A $50 tuition increase is in the
making for BSC students unless
the General Assembly appropriates more money to
public higher education than the
amount Governor Shapp
allocated in his budget.
Governor Shapp proposed a

5.5 per cent increase in appropriations to the Pennsylvania state-funded colleges
and universities. A 12 per cent
increase is necessary to
maintain the current level of
academic services.
Arthur B. Sinkler, Chairman
of the Pennsylvania Board of

State College and University
Directors, the administrative
organ, of the PA Education
System , requested an appropriation of $190 million
without a tuition increase at the
Senate and House Appropriations Committee Budget
Hearings.

The State Board of Education
recommended an appropriation
of $186 million with a $50 tuition
increase. Governor Shapp
proposed a $178 million appropriation also with a $50 increase.
CGA President Tom Mulhern
termed the governor 's appropriation as an "inconceivable" figure to maintain
the current operations.
Since personnel costs are
fixed , any cutbacks would
concentrate in academic
programs and services, library
acquisitions and maintenance.
There is no possibility of
retrenchment for another full
year.
Last week presidents of all
Pennsylvania state colleges and
universities, student and
faculty associations met to
formulate a unified front for an
adequate appropriation.
CAS requested that each
institution send five to 15
students to "represent student
interests in a professional
sense" at the budget hearings.
After the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees
question and deliberate, they
will take their recommendations to the General
Assembly for a vote.
Assuming the appropriation
is less than the requested $190
million, PA state college and
university students will be
paying at least $50 more per
semester. Tuition rates at state
institutions are already among
the highest for publicschools in

the country.
Adding to this gloomy fiscal
situation is the fact that
Governor Shapp has not included a significant increasein
PHEAA, the mainstay of 40 per
cent to 60 per cent of BSC
students' tuition funds.
Considering the severe deficit
situation in the Commonwealth,
legislators may see fit to raise
tuition. However, the tuition
increase is also seen as a
counter productive measure.
The American Association of
State Colleges and Universities
Factbook notes that tuition
hikes cause a drop in
enrollment, consequently, a
decrease in revenue to the institution . Moreover , statefunded schools like BSC cater to
middle income students. An
increase may force many out of
the
only
school , thus
economically elite will be able
to enroll. This defeats the
concept of quality low-cost
public education.
CGA President Mulhern sees
the tuition increase as
inevitable "unless some serious
concern is expressed by
students."
Students can help the CAS
effort by contacting Pierce
Atwater. CAS plans to lobby
strongly until the Secretary of
Education makes a decision.
Writing to your legislators and
having your parents write will
also help. Just a paragraph or
two now and a 13 cent stamp
from Commonwealth students
now may save them $50 or more
next semester.

by JACK FURNISS
Bloomsburg State College is
in line for a $958,000 increase in
Commonwealth funds for the
1977-78 fiscal year, pending
approval by the legislature. The
addition is due in part to the
extensive work done by local
college officials in Harrisburg.
The combined efforts of
President McCormick and Boyd
Buckingham seem to be paying

off according to the proposed
executive budget of Governor
Milton Shapp. These administrators have been working
with legislators in an attempt to
make them cognizant of the fact
that the increase is necessary to
insure a more equitable
alignment with the relative size
of BSC's enrollment.
The proposed increase of
$958,000 makes a total of
$12,526,000 in Commonwealth
funds for the period beginning
July 1, 1977 and ending June 30,
1978. Viewed collectively, the
proposal for 1977-78 includes:
$12,526,000 from the State ;
$1,121,000 from Federal sources; and $8,044,000 from student
fees.
The increase in funding would
allow BSC to secure additional
staff members needed to meet
the growing student enrollment
in the health sciences and the
business fields. A portion of the
increase will also be needed for
additional i n s t r u c t i o n a l
equipment
and — some
desperately heeded physical
plant repairs.
The Governor's budget also
reflects a change in BSC's rank
with regard to the amount of
allocations received by the 14
state colleges. The new budget
would move BSC to seventh
place in funds allocated as
opposed to the previous ninth
place rating. The college,
however, still ranks fifth place
in enrollment as it has for the
past three .years ,,^ ^

CGA looks into tri-level fence

by NANCY FAUSNAUGHT
Whether CGA would back
building a fence around the trilevel and approve allocations
for the CAS Statewide Conference were two issues
discussed at the CGA meeting
on Monday night.
The Recreation Committee
proposed that'a four foot fence
be built around the tri-level for
recreational purposes, such as
street hockey arid basketball. In
order for the project to begin
the state requires a positive
indication—that "CGA " will
financially sponsor the endeavor, before they would send
engineers to design the method
for its construction. CGA passed
a motion stating that they would
back the project if after bids
were sent outf it proved to be
financially feasable.
CAS member Tom Mulhern
requested an allocation of $490
to provide a.luncheon at ,, the

upcoming CAS Statewide
Conference to be held at
Bloomsburg, April 1-3. After
prolonged discussion , the
motion was approved.

CAS president Pierce Atwater
made a strong call for more
support from CGA other than
mere financial backing. The
response to CAS projects and
meetings had been terrible.
Atwater remarked that only
three people attended the last
meeting, Eier.ce~feels4hat~CAS
will not be able to function as
they have in the past without
more student and CGA support,
Both Atwater and CGA
president Mulhern proclaimed
the need for student support
now since the state college
system is faced with financial
catastrophy which will result in
a tuition increase of at least $50.
CAS was able to stop tuition
hikes the last three years.

Matt Connel, head of BSCC,
reported that Heart has cancelled their tour so we will not
be able to obtain them for a
future concert. They are trying
to rescheduled Al Stewart and a
bid was sent to Renaissance.

Another proposal was
suggested to refund a $15 activity fee to a student who withdrew from college as a freshman. The student lost the
money due to collegepolicy and
had —written"two ""letters
requesting the refund that
upperclassmen would normally
receive. The motion was
defeated, however an AD HOC
committee was appointed to
study the policy on refunds.
Cathy Poffenberger reported
that the Arts Council is seeking
interested people to participate
in the organization . Thoy are
now in the process of . drawing

up a constitution.
Several organizations sought
and were allocated funds as
follows : $200 to the Earth
Science Club for projects and
trips, $280 to the French Club
for a trip to New York City, $220
to the Math Club to attend a
regional conference at Shippensburg, $300 to Phi Kappa
Phi, an honorary organization,
and $220 to the Young
Republicans to attend a conference in Washington.
Bill Boyer, CGA Treasurer,
reported " that their is now
$24,607 in the budget with only
five more meetings until the end
of the semester.

JOE SYLVESTER

It ain't easy

On Tuition increase

Ah, spring is on its way. The weather is warmer,
buds are beginning to appear on the trees, many
have their first sun tan of the season and the legislators in Harrisburg are once again, planning a tuition
increase for the students in the state college system.
Yes, it seems like every spring, when the state
college budget aproaches the legislature, inevitably
they talk tuition increase. Last year we did not pay
one because CAS and some other organizations fought
it and won for us. However, this year, the possibility of a tuition increase is creeping closer and
closer to reality, and it is our responsibility to thwart
that increase.
Chances are, if Governor Shapp and the legislators
have it their way, students could be paying anywhere from $50 to $150 more for tuition alone.
Furthermore, don't count on your PHEAA checks
to cover that cost. Although, historically these grants
have been increased proportionately with tuition the
state has indicated that, aithougn tuition may "be
increased the grants from PHEAA will not be augmented.
Presently, the budget for the state college system
has been heard by both House and Senate appropriations committees and will go before the General
Assembly within the next month. Unless students
want to pay the increase, and I doubt that they
do, it is imperative that we inform our legislators
that we want no part of a tuititon increase.
Hopefully, the campaign by students against tuition
increase might arouse some more attention than did
the one in favor of House Bill 1833. If more students
had expressed a concern here the bill might have
passed. Instead it's still floundering in committee.
Maybe, students may become a little more
cognizant of the issue this time expecially since it
could mean a longer and harder summer job or
working while going to school just to pay tuition.
If we don't express opposition to the tuition hike
no one else will. Write letters to your legislators
and if you're really interested come to the local
CAS meetings to learn what we can do to stop this
increase.

writing this article he might
have titled it Fear and Loathing
on the CGA Campaign Trail '77.
Well it's me instead and I've
titled it the three p's because it
seems to better express the
particular brand of fear and
loathing which we seem to have
at BSC.
POLITICS
The first of the three p 's is
politics. What is the nature of
politics at BSC? Well the obvious answer to that is screwedup. But aside from value
judg ements, let's look at facts.
Take the elections themselves. At the time of this
writing no one knows who has
been elected, but when you read
this either Ed Barrett or Joe
Surdoval will be your new chief
executive. The reasons of either
Ed or Joe's win depend on the
same factors as any political
contest.
Obviously the man who won
received a majority of the vote
or he would not have been
elected. Just how do you go
about getting a majority? Well
you start by campaigningadvertising your qualifications
to the students whom you are
going to represent. You can also

Last semester, in my column
about the movie "Carrie ", I
promised that that would be my
only movie review. However , if
anyone has seen the movie
"Rocky" they know that it is
well
a very good , ' entertaining movie.
It is a story of a small-time
fighter and part-time bill
collector for a loan shark who
gets a shot at the big time with
the champion of the world.
During the time he is training
for his once-in-a-life-time
chance, occasionally using
sides of beef as sparring partners, he becomes more involved
in a relationship with a girl in a
pet shop.
I guess you'd have to see the

movie for yourself to straighten
things out at this point.
Anyway, the word is that this
movie is well worth seeing. My
opinion of it? Who knows, I
didn't see it . If I had seen it , it
would have been something to
write a column about. But since
I didn't see it I didn 't think it
would be a good idea to write
about it, so enough of that.
Why didn't I write about
something else like 'what I did
over Spring Break' or 'what I
think of the weather' or 'why Idi
Amin should not be named man
of the year?' The problem was
that I didn't feel like it. I even
had a few other ideas like
'where do college kids from
Florida go for Spring Break?' or
'why don't I get any letters?',

advertise
the
lack
of
qualifications of your opponent
(sort of like saying "Vote for me
because the other guy is an
asshole"). The other candidate
may be one for other reasons
but the issue concerning us as
voters is "Is this going to affect
his political abilities?"
BSC students seem to go
along with the old Firesign
Theatre adage: "Who knows...?
Who cares?" Apathy, you know.
To reach apathetic students
the candidate has at his disposal
the Campus Voice, the BSC
today and his own financial
resources which he uses to
make posters, signs, etc. One
would think that the CGA
election committee would go out
of its way to make sure that all
facets of communication are
available to candidates during
their campaigns. You would
think so, but that's not the way
CGA conducted this election.
The elections were held over a
two day period when the
Campus Voice didn't come out
until the day after elections. A
campus newspaper is a
necessary and important tool in
informing the students not
merely of candidates' views,
but of the need for students to
get involved.
It is unfortunate that CGA has
not consulted the Campus Voice
in this matter, for it deemphasizes the effectiveness of
their work. This lack of communicative planning is just one
example of how CGA screwed
things up this time.
I might also point out the lack
of publicity of the candidate's
debate — which is another blot
on the election committee 's
otherwise decent record .
Still under the heading of
politics, there was a situation
which developed during the
primary elections called a
"violation of plurality ". This
means that when students
voted , they should have voted
for one, and not two candidates
of their choice. Some students
did vote for two candidates
while others voted for one,

causing confusion and difficulties which CGA took no
action to avoid. Quoters of
Charlie Manson would comment , "That' s what they
deserve , that's what they
deserve."
POWER
The power that the president
of CGA has at his disposal is
awesome compared to a lot Of
other jobs on campus. Likewise
for all the other officers ' jobs.
Historians have the saying
"Absolute power corrupts
absolutely", which applied to
BSC history means that the
power of a CGA office might
seem more attractive to its
holder than the responsibility to
his electors. Lest an office
holder use student rights as his
excuse for playing power
games, we should examine his
work in terms of effectiveness
in representing and trying to
reach , the five thousand
students which he assumes
support him , and not taking
their support for granted.
We must realize that when
CGA becomes just another
clique, just another club, or just
another frat , it is time to hold
funeral services for BSC. We
must realize that Student Activism is not the issue here. The
issue is not whether the
majority of five-thousand
students arc willing to get involved in what their governors
are doing — because they're
not. The issue is whether the
students even care what the hell
goes on , and if CGA is able to
get them interested in what the
hell goes on, N
The problem is what I call
prede stined
resignation.
Students at BSC, despite the
reassuring proportions in last
week's Photo Forum , are of the
same opinion as Steve Johnson
which counts just as much as
Ed Barrett's Joe Surdoval's, or
even mine. "No, Ive been too

other things and haven't gotten

Pilot furnishes
quick information
by KIM DILLIPLANE
Academic life, student services and student activities should be
concerns of every BSC student. Yet, do you know where to find
quick informat ion about them? Each BSC student has such information at their fingertips. (Or at least in the bottom drawer of
a desk. )
The Pilot, a handbook designed for quick reference, may not be
on the top ten book list but it does contain important information
about BSC Grading policies, the pass-fail option , parking
regulations, extracurricular activities, health services and even
where to do your la un dry are only a few .things found in the Pilot
Barb Hagan , editor of the Pilot, said that there have been a few
changes made in the 76-77 edition. A major change is the ABC's of
Finding Things which is a more detailed index. Major headings
have been alphabetized and pag e numbers are given for fast
finding.
The Bloomsburg Players, tests for graduate schools and future
employment and WP-WF grade explanations are other revisions
that have been made.
Barb Hagan had the job of editing the Pilot for the past two
years. She said that the handbook is mostly policy which stays
basically the same-each year. Her job was to word these policies
as simply as possible. Along with Barb's editing, students are
asked each semester for any suggestions or input they may have.
Dean Norton has the final check on the student input before it is
, '
published.
You may never use the Pilot but it is an easy way to find information if you ever need it. If nothing else interests you about
the Pilot there are some good pictures, courtesy of the Obiter and

Vandalismhurts
Lib. efficiency
by BONNIE EPLETT
All of us at one time or
another have made use of
Andruss Library. The building,
which was constructed in 1966,
is open 7 days a week for a total
of 85 hours. Considering the
tremendous usage, the library's
wear and tear, has been
minimal. It's the vandalism,
which although not as much a
problem as in the bigger institutions, that hurts the college
financially .
Among the acts of vandalism
are such thefts as stealing the
EXIT signs, ripping out articles
in magazines, and . one lucky
soul got away with some furniture.
The "Checkpoint" security
system helps to alleviate many
book thefts, but still, there are
those who rip the inside portion
of the book from the binding and
then return the binding to the
shelf.
"Space is our biggest enemy"
says Mr. Scott Miller. Andruss
wasn't constructed to hold as

much as it now holds. Consequently, having two or more
copies of some manuscripts is
virtually impossible. Because of
this, some students take and
keep the only copy so they won't
have to worry about not being
able to locate the material later.
Another difficulty lies in the
financial area . Library funds
have been cut drasticly , making
it hard to keep up with new
material input. Having to split
the funds for new material with
the replacement of stolen
materials hinders the wholi
idea of keeping the library
material contemporary.
Andruss Library has had
363,000 people travel through its
turnstyle last year. Considering
the number of people who use
the library, the damage by
vandalism is small. Yet, when
considering that all those people
need to use the information
available to them , the costs
grow. Think about that next
time you decide the book you
need won't really be missed.

Grievances and a policy to deal with them, this was the topic of
the last meeting of the Coordination Committee on College Life.
Jerry Griffin , VP of Student Life, an d the committee reviewed a
draft for an additional Grievance Policy. The current policy deals
only with cases of discrimination and related issues. The new
policy will investigate and - or adjudicate alleged administrative,
instructional , or student organ izational injustices.
Tentatively, actingon a grievance (carryingout the policy) will
be an additional duty of the Student-Faculty Judicial Committee.
The goal of the committee is to have the policy completed and in
effect by the next semester. It will then be printed in the student
handbook, The Pilot.

Inspections

Off campushousing
this which Mr. Albertson needs
in order to prepare an accurate
inspection report. After all , no
one knows the condition of your
room - apartment better than
you ! A copy of Mr. Albertson 's
inspection report will be forwarded to the college Housing
Office where the Director of
Housing will contact any landlord whose property violates
the local building or safety
codes.
Incidentally, students who
wish to renew their leases or
relocate in another apartment
for September should check
with their landlords to insure
that the apartment they wish to
rent has passed the inspection ,
For their own protection ,
students are strongly advised to
add a clause to their leases
stating that the landlord will
guarantee that the apartment
will meet the requirements of
the local building code or, if not,
provide a full refund or alternate accomodations of similar
quality.

Should the town inspector,
Mr. Albertson, visit your room apartment while you are there,
please be candid in mentioning
things which are wrong with
your residence. If your plumbing doesn't work or you don't
have enough heat or hot water,
tell him !If there are no locks on
your doors or your stair steps
are rotten, be sure to let him
know ! It is information such as

compiled by Wayne PaInter

The committee also decided
tc leave the possibility of buying
trailers for emergency studen t
housing to the housing committee to look in to.
The committee is keeping
open all possibilities but with
their guidelines in mind they
are still looking into other
possible investments.

Grievancepolicy

In accordance with college
Housing Office policy, all
landlords - homeowners
registered with the college
whose rental properties lie

Something of value

To be a liberal, part one

SUBMITTED BY
JAY C.ROCHELLE
PROTESTANT
CAMPUS PASTOR
In 1967 Phil Ochs defined a
liberal as a person- six points to
the left of center unless affected
personally ". In the sixties the
liberal tradition in education
was tarred with the same brush
that saw through * phony
liberalism in social and political
realms. "Columbia" became a
symbol of lost meanings.
Convulsions within academe
almost destroyed the foundations of higher education in
the west. Recently a spate of
articles in the Times, Harper 's,
and higher educational journals
have raised the possibility of a
re-grounding of education in the
liberal tradition .
In The Immortal Profession
Gilbert Highet says: "There are
all kinds of skills which can be
taught, and which will help the
men and women who acquire
them to make a living; but if
these men and women have not
also had a liberal education
they are little better than clever
slaves. The word 'liberal '
means 'fitted to be a free man,'
one who is not a slave to a
machine or to an office or to a

single money-making skill" (p.
39) .
What happened to destroy or
damn this education model?
Here are some possible answers.
We like to get things done in
America. We prefer the
pragmatic and practical to the
theoretical. This has given us
technological greatness ; but
this spirit applied to education
has led us to overemphasize
practical results to the
diminution
of
reflective
groundings. Thinking seems to
be de-valued unless it is
practical. Unfortunately, what
may happen in this process is
that root thinking, upon which
one builds a lifestyle , - is
replaced by thought dealing
only with external aspects of
living. Not much attention is
paid to being.
Higher education is also a
business. It lives with accountability between culture
and college, but the accountability seems one-sided. In
most colleges, people are
prepared on the basis of future
marketability
of
skills.
Thinking may not be one of
those skills. The liberal
tradition has no cash value in

Our culture is given to the

secondary sources seem the

original thinkers. Gordon Craig
has called this "green stamp
education "; save up enough
credits in anything and ^ash
them in at the end of four years
for a diploma (DAEDALUS,
Fall '74) . Basic courses are
unfortunately often a drag; in
the vacuum, folks scurry to
investigate momentary fits of
fancy which may prove in the
long
run
inadequate
preparation for a lifetime of
thought and action.

Lastly there is the hue and cry
that people are unprepared to
dear with liberal traditions
when they arrive at college. One
tires of reading the diagnoses of
the illness (terminal? ) affecting
the English language.. There is
also an attitude which suggests
college isn't goirig to alter the
memorized boredom of high
school, so why bother? On the
other side is this chillingly
critical passage by Allan
Bloom: "the achievement of a
liberal education by a student
will, for the time being at least,
be a mere piece of good luck the coincidence of the students
who long for learning meeting
with the teachers who 'know
something about the simple old
things. " (DAEDALUS, Fall
'74). Happily this is possible at
BSC.
These are among the issues
which have de-yalued education
in the liberal tradition. Next
we'll take a look at what that
tradition is supposed to be all
about.

Schweikeri ntroduces erf. bill

WASHINGTON — March 1 A bill to provide a $1000 income
tax deduction or $250 tax credit
for tuition paid for education
from first grade through
graduate school was introduced
today by U. S. Senator Richard
S. Schweiker (R-Pa.)
The Schweiker Tuition Relief
Act is similar to legislation
introduced in the 94th Congress
by Senator James Buckley
(Cons-R-N.Y.).
"We are deluding ourselves if
we think public education in this
country can survive without a
viable system of private
education ," Schweiker said.
"If , for example, the private
and parochial schools were to
shut down overnight, there is no
way in the world the public

school systems and the taxpayers could assume the burden.

The Schweiker bill offers a
choice between two forms of tax
relief:

*

"The popular image of
private schools usually calls to
mind the elite academies. But in
fact most non-public school
students are the children of
middle-class parents with
average, incomes. These
families have sacrificed to
come up with tuition payments,
even though they are also
paying taxes to support public
schools. But as tuition costs
rise, thousands of children must
leave their schools and enter the
public system. The Tuition
Relief Act will enable these
families to again seek an
alternative."

— a deduction before figuring
taxable income of up to $1000 for
tuition paid per eligible individual; or
—a tax credit of 50 per cent of
tuition payments, up to $250 per
individual , which could be
subtracted from federal taxes
otherwise owed.
Eligible individuals include
the taxpayer, his or her spouse,
and any dependents claimed on
the tax return.
The tax deduction or credit
would apply to tuition paid to
private
elementary
and

secondary schools, all public
and private institutions of
higher learning, and vocational
schools.

Schweiker-pointed ou t Q^ ^\S
proposal differs from the
Buckley bill introduced last
year in that it provides a credit,
which will benefit lower and
middle income families who do
not itemize their deductions. He
also cited statistics which show
it is less expensive to educate a
student at a private school than
a public school. In 1974, the last
year for which complete data is
available, private elementary
and secondary school students
were educated at an average
cost of $1,191 per pupil, as opposed to $1,281 per pupil in

Comp. 102
may
change
by JIM PEFFLEY
E d u c a t i on
General
requirements were discussed at
a meeting of the Coordinating
Committee on Academic Affairs last Tuesday. The two
major topics debated upon were
the changing of group
requirements and English
Composition 102 — Writing
Proficiency Examination.
The present General Ed
policy states that students are
required to take twelve
semester hours in each of the
three disciplines — Humanities,
Social Sciences and Natural
Sciences — with at least two
different subjects represented.
A motion, made previously by
the Representative Assembly,
stated that three subjects
should be represented instead of
two. Dr. Craig L. Himes,
chairperson of Biological
sciences, and Dr. Roy D.
Pointer, associate professor of
chemistry, suggested that the
motion be tabled until the individual schools worked out
the
problems
involving
proposal. One of the major
problems is the choice of
courses intended to be labeled
as General Ed courses.
English Composition 102
continued to be a controversial
topic at the meeting. Joe Surmember ,
doval , student
suggested abolishing the course
until a more suitable one be
made. His motion failed. Lou
Hunsinger, student member,
suggested that the English
department evaluate and
review the course instead of the
CCAA attempting to force a
change. Dr. Louis F. Thompson ,
chairperson of the English
department , agreed as the
motion carried.
A minor issue faced by the
CCAA was the adoption of a
Category II abstract formation .
Category II issues deal with
changes within the entire
curriculum .
The next meeting of the CCAA
will be held in Navy Hall
Auditorium on March 22 at 3:30
p.m.
Student evaluation of faculty
will take place this semester during tho week of April 18 to 22.
This date is different from that
listed on tho calendar. Tho questionnaire used last semester will
bo employed again, but the c< .remittee on Student Evaluation of
Faculty Is soliciting both student
and faculty input for a revised or
now instrument for tho fall. Ideas
should bo submitted to the Student
Evaluation of Faculty Committee
rpom 10 Ben Franklin no later than
March 15.

Baseball team wins
three games in Fid

by AL SCHOCH
When asked about how much
the spring break trip to Florida
helped the Bloomsburg State
baseball team, coach . Clark
Boler said that the outlook for
the season is brighter than he
expected.
He has a right to be surprised.
The Huskies, who won only 2
games last season, came right
off the bus and won three of
their five games. And those
wins were not your ordinary
victories. In the games that
they won, the Huskies outscored
their opponents by a crushing

44-2 count, and were in the other
games all the way before
bowing.
Coach Boler has some
pleasant problems to % solve
before the Huskies open their
regular season next month. The
starting luneup, for example, is
wide open to practically the
whole team. In the five game
swing, nine players hit over
.300, with four of them hitting
over .400. Outfielder Bill
Pennesi, last season's leading
hitter, had the team highs in
hits (10) , and batting average
(.526). In the extra-base

for the scoring title throughout
the season, finished his impressive four-year career with

category, outfielder Scott
Vercoe smacked two home
runs, one a grand slam shot.
PITCHING
In pitching, Bob Gibson was
the most impressive of a staff
that was overall quite effective.
Of all his pitching stints, he had
two outstanding ones. His first
time out against Penn StateBeaver campus, he struck out
the side in both innings, and
against Tampa , he gave up only
one hit and no runs in two innings. Other pitchers who had a
good trip were Rick Budweg,
Rich White, and Bruce Wilson.
Perhaps the biggest surprise
of the trip was the play of the
freshmen. Six freshmen, as well
as three first year men, really
came through for the Huskeis
and probably scared the
veterans about positions on the
squad.* Both catchers were
freshmen, andBob Graham and
Jim Quinn showed all that they
could play, hitting .444 and .333
respectively. Outfielder Scott
Espe hit .555, and Jack Behan
had a .333 average. Pitcher
Scott Richards was the top
freshman hurler, giving up no
runs and three hits in three
innings against Tampa .
SCRIMMAGES PLANNED
Coach Boler , along with
assistant coaches Rick Rogers
and Bob PeCarolis, plan a few
more scrimmage games before
the 1977 opener March 30 at
Buclcnell . Conference plsy
begins April 2, when Kutztown
visits Litwhiler Field in a
doubleheader .
Looking into conference play,
Coach Boler's big goal is for the
Huskies to win the championships And if BSC can hit,pitch, and play the way they did
in Florida, this goal just might
be a reality.
