President McCormick has been
at BSC he has worked to build a
college government structure in
which the various constituents
are a part of the decision
making.
McCormick is pleased with
the cooperation between
students, faculty, and ad-

ministration and their united
efforts in coping with present
problems.
One such issue is that of a
possible $50 a semester tuition
increase. McCormick related
that the State's appropriations
to its colleges are the largest
they 've ever been. He added
that , "In view of the fiscal
conditions in , - the Com-

monwealth, there is a likelihood
of a tuition increase." The
appropriation requested by the
colleges would hold costs.
As a college community, "we
have to argue the case for
public higher education as an
important priority for Pennsylvania," said the president.
McCormick sees "tremendous participation on the part of

CAS urges youto
register to vote

by BILL TROXELL
The importance of a campaign for voter registration on
campus, and the Upcoming
Statewide CAS conference
spotlighted the Commonwealth
Association of Students (CAS)
meeting Tuesday evening. The
proposed tuition increase and
methods of containing it were
also discussed.
Dr. David Greenwald of the
BSC "Sociolog y department
began the meeting with a pitch
aimed to interest students in
helping a campaign to register
students to vote. Because of the
anticipated trouble with
Harrisburg regarding the
tuition increase, Dr. Greenwald
feels that the more registered
voters we have the better our
chances are for defeating it.
Greenwald also noted the
problem that exists with
graduating seniors. Voter
registration must be kept up
each year because we lose quite
a few votes from students who
finish their studies and leave
the Bloomsburg area.
A large scale campaign will
be launched shortly to encourage registration before the
deadline, April 18, 1977. He also
stated that it is far better to
register here rather than in
your home area because there
would not be nearly as much
political pull for higher
education outside of state
college towns and cities.
The BSC chapter of CAS will
be hosting a statewide conference on April 1, 2 and 3. A
total of 80 students from each of
the 14 state colleges , and
several area representatives of
the Pa. House and Senate are
expected to attend. Lobbying
technique and the importance of
lighting the proposed tuition
increase will be the main
subj ects of discussion.
With regard to the Governor's
proposed decrease in college
funding and an increase in
tuition , Tom Mullhern, CGA
president said," I feel confident
that we will have a tuition in-

crease unless some grass roots
politicking begins on the local
campuses."
Mulhern also anticipates
retrenchment to begin once
again as of September '77.
Letters of retrenchment to the
faculty and staff must be sent
out by September 15of the year
before it is to take, place
meaning that it will not go into
effect until the school year of 7879. "We can't sit back and
watch it happen ", proclaimed
Mulhern.
Pierce Atwater, CAS coordinator of the BSC Chapter,
related the importance of
writing to your representatives,
both local and from your home
town. It was also urged that you
have your parents write. See
Page 5 of this edition of the
CAMPUS VOICE for addresses
and a sample letter.

membership

something that makes BSC
unique among institutions, not
to mention student participation
on its committees.
In regard to the housing
situation the president hopes
the problem will diminish with
the combined solutions of
Lycoming Hall , holding
enrollment at the present level,
despite a rising number of
applications, and having Mr.
Abel and the Housing Office
devote a good deal of time to offcampus housing.
Looking toward the future,
McCormick hopes to make
some improvements. Very
important among these . is
reducing the high faculty ratios
in several departments. He also
plans continued support of
expanded programs , the
proposed human services
building, and an addition to the
Andruss Library.
For any substantial progress
in these areas, some big appropriations will be in order.
McCormick believes BSC can

get a larger share of the money
allocated to higher education in
the Commonwealth if all
members of its college community continue to work
together for the good of the
college.
Overall ,. the president
reported that BSC is doing well.
Admissions applications are
increasing indicating that
BSC's reputation is improving.
He also noted that the SAT
scores of applicants have taken
a turn upward.
McCormick attributes the
rise in applications to students
telling their friends about BSC.
He is "delighted in the student
interest, in BSC. Students
determine the strength, growth,
and development of a college."
"BSC graduates are also
doing well, " reported McCormick. Placements for last
year's grads reached 65 per
cent.
BSC's president sees the
institution as "a good college in
which all constituent parts are
working together to solve its
problems and enhance its
reputation."

CGA officers-elect

BUT HOW CAN I HAVE SPRING FEVER? Some of BSC' s obviously busier students take
a break from their studies and other "activities" to catch a few rays of this week's sunshine. If things keep going this way , they'll have to move classes outside.

The new CGA officers were
elected on February 21 and 22.
The new president is Joe
Surdoval from Allentown. He is
a sophomore majoring in
Political Science and has been a
member of this year's college
council.
Surdoval has some goals for
himself as the new CGA
president. First of all he will
seek to reform unfair academic
policies through student involvement in the Representative Assembly. He wants to
work with CAS for their goal of
keeping quality education at a
reasonable price, "V want to
search for solutions to the
housing problem and make use
of a lawyer to insure that
students get a fair shake from
their landlords," said Surdoval.
Surdoval hoping to fulfill his
promise to fight for student
rights, stated, "I hope I can
succeed in the job the students
have entrusted me with. " -

Jill Sanderlin, the new vice
president, is a junior from
Philadelphia. She is doublemajoring
in
Secondary
Education-English
and
Education of the Hearing Impaired.
"My goal is to work with the
elected officers of CGA and with
the administration for the
betterment of the students and
to make students more aware of
what CGA is doing and trying to
keep open the paths of communication between the
students and CGA," said
Sanderlin. She continued, "I'd
like to thank all those people
who showed their interest in the
affairs oi CGA by voting in the
elections.
Jerry Eisenhart ,* a junior
from East Berlin , Pa., is the
new CGA treasurer. He is
majoring in Business Administration - Accounting.
Eisenhart would like to see
the investment committee get
off the ground and come to a

Even better than before
satisfactory conclusion. "I
would like to see more students
get involved with the Investment and Finance Committee meetings to see what is
being done with their $60
community activities fee. I will
be available to answer student
questions and concerns," said
Eisenhart.
"My main concern is to see
that CGA gets away from the
image of being a bank and see to
it that it deals nibre with issues
and policies that deal with
student welfare," said Barb
Fahey, a junior from Taylor ,
Pa. She is the new CGA
corresponding secretary, and is
majoring in English with an
emphasis in Journalism. She is
currently the editor of the BSC
yearbook, the Obiter.
Fahey continued, "I would
like to see CGA become a more
vital organ for the airing of
student
problems
and
grievances and to work towards
the resolution of these things/' ,

Megen Williams, a freshman
from Tamaqua majoring in
Psychology is the new recording secretary.
"As secretary I hope to
further my knowledge of administrative policies and to
leave my mark on this college,"
said Williams. She continued, "I
hope by the time I leave office
and by the time I leave this
college that students will take a
more active interest in why,
when and how their money is
spent by CGA. I think this
year 's council has done a good
job and I hope that next year 's
council does an even better job ,
Through my work in CGA and
CAS I have seen how much of a
role politics plays in the state
college system and our
education in general. "

The Horror of the Campus

^^—

Tuition hike
CAS. Who needs it? Who cares about a $50 tuition increase? It seems obvious that few students do. For instance,
last weeks Photo Forum: "I didn't know about it but I guess
I'll have to pay it." False. If students remember that they
are here for 1) a quality education and 2) social life , possibly they would concern themselves with fighting tuition increases with CAS.
Granted, CAS has several problems among themselves.
These problems however , could be easily solved with more
student participation. Three people can not possibl y do the
work for 6,000. Organizing a campaign to fight Harrisburg
is difficult and can't be done without complete student support. Why do a handful of people do all the work which
they know will turn out second rate anyway? What may I
ask motivates them? Probably a deeper concern for your
education than you have yourself.
Because of a terrible vice known as apathy, students
fail to understand a great deal of the point in fighting a
tuition increase. It is more then |ust tuition increase. If the
state is successful with the proposed increase Bloom will
stand to lose 4 - 500 students. Unbelievable , yet tru. It has
been proven that for every one percent tuition increase,
one percent of the student population will be forced to drop
out of school. PHEAA will not compensate for the increase.
Also, if tuition is raised this year , it will be next year and so
on, until public education becomes as expensive as private
thus forcing our 14 college system to fold or to reorganize
in the method Ms. Kies suggested last year in her memorandum. This could make-our degrees worthless.
It seems that there is too much priority placed to social
life here at BSC. As we ail know it is important but is it as
necessary as taking our rights and responsibilities as students and putting them to work ?
Fraternities and sororities concern a large portion of students at Bloom. They are also benificial to many. What
service do they perform for the college? Sure they do their
service projects , but if they would only realize the power
they could hold as a block of students in fighting Harrisburg
activity instead of worrying about who's dating who and how
many barrels they are buying for this weeks party. It would

"Can I help you young man?"
the assistant librarian asked.
"Yes," I said, "I was looking
for a book by H. P. Lovecraft
entitled The Call of Cthulhu. "
"Was it listed in the card
catalogue? " She inquired. I told
her that it was, but that the
space on the shelf was vacant.
"I'm sorry," she replied, "it's
probably been taken out."
"Thank you," I said, and
headed towards the door. I was
intercepted by a gray-haired
and bearded old man. "Excuse
me, son but I couldn 't help
overhearing. What do you want
Lovecraft for?"
I told the man as simply as I
could about Bill Troxell' s
psychic experience at the
seance the previous day. "Ah
yes, the tarot are on oracle to
the Elder Gods and their
minions," he replied.
"Am I to understand that you
know something about all
this?" I asked.
"Forgive me. My name is
Carl Anderson, I'm an associate
of Professor Wingate Peaslee of
Miskatonic University- in
Arkham , Massachusetts. " I
introduced myself and shook
Anderson's hand. We moved to
a table in the back of the library
and he explained the nature of
his visit to me.
"A group of Archeologists,
Occultists and men of other
diverse backgrounds have been
involved for some time in

keeping tabs oh a race of fantastic beings called the Elder
Gods, Lovecraft was one of our
converts. The Cthulhu mentioned in his stories is one of the
creatures of which I speak."
"Have you heard of one called
Yog-Sothoth?" I asked.
"Ofcourse,"he replied. "Yog
is one of the more powerful
beings. He is so powerful that
when the kindly Elder Gods
vanquished their evil bretheren,
Yog was condemned • to a
dimensional prison outside our
known universe. "
"I'm afraid I don 't understand."
"It is as well. If you did you'd
probably run out of here
screaming. "
"I'll be the judge of that.
Please continue."
"Very well Daryl, but I
wouldn't ask you to accept what
I say without offering some
proof ,"Anderson said, reaching
into his attache case. The
pictures he showed me were
like none I'd ever seen. Some
were photos of crude huts in the
Louisiana bayous, others were
shots of
carvings
and
heiroglyphics, base reliefs and
statues, and believe me they
were pretty weird.
Not only were they weird,
they were downright terrifying
in some cases. You'll know what
I mean if you ever see a photo of
blood-soaked sacrificial altars.
There were even a few

This so-called hayfever does

For the most part this enemy of

COREY WATERS , BSC sophomore , recentl y filed a
petition to run for Bloomsburg town council.
(Photo by Musser)

Corey Waters, a student here
at BSC, majoring in political
science has petitioned to enter
the Bloomsburg primary on
May 17 to run for Town Council.
Waters , a sophomore from
Shamokin Dam, secured fifteen
democratic signatures, from
students, for his petition to meet
the deadline last Thursday and
to submit the form to the court
house.
Wators is a member of CGA
as a dormitory representative
from Montour and is treasurer
of the Young Democrats on
campus.
There are three positions
open on the council in
November and Waters feels
that it would be a good gesture
to the town if a student from the
college would be on the board.
"There is a need - even if it's
just to show the townspeople
that the college does care about
the town. It would improve
town-college relations. Also ,
students do spend a lot of money
at the local stores and to the
landlords afid therefore need a

voice m the town," Waters
pointed out. "There has never
been a student on the council
and I feel that it is time that
there should be. "
Waters needs the support of
the 700 registered democrats on
campus and off. This week he
will be starting to work to get to
every one of them either by
phone ,and (or) knocking on
their- doors. He has also been in
contact with groups and clubs in
the town, such as the Senior
Citizens, Rotary, Chamber of
Commerce, Mason's Union and
the Cancer Society, to set up
speaking engagements to let the
townspeople know that he will
work WITH the town and
students.
A complication that Waters
and his Young Democrat
volunteers will have to overcome is the date of the primary,
which is May 17 and most of the
people at BSC are long gone by
then, since the last day of school
is the 15th. To remedy this
situation applications for absentee ballots must be filled out
before the end of April by each
of the registered voters if he

Dear Editor:
I would like to defend the CGA
Election Committee since a
member of your staff , Duane
Long, falsely accused it so
horribly in your March 11 issue
of the Campus Voice. For one
thing, all communication-facets
available on campus, including
Radio Station WBSC, BSC
Today, posters, and your very
own Campus Voice were
utilized in informing students
and candidates about petitions,
the debate, candidate's night,
and voting.*!! seems strange to
me that a member of your staff
and a candidate for CGA
President could be so misinformed about what appeared in
your publication. Perhaps the
reason is that the notices which
appeared in the Campus Voice
were not given enough importance and thus, were placed
in small boxes on back pages, as
are most articles of valuable
information. If a campus
newspaper is, "a necessary and
important tool in informing the
students not merely of candidate's views, but of the need
for students to get involved," I

HAW »» D0&

suggest the Campus Voice put
into effect what they proclaim.
Mr. Long also suggested in his
article that the Election
Committee should work more
closely with the Campus Voice
in planning elections. I ask this,
"If they were so concerned
about the planning, why was
there no one at any Election
Committee meetings
representing the Campus
Voice?" All Election Committee meetings are publicly
announced at CGA meetings
and planning meetings of
Election Committee are open to
anyone. The days for voting,
incidently, were chosen because
those were the days we felt we
would get the largest turnout of
voters.
While we are on the subject of
turnouts, I would like to inform
Mr. Long that this past election
had the largest turnout of voters
than any other in BSC history.
This is not only due to the
students becoming more aware
and concerned, but also because
of several new policies and
ideas this year 's Election

. . .
Committee put into effect.
As for the subject of plurality
voting in primary elections, it
has been and will continue to be
a policy of elections in
primaries. Since the primaries
are for the purpose of
eliminating all but two candidates, all students should be
given the opportunity to choose
two candidates which they feel
should be in the final elections. I
see no reason why Mr. Long
opposed this idea since it
benefited his virtually im
possible try in winning the
Presidency of CGA. (As you see
Duane, I can be nasty too.)
I find it very sad for a candidate who lost the election in
the primaries to falsely accuse
the Election Committee and use
them as an excuse for his loss.
This to me is truly a violation of
free press and I am deeply
sorry Mr. Long had to resort to
such tactics.
Sincerely,
Bruce D. DeHaven
CGA Election
Committee Chairperson

„„ .,
REPLY
I would like to apologize to the
CGA Election Committee and
Bruce DeHaven in particular
for any misconceptions they
may have regarding my March
11story. I intended the article to
be a critique of the Committee's
procedure where plurality and
the Campus Vocie are concerned. I also meant to suggest
that the job CGA had done to
that point, which was damn
impressive, was no excuse for
them to rest on their laurels.
Since a defense of my story
would only involve a rehash of
it, I suggest that those concerned re-read it. It was written
before the final elections, and I
am pleased to hear that we had
a record turnout , but let's not
use that as an excuse to take a
political breather when it comes
to the next one. You 've done a
damn good job Bruce, but
whether I've won or not, I don't
have to make accusations ,
because there's still a much
harder job to be done.
Respectfully,
DuaneJR. Long

V

(she) wishes to vote in the
primary. Corey, himself , and
several volunteers will be going
door-to-door to each democratic
voter and explain the procedure
for them to go through (Which
Follows):
A letter for the application is
filled out and sent,in to the court
house, then an application for
the absentee ballot is sent back
to be filled out and sent back
and THEN finally the ballot is
sent to the voter to be marked
and returned. The whole
procedure seems to be a lot of
red tape to go through but, "I
feel that I can reach all of the
people related to the college and
if they support me I think I can
be elected ," said Waters optimistically, "I don't think I
would run if I didn 't think I'd
have a chance. "
If elected , in November ,
Waters will have the opportunity to voice the opinions,
feelings and grievances of the
college and work with the
Council for two of the four years
that the position will be open.
All businessmen, merchants,
and BSC faculty and staff that
are registered democratic
voters will receive flyers from
Waters dealing with his reasons
for running and asking for
support.
While on CGA Waters has
been on the Awards Committee
and Elections Committee. He is
also a member of the Commonwealth Association of
Students (CAS) and ventured to
Harrisburg last week to lobby
with CAS and the state college
presidents against a tuition
increase.
'If the town council has an
input to Harrisburg dealing
with the opposition of the tuition
increase, at least the legislators
will understand that the town
also is concerned about the
college, but if students are
forced to drop-out because of a
boost in fees - the business
people in Bloomsburg will pay
for it also because there will be
less money coming in from the
students." Waters goes on , "My
main concern at present is to
get through the primary and
then the general election in
November. If I can accomplish
that I know that the town will
not be able to take advantage of
the college, but I first need the
support of the college. If they
show concern, the town will
have to take notice."

agreement in an effort to
convince APSCUF membership
that APSCUF is not the exclusive bargaining agent for
the faculty at the 14 state
colleges and univeristy that
PSEA has the right to handle
grievances for PSCU faculty
members.
PSEA, according to Hazley,
made an unauthorized printing
of the APSCUF agreement with
the Commonwealth and bound
the agreement in a deliberately
and maliciously altered cover
that erroneously shows PSEA to
be a party to the agreement.
The APSCUF complaint filed

with PLRB charges that
"...flagrant misrepresentations
and deceptions have been made
by PSEA-NEA representatives
t o.. .A P S C UF
members.,.throughout the Commonwealth" and that ""such
m i s r e p r e s e n ta t i o n s and
deceptions usderraisi?v obstruct , and. interfere with
A P S C U F \s e x c l u s i v e

bargaining activities^/' and
constitute "ac unlawful
restraint or coesxioc. c£ employees in the exsicase «£ r%&:s
guaranteed in Article ^ ©? the
(Public Employee RsL&tksss.)
Act."
The charges against PSEA
grow out of an affiliation
dispute between PSEA and
APSCUF that has raged on the
14 PSCU campuses since last
fair. APSCUF — a tiny union
representing the fewer than
5,000 facul ty members at
Pennsylvania State Colleges
and University had been affiliated with the 90,000 member
PSEA under an affiliations
agreement that expired on
August 31, 1976.
"When we were unable to
negotiate a new affiliations
agreement providing the same
independence and autonmy as
the former agreement," Hazley
said, "we reluctantly accepted
our severence from PSEA.

SupportCAS

Michael Sommers, Associate Director for the Commonwealth
Association of Students ( CAS), will be leaving the student advocacy
in early may because CAS will no longer have the funds to pay his
salary.
"The students back on the campuses are just not supporting CAS,"
explains President Nathan L. Gadsden, "If they don't join CAS, we
cannot run the organization."
Gadsden says that the cutback in staff is coming at a particularly
bad time. "We're in there fighting to keep tuition down — we need
more staff , not less. CAS — and all of the students — are definitely
going to be hurt by this."
CAS Executive Director Eugene T. Carroll, says that the organization is in no immediate danger of closing its doors. "We're just
going to have to cut back until more students join,'' he said.
About 20,000 students are CAS members this semester, approximately one-fourth of the total student population at the state colleges
and university. Membership in CAS costs $1 a semester.

PSEA , however , would not

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
CAMPUS JUNIORS BEING
TRIPLED?

Kathy Ptasinski (Fr.) - I think
that tripling juniors is a big
mistake and is unfair to the
juniors and all others involved.
It's bad enough some freshmen
have to be tripled. After all,
they have some seniori ty.

Alen Pedersen (Soph.) - I feel
that being tripled when you are
a junior is going to force a lot of
students off campus and only
worsening the off campus
housing problem. All I've got to
say is I'm damn glad I'll be an
R.A. next year.

Carl IacoveHi (Soph.) - Due to
financial reasons within the
college, I can understand why
the need to increase the
enrollment exists. It is difficult
to decide whether the
sophomores should be tripled
because the juniors have a
higher status or whether the
juniors should be tripled to
encourage the upperclassmen
to move off campus . One thing
is for sure, and that is the result
will cause more movement off
campus.

¦ ¦
wmmmmmmm ^"*
¦'**** in'i*»«ei«BeaeHesaeBB«eiBi n i i»f*. .',- ,»./»,

Rose Coats (Soph.) - Absolutely
ridiculous. Juniors should have
fi rst priority ; since they've
been here longer.

' ¦ .

Kisvin Mahoney (Soph.) - I'm
totally against the idea ! I was
tripled during my freshman
year and I won't do it again. But
if you are tripled, you should get
a deduction in your room fee. If
I found out that I was tripled I
would move off campus.

Jim Menapace (Fr.) -1 feel it is
a good idea, because right now
freshmen don 't have a choice
one way or the other about the
room situation . Juniors do have
this choice, so they should have
the imposition of being tripled.

Maureen Lavelle (Fr. ) - No,
because the majority of juniors
at B.S.C. move off campus
anyway. But those jun iors who
plan to stay should have the
option , based on seniority, not to
be tripled.

Terry KI OIII I UUIH (Soph,) -1 see
nothing wrong with It n« long an
the people involved haven 't
been tripled before. I also think
they should have a lower
housing fee to pay.

If y ou're concerned, then write a letter!
Dear Congressman:
I am sure you know the great
danger that has arisen out of
Governor Shapp 's proposed
1977-78 Budget. The Governor
has placed a large dent in the
appropriations for our 14 stateowned colleges.
As you well know , the
Governor has asked for 5.7 per
cent increase over last year 's
appropriations which is well
under the needed 12 per cent
increase. It has been forecasted
that in the future, enrollnients
will decline and with Mr.
Shapp's proposed $50 increase
in tuition , it will prove
detrimental
to
future
enrollments and to educational
institutions on the whole. Please
support an appropriation of $190
million to state colleges and put
good money to good use.

"A bomb will go off in Sutliff Hall at approximately 2:30. You
did very well in evacuating last week. " Called into the Business Department office at about 11:40 a.m., Tuesday morning, an anonymous
phone caller dissrupted afternoon classes in Sutliff Hall for the
second time in as many weeks.
After the call was received, Carol Avillino, the department secretary, notified chairman Neil Hilgar who contacted Frank Davis,
Assistant Vice-President for Academic Affairs. Davis then called
the State Police who immediately sent an officer to the scene.
The building was evacuated cancelling 12:30 classes and rescheduling those regularly held at 2 p.m.
According to Davis, the State Police are tracking down several
leads at this time, but the only concrete evidence they have is that
the caller was female.

New parking

Enrollment declining?

relatively stable population
growth .

by JACK FURNISS
Should we prepare to attract
new types of students? Should
we concentrate on more out of
state recruiting efforts ? These
were some of the , questions
directed to the group in attendance at the Planning
Commission Luncheon held
Tuesday afternoon in Dining
Room D of the Scranton
Commons.

Starting Monday, March 21 , 1977 students will no longer be permitted to park in the
gravel area next to the grass around the library and by the walkway. However , there
will be another row added on the gravel area which will be for students.

Mr. Glen Lang, Admission
Counselor, added information
form his area involving new
trends in college attendance. He
pointed out.the fact that there is
a new trend toward the twoyear , community college
programs as opposed to the
four-year form of study. Mr.
Lang also emphasized the
highly competive - enrollment
ranee among colleges. He informed the group that there is
an influx of enticements, such
as monetary .rebates and
colorful prizes, instigated by
admission offices across the
state to encourage high school
grads to attend their colleges.
Mr. Long concluded by saying
that BSC is doing well in
enrollment compared to the
other 14 sta te colleges but that
there is going to have to be a
decided expansion in recruitment efforts to cope with the
upcoming need for student
enrollment.

The informal discussion
centered around the problem of
c o l l e g e - ag e
d e c l i n in g
enrollments. There were four
guest speakers present to offer
differing implications of the
problem in an attempt to come
to grips with the total picture
and to uncover possible
solutions.
Dr. Joanne Growney, Acting
Director of Institutional
Planning, opened up the
discussion with some relevant
statistics. She stated that by
1990, it is projected there will be
a 30 percent drop in the collegeage population . Dr. Growney
feels that BSC must look to
different types of prospective
students and cited the older
population as a feasible
example , considering its

BSC goes Latin in the f all

^

by JAY JONES
It looks as if BSC is going
Latin this fall . After 35 years of
students doing without this most
basic of all languages, the
Foreign Language Department
is finally going to off er Latin 101
this September.
Probably the response of
most students to this will be
"Why bother?" or "Latin is a
dead language so who cares?" .
They really can't be blamed for
that attitude because over the
years some academic institutions have moved away
from the teaching of Latin and
concentrated on the more or
less
traditional
foreign
languages of French, German
and Spanish with an occasional
Russian or Italian course
thrown in. Now, however, all
that is changing and not only

here at BSC but nationwide as
well. While many of the larger
colleges and universities have
considered Latin to be one of the
staples of their foreign
language sections, many other
schools never really bothered
much with it. But recently a
move has been afoot to return
this course to the list of foreign
languages offered at colleges
across the nation and now the
movement has hit BSC.
According to Dr. Eric
Smithner, a knowledge of Latin
is important "to get a sense of
the etymological source" of the
words we use and read today.
Latin is not a "dead" language
at all but rather one that is very
much alive. It's alive within the
words we read and spea k, many
of the literary works English
maj ors must read, the scientific

by EILEEN CALLAHAN
Over 500 admissions candidates were urged by Dr.
James McCormick last week to
look critically at what BSC has
to offer — to consider its
academic programs, facilities
arid reputation.
The president told the visitors
that they should evaluate the
programs on their own terms,
and be realistic and reasonable
in choosing any college.
"The state colleges are
committed to quality education
at a reasonable cost," he said.
McCormick
feels
that
Bloomsburg has a high quality
academic program because the
administration is concerned
about maintaining standards.
The president alluded to the
growth of the campus itself , as
well as the growth of BSC from
a state teachers college to the
highly respected , multipurpose
institution it is today, as a mark
of its quality.
In 1960 BSC became a
multipurpose institution.

Today, undergraduates are
divided almost evenly between
the School of Arts and Sciences,
School of Business and the
School of Professional Studies.
There are now 48 areas of study,
and a few graduate programs,
as well as a department of
continuing education .
McCormick feels that, at 6,000
strong, BSC is at an ideal size.
"Big enough to be efficient and
to be able to offer a diversity of
programs and specialties ;
small enough so that the
students can know the system."
Also cited during his informational speech was the
high rate of job placement of
Bloomsburg graduates. "Even
in the tight job market, last
year we had a placement of 6570 percent of our teaching
graduates."
McCormick said that while
there has been a growing
diversification of areas of
study, minimizing the numbers
of students in various areas, it

jargon Biology and Chemistry
majors use (and will use)
everyday, the philosophy many
college students read and the
Romance languages (Portugese, Romanian , french and
Spanish) are loaded with Latin
derived words. Most people
simply don't realize the extent
of the Latin language 's influence. Words must stem from
somewhere and a lot of them,
especially the "important"
words, come from Latin . It's not'
at all uncommon for three
English words to originate from
only one Latin word.
There are several reasons
why Latin should be considered
as part of a student's total
education . For one , a
knowledge of Latin can be an
excellent aid in learning correct
word usage and proper spelling,
a condition that is getting

McCormick promotes BSC

has not been detrimental to
Bloomsburg 's reputation.
"While we put out fewer
teachers now," he explained,
"we feel that they are better
qualified than ever before."
He also pointed put that
academic programs are constantly being evaluated and are
accredited.
Throughout his speech ,
McCormick emphasized the
breadth of academic programs,
and "the most important factor
—¦ the faculty and staff,
"Because of the substantial
investment of citizens of the
commonwealth, we are able to
be competitive in hiring high
quality instructors for BSC."
McCormick completed his
address by urging the admission candidates to get out
and talk to students and faculty,
to get other opinions about the
school . "Having come up
through tho state college
system myself , I may be a little
biased." he said.

progressively worse among
college students every year .
Because accurate spelling and
communication is so important
in the business world an
acquaintance with Latin could
be invaluable to Business
majors.
Latin study can be an excellent beginning for people who
have never really studied any
other language. Because it
opens the way to learning the
structures and linguistics of the
Western languages and , again,
leads to a better understanding
of the words used in today's
world.
Is anyone out there considering becoming a language
instructor , possibly on the
college level? Then you should
know that the demand for instructors versed in the Classic
languages (such as Latin and
Greek) is getting much greater
all the time. This is because
schools are beginning to stress
more and more the traditional
studies of Math , Science and the
Languages including, of course,
Latin.
"Writing and teaching
English
without
some
background in Latin", says Dr.
Smithner, "is like trying to
compose
music
without
knowing piano", so all English
majors should strongly consider
taking this course in Latin.
The course itself will
demonstrate the framework of
the Latin language and students
will be reading short pieces of
Latin as well as creating their
own sentences using all the
rules of syntax (rules we are
still using today). The text for
the course will be Latin For

not Latin 101 will be followed by

Mr. Burel Gum , Acting Dean
of Extended Programs, encouraged the group to consider
new student markets and
develop new programs instead
of waiting for our competition to
take the initiative . He mentioned a possible senior citizen
program as a case in point. With
the decline in the birth rate
there will be a comparatively
larger senior citizen group that
could provide jobs for a lot of
young people. A four-year
program could be instituted to
train people to c are and work
with people of this group to
enable them to be a more
functionable part of the society .
Mr. Gum said efforts of this
nature must be investigated to
open up new markets at BSC.
Mr. Boyd Buckingham , Vice
President for Administration,
presented the financial implications of the decline in
college-age enrollments. With
the advent of the decline he
feels that there will be cause for
alarm unless we can receive
some form fo federal money.
Mr. Buckingham reiterated
the fact tha t we have improved
considerably according to the
proposed Governor 's budget but
that the Department of
Education has the final say in
the ultimate division of the
funds.
Mr. Melvyn Woodward ,
Planning Commission Chairperson , encourages
any
possible solution to this manysided problem. The planning
commission feels that these
open discussions are worthwhile and plans to schedule
more programs with regard to
other phases of planning. All
are welcome to share their
views and discuss the future of
Bloomsburg State College.

Howell discusses
equal education

by KIM DILLIPLANE
"The quality of education at the end of the bus ride," was the
major point made by Wendell Howell Friday in Kehr Union coffeehouse. Mr. Howell was one of many speakers sponsored by the
Third World Cultural Societyiast week.
Jesse Bryan, Center for Academic Development, introduced Mr.
Howell, co-author of School Desegregation, who spoke to students
and faculty about the equal education and desegration of blacks in
the public schools today.
He said that blacks should reflect on their position in education
and whites should understand this position. He gave a historical
outlook as well as hopes for the future as far as blacks in education.
"We are in a crisis today in education," said Mr. Howell. He
went on to make references to high school students who graduate
without reading or writing abilities, supporting his statement with
such statistics as, "85 percent of Harlem school children are two
years behind in reading," said Howell.
"Education, historically, has beenviewed as an agency for change,
yet for minorities it has represented the burning of books and beating of children in the south." said Howell. Minority children were
taught to control their aspirationsat the same time they weretaught
f reedom.
Education was traditionally provided by either those who desired
better labor workers, sympathetic whites or travelling missionaries.
The blacks* of the South were taught to "expect little and settle
for virtually nothing, '' according to Howell.
The speaker made various references to court cases throughout
history such as the-Brown vs. Board of Education case in 1954. A
7-year-old girl was bussed to a dilapidated black school five miles
away yet there were white schools in her neighborhood. Howell
pointed out that by 1973 two billion dollars was being spent annually
to bus students to school.
He predicted that it is inevitable that in the next five or ten years,
desegregation will occur in every metropolitan area. He continued
to say that it is impossible to have sepera te and equal facilities.
Howell concluded by stressing that the future of desegregation
depends on the kinds of leadership coming from college students
today.
Presently employed by Delaware Technical and Community College in Wilmington, Howell also is president of the Wilmington School
Board, on the Board of Managers of Wilmington Free Library member of the Jaycees and has various publications to his credit.

Tina O'Hora became the first
"All American " Woman 's
Swimmer for BSC at the Small
College Nationals last weekend.
This meet marked the end of
this year's season for the girls
as they wound up with a 6 win, 4
loss season.
Although the team didn't
place well at the meet, each girl
swam "their all-time best." The
relay teams had fantastic times
and Pat Seither surprised even
herself by diving well enough to
advance to the semi-finals.
Small College Nationals invited all those colleges with
3500 women students or less to
the competition. In light of this,
schools such as Yale, Fordham
and Harvard had entries.
Bloomsburg held up well
against these strong teams.

this season. "Of course these
girls are really going to be
missed," said Coach Gardner,
"they 're a good group of girls,
and we wish them well."
Gardner felt "this year was
the best and most successful
we've ever had. The girls were
tremendous, hard working and
very spirited."
Even though the season was
long, and the girls sacrificed a
lot of their free time to make the
team stronger, obviously the
sacrifice paid off , for the girls
bought all but two team
records.
"Next year's season looks
really good," said Gardner.
"There is a lot of new talent
coming up. We'll be looking
forward to going a long way, but
for now I need a rest."

to be the fastest running game
around. The constant motion
requires concentration and
understanding between the
twelve members on the team.
When watching a game played
right, anyone can see why the
game is fast growing in
popularity .
In fact , with the help of Dr.
Bautz. LaCrosse has gone from
a club game to a varsity sport
only in three years. This season
there are four games. Millersville is the only home game,
but next year, plans have been
made to incorporate more
games to the schedule.
Along with
the nine
newcomers who are learning
fast, there are fifteen returning
members and seven freshmen
with lots of talent, Ellie Hatch

This spring marks the first
LaCrosse season in BSC history.
Under the coaching of Mrs.
Rost, thirty-one women will try
to make this first varsity
LaCrosse season a profitable
one.
Although this is only the birth
of LaCrosse at BSC the game
has been around for close to
three centuries. Originally,
LaCrosse was an Indian game
called "baggataway ". Soon
after Pierre de Charlevoix first
saw the game played, he introduced it to Canadian sportsmen and LaCrosse became
their national sport. From
Canada , LaCrosse came to
America in the men's fashion..
Yet women's LaCrosse went
from Canada to England to
America.
Actually there is very little
similarity between men's and
women's LaCrosse. Both games
are played with a Crosse and a
hard rubber ball and that is as
far as the similarity goes.
Women's LaCrosse has not field
boundaries and no real rules
(other than safety). The players
wear no protective equipment'
except for the goalie, and the
Crosses are a smaller size than
men's.
Women's LaCrosse is a game
of grace and agility. Each
