Rep . Assembly
Student apathy abounds
by JIM PEFFLEY
The student grievence
committee and budget planning
were two main topics discussed
at a recent meeting of the
Representative Assembly last
Thursday. Student attendance
dropped from the previous
meeting which caused some
concern from the Assembly.
Four out of 37 student
members were at the meeting
to voice their opinions on a
student-oriented subject — the
grievance committee. John H.
Couch, assistant professor of
Music, presented a proposed
policy for the new committee.
Instead of the former six
grievance committees, two new
ones have been formed by
combining the six. One, dealing
with student discrimination —
especially racial and sexual —
will be headed by Linda
Thomas, psychological counselor . The second, presided by
the student - faculty judicial
board, will be in charge of
academic and administrative
problems.
The committee will consist of
eight principle members and
eight alternates. Four faculty
members and four students will
comprise each group. A major
rule of the committee is that no
evaluation will be decided upon
without a quorum of seven out
of eight members.

Indoor track protests
by ED HAUCK
Dr. Conrad Bautz , Athletic
Director , announced last
Wednesday that three "frill"
sports would be dropped from
being funded by CGA in order to
keep athletics at 34 per cent of
the total budget allocated by the
student government. The teams
of fall tennis , fall baseball and
indoor track were cut from
budget reuqests for the 1977-78
academic year. Of the three
sports that were dropped only
the track team has made a
formal protest to Dr. Bautz for
the necessity of indoor track.
was that he had asked all
coaches for a justification of
their sport for budgetary
purposes. With this in mind Dr.
Bautz also added that a vote
was taken from some in the
athletic department , because
not all of the coaches voted , and
the statement was that if a
budget crunch were to occur at
BSC the first sports to be cut
financially would be out • oif
season sports, then m-sport
activities.
On Friday, Dr. Bautz met
with the majority of the track
team , at the request of cocaptain 's Steve Rcckefus and
Jim O'Brien, to discuss the
matter and answer some
questions that the track team
had for the Athletic Director .
According to Dr. Bautz and
BSC, the indoor track season
here is not considered a
separate season even though
the NCAA holds national
championships for this sport
annually. Since indoor track is
not a separate season it does not
have a separate budget and is
therefore included in the total
track budget .
Dr. Bautz 's answer to the
question of "why " indoor track
was being cut from the budget
The track team has proposed
to apply for a rc-consideration
of the budget, the co-caplains
will meet with Dr. Griffis on this
subject to ask for permission to
qualify the need for this sport in
relation to regular spring track.
Representatives from the
track team will also be going
before the Athletic Advisory
Board sometime this week.
It was emphasized that the
grievance committee is only a
recommending body. They can
only recommend changes , not
change the problem themselves. The recommendation is
given to the Vice-President of
Academic Affairs.
The Vice-President ^ may
follow through with the
recommendation or inform the
student why it is not possible. If
a grade change is desired , he
may change the grade with the
professor's consent .
"However , it was noted that
the Vice-President may cause
friction with APSCUF over this
decision .
Dean Drake told the assembly
that (only) zero to three complaints of grades are made by
students, so the system, and
APSCUF, will not be radically
affected .
A question was raised pertaining to a court of appeals.
Couch stated that the problem
would be appealed from the
Vice-President to the President.
A motion was made to table
the policy until the next
meeting. The assembly desired
to review the policy further
before voting on it.
Mr. Donald E. Hock, director
of
fiscal
management ,
presented a draft for a new
budget planning document. The
document was simplified and
categorically arranged since
last year. The reason for the
new document, Hock explained,
was to encourage, input from
faculty and administration.
As an example of the simplifying process used, Hock
described
the Academic
department ; instead of using
separate budgets, the following
procedure will be used: each
school will make up their
budget and send them to the
Vice-President who , in turn ,
will combine them into one
single budget . As a result, the
entire school will have eight
budgets, instead of the usual 85
(apprximated).
President McCormick was
concerned by the poor student
attendance , especially since the
main topic of the assembly
concerned students.
The next meeting of the
Representative Assembly is
April 14 at 3:30 p.m. in Kehr
Union multi-purpose room. All
are invited , especially the
student members who were
voted upon to represent the
student body .
WBSC manager resigns
station
Eckrote ,
Rick
manager of BSC's radio station ,
has recently resigned his
position. Eckrote has run the
station since it began operating
t\vo years ago.
He reasoned that after two
year's he has become drained of
ideas and felt that it would be to
the stations advantage if a new
person with new ideas took
over. "The station has not been
progressing as it should ," he
remarked.
Eckrote has been tentativel y
appointed as head of next years
BSCC by CGA president elect,
Joe Surdoval . He plans to sink
as much time as he possibly can
on the committee and foresses
the need to make several
changes.
WBSC is presently in the
midst of a constitution change.
After it has been completed , a
new manager will be elected.
Applications are being accepted
at this time.
Although
E c k r o t e '.s
resignation will be effective as
of the end of the month , he plans
to liclp during the train of. poweri
shift. He felt that by resigning
now, the new manager will be
able to learn the ropes before
the end of this semester and will
not have to start from scratch
come September .

Colston elaborated
on American experience
¦—'""¦P¦l^»Qir\L A J^^Mi
Who cares?
by HOLLY MILLER
"The Black Experience in
America : Updates!" was the
topic discussed by Dr. Marshal
H. Colston, from Robert Maton
Memorial Institute, on Sunday
evening in Kuster auditorium.
Dr. Colston expressed his
disappointment concerning the
attendance (which included a
total of 16 people). However,
this had its advantages ,
allowing him to have an informal discussion with a
question-answer period afterward.
Dr. Colston knew he wanted to
be "the best sociologist" when
he began his college career . His
use of "best was surprising, and
yet it was also impressive
because he implied that- he
would be willing to work for his
success. He is presently the
vice-president in one of the
North Carolina colleges, as well
as one of the directors of Maton
Memorial Institute, which is
connected
with
Drexel
University and the University of
Pennsylvania.
His opening statement of
"This is really not so much a
black experience as and
American experience," was
shocking because one would
Being a freshman, many things about BSC had me puzzled
at first .One of the major puzzlements came when we were
asked to vote for dormitory representatives for CGA . I always wondered what their function was and why I was voting.
Answers soon came as I was presented with the task
of reporting on the Representative Assembly and Coordinating Committee for Academic Affairs. I saw that it was their
task to represent us—the student body—-at these two assemblies.
The shock came when I realized how few' student members were present at these important meetings. For example,
at the last meeting of the Representative Assembl y four
out of 37 students attended. To make matters worse , the
major topic was the student grievance committee which
concerns,primarily, the students. And yet only four members
were present !
Either we made wrong decisions at the elections, or spring
fever is setting in. Of course, the fatter doesn't explain the
poor attendance at December's meeting.
These people asked for our vote and campaigned heavily
in order to be our representatives. I think , by now, it's time
we got our votes worth !

Themes in bla ck
America n literature
by BONNIE EPLETT
"The Black Experience ,"
said Ossie Davis, "is what Ruby
Dee and myself are going to
portray to you tonight." Soon
after Mr. Shanoski of the
Human Relations Department ,
introduced them , everyone who
attended the show on Black
literary history was captivated
for two hours in complete
wonder. There was so much to
learn and so much that was
felt ...
Ruby Dee began the evening
with the "African Literary
Expression ." We were taken to
the time when story-telling was
the job of a lone man who was
required to learn all of the
folklore , and retain the
knowledge in his head. African
folldore is mostly fable. Every
story has meaning and lessons
to live by. Many times the
characters were animals of the
¦K^JimttKiKSSfcV.: '''
I
^
jungle, or people no longer
alive. It didn 't matter who the
characters were, the knowledge
gained was what was important. From the folklore
came many African mores, and
thus the old saying; "This is my
story let it be sweet or not
sweet, take some, and then let it
come back to me" explains how
the lessons of stories are
learned.
Ossie Davis then told a f ew
stories about Black suppression. His emotion was
clearly visible, and his heart
was telling us he cared about
what happened to the Black
culture, and that we ought to
help preserve the heritage that
is so rich to so many.
Mr. Davis began his stories
with the antics of Briar Rabbit ,
the lovable scoundrel who
contstantly outwitted his adversaries. "Br 'er Rabbit is the

story that proves the cleverest
sometimes win over the
strongest," said Mr. Davis. "It
helps to know the suppressed
have a chance... "
Dee and Davis then shared
the stage in a highly entertaining presentation of
Langsten Hughs 's poetry and
prose. Hughs 's philosophy that
"humor is the difference between a man loving and dying "
has given many young blacks
better insight to the solutions of
their plight.
The humor was frank and
honest , the drama was
poignent; the stories were alive,
and so is the black heritage.
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis
proved this as they brought
back tribesmen , slaves, men,
women, and children , to talk to
us up on the stage. They taught,
laughed , cried , screamed
hatred , and love all through the
voices of two people who care.

expect his speech to point
directly toward black problems
only.
Dr. Colston gave credit to
President Carter for at least
dealing with the problem, even
though Dr. Colston believes the
racial problem is still into the
same depth as it was in the
1960's. He also noted, that there
are "more blacks in college,
because there are more people
in college." This issue coincides
with "blacks earning * more
money because everyone is
earning*more money." .
Dr. Colston compared Roots
with Moby Dick in that there is
tfce same message (nature to
man ) under the outer message
of an autobiography.
According to Dr. Colston,
there is a "climate of .indifference and hostility" in
America. "Fifty-two percent of
the whites have opportunities
for college." He added, "most
whites who went to college
before 1970, were either upper
or middle class, but as of 1970,
only nine .per cent of the middle
class and now two to three per
cent of the lower class go to
college." This is reverse for the
blacks.
In passing, he also noted that
"70 per cent of U.S. engineers
graduate from one of the six
southern schools."

Another
statement made by Dr. Colston,
was that "70 per cent of the

U.S., but they are not
graduating. This situation has
not improved in the last 25
years."
—
"Nothing happens accidently
in this society" is considered to
be a true but not a realistic
statement.
Dr. Colston stated that the
"United Nations ruined some of
the best minds in the country. It
is ineffective. "
He also pointed, put that "the
changes are more cosmetic
than real. We are the same-as
we were 20 years ago. Substantial changes seem more
than
general
prominent
changes."
Dr. Colston explained that the
political changes are more
pronounced in the South. He
mentioned how people are
always looking for a rational to
justify their feelings.
On the topic of black
publications, Dr. Colston explained that until recently,
black articles were not accepted, which created the lack
of "firsthand knowledge."
On our open system , our
'leaders' find out which way the
crowd is going, run around, in
front of them and say_ Tm your
leader '," according to the
snickering Dr. Colston.
During the question-answer
period, Dr. Colston was asked
what he would do if he. were
President? His reply was an
emphatic "Change : Because
you get out of government what
you put into it. " One of the
major things he would- do is
have a "symbolic tax of one
cents on every person who
refused to vote."
He describes our system as
"Little Abner-no rhyme or
reason to it ." "Even the system
implies unemployment is a
:
natural thing. "
In essence , Dr. Colston
rejects the system, not only
because 'of the blacks' situation ,
but of the American situation .
He is concerned about
America 's future in all
respects , especially with our
government, since this is where
the major decisions are
suggested, then either thrown
away without a second look or
they are accepted.

Manny wins, Pizzazclose

by ED HAUCK
Maybe his jokes weren't as
good as Chuck Harris', host of
the real Gong Show, but DJ Bob
Stafford , of WHLM got his share
of laughs and snickers last week
as he hosted a take-off of the
Gong Show sponsored by the
Vets Club. The audience, in its
own obnoxious way, helped
judge a tie-breaker for the
winner of the contest by
sounding off for either PIZZAZ
and thier rendition of Linda
Ronstadt's Heat Wave or
Manny Sahtayana who eventually won with an original
ballad about a girl he used to
date here at BSC. Manny 's total
earnings were $52.23 for being
applauded , the winner.
The
show
contained
numerous typed of performers
that either were able to finish
their act or , unfortunately, get
gonged. The judgement of the
gonging was left up to three
superbly chosen gentlemen
from the staff of Bloomsburg
State College, Mr. Ron Puhl,
head football coach and P.E.

April 16th at 10 a.m. The 20 mile
event will start from the
Bloomsburg High School
parking lot.
CARC has set their goal at
$18,000, hoping to make up for

Laura Adolphson, this year's
chairperson, has stated that
"everyone is invited to take
part in helping them reach their
goal."
The proceeds collected, are to
be distributed between the
County and State funds
respectively, with the largest
portion to be donated to Camp
Future, a four-week summer
program in which 40 local
retarded children will be attending.
First, Second and Third place
prizes will be awarded. CGA
and Cole's Hardware have
donated bicycles to be given to
the top-sponsored persons" from
the college and townspeople
entered in the charitable event.
The fraternity or sorority
with the most members involved will receive a special
plaque made by one of the
children who will be competing
in the upcoming Special
Olympics to be held later this
year.
In conjunction with the bike
or hike, WHLM will sponsor a
special program to be held April
1st, 2nd and 3rd for those
wishing to phone in pledges.
Registration forms can be

Genesis, another beginning
by STUART DUNBAR
Genesis-Wind & WutheringAtco Records
With the leaving of their main
man (Peter Gabriel) approximately a year ago, many
people, to my knowledge ,
believed that Genesis would
slowly but surely fold. With
their second album since
Gabriel's departure, the group
now consisting of Phil Collins,
Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford
and Steve Hacket prove that
they will be around longer than
critics believed they would.
Although the theatrics that
Gabrial provided while the lead
singer are gone; A Trick Of The
Tail, and Wind & Wutherlng
show that the four member
band can still write mysterious,
meaningful lyrics and play
together equally as well if not
better than when Gabriel was

A few imitators of famous
people graced the stage with the
likes of Groucho Marx, James
Cagney, Gary Grant, and John
Wayne ,. Of the three impersonators, the C.V.'s own
Duane Long , billed as the
Amazin' Stinkin Oarloff captured the prize of the lowest
point total without being
gonged. His total score was nine
points.
"Gabby" Long and Carol
Owens attained a high point
standing when the act stood to
exit and revealed that "Gabby "
had lost his pants, but his shorts
remained the same.
The act entitled SMOKIN'
JOSE included a medley of
songs from beer, soda, and junk
food commercials,- which
SMOKIN' JOSE said were the
basis of American music today.
(Is it true? You clapped along!>
A discrepancy between the
judges and audience that arose
during the judging of the acts
was when the performance of
Bill Lance, and Gary Nice of
Lamda Chi was overtaken by a
point. The boys mimed and
danced an imaginary car wash
to the tune of you-lcnow-what.
Gary Nice drove his car in and
Bill Lance washed it as he
danced the part of a robot. The
crowd, to show • its feeling,
began clapping "Car Wash"
between acts and calling for a
re-count. The futility of the
audience participation was
apparent when the total points
were scored at the end and they
came up a point short.

pleased to sponsor a show that

To try to explain what the
lyrics on either side meant
would be a waste of my time, for
to actually get meaning from
any Genesis album invloves
sitting down , relaxing, and
listening to them with your ears
wide open to catch every word,
even then you may not understand its meaning. Neither
the music or the lyrics that
Genesis writes are footstomping or kneeslapping." But
unlike any group I've ever
listened to they write the best
lyrics .. and
musical
arrangements I've ever heard.
Just looking over the titles of
the songs included on this
album one sees that they are not
a regular run-of-the-mill band ,
with loud electrified music with
drum
crashing endings.

For The Vine ", "Wot Gorilla?",
"All In A Mouses Night" and
"Blood On The Rooftops ", are
just a few examples of some of
their song titles and to me they
are extraordinarily different
from say Aerosmith, Frampton
or even Blue Oyster Cult. .
Although "Your Own Special
Way " is receiving the most
radio play from Wind & Wurthering, another equally well
done cut is "All In A Mouses
Night" which is a three
character story between a
loving couple, a mouse, and a
cat , and the roles they play in
trying to kill the mouse, but in
the end having the cat killed
instead. Is this what it is really
about? Actually all the songs
are short stories with the exception of "Wot Gorilla?" ,
which is strictly all instrumental.
JLhave heard from various
¦people that Wl«d & Wutherlng is
"fleabag music", ideas that arc
only talked about in opium dens,
or sounds like it is in slow
motion , but you'll have to
decide that for yourself. If you
do purchase this album , I advise you not to play it once and
•say it is lousy, because many of
their albums appear this way to
the unaccustomed Genesis fan .

began on March 17.
Coach Burt' Reese will have
his youngest team in many
years with four freshmen and
two juniors in the top six.
However , experience-wise ,
many of these players are
seasoned veterans being either
ranked players in the middle
states or central Pennsylvania
with several summers of
tournament play behind them.
This past fall the team was 5-0
in dual matches with wins over
Lehigh, Mansfield, Bucknell,
Scranton , and West Chester , it
finished sixth in the ECAC
tourney, and fourth in the
Bloomsburg Invitational.
The top six, along with their

No. 4 — Rick Willders, freshman, Blue Ball (%-f%( : No. 5
—- Mark Raynes, freshman,
Palmyra (3-6) ; and No. 6 — Bill
Lance, junior , Harrisburg (0-$.
The spring promises to be
very challenging with many
outstanding teams dotting the
schedule. The southern trip
includes
Navy, Virginia
Military Institute , and Richmond , three good Division I
schools. Other Division I
schools the squad will compete
against are the strong Nittany
Lions of Penn State, defending
East
Coast

Wrestlers wiped out in nationals
by CRAIG WINTERS
"The tournament proved to
be an invaluable experience to
our wrestlers and they now
lmow what it takes to be an
NCAA champion." Such was the
remark of Husky wrestling
coach Roger Sanders in regard
to last weekends NCAA Division
I wrestling tourney held in
Norman , Oklahoma. Despite
the fact that none of the five
Huskies in the tournament
achieved the coveted AilAmerican status , Sanders
added that his young grapplers
battled hard despite the early
losses and that they should be
proud to be included in a
tourney that featured the top 35
wrestlers in the country. One
major plus for the squad was
that heavyweight Tino DiMarco
Optimistic outlook
for women's track
by HOLLY MILLER
The Women 's Track team is
currently two weeks into their
season with optimism expressed by both Head Coach ,
Carl Hinkle and Assistant
Coach , Sally Cobrain.
Cobrain enjoys working with
the women because "they work
hard and encourage me, since
all the techniques of track and
field are not familiar to me ".
She adds, "most of the credit
should be given to the women
for their dedication ".
According to Hinkle , "it is
difficult to tell at this point how
well the Women are doing. Right
now, the women are beginning
to familiarize themselves with
the events".
Both coaches are happy with
the attitude between the men
and women and the sharing of
the expertise in their , areas.
Hinkle would like to build , the
team spirit by working together
and "not looking any further
yet".
As of now Hinkle believes
the women have "indications of
good potential , but to really
know for sure, they must be

recorded the first Husky NCAA
Division I team points with a
first round whitewash over Earl
Johnson of Eastern Michigan
University. DiMarco bested
Johnson by a 5-0 count.
However, the sophomore was
elimianted in the next round by
an identical 5-0 blanking:
Other Huskies qualifying for
the tournament were Tom Fink
(126 ) , Carl Poff (134) , Buclcy
McCollum (142) , Eastern
League wrestling champ Chris
Poff (150) and Andy Capelli
( 167).
Sanders was also particularly
impressed with the effort put
forth by Tom Fink. Despite
losing both of his matches, Fink

Hinkle expressed his distaste
about the probable elimination
of the indoor track season . He
believes there is "no just
cause " for it , and considers this
to be "reversed discrimination .
There must -be other alternatives", stresses Hinkle.
Hopefully, no matter what the
decision is about the indoor B
track season , both the men and I
the women will continue with I
the goals they had set for 1
themselves in the beginning of
the season and continue with

their noted performances .

Rep . Assembly
Student apathy abounds
by JIM PEFFLEY
The student grievence
committee and budget planning
were two main topics discussed
at a recent meeting of the
Representative Assembly last
Thursday. Student attendance
dropped from the previous
meeting which caused some
concern from the Assembly.
Four out of 37 student
members were at the meeting
to voice their opinions on a
student-oriented subject — the
grievance committee. John H.
Couch, assistant professor of
Music, presented a proposed
policy for the new committee.
Instead of the former six
grievance committees, two new
ones have been formed by
combining the six. One, dealing
with student discrimination —
especially racial and sexual —
will be headed by Linda
Thomas, psychological counselor . The second, presided by
the student - faculty judicial
board, will be in charge of
academic and administrative
problems.
The committee will consist of
eight principle members and
eight alternates. Four faculty
members and four students will
comprise each group. A major
rule of the committee is that no
evaluation will be decided upon
without a quorum of seven out
of eight members.

Indoor track protests
by ED HAUCK
Dr. Conrad Bautz , Athletic
Director , announced last
Wednesday that three "frill"
sports would be dropped from
being funded by CGA in order to
keep athletics at 34 per cent of
the total budget allocated by the
student government. The teams
of fall tennis , fall baseball and
indoor track were cut from
budget reuqests for the 1977-78
academic year. Of the three
sports that were dropped only
the track team has made a
formal protest to Dr. Bautz for
the necessity of indoor track.
was that he had asked all
coaches for a justification of
their sport for budgetary
purposes. With this in mind Dr.
Bautz also added that a vote
was taken from some in the
athletic department , because
not all of the coaches voted , and
the statement was that if a
budget crunch were to occur at
BSC the first sports to be cut
financially would be out • oif
season sports, then m-sport
activities.
On Friday, Dr. Bautz met
with the majority of the track
team , at the request of cocaptain 's Steve Rcckefus and
Jim O'Brien, to discuss the
matter and answer some
questions that the track team
had for the Athletic Director .
According to Dr. Bautz and
BSC, the indoor track season
here is not considered a
separate season even though
the NCAA holds national
championships for this sport
annually. Since indoor track is
not a separate season it does not
have a separate budget and is
therefore included in the total
track budget .
Dr. Bautz 's answer to the
question of "why " indoor track
was being cut from the budget
The track team has proposed
to apply for a rc-consideration
of the budget, the co-caplains
will meet with Dr. Griffis on this
subject to ask for permission to
qualify the need for this sport in
relation to regular spring track.
Representatives from the
track team will also be going
before the Athletic Advisory
Board sometime this week.
It was emphasized that the
grievance committee is only a
recommending body. They can
only recommend changes , not
change the problem themselves. The recommendation is
given to the Vice-President of
Academic Affairs.
The Vice-President ^ may
follow through with the
recommendation or inform the
student why it is not possible. If
a grade change is desired , he
may change the grade with the
professor's consent .
"However , it was noted that
the Vice-President may cause
friction with APSCUF over this
decision .
Dean Drake told the assembly
that (only) zero to three complaints of grades are made by
students, so the system, and
APSCUF, will not be radically
affected .
A question was raised pertaining to a court of appeals.
Couch stated that the problem
would be appealed from the
Vice-President to the President.
A motion was made to table
the policy until the next
meeting. The assembly desired
to review the policy further
before voting on it.
Mr. Donald E. Hock, director
of
fiscal
management ,
presented a draft for a new
budget planning document. The
document was simplified and
categorically arranged since
last year. The reason for the
new document, Hock explained,
was to encourage, input from
faculty and administration.
As an example of the simplifying process used, Hock
described
the Academic
department ; instead of using
separate budgets, the following
procedure will be used: each
school will make up their
budget and send them to the
Vice-President who , in turn ,
will combine them into one
single budget . As a result, the
entire school will have eight
budgets, instead of the usual 85
(apprximated).
President McCormick was
concerned by the poor student
attendance , especially since the
main topic of the assembly
concerned students.
The next meeting of the
Representative Assembly is
April 14 at 3:30 p.m. in Kehr
Union multi-purpose room. All
are invited , especially the
student members who were
voted upon to represent the
student body .
WBSC manager resigns
station
Eckrote ,
Rick
manager of BSC's radio station ,
has recently resigned his
position. Eckrote has run the
station since it began operating
t\vo years ago.
He reasoned that after two
year's he has become drained of
ideas and felt that it would be to
the stations advantage if a new
person with new ideas took
over. "The station has not been
progressing as it should ," he
remarked.
Eckrote has been tentativel y
appointed as head of next years
BSCC by CGA president elect,
Joe Surdoval . He plans to sink
as much time as he possibly can
on the committee and foresses
the need to make several
changes.
WBSC is presently in the
midst of a constitution change.
After it has been completed , a
new manager will be elected.
Applications are being accepted
at this time.
Although
E c k r o t e '.s
resignation will be effective as
of the end of the month , he plans
to liclp during the train of. poweri
shift. He felt that by resigning
now, the new manager will be
able to learn the ropes before
the end of this semester and will
not have to start from scratch
come September .

Colston elaborated
on American experience
¦—'""¦P¦l^»Qir\L A J^^Mi
Who cares?
by HOLLY MILLER
"The Black Experience in
America : Updates!" was the
topic discussed by Dr. Marshal
H. Colston, from Robert Maton
Memorial Institute, on Sunday
evening in Kuster auditorium.
Dr. Colston expressed his
disappointment concerning the
attendance (which included a
total of 16 people). However,
this had its advantages ,
allowing him to have an informal discussion with a
question-answer period afterward.
Dr. Colston knew he wanted to
be "the best sociologist" when
he began his college career . His
use of "best was surprising, and
yet it was also impressive
because he implied that- he
would be willing to work for his
success. He is presently the
vice-president in one of the
North Carolina colleges, as well
as one of the directors of Maton
Memorial Institute, which is
connected
with
Drexel
University and the University of
Pennsylvania.
His opening statement of
"This is really not so much a
black experience as and
American experience," was
shocking because one would
Being a freshman, many things about BSC had me puzzled
at first .One of the major puzzlements came when we were
asked to vote for dormitory representatives for CGA . I always wondered what their function was and why I was voting.
Answers soon came as I was presented with the task
of reporting on the Representative Assembly and Coordinating Committee for Academic Affairs. I saw that it was their
task to represent us—the student body—-at these two assemblies.
The shock came when I realized how few' student members were present at these important meetings. For example,
at the last meeting of the Representative Assembl y four
out of 37 students attended. To make matters worse , the
major topic was the student grievance committee which
concerns,primarily, the students. And yet only four members
were present !
Either we made wrong decisions at the elections, or spring
fever is setting in. Of course, the fatter doesn't explain the
poor attendance at December's meeting.
These people asked for our vote and campaigned heavily
in order to be our representatives. I think , by now, it's time
we got our votes worth !

Themes in bla ck
America n literature
by BONNIE EPLETT
"The Black Experience ,"
said Ossie Davis, "is what Ruby
Dee and myself are going to
portray to you tonight." Soon
after Mr. Shanoski of the
Human Relations Department ,
introduced them , everyone who
attended the show on Black
literary history was captivated
for two hours in complete
wonder. There was so much to
learn and so much that was
felt ...
Ruby Dee began the evening
with the "African Literary
Expression ." We were taken to
the time when story-telling was
the job of a lone man who was
required to learn all of the
folklore , and retain the
knowledge in his head. African
folldore is mostly fable. Every
story has meaning and lessons
to live by. Many times the
characters were animals of the
¦K^JimttKiKSSfcV.: '''

^
jungle, or people no longer
alive. It didn 't matter who the
characters were, the knowledge
gained was what was important. From the folklore
came many African mores, and
thus the old saying; "This is my
story let it be sweet or not
sweet, take some, and then let it
come back to me" explains how
the lessons of stories are
learned.
Ossie Davis then told a f ew
stories about Black suppression. His emotion was
clearly visible, and his heart
was telling us he cared about
what happened to the Black
culture, and that we ought to
help preserve the heritage that
is so rich to so many.
Mr. Davis began his stories
with the antics of Briar Rabbit ,
the lovable scoundrel who
contstantly outwitted his adversaries. "Br 'er Rabbit is the

story that proves the cleverest
sometimes win over the
strongest," said Mr. Davis. "It
helps to know the suppressed
have a chance... "
Dee and Davis then shared
the stage in a highly entertaining presentation of
Langsten Hughs 's poetry and
prose. Hughs 's philosophy that
"humor is the difference between a man loving and dying "
has given many young blacks
better insight to the solutions of
their plight.
The humor was frank and
honest , the drama was
poignent; the stories were alive,
and so is the black heritage.
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis
proved this as they brought
back tribesmen , slaves, men,
women, and children , to talk to
us up on the stage. They taught,
laughed , cried , screamed
hatred , and love all through the
voices of two people who care.

expect his speech to point
directly toward black problems
only.
Dr. Colston gave credit to
President Carter for at least
dealing with the problem, even
though Dr. Colston believes the
racial problem is still into the
same depth as it was in the
1960's. He also noted, that there
are "more blacks in college,
because there are more people
in college." This issue coincides
with "blacks earning * more
money because everyone is
earning*more money." .
Dr. Colston compared Roots
with Moby Dick in that there is
tfce same message (nature to
man ) under the outer message
of an autobiography.
According to Dr. Colston,
there is a "climate of .indifference and hostility" in
America. "Fifty-two percent of
the whites have opportunities
for college." He added, "most
whites who went to college
before 1970, were either upper
or middle class, but as of 1970,
only nine .per cent of the middle
class and now two to three per
cent of the lower class go to
college." This is reverse for the
blacks.
In passing, he also noted that
"70 per cent of U.S. engineers
graduate from one of the six
southern schools."

Another
statement made by Dr. Colston,
was that "70 per cent of the
blacks earning BA's come from
the South, and that there is a

tending . schools in northern
U.S., but they are not
graduating. This situation has
not improved in the last 25
years."
—
"Nothing happens accidently
in this society" is considered to
be a true but not a realistic
statement.
Dr. Colston stated that the
"United Nations ruined some of
the best minds in the country. It
is ineffective. "
He also pointed, put that "the
changes are more cosmetic
than real. We are the same-as
we were 20 years ago. Substantial changes seem more
than
general
prominent
changes."
Dr. Colston explained that the
political changes are more
pronounced in the South. He
mentioned how people are
always looking for a rational to
justify their feelings.
On the topic of black
publications, Dr. Colston explained that until recently,
black articles were not accepted, which created the lack
of "firsthand knowledge."
On our open system , our
'leaders' find out which way the
crowd is going, run around, in
front of them and say_ Tm your
leader '," according to the
snickering Dr. Colston.
During the question-answer
period, Dr. Colston was asked
what he would do if he. were
President? His reply was an
emphatic "Change : Because
you get out of government what
you put into it. " One of the
major things he would- do is
have a "symbolic tax of one
cents on every person who
refused to vote."
He describes our system as
"Little Abner-no rhyme or
reason to it ." "Even the system
implies unemployment is a
:
natural thing. "
In essence , Dr. Colston
rejects the system, not only
because 'of the blacks' situation ,
but of the American situation .
He is concerned about
America 's future in all
respects , especially with our
government, since this is where
the major decisions are
suggested, then either thrown
away without a second look or
they are accepted.

Manny wins, Pizzazclose
car washwas thef a v o r i t e
by ED HAUCK
Maybe his jokes weren't as
good as Chuck Harris', host of
the real Gong Show, but DJ Bob
Stafford , of WHLM got his share
of laughs and snickers last week
as he hosted a take-off of the
Gong Show sponsored by the
Vets Club. The audience, in its
own obnoxious way, helped
judge a tie-breaker for the
winner of the contest by
sounding off for either PIZZAZ
and thier rendition of Linda
Ronstadt's Heat Wave or
Manny Sahtayana who eventually won with an original
ballad about a girl he used to
date here at BSC. Manny 's total
earnings were $52.23 for being
applauded , the winner.
The
show
contained
numerous typed of performers
that either were able to finish
their act or , unfortunately, get
gonged. The judgement of the
gonging was left up to three
superbly chosen gentlemen
from the staff of Bloomsburg
State College, Mr. Ron Puhl,
head football coach and P.E.

Genesis, another beginning
by STUART DUNBAR
Genesis-Wind & WutheringAtco Records
With the leaving of their main
man (Peter Gabriel) approximately a year ago, many
people, to my knowledge ,
believed that Genesis would
slowly but surely fold. With
their second album since
Gabriel's departure, the group
now consisting of Phil Collins,
Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford
and Steve Hacket prove that
they will be around longer than
critics believed they would.
Although the theatrics that
Gabrial provided while the lead
singer are gone; A Trick Of The
Tail, and Wind & Wutherlng
show that the four member
band can still write mysterious,
meaningful lyrics and play
together equally as well if not
better than when Gabriel was

the gong rather delightfully .
A few imitators of famous
people graced the stage with the
likes of Groucho Marx, James
Cagney, Gary Grant, and John
Wayne ,. Of the three impersonators, the C.V.'s own
Duane Long , billed as the
Amazin' Stinkin Oarloff captured the prize of the lowest
point total without being
gonged. His total score was nine
points.
"Gabby" Long and Carol
Owens attained a high point
standing when the act stood to
exit and revealed that "Gabby "
had lost his pants, but his shorts
remained the same.
The act entitled SMOKIN'
JOSE included a medley of
songs from beer, soda, and junk
food commercials,- which
SMOKIN' JOSE said were the
basis of American music today.
(Is it true? You clapped along!>
A discrepancy between the
judges and audience that arose
during the judging of the acts
was when the performance of
Bill Lance, and Gary Nice of
Lamda Chi was overtaken by a
point. The boys mimed and
danced an imaginary car wash
to the tune of you-lcnow-what.
Gary Nice drove his car in and
Bill Lance washed it as he
danced the part of a robot. The
crowd, to show • its feeling,
began clapping "Car Wash"
between acts and calling for a
re-count. The futility of the
audience participation was
apparent when the total points
were scored at the end and they
came up a point short.
The Vets Club were very
pleased to sponsor a show that
filled just about every seat in

part of the show.
To try to explain what the
lyrics on either side meant
would be a waste of my time, for
to actually get meaning from
any Genesis album invloves
sitting down , relaxing, and
listening to them with your ears
wide open to catch every word,
even then you may not understand its meaning. Neither
the music or the lyrics that
Genesis writes are footstomping or kneeslapping." But
unlike any group I've ever
listened to they write the best
lyrics .. and
musical
arrangements I've ever heard.
Just looking over the titles of
the songs included on this
album one sees that they are not
a regular run-of-the-mill band ,
with loud electrified music with
drum
crashing endings.

For The Vine ", "Wot Gorilla?",
"All In A Mouses Night" and
"Blood On The Rooftops ", are
just a few examples of some of
their song titles and to me they
are extraordinarily different
from say Aerosmith, Frampton
or even Blue Oyster Cult. .
Although "Your Own Special
Way " is receiving the most
radio play from Wind & Wurthering, another equally well
done cut is "All In A Mouses
Night" which is a three
character story between a
loving couple, a mouse, and a
cat , and the roles they play in
trying to kill the mouse, but in
the end having the cat killed
instead. Is this what it is really
about? Actually all the songs
are short stories with the exception of "Wot Gorilla?" ,
which is strictly all instrumental.
JLhave heard from various
¦people that Wl«d & Wutherlng is
"fleabag music", ideas that arc
only talked about in opium dens,
or sounds like it is in slow
motion , but you'll have to
decide that for yourself. If you
do purchase this album , I advise you not to play it once and
•say it is lousy, because many of
their albums appear this way to
the unaccustomed Genesis fan .

Wrestlers wiped out in nationals
by CRAIG WINTERS
"The tournament proved to
be an invaluable experience to
our wrestlers and they now
lmow what it takes to be an
NCAA champion." Such was the
remark of Husky wrestling
coach Roger Sanders in regard
to last weekends NCAA Division
I wrestling tourney held in
Norman , Oklahoma. Despite
the fact that none of the five
Huskies in the tournament
achieved the coveted AilAmerican status , Sanders
added that his young grapplers
battled hard despite the early
losses and that they should be
proud to be included in a
tourney that featured the top 35
wrestlers in the country. One
major plus for the squad was
that heavyweight Tino DiMarco
Optimistic outlook
for women's track
by HOLLY MILLER
The Women 's Track team is
currently two weeks into their
season with optimism expressed by both Head Coach ,
Carl Hinkle and Assistant
Coach , Sally Cobrain.
Cobrain enjoys working with
the women because "they work
hard and encourage me, since
all the techniques of track and
field are not familiar to me ".
She adds, "most of the credit
should be given to the women
for their dedication ".
According to Hinkle , "it is
difficult to tell at this point how
well the Women are doing. Right
now, the women are beginning
to familiarize themselves with
the events".
Both coaches are happy with
the attitude between the men
and women and the sharing of
the expertise in their , areas.
Hinkle would like to build , the
team spirit by working together
and "not looking any further
yet".
As of now Hinkle believes
the women have "indications of
good potential , but to really
know for sure, they must be

recorded the first Husky NCAA
Division I team points with a
first round whitewash over Earl
Johnson of Eastern Michigan
University. DiMarco bested
Johnson by a 5-0 count.
However, the sophomore was
elimianted in the next round by
an identical 5-0 blanking:
Other Huskies qualifying for
the tournament were Tom Fink
(126 ) , Carl Poff (134) , Buclcy
McCollum (142) , Eastern
League wrestling champ Chris
Poff (150) and Andy Capelli
( 167).
Sanders was also particularly
impressed with the effort put
forth by Tom Fink. Despite
losing both of his matches, Fink

Hinkle expressed his distaste
about the probable elimination
of the indoor track season . He
believes there is "no just
cause " for it , and considers this
to be "reversed discrimination .
There must -be other alternatives", stresses Hinkle.
Hopefully, no matter what the
decision is about the indoor B
track season , both the men and I
the women will continue with I
the goals they had set for 1
themselves in the beginning of
the season and continue with
i
their noted performances .
