"The future of education is
the future of everything else,"
commented Caryl Kline ,
EducationSecretary of
Designate, guest speaker at the
Commonwealth Association of
Students (CAS) banquet held
Saturday at the Hotel Magee.
The event was held in conjunction with the state wide CAS
conference hosted by BSC.
The
responsibility
of
developing better quality higher
directed
education
was
specifically to the student according to Kline. She feels that
the only way for people to look
at higher education in a better
light is to have the students
selling their college to the
public. A college education is
not held in a high regard as in
the past so it is the job of every
student to display to the public
the importance and vitalness of
higher education.
Kline also noted that
education does not end when
you reach 22. Continuing
education is allowing people of
all ages to enter colleges and
mix thoughts. With this mixture
of younger and older thinking a
better developed and informed
student will emerge.
Constant contacts with your
college afyer graduation will
keep you informed on up to date
items. Yourcollege education,
ef
according to Kline , should not
end after four years. She feels
there is a great need to keep
abreast of all new things happening in your field as well as
others. Students need to
broaden their education and
become aware of what' s going
on in ihe world around them.
The reward for your years of
study stressed Kline is ''Life
will be interestin g to the last
moment thanks to vour college
education. " She also emphasized that older years of life
would not be spent alone and
uninfirmed.
Concerning the financial
aspects of a college education
Kline noted that students must
attemp t to drain every viable
source for funds. Her claim was
that students depend wholly on
the state rather than going out
and trying other areas to attain
needed funds.
The struggle between liberal
arts and vocational education
can be solved by a wedding of
the two infers Kline . She
believes that young people have
to have an ability to think
logically . Looking at both sides
of education for your own
balance sheet. Students have to
be able to think and judge.
To attain a balance Kline
feels that students need a
background knowledge and can
attain this knowledge by taking

a variet y of courses, not just the
ones in their major. She expres sed the opinion that
sjudents need their economics
as well as political sciences and
philo soph y to be able to function
out in the world.
Kline urged all students to be
sure that they could read and
wri te when they graduated
colleg e. She stressed that
college is here to train you to
live with yourself and society.
Through broadening education
students will graduate and be
able to live happily and satisfied
with themselves and society.
In conclusion concerning the
destiny of Pennsylvania State
colleges Kline used a quote
from Lincoln, "If destitution be
our lot then we ourselves must
be its author ."
CAS
by EILEEN CALLAHAN
The financial crunch on this
campus has caused many
students to lose their only
source of income, state jobs.
According to various school
officials their crunch is the
result of mismanagement of
state funds, the large numbers
of students on the state payroll
and the badly handled
monitoring of the student
payroll .
Dr. Jerrold Griffi s, Vice
President for Student Life, said
that students should remember
that they have lost no money,
they have received more money
than ever , but it was spent
faster than ever before. This
year 's budget called for $355,000
of state allocations to be set
aside for the students . This
included money for student
secretaries ,
receptionists ,
timekeepers , etc. . .
There is a series of' events
leading up to the funds crunch.
Last year federal auditors
foun d the school had been
overpaying students. According
to federal regulations , students
on federal aid (BEOG, SEOG,
NDSL) cannot earn over
$2550 a year , many received
much more.
To alleviate this problem , the
financial aid office moved
people from the federal payroll
to the state payroll. This way
students could earn as much
money as possible, without
being subject to federal
BSC hosts conf.
The BSC Campus served as the location for the CAS (Commonwealth Association of Students) Quarterly Conference held this
past weekend. The conference entailed a series of workshops and
meetings ranging from the financial crisis to student grievances.
At the opening session of the conference on Friday, petitions
against the proposed tuition increase were presented by the state
colleges participating in the conference.
Each of the colleges listed the activities and status of CAS on
their campuses in a report given to the conference.
Saturday's activities began with meetings of the Board of
Coordinators, the Board of Presidents and the Board of Minority
Representatives. At these meetings various topics such as CAS's
financial crisis, methods of increasing CAS membership, the
proposed tuition increase, affirmat ive action and other items of
interest were discussed.
Following the workshops was a banquet where the guest, Caryl
Kline spoke. Other dignitaries attending the banquet were State
Representative Ted Stuban, President McCormick of BSC, Richard
Walton, chairman of the Democratic Party in Columbia County and
Edward Hermanski, chairman of the Republican Party in
Columbia County.
After the banquet a series of workshops were held. They were on
Student Consumerism, CAS as an organization, and a Treasurer'
workshop on the financial situation of CAS.
The workshop on Student Consumerism focused on the concept of
the student as being a consumer of education. It was conducted by
Elaine El-Khawas from the American Council on Education based
in Washington D.C., Dick Dumaresque from the Pennsylvania
Department of Education and Kathy Downey, a student from West
Chester State College. The discussion dealt extensively with
students rights for "full disclosure and redress of grievances".
The Treasurer's Workshop conducted by Paul Benkert of Lock
Haven State College emphasized CAS's dire finan cial crisis. It was
stated that if the needed funds do not become available soon,
Michael Sommers, Associate Director for Public Relations will
have to be laid off , the CAS car will have to be sold, the CAS office in
Harrisburg will have to be closed down, and all conferences will be
suspended until further notice. Benkert also stated that CAS as an
organization itself might go out of existence if money is not raised.
Sunday's final session of the conference was also dominated by
plans and proposals to reach solutions for CAS's severe financial
crisis.
After much debate, a proposal was passed that would give each
of the state college student governments the option of deciding
whether or not to add an additional twenty-five cents to the Community Activities fee to help support CAS's activities and yet CAS
would still have its normal drives for membership on each of the
campuses.

scrutiny, according to RobertL.
Duncan, Director of Financial
Aid.
Duncan said this year there
were more students than ever
on the state payroll. "The
philosophy of our use of state
money is to give BSC the needed
skilled help while at the same
time helping the students," he
explained.
Actually, students on the state
payroll are not in financial
need, as are those on federal
aid, Duncan continued.
In addition to the large
number of students on the state
payroll , those who monitor the
payroll didn't catch the low
level of money until they were
"dangerously close" to spending everything.
After emergency meetings,
Griffis' and his colleagues
decided to transfer as many
students as are eligible to the
federal payroll because — they
weren 't spending enough of the
federal money.
According to law, the school
has to spend all the money given
to the school by the federal
government.
Duncan said they have put
"about 99 percent of those
eligible onto the federal payroll
already, although they are
continuing to look everyday."
That is why students on
federal aid have been given 20
hours of work per week.
not
all
Unfortunately,
students were eligible for
federal aid, and hours have
been cut to the barest minimum
all over,campus.
Griffis admitted that this
could be attributed . to
"mismanagement of funds."
According to Duncan and
Griffis, the staff is working hard
to find a solution to the problem.
At the current rate of spending,
$16,500 every two weeks, the
state money will run out by the
fifteenth of April.
However , Griffis said plans
are in the works to avoid this
problem . At a meeting
scheduled to take place this
week they will decide how much
money is needed to put into the
student payroll to complete this
fiscal year; and whether this
can be accomplished through
reallocation of funds from other
parts of the budget.

Program board provides entertainment
b> LENOHE FIRSCHING Interested in knowing where
your pinball and cand ymachine money is going? Mr.
John Trathen and the Kehr
Union Program Board have
some pretty good answers.
The Board is responsible for
most of the programming in
Kehr Union as well as a variety
of special activities, according
to Trathen , Assistant Director
of Student Activities. The Board
uses the money collected from
vending machines to fund a
great variety of activities and
also to sponsor activities
planned by other groups, such

as the Gong Show, Trathen said.

that this year's performances
consisted not only of good local
talent but also of groups from
other places such as New York

by HOLLY MILLER
Raymond Cartwright, who
has been serving as Director of
Housing Division of the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Commission, was the principle
speaker for the BSC housing
program
e n t i t 1ed
"Discrimination in the Housing
Industry" held last Thursday.
Discrimination in housing,
employment, education, public
places because of age, sex,
race, color, religion, handicap,
disability, ancestry, national
origin, use of a guide dog,
willingness or refusal to participate in abortions or
sterilization violates the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Act." This was the major area
convered by. Cartwright, last
Thursday evening.
the
Cartwright opened
expressing
his
evening with
gratitude for the large turn-out.
He emphasized that he was
going to deal only with housing
and he was going to discuss
"law, not just Ray's opinions ".
According to Cartwright, law
is "a wall that separates men
from the jun gle and society ".
He continued, "every law is
basically a compromise - what I
want and what I have to do to be
a part of society ."
Cartwright explained that
"prejudice is a belief ;
discrimination is an act or
conduct that can be regulated
by law. We can not deal with
beliefs".
Since the parts about handicap and disability were just
recently added in 1974, not too
many people realize that such a
law exists, state Cartwright.
Cartwright's main objective is
to try to prevent complaints.
"In PA , there is a pattern of
unequal treatment that exists,
in
housing, "
especially
disclosed Cartwright.
Cartwright went on to
describe five legal remedies
such as The Civil Rights Act of
1866, Title VIII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1968, Title IX of
The Civil Rights Act of 1968,
Real Estate Brokers License
Act of 1929 Act 192 of 1967, and
Local Ordinances. He also gave
information on how to go about
filing a complaint .
"First , the investigation must
take place, then the Commission makes a finding of
either no probable cause and
moves to dismiss the complaint
or probable cause and acts to
correct the discriminatory
practice and its effects ," explained Cartwright . "If it turns
out to be probable cause, the
conciliation occurs and either
ends up with satisfactory adjustm ent or a public hearing. If
a public hearing must take
place, once again they must go
through the procedure of finding probable cause. Finally, if
the case is still proven to be
under a probable cause, the last
step to take is Cease and Desist
order, which then is either
decided to be a compliance or a
court review, concluded Cartwright.
Cartwrigh t complimented
John Abel, B.S.C. Housing
Director, for his concern for
both the town and the college.
He described Abel as having
"concerned objectivity ".
After Cartwright finished his
presentation , he added , "it
costs nothing to file suit, except
a dime for a phone call, and
even then a person can tell the
Regional Office that they are a
tax payer and they will then call
you back. If you are having any
trouble with discrimination in
housing, don't hesitate to call
the Regional Office in Pittor
Harrisburg,
sburgh ,
Philadelphia".

Trathen refers to as a "rover's

have no obligation to the
Board other than interest.
"People can walk into a
meeting with a suggestion ,
become involved with a particular project if they want to,
then drop out," said Trathen ,
"or they can stay involved and
join a committee or run for a

member of IMAGE, was asked
if the group had any connection
with the sign langauge classes,
she said that some students
from these classes teach sign
language to the others. Also, if
the group has problems, they
have many people to go to for
help. She said that Don Miller,
Associate Professor in Communications Disorders, is a
great help .
Dr. Miller doesn't know sign
language so when he watches
IMAGE interpret the songs he
can tell the students if he understands their interpretations
as an audience with no
background in sign language or
an audience of deaf people
would. The group also check
their interpretations by muffling their ears and watching
other members perform to see
if the meaning of the sign
language is the same as the
song.
One of a few members of the
group interpret and" perform
each song. Some of the songs
that they have done in the past
are : "Follow Me" (Olivia
Newton John;, "Blind Man in

BOY I'M STRONG: John Henson, winner of the 160 lb.
class in the ARM tournament , waits for the judges nod so
he can release the tonage from above his head.

McCallum cleans up
Pumping iron
RICK SITLER
Dan McCallum, displaying the strength hat enables this human
juggernaut to explode from the backfield on the gridiron, breezed
his way to an impressive championship last Wednesday night as
the ARM (Association of Resident Men) weighlifting tournament
in the Elwell Game Room came to and end.
The two day tourney was highlighted by McCallum's climb to the
title at the 200 lb. weight class as numerous unprecedented feats
were attained. McCallum becamethe first person in the tourney's
history to surmount the 700 lb. mark in overall combined lifts , and
was thus labeled the "strongest person in the competition." In
addition, McCallum distinguished himself in being the only participant to "jerk" 320 lbs.
In other action, Ron Dermo powered his way to honors in the 140
lb. weight class with an unbelievable combined lift of 550 lbs. The
youth , weighing in at four lbs. below maximum, was termed by
John Cannon, President of ARM and this year's tourney co-ordinator, that "pound for pound, Ron is the most powerful lifter in
competition and probably the school".
At the 160 lb. class, the title went down to the wire, as two men
equalled a combined lift of 540 lbs. John Henson was eventually
declared winner over Kevin Lazarski on the basis of Henson
weighing in at one lb. less than his opponent..
Rob Keyser easily carted off his trophy in the 180 lb. class with a
combined lift of 605 lbs., sixty pounds ah ead of his n earest
challenger, Greg Heisler.
In 220 lb. competition , Tom Koons' jaunt was somewhat undisturbed as he hoisted his way to first place with a combined lift of
635 lbs. .
In a fitting end to fine competitiveness, Grad Assistant Frank
Williams slid by Lee Jacobs for the heavyweightlaurels. Williams,
heaving 410 lbs. on the benchpress, was the only one in contention to
pass the 400 lb. mark. He edged Jacobs by 20 lbs. Jacobs then
preceded to go after Williams in the jerk, but all bubbles broke as
Jacob's last attempt failed, leaving him 5 lbs. ah ead but still 15 lbs.
shy of Williams' combined lift. Winners of their perspective
weight classes will be awarded 21" trophys and the runner-upswill
receive T-shirts.
'In all, the tournament was termed a success," according to
Cannon, "If nothing else, a fine warm-up for BSC football palyers,
of which the competition was largely comprised of."
Class officer elections
Petitions are now available at the Union Information Desk
for sophomore,jun ior and senior class officers. Offices open
for next year include: president, vice-president, treasurer,
and secretary. Petitions are due back at the Information
Desk no later than Friday, April 22 at 5 p.m.
Elections will be hold Tuesday and Wednesday, April 26
and 27. On campus students will vote only in the Scranton
Commons from 10:30 to 1:30 and from 4 to 6:30. Off campus
students will vote in the Union from 9 to 5.

' Comments from the coach
In commenting on this year's
season and next year's outlook ,
Coach Eli McLaughlin states,
"Considering we started the
season lacking depth, I had no
idea we could do as well as we
did. It shows that dedication
and sacrifice displayed by our
swimmers really paid off.
Actually, seven swimmers
scored 209 points in the Pennsylvania Conference championships to bring home a fourth
place while other teams had
many more point scorers and
yet finished below us.
"I am very enthusiastic about
the next season . Marvin and the
other four returning national
performers should be an inspiration to the total team effort. If our recruiting goes well
and we can provide badly
needed depth , we should be a
contender for the conference
championships next year."

"The future of education is
the future of everything else,"
commented Caryl Kline ,
EducationSecretary of
Designate, guest speaker at the
Commonwealth Association of
Students (CAS) banquet held
Saturday at the Hotel Magee.
The event was held in conjunction with the state wide CAS
conference hosted by BSC.
The
responsibility
of
developing better quality higher
directed
education
was
specifically to the student according to Kline. She feels that
the only way for people to look
at higher education in a better
light is to have the students
selling their college to the
public. A college education is
not held in a high regard as in
the past so it is the job of every
student to display to the public
the importance and vitalness of
higher education.
Kline also noted that
education does not end when
you reach 22. Continuing
education is allowing people of
all ages to enter colleges and
mix thoughts. With this mixture
of younger and older thinking a
better developed and informed
student will emerge.
Constant contacts with your
college afyer graduation will
keep you informed on up to date
items. Yourcollege education,
ef
according to Kline , should not
end after four years. She feels
there is a great need to keep
abreast of all new things happening in your field as well as
others. Students need to
broaden their education and
become aware of what' s going
on in ihe world around them.
The reward for your years of
study stressed Kline is ''Life
will be interestin g to the last
moment thanks to vour college
education. " She also emphasized that older years of life
would not be spent alone and
uninfirmed.
Concerning the financial
aspects of a college education
Kline noted that students must
attemp t to drain every viable
source for funds. Her claim was
that students depend wholly on
the state rather than going out
and trying other areas to attain
needed funds.
The struggle between liberal
arts and vocational education
can be solved by a wedding of
the two infers Kline . She
believes that young people have
to have an ability to think
logically . Looking at both sides
of education for your own
balance sheet. Students have to
be able to think and judge.
To attain a balance Kline
feels that students need a
background knowledge and can
attain this knowledge by taking

a variet y of courses, not just the
ones in their major. She expres sed the opinion that
sjudents need their economics
as well as political sciences and
philo soph y to be able to function
out in the world.
Kline urged all students to be
sure that they could read and
wri te when they graduated
colleg e. She stressed that
college is here to train you to
live with yourself and society.
Through broadening education
students will graduate and be
able to live happily and satisfied
with themselves and society.
In conclusion concerning the
destiny of Pennsylvania State
colleges Kline used a quote
from Lincoln, "If destitution be
our lot then we ourselves must
be its author ."
CAS
by EILEEN CALLAHAN
The financial crunch on this
campus has caused many
students to lose their only
source of income, state jobs.
According to various school
officials their crunch is the
result of mismanagement of
state funds, the large numbers
of students on the state payroll
and the badly handled
monitoring of the student
payroll .
Dr. Jerrold Griffi s, Vice
President for Student Life, said
that students should remember
that they have lost no money,
they have received more money
than ever , but it was spent
faster than ever before. This
year 's budget called for $355,000
of state allocations to be set
aside for the students . This
included money for student
secretaries ,
receptionists ,
timekeepers , etc. . .
There is a series of' events
leading up to the funds crunch.
Last year federal auditors
foun d the school had been
overpaying students. According
to federal regulations , students
on federal aid (BEOG, SEOG,
NDSL) cannot earn over
$2550 a year , many received
much more.
To alleviate this problem , the
financial aid office moved
people from the federal payroll
to the state payroll. This way
students could earn as much
money as possible, without
being subject to federal
BSC hosts conf.
The BSC Campus served as the location for the CAS (Commonwealth Association of Students) Quarterly Conference held this
past weekend. The conference entailed a series of workshops and
meetings ranging from the financial crisis to student grievances.
At the opening session of the conference on Friday, petitions
against the proposed tuition increase were presented by the state
colleges participating in the conference.
Each of the colleges listed the activities and status of CAS on
their campuses in a report given to the conference.
Saturday's activities began with meetings of the Board of
Coordinators, the Board of Presidents and the Board of Minority
Representatives. At these meetings various topics such as CAS's
financial crisis, methods of increasing CAS membership, the
proposed tuition increase, affirmat ive action and other items of
interest were discussed.
Following the workshops was a banquet where the guest, Caryl
Kline spoke. Other dignitaries attending the banquet were State
Representative Ted Stuban, President McCormick of BSC, Richard
Walton, chairman of the Democratic Party in Columbia County and
Edward Hermanski, chairman of the Republican Party in
Columbia County.
After the banquet a series of workshops were held. They were on
Student Consumerism, CAS as an organization, and a Treasurer'
workshop on the financial situation of CAS.
The workshop on Student Consumerism focused on the concept of
the student as being a consumer of education. It was conducted by
Elaine El-Khawas from the American Council on Education based
in Washington D.C., Dick Dumaresque from the Pennsylvania
Department of Education and Kathy Downey, a student from West
Chester State College. The discussion dealt extensively with
students rights for "full disclosure and redress of grievances".
The Treasurer's Workshop conducted by Paul Benkert of Lock
Haven State College emphasized CAS's dire finan cial crisis. It was
stated that if the needed funds do not become available soon,
Michael Sommers, Associate Director for Public Relations will
have to be laid off , the CAS car will have to be sold, the CAS office in
Harrisburg will have to be closed down, and all conferences will be
suspended until further notice. Benkert also stated that CAS as an
organization itself might go out of existence if money is not raised.
Sunday's final session of the conference was also dominated by
plans and proposals to reach solutions for CAS's severe financial
crisis.
After much debate, a proposal was passed that would give each
of the state college student governments the option of deciding
whether or not to add an additional twenty-five cents to the Community Activities fee to help support CAS's activities and yet CAS
would still have its normal drives for membership on each of the
campuses.

scrutiny, according to RobertL.
Duncan, Director of Financial
Aid.
Duncan said this year there
were more students than ever
on the state payroll. "The
philosophy of our use of state
money is to give BSC the needed
skilled help while at the same
time helping the students," he
explained.
Actually, students on the state
payroll are not in financial
need, as are those on federal
aid, Duncan continued.
In addition to the large
number of students on the state
payroll , those who monitor the
payroll didn't catch the low
level of money until they were
"dangerously close" to spending everything.
After emergency meetings,
Griffis' and his colleagues
decided to transfer as many
students as are eligible to the
federal payroll because — they
weren 't spending enough of the
federal money.
According to law, the school
has to spend all the money given
to the school by the federal
government.
Duncan said they have put
"about 99 percent of those
eligible onto the federal payroll
already, although they are
continuing to look everyday."
That is why students on
federal aid have been given 20
hours of work per week.
not
all
Unfortunately,
students were eligible for
federal aid, and hours have
been cut to the barest minimum
all over,campus.
Griffis admitted that this
could be attributed . to
"mismanagement of funds."
According to Duncan and
Griffis, the staff is working hard
to find a solution to the problem.
At the current rate of spending,
$16,500 every two weeks, the
state money will run out by the
fifteenth of April.
However , Griffis said plans
are in the works to avoid this
problem . At a meeting
scheduled to take place this
week they will decide how much
money is needed to put into the
student payroll to complete this
fiscal year; and whether this
can be accomplished through
reallocation of funds from other
parts of the budget.

b> LENOHE FIRSCHING Interested in knowing where
your pinball and cand ymachine money is going? Mr.
John Trathen and the Kehr
Union Program Board have
some pretty good answers.
The Board is responsible for
most of the programming in
Kehr Union as well as a variety
of special activities, according
to Trathen , Assistant Director
of Student Activities. The Board
uses the money collected from
vending machines to fund a
great variety of activities and
also to sponsor activities
planned by other groups, such

"The uMlthatseparates"
by HOLLY MILLER
Raymond Cartwright, who
has been serving as Director of
Housing Division of the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Commission, was the principle
speaker for the BSC housing
program
e n t i t 1ed
"Discrimination in the Housing
Industry" held last Thursday.
Discrimination in housing,
employment, education, public
places because of age, sex,
race, color, religion, handicap,
disability, ancestry, national
origin, use of a guide dog,
willingness or refusal to participate in abortions or
sterilization violates the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Act." This was the major area
convered by. Cartwright, last
Thursday evening.
the
Cartwright opened
expressing
his
evening with
gratitude for the large turn-out.
He emphasized that he was
going to deal only with housing
and he was going to discuss
"law, not just Ray's opinions ".
According to Cartwright, law
is "a wall that separates men
from the jun gle and society ".
He continued, "every law is
basically a compromise - what I
want and what I have to do to be
a part of society ."
Cartwright explained that
"prejudice is a belief ;
discrimination is an act or
conduct that can be regulated
by law. We can not deal with
beliefs".
Since the parts about handicap and disability were just
recently added in 1974, not too
many people realize that such a
law exists, state Cartwright.
Cartwright's main objective is
to try to prevent complaints.
"In PA , there is a pattern of
unequal treatment that exists,
in
housing, "
especially
disclosed Cartwright.
Cartwright went on to
describe five legal remedies
such as The Civil Rights Act of
1866, Title VIII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1968, Title IX of
The Civil Rights Act of 1968,
Real Estate Brokers License
Act of 1929 Act 192 of 1967, and
Local Ordinances. He also gave
information on how to go about
filing a complaint .
"First , the investigation must
take place, then the Commission makes a finding of
either no probable cause and
moves to dismiss the complaint
or probable cause and acts to
correct the discriminatory
practice and its effects ," explained Cartwright . "If it turns
out to be probable cause, the
conciliation occurs and either
ends up with satisfactory adjustm ent or a public hearing. If
a public hearing must take
place, once again they must go
through the procedure of finding probable cause. Finally, if
the case is still proven to be
under a probable cause, the last
step to take is Cease and Desist
order, which then is either
decided to be a compliance or a
court review, concluded Cartwright.
Cartwrigh t complimented
John Abel, B.S.C. Housing
Director, for his concern for
both the town and the college.
He described Abel as having
"concerned objectivity ".
After Cartwright finished his
presentation , he added , "it
costs nothing to file suit, except
a dime for a phone call, and
even then a person can tell the
Regional Office that they are a
tax payer and they will then call
you back. If you are having any
trouble with discrimination in
housing, don't hesitate to call
the Regional Office in Pittor
Harrisburg,
sburgh ,
Philadelphia".

Trathen refers to as a "rover's

have no obligation to the
Board other than interest.
"People can walk into a
meeting with a suggestion ,
become involved with a particular project if they want to,
then drop out," said Trathen ,
"or they can stay involved and
join a committee or run for a

member of IMAGE, was asked
if the group had any connection
with the sign langauge classes,
she said that some students
from these classes teach sign
language to the others. Also, if
the group has problems, they
have many people to go to for
help. She said that Don Miller,
Associate Professor in Communications Disorders, is a
great help .
Dr. Miller doesn't know sign
language so when he watches
IMAGE interpret the songs he
can tell the students if he understands their interpretations
as an audience with no
background in sign language or
an audience of deaf people
would. The group also check
their interpretations by muffling their ears and watching
other members perform to see
if the meaning of the sign
language is the same as the
song.
One of a few members of the
group interpret and" perform
each song. Some of the songs
that they have done in the past
are : "Follow Me" (Olivia
Newton John;, "Blind Man in
the Bleachers " (Kenny Starr ) ,
"Teach
Your
Children "
(Crosby, Stills, ftash & Young),
and "You've Got a Friend"
(Carole King).
Why do they do this? One
member of the. group said, "To
elaborate
on
endless
possibilities that are open to
everyone. "

BOY I'M STRONG: John Henson, winner of the 160 lb.

McCallum cleans up
Pumping iron
RICK SITLER
Dan McCallum, displaying the strength hat enables this human
juggernaut to explode from the backfield on the gridiron, breezed
his way to an impressive championship last Wednesday night as
the ARM (Association of Resident Men) weighlifting tournament
in the Elwell Game Room came to and end.
The two day tourney was highlighted by McCallum's climb to the
title at the 200 lb. weight class as numerous unprecedented feats
were attained. McCallum becamethe first person in the tourney's
history to surmount the 700 lb. mark in overall combined lifts , and
was thus labeled the "strongest person in the competition." In
addition, McCallum distinguished himself in being the only participant to "jerk" 320 lbs.
In other action, Ron Dermo powered his way to honors in the 140
lb. weight class with an unbelievable combined lift of 550 lbs. The
youth , weighing in at four lbs. below maximum, was termed by
John Cannon, President of ARM and this year's tourney co-ordinator, that "pound for pound, Ron is the most powerful lifter in
competition and probably the school".
At the 160 lb. class, the title went down to the wire, as two men
equalled a combined lift of 540 lbs. John Henson was eventually
declared winner over Kevin Lazarski on the basis of Henson
weighing in at one lb. less than his opponent..
Rob Keyser easily carted off his trophy in the 180 lb. class with a
combined lift of 605 lbs., sixty pounds ah ead of his n earest
challenger, Greg Heisler.
In 220 lb. competition , Tom Koons' jaunt was somewhat undisturbed as he hoisted his way to first place with a combined lift of
635 lbs. .
In a fitting end to fine competitiveness, Grad Assistant Frank
Williams slid by Lee Jacobs for the heavyweightlaurels. Williams,
heaving 410 lbs. on the benchpress, was the only one in contention to
pass the 400 lb. mark. He edged Jacobs by 20 lbs. Jacobs then
preceded to go after Williams in the jerk, but all bubbles broke as
Jacob's last attempt failed, leaving him 5 lbs. ah ead but still 15 lbs.
shy of Williams' combined lift. Winners of their perspective
weight classes will be awarded 21" trophys and the runner-upswill
receive T-shirts.
'In all, the tournament was termed a success," according to
Cannon, "If nothing else, a fine warm-up for BSC football palyers,
of which the competition was largely comprised of."
Class officer elections
Petitions are now available at the Union Information Desk
for sophomore,jun ior and senior class officers. Offices open
for next year include: president, vice-president, treasurer,
and secretary. Petitions are due back at the Information
Desk no later than Friday, April 22 at 5 p.m.
Elections will be hold Tuesday and Wednesday, April 26
and 27. On campus students will vote only in the Scranton
Commons from 10:30 to 1:30 and from 4 to 6:30. Off campus
students will vote in the Union from 9 to 5.

' Comments from the coach
In commenting on this year's
season and next year's outlook ,
Coach Eli McLaughlin states,
"Considering we started the
season lacking depth, I had no
idea we could do as well as we
did. It shows that dedication
and sacrifice displayed by our
swimmers really paid off.
Actually, seven swimmers
scored 209 points in the Pennsylvania Conference championships to bring home a fourth
place while other teams had
many more point scorers and
yet finished below us.
"I am very enthusiastic about
the next season . Marvin and the
other four returning national
performers should be an inspiration to the total team effort. If our recruiting goes well
and we can provide badly
needed depth , we should be a
contender for the conference
championships next year."
