Academic standing
policies reviewed
A proposal for a new academic standing policy, approval
of a library book and materials
selection policy, approval of a
film-loaning policy and approval of a statement of
philosophy concerning intercollegiate athletics were
conducted at a recent meeting
of the Coordinating Committee
on Academic Affairs last
Tuesday.
Scott
Wetzel , student
member, presented a report by
a subcommittee, consisting of
him, Cathy Lucrezi, student
member , Dr. Emily A.
Reuwsaat, professor of special
education, and Dr. Ann Marie
Noakes, associate professor of
elementary education , concerning a new policy on
academic standing.
According to the old policy, a
student is either in good standing or on academic probation.
To determine this, a guide-line
was used. Students with up to 18
semester hours were required
to maintain a cumulative
average of 1.25 or higher, 19-30
semester hours required 1.50 or
higher, 31-54 semester hours
required 1.75 or higher and 55
and above semester hours
required an average of 2.0 or
higher. Below the required
cumulative average would
place the student on academic
p r o b a t i o n . (A c a d e m i c
probation means that the
student has the following
semester to bring his - her
cumulative average to the
desired level. If the average is
not raised, the student is expelled.)
This policy has one major
drawback. Although the student
may be in good standing at the
present moment, he - she might
have to raise their cum a great
deal higher for the future , As
graduation nears, the total four
year average must be 2.0 or
higher! Most students are
unaware of this fact, which
causes problems at graduation.
The student usually has to
appeal his case to the probation
board if his - her cum is below
that one required for
gra duation .
, ,
"WARNING DEVICE"
The new policy is arranged as
a "warning device," according
to Noakes. According to the new
policy, a cumulative average of
2.0 or higher will be used as a
measure of good standing,
regardless of the number of
semester hours. However, the
old guide-lino to cut off students
for academic probation will still
be used. An addition to the
policy is that students falling
between a 2.0 cum and the cutoff for probation would be
labeled as having minimal
satisfactory progress towards
academic good standing. For
example, a student with 31
semester hours and a
cumulative average of 1.75
would fall under this category.
If the student falls below 1.75 he
is on academic probation .
However, if he raises it to 2.0 or
higher, he is in good standing.
Dr. Lynn A. Watson ,
professor of elementary
education, suggested tabling
the policy until the next
meeting.His reason was that he
felt the members should review
the policy and further research
it. His motion was passed.
"EXCESS LIBRARY
MATERIAL
Noakes presented a policy on
the selection of library books
and materials. The reason for
the policy was that there is a
space problem in Andruss
Library. This is mostly due to
the fact that there are many
multiple copies of books and
materials which are seldom
used. The new policy states that
these excess supplies would be
stored and the school depart-
CGA
ments would be notified in order
to give them access to the
materials in case they would be
needed. The "weeding policy"
is a national library policy
developed by professional
librarians which is in existence
at the present time in many
libraries. CCAA accepted and

Tuition in the Pennsylvania State College system will most
likely see an increase between $200 and $250 for the 1977-78
academic year and Mulhern feels this is because "the legislators
have felt no pressures from the students. "
Both House and Senate budget appropriations committeeshave
decided not to ask for a general tax increase for Pennsylvania
residents which will force a cutback in higher education funds to
173 million dollars. This proposal is $5 million less than what the
governors budget called for. '
The State College and University Directors Board (SCUD)
called for a 190 million dollar appropriation in order to maintain
the systems at their present standards. The $17 million dollar
difference must be made with a tuition increase which will
amount to approximately $250 per student.
PHEAA grants are not going to be increased to compensate
therefore up to 2,000students will be forced to drop out of school.
This figure comes from a recent study initiated by SCUD. The
results show that for each one per cent increase in tuition, one per
cent of the students will be forced to withdraw
¦ from college due to
financial inefficiencies.
. - . ¦ ',
These proposals have only been passed in the appropriation
committees and are subject to approval by the full body of
congress. The no-tax policy and the cut in higher education
monies "is not final, although likely", said Tom Mulhern, CGA
president
. "
The collegesystem, on the other hand may not even receive$173
million. An appropriation increaseof 1-3 per cent oyer last year 's
$168 million is expected.
Service cuts coupled with a tuition increase of a lesser degree
have also been discussed as an alternative. This obviously would
mean a cutback in the present faculty, staff, and student services.
Mulhern feels "there has to be a consciousness raised", along
with total student support for the activities of the Commonwealth
Association of Students to fight this impending tuition increase.

CGA passed a motion at
Monday night's meeting to offer
a $500 reward to anyone who has
information that would lead to
the arrest and conviction of the
person or persons responsible
for the recent bomb threats.
CGA also moved to pass a
motion to strongly urge the
faculty and administration to
match this reward.
Dr. Frank Davis, Assistant
Vice President of Administration, stated that the
faculty is offering $250 out of
their budget for a reward. Davis
also stated there are some
impending arrests, however he
was not at liberty to discuss
this.

Mulhern stated that there is
no sympathy in Harrisburg.
Students are urged to help fight
this by joining CAS and writing
letters to Congressmen. There
will be a rally held on April 27
against the tuition hike.
Students are also urged to attend this.
Jill Sanderlin, a member of
CGA , requested support
of CGA in her discrimination
suit against Mrs. Betty
Heinaker. Sanderlin > rented an
apartment from Reinaker last
summer and when Sanderlin
requested to rent it for the fall
semester Mrs. Reinaker said it
was already being rented. Later
Sanderlin saw a notice that it
was for rent but when she went
back to rent it she was told she
could not.
Sanderlin 's case will be held
on April 20 in Harrisburg and
she requested some CGA
members to go with her. CGA
passed a motion to support her,
however a motion to allocate $50
for expenses was defeated.
Bill Boyer, CGA treasurer,
reported that the Arcus
Brothers ' refrigerator case is
closed,
The
Consumer
Protection Agency has dropped
the case. They could find no
legal grounds because they
could not prove that Arcus
Brothers knew college policy.
A motion was passed to
allocate a $300 gift to the Town
Park . Every year the Town
Park Commission solicits
patrons from organizations for
contributions. Since students
use the park's summer
programs CGA voted to pass the
motion.
A request for $300 additional
funds ,for the men 's basketball
budget for recruiting purposes
was denied because they were
allocated a budget for the year
and exasted it.
Quest's request of the use of

Off on a tangent
Ike vs. Norton
A story of BSC's
judicialprocess inaction
by DALE MYERS
For the first time in a long
time, the President's appelate
Board met last Thursday to
review the appeal of a BSC
student claiming that he had
received unjust punishment
after being cited for a drinking
violation in the dorm last
February. The trial , if I may be
so bold as to call it that, would
have been as boring as a Board
of Trustees meeting had not the
prurient interests of the student
been the . major topic of
discussion. This seemed rather
ironic in light of the true purpose for which the board met .
that being to discuss and decide
whether or not the punishment
leveled on the student was too
harsh.
THE STORY
Last
February, . John
Eichenlaub, President of the
Junior Class was nabbed
drinking in the dorm and at a
hearing in front of Ed Nardi,
dean of Montour Hall , was
placed
on
disciplinary
probation. This sounds simple
enough except that the consequences of this action in
Eichenlaub's case, were
monumental. When placed on
probation , Eichenlaub was
stripped of his office as Junior
Class President, member of
CGA, member of the Union
Governing Board, and last but
certainly not least a CGA
scholarship playing to the tune
oi 200smackers. This certainly
doesn't sound like probation in
view of the fact most of
Eichenlaub's reputation may
have flown out the window right
after his offices.
Ironically enough Eichenlaub
admitted to the board that he
was guilty of the charge, but
concentrated on emphasizing
all the wonderful things he has
done on the campus rather than
getting to the real issue, which
he claims was undue punishment and harassment by
Robert Norton, Dean of Student
Life. Eichenlaub even had the
guts to assert that Norton might
have pressured Nardi into the
decision
of
levelling
disciplinary probation against
Eichenlaub; a valid comment in
light of Eichenlaub's previous
confrontations with Norton and
the fact that Eichenlaub
revealed at the hearing that
Norton visited the financial aid
office three times during the
week before Eichenlaub lost his
- . u
.
CGA scholarship.

THE CASE
After milling about on the
details oi something which
amounted to no more than a
simple booze party , board
chairman, William Williams,
special advisors to the
President, finally steered the
board and Eichenlaub in the
direction of the actual reason
for the meeting which is to find
out if Eichenlaub's punishment
was, in fact , too harsh.
Everybody there knew he had a
party in his room, along with
the select few who were there,
but I guess most the board
wanted to hear' about it just
because they missed it.
Finally, the board got to the
issue. Eichenlaub- called on
Bruce DeHaven to explain one
of the instances in which Norton
had supposedly harassed
Eichenlaub. I'm sure we all
remember the SophomoreJunior banquet where the big
question was whether or not the
college council could provide
buses to the Sheraton for those
who didn 't have a ride.
Somehow the administration
(aka ) Norton et. al. couldn't get
this through their heads and
maintained that the only reason
Eichenlaub and De Haven
asked for buses was so that kids
could . consume
demon
beverage, get plastered out
their minds and not have to
drive home. Thus council
believed the interpretation of
Eichenlaub and gave them the
buses. This 'move was later
vetoed by President McCormick.
However, Norton got so upset
that council even passed the
motion that he confronted
Eichenlaub and DeHaven after
the meeting where DeHaven
recalled that , "Dean (Norton 's
nickname) was shouting at
Ike," and "I could really tell
the tensions between the two."
Offering his own evaluation
DeHaven claimed, "I don 't
think there was just cause for
the way Dean Norton behaved."
God be praised ! That's one of
the very few times I've ever
heard a student publically say
that an administrator might be
wrong. Finally the board was on
the right track, but somehow
they managed to get back to the
details of the booze violation.
After about twenty minutes of
sputtering about exactly what
kind of drinks they had and how

During he course of our day to

than others. Every once in a
while something comes up that
makes us wonder if it is worth it
all.
There are many things we do

bother us now and then such as,
"where is the bathroom?" and
"who took my inkpen?" or even
"why do I have to take this

Of course there are much
more important questions in life
that deserve to be answered
first, except maybe if you are
looking for the bathroom.
The questions I am speaking
of are the ones that have

Those seem a bit on the
bizarre side and probably will
never become reality .... or will
they?
However, there are other
questions that I wonder about.
Those are questions which have
a better chance of being true
than the ones above. In fact they
can be considered as very likely
to happen. I wonder if:
— people really throw shoes
at noisey cats on fences at
night?
— levelheadedness went out
with the flattop haircut?
— anyone has ever walked a
mile for a pack of Camels?
— anyone has ever hummed
the tune 'Melancholy Baby'?
— anyone has ever heard the
tune 'Melancholy Baby'?
Or if :
—
anyone knows what the
t
tune 'Melancholy Baby' is?
— anyone knows what a tune
is?
(Sorry, I lost my head)
But most of all, I wonder if
anyone will ever read this
ridiculous column in its entirety. If you have, you may be
alone.

curred in some other way,
resulting in a situation that
could possibly change related
events.
For example, suppose the
Viking I, in taking pictures of
Mars surface, had discovered a
McDonald's Big Mac container
on the planet? Or still more
puzzling, what if its cameras
had revealed a pair of ruby
slipper-clas feet sticking out
from beneath the lander?
Other things to consider are,
what if:
— the nation's capital had
been moved from Washington,
D.C. to Espy, Pa.?
— New Jersey declared war
on Pennsylvania?
— Big Foot was really a
Russian plot to involve our
scientists in worthless study?
Or what if:
— bomb scares were as funny
as some think they are?
— guerillas were really hairy
animals that fough t in wars?
—those thought to be insane
were really the ones who were
sane and vice versa?
— all of this was just a
figment of our imaginations?
The cosmic crusade
shitless.
I placed a call to the
Psychology Department of
Miskatonic in Arkham. Anderson wasn't there, and for a
good reason — he was dead.
He'd been killed two weeks
before in a rather peculiar auto
accident. What was so odd
about the wreck? Oh , nothing if
you're in the habit of going
around with no breakes and a
faulty steering linkage on your
car. Foul play? You bet your
sweet Austin!
Didn 't realize all this was
possible, did you? Here it was —
a real live war between good
and evil, and it was happening
right here on our own campus.
It was a war alright, and Myers
and I were soldiers —
minutemen to be exact — and
we were headed towards a
conflict few on the face of the
Earth have conceived , let alone
participated in. We were cosmic
crusaders.
To manage our crusade an
intelligence network called the
Students Cosmic Awareness
Group, or SC AG, was created.
SC AG took charge of gathering
all available information on the
Elder Gods and thier minions.
Our report was sent to both
CGA and the Commonwealth
Association of Students. Pierce
Atwater , renounned student
activiat, and Tom Mulhern ,
CGA president, met with us at
Atwater's West Main apartment.
All these years students had
been sitting on a psychic
powerkeg — which was sooner
or late going to need defusing,
and that time was soon, far too
soon for those of us that had to
do it. Pierce Atwater made a
point that sorely hit home.
Somewhere in the midst of
conversation we got on the
subject of student activism.
"Have you ever noticed how
the same damn people are
always getting involved? Look
at this meeting for example:
everybody here has been doing
student government work, or
else on the newspaper staff.
Where are the bastards we do
all this for? Haven't they been
reading your column, Daryl?"
I took a sip of the beer Pierce
had thoughtfully , provided, and
shrugged. "They think I'm
crazy," I confessed, and they
regard what I've written as
bujlshit ." It was no trouble
figuring out where Atwater was
coming from. He was getting
disillusioned ; a point I reached
early in college life; at the who
gives a f~k attitude of the
student body.
That was a problem that
would always be with us while
the matter of the Elder Gods
was a more immediate concern.
Our plan was rather simple :
find out who the followers of the
evil ones were and suround
their unholy sabbath grounds
with high-power by, portable
plifiers powered by portable
generators. Those with CB
radios would use their PA mode
and join in an incantation
seeking the aid of mighty
Kthanid once more. If the attempt was successful we would
have destroyed a heinous
threat. If not, no degree of
imagination was necessary to
surmise what they would do to
us...

THE CONCLUSION
Judicial process inaction
WOMEN AND PROTEST...Rose Dalton spoke to women
interested in pulling their resources to improve conditions
and opportunities available to women. (Photo by Palmer)
Dalton stresses
resourcefulness
by VICKIE WEARS
Rose Dalton, firm-spoken and direct with an optimism in
women and a strong dislike for the conditions and opportunities
availablefor women, was guest speaker to BSC, April 18 & 19. She
spoke on the history of women.
"There is power in organization and' movement," Dalton
stressed, "As a group, the administration listens. If you try to
deal with problems alone you get nowhere."
In 1967, after theRebellion in Detroit, Michigan, to Dalton's role
as housewife and mother was added another dimension — a
search for self-fulfillment and autonomy plus an intense desire to
ibev effective as a career person.
, This desire for effectiveness lead her to Southern Oregon State
College to gain her B.S. in Political Science and her M.A. in
Psychological Counseling.
Dalton organized Women in Transition at SOSC with her focus
on helping women returning to college.
Organizing took time and energy on Dalton 's part. She started
out with a desk and signs promoting her cause. She availed
herself as a resource person and also encouraged women to make
decisions, while educating the community & the college. Together
these women decided on their political aspirat ions.
Asked her opinion of BSC women, Dalton saw some of the individual women as "typical warm, active, interested, willing to
share", however,, also "shy and unsure". Dalton sees that the
women here are looking to be educated and academically, the
management is not helping.
,
A recourse in identifying the problems and solving them may be
found in collective action of these women and using the resources
of some of the counselors: "You need services in assertiveness
and job-seeking skills, career and vocational guidance, peer
counseling, rap groups, as well as educational workshops on
various types of problems."
"Students seem to foget that college is supposed to be a testing
ground for learning to make decisions," Dalton pointed out, "You
are employers! The administration and faculty are employed by
YOU ! Demandjo be taught what YOU want. "
Dalton 's overall view of women today as opposed to the past is
that "We should be in a better place..a stronger role, but we're
hot. Mobility choices, and freedom are better than they were, but
so many women are not informed."
"We have not come a long way baby...Women are still critical
of themselves and of each other because they continue to play the
role of product and compete for top position by gaining the favor
ofI men.

many people were there they
decided that Eichenlaub and his
roommate did have a- party,
which we already knew at the
beginning of the meeting.
Eichenlaub then managed to
get back to the real subject and
continued to discuss Norton's
conduct whenj ie asked to appeal Nardi's decision to put him
on disciplinary probation.
Eichenlaub stated that he went
to Norton 's office where the
Dean denied his request for an
appeal . The only grounds
Norton had were that, ? 'I hate to
put it this way, but there are
good leaders in prison too." As
if Haldeman and Erlichman
and maybe even Nixon were
good leaders. At this point most
of the board members raised an
eyebrow , but again moved
away from the harassment onto
a discussion of the panalty
which oddly enough had to be
read to Nardi from The Pilot.
A DECISION
IN THE MAKING?
Finally the board decided to
discuss whether or not
disciplinary probation was too
harsh a punishment for a very
involved Eichenlaub who lost
all of his offices as a result of
the punishment. After a long
discussion over exactly what
the punishment encompasses,
Williams finally asked Tom
Mulhern. CGA president, if
Student Life, or Norton if you
prefer, had the right to take
away the 200 bucks. Mulhern
responded, "I would seriously
challenge Dean 's (Norton 's)
right to take away the
member, Norman Hilgar, asked
if there was a precedent, or a
previous case with similar
circumstances where the
punishment was either more or
less severe.
Bravo! Finally, the board was
beginning to get to the heart of
the matter. Nardi responded to
this by saying he didn't know of
but
that
usually
any,
probation
or
disciplinary
removal from the dorm are the
sanctions which are levelled.
Obviously Nardi chose to forget
about the verbal and written
warnings for offenses stated in
The Pilot.
then
asked
Williams
had
ever
Eichenlaub if ^he
received a warning for alcohol
and Eichenlaub stated that he
had not. However, Nardi was
quick enough to point out that
Eichenlaub had received a
written warning for a visitation
violation , which had no
relevance to the case whatsoever, but very well could have
caused damage to Eichenlaub's
case in the eyes of the board.
Nardi then continued to spout
forth words of knowledge such
as, "A student's, behavior is
collective," and that he gave
the punishment because he felt,
Eichenlaub's actions were
"Serious enough to warrant that
type of action." However, I fail
to see the logic. If students'
behavior is in fact collective
why then did Nardi give
disciplinary probation to
Eichenlaub and only a warning
to the other people in the room
who were drinking ¦the same
, ¦' " ¦;
thing.... ' .;.
Now tne Doard "waritear to
know if warnings are usually
given before probation. Nardi
said there is no sequence and so
he was justified in the punishment given At this point, the
board seemed to be of the
opinion that Eichenlaub should
have received a warning.
However, Kathy Renjiak , the
busted
the R.A.
that
scholarship. " I would too in
view of the fact that the
scholarship is given by the
financial aid sub-committee of
CGA and the Dean has nothing
to say about to whom the
scholarship should be given.
But, the board still wasn't sure
about the exact nature of the
punishment and began to
discuss this again until board

Eichenlaub, noted that since afll
of the persons in a co-ed dorm
are upper classmen that they
were aware of the policies in
-the dorm which warranted her
giving everyone a warning at
the beginning of the year.
Maybe Renjiak was either
trying to save herself or Nardi
some embarrassment but it was
a bad move in vieW of the fact
that Joe Vaughn, Eichenlaub's
advisor, pointed out that she
had given a warning in absence;
of a violation. Not very;
equitable is it? Nardi then
pointed out that no formal
warning had been given at the
beginning of the year and so
again a statement which had no
relevance to the case was admitted, which could have been
very damaging to Eichenlaub's
case.
Now that the case was again
moving in Eichenlaub's favor
Nardi felt the necessity to again
go after him by saying that
student leaders should not
deviate from college policy,
which should have been
phrased, "Student leaders don't
drink, at least in the dorm."
Again, an invalid and irrelevant
point of information. However,
he tricked Eichenlaub into
making a serious mistake when
he asked Mulhern if he ever
drank on campus. Fortunately,
Mulhern didn 't answer the
question but later commented
on the side that the only time he
drank oh campus was at the
PresidentVTiouse.
Again the board got into the
bullshit about drinking until
Vaughn, who had been quiet for
mosit""" of" the;' •fifearing; ' 'asiradf ;
Nardi if he had issued only
warnings on similar charges.
Nardi had no choice but to
answer that he had, but quickly
"The
cirinterjected ,
cumstances were a lot different," yet another invalid and
possibly damaging comment.
THE DECISION OR
LACK OF IT
At this point the board made
its first major decision of the
hearing. Williams announced
that they would break until
Dean Carlson could run outside
and return with a new tape.
(The entire hearing was tape
recorded. ) After the break
Norton popped in and the board
was off and running again.
Basically, it was the same
schtick as bef ore except that
Norton said he wouldhave had
Ike thrown out of the dorm, for
committing such a vicious
crime. But the board had heard

Off oii a tangent
Ike vs. Norton
A story of BSCV
jud icialprocess inaction
by DALE MYERS
For the first time in a long
time, the President's appelate
Board met last Thursday to
review the appeal of a BSC
student claiming that he had
received unjust punishment
after being cited for a drinking
violation in the dorm last
February. The trial, if I may be
so bold as to call it that, would
have been cs boring as a Board
of Trustees meeting had not the
prurient interests of the student
been the . major topic of
discussion. This seemed rather
ironic in light of the true purpose for which the board met,
that being to discuss and decide
whether or not the punishment
leveled on the student was too
harsh.
THE STORY
Last
February, . John
Eichenlaub, President of the
Junior Class was nabbed
drinking in the dorm and at a
hearing in front of Ed Nardi,
dean of Montour Hall , was
placed
on
disciplinary
probation. This sounds simple
enough except that the consequences of this action in
Eichenlaub's case, were
monumental. When placed on
probation , Eichenlaub was
stripped of his office as Junior
Class President, member of
CGA, member of the Union
Governing Board, and last but
certainly not least a CGA
scholarship playing to the tune
of 200 smackers. This certainly
doesn't sound like probation in
view of the fact most of
Eichenlaub's reputation may
have flown out the window right
after his offices.
Ironically enough Eichenlaub
admitted to the board that he
was guilty of the charge, but
concentrated on emphasizing
all the wonderful things he has
done on the campus rather than
getting to the real issue, which
he claims was undue punishment and harassment by
Robert Norton, Dean of Student
Life. Eichenlaub even had the
guts to assert that Norton might
have pressured Nardi into the
decision
of
levelling
disciplinary probation against
Eichenlaub ; a valid comment in
light of Eichenlaub's previous
confrontations with Norton and
the fact that Eichenlaub
revealed at the hearing that
Norton visited the financial aid
office three times during the
week before Eichenlaub lost his
CGA scholarship,J
wmmm ^^
~~~-
THE CASE
After milling about on the
details of something which
amounted to no more than a
simple booze party, board
chairman, William Williams,
special advisors to the
President, finally steered the
board and Eichenlaub in the
direction of the actual reason
for the meeting which is to find
out if Eichenlaub's punishment
was, in fact , too harsh.
Everybody there knew he had a
party in his room, along with
the select few who were there,
but I guess most the board
wanted to hear' about it just
because they missed it.
Finally, the board got to the
issue. Eichenlaub- called on
Bruce DeHaven to explain one
of the instances in which Norton
had supposedly harassed
Eichenlaub. I'm sure we all
remember the SophomoreJunior banquet where the big
question was whether or not the
college council could provide
buses to the Sheraton for those
who didn 't have a ride.
Somehow the administration
(aka) Norton et. al. couldn't get
this through their heads and
maintained that the only reason
Eichenlaub and De Haven
asked for buses was so that kids
could
consume
demon
beverage, get plastered out
their minds and not have to
drive home. Thus council
believed the interpretation of
Eichenlaub and gave them the
buses. This move was later
vetoed by President McCormick.
However, Norton got so upset
that council even passed the
motion that he confronted
Eichenlaub and DeKaven after
the meeting where DeHaven
recalled that , "Dean (Norton 's
nickname) was shouting at
Ike," and "I could really tell
the tensions between the two."
Offering his own evaluation
DeHaven claimed, "I don't
think there was just cause for
the way Dean Norton behaved."
God be praised ! That's one of
the very few times I've ever
heard a student publically say
that an administrator might be
wrong. Finally the board was on
the right track , but somehow
they managed to get back to the
details of the booze violation.
After about twenty minutes of
sputtering about exactly what
kind of drinks they had and how

curred in some other way,
resulting in a situation that
could possibly change related
events.
For example, suppose the
Viking I, in taking pictures of
Mars surface, had discovered a
McDonald's Big Mac container
on the planet? Or still more
puzzling, what if its cameras
had revealed a pair of ruby
slipper-clas feet sticking out
from beneath the lander?
Other things to consider are,
what if:
— the nation 's capital had
been moved from Washington,
D.C. to Espy, Pa.?
— New Jersey declared war
on Pennsylvania?
— Big Foot was; really a
Russian plot to involve our
scientists in worthless study?
Or what if:
— bomb scares were as funny
as some think they are?
— guerillas were really hairy
animals that fought in wars?
—those thought to be insane
were really the ones who were
sane and vice versa?
— all of this was just a
figment of our imaginations?
Those seem a bit on the
bizarre side and probably will
never become reality .... or will
they?
However, there are other
questions that I wonder about.
Those are questions which have
a better chance of being true
than the ones above. In fact they
can be considered as very likely
to happen. I wonder if:
— people really throw shoes
at noisey cats on fences at
night?
— levelheadedness went out
with the flattop haircut?
— anyone has ever walked a
mile for a pack of Camels?
— anyone has ever hummed
the tune 'Melancholy Baby '?
— anyone has ever heard the
tune 'Melancholy Baby '?
^
Or if:
t — anyone knows what the
tune 'Melancholy Baby ' is?
— anyone knows what a tune
is?
(Sorry, I lost my head)
But most of all, I wonder if
anyone will ever read this
ridiculous column in its entirety.. If you have, you may be
alone.

shitless.
I placed a call to the
Psychology Department of
Miskatonic in Arkham. Anderson wasn't there, and for a
good reason — he was dead.
He'd been killed two weeks
before in a rather peculiar auto
accident. What was so odd
about the wreck? Oh, nothing if
you 're in the habit of going
around with no breakes and a
faulty steering linkage on your
car. Foul play? You bet your
sweet Austin!
Didn't realize all this was
possible, did you? Here it was —
a real live war between good
and evil, and it was happening
right here on our own campus.
It was a war alright, and Myers
and I were soldiers —
minutemen to be exact — and
we were headed towards a
conflict few on the face of the
Earth have conceived, let alone
participated in. We were cosmic
crusaders.
To manage our crusade an
intelligence network called the
Students Cosmic Awareness
Group, or SC AG, was created .
SC AG took charge of gathering
all available information on the
Elder Gods and thier minions.
Our report was sent to both
CGA and the Commonwealth
Association of Students. Pierce
Atwater , renounned student
activist, and Tom Mulhern ,
CGA president, met with us at
Atwater's West Main apartment.
All these years students had
been sitting on a psychic
powerkeg — which was sooner
or late going to need defusing,
and that time was soon , far too
soon for those of us that had to
do it. Pierce Atwater made a
point that sorely hit home.
Somewhere in the midst of
conversation we got on the
subject of student activism.
"Have you ever noticed how
the same damn people are
always getting involved? Look
at this meeting for example:
everybody here has been doing
student government work, or
else on the newspaper staff .
Where are the bastards we do
all this for? Haven't they been
reading your column, Daryl?"
I took a sip of the beer Pierce
had thoughtfully, provided , and
shrugged. "They think I'm
crazy," I confessed, and they
regard what I've written as
bujlshit." It was no trouble
figuring out where Atwater was
coming from . He was getting
disillusioned ; a point I reached
early in college life ; at the who
gives a f--k attitude of the
student body.
That was a problem that
would always be with us while
the matter of the Elder Gods
was a more immediate concern.
Our plan was father simple:
find out who the followers of the
evil ones were and suround
their unholy sabbath grounds
with high-power by. portable
plifiers powered by portable
generators. Those with CB
radios would use their PA mode
and join in an incantation
seeking the aid of mighty
Kthanid once more. If the attempt was successful we would
have destroyed a heinous
threat. If not, no degree of
imagination was necessary to
surmise what they would do to
us...

WOMEN AND PROTEST...Rose Dalton spoke to women
interested in pulling their resources to improve conditions
and opportunities available to women. (Photo by Palmer)
Dalton stresses
resourcefniness
by VICKIE MEARS
Rose Dalton, firm-spoken and direct with an optimism in
women and a strong dislike for the conditions and opportunities
available for women, was guest speaker to BSC, April 18 & 19. She
spoke on the history of women.
"There is power in organization and movement," Dalton
stressed, "As a group, the administration listens. If you try to
deal with problems alone you get nowhere."
In 1967, after the Rebellion in Detroit, Michigan, to Dalton's role
as housewife and iriother was added another dimension — a
search for self-fulfillment and autonomy plus ah intense desire to
ibev effective as a career person.
, This desire for effectiveness lead her to Southern Oregon State
College to gain her B.S. in Political Science and her M.A. in
Psychological Counseling.
Dalton organized Women in Transition at SOSC with her focus
on helping women returning to college.
Organizing took time and energy on Dalton 's part. She started
out with a desk and signs promoting her cause. She availed
herself as a resource person and also encouraged women to make
decisions, while educating the community & the college. Together
these women decided on their political aspirations.
Asked her opinion of BSC women, Dalton saw some of the individual women as "typical warm, active, interested, willing to
share", however ,, also "shy and unsure". Dalton sees that the
women here are looking to be educated and academically, the
management is not helping.
A recourse in identifying the problemsan d solving them may be
found in collective action of these women and using the resources
of sortie of the counselors: "You need services in assertiveness
and job-seeking skills, career and vocational guidance, peer
counseling, rap groups, as well as educational workshops on
various types of problems. "
"Students seem to foget that college is supposed to be a testing
ground for learning to make decisions," Dalton pointed out, "You
are employers! The administration and faculty are employed by
YOU ! Demand to be ta ught what YOU want."
Dalton 's overall view of women today as opposed to the past is
that "We should be in a better place..a strongerrole, but we're
hot. Mobility choices, and freedom are better than they were, but
so many women are not informed."
"We have not come a long way baby...Women are still critical
of themselves and of each other becausethey continue to play the
role of product and compete for top position by gaining the favor
of
Jl Imen."

(continued from page two>
many people were there they
decided that Eichenlaub and his
roommate did have a party,
which we already knew at the
beginning of the meeting.
Eichenlaub then managed to
get back to the real subject and
continued to discuss Norton's
conduct whenji e asked to appeal Nardi's decision to put him
on disciplinary probation .
Eichenlaub stated that he went
to Norton's office where the
Dean denied his request for an
appeal . The only grounds
Norton had were that, -'I hate to
put it this way, but there are
good leaders in prison too." As
if Haldeman and Erlichman
and maybe even Nixon were
good leaders. At this point most
of the board members raised an
eyebrow , but again moved
away from the harassment onto
a discussion of the panalty
which oddly enough had to be
read to Nardi from The Pilot.
A DECISION
IN THE MAKING?
Finally the board decided to
discuss whether or not
disciplinary probation was too
harsh a punishment for a very
involved Eichenlaub who lost
all of his offices as a result of
the punishment. After a long
discussion over exactly what
the punishment encompasses,
Williams finally asked Tom
Mulhern, CGA president, if
Student Life, or Norton if you
prefer, had the right to take
away the 200 bucks. Mulhern
responded, "I would seriously
challenge Dean 's (Norton 's)
right to take away the
scholarship." I would too in
view of the fact that the
scholarship is given by the
financial aid sub-committee of
CGA and the Dean has nothing
to say about to whom the
scholarship should be given.
But, the board still wasn't sure
about the exact nature of the
punishment and began to
discuss this again until board
member, Norman Hilgar, asked
if there was a precedent, or a
previous case with similar
circumstances where the
punishment was either more or
less severe.
Bravo!Finally, the board was
beginning to get to the heart of
the matter. Nardi responded to
this by saying he didn't know of
that usually
any, but
disciplinary probation or
removal from the dorm are the
sanctions which are levelled.
Obviously Nardi chose to forget
about the verbal and written
warnings for offenses stated in
The Pilot.
Williams
then
asked
Eichenlaub if .Jie had ever
received a warning for alcohol
and Eichenlaub stated that he
had not. However, Nardi was
quick enough to point out that
Eichenlaub had received a
written warning for a visitation
violation , which had no
relevance to the case whatsoever, but very well could have
caused damage to Eichenlaub's
case in the eyes of the board.
Nardi then continued to spout
forth words of knowledge such
as, "A student's, behavior is
collective," and that he gave
the puaishment because he felt_
Eichenlaub's actions were
"Serious enough to warrant that
type of action." However, I fail
to see the logic. If students'
behavior is in fact collective
why then did Nardi give
disciplinary probation to
Eichenlaub and only a warning
to the other people in the room
who were drinking the same
thing.
/•.
_ Now the; board wantea to
know if warnings are usually
given before probation. Nardi
said there is no sequence and so
he was justified in the punishment given At this point, the
board seemed to be of the
opinion that Eichenlaub should
have received a warning.

Rich Salmon (Jr.) — Yes, I do
think that a per-capita tax
should be paid by BSC students
who dwell in town limits if they
have not done so in there home

for 9 months out of the year and

Ruth Rappaport (Soph.) — I

ridiculous because the college

it's unnecessary to tax the

by EILEEN CALLAHAN
The administration has found
a solution to the state money —
or lack of state money — affecting students receiving the
state financial aid packet.
At a CGA meeting held
Monday night Robert L. Duncan , Director of Financial Aid,
presented members with a
memorandum containing facts
regarding student financial aid
for 1976-77.
The memorandum , put
togetherby Dr. Gerrold Girffis,
gave a step by step reason for
the lack of necessary state
funds to complete the 76-77
fiscal year.
The basic reasons for the
financial crunch, according to
the information in the packet,
are the large numbers of
students on the state payroll
and the orders of the federal
auditors to be more careful of
overawarding aid.
While trying to explain this
financial dry up, Duncan kept
emphasizing the fact that this
year there were more state
dollars available to students
then ever before. He ran
through the memorandum,
alluding to the solution to this
problem that has plagued
students with state paid jobs
since March 24.
The solution boils down to
this: state hours will remain cut
in half for the rest of the
semester ; all nonessential and
not needy student personnel
who have lost their jobs due to
the crunch will not bo returned
to the payroll.
A CGA . member asked
Duncan how students can be
reclassified as non-essential
and not needy. In essence,
Duncan replied "that is a
practice of the financial aid
office. "
He was.asked if this financial
crunch, which has placed some
students in an uncomfortable
position financially, can be
avoidedin the future . He replied
that these types of problems
cannot be predicted, by his
office.

Gi bson asses ses poli tical decisions
by LOUIS HUNSINGER
"It's time for politicians to
quit making decisions that are
dictated by their reelection
chances and start making
decisions that deal effectively
with our present day crises,"
Hated Mayor Kenneth Gibson of
Hewark, New Jersey, on April
If, who was sponsored by the
BSC Human Relations Committee.
Gibson spoke of
President Carter 's proposed
Energy Plan. "President
Carter told me in a meeting at
the White House last week that
he expected his popularity to
dip as much as fifteen points
because of his plan , but that
tough measures were needed in
dealing with the energy crisis. "
Gibson agreed that tough
measures were needed but that
Carter 's energy plan did not go
far enough. He said that a five
cent increase in gas taxes would
not decrease gas consumption
when Americans are willing to
spend outrageous prices for
coffee, which is something that
people don't need.
"I think the biggest problem
involved in the energy crisis
right now is the fact that most
Americans don't realize that we
do have an energy crisis and
that it's not just going to go
away and it will increase in the
future," declared Gibson. He
continue d , "I think our
government has the resources
at its disposal to deal with this
crisis but Americans are going
to have to start making a lot of
unpopular sacrifices. "
He talked of his background
and why he got into politics. "I

Wasted space?
by JAY JONES
The past several years have seen a steady increase
in enrollment here at BSC and its now getting
to the p ointwherepeopleare beginning to wonder where all the
classroom space is going to come from , space we really could use
right now but will be a definite necessity in just a few years. The
Fall of '70 saw an enrollment here of 4,030 students, in 1973 that
had jumped to 4652 and this past Fall there were a total of 5451 of
us here at BSC. But available classroom space has remained
virtually the sante.
One of the natural consequences of a lack of space is that people
begin to look around for things that can be moved or done away
with altogether to make room. And, of course, one of the first
things to be spotted was the room on the first floor of Bakeless
now being used as headquarters for the Columbia County
Historical Society . People began to ask why they are up h ere at
BSC and not downtown or , more simply; "when are they
leaving? " ;
The fact is the Historical Society and BSC do have tentative
plans to part company possibly in about a year or a little more.
The final time really depends on thosein change of setting up the
Spqeties future home downtown, when they consider the building
ready for the move and also when all the legal ramifications have
been settled between the Society and the school. The Historical
Society first moved up here in 1970 giving both a home baseto the
Society and an excellent source of historical information for
Blooms students. A contract was drawn up stipulating that
whateverparty wants to break the agreement must give the other
two years notification .
The Histocial Societies planned future home is that of Mr.
Barton , a BSC alumni and originator of the Society, who is
planning on using his home as sort of a museum and historical
center with the inside looking like a home of the 1870's. There are
still many moves to be made yet however, for example some way
must be thought of to give the place an annual operating budget,
how to keep the museum staffed ( volunteer or paid?) and is there
any work to be done to the house before it can be moved into?
Once everyone of these questions are answered then the
Historical Societies move from campus to downtown will take
place. Students will still be free to use the facilities at the home.
Yet moving the Historical Society off campus is in no way going
to help the approaching critical space problem. It's really rough
now but in a few semesters its going to be hideous. Right now
there are only two ways to alleviate the shortage: students must
take more early morning classes (an almost impossibleidea) and
somehow House Bill 1833 must get passed so BSC, can get the
proposed Human Services Center constructed. Those two actions,
especially the latter, will help to stop the space problem. Until
then be prepared to be taking some of your classesin a few closets
or coal bins.
KENNETH A. GIBSON...spoke to students and faculty on
tho docision making process employed by politicians.' He
cited his experiences as mayor of Newark , New Jersey.

civil rights movement and I got
more and more involved in
politics until 1966..wheh I ran as
a reform candidate for mayor. I
finished third in a field of six but
I realized that my chances
might be better four years later
so I ran in 1970 and won.
He mentioned that he has
utilized youth in his administration , having recruited
some of his administrators from
colleges and universities. One of
his recruits is serving as
Director of Finance , while
another is serving as Director of
the Redevelopment Authority,
both of these people are still in
their twenties. He heartily
endorses youth in government;
"Youth can bring such a
refreshing outlook on government. No problem or goal is
unattainable for them."
Gibson is suing the federal
Census Bureau because they
made a mistake in counting
Newark' s population. The
mistake cost Newark a considerable amount of federal
funding, but the Census Bureau
admits their error .
"Newark is nowhere near
bankruptcy and doesn't intend
to be," stated Gibson about
Newark's fiscal condition. He
said, however, that there is
somewhat of a problem with
Newark's tax base when 60
percent of the city's land area is
tax-exempt.
"There seems to be an Archie
Bunker - like mood of intolerance of minorities and
ethnics in this country and I
think it is very dangerous and
self-destructive." stated Gibson.
Gibson finishedby saying that
he has no thoughts of seeking
higher political office. Gibson
said, "I have no gubernatorial
aspirations in New Jersey."
Outcome , to be a liberal
by JAY ROCHELLE
The biggest outcome of a
liberal education may well be
the ability to reflect on your own
reflection. There is a .good form
of power in the ability to control
the way you think about things:
no longer at the mercy of your
thoughts, there is a discipline
and a logic to the way you think.
You are capable of filtering out
opinion from knowledge. A
prioritizing goes on which
suggests, for example, that
faced with an electric canopener you might wonder why
anyone bothered to make such a
thing and what is said about
values in contemporary
culture ; you move beyond
utility to questions of meaning.
You might begin to wonder
about the prejudices you have
been taught and think them
through in such a way that you
understand how they cripple
you as a person. There is, thus
an academic equivalent to the
search for the truth which
makes free.
A second major outcome is
knowledge of the limits to
reason. I would call this the
threshold'to wonder and along
with it goes the knowledge*that
the simple aspects of life yield,
upon discovery, to the quite
profound. You struggle with
language, bending and shaping
and molding and cajoling it to
fit as a medium for communicating ideas and symbols,
signs and wonders, so that the
miracle of one mind touching
another can happen. I would
like to hope that along with this
goes, also, the knowledge that to
challenge someone's idea does
not mean to destroy that other
as a person, and the other way
round. And that, to truly touch
another, you may have to move
beyond words to sighs and
smiles, tears and laughter, and
a caring touch,
A third major outcome is the
ability to relate ideas to one
another so as to build a holistic
framework which to approach
life and see the world. To fill
in the blanks without
throwing away any of the
pieces. To overcome the kind of
mental compartmentalization,
for example, which might be
tempted to hold a conservative
religious belief in creation in
one corner and a knowledge of
the theory of evolution in
another, never allowing them to
mix or permeate each other
under the hazy belief that they
contradict or undermine each
other. A number ot viewpoints
are allowed to enter your mind,
without personal threat, and
rattle round while you synthesize them.
Lastly, there is a sense of
gracious movement: a dance of
the mind in time, Aside from the
accumulation of facts which my
friend, David Lots, calls "less a
Part 3
virture than a duty ", there is
need to get hold" of the fundamental idea of movement in
time, of the constant change of
history
and
historical
phenomena. Personally, it
means that the level of intellectual attainment of one age
is not to be thrown away in
moving to the next; the whole
movement of the mind is to be
seen as a process. This opens up
learning as an art form to be
used rather than a set of facts to
be mastered, and allows for —
no calls for — constant growth.
There may be a sense of
exasperation in never "having
it all together", but that's lifein
a very real sense and the liberal
thinker affirms that kind of
movement as both creative and
grace-filled.
I suppose anyone could ask,
"what difference does it make if
I function this way?" and I am
reduced to a subj ective answer.
Over the long haul of life it
appears that this way of approachinglearning opens life up
to more depth than a
mechanistic or t«r»hnical
to
approach
knowledge, that perhaps this
kind of movement leads to
wisdom in the, long run. I could
be wrong; but then again this
approach to education has
always been, in a sense, an act
of faith ; no less so today than in
its historical development,

enough and decided to
deliberate on the matter and
hand down a decision the next
day. The amazing thing that
occurred next is tragic and yet
comic. The highest judicial
body on this campus, that being
the President's appellate board
decided to return the decision
making responsibility to the
campus judicial board, where it
should have been in the first
place.
THE COMMENT
This farcical hearing may not
seem like much, or sound like
much, but don't let that fool you.
The time these people spent
interrogating Eichenlaub may
as well have been spent at a bar
or maybe even in Ike's room. In
other words, it accomplished
absolutely nothing, which leads
me to believe that there is no
valid judicial process ion this
campus.
Primarily, the process, by
which the appeal was made was
wrong. The campus judicial
board should have heard the
appeal before the President's
Appellate Board ever met.
Eichenlaub tried to do it this
way, but Norton and Nardi
denied his right to appeal to the
campus
judicial
board
requiring him to go to the higher
board for a decision which he
would never receive. Was it
because Norton felt that
Eichenlaub had no valid basis to

Awards Convocation
Penn coach Daly to speak Sun
Chuck Daly, head basketball
coach at the University of
Pennsylvania, returns to his
alma mater of Bloomsburg
State College to be the featured
speaker at the eighth annual
Awards Convocation to be held
this Sunday, April 24, in Haas
Center for the Arts at 2:00 P.M.
A 1952 graduate of Bloomsburg State College, Daly has
been acclaimed as the most
successful coach in the 75 years
of basketball at the University
of Pennsylvania. He has the
best winning percentage (.766,
125-38) , has won the most Big
Five titles (three), has taken
Penn to more NCAA tournaments (four ) , and ranks
Second only to Lon Jourdet in
the number of Ivy titles , won
(six to four) . He has accomplished all of these
remarkable records since 1971
when he was appointed head
coach at the 'University of
Pennsylvania. During his initial
year at Penn, he won Eastern
Coach of the Year honors as his
team finished first in the East
and third nationally.
As an undergraduate student
at Bloomsburg, Coach Daly
participated extensively in
student activities. Among other
activities, he played varsity
basketball for three seasons and
was a member of the track
team, the Varsity Club, the
sports staff of The Maroon and
Gold, and Sigma Alpha Eta
(professional speech and
hearing fraternity) . As a
secondary education major , he
prepared himself to teach in
three disciplines — speech
correction, English, and social
studies.
After graduating from
Bloomsburg , Coach Daly
served in the armed forces for
two years before beginning his
coaching career at Punxsutawney High School in 1955.
Judicial inaction
(continued .from page seven )
appeal? Was it because he
received just punishment fronr
Nardi? Or, was it because
Norton knew that if the case
went to the campus J-Board
Eichenlaub would have been
judged by his peers (Fellow
students) and he had a good
chance of winning the appeal?
The important thing here is
that the campus judicial
process was interrupted by an
administrator (Norton) who
had or has no right to do such a*
thing. Why even have a campus
judicial board made up of
students if someone from the
administration is going to
decide whether or not they
should meet? It certainly seems
to me that the students should
be deciding that.
The ultimate tragedy of this
whole case is that this college
has engaged in a gross violation
of student and yes, Constitutional rights. Eichenlaub,
although off probation as a
result of Thursday's hearing
was on proba tion during the
course of his appeal . Simply
stated, he was guilty until
proven innocent.
Had Eichenlaub been allowed
to have a lawyer, the hearing
could have been more
respectable and probably more
furitful. But, the Pilot only
allows him to have a faculty
advisor. The administration can
use a lawyer , (Williams) why
i
shouldn't the student be able to
have one? Perhaps, this might
eliminate irrelevant and
damaging testimony and keep
the campus judicial process
consistent with the process used
in the outside world.
The last apparent and most
blatent item is that an administrator (Norton ) . has
overstepped His bounds. He
seems to be responsible for the
loss of the scholarship and also
for the fact that the campus
judicial board , which should
have heard the case, never met.
But now they have to hear the
case after a higher board
couldn't make a decision. I
seriously doubt that the
Supreme Court would send a
case to Columbia county court if
they couldn't make a decision.
The whole system is inequitable
and meaningless, as a result of
Eichenlaub's case. It wasn't the
case of a student cited for
drinking. Many students are
caught drinking in the dorm,
more than once during the
course of a year and never
receive anything harsher than a
verbal warning. But , on to the
read issue because the drinking
is irrelevant, Eichenlaub's case
shows a relentless bias on the
part of student life to hang a
student's ass above the
"Wisdom is the furit of
knowledge, " placard which
rests above thej .entrance to Ben
Franklin (home of student life.)

eves.
He later served as assistant
coach at Duke University for six
years and, prior to his appointment at Penn, was head
coach at Boston College for two
years. His college record for
seven years is 151-62.
Coach Daly holds a master's
degree in educational administration from the Pennsylvania State University. He is
a member of the National
Association of Basketball
Coaches and serves on its
Convention Planning Committee and its Public Relations
Committee.
In recognition of his astute
knowledge of the game, he was
selected as a member of UPFs
Board , which picks the top ten
teams in the nation on a weekly
basis. It is also noteworthy that
he has his own weekly radio
show in New York which is
heard over eighty radio
stations.
Coach Daly and his wife ,
Terry, also a BSC alumna, are
the parents of a daughter ,
Cydney. The Daly family
resides in Cherry Hill, New \
Jersey.
Two late inning rallies
lift BSC nine to sweep
by AL SCHOCH
Eight errors by the Bloomsburg State baseball team
couldn't stop the Huskies on
Tuesday as Clark Boler's nine
swept Lock Haven, 11-10 and 3-2
in nine innings. ,r
The opener started out rocky
for Huskies. Lock Haven scored
three times in the first inning off
starter Bruce "Boomer "
Wilson. After Bloomsburg tied
the score in the second, Lock
Haven aided by two Husky
errors, scored four more times.
The Huskies didn't let up. After
scoring once in the fourth, they
crossed the plate four times in
the next inning to take an 8-7
lead.
Each team scored single runs
in the sixth and seventh, and
BSC held a 10-9 lead. But Lock
Haven knotted the score off
reliever Joe Turri, setting the
stage for the bottom of the
ninth. Tom Fulton's single, the
third straight hit for the Huskies
in the inning, scored Bob
Stackhouse to give the Huskies
the win. Jeff Long, Mensinger,
Gerald Jakubas, and Ken Miller
each had two runs batted in.
Long, Mensinger, and Scott
Vercoe all had two hits.
The second game turned out
to be a pitchers duel.
Stackhouse and Miller put the
Huskies up 2-0 with RBI singles
in the second and third . Lock
Haven came back to tie the
game in the fourth on a single
by Joe Martin, a triple by Tom
Washabaugh, and a single by
Chuck Garrett . Huskies relief
pitcher Brad Moharder kept
Lock Haven off the boards the
rest of the way, limiting the
Eagles to one hit, while striking
out three,in four and two-tliirds
innings.
It was the bottom of the ninth
when the Huskies broke the ice.
With Miller on second base and
The double win by Huskies
upped their 1977 record to 6 wins
and 7 losses. The next game for
the Huskies will be tomorrow at

doubleheader.
two outs, Bill Pennesi ripped a
single to chase home the winning run.
Cortland , ES beat
women 's track team
by HOLLY MILLER
The Women's track team
brought home a defeat on
Monday, but gained confidence
for their next meet on Wednesday against Mansfield, Lock
Haven and possibly Indiana and
Buckhell.
Monday 's track meet was on
East Stroudsburg's home track
along with Courtland State from
New York. Carole Krause, Jr.
brought the Huskies their only
first place in the entire meet
which was in the 110 yard
hurdles with a time oji" 17.5.
However, Sharon Petrusnek, a
sophomore, took a second place
in the 220 with a time of 28.8 and
a fourth place in the 100-yard
dash with a decent time of 12.7,
Coach Cobrain feels even
though the score showed a
lopsided edge for their opponents, the team used this as a
tremendous learning experience. Coach Cobrain is
proud of the women and
believes their "best asset is
their enthusiasm and closeness
as a team."
Improvement was seen in
Margie Gehringer in the
quarter mile with a time of 69.0,
which is 8.0 seconds off of her
old time. Another to show improvement is Barb Cantrelle in
the mile with a time of 6.38.2.
This is 40 seconds off of her old
time. The 440 relay team took a
second with a time of 55.5. The
relay team consists of Carole
Krause , Sharon Petrusnek ,
Melody Lowry and Alison
Watts.
As for a preprediction of their
meet on Wednesday, Coach
Cobrain indicated that it is
impossible to do so, since they
know little about these teams.
Nevertheless, she confirms that
the confidence gained on
Monday should show marked
improvement by the women.

CCAA
Academic standing
policies reviewed
A proposal for a new academic standing policy, approval
of a library book and materials
selection policy, approval of a
film-loaning policy and approval of a statement of
philosophy concerning intercollegiate athletics were
conducted at a recent meeting
of the Coordinating Committee
on Academic Affairs last
Tuesday.
Scott
Wetzel , student
member, presented a report by
a subcommittee, consisting of
him, Cathy Lucrezi, student
member , Dr. Emily A.
Reuwsaat, professor of special
education, and Dr. Ann Marie
Noakes, associate professor of
elementary education , concerning a new policy on
academic standing.
According to the old policy, a
student is either in good standing or on academic probation.
To determine this, a guide-line
was used. Students with up to 18
semester hours were required
to maintain a cumulative
average of 1.25 or higher, 19-30
semester hours required 1.50 or
higher, 31-54 semester hours
required 1.75 or higher and 55
and above semester hours
required an average of 2.0 or
higher. Below the required
cumulative average would
place the student on academic
p r o b a t i o n . (A c a d e m i c
probation means that the
student has the following
semester to bring his - her
cumulative average to the
desired level. If the average is
not raised, the student is expelled.)
This policy has one major
drawback. Although the student
may be in good standing at the
present moment, he - she might
have to raise their cum a great
deal higher for the future , As
graduation nears, the total four
year average must be 2.0 or
higher! Most students are
unaware of this fact, which
causes problems at graduation.
The student usually has to
appeal his case to the probation
board if his - her cum is below
that one required for
gra duation .
, ,
"WARNING DEVICE"
The new policy is arranged as
a "warning device," according
to Noakes. According to the new
policy, a cumulative average of
2.0 or higher will be used as a
measure of good standing,
regardless of the number of
semester hours. However, the
old guide-lino to cut off students
for academic probation will still
be used. An addition to the
policy is that students falling
between a 2.0 cum and the cutoff for probation would be
labeled as having minimal
satisfactory progress towards
academic good standing. For
example, a student with 31
semester hours and a
cumulative average of 1.75
would fall under this category.
If the student falls below 1.75 he
is on academic probation .
However, if he raises it to 2.0 or
higher, he is in good standing.
Dr. Lynn A. Watson ,
professor of elementary
education, suggested tabling
the policy until the next
meeting.His reason was that he
felt the members should review
the policy and further research
it. His motion was passed.
"EXCESS LIBRARY
MATERIAL
Noakes presented a policy on
the selection of library books
and materials. The reason for
the policy was that there is a
space problem in Andruss
Library. This is mostly due to
the fact that there are many
multiple copies of books and
materials which are seldom
used. The new policy states that
these excess supplies would be
stored and the school depart-
CGA
ments would be notified in order
to give them access to the
materials in case they would be
needed. The "weeding policy"
is a national library policy
developed by professional
librarians which is in existence
at the present time in many
libraries. CCAA accepted and

Tuition in the Pennsylvania State College system will most
likely see an increase between $200 and $250 for the 1977-78
academic year and Mulhern feels this is because "the legislators
have felt no pressures from the students. "
Both House and Senate budget appropriations committeeshave
decided not to ask for a general tax increase for Pennsylvania
residents which will force a cutback in higher education funds to
173 million dollars. This proposal is $5 million less than what the
governors budget called for. '
The State College and University Directors Board (SCUD)
called for a 190 million dollar appropriation in order to maintain
the systems at their present standards. The $17 million dollar
difference must be made with a tuition increase which will
amount to approximately $250 per student.
PHEAA grants are not going to be increased to compensate
therefore up to 2,000students will be forced to drop out of school.
This figure comes from a recent study initiated by SCUD. The
results show that for each one per cent increase in tuition, one per
cent of the students will be forced to withdraw
¦ from college due to
financial inefficiencies.
. - . ¦ ',
These proposals have only been passed in the appropriation
committees and are subject to approval by the full body of
congress. The no-tax policy and the cut in higher education
monies "is not final, although likely", said Tom Mulhern, CGA
president
. "
The collegesystem, on the other hand may not even receive$173
million. An appropriation increaseof 1-3 per cent oyer last year 's
$168 million is expected.
Service cuts coupled with a tuition increase of a lesser degree
have also been discussed as an alternative. This obviously would
mean a cutback in the present faculty, staff, and student services.
Mulhern feels "there has to be a consciousness raised", along
with total student support for the activities of the Commonwealth
Association of Students to fight this impending tuition increase.

R eward for bomb scare info

CGA passed a motion at
Monday night's meeting to offer
a $500 reward to anyone who has
information that would lead to
the arrest and conviction of the
person or persons responsible
for the recent bomb threats.
CGA also moved to pass a
motion to strongly urge the
faculty and administration to
match this reward.
Dr. Frank Davis, Assistant
Vice President of Administration, stated that the
faculty is offering $250 out of
their budget for a reward. Davis
also stated there are some
impending arrests, however he
was not at liberty to discuss
this.

Mulhern stated that there is
no sympathy in Harrisburg.
Students are urged to help fight
this by joining CAS and writing
letters to Congressmen. There
will be a rally held on April 27
against the tuition hike.
Students are also urged to attend this.
Jill Sanderlin, a member of
CGA , requested support
of CGA in her discrimination
suit against Mrs. Betty
Heinaker. Sanderlin > rented an
apartment from Reinaker last
summer and when Sanderlin
requested to rent it for the fall
semester Mrs. Reinaker said it
was already being rented. Later
Sanderlin saw a notice that it
was for rent but when she went
back to rent it she was told she
could not.
Sanderlin 's case will be held
on April 20 in Harrisburg and
she requested some CGA
members to go with her. CGA
passed a motion to support her,
however a motion to allocate $50
for expenses was defeated.
Bill Boyer, CGA treasurer,
reported that the Arcus
Brothers ' refrigerator case is
closed,
The
Consumer
Protection Agency has dropped
the case. They could find no
legal grounds because they
could not prove that Arcus
Brothers knew college policy.
A motion was passed to
allocate a $300 gift to the Town
Park . Every year the Town
Park Commission solicits
patrons from organizations for
contributions. Since students
use the park's summer
programs CGA voted to pass the
motion.
A request for $300 additional
funds ,for the men 's basketball
budget for recruiting purposes
was denied because they were
allocated a budget for the year
and exasted it.
Quest's request of the use of
the CGA vans for the summer
was passed. CGA allocated'
emergency funds of $79.30 to the.

Off on a tangent
Ike vs. Norton
A story of BSC's
judicialprocess inaction
by DALE MYERS
For the first time in a long
time, the President's appelate
Board met last Thursday to
review the appeal of a BSC
student claiming that he had
received unjust punishment
after being cited for a drinking
violation in the dorm last
February. The trial , if I may be
so bold as to call it that, would
have been as boring as a Board
of Trustees meeting had not the
prurient interests of the student
been the . major topic of
discussion. This seemed rather
ironic in light of the true purpose for which the board met .
that being to discuss and decide
whether or not the punishment
leveled on the student was too
harsh.
THE STORY
Last
February, . John
Eichenlaub, President of the
Junior Class was nabbed
drinking in the dorm and at a
hearing in front of Ed Nardi,
dean of Montour Hall , was
placed
on
disciplinary
probation. This sounds simple
enough except that the consequences of this action in
Eichenlaub's case, were
monumental. When placed on
probation , Eichenlaub was
stripped of his office as Junior
Class President, member of
CGA, member of the Union
Governing Board, and last but
certainly not least a CGA
scholarship playing to the tune
oi 200smackers. This certainly
doesn't sound like probation in
view of the fact most of
Eichenlaub's reputation may
have flown out the window right
after his offices.
Ironically enough Eichenlaub
admitted to the board that he
was guilty of the charge, but
concentrated on emphasizing
all the wonderful things he has
done on the campus rather than
getting to the real issue, which
he claims was undue punishment and harassment by
Robert Norton, Dean of Student
Life. Eichenlaub even had the
guts to assert that Norton might
have pressured Nardi into the
decision
of
levelling
disciplinary probation against
Eichenlaub; a valid comment in
light of Eichenlaub's previous
confrontations with Norton and
the fact that Eichenlaub
revealed at the hearing that
Norton visited the financial aid
office three times during the
week before Eichenlaub lost his
- . u
.
CGA scholarship.

THE CASE
After milling about on the
details oi something which
amounted to no more than a
simple booze party , board
chairman, William Williams,
special advisors to the
President, finally steered the
board and Eichenlaub in the
direction of the actual reason
for the meeting which is to find
out if Eichenlaub's punishment
was, in fact , too harsh.
Everybody there knew he had a
party in his room, along with
the select few who were there,
but I guess most the board
wanted to hear' about it just
because they missed it.
Finally, the board got to the
issue. Eichenlaub- called on
Bruce DeHaven to explain one
of the instances in which Norton
had supposedly harassed
Eichenlaub. I'm sure we all
remember the SophomoreJunior banquet where the big
question was whether or not the
college council could provide
buses to the Sheraton for those
who didn 't have a ride.
Somehow the administration
(aka ) Norton et. al. couldn't get
this through their heads and
maintained that the only reason
Eichenlaub and De Haven
asked for buses was so that kids
could . consume
demon
beverage, get plastered out
their minds and not have to
drive home. Thus council
believed the interpretation of
Eichenlaub and gave them the
buses. This 'move was later
vetoed by President McCormick.
However, Norton got so upset
that council even passed the
motion that he confronted
Eichenlaub and DeHaven after
the meeting where DeHaven
recalled that , "Dean (Norton 's
nickname) was shouting at
Ike," and "I could really tell
the tensions between the two."
Offering his own evaluation
DeHaven claimed, "I don 't
think there was just cause for
the way Dean Norton behaved."
God be praised ! That's one of
the very few times I've ever
heard a student publically say
that an administrator might be
wrong. Finally the board was on
the right track, but somehow
they managed to get back to the
details of the booze violation.
After about twenty minutes of
sputtering about exactly what
kind of drinks they had and how

Those seem a bit on the
bizarre side and probably will
never become reality .... or will
they?
However, there are other
questions that I wonder about.
Those are questions which have
a better chance of being true
than the ones above. In fact they
can be considered as very likely
to happen. I wonder if:
— people really throw shoes
at noisey cats on fences at
night?
— levelheadedness went out
with the flattop haircut?
— anyone has ever walked a
mile for a pack of Camels?
— anyone has ever hummed
the tune 'Melancholy Baby'?
— anyone has ever heard the
tune 'Melancholy Baby'?
Or if :
—
anyone knows what the
t
tune 'Melancholy Baby' is?
— anyone knows what a tune
is?
(Sorry, I lost my head)
But most of all, I wonder if
anyone will ever read this
ridiculous column in its entirety. If you have, you may be
alone.

curred in some other way,
resulting in a situation that
could possibly change related
events.
For example, suppose the
Viking I, in taking pictures of
Mars surface, had discovered a
McDonald's Big Mac container
on the planet? Or still more
puzzling, what if its cameras
had revealed a pair of ruby

from beneath the lander?
Other things to consider are,
what if:
— the nation's capital had
been moved from Washington,
D.C. to Espy, Pa.?
— New Jersey declared war
on Pennsylvania?
— Big Foot was really a
Russian plot to involve our
scientists in worthless study?
Or what if:
— bomb scares were as funny

— guerillas were really hairy
animals that fough t in wars?
—those thought to be insane
were really the ones who were

figment of our imaginations?
The cosmic crusade
shitless.
I placed a call to the
Psychology Department of
Miskatonic in Arkham. Anderson wasn't there, and for a
good reason — he was dead.
He'd been killed two weeks
before in a rather peculiar auto
accident. What was so odd
about the wreck? Oh , nothing if
you're in the habit of going
around with no breakes and a
faulty steering linkage on your
car. Foul play? You bet your
sweet Austin!
Didn 't realize all this was
possible, did you? Here it was —
a real live war between good
and evil, and it was happening
right here on our own campus.
It was a war alright, and Myers
and I were soldiers —
minutemen to be exact — and
we were headed towards a
conflict few on the face of the
Earth have conceived , let alone
participated in. We were cosmic
crusaders.
To manage our crusade an
intelligence network called the
Students Cosmic Awareness
Group, or SC AG, was created.
SC AG took charge of gathering
all available information on the
Elder Gods and thier minions.
Our report was sent to both
CGA and the Commonwealth
Association of Students. Pierce
Atwater , renounned student
activiat, and Tom Mulhern ,
CGA president, met with us at
Atwater's West Main apartment.
All these years students had
been sitting on a psychic
powerkeg — which was sooner
or late going to need defusing,
and that time was soon, far too
soon for those of us that had to
do it. Pierce Atwater made a
point that sorely hit home.
Somewhere in the midst of
conversation we got on the
subject of student activism.
"Have you ever noticed how
the same damn people are
always getting involved? Look
at this meeting for example:
everybody here has been doing
student government work, or
else on the newspaper staff.
Where are the bastards we do
all this for? Haven't they been
reading your column, Daryl?"
I took a sip of the beer Pierce
had thoughtfully , provided, and
shrugged. "They think I'm
crazy," I confessed, and they
regard what I've written as
bujlshit ." It was no trouble
figuring out where Atwater was
coming from. He was getting
disillusioned ; a point I reached
early in college life; at the who
gives a f~k attitude of the
student body.
That was a problem that
would always be with us while
the matter of the Elder Gods
was a more immediate concern.
Our plan was rather simple :
find out who the followers of the
evil ones were and suround
their unholy sabbath grounds
with high-power by, portable
plifiers powered by portable
generators. Those with CB
radios would use their PA mode
and join in an incantation
seeking the aid of mighty
Kthanid once more. If the attempt was successful we would
have destroyed a heinous
threat. If not, no degree of
imagination was necessary to
surmise what they would do to
us...

THE CONCLUSION
Judicial process inaction
WOMEN AND PROTEST...Rose Dalton spoke to women
interested in pulling their resources to improve conditions
and opportunities available to women. (Photo by Palmer)
Dalton stresses
resourcefulness
by VICKIE WEARS
Rose Dalton, firm-spoken and direct with an optimism in
women and a strong dislike for the conditions and opportunities
availablefor women, was guest speaker to BSC, April 18 & 19. She
spoke on the history of women.
"There is power in organization and' movement," Dalton
stressed, "As a group, the administration listens. If you try to
deal with problems alone you get nowhere."
In 1967, after theRebellion in Detroit, Michigan, to Dalton's role
as housewife and mother was added another dimension — a
search for self-fulfillment and autonomy plus an intense desire to
ibev effective as a career person.
, This desire for effectiveness lead her to Southern Oregon State
College to gain her B.S. in Political Science and her M.A. in
Psychological Counseling.
Dalton organized Women in Transition at SOSC with her focus
on helping women returning to college.
Organizing took time and energy on Dalton 's part. She started
out with a desk and signs promoting her cause. She availed
herself as a resource person and also encouraged women to make
decisions, while educating the community & the college. Together
these women decided on their political aspirat ions.
Asked her opinion of BSC women, Dalton saw some of the individual women as "typical warm, active, interested, willing to
share", however,, also "shy and unsure". Dalton sees that the
women here are looking to be educated and academically, the
management is not helping.
,
A recourse in identifying the problems and solving them may be
found in collective action of these women and using the resources
of some of the counselors: "You need services in assertiveness
and job-seeking skills, career and vocational guidance, peer
counseling, rap groups, as well as educational workshops on
various types of problems."
"Students seem to foget that college is supposed to be a testing
ground for learning to make decisions," Dalton pointed out, "You
are employers! The administration and faculty are employed by
YOU ! Demandjo be taught what YOU want. "
Dalton 's overall view of women today as opposed to the past is
that "We should be in a better place..a stronger role, but we're
hot. Mobility choices, and freedom are better than they were, but
so many women are not informed."
"We have not come a long way baby...Women are still critical
of themselves and of each other because they continue to play the
role of product and compete for top position by gaining the favor
ofI men.

(continued from page twc>
many people were there they
decided that Eichenlaub and his
roommate did have a- party,
which we already knew at the
beginning of the meeting.
Eichenlaub then managed to
get back to the real subject and
continued to discuss Norton's
conduct whenj ie asked to appeal Nardi's decision to put him
on disciplinary probation.
Eichenlaub stated that he went
to Norton 's office where the
Dean denied his request for an
appeal . The only grounds
Norton had were that, ? 'I hate to
put it this way, but there are
good leaders in prison too." As
if Haldeman and Erlichman
and maybe even Nixon were
good leaders. At this point most
of the board members raised an
eyebrow , but again moved
away from the harassment onto
a discussion of the panalty
which oddly enough had to be
read to Nardi from The Pilot.
A DECISION
IN THE MAKING?
Finally the board decided to
discuss whether or not
disciplinary probation was too
harsh a punishment for a very
involved Eichenlaub who lost
all of his offices as a result of
the punishment. After a long
discussion over exactly what
the punishment encompasses,
Williams finally asked Tom
Mulhern. CGA president, if
Student Life, or Norton if you
prefer, had the right to take
away the 200 bucks. Mulhern
responded, "I would seriously
challenge Dean 's (Norton 's)
right to take away the
member, Norman Hilgar, asked
if there was a precedent, or a
previous case with similar
circumstances where the
punishment was either more or
less severe.
Bravo! Finally, the board was
beginning to get to the heart of
the matter. Nardi responded to
this by saying he didn't know of
but
that
usually
any,
probation
or
disciplinary
removal from the dorm are the
sanctions which are levelled.
Obviously Nardi chose to forget
about the verbal and written
warnings for offenses stated in
The Pilot.
then
asked
Williams
had
ever
Eichenlaub if ^he
received a warning for alcohol
and Eichenlaub stated that he
had not. However, Nardi was
quick enough to point out that
Eichenlaub had received a
written warning for a visitation
violation , which had no
relevance to the case whatsoever, but very well could have
caused damage to Eichenlaub's
case in the eyes of the board.
Nardi then continued to spout
forth words of knowledge such
as, "A student's, behavior is
collective," and that he gave
the punishment because he felt,
Eichenlaub's actions were
"Serious enough to warrant that
type of action." However, I fail
to see the logic. If students'
behavior is in fact collective
why then did Nardi give
disciplinary probation to
Eichenlaub and only a warning
to the other people in the room
who were drinking ¦the same
, ¦' " ¦;
thing.... ' .;.
Now tne Doard "waritear to
know if warnings are usually
given before probation. Nardi
said there is no sequence and so
he was justified in the punishment given At this point, the
board seemed to be of the
opinion that Eichenlaub should
have received a warning.
However, Kathy Renjiak , the
busted
the R.A.
that
scholarship. " I would too in
view of the fact that the
scholarship is given by the
financial aid sub-committee of
CGA and the Dean has nothing
to say about to whom the
scholarship should be given.
But, the board still wasn't sure
about the exact nature of the
punishment and began to
discuss this again until board

Eichenlaub, noted that since afll
of the persons in a co-ed dorm
are upper classmen that they
were aware of the policies in
-the dorm which warranted her
giving everyone a warning at
the beginning of the year.
Maybe Renjiak was either
trying to save herself or Nardi
some embarrassment but it was
a bad move in vieW of the fact
that Joe Vaughn, Eichenlaub's
advisor, pointed out that she
had given a warning in absence;
of a violation. Not very;
equitable is it? Nardi then
pointed out that no formal
warning had been given at the
beginning of the year and so
again a statement which had no
relevance to the case was admitted, which could have been
very damaging to Eichenlaub's
case.
Now that the case was again
moving in Eichenlaub's favor
Nardi felt the necessity to again
go after him by saying that
student leaders should not
deviate from college policy,
which should have been
phrased, "Student leaders don't
drink, at least in the dorm."
Again, an invalid and irrelevant
point of information. However,
he tricked Eichenlaub into
making a serious mistake when
he asked Mulhern if he ever
drank on campus. Fortunately,
Mulhern didn 't answer the
question but later commented
on the side that the only time he
drank oh campus was at the
PresidentVTiouse.
Again the board got into the
bullshit about drinking until
Vaughn, who had been quiet for
mosit""" of" the;' •fifearing; ' 'asiradf ;
Nardi if he had issued only
warnings on similar charges.
Nardi had no choice but to
answer that he had, but quickly
"The
cirinterjected ,
cumstances were a lot different," yet another invalid and
possibly damaging comment.
THE DECISION OR
LACK OF IT
At this point the board made
its first major decision of the
hearing. Williams announced
that they would break until
Dean Carlson could run outside
and return with a new tape.
(The entire hearing was tape
recorded. ) After the break
Norton popped in and the board
was off and running again.
Basically, it was the same
schtick as bef ore except that
Norton said he wouldhave had
Ike thrown out of the dorm, for
committing such a vicious
crime. But the board had heard

Off oii a tangent
Ike vs. Norton
A story of BSCV
jud icialprocess inaction
by DALE MYERS
For the first time in a long
time, the President's appelate
Board met last Thursday to
review the appeal of a BSC
student claiming that he had
received unjust punishment
after being cited for a drinking
violation in the dorm last
February. The trial, if I may be
so bold as to call it that, would
have been cs boring as a Board
of Trustees meeting had not the
prurient interests of the student
been the . major topic of
discussion. This seemed rather
ironic in light of the true purpose for which the board met,
that being to discuss and decide
whether or not the punishment
leveled on the student was too
harsh.
THE STORY
Last
February, . John
Eichenlaub, President of the
Junior Class was nabbed
drinking in the dorm and at a
hearing in front of Ed Nardi,
dean of Montour Hall , was
placed
on
disciplinary
probation. This sounds simple
enough except that the consequences of this action in
Eichenlaub's case, were
monumental. When placed on
probation , Eichenlaub was
stripped of his office as Junior
Class President, member of
CGA, member of the Union
Governing Board, and last but
certainly not least a CGA
scholarship playing to the tune
of 200 smackers. This certainly
doesn't sound like probation in
view of the fact most of
Eichenlaub's reputation may
have flown out the window right
after his offices.
Ironically enough Eichenlaub
admitted to the board that he
was guilty of the charge, but
concentrated on emphasizing
all the wonderful things he has
done on the campus rather than
getting to the real issue, which
he claims was undue punishment and harassment by
Robert Norton, Dean of Student
Life. Eichenlaub even had the
guts to assert that Norton might
have pressured Nardi into the
decision
of
levelling
disciplinary probation against
Eichenlaub ; a valid comment in
light of Eichenlaub's previous
confrontations with Norton and
the fact that Eichenlaub
revealed at the hearing that
Norton visited the financial aid
office three times during the
week before Eichenlaub lost his
CGA scholarship,J
wmmm ^^
~~~-
THE CASE
After milling about on the
details of something which
amounted to no more than a
simple booze party, board
chairman, William Williams,
special advisors to the
President, finally steered the
board and Eichenlaub in the
direction of the actual reason
for the meeting which is to find
out if Eichenlaub's punishment
was, in fact , too harsh.
Everybody there knew he had a
party in his room, along with
the select few who were there,
but I guess most the board
wanted to hear' about it just
because they missed it.
Finally, the board got to the
issue. Eichenlaub- called on
Bruce DeHaven to explain one
of the instances in which Norton
had supposedly harassed
Eichenlaub. I'm sure we all
remember the SophomoreJunior banquet where the big
question was whether or not the
college council could provide
buses to the Sheraton for those
who didn 't have a ride.
Somehow the administration
(aka) Norton et. al. couldn't get
this through their heads and
maintained that the only reason
Eichenlaub and De Haven
asked for buses was so that kids
could
consume
demon
beverage, get plastered out
their minds and not have to
drive home. Thus council
believed the interpretation of
Eichenlaub and gave them the
buses. This move was later
vetoed by President McCormick.
However, Norton got so upset
that council even passed the
motion that he confronted
Eichenlaub and DeKaven after
the meeting where DeHaven
recalled that , "Dean (Norton 's
nickname) was shouting at
Ike," and "I could really tell
the tensions between the two."
Offering his own evaluation
DeHaven claimed, "I don't
think there was just cause for
the way Dean Norton behaved."
God be praised ! That's one of
the very few times I've ever
heard a student publically say
that an administrator might be
wrong. Finally the board was on
the right track , but somehow
they managed to get back to the
details of the booze violation.
After about twenty minutes of
sputtering about exactly what
kind of drinks they had and how

A recourse in identifying the problemsan d solving them may be
found in collective action of these women and using the resources
of sortie of the counselors: "You need services in assertiveness
and job-seeking skills, career and vocational guidance, peer
counseling, rap groups, as well as educational workshops on
various types of problems. "
"Students seem to foget that college is supposed to be a testing
ground for learning to make decisions," Dalton pointed out, "You
are employers! The administration and faculty are employed by
YOU ! Demand to be ta ught what YOU want."
Dalton 's overall view of women today as opposed to the past is
that "We should be in a better place..a strongerrole, but we're
hot. Mobility choices, and freedom are better than they were, but
so many women are not informed."
"We have not come a long way baby...Women are still critical
of themselves and of each other becausethey continue to play the
role of product and compete for top position by gaining the favor
of
Jl Imen."

many people were there they
decided that Eichenlaub and his
roommate did have a party,
which we already knew at the
beginning of the meeting.
Eichenlaub then managed to
get back to the real subject and
continued to discuss Norton's
conduct whenji e asked to appeal Nardi's decision to put him
on disciplinary probation .
Eichenlaub stated that he went
to Norton's office where the
Dean denied his request for an
appeal . The only grounds
Norton had were that, -'I hate to
put it this way, but there are
good leaders in prison too." As
if Haldeman and Erlichman
and maybe even Nixon were
good leaders. At this point most
of the board members raised an
eyebrow , but again moved
away from the harassment onto
a discussion of the panalty
which oddly enough had to be
read to Nardi from The Pilot.
A DECISION
IN THE MAKING?
Finally the board decided to
discuss whether or not
disciplinary probation was too
harsh a punishment for a very
involved Eichenlaub who lost
all of his offices as a result of
the punishment. After a long
discussion over exactly what
the punishment encompasses,
Williams finally asked Tom
Mulhern, CGA president, if
Student Life, or Norton if you
prefer, had the right to take
away the 200 bucks. Mulhern
responded, "I would seriously
challenge Dean 's (Norton 's)
right to take away the
scholarship." I would too in
view of the fact that the
scholarship is given by the
financial aid sub-committee of
CGA and the Dean has nothing
to say about to whom the
scholarship should be given.
But, the board still wasn't sure
about the exact nature of the
punishment and began to
discuss this again until board
member, Norman Hilgar, asked
if there was a precedent, or a
previous case with similar
circumstances where the
punishment was either more or
less severe.
Bravo!Finally, the board was
beginning to get to the heart of
the matter. Nardi responded to
this by saying he didn't know of
that usually
any, but
disciplinary probation or
removal from the dorm are the
sanctions which are levelled.
Obviously Nardi chose to forget
about the verbal and written
warnings for offenses stated in
The Pilot.
Williams
then
asked
Eichenlaub if .Jie had ever
received a warning for alcohol
and Eichenlaub stated that he
had not. However, Nardi was
quick enough to point out that
Eichenlaub had received a
written warning for a visitation
violation , which had no
relevance to the case whatsoever, but very well could have
caused damage to Eichenlaub's
case in the eyes of the board.
Nardi then continued to spout
forth words of knowledge such
as, "A student's, behavior is
collective," and that he gave
the puaishment because he felt_
Eichenlaub's actions were
"Serious enough to warrant that
type of action." However, I fail
to see the logic. If students'
behavior is in fact collective
why then did Nardi give
disciplinary probation to
Eichenlaub and only a warning
to the other people in the room
who were drinking the same
thing.
/•.
_ Now the; board wantea to
know if warnings are usually
given before probation. Nardi
said there is no sequence and so
he was justified in the punishment given At this point, the
board seemed to be of the
opinion that Eichenlaub should
have received a warning.
However, Kathy Renjiak , the

Eichenlaub, noted that since all)
of the persons in a co-ed dorm
are upper classmen that they
were aware of the policies in
the dorm which warranted her
giving everyone a warning at
the beginning of the year.
Maybe Renjiak was either
trying to save herself or Nardi
some embarrassmentbut it was
a bad move in vierf of the fact
that Joe Vaughn, Eichenlaub's
advisor, pointed out that she
had given a warning in absence
of a violation . Not very!
equitable is it? Nardi then
pointed out that no formal
warning had been given at the
beginning of the year and so
again a statement which had no
relevance to the case was admitted, which could have been
very damaging to Eichenlaub's
case.
Now that the case was again
moving in Eichenlaub's favor
Nardi felt the necessityto again
go after him by saying that
student leaders should not
deviate from college policy,
which should have been
phrased, "Student leaders don't
drink, at least in the dorm."
Again, an invalid arifl irrelevant
point of information. However,
he tricked Eichenlaub into
making a serious mistakewhen
he asked Mulhern if he ever
drank on campus. Fortunately,
Mulhern didn't answer the
question but later commented
on the side that the only time he
drank oh campus was at the
President'srhouse.
Again the board got into the
bullshit about drinking until
Vaughn, who had been quiet f o r
asked¦
triosf of '' ' -tiii^ '^-SeWrut^
Nardi if he had issued only
warnings on similar charges.
Nardi had no choice but to
answer that he had, but quickly
"The
cirinterjected ,
cumstances were a lot different," yet another invalid and
possibly damaging comment.
THE DECISION OR
LACK OF IT
At this point the board made
its first major decision of the
hearing. Williams announced
that they would break until
Dean Carlson could run outside
and return with a new tape.
(The entire hearing was tape
recorded.) After the break
Norton popped in and the board
was off and running again.
Basically, it was the same
schtick as before except that
Norton said he would have had
Ike thrown out of the dorm, for
committing such a vicious
crime. But the board had heard

Do you think that the town
per capita tax is fair?
Rich Salmon (Jr.) — Yes, I do
think that a per-capita tax
should be paid by BSC students
who dwell in town limits if they
have not done so in there home
town. After all we do live here
for 9 months out of the year and
use their roads and services.
Ruth Rappaport (Soph.) — I
think the per-capita tax is
ridiculous because the college
already provides the town with
jobs and other services. I think
it's unnecessary to tax the
students, the town is just taking
advantage of a good thing.
by EILEEN CALLAHAN
The administration has found
a solution to the state money —
or lack of state money — affecting students receiving the
state financial aid packet.
At a CGA meeting held
Monday night Robert L. Duncan , Director of Financial Aid,
presented members with a
memorandum containing facts
regarding student financial aid
for 1976-77.
The memorandum , put
togetherby Dr. Gerrold Girffis,
gave a step by step reason for
the lack of necessary state
funds to complete the 76-77
fiscal year.
The basic reasons for the
financial crunch, according to
the information in the packet,
are the large numbers of
students on the state payroll
and the orders of the federal
auditors to be more careful of
overawarding aid.
While trying to explain this
financial dry up, Duncan kept
emphasizing the fact that this
year there were more state
dollars available to students
then ever before. He ran
through the memorandum,
alluding to the solution to this
problem that has plagued
students with state paid jobs
since March 24.
The solution boils down to
this: state hours will remain cut
in half for the rest of the
semester ; all nonessential and
not needy student personnel
who have lost their jobs due to
the crunch will not bo returned
to the payroll.
A CGA . member asked
Duncan how students can be
reclassified as non-essential
and not needy. In essence,
Duncan replied "that is a
practice of the financial aid
office. "
He was.asked if this financial
crunch, which has placed some
students in an uncomfortable
position financially, can be
avoidedin the future . He replied
that these types of problems
cannot be predicted, by his
office.

Gi bson asses ses poli tical decisions
by LOUIS HUNSINGER
"It's time for politicians to
quit making decisions that are
dictated by their reelection
chances and start making
decisions that deal effectively
with our present day crises,"
Hated Mayor Kenneth Gibson of
Hewark, New Jersey, on April
If, who was sponsored by the
BSC Human Relations Committee.
Gibson spoke of
President Carter 's proposed
Energy Plan. "President
Carter told me in a meeting at
the White House last week that
he expected his popularity to
dip as much as fifteen points
because of his plan , but that
tough measures were needed in
dealing with the energy crisis. "
Gibson agreed that tough
measures were needed but that
Carter 's energy plan did not go
far enough. He said that a five
cent increase in gas taxes would
not decrease gas consumption
when Americans are willing to
spend outrageous prices for
coffee, which is something that
people don't need.
"I think the biggest problem
involved in the energy crisis
right now is the fact that most
Americans don't realize that we
do have an energy crisis and
that it's not just going to go
away and it will increase in the
future," declared Gibson. He
continue d , "I think our
government has the resources
at its disposal to deal with this
crisis but Americans are going
to have to start making a lot of
unpopular sacrifices. "
He talked of his background
and why he got into politics. "I

Wasted space?
by JAY JONES
The past several years have seen a steady increase
in enrollment here at BSC and its now getting
to the p ointwherepeopleare beginning to wonder where all the
classroom space is going to come from , space we really could use
right now but will be a definite necessity in just a few years. The
Fall of '70 saw an enrollment here of 4,030 students, in 1973 that
had jumped to 4652 and this past Fall there were a total of 5451 of
us here at BSC. But available classroom space has remained
virtually the sante.
One of the natural consequences of a lack of space is that people
begin to look around for things that can be moved or done away
with altogether to make room. And, of course, one of the first
things to be spotted was the room on the first floor of Bakeless
now being used as headquarters for the Columbia County
Historical Society . People began to ask why they are up h ere at
BSC and not downtown or , more simply; "when are they
leaving? " ;
The fact is the Historical Society and BSC do have tentative
plans to part company possibly in about a year or a little more.
The final time really depends on thosein change of setting up the
Spqeties future home downtown, when they consider the building
ready for the move and also when all the legal ramifications have
been settled between the Society and the school. The Historical
Society first moved up here in 1970 giving both a home baseto the
Society and an excellent source of historical information for
Blooms students. A contract was drawn up stipulating that
whateverparty wants to break the agreement must give the other
two years notification .
The Histocial Societies planned future home is that of Mr.
Barton , a BSC alumni and originator of the Society, who is
planning on using his home as sort of a museum and historical
center with the inside looking like a home of the 1870's. There are
still many moves to be made yet however, for example some way
must be thought of to give the place an annual operating budget,
how to keep the museum staffed ( volunteer or paid?) and is there
any work to be done to the house before it can be moved into?
Once everyone of these questions are answered then the
Historical Societies move from campus to downtown will take
place. Students will still be free to use the facilities at the home.
Yet moving the Historical Society off campus is in no way going
to help the approaching critical space problem. It's really rough
now but in a few semesters its going to be hideous. Right now
there are only two ways to alleviate the shortage: students must
take more early morning classes (an almost impossibleidea) and
somehow House Bill 1833 must get passed so BSC, can get the
proposed Human Services Center constructed. Those two actions,
especially the latter, will help to stop the space problem. Until
then be prepared to be taking some of your classesin a few closets
or coal bins.
KENNETH A. GIBSON...spoke to students and faculty on
tho docision making process employed by politicians.' He
cited his experiences as mayor of Newark , New Jersey.

Something of value
civil rights movement and I got
more and more involved in
politics until 1966..wheh I ran as
a reform candidate for mayor. I
finished third in a field of six but
I realized that my chances
might be better four years later
so I ran in 1970 and won.
He mentioned that he has
utilized youth in his administration , having recruited
some of his administrators from
colleges and universities. One of
his recruits is serving as
Director of Finance , while
another is serving as Director of
the Redevelopment Authority,
both of these people are still in
their twenties. He heartily
endorses youth in government;
"Youth can bring such a
refreshing outlook on government. No problem or goal is
unattainable for them."
Gibson is suing the federal
Census Bureau because they
made a mistake in counting
Newark' s population. The
mistake cost Newark a considerable amount of federal
funding, but the Census Bureau
admits their error .
"Newark is nowhere near
bankruptcy and doesn't intend
to be," stated Gibson about
Newark's fiscal condition. He
said, however, that there is
somewhat of a problem with
Newark's tax base when 60
percent of the city's land area is
tax-exempt.
"There seems to be an Archie
Bunker - like mood of intolerance of minorities and
ethnics in this country and I
think it is very dangerous and
self-destructive." stated Gibson.
Gibson finishedby saying that
he has no thoughts of seeking
higher political office. Gibson
said, "I have no gubernatorial
aspirations in New Jersey."
Outcome , to be a liberal
by JAY ROCHELLE
The biggest outcome of a
liberal education may well be
the ability to reflect on your own
reflection. There is a .good form
of power in the ability to control
the way you think about things:
no longer at the mercy of your
thoughts, there is a discipline
and a logic to the way you think.
You are capable of filtering out
opinion from knowledge. A
prioritizing goes on which
suggests, for example, that
faced with an electric canopener you might wonder why
anyone bothered to make such a
thing and what is said about
values in contemporary
culture ; you move beyond
utility to questions of meaning.
You might begin to wonder
about the prejudices you have
been taught and think them
through in such a way that you
understand how they cripple
you as a person. There is, thus
an academic equivalent to the
search for the truth which
makes free.
A second major outcome is
knowledge of the limits to
reason. I would call this the
threshold'to wonder and along
with it goes the knowledge*that
the simple aspects of life yield,
upon discovery, to the quite
profound. You struggle with
language, bending and shaping
and molding and cajoling it to
fit as a medium for communicating ideas and symbols,
signs and wonders, so that the
miracle of one mind touching
another can happen. I would
like to hope that along with this
goes, also, the knowledge that to
challenge someone's idea does
not mean to destroy that other
as a person, and the other way
round. And that, to truly touch
another, you may have to move
beyond words to sighs and
smiles, tears and laughter, and
a caring touch,
A third major outcome is the
ability to relate ideas to one
another so as to build a holistic
framework which to approach
life and see the world. To fill
in the blanks without
throwing away any of the
pieces. To overcome the kind of
mental compartmentalization,
for example, which might be
tempted to hold a conservative
religious belief in creation in
one corner and a knowledge of
the theory of evolution in
another, never allowing them to
mix or permeate each other
under the hazy belief that they
contradict or undermine each
other. A number ot viewpoints
are allowed to enter your mind,
without personal threat, and
rattle round while you synthesize them.
Lastly, there is a sense of
gracious movement: a dance of
the mind in time, Aside from the
accumulation of facts which my
friend, David Lots, calls "less a
Part 3
virture than a duty ", there is
need to get hold" of the fundamental idea of movement in
time, of the constant change of
history
and
historical
phenomena. Personally, it
means that the level of intellectual attainment of one age
is not to be thrown away in
moving to the next; the whole
movement of the mind is to be
seen as a process. This opens up
learning as an art form to be
used rather than a set of facts to
be mastered, and allows for —
no calls for — constant growth.
There may be a sense of
exasperation in never "having
it all together", but that's lifein
a very real sense and the liberal
thinker affirms that kind of
movement as both creative and
grace-filled.
I suppose anyone could ask,
"what difference does it make if
I function this way?" and I am
reduced to a subj ective answer.
Over the long haul of life it
appears that this way of approachinglearning opens life up
to more depth than a
mechanistic or t«r»hnical
to
approach
knowledge, that perhaps this
kind of movement leads to
wisdom in the, long run. I could
be wrong; but then again this
approach to education has
always been, in a sense, an act
of faith ; no less so today than in
its historical development,

enough and decided to
deliberate on the matter and
hand down a decision the next
day. The amazing thing that
occurred next is tragic and yet
comic. The highest judicial
body on this campus, that being
the President's appellate board
decided to return the decision
making responsibility to the
campus judicial board, where it
should have been in the first
place.
THE COMMENT
This farcical hearing may not
seem like much, or sound like
much, but don't let that fool you.
The time these people spent
interrogating Eichenlaub may
as well have been spent at a bar
or maybe even in Ike's room. In
other words, it accomplished
absolutely nothing, which leads
me to believe that there is no
valid judicial process ion this
campus.
Primarily, the process, by
which the appeal was made was
wrong. The campus judicial
board should have heard the
appeal before the President's
Appellate Board ever met.
Eichenlaub tried to do it this
way, but Norton and Nardi
denied his right to appeal to the
campus
judicial
board
requiring him to go to the higher
board for a decision which he
would never receive. Was it
because Norton felt that
Eichenlaub had no valid basis to

Awards Convocation
Penn coach Daly to speak Sun
Chuck Daly, head basketball
coach at the University of
Pennsylvania, returns to his
alma mater of Bloomsburg
State College to be the featured
speaker at the eighth annual
Awards Convocation to be held
this Sunday, April 24, in Haas
Center for the Arts at 2:00 P.M.
A 1952 graduate of Bloomsburg State College, Daly has
been acclaimed as the most
successful coach in the 75 years
of basketball at the University
of Pennsylvania. He has the
best winning percentage (.766,
125-38) , has won the most Big
Five titles (three), has taken
Penn to more NCAA tournaments (four ) , and ranks
Second only to Lon Jourdet in
the number of Ivy titles , won
(six to four) . He has accomplished all of these
remarkable records since 1971
when he was appointed head
coach at the 'University of
Pennsylvania. During his initial
year at Penn, he won Eastern
Coach of the Year honors as his
team finished first in the East
and third nationally.
As an undergraduate student
at Bloomsburg, Coach Daly
participated extensively in
student activities. Among other
activities, he played varsity
basketball for three seasons and
was a member of the track
team, the Varsity Club, the
sports staff of The Maroon and
Gold, and Sigma Alpha Eta
(professional speech and
hearing fraternity) . As a
secondary education major , he
prepared himself to teach in
three disciplines — speech
correction, English, and social
studies.
After graduating from
Bloomsburg , Coach Daly
served in the armed forces for
two years before beginning his
coaching career at Punxsutawney High School in 1955.
Judicial inaction
(continued .from page seven )
appeal? Was it because he
received just punishment fronr
Nardi? Or, was it because
Norton knew that if the case
went to the campus J-Board
Eichenlaub would have been
judged by his peers (Fellow
students) and he had a good
chance of winning the appeal?
The important thing here is
that the campus judicial
process was interrupted by an
administrator (Norton) who
had or has no right to do such a*
thing. Why even have a campus
judicial board made up of
students if someone from the
administration is going to
decide whether or not they
should meet? It certainly seems
to me that the students should
be deciding that.
The ultimate tragedy of this
whole case is that this college
has engaged in a gross violation
of student and yes, Constitutional rights. Eichenlaub,
although off probation as a
result of Thursday's hearing
was on proba tion during the
course of his appeal . Simply
stated, he was guilty until
proven innocent.
Had Eichenlaub been allowed
to have a lawyer, the hearing
could have been more
respectable and probably more
furitful. But, the Pilot only
allows him to have a faculty
advisor. The administration can
use a lawyer , (Williams) why
i
shouldn't the student be able to
have one? Perhaps, this might
eliminate irrelevant and
damaging testimony and keep
the campus judicial process
consistent with the process used
in the outside world.
The last apparent and most
blatent item is that an administrator (Norton ) . has
overstepped His bounds. He
seems to be responsible for the
loss of the scholarship and also
for the fact that the campus
judicial board , which should
have heard the case, never met.
But now they have to hear the
case after a higher board
couldn't make a decision. I
seriously doubt that the
Supreme Court would send a
case to Columbia county court if
they couldn't make a decision.
The whole system is inequitable
and meaningless, as a result of
Eichenlaub's case. It wasn't the
case of a student cited for
drinking. Many students are
caught drinking in the dorm,
more than once during the
course of a year and never
receive anything harsher than a
verbal warning. But , on to the
read issue because the drinking
is irrelevant, Eichenlaub's case
shows a relentless bias on the
part of student life to hang a
student's ass above the
"Wisdom is the furit of
knowledge, " placard which
rests above thej .entrance to Ben
Franklin (home of student life.)

eves.
He later served as assistant
coach at Duke University for six
years and, prior to his appointment at Penn, was head
coach at Boston College for two
years. His college record for
seven years is 151-62.
Coach Daly holds a master's
degree in educational administration from the Pennsylvania State University. He is
a member of the National
Association of Basketball
Coaches and serves on its
Convention Planning Committee and its Public Relations
Committee.
In recognition of his astute
knowledge of the game, he was
selected as a member of UPFs
Board , which picks the top ten
teams in the nation on a weekly
basis. It is also noteworthy that
he has his own weekly radio
show in New York which is
heard over eighty radio
stations.
Coach Daly and his wife ,
Terry, also a BSC alumna, are
the parents of a daughter ,
Cydney. The Daly family
resides in Cherry Hill, New \
Jersey.
Two late inning rallies
lift BSC nine to sweep
by AL SCHOCH
Eight errors by the Bloomsburg State baseball team
couldn't stop the Huskies on
Tuesday as Clark Boler's nine
swept Lock Haven, 11-10 and 3-2
in nine innings. ,r
The opener started out rocky
for Huskies. Lock Haven scored
three times in the first inning off
starter Bruce "Boomer "
Wilson. After Bloomsburg tied
the score in the second, Lock
Haven aided by two Husky
errors, scored four more times.
The Huskies didn't let up. After
scoring once in the fourth, they
crossed the plate four times in
the next inning to take an 8-7
lead.
Each team scored single runs
in the sixth and seventh, and
BSC held a 10-9 lead. But Lock
Haven knotted the score off
reliever Joe Turri, setting the
stage for the bottom of the
ninth. Tom Fulton's single, the
third straight hit for the Huskies
in the inning, scored Bob
Stackhouse to give the Huskies
the win. Jeff Long, Mensinger,
Gerald Jakubas, and Ken Miller
each had two runs batted in.
Long, Mensinger, and Scott
Vercoe all had two hits.
The second game turned out
to be a pitchers duel.
Stackhouse and Miller put the
Huskies up 2-0 with RBI singles
in the second and third . Lock
Haven came back to tie the
game in the fourth on a single
by Joe Martin, a triple by Tom
Washabaugh, and a single by
Chuck Garrett . Huskies relief
pitcher Brad Moharder kept
Lock Haven off the boards the
rest of the way, limiting the
Eagles to one hit, while striking
out three,in four and two-tliirds
innings.
It was the bottom of the ninth
when the Huskies broke the ice.
With Miller on second base and
The double win by Huskies
upped their 1977 record to 6 wins
and 7 losses. The next game for
the Huskies will be tomorrow at
home, with Mansfield in a
doubleheader.
two outs, Bill Pennesi ripped a
single to chase home the winning run.
Cortland , ES beat
women 's track team
by HOLLY MILLER
The Women's track team
brought home a defeat on
Monday, but gained confidence
for their next meet on Wednesday against Mansfield, Lock
Haven and possibly Indiana and
Buckhell.
Monday 's track meet was on
East Stroudsburg's home track
along with Courtland State from
New York. Carole Krause, Jr.
brought the Huskies their only
first place in the entire meet
which was in the 110 yard
hurdles with a time oji" 17.5.
However, Sharon Petrusnek, a
sophomore, took a second place
in the 220 with a time of 28.8 and
a fourth place in the 100-yard
dash with a decent time of 12.7,
Coach Cobrain feels even
though the score showed a
lopsided edge for their opponents, the team used this as a
tremendous learning experience. Coach Cobrain is
proud of the women and
believes their "best asset is
their enthusiasm and closeness
as a team."
Improvement was seen in
Margie Gehringer in the
quarter mile with a time of 69.0,
which is 8.0 seconds off of her
old time. Another to show improvement is Barb Cantrelle in
the mile with a time of 6.38.2.
This is 40 seconds off of her old
time. The 440 relay team took a
second with a time of 55.5. The
relay team consists of Carole
Krause , Sharon Petrusnek ,
Melody Lowry and Alison
Watts.
As for a preprediction of their
meet on Wednesday, Coach
Cobrain indicated that it is
impossible to do so, since they
know little about these teams.
Nevertheless, she confirms that
the confidence gained on
Monday should show marked
improvement by the women.
