Adv isement essential to all BSC students

byBILL TROXELL
Academic advisement may
be essential to evei°y student
en rolled at BSC. The college
and each department sets the
standards
necessary
for
graduation. Each studen t is
solely responsible for fulfilling
these.
Without proper advisement,
your graduation may be

delayed. In order >to obtain
adequate and accurate advisement , both the advisor and
advisee must be aware of their
respective responsibilities.
The current Association of
Pennsylvan ia State College and
University Faculty (APSCUF)
contract requires each proffessor to undertake the duties of
an advisor to students. The

advisor should help students
schedul e, counsel them in
career development and guide
them to emotional security in
the college atmosphere. Since
there is no specific training
each advisor must learn the
necessary information by word
of mouth and by reading the
^
catalogue.
Your adviso r should be

familiar with all of the
requirements
in
your
curriculum and area of study. It
is his duty to assist you with
class scheduled by suggesting
both
general
education
requirements and courses in
your major. It is the job of the
advisor to suggest and or- approve a combination of courses
which will not overwork the
student.
Every faculty member should
have at least 5 hours per week
denoted to office time. He
should be available for
scheduling during these times.
If , due to time conflicts, a
student is unavailable to meet
with his professor during
regular office hours a special
appointment time must be set
up.
Alon g with scheduling the
advisor should inquire about,
and help students with cocurricular activities, living
conditions, grade deficiences,
and study habits. The advisor
must also be able to an swer the
question: "What can I do with a
degree in ... ? "
It is the students responsiblity
to make an appointment with
his advisor each semester. The
student is also responsible for
knowing
his
program
requirements. Before students
meet with their advisor to
schedul e, they should have a
rough idea of what they wan t to
take . Again , "making a
sch edule is the students
responsibility," according to
Dr. Arthur Lysiak, Coordinator
of Academic Advisement. He
also noted that "all an advisor

New positions bring relief
by LOU HUNSINGEB
Are you in an overcrowded
Economics, Business, Nursing
pr English class? Well, there
may be some temporary relief
in sight due to the hiring of
twenty temporary faculty
positions for this semester.
According to Dr. James
Mitchell, Vice President for
Academic Affairs , the new
temporary positions came
about as a result of the end of
the hiring freeze for all Commonwealth agencies which
began on May 20, 1977.
Mitchell said that the
selection of the temporary
positions to be filled for each
department, was determined by
greatest staffing needs and
program needs.
"By program needs I mean
•wh en you develop a new
program like nursing you have
to get people to staff those
programs ," said Mitchell.
"We're trying to use the temporary positions -to reduce the
severe overloads, especially in
areas such as Economics and
Business. We hope the temporary position in Economics
can be made perman ent since
there is such an acute staffing
problem in that department. "

The English department also
received a few of . these
positions. Mitchell stated that
the English department has
always had a number of temporary positions each semester
especially to teach composition.
The positions the English
department received will
continue to be temporary.
"We are not presently anticipating any additional
staffing other than these twenty
temporary
positions.
Harrisburg sets a limit on our
faculty complement which now
stands at 650 and we can 't exceed that limit un til Harrisburg
says we can ," declared Mitchell.
These temporary positions
according to Mitchell , help to
increase the flexibility of the
college , depending on whether
there is an increase or decrease
in enrollment,
Mitchell is pleased that the
Commonwealth was able to
recognize the needs of this
college.
President McCormick issued
a statement on these hirings. "I
must point out that these new
positions must take care of all
new personnel need s for the
next 18 months. We will not be

Effective n ext September, Elwell, Columbia, and Lycoming
Halls will house women and Luzern e, North , and Montour Halls will

facility on an alternate wing- same floor basis.
This was the final decision of the Residence Life Staff after giving
careful consideration to the opinions of staff and students regarding the opportunities of several realignment proposals.
In the judgement of the Residence Life Staff , this realignment

These changes will necessitate the relocation of the limited
visitation areas for men and women in other buildings. The specifi c
areas designated for limited visitation will be announ ced in the

can do is advise, encourage and
warn."
Although the guidelines for
both advisor and advisee are
clear , problems do develop.
According to students, several
complaints against their advisors have sprung up. The
most common is not being able
to schedule an appointment. In
some of the more popular
majors such as Business, each
professor may have up to 60
students to advise. According to
faculty in both the Chemistry
and Earth Science departments, this problem develops
because students don 't come in
until the last minute. Also, when
appointments are made, too
often they they come in with no
conception of what they wan t to
take. This causes problems
because it takes a long time to
put a schedule together from
scratch.
On the other han d, some
professors take an unsuitable
attitude toward helping the
students. All they do is sign the
completed schedule. This
leaves the student wide open to
scheduling incorrectly and to
taking too many heavy reading
courses. With proper advisement , this could be
eliminated.
Each department is in charge
of setting its own curriculum. In
several departments such as
chemistry,
courses
are
designed to be taken in proper
sequence. According to Dr.
Lawrence Mack , chemistry
professor, advisors in areas
outside chemistry are unaware

Aid procedures simplified

by JACK FURNISS
The Financial Aid Office,
under the direction of Robert
Duncan and Tom Lyons, has
been diligently working toward
the most effective means of
insuring financial security for
the BSC student body.
They have simplified the
procedure by replacing the
heretofore multiple set of forms
with one PHEAA Composite
Financial Aid Application. The
previous means for establishing
aid used to charge the student
four dollars and required a
processing time of about six
weeks. The .college shortened
the required time and has
p icked up the charge and
the
saves
consequently
financial aid students $16,000
collectively.
The PHEAA Compbsite form
is the one application for all
types of financial aid including:
Basic Educational Opportunity
Grant , PHEAA Grant , National
Direct Student Loa n , College
Work-Study, State Student
Employment and Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant.
The Financial Aid Office urges
prospective applicants to
submit the form at the earliest
possible time before April 1,
1978 to secure the best possible
aid package for the 1978-79
academic year. • A ssistant
Director Lyons also urges
students to take their time and
complete the forms accurately
and correctly to alleviate time
consuming technica l hassles.
The Financial Aid Offic e
circulated, a small news booklet
late last semester called ,

. '!Financing.. yp ur , Educatton."

This publication clearly details
the modified procedure and is
extremely short and easy to
read. The fina ncial aid directors also strongly encourage
students to come in and explore
the possibilities of obtaining
aid. Lyons feels that some BSC
students are borrowing before
they should and need to because
of a less than complete search
of all the available means of

financing a college education.
The staff of the Financial Aid
Office is.available from 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday to discuss anv area of
financial aid with BF
.dents.
They are very rec ave and
would like to help you and use
their tools for your benefit. Stop
in and see what their hard work
and dedication can do for you
and your education.

Legal advice at BSC
,

¦{ '

_L >

i "f

'^ .- •

-"

Legal advice across the country is in popular demand
at top prices but we students of BSC have been provided
with a lawyer to give free legal advice .
Through CGA (Community Government Association)
a part-time lawyer is available to ALL students at no
cost. However, the committee responsible for the proper operation of the student lawyer program has not
been effectively fulfilling there job.
Several times last semester the committee members
neglected to inform students in advance that the lawyer
would not be In the office. Many students waited
several hours to see the lawyer only to be told to leave.
Naturall y students were annoyed and therefore did not
return. Since students pay for this service (and many
others) through the Community Activities Fee it is unfortunate that these problems have occured. It is also
unfortunate that many students are unaware that this
service is available to them.
Actually what seems to be the problem is a general
lack of communication within the committee. As an
example this semester there has been a time change in
the lawyers hours , instead of 6-9 he is on campus from
6:30 to 9:30 Tuesday evenings. Students were not informed of this time change until the very last minute ,
that being the night the lawyer came to campus. Unless
a student ventured to the office in the afternoon there
was no way he/she was aware of the time change.
We of the Voice have a few suggestions for the lawyer
committee and they are as follow:
1) The committee should strive to inform students of
the proper time and dates for the lawyer by means
of
the media.
2) Students should be made aware of all cancellations
and postponements of services.
3) Students should be made aware of the procedures
followed in seeing the lawyer.
4) If the committee finds that it cannot operate for the
benefit of the students in the upgrading of the program,
thfA'-* *he committee should disband.

5) inally, if the committee finds that the lawyers
are not living up to their contract or that they can not
work in accordance with them, then new lawyers should

''

be hired.

As we see it, if this committee cannot do an effective
job perhaps CGA should seriously take a look at what's

happening within that committee. According to CGA
president Joe Surdoval , he is not satisfied with the job
done by the committee in the first semester.
After years of effort to attain this program , it is
finally a reality and the present committee should strive

Snowsies in

at eight o'clock as classes begin

Age vs. knowledge

by MARY WELLS
"Attention — attention must
be paid''. As Mrs. Loman said of
Willy in Death of a Salesman , so
must teachers and administrators begin to take a
closer look at "mature returnees" who are re-entering the
halls of ivy in increasing
numbers.
In view of this, perhaps the
time has come to examine a few
myths in regard to learning
ability. One such myth is that
intellectual fun ctioning peaks at
age 17 and then declines
progressively. If this •'were so,

practically all college students
would be going steadily
downhill. According to Dr.
Lissy F. Jarvik, professor of
psychiatry at the University of
California at Los Angeles, there
is no decline either in
knowledge or reasoning ability
in the 30's and 40's — or even in
the 60's, 70's and 80's. In one
study, people examined after 60
and followed along in their 70's
and 80's showed no intellectual
decline. It might take a bit
longer for older students to
perform intellectual functions,
but that 's a far cry from saying
they lack reasoning ability.
*" Laborat ory studies show that
man y older students can learn
as well as younger ones and
their memory is often equal.
What we tend to label "memory
loss" may really be inadequate
learning caused by hearing
di fficulties , impai red vision ,
and similar factors, according
to Dr. Jarvik . Another common
error is mislabeling depression
as "mental - deterioration ". In
point of fact , the best antidote to
learning
depression
is
someihing new, and keeping
"plugged into " the , social
stream. Thus , co ntinuing
education at var ious points
through&it one's lifetime can be
a sound preventive mental
health measure.
The increasing trend toward
continuing education has im-

plications for younger students
of today. The traditional
assumption has been that
formal studies ended in
graduation with a diploma
issued as a kind of exit visa
when one finished with
schooling — presumably
forever. In today 's constantly
changing society, it is no longer
possible to limit education to a
fixed number of years because
formal schooling has become a
source of continuousrenewal for
mature persons in varying
circumstances. Now that midlife crisis " and "emptynesting" have been recognized
as problem points along one 's
lifetime, more people in middle
age are turning to education for
solutions to adaptation and
direction-changing. Instead of
"discovering " this in later
years, youn g students of today
can psyche themselves now for
intermittent
schooling
throughout their lifetimes, thus
putting all of education in a new
perspective.
For college administrators,
this calls for a new look at some
of the "ageism " that has been
built into the existing system. If
ever it was relevan t to ask for a
student's listing of all schools
attended since eighth grade,
mother 's maiden name ,

Robinson returns quite a hit

by ED HAUCK
The "funny singer" from
Woodstock , N.Y. drew, last
Sunday night, what I believe
has got to be a record crowd for
both the coffeehouse and
President' s lounge for any
occasion and that includes
studying. The throng of around
175, a relaxed group, watched
and -listened as Andy Robinson
trotted upon the small platform ,
tuned his guitar and opened up
with "I Give My Love To You",
a slow, lulling song.
Switching back and forth
between a 6 and 12 string guitar,
the balladeer gave two sets of
music and comedy to a very
receptive and appreciative
audience.
Robinson 's "style which is a
combination of song and
comedy, has a unique approach.
There are not many such as he.
Seemingly he is a holdover from
the 60's still performing in the
70's and waiting to see what the
§0's has in store for him. Fear
not, for his bread and butter are
not solely put on the table by
performing, his interests also
lie in an 8 track recording studio
back home plus he's dabbling in
radio jingles in Florida through
his agent in Philadelphia.
Even while he was into his
fourth song, "that made the top
10 in Rutland , Vermont" , called
"Party Ball", people were still
moving around , squirming for a
place to sit and listen to the
comic crooner.
The only flaw tha t everyone
had to put up with was a lousy
sound system.
At one point during "Party
Ball" I happened to scan the
crowd — the faces of most were
attentive and almost hypnotized

UfNftfW & VOG-

with no one talking. The only
time he invited the audience to
speak up was with his
"audience participation " song
— the gospel-like "The Light of
Day ". He had a hard time
trying to convince people to
open their mouths to sing a
short refrain, "oh, the light of
day" and he soon abandoned it
and reverted to telling a few
jokes about advertising that
used sex as a motive. He attested to the fact, "I was glad
when Leggs changed to cotton
crotches — the old ones used to
get stuck in my throat. "
As a pastime, other than
performing, he is currently coproducing an album that
features Eric Anderson.
"If the psychology of a studio
is understood then an artist can
get comfortable and put his best
into each song — I really don't
like songs without feelings —
though some songs are made to
be danced to. I believe in being
sincere in singing, " said
Robinson.
He was quite sincere as he
came out the second half with
"Remember the Times We
Had", a nostalgic song of love
and a blues song . "You're
Goinna Need Somebody on Your
Bond" , what seemed to be, a
southern spiritual. His next
song, "Black Sheep Boy" told a
story of a young man who had
gone west, but was home on a
visit. His parents did not seem
to know where he was even
though he had told them and
explained to them — he felt to
be an outcast , a black sheep.
"Dance Zerena " a song that
he
performe d
at
the
Renaissance concert, is a ballad
of a love commonlv known as

the "post-six-year-relationshipblues". A very pretty song that
set a mental picture of longing
to be with a forgotten*love.
The Arco Station story, which
was a "Haas sensation" made a
coffeehouse come-back. "You
usually remember a place by
some small incident, but that
doesn't mean the machine in the
Arco Station near the interstate
isn't the only thing I remember
about Bloomsburg, although it
was the most colorful,' interjected Robinson.
His next "timely" tune was

entitled "Ballad of a Summer
Girl" . This was a lazy song that
should've reminded us of the
summer love we once had or
one that was supposed to have
been. He then put on ol-reliable
"Stand By Me " before his final
song which I did not catch the
title of .
"I enj oy coming back to a
place where I've played before,
and I like Bloomsburg, but the
best feeling is knowing that the
audience is having a good time
because I know I am. It has to
be fun for me to perform."

the mashed potato, and the
twist are among the dance
contests. Special prizes shall be
awarded for best costume, best
dancers, mannerisms, and a
verbal test on the '60's. First
prize will be $150 plus a trophy
to the couple donating the most
money and lasting the 50 hours.
(Or $75 if a single person wins.)
The individual or couple who
turns in the most money by 4:00
p.m. on February 10, 1978, after
dancing at least 20 hours, will
receive $125 and a trophy.
Last year, pledges totaled
over $7,000 from the two
marathons. 51 couples started
the 50 hour marathon. 11
couples entered the 12 hour
marathon.
Seven and a half couples
finished the 50 hour marathon.
Of the three original couples
finishing the marathon, Amy
McCluskey and Mark Edelstein
were judged the best dancers
and therefore awarded the
trophy.
One would think 50 hours of
dancing would be enough for
one weekend, however it didn't
seem to have affected Mark. He
finished the weekend in his
usual style.

New L ightfoot - fres h and enjoyable

by TOBY LOYD
I' ve been waiting for this new
effort by Gordon Lightfoot for
quite a while. He is an artist I
really enjoy and respect. He is a
masterful songwriter, truly one
of the best of the past decade.
One of the great things about
Lightfoot is that his lyrics are of
such quality that standing alone
without music, most are classic
poems. This degree of artistry
is somewhat hard to find in
many of todays popular
songwriters . The fact that
Lightfoot has been around for so
long is undoubtedly attributable
to his high talent, and the
Canadian songster demonstrates his skill on this album as
much as he has on his past
albums.
Two summer's ago I was
lucky enough to see Gordon
Lightfoot perform at " the
Garden State Arts Center in
New Jersey and he was superb.
The performance was inspired
and professional , his band tight
and well rehearsed. The same
can be said for this album. It ,
too, is tight and well rehearsed.
It seems to lack inspiration in a
few spots, but there really isn 't
a bad song on the album.
As with his past albums, this
one contains no one unifying
concept or theme. It is more or
less a collection of songs, many
about love, all of them giving us
a glimpse of the various sides
and moods of Gordon Lightfoot.
The master of imagery paints
some haunting pictures in the
listener's mind with his words.

"Endless Wire ", the title track
of the album demonstrates this:
"Down In The Dark of a
Heavenly Night with you , down
in tfee dark of a Bottomless Hole
there's a few good second hand
scenes, deep in the dark of the
heavenly blue where the sea
runs green. " This kind of stuff
really turns me on.
Gordon Lightfoot is also a
grea t manipulator of mood ,
using his words and images to
create a scene in the listeners
mind which will in turn make
the listener feel what Lightfoot
wants him to feel. For example ,
in "Daylight Katy ", side one's
opening cut , he paints the
picture of a woman living her
life down by the ocean. When I
listen to this cut , the snow
outside melts and I really feel
like it is summertime. I can feel
a warm sea breeze , smell the
ocean and feel the hot sand
beneath my feet. "She lives by
the sea when the summer wind
comes and the sea doesn 't mind
at all . she talks to the sea when
the sea runs wild and waves run
steep and tall and she doesn 't
have to get up in the morning
with her hair so soft and long. "
The overall effect is very
sensuous and hypnotic.
One mark , of a truely grea t
artist is to what degree he is
able to restrain himself and his
emotions. This is a very difficult
thing to do, since most artists
are highly emotional and tend to
naturally lea n to excessiveness
in their struggle to let other
people know all of the things

Do you have a spare
weekend? If you 're game to
explore the dimensions of the
inner city of New York , has
Quest got a weekend for you !
Operation Eye Opener will
provide students with the opportunity of confronting the
cultures and sub-cultures of
inner city life. Included in this
rather unique experience will
be discussions on the "run
away " and an in 'ciepth drug
exposure with addicts .
In the continuing efforts of
Quest to extend a unique opportunity for students at BSC ,
the purpose of this experience
will be to provide an "At the
Scene" educational expereince
in an unfamiliar environment.
The aim of this program is
directed into four areas:
D . Present an emotional

challenge to the participant s
attitudes , prejudices and to his
understanding and compassion
for others.
2 ) . Provide t i m e for participants to look at themselves
personally and as a group
member.
3) . Obtain information and
exposure that may be helpful in
selecting a future vocation.
4) . Give the participants an
insight into many of the major
social problems of our. time and
some of the ways with which the
problems are being dealt.
There are no prerequisites for
this experience which lends
itself to people from ages 16 to
60. It is not designed to be entertaining nor is it a "tour type "
exposure, but it could be one of
the mos t worthwhile experiences of your life .

The dates will be Thursday,
February 16, 3:00 p.m ., leaving
at Kehr Union , and Friday,
February 17. Participants will
leave for N.Y. City at the end of
classes , and return February 19
in the evening.
The exact location will be
New York City including
Greenwich
Village , East
Village , and the Bowery.
The cost for this progra m will
be 22 dollars including housing,
two lunches , 2 breakfasts, and
transportation.

"Endless Wire " is a fresh and
enjoyable album to listen to. It
is precisely and cleanly
produced , a recording of high
quality. Its been well worth the
wait , and should prove a
satisfying addition to your
collection *

Exploring the inner city

Robert Davenport will lead
the excursion and indicates that
there is limited space available.
For further information , you
can reach Davenport at 717-3893714 or 717-389-2204.

write something as light as this
is very healthy, as his new
songs prove he'll never get
stale.

this happens, his work becomes
sloppy and possibly embarrassing, as he may end up
saying far more than originally
inten ded , and his message
becom es clouded or lost completel y in the wildly rambling
emotions that pour forth in his

work. Lightfoot is a picture of
restraint. He always says what
he wants to without saying too
much or leaving any loose ends
lying about. He maintains a

indulging or losing himself. *

in shaping those emotions into
his work , everything tends to

WANTED :
Outstanding growth opportunity for

Interested? If so, you may be
a candidat e for one of the man y
Resident Advisor positions
open ing in the fall. But making
the decision to apply for R. A.
requires more self-examination
than merely meeting the above
want-ad requirem ents. You
need to look beyond Studen t
Life ' s finely worded j ob
descriptions , to the real R. A.
program and the people who are
a part of it. They are a varied

expectations of the job and their
experiences with it will be much

Consider first , why you wan t
to be an R. A. and also what
hesitations you may have
concerning
the
position.
Although they receive a salary
and an expense-pai d single
room , many R. A. 's do not cite
these benefits as their major
incentives for applying. Many,
like Cathie Readdy of Montour ,
"wanted the opportunity to

The Middl e States Coordinat in g Committee, in preparation for a
visit from the Middle States Accreditation Association 's
Evaluating Team in 1979, has recently completed a topical outline
of the areas to be studied by the Self-Study Committee at BSC. Ten
different areas are included in the outline; a separate committee
has been formed to make an in-dept h study of each of these topics.
Dr. JoAnne Growney of the Self-Study Committee has indicated
that input is needed from members of the colleg e community; any
questions, suggestions, or reports of any kind relevan t to the selfstudy are welcomed. Anyone wishing to contribut e ideas or
requests is urged to contact the committee responsible for the topic
he is interested in.
The following is a list of the ten committees and those persons
responsible for each:
I. Institutional Goals: Th is section includes a brief history of
BSC, will describe its functions and responsibilities, emphasize
continuous planning, and examine the relationship between goals
and outcomes. The Middle States Coordinating Committee is
responsible for„this area .
II. Curricular Programs: This heading includes all degree

of the proper course sequences,
thus they can not info rm
several
takin g
students
chemistry courses of th e
correct order. Mack feels that
the chemistry curricul um is
easiest when take n in proper
sequence.
Lvsiak feels that when it

comes to scheduling, "kids are
sort
of
unreasonable. "
Everyone wants a schedule that
won 't force them to have early
m o r n i n g or late afternoon
classes. This is often the cause
of advisor - advisee conflicts.
Th is is one reason why Lysiak
feels that "advisors will never
be popular. "

Other intangibl e benefits
include being in a respected ,
campus leadersh ip role, with
the opportun ity to influence and
initiate change and the constan t
chance to meet new and interesting people.
Of course there are disadvantages to be considered. The
R. A. position requires a
d e f i n i t e t i m e c o m m i t m e nt
continuing around - the - clock
which may conflict with other
a c t i v i t i e s . A well-discip lined
schedule usually can alleviate
this problem.
When applying for any job ,
you shoul d give thought- not only
to how the position will benefit
you , but also what benefits you
can add to the position. How
well coul d you han dle your own
R. A. 's responsibilities or how
could you improve the present

residence hall program ?
R. A. staffs consist of individuals of all shapes, sizes
and creeds but all candidates
must meet a few gen eral
requirements; you cannot , be

requirements and you 're a

What are your feelings on the proposal
to lower the dinking age to 19?

Martin Hickey ( sophom ore)
— I think the proposal is long
overdue. People under 21 will
get their booze regardless of the
law anyway. Besides, the state
could use the money.

Lisa Bogetti ( sophomore ) —
An 18 yea r old isn 't a minor
anymore, but is still restricted
about drinking. It really should
be 19.

If you happen to hav e
problems with your advisor,
there are sever al alternatives
open . If you can no longer bear
your advisor , regar dless of who
the culprit is, you have the right
to change. To do this, all you
have to do is ask your department chairman or curriculum
coordinator. (Person in charge
of all department advisors). If
your advisor happen s to be one
of these two peo pl e, your
problem will be solved by the
academic advi sement office
located in Ben Fran klin. Lysiak
will have you appointed to a new
advisor with no que stions
asked . He did note that a
positive reason for change
would be better than referring
to yoru old advisor with nasty
comments.
The academic advisement
office is run by Dr. Arthur
Lysiak. One half of his time is
devoted to the office while he
spends the other hal f as a
history professor. The offices
prime directive is to ensure
proper advisement to all
students. They also keep track
of who is in what majo r and they
advise students with no major.
In the future the office plan s
to improve record keepin g and
career counseling on the part of
the advisors thorug h a training
program . Lysiak stresses that ,
"if you have a problem with
your advisor , it 's your fault
because you can change him or
her."

Russell Haines ( security ) —
The drinking age should be
lowered since they are an adult
at 18 yea rs and can vote and be
arrested as an adult .

DuBoyd
I) o b o r a h
( sophomore) — Yes, I think the
drinking age should be lowered.
Everyone who wants to drink
and isn 't of age is doing it
anyway.

Gene Staschak ( sophomore )
— If the drinking age was
lowered to 19, if anything, the
law would be beneficial to
Pennsylvania. The state would
profit from it , and most people
19 to 21 would have the
recreation they need.

Barb Jablonski (junior ) — If
18 year olds are allowed other
adul t responsibilities like
voting, I think it's ridiculous
that they can't drink legally. It
should definitely be lowered.

William Shelton (junior ) — I
think people should be allowed
to drink at 19, because at 19
people have responsibilities and
are considered adults. Waiting
for 21 is stupid.

Sue Hayles ( freshman) — I
feel since a person is an adult,
legally at 18, he should be able
to enjoy all the aspects of
adulthood such as drinking.

become
absurdly
inap propriate.
Since most older students
have jobs and - or family
responsibilities that make fulltime course loads impossible, or
may simply not be interested in
devoting all their time to
studying, or may not hav e the
physical stamina to do so, parttime study beco mes highly
desirable. Yet, the part-time

student is almost always seen
as somehow less significant in
the total college picture than the
traditional full-time student and
some colleges even limit their

who can study full time.

Fence to be erected around p a x l d n g ^} ^

by JIM PEFFLEY
A $9,500, four foot high fence
will be erected around the top
floor of the tri-level parking lot
as a result of last Monday 's
meeting of CGA. The fence will
be used as a safety precaution
when the tri-level is in use,
especially when it is used as a
recreational facility.
The meeting also included the
approval of new officers, a
dis'cussion on the faculty
evaluations at registration, a
report from CAS and reports
from various committees of
CGA.
The tri-level, has long been
used as a hockey field , frisbee
court, and tag-football field.
The top level is emptied of cars
at 6 p.m. every evening,
facilitating such activities.

Students felt such a fence was
necessary because of the
danger over the sports enthusiasts. The top level is
presently enclosed by a two foot
high wall. Approximately five
cases have been noted of
students almost falling over the
edge which would end in a drop
of three stories.
Paul Janssen , executive
council member, has researched bids for the proposed fence
over the 18 months. Only one
company bid for the contract.
This was "due to the fact that the
job " is not very large ( thus
causing large contractors to
shun it) and also it would be a
(causing
demanding job
smaller companies to stray
away from it) .
The construction will'cost the

college approximately $9,50Cy
with the money being used from
the Husky Contingency fund .
Janssen stated tha t the bid was
the least expensive solution and
that it would be raised to $12,000
if not voted upon. The contractors had put a deadline date
of January 28 on the bid.
Alternatives were questioned,
concerning a cheaper solution,
but hone were recommended.
Janssen claimed that he
checked out all possibilities,
including using the newly built
basketball courst between Navy
Hall and Ben * Franklin.
However, this alternative was
dismissed due to the close
proximity of North and Luzerne
Halls. The dorms' windows
would be threatened if the
courts were used for hockey.

After a lengthy discussion,
the council approved the bid.
The fence is expected to be
Hnished approximately by April
1.
Vacancies, due to graduating
members and unexpected
members leaving BSC, were
filled at the meeting. Barb
Fahey was voted in as VicePresident, Willard Bradley as
Corresponding Secretary, Lou
Hunsinger and Cly de Leahy as
Elwell representatives , Lee
Lawrence as Off-campus
representative, Gary Delp as
Montour representative, Kevin
Focht and Roxanna Hunsinger
as commuter representatives
and Scott Blair as executive
assistant to the president.
Barb Fahey, chairman of
the Evaluation committee,
gave a report of the faculty
evaluations conducted at last
week's registration. She stated
that the committee received
five boxfulls of evaluations and
that the job of the committee
now was to sort and tabulate the
results. The results should be
ready for printing and
distribution by mid-semester.
Although a poor evaluation
will not prompt any type of
action the professor should take
note of his evaluation, claimed
Fahey, and try to improve upon
what is cited as a weak area.
Also, she thought that a
professor receiving a good
evaluation should be commended for it.
Ely en Rysz gave a report on
CAS. She discussed the Campus
Cash program of last semester

bound to devote its bureaucratic
resources to the problem of
making education work. There
was too much inefficiency and
incompetence involved in the
present system, so the boys in
Washington got busy and
developed an experimental
program, which if adopted by
institutions, would revolutionize
the field of learning.
Like thinking created the
Manhattan Project , which
developed the atomic bomb.
What was nuclear physics
before Oak Ridge? Before
Bikini or Los Alamos? These
same men were now trying to
accomplish no less a feat. Only
instead of atomic piles, coral
atolls , and sophisticated
research centers, the District of
Columbia big wigs selected an
isolated college in the Pennsylvania woodlands.
It was their intention to pick a
place so isolated that no one
would have heard of it. They
nearly succeeded. They chose
Bloomsburg.
The conversion was very
gradual , but eventually all 6,000
students were relocated among
the other state colleges. It was
awful. There was quadrupling
in Millersville and East
Stroudsburg! But the feds

needed the campus vacated for
the experiment. You see, they'd
come to the conclusion that big
universities were far too costly.
Small , scattered campuses
were the practical solution to
teaching the masses. Yeah, just
like BSC!
Hell, you should have been
around for what happened next,
but you were living in Shippensburg or holed up at
Cheyney, so how could you
know? The researchers were
curious, to^ j see_ what .would ,
happen to the town of Bloomsburg with no college revenue.
As predicted, unemployment
rose 12 percent and soon the
streets were vacant except for
former janitors, receptionists,
and cleaning ladies who wandered around aimlessly while
waiting for the bars to open...
All this was entered into
computers and otherwise duly
logged and noted. Then a
meeting was held at Town
Council. When the investigators
announced that they were
preparing to bring in new
students
an
unanimous
HURRAH burst forth from area
merchants. Some of them honed
their tried ploys with new
venom. Arcus Brothers bought
a new supply of refrigerators
and second hand stereos, Spur
got his greasy hands on a ton
and a half of discount pierogies,
and Pandemonium secured a
fresh stock of pipes and rolling
pa pers ( the good wheatpapers
as a matter of fact). And
everyone let out his breath and
looked forward to a "just-likeold-times" future .
Sorry guys.

Legal advice at BSC

( continued from page two)
to keep the progra m top notch. If the committee needs
more help then for heaven 's sake get more members !
Our point of view is the student lawyer program must
be continued and be continuously upgraded to better
inform students of their legal rights. The only way to
achieve that goal Is to have a committee that is doing
their job properly.
Incidentally, the lawyer is available to any student
who has any legal, questions. Whether your questions
are simple or complex the lawyer is available for free
advice . You 're paying for this service so why not use it.

The first students to arrive
caused a flurry of excitement. It
was like those World War II
iftovies where Ike and his troops
come trapsing through the Arch
de Triomph to the applause of
crowds of happy Frenchmen (or
Frenchpersons). Anyway it was
like that. Banners hung over the
newly paved . sidewalks and
across the unentrenched
streets. These students only
wanted to buy some groceries,
but they became the center of
attention. Kind of like Alices in
"Huskyland if you catch my
drift.
Naturally they were scared as
hell. After all, what kind of
place was this? The only thing
missing was Dr. Lao and his
movie theatre! So of course
they ran; fleeing down an alley
to be shanken by a new horror .
Mayor Remley and the whole
Chamber of Commerce were
marching straight towards
them, bent on giving them the
Muchkin treatment—the key to
the town, that is. You know,
there's such a thing as too much
affection.
So as more students poured in
word got around to do your
shopping late at night and in
large numbers, else you might
be mobbed by townies.
When all the applications had
been filled , 7,500 students were
recruited and housed either on
campus , downtown , or in
outlying rural areas such as
Espy, Forks, and Berwick ( tee
hee) . After a three week
orientation session , "classes
were ready to. begin. The
methods were new , the
management was new, and the
fate of higher education was
dependent on the outcome.
Some joke, huh?

and stated that they recieved a
list of approximately $2000
worth of Campus Cash bucks
which
were
distributed
downtown. Rysz felt the outcome was good, but could have
been better.
Rysz also spoke of the convention in Harrisburg that CAS
members attended
over
Christmas break, which will be
covered in the next issue's CAS
report. She said CAS will hold a
membership drive in February,
and a voter registration week
after Spring break.
It was noted that students are
asked
to
write
their
congressmen concerning the
lowering of the drinking age. It
was
also
noted - that
Congressman Ted Stuban
recently changed his vote from
"yes" to "no", due to lack of
interest on the students behalf.
A list of addresses to write to is
available in the CAS office,
third floor of Kehr Union.
The Recreation Committee
also reported on future plans for
consideration concerning the
addition of a new jogging track
and an ice-skating rink. The
track would be erected around
the tennis courts and football
field adjacent to President
McCormick's house. The iceskating rink is to be a portable
rink placed behind the library.
However, the above proposals
are still only in the planning
stage.
CGA will hold its next general
meeting on February 6 at 6:30 in
the Multipurpose room of Kehr
Union..

Cheyiiey s big onslaught
clouses BSC title hopes

by AL SCHOCH . JR.
A week ago the Bloomsburg
State basketball team was alive
and kicking in the PSCAG east
division. But Monday night's 9360 loss at Cheyney all but
eliminated the Huskies from the
division race.
The Wolves started the night
as if to put BSC away in the first
half , as they raced to a 14-4 lead.
The Huskies got a little closer at
14-10, but CSC kept the heat on ,
as they lead at the half by 36-27.
The beginning of the second
half was the opposite of the
first , as the Huskies got their
act together, and pulled to
within six points at 41-35 with 15
minutes left. But from there on
it was Cheyney all the way.

BSC center Steve Bright was
the workhorse as he scored 18
points, and Buddy Reitnouer
added 10. The Huskies leading
scorer , Al Williams , was held to
only eight points. Cheyney's
Milt "the Magician " Colston
took game scoring honors, as he
hit for 22 points . Tom Stone and
Mike Murphy also were in
double figures , as they scored 13
and 11 respectively.
The tea m statistics tell the
real story of the game. On
rebounds, the Huskies were
beaten 60-38 by the much taller
Wolves. From the field , the
Huskies hit on only 32 percent of
the shots, a sharp contrast to
the 50 percent shooting they did
last week against Millersville.

. The Huskies will try to get
ba ck on the track tomorrow
night when they play " Shippensburg at Nelson Fieldhouse.

Starting off the new year in a
winning manner , the BSC
women 's varsity basketball
team defeated Kutztow n State,
65-53 on Monday evening. The
Bloomsburg junior varsity
opened the activities and its
season, with a 54:44 win over
Kutztown.
Despite the win , the effects of
the long semester brea k were
evident.
Ragged
play
characterized much of BSC's
game. The Huskies, however,
did capitalize on numerous fast

break
opportunities
and
defensively relied on a strong
zone.
Mary Balaban , a BSC forward , seemed undaunted by the
long lay-off. Balaban pumped in
22 points to lead all scorers.
Teammates Julie Ludrof and
Patty Lyons added 12 and 10
points respectively.
The win gives Bloomsburg's
va rsity team a 4-1 record. The
women face the Univers ity of
Scranton next in a make-up
game on Sunday afternoon.
Scranton, who soundly defeated

Kutztow n State, possesses a
strong team and will provide
tough competition for the
Huskies.
In the first game, the BSC
junior varsity got its 1978 season
underway. The squad is under
the direction of Nina Strausser,
who became as assistant to
head coach Susan Hibbs earlier
this
month. * Strausser
graduated from East Stroudsburg State College in 1977,
where she majored in Health
and Physical Education . When
not coaching her winning BSC
squad , Strausser substitute
teaches in the Bloomsburg
area .
Mindy Lerit and Loretta
Sutcliff scored 16 points apiece,
while Lynda Weist added 10 for
the Huskies. The junior varsity
also faces Scranton on Sunday,
with hopes of continuing their
winning ways.
