Housing proposal
shelved by towiir

A proposed housing complex, which would have been able to
house a maximum of 400 college students, has been shelved at a
recent Town Council meeting.
According to Zeisloft Construction Company, the planners had
proposed locating the apartments on a 48,000 square foot 'lot between Iron Street and Knapp Avenue. The plans had called for two
to five structures with 20 or more units each , and four occupants to
each unit.
The major complaints to the project included traffic conjestion,
parking, drainage, and noise. Approximately 25 residents voiced
opposition to the proposal.
According to the town ordinan ce, there must be enough Parking
for two-tmrds of the student residents. It was also noted that there
is no parking availableon either Knapp Avenue or Iron Street .
The proposal was tabled until the members could further discuss
the proposal and review the site.

Color ID 's issued
old ones phased out

by NANCY ROWLANDS
All new incoming students as
well as the present faculty
members will be issued new
identific ation cards. This
pertains to new students admitted in January as well as
evening students.
The old system of ID's is
gradually being phased out of
existence to pave the way for a
new type of ID with color
photographs placed on the front
of the card for ea^.i^r identification .
These new cards have been
requested by the Student
Government for need of color

photos and the cards will be
more durable than the. old ones.
The new ID's are the same
size as the old ones with the only
difference being the color
photograph on the front accompanied by a maroon Husky
and a maroon "BSC" on a gold
back ground.
Upperclassmen and those
already possessing an old ID
who wish to obtain a new one
will be required to pay a fee of
$3.00. This does not mean tha t
new ID' s are required ,
however, all ID's must be
returned to the college upon
graduation whether the student
paid for it or not.

Students geared to help

by JULIE STAMETS
The career planning of underclass students as well as
senior students is the main
interest of The Career
Development Center's new pilot
program which uses "Career
People" as its main wheel of
action.
Career People are a group of
paraprofessional
career
counselors working through the
Career Development Center
who have been specially trained
to aid in a student's career
development, underclassmen
as well as seniors. Each one
having a different major area of
study, the Career People are
available to help a student get
started in the proper direction ,
career-wise.
The ten students who make up
the Career People hold several
duties while operating as

NewBA degree available

by LENORE FIRSCHING
"Mass Communications is
one of the major industries in
the country today — it's a great
growth industry and is very
typical of the 20th century."
These are the words of Dr.
Ralph Smiley of the Speech and
Theater Arts Department when
asked about the new BA degree
in Mass Communications; the
degree will be available at BSC
by the spring semester. It has
been
passed
by
the
Representative Assembly and
has been sent to the Department
of Education in Harrisburg for
finalization.

The program is structured
such tha t a total of 30 credits is
broken up into two parts . The
student must take fifteen
credits of base courses ( such as
Cinematic Appreciation or
Mass Communications and the
Popular Arts) , then fifteen
credits in a sequence in the area
of his choice: radio, television,
advertising,
journalism ,
publicity or speech, (A seventh
area , film , will soon be offered).
"The student can follow any one
of seven paths depending upon
his or her orientation ," Smiley
said.
Smiley
explained
that

although the major has just
recently been passed, courses
have already been offered to
students in anticipation of the
program. There are at least
thirty majors in the program
now. "There will be more
coming, I'm sure, as the nature
of the program spreads and
people learn that the degree is
there ," Smiley said , "particularly when we start
developing facilities for the
program. That is our big need
right now."
In order to develop the
proeram more fullv there will

counselors. Each of the ten
performs five interviews per
week with students who seek
career guidance. Training
sessions are also held every
week for the counselors. Office
time must be put in also with the
time being divided between the
Career Development Center in
Ben Franklin , and the Satellite
Office in the Kehr Union where
the Career People are available
for assistance on Tuesdays.
The Career People also act as
a liason between the various
departments on campus and the
students. Faculty members, in
turn , may recommend to any of
the ten counselors, students who
seek career or academic
counsel.
The
paraprofessional
counselors at BSC also help
students prepare resumes
correctly , and list job vacancies
in such areas as the Civil Service. Students are also made
aware of upcoming and
prospective interviews which
may be in their field of study.
Special programs held by
Residence Halls or clubs are
also accomodated by the Career
People who may plan appropriate speakers for meetings
or other events.
With such a program being in
its pilot stages at BSC ,
paraprofessional counseling,
like the Career People, has
proven very successful at other
colleges.
Success for a program like
this can only be established if
the goals and objectives are
understood. A rapport must be
formed between the career
planning office and the student
which will result in a successful

outreach — to let students oe
aware of the existence of the
Career People. Another goal is
for the Career People to act as a
resource of career information
for students who have ques tions
about their future. There are
about 600 BSC freshmen who
have exhibited a desire for
career help. The Career People
are there to show such students
what facilities are available in
the way of career planning.
By observing a student' s
earlier college years , a
paraprofessional counselor can ,
if necessary, refer a student to a
proper professional on campus
for further career planning or
academic advisement if there
be a need.
The interviews conducted
each week by the Career People
are, perhaps, the most important
aspect
of
the
paraprofessional counseling
program. Questions are raised
during these sessions concerning a student's career and
future plans and goals. The
counselor will then give the
student information concerning
career services and where more
ample aid can be obtained.
The ten upperclass students
who were selected to rve as
the paraprofessional iselors
at BSC were chosen n clause of
outstanding qualities such as
stability, academic ability and
s t r o n g m i n d e d n e s s . The
students were recommended
through persons in their
prospective departments and
interviewed twice before being
selected as Career People. Not
only do the counselors help
others in their quest for career

Donations establish
tribute to Callahan

AND IT'S A STRIKE...Even though It seems the snow has been here for ages some
students never tiro of pldylhg In the white stuff.

by DEB KIRCHDOERFER.
A memorial fund has been founded in tribute to Charles "Chip "
Callahan, a junior art major who died December 7 in a fall from the
roof of the Old Science Hall.
Shortly after Callahan 's death, contributions from students,
faculty ,-staff members, and other citizens began pouring into the
college. Gary Clark and Kenneth Wilson th en established the fund,
which has been growing ever since. It was the desire of Callahan 's
family that displays of sympathy be shown through donations to the
memorial fund instead of flowers, etc.
No definite decisions have been made as to what the fund will be
used for. Suggestions have been made rangin g from scholarsh ips to
buying needed art supplies. However, nothing will be final without
the general concensus of all those involved.
A committee made up of Gary Clark, Philip Krause, and Percival
Roberts has endorsed a request for fun ds from The Association of
Pennsylvania State College and Un iv ersity Faculties (APSCUF) .
Anyone else wishing to, may send contributions to the Charles J.
"Chip " Callahan Memorial Fund , c-o Mr. Frank Lorah , Community Activities Office.
A memorial exh ibition of Callahan 's creative art work has also
been arranged. It will be presented in the President's Lounge
Gallery of the Kehr Union from March 26 to April 21.

Talka tive indecision

Who is going to pay?

$340,000
That's a substantial sum of money and is the
present amount contained within the Husky ContingencyFund, according to CGA Treasurer Jerry
Eisenhart.
For your information the Husky Contingency
Fund is money which had been left over from previous College Government Associations. At that
time the money was being stored up to build the
Union but the State decided to foot the bill and
only a portion of the money was used.
Year after year ideas are talked about and considered but then there's always a problem getting
everyone to agree on what to purchase.
Here I make note that presently $100,000 of this
money is set aside for CGA vehicle replacement,
so the actual figure for spending is approximately
$240,000.
This money cannot be spent on a giant beer
bash nor can we all forget to pay our Community
Activities Fee for a year. It is to be spent for a
permanent improvement to Bloomsburg State
College.
Naturally there are many things the college can
use but indecision is the demon that stops progress
everytime. Portions of the money were used for
Campus Beautification and for the fence to be
erected around the tri-level and a few other things
but even with these purchases excluded we still
come up with the whopping figure mentioned.
We're not trying to advocate that the money be
spent haphazardly but for it to sit idle collecting
interest seems ridiculous. Why not use the money
to benefit the college instead of talking. Talking
will not permanently benefit the college nor will it
provide students with something they can use.
The money has been provided by past students
so it should be used to benefit all of us.
Some ideas considered in the past included
building housing, using it for recreation, building
a pub, investing it in land, and building a conference center . By the way the conference center
would be to hold meetings etc. and seems to us
w i be more of a benefit to only a select portion
of t>oC members rather than benefiting all .
So what we have here is plenty of money land no
concrete proposals or ideas to truly consider for
the benefit of the college.
We strongly urge all students, faculty, administrators, trees, or anybody who has a concrete
idea to please write to the Voice. We will then
publish some of the better proposals in the Voice
and all items submitted will be presented to CGA.
Indecision has kept $240,000 from being used to
truly benefit BSC and its members. Let's stop trying
to please one or two people and purchase something to benefit all of us.

In a few weeks the student
body will be asked to choose
people to fill the executive
positions on CGA for the 19781979 academic year. There will
be shor„t speeches by many
candidates, thinking that they
are qualified , to many groups
on campus, asking for support
and promising almost anything
they might need in the coming
year. Posters will have catchy
phrases and bright colors to
draw your attention to who's the
most artistic, but when it
counts, few will be bold enough
to make solid commitments.
The usual subjects of better
food in the Commons, lower
tuition (or is it basic fee? ) , detripifng and re-aligning the
dormitories will pop us as basis
for debate or discussions. Many
suggestions will be offered
along with countless opinions
about these and other topics,
and one topic which will cause a
furor when the budget committee meets in April at 8:00

by TOBY LOYD
When I was a senior in high
school, something very special
happened to me. One night after
an extremely odd party , I came
home in the wee hours of the
morning and turned on my
radio. Soft strings and piano
flowed gently into my elevated
consciousness and I sat down on
my bed to take off my sneakers,
my soul at peace with the world.
The music continued to fl ow but
the strings soon dropped out and
only the piano remained. All of
a sudden a raspy voice leapt
like a whisper from the stillness
of my room , and it half sung and
half talked as I turned my
complete attention to this interesting intrusion : "The
Ranger's had a homecomin ' in

A final solution is rather
obvious at this point. The fee
will have to be raised to accommodate
the
present
organizations, along with the
new ones. I can hear the griping
and moaning already, but
something will have to be
consummated for the future. As
much as everyone feels that
BSC is not really in the eye of
the nation — one thing is for
sure, and that is inflation hasn't
even passed up Bloomsburg.

Bloomsburg has one of the
lowest (although j ha ve no
exact figures ) student activities
fees in • the Penna. college
system , and believe me, the
dollar just ain 't worth what it
used to be, even from three
years ago .
There are many solutions to
this problem, but one must be
worked out among the s'tudent
leaders YOU elect. (Be sure to
raise this question).
Bloomsburg State College is
not getting smaller, in fact
enrollment increases gradually
each year and therefore there
are more students with interest
in more organizations. If there
is enough interest in forming an
organization , tlien after ap-

proval it will request money
from CGA to enable the activites to be carried out. This
occurs many times and will
continue into the future. No
group or club should be denied
the money they deserve, but
when the treasury is starting to
reach the bottom, a limit is put
on the requests.
Consequently, either new
organizations will be denied
approval, which discriminates
in some manner I'm sure, or
else the present ones will be
cutback without justifi cation,
which is not really kosher.

organization with money,

wisely for each group. Last year
many clubs were denied the

or abstract reasons, rather, the

I began to feel an incredible

pleadingly grabbed me and held

Suddenly, electric guitars and

only a raspy whisper before,
was nearly pinning me to the
floor with an inte nsity I hadn 't
felt in years.
That was two and a half years
ago, and we haven 't heard
anything new from Bruce since.
Why? Mainly because in this
age of hype and commercializ ation , Bruce
Springsteen still cares more
about his music than his wallet.
This is the way it should be for
artists all the time, but it isn 't
and it' s becoming increasingly
rare to find an artist with
enough integrity and faith in
himself and his art to stick to his
guns regardless of how the
public feels or how his manager
feels or how his record company
feels.
Naturally this is a very
idealistic viewpoint to ha ve and
certain realities of living cloud
the picture. I understand the
fact tha t everybody has got to
eat. But when I watch talented
men like the Bee Gee's, Elton
Joh n , and Barry Manilow turn

out the same empty material
over and over again for the sake
of raking in the bucks it upsets
me. There are so many good
artists that are starving
because they won't comprise
their own integrity to make it.
Bruce Springsteen is one of
these rare artists and deserves
to be recognized as such.
So, back to the question ;
Where is Bruce Springsteen?
Well, let's see. First of all,
Bruce had a big fight with his
former manager, Mike Appel
and it involved a law suit that
kept him out of the studio for a
year and a half. During that
time he did a few short tours,
receiving rave reviews and
responses from his audience.
Finally his legal ha ssels ended
last spring and .Che Boss was
able to begin recording.
By this time he'd been out of
the public eye for nearly two
years, but strangely enough,
he'd hardly been forgotten.
Everyone was yelling for a new
album and a release date was
set for the end of August. But
something was holding up
progress in the studio and we
heard that it would be out late
November. Next it was
December, then late January .
What was the problem?
Any other artist would have
had at least a live album out by
then just to get back in the
public eye, which tends to blink
quickly and turn away if there's
nothing there to hold its
precious attention . But not
Bruce. No, he wasn't rushing
anything. He wants this new
album to be perfect. The reason
it's taken so long is because he
has written and recorded fifty

Marathon fever rolls in big $$$

Thirty-three exhausted
people completed 50 hours of
dance in the fourth annual
Dance Marathon , raising over
$9,000 for the Columbian County
Diabetes
American
Association.
Over 50 couples entered the
marathon, and were supported
to the very end by record
breaking crowds of spectators .

By 10 Sunday night, 10 couples
were left intact and 13 dancers
partcontinued without their

The team oi Doreen Richards
and Joe Cioffi were awarded the
annual much coveted "best
dancers intact" award, and
Kathy Swartz and Matt Reed

Billy broke no records

by DEBBIE HEIM
When do you say, Budweiser? ,"; are "weekends
made for Michelob? "; What
about tonight? , "let it be
Lowenbrau". If you love us, like
"they love us, its Schmidts."
How about Pabst , Schlitz ,
Genesee, Old Pub, Ballentine,
Scheaffer, Stegmier, Gibbons,
Yuengling, Reading, Black
Label, Red Cap, Ortliebs, Ccors
and Maximus Super , among the
many, many more beers? Well
beer lovers, make room for one
"Billy. "
more beer
Billy Beer, the beer created
and endorsed by Billy Carter,
brother of our President, is not
exactly booming in sales rates
according to a spokeswoman for
the Catawissa Bottling Company.
Catawissa Bottling Company
is among the local distributors
handling Billy Beer. They have
carried the new beverage since
December and reportedly only

UAf?f^ Atfo DOG

sold around 600 cases, a very
low amount considering the
holiday season.
Although can collectors are
claiming that the can containing Billy Beer will be a
"hot" item in the future, it
seems the product itself is not
going over with as big of a bang
as expected.
"Billy " is brewed by the West
End Brewing Company of
Utica , New York. But why
would Billy Carter want a beer
named after him? Well, Carter
considers himself an avid
connoisseur of fine beers. In
fact, the top of the label reads:
"brewed especially for and with
the personal approva l of one of
America 's all-time great beer
drinkers, Billy Carter."
The new beer, according to
the nation 's First Brother, is "a
little bit stouter" than the
average American beer ;
smooth, easy drinking, and with
quite a bit of flavor.

Carter claims "Billy Beer" to
be the type of beer for people
who like a genuine beer taste
and want to enjoy more than a
few without, as he says, "Explodin'. "
What is in this for Carter?
One of his main goals, jokingly,
is to become the Colonel Sanders of beer. And this is a really
tough goal, with so many beers
competing for the title as
number one, Carter may have a
hard time breaking "Billy" into
the scene. As it stands , it seems
that true beer drinkers require
more than a personalized can,
to attract them to their beers.
However, Billy Beer can be
found at quite a few local
distributors.
Reportedly not tod many
college students are indulging
in "Billy Beer Parties." But this
will probably change . One last
suggestion would be, try
"Billy" with a peanut-butter
sandwich, the two go great
together!

THAT'S THE RUB!...Friends and spectators promoted
the dancers, and massages and pep talks were the law
of the day. After it was all over , people such as these
challenged each other to another 50 hours one year fro m
today.

ARE WE AS RIGID AS RUSSIA...? Absolutely not , if Dr.
Virginia Duck's experiences during an inspection of the
Soviet university system are to be believed.
(Photo by Foucart)

by NANCY FAUSNAUGHT
Writing a coherent , original
composition without any
mistakes might be quite difficult for many students , but for
a Russian student It is one of the
requirements to get accepted at
a University in the Soviet
Union .
Virginia Duck, an English
professor at BSC, explained
that other requirements include
an extensive exam tha t is both
oral asid written. Students must
write a paper their last "year of
high school. It is submitted to an
examination board consisting of
three people who discuss and
grade it. The student must then
be prepared to defend his or her
pa per before the board for 8 to
10 minutes.
Students are also given a
state exam on the theory of
Marxism , and an exam on
Russian composition , a foreign
language , literature , and
history.
Duck .learned this while
visiting universities in the
Soviet Union, Dublin , London,
Leningrad, Moscow, Geneva,
and Paris.

Working on paper strategy

by JEAN KRAUS
It's a common plight among
college students, an inevitable
drudgery to the mind—term
papers!
Each of us,~ at some time in
our educational careers, had to
face the burden of writing a
term paper. Some of us
probably completed the task
alone, while others could have
sought assistance and composed their reports.
Since all college students
would like their finished
products to be highly graded,
library assistance is essential in
developing a well-organized,
interesting and informative
report of meritable nature.
Mr. Frost, BSC librarian,
recently presented a basic
outline on "Term Paper
Strategy " at a workshop
program. His outline describes
a step-by-step procedure in
transforming a selected topic
into a research report.
The first and most important
step of the outline is selecting a
topic for the report. Subject
topics should be specific and
current and students should
make sure information can be
obtained. For those students
who have trouble in selecting a
topic, guides are available in
the library. These guides
present potential topics, briefly
describe how to use the library

Call 387-0245 after 6 p.m.

and instruct students how to
write the paper. "One Thousand
Ideas for Term Papers ,"
written by Robert Farmer, is'an
excellent topic selection guide.
Gathering research material
is the next steo of the outline.
Encyclopedias , pamphlets ,
handbooks, chronologies and
texts are important materials
needed for every repor t. If these
sources of information present
insufficient data , • guides for
research are also available.
These research guides are
designed to suggest helpful
sources of information of
specific subjects. Specific books
and journal articles are
frequently recommended. (A
list of published guides are
available in the library.)
If students everi have
problems in selecting or even
finding a book, the library staff
is available for assistance. It is
important, however, to select
the correct member of the staff
in
asking
a
question.
Professional
librarians ,
members with a Masters
Degree in Library Science , can
help students find different
sources of information for
Nonvarious
subjects.
professionals and student
librarians, who have limited
experience and knowledge, can
help students with locations of
books and use of library

of a delegation of English
professors selected to participa te in a Goodwill People-toPeople inspection program.
Duck , who was the only
Pennsylvanian of the 20 college
professors from across the
nation selected to make the trip,
stated that it was quite an
honor.
The purpose of the delegation
was to learn methods and
working conditions in t the
departments of literature in the
universities they visited, as well
as to attempt to improve
relations and understanding
between Americans and people
abroad.
Duck found the Soviet Union 's
educational system .the most
interesting. She explained that
a child begins school at the age
of seven and goes for 10 years,
and then, if accepted into the
university, spends five years
there.
Only 10 to 25 percent of the
students pass the rigid
requirements and are accepted
into the university. For these
students education is free, and
the very poor are given a
stipend to pay for the cost of
living.

Duck stated that of the 300
students at the University of
Leningrad , 50 to 60 study
English. The curriculum of
English is divided into three
parts: language, theoretical
knowledge such as linguistics,
and Anglo-Saxon literature.
Teaching is done through
lecture and seminar.

student receives a diploma, and
to obtain a degree , postgraduate work must be done.
The average diploma student
earns about 187 reubles a
month, which is equivalent, to
$255.
To teach in a university , a
person must take an exam , and
every five years must reapply
for their job. There is no tenure,
which Duck felt was a good
idea.
In the public schools, Marxist
theory is studied first and
foremost. There are 68 special
interest schools in Moscow. In a
school where English is the
major area of concentration ,
students begin learning English
at age nine. At the public school
Duck visited she saw nine year
olds reciting in English with
only a slight British accent, if
any at all.

Some of the American novels
read in Russian schools are
Tom Sawyer , Uncle Tom 's
Cabin , and To Kill a
Mockingbird.
Duck also served on a committee of professors that wrote
reviews for a book entitled
Adventuring with Books, It is an
annotated . Bibliograp hy of
books for children aged pre-K to
8. The book was published in
September, 1977. Duck was the
only Pennsylvanian to have
served on this committee.

years at the university, a

Project HOPE is not yet in its
fullest form. The Task Force,

Scrimgeour also expressed his
gratitude toward those individuals who are more than

by MELISSA MONCAVAGE
HOPE may be of varied
significance to students on the
campus of B.S.C., but to personnel in the Student Life
Department and the Task
Force, HOPE means Higher
Objectives for People Experiences.
Made a reality by Dr. Jack
Mulka , chairman of the Task
Force, Project Hope is intended
to provide students with
valuable information about life
and living that is often unattainable in the classroom. Until
now , Student Life services
tried to "reach out" to students
either individually or in small
groups. In this way,:/ the
program lacked a formal setting, Project HOPE now follows
a pre-scheduled plan for
workshops held in Kehr Union ,

for presentations are chosen on

from previous programs.
Upcoming themes include :

The Appalachian Trail Conference. The Appalachian Trail Conference functions through a Board of Manag ers, composed of the
Conference officers and three persons fro m each of the six Districts
into which the Trail route is divided . The Chairman is the Conference's executive officer. The Conference is a volunteer,
recreat ional group. The activ ities of the Conference and the
maintenance of the trails are contributed by those who are interested in the project.
Developing a standard marker for the Trail posed a slight
problem. The first marker was an embossed, copper square with
the Trail insignia stamped on it. The softness of this marker made
it the prey of souvenir hunters. Conference Chairman Perkins
designed a diamond-shaped galvanized iron marker with the Trail
monogram on it. However, the main marker for the Trail is a six by
two inch rectan gular paint blaze. These blazes are placed on each
side of the Trail in the direction of tra vel. White is the main color
with blue for the side trails.
The Appalachian Trail was developed through the help of many
interested and concerned people who wanted to preserve the
wilderness areas of America.

as facilities for practical experience, such as a television

however, this is about three

Was the Dance Marathon
a worthwhile event on BSC?

John Trathen - Kehr Union
Program Board — Yes, any
activity such as this, that can
raise $9000 for a charity and, at
the same time, provide enjoyment for the students is a
worthwhile event. All the
dancers seemed to have a good
time and anyone who was in the
union when it ended felt the
excitement in the air.

Wendy Hearn - Sr. — The
dance marathon is a traditional
event that everybody looks
forward to, but the people that
participate really put themselves through too much
physical abuse for the cause.
Door to door collections would
probably gross the same
amount of money, but it would
have less' of a promotional
appeal.

of students'
The present committee is
currently revising that 1970
Statement on Student Rights
and Freedoms, updating it by
eliminating obsolete
regulations and ambiguous
language which, according to
Long, the document suffers
greatly from.
Each member of the committee has been given a section
of the document. They are also
seeking the Campus Judicial
Procedures at the request of the
Campus Judicial Board.
When asked if he knew of any
particular instances of denial of
students' rights currently, Long
stated, "Yes, in the area of
Campus Judicial Policy.
According to the Committee,
the practice of searching rooms
by Student Life personnel is a
violation of Search and Seizure
laws of both the Pennsylvania
and United States Constitutions,
despite the use of administrative search warrants."
He added, "however without the
administrative search warrant
Dean of Students Robert Norton
has indicated he would have to
use security personnel and a
legally recognized search
warrant in its place for such
infractions
as
smoking
marijuanna and drinking in
rooms ,
although
these
procedures are usually used
when searching for contraband,
while the latter practice
threatens students with legal
consequences for their actions,
there is greater protection of
personal freedoms under the
law rather than the Campus
Judicial procedure as shown by
past abuses, which the confidentiality of the students involved prohibits me from
specifying. " *

Bill Bruzgulis - Sr. — The

projects on this campus which
draws the support of most of the
students. It's a shame this kind
of suppor t isn't given to other
such projects.

Paul Pollard - Soph. - Yes,
the marathon is a worthwhile
project , the only problem I saw
was that there were more high

people. As far as that goes, last

attended by college people.

Ivy Jones - Soph. — Yes. A lot

the proceeds went to a worthwhile cause. I hope that the
enthusiasm next year will at
least equal or exceed that of this

Twenty-five players
lead BSC hockey club

by SUE HENNINGER
'
and SUE BARRON
Did you know that Bloomsburg State College has an ice
hockey team? The answer most
people would give is NO, but it's
true we do have a team. It's not
a varsity team, but a club team
which means they do not
receive financial backing from
the college. The players must
buy their own equipment and
pay for ice time themselves,
which can get to be expensive.
Since there is no rink here on
campus or in the town of
Bloomsburg the team has to
travel about twenty five
minutes to the Sunbury Youth
and Community Center rink, for
which the players must provide
their own transportation. The
ri nk is outdoors so the wind
combined with low temperatures can make conditions
pretty severe at times. With all
things considered you can be
sure that we have a good bunch
of dedicated hockey players.

The Herod Experiment: a f a ble

by DUANE LONG
And so it came to pass that the
day before classes a great
gathering was held at Redman
Stadium. Over 8,000 people
were there , including new
students , facul ty, and administrators.
"As Christ our enduring
Savior used parables to get his
message across, so shall we,"
said Clarence P. Grummel, the
chief investigator for the Herod
Experiment.
"In the parable of the soldier
and the centurion we see why a
study such as ours was an
unavoidable necessity. Once
upon a time there lived a
company of soldiers of the
Roman Empire. Now these
soldiers were stationed in
Briton , a strange and savage
land inhabited by Celts, Druids,
and Picts. The Picts were little
better than animals and for
centuries the Celts and Druids
tried to live with them, but to no
avail.
Eventually a crude educational system emerged ,
only to be taken over by Roman
invaders. The Romans were
amazed, Their answer to
cul tural diversity was to
destroy every tribe but the most
easily managed , but this was
too much!
Enough 'of this system was
studied before , like the
American Indian , the Celts and
their Druidic heira rchy were
wholly slaughtered. La ter this
certain centurion was called on
to make a new order of magistii
( teachers ) and embarked on the
next Imperial vessel with his
aide Longihus (no.relation ) who
later was responsible for
piercing Christ's side with his
lance.
Back in Rome a site was
selected and construction was
begun. Soon the citizens were
compjaining .about the increase
^

in taxes. We have the Romans
to thank for originating the idea
that learning comes last in the
order of priorities. Unlike today
private tutors were used extensively, who by and large
were slaves from Greece and
Crete.

One day the centurion went to
the Senate to protest the cutback in appropriations , but like
the Celts and Druids found his
efforts unavailing. Finally,
much reduced from its original
grandeur, the project commenced operation , taking in
pupils from all walks of life as
did its British predecessor . In
contrast to its Celtic source,
however, the more successful it
became, the less abundant the
money was. Soon only the rich
elite could afford to attend , and
in despair the centurion hanged
himself from a pole jutting out
of the main classroom building.
His body was unnoticed by
students as it swayed gently to
and fro in the breeze, dripping
putrescence and hanging under
a stone plaque which read ;
wisdom is the fruit of reflection .
When one student was p erceptive enough to notice an
assailing stench wafting
through the campus... "
There was a chuckle among
the audience when a newcomer
farted loudly.
Grummel shrugged it off ,
going on with the parable.

...

" he told all his firends
a bout it. To his amazement they
told him to mind his own
business. It was all they needed
to have their precious
educations disrupted by a legal
inquiry. In utter disappointment the student, went to
Longinus.

The solider was polishing the
centurion 's armor as though
nothing was amiss. Why do you
persist in this? young Claudius
asked. Is not your centurion
dead and hanging from yon
temple of learning?

Aye, tis so inquiring pupil , but
see you not that I am paid as
much for serving him dead as
alive? So long as the Senate
knows not that my officer has
gone to the gods I am content in
this.
And the next day Claudius
hung beside the centurion .
The following year the Curule
Aodile , who supervised all
public buildings and games,
made a surprise inspection of
the temple. What he found made
him vomit on the spot. Disease
and pestilence had visited the
temple and fewer than ten of the
thousand pupils were still alive
owing to the bacterial plague
caused by the hangin g
skeletons.
Rotten corpses sat eternally
at their marble desks, their
togas faded with yellow ichor,
the noisome baste of decay. On
the benches and walkways
bodies were ( propped up by
wooden framework to make
them look natural; appear
engaged in conversation ,
"What madness is this?!" the
Curule Aedllc roared as the
vomit drooled from his double
chin, His only reply was the
sound of a hammer fi:om inside
the main classroom building.
Therein he found Longinus
and the ten students busily
constructing new frameworks
( for the old ones were forever
wearing-out) . This outrage was
added to by the ghastly
panorams of purple robed

magistri who were dead, like
their students , yet poised in the
midst of spectral eloqution via
ropes and scaffolding.
In a fit of anger to rival
Jupiter the magistrate ordered
the ten sold into slavery and had
the temple of learning torn
apart stone by stone. Longinus
was sent to the most remote
outpost of the Roman Empire.
There, in Palestine, he went
down in history as the man who
pierced Jesus's side."
There was a pause in which
the hubbub rose perceptively,
then Grummel addressed the
crowd.
"Unlike the Roman Senate
and the State of Pennsylvania
we have unlimited funding for
our project. This is to show that
the limiting factor of education
is not strictly money. Can any of
you, after hearing this parable,
tell me what the moral of the
story is? "
"Yeah , someone in the back
shouted , "They should have
hung the magistrate along with
the centurion!"
And unlimited funds to boot,
Clarence fought to choke back
the bile rising in his own throat.
—TO BE CONTINUED-

midway into the second period
Bloomsburg's Avil scored the
first goal of the game. The
game continued with neither
team scoring untjl a very active
third period when Hyatt scored
for BSC making it a 2-0 game.
With only a few minutes left in
the game Bucknell struck again
to tie 2-2.
On January 29., Bloomsburg
played Sunbury. The starting
line up for Sunday morning's
game was on offense Beamer,
Halberstadt and Long; on
defense Pollowski and Hyatt
with Abelman in goal. This
game proved to be a more
exciting and fast moving game
tha n Thursday night's, but a lot
tougher. Sunbury scored the
first goal but shortly after
Beamer scored, assisted by
Halberstadt. Sunbury retaliated
by scoring again making it 2-1 in
favor of Sunbury in the first
period.
In the second period Sunbury
was still going strong by coming
back on the ice and scoring yet
another goal. Bloomsburg 's
only goal in the second period
came soon after by Hyatt
assisted by Barker. BSC could
not keep Sunbury out of their
defensive zone and they scored
leaving the second period
leading 4-2.
The third period looked to be a
turn about as BSC rallied and
Hyatt scored , assisted by
Beamer and Halberstadt. Still
fired up by Hyatt's goal BSC
came back with Beamer
scoring assisted by Avil, to tie
the score 4-4. But once again
Sunbury pulled together and
scored. Bloomsburg still
pushing, fought from behind to
tie the game once more with a
goal by White who was assisted
by Scheetz. BSC held strongly
until the last few minutes when
Sunbury scored two times
leaving the final score 7-5.
The games are played on all
days except Wednesday. So
keep your eyes and ears open
for when the games are
scheduled and if you have a free
evening ( and a way to Sunbury )
come out and suppor t BSC's
fine, new hockey club.

points.

The team 's captain is freshman Angle Taormina. She is
one of the team 's two all-around
performers .
"Angie is a very strong,
dedicated worker ," commented Schaeffer. "She helps to
pull the other girls together."
Most of the girls on the team
are freshmen and sophomores.
There is one jun ior member,
Sandy Eckhart.
Schaeffer explained that at
practices, all the girls work on
at least two events.
She added , "Everyone
tumbles at every practice.
Tum bling is the basis for all
apparatus work."
The girls have found it hard to

work as regimented as
Schaeffer has made it. She

prepare."
The Huskies will host Ursinus
on February 24.

BSC grapplers
trounce Indiana

by ED HAUCK
Three pins by Husky
wrestlers highlighted the match
in which the grapplers, of BSC
overpowered
Indiana
University of Pennsylvania by a
score of 39-5.
The first pin of the match was
also the first match. At 118 lbs.,
Mike Nock (BSC) toyed with his
opponent Bill Shepherd and
then rolled him onto his back at
1:42 into the first period. Carl
Poff (BSC) also scored a pin in
the 134 lb. class as he built up a
16-1 lead and finally put Bill
Morose ( IUP) on his shoulders
55 seconds into the third period.
The fastest pin of the evening
came in the 177 lb. match-up
when Dominic DeGiacchino
(BSC) did not even brea k a
sweat and up-ende d Keefe
McNamara (IUP) with only 25
seconds gone in the match.
(BSC)
Tony
Caravella
registered a superior decision
over IUP's Jeff Conklin, in the
150 lb. clash, by a score of 16-4.
Two major decisions, also attributed to Bloomsburg were
recorded in the 126 lb. and 190
lb. bouts. Tom Fink (BSC)
whitewashed Jeff Huff (IUP ) in
the former match by a score of
13-5, while Butch Snyder (BSC)
came out on top of Randy
Kondrlick (IUP), 11-3. Snyder 's
match brought the crowd noises

to a roar when he nearly pinned
his opponent four times, but was
frustrated and had to settle for a
majo r decision.
The two remaining wins for
the Huskies were in the 158 lb.
decision
and
in
the
Heavyweight class. Gibbe s
Johnson (BSC) fought back in
the final period with seven
points to break an 8-8 stalemate
against John Suckinos (IUP)
and won the bout by a score of
13-9. HWT. Mel Sharp scored a
7-0 wipe-out of Dave Holmes
(IUP) to keep up his string of
dual meet victories at 9-0.
BSC's only loss came at the
142 lb. match when Glenn
Schneider (BSC) fell victim to
IUP's Jeff Meckley by a 2 point
margin of 8-6. In that bout
Schneider injured his right kn ee
but continued his match until
the final period ended.
IUP's 2 other points came in
the 167 lb. match when Leszak
Radon (BSC) drew with IUP's
Frank Perna , one of their more
prominent wrestlers, with a 5-5
tie;
The win over Indiana puts
Bloomsburg State at a 9-2
record into the season and they
are still ranked in the 'also ran '
column of National Mat News.
The Huskies will travel to the
University of Buffalo to take on
the Bulls on th eir home turf.

Lehigh (80 points ) , and East
Stroudsburg (50. However, a
disqualification in the distance
medley cost the Huskies points.
Steve Eachus ( three mile run) ,
and Jeft Carruthers (high
jump ) were the only first places
the Huskies could muster. A
high note was Carruthers
setting the meet record in the
high jump, clearing the bar at
6'10" , Carruthers did attempt to
jum p 7', but failed.
Hinkle feels that this was an
important meet for the Huskies.
It showed that the team was still
close to ESSC, one of the main
competitors for the outdoor
PSCAC crown, Also the meet
showed solidarity in the
program. "Some of our young
people need work ," added
Hinkle, "but when we get

outdoors, we will benefit from
our indoor meets."
One thing Hinkle cleared up
was what the ICAAAA is, For
one thing, it stands for the Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletes of America .
This is sort of a "super conference", similar to the ECAC.
There are 105 schools in the
IC4A in different groups. There
are mostly eastern schools, but
some are as far west as Notre
Dame. This conference is not
the only one of its kind , as there
are similar setups in different
regions of the country. . .
In summary of the team,
Hinkle feels that through all
aspects of the program, plus
realistic concentration on goals,
the tra ck tea m will have one of
their best years ever.

Indoor trafck in full swing

by AL SCHOCH , JR.
Although they lost six men
through
graduation , the
Bloomsburg State track tea m
feels that through new coaching
strengths and the indoor season
they will be stronger than ever
in 1978.
"We are very optimistic
through our personnel", said
head coach Carl Hinkle. "We
have the bulk of our progra m
back in All-Americans Steve
Eachus, Stan Kita , and Jeff .
Carruthers. "Although we have
a young team, they are strong. "
The new coaching staff will be
a benefit for the team. In the ten
previous years of the program ,
Hinkle was the only coach. This
year, three assistants were
added. Clyde Noble will coach
distance runners. Jim Taylor

the sprints, and Jan Hensen will
hea d the women's track team.
"The women ' s program is
necessary, " commented
Hinkle. "In addition to the 75
men, there will be between 30
and 40 women. "
The indoor track program is a
growing sport all over the
country, and at BSC the
program is in full swing.
Although there is no leagu e
competition in indoor track ,
Bloomsburg has meets against
most of the PSCAC schools, The
program also gives the team
experience in running against
quality competition as well as
preparing them for the outdoor
season.
The first indoor meet of the
new yea r saw the Huskies, with
47 points, place third behind
