. Sophomore Vince LaRuf fa , a
Resident Advisor in Elwell Hall
is running for ^President of the
Community ' Government
Association for the W9-79
academic year. His main
concern is, obviously the
students, but feels that too
many issues that could have
been solved in the past have
been overlooked and not acted
upon in a reasonable amount of
time.
"A problem such • as offcampus housing has not been
dealt with adequately enough
by GGA and 1 feel it would be
our responsibility to assist in
the problems that do arise."
LaRuffa went on to propose that
an off-campus housing , committee be set up by CGA to
problems
handle
these
specifially.
Another issue that has been in
the news lately is the parking
problem tha t affects the towns
people and the students who
own non-registered vehicles.
"A proposal that was made at
the CGA meeting called for the
students to park up near Nelson
-Fieldhouse and have shuttle
' buses to go back and forth more
frequently. I don't think that too
many students will buy that and
even though no one has come up
with a plan that everyone
agrees on, I feel that something
must be done before next

by SUE POTTER
Incumbent CGA President,
Joe Surdoval is seeking, reelection next week. He has not
developed a platform , but is
relying on his past accomplishments to get him reelected.
If re-elected; Surdoval plans
to Continue many of the
programs and projects now in
existence.
He would like to see the
faculty evaluations continued
and
improved.
These
evaluations are now being
compiled. Surdoval hopes they
will be made available to
students before pre-registering
for the fall semester concludes.
He is also working on
possibilities for concerts to be
held at the Bloomsburg
Fairgrounds. This setting would
allow for more popular groups
to appear. The Fairgrounds
supervisors have been approached with the subject.
. Surdoval plans to continue
investigation of the General
Biology I exams. Students are
forbidden to see exams after
they are graded. Some of the
questions on semester exams
are included on the final and
students have no way of
knowing what questions they
had wrong. Surdoval would like
to see the exarns returned to the
students.
Surdoval's top priority is offcampus housing. He is attempting to promote a staff in
the Housing Office specifically
for off-campus housing. According to Surdoval, there are
1700 students living off campus.
He feels that a full time staff is
needed to represent such a
great number of students.

The Community Activities fee
has been raised five dollars a
semester as a result of a
proposal passed at the recent
meeting of CGA.
The three-part proposal,
which passed with an almost
unanimous decision, will raise
the student and faculty Community Activities fee, raise
mileage rates for CGA vehicles
and raise the amount used for
meal expenditures.
According to Frank Lorah,
Student Life Accountant ,
Bloomsburg has had the lowest
Activities fee of all Pennsylvania state schools, except
for Edinboro's, which is the
same as BSC's. Lorah summarized that monies collected
from the fees would total approximately $376,000. However,
CGA ; expenditures totaled over
$385,000 for the previous year. A
difference would be left of over
$9,000. . *
Two solutions were given to
the problem of increasing costs.
The first was to raise the fees as
follows: from $30 to $35 a
semester for students and from
$12.50 and $20 to $15 and $25 for
faculty, depending on whether it
is for one member or family
usea ge.

BSC to host
S upa-Stars Contest

^>y EILEEN CALLAHAN
ABC lookout ! TV networks aren't the only people who promote
athletic super competitions. On Sunday, March 12, Nelson
Fieldhouse will house the best college athletes in Pennsylvania
when Tau Kappa Epsilon sponsors the first annual Pennsylvania
Collegiate Supa-Star Contest.
Supa-Stars is sponsored by TKE, and will serve both as a fundraiser and as service project for the BSC community. Invitations
have been sent to athletic departments of all colleges across the
state. The deadline for admittance is March 6.
This event will help the BSC community through the publicity,
and through donations of two $200 scholarships. Also, the. money
raised will be used for expenses incurred by TKE for their instailatiori'in:the national' association.
The brainchild of John Eichenlaub, the event is being publicized
throughout the Commonwealth. Responses are already pouring in
from the manyxolleges. "TKE would like to coordinate this project
with the campus. As you can see from the scholarships, the project
is beneficial to people other than TKE brothers," Eichenlaub explained.
Supa-Stars has the one hundred percent backing of the college
community, and has received offers of assistance as well as
financial backing from CGA. The coaching staff is already
preparing the fieldhouse for the onslaught of athlete's from across
the state.
The athletic facilities available on campus will be open to the
scrutin y of students and faculty, as well as family and friends of the
competitors.
Requirements
The contest is open to anyone enrolled in a Pennsylvania collegejuni or, community, state or university. TKE has adopted the
slogan : "DOES YOUR COLLEGE HAVE THE BEST ATHLETES
IN THE STATE?" An entrance fee of $15 will be charged, which
includes a certificate of participation and a commemortive T-shirt.
Eight events will be offered, including: archery, swimming,
weightlifting, foul shooting, 50-yard dash, Softball accuracy throw,
an obstacle course and the mile run . Contestants can participate in
six events- "no more, no less".
The competition is open to both men and women, who will
compete on an equal basis. "The women will not receive a han(continued on page seven )

Deadbeats' cause
program problems

AND THE NEXT QUESTION IS..J00 Surdoval and Vince LaRuffa ponder the next dobate question posed by Jerry Seltzer at Monday night's debate between the CGA Presidential candidates.
(Photo by Hough)

by LENORE FIRSCIHNG
The Alumni Association at
BSC has provided financial help
for many people in the past;
however , thanks to certain
"dpadbeats " — those who
"forget, " neglect or refuse to
repay their debts after
graduation — the progra m may
be in for a few problems.
Donald A. Watts, Executive
Director of the Alumni
Association , is working to
prevent this by "cracking
down " on those who have
delinquent loans, some of which
go back ten or fifteen years.
"Some have never paid one cent
of their loans," Watts said ,
"They're wha t I would call
deadbeats."

The money in the Alumni
Association 's student loan
p rogram ( the McNinch Fund)
provides aid for students up to a
maximum of $1500 in a fouryear period . While the student is
in school, the loan remains
interest-free; the firs t payment
must be made four months after
graduation at 6 percent interest.
Watts is ..the firs t full-time
Executive Director of the
Alumni Association ; he has held
this position for two years, Until
he took the job , the Association
was a completely non-paid
volunteer organization which
held only four meetings a year.
Watts feels that this' may be a

Play: i* again Joe

" It's CGA election time once again. Time to evaluate the
candidates and decide who you feel is rpost capable of running the Community Government Association. Monday and
Tuesday will be the time to express your feelings by voting
in thecandidate most qualified. . ..
,.
/
1 There will be no primary this year since there aren't any
more than two people running for each office. Vince LaRuffa
and Joe Surdoval are both running for president of CGA.
Surdoval the incumbent is the candidate we are supporting.
Our support of Surdoval rests on many reasons, the primary
one being that he has proven by his past' presidency that
he is capable of running a very successful CGA. His opponent
LaRuffa has. not. had great success in any organization that he
has headed, specifically being the President of the present
Soph, class: In our estimation he lacks the necessary experience to run CGA in a benefical manner for students.
Much of LaRuffa's support stems from his,wide popularity
and personality as was pointed out at the candidate debate
held earlier this week. However , looks and personality do
not get this accomplished. There must be leadership qualities
that can be displayed to other people and that can be utilized
for the best interests of BSC.
Personality can win LaRuffa the election but we are not
electing a social director or Homecoming Sweetheart; we
are electing a key position in college life.
Surdoval has in one year accomplished many things.as part
of his presidency one being the independent student evaluation of faculty. This is the first time ever students could
actually evaluate the faculty from their point of view rather
than some computerized sheet. He has also pushed for better
housing and has been vital in President McCormick's decision
to allow CGA to fund students in legal matters. Yes, CGA
is funding a student landlord case.
Aside from the things mentioned, Surdoval has made
himself available to all students and has been the most dedicated president we've had in quite some. time. He stands
firmly on what he believes and through this year he has
matured to a level that provides him with the insight needed to run CGA.
If LaRuffa is capable of the job, then where is his knowledge concerning CAS, the SCUD (State College University
Directors) board, and his success as a leader? Promises
do not run a college nor do excuses .
LaRuffa has openly admitted to his unsuccessfulness as
a class officer and can only promise that he Will prove himself if elected. LaRuffa has made attempts to provide his
class with activities but to date they have not been fruitful. The students of BSC cannot take the chance that his
leadership ability will fail him again. This is a serious matter and important election and should be thought of in that
way be every student.
We need a leader who is willing to devote himself to the
students of BSC in a very serious and concerned mariner.
We do not need another social director on campus .
So if you 're looking for a CGA president who will do the
job for students and who will be responsible then vote
Surdoval.

'hear Eddy ?"
by E d Hauck

Dear Eddy ,
I hope I'm not out of line
writing to you like this, but no
one else will listen to me. My
problem is a multi-facited one.
As a freshman I am confused
by all the running around at the
beginning of each semester and
finding myself sitting in the
large auditoriums for mass
lectures. It's very impersonal
and I take it personally. The
profs scare me; especially when
they hand out those computerized answer sheets for
tests and then say "it's time to
Christmas tree it" when there is
two minutes left in the period.
Another problem is my two
roommates. One of them is a
head and the other is a fashion
model, so at times the room
resembles an opium den or Saks
Fifth Ave. The place is filled
with the latest from Paris and
enough paraphenalia to rival a
warehouse that is overstocked.
The result from this is that I
have no closet space and I get
high every time I breathe in my
room.
I can usually handle those
two, sometimes, but another
source of anxiety is my R.A. She
is forever programming activities for the floor and when I
tell her I don't want to participate she immediately asks
me why. She starts to mumble
terms like Gestalt theory,
Freud, rolfing and Erickson and
tells me that the "counseling
center here is just great" which
is all well and - good, but she
makes me more paranoid than
anyone.
Still, an occurrence that adds
to his tension is the eatingarena. The food is tolerable, but
I just wish that they would hire
a dietician that believes tha t
veal is good once a week instead
of once a day. One thing that
irritates me more than anything
else in there is when you put two
pieces of bread in the toaster
and return to find that they have
been stolen by a ruthless starchfreak.
I've seen this man on campus
that always wears three-piece
Pierre Cardin suits, and works
in Carver Hall. Someone told
me he was the president, but I
didn't think Jimmy Cartef wore
glasses ana looked like Clark

Dealing with
writing skills

by NANCY FAUSNAUGHT
"College students are expected to be or to become
literate."
This is a statement from the
list of recommendations put out
recently by the Committee on
the Student's Use of English.
The committee was formed
due to concern about college
student's poor writing abilities.
The committee has compiled a
list of suggestions and
recommendations to help
students improve their writing
skills.

Dr. Thompson, chairperson of
the English department and CoChairperson of the committee,
explained that their goal is to
help students become better
able to write and to make efforts to help themselves.
Thompson stated that it is
also their goal to get faculty
concerned, about student
writing; not only the English
department faculty, but ail
other departments as well.
Thompson explained that
many students have the idea
that "good writing" is of concern only to English teachers.
Courses in English Composition
lay the , groundwork for improvement, but old habits may
recur when students write for
other courses.
The Committee recommends
that teachers in all other
courses help to reinforce good
writing skills.
One of the recommendations
is to have students do some
writing In every, course where

possible.
Teachers should notify
students at the start of the
semester that they will expect
written work to be organized,
developed, precise, and clear.
Teachers should explain why
good writing is important.
Another recommendation is
that teachers resist student
arguments such as "this isn't a
course in Composition," and "I
have the facts right-, though." It
is the, committee's belief that
poorl y
written
material
produces misunderstanding and
is time-consuming to read.
Other recommendations by
the committee are to refuse to
ignore poor writing; explain
weaknesses,
have . work
rewritten, lower the grade of
poorly written work (with an
explanation to hep produce
improvement) , and send
students with unusual difficulties to the Writing Lab,
BCH 101.
A copy of these suggestions
and recommendations has been
sent to the entire faculty and
administration of BSC. It is the
hope of the committee that
professors in all departments
will help to encourage improvement of students writing
ability.
Dr. Thompson explained that
poor writing of present - day
college students is a nationwide
phenomenon ; to whatever
extent it can be solved locally
will improve both the academic
performance and potential
value of BSC students when
they graduate.

they really as stuffy ' as
Americans build them up to be?
What is Russia like behind all
the myth and stories told about
it?
These are some questions Ken
Pack, a junior Political Science

Unlike the majority of the
American public, Pack had the
gumption to find the answers.

ference in the accommodations
is evident. Unlike those in
America, Russian hotels do not
provide maid service. Towels
are provided but you must bring
your own soap. Rooms are
small, compact. Bathrooms are
down the hall.
Some features of daily living
would seem to be alike in most
civilized cultures. Take soda
and ice cream as examples.
How could they be any different
than wha t Americans know
them to be? Aside from Pepsi,
which costs twice its American
price and is extremely difficult
to obtain, Russian soda is not
like its American counterpart.
"Its bad," says Pack. "It fizzes
but its flat. It tastes like pastte." He refers to ice cream as
primitive. Its in a square block
and you push it up from the
bottom . Its different. "

"Russians are big on the
war," commented Pack. They
visit monuments honoring their
dead for the same reasons
Americans picnic at Valley
Forge. Monuments visited by
the group were those erected in
honor of women and children,
men, soldiers, aged and others
lost in World War II. They want
everyone to be aware of the
sacrafice they made. "
Pack feels his journey was
very worthwhile and would like
to return to Russia for the 1980
Olympic Games. "The people
were very friendly, outgoing.
They had a sense of humor.
Russian people were warm and
not afraid to talk! They value
frienship; you were their friend
for life." Yes, Russians do smile
and they are, according to
Pack, a happy, friendly people.

A notable session, which will
be held on March 8 at 7:30 in the
Bakeless Faculty Lounge, will
feature Professor William
Plank , who will speak on
Samuel Beckett and that
genius's puzzling work, "The
Unnameable".
Everyone who has anything to
share is strongly encouraged to
attend these meetings or
possibly speak at one of them.
Students who are preparing
interesting term papers are
suggested to read them to the
group and exchange ideas.
The administration and
faculty promote the,Series. Dr.
Smithner, a man whose interest
in scholars has influenced him to devote his
time with the Idea Series,
strongly recommends this
program. He states, "There
is not enough interdisciplinary
exchange of ideas at BSC.
Education is found in the synthesis of ideas, not by staying in
the rut of one's own emphasis."

Extended education offered

If you are the type of person
who is interested in improving
your capabilities but can not
cope with the structured ,
competitive
atmosphere
required to pursue a degree, the
School of Extended Programs
at Bloomsburg State College
has numerous educational
opportunites to offer.
The Non-D egree-Credit
program is designed to allow
enrollment in regular undergraduate credit courses.
Although these courses are
taken for credit , you are not
required to fulfill standard
college admission policies.

Moscow.
Although the Russian tour
focused on the lives of the
people and not the academic
structure, a day care center in
Riga was visited. Parents drop
their children off in the morning
and pick them up around 4 p.m.,
much like American day care
centers. Differences in the
programs are obvious.
A Russian day care center is
regimented, children are indoctrinated at a very early age
with the ideologies of the state.
According to Pack, children are
very orderly. Their storage
spaces are neat and well kept.
"A stratifyed society is
evident," says Pack.
Another similarity of life
styles in Russia and the United
States is dress, Russians are
becoming more western in their
attire. Womenjwear bold, bright
print dresses'!' like American
women did a few years ago.
Pack quoted twenty-five rubles
or twenty sj x dollars as a
realistic price for a pair of his
jeans. The luxury Americans
take for granted run from
thirty-five to fifty dollars in
Russia. "We sold a lot of jeans
over there!"
f
These American tourists slept
in hotels as Russian visitors to
America might. A vast dif-

Suggested that the programi be
continued with local people who
wished to share the products of
their continuing research of
other topics of interest. Thus,
the Idea Series now consists, of
speakers from the college' and
community. The main purpose
of the series is still to allow
people to share their opinions
and rebut other ideas, while
delving into and learning about
the issues which arise. ' '
Highlighted in the Arts and
Science Series so far this year
have been topics in ecology;
evolution , and psychology.
Recently, Dr. Smiley led the
discussion on the topic, "Insights on Film Making ". In

student actors in a rather large

Election issues debated
(continued from page one)

centives and aspirations concerning the position.
Concerning preparation for
the position, LaRuffa , stated
that" he felt the summer
orientation required for " the
position would aid him greatly
in gaining knowledge for the
role of President. He also added
that his experience of serving
on CGA for two years would also
help. Surdoval felt tha t he has
gained a grea t deal of information fromhehis term this
has been
^year. Since
President for a year, he feels he
will be able to continue with the
job immediately, without the
problems of becoming oriented.
Both contenders stated their
positions on Housing problems.
Surdoval would like to ha ve
John Abell, Housing Director,
place off-campus housing as his
top priority. LaRuffa would
plan to have one major person
to go in depth with Housing.
Both candidates suggested
other ideas, including the use of
trailers and a shuttle bus
system.

A question was raised concerning their stands on the
parking problem and their
possible solutions. LaRuffa felt
that a reduction of the number
of students with cars would aid
in solving the problem. Surdoval emphasized the use of
shuttle "busses.
The use of the increased
Activities fee was questioned.
Surdoval would plan to look at
organizations funded by the fee
and note the number of students
involved, what the organization
has done for BSC and how many
students the club benefits.
LaRuffa claimed he would look
for the same three items. ,
CGA is heavily influenced' by
and hands .reports to the SCUD
(State College and University
Directors). The ; candidates
were asked which problems or
topics they would present to the
board. After being informed of
what the SCUD Board was,
LaRuffa claimed he would
emphasize racial problems,
while Surdoval would question
the increasing costs yet
decreasing allocations allotted

(continued from page one)
Meal expenditures for away
trips, etc. would have to be
raised from $7.50 per day to $9
per day.
The second solution to the
problem was to cut back on
allocations , for campus organizations . The cut back
would be affected by the
type, one , anu importance
of the club; Jerry~ Eisenhart,
CGA Treasurer, stated that the
small interest clubs (for
example, the ski club)' would be
hurt the hardest since they
would have the most difficulty
justifying their allocations.
Fee Increase Clarification
A discussion ensued, mainly
to clarify the need for the fee
increase. Cathy Lucrezi , CGA
Historian , stated that the
college would definitely be
lacking many organizations if
allocations were cut back.
Organizations are only allowed
to have one fund raiser per
which
would
semester,
definitely not pay for all their
expenses.

Ruth Rappaport, member of
CGA , claimed that "it' s
inevitable. E.verything else is
going up." She further spoke on
student reaction. Although
many people will think the fee
should , not be increased, she
emphasized the fact that the
clubs, activities and facilities
(including Nelson Fieldhouse
and Centennial Gym) are
available for student use and
are paid through the Activities
fee. "Nobody says students
can't become involved."
Another item which would be
affected if the raise were not put
into effect would be that there
would belittle reserve money
left for next year. The installation of new programs and
athletic tournaments are two
areas which are paid for by the
reserve money.
It was noted that CGA
representatives had been asked
previously to discuss the matter
with the • students they
represent.
The proposal was passed by
the council and must be ap-

to BSC.
Both candidates had an interest in academic problems.
Both felt that continued work
with the Representative
Assembly would be a great
asset in aiding these problems:
Neither candidate claimed to
have any present" ideas.,as to
who they would select to head
the BSCC (Bloomsburg Student
Concert Committee).
Concerning student invorvement, Surdoval would
encourage more student input
to CGA. LaRuffa felt that his
personality would aid in talking
and working with fellow
students.
Prior . to the debase, : the
remaining candidates for CGA
offices introduced themselves.
Willard Bradley and Frank
Maloney are the candidates for
Vice-President. Ruth Rappaport Js running
for
Corresponding Secretary, while
Beverly Howard is' running for
Recording Secretary. Debbie
Heffner is the candidate for

dollars sitting in the Husky
Contingency Fund, which is
part of CGA monies, LaRuffa
has said that he would like to
look into the possibilities of
purchasing run:down houses in
the town, renovate them and
rent them out tcstudentS at a
reasonable price.
"This would also come under
the Off-campus housing committee that would be set up, "
LaRuffa continued, ''the profits
could be used for maintenance
and after a while the profits
could be large enough to buy
more houses for more students.
This could only serve to benefit
both town and college
relations. " *
The Business Administration
major also sees that the faculty
evaluations must be dealt with
immediately.
* We will have to approach the
administration and see what
can be done with them besides
keeping students away from
profs that they don't like and
have them fill the classes of who
they think are easy graders,"
said LaRuffa. "I want to know if
these evaluations, will effect
someone's tenure or is it just a
waste of time to evaluate a
person that will just scoff at the
results. Another academic
problem is in the Biolpgy I
Classes. The students never get
to see what questions they get
wrong and I'm willing to try to
have that rule done away with
because if a student can not see
what he gets wrong then it
seems futile to take a test such
as that. "
The Bio. I issue, though,
would be a joint effort between
both CGA and the Representative Assembly.
Talking about the Candidates
Night on Monday last, LaRuffa
said , "I admit I was a bit
ignorant about some of -the
questions posed, but! think that
it might serve me better to be
openminded and not prejudiced
about certain issues. When a
problem is explained to me, by
either the administration or
another member of CGA, then I
will better understand and be
more objective about a possible
decision or point of view."

mobile home purchase in his
platform last year was not
carried out. "After going to
Bucknell with people from
housing last year we found that
purchasing trailers for the
upper campus was not
monetarily, feasible to benefit
more than 40 students." Permission was > needed from the
state to use the upper campus
for this purpose and permission
was not granted.
Parking is also a priority of
Surdoval. He is looking into the
feasibility of setting up a shuttle
bus system "which would allow
students to live farther off
campus than they can now if
they don't have a car. Students
living across the river out at
Wonderview and in other areas
that are out of walking distance
would be benefited."
Surdoval feels students may
be able to find cheaper housing
farther from campus and
shuttle busses will facilitate
matters in this area. Shuttle
busses will also help eliviate
parking :- problems. ''Students
that live in Elwell Hall that
want to have a car on campus
could keep it up at the
fieldhouse where they can have
a parking space and it would be
easy enough for them to get up
there and get it."
Last year, some of Surdoval's
platform promises were not
carried out. "So instead this
year, rather than promising
exactly what I am going to do
and making claims which in
some cases won't work out, I
will emphasize my accomplishments. This shov. that
I am in a position to bt very
effective, since the collee has
never . had the opportunity, of
having a student that has
already served in the position
and does not need orientation to
come in and keep the ship
going. "
Surdoval finished by stating:
"Last year I came in with some
experience but even with the
large amounts of experience I
had, it took me months and
months to get to know
everything that was going on in
school. This year I have an
opportunity to pay back the
students for electing me last
year."

reason why repayment of
delinquent loans has not been
enforced ; the organization was
loosely-woven and without
supervision. "That' s part of my
job now," Watts said, "to
supervise student loans and to
supervise collection of them."
In the past, anyone who was
recommended by the Financial
Aid Committee was eligible for
a student loan; different faculty
members who knew the applicant were not consulted as to
whether he was dependable ,
honest or reliable. Some loans
were granted by telephone. For
this reason Watts feels that
many applicants received loans
who shouldn't have.
Action taken
Student loans of $65,000 have
been, given out in the past.
About $17,000 which accounts
for about 40 people, are
still delinquent in loans .
Under Watts' supervision, the
Alumni Association has begun
to notify those having
delinquent loans. Watts sends
each one a personal letter
requesting that, the debt be
repaid If there is no response,
another letter is sent. 'After
three letters, if no move
make
is
made
to
payment, the case will be
taken to an attorney. The
debtor's cost will then be increased — he must not only
repay his loan with interest, but
also pay the attorney 's fee.

debt. ; .

Problems faced
Some of the problems encountered by Watts in collecting
loans include women who have
married and .don't work whose
husbands refuse to repay their
debts, those who cannot be
located arid those who actually
think they haye paid back their
loan (Watts gave an example of
a couple who thought they had
paid their Alumni loan when
they had repaid their NDSL).
Usually after . notification the
people are willing to repay, but
some have been notified a
number of times and still make
no attempt to pay.
"It's very'unfair to the people
who have repaid to have others
delinquent," Watts said ^ "and
it's ruining the student fund of
the Alumni Association. We're
at the point now where we really
don't want to use the money."
He ' explained that the
Association will probably
request that the money

remaining in the McNinch Fund
be changed[ from .a .student loan
to a direct: scfoiarehip/ fund.
"The student loan problem has
been sd horrendous that it vybji id
be better if we'df jjist take 'the;
money frbrii the investments to
build up scholarships and give
mem'to ;'Uie ' ' pe(^le >ratfier !fHan:

There aren't a lot of requests
for Alumni loans riovVbecausePolf
the availability of bther money;
and aid — scholarships, tuition;
work programs,- formal grants*
etc. — must be; cleared by the
Financial Aid - Officer: ; This
prevents a few *' people from
getting more than they ;• need
when others don't get enough.
Proceduresnoted
Anyone desiring an Alumni
loan must be personally hv
terviewed by Watts; the: applicant must have exhausted all
other avenues of aid and justify
his need for the loan- "The
money is not intended for
telephone bills, automobiles or
socializing — it's to help the
student with tuition, books and
incidentals he needs in order to
stay in school," Watts said.
Watts has found so far that his
attempt to collect on old debts
— some as small as $10 — has
been
f ai rly
successful ;
however, a whopping sum of
$17,000 still remains unpaid.
"It's a shame the program has
to be ruined," he .said, "It's like
taking advantage of a good
friend who has helped you out."

In their final game of the
Bloomsburg
season , the
varsity
basketball
women 's
team
trounced
Bucknell
University, 92-56 on Monday
night. Mary Balaba n led the
Huskies' scoring spectacle with
her game-high 29 points.
First half
The first half saw much fastpaced, end-to-end basketball. It
was a high scoring period in
which the teams traded
baskets. Neither team pulled
ahead in the early going.
Bloomsburg opened the game
in a zone defense, while
Bucknell used a player-toplayer defense. Both teams
were able to penetrate inside
until BSC switched to a playerto-player defense. Bucknell's
taller players, who had been
carrying their team , were

stymied.

Balaban leads the way
The key factor for the Huskies
was Balaban , who pumped in 17
points in the opening half.

Behind her offensive pla„y,
Bloomsburg built as much as an
11 point lead in the first half.
Bucknell battled back late in the
half and the period ended with
BSC out in front , 42-35.

The BSC women's gymnastic
team put on an exhibition at
halftime, performing various
skills.
The second half opened with
BSC (extending its -lead) and
continuing its scoring spree.
Bucknell remained scoreless
for the first three minutes ; even
after that their baskets were
few and far between. Bloomsburg totally domina ted play in
the final half—out-scoring, outhustling, and out-rebounding
the visitors.
Balaba n led all scorers with
29 points, Julie Ludrof , Patti
Lyons and Sally Houser added
ten points each.
Seniors Julie Ludrof , Ann
D'lqnazio and Mary Balaban
played their last game before a
home crowd on Monday night.

AND SUSAN HENNINGER
Despite the fact tha t they
were lacking a number of
players BSC's hockey club
came off the™ ice Saturday
morning, with their best game,
so far in the season, beating
Juniata 8-2. Starting on offense
was Halberstadt , Avil and
Barker with Dave White and
Hyatt on defense and Curcio in
goal. It was an exciting and fast
paced first period as BSC gave
it all they had and beat
Juniata 's goalie three times
while successfully keeping
Juniata 's offense away from
their goal. Scoring . for
Bloomsburg was Black ,
unassisted. Mammele, assisted
by Hyatt, and Hyatt, assisted by
v -'
Black.
Still going strong in the
second period BSC kept their
scoring power and scored three
more times, but this time letting
Juniata get by them twice
making the score 6-2. The
scoring this time was done by
Barker assisted by Halberstadt
and Avil , Rich White,
unassisted and Barker again
assisted by Halberstadt and
Avil.

Because of the fewer than
usual" number of players
present the players who were
there had to skate more often
and for a longer period of time
than they are used to. It was
obviously beginning to show on
them as they began to slow
down toward the end of the
second period, but rested and

fired up by their four points
lead. BSC came back into the
third period looking sharp and
scoring two more times. They,
also managed to hold Juniata
down to their previous two
goals, ending the game 8-2 in
favor of BSC. Mammele scored
first in the third period followed
by Avil assisted by Halberstadt
and Barker. Juniata had six
minutes in penalties and
Bloomsburg had. seventeen
minutes plus a game misconduct given to Dave White,7With
one minute left in the game.
It was definitely a good game,
in spite of a few abusive Juniata
fans, so if you like hockey, be
sure to make it to a game soon.
It will certainly be worth the
drive to Sunbury .

The candidate for President
also felt that CGA representatives should be more active
especially in the dorms, by
going door to door and asking
those who voted for them what
their opinions -on a topic might
be. "This wiir increase the
student input into the works of
the college; I think that this
should also be done for the
Bloomsburg Student Concert
Committee. The students need
to be informed on who is
available at a certain time and
for what prices, then they can
assist in helping to show the
committee what they will pay
for."
As a fina l comment on the
problems and everyday happenings that go on at BSC,
LaRuffa felt that "I know that
everything can 't happen
overnight, but I think that T can
try to 'get : somethings sooner
than what some other people
feel will take 'too long.'
