CAS fights for existence

"Do students want an effective lobby?" questioned Jeff
Hunsicker of the Commonwealth Association of
Students.
The current financial crisis
has "CAS fighting for its mere
existence, " announced Hunsicker, Statewide Board of
Coordinators Chairperson.

The student lobby is currently
6,000 dollars short of meeting
the 1978 operating costs with no
apparent means of making up
the deficit.
Continuous efforts on the part
of the local chapters to raise
funds through membership
drives have not been adequate,
Hunsicker explained.

submitted by
NORML COMMITTEE
NORML warns all smokers
that the Mexican grass on sale
in the U.S. is being sprayed with
highly poisonous chemicals
such as paraquat. If you
unknowingly smoke contaminated marijuana, there's a
chance of developing permanent lung damage called
fibrosis, 20 percent of the
confiscated samples coming
across the border have been

found to be sprayed with the
harmful defoliants. The U.S.
Government is supporting these
spraying programs and in effect
is creating a health hazard to its
15 million citizens who smoke.
In the NORML NEWS bulletin
of March 13, Keith Stroup,
director of NORML stated, "A
number of recent federal
government reports and
scientific
studies
have
acknowledged that marijuana
is a relatively harmless plant,
and now with the use of her(continued on page five )

Danger in smoking

For this reason CAS is
planning a referendum to bring
to the students to see if students
are willing to pay a mandatory
fee of one dollar a semester.
This referendum will be carried
out by all the state colleges and
university.
Financial problems have
been plaguing CAS for the past
two years, to the point where
Hunsicker feels that, "It is
strangling the ability of CAS to
peform its most important
functions."
Don Eisenbaumer, BSC
chapter President stated that,
"we are spending most of our
time raising funds instead of
lobbying for , . and informing
students on tuition and other
issues of concern.
Elyn Rysz , BSC chapter
Coordinator, brought out the
fact that student monies are
actually subsidizing the faculty
and president's organizations
through tuition , and , that
students are in no way asked if

"History and the Popular Arts" is the theme of the Eleventh
Annual History Conference to be held on April 20-21 in the Kehr
Union Building. Back by request is Donald Bogle, well-known
author and lecturer, who will begin the conference on Thursday at
9:30 a.m.
In. his discussion, Bogle, a former Ebony staff writer and story
writer for Otto Preminger, will talk aboutthe stereotypes which
black actors and actresses have portrayed through the years.
Bogle cites these performances as personal statements by the
individual artist.
Bogle has agreed to meet with any interested students in the
Listening Room following his presentation. Willard Bradley,
President of the Third World Cultural Society, urges students to
attend this informal reception for Bogle.
Other guest speakers attending the two-day conference include:
Barbara Monaco of WDAU TV and Walter Mohr of WVIA TV . who
will discuss television's role in contemporary America.
Chairman of the conference is Ted Shanoskl, associate histpry
professor and Director of Cultural Affairs at BSC. The conference
is held in cooperation with the Human Relations Planning Commission and the Professional Development Fund. The conference is
being presented by the Department of History.

Mandatory Fee —
not f o r us!!
A mandatory fee for all state college and state related
universities is the goal of the Commonwealth Association
ofStudents. (CAS) CAS is a student lobbying organization
which represents students in Harrisburg, Washington . D.C.,
etc. on issues such as lowering tuition, abortion etc.
Presently joining CAS is a voluntary decision and students
have a choice whether or not to pay $1 per semester to join;
however, for the future CAS statewide is working on a referendum which will require mandatory fees from all students. This fee will be voted on at ail the state colleges and
universities and H it passes we will be forced to pay and
join CAS. Also, if BSC votes down the fee and it passes statewide we will still be required to pay.
The problem isn't a $2 fee nor is it that CAS isn't worth
the money but the true problem is that they're trying to
force students to join the organization. Some of CAS's own
members are against the fee. Where is the freedom of choice
for students? Forcing students to join an organization will
not make them participate nor will it be a true representation of students on issues. If you don't agree with an issue
CAS is backing you will still be represented in favor of it. By
the same token if you are in favor of something and they are
not, you are foiled again.
To date CAS has an extreme focus on moral issues such
as abortion, reform of marijuana laws and lowering the
drinking age. These issues are personal individual issues
and require that an individual be able to decide on their
own feeling.
Right now CAS has stated that they will probably drop
the ' mora! issue , but where is the guarantee? Even with
moral issues dropped wh y in the world should students be
forced to join an organization if they don't want to belong?
CAS's main function is to lobby in Harrisburg and represent the colleges to legislatures , how effective will
they be if the students behind them are fo rced members
and not members who are concerned and chose to join.
Certainly the mandatory fee would make for a very large
number of students to be members but it would' not be a
fair representation and would not allow for any dissenters
from a cause. Lumping students all together end claiming
an opinion is not fair. We feel it is more effective and
influential to have a lesser number of voluntary members
that are truly concerned and want to belong then to have
75,000 students who joined CAS as part of their tuition
bill.
CAS representatives claim that the organization will
die without this fee. Is that truly a valid argument? We
feel that if CAS cannot exist and reach students to get
them involved without a mandatory fee, then perhaps
they need to seriously consider their approaches and
discover why they are not reaching students. If CAS cannot stay alive with voluntary support then consider what's
wrong, don't look to a mandatory fee as an answer.
Our problem is not with CAS as an organization, but
rather with their mandatory fee. How can a group of student lobbyists be in favor of taking away the rights and
freedoms of individual students? If those heading up
CAS were not already active members would they want
to be forced to join? There is no reason or excuse to force
students to pay to keep an organization alive if it cannot
function on its own with voluntary participation.
Think about your individual rights and freedoms when
the time conies to vote for this mandatory fee l 11

"Oh wise and semi-wonderful
Gizzard, please don't lead us
astray. We love the way you're
working now, but please don't
MAKE everyone pay!" said the
little weevil.
"It's better for us, excuse me,
I mean, you; it'll keep us alive.
Besides, if we're not here, how
will you survive?" countered
the Gizzard.
The boll weevil sat on his
haunches and thought, "I know
this
is not
right, it
shouldn't ought."
The
Gizzards
have
proclaimed very out loud, that
their jocks are falling and need
more of a crowd. "All little
weevils will cough up one
smacker, to keep us going.
You'll be our backers."
The little weevil stood, high
up on his stool, "You can't do
that. It ain't kosher, it's dirty
pool. "Why should I cough up a
smacker, and back up
something when I don't want to
be a backer?"

Wait one cottonmckin minute
by Ed Hmick

The Gizzard could not find
anything else to say, except,
"We need the smackers, damn
it, now pay !"
"The weevils don't ALL want
to belong, don't' FORCE it,
Gizzards, you know it's wrong,"
whimpered the weevil.
The Gizzard, feeling rather
mighty this day, said, "Okay all
you weevils, get the smackers
ready. IT'S THE ONLY WAY."

The Gizzard, lost for words
and conniving quick , his eyes lit
up as he grabbed a stick. "Face
it Httle weevil, we're doing this
for you, and everything we say
has got to be true."
The weevil knew the Gizzards
had good intentions, but
MANDATORY smackers seem
like a bad invention. "Suppose I
think that the Gizzards are okay
and hand over a smacker; but
another who doesn't care for
you much; HE has to be a
backer?"
Said the mighty Gizzard, "It's
all for the interest of the Httle
weevils."
Replied the little thing,
"You're full of cotton, I don'tbelieve you'lls."
"We must carry on to benefit
youse, and we need more
smackers, to lower the booze."
"It' s not right to make
someone do something against
his will. I'm gonna vote NO on
this particular bill," said the
weevil.

The little weevil stood in a
cloud of dust, thinking of
something to do or say; a must,
a must.
"Gather*round fellow weevils
and heed what I talk. The
Gizzards are full of cotton. We
should stand here and > balk.
Don't let them'snow your, you're
a fool if you pay. You'd be
supporting something you don't

Late Bloomers
by Mary Wells

Maximizing the good years*
"That man, I think, has had a
liberal education who has been
so trained in youth that his body
is the ready servant of his will,
and does with ease and pleasure
all the work that, as a
mechanism, it is capable of;..."
Thomas Henry Huxley
At first glance, it might seem
that older students would not be
physical
in
interested
education, having left all that
behind them in their earlier
years. Current interests of
"returnees'' tend to center
around academic courses.
Yet, more and more we are
coming to realize that physical
fitness is not something that
happens only in gym class
between the ages of 18 and 22.
Medical examinations of ser:
vicemen reveal tha t an

astounding porportion of young
men are found in physical
conditions somewhat less than
"fit" . As a nation, we tend to be
overfed arid under-exercised .
Since there appears to be a
close correlation between
physical fitness and mental
alertness, more and more attention is now being paid to
keeping bodies in optimum
condition throughout life.
William J. Sproule of the
physical education department
is aware of this and interested
in doing something about it. He
would like to see a program
developed , he says, that would
enable students to keep
physically fit at any age. He
sees this not as happening in the
traditional gym classes,
realizing that these might be

difficult to attend on a regular
basis. Instead, he visualizes a
series of training sessions to
develop routines. These could
then be carried out at home or
any other convenient place;
Sproule feels that if such a
program fits in practically with
older student life styles, it has a
better chance of succeeding.
There is also some feeling that
if this is optional, it will enhance
student participation.
The thrust here is directed
toward older students because
at present little provision for
them is made in the area of
physical education. However,
the benefits are by no means
limited to "Late Bloomers". If
habits for keeping physically fit
are learned in the early school

years, they are infinitely easier
to maintain later on. Meanwhile, good health is enjoyed ,
and life holds more sparkle.
To feel well is to feel good
about one's self. It helps to
maintain a positive self-image.
A healthy body is the foundation
for a general sense of wellbeing.
If we have a healthy respect
for the body, we are less likely
to jeopardize its condition by
eating, drinking and smoking to
excess. An alert mind in a sound
body generally has less need to
escape or black out or seek
thrills in artificial ways.
While it is easy to take the
body for granted, one quickly

realizes when physical setbacks
occur, how basic a healthy body
is to almost anything we attempt to do. Since there are no
trade-in possibilities , and
replacement parts are still not
readily available to everyone
who needs them, it behooves all
of us to take the very best
possible care of the body we are
endowed with , to see us through
a comfortable and productive
lifetime.
Not only will keeping
physically fit throughout one's
lifetime keep the mind mentally
alert, there is a beginning
awareness that it may even be
possible, in so doing, to slow
down the aging process and thus
maximize the good years.

Dr. Richard Wolfe, Deari of
Extended Programs at BSC,
emphasized tha t his department "tries to honor student
requests" in their selection of
courses ' for the summer
sessions. An outreach progra m
consisting of nine resident
advisors has been organized to
act as a hason group between
the students and the department.
Dean Wolfe, stated that the
summer sessions schedule for
undergraduate, graduate, and
continuing education students
includes three six-week sessions
and four three-week sessions.
Selection of courses are based
on the past history of
enrollment , on past prescheduling data, and rests with
each specific school of study.
Wolfe cited that few institutions
have the number of course
offerings that BSC offers.
Wolfe cited that specific
sunimer courses may be cancelled if the class is not filled.
Last year, approximately 10
percent of courses were cancelled, but this percentage hurt
relatively few students. If a
cancellation causes specific
problems, you should contact
Wolfe to discuss this hardship.
If a course is cancelled ,
students enrolled in the class
will be contacted personally.
Wolfe stated that students can
bring in their course schedules
now and find out in approximately two days if their
courses are finaL Students can
make schedule changes as part
of the registration process
which occurs in Kehr Union .

by TOBY LOYD
First of all, to put things
immediately into perspective,
Lou Reed is a real spaceman; a
very strange cookie. You can
discover this for yourself in any
number of ways; you may look
at his lyrics, you may look at his
history and lifestyle, or you
may just look at him. Any
method will yield the same
conclusion - this guy is
definitely, uh ... unique. That's
probably why I like him so
much.
For years bands have tried to
copy Lou Reed and his band the
legendary
Velvet
now
Underground. None have ever
come close to capturing the
feeling of the New York "underground" scene — with its
junkies, prostitutes and drag
queens — with the vividness and
emotionality that Lou Reeds
work possesses. The reason for
this is simple. Where the others
are copies , Lou Reed is
authentic. He has lived
everything he sings about, and
he is able to touch me deeply
because of this, no matter how
far out or bizarre his subject
matter may be to me. Listening
to Lou Reed is like having a
good friend in another part of
the country that is able to
communicate what life feels
like there, and what its like to
see things through his eyes —
that's how personal Lou Reed's
songs can get.
"Street Hassle", his latest
solo effort, may well be his best.
The unpolished emotion that
has become his trademark is at
its highest artistic peak, and his
songwriting is for the most part
brilliant. The way Reed
manipulates the structure of his
songs is ingenious, and the end
result is an album of awesome
power and intensity. By far the
best is the title track, an eleven
minute journey through the
night city low life. Poeticly, in a

relative sense, this song is as
brilliant as Dylan's "Desolation
Row", or Springsteens 's
"Jungleland" . Springsteen
himself even makes a surprise
vocal performance, reciting ,a
short segment of the song.
In order to give you a sense of
what this album feels like I've
decided to present you with a
section of the song "Street
Hazzle", so that you can experience the intense poetry first
hand. These lyrics are naked
and raw, but if taken the right
way they should offend no one.
Instead of making you angry,
they should make you cry :
"Hey that Explitive Deleted not
breathin ', I think she's had too
much of somethin' or other, hey
man, you know what I mean? I
don't mean to scare you but
you're the one who came hereand you're the one that's gotta
take her when you leave ... I'm
not bein' smart, and I', not
tryin' to be cool to my part and
I'm not gonna wear my heart
out on my sleeve, but people get
emotional , ' you know that
sometimes they don 't act
rational and they think they're
just on T.V., sha la la man, why
don't you slip her away, I'm
really glad we met man, it was
sure nice talkin', and I really
wish there was more time to
speak, but you know it could be
a hassle tryin' to explain to the
police officer about how it was
your old lady got herself stiffed,
and its not like we could help
her, there was nothing no one
could do and if there was you
know I woulda been the firs"£
but when someone turns that
blue its a universal truth ".. I
know this is no way to treat a
guest but why don't you just
grab your lady by the feet "and
lay her out in the darkened
street and by morning she'll bf
just another hit and run..."
Obviously, this kind of art
isn 't for everyone. But don't
dismiss it without taking a ,good
listen — you may see more of
yourself in it than you'd care to
admit. At least you'll be introduced to a new world, no
matter how ugly, and there's
something to be learned from
everyone.

CAS fipi^

(continued from page one)
they want their money to go to
these organizations. "If a
student feels that faculty
salaries should not be raised,
then they should in all reality
Hot have to let a portion of their
tuition money, which the faculty
uses to pay APSCUF, go
towards procuring that raise. "
The
mandatory
fee
referendum measure was
brought out for discussion and
approved by CAS officers and
student government presidents
at a state - wide conference held
recently at Millersville State
College.
The Board of State College
and University Directors, of
which state college and
university presidents are
members, have also approved
the idea of the referendum and
would act as collecting agent for
CAS.
Before the policy can take
effect, a majority of students on
every campus of the state
system must favor it.
If students vote in favor the
referendum by a margin of at
least 51 per cent, the measure
must then be approved by the
college presidents;
All of the presidents are in
favor of the plan according to
Hunsicker, and plan to enact it
if the students show majority
support. Some presidents were
willing to enact it without the
referendum, but CAS feels that
it should be left to their constituents, the students.
Other than fighting higher
tuition, CAS actively supports
several social issues that
students have asked their help
in which has also served to
bolster membership. These
i s s u e s
in c l u d e
decriminalization of marijuana ,
19 - year - old drinking, and
womens' and minority rights.
Many people in CAS feel that
CAS would have to drop their
work in social or moral issues
and confine themselves exclusively to education. "We
can't make students who are
against marijuana pay for work
in decriminalization. It would
be unethical. And a major
concern of CAS is the area of
ethics, especially in the
academia," stated Rysz.
It is feared that if the plan is
defeated , it will severely
damage CAS as an effective
lobby. Hunsicker stated , "If it is
voted down, we may be forced
to close. We need total support. "
Eisenbaumer' noted that , "If
we can get this approved by the
students, it would increase the
scope of CAS operations immensely."
If approved, CAS statewide
would have a working budget of
approximately $120 thousand
dollars a year.
Hunsicker related that these
additional funds will allow CAS
to lobby for students more often
without constantly being
hampered by a lack of funds. It
would also allow for a full time
internship for a student on
every state owned campus.
"This would facilita te greatly
the needs of local chapters ," he
said.
The additional funds would
end the sporadic cash flow,
which is one of the main reasons
why voluntary membership has
not been working.
It will enable CAS to keen

students better informed on the
current issues, claims the state
- wide leadership, such as
reactivating the presently
defunct CAS newspaper, the
Activist.
If the referendum is successful with this endeavor, it

will take effect during the fall
semester of 1978. Hunsicker in
closing reiterated, "It is time to
find out if the students really
care about the financial
situation of the state college
system. If not, why should we
work for a mass of students who
'
don't give a damn?"

What do you think.of the possible mandatory

Hiking by bike
( continued from page one)
you'll be doing just that. The
hike, on Saturday, April 15,
begins at 10:00 a.m. at
Bloomsburg High School and
will follow a path to and from
Berwick totaling twenty miles
of riding.
This year's Bike - Hike in
Columbia County is sponsored
by the BSC chapter of the
Pennsylvania Association for
Retarded Citizens (P.A.R.C.),
and the money raised willbe put
to use by that organ ization to
aid retarded citizens across the
state.
Director of the event in
Columbia County , Tom Kelsh,
encourages campus - wide
participation in' this event :
"There is a great potential often
unrealized here at BSC. If each
college student here would
support this year's Bike - Hike ,
if only in a small way, then
undoubtedly it would be the
most successful fundraiser ever

attempted."
You can help in this worthy
effort by donating a few hours of
a Saturday afternoon. All you
need is a bike, a registration
form , a few sponsors and some
energy. If you don't have a bike
of your own, Kelsh urges you to
be resourcefu l by asking
friends , profs and townspeople
for the use of their bikes.

Sponsors can be anyone willing
to contribute and those of you
who decide not to ride in the
hike yourself, can still play a
part by sponsoring someone
else. As for the energy, no one
can provide that but you. So put
your energy to use to aid the
Mentally Retarded in this
year's Bike-Hike and1 enjoy
springtime in the process.

MICHAEL

Sophomore — They don't know
how to use the money anyway;
so it doesn't make much difference. It's just another case of
the CAS attempting to drum up
support from an apathetic
student body.

an option to pay $2 rather than
making the payment mandatory.

their rights. Oser, who is the founder of the Short People of Am

Although she understands that the Ran dy Newman .song "Short

N Josa describes Cameroon

by LAURA POLLOCK
"Where we are and what we
do," 'presented ' by Simon
N'Josa, First Secretary of the
Ambassador of the Republic of
Cameroon, was the first event
of VBSC's Foreign Language
Week." Dr. Ariane Foureman,
of the Foreign Language
Department , explained that
N'Josa 's job is with public
relations for his country in
Washington D.C.
N'Josa said, "you always
hear of places by the noise they
make and that is why you may
not know where Cameroon is
located." He explained, "We
are a small country and go
about our business in a quiet
way. " Cameroon is located in
Central Africa , with a
population of approximately 7.5
million and composed of 7
provinces.
Cameroon was described as a
"Land of Many Languages"; it
was discovered by Portu ga l and
later colonized by Germany,
Britian , and France. After
WWI , Cameroon was divided by
the League of Nations into two
countries and occupied by
Britian and France. In the
1960's, the country was unified
into one country and retained
three Parliaments as govern-

ment. In 1972, these three
parliaments were dissolved and
one government set up.
N'Josa said the educational
system is composed of primary
and secondary schools as well as
four colleges which provide
education
in languages ,
business administration and
technology. He described his
country as "Not as advanced as
the U.S., Britian , or France. "
According to N'Josa, the one
problem Cameroon has is to
decentralize the population
from cities to the rural areas.
He said that approximately 30
percent of the population lives
in the cities.
Tn 1960. Cameroon suffered

from a shortage of hospitals and
all their doctors were
foreigners. Since then, there are
approximately 400 doctors in
Cameroon and approximately
150 of these are foreigners.
There is one doctor for every
22,000 people. N'Josa said that
life expectancy is 45-50 years.
N'Josa stressed that .the U.S.
was one of the first nationsl to
extend diplomatic relations to
Cameroon after its intermed
dependence.
He
Cameroon's relations to the
U.S. as "excellent."
Mayor of Bloomsburg, Allen
Remley, presented N'Josa with
a key to the town of Bloomsburg.

Tales of Aklean Mvthos

The Torch Bearers - Fart Two

by DUANE LONG
High in orbit around Akleas
on the Space Ministry Research
Station, Aelim Tholongais met
with Ministry officials and
members of the Planetary
Council.
"Zero hour can easily be
moved ahead fifteen pericycles,
can't it Professor?" asked
Zeladai Hakaan, the council
chair. ^
''Certainly. Give me a
moment to find the whereabouts
of my wife and son."
"Of course."
Aelim went to a com panel,
requested the shuttle scarab's
location, and-gave instructions
to have Kalia and Bizah
escorted to the operations room.
"If you gentlemen will follow
me," he entreated.
They were led to a chamber

Aelim eyed his ihterrupier.
Ezra Somune had offered a
proposal of his own to the
Maerklaat, but he'd been turned
down in favor of Tholongais.
Jealousy burned hot in his tone.
"The cure is quite simple,
Ezru. You may recall that when
we were working on the
prospect of escaping our peril
through flight into alternate
dimensions, a number of
mishaps befell some of pur
space probes."
"Yes. Those sent to dimensions above the peron scale
were never recovered. We
assumed this to be the result of
the engines not being able to
operate in those regions, due to
a disparity in the laws of
physics."
"Yes, I know. I read your
report and I'm afraid I have to

with a huge instrument console
and a viewing screen that
covered an entire wall. To his
relief Aelim's family were
brought in before everyone had
gotten settled in their seats.. He
smiled at Bizah's shy behavior;
his son's face was buried in his
wife's shoulder. The smile soon
melted. It was time to begin.
"As you know, our sun no
longer produces sufficient
energy because of solar cancer.
And you're aware that this is
caused by the dark abyss — the
densest known matter — which
has been sucking - in UrizerVs
star material and as a result,
has seriously depleted the fuel
needed for the fusion reaction."
"We're all informed on that
score, Thologais. What about
this fantastic cure you claim
you've invented?"

Are You Aware?

BY NANCY ROWLANDS
What must the monetary
value of a stolen item be before
it is considered a theft? The
fact is, monetary value is not
significant in deciding what is
considered
theft.
This
statement should be kept in
mind when reading of the retail
thefts as well as the other
criminal acts which are
reported.
The following are the
criminal acts which occurred
between March 6 and 17.
CRIMINAL MISCHIEF ~
Two tires were punctured on a
car owned by a janitor who was
on duty in Ben Franklin. The
incident occurred on March 6 at
approximately 11:30 P.M.
Damage was estimated at $55.
THEFT - On March 7, between 4:00 and 4:30 P.M., and
electric fan valued at $25 was
taken from a room in Elwell
Hall.
THEFT Custodial supplies
were taken from Ben Franklin
on March 8 at approximately
9:30 P.M. The items reported
missing were one case of toilet
paper and two cases of paper
towels valued at a total of $41.

Howell projector valued at $488
was reported missing from
Navy Hall on March 9.

disagree with your findings. "
"You have a»theory?" "No, Ezru. I have prbff. The
exact nature of my cure ^was
kept quiet for a reason. You
carry a great deal of weight
with the Ministry and I knew if
you ever found out that my
source of power made a
mockery of your dimensional
ark concept the project worM
have never gone through. NL
it is safe to tell. Those dimensions beyond the peron scale are
composed entirely of antimatter.''
"Preposterous!"
"Young man, do you mean to
say that the support we've given
you has gone to pursue a
myth!" Hakaan roared,
"I assure you it's no myth.
Look at the data on the
dimension we're locked into and
are ready to tap. Go ahead,
Ezru, read the figures on the
contraction coefficient."
"Neagative ten megones !
That's impossible, there's- no
such thing .as an expanding
universe. Our science simply
will not hear of it!"
"Then our science is wrong.
Anyway we'll soon see. The
network will activate within the
next pericycle; it's on a five
dekon count down. That will
give me just enough time to
explain the system to you — if
you're still interested, that is."

"Well, Somune, what about
it?" asked Zeladai Hakaan.
"The data supports his claim
and failure can be determined
quickly enough, Let him
proceed."
"Good. As I've said, our
system is locked into an antimatter universe. In order ' to
rejuvenate Urizen all we do is
condense some energy in our
pyramids on the surface, and
then beam the energy up to our
satellite network and on into the
heart of the black tumor inside
the sun, where it annihilates the
cancer and frees the solar
furnace to produce light and
warmth."

Tern crystal cones pulsed
with life and hurled their power
skyward. In the next instant the
metal moons had taken the
torch, passing it on to the sun.
There was a terribly long pause.

After a very successful
southern tour in Florida^ the
Husky baseball team came
home to a rough start, losing
three of their first four games.
Saturday afternoon at Kutztown saw BSC extend then*
winning streak to five games as
they dowi.ed the Bears 6-1,
behind the one-hit pitching of

Rick Budweg . John Graham
was the hitting star for the
Huskies', as he * drove in twc
runs.
The second game saw KSC
grab four runs in their half of
the second inning, and hold on
for a 4-2 triumph. BSC hurler
Bob "Hoot" Gibson was the
loser, although giving up five
hits. KSC second baseman
Bruce Hill had the big blow of

In the last decade, drag
racing has made phenomenal
strides in technical innovation,
development of effective safety
procedures and elimination of
the stepchild image fostered
over the years by an uninformed media.
But nowhere has the sport's
"big time" status been more
obvious than in economics —
the cold, hard cash earned and
expended in the day-to-day
operation of a quarter mile race
car.
It's difficult to imagine that at
the outset, the sport's top stars
were racing for whatever
merchandise awards could be
secured from sympathetic
manufacturers and sponsors.
Today, the prize money runs
into the millions of dollars and
the day of the homebuilt
dragster is a ghostly memory
with individual race car investments as high as $50,000.
Obviously , the sport has come
a long way from airport runways, spray can paint jobs and
backyard engineering.
The most modern drag strips,
built from scratch utilizing
established guidelines ,

represent sizeable investments,
the chassis for a Top Fuel
dragster, Funny Car or Pro
Stocker runs to several
thousand dollars; a race car
paint job alone can cost more
than $1,000.
Construction of a competitive
pro car, built from the ground
up, is. conservatively figured at
$30,000. that doesn't include a
tow truck ($7,000) Chaparrel
gooseneck trailer ($9,000) and
various assorted spare parts
(as much as $35,000. additional).
The price of virtually every
item has skyrocketed in the last
decade, but the biggest single
expense — particularly in Top
Fuel and Funny Car racing — is
the engine. Whereas the power
for the sport's top-of-the-line
machinery once came from
modified , supercharged ,
Detroit-built engines, it is now
provided by built-fo r-drag
racing, all aluminum plants
tagged at $12,000. apiece. One
such primary engine and one
spare represent a larger investment than there was in an
entire Top Eliminator field at
some races in the 1950s and '60s.

the game, a bases-loaded
double.
The Huskies traveled to Fenn
State the next day, and the
results were twice as bad.
Heavy ** hitting by Dave
Simononis powered the Nittany
Lions to a 10-1, 9-4 sweep. In the
first game, Simononis tagged
Husky pitching for a home run
and a single, knocking in four
runs. Bloomsburg managed
only three singles off winning
pitcher Mike Guman. Frank
Coll, who pitched only twothirds inning, was charged for
the loss.
The second game was just as
bad for the Huskies and just as
good for the Lions and
Simononis. The PSU centerfielder was 3-for-4 with a
double, home run, and two more
RBIs. The Huskies hung to a 2-1
lead before lengthening it to 4-1
after the top of the fourth. Bob
Young sparked the Huskies
surge with a 3-for-3 day including'a home run, and four
RBIs. The Lions broke the game
open with five runs in the fourth
and three in the fi fth. Eddie
Hess pitched four innings in the
losing cause.
T o m o r r o w a ft e r n o o n
(hopefully) the Huskies will be
home against Millersville. The
first game will be at 1:00 p.m.
