Elivett 's change:
majoroperation

by DEBBIE TOMCAVAGE
Elwell Hall, built in 1968, is
the largest residence ori
campus. Since its opening it has
housed only males. Now, after
10 years, it has been converted
to a women's dormitory
Changing Elwell was a major^
operation.
According to Jennie Carpenter, Dean of Students at
Elwell, "It is structurally a

Stat© creates budget crisis
by BARBHAGAN BSC for the first time in
recent years has a budget
created by the state, according
to Special Assistant for College
Relations Kenneth C. Hoffman.
Budget crisis has once again
hit" BSC as more than half
million dollars was cut last
month from the original state
funding leaving the college with
less than its fair share of state
money. \
For nearly one month during
the summer college officials
thought that college funding
inequities of previous years
were being reduced. A reallocation of appropriations
took $526,000 away from BSC's
budget because at least two
state colleges ran over their
alloted budgets for last year:
This reduced the allocation
figure for BSC from $13,069,155
to $12,542,864.

In addition to reducing state
funding, the Pennsylvania
Department of Education
(PDE) instructed the college to
pay $380,000 in salary increases
which had hot been included in
the original budget. College
officials were unable to submit
a revised budget including the
cut and to date have not.

PDE has directed the college
to operate during the fiscal year
on a budget which includes the
following: $17,524,545 for personnel, $4,373,705 for operating
expenses, and $100,000 for fixed
assets. The money allocation
for operating expenses is approximately $140,000 less than
was spent in this area last year.
The difficulty of staying^ within
this budget, as appropriated is
that many of the 36 line items in
operting expenses category are
fixed- expenses over which the

CAS increases
staff, new offices

by JULIE STAMETS
With an increased staff of six
persons, the Commonwealth
Association of Students (CAS)
has resumed full opera tion
while occupying new offices in
Harrisburg. Plans for the increased staff and new offices
were aided by the passage of an
automatic - refundable membership fee last spring. Of the 14
state colleges, 13 had approved
the fee with Clarion State
College being the sole opposition. . '
The mandatory fee was approved last May by a 2-1 voting
referendum, although at the
statewide convention held at
Lock Haven this past July, the
CAS: legislative body voted in
favor of making the fee
refundable. This action was
taken in order to provide a fair
option for any students who are
opposed to the activities of CAS.
The establishment of the
mandatory fee made CAS the
wealthiest student lobby in the
country with a projected income of $130,000.00.
According to ' Kathleen
Downey, CAS Executive
Director, tho fee was first
proposed because CAS was in
danger of folding due to

financial trouble. • , ~~
. Downey felt that it was difficult to predict a working
budget
because
the
organization never knew how
many students would take the
option of paying dues. Now that
the fee has been made' refundable, Downey feels that
it is only fair to return the
money to any student who is
opposed to CAS.
"The mandatory refundable
fee is more philosophically in
tune with the beliefs of CAS."
Downey said. "If someone is
opposed to CAS views, the
organization feels it is only fair
to give a student a chance for a
return."
Still, for CAS, financial aid in
the form of mandatory fees is
coming in; from only nine
campuses. Problems have
developed in the fee collections
at Indiana, Kutztown, East
Stroudsburg, and here at BSC,
The trouble exists because of
questions that have been raised
by college administrators

college has no control. Under
the fixed assets portion of the
budget the $100,000 providedis
approximately $412,000 less
than was spent last year.
Bloomsburg has not received
appropriations comparative
with the enrollmentincrease. At
the beginningof the 70's BSC
was ninth in enrollment and the
college's share of the state
appropriation was in line with
its position in the state college
system. Today Bloomsburg is
thirdin enrollment but eighth in
its share of the appropriation.
Of the $181.3 million to be
distributed among» the stateowned colleges and Indiana
University, BSC received only
6.92 percent of the total appropriation but has 8.24 percent
of the students in the system;
According to Hoffman, "For
five years Bloomsburg has been
under funded because of a
distribution formula that failed
to provide any adjustment for
the enrollment changes of the
1970's. The inequity is obvious."
In further comment Hoffman
noted, "The original allocation
made in July did not overcome
this inequity entirely. Bloom-

sburg would have been seventh
in its share of the appropriation
with 7.21 per cent of the total
and the appropriation per FTE
student would have been $293
below the median for the
system. In spite of this we Were
pleased and encouraged
because it appeared to be a
positive step toward giving
Bloomsburg the kind of funding
it really deserves. August's reallocation was a step backwards."
The FTE student is a term
used to provide a uniform basis
of measuring productivity in
terms of the number of credit
hours taught. The total credit
hours during the fiscal year are
divided by 30 for undergraduate students and 24 for
graduate students.
President of BSC, Dr. James
McCormick has appealed the
re-allocation decision and met
in Harrisburg with the
Governor, Milton Shapp ;
Secretary of the Budget,
Charles Mcintosh; _. and
Secretary of Education, Caryl
Kline to discuss the problem of
inequity in the distribution of
state appropriations .

^ood building but lacks the
coziness that other Somen's
dorms have. We refer to itlas
the "pits with potential," /in
other words, it will take awhile
before Elwell means home."
Oyer $67,000 has been spent so
far ,, in the renovation and
conversion of ^lwellIHall from
a male to ^^nT^^isdormitory.
The figure o%|||^|i|o a general
one. The' br»p|own of this
figure is as foilciws: general

- $19,009; electrical - $2,630; and
painting (outside bid)" - $22,940.
Frank Davis, assistant vice
president for Administration,
specified that this money did
not come outisof the general
budget, w^ich suffering under
severe " cut-backs. Rather, he
explained, the money comes
from a special fund consisting
of a portion of each students'
housing fee which is set aside in
Harrisburg for the preservation
of dorm buildings.
Some changes have been
made to inake Elwell somev/hat
more "cozy.*'. Among these are:
freshly painted halls, TV
lounges, and study lounges,
women's bathroom facilities,
including deep hair sinks,
kitchen units, and more secure
exterior doors. Lighting for the
back portion of Elwell is now in
the planning.
None of the student rooms
have been painted, but ' Carpenterfeels that definitely some
of these rooms will have to be
done eventually.
In refurnishing, Elwell's
lobby has all new furniture and
approximately 250 mattresses
have been ordered for beds,.
Shower curtains , mirrors,
bulletin boards, and hall runners have been installed.

During the first week of classes we have been working
on this first issue of the Campus Voice. It is work; but ,it is
an extra curricular activity for us. We aren't professional
journalists , but we are working towards making the CV a
more professional ,paper.
The editors and reporters spend many hours in and out of
the office to bring you news of the BSC community.
We are planning on making a few changes in the CV.
However , changes take time. We want to use the best of
past years wi^thebest that we have to offer.
By instaU'rngia beat system, we will be able to cover the
campus ini ^rhofe complete way. We will begin a syndicated
cartoon - bring in a little of the rest of the world. Each editor
is working closely with the staff to improve the quality of
writing that appears here. Our photography department
has been reorganized, resulting in better quality prints.
These are just some of the things that have been changed
and will be changed. It will take time. The CV staff is a representative of this school , just like any sports team or
club. We are working for the entire student body.
If you don't see something you think you should see, give
us a calf. We want to continue growing in the tradition of
the Campus Voice - improving with each issue.
Enjoy the year,and good luck with your studies.

Forsyth seeks a
"better way"

by LENORE FIRSCHING
Dr. G. Alfred Forsyth, a
former professor of psychology,
has taken the position of Dean of
the School of Arts and Sciences.
Forsyth has set certain objectives for himself and for BSC
that he hopes and expects to
accomplish.
Forsyth's outlook is summed
up by a sign which he has hung
on his office wall: "There's
always a better way." He feels
that as dean, his role is to
facilitate the faculty's abilities
to carry out new. progra ms in
searching for -that "better
way. "
One goal Forsyth has set is to
examine a number of objectives
tha t he feels we should have for
all students; for example, a
student should know after four
years how to assess the validity
of ideas, to develop an appreciation for aesthetics, and to

accomplish many other goals.
Forsyth hopes to examine the
goals of faculty members and of
the institution to see "if we're
doing everything we ought to be
doing to insure quality
education." The things he would
like to insure for students include employability, skill
training and aesthetic appreciation in addition to
enabling them to communicate
effectively.
Forsyth hopes to encourage
faculty who like to be innovative
to develop interdisciplinary
programs to better meet those
objectives. By doing this he
hopes to give students experience
in
integrating
knowledge from different areas
to be put to use in solving
societal problems.

"But dammit," Ursula swore
as the "vator" opened on the
sixth floor, "that's why we need
your help. She can't go on with
her nose in a book for the rest of
her life. Sally and I've been her
roommates for three semesters,
now. For Christ's sake, she
hasn't had a date since we've
known her. Hell, I don't think
she's been out a night in her
life. "
"So you Want me to play John

disgustedly.
"That' s right. Here's a copy
of her schedule. I'm sure you'll

handsome, romantic type from

do it ourselves, but if she catches us we're sunk."

long, you 've only got , ten

"Hi , Sally, " Daryl said ,
sitting down on the single bed,
which he knew was Mary
Ellen's.

above the soft drone of her hair

"Well? Are you gonna help

"Oh , what the hell. But you

as Ursula hustled him out the
door.

her gaze as she saw a group of
young men look after her, undressing her, she knew, with
their wandering stare.

Music, the artistic and
diversified expression of harmonious tones, serves many
important functions in our lives.
Music today not only entertains
and relaxes, but also speaks to
people of various 'tongues ,

problems, truths and morals of
modern society' Music, in

essence, is the universal
language.
The Bloomsburg State
Concert Committee (BSCC)
realizes the importance of
music in our lives and hence is
striving to improve the quality
of music to be performed on
campus. The concert committee ( for 1978-79), a small but
effective group organized last

concerts for the near
future ; Southside Johnny
and the Asbury Jukes, and
Harry Chapin.
Southside Johnny and the
Asbury Jukes is a ten-man band,
whose name was derived from
the location of the club ( Stone
Pony) where they initially
performed, in Asbury Park,
New Jersey. The group's two
albums, "This Time It's for
Real" and "I Don't Want to Go
Home" project sounds and
lyrics similar to those of Bruce
Springsteen. This group will
perform in Haas Auditorium on
September 17 at 8 p.m.
Tickets for Southside Johnny
and the Asbury Jukes will be on
sale at the Information Desk
and are priced at $4.00 with I.D.
($4.50 without I.D.).
Harry Chapin, a lyricist guitarist, will perform the BSC
Homecoming concert on
October 18 in Haas Auditorium.
Ticket sales will be announced.
Future concerts will be
planned in accordance with

student body preference.
An open meeting concerning
future concerts will be held in
the coffeehouse on September 7
at 8 p.m. All students are invited to attend and voice their
opinions and ideas concerning
concerts. BSCC will explain.
why certain groups can ana
should be, scheduled, and the
good and bad points of location,
cost and sound. .Concluding the
discussion, the audience will be
asked to select a favoritegroup
from a list of potential performers.
If you would like to see one of
your favorite groups perform at
BSC, come to the meeting! If
you can't make the meeting and
would like to make suggestions,
contact one of the members of
the concert committee — Lance
McCarty , Ruth Rappaport,
Megen Williams, Jean Kraus,
Jeff Hunsinger, Toby Lloyd.
Don't miss your chance to tell
BSCC what you want to hear;
attend the open concert meeting
on September 7!"

A rally , m protest of the appearance of Anita Bryant at the
Bloomsburg Fair on Monday
September 25, will take place in
Bloomsburg on Sunday September 24 at 2 p.m. in the Town
Park. The rally sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Gay Support
Network and the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Coalition for

Human Rights is drawing Gay
Groups from as far away -as
Pittsburgh.
^
Several brief speeches and a
religious service will take place
followed by a peaceful walk
about 12 blocks to the FanGrounds.
The protestors hope to have
enough volunteers to maintain
an all day picket at the main
gate on Monday the day of
Bryant's performance. Pickets
will probably enter the grounds
and walk toward the Grandstand at the time of Bryant's
performance.

Summer R etrospective

by TOBY LQYD
" '' So here we are again at BSC,
back for another dip in the Pool
of Knowledge, hoping to cleanse
ourselves of the summer's
nonproductive sins and get
ourselves prepared to survive
anything that Lady Academia
can hurl at us, as she rears her
professional head, determined
to educate our young and
slightly fried brains.
Wouldn't it be much nicer to
somehow ease your way back
into the routine , instead of
making so abrupt a change? Of
course it would, and there's
nothing better than good music
to help you do it. That is why, at
this point, I would like to let you
know about some of the great
music that's been made since

we departed „ these semihallowed halls last May. I've
included what I feel to be the
best of the summer releases.
i. "But Seriously Folks" by
Joe Walsh — In his typically
nonchalant manner, -Eagle
guitarist Joe Walsh outdoes
himself again. His singing and
songwriting has never been
better, and his guitar work is
stunning throughout. Also,
there's some great work by
keyboard player, Jay Ferguson
and drummer, Joe Vitale. If
you've only heard "Life's Been
Good," you've got to hear the
rest.
2. "Some Girls" by The
Rolling Stones — Most everyone
is aware of this album, but if
you think the Stones have gone

disco because of "Miss Youp"
you 're
mistaken.
They
haven't rocked this hard since
"Exile
on
Main
St. "
"Imagination," "Some Girls,"
and "Beast of Burden" are
destined to become classics.
3. "Darkness on the Edge of
Town" by Bruce Springsteen —
I don't know about anyone else,
but I've never been more excited by an album of music
than I was and still am about
this one. It's the best record I've
heard since "Born to Run," and
it's better than that. A reviewer
from Rolling Stone summed up
the success of this album
perfectly; "Springsteen aims
for the moon and stars, and hits
•the moon and stars." Believe
me, in the world of rock and
roll, nobody does it better!
Good luck this year, and don't
forget to listen to the music. It
makes life a lot easier.

together and build a block of
courses that the student could
take, perhaps to fill general
education courses.
Forsyth would also like to
work for closer student - faculty
relations. He suggested the idea
of a freshman camp, to be held
several
before
* days
registration, where the students
could "rough it" and get to
know several upperclassmen
who would volunteer to go. This
would hopefully familiarize
freshmen with other students
and enable them to learn about
BSC from other students.
Faculty members would also
come to the camp, perhaps for a
day, and talk or play volleyball
with the students in addition to
answering questions about their
departments.
Forsyth feels that students
can have a much bigger role
than any dean in encouraging
the faculty to meet student
needs. Student feedback is
important.
Forsyth hopes that students
will have the attitude that 'I
have a rare opportunity to
become something because I
am at BSC,' and that they
should expect a lot from faculty
and administrators to whom
they are paying a large amount
of money.
After teaching psychology at
the University of New Hampshire for ten years, Forsyth
began looking for a position

where he would be able to make
an impact on the educational
institution from a perspective
other than that of faculty
member
or
department
chairperson. After deciding to
apply for either a deanship or a
position in a research foundation , Forsyth decided that the
deanship would best enable him
to have this impact.
When asked why he chose
BSC, Forsyth cited a number of
reasons.
"I believe BSC has a uniquely
bright future in the next ten
years, which are generally
going to be dismal in higher
education," he said, "I think
there are going to be real
chances to develop. "
Forsyth also stated that the
first obligation of many institutions is just to exist, which
has led to a decline in quality of
education in these institutions.
"I don't see that happening
here," he said.

- He pointed out that at .BSC,
the faculty is "wed-to quality
education," and that even in a
time of bad financial support
there is little internal strife;
there is coopera tion between
the students and faculty toward
a common goal.
"This is unique in a place that
is unionized," he stated.
Forsyth expects that the
inequity in support for - Pennsylvania's 14 state colleges and

Parking areas reassigned

by ANDREA HOHOLICK The new Motor Vehicle
Regulations f or Bloomsburg
State College became effective
as of August 28, 1978. Previous
rules concerning assigned
parking areas were revised in
efforts to accommodate more
people.
Commuters who reside more
than one mile from campus are
assigned a "C" decal, campus
parking, and those living within
one mile received an "H" decal,
hospital parking, regardless of
class standing.
Another change to note is that
all parking tickets not paid

within five school days after
notifica tion, will be forwarded
to the district magistrate for
settlement. Tickets will be
issued starting September 11 to
students, staff , and faculty for
parking without a decal or in the
wrong area.
Changes have also been made
concerning additional parking
areas such as the Tri-Level
Parking Garage. The parking in
this area is limited to student
decal "C" and faculty and staff
on a first come, first serve
basis.. The Tri-Level is not intended for overnight use, no

parking is permitted between
2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
Restric tions have been placed
on the overnight parking of cars
on campus. Students will only
be allowed to park overnight on
Friday and Saturday nights' in
the "C" area. Also, no parking
is allowed on Second Street
from Penn Street to the May
Building, at any time.
According to Director of
Safety and Security, Richard
Neuffer, the new rules and
regulations are proving to be
are aceffective, and
commodating more students.

R ules found unconstitutional
CREDITS SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR WAITING...Stu
dents waited in line to register ,drop/add, and to eat

Student lines long

Despite enormous late registration lines, 4885 undergraduate
degree students managed ¦to enroll at BSC for the 1978-79 fall
semester. - ' . . -¦
According to Tom L. Cooper, Dean of Admissions and Records,
of the 4510 full-time and the 375 part-time students, 2841 are women
and 2044 are men. That's a ratio of approximately 1.4 girls to each
guy. New freshmen numbered 1068; tran sfers, 177; and readmits,
25.
Over 400 graduate students registered by mail. Id the continuing,
education program, 525 people, including senior citizens, enrolled
for classes. However, all these figures will change due to late and
off-campus registration.
^> '-More.than .half therundergraduate students will be housed on
campus and eat in the Scranton Commons. About 1750 will be living
in the Bloomsburg area and almost 650 will be commuting.
Administration, faculty, and non-instructional personnel number
approximately 660.

The rules outlining membership requirements in the
Community
Government
Association (CGA ) Were found
to be both unauthorized and
unconstitutional according to a
CGA Elections Committee
spokesman.
The petitions that were made
available last week outlined two
new rules concerning eligibility.
First, CGA Representatives
could not be December
graduates or student teachers;
second, if you gain a seat on
CGA you automatically gain a
seat
on
Representative
Assembly.
According to Joe Surdoval ,
CGA President, these new rules
are for the good of the student
body . Surdoval explained that
these new rules guaranteed
representation of Representative Assembly. "If attendance
can be guaranteed, represen-

tation will also be guaranteed."
Attendance at Representative
Assembly has been a problem in
the past. However, at- a special
election committee meeting
concerning the rules, members
discovered that the portitions
were inadvertantly sent out
without , their consultation or
authorization.
After meeting with Surdoval,
the committee decided to print

new petitions.

"Students
of

a rush meeting on Tuesday,
September 12 at 7 p.m. in multipurpose room B. all students

Faculty
welcomed

President of Bloomsburg
State College Dr. James H.
McCormick addressed the
college faculty during the first
faculty meeting of the
semester.
Dr. McCormick emphasized
the success and improvement
he has seen in his 5 years of
presidency at BSC.
He feels the major challenge
facing BSC is controlled growth
and internal change in response
to needs of society in a declining
educational environment while
improving institutional excellence.
In conclusion, Dr. McCormick
is looking forward to the next
few years to be as challenging
and successful as the last five.

Housingimpro ves
by MICHELLE A. SARGENT
The housing situation for both
on and off campus appears to be
improving.. According to Mr.
John Abell, Housing Director,
"There is an unprecedented
amount of vacancies in town
and the surrounding area." *

problems both on and off
campus should contact Abell in
the Ben Franklin Building.

Whether looking for an
apartment or a room, the
Housing Office reports that
there are quite a number of
vacancies. Approximately 50
vacancies are still available.

Voter registration netted
more students than were
registered during the entire
Fall 1976 semester registration
for the presidential election. A
total of 53§ students registered
at class registration' held on
August 28.
According to Dr. David
Greenwald, "The " . .. coming
election of a governor will have
a much greater impact than the
election of a president on your
education at BSC and this will
be your only chance for four
years to have any say in the
matter."
The unofficial breakdown by
party is as follows: On-campus,
179 Democrat; 199 Republican;
and 83 no party. Off-campus: 31
Democrats; 34 Republicans;
and 13 no party. Totals for the
various parties are as follows:
Democrat 210 ; Republicans
233; and 96 registered no party.
Greenwald attributes the
success of the drive to the
Young Democrats, Young
Republicans, CAS, and CGA. He
also wishes to express appreciation to Deans James
Mitchell and Tom Cooper and to
Ken Schnure for providing us
with an improved locajaon.

As a service to the students
there is a glass-encased bulletin
board outside the Housing
Office containing details on
such vacancies: More information can be found inside
the office.
Columbia , Elwell
and
Lycoming are now the women's
dormitories, while Luzerne,
Montour and Northumberland
house men. Schuylkill Hall is
the only co-ed dorm this year.
The number of triples on
campus this semester is considerably less than last vear.
According to Abell, last year
approximately 224 people were
tripled. This semester there are
only about 160 triples. There are
a number of empty spaces so
far, and Abell feels the detripling process will be quicker
than in past semesters.

Tracknwnend in sty le

by MIKE INCITTI
The Bloomsburg State
College trackmen completed
their season record-setting style
last spring. Finishing third in
the Pennsylvania State College
Conference with a new BSC high
of 109 points, the Huskiestrailed
only champion Slippery Rock
and runner - up East Stroudsburg, who totaled 136 and 116
respectively.
Individual honors went to
Steve Eachus and Jeff
Carruthers. Eachus won the
state title in the 10,000 and 5,000
meter runs, grinding out times
of 30:29:3 and 14:34 respectively. For these feats, he was
named the most outstanding
runner in the meet.
Carruthers received state
champion recognition in his
specialty, the high jump. His
leap of 6'10&" floated him to a
first place finish ana\ ,a conference record. n
^ni: Other -finishers in the state
championship included Barry
Staton who claimed 2nd place in
the long j ump with a distance of
22'10".
Staton also earned a third in
the 100 meter run with a time of

11.3 and a 23 flat 200 meter run ,
which was good enough for sixth
place.
Ed Hauck tallied a third for
BSC in the 400 meter hurdles
clocked at 54.6. A third place in
the high jump was secured by
Chuck Stathopolous who soared
6'8". Rich Drzewieski crossed
the tape in 15.2 for a second
place in the 110 meters.
Jerry Workheiser added a
second in the triple jump with a
46'2" bound. Two second places
were blazed by Robert
Mcintosh in the 100 and 200
meter dashes with times of 11.0
and 22.7 respectively. In the
field, Dan McCallum put the
shot 50'10" for a third. Stan Kita
brought- home a fourth in the
ja velin with a heave of 198'9".
The 440 relay team comprised
of Staton , Mclntos n , Jakie
Williams ,, and Louis Giles
clicked for a time of 42.6, a third
¦
place finish.
Due to their fine performances in the state championship held at Slippery Rock,
Eachus and Carruthers advanced to the Division II
Nationals at Western Illinois
University in McComb Illinois.

Eachus set a torrid pace in
the ,5060. meter run but was
unexpectedly edged in the final
few hundred yards and had to
settle for second place with a
record-breaking
He continuedtime
on to of
14:15^.
the
NCAA Internationals held in
Mexico:City, finishing in third
placeT j^ v
Carruthers leap of 7'1V4" was
tops ih"-ihe National meet.
However, a few missed jumps
brought him down to fourth
place as three others equalled
that height but in less tries.
The BSC trackmen concluded
the season with a 18-6 indoor
record and a 10-5 outdoor
record. The season was marred
by only one dual meet loss. The
Huskies tied for seventeenth
place in Division II Nationals.
Head coach Carl Hinkle was
very pleased with the teams'
total performance. "Through
our excellent competition we
brought great recognition to
BSC track and field." Coach
Hinkle is looking forward to a
bright season this year and feels
that the team should duplicate
'or even surpass last seasons'
efforts.

Netters prepare for season
by CINDY PECK
For all students, the beginning of the fall semester means
reading, writing, arithmetic,
but .for some students, it also
means game, set, match.
The men 's and women's
tennis teams at BSC have been
preparing for the fall season
since the commencement of
school at the end of August.
The women's netters, under
coach Michael Herbert, had
quite an impressive season last
year. After compiling a record
of 9-4, the team went on to
become the state champion.
The last time BSC won a state
championship as a team, was in
1965, when the wrestlers won.
Returning from last year's
top five arc Lorie Keating, who
will again play in the top

position , and captain Sue
Purnell, who was last year's
state champion at the number 3
spot; and who may be playing
at the second position. Qther

The 1978 Bloomsburg State
football season began on a sour
note when some of last year's
players decided against playing
and failed to show up for
summer practice. But according to head coach. Ron
Puhl, all the disappointments
and bad feelings are behind the
team now, as the Huskies are
looking for their first winning
season since 1970.
"We were disappointed in the
players not coming out this
year," stated Puhl, "but with
the players we have, everyone
is happy, and I believe we are
tough enough to win."
"Our lines, both offensive and
defensive, are very capable. We
have a lot of faith in them, they
are tough and strong, and we
have good expectations. Our
offensive and defensive backs
are players , that have made
names for themselves on
campus as well as in the
community. Some of them, such
as Mike Morucci and Kurt
Pettis, are on pro lists.
As for the football program in
itself, Puhl feels he is in a
teaching race against time. The
program is without a spring
practice session, and a one and
a half week summer practice
schedule before the first
scrimmage is not enough time
to achieve perfection. The big
plus in the Husky's favor is the
coaching staff. With Joe
DeMelfi, Frank Williams, Bill
Wolff , Irv Wright, Carl Hink|e,
and Eric Megargel working
with Puhl, the Huskies have one
of the top staffs in the Conference. "This staff ," commented Puhl , "is highly
professional, with a dedication
towa rd the pursuit of excellence."
The captains for this year's
team will be Morucci and Chris
Betterly. Both are PSCAC allstars, are well respected by the
team, and are considered good
spokesmen.
Looking at the Huskies '
lineup, the big change will be at
the quarterback position.
Sophomore Rick Kneisley will
be the number one man, with
freshmen Gene Capinagro ,
Matt Figard , and Kurt
Werkheiser doing the backup
work. Puhl feels that these four
players will hold their own for
the Huskies this year. One bad

break occurred lasts week when
another quarterback candidate,
Dale Crooks, dislocated his
shoulder and < probably will be
out for the season..
As for the ground game, the
Huskies can say it all in one
player : Mike Morucci. Last
year Morucci averaged over 100
yards per game on the ground,
and will be looking for more of
the same in 1978. Joining hint in
the backfield are full backs
Danny McCallum and Frank
Yanik. .
Defensively, the Huskies have
virtually the same crew back
from last year's. Along \with
Betterly, Howie Gulick, Kurt
Pettis, Doug Pfautz , Dave
Reidenour, and Rob Keyser
(along with others) will anchor
the defense that was second in
the conference m- 1977.
Tomorrow afternoon , the
Huskies kick off their season at
home against Ithica College.
Ithica (1-0 in 1978) , has made
the national playoffs in Division
III the past three years, and are
contenders for the Lambert
Bowl trophy. Leading the way
for Ithica is running back Matt
Mees, a man the Huskies must
contain.
When asked why such schools
as Ithica, Shippensburg, and
West Chester are on BSC's
schedule, Puhl went right to the
point. "I feel that if we want to
play with men, we should
schedule men. Looking at our
schedule, there are good,^ solid
football teams, no rinky-jii iUcs.
The power part of oiir schedule
comes in the first few weeks."
So tomorrow afternoon,, still
another football season here at
"State" gets underway. And
with tomorrow's game, along
with the rest of the season, we
will all see whether the Huskies
- are the kind of team that coach
Puhl believes they can be,
