Who collects fee?

by JULIE STAMETS
Following the passage of a
referendum calling for a
refundable mandatory fee for
CAS ( C o m m o n w e a l t h
Association of Students) ,
problems have arisen at four
state colleges regarding the
collection.
Indiana , Kutztown , East
Stroudsburg, and Bloomsburg
state colleges have been facing
these problems.
According to Frank Lorah,
Student Life Accountant ,
Bloomsburg" State's problem v
stems from a discrepancy over
who should do the actual
collecting of the fee. Lorah said
that it was a general assumption that the fee would be

collected by the Community
Activities Office instead of the
Business Office although there
had been no provision for this
manner of payment.
Out of the 14 state schools, 13
approved the mandatory CAS
fee with Clarion State College
being the only school to defeat
the proposal.
According to Marcy Carey,
Public Relations Director for
statewide CAS in Harrisburg,
the mandatory fee, now that it is
refundable, can be reimbursed
to a student. If any student
opposes the views of the CAS
organization, he or she can
submit a written request and
receive a refund.

The increasing number of
criminal acts on campus has
become a problem at BSC,
according to campus security.
The dollar value on reported
theft in the year of 1977 was
$12,476 as compared to the
dollar value of $8,179 in 1976. In
1975 the monetary •• value of
reported theft was $5,198. There
has been a drastic increase in
theft as each year progresses. It
is predicted for the year of i978
that the monetary value on
theft will by far exceed the
value of previous years. This
prediction is validated by the
fact that in the months of
January through July, the
dollar value on reported theft
was $8,010, a figure very close to
that of the total value in 1976. It
should be noted that the figure
given for 1978 was not .for the
complete year. There are still
five months left in this year
which have not been included in
this figure.
During the year of 1977, 156
criminal incidents
were
reported to security of these
incidents, 98 were thefts. So far
in 1978, 164 incidents have been
reported. Of these incidents, 78
were thefts.
Following close behind theft,
is the large number of acts of
criminal mischief , the majority
of which is tampering with fire
equipment. Few students
realize the seriousness of
tampering with fire equipment.
The equipment is placed in the
buildings for the safety of those
persons within the building. In

the case of an actual fire, injuries may result due to faulty
equipment.
Security offers a few words of
advice: if any students have
any
valuable
personal
belongings, bring them to the
security office. They will
engrave your name, social
security number or any

marking which will aid in
identifying the article if stolen.
One other^poiht that cannot be
stressed enough is 'lock your
door,' even if the room is left
unattended for a few minutes.
One solution to reducing the
number of criminal acts occurring at BSC is campus-wide
concern and the cooperation of
the students and security.

Financia l office
improves sy stem
by NANCY FAUSNAUGHT
The financial aid office has
greatly improved their system
over the past two years, according to Tom Lyons, director
of financial aid.
The PHEAA form (Pennsylvania Higher Education
has
Assistance Agency)
recently replaced the FAF
(Financial Aid Form). There is
no charge for PHEAA; FAF
was $4.75."
In one year Lyons expects to
have developed a system that
students will not be negative
toward. He hopes they will feel
financial aid is there to help
them.
Lyons also explained the
procedure to obtain student
employment.
A PHEAA form must be filled
out and sent to Harrisburg. The
form takes four weeks to be
processed.
A student must then fill out a

blue student employment application, which can be obtained
at the financial aid office. On it
a student should list any skills
he has and the particular
supervisor for whom he wishes
to work.
Next year the deadline for
these applications is March 30.
This is earlier then this year's
deadline, which was April 30.
"This gives us extra time to
deal with any problems that
might come up," Lyons explained.
Lyons' advice to students
seeking employment on campus
is to read the forms carefully,
take their time in filling them
out, and leave nothing blank.
Leave zeros if something is not
applicable.
Piano recital scheduled for tomorrow night ,
at 8:15 in Carver Hall
has been cancelled.

Creation is the production of
new inventions which widen and
improve
the
universe ;
creativity is a unique art.
Johnny Lyon, vocalist and
leader of Southside Johnny and
the Asbury Jukes, lias proved
his creativity by producing a
new style of soulful blues as
heard through the sounds of his
group — Southside Johnny and
Asbury Jukes.
Lyon has mixed the trumpeting soul music of the early
'60s with the street corner
harmonies of the '50s and has
added a piece of hard blues for
modernization to yield a sound
of excitement that sets hia
audiences on fire !
Southside Johnny and the
Asbury Jukes got their start in
the early '60s at the Stone Pony
bar in Asbury Park , New
Jersey. There, the band played
their music to customers and
frequently jammed with other
new artists, such as Bruce
Springsteen.
When Springsteen finally left
the club to rise to stardom, the
Jukes continued to play at the
Stone Pony, as well as other
clubs along the East Coast,
building a better sound and
following. Through promotion
from the Stone Pony and
(Springsteen
Springsteen ,
would promote the group at his
concerts) , Epic records, finally
listened to the group and offered
the Jukes a contract. The
group 's first hit came in the Fall
of '75 with a cut from their debut
album "I Don 't Want to Go

another album "This Time It's
for Real" which has never
received the credit it deserves.
This summer, Southside
Johnny and the Asbury,Jukes
have opened the concert for the
Rolling Stones in Chicago.
The Jukes have also played a
medley
of oldies with
Springsteen in John Share's
Capital Theatre on New Year's
Eve of '78. The musical
production was broadcast live
through New York on WNEW.
The Jukes were at the Dr.
Pepper Festival and "as usual,
had the whole crowds bouncing
up and down on their seats."
Southside Johnny and the
Asbury Jukes will be performing at BSC on September 17
at 9 p.m. in Haas Auditorium.
Tickets are $4.00 and are
available at the Information
Desk of the Kehr Union.
Robert Palmer , renown
musician and artist of such
albumns as "Sneakin' Sally
Thru the Alley" has called the
Jukes "the most dependably
exciting performing band in the
East."
Listen to the words of Robert
Palmer, this exciting band is
not one to miss!!
