R a dio station gets
budget; bea utifica tion
p lans g o into aff ect
by Diane Abruzzese
Radio station gets constitution and budget approved ,
CGA invests money for campus
beautification , and the yearbook receives needed funds as a
result of the CGA meetin g held
Monday night at 7:00 p.m. in
the Multipurpose Room of Kehr
Union.
A budget of $6,125 was
allocated to radio station SSC.
Money will be used for more
equipment such as a remote
unit, micro ph ones , recor ds ,
tape players, a spot master ,
magazine subscriptions , tape
rentals and other expenses such
as travel costs. Accordin g to
Mr. William Acierno , station
advisor , this equipment is
needed to catch up with other
college stations and to be on a
par with them. The proposed
constitution was approved
unanimousl y by CGA.
CGA also approved $2,300 for
blueprints to complete campus
beautification
plans.
Discussion showed that CGA
considers this money an investment which will attract
new students and therefore is
an asset to this college and to
CGA . Plans for improvements
include fountains , basketball
and volleyball courts , and a
park behind Columbia with
picnic tables and barbecue pits.
The blueprints are available in
Carver for anyone wishing to
view them.
Barb Fancy and the yearbook
staff received $7,034 in order to
print this year 's edition, after
many arguments and muc h
discussion . Members of the
yearbook staff indicated their
feelings that "the yearbook is
j ust as impor t ant to stu dents as
founta ins and t rees" (campus
beautification ) . Several
stu dents oppose d this v iew ,
challen ging that the money
could be better spent for more
act ivit ies to attract stud ents
and int rease soc ial act iv ities.
Miss Fahey *s answer was that
the yearbook is " someth ing

point ed out that students spend
$60 on the Communit y Activities fee and have nothin g to
show for it when they leave.
After debate , CGA approved
the budget.
Other allocations were:
Student Bank received $660 to
purchase a . Remmington
duplicating machine for the
office of Student Activities. A
full-time Secretary Bookkeeper •
of Community Activities was
hired. CGA allocated $6,562 for
this purpose.
CGA gave $350 to CEC to help
defray the cost of sending ^
delegates to a convention in
Pittsburgh where they will
display the artwork of local
exceptional children .
One hundred and twenty-five
dollars was allocated to pay for
the remainder of the T-shirts
given out at voter registration.
APSCUF was unable to foot the
bill and was going to take
contributions from the faculty.
CGA felt that since students
registered and received the
shirts , student government
should help with this cost.

CGA vote d to rej ect a

Members felt that by support ing such a f und raising
activity they might obligate
themselves to all other fund

expenses.
Students at the 14 state owned
colleges and univers ities should
pay nearly $200 more tuition
beginning next year, a panel of
businessmen says.
In a report to be given to Gov.
Shapp this week, the team says
students should begin paying by
the credit hour instead of by the
semester.
The char ge should be $33 per
credit hour for Penna. residents
and $60 per hour for out-of-state
students.
Such a change would mean a
990
$ tuition for the standard 30
hours per year. Penna. students
now pay $800 per year , $50 more
than last year 's fee.
The team also called for $60 a
year incre ases in dormitory
charges and hikesin other fees
to helpsoMfges meet operating
Shapp can unilaterall y take
action on 86% of the
suggestions. The legislature
must approve the remainder ,
including the revision of the
tuition structure.
"This report extends the
work begun by the Governor 's
Review - 1972, which alread y
has produced ann ual savin gs of
about $164 million", Shap p said
in a statement.
Of the 885 recommendatio ns
made in 1972, Shapp has implemented 404 or 46%. The
legislature has acted on 20 or 99
recommendation s.
A spokesman for Shapp said
22% of the 1972 recommendations were either unfeasible or ran into stro ng

objections.

Student Government. C.G.A. Who really knows or cares about it
anyway? If you know nothing about it, I'll tell you ; basically C.G.A. is
a bank. Every other Monday night money concerns are brought
before the council which are either accepted or rejected. (And the
for it . . .But this is just a side issue.(
O.K. Before C.G.A. jumps on me, I want to have it know that
certainly I realize that money allocati ons to students should be a part
of our government's concerns. "A part" is the key phrase and I will go
so far as to say it should be a small part.
Why is it that a viable tool like student governmnet takes a narrow
view of what it can do? Why does it limit itself?
The only answer I can come up with is that cliche: "It's always been
this way." And I think this reason is probably accura te.
Why doesn't C.G.A. take a stand on campus issues? All these
threats of tuition increases, of the town ripping students off , and other
student problems could be quenched if the ,power of the students was
there.
As a parallel, notice how much the politicians now care about the
Icollege simply because so many of you registered to vote. Maybe
they'll think twice before putting student concerns (like town taxes )
This example shows that with
organization there are results.
Tell me how a tuition increase could arbitrarily be placed on
students if our representative government (C.G.A) banned students
together- against it? Tell roe how the landlords downtown could rip
your money off it these landlords know they couldn 't get away with it?
But as it stands now, where can one single student turn for help?

Academic advisement is one
of the most important services
rendered to students . But , w h en
that so-called aid changes to the
formality of signing a proscheduling paper , it's time to
make some changes.
I have been invited to attend a
meeting with Drs.'McCormick ,

Mr. Walker to discuss problems
in the academic advisement
system , and to discuss possible
solutions and changes.

motivation? More likely, students go to classes in order to
absorb anything they might be
tested for or to fulfill the
attendance records
How do all of these factors
influence my attitude toward
Since I'm not
the class?
"getting anything" out of this
course and I'm not earning
anything by being there, why
should I feel obliged to attend
every week? Well, I don't feel
obligated ; I feel pleased to be
having the opportunity to learn
exactly what I want tp learn and
to enjoy the process".
.There aren't enough class
hours involved with this course
for me to determine whether or
not I'd remain faithful to the
non-credit learning situation.
There is a possibility that I
would become as apathetic
towards this class as some of
the others I have been enrolled
tn.
But in a non-credit course, the
choosing is yours all around :
you are not required to enroll,
you are not required to attend,
participate, record or "learn."
And you are not required to
enjoy the experience either - I
just happen to find that I do
enjoy it because it is an exciting
situation radically differenct
from the traditional tedium of
the day-to-day classroom .

students in the class. The vast
majority of the people in the
course are over 30 or 40. years
old. And believe it or not, the
older folks have a distinct
advantafe in a course like this :
they are there to learn. They
don 't have any preconceived
notions of earning something or
memorizing facts and figures.
No one else in the class takes
notes ; I feel odd dragging open
my notebook at the beginning of
each evening 's lesson. Why ?
Because like most students,
college classes have trained me
to channel what I hear directly
onto paper , by-passing any
thought processes . This talent
enables students to think at a
later time about what has been
said , in order to memorize it for
future reference. The majority
of the people in this non-credit
course are benefiting from
thinking during the class and
benefiting just from being
there.
Another odd thing for a
college-trained student in a
class of this nature is attendance. The class meets for only
two hours a week for five weeks,
but the only motivations for
class participation is personal.
What makes the average college student attend his classes
fairly regularly?

How of ten do you find yourself
wishing that you could just
enjoy a class without having to
worry about being evaluated for
attendance, performance and
learning skills?
Taking a course with the
pass-fail option caomes close to
attaining this dream, but nothing can compare with the
experience of enrolling yourself
in a non-credit course. ,
Non-credit: what this means
to most students is that you pay
something for nothing; no
credits, no quality points , no
fulfillment of requirements . So
why take a non-credit course?
I don 't know , but I am
currenlty trying to find out just
wht I am enrolled in a
non-credit course called the
"American REvolutionary Spirit ." The class is at "midterm " now , and I' m starting to
compare it to the required and
regulated college courses that
we 're all used to.
I find that the course is more
like a club than a class. The '
only prerequisite is the $17.76
"initiation fee" and an interest"
in learning about the American
REvolution . Like any club, .
missing one of the weekly
meetings causes you to lose

criticism
centered
around a few definite points ,
are 'nt interested or don 't have
the time to adequately plan
their course s . One kid pointe d
out that this is a particulat
problem when your advisor is
the head of th e department .
Ano t her ma i n area of concern
is the advisem ent that freshm en
receive during Orientation .
'man y freshm en f eel t hey 're
"advised" to take too many of
the wrong kind of courses .
G oing .alon g wi t h t hese val id
critcisms , I also received q ui t e
a f ew ideas as t o how t o amend
t he adv isemen t syst em t o
i m prove its eff ecti veness. The
best sugges tion I uncover ed was
t ha t each de par t men t se t up a
panel of bo t h st uden t s and
faculty members to discuss
d if f eren t cour ses, their requiremen t s, work Involved , and the
ultimate goals of the course.
One over-b urdened fresh maa
sugges t ed a course descri pt ion
be included in t he Mas t er Class
Schedule booklet , This is a
partic ularly good idea since
course descri ptions vary from
semester to semester. Another
argumen t favori ng a brie f
summar y is the resultin g lack
of information available to
students when a - department
adds a new course to its
curr ic ulum an d t hey onl y clue
to its contents is "social interaction. "
Another change in this same
ve i n is t he d iv ision of courses
into categories such as reading,
lect ure , writing and other
cate gories .
One suggestion which I
thought quite perceptive and
feasible was to have only those
f acul ty mem bers as adv isors
who wan t t o advise , perhaps
I hey could even be paid for t heir
services . Carrying this idea of
colu t eer adv ising one st ep
fur t her , those who choose to
take on st uden t adv i sement
could be trained In the finer
points of the jo b.
So, ever yone real izes tha i
t here i s a lot t o be changed , but
nothing is beyond help, includin g the advisement system,
If you have any ideas about how
adv isement can be improved to
hel p you , let me know . Send an
comments to me at the Campus
Voice office.

Dear Editor
To Name Withheld,
You are obviously a closedminded outsider of the Greek
System. To say that Greek
fraternities seem to consist of a
group of sadists who enjoy
calling meetings in the middle
of the night when no emergency
exists or that pledgesare put
through some of the most
ridiculous psychological torture outside of Auschwitz very
nicely proves my first point. A
closed-minded individual only
sees what he wants to see,
which is precisely what you did
in your letter.
Brotherhood is an undefinable concept to me, but I
can truly say that my college
life would be severely lacking
without it. Each fraternity
consists of a group of men who
are bonded by this brotherhood.
It is a irreplacible kind of close
friendship th a t cannot
adequately be expressed
verbally but is deeply felt by
each and every brother on this
campus, regardless of his
fraternity. The f act that youare
not a pledge, nor will be under
the present set-up can only be a
plus to the Greek System. The
really worthwhile things In life
are not given to us, but earned.
Three or four or five weeks of
pledging is nothing compared
to al| you get back for it once
you become a brother.
Pledging is
prima rily a time to get to know
the brothers and their fraternity, although it entails much
more. I can understand that
some of the activities durin g
pledging seem pointless to you,
and believe it or not they do to
me, too. The fact of the matter
is that the purposeful activites
outweigh the pointless activites
ten fold which is something
which you could not possibly
see from your chosen position .

Fraternities were a tremendous help to this community
during the flood, contribute
constantl y to charitable
organizations, paint day care
centers , and do many other
thin gs to help out your so-called
"real world. "
I don't particularly enjoy
being called an 'inorganic twit'
althou gh you have a right to
your opinion. As far as contributin g to the frustrations and
insecurity already crowding
the busy students lives, this
may or may not be the case
during the short pledge period.
Once you become a brother ,
however , there is a whole
brotherhood who would do most
anything to help you to make
your busy life much easier.
This, I am sure , you will have
difficulty understanding as a
non-Greek.
Todd Fay, VicePresident ,
Interfraternity Council
Dear Editor :'
To "Name Withheld"
Wh at are Greek frater n itie s?
What are Greek sororities? The
last issue of the Campus Voice
carried your poor answers to
these questions. First of all, no
one has the right to put down all
organizations by mere generalization taken from one exanvpl
Secondly, not all organizations
are Greek. BSC has sevearl
non-Greek fraternities and sororities and their pledging involves the same basic principles.
The goal of college is to
prepare you for the real world ,
I'll agree. Let me tell you how
it' s done. There are continuing
service proj ects such a sponsoring deprived children , along
with more short term projects.
I have personally seen all the
fraternities
and
sororities
involved w ith such t h in gs as
Halloweening for UNICEF ,
36-hour bathtub marathon for
Multiple Sclerosis , working at
Bloodmobiles , helping a wellknown na tio nal organiza ti on
ra ise money f or a play ground
f or children , donating their time
and their belongings to safety
dur i ng t he flood , t o name a few.
As far a pledging is concerned ,
, yes, there are some odd things
done but it is most certainly
NOT "psychological t or t ure."
Thou gh you are so uneduca t ed
to think that there are no rules
governing pledging activities ,
y ou are q ui t e wrong. There is
no wa y t ha t a person can be
"forced" to do something. If
you have overhear d any whispers of terri ble things behind
closed doors , I say you were
eavesdroppi ng at the wrong
moment .
Sorori t ies and fratern i t ies
have rules in regards t o
pledging.
There is no one
person that has such absolute
power as t o control the lives of a
grou p of people, THINK : when
is the last time you 've seen a
grou p of people up in the middle
of the night (ov the soul purpose
of harassin g someone else?
You say the idea 1b to prevent a
pledge from studying ; well,
little known to you but a
person 's cum is a major
consideration in a sororit y or
fraternity . Most organizations
require at least a 2.0 for
someone to be an active
member, some require higher.
Do you really thi nk th at th e idea
is to lower someone's cum?
What good would it do? Let's
be serious !
Looking at the pledges of this
semester, none seem to be
suffering from any traumatic
expierences. This is probably
because they knew what pledgin g ent ailed and yet , of their
own free will, committed themselves. What right do you have
to criticize their decisions and
the decisions of the brothers and
sisters that make the same
decision previously?
Why did you lump everybody
together?
Fraternities and
sororities are made up of
individuals and each in itself is
individual . So, dear "Name
Withh eld ," all I have to say to
you is: '/ Why don 't you learn
the rules before you try to play
the game? "
ValerieBernoeky
Dear Editor :
To "Name Withheld":
In reference to your lettter
about Greek Fraternities on our
campus : I can't figure out if
you were a pledge who quit, or
just someone having a neatness
\ attack, looking up impressive
words in the dictionary while
making , a f u tile attempt to
attack the Greek System.
I
If you have never been a
pledg e, you would not know
about the pledging activities
that do have meaning once you
are in. As for you Power
Sructure, it may be true that the
Greeks run the CGA, but who
elects them ? There are only
700-800 Greeks on our campus ;
hardly a power grip in a school
of 5,000. Besides, the CGA does
an excellent job. The GReeks
are first leaders inside their
fraternities, and then they
become experienced and capable leaders outside.
We are no t begging for people
to join our fraternities , so if you
do not like what you see or you
don 't like what is being done ,
don 't pledge . It is not you 3-4
weeks t ha t t hese pledges give
up. It' s t heir choice , not yours ,
and t hey know wha t it en t ails
and they accept i t. Very rarel y
does a pledge less tha t appreciate what he has been through.
Who are you to judge our way of
doing t hings ? There are plenty 0
ot her organ iza t ions and clubs
for you to join if the hassl e of
pledging disgust s you.
In t he real worl d , you are
going to have face situations
that require self-control , patience and persistance. These
are vir tues that pledging brings
out to the fullest. There is no
other way that a prospect ive
broth er could learn to appreci ate his pledge brothers , and to
prepare him for the brotherhood he is at tempting to become
part of. There IS more to
fraternities than parties.
As far as your elderly people
and mentally retarded , if you v
would have taken some time *
before writin g this letter , you

would have found that fraternities and sororities have service
projects that are useful to the
whole community. Beta Sigma
Delta collects knick knacks for
Danville State Hospital and has
collected for Canver and other
charities. Sigma Iota Omega
has a party for children that nee

flood waters of the Susquehanna
threatened houses in Espy , they
moved furniture in and out of
their neighbors' homes who
needed help.
Lambda Chi
Alpha visited hospitals and
homes of the elderly to cheer
the disadvantaged and is going
to start a Big Brother program
downtown .
These and many other projects by other fraternities and
sororities are of benefit to the
whole community. I cannot see,
except through ignorance , how
you could have suggested that
we don't contribute.
I hope this letter has awakened you and other people who
are against fraternities and
sororities that we do contribute
to the community. I also hope
these points I have presented
will answer your questions
about pledging, power structures, leadership ability, and
service projects. So the next

And of course, this power can

And of course, this power can
be carried beyond, to state and
federal issues. Taking on the
responsibility means not only
thru registering, but by
following thru on that initial
step by action. Action means
being receptive and aware to
the issues, politians running for
office, adn finally, voting.
Only you can make the choice
of what you will or will not vote
for, and only you can know that
the choice you made was made
in sound confidence after
you've examined the issues.
The campus needs student
involvement, the kind of involvement that made
registration successful. There
is a strong potential for an even
stronger voice(power) which
will help the campus, and
Bloomsburg to meet out needs
and wants, educationally and
financially. Please contact me,

Dea r Edi t or:
After "reading Bill Sipler 's
editorial in last week's Campus
Voice, I have reached the
conclusion that he has the
potential to follow in the
tradition of many American
sports writers in that he doesn't
know what the hell he is talking
about. Sipler is commenting in
an area in which he is not really
qualified to comment, and I feel
he has no right to do so.
It seems to be a popular
pastime on this campus to
criticize our football team, a
practice which is unfair to them
and merely reflects the ignorance of the "critic ." I for one
am damn sick and tires of
hearing these guys, who work ,
sweat and bleed while others
are enjoying summer vacations
at the shore, insulted and
criticized. If the critics think
they can do a better job, why
don 't they try and we .aill see
how well they do.
TITe football team deserves
our support and the support of
the CGA as much as any other
sport in the school.

Dear Councilpersons:
The p u r p o s e of t h i s
correspondence is to express a
deep sense of gratitude for your
assistance during the recent
student voter registration drive
held in the Kehr Union. As
recorded by the local
newspaper the drive was such a
success that the local Board of
Voter Registration extended
the registration period from
Wednesday to Thursday and
Friday October 2 and 3. I wish
to extend a "vote" of appreciation for your assistance
in the great success of this
student voter registration. It
would not have been as successful as it was without your
assistance. The CGA, APSCUF,
faculty and students themselves are also to be
congratulated for their efforts.
Without this united support the
drive would not have been as
successful as it was. Please
keep in mind that voter
registration is only half the
battle. It is imperative that
every student who registered
during this registration votes
on November 4. It is only
through voting that we can
demonstrate the political involvement of our stu dent
population here at Bloomsburg
State College. I know we can
count on your support in getting
out t h e stu dent vote on
Tuesday, November 4, 1975.

committee of APSCUF to find
ways BSC could .cut down on
energy costs. Just from looking
around the campus and talking
to maintainence personnel, Mr.
Fried noted that the dorms
were overheated while windows
were open, an obvious waste.
He found that buildings haven't
been inspected for adequate
insulation and that there have
been significant steam leaks for
the past two years. A full
analysis is being done by Mr.
Fried, to be turnedover to SEA
when completed. He came up
with a simple rough draft of an
energy'saving program that the
school could implement with
little capital investment:
1. Building inspection.
2. More efficinet lighting.
3. Hot waste water from the
cafeteria used for heating.
4. Trash should be burned for
turbine or heat generation.
5. Phase out all-electric
power needs by installation of
solar heating units and wind
power to generate electric
cower.
6. Lowering of thermostats hi
buildings, ex. 60 degrees at
nigh- and 68 during the day.
7. Reduce hot water consumption and heat water no
more than 120 degrees.
With these steps carefully,
taken and cooperation by all,
the school utility bin would be
reduced * by 10 percent, a
significant amount especially
when the savings could be
about $68,000.

Students for Environmental
Action (SEA ) is a fouryear eld
CGrA appointed committee that
operates outside of CGA. The
purpose of SEA is to get the
campus educated about and
involved in environmental
issues by different means;
speakers, displays, presentations and the media. SEA
would like to make college
students aware of school
related issues. In particular,
energy conservation, a topic
that needs minimal explanation.
On Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, SEA had a solar
energy display in front of the
Union. The purpose was to show
that energy, (heated water ) ,
could betaken directly from the
sun. The display also had
petition's for students to sign in

Controversial. That one

gynecological self-help lecture
given by Lolly and Jeanne
Hirsch last Wednesday in the
Union.
This campus has never had
the "exposure" to women's
health and its facets that it had
from Lolly and Jeanne. To start
things off , an announcement by
Dr. Blair Ann Revack was
ma de concern in g t he oral
contracept ive, modi-corn. It
has been discovered that this
pill is ineffective because of its
low estrogen content. Women
on the modi-corn pill are asked
to finish their cycle, using
additional contraceptive
devices during intercourse,
After this cycle, they are encouraged to contact t h eir

nin 't
heard nothin' yet! Lolly and
Jeanne moved on to more m in d
rattling information and
presentations than most women
run into during a lifetime.
Although bearing no medical
degree or academic tra in i ng,
the Hirsches decided to spread
their knowledge of self-health
f rom their experiences at t he
1971 N O W ( N a t i o n a l
Organ ization for Women)
convention on self-health and
t h ei r p ersona l encounter
¦
groups.
. '
Slides of the history of selfhealth were shown first. Carol
Downer, a leader and organizer
of the movement, and Lorraine
Rothman , a biologist who
developed the menstrual extraction technique , were
shown , along with their cervixes, Downer was arrested for
practicing medicine without a i,
license when it was discovered
that she had been applying
yogurt to women 's cervixes
when they complained of
vaginal itch. Can you imagine
being busted and getting
asked,"Where's the yogurt? "
Cervix after cervix was
shown to the audience. Pictures
of the cervixes were taken with
the help of a plastic speculum
or a "magic gadget" as Lolly
and Jeanne call it to open the
vagina. The "magic gadget" , a
mirror , and a light are all you
need to examine yourself. By
using the speculum , which is
exactly what a physician uses
(only this one is plastic, not
metal) , the cervix is exposed
for examination. One can
ueieci pregnancy, an oncoming
menstrual
p er i o d , and
sometimes cancer, although
cancer can not always be
detected by eyesight. The os,
which is the opening of the
cerv i x , was the leading
character of the slides.
Lolly and Jeanne took a
rat her ra dical view on the
medical profession of this
country. They argue that we
"are not legally free to decide
where or when we want to give
birth, " "t he highest amount of
unneccesary surgery takes
place in gynecology," " vitam in
C can Induce a period," and
"you can be and should be the
first on your block to know if
you are pregnant. " Valid
statements? It's up to you to
decide.
To implant their message on
your mind , Lolly and Je anne
mount a table , strip from the
waist down , insert their
speculums, and displ ay their
cervixes to the audience. Most
women of the audience left
,a^er )( ^dr i, ^jnds 1; h0; been
super-saturated by cervixes.
However, the Hirsches ( after
re-assembling themselves)
talked to the remainder of the
group about menstrual extraction . This technique can be
used to "end a five-day period
in five minutes" or as an early
abortion technique. The
materials used are two pieces
of candula (plastic tubing), a
jar to catch the fluids, a 50 cc
syringe to draw out the fluid ,
and a device for the syringe to
keep air out. One piece of
candula is slipped in the os and
the other end attached to the jar
and the syringe. Thus far, no
harmful effects of this method
are known an d it is not
out l awe d as an a b ort i on
technique.
It takes a lot of intestinal
f ort itude to lecture on a topi c
not medically approved and
bare yourself to a room full of
strangers. Their statements
are medically, scientifically,
philosophically, and socially
controversial. Lolly and Jeanne
Hirsch lecture on health not
medicine. Their style is, to say
the least , unique. Are you
willing to or can you believe in
them and their methods? It's up
to you.

Also, SEA held a meeting a
week ago entitled "Energy &
Retrenchment." The turnout
was quite poor, reflecting the
lack of interest of both the
students and faculty. The gist of
the meeting dealt with the
relation of the two topics;
saving money on school energy
and trying to transfer the
savings over to the salary
section of allocations for
professors so retrenchment
would decrease. The only
problem is transferring the
savings; one must go through
loads of state red tape. '

as a true rock climber , he feels
that any abuse whatso- ever to

dangerous ; this brin gs us to the

At all times , a man must be

and rewards of rock climbin g.

Exper ience weekend hikes,
rock climbin g seminars
by EdHauck
The QUEST program is now
in full gear with weekend experiences set up for different
interests in the outdoors. There
have been day and weekend
hikes , both on foot and bike that
are very successful.l
The October general meeting
which was held last Tuesday
night , had a good turnout and
upcoming events were
discussed. The special
presentation for the meeting
was on rock climbing. Bill
Wise, a local sports shop
pro pr ietor , was on hand to give
a full and interestin g talk on the
"ar t" of rock climbing. He
described
it as an " art "
because ''one h as to be creat ive
when climbing, always thinking
of the different possibilities to
scale the rock ."
Mr. Wise stressed two main
points throughout
his
by Gordy Schultz
It has a certa in mystique,
almost a personality of Its own.
It' s different than any place on
campus and it houses the finest
and most varied collection of
loyal guys. It is the 7th floor of
Elwell Hall or, as it is better
known , "The Penthou se."
Rumors circulate throu ghout
the building and people wonder ,
"What' s going on up there?" I
too heard the rumors so I
decided to take my chances and
go up there to investigate. The
first thing that I noticed was the
din of stereo music coming
from several rooms . I was to
find out later tha t stereos are
very important in "The Pen-
accomodat ions to an y person
because of ra ce, color , religion ,
sex , ancestr y, or na ti onal
origin , or to a bli nd person
because of the use of a guide
dog."
This law is excepted by
people who rent living ar eas in
their own home or an ad j oin ing
duplex , which means people
who rent in the ir own home
may discriminate in any way
the y like.
There is no clause to protect
the students in any aspect of
housing. A more detaile d explanation of these laws can be
obtained in the Housing office
located in the Ben Fr anklin
Building.
There are very few things you
can do about th is problem You
can wait until the off-camp us
housing director y comes out or
just keep on tryi ng pot luck in
the Morn ing Press advertisements. You may also
-, •
contemplate the purchase of a
tent and sleeping bag. It would
¦ tfefca JJttJ ffJOt ld , but it would be
relatively inexpensive .

"
I asked several of the
inhabitants if they thought that
there were any advantages in
living so high up. I was surprised when they mentioned
may things includein g the
"great view", better TV
reception and that they see the
rain before anyone else. The
fact that there is no floor above
or a West wing, means that they
can play their music louder
without worryin g about
bothering anyone. Because of
only one wing, RA Steve Wood
says that ever yone knows each
other , there is solidarity and a
"better identity " and that the
group is "more closely knit"
than other Erwellians probably
are. Because of working with a
small group, RA s Wood and^
Jack Roehrig can keep better
contro l an d know when there is
a stranger on the floor.
To prevent you from th ink ing
that a Utopia exists here , there
are a certa in amount of
disadvantages also. When the
elevators are out of order , it
means a long walk up seven
flights. This is actually an
advanta ge, for the guys like to
th ink that they are in better
shape than anyone else. Even
cross-countr y star runner ,
Steve Eachus (who runs 17
miles daily ) is winded after
that climb. Besides that , the
Penthouse dwellers are succeptible to nosebleeds in the
th in air , an d the y can 't boil
water. Also, fire drills are a
problem and windows can 't be
opened for clouds will roll in
dur ing the morning.
There is a disagr eement
between the RA and others on
their noise situation. One
person said that one cannot get
to sleep until 2 a.m., wh ile Steve
Wood claims that it is quiet
compared to other wings that
he has been in. Some say that it
gets rowdy " about ever y
night ," while others say on
Saturday night only. Also,
during the recent Hu rricane
Blolse, water leaked through
the roof and onto the floor.
The guys of the floor are an
interesting cast of characters.
If an anthrop ologist were to
study this society, he might
conclude that they wors hipped
stereos and that the elevator
was some kind of creat ure that
was ornery at times and broke
down. They seem to take great
pride in their sound systems
and 8-tracks and in fact have
"stereo wars" to see who is the
loudest. They are a unique
bunch of stud ents ; they are
friendly with each other , which
lessens'some problems but also
increases the amount of pranks
pulled on themselves . The
upperclassmen don't ignore the
freshmen and while freshmen
tend to be somewhat shy and
withdrawn , the twelve that are
on the wing are outgoing and
productive , as frosh president
Bruce DeHaven proves. One
freshman described the guys
as, " a lot of pushers ", meaning
that they are doers instead of
watchers.
The Penthouse is proud of the
"celebrities " that live there.
There are football players ,
baseball players , star wrestlers
and runners. Just about every
fraternity is represented , and a
look at names shows a wide
variety of nationalities , too.
Even with all these different
groups, there is said to be no
cliques that have formed.
One of the "celebs" is Bill
Dennis, who is starting his third
year of Penthouse living. He
had me roaring with laughter
with observations such as the
advantage that; it is easy to
watch the buildings sway in the
wind and that pigeons used to
perch oh their windowsills until
they were eliminat ed by
"society " . Besides his comic
talents , Bill is also a fine
juggl er who bounces balls off
walls and even eats an apple
while performing. Footballer
Barry Staton dazzled me with
his card tricks , while down the
hall, one man intently did his
Yoga exerc izes.
Th ere are a num ber of craz y
events that ta k e place on the
top floor. There are guitar
concerts , a weekly golf tournamen t, an d a "Beach Boys"
concert every Thursday. There
are also battles with Siamese
Fighting fish, one of whom died
and was buried in the 4th stall ,
where by agreement , all the
graffiti is written . The panty
raid of Oct . 5, was started by
some Pentho use members . The
golf tourney is called , "The
Sunday After Dinner Open "
and is held weekly at 5:30. It is
open only to the seventh floor ,
and each entr ant pays a 10 cent
«ntr y fee, which compr ises the
w inner 's award on $1.20. The
course has nine holls, including
2 bunkers (garbag e cans), and
two doglegs. Tom Fulton is the
defending champ (12 strok es)
and the tourney 's pres ident (he
owns the ball).
Ever yone I asked gave me an
emphatic "No " when asked if
they would move to a lower
floor if they could. They call It a
"good floor " and guys actually
return , for second or third
years . They consider themselves gentlemen and want to
keep a certai n classiness about
the place . BUI Dennis described
it as "calm and • peaceful" ,
compared with the wlldness of
his two previous years . One
resident summed up the
Penthouse experience , "It' s a
different worl d up here , ''

Vibrant voices, mellow harmony
Voices Inc. visual ize the plight of the black man
i
by Diane Gaskins
"How did you like the performan ce?" For anyone answeri ng this question ,the ultimate
1
H
response
would
have
to
be
a
speechless
sigh.
Because
stating
it
explici
ty,
words
cannot
even
1
H
begin to express the epitome of the performance that took place in Haas , Tuesday Oct. 14.
11
1
This sparkling and outrageously fantastic event , "Journey Into Blackness " was
I
H
m
magnificently portrayed by a nationally known group entitled "Voices Inc. " whose vibrant
1
m
voices and mellow harmonizing proved far beyond doubt that they have earned their name.
1
The
scene
opened
in
Africa
with
drum
beats
,
authentic
African
costum
es,
vibrant
voices,
I
H
body movements and native chants . Then through pantomine gestures and startled cries one
|
H
could
actually
visualize
their
captive
invasion
.
|
H
Soon after there was the era of bondage and the group entered humming a slave song which is
1
9
still
popular
in
many
black
churches
today;
"Wade
in
the
Water
."
Other
tunes
such
as
"No
I
H
Longer Freedom ," and "Where is my Africa " were also sung.
I
if
,
It
was
not
hard
to
imagine
the
strife
,
pain
and agony that took place on the auction block and
1
1
you
had
to
laugh
at
the
slaves
'
inside
they
humor
as
talked
about
how
they
would
play
dumb
in
1
H
fron
t
of
their
masters
and
of
the
many
inadequacies
of
their
white
masters.
H
a
While there was humor , th ere was also at the same time a solemn seriousness that was
§J
greatly reflected throughout the drama.
1
j»
It
told
of
the
tragedy
of
a
slave
being
killed
;
the
enactment
was
so
touching
many
people
felt
I
H
§
i
a tear slip into the corn er of th eir eye.
§
1
In spite of many hardships , toils and snares , the slaves still found time to sing songs of hope
I
I
such as "There 's a Great Day a-Coming " and "I 'm Gonna Sit at the Welcome Table ."
Act II began with black men and women walking out of the house of bondage three million
1
I
1
strong. There was much blues singing and the Saturday swing with the nice sound of the bands
1
dance steps so lively that the audience couldn 't help getting inyolveinvolved with fingers
1
1
popping, hands clapping and foot stomping in order to keep up with the tempo that was set.
1
Th en the scene switched to a church setting that is familiar to anyone who has ever been
i
associated with a black church. There were songs such as ' 'Jesus the Light of the World ,''' 'J oy
9
of my Salvation " and "Amazing Grace. "
B
The seven dynamite performers then portrayed their strident walk of freedom with a strong1
willed affirmation "I wnat it , I' m gonna get it. " This ren ovation was visuall y displayed by the
I
clenched fist and sign of peace.

The performers themselves stated that "it was nice bieng here " and t ha t the au di ence was
I
lovely and more responsive than they had anticipated. They all hoped that everyone enjoyed
I
¦ and understood the message they were trying to bring across and that they don 't forget it. One

will be expanded later. Mr.
Acierno also stated that in the
future , when pur station is not
broadcasting, it-will hook up to
WMMR , from Philadelphia.
"The staff of WHLM have
been very helpful with
technical advice. Our objective
is not to replace but augment
and supplement them. We will
broadcast games they can 't
handle ," he stated. Mr. Acierno
also pointed out that the station
is open to suggestions to improve its programming.
Mr. Acierno thanked all who
supported the station and in-"
troduced his staff: Richard
Eckrote , Station Mana ger ;
Joseph Daley , P ro gram
Director; Peggy Moran ,
Continui ty Director ; and Ron
Isherwood , Business Mana ger.
A reception to celebrate the
opening of radio station BSC
was held Tuesday Oct. 14, in the
President' s Lounge of Kehr
Union. According to Mr.
William Acierno, advisor to the
new organization , radio station
BSC plans to broadcast
programs taking place in Haas ,
Nelson Fieldhouse. Redman
Stadium , and possibly athletic
events held away from home.
The station is LPB , Low
Power Broadcasting, and its
signal is transmitted into the
dorms over the telephone lines.
The signal is not powerful
enough to go off- campus , but
lines have been set up to include
Haas , Redman Stadium , and
Nelson Fieldhouse. Broadcasts
now are from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, but

hours of searching the area , we
thought it best to return. The

were suddenly buffeted by air

th at we could never recover in
time to avoid impact with the
water.
Our deaths seemed imminent , and the surge of
adrenalin which courses
through a man 's veins when the
on-rush of death is sensed filled
me with frantic desper ation . In
the split-second before impact ,
I closed my eyes and resigned
my fate to the inevitable.
Imagine my amazement , when
noting no impact I opened my
eyes to find that we were in
total blacknes s and apparently
plunging upward and upside
down !
Evans hit the cabin . and instrument lights. Something was
grossly wrong, for according to
the instruments we were
properly oriented and still
falling downward ! I eased the
wheel forward and slowly
leveled-off our flight. Then I
righted the plane even though
the horizon control indicated
that we were upside down.., .. .
In essence all our instrumentation was acting in a
negative manner. Upon

descend, in order t o see w here
we were. Our cautious approac h revealed t he presence of
black water which gleamed
beneath our landin g lights,
In an attempt to ascertain our

A blazing, violet sun shone its

Karate and ju do
An express ion
of the self
by Louis Hunsinger
"Our pur pose is to make
karate a widely recognized
sport and to familiarize the
campus with it," stated George
Calisto, one of the two instructors in the Judo and
Karate club who possess a
black belt in Karate. The other
one is Ja y McHenry.
Geor ge is affiliated with the
A&G Tae Kwan Do club of
Staten Island , , N.Y. ' Jay is
associated with American
Okinawan Association . Both
are licensed to give out belts.
Among the other purposes of
the club cited by George and
Jay is to offer the experience of
learning the art of Karate and
to sharpen the skills of those
who have already learned.
The club will offer two
sessions, the personal defense
session is on Monda ys and
Wednesda ys at 1:00 p.m. in
Centennial Gym. The other
involves sport Karate. This
session is more physically
rigorous and individual skills
are developed , accor ding to
Calisto , who runs the session.
He added that this program
gives a complete overview of
Karate and it takes the best
aspects of both sport and
Kumite Karate , which is individual combat.
George emphasized that
Karate isn't all "chop-chop "
and violence. It' s one of the
most individual sports there is;
it gives the individual a chance
to express himself. At this time
there is no one interested in
Judo , so there is no Judo being
offered according to Jay
McHenry, the club' s other
black belt Karate instructor.
The club hopes to give a
Karate exhibition sometime at
a future date.
The club' s advisor is Roger
Sanders , who will hold the first
general meeting Oct. 30 at 8:00
p.m. in the Kehr Union coffeehouse. All interested persons
can come to the meeting or
come to any of the sessions
being run.
Migrant workers
20th Century America where ar e you?
Contributed by James John
StabinsH
A rather sickening dilemma
still exists in today 's society. It
is the life of migrant workers.
Most people don't realize that
only a few miles in most any
direction from Bloomsburg
esists almost a 19th century
rerun of slave camps , unsympathizing crew leaders ,
poor housing and recreation
facilities , and virtuall y no
medical care . These are only a
few of the conditions that exists
in the migrant worker camps
located at Millville and
Main Wile. (Both are only
minute s away from BSC. )
All of the migrant camps are
popul ated with either Blacks or
Puerto Ricans , and are located
away from everything. To get
to a migrant camp you practically need a map and a four
wheel drive jeep . This is a very

so claims J oe R uggiero
Barb Hag an
"Lowest prices in town!"
That' s what manager Joe
Ruggiero has to say about the
Union Snack Bar. Joe Ruggiero
is the Campus Voice employee
of the week.
Joe is the food service
director in the Kehr Union , and
he is an employee of ARA
Slater Food Service.
Mr. Ruggiero is a graduate of
Connecticut State College with
a degree in food management.
He is originall y from New
H aven , and is married and has
four children .
Joe has worked with ARA
since 1970 and this is his third
year at BSC. He recently came
from ARA Services in
Harrisburg where he was in
charge of three cafeterias in the
capitol complex. He returned to
Bloomsburg because he didn 't
like commut ing or being away
from his family. He really likes
being here at BSC, although it is
only on a temporary basis.
Since Mr. Ru ggiero has been
here he has done quite a few
. new things. All employees ,
including students , are dressed
in new uniforms. He has tried
experiments for faster food
services especially at lunch.
Organizing to affect change are these members of Students for
Environmental Action as they work to get petitions signed to prohibit
building energy parks , (photo by Palmer )
The Snack Bar serves about
1800 students a day. Students
now enter in the side entrance
and exit through the double
doors where there is a cash
registar. There have been
severa l promotions and contests but with only a fair
amount of participation . A new
addition to the Snack Bar in the
planning is a real old-fashioned
soda fountain area. It is expected to be com pleted In
January of 1976. ARA also
handles the concess ions at
f oot b all games and ot h er
events.
Joe feels he has a great staff ;

Mar ilyn run It at night. Some of
Joe 's employees have been
work ing at the BSC Snack Bar
between 12-14 years.
Joe RugRiero is the buyer ,
hirer , firer , and does all administrative duties of the
facility. Joe states that the
Snack Bar is always open for
criticism , comments , and
suggestions. I' m sure you can
all agree that Joe Ru ggiero is
indeed a terrific employee of

One of the outside influences that could be affecting BSC athletic and
Physieal Education programs is the new Title Nine status that was put
on the books last year. According to Dr. Bautz , the Athletic Director at
BSC, this is only a slight possibility.
At BSC the Phys. Ed. classes are coeducational and have been for
years. A course can 't be listed for men only, which is a practice not
done here.
BSC athletes are restricted to the sexes in the non-contact areas of
swimming , basketball and tennis where there are separate teams for
men and women . Female participation in golf , track and field and
cross country is allowed because they are considered non-contact
sports. Contact sports such as football and wrestling are prohibitive by
nature.
While BSC is practicing a non-prohibitive behavior in non-contact
sports, according to Dr. Bautz, the college is trying to gain greater
awareness and attention for the existing women's sports on campus.
The college publicity department, through George Eget, the BSC's
sports information specialist, has been sending out more information
oh the BSC women's sports to the local media.
With this, the Athletic Department has been trying to strengthen the
existing programs. Before the college can expand its program, it has
to have more interest and desire among the women on campus plus
more coaches available.
A major difference between the state colleges, such as BSC, and the
major colleges that survive on the football programs for funding is
just that. Most of the major colleges get revenue from their major
sports to support their various athletic programs. Equal funding may
produce litigation from these schools as if they are forced to distribute
the funds for athletics equally and some of the programs may fold.
Unlike major colleges, BSC doesn 't rely on gate receipts to fund
athletic programs. The money for these programs comes from the
College Government, the C.G.A. The gate receipts in turn go back to
C.G.A. and not to the college as they do in most major schools.
Salary is a major difference between the maj or colleges and BSC. At
a major college such as Maryland , the football coach is under contract
only as a coach , with all the insecurity of being a coach. The coaches
for lesser teams are teachers and have the security of their teaching
salaries. The problem with this is that one of the teachers who coaches
a women's tennis team wants to be paid the same salary as the football
coach who only has Jiis salary for being a coach and doesn't have the
security the teacher has.
At Bloomsburg, all coaches are paid by their rank as teachers. In
addition , according to Dr. Bautz, all coaches get the same amount of
release time for being coach due to the current state contract. This is
an improvement over the last teachers contract which differentiated
between men and women coaches.
According to Dr. Bautz, BSC is in line with the intent of Title Nine
including budgets for individual sports. Dr. Bautz reviews the budgets
that the coaches submit and passes them on to CGA who has the final
say.

Turnovers again hurt the
Huskies this week as Millersville was able to capitalize on
the Husky miscues. The wet

found it difficult to make their
cuts on the slippery surface and
also to hang onto the ball.
Unfortunately the Huskies
didn 't enjoy the good fortune
that the Marauders did as
Millersville recovered all but
one of their own fumbles while
the Huskies lost two.
H uskiesvs. Wolves
Tliis weekend the Huskies
host the Wolves of Cheyney
State and the BSC defense will
have its hands full. Cheyney
boasts one of the finest running
games in the conference and
this should give the defense
some trouble.
Offensively, the Huskies have
to put together a sustained
punch. The team had a great
deal of trouble moving the ball
on the Marauders who have one
of the toughest defenses in the
conference. The running game
should find the going somewhat
easier against the Wolves.
Last year , the team came out
flat for the Cheyney game agter
a heartbreaking
loss to
Millersville. This year should
see a different turn of events in
front of the hometown fans . If
the Huskies can shock the
Wolves early and hold down the
Cheyney offense, they have a
shot at the upset. But to stop the
Wolves, they have to shut off
their running game which could
prov e to be one of the hardest
chores they have had and they
will have to avoid making the
costly turnovers that have been
happening so frequently in the
past weeks.
Women 's intramura ls

In the BSC women's world of
intramural sports , foot ball is
still being played to determine
the Powder-puff Football
champs. Eight teams rema in in
this competition ; out of the
eight competing teams four
have gone undefeated up to this
point.
Badminton was played as a
doub les game in a single
el imination tournament.
Seventeen teams entered the
competition; a total of thirt yfour players . In order to be
certi f ied winner of a game a
couple had to successfully win
the best out of three matches
over their opponent.
The team of Storrs-Sa gan
defeated Godber -Siemasko ,
Schllllng-Schimmel defeated
„ Hunt-M yers , and the StorrsSagan pair defea ted the
Rotondora-LeStranza couple.
The Badminton championship consisted ' i Storrs/C hillingSagan against
Schlmmel . In the end of the
tournament Storrs-Sa gan were
declared the badminton
champs for the women of BSC,

Six teams joined this league
up to this date . As yet only the

Many of the people on this

been knockin g the football team
for one prett y good reason:
they don't win many games.
(This is takin g into consideration last years record , 17-1.) Most of the people ask
whether or not the team won ,
because they don't bother to
even go to the home games.
Then they inquire about the
score and usually lau gh ,
especially when the team gets
slammed.
There is quite a list of complaints by people rangin g from
BUI Sipler to the players
themse lves why a lack of
" cohesive playing" is at hand.
From the people outside the
realm of football , all I hear is
" so and so stink s" or " whatsisname is crumm y." (People
are entitled to their own

This may be true , but a good

the game and be able to shut off
any outside distractions ,
particularly the fans. If he
can 't , then ma ybe we should
request that no fans attend !
Amidst all this trash , I feel
there are three abilit ies that th e

your basic "I don 't care " attitudes ; they are there , I know
for a f act , and it' s infectious.
Once a player slacks off ,
another thinks , "If he can , why
can 't I ?" then so on. This leads
to dedication . If there was
ENOUGH dedication , because
there is some, there wouldn 't be
bad attitudes which cause
slack ing off and consequently
mistakes occurring. Leadership ability is a virtue which
someone either has or has not
and it seems that this is a case
of has (have) not. Leadership
instills faith and pride in the

AttentionMovie Buffs
Capitol Theatre is testing a
new idea that was suggested by
the Academic and Counseling
Commission on campus.
The Commission, headed by
John Walker, had a meeting
discussing the social needs of
the college student, and conclude that movies are one of the
main forms of entertainment. Consequently, a
student representive,
Igric
Yamoah , spoke to the
managers of both the Capitol
and Columbia Theatres. He
suggested that by giving
college students a cut rate,
there would be a larger attendance. Capitol Theatre
responded favorably by having
Dollar Night every Wednesday
now through December.
If student attendance is high,
the Capitol Theatre will continue to charge the kiddie rate
to aU students by a show of I.D.
cards. If after December, attendance is still low, the rate
will be discontinued.
As of yet, Columbia Theatre
has not responded either way.
Once things get rolling,
however, and if the Capitol
T h e a t r e is successful ,
Columbia Theatre will
probably j oin the bandwagon.
Take advantage of this
special offer now!

R a dio station gets
budget; bea utifica tion
p lans g o into aff ect
by Diane Abruzzese
Radio station gets constitution and budget approved ,
CGA invests money for campus
beautification , and the yearbook receives needed funds as a
result of the CGA meetin g held
Monday night at 7:00 p.m. in
the Multipurpose Room of Kehr
Union.
A budget of $6,125 was
allocated to radio station SSC.
Money will be used for more
equipment such as a remote
unit, micro ph ones , recor ds ,
tape players, a spot master ,
magazine subscriptions , tape
rentals and other expenses such
as travel costs. Accordin g to
Mr. William Acierno , station
advisor , this equipment is
needed to catch up with other
college stations and to be on a
par with them. The proposed
constitution was approved
unanimousl y by CGA.
CGA also approved $2,300 for
blueprints to complete campus
beautification
plans.
Discussion showed that CGA
considers this money an investment which will attract
new students and therefore is
an asset to this college and to
CGA . Plans for improvements
include fountains , basketball
and volleyball courts , and a
park behind Columbia with
picnic tables and barbecue pits.
The blueprints are available in
Carver for anyone wishing to
view them.
Barb Fancy and the yearbook
staff received $7,034 in order to
print this year 's edition, after
many arguments and muc h
discussion . Members of the
yearbook staff indicated their
feelings that "the yearbook is
j ust as impor t ant to stu dents as
founta ins and t rees" (campus
beautification ) . Several
stu dents oppose d this v iew ,
challen ging that the money
could be better spent for more
act ivit ies to attract stud ents
and int rease soc ial act iv ities.
Miss Fahey *s answer was that
the yearbook is " someth ing

tangible for your money ". She
point ed out that students spend
$60 on the Communit y Activities fee and have nothin g to
show for it when they leave.
After debate , CGA approved
the budget.
Other allocations were:
Student Bank received $660 to
purchase a . Remmington
duplicating machine for the
office of Student Activities. A
full-time Secretary Bookkeeper •
of Community Activities was
hired. CGA allocated $6,562 for
this purpose.
CGA gave $350 to CEC to help
defray the cost of sending ^
delegates to a convention in
Pittsburgh where they will
display the artwork of local
exceptional children .
One hundred and twenty-five
dollars was allocated to pay for
the remainder of the T-shirts
given out at voter registration.
APSCUF was unable to foot the
bill and was going to take
contributions from the faculty.
CGA felt that since students
registered and received the
shirts , student government
should help with this cost.
in order to improve activities
programs and BME concerts ,
Ann McCoy is being sent to the
National Entertainment
Conference in the CatskiUs.
Many schools attend the NEC
meetings and blockbook
(several sch ool s bid
for the
same group) big name groups.
_ One hundred nine dollars was
. allocatedtor expenses. Michael
S o w a s h , Games Room
M anager, will also attend to
obtain inf orma tion on outdoor
activi ties that will aid ' in
developing the rental of such
equipment.
CGA vote d to rej ect a
pro posal to purchase an ad in
the winter sports program put
out by Sigma Iota Omega.
Members felt that by support ing such a f und raising
activity they might obligate
themselves to all other fund
raisers.

expenses.
Students at the 14 state owned
colleges and univers ities should
pay nearly $200 more tuition
beginning next year, a panel of
businessmen says.
In a report to be given to Gov.
Shapp this week, the team says
students should begin paying by
the credit hour instead of by the
semester.
The char ge should be $33 per
credit hour for Penna. residents
and $60 per hour for out-of-state
students.
Such a change would mean a
990
$ tuition for the standard 30
hours per year. Penna. students
now pay $800 per year , $50 more
than last year 's fee.
The team also called for $60 a
year incre ases in dormitory
charges and hikesin other fees
to helpsoMfges meet operating
Shapp can unilaterall y take
action on 86% of the
suggestions. The legislature
must approve the remainder ,
including the revision of the
tuition structure.
"This report extends the
work begun by the Governor 's
Review - 1972, which alread y
has produced ann ual savin gs of
about $164 million", Shap p said
in a statement.
Of the 885 recommendatio ns
made in 1972, Shapp has implemented 404 or 46%. The
legislature has acted on 20 or 99
recommendation s.
A spokesman for Shapp said
22% of the 1972 recommendations were either unfeasible or ran into stro ng
<
objections.

Student Government. C.G.A. Who really knows or cares about it
anyway? If you know nothing about it, I'll tell you ; basically C.G.A. is
a bank. Every other Monday night money concerns are brought
before the council which are either accepted or rejected. (And the
for it . . .But this is just a side issue.(
O.K. Before C.G.A. jumps on me, I want to have it know that
certainly I realize that money allocati ons to students should be a part
of our government's concerns. "A part" is the key phrase and I will go
so far as to say it should be a small part.
Why is it that a viable tool like student governmnet takes a narrow
view of what it can do? Why does it limit itself?
The only answer I can come up with is that cliche: "It's always been
this way." And I think this reason is probably accura te.
Why doesn't C.G.A. take a stand on campus issues? All these
threats of tuition increases, of the town ripping students off , and other
student problems could be quenched if the ,power of the students was
there.
As a parallel, notice how much the politicians now care about the
Icollege simply because so many of you registered to vote. Maybe
they'll think twice before putting student concerns (like town taxes )
This example shows that with
organization there are results.
Tell me how a tuition increase could arbitrarily be placed on
students if our representative government (C.G.A) banned students
together- against it? Tell roe how the landlords downtown could rip
your money off it these landlords know they couldn 't get away with it?
But as it stands now, where can one single student turn for help?

Academic advisement is one
of the most important services
rendered to students . But , w h en
that so-called aid changes to the
formality of signing a proscheduling paper , it's time to
make some changes.
I have been invited to attend a
meeting with Drs.'McCormick ,
Pickett , Griffts and Lysiak and
Mr. Walker to discuss problems
in the academic advisement
system , and to discuss possible
solutions and changes.
I n askin g di ff erent people's
ideas about what they thin k
abou t the adv isemen t here , I got
some pretty disheartening answers . Responses ra nged from
" it could be be tt er " to " no

One
sligh t ly disillus ioned English
ma j or commen t ed: "F or all
my advisor knows I could be a

You have to admi t that this is
a sad state of affairs .
St uden t s need to know what
kind and how many course they
need t o take , and It seems to mo
that they simply are 'nt getting

motivation? More likely, students go to classes in order to
absorb anything they might be
tested for or to fulfill the
attendance records
How do all of these factors
influence my attitude toward
Since I'm not
the class?
"getting anything" out of this
course and I'm not earning
anything by being there, why
should I feel obliged to attend
every week? Well, I don't feel
obligated ; I feel pleased to be
having the opportunity to learn
exactly what I want tp learn and
to enjoy the process".
.There aren't enough class
hours involved with this course
for me to determine whether or
not I'd remain faithful to the
non-credit learning situation.
There is a possibility that I
would become as apathetic
towards this class as some of
the others I have been enrolled
tn.
But in a non-credit course, the
choosing is yours all around :
you are not required to enroll,
you are not required to attend,
participate, record or "learn."
And you are not required to
enjoy the experience either - I
just happen to find that I do
enjoy it because it is an exciting
situation radically differenct
from the traditional tedium of
the day-to-day classroom .

students in the class. The vast
majority of the people in the
course are over 30 or 40. years
old. And believe it or not, the
older folks have a distinct
advantafe in a course like this :
they are there to learn. They
don 't have any preconceived
notions of earning something or
memorizing facts and figures.
No one else in the class takes
notes ; I feel odd dragging open
my notebook at the beginning of
each evening 's lesson. Why ?
Because like most students,
college classes have trained me
to channel what I hear directly
onto paper , by-passing any
thought processes . This talent
enables students to think at a
later time about what has been
said , in order to memorize it for
future reference. The majority
of the people in this non-credit
course are benefiting from
thinking during the class and
benefiting just from being
there.
Another odd thing for a
college-trained student in a
class of this nature is attendance. The class meets for only
two hours a week for five weeks,
but the only motivations for
class participation is personal.
What makes the average college student attend his classes
fairly regularly?

How of ten do you find yourself
wishing that you could just
enjoy a class without having to
worry about being evaluated for
attendance, performance and
learning skills?
Taking a course with the
pass-fail option caomes close to
attaining this dream, but nothing can compare with the
experience of enrolling yourself
in a non-credit course. ,
Non-credit: what this means
to most students is that you pay
something for nothing; no
credits, no quality points , no
fulfillment of requirements . So
why take a non-credit course?
I don 't know , but I am
currenlty trying to find out just
wht I am enrolled in a
non-credit course called the
"American REvolutionary Spirit ." The class is at "midterm " now , and I' m starting to
compare it to the required and
regulated college courses that
we 're all used to.
I find that the course is more
like a club than a class. The '
only prerequisite is the $17.76
"initiation fee" and an interest"
in learning about the American
REvolution . Like any club, .

out that this is a particulat
problem when your advisor is

Ano t her ma i n area of concern
is the advisem ent that freshm en

best sugges tion I uncover ed was
t ha t each de par t men t se t up a
panel of bo t h st uden t s and
faculty members to discuss
d if f eren t cour ses, their requiremen t s, work Involved , and the
ultimate goals of the course.
One over-b urdened fresh maa
sugges t ed a course descri pt ion
be included in t he Mas t er Class

partic ularly good idea since
course descri ptions vary from

Another change in this same

into categories such as reading,

One suggestion which I
thought quite perceptive and
feasible was to have only those

So, ever yone real izes tha i

Dear Editor
To Name Withheld,
You are obviously a closedminded outsider of the Greek
System. To say that Greek
fraternities seem to consist of a
group of sadists who enjoy
calling meetings in the middle
of the night when no emergency
exists or that pledgesare put
through some of the most
ridiculous psychological torture outside of Auschwitz very
nicely proves my first point. A
closed-minded individual only
sees what he wants to see,
which is precisely what you did
in your letter.
Brotherhood is an undefinable concept to me, but I
can truly say that my college
life would be severely lacking
without it. Each fraternity
consists of a group of men who
are bonded by this brotherhood.
It is a irreplacible kind of close
friendship th a t cannot
adequately be expressed
verbally but is deeply felt by
each and every brother on this
campus, regardless of his
fraternity. The f act that youare
not a pledge, nor will be under
the present set-up can only be a
plus to the Greek System. The
really worthwhile things In life
are not given to us, but earned.
Three or four or five weeks of
pledging is nothing compared
to al| you get back for it once
you become a brother.
Pledging is
prima rily a time to get to know
the brothers and their fraternity, although it entails much
more. I can understand that
some of the activities durin g
pledging seem pointless to you,
and believe it or not they do to
me, too. The fact of the matter
is that the purposeful activites
outweigh the pointless activites
ten fold which is something
which you could not possibly
see from your chosen position .

Fraternities were a tremendous help to this community
during the flood, contribute
constantl y to charitable
organizations, paint day care
centers , and do many other
thin gs to help out your so-called
"real world. "
I don't particularly enjoy
being called an 'inorganic twit'
althou gh you have a right to
your opinion. As far as contributin g to the frustrations and
insecurity already crowding
the busy students lives, this
may or may not be the case
during the short pledge period.
Once you become a brother ,
however , there is a whole
brotherhood who would do most
anything to help you to make
your busy life much easier.
This, I am sure , you will have
difficulty understanding as a

Todd Fay, VicePresident ,
Interfraternity Council
Dear Editor :'
To "Name Withheld"
Wh at are Greek frater n itie s?
What are Greek sororities? The
last issue of the Campus Voice
carried your poor answers to
these questions. First of all, no
one has the right to put down all
organizations by mere generalization taken from one exanvpl
Secondly, not all organizations
are Greek. BSC has sevearl
non-Greek fraternities and sororities and their pledging involves the same basic principles.
The goal of college is to
prepare you for the real world ,
I'll agree. Let me tell you how
it' s done. There are continuing
service proj ects such a sponsoring deprived children , along
with more short term projects.
I have personally seen all the
fraternities
and
sororities
involved w ith such t h in gs as
Halloweening for UNICEF ,
36-hour bathtub marathon for
Multiple Sclerosis , working at
Bloodmobiles , helping a wellknown na tio nal organiza ti on
ra ise money f or a play ground
f or children , donating their time
and their belongings to safety
dur i ng t he flood , t o name a few.
As far a pledging is concerned ,
, yes, there are some odd things
done but it is most certainly
NOT "psychological t or t ure."
Thou gh you are so uneduca t ed
to think that there are no rules
governing pledging activities ,
y ou are q ui t e wrong. There is
no wa y t ha t a person can be
"forced" to do something. If
you have overhear d any whispers of terri ble things behind
closed doors , I say you were
eavesdroppi ng at the wrong
moment .
Sorori t ies and fratern i t ies
have rules in regards t o
pledging.
There is no one
person that has such absolute
power as t o control the lives of a
grou p of people, THINK : when
is the last time you 've seen a
grou p of people up in the middle
of the night (ov the soul purpose
of harassin g someone else?
You say the idea 1b to prevent a
pledge from studying ; well,
little known to you but a
person 's cum is a major
consideration in a sororit y or
fraternity . Most organizations
require at least a 2.0 for
someone to be an active
member, some require higher.
Do you really thi nk th at th e idea
is to lower someone's cum?
What good would it do? Let's
be serious !
Looking at the pledges of this
semester, none seem to be
suffering from any traumatic
expierences. This is probably
because they knew what pledgin g ent ailed and yet , of their
own free will, committed themselves. What right do you have
to criticize their decisions and
the decisions of the brothers and
sisters that make the same
decision previously?
Why did you lump everybody
together?
Fraternities and
sororities are made up of
individuals and each in itself is
individual . So, dear "Name
Withh eld ," all I have to say to
you is: '/ Why don 't you learn
the rules before you try to play
the game? "
ValerieBernoeky
Dear Editor :
To "Name Withheld":
In reference to your lettter
about Greek Fraternities on our
campus : I can't figure out if
you were a pledge who quit, or
just someone having a neatness
\ attack, looking up impressive
words in the dictionary while
making , a f u tile attempt to
attack the Greek System.
I
If you have never been a
pledg e, you would not know
about the pledging activities
that do have meaning once you
are in. As for you Power
Sructure, it may be true that the
Greeks run the CGA, but who
elects them ? There are only
700-800 Greeks on our campus ;
hardly a power grip in a school
of 5,000. Besides, the CGA does
an excellent job. The GReeks
are first leaders inside their
fraternities, and then they
become experienced and capable leaders outside.
We are no t begging for people
to join our fraternities , so if you
do not like what you see or you
don 't like what is being done ,
don 't pledge . It is not you 3-4
weeks t ha t t hese pledges give
up. It' s t heir choice , not yours ,
and t hey know wha t it en t ails
and they accept i t. Very rarel y
does a pledge less tha t appreciate what he has been through.
Who are you to judge our way of
doing t hings ? There are plenty 0
ot her organ iza t ions and clubs
for you to join if the hassl e of
pledging disgust s you.
In t he real worl d , you are
going to have face situations
that require self-control , patience and persistance. These
are vir tues that pledging brings
out to the fullest. There is no
other way that a prospect ive
broth er could learn to appreci ate his pledge brothers , and to
prepare him for the brotherhood he is at tempting to become
part of. There IS more to
fraternities than parties.
As far as your elderly people

would have found that fraternities and sororities have service
projects that are useful to the

Alpha visited hospitals and

These and many other projects by other fraternities and
sororities are of benefit to the
whole community. I cannot see,
except through ignorance , how
you could have suggested that
we don't contribute.
I hope this letter has awakened you and other people who
are against fraternities and
sororities that we do contribute
to the community. I also hope
these points I have presented
will answer your questions
about pledging, power structures, leadership ability, and

Voice, I have reached the
conclusion that he has the
potential to follow in the
tradition of many American
sports writers in that he doesn't
know what the hell he is talking
about. Sipler is commenting in
an area in which he is not really
qualified to comment, and I feel
he has no right to do so.
It seems to be a popular
pastime on this campus to
criticize our football team, a
practice which is unfair to them
and merely reflects the ignorance of the "critic ." I for one
am damn sick and tires of
hearing these guys, who work ,
sweat and bleed while others
are enjoying summer vacations
at the shore, insulted and
criticized. If the critics think
they can do a better job, why
don 't they try and we .aill see
how well they do.
TITe football team deserves
our support and the support of
the CGA as much as any other
sport in the school.

Dear Councilpersons:
The p u r p o s e of t h i s
correspondence is to express a
deep sense of gratitude for your
assistance during the recent
student voter registration drive
held in the Kehr Union. As
recorded by the local
newspaper the drive was such a
success that the local Board of
Voter Registration extended
the registration period from
Wednesday to Thursday and
Friday October 2 and 3. I wish
to extend a "vote" of appreciation for your assistance
in the great success of this
student voter registration. It
would not have been as successful as it was without your
assistance. The CGA, APSCUF,
faculty and students themselves are also to be
congratulated for their efforts.
Without this united support the
drive would not have been as
successful as it was. Please
keep in mind that voter
registration is only half the
battle. It is imperative that
every student who registered
during this registration votes
on November 4. It is only
through voting that we can
demonstrate the political involvement of our stu dent
population here at Bloomsburg
State College. I know we can
count on your support in getting
out t h e stu dent vote on
Tuesday, November 4, 1975.

committee of APSCUF to find
ways BSC could .cut down on
energy costs. Just from looking
around the campus and talking
to maintainence personnel, Mr.
Fried noted that the dorms
were overheated while windows
were open, an obvious waste.
He found that buildings haven't
been inspected for adequate
insulation and that there have
been significant steam leaks for
the past two years. A full
analysis is being done by Mr.
Fried, to be turnedover to SEA
when completed. He came up
with a simple rough draft of an
energy'saving program that the
school could implement with
little capital investment:
1. Building inspection.
2. More efficinet lighting.
3. Hot waste water from the
cafeteria used for heating.
4. Trash should be burned for
turbine or heat generation.
5. Phase out all-electric
power needs by installation of
solar heating units and wind
power to generate electric
cower.
6. Lowering of thermostats hi
buildings, ex. 60 degrees at
nigh- and 68 during the day.
7. Reduce hot water consumption and heat water no
more than 120 degrees.
With these steps carefully,
taken and cooperation by all,
the school utility bin would be
reduced * by 10 percent, a
significant amount especially
when the savings could be
about $68,000.

Students for Environmental
Action (SEA ) is a fouryear eld
CGrA appointed committee that
operates outside of CGA. The
purpose of SEA is to get the
campus educated about and
involved in environmental
issues by different means;
speakers, displays, presentations and the media. SEA
would like to make college
students aware of school
related issues. In particular,
energy conservation, a topic
that needs minimal explanation.
On Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, SEA had a solar
energy display in front of the
Union. The purpose was to show
that energy, (heated water ) ,
could betaken directly from the
sun. The display also had
petition's for students to sign in

Controversial. That one
w o r d s u m s up t h e
gynecological self-help lecture
given by Lolly and Jeanne
Hirsch last Wednesday in the
Union.
This campus has never had
the "exposure" to women's
health and its facets that it had
from Lolly and Jeanne. To start
things off , an announcement by
Dr. Blair Ann Revack was
ma de concern in g t he oral
contracept ive, modi-corn. It
has been discovered that this
pill is ineffective because of its
low estrogen content. Women
on the modi-corn pill are asked
to finish their cycle, using
additional contraceptive
devices during intercourse,
After this cycle, they are encouraged to contact t h eir

nin 't
heard nothin' yet! Lolly and
Jeanne moved on to more m in d
rattling information and
presentations than most women
run into during a lifetime.
Although bearing no medical
degree or academic tra in i ng,
the Hirsches decided to spread
their knowledge of self-health
f rom their experiences at t he
1971 N O W ( N a t i o n a l
Organ ization for Women)
convention on self-health and
t h ei r p ersona l encounter
¦
groups.
. '
Slides of the history of selfhealth were shown first. Carol
Downer, a leader and organizer
of the movement, and Lorraine
Rothman , a biologist who
developed the menstrual extraction technique , were
shown , along with their cervixes, Downer was arrested for
practicing medicine without a i,
license when it was discovered
that she had been applying
yogurt to women 's cervixes
when they complained of
vaginal itch. Can you imagine
being busted and getting
asked,"Where's the yogurt? "
Cervix after cervix was
shown to the audience. Pictures
of the cervixes were taken with
the help of a plastic speculum
or a "magic gadget" as Lolly
and Jeanne call it to open the
vagina. The "magic gadget" , a
mirror , and a light are all you
need to examine yourself. By
using the speculum , which is
exactly what a physician uses
(only this one is plastic, not
metal) , the cervix is exposed
for examination. One can
ueieci pregnancy, an oncoming
menstrual
p er i o d , and
sometimes cancer, although
cancer can not always be
detected by eyesight. The os,
which is the opening of the
cerv i x , was the leading
character of the slides.
Lolly and Jeanne took a
rat her ra dical view on the
medical profession of this
country. They argue that we
"are not legally free to decide
where or when we want to give
birth, " "t he highest amount of
unneccesary surgery takes
place in gynecology," " vitam in
C can Induce a period," and
"you can be and should be the
first on your block to know if
you are pregnant. " Valid
statements? It's up to you to
decide.
To implant their message on
your mind , Lolly and Je anne
mount a table , strip from the
waist down , insert their
speculums, and displ ay their
cervixes to the audience. Most
women of the audience left
,a^er )( ^dr i, ^jnds 1; h0; been
super-saturated by cervixes.
However, the Hirsches ( after
re-assembling themselves)
talked to the remainder of the
group about menstrual extraction . This technique can be
used to "end a five-day period
in five minutes" or as an early
abortion technique. The
materials used are two pieces
of candula (plastic tubing), a
jar to catch the fluids, a 50 cc
syringe to draw out the fluid ,
and a device for the syringe to
keep air out. One piece of
candula is slipped in the os and
the other end attached to the jar
and the syringe. Thus far, no
harmful effects of this method
are known an d it is not
out l awe d as an a b ort i on
technique.
It takes a lot of intestinal
f ort itude to lecture on a topi c
not medically approved and
bare yourself to a room full of
strangers. Their statements
are medically, scientifically,
philosophically, and socially
controversial. Lolly and Jeanne
Hirsch lecture on health not
medicine. Their style is, to say
the least , unique. Are you
willing to or can you believe in
them and their methods? It's up
to you.

Also, SEA held a meeting a
week ago entitled "Energy &
Retrenchment." The turnout
was quite poor, reflecting the
lack of interest of both the
students and faculty. The gist of
the meeting dealt with the
relation of the two topics;
saving money on school energy
and trying to transfer the
savings over to the salary
section of allocations for
professors so retrenchment
would decrease. The only
problem is transferring the
savings; one must go through

Exper ience weekend hikes,
rock climbin g seminars
by EdHauck
The QUEST program is now
in full gear with weekend experiences set up for different
interests in the outdoors. There
have been day and weekend
hikes , both on foot and bike that
are very successful.l
The October general meeting
which was held last Tuesday
night , had a good turnout and
upcoming events were
discussed. The special
presentation for the meeting
was on rock climbing. Bill
Wise, a local sports shop
pro pr ietor , was on hand to give
a full and interestin g talk on the
"ar t" of rock climbing. He
described
it as an " art "
because ''one h as to be creat ive
when climbing, always thinking
of the different possibilities to
scale the rock ."
Mr. Wise stressed two main
points throughout

by Gordy Schultz
It has a certa in mystique,
almost a personality of Its own.
It' s different than any place on
campus and it houses the finest
and most varied collection of
loyal guys. It is the 7th floor of
Elwell Hall or, as it is better
known , "The Penthou se."
Rumors circulate throu ghout
the building and people wonder ,
"What' s going on up there?" I
too heard the rumors so I
decided to take my chances and
go up there to investigate. The
first thing that I noticed was the
din of stereo music coming
from several rooms . I was to
find out later tha t stereos are
very important in "The Pen-
accomodat ions to an y person
because of ra ce, color , religion ,
sex , ancestr y, or na ti onal
origin , or to a bli nd person
because of the use of a guide
dog."
This law is excepted by
people who rent living ar eas in
their own home or an ad j oin ing
duplex , which means people
who rent in the ir own home
may discriminate in any way
the y like.
There is no clause to protect
the students in any aspect of
housing. A more detaile d explanation of these laws can be
obtained in the Housing office
located in the Ben Fr anklin
Building.
There are very few things you
can do about th is problem You
can wait until the off-camp us
housing director y comes out or
just keep on tryi ng pot luck in
the Morn ing Press advertisements. You may also

I asked several of the
inhabitants if they thought that
there were any advantages in
living so high up. I was surprised when they mentioned
may things includein g the
"great view", better TV
reception and that they see the
rain before anyone else. The
fact that there is no floor above
or a West wing, means that they
can play their music louder
without worryin g about
bothering anyone. Because of
only one wing, RA Steve Wood
says that ever yone knows each
other , there is solidarity and a
"better identity " and that the
group is "more closely knit"
than other Erwellians probably
are. Because of working with a
small group, RA s Wood and^
Jack Roehrig can keep better
contro l an d know when there is
a stranger on the floor.
To prevent you from th ink ing
that a Utopia exists here , there
are a certa in amount of
disadvantages also. When the
elevators are out of order , it
means a long walk up seven
flights. This is actually an
advanta ge, for the guys like to
th ink that they are in better
shape than anyone else. Even
cross-countr y star runner ,
Steve Eachus (who runs 17
miles daily ) is winded after
that climb. Besides that , the
Penthouse dwellers are succeptible to nosebleeds in the
th in air , an d the y can 't boil
water. Also, fire drills are a
problem and windows can 't be
opened for clouds will roll in
dur ing the morning.
There is a disagr eement
between the RA and others on
their noise situation. One
person said that one cannot get
to sleep until 2 a.m., wh ile Steve
Wood claims that it is quiet
compared to other wings that
he has been in. Some say that it
gets rowdy " about ever y
night ," while others say on
Saturday night only. Also,
during the recent Hu rricane
Blolse, water leaked through
the roof and onto the floor.
The guys of the floor are an
interesting cast of characters.
If an anthrop ologist were to
study this society, he might
conclude that they wors hipped
stereos and that the elevator
was some kind of creat ure that
was ornery at times and broke
down. They seem to take great
pride in their sound systems
and 8-tracks and in fact have
"stereo wars" to see who is the
loudest. They are a unique
bunch of stud ents ; they are
friendly with each other , which
lessens'some problems but also
increases the amount of pranks
pulled on themselves . The
upperclassmen don't ignore the
freshmen and while freshmen
tend to be somewhat shy and
withdrawn , the twelve that are
on the wing are outgoing and
productive , as frosh president
Bruce DeHaven proves. One
freshman described the guys
as, " a lot of pushers ", meaning
that they are doers instead of
watchers.
The Penthouse is proud of the
"celebrities " that live there.
There are football players ,
baseball players , star wrestlers
and runners. Just about every
fraternity is represented , and a
look at names shows a wide
variety of nationalities , too.
Even with all these different
groups, there is said to be no
cliques that have formed.
One of the "celebs" is Bill
Dennis, who is starting his third
year of Penthouse living. He
had me roaring with laughter
with observations such as the
advantage that; it is easy to
watch the buildings sway in the
wind and that pigeons used to
perch oh their windowsills until
they were eliminat ed by
"society " . Besides his comic
talents , Bill is also a fine
juggl er who bounces balls off
walls and even eats an apple
while performing. Footballer
Barry Staton dazzled me with
his card tricks , while down the
hall, one man intently did his
Yoga exerc izes.
Th ere are a num ber of craz y
events that ta k e place on the
top floor. There are guitar
concerts , a weekly golf tournamen t, an d a "Beach Boys"
concert every Thursday. There
are also battles with Siamese
Fighting fish, one of whom died
and was buried in the 4th stall ,
where by agreement , all the
graffiti is written . The panty
raid of Oct . 5, was started by
some Pentho use members . The
golf tourney is called , "The
Sunday After Dinner Open "
and is held weekly at 5:30. It is
open only to the seventh floor ,
and each entr ant pays a 10 cent
«ntr y fee, which compr ises the
w inner 's award on $1.20. The
course has nine holls, including
2 bunkers (garbag e cans), and
two doglegs. Tom Fulton is the
defending champ (12 strok es)
and the tourney 's pres ident (he
owns the ball).
Ever yone I asked gave me an
emphatic "No " when asked if
they would move to a lower
floor if they could. They call It a
"good floor " and guys actually
return , for second or third
years . They consider themselves gentlemen and want to
keep a certai n classiness about
the place . BUI Dennis described
it as "calm and • peaceful" ,
compared with the wlldness of
his two previous years . One
resident summed up the
Penthouse experience , "It' s a
different worl d up here , ''

scanning the water 's sur fa ce
with binoculars. After two
hours of searching the area , we
thought it best to return. The
craft pitched shar ply backward
as we starte d t o ascend . We
were suddenly buffeted by air
turbulance. It was like riding a
falling elevator to the bottom of
a sk yscra per. We dropped at a
rate of fifty feet per second.
Clark fell against the console,
bruising his head. Fortu nately I
manage d to brace myself
aga inst the cockpit wall during
the wild turbul ance, althou gh
the wheel bounced from my
hands . The plan e plunged down
towar ds th e water , a rush ing
sound and a great whine accompanying our wild descent. I
grabbed the wheel and jerked it
back which was fruitless, as a
glance at the alt imeter tol d me
th at we could never recover in
time to avoid impact with the
water.
Our deaths seemed imminent , and the surge of
adrenalin which courses
through a man 's veins when the
on-rush of death is sensed filled
me with frantic desper ation . In
the split-second before impact ,
I closed my eyes and resigned
my fate to the inevitable.
Imagine my amazement , when
noting no impact I opened my
eyes to find that we were in
total blacknes s and apparently
plunging upward and upside
down !
Evans hit the cabin . and instrument lights. Something was
grossly wrong, for according to
the instruments we were
properly oriented and still
falling downward ! I eased the
wheel forward and slowly
leveled-off our flight. Then I
righted the plane even though
the horizon control indicated
that we were upside down.., .. .
In essence all our instrumentation was acting in a
negative manner. Upon
righting the jet we started to
descend, in order t o see w here
we were. Our cautious approac h revealed t he presence of
black water which gleamed
beneath our landin g lights,
In an attempt to ascertain our
pos it ion I tr ied to get a bearing
using our radio. Th ere was
nothing but static on all
f re q uenc i es , h owever . I
glanced at my watc h, hoping to
verify that it was midaf ternoon. Iwas stunne d to fi nd
that it was running backwards.
Oddly enough it was not our
instruments w hi ch were at
fault. No indeed , they were
merel y reporting their inter pretation of our status. As
the dawn slowly began to break
through the clouds on the
hor izon , we real ized that we
were in a dimension totally
different from the one we knew.
A blazing, violet sun shone its
lrr idescent brilli ance on a sea
of murky black. As we soared
ahead , a vast continent loomed
before us, shrouded in dense
blue mists.
Scanning the cold grey land
mass , Clark and I were gripped
by a new fear— What was this
place ; and what strange fate
awaited us there ?

Karate and ju do
An express ion
of the self
by Louis Hunsinger
"Our pur pose is to make
karate a widely recognized
sport and to familiarize the
campus with it," stated George
Calisto, one of the two instructors in the Judo and
Karate club who possess a
black belt in Karate. The other
one is Ja y McHenry.
Geor ge is affiliated with the
A&G Tae Kwan Do club of
Staten Island , , N.Y. ' Jay is
associated with American
Okinawan Association . Both
are licensed to give out belts.
Among the other purposes of
the club cited by George and
Jay is to offer the experience of
learning the art of Karate and
to sharpen the skills of those
who have already learned.
The club will offer two
sessions, the personal defense
session is on Monda ys and
Wednesda ys at 1:00 p.m. in
Centennial Gym. The other
involves sport Karate. This
session is more physically
rigorous and individual skills
are developed , accor ding to
Calisto , who runs the session.
He added that this program
gives a complete overview of
Karate and it takes the best
aspects of both sport and
Kumite Karate , which is individual combat.
George emphasized that
Karate isn't all "chop-chop "
and violence. It' s one of the
most individual sports there is;
it gives the individual a chance
to express himself. At this time
there is no one interested in
Judo , so there is no Judo being
offered according to Jay
McHenry, the club' s other
black belt Karate instructor.
The club hopes to give a
Karate exhibition sometime at
a future date.
The club' s advisor is Roger
Sanders , who will hold the first
general meeting Oct. 30 at 8:00
p.m. in the Kehr Union coffeehouse. All interested persons
can come to the meeting or
come to any of the sessions
being run.
Migrant workers
20th Century America where ar e you?
Contributed by James John
StabinsH
A rather sickening dilemma
still exists in today 's society. It
is the life of migrant workers.
Most people don't realize that
only a few miles in most any
direction from Bloomsburg
esists almost a 19th century
rerun of slave camps , unsympathizing crew leaders ,
poor housing and recreation
facilities , and virtuall y no
medical care . These are only a
few of the conditions that exists
in the migrant worker camps
located at Millville and
Main Wile. (Both are only
minute s away from BSC. )
All of the migrant camps are
popul ated with either Blacks or
Puerto Ricans , and are located
away from everything. To get
to a migrant camp you practically need a map and a four
wheel drive jeep . This is a very

Another tragedy 'is that all of
Lowest price s in town
so claims J oe R uggiero
Barb Hag an
"Lowest prices in town!"
That' s what manager Joe
Ruggiero has to say about the
Union Snack Bar. Joe Ruggiero
is the Campus Voice employee
of the week.
Joe is the food service
director in the Kehr Union , and
he is an employee of ARA
Slater Food Service.
Mr. Ruggiero is a graduate of
Connecticut State College with
a degree in food management.
He is originall y from New
H aven , and is married and has
four children .
Joe has worked with ARA
since 1970 and this is his third
year at BSC. He recently came
from ARA Services in
Harrisburg where he was in
charge of three cafeterias in the
capitol complex. He returned to
Bloomsburg because he didn 't
like commut ing or being away
from his family. He really likes
being here at BSC, although it is
only on a temporary basis.
Since Mr. Ru ggiero has been
here he has done quite a few
. new things. All employees ,
including students , are dressed
in new uniforms. He has tried
experiments for faster food
services especially at lunch.
Organizing to affect change are these members of Students for
Environmental Action as they work to get petitions signed to prohibit
building energy parks , (photo by Palmer )
The Snack Bar serves about
1800 students a day. Students
now enter in the side entrance
and exit through the double
doors where there is a cash
registar. There have been
severa l promotions and contests but with only a fair
amount of participation . A new
addition to the Snack Bar in the
planning is a real old-fashioned
soda fountain area. It is expected to be com pleted In
January of 1976. ARA also
handles the concess ions at
f oot b all games and ot h er
events.
Joe feels he has a great staff ;
Betty , Marion , Fay, and
Martha mak e the Snack Bar
click during the day. Alice and
Mar ilyn run It at night. Some of
Joe 's employees have been
work ing at the BSC Snack Bar
between 12-14 years.
Joe RugRiero is the buyer ,
hirer , firer , and does all administrative duties of the
facility. Joe states that the
Snack Bar is always open for
criticism , comments , and
suggestions. I' m sure you can
all agree that Joe Ru ggiero is
indeed a terrific employee of
the week .

Stickwomen grab
byMary Pat O'Donnell
BSC's hockey team obtained
a victorious win over the stickwomen of Mansf ield. This was
their second triumph for the
season. The varisty score ended
up 6-0 and J.V. grabbed the win
in a score 6-1last week.
Last Thursday evening the
girls were challenged again by
another tough opposing team :
Susquehanna. BSC fell to S.U.,
losing by two points; 2-4. The
J.V. however regained BSC's
pride by taking the winner 's
circle in a score of 5-0. Both
games were played under tense
conditions with high competition throughout each game.
Coach Gardner mentioned
that the front lines worked well
together and that they worked
1
.
second win
aggressively in both games.
"Kathy Hotchkiss, Joan
Buchman , Sharon Goetel ,
Nancy Chapman , Cheryl
Krause, and Tracy Dimig
worked well together" she said
"To form an outstanding forward linefor the varsity team."
Also on the varsity side,
Louise Quinn, Bonnie Graham,
Connie Slusser, Donna Santa
Maria, Robin Miller, and Joan
Williams united to form a
strong defense line for the
Husky 's hockey team. Jane
Bowie supported the defense
line in doing as best she could to
hold back her opposing team at
the goal.
Along with the varisty line
the J .V.'s also have outstanding
forwards. It consists of Robin
Maurer, Heather Heatley,
Cindy Goss, Jeanne Humphreville, and Terry McHale.
The defense line Is made up of
outstanding players such as
Lynn Wilson, Jane Heimer,
Coleen Williams, and Cindy
Hammes.
Coach Gardner remarked
that "we have a young team."
"However," sh e noted, "the
girls work well together and
we're optimistic about the last
half of the season. We're
l oo ki ng f orwar d to our
associat ion tournament at
Susquehanna University."
At the present time the
varsity Husklettes have a
standing record of two wins an d
four losses. J.V. 's record is

One of the outside influences that could be affecting BSC athletic and
Physieal Education programs is the new Title Nine status that was put
on the books last year. According to Dr. Bautz , the Athletic Director at
BSC, this is only a slight possibility.
At BSC the Phys. Ed. classes are coeducational and have been for
years. A course can 't be listed for men only, which is a practice not
done here.
BSC athletes are restricted to the sexes in the non-contact areas of
swimming , basketball and tennis where there are separate teams for
men and women . Female participation in golf , track and field and
cross country is allowed because they are considered non-contact
sports. Contact sports such as football and wrestling are prohibitive by
nature.
While BSC is practicing a non-prohibitive behavior in non-contact
sports, according to Dr. Bautz, the college is trying to gain greater
awareness and attention for the existing women's sports on campus.
The college publicity department, through George Eget, the BSC's
sports information specialist, has been sending out more information
oh the BSC women's sports to the local media.
With this, the Athletic Department has been trying to strengthen the
existing programs. Before the college can expand its program, it has
to have more interest and desire among the women on campus plus
more coaches available.
A major difference between the state colleges, such as BSC, and the
major colleges that survive on the football programs for funding is
just that. Most of the major colleges get revenue from their major
sports to support their various athletic programs. Equal funding may
produce litigation from these schools as if they are forced to distribute
the funds for athletics equally and some of the programs may fold.
Unlike major colleges, BSC doesn 't rely on gate receipts to fund
athletic programs. The money for these programs comes from the
College Government, the C.G.A. The gate receipts in turn go back to
C.G.A. and not to the college as they do in most major schools.
Salary is a major difference between the maj or colleges and BSC. At
a major college such as Maryland , the football coach is under contract
only as a coach , with all the insecurity of being a coach. The coaches
for lesser teams are teachers and have the security of their teaching
salaries. The problem with this is that one of the teachers who coaches
a women's tennis team wants to be paid the same salary as the football
coach who only has Jiis salary for being a coach and doesn't have the
security the teacher has.
At Bloomsburg, all coaches are paid by their rank as teachers. In
addition , according to Dr. Bautz, all coaches get the same amount of
release time for being coach due to the current state contract. This is
an improvement over the last teachers contract which differentiated
between men and women coaches.
According to Dr. Bautz, BSC is in line with the intent of Title Nine
including budgets for individual sports. Dr. Bautz reviews the budgets
that the coaches submit and passes them on to CGA who has the final
say.
Super-Steve Wins:

Harriers fall to
Mil lersvill e
by Ed Hauc k
Last Saturday the BSC crosscountry team , in the Bucknell
I nvitat ional , scored a duel meet
against M i llersville State
College and lost 22-36.
Bloomsburg 's super-runner ,
Steve Eachus , won the race in a
25:53 time. Steve Improve d his
time 11 seconds from his
previou s running at Buckn ell.
Second , th ird and fourth places
were taken by Miller sville
runners Charle s Trayer , Dave
Hummel and BUI Strave ,
respectively. Fifth place went
to BSC's Rob Wlntereteen with
a 28:49 time , improving his
mark by almost two minutes on
the Bucknell course. Sixth and
seventh went to Millersville and
eighth went to Jett Brandt of
BSC. Freshm an Mark Bond
h
wrenc hed his back at the start
of the race , but was able to pull
through and get tenth place for
the Husk ies, (gutsy ) Bob
K antner , another freshm an ,
had a stro ng finish and was able
to get twelvth ,
BSC placed fourth overall in
the Invitationa l behind
Bucknell , Millersville and East
Stroudsb urg. Mr. Puhl feels
that the team has improved
markedly since the start and
except for injuries and illness,
he feels confident about the
meet against Mansfield on
Thursday . The Husky crosscountry record .is now 7-3 and a
win against Mansfie ld will
boost the morale of the team for
the state meet at East
Stroudsb urg on November 1.
Millersv ille
clobbers Hus kies
by BIH SIpler
The Huskies of BSG suffered
one of their worst defeats of the
season as they bowed to the
Marauders of Millersv ilie 55-0
last weekend. The loss, the
teams third in a row , dropped
their record to 1-4.
The Husky defense got the
team off to a strong start when
Lou Sannutti grabbed a
Marauder missle at Miller sville's 37 yard line. The
Husldes failed to move the
football , and after a BSC punt
Millersvilie 's Carmen Lex
coughed up another interception , this time by Dennis
Sell at the Marauder 17.
This BSC threat died when
Ken Zipko 's pass was intercepted as his intended
receiver slipped on the muddy
field. Millersvilie put together a
drive that reached the Husky 11
where the defense stiffened and
a field goal try went wide for
the Marauders.
The Huskies again gave up
the ball on their ensuing series
when the ball popped free from
Zipko and the Marauders
recovered at the BSC 43.
Millers yille turned this turnover into a score as they
marched the 43 yards needed
with Gordy Spiecher going over
from five yards out. The convers i on was go od , and
Millersville led 7-0 with just
over a minute remaining in the
first quarter .
After this, the game became
all Millersville as the
Marauders scored four more
times in the second quarter to
put the game away early . The
Husky offense never rea- Uy
threatene d for the rest of th e
game as t h e M arau d ers
marc hed to victory.
Turnovers again hurt the
Huskies this week as Millersville was able to capitalize on
the Husky miscues. The wet
field didn't help as runners
found it difficult to make their
cuts on the slippery surface and
also to hang onto the ball.
Unfortunately the Huskies
didn 't enjoy the good fortune
that the Marauders did as
Millersville recovered all but
one of their own fumbles while
the Huskies lost two.
H uskiesvs. Wolves
Tliis weekend the Huskies
host the Wolves of Cheyney
State and the BSC defense will
have its hands full. Cheyney
boasts one of the finest running
games in the conference and
this should give the defense
some trouble.
Offensively, the Huskies have
to put together a sustained
punch. The team had a great
deal of trouble moving the ball
on the Marauders who have one
of the toughest defenses in the
conference. The running game
should find the going somewhat
easier against the Wolves.
Last year , the team came out
flat for the Cheyney game agter
a heartbreaking
loss to
Millersville. This year should
see a different turn of events in
front of the hometown fans . If
the Huskies can shock the
Wolves early and hold down the
Cheyney offense, they have a
shot at the upset. But to stop the
Wolves, they have to shut off
their running game which could
prov e to be one of the hardest
chores they have had and they
will have to avoid making the
costly turnovers that have been
happening so frequently in the
past weeks.
Women 's intramura ls
by Mary Pat 0'Donnell
In the BSC women's world of
intramural sports , foot ball is
still being played to determine
the Powder-puff Football
champs. Eight teams rema in in
this competition ; out of the
eight competing teams four
have gone undefeated up to this
point.
Badminton was played as a
doub les game in a single
el imination tournament.
Seventeen teams entered the
competition; a total of thirt yfour players . In order to be
certi f ied winner of a game a
couple had to successfully win
the best out of three matches
over their opponent.
The team of Storrs-Sa gan
defeated Godber -Siemasko ,
Schllllng-Schimmel defeated
„ Hunt-M yers , and the StorrsSagan pair defea ted the
Rotondora-LeStranza couple.
The Badminton championship consisted ' i Storrs/C hillingSagan against
Schlmmel . In the end of the
tournament Storrs-Sa gan were
declared the badminton
champs for the women of BSC,
Tenequoit?
Another fun and exciting
sport played in the WRA
League which many students
have not played is, tenequoit.
'< i ¦ Vf tty. 'I f »: *WM 'I " ' ¦
¦
Tenequoit consists of n ine
players per team and is played
over a vollyyball net . A small
ru bber r ing is tossed un der hand
and over the net . One member
f rom the opposing team catc hes
t he r ing in one han d an d with in
three seconds must toss the
ring back over the net in the
same underhand method. This
tournament is played in the
Round Robin method; that is
each team pl ays ever y other
team entere d in the comoetltion.
Six teams joined this league
up to this date . As yet only the
team numbers are available.
Team One defea ted Team Six,
Team Two defeated Team
Five, and Team Three defeated
Team Four. At this point no
tenequoit champions have been
declared .
Miss Auten , Lou Ann
Stonensk i, Gina Scancella ,
Jane Dudzinskl , a number of
coordinators , and the rest of the
Women 's Jftecreatlon Committee should be highly commended for their involvement
in promoting women sports at
BSC. All participants should be
acknowled ged also for getting
out and involving themselves in
something as exciting and
enjoyable as the women's intram ura l sportsprogram. , -

Psyched up or psyched out?
am
byEd Hauck
Many of the people on this
campus (and off too! ) have
been knockin g the football team
for one prett y good reason:
they don't win many games.
(This is takin g into consideration last years record , 17-1.) Most of the people ask
whether or not the team won ,
because they don't bother to
even go to the home games.
Then they inquire about the
score and usually lau gh ,
especially when the team gets
slammed.
There is quite a list of complaints by people rangin g from
BUI Sipler to the players
themse lves why a lack of
" cohesive playing" is at hand.
From the people outside the
realm of football , all I hear is
" so and so stink s" or " whatsisname is crumm y." (People
are entitled to their own
opinion .) No one on the team is
*». uinmy ; every person is
physically capable in their
position ; some are inexperienced and make constant
mistakes that aren 't corrected.
That' s not the whole oi it
though ; there are many starters , who are now injured ,' a few
good people have quit for one
r eason or an oth er , th ere are
some who are ineligible and

can 't play due to NCAA rulin g,
and still quite a few athletes on
this campus who have the
ability, but also have their
pe rsona l reason s f or n ot
playing.
Besides players being the
goat , some people and players
turn to the coachin g as a reason
for bad play. I can only go by
what players say to me, but I' m
not going to bad mouth any
coach because I'm in no mood
for a libel case.
ovuiv ui me piayers , ai icas i
one in particular , feel that the
f ans don 't help the morale of
the team when th ey start
cheering for the opposing team .
This may be true , but a good
player should keep his mind on
the game and be able to shut off
any outside distractions ,
particularly the fans. If he
can 't , then ma ybe we should
request that no fans attend !
Amidst all this trash , I feel
there are three abilit ies that th e
team seems to lack. They are :
Leadership, Dedication , and
Attitude . They gohand-in-handIn- hand; they all relate. Many
of the att itudes , that I know of,
on the team var y . Th ere are
players who really work at
their posit ion to be good at it ,
because they are the individuals on the team who want
to win , but it takes 22 people to
make it work. Then there are
your basic "I don 't care " attitudes ; they are there , I know
for a f act , and it' s infectious.
Once a player slacks off ,
another thinks , "If he can , why
can 't I ?" then so on. This leads
to dedication . If there was
ENOUGH dedication , because
there is some, there wouldn 't be
bad attitudes which cause
slack ing off and consequently
mistakes occurring. Leadership ability is a virtue which
someone either has or has not
and it seems that this is a case
of has (have) not. Leadership
instills faith and pride in the
t eam mem b ers an d t h em
want ing to be better than the
opposition. This is more mental

AttentionMovie Buffs
Capitol Theatre is testing a
new idea that was suggested by
the Academic and Counseling
Commission on campus.
The Commission, headed by
John Walker, had a meeting
discussing the social needs of
the college student, and conclude that movies are one of the
main forms of entertainment. Consequently, a
student representive,
Igric
Yamoah , spoke to the
managers of both the Capitol
and Columbia Theatres. He
suggested that by giving
college students a cut rate,
there would be a larger attendance. Capitol Theatre
responded favorably by having
Dollar Night every Wednesday
now through December.
If student attendance is high,
the Capitol Theatre will continue to charge the kiddie rate
to aU students by a show of I.D.
cards. If after December, attendance is still low, the rate
will be discontinued.
As of yet, Columbia Theatre
has not responded either way.
Once things get rolling,
however, and if the Capitol
T h e a t r e is successful ,
Columbia Theatre will
probably j oin the bandwagon.
Take advantage of this
special offer now!
