RETRE NCHME NT

Over the course of the
summer, BSC was faced with
dealing with the problem of
retrenchment and loss of
various services or a cut in
services at the least. The
budget has to be stretched to
try to keep the college running
smoothly, and yet there will be
a layoff in order to meet the
budgetary demands.
After accepting then rejecting various plans, PLAN C is
the one that will probably be in

effect unless something unforseen occurs. This plan is
printed in full below and deals
with the least needed services
first and works down to the
most-needed services :
RetrenchmentPlan C
(IncludingAlternatives to
Retrenchment)
l.Food service economies-This
item will reduce drastically
those College-supported and
work-related functions such as
semi-annual faculty orien-

others are members of the
TIAA-CREF plan, whose rates
are 7.6%, the amount paid into
the State Employees
Retirement Fund from the
College 's budget should be
reduced by $6, 056.
This
represents a savings of five
percent of the total salaries of
$121,122 earned by these six
employees.
This is a positive opportunity
to reduce expenditures to a
more precise and equitable
amount without harming the
operation of the College.
3.Reduce expenditures on
buildings and structures- This
will have serious implications
in Sutliff and Hartline Halls
with regard to laboratories on
which major work must be done
to up-date in order to provide
facilities necessary to the new
Health Science programs.
Impact on educational
programs is most severe in
gearing up to support changing
missions in order to meet
student needs and retain our
enrollments. 4.1ncrease room

decision is made most reluctantly since it may well have a
serious long term effect on our
enrollment. Charging an additional room fee of $72 per year

Act now on special
aid re quirement

Ninety thousand Pennsylvanians going to colleges,
trade, business and nursing
schools this fall will know in the
next few days how they stand as
far as financial aid from the
state is concerned. Their state
higher education assistance
grants, worth approximately
$64 m illi on , have been
processed and award notices
are being sent to the recipients.
But , another 13,000 state
student aid hopefuls who
haven't fulfilled special filing
requirements could be hurting
themselves for second-halfyear help if they don't act soon.
The Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency,
which administers student aid
for the Commonwealth , have
this explanation : For the firsthalf year , 103 ,000 awards
valued at about $33.4 million
had been processed by the
Agency. Because of unused
federal funds last year, the
Agency made half-year awards
in order to best match up both
state and federal funds with
applicants.
In order to utilize federal
fund s fully, the Agency made It
mandatory for PHEAA applicants to also apply for aid
through a federal program ¦—
the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
(BEOG ) . Ninety thousand
complied , 13 ,000, didn 't. The
ninety thousand currently are
';
receivin g awards notices.
"Those 13,000 who should
have filed lor BEOG help but

will get a final
notification that they should do
so, "said Kenneth R. Reeher ,
Executive Director of PHEAA.
"If they don't, they will lose
their eligibility for state aid for
the final term of 1975-76."
The notification will be sent
soon to those who didn 't apply
for BEOG aid. Either way, said
Reeher, students will know
within a short time what their
status will be or what they must
do if they have not filed , and
should hold their questions until
they either have gotten a grant
notice or instructions on how to
proceed to obtain BEOG
eligibility.
Because of the expanded
number of applicants and the
anticipated increase in the total
award amount with no increase
in state funding, the Agency
had to make it mandatory for
the major ity of students to seek
federal BEOG help as well. By
doing so, the students, for the
most part , could receive more
aid through combined federal
state aid even though they
would receive less state aid
alone.
' The 13,000 state grant applicants who previously were
notified by PHEAA that they
were required to file for BEOG
and have failed to do so will
have until October 15, 1075 to
take that action, If they fail to
do so by that dato, eligibility for
a state grant for¦ the final term
of the current academic year ,
will be denied ,
did n 't

reluctantly because of mixed
reactions from institutions
where two-year editions have
been published. The catalogue
is a contract with the students
and it is vital that information
concerning policies, curricula
and program requirements be
as up-to-date as possible. A twoyear printing schedule would
require a drastic and difficult
adjustment in procedures for
revising policies and implementing new programs.
Thus, the work of the LongRange Planning Commission
would be seriously impaired.
6.Abolish one 'management
position (Associate Vice
President for Academic Alfairs)- The loss of this
academic m a n a g e m e n t
position will mean that the
important academic support
services of admissions ,
records, and the library will
lose a high degree of coordination with the teaching unitsof the College. In addition, since
this executive dean's duties cut
a c r o s s a ll a c a d e m i c
organizational lines , instructional programs will
suffer the loss of the efficiency
which proper coordination and
supervision can bring.
This position retrenchment
reduces still further one of the
smallest management staffs
among the Pennsylvania State
Colleges and University.
7.Reduce contracted main- 1
tenance expenditures- A
reduction in this obj ective will
defer cleaning and routine
inspections on costly equipment. Over the years, this will
result in breakdown and higher
equipment replacement costs.
Most air handling equipment
and office machines are too
specialized for our campus
maintenance employees to

Calendar Controversy Over
The students have been heard !
You have returned this fall to some good news, which is a welcome
change compared to some of last year 's events.
Last semester there was a great turbulence of student
dissa tisfaction concerning the shape of the '76-'77 academic calendar.
If you can remember , the calendar was set up such that final exams
would be awaiting the students soon after Christmas vacation. This
dragging-out of the first semester was met with much student unrest.
I' m sure you are able to recall the numerous letters and editorial
comments that appeared within the pages of the Campus Voice. Some
were nasty and some were suggestive of alternate ideas. But , more
importantly , all were fighting what had been accepted to be instituted
for '76-77.
Dr. Pickett's name was one frequently-used as the one responsible
for the poorly-outlined calendar , and justly so. However, over the
course of the summer, Dr. Pickett realized his error and has changed
the calendar plan.
Dr. Pickett recently stated to a group of students, "One thing came
through loud and clear and that was your deep concern ." And he
further noted that all future calendars would begin around September
1 and end about May 15 with Christmas vacation uninterrupted.
I think that we have to take a moment and realize something here.
We students do have the power to change things if we voice our concerns to those in charge of the policy making.
President McCormick has tried to impress upon students that we
can work within the system to get what we want , and this calendar
change is surely indicative of his point.
Another point that must be shown is that any governing body ideally
should realize when it has erred in judgment in the interests of its
people. And when this has been determined , a change must be instituted or the people will lose faith. Since in our case the mistake has
been rectified , it shows that the administrative staff is interested
enough to take our concerns as important.
Just as you and I rebuked Dr. Pickett for his decision last semester ,
now he is entitled to our lauds .
Welcome back , everyone-I'm glad we could be welcomed with such
good news.

The Lighter Side

by Peggy Mor an

A sum mer p lace?
Tired of that same old
summer vacation that never
seems to change from year to
year? Are you bored with
working to earn enough money
to come back to school? Has the
family style vacation and the
"at the shore" scene lost its
appeal ? Then, maybe next
y ear , you should try Bloomsburg.
For the interested student ,
willing to put up with a few
minor Inconveniences, Bloom
offers a wealth of both
educational and social activities.
As far as the summer social
scene is concerned, the Union is
where the action is. On
weeknights, mainly during
orientation , tuned in students
may be found bumping to the
beat of live music, or on a less
active night , taking in a flick in
the comfort of the airconditioned Multipurpose
Room.
But f ur t h ose two mont h s
when the only people to be
found on campus are those
stooges taking summer courses, the "soc"(as in social
scene) is not, quite up to par.
During the week the Union
Games Room is t h e pl ace f or
t he busy stu dent to ta ke a b rea k
from their harried schedules.
The Union Is open for business
until midnigh t during the week;
weekend finds the
but the
cam pus hot spot an impenetrable fortress after 10
p.m.

Situations like this definitely
leave something to be desired
as far as social activities are
concerned. With no other
alternatives , students are
forced to seek entertainment
elsewhere ; off-campus for
instance. Wild fraternit y
parties and other sundry
downtown activities were the
last resort for entertainment of
most students who chose to
weekend here in Bloom.
But taking all of this into
consideration , things could
have been worse: they could
bave had the pin ball machines
removed from the Games
Room, or the parties might not
have been quite so wild.
Considering that vacation has
just ended , it might be a little
soon to be making plans for that
next exten ded hi atus , but when
May rolls around , and you're
faced with the prospect of yet
another summer doing what
you've done f or t h e p ast fi ve
y ears , give Bloomsburg a
ch ance , it might surprise you,
(Then again , it might not) .

"Pitt enger 's p ar adoxes "

Welcome back, and welcome
back to a few grand controversies, the grandest of
which is the budget deficit
problem and what BSC is going
to have to do about it next year.
According to the state
Department of Education , we
will have to hit our "Target
Deficit" (such a cute phrase) of
$1,002 ,063 for that fiscal year.
Cutting that much money isn't
a matter of trimming off the
excess; its a stab in the heart
for almost every department
and curriculum on campus.
( Read the facts on page one. )
Paradox par adise
Here's the thing, the real
thing: BSC is about the fifth
largest state-owned college

Thin king Allowed

by Mark Mullen

Gett ing It Going
College-time is here again
and Bloomsburg State College
is throwing the collegiate
machine into gear once more.
There's a lot happening to the
campus, on the outside and on
the inside.
The external changes are
most evident , and are affecting
us in various ways. The rubble
of Old Waller Hall has yielded
to a bustling mass of steel and
concrete, making the walk up
Second Street interesting and
the driving difficult. Campus
Security has some new wheels
(a new station wagon and a new
International Scout) to get
around on , and Elwell lobby has
had a face lift.
The visual changes are impressive, but the real improvement is more difficult to
see. I've observed a change in
the administration that perhaps
many will not notice for some
time. The administration , so
far , has been putting a great
emphasis on involvement and
good communication. I sense
that Dr. McCormick and
Company are improving Intern al and external communica tions. As a result, we'll
be seeing a lot more of our

There

will

be

administrators, and we'll be
asked for feedback to aid in
i m p r o v i n g our c a mp u s
situation. I hope we'll have
answers.
Another happy change made
of late, is that Dr. Pickett (you
remember him) has decided to
recommend to President
McCormick that the '76-77
calendar be "revised" to a
more viable plan. Apparently,
someone was listening last
year.
But as the semester starts
rolling along, we've all got
some common problems to
keep us occupied. Such as
remembering our roommate's
name(s) , standing in line for
course changes (and meals
too ) , locating classrooms and
buildin gs and profs , and
keeping your mind off of the
summer you just left.
So as another semester
begins to happen along, we all
venture forth with our numbertwo pencils in our hands and
our social security numbers in
our hearts, and we proceed to
print legibly, keep our keys
s t r a i g h t , rem ember our
roommate's name , and perservere.

Students in "hot water "
To get specific, one of the
major things to be chopped off
is the campus laundry . All oncampus students will start to
wash their own bed linens next
year. The Commons won't be
likely to have freshly washed
and ironed tablecloths either.
The real tragedy though , is the
loss of jobs for the 12 people
employed at the laundry now .
"Salary savings" sounds good ;
"Depriving people of their
income" sounds more realistic.
Many departments will
become short-staffed , creating
overcrowded classes and poor
quality education. Some staff
reductions
m ay prove
dangerous; the security staff
will lose one guard, and the
Student Life staff will lose a
resident dean, meaning one
dorm will be without a
professional administrator.
Public Relations will be clipped
down by one staff member and
a serious cut-back in printing;
Bloomsburg State won't be able
to promote itself efficiently and
will lose even more enrollment
possibilities.

'Mi ghty Oak s' poor imitat ion
of Moodies
In "From Mighty Oaks",
Thomas tried to straddle the
line between making a moody
Blues orientated album like his
predecessor "Blue Jays" by
Justin Hay ward and John
Lodge and a commercially
successful album. As this album
proves, the mix does not work.
Thomas did put together a
band that sounds fairly good but
this is where his roots in the
Moody Blues begin to show
through. By choosing John
J ones on guitar , he picked a
musician capable of , and
succeeding at , mimicing Justin
Hayward.
R ichard Hewson as orchestral arranger and conductor sh ows li tt le departure

past Moody Blues albums.
Thomas tried to put the Moodies
sound into the album even with
voca ls,

seemingly chosen to pract ically
duplicate those of the Moodies.
AU of this might have been
allowable if not for the material
Thomas chose for the album.

pop and country , Thomas
cannot fit the Moodies sound to
the material. Many of the lyrics
seem far distant from the
sounds going on around them.
Thomas ' voice only aggravates
matters. Often much too
piercing and out of place, his
voice works against a song
instead of flowing with it.
These factors combine to
make the album full of songs
that seem to have been pieced
together. With only one good
rocker ( "High Above My
Head" ) the album consists
mostly of ballads on which
Th omas cannot contro l hi s

which only serves to intensify
the suspicion that Thomas had
no direction to go with when the

50% - Si nce t h e gra d uate
students displaying the

hits hardest at the quality of our
g r a d u a t e education. The
decision also will result in lower
quality undergraduate instru ct ion i n t h ose dep artment s
where graduated students have
been assigned , since the
assistants directly support that
instruction. 9.Redu ce sabbatical replacements by 50%Sabbatical leave recipients are
presently replaced only on a
highly selective basis (about
35% of those recipients were
r e p l a c e d in the 1974-75
a c a d e m i c year. F u r t h e r
reduction will require the
postponement of high demand
classes. 10. Reduce German

18. Close the college laundryThis will place the total
responsibility for the cost of
supplying and laundering bed
linens directly upon the
students. The present food
servi ce contract also dictates
that the college la under the
ta ble linens. Closing the
Jaundry f acility will require the
f ood servi ce ven dor to a bsorb
this cost. Thi s in turn will mean
renegot iat ing or sign i ng an y

contract or agreement which
involves providing the laundering of bed liRens for students
or table linens for the food
serv i ce ven dor. N o matter wh at
t h e arrangement , these added
costs plus the basic fej e increase
and the proposed room fee
increase would put further
financial burdens on the
students. 19.Reduce History
staff by second person
20. Reduce GeographyCultural
Aff airs staff by one
21.Reduce Public Relations
staff by one- Retrenching this
position would reduce the staff
of the Office of Public Relations
and Publications by one-third
at a time when the demands in
the office are increasing. It
would require drastic curtailing of College plans for
publicizing and promoting new
missions and programs. The
Cffice currently combines
responsibilities which are
di strib ute d over two or more
offi ces at many inst i tut ions ,
including academic support for
the Journa lism program.
22.Reduce History staff by third
person
23.R educe French language
staff by second person
24 Reduce Student Life staff by
one (Unit IISCUA resident
dean)- This will require a
resident h all to operate w it h out
a prof essiona l adm in i strator at
a time when all residence halls
are overcrowded. This will
adversely affect the maintenance of the physical facility.

approximately 300 students,
and the j u d i c i a l and

be similarly affected. The
absence of a resident dean will
mean that non-traditional

eliminated and the identification of problem areas
prior to trouble will be greatly
d i m i n i s h e d . 25. R e d u c e
Business Education staf f by one
26.Reduce Physics staff by one
(1 UPGW person)- With the
security staff to cover three
shifts already at a minimum ,
retrenchment of one secui ity
officer will result in diminished
protection of our students and
of Commonwealth property.
The student health services
program will also be adversely
affected in terms of transporting s t u d e n t s to the
Bloomsburg Hospital
Dispensary.
Reduction in this staff will
also deprive the College of the
opportunity to serve as a
cu lt ura l center f or t hi s regi on.
28.Abolish the remainder of the
graduate assistantships - The
C o l l e g e ' s m a s t e r s - level
programs in special educat ion ,
speech pathology, audiology,
teaching of the hearing impaired , an d rea di ng are amon g
the strongest in th e eastern
United States. Retention of half
of t h e gra duate assistantships
normally available to the institution would have permitted
a marginal level of incentive
an d support to t h ese important
programs. With the abolition of

Huskies tune up
for season opene r
This year Coach Sproule faces
one of his toughest challenges
in recent years as he tries to
bring the BSC football fortunes
back to respectability.
One of the things that make
this task look extremely difficult , is the lack of a proven
offense. Last year's offensive
unit showed only occasional
glimpses of effectiveness as it
sputtered throughtout the
season.
To improve on their offensive
outlook , the Huskies will have
to cut down on mistakes that
last year cost them several
games, and also on injuries
which hindered the development of the young offensive
unit.
The Huskies suffered
several key injuries last season
and this had to hurt their

development , -particularly
serious being injuries to running backs and starting
quarterback Stan Guerecki ,
since lost to graduation , so that
it seemed as though the team
never had the same starting
backfield two weeks in a row .
Coach Sproule will be looking
for a replacement for Guerecki
and his choice could be either
Ken
Haynie
or
Gene
Markowski , both of whom
started some of the time last
year while Guerecki was injured. Who ever gets the nod ,
he will have to be able to get a
decent running attack The
* offensive line could be a much
better aid here than it was last
year due to the fact that they
will have to work together for a
season. Last year they were

The women 's swimming and
diving team of BSC will compete against ten teams this
coming season . This compares
to six in the recently completed
season.
Last year , BSC
(58-28) ,
defeated Lehigh
( 87-41) ,
1 Mansfield!
and
Lycoming (87-30) but lost to
Penn State (97-34) , Bucknell
(76-55 ) , and Lock Haven (78-53).
In preparing for this
schedule, Head Coach Mary
Gardner stated ,"There are
several strong, promising
freshman coming for next

season who will definitly add to
the team 'sdepth and strength in
various events where we were
lacking somewhat for our first
season."
She added , "This season we
hope to have all the girls back
since the team was comprised
of
all
freshman
and
sophomores. "
The tenative schedule lists
meets against West Virginia ,
Glassboro State, Temple, East
Stroudsburg, Lock Haven ,
Mansfield , Lycoming,
Binghamton
Lehigh and
Bucknell..

unused to working as a unit and
their in experience was a major
factor in the hinderance of the
running attack.
The defense comes back in
slightly better shape than the
offense, but graduation has
made its claim here also. The
most of their
team lost
backfield through graduation
bu there are rep lacements
waiting in the wings. The most
important loss could be the
graduation of Line Welles.
an . outstanding
Welles ,
defensive back and the teams
punter , will be missed more ,
however for his
punting skill's which landed him
a job with the WFLThe
defensive line suffered a loss in
Gene Rejent but again there is
adaquate support in the ranks .
Two keys to the Huskies
improvement have to be the two
backfields , both offensive and
defensive. The Huskies will
have to get some potency out of
their offensive team to be able
to compete with the rest of the
conference. On defense, the
linebackers and defensive
backs will probably feel much
of the pressure of coming up
with the key play to keep the
team in a close game.
Last years last minute loss to
Millersville was probably the
best effort the Huskies got from
both offense and defense. For
the Huskies to win this year it
will take that kind of performance again.

Fall sports in acti on
This year 's fall sports
program at Bsc will be looking
to improve on whatprovedto be
a somewhat dismal season last
year. In the spotlight of autumn
sports stands football . In Last
season the Husky gridders
could only muster one win in 10
outings ' . Hopefully, Coach
Sproule 'gjy get his offense
moving and put poinLs on the
board. The defense, which held
up quite well last year will have
a tough job as they will have to
replace the likes of Line Welles,
Charlie Bender and G Gene
Rejent.
SOCCER'S SOPHOM ORE

The first oclumn of this year 's cui' -p sports season is my annual
massacre of football predictions.
My top ten in the college ranks starts off with Oklahoma in the
number oneslot followed by Alabama , U.S.C., Michigan , Notre Dame,
L.S.U., Ohio State, U.C.L.A., Penn State and Texas in the last spot.
NFL Pi ck s
In the NFL , the ctosest races should be in the Eastern Divisions of
the N.F.C. and A.F.C. where four teams are probably going to finish in
oJ the playoffs. In the AFC east, Miami , Buffalo , New England , and the
New York Jets should fight it out for the top two slots and a playoff
; . berth . Miami and Buffalo have to be considered the two favorites,
although the Jets or Patriots could slip in to a playoff berth.
Over in the sister division of the NFC, things look a little more
hecticSt. Louis, Dallas, Philadelphia , Washington and the New York
Giants all have a mathematical chance of ending up in the playoffs.
Dallas has lost its starting running game, bringing them down into a
battle for a playoff bid. From the outside though , it looks as though
Dallas will win the division and either St. Louis, Washington or
Philadelphia will pick up the wildcard berth.
In the other divisions, picking winners is much, much easier as the
field narrows . The most interesting race will be in the NFC Central
- Division where Minnesota might be pushed to retain their conference
title. The Vikings will get some competition from Green Bay, Detroit ,
and Chicago but should still retain their championship form. In the
west, Los Angeles is head and shoulders over everyone in their
division and should have an easy lock on the division .
In the AFC, Pittsburgh and Oakland should easily reclaim their
division crowns of a year ago.
BSC will be trying to improve on their football fortunes of a year ago
but it could be a long road if they don 't get an offensive show going.
Baseball Rundown
This summer a surprise developed in baseball . The New York
Yankees, with Catfish Hunter , were heavily favored to win the
,. American league East. To date, the Yanks are in third behind
Baltimore and a distant thirteen games off the pace set by front
running Boston . In the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies are
trying to catch Pittsburgh who leads them by 3-V2 games,.
