WELCOME TO BSC! ! !
Here you are a freshman at
college -- at last. You're a little
apprehensive, a little afraid, and
definitely excited. Orientation will
help to rid you of many of your fears,
because after it you won't be so completely lost in September when you
return.
College is very differnt from
the life you've been accustomed to;
it's a definite change. Everyone
hopes that it will be for the better,
but as the old saying goes, college
is what you make it. Put a little
effort into everything you do and
you're sure to come out ahead. This
is the time for growing up, a time
for being on your own and a time
to prove to yourself and your parents

-5-

that you are capable of making you
own deci sions and living your own life.
Some times it will be difficul t, but always r emembe r there are about 500 othe r
fre shme n women who are as nervou s and
scare d as you.
De ar Coed is another aid in the
attempt to help freshmen women adjust
to campus life . Read this for some
helpful hints from women who were
freshmen just like you.
Remember BSC is known as the
"friendly little college on the hill"
so smile and enjoy it!

LIFE IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS
OR "HOME SWEET HOME"
Come August, Columbia, Montour,
Schuylkill or perhaps Northumberland
will be your new home. Possibly you
will prefer Luzerne or Elwell Halls
which offers you a coeducational living situation. Regardless, living in
a residence hall is a completely
unique experience - one which you'll
never go through again. Your room is
your room! No one is going to tell
you where to put your furniture, when
to clean and dust, and when to put
away your clothes. So if you don't
mind making tunnels in the dust and
climbing over piles of dirty clothes
(and your roommate is agreeable) ••• !
The only time you'll be asked to
tidy up is prior to vacations when
you'll be asked to unplug all of
your appliances, empty your trashcans,
and close your drapes - all this is
for fire safety.

It takes little time to get used
to sharing a lounge and bathroom with
15-30 girls and a laundry room with
some 225-400 others. Cooperation is
the key and it's not very hard. It
often leads to a lot of fun.
Another distinct experience is
visitation. It's up to each residence
hall to select it's visitation hours.
The maximum limits are:
Sun-Thurs
l:00pm-ll:30pm
Fri & Sat
1:00 pm-l:30am
These are subject to change each
year, and you will be notified of any
new policies. Hall Council will decide
whether or not sign in and sign out
is mandatory when you have a male visitor in your room, and you must escort
him through the halls at all times.
It's always nice to check with your
roommate too, before you bring a guy
in. Remember, it is their room too!
Each dorm is run by a dorm council.
Each wing in the hall selects one girl
from their wing to represent them at
meetings. It is your responsibility
to carry your gripes and grievances
to her before council.
All in all, life is a residence
hall is a lot of fun. There are lots
of nice girls to meet and millions of
things to do. Your room is yours,
your hall is yours -- and as always,
it is up to you to make it what you
want.

TELEPHONES
A recent addition to the BSC
campus is the Centrex Telephone System,
in which each room in the residence
halls is equipped with a telephone.
Yes, it's tru! A phone system has been
installed on campus and after a year of
operation has gained great apraisal.
The college has its own community area
code with the Bell Telephone Company
and each room has a phone of its own.
All you do is pick up the phone and dial
to a friend on campus, off campus, or
even back home. It surely makes tele phone calls much easier and quicker
than running down the hall, waiting for
the phone to be free, and then slipping
some "easy" money in and getting the
operator. Instead, the little black
phone on your wall operates just like
the one back at home. Of course, with
this advantage of having your own phone,
comes the responsibility of paying the
bills. Those long distance calls will
still cost you something, needless to
say they will cost you a lot less since
it is direct dialing. You will receive a bill from the phone company each
month.
I guess there has to be a catch to
anything that is good, still you'll be
getting a lot more for your money this
way.

ROOMMATES
One of th e most challenging aspects of college life is developing
a good relationship with your roommate, Roommates come in all different shapes , sizes, temperaments ,
and personalities. Learning to adjust
to each other ' s habits and differences
is the basis of a good relationship.
To some girls this comes easily, others
find it very difficult, especially
if they've neve r had to share a room
with anyone before. With patienc e.
and cooperation, howeve r, everything
should work out alright.
Remembering to be considerate in
little things can be a big help. Don ' t
make a lot of noise if you r roommate
is sleeping. If sh£ has a big ttst
the next day and is studying in the
room, don 1 t turn the stereo on or invite a lot of fri ends i n. Common
s ense is the key !
Your roommate and you can have a
lot of fun together. Writt to each
other during tht summer, when the

- 9-

admissions offices nds you her address and find out a little about each
other's backgrounds. Also, this is a
good time to discuss color combinations
for your room and to decide if you want
to buy your bedspreads, rugs, etc. s e parately during the summer or wait and
get them downtown at the beginning of
the year. If you both agree, it can
be a lot of fun to wait and go shopping
for these things together. You will
feel that your _room belongs to the two
of you, not each owning half of it.
Something else to discuss in your
letters is who is bringing what. It is
a good idea to bring one of the larger
items and share them. For example,
two stereos are just not practical.
Your space will be rather limited so
decide what you each are bringing before
you come.
Due to overcrowded conditions in
the dorms, some freshmen may be tripled.
With three in a room even more cooperation and consideration is needed.The
room may seem very small and crowded
at times. You will be sharing two
closets among the three of you. You
will have to decide who sleeps in the
bunk and on the single bed, and who gets
the extra desk that is moved into the
room to accommodate your tripled room.
Sharing · is even more important in this
situation . Carefully plan what you want
to bring so that you will have enough
room for it and try to bring your wardrobe on a seasonal basis.
Being tripled can have advantages
too. The tree of you might become very
close and often it is easier to adjust
when you have two other people to
help you. You will probably find

have one roommate or two, just r emember
your relationship is what you decide
to make it!
RA's

•I

•I

You will meet many people at
BSC, but probably one of the most
important will be your Resident
Advisor (RA).
Every wing of all the women's
residence halls has an RA. The RA
is a student also and has been through
all the problems that a freshman will
encounter. She will be very helpful
to you during your first days of
adjustment,
Your RA will meet you when you
.arrive and give you some instructions you may need. If you
have any questions or need help,
go to your RA; she's there to help
you in any way she can.
Your RA is close to your own age
and you will find that she is easy
to talk to and sympathetic listener.
Your RA is a friend, advisor and
confidante. Go to her if you have
any questions or troubles; she is
there to help.

ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN STUDENTS
Among the other opportunities awaiting the Bloomsburg Coed, is the chance
to belong to the Association of Women
Students (AWS) on campus. Every woman
enrolled at BSC, both residents and .commuters, are automatically included in
this organization.
The purpose of AWS is to represe.nt
the women's viewpoint on issues concerning college life and acting as a grapevine through which coeds can learn
what's going on in the college community .
Individual residence halls are represented by a President, Vice- President,
Sectretary-Treasurer, and Social
Chairman who attend the AWS meetings
and convey the information received to
Hall Council meetings in their respective
residence halls. At these Hall Council
meetings, each floor has a corridor
representative whose job is to turn
it over to the residents at the corridor
meeting. As freshmen women, you will
have the opportunity to run for offices
to be held in your residence hall.
The officers of the Executive Board
for the coming 1973-1974 year are:
President~,·•·••·•··Patsy Williams
Vice-President •••••• Mary Sullivan
Secretary •••......•• Katherine Nelson
Treasurer ••....•.••• Patti Bosich

The Association of Women Students,
in an effort of get women students involved,
recently incorporated Women's Week into
their program, This week devoted entirely
to women offers the females, guest speakers, workshops, panel groups, and much
literature pertinant to the Women's
Movement,
Another vital program which is presented is the Sexuality Program. This
is offered to the community on a monthly
basis. Topics such as Abortion, Venereal
Disease, Cild Birth, and subjects of the
like are discussed with the students by
guest speakers or possibly with the resources from campus. AWS is dedicated
to promote active participation among
the women in their organization.

COLLEGE SERVICES
For the coed who needs a little
assistance in the category of first aid
or in a personal problem or maybe just
a few pencils, there are various places
on campus designed just for such a damsel
in distress.
Do you need a safe place to keep
your book money? Need a check cashed
in a hurry? The place for you is the
Student Bank, located in the Waller Hall
end of the tunnel to the Student Union
Building. The hours are :
mon- fri
1O:3Oam-4:3Opm
While on the subject of money, check
o"fft the . Financial Aid Office in Ben
Franklin. Here you can get any information you need concerning scholarships,
loans, and jobs. If you are interested
in working in the Commons or the Library,
they will tell you what you must do about
that too -- any time between 8:30am and
5:00 pm, Monday thru Friday,
Any problems concerning grades,
classes, schedules, oreven personal
hassles can be taken care of in the
Counseling Center. It is located in
Waller Hall, and it is open 8:30 to 12:00
noon and 1:30pm to 5:00 pm and also deals
with the results of various tests that
you will take during orientation.
Directly across the hall you may
see written on the door "Come in and talk."
This is the campus ministry, where you
can go in and talk about anything that
happens to be troubling your mind or your
heart. There is usually someone there
every week day from 11:00am until 3:00 pm.

The y are all really great guys who
understand, so don't be shy about
going to see them. They can really
help sometimes,
Indigestion from eating too much?
Sprain an ankle on the sidewalks of
Bloomsburg? You might get some help
at the Infirmary in the Student Union
Building . If it happens to be closed
just when you choose to burn your
hand, go to see one of the Assistant
Deans (this is what the locked door
will say, so you can save yourself
the trip,)
Located toward the upper portion
of the campus with the classroom
buildings is the library, named for
Harvey A, Andruss. Skille d librarians
are there to answer any questions you
may have as long as it is open.
Another place you can get books is,
logically , the college bookstore, but
its contents are not limited to books
alone. Here you can buy stationery,
sweatshirts, greeting cards, posters,
pantyhose, candy, records, health aids,
and just about any kind of typical
sohool supply you need. Bookstore hours
are 8:30am - 5:00pm Monday thru Firday
and 8:30 am to noon on Satur da y.
So, if you are ever in ,teed of
any of these services, these are the
places to go. Willing, if not able,
to serve you!

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!
Book buying will be a completely
new experience. After you get your
schedule, at registration, you can check
the book list outside of the bookstore
in Waller . To avoid buying the wrong
book, the thing to do is wait until
the prof tells you what texts you will
nee d, sometimes the book list has the
wrong books listed.
All books may be purchased new at
the bookstore. Don ' t worry if they
run out, they can reorder and they
fr e quently do run out of books in great
demand used for the first time at BSC .
Many students prefer to buy texts in
their major new. If you would like to
save money, you can rent or purchase
books second-hand from upperclassmen.
Before purchasing a second-hand book
though , make sure it's the right edition!
Lists of second-hand books can be found
on any of the bulletin boards in the
dorms or on the bulletin boards in
Waller Hall. Many upperclassmen also
post a list of books to rent or sell
outside their door. Second-hand texts
can also be obtained at the book exchange, which is run by one of the
campus organizations, then the student
receives whatever profit is made.
If you have any trouble, your
big sister, RA, or any upperclassman
will be glad to be of assistance,
You will be give.n plenty of time to
get your books. Although book buying
is new and frightening -- don't panic,
it can be fun.

SCRANTON COMMONS
The William Scranton Commons
is a place to go and eat with your
friends, and sometimes meet and
make new ones. The Commons, as
it is popularly known, is airconditioned, it contains four
dining halls and two lounges for
your comfort and convenience,
The Commons serves three meals
a day during the week, but on weekends only brunch and supper are
served. The food is prepared by
the Slater Food Service.
Many banquets and teas are held
in the Commons by various campus
organizations. Special meals are also
served before holidays and during
finals week, a coffee and doughnut
break is held at a later hour.
The Commons' dress code is
casual wear but no one is permitted
in without shoes or shirts. Meals are
served long enough to give each student time to eat when his schedule
allows.
The Scranton Commons provides
a healthy and relaxing atmosphere, and
is a center of student activity on
campus.

SHHH!

I'm studying!

College life has two sides to offer,
the social and the academic life. Studying becomes a nece ssity in the rol e of
academics . Each day th e re are hours
which are designate d as "quiet hours."
During this time, all noise should be
kept at a minimum in the halls, the BR's,
lounges , and the rooms. The hours are:
7:00pm - 7:00am daily
These hours are simply guidelines and
the individual halls and wings can de cide whether to extend them or not . This
"quiet time" require s only the cooperation and common courtesy of the girls
on the wing and with these two things
kept in mind, study time should be a
valuable time for all .
If someone is disturbing you,
don't hesitate to politely tell them
to keep it down. But don't be insulted
if someday you are asked to do the same sometimes you get louder than you realize.
Finals week well bring extended
quiet hours. Beginning the week-end
before exams, quiet hours will last 23
hours a day. From 10pm to 11pm is your
noisy time! You and your hall mates will
probably really let loose at 10, but at
11 - it's back to the books or to bed!
Quiet hours are really important,
so please be considerate. Remember,
the grade you save just may be your own!

All kinds of questions will
probably be running through your
mind just before you come to college
and for the first couple of weeks
after you arrive. Don't panic!
There is one person who has selected
you to help with the twists and turns
of adjustment to college life. Th is
person is your big sister.
During the sunnner your big
sister will write to you, asking
you to write back with any questions
you have. Also she will want you
to write a little yourself. This
is a good way to start to get to
know each other. Answer her letter.
She can only help you if you are
willing to let her.
At the beginning of the year she
will probably stop by to see you.
This is a good time to ask her questions about the courses you have
elected for the semester, the
curriculum you have chosen, or
anything that is bothering you.

-21-

Early in the year a big and little
sist e r program is held . Your big sis te r
will ask you to go with her. This a great
opportunity to meet other girls -your own age as well as older,
Unfortunately not enough girls
always sign up to be big sisters, This
could result in some girls not having
one. If this should happen to you
talk to your Resident Advisor about it.
She may know someone who would be glad
to be your big sister, or you may find
a friend whose big sister would not
mind being your too.
Having an upperclassman to talk
to and confide in can be a fantastic
experience, She has already gone through
much that you will experience, and
can give you some pointers that will
make your life at college even more
pleasant. Take advantage of the opportunity to build a good relationship!

-22-



WHAT TO WEAR!
One of the questions that may
enter your mind now is "What do I wear?"
The answer is simple. Clean, neat,
appropriate clothing -- it ' s acceptable at all times.
For classes and dining, casual,
everyday clothes are the rule. For
social events the student body splits
down the middle; half dress up and the
other half wear the same casual clothes
that they wear to class, either way
is acceptable, In short, the way you
dress for each occasion is entirely
to your taste.
However, there are one or two
general rules. Gym shorts are not
allowed in the dining halls. You may
wear your gym blouse with jeans, but

-23-

not: the shortso
Sine closet space is limited,
it is better to bring along a seasonal
wardrobEo I would lik to mention,
though, that a raincoat and umbrella
are essentials and sh ould not be forgotten when planning your wardrobe,
For churc~, it is up to the
indivi~ual pastor to e stablish dres
policy for his church. In any case,
extremely· dressy clothes are not a
necessity, although you might like to
have some here in case.
··shoes must be worn in all
public places,
ACTIVITIES AT BSC
It won't take long for you, as a
freshman, to find that education takes
place not only in the classroom,
but in all areas of student involvement
as well. You will be able to put your
leisure time to good use through the
many s ocial and cultural events and
other extra-curricular activities
offered at BSC, which cover a wide
range of interests.
Sports anyone? For you we have
the Women's Athletic Association (the
"Bl! Club) and the Women ' s Recreation
Association, which have developed an
extensive extramural and intramural
programo Extramural sports include
hockey and basketball, while intramural
ac ti viti es such as powder puff football,
voll yball, basketball, and softball
fill the rest of the year. A Water
Ballet is presented in the early spring.
Also, the indoor

pool and gym are there to be used at
your convenience.
For those of you who are interested in politics, we have the Community
Government Association, the AssociaQm
of Women Stude'nts, and the offices of
various organizaiions~ A few of those
organizations that you will have the
opportunity to join are the Bloomsburg Players, the Literary and Film
Society, the Sociology Club, the Biology Club, and the French Club. If
you're musically inclined, we have the
Studio Band, the Women's Chorale
Ensemble, the Maroon and Gold Band,
and the Concert Choir.
There is also an opportunity for
involvement in any one of BSC's publications. The Maroon and Gold is our bi weekly newspaper, the Obiter, is the
college yearbook, and the student literary magazine is the Olympian. The
Pilot is published annually by and for
the student body and contains answers
to questions that confront college
students. The Today sheet is published
daily and keeps students informed of
campus and community activities on a
day-by-day basis.
Coffee, tea of coke anyone? If the
anwser is yes, the snack bar, located
in the new Student Union is the best
place to find it. The new Union offers
the student a modern, air-conditioned
atmosphere in which he can relax, grab
a quick bite to eat, play cards, or
just sit down and talk. It's a great
place to relax or meet people ••.
There are usually events sponsored by
each class and a weekly movie and/or
dance for Friday and Saturday night
activities.
Each coed should plan to take an
active part in the social life at BSC,
Along with all the clubs, there are the
men's athletic ev~~
to support. As you

5:

may know, Bloomsburg takes great pride
in the wrestling squads they pres ent.
Bes ides this, there are weekly football ,
basketball, and swimming events. In
the spring there are tennis matches,
track meets, golf matches and base ball games. Our BSC guys need your
support and encouragement. The wide
variety of activities are there for
YOU to become involved in and enjoy.
Be as active as you can in your Freshman year, so that you can really become involved at BSC. You'll only ge t
out of your college life what you put
into it, and it can be rewarding i f
you' 11 try.
SORORITIES
In the last five years at BSC,
there has been a new innovation in the
introduction of sororities. The
social sororities and the one service
sorority were founded to promote
friendship and understanding among
not only the sisters, but the independent women as well.
You, as a freshman, cannot pledge
to a sorority during your first semester;
but during your second semester all
sororities will accept freshmen, with
a 2.2 rating to rush.
The social sororities at Bloomsburg are Chi Sigma Rho, Delta Epsilon
Beta, Tau Sigma Pi, Sigma Sigma Sigma,
and Theta Tau Omega. Our service sorority is Lambda Alpha Mu. Each sorority
has its own standards and ideals. Most
of the sororities work with the cooperation fraternity to organize several
social events each year.
The sisters of Lambda Alpha Mu,
Bloomsburg's service sorority, are
dedicated to assembling college women
