Dining Hall
Named For
Forme r Governor
A new dining hall nearing completion on the campus of BSC
will be named for Willia m W .
Scranton , Governor of Pennsylvania from 1962 until 1966 , according
to Mr . William A.
Lank , President of the College
Board of Trustees .
In a letter to Mr . Lank expressing his appre ciation and
in accepting the unanimous
recommendation of the Board of
Trustees , former
Governor
Scranton wrote , "I am most
gratef ul although , as you know ,
I am not one of those who is looking for memorials or plaques
or dedicatio ns . _ It w.as a great
honor to be the Governor of
Pennsylvania and to have the opport unity that this job gives anyone . "
Expected to be read y for occupancy by February, 1970, pre sent plans call for the facility to
be dedicated dur ing the week of
April 12-18 , 197 0, in conjunction
with the Inauguration of President
Robert Nossen , and will be officially designated the William
W . Scranton Commons . Former
Governor Scranton has been invited to participate in the dedication and the Trustees are hope ful that his calendar will permit
him to be on campus at that time .
The new Commons will include
two large dining areas which can
be divided into four smaller

areas , each having its own serving equipment . The seating capacity willaccom odate 1,000 students and the food preparation
area is designed to serve 2,000
students at each meal . The Commons also includes several offices , lobbies , a dinin g r oom for
facult y and another for food service employees , a bakery, walk in refrigeration storage units , a
loading dock and receiving area ,
employee locker rooms , and general stora ge areas. All areas
except the kitchen are air-conditioned. The cost of construction
is appro ximatel y $1,645,000. Mr .
Lank , in commenting on the action of the Boar d of Trustees
stated , "G overnor Scranton , in
1964, recognized the abs.olute
need for a new dining hall at
BSC to provide food service for
students occupying newly constructed residence halls. After
conferring with college officials ,
the Governor was instrumental
in providing the necessary authorization for design and construction funds in the Capital Budget . "
While thepresent C olle,ge Coriimons will be continued in use on
a limited basis , the new facility
will enable the College to extend
food service privileges and also
permit student activities to be
scheduled in the present Com mons until a student union building Is constructed .

An Open Letter To Governor
Shafer:
During your recent visit to
Bloomsburg State College, I had
the opportuni ty to raise a question about your administrations '
efforts to enforce the State 's
regulations concerning the operation of migrant labor camps .
You replied In part by saying that
you helped pass some line pieces
of legislation benefiting migrants
while you were a member of the
State Legislature and that the
State has been praised for its
record on migrant affairs. More over , you invited me to pr ovide
you with information about any
alleged violations that I was
aware of. Since the format of the
question and answer period did|
not allow me to respond to your
re ply, I am writin g this opem
letter .
In the first place it seems in*
consistent to me for one to help
put laws on the books and then
fail to enforce them. It' s like saying you are for one thing and doing another. Laws not effectively
enf or ced are worse t ha n n o laws
at all, for they give a false sense
that all is well. But , G overnor
Shafer , all is not well in the Migrant Cam ps of Pennsylvania. The
laws are on the books and you can
poi nt to the m to satisfy those who
axe concerne d about the welfare
ot the migrant labor , and on the
other han d , you can point to lack
of effective
enforcement
to
satis fy those who have to make a
capital outlay to brin g the se
ca ps up to State standards of
health and sanitation . For accord ing to Myer Grant of your Dept.
of Labor and Industry, you only/
have ONE Migrant Cam p. In*,

C ommonwealt h, an d one wonders
how he could check all of these

Dear Editor:
Although I am in general agree ment with Dr. Primack' s denunciation of the Vietnam war , I find
that I must take exception to an
importa nt point he raises in his
"Observations on the Massacre
at Pinkville ." By subscribin tc
the idea of collective guilt Dr .
Primack exonerate s the individuals directl y responsible and
plac es the blame on the American
people : "For the guilt of Pink ville is a collective guilt . All
of us who have quietly and caut iously enjoyed the goodies of
American life while Pink ville
and the bombings were happening
are MORE guilty than Lieutenant
Calley. "
By. the same logic the civilians of My Lai are rightf ully
condemned by the American soldiers for their collective guilt in
supporti ng the Viet Cong . Dr .
Primack is right in reminding
us that the nature of modern war fare does not make distinctions
between combatants and non-com batants in air raid attacks . But
given the insanity of war there
is still some apparen t sense in
tryin g to impose restrictions on
such weapons as gas or the use
of atom or germ warfa re , as well
as the reprisal raid which My
Lai seems to have been , since
these weapons and modes of war fare bring us In closer step with
the tactics followed by Hitle r 's
SS tr oops.
But the bigger issue is that of
collective guilt , an idea which has
been used by the Christian world
against the Jews and the allies
against Ger mans since the Second World War . What the Vietnam War has demonstrated is that
the Germans rather tha n being inherently disposed toward fascism
were its earlier victims . Our
society is attempting to fight the
same disease . Dr . Pr imack' s
presence and right to speak de-

Dear Members of BSC Commun ity,
Many thank s for your concern ,
interest and support in my VISTA
project. Your backing has encouraged me mor e than once , when I
thought all was hopele ss.
The respon se has been unre al — and many have benefited .
Not only has your support encouraged me , but also the other
23 VISTAs in Wilcox Count y,
You have of course aided the
people in need her e. But , prob ably as important , is the fact
that you have helped your self
^- you have become involved—
you have become a part of the
solution rather than remaining
a part of the problem. I thank
you , and we all thank you,
Progress is slow, frustrations
are
many— but rewards are
pr iceless. My experience with
VISTA has been worth 10 college
educations. Practical experience
inevitably surp asses classroom
work. I' m not downgrading BSC
or any college institution , but
there are simp ly things that cannot be taught— they must be learn ed— through our own individual
efforts .
f hope this letter arrive s before your Christmas vacation — I
want to wish each and everyone
of you a Merry Chris tmas and a
Happy New Year. My thoughts
will be with you .
Best wishes ,

To the Editor:
I would like to take issue with
Dr . Primack' s remarks (Forum ,
Dec. 10 , 1969) concernin g the
atrocities committed at Song my.
The central point perhaps is
Dr. Primack 's astoundin g remark , and I quote , "You cannot
consiste ntly maintain both that
the continued involvement of
Amer ican militar y forces in Vietnam is right and that Pinkville
is wrong ." Unpacked a little , the
statement means that if you suppor t the war , the alleged action s
were ration al and perha ps moral ,
and that if you were against the
war , the slaugh ter at Songmyw as
no more abominable than any of
t he other ac ts of war un derta k en
by Americans In Vietnam. This
position seems so pat ently false
that it might be instructive to
look at the reasons Dr . Primac k
offers for it.
Dr . Primack does not seem to
be saying (although I am not sure
of this) , that from the point of
view of one who supp orts a war
there is no suc h thing as an atro city . There are some , I know ,
(not many) who at least have the
mor al coura ge to condemn the
i mmense slau ghter of civili ans by
the Viet Cong as atrocitie s, (without engaging in the sophistr y of
remar ks about selective political
assass ination) and still find their
cause mor e ju st than ours. In other wor ds it' s reasona ble , and not
ver y pr ofound , to assume atroci ties can and will be committed
In wars , whether war is justified
or not .
If Dr . Primack agre es with the
above , then his remarks reduce to
saying that the alleged acti ons by
American s at Songmy do not constitute an atrocity . And thi s is an
ama z in g view, at least in the context of the reas ons Dr . P rimac k
offers for justifying it. Are we to
believe that because there was a
"f ire-free zone " at Songmy, that
it was "rat ional and right" to
shoot old men and women with
bab ies in their arms? Are we to
take the view seriously that because babies might grow up to
fight against us that it is "ra tional and right* 1 to slaughter
the m ? (I have heard this view
from others than Dr. Primack ,

Movie Review
Cassid y

Cf

JIM SANCHETTI
I had one heckuva time this
holiday season , trying to find
a movie worth going to see let
alone wort h wr it in g about . Mainly
because the theatres were filled with Christmas epics such as
" Santa Claus Conquers the Mar tians While His Elves Strike For
Legalized Marijuana at the North
Pole and Donner and Blitzen Write a Nixon Speech" . But
I fasted and prayed and mine
eyes were soon directe d to you
hometown newspaper where I noticed an ad for a movie billed
as the "in Western of the Year ."
Curious as to how a horse-opera cou ld be "in ," I donned my
galoshe s and was off to catch
the 6:55 show .
Well , the 6:55 satisfied my cur iosity , but I sta yed to see the
9:20 just to be sure that all those
amazin g things I had seen had
rea lly happened.
NEWMAN AND REDFORD
What made this shoot- 'em-up
better than all the others? First
there was Paul Newman as Butch
Cassld y, notor ious (?) leader of
the Hole in the Wall gang. Pr obably the only outlaw you 'll ever
see w h o can 't shoot , fight , drink
or gamble ("You just keep thinkin ' Butch , that ' s what you 're good
at "). Newman , pro bably the most
versat ile actor in motion pictures today, is a very cool and
Incredibly funny Cassidy . He
knows he 's the best outlaw in
the whole world , "I' ve got vision
wh ile the rest of the world wears
bifocals. ") and he never lets his
little handicaps get in the way of
his belief .
And the reason he doesn 't is
becaus e his partner is the Sundanc e Kid , a stron g, silent type
who can do all those things Butch
can 't plus make love to Katharine
Rossfr emember The Graduate ),
Robert Redford If the Kid and he

ZJn e

Sundance

^J\id

reminds me of Clint Eastwood as
"th e man with no name " in those
Italian Westerns. It appe ars that
Redfor d and Eastwood have cor nere d th e mar ket on poker faces
and guttural replys . But teame d
with Newman , even some of Redford' s one- liners come out funny. T ake fe r instance , t he scene
in which Butch gets shot up
running for ammunition while the
Kid is supposed to be covering
him. Back in safety, N ewman
gasps : "Is that what the hell
you ca ll cover ." And Redford ,
still with no trac e of facial expression , comes bac k with : "Is
that what the hell you call run ning."
Completing this Bonnie and
Clyde gan g is Miss Ross as Etta ,
the beautiful school marm who
sleeps with Sundance but who' s
heart belongs to Butch. But even
if that sounds hard to understand ,
you 'l l still love her and Butch
riding a bicycle while B. J . Thomas sings "Ra indro ps Keep Falling on My Head ." Etta too is an
out law of sorts ; a rebe llious soul
who , when aske d by her lover
(s) to go to Bolivia to rob banks ,
, replys: "I' m 26 , single and a
school teacher and that' s the bottom of the pit ."
LAST OF THE OUTLAWS
The story is different from
all the other cowboy outlaw stories you'll ever see because Butch
and the Kid are the last of the
out laws . The Spanish-Americ an
War has already begun and the
bicycle threatens to replace the
horse , so Butch and the Kid are
fighting more than the law, they
are fighting the future . And it is
their devil-ma y-care , the-future *
can-so-to-hell attitude that makes
them so unfor gettable .

y Jb s e r v a t i o n

by Tom Brennan
The visit of G overnor Ray mond P. Shafer to the Bloomsburg Stat e Colle ge campus was
significant in the .sense that he
proved himself concerned enough
to talk with students and listen to
their probl ems and questions , bul
at the same time several inconsistencie s turned up in his
remarks .
The grea test and most glaring
was his contenti on that the Penn sylvania State College system
is not racially segreg ated. The
Governor based this conten tion
on the prem ise that blacks students can be admitted to any one
of the fourteen state colleges ,
not only to Cheyney , and that no
outright segregati on is practiced
by the other thirteen lily-white
colleges. However , the governor didn 't take into account the
matter of DE FAC TO segrega iion , whereby black studen ts are
subtly clued into the fact that
Cheyn ey is the best place for
Afro -Americans to be, which
really amounts to a state -enforced and funded " stay in your
place " doctrine . The other colleges have done little or nothing
in the past to provide a viable
and livable black community ,
which has been the case here at
Bloomsburg . The disturbin g factor was , that in speaking of
Pennsylvania
non-segregation ,
Mr. Shafer ignored the Department of Health , Education and
Welfare prono uncement that "the
State of Pennsylvania is operating
a system of higher education
that is racially segregated on a
state-w ide basis /1 and his own
Secretary
of
Education admittanc e of thi s condition by re .
marking , In answer to HEW that
"something should be done. " The
fact is that nothing of substance
has been done during Shafer 's
reign durin g the past three years
and not even since the command
from HEW ( at the possible loss
of federal funds). The state as a
whole seems to be moving ver y
laggardly .
Campus Development
In another area , in res ponse
to a question asked In Carver
Auditorium , Gover nor Shafer replied that the responsibility for
the BSC architec ture plans lies
with the college officials and
hence they are the ones to blame
for produc ing build ings which
war m the heart of any good bric k-

layer but leave something very
much to be ' desired alon g the
lines of aesthetics. H owever , in
the past , state ments coming from
the office of Boyd Buckingham ,
Director ot Development , have
seemin gly implied -that the GenAuthority is the
eral State
culprit and the college must follow their wishes. Hopefully,
clarification of this point will be
forthcoming.
•
At the press conference immediately preceedin g the question and answer period in Carver , the Governor responded to a
reporter 's questio concernin g a
" hypothe tical take-over of a state
college building with a rather
hard core stand , saying that he
would immediately act to re move
those students . But in Carver , in
answer to much the same question , Mr. Shafer was much more
mellowed, speaking of taking
various factors into considera. tion , tr ying to keep the lines of
communication open, etc. These
two reactions are understandable
if one analyzes the audiences to
which he was speaking: at the
pr ess conference with three television cameras trained on him
and four radio mikes in front
of him , Mr . Shafer was speaking to middle -class America who
would pr obably condome such a
hard line stand , while in Carver
he was speaking to an academic
community which might be more
sympathetic to the students and
prone to more lenient action.
This shifting of views is known
as being a good politician , or ir
a layman 's sense , talking out of
both sides of your mouth .
Discredits Question er
Another observation of Shafer
is th at when ask ed a question
which he didn't want to answer
or didn 't know how to answer he
tried to discredit the questioner
saying that the questioner 's facts
were not stra ight or some other
clever remark like that.
Finally Shafer made some good
remar ks on the fact that the laws
must app ly to all , stu dents , facul ty and administrators alike. However it will be another thing for
Mr. Shafer 's prono uncement on
the general philosophy of the law
to be implemented by a college
administration that has been fit to

the benefit of Neil Simon 's, lafflines, brevity , and BSC stage vet eran s in the major r oles .
It had the drawbacks of being
held in Carver— the small low
stage and balcony suppor t columns strained the viewing comfort of much of the audience ;
inexperienced actors in minor
roles — they didn 't always wait
for laughter to subside before
' blurtin g out new lines; and a
somew hat barren , una ppealing
set. But then James McCubbin
has pro duced so many exquisitely
effective sets that this one, a
couc h and umteen doors, came
as a shock.
Performances in the Odd Couple ranged from excellent to adequate . Jim Berkhelser was consistently fine , Tony Kohl was
good in sports , only adequate in
others . Amy Raber and Velma
Avery were neither spectacular
nor were they poor . The poker
players shared good and bad
moments , but Neil Simon 's lines
and what appeared to be good
directin g always carried them.
FELIX
Berk heiser , who portrayed Felix, the meticulous , malady-rid den na g, dominated the show. He
played Felix straight and be*
lievably . In this show and others ,
Berkhe iser exhibited a flair for
Art Carney-like comedy , elicting
both sympathy and laughter from
the audience .
Berkheiser 's belivability as
Felix added considerably to the
shows ability to yank laughs from
the audience . When his ears
blocked up, my own popped , and
the moss© call he did to unblock
them was funnier than it might
have been , because of Berkhei ser ' s ability to evoke rea lity and
identification . When he nagged
Oscar Crony Kohl), we laughed
and felt sorry for Oscar . When
Oscar
threw
the spagettiwhatever *lt -was on the out of
sight wall and Felix cried out ,
;
"I' m going to clean it up, "
believing he really could not
stan d havin g it "slide down the
wal l," was funn y, whereas his
simply saying he would like to
clean it , without belief, would
lack humor .
Furthermore , Felix's spasmo *
tic movemen ts and odd physical
quirks could have been easily
over d one . They seemed to come
rather naturall y to Berkhe iser

00.

Tony Kohl as Oscar , the cynl*
cal other half of the odd couple,
gave a good but somewhat uneven
K

performance . A smile (cynical? )
accompanied most of his lines
and I' m still not sure whether
it was a part of his characterization or just nervous ener gy.
Kohl had excellent moments
thou gh. The scene near the show 's
close, where Felix states , "th e
blame is on your head Oscar ," ¦
and Oscar (Kohl), paces the stage
mumblin g "t here' s somethin g on
my head . He put it there . I
can feel it .'' The ubiquitous smile
was gone here . He took the part
seri ously and the audience broke
up (with laughter and odd and
sundr y chuckles and even a clap
or so).
Tony 's desire to have the Pigeon girls come to the apart ment
for dinner . . .and things , was also
believable . And, when the girls
made their entranc e (Amy Raber , Velma Avery ), his desire was
quite understandable .
That the girl' s per formances
distracted my attention from
their strate gically exposed anatom y is a compli ment to those
per f ormances . I did see a male
head here and there that was
distinctly aimed at one spot (or
two, or so) for the duration
of the girls ' scene.
Seriously, Velma and Amy both
seemed to overdo the giddy , giggly, gamey gal bit . Still , it was
never irr itatin g, totally.
Velma seems to have a knack
for this sort of farcical com*
edy. Her voice , movements , and

expressions express hilarity with
smooth ease.
Amy, who is a more subtle
actres s, and who was off to the
right (from my seat) and outflanked by Velma who had center
stage and the bright lights , nonetheless acted as if the world
were watching . There is a trick
to enjoyin g Amy 's performanc es
thou gh. Watch her face . She acts
as much with her eyes , her lips,
droo py expressions and lackada sical grins as she does with
her voice and her body (neither
of which , might I add , suff ers
from underdevelppment — per haps I should say she is well
balanced ? Perhaps I should get
out of these pare nthesis. It' s
getting stuffy in here .)
The Poker Players (Carl Rosa .
Russ Griffith , Ed Mor gan, Alan
Klawiter ) all had good moments ,
and all appeared at times unsure
of themselves.
ALL IN ALL
Rosa 's blank stare as another
player smooshed him in the mug
with a banana , Klawiter 's bathroom exit , Griffith' s ever smoking pipe , and Ed Morgan ' s real ly
hilarious Murry , the cop, saved
the poker scenes fro m being merely a recital of lines.
I think one can safely say
Director McHale is far better
when doing strai ght drams , but
his efforts at modern comedy,
although impro ving, show some
discomfort with the genre .

With respect to your Invitation
to cite specific violation sof State
re gulations on thi s matter , let
me recount some casual obser vations I' ve ma de i n and about a
camp outside Lights treet called Seescholtz. The buildings In
this camp are unheated , and as
a re sult when you ar r ive th ere
on a chilly fall morning you'll
sometimes see children shiver ing around a wood fire in thei
parking lot . Some of them , I' ve
heard , have been seen sleeping
between two m attres ses f rom a
lack of blankets . Many screen
doors are torn and windows brok en. Some are covered with cardboard in a vain attempt to keep out
the cold and flies. On hot after noons you notice first what
strike s your nose. You see, the
wor ke rs at the camp seem to
use chamber pots and toss their
content s out the door where children often play in bare feet. I
infer
from this that toilet
facilities may not be adequate
at Seescholtz.
Now the State , I understan d ,
requires camps to be heated , to
be in good repair , that blankets
be provided , that there be adequa te toilet facilities , and that
sanitary conditions be maint ained.
I've heard that not all camps ,
fortunately , are as bad as Seescholtz and that some are compar atively good , so it's not my
pur pose to condemn the opera tion of all emps . Still some may
be as bad or worse , but it is
hard to say since the operators ,
of some camps bar entry to outsiders and sometime s go to the
length of posting guards to turn
people away , or so I've heard.
One wonders what they are hiding. (No guards , I hope , will be
posted outside of Seescholtz as :,
a result of this lett er.)
As a citizen of the Common wealth , I'm ashamed that camps
like Seescholtz are allowed to
operate, and I hope that you will

To the Editor:

take swif t act i on to upgr ade not
only t h i s camp, but others

throu ghout the State. Only then
will the camps be as good as
our laws.
Sincerely yours ,

Obiter

The high and exulted office of
the OBITER wishes to express
its desire that all people who
have legitimately purchased a
1969 OBITER proceed without delay to this office and procure
their book of artistic creativit y.
Also, the aristocracy of the year book reques tsthat all humans who
have any desire to purchase the
1970 OBITER do so at once.
The benevolent editor of this
book of remembrences has advised me to relate to you information of the price of the 1970
OBITER. So, hereby and forthwith , until date ot Januar y 31 ,
1970 , all yearbooks will be sold
at the wholesale price of eight
dollars , approx. three pounds ,
five shillin gs and ten pence sterling for those of you who understan d only the British curren cy.
After this date the yearbook shall
skyrocke t to the
inflationary
price of ten dollars (four pounds ,
three shillings). In additi on to
this , after the date of February
10 , 197u , the office of the OBITER
will no longer accept orders from
the populace.

Massacre Lette r

but usuall y in Introduction to
Philoso phy classes.) Are we to
.suppose that revenge against
the relat ives of the Viet C ong
constitute a rea son "rational and
right" for her ding them in ditche s
and gunni ng them down? After all,
as has been done elsewhere , the
villagers rema ining could have
been taken to camps. If we accept
Private
Meadlo 's testim ony, '
when ordered to "take care of
them " he assumed it meant keep
the m together until they could be
taken to a camp. What makes the
events more ghastl y, is that
there is some evidence that the
villagers who were eventually
slaughtered had gathered in the
t square , assuming that J s where
they would be safe. (Eelievin g
it was American practice not
to har m those who came out in
the ovdn.) Dr. Primack , himself
said , "The survivors are now
in a refugee camp. " He meant ,
of course , the survivors of the
massacre. Strange that it did
not occur to him that all could
have been taken (as Meadlo assumed they would be) to refugee
camps. Dr . Primac k's reasoning then , seems specious. At
this junctur e, it appears that
the particular evil at Songmy is
not re levant to the question ofviiether the Americans are justified in fighting in Vietnam . The
evil of Songmy is not merely
an inherited evil from the war.
It is then perfectly right (and
must be done) to punish individuals who were involved. (Although this might unfortunately involve a whitewash of the
war itself.) It is also right to
pr aise those soldiers who refused to obey orders , and those
(if this is true) who intercede d
in an atte mpt to save lives.
i

As for the motives of those
involved . Hardly (except for some
semantic juggling) "rational and
right. " Why not accept Private
Meadlo 's test i mon y as somewhat
par adigmatic here . Confusion ,
reven ge , per haps racism , and
ORDERS ; these were involved.

Football Fans Cry As Bowl
Game Marathon Nears End

The season for gluing oneself
to the television to watch the mor tal combat of college football is
nearl y over . The climax of the
centennial year of college football
came with the four bowl games on
New Year 's Day . For those of you
who were not sufficiently recuperat ed from the previous eve and
refused to brave the snow and below-freezing temperature s outside to watch the football mara th on , the action of the contests
was unexcelled by pre vious New
Year 's games.
It all began with Archie Manning, Mississipp i quarterback ,
leading his team to victory over
th ird ranked Ark ansas 27 • 22.
Arkansas outgained Ole ' Miss ,
but the Mississippi rose to the
occasion several times to stop the

Arkansas
drives
within the
shadows of the goal posts . Mississippi led at the half 24 - 12
and staved off a late Razorback
cha rge to cap the 36th annual
Sugar Bowl .
At the same time of the Sugar
Bowl , Number One Texas was
shadin g Notr e Dame 21 • 17 in
the Cotton Bowl . The Fightin g
Irish came out of their bowl exile
and put on a great showing to
nearly upset the powerful Longhorns. With Joe Thiesman completing 17 of the 27 passes for
231 yards , the Irish led most of
the game. But in the end the wishbone T of Texas which helped to
gain 331 rushi ng yards pr oved to
be the difference in the game.

dan gers. Many respected scientists and national leaders have
indicated that althou gh some positive steps have been taken , toxic,
persistent pesticides are still accumulatin g In the world environment , reakin g destruction on fish
and wildlife and threat ening man
himself . Is the price we pay for
these products in terms of their
effect
upon our environment
wort h the benefits we obtain from
them?
The pollution of our rivers and
lakes , and of the air inour urban
areas continues to accelerate .
Suburban sprawl continues to destr oy vast scenic and recreational resources , with little heed
being given to pl ans to create
workabl e environments. And
the millions tra pped in our ur ban and rura l ghettos continue to
su ffer the worst of the massive
air , water , land and noise polluti on .
Who will finally bear the brunt
of this tra gic Irresponsibility ?
The new generation now in school ,
the generation which will soon
Inherit the wor ld environment .
The time has come for all citizens
to begin thinkin g about the basic
questions raised by technological
advances and environmental degradation .
Students in America and the
world , who are deeply concern ed with the hard choices which
t h e i r generation faces , are
uniquely well suited to take Initiatives in explori ng with all citizens the pro blems created by
man's growing Impact upon his
environment;
In addition to bringin g this
widespread Involvement , the
tea ch.ln* would present information , draw the Issues , stimula te
plans for action , and demonstrate

the strength of concern for a liv able world .
Furthermore , the environmental teach-ins present an unprecede nted opportunity for the
involvement by student initiative
of communities , organizations ,
lead er s , and concerned citizens
of all gener ations in a common ,
nonpart isan effor t to meet a problem of far-reaching consequenc e.
Thus , we are wr iting this letter to urge that all campuses
in America participate in a
br oad-based , student-led teachin effort , involving all individuals and groups who share this
concern.
Alr eady, the student response
to this idea has been one of overwhelming support , and a number
of campuses are now we ll into
the process of plannin g April 22
teac h-ins .
At the University of Michigan ,
a mass meet ing was called by an
ad hoc stude nt committe e to plan
a teach- in. More than 350 people
showed up, and the plan is now '
well under way . University officials and faculty were also contacte d by the students for their
support and advice, a step which

we believe is important for suc cess.
We look forward to the April
22, event and ask your support
and leadership. We are convinc ed
that , if young people put their
ener gy, imagination and Idealism
to wor k on this issue they will
help wr ite a bri ght new chapter
in the struggle for a livable wor ld.

April
22 environmental teach-ins on
their campuses , and associated
eff orts in the communit ies .
Successful teach-ins on all
campuses on the same day w ill
have a dramatic impact on the

effective as an education effort

There Is no question that in the

Student Rioht Joint Statement Continued

B. Insti tutional Authority and Civil Penalties
Activities of students may upon
occasion result in violation of
law. In such cases , college officials should be prepared to appri se students of sources of legal
counsel and offer other assistance. Stu dents who violate the
law may incur penalties prescri bed by civil authorities , but
college auth ority shall neve r be
' used merely to duplicate the function of general laws . Only whe re
the college' s interests as an
academic community are distinc t
and clearly involved shall the
special authority of the college
be asserted. The executive Coun cil of the Committee on Student
Affairs shall determine if the interests of the college are involved and concurrently , decide
if action by a Judicial Committee
is deemed necessary. In cases in
which the Executive Council of
the Committee on Student affairs
concludes that the particular infraction of civil law does not
cpnflict with the interest of the
college , the student may be referred to eithe r the office of tins
Dean of Men or Dean of Women ,
for consultative purposes with
the understandin g that no disciplinar y action will be render ed. The student who incidentally
violates college regulations in the
course of his off-campus activity , such as those relatin g to
class attendance , shall be subject to no greate r penalty than
would nor mally be imposed .Col.
lege action shall be independent
of communit y pressure.
VI, Procedural Standards in
Disciplinary Pr oceedings .
In developing respo nsible student conduct , disciplinary proceedings play a role substantially
secondar y to example, counseling, guidance , and admoniti on.
At the same time , Bloomsbur g
State College has a dut y and the
corollar y disciplinary powers to
pr otect its educat ional purpose
throu gh the setting of standards
of scholarshi p and conduct for the
students who atte nd and through
the regulation of the use of institutiona l facilities. In the exceptional circumstances when the
preferred means fail to resolve
probl ems of student conduct ,

should be observe d to protec
the student from the unfair imposition of serious penalties.
The administr ation of disci,
pline shall guarantee proc edural
fairness to accused student.
Practices in disciplinary cases
may var y in formality with the
gravity of the offense and the
sanctions which may be app lied.
They will also take into account
the pr esence or absence of an
honor code , and the degree to
which the insti tutional officials
have direct acquaintance with
student life in general and with
the involved student and the circumstances of the case in par ticular. The jurisdictions of faculty or student judicial bodies ,
the disciplinary responsibilities
of institutional officials and the
regular disciplinary procedures ,
including the student 's right to
appe al a decision , shall be clear ly formulated and communicated
in advance. Minor penalties may
be assessed informally under
prescribed procedures.
In all situations , procedural
fair play requires that the student
be informed of the natu re of
the charges against him , that he
be given a fair opportunity to
refute them that the institution
not be arbitrary in its actions ,
and that there be provision for
appeal of a decision. The following are recommended as pro per safeguards
in such proceedings when there are no honor codes offering compar able1
guarantees
A. Standards of Conduct Expected of Students
Bloomsburg State College has
an obligation to clarify those
standards of behavior which it
considers essential to its educa tional mission and its community life . These general behav ioral expectations and the resultant specific regulations shall
represent a re asonable re gulation of student conduct , but the
student should be as free as possible from imposed limitation s
that have no direct relevance to
his educ ation . Offenses should
be as clearly defined as possible
and inte rpreted in a manner consistent with the aforementione d
princi p les of releva ncy and rea
\ sonable ness. Disciplinary proceedings should be instituted only
for violations of standards of
conduct for mulate d with significant student partici pation and
publi shed in advance throu gh such
means as a student handbook or
a generall y available body of in •
