find a good, scary monster movie? It seems as if Hollywood has

Letter

"Durin g the past s e v e r a l
months I have commented on a
number of occasions tha t inaug uration activities are part of an
academic tradition , of more significance to , and more in recognition of , the institution than directed towar ds an individual . I
am , of course, pleased and proud
to hol d the office at Bloomsburg
State College . At the same time
I hope that the occasion will pro vide an opportunity for the College to present itself to the community, the Commonwealth , other
colleges and universities , and
learned or ganizations ." Dr . Nossen- Wednesday, Apr il 8, 1970,
•MAROON AND GOLD .
This past week being so important to the college and being
photography editor of the official
college newspaper , I felt that it
was proper to have the college
community see what was happen ing on this great event . H owever ,
it seems in all the plannin g for
this week , a part of the college—
the element of the college paper
has been eliminated from the
weeks events . Upon tryin g to get
into the new William Scranton
Commons for pictures of some of
the most important events of the
wee k , I found that being a photo *
•grapher for the MAROON AND
GOLD was not enough to enter the
sacred place . To get permission
to enter the Dedication Luncheon
for a few pictures I had to have
permission from one of the deans
and at the time all of the deans
hap pened to be in the new common s. I am DISAPPOINTED , to
say the least , at this slight oversight which took place in the
planning of Ina ugural Week .
Perhaps for the next one they
will allow the college community at least the right to SEE what
is happenin g in this important
week through pictures .

it' s ser ious awrl ght . My credent -

"Sla pstick " comedy is a description often and erroneously
given to shows that are merely
funny in a boisterous manner in
which no actua l slapstick is used .
THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIM SELF , by Moliere , to be present ed by the Bloomsbur g Player s is
a true slapstick comedy.
In the old "I talian " comedy
genre tha t invented Harlequin ,
Columbine , pantalone , Punchinel lo and others the homor was often
primit ively achieved by havin g
actors beat each other . Vigorous
p lying of a club is still one of the
major sources of children 's
laughter at a Punch and Judy
show, the direct descendant of
the Italian comedy known as corn media del arte as was present ed last year by the Players in
THE GREAT MAGICIAN .
In stage plays which have sent
audienc es into roars of laughter
ovef a well-meanin g fellow
. threatened with an annihilati onhe
doesn't deserve , as with Monsieur Rober t in this show , the
hilarity has often been heighten ed by the use of a slapstick .
This is a contrivance consistin g
of two flat sticks bound together
at a handle , and open at the other
end so that they act as a clapper ,
and make a loud ominously thacking sound when flapped slightly .
In THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF
HIMSELF , Jack Martin , Sganarelle , during the course of an
ar gument beats his wife. Thirsting for revenge , she figures out a
tr ick that involves making him
pretend he 's a doctor by which
she can get him beaten in return
by t wo oth er men . Both scenes
are very funny, chiefly because
the beatings are by means of
loudly thwacking but actua lly
harmless slapsticks. Moliere
uses beatings in other places to
heighten the satirical effect of

Why
Earth Day ?

By GILBERT L. LONGWE LL
Coordinator of E.A.D
E n v ironmental Awareness
Day is more than a ride ott
the infamous band -wagon for
the students at Bloomsburg
State College. It is often heard
that those kids on the hill can 't
care about anything except
themselves. But, Env ironmental
Awareness Day is proof that
we tiie students at BSC do care
for more than ourselves.
Environmental Awareness Day
is designed to make an important and
much n e e d e d
contribution to the town as well
as the country and the world.
Long before "Earth Day " was
a popular topic, two campus
organizations saw the need for
improvement of the town's
environment and the reult was
the "Open Citizens' meeting on
Bloomsburg Area air and water
pollution." From that meeting,
a core of interested students
was formed. These are the
students who have worked long
hours to make Environmental
Awareness Day a meaningful
contribution toward community
education in the area of the
environment.

Rehearsa l for
The Apoca lypse

Yes Folks! Now you can be the
first on your'block to experience
the ecological disaster.
Why wait till 1980?
Don't let the future take you by
surprise.
Prepare now for the end of
civilization.
Rehearse for the apocalypse.
Here are a few suggestions:
Better start preparing your
pallette and stomach for the fare
of the 80's:
Mix detergent with everything
you eat and drink. There's already quite a bit but there will
be a lot more in the future.
Learn how to digest grass and
other common plants.
Start fattening your dog, cat,
parakeet and guppies for the main
course of the future .
Develop a taste for grubs and
insects— your ancestors weren't
too proud to lift a rock for their
dinner.
Practice starving.
Every night before bedtime
drink a glass of industrial and organic waste on the rocks (with
mixer If you prefer).
Appreciating that most services and products will disappear
over the next ten to twenty years,
we suggest this dry run:
Turn off your gas
Turn off your water
Turn off your telephone
Turn off your heat
Turn off your electricity
Sit naked on the floor and repeat this Chant:
PROGRESS IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT
PRODUCT, PROGRESS IS OUR...
And as the final crisis approaches there's no better time to
start hoarding. Start buying
things you'll need after the Fall
on credit— after the collapse no
one will bother with collecting
debts.
While on the subj ect: start
thinking about creative new uses

for money since its present function will soon end. Remember,
paper— particularly tissue— will
be in short supply.
Think about creative new uses
for other potentially obsolete
things like electric can openers,
televisions, brassieres, toilets,
alarm clocks, automobiles, etc.
Accustom yourself to human
body odor.
Now is the time to learn a trade
for the future— practice making
arrowheads and other implements out of stone. Advanced
students should start experimenting with bronze.
For those of you who are Investment minded, buy land , but you'd
better leave enough bread to also
buy a small arsenal to defend your
property with.
Remember Victory Gardens?
Plant your Survival Garden now!
Better quit smoking— rip off a
tobacco ware house.
Stockpile useful Items like matches, safety pins, thread and
needles, prophylactics, etc.
Learn how to shoot a b ow and
arrow.
Start preparing for the fashYou girls

Genesis:
Last Chapt er

In the end ,
There was Earth , and it was
with for m and beaut y. And mar
dwelt upon the lands of the Earth ,
the meadows and tree s . And he
said , "Let us build our dwellings
in this place of beaut y." And he
built cities and covered the earth
with concrete and steel and the
mead ows were gone and man said ,
"It is good ." On the second day,
man looked upon the waters of the
Earth , And man said , "Le t us put
our wastes in the waters that the
dirt will be washed away." And
man did . And the water s became
polluted and foul in their smell .
And man sp ld , "It is good."
On the third day, man looked
upon the forests of the Earth and
said they were beautiful . And man
said , "Let us cut the timber for
our homes and grind the wood for
our use ." And man did . And the
land s became barren and the
tre es were gone. And man said ,
"It is good."
On the fourth day, man saw
that animals were in abundance
and ran in the fields and played
in the sun . And man said , "Let
us cage the se animals for amusement and kill them for our sport ."
And man did . And there were no
more animals on the fac e of the
Earth . And man said , "It is

On the fifth day, man breathed
the air of the Earth . And man
said, "Let us dispose of our
wastes into the air for the winds
shall blow them away ." And man
did . And the air became filled
with the smoke and the fumes
could not be blown away . And the
air became heavy with dust and
choked and burned . And man said ,

hated , And man said , "L et us
build great machines and destroy
these lest they destroy us." And
man built great machines and the
Earth was filled with the rage of
grea t wars . And man said , "It is

On the seventh day, man res ted from his labors and the Earth
was still , for man no longer dwelt
upon the Earth . And it was good.

Why
Teach -In

Because science f orsees the
end of life on earth in 35 years
if the prese nt rate of pollution
cont inues ,
Because breathin g the air of
most of our cities exposes us to
lung cancer causatives equivalent
to smoking one to two and a half
packs of cigarette s a day,
Because ever y year Americans
alone discard 7 million cars , 100
million tires , 20 million tons of
paper , 28 billion bottles , and 48
billion cans . Each year Amer icans spend $2.8 billion just to
collect garbage and discard 165
million tons of solid waste ,
Because air pollution causes
an estimate $13 billion a year in
property damage ,
Because indu stries alone gush
172 million ton s of smoke and
fumes into the air each year , if
pr esent trends continue , air pol>

The task is enormou s. If the

to have to pay a heavy economic

billions of dolla rs, an expenditure which , in the long run , we
all must share . Social , because if

in Pa. Championships
The BSC Husky Rooks , with
Dr . Gilbert Selder s as their ad*
visor , won a stunning chess victory over Lebanon Valley on Saturday , April 13th . BSC , the champions of the Eastern Division defeated Lebanon Valley College
cham ps of the Western Division
4-1, To reach the play-off , BSC
had to compete with Muhlenburg ,
Lehigh and F&M . The Rooks defeated Muhlenburg 4-1 and 5-0,
Lehigh was their toughest oppon ent as the Rooks lost 3V2 • IV2
in the first round , but since Lehigh forfeited its second round ,
BSC walked away with the title .
The Rooks thus earned the right
to play LVC for the title of the
Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate
Chess League . Earlier in the
year BSC and LVC traded 3-2
scores . So the play-off should' ve
been a close match . But when
Dave Kistler beat Glenn Beidel
on second board and Ken Drake
beat Mike Dortch on first board
it looked easy, but such was not
the case . On fifth board Bill Schre ibu found a forced win in the
Middle game to defeat nave Sheaffer . The title was still up tor
grabs as both Jac k F rankso n third
boar d and Dennis Plymette were

fighting for their lives . They were
losing when Dennis' foe , Manoocl
Biran g lost a rook and Denim
quickly won to sew up the mate!
3-1. Jack played his best ganu
ever . Going into the end gam<
he was behind 2 pawn s. Playia i
slowly and carefully, he caugh
up and won.
BSC finished with a fine re o
ord , ending, with a record of 12«
2*1. In the all-important east ,
the Rooks had a 5-1 recor d while
in the west they owned a 6-1-1 recor d. Individually everybody had
a winn ing recor d . F rom first to
fifth board , Dave Kistler 10-4-1 ,
Ken Drake 12-3-0, Dave Sheaffer
10-4- 1, Dennis Plymette 11-3-1
and Jim Kitche n 10-1-0 (their best
recor d). Jack Franks with his
win is 1-0,
BSC will travel to Getty sburg
on Friday April 24 to compete

eliminating hunger and poverty.
We spaunder resources on moondust while people live in wretch*

money and lives in a war we

all a part of our basic disregard

made Vietnam an
ecological catastrophe . Vietnam
was once capable of producing a
marketable surplus of grains and
rice . »Now America must feed
her . We have left more than
500,000 acr j s barren. American bombs ha\ 9 pock-marked the
country with mo» e than 2.5 million crater s as much as 30 feet
deep. We have destroyed a quarter of the country 's mangrove
forests, which shelter proteinrich fish and shellfish ; in their
place grow rat-infested forests
of bamboo.
The destruction of the environment of Vietnam is not simply
a by-product of the war . We are
guilty of direct , devastating, and
inexcusable assault on that nation 's ecosystem . The United
States spent $73 million on defoliation in Vietnam in the last
fiscal year alone. Much of the
money went for the purchase and
distribution of Agent Orange , a
powerful herbicide containing 2 ,
4, 5-T, which has been shown to
produce birth defects in laboratory animais. We have dumped

defoliants on Vietnam at the rate
of 10,000 pounds a month, blackening in a single year 6,600
