Comments on Co llege Council
Lessons fo r Stanley
April 17 , he felt compelled to

I am often amazed and occasionally amus ed at the lack of respect some people have for other
people 's rights . But I was neither amazed nor amused while
readin g Stan Rakbwsky 's Forum
Article in the April 17 M&G .
Rather , I was saddened . Sadden ed by the fact that Mr . Rakowsky,
in his "dis gust ", deemed it necessary to resort to name calling
and making ridi culous statements
about certain people with whom
he does not agree. I believe , Mr .
Rakowsky, that you ought to be
taught a few lessons.
In the first place Stan , I suggest you get out your copy of the
United States Constitution a n d
read the section that provides
for free thou ght, free speech and
a free press for all peoples . Now
Stan , I ask: What gives you the
right , in expressing your views,
to publ icly attack , with crude an*
alogies and outlandish ac cusat ions , people who exercised the
right to express their views; to
publicly attack people who have
never , to my knowledge, u s e d
such methods to publicly attack
vmi

Which brings me to my second
point: intolerance breeds intolerance , Stan, you should have
reali zed , before you wrote that
vicious letter , that when a per son is attacked , be finds it necessary to fight back . You can
call that the Law of the Jungle ,
Stan.' You, in the name of "the
glory of the college " , have chosen to start a verbal mud-slin ging. Now, you must be prepared
to face the counterattack that will
surely be swift in coming.
Now Stan , to illustrate what I' ve
been tryin g to say , let' s suppose
that one of the attacked parties
were to sit down with your letter
and examine it very closely. Do
you know that it could prove embarrassin g to an En glish major
like yourself Stan? Let' s run over it and I'll show you what I
mean .
Let 's look at that first long,
long para graph . Co you realize
that in that one paragraph you
roam over four different topics
in no observable order? Trivial ,
you say? Perha ps, but it shouldn 't
be considered so by a wet-behindthe ears Senior like yourself .
Or how about this sentence:
"We couldn 't be human if we
were satisfied with everythin g
which goes on but what distin guishes the nave 's from the havenots is the manner in which these
two types go about re gisteri ng
their complaints ." Upon reading
that , I went back , searched the
preceding sentences , and could
not find one reference , impl ied
or otherwise , to groups that have
or do not have somethin g. Now
maybe the groups to which you
wer e re ferringwere clear in your
mind but you sure messed up
while translatin g th ose thou ghts
onto the paper . It hardly seems
possible that a man of your mol-

sture could have such commun ication problem s.
Or how about your logic Stan?
At one point , you accuse your
victims of "actin g in a manner
befits third -gra ders" , and two
sentences later you tel l them to
go stick their heads in the mud .
I' ve got news f or you Stan : well
saturated college Seniors do not
tell people to go stick their heads
In the mud , third -grad ers do.
Well Stan , there are a lot more
things in that letter (like your
'original ' Loyalty Week* pro clamation) that we could examine but
I think you get the point: when you
don't agree with someone , try and
un der stan d or at least t olerate
their views and try t o make yours
known without resorting to ver bal violence .
Jim Sachetti

No
Understanding
Dear Sir:
Stan Rakowsky has once again
shown his inability to understand
a situation. He can not comprehend that all of the student body,
as well as all of the faculty, are
not euphoric (as he appears to be)
over the present conditions at
Bloomsburg . He recognizes that
"we couldn't be human if we were
satisfied with everything which
goes on,*' but he fails to see that
by the use of effective action and
rhetoric changes dan take place .
' Seven days ot disappoint ment " is dedicated to the abolishment of "student ignor ance,"
faculty indifference in the college
com munity , and adminis trative
pacification. " By the wearing of
a red-arm band...students , faculty, and administrators will become aware of the number
of
stu dents who feel more must be
accomplished here at B.S.C. It
should be construed as saying we
have seen changes take place , but
we feel more changes are necessary. The red-arm bands are
sayin g carry-on , intensify t h e
efforts for refor m , it's better but
it's not the best possible . Stan
has misconstrued the meaning of
the arm bands , (as he misconstrues man y thing s) he thinks
they are a derogatory gesture
which they are not .
His "directive " is further
proof of the misconceptions he
fosters. Why he feels competent
enough , in his thinkin g to try and
guide others to a similar pinnac le of misunderstandin g is beyond
me. His dealing in the Dudley
M anns suspension (before the civil courts tried him) leaves me in
a quandar y as to his J udicial understanding. (But that Is another
letter as well as another headache.)
Since In his Forum of Friday ,

use ana logies, I will now analogize. Stan Rakowsky Is like a
one-eyed fat cat , who through the
u se of his one eye can see the
other fat cats , who like him , are
content , but , because of his limited sight , he fails to see the halfstarve d and emaci ate d c ats tha t
are struggling behind him. Since
a ll cats don't thrive on the same
diet (garbage ...) all can not be fat
and content . Some will and must
strive for others feed by their
ver y natur e.

If you feel that Bloomsburg
State College has progressed in
the past as well as this year , but
feel that there should be more
re forms and mor e new policies ,
then my suggestion is that you
make
your feelings known by
wearing a red -arm band and taking a greater Intere st in the sessions of college council . If , on
the other hand , you see yourself
as the fat , content cat , then my
comments to you are "try and
understand that all of us are different and that all of us have different needs . Please don 't belittle us for striving for the things
we feel are necessary for - our
survival.

College Counc il meetin g held
April 13, 1970 on Monday evening.
At this meetin g a vote was tak en
on Jeff Prosseda ' s re solut ion to
proclaim the following week a
"week of disappointment ." The
resolution was voted down and
Jeff gave a brief speech and then
submi tted his resignation . I trul y
believe that BSC lost a goodpresident when Jeff resigned .

My ar gument was not tha t Jeff' s
resolution was voted down , my
ar gument is based on the poor
system of representat ion . The
ratio of representatives is broken down like this: thirty-fiv e
admin istrators ra te six repre sentatives , the facult y of two
hundred and eighty rate one representative and most important
the students which numb er thirty
six hundr ed and fifty rate twenty
repr esentatives . I ask the administrati on (Hunsin ger, Jackson, Norton, Hoch , Buckin gham,
and Mulka) , what kind of democratic government is this? This is

not a body of representati ves , it
is a body of dictators . The administration 's ratio of administrators to re presentati ves is
five to one. If the faculty had a
rat io of five to one , it would
have fifty-six representati ves, instead it has only onel If the students ' rat io was five to one it
would have seven-hundred and
thirty representati ves, instead
they have twenty . Twenty repre sentat ives Is a ratio of one-hundre d and thirty-two to one . The
College Council is definitely
over-run by administrators while
the majority, which is the students and facult y, are represent ed by the minority .
The representation
that is
shown at the College Council
meetin gs is a disgrace to the
democratic way of American life,
I firml y believe that the Coun cil
as well as the college is not rep resented pro perly and is being
run by dictators .

Questioning
S tan

Disappointm ent

I was one of the disappointed
students that took part in the
"ridiculously childish action of
wearing armbands and boycotting an event." I did this because
I am genuinely interested in improving this college. To be genuinely Interested on this campus
you have to be very disappointed
in the events of this year.
I'm disappointed because we
have an administration that assumes you are guilty before proven Innocent. I'm disappointed
because Jeff Prosseda (who tried
to work from within the system)
was forced to resign. I'm disappointed because a balanced budget is considered the "highlight" of the year. I'm disappointed because a policy that this college has supposedly adopted is
twisted and broken at every opp ortunity. I'm disappointed because a large majority of the
students on this campus are
going to go on to teach using the
values and precepts taught them
at this institution. I'm disappointed because a professor must
bring an apple pie to class and
wave a flag (American) or he is
a suspect. I'm disappointed because we have an administration
that stands on a policy of "if we
don't like you we'll get you."I'm
disappointed because our STUDENT newspaper is being harassed by administrators. I'm disappointed as hell .
M aybe working from without
the system won't work. I don't
know. But I do know that working from within the system only
works for the administration dupes. Maybe it is easier to be a
dupe. Freedom from harassment
is nice. The ability to get a good
paying job as a reward for being
a "good guy" is nice. The ability
to graduate with simple provincial ideas is nice. The ability
to go back to your provincial
home town and fit right in is nice.
But I don't want to teach the next
generation the "go stick your
head in the mud" philosophy that
this school fosters.
Liberalization of the dress
code was a tremendous advance
(even though it affected practically no one). Elimination of family style dining was quite an achievement. Revision of General
Ed. requirements puts BSC into
the 20th Century in that area. I' m
sure the women were really happy about the "liberal" hours they
now possess. But If this is all
the school has to brag about,
while the aforementioned conditions exist , then count me as one
very disappointed Immature adult .
Sincerely ,

Dear Editor ,
We would like to direct the following questions to Stan Rakowsky
1. As Chairman of the Men's
Judicial Board, could you tell us.
if the members of this board have
a copy of the Joint Statement on
Student Rights?

Major?
