Juniper Performs On 12th Courses
Offe red
Members of the Sociolo gy Departm ent retreat fro m tn» Alumni
Room after refusin g to meet with the Black Student Societ y.
Friday evening, March 12th, at
8:30 p.m., an exicting and different performance is planned
for the Student Union . Juniper is
an experience ! It is dif ficult to
explain what he does; he is a
poet, a songsmith , a craftsman
with words, who reflects his
world — which is your and my
world , too. Juniper plays a little
guitar , mostly as back-up for his
poetry and his songs, which make
you think about things, about
people, about love and life and
song and dance. Juniper is an
experience ! Make sure you catch
him , in concert at the Studen t
Union on March 12.
Juniper has several records out
on Avant Garde , including
"Nobody Knows My Name". A
book of his poetry and songs is
scheduled to be published this
year, bearing the simple title :
Juniper .
Juniper will be here for the
weekend and will be staying at
the Community of the Spirit , 550
E. Second St., the Protestant
Campus Ministry . Juniper will be
here to rap with for anyone who
wants to fall by the Community
on Saturday, March 13th. Any
time during the day.
Dinin g Committee
Re-enforc es Policy
The C.G.A. Dining Room
Committee decidedat its Monday
meeting to reinforce a careful
meal-ticket policy in the Scran ton
Commons. All students are advised to be aware of the
provisions of this action because
it will be strictly maintained .
1. A VALID MEAL TICKET
MUST BE PRESENTED AT
EACH MEAL.
2. STUDENT PHOTOS AND
SIGNATURES
MUST ACCOMPANY
ALL
MEAL
TICKETS AND WILL BE
CHECKED AT EACH MEAL.
3. SINCE MEAL TICKETS
ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE , ANY
STUDENT LENDING HIS
MEAL TICKET WILL LOSE HIS
TI CKET UNTIL HE OR SHE
HA S BEE N NOTIFIED AND
A PPR OPRI ATE A CTION HAS
BEEN TAKEN.
4.
STUDENTS
FOUND
BORROWING A TICKET WILL
BE ASKED TO EITHER PAY
FOR A MEAL OR LEAVE THE
DINING AREA.
The committee has deemed it
necessary t o endorse t hi s poli cy
because (A) students purchasing
a meal ticket pay according to
the costs rated on only the
average , not the total , number of
meals served any st u den t i n the
Commons each semester; (B)
non- ticket-hol ding students
un f a i r ly i ncrease th is average
and costs ; (C) the committee
strongly believes the student
body should no longer tolerate
any students abu sive of the
dining privileges others have
purchased.
This simply means if you own a
meal ticket, use it yourself. If you
need a meal ticket, buy one from
the business office or pay as you
go.

Freedom Should Be
Used and Not Abused
By Mike Yarmey
A lot of people have been using
the word " freedom " like most
people use shoes. Unfortunately
t he
freedom
lover 's interpre tation of the word doesn 't
coincide with most ot her 's interpretation of wha t that word
reall y means . The dif ferenc e
between these two meanings of
freedom is the word responsibility .
Freedom just doesn 't happen .
Though we, our generation , have
been born into a free society , we
shouldn 't disrega rd the fact that
our forefa thers fought for it ,
starting with the American
Revolu t ion . They fought for
everyone 's dream . Freedom . But
freedom cannot be maintained
and preserved without some typ e
of social order with regulations or
laws .
Today some cry that laws in-
fringe upon their freedom . One of
the freedom s in the news today is
that of freedom of speech . Yes ,
there are laws . But they aren 't
laws of a regul atory manner .
They don 't censor opinion but
rather they censor taste . A prime
example is on the campus. The
Gadfly is a politic al pa per which
is for the most part aga inst this
school administr ation and the
government administration . To
allow this paper to continue to
operate is called freedom of

majority of people in this country
(and it is a democratic country ,
where majority rules ) think four
let ter words ar e bad taste . They
are offensive , useless and
pointless and

Freedom is riot automatic. It is
not there just for the asking. This
country is now fighting for our
right to uphol d and preserve our
freedom . We have a major threat
today called Communism. I do
not wish to go int o detail about
that at the pr esent time.
It should be 'remembered ,
however , that we, as individuals
are responsi ble for our action and
our use of our freedom .
Burning down ROTC buildings
is not our example of freedom of
speech or freedom of will.
I hope to avoid a lot of people
writing in , citing differen t instances or examples of their
freedoms being abused . Because
for every freedom they claim
being abused there can be 10
cited th at aren 't. And for every
freedom th at truly was abused ,
there can be 100 example s cited
where they are not. I hope none of
the idealists out there get all
hyper and play these childish

Huskies End Season
With 12-8 Record
Despite a series of injuries to
key personnel and the toughest
schedule in the history of college,
the BSC College wrestfing team
ended its regular duel meet
season with a 12-8 record. The
Huskies concluded their season
Saturday night with a 22-14
victory over West Chester S.C.
Coach Russ Houk is now
preparing his charges for the
Penna . Conference Competition

Two of the worst defeats suffered by the Huskies this season'
were at the hands of two
nationally ranked powerhouses,
Iowa State U. (28-6) and Ohio U.
(31-3). One other match, Eastern
Michigan U., was lost by one
point. Two matches, Miami of
Ohio and East Stroudsburg S.C,
were lost by two points ; BSC had
previously beat East Stroudsburg
by four points. The other three
losses to Clarion, Shippensbufg
and California , were lost by a
spread of 4 to 9 points.
The best record for the season
was posted by sophomore Floyd
"Shorty " Hitchcock , Stevensville, Pa., who wrestled at both
177 lbs. and 190 lbs. and finished'
19-1, including1 14 pins. The next
best Husky performer was senior
co-captain, Mike Shull, Newport,
at 118 lbs., who posted a 13-6-1
record with 6 pins. Sophomore
Ron Sheehan, Drexel Hill, who
wrestled at 177 lbs., 190 lbs., and
heavyweight, was injured twice
during this season, but finished ,
the duel meet competition with a
fall against "West Chester. Junior
Doug Grady , Hatboro, at 167 lbs.,
was a steady performer with a 96-3 record. Heavyweight ,

Champion , Jim McCue, Bernardsville, N.J., was injured ,
ended the season at 4-4. Another
break even ( 10-10) season was
posted by senior Wayne Smythe ,
Lancaster, at 142 lbs. and 150 lbs.,
who defeated some outstanding
opponents during his final year of
competition .
Coach Russ Houk has indicated
he will probably use the same
lineup in the PC Championships
this weekend t h a t went against
West Chester, namely: 118 lbs.Mike Shull ; 126 lbs.-Larry

The motion was carried.
When asked if he felt his
department was using the
technicality
of
whites
as ' an excuse not to hear
the Black Student Society ,
Benson replied yes. He stated
that the black students had
learned the lesson that many
student
groups
haveinstitutional channels one must
go through are only devises to
control dissent and discontent.
These channels prevent the
process of communication rather
than provide avenues of expression.
Rooks Check Moravian
Last Sunday the Husky Rooks

giving up a win in league competition this year by beating
Morav ian 's strongest player in
an extremely close game.

Expand You r Creativit y
Everywhere today we are
confronted by forces which
threaten to dehumanize us as
persons . The purpose of the
human relations training of the
Community of the Spirit Protestant Campus Ministry is to
offer an alternative to this
situation and help shape new life styles for people. Two events
remain for the rest of the Spring
term which are still open for
participation by students.
Expanding Your Creativity is a
five-night lab for 3V2 hours per
night. It will be held April 23, and
April 26 through May 24 (four
Mondays). This is a lab experience
stressing
the
development of the creative
process and the unblockage of its
flow in individuals and their
environment , using art and
written materials. The focus is on
unplugging your creativity, but
broadly defined . All people are
creative; we seek in this lab to
assist individuals to chan nel their

This is a lab to deal with the need
of people to set goals and make
decisions for the future. Stress is
on the development , through
games and experiences, of a
viable and planned future for the
individual consistent with who he
is at the time.
These lab experiences may be

the training process, see Jay
Rochelle and ask about it.
Bids Open For Union
Opening of bids for the new
Student Union building has been
scheduled for Wednesday, April
7.
Boyd
F.
Buckingham ,
Associate Vice President for
Development and External Affairs, stated that if the total bids
are within the limit of $1,260,000
that has been allocated for the
project, it is hoped work can be
started this summer for a
tenative completion date of
September, 1972. However, if the
bids total more than the
allocation , there will be a delay
while efforts are made to obtain
the additional funds.
The new student union is to be
constructed on a site behind
Waller Hall and will include a
part of the area now occupied by
the old Husky Lounge.
Scrani on Report
Part Three
Excerpts from the study of
campus unrest by the now
famous Scranton Commission
were issued to the BSC faculty by
the AAUP . The M&G feels the
recommendations
of
the
Scranton Report are of interest to
all Americans.
Among the recommendations
made by the report are those for
the government, the President,
for law enforcement and for the
students .
university
and
Following are highlights of one
recommendation :
"We advance our recommendations not as cure-alls, but
as rational and responsive steps
that should be taken . We summarize here our major recommendations , addressed to those
who have the power to carry
them out."
We have deep sympathy for
law enforcement — for peace
officers — local and state police,
National Guardsmen and campus
security officers — who must
deal with all types of campus
disorder . Much depends on their
judgement ,
courage
and
professionalism.

They must avoi d bo th un-

Too frequently local police
forces have been undermanned,
improperly equipped , poorly
trained , and unprepared for
campus disturbances. We
therefore urge police forces,
especially those in smaller
communities, to improve their
capacity to respond to civil
disorders.
We recommend the development of joint contingency plans
among law enforcemen t agencies. They should specify which
law enforcement official is to be
in command when several forces
are operating together.
Sending civil aut horities on to a
college campus armed as if for
war — armed onl y to kill — has
brought tragedy in the past. If
this practice is not changed ,
tragedy will come again.
Shoulder weapons (except for
tear gas launchers ) are very
rarely needed on the college
campus; they sh ould not be used
except as emergency equipment
in the face of sniper fire or armed
resistance justifying them.
We recommend that National
Guar dsmen receiv e muc h more
training in controlling civil
disturbances. During the last
three years, the Guard has
played almos t no role in
Southeast Asia, but has been
called to intervene in civil
disorders at home more than 200
times .
We urge t hat the N at iona l
Guard be issued special
protection equipment appropri ate f or use i n control ling
civil disorders. We urge that it
have sufficient tactical capability
and non-lethal weaponry so that
it will use deadly force only as the
absolute last resort.

Juniper Performs On 12th Courses
Offe red
Members of the Sociolo gy Departm ent retreat fro m tn» Alumni
Room after refusin g to meet with the Black Student Societ y.
Friday evening, March 12th, at
8:30 p.m., an exicting and different performance is planned
for the Student Union . Juniper is
an experience ! It is dif ficult to
explain what he does; he is a
poet, a songsmith , a craftsman
with words, who reflects his
world — which is your and my
world , too. Juniper plays a little
guitar , mostly as back-up for his
poetry and his songs, which make
you think about things, about
people, about love and life and
song and dance. Juniper is an
experience ! Make sure you catch
him , in concert at the Studen t
Union on March 12.
Juniper has several records out
on Avant Garde , including
"Nobody Knows My Name". A
book of his poetry and songs is
scheduled to be published this
year, bearing the simple title :
Juniper .
Juniper will be here for the
weekend and will be staying at
the Community of the Spirit , 550
E. Second St., the Protestant
Campus Ministry . Juniper will be
here to rap with for anyone who
wants to fall by the Community
on Saturday, March 13th. Any
time during the day.
Dinin g Committee
Re-enforc es Policy
The C.G.A. Dining Room
Committee decidedat its Monday
meeting to reinforce a careful
meal-ticket policy in the Scran ton
Commons. All students are advised to be aware of the
provisions of this action because
it will be strictly maintained .
1. A VALID MEAL TICKET
MUST BE PRESENTED AT
EACH MEAL.
2. STUDENT PHOTOS AND
SIGNATURES
MUST ACCOMPANY
ALL
MEAL
TICKETS AND WILL BE
CHECKED AT EACH MEAL.
3. SINCE MEAL TICKETS
ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE , ANY
STUDENT LENDING HIS
MEAL TICKET WILL LOSE HIS
TI CKET UNTIL HE OR SHE
HA S BEE N NOTIFIED AND
A PPR OPRI ATE A CTION HAS
BEEN TAKEN.
4.
STUDENTS
FOUND
BORROWING A TICKET WILL
BE ASKED TO EITHER PAY
FOR A MEAL OR LEAVE THE
DINING AREA.
The committee has deemed it
necessary t o endorse t hi s poli cy
because (A) students purchasing
a meal ticket pay according to
the costs rated on only the
average , not the total , number of
meals served any st u den t i n the
Commons each semester; (B)
non- ticket-hol ding students
un f a i r ly i ncrease th is average
and costs ; (C) the committee
strongly believes the student
body should no longer tolerate
any students abu sive of the
dining privileges others have
purchased.
This simply means if you own a
meal ticket, use it yourself. If you
need a meal ticket, buy one from
the business office or pay as you
go.

Freedom Should Be
Used and Not Abused
By Mike Yarmey
A lot of people have been using
the word " freedom " like most
people use shoes. Unfortunately
t he
freedom
lover 's interpre tation of the word doesn 't
coincide with most ot her 's interpretation of wha t that word
reall y means . The dif ferenc e
between these two meanings of
freedom is the word responsibility .
Freedom just doesn 't happen .
Though we, our generation , have
been born into a free society , we
shouldn 't disrega rd the fact that
our forefa thers fought for it ,
starting with the American
Revolu t ion . They fought for
everyone 's dream . Freedom . But
freedom cannot be maintained
and preserved without some typ e
of social order with regulations or
laws .
Today some cry that laws in-
fringe upon their freedom . One of
the freedom s in the news today is
that of freedom of speech . Yes ,
there are laws . But they aren 't
laws of a regul atory manner .
They don 't censor opinion but
rather they censor taste . A prime
example is on the campus. The
Gadfly is a politic al pa per which
is for the most part aga inst this
school administr ation and the
government administration . To
allow this paper to continue to
operate is called freedom of

majority of people in this country
(and it is a democratic country ,
where majority rules ) think four
let ter words ar e bad taste . They
are offensive , useless and
pointless and

lack
Freedom is riot automatic. It is
not there just for the asking. This
country is now fighting for our
right to uphol d and preserve our
freedom . We have a major threat
today called Communism. I do
not wish to go int o detail about
that at the pr esent time.
It should be 'remembered ,
however , that we, as individuals
are responsi ble for our action and
our use of our freedom .
Burning down ROTC buildings
is not our example of freedom of
speech or freedom of will.
I hope to avoid a lot of people
writing in , citing differen t instances or examples of their
freedoms being abused . Because
for every freedom they claim
being abused there can be 10
cited th at aren 't. And for every
freedom th at truly was abused ,
there can be 100 example s cited
where they are not. I hope none of
the idealists out there get all

Huskies End Season
With 12-8 Record
Despite a series of injuries to
key personnel and the toughest
schedule in the history of college,
the BSC College wrestfing team
ended its regular duel meet
season with a 12-8 record. The
Huskies concluded their season
Saturday night with a 22-14
victory over West Chester S.C.
Coach Russ Houk is now
preparing his charges for the
Penna . Conference Competition
to be held at Lock Haven State
College the Friday and Saturday,
March 5 and 6.
Two of the worst defeats suffered by the Huskies this season'
were at the hands of two
nationally ranked powerhouses,
Iowa State U. (28-6) and Ohio U.
(31-3). One other match, Eastern
Michigan U., was lost by one
point. Two matches, Miami of
Ohio and East Stroudsburg S.C,
were lost by two points ; BSC had
previously beat East Stroudsburg
by four points. The other three
losses to Clarion, Shippensbufg
and California , were lost by a
spread of 4 to 9 points.
The best record for the season
was posted by sophomore Floyd
"Shorty " Hitchcock , Stevensville, Pa., who wrestled at both
177 lbs. and 190 lbs. and finished'
19-1, including1 14 pins. The next
best Husky performer was senior
co-captain, Mike Shull, Newport,
at 118 lbs., who posted a 13-6-1
record with 6 pins. Sophomore
Ron Sheehan, Drexel Hill, who
wrestled at 177 lbs., 190 lbs., and
heavyweight, was injured twice
during this season, but finished ,
the duel meet competition with a
fall against "West Chester. Junior
Doug Grady , Hatboro, at 167 lbs.,
was a steady performer with a 96-3 record. Heavyweight ,

last eight meets after Wilkes
Champion , Jim McCue, Bernardsville, N.J., was injured ,
ended the season at 4-4. Another
break even ( 10-10) season was
posted by senior Wayne Smythe ,
Lancaster, at 142 lbs. and 150 lbs.,
who defeated some outstanding
opponents during his final year of
competition .
Coach Russ Houk has indicated
he will probably use the same
lineup in the PC Championships
this weekend t h a t went against
West Chester, namely: 118 lbs.Mike Shull ; 126 lbs.-Larry

Expand You r Creativit y
Everywhere today we are
confronted by forces which
threaten to dehumanize us as
persons . The purpose of the
human relations training of the
Community of the Spirit Protestant Campus Ministry is to
offer an alternative to this
situation and help shape new life styles for people. Two events
remain for the rest of the Spring
term which are still open for
participation by students.
Expanding Your Creativity is a
five-night lab for 3V2 hours per
night. It will be held April 23, and
April 26 through May 24 (four
Mondays). This is a lab experience
stressing
the
development of the creative
process and the unblockage of its
flow in individuals and their
environment , using art and
written materials. The focus is on
unplugging your creativity, but
broadly defined . All people are
creative; we seek in this lab to

Bids Open For Union
Opening of bids for the new
Student Union building has been
scheduled for Wednesday, April
7.
Boyd
F.
Buckingham ,
Associate Vice President for
Development and External Affairs, stated that if the total bids
are within the limit of $1,260,000
that has been allocated for the
project, it is hoped work can be
started this summer for a
tenative completion date of
September, 1972. However, if the
bids total more than the
allocation , there will be a delay
while efforts are made to obtain
the additional funds.
The new student union is to be
constructed on a site behind
Waller Hall and will include a
part of the area now occupied by
the old Husky Lounge.
Scrani on Report
Part Three
Excerpts from the study of
campus unrest by the now
famous Scranton Commission
were issued to the BSC faculty by
the AAUP . The M&G feels the
recommendations
of
the
Scranton Report are of interest to
all Americans.
Among the recommendations
made by the report are those for
the government, the President,
for law enforcement and for the
students .
university
and
Following are highlights of one
recommendation :
"We advance our recommendations not as cure-alls, but
as rational and responsive steps
that should be taken . We summarize here our major recommendations , addressed to those
who have the power to carry
them out."
We have deep sympathy for
law enforcement — for peace
officers — local and state police,
National Guardsmen and campus
security officers — who must
deal with all types of campus
disorder . Much depends on their
judgement ,
courage
and
professionalism.

Too frequently local police
forces have been undermanned,
improperly equipped , poorly
trained , and unprepared for
campus disturbances. We
therefore urge police forces,
especially those in smaller
communities, to improve their
capacity to respond to civil
disorders.
We recommend the development of joint contingency plans
among law enforcemen t agencies. They should specify which
law enforcement official is to be
in command when several forces
are operating together.
Sending civil aut horities on to a
college campus armed as if for
war — armed onl y to kill — has
brought tragedy in the past. If
this practice is not changed ,
tragedy will come again.
Shoulder weapons (except for
tear gas launchers ) are very
rarely needed on the college
campus; they sh ould not be used
except as emergency equipment
in the face of sniper fire or armed
resistance justifying them.
We recommend that National
Guar dsmen receiv e muc h more
training in controlling civil
disturbances. During the last
three years, the Guard has
played almos t no role in
Southeast Asia, but has been
called to intervene in civil
disorders at home more than 200
times .
We urge t hat the N at iona l
Guard be issued special
protection equipment appropri ate f or use i n control ling
civil disorders. We urge that it
have sufficient tactical capability
and non-lethal weaponry so that
it will use deadly force only as the
absolute last resort.
