Thursday, March 4, the eastern
United States was covered with 8
to 15 inches of snow . Though all
area schools were closed , BSC
held classes as usual. When
asked why, Dr. John Hoch, Dean
of the Faculties prepared the
following statement:
"A college is an institution of
higher education — not an
elementary school , junior high
school, or senior high school. A
college has two kinds of students,
according to place of residence —
resident or dormitory students
and students who are housed offcampus, some of whom commute
daily from their own homes.
"Bloomsburg State College, at
the present time, accommodates
approximately 2100 students in
residence halls on campus ; the
balance (approximately 1650
men and women) live off campus
— at least 350 of whom are
student teaching in off-campus
centers. Most of the commuters
live in an area within a radius of
twelve or fifteen miles from the
college.

On February 22, 1971, at 10:30
p.m. on the basement of Elwell
Hall a rap-in was held in order to
discuss student views concerning
various campus wide topics. Mr.
Michael Bonacci and Mr. John
Zarski , Assistant Deans of Men,
served as advisors to the small
group because of their cantact
with student personnel .
The topics were varied but they^
were primarily concerned with*
changes in residence halls ,
academic policies , hours of
various buildings, charge for
scheduling change , and food
service. Below are answers to the
questions presented at the
meeting.
The visitation policy will be
reviewed in the near future by a
special committee composed of
ARM representatives and interested students .
The lobbies of North and Elwell
Halls will now be opened to
women until 1:00 a.m., Sunday
through Thursday nights, and
2:00 a .m. on the weekends. Action
is being taken regarding the
transformation of a storage room
on the ground floor of Elwell into
a study area . This plan is now in
the hands of Mr. Garrey , further
information will be forthcoming.
The cut policy , as in the Pilot,
pp. 70-71, was questioned as to
why an unlimited amount of
"cuts " could not be accepted as
policy . Dean Hoch informed Mr.
Zarski that if anyone would want
a change in this policy they could
write to Dr. Thompson , chairman
of the Academic Affairs Committee .
Also , Dean Hoch supplied
answers concerning questions
about the final examination
policy and any possible calendar
changes . Both of these policies
are being reviewed by Senate
Task Forces. A reminder , any
calendar changes will be for 197273 , as the calendar for 1971-72 was

already drawn-up and accepted.
Longer Student Union hours
was suggested to Mr. Mulka,
Director of Student Acitivites, by
some students. Mr. Mulka replied
that the hours of the Student
Union are similar to those of
other state colleges, and in accordance with general women's
hours.
Reasons which prevent longer
hours of operations are primarily
cost and damages. Longer hours
would increase cost of utilities
and supervision , which could not
be possible under the present
budget. Damages, ranging from

Blass and Sachetti :
In my last article one poini
made was that of poor taste. This
was the pinnacle of poor taste.
Tell me, what do you know a bout
war except that it is hell, (we all
know that ). Do you know what
goes through a man 's mind in a
combat situation ? Can you
imagine how his insides are torn
apart by fear and disgust ? Can
you ever in your limited experiences , realize what a man
feels when he has to kill ? When he
asks himself why? Can you
imagine what happens to a man
when he sees one of his bud dies
holding his guts in his hands ,
crying for his mother?
Don 't you think anger , hate ,
revenge , fear and despai r
motivate a man to kill? Of course
they do!
I hate war just as much if not
more than the next. I was in one.
This one. I want peace also.
But I refuse to see throwing
awa y all the efforts , the lives, the
mutilated bodies — for nothing .

War tears a man apart. I know.
So do the the othe r vets on this
campus that were one of the 20
per cent that saw it , and experienced it. The killing. They
know what I' m talk ing about.
After going throu gh this war I
realize tha t peace with this
enemy cannot be had by an
idealistic dream of worl d
cooperation and unviersal peace.
The Commun ists are the enemy
of all freedo m loving people.
They are the aggre ssors. They
invaded South Vietnam , invaded
Laos and Cambodia . The Ho Chi
Minh trai l was there long before
the Americans entered South
Vietnam .
Then why tha t picture? wny
that one of the allied soldier
holdin g two enemy heads?
Why not one of the mass graves
of 3,000 civilians who buried alive
in Hue City , by the NVA? Why not
one of the two men I saw with
their eyes plucked out by the V.C.
Why hot one of the naked dead
marines I saw with his genitals
cut off and sewed in his mouth?
We are the murde rers , you say.
We kill people. You're damn right
when he has a gun pointed at your
head .
Let' s throw politics out the
window for a minute and discuss
man killing man , the fight for
survival , the law of the jun gle.
This picture is of an allied
soldier with two enemy heads.
Can you even attempt to probe an
oriental mind? These are backward , uncivilized people. Both
sides. Do you know what his
implications were by holding
those heads. War , makes animals
of all of us who have been in one
including Americans.
I , myself , had a very difficult
time try ing to adjust after
coming back from Nam. I began
to see all the fallacies of the
peace movement. They can 't
begin to understand why people
are willing to fight in a war .
These safe and secure civilians
do not and cannot ever imagine
the workings of a mind of
someone who has to kill or be
killed .
Now review my first set of
questions . Can you answer them?
No) You 've never experienced it.
The implications in your
caption are that Nixon and
Agnew and the others ignore the
grossness of war. I can 't believe
you are so naive.
My name isn 't one of those
mentioned , so I attempted to
answer this. I hope to God to say
that their idea of peace isn 't a
new invention or discovery , but
that everyone wants it and has
wanted since time past . Some
people still believe there are
values in life that they are willing
to p ro t ec t and de f end and
sometimes even die for .

REAL ITY 10 .

"It gets pretty depressing to
watch what is going on in the
world and realize that your
education is not equipping you to
do anything about it. " The
preceding is a quote from a
University of California senior.
She is not a radica l. Perhaps she
even expresses a majority
opinion amon g college students.
The universities of America do
not tea ch how to solve problems
but merely that they exist. They
encoura ge the student to learn a
specific trade by which he can
satisfy his persona l, self-centered
wants . The good of society and
the future of the wor ld is demoted
to a problem of secondar y status.
The problem seems to be that
courses are not organized in
relation to a centra l purpose or
vision of the world . They are
independent rather than inunif ying
terdependent.
A
philos ophy is non-existent.
Althou gh teachers have their own
personal ideologies , these are

continuum . There
coherence. The stude nt is unable
to distinguish between ideas

which are logically valid and
those which are not.
A course which places previo us
human experience into One Big
Picture is needed to determine
the goals of civilized man. This
course would be based on a
single , guiding concept which
would knot all strands of study
together and thereby create
coherence and visible purpose in
the university . One of the
primary objectives of such a
course would be to tea ch students
how to do something about what
is going on in the world .
A plausible unifying concepy
would be t h e survival of
mankind on this planet. There
are several interrelated and selfperpetuating conditions w h i c h
threaten tha t survival. Wars of
mass
destruction ,
overpopulation , pollution , and the
depletion of resources all stem
from the inability of twentieth
cen tury man to manage his affairs . Universities could be
devoted to the study of this
problem and the teaching of
solutions rather than the creation
of unenlightened specialists who

nbout a month ago, John
Wayne had the misfortune *tf
meeting up witfi a group of antiwar demonstrators in southern
California . The press was on
hand for the confrontation and it
was reported in a national
magazine. At one point , a
demonstrator waved a replica of
a Vietcong flag in the Duke 's
face . Wayne angrily shouted ,
"What the fuck is that?" The
demons trator later filed charges
against Wayne 's obscene public
outburst but the charges wer e
ignor ed. According to certain
officials , John Wayne was merely
" exercising his right of free
speech. " The only thing wrong
with this judgement is that it isn 't
always applied... unless you
happen to be John Wayne.
Arguing about word choices ,
either oral or written , is nonsensical. If anyone wishes to

by allan maurer
Staging the -MAN OF LA
MANCHA , the highly successful
musical presented by the
Bloomsburg
Players
last
Thurs day throughSaturday
nights at Haas , was itself the
completion of an "Impossible
Drea m ", according to William
Aeierno , who directed the play. ,
"I' ve wanted to do the play for
some time , now," Aeierno said ,
adding , "the desire to do LA
MANCHA had been germinating
in my mind for about three
years. "
When the final decision to do
the musical was made , however ,
problems arose almost immediately. They kept on arising
until gettin g the show under way
took on the aspect of an "Impossible Dream " .
"First , we didn 't have a conduc tor , " Aeierno said . "Then , we
got a conductor , Butch Linn ,
from Catawissa , but college
musicians thought the score for
the show too difficult to master in
the time they would ha ve, so we
didn 't have any musicians. Then ,
we got musicians , but we didn 't
have any money to pay them
with. So, we had to solicit funds. "
With financial aid from CGA
and Dr. Nossen , a i d wh i ch
boosted the confidence of the
players and theatre department
because it demonstrated that ,
others had conf idence in them ,
t he show f inall y got underwa y
full-steam , Aeiern o said. The
t roubles which p lagued the show
were not over though.
"Next, a ser ies of v iruses an d
illnesses wrea k ed havoc among
t he cas t, " the direc tor observed.
"Everyone involved with the
play , including myself , ended up
doing practically every part in
the play during rehearsals. In
f act , I t hi nk I played every part in
the show except Dulcinea , an d I
would have done her if it had been
necessary , " Aciernor said .
The v iruses passed , but the
trou bles didn 't. There were
difficulties with the set, with not
having enough tickets and
programs (unanticipated rush),
and then, even the weather
stepped in to dump several inches
of snow on the whole project.
Aeierno also noted other
aspects of doing the show which
made it something of an "Im-

possible Dream. " Bob Casey,
who played Don Quixote , the lead
in the show, lost upwards of 80
pounds because he wanted the
part.
"He wasn 't given any
guarantee that he's get the part ,"
Acierno said , "but he earned it" .
Noting that Casey had usually
been cast as a buffoon in BSC
prod uctions , Aciern o added ,
"he 's got a lot of untap ped
potential and this role gave him a
chance to show what he could do
with a serious part. "
There were quite a few freshmen faces in the La Mancha cast,
too, in lead roles , no less. And ,
although there were a lot of
"players " listed on the program ,
much of the cast did doubl e duty ,
serving also as makeup , wardrobe, an d stage per sonnel.
"Everyone was exhausted the
la st week of t he show ," Acierno
said . "I' ve been drivin g them so
ha rd that some of them came in.
and told me they 'd had nightmar es about me. Most of the
nightmares had me gettin g killed
in a num b er of .unsavor y wa ys. "
"The
final
production ,
howev er , was worth it all" ,
Acierno said , noting that , "I think
I sp eak f or ever yone involved
when I sa y this."
Acierno , who has direc ted over
2,000 TV shows, 200 films , inclu di n g commerc ials and
documen taries , and one that got
an award at an Austral ian f ilm
festi val , and 100 plays , as well as
being involved wit h 150 ot hers as
an ac t or or in some ca paci ty ,
feels the LA MANCHA produc tion was a good learning exp er i ence for him , and t he
students.
" I alwa ys wan ted t o be a
teacher ," he said. "I was in-

volved in education in one way or
another through

most of my

career ," he said . WQ ED , the

television station I worked for ,
was an educa tional station in
Pit tsburgh , I taught high school
in the Pittsburgh public schools ,
guest lectured at Carne gie Tech ,
now Carnegie Mellon University ,
where I received my MA in fine
arts and hope someday to earn
my PhD. Directing too, is a

In my last article one point
made was that of poor taste. This
was the pinnacle of poor taste.
Tell me, what do you know about
war except that it is hell, (we all
know that). Do you know what
goes through a man's mind in a
combat situation? Can you
imagine how his insides are torn
apart by fear and disgust? Can
you ever in your limited experiences, realize what a man
feels when he has to kill? When he
asks himself why? Can you
imagine what happens to a man
when he sees one of his buddies
holding his guts in his hands,
crying for his mother?
Don't you think anger, hate,
revenge, fear and despair
motivate a man to kill? Of course
they do!
I I hate war just as much if not
more than the next. I was in one.
This one. I want peace also.
But I refuse to see throwing
away all the efforts , the lives, the
mutilated bodies — for nothing.

which are logically valid and
those which are not.
A course which places previous
human experience into One Big
Picture is needed to determine
the goals of civilized man. This
course would be based on a
single, guiding concept which
would knot all strands of study
together and thereby create
coherence and visible purpose in
the university . One of the
primary objectives of such a
course would be to teach students
how to do something about what
is going on in the world.
A plausible unifying concepy
would be t h e survival of
mankind on this planet. There
are several interrelated and selfperpetuating conditions w h i c h
threaten that survival. Wars of
mass
destruction ,
overpopulation, pollution , and the
depletion of resources all stem
from the inability of twentieth
century man to manage his affairs . Universities could be
devoted to the study of this
problem and the teaching of
solutions rather than the creation
of unenlightened specialists who

cRl t ^ RlOM of

Blass and Sachetti :

"It gets pretty depressing to
watch what is going on in the
world and realize that your
education is not equipping you to
do anything about it. " The
preceding is a quote from a
University of California senior.
She is not a radical. Perhaps she
even expresses a majority
opinion among college students.
The universities of America do
not teach how to solve problems
but merely that they exist. They
encourage the student to learn a
specific trade by which he can
satisfy his personal, self-centered
wants. The good of society and
the future of the world is demoted
to a problem of secondary status.
The problem seems to be that
courses are not organized in
relation to a central purpose or
vision of the world. They are
independent rather than inunifying
terdependent.
A
philosophy is non-existent.
Although teachers have their own
personal ideologies, these are
merely points on a philosophical
con tinuum . "There is no
coherence. The student is unable
to distinguish between ideas

Biologists would point out

recycling. Economists would be
asked to generate ecologically

over the immediate dollar output .
The Political Science department

War tears a man apart. I know.
So do the the other vets on this
campus that were one of the 20
per cent that saw it , and experienced it. The killing. They
know what I'm talking about.
After going through this war I
realize that peace with this
enemy cannot be had by an
idealistic dream of world
cooperation and unviersal peace.
The Communists are the enemy
of all freedom loving people.
They are the aggressors. They
invaded South Vietnam , invaded
Laos and Cambodia. The Ho Chi
Minh trail was there long before
the Americans entered South
Vietnam.
Then why that picture? Why
that one of the allied soldier
holding two enemy heads?
Why not one of the mass graves
of 3,000 civilians who buried alive
in Hue City, by the NVA? Why not
one of the two men I saw with
their eyesplucked out by the V.C.
Why hot one of the naked dead
marines I saw with his genitals
cut off and sewed in his mouth?
We are the murderers , you say.
We kill people. You're damn right
when he has a gun pointed at your
head.
Let's throw politics out the
window for a minute and discuss
man killing man , the fight for
survival, the law of the jun gle.
This picture is of an allied
soldier with two enemy heads.
Can you even attempt to probe an
oriental mind? These are backward, uncivilized people. Both
sides. Do you know what his
implications were by holding
thoseheads. War , makes animals
of all of us who have been in one
including Americans.
I, myself , had a very difficult
time trying to adjust after
coming back from Nam. I began
to see all the fallacies of the
peace movement. They can 't
begin to understand why people
are willing to fight in a war .
These safe and secure civilians
do not and cannot ever imagine
the workings of a mind of
someone who has to kill or be
killed .
Now review my first set of
questions . Can you answer them?
No! You 've never experienced it.
The implications in your
caption are that Nixon and
Agnew and the others ignore the
grossness of war . I can 't believe
you are so naive.
My name isn 't one of those
mentioned , so I attempted to
answer this. I hope to God to say
that their idea of peace isn 't a
new invention or discovery, but
that everyone wants it and has
wanted since time past . Some
people still believe ther e axe
values in life that they are willing
to protect and defend and
sometimes even die for .

The pic was taken from TIME ,
from an article which also told of
grisly tortures inflicted upon
American POWs. Any similiar
picture would have served for the
caption I had in mind .

do awful things, things like '
killing. But — the guys in the pic
were killed already : what was
really sickening was the grin of
the head-bearer, bragging his
gory trophies to the camera and
the world. Sorry, but I don 't need
combat experience in Nam or
anywhere else to know that such
ac ti ons are sick en in g , as
sickening as what you have so
vividly
described.
Yes,
sickening ; I may be naive, but I
know such atrocities are as unnecessary as war itself , be these
crimes aginst humanity perpetrated by the dread legions of
real or imagined Commies-forworId-dominion, or by the United
States of America. Sickening,
yes, more sickening, disgusting,
obscene, than anything I'd ever
heard or read before. But some
people get more offended by fourletter "obscenities" than by such
pictures.

some people have no sensibilities

An Open Letter to
Make Yarmey
ribout a month ago, John
Wayne had the misfortune of
meeting up with a group of antiwar demonstrators in southern
California. The press was on
hand for the confrontation and it
was reported in a national
magazine. At one point , a
demonstrator waved a replica of
a Vietcong flag in the Duke's
face. Wayne angrily shouted,
"What the fuck is that?" The
demonstrator later filed charges
against Wayne's obscene public
outburst but the charges were
ignored. According to certain
officials , John Wayne was merely '
"exercising his right of free
speech." The only thing wrong
with this judgement is that it isn't
always applied...unless you
happen to be John Wayne.
Arguing about word choices,
either oral or written, is nonsensical. If anyone wishes to
eradicate certain "ob scene "
words from the language, he
should concentrate on nigger,
gook, and others which transcend
any definition of obscenity . These
words are pyschologically
harmful . Aside from racial slurs,
the most offensive language I've
encoun tered is Melvin Laird 's
"progress reports" on the Laos
invasion. Our present Administration bases its criterion of
success on body counts and last
week Mr. Laird was at it again ,
attempting
to
appease
outrageous Senate doves by
citing the "impressive kill
ratios " that the ARVN (Army of
South Vietnam ) has been compiling . This gloating over
genoicide (and a planned ,
systematic invasion is genocide)
conjures up remembrances of
n ightmares past : Eichmann
calmly reading the Auschwitz
death lists before going, to bed .
Me '"in Laird has execrable taste,
but that' s merely one of h is
freedoms.
Look aroun d, Mr. Yarmey , and
you 'll readily see that there are
no a bsolutes in the world.
Nothing is inherently right or
inherently wrong. Killing is
wrong , un less you 're In a war.

Why doesn't TRAIN complain
about our staunch governmental

militaristic
government of
,
Greece which uses torture as a
means of crushing political
resistance ? Why don 't they advocate breaking off all ties with
Spain , a Fascist dictatorship?
I agree that responsibility
comes with freedom , but I fail to
see where Richard Nixon is
acting responsibly by toying with
my life, the lives of my friends ,
an d t he lives of hundreds of
thousands of other people. I also
fail to understand your particular
line of reasoning , Mr. Yarmey,
when you talk of the abus ing of
freedoms. You state that "for
every freedom that truly was
-abused , there can be 100
exam ples cited where the y are
not. " Does that justify the one
case ? I f one st uden t is murdered
by the Nationa l Guard , but 100
aren 't , does that justify it? If one
b lack man is shot b y an edgy cop,
but 100 black men live, does t ha t
justify it? Mr. Yarmey, if one
ROTC building is burned to the
ground , but one hundred ot her
arson att empt s are foiled , does
that justify it? I' m an idealist and
r igh t now I adm it being a bi t
hyper , but I certainly am not
play ing a childish game.
You have my absolute support
when you say, " We as citizens
have every right to enjoy our
freedoms. But we must
remember that these freedoms
do not entitle us to infringe upon
someone else's freedoms." As a
h uman being, I ha ve a right to
enjoy my freedom to survive. I
want no one to infringe upon that
most cherished of freedoms.
(Inci dentally , a parody is
rarely used on something that
doesn 't already exhibit a considerable amount of ineptness.)
John Stugrin

Editor :
I think Mr. Yarmey should do
some research before he writes
his articles where he blows off
some steam.
FIR ST

In hi& article he states that
communism is a threat to our
system. I wonder where he gets
his information . I presume by
communism he means the
1T .S.S.R., well this is to inform:
IMr . \ arme y is a socialistic,
country not a communistic one.
Commun ism is not bad when
used right. The Catholic Church
has proven this. Most of the
Catholic Church is communist ;
take the monistar ies for instance.
When someone joins it they own
nothing, not even i the clothes on
their backs , and when they die
they leave nothing bu t memor ies
behind them , because tha t' s all
they have.
Russia is a socialistic state
slowly mov ing to a capitalistic
one. The United States is a
capitalistic state going to a
socialistic one. Eventually they
will meet in mid-stream ; they
will not go to the opposite ext reme f rom where they star ted.
SECOND
H e st a t es t ha t for ever y
f reedom abused he could stat e
ten t ha t were not; my re ply is: Is
ki lling one p erson alr igh t because
you didn 't kill ten others?
ALSO
And for my information I would
like to know from Mr. Yarmey
what he thinks of the War in
Vietnam. Because about 3 years
ago , the allies launched an offensive where they took a hill
called Hamburg Hill at the cost of
500 American lives. They held it
for a week, and then left it
because the government said it
was costing too much to hold even
though there were no enemy
assaults on it. Two weeks later
the Americans took it over again
at the cost of 550 lives to our side.
The government put a price on
lives, so to speak , and I feel that
there is no price tag for a human
life.
N.D.R.
John Stugrin,
You had me fooled. I thought
you knew you didn't like cops.
Best wishes for success in your

Grapplers
Finish
Year
After a season of 12 wins and 8
losses and then going on to the
Conference
Pennsy lvania
Tournament and finishing fifth ,
the Husky matmen under the
coaching of Russ Houk could call
this year nothing but fanta stic.
Going into a tough line-up of
matches was bad enough but add
to that the injuries to some of the
prime grapplers and you have the
ingredients for an interesting
season .
Shorty Hitchcock's 19-1 record
for the year cannot be overlooked
nor can his first place at the
Penna .
Conference
State
Championships.
The same is true of others on
the wrestling squad such as Ron
Sheehan , Mike Shull , Randy
Watts , Wayne Smythe and Tiny
Hummel. All of these guys and
others, pulled together and put
together what it takes to make a
winning team.
To Coach Houk and the
members of the 1970-71 wrestling
squad we say Congratulations .

BSC finished its 1970-71
basketball season with five
straight victories. This enabled
the Huskies to post an overall
winning season of 11-9 and a
Pennsylvania Conference record
of 5-9.
Leading scorer for the team
was senior Jim Platukis, West
Hazleton, who averaged 20.7
points per game and was second
leading rebounder with 11.7 per
game. Platukis climaxed his
college career by outstanding
performances in the final two
games of the season last week
against Lock Haven S.C. and
Shippensburg S.C. As a result of a
52 point two game total, hitting on
.687 shooting and collecting 26
rebounds, he was named to the
ECAG All-East Division III
Basketball Team for that week.
Two weeks ago he received
honorabl e mention in the

in rebounding averaging 13.8 per
contest. Junior Paul Kuhn.
Lebanon , and senior Dennis
Mummey, West Hazleton,
averaged 14.4 and 14.3 pp?
respectively.
Coach Earl Voss attributes the
success of the fine team play of
the final six games, starting with
the Cheyney game February 10,
to the performances of
sophomore Art Luptowski,
Ridley Park , who, with his ball
handling, ball hawking , and
scoring, provided the spark that
seemed to be missing most of the
season. Luptowski worked hand
in hand with senior playmaker,
Tom Wilson, Elkins Park, who
led the team in total assists and
Kuhn, who was second in total
assists. When Luptowski broke
into the starting unit, Mummey
was used as the sixth man to
come off the bench for needed
scoring punch.
Coach Voss was a fine nucleus
of nine players from this years
squad, plus several players from
this year's freshmen squad, to
form his 1971-72 aggregation.

left in the second period. To get to
the finals, Sheehan wrestled Glen

next opponent was Ken Bloss of
Kutztown who was pinned by
Sheehan in 4:24 seconds. Next
Ron defeated Bill Shuffstall of
Slippery Rock 5-2 in the second

behind in his match with
Panarella but capitalized on a
mistake by his opponent which
led to his inevitable pinning.

last year's champion at 190,
George Eross of Slippery Rock
when he pinned Eros in 7:35.

PART
Scranfo n Rep
or
t
r

The following is the fourth in a
' , series of excerpts from the study
of campus unrest by the now
famous Scran ton Commission.
Every university must improve
its capability for responding
effectively to disorder . Students,
faculty , and trustees must
support these efforts . Universities must pull themselves
together.
For The University
The university should be an
open forum where speakers of
every point of view can be heard .
The area of permitted speech and
conduct should be at least as
* broad as that protected by the
First Ammendment.
The
university
should
promulgate a code making clear
the limits of permissible conduct
and announce in advance what,
measures it is willing to employ
in response to impermissible
conduct. It should strengthen its
disciplinary process. It should
assess the capabilities of its
security force and determine
what role, if any, that force
should play in responding to
disorder.
When criminal violence occurs
on the campus, university officials should promptly call for
the assistance of law endorcement agencies.
When faced with disruptive but
the
nonviolent
conduc t ,
universities should be prepared
to respond initially with internal
measures. It must clearly understand the options available to
it and be prepared to move from
one to another if it is reasonably
obvious that an earlier tactic has
failed .
Faculty members who engage
in or lead disruptive conduct
have no place in the university
community.
The university , and particularly the faculty must
recognize that the expansion of
higher education and the
emergence of the new youth
culture have changed the
makeup and concerns of today's
student
population.
The
university should adapt itself to
these new conditions. We urge
that the university make its
teaching programs , degree
structure, and transfer and leave
policies more flexible and more
varied in order to enhance the
quality and voluntariness of
university study.
We call upon all members of
the university to affirm that the
proper functions of the university
are teaching and learning,
research and scholarship. An
aca demic commun ity best serves
itself , the country , and every
principle to which it is devoted by
concentrating on these tasks.
Academic institutions must be
free—free from outside interf erence , and free from internal intimidation. Far too
many people who should know
better—both within the university communities and outside
them—have forgotten this first
principle of academic freedom.
The persuit of knowledge cannot
con tinue wi thout the free exchange of ideas.
Obviously , all members of the
aca demic community , as individuals, should be free to
participa te actively in whatever
cam p a i gns or causes they
choose. But universities as institutions must remain politically
neutral, except in those rare
cases in which their own integrity , educational purpose, or
preservation are at stake.
One of the most valid criticisms
of many universities is that their
faculties have become so involved in outside research that
their commitment to teaching
§eema compromised. We urge

FOUR

universities and faculty members to reduce their outside
service commitments . We
recognize that alternative
sources of university funding will
have to be developed to take the
place of the money attached to
these outside commitments .
Realistically , this will mean
more unrestricted government
aid to higher education .
Large universities should take
steps to decentralize or
reorganize ,to make possible a
more human scale.
University governance
systems should be performed to
increase participation of students
and faculty in the formulation of
university policies that affect
them. But universities cannot be
run on a one man one vote basis
with participation of all members
on all issues.
Universities must become
t r u e communities whose
members share a sense of
and
tolerance ,
respect ,
responsibility for one another.

conduct of the war by America's
leaders has made their position
so untenable that no rational
person could possibly support it.
MacArthur solemnly warned us
that the only kind of a war in
which we should NEVER engage
was with ground forces on the
continent of Asia. Vet our leaders
have elected Asia as the place to
"fight communism " where we
are at the greatest possible
disadvantage; where Americans ,
suited neither by nature nor
training, are forced to fight as
guerillas in sv/amps against
enemies, to whom dirt , starvation , and disease are as normal
as the hot climate ; where the
vast number of the enemy, who
shows no respect for human life,
offers a bottomless reservoir for
the replacements for those who
are killed ; and where our supply
lines are the longest, most difficult and the most costly to
maintain. Is such "bungling" by
design or by accident?
If fighting communism be our
leaders' objective, how is it that
they have not seen the threat in
Cuba which is right on eur
doorstep?
Since
its
"deliverance" into communist
hands, it has consistently served
as a center for the training and
exporting of violent internal
subversion throughout the
Western Hemisphere, and has
more recently completed a
Russian-manned submarine base
capable of servicing Soviet
nuclear submarines carrying
missies destined for American
cities. Even aside from these
overriding considerations , in
Cuba the supply lines and style of
fighting would be with us instead
of the enemy. Nevertheless, our
leaders "fight communism" on
the other side of the world at our
greatest possible expense and at
our least possible benefit.

Theta Gam
Is Tri-Sig
Nationally

Theta Gamma Phi's daisy will
not be standing alone anymore; it
has become part of a much
larger , nation-wide bouquet of
violets. As of March 1, 1971, the
sisters of Theta Gam have accepted affiliation with the
national sorority Sigma Sigma
Sigma and have thus become the
first national sorority colony at
the Bloomsburg campus.
Tri Sigma , as it is more
commonly called , was found on
April 20, 1898, and has its
headquarters
in
Walton ,
Virginia. The Sigma Sisterhood
has grown and expanded until it
has reached its present roll call of
34 ,000 sisters in 75 chapter
houses.
The Theta Gamma Phi affiliation makes Bloomsburg the
eighth chapter house in Pennsylvania. On March 28, the former Theta Gam 's will meet all
their Pa. sisters from Drexel,
Indiana University , Lock Haven,
Clarion , Slippery Rock, Edinboro, and California at a special
Tri Sigma Pennsylvania Day to
be held at the California Chapter
House.
The Spring 1971 pledge class of
Tri Sigma is as follows: Patty
Pletcher — President , Sue
Kavetski , Mary Ellen Zukas,
Linda Zyla , Patti Noble, Denise
Martinkovic , Jane Derstine ,
Julie Balanda , Karen O'Neill,
Fran Holgate, Janice Eisworth,
Kyle Benson, Melanie Chowka,
Maria Orlando, Pat Narciewicz,
Carol Young, and Linda Sterner.
