" Project 70'; Referendum Vote

The voters of Pennsylvania will go to the polls on November 5, for a
general election. In this general election they will decide if "Proj ect 70"
is to become a reality.
"Proje ct 70" consists of securing bonds amounting to seventy million
dollars for the acquisition of land for state parks, reservoirs, and other
conservation, recreation and historical preservation purposes. If the bill
should be passed, "Project 70" will ultimately result in such benefits as
regional and community parks. Better hunting and fishing facilities will
also become available.
John A. Hoch, Acting President , has appointed a special committee
to determine the various areas in which the College can be of benefit to
"Proj ect 70." Members of this committee " are Mr. Thaddeus Piotroski ,
Assembly projectual; Mr. Gerrold Hart , Bulletin Board Display; Mr.
Kenneth Wilson, Benjamin Franklin Elementary Laboratory School —
Art ; Dr. Royce Johnson , Benj amin Franklin Elementary Laboratory
Unit; Dr. Bruce Adams, Assembly ; Dr. Mary Homrighous, Assembly ;
and Bruce Dietterick, Public Relations.
The plan of "Project 70," In brief 'is:
To acquire land for development of new regional State
parks in 43 critical urban counties.
To acquire wooded land and stream valleys, and thus ini
crease fish and wildlife. •
To enable local communities to provide additional open
space i'or recreational and scenic purposes.
To encourage and assist development of three new Federal
recreational facilities , each containing large man-made lakes.
To provide .' sites for future construction of multi-purpose
reservoirs necessary to protect Pennsylvania's water.
To stimulate further development of resorts and vacation
areas, and thus increase Pennsylvania 's potential as a vacationland.
To preserve the many historical landmarks In which Pennsylvania is so richly endowed to the cultura l benefit of All
Americans as well as our own residents.
Bloomsburg State College is giving its full support to "Proj ect 70"
and is urging that you , the students, provide your support for the referendum, November 5. If you are not eligible to vote, it is urged that you
contact your friends and relatives asking that they support the referendum when they cast their ballot, •

Research Pap ers
F iled In Libra ry

Research proj ects written by
students working on their Master's
degree are on file now in the BSC
Library.
In partial fulfillment of the requirem ents for obtaining a Master
of Education degree, each graduate
student must write a research proj ect on some problems of education
or of a related academic field. Upon
receiving his degree, the student
must leave with the college three
copies of this research proj ect, two
of which are bound. One of these
copies is placed on file in the graduate office while the other is placed
in the library.
BSC's library has begun its collection of these research projects.
The first of these was written by
Arthur Hontz, who received his degree in May. Since then, seven of
the twelve which were written by
the students who received their
degrees in August, have been added. For your convenience, these
books will be kept on permanent
reserve.

College :Competition & Pressures?

Why do we come to college? This is a question frequently asked' by
many students after they have begun their studies. There seems to be a
gradual development of discontentment with college even though the
individual student may enjoy college life. A number of factors may
contribute to this situation.
Student Suicide
All over our nation the many demands — intellectual pursuit and
emotional — are taking their toll j n the increasing number of mental
breakdowns. In some instances, youthful suicides. A recent survey at
Yale showed that suicide is the second most common cause of student
death next to accident. Nationally, suicide is the sixth most common
cause of death among people of the same general age group.
Pressures and College
What causes these many disturbances among our college population ?
Many new pressures have been put on students by the American dream of
education itself. The idea of college for everyone and the importance
attached by our society to a college degree have created a whole new
set of pressures on young people.
Parental "Push"
Many parents are guilty of enforcing this new trend. In their eagerness to have their children succeed, they may fail to hear the cries of
distress against the plans they have for their children. This is illustrate d
by the fact that many parents try to dictate the child's choice of career.
They claim that they "know what is best" for their child. Th ese same
parent s do n ot rea li ze t h at it is th e vocat ion h e will h ave f or th e rest
of his life ; therefore, he should choose "it on his own from his interests
and abilities.
Higher Standards
Competitive pressures are also causing many students "to break."
Colleges themselves are responsible for this situation by raising the admission stan dard s, increasing the course requirement, t h us encoura gin g
a genera l tone of intense competit ion amon g stu dents to remain , for at
t imes a quota is pl aced on t h e number of students t h at will rema in i n
college. This increased academic competition harms the extremely bright
students as well as the less able ones. A more cooperative , permissive ,
or int imate atmosph ere i s need ed rat h er t h an a highly compet i t ive one
which may become unendurable.
Student Identity
A crisis also arises when a student is unable to identify himself. The
studen t must choose a curriculum in which he can do well in order that
he may identify himself with a positive achievement. Also along the lines
of identity, social activities must be chosen so he may again identify himself as a person in our society.
Th e youn g coll ege stu dent of today must t h us be rea dy to face t h ese
along with many oth er probl ems in or der to answer t h e quest ion "Why
do we come to college ? "

Nothing, however, adds more to

are characterized , moreover, by

by Jennifer Smith
Among the things in which BSC
is sadly lacking are 8. few really
rousing college songs. We all complain because few people show up
at pep rallies; perhaps if they were
given something really interesting
to say , more people would show up.
A student must be able to identify
wit h a song before he can really
become involved in it. This is a little difficult , with a song such as
"My Girl' s a Hullabaloo" inasmuch
as most people don 't even know
w h at a "hullabaloo" is.
Rowdy' Renovations
Bloomsburg might do well to
h ave a few tru ly rowdy songs like
"Rambling1 Wreck," which is from
Georgia Tech. It's much more f un
to sing

much enthusiasm. Just consider
the spirit with which the student
body would shout "Like all good,
jolly fellows I drink my whiskey
clear." Lyrics such as these are
close to a student's heart.
Perhaps, we could develop something for Bloomsburg along these
lines. An example might be:
I'm a rattling crate

a hell of a sandbox eng ineer!

Quinn and Masina
Excel In Stra da

by Linda Williams
La Strada, t h e stor y of a youn g
girl, Geisomina, wh o h as never
grown u p mentally , an d Zampano,
a vagabond carnival worker, who
li ves for hi s own interests, i s an
extremely entertaining film. The
plot is the ' relatively simple an d
poignant story of the strange attachment which develops between
Geisomina and Zampano.
Geisomina and Zampano
Geisomina realizes her feelings
for Zampano and remains loyal to
him through a series of events
which illustrate Zampano's viciously brutal character. When Zampano kills another carnival worker , Geisomina is deeply affected ,
an d she strongly blames Zampano.
Impatient with her, Zam p ano
abandons Geisomina and resumes
his traveling ,only to be haunted by
the memory of this simple-minded,
quiet girl. Severa l years later,
when he learns of her death , he
seems completely crushed , and he
fully realizes what she ha d meant
to him.

Brilliant Acting
Anthony Quinn as Zampano and
Guilctta Manilla as Geisomina gave
excellent performances. Even without an understanding of the Italian language, the viewer could
sense the projection of character.
Quinn is a savagely cruel , barbaric
vagrant who is extremely selfish
and his character contrasts strongly to that of Miss Masina 's, who is
immediately felt to be a simple, .
pathetic girl forced to live with
Zampano against her will. Guiletta
Masina also injects several touches
of humor by her actions and facial
expressions which were thoroughly
enj oyable.

in the farthest niche of this catacomb when the ten o'clock "lights

A. A. STAGG MEDAL
TO TOP GRIDDERS
( Continued from page 4)
Stagg was selected for Walter
Camp's first all American football
team during his playing days, and
at Yale, was named "Coach of the
Year " at the age of 83. He introduced to football such basics as
numbers on jerseys, the huddle,
an d such scientific techniques as
the T-formation.
Medal To Be Awarded
Durin g the pep rally on Novelnber 8, representatives of the M&G
will present the Amos Alonzo Stagg
medals to those Husky gridders
who have been chosen "Player of
the Week" by the Bloomsburg football coaching squad. The medal is
on display in the trophy window
across from the college post office.

Right and wrong in human acts
should be discussed in the same
temper as good and bad in things.
— Thomas Aquinas
Some Drawbacks
The plot was good and the acting
was excellent. There were, however, several faults which were immediately evident to the viewer.
The fact that the movie was in
Italian was a definite disadvantage
to the audience, and it decreased
the enjoyment of the film considerably. The subtitles were not always realistic and they couldn't
convey the true meaning of the
spoken word. In several sections of
the film , the subtitles were missing entirely, and the viewer was
forced to guess at what was being
said. The system of subtitling,
however, is one of the necessary
drawbacks in viewing a foreign
film.
La Strada, a typical example of
Folllnf a artistry, was an excellent
film. La Strada fits well into flne
tradition of such FelUnl films as
Boccacio 70 and La Dolce Vita ,

Letters To
The Editor

(Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's opinion
and do not necessarily reflect the views
of the newspaper.)

Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on two
points brought out in the letters of
last week concerning the judging
of th e "floats. "
The first point concerns the complaint aimed at the criteria which
the judges used in deciding the
winner. Perhaps if the committee
which chooses the judges would ask
all the . judges, at the very least,
one week in advance it would help
stabilize the procedure. Furthermore if that same committee would
notify the judges about the criteria
for j udging a little more than five
minutes in advance (perhaps*1adding that they should bring their
own paper and pencil ) this too
would help.
The second point is actually the
one which disturbs me the most.
This is the implication shared by
the writers that whatever takes
longest and most work is then obviously the BEST. To me one object of an education is to teach
people to do better things in a
shorter amount of time. However,
if I am wrong, then please allow
me to suggest a specific set of criteria by which the entries may be
judged in future y ears. Require
each group to keep a detailed record on 1) how long they have
thought about their floats , 2) how
many hours each person has worked on t he flo at , 3) how much money was spent , 4) how may tissues
were stuffed into how many holes,
and any other categories which
might be suitable. Then the judges
would just have to add up all the
totals and multiply by the number
of wheels to find the winner—all
very obj ective !
This fallacious emphasis on effort alone is dangerous in that it
penetrates the classroom and encourages the students to believe
that they should be graded on the
time and effort spent on assignments rather than the quality and
originality of their work. I fear
that this may be indicative of the
American system of education , if
not of the American way of life.
— Amy J. Short

Forensic Society
Include s Orat ory

The BSC Forensic Society, which
in the past has been concerned
solely in debating, is now broadening its scope to include a division
of oratory. The main obj ective of
this new group is an Intra-college
Oratorical Contest which will be
held in December. The contest will
be composed of two speaking categories, extempore and oral interpretation of both poetry and prose.
Prizes will be awarded to the winner in each division.
Meeting Planned
Any person who would be interested in competing in either of
these categories is asked to come
t o Room 11 of Science Hall at 4:00
p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28. Previous
experience in speech contests is not
necessary. Information and help in
these speaking areas will be given
at the Monday meetings.
If our college contest is successful, the society hopes to send
speakers to some of the intercollegiate oratorical contests held
at colleges and universities in the
state.

Neil Mercando Is
Play er of Week

Player of the Week : Neil Mercando
This week's "Player of the Week"
selection is Neil Mercando, 5'9",
200 lb., junior tackle from Forty
Fort, Pa. He was selected by Coach
Blair and his staff on the basis of
the determination and dedication
he has demonstrated for BSC
throughout the season. Neil plays
both offense and defense, going
both ways against teams which use
a platoon system. The platoon system is one in which a team alternates players on offense and defense in order to give each man a
brief rest. By using this system, a
learn can usually wear down a
player who goes both ways. This
year Neil, despite the odds of a
platoon system working against
him, has played a steady brand of
good football.
Second Year in Row
Neil is majoring in Biology. He
'earned a Maj or "B" in football last
year and i§ one of two players to
be given a "Player of the Week"
award for two consecutive years.
He is also active in BSC's Intramural Wrestling program.

Fumble In the 3rd Quarter
by Fred Saxton

The Bloomsburg Huskies came
out on the short end of a 6-0 defensive battle Saturday at Millersville. The winners capitalized on a
third quarter fumble for the score.
Neither team could mount their
offense for a sustained drive ; rule
infractions combined with fumbles
and interceptions were the order
of the day. On the first set of
downs for the Huskies a Bob Kurzinsky pass was picked off and returned to the BSC 20; but , spirited
line work stopped the Millersville
drive and the Huskies took over.
Relied on Short Passes
Coach Blair's charges could not
get their ground game rolling and
relied mostly on short passes from
quart erback Kurzinsky to Dick
'Davala and Wayne Thomas. When
the Huskies went for the long
bomb, the Marauders line, time and
'aeain. SDilled Kurzinskv for a loss.
Scoring Opportunity
The Huskies best scoring opportunity came early in the third
quarter. Mechanicsburg senior Roy
Peffer boomed a fantastic fortyfive yard punt, which rolled out of
bounds on the Millersville six inch
mark. Bloom's defensive efforts put
the opposition in a punting situa'tion on their own twenty. And
when a bad pass from center went
over the head of the punter and
out of bounds on the two, it looked
like the Huskies ' ball; but , an off
sides infraction gave the Marauders another chance to punt out of
danger .
The climax came with 14:13 left
in the third period. Game Captain
Peffer intercepted a Millersville
aerial and returned it to his own
16; but on the second play from

Critchfield pounced on a Husky
fumble. Three plays later Marauder Captain Bob Misaros bulled the
final six yards from his fullback
slot for the score. The placement
was wide but Millersville had
scored enough for the victojy . The '
Huskies tried to come back as Davala made a circus catch at mid'field but a penalty on the next play
moved the ball back again. Davala
again made a grab good for twen ty
yards but another Husky rule infra ction kept them away from the
goal. Millersville's def ense held
during the remainder of the fourth
quarter to send the Huskies do\vn
to their fourth defeat of the season.

Around the BSC campus there
seem to be many "Monday morning quarterbacks " who tell one .and
all why the Huskies lost and how
they could've won. These secondguessers are alw ays critical of
Husky play but never offer any
sensible solutions to the .problems
they criticize. And , whenever the
Huskies win, these grandstand
coaches are not heard from—they
have no congratulatory remarks
to make. They sulk, anxious for
th e Husky gridders to lose so they
may "spou t off" again.
