At the same time, the members voted to keep the group

The movement to dissolve the. fraternity was a result of
strained relations between the local chapter and the na-*

Miscalculation

President Mike Yekenchick revealed to the members at
a previous meeting that the local officers had come across
a miscalculation on the part of the national organization,
resulting in an overpayment of dues by the local chapter
of about $300.00 in the last three or four years, for which
the local received no credit.
No Official Charter
Upon investigation it was found that the national organization does not have an official charter, meaning that the
national organization is not an organization by legal terms,

director of the Madrigal Singers.
During the second part of the
program, the Concert Choir, under
the direction of Mr. Decker, will be
accompanied by an orchestra comprised of players from BSC, Southern Area High School, and professional string players assembled by
Ferdinand Liva from Scranton. This
is the first time that a full orchestra has been used by the Choir for
a concert.
The seventy-five members of the
Choir will be singing music of
Mendelssohn, Sweelinck, Hassler,
and Bach for the two Christmas
presentations. Soloists include: Rebecca Ehret, soprano; Susan Harper, alto; Ralph Miller, tenor; and
Timothy Hoffman, bass.

A unique Christmas program bringing together the
Madrigal Singers, the Concert
Choir, and the Bloomsburg
Players will be presented at
8:15 p.m. December 10 and 12
in Carver Auditorium.
Opening the program, the Madrigal Singers and the Bloomsburg
Players will present The Second
Shepherds Play combining medieval music with a 14th century morality play. The play has had four
previous performances: one at
Pennsylvania State University, one
at East Stroudsburg State College,
and two at Bloomsburg. Presented
in a production true to the original

Bucknell Trip
"Yesterday, " said Mattfield , "We
went to Bucknell to see the play*
'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'
and 'in one last meeting before
Christmas vacation we are going
to visit the home of Professor Jordan Richman who will disciiss his
hobby of violins and classical music."
Since BSC is located so near a variety of colleges there are excellent
opportunities to attend dramas and
lecture series.
Information And Fun
Mattfield commented, "A most
important service is making sure
that members are informed of what
is in the area and then trying to
attend the performances. And of
course we're concerned with having some fun, in the process."
Last Thursday the club held a
discussion on the modern life and
academic institutions mentioned in
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Future Plans
Future plans revealed by Mattfield include a talk to be given by
Professor Gerald Strauss in ("Mysteries; " a panel discussion on censorship, which will be taped and
then published; a poetry reading
contest and a literary contest.
"In general," said Mattfleld , "the
English Club is primarily an organization where members can express
their views on anything of interest."

Council is making general arrangements permitting private cars to be
used for transportation. If and
when this permission is secured, it
will be up to each student to properly register his car for the period
allotted.
The Council is also arranging for
late permissions for all girls concerned. There is also the probability that dinner at the Commons
will be moved back to 11:00 on Sunday morning.
Boston added that the "Winter

Giants Can Roam
Today 's Landscape

Edito rial
Commentary
Winter Weekend for BSC has
been approved by College Council
and the Office of the President. This
marks the fulfillment of the first of
five goals set two weeks ago by
President Steve Boston for his administration.
President Boston and his administration are to be commended for
the way in which they have conducted the planning for the second
big social weekend of the .year.
The CGA chief executive has
stressed from the beginning that
the various CGA committees should
assume the responsibility for investigating and planning the event.
This is in line with his premise
that members of his official family,
the committee chairmen, should be
delegated more responsibility in
student government.
These committee heads investigated the facilities available for skiing and winter recreation in our
area and decided upon Elk Mountain after comparing costs and facilities *of the various resorts contacted.
Members of the Huski Club and
other skiing enthusiasts whom we
interviewed told us1 the price schedule for skiing as announced by
Council is quite reasonable in comparison with regular rates.
Most members of the male community of the college breathed a
sigh of relief when President Boston announced his stand that "dutch
treat" should be the order of the
day. Otherwise, the weekend could
very well have turned out to be
sparsely attended or the biggest
"stag " party of the year.
The Council has done its share in
upgrading the social status of BSC
to a great extent by providing the
opportunity. . .it's up to the student
body now to take advantage of the
opportunity.
(P.S.: Start saving your pennies today.)

MORE CHANGES: The M&G staff

continues to experiment in an effort to present a more attractive
and effective newspaper. Our readers will notice that we have
change d the family of type employed for headlines and the flag.
Comments and constructive criticism of these and any other points
are always welcomed in our office.

Pcnn State, University Park, Pa.
Our folklore is full of notable giants such as Paul Bunyan, Cyclops,
and that unfortunate fellow that
Jack killed.
No such thing as giants? And why
not?
There are two simple regulations
that rule out the existence of giants, explains Robert F. Sehmalz,
associate professor of geology.
One is that the weight of an obj ect is proportioned to the cube of
its size.
But the strength of his skelton
is porportional to only the square
of the size. The man whose height
was doubled and whose weight
was not eight times as great as
before, would therefore be only
four times as great as before , would
therefore be only four times as
strong.
The relationship then, explains
Sehmalz, is between two factors
which increase at different rates.
As the cross-sectional area (size)
increases, the strength increases
too—but not as ,fast as the weight,
and so it would lag farther and
farther behind.
Thus, by the time our imaginary man reached the size of a
house, his weight would be so great
that his structure could not support
him.' The bones of his body would
not be strong enough to handle'his
tremendous weight and he would
collapse helplessly onto the ground.
The maximum speed at which a
body will fall in air is determined
by the ratio of weight to surface
area. If weight increases as the
cube of the size, surface area increases only as the square of size.
Thus, a small animal will fall more
slowly ( and hit bottom more
slowly) than a large one.
If you drop a rat down a mine
shaft, you 'll have one less rat. If
you drop a mouse, you might still
have the mouse. And an ant might
be dropped from a great height
without damage.
Does the weight-strength relationship mean that there is a maximum
size that animals can obtain?
Sehmalz says it depends upon the
medium in which the animal lives.
An animal that lives in the
ocean, for example, is bouyed up
by the water around it. It doesn't
matter, how large and heavy a creature becomes, because the water in
which it lives will support its body
regardless of how much strength it
lacks.
If a sea animal should be lucky
enough to always have a plentiful
supply of food on hand and never
fall victim to its natural enemies,
it could grow to fantastic proportions.
It may be that science has banished giants from the land.

Paul Hackenberry surveys 30 foot vertical drop while on a mapping exhibition in Aitkins Cave with some
fellow spelunkers from the Pittsburgh region.

SUBTERRANEA NS
"A Jou rney To The Center Of The Earth" Is A Reality ;
Bloo msbur q State 's Cavemen Like To Go Underg round

by Richie Benyo
"0, for a draught of vintage! that
has been cooled a long age in the
deep-delved earth ," wrote John
Keats, and there are several students at BSC who can literally fulfill his wish.
Spelunkers are cave explorers, or
perhaps more romantically, modern
cavemen. Here at BSC there are
presently about twenty such advocates, led by Paul Hackenberry
and Barry Scheetz, members of
the National Speleological Society,
sporting more than 100 and 80
hours underground respectively.
Subterranean Journey
When asked what prompts their
subterranean j ourneys, both Paul
and Barry could list several reasons: some humorously, like Barry 's: "You see, it's all Freudian;
there's this long, dark tunnel that
you are somehow compelled to go
through . . .," and . some quite
frankly serious: "It provides for a
spirit of adventure that is sometimes hard to find these days."
But it is not all for adventure or
for Freudian fulfillment. During
the trips Paul does a bit of mapping
for M.A.R. (Mid-Appalachian Region) corelating cave entrances and
plotting their winding courses;
Barry takes slides and pictures of
some of the rock formations that
they encounter, and hopes to be
able to do some extensive work
with flourescent lighting arrangements on various formations in the
near future.
Bloomsburg's Grotto

as one allows it to be," said Paul.
They then listed some of the safety
equipment they are in the habit of
carrying with them on their trips,
among which are three sources of
light (carbite lamp, flashligh t, and
candles) , first aid kits, hard hats,
ankle supports (in case of an injured ankle, support must be provided to help the injured person
from the cave), ropes and other
climbing equipment They also
stressed other basic safety precautions which serve as a type of spelunker's commandments, the principle one of which is to never explore alone. They seem to have
safety covered quite thoroughly, for
they've never, in all of their hours
underground, had an accident.
Paul mentioned the N.S.S. motto
of "The only thing you take is pictures and the only thing you leave
is footprints" in regards vandalism
in caves. They were both justly appalled by the damage which is done
in caves by careless and unthinking
people who are not trained in appreciating the cave's for what they
are, especially so in the destroying
of various rock formations and
"soda straws" (hollow deposits
which hang from the roof of caves)
which on the average take 20,000

years to form one cubic inch.
This Is Fun (?)
It was most interesting to listen
to their narrative of one particular
expedition that they made into a
cave that was only large enough to
let someone squirm through the
entrance, and where the Cave
served as a sort of sewage disposal
plant; so much so, in fact, that half
way through the passage one had
to crawl through a truck tire that
had wedged itself into an impossibly small opening. They j okingly
said that they didn't fear getting
lost in that particular cave, for they
left a trail of rags from where their
pants were torn on broken refuse.
Having already made several
trips to Fort Royal in Virginia,
they are planning on an outing of
about four days to that series of
caves, from approximately the 25th
to the 28th of next month.
Both spelunkers are also looking
forward to the national convention
of the N.S.S. in Birmingham, Alabama during the second week of
June.
Anyone interested in making the
search for Keats' "draught of vintage," is encouraged to contact
either Paul or Barry—happy spelunking.

Also in the near future is the

ho p e of having a Grotto Club here
at Bloomsburg, as there are at Shippensburg State, Penn State, York,

Pittsbur gh, Harrlsbur g and many
other areas. A Grotto Club is an
approved branch of the National
Speleloglca l Society, and Paul and
Barry hope to get enough people on
cam pus interested in cave-exploring
to form a Grotto as a campus organization .
They ore presently training some
eighteen other advocates by taking

them on expeditions to caves
aroun d the Lewistown area , as the y
are the nearest ones to Bloomsbur g, and are rather elementary as
f ar as caves go, hav in g no vertical

Cut: Policy
Vandalism
Teaching
Polic y On Cuts Revisited
From time to time students have
requested unlimited cuts or the establishment of a "cut" system at
Bloomsburg State College. Because
there is a no "cut" system in practice now at'the college, the effect of
absence on a student's grade is determined by the individual instructor.
College administrative officers
recognize the fact that many faculty members vary in their methods
of handling student absence from
classes. Some faculty appear not to
care whether a student attends
class while some faculty besome
quite upset whenever a student
misses a class. In general, however,
our faculty seem to handle class
absence in a fair and equitable
manner. Few, if any, student protests have been heard in any administrative offiees regarding faculty unfairness in dealing with students who have missed classes for
legitimate reasons.
Bloomsburg faculty might be inclined to approve a "cut" system if
they could be assured that:
(1) Students who miss class
would be responsible for obtaining
a summary or an outline of all
work missed.
(2) Students would not be per-

mitted to make up examinations,
quizzes, or tests missed because of
the cut
(3) Students would recognize the
fact that the present "approved absence" from classes for football
trips, band trips, etc., would no
longer be treated as "approved absences," but taken from the number of cuts that a student would be
permitted to have.
To set up a "cut" policy without
recognizing the students' concomitant academic responsibilities would
be, in my opinion, entirely unfair.
If students are mature adults
and are able to plan their absences
so that their academic responsibilities can be met, there is no reason
to oppose the establishment of a
"cut policy." However, students
must realize that if such a policy
were to be adopted, the "approved
absence" system for extra-curricular activities, the making up of examinations and work missed because of the absence, and the imposition of such academic penalties
as missing examinations will be the
"price" that students may well have
to pay for the adoption of any ' cut"
policy.

Dest ruction In New Lounge

Along with increased enrollment,
the physical expansion of the college, and the updating of our antiquated social laws, there has appeared again some maniac who expresses his frustrations against life
by slashing lounge furniture.
The CGA, et al, who provided the
new lounge in the location of the
old library, have noticed that last
weekend someone put a nice long
slit in one of the chairs. The furniture in the lounge , cost over 7,000
dollars, and the way it looks, by
the end of the year the investment
might well be written off as a total
loss.
People will say that this is an
evil that one may expect as the
College grows in size. People are
wrong. Several weeks ago I visited
Temple University which has an
enrollment of 37,000. One of the
lasting impressions made on my
mind was the excellent condition of
their many student lounges. Some-

one remarked that, "You could
never have a lounge like that at
Bloomsburg, it wouldn't last a
year/' Sadly enough the statement
is correct.
The person or persons who get
their j ollies by destroying community property more than likely have
a touch of mental sickness. Their
action remind one of a little child
who, when not being able to possess something of their brother or
sister, wrecks it.
The solution to the problem is
not to patrol the lounge, or close
it, or place steel furniture in the
place, but rather to develop in the
students an attitude of respect for
what is the property of all of them.
It's a sad comment on the mentality of Bloomsburg students when
the Administration and College
Council have to worry about the
childish antics of some college sixyear-old.

The Stude nt Teaching Game
Another phase in the game of
living has all but passed ; another
experience has fed a hun gry mind.
The present in which we are now
consumed will soon give way to
mere menta l patterns. The faces
and shouts of the past weeks will
coa gula te with in the shell of a
memory; too short to make a lasting f riend and too long to remain
a novelt y, but—an experience.
It' s all so vivid now. The morng

miserable alarm clock, or the coffee
pot that was plugged in right before the morn ing shower , or the
coffee that boiled all over the tab le

and floor bef ore the shower was

that accidently got stapled to the
lesson plan. Some of us never could
understand why our teachers were
not perf ect five days a week .
The dr ive to school was always a
treat. Silent. Then you'd see her as
you turned that last corner; her
multi ple mouths open and gulping;
her bricks and steel set hard
against the mass vibration. She was
big, beautiful , and expensive, and
they loved her...and , they deserved her.

at seventeen, he has worked his
way through a Master of Arts degree from , Fisk University, a special O. Henry Award for his short
story ^Health Card," and an Unlimited bookshelf of adventure fiction, on every conceivable event
from revolution in the Caribbean to
skulduggery on the Spanish Main.
"The Golden Hawj c" is his novel
of the buccaneer who harassed the
Spanish shipping during the late
1600's. It is the chronicle of Kit
Gerado, the , bastard son of Don
Luis, Spanish nobleman and supposedly the murderer of his
mother. The pages of the book take
the reader from the coast of Spain
to Lima and back again, stopping
off at almost every port en-route
and stopping every Spanish ship
that falls before their prow, accumulating plunder and blood in varying degrees throughout.
Kit's obsession with revenge on
Don Luis (the only character who
manages to show with some degree
of gray to contrast the other characters in stark black or white) permeates the book from beginning to
end, when the deed is taken from
his hands by the fate of war. His
obsession, though, is not as narrow
as it may sound, for throughout the
novel there is a great degree of intertwining of personalities and a
very basic, but well-executed plot
that borders on the edge of a foursided triangle.
If one can disregard Mr. Yerby's
all-good or all-bad characters it is
not difficult to become very thoroughly engrossed in the vivid description and action that he paints.
For a rainy-day session with a book,
it can't be beat. — Richie Benyo.

Graduate School Becomes A Necessity
For Surviva l In Our Chang ing Soc iety

In the near future you may need
a college degree in order to drive
a truck.
This may seem to be an overex;aggeration, but today, in the '60's,
a college degree is becoming comparable to a high school diploma
during the 1920's. Year by year advancements in business and industry, as well as in the teaching profession, are being determined not
by the ability in the specific job
alone, but more so by the advanced
degrees that a person holds.
A Common Factor
Graduate school is no longer being reserved for those wishing to
teach in college; it is becoming a
necessity for many areas of study
in the mundane world.
Estimates have it that the number of people going into graduate

was a step ^oward a more progressive college.
Although Bloomsburg is growing,
it is still a relatively small school.
However , it lacks communication
and closeness with faculty —somethin g which is supposed to be a
benefit of a small college. Because
of this , I believe that Bloomsburg
lacks a stimulating intellectual atmosphere.
Should Not Be Exception
This is not meant to be a "blanket

work has doubled, almost tripled
in the past decade, markedly so in
the fields of science and engineering.
Close To Home
In the Pennsylvania public schools
today a graduate needs 24 hours of
credit on the graduate level in order to receive a permanent teaching certificate. By this, approximately 75% of the graduates in today's state colleges are engaged in
graduate work. Ten years ago only
six hours of graduate-level study
were required, with only about
15% of the state college graduates
involvedin this s t u d y .
In the 1920's public school teachers (trainees of the old normal
schools) would obtain their bachelor degrees at Saturday classes. Today this approach has found ground
to grow in commerce and industry.
Employees of such concerns as
Bethlehem Steel, Western Electric,
and Pennsylvania Power & Light
work on master's degrees through
evening classes at neighborhood
colleges or may even receive a
"sabbatical" to concentrate on some
particular subject matter pertinent
to their job.
A Little Criticism
The "graduate factory" or "diploma mill"—as graduate schools
are dubbed by critics of the system
—are coming up for some rather
strong debate. Some contend that
\he world will become so graduateoriented that it will end up with a
great number of persons holding
advanced degrees who will be unable to find suitable employment,
thereby making work for master's
or doctorate degrees unnecessary.
There is some ray of truth in
that , too, for is the person with a
bachelor's degree and 15 years-onthe-j ob-training less skilled and
worth y of his job than a new employee who boast s a maste r's degree?
The Answer I s . . .
Modern gra duates of our colleges,
however, are answering "probably
yes" to this matter and are going to
make every effort to obtai n as much
graduate work as possible. And it is
not as hard to do this today as it
was at one time with the availability of fellowships and scholarshi ps
and grants and what-not
But, whatever the pr oblem, or
whatever the solution, ther ecan be
no doubt but that the stress is definitel y there —graduate studies are
here to stay, and are going to become a lot more impor tant in the
years to come.

place" that librarians are difficult
to find. In fact, a well-prepared professional librarian is in as much demand as a nuclear physicist or a
teacher who has a field of specialty
in higher mathematics.

of clerks, assistants, custodial workers, and helpers. The services of
these workers are almost as difficult
to secure, and we are currently in
the process of trying to employ one

As is common in most college libraries, students are offered employment to assist the professional

no vacancies for students who desire employment opportunities in

The direct salaries for library

addition, the staff of the Instructional Audio-Visual Materials Center in the Library adds another

A Bit of Thanks

In view of all the "Liberty in

granted in the past year, we must
realize that we owe a responsibility
to ourselves and to our college to
use these rights to their fullest potential.
However, we must also realize

that in the process of taking advantage of these "gifts," we must
not hinder the administrative machinery. It is not our place as students to meddle in the affairs of
our mentors. Students should not
be allowed to decide where dances
are to be held, how they should eat
dinner, what organizations can exist
on campus, etc. Students, being students, aren't really qualified enough!
ta make the right decisions on
these important administrative matters. But students are qualified
enough to serve in various committees and organizations along with
the administration to give their
ideas and views. But the actual
rules and regulations must be set
down by mature adults who can
see the picture much more clearly.
The students that claim that they
should be given an equal voice in
these regulations should be looked
on as a detriment to our college.
We don't need "radicals" in this
community of "social conservatism." Changes in policy would lead
to utter chaos among our students.
Besides, how does it look to outsiders if students of BSC are involved in activities that are "unprofessional?" Luckily, we don't have
many people that would try to start
"contemporary" thinking at BSC.
And since the majority of us know
the administration is right (extremely right we wouldn't support

The only way we can continue is to

Of course it is impossible to get this

that doesn't cooperate will be dealt

Library was opened.
Proj ected at the rate of $14,000
per month, the expenditures for
books, films, and supplies for the
library for the current year will
total $168,000. When this amount is
added to the amount allocated for
salaries and equipment, the grand
total cost of library operation for
the college year 1966-1967 is $343,656.
This figure covers only the costs
that can be directly allocated. It
does not include indirect salaries
for maintenance and supervision,
the cost of maintenance supplies,
overhead charges for the use of the
facility, including depreciation, utilities, and capital additions, or pro.rated charges for exterior services
on the grounds.
There is no question that our college administration would like to
provide increased library hours and
facilities for students; however, until such time that more professional
and non-professional personnel can
be employed to cover all essential
library services during the hours
that the library is open, and until
such time as the legislature is willing to appropriate additional funds
for salaries, equipment, and supplies, it would appear that favorable consideration cannot be given
to any requests to increase the
number of library hours per week
and library services.

Mike Morrow (42) pictured here scoring two of the thirt y-six points
he scored to lead BSC to a victor y over tVCSC.

Courtmen Lose To Indiana;
Defeat West Chester Rams

Fouls proved to be the determining factor as Coach Earl
Voss's Husk y basketball team
lost their opening game 71*67
to Indian a State. In the game
held at Indiana , BSC took a
36-28 lead into the locker room
at the half and held their advanta ge until with only 58 seconds left on the clock Indiana
tied the score. Then with four
seconds left on the clock a BSC
foul gave them a two point
lead. Another Husk y foul at
the buzzer added two more
points giving Indiana a four
point mar gin of victory in the
non-league contest.
BSC St arter s
Startin g for BSC were sophomores Palmer Toto , Ji m Dulane y,
and Jack Carney who was high
scorer with 21. Other Husky starters were senior co-captains Mike
Morrow and John Gara.

Having better luck in their home
opener BSC scored a convincing
103-88 win over West Chester.
•Tumping out to an early lead the
Husky zone defense held well with
only strong outside shooting keeping West Chester in the game.
Right Combination
Starting the same team as saw action against Indiana, Coach Voss
had the right combination as Mike
Morrow dumped in 36 points, Jack
Carney added 19, Jim Dulaney
scored 15, and John Gara, 11. Palmer Toto had 13 points along with
an unprecedented 13 assists.
The capacity crowd at Centen-,
nial Gym also saw the Husky Pups
score a victory as they won 63-58
over the Bucknell Frosh. Leading
the BSC freshmen were team
leader Bill Mastropietro and Jeff
Houk whose aggressive tactics got
him both the points and rebounds
needed for a BSC victory.

The strongest teams in the Eastern Conference should be Millersville with seven of its first eight
players returning including all five
starters. Bloomsburg will get its
strength from a team that includes
three starting sophomores who last
year played on the most successful
freshman team in BSC history.
Mansfield , a team that has always
been strong is a big question mark
this year. If coach Bill Clark can
pull the team of j ourneymen that
remain from last year with some
new talent, they could be strong.
East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, and
West Chester have to be considered
dark horses in this year's campaign.
Shippensburg, although in j a. rebuilding, must be considered a
threat to knock off some strong
teams.
In the Western Division things
really seem to be up in the air as
Slippery Rock, Edinboro, and California are unknown quantities.
Lock Haven expects to improve
while on the other hand Clarion
doesn't expect to equal last year's
15-6 record.

The Husk y swimmers had a
taste of both victor y and defeat Saturda y, Decemb er 3,
when they dropped a very
close meet to Tempje; University before about f sixty specta tors.
In the first official meet of
the season the Hus ky tankmen
pushed themselves to the limit
and tried every trick they knew
in attem pting to defeat the
Owls of Temple, but lack of
supportin g men tooks its toll.
" The Huskies lost 53-41.

The championship game in soccer will be held Wednesday, December 14: There are four teams
left in the double-elimination tournament: Son's of Ital y — 3-0, Buzzy's Bofords — 3-1, Schlitz Boys —
3-0, and Coal Crackers — 3-1. The
attendance has been up for the last
few games, and should get better
for the final games.
The intramural basketball season
started with three games on tap.
There were three games a night

ment to reveal the truth to us in all situations?" If the Warren Commission Report is proved false, dire questions would result In such a situation, all interested persons should examine the articles, not in light of
the possibilities, but rather the probabilities. It is very easy to let our
imaginations run away with us in such dilemmas. We need to , examine
this issue with the restraint and responsibility it deserves.
Assassination Theories
To demonstrate the need for thinking in terms of probabilities, let me
cite the question: Did Hitler commit suicide at the end of WWN II? It is
indeed possible that Hitler survived and escaped to South America (as
some people insist) but it is highly improbable. The same may be said of
many (but by no means all) of Esquire's "35 assassination theories."
Warren Report Questioned
The Warren Commission Report should have the respect of all persons
for its case is one of the most probable. However, honest men can disagree and not all questions of the accuracy of the Warren Report are
unfounded. Many of Mark Lane's and Edward Epstein's questions appear
to be justifiable and we can not dismiss them. If one tries*to cite them
as opportunists trying to cash in on the Kennedy assassination, then one
would also have to cite Gerald Ford, one of the Commission members, for
his book, Portrait of the Assassin.
