Lett er s

TO: The Editor
Maroon and Gold (Newspaper
of Bloomsburg State College ) I
am very pleased to be able to
^report that Dan Skok , a former
student , who was dismissed by
Dean Hoch in January 1971, for
"academic reasons " , from BSC,
received mid-term grades at
King 's College , Wilkes-Barre ,
giving him a 3.0 average.
Dan's appeal to Pres. Nossen
from Dean Hoch's dismissal was
turned down last summer with
the statement:
"Despite
very
low
qualification , and despite our
necessaril y having to admit only
a fraction of able students , we
gave Mr. Skok an opportunity
simply because we make every
effort to cooperate with transfers
from Community Colleges, Mr.
Skok simply didn 't make it
academically. "
(Letter to Dan s attorney , from
Nossen, dated Jul y 15, 1971.) It
should be pointed out that Dan
and I , both , feel tha t your
repeated representation (most
recently in an editorial , April 14)
tha t the Trustees are only interested in Russ Houk and Elton
v Hunsinger and not interested in
approximately 20 (not "four ")
"excellent professors " driven
from the campus by Dr. Nossen,
or not interes ted in "the students
for whom the college exists"
(your phrases ) is a false
representation .
The Trustees have shown an
interest in and have encouraged
reports by Dan , Sally Freeman ,
and dpzens of other students.
They have shown an intere st and
offered to testify for Max
Pfimack , Joe Skeha n, Williman ,
Smiley , and me, just to mention a
few of the 1 hope "excellent
professors " terminated , one way
or the other , by Dr. Nossen.
Without
the Trustees encouragement , along with the
encoura gemen t of a few others
connec ted with BSC , Dan feels
that he would not ha ve had the

spirit to perform as well at King 's
as he has. Dan wants to finish up
at Bloomsburg . The Trustees
have given him hope that he may
be able to do so. Has the M & G
ever offered any such encouragement to Dan and the 169
oth er
illegall y
dismissed
students?
The main reason for the
Trustees ' public concern for
Houk and Hunsing er is that the
latt er have some political "clout "
in Harrisburg needed by the
Trustees in order to effectively
counter the proven political
"clout" of Nossen with the
of
Governor , Department
Department
of
,
Justice
Education , and the Board of State
College Directors , all of whom
are adamantly defendin g Nossen
agains t the appeals of many
"excellent professors " and
students of BSC.

Dear Sir:
We wish to comment on Mr.
Sachetti 's ably written editori al
of April 14, 1972, in which he takes
the BSC Board of Trustees to
task .
Are the trustees just "local
politi cians? Mr. Booth , the
Chairman , Mr. Croop, the Vice Chairman , and Mr. Bang s, the
Secretary - Tre asurer are insurance underwr iters ; Mr.
Zurick and Mrs . Nespoli operate
priv a te busi nesses; Mr. Fay is a
reven ue official , Dr. Weisbond ,
an optician , Mr. Heffner , a judge ,
and Mr. Fensterm acher , a
newspaper editor .
Have the trustees received, in
fact , "Political plums?" They
obtain no remuneration for their
services, other than the "three
and a half hour exercise in
futilit y" of which Mr. Sachetti
speaks . If the faculty or administr ation make a legal error ,

liabil ity — but if trustees make a
similar mistake , they may be
held individually liable .
The difficulty at the Board
meeting of March 24 , 1972
basically lies with the administration , which offered no
advance agenda , and put before
the trustees thick folders containing data on approximatel y
fifty faculty members. When the
trustees understandably
manifested reluctance to act in a
peremptory manner on the vital
issue of continuing employment,
they were pressured into approving everything as recommended by the administration .
Most intelligen t rea ders of the
local newspapers of March 25 will
readily discern that the trustees
tried to act in good faith , although
they were misled by wha t seem to
be the quasi-legal "opinions " of
such "lawyers " as President
Nossen, Mr. Aciern o, and Mr.
Turner rendered at tne time.
The Board , because of its
economic independence and
extra-institutional perspective , is
probably THE ONE FAIRLY
INDEPENDENT BODY ON
THIS CAMPUS. Most members
of the Board have taken their
function and the affairs of the
school to heart , and have spoken
although
out
fearlessly,
frequently condemned for their
of
alleged
"ignorance "
procedure
by certain
administrators
and
"faculty
leaders. " How easy it would have
been for them to pa ssively submit
to being used as a rubber stamp!
It is indeed paradoxical , and
somewhat suspicious to us . that

SHAPPTO PRESENT
VIEWON PAY TOILETS
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP ) —
Gov. Shapp, a foe of pay
toilets , was invited Friday to
present his views to the Publi c
Utility Commis sion which is
investigating
pay toilets at
bus, rail and airline terminals.
Shapp , who stopped at a
Howard Johnson 's turnpike
restaurant last week on his
way from Philadelphia
to
Harrisburg, said ti was unfair
to the public to have pay
toilets in a restaurant that has
a mono poly on the turnpike.
PUC Commis sioner Louis J.
Spa r vero, who ini t iat ed the
pay toilet s inqui ry, invited the
governor to appear at a May 2
session.

beer can at you, and goes a round
the block . What do you do?
Perhaps yoa ve been hitchin g for
hours and are still waiting for
your first ride . What are you
doing wron g?
gone
personally
Having
thro ugh all these experie nces and
many more , I ha ve this advice for
novice hitchers who would like to
take up thum bing in earnes t, for
whatever reason.
First of all , how do you look
when you take your position on
the highway? Did you dra g out
your Abbie Hoffman - going - to court outfit? If you did , you still
have a chance of getting a ride ,
but you've reduced your chances
considerably unless you traverse
roads largely used by freaks.
Don't go out and get your hair cut
or anything as drastic as tha t, but
you should tr y to tone it down so
you don't scare those with more
conservative outlooks. These
people, by the way, provide more
rides than you would expect.
Now that you are on the highway, how should you look in
respect to facial expressions?
These , contrary to wha t you
might think , are important. If the
weather is pleasant , look casual ,
pleasant , eager. Smile a lot. If the
weather is lousy, look like you are
on the edge of death. Huddle and
crouch and blow into your hands
as if frostbite has claimed the last
of your fingers. Sympath y is a
great emotion to play with for
rides. Of course , you may reall y
be on the verge of death from cold
and winds thus adding authe nticit y. Then again , you may run
into cold-hearte d heathens who
don't care if you freeze or not ; I
found myself on route 81 in
Moosic one night for three hours
in io degree weather and ended
up crawling to a gas station to
call frien ds I haven 't seen since
high school . On the whole ,
however , sympath y works
u i n n i i af c

Next , whom might you expect
rides from ? The answer is, and I
stress , ANYBODY . You name it ,
and it' s given me a ride : Girls ,
ladies , old men , construction
workers , t ruc k dr ivers , drunk s,
and junkies. The most reliable
source is a freak , who will pick up
a conservative , a radical ,
anybody, because most have
hitch ed at one time or another
and know the frustration of
sta nding for hours and hours on
the roa d in all sorts of other social
niceties. Incases such as this , the
best solution is to disapp ea r into
the shadows. Discretion , it is
said , is the bette r part of valor ,

and it is said with much basis in
real ity. Wai t until they get bored
looking for you and try again.
Really, the best advice is not to
hit ch a t all at night if you can
avoid it. It is no longer the fun
battle it can be in the dayt ime.
You can find yourself in a fight
for survival. If you must hitch at
nigh t, try to arrange for a friend
tohitch with. It helps immensel y.
The females reading this might
have noticed an absence of
reference of their sex. This is not
accidental. I think girls should
not hitch. I know and have been
picked up by too many deviants
who drool at the opportunity of
picking up some female hatcher s.
You get rides quick , but you may
noi end up where you want to.
Also, if you think it' s tough for me
to handle some drunken muscle
heads , think of the pro blems
vou'd have.
These are a few of the basics I
have learned through experiences , not always pleasant. A
great deal can only be learn ed by
actual experience . Hitching , as a
whole , has introduced me to some
of the most enjoyable people I
ha ve ever met , people I wouldn 't
ha ve met otherwise. You get a
look at all walks of life and some
of your strongest preconc eived
notions about groups of people
can be gratefull y shattered by
one ride from a constr uction
worker who is nicer to you and
more understanding than your
old man. Enjoy .

Ea rth Week

New awa reness
seen on Earth

Problems of
over population

Thousands of schools and
communities across the Nation
are expected to join hands for the
third consecutive year in observing the new awareness of our
conservation needs — Earth
Week '72.
Set for April 17-23, Earth Week
has grown to symbolize the
coming age of the environmental
issue and it provides the opportunity to learn something
about that issue. As was the case
last year, the National Wildlife
Federation has join ed other
conservation groups in urging
participation at the community
level , with local and statewide
groups utilizing their own
resources and establishing their
own priorities.
The ideas are as limitless as
the problems. Grass roots actions
all across the country can focus
new attention on air and water
quality, land and resource use,
transportation, technology, and
urban and population growth.
For the first time in history, the
environmental issue will be a
major part of the policial
dialogue of nationwide elections.

For years , it has been
recognized
that the underdeveloped countries (UDCs )
of Africa , Asia , and Latin
America have suffered from
overpopulation . It has only been
quite recently that the developed
countries have noticed their own
critical population . growth and
become concerned enough to
establish birth control programs
for themselves. More recent still,
there has come an understanding
that , although populations in
UDCs are growing at a rate three
times that of the. developed
countries , each additional
American consumes and pollutes
about as much as fifty additional Indians or Arabs ,
by virtue of his developed
civilization.
When
the
population problem is viewed
from this angle, it is not just a
"problem " in the developed
nations, but a crisis that , as yet,
has no solution .
i nougn oinii cunirui programs

do exist in the United States and
other developed countries, with
few exceptions, they have not
been able to lower their
population
growth
rates.
Essentially, it stems not from
ineffective contraceptives or
their inadequate distribution , but
rather from lack of motivations.
At present , in order to stir the
American public and awaken
them to the fact that it is not the
small percentage of unwanted
births, but the huge percentage of
wanted children that will stifle
our civilization , an enormous
public relations campaign will
have to be waged over a period of
years. It will have to aim at
changing the middle-class
mentality and more which
demand , today, at least three
children per couple.
If the developed nations do not
reach a zero population level
soon, they will be facing the same
chaos as the UDCs. Overpopulation will result in overpollution and nature will take its
course, leaving us with only
death to face. And , like the
pollution problem , it can not be
handled by one country alone.
Even if the U. S. reached a zero
population growth rate, and the
other developed nations do not ,
nothing is gained. Also, like the
pollution problem , the campaign
for lower birth rates can be
conducted far more efficiently on
an international scale. The
citizens of an Atlantic union
would ha ve to face and conquer
their population crisis as individuals acting to preserve their
environments and their lives.
Atlantic union would also provide
for a body to reassess the
population control programs in
the UDCs. The U. S. today
presumes a great deal by offering
these programs to foreign
countr ies w hen it can't control its
own population . And , if the
Atlantic nations and all other
developed nations of the world do
allow their populations to surpass
the critical mark , there will be no
help for the UDCs or anyone else,
for tha t matter.
Overpopulation is a critical
ma t ter , just as deadly as
pollution , an d ver y muc h a pr i me
cause of the pollution . Again ,
man h as two ch oices : move to

When sound becomes noi s e
by Mike Spellman

One of the major problems in
our modern times is noise.
Although many people don 't
realize it, noise does play a
significant role in our lives. Noise
pollution once was confined
mainly to special area s, such as
the factory . Today it touches
most members of our society.
Some 25 percent of the U.S.
population suffers measurable
hearing impairment by their
fifties . Hearing loss is not the
only potential health problem
associated with noise. Noise can
cause enough emotional response
to make a person feel nervous,
irritable and anxious. Rest ,
relaxation , and peaceful sleep
are interrupted to those suffering
from noise. Noise is a form of
persecution.
Some areas of noise pollution
have distinctly annoyed me on
this campus. In the last four
years , much construction has
been done here. Jackhammers,
air compressors, wrecking balls,
and riveting equipment are used
in these projects which bothers
me especially because I know the
technology to curb noise from
construction equipment does
exist today. Noise is not an
inescapable price of progress.
Please remember this when you
are trying to study for your finals
and can 't hear yourself think due
to the noise outside from construction.

Properly sited barriers together
with discharge and intake
silencers can greatly reduce the
offending sounds. Inside the
offices are more machines such
as computers, typewriters, and
tabulators that can be slashed by
sound absorbing and vibration
damping materials. At the time,
this is not helping the workers.
Another area of noise pollution
is the paper-thin walls in the new
apartments off-campus for
students . You can actually hear
your neighbors snoring at night.
And there is no mystery about
constructing sound-pr oof
buildings of all kinds. These are

just a few areas of noise on our
campus and town.
The technological aspects of
the problem are no longer the
most urgent. What is needed is
your concern for your fellow
man. Wild animals can survive in
zoos, but only at the cost of losing
the physical and behavior they
possess in their natural habitat.
Similiary, human beings can
survive in the polluted cage of
technological civilization , but in
adapting to such condition , we
may sacrifice much of our own
humaness. Many individuals are
not always reall y concerned
about the well-being of people.
It seems too often we are only
concerned about our own
welfare. We must begin to change
our attitudes and goals in life or
we may be doomed to survive as
something less than human.

with public leaders and candidates addressing various
concerns. Earth Week '72 can
give state and local groups a
platform of which to determine
the environmental positions and
actions of present leaders and
candidates.
In addition , global pollution
concerns are especially timely
this year in view of the NWF
"United Nati ons for BioSurvival" international symposium to be held in conjunction
with the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, June 1012.

Due to the grass roots emphasis on Earth Week activities,
there will not be a national
headquarters. Interested persons
and groups should contact enand
citizen
vironmental
organizations at the state and
local level in order to make their
own Earth Week plans.

EPA

The United States Environmental Protection Agency
was established December 2,
1970, bringing together for the
first time in a single agency the
major environmental control
problems of the Federal
government. EPA is charged
with mounting an integrated,
coordinated attack on the environmental problems of air and
water pollution , solid wastes
m a n a g e m e n t , pesticides ,
radiation , and noise.
To insure that the agency is
trul y responsive
to
environmental needs in every part
of the country , it has established
a strong field organization , with
regional offices located at ten
major cities. The regional offices
are staffed by specialists in each
program area and headed by a
Regional
Administrator
possessing broad authority to act
for EPA in matters within his
jurisdi ction.
EPA's creation marked the end
of the piecemeal approach to our
nation 's environmental problems
which has, so often in the past,
inhibited progress or merely
substituted one form of pollution
for another.
EPA was created to lead a
broad , com preh ensi ve atta ck on
pollution , an d i ts a d m i n istrat i ve
organization has been designed to
make this approach a reality .
The new organizational structure
makes it easier to identify , and to
take into account , all the factors
bearing on pollution and its
control . It makes it possible to
resolve competing or conflicting
program aims. It is facilitating
the development of better information on the total impact of
str esses reach i ng man f rom
var ious parts of t he env ironment ,
and makes possible more sensible choices abou t what constitutes a healthful , sat isf y i ng
milieu for human life.
Most important of all , perha ps,
EPA gives to the American
people a single , independent,
i m part i a l agency to serve as
their advocate for a livable env ironment.

Department. If they don 't care,
scream till someone does.
13. If you don 't really need a
car, don 't buy a car. Motor
vehicles contribute a good half of
this country 's air pollution.
Better, walk or bicycle. Better
for you, too.
14. If you have to car-commute,
don't chug exhaust into the air
just for yourself. Form a car
pool. Four people in one car put
out a quarter the carbon
monoxide of four cars.
15. Better yet, take a bus to
work or school. Or a train. Per
passenger mile, they pollute air
much less than cars. Support
mass transit.
16. If you still think you need a
car of your own, make sure it
burns fuel efficiently (i.e., rates
high in mpg). Get a low-horse
power minimachine for the city,
a monster only for lots of freeway
driving.
17. Tetrachyl lead additives are
put in gasoline to hype an
engine's performance ; they can
build up in your body to a lethal
dose. Use lead-free gasoline —
lead's not needed. (Lead , by the
way, chews up metal - including
new antipollution catal ytic
mufflers.)
18. If bagged garbage overflows your trash cans* shake it
out of the bags directly into the
can , and tromp it down to compact it. Smash up non-glass liquid
containers and paper boxes
before throwing them away,
compact things.
19. If you have a fireplace. .
..abstain. As much as possible. If
you must send up smoke, burn
wood, not murky cannel coal.
20. Burning leaves or garbage
is already illegal in many towns.
Don't do it . Dispose of it- some
other way.
21. If you see any oily, sulfurous
black smoke coming out of

chimneys, report it to the
Sanitation Dept. or Air Pollution
Board .
22. There's only so much water.
Don't leave it running. It has to
be recycled too fast, treatment
plants can't purify it properly.
23.
Measure detergents
carefully. If you follow
manufacturer 's instructions ,
you'll help cut a third of all
detergent water pollution.
24. Since the prime offender in
detergent pollution is not suds but
phosphates (which encourage
algae growth) , demand to know
how much phosphate is in the
detergent you're buying. Write
the manufacturer , newspapers,
Congressmen, the FDA. Until
they let you know, use an unphosphated — nondetergent —
soap. (Bubble baths, you may be
happy to know, do not cause
detergent pollution.)
25. Never flush away what you
can put in the garbage.
Especially unsuspected organic
doggers like cooking fat (give it
to the birds ) , coffee grounds, or
tea leaves (gardeners dote on
them).
26. Drain oil from power lawn
mowers or snowplows into a
container and dispose of it; don't
hose it into the sewer system.
27. Avoid disposable diapers if
possible. They may clog plumbing and septic tanks.
28. If you see something wrong
and you don't know whom to
contact , bombard newspapers,
TV and radio stations with letters. Get friends to joi n in. Media
w ill help with the message if
you 're .getting nowhere in normal
channels. Remember : Publicity
hurts polluters.
29. Help get antipollution ideas
into kids heads. If you 're a
teacher , a Scout leader, a camp
counselor , a summer playground
assistant: teach children about

litter , conservation , noise,
.about being considerate, which
is what it all comes down to.
30. If you're in . a relatively
rural area , save vegetable
wastes (sawdust, corn husks,
cardboard , table scraps, et al.) in
a compost heap, instead of
throwing them out. Eventually
you can spread it as fertilizer —
nature's way of recycling garbage.
31. Remember: All Power
Pollutes. Especially gas and
electric power , which either
smog up the air or dirty the
rivers. So cut down on power
consumption. In winter, put the
furnace a few degrees lower (it's
healthier) and wear a sweater.
32. Use live Christmas trees,
not amputated ones, and replant
them afterward. City bound?
Contact your Parks Dept.
33.
Protesting
useless
pollution? Don 't wear indestructible metal buttons that
say so.
34. Fight to keep noise at a
minimum between 11 P.M. and 7
A.M. Studies show that sounds
which aren't loud enough to wake
you can still break your dream
cycle — so you awaken tired and
cranky. (Sound like a lot of
people you know at BSC? Be
considerate of your mutual
dormitory resident — lower your
voice and stereos so others can
sleep or study even though you
may be just started to wake-up.)
By the same token, be kind to
neighbors. Suggest that your
local radio-TV station remind
listeners at 10 P.M. to turn down
the volume.
35. When you shop, take a
reusable tote with you as
Europeans do — and don 't accept
excess packaging and paper
bags.

HOW I SEE IT
By bob Oliver '
The stri ke is over , and it' s lime
to play ball again. Supposedly,
the players are happy, if onl y for
the lime being. Besides the
strike , the ma jor to p ic of the
gra p efruit circuit was t he
' retirement' of V i da Blue , the
American Leagues MVP and Cy
Young awar d winner last year.
H ow an y p layer w i th one good ,

beyond me , but in Clue 's case
$60,000 doesn 't seem too absurd—
for here is a man who drew I cn

Som ethin g tells me th at Blue will

sit (his season out , but will be
back pla y ing in the future , either
due t o a change in the reserve
clause or a p rivate need for $ or

Counseling Center Questions & Answers

Students often ask what help is
available in the Counseling
Center for problems in human
sexuality areas. Qeustions
typically asked concerning this
area are given with answers to
aid in clarifying the services
available. Charles Thomas ,
Director of Counseling Services
provided the responses.
Q. Does the Counseling Center
provide abortion counseling?
A. Abortion is a medical
procedure
used
to
terminate a pregnancy . Thus
we deal with the actual
situation — pregnancy — and ,
subsequently, abortion as one of
the alternative solutions to
handling the pregnancy. There is
first a need to determine by
medical tests where pregnancy
exists. If the student has not
verified it , we refer her to a
medical doctor who will determine pregnancy. We point out
that she may also wish to discuss
with the doctor the various options open to her if she is
pregnant. These options may
include having the child within or
outside of a marriage and raising
the child, having the child and
placing it in an adoption home, or
terminating the pregnancy. In
addition to discussing the
alternatives with a doctor, the
woman may wish to involve the
father, parents, or siblings, and-'
or a religious counselor in the
decision process. We will assist

that her condition is not en
dangered by continued living ir
residence, and that he will as*
her to leave when it is ap
propriate . There may be oc
casions when, for the well-being
of the student, the Student Life
staff may find it necessary for the
student to leave earlier thar
anticipated.
I want to be very clear on on*
point . The student is expected tc
acknowledge her pregnancj
when it exists and to be under th<
care of a physician. There havt
been rare instances when £
student refuses to accept
responsibility for herself anc
obtain medical help. If thh
should occur, the Student Life
staff involved will take such
action as is necessary to see thai
a physician's care is immediately
obtained.
Q. Does the college provide any
contraceptive service?
A. Other than information
regarding contraceptive methods
provided by Counseling Center
staff and also presented in health
courses or special programs, the
college does not provide contraceptive devices or medication.
For medical advice and services, we refer students to doctors in the area who have shown a
willingness to provide such
services. The student should feel.
free to utilize our collegei
dispensary for information or to
arrange for assistance with
medical personnel.

Department of Health , but
identities are kept confidential.
In Pennsylvania, physicians are
no longer required to report such
cases to parents. The Department of Health makes follow-up
investigations on syphilis but not
on gonorrhea.
Students should feel free to use
the College dispensary to obtain
treatment , especially those
holding college insurance, as
complete coverage of costs will
be covered. Again, I want to point
out that records, if any, are kept
in professional confidence.
Q. What can a student concerned about homosexuality
expect from the counseling
Center?
A. Sexuality, hetero- , bi- ,
homo- ,
can
and
doespresent conflicts for the
student . In this age group,
I find a range of sexual behavior.
A great deal of the bi-sexual and
homosexual activity is of an
exploratory nature and some is at
the fantasy level completely,
while some is real. Our concern is
to explore self with the student

the student in locatin g the kind of
re ferral persons she needs t o
make the decis ions.
W e have a t the C ounsel ing
Cen t er in f orma ti on on all of these
referral sources including clinics
where legal a bor tions may be
arran g ed. Regardless of the
dec ision and act ion taken by the
st udent , we rema i n available and
encourage followup with a
mem be r of the cent er sta ff . A ll
serv i ces b y the C ounsel i ng
C en t er are p rov i ded on a
pro fessional conf ident i al plan.
Q. What is the policy at BSC
concern ing pregnancy and attend i ng classes ?
A. Our main concern is that the
st udent is und er t he care of a
phys i cian during th e p regnanc y .
If the studen t is living in a
residence hall , she should expect
that a letter from her physician to
the Student Life staff concern ed
with her residence is expected in
which the physician indicates

who is in conflict with sexuality
and to aid in his-her development
of a better understanding of self
and the part that sexuality plays.
Quite often, we find that the
student sees total self through a
screen labeled homosexual and
thus restricts behavior towards
others. Thus he-she usually feels
apart from others and unable to
get involved in most aspects of
life to the degree desirable. A
student can become pretty lonely
that way. I should point out that
some have developed a modenrf
bi- or homosexual behavior with
which they seem satisfied.
Q. What is the law concerning
obtaining medical attention by
students without involving
parents?
A. A Pennsylvania law concerning this question was made
effective April 14, 1970, and
should answer your question . It is
quoted below :
"Act no. 10— (H.B . 775, Pr. No.
2294 - Consent - Minors Health
Services). Provides that any
minor who is eighteen or older, or
has graduated from high school
or has married , or h as been

pregnant , may give effective
consent to medical, dental and
health services for themselves.
Also, provides that a minor who
had been married or has borne a
child may give effective consent
for such services for his or her
child; any minor can give consent to determine and treat
pregnancy, venereal diseases
and other reportable diseases;
and to secure consent is unnecessary
when
in
the
physician's judgment, an attempt to secure consent would
