Basketball Game.
HELPLINE, in the words of the
students involved , "wants to
listen to anyone with a problem
who wants to talk, or who needs
information. The HELPLINE
number is 784-8106.

The coordinators and staff
members are all BSC students

training session and are interested in clarifying problems
and passing on pertinent information to help people avoid
possible "crisis situations". The
service is rigidly confidential.
HELPLINE has professional
backing

Coun cil approves
'72-73 bud get
Mike Meizinger

The Community Activities
Budget for 1972-73 was approved
at a special College Council
meeting held on Wednesday; May
10. The only changes made in the
proposed budget were in regard
to the Maroon and Gold and the
Olympian.
Dr. Griffis, chairman of the
Committee,
CGA Budget
presented the budget to the entire
Council, at the request of Mike
Siptroth, president of CGA. Dr.
Griffis noted that the committee
had been working on the budget
since March 2. The budget
committee was praised by Dr.
Griffis for the amount of time and
effort that they put into the
budget. He informed the members of Council that many people
were called in and asked to
defend their various requests.
ATHLETICS

The athletic and recreationportion of the budget was
discussed at great length. The
committee met with Dr. Bresett
and some of the coaches on a
number of occasions. The
committee recommended that
the budget be decreased $12,000
because it did not conform to the
general budgetary policy set up.
This was done within the
department and Dr. Bresett
returned with what the committee thought was a sound
financial request. There was a
minority feeling in the committee
that the athletic budget should be
withheld until the ad hoc comm ittee report of June, 1971 is
implemented.
The College Council * voted to
approve the atliletic portion as
presented, af ter a motion "to
approve 50 per cent of the athletic
bu dget an d give the Executive
Committee of CQA the power to
release the remainder" died
because of a lack of a second. The
total Athletic budget amounts to
$80,948, with a large portion of the
money going to new programs
involving women.
PUBLICATIONS

When the budget was presented
to College Council, there was no
money allocated for the Olympian, the only literary magazine
on campus. The majority of the
budget committee felt that there
was not enough interest to
warrant the request. At the
meeting, John Andris moved that
the Olympian be allocated $900,
because of the interest of the new
editor and also because the
Olympian will be coming out at
an earlier date next year. This
motion was approved.
The Maroon and Gold was
given an increase of $400, making
their total budget $12,300. The
reason for this increase is due to
the $400 raise in estimated income, which comes from their
advertising.
The following is a summary of
the 72-73 Community Activities
Budget:
The Athletic and Recreation
portion totalled $80,948, with the
football program receiving the
largest sum , $15,337. Women's
varsity sports were allocated a
total of $6,421 to be divided up
among basketball, tennis, andfield hockey. Also, the wrestling
program was allocated $6,740,
The Artist and Lecture Series
was given the sum of $15,500,
which will be shared between the
Arts Council and the Civic Music
Association.
The section pertaining to
College and Community Service
is to receive $104,235. Under this
category are . the campus
publications , Big Name Entertainment , Freshman orientation, and various other items.
In the approved budget, it is
recommended tMat $12,050 be
given to the various music
organizations on campus. Also, in
the-area of publicity, the amount
of $4,075 was recommended.
The various organizations on
campus will receive a total of
$50,359. Of this amount the
Student Union was allocated
$17,440.

editorial

I was going to write one of those big , long, year end summary,
swan song , so long we'll see you again editorials . But after sitting in
front of this damn typewriter for the better part of three nights , I' ve
finally come to the conclusion that there wouldn 't be much point in
it . We all know what 's gone on this year , we 've all formed our
opinions , and besides , the weather is getting much too nice for deep
thought .
Unfortunately , however , I can 't just mar ch off into the sunset
withou t getting a few final thoughts sff my chest (verbosit y, the
plight of us writer- type people ) . You see, I' ve learned too much ,
foun d too many fr iends and made too many enemies while playing
boy-editor of the M&G for a year to let them all go unnoticed . So
without any further ado , I 'd just like to say...
Dr . Nossen resigned about thre e weeks ago . The str eets on
campus still haven ' t turned to gold . He did some bad things , there
were times when he didn 't comprehend the meaning of the words
discretion or tac t , and he overestimated the ability of his subor dinates to res ponsibly exercise the authori ty he gave them . But he
also did a lot of good things ; things that the same people who cried
for his skin this year should have been thanking him for . He was a
good administrator , a lousy politician , and a man who deserves our
criticism , but also our thanks .
Mr. Russ Houk is a great wrestling coach . He has also almost
single handedly ripped this college apart . In addition , he has built
up a power base which threate ns to keep agitating until he has his
way. He would do himself and the college well by spending his
summer job hunting elsewhere . As far as I' m concerned , the
Wilder Repor t stands .
Mr. Hunsinger is. . .(to hell with it). As far as I' m concerned , the
Wilder Report stands.
And now , surprise of surprises , I' ve got a kind word for the Boar d
of Trustees. . .but not too kind. I hav e come to conclude that the
Board can indeed be viable. With some knowledge , and with some

honest concern for the good of the college rather than the good of
their friends , the trustees could function as the onl y independent

thorn in the side of the giant state educational bureaucracy. They
could serve as an independent board of review , handling any and
all cases in which there is a chance that the multitude of review
boards and rule s failed. It would take a hell of a lot of integrity on
the part of the trustees (few of the presen t trustees would do) , but it
could ha pp en .
And now , a personal aside to Mr. Deake Porter , Mr . Ralph
Smiley and Mr. John Williman. Thank you for your lett ers. They ' ve
taught me mor e about human nature than I ever wanted to know.
The preced ing paragra ph was the last wri tten by the editor of the
1971-72 Maroon and Gold. He no longe r exists. Only I' m left behind ,
and he 's starting to look like some fading memory to me alr eady.
So before he gets too far away, I'd better pa y our debts.
We thought The 1971-72 M&G was the best newspaper this
campus ever had. And we want to thank all the people who loved it
and hated it and read it. It was only a newspaper , and as long as you
picked it up, read it , re acted to it , and threw it in the nearest trash
can , we were hap py.
And we want to thank all the people who aided and abetted us in
getting it out . Our humble thanks to our office staff and reporters ,
to the people at the Danville News , to Mr . Trathen and to CGA.
Well , the editor 's getting along now , and I guess I'd better be too.
But before I go, I' ve got to turn to Bob Dylan for a few lines,
because words fail me whenever I try to put things I feel in my
heart down on paper.
So "I wish for just one time , you could stand inside my shoes " . .
.then maybe you'd know all the friends I 've made , all the th i ngs
I' ve learned , and all the people who have been my teachers . The
good profs , they know who they are , and all the friends I ' ve made
whom I 'm afraid to list for fear I 'd miss someone ; but they too
know who they are .
And then if you could be, for a momen t , inside my head , you 'd
know my staff. . .Frank Pizzol i, the best news editor this paper has
ever had ; you 'd have heard Jody Dempsey 's grea t stories ; you'd
have seen Mike Meizing er get madder than hell at the Trustees ;
you 'd know how much Karen Keinard , Carol Kishbaugh , Nancy
Van Pelt and Linda Ennis contributed . You 'd know how hard Dan
Maresh worked .
And then maybe you could understa nd how I feel about Joe
Miklos , resident record reviewer and friend , and Bob Oliver , who
walked in out of nowhere and did an unbelievably good job as
Sports editor .
You 'd know how much Tom Schofield and Denise Ross taught me
about people, and you 'd know what it 's like to see Elaine Pongratz
and Ellen Doyle smile . You 'd be able to appreci a te John Stugrin 's

artwork as much as I do.

You 'd know how much Mike Hock , dor Remsen and Bill Teit-

sworth taught and encouraged me. And you 'd have the privilege of
having Al Maurer for a teacher and friend .
You 'd understand what a really great man Mr. Ken Hoffman is.
You could understand and be grateful to Sue Sprague for
everything she 's done tor me , and finally , you could have your own
personal hew>, friend , and yes , brother , in Terry Blass.
If you could stand inside my shoes, you 'd be very happy.
Well , I guess I 'll be going too. So Thank You friends. Thank You
ladies and gentleman of the audience. Thank You and good night.

In answer to the age-old

those bastards laugh.
In other words , folks , I am

I came here three years ago
wanting to be either Lenn y Bruc e
or Bob Dylan . I leave her e
wanting to be left alone .

I came here when everyone
was all agog with peace, love,
flowers , and a smooth -talking
liberal college President named
Bobby Nossen . It is no mean
coincidence that the number one
fave gear rave grou p at the time
was one called Blind Faith.

I leave here as everyone seems
all but lobotomized. I want to get
out before the rot really sets in.
Maybe I' m overly pessimistic.
But I 've seen this school sink
from a mediocre reputation to a
downright shabb y one . I 've seen

Everything else came out as an

in class and remouth the
platitudes , and of " teachers "
who should be out somewhere

making an honest living. In other
words , I am bored by educat ion
as prac ticed at Bloomsburg Stat e
College .
I can ' t help it . I 've seen people

get through the English pro gram
up here without ever learn ing
how to write a cogent sentence .
I' ve seen guys who couldn 't even

concentrate long enough to read
the sex parts in "Dr. No " get
teachin g jobs in Creative

the intelligentsia to do something
(read : speak out ) for three years ,
only to see it finally happen when

the President is gone and no one

It' s the people here who were

interested in what makes me
schtick that 1 want to tha nk (the
rest can skip this part ).
There 's Al, for getting me into
this ; Myrr for a good story ; Dick
Savage for patience ; Ferdie for
the good advice . There 's Mr.
Hoffman , who , let' s not be frank
(pun .) , is the best thing that ever
happened to the M&G , and one of
the two men I've known worthy of
the title " teacher ." There 's Sue ,
who 's since found better ways of
getting her kicks , and Snod, for
getting me through some roug h
ones. There 's Joe , who has a good
nose for bullshit and Muffinburgers , and Sherm ju st
because I know he 's reading this .
And of course there 's Johann a .
Last but not lost is Jim . I never
told anybody before , but Jim is
really my brother.
So, I am getting out . At the very
least you 've seen my last breath
as feature editor . I might write
more from afar , I could stick
around a while for my friends .
Things aren 't sure . All I know is,
there 's a guy. by the name of
Theodore Sturgeon who said he's
waiting to see my name in print .
And don 't you worry . I 'm
prepared for the worst . Just in
case nothin g works out , I' ve put
in an application for a really
great-sounding job. As a porter in.

So, if ya ever want to look me
up, I 'll be around , somewhere.
I' m elusive, but easy to find . My
friends always know where I am.
( Some things remain constant. )
You can be sure I'll have changed
somewhat , but there still won 't be
anything important enough for
me to take completely seriously .
So — if you ever come looking for
me , just ask the right people.
I'll be away, doing the same
damn thing I 've always been
doing.

Up ( Up, and Aga inst the Wall
P ART II
by Blass ,
In answer to the oft-(twice)
asked quest ion, whatever happened to the second half of
Blass 's article on relevancy and
comic books? : I had it all ready
in my head and then they up and
cancelled "Green Lantern " on
me.
But that' s getting ahead of my
story.
When we last saw Green
Lantern , he had just been
prodded into social awareness by
a ghetto-dweller who asked him
why he wor ked for the blue skins ,
the orange skins ,, but never the
black skins. Green Lantern was
then enlisted by the more worldly
Green Arrow in a search Jor
America...an d the world of comic
books hasn 't been the same since.
In the months that followed ,
Green La ntern and Green Arrow
ran up again st archvillians of a
new breed , evil men who wor e not
long under wear but smiles ,
corrupt slumlord s , hardhead
hardhats , bigots , politicians , and
other
kin ds of inhuman
humanity . Why, it even turned
out tha t the Guardians of the
Universe , when irked , could put
on a trial just as ludicrous as
those held in Chicago and
Harrisburg . For a comic book ,
"Green Lante rn " looked awfully
believable.
No wonder...the scriptor ,
Denny O'Neil , wrote credible
dialogue. Sure , it was simplistic ,
far too dire ct to be used in
anythi ng BUT a comic—but it
was grea t comic book dialogue.
And whatever O'Neil lacked ,
artist Neal Adams possessed .
Adams , barel y out of his teens
and
almost
universally
recognized as the best artist in
his field, went to no little pains to
make the strip look authentic—
when the script called for a
ghetto scene, Adams went out to
the neares t neighborhood ghetto ,
spent days snapping pictures and
then drawing from them. Yes,
O' Neil and Adams were quite a
team ,..no wonder the competition
started getting worried...
Of c our se it all could have been
coincidental ...a fter all , Marvel
had been on top of the creativ e
comics business for high unto ten
years. And sales at Marvel were
going well , despite the loss of
artist Jack Kirby , who left the
Stan Lee bull pen in search of
more money at the DC corral.
Whatever , Marvel
started
swinging as they hadn 't since
Spider-Man first came onto the
scene.
Suddenly

Sub-Mariner started getting all
hot and bo t hered by the
pollutants mankind started
dum ping on him and his under
sea kingdom.
And
yet ,
s o mewhere ,
somehow ,
something was missing...
Tha t missing something
showed up in May of 1971 , with
the 96th issue of "The Amazing
Spider-Man. " Nothing looked
much different at first glance ,
there was Spidey crawling up the
usual wall to get away from the
usual befuddled police. At second
glance , t he blurbs began to look ,
uh , WEIRD-righ t in between "A
Job for Peter Parker! " and "The
Green Goblin Returns ' ." was

"The Last Fata l Trip!" and
"Mary Jane Knocks 'Em Dead!"
At third glance even -the most
casual of comic book readers
couldn 't hel p but notice—absen t
from the cover was that faithful
righthand corner watchtower ,
the seal of approval from the
Com ics Code Authori ty...
Marvel was taking a chance , a
big one , one that violated virtually the last (and stronges t? )
taboos—the one prohibitin g
mention of danger ous drugs ,
their use and abuse . Publishin g a
comic mentionin g meTe PILLS
was tantamou nt to losing
license—Marvel did it anyway,
and Spidey fought the pillpushers for an epic non-sea l three
issues. A rev olution was aborning, with or without the
approval of a "self-censori ng "
board... the question was, how
would tha t board reac t?
Mon ths passed . Spidey got his
seal back on issue No. 99, and
things looked norma l on the
outsides. But on the insides...comics were changing...
Superman lost his vulernability
to Kryptonite , Robin went to
college, Wonder Woman lost her
original hotpants and her
Amazon superpowers and went
into a more modern Women's
Lip-Emma Peel-t ype bondage ,
Harlan Ellison ( science fiction 's
most honored writer ) did a script
for the Incredible Hulk , Kirby
started a Fourth Worl d at least as
involved as Tolkien...things were
changing , some "before Green
La ntern 's crisis , some after...but
the word got around , and the ball
was rolling.
September of 1971 the ball;
bounced. Sky-high. Greens '
Lantern and Arrow , fresh out oi
featurin g overadventures
populated planets , W omen 's Lib '
monsters , plastic people , and the
dreaded Spiro Agnew , now faced
an even deadlier foe than the one
Spidey brought down in 96-98—
heroin.
GL No. 85 s cover blazoned
with heads , with blurbs like "The
Shocking Truth About Dr ugs!"
and "DC attacks youth' s greatest
problem... drugs!" To one side
stood Lantern , pointing, saying
"You alwa ys have all the answers , Green Arrow ! Well what' s
your answer to that—?" In the
foreground , a boy named speedy ,
married to the needle and the
spoon, clu tched his arm . To the
right , G reen Arro w , shocked , his
only answer a stricken "M y ward
is a JUNKIE!" And , in the upper
right corner , t he answ er , the
compromise , the sign of hope—
the Code of Approval.
The s t or y was
called
"Snowbir ds Don 't Fly. " The firs t
pi ece of di alo g ue was a
frighten ed junkie kid saying
"Man , I' m scared spitless ."
May be he was , but Denny O'Neil
wasn 't,..the story was concluded
i n t he nex t issue , entitled "They
Say It'll Kill Me...But They Won 't
Say When!" The second part not
onl y had t he App roval , it also
included filthy rich pushers ,
dea t h by overdose , and hones t
moral izing, all of which earned a
congratulatory message from
John Linds ay. History had been
challenge d, and made.
And wouldn 't you know , after
winning all sor ts of awards ,
breakin g dow n enough barriers
t o ge t the C ode rev ised . Green
Lantern got cancelled . The last
issue, No . 89. has Green Lantern
turning his ring on a nine-million
dollar supersoni c aircraft and
blowing it up. His final comment
before finishing into literar y
limbo ? "Send me a bill. "
No , it wasn 't the Comics Code
that killed the mag. And it wasn 't
rednecks outraged by issue No.
87. whic h featured a BLACK

Lantern—alth ough
Gree n
distributors south of the MasonDixon hurt sales drastically by
refusing to stock the mag. Wha t
happened was—Ne al Adams
refused to make the deadlines , so
the series had to be killed. But the
influence lives oh...
• But not at DC. DC is run by old
men , men who have been there
since the '30' s. You can tell by the
way everybod y in the DC mags
says "Right on" and "Outta
sight. " Without Green Lanter n,
and excludin g the three Kirby
mags , DC is hurting both itself
an d its readers.
Not so with Ma rvel. In the last
has
Ma rvel
few months
unleas h ed al l sor t s of new
goodies. Let' s see, t here was t he
Kree vs. Skru ll War in "The
Aven gers ," a galaxy-spanning
s t or y wh ich las t ed at leas t seven
issues , and last month' s H arlan
Ellison adapti on. There was the
return o! Dr. Strange , who's
al ways chan ging sides (and
artists ). Thor is getting closer
and closer to Norse mythology ,
and topping the originals. The
swords and sorcer y nuts have
Robert E. Howard' s K i ng K ull
again , and Conan the Barbarian
has re turned to a monthly basis.
Warlock is Rettin g his own mag

now , proving that any science
fiction comic whose six-monthold premiere is alread y worth
$5 . 00 can 't (and won 't ) be
ignored. The horror fans , now
free of the E.C. inspired Comics
Code, have their own "Tomb of
Dracula " and "Were wolf by
Night. " And there is finally
confirmation of the rumor I first
heard at the Lunacon—Mar vel is
going to do DC's new Edgar Rice
Burroughs kick one better by
introducing Doc Savage to
comics. All of which shows ,
Marvel has the youngest and
most talented wri ters and artists ,
and they take risks , do new
things. And when Mar vel' s
people REALLY get relevant .
God knows what will happen...you see. already Green
Lantern ' s p lace has b een
somewha t taken by Marvel 's
"Luke Cage. Here for Hire. " You
see. whereas Cap tain America ' s
buddy is black , he' s also named
Tom. and he ' s a s oc i al
worker...not to mention tha t
whenever trouble erup ts in the
ghetto Cap and the Falcon find
out it was all started by the Red
Skull, an ex-Nazi . Luke Cage is a
black man w ho esca pes f rom a
prison (he was framed ) by means
of a newly acquired superpowe r,
barely hinted at in the first

editor s ' not e :
O ver t he course of a long year
we ' ve all done a lot of work and
experienced a lot of things . We've
all helped bring the M&G t o a
point where it is serv ing t he
student body as a real news paper
instead of as a bulletin board.
And all of t ha t is t hanks to one
guy : Jim Sachetti.
Being Editor -in-chief of the
M&G is no fun job. take our word
for it. It ' s a lo t of work and swea t
wi thout much thanks . So
any t hing you get out of being an
ed it or is j us t t he p ersonal
satisfaction that you ' ve done a
job, and done it to the best of your
abili ty. Well, Jim must have a lot
of personal satisfa ction , because
he ' s damn veil done his best.
Jim has the good or bad (i t' s all
a ma tter of perso nal opinion )
charac ter trait of being able to
see both fides of any given
situation. Whethe r he agrees with

you or no t . he 'll listen to you and
let you try to change his mind.
Oh. and if you make a good point ,
he 'll give you credi t for it . A nd
that ' s wha t he' s t ried t o do all
year. Show both sides . And when
he gave people hell, he gave it to
even-body. He has a lot of personal in t egri ty as f ar as giv ing a
guy an even brea k is concerned .
Oh. and he's got a lot of balls, too .
He'd have to have them In order
to have put up with all that he has
t his year.
Well, this could go on forever .
so. to make things short , and to
cut out the schmaltz , we. the
editorial staff of the Maroon and
Gold, want it to go on record that
we think Jim Sachetti was a
damn good editor — the best the
M&G ever had. And we 'd like to
tha nk him for letting us work
wi th him. That 's all.
The editorial staff .
minus jim sachetti

issue...he is his own man . he has
no Capt ain America or Green
Lantern to steal all his glory. And
somewhere out in comic book
land are rumor s of a stri p called
"Blackman " ...
What does all this mean? Can
comics, which thriv e on fantasies
of power , also nurture on
relevancy , indeed litera cy? Can
they educate the young they
reach on thing s like* drugs and
pollution , does it do any good
when kids read that Superman is
"streak ing thro ugh the smogridden skies"? For over thirty
years comics were regarded as
subliterate JUN K—what happen s
if elementary teachers use
comics to tea ch , to instill interest? Will comics ever be the
same ?...
Probably not. Green Lantern
has left his mark. Young blood is
breaking in! and comics will be
an even better place for kids to
learn how to read and enjoy it.
That ' s how I started , and "I' ve
rea d them all th e way through the
Fifties anil into the Seventies ,
from the reign of stupidity to the
dawn of relevan ce...
And I promise I won ' t stop
read ing them until the day the
Incred i ble Hulk j o i ns G ay
Liberation and starts toting a
Bruce banner.. ,

Wrestlers cop NCAA , 29-3

The other BSC wins were too
numerous to mention , but let it be
said that the whole , team tried , '
even the . loser , whose , with all
due respects , name won 't be
mentioned .
Yes, sports fans , it was a grea t
year for the wrestlers , who
battled adversity throughout the
year. We at BSC can be proud of
this fine, outstanding, group of
men.
Extra : Coach Dusty Pout said
he felt this yea rs tea m was the
best in BSC history. Right - on.

Liberate the Pergola . Smiley and WilUman can 't write. Power to

Congratulations , Wrestlers ! Once again you 've shown great
tea m spirit in an all-out effort to bring BSC to the very top . And this
time it was the top of the top, to say the least . When the Bloomsburg
boys take the NCA A title , you know that they 're doing somethin g
ri ght.
We all know wha t a tough season its been , and the long hard
struggle tne Husk y matmen have been put through . A perfect allwin, no loss record is something to be pr oud of. But above all, the
boys deserve p ra ise and commendat ion for their ab ility to face the*
res igna tion of the ir coach , and yet go on alone , all t he way to the
top. And I guess we all owe a special thanks to Russ Houk , 'cause
even though we disagree w ith his politics, he did a damn good j ob of
training those boys to perfection !
A special thanks to Shor ty Hit chock , who acted as student coach
for the boys t his season , while Russ was out on the politica l front.
And ano ther t hanks t o Mr. H inkle for ac ti ng as financial mana ger
f or the season .
All you fans who sa t in t he stands t hrou ghou t the season know
wha t the boy s went thr ough in their diligent f igh t to pro t ect the
proud name of the BSC Huskies. So I take the privilege of speakin g
for a ll of Bloomsbur g in congra t ula ti ng our men in the ir man y
trials and tribulations. And a little something special for our
Associate Vice-President for Campus Services , El ton H uns inger ,
who we know wa s const an tly at t he boys' side, giving them pep
talks and advice. We know he never missed a match .
Once again , men , congra tulations on an unbelievable season !

love me no more than I love you if
you ever did and that' s saying a

Things ain 't exactly on the up
and up. I' m gettin ' tired of
writing with a slant. Dylan didn 't
say it, nor did Denny O'Neil. That
doesn 't matter cuz Ca ptain
America doesn 't need clothin g
shields. Ah, a sweaty prob lem.
They 're all your friends and
you love 'em each and every one.
That' s why you gotta cast lines
like everything I' ve ever written.
My purpose in life is ta shut
people up, or down , especially at
parties. See bein ' feature editor

Comptroller and Business
Manager — Deake Porter — an
M.A. in economics from Yale,
why not?
Director of Admissions — Dan
Skok — he knows more about it
than anyone else.
In a statement just released ,
President Andris the Second said,
"In making these appointments ,
I fully understand mat approval
must come from the Senate of
Bloomsburg State College. I have
complete faith in President
Reveremd Professor Doctor
William L. Carlow of the Senate
a nd the esteemed members of
that body, the brother s of S.O.B.,
that my appointments will
receive their unqualified endorsement. " The president' s
special three person advisory
committee (Professor Doctor
Hans Karl Gunther , Tom
Beveridge , and Bill Hess) have
rec ommende d that all persons
previousl y filling these positions
"should hold only faculty
teaching positions and should not
hold any administrative posts. If
this is not possible...they should
resign as soon as possible."
F.T.W.

ain 't easy, so I gotta keep a stock
pile of bad puns. They make good
conversation stoppers. I only use
them every other word...all this
groaning is gettin ' to me. Gotta
find a RE AL conversation
stopper .
Let' s see...
Hey , you guys ! Ever wonder
why I write about Waffies? Well,
it' s to start cheezy rumors and
spread them around.
•Didn't work . These groans are
almost as bad as the conversation . All they 're talkin '
about is politics anyway, and if I
don 't like it , it's lousy conversation.
Try again.
What' s the latest in the Papal
paternity suit? Oh, you're all
atheists and you don't care...
Who do you think is sexier ,
Carole King or Mark Farner? (I
wonder who that funny lookin'
guy in the corner who just pursed
his lips is?) No, no I don't wanna
see the mahvelus pehrshawn
rugs in your simply too much
apartment.
Well, I ain 't never gonna ever
not stop this conversation. So, in
the tr ue tradition of a Filth
Column I'll ramble ion for a while

about some things that are
thoroughl y unrelated to anything
I' ve written.
Yeah , I love 'em each and
every one. That doesn't mean I
have to put their stuff on MY
page . Bla ! sssssssss! All these
people buggin ' me. It ain't my
fault.
I mean I spend three years
trying to put THAT word in my
column and it' s a hard fought
battle . Now some schmuch tries
to print it every other issue. It
conies with the quat , so to speak .
Now I could drag this schtick
out even if wood doesn 't stretch ,
but my co-editor keeps yellin'
about how my article is too long.
Looks 'bout normal size to me.
Maybe he's trying to flatter
me. I have no desire to pancake
my talent. After all, I am the best
editor even if I can't do
headlines...
Bob Dylan .
So it doesn 't madder that I love
'em each and every one. Spiro T.
Angry makes sure of that. It
makes me want to go to Ire-land.
What , all this has to do with
conversa tion stoppers gets me?
I'll unplu g it. Some prize , even in

eminent of historians at that , we
feel we must commen t on the
recent editoria l which appeared
in your '' newspaper. " Being
historians , we noted with some
distress and no little ire , certain
errors and omissions of fact. 1
We have decided to fearless ly
speak out in defense of the local
campus Board of Governance2 ,
we have decided to brave the
grave danger of being denied
tenure , not as you say, for base,
selfish and par ochial interests ,
but in defense of all tha t is good
and clean , and above all, in
defense of the tru th.3
The truth is all that concerns
us , and we fail to comprehend

how "you" or others of your ilk ,
could dare to accuse us of acting
otherwise , or in violation of
princip les -which we hold dear to
our very bosoms.4
Having presented these factsS
we can only conclude that you,
being a mere student , a veritable

selfsame editorial to which we
refer . .

Within our sophistica ted, well
mannered society there are
persons of vulgar personality,
indecent behavior and indelicate
manner . Within this group of
ignoran t individuals lies a very
selective group of degenerate
persons that "belley-up " every
chance they get. These persons
are undoub t edly the ultimate
example of laxity in our social
structures r igidity towards t he
gross person. Seldom do you find
one of these societal swines in
jail. Rarely do you find one
re pr imanded f or h is blurts
against society. These devourin g
persons care noth ing about time ,
place or circums tance , if they
f eel in the mood to "bell y-up, "
they do just that and usually with
a disgusting air in their manner isms when doing it.
These unintelligent sicklings of
soc iet y are usually hard to
distinguish from t he more
learned , mannered ma jorit y, but
they do have a few distinguishin g
characterist ics : firs tly , the y are
loud and gross in p ubl i c ;
secondly, one gets the impression
that they are filled with nothing
but hot air ; and third ly, these
hoggish p eons never excuse
themselves.
to "belly-up" m entireties ana
places of business ; to blurt in
such loud , unmannered gross
f ash i ons ; t o do these things , and
more , and walk awa y with a
smile of pride from ear to ear is
the height of social laxit y and

should be remedied immediatel y.

These persons should be fined,
jailed and confined in such
quarters as their manneris ms
deserve. If stricter law 'enforcement doesn 't work , the

authorities are unable to handle

Bored of the Trustees -or
seven to nine angry men
by John Dempsey
and
Frank Pizzoli
Once upon a time , in the
gloomy land of Bloomsburg,
there existed seven to nine angry
members of the Bored of the
Trustees. They had come ages
and ages ago , long before
recorded time, from a shadowy,
misty land about 150 due southwest on Route 81, known as the
burg of HARRIS . After a short
time these seven to nine angry
men made a home in the burg of .
Bloom , each taking a nonpolitical job that gave them
strange and mysterious powers
in the area of politics.
These seven to nine angry men
looked upon their situation and
their powers , and they saw that it
was good , and they prospered.
But then , when the sky was black
and the wind was howling , a
stranger came to town , a
stranger who had "a lean and
hun gr y look" about him, and who
was BALD, and who went by the
name of R obert J . N ossen. This
st ran ger , called "N ossen " by his
f r iends , was named Pres ident of
the Ins ti tut ion t ha t the seven t o
nine angr y men ruled over ,
k now n as Bloomsbur g St ate
College, and the seven to nine
an gr y men became even an gr ier.
I t was soon to be real ized tha t, as
the nat ives say, hell ha t h no fury
like that of seven to nine angry
men scorned. Tension bu ilt in this
quite lit tle burg unt il even strong
men feared to enter the conf ines
of this institution and children ,
cats , and dogs dared not walk the
streets alone. Libations were
offered to the gods ever y evening

at a local tavern that was called
"Rocks " in the hope that peace
would once again return to the
quit e li ttle burg .
Trag ically , however , this man
known as "Nossen " found little
favor with two of the knights of
the Bored of the Tr ustees, knights
known as Russell Houk , the

hard to park their cars. These
seven to nine angry men soon
f ound themselves fi ghtin g
a mongst themselves over bat tle
tactics while the man known as
"Nossen " retreated to his mighty
fortress at 451 Buckalew Place
and suffered through the battle
silently, using only his mighty
memos, delivered by bis trus ty
page , Marilyn Muelholf , The
Secretary, as his weapons.
After a long time , the great
white God in the burg of Harris ,
who was more or less responsible
for this "whole goddamn mess,"
as the natives say, sent three of
his most trustworthy knights,
known as The Businessmen, to
set the sun shining over them ole'
cotton fields of Bloomsburg once
more. The Businessmen looked at
the situation and saw that it was
not so good, and wrote a report
which suggested that Russell
H ouk, The Unbel ievabl y Good,
Attila the Hunsinger , and Nossen,
get t he hell out of Dodge, as the
natives say.
This re port hit the seven or nine
angr y members of the Bored of
the Trus tees like the Edsel hit
DeBuke , Montana , and had the
ef f ec t of a fl y speck on an
elephant' s ass, as the nat ives say .
The man known as Nossen
realized that the time had come
to fade back to the land from
whence he came , which no one
was really sure about in the . first
place , and resigned. The seven to
nine angr y men of the Bored of
the Trustees did not agree with
the
suggest ions of the
B usinessmen , however , and
fought it wit h ever y ounce of their
strength. The mighty God in the
burg of Harris , Milton , the
Marvelous , known to his friends
as Uncle Milty, was not pleased.
In fact , he was quite pissed, as
the natives say, and took out his
wrath on two of the seven to nine
angry men , the two known as
Frank Fay , The Awfully Silent,
and Joe Nespoli, The Jewel ,
collectively known as The Not So - Well - Liked Knights. Milton 's
mighty voice ran g out in anger
and he threatened to banish the
seven and - or nine members of
the Bored of the Trustees back to
where they whence came , which
no one is too sure of, and the
seven and - or. nine angry men
stiffled themselves for about a
week.
once again , peace ruled over

Unbelievabl y Good, and Attila
the Hunsinger , and let it be
known far and wide that he had
found displeas ure with them.
Soon , to use a folklore expression of the natives , the shit
hit the fan and havoc was
wrecked on the students , the
town , and all living objects within
a ra dius of ten to twenty miles.
The battle stretched on and on.
and the natives who speak of it the small burg of Bloom and the
now refer to it as the awesome children , cats , and dogs took to
"Three Year 's War. " As the war the streets once more. And , as the
stretched on, the bodies of fallen natives have been known to say
soldiers were littering the on occasion all' s well that ends
streets , and the natives found it well.
