Boa rd Prepa res Guide To Hel p
Teachers Deal With Racial Slurs

The board of Education has prepared a guide that tells teachers
how to reply when their pupils use
szich derisive racial terms as
"whitey " or suggest that Italians
are gangsters and Jews seek special treatment.
The guide, made public by the
Bureau of Curricular Development,
said, for example, that when a Negro uses the w6rd "whitey" a good
response would be:
"Did you ever see pictures of
southern mobs when civil rights
workers go by? What do their
faces show? Aren 't you showin g
the same thing? "
The answer to a pupil' s saying
"Puerto
Ricans cause slums"
might be:
"We had city slums long before
Puerto Ricans arrived. Slums are
the result of year s of neglect and
failure by the City government and
the general public in urban planning. "
If a pupil says: "My father says
that when he was in the Arm y all
the Jewish soldiers had soft jobs
away from the fighting," the reply
would be: "How does the Arm y assign men into combat units? Do
you believe assignments are made
on the basis of religious background s?" If another asks: "Wh y
are Italians gangsters?" the response might be "Crimes are committed by people of various backgrounds . They are not related to
any particular group. Television
progr ams such as "The Untouchables," lead to false generalizations
about crime and nati onalit y."
Why Negroes Riot
In answer to why Negroes riot ,
y_ the suggested reply is: "People riot
""when they feel there is no other
way to obtain what they believe to
y
7 be their legitimate rights."
When a Negro child resents the
use of the word "Negroes" and insists on "black people" the guide's
suggested response is:
"I can understand your feelings
about the word "Negro." It originated as a racial classification of
Africans during the period of slavery. However, the term "black people" is also objectionable to many
people. Perhaps the most precise
and correct term is "Afro-American or African-American."
When a white child states: "Everybody should have his rights but
why can't they take it easy. You
can't change things overnight," the
response indicated is "Would you
say that 300 years is overnight?
How long should people wuit for
their civil rights?"
When a pupil says: "Everybody
knows that the Irish drink too
muc h ," the answer could be: "Who
is everybody? Excessive drinking
is found among many groups. Alcoholism is recognized as a social
disease of our times and alcoholics
require treatment to help them overcome the need for drinking."
A Vietnam Paralleled
If a pupil says: "Japanese people
are sneaky," the response might be
"The United States Army Attacks
the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces in South Vietnam without warning. Does that moan Americans are sneaky? All Japonose did
not agree with military leaders of
Japan who carried out the air attacks on Hawaii and othor United
States bases in the Pacific."
In dealing with obscene language
the guide notes: "Habitual profanity li often not directed at tho
teacher or fellow student. A boy
¦ays, "Mr
-, I lost my
book."
The suggested reply: "Tho word

you used to describe the book
doesn 't tell me which book you
lost. It is also not the kind of language we use in class."
Among possible approaches suggested is "Recreate a classroom situation in which there was a verbal
exchange between two pupils who
used obscene language. Tape the
exchange and play it back. "
"Ask pupils to record profane
and obscene words they hear or
read and indicate the circumstances under which they were
used ," was another suggestion.
"Select excerpts from Shakespeare 's works which contain profane or obscene expressions ," the
guide advised. "Explain Shakespeare 's reason for using these exp ressions. "
The guide also includes the American Indian , t h e Ch inese, the
Poles, and the Swedes with information on their contributions to
American culture.
Dr. Bernard E. Donovan , Superintend ent of Schools , said the
guide , "is a direct approach to the
problem of interpreting the culture and contributions of all minority group s which have in the past

Aviation Education News Bulletin—Growth of aviation education
at all levels has been described as
"fantastic" by Cessna Aircraft
Company since introduction of the
company's Air Age Education programs two years ago. Officials
stated that a 000% increase in high
school activity and a 400% increase at the college level has been
measured by the company since instituting Its Air Age Education
programs.
When the company first .surveyed aviation education courses
being taught in the nation's sch ools
in late 1068, there were only 66
high schools offering aviation
courses for credit. By January,
1968, the number had jumped to
401. Before Cessna's Junior college
program was announced, there
were 21 colleges offering programs
in aviation. Today, the company

FLY (In an airplane),

By Brian McLernan
Last Thursday night , as occasionally happe ns, in my sometimes
dubious wanderin g, I was sitting
in the Maroon and Gold office trying to wri te. This is often as difficult an assignment as sitting in the
John , trying to read the Reader 's
Digest. Thursday night was one of
those nights, for outside in the
hall , BSC' s new left were holding
a rally.
- Yes, our lovely radical s, who answered an M&G ad for prospective
members to an SDS-like organization , were holding a meeting.
The meeting was under the jurisdiction of BSC's very own Eldrige Cleaver , a so-called intellectual , graduate student . Thin gs were
well organized . Our leader showed
up 35 minutes late,
There was a good turn-out , perhaps 30 students , which is equal to
somewhere in the neighborhood of
.6% of the Bloomsburg student
body—a representative group.
Debate was long and violent concerning the name of the organization which would represent BSC's
brave , modern loft. They were
afraid to have themselves referred
to as SDS because they felt tha t the
Bloomsburg student body would
not openly suppor t an SDS chapter , so they adopted (for the time
being at least) the name SCRU.
That' s students for something or
other . Now, many of the students
in attendance felt that SCRU involved a concept entirel y too liberal to bo connected with BSC' s new
left , so further debate regarding
the name of the organization was
tabled pending a later mooting.
As Is the case with all "radical"
organizatio ns SCRU then turned its
att ention toward action. After all ,
what good is a radical left wi t hout
somethin g to protest. Everyone In
attendance had their particular
boots, but no one could exactly pin*

w

point what was bugging him. So,
for the next forty-five minutes or
so, the vast membership tried to
select a cause against which to
demonstr ate.
"Well , how about women's
hours ?" said one girl who looked
as if she had no real reason to be
concerned .
"No , we can't talk about that ,
there isn 't justification for widespread support"
"How about booze on campus?"
said a pimply 18 year old.
"No , the state owns the campus,
I suppose they can say what happens on their land. "
"Well — how about studen ts '
rights?"
"You 've got it. We'll protest
about students ' rights. How do we
go about prote sting?"
"We 'll organize a demonstration. "
"Where?"
"I don't know."
"Well when shall we have it? "
"First weekend there isn't something going on."
General assent , "But who's gonna lead it?"
"That is a problem—we need a
loader. "
"Where can we find one?"
"Well , the samo place the CGA
finds theirs. "
"Oh. "
At 0:45 the mooting adjourn ed after rol l was taken and another
mooting scheduled.
And so, the students of BSC join

sufllclently understood protest of

It is extremely interesting, I
think , to listen to the comments
concernin g the new volume of Gadfly which have st arted to p our
forth. Generally, people seem to
feel that the quality and content
of the paper is acceptable and that
it is again performing a service to
t he coll ege. However , the comment
relating to the paper , which I
thought was great , was made by a
facul ty membe r who is noted for
Ms liberal views. He said something to this effect: "The Gadfl y
is great as long as the people who
write it don 't get into power. " Immediately I was struck with the
wisdom of his statement and my
faith in the sensibility of the facu lty wa s restored.
In the editori al of the first Gadfly of the semester , the editor
stated that the reason for his deciding to publish once more was
because "the Maroon and Gold has
again imposed censorship rules ...
t h a t . . . endanger not only the fundamental rights of speech and
pres s, but also that of free inquiry
in an academic environment. " As
far as I can ascertain , this statement was the result of a decision
by the editor of the M&€ not to
pub lish an article called "The Student as Nigger ," because it contained a larg e numbe r of off-color
phra ses and words. As a feature
editor of the paper , I offered to
print the article , which I felt was
a good one, if some of these offensive words and phr ases were deleted. This, of course , was not acceptable to the editor of the Gadfly and he accused me of being
a coward and then proceeded to
publi sh his own paper.
Glaring Error
There is, however, one comment
which I feel forced to make about
the entire matter and which also
applies to a predominance of the
so-called "liberal faction " of the
college community. The editor of
the Gadfly is clearly guilty of a
glaring and terribly unwise inconsistency in both his reasoning and
actions. Because he wanted to overcome the very minor censorship
rules of the M&G , the editor of the
Gadfly began to publish again. Why,
however, did this editor censor the
very article which he refused to
print in its origin al form? How can
the editor of the Gadfly accuse the
M&G of self-imposed censorship
when he imposes the same thing
on his own paper? At best , his actions are inconsistent , but at worst ,
they are typical of an entire body
of thinking which occurs at BSC.
Of course the Gadfly contains other
mat eria l besides t he "Student as
Nigger " article , but this one inciden t seems to detract a great degree of the respectability which the
G adfly enjoyed under Lylc Slac k
last year.
The trend in thinking, which I
ment ioned a moment ago seems to
elude being named , but p erha ps
the word " su p erficial " might suffice. This body of thinking is characterized by a lack of self-control ,
a com p lete lack of di plomac y and
tact , and an utter disre gard of
common sense. For instance , we
have seen a number of instance s
at CGA meetin gs in which certain
liberals displayed disgusting fits of
impatience and lapses in good politics, Statements such as "I want
the administration out of here " are
simply not good sense. Walking out

accomplishes nothing except contributin g even more to the' truth of
, a "student as nigger" concept Going into an open hearing and
abru ptly making demands and accusations is hardly good manner s
or even simple logic. Advocating
t hat we sta ge a demonstration and
th en askin g "What should we dem- ,
onstrate about ?" borders on simple
stupidity.
Poster iors Exposed
But enough of this, the list is too
l on g and de pressin g. The point I
am tr ying to make, is that the reason progress is slow and sporad ic
at BSC is tha t our "liberals " consistentl y and .almost willingly make
asses out of themse lves. How can
p rogress b e made when at facult y
meetin gs, professors rise , and in a '
t orren t of b iti ng sarcasm , make
their liberal views known? That
course of action , I think , is one
of the easiest ways to turn people off to listening to your
ideas. Because this college is
so drearily middle-class and thus
conservat ive, nothing can be^.accomplished from the high-pressure ,
no-thinking tactics which we have
seen so often. I do not think I
would be too wron g in saying that
one of the reasons why the current
Dean of Students was appointed ,
was because of all the noisy and
opposition which
uncoordinated
was voiced . Perhaps if we would
have had some concerted action ,
the appointment would havfc at
least been held in abeyance.
Illusive Solution
The situation , as I have described it, unfortunatel y does exist ,
but , however, I am unable to supply a solution at the present time.
One thing which we must have , of
course , is some sort of organization 'which would present a program of concerted action and coherent demands. This organization
would exist for the single purpose
of rationally discussing the needed
reforms and in formulating ways
to bring them about. Presently,
however, there are too many people around here who are imbued
with the shrill of their own voices
and th e smell of t he ir own swea t .
They accuse others of censorship,
while practicing it themselves;
they demand reforms , but can't decide how to get them; they like the
reputation of being liberals and
"pr o" student , but they're really
sophists; they want to free students from their yoke of nigge r,
but they 're just niggers to another
master.
As we prepare for exams and get
r ead y for t h e summer , it might be
wise to consider this thought: At
BSC we have rightists , Neo-Nazi s,

The BSC Chess Team finishe s a
winning season by takin g second
place in the Penns ylvania College
Chess League Tournament , held at
Shiptffensburg State College last
weekend. Their only loss was to
Dickinson , whose team recentl y
finished seventh overall in a nationwide college tournament.
Dickinson also wal ked away with
the PCCL trophy, by becoming
Western Division cham pions and
then defeating BSC, the Eastern
Division winners. The Husk y .Rooks
had to get past F&M , Muhlenber g
and a tough Lehigh team to take
division honors. Dickinson 's competition included Gettysbur g, ' Shippensburg State , and Messiah.
Len Thomas , Husky first board
and the only graduatin g senior , had
never won an individual troph y until the SSC tourney, where he won
two. One was for best score on
first board , and th e other was f or

second place in a special "rapid
transit" tourney (time limit 5 minutes per player ) , where he lost
only to Pete Flowers of Dickinson.
Len is ending a great chess career
at BSC, and the team will miss him.
The Husky Rooks also won their
9th consecutive Pennsylvania State
College Chess championship, defeating the only challenger , Shippensburg, by a score of 4-0. The
team 's overall year 's record is 7-2-1,
compiled by Len Thomas , Carl
Nauroth , Ken Drake , Dennis Plymette (who also serves 'as treasurer) , and Dave "Frosh" Sheaffe r
(who is the equi pment custodian ).

Peach A venue
Volleyball

by Alchy
Over the past week or so the
lights at Remely Stadium (for the
uninitiated , between 8th St. &
Peach Ave.) have been turned on
for the evening volleyball games.
The stalwart players emerge from '
their respective abodes and prepar e to do battle for the "Rooster
Cup " (there are six roosters penned up in an adjacent yard ), one
of the most coveted of all volleyball trophies.
Playing at Remely Stadium is an
experience for the men who daily
r isk their lives t o get that white
ba ll in spi ke position. Within the
confines of the official playing area
there ar e man y h azar d s, such as
w ire fence s th at r ise verticall y
from the out-of-bound lines, a broken concre t e wa lk that lines one
side of the fie ld , a ',4-inch wire

to a solid wooden stud , which supp orts the porch to one house , as

under these adver se conditions is

The list of demands handed

included :

b) Purchase of two and a half

Guatamala , seeing their chance

Pitcairn Island was torpedoed

Madagascar was invaded without

There was also a need to identify
with somebody and we felt that we
could identify with Chicken Man
faster than with Winnie , who has
some conservative tendencies.
Q: Wh at' s that thin g between
you r legs?
A: A drum .
Q: Why do you always have it
with you?
A: Well , it was a toss up between
a drum and Winnie the Pooh. A
drum is easier to carry than Winnie and besides , if you can get
Winnie the Pooh between your
legs, you're hurting, haby .
• Q: Why do you wear moccasins
instead of shoes?
A: Well , it was a toss up between
moccasins and Winnie the Pooh
and if you ever get Pooh on your
feet , your hurting, baby.
Q: I understan d that most indian
names have a meaning. What does
yours mean?
A: Very literally translated it
means, "He who comes with great
urgency to stand before the falling
star and vindicate himself; one
who vindicates himself because he
has been grieviously wronged
and ..." (at this point it becomes
a bit redundant. )
Following this question , the
chief raised two fingers. He was
asked if this was the international
peace symbol and he repl ied, "No.
it means I have to go." At that
point he went.

Chief Pisyaov , a Grad Student
from Plavitt , Wyoming, is this
week' s Horsefl y PMOC. The chief
has become famous about the campus for organizing the SFA and
demanding Aboriginal Studies. The
following is an informal interview
with the chief.
Q: What is the purpose of the
SFA and what are its plans?
A: Our basic purpose is to provide enough activities to keep kids
here on weekends. As far as plans ,
our first objective is to conquer
the "job J ohnnie " up on the construction site. "We will use that as
our headquarte rs and then organize enough people to flush every
toilet on campus at the same time ,
thus destroying the campus sewer
system , and simultaneousl y causing a sewer back-up into the
b?thioom in the president' s house
flooding the building with objectional refuse , drenching the president with noxious smelling liquid ,
thus causing the DPI to relieve
him of his position because his lack
of personal hygiene would deem
him to be "unbecomin g a college
president. "
Q: We notice that the SFA has
adopted a flag with a picture of
Chicken Man printed on it. What
does this flag signify?
A: We really dig liber als , so it
was a t oss u p bet ween Ch ick en M an
and W innie the Pooh . We cou ld n 't
get the copyri ghts on Winnie 's picture so Ch icken Man won.
