New dorm to be erected
by Lorraine Fioretti
A new addition to the BSC
campus is slated for the near
future, hopefully eliminating
tripling problems in dormitories. By the fall of 1976, the
College should have a new
residence hall, according to
Boyd Buckingham .
The new residence hall will
be constructed on the site of old .
Waller Hall, which has not been
used for the past two years.
Waller Hall, at v ar ious t imes ,
has been used as a library ,
dining hall and dormitory.
Up until last fall, the college
book store was located in t h e
basement of Waller , along with
the Student Bank. Several
offices for faculty members
and organizations , including
the Maroon and Gold were on
the other floors.
The new building, will have
125 rooms, or 250 beds. It will
contain an elevator, costing an
additional $80,000, and will be
built of;brick similar to that
used in. the surrounding
buildings.
As of now, the contract has
not been awarded . Bids from
five contractors - Ray Hedden
of Nanticoke, Joseph Rado of
Berwick, Herre Broth ers of
H a r r i s b ur g , H o w a r d
Organization of Bloomsburg,
and Grindell Electric Company
of Scranton - exceeded the
approved
allocation
of
$2,100,000 by $139,727.

EDITORIAL 1
The underlying tone of this nation 's moral outlook today is
one of exhaustion . A citizen can 't turn to political servants
enmeshed in corruption. He can 't escape the sword of inflation or the pinch of recession impinging on America 's
economy.
He can no longer turn even to the simple joys of a pure ,
unfettered country side without reminders of the city he left
behind. We believe at this point , the demoncratic system av
we know it is breaking down ; and as it falters , something
must take its place.
A new definition of leadership must replace the o.
political hack . People are beginni ng to see there are common problems , common causes. They 're beginning to agree
that , yes, something certai nly must be done.
Our weapon is in the power of numbers for there is no
legitimate argume nt against the desires of the majority. In
this unity, the power will retur n to the people and here lies
our hope. We stan d too close to the brink of destruction to
just give up. Isn 't it all worth more than that?

Pregnant
and waiting
¦
^
by P a tF a rna ck
Supposedly all good things
take time. If you think that's
a cliche, you're right. That ,
however, is the reason I attribute to all the time the campus
radio station is taking to come
into the world.
It's true that Bloomsburg has
been "pregnant" with the notion of expanding student communications as well as enlarging our Speech-Communications departments for quite a
long time. As a matter of fact ,
the gestation period is "T minus
10 years and still counting ."
What's holding this thing up
then? Well , supposedly our
long awaited arrival is enrou te
to us right now in brown boxes.
m^
I wonder how much longer our
"labor " will take.
There is a real concern that
by the time the equipment does
arrive, interest will be on the
wane. Certainly none of us
involved in the conception of the
idea want to see this happen.
Once the equipment does arriv e, the campus station can
make a go of it with your
support and help. So even if
you 're not interested in actually coming in and doing some
things physically at that metaphorical (hopefully not for long)
sta tion in the sky, please lend
us your ear at least. . .we 'll
need that much for sure.

wick Rotarians on Saturday.
Dottie Kester , Lisa Mowery
and Billy Slusser were among
the fifty handicapped elementary students from the Berwick
area selected by school nurses
for the outing .
The group met at the Berwick
YMCA at 11:00 a.m., where they
were served cookies and milk
and were entertained by a ma-
gician. The children were delighted by his sleight of hand
tricks.
Con's Supply was the next
stop. Each child was permitted
to select a toy. THe children
were wide-eyed with excitement at the large variety of
toys, dolls , games and books.
The children were then transported to Racusin 's where they
were allowed to spend $15. The
majority bought articles of
clothing to give to members of
their families for Christmas. ,
Following the shopping spree
they enjoyed lunch at Carrol 's.
Transportation was provided
by a school bus, while a special
bus from Intermediate Unit 16
was used for those requiring
wheel-chairs.
Rotarians, Key Club members, school nurses, teachers
and aides provided supervision
and assistance.
"The experience was so wonderful ," claimed one of the accompaning teachers, "that it
would be difficult to determine
who had more fun — the adults
or the kids. "

Veteran s to receive
federal aid increas e
By Barry Hartzell
The House and Senate voted by an overwhelming margin on a bill
providing for the largest increase in educational benefits for veterans
since World War II , overriding President Ford 's veto.
The measure calls for a 22.7 per cent increase in benefits for 11
million veteran s of the Vietnam War and the period between the
Korean and Vietnam wars .
The bill also extends benefits for undergraduates from 36 to 45
mon ths. »In addition , it prov ides for direct loans of $600 per year for
veteran students. It also includes an increase in tutorial assista nce
from $50 to $60 per month and from 9 to 12 months.
The bill , passed on Wednesda y, December 3, will be retroact ive
from September 1 and estimates range from 15 to 20 days for reimbursemen ts to fall semester veterans.
President Ford vetoed theJrill because he considered it inflat ionary .
However , the President of the Nat ional Association of Concerned
Veterans siad it was a sound investmen t . He explained that for ever y
dollar invested in educationa l benefi ts for veterans , the government
stood to gain $3 to $6 in income ta xes due to the increased earning
power of educated Veterans .

Seniors question
gradua tion year
By ueo Arbog ast
Problems of class iden-
tification are being worked out
in the Obiter office. December
graduates of 1975 will be given
the option of havin g their
pictures in the 1975 or 1976
yearbook.
When winter commencement
was held in January , all three
commencements were in the
same calendar year. Everyone
was considered to be in the
same graduatin g class.
However , the Winter com- mencement is now moved up to
December. Those students who
are December , gra duates are
considered to be members of
the
class
graduating
f ollowing year.
the
For the Obiter , this presents
a problem . Seniors graduating
in December may not understand that they are con-
sidered members of the same
class as those seniors
gra duating the f ollowing May
or August. As a result; they
may find their pictures in the
wrong book.
To resolve this problem , the
Obiter is giving the graduates
of December 1975 the option of
having their pictures in either
the 1975 or the 1976 yearbook .
They can make this choice by
having their pictures taken
with the class with which they
wish to be associated .
Pictures being made on
campus this academic year will
appear in the 1975 yearbook. *
Any December graduates who
elect to have their pictures in
the 1975 book should note this on
their activity card when the *
pictures are made.

The varsit y also
ca p tured the second match
early lead before settling for a
hard fought 24-18 victory over
Roger Sanders young varsi ty.
The match was modified for
the alumni a bit by cutting the
total wrestling time in half and
by eliminating the 118 Jb.
weight class. To compensate ,
two wrestling matc hes were
held at the 158 and 167 classes.
Keith Taylor , an alumnus
who compiled a 92-3 record at
Bloomsburg edged freshman
Carl Puff 7-4 in the first match
giving the alumni a quick 3-0
lead .
The alu mni dominated the
lower weight classes capturing .
both the 134 1b. and 142 lb.
mathces . The latter match
ended in a pin as Jim Rolley
conquered Hus ky co-captain
Randy Watts in the second
period giving the alu mni a 12-0
bulge.
Chicky Carter cut the deficit
in half with an impressive win
over alumni Dennis Siegmann ,
Carter was in comman d all the
way and took only 27 seconds to

pin his foe.
The alumni then capt ured
both the 158 lb. events to take
an 18-6 lead. Both were nip and
tuck battles as former NAIA
champ ( 1967 ) Joe Gerst edged
Don , Zimmerman with , a
takedown in the last 13 seconds
and Rocky Fotte edged the
Hu skies Bill Cooper 1- 0.

Rohm was a 12lett er winner in the early oo's
and wps one of the fi rs t NAIA
cutting the deficit to 18-12.
Freshman star Steve Scleib
edged former Ail-Americ an
(1963) and state champion
( 1962-63) Bob Hall in the 177
event to pull the Huskie s within
one match of tying the meet at
18-15.
However , former Husky national champ " Shorty " Hitchcock crushed the Husky comeback by pinning John Rogers
and clinching the victory.
The Vars ityrAlumni match ,
held at Nelso Fieldhouse , was
sponsored by the BSC Alumni

The
major goal of the newly formed

The alumni group has
establi shed a Wrestling Ha ll of

New dorm to be erected
by Lorraine Fioretti
A new addition to the BSC
campus is slated for the near
future, hopefully eliminating
tripling problems in dormitories. By the fall of 1976, the
College should have a new
residence hall, according to
Boyd Buckingham .
The new residence hall will
be constructed on the site of old .
Waller Hall, which has not been
used for the past two years.
Waller Hall, at v ar ious t imes ,
has been used as a library ,
dining hall and dormitory.
Up until last fall, the college
book store was located in t h e
basement of Waller , along with
the Student Bank. Several
offices for faculty members
and organizations , including
the Maroon and Gold were on
the other floors.
The new building, will have
125 rooms, or 250 beds. It will
contain an elevator, costing an
additional $80,000, and will be
built of;brick similar to that
used in. the surrounding
buildings.
As of now, the contract has
not been awarded . Bids from
five contractors - Ray Hedden
of Nanticoke, Joseph Rado of
Berwick, Herre Broth ers of
H a r r i s b ur g , H o w a r d
Organization of Bloomsburg,
and Grindell Electric Company
of Scranton - exceeded the

EDITORIAL 1
The underlying tone of this nation 's moral outlook today is
one of exhaustion . A citizen can 't turn to political servants
enmeshed in corruption. He can 't escape the sword of inflation or the pinch of recession impinging on America 's
economy.
He can no longer turn even to the simple joys of a pure ,
unfettered country side without reminders of the city he left
behind. We believe at this point , the demoncratic system av
we know it is breaking down ; and as it falters , something
must take its place.
A new definition of leadership must replace the o.
political hack . People are beginni ng to see there are common problems , common causes. They 're beginning to agree
that , yes, something certai nly must be done.
Our weapon is in the power of numbers for there is no
legitimate argume nt against the desires of the majority. In
this unity, the power will retur n to the people and here lies
our hope. We stan d too close to the brink of destruction to
just give up. Isn 't it all worth more than that?

Pregnant
and waiting

by P a tF a rna ck
Supposedly all good things
take time. If you think that's
a cliche, you're right. That ,
however, is the reason I attribute to all the time the campus
radio station is taking to come
into the world.
It's true that Bloomsburg has
been "pregnant" with the notion of expanding student communications as well as enlarging our Speech-Communications departments for quite a
long time. As a matter of fact ,
the gestation period is "T minus
10 years and still counting ."
What's holding this thing up
then? Well , supposedly our
long awaited arrival is enrou te
to us right now in brown boxes.
m^
I wonder how much longer our
"labor " will take.
There is a real concern that
by the time the equipment does
arrive, interest will be on the
wane. Certainly none of us
involved in the conception of the
idea want to see this happen.
Once the equipment does arriv e, the campus station can
make a go of it with your
support and help. So even if
you 're not interested in actually coming in and doing some
things physically at that metaphorical (hopefully not for long)
sta tion in the sky, please lend
us your ear at least. . .we 'll
need that much for sure.

The group met at the Berwick
YMCA at 11:00 a.m., where they
were served cookies and milk
and were entertained by a ma-
gician. The children were delighted by his sleight of hand
tricks.
Con's Supply was the next
stop. Each child was permitted
to select a toy. THe children
were wide-eyed with excitement at the large variety of
toys, dolls , games and books.
The children were then transported to Racusin 's where they
were allowed to spend $15. The
majority bought articles of
clothing to give to members of
their families for Christmas. ,
Following the shopping spree
they enjoyed lunch at Carrol 's.
Transportation was provided
by a school bus, while a special
bus from Intermediate Unit 16
was used for those requiring
wheel-chairs.
Rotarians, Key Club members, school nurses, teachers
and aides provided supervision
and assistance.

would be difficult to determine
who had more fun — the adults
or the kids. "

Veteran s to receive
federal aid increas e
By Barry Hartzell
The House and Senate voted by an overwhelming margin on a bill
providing for the largest increase in educational benefits for veterans
since World War II , overriding President Ford 's veto.
The measure calls for a 22.7 per cent increase in benefits for 11
million veteran s of the Vietnam War and the period between the
Korean and Vietnam wars .
The bill also extends benefits for undergraduates from 36 to 45
mon ths. »In addition , it prov ides for direct loans of $600 per year for
veteran students. It also includes an increase in tutorial assista nce
from $50 to $60 per month and from 9 to 12 months.
The bill , passed on Wednesda y, December 3, will be retroact ive
from September 1 and estimates range from 15 to 20 days for reimbursemen ts to fall semester veterans.
President Ford vetoed theJrill because he considered it inflat ionary .
However , the President of the Nat ional Association of Concerned
Veterans siad it was a sound investmen t . He explained that for ever y
dollar invested in educationa l benefi ts for veterans , the government
stood to gain $3 to $6 in income ta xes due to the increased earning
power of educated Veterans .

Seniors question
gradua tion year
By ueo Arbog ast
Problems of class iden-
tification are being worked out
in the Obiter office. December
graduates of 1975 will be given
the option of havin g their
pictures in the 1975 or 1976
yearbook.
When winter commencement
was held in January , all three
commencements were in the
same calendar year. Everyone
was considered to be in the
same graduatin g class.
However , the Winter com- mencement is now moved up to
December. Those students who
are December , gra duates are
considered to be members of
the
class
graduating
f ollowing year.
the
For the Obiter , this presents
a problem . Seniors graduating
in December may not understand that they are con-
sidered members of the same
class as those seniors
gra duating the f ollowing May
or August. As a result; they
may find their pictures in the
wrong book.
To resolve this problem , the
Obiter is giving the graduates
of December 1975 the option of
having their pictures in either
the 1975 or the 1976 yearbook .
They can make this choice by
having their pictures taken
with the class with which they
wish to be associated .
Pictures being made on
campus this academic year will
appear in the 1975 yearbook. *
Any December graduates who
elect to have their pictures in
the 1975 book should note this on
their activity card when the *
pictures are made.

hard fought 24-18 victory over
Roger Sanders young varsi ty.
The match was modified for
the alumni a bit by cutting the
total wrestling time in half and
by eliminating the 118 Jb.
weight class. To compensate ,
two wrestling matc hes were
held at the 158 and 167 classes.
Keith Taylor , an alumnus
who compiled a 92-3 record at
Bloomsburg edged freshman
Carl Puff 7-4 in the first match
giving the alumni a quick 3-0
lead .
The alu mni dominated the
lower weight classes capturing .
both the 134 1b. and 142 lb.
mathces . The latter match
ended in a pin as Jim Rolley
conquered Hus ky co-captain
Randy Watts in the second
period giving the alu mni a 12-0
bulge.
Chicky Carter cut the deficit
in half with an impressive win
over alumni Dennis Siegmann ,
Carter was in comman d all the
way and took only 27 seconds to

The alumni then capt ured
both the 158 lb. events to take
an 18-6 lead. Both were nip and

Don , Zimmerman with , a
takedown in the last 13 seconds
and Rocky Fotte edged the

Freshman star Steve Scleib
edged former Ail-Americ an
(1963) and state champion
( 1962-63) Bob Hall in the 177
event to pull the Huskie s within
one match of tying the meet at
18-15.
However , former Husky national champ " Shorty " Hitchcock crushed the Husky comeback by pinning John Rogers
and clinching the victory.
The Vars ityrAlumni match ,

The alumni group has
