"The reason I came to Muncy
is because I don't like jails."
This is the view of Ms. Susan*
Reed, Deputy Superintendent
of the Muncy Correctional
Institute. Ms. Reed and two
residents of Muncy, Ms.
Caroline Saunders (originally
from Philadelphia) and Ms.
Anita
"Joey "
Matias
(originally from Hawaii) ,
visited BSC on February 27. A
meal at the Commons and
quick tour of the campus was
followed by a discussion of
Muncy in North Hall.
Muncy Correctional Institute
is located by Williamsport. It
houses anywhere from 107 to
200 women and 17 men at a
time. (The men are a recent
addition,) The residents, aging
from 18 and up, have some of
the longest records for some of
the most serious crimes.
Moreover , Muncy has the
problems that go along with

"To be the voice for all the students" - this will be the major aim of next year's CGA as
described by Stan Toczek, president-elect of the CGA.
Playing a major part in achieving that goal will be the other newly-elected officers (1. to r.)
Anne McMunn , presently recording secretary will take over the job of vice-president , Janet .
Stump will act as recording secretary while Becky Thorpe will take on the job of corresponding
secretary , and Betsey Miller will assume the role of treasurer.
Unlike previous years, this year's elections were held early in the semester to allow the new
officers time to become accustomed to their jobs and to outline plans for their term in office,

Not long ago there was a j iews bulletin that a prisoner ..
""serving a life- sentence had
escaped frorn ^ Muncy . Ms.
Reed commented , "You read all
about^a^ 'lifer' escaping from
Muncy. What you didn 't read is
that she turned herself in."
Joey had tried to escape from
Muncy. She talked about it
saying, "I didn 't have
anywhere to go. I was just
having problems adjusting to
this different kind of set-up. I
was a fighter ."
Acts such as escaping,
fighting, overt sexual behavior
and alcohol may cause a
'woman to wind up in Clinton.
Both Caroline and Joey have
had experiences in Clinton.
Both spoke against it.

You should have been there.
There was a rally in Harrisburg on Tuesday in hopes of getting more
money for state colleges. But who really knew about it in advance.
On a pitiful yellow school bus, there were around 30 BSC students
who, when asked said they only found out about the rally through the
grapevine. Whatever happened to all the organization and
preparation that took place last year. Last year, professors got
themselves involved and we had a rally in Haas with the theme WE
WON'T STOP followed by several busloads of students bound for
Harrisburg to the big rallythe next day. It looks like we stopped.
This year a meagre crew of 30 - and we were lucky to have that many
- had to sit in a freezing bus Tuesday morning for over an hour while
I the busdriver searched for a faculty member who would agree to
I accompany us. This should have been taken care of way in advance.
I Anyway, the busdriver's search for a faculty member proved futile
I but I want to express my thanks to Tim Wagner of the Union Games
¦
Room who took on the responsibility and came with us.
I Once we arrived in Harrisburg, out of curiosity a BSC student stuck
¦
her head out a window of our bus and asked a girl from East StroudI sburg State College how many buses they brought.
I "Ten ," she replied. "How many buses did you bring."
I "You're looking at it," the BSCer embarrassedly replied.
I A number of other state colleges were well-prepared. Every state
I college, except for us, had chartered buses for the students. It was
I little things like this that made me wonder why this rally was pracI tically left under the table here. After all, I feel that if students at least
I knew about it that the turnout would have been at least as good as any
. I of the other state colleges.
I The rally itself was made up of a series of speakers that said exactly
I what we wanted to hear. There was an occasional chant of "Twelve ¦
point - six" (referring to the budget amount of 12.6 million dollars that
V the state cotte&es need to operate effectively ) and , along with that ,
¦
"Zero Tuition Growth ".
m i was very impressed witn me sincerity of me 2,000 students
I gathered on the capital steps. They really wanted to be heard - they
¦
wanted the state legislators to know that education is of primary .
I importance and that they cared enough to come from all over the state
¦
to have their voices heard.
I As far as I could see, there weren't any legislators around to hear
I what was going on except the few who spoke, unless they were peeking
lout their windows. Governor Shapp did not put in an appearance as
¦
the students had hoped he would. But there was T.V. and newspaper
coverage of the event so those in power in Harrisburg can't ignore
what happened Tuesday afternoon .
Right now a lot of state colleges are really hurting - BSC has one
advantage over some other colleges in that our enrollment is very high
which helps pay those bill.
However , we have to keep in mind that prices are always going up
and we need the full 12.6 million dollars to run our colleges effectively.
As I said before we can't stop now. And we can 't allow issues like
these to be kept under the table.

You coil that a Calendar?

j

There ' s a bit of a rumble
rolling across the campus
lately.
It concerns a controversy centered around the
new college calendar.
On both sides of the story,
there are a grea t dea l of contradictions in their arguments.
It seems to be a question of
whether or not they ' re going to
continue to yell and scream
about it without actually doing
something about it , or if they 're
going to stick their necks out to
r hanna ¦?

This mainly applys to those
who are against the calendar.
They don 't find it very difficult
to rant and rave arid threaten ,
but they don 't seem to have the
guts to stand out and activel y
do something about it.
Like most things of this
nature, the situation calls for
organized action. People have
got
to get together
on
someth ing like this.

adjustment , not the calendar.

you are), then get off of your

As you were escorted to your

you play dead, they can stil l put
that needle to you. h well, it
would all be over with soon.
A tourniquet was applied,
another alcoholic cotton swab ,
ans some yellow annointment
to show eve ry one where y ou got
stuck, and then you watched as
the bag with your name on it
was hooke d up to the bed. "I' m
su pposed to fill THAT. "
Too late , the nurse had had a
busy day, and she ,didn 't wan t
to listen to any of your excuses.
Please get our from undfer the

There 's the needle, ca r efull y
inserted under the skin so that
you feel no pain except for
what' s in your head already.
Here 's the fun part: lying on
your
back,
feeling
selfconscious , and squeezin g the
life out of the stick of wood.
And you could watch the tube
between y ou and the pint ba g
spurt with ric h blood as It
flowed awa y fr om y our heart to
be kept for someone else.
And ,-lsn 't there something
Immortalizin g about that. Who
know s where t hat blood Is going
to go. You 'll never find-out
whose life y ou saved or hel ped
to sustain. The blood cells you
made will
flow through
someone else, minglin g with
what' s left of his own.
If you haven 't gone In to give
blood yet, get In there. You 'll
get a nift y card where they 'll
start listing each time you give
blood . Yo u'll get a nifty blood drop pin. You 'll get to know
what bloo d type you are. You 'll
get a lot mor e out of life by
•giving It to so meone else.

Admission to this Blood Blast
was free to anyone 18-66 years
old. (Some of you seniors with
tenure may be older than that ,
< but they stretch the rules if you
show them your BSC I.D.) If
you ' re U-you could give if you
had your parent' s permission , a
new rule of the Blood Campaign.
Before you hit the table , a

Among the Akan tribe , the
cult of the ancestors of the most
important aspect of religion.
Recentl y, witch craft and
associated witchfinding cults
have played an increasingly
important part in the life of the
people. Beliefs in the ancestral
spirits is at the basis of all laws
and customs regulating the
lives of individuals within the
family and clan , and ancestors
worship is very closely bound
up
with
the
political
organization .
Nevertheless , there is a belief
in a Supreme Being, Nyame.
"Nyame is eternal, infinite and
the creator of the Universe; he
is remote from men and unconcerned with their daily life.
Though his cult exists it has no
great effect on the religious or
moral life of the people.

We would like to have as many seniors' opinions as possible on this
issue concerning commencement. As it is now, only one individual
from each school receives personal recognition from the graduation
ceremony. Lately th ere has been some controversy over this policy.
I feel that after four years of work, each student is entitled to those
few minutes of personal satisfaction that you get when you receive
your diploma. The one thing to remember is that in order to have
some fort of individual recognition the commencement ceremony will
last 45 to 75 minutes, making it about 2Vfe hours long.
I would really appreciate to have some feedback on this, so fill out
the questionnaire and return it to Kehr Union Information Desk bv

State colleges rally

Shape up or
Shapp out
by Diane Gaskins

Did you go to the rally or
know that there was one. Well,
concerning the financial crisis
facing the state colleges there
was a "rally for the people's
colleges" on Tuesday March 4,
1975.
Many students thought that it
was poorly publicized and that
this was the reason for the lack
of support from this campus.
Yet 35 students were on a bus in

here is the beginning in trends
taking place.
At the top of the list from .
Bloomsburg State was Mr.
Charlie Bender , President of .
the Community Government
Association, who dynamically
expressed his point of views.
The Master of Ceremonies
was Michael March , President
of the Student Government
Association of Shippensburg]
State College. He was a strong
supporter of the $12.6 million
dollar increase.
Though the rally ' may have
been deemed as unsuccessful
by some people, it was successful in showing that students
from different schools can
combine and fight for a common cause.

thanks goes out to for accompanying the students ) , the
students sat on the bus with
frozen toes, fingers turning

with enthusiam to represent
and cheer for D.S.C.
The main slogan was "Shape
up or Shapp out" which was
chanted as well as others by the
many representatives from
different schools.
- The crowd turn out was
around 2,000 students. Upon
speaking to a student from
Shippensburg. State College, it
was found they they supported
the rally with a turn out of 12
bus loads of students. This
particular student felt that the
crowd could have been more
enthusiastic and that there
wasn't too much accomplished.

The main points that were
trying to be accomplished in
the rally was the necessity for
funds, zero tuition growth and
most important was the need
for a $12.6 million increase.
Many students were doubtful
if progress or improvement of
the financial situation would
come about. Many also felt
that it was too brief.
One of the many speakers
was Senator Patr ic k Stapleton
of Indiana and Clarion counties. He gave his support and
stressed that he was a supporter of state coll eges because
he went to one.

by Jack Anders on

WASHINGTON - Despitethe

shah of Iran's recent pledge not
to go along w ith another Arab
oil embar go, the State Depart-

ment is quietly preparing for
such an emergency.
Even as Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger was exchanging toasts with Arab leaders on
his recent nine-nation tour, his
aides were meeting behind
closed doors with oil company
representatives. They were

The scheme calls for the
Western nations to share energy
resourcesin case of another embargo, but in reality this means
the United States would provide
uiucm, ui uk luei.

Yet Kissinger may have more
trouble negotiating with our own
allies than he has with the
Arabs. Several key points of his
worldwide energy blueprint
have raised hackles in France
and England.
The peripatetic Kissinger
may also have trouble with the
UJS. Justice Department His oilsharin g proposal would require
the major oil companiesto swap
vital information . This , the
Justice Department 's antitrust
lawyers fear, would lessen competition between the oil giants
and give them even more dominance over the American

So if there is another oil embargo, the consumer may be
picking up three tabs - one for
himself, one for the European
nations and one for even higher
oil company profits.
Execut ive Ego: President
Ford is beginning to feel his oats.
In his private conversations with
aides, he now talks confidently of
winning the economicshowdown
with the Democrats.
He believes one-third of the
populace supports his economic
program and another third opposes it. The battle, he has told
aides, is for the undecided third.
He has been encouraged by
the responsehe has' received on
the road. He believes his economic arguments are beginning
to catch on. He has an advantage
over the Democrats, he has suggested, in being able to concentrate on a single program. There
are too many disparate Democrats in Congress, he. believes,
ever to unite behind an economic

Although ragtime not too long
ago was virtually a lost art ,
today it is experiencing a
considerable
revival
of
proportions. The work of Max
Morath is quite likely the
biggest reason behind that
revival .
Since Morath first sprang to
public

notice in

i960, his

sparkling offerings of turn-ofthe-century "urban folk music"
have been heard throughout the '
country, via television, radio,
theatre, records, concerts and
nightclubs.
Colorado-born , Max Morath
was a radio and tv actor,
writer, announcer and general
entertainer before he devoted
his career to ragtime. It was
while playing the period music
for bid-fashioned melodramas
in the West that he became
fascinated by it, and soon
began playing it in cabarets, as
well as researching every facet
that he could get his hands on.
A producer for National
Educationa Television caught
Morath, proposed that he turn
his knowledge of the time into a
series, and "The Ragtime Era "
was hnrn .

The show dealt with the
development
of the music of the
1 period , and critics
across the
|
country gave wholehearted
| approval when the series was
1 aired, resulting in hosts of
1
bookings for Morath at clubs,
I
concerts and industrial conI
ventions.
The success ot 1%0's ''The
I
1
Ragtime Era " also led to
another NET series,"Turn of
I
the Century", in which Morath
§
turned toward the social
1
history of the time, as reflected
1
through its music. Again, the
| critics were impressed with his
I
seemingly offhand , colloquial
|approach to history, with one
|
critic noting that his "smooth
I
documentary
of humor ,
I
morals, art and recreation
|
should be required reading for
jj
the too-academically inclined."

NOTE..
When you see a college president , what do you think about? Do you
invision him as a bundle of bureaucratic statements and a fount of
statistics and definitions? Or do you see him as an individual who is
caught up in the activities and responsibilities of an important, toplevel position.
Well, whether or not you see him as one or as the other , you probably
never view him anything other than a college president. This is unfortunate in that someone like our own college president is not only Dr.
McCormick, th e President .,.. but he is also Jim McCormick, the Man.
When I set out to do an interview with Dr. McCormick, I considered
the type of questions that I should put to him. It occurred to me that
Presidential interviews usually contain the same kind of dry, policy
oriented material. I felt that in the case of our president, those
questions and that sort of material would not be at all appropriate.

Dr. James McCormick

Inside the President

by Mark Mullen

Dr. James McCormi ck is, in his own words, "art energetic guy " .
Most members of the campus community are familiar with th e fact
that he is an early riser , a consistent guest for breakfa st at the
Commons, and an over-all effervescent personality on and off campus.
He has his official responsibilities , and he has many opini ons on
them , to be sure. But the opinions he expresses on matters othe r than
school business are, perhaps , the most interesting.
One particular viewpoint th at Dr. AAc Cormick commands, is that of
a parent . I asked htm to relate to me as a parent , his view on the value
of a college education. His reply dealt firmly with the concept of
education as the ultimate in preparation for later life . He stressed the
importance of, what he termed, " copin g behavfor " and the ability to
properly and realistically assess the " opportunities and problems of
the real world" .
He also pointed out the importance of the developement of one 's
" cultu ral sensitivit y " . This point was taken a few steps further Into its
implications towa rd social interaction . To sum it all up, he made the
comment , "Al ter all, w e' re know n fo r wha t we do , not what we
remember. "
With in the context of several other questions, Dr. McCormick hit
upon quite a few interesting and realistic points . He stated that the
colle g e ex perience , if it is to be trul y educational , must be more than
purely academic. By this he meant that the college campus offe rs a
great deal in the way of social value, and that the experiences one has
as a student on cam pus are an education in themselves. He put the
whole matter into pers pective by sa y ing, "Without a doubt , the colle g e
ex perience should be a time of LIVING as well as LEARNING. "
After s pendin g much time on the positive as pects of colle ge and
education , the President shifted toward the area of problems.
In
terms of the colle ge situation today, he said that he felt that the most
crucial problem facin g both students and colleges toda y is that of our
troubled econm y. " Double digit inflation and spiraling costs are
exerting tremendous pressures on colleges which are trying to

preserve 'hlgh standards fo r quality pro grams on restricted budgets ,

and students and pa rents who are attem pting to meet person al and
educational expense s." He went on to point out tha t the toughest
proble m facing Institutions of learning Is the challenge of preparing
students for an ever-changing , ever-narrowing |ob market .,
; As the Interview proce eded (over coffee In the Kehr College Union ) I
was treated to a bit of "Jim McCormick philosoph y " . The President
put it this wa y ; he said that he was "basi cally optomlstlc " and that he
must , and does " believe in people " . In order to pin-down his own
personal and profes s iona l anqulsh , he said , "I am laced with the
frustration of doing more . . . "
In my own estimat ion , we, here at BSC, have a good man In Dr.
McCormic k, . He U an outgoing honest man, and he doesn 't deny
himself (or anyone else) the right to speak out or to listen In. The
Image of the colleg e president Is usually , one of sophistication and
aristocra cy but with Jim McCormick It' s one of personal Identification
' -with " a Job that demands , amo ng other things, a personal touc h.
After all , w hen you believe In " continuing and life-long education "/
as he does , you jus t can't help but to fit In well with a college crowd. "

Dance Theatre of Harlem

by Valery O'Connell
Take the incessantly beating
rhythms of Santana , add some
incerible leaping movements of
the human form , plus some
shimmeringly . opaque stage
lights and you've got an everlasting effect that smashed
down onto the campus of
Bloomsburg State last week. .
You 've got the fabulously different and tremendously profes- .
sional Dance Theatre of
Harlem.
The impact that this dance
troupe made on the college last
week was amazing. Their three
day residency at BSC was made
possible by the combined efforts
of the Arts Council, the Third
World Cultural Society and the
National Endowment for the
Arts. Headed by directors
Arthur Mitchell and Karel
Shook, the company presented a
series of lecture-demonstrations and a master dance class
earlier in the week in Centennial, making their hard
physical preparations for a performance. These demonstrations also set the stage for
Wednesday evening, psyching
all who watched for an exciting
program.
Dance Theatre began a short
six years ago in the basement of
a Harlem church. Mitchell , an

internationally famous dancer
and the only Black member of
the New York City Ballet,
formed this ballet company in
order to introduce his beloved
classical art form to the Harlem
community. His efforts were
met with great enthusiasm as
the progra m grew from its
beginning 30 members to well
over 400 participants that first
summer
"I am tremendously proud of
these kids," Mitchell says.
Although most of them began in
dance*at a late age, they have
now reached the peak of professionality through dilfgent effort
and strict self-discipline . "We
practice from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
daily, six days a week," he
stated . It certainly pays off , as
any spectator who whatched the
dancer 's graceful motions can
tell you.
Mitchell stresses to his
company "where there's a will
there's a way". He thinks
nothing of joining in their
practice, making each dance
''look a little more exciting". He
urges them to be constantly
aware of themselves, although
not in a conceited manner, so
that when they walk somewhere
their posture is perfection and
their motions fluid as the music
they dance to.

"The male dancer is usually overlooked during a performance," said
Arthur Mitchell. "Yet his part is so important. He forms the basis of
support for each female ballerina. " He is sometimes featured in a solo
part , and , as this dancer on the left displayed to the audience, he
executes some amazing movements, ( photos by Burkett and Coyle)

! human form s
yeiflasting effect at BSC
Mitchell drills his dancers in
classical ballet. "It is an international technique," he explains, "from which you can go
anywhere - to jazz , to ethnic , to
stripper. " The company performs in the basic classic, neoclassic and ethnic- styles, but
puts an individualistic flair to
their repertoire with an amalgamation of the three styles,
coming up with something that
is uniquely Dance Theatre of
Harlem.
"C.aravansa raV'

th p olimav

of their performance in Haas
Center on Wednesday evening,
was an example of this uniqueness. To begin, subdued lights
revealed a moving form on
stage, undulating and rising in a
fluid motion that kept the tempo
of the opening bars of John
McLaughlin's eerie
"Life
Slowly,
human
Devine".
dancers emerged from under
the form, dressed in streaming
rags, contorting their bodies in
unimaginable ways. The music
switched to sexy beats of
Magic
"Black
San tana 's
Woman" and the dancers
abruptly changed from the
slowness of their opening to
incredible leaps and bounds
i from one corner of the stage to
i the other. Needless to say, the
audience loved it, giving the
performers a standing ovation ,
despite the fact that it was in the
middle of the program.
The rest of the show was just
exciting.
"Concerto
as
set
to
the
music of
/ Barocco",
I J.S. Bach, featured several
' ballerinas in simple white
; against a pale blue backdrop.
I One male ballerina was inj eluded in the number, confi! dently leading the girls through
their steps. The audience

watched with open mouths,
wondering how anyone could be
so graceful.
"Le Corsaire", the second
number of the program , was
another graceful example of
classical ballet. The violet tutu
of the Ballerina drew the eyes of
the audience to her, but her
partner 's amazing leaps and
bounds were what stole the
show. Applause was abundant.
"Caravansarai" kept the audience on the edge of their seats,
while the finale, "Dougla ", was
a rare presentation of an acient
African bridal ceremony. Accompanied by wind chimes,
flute and the ever present beat
of the bongo, dancers adorned
with bells jingled their ways
around the stage. Village warriors appeared in the barest
essen tials, gyrating incessantly
while the audience gaped at the
extraordinary motions of their
every muscle.
The
dancers
answered
several . curtain calls, bringing
Arthur Mitchell on stage for
one. There he stood, the mastermind of all the beauty of Dance
Theatre, beaming from ear to
ear , and openly displaying his
pride in his creation. As the
capacity audience slowly left
Haas, one could hear various
comments of amazement at the
uniquness of the show. And one
couldn 't help but notice the
graceful carriage of several
people who had been touched by
the beauty of this troupe. Seeing
the Dance Theatre of Harlem,
this group of young, accomplished dancers who are happily
doing something extremely well
with their talent, was an
experience BSC will long
remember.

Strenuous workouts and strict self-discipline are what make the Dance Theatre of Harlem so
professional. Tickets for a performance similar to the one-presented at BSC last week go for $10 a
seat in New York City , (photo by Burkett)

"Caravansarai" stole the show Wednesday evening. The dancers dressed in rags, yet th&r
performance was so effective that one soon forgot their costumes and concentrated on their
unique style, ( photo by Dickenson )

By Kathy Jos eph

"Our dance company was formed almost six years ago to give black dancers a place to go,"
explained Virginia Johnson of the Dance Theatre of Harlem . She smiled , "People said blacks
couldn 't do classical ballet. "
Virginia and I met the evening before the company 's performance at BSC . She was in the
Green Room at Haas mending the lining to her coat , and when I learned she was a d ancer , I asked
for an interview .
.
I had no idea at 'the time that Virginia was a principl e dancer for "Concerto Barocco" and
"Caravansarai ," to be performed the next night. She didn 't volunteer too much information about
hersel f but instead she talked about the company.
"We just came back from out third European tour ," and she ra diated when she spoke. "I
wanted to tell you . We broke all the box office records , so we re turned for another week.... Then
they asked us to come back for a command performance. "
The company left Bloomsburg Friday for Indiana University of Pennsylvania. From there they
will travel to Texas. They ' ve been all over the country and they 're from all over the world.
"No , we'renotall f rom Harlem ," clarif ied Virginia. "We 're fro m ever ywhere - London , Mexico ,

Cagers Host
E.GA.Cs.

by Bill Siple r
For the second time in three
years the Husky Cagers are in
the E.C.A.C. tournament , it was
learned Sunday.
Two years ago the Huskies
¦placed
second in the same
tournament when they were
knocked off in the final round by
East Stroudsburg in a squeaker
68-66. The cagers suffered from
what was considered a '"big
game jinx " with the Warriors
as they lost their second game
in two weeks to the Warriors.
This year, instead of traveling
to Muhlenburg in Allentown, the
Huskies are hosting the
tournament which will start at
6:00 p.m. at Nelson on Friday
night ( tonight). The Huskies
will face the King's College as
well as Cheyney State and a
team to be named.
The pairings for Friday are
Kings vs. Cheyney in the
opening contest followed by the
Huskies, who are seeded first,

and the unnamed team. The
action "Will continue with the
winning teams facing each
other in the finals Saturday.
There is no consulation match.
This will be the Huskies third
post season competition and it is
hoped it will end with them in
the finals.
Gary Tyler and Mike Ognosky
will: be making their last starts
as Huskies this weekend. For
Tyler it will be his second start
in the ECACs as he started for
the team that finished second
two years ago. Both players
were on the team that , last
year, advanced to the NCAA
College Division Finals.
This is the second opportunity
for BSC fans to see their locals
in post season competition, the
Pa. Swimming and Diving
Championships were also at
Nelson this year. It will give the
fans a chance to see the Huskies
in action for the last time this
year.

The Women 's Basketball
Team suffered its first loss last
Tuesday , \n a tough battle at
Bucknell, by a score of 51-49.
The Huskies were hurt the most
by BucknelJ 's two high scorer's
Pam Heller and Ruth Simpson,
who had 16 points each. BSC's
high scorer was Barb Donchez
with 19 points. Others scoring
for the Huskies were, Ellen
French with 8 points, Judy
Kovacs, Ann DIgnazio, and
Karen Tamalenus, each had 6
points, and Sally Miller made 4
points.

BSC was down by 11points at
half time, and closed to within 2
points of a tie. This was a very
tough game, and ruined the
chances of the team keeping
their perfect record.
The JV's pl ayed their last
game of the season Tuesday,
defeating Bucknell's JV Squad,
77-19, giving them a perfect 4-0
record. The JV's won all their

Basketball Seniors

Ognos ky and Ty ler
By Dale Myers
Contrary to popular belief there
is more than one SAGA on the
campus of Bloomsburg State
College.
Granted , the one
which feeds the students, but
now the second. The saga of
Mike Ognosky and Gary Tyler
which has imprinted itself on
the minds of BSC basketDall
fans over the last three
seasons.
The two senior co-captains of
the 1974-75 Husky squad led the
team to a 14-9 overall record
and can hopefully get the
cagers psyched for the ECAC
tournament this week-end.
Ognosky
decided
that
basketball was going to be his
sport in eighth grade. Under
his high school coach Antony
Salerno he was depended on to
do much of the scoring for his
team. However , when he came
to BSC the story was a bit
different. "Here ( BSC ) , I was
counted on to be a ball handler
and floor leader rather than a
scorer," Ognosky stated. The
5'11" flash from Moscow, Pa.
hit on of the worst times to try
breaking into the BSC starting
five as a ball handler and floor
leader. During his sophomore
coacnn

bench and watched the antics
of former Husky great Art
Luptowsk /e At the start of his
jun ior seao 'n as a H us ky ,
Ognosky again rode the pine in
the role of a reserve guard.
H owever , it was during this
same season that Ognosky
came into his own as a ball
player,
In a game which Ognosky
considers one of the highlights
of his college career he sparked
Bloomsburg to the most important victory of the 73-74
season , a 73-63 victory over
Cheyney for the Conference
championship. From this point
he became the floor leader of
the BSC cagers,
In hi s sen i or season Og nos ky
proved just how valuable he
was to Bloomsburg basketball .
When the Huskies lost Rich

Evans for the year, Ognosky
was cast into the role of a
scorer as well as the floor
leader, and he could not have
responded any better .
According to coach Charlie
Chronister, "We moved to a
guard oriented offense and
Mike gained confidence in his
shot and became oneof our top
scorers. "

As would be expected
Ognosky plans to make
basketball a major part of his,
future.
With a major in
secondary education (social
studies) he plans to coach and
teach , after leaving Bloomsburg. He also indicated that
he would like to teach at a
school where his wife could also
acquire a teaching position.
Ognosky found no difficulty in
assuming the responsibility of a
ball player and a husband.
"My wife was one of my
biggest fans so the schedule
didn 't interfere. "
Ognosky averaged 12.5 points
a game this year and contributed over 100 assists. For a
guard who is counted on to
direct an offense that's enod
anywhere.
"He 's the type of player that
only the fans with a true appreciation
of basketball
notice." Chronister used these
words to describe a three year
starter for Bloomsburg in the
person of Gary Tyler. This 6'5"
defensive and rebounding
specialist from Audubon , Pa.
never avera ged more t h an
seven points a game in his BSC
career b ut was al wa ys t h ere to
grab a clutch rebound or go
head to head with the opp onent ' s biggest offensive
threat.
l yier oegun nis uusKeiuau

days at Methacton High School,
coming to BSC the , same y ear
as Ognosky. After a year of
J.V. ball he moved into the
Husky starting lineup as a
f orwar d , and rema i ned at t h at
pos i t ion t h rough t h e follow i ng
two seasons. It is more than .
unusua l to find a player who

doesn't score that much in a
starting role.
Statistics are too often the
only aspect looked upon as as a
true indication of a player's
value to a team and Tyler is
living proof of that fact.
"Gary 's worth can 't be
measured in statistics," noted
Chronister. Indeed he is right.
Tyler has been probably the
most overlooked and underrated player on the team.
This is because his name did
not appear at the top of scoring
list in a newspaper. However, a
player of Tyler 's value can no
longer be missed. This season,
while he averaged just 6.1
points per contest, he was
second on the team in assists,
grabbed over 200 rebounds, and
was often called on to bring the
ball upcourt in pressure
situations , not to mention his
superb defensive ability . Tyler
was summoned to guard the
likes of Millersville 's Phil
Walker , top scorer in the
conference, and Cheyney ace
Leon Bell.
Each time he
responded by hloding each to a
point total well below his
seasonal average.
Undoubtedly, BSC is going to sorely
miss Tyler 's floppy blonde hair
and long strides as he will no
longer be there to do the things

SO manv fans nvprlnnk

"They ' ve both been instrumental in the success we've
had around here the past few
years. " Chronister said of his
tw o senior co-captains.
Ognosky and Tyler both have
the distinction of being
members of the only team in
BSC history to reach the NCAA
tournament at Evansv ille Ind.
Hopefully these two outstanding players can lead the
Huskies to more success as,
they head the BSC cagers into
t h e ECA C tournament t hi s
week-end with hopes that it will
not be t he last t i me t h ey dawn
the uniform as a Bloomsburg
State basketball player.

Both BSC basketball teams are entering post-season play this
weekend.
The women are on the road as they travel to Edinboro State College
to take part in their first post-season experience as they take part in
The Eastern Intercollegiate Association of Women's Tournament
This is the firsttournamentthat the women have taken part in in their
short history.
The men are hosting the E.C.A.C . at Nelson as they take part in the
second E.C.A.C. tournament in three years. Gary Tyler and Mike
Ognosky are the only two members remaining from the team that
placed second to East Stroudsburg two years ago.
The men are entering their third straight year of post-season play
with this tournament as they host Cheyney, Kings and a team to be
•/nfiryea r is turning into a very good year as far as the fans being
able to see post season play is concerned. The men's swim helped host
the Pa. Conference Swimming and Diving Championships last month
and, in April, the United States allstars take on the Russian, National
Team at Nelson.
For BSC fans, this tournament will give them a chance to see the two
seniors, Tyler and Ognosky, for the last time as Huskies. There is also
a possibility of seeing another thrilling match between Cheyney and
BSC as there is a possibility that both teams could make the finals.
The women, entering their first tournament, have a decidedly different goal in hand. Last year, they posted their first undefeated
season. This year they have a shot to push the stature of BSC's
women's basketball program upwards as they can add more.prestege to the program.
Both teams will be trying to give their fans an exciting time as again
BSC teams have been placed intournamentsthat will provide a high
degree of competition .
The men are the top seeded team in their tournament and the most
serious challenge has to be Cheyney. The Wolves will be out to avenge
an earlier loss at Nelson. On the other hand , the Huskies will also be
anxious to avenge their ten point trouncing that Cheyney administered
at their own fieldhouse.
Kings is an M.A.C. school that the Huskies faced in the N.C.A.A.
College Division Eastern Regional Tournament last year. The
Huskies handled them easily that time and if the two teams meet, it is
hoped that they can handle them again.
The Huskies are healthy arid this should be another boon as they
ha ve Rich Evans ba ck and up to playing shape as he took part in the
Huskies last three regular season triumphs. They also have the home
court advantage which gives them a decided advantage in terms of fan
support.
All in all, it should prove to be an interesting weekend.

The use of phoney credit cards, electronic devices or any other means to avoid
paying for phone calls is against the law. It's stealing—pure and simple. .
In
this state, conviction for making fraudulent phone calls may result in:
