New College Store 's Sales Increase

By SUE WILLIAMS
The new college store , located
in the former student union , is
one of the best college stores in
the state , according to the
store 's manager , Mr. William
Bailey. As a college store it is
outstanding in its size and
selection of merchandise .
Mr. Bailey, wh o has man aged
the stor e for the last 15 month s,
consider s it super ior to Duke
University 's fi ve stores , where
he was formerly employed, in
providinga wide selection of
produc ts under one roo f . Mr.
Bailey is also a former manager
of the Burlington County
College store in New Jersey.
Sales have "na turally increased " due to the store 's
increased size and more convenient location , accord ing to
Mr. Ba iley . H e considers t he

Mr. Bailey believes the store
to be ideal in space and st ora ge

Anot her advan tage of the
store , although not new , is its

sells textbooks at a 5 per cent
discount from the list price ,
wh ich is very unusual for

college stores.
Im p rovements have been
made in the textbook area . A

Henry Larsen. alias Bear, is
the husky blond night manager
of Kehr College Union . "They
like me to be at every part of the
building at the same time," he
laughed, explaining his job.
Bear supervises the bowling
alleys, games room and every
part of the union during the
evenings. He helps set up the
bands on the nights of dances
and
is responsible for
microphones and projectors for
programs and movies. All night
events in Kehr are his
responsibility.
.
"I try to be courteous and
friendly but in this job you do
make some enemies because
you have to enforce the rules,"
he told me, with a semi-frown .
"Like when you can 't let
someone in without an ID or you
turn on the lights at the end of a
dance." His frown curved to a
smj le
With a degree from BSC in
secondary social studies, Bear
had trouble getting a teaching
job. For two years he was a

.
>n 1963, he was graduated in
1971. In 1967, his senior year, he
received his draft notice. After
his- appeal was rejected , Bear
served , in the Army for three
years, including 10 months in
Vietnam. Back at Bloomsburg
in 1970, he completed student
teaching and in 71 was
gr£dua|ed.
By that time there wasn't
much demand for social studies
teachers and Bear couldn t find
a permanent teaching job.
"Things could have been better > " he philosophizes, "but
they could have been worse, too.
And I'm lucky."
He bought a farm near
Danville, where he's raising his
family. "Then there's Heidi, my
little girl,' he said almost
shyly. "She's twenty months old
and the main reason I m
lucky." Bear sparkled with the
look of a very proud father.
Working the farm during the
day and at BSC at night, Bear s
always busy. Fortunately,
though, hes never too preoccupied with business that he
can 't appreciate happiness,
whether it's Heidi, the farm or
life in general.

means of sliding partitions. The

Snackin q : Studen t Sty le

Banking : Student Sty le

stn H on ts an d faru ltv are mnnv

By LINDA LIVERMORE

Off-campus students could use
the bank to pay electric bills.
The bank could also provide the
tax forms necessary for normal
business and make information
available on trust accounts and
wills.
Major branch banks on
college campuses are even
rarer than studen t banks. Mr.
Trathen knew of only two, at the
University of Maryland and
Frostburg State College. Their
banks were used as models for
the bank proposed at BSC, the
bank which may soon become a
reality .

It's 11:30 and you have a class
at 12 o'clock. You don't like
what the Commons is serving
for lunch but you don 't have
time to eat lunch downtown
either. What do you do? You can
get a low-priced, nutritious
lunch at the Snack Bar, conveniently located on the first
floor of the Kehr College Uni^n.
Over 1600 people are served
every day at the Snack Bar.
Most are commuters who enjoy
the on-campus location and
casual atmosphere were friends
can congregate. -

the Kehr Union recues many
students with $50.00 emergency
loans, just one of its many
services.
Dr. Marguerite W. Kehr, for
whom the Union was named, set
up the Emergency Loan Fund
with donations several years
ago. The loan, for up to $50.00, is

Interview

made for 30 days at no interest.
After that interest at the rate of
10 percent is charged on the
unpaid balance. The Fund has
grown to $4300 and all but $500 is
out on loan. Often the Financial
Aid Office refers students who
need the loan.
Dr. Kehr was Dean of Women
for 25 years before she retired in
1953. The Union was named for
Dr. Kehr in recognition of her
keen interest in students and
their activities, as evidenced by
her action in establishing the
loan fund.

Who's in Charge Here?
By KATHERINE DALTON

What is one of the nicest
things about the Kehr Union? It
isn't the pool tables or the offices or the snack bar. It's the
smiling lady in the flowered
apron. Her name is Martha .
Martha is one of the women
working for ARA in the Kehr
Union building. She is the
sweetheart of the fraternities
and a sister to the sororities.
Martha has worked for ARA
in the BSC Union buildings for
five years. She worked in Old
Husky, the present Book Store,
and Kehr Union. She describes
the three as follows: "Old
Husky was cozy because it was
so small. The Book Store was
big and sort of cheery. Kehr
Union should be pronounced
'care' Union because we do
care. I know the kids care about
me and they know I care about
them . This building is
programmed to fit the times
and its homey atmosphere does
a pretty good job."
Asked if she had noticed any
great change in college students
in h er t ime at Bloomsburg,
Martha said if anything, they
are more honest and outgoing.
She believes the way of dress
and long hair is just a trend.
"Kids have to be believed in.
You have to reach out for
someth i ng in them that' s
seek i ng ex p ression. A s for

Students who live in the
dormitories often use the Snack
Bar in the evenings for refreshments and "...When there is
liver at the Commons," according to manager John
Ruggiero.
Although operated by the
ARA Slater Food Services, the
bar is a separate unit from the
Scranton Commons, which is
also run by ARA. The Snack Bar
is not sponsored by the college,
but a percentage of all profits is
returned to Bloomsburg State
College:

streaking, no educated person
would consider it." The morals
question of college students is
no big fear to Martha . She sees
more students attending church
every Sunday. Church is "what
ticks for them". Martha would
like to see her minister turn one
Sunday a month over to the
college kids to pick their own
readings from the word of God.
One change Martha has
noticed is the overall atmosphere of the Bloomsburg
campus in the past few years.
She attributes some of this to
President McCormick because
he is young and interested in the
kids themselves. People actually care for each other rather
than for the tense situations
which occurred during Dr.
Nossen's time.
Two of Martha 's pets in the
Union are the sororities and
fraternities and the deaf
children from the Navy Hall
clinic. She mentioned how she
was gi ven a ca ke an d car ds on
her birthday. The cutest was
from Delta Omega Chi which
read, "Roses are red, violets
are blue, Mart ha , we want you
to know we appreciate you."
Martha has attended sign
lan guage classes i n or der t o
commun i cate more clearly w i th
the children from the clinic.
"My fi rst i m portant word was
'sit*. I felt it was important to
recognize these children." She
related one inc i den t w h en
Craig, a little boy of about nine ,
met President McCorm ick and
blew him a kiss. Martha

remembered him being so
excited because he was told the
"big man " was coming that
uuy ,

«J A B ¦

Martha is certainly one of the
more cheery faces around
cam pus. She feels her plain
honest y surprises people. She

loves it here and loves the
students that make it what it is.

"I think we have achieved a
better level of understandin g
and togetherness. E ven the
att itude of the town with the
school is better. " The important
thing to Martha is that people
care. So, if anyone is ever
feeling lonely, take a tri p to the
Union and visit Martha . Her
smile would brighten anyone 's
day.

Best selling items are french
fries and hamburgers, with
"ethnic" foods also popular
dishes. Foods such as pierogies,
sauerkraut and hot dogs, and
toasted bagels with cream
cheese offer students unusual
foods not normally served in
small bars. Boasting of "The
lowest price in town," the
manager also confirmed, "We
have a broad menu for a small
place-, with a large variety of
foods offered ."
Mr. Ruggiero, who graduated
from Connecticut State College
with a degree in food
management, is well pleased
with the success of the Snack
Bar facility.
Forming two cash register
lines for faster service was one
of several suggestions Mr.
Ruggeiro put to use after
handing out questionnaires
concerning the Snack Bar
services to students who use the
facilities.
A second register has been
added to the Snack Bar, increasing fast service and improving its efficiency during the

The games room is "the most
popular corner" in the new
Kehr Union. This observation
by manager Norman L.,
"Stormin' Norman," Jones is
borne out by the heavy student
use there. It is often difficult to
get a table to play pool, or to use
the pin-ball machine you want.
The Kehr Union 's games
room , like that of the old union,
is intended primarily to provide
a recreational service for the
students. In the old union there
were only five pool tables and a
few pin-games. There are ten
pool tables and over twenty pingames in the new union , as well
as several T.V. games.
Planning for the games room
was researched through other
un ion operators , members of
ACU-I , the Association of
College Unions - International.
John Mulka , Director of Student
Activities and the College
Union , was involved in much of
this planning and also in the
selection of equipment for the
recreation area.
The games room in Bloomsburg State College's Kehr
Union is probably "th e lar gest
college, owned or operated
recreat ion area " of any of
Pennsylvania 's State ^
colleges.
Th e cost assoc i ate d w i t h
playing pool is also cheap in
comparison with other unions.
It costs only 90c an hour for a
table, no matter h ow man y
people shoot on the table.
Usually it runs 90c an hour per
person.

area goes back into the Keh r
Union 's budget for next year.
Curren t ly the pool section and
bowling alleys are roughl y
holding their own. The pinmach i nes are "probabl y the
best item... because they don 't
cost an ything, " states Norman.
The machines are placed and
maintained i n the games room
by an outside com pany which
bid for the privilege.
Recrea tional Programs also
take place in the games room .
Last semester an 8-ball tournament was held. Joe Rutecki
won , and received a nice cue for
his effort s. An air-ho ckey
tournam ent was also held

recently. The Government
Board decides on what
programs to hold, and the
Student Union Program Board
carries out their decisions.
Norman Jones is the daytime
manager of the recreation area,
and Henry "Bear"Larsen is the
night
manager.
College
students who ' qualify through
the Financial Aid Office work in
the games room and bowling
alleys.
A new T.V. games section,
which has already been started,
is planned for the future. Also in

Student bdnks are not common — only four operate in
Pennsylvania state colleges. At
BSC, students can deposit any
amount of money in no-interest
savings accounts and withdraw
their cash easily during banking
hours from 10:30 to 4:30 daily.
The bank handles about 1200
savings accounts and cashes
over 30,000 checks a year. With
this large volume, only ten
checks out of the last 200,000
have not passed.
What happens to the money in
savings accounts? It is invested
and the interest used to hire
additional bank tellers to work
in the busy afternoons for the
students' convenience. The
Student Bank is part of the
Community Activities
programs
sup'ported
by
students' annual $50 fees.
Those associated with the
bank are Mr. John Trathen, who
is Assistant Director of Student
Activities and handles nonstate
finances ; Mr. James- Carlin,
Comptroller ; and Mrs. Donald
Seebold, who is in charge of the
bank.
The bank was constantly busy
during the three Silver Dollar
Days last semester when
students exchanged their
money for close to 10,000 silver
dollars. The purpose was for
Bloomsburg town merchants to
actually see how much money
students spent in town using the
coins.
A major branch Dank may
operate on campus in the
future. It would be a full service
bank, offering checking accounts, interest savings accounts, Christmas clubs and
other features. Only a loan
office would be excluded
because the college hopes the
bank will be local, enabling
students to use the main office
for loans. State permission from
the Department of Real Estate
must be given before any action
can be taken. Mr. Trathen's
office compiled a list of all the
banks in six surrounding
counties in case the state will
not permit the college to handle
local bidding from Bloomsburg
banks.
Whichever bank bids the
highest rent paid for the use of
the Student Bank offices and
6,000 lb. vault wins the contract ,
if approved by the state. Rent
would be paid to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This bank would remain
campus oriented and no adversing outside the college
would be allowed.
The Student Bank would be
dissolved but the Emer gency
Loan fund retained through the
Community Activities office.

branc h ban k on cam pus f or

according to Mr. Trathen.
Checks over $50 could then be
cashed with presentation of
Student Identification card.
Checking accounts and interest
savings accounts would be
available. Free checking accounts would be possible for
college affiliated organizations
such as C.G.A. Students and
faculty could purchase money
orders and travelers' checks,
and exchange large amounts of
change for currency. They
could invest in U.S. Savings
bonds and Certificates of
Deposit.
Christmas
and
Vacation clubs could be opened .

Employment Opportunity
Editor 's Note: The College
Union Internship .Program was
implemented this semester with
the cooperation of the School of
Business. On the basis of information obtained from the
Association of College Unions,
the program is the first of its
kind
to
be
developed
specifically for undergraduate
students working in the college
union field.
The students, both business
administration majors and
members of the Junior class,
are paid for ten hours of work
per week and receive three
amifomic credits.

Here are their views of the
internship program:
By DENISE TOBOLLA
and MARY MCCAR THY

'Experience' is always a key
word a new college graduate
encounters when applying for
employment. Nearly every
prospective employer expects
an applicant to have experience.
How can you get such experience before you apply for
your first job?
We have found one answer to
that problem. We are both
proud and privileged to be able
to acquire experience in our
field of study through the
College Union Internship
Program.
This program enables us to
put into practice some of the
knowled g e we have g a i ned
t hrou gh nearl y t hree y ears of
college ; it also gives us an insigh t into what w ill be required
of us as responsible young
professi onals. W e are able t o
see both t he management and
labor side of the business world

Behind the Scenes
By KATHY JOS EPH

"I may be biased," Mr.
Mulka smiled, "but I'd say our
union is as flexible, practical
and esthetically pleasant as any
other college union we've ever
seen elsewhere." Jack Mulka,
Director of Student Activities,
has a good reason to be proud.
He's been working on union
plans since the initial meeting
in June, 1968. He has seen Kehr
Union grow from a blueprint to
the building it is today, complete with bowling alleys,
games room , lounges, television
rooms, pianos, bank, post office....the list is endless.
Mr. Mulka , st ud en t leaders
and ot her i n t erest ed people

visited several other union since
'68, trying to decide upon the
best facilities for our. Kehr is
what they came up with .
"This is really the only true
college
un i on
b u i ld i n g
Bloomsburg has ever had ," Mr.
Mulka commented . There was a
ti me when the only recreation
area other t han t he gy m was the
Husky Lounge. It consisted of a
snack bar , a few p inball
mach ines and pool tables and
was locat ed right where Mr.
Mulka 's off ice is now. Then
ther e was the tem porary union ,
which was located in the
pre sent bookstore. It had about

the same amount of facilities as

the Husky Lounge.

We were sur pr ised that our
supervisors understand that we

that into consideration when

from the tables to the snack bar.
'That 's why we put booths In
Kehr Union ," Mr. Mulka told
me. "And that's why we have
smaller tables , too. "

are new at our work and take

dealing with us. They have the
patience to explain somethin g
over and over again when
necessar y. They respec t our
op inions concerning operations ,
even though our views are quite
under-developed because of our
inexperience and lack of understandin g of management
theory.

We are gaining that badly
needed 'experience ' in ways too
numerous to menti on , but which
are clear ly delineated in our
minds. It' s experience tha t can
never be taken away from us ,
and we are thankfu l for this.

the tem porary

union was the lack of privacy .
Man y students felt as if they
were on display on their walks

"We ' ve really progressed a
lot ," he grinn ed. And there 's
more progress planned for the
future as well. Mr. Mulka would
like to see the establishment of
a travel agency on campus , "I
would like to see capitalizing on
the freq uent vacations for
leisure tra vel," he explained.
The travel agency would offor
discount tr avel rates to students

and

would

be

strictly

recreational travel, not study
travel.
Mr. Mulka also hopes to see a
full-time program director
hired. Presently, major
programs are set up by either
the College Union Program
Board or the Arts Council with
approval by Mr. Mulka. A fulltime director's job would be to
publicize and co-ordinate all
programs , cultural , social ,
educational and recreational
alike. Another hopeful director 's position , fi nanced through
a f ederal grant , would be coord i na t or
of
volun t eer
programs (tutorial , ecological ,
etc.).
Credit for work in maj or
st udent organ iza ti ons is another
M ulka suggesti on for the f u t ure.
"I really th ink th is would prove
t o be incentive for students t o
get i nvolved and also would

curb studen t apathy, " he
sta t ed.
these are only a few of Jack
Mulka 's dreams, f or he has so
man y . He has seen so much
accomplished and hopes for so

much more.
"Yes," he agreed, "we really

have progr essed. But there 's
still a lot to come."

rush of lunch hour.
Although suggestions for the
addition of alcoholic beverages
and topless waitress could not
be put to use, many ideas which
students offered are used. The
survey caused the bar to Increase pierogie sales to two
days a week and to include
foods like cheese steaks and
hoagies on its menu.
Many of the students surveyed complimented the Snack"
Bar for its wide selection of food
and low prices.
All foods are under a dollar in
price. Hamburgers are 30c,
sandwiches range from 40c to
55c, and drinks are 15c and 25c.
The Snack Bar is one of the few
places left in Bloomsburg where
coffee is still only a dime.
Customers can choose from
soup and sandwich to roasted
chicken. Cod fillet burgers,
different sized beef pattie
burgers , and a variety of
hoagies are also offered for
meals.
Popular new items offered
include ice cream cones, thick
milk shakes, and yogurt.
All of the food except brand
name snacks are made fresh
daily in the kitchen of the Snack
Bar by ARA's head cook.
Although sandwiches are
wrapped like those which are
available through vending
machines, they are made each
morning and are pressed in a
cellophane sealed cone.
The Snack Bar and vending
machines are services of different companies.
Breakfast is an attractive
feature of the Union's Snack
Bar. Serving from 7:30 a.m. to
10:30 a.m., the bar offers eggs
and toast, bacon , f rench toast ,
and orange juice for early
risers.
All rules which are made for
the Union are appl icable to the
Snack Bar cust omers. The most
importan t rules include the
wearing of shoes a t all t imes
and t he ref usal to admit pets
into the Union .
The Snack Bar is open from
7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday
thro ugh Friday and 6:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m. Sat urdays and
Sunda ys.
The Snack Bar is open in t he
mornings of Saturdays and
Sundays for special occasions,
such as Parents' Weekend .
The summer hours for the
Snack Bar will be 7:30 a.m. to
3 :00 p .m. throughout the week.
It will be closed on weekends .

some Trivia :
1. What student publication
occupied Dillion House and was
later transferred to Waller

?

2. For you residents of the

previous locati ons of the
Commuters ' Association?
3. Where were the C.G.A. and

4. And to those who, for one
reason or another , don 't particularly favor the GREEK
cults, where did the InterFraternity and Inter-Sorority
Councils convene?

Student organizations have
been complaining lately that
notices arrive too late for
members to know about their
meetings. When asked about
this Eleanor remarked, "One of
the reasons is that students are
not checking their boxes often
enough. We^lso have a problem
in that some' organizations do
not keep their mailing lists
accurate. If a box number is
ina ccurate we have no wa y of
knowing it and we can 't check
every notice that comes in here.
Some of the organizations don't
realize that they can 't bring a

three times each day. All of the
first class departmental mail is
processed first. When that is
done , the student mail is
arranged and distributed. "The
big problem with student mail
boxes is that they are down the
hall. That's really an inconvenience. When we were in
Waller we were surrounded by
the boxes. If some mail came in,
all we had to do was turn around
and stuff it in. Now we have to
wait until we distribute student
mail. There are more boxes for
the students though."
"It really has been a change.
We like it here more than we
thought we would. We can still
talk with the students; It took us
a while, but we're used to the
place now," concluded Eleanor
with her winning smile and a
hearty, "Goodbye Dear, see you

This year's BSC student is
better informed about campus
activities. With the availability
of the Duplicating Services in
the new Kehr Union , student
activities have been more
widely publicized.
The Duplicating Services
room is located on the first floor
of the Kehr Union . The room is
open Monday through Friday
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is accessible to all students who
want to utilize its facilities.
There is no charge for the use of
the equipment but students
must supply their own paper.
Student groups now have
access to modern equipment to
facilitate communications. In
the Duplicating Services room,
there are two ditto machines
and a mimeograph machine.
The greatest asset to the
improved advertising of
scheduled events is the poster
making machine. Various
styles of print , including script,
are available and posters can be
made in a variety of colors. A
large and a small cutting board
are available to cut the posters
tn th p rt psir pri si 70

A cordless public address
system and an overhead
projector are loaned upon
request to students and student
groups for various purposes and
activities.
An electric typewriter is
available upon request. This
typewriter is unique because it
has the capacity to produce
eleven different type styles,
including Greek and script , as
well as enlarged and regular
type sizes.
Also located on the f irst door
of the Union (next to the Informal Lobby) is a student
Typing Room . The room is
available for use during Union
hours. In it are three new
manual typewriters and one
electric typewriter. This room
has been a popular addition . It
is excellent for commuters

since they don't have a dorm
room to go to between classes to
type their work. It also
alleviates the problem of
storing a typewriter in an
already overcrowded dorm
room.
Coin-operated
copying
machines are available in the
Informal Lobby. They are
cheap and the copies produced
are clear.
A competent force of student
employees have made the
Duplicating Services room an
efficient and easily accessible
service. They demonstrate how
the equipment is to be used, and
aid any student who needs
direction. These students are
also responsible for publishing
and distributing BSC TODAY,
the daily bulletin on current
campus activities. The monthly
calendar of events is also
published in the Duplicating
Services room.
Mr. John Mulka, the Director
of Student Activities , is enthusiastic about the room 's
