Ausprich appointed president of BU
GARY L. WESSNER JR
Managing Editor
Once July 15th arrives Bloomsburg University will be under the
direction of newly appointed
President Dr. Harry Ausprich. He
is currently the Dean of Fine and
Professional Arts at Kent State.
The Board of Governors of the
State System of Higher Education
( SSHE)
met Tuesday in
Harrisburg to officially announce
their decision.
"I am pleased and honored.to
recommend an educator and administrator of Dean Ausprich's
caliber to the Board for appointment to the position of
President of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania," said Chancellor James McCormick.
Ausprich was the only one of the
three finalists which came from
outside the state system. The other
two finalists were Dr. H. Erik
Shaar, vice president for Academic
Affairs at Shippensburg, and Dr.
Larry W. Jones who is the Interim
President currently at Bloomsburg.
"The entire administration and
staff under Jones did a fine job ,"
McCormick said. "It will be a
healthy and strong environment for
Mr. Ausprich to begin. "
"I don't see any problems needed
to be addressed in the immediate
future," said Ausprich. "Bloomsburg University is well managed
and had good academic planning."
Ausprich wishes to increase
relations with community leaders
as well as work closely with the
Alvina Krause Theatre in downtown - Bloomsburg. Ausprich
recognizes the importance of
cultural events at BU and hopes
that they can grow with such actions.
He has been the author of many
articles which have appeared in
such publications as Speech
Teacher, Players Magazine and
Southern Speech Journal. These
publications deal with conv
municating, which is Ausprich's
specialty. He completed his Doctor
of Communications. and Speech

degree at Michigan State University. He holds a Master of Science
degree at Michigan State University . He holds a Master of Science
degree in Theatre and Broadcasting from the University of
Wisconsin and a Bachelor of Science-degree in Communication and
Education from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
According to Chancellor McCormick some of his other outstanding qualities include an excellent record of leadership ability
and the great skill of working with
people.
Ausprich and his wife Lorraine
are looking forward to coming to
Bloomsburg. "Our two daughters
are a little reluctant going to a new
school and finding new friends , but
I'm sure everything will work out ,"
said Mrs. Ausprich.
At Kent State he was responsible
for establishing ten schools of
discipline which include : Architecture and Environmental

Studies, Fashion Design and Mer(Continued on Page 4)

Wolves prey on Harrisburg
LORI LEONARD
Executive Editor
GARY WESSNER
Managing Editor
Approximately 400 wolves
preyed on officials in Harrisburg to
protest the possible closing of
Cheyney University . Faculty,
students , and supporters of
Cheyney University conducted a
demonstration on the Capitol steps
on Tuesday . Demonstrators bore
signs reading, "We want
knowledge, support our college,"
"A mind is a terrible thing to
waste," and "Cheyney is the place
for me, Cheyney is the place to be."
The participants at the rally
joined hands and began by singing
"Lift Every Voice " (Black
National Anthem ) and followed
with the Cheyney Alma Mater.
They were united to respond to the
revocation of their accredidation
by the Middle States Evaluating
committee.
Many - students and staff of

Cheyney spoke in its behalf as well
as church leaders from the Chester
area . The general concensus of the
group from Cheyney is that the
revocation of accredida tion was an
abuse of the Middle States
Evaluating Committee allowed by
Gov; Dick Thornburgh and Chancellor James McCormick, of the
State System of Higher Education.
A spokesperson at the Cheyney
rally called the revocation a
"recognition of blatant racism."
Cheyney has a faculty-that is 75
percent black , a black president ,
and a predominantly black student
population. The self-proclaimed
goal of Cheyney University uttered
by a rallier is the education of
young black men and women. "We
may not have the money , but we
turn out the best !" said a Cheyney
supporter.
Most of the crowd from Cheyney
felt that there is a lack of enthusiasm to educate blacks in Pen(Continued on Page 3)

Why ?: Some good reasons
Dear Editor ,
Recently, the question "Why?"
has been thrown at me from all corners. In many instances, it has
been said in such a way as to actually be asking, "What in God's
name are you doing pledging a
black fra ternity?" No offense, but I
am tired of the term "black fraternity." Kappa Alpha Psi is not, and I
repeat, not solely a black fra ternity . There are white members, but
not in Bloomsburg.
Many people are acting as
though I am breaking some taboo.
The fraternity of Kappa Alpha Psi
is open to any man who can meet
the challenge. The only
requirement is a 2.5 cumulative
average. If a student wishes to
pledge, he can. There is no rush
where he lists his first three
choices and then prays for a bid.
Anyone can pledge, the trick is to
make it through the strict and well
disciplined program that is involved in becoming a brother . The
pledge program of Kappa Alpha
Psi is designed to bring the students who are pledging together as
close as any set of friends. This is
accomplished by forcing the

pledges to rely on each other and to
trust each other 24 hours a day
throughou t the program. I saw how
tightly knit all the Kappas are and
noted tha t the pledge program did
not involve any of the stupid "drink
until you drop" or "eat off the
floor" techniques that some fraternities use to degrade their pledges
instead of testing them. I looked at
the standards of Kappa Alpha Psi
and decided that this was what I
wanted.
I have heard the phrases "Looks
out of place" and "Get a real frat."
I have been asked, "What are you
trying to prove?" If there are
people who can not handle what I
am doing, I'm sorry, that is their
problem. I am handling it and I do
not need the abuse from those who
can 't. There are people, on the
other hand, who have and are supporting what I am doing. I wish to
thank them.
I am not looking for a pat on the
back. I am not trying to change or
challenge the whole human race. I
am simply trying to do what I want
to, without the interference from
those who can not deal with it.

.. ...

Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
"Rear Window " suspense article
that appeared in the Monday, March 4th issue. I also went to Carver
to see the 2 p.m. showing of the
movie and I was told that the movie
would not be shown because no one
showed up. (I arrived there at 2
p.m. promptly).
There was no mention that other
students had shown up to see the
movie.
As a result, I returned- to my
dorm room and spent a boring afternoon there! I planned to go at 2
p.m. because I already made other

plans for Sunday night. As it turned
out, the movie was shown after all
:— even if it was at 3:00 p.m.
I was not aware that the
Program Board (or whoever is in
charge) had a rule that 15 people
must be present to show a movie.
As a result, I and a few other
students who could only see the 2
p.m. showing missed the movie!
I hope next time these people will
take us into consideration — after
all, they're still getting paid
whether or not the movie is shown !
Signed me,
"Another Aggravated
Hitchcock Fan"

Dear Viewers,
I would like to address the subject concerning the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "Rear Window ",
that was shown on Sunday,
February 24 at 2:00.' As the supervisor in charge, I am responsible
for the showing of each movie at
the proper time. The policy of the
Kehr Union is to show scheduled
movies regardless of the number of
people present. Because I was not
present to make a decision , the
student working did not know the

policy involved. I accept the blame
for the inconvenienve to the students involved. When I arrived late I
was confronted by a student who
wanted to see the movie. I then, to
the best of my ability, proceeded to
show the movie. Because the
screen and sound were not set up
the movie had been delayed, I am
sorry and next time I will make
sure this does not happen.
Thank You,
William Rolley
Student Supervisor

nsylvania and in the United States.
As spoken by some demonstrators ,
"I see South Africa in Southeastern
Pennsylvania," "They are not
trying to take our accredidation,
they are trying to steal it out from
under us with our eyes open,"
"This is cultural genocide," "I will
no longer be held down, you will not
send me to your white universities
so you can fill your quotas!"
The Cheyney group addressed
the rumor that the fault of the matter lay with Cheyney President
C.T. Wright and the faculty. They
stressed the fact that these men
and women received their PhD's
from "your white universities."•
The group asked for the 'real
culprit' to stand up, and demanded
that Governor Thornburgh come
out and see them.
Rev. Wm. Rocky Brown III, Controller of the city of Chester, spoke
in Cheyney's behalf. "I am controller of Chester because I
graduated from Cheyney," said
Brown. "They may call us fools but
I don't know any fools that came
out of Cheyney. Racism is still
alive and well in America," said
Brown.
Brown feels that the revocation is
tied to the expansion of West
Chester University, another state
school close to Cheyney. "West
Chester has expanded as far as it

can go. For it to expand farther ,
they have to do someting with
Cheyney. The white men sit around
and decided they had to do
something with the nigs."
Brown claimed that no one can
take Cheyney away from them
because God gave it to them. "In
1837, God saw our plight and gave
us a piece of land. God gave it and
only God can take it away. ''
Another church official from the
Chester area spoke fondly of
Cheyney. "We are proud of
Cheyney, we have heard the
negative too long and it is time you
hear the whole story."
Davert Palmer, of Cheyney
University claims that Cheyney is
being treated as a scapegoat for
racism. "We have not been treated
the same as the other state schools.
White America is trying to repeat
history by putting Cheyney in its
place,'' said Palmer.
A letter was read at the rally
from Congressman Robert W.
Edgar , PA 7th District.
Congressman Edgar expressed his
support of Cheyney University and
would like to see Cheyney allowed
to continue the tradition of quality
education.
Following the demonstration, the
crowd marched to the Forum
Auditorium for a press conference
and meeting with the Board of
Governors of the State System of

Higher Education.
According to Cheyney faculty
member, Sonny Harris, the
"Oldest black historical institution
in America" got a bad reputation
due to bad publicity. This bad
publicity has raised a number of
difficulties which led to the current
problem, commented Harris. With
the instability with the accredida tion, Cheyney must now
face the problems of attracting new
students and retaining current
students. Harris asked the Board of
Governors to rectify the situation
by the time current students went
home in May.
Harris says that the latest report
presented to the Board contained a
number of things that were meant
to lessen Cheyney University. "We
can 't enhance Cheyney by putting
money into new programs and let
existing programs die,' said
Harris.

Christian Fellowship at BU. The
members had within themselves
the desire to do something for the
Lord, and that attitude rubbed off
on me which eventually led me to
missions," Law says. •
An opportunity arose to travel to
Scotland and Law decided to go. "I
knew other missionaries there, Bob
and Sandy Barber , who were
originally from my church," Law
says. "They returned to the states
on a visit and I asked them if they 'd
be interested in me coming over for
the summer and helping out
anyway I could. They said they
would be more than pleased to have
me." The Barbers are there as
missionaries sent by the Bible Club
Movement (BCM).

Law spent five weeks in East
Kilbride (outside Glasgow ) helping
the Barbers organize and lead
studies at the Clarkson Baptist
Church. The church also sponsored
a day camp run by BCM that Law
helped publicize and counsel. This
camp was mainly attended by 11 to
14-year-olds.
"Camp was full of many activities," Law says. "These consisted of Bible studies, a mission
spot that emphasized the culture
and religion of Japan , a serial story
and crafts like picture frames
made out of wallpaper and woodburning."
They played American and Scottish games, too. Law says, "They
enjoyed our game of kickball ; they
never played basketball before,
and therefore had never seen high
top basketball sneakers ; they
called mine boots." Their favorite
game is soccer, "but they call it
football," Law says. "They don't
have American football there, but
t h e r e a r e soccer f i e l d s
everywhere." Some of the games
they play in Scotland are "Swedish
long ball, similiar to out baseball,"
Law says, "and lawn bowling,
where you roll oblong balls on the
lawn aiming toward a smaller ball
as the target."
The camp also helped out
cleaning at a nursing home, had a
treasure hunt, and visited the U.S.
naval base dry dock at Holylpch.
"Their culture is very relaxed
and laid back," Law says, they often just "sit around and have some
tea. The kids there are hot as hard
to please. They have not been
brought up in the TV society
always wanting to be entertained ,
and often entertain themselves by
reading," Law says.
"The houses are much smaller
and the front yard is smaller itjjan

our average driveway," says Law.
"Many turn the yard into a rose
garden. The kitchen refrigerator is
dorm size, and freezers are rare."
They do not plan their meals ahead
and women spend their* afternoons
at the store everyday.
Law believes he would rather
"work here with young Christians
than over seas in full time mission
work. I'd love to do it again," (go
back to visit Scotland), Law says ,
but because of finances , he may
ha ve to wait a few years.
This past trip was financed half
by himself , and the other half from
his parents, sister and home church. "I had a good job the summer
before to pay for school and still
had some left over, which I put
towards going to Scotland," Law
says. "Both of my parents are
devout Christians and work with
my church at home. My parents
were very supportive of me in my
decision to go to Scotland and offered to help me finance the. trip if I
needed it. I raised enough through
the church and my savings that I
didn 't need their financial help."

Law is a senior business
education major. "I like business
and enjoy working with
teenagers ," Law says, "and with
an education in teaching it is going
to help in any Christian work I do."
Law is presently the Intramural
Coordina tor for Fellowship of
^ Christian Athletes and enjoys participating in sports , and fishing.
Law says "What I really learned,
and as advice for other people
thinking of missions, is to know the
Bible, not only the verses but the
history also. You are the only one
they have to answer questions."

Special education

Professor makes students his specialty

BECKY BERNSTEIN
Voice Contributor
Some . parents content themselves with raising one family. One
local man, however, after raising
six children, is determined to keep
his home full. From college students to foreign exchange students, to
handicapped foster children, he's
had all kinds. Even away from
home Dr. William Jones spends
most of his time teaching and
helping kids. "I guess my wife and
I have always loved kids," the BU
special education professor says.
Jones says that -after their own
children were grown and well able
to care for themselves, his wife,
Shirley, brought up the idea of
having more children in their
home. He says she believed she
was well qualified as a parent,
having already raised six children,
and she didn 't want the experience
to go to waste. "If my wife had her
own- way and a million dollars,
she'd start a home for children," he
laughs.
Lacking the million dollars, the
Jones' opened their own home to
children of all ages and situations,
including those within his teaching
priority, special education . His
three foster children have
problems that require special
education and categorize them as
individuals.
e x c e p t i o na l
Professionally, there are 11
divisions of exceptional children,
but the most known descriptions
are mentally handicapped and
phyiscally handicapped.
Jones spends his time working
with and teaching students about
exceptional persons. At home, his
foster children keep him constantly
involved with the handicapped , and
seldom leave him time to relax. "It
is one thing to teach them and
another to live with their
problems," he says.
To Jones, greater than the
problems with his handicapped
foster children are the benefits he
gets from them. "You become a
stronger, more understanding person when you help them;" he says.
"We in our society tend to take
things for granted, but how does it
feel to know that your parents
didn't want you?" he asks. It
makes him think that maybe the
children are in situations that he
himself couldn ?t handle.
Coming to understand the handicapped required a lot of learning
through experience for Jones.
"Some of their problems are the
sairie as mine," he says, "but
theirs are just a little deeper." He
believes that people don't look at
the handicaps exceptional students

must overcome. "If we put ourselves in their position we might
realize that we may not have the
stamina to keep trying as they do,"
he says.
Jones' past record of teaching experience demonstrates his
stamina. He began his teaching
career in elementary physical
education, in 1951, in Nebraska. He
went on to instruct junior high
math and after earning his
master's degree in education in
1958, from the Uiversity of
Nebraska , he worked as a high
school guidance counselor and
coached high school wrestling.
Jones learned from his early
teaching experience. The public
school years, taught him how to
deal with some special students.
"Back then they didn't have
special education for the kids so
regular classroom teachers had to
deal with the problems," he explains.
After earning his doctorate of
education, in 1961, also at the
University of Nebraska , he became
a part-time instructor at the
university and also took a job as a
Juvenile Court probation officer.
At the court he deepened his understanding of children in tough
family situations . "If I had been
brought up in the same environments as some of the kids, I'd
probably have done worse than
they did," he says.
The part time positions gave
Jones time to look for full time
prospects. He heard of an opening
at Selinsgrove Center. Having lived
west of the Mississippi all of his
life, he thought the move east
would be a nice change.
At the center he was in constant
contact with BU and Bloomsburg
High School students that came to
work with the residents. Through
these connections he heard about
an open teaching position in
psychology at BU. He held that
position for two years until the
director of special education left
the college and Jones took over the
office.
Although he enjoyed the director
position Jones still prefers to work
with students and exceptional
children. He served as advisor to
Beta Sigma Delta for 17 years, and
a large wooden paddle bearing the
Greek initials hangs on his office
wall to prove it.
Since 1976, he has been advisor to
Youth-Columbia Association for
Retarded Citizens (CARC). CARC
sponsors major activities for
children like Special Olympics arid
Camp Future. It also does special
services ;like arts and crafts nights

for Whitehaven Center's residents
and trips to the Bloomsburg Fair
for Selinsgrove residents.
The CARC advisor has fond
memories of Camp Future, a day
camp for the area's retarded
children. He says he is happy just
to see the change in relationships
and people that occur through the
camp.
Equally special to Jones have

been Special Olympic events. He
recalls when the Eastern Pennsylvania soccer championships
were held in Bloosmburg, outside
Nelson Fieldhouse. "Parents were
there," he says, appreciative of the
way they supported their children.
He says "one boy's parents were in
tears. The mother said to me 'I
never would have pictured him

Forensics captureslhird
in Maryland competition

GRACE COLEMAN
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University
Forensic Team traveled to Anne
Arundel-Community College, Arnold, Md., after receiving a special
invitation to compete in the
Maryland State Competition on
March 2.
Coming home with 12 awards , the
team captured 3rd place sweepstakes in over-all competition. Six

Attitude
Adjustment Hour
TOM JONES
Voice Contributor
Recently a workshop dealing
with depression and suicide was
presented in Columbia Hall. At the
time, some of the residents expressed a desire for some kind of
sounding board for their day-to-day
problems.
Of course, optimally, we have a
friend or group of friends who are
willing to hear us out when we are
down and out. But at times these
friends just aren 't available or for
one reason or another , we would
rather talk to someone else. So at
the request of some Columbia Hall
residents, an Attitude Adjustment
Hour has been initiated.
It will be held every Monday and
Wednesday from 4-5 p.m. starting
Monday, March 25 in the Blue
Room of the Union.
Two BU students , Jenny
McGinley and Tom Jones , will be
available for any student , faculty
or staff , who needs to blow off some
steam or talk out personal concerns.
The Attitude Adjustment Hour
will be informal. Anyone may drop
by at any time during the hour and
may leave whenever he/she
chooses.
So stop by and vent your
frustrations, emotions tensions ,
aggravations, aggressions , and
depressions.

"Bartender , I'll have a daquiri."
Now for the first time in BU's history students can receive 25 cent
strawberry daquiries, strawberry coladas, and pina coladas on campus
without getting in trouble with the campus police.
No, the campus policies have not changed. But the Program Board's
dances have, with the new "Nile Class" non-alcoholic drink and 'night'
*
club theme.
The "Nite-Class" theme, which is the Program Board's new idea of
having a non-alcoholic drink bar and cocktail tables at dances, is still in
its experimental stage.
The first "Nite-Class" theme dance took place at the Valentine's Dance
in February . "Nite-Class's" second trial run was the fifties' dance held in
the Kehr Union on March 2.
Progra m Board Supervisor Jimmy Gilliland said that the students
really seem to enjoy the drinks. Gilliland said that the most popular drink
and the first item to run out were the strawberry daquiries.
Frances Herbert , a Quest staff member, said, "I think "Nite-Class " is
a great way to take all the emphasis off alcohol involved activities . It was
great to see the students dancing and having a good time without
alcohol." Herbert did say, however, that she thought the drink-making
was a bit too slow.
When asked about the problem, Gilliland said that the reason the drinks
took so long to prepare was because the blender used was only a conventional blender that wasn't made for continuous use and ice-crushing.
"We're currently in the process of getting prices for commerical blenders," says Gilliland. "Once we buy the better blenders, I think the
problem will be solved."
The next "Nite-Class" dance is expected sometime at the end of March
or possibly early April.
If any students have special non-alcoholic drink recipes, they can drop
their suggestions off at the Program Board office located on the ground
floor of the Kehr Union. .

King shines in
Freshman season

HENRY HAIDACHER
Sports Writer

One of a high school wrestler's
biggest goals is to step on the
wrestling mat at his states' championships tournament. Placing in a
state tournament proves that you
are one of the best wrestlers the
state has to offer, and only a handful of wrestlers can say they did it.
Marty King has placed five times.
New York's rules let a person in
eighth grade wrestle for their high
school team, but the person must
pass a series of tests before being
allowed to wrestle. "The tests are
made up of sit-ups, push-ups,
puberty tests, and running," says
King, "The tests are set-up so they
are very hard, and many people do
not pass them. The state wants to
make sure nobody gets hurt."
King, 19, started his wrestling
career at Canandaigua Academy,
Canandaigua , N.Y. He won five letters in wrestling, and two in football.
At the end of King's first season,
he placed second in the New York
State Wrestling Championship. "I
was -put in a good bracket and
things worked out well for me at
the first state tournament," he
says. King reached the finals and
lost a close match.
King's next two years at states
were a little tougher. Being a returner , he was favored to win the 91pound class. After cutting weight to
make the tournament, King's first
round opponent caught him in a
move and put him on his back.
"Fighting against the pin really
weaken me," says King, "I didn't
have enough left to take the match." He fought back in the consolation matches and earned a
thrid place finish.
King's sophomore year, the 112pound class had a group of outstanding wrestlers that placed high
in the states the year before. He
finished fourth . In his last two
years, he was unbeatable and
became the 119-pound, and 126pound champion. His 168 wins is a
state record, and made him one of
the most recruited wrestlers in the
United States.
"I visited a few big schools,"
says King, "The major school 's
recruiter's job is to get you to come
to their college. My brother
wrestles at a major college and
gave me some insight on how the
program is run." King wanted to go
where he would be happy.

Swimmers place 10t h

SARAH HACKFORTH
Sports Editor
Three school records were left by the wayside as the BU women's swim
team finished 10th in the team race at the NCAA Division II women's
swimming and diving championshi ps last Saturday in Orlando.
Gwen Cressman finished her career at Bloomsburg as a national champion in the 200 IM and a 21-time All-American. Gwen's:backstroke events
and her national championship swimming in the 200 individual medley
were absolutely spectacular," commented head coach Mary Gardner.
Cressman's swim in the 200 IM was not only a school record but also a
national record. The senior placed fourth in both the 100 and. 200
backstroke setting a new school record in the 200.
Kelly Knaus broke the school record on her way to taking 6th in the 400
IM. The junior placed 15th in the 200 IM behind team mate Cressman.
Beth Roeder was the only other Husky to place in the individual swimming events. The freshman placed 8th in the 200 butterfly while breaking
the school record .
South Florida won the title with 492 points followed by runner-up CalNorthridge (380). PSAC powerhouse Clarion (315) finished third and CalDavis and North Dakota finished with an identical 234. Northern
Michigan ( 184) , Furman (165) , Air Force ( 164) , Boston College ( 160) and
Bloomsburg (155) ranked at the top ten finishers.
The 800 freestyle relay team ( Cressman, Kim Mader, Dana Grubb,
knaus ) broke a school record while finishing 5th. The 400 medley relay
team (Cressman, Crystal -Wilt, Roeder, Grubb) also broke a school
record and registered 9th in final standings.
"The seventh through 11th places were determined in the last event
( 400 yard freestyle relay) ," said Gardner. ''We lost momentum Saturday
morning in the preliminaries and our 400 freestyle relay team did not
qualify for the championship finals." "Over all we accomplished what we
went down there for . Our goals were to get AU-Americans and a top ten
finish with the team."
Margeret Norris finished 21st in the one meter diving event. The freshman failed by a fraction of a point to qualify for the final rounds.
Grubb, a senior, qualified as an Ail-American four times this season as
did Knaus, a junior . Freshmen Roeder qualified three times, Wilt twice
and Paulette Fahringer and Mader once each.
"Everyone had fantastic performances all week long and I'm very
proud," said Gardner.

University assistant wrestling
coach at the University of North
Carolina. "I went to camp at
U.N.C., so I knew coach Poff pretty
well," says King, "When it came to
recruiting, I knew he was being
straight with me." After looking at
two other Pennsylvania state
schools, he signed with Bloomsburg. "Deciding on a school was
tough, but I'm glad I came to
Bloomsburg, I like it here," says
King.
King's first couple of weeks in the
wrestling room were not easy for
him. "It took some time for Marty
to adjust. He really didn't have
anyone to drill with in high school,"
says John Moser, senior cocaptain, "He had a hard time
scoring a point. Now that he is used
to the situation in the room, he
hammers people during practice."
king's college record is 30-7-1,
and coach Poff contributes his success to being a well-rounded
wrestler. "A college freshman is
usually lacking in one of the three
positions (top, bottom, or standing) , but Marty is solid in all
three. He has great hips, and a
great 'mat sense' when he's in a
match," says Poff , "Marty keeps
his 'head' even when he's down in a
match, and this control helps him
pull out the close ones."
King has been very successful in
tournament action for the Huskies.
