Strike: Reality or Rumor?
LORI LEONARD
Executive Editor

A unanimous strike authorization vote
by the Special Assembly of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and
University faculties (APSCUFXon Saturday will allow for a strike authorization
vote by approximately 80 percent of the
faculty within the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) who are members of
APSCUF on the fourteen state-owned
campuses. This vote does not begin a strike, and
does not require that a faculty member
who votes positively is committed to
strikewhen the final offers are presented
and ratified or rejected, in late October.
The vote simply shows the bargaining
team for the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) that the faculty are
considering a strike in the event that the
negotiations are not successful.
Contract talks have been going on
since February, and the faculty have
agreed to an extension of their previous
contract, which Janice Fitzgerald, press
agent for SSHE says is a day to day extension until a settlement is reached , or
the final step of a strike occurs.
SSHE Chancellor James McCprmick,
a former Bloomsburg University president, has presented APSCUF with the
last economic offer, a five percent increase the first year of the proposed twoyear contract for all faculty in step G of
the pay scale. That will account for approximately 75 percent of the faculty in
SSHE.
The remaining 25 percent will receive
a one percent cash bonus the first year,
and a two percent cash bonus the second
year of the contract. The faculty in step
G would receive another five percent increase the second year of the contract.
In a recent meeting of Bloomsburg
APSCUF, members discussed asking for
a five percent increase for all faculty in
the SSHE, regardless of what pay-scale
step the faculty member is in. The five
percent increase would be for the first
year of the contract, and APSCUF is
asking for a six percent raise for the second year of the contract.
In addition to the salary increases,
APSCUF members would like a payscale step adjustments for all faculty in
both 1986 and 1987.
The economic issue is not the only one

dean of student development and a
member of the APSCUF bargaining
team.
"There are still issues on the table including grievance, department chairpersons, performance, fringe benefits, work

EDITORIAL

Contract talks have been rapidly deteriorating between the State System of
Higher Education and the system's faculty union, APSCUF.
Talks of a strike
are being heard and students throughout the fourteen state-owned universities are
becoming concerned.
There is a possibility of a strike, and that possibility is becoming more and
more prevalentas APSCUF passes strike authorization votes, and SSHE continues
not to offer any more economic proposals at the bargaining table.
In a very confusing situation where most people would like to see a right and
a wrong, there are no black and white lines. It is the proverbial grey area.
Both groups, the teacher's union APSCUF and the State System of Higher
Education, have a common goal of quality education, but there are differences in
opinion when it comes to the ways to insure a quality education.
The teachers feel that to have a quality education, you must have salaries that
are competitive enough to lure highly qualified applicants to Bloomsburg. The
teachers say this is not the case at the present time and that with many of the recent
faculty searches, the university's first choice has chosen to take a position at a university with a higher salary offer.
The Chancellor of the State System of Higher Education , Dr. James McCormick, a former BU president, is committed to quality higher education within the
state system, but he also has the responsibility of keeping the costs down. There
was an increase in the basic fee this summer, and if the teachers want more than
the Chancellor is offering, you can be sure there would be another increase.
The staff of this paper has agreed to take a stand on the strike issue, a position
which may be a controversial one.
The Voice would like to show our support for the teachers in their plight to
retain academic excellence through the hiring and retention of co"mpetent, highly
superior faculty.
The only way to accomplish these goals is to have competitive salaries with
universities throughout the country. That is not the case at Bloomsburg or throughout
the-rest of the state system. Over the last six years, the percentage of increases
in average faculty salaries for all professors in the U.S. amounted to 17.5 percent
more than the increase for the SSHE faculty.
At least since 1979, the increases in salary for the Pennsylvania State Colleges
and Universities, and the SSHE have been far behind the increase in the consumer
price index, thus decreasing the buying power of the faculty.
And even more frustrating to professors who feel a dedication to their students
and their university, starting salaries many students make just out of a university
with a bachelors degree or a masters degree are often higher than the salary of
the professors who taught that student at the higher education level . These professors may have doctorates and up to 15 years experience on the job.
The teachers at Bloomsburg University are highly involved with the students
and many are firm believers in one-on-one sessions with students having problems.
That is allowable a a state university with a smaller population and a better student/faculty ratio than some of the larger schools.
In order to be as available to their students as possible, many professors work
additional hours to help students and inspire them to higher academic achievement
through support and motivation.
The SSHE faculty rank above many universities including Penn State, Temple, and the University of Pittsburgh in the the average amount of contact hours
with students, at 11.9 percent in 1983-1984 by the figures of the Staff Analysis of
Joint State Government Commission in February of 1984.
And the SSHE faculty are above all these universities in average total work
week hours, coming in at 55.3 hours per week in 1983-1984, while Penn State faculty
average only 52 hours per week.
The SSHE is a quality educational system and will continue to be one with
faculty such as these. But to lure faculty with these kind of credentials and aspirations is not easy at the salaries offered prospects to the SSHE.

Salary is not the only issue in the contract talks that APSCUF feels would
damage the SSHE's educational superiority.
The Chancellor has proposed a voluntary work load for the faculty of 27 credit
hours per year (15 credits one semester, 12 credits the other), and has agreed that
if the faculty will accept the work load , they will no longer be evaluated.
The evaluation system took a long time to be developed to have some merit,
and who will its abolition help?
If the evaluation system were done away with , students would have no input
into their education and the quality of professors may find itself declining.
APSCUF workedto have a fair evaluationsystem developed, and Chancellor McCormick was active in its foundations and now wants to have it destroyed.
The additional work load also worries teachers who use time outside the
classroom for personal research and community growth and service.
There are many issues still on the table that must be compromised before a
settlement is reached.
We hope APSCUF will do what is necessary not to compromise the quality
education available to students who choose the state system in Pennsylvania.
If it means talk of a strike, the Voice staff will be marked for the record as
supporting such a move.
Of course we trust that every possible effort will be made to avert such a move,
and we also trust that APSCUF will keep in mind that there are 6,000 students
on this campus alone who lives might be wrecked havoc with if such a move were
to come to pass.
But we believe they do know all of this and. so wait patiently for an outcome
beneficial to us all.

BU receives award
Eilen Van Horn
Staff Writer

In a world of the almighty dollar,
where most people shudder at the
thought of doing something for nothing,
BU has received one of the state's top
awards for doing just that- volunteering.
Bloomsburg University ranked
among 112 organizations receiving the
Keystone-Award of Merit.
The award, presented by the Governor's Private Sector Initiative TaskForce,
was based on a survey completed by Dr.
John S. Mulka, head of student development at BU. „

"The questionnaire was sent to me
to examine volunteerism in the commenwealth." said Mulka, "The award is
based on the quality and quantity of the
work provided by the students.''
The service's provided by the
students include the volunteer fair, bloodmobiles, and dance marathons. Students
also fulfill requests from the Area Agency on Aging to mow lawns, remove snow,
and participate in the annual canned food
drives.
The award, displayed in the Kehr
Union Building, will make students
aware of their effort.

Debi and Megan Smith (who assured
the audience they're really sisters) call
their music "fusion folk." they believe
the popularity of folk music is returning.
But instead of the usual folk style, they
blended their music with traditional
Celtic and contemporary music. Tovary
their performance, they added comical
songs as in "The American Health
Soa''and told an occasional ioke between

S%

numbers. Their repertoire also included songs by Simon and Garfunkel, The
Roches and Linda Ronstadt.
Their talent didn 't end with singing.
Since they began singing together four
years ago, they 've added such instruments . as the guitar, Irish drum,
dulicimer and even a kazoo to their
performance.
"Bluebird," their debut album, includes original and traditional tunes
which Debi and Megan have performed
at clubs, college campuses and on radio
and TV.
The harmonious "fusion folk" sisters
performed for an enthusiastic but poor
audience, however they didn't appear

a case of raccoon retaliation or squirrel

fierce ferretts, dare-devil ducks, or-suicide squirrels?

X/ C Season Open
MIKE FEELEY
Sports Editor

Several Bloomsburg University players celebrate last season's thrilling victory over West Chester
during the Huskies' march to a Pennsylvania Conference "State Game" appearance. This season
the Huskies hope to.do one better and capture the PC crown with a return appearance and a victory
in the "State Game." BU is led on offense by quarterback Jay Dedea (No. 2, shown above). Joe
Dowd, Kevin Grande, and Ken Liebel will be Dedea's primary pass receivers while Calvin Robinson, Jeff Flickner, and Tom Futch will do the majority of the running for the Huskies. Frank Sheptock and Tony Woods, both AP Little Ail-American selections last season, will lead a defense that
returns eleven starters from a year ago. The Huskies begin their season at home on Saturday, hosting
Shippensburg in a 1:30 p.m. contest at Redman Stadium. The game may be heard on WHLM-AM 55.0.

Tennis Preview

The Bloomsburg University men's
cross country team opened its 1985
season with a 15-50 win over Cheyney
and a 24-33 loss to West Chester.
The Huskies win over the Wolves
came by fbrfiet as the Cheyney squad did
not show for the meet.
"For a school having all that academic
trouble, it seems they are just hurting
themselves by not showing up for a sporting event," said BU coach Ron Puhl.
West Chester's Jon Shappell was the
overall winner of the meet with a time
of 27:28 with teammate Kevin Kelly
finishing second with the same time.
Bloomsburg's top finisher was Graig
Koch a freshman from Boyertown High
School. Koch finished third with a time
of 27:52.
"Koch is going to be a good runner,"
said Puhl, "He finished as the Pennsylvania District 1 Cross Country Champion in high school."
Koch was followed by Chris Ludy who
ran a time of 28:30 and Dan Netting who
ran 28:31 on the five-mile course
"I was counting on Mike Greene to
finish higher up in the scoreing," said
Puhl, "But he got a stone in his shoe during the race, and it dropped him back.
Greene a senior captain finished fourth
for the Huskies and ninth overall with
a time of 29:59. Bloomsburg other scorer
was Tom Kanger Who finished 14 with
a time of 31:21.
According to Puhl, in order for the
team to do well in the competitions, his
fourth and fifth place finishers are going to have to run better.
"\bu are only as good as your weakest
link," Puhl added.
The team will be traveling to the
Lafayette Invitational this weekend. The
first home meet for the team will be
September 28 against East Stroudsburg
and Lock Haven.

the
excitement
of
the
U.S. Open Tennis Championship is.over,
Even though
Bloomsburg University tennis fans need not be disappointed. They need only to
keep a watchful eye on the 1985 BU women's tennis team.
The Huskies, who finished a disappointing sixth in last season's Pennsylvania
Conference Championship will face 10 opponents in dual matches prior to going
to Hershey Raquet Club on October 18-19 for the Pennslyvania Conference
Tournament.
According to Coach Michael "Doc" Herbert, "Although we will have four
freshmen in the starting lineup, this is a talented group and I'm confident we will
improve on last season's finish in the conference tourney."
Despite his optimism, Herbert knows his Huskies will be encountering some
very challenging opponents within the weeks to come and will inevitably face some
tough competition. Herbert must find a replacement for the school's all time winningest player and two-time conference champion, Justine Landis.
Landis, who graduated last year, accumulated a record of 63-15 and won two
conference crowns in 1983 and 1984 while playing in the number one singles posiRay Ricketts, assistant basketball

Although early in the season, Herbert has a good notion of which girls will be coach at Springfield (MA) College for

(Continued on r*tge7)
.' . In addition to his basketball duties,

The Bloomsburg University women's
cross country team opened its 1985
season with forfeit victories over
Cheyney and West Chester Universities.
''The coach for West Chester showed
a lot of character when he had a few girls
run," said Coach Ron Puhl. "This gave
our girls a chance to test themselves in
competition," he added.
In order to have a score in a cross
country meet, a team must have five runners. Since West Chester had only two
runners, the meet was forfeited and the
score was 15-50.
"At least they had a few runners
there," said Puhl. "Cheyneydid.not even
show up."
Janine Franko of BU finished first in
the meet with a time of 20:42 over the
three mile course.
"She came to me after the race and
apologized for running a bad time,'' said
Puhl. "How could she push herself, the
second place finisher was about twominutes behind her."
The two West Chester runners finished second and third. Sue Schoenberger
ran 22:07 and Melissa Dues ran a time
of 22:09.
The other top runners for the Huskies
were Karen Hensler who ran 22:16, Ellen
Deam who ran a time of 22:25, Karen
Reiss who ran 22:30 and Marni Taylor
who ran 24:06.
Although there were only two others
in the race, Puhl was pleased with the
performance Of his runners and is hoping for good race times out of most of
them throughout the year.
The team will be traveling to the
Lafayette Invitational this weekend and
will have their first home meet on
September 28.

New coach named
Ricketts will serve in an academic advisement capacity for Bloomsburg's
student/athletes.
A native of Pottstown, Ricketts was a
1974 graduate of Albright College, and
earned his master's degreeat Springfield
in 1976.
