GREETINGS TO ALUMNI

Another Ca111pus Landmark Bows Out To Progress
NOETLING HALL -
... July 20, 1967
June 1, 1967
By BOYD F. BUCKINGHAM
. D{~l1E!>_r o[J!evelopment
Growth, progress, and the ravages of time took their toll of a familiar campus landmark
during July and August, 1967. Noetling Hall, constructed in 1886, was demolished to provide
part of the site for a new air-conditioned dining hall-kitchen.
Originally known as Normal Hall, the structure first contained twenty small recitation
rooms and six recitation or class rooms. The twenty small rooms, in which members of the
Senior Class did their teaching, apparently constituted the Model School.
In recent decades, Noetling Hall had provided space for college classrooms, faculty offices,
the.Day Women's Lounge, the duplicating and machines room, the audio-visual laboratory
and, for a brief time, the College Store.
Hundreds of children from the Bloomsburg area learned "the three R's" and later participated in more advanced studies in the classrooms of "Old Noeding." As the demolition
work progressed, some area residents and alumni wondered why the building couldn't have
remained as part of the history and tradition of Bloomsburg.
Those who observed the demoHtion at close range needed no explanation for the demise
of Noetling Hall. Both timber and mortar had dried and deteriorated to a point which made
renovation impossible, and in another year or two the building would have been unsafe for
use by the college community.
We look back with regret at the passing of an old friend whose service to the college
spanned four decades.
We look forward with anticipation and enthusiasm when we consider the service which
the new dining hall will provide for countless thousands of students, faculty, alumni, and
guests.

PLACEMENT OF PRESENT
B.S.C.- GRADS. .IS -HIGH ...
The Class of 1967 at B.S.C. numbered over
550 and next year's class will number over
600. It has not been too long ago that our
total enrollment numbered not much more
than 600. Employment opportunities have
grown with the increasing number of graduates. As of mid-August all but 25 of the
class of 1967 were accounted for either as
gainfully employed or not available for employment. The actual number of unplaced
graduates is very small since there is usually
a delay between the taking of a position and
the reporting of it to the Placement Office.
The graduates who are going into teaching are starting for salaries that average
about $5,350. Pennsylvania's starting salaries
are still less than those of her eastern neigh-.
hors but the gap has closed somewhat in
the last year. In that period, in order to
compete for teachers, many Pennsylvania
school districts raised their salary schedules
above the state mandated minimum. About
75% of the graduates have taken teaching
positions in Pennsylvania at starting salaries
which average about $5,200. The other 25'%
are teaching out of state and will receive
salaries that average about $5,750.
The first Arts and Sciences graduates comprograms, they fill a very important need. No
matter how large the government SJJ:ODSOred
pleted their program in 1966. Most of these
programs become, there <11:' a considerable

$500,000 In Financial Aid To B.S.C. Students
Financial aid for college students has become a big business almost overnight and
Bloomsburg State College has kept pace with
th&-times. The.rollege is .. paxticipating in..a
number of Federal and State government
aid programs as well as maintaining its own
financial programs, the latter being supported
largely through the efforts of the Alumni
Association.
During the last school year over $500,000
was given or lent to B.S.C. students via the
following government programs: Educational
Opportunity Grants, National Defense Loans,
Guaranteed Loans, and Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency Scholarships. In
addition, over $200,000 was made available
through employment on the Federal WorkStudy Program, the Pennsylvania State Student Employment Program, and the Slater
Food Service.
Our local effort consists of the various
awards which are known as the Alumni
ASSQCiation Loans and the B.S.C. Scholarships. Numbering among the latter are six
Alumni Scholarships. While the amounts of
aid made available through local effort are
small by comparison with the government

ENROLLMENT APPRAISAL
Slightly over 3,200 full time students, are
expected to complete registration for the first
semester of the 1967-68 college year in September. Freshmen will represent about 785
of the total figure.
In summarizing new admissions, John L.
Walker, Director of Admissions, stated that
6,334 applications were originally distributed
for the 1967-68 college year with 3,146
application procedures initiated. From this
number 1,390 applicants were offered admission with 945 accepting offer of admission. Cancellations have reduced this figure
to 785 students accepted, which is the maximum number of new students that can be
accepted due to limitations on campus of
classroom space, dormitory space, and dining facilities. As a result of these campus
restrictions, applications for prospective resident women were not sent out after early
January, 1967.
The new freshman class will consist of
students from 39 Pennsylvania counties, representing 229 high schools, along with students from 7 other states representing 34
high schools. Luzerne County has the largest
representation with 118 students followed by
Northumberland County with 97 students.
New Jersey has the largest out of state representation with 21 students from 16 high
schools.
Twenty-three percent of the incoming
freshmen ranked in the top ten pe,rcent of
their graduating class. Included in this group
are 13 valedictorians, 11 salutatorians, 16
who ranked 3rd in their class, 13 who ranked
4th in their class, and 10 who ranked 5th in
their class. The average total scored on the
College Board SAT mean scores for the
class, combining verbal means with math
means, was approximately 1,000.

Football Outlook '67
As we get ready to go to press during the
latter part of August, the Bloomsburg State
College football team, which opens its 1967
schedule at Shippensburg State College on
September 16, is aiming towards the Huskies'
first winning season since 1960. However, to
accomplish this feat will be no easy task as
the first four games of the nine game schedule are on the road.
Coach Russell Houk, who has JJOSted two
consecutive ( 4-4) break-even seasons, has a
good nucleus from a better-than-average
freshman team to join 15 returning lettermen to give the squad the best pros,pect for
more depth since the freshman rule was inaugurated several years ago. Houk will be
assisted by the line coach, Bob Davenport,
and backfield coach, Ron Puhl.
The real bright spot for Houk and his
assistants is the number of key veterans returning to spearhead the attack. Dick Lichtel, Shamokin, will be back for his third
year at quarterback and should be one of the
top signal callers in the Pennsylvania State
College Conference. His favorite targets will
by two other senior ends Bob Tucker, Hazleton, 1966 all PSCAC selection on both the
offensive and defensive units, and Stan Kucharski, Archbald, honorable mention on several selections. Several professional scouts
have indicated their interest in these two
ends. Lichtel has shown BSC fans some exciting football in his play calling over the past
two years.
Working with Lichtel in the backfield will
be two returning halfbacks, Joe Gerst, Danville, and Art Sell, Souderton neither
very big, but speedy and shifty. Either of
these two seniors or sophomore, Gerry Little,
Greenville, S.G., may operate from the fullback slot. Two other prospective sophomore
halfb,acks are Craig Berger, Phoenixville, and
John DiMichele, Williamsport.
Line play will be led by senior guards
Bob Surridge, Kingston, and Steve McCord,
Shamokin, and . tackle Bill Moul, Spring
Grove. Junior Ray Smay, Clearfield, will be
back at a line backing position this year and
will probably be offensive center. Two other
good line prospects are tackle Fred Harris,
Willi.amsport, and Alfred Melito, Berwick, a
stand out at guard in spring practice. Last
year's end, Bruce Krammes., Orwigsburg,
may be called on to help out at guard.
Along with Smay in the defensive unlt
will be line backers Mike Barnhart, Sunbury,
and Mike DeFrancisco, Bethlehem; defensive halfbacks Dave Shell, New Cumberland,
and Craig Shotwell, Berwick. One of last
year's line backers, John Carestia, Pottsville,
may be used as a wing back.
A larger than normal group of freshman
football prospects will be arriving in September to play a five game football schedule
under Coach Doug Boelhouwer.
GOOD NEWS-there is a good possibility that radio station WHLM, Bloomsburg (550 on your dial) will carry BSC
home and away football games this season.
WHLM's listening area covers approximately a 125 mile radius---an area in
which thousands of BSC Alumni reside.
The 1967 schedule is listed on the opposite page.

$500,000 In Financial Aid To B.S.C. Students
Financial aid for college students has become a big business almost overnight and
Bloomsburg State College has kept pace with
th&-times. The.rollege is .. paxticipating in..a
number of Federal and State government
aid programs as well as maintaining its own
financial programs, the latter being supported
largely through the efforts of the Alumni
Association.
During the last school year over $500,000
was given or lent to B.S.C. students via the
following government programs: Educational
Opportunity Grants, National Defense Loans,
Guaranteed Loans, and Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency Scholarships. In
addition, over $200,000 was made available
through employment on the Federal WorkStudy Program, the Pennsylvania State Student Employment Program, and the Slater
Food Service.
Our local effort consists of the various
awards which are known as the Alumni
ASSQCiation Loans and the B.S.C. Scholarships. Numbering among the latter are six
Alumni Scholarships. While the amounts of
aid made available through local effort are
small by comparison with the government

ENROLLMENT APPRAISAL
Slightly over 3,200 full time students, are
expected to complete registration for the first
semester of the 1967-68 college year in September. Freshmen will represent about 785
of the total figure.
In summarizing new admissions, John L.
Walker, Director of Admissions, stated that
6,334 applications were originally distributed
for the 1967-68 college year with 3,146
application procedures initiated. From this
number 1,390 applicants were offered admission with 945 accepting offer of admission. Cancellations have reduced this figure
to 785 students accepted, which is the maximum number of new students that can be
accepted due to limitations on campus of
classroom space, dormitory space, and dining facilities. As a result of these campus
restrictions, applications for prospective resident women were not sent out after early
January, 1967.
The new freshman class will consist of
students from 39 Pennsylvania counties, representing 229 high schools, along with students from 7 other states representing 34
high schools. Luzerne County has the largest
representation with 118 students followed by
Northumberland County with 97 students.
New Jersey has the largest out of state representation with 21 students from 16 high
schools.
Twenty-three percent of the incoming
freshmen ranked in the top ten pe,rcent of
their graduating class. Included in this group
are 13 valedictorians, 11 salutatorians, 16
who ranked 3rd in their class, 13 who ranked
4th in their class, and 10 who ranked 5th in
their class. The average total scored on the
College Board SAT mean scores for the
class, combining verbal means with math
means, was approximately 1,000.

Football Outlook '67
As we get ready to go to press during the
latter part of August, the Bloomsburg State
College football team, which opens its 1967
schedule at Shippensburg State College on
September 16, is aiming towards the Huskies'
first winning season since 1960. However, to
accomplish this feat will be no easy task as
the first four games of the nine game schedule are on the road.
Coach Russell Houk, who has JJOSted two
consecutive ( 4-4) break-even seasons, has a
good nucleus from a better-than-average
freshman team to join 15 returning lettermen to give the squad the best pros,pect for
more depth since the freshman rule was inaugurated several years ago. Houk will be
assisted by the line coach, Bob Davenport,
and backfield coach, Ron Puhl.
The real bright spot for Houk and his
assistants is the number of key veterans returning to spearhead the attack. Dick Lichtel, Shamokin, will be back for his third
year at quarterback and should be one of the
top signal callers in the Pennsylvania State
College Conference. His favorite targets will
by two other senior ends Bob Tucker, Hazleton, 1966 all PSCAC selection on both the
offensive and defensive units, and Stan Kucharski, Archbald, honorable mention on several selections. Several professional scouts
have indicated their interest in these two
ends. Lichtel has shown BSC fans some exciting football in his play calling over the past
two years.
Working with Lichtel in the backfield will
be two returning halfbacks, Joe Gerst, Danville, and Art Sell, Souderton neither
very big, but speedy and shifty. Either of
these two seniors or sophomore, Gerry Little,
Greenville, S.G., may operate from the fullback slot. Two other prospective sophomore
halfb,acks are Craig Berger, Phoenixville, and
John DiMichele, Williamsport.
Line play will be led by senior guards
Bob Surridge, Kingston, and Steve McCord,
Shamokin, and . tackle Bill Moul, Spring
Grove. Junior Ray Smay, Clearfield, will be
back at a line backing position this year and
will probably be offensive center. Two other
good line prospects are tackle Fred Harris,
Willi.amsport, and Alfred Melito, Berwick, a
stand out at guard in spring practice. Last
year's end, Bruce Krammes., Orwigsburg,
may be called on to help out at guard.
Along with Smay in the defensive unlt
will be line backers Mike Barnhart, Sunbury,
and Mike DeFrancisco, Bethlehem; defensive halfbacks Dave Shell, New Cumberland,
and Craig Shotwell, Berwick. One of last
year's line backers, John Carestia, Pottsville,
may be used as a wing back.
A larger than normal group of freshman
football prospects will be arriving in September to play a five game football schedule
under Coach Doug Boelhouwer.
GOOD NEWS-there is a good possibility that radio station WHLM, Bloomsburg (550 on your dial) will carry BSC
home and away football games this season.
WHLM's listening area covers approximately a 125 mile radius---an area in
which thousands of BSC Alumni reside.
The 1967 schedule is listed on the opposite page.
