students, faculty members
and rural residents together
to identify and solve
problems peculiar to rural
areas.
Describing the need for the
program, its sponsors have
noted that '‘more and more,
rural society has become the
passive, acted-upon segment
of American society. Large
scale public works are
planned and built in or
through rural areas whose
needs and desires have been
taken into account only in the
most perfunctory manner.
“Simultaneously, existing
rural, political, social and
economic institutions in
creasingly are affected by
and respond to decisions and
policies arrived at centrally,
with little appreciation or
regard for local or regional
desires or needs.”
Sponsors of the program
feel, however, that there are
outstanding opportunities in
this particular geographic
area to redirect attention to
the development of rural
society. Pointing to the
region’s “unique indigenous
academic resources” they
are convinced much can be
done to assist the region in
the development of “its full
economic, cultural, and
political capabilities ac
cording to the desires of the
resident population.”
The first year of the
program will consist
primarily of an inventory
and assessment of the
resources available at the
cooperating schools, detailed
planning and development of
the program, and the
preparation of courses.
These courses would be
offered beginning in the
summer of 1975 and 1976 and
in the 1976-77 academic year.
In addition to the long
range goal of improving
many aspects of rural life, it
is hoped that the research
and study undertaken by
students and faculty in
volved in the program will
result in increased com
munity service and the
enhancement of existing
resources.
Administration of the
program will be under the
direction of a board of
directors comprised of two
representatives for each
school. A Rural Studies
Advisory Group, composed
of faculty, students and
representatives from
cooperating communities
and agencies, will be
selected by the Board.
Members of the Board of
Directors for the program
are James H. Huber,
associate professor of
sociology, and William L.
Jones, assistant dean of the
faculty, at Bloomsburg State
College; Wendell I. Smith,
provost, and Melvyn L.
Woodward, director of the
Institute of Regional Affairs,
at Bucknell University;
Arden W. Holland, Professor
of education, and Robert D.
Lynch, director of
development and Upward
Bound, at Lock-Haven State
College; and Robert L.
Clunk, registrar and
assistant to the dean, and
J.S. McCrary, chairman of
the department of sociology
and anthropology, at
Lycoming College.
Also David Darby,
assistant professor of
geography and regional
planning, and James Y'
Glimm, associate professor
of English, at Mansfield
State College, Donald
Crider, assistant professor of
rural sociology, and T.
Sherman Stanford, assistant
to the senior vice president
for development and
relations, at the Penn
sylvania State University;
