... Siberski fired
THE TRANSCRIPTS
The official reason for
Joe Siberski’s firing is his
lateness in furnishing offi-
cial transcripts of his post
-graduate courses, which
he needed to keep teaching
legally this year. There is
no question that Mr.
Siberski did indeed com-
plete the necessary work in
good standing at accredited
schools, and he has pro-
duced a letter from the
dean at one school stating
that his “transcript was
being forwarded. For the
other transcript, from Mil-
lersville State, he has a
cancelled check which paid
for the transcript, he
claims.

Mr. Siberski took courses
at a college in Colorado
this summer. He had ori-
ginally intended to go there
but due to health problems,
he says, he took the
courses by mail, using
instruction tapes and taking
proctored exams here.
According to Siberski, the
Colorado college is accred-
ited and considers its cor-
respondence courses just as
valid as its on-campus
courses.
Siberski found out early
this school year, however,
that his credits from the
Colorado school were not
equivalent to Millersville
November 23, 1977
State credits, the type used
as a standard for certifi-
cation here: they are equal
to a fraction of the loca]
ones.
When he discovered this,
Siberski got on the phone
and explained his situation
to the people out West.
They agreed to give him
the needed additional two
credits for work already
completed; namely, two
plays Siberski had written
and produced at the
Ephrata playhouse. He
mailed the scripts out, the
school looked at them, and
called him back saying that

RANDY DERR led the
team in tackles (with 55)
and fumble recoveries (11).
BILL LAMBERT & TEET
GOHN specialized in
sacking enemy quarter-
backs. Each managed to do
it 6 times.
SCOTT MOWRER caught
14 passes for 224 yards,
grabbed 11 interceptions,
and rushed 340 yards on 60
carries.
Plenty of players who
didn’t make it to the top of
the statistics column are
among the most valuable
players on the team.
Victories are won in the
trench warfare of opposing
lines, but there is no record
of exactly who contributed
the most blocks when stars
like Splain were carrying
the ball. Outstanding
athletes like Scott Jones,
Keith Persun, Leonard
Mummau, Scott Boylan,
Tim Shrum. Bill Lambert
Charles Rice and Frank
Brommer deserve plenty
of credit for the team
record.
We are certain that we
have overlooked several
fine athletes in this list,
because the statistics
don’t cover everyone's
achievements. Tom Wber,
for example, appears only
once or twice in the stats...
and he scored a touch-
down.
Even the guys who
almost never played were
good; it was a great team.
...State investigation
[continued from page 1]
If the investigators de-
cide that Siberski’s com-
plaint was justified, the
school district will be asked
to reinstate him with full
back pay. If they decide
that any class of people is
underrepresented on the
Donegal faculty, the school
will be asked to set up an
“affirmative action” pro-
gram to hire and promote
the under-represented
group.
If the district resists the
bers your child. I can vivid-
ly recall the announcement
by our school officials the a
‘““new’’ school would be
built and the three towns of
Mount Joy, Maytown, and
Marietta and outlying dis-
tricts would ‘‘consolidate’’
(a dreaded word to us) and
become one school. OH,
how we hated the idea!
OH, how we cried as the
Mount Joy High School
Class of 1954 walked down
those steps as the last class
to graduate from Mount
Joy High School. Some of
us decided to take out our
idea, they will find them-
selves involved in a court
battle against the state.
If the investigators de-
cide that there is no illegal
discrimination at Donegal,
no action will be taken.
It is perfectly legal to
discriminate against anyone
because of his personality
or inability to do the job. It
is illegal to give unequal
treatment to anyone be-
cause of race, sex, religion,
national origin, age or
handicap.

the building of our new

boxes of nails, upset

to slow down the building
of that new school. Pathetic
attempts compared to the
bomb throwers in the big

down progress and the new
school was officially called

thought it should be called
