BASD welcomes new superintendent Dr. Stanley A. Schainker assumed the top position of Superintendent of Schools in the Bethlehem Area School District in August of this school year. A native of Universi- ty City, Missouri, Dr. Schainker attended Princeton Uni- versity where he majored in political science and minored in psychology. He received his master's degree and doc- torate at Harvard. Before arriving in Bethlehem, he held the title of Assistant Superintendent for Instruction in Yonkers, When asked why he left Yonkers, Dr. Schainker stated that he wanted to have the challenge ofbeing The num- ber one guy in the organization. He was very much interested in the size ofthe Bethlehem system. He felt it was not too small to keep things from being done, and not so large as to be impersonal. He also was very curious about some of the new concepts and educational plan- ning in the Bethlehem schools. Dr. Schainker brought with him an associate, Dr. Ed- ward Vollbrecht, much to the skepticism of many area residents. But Dr. Schainker felt that having someone who had worked with him and knew his style would make his adjustment easier. Dr. Schainker has many new ideas and thoughts, and he is very open-minded and flexible. He has a very optimistic outlook regarding how he will handle his administration and how he will be received in this area. Considering these two qualities, Dr. Schainker seems to be a man who will attain his professional goals. I : K- . Dr. Schainker discusses new policies effective this year. With obvious pleasure, Dr. Schainkcr listens to comments at a Student Advisory Committee meeting. + I

fn if fs 'jf' ' V iff' sf Empty counters tell the tale of the strike. Long walkout stops cafeteria service Strikes in school districts are usually associated with teachers, but on April 10, 1975, it was the cafeteria work- ers ofthe Bethlehem Area School District who walked off the job. The issues were somewhat complex and both sides were rather adamant in their refusal to do much compromising. The summer months went by, but no set- tlement was reached. When the new school year began, the cafeteria shelves remained distressingly unfilled. Naturally students were urged to bring their own lunches, but the more adventuresome - and there were many - decided that a quick trip home or one to Student volunteers distribute milk to brownbaggers. Faces usually seen at the counter appear behind picket signs, McDonalds or Burger King was better by far than the contents of a brown bag. Late in September, accord was finally reached and the workers returned to the kitchens and students and faculty to the cafeteria. Pat Ford lets McDonalds do it all for him.
