Heihz issues tax
credit bill to Senate

Hearings on the tuition tax credit bill introduced last month by
Senator John Heinz and 42 of his Senate colleagues have been
scheduled for January 12, 13 and 19 before the Senate Finance
Committee , Senator Heihz an nounced today.
v
The legislation , whose principal sponsors are Senators Robert
Packwood and Daniel Moyn ihan , was introduced September 26 and
would allow taxpayers to subt ract one-half of the tuition they pay,
up to a $500 maximum credit per student , directly from the income
taxes they owe' The credit would be available for tuition paid to
elementary and secondary schools, prep schools, colleges,
vocational or technical colleges, accredited business and trade
schools and graduat e schools. The credit is refun dable and will h elp
low income families whose taxes are less then theeredit.
The Treasury would refund the difference between the tax credit
and tax liability. However, Senator Heinz said the major impact of
the bill would be to the middle income taxpayer who is "too poor to
afford the cost of college, too well to do to qualify for federal
financial assistan ce."
In announcing the hearings, Senator Heinz said scheduling the
hearings is a "recognition by Congress that the way we finan ce our
education system is troubled and in need of re-examination. We are
faced with a middle-class poor, and good education may be
squeezed out of the budgets of a large segment of our population
unless we find a way to relieve the tuition burden," Heinz said.
Since introducing the bill last month , five more Senators have
cosponsored the Packwood-Moyn ihan bill. This makes a total of 48
Senators on the bill, 13 of whom are members of the tax-writing
Senate Finance Committee where the bill has been referred. A
companion- bill has also been introduced in the House of
Representatives by Representatives Bill Frenzel, Thomas F.
Railsback and Jam es A. Burke.

A letter writing workshop, a
new minority committee, and
the sta te-wide conference were
among the important fea tures
discussed at the fourth General
Meeting of the Commonwealth
Association of Students ( CAS).
The workshop, conducted by
Rich Salmon , stressed the
importance of sending letters to
legislators , especially concerning the lowering of the

Himes nominated to post

by CHRIS PRESTON
The Coordinating Committee
On Academic Affairs met
Tuesday in Navy Hall
Auditorium. The agenda included a very important
election — that of new chairperson.
Dr . Craig L. Himes was
nominated to the post and won
the nomination by a vote of
acclimation. The position was
formerly held by Dr. James D.
Bryden.
Among the resolutions endorsed at the last meeting by
the committee was the proposed
B.A. in Mass Communications.
Dana Creasy then welcomed
new members to the committee
and emphasized the importance
of CCAA. Creasy stated , "CCAA
touches on everyone , the im-

portance of this cannot be
played up. "
. CCAA serves in an advisory
capacity for the vice-president
of academic affa irs. Its function
is to regulate the academic life
of every student at BSC. CCAA
also has the authority to bring
about a change in a particular
curriculum policy.
The committee is composed
of sixteen members. Student
members of CCAA include three
representatives from CGA, two
members of the Representative
Assembly, and one graduate
student from the Graduate
Council.
Dr. John Mitchell , vicepresident of academic , affairs
was on hand to offer suggestions
to the committee for the coming

semester. Mitchell stated,
"development of curriculum
cri teria is basically in the hands
of the faculty." CCAA is the best
way for students to make their
views on academic policy
known. Mitchell added that he
hoped students realize how
important the committee is to
them and that student
representatives review
programs very carefully.
Dr. Bryden said in closing
that he felt that the proceeding
year had been a very successful
one for CCAA . He expressed his
hopes for continued success of
the committee with Dr. Himes
as chairperson. "CCAA can
only be as strong as its
representatives , " Bryden
stated.

drinking age to 19. Legislators
have not received many letters
for support of House Bill 252,
and the vote may not go as well
as first expected.
Salmon urged students to try
to accomplish something, and
used the workshop to show them
the right way to do it.
The various "do's and don'ts"
pointed out by Salmon included :
give views and opinions without
using profanity or threats, raise
a question so tha t you get a
response, and give a "thank
you" if it is deserved. .
The new minority committee,
under the leadership of Willard
Bradley , will tackle the issues
and problems of minority
students at BSC. Areas the
committee will be looking into
are discrimination in housing,
teaching, and any other areas
minority students feel need
exploration.
The announcement was then
made that the College CAS
Chapter would be attending a
state-wide conference at
Cheyney State College on Nov.
11, 12, and 13. A further report of
the activities at the conference
will be made at the next general
meeting.
The Campus Cash plan was
also discussed. The . implimen'tation date for the plan
has.been moved back to Dec. 5
to 9 in order that the effort be
coordinated more smoothly.
Jeff Hunsicker . CAS Coor-

dinator, said that prior to the
week of enactment , each
student in a residence hall will
be sent an envelope containing
their Campus Cash dollars. OffCampus residents and Commuters will also receive their
dollars by way of campus mail.
Vice-President Elyn Rysz
stressed the importance of the
plan and said, "We are already
feeling opposition from faculty
members, so we must show
them that it will work!"
Corey Waters, although he
could not be present at the
meeting, sent his thanks to the
members of CAS for all the help
they had given him in the past
election.
Students who did not join CAS
this first semester will be given
another opportunity to support
the student lobby group ,
reported President Nancy
Oliver, when the students are
billed for tuition next semester.
''The CAS checkoff will again be
appearing on the billing card.
We hope students will let their
parents know about the importance of CAS in relation to
their son 's or daughter 's
education, and will urge them to
send the one dollar a semester
membership fee ," stated
Oliver.
The next general meeting of CAS, which is open to all
students, will be held Nov. 30, in
the Blue Room of the Kehr
Union at 6:30 PM.

Have you ever asked "what are my chances of employment after
graduation?" The answer may be foun d at the Job Placement
Center on the third floor of Ben Franklin.
The center, run by Tom Davies contains booklets and articles on
career possibilities for students in every curriculum offered at
BSC.
In the latest completed placement report, 78 percent of the
Business Administration graduates received jobs in their field ;
while 93 percent graduates in the Business Education curriculum
¦
' . ¦,
were employed.
The science majors fared better than the businessmen in the job
market , Ninety percent of all graduat e nurses and 92 percent of the
trained Medical Technician s were h ired.
- Special , Elementary,.an d Secondary education majors all fell
into the 60 percent category . Secondary: 65 percent Elementary: 60
, ; ,. K
)
percent Special : 69 percent.
Graduates in Communication Disorders received the highest
placement percentage, 95 percent, while the Arts and Sciences
<>
students were lowest at 58 percent.
The College Placement Council report reveals gradual improvement in the placement of college graduates, but the overall
economic situation is obviously keeping the pace slow.
Buisness majors might like to keep checking the Endicot Report
from Northwestern University . Its most recent survey optimistically reveals that the 215 companies questioned expect to
hire 16 percent more bachelor - level graduates this year than they
employed in 1976.
Of course, with the job market changing eac h quarter the only
thing to do is keep grinding awa y and maybe knock on wood ,

Today's eyes

(M housing

by Ed Hauck

Housing conditions in town sometimes tend to hit rock bottom for
students; One example of the poor housing is the old DOC house located at 211 West Main Street owned by Dr. Stephen Beck, faculty
memberof BSC.
Early in October the house which he rented to students was condemned by Bud Albertson , BuildingInspector for the t©wn of Bloomsburg. The students then moved and are now residing in Danville.
According to Albertson, "The place was a shambles." He also commented that the floors were in poor condition and that the ceiling
leaked.
These students who had to live in these conditions and also had to
move are now in the process of pursuing a legal case against Beck. In
effect they are trying to sue Beck for their losses. CGA has approved
allocations to fund these students through the student lawyer in their
pursuit. This approval of allocations is contained within the minutes
of their meeting which must be approved by President McCormick.
The minutes to date have not yet been officially approved . Due to
the circumstances of this case, McCormick is awaiting confirmation
from the Attorney General in Harrisburg before he can approve this
allocation.
Since m the past students have been ripped-off by landlords this
is an ideal opportunity for students to speak up and get something
accomplished. Not only is Beck a landlord but he is also a faculty
member of BSC. Right now the important issue is that he is a landlord who violated the rights of those students to adequate housing.
Certainly we of the Campus Voice are in agreement with CGA that
the minutes containing this allocation must be approved so that
the students can pursue their case.
Just because Beck is a faculty member is no excuse for burning
this case away. It is high time that students have a chance to openly
declare war against landlords who neglect their job. In the future
maybe those landlords who deem students too stupid to complain
about their living conditions will open their eyes and repair their
housing facilities. College-town relations will never be up to par
if one of ''our own '' is violating the housing code in town.

While at Happy Valley,
commonly known as Penn
State, this past weekend, I
happened to pick up a copy of
their newspaper the Daily
Collegian. I had the express
purpose to check the big time
campus rag and compare it to
the little old C.V.
There are quite a few differences in the two journals.
Penn State- has the facilities of
the two wire services, AP and
UPI , the advertising is quite
extensive and the football team
is nationally ranked.
Do not fear though, there are
a few atrocities that happen to
be 'in common between the two
institutions that are pitiful.
Voter turnout was worse than
here so I guess we should feel
proud, or should we since PSU
has a larger 'cut of America .'
There was also a column in the
paper that had overtones of
cynism (remind you of
anyone? ) , and his main gripe
was that'Happy Valley' was not

so happy on the inside. Right
then and there it struck me that
BSC and PSU were not worlds
apart , as many people like to
think. .
The jist of the story found that
there seems to be a small
faction of students on campus
that are concerned about things
such as student rights, now I
know that must sound familiar.
The writer also found that
students on campus that were
not a part of this faction are
usually the majori ty tha t are
worried about whether or not
the football team gets a postseason bowl bid. I find it
relaxing that BSC doesn't have
to express so much energy in
this direction . The problem that
seems to be evident on this
campus is that most of that
energy is lost in between
swilling suds and grabbing
some ass.
I know most of the readers out
in Huskyville think I just spout

off every so often, but that's
only because I can see that
there is so much inaction and
loads of human energy being
funneled into oblivion.
When .we were kids many of
us came to realize world
situations around us during the
administration of John F.
Kennedy, We also saw that

we realized that new era of

He spoke to everyone. He spoke

and he spoke to college people
when he said this. All that was

radical, but needed. We now

involved with . Do not let the
college fall to its knees with a

Although its' been about a
month and a half since the
release of Billy Joel's latest
album, "The Stranger ", thus
not quite qualif ying it for the
new release category, I want to
review it anyway, because of
the way I feel about this particular artist. Billy Joel is one of
four musicians that I feel are
"mine". Let me try to explain
this further. He has had such an
influence on my attitudes as a
musician tha t I feel he and I
have something between us that
n(? one else has with him. I' m
sure this seems funny to you,
but look at it a little closer. At
one time in your life you've
probably had the experience of
identifying with someone so
well and on such a personal
level (be it an actor , musician,
athlete , or friend) that you'd
swear the two of you came out
of the exact same mold. Do you

understand what I mean now?
Well, this is the way I feel about
Bill Joel.
I respect this man so much,
not only for the music he brings
to me, but for the music he
brings out of me also. He is an
incredible inspirational source
for me, and studying the way he
writes his son gs gives me a
totally fresh and very exciting
focus on my own writing, and
it's funny because my songs
sound nothing like his. On the
contrary, I find that listening to
him only inspires me to drive
myself harder to produce my
own sound — music that is
unique because it is mine. And
he inspires me to respect the
music I write for what it is —

you in my cosmic rambhngs,
but I honestly felt it was
necessary.
As has been the case with
every one of Billy Joel' s
albums, this album is another
musical departure for him. The
light mood that was only hinted
at in his last album , "Turnstiles", has now fully blossomed
and permea tes "The Stranger ".
Gone are the cuttingly cynical
social statements like "Captain
Jack ," "Piano Man ," and
"Angry Young Man". They 've
been replaced by lighter and
more imaginative compositions
that are far less self-conscious ,
yet equally as effective.
Un this album , Mr. Joel deals
with common scenarios that are
played out in everyday life by
everyday people. His writing on
this album , lyricly speaking, is
very reminiscent of Bruce
Springsteen 's writing. (This
doesn't really come as a surprise, however. The two are
rumored to be close friends.)
Although he doesn't indulge in
the imagery that is the
hallmark of Springsteen's work,
the slices of life that he focuses
on are similar. Throughout the
review I will cite specific
examples of this similarity as
they come up.
The opening cut on the album
is called , ••Movin ' Out" , and
deals with what the title implies. After looking at the
middle class life and values,
Billy decides tha t it isn 't worth
the headaches and that it would
be better to leave and find a
better way; "Workin ' too hard
can give mo a heart attack , you
oughta know by now, who needs
a house in Hackensack? Is that
all you get for your money ?

CAS strikes back

Dear Editor :
CAS has recently been verbally attacked by a woman who
is a member of both CGA and
Young Democrats. She has
made various allegations about
our organization which we feel
are totally unfounded and
harmful to our organization. We
would like to utilize this space to
answer her and any others who
may feel this way.
This woman, whom we do not
wish to name so as not to cause
her any public embarrassment,
attacked CAS on these points :
1. That CAS does nothing
except work for NORML.
2. That CAS did nothing to get
people out to vote: i.e. that CAS
did not participate in calling
registered voters to come out
and vote.
In answer to this woman, as
President and Vice-President of
CAS, we would like to say that
she is not only wrong but also
uninformed about the functions
of CAS in general.
As for the attack stating that
the .only work CAS does is for
NORML; NORML is only a
committee of CAS, which
means that it is a side interest of
students. NORML has almost
an entirely different active
membership than CAS. The
only meeting of NORML ever
attended by CAS officers was
the introductory meeting. There
are much larger problems than
the decriminalization
of
marijuana that are tackled by
CAS.
What we have been working
on is: lobbying in Harrisburg
for additional supplements to
the state college budget thereby
offsetting another tuition increase; the Day of Student
Activism ; Voter Registration ;
Campus Cash; and publicity for
voting.
So CAS does nothing?
We disagree.
As for the second point: We
were not approached by the
Young Democrats until 4:00 PM
on Election . Day to help make
the aforementioned phone calls.
Is CAS supposed to read
minds?
What we would like to say is
that as individuals, we did
support Corey Waters and
worked within the time we had
from our other activitites to
help him get elected. CAS
cannot endorse any candidate
because of our tax status, but
we did help out in the ways we
could. If this was not enough for
this woman, then we do not
know what could have satisfied

Thinking of taking a sentimental journey through the
high and low corridors of BSC's
past?
If so, then let College Archivist James B. Watts be your
guide. Located in the basement
of JHartline Science Building,
Watts ' office is stacked with
historical memorabilia. The
office contains a barrage of
photographs , journals ,
documents and newspaper
clippings , mostly from the
Bloomsburg "Morning Press."
"The dilemma for myself as
an Archivist , is that I want
students to know the archival
records are available. At the
same time I want to do this
without having a small stampede coming over to look,"
Watts said.

Watts explained . However ,
Archive facilities are not

Similarly, Andruss Library
has only five years' worth of
scrapbooks containing local
news clippings of relevance to
the college community. A more
complete clipping file is found
in the Archives, starting in May
1924, continuing until 1972.

Confusion allevia ted

by STEVE YANGHESK1
A committee of CGA will
attempt to alleviate the confusion which prevails each
semester with the purchasing of
used books. In the past, the
Kehr Union bulletin boards
have been layered with individual book sale requests. The
resulting pandemonium has
been a frustrating experience.
Also, some students who rely on
used books went without them ;
because the line was too long, or
the book was sold and the advertisement was not removed
from the bulletin boa rd .
Since November 8 in the Kehr
Union , a special bulletin board
has been set up for used book
sales ( ending Nov. 29). On this

board will be individual
displays for the schools of
Education, Business, and Arts
and Sciences. Each student who
will be selling or requesting a
used book will be asked to
submit an index card with all
the requested book information.
Prior to the removal of this
display if anyone would like to
look through these index cards
and purchase a used book , feel
free to do so. An attempt will be
made to catalogue, left-over
cards and to make a final
transaction before the semester
ends. The purpose is to bring the
buyer and seller together before
the spring semester begins
which should make life a little
easier for us all.

What do you think of the proposed dorm
realignment? Do you prefer a certain plan?

Stephen J. Zajac - Soph. Fine
if the housing situation is such
that the guys m»ust move from
Elwell to smaller dorms to
make room for the girls, that's
fine with me.

Paul Janssen - R.A. Senior
The proposed dorm realignment is a good idea . A lot of
girls may not like the idea of
living in Elwell, however, the
college is going to spend
$100,000 to refurnish Elwell. I
prefer the second plan with
three coed dorms, two male
dorms, and two female dorms.
Guys will finally get a chance at
living in a building other than
Elwell.

Ronald Brown - Soph. If you
look at the population of male to
female you can understand the
need for room space for the
female. I never lived in Elwell
but the physical condition of
Elwell might not be what the
female wants.

Tun Ulshafer - FR. I think it is
a good idea . Some girls won't
like Elwell , but I'm moving out
into some better dorm. .

Math lab
offers help

by DEB KIRCIIDOERFEK
Having trouble in Math? Stop
by the "Math Lab" , room 22, in
Hartline 's Basement. The
"Lab" offers individual attention to all students having
problems concerning any phase
of math.
The program was first instituted on a trial basis during
the summer session of '77.
Because of its popularity and
usefulness, it has been continued into this semester and
will be available next semester,
too.
Dr. Jesse Bryan , Director * of
the Center for Academic
Development (C.A.D. ) created
the Math Lab. Hopefully, it is
one of a series of programs, that
Dr. Bryan feels could benefit all
the BSC students.
Coordinator of the program is
Mrs , Julie Abell. She has
studied Mathematics at the
State Univers ity of New York at
Albany and St. Lawrence
Univers i ty, and has done additional graduate work at
Mankato State College in
Minnesota , She has previously
taught in Minnesota and in
Bloomsburg public schools.
The Math Lab is open Monday
and Friday tt: 50-11.: HO, Tuesday

Joe DeMelfi - Asst. Dean of
Student Life The realignment
would give males on campus the
opportunity to reside in the
smaller halls , something that
they have never had. Also I
believe realignment at this time
would be good for the campus
and its residents.

Marsha Williams - Fit. I don't
feel it is right for us to get
Elwell. But I do feel that the
guys should be able to move and
have their right to pick a dorm .

'Linda Wright-Fit. It's a good
idea to have more coed dorms
and it will give more selection of
dorms. I don 't really like the
idea of living in Elwell , but with
a little adjustment I suppose I
could get used to it.
Nea CnrlHon-KA Soph. I think
the realignment is an excellent
idea , as it would give everyone
more of a selection of the type of
dorm Ihey could live in.

If you're tired of spending hug e amounts of money for a few bags
of groceries and want to stretch your food dollars, you may want to
look into the Federal Food Stamp program .
All you have to do is apply in person at the local Board of
Assistance building located at 27 East 7th Street across from the
High School football field.
To determine if you are eligible for the stamps you will need
personal identification, your latest pay stubs, rent receipts, income
of your fellow housemates, and an ything else that would h elp
reveal your present financial status.
If you qualify you will be issued an identifi cation and
authorization card which must be presented each time you purchase stamps. The card contains the amount of stamps you can
receive and your cash situation in the program.
Food Stamps are accepted at nearly every local food store in the
area . The recipient must however buy stamps regularly making at
least one purchase every three months.
If your minds are busily working out -a way to beat the system ,
don 't. Strict fines and imprisonment or bo th could result from
giving fraudulent information to the caseworkers, or selling
stamps.
With food costs rising at the rate they have been, it may not be
such a bad idea to take full ad.vantage.of the Federal Food Stamp
Program .

covered because they may be
held responsible for anything
that happens in the classroom
while they are present.
The Pennsylvania State
Education Association (PSEA)
offers a rather inexpensive plan
for students interested in a
liability insurance policy.
In order to obtain the insurance , you must become a
member of PSEA. The cost is
$10.50 per year for membership.
Included with this amount is a
$500,000 liability policy, and a
subscription to these three
publications : The National

have portraits taken by an
outside studio should submit a 2
x 3 glossy to the Obiter Office
with ful l name and major by
Mar'ch 31.
The 1978 Obiter will include
December 1977, May, Aug ust ,
and December 1978 graduates.
The inclusion of December 1978
tfrads is a change from previous
policy whereby they would have

appeared in the 1979 yearbook.
Those students concerned
shoul d note that they , should
schedul e Senior pictures to be
take n at the Februar y sitting. If
however , any prospective
December graduate would
prefer to appear in the 1979
Obiter , this can be arran ged by
contacting our office.
The yearbook itself is another
area of confusion to many
students. The Obiter is funded
by CGA and all graduating
Seniors who have pai d their
Community Activities fees will
receive a yearbook in the fall of
1978 at no cost. December 1978
grads will receive a book after
graduat ion. Because yearbooks
are mailed , please notify the
Obiter Office of any changes in
the home address.

Cadallac, you oughta know by
now, he can 't drive with a
broken back , at least he can
polish the fenders — it seems
such a waste of time, if that's
movin ' up then I' m movin ' out."
The music is interesting, as it is
throughout the entire album. On
many cuts, Billy's piano is
barely audible, however. It
seems that he is relying on the
strength of his writing and
arrangements more than ever;
A humorous touch is added to
ihe song in the last few seconds,
When a motorcycle is heard
Starting up and • roaring off ,
Signifying
the songster 's
departure from the grind.
" The title track.
"The
Stranger ", follows. It, too, is an
unusual tune. It begins with a
jazzy, mysterious feel, and
someone is heard whistling
along off in the distance. The
overall effect conjures up an
image of a shadowy figure,
illuminated by a streetlight ,
wearing
trench
coat with a hat pulled down
low, detective-like, walking the
rain-slicked streets-of a cool,
foggy Manhattan , in the wee
hours of the morning. But this
mysterious atmosphere is
quickly shattered by the tight,
guitar dominated rock-and-roll
that is the songs mainstay.
The lyrics quickly put the
scene in perspective; "Well we
all have a face that we hide
away forever, and we take them
out and show ourselves when
everyone has gone — Though
we share so many secrets there
are some we never tell- did you
ever let your lover see the
stranger in yourself? " The
rock-and-roll then fades out,
and a repea t of the opening
theme creeps back in, . The
shadowy figure, The Stranger ,
emerges again , and walks off
into the night; but just before he
disappears into the shadows,
you could swear that he turns
and glances over his shoulder ,
and his dark eyes look directly
into yours. It' s a really grea t
song, and it' s very artfully
done.
i A mellow love ballad comes
next, and it's called "Just the
Way You Arc ", It's a pretty
song with a sof t jazz feeling and
some very nice acoustic rhythm
guitar work by HuRh McCiacSketf' and Steve Bttfgh,\ A

nice sax solo by Phil Woods
adds a special touch to a calm ,
well performed tune. Billy sings
the song with heartfelt sensitivity and sincere frankness.
He doesn't play games. He says
what he feels, period.
"Scenes From An Italian
real
Restaurant"
is . a
masterpiece, and closes the
firs t side. It is here tha t I can
cite the first similarity of
con tent between Billy 's writing
and Springsteen's. The song
deals with the intense move
from adolescence to adulthood,
and the fact that no matter how
desperatly you may wish to
return, you can never go back .
He speaks of how great those
days felt to him; "I remember
those days hangin ' out at the
village green, engineer boots;
leather j ackets and tight
bluejeans. ...cold beer , hot
lights, my sweet romantic
teenage nights....riding around
with the car top down and the
radio on....nobody looked any
finer , or was more of a hit at the
Parkway Diner ". This is a
common theme with Spirngsteen, illustrated in songs like
"Born to Run ", "Growin Up",
"4th of July, Asbury Park ", and
"Backstreets". The music or
theiyrics could be the high point
of the song, depending only on
which you care to focus on. The
song is both driving and sensitive, and is pulled off in
masterful style.
Side Two opens with
"Vienna ", an easy, rolling tune.
Billy is telling someone
( probably himself) to calm
down, move slower and take life
a little easier. It gets side two

off to a melodic start . Billy 's
piano provides a flowing backdrop for the lyrics to paint their
images on.
"Only the Good Die Young ",
an energetic, bouncy rocker, is
a
second
example
of
Springsteen influence. . This
deals with the familiar theme of
the wild teenage boy in love
with the straightlaced, proper
teenage girl, who's parents
disapprove of him, he is trying
to convince her to come with
him anyway. This theme is an
exact duplicate of Springsteen's
( Come
"Rosalita
Out
Tonight) ". Even the lyrics are
similar; "Come out Virginia ,
don't let me wait, you Catholic
girls start much to late..They
say there's a heaven for those
who wait, some say it's better
but I say it ain 't, I'd rather
laught with the sinners tha n cry
with the saints..the sinners are
much more fun ". It's a fun
song, and comes across with a
bang.
"She 's Always a Woman " is
yet another Springsteen-like
song. Billy is talking about a
paraodx
that
every
(heterosexual)
male
ex :
periences in his dealings with
women ; you can't live with
them, but you can't live without
them either. They'll love you
one d,ay and hate you the next,
yet everytime you 'll come
crawling back for more. This
theme is highly reminiscent of
Springsteen's "She's the One".
Again the lyrics show us the
similarity ; "She will promise
you more than the garden of
Eden, then carelessly cut you
and laueh
while vou 're

SMILE, YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA...Robert Duval , of

Billy Joel seems lighter than befo re
bleeding, but she'll bring out the
best and the worst you can be,
blame it all on yourself , but
she's still a woman to me". The
music is a sensitive mixture of
acoustic guitar and piano.
Richie Canata 's serene flute
rides like a soft breeze behind
the piano-guitar duet. It' s a
stunningly beautiful song.
"Get it Right the First Time",
a rocking, jazzy tune, follows
and is concerned with Billy 's
apprehensive excitement about,
making his move on a woman
that he wants to make it with.
Liberty DeVito ; Billy 's incredibly dynamic drummer ,
really shines on this track , and
his tight drumming dri ves the
song to a high fevered pitch.
The album closes with
"Everybody Has a Dream ",

another mellow tune , that
further reminds us that Billy
has dropped the sarcasm and
cynicism of his elirlier work , for
a more honest, less defensive,
and highly personal style of
writing. The music has an
almost gospel like quality to it,
exemplified in the one note
organ lines that weave in and
out of the song, and the backing
female chorus (sporting the
likes of Phoebe Show, Lani
Goves, Gwen Guthrie and
Pattie Austin) that joins in on
the refrain. It' s a soulful way to
end a really grea t album. But
we quickly find tha t the album
is not quite over when "The
Stranger" theme creeps in once
again for a few moments,
hauntingly reminding us that
the Stranger is everywhere; in
Billy Joel, and in ourselves.

was named the tea m 's most
outstanding wrestler. Sharp
only participated in a portion of
the season last year , earning a
14 (5-1 record while finishing
third in the EWL and fourth in
the PC.
Scheib,
Junior
Sieve
Klingcrstown . ( 190 ) , who was
redshirted last season , returns
to pick up from his outstanding
177 lb. performances of two
yea rs ago when he placed firs t
in the PC and second in the
EWL. Scheib was a district,
regional , and state champion in
1974 for Tri-Valley High School.
At that time he also placed third
in the junior national freestyle
tournament and sixth in the
junior national Greco-Roman
tournament.
Bucky MeCollum , Simhurv,
(150-1 58 ) , a runner-up in EWL
at 142 lbs., has a dual mark of
29-10 (8 pins) which resul ted in
his being named the team 's
outstanding freshman. Two
other sophomores available are
Joe Dougherty, Old Bridge , NJ ,
(118-126) , who had a 12-9 dual
record , was sixth in the PC, and
fourth in the EWL; and Dan
Lechner , Hellertown , ( 158) , who
had a 20-10 overall record.
. 'Although one of our key
performers, heavyweight Tino
DiMarco , is redshirting this
year , we may have the best
depth and talent since I came
here." indicates Sanders. "I
think we had one of our best
recruiting years. At times
during the season we will
potentially have a line-up that
could include seven or eight
wrestlers who have previously
qualified for the NCAA Division
1 Championships. However, we
are still a comparatively young
team and we will have to wait to
see how things go."
Sanders was a three-time
Middle A t l a n t i c university
division champion and a NCAA
college division champion while
attending West Chester State.
Voted to that institution 's Hall
of Fame, he never lost a dual
meet in his four yea rs of
collegiate wrestling.
His
full-time
wrestling
assistants are Calvin Walker ,
Floy d "Shorty " Hitchcock , and
Robert Rohm. Hitchcock is
BSC's most illustrious wrestling
alumnus. He was a NCAA
Division I and II champion in
1974 and was . named outstanding wrestler in both
t o u r n a m e n t s . Hitchcock is
currently working on his
master's degree in elementary
education at BSC.
The hom e opener of the
season for Bloomsburg will be
on December :i when the
Huskies host the first annual
BSC Invitational tournament.
Seven visiting teams for tha t
event include the universities of
Tennessee, Duke , Virginia , and
Bucknell , and Morgan State ,
