[He jM e iH a H i In this issue N«w GaiMral Manogcr of WBSC Socialist Work ers Party By DOMINIC O'MALLEY Mark Zola is the Socialist Workers' candidate for governor in Pennsylvania. The Socialist Workers are endorsing three party candidates for governor. In a recent phone interview, Zola explained his position on higher education. He does not think that the present system of financial aid is adequateand suggestsit is heading towardseducation for the wealthy, in view of the recent cutbacks. He also said, "A government that servesbig business cannot possibly serve the educational needs of the working class." He believes that higher education should be free to all and stipends be given to students for going to school. Zola's stand on nuclear energy is totally negative and he offers no suggestions on what should be done with all the refined fuels we presently have. He believes that fossil fuels offer a short term solution to our energy needs until softer types of energy production are perfected (solar wind, tidal, geothermal). He stresses that mine safety and responsible drilling should be primary concerns over profit. He believes in production for human needs and not for profit and would not tax individuals but levy taxes against the corporations. If a corporation attempted to leave the state, the facilities would have to remain and be turned into a public works project. Zola also thinks that by cutting the federal defense budget many socially beneficial programs could be enacted. Defense spending to Zola is way out of proportion to the need. Zola is concerned with the student vote and the youth vote in general. He said that it is only a small part and that the working class youth needs to mobilize in a similar manner to the Polish solidarity. He concentrates his efforts in mobilizing and educating the working class of all ages. He wants to give young people and students the hope that he sees as absent in our present political system. Zola does not think that our problems can be solved in the presentsystem and that a radical change is necessary. Bob Warren Band Makes Good Music By PATRICK J. MURPHY The Bob Warren Band performed to a warm and receptive audience in the Presidents lounge Sunday night. The type of music that the band made pleased the crowd on hand. Warren, the leader of the band and main songwriter, described his music as a "snythesis of Jazz, Rock, and Folk." Dean Schermerhorn played bass and sang backup harmonies, Terry Butler played flute, and Tom Parker provided rhythm on drums and added vocal packing to round out the group's sound. Warren's songs were well received by those in attendance. "The Swimmer", and sung by Warren backed by Butler and Schermerhorn, created an air of mellowness. The ballad excame out of an perience that Warren had while he was sitting by the San Francisco Bay. "The Swimmer" gave the account of a middle-aged man who got up every morning and came down to the bay and swam out miles from the shore to please himself and get away from his own past and present. A thoughtful excerpt from "The Swimmer" was the "swimmer's account of his youthful days spent in New York City. The "swimmer" stated "Hemmingway was the only guy who knew what was goin' down, but when he suicided, man for me, that was all gone." Another of Warren's songs that brought positiveresponses fr om the audience was a whimsical tune called "Fred's Tavern". The setting of the story is in a side of.the road restaurant in Altoona Pa. Warren noted comically that "this is the only song we do abou t swattin' flies". The lyrics, "Hand me that fly swatter because this fly don't ( Continued on Poos 3} Theft - Hot Issue at BSC The current semester is only 4 weeks old and already the college and members of the student, faculty and staff bodies have experienced a rash of varying thefts on campus. These thefts exceed in number and dollar value any corresponding period of any previous semester. Most of these incidents have been supported by the victims of these thefts not utilizing proper safeguards, i.e., individual residence hall rooms being left unattended with doors open and unlocked, gymnasium lockers not being locked and personal valuables being left lay exposed and unattended. All of .this which is negligence on the part of the victim invites and encourages the thieves among us to take advantage of the opportunity presented them. Theft is a very serious criminal charge and, when found guilty and convicted of theft, that person has a lifetime criminal record maintained in the central repositories of both the State Police and the FBI. Quite possibly at a later time in life when applying for employment, particularly one of a sensitive position or one requiring a Security Clearance, this record will surface during that persons' BI, (Background Investigation), NAC, (National Agency Check), or CBI, (Complete B a c k g r o u n d Investigation ) , thus possibly denouncing that person's further considera tion for tha t particular employment. Theft, as recognized by most people and as defined by the Crimes Code of the Com- monwealth, means: one who unlawfully takes, or exercises unlawful control over moveable property of another with-intent to deprive him thereof. However, there are also several other forms of theft two of which are very prominent here at BSC. One, that of Retail Theft, which is defined as one who steals from any merchantile establishment, (this including the College Bookstore and Kehr College Union), and two, that of Receiving Stolen Property which means one who knowingly or who has probable belief that property has been stolen, receives, retains, and disposes of property of another with intent to deprive him thereof. (This form of theft has surfaced many times at BSC resulting in students selling stolen textbooks back to the Bookstore) . . Those who hove been caugvht and convicted.... admit It Isn't worth It. The consequence for convicted theft , (not including Retail Theft), is graded according to the dollar value as follows: When the amount involved exceeds $2000.00 for a felony, 3rd deg, a fine up to $15,000.00 and 7 years in prison. When the amount involved exceeds $200.00 for misde. 1st deg. a fine up to $10,000.00 and up to 5 years in prison. ' When the amount involved exceeds $50.00, but is less than $200.00 for misde., 2nd deg. a fine up to $5,000.00 and up to 2 years in prison When the amount involved is less than $50.00 for misde., 3rd deg. a fine up to $2,500.00 and up to 1 year in prison. The consequence for convicted RetailTheft is graded not only according to the dollar value but also according to the occurrence, as follows: First offense when value is less than $150.00 for summary the fine up to $300.00 and up to 90 days in prison. Second Offense when value is less than $150.00 for misde., 2nd deg. a fine up to $300.00 and up to 90 days in prison. First or second offense when value is $150.00 or mor.e for misde., 1st deg. with a fine up to $300.00 and up to 90 days in prison. Third or subsequent offense regardless of value for felony, 3rd deg., and a fine up to $300.00 and up to 90 days in prison. In all casesof convicted retail theft, regardless the occurrence, fingerprinting and photographing is required a record of which is maintained in the central repository of the State Police for the lifetime of the person convicted. Those who have been caught and convicted of theft will be quick to admit the consequence isn't worth it. In addition to satisfying criminal charges via the courts these persons have also been subjected to administrative action imposed by the college which could include suspension and - or expulsion. Also not to mention the embarrassment one must face among his peers and family. It would seem that those who may be toying with the idea would first recognize the price of individual pride, reputation and self esteem which far exceeds any dollar value of any act of theft. Thought for Today: There Is no such thing as a "self-made " man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word od encouragement to us, has entered Into the makeup of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.

They picked up the heavy equipment we bought from the Philadelphia Bulletin (with CGA funds, which came through to support our efforts at the crucial moment when we had to pay up or lose the purchase option) , found storage for it, and delivered it to BCH when we asked for it. Maintenance personnel also did carpentry and electrical work to adapt the room to our needs, and found and delivered typewriters, typewriter tables, and chairs. Without their help, no lab. Messrs. Charles Kocher, Bob Campbell, Don Hower, Fred Cleaver, Jim Brobst, Terry Lemon , Tom Harder , and several other men, whose names I don't know, each played an important part in making things come together despite tight deadlines.

At BSC, students are encouraged to be part of an inprogram tramural that provides spirited competition but does not neglect the purpose of having fun. Often times these simple objectives are taken for granted and a "win at all cost" attitude becomes an obsession. Teams are to be formed by friends gathered together on the field of sport to enjoy. The Gooneybirds , an intramural team often degraded by somewhat jealous peers, creates an atmosphere which defines the true meaning of athletic competition. Combined with their black ties and zany antics the birds should be a model to all of us. Sure, winning is rewarding, but aside from winning there is the "commerodory" and fun that should be existant throughout. Criticized for lacking athletic talent, the birds proved more than competitive by finishing seventh overall last year, with the acquisition of some highly talented new recruits they hope to better that mark this year. With a catchy name, fashionable uniforms, a great fan following, and a grade point average above 2.00, how can they miss? We should all take a page out of the Gooneybirds' book and try to enjoy ourselves more while they play. BUNGS BAR & GRILL BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed Two pieces of professional quality equipment- a waxer and a light table, came because the College-Wide Academic Equipment Committee and the administration approved our request to purchase them. (Mr. Jones listed them with items purchased from the Bulletin, but that was an error.)

I I I I Epidemic Hits BSC International News ~ - —' - - "w BRAZIL Last week, Joao Baptista Figueiredo, President of Brazil said the world was facing a depression the size of the 1930's. The reason for the depression he believesis the fault of major powers which are destroying wealth instead of creating it. Figueiredo called on organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to propose "emergency measures" to free world trade and lending. He urged lower interest rates and a halt to trade barriers. LEBANON French and Italian soldiers went into two Palestine refugee camps where, over a week ago, hundreds of Palestinians were killed by Lebanese Christian soldiers. The French and Italian soldiers along with US marines, took security duty positions in the Shatila and Sabra camps, on the outskirts of West Beirut. ITALY Former Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti said his government is afraid that a plot to start a revolution might be the reason behind former Prime Minister Aldo Moro's kidnapping in 1978. After being held for 55 days, Moro was slain. As a resultAndreotti, at the Moro murder trial, told the suspected Red Brigade that his government took a rigid line of no compromise. SOUTH KOREA Student demonstrations criticizing the governments of Japan, South Korea, and the United States were broken up by Riot policemen. Ten students were taken away. An hour and a half later groups of students started a sit down dtrike demanding the release of the ten students arrested earlier. The second protest was broken up later be approximately 150 policemen and 100 riot policemen. PAKISTAN Antistate activists received the death penalty for numerous activities. Capital punishment can be given to any offense liable to cause insecurity, fear or despondency among the public. This ruling is under the regulation which-went into effect in 1977 when Mohammas Zia ul Hag was the military ruler. Graduate Leads Weekend Retreat Cars and vans filled with over forty Bloomsburg State College students and friends converged on Camp Epacheseca last weekend, the home of a biannual retreat sponsored by the I n t e r - V a r s i t y C h r i s ti a n Fellowship (also known as Bloomsburg Christian Fellowship). Weekend activities included devouring home cooked meals, singing songs and sharing thoughts around a bonfire, participating in skits, a noisy rendition of reveille designed to startle some snoozing coeds out of their sleeping bags, and the highlight of the weekend, a quest. The quest, though holy, was not for the legendary Grail but for knowledge. It was led by Brian Clark , a 1982 . BSC graduate who is currently a seminarian at Princeton. Clark's expedition explored tha Bible and its revelations about sharing, unity, ways to transform the world as opposed to conforming to the world, and what it means to be a Christian. Brian stressed tha t God has given each person gifts. Students discovered that rather than striving for perfection or using lack of perfection as an excuse, each person should use the gifts he was given to share his faith, unity himself and the bodies he belongs to, and transform himself and the world. Further discoveries were made by students attending the retreat for the first time. "This retreat wasn't scary like I thought it would be", reflected one student. "I thought people would be shoving their ideas and doctrines down my throat," said another, "but, instead, I learned a lot about myself and had a good time in the process. " Students seeking information abou t next semester's retrea t and-or other activities sponsored by Inter-Varsity are welcome to attend meetings of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (Mon. , 8 p.m., Pres. Lounge ) or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (Thurs., 8 p.m., Pres. Lounge) or watch for posters arid articles about further activities. Elizabeth S. Maurer By SUSAN KROLL-SMITH BSC is now hosting a campuswide viral cold epidemic, and the turnout is huge. You guys are really sick!! In the health center, we frequently hear about people taking left-over penicillin or some other antibiotic for their symptoms, particularly for sore throats. Let me talk to you a minute about this pill-popping behavior. Antibiotics are a broad category of drugs which were designed to kill bacteria. Within this category, there are many different medications (penicillin is one such medication) , each with its own spectrum of effectiveness. That is to say, antibiotics are bacteria specific or, a given drug is effective in killing only certain bacteria. In other words, the medication in the medicine cabinet will not necessarily kill the bacteria which is causing the problem. Only a laboratory culture can determine the offender for sure. After receiving an antibiotic, it is essential to take it as directed to ensure positive results. Only when the medication reaches a critical Onl y take medicine as directed level in the bloodstream will it begin to kill bacteria. If too long a period of time lapses between doses, the blood level of the antibiotic drops, and the bacteria can begin to grow again. So, be as regular as possible when you dose up. Most likely a 5-10 day prescription will be given to ensure that the bacteria are sufficiently destroyed. You will feel better long before you finish the prescription, but please do not assume this is license to discontinue the antibiotics. There will still be bacteria which can grow rampant causing you to relapse into illness. In other words, there should not be any left-over antibiotics in the medicine cabinet to take for a later illness. Lastly, most people around here have a viral cold - head & nasal congestion, cough, slight fever, and typically a sore throat. Antibiotics will not touch a virus, only bacteria. If the sore throat is induced by a virus, it should improve within 24-48 hours ; however, if in doubt, come see us. f e ] j w f tf ^ 3or J SbekM 't f~ ^ r-*^ ' ^^ c. n0* Jbininy C-xp erience P.b. Unnecessary ingestion of antibiotics will only increase your resistance to them, therefore, they will be less effective when you really need them. ALSO: You will be a contributor to the development of "indestructible" strains of bacteria . African Course Offered This spring, the anthropology faculty will be offering 46.330, Peoples of Sussaharan Africa. This course will look at both traditional African society and modern Westernizing Africa. In-depth descriptive studies of selected African cultures will focus on language, religion, economics, politics, kinship and marriage. This material, combined with studies of the impact of colonialism on African societies, will be used to answer questions such as "Why are there so many military takeovers in Africa?", "Why do Black African countries have such a hard time getting along with each other?", and "How has South Africa, with its racist policies continued to survive?" Other topics to be covered include African prehistory, the spread of Islam in Black Africa , the impact of the slave trade, and the consequences of nationalization and modernization. Significant historical figures, from Livingstone to Shaka Zulu , will also be analyzed. Texts will include The Africans by Harold Schneider, New Women of Lusaka , by Ilsa M.G. Schuster, and the novel, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. The course will be offered MWF at 2:00 in Navy Hall 222 by Dave Minderhout.

Warren's band crossed many musical styles with their playing.

If you enjoy listening to the radio, then you should be aware of what one of your classmates is doing for you. His name is Tony Duran, and he is the general manager of WBSC 640 AM. Diran.is_ in charge of supplying the college radiolisteners with interesting and informative radio programs including news, weather, sports and, of course, lots and lots of their favorite tunes all on their very own station. It's not an easy job. "WBSC is good background experience," Duran said in a Union-held interview one afternoon. "Radio is one of the best places to go as far as the medias. I spend a lot of my free time up at the station making phone calls and getting things organized. " But the radio responsibilities don't occupy all of Duran's time. Off the air, he has been a devoted midfielder for three years in the lacrosse club, NCAA Division III. When he is off season in lacrosse, he plays intramural street hockey and Softball. Duran is also actively involved in Beta Sigma Delta, a social fraternity here on campus. He officially serves as Historian. When I asked Duran how he felt about the Mass Communications program here in general, he replied, "I think the program here is on the upswing. It's expanding." Optimistically, Duran continued, "New ..courses, new professors. Definite new opportunities what with the new Human Services building going up." After a moment he added, "I wish I could be a freshman again, or even a senior in high school just about to enter school here. The opportunities will be great in a few years.Especially in communications." As a senior communications major with a sequence in radio and T.V., Duran enjoys both mediums. But, he admitted that though he is puttinga lot of time in at the radio station, he would, "...really like to work in the television area eventually." Television is his goal. This made me wonder what Duran thought about the success ra te in the Communications area today. "Mobility," he said. "You have to be able to move around if you want to be successful.
