I In This Issue: Ft. Lauderdale page 4 I I | Reagan Must Go Students Oppose President's Policies By TAMMY CLEWELL In the past three year's the financial aid programs available to students have been cut by 1.5 billion dollars. This , represents a 32 per cent decrease from 1980 to the present. The cuts, coupled with the sad shape, of the economy, are making it difficult and in some cases impossible for students to meet the financial, requirements of an education. Currently the United States Congress , faced with the Reagan administrations proposal to further cut the aid program, must decide whether to support or oppose it. Over spring break a group of BSC students traveled to the nation 's capital to meet with congress members in order to express opposition to the president's plan. Student representatives from across the country participated in the event sponsored by the Students United States Association (USSA ) . The Commonwealth Association of Students' (CAS) coordinator , Michele Kessler , organized BSC's participation in Student Action Day on March 7. A two-day conference to educate students on the implications of the cuts, along with information concerning the Solomon Amendment, which would link financial aid to draft registration , preceded the lobbying and rally which took place. Various speakers addressed the conference. Ralph Nader , consumer advocate, attacked the administration's economic policy, perserving the status of the rich at the expense of the poor. Lynn Cutler , vice chairperson for the Democratic Party, outlined the platform which commits itself to education , peace , strong defense exclusive of nuclear armaments , equality and a clean environment. Senator Gary Hart of Colorado and Senator Fritz Hollings , both seeking the democratic presidential nomination , addressed students the last night of the conference. Representing BSC ~ were Kim Anderson, Deb Berkley Vickie Cilurso, Tammy Clewellj Lisa Hackett, Doug Heller, STUDENTS form a human billboard on the steps of the nations Capitol to pro test financial aid cuts. (Continued on Page 4) Four Year Provisions End Alcohol Policy Slides By By SHARON DEEGAN After four years of revision and rejection , the Alcohol Policy passed by a 32-19 vote (with one abstention) at the The Chairman of the political science dept. voted against the policy, believing that punishments for violations vary ing in degree should specifically relate to the state criminal code. SIGNS voiced the angry views of students gathered at Washington for Student Action Day. Michele Kessler, Carol Lutter, Karen Narolewski , Sally Marozzo, and Pam Shupp. The grou p met with Congressmembers Peter H. Kostmeyer , Bucks and Montgomery Counties , Lawrence Coughlin , Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties , and congressional aids for Frank Harrison and Bill Goodling to express opposition to federal financial aid cuts and repeal of the Solomon Amendment. Following the lobbying sessions, BSC students participated in a rally on the : capital steps. About 3,0000 students from colleges across the country attended, according to Capital security officials. Meg Jenkins, vice president of USSA, which organized the event, said, "We students are the scapegoa t of this administration and we resent March 2 Representative Assembly TRA) meeting. The vote came shortly after the issue came close to returning to the Executive Committee for further revision. In other action, a.credit by examination policy for Registered Nurses (excepting the courses Nursing I and Nursing Trends and Issues ) was passed by the body and will be directed to Dr. Jones, vicepresident for academic affairs, for final approval. Also, the Coordinating Committee on Academic Affairs (CCAA) announced the formation of four subcommittees to examine the testing process ( for admission of students) , general education, minors, majors and concentrations, and college policy. Those still opposing the Alcohol Policy questioned the clarity of the document. More specifically, whether it was clear exactly what was being punished and how offenses varying in severity would be treated. Dr. Robert Rosholt, chairman of the political science dept., voted against the policy , believing that punishments for violations varying in degree should specifically relate to the state criminal code. Students could plead their case, proving it to be a minor or major violation by referring to the code, Rosholt said. RA Vice-chair Michele Kessler, who voted no, said, "it passed because everyone was tired of it — not because it reached a stage of perfection." Supporting the ratification, CCAA chairman Dr. Larry Mack , was pleased that the "body had cleaned up some of the unnecessary preambles," and added that the policy is already, "generally recognized as what is in place now." Campbell , Mr. Robert chairman of the Coordinating Committee on Student Life (CCSL) , was also pleased with the vote, since it relieves his committee from an arduous four-year revising process. "This will allow us to deal with (other) issues more effectively, " he said. Those issues, will . include a new student harrassment policy, student image on campus, and health and related concerns. In other matters, the CCAA also formed an instructional Computer Planning Group, renewing the function of the defunct Computer Users Group. The new group will serve as official line of communication between the computer center and the committee. Dr. Patricia Boyne, Collegewide Committee on Administration chairman (CCA ) announced the disbandment of the College-wide Budget Committee.

The Gun Policy (concerning campus security) will be discussed at CCA's next meeting, dealing with the general "usage and carrying of weapons," she said. Also, Dr. Leo Barrile, chair of the RA, informed the body that an Athletic Study Group met and decided upon a format and charge for the proposed Campus-wide committee on Athletics, Sports, and Recreation. Their findings will be recommended to the (Continued on Poo* 5) Editorial Lobby Efforts in Washington While BSC's hot basketball team was busy defeating Cheyney State 's tough basketball team over break, ten BSC students, representing the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS) and the Community Government Association (CGA ) , were busy lobbying along side Cheyney students on Na tiona l Student Action Day in Washington, D.C. What is lobbying, you ask? Good question. Lobbying is the attempt by a group of individuals to try and get legislators to support certain measures — in this case, those programs in support of higher education. Over 3,000 students from across the nation made their opinions known to congresspersons. "We want you to support the proposed repeal of the Solomon Amendment," students said. The controversial Solomon Amendment requires male students applying for student financial aid to register for the draft and present certificaiton that they are registered to receive the aid. Students lobbied against this amendment, not because they are against draft registration, but because they are against the violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution by assuming guilt until innocence is proven. A very positive note to inject here is that last week, shortly after Student Action Day, U.S. District Judge Donald D. Alsop issued a preliminary injuction, barring the government from enforcing a law that would deny education loans to students who have not registered for the draft. One of the parties to the suit said it would ask Aslop to set a date for a hearing at which it would seek to have the injuction made permanent. "We want you to reject President Reagan 's 'self-help ' proposal," students also told legislators. This proposal would require students to pay at least 40 percent of their educational costs before they could qualify for a federa l grant. At the same time, the Reagan Administration and Congress have proposed creation of a. subminimum wage. Requiring an increase in individual funding for education and a decrease in earning potential at the same time is inconsistent to say the very least. After a successful day of lobbying, students and dozens of speakers gathered at the west steps of the Capitol to conclude National Student Action Day. They came wearing buttons which read, "Student Aid Fuels the Future" arid carrying signs, "Repeal Solomon " and ' Money For Books Not Bombs ". They also chanted, "No dough, Reagan 's Got to Go". Lobbying proved to be an educational experience for ten BSC students, and it also proved that students across the nation, no matter how much distance separates them, are unified to stop cuts to higher education. One single National Student Action Day may be swept under the carpet by the administration, but continued student lobbying will be a constant, painful reminder to lawmakers and lawbreakers that education is a priority for a majority of the population.

Citizens from Bloomsburg, Berwick and Danville vehemently spoke out against the increase and the devastating effects that would result. T^v were enranged not just for monetary reasons but for the principle and ethics behind this decision. The bogus reason the PP&L is nailing us with this increase is to pay for their Susquehanna nuclear plant, alias "the Bell Bend Blunder " located in Berwick. Because of PP&L's mismanagement, the people of this area not only must live by this "nuclear lemon", but also are being forced to pay for it regardless of the fact that the plant is not necessary and, therefore, much of the power will be sent elsewhere to people who are not forced to pay for the plant or live by it. Since PP&L made the mistake predicting its future needs they are going to punish the public - not themselves or their stockholders who are still receiving very adequate dividends. Keep in mind we cannot change electric companies because PP&L has a monopoly on the market. Since we are not free to choose our electric services, its the PUC's responsibility to ensure that the public is protected against unfair business practices such as PP&L's attempt to raise its rate, protecting its profits. This hike is a problem for the BSC community faculty, administrators, and especially students. Currently, $600,000 a year is spent on the college electric bill, with the proposed increase an additional $100,000 will be needed to pay the bill. Where will that $100,000 come from? Certainly, not from the state, but from the quality of our education. Money that would normally be spent on library books, computers, lab equipment or faculty salaries will have to be rechanneled to pay for a nuke plant instead. This is absurd. Also, off-campus students , will be forced to pay higher monthly bills and those who don't pay their utilities will surely have their rent raised more over the already ridiculous high prices. With tuition costs rising and financial aid decreasing - where are we expected to come up with more cash? Students already are biting the bullet and keeping the thermostat on near-freeze cause they can 't afford it. How many students will be able to finance this extra burden? This story is not over - the public is fired up and are voicing their discontent. The PUC will make its decision in August whether or not to give PP&L its big bucks with the public as innocent victims. We must let the PUC know that we oppose this outrage. (Editors Note: the address for PUC is Public Utilities Commission, Box 3265, Harrisburg PA 17120.) Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Official School Name Announced By LINDA LOWRY At the last College Council meeting Monday evening, CGA announced the official title for the college. Paul Stockier , President, said that the State College will be know n as "Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania." In a poll recently taken, 420 out of 450 BSC students showed that they preferred "Bloomsburg State University " to Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania." "However," Stockier commented, "A lot of politics had gone into making the name 'BUP' and legislators became upset when the 'BSU' proposal came up. Also announced at the meeting was CGA's official opposition to campus security being armed with firearms in a proposal made by Vice President Vicki Cilurso. CGA passed a motion to take one dollar off the price of student tickets for Saturday night's basketball game. This is only good for tickets purchased this past Wednesday between one and four p.m. Commonwealth Association of Students ( CAS) Coordinator Michele Kessler expressed her gratitude to CGA for supporting her and others in a trip to Washington D.C. for the purpose of lobbying against federal aid cuts, Solomon Amendment and the sub minimum wage proposal. Vicki Cilurso, a member of the lobbying group said, "I learned a lot about lobbying and urge people to go to Harrisburg for the experience." A group is planning to go to Harrisburg on April 5 to lobby against a tuition hike for next year. Anyone interested should contact Michele Kessler in the CAS office.

Five people (who chose to remain anonymous) from B.S.C. rented a car for a week when they heard that a sixth friend's brother had offered his house in Clearwater to be at the mercy of vacationing college students. No real college student ever passes up a "free offer ", so this motly crew began making arrangements. After examining the pros and cons of driving a 12 year old Nova with 86,000 miles on it, they decided to rent a car for the excursion. One member found that for only 80 dollars a passenger, they could rent a mid-size car with enough gas to get them to Florida and back again, as well as anywhere they wished to drive once they arrived in Clearwater. The decision was then made. After all, this was going to be a low budget trip to begin with. By driving to Florida the expense of flying was eliminated , as well as accommodations at a hotel on the trip. pay 0 0 - tj ( r v v f j V V V V V V V VW V V W I DANCE the « ¦ l Night Away c » i LEMONS I I', EVERY TAVERN i. ¦/ < *fc I » , I : THURSDAY & vV -X I J(' SATURDAY | ^ J NIGHT TO IV ;' « THE MUSIC IJ — ' < If OF \ Professional ^ .

The reigning AIAW, Division III National champions began by knocking off Winthrop (SC) , 3-1. Winthrop was seeded third in last year 's Division II national tournament. The Huskies jumped to an early lead as they scored in the top of the first inning. Both Karen Hertzler and Deb Long drew walks. Anne Schmidt singled to load the bases for Jean Millen who drove a long fly ball to left to score Hertzler. The winning run came in the sixth inning when Kathy Behan doubled to score Millen. Deb Long added an incurance run with a double down the left field line, scoring Hertzler. Suave Tina Souders picked up her first win as she gave up three hits, struck out eight and walked one. Bloomsburg raised its record to 3-0 as the team swept a double-header from Furman (SC). The Huskies crunched their opponent as they pounded 11 hits in the 10-1 win. Souders recorded her second victory as Men's Swimming sne struck out nine without giving up a hit in five innings. Catcher Denise Henderson was the big bat as she belted a three run homerum in the third. A five run fourth capped the Huskies scoring. The second game of the doubleheader found the bats still sizzling as the Huskies banged out 13 hits on the way to a 14-1 victory. Deb Schneiderha n drove in two runs, going 3-4. Long went 2-3 and powered in two RBI's. Hertzler and Hassenplug each knocked in two more runs. Freshman Chris Moyer recorded her first victory while holding Furman hitless in three innings. Schmidt came in in the fourth and contained the opponents on two hits. The high point - of the week came when the Huskies faced Division I powerhouse University of South Carolina. Bloomsburg came away with a convincing 3-0 victory. Souders held their big guns to only four hits while striking out three. Bloomsburg nailed Ithaca (NY) for their fifth victory, 6-1, in the first game of a double header. BSC had a three run third inning as Schmidt was hit by a pitch, Henderson singled, and Millen drove in Schmidt with a shot to left. Kathy Berry knocked in Henderson and Sue Hick drove in Millen with back to back singles. The Huskies suffered their first loss in the second game of the doubleheader, lossing 3-2 in 11 innings. Both runs came in the sixth inning after Henderson and Millen singled. Henderson scored on a fielders choice and Millen came in on a Bomber error. The Husky defense held Ithaca scoreless until the bottom of the seyenth when they knocked in two runs on a triple and a sacrifice. Twice the Bombers were forced to leave players in scoring position in the extra innings. But a single up the middle scored the winning run. BSC ended up 6-1 with a 2-0 win over the strong Div. I power, Penn State. The final game was highlighted by the awesome pitching of Tina Souders. With a perfect game going into the seventh inning, she surrendered only one hit — a bunt single by Christie Phillips. She struck out 13 batters to raise her total to 44 in . BSC has its 34 innings. home opener on Monday, March 28 against Susquehanna . Clarion Wins 13th Straight Title ByART CARUCCI Sometimes your best effort just isn't enough to get the job done. That's probably what the members of the BSC men's swim team were mumbling to themselves as they returned from the Pennsylvania Conference Championships held at Clarion from March 3-5. Despite recording 24 new personal best times, the Huskiesmust have felt they were still at the starting blocks when they checked the final standings and found themselves finishing 8th out of the 9 teams competing. Clarion, which holds a monopoly on the state championships in both men's and women's swimming, won the title for a remarkable 13th consecutive year with a total of 483 points. They were followed in successive order by Shippensburg (319 points) , Edinboro (223) , Slippery Rock (191%) , Kutztbwn (168) , I.U.P. (148), West Chester (115) , BLOOMSBURG (93V2 ) , and East Stroudsburg (80). The Eagles did haved a difficult time pulling away from Shippensburg, but in the end their overall talent and depth proved to be the an ference in the tournament. For the Huskies, however, it proved to be a case of effort , but not enough talent. "For the most part I was satisfied with our performance," stated coach Eli McLaughlin, "but it was just a case of us being outmatched by some of the top teams". Some of the frustration the Huskies would encounter began on the first day when sophomore Dave Henwood started the show in the 500-yard Freestyle with a personal best of 4:59.97. The only problem with the time, though, was that 19 other swimmers had better ones, which left henwood with nothing more than a 20th-place finish. Senior captain Phil Spampinato got the Huskies first points when he placed 9th overall in the 200-yard Individual Medley with a personal best time of 2:04.56 (In order for a team to score points in states, the swimmer must finish in the top 12 of an event) . Spampinato was followed by three other BSC swimmers who all recorded personal bests in the 2001.M., but the highest any of them could finish was 25th. Ken Chaney followed next with a lOth-place finish in the 50-yard Freestyle, recording a time . of 22.18. In the 400-yard Medley Relay, the teaiiil of Phil Christian, Matt Thrah, Phil Spampinato' and Brian Quibell qualified for the finals , aihcf 1 then McLaughlin replaced Christian, who was suffering from a chest cold, with Henwood. The makeshift team concluded the day placing 6th in the finals. Spampinato kept the "personal best streak" going the next day when he placed 9th in the 400 I.M. in 4:29.68. The next meaningful finish for the Huskies occurred in the 100-yard Backstroke, in which Christian placed 9th and Henwood took 10th. The second day concluded for BSC with a questionable disqualification in the 800-yard Free Relay. The Huskies were penalized for a false start which was difficult to detect and which the referee failed to indicate until the race had concluded. The penalty took away valuable points from the Huskies and prevented them from finishing 7th overall. "I didn't see a false start ," commented McLaughlin on the race. "I thought it was a very questionable call on the official's part, and I'll leave it at that. " The final day was highlighted by Matt Thran 's attempt to qualify for nationals in the 200-yard Breaststroke. But just as the tournament proved to be frustrating for BSC, so too was it for Thran when he missed qualifying by only five-tenths of a secondwith a personal best time of 2:13.83. Despite not qualifying' for nationals, Thran's time did give BSC its highest placing for the tournament ( 3rd). the Huskies final hope for national qualification came in the 400 Free Relay but that too proved to be a futile effort , as the team of Ken Chaney, Mike Hagginbothom , Brian Quibell and John Murphy recorded a personal best of 3:15.59, which fell below the qualifying time Francisco on All-Tourney Cheyney Downs BSC for PSAC Crown By WADE DOUGLAS For the second year in a row the PSAC championship matched the Huskies against rival Cheyney State and for the second straight year BSC had to settle for the runnerup spot. Even though the Huskies went down to defeat, they have nothing to be ashamed of. At the beginning of the season not many of the experts even gave the freshman-ladened squad a chance to make the tournament much less have a shot at winning it. Even after Coach Ghronister's team made the tourney many still doubted their ability to advance past the first round. After all, they were playing a West Chester team that had twice defeated BSC during the year. The Huskies quieted their critics by shutting down the Rams ' vaunted offense in winning 52-49. Not only did the cagers hold the West Chester offense 14 points below their average they also held them in the rebounding department often a BSC sorespot during the year. Clarion The West Chester victory advanced the Huskies to the semi-final round where they Sports Commentary were again matched against a high scoring team: Clarion. The high fl ying Golden Eagle offense was led by All-American Candidate Chris Roosevelt, who was averaging over twenty points a game. And unlike West Chester, Clarion was on the top of its game, winning 10 of its last 12 outings while scoring nearly 86 points a game. Unfortunately for Clarion , BSC was riding a seven game win streak of its own and playing its best ball of the season. Coach Chronister imWlth Francisco and Brown cutting off their passing lanes , Clarion was held without a field goal for the final ten minutes of the first half. plemented a newly developed 13-1 defense with either Barry Francisco or Tim Brown stationed in the middle. Normally a center or forward patrols the middle of the zone but the-BSC unorthodox defense which was unveiled against West Chester worked perfectly against Clarion. With Fran- cisco and Brown cutting of the opponents passing lanes inside the Huskies grounded the Eagles' offense holding them without a field goal for the final ten minutes. For the half Clarion shot a paltry 23 percent from the field. Fortunately for the Eagles, the aggressive BSC defense also led to a number of fouls which Clarion took advantage of hitting 12 of 14 at the charity stripe. While the defense was suffocating Clarioh, BSC's patient offensive strategy let the Huskies grab a 15 point halftime advantage 39-24. The Eagle offense started to heat up in the second stanza as Roosevelt (2 first half points) began hitting. Clarion 's 60 percent shooting whittled the Huskies lead down to just five with 8 minutes left in the game. Clarion's comeback forced Chronister to go to his four corner offense. And although the hometown fans weren't thrilled by the lack of action, the tactic worked to perfection. With Terry Conrad, Francisco and Brown doing the ball handling BSC held off the visitors late charge. The win proved costly to BSC however, as senior co-captain Conrad was undercut while Cagers Prove Experts Wrong By DAN LOUGHLIN Sports Editor Amazing! Incredible! Unbelievable! Take your pick of adjectives. But 'how else can you describe the accomplishments of BSC's men's basketball team? After losing seven players from last year's record-setting (24 wins) season not too many people expected the Huskies to have a winning record, let alone make the Pennsylvania Conference playoffs and the NCAA tournament. However, Head Coach Charles Chronister came up with an outstanding crop of recruits. Blue-chip players such as Timmy Brown , Pat Flanagan, Glenn Noack and have Planutis Shane unquestionably played a major role in the success of this year's squad. And what praise can be given to BSC's two remarkable veterans, Terry Conrad and Barry Francisco, that already hasn't been given? Conrad, who was forced to sit out most of the PC championship game due to a hip against injury suffered Clarion , came back to play the best game of his career in BSC's opening round game of the NCAA Eastern Regional against Cheyney. The senior captain was near picture-perfect, scoring 32 points including 12 of 14 shots from the floor against the archrival Wolves. Conrad' s most important contribution came when he sunk a 30-foot jumper at the buzzer to tie the game and send it into overtime. Conrad also scored 11 points and dished out five assists in the Eastern Regional Championship game against Philadelphia Textile. His two clutch performances earned him a spot on the toui ney all-star team. Francisco, who also had two tremendous games in the regional battles, was selected Most Valuable Player of the tournament. The "Bird" scored 19 against the Wolves and a game- high 23 points in the Textile game. By winning the Eastern Regional, the Huskies earned the right to host the quarterfinal round this Saturday nigh t against Wright State of Ohio. The only thing disappointing about both tournaments was the fact that both were held when the student body was home on spring break. Wolves retaliated as tourney MVP Leonard Goggins canned five quick markers to give the defending champs a 28-24 halftime edge. At the start of the second, the Huskies again opened strong, scoring the initial basket to cut the lead to two points. However, that was as close as the Huskies would get the rest of the game as the Cheyney defense collapsed to protect the inside. Without the outside scoring punch of Conrad to worry about, they could concentrate primarily on their inside game. Cheyney built several large leads only to see the tenacious Huskies battle back within four points twice. A third BSC charge again brought the lead down to just four, with the Huskies apparently going to have an opportunity to reduce the lead to two points. However, after rebounding, a Wolve missed BSC's Francisco seemed to "help" out of bounds by a Cheyney player. The referee didn't see it that way and awarded the ball to Cheyney. An incensed Charlie Chronister flew down the sideline to protest the call only to be presented with a technical foul upon arriving. Cheyney's Keith Johnson hit one of the foul shots and was fouled only seconds later as the Huskies became frustrated. Johnson's free throws built the lead back up to 58-51 to close the door on the Huskies. BSC's Francisco was named to the AH Tourney team along with Johnson, Cheyney's Kevin Taylor, Clarion's Roosevelt arid Edinboro's. Barry Marshall. going in for a layup. Conrad came down hard on his hip and would play only sparingly in the championship game. Francisco was named Player of the Game for his 24 point showing. The 6'3" leaper hit 9 of ' 12 from the field and was perfect on all six of his foul shots. Art incensed Charlie Chronister flew down the sideline to protest the call only to be presented with a technical foul upon arrival. He also played superb defense blocking four shots and recording four steals. Cheyney The coach may have changed since last season but the success of Cheyney's basketball team continued without missing a beat as they rolled to their seventh PSAC title in eight years. The claimed a 63-55 decision over a BSC team that was without Captain Terry Conrad for much of the game. Conrad, who has suffered a painfu l hip injury in the semifinal game against Clarion, attempted to play but the injury hampered him too much to go on. He left without scoring, missing all four of his shots. It looked as though BSC could pull off a win withcaptain as out their 18-13 they grabbed an the behind advantage freshman scoring of Shane Planutis. But the lead was shortlived as the CV Classifieds But now tne students are back and nothing less than a standing-room-only crowd is expected for tomorrow night. The expected huge crowd should really add to the carnival atmosphere and give the Huskies a decided advantage when Wright State, champions of the Great Lakes Regional, brings their 25-4 record to Nelson Fieldhouse. A win would send BSC to the "Final Four " in Springfield, Massachusetts next weekend. Announcements PROCESS MAIL AT HOME! $30.00 per hundred! No experience. Port or full time. Start immediately.

L_— • . —,— ™-^.»^ * | I I 1 BSC Wins Eastern Regionals By WADE DOUGLAS The Husky players and fans must have realized the similarities between this year's team and last year 's squad. Both teams had recorded twenty win campaigns both had lost to the second ranked Cheyney Wolves at home during the year and beaten them on buzzer beaters on the road, and both squads had travelled all the way to the conference finals before going down to defeat at the hands of their arch rivals. The only thing left for the Husky's to duplicate was a regiona l loss, again at the hands of the hated Wolves. BSC had their chance to match their predecessors but fortunately that is where the similarities end. A Terry Conrad 30 footer at the end of regulation sent the game into overtime, where Conrad again was the key figure by sinking a free throw with just eleven seconds left to lift the Huskies over Cheyney 76-75. For Conrad the revenge was especially sweet since he had been sidelined for nearly the whole night during the conference finals , watching helplessly as his teammates went down to defeat 63-55. BSC, which blistered the nets in the first half opening up a 3425 halftime edge, continued its hot shooting in the second half as they stretched their advantage to 44-30 with 16 minutes to go. Cheyney, on the other hand, dug themselves a deep hole by hitting on just 22 percent of their attempts in the initial half. Despite their poor shooting, the Wolves proved why they were ranked number two in the country by clawing back to within one with little more than a minute remaining. With the score 69-68 in BSC's favor , the Wolves 6'7" guard Kevin Taylor hit a running jumpshot to give Cheyney a one point lead. A Jerry Moore foul shot with 29 seconds remaining increased the lead to a basket. The Huskies worked the ball inside, taking nearly twenty seconds off the clock, before Pat Flanagan put up a short jumper that rimmed out. Cheyney's Taylor grabbed the missed shot and was immediately fouled by Flanagan with seven seconds left , setting the stage for Conrad's heroics. Taylor missed yet another foul shot that could have iced the victory for Cheyney, and the ever present Flanagan snared the carom , outletting to Conrad. The senior guard raced down the court and launched his game tying bomb. The overtime again featured Conrad as he was fouled with only eleven seconds remaining and the score knotted at 75. He netted his first try but left the crowd holding its breath by missing the second giving Cheyney one last shot. After calling time-out, the Wolves attempted to get the ball inside but was unable to penetrate the packed-in BSC zone. With only three seconds left , Keith Johnson sent a pass to Taylor at near the top of the key. Taylor threw up a desperation shot that banged off the rim giving the Huskies the win sending the crowd into a frenzy. Textile The Cheyney upset propelled the Huskies into the Eastern Regional finals to take on the 7th ranked Rams of Phila. Textile. Not only were the Huskies going for the regional title, but also hoping to avenge an early season loss at the hands of the Rams. BSC's task CAPITOL TWIN THEATRE ADULT MID-MTE SHOW Friday & Saturday ONLY ^^^¦^ Eggg K |1H ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ &'^^¦^¦ v¦¦i^^K:JI^i^^^H would not be an easy one as they could have suffered a big letdown after beating the Wolves. A letdown appeared likely in the first half as Textile dominated the boards despite the absence of their leading rebounder , Ed Mostak. Their 26-14 rebounding advantage sparked the Rams to a 34-28 lead near the end of the first half. With the Rams threatening to extend their advantage even more , Chronister called a timeout to change strategy hoping to avoid getting too far behind at half. Chronister's timeou t stalled the Textile momentum and allowed BSC to move within three, 34-31 at the first half buzzer. After intermission , the Huskies executed their pregame strategy to perfecti on penetrating the Textile middle to take advantage of Mostak's absence. The teams exchanged baskets to start the half before the Huskies made their move. Shane Planutis, Glenn Noack, and Francisco hit consecutive two pointers putting BSC ahead to stay 43-40. Textile's Ed Weaver hit two foul shots to cut the lead to one, it would be the closest the Rams would get the rest of the night, as their shooting touches went south for the night. While the Rams could not even buy a basket, Francisco was proving why he was chosen the tournament's MVP. The 6'3" leaper scored ten of his game high 23 points during a BSC spurt that set the lead at 5647. With Francisco taking care of the scoring duties, the rest of the Huskies took to battling the Rams on the boards. Although the Rams were only ten points down with plenty of time remaining, they uncharacteristically began forcing shots and committing needless fouls. The Huskies, meanwhile, were playing with confidence, easily handling the Textile pressure and working the ball for easy shots. As time began dwindling down , the Rams were forced to foul. Three of their starters were forced to sit. Fortunately for Textile, the normally fine, foul shooters from BSC could capitalize on only 8 of 18 tries. BSC's Francisco was named the tournament' s MVP for scoring 19 and 23 points in the Cheyney and Textile games, respectively. He also swatted away 12 shots. Conrad was named to the All Tourney team along with Cheyney's Kevin Taylor, Textile's Ed Weaver, and C. W. Post's Kevin Horton. Kent Hagodorn BARRY FRANCISCO drives past a Philadelphia Rams player in BSC's regional win over Spring Break. Host Wright State in Quarterfina l Game If the Huskies hope to advance to the Final they will, have to knock off yet another high ranked team in Wright State College (Ohio). During last weekend's Eastern Regional tournament, the Huskies ended the seasons of No. 2 Cheyney State and No. 7 Philadelphia Textile. The Raiders of Wright St. are currently fourth in the national survey. Saturday night's clash will mark BSC's first time in the guarter finals since 1974, when they were eliminated by eventual national champion Morgan State 71-59. As they have all season, the Huskies will be facing a more experienced opponent. BSC will be led by its lone senior Terry Conrad, who turned one of the best offensive performances anywhere this season in BSC's semifinals win over Cheyney. The co-captain canned 12 of 14 shots from the field and 8 of 12 foul shots to end up with 32 points. In addition , his 30 footer at the buzzer sent the game into overtime, which he won with a foul shot with 11 seconds to go. Conrad's 14.1 scoring average is second to only Barry Francisco's 14.9 avera ge. The 6'3" skywalker was named the tournament Most Valuable Player for his 19 and 23 point outing against Textile and Cheyney. He also swapped away 12shots during the two day event. Freshman forward Glenn Noack, is the third Husky in double figures with a 12.1 average. Noack is also BSC's leading rebounder, grabbing almost six a game. As a team BSC hits 48.8 percent from the field and over 70 percent at the charity stripe, for 70.4 points a game. Defensively they surrender only 67 points, forcing their opponents to shoot just 45.1 percent. Only seven teams have scored more than 70 points against the Huskies, five of which resulted in losses. Wright enters the contest sporting a 25-4 season log. The Raiders are making its fifth straight trip to the tourney to go along with its fifth straight twenty win year. Despite its perennial success this will be the first trip to the quarterfinal round for Wright State. Their wins over Lewis 71-57 and Kentucky Wesleyan 69-67 gave them the Great Lakes title. The Raiders average nearly 81 points a game on 53.4 percent shooting from the floor and 72.4 percent from the line. This will be the first meeting between the two schools but they have two common opponents: Cheyney and Gannon. While BSC split four meetings with the Wolves , Wright lost 68-60. Gannon handed BSC its first loss of the year 68-58 in overtime but lost to the Raiders 76-60. Game time is 8 o'clock tomorrow night at the Nelson Fieldhouse, with the winner travelling to Springfield, Mass. for the semifinals.
