Highlighting this year's program are presentations by three guest writers - Sanford Pinsker, Edwin Moses, and David Hellerstein whose work has been published nationally. Pinsker, a member of the faculty at Franklin and Marshall College, will discuss "Contemporary American Literature" atl:30 p.m., April 6, in the Coffee House, Kehr Union. Pinsker's most recent critical works are "Philip Roth : Critical Essays" and "Between Two Worlds: The American Novel in the 1960's."

He is a visiting humanist in a program sponsored by the Pennsylvania Council for the Humanities. Moses, whose most recent novel "Astonishment of Heart" was published in February by Macmillan, will be giving a reading from his work Thursday, April 5, in the Kehr Union Coffee House at 3:30 p.m. His first novel "One Smart Kid" was published in 1982 by Macmillan and has received critical praise for his sensitive treatment of adolescence.

Hellerstein will read from work in progress Thursday, April 5, at 8:00 p.m. in the Coffee House, Kehr Union. A physician who is completing a psychiatric residency at New York Hospital, Hellerstein has written articles for the "North American Review," "Harper 's," "Esquire , " and "Harvard Magazine."

The report issued annually by Jack Gourmann, an outspoken California professor , gave the university a rating of 2.90 for its undergraduate programs and 2.05 in gradua te and professional studies, both "marginal Thinks "It irritates me," said Wes Kreitz, a senior music and education major from Jersey Shore. "I'd like to see what information he had, because I just transferred from Perm State and the programs here, particularly in education, are far superior and seem more worthwhile to any I had there " ¦ "The reason I did come here v/ere the fabulous statistics in education output Bloomsburg had, as well as the professors, whom I spoke to,"Kreitz continued. Most had never heard of Gourmann, or his report. But many said the university is highly recommended for its business departments in particular. "I don't think I'm wasting my money here," felt Carolynn Forman, a junior business management major from Doylestown. Mark Seagreaves, a senior marketing major from Allentown, said his program is "more than up to standard" compared to the "bigger " name schools. "I'm learning about my field and getting a good liberal arts background as well with the electives you're required to take," he said. "Every one of my professors holds a PhD, and all have practical experience in the marketing area." Lemon s To Reopen KEVIN TURNER Early Wednesday morning on January 24, Lemon's Tavern was gutted by fire. College students cried out, "Will Lemon's ever rock again." "Hell, yes," says Ned Lemon, owner of Lemon's Tavern. "I'll be back with the biggest sound system and light show in the area." The remodeled Lemon's will ma"ke its grand reopening sometime this year in early March. The tavern has been completely redone. "Everything is new," remarks Ned, "all the way down to the tables and chairs." The new Lemon 's will be featuring a new 22 foot sit-down bar, two 18 foot stand-up bars, a new dance floor, and a new sound and light system that promises to be bigger and better than before. All this dancing- is bound to generate some heat. Ned has devised a solution to this problem by introducing a new air conditioner and ventiliation system. Ned will be accomplishing these renovations in less than two months time with the help of 4 carpenters, 3 electricians, and a plumber. Ned would like to extend a special thanks to his bartenders and employes who helped clean out the debris from the aftermath of the fire. He would also like to thank Russell's Tavern who donated a night's profit to the remodeling of Lemon's. New plans to carry a greater variety of beers and plans to have specials and-or entertainment six nights a week. "My goal is to make Lemon's the hottest night spot in the area," smiles Ned confidently. "When my customers are happy, , I'm happy;" Concert Comment Friday night I got a call asking me .if I was still interested in interviewing the Romantics and Adam Ant. In my state of mind I said yes, with no regard to friends who were visiting from home. My difficulties began when I tried to find what is considered to be "backstage" at Nelson Fieldhouse. Once I had that determined, I thought the rest of the night would be a breeze. I should mention here that I really don't like either group. The Romantics have maybe five enjoyable songs and "Ant Music" is Adam's only stomach-able song. The only reason I was interested in doing the interviews was that I had spoken with Todd Rundgren when he was here two years ago, and found it to be quite a thrill to talk to a musician that the majority of the country has at least heard of. Even my mother knows who Adam Ant is. Besides, it would certainly qualify me for a spot on "My Brush with Greatness'' on Late Night David Letterman. Well, anyway, back to the backstage door. I found it and was received by the Romantics with the graciouness that a reviewer for Rolling Stone is probably accustomed to.. I was told to stand out of the way of the men who were working and putting things in their place. Being the only student backstage, I was given a place to stand with a view which was certainly like anyone else's. I got to see the show from beside the stage. I was watching the show with a man who identified himself as the head of the Romantics road crew. We spoke about how well the tour had been going, how the show had to be stopped last week in Miami because girls rushed the stage, and about how much food the boys ate last night at the Hotel Magee. They all established new personal records of gluttony. At the end of their performance, the Romantics ran right to where I was standing and the man to whom I was speaking introduced me to them. Three of them didn't seem to be too impressed to hear that a college newspaper was requesting an interview. However, drummer Jimmy Marinos said that he knew someone was coming. We talked for about 20 seconds, he said that everyone wanted to cleanup, they were sweating profusely , and we could talk in about half an hour*. Adam Ant and his people then took over. People bagan to move everything so quickly that they gave the impression of being able to set up a stage in their sleep. Once Mr. Ant began his show, I met three of the girls who were traveling with him. I should say here that while his music isn't impressive, there's a lot to be said for Adam's taste in women. These girls were gorgeous and I can't remember one thing that we talked about. I was mesmerized. About half an hour into the show, the two biggest goons I've ever seen, approached me and asked me how I got backstage. It was then that I remembered what my executive editor said to me when I picked up my pass - "Don't give this to anyone, keep it with you." Now would be a good time to say that the first thing I did when I found the backstage door was give my pass to the man who let me in. The girls and I tried to get these boobs to believe me when I said I had a right to be there, but each of them grabbed an arm and started dragging me out. I put up what I would call the slightest resistance and suddenly found myself up against the wall with both stooges having a hold of one of the lapels of the jacket I was wearing. I was at least six inches off the ground. Next, a short man with more muscle than height approached and asked if there was a problem. Apparently, he thought there was and with each goon again having a hold of an arm , he drew his right arm back. Now, with the exception of a few heartaches I have had, the thought of this arm about to hit me was the worst feeling I've ever had. I don't know how many of you jog or do sit-ups, but I do and did both, Friday afternoon. I'd just like to state for the record that neither does any good when you're into the situation I was in. I also don't know how many of you have seen the Rockford Files , but Jim often takes a pretty good shot to the stomach and it takes him a matter of minutes to recover. It was easily five minutes before I could even think about standing up straight. I then found myself outside of Nelson. Two of the girls did come out to see if I was alright so it wouldn't be right for me to bad mouth Adam's entire crew. I would like to thank Joe Allison, a member of the concert committee who managed to get backstage and find my overcoat. But what really pissed me off was that when Joe handed me my coat, I found that my "I found the law"pin had been swiped. ROB FLANAGAN Announcement Any May '84 or Aug.

Ex-GI ROB FLANAGAN News Editor In last week's CGA election, Bret Hoffmaster, a sophomore majoring in business marketing, captured the position of president. The other two offices decided were vicepresident and treasurer, won by Sean Mullen and Kelly Lewis, respectively. Hoffmaster's major goal at this time is to simply get more people involved in CGA. He isn't quite sure how he is going to do that but he's going to work on it all summer. Hoffmaster said that the thing he'd like to do most is increase student involvement of the Representative Assembly. "I've got a lot of learning to do, I'll be going to all the meetings trying to get more of an insight on CGA," Hoffmaster said. Hoffmaster went on to say, "I like the work that Chris Hardinger has done this year and at this time I really don't see any major changes that I would make." A member of the Student Senate this year, Hoffmaster is also in Delta Omega Chi, he is the fraternity's recording secretary. He is also a member of the College Republicans and the steering committee for the upcoming mock election.

Brian Creep The Student Excuse LORI LEONARD" News Editor Well, the long awaited concert finally got off without a hitch. On Friday, February 24 Adam Ant and the Romantics rocked an almost capacity crowd at Nelson Fieldhouse: The contest, that was sold out, was a conglomeration of light, loud music and the typical concert excitement. The Romantics opened the show with their smash hit "Rock Me Up " off their latest album , "In Heat." The group, complete with pompadores, had the audience dancing in the space available. Other songs by the Romantics included "Got Me Where You Want Me" and their latest chart topper "Talking In Your Sleep." "What I Like About You," the Romantics 1980 smash closed their portion of the show and was also their encore much to the crowd's delight. After a 15 minute intermission during which the stage was reset , the long awaited English born rockand-roll extravaganza appeared attired in a black and peach Victorian costume tailored to fit in all the right places. Adam Ant started his program fully clothed , but by the end all knew what the strip tour was really about. Ant, by many was considered the "Michael Jackson of New Wave." He danced and did various and sundry acrobatic feats on scaffolding 15 ft. above the stage. His hips lured and enticed most of the females in the audience and even some of the males. One fan even expressed her opinion that what he did ,with them was a crime and his hips should be outlawed ! Ant, removed pieces of his wardrobe before every song and by the last number, was standing in leather pants and a loose top. Various members of the audience attempted to imitate Ant's burlesque. To this Ant replied "How many beautiful young ladies do we have in the audience?" To the tumultous answer, Ant told the young men "sans clothing," they must be "desperate." A perfect lead in to a song off the "Strip" album called "Desperate But Not Serious." Ant returned to the stage for two encores and ended the show with a splash. Clad only in brief leather shorts and stockings, Ant appeared in a clear 5' by 5' tank filled with water. He came out of the tank, combed his hair and sang the last encore dripping wet.

No, no just a cold. Anyhow, is there some way I'd be able to make that up?..." • Dealing with profs is an integral part of college existence. At one time or another almost every student must face a hassled instructor with some fabricated tale explaining their absence or misfortune. Many students become completely unglued when presenting such a story, probably due to their reliance on weary cliches like, "The dog got sick on my term paper". Sorry, no one, not even our faculty, is that gullible anymore. Therefore, necessity dictates that a modern student be much more imaginative when crafting an excuse. Instructors appreciate a really well constructed explanation- it shows effort on the student's part. A truly artistic ex cuse is one that combines creativity and credibility while making a student look good in a bad situation. First, fashioning an excuse requires a vivid imagination. Whet: constructing a tale, choose colorful or serious sounding words. Foi example, don't just "get sick", b< "taken ill". Futher, make any form of medical disorder (disorder- nol sickness ) appear life threatening Avoid simplistic statements like, "I had a cough", have a "bronchial malfunction" instead. If a studenl must use the tired "familj problems" routine, don't saj something unimpressive like, "Mj mom freaked out on my dad" rather "My parents are engrossec in a domestic crisis". Catch words and phrases ar only a part of the excuse game When accounting for absences, th biggest mistake students make i selling themselves short. Not .onl; should a student strive to get out o trouble, but they should endeavo to leave a positive impression c themselves in the process. For example, within the contes of the explanation, relate "to Di Grump sometihg intriguing aboiJ your life. Truth is fatal. Never sa; anything like "I didn't come to class because I was hungover." Professors aren't impressed by irresponsible lushes. Rather, appear deeply penti tent and say, "My cello recital ran late." This shows you are a musical person , it implies sensitivity and sophistication. After all, anyone can be hungover , but how many people play the cello? Credibility is also important when constructing an excuse. Many of my friends (the ones diseased with virtues like morals and ethics) refuse to take my advice because they won't lie to their profs. Now who said anything about lying? I've never lied to a prof. I do "admit to employing "poetic license" but I've never lied. For instance , when I told my instructor about my cello recital I committed- no falsehood , when I was in fourth grade my cello lesson ran ten minutes overtime. So, tell me, did I lie? Am I responsible for another's misassumption? I think not. The "universal time" explanation is equally applicable to medical excuses. For example, I was a bit accident prone as a child , as I incessantly, fell from trees , windows and cars. I was also a sleepwalker, and gave new meaning to the expression "things that go bump in the night." So, when I tell my prof I fell down the stairs and suffered a concussion , it's no lie, I simply neglected to mention I was twelve at the time. In ethical terms it seems unfortunate that students must scheme so to extricate themselves from trouble. However, practically speaking student doubletalk may not be all that bad. After all, the business world is full of slick "bull fertilizers" which students must be prepared to face. Therefore a guilty student can simply rationalize excuse giving as practical business application. Brian Creep Adam Ant opened his show dressed in his full regallia. He ended it clad only in leather bikini briefs. ARCUS BROTHER S' STEREO CENTER Corner of East & Third Sts.

This was also true of the Bears under their own basket. The Huskies allowed their ten point lead slip to six at the half as they entered the locker room with the score 22-16. The second half saw the Huskies hold off a strong attack by the Bears. Sloppy play, though, allowed Kutztown to catch up. With 7:21 left in the game catch up they did. They tied the score at 31. Much to the relief of the few Bloomsburg fans who had traveled to see the game, the Huskies awoke to take an eight point lead. Sophomore forward, Jean Millen, led all scorers with 19 points. She also ripped the boards for 12 rebounds and passed off five assists. Gaining 11 of her 19 points in the second half , Millen helped to pace the Huskies to their 52-45 win. Jeanne Radcliff also aided the Husky cause by pulling down 10 rebounds and scoring 8 points. The Huskies hope to continue their success in their bid to unseat top ranked Millersville to earn a berth at the PSAC championship in Hershey this weekend. Foul Shooting: BU Key to Success WADE DOUGLAS Sports Editor Fact No. 1- Good foul shooting teams win close games. Fact No. 2 - In their past eight games, BU has connected on 124 of 146 for a sizzling 88 percent. Fact No. 3 - Tonight's opponent Cheyney sent their last regular season opponent to the charity stripe 61 times. Theory - If your going to play Bloomsburg you had better entitle your gameplan "Handle With Care." Not only do the Huskies' sharpshooters lead the conference with nearly a 73 percent clip but two BU players sit atop the individual standings. AilAmerican candidate Barry Francisco, with a 83.9 percent mark, has led the PC ratings since January but will have to up his pace in order to stay there. Soph Glenn Noack has moved into a tie with his teammate at 83.9 percent thanks in large part to his school record 28 for 28 streak. A third Husky would also be battling for the lead if it weren't for his lack of attempts. Forward Shane Planutis, who set a BU mark at 26 free throws in a row before Noack's string, is hitting at a Although the aforementioned players headline the Husky free throw parade it is the improvement of the remaining players that has been most noticeable. Two players in particular have made major strides : Wes Wright and Pat Flanagan. Perhaps most pleasing to Coach Charlie Chronister is the development of Wright. A 54.5 percent shoorter in his first two years, the junior center seemed bent on carrying the Ken Casey tradition for foul shooting inepititude. (For you underclassmen, Casey, a former BU starting center sank a humiliating 32.4 percent of his foul tosses during the 1981-82 year). However, as Wright's confidence grew with his much improved play in the pivot, it carried over to his foul shooting. After a rocky start that saw him hit 56.8 percent in the first 15 games, the junior has upped that figure into the high sixties. Flanagan's improvement has not been so dramatic. The 6'6" soph shot a respectable 63.8 percent in his rookie season but struggled along with the team early on. His 15 game mark was just 41.8 percent. Now in a starting role due to Noack's injury, Flanagan is back up to a 63 percent level. Not surprisingly, BU's foul shooting success has coincided with their 10 game winning streak. And as the Huskies enter the PC title chase, it will provide them a great advantage, especially late in the game when Chronister employs his four corners offense.
