His life surrounds him as he
works at his desk. Birds and horses, a picture of a man fishing, and
a poem by Blake are j ust a few
things which form a large part of
Richard Savage.
The story of j ournalism at BU expanded after his arrival in 1960,
and since then he has introduced
six undergraduate j ournalism
courses into the curriculum . After
24 years of service , he has seen
many students graduate as better
writers, and a number of them
h a v e become successful
professionals , ^o^, he says, it is
time for him to finish a project and
accomplish new expectations when
he retires this May.
* Savage has "quite a new life "
planned. His firs t project will be to
work toward the expansion of an
article to book length publication .
This summer he will be adding
quotes and rewriting the first few
pages. When he was on sabbatical
in 1979 he did a lot of reading , which

led him to write the article Blake
and Dostoevski : Revelations of
Relativity.
Savage^ first encountered
work after someone
Dostoevski's
recommended he read Crime and
Punishment when he was 18. His
love of Blake's poetry grew while
he taught at the University of
Massachusetts.
An English poet and a Russian
novelist would appear to have little
in common, but Savage believes a
central idea can be seen in both . "I
found out that they have the same
view of the world in the way the
poems and novels dramatize the
whole of life in realistic terms,"
says Savage.
Blake and Dostoevski both split
their characters to see what particles make them up. "The scientists I'm reading about now quote
Blake," says Savage.
"Some years ago I worked parttime at the Press Enterprise and
also did research for my article,"
says Savage. "So j ournalism and

Post Homecoming Activities
Cause Chaos in Bloomsburg

Homecoming celebrations by Bloomsburg University students and
alumni turned into chaos on Saturday.
Local and state police broke up loud parties , quieted two angry mobs in
local bars, and arrested six people during a 12-hour period.
Bloomsburg Patrolman Charles H. Coffman 3rd said the evening
disturbances involved "college and alumni-type people." Four of those
arrested were college students, he added.
The first of two disturbances occurred at the Paddock Bar on Catherine
St. Saturday afternoon. Coffman said, 400-500 people were in front of the
bar drinking and shouting .
Police became involved after a phone call from a woman who said she
had been shouted at and her car had been vandalized.
After an hour , police were able to clear the street.
Apparently many went to Hess's Tavern on Main St. after being chased
from the scene.
Coffman said, Hess's called the police around 1:30 a.m. saying they had
trouble closing the tavern.
"There were between 400 and 600 people out on Main Street, and quite a
few were intoxicated ,'' as stated in the Press-Enterprise.
According to the police, there would have been more arrests had they
been prepared for the crowds. ~

Response to letters

Dear Editor,
After sitting back for two years
and biting my tongue over the
Greek vs. Non-Greek controversy,
I am finally taking the time to write
my opinions. So many things need
to be cleared up.
The fact that everyone has
overlooked is that we are all individuals with different opinions.
Of course the Greeks and NonGreeks will have differing opinions
about being Greek. They have
chosen different routes to travel .
Why can 't we both learn to respect
and accept the decisions that each
individual has made? The question
to be raised is not whether it is
"better " to be Greek or Non-Greek,
but what is best for each individual
person.
The Greek system offers an opportunity to meet other people.
Pledging is a- time to become close
to those who you are pledging with.
Once pledging is over you do not
automatically become close with
the members of each fraternity or
sorority . Friendship-is something
that must be worked at. Pledging is
an end, but it is also a beginning. It
is not, however, the only way to
make close friends .
There are two misconceptions I
would like to address. First,
Greeks do not pay to be a sister or
brother. They do not "pay to be
friends. " Greeks pay dues which
cover expenses from date parties,
banquets, mixers with fraternities
or sororities, and house dues.

These are only a few costs that
come to mind.
Second, not every Greek is a
leader nor is every Non-Greek.
Yes, Greeks have leaders and also
some followers. Yes, Non-Greeks
have leaders and some followers.
Someone must fulfill each role.
Noone person has the right to
criticize what another wants to do..
Non-Greeks have made their
decision and because of this do not
fully understand the Greek system.
They do not understand the reason
behind pledging and , therefore,
should not criticize those who do
pledge'. The Greeks are not part of
the Non-Greek population and
therefore do not understand
decisions not to become a part of a
sorority or fraternity. The Greeks
have no right to criticize the NonGreeks for their decisions.
I have made some of my closest
friends through pledging and
working in a sorority. I also have
made many close friends who are
not my sorority sisters of " Greek.
Any group you spend time with ,
you become close to. I resent
people cutting down the Greek
system. I am sure the.Non-Greeks
also resent being criticizes for
deciding not to become a part of the
Greek system.
Let's lay this issue to rest.
Respect the choice of every person
to do what they feel is best for
them.
Sherri Smith

EDITOR'S NOTE : The two letters on this page will be the last letters
dealing with pledging. I hope my editorial of Oct. 22 had nothing to do with
this mess but I suspect that it did. I apologize to Greeks and all readers.it
was written on a Thursday night that I . was planning on going home for a
long weekend. The sooner I was done, the sooner I got out ot my oft ice so 1
picked on the Greeks. It was poor journalism and 1 promise not to go
home on a long weekend ever again.

The last Greek speaks

Dear Editor ,
This letter is in response to all the
letters concerning the Greeks and
Non-greeks. The issue of being
leaders was discussed. We, as
mature college students must
realize that in every group there
are leaders and followers. Wearing
Greek letters doesn't distinguish
between the two. I am very proud
to wear my letters and just because
I am wearing them does hot mean
I'm hiding behind them. How many
people on this campus wear BU or
any other college's sweatshirt?
Does that mean they are hiding
behind that institution 's
reputation?
I can understand why some
people see pledging as the "dirtyDeed", but we all must realize that
things on this campus get totally
blown out of proportion and
pledging activities are no exception. The physical and mental
abuse is not all it 's cracked up to be
or no person would put up with it. I
was GDI for two years and when
rush rolled around I decided to try
it. I was very surprised to find that
the girls weren 't the typical
stereotype of being cliquey , but
they really had a special friendship. Pledging as a crash course
wasn't easy but I knew the end
result would be worth it. I looked at
pledging as a crash course in life *

having to do things tor other people
to finally reach the top - sisterhood.
I' m not trying to brainwash
anyone into pledging, but I really
wonder how many of the people
who put down the Greek system
have seriously looked into it and
tried experiencing it.
We as
Greeks don 't try to persuade
anyone to go Greek, we only invite
people to try it. One bit of advice to
the GDI's, so why do you feel the
need to stereotype us?
Jean Achuii
- Greek and proud of it.

—Since May there have been
problems in the black high schools
near Pretoria , South Africa. As
many as 220,000 black high school
students have . been boycotting
classes, demanding representative
councils and getting rid of the age
limit for final high school exams.
This has led to wider, confrontations with the white
authorities , as the black students
feel the inadequacies in their
education is a clear result of the
practice of apartheid in South

riots in which more than 80 blacks

Recent Government statistics indicate that Pretoria spends six or
seven times as much on the
education of white students than
black students.
—China has announced plans to

Before lie reached his sophomore
year in college, Savage enlisted in
the Navy in 1942 where he was
based much of the time in northern
Scotland. "I never planned on
being a teacher when I was in
World War II , " recalls Savage.
"Entering the teaching profession
was actually accidentia!. But I
found I really liked it," says
Savage. .
While in the Navy, Savage was in

national concensus that something
must be done about unemployment. The country is also being
confonted with a Labor Party that
is so far left ideologically, compared with the Conservatives, that
ideas and solutions to the problem
are not being put forcefully or

—As a result of continuing

the size of the U.S. Embassy staff
in Beirut from 45 to 30. Previously
there were 99 Americans on staff ,
but this was reduced after the bom bing on September 20th, when two
Americans died. Since American
involvement is limited and the past
experiences with bombings, the
Government feels it is wise to leave
as few people as possible in the
Embassy. The state department
has said this is only a temporary
situation, and will be reviewed to
see when Americans can return to
their posts at the Embassy.

The chemistry behind the concert committee

SHONA FRASEK
Voice Contributor
Most people imagine chemistry
majors as people who sit in the
chemistry lab mixing solutions and
testing for acids and bases, „ not
people who enjoy music and make
it a part of their life.
Dave M u r p h y , a senior
chemistry major , is the chairperson of the concert committee at
Bloomsburg. He has been involved

with the concert committee since
his freshman year. "1 started on
the committee as a stage-hand and
through experience and other
facets, I eventually became chairperson ," Murphy said.
When selecting who will perform
in concert, the committee receives
a list from a middle agent. Bloomsburg's middle agent is Harris
Goldberg who works out of Woodstock and is the agent for over 200

other colleges. From the list , the.
committee decides wno to place a
bid on. The bids can run anywhere
from $10 - 25,000.

The committee tends to go for the
bands that are popular now. This is
a result of shows which did not sell
out. An example Murphy refers to
is "The Clash*' concert that was
scheduled for the spring semester
of 1984. "If they had been here a

Sold! By a student auctioneer
DAWN 'I\ GREENE
Staff Writer
"Sold to number eight for $100!"
says professional auctioneer Scott
Younkin , a 25-year-old senior
marketing major at BU , has been
interested in auctions since he was
in . high school. "I went to my first
auction when I was a sophomore
and was amazed at how fast-paced
everything was," says Younkin.
His amazement soon developed
into self-employment when he
needed an income. "My parents
didn 't allow me to have a j ob in
high school; and I needed to earn
some extra spending money to support myself ," says Younkin. "I
went to some auctions and bought
some household goods that I though
I could make a dollar on. I would
then re-enter it in another auction
or resell it privately to antique
dealers and collectors.''
A. year after high . school
graduation , Younkin ran a
classified ad in his hometown
newspaper , the Williamsport Sunday.Grit — "Will buy anything you
have to sell." Within the first two
weeks that the ad ran , he received
over 300 calls with people trying to
sell things. "People were trying to
sell me.stuff that even the garbage
man wouldn 't take away," he says,
reflecting upon his first days as an
aspiring auctioneer. He financed
this adventure by using profits he
earned during high school.
Younkin decided that he liked the
business and wanted to become a
licensed
auctioneer.
Auctioneering can be a lucrative
business since pay is based on commission of sales. To become an auctioneer, a person has to pass an
examination given by the State
Civil Service Testing Commission.
iNow requirements for testing
eligibility were established in
August 1983 by the testing commission. Now, a person must earn
30 college credit hours in an auctioneering program approved by
the state or . serve two years as an
apprentice to a licensed auctioneer. An eligible person, must
also be sponsored by a licensed
auctioneer before being allowed to
take the exam. Since Younkin took
his test befoe August 1983, he
followed the old requirements ;
these were to complete one auctioneering program approved by
the state or serve one year as an
apprentice to a licensed auctioneer.
Younkin attended the Reppert
Schoolv.of Auctioneering, Decatur,
Ind,;. in December 1977. The three
week;;?course included basic instructions for auctions, bid calling,
legalities and generalities of aue*

tioneering, ethics, and livestock information. "Out of my class of 65
students, the age range was from
18 to 65. I was the youngest," says
Younkin.
He became the apprentice of a
Williamsport auctioneer in March
1978, doing about 10-15 auctions
during his apprenticeship.
A year later, Younkin transferred his apprenticeship to Edward Derr, and took his auctioneering examination in August,
with Derr sponsoring him. He was.
tested on units of measure for real
estate, types of wood, antiques, and
periods of furniture. He had started
a full-time job working in the
dietary department at the Williamsport Hospital in November 1978
and didn 't have the time to work as
extensively as jie wanted to in auctioneering.
In May 1980, Younkin took a oneday seminar on antiques and
collectables at the Behrend College
branch campus of Penn State in
Erie. There he met auctioneer
Douglas Bilodeau, president of the
International
Auctioneering
School, South Deerfield, Mass. "I
was very impressed with
Bilodeau 's auctioneering
knowledge and. decided to enroll at
the auctioneering school," Younkin
recalls.
The two-week program began in
August 1980, and dealt with the extensive legal work of auctioneering. Two weeks later,
Younkin started at the Williamsport Area Community College as
an undeclared student with an interest in business administration.
"I'm a firm believer of education,
and I always knew I'd attend
college," says Younkin. He also
went back to the International Auctioneering School in November to
take a one-day seminar course on
oriental rugs.
Younkin didn 't have much time
left for auctioneering between
working part-time at the hospital
and his college activities. At
WACC, he was a member of the
business fraternity Phi Beta Lambda ,, and active in the Circle K club,
a college branch of the Kiwanis.
Younkin held the positions of vicepresident and pesident of the Circle
K during fall semester of 1981 and
spirng semester of 1982. During
this time, the Circle K established a
memorial scholarship for
humanitarian P.D. Mitchell, the
first black Kiwanis governor . of
Pennsylvania. "I've been invited to
join Kiwanis when I enter the
business world," says Younkin. "I
believe in everything Kiwanis stands for and plan to continue my
membership^after I graduate from

college."
Younkin was getting well-known
around the community through the
college activities and auctioneering. "When I was attending
WACC, I had gained enough" selfexpOsure and a good reputation as
a citizen and auctioneer to have a
nice private business," says
Younkin. "I left Derr when I obtained my license and was doing it
on my own."
Before Younkin accepts a perspective job, he must have a binding, legal contract with the client.
He then decides if it is equitable for
the client to have the auction.
"People think that sentimental
value is worth money," says
Younkin. "I have to be honest and

tell them that it would cost more to
have an auction than if they gave
their belongings away."
It's also Younkin 's responsibilityto promote the auction. He advertises in local aewspapers and
radio stations and posts signs
regarding the auction throughout
the area . Younkin promotes his
own business on the radio stations
in Bloomsburg and Williamsport.
Younkin appraises estates of the
deceased to be settled for tax purposes. "It's sad dealing with the
relatives," says Younkin. "I try to
be as sympathetic as possible
without losing a professional attitude."

,Last week s picks resulted in a
2^10.record for the Pickins trio. We
went . without a guest last week so
their record remained at 25-15,
(62,5 percent). I hold second place
with a 35-25 ( 58.3). Rob has a 55 percent (33-27 ) mark while Sarah
holds down fourth with a 26-34 (43.3
percent)record .
This week our guest is "Tony the
Baker", the man who puts the
weight oh everybody, you know,
the old freshman fifteen. He will be
looking to up the guest 's mark.
TONY TH'E BAKER - Boston
College will send Penn State to the
showers for their second loss in a
row,, B ; C. 35, PSU 14. Auburn
should be too much for Florida to
handle, Auburn 21, Florida 7. West
Virginia will be like a hot potato after beating Penn State. West
Virginia . 28, Virginia 14. Notre
Dame fans *hee'ds a big boost, so
this is for . the /' Gipper. '' Notre
Dame 24, Navy 10.
BlOO'm sburg is always where my
heart is at , win or lose its with the
Huskies. Bloomsburg 21, West
Chester 7. Millersville and East
Stroudsburg, this is a toss up.
Millersville 14, EastStroudsburg O.
Cleveland is in the game with this
one, Cleveland 14, Buffalo 10. It will
be Payton in a 'm arathon, Chicago
35 , the L.A. Raiders 24.
Philadelphia and Detroit, this is
another one that the fans need for
morale, Philly 24, Detroit 14. Dan
Marion will hit his targets and will
win the big prize, Miami 32, Jets 21.
MIKE ALBRIGHT - My wish for a
good week came true as I ended up
with an 8-2 record. Hopefully, now I
can put together two good weeks^
Doug Flutie and Boston College
travel to Penn State to take on the
Nittany Lions. I'd like to see PSU
win but it won't happen. Call it BC
24,; PSU 20. Auburn and Florida
hook up in a match that will see the
Gators , down the visiting Auburn
squad , 17-10.
Virginia ventures into rival West
Virginia territory to take on the
Mountaineers. WVU is still high off
their victory over Penn State and
will ride the momentum to a win
over the Cavaliers, 35-14.

Pigskin Picki ns

Navy and Notre Dame, both with
.500 records will meet in wha t will
probably be a good game, but I
don 't think the Irish are that good.
Just because they upset LSU. last
week, that doesn 't mean they can
beat Navy . Make is 27-24, Navy.
Bloomsburg arid West Chester,
the game of the year- for the
Huskies. A win will send BU to the
state game in Hershey, a loss ends
the season for all intents and purposes. I think George Landis will
have the squad prepared. Praying
for a play-off berth , I see it as BU
15. WC 14.
Millersville hooks up with East
Stroudsburg in another good game.
The Marauders will be victorious
by a 28-10 score.
Professionally, a super bowl
match up will see Buffalo and
Cleveland in basically a bad game.
Combined, both teams at 1-17.
Cleveland should win 24-14. The LA
Raiders will be out for blood after
losing to Denver due to some
questionable coaching by Tom
Flores. I see the Bears falling to the
Raiders, 27-21.
Philadelphia and Detroit meet in
the Lions ' stadium. Detroit will use
the home field advantage to down
the Eagles 21-7. Finally, Miami will
lose it's first game of the season to
the erratic Jets. The Jets have been
up and down this year, but the
Dolphins will catch them on an up
day and will lose 31-24.
ROB FLANAGAN - I'm still ticked
at Penn State so for the first time in
my life I'm going to pick them to
lose. I'll still spend the afternoon
praying that they 'll win but to help
my record I'll pick Boston College,
24-17. Auburn is beginning to play a
little better and you have to like
them over Florida . It should be
around 21-7. West Virginia is certainly impressive. Give them a 3110 win over Virginia. Notre Dame
isn't any good but they'll beat
Navy, 17-10.
The Huskies will be in a battle on
Saturday but they should still come
out on top. Let's say Blooomsburg
17, West Chester 12. Give Millersville an easy win at East Stroudsburg, say around 24-12.
On Saturday I think Buffalo will
get its first win over Cleveland. It

The Huskies have only let me
down once this year. They better
not do it again ! The game of course
will be close since both teams will
be fighting for the top spot in the
east, but I know Bloomsburg will
come out on top. After all we are
the better school ! Give the Huskies
a 25-20 edge over West Chester.
This next game is a tough one to
pick. East Stroudsburg should be
doing better than their record
shows, but they haven't been winning the key games. I think they
will lose to Millersville with a close
score 14-12.
The Bills have not been faring too

Miami over anybody, but the Jets
should make it a game with their

SARAH HACKFORTH - Penn State
really blew it last week. They'll be
lucky if I ever pick them again.
Good old BC will blow them out 3412. I'm going to pick Auburn to beat
Florida again this week 18-15.
West Virginia did a good job on
Penn State last week so I hope they
will continue their winning ways
and crush Virginia 21-10. 1think the
fans of West Virginia are fantastic
so they deserve another win. I read
an article about Gerry Faust in the
New York Times the other day that
said how optimistic Faust was even
though they have had trouble winning at home. I hope he can convey

For the second year in a row, the
Bloomsburg University football
team is one win away from the Pennsylvania Conference's championship "State Game." Last year,
the Huskies dropped a 13-7 decision
to East Strousdburg in the ninth
game of the season as the Warriors
went on to the title game.
Saturday, the Huskies (5-3, 4-1 in
the division) will travel to West
Chester to face the front running
Rams ( 6-2, 4-0) , who are coming off
a come-from-behind 34-29 win over
Millersville last week.

passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Horrocks also ran for two
scores; and was named as the
ECAC "Offensive Player of the
Week." On the season, the 6-3, 195

kickoff and punt returns. The 5-10,
175 lb. tailback has racked up 1,184
yards on 184 rushes and 27 catches.

have to contend with a Colder
Rams offense that is averaging 30.£
points per game.
Junior linebacker Frank Shep

tock continues to lead the team
with 101 tackles. Nose guard Wes
Cook also had a good game in BU's
14-3 win over Kutztown last Saturday, as he recorded four tackles
and two quarterback sacks. For his
effort, Cook was named as the Berwick Forge and Fabricating Defensive Player of the Game.
Tony Woods came up with his sixth interception of the year Saturday, and cornerback Fisher came
up with , his second. Bloomsburg
has 17 interceptions, and has an impressive take away-give away ratio
of plus 10.
Offensively , " sophomore quarterback Jay Dedea took advantage
of his first start of the season to hit
14 of 21 passes last Saturday for 209
yards and two touchdowns. He was
named to the ECAC Weekly Honor
Roll.
Flanker Ken Liebel caught both
of Dedea 's touchdown passes
against Kutztown . He ranks second
on the team in receiving with 15
catches for 222 yards. Senior tight
end Brian Bidelspach leads the
squad with 22 receptions for 324
yards.
Bloomsburg 's offense was
buoyed by yet another freshmen
runningback , Tom Futch. With the
Huskies' leading rusher, Jeff
Flickner nursing an injured knee,
Futch responded with 86 yards on
21 C£irri6s

The West Chester defense is led
by its inside linebackers , John
