Want to be a RA ?

KERRY DESMOND
Staff Writer
Remember the beginning of the
semester, when you met your
resident advisor (RA ) for the first
time. He or she may have appeared
nervous, shy or intimidated, at first, but there is more to the job than
students can see.
The many responsibilities of
RA's include : enforcing college
policy, working the desk, and being
on call 24 hours a day for anyone on
their wing with a problem.
Applicants are available for
anyone interested in becoming an
RA next semester. Applications
are available at every residence
hall's reception desk. They must be
filled out and returned by Nov. 19 to
Lycoming Hall desk.
Resident Director of Lycoming
Hall, Linda Zyla said, "Those
seeking RA positions must have
lived in a residence hall for at least
one semester, but freshman and
transfer students are excluded."
Anyone wishing to be an RA must
apply for financial aid and a record
of application must be onfile.

Author to Discuss Problems
with Genetic Engineering

TINA WOLF .
News Editor
How do you feel about transplanting a baboon's heart to a
baby girl? Where do you stand on
issues such as gene experimentations to produce oversize
pigs or chickens?
Tonight Jeremy Rifkin will
discuss these issues and other
potential dangers of bioengineering
at 8p.m. in KUB.
Rifkin has spent the last seven
years fighting bioengineering as
president of the Washington-based
Foundation on Economic Trends.
Embryo transplants , 10-lb.
potatoes , and manipulations of the
genetic composition of living things
are all part of the phenomena of
bioengineering.
Rifkin will speak oh issues
covering aspects of bioengineering
such as this artificial creation of
life, genetic engineering and its
future in the human race and ethics
in science and technology. The
transplant of the baboon heart to a
baby girl is also sure to be an area

of discussion.
"If you've ever been concerned
about these issues relating to
bioengineering, then you should be
sure to be in the audience when
Rifkin addresses the BU community," said Joe Vaughan , chairperson of the university's Endowed
Lecture Series.
Rifkin is the author of several
books including "Who Should Play
God?" which examines social,
moral, political and economic
issues raised-, by genetic
engineering. Another book, "Entrophy " weaves together
philosophy, economics and the law
of thermodynamics. His most
recent book, "Algeny" deals with
his beliefs about genetic
engineering.
Recently, Rifkin has been involved in calling for a* ban on
genetic engineering of human
reproductive cells. Rifkin believes
all genetic engineering should be
prohibited. He also is active in
halting the experimentation to
make animals such as sheep and

pigs two times as large as current
living animals by injecting them
with a growth hormone gene from
humans.
Currently, the Foundation on
Economic Trends which Rifkin
heads, has filed suit against the
National Institute of Health to keep
them from permitting the release
of genetically engineered
organisms into the environment
without careful study.
Rifkin , a Chicago native ,
graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania and Tufts University
with degrees in public policy. He
has been active in the debate about
genetic engineering since the mid1970's.
Rifkin visit is sponsored by the
BU Endowed Lecture Fund and
Community Arts Council. He will
be giving three lectures today. The
first one, given at 10 a.m. in Room
A of KUB will primarily be a
student forum. At 3 p.m. Rifkin will
address faculty. Tonight's presentation at 8 p.m. is free and open to
the publiq.

Editorial

BLOOM COUNTY

Most of us have just finished that dreaded process known as scheduling.
Not only must students try to figure out which classes to take and when to
take them, but also which teachers to take. Picking classes is an annoying
task and trying to figure out who the best teachers are-only adds to the
irritation .
BU has a fine faculty , but let's .be honest; there are some who are subpar. I'm sure we would all like to avoid such professors, but how ?
Students usually ask around about teachers they are thinking of taking.
Some advisors even tell them who is bad. But what about the-advisors
who don't? Or the not so popular students with not too many friends? Or
the freshman who.doesn 't know any upperclassmen? It is bad enough to
have a tough course but to have one with an incompetent teacher is twice
as bad.
If student evaluations were accessible this problem would be close to
being solved. However, studen ts are not allowed to look at them . According to an APSCUF official (faculty association) it is in the teachers
contract that we cannot look at them. Should this be so?
One year during scheduling some students stood in line at registration
with their own evaluations of particular teachers. The teachers understandably were upset because only a selected group were involved
with only a few questions asked.
But, if the official student evaluations were on file somewhere (like the
library ) all teachers would be involved and .would be rated on the same
questions. Questions related to their teaching skills and how much work
they give are asked , not about their personalities. The former is
irrelevant to the learning process, the latter is not.
A few years ago some faculty gave permission for the evaluations to be
publicized but no one took the time to do some. Such laziness on the
students' part is uncalled for since it would have been beneficial to them.
We are all here of our own free will with one main purpose-to LEARN.
It is difficult to learn from an incompetent teacher. We must learn who
the best are. The most objective and impartial way ;to do this is through
official studen t evaluations. First, we have to get them released.

Announcement
The Delta Pi fraternity would like to thank the BU
community for committing their dollars and prayers to
the Sharon Mullen Fund.
Pledges made during the Delta Pi Volleyball Marathon
and additional contributions will be collected Thursday, in
Kehr Union (near the Delta Pi table) , 11a.m. to 4 p.m.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Editor ,
This letter does not apply to the
Greek system as a whole. It does
apply to a few individuals in a certain Greek organizati on.
Wouldn 't you agree that stealing
is wrong? Well , that is exactly what
happened on Election Night at a
local bar. We were out having a few
drinks and these Greek members
had to put a damper on our good
time. They removed a pitcher of
beer from our table and drank it.
When confronted with this
wrongdoing, they flatly denied
doing anything wrong.
This incident happened during
President Reagan 's victory
speech. The speech lasted a few

minutes and upon returning to our
table we found the pitcher in
question missing. The only people
that were near our table were those
several suspicious individuals. Instead of two pitchers of beer, they
now possessed three.
Being outnumbered four to one,
we had no alternative but to concede to these barroom bullies. We
may have lost our pitcher of beer,
but they are the, ultimate LOSERS
because they have diminished any
respect we once may have accorded to them !
Proudly signed,
Stanley C. Askins

Debaters Compete at BU

KATHLEEN HESS
Staff Writer
"One of the reasons the Mad Hatter Tournament has been so successful is because of the great support we've gotten from CGA , the
administration and the fine students here at Bloomsburg," said Harry
Strine; III, director of Bloomsburg
University's Forensic Society. The
16th Annual Mad Hatter Tournament was held last Friday and
Saturday at Bloomsburg. .
The tournament has a format of
three preliminary rounds plus
finals in nine events. Most other
tournaments have only two
preliminary rounds. The events include Persuasive Speaking, After
Dinner Speaking, Impromtu
Speaking , Extemporaneous
Speaking, Informative Speaking,
Oral Interpretation of Prose, Oral
Interpretationof Poetry, Salesmanship, and Duo. There are also
CEDA Debates and LincolnDouglas Debates. The students
prepared for their speeches except
in the Impromtu and ExSpeaking
t e r m p o r a n e o us
categories. The students' speeches
are from eight to ten minutes in
length. Dr. James Tomlinson directs the debates.
"We turned down other events
because the one here at Bloom-

sburg is better and more competitive," said Craig Disprow from
Plymouth State College, N.H.
There were approximately 125
competitors from 18 schools from
seven states in the Northeast.
These states included Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia .
John Chapin, the captain of the
Forensics team, said, "Things ran
rather smoothly and the tournament was good." He was pleased
with the number of teams¦¦ that
«.
came.
The winners of the Pentath , the
best speaker overall, were as
follows : 1st place, Donna O'Toole
from Wilkes ( this was her 101st
trophy) ; 2nd, Dave Fowler from
GM; 3rd, Chris O'Keefe . from
George Mason ; 4th, Wendy Kornreich from Rutgers; 5th, Jim McCafferty from George Mason ; and
6th, Nicollete Stearns from George
Mason.
The six highest schools were
Goerge Mason, Wilkes, Penn State,
West Virginia, Wesleyan, Clarion,
and Rutgers.
Bloomsburg students do not compete because it takes too many
students to do all of the work involved. Mr. Strine also said that
they do not believe in winning their

own trophies. The Bloomsburg
students would also have an advantage over the students who had
to travel from far away because
they would be more rested.
The debates and speeches were
held in rooms in Bakeless, Hartline, and Navy Hall, each having a
division of five to six people and
one judge. All were open to the
public.
In one of the Poetry semi-finals
Lynn Soporowski of Mansfield
University interpreted the poem
"Broken Dreams." Karen Fortner
did the poem "Desert Star Gaze,"
which is about girls getting picked

up by a truck driver in the Arizona
desert and Randy Miller did "Solar
Federation of Planets" Neil Peart
of RUSH.
The tournament is usually held
the first weekend in November, but
this year it was held the second
weekend because of Pi Kappa
Delta's, the National Forensic
Society, tournament. Next year it
will be back on schedule.
Bloomsburg ranked 12th in the
nation in Pi Kappa Delta's tournment in 1982 and was the only team
there from the East Coast. Mr.
Strine said, "We got to see the true
quality of the team then."

Orchestra Concert : Afternoon Delight

DONNA LUZENSKI
Staff Writer
Sunday afternoon 's CollegeCommunity concert marked
another step in their improving,
musical quality. Acoustically, they
were aided by a new reflective
shell.
The orchestra and its director,
John Master , received overwhelming applause for their performance from an audience of 700.
Soloists with the orchestra,
Harriet Couch, an opera singer
with the Manhattan Savoyards,
and John Couch, a pianist and
professor at Bloomsburg, were
marvelous. Beyond comparison,
the soloists gave a new meaning to
the word, supreme.
It has been said that music is a
universal language. And like all
languages, music is a means of
communicating ideas and feelings.
Howard Hanson 's "Symphony
No. 2" ( Romantic) for example,
expressed feelings of pathos and
happiness in its melodic lines. In
the Adagion movement the orchestra communicated a wistful
sadness with slow, easy, graceful
lines of music. The second
movement, Andante con tenerezzo,
concentrated on slow, melodic lines

of solos from the flute, clarinet,
oboe, and French horn sections.
Allegro con brio, a strong, fast,
energetic composition , comprised
the final movement.
Ralph Wolfgang, the orchestra 's
principal clarinetist, particularly
liked the tricky rhythms that were
interposed between the smooth,
legato lines in "Symphony No. 2."
Samuel Barber 's "Adagio for
Strings," a very slow, but expressive piece, incorporated an extended crescendo that reached a
beautiful climax which then subsided to a peaceful ending. Jill
Sakevicius, the orchestra 's concertmistress, noted that the piece
required much control , especially
for the first violinists, becuase the
bowings were very long.
In addition to the other pieces by
American composers in the
program , Master selected several
George Gershwin pieces.
The- second half of the program
began with Gershwin 's everpopular "Rhapsody In Blue",
which featured Couch on piano.
Couch brought out the masculine
lines of the composition very well
with his superb execution of the left
hand stroke-over in the melody.
The orchestra sounded like a jazz

band. Trumpets , French horns,
and clarinets took advantage of the
"smear of chords " to achieve
animation and flashiness.
Members of the brass section
concentrated on listening to each
other in areas involving syncopated rhy thms. The brass section made crisp, clean entrances
involving triplet sequences.
Soprano Harriet Couch kept the
romantic theme of the concert burning by singing three more Gershwin selections. She delighted the
audience with "Someone to Watch
Over Me, " "Embraceable You,"
and "Man I Love."

The orchestra 's grand finale was
John Philip Sousa's famous "The
Stars and Stripes Forever."
The new , high , reflective
acoustic shell, made of metallic
sections, helped amplify and
develop the sound.
Mr. Richard Martin, the orchestra 's principal French horn
player, said that the acoustic shell
has made an immense difference in
the orchestra 's intonation.
With much practice on the
musician's part combined with, the
new acoustic shell, the Bloomsburg
College-Community Orchestra 's
performance was a success.

A Ginkgo on Campus ?

KRISTIN RIEGEL __
Staff Writer
Yes, there is such a thing as a Ginkgo and we do have one on campus. It
can be seen between Luzerne Hall and the University Store.
This strange Ginkgo is a prehistoric tree, known for its unique fan-like
leaves ; its ancestors existed 200 million years ago in East China.
The Ginkgo tree is a smooth, sparingly branched tree , which can grow
to 120 feet. The tree is popular for its extraordinarily shaped leaves and
its unusual fruit. The yellow plum, like fruit of the female tree, contains a
sweet edible kernel covered by a foul smelling pulp. The male tree does
bear a flower but not the offensive fruit. For this reason , mostly male
trees are planted.
According to Dr. Louis Mingrone, the assistant chairman of the Biology
Department, the Ginkgo tree on campus is a female plant and its male
counterpart is located on Third Street . Because it is a female tree, it does
bear the offensive fruit. When Autumn arrives and the fruit falls to the
ground , the first frost of the year usually causes the terrible smell.
The Gonkgo tree is the only living member of its species that originated
in East China. Considered sacred in China , the Ginkgo (male tree ) was
used as ornamentation on the grounds of Buddhist temples. Presently,
the Ginkgo tree is popular in cities because it is resistant to pests and
pollution and tolerant to city growing conditions.
The Ginkgo tree is also popular on many university campuses. The
University of New Hampshire, according to Dr. Tom Sparhawk of.the
sociology department, has a Ginkgo tree and a Ginkgo Club.
When Dr. Sparhawk was at UNH in the Autumn of 1980, the Ginkgo Club
was prepared for the falling of the leaves of the Ginkgo tree. Shortly after
the leaves turned yellow, the club kept watch. It is a familiar folklore that
the majority of the leaves fall at the same time. If you are under the tree
when they fall it is good luck. He remembers walking past the Ginkgo one
day while 50 people were gathered under the tree. They were celebrating
the falling of the leaves because they were under the tree when it happened. He said that he does not know if they all received the "good luck"
of the Ginkgo.
" Unfortunately Bloomsburg University 's Ginkgo tree has already shed
its leaves. Last Wednesday our photographer ( not accompanied by his
camera ) visited the,tree to check it put for a photograph. At that time , it
was plush with leaves. The next day he returned with his camera to get
the shot'ahd.when he-arrived at the Ginkgo tree it was leafless. .Did they

BECKY BERNSTEIN
News Editor
"I was born in Yugoslavia at the
age of 3" said Mixed Nut Steave
Schwartzberg . That statement
typified the off-the-wall humor of
Mixed Nuts : A Crazy Comedy
Show, that was held in the Kehr
Union Multi-purpose A on Saturday
evening, November 10.
Along with Schwartzberg, Mixed
Nuts consists of Rex Morgan, Pete
Luftig, Sam Domsky, and Jim
Levi.
The audience, seemed to enjoy
the show. "I think they were really
funny, " said Kathedra Farmer , a
BU student. "It's unusual to see the
improvisation like that. They all
had to think of something really
fast," she continued, speaking of
the many parts of the show where
the group requested audience participa tion on which to build their
comedy sketches.
Acting as the conductor in one
improvisation, Jim Levi, directed
the other four "nuts" to develop
one idea given to them by the
audience dealing with "things I
hate". As Levi pointed to each
member, they would further
develop their story. Eventually, he

brought them to a deafening
crescendo of "mixed up" humor.
Levi also announced events on
the groups spoof on the Wild World
of Sports . They examplified a
Polish team in the bobsled competition and true to form the competition ended in the middle of a
hockey rink instead of at the bottom of a mountain.
"It was an original type of
comedy show," said another BU
student, Bill Schlorff. "I liked the
audience interaction ," he clarified.
The group Mixed Nuts began at
the University of Pennsylvania
eight years ago. Since then they
have perforemd on the Today
Show, CBS All American Comedy
Show, and have been voted best
comedy group in Philadelphia. "It
was us against city council," joked
Levi.
Their material is all original , but
the group does ' admit to being
devout followers of Emily Post's
Etiquette book. Costuming is also
an original art for the group. Each
costume must be "Cosmetically as
well as comedically correct ," said
Schwargzberg.

Are you interested in an exciting team sport but afraid that practices
/
will cut into study timp?
Now every Monday and Tuesday evening from 7:00-9:00 p;.m.in Centennial Gym, you can play that team sport.
/
Annette Bruno, a sophomore nursing student, has; organized a
volleyball club for all those students who are interested.
Bruno, a tranfers student from Lehigh , University, was a member of the
volleyball team on that campus. "I didn 't think I'd miss playing so much
because there was no team here, but I did," she said.
Although Bruno hoped to start an inter-collegiate team, she discovered
that starting a team took a lot of time. After speaking to John Trathen,
director of studen t activities and the university union, she decided to
organize the club.
In order to organize the club , Bruno has to develop a constitution and
obtain a faculty advisor. Mr. Gary Clark, an assistant professor in the art
department, was asked to be this advisor .
There are about 20-25 people actively involved in the club. "At the first
meeting there were about 80 people. I was floored. But the size of the
group has decreased since then," remarked Bruno. "People are really
enthusiastic about playing."
A
Bruno hopes that someday the club can play other organizations on
campus, but right now it is just for fun and for learning hew skills and
techniques. Kent Gross, a member of the club, said, "The club helps its
members to develop and refine their volleyball skills."
"The volleyball club can be considered 'power volleyball,"' said Bruno.
Although it can be compared to intramurals, the club is more skillsoriented. Bruno hopes that more experienced people will come, but
people of all abilities are welcome to come 'out, have fun , and learn
something.

BU Falls to Lycoming

TROY SELLERS
The Bloomsburg University football team had everything going for
it. The Huskies had just won the
school's first Pennsylvania Conference Division title, were ranked
f o u r t h in t h e L a m b e r t Meadowlands Eastern ratings for
Division II, and were looking for
the first seven win season by a B.U.
team since 1951. But the Huskies
ran into a buzzsaw at Lycoming's
College Field Saturday, as the
Lycoming College Warriors
collared Bloomsburg with a 24-14
loss.
The loss dropped the Huskies
mark to 6-4 and moved Lycoming's
record to 8-2. Bloomsburg is now
propping for next Saturday 's PC
"State Game" with California
(PA) > a 31-14 winner over Indiana
(PA) . The contest is set for 1:30 in
Hershey Stadium.
Lycoming quarterback Larry
Barretta threw for two touchdowns
and ran for another, as the fired up
warriors completely domina ted the
line of scrimmage and held Bloomsburg to 62 net yards rushing on the
day.
The Warriors broke on top on
their first possession of the game.
After fielding a Bloomsburg punt
on their 36, the Warriors used just
3:34 to march in for the score.
On the drive, Lycoming converted three third downs into first
downs. For the game Lycoming
converted 9 of 16 third downs ( 56percent). A big play was a third
and 10 pass from Barretta to Bob
Delescavage good for 22 yards to
the B.U. 30. Barretta then hit Jim
O'Malley on an out-and-up pattern
for the touchdown on a third and 4
from the 24. Rusty Fricke kicked
the extra point for Lycoming's 7-0
lead.
After the official Lycoming
score, the Huskies answered back
on their next possession, as Jeff
Flickner ripped off a 49 yard touchdown run. The sophomore tailback
took a pitch around left end, made
a nice cutback move and ambled
into the end zone. Flickner gained
112 yards on 16 carries on the day.
Todd Sullivan's PAT tied the score
at 7-7.
The Huskies then took advantage
of a Lycoming muscue to take their
only lead of the game. Frank Sheptock's hit of fullback Joe Parsnik
forced a fumble, which was
recovered by Hank Haidacher at
the LC 23.

A pass interference penalty
moved the ball to the 12, before
Tom Futch carried the ball to the 8.
After a timeout, quarterback Jay
Dedea hit fullback Brian Scriven in
the right flat. Scriven broke a
tackle and got into the end zone
with 4:08 left in the quarter.
Sullivan was again good on his kick
for a 14-7 BU lead.
Lycoming came back to tie the
score before the half as Barretta
hit O'Malley from 13 yards out. The
Warriors took advantage of great
field position on the BU 36, due to a
personal foul penalty .
After two rushes gained 14 yards
to the BU 22, another personal foul
put the ball on the 11, Two plays
later Barretta rolled-right, scrambled toward the line of scrimmage
and then found O'Malley in the
back of the end zone. Fricke's PAT
tied the score with 7:03 left before
the half.
Tony Woods ' seventh interception of the year set Bloomsburg up for an opportunity to
take the lead midway throught the
third quarter .
The Huskies took over at the LC
44 and moved to the 3 yard line in
seven plays. Dedea gained a huge
chunk of that with a 20 yard run
from the 31 to the 11. The run was
costly, however, as he suffered
possible fractured ribs on the
tackle. After Flickner and substitute quarterback Mike Glovas
each gained 4, the Huskies were
faced with a fourth down and 2 at
the 3 yard line.
Sullivan came on for a tiebreaking field goal, but Brian McNamara broke through the line and
blocked the kick.
Lycoming then used two Bloomsburg turnovers to take control of
the game. Linebacker Chicky
Pollick recovered a Flickner fumble on the LC 40 to get the Warriors
started. They used 4:02 and nine
plays to move in for the score.
Parsnik (23 rushes-75 yards )
gained 20 yards on the ground,
while Barretta gained 13 on the
ground, including the final 7 for the
touchdown. He also had a good day
rushing with 73 yards on 18 attempts. Fricke's extra point put
Lycoming up 21-14 with 12:33 tp
play.
Glovas then got Bloomsburg
moving on what looked like would
be a game tying drive. From his

Huskies Se ek Re venge
and State Titi e

JOANNE HUNSICKER
Staff Writer
A State Championship, at the beginning of the 1984 football season was
a dream. But two months later, with five seconds left on the clock and a
Hail Mary pass play, it became reality.
The team Bloomsburg will host at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, (PSAC ) Championship will be the Vulcans of California. Bloomsburg has never been to a PSAC Championship game. California played
East Stroudsburg in 1968 to a 28-28 draw.
After the pandemonium subsided, the coaches and team realized that
there was an extended week of hard practices ahead of them before Hershey.
The Huskies and the Vulcans met in the seventh game of the season.
The Huskies opened the game with a 14 point lead, but could not push the
ball over in the second half.
"California scored on the kickoff after our second touchdown and
gained the momentum that carried them through out the game. Kevin
Russell, the Vulcans quarterback , got California 's passing attack rolling
in the second half and was the major factor in their win," said Hank
Haidacher, a Husky football player.
The Huskies outplayed the Vulcans statistically but lost 24-14. Bloomsburg outgained California 406 to 291 in total yards, but lost four out of five
fumbles to stop key drives.
The Vulcans will bring into Hershey the PSAC career record holder in
passing, Russell. "The Husky defense will need a great effort and put a
lot of pressure on Russell for us to come out ahead in this game," said
Dwayne Hoffman , Huskies outside linebacker.
The Huskies have the tools to stop the Vulcans. The Husky defense is
ranked number two against rushing, and number one against both
passing and total defense.
The key to the Husky offense is sophomore signal call Jay Dedea .
Dedea 's 373 yards passing against West Chester showed he is one of the
top quarterbacks in the Eastern Division. His main target is Joe Dowd,
the Huskies leading receiver. Dowd suffered an ankle injury in the
Lycoming game, but should be ready for the Championship game.
The Huskies are coming off a tough loss to Lycoming, 24-14 and the
Vulcans are going to the Championship game after a 31-14 upset win over
Indiana University of Pennsylvania . The PSAC Championship game will
be played in Hershey Stadium on Nov. 17.
