jAcademic strategy for the 1990's
with an -emphasis on noncomplacency for the remainder of
this decade was the primary issue
at 1, the university planning commission meeting last Thursday.
tllig :;; :Provost and . Vice
President for Academic Affairs,
Kaylan Ghosh, told committee
members that BU needs to take
initiative steps now in order to ensure success for the future. Citing
the university's present position of
strength within the state system of
higher education, Ghosh said a
solid vstai^gv^poiftt has been
established.
"The fact that we are working
from a strong situation can only
serve as a plus in strategic planning," he said. "To capitalize on
this aspect we must avoid complacency and take the actions
necessary to help the university
adapt to the future trends of
society."
According to Ghosh , the
challenges BU will face in the next
decade include—an increase in
competition with state universityies due to a projected steep
decline of 18-21 year old students,
revblurttiohary changes in
technology that will influence
businesses and industry, and new
demands on the quality and
productivity of the university.
Using an outline prepared by
George Keller, who served as a
consultant on the state system of
higher education for former BU
president, James McCormick, in
1982, Ghosh stressed the importance of marketing techniques,
and bold decision making as
significant factors BU must utilize
if it hopes to progress in the next
ten years. "They way we present
ourselves as a university, and
make decisions that aren 't always
popular, but could be beneficial,

Lawyer tries to prevent problems

STACY TARAGNA
Staff Writer
Although the town newspaper
cites numerous problems between
students and landlords, the attendance at last Tuesday evening's
meeting with campus lawyer, John
Flick, defied this. Fourteen Bloomsburg University students met with
Flick to discuss leases and landlords.
Flick was disappointed with the
turnout, especially since most
problems between student tenants
and landlords deal with leases.
"Students get into yearly
leases," said Flick, "and they
never intended to rent the full
year." Flick said only sign a lease

for the amount of time you will be
there. "Don't lock yourself into
long term leases," he said.
Students go as a group of five or
six people to sign a lease, Flick
said. But what many don't realize
is if one student doesn't show up,
the remaining tenants are responsible for his share of the rent. They
aren't released from paying the full
amount of rent stated on their contract.
According to Flick, the best way
for students to rent from landlords
is to sign individual leases. This
way each tenant is only obligated
for his own amount.
"In real life you don't pay three or
four month's rent in advance," he

said. "You only pay monthly.
Students should be allowed to do
this also,'' said the lawyer.
However, the only way to do this
is to get enough students to refuse
to pay for an entire semester's rent
at once. And landlords may hold
the cards in this game, especially
since there is limited off-campus
housing for the number of students
wanting to leave the dorms.
Flick quickly pointed out that individual leases may be easier to obtain with the new zoning laws.
Some areas of town can't house
more then three unrelated occupants in a dwelling.
Town officials are investigating
off-campus houses and Flick advised students to check with their
landlord to avoid future hassles.
"Make sure your place of occupancy is an approved dormitory, "he said.
Paying rent on a monthly basis
also keeps landlords honest, the
lawyer told students. He said when
you pay the full amount of rent at
the beginning of the semester , the
landlord doesn't have any incentive
to make promised repairs on the
house.
Most of the headaches students
get is because the landlord has all
the money and doesn't make
repairs. Flick said, "try to
withhold some money till midway
through the semester and make
sure the landlord makes repairs. "
Students should also inspect the
premises before signing a lease.
Flick recommended taking pictures of the apartment before
moving in. This serves as proof of
what the dwelling looked like
before the students moved in.
"Landlords take advantage of
security deposits," said the lawyer .
"They find some kind of damage
that must be paid for. But if you
have pictures of the condition of the
house before you moved in , he can't
charge you for damages you didn't
do," Flick said.
He also told students to make
sure they tell their landlord in
writing their new address. Otherwise, the landlord is not obligated
to return any security deposit.

Editorial

BLOOM COUNTY

Who's in charge here? Really in charge? This is addressed to you.
This staff just debated , hopefully for the last time, the idea of reverting
back to publishing two times a week. The big problem is a lack of
adequate staff that keeps good copy coming in. At the beginning of the
semester we had quite a few people show up at our first couple of
meetings interested in becoming a part of this paper , and now we're hurting. Why? Simple, there's no incentive to be on this staff.
For upwards of 12 years this staff paid , in the form of an honorarium ,
its top eight or nine staff members each semester. The big money was
$150, not much, just a little incentive to get people to apply themselves
and work hard for the paper. The University of Minnesota pays its editor
$3,000.
CGA put an end to that. I'm not pointing a finger at them as being the
source of the problem because with everything else on this campus, every
few years people and opinions change and there's nothing that can be
done about it. Besides, most college papers are independent and there's
no reason why this one couldn 't be. And since we are partially funded by
CGA we must abide by their rules.
The fact still remains, who wants to work for us? It's very demanding
work that thrusts upon you an enormous amount of responsibility . If
you 're called for pass interference you could lose a game, if you make a
mistake in print , you could end up in court. As many members of this
paper have, and who's to say who's next?
Working for a newspaper is an extension of classroom work, not a
recreation. If you're a glutton for punishment and you like running, you
join the cross-country team. Here, you write, edit and learn syntax, not
what I call recreation.
Credit for the staff is a good idea , but only in theory . It would be very
difficult to give academic credits because work is done independently. To
keep a staff for a year round activity such as this, you need something
more. According to the Society for Collegiate Journalists, 85 percent of all
college newspapers that publish 3 or more times a week pay their staffs .
We have just received a letter from the Downtown Bloomsburg
Business Association stating that their 42 members would like to advertise with us. If we are forced to cut back to two times a week, we lose a
large percentage of them and get further away from independence. A
hundred dollars a semester for the top staff members, out of our own advertising budget, would be the added incentive that we need to keep new
staff members with us. But we can't do that , or can we?
One last word to the administration. According to our faculty advisor ,
when the New England States Accrediting Association comes around to
evaluate this university, the very first thing they ask for is a copy of the
last 12 issues of the newspaper. What would happen if there was no
paper? I'll tell you what would happen . This university would receive a
lower rating in the Association's publication for high schools. Thus, less
students would have Bloomsburg recommended to them by their guidance counselors, enrollment would drop, tragedy , less bucks.

It was the start of another fall
semester at Bloomsburg University. Residents of Columbia Hall
filed into their first all-hall
meeting, anxious to get the formality over with.
Residents started at the R.A.s
seated at the front, sizing them up.
They all looked pretty average —
like R.A.'s usually looked. A young ,
quiet-looking blond stood up and
asked for their attention. She
looked like a sophomore , maybe a
junior. Just as students began wondering what floor she was on , she
said, "Hi. My name is Carol Courtney, and I'm the Resident Director
here in Columbia this year." It
wasn 't too much different in Montour Hall when students were introduced to Tom Kresch.
The two Bloomsburg alumni
have returned to campus, but not
merely to visit friends or remember good times past , but to work.
Kresch was a Bloomsburg
student from 1977 to 1981. He was a
receptionist , resident advisor
(R.A.) , Senior R.A., and graduate
assistant for one semester.
Kresch received his graduate
degree in student personnel services from Ohio University, where
he was also a full-time resident

director .
A 1982 Bloomsburg graduate,
Courtney was an R.A., assistant to
Orientation Director John Scrimminger, a Human RelationsMinority Recruiter from 1982-1983,
and was also a graduate assistant.
While earning a 1984 graduate
degree in student personnel services at Slippery Rock, Courtney
also participated in an Academic
Support System and directed a
Human Potentials Seminar.
Kresch enjoys his staff and
residents at Montour. He worked as
an R.A. on a coed staff , then as a
resident director of an all-male
freshman building at Ohio, and is
glad to return to a coed building.
Courtney is also happy to return
to Bloomsburg. He said, "I love
this job. I really do. I like the contact with the students — I really
missed it. It helps you stay young.''
Resident directors are also
required to be involved in activities
outside their hall, Kresch will participate on the Food Service committee, as well as advising Greek
life, for which he will draw on his
experience as a Zeta Psi brother.
"I won't be with the fra ternity a lot.

system."
Courtney will also contribute her
time to many groups, including
Hall Council, the Association of
Resident Students, and some
special responsibilites, including
revising the R.A. manual, the
Residence life manual, and compiling a housing brochure for incoming freshmen.
Although it has only been three
years since he graduated,, Kresch
has noticed some subtle difference
in Bloomsburg. In his opinion ,
students care more about their appearance, from physical fitness to
fashion-consciousness. He has also
found a shift in attitudes. "There's
no doubt — students are more
serious about coursework. They
realize that a degree doesn't
guarantee a job,anymore, he said.
Courtney has also noticed a few
differences since she left two years
ago. She believes that students are
more "open" now, especially about
their personal beliefs and ethics.
She notices that R.A.s are closer
and more supportive now too, not
just within buildings , but campuswide.
. Both Kresch and Courtney seem
to have the same major goal for
this year — more programming for
the students, and better quality too.
"I want programming to be more
creative. 'Educational' programs
don't have to be a dirty word,"
Kresch said. "Residence halls are
living and learning environments,
and we can achieve this primarily
through programming."
The staffs of Columbia and Montour both seem satisfied with their
residence directors. "We can all
talk to her, especially the studen-

ts," said Nettie Lewis, senior .R.A.
of Columbia. "There 's^„no
generation gap. With Carol, it^s like

skid Although the time was short,
tie picked out a pamphlet about
Philippineo's, enabling him to
know a bit about the country .
Pam Robbins, a junior , said she
was impressed by the type of

women wear. She said even though
some international students from
BU have talked to them about their
culture, she never knew there were
more than 15 international students
on BU campus. She said it was interesting sharing in the cultures of
other countries. Pam remarked
that they think that foreign students speak a little bit fast.
"The rice and the egg roll I ate
here tasted differently from the
type my mother cooks," said Chris
Ray, grade 8. "I like the design of
the Philippineo postal stamps, hence I have taken some to show my

Generally, the students of MHS
expressed their views about the
food, language, soccer, buildings
and the newly introduced game
(cricket) on BU campus, and urge
other high schools to copy their
example by learning foreign
cultures from IRC on BU campus.
Turning to IRC, the students of
MHS urge them not to relent their
efforts in sharing their cultures
with Americans.
The Internatinal Relations Day
was attended by about 350 students
from grades 7-12, and faculty members.
In his address to the students of
MHS and the students of IRC, An-

thony Sylvester the faculty adviser
of IRC, said he was short of words
to express the enthusiasm shown
by both parties. He said he knows
that the international students are
willing to interact with American
students and that they will be
willing to come back whenever
they are wanted. At this point,
Sylvester was interrupted* by applause from the students of MHS;
"We want them back, we want
them back."
Expressing his gratitude on the

opportunity offered the MHS, by
the IRC, and BU, John Laidecker
the coordiantor of the program at
MHS said he was happy for the opportunity offered them by the club
to expose their students to foreign
cultures. From what he has , observed said Laidecker, learning a
language is not just reading from
books but speaking with other
people and that he hopes programs
of this nature would give the
students of MHS the opportunity to
speak with other people.

All students are invited to meet
with representatives from various
industries, organizations, and
graduate schools as part of the
Career Fair on Tuesday, Nov. 20, 14 p.m. in multipurpose room A.
"The purpose of the fair is to
bring representatives to campus so
that students can ask questions,"
says Carol Barnett, assistant director of career development.
Invitations are sent out to
businesses, after looking at the
number of majors in a specific
field. "We always make an effort to
get a cross-section of businesses,"

says Barnett.
"Those who come for the first
time usually come back to
recruit," says Barnett. The purpose of the Career Fair is not for
recruiting, but for information purposes.
Some of the 33 representatives
coming are : The Citizen's Voice,
Kellogg's Sales Co., Wyeth Labs,
Commonwealth Bank, Geisinger
Medical Center and Penn State
University.
The fair provides students to
make contacts , learn about

"This year's squad is the strongest and most talented group of women
I've ever had at Bloomsburg," said "women's swim team head coach
Mary Gardner. "We are probably looking at one of the toughest schedules
in our program 's history, but we are probably more ready this year than
we have been in the past.
The Huskies this year are split right down the middle with half the team
comprised of upperclassmen and half freshmen. According to Gardner,
she had a great recruiting year with nine fine swimmers showing up for
the first practice.
The returnees will be led by AU-Americans Gwen Cressman, Sue Mcintosh, and co-captains Kelly Knaus and Colleen Grimm.
Senior Dana Grubb and sophomore Patty Boyle both were national
qualifiers last season and look to be probable contenders this year.
Karen Bowers and Connie Maximo, both sophomores, swim backstroke
and breaststroke respectively . They and senior Diane Muntzer round out
the upperclassmen on the team.
Three PIAA state finalists top the list of freshmen looking to make a

TROY SELLERS
Sports Writer
After the Bloomsburg University
football team shut out Lock Haven
23-0 on September 15, I wrote that
"...a lot of points by an offense is
nice, but defense wins championships." And as the' Huskies
head into Saturday's ( November
17) 25th Annual Pennsylvania Conference championships game at
1:30 p.m. in Hershey, the Bloomsburg defense will need to be at the
top of its game to stop the red-hot
Vulcans of California University.
California comes into the game
riding a six game winning streak,
including last week's 31-14 win over
Indiana , in a game that decided the
PC West. California has averaged
22.6 points per game this season,
and sports a quarterback that has
practically rewritten his school's
passing record book, and has also
set several conference passing
marks.
That quarterback is senior Kevin
Russell. The 6-1, 180 lb. Russell has
completed 204 of 358 passes for
2,385 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Last week against Indiana , Russell
was 27 of 49 for 258 yards and two
touchdowns.
Russell's favorite target is tight
end Gary Bero. The junior has
caught 40 passes for 531 yards and
five scores. Wide receiver Tim
Pietrcollo has also had a big year
with 37 receptions for 622 yards and
four touchdowns. Tailback Chris
Henthorn is also above the 30 catch
mark with 32 for 260 yards.
When the Vulcans defeated
Bloomsburg 24-14 on the seventh
week of the season, Russell led CU
from a 14-0 deficit by hitting Pietrcollo for one touchdown and
rushing for another.
The Husky defense, which has
given up 15.1 points per game, will
need to slow down the Vulcans'
powerful attack for BU to be successful. Leading that defense is AllAmerican linebacker Frank Sheptock. The 6-1, 210 lb. junior is the
Huskies top tackier with 125. He is
by far the team 's defensive point
leader with 207 V2 . Fellow
linebacker Jake Williams , a
sophomore , is Bloomsburg 's
second leading tackier with 59.
Junior Tony Woods leads the team
with seven interceptions from his
cornerback spot, while Jim Tyson
anchors the defensive, line with 47
'tackles ; •¦• •:¦ - ' : :

On the season the Huskies have
given up an average of 250.1 yards
per game. A mark to look for in
California 's offensive output is .289.
Bloomsburg is 1-4 in games , that the
opponent has gained that many
yards or more.
Offensively the Huskies can look
to either of two quarterbacks.
Sophomore Jay Dedea, who took
over the starting chores in the
eighth week of the season, has completed 62 of 124 passes for 901 yards. Dedea has eight touchdowns
and has thrown only three in:
terceptions. Dedea injured his ribs
in Bloomsburg's 24-14 loss to
Lycoming last week. If he gets injured again, head coach George
Landis will go to junior Mike
Glovas. Glovas was ranked among
the top NCAA Division II quarterbacks much of the season, and
has completed 88 of 154 tosses for
1,056 yards.
Senior tight end Brian
Bidelspach has been the team's
leading receiver tyrgughgut jhg
year. He has caught 24 passes for
347 yards. Wide receiver Joe Dowd,
23 for 431, flanker Ken Liebel, 22 for
325, and tight end Kevin Grande, 15
for 323, have all had outstanding
receiving years.
The Huskies' leading rushers
have been trying to perform with
injuries all season long. Sdphompre,
tailback Jeff Flickner leads the
team with 641 yards on 134 carriers
(4.8 yards per carry). Fullback,
Calvin Robinson has 363 yards on 80
attempts, but has been used,
sparingly lately due to a shoulder
injury. Sophomore Brian Scriven
has filled in for Robinson with 229
yards on 75 carries. Flickner and
Scriven also provide good targets
for BU quarterbacks, as the two
have caught 14 and 15 passes
respectively.
The California defense has been
on a roll lately. Head coach Jeff
Petrucci's defensive unit has given
up just 11.3 points per game during^
their current winning streaky
Junior linebackers Frank Vulcano
and Rick Ley lead, the team in
tackles. Vulcano is tops with 120.
Strong safety Jim Snyder and cornerback Duke Zack have combined;
for six interceptions.
Bloomsburg enters the game
with a 6-4 overall mark after winning the PC East at 5-1. California,
on the other hand, has a 7-3 mark,
4-2 in the PC West.
