r Quof e of the Day . . - INSIDE FRIDAY: You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. Elbert Hubbard t • __ 4 —Student films —Theater of the Deaf Student population causes overcrowded conditions GARY L. WESSNER JR. News Editor An annual problem • confronted those working at the Office of Residence Life when the university opened for the 1985 spring semester. There were more students than dormitory rooms to accommodate them. "The situation came about because of a number of circumstances," says Jenny Carpenter, director of residence life. Last semester a decision was made hot to allow students to break their housing contracts. This move "regrettably" was one cause of the complex problem according to Carpenter . To add to this, there were not as many academic dismissals or students who transferred to other universities. Also, as of last semester, the university demanded the payment of all back tuition and fees which students owed, otherwise they weren't allowed to register for the spring semester. The university sent out 269 bills to students, but assumed that not all students could come up with the money to pay. At this time the Residence Life Office anticipated there would still he empty rooms even after all new freshmen arrived. "We agreed to house 45 transfer students and 15 people who didn't want to live off campus," says Carpenter. "I made a mistake. I knew I did once the business office told me that all 269 bills were paid," commented Carpenter. When the university opened Sunday January 13th by the end of the day the dorms had 166 students tripled, 30 new freshmen in study lounges and 22 freshmen living with resident advisors (RAs). Employees at the Residence Office made phone calls to students living off campus and those who expressed a prior interest of moving off campus were now given the opportunity. They hoped to find vacancfes for those freshmen who must live in a dormitory. Those who were living with RA's were moved out first for a number of reasons. "Part of the RA's job is to talk to kids individually if necessary," says Carpenter. "Students sometimes go to the RA's room to be alone because there really isn't any other place to get away from it all at Bloomsburg." "Most of the RAs understood the situation while others asked "Why me?" when asked to take a roommate," according to Curtissa Scarlett, resident dean of Elwell. On the other hand, resident advisor contracts state that they may get a roommate the first couple days of a semester. Another thing to keep in mind is the need to be with peers, make friends and find future roommates as freshmen entering college. Living with an upperclassman just doesn't provide these conditions for some. Some freshmen in study lounges have mixed feelings about the whole ordeal. There are a few students "up in the air" about future changes according to Scarlett, "When I first arrived on Sunday I didn't know what was going on," says Lynda Kugel. "I hated it at first." The study lounge Kugel and .her roommate share has no place to Robert Williams looks over his crowded study lounge. connect a phone or mirrors. "We were billed the same amount as everyone else, but we don't have everything that the others have," says Kugel. Since some of the study lounges were arranged to accommodate students to live there, residents are given a limited choice as where to study. For instance , Elwell residents must now use either the ground floor lounge, study lounges on the west wings of the building or their rooms. This is an unusual circumstance , but residents are assured by Carpenter that it is doubtful they'll ever go through this again. BU cracks down on tardy payments TERRI QUARESIMO Staff Writer Paying tuition is not always easy. It can be a struggle for students to arrange for the funds needed for a college education. Sometimes a student cannot pay his semester bill right away. When this happens , a large account's receivable balance can accumulate. There is now a problem for both students and administrators. This is exactly what happened during Fall Semester , 1984. It is one of the contributing reasons for the current on-campus housing problem. According to Micheal Robatin, the Director of Accounting, approximately 300 students owed approximately $425,000in back tuition late last semester. The administrators decided to act by sending notices encouraging students to pay bills. The notice, sent in November, had a December 14 deadline. If payments were not made by then, students would not be allowed to register for the current Spring Semester. As a result of the notice,- a large portion of the debt was erased. Currently, 84 students owe $47,000 for last semester. These students have proof that the money will be coming soon. It was thought, however, that not as many students would respond , and some would be forced to withdraw. Hence, the over crowdedness on campus became a reality. Bloomsburg University has previously been lenient with their tuition payment schedules. Studen' "V ' '¦ . . (Continuedon Page 3) . :, IDITORIAL ¦> ¦ The unheralded heroes of Bloomsburg University. That small group of people who bring the flamboyant world of big-time entertainment to this campus each and every semester. Headed by Jimmy Gilliand, the Kehr Union Program Board , and a staff made up mainly of students, takes on the task of entertaining a diverse group of people of all ages and backgrounds. A job tha t few envy and many complain about. Past accomplishments include such events as the soon-to-be movie classics "48 hrs." and "Gandhi" and musical events featuring everyone from "Pretty Poison" to Jim Lyman. If it's not already, "Entertainment for Everybody" ought to be the slogan of this special, dedicated group of people. Think about it, besides the necks of the people who tell you your schedule is on hold, the calendar of events is the most reached for item at registration. Sure, people want to see what's going on as far as activities are concerned but what's looked at first is the scheduled entertainment events. The Program Board brings us dances, coffeehouses, and comedians. And what good Catholic could possibly go a whole semester without a good, invigorating game of bingo? Events planned this semester include several dances featuring, among others, Experimental Products and the DJ's Total Sound. The popular Dance Marathon is back and if you've never seen a person's face after such a trauma you should try to attend . WinterFest is back with a casino, Battle of the Bands, and an obstacle course. Other events include a Dating Game and a Psuedo-Newlywed Game on Feb. 12 and Mar . 22, respectively. No one's really sure what the "MURPH" Comedy Show is or will be but it's scheduled for April 28. Movies are without a doubt the Program Board's strength. From the first to the last, "Sixteen Candles" to "First Blood", there is truely a wide variety ; something for everyone. The classic drama , "A Street Car Named Desire" brings January to an end and the comedy classic, "Animal House" brings in February . For Barbara Striesand addicts there's a double fix in February with "The Way We Were," and "Yentl ." "Spalsh" sends us on our way for Springbreak and Bond brings us back with "For Your Eyes Only. " Bowie and Prince highlight April. No spiders from Mars in "The Hunger " but a good movie anyway. "Purple Rain ", of course, gave us the number one single and album of 1984. ; Being a member of the Program Board couldn't possibly be an easy job. Each member must certainly put up with a lot of crap, what with people telling them how much they hate Prince and others wondering when they'll find a good comedian. Entertainment is not simple, it's extremely complicated. If you don't like what they've done this year, I'm sure they'd love to see your face next semester. No one will enjoy everything they schedule but you can 't say they don 't try.

Now instead of seeing Mickey Mouse and Goofy, students are watching scenes of church muggings, gas station hold-ups, and "different" kinds of love stories. No, these mini-movies aren 't actual news clips depicting a typical afternoon in New York City, they're Campus Shorts that have been written, acted, filmed, directed and produced by film students here at Bloomsburg University. Walt Roberts, the Program Board 's film committee chairman and a film major here at BU started showing the Campus Shorts because he thought it would be a good way for the student films, created in Dr. Smiley 's film making class, to get some audience exposure. Roberts said, "One day I sat down and thought of what I could possibly contribute to the program board. I wanted something different and innovative so I started showing the Campus shorts." Roberts has shown about six different campus shorts so far this year and said he has received mostly positive responses from them. He said, "I did receive a lot of criticism from the campus short that I made, however. It was a love story about an obese couple and some people became really angry because they thought that my movie was insulting and exploiting fat people. Roberts said that was not his intention at all. His movie was just supposed to be ironic humor. He added , "Two of my friends were the actors and they liked the movie a lot." After a student produces a film in class, .he has the option of keeping it or leaving it for the school to use. Roberts just goes through all the back logs of old films and picks out /COMMITMENT| |g~"M ^L Ifcfc ^Qa F^m AIR FORC E I «BflBBSff»5i«affi"ffi%iB^J?Bffi' Y ^M2 H^Bu A new world of nursing opens when you become an Air Force nurse.

Voice Contributor The two cooling towers, 16 miles from 3 BUP campus, at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Bell Bend, are in imposing sight, but many people in the area are fearful of environmental and healthj damage that may be caused by the nuclear power plant. Dr. \David Superdock, a BUP physitis . professor, - is a firm believer in the use of nuclear energy. To dispel fears of radiation contamination from the nuclear power plant, Superdock has been testing the background radiation at BUP since June 1981. He began the "Environmental Radiation Monitoring Program " 15 months before the operation of the Unit I reactor at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. This gave him a frame of reference for the levels of radiation after the startup of the power plant. "People don't understand that there is always going to be a radiation reading," says Super- Unique (Continued from Page 4) death of one of its members. A sixyear old boy poignantly interprets the events of the tragedy, insisting that his is an orphan or at least half an orphan now that his fa ther is dead. There is as much laughter as there is heartache in the play. David Hays, founder and artistic director of the NTD, was the scenic designer for the original Broadway production of All the Way Home. "It's a homecoming for me," says Hays of his collaboration with Miss Dewhurst on the project. David Hays founded the NTD 17 years ago. Since then, the troupe has been dazzling theatre-goers worldwide with a unique performance style which blends the magic of sign language with the splendor of the spoken word. This season, the NTD is composed of 10 deaf and three hearing actors and each production is a total sensory piece. The audience will hear and see every word. Leading Broadway designer Fred Voelpel has designed the costumes, Betty Beekman the lighting,and Charles Baird the settings , which will take the audience "all the way home" in memory to 1915 Knoxville. The r, Tony Award-winning National Theatre of the Deaf was chosen tgperform at the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival. in Los Angeles dock. The radiation occurs naturally because of radioactive elements in the earth . The 'daily levels of radiation can change because of the weather. "If we have a few days and then we get a sudden shower, radon rises from the ground, increasing the natural radiation," says Superdock. Superdock is happy his findings thus far are consistent because "no news " is good news in this situation. " According to his results, "the operation of the Unit I reactor at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station since September 1982 has thus far not produced any discernable change in total gamma radiation or gamma radiation profile at this location." To measure the background radiation, Superdock employs a Reuter-Stokes RSS-111 Environmental Radiation Monitor. This monitor continuously counts the radiation and records it onto strip charts. At the end of the week, he adds the daily totals for comparison to other weeks. last summer. The theatre received critical acclaim for sold-out performances of "The Hero With a Thousand Faces." Tickets for the performance can be reserved by calling 717-389-3900 or,by mail or in person at the box office located in the Kehr Union Building. The box office is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The lack of change in the levels or radiation doesn't satisfy skeptics of nuclear energy. "Some people say, ok, we're not getting more radiation, maybe we're getting a different kind," said Superdock. To check the different types of radiation, Superdock uses an Eberline Regulated Air Sampler located on top of Hartline Science Center. "The air sampler is operated for an interval of seventy-two hours, drawing air at a rate of seventy liters , per minute through two filters ," says Superdock. Every two weeks the filters are removed and the samples are subjected to a twenty-four hour count with a Canberra Series 30 Multichannel Analyzer, according to Superdock. To enhance his ability to identify elements, he recently acquired an Intrinsic Germanium Detector that is opera ted at a liquid nitrogen temperature. "This shows sharper peaks (on the graph ) and shows specific radioactive species better ( than the sodium iodine detector ) ," he says. The equipment for Superdock's tests is expensive, totaling over $20,000. "The physics department didn 't have that much money for research so I wrote a proposal to PP&L, and they gave us a grant," he says. All the money from PP&L was for machinery and graph paper ; no one is paid for recording data or operating equipment. Superdock wrote his proposal shortly the Three-Mile-Island incident. "After TMI, people called me and asked if we were measuring radiation. There was so much interest and concern that I had a PP&L representative come to speak," says Superdock. "I told him about my idea and he told me to write a proposal," he says. At the end of each year, Superdock writes a report to PP&L to share his results. Research is important to Superdock but he "really likes teaching, especially the advanced ( physics) courses. I get down sometimes because of student apathy in the energy course but (nuclear energy) is an important area that needs to be understood,"he says. Superdock, a graduate of Bloomsburg and Penn State, is eligible for retirement in a year. "If I retire I'd like to keep up with the research but I wouldn't take a job full-time (in research). I want time to be on my own," he says. "I like to hunt, ski, play tennis, sail, and swim." For a person with many outdoor hobbies, it is understandable that Dr. David Superdock is constantly monitoring the environment.

Manuals are experiencing the biggest decrease since small offices and individuals are upgrading to electrics , businesses are upgrading to electronics and even most consumers are buying electrics. The advent of the electronic typewriter comes 50 years after that of the electri c typewriter. The new kid on the block offers the combination of a t y p e w r i t e r and a microprocessor. Electronics can remember margins, names and dates, while correcting mistakes with ease. The Retrievers of Philadelphia Textile were next on the list and were the third straight opponent to visit BU. They escaped with a 56-55 victory after a Jerome Brisbon jumper with time running out fell short. Wright , Noack and McCullough each scored ten point on the evening. Noack's 15.7 points per game leads the Huskies and he has just recently moved into 15th place on the all-time scoring list at BU. The team is averaging just over 82% from the free throw line to rank first in the Pennsylvania Conference. ?

( Continued on Page 7) Women 's Basketball Inj uries plague Huskies MIKE ALBRIGHT Sports Editor The Bloomsburg University women 's basketball team is currently in the midst of a seven game losing streak and has a 3-8 record for the season. After going 3-1 early in the season and giving Division I Cheyney powerhouse a run for its money before losing by nine, it looked like the Huskies were on a roll. However, the wheels fell off the cart during the Shippensburg game as the Huskies fell 72-71. The team's leading scorer and rebounder, Jean Millen, suffered a knee injury that prematurely ended her season. After the loss to the Red Raiders, BU traveled to West Virginia to play in the eight team Davis and Elkins Tournament . At this points, the Huskies were without Millen and point guard Kris Zimmerman, who left the team after the first semester. Then reserve point guard Michelle Rowe was declared academically and Coach Hibbs ' roster was cut to seven players. Hibbs was forced to use some relatively inexperienced players. Freshman frontliner Amy Wolf was moved into the starting lineup and reserve forward Kim Joerger became the top player off the bench. The Davis and Elkins Tourney proved to be a tough trip for the Huskies as they fell to Norfolk St. 71-48 and PC Western Division foe Slippery Rock 87-57. BU returned home to start the second s e m e s t e r ag a i n s t Philadelphia Textile and lost a tough 72-65 loss before falling to West Chester 84-71 in overtime at West Chester. Coach Hibbs added forward Susan Kocher and guards Sabrina McChesney and Sally Yost to the roster to fill the open spots due to the loss of two more players to injuries. Lori Pisco, who became eligible to play on January 1, was injured on the second day of practice while Christine Pellman suffered an ankle injury. Both injuries required casts. Some of the leading scorers for the team are Jeanne Radcliff (12.6) , Linda King (12.0) and Sarah Hackforth (9.4). Hackforth leads the team in field goal shooting with a 43.2 percent. Radcliff is the leading rebounder, pulling down 8.4 per game. She is also the leading free throw shooter at 70.4 percent while Hackforth is hitting for 68.2 percent to rank second. The Huskies travel to East Stroudsburg tomorrow to play the first game of a men's-women's doubleheader. Jerome Brisbon shoots a fadaway jumper against the Retrievers of UMBC.
