Housing contracts can now be broken for next semester JANE DAVIDSON Staff Writer On-campus students and landlords off campus—they are asking the same question. Is the university really allowing residents to break their housing contracts? According to Linda Zyla, assistant director of Residence Life, this is true. But unlike many people think, this is not out of the ordinary. "We did the same thing last spring too," said Zyla. Last fall , approximately 200 students were not expected to return for the spring semester because of outstanding balances on their bills. "But at the last minute, everyone paid their balances, and there was not enough room for the summer freshmen returning in the January, so we released some women 'from' their housing contracts," said Zyla. To avoid the overcrowding this spring, Residence Life is releasing people now. ''Anywoman can be released immediately since we have so many female summer freshmen returning in January," said Zyla. For male residents the process is different. For every male who applies for on-campus housing, Residence Life will release one male from their housing contract. Zyla advises any on-campus male who wishes to be released should go to Residence Life and get their name on the waiting list. Although students' chances of getting released are quite good, these releases will not go on indefinitely. "There is a cap on the number of students we can release, so any student who is sure that they want to be released should go to Residence Life immediately," reminded Zyla. Elwell Hall wins f irst p lace in Homecoming Hall Decoration Contest LAURA SPECHT Staff Writer On Saturday morning, President Harry Ausprich and the Homecoming Decoration Judging Committee visited the residence halls who participated in the Homecoming Hall Decoration contest. Five out of the seven residence halls entered their ideas to be judged in the 1985's "A Salute to Broadway." Elwell Hall won a first prize plaque and $150 for their interpretation of New YorkCity, complete with Bloomingdales, a taxicab and characters from the longrunning "Wizard of Oz. Columbia Hall won $50 for second place as they led you down "A Walk on Broadway." Taxicabs; a New York City skyline, marquees, trimmed with lights of four of Broadway's most popular shows, sidewalks, fire hydrants and a sold-out ticketron added to the setting. Schuylkill Hall spread the news of their endeavours with a rendition of "New York, New York." Their journey took you down the Holland Tunnel and progressed into Radio City Music Hall (complete with the Rockettes). A bag lady on a picnic bench, a grafitti wall and Mama Leone's gavejust the right touch to bring Schuylkill Hall a third place prize. Other entries included Montour Hall 's "42nd Street" and Northumberland Hall's version of "Grease." Desegregation continues at BU CRYSTAL LALLY Advertising Manager In the 1960's segregation was a major issue. The topic of equal education opportunities circulated throughout the country, as did equal employment. In order to alleviate the problem, the government required desegregation. Pennsylvania was one of the 10 states in 1967 to operate a radically segregated system of higher education. A year later, desegregation activities began at Bloomsburg University. A plan for desegregation was prepared by the Human Relations Planning Committee in 1970, with their goal being-to (continued on page 4) Maroon and Gold Band Kickline members present their picture of Broadway during halftime at Saturday's game.

His fraternity was great; the guys really looked-up to him, the way he could party forever. Then there was his music, he loved playing with his band at the local bar. His best friends, the close ones, all gathered at the bar. When it came time for Billy to leave school, he married and became a father practically simultaneously. He hadn't gotten much out of his education. He just couldn't get and keep a decent job. He longed for a return to college, even if just for the weekend. He could still rely on his friends, somehow he just couldn't . rely on himself. Most of us admired Billy for his looks and happy-go-lucky attitude. Some of us have a lot in common with Billy. Billy had a.drinking problem. As National Alcohol Awareness Week once again approaches, colleges will be criticized for allowing and breeding drinking problems among the leaders of the future. These leaders are you, the college students of today. We're all aware of alcohol, we know *• more about alcohoi than iany generation of students before us, but do we care enough about the effects it has on our lives? The emphasis of this year's Alcohol Awarenessis to educate and inform you, the consumer, in order to lessen or prevent 'slip-ups' due to alcohol. The challenge: make safe drinking an enjoyable additive to chosen social gatherings. Social events can, and do exist without alcohol. Let's start emphasizing the gathering, the people, the social interaction instead of making alcohol the ' ', reason to gather. In an attempt to inform the student body, the Center for Counseling and Human Development will sponsor a discussion with recovering alcoholics on Tuesday, October 22 , from 6:30-8 p.m. in Columbia Residence Hall lounge and from 8-9:30 p.m. in Luzerne Residence Hall lounge. Pamphlets and other information can be obtained from the Alcohol Awareness.

AIDS. Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A topic being covered in every area of media today.It is being coveredbecause of famous actors dying of the disease, innocent children being denied an education because they suffer from this relatively new disease, and new rules and regulations surrounding the treatment and detection of the disease. The United States Military recendy released orders to all service personel that every soldier must be tested for the disease, and if it is discovered that ihey do, in fact, have AIDS, they will be on limited duty, treated for the disease, and then discharged from the military, the discharge being handled through the veteran's administartion. The National Education Association has adopted guidelines for handling AIDS within the educational system. These guidelines will be recommended to all NEA affiliates for use in school districts, colleges, and universities. The NEA recommends: -students or.school employees who have or could transmit AIDS should be permitted to remain in the school setting -a school employer should be able to require a student or school employee to be tested for AIDS -a school employee should be required to teach or provide other personal contact services to an AIDS infected student -information about the condition of an AIDS infected student or school employee should be made available to others. These regulations of both the military and the NEA are showing concern about the disease. A disease that was first associated with homosexuality, that has now pervaded almost every level of society. The regulations are needed , but what is more needed are services such as support systems, and informational seminars for those who find themselves suddenly a victim of one of the most controversial diseases, and the families of those this disease seems to randomly strike. If more people knew more about the disease, maybe it would not have such a stigma about it or sound so taboo. Educating the populus may be the key to controlling and understanding this disease. ' ' So let's bring AIDS out from under cover and show it for what it is...a disease affecting America that is both fri ghtening and frustrating for those who suffer its effects, and those of us who are concerned with how quickly the disease has become widespread and has moved to the forefront of media coverage.

Without life, there is nothing ' Since the birth of the Atomic Age, concern that man has catapulted himself to the edge of annihilation has mushroomed. He has stockpiled large stores of nuclear weapons in the name of preserving peace and guaranteeing social and moral freedoms. On a smaller scale, he persists in buying and selling munitions, in some cases to fight the tyranny of governments, in others to maintain the sovereignty of the ruling organization. And, in the streets, men kill men for loose change and TV's. Is there a difference between murdering for an old woman's purse and warring to protect society? There is only one common denominator shared by all men, one truth which transcends language, religion, race, economic system, philosophy: Life. Our only common ingredient yet we use it as the battleground for our various recipes. Any movement which places a cause above life is false for without life, there is nothing. Everything fought and killed for is without worth , simply because it's accomplished by force or threat. To attempt change with these methods lowers the changers to the level of those they wish to change. Isn't it obvious that you persuade no one by destro)'ing them? The Catholic who shoots the Protestant, the Hindu who stabs the Muslim denies the very thing he believes in, the very thing that Christ, Buddha and Mohammed represent. Isn 't it plain that the same Creator sent all these men as messengers of Love? Disagree, argue, ignore if you must, but please don 't 'kill. Prove the righteousness of your ways by example, not bloodshed . Might makes right is an outdated concept , not worthy of Twentieth-Century Man . Acquiescence through violence breeds fear not respect. In India, Gandhi demonstrated that passive resostance and civil disobedience can combine successfully with patience and sincerity. Seek to change, not destroy. During the Revolutionary War, a man proudly stated that he was not a Virginian but an American. I proclaim that I am not an American but an Earthling, concerned with the state of Earth . We contaminate our planet with pollutants, waste our precious resources, but the saddest crime is the way we throw away ,lqve.,Toreach out and touch someone is not just a good commerical; the fate of Earth lies in the Family of Man , not just with any one country or group of nations. Sometime long, long ago, the Creator made man to share the beauty of creation. To experience the happiness of being alive, the joys of hearing, tasting, seeing, smelling, touhing. Our Maker then gave us the freedom of choice, the gift of free will. Let us work to justify this decision. ' Joe Pugnetti Corporal punishment a crime to some Corporal punishment—thought by many to be a relic of the dark ages—is, in fact, common in many American schools. Recently I did a paper on this subject and found that thousands of pupils from kindergarten through the 12th grade are spanked every school day, sometimes for such trivial offenses as forgetting school supplies, making small academic errors, being late, not finishing their lunches or talking too loudly on the school bus. I would simply like to share the information that I discovered, with you~the readers—future parents, teachers and administrators. Though most of the major urban school districts throughout the country have banned corporal punishment, about 75 percent of school children remain enrolled in districts that permit such punishment: Room to study What are we really here at college for? To study. Studying seems to be a problem on the campus of BU. Not that we don't want to (although sometimes that fact does, hold true), but that we can't find' anywhere to do it. Sure there are plenty of places that can be used to study in , but how many of those are actually good places to study? Let's start with the Kehr Union, going from the bottom floor to the top. The President's Lounge—a good place to study during the day, but the day is filled up with the hassle of going to classes and having to eat meals. The only disadvantage is the constant 'beep' of the Cashstream machine. At night it is a different story. I cannot count on one hand the number of times per week I am kicked out of there for some meeting or reception. The first floor of the Union (the snack bar area) is useless. If there isn't a movie, a dance, or meetings going on, our everpopular Program Board has the widescreen TV turned up so loud that the whole campus can her it (maybe not the whole campus, but at least those in the Union trying to study). The top floor is marginal at best, what with so many meetings in the Coffeehouse, and even when ther,e aren't meetings you have to contend with the to come up and hit her on the buttocks with a paddle.

Kristi Haugh,then' invited theiehtitBClass' Crystal Lally inconsiderate people at WBSC who insist on turnning the studio volume all the way up. The Blue, Gold & Green Rooms are great, but space is tremendously limited. The rest of the campus can be summed up in three words~not enough space. The library is quiet and convenient, but it is often very difficult to find a seat. The dorms have study rooms, but again, they are just not big enough. Studying at home is difficult with roommates around, and when I lived on campus the dorms were just too loud. My ideas for reconciling this problem start with the Union. There should be some sort of limit imposed on the meetings and receptionsthat go on in the Coffeehouse and President's Lounge, such as limiting them to certain nights of the week or to before 9 p.m. The widescreen could easily be turned way down, as could the stereo at WBSC. Regarding the library, I think the school should take the thought of expanding it a little more seriously. If you have any other suggestions, or dare to think I am in the wrong, please send them to The Voice.

LORI LEONARD Executive Editor • It is possible to start a business with no money and no risk, says Mark Chamberlain, vice-president and trust officer for First Eastern Bank. And Chamberlain intends to provethat to the students in his seminar at Bloomsburg University by actually starting three businesses. The first business getting off the ground is a house-sitting service which is done in other areas across the nation . For a small fee per night , a vacationing couple can have a student or an elderly person take care of their house, pets, and plants , and even prevent theft while they are away, as an empty house tends to invite robbery. Chamberlain is starting this service in an area covering Wilkes Barre, to Danville, to Hazelton and Bloomsburg, and is looking to staff the service with all col • lege students. ' 'I am asking any student involved to meet certain requirements for application ," said Chamberlain. "The student must have a 3.0 or better GPA, be involved in one or more student activities, give at least 4 solid references, and sign a noncompetition agreement which states that the student may not form his or her own sitting service within a year.''

Plans for construction of new residence halls at Bloomsburg and . East Stroudsburg Universities and acceptance of an existing building at the Venango Campus of Clarion University were approved by the SSHE Board of Governors at the October 15, 1985, quarterly meeting. Bloomsburg University has long planned an additional facility for its students. Approximately 40 percent of the 6,400 students in attendance currently live off campus. According to University officials, the new Bloomsburg residence hall will be an apartment-like complex, unlike the traditional housing now on campus. As such, the dormitory will be more self-sufficient, requiring minimal housekeeping and custodial services. The East Stroudsburg facility will meet housing needs that are termed "critical" by the University.East Stroudsburg currently has a student enrollment of .4,200. Acquisiton of the Venango Cumpus facility by the SSHE is contingent upon presentation of a clear deed and after proposed renovations have been accomplished. Clarion University and the Clarion Foundation plan to acquire the property known as Montgomery Hall, which consists of 1.38 acres of land and a four-story masonry structure of 35,000 gross square feet,. The ultimate goal of the Clarion Foundation, upon completion of renovations, is to convey the building and land to the System. After obtaining the parcel , the Foundation will receive a $200,000 gift to refurbish the first and second floors of the building into classrooms and faculty offices. This additional space is deemed important to support existing programs on the branch campus. Long range plans call for the top two floors to be used as a residence hall to support the institution's nursing program. The building was constructed in 1966 by a private investment group primarily as a residence hall, but has been closed since May 1981. Have a suggestion, idea, or plan to improve some phase of campus operations? Pick up an Employee Incentive Program Suggestion Form at the Personnel Office and write down your idea. The Employee Incentive Program Committee will study your suggestion, request a feasibility study if deemed necessary, and forward their recommendations to Vice President Parrish. If your suggestion is selected for recognition, you will be invited to attend a meeting of the Council of Trustees where you will be presented with a $50 savings bond and then invited to have dinner with the President, the Vice Presidents and the council members. (Please note—this program is for staff employees only. Also, awards cannot be made for suggestions regarding personal grievances, classification and pay of positions, or matters requiring legislative action.) Desegregation (continued from page 1) increase minority student enrollment from one percent to two percent. Although in the early 1970's only blacks were considered minorities; today, minorities include American Indians, Alaskan natives, Asians , Pacific Islanders, Blacks and Hispanics as defined by the Human Relation Action Plan. In 1984, the goal was for freshman minorities to represent six percent of the student body. A court order had established this goal for the entire state system. Court orders occur when there has been neglect in the past , and when the university shows they can control the program without surveillance , the government will drop the court order; however, the program must remain in effect. Since the program began , the name has changed from the Human Relations Planning Committee to the Affirmative Action Committee. The purpose of this committee is to ' 'provide a diverse ^ulturaljplaTT, ,^du,c,atioTial programming and a diverse student body," said Vice President of Institutional Advancement John Walker. According to the 1983-84 Human Relations Action Plan progress report , approximately $30,000 of university resources are allocated for recruitment and retention of minority students and employees. "Ten thousand dollars is specifically set aside for recruiting black faculty and administrative staff at BU." There are numerous individual programs that attempt to better the recruitment and retention of minority students. Among these are the College Sampler which allows "50 academically gifted black high school juniors to attend BU for one week free of charge." Others include orientation samplers, forums to discuss more effective minority programs , mentor programs to make freshman feel more comfortable with college , faculty exchange programs for minority employment, tuition remission for talented students and housing that is available to minority seniors. ' , Insights into characters of 'Agnes of God BELLE HIMES Voice Contributor AGNES OF GOD is a controversial play about an occurrence in a convent involving a pregnant nun. The director and actors from this play have disclosed their feelings about the play and the characters they portray. Interview with Marnell Lutz(Director) Interviewer: As the director of AGNES OF GOD, what do you want people to know about this play before they see it? M.L. : There is a power struggle between the psychiatrist, "Dr. Martha Livingstone," and the Mother Superior, "Mother Miriam Ruth ,"over "Agnes", a novice in the convent. They are trying to discover who fathered her child and whether:it was man or Divine Power. Interview with Lisa Landis(Agnes) Int.: \bu are now in rehearsals as "Agnes" in AGNES OF GOD. What kind of person is she? - L.L:: She is very innocent and naive. Her mother never informed her about babies, menestruation, or anything about the world. She is inhibited and frightened about what has happened to her until the psychiatrist, "Dr. Martha Livingstone", encourages her to talk about it. She has a mother irnage in "Mother Miriam Ruth" who gives her a feeling of security. Interview with Gail Lynch(Mother Miriam Ruth) Int. : What kind of person is Mother Miriam Ruth as you see her, now that you 've gotten inside her, studied her? G.L. : She is strong, caring, looking for lost miracles with all of these qualities directed towardsAgnes. Being the Mother Superior in the convent, she likes being in control which puts her at odds with the psychiatrist, Dr. Martha Livingstone. . answers from page 9 Int.: How do you feel playing this role? G.L.: Good , we Aries people have strong personalities. Not being interrested in sports, I see acting as a catharsis- an outlet for love, anger, etc. That 's why I like ensemble acting as opposed to the "star" situation. Interview with Mary Brunton (psychiatrist) _J Int. : Now that you 've been into this role of the psychiatrist "Dr. Martha Livingstone", what are your thoughts about her as a personality? M.B.: Her past keeps her from being fully inbiased as a psychiatrist. She sees her sister in"Agnes" and her mother in"Mother Miriam Ruth". She wants to save "Agnes'i¦ where she failed with her ¦ -. sister. How do you feel about playing this "> part? , M.B. : It ?s exciting. This is such a complex role with many outlets. I'll work hard to be positive about it. All those involved in this production are working so well together. Gail Lynch is a great help with all the confrontations we have in the play. This Bloomsburg Player Production will take place in the Forum on the third floor of the McCormick Human Services Building on Oct. 24, 25, 26 at 8 p.m. Gay awareness prografri 'Tor heterosexuals only ' denounces stereotypes From the Center for Counseling and Human Developement "I've been beaten up and shot at, nothing you say is going to phase me." The words of Roger Beatty, a gay rights activist , as he asked for stereotypical descriptions of gay men and lesbian women. Beatty, a member of the Governors Council on Sexual Minorities, along with Candice Kryzwicki, from the Women Training and Support Program in Harrisburg, presented an informal lecture For Heterosexuals Only ", sponsored by The Center for Counseling and Human Development. Beatty began with a discussion of the list of seemingly negative terms. Trac- . ing the words back through history, he found positive support for such terms as 'faggot', 'dyke', and 'Butch'. Faggot, a bundle of kindling wood, was commonly used to start the fire under an accused witch. Lesbians were often accused of being witches because they were different. Men accused of being homosex- ual , at that time were also burned. Their bodies, however, were used along with the faggots of wood to start the fire. Hence, the term 'faggot' has been used to refer to homosexual men. The men were willing to die for their beliefs, Beatty said the term could, therefore ve used with pride. Dyke is a derivation of the name' of a Roman goddess, who along with her female warriors, defended a kingdom against an onslaught of male soldiers. The term 'dyke' thereforerefers positively to female strength and courage. 'Butch', a term for a lesbian woman , stems from history also. 'Gay' bars have commonly been placed in the 'bad' or dangerous sections of a town.

Each playerjust guesses which horses they think will come in first, second, and third place, for each race, before the movies begin. All the guesses are then recorded on the betting sheets. Points will be awarded if the horses come in in the same position chosen by the player. At the end of all the races, the players with the most points get the opportunity to choose from a variety of prizes. Be prepared for an authentic race track experience.

'BYE, GARFIELD: Far Side brand of humor on a poster of heaving, huffing and puffing.. Many of his strips feature reptiles, insects and most members of the animal world, and he usually tries "to turn the tables between animals and humans. An example of giving animals the upper hand is in a comic where he has a dog begging for scraps in an operating room . ' Larson explains that he is always barraged with mail asking him to explain what a certain comic means. "If I saw a cartoon and didn't get it, I'd just pass it over," he said. "Of course," he added, "I am not trying to deny there are things in "The Far Side'' that are not exactly what you would find in "Garfield" or "Nancy," to use the real stark contrast." Larson broke into the cartooning world in 1978 with a weekly panel called "Natures Way" in The Seattle times. It was killed a year later after complaints about its unnatural subject matter. In 1979 Larson marched his cartoons into the offices of The San Francisco Chronicle and walked out with a fiveyear contract with the Chronicle syndicate. Today, collections of his inside-out view of reality-"The Far Side and ''Beyond the Far Side'' along with three other books—have been best sellers and his cartooning earns him a six-figure income. Larson earned a degree in communications from Washington State University in 1972. "Whenever I try to tell someone one of my cartoon ideas, I invariably end up having them stare blankly back -at me. It took me a long time to realize that they're not joke s. They're not meant to be described ,." said Larson (Information about Gary Larson and "The Far Side " was provid ed by Andrews, McMeel and Parker, a Universal Press Syndicate Company.) The Voice would like to know what you think of "The Far Side." The comic will be a feature of each issue of the paper.
