CAS phone-inrStopGramm-Rudman from taking away financial aid Responding to a national call to action , the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS) Thursday-staged a massive phonein to Washington opposing the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Amendment. The Constitutional amendment would reduce the federal deficit by 1991 but at the cost, in part , of denying college access to millions of students th roughout the country. "Gramm-Rudman would guarantee massive cuts in federal student aid programs and could jeopardize the entire Guaranteed Student Loan program (GSL)," says CAS President Carolyn Constantino. In addition , it would prompt unprecedented cutbacks in other social programs, including Welfare. Hundreds of students in Pennsylvania alone participated in the nationwide event. At Bloomsburg University, over 150 people made calls. "How can they do that?" and "Are they CRAZY?!!" were comments heard constantly throughout the day. Many students even had their families call Washington, realizing the devastating impact the amendment would have on all social programs , if it is passed by Congress."^ "Students across the state and across the nation are outraged Congress would even consider such an amendment. Investment in education is NOT money wasted; it is a sound investment in the future of our nation ," says Megan DiPrete, Treasurer of CAS and a representative to the United States Student Association (USSA). "By participating in Thursday 's phonein students made it clear they are aware of what's going on in Washington and they are frustrated and angered by the effects this Balanced Budget Amendment would have." "Reagan is on the road to creating the best-defended country of illiterates,"- says Kerry Eck, a BU student who relies on his GSL for his education. "This week, November 4-8, marks the 20th Anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965 which was the real beginning of federal student aid programs," noted Constantino. "Let's hope it does not also mark the end. This country cannot afford to cut these programs." BU p rof s express need for entranceValuation into mass comm/journal ism pro grams DON CHOMIAK JR.

Ticket policy app lies only to cultural events -NOT rock concerts In the Campus shorts column of Thursday's Voice, a hew ticket policy was announced making tickets available at the door of cultural events, so that tickets do not have to be reserved ahead of time. This policy ONLY refers to cultural events sponsored by Cultural Affairs, not any other events or concerts on campus, and definitely not the Hooters concert as the opening line of the article may have misled. Dr. Walter Brasch, associate professor of journalism, notes that, "In professions such as journalism, the good professors have extensive media background and are continuing to upgrade their skills and knowledge of the profession itself. To allow students to go through a program with minimal or no chance to work at anything than a hack level is doing a disservice to the institution, the profession, and most importantly, to the student." John Maittlen-Harris is an assistant professor of journalism at Bloomsburg University. With 11 years as a copyeditor at a large newspaper in Australia and 11 more in the public relations field , Maittlen-Harris has been teaching journalism for the past 12 years. "Part of the problem is sheer frustration on the part of the instructor," says Maittlen-Harris. He adds it is mainly the assessment of Dr. Charles L.

The subject they found interesting to curse about was Bruce Springsteen. Everyone, of course is entitled to his or her opinion , but cursing over the air for one half hour straight is totally unnecessary. I am ashamed as a college student of Bloomsburg to say that WBSC even exists. I am also quite surprised that such language is permitted over the air. If the language and topics for opinion do not improve, I will do as much as possible to see to it that those shows which are unnecessay are discontinued. Let's try and take some pride in our radio station rather than disgust. So WBSC disc jockeysShape up or Ship out! A disgusted listener Sandanista military are 'communist devils' This letter is in response to a recent article concerning the Nicaraguan people. I believe that Mari Ann Barrios, who was quoted as saying "The Nicaraguan people are not communist devils as President Reagan seems to believe," is obviously a confused , mis-informed person who has caved in to Marxist propaganda. President Reagan doesn't believe the Nicaraguan people are "commmunist devils." He is, however, well aware that the Soviet-backed Sandanista government is made up of "communist devils." Apparently, many of Nicaraguan people know this also. Maybe that is why a large number of the young Nicaraguan men who are drafted into the Sandanista military desert and so over to die side of the real freedom fight£ ;»-the Contras. Because (he Contras don 't have the equi pment or manpower lo fight an ;ii!-out war; they have to fight a "dirty war." Why didn 't Mari Ann Barrios mention the feat that -the Contra's "dirty war" is aimed at the Sandanista military, not the Nicaraguan people? Why shouldn 't the Contras want freedom and democracy rather than a totalitarian , communist regime? And finally, why shouldn 't the United States do what is in its best interest—help scrape the communist fungus off the western hemisphere? The very fact' that the Sndanistas are in power shows that now and then the United States is capable of lacking foresight and out-ri ght screw-ups. But , President Reagan is doing his damndest to remedy the.prcblem. Through their votes, the American people have showed support for a president who is committed to helping the people of Latin America , who are truly interested in freedom and democracy! And , like the president, I strongly desire victory over the cancer called Marxism. Steve Peters Apathy? Come on... For anyone who hasn't heard the news, BU students are full of apathy. That 's according to last Friday's front page story in the Press-Enterprise. I guess they didn 't hear about last week's impromptu phone-in to Washington involving more than 150 of those apathetic students speaking out against financial aid cuts. No. BU students are so apathetic, the Columbia County Board of Commissioners has decided we're beyond hope. Their solution is to eliminate our ability to vote for local and national elections in the Union. I think that what we are seeing is an attempt to eliminate the impact of students as a voting block. More than once in the past few years the campus vote has been enough to decide an election. Examples: In 1981 with the election of Mayor Dan Bauman. Also, in 1982 students were the force for electing Pa. Congressman Ted Stuban. Our votes ARE our voices. By in effect taking away our voting power they aren't giving us the opportunity to help decide who is going to be making laws regarding off-campus housing , college parties , etc. Tommorro 'v is our onlv chan, .:? in SLanii up tor our riti m to vote. Anyone who is registered to vote at a campus address is elig ible to cast a vote under that campus address. Megan DiPrete One of the apathetic students Don't let them take the polling place or your constitutional right The right to vote is one of the things that makes America what it is. A free country run by a democratic government in which every person 's vote is counted and has equal weight. Unless a person doesn't execute his or her right to vote. Then the privilege and constitutional right has no weight , and no substance. The issue at hand is one that threatens the rights of each and every student on Bloomsburg's campus. Because of consistently poor voter turnout , except for presidential election races, at the 3-2 polling place located in the union , officials downtown are seeking to eliminate the polling place from the campus. They would have students reg ister elsewhere which would cut down even more on student voter turnout because of the inconvenience of having to walk downtown to the nearest polling place where the student would be applicable. In the 1970's, Bloomsburg 's students thought it was important enough to petition the courts to create the 3-2 polling place in Kehr Union , and now officials feel apathy has warranted their attempt to remove the poll. An article in the Press-Enterprise stated that in the spring primary, out of 800 applicable registered voters at the 3-2 polling place, only three chose to vote. But what the article failed to mention was the fact that all students were home for summer break which had begun two weeks earlier, and many of those 800 students were no longer elig ible to vote on campus because of moving into off-campus residences. The switching of registration up to three times while a BU student is a problem , and because of that , many students choose not to change their registration every time they locate, or they neglect to register at all. A simple solution would be for Bloomsburg students to petition the courts not 'only to keep the 3-2 polling place, but to make the registration for that poll open to all students attending Bloomsburg University full-time. This would allow a student to register to vote only once during his or her college career and voting in every election would be a simple matter of a five minute trip to the union , a place most students visit at least once a day. To prove the students point of view, a good voter turnout tomorrow for election day, of all those registered on campus would be proof that students indeed are concerned with their government, local, as well as state and national. After a good voter turnout , the courts may see that indeed the 3-2 polling station is warranted, and should be available for all students. So get out and vote, and let's show them that we do indeed respect and utilize our constitutional right to a voice in our democratic government.

Following the rules does not exempt you from soapy windows We'all near-time and time again of the episodes between college students living in residential areas and their nei ghbors, more permanent members of the community. I live off-campus ' in a rather beautiful residential development. I realize there are many young children in the development and therefore am very careful about obeying all traffic regulations and speed limits. As I drive slowly down the road, mmany of my neighbors are out with their children and I turn and smile only to be greeted by blatant looks of hostility. Not taking this personally is sometimes hard, but I can understand some of their resentment of the stereotypical college student. So I disregard the events and choose to mind my own business. But this week the tables turned. The youths for which I ooey all traffic rules and common courtesies, decided to play typical Halloween pranks and soaped my windows. No, I am not a Scrooge, the first time it was almost amusing although inconvenient. But when it happened the following night again to mmost of the cars in our parking lot , I was a bit perturbed . Advisors do not have to hold our hands Once again we are at that time of the year when we have to -go through , the dreaded process of scheduling, and worse yet, going to see our advisors. Seeing as I am a senior and registering for my final semester, I have now gone through this process eight times. And every semester since the first one, I have heard people complain about the fact that their advisors don't tell them what to take. I think there is something wrong with the way most students look at the advisement process. Our advisors are not assigned to us to hold our hands all through college and make sure we take the right classes. As responsible students, each and every one of us should know exactly what we need to take and when we need take it. After all , our advisors don't know what our exact plans are—if we want to graduate on time, we should know when we are going to take eighteen credits and how we are going to balance our course load , if we are going an extra semester, we should know what courses we want to hold off on taking. When We declare a major, we are all given a sheet of paper telling us exactly what courses we need to take to graduate. And if a course is offered only in the fell or spring or every other year, it is designated as such. Given all this, plus a listing of General Ed requirements, why are so many people reaching their junior and senior years complaining that their advisor 'forgot' to tell them they had to take a certain class their sophomore year. As so-called responsible students, I think more of us should start taking some initiative and doing some thinking for ourselves. And if we do have a problem with meeting requirements for graduation in our senior year, let's start putting the blame where it belongs—on ourselves, not our advisors. Dennis Fish Advertising Manager As we go f ive columns, the Voice staff would appreciateyour suggestions, opinions, and comments on the new layout. We need your imput to better serve the university community. Send your responses to the Voice, Kehr Union , Building. Now, should we college students stereotype all children of residential areas as pranksters, brats and demons? It would be inviting, but we understand that all children are not like one another . Some have the sense to rsalize that this is wrong, just as some college students respect their neighbors and realize loud parties, immature behavior and blatant disregard of another's way of life are wrong. I only wish these words would not, once again, fall on deaf ears. LLA Living on campus does have one redeeming value As an off-campus student who never lived on-campus, I am intrigued by the dorms and dorm life. I know most of you who do live in the hails now are probably wondering what spaceship I stepped off of, but seriously, I am amazed sometimes at dorm life. (Primarily out of curiousity) Of the few rooms I have seen, I am surprised at the hominess the girls have managed to produce. I understand space and privacy is a problem, but I believe I have missed out on something special by not living on campus. The thing I think I missed out the most was the chance to make a lot of friends. Going away to college is a rough move for anyone, but tougher yet for a transfer student denied space on campus. I probably would have had a happier first semester here at Bloomsburg if I had lived on campus just because of the people I would have met. I am sure everyone does not agree with me, and believe me I do value my independence living off-campus, but I am sure I missed out on a very special aspect of "collge life." LCM An extra holiday is not much to ask As I try to secure a ride home for the Thanksgiving holidays, I wonder why the administration decided to begin the holidays at 1:50 p.m. on Wednesday. I'm sure they hope most of us will attend classes until that time but I' m sure they realize most of will not. , Many of us will be going home at whatever time our ride leaves, not worrying about the classes we will be missing. But as we leave town, many of us will give a fleeting thought to the class we missed and wonder if we may be missing something valuable for the next quiz or exam. I know Wednesday is included in the credit'hours designated for the class. But what of the classes held after 1:50, those students will be losing hours. Why can't the holidays begin at the end of night classes Tuesday evening? People would have more time to arrange ideas and spend less time worrying about missed classes.

Dr. William Carlough , director of this extended studies program at BU, explains students can participate in the program regardless of academic standing and financial aid is also available to the students. "We're try ing to alert students of the program in their freshmen and sophomore years because as many juniors and seniors are unable to particiapte because of time limitations ,'.''he said. Last semester, 15 Bloomsburg students studied abroad. Some were involved in a six-week exchange program with the Liverpool (England) Poly-TechnicalInstitute. The students paid for tui- tion and board for their Liverpool counterparts, and the latter, in turn paid , for the Bloomsburg students. Others spent a 12-week term at the University of Saltzburg in Austria. They received 12 credits, nine in German and three variable credits . Dr. Carlough believes it is an excellent idea to study abroad and encourages students to take a foreign language. He explains the American dollar is doing well in Europe, making study abroad a good educational investment. In addition , a term abroad "looks good on a resume," he said. Carlough's program also offers study abroad summer sessions as short as three weeks. An example is a three-week art program in Pavia, Italy for six credits, costing Penn State/Hazelton 'Teacher of the Year ' to speak Dr. Harold Aurand , Penn State history professor, will discuss the collaboration between union leaders and management , 6:30 tonight , in Old Science 8.

Aurand' s special interests are organized labor and the history of Pennsylvania's anthracite mining industries. He is the author of "From the Molly Maguires to the United Mine Workers," and has written numerous articles on the history and current status of mining. Aurand is the recipient of the Penn State/Hazelton "Teacher of the Year" award , and the AMCO Foundation Award for Outstanding Teaching. The program is open to the public.

"The value of the program is fabulous—the students are completely on their own; that 's a great experience for them ," Foureman said. "It all boils down to the fact Bloomsburg students have the opportunity to study at a number of universities throughout the world. Through the university 's programs, it is more economical than if students made arrangements on their own ," Foureman said. Lynda Fedor, a junior from Wilkes-Barre, has been named student representative to Bloomsburg University 's Council of Trustees.

After graduation , she plans a career in teaching and eventually would like to become involved in politics. In high school , she was a member of the student government and an honor student. She was listed in the Who's Who Among American High School Students. If so many CEOs offer glowing testimonials about the capabilities of liberal arts graduates, why is it that at the same time, these corporate doors are slammed shut in the face of the broadly educated student? The October issue of BUSINESS WEEK'S GUIDE TO CAREERS delves into the reasons for such corporate "about feces." Of course, many times the person doing the hiring is looking for more specific skills than the chief executive; looking specifically for someone who can hit the ground running. The real culprit appears to be, as any reviewer of management literature might suspect, the emphasis in corporate-America on short-term profits over long range planning. It 's a system that often works to the detriment of liberal arts graduates who may take six or more months to become truly productive. But the picture may not always be so bleak . Liberal arts students who are committed to a specific job goal receive the highest marks from recruiters. Too often , liberal arts graduates are vague about what it is they want to do and why, leaving recruiters with an unfavorable impression. BUSINESS WEEK'S GUIDE TO CAREERS reports there are ¦ ¦ •. Lynda Fedor Fedor is a member of the BU chapter of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. She is currently a resident advisor in Lycoming Hall. Liberal Arts graduates in today's business market plenty of organizations that regularly beat a path to campus doors. Among the fields best represented through on-campus recruiting are retailing, insurance, banking and computer industries. Although they do not recruit on campus, companies in advertising, public relations and publishing often await liberal arts grads with open arms. As for hiring practices in many of the top companies, a lot depends on the specialty area being sought. Positions in the sales marketing departments are always good prospects for liberal arts graduates. Entrance evaluation (continued from page 1) Dr. Dana Ulloth, associate professor of communication studies says, "Grades alone are not a sufficient indicator of a student 's future as a writer or a journalist." He says part of the problem at BU is that in some cases, the student should never have entered the program. He says because of a lack of staff and resources, there is no balanced set of entrance requirments for the journalism program, which is divided between two departments—English and mass communication. "At a small school , trying to split an academic field , between two departments does not work well." He adds that having the faculty of the field in two departments makes it difficult to guide them as a whole and limits the ablility of the faculty to grow and teach the students properly. "Each major should have an entrance interview and check into the performance and abilities of a student ," says Dr. Ervene Gulley, associate professor of English. "In practical terms, it would help students focus and give them support and direction." "Most good intitutions have entrance and exit reqiurements for the field , especially in journ alism. We don't have any yet," says Brasch. "Some students take majors for the wrong reasons. They are pushed by parents or peers, or pulled by the "glamor" of the profession. We have a responsibility to guide them. I have students who are in public relations who do not like to write and one half of public relations is writing and editing," adds Brasch, who has two decades of experience in all facets of the media, and is the author of eight books. Maittlen-Harris says there is a "fundamental problem with the quality of written expression." He adds that students have a hard time taking even mild criticism. "Students have never been criticized in previous schooling," says Dr. Howard Schreier, associate professor of speech and communication studies. He says in high school, the emphasis is on swallowing what the instructor tells the student , then spitting it back on the exam. He adds it is either right or wrong—there is no different interpretation to be judged and then criticized . He adds, "As educators, we have a responsibilty to evaluate the quality of students' work," and a professor has the right to criticize if it appears that students are wasting time. "I do not see it as a responsibilty to tell students they will not make it. I see it as a responsibility to provide the best quality education and give honest criticism of the students' work," says Ulloth. When the evidence overwhelmingly states the student will not make the grade,' says Schreier, "It would .be dishonest not to lay it on ":' " .';' ¦' :, the iine." . Brasch points "out, "It is the (continued on page 8) No pla ce to study-future p lans hope to help DARLA DELUCA Voice Contributor The lack of study space is a major compl aint at Bloomsburg University and has ,been for the past decade. "I am well aware of this problem," says Dr. Larry Jones, vicepresident of Academic Affairs, "A major reason for lack of study space is that Andruss Library was built in 1969 for 3,000 students. Today, we have 5,000 students and no where to put them." Compared to the other 14 Pa. state universities, BU has the smallest amount of square feet per student and faculty. There simply is not enough space on campus to meet the needs of the students, faculty and staff ," says Bill Frost, Chairman of Space and Facilities Committee at BU. Students are resorting to studying in the already overcrowded faculty offices. "Groups of students come to my office more often than ever because thay have no other place to meet when studying for a test or doing a project," says A.G. Forsyth , dean of college of arts and sciences, "We have the worst possible faculty offices available to us already. There is too little space for faculty and students, and most importantly, research." The administration recognizes the badly needed study space on campus. For the past decade, they have been asking for money from the state to fund an addition to the Andruss Library. "To do it right, we should attach space to the library because resources are available there,"says Forsyth, "We're talking about millions, but not out of our budget." According to Robert Parrish , vice-president of administration , the number 6ne priority for new construction at BU is the addition to Andruss Library. This funding depends on the state and how much they are willing to give to BU. A new addition to Andruss Library will cost approximately 8".8 million dollars. This will double the size of the library," explains Parrish, "However, it is difficult to get that money from the state. Even though our enrollment is climbing now, no one knows what it will be 10 years from now, and that is what the state must consider." Recently, Legislature passed the funding to renovate Sutliff Hall and Old Science. This will create an even larger problem with space. "Sutliff will be under renovation this summer and continue in the fall," says Forsyth, "Old Science is supposed to be completely renovated, there has been no funding date yet because Sutliff must be completed first." "I did not understand the students' disinterest in using the Commons for studying. There are four large dining rooms with tables and chairs. If we do not receive funding for the, library addition, the Commons seems the best possible solution," suggests Jones. Another solution to the lack of study space is opening the classrooms at night. .. "This solution has been tried in the past and has not been successful. Night classes conflict, with available classrooms, and too much noise is created for the night says Jones. classes," However.Frost suggests student monitors could eliminate the noise problem for night classes. "It is possible to do more with classrooms if they were monitored. The reason it did not work before was that there was not enough effort to coordinate this arrangement, states Frost, "If the use of classrooms to study was publicized more and uniform hours posted, there should be no problem.'' A feud to end it all family feud finals set SUSAN BACKER Staff Writer And the survey says...it's time for the Family Feud ! On Wednesday, November 13, the Program Board is holding its first Family Fued competition. This week , some of the residence halls are holding preliminary Family Feud games. On Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Multi-A Kehr Union, the off-campus students will hold their preliminary games. Each team must consist of a maximum of five members, either co-ed, or all male and all female. The first eight off-campus teams to sign up at the information desk, KUB, by Wednesday, Nov. 6, will be eligible to play. The top eight winning "families" from the two preliminary feuds will meet at 8 p.m., Nov. 13, in President's Lounge, KUB, for the final Family Feud battles. Comedian , Andy Scarpati ^ the Comedy Cabaret 's version of Richard Dawson, will lead the "families" through the finals in this own hilarious way. According to Jimmy Gilliland , advisor for the Program Board, all the games will follow the same format and rules of the television game show. Many of the questions pertaining to college life were made up by the Program Board's recreation committee. Gilliland said, "The results are authentic too. They're taken from a phone survey of Bloomsburg students." Students are encouraged to pick any family name, or type and dress accordingly. Prizes will be awarded to the final winning team and the best dressed family. So, look out Hatfields and McCoys because the real Family Feud is coming your way! Forsyth agrees that study space is badly needed , "They also need more corral space large enough for a group to talk about a test or work on a project together without disturbing otherrs. Because of overcrowded dorms, students can not even study in their dorm rooms anymore." BU does have a small area in the library, room L-32, similar to Forsyth's idea. Recently, the board f governors approved building study corrals in the new dorm that is expected to be built fell 1987. "President Ausprich and Chancellor McCorrhick both know about the problem with study space," says Forsyth, "The president wants more fundraisers for BU because we can not be limited by funding through legislature." They also have been discussing more about funding through private donors.

The credit she recieves will be put toward her graduation in December and her accomplishments at the office will benefits students in the near future. The Cooperative Education program at BU is a combination of classroom theory and on-the-job experiences planned and supervised to enhance knowledge associated with a student 's professional objectives. The program is on its feet but needs more funding to support it and enable it to grow. Currently both Labuda and Brirt are working on a proposal for a Tide Vin grant which would provide funding from the governement for a program that would combine both cooperative education and internships. Labuda says "I find it challenging because I would like to see the program work and develop in the future." If funding is provided , students will benefit because the program will grow and lead to an increased supply of employers for students. A second program the Cooperative Education Office is involved with is the pilot program, this is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Agency (PHEAA). This plan allows students to work certain jobs oncampus provided they work in a high-tech position , such as the computer lab. If these programs are put into effect, students will benefit by gaining experience in their respected fields. Also in the planning stages is the development of a cooperative education program for international students. . take a ' . -^gtf^RHHnjjjHHHHi closer look ' " / ^WSMP^^BBL at . ¦ " ' ¦' - ^Sml WARHURST APARTNIEN"ffl AND I RIVERVIEW APARTMENTS -764-0816- | BU Airforce grads begin active duty Seven Bloomsburg University cadets were commissioned second lieutenants in the United States Air Force during a recent ceremony.
