Controversial banquet postpon ed by CGA by Jerry Wiese Staff Writer Uncertainty about transportation prompted the CGA executive council to postpone its controversial banquet. It would have been held Saturday night at the Best Western in Danville. "We didn 't cancel the banquet , we just postponed it," said Sean Mullen , president of the Community Government Association . He said the bus company which would have taken CGA members to the banquet warned it would not go if there were an inch of snow on the roads Saturday night, since snow was expected. "They told us that there were other bus companies that would take . us in any weather, but we didn't want to compromise safety. Also, we didn 't want to wait until Saturday to make a decision, so we postponed the banquet Friday morning," Mullen said. CGA executive council members met to discuss controversy surrounding the banquet expressed in letters recently published in the Voice.

"Things seem to be running smoothly. Of course, having the deli in each of the three open lines and extra workers also helps quite a bit." Among students, however, the question most raised is why the renovations had to be done now instead of in the summer when there aren't so many students. "We are quite busy in the summer also," Servomation Manager Jeff Zitzman said. "Actually the work should have been done, except for painting which could have been completed between meals." When dining hall D is completed, line B will be shut down for renovations. ' l>This won't take nearly as long as D is taking," Carpenter said. "AU of the work should be completed by midFebruary."

If the bill passes as it is, the following offenses by minors will result in fines of no less than $500 for the first violation and $1,000 for each subsequent violation . •Knowingly and falsely representing self for purpose of obtaining any intoxicating liquor, malt, or brewed beverage. •Attempting to purchase, consume, possess, or transport any liquor, malt , or brewed beverages. •Possessing an identification card with false name, age, or photo, that says the minor is 21 or older. For all fines, the bill states that no court can give a lesser sentence than the minimum, or a greater sentence than the maximum stated. Also, no court hsa the authority to suspend any sentence as explained in the act. In addition , anyone convicted and fined for any of the above violations will immediately be required to surrender their driver's license. The court will retain the license for the following periods of time after the date it was surrendered : •first offense - 90 days •second offense - one year •third offense - two years •fourth offense - until the minor turns 21 If a minor doesn't have a license at the time he or she is convicted for underage drinking, the minor will not be able to apply for a learner 's permit until the sentenced time that the court would hold a license has expired . "I think there are better ways to punish a person ," said Fedder. He is further against involving licenses in the punishment because all sentences must be consecutive. For example, if during a 90-day period after a first offense a minor is convicted a second time, the minor will be deprived of his or her license for one year plus 90 days. Jeff Sutherland, coordinator of CAS, further protests these penalties, especially for those minors who must drive to work. "Not only may you Jose your license, but hou might lose your job as well," he explained.

This past Saturday 18 players donated their time and musical ability to tape the "Husky Shuffle ' ' for the benefit of the Easter Seal Telethon. Ellen Manuel , field producer of the video, wanted to involve the team in some way and came up with the idea of hav i ng them do their version of the "Superbowl Shuffle. " Planning for the video started at the beginning of the semester and involved many people in front of and behind the scenes. The Public Relations Director for Easter Seals, Paul Christian , felt the team would draw "more viewers , which means more money." The whole team also signed two footballs. One will be given to a poster child and the other will be auctioned off during the telethon . The telethon 's goal this year is $15,000. "It is very much within our reach ," Christian said. There is also the possibility of the telethon putting a small live audience into the university studios for the live broadcast. The players seemed to be enjoying themselves making the video. According to Dwight Coleman , it is just "another talent we are bring ing out." John Rockmore felt the team was upt ight when they started , but once*they relaxed they began to have fun. According to John , by the time the final take was shot , "it was the deal!" For your chance to see the Huskies, in addition to a great deal of other talent , tune in from noon until 10 p.m. on Sunday, March 9. The telethon will be broadcast on a local cable channel to be announced .

Likewise, persons making or altering identification cards with false identification , birthdate s, and ages, if caug ht , may also be fined $l ,000-$2 ,500.

Band Front Positions Available Banquet postponed by CGA (continued from page 1) Voice made it sound that way. "The philosophy that 's coming out now is that we 're having the banquet because we deserve it. There 's no one reason . It was a majority decision from a consensus of senate members who repre sent every constituency on and off campus," Mullen said. In response to criticism that the CGA is operating under double standards, Mullen points out there are exceptions to policy. "For example, policy says we can 't fund awards, but we do it for athletics." Mullen also notes part of the CGA budget comes from interest and fundraising~not just the student activities fee. He said there is a proposal in the works which would organize a fundraiser to reimburse the CGA budget for the banquet . But Mullen is especiall y discouraged that more students are not expressing their concern directly to the CGA. "Students are so apathetic. If .they'd come to CGA meetings, we could respond to their concerns. The biggest joke going around now is, if you want to talk to Sean, write to the Voice." Mullen referred to a letter published Thursday in which Kenny Members of the Husky football team shuffle to the beat to benefit the Easter Seal Telethon Roberts asked several questions about the banquet and financing policy. ' if Kenny had asked those questions at a CGA meeting, we could have answered all of them. I guess he wanted all of the students to know about it. " Mullen encourages everyone with concern over the banquet or any other CGA matter to come to the senate meeting tonight in the KUB coffeehouse. "We listen. It seems as though people always wait for the pipes to burst in the house before they'll speak up. The reason commencement was moved back to the fairgrounds is because students told administrators how they felt." | __ _________ _ ¦WfgCMj Talr»* ¦__¦ft 7— PMSH B WiftWY <*n I 3r'_ a7l Capitol Theatre presents...

Though the ink is barely dry on the state's new beefed-up high school curriculum requirements, some local school districts have asked the Pa. Department of Education (PDE) to allow exceptions. These school districts want to permit accounting classes to be used to meet one of the three mathematics course requirements for graduation , especially for vocational education students. At first blush, the request seems reasonable. The increased mathematics requirement apparently gives local school districts the most problems. The shortage of certified mathematics teachers and difficulties in scheduling mathematics classes are only two of the most pressing problems. Sources in the PDE claim that approximately one-third of the state-s 501 school districts have inquired,about or actually*requested mathematics variances. The PDE , which has the authority to grant variances, has done so, and now local school districts have the clear discretion tb permit the substitution of an accounting course for a mathematics course for all students, not merely vocational ones. Let's face it, the accounting for mathematics switch is a direct substitution for a course for in one discipline for a distinctly different course in another discipline. The PDE's decision was the subject pf an interesting but brief discussion during the last meeting for the State Board of Education. Members of the Council of Higher Education, as might be expected, raised objections to the variance, and there was some confusion as to the PDE's authority to allow it. The confusion centered around well add a course to some practie c ¦•• value to their program of study. But let's understand that accounting is not mathematics.

Neither. Roosters do not lay eggs, but when riding the fence, neither do hens. To lay an egg, to be wrong, it is necessary to make a decision and take a stand. Riding the fence means one of two things; no decision was made, or one was made and not announced or defended because of public scrutiny, what others would say or do. For someone who wishes to maintain the status-quo, riding the fence is perfect, no risks, no mistakes, and no replies to what is said because it has no direction . People in government should never settle for the status-quo: There is no change, no growth. After letters about the CGA banquet 'came into the Voice office from other students, I was forced to question my stand on the issue. I still believe the CGA deserved the banquet , but I must add that other campus organizations do also. On January 21, the Union Governing Board, of which I am chairman, funded the members of the Program Board to their banquet, which will take place in April. Maybe the time has come to bring the banquet issue to CGA for other student organizations as well. Don Chomiak Renovate when no one is around Dear Editor Campus beautification seems to be a topic on campus lately. That's great, but why are renovations in the Commons being done now as school was either' canceled or on a delayed schedule. Of course, students at BU were forced to brave the elements. As a result of this, the campus was not cleared off. Is it such a major decision to close for one day or operate on a delay? This created hazzards for people walking on campus. Maintenance had no time to clear the campus so the stairs were caked with ice and snow, walkways were not cleared, etc. Many people were falling and slipping! Why not close and give the maintenance people a chance to clear the campus efficiently to avoid inevitible injury? Instead, we walk on the snow and pack it down so maintenance has problems with snow removal. I feel our administration should take this into consideration the next time we have a snow storm. Disgusted i i opposed to over Christmas break, spring break, or even summer vacation?! Since faculty and staff rarely eat in the Commons, they are not faced with waiting in lines. It is pathetic and ridiculous to wait f or a half-hour to forty-five minutes for food in the Commons. Most of the time, you can't tell where one line ends and the other begins because they all run together. The enrollement at BU is climbing, so the college decides to close one cafeteria during the school school terms, and then close another when that one is finished. That's really great when I purchased a meal plan and don't have the time to wait in line, som my alternatives are to either skip lunch or buy it in the union (whose lines are long too because of the situation in the Commons). I'm so glad I bothered to purchase a meal plan and then don't even use it. Wasting Money The key to boredom is adventure!

"We met just before homecoming this year to prevent last years problems from recurring. Everything went well this year, but we can 't contribute that to the meeting." The Town-Gown committee started years ago. It was reestablished last year with 21 members. "We met three times last year and provided a forum to discuss the positive and negative issues," says Walker. The committee was to list all the positive s and negatives concerning town-campus relations. The first problem on the list was off-campus housing . "Many feel that the ability of the town to absorb student housing has been stretched to the limit. Also, the conflicting lifesty les of 18-20 year olds and the community tends to create a problem. We have to repeat progrmas on a regular basis due to the new student population living among the community," says Walker. This has led to the planning of a new residence hall on the upper campus. The second item on the list of problem areas was student behavior and parties. This concerns litter and vandalism. "Most of the vandalism occurs when students have been drinking, " Walker said. "At our next meeting, I' m going to bring up the idea of hiring students to pick up trash along Main St. This will let the town know that the students are try ing." The positive aspects include the economic impact the university has on businesses, the cooperation of students and the community in preparing and participating in the Renaissance weekend, and the various organizations doing service projects for the community. The greek organizations have contributed yearl y to the community. As long as the college continues to grow, so will the problems between the town and campus. If there are continuing problems, why bother with the committee? "We are not an authority, but we can identify problem areas and address them to the individual agencies and organizations who can take action ," says Walker. Progress can be made by giving each side fair publicity. If any problems are to be solved they have to be solved as a joint effort.

In addition to plays in London and Stratford (and other events), a special feature is lunch in a London home at which the group will have an opportunity to talk informally with writers, actors, directors, producers and other members of the theatre profession . For more information, especially about three credits for the study trip, please see Dr. Rusinko, Bakeless 114, ext. 4429. The primary function of the NTE tests is to provide objective, standardized measures of the knowledge and skills developed in academic programs for the preparation of teachers and other professionals, such as spechlanguage patholog ists and audiologists. The program includes the Core Battery tests and 28 Specialty Area tests, each of which is two hours long. The Core Battery is offered on April 5, 1986 and June 28, 1986. The Specialty Area tests are offered on April 19, 1986 and July 12, 1986. Deadline for applications is approximately five weeks before the test date.

Further they were told that "the system of discipline used is not preventive , but rational , and has for its object characte r building. " The school was serious about insisting that students study and in general spend most of their time at work. Parents were told not to ask students " to come home as "every recitation missed places the pup il at a disadvantage and seriousl y affects his standing. " Visiting friends was also discouraged as students were advised that in addition to losing time while absent from campus , a visit ' 'distracts the mind on the day of departure, and is takes the first day afte r returning to get the mind back to work." Standards were high and expectation were great . One wonders how many students lived up to them and how many would live up to them today.

CGA presidential candidates' debate would decide changes in their constitution by a three-fourths vote of the senate. Mike Feeley, managing editor of the Voice, in a recent editorial , said , "students should keep an eye on the people who are running their money." He is right. The only "checks and balances" on CGA are the students. It is in the students ' best interests to stay on top of their government. I would be seriously surprised if Khadafy, a young Hitler, or the Communists took over at Bloomsburg , but since each full time student gives CGA $45 to p lay with , the vote of the students is important as to what games CGA plays. The cost of such an amendment is for now unknown. But considering the prices in my convenience seminar, remember, the students pay the bill . Also, if this proposed amendment reaches the ballot on Feb. 13 and passes a student body vote, the students will have no more say in the matter. It will be the last time such a vote will ever take place. This column will appear every Monday.

You've 'heard all you can take about the drug jproblem in professional and amateur sports. You know all about these people who throw away their careers on a few thrills. This is a problem that has taken our nation by storm, and has many people scratching their heads and wondering why this is happening . The popular view is that the drug users in sports are weak, and have no place oh the field of play. So, here it is, a nation of finger pointers wondering what or whom to blame. Well, listen up, because maybe we have noone to blame but ourselves. The first thing that needs to be said is that sports have alwaysbeen an integral part of society, not only in recent years, but throughout time, and not only in our country, but throughout the world. There is nothing wrong with sports being considered an important part of society. Sports have their place in society, as they keep people healthy, not only in body, but also in mind . However, when sports become an obsession, a driving force in life, problems are bound to happen . I don 't have to tell you that there are many examples of this in society. One need only go to the local corner tavern on a given Monday night in the fall to see some people's life-or-death attitudes on sports. Or, on a bigger scale, try going to a place where there is organized gambling going on and watch people dropping tens, hundreds, thousands of dollars on bets for the games. Plenty of this goes on all over, and almost everybody knows about it , so I don 't have to go into great detail. However, indulge me for a moment as I relate one particular incident that struck a raw nerve in- Swimmers split (continued from back page) Ron Wesche was the third individual double winner for BU, gaining victories in the one meter diving event with a score of 202.50, and in the three meter diving with a score of 196.40. Mark Koenig was a winner for the Huskies in the 200 meter butterfly in a time of 2:20.01. Mark Hagginbothom was also a winner for BU in the 100 meter freesty le in a time of 52.51. In womens' action, Clarion defeated Bloomsburg Sunday by a score of 94-45. Again it was a case of a home team jumping out to a quick lead and never looking back. Joan Wojtowicz turned in a (continued from back page } shots by George Lee (14 points, 12 rebounds), a fast break basket by Kevin Medley, and two free throws by Barnett suddenl y put the Wolves up 30-18. Noack broke the streak with a field goal , but then Barnett sandwiched two buckets around a Lee field goal to give Cheyney their biggest lead of the half at 36-20. Cheyney came out firing again early in the second half for a 10-4 spurt to go up 47-28, and the Huskies never recovered . The Wolves led by as much as 21 points, 55-34, at the 12:57 mark on a bucket by Kelly, and the closest the Huskies ever got in the second half was 41-26. Cheyney was 31 of 72 on field goal tries for 43.1 percent, and 14 of 22 from the charity stripe for (continued from back page, 63.6 percent. The Huskies were 24 for 74 150 lb. victory as Jim Akerly decifrom the field for 32.4 percent , sioned Dave Morgan 5-1.

Drugs in pro sports: What can be done? side of me, a comment that made me turn seven shades of red and wonder; what 's happening to our society? A few weeks back, Dick Young, in his column in the New York Postmade a comment that I can.not let go without making a comment of my own. He was talking about New Jersey Net star Michae! Ray Richardson and his drug problem . It seems that fellow Net Darryl Dawkins was crying over the loss of his teammate and friend to a detox center. Youngmade a comment that, in effect , said that Dawkins should not cry over Richardson, he should instead be bitter because of all the losses that Richardson 's absence would cost the team. If you really think about what Mr. Young is saying, and how many people probably agree with him you realize the perversity of the sports attitude in the United States. What Darryl Dawkins was crying about goes far deeper than losing a few game||^^ets§paid.the same win or lose. What Dawkins' tears sybolized was a loss of a human being, and in that spirit I share his sorrow. Now I know that just because Dick Young says something, that does not mean that that view is shared by everybody, but it seems that a truly selfish attitude has permeated our society in regard to sports. .: ' The popular sentiment anymore seems to be that people are mad at the drug users for what they are doing to their teams, instead of what they are doing to themselves, society, and perhaps even more important, how they have become a reflection of our society. So far, it may sound like I am being soft on the drug users in sports. I'm not. In fact, this is one area where I agree with what Young says to do with players caught using drugs. He advocates permanent banishment from professional sports, and I agree. A slap on the wrist will not work. A couple thousand dollars fine and a suspension will not deter the rich athletes of today, and they will just go back to the old ways when things start getting tough again. " These are people who, in many cases, can not handle the pressure of being a superstar or a role model for America, and they should be removed from the spotlight if they need drugs to deal with it. These people are a danger to themselves, to their sport, and to society. What I am trying to advocate here is a little compassion toward those who have fallen. We are all human, and some people are not as strong as others. These people need help. Also, we may need a little self-evaluation over how our society cm get so rapped up over league that has admitted to at least one drug problem on every team (yes, the NFL). Parting comment: Some people will read this article and wonder "Then why is he a sports writer if he feels this way?" That 's easy. I don 't limit myself by calling myself a sports writer. I am a journalist who enjoys writing about sports because,1 believe it or not , I still feel there 's hope for us yet. I only hope things can change to a point where drug problems are only isolated incidents in professional (and amateur) sports, and we can all once again be sure when calling sports a positive institution in our society. strong performance in the loss, gaining two firsts for BU. Wojtowicz grabbed first in the 200 meter freestyle in 1:55.34, and in the 500 meter freestyle , with a natioanlly quailifying time of 5:04.25. Senior co-captain Kelly Knaus took first for BU in the 100 meter backstroke in 1:02.47.

Barnes Pat Flanagan goes up for a shot over Cheyney's Anthony Robinson. Flanagan, along with the rest of the BU squad experienced shooting problems all night. Also visible is Cheyney's Ron Barnett (44), left, and BU's Dean Coione. Poor shooting plagues Huskies in 76-60 loss by Jeff Cox Sports Editor Going into Saturday night 's contest with the Bloomsburg University Huskies, Clarence Green was the Cheyney Wolves' main man. Going into the game, Green was averaging 18.0 points per game, but on Saturday he shot onl y one for 10 from the field , and scored only two points. So, the age-old theory js that when your big gun goes down, the chances are good that the rest of your team will go down with him . Whoever made up that theory never saw Cheyney play. The rest of the Wolves' squad more than picked up the slack left by Green , enough , in fact, to thump the Huskies by a 76-60 count on the BU home court. The game was key for both teams. Cheyney had to win to stay within ones game of frontrunne r Millersville in the Pennsylvania Conference ^ Eastern Division . Bloomsburg had to win just to stay alive. Cheyney, led by a standout performance by Ron Barnett (20 points, 17 rebounds) had a struggle with BU throughout much of the first half. .The Wolves led by only four, 22-18, with 4:42 remaining in the first half , but then exploded for eight straight points,- and outscored BU 15-6 down the stretch in the first half to go to the locker room with a command ing 37-24 lead . Poor shooting plagued the Huskies all night , but especially in the first half , when they hit on only nine of 39 field goal attempts, for a dismal 23.1 percent. BLoomsburg led early in the contest , but a Barnett field goal at the 15:38 mark in the first half put the Wolves up for good by a 9-7 count. BU hung tough through most of the half , trailing only 15-14 with 8:15 remaining, but two buckets by Greg Kelly (13 points) and a free throw by Wilbert Jones (18 points) put Cheyney up 20-14. Mark .Redfern (six points) and Glenn Noack (14 points) exchanged baskets to make the score 22-18, but then the Wolves pulled away. A field goal by Jones, two foul (continued on page 7)
