CGA banquet cancelled in answer to outcry by Karen Rqss Staff Writer Senate members voted to reject the banquet and proposed referendum at the Community Government Association meeting Monday night. The controversial banquet was cancelled after CGA discussed alternatives for financing it. "We have several options," CGA President Sean Mullen said . "Have a banquet as planned and use CGA funds, have everyone pay their own way, or just cancel it." Letters to the Voice from students showing concern about CGA funding their own banquet prompted the senate to re-evaluate their reasons for passing the proposal last semester. ' 'The student body perceives we are giving ourselves a banquet because we deserve it ," Mullen said . "We feel we've earned it , not deserve it. " Senator Don Chomiak, who made the initial comment "we deserve it " reconsidered his view. "Before the responses to the Voice, I would have seconded the motion to fund our banquet again. But now we have to talk about it. It 's obvious the students don 't want it." Senator Todd Tolarica said because CGA funds activities for other organizations, they should be allowed to fund the banquet for themselves. However, some students believe CGA is not justified in paying for their own banquet because it conflicts with financing guidelines. Mullen said double standards exist everywhere. "We give awards for athletics but not to any other organizations'. We give uniforms to music, but no one else. There are always exceptions made. We had an opportunity to go to a leadership conference in Florida but did not ask for the money because we were afraid of student response," he added. Some thought the trip would have been a better way to use money. Band President Kathi Richards said by going to a leadership conference "they would be representing Bloomsburg University and would have something to bring back for us." A referendum devised to make changes in the constitution less time consuming by eliminating a student vote was to appear on the Feb. 13 election ballot. It was shot down by senators concerned about students ' rights. The fact that many students do not vote also was considered. "This is a terrible proposal ," Mark Hoover, SOAR representative, said. "It is dismissing any say the students have in.CGA . It 's a lot more serious than spending some of their money on a banquet." "To me," said Senate Member Kerry Eck , "if one student turns out , it 's worth it." Don Chomiak and Tim Keffer,GGA presidential candidates,participated in the debate held in the union last night. Photo by Ml Coniglio This accident was the result of a tractor trailer backing down the hill after unloading materials at the Union loading dock. The trailer's brakes locked and the driver made several unsuccessful attempts to unlock them. After receiving permission to drag the trailer out of the lot, he tried once more to unlock the brakes. When this failed,he began dragging the trailer up the hil but only reached so far. As he jumped out of the cab to survey the situation,the trailer's brakes suddenly unlocked,sending the trailer backwards down the hill into the parked cars. Had the driver not reacted quickly and stopped the trailer, more damage would have occurred. Increased communication urged by both candidates by Christine Lyons Executive Editor by Mary Alice Demko Staff Writer ' 'The position of president is not a prize to be won, it is something the students should take very seriously," said present CGA President Sean Mullen, at Wednesday 's presidential debate. Over 50 people attended the debate in Kehr Union and posed a variety of questions to presidential candidates Don Chomiak and Tim Keffer. An increased communication system between CGA and the students was a common goal discussed by both candidates. Measures must be taken to encourage student involvement with CGA, said Chomiak. "Using The Voice, I would invite letters. That is the easiest way to keep students informed." Creating a president 's council and setting aside time for students, as in an open hours policy, were other measures discussed by Chomiak. Keffer believes goals must be realistic if they are to be achieved. He also believes more student involvement will lead to a greater awareness and understanding of CGA. Input from student organizations, committees and teams is needed to assure an effective relationship between CGA and the student body, said Keffer. The senate was a major topic, concerning senate responsibility and measures to ensure continued involvement with their constituents. "When the senators are elected, they must realize their responsibility to their constituents," said Keffer. They have to go back to the students they represent and listen to their questions and views. Keffer believes the CGA constitution is outdated and suggests changes be made to require continual senate contact with their constituents. Chomiak agrees with Keffer that it is the senator 's responsibility to go back to the students they represent and talk and listen to them . Chomiak recognizes the senators are the link between CGA and the students-they are the line of communication from CGA, keeping the students informed , (continued on page 3) Inside Thursday [ Mom and Pop j Reading Clinic New programaids parents in teaching their children how to read.

In response to the need , Edward Poostay, Ph .D., director of the reading clinic , formed the Mom and Pop Reading Project to teach parents to help their childre n with reading comprehension , spelling and stud y skills. The techniques are much the same as those used in the regular tutoring clinic. Parents and childre n participate in the one semester program. "Most parents aren ' t teachers.*" said Diane Estack of Berwick , who attended the program with her six-year-old daug hter Caro lyn. "Teachers would send home homework and say 'hel p your child with these twenty words,' and I'd have no idea how. I came home from the reading clinic in shock at how easy it was to help her read . They are simple things but they work ". In the first part of the Saturday morning session , the parents are shown techni ques to. help their childre n read . They are simp le methods such as using Scrabble tiles to spell unfamiliar words and encourag ing the child to ask himself questions while reading. Meanwhile, the children are supervised by elementary and earl y childhood education majors in activities such as creative writing or listening to stories. The student aides observe as the parents teach the new techni ques to their children and discuss the results with Dr. Poostay. Thirty to 35 children ages six to 12 and their parents have partici pated in the Mom and Pop Reading Project each time it has been offered. Many of the children now attend the reading clinic 's regular tutorial services. The parents who partici pated have been pleased and enthusiastic. Frequent comments on the unsigned evaluations returned to Dr. Poostay include "very worthwhile " and "an enjoyable experience. " Diane Estack was pleased with the tremendous improvement in her daug hter ' s read ing. Melinda Miller, student aide during the spring semester of 1985, felt it hel ped the children and gave her valuable experience for her student teaching and future career. Some comments by student aides included , "I think it teaches while it gives you experience," and "I loved it.

Interest was given to the parking situation and both candidates agree there is a definite problem. A second tri-level was a proposed solution , but both Chomiak and Keffer realize the extreme expense and inability of CGA to contribute financially. Both agree this problem will continue, but realize it is a problem they will have to deal with in the future. Chomiak and Keffer agree that university-town relations are good now and are prepared to deal with any problems that may arise. The Commonwealth Association of Students was recognized by both candidates as a valuable organization CGA should support. The latter part of the debate was centered on each candidate 's Photo by Bob Finch qualifications. "I believe emphasis should be placed on involvement in other activities to know what other groups are doing," said Chomiak. "Being involved in other activities, such as Forensics, theatre and The Voice," said Chomiak, "I think I understand what other groups are doing and what they need." Chomiak stressed again the need for constant communication. He "believes it comes down to cooperation '', to ensure a healthy relationship between CGA and the student body. "Not having been affiliated with this present administration , I feel I can go into this office with an objective and optimistic attitude about CGA as a whole, said Keffer. He believes there are three basic aspects to the jo b of CGA president and believes he is qualified in each, aspect. . As an accounting major, Keffer thinks his education in finance will be an asset in the financial aspect. In the public relation aspect , he believes his personality is one which will allows him to be a good representative of the student body and a good ambassador for the university. For the work aspect , Keffer feels he is "motivated enough to do the job right and put the work in that the job requires.'' Overall , both candidates expressed their interest in obtaining the CGA presidential position , as well as, establishing better communication between CGA and the student body. .

I was wrong ! 1 was listening to President Mullen answe r a question from Kenny Roberts when Mullen began to talk about the various double standard s within the system, one. which according to Mullen , included The Voice. As 1 listened. I realized that Mullen 's statement about The Voice was incorrect As the editor of The Voice I felt a need to correct Mullen. I. along with about five other peop le, raised my hand. I waited patiently Students urged to 'get out and vote' Dear Editor , I am writing this to make sure everybody gets out and votes on CGA election day. In the past few issues of The Voice I have heard people complain about their senate members and the executive committee for having a banquet. If the students don 't want this to happen again, they should get more involved in the election . I not necessarily saying for them to run for CGA , but to go to the debate , listen to what the candidates have to say. As for the candidate s, they should be forced to get out into the public eye. Not just on election day, where they hang out outside the commons and beg people to vote for them , it 's too late then. They should be campaigning NOW, or else this years elections will be like everyone in the past . A popularity contest. while Mullen answered questions or directed everyone else 's questions to the proper senator. When I was the onl y person left with my hand raised. Mullen looked at me and then at the clock above my head and stated that time was up on this discussion and it would onl y be continued if a motion was made to extend it another five minutes. It was not and I was left with my hand in the air. I was shocked that I had been evaded so openl y by Mullen. Mullen and I had 'exchanged greetings before the meetin g started. He had also asked me personall y for a comment when the floor had been opened for discussion earlier in the meeting. I decided not to make a scene at the meeting and left a few minute s later. 1 don ' t know what to think of our governing system when I cannot even voice an opinion at an open meeting . Did Mullen know what I was going to say? Did he realize his comment had been wro ng and didn 't want me to correct him? I don 't know if this happens to even-one or just the people Mullen believes are going to correct him or argue with him. but I don ' t appreciate it at all. I don 't believe it is ethical either. Everyone deserves to voice their opinion , whether or not someone else agrees with it or not. Christine Lyons Don ' t just vote for a name, vote for what a person wants to do. Remember, whoever you vote for will be in that office for a year, and afte r he is elected , there is nothing you can do about it. Now is the time to do something about it. GET OUT AND VOTE.

I decided to attend Monday 's senate meeting and see how the senators were going to resolve this issue. After roll call, the discussion was immediatel y centered on the banquet. I was surp ised to find that even after all the negative feedback, some of the senators still felt the banquet should go on as planned . One senator didn ' t believe any fu rther discussion was necessary on this subject. Another senator believed that his constituents didn 't reall y mind if the banquet went ahead as planned. (I guess he doesn ' t read The Voice. ) Some senators believed that to back out on this banquet would be a cop out and they didn ' t feel that was the ri ght thing to do. I was happy to hear though , that some of the senators were taking the student reaction seriousl y. Jill Goodnight Dear Editor: Do they really care? It is now three o'clock in the morning on this very day as I ty pe this letter on the terminal in 'the Voice office. Everybody has left , but yet I stay behind , typ ing this letter as the last bit of copy to fit this small space.

I'll be on the road to Danville in three hours to get the Voice published in Danville. Jeff Cox Li pp incott , vice-president of CGA , was not present at the meeting when the senate approved themselves the banquet , and on Monday, she had a few things to say against it. She warred to know how many senators reall y felt they deserved a banquet . She asked the senators to think about whether they had worked enoug h with the student body to warrant a banquet. She also wanted to know if they could reall y allocate themselves money when their guidelines prohibited it for all other organizations? And if they could , did they really deserve it? As the discussion went on , Sean Mullen , President of CGA , seemed to be a little disturbed at the fact that more students don 't seem to set involved with CGA . He remarked that maybe if more students did get involved they could voice their opinions a little better. What I'd like to know is, isn 't that the job of a senator-to go out to his or her constituents and discuss problems and ideas. I have been here for almost two years now and have yet to meet my off-campus senator. I didn 't vote in the last election because I didn 't know who was running. I do understand that the responsibility for voting for a reliable student governing body is partly mine, but I do believe that I should at least know who is running. And that responsibilty lies on the people running for the offices. How can we vote effectively without this knowledge? How can we even vote? I believe this issue is of great importance now because of the upcoming CGA elections. I urge everyone to do their best to know the people running for these offices and let them know what you need and want as a student . They are here for us. not themselves. 37 YEARS AGO It was announced today that Mr. Clayton H.

Forensics' president clarifies controversy Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the letter to the editor which ran in the January 30 issue of The Voice. The letter was written by Dpn Chomiak . I do understand the controversy about the CGA banquet; however, as President of the Bloomsburg University Forensic Society, I would like to clarif y the misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the forensic funding for nationals. In the letter, it was stated that the Bloomsburg Forensic Society was allocated $1,800 from CGA to "cover the cost of hosting a national championship." Let me point oUJUo all tnose who do not r~* Pieces of Sky i I know what I was doing this morning at 11:39— I was staring the clock down , wishing another class away. Meanwhile seven were blown from the pill box That was supposed to carry them beyond the sky. understand or have-questions about Bloomsburg 's Forensic team hosting nationals, that CGA did not allocate us $1,800. It was a loan that must be paid back. Before Bloomsburg could host a nati onal tournament , it needed to submit a bid to the National Forensic Council . The team needed funding to back this bid. CGA ofered this money in the form of a loan . Bloomsburg 's Forensic team is currentl y try ing to receive sponsorship form independent businesses to host the competition . I might add that none of this money has been touched nor in all probability will it be touched if funding from the businesses comes through. In any case, any money used will be paid back. I believe that many do not full y understand the forensic organization . There is no possible way that $1,800 would cover the cost of a nation competition . It will cost the team approximately $3,500. The money will come from the team 's fund raisers (that translates into each of us getting up at 8:00 a.m. to make hoagies.) Furthermore, I doubt many realize that this competition will bring in approximately $400,000 to the local business community. Also, let 's not forget that it is an honor to host a national forensic tournament. Bloomsburg competed with schools from all over the nation to host this tournament. Bloomsburg University is an academic institution , and forensics is an academic extracurricular activity. Having such a tournament will g ive the university a tremendous amount of recognition and respect. As President of Forensics, I felt a need to clarify these matters to make sure that my organization is fairly represented on this campus and understood. Grace A.

The country 's current leader is President Marcos. The basic issue in this election is the corruption in Marcos 's administration. If we had any knowledge of the average Phillipino 's lifestyle and the restrictions set upon him , the misuse of power would be obvious. Corruption in any government is not unusual; but do we know about its affects? Do we care? The clincher is this: Marcos 's administration is supported by the U.S. government. While the peop le are being cheated and neglected by their own government , they are learning to distrust and despise the U.S government. This week, the Today Show is Swimmers deserve more recognition Dear Editor, I am writing this letter in regards to the lack of recognition for the Bloomsburg University Women's Swim Team and some of its outstanding members. It was not mentioned that two team members qualified for Nationals this past weekend at Clarion. Beth Roeder and Kelly Knaus qualified in the 400 medly relay. Both girls will be attending Nationals in Orlando, Florida in the beginning of March. This is an outstanding accomplishment for these girls and they should receive more recognition. Swimmers' Fans presenting reports about the condition of life in the Phillipines. These reports are frank and informative. If you want to understand the animosity that less powerful nations feel toward the United States government, keep in touch with the world. We cannot affect the elections in the Phillipines or other nations, but as informed individual s, we can affect our government 's policies. Isn 't this the basis of our democracy? Points and suggestions to counter HB 843 Dear Editor, Your article on Monday regarding the underage drinking law was a well-digested piece of a complex thing. Any law is diffcult to read , but Dan Fedder, Jeff Sutherland , and Becky Bernstein did a very good job explaining it. A couple of comments though: •The bill has passed the House. Now it must be passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee and then by the full Senate before Governor Thornburgh signs it into law: So it could still be stopped at any of these points. Dan suggested writing to our legislators urging them to oppose HB 843. The thing to do is to write to our state senators immediately. (Sen. Ed Hel .f rick is the Bloomsburg senator.)

The Campus Beautiflcation Committee has decided to destroy them. During the Oct. 17 meeting, the Campus Beautiflcation Committee discussed the fate of the trees. Nine committee members attended and discussed the situation. The majority wanted to destroy the trees. Marilou Zeller and Doug Hippenstiel were against it. The committee decided to keep the trees. The trees would not be destroyed unless they became diseased . Ten members attended the Dec. 6 meeting during which the discussion was reopened. Dr. Michael Herbert , not present for the firs t meeting, suggested the committee vote because he felt that opposition by two members was not enough to merit keeping the trees. The result was six in favor of destroying the trees and three against. This was a reversal from the previous decision. The Campus Beautification Committee cited two reasons for the action. First, the trees are too large and unattractive. Second, the trees cause moisture to collect in the walls of the stairway which weakens the steps. Marilou Zeller, one of the members who voted against destruction of the trees, made her opinions known in a letter to the editor of The Voice. The 17 peop le who signed the letter felt the potential destruction of the trees is unnecessary. With regard to the first reason , Zeller said , "It is a crime to destroy two perfectly healthy trees for cosmetic purposes. " In response to the second reason , Zeller said , "With regard to the wall , it has already been repaired and will probally last longer then the trees." Frank Curran , groundskeeper superintendent, said the trees are a hindrance to the maintenance of the brick wall , and pruning of the trees was impractical. Zeller responded in her letter saying, "Frank Curran and others in physical plant have done an excellent job of making the campus more attractive. We fee} that to destroy these two stately trees would be a step backward in the attempt to improve the appearance of the campus." Zeller feels the trees should not be destroyed unless they are diseased or dying. She said, "The beauty that they possess is just cause for keeping them. Most people do not seem to realize that nature, including these two majestic trees, possesses its own inherent beauty upon which man cannot improve despite his wellmeaning efforts."

Many knew, but the majority just shrugged their shoulders and went with the flow. The flow for many high school graduates is college. The decision to go to college is made in many ways. For Eileen Friel , a senior accounting major, it was, "the fact that I never even thought of not going to college." Leslie Gow, a senior marketing major, says, The desire for money and a good job made me come to college ; next would be to make myself a more well-rounded person." High school students usually make the decision to go to college in the eighth grade. Richard Staber, guidance counselor at Central Columbia High School , says, "That is the time when the student has to decide between academic and vocational course. Students identify themsel ves with this choice. Then in their junior year they take the PSAT and that score will show how they rate with their peers and if they should continue with plans of gt>ing to college." Once the high school student decides to go to college there is the choice of what field to enter, Staber comments, "There is a pressure put on students by society to make a choice. Many students don 't realize that for the first two years of a four year college you don 't have to choose a major." Ron DiGiondomenico, academic advisor, says, "Once the college student is here, the student starts feel- ing a frustration over deciding on a major. We tell them to schedule courses they are interested in , talk to professors, and make lots of contacts." According to DiGiondomenico there are just over 500 undeclared students at Bloomsburg. DiGiondomenico blames the "inability to get into restricted majors as the main cause." He says, "About two-thirds of the 500 would be eliminated from the undeclared catergory if we could say, 'select any major you want '." Restricted areas are business , economics, computer and information science, mass communication , nursing, business education/office administration , and special education. Although many students get into their major quickl y, some must wait. A student , who is a junior, says, "I tried to get into business for one year, I had a 3.0 G.P.A and applied , but didn 't make it. Competition for being a business major is fierce. '' Another student, a sophomore, says, "I still can 't understand the fact that you pay to go to college and they won't let you do what you want to." DiGiondomenico points our that several actions have been taken to correct the problem of restricted majors. One is the additon of faculty members to the departments of restriction. Another is to make students aware that the college system can be made flexible. "Students can take two majors, minors, or if they tak 18 or more credits in a field , call it a concentration ," add DiGiondomenico. The third solution would be to choose another major through the hel p of the Career Development Center. "The student who is undecided about a major has alternatives," according to Diane Davis, Assistant Director of the Career Development Center. "It 's up to the students and how much initiative they show in discovering a major. We suggest a three step program." The progra m starts with a self assessment interest test. These tests shoe what the students ' interests, values, and abilities are. The second part is for the student to go and research the 'world of work' they are interested in. This would include going to professors and talking over careers and courses related to those careers . The last step is to combine what the tests say the student is qualified for and the research the student has done in the 'world of work'. A freshman student , says, "I still don 't know what I' m doing here. I know college is the right choice, but for now I have no purpose." Another freshman, says, "I feel tremendous pressure, to choose a major, but I just can 't make a decision right now. I figure in time I'll make a choice." "The freshmanmust realize that not being able to decide on a major is not all that bad. I would even suggest taking two years of different courses, just to see what there is available," says Davis. From the advice give by Davis and DiGiondomenico, it 's alright for students to shrug their shoulders and say I don 't know. There are many alternatives to choose from when undecided, and people to help the student decide what to do. | ATTENTION ALL GREEKS | | Wed.

Simp le Minds are thoug ht of as a new band , but actually they have been .around for a while. Their song "Don 't You Forget About Me " fro m the movie The Breakfast Club, was probabl y the first time many people even heard their music. That song changed Simple Minds ' sty le , and producers Jimmy lovine and Bob Clearmountain have refined their once choppy sty le and have given them the polish they need to become bi g. "Alive and Kicking." their first hit from the album , is onl y one of a few reall y good songs on the track. Most of the better songs on the album include vocalist Robin Clark. Clark compliments lead singer Jim Kerr 's vocals on a number of songs and adds a new dimension to Simp le Minds ' music. "Sanctif y Yourself ," "Oh Jung leland ," and "Ghost Dancing " are three very danceable tunes that have good upbeat lyrics to go along with the music. Simple Minds change in style has been a change for the better, unlike some groups in the business. With the addition of Robin Clark sharing vocals with Jim Kerr, time is the only thing keep ing Simp le Minds from becoming a supergroup. ;. • .

This is about the onl y thing they have in common however. A-ha is a band that has been thrust into the music scene via their videos on MTV. Their firs t single, "Take On Me," will surely win a video award , but I don 't think the music alone will win them any awards. Lead singer Morten Harket has a great voice, but the music itself doesn 't have enough strength to make this srouD 's debut a hit. Songs like "Blue Sky " and the title song, "Hunting High and Low," don 't reall y get off the ground because of the lack of musical content. The one bright spot on the album is a song called "The Sun Always Shines on TV" which blends Harket 's voice and music well enough to give the album a second look . With Hunting High and Low being the group 's first album , a-ha does show signs of becoming popular, but if they want to avoid the sophomore jinx , they will develop their sound to the level of their lead singer 's voice.

Not that the NBA game has not been without its great moments. In fact, sometimes the game is even interesting. Really, if I had to choose between all the all star games in all the sports, I would select the NBA's as the best. However, I still think that these games are demeaning to their sports. The bottom line is money, not talent , and it 's the fan that pays. Hey, Joe, remember when you were on top not so long ago? I seem to remember you coming out and telling us how you live so good and you stay so pretty and smell so nice. Just think about it Joe, it'll come back to you and then maybe you 'll understand. McMahon may have some strange ways, but he is a worldclass football player. Just because his image is not Mr. Yuppie cleancut All-American boy does not give Theismann or anyone else the right to criticize. Theismann said "I sure as hell wouldn t want my kids growing up like him. " The whole role model thing that Theismann spoke of ties in with my last column an why athletes turn to drugs. McMahon is not trying to impress anybody. Instead of having your kids idolize some guy who makes thousands of dollars for a couple hours of work, why not try teaching them to look up to the guy who sweats his nine-to-fivejob just to put food on the table. That 's someone to look up to. . So here it is, my fourth column . Response so far has been pretty positive. Maybe you don 't agree with what I have to say, but I think this column brings something different to the paper. Anyway, I am opening myself up to any comments you have about things said in this column..
