Late checks nothing new to veterans by Will Dennis for the Voice When it comes to talking about the government handing out money, words like "prompt " or "punctual" rarely come to mind. That is certainly the case with student funds for Bloomsburg University veterans; late checks, missing money-and the prospect of getting nothing at all. The trouble lies in the way the checks are processed under the new G.I. bill. Ron Deihl , a Vietnam-era veteran working with veteran's affairs here at BU said , "What causes the problem is the time of the month the application is processed. After we get the application for funds filled out , we send it to the VA board in Philadelphia who processes it and then sends it on to Kansas City where the check is issued. The system works in four cycles, with each cycle being basically one week long. The problem arises when the application comes past the second cycle-if it comes past the 15th, you can count on the check being at least two weeks late." Late checks are only a part of the problem. Such is the government's zeal in preventing overpayments that , in the case of scheduling changes, checks are held up even longer and sometimes not sent at all. "It 's VA policy that if there is a change in the student 's schedule," said Deihl , "the check is held to prevent overpayment . They seem to set such high priorities on avoiding overpayment, and there 's often nothing we can do." There have been recent problems with checks not arriving, Deihl said. "We have one such case that we just worked through. There is a student now who was a full-time student with 13 credits," he said , "and the VA received authorization to cut a check. Some time after the authorization the student withdrew from a class, dropping hinm to 10 credits. The check was stopped, and to this day he still doesn't have a check. This particular case has been going on since the 22nd of last December." Deihl noted. Although all this is a cause for concern , Deihl said BU has an excellent rapport with veterans, and the university understands the problems veterans have with getting their money. No action is taken against late payment in these cases, he said , adding that , "It usuall y isn't the student's fault-just the timeliness of the situation." The best way around late checks, he said , is to notify the Veteran's Affairs office before the 15th of the month when making an application for money. Open hearings on governance structure involve f aculty/students Faculty hearing by Patty Moyer Staff Writer Improving the flow of information and increasing faculty representation were among the concerns voiced by faculty at an open hearing held Feb. 19, on the proposed governance structure. The faculty members present at the hearing agreed the proposal was a good basis for the new governance structure, however, more work would be needed to assure equal representation and to meet the needs of both faculty and students. Members of the Presidential Committee and facutly agreed that the flow of information, was important to keep all committees in the structure updated on meetings, issues and decisions about academic and curriculum concerns. "We want a great deal of trust and horizontal information flow,'' Howard Macauley, co-chair , explained . Faculty representation on each of the committees was another issue. Maureen Endres (Librarian) believes the structure is restrictive of faculty representation . "The library 's say is eliminated from the Student Life Committee and the Planning Budget Commit- Sp ring trip to Soviet Union offe rs chance for interaction by Lynne Ernst Staff Writer Bloomsburg Uni versity is offering a two-week, inexpensive tour of Russia immediately following the end of the spring semester. So, when you have spring fever, don't think Florida, think Russia. The main goal of the tour is to provide the opportunity for contact between Bloomsburg students and Soviet citizens and students. Students can also earn credits while traveling abroad. The tour is 'unique in many ways. Toooften , Soviet tours result in American visitors having little or no contact with Soviet citizens, instead their time is spent with other Americans. In an attempt to avoid this, the tour has been arranged through Sputnik , a Soviet aeencv which specializes in tours for young adults. The tour is also special because of the price. The approximate cost is $1,350, about $500 less than usual because of student rates. The cost includes a round trip transatlantic flight from New \brk to the USSR, hotel accomodations, three meals a day, sightseeing programs in cities and more. Students can also take three credits in either political science or interdisciplinary studies. However, the price of tuition is not included in the cost of the tour. Students, will tour Leningrad, Moscow Kiev and Odessa. The historical spots that will be visited include the Hermitage Museum, Peter's Palace, the Battleship Auora, the Kremlin, Lenin's tomb, the GUM Department Store and more. " According to Professor Anthony Sylvester, who has gone on previous tours of the USSR with BU students, the most important thing is to make extensive use of the public transportation system in the USSR. It is in the subways, city buses, and trolleys where students interact on a personal level with Soviet citizens. Sylvester said students often realize they have a lot of misconceptions about the Soviet people and the Soviet Union. Sylvester commented that the Soviets are "friendly and outgoing people." When Americans visit the USSR, they find the Russians do not have horns and Russians discover Americans do not have horns." A visa and passport are required for the tour. No previous courses in the Russian language are required. Enough people in the (continued on page 3) tee because we are a department that belongs to no college," she explained . "The reason I am acting so strongly is because the library obviously has a very sizeable percentage of the budget ," she added . Faculty member Mark Melnychuck would like a stronger faculty voice as well. "If we don't have 50 percent of the seats filled with faculty, we won't be equally represented ," he said . Melnychuck also suggested revisions of the original plan by putting the Coordinating Council at the middle of the model . "The Coordinating Council is the prime linking section of the model because it is the information center," he told the members. Richard Aldefer (Communications) suggested more faculty representation in the Planning/Budget Committee. Aldefer 's idea is to have two people from each college and an APSCUF member - total of seven faculty instead of the proposed three. He also suggested a need for community representation. Co-chair Stewart Nagel explained that the suggestions for the revision of the first draft voiced at the hearing and those submitted in written form would be considered. Among those considerations is clarification of the term "faculty." The formation of subcommittees will be encouraged so they will be able to focus on specific matters such as community input , for example. ' We re inventing a kind of model that is neither participatory entirely or representative entirely," Nagel explained. He added that the model would need more description to show exactly how the information will flow. After reviewing all suggestions, the Presidential Committee will meet again to revise the structure. Student Hearing In an open hearing for students concerned about the new governance structure , the CGA presented its recommendations on the first draft. Sean Mullen, CGA president, explained the suggestions drawn up by the CGA: Committee on Academic Affairs: Composition-Want to reinforce our belief that the graduate and undergraduate classes should be represented by a student. Committee on Student Life: 1. Increase the representation of the Student Life Staff from three members to six members. 2. Decrease the faculty membership from three to two members. 3. Decrease the student membership from six to four members. Selection-of the student representives would be made by CGA and no specific criteria would be used in their selection. Committee on Planning and Budget: The APSCUF president should not be considered a member and rather the faculty elect among themselves a representative. Recommend increasing the student representation from one to two members. Selection-of the two students would be made by the CGA. If the committee does decide to make the APSCUF president a permanent member, the CGA (continued on page 2) Inside Monday Library facilities go unnoticed The Andruss Library offers many research methods unknown to students.

Onl y one club, however, has been specificall y organized soley to help disabled students. This club is called "Project Awareness." Project Awareness is a group for disabled students established to deal with the physiological , psychological , educational and environmental difficulties faced by the growing population of disabled students at BU. Members include those students who are interested in , or themselves have, any type of disability. Initiall y called the Disabled Students Task Force SubCommittee, Project Awareness was founded in 1981 by a special student who personall y encountered many of the above difficulties. Since then , numerous awareness programs have been sponsored to bring attention to our campus. Some activities that Project Awareness will be presenting this semester are: a panel discussion on "Marriage and the Mentall y Retarded ," a panel discussion on "How to Deal with a Terminally 111 Individual ," and a social visit to a married couple 's home which has been totall y designed to accomodate both their wheelchairs. The main goal of Project Awareness is to educate BU students, faculty, staff , and interested others about the feelings, needs, and rights of every exceptional individual and to focus not on what their handicaps are, but what they, as individuals, can become with our help. Show your support and willingness to learn and share with others by joining Project Awareness. We need to have members from all disciplines and programs. Call any of the following members if you are interested : Corry Pannell , 3959; Chris Bandy, 784-6454; Harriet Johnson , 784-5330; and April White, 3333.

The performance scheduled for Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. will feature several demonstrations of his mental abilities. By using the relaxation technique, Kreskin has subjects silentl y count numbers backwards. The subject is then able to endure situations that would otherwise be uncomfortable and potentiall y painful , like having your arms and legs elevated for several minutes. Another of his demonstrations is something he calls the "check test.''. A member of the audience hides Kreskin 's performance fee somewhere in the room. Kreskin must find the check in ten minutes or forfeit his payment. He offers $20,000 to anyone who can show he had an accomplice. The author of three books, Kreskin has had his own TV series for five and a half years, has been on the Mike Douglas Show Ul times, the Johnny Carson Show 88 times and the Merv Griffin Show 73 times; Kreskin will ' be appearing in Mitrani Hall, Haas Auditorium for this one performance only.

The system carried water from various places on campus to the heating system to be filtered and returned purified to heat buildings on campus. Parrish said the pipes are worn out and must be replaced because not replacing the system could be dangerous. "If the pipes were to erode and break, we would have water leaks over the whole campus. Then we would have to put makeup water in the system from other parts of campus. This could also be dangerous if the water isn 't purified ."

"The university gets funding from two budgets," said Parrish , "a basic instructional operating budget totaling $32 million and a major corrections fund." The basic instructional budget is set up through the system of higher education and must be approved by the governor. Approval for the major corrections fund is a lengthy process as Parrish stated, "We requested funding for this project in 1980, it was approved in fiscal 1981-82, and work begins this summer." A majority of the work will be focused on the lower campus. "We ' re concerned with the distance from Carver Hall to Andruss Library," said Parrish. Minor inconviences will result as workers continue the project but , Parrish said "We'll work around academic schedules to ensure no long interruptions exist.

Terry Madonna APSCUF President Al Shanker, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, calls it education 's "dirty little secret. " Grahm Down of the National Council for Basic Education , says "it is not a pretty picture ." The two comments refer to a recentl y released report entitled "'Makin g Do in the Classroom: A Report on the Misassignment of Teachers." The report 's conclusion can be easil y stated: there are countless thousands of teachers begin assigned to teach in academic areas in which the teachers have little or no relevant educational trainin g. The abuse exists not onl y in peri phera l subjects but is also found in the basics-science, math , Eng lish and history. The extent of the problem has never been full y documented because, though each state requires the certification or licensing of its teachers , most state delegate to local school administrations the power to assign teachers outside of their areas of ex pertise or allow the use of substitute teachers outside of their f ield of academic _ _ f , preparation. Audits of local school district practices by state officials are often infrequent , and conduct by personnel outside the traditional education structure of the state. The problem of teacher misassignment came to light during a survey of all state education departments to learn what regulations governed out-of-field teaching and - what statistics had been collected to show how many teachers were working in fields in which they have no academic preparation. ' Based on the survey results , it seems clear that the nation faces a genuine educational scandal , although the number of teachers with out-of-field assignments may represent a small percentage of the state 's teacher workforce. In Utah , for example, 82.1 percent of earth science, 28.3 percent of math , and 25.1 percent of history classes were the chief assignments of teacher who either lacked a college major or minor in the subject. In North Carolina , 60.1 percent of the out-of-field teachers were in reading, 37.3 percent in math , 30.4 percent in science, and 22.5 percent in English. Like many of the states , Pennsy lvania was not sing led out for any special mention statisticall y because no one knows the extent of the problem. On paper , the state 's regulations seem iron-clad enough. Teachers are not to be assigned to teach in areas outside of their certification. But emergencies arise.And there are staffing problems that dictate some misassi gnment. Everyone recognizes the need for some leg itimate administrative flexibility to meet emergencies, to cover classes temporarily, and to offe r some special classes. When no properl y certified teacher is available , an emergency certificate is issued to a teacher "hav ing a reasonable concentratio n of colleg iate-level course work in the area of the emergency request ." That is the official position. What state officials do not know is exactly how much out-of-field teaching is taking place under the current emergency certification procedures. _ Did you know?

Further , state officials have no accurate count of how many teachers are teaching out-of-field without emergency certificates. Even thoug h there are fairl y significa nt financial penalties levied on school districts for violations of certification procedures, it is usual y eight or nine years between regularl y scheduled certification audits for each school districts. Because the extent of the problem in Pennsylvania is obscured by a paucity of reliable data , it 's difficult to know exactly how much harm is being done educationall y to the students of the Commonwealth. It is difficult to assess the damage, but it is perhaps more than we currentl y realize. The use of inappropriatel y assigned teachers, if extensive, has profoundly negative effect on educational quality. This practice will hinder the real progress being made in upgrading and reforming the state's educational system. If teacher misassignment is a serious problem in the state, educational officials should know about it. And its practice should be more closely regulated and curtailed.

Most died within days or weeks. Ask him how many Ukranian farmers starved to death on the most productive land in the world after their produce was confiscated for exports so Russia could buy weaponry with which to enslave the other half of the world. The students are scheduled to visit Leningrad , Moscow, Kiev and Odessa; something no ordinary Soviet citizen can do without government permission. Soviet citizens must have an internal passport to travel within the country. Imag ine having to get a visa to go to New Jersey. Ask the guide how many Afghanis were poisoned by gas this week or how many Afghan children were blinded or lost limbs by antipersonnel mines disguised as toys. Any Bloomsburg student can sign up for this tour. Soviet students visiting the United States must be government toadies to be permitted to go abroad (otherwise they wouldn 't be trusted to return to their seven million square mile prison) . Even they are debriefed for weeks upon their return . The Soviet bloc is one part of the developed world which doesn 't have an illegal alien problem. Apparently, U.S. students who return from Russia (probably none will defect) are expected to be turned into full-grown Samatha Smiths (may she rest in peace) . While it is unlikely that they will be turned into cloying, nauseating Russian pawns to quite the degree of that poor little girl , it has happened to very experienced and worldly people. Jimmy Carter actually kissed Leonid Breznev, a man personally responsible for the execution of thousands of his own people. Harry Truman once said of Stalin, "I like old Joe" (imagine: "I like old Adolf"). Old Joe's tally of murders, while literally incalculable runs into eight figures. I wouldn't go so far as to advise students not to go. I. would probably go if offered a free seat (How long I would be permitted to stay is another matter). But everyone who goes should realize the everything they don 't see by accident has been carefull y prepared for them and other foreign visitors. I don 't know what exactly can be "studied" on such a trip. Two weeks curled up with The Gulag Archipelago would be much more, instructive. Be it sufficient warning that everything seen and heard should be taken with a grain of salt , whieh is one of the few commodities ordinary Russians can buy in their stores. • Dear Editor, What is the problem with the students of Bloomsburg University ? In last week's Community Government Association elections, only 15 percent of the population showed up to vote. It seems funny to me that so many people on campus were upset when the CGA wanted to have their own banquet , but when it comes time for them to vote. they don t. It also upset me to see that people were complaining about Tim Keffer and Don Chomiak . "It is like going from the Reagan administration to the Carter administration ," they said. I didn 't see them put their names on the ballot to run for office, in any of the positions. Now that Keffer is going to be the next president of the CGA, I wish him the best of luck in that position. I have never held a student government job, but I know from talking to Sean Mullen and Jill Lippencott that it is not only a difficult job , but a time consuming one. This leads me to another point. Anybody who runs for this office deserves a lot of credit. It takes a lot of guts to run for a position when you realize it is going to take up so much of your time. For the people who have complaints with the CGA, did you vote? How about next year, when you feel that things are not going your way, ask yourself , did I vote? I don 't think it is as much the president 's fault when something goes wrong as it is the senate 's fault. When the controversial banquet vote was taken , Mullen didn 't even have a vote. It was all the senate members who voted for it and I didn 't hear of any student going to their student senator and complaining to them. It may sound like I am rambl- ' ing off at the mouth , but I believe the CGA has done a fine job in the past and will continue to do a fine job in the future. As Tim Keff er said , it is not necessarily the experience you have before you go into the elections, because you learn as you go. CGA supporter Did you know? WHLM Radio was named after Harry L.

Nearly one half of the entire federal budget is allocated to defense in some respect. Almost the entire defense budget is completely exempt from the cuts proposed in Gramm-Rudman. CAS supports the attempts to balance the budget but questions the means through which this is being done.

Participants do not have to be fulltime students at BU or any other college or university. The opportunity is open to alumni , senior citizens, and non-students. Schwimmer feels this is and asset . "The students will come from a wide backround . There will be senior citizens and students. Experience will be a big contribution." Room , board , and one-day weekend trips in conjuction with the course elected by the student are covered by a program fee of $750. Tuition, $250 per three credit course, airfare, and weekend meals are additional . Airfare can be arranged by the student or by the Center for International Studies.

"Boys with Toys" to bring their music to BU by Brid get Gasper for the Voice Boys with Toys and their energetic sound will be coming to Bloomsburg on Feb. 27, to rock the Kehr Union . Option Magazine , of Los Angles, Ca., commented on Boys with Toys saying, "Wow! This music doesn't just glide off the turntable...it leaps, crackling with electricity along the way..." The three young Iowa boys formed their band in the spring of 1983. Their idea was to create a vesion of rock and roll similar to what they grew up with . Now their style, as quoted from the San Antonio Original is "...rock and roll at some of its purest..." The one responsible for putting the drive into the group 's sound is Pat "Barn-Bam " McGraw. Next in line is drummer Tommy Meyer who adds harmony and solid , fastpaced percussion to their music, while standing up. He never sits down while playing. The third member is Brad Jones, the band's main songwriter. Hot Fud ge Records notes their "spunk , spirit , and spontaneity," is in their songs which are written about ralationships and personal particulars . The Program Board will be hosting Boys with Toys and their infectious sound . This is a great time to escape and listen to a new band on the rise. Did you know? Shigechiyo Izumi , who had the oldest verifiable birth date in the world, died of pneumonia Friday. He was 120. 4 'Student at Large" Don Chomiak Maya Angelou to speak at BU World renowned author,educator,historian,dancer,producer,and songwriter Maya Angelou has appeared on several college campuses several years. Angelou will be appearing at BU on Tuesday. Tall, stately and handsome, carrying herself with the dignity derived from centuries fo a proud African herigage, Maya Angelou is the epitome of beautiful serenity. But the serenity actually is just a cloak for a sensitive, intelligent and eloquent woman who speaks lyrically with vigor, wit , fire and perception . With just a high school education , she had been a singer, educator, dancer, author, historian, lecturer, actress, producer, editor, song writer and playwright. She speaks six languages fluently. Angelou was born in St.. Louis, Missouri , but spent most of her early childhood with her grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. In 1940 Angelou and her family moved to San Fransico where she completed her schooling in 1945. She discoverd that writing poetry brought relief from the problems of ordinary living . Determined to carve out a stage career, Angelou studied dance and drama at night while working a variety of jobs. In 1952 her career took a significant upturn. She received a scholarship to study dance with Pearl Primus in New York. Angelou made her fi rst professional apperanace at . the Purple Onion as a singer upon return to San Fransico in 1954. She joined the European touring company of Porgyand Bess singing the role of "Ruby " and was the lead dancer in this production during 1954 and 1955. It was presented in 22 countries in Europe and Africa. Between times she taught modern dance at the Rome Opera House and conducted classes in modern dance technique in the Habima Theatre in Tel Aviv. While living in "Africa , Angelou became the associate editor of The A rab Observer , the only English news weekly in the Middle East. She wrote freelance articles for The Ghanaian Times and the Ghanaian Broadcasting Corporation in Accra. Angelou became and assistant administrator of the School of Music and Drama in the University of Ghana . She concluded her stay in Africa in 1966 as a feature editor of The African Review in Accra. Random House has published eight bestsellers by Angelou including: / Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Just Give Me a Cool ' ere i Diiie ', Drink of Water F Gather Together in My Name, Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well, Singin ' and Swingin ' and Gettin ' Merry Like Christmas, And Still I Rise, The Heartofa Woman, and Shaker, Why Don 't You Sing. Because of the overwhelming demand for these publications, all have been reprinted in paperback. Angelou has made over 150 TV appearances on network and local talk shows which include The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Merv Griffin , Mike Douglas, and Kup 's Show. She was also the sub- ject of an hour interview by Bill Moyers on PBS. Angelou was writer-producer for the 20th Century Fox TV, for whom her film , Sister, Sisters, was her initial full-leng ht effort . Her renown autobiographical accont of her youth , / Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, was aired on a two hour TV special for CBS in April 1979. Other television accomplishments include the five part miniseries for CBS, Three Way Choice, for which Angelou was author and executive producer. She has hosted a study course filmed in thirty half-hour segments, Humanities Through the Arts, produced at Golden State University and syndicated throughtout the country for PBS. In 1977 Angelou received the coveted Golden Eagle Award for her documentary, Afro-American in the Arts, for PBS. Honors from institutes of higher education have been heaped upon Angelou , among then the Chubb Fellowship from Yale, doctorates i from Mills College, Lawrence University, Columbia College (Chicago), Occidental College, Central State University and Smith College, and she holds the Reynolds Chair at Wake Forest Universiy. Angelou has had articles published in countless national publications. She was accorded The iLadies Home Journal award, "Woman of the Year in Communications," She has also been voted Ladies Home Journal "Top 100 Most Influential Women." Angelou's musical , And Still I Rise, for which she is libretist , lyricist and composer, is due for Broadway opening in the near future. Angelou served on Jimmy Carter s Presidential Commission for International Woman's Year (1978-1979). Angelou 's appearnaces on college campuses and before private organizations are legendary. Her wealth of information and abililty to speak with authority on countless subjects such as equal rigths, the arts, politics, women's role in business, culture's role in society, make Angelou one of the today 's most in-demand personalities. Angelou will appear at Bloomsburg University on Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. in Carver Hall. "Sweet Sa turday Night" talent (continued from page 6) to the contributions of black music and dance. From the beginings in Africa to the breakdancing of today, Sweet Saturday Night was a performance that was blessed with talent , and one that left the audience with a new understanding . Just little old me Strutting down the street, it is too bad the "Miami Vice" theme is not playing in the backround . Then again , I quess it just would not work. In an age where "super" people are as easy to find as changing the channel , the real but regular folk have become much les*s credible, less believalbe. No longer is anyone willing to completely trust the word of someone who is not out saving at least a whole city, if not the world. "You are too normal looking, to average not to be up to something. " We have become a race a skeptics about our own kind . Looking at the word average, though , it is easy to see "why we doubt. Finding an average is bring ing positive and negative aspects to some middle ground. If "normals " show positive outward qualities (attractiveness , per """ sonality, etc.), then there must be something devious underneath . Otherwise, these people would have their own T.V. shows, or at least the "Miame Vice" theme playing in their background. What makes it all the more difficult for the"regular people is that their best qualities are commomplace on T.V.A pretty woman f on television, with the aid of makeup, camera angles, and lighting, can appear perfect. All that is missing is the scent of some perfume bought with a home mortage. The most beautiful real woman is somehow flawed, however slightly. It is this flaw that makes her legitimate. Without it , she could be a plastic doll , playing house with Ken and Malibu Barbie. The "Super-Friends" are used on T.V. to help teach kids right from wrong. Since they are the good guys, saving the world at least once a show, kids cannot help lending them more credibility than Dad , who has never leaped a tall building in his life. As I slip off my cape and button a white shirt over the big "S" on my chest, I resign myself to my position in life. I put on my glasses and return to being the mild mannered journalist everyone knows and never completely believes. Yeah, it would be nice to have the "Miami Vice" theme playing in the backround and be a true authority. I quess I'll just have to settle for the theme from that movie , starring Christop her Reeves, and dream about speedboats, five o'clock shadow, and girls on the beach .
