Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity suspended following injury 'He's up and around, and he's going to classes,' said Vice-president John Walker by Jerry Wiese Staff Writer Bloomsburg University officials have temporarily suspended the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity from all activities after a prospective member was injured Friday night at the fraternity 's house. "A temporary suspension means they have to cease all activitiessocial and otherwise-until the suspension is lifted or other action is taken," said Dr. John Walker, vice-president of Institutional Advancement. Walker said Dean Robert Norton from the office of student life is investigating by talking with involved parties. "Dean Norton apparently felt he had enough information to take action immediately, and temporarily suspend the fraternity," said Walker. "I think it may have to do with a violation of the university alcohol policy," Walker added. Jeffrey Kuhns, who lives in Montour Hall , was hurt in a fall about 1 a.m. Friday morning at the Lamda Chi house, 980 W. Main st., near the West End Service Station , university officials said. The incident occured during a time when BU fraternities and sororities are actively recruiting members. Administration officials declined to say, however, whether the incident was pledge-related . Lambda Chi President Doran Douglass, a junior, said the fraternity doesn 't have a pledge system and doesn 't wish to be compared to other fraternities that practice traditional pledging around this time of the year. Instead , Kuhns was an "associate" of the fraternity and was in line to become a member. Being an associate of Lambda Chi involves "no mental abuse or anything to that effect ," Douglass said. An associate becomes a member through a series of visits with fraternity members. Douglass went on to say no function was listed for the fraternity house Thursday night. Fraternity members declined further comment about the inci- No more free Sunday afternoons says IFC by David Decoteau for the Voice The Interfraternity Conference (IFC) voted on Feb. 2 not to provide the spring 1986 pledge classes with Sundays off between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. "You people don 't know what 's good for you. We keep trying to improve the greek system and you keep tearing it down," said Dean Norton, who initiated the proposal, immediately after the IPC 's vote. Norton said the Sundays off proposal would help pledges with their studies, give them some time to forget about pledging and relax. The proposal, however, was defeated by a one-third in favor to two-thirds opposed vote . Arguments against the proposal were numerous. "Our pledging is already only 19 days long. If we knock off Sundays, that makes our pledging only 17 days long. That 's too short for us to fit in all of our pledging activities ," Kevin McCann, Sigma Iota Omega, said. Other IFC representatives discussed possible violations of the rule due to scavenger hunts and rigid signature schedules. Elimination of certain traditional Sunday activities within fraternities ' pledging programs was also discussed . Distinctions between what constituted a violation and what did not were not clear. Many fraternity representatives asked about the punishments for violations of the new proposal. Norton said any violations of the proposal would be handled by the greek IFC Judicial Board, therefore, the greeks would judge what was a violation and what was not. IFC President Mike Gigler was also discouraged by the proposal's defeat. "I was in favor of the proposal," said Gigler. "I believe that more free time would benefit pledges and associates with their studies and personal lives. I think the Sundays off proposal could have been a deciding factor for students who aren't sure whether to pledge or not." dent until the investigation is complete. Walker said a preliminary investigation revealed that the incident happened during an unscheduled social event at the fraternity house. "It had to do with a big brother-little brother event related to the fraternity 's association process," Walker said . Although details of the incident were unavailable, Walker said Kuhns, a freshman , suffered a head or neck injury at the fraternity house and was taken to the Bloomsburg Hospital, and later transferred to Geisinger Medical Center. "He's up and around, and is going to class. He hasn 't missed any classes as a result of the incident," Walker said. At this point , Walker said he is unaware pf any . legal action pending against the fraternity or the university. Douglass said the fraternity has had some troubles before. "Within the past 10 years, I'm sure we've been placed on probation," he (continued on page 2) BU offers equal opportunities for all When it comes to race relations, affirmative action and mainstreaming minorities, many people would rather "just not talk about the situation "-wish the problems away. Not at Bloomsburg University. Some years ago, BU embarrassingly found itself and Pennsylvania among several southern states under federal court order to desegregate its student body. The call came amidst national declines in overall student enrollments as well as a disproportionate decline in the number of blacks entering hig her education. For Bloomsburg, the task would be even toug her because of its loeation-in a 99 percent white Columbia County and some 2V*i hours away from Philadelphia , the area 's nearest heavy concentration of blacks. Furthermore, in addition to the state's 14public universities, Pennsylvania has more than 100 other colleges competing for the same few minority students. Despite these obstacles, the BU administration decided it must find successful avenues to not onJy fulfill the federal court order, but to add diversity to its population for the betterment of its overall student body and the university community. "We had to be creative in our recruiting and retention programs," said Larry Jones, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Bloomsburg. Aside from the typical recruiting tactics as using student search services lists for written contact with prospective students, participating in high school visitations and college fair programs and utilizing the usual recruitment media, BU's admission staff tried and was successful in some non-traditional recruiting and retention methods.

Penny Broach-Britt , coordinator ot the program and a BU admissions counselor , said many of the College Samp ler partici pants later attend Bloomsburg. "They all have SAT scores above 900," she added. Another incentive for minorities to come to BU is the tuition remission program. The Board of Governors of the State System of Hi gher Education allows tuition remission for up to 15 outstanding minority students attending BU. The university makes sure minority students are awa re of other scholarship awards for which they can compete. Also helping to bring minorities to campus are minority graduates and other minority students. The university annually plans a minority alumni day whereby graduates return to campus to help the university in the areas of minority retention and recruitment. Minority students sometimes join recruiters on* ,visits to their high school alma maters and make follow-up calls to prospective students to answer any questions they might have about attending B.U. Once the students have been admitted to BU , retention becomes important. Many of them not only enter the new env ironment of college, but also an environment of trul y being in the minority. The university 's most helpful programs in addressing the minority student 's urge to quit college include traditional efforts such as counseling and mentoring. Yet, the nontraditional annual retreat program, designed for and by minority students , is the most popular. During the weekend away from campus and the majority white population , the minorities relaxtelling their adjustment problems , Hicnnssina re.atinrK and getrace relations discussing race, know one another. How to ting to find an apartment off campus, how to handle possible acts of racism , appreciating cultural differences, getting involved in campus organizations and improving study habits are a few of the sessions offered . White or non-white, the university 's Center for Academic Development , for the last decade, has contributed to the recruitment and retention of academically unde rdeveloped students. Identified as persons who show potential to benefit from a college education , these students gain specialized instruction , tutoring, counseling and academic advisement from the CAD staff. CAD, each year, helps to mainstream some 50 minority students into the traditional classroom setting. With the creative recruitment and retention programs combined , Bloomsburg has managed to not onl y meet the* requirements of the federal court order, it has exceeded the minimu m requirements. The university now has more than the approximate fi ve percent minority population ordered by the court . That is more than 200 minorities-readying themselves for the real world, one that is neither black nor white, but a multitude of colors. President Harry Ausprich is further commited to improved minority recruitment and retention methods. He has already met with several black and hispanic constituents helping them with their con cerns, hopes and any special needs. He has immediate p lans to increase the number of minority employees at BU, consequently increasing role models for students and contributing to the retention of minority students and a better environment for all concerned .

Anger, disbelief , hurt , frustation? After hearing about the fights of the past two weeks, I wonder about the true meaning of the word "party.'' I do not have all the facts about how these fights were started, who started them or who "won", but I have heard that they all involved alcohol in some way. Nov/ 1 am not going to preach to anyone on the subject of drinking. I enjoy going to Hess and Lemons' as much as the next person. The point I want to make is that something is definitely wrong when these "good times " turn into physical battles between people who are intoxicated. When people get drunk they seem to forget that they are still human and have not been transformed into superpeople. People also seem to blow the littlest comment or look way out of proportion and use it as an excuse to start a fight. The perfect solution is to stop drinking. This solution would rid people of these superpeople illu- sions they sometimes experience. And it would rid some people of the need to bash in a head because someone else looked at their shirt. But even I cannot agree with this solution. First , because it could never be accomplished and second , because I enjoy a few drinks after a hard day or when I am hanging out with my friends. So what do we do as a society of people who obviously do not like seeing their friends getting beaten or starting fi ghts? The stock answer is education. Educate everyone on the dangers of drinking and driving? Educate people on how to act in a bar when they are drunk? Educate people on how to stop themselves from picking fights with others when they are drunk? But at this point in our lives how many will really listen? We all know everything and don 't need anyone else telling us what to do and how to do it. But there is a problem and we need to address it now!.Too many people are being seriously hurtphysically and emotionally. Don't we have enough violence in our world now? Why must we encourage more violence when we are supposed to be enjoying ourselves and our friends? I am so frustrated at this point and utterly at a loss for a liveable solution to this problem. I don 't think it 's too much to want to prevent this from continuing. Who knows, the next person to be beaten could be your boyfriend or brother. Do we have to wait tiU that happens until we decide that something definitely has to be done. Maybe the only thing we can do is to be very careful and attentive to the people we are with. If we see that something might be starting, then we should get involved to stop a confrontation . So what if you look like a wimp who can't fight or you make someone else look like a coward. You may be saving their lives. And who really is the bigger wimp~the person who decides to stop fighting or the person who wants only to prove themselves with their fistsdrunken fists at that. As I said I have no answers or definite solutions to this problem , but can only hope that more of us will take a very serious look at this situation. Swimmers congratulated for season 's efforts Dear Editor, I would like to congratulate Bloomsburg University 's women's swimming and diving team representatives for an excellent performance this past weekend at the Pennsy lvania Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. However, I would like to comment on the score of 0 for Mansfield University listed in the February 24 swimming article. One member of the Mansfield women 's team qualified for the state meet in several backstroke and freestyle events. This swimmer was a member of their qualify ing relay team also. At Mansfield's final meet of the season she severely injured her shoulder and was strongly advised not to swim at States. She was the only member of the team to qualify in individual events and an alternate swimmer could not replace her on the relay team. Therefore Mansfield did not even attend the PSAC Championships.

Too much time being spent on criticizing human imperf ection Performance, so much is jud ged by it. Today, on the stage or in writing, a good performance seems to be required and no longer an accomplishment. In a professional setting, where the 'performer' is paid for results, this is acceptable. Consider, though , a non-professional ; the college performer. I was asked to address this issue and to be totally honest, I'm angry! So many people on this campus expect perfection from the theatre, Bloom Magazine, the band, the Voice, and other student groups on campus. The first thing that must be remembered is that these activities are voluntary.(It is true that for people taking certain theatre classes many hours are required , but most do far more than they 'have to.') The individuals in these organizations participate because they enjoy being involved. In addition to this, it should be mentioned that these students do have classes and many are participating in several other activities as well. The students involved in activities requiring the attention of the campus community, be it a theatre presentation, a written work, or artwork, are trying to perfect their craft. Criticism from others who are also involved is acceptable when within reason , but the worst to take is that which comes from those who have little or no commitment to anything. Too many students are too caught up in just being here and fail to realize that organizations and activities, outside of partying, do have something to offer. It is the criticism of these people that often frustrates the students who are out there doing something. It is easy to sit on the sidelines and complain. Those who do it are at no risk. To risk criticism is to get involved. It infuriates me to see dedicated people criticized by those who are sitting on 'their hands and foaming at the mouth . Perfection in performance. It is a goal that many strive for. It is also practically impossible to reach. To demand perfection from someone who is committed to more than the performance is stupidity. It is comparable to asking the college team to go out and beat the pros. Having been involved in many activities at B.U., I know what kind of effort is being put out by those dedicated to what they are doing. It is a crime for them to take abuse from the loud mouths who have a major, a meal ticket, a place to sleep, money to party, and little else. A solution. If you are.upset by what I have written, then write and let me know about it. Do not simply flap your gum. If you are downing the performers at B.U. and are not involved, then get involved or shut up. We do not need it.

Amazing Kreskin mystifies BU with his mental abilities part of his performance. On one occassion , at a coliseum in New Zealand , he forfeited $51,000 when he failed to locate his fee during his "check test." A member of the committee had not been concentrating on the location of the check. However, he says he has missed his fee only nine times in his entire performing career.

Just as it seemed the Huskies had the game sewn up, the West Chester squad caught fire as BU went cold. Leading 49-40 with 7:14 to play in the game, BU seemed a sure bet to move on to the next round of conference play at Slippery Rock. But then , just as the Huskies players started breathing easy, West Chester put the hammer down. The Rams Linda Vidovich canned a bucket at the 7:02 mark to make the score 49-42. Cecelia Rodden followed with a short jumper to bring West Chester to 49-44, and BU coach Sue Hibbs called time out at 5:37 to try and regroup her forces. It was to no avail. _<_^_L _<_&_ "I get most nervous when our leads get the biggest," said Hibbs. "Our kids have a complacency problem , whether it 's a game or a point edge." After the time out , West Chester proceeded to score 11 more unanswered points. But what made matters worse, nine of those points came from the foul line. Rodden hit one free throw, and Leslie Mensch followed with a field goal to bring West Chester within two, 49-47, with 4:56 remaining. Mensch followed with two more from the line, Rodden two more, Vidovich two more, and Sara Flanagan another pair. When the dust cleared , it was West Chester 55, Bloomsburg 49, with only 1:56 to play. It had been an incredible 5:32 between scores for BU when Linda King hit her only basket of the night at the 1:42 mark. The Huskies tried to rally in the little bit of time left , but the Rams took advantage of BU fouls by hitting an additional nine free throws in the final 1:20. In all , 17 of West Chester 's final 19 points came from the charity stripe. "Dumb fouls on Ceil Rodden , whom we knew was the most dangerous , to put on the foul line , killed us in the end ," said Hibbs. Like the game only three days previous between the two teams, the first and second halves were near mirror images of each other. In the first half of Tuesday night 's encounter, BU jumped out to a quick 10-2 lead , but West Chester clawed back and eventually grabbed a 16-15 lead with 6:18 remaining in the first half. Amy Wolf, Sue Kocher, and Theresa Lorenzi canned field goals to give the Huskies back the lead , but the Rams outscored BU 9-2 to take a 25-22 lead. The teams played evenly the rest of the half , and West Chester held a 29-25 half time lead . BU turned the game around to start the second half. Wolf opened the festivities with a field goal . Mensch interrupted the Husky rally with a free throw, but baskets by Lorenzi , Wolf, two more by Lorenzi , two Carla Shearer buckets sandwiched around yet another by Lorenzi , Sanders looking for Husky triumph at EWL tournament H Roger Sanders sums up his evaluation of his teams chances to win this weekend's Eastern Wrestling League Championships in one sentence.
