campus Chancellor McCormick speaks at First TV broadcast student newspaper press conference to be telethon by Christine Lyons Executive Editor Chancellor of the State System of Higher Education James H. McCormick said Monday at a SSHE- student newspaper press conference, he wants to keep the system "strai ght A." "The system should be accountable, accommodating, accessible and affordable," McCormick said. He added that all 14 state universities, with his office, need to work together to advocate this system. SSHE this year asked state legislature for a 9.9 percent increase over the 1985-86 budget for the fiscal year 1986-87. "The major goal of the increase in the budget is to stabilize tuition costs," McCormick said. The student conference, in Harrisburg, was the second between the chancellor and his senior staff and the system 's 14 student newpaper editors. Senior editors and advisors from 8 of the 14 state universities were represented at the conference. McCormick explained the progress the system has made since its implementation in July 1983. House Bill 188 is a direction statement for what was required of the system. The chancellor 's office has developed a more efficient finance management system. "This system will make the money go farther," McCormick said. "We want low-cost, highquality education for everyone." McCormick sought a variety of questions from student editors in an attempt to keep open lines of communication between the chancellor 's office and the 14 universities. McCormick called for a mobilized effort by the SSHE, parents, students, alumni and community to keep tuition stable. He said , "It 's best for groups to talk to their legislators, but each group must do what it believes is most effective for the group." Minority recruitment and retention was a major topic of discussion by the chancellor and his staff. "We are half-way through a fiveyear recruitment program that will bring more minority students into the 13 historically white universities," McCormick said. The SSHE budget allocated CGA Senate Meeting Future expansion of Kehr Union p roposed by Karen Reiss Staff Writer A referendum to expand the Kehr Union may be added to the ballot at the class officer elections if the Community Government Association senate votes to do so. Director of Student Activities Dr. John Trathen presented the proposed expansion to members of the senate to decide whether or not the referendum should appear. Cost for the work is estimated at $2.5 million which would be collected through the Kehr Union fee. "The fee, which is now $10 would be raised to $30 maximum ," Trathen said. "With current student enrollment , the work could probably be paid for in less than 30 years." Increase in the Union fee would not go into effect until 1990; Numerous meetings were held with faculty, staff, students and administrators to determine what should be included in the expansion to accommodate the growing student involvement at BU. "The snack bar area would be upgraded to meet the demand at peak hours ," Trathen said . A scramble system would be installed to avoid congestion at peak times. "With this system ," he exp lained , "students would be able to pick and choose without waiting in a long line. One area would be for drinks , One for hamburgers and so on. Also, because extra seating would be added , a possible meal equivalency plan could be installed so students would not always have to go to the Commons. Other proposed additions to the Union are a health center, which would be closer to campus and easier to utilize. Also, an organiza(continued on page 2) $350,000 to this recruitment and retention program and the Governor 's Scholarship Program helps to bring more white students into predominately black Cheyney University. . James H. McCormick The recruitment rate for freshmen was up 17 percent last September. "Our problem of retention is not unusual and it happens everywhere," McCormick said. SSHE Director of Communication Janice Fitzgerald explained the use of "quotas." "There are no quotas, but ambitious goals," she said . Measures being taken to recruit more minority students are to achieve goals, not to fill quotas. Executive Director for the Chancellor Dr. Sam Craig explained , "These goals are set through a rational process for direction ." He said that more intense attention and action may be needed to achieve these goals. Craig talked about the reasons students do not stay at universities. Academic problems , homesickness, and community acceptance are mainly responsible for low retention rates. Retention rate for white students is 60 percent, but retention rate for black students is 30 percent. Craig said the goal is to narrow these discrepancies and encourage (continued on page 2) Luzerne Hall residents pay for damage ; door remains to be seen by Lynne Ernst Staff Writer Last year every resident of Luzerne Hall had to pay $3 to hel p pay for a broken door. The sum of the money collected was approximately $800, almost enough to pay for a new door. At the end of the Fall Semester of 1984, a folding door in Luzerne 's first floor recreation area was broken. The door partitioned the ping pong area from the T.V. room. The person responsible for the damage was never discovered so every Luzerne resident had to pay $3 toward the new door. Residents were told that if they did not pay, their schedules would be dropped and they would not be able to return. Last year 's residents are now wondering where the new door is and where their money went . Many students expressed their desire for reimbursement or results. Former Luzerne residents Jim Chisesi and Don Wolfe became concerned when they noticed the broken door had not been replac- ed. Chisesi and Wolfe, like many other residents, wanted to know what happened to their money and if a door was ever going to be purchased . Many of last year 's residents thought the door had been forgotten and Chisesi said , "If that is the fact, why don 't we get our money back?" Luzerne 's Resident Dean Don Young said the delays began when the money was being collected . Residents were hesitant to pay because they believed they should not be held responsible for the damage. Also, many students did not want to see the same door purchased since the problem could occur again. The biggest delay continues to be the decision of what kind of door should be purchased . The idea of a cinder block wall with a door in the middle has been considered , but a final decision has not been reached . Young assures the former residents that the money is still there, and the project has not been forgotten. "I just want to make sure it is done ri ght.

The questions are answered by Shay Butasek, R. N. -Health Center. The following questions and answers will focus on AIDS as a follow-up to the well attended seminar on Monday night. Q. What does AIDS stand for? A. It is short for Acquired (not inherited) Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Q. What causes AIDS? A. AIDS is caused by a "retrovirus" but will be referred to as a virus. It is called Human T-Lymphotrophic Virus, Type III , or HTLVIII. The virus is very fragile and does not survive outside of body cells. It is present in the semen, blood, or vaginal secretions of people who have been infected, whether or not they show symptoms. Q. Can I get AIDS from someone I go to class with , from a toilet seat , or someone J. work with ? A. There have been no proven cases in which AIDS has been transmitted by casual contact of any kind. Objects touched or handled by people with AIDS are not "contaminated" and need not be feared. The only possible exceptions are objects that might be contaminated with blood, especially razors, toothbrushes, and tweezers. If you attended the AIDS seminar this week, you heard one of the speakers describe the study of a pair of young twins, one of whom had contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion. Despite the fact that these twins shared a bed and were in constant close contact, the second twin did not have AIDS. Q. Who gets AIDS? A. By now you probably know that sexually active homosexual and bisexual men are in the highest risk group, 73 percent, second are intravenous drug abusers, then people with hemophilia and other clotting disorders. Only \ percent are heterosexual contacts of someone with AIDS. Q. How can I prevent myself fro m getting AIDS? A. Know your sex partner well before having sex .

They cloud your judgment and lead you to do things that you would not do with a clearer head-such as forgetting to use a condom. Do not share razors , toothbrushes, or tweezers with others. Lastly, do not allow yourself to have unnecessary fears regarding AIDS. Most fears are unfounded and are in themselves detrimental to your health, both emotionally and physicall y. Educate yourself about AIDS and other health problems. I also encourage you to come to the Health Center if you have any health concerns. All questions and concerns will be kept in confidence.

Cheyney is an accredited university at this point. It will be evaluated later this year by the Middle States Board to determine whether its accreditation should be maintained. Vice-Chancellor Dr. Emily Hannah outlined the development of new academic programs. "When SSHE took over, it inherited guidelines from the State Department of Education which allocated only certain programs to be implemented oft certain campuses ," she said . "These guidelines have been repealed and now each campus is leoked^t in? dividuall y to decide what programs are needed there." Hannah discussed the --need for a full array of programs on each campus-from a strong liberal arts program to strong professional programs. McCormick agreed with Hannah, but pushed the need for a very strong liberal arts program. ''Strong departments spring from a strong liberal arts program," McCormick said.

By getting some facts straight , the emotional part will be directed toward a positive solution for the good of the university. The damaged masonry features are not primarily because of those trees—delayed maintenance and improper use of chemicals (ice melters) caused the bulk of deterioration of the masonry structures. Tree roots had nothing to do with the major masonry projects recently completed in front of Centennial Gym. The original planters, which I believe involved , among others, Dr. E. H. Nelson and Dr. Francis Haas, should be complimented for planting the trees away from the building as they did . The trees have added beauty to the area for approximately 45 years. The trees are not towering nor do they have trunks three feet in diameter. I would agree, though , they are now overgrown and out of place for the area. . I suggest two ¦thing's: 1. Donate the existing spruce trees to the state capitol for use as Christmas trees., . . . .. . 2. Plant more trees on campus so these two don 't look out of place. The total campus is in need of 50 shade trees per year. There are more facts for planting trees on the Bloomsburg University campus; this will suf_. fice for now. . Sincerely, Charles L. Kocher blems is to make locker checks. However, the principal of the school must make this check through legal,/processes. . .

Now the parents are educating the children , and the schools, are making sure the hallways,are safe, what next? As explained on the Channel 10 special, a teenager can sell drugs on the street .corner and make $200-a-day. That beats the pants off - of working for $3.35 at a McDonalds. To a seller, who has a small chance of being arrested and an even smaller chance of being convicted, and for a first time offender the chance of receiving a harsh sentence is almost nil , the good consequences out weigh the bad ones. To help combat the drug problem , the consequences must out weigh the money that can be made Again , another discussion abou ' drugs and drug problems will eno. without any sure answers.

Greeting terminology changed by student association by Guy Spentzas At the last meeting of the Students Subversive Association, it was moved and passed unanimously that the greeting of "Hi" be outlawed from further use on the campus. It has been discovered that this greeting has been met with approval and extensive use by the student body(common herd) . The president also protested the fact that people are becomng friendly with each other. It was suggested by the Dean of Inter-Student Relations, that turner greetings between students be confined to a blank stare followed by a brief discussion of the good qualities of the Mascot Retirement Fund. The Dean of Rule Enforcement stated that punishment for using the word "Hi" will be administered in the council room where the offenders will be forced to stand for two days and listen to a record continually repeating the phrases "Hi Gang ", "Hi there", "Hi everybody ", "Hi", "Hi". A loud shrill laugh will follow these phrases. A vote was taken . A small group forming the opposition asked for liscussion before voting. They were removed from the room , however, nd the vote was taken in an orderly fashion. Surprisingly, the motion ;as carried unanimously. The action taken for disuse of the greeting "Hi" will be promulgated by memorandum in a few days. A slight delay will result in making copies of the memo, since it will take some time to obtain the necessary signatures and loyalty oaths required to use the ditto machine. Editor's note: This article was taken f r o mthe November 9, 1956 issue of The Maroon and Gold, the student newspaper of BloomsburgState Teachers College. I CAS wants a balanced budget; well who doesn 't? enough automatic cuts-equally divided between defense and nondefense spending~to bring the deficit down to $144 billion in fiscal 1987." The letter in The Voice also stated that , ' 'one half of the entire federal budget is allocated to defense in some respect." That statement is also false. From 1981 to now, the defense budget has never been more than 39 percent of the entire budget . Last year, the defense budget was $294.7 billion , ^compared to $770 billion for the total budget. This year, that percentage has dropped greatly. The president has asked for $265.8 i billion for defense and the total Dear Editor, This letter, is in response to a letter- to the editor in the Monday, Feb. 24, 1986 issue of The Voice. The letter stated that the idea of, "one half of all budget deductions coming fro m defense," was false. Recently, an article in The Wall Street Journal stated the facts, (Feb. 6, 1986, p.3).

This is a drop of 11 percent to a rate of 27 percent for defense. The defense budget is obviously not exempt from GrammRudman-Hollings. Only certain areas of the entire budget are exempt. These, are - social security, food stamps, and medicaid . This is also shown in the article in The Wall Street Journal. In fact , social security receives a 6 percent increase, food stamps get a 1 percent increase, and medicaid gets a 4.8 percent increase. These are the only budget programs that are increased under Gramm-Rudman-Hollings. I thought it might be helpful to state the facts since they have been so over-looked and twisted recently. The CAS claims they want a balanced budget. Well who doesn 't? There are a variety of ways to achieve this, though. There is Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, or separate cuts made without the law, a tax increase just for the deficit, or a combination of these. With any method , there should be no favoritism as to what gets the money or what gets cut. Only safe-, ty net programs should be preserved.

In one sketch , she echoes the voices that try to "introduce " Schade to the world. In "Wonderland," she takes a bizarre journey through the carnival wonders and terrors of a sleazy midway. She becomes the talkative lady jammin g up the post office line, a secret agent peeling off identities like layers of an onion , and a loan applicant trying to borrow Time. As she daydreams over the kitchen sink , she enters a Walter Mitty world of Broadway stardon , nuclear martydom , and African witchcraft. One-person shows usuall y focus on either a major star or impersonation of some literary figure. La Cabaret does neither. The solo artist , Schade, has been shaped by dance training with Ina Harm, art studies at the Montserrat School of Design , and the motley world of the itinerant performer. After leaving the Universti y of Delaware, she joined ex-classmates in Boston to form the Gelosi Company, modelled on an Itallian commedia troupe. One show was Tales of Old Mother Goose, which toured throughout Boston. She also appeared OffBroadway in Fits, Seizures and Small Complaints. Recently, she conceived and directed two dance/theatre pieces, Moves and Resturant. In 1980, she was asked to create a one-woman piece for a Lancaster arts fair. Delving into her Mother Goose lore, she put verses into movement and explored the reality beneath the absurdity. "There's something about nonsense that makes sense to me," she comments. "It 's as if reality is a huge tapestry, and over time it gets obscured , things fray, get woven over it. But if you find that one spot where the funny threads are, and you pull like crazy, things happen." La Cabaret will be followed by BTE's "Incredible Chocolate Reception ," a smorgasbord of chocolate treats.

Since October 20, 1985, coproducers Kerry Desmond and Steve Firmstone have worked with executive producer Dr. Dana Ulloth to make the largest student production in the part of the state a success. This year 's Easter Seals Telethon is the "absolute best way to get experience " says Desmond. "Most students wouldn 't give up their weekends," replied Firmstone, "but the ones we have are committed ." The ones they have are a group of Mass Communication students who produced and directed almost all of the films and tapes which will be shown during the course of the show. They will also work the day of the telethon to get the show thro ugh to cable viewers on channel 13. This is the first time the new facilities in McCormick will be used together. "It was rough getting it to come all together for the first time ," said Desmond , "The experience hel ps more than any class." The three studios will function as the settings for the live portions of the show. The sets were designed by Bill O'Donnell of the Theatre Department and include the phone room with the tote board in Studio C, and an interview area in Studio B. In Studio A there will be a jail scene where prominant people from the community will be placed in jail until enough money is raised to pay their bail . Mayor Bauman p lans to participate. To make sure that everybody is in the right studio at the ri ght time there will be a crew of 30 students set up for traffic. "If traffic doesn 't do their job," said Desmond , "the technical aspects will loose ground ." The students who have prepared the tapes and who will work the day of the telethon are not the only ones to get involved . The university 's football team did a video which was directed by Ellen Manuel . Musical groups such as TROP-X, a rock and roll band made up of four university students , will be seen. The big band sound of "Pizazz " will also take part , as will "The Sophistica ted Gents " and Wendy Tennis, a junior Theat re major, who will sing two songs. There was also involvement by faculty members. Terry Hoover, facilities coordinato r, worked with the cable company. Public relations was handled by Theresa Russell-Loretz , and Dennis Hinde set up advertising. Outside of this and the guidance of Dana Ulloth , the telethon is a student production. "The community will have their eye on us ," says Desmond , "and other opportunities of practical experience may arise. It 's a chance to prove ourselves." Desmond and Firmstone both stated that the experience was beneficial to all the students involved , and the success of the telethon would be equa ll y beneficial to the university.

Many of Dr. Lynn Miller 's students have, and lived to tell about it. The students, from Miller 's Invertebrate Zoology class, went on a field trip to the Marine Science Consortium on Wallops Island , Virginia. While there, they took a consortium boat out on the bay and dredged the bottom for invertebrates that were put into a pot with carrots and potatoes, and then eaten Miller and Dr. Fredrick Hill are two BU professors from the Biology and Allied Health department who plan and attend these fieldtri ps. The Marine Science Consortium is a non-profit organization dedicated to promote teaching and research in marine sciences. It is located on the mainland of Virginia 's coast, with easy access to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, the Assateague National Seashore, and NASA Wallops Island. Bloomsburg University, along with many other universities and colleges, contributes $2,500 each year to the consortium for upkeep. This fee entitles the faculty of the science departments of the universties to use the services and opportunities provided by the consortium. The cost to the individual is approximately $35, and . includes room and board for the weekend , and the use of consortium vessels and anal ytica l equipment. The trips are open to any student or faculty member who wishes to attend. In the past , the number of people participating varies from 20 to 40. Transportation to and from the consortium is provided by the university. The cost is approx- imately $800 for each trip. State vehicles or those rented from an outside dealer are used . According to Hill , the old state vechiles are "in terrible shape, and some are dangerous." There is also a problem with availability of state vehicles. Often the professors would like to make spontaneous trips to the island after a storm or hurricane, to study the effect the storm has on the island 's plant and animal life. The state vehicles are used by many organizations on campus and are usually booked in advance. Thus the professors are the forced to find other transportation . The professors in the biqlogy department try to schedule at least one tri p each year. They have recentl y asked Dr. Harry Ausprich , president of Bloomsburg University, to provide funding for at least three trips a year. No reply has been given. A typical day for Hill' s class usually begins with some earlymorning birdwatching, followed by breakfast . After breakfast, the class will "usually-fake-aboat out and dredge for critters," according to Hill. They identify the things they find, but unlike Miller 's class, they return the finds to the. bay. The afternoons are spent on Chincoteague beach. Students can spend the time searching for vertebrates, of invertebrates, birdwatching, of realxing on the beach. According to Hill , the evenings are often spent in Chincoteague Inn , which he describes as "the birth-place of the red-necks." Here the students and faculty can study the habits and cutoms of the local fisherman , or just relax after a long, but educational day at the beach. The next trip is scheduled for the weekend fo April 18. If you are interested , contact either Drs. Hill , Miller, Sager, or KlingeTof the biology department. The alarm rang and Joyce began to prepare for the class she had at eight. Peering out her dorm window, she gazed out at Bloomsburg University 's campus, buried under four inches of snow. She then looked upward at the additional two to four inches that continued to slowly, deliberately fall. Steeling herself against a wish to return to the warmthe and safety of her bed , she dresssed and gathered her books. Slipping on her jacket, Joyce stepped into the elevator and arrived at the lobby ready to face the snow , Mother Nature , Don Chomiak and just maybe , God. The slopes of Bloomsburg University present a hazard to even veteran climbers. Joyce knows that the slightest mistake will lead to at least embarrassment, if not injury. It is early and the maintenance people are just beginning to get started clearing the most important byways. Repulsed at the thought of paying overtime, the University does not have them out earlier. Climbing the steps, Joyce makes it to the last patch of level ground between her dorm, Schuylkill , and the basketball courts on the upper campus. She knows that this is where the real test of her balance, determination , and spirit will take place. As she reaches the top of the sidewalk that runs along Montour Hall , she sees a guy take the first Great-White-Plunge of the morning. He j umps up, brushes himself order, call the BTE box office at 784-8181. The box office is located at 226 Center Street and is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Mondays through Fridays, noon to 2 p.m. Saturdays, and 1 hour before performances.

Repeaters by Dave Torrisi for the Voice The men's intramural basketball playoffs are scheduled to begin tonight in what should be one of the most competitive tournaments in recent years. Four teams have legitimate title aspirations, headed by the number one seed and defending champion Repeaters squad , The Repeaters are led by league Most Valuable Player Cas Kosciolek along with the strong inside play of Mike Glovas. Jake Williams also contributes strongly to the Repeater attack. The Repeaters finished the year with a 9-1 record, good enough for first place in their division. They look to be the favorite to claim their second consecutive championship. Phoney Face and the Lehigh Valley Hoopsters, the second and third seeds respectivel y, have definite thoughts of dethroning the Repeaters and claiming the title for themselves. Phoney Face concluded their season with only one loss and have the balance to beat any team in the tournament .

Dave Schaffer and Frank Feola head the well-balanced squad . Moosehead , the Bush Hogs, Sky Highs, and the Free Agents round out the playoff group. All won their respective divisions but will have trouble pulling off an upset in the playoffs. Coordinator Scott Mummey has picked the Repeaters as his choice to win the title.

With every starter but one coming back fro m a team that won the Pennsy lvania State Athletic Conference champ ionshi p with a perfect 12-0 record , anyone in their right mind would be hard pressed to find an argument why the Huski y softball team should not have at least an outstanding year. "We have a shot at the conference title and nationals. Every body 's a year older and a year wiser," says Hutchinson , showing a flair for understatement. Hutchinson feels her teams ' strongest point is its hitting . Leading the Husky batting attack will be senior Ail-American Karen Hertzlcr. "She is a .good bunter and also very consistent ,1 ' says Hutchinson of Hertzler, who has also been recognized for her field hockey prowess. Hertzler batted .344 for BU last season , with a team-high 32 runs scored and 12 runs batted in. Also contributing to the hitting attack from a power standpoint will be senior Jean Millen. Millen sat out last year due to an injury, but will be back this year. Suzanne Luna , a sophomore , will also be looked to for power , as she was tied for the team lead in home runs with three, along with twelve other extra base hits and a team-high 23 RBI. In addition , Luna led the team with a .352 batting average. Sue Kocher and Kathy Berry will also be looked to for the long ball . Berry also clouted three homers for BU last season and batted a solid .304. Kocher was second on the team in the RBI category with 19. Kocher will also be the ace of a pitching staff that had a combined earned run average of 0.42 last season. While leading the team in ERA with a phenomenal 0.23, Kocher also had a 16-2 record and 130 strikeouts in 121 innings pitched . Sophomore Jill Solinski also contributed heavily to the Husky mound effort with an 8-1 record and a 0.33 ERA. Solinski had 58 strikeouts in 64 innings pitched. Heading into her final season as a Husky, Chris Moyer wil be the third person counted on for the BU pitching fortunes. Moyer compiled a 11-3 mark last season, and had an impressive 0.72 ERA. In addition , Moyer fanned 59 batters in 64 innings pitched . "We should have a solid pitching staff ," says Hutchinson. "We were ranked second in the nation in Division II in ERA." Returning to assume the catching duties is sophomore Cindy Freeland. Freeland started last season and had a .982 fielding percentage. Freeland will be spelled at times by junior Lori Guitson , who was limited to the role of designated hitte r last season due to injury. Softball Coach Jan Hutchinson Voice photo by Bill Coniglio Also set to help out is freshman Robin Fioretti. "We have seven people vy ing for four infield positions," says Hutchinson. "Hertzler is the only one in solid to start." Hertzler had an impressive .915 fielding percentage last season and was second on the squad in assists with 60. Millen will be playing either first base or shortstop. "She played first base for us, but in high school she played shortstop," notes Hutchinson. "She may alternate games in doubleheaders." If Millen plays first base, junior Donna Graupp will play shortstop. Graupp hit .239 last year, but had a .929 fielding percentage and a team-high 63 assists. Kathy Berry will play first base if Millen is at shortstop, but also often alternates, playing both third and first bases on different occasions. Junior Lori Pisco will also see a lot of playing time at first base if she does not start at that position. Berry, a senior, batted .304 last season to go along with a .961 fielding percentage, while Pisco was equally impressive in the field with- a .958 fielding percentage. Sophomore Kim Fey is also available at shortstop for the Huskies and can also play third base when called upon. If Graupp is not at shortstop, then she will hold down the third base slot. "Sherry Cooley is also challenging for infield spots," notes Hutchinson of the freshman. In the outfield , the Huskies will be looking to three returning players to guide them . Luna will play right field for BU, and she sports a .958 fiedling percentage from last season. Playing in left field for BU is MiBIersvilBe loses pair of playe rs for playoffs With only a few days remaining before the commencement of the NCAA Division II Eastern Regional Tournament, Millersville basketball coach John Kochan announced Tuesday that a starter and the team 's sixth man have left the team. Kochan offered no explanation for the player 's departure, saying only that he did not give any reasons all year when making disciplinary actions and will not start now. The departing players.were Lou Winston and Edwin Moore, and Kochan would not say if the players quit or were dismissed. Additionally, he declined comment on whether they would be returning next year. Moore was averaging 7.4 points per game and Winston was averaging 6.4 points along with a team leading 165 assists. Both players said throug h the Millersville University sports information office that they would not comment . Kochan released his statement through the university and only stated that the players will not play for the rest of this season. Millersville, 23-5, squares off against host Gannon, 24-5, in opening round regional play Friday. Kate Denneny. Denneny, a junior, boasts a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage from last season and will be the mainstay of the Husky outfield. Along some impressive fielding stats, Denneny also hit .304 last season and tied for second on the team in doubles with four. Joanie Lewis saw a lot of playing time for BU last season , and will probably hold down the center field spot for the Huskies. Lewis also had an errorless season in her playing time. Also helping in the outfield will be transfer Donna Shief . Shief transferred from Williamsport Area Community College and is a junior. "We have twelve games in the South over spring break ," says Hutchinson. "It will give us a good chance to play a lot of Division I schools." BU will travel to South Carolina and begin competition March 23 and leave March 27. The Huskies will make a stop in Virginia to play the University of Virg inia on the 28th before returning to Bloomsburg. League play begins for the team April 5 at East Stroudsburg and will have their home opener the eighth against IUP. The Huskies were 35-6 overall last season . Assisting Hutchinson in the coaching duties is pitching coach Tina Souders, and Lori Guigler is the team manager. Darrow picked for all-stars by Ellen VanHorn Staff Writer Voice photo by Chad Garber Steve Augustine in previous season tennis action. Augustine* along with Scott Gibbs,was named co-captain of this year's BU tennis team. The squad will head south to open its season. The Bloomburg University bowling team participated in the EPMIBC conference tournament this past weekend. The women 's team won fi rst place for high Baker game with a 230. A baker game consists of each of five bowlers bowling a frame until a game is completed . Junior Jeff Darrow was chosen to partcipate in the EPMIBC allstar tournament. The top five average bowlers of the conference were chosen for this honor. Darrow also won the conference high series with a 779. For seniors P.J. Roberts and Rob Eroh this was their last conference tournament.
