CGA budget cuts stem from campus groups requesting beyond income increase; by Karen Reiss Staff Writer Zero percent increase in CGA income for the 1986-87 school year forced the Finance Committee to cut the budgets of many organizations. The projected amount of income for the next two semesters is $595,210. At the budget hearings last month , $633,733 were asked for. CGA Treasurer Joe Cannavo ex- plained the bulk of the money comes from students. "Since we haven 't had a community activities fee increase in a while ," Cannavo said , "the incoming revenue is the same , but everyone is asking for increases in their budgets." Aside from the fee, CGA earns money throug h basketball and football games, wrestling matches, vending machines, the BU players , faculty and staff fees , CGA vehicles , and throug h inte rest. "We have several respon- SSHE distributes budget proposed at $529 million by Mike Feeley Manag ing Edito r ~" The State System of Hi gher Education (SSHE) has proposed a $529 million budget for the fiscal year 1986-87 for the 14 Pennsylvania state owned unive rsities. SSHE Chancellor Dr. James H. McCormick said the increase is to hel p combat the rising cost of tuition. Currentl y Pennsy lvania has the fifth highest tuition rate for public four-year institutions with an average yearly rate of $1,781. This falls above the U.S. average of $1 ,217. The top four states include Vermont ($2 ,543), New Hampshire ($2 ,031), Ohio ($1,855), and Virg inia ($1,792). "We believe the commonwealth should support state owned ' ^XHMWIMBIHHnNDHIM «im™«^^MM i "'¦¦' schools to keep tuition low and keep enrollment up," said Wayne G. Failor, SSHE vice-chancellor for finance and administration. Failor went on to say for every $100 the tuition goes up, enrollment in Pennsy lvania declines 1.8 percent. According to Failor, Pennsylvania already has one of the lowest hi g her education enrollments in the country. SSHE has broken its budget proposal down into eight main categories with the majority going to education and "general opera tion support ." More than $290 million , an increase of $26.2 million or 9.9 percent over the 1985-86 budget , will be used to hel p stabilize the current resident tuition rates. According to the SSHE "Ap(continued on page 2) ¦¦" ——— ^^^~m sibilities which must be kept , such as pay ing CGA emp loyed workers," Cannavo said. "After we meet these responsibilities then we can divide the money into bud gets for the organizations on campus. " He explained just because many bud gets were cut , that doesn 't mean the group won 't get the money. "Many groups didn 't give us the information we need to decide the validity of the request ," Cannavo said. "That is why we will have the budget appeals. Here, the groups can present us with their reasons for wanting the amount asked for. " Cannavo also said many budgets were cut because the amounts were small enough to be taken through the Finance Committee for approval. "This way, all the group has to do is send a request through the committee in the .semester they 'll need the money," he said. "This makes things easier for everyone.' ' Older Worker Week recognizes Green Thumb pr ogramby honoring employees by Karen Reiss Staff Writer During Older Worker Week, which began yesterday, agencies involved in the Green Thumb Program will be honoring their workers to promote their values in the workforce of the community. "Green Thumb" doesn 't have anything to do with gardening, but the progra m reaps a rich harvest. Through it , people over 55 can obtain new skills or redevelop old ones to be productive members of society. The program workers assist in many areas here at Bloomsburg University. At the present time, 23 Green Thumb workers prov ide service to the child care center, ground maintenance , various offices . Nelson Field House, and Kehr Union . According to Peg Bailey, administrative assistant in charge ol Russian broadcasts f oreseen by Mary Chupkai for the Voice Bloomsburg University is considering purchasing compute r equipment which would enable the campus to receive telecasts from Russia, South America, Canada, and possibly Western Europe.

Countries such as Russia have their television systems based on a technology totally different from the U.S. The equipment makes it possible to receive and decipher the transmissions with the help of a satellite dish. Dr. John Sanders, of the Harriman Institute for International Studies at Columbia University, said the Russians have a positive attitude towards American students interest in Russian broadcasting. Their one concern is pirators trying to sell their programming. James Tomlinson, chairman of Communication Studies said , "Right now we are just exploring the options. There is support from the administration , but we have to be sure their is enough interest by the faculty to insure such an investment would be worthwhile." At present, Crieghton University, Iowa State University and Columbia University are taking advantage of the transmissions. Penn State University is also looking into it* The equipment , if purchased, could have different uses throughout the campus. Some uses could be Language Studies , Cultural Training, Political Science, Communication Studies and Honors Programs. the program here on campus , "Green Thumb workers help to supplement the work done in these areas. They don 't replace workers , but they take up some of the slack and hel p things run smoothly." The progra m has benefits for both the emp loyees and the workers. It is an excellent way to supp lement an income and make use of spare time. The employees enjoy benefits of maturity and experience. "Older Worker Week is an excellent time to recognize ambitions and dedication of older people," Bailey said. Bailey stresses these people are making "excellent contributions to the university and community.'' This week offers a chance for everyone to praise the work done by the Green Thumb partici pants.

Tenure enforces job security for BU teachers by Melissa Menapace Staff Writer Job security is almost guaranteed for 85 percent of Bloomsburg University faculty because of tenure. Tenureprotects faculty from arbitrary dismissal. A tenured professor can teach and research without fear of being fired for unpopular views or personal whims. Such faculty are rarely fi red , said Dr. Larry Jones, vice-president of Academic Affairs. Conviction of a crime or just cause must be proven to fire a tenured faculty member. Just cause is- defi ned as constantl y engag ing in reprehensiv le behavior , such as sexual harassment of a student. The majority of professors are hired in tenur e tract positions. They are evaluated by their students and peers every semester for four years. Effective teaching, scholarly growth and service to the community are evaluated in the fifth year. Effective teaching is evaluated in several ways. Classroom, visits , quality of student advisement and punctuality in completing work are considered . BU faculty are expected to grow in scholarl y knowledge. The university-wide tenifre committee evaluates publication of research and partici pation in scholarl y organizations. Service to the university and the community is the third considera tion. Professors have a responsibility to develop curriculum and participate in university and community events related to their disci p line. The evaluation durinsi the fift h year consists of several parts. A recommendation fro m the department chairperson and from a committee of faculty in the app licants disci pline are submitted to the tenure committee. The committee, headed by Dr. Wayne Anderson of Whitewater rafting Former prof on the Lehigh River exhibits work Whitewater rafting in the upper gorge of the Lehigh River is scheduled for March 15-16 and April 5, 6 and 7 by Quest.

The standard s were onl y sli ghtl y affected by an agreement si gned in the fall by the Association of Pennsy lvania State Colleges and University Faculties and the State System of Hi gher Education.

Students will also have the opportunity to take guided visits throug h museums , cathedrals and other historic sites. William Decker will offer a music course dealing with the operetta. The cost of the program is $1,850. Roundtrip airfare from New York, a charter bus from Munich to Salzburg, room and breakfast in a Salzburg family 's home, noon meals, tuition fees for a three-credit course, sight-seeing tours of Salzburg, U.S. departure taxes and additional weekend tri ps are included in the price. Textbooks and personal spending money are extra .

SSHE budget proposal BU student (continued from page 1) propriation Request ." the proposed $290 million is essentially a "status quo " request. The request level is based on personnel sularie ^v with recognition of negotiated labor and an inflation factor for fixed and operating assest costs built on Congressional Bud get Office economic projections. While SSHE is requesting more than $290 million for educational purposes , the Governor 's Fiscal Year 1986-87 Budget recommends an appropriation of $271.7 million to the state schools. This represents an increase of onl y three percent over the current year 's appropriation. Another $100 million has been requested for capital projects. The request includes $16.6 million for the first phase of an asbestos abatement and removal program . Also included is $3.9 million for heat and smoke detectors in university dormitories. As a whole, the capital projects request is to maintain the physical plant of the fourteen universities. Included are renovations and new additions to some of the more than 650 buildings in the state system. "SSHE does not own the land or the buildings ," said Failor, "but we do have the responsibility to maintain them ," he added. SSHE has proposed $5 million for critical capital repairs to be used to support health and safety, utility systems, roof repairs, and building projects which do not qualify for long-term capital appropriation funding. Another $4 million has been proposed for state-of-the-art instructional equipment. The 1985-86 coalition instructional equipment app ropriation provided the state system with- ap- proximatel y $3.9 million as the first major part of a critical $21 million rep lacement program . The 1986-87 request is a second installment to support primaril y the science and technol ogy curricula. $2.5 million has been requested for advanced technology curriculum initiative . Althoug h the system realize s state universities are not major research institutions , transferring research findings and develop ing app lications for solution to various economic and environmental problems are their role and specialty. Another $4.1 million has been requested for public service institutes. The money is to be used by the universities for their communities. Services will include environmental education programming, rura l and special educational services to school districts and intermediate units , a wide array of aids to small business development and improvement , and assistance to local governments. To help develop computing systems to access data bases and catalogs on campus and across the country, $1.1 million has been requested for library automation. Another $350,000 has been requested for recruitment of minority students and staff. SSHE explained Pennsylvania ranks last among the fi fty states in ten year percentage increases in sta te appropriations for all higher education programs. They feel a bigger budget is needed to stop already high tuition rates and to better academic quality. Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing. ¦' ¦ ' - . ' '.

Mow iw(M sauivf IPJ M lt i - ¦ Faculty Profile Craig Davis: 'Experiment with a chemist 9 by Elizabeth Dacey News Ed itor Eveiy thing seems a "scream " to Crai g Davis these days. That is his word for "great " and "unbelievable. " Being hired six days after comp leting graduate school is certainl y great and unbelievable. Davis, 26, applied for a job at Bloomsburg- University in May 1985. He comp leted his M.S. in biological chemistry at Ohio State University on August 30 and f ound himself teaching at BU only a few days later. A late resignation in the chemistry department was the reason for the last minu te appointment. Davis tries to project a positive view of chemistry throug h his teaching sty le. "1 try to lecture in conversational style," he says, "and avoid slipping into what my students have dubbed my 'teacher voice '." Davis attempts to insp ire his interest in chemistry in several of his students. "Many people see chemistry laboratory as scary, difficult and even boring. I can ' t see it that way at all " he says. "M y Thursday evening lab students very hel p ful those first few weeks," he recalls. "They teased me a lot about how I was in a constant daze, but they understood why." Dr. Barrett W. Benson , who worked with Davis very closely during the fall semester, says Davis has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic. "His reaction to being hired so quickl y was very controlled ," Benson says. "He has adjusted well. " Other colleagues in the chemistry department , Dr. Roberta Pierce and Wendy Elcessor, agree that he adds to the funfeeling of the department. Elcessor adds, "Crai g is very sensitive to his students .needs. I have observed him in class and his students definitel y enjoy him. " Davis attributes this "funfeeling " of the department to the fact that the chemistry faculty think they are all amateur comedians. "We try to outdo each other with one-liners ," he says. Outside work , Davis finds pleasure in jogg ing and riding his bicycle. He believes exercise keeps him more aware. Music tends to be his main interest thoug h, (continued on page §) claim that lab is almost a party. Davis still believes safety is the number one priority in lab. "I have to constantl y remind certain students to keep their safety goggles over their eyes," he says. Elizabeth Frederick , one of Davis ' students from the fall semester, recalls , "He was very easy to talk to and explained things well. " She believes his age hel ped eliminate any feeling of intimidation and made the students more comfortable. "Because he was fresh out of grad school , we enjoyed class and could look forward to lab," she says. Davis doesn 't worry about having too much fun in class because he says he would never allow his relationshi ps with the students to interfere with his grading. He finds giving grades the most difficult thing about being a faculty member, "Students don 't realize that all faculty members tre t over borderline students ," he says. "It 's not easy giving a D to a C/D student. " After his first semester teaching, Davis believes he is well adjusted and says he had some hel p.

The teen-ager injured in the incident at Lambda Chi Al pha a few weeks ago was not hurt seriousl y, and the Bloomsburg University administration has slapped the fraternity 's wrist , so everything is just about back to normal . Normal is the attitude that enables the university 's management to crack down ever so lightly on Lambda Chi while the kegs roll out and the party roars on at other frats and all across campus. The brothers at Lambda Chi did not do anything out of the ordinary, but they did let a 19-yearold bang himself up in the process, and so they have been told to go dry for a spell. Since many of the members are not old enough to drink legally, it 's an odd order: You have embarrassed the school , and your punishment is to obey the law. We're not so forgetful of our youth that we think college students can be stopped f rom get- ting a drink if they want one. Neither are we so naive that we don 't realize the BU administration and town police know where the hotspots are, but let them keep bubbling as long as the lids don 't blow off completel y. There are plenty of rationalizations. Some portray students as kids on a lark—youth will be served , so to speak. Others make alcohol a "life-experience "-a wonderfully redundant term-as in the cliche that learnig to handle alcohol is part of maturation. It 's all bunk. There are students who can drink responsibl y, and they are the ones who handle the other aspects of their lives the same way. For other students , however, tacit permission to get drunk at 18 or 19 is a death warrant or the beginning of a lifelong problem. Setting the drinking age at 21 was one of the Legislature 's wiser actions. Many college freshman are at a dangerous age, full of themselves, still laboring under a delusion of invincibility. A few years of education and experience of getting kicked around by life a 50 YEARS AGO bit , may make a responsible decision about alcohol . Students will drink , but university officials and police have a responsibility to put the party on ice to whatever extent they can . The next time the they are busy looking the other way, something more important than the school 's image may be hurt .

Reflecting pool ' An extra cost to students and taxpayers Dear Editor, I' m writin g this letter in hopes of capturing the viewpoints of fellow students on the proposal of the reflecting pool . At first glance it sounded nice, but afte r thinkin g about it , I started to ask myself BHHBnV ^—ML I questions. How much will it cost and •where is the money coming from? What will keep the water and surrounding area clean? What will the costs and needs be five to ten years from now ? Will this project even- tfflMMBH-HHH1HBH-¦HHHBHHHBB9B-BHK-¦BMHBBB Public school education Teacher's salaries increase while SAT scores and other test results decrease by Tom Miller tuall y affect tuition? My personal opinion is that it is an extra cost to the students and taxpayers of the local area. What will happen when something does goes wrong? The cement starts to crack , or what about a filtration system? What will that cost to run or replace? What is going to keep the smell from the stagnant water any way? The cost printed in The Voice,(March 3) was $28,000. I think that money can be used more productive ly. Do you know the libra ry is in bad need of money and space? Or what about improving Old Science Hall parking lot to look better and hold more cars. Maybe add the money to some athletic activity that needs it. ' What do other students think about this proposal? A concerned student Cameron W. Whitmire Editorial Columnist The Pennsy lvania House of Representatives recently voted , with only a handful of dissenting votes, to mandate a minimum wage of $18,500 a year for entry-level public school teachers. It is difficult to see the necessity of pay ing that kind of salary to an untried , untested teacher who only works for 181 days a year and has a lavish fringe benefits package besides. Many people with the same level of education work for years to attain that kind of income. One local attorney, just out of law school , is working for ^ salary of $14,700 a year. One education major, whose intellect I greatly admire , explained to me that the minimum wage mandate was necessary because local school board s would never otherwise have the political courage to pay what is required to get quality teachers. It seemed like a very good point until I did some research. -. It seems that one of two things must be true. Either a) wage increases do not in themselves provide good teachers or, b) good teachers are no guarantee of good education. This is based on the f act that although public school teachers' wages have increased dramatically over the past 20 years, SAT scores and almost every other measure of educational acheivement in public schools have declined. At the same time in private schools, where teachers are often paid much less , scores have remained steady or improved and invariabl y outshine public schools. And I' m not onl y talking about Andover and Mercyhurst , but also about inner city parochial schools where the students are just as black or just as poor as the students in the public schools. These private schools pay less money and educate students better on a smaller budget than the public schools. It seems obvious that quality of education is not a function of the salary of the teacher. It would be a much better policy to take more advantage of the private schools ' demonstrated talent for educating children. This could be done by allowing all schools to hire the teachers they need at the salary they determine is adequate to get the product they desire. Moreover, the government should enact the often proposed voucher system whereby parents would be able to choose public or private schools. Each student would receive a voucher, payable by the government , to enroll at whatever school his parents choose. Vouchers'used for private schools would be for a limited amount. Since private schools not only educate better but do it less expensivley, this is an ideal solution. The opposition comes, predictably, from the teachers unions. Scared to death that deadwood is bound to be eliminated under this system, they are fighting vouchers tooth and nail. Albert Shanker, president of one of the unions , claims that the poor state of public education is due to low pay and the consequent attraction of less able teachers; an incredible statement about the membership of his own union. A minimum wage for teachers is a step in the wrong direction. Prospective teachers should realize, moreover, that this will do for education majors what the minimum wage did for teenagers-keep them from being hired at all. The minimum wage bill , which was kind of sneaked through the state House, is predicted to run into trouble in the state Senate. In any event it is a prime candidate for a vefy apprdpifiate .gubernatorial' veto. To 9th North When the world crumbles beneath your feet, A doubting person would best be beat .

I am currentl y involved in the biggest battle of my life with an enemy I seldom see—the Bloomsburg University Parking Enforcement officers. Student resents comments Dear Editor, Howard Ackerman's letter to the Editor (Marc h 3) was cruel due to his narrow-mineded comments about New Jersey. He obviously has not been to Chester, Mendham , Oldwick , Long Beach Island , or even Pine Beach , to name a few of the many beautiful sections of New Jersey. Maybe he could not find a reason to travel to New Jersey because he has failed to see past the damaging comments made by people such as himself. Mr. Ackerman 's idea of requiring a visa to leave New Jersey has got to be the most spiteful , bitter, disobliging comment. I also resent his comments about New Brunswick. A lot of time and money is being spent in hopes to improve an unshakeable reputa tion. A few Bloomsburg University students transfer to Rutgers Universit-y, which happens to have a campus located in New Brunswick. I am sure they would see no need for a visa. It is unfortunate that Mr. Ackerman points out an error in Tom Miller 's attitude , but then also becomes a victim of such ignorance. Let me recommend to Mr. Ackerman that he learn a bit more about New Jersey. Also, next time, he should realize that there are many students at Bloomsburg University from New Jersey who happen to resent comments made with no basis, such as the ones he had the nerve to make. Dear Editor, After a 29-day hospital stay, Berke Breathed has returned to his Alburquerque home and is anxious to continue the saga of Bloom County.

Slysh for the Voice A 23-year-old marketing and management major at Bloomsburg University doesn 't seem out of the ordinary until that someone is Scott Morris. A U.S. citize n born in Brooklyn , N.Y. , Morris has lived on and off in Tokyo, Japan since he was 12 because his father works for IBM as a manager for large systems, and programmer and was transferred there. "I wasn 't too excited about it at the time. However, as I lived there, it grew on me," Morris says. Morris lives with his family, including one brother and two sisters, in a Japanese style home in a residential section of Tokyo. Morris loves all of the nightlife and culture the city has to offer. "You're never bored , there's always something to do! " Morns went to an international junior high school . "There were 35 students in the entire school; 1 was the onl y guy in the seventh grade," states Morris. He changed schools in the eighth grade and went to an international boys school that had 1,000 students. His classmates at this school included ambassador 's children and other children that came from 68 different countries. To earn extra spending money in high school Morris became an English tutor. He taught conversational Eng lish privatel y to a couple of students in his home. Morris explains. "'I would flip th rough magazines, point to pictures, and __ ask them to tell me what the people were doing," and he adds, "I also asked them to bring in old Japanese stories and tell them to me in English; I would correct their grammar." During the summers Morris came home to the United States , but he and his family took the more adventurous route. "Instead of fly ing over Hawaii , my family and I would go the other direction!" he says. Morris has been to many countries including China , Egypt , Greece, India , and Iran. The country that had the greatest impact on him was India. The poverty was terrible, "It was so sad ; people would follow you for a mile for a quarter," and adds, "People were dying of starvation rig ht in the streets. You would see a mother and her baby and know the baby was ging to die." After graduation , Morns went to a community college in New York. "I didn 't like it much ," he says, so he returned to Japan where he got his own apartment. He worked with a modeling agency, "They find work for you , mostly for commercials, posters, and magazines," he says. Morris did some modeling through the agency for Schick , and Sony. "The Japanese like American people for advertising. The country is try ing to become westernized , they really like foreigners," he states. He also worked as a New york disc jockey on "The Shower Gang," an earl y morning show similar to MTV. He says, "I didn 't know * Husky Ambassadors * ^ Would yo u like to be a p restig ious Husky Ambassador? Come and see us — how to DJ, but then I learned j ust by watching some of my friends who were disc jockeys." Through this experience he met Bill Hersey, public relations director and manager for "The Lexington Queen ," a very presti g ious ni ght club that attracts people like Sade , Liza Minneli , and Harrison Ford , among other fomous celebrities and groups. Hersey then asked Morris to be a disc jockey at a party for the five women who starred in "Octopussy,"but Morris didn 't take the job because "I didn 't think I was good enough." Morris was then asked to become a host there. "I was supposed to make people feel welcome, serve them drinks and dance with them; just make them feel comfortable. It was really a lot of fun ," Morris says. According to Morris the nightlife in Japan is much different than that in the States. "Japanese people like to have fun. You pay one price and then you can eat and drink all you want until the bar closes, usually around 5 a.m.," he says. Transportation isn 't hard to find since the trains begin running at 5 a.m. until 2 a.m.. The ni ghtlife is different in other ways also. "There are many stri p shows and places to have sex called Move hotels '. These hotels have vibrating beds, mirro red ceilings , and just about anything else you can imagine: And it 's not even expensive!" says Morris. Morris explained that the drinking age in Japan is 20, but you can find "Beer Machines " that sell drinks such as g in fizzes. "Alcoholism in Japan is rare and the unemployment rate is only one or two percent ," Morris concludes. Morris ' parents weren 't too happy about his situation in Japa n and decided that he should finish college. Morris decided to finish in America for two reasons, first , Japan has only two international universities.

Bloomsburg and decided to come Summer Archaeology Field School seeks participants by Alana Nevis Staff Writer Archaeological sites, as nonrenewable resources, are becoming an "endangered species. " The majority of prehistoric sites in the United States have already been destroyed due to the expansion of cities and construction of hi ghways. If we are going to preserve any archaeolog ical sites for the future, we must begin to manage the remaining sites more wisely. This is a goal proposed by Dr. Elise M. Brenner, Project Director for the summer field program in archaeology. The seven-week archaeological field school will run fro m May 19 through July 3 and will provide partici pating students with an intensive research and training exerience. Students will receive instruction in archaeological survey and excavation , sampling strateg ies, mapping, recording, analysis, and interpretation. Field training is integrated with classroom instruction on such topics as the culture histo ry of Pennsy lvania , material culture , and archaeolog ical hypothesis-testing. The field school- project will produce the first systematic survey of the archaeological resources of Columbia County, documenting the distribution and variety of prehistoric sites within the study reg ion. What can students gain from the field school? First , they can gain valuable research experience. It is rare for a student to have the opportunity to carry through a research project from start to finish. Through the field school , students will have the opportunity to be involved in every phase of the research. Dr. Brenner describes such research as "a meaningful exerience, one which students will care about because they become a part of it. A rcaeology is an ongoing process of making decisions in the field; each individual' s input is needed ." In addition to .archaeological training, the field school offers, an enjoyable summer experience. Most jobs in our society today are indoor, office jobs; people sit behind a desk. The field school gives students the opportunity to be outdoors eight hours a day. Brenner feels that working outdoors can be a refreshing change from the indoor classroom setting. Field school students will also acquire reasoning and problemsolving skills , which will be useful in all future endeavors. Archaeology involves ongoing problem-solving. Archaeologists must infer past human behavior from material remains found in the ground. There are no living people to observe and interview. Therefore, an archaeolog ist 's job involves building theories and models that relate material remains in the ground to actual past human behavior. This kind of modelbuilding requires log ic and reasoning . Interested students should- con tact Dr. Elise M . Brenner, An thropology, 219 Bakeless Center or phone her at 389-4334.

Ever since then I've worked toward my goal ." Fetterman 's parents didn 't believe that he would be so serious about being a vet . "They thought I would change my mind. " Fetterman was recently selected by the Biology department as the Most Outstanding Biology student . The Outstanding Biology student is selected on academic achievement , extra-curricular activity, and the student 's contribution to the universtiy or community, according to the department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences. Biology professors Fredrick Hill and Louis Mingrone both felt that Fetterman was well qualified for the Outstanding Student award . Mingrone says, "Bob works hard to get ahead by doing the extraordinary instead of just sliding by. He is the kind of kid-that does his work and helps the others too. He always wants to see more." He is .a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon , a math honor society; and Phi Kappa Phi , an interdisci plinary national honor society. Fetterman is currently doing an intershi p at the Bloomsburg Veterinary Hospital as well as working there every morning as a janitor. He observes routin e surgery on small animals including declaws, castrations, hernias, and many operations involving the animal 's reproductive system. Every Saturday he goes on rounds with the veterinarian to observe large animals on farms within five counties. "The most exciting and fascinating surgery I' ve seen was a cesearean section on a cow; the calf was too large and had to be cut out. The entire operation took almost two hours." Fetterman s hobbies are basketball , reading, and bike riding, "it helps me ease the pressure." He also enjoys movies--'! love the movies. I always root for the underdog because he never lacks self confidence. Confidence is important to have. You can 't be afraid to do anything." In high school Fetterman was on the track team and a member of the National Honor Society. Fetterman's-current experience will have a chance to be proven. Student at Large The Miracle of TV.
