The ceremony took place at 2:30 p.m. in Mitrani Hall , Haas Auditorium. Following the invocation from the Rev. Chester Snyder and the singing of the National Anthem , the crowd was welcomed by such notables as John Walker, vice-president for Institutional Advancement; Sean Mullen , CGA president; Mayor Daniel Bauman; and former B.U. President James McCormick , chancellor of the State System of Higher Education. After an address fro m Allen Ostar, president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities , Ausprich was presented and the formal ceremony began. The investiture of Ausprich as president was performed by McCormick. The installation ceremony followed and was performed by Dr. James Larson , a member of the Board of Governors, State System of Higher Education. Ausorich was then 8 ^ff l JBB8S&W presented with the president 's medallion and mace and made his acceptance speech , which dealt with the history of B.U'., the university 's accomplishments, and his agenda for the future . After the singing of the Alma Mater, the ceremony closed with a benediction by the Rev. Greg Osterberg , and a reception for the President and Mrs . Ausprich followed in the lobby of Haas. Ausprich , who officially became president ofthe university on Jul y 5, 1985, came to Bloomsburg from Kent State Univers ity in Ohio. While there, he was dean of K.S.U.'s College of Fine and Professional Arts, consisting of 10 col- leges ranging fro m arts, music, and speech to technology and fashion design. Also, Ausprich was a former dean of the faculty of arts at the State University of New York, dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Northern Iowa, and the chairman of the speech and drama department at Memphis State University. He has won several national award s in the field of education , authored over 20 papers and publications , and has appeared on many radio and television shows, including "Good Mornin g America." Students to decide on p ossible Union expansion by Lynn Ernst Staff Writer Over the years there have been complaints concerning the difficulty of scheduling programs, the meal plan , the location of the health center, and the lack of study space available in the Union. These and other important issues were scheduled for discussion in ^ ^¦^¦^ ¦¦ ¦^^ the forum in the McCormick Building , but the attendance was zero with the exception of the reporter assigned to the story. The forum was scheduled so students could learn about and discuss the possible expansion and renovation of the Union.

Kehr Union was originally built in 1973 when student enrollment was 4,000. Presently there are 6,400 students and the number of student organizations continues to increase. As a result , Kehr Union is too small to accomodate student needs. With the proposed expansion , Kehr Union will go beyond the present parking lot. The addition would take away from faculty parking, but it would not affect student parking. A new multipurpose room with an 18 foot high ceiling would be erected. The prospective multipurpose room would have a nicer atmospere so banquets and movies could be held there. The room would be air conditioned , handicap accessible , and make scheduling banquets and conferences easier. When the room is not being used for banquets and conferences, it will be available for student use. Trathen said , the basic thing is "to keep the building as occupied as possible." In addition to the multipurpose room , two new conference rooms would be constructed right next to it. Also the Blue Room, on the third floor, would become a food preparation area for banquets and a small dressing room for performers has been suggested. On the first floor, the expansion and renovation of the snack bar is under consideration.

Mingrone , chairman of the biology department. "The air inside the greenhouse is below the required temperature of 50 degrees needed to start the growth process of most plants ," said Mingrone. He added the problem stems from an inadequate heating system , not capable of handling the problems of winte r cold. According to Mingrone , Hartline houses growth chambers in the basement. "When a greenhouse is built and functions correctl y, it will be much more effective and less expensive to run and maintain than a growth chamber," he said. Mingrone said heating problems are also caused by the use of single pane glass instead of double pane. "It had no windows; it was all gla§s with two doors. Set up like this, the plants burn in the summer and die in the winte r from the heating and ventilation systems," said Mingrone. Recently, the biology department and the buildings , grounds and maintenance departments have taken care of the ventilation system. Screens have been added and the roof opens up. A large electricall yoperated , plastic tube circulates the air when switched on. Benches have been installed . The heating system , however, is going to take longer to fix. A consultant is being called in to fi qure out what kind of heating system is needed to heat the greenhouse. According to Mingrone , the heating system is "beyond repair. " It consists of two heating units that run on natura l gas. "One is dow n completely and the other is barely working, " said Mingrone. "Funding is needed to replace the system ," said Mingrone. "A request for funds will be made in the spring and sent throug h the 'normal channels ' for next year " he added. According to Mingrone , the department has the support of the administration (o get the system working. Don McCulloch , director of the physical plant , has been very supportive also, Mingrone said. "Crews have been sent over for three to four days at a time to try and make it work ." said Mingrone. "It is no one 's fault ," he added.

Students who do not have time to eat in the Commons could go to the Union and get a meal equivalent to the cost of the meal they are entitled to under their meal plan. Also the food preparation area would be enlarged so more things can be accomplished faster. Other suggestions include new chairs and tables. Ideas for the ground floor renovations include the games room becoming a multicultural room. Here, the mingling of cultures could take place and the room could only be reserved for mutlicultural programs. This would mean no more kicking students out of the President 's Lounge because of meetings and Support group offe red to victims of eating disorders Eating disorders are fairly common among college populations, especially college women. Bulemia is characterized by bingeeating and purging. Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by deliberate self starvation. To aid our BU women with these eating disorders, a support group will meet regularly on Tuesday afternoons from 3:15-4:45 p.m. in the Center for Counseling and Human Development . The dates are April 8, 15, 22, 29, and May 6. Pre-registrationis not necessary. Attendance at all sessions is preferred. For more information, call the Counseling Center, 4255. Jk programs. The games room , as the layout plan shows, would be near the bowling alley. If the referendum is passed , the health center will be moved from McCormick to the ground floor of the Union. Also, a student organization center would be created . The health center would be twice as large as the one in McCormick and the student organization center could be used by certain groups based on their size and importance. The overall cost for the proposed expansion would be approximately $2,500,000. The maximum cost per student would be $20 a semester, said Trathen. He added "With what is being offered, the students gets a lot for his money. It 's a good investment." Students are encouraged to vote on the referendum on Thursday, April 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Union. Space requested for speaking events The 16th Annual National Championship in Individual Speaking Events, which BU will host from April 24-28, requires extra space for competitions.

A $22 million bill which would extend and expand the 1986-87 budget Instructional Equipment Grant Program for colleges and universities throughout the state was introduced this month . The appropriation , an increase of $16.5 million in 1985-86, would be distributed to public and private colleges and universities to help offset budget limitations which prevent the purchase of new instructional equipment, said State Rep. Ron Cowell, D-WilkmsTwp. Cowell, chairman of the House sub-committee on Higher Education , said representatives from public and private institutions clearly expressed the need to eliminate antiquated instructional equipment from Commonwealth schools.

Well, the Texas legislature thinks it is. In the March 24 Time, it was reported that more than 200,000 teachers and school administrators handed out a language skills test to their students and the results will determine whether or not they will be able to continue teaching in Texas. Althoug h the test is reported to be not difficult , teachers were outraged at this vehicle of ability measurement. One teacher said the test was the wrong way to measure a teacher 's ability and the onl y way to determine whether a teacher is competent is to watch them in the classroom. Harold Massey, executive director of the Texas Association of Secondary School Princi pals, said that thc main result of this teacher test would be to "totall y and comp letely demoralize the profession in Texas." Thc Texas Stale Teacher 's Association , which represents 55,000 teachers in the state, has brought suit to stop the test. They claim that teacher certification is a life-time contract and this test is in violation of that contract. A district jud ge has allowed the test to proceed , but the teachers , backed by the National Education Association (NEA) are appealing to the Texas Supreme Court . The outraged reaction of the teachers is a valid reaction. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to judge a teacher 's competence solely on the results of students tests. Studies have show n that even the most intelligent children sometimes test below their ability and sometimes very poorly. , Teacher testing, in its proper form, is a must. Just because teachers are certified when they graduate from college at the age of 21 or 22 doesn 't mean they will continue to keep up on the latest developments in teaching and their own subjects until they retire. Testing should occur at variou s points in a teacher 's career. The intervals should be set by the teachers 's unions , not the government , and should apply to everyone in that union. Cold turkey tests are not what I am suggesting. Refresher courses should be required for teachers and then they should be tested. I realize that everyone cannot keep up on everything all the time , so the refresher tests are a good way to ensure that teachers have the avenues to keep up on advancements. That 's not unfair , is it? Refresher courses and testing are onl y part of the full teacher evaluation process. Another bi g part is teacher observations. Schools should set up specific people and times to observe their own teachers. This will enable the school administrators to sec if thc teacher is teaching the proper information , whether the teacher can handle the numbe r of students in his or her class, whether the teacher can handle problem children-disci pline and academic and it will also determine whether Give the teams some credit Dear Edito r, During the fall the Bloomsburg University football team received a lot of attention , deservingly so. Most of the administrators and Dr. Ausprich attended most of the home games and a lot of the away ones. But now it is the spring season and some of the less popular sports deserve some of that attention , While most of us were either at home or at a vacation resort, the The Voice sports teams were on the road competing. The tennis, baseball , softball , track and lacrosse teams deserve the same amount of recognition as the football and basketball teams. They work just as hard . When I make this comment , I am not talking to the administration alone. Let 's see the students of Bloomsburg University out there supporting all their sports teams. Try to make it a point to attend atleast one of every sport on campus.

Teacher refresher courses , testing and observations are musts if we want to ensure that our childre n are receiving the best possible education they can get. But this process must be done properl y and not underhandedl y. Trying to determine whether a teacher is competent enough solely on how students score on tests is absurd . More than one medium has to be used to achieve a proper measure of a teacher ' s competence.

Admittedly, some criticism is valid while some is not. We, as education majors at Bloomsburg University, would like to see pride restored in teaching . We have the conviction that education is the critical part of a productive life. However, in four years we face the reality that our education is misunderstood and put down. We do not "cut and paste." We do not have to be mentall y retarded to teach the mentall y retarded . Our education consists of understanding and facilitating the complicated process of man's learning. People are individuals; there are many needs and wants . Our job is to assess the needs and put material into the most di gestable manner. What you see in games, puppet play and bulletin boards takes hours of thought and planning. And it also takes a commitment. A commitment saying, that in li ght of there being bad teachers and a relatively low salary scale, we will do our best. At Bloomsburg University, we simpl y ask for an attempt at understanding and a chance at equal footing with other majors. Perhaps if you see an education major "playing " with a child and you think , "They go to school for that? " you will think again. Barb Mutchler and Lisa A.

Tinpot dictatorsattempt to impose rule; U.S. sees battle in two hemispheres by Tom Miller Editorial Columnist The past weeks have seen American forces in combat or near combat in each hemisphere. In both the Mediterranean Sea and in Central America , tinpot dictato rs attempted to impose their rule on areas which did not belong to them. Just days after the U.S. House or Representatives once again "tried to send a peaceful message" to the Nicaraguan Communist government , that country invaded Honduras to try to root out Contra forces bases there. You remember the Contras? They are the organized resistance to the Sandinistas that were so weak they weren 't worth hel ping. But the communist Sandinistas bit off more than they could chew in Honduras. The weak , ineffective Contras managed to surround about one-third of the communist force and pin it down long enough for it to be exposed as an invading force. In an ABC television interview, Daniel Ortega , so-called president of Nicaragua , was deny ing that his forces had invaded Honduras even after film of the combat and interviews with captured Nicaraguans in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa had been broadcast on national television. Communists have respect for neither the truth nor the intelli gence of the American people. When the Nicaraguan communists invaded , President Robert Cordova of Honduras invoked the Act of Chapultapec and the Rio Treaty to call for assistance from other American states. The United States responded immediately, providing U.S. Army helicopter transport to ferry Honduran troops into position to resist the invading Nicaraguans. This latest action by Nicaraguan accomplishes th ree things. It exposes Nicaraguan intentions to wi pe out the Contras, with whom they refuse to negotiate. It exposes 222 U.S. Congressmen at the height of their naivete in voting against Contra aid. Finally, it insures that a sizable number of those Congressmen will change their minds, thus ensuring the approval of Contra aid when it comes up for a vote again on April 15. Well done, Ortega! On the other side of the Atlantic, as all the world now knows, Libya 's Colonial Khadafy fired upon an American fleet consisting of three aircraft carrier battle groups—any one of which could reduce Libya to a smoking ruin. The United States responded with judicious restraint , not even shooting back until afte r the third attack and until Libyan naval units approached their missile ranges. Certainl y no one can say we over-reacted . For once, the whole country is behind the president. Even Ti p O'Neill backed Reagan. The details have been widely reported and need no repetition. U.S. Fleet on the hi gh seas...So-called "line of death"...Peaceful transit through international waters;..Khadaf y attacks...Fleet defends itself. ..Complete cruise...Leaves area. Pretty cut and dry. Now Khadafy has issued a call for his army to 'retaliate ' against the United States. If Khadafy remains true to form, what he means here is not military action but most probab ly some kind of cowardly expedition to blow the legs off some American school children. The question is this: What do we do when that happens? Will we have the same wring ing of hands and temporizing about how we can 't prove who did it? Or will we do something? Since the U.S.S. Saratoga has not relieved the America after all and all three carriers are remaining in the Mediterranean , the answer would seem to be the latter. The course to steer is this: If Americans become the victims of terroristic attack anywhere in the world , absent of any evidence to the contra ry, the United States should presume that Khadafy has done nothing more than make good on his threat. In such a case we should hold Libya as a state, and Khadafy personall y responsible for its actions. Since the Libyans demostrated their support so vigorously for their leader, they should likewise be held accountable. The best seller deserves to be. It is Garrison Keillor 's "Lake Wobegon Days." And young adults even have a kind of cult book. It is Jay Mclnerney 's novel, "Bri ght Lights, Big City." It has something like the cachet "Catcher in the Rye" had in the golden age of college youth (meaning I was in college). Indeed , a critic says, "Bright Lights " is "the 'Catcher in the Rye7of the MBA set. " From the royalties , Mclnerney bought a BMW, naturall y. He has perfect pitch for the inner music of upscale young professionals networking on the fast track. His novel is the Michelob beer commercial re-invented as literature. It chronicles one picaresque week in the life ofa 1980s Holden Caulfield who is failing life as a fact-checker at a magazine as full of itself as the New Yorker. The novel's prefactory quotation is from "The Sun Also Rises": "How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked . "Two ways," Mike said . "Gradually and then suddenly." The novel appeals to people mightily concerned about monthly consumption and other sources of derivative identity. It suggests the state of mind (well, state of something) that has been called Transcendental acquisition , spelled R-O-L-E-X. Something bad is "to New Jersey for words."

Mclnerney 's protagonist hasn 't a clue who he is. In Mclnerney 's second novel , "Ransome," the protagonist of that name is a Beverly Hills boy disgusted with dad who is-yuck.'-in television. Ransome goes to earth in Japan and converts (it is a demi-semi-religion for him) to karate, the practice of which "conveyed an extraordinary sense of self-possession ." Here we go again , more "selfs" being shopped for and possessed . In a sense, Mclnerney is traditional to the point of being hidebound . Nothing is more traditional that the theme of alienated youth , especially youth alienated from vulgar dad . Mclnerney makes that theme into a medley with the tested theme of flight abroad into strange lands and self-discovery. Mclnerney at his worst is nine yards better then another hot new author, Bret Easton Ellis, whose "Less Than Zero" is the worst novel since the invention of movable type. It is about yet another alienated Beverly Hills boy who likes cocaine about as much as he dislikes dad , who is in television. Alienated? The book begins: "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles." Get it? Melnerney 's keen ear for trendy-babble does make him very funny in life as well as in fiction. When he went to Hollywood to sell "Bright Lights," he says, "They told me they were putting me up at Chateau Marmont and I said , Ts that good?' And they said , Ts it good? John Belushi died there!'" We have not heard the last , or the best, from a man with an ear for stuff like that .

SECOND STREET (CODE 50) H A R R I S B U R G , PA 17101-1304 Navy Officers Get Responsibility Fast. Two relationshi ps receive tne main focus in Wilde 's play. John Worthing and Algernon Moncrief , played by Steve Sunderlin and Tony Dietterick respectively , deceive the women that they love by telling them both that their names are Earnest. The reason tor this is that both girls will onl y marry someone named Earnest , thus it is important to be "Earnest. " The women are both suitabl y named. Gwendol yn Fairfa x , played by Jennifer Carey, and Cecil y Cardew, played by Dana Roughton , both have very hi gh ideals about who they will marry. When they find out that neither of the men are named Earnest , the fun beg ins. Further compounding things between the couples is demanding and socially upstanding Lady Bracknell , Gwendolyn 's aunt , portrayed by Gail Lynch. The show, though not without its flaws, still came off as a respectable effort from a group of people that obviously tried very hard , and came up short in some areas, but did very well in others. Tony Dietterick grabbed attention immediately with his appearance of the spoiled rich person who never had an honest day 's work in his life. His movements were all in character, but his voice slipped in and out of an British accent. He provided many of the most memorable and most humorous moments in the show by realizing just who the character is, and had a true feeling lor the period and the social strata where hc was involved. Steve Sunderlin tried very hard , but just missed in his effforts to capture his characters postilion . His voice was appropriate for thc part and he moved about thc stage well , but he gave the impression that he was never really comfortable with the character. The main problem 1 had with Sunderlin 's portrayal was that he did not give enoug h of himself to his emotions. His disp lay of emotions was unconvincing and at times unmotivated , shown by his sometimes monotone voice. Once Sunderlin learns to establish his presence on stage, he will no doubt be a fine actor. Jennife r Cary has trul y established herself as one of the elite , not only as her character in the show, but as an actress on the stage. She has learned the gift of when to play it up and when not to. Too often performers go overboard when they play a stereotype, but she did not , and therefore made the character not a stereotype, but unique. However, Dana Roughton was not overshadowed by the perfromance of Cary. She had to play a blend of clear-head and naive, and made the mold to an excellence. She worked so well with Cary to make the two a comfortable duo onstage. Gail Lynch , as Lady Bracknell , did what was expected of her. However, when saying that about this part icular actress , it takes on a little different meaning. What is now expected of Lynch on the Bloomsburg stage is sheer excellence and she delivers all the way. George Caesar and Gilbert Darbouze p layed the butlers , and both did commendable jobs , except Caesar gave a little too much pro file onstage. Former BU professor Craig Himes played Rev. Canon Chasuble , and exchange student Anne Babkine played Miss Prism , Cecily 's tutor. They both were fine additions to the play except for one thing-Miss Prism 's makeup was horrible. When sharp makeup lines are drawn on somebody 's face to make them look older, from the audience it looks like, well , somebody drew lines on somebody 's face to make them look older. These sharp lines are not effective at all (in fact, they are quite annoying) and should be not ever be used. The set is primitely simple, but the stage at Carver Hall limits greatly what one can do set-wise, so designer Bill O'Donnell did his best with what he had . The lighting design , by Colette Barni , was tasteful and interesting. Overall , we have seen better from the Players, but this show did have its memorable moments and gives the BU community reason to look forward to future works by this unfailingly dedicated group of people. The Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble has opened April with The Birthday Party, a haunting modern comedy/drama by Harold Pinter. Originally produced in London in 1957, it is considered a contemporary classic and has had a substantial influence on modern drama. The Birthday Partyis a mystery thriller to which the audience must provide its own answers. Like an episode of The Twilight Zone, it places seeming ly ordinary characters in an everyday setting and hints at the bizarre. In a rundown English seaside town, at a boarding house with only one boarder, proprietors Meg and Petey talk about breakfast, the weather, and their lone boarder Stanley. When two wordly strangers come to visit , the plot takes an ominous turn . Oddly comical , yet unsettling, The Birthday Partycenters on the peculiarity of everday life. Unlike anything that BTE has done before, if poses many questions and provides no explanations. Says Laurie McCants of the company 's artistic directorate,''It 's funny and scary and beautifully written and it 's a comedy and it 's a drama , and it 's...well...unique!" "I consider Harold Pinter the foremost British playwright", says director Bruce Colville. "It 's exciting for me to direct Tlie Birthday Party, to try to reinterpret it in the context of 1986." Colville comes to BTE from New York City and is a member of The New York Arts Group. He has directed such plays as Small Craft Warnings, The Wager, and If Men Play Cards as Women do. The cast of six includes Ensemble members Laurie McCants, Martin Shell , Leigh Strimbec k , Whit MacLaughlin , and Gerard Stropnicky, as well as guest actor David Moreland . The The Birthday Party is recommended for mature audiences. It runs through April 19 and performance times are Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with matinees on Sundays at 3 p.m. and on the last Saturday of the run at 2 p.m. For tickets call BTE box office at (717) 784-8181. BTE stages a haunting modern drama with ' The Birthday Party'' "Frustration is not having anyone to blame but yourself." -Bits & Pieces Superstitions Many still believe by Kathy Hess For the Voice Miss Janice Youse, a professor at Bloomsburg University, is ori ginall y from Boyerton , Pa., in the heart of the Dutch country. She believes in many of the Pennsylvania Dutch superstitions which were handed down to her from her mother. Miss Youse believes that superstitions got started by an event actuall y happening and bad or good luck following it. Many of the superstitions deal with bad luck or death. Some of the ways that you can cause bad luck are : opening an umbrella in the house and standing under it , breaking a mirror, or leaving a house throug h a different door than the one you entered through. Miss Youse said that her uncle believed the one about the door so strongly that one time when he locked himself out of the house he climbed a ladder, got in through an upstairs window, unlocked the front door and went back out and came in through that same door. "All the neighbors thought he was . crazy," she said. ' Tt s bad luck to sew on Sundays, " said Miss Youse, "for what you sew on Sunday, you will take apart on Monday." If someone is laying on the floor and you step over them it will stunt their growth , but if you retrace your steps, the person will be okay. One superstition dealing with death is that bringing parsley with the roots still attached into a house will cause death within a year."My mother swares that this has happened on several occassions to people that she knew,"said Youse. Two superstitions deal with birds and death . One is if a bird flies into a window, someone in the household will die. And if a white pigeon sits in the window and coos someone also will die. Miss Youse said that her little cousin was very sick with cystic fibrosis and a white pigeon sat in her window. The next day her cousin died . The superstition that Miss Youse believes in the most is that if a picture falls someone in the household will die. She said one evening she was up in her bedroom with her German Shepard when she heard a loud crash coming from downstairs. She said that the dog became so nervous that she had to drag him down the steps to see what had happened . When she got there she saw that a large painting had fallen and two days later her dog died. Not all superstitions deal with negative things. Some are just fun. For instance, placing a loaf of bread on its head will cause the angels to cry in heaven. A pair of new shoes can never.be set on a table or else they will squeak. "Some of the funniest superstitions deal with common household items ," she said , "for instance, if you drop a knife, a man is coming to your house , if you drop a fork , a woman is coming, and if you drop a spoon , a bi g mouth is coming. Dropp ing a dish towel means a slob is coming." Killing certain things can also cause bad luck. If you ' re a hunter, never shoot an albino deer or you will die within a year. In addition , killing certain insects such as crickets , daddy-long-legs and lady bugs can bring bad luck. New Year's Day has its share of superstitions too. According to Youse, Pork and sauerkraut should be eaten on New Year's Day because "If you eat pork on New Year's day and stink up the house, you 'll be fat and wealthy all year. But if you eat chicken you 'll scratch for a living all year." The first person to come into a house on New Year's Day should be a man because he will bring good luck for the rest of the year. Even parts of the body are connected to superstitions. Ringing in the left ear means bad news will be heard , but ringing in the right ear means good news will be heard. If your feet itch you will go on a trip. If the palm of you hand itches you will receive money, and if your nose itches you will either kiss or slap someone. Generally superstitions are accepted as groundless and irratinal but they still exist. They were originally based on sound reason- Stu dent at Large Tetisher ' hits Bloom Salesgirl laced to shoe tree during overnight robbery Because of a string of robberies on the south side of Main Street , on the night of April 1, the Bloomsburg SWAT Team (ShoesWomen's and Teens) was called in yesterday to investi gate the sudden step-up in shoe store heists. The burg laries occurred at the High Top, Gumby, and Pokey shoe stores. Nick Bronson , manager of Pokey Shoes, said , "Oh , they took so much! They got those darling little red slip-ons and some of my favorites, the open-toed shoes for summer.'' "They even got my Jasmans," he added . "You know, the sassy ones with the stripes and the multicolored laces." Although he was unable to list the models of the footwear taken , Bronson did say that 35 pairs were stolen and the brand names were right on the tip of his tongue. You guessed it, shoe humor. ing from what was believed to be fact. Today, new superstitions arise continuall y as the old beliefs take on new forms. A modern superstition is the belief that the safest seat on an airp lane is in the back if the plane were to crash. Marcos. Unfortunately, none ofthe shoes missing matched the sty les of the 3300 pairs found in the Marcos ' home. "Obviousl y," said Inspector L. Eather Uppers, the SWAT team leader, "Mrs . Marcos would never have stolen shoes that did not match her tastes." The warrant was dropped and Mrs . Marcos is no longer believed to be involved with this case. Sizing up the suspect , (you guessed it , more shoe humor!) Uppers said citizens should be on the lookout for the wife of a foot fetisher with size eights and big closets. "We have no real leads at this time and have to resole our investigation ," added Uppers. Don Chomiak One of the three stores was hit before closing, High Top Shoes. The clerk , Margo Keds, was found tied to a shoe tree the next morning. She was bound with (yes, you know what 's coming) shoe laces. After cross-referencing with the other stores involved, police determined that only women's shoes were taken and they were all size eight.

Men's and women's track to rely on sprinters by Mike Feeley Managing Editor In his second year back as head coach of the Bloomsburg University men's and women 's track teams, afte r a nine-year hiatus , Ron Puhl feels the teams are improving steadily and can begin to compete with the tough Pennsylvania Conference competition slated for the 1986 season. "Th e teams have been working hard and there has been steady improvement ," commented Puhl. ' 'Most of the athletes are giving a full , honest effort ." "The women have started off well in the indoor season ," said Puhl. "They are showing they can be competitive." Leading the way for the women 's squad will be three runners who hel ped set the school's one-mile indoor relay record last season. Junior Noele Collura , sophomore Lynn Ritz , and junior Marianne Fidishin have returned to lead Puhl 's sprinting corps. Joining them in the 4 4 100 relay will be sophomore Renee Scarpa . "Fidishin and Ritz are two fine runners ; they both run with a lot of power," said Puhl . "Collura can Kehr Union iiMnHmMwmmwwgwii-wii******!*^^ run her heart out . The four should make a fine relay team ." Fidishin captured a first-place in the 200-meter dash at the Susquehanna Invitational held March 29. The relay team already has one title to its credit as it captured firstplace at the same meet. Five of Puhl 's cross country runners will lead the Huskies ' middle distance group. Cheryl Hallman , Brenda Bisset, Karen Reiss, Ellen Deam and Betty Ann Zarr are all showing strong potential with the cross country background. According to Puhl , the middle distance group will be greatly affected by the loss of Pennsylvania Conference champion and national qualifier Linda Hershey, but there is a fine group who have the potential to fill the void. Hershey, running her first year of collegiate track , set a new stadium and conference record in the 800-meter event at East Stroudsburg. She shattered her own conference record of 2:12.6, running a time of 2.12.5. Two years ago, Cindy Graby qualified for the national championships in the triple jump but has not seen action since that event. "We are hoping she will return this year and lead our group, said 'Puhl. In her sophomore year, Graby finished third at the PC meet with a jump of 36-10.25. In the wei ght events, two freshman add strong depth to the field of throwers. Carol Hetrick and Beth Lodanosky will be joined in the weights by freshman Jill Cicierski and Tammy Berger. "Currently, Jill Cicierski is leading in the shots," said Puhl. "She had a good indoor season which should continue into outdoor competition ," he added . Puhl is also looking to get a lot out of hurdlers Carolyn Brady, Deana Brown and Donna Minogue. Brown also captured a title at Susquehanna in the 100-meter hurdles. Helping the Bloomsburg effort will be 27 freshmen including basketball standout Theresa Lorenzi. Lorenzi will be involved in Puhl's jumping program , competing in the long, triple and high jump events. Another freshman , Amy Cole, is a newcomer to the Bloomsburg track program , missing the indoor season while competing with the swimming and diving team. ' 'Amy will help us greatly now that she is finished with her winter QfOOfOfin 1 presents: Tonight: BINGO pOCfrO v I I Bloomsburg Univer sity I ? I ? ? season ,' said Puhl. Cole was a national qualifier in the one meter diving event. "She could work her way into one of the top sprinting spots," said Puhl. Others fighting for the sprints will be Vicki Strong and 'Tina Peterson. Junior Tammy Sukanich , a transfer student from Kutztown , will be in the heptathlon event. Sukanich placed in that event two years ago at the conference event. "For the men 's team , we have the same old problem-depths," said Puhl. "We've been getting more people, but" we still have a long way to go," he added . As in the past , the Bloomsburg men 's track program can count on a strong sprinting unit. Senior Tony Woods and junior Richard Thomas return to lead the Huskies. Woods, a first team AllAmerican selection in football , is the defending Pennsylvania Conference champion in the 100-meter dash. Woods won the event in 11.04 seconds. Thomas finished fourth in 11.23 seconds. Woods also placed third in the 200-meter dash. "Woods is capable of repeating in the championships this year," said Puhl. "But , there are a lot of other talented sprinters."

"Maillard has been running rig ht behind Woods in the indoor season ," said Puhl. "He has a lot of potential ." Others in that field include derrick Hill and Tom Futch. Mark Liddington is the early leader of a strong group of hurdlers. Liddington led the team through the indoor season, including a first-place finish at the East Stroudsburg Invatitional. Joining him will be John Rockmore and Derrick Hill. The trouble spot for the Huskies will be in the middle distances. ''We always have a lot of sprinters; we never lack there," said Puhl. "It is the middle distance that is going to hurt us this season." The distances will be led by cross country runners Craig Koch and Chris Ludy. Dan Netting will also add strong depth in the upper distance events. Mark Landis, who was another title winner at Susquehanna in the shot put , will lead the field group. ''With the start we had indoors,'' said Puhl , "I am positively looking forward to the outdoor season." % $ I Sun., April 13-8:30 p.m.--KUB 'Quest'--one of the area 's most popular bands, f A>^As Ak^k^A, ,As ^A M.

Using some strong pitching fro m the hot arm of senior hurler Bill Roehl. the Huskies were able to take contro l early in the first game , and used some solid hitting by Bill Adams the rest of the way to cruise to a 10-5 victory. Millersville scored quickl y with a run in the top of the first, but Bloomsburg answered with thre e runs in the bottom half of that inning lo take a lead they would never relinquish. Third baseman Bill Salamy led the inning off with a double to leftfield. Junior second baseman Scott Michael followed with a single to put runners at the corners, and Adams stepped up to the plate and banged a three run homer for the first of his four hits. The Marauders struck again in the top of the third , but once again BU answered with one run in the bottom half of the stanza to go up 4-2. Designated hitter Mark Bonshak belted a two-out single to score Adams, who had previousl y doubled. John Nicodem hit a solo home run to leftfield in the fourth to make it Huskies 5, Millersville 2. Millersville came charging back in the top of the fifth as they reeled off five consecutive base hits and scored three runs to tie the game at five. BU was undaunted though , and scored three runs of its own in the fifth to put the game away. Key in the Husky rall y were errors by Millersville , and a home run to left field by Bonshak. The Huskies finished the scoring in the botton half of the sixth as Adams led off with a sing le to leftfield. Then, with two outs. Nicodem singled to set up a tworun sing le by Neil Boyd to account for the final tall y of 10-5. Roehl went the distance for the Huskies and upped his season record to 4-0. All of his games are complete games, and he has allowed onl y three walks in 28 innings pitched , including one in Saturday 's game. Millersville used a five-run fourth inning explosion to propel them past the Huskies in the second game of the double header 8-4.
