Law Enforcement explains ticket policies; examines changeover in ticket processes by Tom Sink lor the Voice Bloomsburg University 's Law Enforcement department is currently examining a changeover in the ticket processing policies of illegall y parked cars. Ken Weaver , Chief of Law Enforcement, says his department is considering procedures by which delinquent fines will place a hold on the violator 's records , transcri pts , reg istration and related documents. Weaver says under the present system , tickets that are issued by c o m m i s s i o n e d officers and security guard s and not paid within 10 days arc, recorded as citations within 30 days of the violation and sent to District Justice Donna Coombc for appeal. Under Rule 55 of the Rules of C r i m i n a l Procedures , onl y authorized (commissioned) officers can file a citation. These officers can also file citations based on information received from security guards. Tickets issued by Assistant Vice President of Administration Paul Conard that are not paid within 10 days arc held by the Law Enforcement Office until paid. According to Weaver , unpaid tickets written by Conard have no effect on the offenders records and files as of yet. Weaver points out that this does not mean that the tickets issued by Conard are invalid. Weaver adds that many peop le do not know the difference between a ticket and a citation. According to the dockets avail able to the public in Coombe 's office , in November of 1 985 Conard issued five citations for delinquent tickets. Because Conard was not an officer , Coombe did not recognize the citations as valid under the law and Conard withdrew them. Weaver comments that if the hold procedures go into effect , tickets issued by officers and security guard s may not be recorded as citations and also remain on the campus and act as holds if not paid. Weaver adds that this move would cut back on time and money spent at Coombe 's office processing citations. GM threatens to leave S.

" He has contended that the university paper deals with parochial issues and has twice used the word "henhouse " to describe the editorial staff. He has described AIDS victims as "hairdressers of the rich and famous " and Corazon Aquino as a Phili pp ian Ethel Kennedy. He has misrepresented , misquoted and misinterpreted the good intentions of too many for too long. Is he from our galaxy? We are not sure . Do some people wish he would go away ? Yep ! He (aka Tom Miller) has been chatiscd , not onl y by liberals , but also by the Conservatives for a Better World , and by students and 1 acuity . From the beginning he has been violentl y opposed because of the way he addresses many controversial issues. He said the National Organization of Women opposed a four-month unpaid leave to new parents because it would encourage women to stay home with their children. Twice he has attacked The Voice as incompetent Last year he said the oni y well written part was the sports section. Coincidentally (or not) the only section edited by a male. He added that a policy of running articles about the activities of a student advocacy organization was propaganda. He further imp lied that the best way to get a letter to the editor published was to be a CGA member patting yourself on the back. He attacked Corazon Aquino 's government , questioning the legitimacy of her government, the election and her intentions. All these uncertainties were answered when the new Philippian constitution was finished recently. He has taken an ultraconservative stand on a multitude of subjects. All this started with an article on AIDS. The basic thesis of this editorial was that AIDS was a solution , not a problem , and that government attention should be redirected. Father Chet Snyder , Bloomsburg Catholic Campus Ministry, in his editorial reply said , "Let those without sin cast the first stone. " Student wants to stop 'free-thinker ' bashing Dear Editor , I would like to thank you for printing Mr. Tom Miller 's article in last Thursday 's Voice. His openminded anal ysis of our wonderfu l Greek system enli ghtened me beyond my own imag ining ! To illustrate my cognitive awakening, please let me elaborate on some of his points. First , I was in error regarding the besjtvway to find out i f ' 'Greek is for me. '' I thought that the best way was to talk to brothers or sisters of a Greek organization , go to rush meetings , be yourself and do some informal research on the organizations and their structure . These methods, being fruitless , I have tossed out in favor of spending six weeks of my valuable semester learning everything about the organization , little about my classwork , learning how to put up a front , and pretending I like people whom I'd laugh at under normal circumstances. Secondly, I am no longer confused as to how undoubtly fantastic an open Greek party is. How could I have ever considered having some friends come to my apartment for some beer and casual conversation as being fun? From now on , I' m going to spend three dollars to stand in a basement , sweat like a pig, fight for a drink , have others question my lineage, have my clothes ruined from spilled beer and listen to trend y college music for a few hours before being told to "get out. " What could be better? Lastly, I committed a grievous miscalculation when I thought that I criticized Greeks on the basis of their actions. I now realize that I am jealous , envious and have "curmudgeonly resentment " at the thought of others having fun. I confess that I envy those who sit on ice blocks with their trousers down , have animal excretion smeared on them and are urinated upon by those who call themselves "brothers ." I'm very thankful that someone with a moral fiber as untainted as Mr. Miller can finally come forward and put a stop to this hideous practice of Greek bashing . I'm just wondering who will stop Mr. Miller 's "freethinker bashing?" Hopefully I will and I am not afraid to use my name. David K. Garton Student annoyed at complaints Dear Editor , After having read yet another article in which Tom Miller complains about the mismanagement of The Voice , I was very annoyed. In the first place, comparing this semester 's printing of The Voice to last semester's paper , there has been a noticeable improvement in both the format and the content of the campus newspaper. This brings up another point , we are to remember that The Voice is a campus newspaper, and while it is distributed to some community members, it is not to be compared with The New York Times. The major purpose of the paper is to help journalism majors gain experience and further their knowledge of how a good paper (which I believe it is) is produced. Lastly, in his most recent article, Mr. Miller complains of the number of women on the editorial staff. I feel this is a chauvinistic remark , or is Mr. Miller jealous that , yes, women are doing a good job on the staff? If Mr. Miller feels so compelled to complain about The Voice, I suggest he stop reading it and buy a copy of The New York Times. But then again, would that even satisfy him?

But another BU student agreed with his suggestion that our attention should be directed to a true national concern. His suggestion was that monies be used to educate the ignorant and enlighten the bigoted, saying both of these programs would benefit Mr. Miller , he still needs this enlightenment and education. Dan Fedder Count is off Dear Editor , After reading last Monday 's piece by Mr. Tom Miller , I was mad at first and then felt left out. Maybe Mr. Miller has a problem with reading, there are five male editors listed in the staff box. Two of us are photo editors who have an extensive photo file and a number of staff members. I carefull y reviewed Mr. Miller 's article again and wondered if he had different facts. He probably read Don Chomiak' s article the same way—halfway . Well Mr. Miller , I'll help you count the 13 member staff members, eight female and five male. I quess you wouldn 't find that in a henhouse. A. Schillemans Student clarifies p oint Dear Editor , Being the "single theater student " mentioned in that Miller guy 's Monday morning attack on The Voice, I would like to clarify a few points. First of all , the people in charge of the theater department did not make the decision as to the particular type of lighting equipment that would be installed in Mitrani Hall. In fact , the other two manufacturers that the theater department wanted considered were not even invited to bid . The decision as to the manufacturer had been made prior to the meetings that involved the theater department. Furthermore, being a wellrespected technician on this campus and elsewhere, my disagreement with the use of Electro Controls equipment is based on my experience with and knowledge of a great deal of lighting equipment, including Electro Controls. It is also based on the experience and knowledge of many other professionals in the lighting business. Miller seems to think he knows it all. My first recommendation to him is to learn how to get his facts straight. Then he might consider making a public apology to the staff of The Voice for his narrow-minded and chauvinistic statement about a ''henhouse atmosphere ." Just who the hell does he think he is? T.

Glimpse of the future proves shocking by John Garcia Guest Columnist We have met the enemy—and he is us! Slightly different from the original , isn 't it? Yet one can 't help but wonder if this quote doesn 't adorn the dais of the great administrative forces at Harrisburg . Yes, I have had a glimpse of the futu re , and it is shocking. Envision this campus as a barren hill , devoid of people, devoid of man 's "monumental" creations. Natu ral disaster? Nuclear holocaust? No , not these! The cause of this vision is the everhaunting beast whose symbol is $$$ and whose name shall be known as "the low bid. " Overly dramatic? Probably," but the problem is not as minor as some would have you believe. Evidence of the "penny wisepound foolish" nature of this beast can be evidenced in an average day 's walk across the campus. Our not-so-mythical "low bid tour " of the campus shall begin with a careful examination of the post-and-chain fences that line most of Bloomsburg University 's sidewalks. This examination reveals rusting chains, rusting links and rotting wooden posts. "But untreated wood is cheaper " is the cry that echoes off the walls of Sutliff Hall , as we espy a post that has rotted so completely as to now lie broken on the ground . Penny wise-pound foolish. That post must now be replaced so that the decor of the campus is not diminished by a broken post. Of course, how easily we forget that eventually all the un* treated posts , rusted links and broken chains will have to be replaced . This becomes a wonderful "double-dipped" windfall for the grounds crew who have already been paid for initial installtion , and now must be paid again for maintenance that should have been unnecessary. It 's not their fault, though, they can only work with the materials that they are given. Our next stop is Haas Auditorium , where we witness a dozen (or so) theater students complaining about their new li g htin g system. A dozen?!.' I'd better clean my glasses. Mr. Miller said there was only one disgruntled student! A few brief steps up the hill and behold—the McCormick Center-the culmination of our tour! McCormick Center represents the pinnacle of the low bid beast. We 'll start out tour on the ground floor , carefully avoiding the puddles of water on the floor from the leaking ceiling, with Television and Radio Services. Nice! Very impressive! Let me open this door for you...OOPS...the handle came off in my hand. I guess I won 't be needing my key anymore (it never worked in the first place). Television Service 's lighting system looks very familiar. (At this point , members of the tour are overwhelmed with a sense of deja-vu, as we witness a dozen or so disgruntled students...) We'll be touring the roof next to look at the satellite installation , and to see the 600 watt FM station 's tower ("I thought that the FM station was supposed to be 1000 watts," said one of our tour members who lives 30 miles north of Bloomsburg and can 't get the station...) At this point , our group takes a brief respite to sit down and to use McCormick's facilities. I hope no one needs more than one sheet of bath tissue...(someone has decreed that the dispensers shall not allow more than one or two sheets at a time—Harrisburg must be saving BIG BUCKS on paper this year!) As we reach the roof , a marvellous view unfolds before our eyes. The satellite dish is an impressive looking piece of electronics , to say the least. Lest we forget , however, that this same satellite dish came off its anchors on a windy day and punctures the roof. An investigation by BU' s crews showed inadequate installation. But that 's not possible! The work was performed by the company receiving the low bid! At least, in this rare occasion, the ensuing fiasco didn 't cost BU any more money . However , it did cost TV Services over th ree months of down-time with their satellite. Where does all this point , to the system or to the princi ple of the low bid? It points accusingly at the system! In princip le , the low bid is instituted by the state for a very good reason—it forces the universities to be comparison shoppers . It intends to ensure that the taxpayers are not spending $300 for a hammer. But it is in the purchasing system that the low bid concept fails so miserably. The purchasing system is conducted in an illog ical manner. The system forces the constant comparison of "apples and oranges, " with the final purchasing decision being made by someone in Harrisburg who is not an expert in the area in which the purchase is taking place! The decision on what to purchase often leaves the hands of the true experts, and is placed into the hands of a person only concerned with the final cost. The irony is that in most cases , the shortsightedness will end up costing more—thus defeating the initial purpose of the low bid system! However, to abandon the low bid system would open up the state for many problems. What is needed is not the abandonment of the policy, but a major revision in the purchasing system. The policy revision should place the decision making process in the hands of the experts—the people hired by the university for their knowledge. Mr. Miller, and the eternal red-tape of Harrisburg , would have you believe that the system is a flawless piece of art . Yet our knowled geable people are often not involved in the final decision process! Why not let them emp loy their knowled ge to make the final purchasing decisions for their own particular area? Does it make sense for a biologist to select a $20,000 satellite dish? Does it make sense for a sociologist to select an electron microscope? Of course not! Yet that is precisely what happens. Maybe not that exact scenario , but the analogy holdspenny wise, pound foolish. Anti-drug campaign similar to Prohibition Dear Editor , The United States government is presently engaged in one of the strongest organized movements to eliminate drug availability to consumers in U.S. history. But many of those who are directly involved in the legislation and enforcement of anti-drug laws are saying that the programs have little chance of providing the "desired " results. Any movement which actually affects the product supply to a noticable degree may be quickly and strongly opposed by 13-15 million of our nation 's consumers . Alcohol , a drug, was officially banned during the Prohibition Era. "Speak-casita " or illegal bars, sprang up across our country as a result of Prohibition. The movement was a failure and was abandoned after a few years. The repeat of those laws show us that people can and will oppose paternalistic and oppressive laws. We now look at supporters of Prohibition and view them, quite correctly , as self-righteous and foolish in their attempts to force others to adopt their lifestyles. Today 's anti-drug movement closely parallels the series of events which led up to Prohibition . In 1972, then-Representative Ed Koch (D-NY) and Senator Jacob Javits (R-NY) introduced a - marijuana decriminalization proposal . In 1977, following the passage of a mariju; ,ia reform Dill , New York Governor Hugh Carev said that decriminalization of marijuana would free law enforcement and court resources to "put the real criminals behind bars. " With the passage of that bill , New York became the ninth state to officially stop the arrests of marijuana consumers . Marijuana is not a hallucinogen or mind-bending drug, as many others are. Its effect is similar to that of alcohol. I submit that rather than spend valuable time and our hardearned tax money on a futile program , our government should legalize marijuana rather than act as political witch-hunters caught up in the hypocrisy of legal alcohol and illegal marijuana.

Student at Large Meteorology takes to sky by Deb Goodhart Staff Writer Don Chomiak Occasionall y, a change is required to keep us all on our toes , and in my case, literall y. For this reason, among others , this is not a traditional Student at Large. When covering the events that make up the news, a reporter looks from the outside at whatever is happening and tries to interpret it and determine what is most important. In order to get a much clearer look at a certain aspect of BU , I decided to do it from the inside. In the second week of the semester . I went to Coach Adrian of the football team with an idea. The idea was to do a story on the football team by putting on the pads and getting on the practice field for a few days to a couple of weeks. At the coach' s suggestion, I simp ly went out for the team. On Monday , of the last week of September , I started the routine - practice , wei ghts , and other required reg iments. Still going to practice and dressing for the J.V. games, I am now in my fourt h week of football. There is a very real difference between what is believed to be the routine of this squad and what the players actuall y go throug h. I myself held the view that the only things required were going to practice and suiting up on Saturdays. Outside of getting used to the physical punishment involved in the game , one ot the most difficult adjustments for me was the requirement of reporting to the Commons between 7:30 and 8:30 every morning at breakfast. I could not see the need to get up that early for anything, including a class. The alternative , if breakfast is missed , however , is much worse than eating earl y. A 6:30 a.m. run awaits anyone who misses breakfast repeatedl y. Another requirement is regular sessions of wei ght lifting. There is a bi-weekly requirement for players , including the receiving corps , the standpoint from which I decided to take a look at the team. There is a strong unity that binds this group together. It stems from the constant commitment , the routine , the sore muscles and sweat, but most of all , from the push for one thing, to be the best. The practices , thoug h not brutal , do require a great deal of hustle and concentration. The emphasis on giving your all is constantl y reinforced during the course of a workout. There is an animal in practice called the "scout team. " This beast is made up of the unsung heroes who , during the course of a week , pretend to be the offense and defense of the upcoming Saturday 's opponent. This team regularl y scrimmages against the starting and second string offenses and defenses in practice. The scout team is made up of most of the younger players who are not quite ready or who have yet to make the varsity squad . I have been an addition to the offensive scout team since my "arrival" a few weeks ago . The majority of the players on the scout team are called 'pups ' by the coaches , in contrast to 'dogs , ' which refers to the veteran players on the squad . To say the least , it has been interesting. Note- though this project is technicall y finished , I am enjoying football and will probably continue to play for the remainder of the season. I would like to publicl y thank Coach Adrian and his staff , Art Hopkins, the athletictrainer , and a special thanks to Ron Morgan , the equipment man who provided the tools to protec * me from destruction. Members of the Second City Touring Company get set to bring their unique brand of comedy to BU. SCTV brings satire to BU The Second City Touring Company, as noted by Time magazine is a "temp le of satire . " They are an energetic comic group that can positively tickle your funny bone . The Second city is the finest stage entertainment you will ever see. It gives a new meaning to the word comedy. As Bernard Sahlins , a co-producer , remarks , "we took comedy away from joke telling to the political and inte rpersonal. " The Kehr Union Program Board is sponsoring a ni ght with Second City. They will appear in Haas Center at Bloomsburg University on Monday , October 27 , at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $3 for the general public , and free for B.U. students with I.D. Reserved seats are available. The Second City Touring Company is a traveling comedy group who performs rehearsed sketches and some improvisational material. As one actor commented , "naturall y , improvisation is sometimes like swimming without your limbsyou just sink. But when it works , you fl y, and w i t h o u t instruments. " Their humor is familiar , they mock our political , social and cultural lives. With few props and costumes they create a 'slice of life .' Second City has been referred to as a "home for some of the greatest comic geniuses. " Some of the graduates of Second City are : Dan Aykroyd , Ed Asner , John Belushi , John Cand y. Valerie Harper , Linda Lavin , Shelly Long, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner , Joan Rivers , and Betty Thomas. Their stage performances reflect those of "Saturday Ni ght Live. " Many members of Second City got their bi g break by appearing on "Saturday Ni ght Live. " Second City has hurled more than 200 performers into show business. On the average , more than one member a year achieves stardom. After each main stage performance , the actors ask the audience to throw out ideas for skits that they can work on for their next performance. The ideas g iven by the audience are worked on and become part of their repertoire for t h e i r f u t u r e performances. In 1951. at the University of Chicago . Paul Sills , artistic director , and David Shepherd , writerdirector, turned a former chopsuey shop into what would be the start of The Second City , called the Playwri ght ' s Theatre Club. After the Playwri ght 's Theatre Club began to pick up, Bernard Sahlins joined the company as coproducer. In 1955 , Shepherd and Sills organized an improvisational group. Compass Players , to perform in ni ght clubs. While this group was being put together , Sahlins formed the Studebaker Theatre Company in downtown Chicago as a showcase for the Compass Players and members of Playwri ght ' s Theatre Club. The Studebaker Theatre closed after one year , closely followed by the break-up of the Compass Players . The entire company then went their own seperate ways , but hoped that they-,w ould reunite one day . In 1959. Sahlins and Sills were reunited along with some of the other members of the company , and formed The Second City in Old Town , Illinois. The Second City got its name from a New Yorker , A.J. Liebling, who wrote some put downs about Chicago. The Second City was such a success in Chicago , they opened a company at the Royale Theatre in New York in 1961. They went to London for three performances and received i n t e r n a t i o n a l recognition. Second City had its first television broadcast in 1963, doing a series of specials. They were hour and half hour shows produced in London. Because Second City was in great demand , they opened a company in Toronto in 1973. It was directed by Sahlins , and the cast was made up of: Dan Ay kroyd , Valeri Bromfield , Brian D o y l e - M u r r a y , Jane Eastwood , Joe Flaherty , Gilda Radner , and Fred Skaz. The television series and broadcasts were so successful that Sahlins decided to produce The Second City 's own series , SCTV . It was p icked up by 55 U.S. Cities and in part s of Canada. The series poked fun at the life of a 'typical' television station. In 1981 , NBC began airing SCTV on Friday ni ghts. This increased Second City 's recognition. The Second City was also making specials for Home Box Office , and in 1980, began working with films. Paramount Pictu res boug ht their adaptation of David Mamefs "Sexual Perversity in Chicago. " Other projects that Second city produced were "The Pin kerton Lady, " "Weekend Warriors , " and "Intimate Sex Lives. " As a member of The Second City, comedians learn to think on their feet. When a joke doesn 't go over , they have a quick wit to recover. As 77ie New York Times commented , "the entire recent tradition of American theatrical satire can be summed up in three words: 'The Second City '."

" Filomens a Simeone , sophomore accounting major , made this comment about a field tri p for hei meteorology class taught by Joseph Pifer. The field trip consisted of a 45-50 minute airp lane ride over Bloomsburg. Temperature and pressure both decrease with increasing altitudes. To see this for themselves , the meteorology students took temperature and pressure readings as the plane ascended. After the fli ght , the students graphed the readings. Pifer has been conducting this field trip for ten years . He charters planes from the Lycoming Air Service in Williamsport , which is owned by Jim Taylor. "We enjoy fly ing the students ," Tay lor commented. "It 's a very beneficial program. " Tay lor 's pilots fly a hig h winged Cessna 172 p lane to the Bloomsburg Municipal Airport. Students board there in groups of three. The trip can take place only on a clear , calm day to comply widi air flying restrictions of Bloomsburg. After the p lane levels off at about 7000 feet , and the students have completed taking readings , they are .free to enjoy the ride. Some students take cameras with them. The p ilot will fly anywhere within a 60 mile range. "After ten years , we 've never had any problems with sickness or rough flights ,"Pifer said. For junio r accounting major Tom Keys, the flight was his first one. "I was anxious as we approached the runway, but surprising ly it was a smooth flight , even the landing. "He says, "It was an experience I'll remember for a long time. " Members of A Chorus Line warm up prior to last night's performance in Haas Auditorium. (Voice photo by Alex Schillemans.)

THE FAR SIDE ' By GARY LARSON from page 4 stumble and sway as you walk , and you have seen the bathroom quite frequentl y for the last hour. You're having a good time, though , so you toast to your life and the fun you are having with the people nearest you. The more you drink , the more confident you feel in yourself , so you drink another beer and decide to go and talk to those people you 'd like to get to know. Everything is going great . You are having the time of your life so you drink two more beers . "This was a mistake " is what your head and stomach keep telling you after the last couple drinks finally hit you . The party, people , and music don 't all seem so rosy anymore and the only thing that would satisfy you would be your bed and two aspirin. You somehow make it home, pass out and sleep until 2:00 the next day . When you wake up and try to remember the night past , half of the evening was a total blur and you have no idea how or who brought you home. You say to your roommate, "I am never going to do that again , and I' m not going out toni ght. " Your roommate just looks at you and realizes he/she has heard that before , in fact even has said it himself/herself and knows that one should never say never. Did that scene sound familiar to you? I'm sure many of you can remember at least one time where you said , "I'll never... " and you did anyway . Don't you wish you could go out with your friends to a party , have a few dri nks, stay happy , remember who you talked to, and be able to wake up feeling fine the next morning? You can ! It all has to do with knowing the myths and truths about alcohol , and knowing how much alcohol you can handle responsibly. It is necessary be familiar with the different stages of intoxication in order to understand when to slow down and act responsibly . The first stage is the happy stage where you begin to become talkative , relaxed , sociable , and your worries seem few. This is the best stage to be in and only a couple of drinks , depending on your size , is all you need to feel this way . The second stage is the excited stage. This is the stage where you become emotional , your behavior becomes erratic, your jud gement and thinking become impaired , and there is a loss of control over your actions. This is when you become irritated at your friends or start fights that wouldn 't oroccur in other dinaril y circumstances. A lot of tears are shed during this stage too , for there is a tendency to be very emotional while drinking. The confused stage is the third to occur. This occurs when you stagger , become disoriented , moody , fearful , and angry . The stupor stage is the fourth stage . This is when you are unable to stand or walk. While in this stupor, it is hard to remain conscious and vomiting occurs.
