From the Middle East by Maria Libertella Advertising Manager Representatives from the Middle East will soon be speaking on campus as part of an upcoming symposium entided "Arab-Isreali Conflict: The Search for Peace." The symposium, which will be from November 17-20, is an expansion of the Presidential Scholars Program. According to the programs ' director , Dr. Nancy Onuschak, the symposium is intended to expose all students, faculty , and the community-at-large to the different perspectives of the issue. Throughout the four days, various speakers will discuss the importance of peace to this region, American strategic interest, and the decisions needed to resolve the dispute. "The symposium has been subsidised by a 4,000 award from the Bloomsburg University Foundation Board and from monies from the Dean's Fund for Excellence," says Onuschak, who together with Professor George Turner and Dr. Pete Bohling, organized the event. The symposium will begin at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 17 in Kuster Auditorium with Dr. William B. Quandt of the Brookings Institute speaking on the "Prospects for Pease in the Middle East.

New Bachelor 's program BLOOMSBURG- A new degree program, Bachelor of Science in Adult Health , has been approved for Bloomsburg University by the Board of Governors for the State System of Higher Education. The new degree emphasizes sound studies of the physical , psychological and intellecutal potential of the human being at various adult phases. The program has been added to the university 's Department of Health , Physical Education and Athletics with very little cost, according to Jerry Medlock, chairman of the department. All but two of the required courses currently are taught on campus, and no additional faculty will be needed for the program for several years, Medlock said . "Students in the program have the opportunity to take a wide spectrum of courses in genreal education and liberal arts, which will be advantageous in assisting older people," he said. The need for the new degree program grew from the gradual increase in the mean age of the general population and the great increase in the elderly population , along with the programs that deal with adulthood and aging , Medlock said. William Sproule , assistant department chair, developed the program at BU. He said that potential employers for graduates of the program exist wherever there are indentifiable organized programs for the aged . "Career opportunities also exist in the Water act veto by Dennis Bell L.A. Times-Washington Pbst'Service WASHINGTONEarl y Thursday , Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., pleaded with President Reagan to live up to his promise of bipartisan cooperation by signing into law the $18 billion Clean Water Act that would pay for thousands of sewer projects nationwide. Thursday afternoon, the president vetoed the bill. ' 'The first bill I will introduce on the first day of the 100th Congress will be Clean Water , " Moynihan said after the veto. "I wish it were otherwise. The president had an opportunity to avoid confrontation with the new Congress. Now he has one. " ' 'We relish the opportunity to pass the same bill in the new Congress and override the president , " said Rep. Thomas Downey , D-N.Y. In a statement explaining his veto, Reagan said, "Unfortunately, this bill so far exceeds acceptable levels of intended budgetary commitments , that I must withhold my approval. " The president wanted to spend no more than $6 billion to keep the federal grant program for sewage and waste-water treatment plant construction going for three years, then turn it over to state and local governments. The Democrats' harsh public words may not be followed by swift action in the opening days of the next session , even with the party 's new 55-45 majority in the Senate to go along with its already overwhelming control of the House. While promising bipartisan cooperation , White House aides said Wednesday that the president also would seek to form coalitions with conservative and moderate Democratic senators to keep his conservative agenda on track.

Voice photo by Alex Schillemans The ad in the classified section of the local newspaper read "For Adults Only; " it directs readers to call Rose. The ad is part of a program offered by the Student Organization of Adult Resources (SOAR), whose members are nontraditional students (NTS), to aid people contemplating a return or initiation to the college classroom. The percentage of nontraditional students at Bloomsburg University has been rising in the past ten years, with nearly 20 percent of the full-time and part-time enrollment composed of NTS , defined at BU as students 23 or older. SOAR's programs have been adapted and adopted on other college campuses in Pennsylvania and New York , though the organization is only two years old. Patricia Diebert of Danville , the first president of SOAR and now a graduate student at BU , said the "For Adults Only " ad lets people in the community know they can call someone for advice. "Rose is actually a code name so that people answering the calls know the call is from an adult in need of information about getting into college . The types of help required vary . "Some of them say they have been thinking about taking a class but they haven 't been in school for 10 years or so, " said Deibert , ' 'and some say they are thinking of a career change and don 't know what steps to take . " Deibert added that some simply do not know where to start. "Sometimes the fear is so great they almost cannot overcome it; th ey think they will stick out like a sore thumb . We schedule a meeting for them with our trained peer advisor , and we do as much as we can ." Deibert said in addition to this , they provide a SOAR survival kit. The survival kit is a portfolio full of information on things including child-care on campus , registration procedures , recreational opportunities , flyers about the use of university services and facilities and a letter of welcome from SOAR. "We give out anywhere fro m Rose helps others 25 to 30 packets each semester , including s u m m e r , " said Deibert. SOAR had its beginning in the fall of 1983. Barbara Boyer, a non-traditional student from Lebanon began by putting together an NTS student directory and starting a one-page newsletter. Posters , buttons and activities were also used to increase awareness. The group considered attempting to join the Commuters Association , but found the idea did not offer enough "identification for the group, " said Deibert. After contacting non-traditional student organizations at other schools , the name SOAR appealed to the members and the organization was officially approved by the Community Government Association (CGA), the student government at BU. Activities of SOAR last year include a Non-Traditional Student Week , an NTS reception at the president 's residence , a peer advisement program , and representation in CGA. Weapons sales to be reassessed by William C. Rempel L.A. Times Washington Post Service The Department of Justice will reassess pending prosecutions of arms dealers accused of violating a federal ban on weapons sales to Iran in light of reports that top White House aides engaged in covert arms shipments to Tehran , a department spokesman said Thursday . The official also conceded that the reported secret White House operation "raises legal questions " about whether previously convicted arms dealers should remain in prison. "There will be a general, caseby-case review of all our cases relating to arms deals with Iran , " John Russell, a spokesman for the Justice Department , said in a terse statement. The Los Angeles Times , quoting government sourses , reported Thursday that the Reagan administration , using an Israeli-operated supply line, has shipped U.S. -made missiles and weapons parts to Iran since last year in an operation that led to the release of three American hostages in Lebanon. The secret missions were reportedly directed by former national security adviser Robert C. McFarlane, and apparently were conducted initially without the knowledge of Secretary of State George P. Shultz or Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger. Despite the Justice Department 's planned review, U.S. Customs Service spokesman Dennis Murphy insisted Thu rsday that the agency "will continue to enforce (the laws against) arms export violations " in shipments involving Iran and other embargoed nations. It is unclear how many criminal cases might be affected nationwide by the Justice Department's case-by-case review. However, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fahey estimated that in Los Angeles alone, the leading federal district in numbers of arms case prosecutions, there are "approximately five or six cases under active investigation. " The reported disclosures also cast new light on evidence emerging from the biggest of the cases, which is awaiting trial in New York . It is almost certain to be among the first reviewed by the Justice Department . Among the 17 international businessmen charged with conspiring to send restricted munitions and arms to Iran , in violation of the Arms Export Control Act, was retired Israeli Gen. Avraham Bar-Am. "A lot of other people have gone to jail for violating the foreign policy of the United States and now we find out that the U.S. officials responsible for our foreign policy were actually sending arms to Iran in support of that foreign policy, " said Lawrence Bader , an attourey for one of the defendants in New York. Court records in that case, and the transcripts of undercover tape recordings of conversations between the accused arms dealers , indicate that unnamed aides to Vice President George Bush and others on the National Security Council may have met secretly with some of the dealers between last December and February to negotiate terms for a proposed U.S.-sanctioned arms deal with Iran. Federal prosecutors in New York had derided as "farfetched" the claim of several defendants that any arms trade wity Iran would have the sanction of high U.S. officials. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Schofield told the court she would have produced any documents indicating "that the foreign policy of the United States... was to permit the shipment of U.S. arms to Iran , " but she said , "at this time we are aware of none. " One of those charged in the case, London-based American attorney Sam Evans, told The Times recently that another defendant , identified in court records as John de la Roque, an American living as a fugitive in St. Tropez , France, told him repeatedly that he was working with people in the National Security Council. De la Roque , according to court records , said he had met with two American officials in West Germany earl y last February . And in a telephone conversation monitored by Customs Service agents , De la Roque reported after the meeting that the proposed transaction , involving F-4 fighter planer for Iran , was opposed by Shultz but was at least tentatively supported by Bush. According to transcripts of the secretly recorded call , De la Roque assured his Iranian contact on Feb. 7, ' 'My feeling is good right now.... Now it 's as far up as it (the proposal) can go, and (the vice president)... says it 's good . He used to be the head of the CIA so he knows what he's doing.... So I imagine that he feels that if it 's good for him politically, he'll do it. " De la Roque also explained on the tape that "the way (the shipments) would go (to Iran) would be... via Israel.

I Commentary Features Classifieds Sports page 2 page 4 page 5 page 6 I Commentary Mature and survive Two million years ago , Man 's ancestor , Homo habilis , made and used tools to aid him in surviving . He was still practically an animal , but his intelligence was far beyond that of the other creatu res around him. Around 30,000 B.C., the flute , the first known musical instrument , was developed . Three thousand years later , the earliest discovered cave art was drawn. These are examples of Man 's cultural evolution. They show an aesthetic sensitivity manifested itself earl y in our history . It was not until 15,000 B.C. that the first 'technolog ical' weapon , the spear thrower , was developed . The bow and arrow did not follow until about 5 ,000 years later. Today , we can begin the life of a human being in a laboratory . We can travel to the moon and 'touch' the stars . Yet with all of this growth , all of the progress , man is still one of the most vicious creatures in existence. There are few animals on earth that kill among their own kind. We do it routinely. We can destroy a country with the push of a button. We g lamorize butchery on television shows like Miami Vice. As a race , we kill indescriminately, daily, and without regard for life. Paging th rough recent news magazines (Newsweek, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10), it was amazing how trul y savage mankind is toward itself , let alone to lower animals. On the front page of the Nov. 3 issue, an American mercenary is shown teaching contras in Central America. He is not teaching them to read , to write , or how to raise a family. He is teaching them how to kill efficientl y. Mercenaries , the magazine article said , are drawn to war by a "primal pull. " Primal , as in original or primative. Turning the page , Syria is linked to terrorist bombings. A government sponsoring the slaug hter of innocent civilians. There is even an article on hazing entitled "Death Among the Greeks. " The article revolves around the unnecessary deaths and injuries that occur during pledging. A quote from the article reads , "From California to New York , Louisiana to Minnesota , pledges have been buried alive , burned , branded , poisoned. Some have fallen from buildings and off cliffs. " Even toward those one would call 'brother ,' the viciousness continues. As a people we create terms to justify our actions and hatred toward each other. In Rambo, Sly does not kill people. He kills Reds , Gooks , Commies. President Reagan termed the Soviet Union the evil one, himself donning a white hat in the confrontation between 'them ' and us. The Ku Klux Klan is one of many organizations based on hate . Its members blame the problems of the world on anyone outside their own Waspy ex- Security's car hits Elwell istence. The methods and modes by which this organization has carried out its 'self-proclaimed ' responsibilities are a history of killing and scare tactics. We have even created words that express the meaning without having to actually say, "Kill!" Waste , liquidate , dispatch , terminate with extreme prejudice. These are all words or phrases that mean kill without saying it. They even sound macho. The worst manifestation of our dilemma shows itself in childre n 's cartoons. Characters kill each other routinely, seldomly raising even an eyebrow afterwards. Shows, including G.I. Joe and The Transformers , illustrate the total disregard for life. They also push a 'good guy vs bad guy ' philosoph y which appears to hinge upon the belief that since we are the good guys , then anyone not with us is the bad guy . With so much sensitivity , man clings to an animalistic savagery against its own kind that few other animals do. Our technology has grown much faster than we have. We have yet to gain the maturity required to ensure our own survival . There are weapons pointed east and west that would , if used , destroy us , 'us ' meaning mankind. We no longer can look at the world from the perspective of 'us ' and 'them. ' There is too much at stake. We must control the viciousness that was our primitive past and reconcile it with a desperate need for survival. A few questionable actions Recently, an unoccupied vehicle , belong ing to Bloomsburg University Law Enforcement , went over the bank in front of Elwell Hall and crashed into what fortunately was an empty dorm room. A student is being held responsible for the incident , which in itself seems to be according to procedure . There appear , however , to be a few contradictions to the 'prank' the incident is assumed to be. These must be looked at. The car was sitting between Lycoming Hall and the building which houses the Law Enforcement Office and the College Store. The student allegedly took the car out of gear , setting it 'adrift '. The roadway between the buildings and in front of Law Enforcement happens to be a oneway street , heading away fro m Elwell. How then did the front end of the car hit the building ? Another interesting thing is the fact that after the incident , the officer who had been operating the vehicle prevented a student fro m taking a picture of the accident , threatening to charge her with disorderl y conduct. Why? A third interesting complication in this incident concerns the parents of one of the girls whose room was 'hit. ' They were not notified of the incident until 3 p.m. the following day . The father of one girl spoke to The Voice, trying to find out what was going to happen to Student says be thankful Editor: After reading Kathleen K Ryan 's letter to the editor (Nov . 6, 1986) I felt a very rare urge to write a letter. Mrs . Ryan 's letter criticizes the Registrar 's Office, Business Office and in general the university with what I consider the "irrational ravings of an 18-year-old . " Yes, I must agree that many of her complaints are well founded , but if she thinks that these problems are unique to Bloomsburg University she is very misguided. I come from a family of 9 children , 6 of whom have gone to other colleges and have voiced horror stories that make BU look like paradise. Yes , -Bloomsburg University has problems but the route she has taken is to complain publically in The Voice , solving no problems. My advice to her is two-fold: 1. If she experiences another problem , she should consider a solution and then voice it to the appropriate person. She may be surprised at how welcome it would be. 2. She should be thankful she can afford and is receiving a good education. Sincerely , Sean C.

He had spoken to BU officials and had been told little. Why did the university wait until 3 p.m. the following day to call the girl' s parents? The father was told everything was alright and that his daug hter was being moved to another room on campus. By the evening of the day after the 'accident ,' a wooden panel covered the hole in the wall of Elwell Hall. A Voice photographer took a picture of the 'bandaged' wall for the following Monday 's issue. It seems interesting to note that the parents of the girl were not called until the mess was cleaned up.

Ferris Bueller 's Day Off , Close but no vulgarity by George Will Editorial Columnist For the ninth time this semester, the hi gh-school senior from a Chicago suburb has faked an illness (licking his palms to make them clammy is his preferred "non-specific symptom ") to fool his dotty parents into letting him "ditch" school. Now , speaking directl y to the camera , he says: " If I go for 10, I' m probably going to have to barf up a lung. " Ninety minutes later , the discerning movie- (note well: I do not say "film- " or "cinema- ") goer leaves the theater saying : "At last, that is settled . " Arguments rage about whether the second greatest movie is this or that exp loration of Scandinavian angst or this or that study of men in black turtleneck pullovers who suffer 'urban dread in Paris or Milan with women who drink bitter coffee and wear their hair in buns and ceramic earrings they crafted in their backyard kilns. But for those of us who seriously doubt that movies are often serious , it is clear that the greatest movie of all time has shown at fine theaters everywhere . It was "Ferris Bueller 's Day Off. " By "greatest movie " I mean the moviest movie , the one most true to the general spirit of movies , the spirit of effortless escapism. Remember Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape , " busting out of a German POW camp? Ferris "borrows " a friend' s father 's Ferrari and escapes for a day , fro m something worse: high school. As should happen in a teenager liberationist movie , Ferris reduces a ferret-faced school administrator to rubble, bamboozles his soggy-headed parents and lives out every teen-ager's fantasy of subverting authority at every turn. Ferris is, as the saying goes, "into " fun. The movie elicits cliches—what America 's premier essayist , Joseph Epstein , calls "ephemeral verities. " The cliches will be to the effect that Ferris is a symptom. Need you ask of what? Of the self-absorption of youth corrupted by the complacency. ,of , the Reagan ' years. Such zeitgeistmongering is punctured by Epstein 's question: When , other than periods of war or economic calamity , have people not been self-absorbed? "Ferns Bueller _ is—let us blurt out the worst—not serious. But , then , few movies are , and fewer should be. Here is an oddity of our age. Many people would rather undergo torture or (what is much the same thing) have a Judith Kranz novel read aloud to Out of Afghanistan them than have it said that they willingly read third rate novels , yet those peop le go to movies that are the moral equivalents of Kranz novels , and will read ponderous reviews of those movies. Epstein , who believes that much movie reviewing amounts to distinguishing between the fourth-rate and the third-rate, says that reading Pauline Kael , "page after page , on , say , the movie 'Popeye ' becomes a spectacle akin to listening to someone play 'Mares Eat Gates and Does Eat Oates ' on a Stradivarius. " It is , perhaps , best to shrug and say , as the critic did , that vulgarity is the garlic in the salad of life. Besides , before you wince and writhe and fear for the Republic because of the coarseness of the children , remember the kind of vulgarity you hear on news broadcasts , from journalists who ask questions such as (Epstein 's examples), "What did you think when you first heard your husband had been killed?" or "What went throug h your mind when you learned you had cancer , now for the third time?" or "Tell me, Holy Father , have you never regretted not having children of your own?" Ferris and his friends have their faults , including a weakness for bad words, but at least they do not talk like that. Soviets feel little pressure There was a routine quality to the United Nations ' call for withdrawl of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. It was, after all , the eighth such appeal; the Kremlin may feel a diplomatic sting but lives with it. Characteristically, the Soviet delegate protested that the U.N. had taken up the "so-called Afghan problem " at all , and the Indian delegate pronounced the resolution "less than fully constructive and supportive. " It carried 122 to 20. Notwithstanding the drone , it is necessary to remember that for most of a decade the Soviet Union has been savaging a small , poor , unoffending Islamic neighbor. To impose an unwanted communist regime, it has killed , maimed and driven into internal or foreign exile more than half of its total population. The Kremlin has been conducting an aggression whose closest recent analogue is Cambodia. Indeed , a United Nations report on Afghanistan dipicts "a situation approaching genocide. " The Afghan military resistance has shown itself capable of blocking Soviet victory and inflicting heavy costs in casualties and international standing, while pulling off occasional spectaculars. Still , Moscow 's military machine is forcing peasants into the cities or into Pakistan and Iran-drying up the sea in which guerrilla fish swim. Whether the expected arrival of new antiaircracft missiles will reduce the guerrillas ' most conspicuous military disadvantage is sure to be one of the hot questions of 1987. The United Nations earnest diplomacy has gone every mile but the last. It has yet to secure from the Russians an undertaking to withdraw , even by stages and with guarantees against reprovisions of the resistance, and thereby to put at risk their costly investment in Kabul. This is what the argument over a withdrawal timetable is about. Meanwhile, the Russians trv to wear down the guerrillas and their Arab , Moslem and American sponsors , especially Pakistan , vulnerable as it is to border probes , bombs and tribal diversions . It is often suggested that, in this season of summitry, President Reagan should keep on the greatpower agenda the issue of Soviet political conduct or , in a common euphemism, "reg ional disputes. " The United States does this most pointedl y by sustaining the Afghan freedom fighters. Moscow , by pulling out a token part of its occupation force last week , sought not merely to influence the U.N. debate but also to stir a reciprocal response from the resistance. It would have a better chance of being taken seriously by setting a withdrawal table, a short one. "It took them only 72 hours to get in ," the Canadian delegate recalled .

Quiet Riot comes back QR III breaks new ground Ken Kirsch Commercialism in rock and roll has long been a point of criticism against those who supposedl y infect the ears of our generation. And with good reason. There are a multitude of bands out there who are just out to make a fast buck. Quiet Riot has long been accused of being such a band . This comes as no surprise , as vocalist Kevin Dubrow sang on "'Cum on Feel the Noize " in 1983 .'• you think my sing in * s out of time/well, it makes me money. " After making their coveted millions off their debut album Metal Health. Quiet Riot suffered from severe sophomore slump with '"Condition Critical . "' The record sold poorl y , and consequentl y the ensuing tour was sparsel y attended. Bassist Rudy Sarzo left the band to pursue a solo career , and the rest of the band decided to take a two year hiatus , vowing to return in 1986. The layoff has done them a world of good . The band now features new bassist Chuck Wri ght and the addition of studio key boardist John Purdell , along with Dubrow , guitarist extraordinaire Carlos Cavazo , and drummer Frank Banali. Their new album , "QR III , " breaks new ground for the band in a number of areas, and since it is more of a musical achieve- ment than a commercial package , radio play has been rare and sales down. The drumming of Banali , before used strictl y as a rhythm element , now takes center stage hi ghli ghting "The Wild and the Young, " "Main Attraction ," and the pro-youth theme "Hel ping Hands. " Clearly the most distinguishing part of the record is the incorporation of Purdell' s key board expertise. It seems like yesterday when Dubrow was say ing "the onl y key boards that sound good to me are when my cat runs across the top of my piano . " The album opens with Purdell doing an impressive up-tempo scale which sounds a lot like A-ha taken one step further and two steps faster. Also unlike their o t h e r records , u n d e r l y ing key boards are used its a major rhythm element. Purdell and guitarist Cavazo blend nicel y on •"Tw ili g ht Hotel . " a ballad about lost dreams and innocence in show busin ess. ""At the twili ght hotel/check your sou! at the door/they ' ve got memories to sell/and so much more. " This album also breaks new rhythmic ground. The shock-and ji ve , boog ie-woog ie of "Down and Dirty " is a welcome change as well as the rap /metal-thumper tinge of "The Pump, " a tune which clearl y shows the bands ' Led Zeppelin influence. Wri ght 's bass intro on that number would be enoueh to make Chris Squire blush. The hi ghli g ht of the record , thoug h , is "Still of the Ni ght , " a beautifull y played ballad , featuring some intricate key board/ guitar trade-off as well as the soaring background vocals of Bobby Kimball. The only thing missing from this one is the fading crickets at the end. In light of last years ' PMRC scare , Quiet Riot answers with "The Wild and the Young. " The video depicts an Orwellian future with the eventual banning of all rock and roll. Though exaggerated , the video shows the absolute idiocy of the idea of censorsh ip and the self-righteousness of those at the head of the movement. Overall , though not a genius of a musica l statement the likes of Dark Side of the Moon , this album finall y brings to the forefront the talent this band was always heretofore afraid to show , caught up in the complacency of overni ght success. Now that they ' ve been down at the bottom again , hopefull y they won 't let it happen a second time. The Kappa Sweethearts step at Saturday Night's show In the Union.

However , this article is not an open battlefield for people to sling insults back and forth. A survey taken of brothers and sisters of every Greek organization at BU asked onl y two questions , wh y they pledged and how they felt they have benefitted from the experience , not how they feel about non-Greeks. The survey produced some interesting findings. First of all , the processes of rush and pled ging should be explained.

And the things we do not deal with get locked away in the back of our minds , and we feel that if we ignore them, they will go away . Sometimes, however, we need to be enlightened. Fortunately , the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble brings us Athol Fugard 's 'Master Harold' and the Boys. On 'the surface, this show seems to deal with racism, and it does. But , more importantly, the show has underlying emphasis on pure relationships between friends in an unusual set of circumstances. The show is set in preapartheid South Africa , but racism is a hot issue, as the minority whites are ruling the majority blacks. There exist here in this show three men , each having to deal with life on three very different levels. First there is Harold. Harold is at that tender age where each major change is earth-shattering . Despite his youth , Harold has a zest for life that can not be satisfied by a math book. Despite the political and social circumstances, Harold finds a friend in Sam. a black waiter who works in Harold's father's tea room. Sam does not resemble the stereotypical South African black. Sam is a nrkn of great philosophical perspective and is essentially Harold's teacher. Willy is the third character in the show, and is also a black working in the tea room. He resembles more the stereotype, but yet must also serve as a metaphor in the show for an innocence lost in this often heartless world. Willy is a man who is capable of great tenderness at one moment and great cruelty the next , though we do not get much of a look at his cruel side onstage. The stage is then set for a rainy afternoon encounter between the three when Harold discovers that his father will return home fro m the hospital. What follows is a roller coaster of emotions that climaxes in a confrontation between Sam and Harold that is more likely to produce an audience of head shakers than eye-driers. We see a clash not between black and white, but between two men . Everything that happens in the show has significance; nothing is lost or thrown away. We see Abdoulae N'Gom as Sam and Patrick Rameau as Willy giving us a tender scene of two friends interacting, Sam as teacher and Willy as student of ballroom dan- Peer advisors aid freshmen From page 4 Furthermore, the undeclared freshmen have an even harder time choosing classes for the next semester. A student with a declared major , such as medical technology , has a basic idea of what he or she will need to take. A freshman who has no set direction to start with can have a very trying time deciding what to take; Kris Felton , an undeclared freshman , said she feels a little lost in the whole process of course selection. "Having no major makes it harder to decide what I should take," she said. "Sometimes it seems as if everyone knows what to do but me. " Felton believes a student a little older than her would be a great help to her while try ing to sort through the confusion. However , Felton is not alone. DiGiondomenico said he wants to 4 'make sure those undeclared freshmen are not floundering and feeling lost. " A peer advisor is just one more person to help these students "through the maze. " To become a peer advisor a student is required to have a GPA of at least 2.75. Also, the student must have attended the university for at least two years. Candidates for the program then go through a screening process with DiGiondomenico and , if they are chosen, attend a brief training seesion on the issues they will be dealing with. This year there are 120 undeclared freshmen and only seven peer advisors . Because of the low number of advisors, it is likely that not all undeclared freshmen will be assigned to one this semester. "We had roughly the same number of advisors last year , but the number of students has increased so our need for willing people is much greater," DiGiondomenico said. Each advisor is assigned about 10 students and is to contact them regularly for one academic year or until a student decides on a major. The peer advisement program is strictly voluntary/ Although she is not paid , Youshock said she finds the program to be rewarding for herself as well as the students she advises. . '"It's- a great ' feeling to know you can help someone who really needs guidance ," she said. Youshock estimated the time she spent talking with her advisees and DiGiondomenico to be roughly 15 hours a semester. "That 's not really a whole lot of time considering the good you are doing for others," she added . To determine how well the program went, DiGiondomenico sent out questionnaires at the end of last year. Although the response was limited , DiGiondomenico said everything that came back to him was positive. ' 'The students who are chosen to be advisors seem to do it because they really want to help, " DiGiondomenico said . "They do a great job , too." In the future, DiGiondomenico hopes the peer advisor program will help faculty to lighten the burden of the student-advisor ratio. "Some departments are so crowded that the ratio is 50 to one. That doesn 't leave much time for thorough advising. " Barbara Behr , professor of finance and business law, said she thinks advising is one of the less pleasant parts of her job. "We (professors) advise students for the wrong things ," she said. She claimed she spends more time helping students fill out scheduling cards correctly and the like, and not enough time advising them on class choices. DiGion feels peer advisors can take care of the routine things for the faculty and leave them with more time to discuss such issues as career choices. \Abortion Services > \ r ^ Reductive 5*pJ?uctlve " .

A Beta Sigma Delta brother stated that he liked knowing that he always has a place to come back to after he graduates. One of Phi Delta 's charter sisters explained that she wanted something more that just a club. "I wanted the benefits that a Greek organization has to offer , especially close friends and social events. " A Phi Sigma Xi brother said that for him it was great opportunity to meet people of the opposite sex . One Theta Tau Omega sister commented that there were times for the pledges of all the sororities to get to work together and get to know each other. "I liked this best. You get to meet so many people this way. " A sister of the probationary sorority Chi Theta Pi said, "After we broke away from Tau Kappa Epsilon we wanted to continue on as an organization. Having seen the advantages of being a Greek organization , we decided that this was the best way to carry on. " This survey shows the many different reasons that people decide to pledge, and the ways that they feel they have benefitted from it. This is not to persuade everyone to run out and pledge; being Greek is not for everyone . It just points out that people who do pledge are not just "buying their friends ," even though friendshi p is a major factor. They feel that they can gain something valuable from it. Obviously, what one person considers important is not as important to someone else. But these people all made the decision to be Greek for a reason important to them and they are happy with their decisions.

It was unclear why he was wet when he first entered the stage . Upon his entrance, water beads off his head , but there is no rain that can be heard. Slowly, the effect creeps into the scene , but until Hubatsek enters , there is no reason to believe that it is raining. N'Gom does beatifully at portray ing the depth of Sam. The most important quality of Sam in regard to this show is that Sam is a man , and must always maintain his dignity . N'Gom gives the part warmth as well as courage in a deeply moving portrayal of a real man. Rameau is delightful as he portrays a character that is sometimes more naive than Harold , and has basically succumbed to the domination of the white ruling class. Rameau uses his face articulatel y in conveying his fear , and his respect for Harold , and his yearning to get close to him. Unfortunately for all the characters , some of the blocking did not make sense as there seemed to be a problem with how to get around the counter. The set, though dangerously bringing to mind some deja vu from a play that we have scene oh the BTE stage before , is well constructed and proper for the time period. The lighting design is basically simple but well-crafted, except for an inexplicable brightness onstage toward s the end of the show. Basically, the show poses intersting and relevant questions that may be too difficult for some to deal with. However, for those who accept the challenge , this is an important show to see.

However , when Andrew Hubatsek's Harold enters the room, he represents the outside , friends though he and Sam may be, and the perspective changes. This is indicative of what follows , as the show does not flow smoothly, but yet changes drastically from one French scene to another , depending on circumstances , until finally the cataclysmic confrontation between Sam and Harold . When Sam and Harold talk of Harold' s childhood , we see tenderness on stage, but j ust as quickly we see Harold explode upon getting the news of his father 's return , only to calm down then explode again. Hubatsek basically captures the essence of Harold' s rtrugg le for matu rity . His command of the character 's ever-chang ing emotions is rather impressive , except 1 f j | | § # & • Register for great prizes too! $@ * X • I * No purshase necessary to register. «*¦ +**¦ ps^n £* ^\ ^t&e k CXj ^ w ^^ * Kehr Union BmB>MHHBKv —w i I Bloomsburg University m /- - v^n v ¦ Monday Nov.lO-Skating Pa rty/ ^ Bus leaves from Elwell / fa 9 p.m. Pick up tickets at KUB Info .
