A volunteer for Marc
Holtzman 's campaign staff has
been said to have tampered with
voter registration forms.
Two unnamed volunteers for
the Holtzman campaign reported
to have seen Tom Miller destroy
at least four voter registration
forms filled out by Democrats .
In addition , sources provided
The Voice with 37 completed
voter registration forms that were
never submitted to the Columbia
County Registrar.
"We were in the Commons
and (name withheld) had just
registered some girl , " said the
first source. "She was a
Democrat. Tom walked over...
he saw the paper , ripped it up,

threw it in the trash can and said ,
'The only thing better than a
Republican is a Democrat who
thinks he is registered and
isn 't. ' "
Both sources said they were
present and witnessed this.
When asked , both agreed the
girl was registered and the form
was complete .
Miller refused to comment on
the alleged destruction of the
registration forms. Miller said he
would not comment on accusations from unnamed sources.
Miller is a non-traditional student at BU and resides in
Bloomsburg
In addition , each source claims
that Miller 's actions resulted in
the invalidation of registration
forms for a number of
Bloomsburg University students.

Accused counselor
given new position
by Tom Sink
Staff Writer

Bloomsburg University student
counselor Wallace Woodard ,
who was hired this fall , has been
reassigned "to duties not involving student counseling, " said Jerrold Griffis , BU vice president
for student life, in a recent
university press release and interview with The Voice.
Griffis said because of publicity
generated by an article printed in
the Nov. 8 issue of the PressEnterprise , which involved the
accusations against Woodard of
sexual misconduct at his private
practice as a psychologist in
Florida , Woodard 's effectiveness
as a counselor at BU has been
diminished.
The Press-Enterprise reported ,
"Wallace Woodard , 46, came to
BU in September after 13 years
at Florida State University in
Tallahassee. It was there last year
that four women graduate
students accused him of making
sexual advances and two of them
said he had sexual relationshi ps
with them while they were seeing him for psycholog ical
counseling ."
The Press-Enterprise story also

said that Woodard "...informed
them (BU) of the allegations - and
admitted one affair with a former
student - before he was chosen for
the position in the counseling
center here,"

Griffis said that he knew of the

campus," said the second source.
The source added that Miller did
this to draw positive attention to
himself; "to make himself look
good ."
"Tom had been taking the
forms and scratching the addresses out without asking the
people and putting their box
number in , " said the second
source.
Miller declined to comment on
the alleged changing of addresses
on the forms .
The second source added that
this was only done to Republican
forms and under the assumption
that with the Kehr Union box
number on the form , the student
would be able to vote on campus.
The second source also said
Joann Reichart , Columbia County ' s Chief Registrar , told Miller
it was legal to have the students
use their KUB numbers.

'The only thing better than
a Republican is a Democrat
who thinks he 's registered
and isn 't. '
Of the 37 forms in The Voice's
possession , 25 were Republican ,
eight were Democrat , and four
were non-affiliated .
"The reason there are
Democratic forms among the
ones here is because if a
Republican and Democrat came
to the registration table together,
we would tell the Republican
(about filling in the box number)

Lightstreet Fault
not seen as hazard
The Lightstreet Fault, a fracture of approximately 25 miles in
length lying in the rock structure
of the Susquehanna Valley, poses
no threat to the surrounding area,
according to Dr. Norman
Gillmeister, Associate Professor
of geography and earth science at
Bloomsburg University and
researcher on the fault.
The fault , for many years, had
been uncovered by excavators
and drillers but not given a name .
In the late 1960's and early
1970' s, test drilling on the construction site of the Bell Bend
Nuclear Power Plant near Berwick revealed the fault 's existence in that area. In 1977, John
Inners of the Geographical Socie-

ty of America based in Hershey
Pa. described and named the
fault.
In the early 1980's local companies surveyed and tested areas
around the fault to determine the
existence of natural gas. "Either
they found nothing or they lost interest," explains Gillmeister ,
"because the companies did not
proceed any further. "
Gillmeister points out that
small earthquakes and temors felt
in this region in the past were not
caused by any disturbance in the
fault. "Because the rock structure
of this section of the United States
is so solid , earthquakes and
tremors occurring in Ohio and
New York are also felt in our part
of the state , " Gillmeister
explained.

Department will
be accredited
The
Department
of
Sociology/Social Welfare will
soon be accredited by the Council of Social Welfare Education.
Students majoring in sociology
with a social welfare concentration will earn a bachelors degree
in social welfare (BSW) . The first
class will graduate May , 1988.
According to Sue Jackson ,
chairperson of the sociology
department , there are two main
advantages for the student to
graduate from an accredited
school of social work . First , it
will only take the student one year
rather than two to complete work
on the master level (MSW) . Second , the studnet that moves to
another state will be able to compete in the job market with other
graduates , and/or , be able to apply for license to practice in
another state.
The student that chooses to
study for the BSW will basically
follow the current program for
sociology/social welfare majors
execpt certain general education
courses will be added to satisfy

McFarlane wants no secrets on Iran
by Jack Nelson

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Robert C. McFarlane, the
former White House national
security advisor and President
Reagan 's emissary in the
clandestine negotiations with
Iran , said Tuesday that he has
urged the White House to lift it?
lid of secrecy and release "a
complete, accurate " record of the
controversial operation to the
public.
Interviewed by the Los Angeles
Times, McFarlane said that the
strategic importance of Iran- and
the need to establish ties with
moderates in Tehran- was of
"more enduring importance"
than the feelings of Americans
held hostage by pro-Iranian factions in Lebanon.
Those Americans have been a
focus of more than a year of
secret U.S. dealings with officials
in the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's regime in which the
Reagan administration helped
channel U.S. military equipment

to Iran- supplies that nation
desperately needed for its lengthy
war with Iraq .
McFarlane, who sources say
conceived the plans for the operations in 1985 while still serving
as the national security advisor ,
refused to discuss the specifics of
his role. He challenged the news
media's "portrayal of motives"
in the operation , but not overall
account of how arms were exchanged for Iran 's aid in freeing
Americans held hostage in
Lebanon.
"I would like to give you
details, but I just can't," he said .
He said that he hopes the White
House will release information
within a week, but he added: "I
accept their reasons for not doing it now. " He- declined to
elaborate but said that concern for
the safety of ther Americans still
being held in Lebanon "is not
trivial , it 's a real risk. "
McFarlane, now a foreignpolicy consultant , was interviewed in his seventh-floor office of
a downtown building here. He

expressed frustration over not
feeling free to discuss details of
the Iranian operation.
Several times he said that, he
did not want to make any "selfserving statements." But he said
he would make a detailed accounting of his actions when the White
House gave its approval .
The arms shipments, approved
by Reagan , led to the release 10
days ago of David P. Jacobsen ,
55, of Huntingdon Beach , Calif. ,
the former director of the
American University Hospital in
Beirut, who had been held by the
Islamic Jihad (Islamic Holy War),
a group of Shia Moslem fundamentalists . The operation also
has been credited with the freeing of the Rev . Benjamin Weir ,
61, a Presbyterian minister, in
September 1985 and of Father
Lawrence M. Jenco , 51, Beirut
chief of Catholic Relief Services,
in July .
Despite McFarlane's urgings,
the White House clamped an even
tighter lid Tuesday on both public
and private explanations of its

courtship of the Iranians.
The effort to maintain tight
secrecy came amid indications
that the administration is still
working through intermediaries
to free at least one of two
Americans still held hostage by
the Islamic Jihad . They are
Thomas Sutherland , 55, dean of
the school agriculture at the
American University of Beirut ,
and Terry A. Anderson, 39, chief
Mideast correspondent for
Associated Press.
In addition , another extremist
group, the Revolutionary Justice
Organization , claims to have
recently kidnapped two other
Americans in Beirut- Joseph C.
Cicippio, 56, acting controller of
American University of Beirut ,
and Edward A. Tracy , an illustrator and salesman of the
Koran. Another American, Frank
H. Reed , 53, director of the
Lebanese International School in
West Beirut , was seized by four
gunmen in September and a proLibyan group called Arab
Revolutionary Cells has claimed

responsibility.
One official said that a central
White House figure in the Iranian
dealings, Marine Lt. Col. Oliver
L. North of the National Security Council, has undertaken two
and perhaps three clandestine
missions in the two weeks since
the secrecy surrounding the arms
deal began to unravel in public.
The Wall Street Journal
reported on one of those trips
Monday . The White House
denied then that North was on a
mission but did not address the
question of whether he had undertaken other recent trips.
Although North frequently
travels in connection with other
National Security Council duties ,
the current trips are believed to
be for the purpose of meeting
with intermediaries in the Iranian
situation.
The State Department, which
has asked the White House to
provide confused allies with an
explanation of the U.S. -Iranian
connection, instead was ordered

Also, the council requires the student be exposed to racial , minority, and women 's issues.
Department changes will also
be made. According to Jackson ,
the council requires -the social
welfare department to have a

from the sociology department ,
resulting in departmental changes
over the next two years .
Students graduating before
May , 1988 will not be graduating
with the BSW and the council will

However, any student that is majoring in sociology currently has
several concentrations to choose.
Such as gerontology, criminal
justice , and several others including a new option for statistics

Any student interested in learning more about careers within
the sociology department should
take a beginnning sociology
course; such as Intro to Sociology
or Intro to Social Welfare , as part
of their general education credits .

The Vietnam stigma

A&WHX. ) ^k

A few steps to the good

Written by Jeff Cox, Associate
Editor.
Ever so slowly, Americans are
finally forgiving the soldiers that
fought in the Vietnam War. '
Since the official end of the
war , the Vietnam vet has been
one of the most persecuted , looked down upon fi gure in American
society . But , slow as it may be ,
this is chang ing.
As reported in this past Sunday 's issue of The New York
Times, there have been 143
monuments in the United States
in honor of the Vietnam war.
In contrast to the animosity and
anti path y shown to the soldiers
when they first returned from the
jung les of Vietnam , feelings of
embarassment have now surfaced in the American people. For
the first time people are starting
to take time to sit down and
understand the war , instead of
hating it.
A recent commercial for a
book series chronicling the war
has a young child asking his
father , "Dadd y, what 's Vietnam?"
As the commercial states , no
one has come up with an answer
to this question. However , this
question was not asked often

enough during and afte r the war ,
and innocent people were hurt.
Too many people blamed the
soldiers for the war , when , in
fact , the causes of the war were
essentially beyond anything they
could understand or wanted to
understand . People were, to borrow the phrase , hating the warrior instead of the war.
The article also cited the fact
that the average age of the Vietnam soldier was 19, whereas the
average age for a soldier in World
War II was 26.
Though the horrors of war certainl y exist for a person of any
age , it is especially interesting to
note that this was a group ot
mainly teenage soldiers who had
been socialized into thinking that
war was a John Wayne movie. A
similar phenomenon is happening
today .
Now young children are being
socilaized into thinking that war
is what? The answer — a
Sy lvester Stallone movie. Rambo has become the character for
young children to worship and
emulate , as the brave Rambo kills
lots of Commies.
By the way , Sylvester Stallone
left the country during Vietnam
and never served in the war , yet

he has seen fit to be the
spokesman for Vietnam veterans.
The U.S. is still smarting over
the Vietnam War. We thought we
could show that we had grown up
when our people were held
hostage in Iran by giving the
hostages , people who never
engaged in combat , a hero 's
welcome when they returned .
Of course , this succeeded only in further alienating the Vietnam vets , proving to again be
another short-sighted maneuver
by our government in their efforts
to recognize the Vietnam veteran .
When the hostages returned ,
they were given season passes to
baseball games and called heroes.
When the soldiers came back
from Vietnam , people spat at
them and called them bab y
killers.
Fortunately, we learned a
lesson , late as it may have been.
Still , it stood as a lesson learned
and people took a closer look at
the Vietnam veterans.
Meaningful change, as always,
is slow. Still , the Vietnam
memorials have been 143 steps in
the right direction in recognizing
those who gave their lives for
their country .

Irrational ravings

The illness lends to fiascos

Editor:
After reading the recent letters
by Sean Mullen and Kathleen
Ryan , I felt I had to respond . I
found . Mrs. Ryan 's complaints
quite true and justifiable , not just
"irrational ravings ".
I understand that problems occur at even the best of institutions ,
but there is no excuse whatsoever
for some of the fiascos which occur at this university .
I used to think that this was a
great school , both academically
and administrativel y, until last
spring when a series of events
changed my mind completely.
It all began when I committed
the worst crime a BU student can
commit- I got sick!
It began when an accident
resulted in a severe back injury
involving nerve damage. I
couldn 't walk let alone move
without excruciating pain. The
Health Center was notified as
well as the Student Life office of
my absence , by both myself and
my doctor.
When I called I was told by student life that it was the health
center which notifies professors
of student illness.
When I called the health center
I was told that no one would be
notified until I could bring them
a doctor 's excuse, but by the time
it would have taken me to actually
get a written excuse, I would have
missed two tests without anyone
knowing why I wasn 't attending
class.
The health center wouldn 't
even accept a phone call from my
doctor-they wanted something
"written ".
If that wasn 't bad enough it was
two days away from the housing
lottery and my housing choices
and room deposit were not yet
submitted .
The residence life office would
not accept the card from my
roommate without a deposit .

After calling fro m home the day
before the lottery , I was told I
would have to physically "come
over and submit my deposit '' by
the end of that day , or my roommate and I would be left out of
the lottery . I couldn 't believe it!
There I was, flat on my back
and this office actuall y expected
me to drive to Bloomsburg and
give them their money in person.
Just how they expected me to do
that I'll never know!
I spent hours on the phone
reasoning back and forth with the
Health center and Residence Life.
Finally, after 2 calls from my
physician , the assistant Director
of CAD , and the Resident Dean
of North Hall , the health center
(in their infinite wisdom) was
convinced to send a memo to my
profs explaining my continued
absence from the university .
Also , by some miracle, my
roommate was able to persuade
the Business office to "grant " a
fee waver (a rare occurrence) and
Resident Life to accept the lottery
card . These hassles from the
above offices were needless and
unnecessary, but yet they occurred and continue to occur to many
unfortunate students like myself.
I wish I can say it ended here ,
but another office decided to
make life miserable. When I was
able to return to school , I managed to get through the semester
with one withdrawal and an incomplete.
I went home to summer break
planning to complete the course
work and final in September.
However, Financial Aid decided
to make life miserable as well.
I was notified in mid-July that
my financial aid would not be
processed because I was shy one
credit for meeting aid requirements for minimal progress.
One credit! I can 't argue about
state requirements , but I wasn 't
notified until three weeks before

the last summer session ended .
I only had three weeks to make
up this work. Luckily I lived
close enough to Bloomsburg to
complete, the work , at hqme . I
missed two weeks of work , but
I got it done.
Just when I thought it was safe
to come back in the fall , I
discovered my aid was processed for one semester only, instead
of Fall-Spring . Their reason? I' m
going to be a junior in January
and my aid "should" be from
January-January,
not
September-May .
My only question remaining is
this: How am I going to be a
junior with only 42 credits earned? I' m taking 14 credits now
which makes a total of 56 credits
at the end of this semester. Unless
the university is planning to give
me a Christmas gift of 8 credits ,
I don 't think I'll quite make it to
64.
It 's this kind of stupidity and
nonsense that Mrs . Ryan spoke
of. Sean Mullen was sincere in
his suggestion to "consider a
solution ", but who is going to
listen?
I've written several letters to
administration about the problems
I've encountered , but I have yet
to hear an acknowledgement let
alone a "solution " considered.
It's this kind of ignorance that
causes these problems: No one
wants to hear what they don 't
want to know. My advice to Mrs .
Ryan is: 1. Don 't even expect
things to go smoothly, and 2.
Don 't get sick at Bloomsburg
University !
Sincerely ,

Conventional War: A trench
by George Will
Editorial Columnist

Seventy years ago, a world
Went smash. In a sense , we are
still waist deep in debris from (the
20th century is largely debris
from) the battle that began at
Somme , Jul y 1, 1916.
Sixty-thousand British soldiers
were casualities; 20,000 were
killed that day . (Twenty thousand
is 40 percent of the ei ght-year
U.S. fatality toll in Vietnam.)
By mid-November , when the
battle oozed away in the churned
mud. the British had suffered
420.000 casualities , the French
200,000 and the Germans about
450,000.
The Sonne front was 12 miles
long. Never was more than ei ght
miles gained.
The war was a calamitous case
of new technology overwhelming
old tactics. The machine gun suddenly gave decisive advantage-to
the defease.
. .. . .
The generation that marched to
war on both sides in 1914 believed, more serenely than any subsequent generation has , in the in-

e v i b i l i t y of progress , the
beneficence of technology , the
wisdom of established authority .
The generation went over the
top of the trenches , and off a kind
of spiritual cliff , at 7:30 a.m.,
Jul y 1, 1916.
In 1919, the reading public was
shocked by the title of the book:
The First World War. Surely
there would not be a second.
After the second , the world
understood the ruin wrought by
the first.
"Idealism published at the
Somme, " said A.P.J. Taylor.
And what produced this scorched social earth?
Artillery , bayonets , bullets . No
nuclear weapons were required ,
a fact worth pondering.
Former President Carter spoke
in his Inaugural Address of "the
elimination of all nuclear
weapons. "
President Reagan say s his
deepest desire is the elimination
of nuclear weapon's. That is a
mistaken desire .
To deter with conventional
forces the conventional forces of
the totally militarized Soviet

Union would require permanent
conscri ption of wealth (nuclear
weapons are relatively inexpensive) and young men on a scale
that no democracy has been willing to suffer other than in
wartime.
Recently, a U.S. senator was
musing on the difficulty of exp laining to college audiences why
nuclear weapons , althoug h now
not
too
numerous , are
indispensable.
The senator should say : If
nuclear weapons were abolished
tomorrow , male undergraduates
would find themselves headed not
for Salomon brothers and the
delights of investment banking ,
but to Army barracks on
Europe 's central front for the
low-pay ing trade of deterring
Soviet conventional forces.
"Conventional forces. " The
phrase has a soothing sound — until you remember what conventional force' s did J 70 years ago.
Nuclear weapons were not required. They are required today
for the prevention of battles as
ruinous as the Somme.

have gone off all over the town ,
and that everyone else was lost in
the same feeling of illiteracy I had
experienced. But I was emphatically wrong.
The overall level of functional
literacy in the United States is
both disgusting, and unacceptable. The problem of functional
illiteracy is not confined to a few
hundred thousand people, but is
measured now in tens of millions!
There are many theories as to the
causes of borderline literacy, and
an equal number of solutionssome feasible , others not so-but
the simple fact is that the problem
DOES exist and it is not confined to the High Schools.
Students should have a sound
mastery of English grammer long
before they get to be a university
student , and if they are weak in
that area , they should SURELY
have this mastery upon leaving
college. Is this happening?
Evidence is building that more
and more college students are
graduating with less than
desirable skills in these areas.
Union conversation is frightening
from the standpoint of public
speaking . Most conversation is
carried on with poor and overused vocabulary , most speech is
tending toward slurred incoherence, and many students are
unable to express themselves on
even the most trivial -subjects
without a barrage of "you
know ", "like", or anglo-saxon
monosyllables.
This set of bad habits is also
working its way into the formal
and informal writing of students.
To evidence this deterioration , I
would like to point out the following phrases , quoted directly and
not edited , that were written in a
letter I received from a
Graduating senior at BU:
"It not right. "
"Know body seems to... "
"...and talk to dean of the
Apartment. ''

These phrases were not written
in jest , nor were they written in
a hurried fashion. Included in
these letters were a large number
of sentence fragments , and an
almost equal number of run-ons
and misspellings. They are explicit examples of borderline
literacy in a college student. Maybe all of this doesn 't bother
you , but it bothers me. It is unthinkable that a university would
graduate this individual without
providing an opportunity for
special instruction. Of course,
one might argue that the person
might refuse help. I retu rn with
the argument that this individual
should not graduate. Students
who are awarded degrees should
be adept not only in english , but
in all other basic and essential
disciplines.
' ;
What this means to the student
in the Union is this: If people
lacking basic skills are allowed jto
slip through the system and are
awarded a degree, YOUR degree
is essentiall y weakened. A prospective employer will laugh at
this person , and in all likelihood
will not offer him/her employment. But the impression will remain: "That person was from
B.U. They must reall y hand
di plomas to anyone. " When the
next person from BU applies to
the same employer , the BU
degree will be in less regard !
The onl y thing that can be done
to stop this type of fiasco is to
speak out! You , as a student ,
have every ri ght to expect a quality education , and have every ri ght
to complain if you feel slighted
in this area. Easy "A' s" are nice,
and look good on the transcript ,
but they are worthless if everyone
elso gets an "A"!
Well , not to worry , the power
was returned about an hour later ,
and the electric-enslaved world
restarted itself once again. I just
wonder when the power will
return to BU...

It s lights out on literacy

Guest Columnist

Suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, the electricity went out.
Not that this in itself was earth
shaking , but I came to the realization that suddenly I was quite
alone.
Not having any electricity to
heat my morning cup of tea can
be excused , and being unable to
hear the morning news on the
radio is also not day-ruining
material , but what WAS horrifying was the blatent fact that my
computers simply would not
function with the power off!
As a by-product of the "Compute r Revolution ," many of us
have gotten an extreme
dependence on the computer.
There are an ever-shrinking
number of students who can
truthfull y say , "I've never used
a computer. " Not that this is bad ,
but as the lights dimmed into oblivion , some quasi-Doonesbury
thoughts flashed into my conscious mind. "My gosh , suddenly I'm illiterate!!"
Those of us who use our computers for everything from wordprocessing to number crunching
can sympathize with this feeling .
It 's the same horrible feeling as
an accounting major experiences
as their trusty calculator 's display
slowly fades into unreadibility
and is slowly replaced by a
screenful of zeros. No amount of
button pushing will solve the problem. The battery is dead , and the
final exam now looms even more
deadly than it did prior to the
Technolog ical Waterloo of the
dead battery .
Upon leaving my darkened
house, I arrived at the Kehr
Union for (hopefully) a hot cup
of coffee and a little morning conversation. Upon overhearing
some of the ever-shallow dribble
that generally is representative of
KUB conversation , I came to the
conclusion that the power must

Grant aimed at assisting
BU vocational teachers

Approximately 300 vocational
teachers from Northeast and Northcentral Pennsylvania will
receive first-hand knowledge
about microcomputers and their
applications in the classroom
through a $7,000 grant to
Bloomsburg University's Department of Business Education from
the Center for Professional Personnel Development at Penn
State.
The money is earmarked for
use in integrating technology into the business education curriculum, according to John Olivo,
chairman of the BU department
of business education. "We will
continue a commitment to sponsor workshops and seminars during February, April and June ,
1987, for vocational teachers in
the area of current technology , "
he said.
Viable, relevant vocational
instruction is dependent in part on
the teachers who are current in
the technological , teaching,
management and human relation
skills," Olivo said. "Colleges
and universities in Pennsylvania
share the responsibility for this
professional development. Their
commitment to inservice personnel development through istruc-

tion , research and development
and public service have been
significant."
Olivo said that most vocational
educators want to keep abreast of
the advancements in their field ,
and they attempt'todo so in varying degrees. He feels the
workshops and seminars will help
train or retrain teachers in new
and emerging technological
applications.
"Also , the workshops and
seminars will provide for exchange of information of vocational and business education

Midterm grades given
to selected students
by Imtiaz Ali Taj
Staff Writer

"Mid term grades have been
sent to selected students in their
respective post boxes. " Says Mr.
Kenneth D. Schnure the Registrar
of BU.
"These grades are not permanently recorded and they will
not appear on the transcripts. The
only purpose is to notify the
freshman level students that they
are achieving low level grades.
AH students still have the right
to request a progress report from
any instructor during the
semester. "
"MidSchnure
added ,
Semester grade reports are pro vided to those degree students
who have 32 or fewer credits
earned as of October 16, 1986.
Only D (minimum passing) or E
(failing) grades are going to be
reported . This has just gone into
effect for the First time. '' "

Ken Kirsch

What we have here is a classic
case of identity crisis. The guitar
licks of U2 and even Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath , some ineffective keyboard's and perhaps the
deadest vocal quality since Mark
Knopfler all combine on this incoherent effort to capitalize on the
recent wave of popularity of socalled "progressive " collegeoriented bands.
If this is progressive , or as the

stated , "the music our generation

The members of the (band?)
don 't even have the pride to put
their names on the album. Are
they afraid their mothers will see

so they 're probably safe .
"Sequence Line , " a real
lyrical masterpiece, stays within
the same lines as "Heaven. " —
"A hoo-ooo, A do-da-do-dadoo," definitel y words to live by

Producer Ken Kessie must've
really wracked his brain to find
the computer chip which contained the same gattling-gun dru m
kick used with painful repetition
on six of the nine tunes on the
album. The other three contain
slower versions of the same
piece, a major point of creativity
to Kessie's credit.
As seems to be the trend today ,
this new band opted to redo a
classic to gain audience recognition. Their cover job of Blondies '
"Call Me," is pointless-the song
sheds no new li g ht on the
ori g i n a l . It sounds more
suspiciousl y like a basic voiceover than a remake of the tune.

After enduring two years of
defaming remarks from nuns , an
inefficient education system marred by archaic practices , and an
overinflated tuition bill , I decided to transfer to BU from Alvernia College in Reading for the last
two years of my college career.
With two years of college
under my belt , I figured transferring to Bloomsburg would be as
easy as sleeping throug h a
political science lecture . Yeah ,
ri ght , and then I woke up.
The first notion that things
weren 't going to be as easy as I
had thought hit me when I learned that transfer housing on campus was almost impossible to acquire . Undaunted , I came to
Bloomsburg in June desperatel y
searching for an off-campus
apartment. I must 've gone to 20
different comp lexes , private
houses, and assorted rattraps with
no luck.
I eveifwent to a couple places
at the end of my trek that were
all girls and asked if I might stay
there until I became more familiar
with the campus and made some
male friends with whom I could
live. After I vowed the utmost
privacy and discreetness , they
still turned me down. I left

One day last November Scott ,
Tedo, Kim and I were at lunch
talking about the upcoming
Bloomsburg University championship football game in
Florence, Alabama. There was
one matter very different about
our college and our opponents.
We were 2000 miles from the
game site, they were zero miles
away . The team was Northern
Alabama University . Since we
were such die-hard fans we decided to take my car and find the way
ourselves. I had mentioned the
idea as a joke , but my friends
thought it was a great idea- a road
trip. Why not? It was my car.

A couple of miles laterBBRRUUMMTTBBRRUUMMTT came up again,
but worse. The steering went out
of control and then the brakes
failed. Since it was early in the
morning, there was nobody else
on the road. After getting the car
to stop halfway off the road , we
got out to check the scene. One
tire was out of whack , almost 90
degrees out of whack.
»
We were all in shock after seeing this and then I started to cry .
As morning broke , a policeman
came by. He told us there was a
garage nearby that was open 24
hours , so my poor red Nova got
towed away . The tow truck driver
shook his head , chuckling under

Before we left , Kim and I went
to the library to make copies of
maps of Tennessee, Alabama and
the eastern coast of the U.S. We
used our yellow highlighters to
show the route we were going to
take . How hard could it be to
follow the yellow brick road ,
especially when most of it was interstate highway?
On the day of our departure ,
we packed the car with all the
essentials: clothes, pillows , munchies , and a cooler filled with
Budweiser. We left at two on the
Friday before the game; plenty of

Rangers

From page 4
the Bloomsburg Ranger-team had
placed 12th in the state. The
Rangers learned a great deal from
the event, and because there were
no losers , the knowledge gained
became paramount.
The Rangers are now back in
training preparing for "Ranger
Shootout '88. " However , due to
lack of University funding and
support , the Rangers are limited
in what they can do to train.
Regardless, the Rangers will continue to move forward toward s
next year.

his breath .
The garage did not make things
any easier on us "yankees." We
had to wait for an hour till the
mechanic came to work. He looked at the wheel , but could do
nothing until the parts store opened an hour later. The mechanics
accent was so thick , it came out
sounding like Greek. They had to
repeat everything they said , not
that it sounded any clearer the second time around . One thing did
come out loud and clear , though;
the repair bill-$ 180. The bearings
in the front left tire were so dry
they had torn up the hub and
rotor. Our initial plans did not account for a major repair bill , and
neither did our finances.
Besides having to pay that hefty
sum , we had to stay in
Murfeesboro , Tennessee, for
hours waiting for the car to get
fixed . Since one can only look at
beautiful Tennessee spoons ,
ashtray s, plates and the like for
so long, we decided to find
something to do. Of course, the
garage was in a sparsel y
populated area with nothing
around except a diner across the
street. Our stomachs were growling and we were thirsty .
The supply of Bud and chips
did not meet our demand , so we
ventured over to the diner. Tedo ,

Parityraids:A thing of the past?
It was the fall semester of
1983, on a cool night at BU. I had
just made my way to the Kehr
Union after visiting an offcampus social function. Upon
passing the Union , I noticed
100-150 guys running toward
Columbia Hall with Bloomsburg
Security officers not far behind.
"Run awaaayyy!" they exclaimed. I followed.
The crowd ended up on the
lawn outside Columbia shouting,
"Give us your panties!" And
they came-the panties that is, drifting slowl y downward like tiny
parachutes only to be received by
a mob of hungry raiders.
I eventuall y ended up with a

Whatever happened to the annual panty raids celebrating each
fall semester's first Biology exam? The panty raid used to be an
exciting part of the semester for
fall freshmen. But in the past few
years, it seems that the eve of the
Biology exams passed with an

uneventful hush that has left the
panty raids far behind-so to
speak.
But the panty raids live!

justice.
So, what happened to this exciting extra-curricular activity of
Bloomsburg's college social life?
Do we need another panty raid ?
Who knows, but one must
remember that a panty raid was
more than just a ritual paying
homage to the semester 's first
Biology exam. It was a tradition
or more accurately an answer to
freshman anxiety .
Having moved off campus a
few years back , I can only hope
that the great "answer" to those
feelings of uncertainty will
prevail.
The uncertainty is what every
freshman goes through , and going crazy every once in a while
helps.
Crazy or not, I've come to the
conclusion that the tradition of
panty-raids-past could possibly be
an answer. Why? Well , it 's not
because the girls of Columbia
Hall once possessed nice panties.
No, it 's basically because the
raids were an answer to freshman
anxiety, boredom , and that everdreaded question that haunts our
very memory of ever being a
freshman- "What 's your major? "

always the adventurous type,
decided to try grits. We know
now why no one has brought the
recipe up north.
While we were eating, we
debated if we should still go to the
game, even though we would be
late. We figured , "What the hell ,
we're this far, we might as well ."
After returning to the garage to
pay the mechanic all the money
we could scrape together , we
started out again for N. A.U. The
car did not fail us, and we arrived eventually in Florence.
After shooting through the
parking lot like stars , we got to
the stands. It was half time
already and the score, 21-0 in
their favor, made us feel even
worse. During the break we
strenuously tried to find people
we knew to borrow money from.
It was rather hard considering we
were
2000
miles
from
Bloomsburg !

The massacre ended (who can
forget the score?). With much
pan handling and some creative
begging we got enough money to
get us as far as Tennessee. Since
we would need gas to get from
Nashville to home, we called the
toll-free number on my roommate 's Cashstream card to find
out where the nearest machine
was. We found one in Nashville
and withdrew money for the rest
of our trip. We all cheered when

the crisp dollar bills came out of
the machine (This made up for
our lack of cheering opportunities
at the game).
Leaving behind the Southern
accents, grits and Confederate
flags, we filled up the gas tank
and were on our way again . But
our tribulations were not over.
Stopping at the wonderful rest
areas on our way home was even
more of a disaster. At one, my
roomy spilled a full cooler of
melted ice, so we had to clean
that up. After leaving there and
driving for five hours and several
hundred miles, I realized I had
forgotten my new Brooks
sneakers back at the rest stop.
Some lucky grits chef now had a
new pair of sneakers to sport
around the kitchen.
We were too tired to driv e
through the night so we stayed in
a motel. The place, in Kingsport
Tennessee, was actually pretty
nice. It gave us a chance to relax
and reflect on our exhilirating
weekend . One thing we all
definitely agreed on-it was bad ,
really bad. We all crashed out
then to get some rest for the trip
ahead .
We started out early the next
morning so we could get back to
BU at a decent hour. To our relief
we made it to Bloomsburg okay
and pulled in front of the guys '
house. This had been the worst
weekend of our lives, by far.

Talk persists that NBC will announce layoffs by the end of next
week. Our sources indicate that
the across-the-board cuts could
number in the "low hundreds "
but , said one executive, "it will
be nothing like at the other networks."
The executive said the cuts
have nothing to do with the new
General Electric management and
are the result of the "functional
analysis " insistuted by former
NBC chairman Grant Tinker last
summer.
As we've reported , last week
NBC News president Larry
Grossman offered a voluntary
early retirement plan for some 50
eligible news writers if they
choose to exercise it.
Meanwhile, out in Laguna
Niguel , Calif. , it 's apparently a
love feast between the new NBC
president , Robert C. Wright , and
the NBC affiliates board.
Wright addressed the board
Tuesday , stressing the need for a
"constructive dialogue" between
the network and its 200-plus affiliates , saying the relationship
was "sacrosanct. " With talk of
network compensation and possible budget cuts for the News division and Entertainment in the air ,
he promised the new management
would sit down together with affiliates regarding all important
issues.
Speaking of Compensation... You might recall that last
summer ABC's new Capital
Cities management broached the

idea of cutting compensation; the
annual fee the network pays an
affiliate station for carrying its
programs for its money-losing
Monday Night Football .
A compromise was reached ,
compensation was reduced slightly but the amount of local station
commercial time was increased
for an NFL broadcast, but a major compensation reduction plan
has been on the front burneP at
ABC ever since. (Networks
privately feel it's absurd to pay
stations to carry the 18 hours of
fresh programming they deliver
daily, which up front gives their
affiliates a profitable competitive
edge over independent rivals) .
The network faces a loss of $60
million this year , despite major
in-house budget cuts, including
the elimination of 1200 jobs .
Last week, John B. Sias, president of ABC , told the affiliates
advisor board in Chicago that the
network ws considering a 5 percent reduction in compensation
starting as early as January, with
a goal of a 25 percent reduction
over the next five years.
Special programming, like a
widely viewed Academy Awards
broadcast , or the upcoming
miniseries "Amerika," would be
the initial targets (the idea is not
entirely new; ABC, for instance,
reduced payments to stations during the costly 1984 Olympics).
No action was taken on Sias'
suggestion, but expect it to be a
prime topic when the ABC affiliates board of governors meets
in Tuscon the first week

From page 4
found it.
The place turned out nice
enough. A kinda flying insect
sancturary or something. So after
successfully debugging ala Lysol
torch I began bringing my life in
the front door.
All was well , if you consider
breaking all four legs off a living
room chair a blessing,(I now have
a legless, ground-level Jamaican
lounge chair) and so the move-in
was complete.
All that remained to be done
was the unpacking, decorating,
and bed assembly, as the place
was unfurnished . So I decorated ,
and unpacked and made myself
some semblance (lebanon
bologna and grapejelly sandwich
and Coke) of a meal, a horrible
prelude to what would become a
hellish succession of nauseating

"home croaked meals.
As the sun went down and
night approached , I was not yet
done with some of the necessary
moving-in duties , I realized I
hadn't brought a lamp. It got
dark . It got very dark . I got very
scared. I could wait no longer , I
broke down and asked the
neighbors where the storage
closet was.
I found an antique lamp in a
dusty corner amidst abandoned
bed parts and took it up to my
place. Then it dawned on me I
had neglected to bring lightbulbs.
I screamed the tires on my car
and took off for the local convenience store. I sighed in relief as
I returned with the precious
bulbs. I screwed the bulb in, turned the lamp on, said "Gee, isn 't
that nice?" turned the lamp off
and went to sleep. For a really
long time .

Defense key to success
bv Mike Mullen
by
Sports Editor

In what will be his first year as
Husky head coach , Joe Bressi is
pleased at the potential he
possesses .
Coming to Bloomsburg after
compiling a 237-43 record at
perennial
Pennsylvania
powerhouse Bishop McDevitt
High School , Bressi inherits a
team that has not had a winning
season in the past few years.
"Our main goal of this season
is to have a winning season ,"
Bressi said. With his numbers it
seems he expects nothing less.
The team onl y lost one senior
to graduation but it was Jean
Millen and the loss may be felt.
In what wasn 't his recruiting
class , due to his appointment in
mid-August, Bressi said that he

•r

is pleased with the freshman.
Despite not being his recruiting
class, due to his appointment in
mid-August, Bressi is happy with
his freshman . "They all are
good ," he said , "in fact , Kathy
DeLullo will probably get alot of
playing time at the wing position. "
Senior Lori Pisco and freshman
Linda Steele are both out three to
four weeks due t« knee injuries ,
but although it hurts their depth ,
Bressi said ,"We aren 't going to
rush them back , we'll make sure
their healthy first. "
The two senior co-captions ,
Sue Kocher and Linda King, will
have the responsibility of leading
the team on the floor , while
Theresa Lorenzi , leading scorer
last year as a freshman at 16
points a game, will provide most

of the offensive punch.
The center and three year
starter, 6-1 Amy Wolf , will add
height and rebounding ability to
the team .
Rounding out the starting five
will either be Pam Bressi or Carla
Shearer , both juniors . They will
be competing for the point guard
spot , but both will contribute
despite who eventually lands the
starting job
Bressi certainly feels that his
club can run the floor well as is
evidenced in their scrimmages.
He hopes they can start to play
a better man to man defense
before they open up their
schedule , but says he feels confident of their chances in the
league.
"Being a new coach I'll need
some time to see who the better

teams are and how to play them ,
but I hope that our system of
changing defenses will cause
some mix-up in the league,"
Bressi stated.
' 'The Eastern Conference will
be balanced. Nobody will blow
anybody out , they should all be
close games. I won't look for any
easy games but I won 't doubt are
chances either. "
When asked whether there was
a paticular player to watch, Bressi
balked at an immediate answer.
' 'Everybody asks me to single
out Theresa (Lorenzi), but it 's a
team game. We have got good
guards and good inside people.
We ju st need to put it together.
If we stay healthy we will be a
very , very good basketball
team. "

The bottom line:Ban footb all
by Scott Ostler

LA Times-Washington Post Service

The doctor who sawed and
sewed on Joe Montana 's back
two months ago said the other day
that Montana was crazy to be
play ing football again. The doctor added , in effect , that anyone
who plays football is crazy.
That came as no news flash to
the 1200 current members of National Football League clubs.
Nobod y is really sure what
motivates a person to volunteer
each Sunday for partici pation in
the loosely organized gang rumble known as a pro football game.
But scientists are pretty sure the
determining factor has nothing to
do with logic or sound reasoning,
or a careful study of actuarial
tables.
Injury risk-wise, you 're better
off riding a motorized skateboard
on the freeway , without
kneepads.
Discussing the Montana case
around the offteg"Motiday " mb'rning, two Los- Angeles Times
sports staffers mentioned that
maybe it 's time to ban football.
The players are growing too big,
the injuries are becoming too frequent and too gruesome.
Now , two guys-even two
literate and knowledgeable
fellows as these-expressing an
opinion doesn 't exactly constitute
a national grass-roots movement
to stamp out the sport , but both

those people are football fans ,
and one is a football writer.
The idea of banning football is
ridiculous , of course. It would be
easier to ban sex , if only because
as a sport , sex does not lend itself
well to wagering.
Besides , the American attitude
toward football is a lot like the old
German attitude toward war, that
it is the hi ghest expression of
man.
"That war should ever be
banished from the world is a hope
not only absurd , but profoundly
immoral , " said Heinrich von
Treitschke, a University of Berlin
professor , late in the 19th century . "It would involve the
atrophy of many of the essential
and sublime forces of the human
soul. "
Lyle Alzado couldn 't have said
it better.
The problem is that while we
are constantly striving to limit the
scope of war 's potential human
destruction , we are going in the
opposite' direction in ~Fo6tba.lL'We
are steadily building larger
players and more dangerous
fields for them to play on. We
like to watch huge guys smack
one another around and break
things.
If they happen to blow out
knees and necks and spleens and
an occasional spinal column in the
process, hey, that 's show biz. Exit stretcher crew. Enter next
gladiator.

Who 's to blame , and what can
be done? Answers: Pete Rozelle ,
and plenty .
As pointed out by pro football
writer Paul Zimmerman in Sports
Illustrated , the NFL has made little or no effort to limit the spread
of , among other evils , artificial
turf and artificial muscles.
The artifical muscles are built
by steroids. Los Angeles Times
staff writer John Weyler wrote
several weeks ago that an NFL
player phoned Rozelle during the
recent offseason and pleaded with
the commissioner to institute
steroid testing. According to the
player , Bill Fralic of the Atlanta
Falcons , Rozelle said that he'd
only now become aware of the
problem.
Quickly, someone please alert
Rozelle to the potential dangers
of cigarette smoking and
hydrogen dirigible travel
A former NFL lineman I know
tells me steroids are a bigger problem in pro football than cocaine.
By artificially inflating their
bodies , a very widespread practice, players risk long-term health
problems , to themselves, and to
the people with whom they collide on the football field.
The same ex-lineman thinks
that the NFL has cracked down
hard on cocaine because coke is
glamerous. Coke makes a real
nice crusade, winning the admiration and support of the public . A
wonderfu l public relations

campaign.
Rozelle could stamp out steroid
use by supper time tonight if he
chose to do so. Who would support the move? Every player who
has been driven to steroid use in
order to keep up with the Joneses.
Who would oppose the move?
Every player whose football
career depends upon chemically
enhanced size and strength.
Maybe it would be terribl y unfair , but by banning steroids ,
what we would be doing would
be rewarding athletic ability and
hard work .
Unlike cocaine testing, which
is considered by many athletes to
be dehumanizing, steroid testing
would be re-humanizing.
While we're at it , it might even
be a good idea to slap a weight
limit on NFL players. About 260
pounds should do it. If steroids
are banned , most of the league's
bloated monsters will shrivel up
to about that size anyway .
I don 't want to sissify the
league, but even bullfi ghting has
rules to limit-the gore and pain of
its larger partici pants.
The 300-pound lineman is currently in vogue in the NFL. If
nothing is done, the 400-pounder,
with 4.5 speed , is just around the
corner. Soon the playing fields
will have to be widened , and so
will the stretchers.
Time to act , Pete . A lot of
crazy guys are counting on you .

Buffalo upsets Miami, Chiefs win
Well football fans, I promised
and I delivered. Not only did the
Saints and Browns come through
with wins, but after finishing two
weeks ago in the basement , I
redeemed myself with a 10-4
mark that took top honors . Jeff
and Jaime tied for second place
with identical 8-6 marks .
For the year, my record improved to 71-40 for an overall
percentage of .640.
Week 11 finds some key division games for some teams, making the picking rough. For many
teams, this weekend's game will
probably decide their chances for
post-season play. Such games are
the
Browns-Raiders ,
the
Cowboys-Chargers, and the
49ers-Redskins.
As always, I have to have at
least a couple upset specials , so
here goes. No, the Colts won 't
beat the Jets, (or any other team
this year for that matter), but
watch for the Browns to knock
off the Raiders and the Chiefs to
scalp the Broncos on the road.
Now for Week 11:
Chicago 28 Atlanta 14
The Bears snapped back from
a couple of tough losses and overwhelmed the hapless Buccaneers.
The Falcons were manhandled by
die Jets, and seem to have lost
that mag ic touch they had at the
beginning of the year.
Philadelphia 20 Detroit 6
The Eag les almost came back
against the Giants before dropping a toug h 3-point loss. Detroit
hasn't done anything this year.
Pittsburg h 21 Houston 7
This is a must-win game for the
Steelers , who have their backs
against the wall. Warren Moon
won't throw well in the cold in
Pittsburgh.

Dave Sauter

Buffalo 24 Miami 23
Some people are going to hate
me for this , but I've just got this
feeling. Look for the Bills to win
again for their new coach and the
Dolphins to lose again for their
old coach.
N.Y. Giants 30 Minnesota 21
Watch the Giants to open up a
big lead and then watch it almost
slip away in the end. Kramer
should have a good day for the
Vikes , but Joe Morris will have
a better one for the Giants.
New Orleans 14 St. Louis 0
The Saints will record their second shutout m a row and continue their dominating form in the
second half of the season . They
still have a good chance for a
p layoff berth.
Seattle 20 Cincinnati 12
The Seahawks have been losing a lot lately, but to quality
competition. The Bengals have
been losing to the likes of the
Steelers (3-7 overall) and the
Oilers (2-8 overall). The Bengals
will give some confidence back
to Seattle.
Green Bay 21 Tampa Bay 17
The cold weather in Green Bay
will aid the Packers in their se-

cond win of the season against the
cold-blooded Buccaneers.
New England 17 L.A. Rams 16
The Rams are down after losing to the Saints while the Patriots
are confident after their blowout
of Indianapolis. Eric Dickerson
will probably break a couple long
runs , but the Pat defense will
stand tall in the end.
Kansas City 21 Denver 14
The Chiefs are on a roll that
will not end this week in Denver.
The Broncos , meanwhile, will
still not have recovered from their
shocking performance last week.
N.Y. Jets 48 Indianapolis 7
This should be one of the biggest blowouts of the year. The
Colts are well on their way to the
number one draft pick while the
Jets could be in line for the last
one,(you all know what that
means!).
Dallas 31 San Diego 14
I'm dying to pick the Chargers
and the upset, but Tom Landry
knows the importance of this
game and won 't let it slip away .
The Cowboys end their losing
streak , but now is it too late?
Cleveland 22 L.A. Raiders 16
The Browns looked tough
against the Dolphins and are probably on their way to a division
title. The Raiders season looks
virtually over now .
San Francisco 28 Redskins 27
I know the Redskins are 8-2
and playing at home, and under
normal conditions I would go
with them. But I just feel Joe
Montana has given new life to the
49ers that will spark them to victory. This should be the best
Monday night game of the year.
JEFF COX:
Things are getting a little tough
around here. After another ugly

8-6 week, my overall record slips
to 74-38 for a .66 1 percentage.
The division races keep getting
tighter and tighter , and this week
will be make or break several
teams.
And now , to this week's
games:
Chicago 23
Atlanta 21
Philadelphia 20
Detroit 14
Houston 24
Pittsburgh 13
Buffalo 28
Miami 27
Minnesota 30..N.Y. Giants 26

Indianapolis 7
Dallas 31
San Diego 21
L.A. Raiders 23 .Cleveland 17
Washington 28. San Francisco 27

JAIME HORLACHER:
Last weekend found Jaime slipping from first place to last place
with a mediocre 8-6 mark which
in turn dropped his overall mark
to 64-34 for a .653 percentage.
He still remains in second place.
But that didn 't discourage him
as I'm sure he will bounce back
past Jeff (but not me!) with these
picks, which include the Vikings
stunning the Giants.

Swimming and diving teams ready

Women 's
team has
depth
Quality depth appears to be one
of the Bloomsburg University
women 's swimming and diving
team 's biggest assets as the
Huskies prepare for the upcoming campai gn under new head
coach Dave Rider.
Rider enters his first year as
director of aquatics at the school
after serving as head coach at
Norwin Hi gh School for the past
eight years . In addition to the
women 's team , he also serves as
the men 's coach. He has been
pleased with his squad in the
strenuous dail y workouts prior to
the season-opening Bloomsburg
Invitational on Nov. 15.
"We
won ' t have any
superstars , but overall we have
quite a few good sound swimmers ," he commented. "The
new emphasis on depth in the
dual meets changes the whole
complexion of the season. Now
the scoring system rewards quality depth as opposed to allowing
a lew swimmers to dictate the
outcome.
A pair of 1986 national
qualifiers will be counted on in
severa l events this season for the
Huskies. Junior Beth Roeder
earned AU-American honors in
1985 and returned to the national
meet a year ago . She finished
third in both the 100 and 200-yard

Men 's team needs
f rosh contribution

Heading
the group of
newcomers are Debby Legg and
Kim Youndt who will .specialize
in the backstroke , and Karen
Pfistcrer , a sprint freesty ler.
Youndt and Pflsterer will also
swim individuall y in the butterfly, while Legg will race in the
backstroke.
Kathy Moyer is listed in the
distance freesty le and butterfl y
but is a good all-around performer who has registered competitive times in several events .
Joining Moyer in the distance
events will be Amy Groome.
Another of the 11 freshmen listed
on the roster , Pam Boland , will
be in the backstroke.

Overcoming a severe lack of
depth will be the bi ggest obstacle
facing the Bloomsburg University 's men 's swimming and diving
team as the Huskies prepare for
the
upcoming
1986-1987
campaign.
First-year head coach Dave
Rider is working with a small ,
young group of performers but
remains optimistic. "There are
no seniors on the team , so the
future looks good. Right now
numbers rather than ability are
the major problem. "
The 12-member squad is
preparing for the season-opening
Bloomsburg Invitational and a 10
dual-match slate that leads to the
Pennsylvania Conference Championships on Feb. 26-28.
Junior John Schneider is the
lone returning conference
placewinner from a year ago. He
placed ninth in the 200-yard
breaststroke last year in the PC
Championshi ps.
The Huskies' relay teams fared
well in the PC event , tu rning in
their best times of the s'eason , and
several members of those units
return.
A pair of juniors , Jerry Shantillo and Mark Koenig, along with
sophomores Jack Carr , Todd
McAllister , and Dave Seton will
compete in multi ple events for
Bloomsburg. Shantillo , Carr , and
McAllister were members of
BU' s 400 and 800-yard frestyle
relays. Koenig and Seton made

up half of the 400-yard medley
relay team.
The distance freesty le events
will be manned by Shantillo and
McAllister, while Carr will be used primarily as a sprinter. He will
also, most likely , swim in the butterfl y along with Koenig, the
team 's lone true butterflier.
Seton 's specialty is the
breaststroke where he 'll join
Schneider and veteran Ed
McElhiney , a junior.
Freshmen will play a huge role
in the team 's success, and due to
the lack of depth , will be forced
to contribute immediately .
Jeff Kratz is the top newcomer
and will concentrate primarily on
the freestyle races as will Tim
Norton. Another talented firstyear performer , Bob Potter ,
should help the Huskies in the
backstroke as well as some of the
freestyle races.
Scott Zoufaly can compete in
a variety of events and will add
much-needed depth to the squad.
Freshman Jeff Faull will be the
lone competitor in the one and
three-meter diving events for the
squad .
"We will get better as the
season progresses ," said Rider.
"The results may be somewhat
deceiving because of the severe
lack of depth , but these guys are
working extremely hard right
now. If it continues , some good
things are going to happen for
us. "

Bloomsburg University will
end its 1986 football campaign
this Saturday when the Huskies
travel to Norfolk State. The contest is set for the astroturf in the
Spartan 's Foreman Field at 1:30
p.m.
The Huskies have enjoyed a
good season under first-year head

coach Pete Adrian and stand at
6-2- 1 entering Saturday 's contest.
Veteran coach Willard Bailey 's
Norfolk State club has fallen on
hard times in recent contests ,
dropping its last .four outings to
fall to 4-5.
At one time during the season ,
both teams were rated as high as

ninth in the NCAA's Division II
rankings.
Despite the efforts of Tom
Matin , who rushed for 177 yards
on 38 carries , Bloomsburg 's offense struggled last weekend as
the Huskies were held to a 7-7 tie
with visting Kutztown.

records in both races. Roeder can
also compete in the individual
medleys , freestyle , and as a
member of BU' s relay units .
Sophomore Carol Gurniak
established two school records in
her initial season with the
Huskies. She set new standards
in the 100 and 200-yard
breaststroke races. Gurniak is the
lone experienced competitor in
the breaststroke events. She and
Roeder were also members of
two national-qualifying relay
teams.
The lone senior on the roster.

Connie Maximo will serve as one
of the team co-captains and compete in the backstroke and
freestyle. A year ago she placed
in both the 200 backstroke and the
1650 freesty le at the conference
championshi ps.
Juniors Kirsten Leininger and
Deirdre Kase the other cocaptain , return with experience in
severa l events and should contribute heavil y this season. Leininger will race in the sprint
freesty les , and Kase will concentrate on the breaststroke and individual medley . Last season both
competitors placed in the multip le

BU National Champ ionship

Ultimate goal is within reach
by Imtiaz Ah Taj
Staff Writer

The Bloomsburg University
field hockey team left BU yesterday to play in the NCAA Division III National Finals. The
Huskies will face Trenton State
on their astroturf field at 2 p.m.
tomorrow in the semifinals.
The other semifinal match will
be p layed at noon between
Bentley College, the Notheast
Reg ional Champion who is 16- 1,
and Salibury State , the South
Reg ional Champ ion which currentl y stands undefeated at 19-0.
The national final and consolation matches are scheduled for 2
p.m. and noon respectively on
Saturday , Nov. 15.
"It 's a tossup, " says Coach
Hutchinson. "Any one of the
four teams can win. For us , it
depends on how soon we can adjust to the turf. "
"Trenton State is a good team .
They are the Mid-Atlantic

Regional Champions and their
record is 23-2. Last year they
beat us , while the year before we
beat them. Both teams are strong
in corners and stickwork. It (the
match) depends on whose corners
work better. "
This will be the seventh
meeting between Bloomsburg and
Trenton State, both teams having
won three games against each
other. In 1984 on astroturf , the
Huskies defeated Trenton State in
the National Semifinals, and later
captured the crown. Last year at
Drew University in New Jersey ,
the Lions defeated the Huskies by
a 1-0 caount , that game being
played on natural grass.
Trenton State has only lost two
games at home since astroturf
was installed in 1984. One of the
winning teams was BU in 1984.
The Huskies have only played
one game on astroturf this season ,
which they won by a 4-3 count
against Elizabethtown College
last Sunday .

BU , with a current ledger of
18-2-2 , enters the final tournament with high expectations and
confidence of winning it all.
"We are g lad that the game is
on turf because it is a lot faster ,"
says Lori Guitson , BU' s senior
goalkeeper. "Two years back we
won the tournament on it. We are
expecting a repeat of it. "
Guitson is enjoy ing a banner
year , having recorded 77 saves
while allowing only 17 goals and
shutting out nine opponents.
Assistant Coach Sharon
O'Keefe also has the same kind
of enthusiasm. She said, "We are
at our peak . The last couple of
games have exemplified it. "
Donna Graupp , before leaving
for Trenton , said , "I am very excited to be playing. We have a
good shot. This is my fourth and
last year with the team. I was a
member of the 1983 and 1984
championship teams. But the win
in this tournament will mean a

Monday afternoon marked the
conclusion of the Fall session of
the co-ed-intramural volleyball
tournament in Centennial Gym.
Nineteen teams competed in
the almost month long competition in three leagues. The winners
of each league then met in the
champ ionshi p.
All three winners finished
undefeated in their league.
League 'A' was won by Team 2 ,
(Sesame and M&G), cocaptained by Kim Nickey and Ed

Smith . League 'B' was won by
Team 8, (Off-campus), captained by Laura Kothe. League 'C
was conquered by Team 15,

Rachel Schrawder and Jeff
Motze.
In the first round of the finals,
Team 8 dropped the first game to
Team 2 , but regained their composure to come back and win
3-10, 12-5, and 10-5:
The second round found Team
15 facing Team 2 , where they
handed them their second defeat
and third place overall in the tournament , 5-8, 10-8, and 10-5.

This set up the championship
match between Team 8 and Team
15. In a hard-fought match, Team
15 came away with fi rst place and
campus bragg ing rights with a
12-4, 6-9, and 14-3 victory .
