Off-campus offenses lead to on-campus punishment by Tom Sink Staff Writer Hearings at Bloomsburg University to determine disci p linary action against students who have violated civil laws and/or BU' s code of conduct are not criminal hearings , and thus do not duplicate the functions of general laws, according to Assistant Vice President and Dean of Student Life Robert Norton. According to Norton , BU falls under double jurisdiction. "Because BU is a community within a community , the student body is required to abide by the code of conduct of BU and the penal codes of Bloomsburg , " Norton said. Norton added that for a hearing to be called, the university needs only reasonable cause. "Because the hearing is not a criminal hearing, only reasonable cause is needed and not probable cause ," Norto n said. Black 's Law Dictionary defines reasonable cause "as basis for arrest without warrant , is such state of facts as would lead man of ordinary care and prudence to believe and conscientiously entertain honest and strong suspicion that person sought to be arrested is guilty of crime. " Probable cause is defined as "an apparent state of facts found to exist upon reasonable inquiry... which would - induce a reasonably intelli gent and prudent man to believe , in a criminal case , that the accused person had committed the crime charged. " According to the Campus Judicial Board (CJB) Procedures for 1986-87 , "The defendant shall then be reminded of the charges for which he/she is brought before the board and ask- ed to present his/her view of the incident briefl y and objectively. " Norton added that should the defendant not answer the questions regarding the incident , the evidence and testimony broug ht against him will determine his guilt. Robert Norton According to attorney Jeffery Mill , if the hearing on campus is held before the hearing in the District Mag istrate 's office , evidence and testimonies from the university 's hearing can be used in the District Mag istrate's court . Hill is a former public defender and said lie has had experience with BU' s hearing procedures. "I think it is an unfair proceeding, " Hill said. "It 's a fine system when it pertains only to college violations. " He added that when charges filed by the civil authorities are involved , the system does not work. . . . Norton said , "Any findings of the hearing (on-campus) are confidential , unless subpoenaed by a hi gher court . " He added it is his understanding that anything said in the pn-campus hearing is hearsay off-campus. Norton said that should the defendant have a lawyer or advisor present , this individual is AIDS viruses may not be detectable by Adrian Peracchio LA Times-Washington Post Service Mutations of the AIDS virus that can filter undetected through conventional blood screening are spreading through Africa , and one of the new variants , judged to be as deadly as the original strain , has begun to appear in Europe. The discovery is raising concern among researchers engaged in developing an effective vaccine against AIDS and may bring new political pressure to bear on governments to find better tests to screen the blood supply. Scientists in Sweden and France have identified variations of the AIDS virus in patients who have come there from West Africa , where AIDS, the wasting disease known locally as "Slim ," is now endemic. Neither strain has been detected in the United States. One of the viral mutations , identified at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden , varies slightly from the HTLV-3 virus originally identified as the cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The other mutation was discovered by the Pasteur Institute . Montagnier and Dr. Robert Gallo , head of the tumor cell biology laboratory at the National Cancer Institute in Washington , are credited independently with identify ing the AIDS virus in 1983. Gallo and Montagnier , in New York earlier this week to accept the Albert Lasker research award , said that the tests used to screen the blood supply and to identif y AIDS carriers cannot detect the new French-discovered variant , nor can it identify the Swedish-discovered mutation in about one-third of the cases . "What we need is to think of one blood test that would do it all ," Gallo said. Scientists said the tests in use internationall y may be able to detect some of the cases of the new AIDS viruses because of their similarity to the original strain. But in some AIDS cases, they said , antibodies uni que to parts of the two new viruses may have developed that would defeat conventional screening . Researchers working for the Porton International biomedical group in Africa have told British colleagues they have identified an additional mutation of the virus in patients with full y developed symptoms of AIDS but in whom blood tests find no trace of the HTLV-3 virus. The researchers refused to identif y the African nation because they fear negative publicity would lead local authorities to block their research. "We don 't want to spread panic , " said an AIDS researcher working with the British government. "There is no sign of the new variants in Britain or the United States. But this is becoming a real worry . We knew there could be mutations. It just makes it that much harder to come up with a vaccine and effective screening techniques. " See page s not allowed to cross-examine witnesses against the defendant. James W. Percey , an associate professor of political science, at BU , said he cross-examined the accuser 's witnesses in hearings at Bloomsburg State College wnile acting as faculty advisor to defendants. Percey added that Norton told him since the hearings on campus are not 'criminal hearings , cross-examination of accuser 's witnesses by the defendant 's advisor or lawyer would no longer be permissible. According to CJB Procedures for 1986-87 , "The members of the board and the board advisor shall be permitted to ask questions of both parties (accuser and defendant) and any witnesses presented by the defendant.

The SGA called the actions of Dr. Vincent Taiani , a member of the IUP Management/Marketing Department , "unethical " and requested that the university 's president and faculty union stop this type of p r o f i t - m a k i n g venture . According to the release , the 100 page manuscri pt sold in the bookstore f or $27.50; Taiani sold it to the store for $22. Taiani argues that his actions are not unethical and asserts that other faculty members are engaged in the same practice. Steve Keller , an SGA member , believes the manuscri pt is pro duced at no more than $7 per copy and estimates Taiani made $4000 off of the 1986 fall semester sale of the manuscript.

The materials , 8 published and 18 dup licated at Waller Administration Buildin g, range in price from $.60 to $23.70. Professors make no money on the dup licated materials and they arc-sold-at cost to the University Store , said William Bailey, manager of the store . Bailey added there is a profit made by professors when their publishers sell their books to the store , but he was uncertain as to how much is made. If sold throug h a publishing company, it is unlikel y that the professors will become rich , Strauss said. "The most nebulous situation is this idea of academic freedom , " said Dr. Daniel C. Pantaleo , interim provost and vice president for Academic Affairs , regarding the issue of who determines whether a text or material is appropriate for class use. The current policy that determines who chooses the text for a particular course gives the professor teaching the course total responsibility in most cases , according to Pantaleo. He added there is no official procedure for text selection . "In the past , especially in the case of multi-section courses , the department (English) chose one book or a group fro m which in- dividual professors could choose , " Strauss said. He added he sees nothing unethical about professors using their own material as long as it is appropriate to the course. Strauss said it makes sense for professors to use their own materials because each professor has an individual way of teaching a course. Pantaleo said there is really no system of checks and balances , but added when a professor behaves inappropriately , both students and faculty are able to express their concerns. He added that students may express them to the Academic Grievance Committee and professors can approach the Ethics and Standards Committee. by Michael Wines produced the most damaging controversy of his six-year presidency without realizing that the wheels had been set in motion through what may have been an unauthorized signal to Israel that he did not know about at the time and had explicitly rejected. Some three months after Weir's release by pro-Iranian terrorists in Lebanon on Jan. 17, 1986, sources said , Reagan gave final approval for establishing the U.S. - Iran arms pipeline at a White House meeting from which the most persistent critic of such overtures to Iran , Secretary of State George P. Shultz , had been deliberately excluded . Of the four Reagan advisers present at the January meeting, National Security Adviser John M. Poindexter , White House Chief of Staff Donald T. Regan , CIA director William J. Casey and Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger , onl y Weinberger voted against proceeding with the U.S. shipments, the sources said . The sources , interviewed by the Times this week, had intimate knowledge of the White House negotiations. They insisted on anonymity because of the extreme sensitivity of the subject. One said that word of the unauthorized Israeli shipment , which only recently began to seep out from a tight circle of Wh ite House officials, could trigger a "revolt " within the administration , from the State Department to the White House itself. "This is about as serious a situation as I have ever seen ," one government source said of the disclosures. "There are a lot of people , and I mean a lot of people, who hope desperately that this (news) will get out. " See page 3 Reagan was not aware of first shipment to Iran LA Times-Washington Post Service President Reagan was not informed of and did not approve the first shi pment of U.S. -made weapons and spare parts that Israel delivered to Iran in August 1985, the shipment that set in motion the administration 's controversial arms-and-hostages operation , government officials have told the Los Angeles Times. To the contrary , those sources said , Reagan explicitl y rejected a proposal for Israel to ship arms to Iran when it was first presented to him in August 1985 in a closed meeting of top White House advisers . But without Reagan s knowledge , such an Israeli shipment was sent to Iran. And , when it-was followed a few weeks later by the release of American hostage Benjamin Weir , White House aides used the successful swap to persuade Reagan to reverse himself and approve direct arms shipments by the United States. It could not be definitively established whether Israel , despite Reagan 's initial rejection of the plan , received a signal from somewhere in the White House to go ahead with the August 1985 arms shipment. But senior Israeli officials. while not directly admitting a role in any arms shipments , have sworn publicly that they sent no weapons to Iran without highlevel White House approval.

Commentary Features Classifieds Sports page page page page 2 4 5 6 The 'objectivity' argument There is no need to fight Objectivity is an often debated topic among both the critics and advocates of journalism and its techniques. A demand of objectivity is often thrust upon the shoulders of college students who wish to be journalists. The need to 'set aside personal views ' and 'report the events objectivel y ' is preached to soon-to-be reporters as they sit in the classroom. Objectivity, truthfull y , is about as applicable to journalism as the view of the Supreme Court justices in Washington being holy seekers of wisdom who dwell in small , book laden cubicles and occasionally venture forth to make a decision. They arc peop le, as are reporters. A common attribute of people is opinion. Everybody has one. This often puts reporters covering a difficult story in a compromising position. Should the story involve definite viewpoints that look at one another across great distances , the reporter could find it hard to be neutral. The common misconception is that such a neutrality is required. The need for objectivity only holds true as far as the product is concerned. As long as the story is fair to both sides and lends equal comment to both with regard s to the top ic , then the reporter is usuall y safe. There can be no malice , however, toward one or both sides of a story . The second it is suspected that a reporter was out to get somebody , ' grounds for suit exist. This past Wednesday, three members of The Voice staff were guests on WBUQ's Night Talk with William Acierno. The conversation revolved around the paper and 'objectivity ' was one of the issues discussed. It was agreed that though objectivity is the goal , however impossible to reach , fairness is the only thing that can be guarenteed. Being human and lacking any robotic qualities , it is hard to see how the 'objectivity ' argument continues. Personal views cannot be set aside. Opinions and emotions are part of being human. There are no Vulcans in our midst. 'Numbers of Success' When addition doesn't work Editor: His long, grey-brown beard , ruffled , balding head, and worntoo-often brown jacket , corduroy trousers , and green scarf could not overshadow the excitement in his eyes when he spoke of Socrates. Back and fort h , he paced the classroom. Writing madl y with one hand and erasing with the other , lie gained more and more momentum as the class drew to an end. The pup ils impatientl y packed away their books, yet he lectured horridl y on. Finall y, alter five minutes past the official end of class , they were freed. I hung out and spoke with him after class and have since. We often get into some pretty interesting conversations about moral theories, environmental problems, politics , and sundry other top ics. He has a good deal to say and makes a lot of sense to those who are willing to take the time and listen. Wc often speak of issues pertinent to responsible , every-day living. Unfortunatel y , a good many of the students at this institution would rather try and figure out (as if they ' re reallv figurine out anything) how to live in the future . They may not like things now , but they believe when they graduate they 'll have hi gh pay ing jobs. They 'll be really happy then , they reason, and all the drud gery of going to class in- this boring, but profitable major will have paid off. After all, money can buy anything, ri ght? The other day , I was in the union with my girlfriend and we overheard a conversation going on among four female BU students. They were holding an in-depth discussion about GPA' s. Not about the validity of having a grading system , what it really reflects , or the failure of the educational institution , but about how "Susy got a 3.6 , but I got a 3.8" and "If I get a 3.4 next semester , I'll graduate with a " whatever. The conversation went on in this vein for a good ten minutes. And then the job offers part of the conversation rolled around . And guess what the criteria for the most successful offer was? You got it—the hi ghest salary . One was offered $25 ,500. Wow! What a success she is! That 's even better than a report card Some traditional fun Panty raids remain Editor: I was very disappointed when I read Panty Raids: A Thing of the Past. Since this senior lives off-campus, he obviousl y missed the awesome panty /jock raid a few weeks back. My friends and I were drawn to our windows by an uncontrollable crowd of men chanting •" panties! panties!" We gave them what they asked for. A shower of red, black, purp le , and white lace and silk fell upon the "'hungry group. " I must make it clear that Columbia Hall girls have the sexiest panties , and we ' re the most generous. After security cleared the men away , my friends and I wanted to avenge the loss of our undies. Approximatel y 200 girls from Columbia Hall took off on an untraditional jock raid. Our first stop was Luzerne, but with little results , we headed to Montour , where we received a terrific show. We gathered in front of the glass hallway and cheered as "the men of Montour " threw down their jocks and underwear. Many of them went all out, tossing down what they 'd been wearing when we arrived. It was one of the best performances I' ve ever seen. Many of us returned to our dorms with 5 or 6 pair of undergarments , including everything from Calvins to Hanes. Even Security complimented us on a job well done. I find it difficult to believe panty /jock raids can get much better than this, and it only goes to show that you people living off-campus miss out on more than you think.

These people never even discussed what they had learned in school or what their jobs would be like. They seemed to be, I must sadly say , concerned solely with numbers .

Well , I and a number of other people here at BU have a good time laughing at all this. I even know people in the 'profitable ' majors that are interested in and care about doing quality work . They rarely mention their GPA' s or starting salaries. They are interested in all fields and when asked about school or career , tend to talk more about the subject they are study ing . They are less concerned with the 'numbers of success ' . Strangely enough , however , these numbers usually fall into p lace quite nicely for them. And when these strange , concerned , interested people enter the work force , they 're usually the types that enjoy their work , and somehow even manage to bring home a paycheck. If they ever teach , they will be enthusiastic about their subject , encourage and help their students, and on occasion , heaven forbid , even keep their classes a few minutes late.

A theological commentary Contract a laid back church by David L. Ferris Guest Commentator What 's all this fuss about the separation of church and state? That goes against the American way of life . I think it is perfectl y log ical for us to have a state reli gion; and like everything else we do , we should contract it out. The electric company is under contract , why not the church? We 'd have to find the church that would give us the best deal. The most salvation for our bucks, as it were . Since most denominations of Christianity, for instance, are actuall y in agreement on the major issues , we 'll have to look at other criteria. We wouldn 't want a denomination that was too strict , since we don 't want to actuall y have to 'work' for our redemption. We would also look for a church that had a nice set of scriptures. The King James version of the Bible , as an example , was written in Eng land in the 1600's. Seventeenth Century Engli'sh is a lot different than Twentieth Century American-Eng lish. Many of the word s have different meanings than originall y intended . I'm British and I have trouble with it. Given a new holy book in modern Eng lish or the A.nericanesc equivalent , we 'd need some new tunes as well. The old hymns are okay , as long as you aren 't a music critic. After play ing a large number of them , this humble bassist noticed that many of these old classics are in the same key, the same time signature and the same rut. What we need are some good guitar riffs , a wailing saxophone , and Phil Collins on the drums. I' m not advocating that heavy metal be introduced to the pews, heaven forbid. I' m just saying that the average 1980' s church tune will never make it to any musical hall of fame . A respectable schedule for services is also in order. The standard Sunday morning affair is too much for this ni ghtowl. What we want is a service in the middle of the afternoon , so at least the musicians will be awake. One more important point to consider is the sermon content. None of this "Thou art all sinners " rubbish. No. What we ' re looking for is something more vague , so that we don 't have to listen too carefull y and won 't be held responsible for it in the great hereafter. Something along the lines of... "Why, you should be a nice person most of the time. " The contract for the official state church should be up for grabs every three years. That will keep the competition sharp. See you on Sunday morning. You may be seated . An earful Editor: Dave Burian 's article in the Oct. 20 issue of The Voice rings true in most cases of opposite sex friendships.

A Sympathetic Ear Ride Board not for moneymaking Editor: Please allow me to take this opportunity to relate some disgraceful happenings on this campus. I was recently subject to a new low in money making. Don 't get me wrong, I am all for the college students dreaming up new ways to make money , but not when other students get screwed in the process. Once upon a time , some brilliant student thought up the idea for a ride board. It 's purpose was to find other students to help pay for the driver 's gas expenses while also g iving a ride to those who are not fortunate enough to own a car. Notice the key p hrase here—to help pay gas expenses. Today , there are a growing minority of car owners who are violating the good intentions of the ride board and think they should make a profit of taking people home. Just last weekend, I was stuck Thursday nig ht without a ride. I found one at the last minute and was so thrilled I forgot to ask how much he wanted for gas. The whole ride home , I listened to how great this guy 's van was and what great gas mileage it got. It only took 9 gallons to get home. When we arrived , he asked for $4 which I considered completely fair for a round tri p. However , when we arrived back at school 2 days later , he asked for another $4. Now , if I were the only person he took home for that weekend , I would not be complaining, but two other girls also paid $8 for this tri p. Is my gripe unfair to my ride? After all , he did do me a favor. I think I gripe for good reasons. It took 9 gallons of gas to get home and 9 gallons to get back. Let 's call it an even 20 for easy calculation. Twenty gallons of gas split between four people. That 's five gallons of gas each at $.80 a gallon. An even $4. Was I charged $4? NO, I was charged $8, a 100 percent profit for this guy who was "nice " enough to take me home at the last minute. This is not the worst case of ri p-off I have heard of. Other rides going the same distance or more . less charsc even Editor: After reading Ken Kirsch's "The Beatles are the source, " from the Nov. 17 issue of The Voice, I did not know whether to laugh or cry. I am , of course, referring to Mr. Kirsch' s unfair criticism of Huey Lewis and the News. " In an attempt to select a "four minute wham-bam-and-done group , Mr. Kirsch seems to have haphazzardly chosen Huey Lewis and the News. Perhaps it was the enlightening conversation that I recently had with a non-News fan that caused me to take offense at Mr. Kirsch's unjustified remarks regarding Huey Lewis. Just as the Beatles reflected the prevalent social problems of their times , so do Huey Lewis and the News. In songs such as "Hip to be Square " and "Crack Me Up, " Huey Lewis addresses the issues of individuality and drunk driving, respectively . Now I 'm p laying it real straight/and yes , I cut my hair. /You might think I 'm crazy/butI don 't even care/cause I can tell what 's going on, lit 's hip May I ask a question? Just who the hell does he think he is? Two years ago, I paid $2 each way and the gas prices have gone down since then. I am thoroughly disgusted with this new form of making a fast buck . Taking advantage of fellow students who want to go home is the slimiest scheme ever dreamed up. We are pay ing for your gas, not your next five parties . And don 't tell me it 's out of your way, because you were going home anyway or you wouldn 't have been offering a ride. To the van owner waiting for the rest of the money he feels owed to him , don 't hold your breath. I am not to be made a profit of , especially when I was not told ahead of time that this was how you operated. And to the rest of you who feel your car is a moneymaking machine, get off your hi gh horse and stop taking advantage of the rest of us. If we didn 't want to go home too, you 'd be pay ing all of your expenses yourself. People like you give the college student a bad name. Pissed Off Huey Lewis not 'wham-bam to be square. In an industry dominated by many forms of illegal vices, Huey Lewis is definitely an original speaking out against some of society 's biggest problems. Definitely not a "wham-bam " group.

Mini-courses offered as From the Health Center alternatives to students Prevention instead of panic by Bob Banchiere for the Voice What do you do when you work full time and have three children , but want to go to school? That was Mary Ann Charnosky 's problem until she decided to take courses through the Office of Extended Programs at Bloomsburg University . Charnosky currentl y works at Sunbury Community Hospital in nursing administration. She is taking courses through Extended Programs toward s her Bachelor of Sciene in nursing. Extended Programs offers many courses , including mini courses which are non-credit • courses in areas of interest such as crafts , exercise , and even guitar and self-defense lessons. Mini courses are held one night a week for four to ei ght weeks. According to Mr. John Abell , the Dean of Extended Programs , about 1,500 people attend mini courses each year. Most of the people who attend are townspeople and faculty , even though full time students may partici pate . For the more serious student. Extended Programs offers certificate programs. These are a concentration of courses associated with a field such as human sexuality at prison , said , "They 're one of the best classes I' ve ever had . The students show more interest . because it is a privilege for them to take the class. " According to Parsons , the students are older , with more and diverse back grounds sociolog ical experiences . Altoug h the maj ority of students who take courses throug h Extended Programs are non-traditional students , anyone can take the courses as long as they are eli g ible to take credit Bloom sburg courses at University . And since mini courses are non-credit anyone can take them. Extended Programs is constantly chang ing. Abell said , "I think Extended Programs has a reputation for the quality of its pro g r a m s and for being entrcprcncura l in creating new programs to meet society 's needs. " advertising, marketing, or personnel management. There are currently Hr""*n certificate programs which off er 30-32 credits each. At the end of the program the student receives a certificate which shows fu l fillment of requirements . Althoug h a person can receive a certificate throug h Extended Programs , a person can not get a degree throug h the office. Cert i ficate programs and mini courses barely scratch the surface of what Extended Programs is all about. Extended Programs is involved with such things as international education , internshi ps , grants , and television courses , as well as hosting a variety of conferences and institutions each summer at which some 5,000-7 ,000 people attend. Abell said , "The most distinctive feature of Extended Programs is its diverse multi dimensional programs. " Extended Programs activities range from providing a home for S.O.A.R., the organization representing non-traditional students on campus , to presenting a scries of courses at the Muncy State Correctional Institution. Dr. Jim Parsons, who teaches From page 1 by Kathey Sawyer LA Times-Washington Post Service At about 8:45 a.m. Thursday , shuttle launch close-out chief Junior Bumgardner reported a make-believe deadl y fuel leak at Launch Pad 39-B, tri ggering the simulated evacuation of seven rookie astronauts and six members of the ground crew from the launch tower. The exercise was billed as the most extensive emergency escape drill ever conducted in the shuttle program and was carried out as the result of safety concerns raised by the Jan. 28 Challenger explosion. ./- . ; <: . : -y w 'The,objective was to improve procedures and rehearse- the launch teams for the possibility of a real prelaunch emergency . The drill , in addition to the faked injuries , produced real , unp lanned vehicle and computer breakdowns and included a number of "timeouts. " A key element of the escape system , baskets on slide wires running from the door of the orbiter to the ground , was not used because of concerns that the system has never been proven as safe as some officials in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration would like. . Asked about shortcomings highli ghted in this and other drills conducted here this week , shuttle launch director James A. (Gene) Thomas said at a news conference that it is "certainl y true " that NASA has considerable work ahead before it reaches the desired level of confidence in launch equipment and procedures. But he said the tests have been a "complete success" because "we learned a multitude of lessons. And I can assure you that none...will be overlooked. " The evacuation ended three days of launch pad drills designed to boost morale and sharpen skills of launch crews and astronauts during the shuttle 's grounding by the Challenger disaster last Jan. 28, which killed seven astronauts . Bumgardner "discovered" the emergency at T-minus 1 hour 55 infants of infected mothers and sexual partners . In a related development , a committee of the British House of Commons has begun an investi gation of a published scientific report that links a worsening of AIDS symptoms to exposure to a widely used agricultura l pesticide , Temik , manufactured by the Union Carbide company . A report by Dr. John Olson , a researcher with' the Wisconsin Department of Health , and Dr. Ronald Hindsill of Wisconsin University says that the active ingredient in Temik can break down the immune system of people exposed to it , leaving them more vulnerable to the AIDS virus. The active ingredient , aldicarb , is a granular compound desi gned to break down quickl y into a harmless substance after it filters through the soil. The two researchers say aldicarb affects the human immune system , possibly intensify ing the effects of the AIDS virus in someone who is exposed to both contaminants. Union Carbide has rejected the report 's findings and says independent research has shown Temik to be safe.

Robert Koch , For the Voice An editorial in the Fri., Nov. 7 issue of The New York Timeswas headlined "Don 't Panic Over AIDS. " It emphasized the fact that AIDS is not easil y acquired and does not spread throug h casual contact. The princi ple mode of transportation continues to be anal contact by homosexuals and the sharing of needles by drug addicts . The AIDS virus can also be transmitted much less effectivel y in vag inal intercourse. Many of the regular sex partners of drug addicts with AIDS show signs of exposure to the virus. The likelihood of a transmission in a sing le sexual encounter seems small. However , in vag inal transmission , the virus seems to pass NASA holds shuttle escape drill to prevent future space accidents AIDS viruses Gallo and Montagnier said the first results of tests for possible vaccines • against the original strain of AIDS would become available next year or in 1988. "But , Gallo said , "We have no idea whether any of them are going to work. " The speed with which the new strains will spread from Africa through Europe and other parts of the world will depend , o.ri . ho.w many of the infected people travel internationally; scientists said. Jet travel is one of the biggest factors in the global spread of the disease. The new strains appear to be spreading in Africa through sexual contacts among heterosexuals, researchers said. In Africa , heterosexual sex is responsible for the endemic growth of AIDS , a pattern that is in marked contrast to the United States and Western Europe , where AIDS has spread primaril y throug h homosexual sex and intravenous drug use. Contaminated blood products and infected body fluids such as blood , semen and mucous discharges are the mediums through which AIDS has spread to hemophiliacs, trauma patients , Greta Luckenbill , Patrick Murphy, Pamela Ohl , Susan Olejkowski , Susan Sugra , Bobbi Weise and Koreen Wile. minutes , just as the astronauts were suiting up and boarding the orbiter Atlantis as if preparing for an actual launch. Shuttle commander Frank Culbertson and p ilot Stephen Oswald were already on board and strapped into their seats. The "leak" was of toxic hydrazine rocket fuel from the shuttle 's forward maneuvering rockets. There was no fuel actually on board . The computer software that was supposed to activate the launch pad 's water deluge system , shower head-like devices mounted on elevated access arms , failcd;vbut a technician turned it on manuall y, Thomas said. A curtain of water drenched the area and the partici pants as fire rescue teams clad in silver protective suits raced to the scene from their posts one mile south of the pad. NASA spokesman Jim Ball , providing the commenta ry , said there was "at least one person that has simulated incapacitation. " Then he added , ' 'We have a (second) simulated incapacitated close-out crewman being assisted by fire rescue personnel into a slide-wire basket. " (The close-out crew assists the astronauts aboard the orbiter and seals them in for launch.) A few top launch officials designated the injured , who were handed card s as the drill started , informing them of their roles. Four people with simulated injuries , including one astronaut , were assisted from the launch tower , Ball said. The close-out crew and astronauts , after d o n n i n g breathing masks, pretended to climb into evacuation baskets that then slid with a low whine along 1,200-foot wires to the ground , where they were snagged in nets . The baskets carried sandbags instead of people , because they have never been used to carry a person and NASA wanted to avoid possible injury to the evacuees. The evacuees actuall y rode an elevator to the ground . Then they climbed back into the baskets and got out again to complete the simulated egress. "We felt we had man-rated them safe by using dummies , " Thpmas said. "Now there is a move to man-rate all the baskets with (live) volunteers next year " after additional improvements have been made. However , for that test , he noted , there will be no shuttle on the launch pad because schedule and fli ght hardware limitations do not allow it. Atlantis is to be rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building on Saturday after a seven-week stay on the pad for equipment tests. No shuttle will sit on the pad again until the Discovery is rolled out for the first shuttle mission since Challenger , scheduled for February 1988. Ball noted as the drill began that it would not be a ' 'contest for speed ," but would include planned 'starts and stops. Timing by observers indicated that it would have taken about six minutes from the time the alarm sounded and the rescue personnel were dispatched until all parties were back on the ground where they entered a protective bunker. Next , the partici pants got into two M-113 armored personnel carriers to drive out of the potentiall y fumed-filled area. One of the M-113s suffered a "simulated breakdown , " Ball said. It later turned out to be "not a simulated problem but a real problem , " he said. This could have been serious , Thomas acknowled ged later. But he said the vehicles used Thursday "are 20 years old , at least " and that NASA has three rebuilt tanks on the way "that didn 't get here in time. " Internship From page 1 provided.

The whispering vocals and acoustics of Rolo McGinty add a subtle touch of sincerity to "Last Time. " "Give it Time. " and "Everything Breaks. " The supporting harmony of the rest of the band is reminiscient of earl y Cars ' work. McGinn 's voice unfortunatel y fails on the rockabilly numbers "Love Train. " and "Hear me James. " Brian Setzer he is not. Thoug h Columbia Records , who markets the band, believes it ' s McGinty sing ing /songwriting and acoustics which shine on the a l b u m . I have to disagree. Though it is the most noteable "History " is this bands ' examp le , taking the U2-esque method of putting a danceable rh ythm behind thought-provoking lyrics. Their word s are not quite as biting as U2' s, but more the gentlemanly, withdrawn observations of Jackson Browne. "Here all the faith in our leaders/isfrom out in the streets/ Prop hets and the pro blems/seldom seem to meet. " The highlight of Giant, though , is undoubtedl y "Last Time , " a moderate-tempo , insi ghtful look into relationships in the 80' s. McGinty 's romanticall y insecure lyrics are sung in a convincing, subtle style, drawing superb support from background harmony . "I know the beast in me/I know I never invited it in/I try to run , but now, now no more/Is it because I find it inside of ewry boy /Hold me in your arms, hold me this last time/Hold me in your arms , leave me here to crv. " part of the record , it is the masterful guitar work of Simon Mawb y that really makes it. Mawby draws from all the greats in formulating his own uni que sty le. The trademark Creole sty le of Mark Knopfler on "So Good Today. " and Carlos Santana on "History " are offset nicely by the heavier , whistling buzzsaw sounds of Stevie Stevens on that piece , as well as "Traveling Man. " Some influen.ee by U2' s The Edge can be heard on "Everything Breaks. " Thoug h not a great lead player the likes of Ritchie Blackmore , Mawby nevertheless pulls off enoug h artful hooks to keep the album musicall y interesting and moving. Providing a multi-talented rhythm section are drummer Benny Stap les , bassist F r a n k DeFreitas . and keyboardist Alice Thompson. He and guest accordionist Jack Emblow resurrect the carnival organ sounds which marked the earl y Springsteen classics. They branch out on their own, thoug h , using it as both a lead and rh ythm element on "Everything Breaks , " and "Last Time , " breaking fresh new ground in what was beg inning to become a vast wasteland of mindless synthesizer-soaked 80' s rock. In keep ing with the tradition of today 's new music , the Woodentops use their music as a vehicle for social c o m m e n t a t io n . Antigone (from I to r) Catherine Amouret , Philippe Fournel,Philippe Bourrat, Tim Trout and Anne Babkin A night of French theater Anouilh's Antigone a success by Patricia Loeb For the Voice The future is uncertain for a band of this type. While airp lay is almost guaranteed overseas and on more progressive stations here in the States, their talent will most likel y never be picked up by patheticall y narrow-minded Top 40 stations or the syndicates which do their programming. It is a shame , but if we are left to promote bands such as these by word of mouth , then it 's all the better for us. It 's the bigwi gs loss , not ours . The Bloomsburg Players in collaboration with the French Club presented Antigon e by Jean Anouilh last Thursday through Saturday in the university Forum. The play was performed in French and was about the pro testation of the reg ime between World Wars I and II. French exchange student Anne Babkin played Anti gone. Babkin began a bit shak y , but her acting progressed nicel y throug hout the play. She portrayed Anti gone as a fi ghter and an uny ielding individualist. Her performance was an insp iration , teaching a lesson of integrity in the face of mounting adversity . Crcon , played by French exchange student Philli pe Fournel , was a strong and dominating character throug hout the entire show. Fournel' s acting shined. His intense characterization was believable and consistent. He and Squealer 's Corner The opportunity worth sacrifice Dave Burian As I mentioned in my last colu m n , attempting to establish and maintain f r i e n d s h i ps w i t h members of the opposite sex is often a discourag ing and seeming ly futile experience. But once a friendship (under my terms) continues past being 'just friends ' and enters into the 'romantic relationshi p ' stage , one would think that the deeper feelings that are established would continue even afte r the relationshi p ends. But as most of us know , this is usuall y not the case. It seems that my definition of 'friends ' doesn 't click with that of some former female companions who still insist that our "friendshi p " is thriving. Like most of us , I am all too familiar with that great egoshatterer 'I just want to be friends ' , which when translated means 'I no longer desire you • M 9 > » « < < < « K < i (>> • sexually or emotionally ' . By this time , the definition ol 'friends ' has been reduced to saying 'Hi' as you pass each other on campus , or maybe , if you ' re lucky , a ten minute update on each others ' lives in the Union or library . . ¦•_-. I'm sorry , but those pleasantries don 't designate a friendshi p to me; t h e y si gn i f y t h e withdrawal of emotional responsibility and the deterioration of what little relationship there was to that of a mere acquaintance. Forget the fact that promises made about 'forever love ' are broken and left forgotten. This is so commonplace that it hard l y bears acknowledgement. It is ni g h impossible to remain friends after the breakup of a romantic relationshi p because one person invariabl y still desires the other. This is one fact that will probabl y always exist in the greater scheme of things. It is interesting that of the three different categories that usuall y define relationshi ps , (I' m speaking of course of boy/ g irlfriends , lovers , and true friends) true friends are alway s the hardest to come by and keep. They are also the most valuable because they transcend the bitter and petty disputes that are often the main cause of a romantic downfall. They can offer an objective and supportive viewpoint DMO>« PA 17101 (717) 232-9794 ' Rep roductive Freedom, Individual Choice $ • What do peop le do today to celebrate this great day of giving thanks? Today 's version of the age-old tradition includes watching parades and football games; whether on TV or just outside the front door. Visiting relatives and/or friends also are among the modern Thanksg iving rituals. It has become a relaxed day of I ' i Abortion Services "¦¦ In the autumn of 162 1 , the Pil grims and Indians celebrated the first Thanksg iving. When they had first arrived in America, the Pil grims were plagued with sickness and failing crops. As a result many of these ori g inal settlers died. However , the next year , they felt God had been good to them. The sickness was under control and the harvest very p lentiful. The Pil grims decided a celebration was in order , and invited the Indians to partake with them. The Indians accepted the invitation. The two groups ate wild geese and deer meat. They drank wine , p layed games , talked and gave thanks to God. This joyous celebration lasted over three days and althoug h it was not proclaimed a national holiday until 1864, (243 years after it first began) Thanksg iving can be seen as the fi rst American holiday . .«\^ .N*v : § | Reproductive J ^ f; i • "eal . & Services by Susan Willner For the Voice by Roseanne Geiger For the Voice { r "^^"-^^ *^^ *"*^ ""^^ "H^ **^^ «^^"<^**^^ "+%r **^r *^^ **^& ***%r "^^ "^^ ""^^ **^^ "<^ " * ^ "^^ "^^ '"*^ "^^ ' ' ' ¦ \ < I < < < < j * < i * FIRST & MIDTRIMESTER ABORTIONS . \ ) * PREGNANCY TESTING * GYNECOLOGICAL CARE j * PROBLEM PREGNANCY COUNSELING { * EDUCATIONAL SERVICES | .^w. />u l>vy>uy>»y»n»»/>ify>v/><»/>iK ^>w.>v. ^^t-j ^^ . » u .^>u yx.y>»»t»y>»^>tf.^\/> Bloom Vision * j T * * Contact Lens Service * *j crco^' Daiiy | ) rnlorr Ex, . | * Wear Col ° - Wear j ^^ Cfflfl*** j! r*>n+**+> center F i t t i n g Fee $80 80 J 301 East St. Bloomsburg, PA 387-8800 J agreement and solution $00 $00 3 mo service—=— __ $100 j r - $00 3 mo of fol,ow -u P $00 $00 $00 : examination \ $129 $149 $169 !

His character , though not major , became as important and memorable as any other. Dclbert Roll and Tim Trout handled the parts as guard s two and three well. The three blended nicely. Frank Sellers contributed well as the chorus, his masked appearance near the end of the p lay hel ped to establish the tone of the p lay . Janet Carey p layed the messenger and Andrea Sato p layed the Page. Both did well in their parts. All the characters wore modern costumes , greatl y adding to the play 's success. The li g hting and scenery were subtle , as a Forum production dictates. Hitoshi Sato directed, combining effective stage direction with a strong and united cast. Overall, this French production of Antigone proved an interesting and enjoyable challenge for the actors and the audience. Those involved did a fine job. Catch it, take it home this year 9.«'V j .•**'
