Anthony def eats Goboraf or CGA p resident CGA presidential election riddled with questions by The Voice News Staff Robert Anthony won last Thursday 's CGA Presidential election over current Vice President Edward Gobora . The election results showed only a 33 vote difference between the two candidates , with Anthony receiving 454 votes and Gobora receiving 421 votes. Election Day, however , was marred with controversy and inconsistency . According to several sources, early in the day, rumors that Gobora was stuffing the ballot box began circulating. Sources claim CGA President Tim Keffer was notified of the rumors , but said the rumors could not be substantiated. When informed of the ballot box stuffing rumor, Anthony said, "I heard about the rumor and was worried about it. " Gobora denied the rumor , stating, "Even if I wanted to , it would be impossible . Too many people stand around the ballot box. " Voting hours in the Kehr Union Building were extended from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. This decision was not made by Mark Emswiler, chairman of election board , but by Keffer. Both Emswiler and Gobora were in class from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. Gobora did not find out about the extension until about 3:30 p.m., when he found Keffer with Emswiler in the Computer Center with the ballots. Emswiler said that he learned of the extension when he met Keffer to take the ballots to the Computer Center at 3:20 p.m. When asked why he made the decision alone instead of consulting Emswiler, Keffer said that Emswiler was in class. Keffer also stated the extension was a "mutual agreement between (Dean) Norton and myself to give the students more of a chance to vote . However, Robert Norton , dean of student life, when asked of the decision said ,"Keffer told me that he was extending the voting time. I didn 't see any problem as long as the committee (Election Board) okayed it and I' m assuming Mark (Emswiler) was there all day. " Questions arose as to why the extension was placed in the middle of the day instead of after all voting had concluded at 6 p.m. Keffer supported his decision saying, "The voting time was extended from 2 p.m. to about 3:15 p.m. because the Computer Center expected ballots at 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. I didn 't want to ask them to change the time. " Keffer said neither party was notified of the extension. "I didn 't inform either candidate because I didn 't see either one of comment. When asked if he was supporting anyone during the election , Keffer said , "No , I wasn 't supporting anyone in the campaign. " As the day went on , concern developed about the way students were instructed to vote . One student, Brian Nahodil , gave The Voice a written statement explaining what happened to him when he went to vote . Robert Anthony them . '' Keffer continued , "! understand that Anthony was playing pinochle in the Union , but I didn 't think to tell him. " Anthony , when asked if he was told of the extension , said , "I wasn't informed of the extension . I was sitting in the Union playing pinochle and was unaware the extension was going on. " He added that he was playing pinochle around 2:30 p.m. Anthony later told reporters that he "knew they were still voting but wasn 't aware of the time. " Gobora said that he was m class at the time. According to Emswiler, the candidates are not allowed on the first floor of the Union where Anthony was playing pinochle during the election. When asked why he allowed Multiple factors caused pipe failure in Hartline classes by Tom Sink Staff Writer The cause of a water pipe burst which flooded three rooms in the Hartline Science Center on Jan . 25 is not being attributed to below-freezing temperatures within the building , according to Don McCulloch , director of Bloomsburg University physical plant and energy management. "A number of things occurred which contributed to the pipe failure," McCulloch said , pointing out that the building temperature never went below 50°. According to McCulloch , the incident occurred on the night of the 25th.The p ipe failure took place in Room 127 and water leaked into a biology storage area and a physics equipment room. Chairman of the Department of Biology and Allied Health Services Dr. Louis V. Mingrone said he lost a collection of dehydrated plants which he started in 1969. "The plants were of historical value ," Dr. Mingrone said . He added that the collection , which was located in Room 74 of HSC, was composed of plants taken from this area and were not rare or irreplacable. Department of Physics chairman Dr . David Harper said the water inundated Rooms 59 and 20 of HSC and saturated much equipment. "So far , the equipment tested for damage is checking out okay ," Dr. Harper said. He pointed out that the equipment which appeared undamaged now may experience breakdowns later. Faculty Emeriti Dr. David Superdock -aid $50,000 worth of equipment located in Room 20 of HSC was heavily hit by water. "The 'damage is less than what I expected ," said Dr. Superdock. ' 'But it will take a while to determine the total losses. " Dr. Superdock was involved in a five-year environmental radiation monitoring program. In a memo sent to Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. John Baird , Dr. Harper expressed his concern that the research data obtained by Dr. Superdock was irrecoverable. "It will take a few weeks or months to assess damages ," Dr. Superdock said . According to McCulloch , the water pipe froze and burst in HSC through the combination of a coil See PIPE page 3 This equipment escapeddamage that may have occured when a pipe split open in the Hartline Science Center near the end of January. (Voice photo by Robert Finch) Tim Keffer Anthony to remain in the Union during the election, Keffer replied "I don't know of any rule as to that .". He said that he was in the Union all the time last year when he ran for CGA President. Joe Denelsbeck , last year 's election.board chairman , informed The Voice that Keffer should have been aware of the rule. Denelsbeck said , "I informed both of last year 's candidates , Tim Keffer and Don Chomiak , that they were not to be on the first floor of the Union during election hours. " When asked about the policy, Don Chomiak said, "I remember the restriction. Neither Tim (Keffer) nor I were allowed on the first floor during the voting. " Around 11 a.m., Keffer took the ballot box key from Emswiler. Keffer said the reason Edward Gobora was because Emswiler was ill and he wanted Emswiler to go home. Emswiler, who was appointed chairman by Keffer and Gobora early last semester, stated the reason Keffer took the key was because he (Emswiler) was one of Gobora 's Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers and there were rumors of ballot box stuffing. Anthony agreed that the reason was because Emswiler is a TKE brother. Hugh Oneill , a CGA Senator who was working the election table in the Union , said that at 1:15 p.m. Keffer replaced the ballot box with a smaller, empty box. Keffer then took the ballot box to the CGA office. Shortly afterwards, Oneill went to the CGA office and found Keffer alone counting the ballots . Keffer could not be reached for "I voted at approximately 4:30 p.m. in the Commons," Nahodil said. "When I received the sheet (ballot), the person who was behind the desk said 'Just mark 1A and put it in the box. ' This was all they said. " Marking 1A would result in a vote for Robert Anthony. Voters choose CGA off icers Three candidates running unopposed claimed key offices in CGA and Robert Anthony was successful in his attempt to claim the office of CGA president for 1987-88. Jim Fritchman will take over for Ed Gobora in April as vice-president. Mark Beaudin will replace Jodi Vandergrift as treasurer and James Rohrbach will become the next secretary. This ballot box was discovered by The Voice unattended in the CGA office on election day.

Commentary Features Classifieds Sports page 2 page 4 page 6 page 8 When reason Slides Students at universities across the country are faced with what f o r some will be an insurmountable obstacle to attending college. The Higher Education Amendment, signed by Ronald Reagan in October, will eliminate loan elig ibility f o r a vast number of students. Others will face a reduction in loan elig ibly which might result in the decision to not attend college or drop out afte r the spring semester. The first thing that comes to mind is the stupidity of the occasional but steady increases in tuition costs and college expenses vs. the reductions in financial aid, including Gramm-Rudman and Governor Thornburgh 's $220 tuition increase of last year. On March 17, 1986, a column ran in ' 'Studen t at Large '' which dep icts the appropriate sentiment with regards to this subject. This particularcolumn is, in itself, the editor 's op inion on this issue. In a move of sheer fiscal brilliance , the laws were changed and financial aid cuts were matched with tuition increases. Money , not brains , became the chief prerequisite for college. Between Gramm-Rudman and Governor Thomburgh 's $220 tuition increase, little was left to the imagination , let alone intellect. The U.S. Government, believing the college students in this country were buying corvettes and BMW 's with Uncle Sam 's dollars , cut financial aid to thousands of students who previously receh'ed funding that barely kept them in school . This move saved millions and allowed our military to ensure the capability of destroying the world one more time. Poor Bloomsburg University . Needing students to fill the classrooms , money for the coffers , the university started accepting monied , if not intelligent , individuals to replace the dynamic, yet poor, students who were forced to quit. No one really minded. The professors had a much easier time grading papers written in crayon and the number of students fighting the administration on issues fell from a few to zero . No one knew any better. The administration had little trouble controlling its new-found flock of sheep. Professor Herb L. Smith , of the newly established Basket Main concern students Editor: We at the Health Center want to compliment The Voice for the excellent job they are doing in serving as a "true voice " for the students of Bloomsburg University . We were pleased to see that a dissatisfied student felt free to express himself as he did in Thursday 's issue of the paper. We were also pleased that the same student , despite one unfortunate experience , had enough confidence in our care to return to the Health Center on the same day that the letter was published. He also had enough faith in the doctor who had previously treated him to allow the said doctor to administer further treatment. We hope that this can be viewed as a vote of confidence in our care. Should such problems occur in the future , we would be happy to have concerns voiced directly to our staff. Student wellness is our primary concern and focus. We constantly strive to improve our care . Sincerely, The University Health Care Staff Weavmg Department, said , "The quality of kids here is real good. It ain 't changed a bit. Bloomburg is in real fine shape. Yessirree! With the decline of retention , new departments were established to give even Professor Smith's students a chance at a degree. Lawn watering and mowing, weightlifting , and newspaper delivery became new majors at BU. Eventually, all departments requiring actual students were eliminated to keep GPA' s at the national average. Extracurricular activities including the school paper, theater, and forensics were eliminated also. No one could remember how to interpret the written word . Instead , keg rolling, chilling, and tapping gained new emphasis because of the rise of a new sport , beersliding . So if you have the money and are interested in a school where studying is a relic of years gone by, come to Bloomsburg University , try a beerslide and get involved. Tom Lyons , BU 's director of financial aid, was quoted in a recent story stating this new Higher Education Amendment would cause the "bread and butter " students at BU to suffer. These are students whose family incomes total between $24,000 and $30,000. If it were not f o r loans and work-study, this editor would not be here now. It seems odd that the government is not interested in nurturing its most va luable resource, young minds. Remember: All letters must be signed. Earning the right to speak Editor: This letter is directed to Mr. Hugh Oneill , CGA Senator. Dear Mr. Oneill: As an ex-senator , I am well aware of the procedures involving absences. However , I never missed one senate meeting. In stating there were only four absent , you are correct. However , you failed to mention that three senators walked in late (almost 20 minutes). I count that as an absence. This leaves us with four unaccounted for. I can only account for three. They were elected at the end of the meeting. Why isn 't it the objective of the senate to have as many of its members voting as possible? Why wait until the end of the meeting to elect the new senators? Now let 's talk about the bid minimum. I realize the point was to reduce the amount of paper work , but why did no one ask if it was going to cost us , the students , money? The fact that the university 's bid minimum is $1,500 is moot. You are comparing apples and oranges. It is rare that the CGA builds a new building, buys materials to renovate buildings , buys vehicles, grounds keeping equipment , or other thing s that cost a lot of money . The old saying "think before you speak" may apply here. As for the band , it is very obvious you did not read what was written. If you had , you would have been awakened to the fact that I said not to give the band the money because of their fundraising philosophy. But gee, since you gave in to them (with the uniforms) why not give them what they need? As to your comment on my abilities as a CGA columnist , when you have worked as hard as I did in CGA and sacrificed as much time as I did for the betterment of the student population , then I'll take your op inion seriously. However, until you prove to me that you are doing your job , I'll take what you write with a grain of salt. I hope you are an off campus senator because you are doing a really fine job of keeping your constituents (myself included) well informed.

It can not reasonably be the controlling consideration about what limits , if any , should be put on tests to answer scientific questions that could lead to substantially enhanced deterrence. In announcing the S.D.I, in 1983, Reagan characteristically went too far. He said his goal is an impermeable shield to make nuclear weapons obsolete by nullifying delivery vehicles. This, he said , would free the world from the immorality of deterrence—the policy of basing safety on a credible , survivable capacity to retaliate against an enemy attack by destroy ing the enemy 's society . Nunn argues that such a shield may not be technologically feasible or economically practicable , but that a strategic defense program might nevertheless substantially enhance deterrence. It might multiply the uncertianties of a Soviet regime contemplating a first strike. That is, strategic defense could confront Soviet war planners with an unacceptable level of uncertainty about how much of their first strike , designed to disarm America , could get through. Shultz and Nunn seem agreed that the argument is not whether to proceed , but how to deal with domestic and diplomatic niceties while proceeding with tests of the sort of programs on which the Soviet Union has alread y spent $150 billion. CGA pres: Voice unbiased Editor: In recent issues of The Voice , I am glad to see that CGA has once again found importance in the minds of the paper 's staff. This has led me to change my thinking in regard s to the paper. The outstanding job that is being done by you and your staff is a credit to this university . Your insightful journalism has uncovered coundess misinformation items that have existed for years. I feel that any criticism whatsoever in regard to The Voice is an injustice. I myself do not stand for incompetance, but at the same time I am not critical of other factions of the university. Never again will I question decisions made by you in regards to what will be printed in The Voice. Most of what any organization , including the paper , does is beneficial in one way or another as long as things are done with good intention. Unfortunately, a small percentage can hamper the organization and misrepresent people. I know for the rest of the semester The Voice will take an unbiased and supportive position in regards to CGA and its issues. I know that positive aspects of CGA will be stressed in articles much more than the negative ones . Once again I would like to compliment the fine work done by Bloomsburg University ' s Voice editor Mr. Don Chomiak and his fine staff.

Pwvost9s Lecture Series 'Witness' reveals violence by Susan Fallows Staff Writer Sharon Sopher 's startling documentary film , "Witness to Apartheid ," shown last Wednesday night in Carver Auditorium , interviews many firsthand witnesses to the violence of Apartheid- South Africa's system of sanctioned racial separation and discrimination. The film , which had to be smuggled out of the country , is concerned primarily with the brutal treatment of black youths and children by police. Blacks in South Africa are segregated into black townships. They do not have the right to vote and are kept in relative poverty . When a state of emergency was declared in 1985, blacks in South Africa were no longer allowed to congregate , especiall y at funerals ,and police began to routinely arrest and beat young people. "Witness " brings together interviews with , among others , young blacks victims , a white doctor and a black doctor who have both treated victims of the beatings , several black activists , an undertaker , several white Afrikaaners , and the Bishop Desmond Tutu. Each interviewee bares and explains to Sopher their physical and emotional scars caused by Apartheid. In the film , Bishop Tutu speaks of his fear that peaceful change, the approach to Aparteid he has long advocated , is ultimately ineffective. He says that although certain parallels have been drawn between the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and the AntiApartheid Movement , passive resistance is ineffective in South Africa because, unlike the Civil Rights Movement , the law and the Constitution are not on the side of the blacks. The two doctors both paraded several victems before the camera and exp lained their various wounds. Protestors were marked by bullet wounds that demonstrated , as one doctor put it , that the police , "Shoot to kill. " Others displayed cuts made by the heavy end of a bull whip or spoke of electric shocks administered by the police during their detention . One boy Sopher interviewed was beaten^ so badly that his speech is permanently slurred and he is plagued by headaches. Another man , in a scene many viewers may have found difficult to watch , showed by pressing on his head how the police beating had made his skull soft. Most black detainees are so Human rights taught in Canadian schools by Herbert H. Denton L.A. Times-Washington Post Service TORONTO - Public school systems across Canada have launched a major drive to include the teaching of human rights as a regular part of classroom instruction. In the southern Ontario steel town of Hamilton , for example , one such lesson examines ethnic and racial jokes and slurs. In Toronto , an anti-apartheid play is touring the schools. A variety of other classroom , exercises , films and readings is being tested at schools in six of Canada 's 10 provinces in a broad effort to inculate respect for individual and community rights and to foster abhorrence of prejudice and authoritarianism. Strongly backed by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney ' s government, which is helping to fund many of the projects , the intiatives come as waves of immigrants and refugees from Asia , the Caribbean and the Mediterranean are changing the complexion of Canada and causing quietly spoken resentment among some old-timers here . The new classes also incorporate material relating to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms , similar to the U.S. Bill of Rights but adopted only five years ago. The Montrealbased Canadian Human Rights Foundation has taken the lead in the campaign for classroom instruction on human rights . "It is very important to imbue these principles and these rights in young people before prejudices are formed and hardened ," said Stanley Urman , the executive director of the private, nonprofit foundation. "We should have them experience a violation of freedom of expression so that they will be motivated to protect their rights ," he said. School officials said teachers and parents are being involved in the development of course materials and the only doubt some express is whether such instruction is needed. "I think everybody 's good for race relations, at least in our area of the woods ," said Steve Barrs , who is supervising the Hamilton school board' s experimental programs and bears the title of values education consultant. "Perhaps in the states there are some communities that are against it. Here everybody 's for it. Some just don 't see the problem. " The new immigrants to Canada have complained in surveys that discrimination still exists in a country that until the 1950s and 1960s barred most non-whites. Blacks complain that their children are channeled into vocational programs ; Chinese believe there are quotas at some medical schools to restrict their numbers . The recent influx of Tamils and Turks who seek refugee status has caused a mild public outcry . The federal immi gration minister said flatly he did not believe there would have been such a response if they had been white . But Canadians are deeply reluctant to turn away refugees claiming per section in their native land once they arrive here, and hardly any are deported. Mulroney is emphasizing human ri ghts as he attempts to carve out an area of Candian foreign policy that is not a carbon copy of the United States ' .

This fact has given another of Sopher 's subjects , Afrikaaner John Fourie, a chance to alleviate some of hife guilt and distaste for the color of his own skin by allowing him to shuttle victims to the hospital . In the film , Fourie , a white advertising executive, spoke of his growing feelings of frustration and that he was "ashamed for having done so little. " Sopher 's conversation with a South African undertaker is only an audio tape from her preliminary interview with him. The dialogue is shown on a blackened screen. This interview had to be handled this way because the undertaker was picked up by police the day before a filmed interview could take place. The undertaker told Sopher that he had buried 34 children in five months and that most victims "don 't die of one wound . " Sopher herself became a witness to Apartheid when she was detained by police. The film uses chalk drawings tQ show the film crew being picked up by the police as they talked with the famil y of a black boy shot down in a schoolyard . They were detained and interogated for most of the day . Sopher said they were released because she was an American. Bishop Tutu commented that this action was probably taken by the police because the government is paranoid of the truth being brought out. Throughout the film , young black protesters spoke often of making sacrifices and doing what was necessary to put an end to Apartheid. Almost every person Sopher asked said they did not think Apartheid would end in the near future . The aunt of the boy killed in the schoolyard said Apartheid would end when they have killed all of the young children. "Witness to Apartheid" has a strong emotional pull to it. It simplifies the problems of Apartheid because it concentrates only on the violence. The film does not seek to provide answers to this complicated problem , but rather only to show its basic , inherent evil and brutality . As part of the Provost 's Lectu re Series , Sharon Sopher was to come to Bloomsburg University and speak after the film. She was unable to attend last week but will be here on March 11 for another showing of her film.

He explained that the failure of the coil allowed only cold water to flow through the system. He also added that a blocked circulation unit within Hartline caused the system to pump more than 10 percent outside air into the heat exchange unit. McCulloch pointed out that the temperature within HSC did not reach the freezing level. "Temperatures of 60° were recorded that weekend , " he said. Dr. Joseph Garcia and Dr. Levi Gray of the Department of Physics said they were in their offices on the Jan.24-25 weekend to do some work.

McCulloch said the temperature in the affected rooms have been raised to a constant 62° and dehumidifiers have been installed until the moisture has been evaporated.

There is definitel y no talent on the bass guitar. Bass lines are almost non-existant in the majority of their songs. In the few songs that it is used , the bass line is simple and shows the limited ability of the bassist. The drumming consists of your basic , rap beats , but with a heavier , metal-like sound , used mostly by bands like Exciter ("Pounding Metal') . Not bad , guys. Then you have the vocals , which consist of the three Beastie Boys members. One member pulls off a good Bon Scott imitation. Another attempts to be a Bon Scott clone but fails. And the third sings like my group 's drummer (neither one should be allow- by Mike Fleming Staff Wrilcr The Beastie Boys have hit it bi g with their latest album , 'Licensed To 111', which includes their hit single, 'Fight For Your Ri ght (To Party)' . They are now touring the west coast while lesser known bands (mine included) are wondering why they have "made it bi g ". These guys are n 't even old enough to vote! The Beastie Boys do have some talent, though. I' m not exactl y sure where, so let 's analyze each part. Their talent definitely isn 't in their guitar section. The leadwork sounds like early Black Sabbath records played at 78 speed. Well , at least the chord s are played ed w i t h i n 100 feet of a microphone). If you put all of this together , you wouldn 't expect to get much , but the Beastie Boys somehow defy logic and sound good (at least good enough for me to listen to the entire album) . The Beastie Boys and their album "Licensed To 111" brings forth a new musical syle by creating a strange , almost unheard of , combination; that of rap and metal. The hi ghli ghts of this album are , basically, 'Fight For Your Ri ght (To Party)' and 'No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn '. If you 're really into rap music , this album 's for you. If you buy the album expecting'all the songs to be like 'Fight For Your Ri ght ' you 'd be making a mistake. Roger Fromm, Bloomsburg University archivist.

Mr. Fromm is known by many students as the Bloomsburg University archivist and associate professor in the libra ry department. Those who are familiar with Fromm however , might be interested to know 'even more about his background . Being a native of Buffalo , New York , one mi ght think that Fromm views Bloomsburg as somewhat foreign. Such is not the case. He has not onl y taug ht in the United States , Vermont specificall y, but alsiMn Indonesia, Angola , and Libya as well.

I had no idea what to expect; this was my fi rst time. For all intents and purposes , I was a "Rocky Horror Virg in ". Within ten minutes , I had been briefed by seven Horror experts on what to expect- music , madness and mayhem.

If you didn 't understand all aspects of the film , that 's what was supposed to happen. As a matter of fact , there was virtually no plot to follow . Three words could sum up its entire essence: transexual , transvestite , and Transylvania. Mix and shake these ingredients together and a "plot " (I • • • • • •• •• •• • • •• • •• • • • • • • " • use the term loosely) develops. It involves a mad scientist who creates a bod y building monster named Rock y Horror. An innocent , young coup le falls into his clutches and decide , after little persuasion , to remain with him and his funk y band of org iasts. Their only creed: "Give yourself over to pleasure ," which obviousl y lends to the mildly Xrated scenes portrayed. Before Rocky Horror became the multi-million dollar cult film it is , it premiered in September of 1975 and received a bomb rating. Little more than disgust was expressed about it.
