CGA Appeals Committee demands re-election by Jeff Cox Editor Citing "the inefficient manner in which the election was conducted ," the CGA's Election Appeals Committee unanimously decided Wednesday to conduct a re-election for the CGA presidential post. The investigation into the election arose from an appeal filed by present CGA Vice President Ed Gobora following last Thursday 's election and an article in Monday 's edition of The Voice, in which Robert Anthony was declared winner. The decision was released at a meeting in the office of Dr. John Trathen , director of student activities and the Kehr Union , and in the presence of Gobora and Anthony . Trathen presented both candidates and The Voice with an official statement released by the committee that elaborated on the "inefficient manner " in which the election was conducted. The statement cited three specific reasons for a re-election , including: (reprinted verbatim) ~ candidates were given different instructions on election procedures - neither the candidates, nor the Election Chairperson , were .informed of the extension of voting time in the Kehr Union - a discrepancy between the number of counted ballots and the number of people that were indicated as having voted Trathen stressed, however , that no accusations of wrongdoing were being made*by the committee or in the statement. "We are not accusing any body of anything illegal ," Trathen said . "There were certain discrepancies. Ed was informed of some things , Rob was not. " Specifically , Trathen said that 61 names were crossed off the voter list for which no ballots could be accounted. However , Trathen reiterated that this did not mean that anybody was being accused of doing anything illegal , merely that such a large number of names marked off for which there were no votes could not be ignored . "Someone may have changed their mind about voting after they were crossed off , " Trathen said. "However , we felt a re-election was important. " In addition , several recommendations were made in the statement to the CGA Executive Council , including : (reprinted verbatim) - 1. An impartial person , such as Joe Denelsbeck , last year's CGA Election Chairperson , be appointed chairperson of the Re-Election Committee. - 2. The Re-Election Committee Chairperson meet with this Appeals Committee to further discuss election procedures . Trathen also said that it was not the task of the Appeals Committee to decide on a re-election date, but rather it would be up to the Executive Council to decide. Members of the Appeals Committee, other than Trathen , included: Joseph J. Cannavo , Eileen M. Irving, Jill S. Lippincott and Sean C. Mullen. Of the decision , Gobora said , "I think , with the new election , it will secure in the University community 's mind that the results of the new election are indeed accurate ." Anthony , who is forced into the position of having to win the See APPEALS page 3 Keffer defends election by Susan Fallows Staff Writer CGA President Tim Keffer denied any wrongdoing in handling last Thursday ' s CGA Presidential election.

(Voice photo by Imtiaz Ali Taj) _ Students can avoid long lines at the Scranton Commons by Mary Ellen Spisak Staff Writer A student commplaint about the long lines in the Scranton Commons prompted the Food Service Director to inform students of what they can do to decrease the long wait to be served. Director Jeff Zitzman stated he wanted to clear up whaf'doesn 't have to be. " Zitzman said he wants students to be more aware of the times when and when not to eat, pointing out that during evening meals, between 4:00 and 5:15, they serve 16.4 students per minute and between 5:15 and 5:45 serve 17.8 students per minute . Slower times for dinner occur between 5:45 and 6:00, when 8.7 students are served per minute, and between 6:00 and 6:30, when only 1.3 students are served per minute . "Students should be more aware of times so they can spread the crowds out a little," Zitzman said. Students who cannot eat in the Commons because of schedule conflicts should contact Mr. Zitz- man in,his office in A-B lobby . "If a student's schedule conflicts , we can make box lunches , which has been done already and is being done now , " Zitzman said. "There is no excuses for missing meals because of schedule conflicts ," Zitzman added. "We will bend over backwards to accomadate students. " Zitzman said he is willing to arrange meals to the students ' convenience, as long as he is contacted first. For example, the dinner lines are left open from 6:30 to 7:00 for athletes. "I did not , in fact, dismiss Mark Emswiller as Elections Chairperson. " "I did not take ballots out of the box alone. At all times someone was in the room ." "I extended the period of voting in a mutual agreement. Both candidates were not aware of the extension and neither had any advantage. " "It is my understanding that Rob Anthony was not informed to stay out of that' part of the Union , and to the best of my knowledge he was not (informed). " "I did not support either candidate , as CGA President. " Keffer went on to say that Ed Gobora had filed an appeal and that it had been accepted. He also said that because two members of the Appeals Committee, Mark Emswiller and himself , were directly involved , it was recommended that they be replaced by four members of the 1985 Governing Board- Sean Mullen , Jill Lippincott, Eileen Irving, and Joe Cannavo. When questioned by Senate members Keffer said that the Committee would determine if a new election was required. He also said that due to the urgency of the matter , the Committee would handle the appeal "as quickly as possible. " When asked why he had taken it upon himself to extend voting hours , an action normally to be taken by the Election Chairman , Keffer said that the move was prompted by low voter tu rnout and that longer hours would allow more students to vote . He said he did not consult with Elections Chairman Mark Emswiller because Emswiller was in class. Keffer also said that it was a mutual agreement between himself and Robert Norton , dean of student life. Norton commented at Monday 's meeting that he felt the poor weather may have caused low voter turnout and that he concurred with Keffer 's suggestion that the time be extended. Keffer stated that he did not know why Rob Anthony had not been informed of the policy that candidates remain off the first floor of the Union during voting hours. To the best of his knowledge Gobora was informed and Anthony was not. It was pointed out by Joe Denelsbeck , former Chairman of the Elections Committee, that the first floor rule was a guideline he established for the candidates during last year 's election. He said that the rules required that candidates remain only 20 feet away from the polls , which Anthony was. No mention was made of the allegations of cheating on the parts of Gobora or Anthony . In other CGA business , new senators were presented and several finance items were discussed. The Husky Ambassadors were granted one-third funding of $254.00 to send eight delegates to West Virginia to participate in the District Conference Underreporting hampers seriousness of AIDS by Sandra G. Boodman L.A. Times- Washington Post Service Dr. Paul Meyer, a pathologist , was recently called in to perform an autopsy on a 26-year-old man who died suddenly at a small community hospital in East Los Angeles. When the man 's father , a prominent local businessman, and his brother , a lawyer , learned that Meyer had issued a death certificate listing the cause of death as undiagnosed Pneumocystis pneumonia caused by AIDS. They were, in Meyer's words "mad as Hell. " "They called me, they called the chairman of the department of pathology and then the medical director of the hospital ," recalled Meyer , AIDS research cooridinator in the Department of Pathology at the University of Southern California Medical Center. "They said I was accus- ing their son of being a homosexual and kept challenging the death certificate." Meyer 's case and that of Liberace, whose doctor said he died of heart failure until he was overruled by a coroner 's finding of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, illustrate the problem of underreporting of the disease that has struck more than 30,000 Americans, killing 16,000' since 1981. Although public acknowledgement of AIDS is increasing, doctors and federal health officials agree that underreporting remains a problem , both in life and in death . Experts differ about how widespread underreporting of AIDS is, but nearly all agree that it hampers the collection of accurate data about the magnitude of AIDS , which public health officials predict may dwarf all previous epidemics in human history . "There 's underreporting of all sorts of things like suicides," said Dr. Louis E. Gantner Jr., a professor of forensic and environmental pathology at St. Louis University School of Medicine and president of the national association of medical examiners. "The problem with underreporting is that it is hard to judge the extent of it. After all , you don 't know what you don 't know. " Laws in most states require health care workers to report cases of AIDS to state authorities, who in turn report them to the federal Centers for Disease Control , which maintains an annonymous AIDS registry . Ann hardy, an epidemiologist who studied underreporting for the CDC, said she thinks most cases are reported to the AIDS registry by hospitals while the victim is alive. But , she says, "A lot of physicians don 't put it on death certificates because m some areas they 're public record. " Some doctors are reluctant to list AIDS on a death certificate for fear it will become public and cause the family additional pain. And major newspapers in cities with the largest numbers of AIDS cases still shy away from reporting deaths from a disease associated with homosexuals and intravenous drug users. According to Dr. Tim Dondero , chief of AIDS surveillance for CDC , about 10 percent of cases are not reported by doctors or hospitals. Another 15 percent , he estimated , are excluded because of an overly strict definition of the disease that CDC is in the process of redefining. Inaccurate death certificates have an impact on public health because "Death certificates are very important public health documents , " said Harold Rosenberg , director of the mor- tality statistics programs for the National Center for Health Statistics. "They ae the basis for most national health data on trends , lefe expectancy, and infant mortality . They ' re the best measure of the progress we're making. In addition , physicians who try to disguise AIDS by listing lymphona or meningitis or cardiac arrest on a death certificate may endange others who come into contact with the body and fail to make proper precautions . "A lot of people, funeral directors and forensic pathologists are Worried about it , " said Dr. John Smialek , Maryland' s chief medical examiner , who believes the practice is "fairly common. " In the last five months Smialek has sent two letters to Maryland doctors , county medical societies and hospitals reminding them of their responsibility to list the See AIDS page 3 of Ambassadors . After much discussion the Economics club was granted $525.00 , one-third of funds needed for an overni ght stay , to send 46 members to Washington , D.C. A request to allocate $26,695 for nine new pieces of nautilus equipment was tabled. The Senate debated the request for $12,275 to be taken from the reserve to cover the post season play for winter sports. The Finance Committee had moved to make this figure a ceiling for both winter and spring post season play . It was pointed out that this was a transitional year for athletic funding and that , althoug h athletics may require more money this year , next year they should not. The motion was tabled until a representitive from the Athletic Department could appea r before the Senate to discuss the figure . The Senate also passed a motion to require that certain CGA funded sports groups be required to sign waivers and statements that they are covered by insurance. The forms are designed to endemnify CGA from liability for the rest of this semester until a mandatory insurance policy can be reinstated. In a related matter , the Senate passed a motion recommending that the Council of Trustees reinstate the mandatory insurance policy. In open forum , Dean Norton mentioned the AIDS Awareness program sponsored by the Health Center and the Residence Life Office. The Senate meeting ended with a discussion of problems concerning the library closing early and forcing students to leave.

It is one of those necessary evils that occasionall y forces the individual to question sanity. In our society, be it in the form of a board , commission , committee , council , association , or senate, a governing body is in existence to act on the behalf of the whole , a rep resentation o\~ f.he people over which it governs. Seldom is it realized , sitting in ;i local council meetinr. that the boring arguments over pelts items on the agenda arc a s ital part of represenunse government. This aspect o\ represenuns e government , thoug h scorned by many , should be cherished for svhat it illustrates. It acts as a symbol of the people making a decision on some issue that affects their lives. This government , officials elected by the peop le, acts as a group in deciding issues that the peop le, as a whole , empower it to. 'This group , in the name of the peop le, establishes . regulations regarding the function of government. They set limitations on the possers of individual officers to pres ent them from going beyond the bounds of their offices and breaching the rules of government. W i t h i n governing bodies , boards and committees are established to act on the part of the government as a whole, to provide some service or perform some function. A committee acts as a part of the government , which acts on the behalf of the people. It is therefore empowered by the people to act. When an individual goes beyond the limitations of office and takes on the powers of the committee, without the expressed permission of the committee or the government as a whole, the individual has breached the rules of that government and should be held accountable. Only by maintaining the standards of representative government will ,that same government continue to function as it was intended to function. Chauvanistic views offending your memory .

Personally, I diink a girl should be handled with respect and affection. Picking up a girl at a party for a one ni ght stand , to me , is a sign of cheapness and immaturity .

He recalled Jack London 's personal credo: "I would rather be ashes than dust , 1 would rather my spark should burn out in a brilli ant blaze , Than it should by stifled in dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor , With every atom of me in magnificient glow , Than a sleepy and permanent planet. " Then Reagan said that London 's credo was once read to Ken Stabler , the pro quarterback , who was asked what it meant. Stabler said : "Throw deep. " Stabler was ri ght. So svas Reagan in endorsing the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). Now the future of elementary particle physics is in the hands of Congress. Congress willing, the SSC will be a tunnel in a circle with a 52-mile circumference. Atomsmashers are g i gantic microscopes for peering into the heart of matter. In the SSC , counter-rotating beams of protons , each beam travelling at nearl y the speed of li ght , will be steered by magnets into collissions. Only a few of these protons will collide , producing a shower of other subatomic particles. The characteristics of the resultant particles will be measured , often in intervals of biUionths of seconds. The more energy is contained in the space where particles collide , the better the chance the energy will be transformed into new forms of matter. Fermilab , a particle accelerator Bativia , Illinois , can create collisions yielding two trillion electron volts. The SSC will y ield 40 trillion. Fundamental science such as hi gh-energy physics inevitably has large economic and , more important , cultu ral effects on mankind 's moral sensibility . And the SSC, the largest and costliest experimental device ever , will have a profound effect on science. When Congress comes to consider approval of the SSC, it should bear in mind that many of America 's foremost scientists were born elsewhere and came here to be on the moving frontiers of science. The sociology of scientific enterprise is ,complex , but this is clear: The momentum generated by synergism among scientists , spanning generations , can be quickl y dissipated . It can be forfieted by government negli gence and philistine parsimony in scientific investment. A few barbed words on the record Editor: I feel I must speak out on The Voice's poor attempt at resurrecting Tlie Inside Cover, that being Mike Fleming 's Off the Record. The Inside Cover was at times informative , funny , serious , and socially conscious. I took obvious care in my choice of subjects and wordage. While talking on a particular band , I gave credit where credit was due and kept my own musical bias out of it. If I cut a band up, they deserved it , the same with the complimentary columns. Mr. Fleming 's is an egotistical (how many times does he mention his own band in the article), boring ("let 's examine each part; "- nothing like — journalistic foreshadowing to make an article interesting, ahem) desecration of a good thing. Perhaps if Mr. Fleming paid more attention to the band or concept in question , rather than lamenting about his own band' s musical and talent shortcomings , Off the Record wouldn 't sound so much like "off the cuff. " I question the editorial integrity of a newspaper which allows its writers to substitute egotism for writing talent. As for Mr. Fleming's article on The Beastie Boys, as well as his writing, "it be illin. " Ken Kirsch Comments on Stupidity Editor: Stup idity comes in many forms. At Bloomsburg , there is a vast abundance of stup idity from whatever angle the observer cares to look. This letter is dedicated to a few individuals who have demonstrated how immaturity and stup idity combine to prove a destructive force on this campus. Walking into the games room in the Kehr Union Building, it is fun to watch people pound on pool tables when they miss a shot , instead of directing their frustration on the true source of their inabilities. These are children and until now did not merit comment; Today, however , things changed . Walking into the games room , I was immediately .impressed by what must have been a true act of macho. Some semi-functional had attempted to dismantle a pool table without the aid of tools. This was in itself upsetting, but alone still did not require words. That was when I noticed the pinball machine. This particular pinball machine had a small problem. Some Neanderthal , in a snit because his play time was over , decided his own inabilities could not be to blame and had smashed the glass top of the machine. Enough is enough. Boys and girls , if you cannot play nice, then go play outside like mommy used to tell you. Tired-of-it The first cyclotron was built in Berkeley in 1930. It was five inches in diameter. Until recently, America clearl y led the world in high-energy physics research.In this decade , Europe has secured the lead , with the Soviet Union rising rapidly. The SSC will make America 's particle physicists preeminent in the competition to understand the ultimate consituents of matter and the forces that bind those constituents to form the universe. When Reagan ended the meeting by say ing , "Throw deep , " thereby signalling his support for the SSC, James Miller , head of the Office of Management and Budget , said , "You 're going to make a lot of physicists ecstatic. " Reagan replied , "That 's probably fair , because I made two physics teachers in high school very miserable. " Reagen likes to say, "You ain 't seen nothing yet. " The human race has never seen a project of any sort as ambitious as the SSC. But , then , the human race is designed to "throw deep ." A call for 're-election' Editor: I would like to address the issue of the CGA elections. I can not believe the lack of structure in running these elections. It is sad to say that I am beginning to believe our student body can not be trusted , and that the administration should run these elections in the future . When a friend handed in her ballot , it was crumpled and thrown back to her with the comment that she really wanted to vote for Rob and not Ed. It shows that the people running the elections are not acting in an unbiased manner. The CGA complains about apathy on the part of the students , but based upon this election , how much do our votes really count? Correct me if I am wrong , but I was lead to believe CGA stands for COMMUNITY Government Association. If this is true then I believe a re-election is in order , one that truly represents our community - the students! D.D. ©he Botce .- . .

Times-Washington Post Service HACENSACK , N.J. -It was a telling moment in the Baby M case. In a taped telephone conversation played for the judge, William Stern told Mary Beth Whitehead , the woman who was refusing to relinquish the baby he hired her to bear , "You know, you just had to get a lawyer, and he would have said to the judge , hey " Whitehead , crying hysterically, interrupted: "With what, Bill? With what , Bill? ...You hold all the card s, Bill. " The fi ght over the chubby, 10-month old girl known as Baby M is the first in the nation to test the ri ghts of mother and father in a surrogate pregnancy . In dramatic relief , it has shown that the process, unregulated in all states, is stacked in favor of the couple with the income , education and sophistication to contract for the child. The system first failed Whitehead , 29, a high school dropout married to a garbage collector , when it accepted her as a surrogate mother despite tests indicating that she would have trouble giving up the baby and did not prepare her for the parting during her pregnancy . And from the time she changed her mind , at the baby 's birth March 27 , she has been outspent and outmaneuvered by Stern , 41, a Biochemist , and his wife, Elizabeth , a pediatrician who postponed pregnancy for her career and then decided against it for fear of aggravating a mild case of multiple sclerosis . "This case is about class and gender ," said law professor Nadine Taub , who filed a friendof-the-court brief on behalf of the Rutgers University Women 's Rights Litigation Clinic. The trial testimony reveals that Whitehead was warned little, if at all , of the psychological or legal complications that might arise. Once they did , she had few means of dealing with them . Reacting instinctively, she refused the $10,000 fee and fled with the child. While advocates of surrogate child-bearing, including some feminists , see it as "a constitu tional right to procreate ," the economic imbalance that normally accompanies the arrangementthe couple who contracts for the chiid is wealthy enough to pay for it. the woman who accepts is poor enough to need the money- raises the issue of exploitation. Whitehead' s reasons for becoming a surrogate were much like her reasons for wanting to keep her baby. "I don 't have education ," she testified last week. "I don 't have any skills to really speak of. The only skill I do have is being a mother. " The average surrogate-mother candidate, according to a study by Wayne State University psychiatrist Philip Parker , is 25 , high school educated , and married , with at least one child. The infertile couples who hire them tend to be over 30, well educated, and prosperous. In examining the contract in which Whitehead agreed to conceive Stern 's child by artificial insemination and give it to him after birth , mental health experts and lawyers have focused on whether Whitehead was able to give "informed consent "- a legal test of its enforceability. No laws govern the growing industry of surrogate-pregnancy brokering, which has matched as mothers through more than a dozen centers throughout the United States. Each center has different procedures. In Whitehead's case, the Infertility Center of New York ran an ad seeking a surrogate mother in town home Whitehead' s newspaper and arranged for Whitehead to meet with a lawyer for an hour. Taub' s brief noted that "the center benefited financially when surrogates were matched with couples " and that Whitehead should have had independent councel. Joan Einwoher , psychologist who interviewed and tested Whitehead when she applied to be a surrogate, reported that she was "an appropriate candidate " but that "she expects to have strong feelings about g iving up the baby in the end" and recommended that the feelings be explored "in more depth ." Whitehead said she was never informed about the report. The Sterns did not ask to see the report. If they had seen it , Elizabeth Stern has testified, "we'd have asked for more testing . We mig ht not be sitting here today ." Noel Keane, a Michigan attorney who heads the New York center and one in Detroit , said the lawyer recommended by the center signed a paper saying he doesn 't make sense ' that family members," said Smialek, who said he encountered the same problem in New Mexico where he was prev iously state medical examiner. "It 's a puestion of telling the truth and it 's important because people who come in contact with that body need to be aware of the fact that someone died of a contagious disease so they can take precautions. " Morticians and embalmers, some of whom have refused to handle bodies of AIDS victims or have charged their families more for preparation, are also concerned about inaccurate death certificates. "We feel that proper procedures are not being followed and we need to know what we're dealing with in order to take precautions ," said Sally Lowe, secretary of the Maryland State Funeral Directors Association. "Sometimes people may not use the safest practices but they 're more likely to if they know they 're dealing with a contagious disease. " The CDC has recommended that morticians handling bodies infected with AIDS and other contagious diseases, such as hepatitis B, wear two sets of gloves , a mask , protective eyewear, a gown and shoe coverings to prevent accidental exposure to the virus, which is transmitted in blood and semen. "If you take the (Liberace) case as an example," Rosenberg said , "the reason it was caught is . that the coroner said , 'This somebody would die of a heart attack as a result of brain disease. I think you 're going to see more of that" as the virus spreads. If doctors are loath to list AIDS , families and newspapers appear to be even more reluctant to acknowledge the disease publicly in obituaries. Some newspapers defer to the wishes of families and accept their explanation of the cause of death as pneumonia or cardiac arrest or "a long illness. " Washington Post policy requires that a cause of death appear irr all cases, according to obituary editor J.Y. Smith. By failing to list AIDS, Smith said , "you are making a judgment that whatever it was was so awful yhou can 't mention it. " Smith said the number of AIDS obituaries is increasing and that relatives seem less reluctant to acknowledge the disease. Although Chicago ranks eighth in major cities in the number of AIDS cases, the Chicago Tribune has never listed AIDS in its daily obituary columns, according to Kenan Hiese , the paper 's obituary writer. Some families , Hiese said , remain reluctant to admit a relative did of cancer, an attitude common 20 years ago . "I don't like the fact that we never put it in, but we have to take the family's word for it ," said Hiese. "I've suspected AIDS about 15 or 20 times and had people tell me off the record 'yes, he died of AIDS,' but they don 't want it in the paper so I don't put The Games Room in the Kehr Union was victim to vandalism yesterday evening.

' 'What people are expecting a physician to do is to fill (a death certificate) out responsibly so that officials know what the hell's going on , " said Smialek. '"Congestive heart failure' doesn't because mean anything everybody 's heart stops when they die. A doctor who does that is just passing the buck. " Sometimes the pressure to disguise the presence of AIDS is greater when it involves a public figure like Liberace. The cause of his death was revealed after Riverside County Coroner Ray Carillo challenged the death certificate and ordered an autopsy , which confirmed that the 67-yearold entertainer died of an AIDSrelated pneumonia, not of heart failure caused by a brain disease. Not all medical examiners believe that AIDS must be listed on death certificates . "Had this happened in the District would we overstep the physician? Probable not unless we got a lot of flak about it ," said Dr. Carol McMahon , an assistant Washington D.C. medical examiner. "To be honest with you I respect the family 's wishes. If he had been Joe Blow and the family physician had signed him out as anemia and congestive heart failure nobody would ever have known.

This is such a good trick that it makes one wish that Friedrich Nietzsche had gone into coaching. by Michael Healy L.A Times-Washington Post Service First, Sylvester Stallone was "Rock y ", an outclassed pug whose\ chance at the bi g time comes throug h a championshi p boxing match. Now , in Over the Top, he is Hawky, an outclassed pug truck driver whose chance at the bi g time comes throug h an arm-wrestling match. How does this man keep coming up with these ori ginal ideas? Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) is a regular guy with big problems. His marriage broke up 10 years ago , and now his wife is in the hospital dy ing. He has to pick up his snotty 12-year-old son , Michael (David Medenhall), fro m the kid's military school and drive him out to California to see Mom , in Hawk' s rustbucket semi. Along the way they have some adventures , paricularl y when they are being chased by minions oi Hawk' s father-in-law , Jason Cutler (Robert Loggia), a rich bad guy who wants his grandson back.

(Voice photo by Alex Schillemans) Hawk sets his sights on the world arm-wrestling champ ionship in Las Vegas , where he can win a new $250,000 truck , hundreds of thousands of dollars and his son 's love. The ending, suffice to say , is consistent with the stunning originality so evident throug h out much of Over the Top. However , if you can get some sucker to g ive you those 20-to- l odds against Hawk , sell the house , sell the car , mortgage the kids and put the money where your heart tells you to.

The dialogue ranges from the cutesy to the unabashedl y maudlin , and there are some dull stretches leading up to the big match. Director Menahem Golan keeps the camera on Stallone all the time , just as he probably was told to, but otherwise does a competent job of keeping the film moving along . The arm-wrestling scenes are not particularl y exciting , so Golan shoots some of them in extreme slow motion , with sloweddown sound , reminiscent of the dream sequences in David Lynch's The Elephant Man , of all things Stallone here is , well , Stallone.

Some of the ways to beat those old bad day blues by Darcie Scheidt for The Voice Your roommate flings open the door , slams it behind her and furiously marches to her bed and plops down. You ' re not reall y sure what to say or do so you continue to write the rough draft of your composition. "This has to be the worst day of my life! "your roomie unexpectedly shouts. O.K., so now it 's clear why she is so upset . It 's easy to sympathize with her because just yesterday after sli pping and falling on a patch of ice , you swore you 'd never go out in public again. Bad days have a tendency to drag on endlessly, but what 's worse is that they can sneak up and attack at any time and on any day . That s the way the cookie crumbles, "says Karen Rumpp, a junior at Bloomsburg University . Karen knows every day can ' t be good and -so she takes life 's bumps in stride. Karen expaincd thai one bad day began ."When I tried turning on my bathroom li ght and it just didn 't work. " Karen took it upon herself to inspect the fixture and when attempting to change one of the thre e bulbs , the glass covering fell and shattere d on the floor and into the tub. After cleaning up the mess, she picked the glass out of her hand and decided she would leave electrical work to electricians. "I went to the kitchen and began mak ing Kraft Macaroni and Cheese , "Karen continued. "The pilot li ght burned out and to remove the pan I needed a pot-holder. I reached for my roommate 's and it sli pped behind the sink never to be found again. Needless to say I didn 't eat anything that day ." Being nice to others also poses Surrogate mother problems. "I didn 't want to have to talk to anyone ,"Karen said ,"I tried laughing it off , but it wasn 't easy . " Karen takes bad days in stride because she feels they onl y come up once in awhile. She added , "Little things like forgetting my ID for lunch or having a friend tell a guy he's my lustman occur now and then and are easy to accept. But it makes things worse when people find out about stupid things I do because it 's embarassing. " Bad days can also be structured so that one disaster overshadows all others . Junior Eileen Bortz tells of her unfortunate experience two years ago. "I woke early with a terrible pain in my side. I tried to go back to sleep but every 10 to 15 minutes the pain would wake me. " Not being able to sleep was a constant reminder that she should be up and working on her 7 In "in-depth " interviews with two center staffers , Keane said , Whitehead gave every indication "that she would be able to give up the child. " Massachusetts Genera l hospital Pychologist Phy llis Silverman , who has done extensive research on mothers who give up children for adoption , says these women often feel "a shattering disruption of (their) sense ot identity . ...usuall y, the bonds of connectedness are not known to most peop le. They are unaware of their own need to care and of the power of relati onshi ps in their lives. " "We cannot permit surrogate mothers to be used as machines to produce babies and then toss them out afterwards , " she added. "These women are incapable of understanding the impact that surrendering a child will have upon them until they have a living, breathing baby. " Eileen came out of surgery okay and was glad the doctors caught the problem in time!

Times-Washington Post Servise It' s easy to miss as you roll through this little pumice-mining town in the Sierra Mountains on the eastern edge of Yosemite National Park , but there is a high school here. Dwarfed by the rise of a snowcovered, pine-dotted mountain on one side and the magnificent expanse of blue water that is Mono Lake on the other , sits a modest , yellow building that blends with the grocery store , the restaurant , the trailer park , the cluster of motels , the string of gas stations and the dozens of homes on the banks of Hi ghway 395 that make up the town staked out by prospectors Leroy and Dick Vining in 1852. On a second pass , you might notice that Lee Vining School (only 41 of the 63 students are hi gh school students) prides itself in at least a couple of its sport teams. The field beside the school is buried under snow , but there are goal posts standing along with one blocking sled and two sets of bleachers that would seat, oh , sixty people on each side if those people huddled together against the chill. But this is basketball season . Better known in these parts as ski season. Last Saturday , Lee Vining played the last basketball game of the season on a sunny but cool , afternoon. The game was postponed from Friday night because of a snowfall that made for ideal ski conditions. One of Lee Vining 's nine basketball players skipped the game to go skiing. "At least he's not a starter , but you see what we're up against ," Coach Mark Chaplin said with a shrug. Now , you can see how Lee Vining High School came to have the distinction of being the only school in the Califorina Interscholastic Federation with a girl on its boys basketball team . And that girl , Jackie Chesley, is a starter. Burt Umstead , athletic director of the school , saw a 5-foot 7-inch person with a good attitude and good grades happily swishing 15-foot jump shots in the gym one day , and that was good enough for him. Chesley, one of the school's two foreign exchange students , explained to him that she had learned to shoot like that while playing netball at a girls ' boarding school in New Zealand. Umstead explained to her that under federation rules, because Lee Vining had no girls ' basketball team , she would certainly be made welcome on the boys basketball team. Then he explained it to the coach who , according to this evolving legend , cringed. OK , he admits that he wasn 't real hot on the idea when he first heard it , but that was before he saw her shoot. "I really didn 't have to be talked into it once I saw those 15-footers hitting nothing but net ," Chaplin ,said. Chesley shoots him a teasing glare and counters : "He was appalled! Appalled!" She grew up in Tokomaru Bay , a small community on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand , an area rich in the Maori tradition. She didn 't learn to speak English until she was four. After three years in a girls' boarding school , she ventured all around the world for her senior year in high school , knowing only that she 'd be in California. She would live with people she had never met in a town she had never heard of. And then to be the first girl in the state to play for a boys basketball team? Facing fans and newspaper reporters? She certainly never intended to do anything like that. But she figures it all fits in with the spirit of the exchange program. This is about new and dif- ferent experiences . She's not supposed to be careful of carrying a low profile. One of the requirements before she was chosen for the program was a proficiency in public speaking. She has presented, for the Lee Vining community , a slide show and lecture about New Zealand , complete with a demonstration of Maori dance. She is also a confident young woman who makes nearly straight "A's" and is taking a college physics course by correspondence from the University of Califorina , Berkeley, because she would like to be accepted to the Royal New Zealand Air Force to study electrical engineering . Very ambitious. And, Coach Chaplin was pleased with her serious approach to learning basketball. It was clear to him from the start that she was not doing this as a lark . They knew that she was a natu ral athlete after she made the first team all-league in volleyball in her first season of play ing the game. Chaplin said , "She 's a good shooter and a good passer, but best of all, she's coachable. She 's not really quick enough to play man-to-man, so when she 's in the game, we play a zone. But she plays hard and she does j ust what you tell her to do. " "She 's always paying attention , always aware of where everyone is on the court, so the second she gets the ball , she knows where she wants to pass it. " There 's no flash to her game , however. She certainly is not a dominant player against the boys. But she averaged 8 points a game and was second on the team in assists because she wasn 't afraid to take her shot and she was quick and sure with her passes. When she started playing with the Lee Vining Tigers , she had to learn dribbling and defense and rebounding. On the court , now , she looks like she might be making an instructional film. No bad habits from the playground , no ad-libs. Just what Chaplin has taught her. ' 'It did take me a little while to feeHike I really knew how to play the game, to get comfortable with it ," Chesley said. "And I had to wait for the other players to get confidence in me. " "It also took some time for me to get into condition to play a fullcourt game. In netball , no one plays from one end of the court to another. " Chesley drew a diagram showing which zones netball players are allowed to play . And she added: "It makes a difference, too , to play up here. I'm from sea level. " Lee Vining is 6,781 feet above sea level. She was a little afraid of how much roug her boys basketball might be , but she found that the boys did not rough her up at all. If anything, they backed off. None of the players ever said anything to me, but sometimes I would hear them say to each other , 'Don 't think of her as a girj ! Just play defense. ' " Most of the time , Chesley has had plenty of room to shoot. In a couple of games, when the defender has been ordered to stay right with her , she has simply run up her assist totals. On those rare occasions when she does get a bump or when she does get dumped on the floor , she just jumps back into the fr ay . Her only injury this season was a sprained ankle, but it was minor. Saturday , Lee Vining lost to Big Pine , 76-34. Chesley played the entire game, working as hard as her overmatched teammantes to keep her head up. Big Pine, the league champion , finished the season undefeated. Lee Vining finished 11-11 in its firs t season in CIF. Chaplin called it the best team at the school in ten years. John Williams helped lead the Huskies over the Rams last night , assuring BU of a playoff spot.

They showed Craig Stadler kneeling on a towel to execute a shot. Viewers immediately called the PGA switchboard to inform officials that Stadler had broken an obscure rule. The callers didn ' t need to look at six differnet camera ang les of the towel. Stadler was immediately stripped of his $37 ,333.33 purse , although he did save himself the price of dry-cleaning those pants. Do I have to spell it out for you , Pete? Round up a crew of television-golf fans and let them rule on your football rep lays. They could do it from their liv ing rooms , saving you travel costs. They wouldn 't even call collect. They 'd do it for free . their reward being the satisl 'a ciimi of seeing justice done. Then , when these folks have cleaned up the National Foolhal! League , we'll turn them loose on pro wrestling.
