Along with fame , the approximately 6000 students of BU have brought some problems to the quiet little town of North-East Pennsylvania. "Two are the major factors : noise and vandalism ," Larry Smith , chief of the Bloomsburg Police Department , said referring to the comp laints he and his office receive on a daily basis from the town 's citizens. " When asked about the investigations on the latest act of vandalism against Dr. Harasym 's office on Sesame Street , Chief Smith said , "Let 's put it this way, if I was a betting man I'd bet on the students . " Smith exp lains that the closeness of the vandalized office to the path which connects Sesame Street with the university campus and the fact that when the university is closed for breaks no vandalism acts are registered , clearl y point toward the student bod v. "The worst thing is that all the cases are alcohol-related , these incidents do not occur during events where alcohol is banned , like the Homecoming Bonfire ," Smith said. "I've never known of a sober kid walking over cars parked along the street , " he added. About parties in which al ;oholic beverages are the main attraction , Smith said , "All the fraternities , sororities and other places where parties are regularly held are play ing Russian Roulette with four bullets in the gun." Smith explains that nothing will change until a serious incident occurs . Smith said he believes students "must gain common sense" and learn to ' 'police their peers. '' He also revealed that vandalism is not the only reason for concern , "reports of rapes and beatings are not rare. " Smith , who has been in Bloomsburg for 19 years and who has been chief of the local police department since 1979, also expressed his fear for the tragic possibility that some local citizen, tired of being the target of vandals , would "lose their minds" and react violently. ' 'More responsibility must be given to the students , " Smith said. He suggested that students should be the object of much heavier punishments. "If you (students) are arrested for vandalism, under-age drinking or any other charge , you (student) should be kicked out o school ," Smith said. He also said that landlords should immediately "put the students on the street " if parties with alcoholic beverages are held in their houses. "Somebody must have the courage to do it," Smith said. Smith explained that local police departments cannot do more than what they are doing. "New laws and more enforcements must come from the leg islators. The new governor (Robert Casey) can help it ," Smith said. Smith also believes that the problems caused by the students are an obvious consequence of the "easy way of life" most of today 's teenagers experience. He also added that most of the pro- blems could be eliminated by putting heavier responsibilties on the shoulders of students. " "When I went to school , with mandatory classes and need to work, I couldn 't afford to go out and drink ," Smith said . Students have say in menu by J. Barbush Staff Writer Students with menu concerns about the Scranton Commons should contact a special 7 to 10 member student group called the Food Service Club. The Food Service Club is composed of 1 Resident Advisor from each dorm, as well as, anyone interested in the club. The basic of the club is to act as a liason between students and management to try and solve any problems students may have, in addition to , planning special events . The club speaks with students about what they like and dislike about service and menu. Bill Koch , student director of Schuylkill and chairman of the club , explains ,"If there is a complaint , you should tell the managers or the workers about the problem so that it can be changed. Most people will just complain to their friends , which gets them nowhere. Some of the past events set up by the Food Service Club include: Steak ni ght , Fast Food night , and chopped ham at the salad bar. Students view USA/USSR Spacebridge via satellite by Sharon Getty for The Voice The USA/USSR Spacebridge together faculty broug ht members, students , and the local media in the Forum Room in the McCormick building The discussion , viewed at Bloomsburg University on April 8, focused on "The Role of the Media in Current Relations. " The two-hour Spacebridge program, which was designed by the Center for Communication, Inc., originated simultaneously from the Masonic Auditorium in San Fransico , the sight of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) convention , and a broadcast television studio in Moscow. This spacebridge teleconference on Print and Broadcast journalism was the first of its kind to have audiences in multiple interactive locations. Two additional studios in Boston , Massachussetts, and Tblisi , the capitol of the Soviet State of Georgia , were connected by fully interactive , live satellite transmissions. Bloomsburg University was among over 50 American universities that had the opportunity to view the Spacebridge event from a satellite downlink facility, with only Penn State as the other Pennsylvania university involved in the event . According to James Tomlinson, associate professor and Chairman of Communication Studies at Bloomsburg, this was BU' s first attempt to utilize satellite communication for educational purposes. The San Fransico-Moscow teleconference was headed in the US by ABC World News Tonight anchor and senior editor Peter Jennings, and in the USSR by Soviet State Television and Radio commentator Vladimir Pozner. Among the American print and broadcasting journalists that comprised the San Fransico panel were: Seymour Topping , director of editorial development and former managing editor of the New York Times; Stuart Loory, senior coorespondent and former Moscow bureau chief of the Cable News Network (CNN); and Elizabeth Tucker, a staff writer for the Washington Post. Members of the Soviet news media participating from the Moscow studio included: Alexander Shalnev , a commentator from Izvestia; Yurii Tschekochikhin , a staff writer for the Literary Gazette and Tengiz Sulkhanishvilly, a TV correspondent who appeared via satellite from the interactive Tblisi site. "I' m always distressed by how little we in this nation know about how the Soviet press really operates. I can only assume that a similar situation exists among our counterparts in the USSR ," suited Jennings. "Because we in the media play such a powerful role in helping to influence public opinion , this open dialogue, which goes beyond party lines, can only make a contribution. " A great majority of the USA/USSR Spacebridge teleconference was dedicated to the discussion of the recent attempts to "open" Soviet society . "Glasnot," the Soviet policy designed to initiate "openness" in the Soviet society is also providing greater freedom for Soviet journalists . "We have succeeded in being silent in a very professional way ," said Sulkhanishvilly, "now we are learning to be heard in a professional way ." Editorial comment appearing in the Soviet newspapers has , traditionally, criticized only domestic matters. The question was raised by the US media panel as to whether there will be a move to comment on broader subjects. "There are no forbidden subjects," said Pozner in response to the US panel 's question , "and nobody in our society is free from criticism." Other topics discussed during the teleconference included: The role of the media in current relations with regard to the types of investigative journalism practiced by both countries; The overall role of the media in US and Soviet relations: and the stereotypes each country has of its counterpart. "In the Soviet Union , the public does not believe the stereotypes of the Americans. They know that this country is different , " said Loory . "The Americans, however, believe the stereotypes about the Soviets that they receive in the media , and I believe that something has to be done about it. " Commenting on US and Soviet stereotypes , Tucker said , "Fundamentally, we (Americans) believe that yours has been a closed society for a long time. Once your country opens up more, most of our stereotypes will be dispelled. " According to Tucker, news and a clear and understandable view of Soviet life are not abundant in the textbooks of the US schools, which Tucker claims only helps to perpetuate the American ignorance of the Soviet lifestyle. In light of the recent changes in policy occurring in the Soviet Union , Topping said , "I think , on the whole, that the American press is eager to take a fresh , new look at the Soviet press. " Audience members who participated in the teleconference directed their questions which pertained to current US/Soviet relations to panel members, and audience counterparts. Among the subjects raised were 'Irangate' and the US Embassy controversy . According to Jennings , the US/USSR Spacebrid ge teleconferences will be broadcast in the US on a public broadcast station. Pozner , Jennings ' Soviet counterpart, stated that an edited version of the two-hour program will be seen on Gosteleradio , which Pozner claims has a viewing audience of close to two million people. Following the teleconference , John Maittlen-Harris, Chairman of Mass Communications said, "I thought that the US/USSR Spacebridge was very interesting. It was a good attempt to compare the two svstems." Index lacrosse Women 's defeated Slippery Rock , Kutztown but failed to overcome East Stroudsburg. For the full story, see page 8.

WERE FOUR, *Kr wems Put blame where it belongs Editor: Throug hout the year , I have listened to the population of Bloomsburg, including Bloomsburg University students, staff , and faculty , argue over the parking problem here at BU. The more I hear, the more convinced I become that there is no problem with the space provided for parking. The cause of this dilemma appears to be cvervone who parks at BU. The University has parking f a c i l i t i e s at the T r i - L e v e l . Bloomsburg Hosp ital parking lot. and around McCormick. How can all this space not be enoug h? Point one: the space is not enoug h because students do not want to follow the rules of this campus. Freshman students are instructed not to bring automobiles to the campus and not to bring them to Bloomsburg. vet thev do * Since these freshmen do break the university rule , they can not legall y park their cars in the BU parking facilities. So. much to the understandable dissatisfaction of Bloomsburg residents , freshmen park their cars on the street. Point 2: off-campus students who live near campus drive to classes, even on warm , sunny days. This is not against university rules , but it should be. No capable, health y BU student should have any trouble walking 7 to 9 minutes from his or her house to a class a half mile away . Point 3: Students who have a leg itamate reason for driving to BU seem to be lazy. The object of the "driving game " here at BU seems to be to determine which students can park closest to their classrooms. This "driving game " creates problems between students and staff . No one wants to have to walk that extra few minutes to class. Point 4: faculty should have the ri g ht to park closer to the buildings than students. The students are basicall y in good health , while many faculty members are older , more vunerable to the cold , in less cardio-vascular health , and weaker. True, many faculty members appea r health y, but age does take it ' s toll. Point 5: a proposal has been suggested involving resident parking stickers . This proposal called for Bloomsburg residents to pay annuall y for a sticker to p lace on their vehicles. Only cars with these stickers would be permitted to park along streets in town. This proposal should be put in the same graveyard as Dr. Parish' s pathetic proposal. Why should the residents of Bloomsburg pay to park cars in their own town? Bloomsburg University created the problem , Bloomsburg University should pay to correct it. So, here is my proposal to correct the parking problem at BU: 1. BU Students should learn to obey the rules. 2. Students within a certain distance from campus should be forbidden from d r i v i n g to campus. 3. Students and faculty should stop competing in the' "driving game ". 4. Faculty should be allowed to park closer to the buildings than students, except in the case of a student who is handicapped. 5. If everyone would learn to be courteous and follow rules , no one would have to pay to correct a problem , especially a problem which does not exist. A freshman who left his car at home Scott A. Davis Editor: you participate to better yourself and contribute to the team. As for the other six freshmen who did not return to the team , the reasons which you failed to state were grades , transferring of schools and burnout. Very valid reasons! In response to your idea of politics in athletics here at BU , I am sure that Mary Gardner and Roger Sanders have many more important things to do than scheme against the various athletic programs , namely the swimming and wrestling teams. I hope that someday you will realize that you get out exactly what you put into something. P.S. - Utop ia does not exist , especiall y in colleg iate athletics. Sincerely, A concerned swimteam member Reagan Era not to blame for the deficit No Utopia in athletics 1 ani writing in defense of B l o o m s b u r g A t h l e t i c s and specifically the women 's swimming program. As a current member of the women ' s swim team , I feel that the program under the past direction of Mary Gardner deserves less than great nothing admiration. I cannot think of a better , more understanding coach in Bloomsburg history who has not onl y broug ht great recognition to the team and its individual members, but to the university as well. The ignorance shown in your letter (a letter from a former swimmer critical of the program) trul y indicates a personality conflict and reveals that you have no concept of a team sport where The Voice will only publish three more times this semester.

The touring company comprises only a small part of Second City, which is located in Chicago. There , at the company ' s .two stage theatre , all of the skits are created and shows are performed by more seasoned members. According to cast member Will Clinger . the touring company is "the minor leagues where we spend one to seven years traveling around the country performing. " Before auditioning and becoming members of Second City , the cast members had extensive training in imrovosation. The current touring members of Second City are Will Clinger . Judith Scott. Christina Dunne. Jeremy Piven. Evan Gore , and Sean Masterson. Laura Wasserman serves as pianist and musical director , and John Holtson is the stage manager. This talented group of outgoing young actors, armed with only six red chairs as props and a minimal supp ly of costumes, combined acting with a little song and dance. The results were humorous satires of many con- It 's a 10 billion dollar a year business , most people have viewed it or at least have had some brush with it in the past. What is it? Pornography, and it is rapidly becoming a growing concern with people. Pornography has become such a growing concern that Thursday night a lecture and film were given at BU. A short discussion on pornography was followed by a film titled Not A Love Story that showed pornography and its affect on people , especially women. The movie showed women who were a part of the porn industry being interviewed. During the interview , most of them said they saw nothing wrong with what they did. But one woman , who at the start of the interview had said that it did not bother her that her lover and her made love in front of people , changed her mind and couldn 't believe what she had done. Most of the women involved feel this way . They are stuck in a position in life. The main purpose of the movie tried to show how pornography degraded these women. A bad thing about the movie was in the way that it talked about the men who view pornography. One woman said that she believed that women have an inner rage about society in them , and men had an inner shame about their feeling to dehumanize women. This is an incorrect generaliza- A member of The Second City National Touring Company performs his comic routine before BU students (Voice photo by Jim Loch) temporary and moral issues. Reli g ion , music , drugs, sex, infidelity , marriage , homosexuality , and government served as the basis for skits which lasted anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. The show began with the cast members entering an imag inary elevator. Then , one man began humming until he eventually went into a hardy rendition of Tlie Sta r Spang led Banner. Other skits such as a medical checklist being completed before p icking someone up in a sing le 's bar and a skit where a man came Squeale r s Corner home to find his lover (who was a male) in the arms of a woman kept the audience in stitches. Of course Second City could not resist the opportunity to poke fun at President Reagan with the recent Iran weapons scandle and the American hostages being held in the Middle East. A commercial for selling hostanges and offering financing had the audience screaming for more . After a brief 15 minute intermission , the cast returned with several improvosational skits. Suggestions fro m the audience were used. In the grand finale , the cast members doped black robes (the type worn by judges) and , calling themselves "The Supremes ", performed a politicall y oriented musical number. As the li ght came on , and the actors took their bows, the air filled with the murmurs of "I loved it! It was great. " The members of Second City mentioned that Bloomsburg University is one of their favorite stops , and the students are a great audience . The Second City cast looks forward to returning to BU f or another performance next fall. tion , since as a male I feel no shame because I have no need to dehumanize anyone, male as well as female . That blatant statement was the only real downfall to an otherwise interesting film. The speaker after the film was Melissa Dyas. Dyas goes around the country speaking out against pornograp hy and the damage it does to women. After the film , she tried to conduct a discussion with the audience , but because of the group being so large , many felt inhibited because of the subject matter. This led to a lack of partici pation . Throug hout the discussion , it was stressed that eroticism is a natural part of our sexuality , While pornography hn \ The difference between the two is erotica shared by two people with love and pornography is a demeaning acion to another , usually through violence for perverse pleasure. I left the talk knowing more and being more aware of pornography in this country. Some other points broug ht out about pornography were: There are four times as many "sex emporiums " as there are McDonald's. Six of the 10 most profitable news stand magazines are male entertainment magazines. The combined circulation of Playboy and Penthouse is greater than that of Time or Newsweek . Eight out of 10 people who purchase child pornography abuse children. Break open those piggy banks Dave Burian For those of you who are planning to move off campus in the near future and head to the domain of beautifu l downtown Bloomsburg. get ready to break open those p iggybanks. Because the pli ght of the college student ' s parking problems on campus continue after the student has reached the age when he/she must leave the grounds of the University and seek shelter elsewhere . The parking problem off campus in the downtown area is a y ^m M^ result of having to purchase a parking permit. This permit costs S18 for three months, while parking permits on campus are given gratis. For that SI8 . you are given a s t i c k e r t h a t goes on the dashboard , and it had better be visible. Otherwise , no matter how familiar your car is to the meter maids or officers that write up tickets , you will receive a happy little envelope denoting that you owe $2. Getting a ticket downtown seems to be related to the weather , as well. There have been days that I' ve gotten two tickets for having parked in the same space (after someone brought the ticket to my apartment , I immediatel y got another one to replace it on my windshield) when it was beautiful outside. But on other days, when it was rainy outside , I haven 't had a pro- *Q/A r rw®> ^^^/V-r . I i TVl -***$£** \i \ H i *'*S3 blem if I didn 't leave my permit prominentl y disp layed on my dashboard. So , it seems that parking downtown can 't be too bad if you can hack the $18. Not necessaril y. Since I live near the post office. I have to fi ght for parking spaces with those delivering packages. Another disadvantage is the nearby Lodges , which often have meetings at ni ght that overflow the parking lots and surrounding areas. And there has been more than one time when I' ve been approached by a policeman when unloading groceries with my flashers on , because it was impossible to park anywhere else other than the "No Parking " zone. In other words , just because you pay to park every three months in a certain area , it mean that you doesn ' t automaticall y get your own personalized spot. But I reall y can 't complain that much , as a parking ticket downtown is only $2 , when any infraction on campus will run you $5. But we make our money anyway we can , right , folks?

" This was definitely apparent during their performance . Besides play ing their own original songs such as Thinking of You , Don 't Walk Away f in Love and Too Late to Fall in Love , they played a wide variety of songs by other artists such as The Hooters, The Cars, REO Speed Wagon , Bon Jovi and ZZ Top. Yarmey explained how the band got its start. According to Yarmey Bloomsburg University had a hand in it. A group of girls at the university were some of the first people to hear their hit song, Where are you now?, which was played with incredible reception from the crowd on Friday . The band has many ties to this area. As Warner put it , "We form a perfect circle around Wilkes-Barrc . In general we describe ourselves as WilkesBerries " This band is on the move with hi gh aspirations. As Warner said , "We won 't stop until we have a number one album. If you 're gonna do something you go all the way ." As of now the band will be doing a lot of recording and a lot of song writing. They plan to go on tour soon , concentrating on this side of the Mississippi , according to Warner. Synch has just completed a documentary video that includes live footage , interviews with the band and behind the scene shots. It is around 40 minutes long . Synch is riding the wave to success and Bloomsburg University was lucky enough to get swept up by the tide during their on campus concert . There's no place like home by Lynne Ernst Features Editor Every time another semester comes to an end , I begin th inking of how much I'll miss this place in the summer. When I entered Vhis college , I remember reading some lines in my freshman student record that really sum up how I now feel . It began , "Your mom will wince the first time you slip and call college 'home .' You 'll probabl y wince a little too . But for four years or so this hill will be home for you... " Yes , the college has been my home since my arrival two years ago. And they 've been great years. BU has . offered me an education , an opportunity . to broaden my horizons , and gain countless friendshi ps. But during Ignorance From page 2 The lamentable truth is that the Superpowers are constantl y playing with the lives and destinies of millions of people in order to win or maintain their markets, get control of or maintain control of natu ral resources and to keep access to cheap labor. Those who brandish the sword of "Democracy " or "Classless Society " do not care about the people in those countries. They cynically use ideology to wage war instead of letting the old wounds heal . The ideologies may be different, but the motives are the same. I think that our money would be much better spent by strengthening the popular agricultural base of developing countries by forming cooperatives where people can work, live and learn together without brainwashing . The Maryknoll sisters who were brutally raped and murdered in El Salvador were carrying out this type of work. This is a good example of how those who are trying to peacefully change the situation for the better are labelled "communists" or "subversives" and then unceremoniously annihilated. Natu rally, we never found who the guilty parties were. Latin America naturally identifies with and admires this country in spite of a long history of neglect , disdain , humiliation and exploitation. There is still an enormous amount of good-will toward the people of the United States in these countries, but their patience and good faith are wearing very the summer months , after only so much fun can be achieved back in my hometown , I find myself longing not so much for the college atmosphere, but for the town of Bloomsburg . Yes, contrary to popular belief , Bloomsburg does have a lot to offer. For those who disagree with me, take a walk (not meant to sound like "take a hike budd y " or "take d flying leap"). Instead I simply mean venture beyond Main Street , and you may be suprised to find that there is a lot more than a university in Bloomsburg. For one thing, for those who don 't know about or haven 't been to the town park , try and get there before you graduate . It offers tennis courts , basketball courts , an exercise course , a walking path , and a beautiful atmosphere for people to enjoy a day . It 's the nicest town park that I' ve ever seen , and the townspeople (better known as 'Townies ' b y students on campus) should take pride in their creation. Or better yet , just walk along the river and realize the beauty that surrounds you. Believe it or not , there 's more to life than trying to find a parking space (Lately that might not seem true , but trust Library hours I The following library hours for the Easter Weekend which begins at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 17 are : April 18, 1987 - CLOSED April 19, 1987 - CLOSED April 20, 1987 - 8 p.m. until midni ght Two coeds, bidding behind dark sunglasses, enjoy the Block Party Saturday.

Mr. Mellon should perhaps consider creating a solid economic base by redistributing the farmlands that the oligarchies of these countries have thoughtlessly swallowed up for themselves. The creation of economic cooperatives makes people more self-sufficient , raises their selfesteem and strengthens true democracy. Latin Americans want the real thing. They have had enough of cheap, cynical, halfhearted imitations of democracy designed to make the consciences of the industrialized world feel free of guilt during Sunday's mass. To support these people in their legitimate quest for a better life can only win friends for this country. This does not mean that one must defend the Sandinistas in the same way that Mr. Mellon defends the Contras, the tattered remains of Somoza's National Guard. This means that in the aftermath of social upheaval, one must help to rebuild these shattered societies and understand that there will be natural power struggles, regardless of ideology. Last, I notice a strong note of paranoia in Mr. Mellon's commentary. "Soon they will be in Dallas, Texas if we don't stop them now," he fears. All I can say in reply is that we have feared the unknown for too long. It is time that we dropped the facade of that toug h guy on the block and began to approach the world with less arrogance and more understanding. The people of the Third World are not the only ones who have something to learn . Arrogance is a terrible, destructive force that can only make us lose everything in the end . I debated a long time about writing this letter, but finally felt morally compelled to use the freedom of speech that I am so fortunate to be able to exercise. I have also decided to remain anonymous. me, there is) . The reason I'm writing this might be because I really enjoy the outdoors and find Bloomsburg to be a wonderful haven for the adventurous type. It has mountains , lots of wild life (by. this I don 't mean BU students), has rivers and streams, and can take your mind of your worries. Bloomsburg , the only town in Pennsylvania , does not deserve the dubbing of 'Hicksville U.S.A' . The pace here may be a lot slower than in New York City , but sometimes peace of mind is better than a p iece of the action . Althoug h the university is like home to me now , it 's the Town of Bloomsburg that g ives me a sense of belong ing.

The smooth, gliding Williams is not unlike Michael Jordan and Julius Erving with his effortless leaping and seemingly endless hang time. The 1986 Slam-Dunk Contest winner, Brian Scriven, demonstrates his explosive leaping ability as well as his thunderous strength during this year's contest. Scriven utilizes the style of dunking along the likes of Darryl Dawkins and Akeem Olajuwon , that is, might makes right.

I*A 1*3M 9 Reflections on the 'fight of the century from page 8 weeks off to review what happened last night , then make a statement to everyone at the same time. " Trainer said Leonard hurt his right hand and would have it Xrayed after he returned home to Potomac in Montgomery County, MD. Leonard 's left eye, which had retinal surgery in 1982, and his right eye, which underwent a surgical procedure in 1984, were not factors in the fight , though there was a small lump under his left eye Tuesday . Leonard will soon udergo an eye examination by Dr. Ronald Michels of Johns Hopkins University , his personal ophthalmologist, according to Trainer. "Talking to Ray I did not get the impression he was ready to get up this morning and do roadwork ," Trainer said. "I have no indication he 's going to do anything different than he said he would - he wanted to come back and fight Marvin Hagler , one fight. V What did Juanita Leonard think he would do? "God only knows ," she said. Leonard 's decision came down to one of two things : quit while ahead , advice he had heard many times before, or fight again , either a. rematch with Hagler or another fi ght against Thomas Hearns , whom he knocked out in a 1981 welterweight championship match but who now owns a li ght heavyweight title. But this time, the decision must be made at what appeared to be a pinnacle of his career that he could not surpass. On the other hand , fighters traditionall y have been reluctant to give up while at the top of their profession. AJ. Liebling put it by Mike Mullen Sports Editor who shot a 402 (80 average) . King 's team had a 417 and Wilkes shot a 420. Scott Griffis lead the way for the Huskies with a 78. Also shooting 78's were Bill Kahres and Dan Kelbaugh . Don Lyman nailed an 82 while John Mulhern shot an 86. The golf team's record now moves to 3-2 after this 2-1 performance at the Wilkes-Barre Municipal Golf Club in WilkesBarre, Pa. BU golfers win two The top three players shot 78's to lead the Bloomsburg University golf team against Scranton , King 's and Wilkes Colleges. Scranton was able to pull out a narrow four stroke victory over the Huskies , while both clubs managed easy victories over King 's and Wilkes. Scranton 's five hit a superb 398 (79 average) to edge the Huskies simply: "Fighters fight. " Back in Las Vegas, Hagler also was a no-show at a press conference , and his trainermanagers , Pat and Goody Petronelli , were not at all certain what their man has in mind for the future. Obviousl y, the Petronellis would like a rematch. "We would like it tomorrow , " Goody Petronelli said. They were highly critical of the judges, and particularly Mexican judge JoJo Guerra , who gave Leonard 10 rounds and had him a 118-110 winner. Dave Moretti scored it 115-113 for Leonard , and Lou Fillippo had it 115-113 for Hagler. "This official here , JoJo Guerra , should be put in jail ," said Pat Petronelli. "He was way out of order ," Goody Petronelli said. "He was inept. " "I thought Leonard outsmarted him , outhit him and was way ahead of him ," said Guerra . Certainly Leonard dominated fro m the opening bell before Hagler began to rally in the middle rounds. In the ninth , Hagler appeared to have Leonard in some trouble as he landed several combinations. But Leonard quickly got his arms up and began to counterpunch. Hagler won the round on all three cards , but more important, Leonard had survived. When Leonard won the 10th and 11th rounds , the fi ght was his. Goody Petronelli knew it too, telling Hagler , "Get him , you need this one bad ." Hagler won the 12th on two of the three cards. Too little , too late . Baseballp redictions from page 8 6. Atlanta Braves- Atlanta certainly didn 't help themselves by not re-si gning Bob Horner. But they did do some good in signing Dion James and Damaso Garcia. Pitching is the big question mark as only Rick Mahler (14-18) is the quality pitcher. So there you have it , all of my predictions for the season which just started not only a week ago. But what good are these predictions if I didn 't give you the playoffs and World Series teams in advance, (at no extra charge) . In the American League, the Yankees will defeat the Rangers in six games to earn their World Series berth. In the National League, the Giants will give the Mets a hard fight , but will fall in seven games as New York prevails. The Mets will be led by the pitching of Ron Darling and the hitting of Darryl Strawberry . Finally, in the World Series , the Mets will set the Yankees back in five games to earn their second consecutive championship. This time, pitcher Bob Ojeda will be voted the MVP as he'll win two games. So there you have it, folks. I know most of you won't agree , being that you 're from Pennsylvania , but I understand , don 't worry. Have a great season , and we'll see what happens in the fall. wfe c^«^>£> ^O ^ ^ 1 CAU 215-449-63l| MICHAEL J. FOX i.
