Governance draws fire by Susan Hanshaw Staff Writer Rats , like the one above , are used for experimentation by Dr. Alex Poplawsky at Bloomsburg University . Poplawsky is using rats to study the behavior of brain-damage victims. (Voice photo by Karen Trimbath) Rats used for research by Karen Trimbath Staff Writer The Learning Lab , located on the second floor of the McCormick Building , is being used to observe the behavior of brain damaged rats , which may then be app lied to human therapy . Since October . Dr. Alex Pop lawsky , a member of BU' s psychology department, has been researching the effects of the drug Gang lioside in brain-damaged rats while performing activities. He has researched the septal area of the brain for 15 years. A small division , surrounded by the cortex in the center of the brain , the. septal area is involved in motivation and emotion. Poplawsky noted that the septal area is anatomicall y similar in both humans and rats . There is another reason why he works with rats. "I removed the septal in some of the rats using electrolytical lesions. Because their septal areas are small and isolated , it is difficult to lesion other brain nuclei. " After Poplawsk y removed the septal, one-half of the braindamaged rats were injected three to five times with the drug Gang lioside, which may facilitate learning. This was done one to three days after surgery . The other brain-damaged and normal animals were injected with saline solution. According to the professor , behavoral observation is very complex. "You can 't isolate one experiment. Instead , you must look at a series of behavioral observations. " His current research has gone throug h severa l phases since October. It has taken place in the Learning Lab , which houses the animal colony , the observation room , the equi pment room and and the psysiolog ical psycholog ical lab , where the surgery is done. Pop lawsk y and his three student assistants initiall y started by wei g h i n g the a n i m a l s and measuring the rats ' drinking. Performance levels in activities such as rearing, or standing, were then recorded . The research team found that five to 10 days after surgery , the brain damaged and normal rats showed similar levels of activity . However , after 10 to 60 days , the activity levels of the control group increased , while those ol the brain-damaged rats went down. One experiment involved placing both normal and braindamaged rats in separate chambers and making them press a bar for pellets for a half-hour. On a fixed response rate , the rats had to learn to wait 60 seconds before pressing the bar , instead of doing it many times. "One human application would be to look at obsessive, com- two weeks before the opening of Congressional hearings into the Iran-Contra affair. The special Senate panel voted Tuesday to grant immunity from prosecution to former national security adviser John M. Poindexter , a move that would compel the Rear Admiral to testify about conversations with President Reagan on aid to the Contras during the congressionally ordered stoppage. A panel spokesman said committee members had been polled informally. The House panel is expected to vote on the matter Wednesday. The Pentagon official Tuesday said that the Defense Department had again overlooked the Yellow Fruit account last month when CBS questioned the Pentagon about reports that Army units may have set up foreign bank accounts in connection with the private effort to aid the Contras. On March 18, Pentagon officials responded to CBS inquiries by saying there was no evidence of any Army involvement, the official said. But when CBS returned with the number of the Swiss bank account , the Defense Department checked further and determined that "there was some substance to the report. " CBS reported Monday night that the names of North , Secord , and retired Army Warrant Officers William T. Golden and Joel M. Patterson , both formerl y associated with Business Security International , appear on the account. It said the information raised new questions about the involvement of the Pentagon in the Iran-Contra affair. Publicly, the Pentagon declined to discuss the CBS story in any detail Tuesday. Robert B. Sims , the Pentagon 's chief spokesman , said only that the Army and Pentagon are "looking into the issues raised in the report. " "Secretary of Defense (Casper W.) Weinberger was unaware of any such activity . Neither he nor Secretary of the Army (John 0.) Marsh approved are authorized anything remotely like the activities described in the report. If there are any improprieties , we will endeavor to discover them and take appropriate actions , " Sims said . He added th at the matter has been referred to the office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh , which has begun an investigation into the matter. In a related matter , retired Air Force Lt. Col. Richard B. Gadd met with congressional investigators on Monday and provided a comprehensive picture of how millions of dollars was spent in support of the Contras in Central America by the private network directed by North and Secord , according to an informed source. Gadd , whose companies were involved inthe resupply effort , described "weekly, if not daily " contact with North and Secord , the source said. The. committees are working an the assumption that former Central Intelligence Agency Director William J. Casey will not be able to testify as a result of a grave medical condition following brain surgery in December. But investigators want to verify that Casey is too ill to awnser ques- In a business , companies must consider the views of consumers who can help to shed light on existing problems in a product. This is the analogy used by senior Sean Mullen to describe the need for better student representation on the univers ity Governance Board. At the meeting, which was held in the university Forum , approximatel y 100 faculty members and 20 students attended to discuss the redraft of the Representative Assembl y (RA), which is the board 's governing document. The redraft , devised by Vice Presidents Dr. Daniel Pantaleo and Royce Johnson , is argued by many to not adequatel y include faculty and students in the decision making processes of the Governance Board . After reviewing the redraft , one faculty member asked , "Where do faculty and students fit into the decision-making body? " In the discussion concerning the redraft , a variety of viewpoints and suggestions were made known. One grievance broug ht forth by Dan Morgan L.A. Times- Washington Post Sevice A Swiss bank account set up in 1983 by a secret Army intelligence unit called "Yellow Fruit " may have been used later by Lt. Col. Oliver L. North and retired Maj . Gen. Richard V. Secord to finance arms shipments to the Nicaraguan rebals , a Pentagon official said Tuesday . The official, who called the account at Credit Suisse Bank unusual" and "hi ghl y "unauthorized , " was unable to say whether any Defense Department money was channeled through the account during the October 1984-October 1986 period when most direct U.S. military aid to the Contras was prohibited. Yellow Fruit operated as a front company called Business Security International in Annandale, Virginia , in 1983 according to military sources . It performed counterintelligence and security tasks for secret Army missions , including electronic eavesdropping operations against guerillas in Central America , the sources said. Business Security International was shut down in late 1983 after allegations of financial misconduct by some members. The Pentagon official , who discussed the issue on condition that he not be identified , acknowledged Tuesday that the existence of the Swiss account had been overlooked during a subsequent Army investigation of the unit. The Pentagon disclosures, which confirmed much of the CBS report Monday night , come Mullen said , "I do not feel that students are asking a lot to have one student representative on the Curriculum Board ." Mullen suggested that students might shed light onto matters of which faculty may be less familiar. In response to Mullen , faculty members Roy Pointer and Barbara Behr said that the decisions made made by the Curriculum Board should only be made 6y the faculty , because they are better informed on what students need and are required to have. Behr further commented on the decision making by saying that although some decisions will be handed down with little input considered , many other decisions will be made with the recommendations of the committees in mind. One other issue discussed was the time when the redraft will be voted on by the faculty . Senior expressed Jill Lipp incott dissatisfaction over the fact that no official time was set for students to react to the document between the time it is voted on and the time it is presented to President Ausprich for final approval. specification document. According to Joseph Quinn , purchasing agent for the university, most of the technical specifications were prepared by Wayne M. Clickner , the food management consultant for the State System of Hi gher Education. Quinn said , "Generally, we had a big evaluation , and we rated the companies, giving them a certain amount of points for service , managers , and commitments of improvements. At the end , Wood came out on top. " Jennie Carpenter , director of Residence Life, said she was very pleased with the contract. She said she wanted a company that would allow more student input. "The company will meet with a general student committee of on-campus resident students who use the dining hall more frequently on a bi-weekly basis ," Carpenter said. pany will be running on a fiveweek menu instead of the sixweek menu used now. Carpenter also wants to provide more variety in the deli line. She said ,"I think people are getting sick of hot dogs everyday in there. I want to try to get more hamburgers and other fast food items in there. It may not be the most nutritious , but it is what the kids want. " BU changes f ood service by Joseph Cullman for The Voiec Beginning June 1 , the Scranton Commons will have a new dining hall food service. Service America Corp., who has had the current contract for the past five years, will be replaced by the Wood Company, Pyramid Food Services Management , Inc., of Allentown. The University invited 21 companies to bid on the contract; ei g ht submitted a bid. The bids were based on an 88-page Army account linked to Contra Aid See RATS page 3 was the new document provides for a parallel structure of decision making. That means that the decisions are made by the members of the higher administration and handed down to the faculty and students. Although the standing committees could make recommendations to the administration , their imput doesn 't have any binding impact on the final decisions. In response to the lack of input , Professor Robert Rosholt said , "This is not governance. This is just a group of people which gets together and talk. " Rosholt further explained that he thinks the new draft is the best compromise there has been in a while , but advocated that there still existed the need for better representation of students. Students were in favor of a movement toward a horizonal structure for decisionmaking, which means that the recommendations made by the standing committees would affect the final decisions made by the administration. One specific example brought up by students was the exclusion of a student representative on the Curriculum Committee. tions. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye , DHawaii , chairman of the Senate committee , said he was "sensitive " to Casey 's privacy but the committee has a "responsibility " to verify his condition. As to the Swiss bank account confirmed Tuesday , the Defense official said that there was still no "documentary evidence " that North and Secord were tied to the account. But he added that there is "information " that would lead us to suspect that they were. According to CBS , $2.5 million was withdrawn from the secret account in one day in 1985. The network reported that the $75,000 was used to charter a frei ghter that carried arms to the Contras , whose U.S. weapons had been cut off. The Pentagon official said Tuesday that it is unknown how See ACCOUNT page 3 Two of the other schools Wood Company serves are Allentown College and Kutztown University. Carpenter said she spoke to some of the other schools that Wood Company serves and "they have nothing but praise for them. They weren 't the lowest bid but I feel it was the best choice. " "It was a good bid , and we're quite satisfied . It enables us to keep costs to the students low while providing quality food ," Carpenter added. Some of the changes Carpenter hopes to make with Wood Company include providing a menu with more variety . Wood Com- Lecture details audit by John Sweeney for The Voice Students received an overview of the how the state system of education works and the role of auditing in special education during a, lecture Thursday night William Murphy, an educational advisor in the Bureau of Special Education of the Pennsylvania Department of Education , mentioned the new Secreta ry of Education in Pennsylvania , Thomas Gilhool , and cited some of the programs Gilhool is working with. The audit , which is conducted by a team of parents , college ad- ministration , superintendents , principals and the educational advisor , investigates a program "Basically what we do is a paper review to make sure guidelines are being followed ," Murphy said The group makes sure the program is running smooth ly and goals are being accomplished. They do this by randomly interviewing teachers and going through IEP' s and evaluation papers . There are 29 Intermediate Units which are audited twice a year. The presentation given by Murphy was sponsored by Intermediate Unit 16. Another possible idea will be to make another deli line on the 'B' side of the Commons. "I always see a long line on 'D' during lunch and they do take in the most people ," said Carpenter. Wood Service also plans to extend the hours for lunch and dinner. Carpenter hopes this will alleviate the rushed feeling many students get when dining during peak hours . This will allow students to come eat during later hours without worry ing about missing the entree for the meal. The contract also calls for 'theme' dinners and events such as pancake day or make-yourown-taco day , as well as special meals for holiday s, Carpenter said. Carpenter expects to have one served meal a semester instead of once a year , at Thanksgiving, as it is now. According to Carpenter , the contract also allots $75,000 to the University to make renovations in the Scranton Commons and the Kehr Union Snack Bar over a three year period. Carpenter plans to redecorate See FOOD page 3 Index Men 's and Women 's tennis teams continue to win. For story , see page 8. Student directed plays : start tonight in the Forum. Story page 4.

WEAPON? i 1^ Contra glorification askew Editor: After reading Paul Mellon ' s misrepresentation of the Contra 's, I felt compelled to write a more factual letter of response. I have come to realize , especiall y in the last year , that there exists an alarming number of Americans whose only source of information is the newspaper and television , and the extent of their blind faith in the media ' s misrepresentation is staggering. Had I read Mr. Mellon 's article last year , I too would probabl y have believed what he wrote about the Contras. But w h i l e stud y ing the Nicaraguan conflict during the Honors Humanities Seminar last semester , I became more aware of and informed about what is actuall y going on in Nicaragua and how the American public is being mani pulated and misinformed by the politics of the media and the Reagan Administration. My research was based mostly on first-hand accounts of journalists living in Nicaragua , Nicaraguans , members of the Sandinistas and members of the Contras. I cannot guara ntee that all of my information is 100 percent factual , but at least it represents a more well-rounded and fact-based view than did Mr. Mellon 's Contra glorification. Since the days of the Spanish conquest in the 16th Centu ry , and until the revolution in 1979 , the Nicaraguan economy had always been externall y oriented. Foreign powers were constantl y fighting for control of the country because of its strategic location and the amazing benefits that could be reaped in the export of such abundant goods as coffee , sugar , cotton , beef and gold. Nicaragua fell under a phenomenon known as dependency, a situation in which the economy of a weaker nation is externall y oriented and the government is controlled by national and/or international powers that benefit from this economic relationshi p. The rulers of a dependent society do not see the common citizen as a consumer that should be satisfied , but rather as a source of cheap and easily exploited labor. Such was the case in Nicaragua , where external oppression and exp loitation had been a way of life for centuries. The situation steadil y worsened as the U.S. government imposed its dominion first by direct armed intervention (1912-1933) and later through the client dictatorshi ps of the Somoza family (1936-1979). During this time , the average Nicaraguan lived in inadequate housing, ate poorl y, and had little access to education , health care , and other public services prior to the 1979 revolution. Several uprisings against the puppet , pro-U.S. reg ime occurred in the early 1900' s to rid Nicaragua of the U.S. forces , but the Americans could hard ly permit an overthrow and risk losing the financial support of the New York bankers. So, under the pretext of protecting U.S. lives and properties , the U.S. Marines were sent in and re- Editor: The Greek System. Is it competition... is it jealousy ? What has gone wrong? We always thought sisterhood meant a common bond between not onl y sisters of each sorority , but of the system as a whole. It is standing behind each sorority throug h their rise and fall , which includes when one is starting to rebuild. We, the sisters of Delta Epsilon Beta , don 't understand why, after semesters of receiving your sympathy and support , are now so anxious to hurt us. Rumors have started spreading and questions have been fly ing. None of which are accurate and/or called for. We'd appreciate it if you would get the facts straight and stop talking off the tops of your heads!! Each sorority has a different type of pledging and whether it be difficult or easy just doesn 't matter. We don 't pledge a sorority based on that , but on where we best fit in. Just remember , the motto is not "follow your friends " or "follow the easy pledging, " but "follow your heart. " Also , all pledging activities are private to each sorority and no one should go around asking pledges what they are doing or what they have done in the past at any time during pledging. It is that sorority 's business. We have the best pledge class we could ask for. Is it fair to to these girls , who have done nothing wrong, to be subject to such bad attitudes? What a fine impression they are receiving of the greek system. We needed a change this semester , as sororities have in the past , and we got it. We now have a group of g irls who have brought in new ideas and are willing to help us rebuild. So why try and ruin that? We know there are a lot of people out there rooting for us. We just wish the sororities we thought were our friends would have the same positive attitudes. It may not be any sorority as a whole. It only takes a few girls with bad attitudes to ruin a good thing . We hope that in the future any misunderstandings can be cleared up before things get out of hand . We hope that we can all be proud of each other 's pledge classes , especially the 37th pledge class of Delta Epsilon Beta. The Sisters of Delta Epsilon Beta First and forever Sisters speaking up mained in direct foreign military intervention until 1933. The Somoza dynasty was founded by Anastasio and successively ruled by his sons , Luis and Anastasio. During its rei gn the dynasty massacred hundreds of people and amassed a great family fortune at the expense of peop le Nicaragua 's and economy . The U.S. kept its stronghold on Nicaragua through the Somoza reg ime into the 1970' s. With the abuses of the Somoza reg ime came the rise of the Sandinist Front of National Liberation (FSLN). Dissent and the FSLN grew until , in 1978, the murder of an internationall y reknowned newspaper editor was the cata lyst for the war between the FSLN and the Somoza dynasty . In 1979, when the FSLN looked as if it might finally overthrow the U.S. regime, the U.S. removed Somoza and the Sandinistas took over. The Carter Administration , in an attempt to gain back a hold in Nicaragua , offered them economic aid with strings attached . In 198 1, Reagan terminated what little economic aid there was and signed a directive authorizing the CIA to spend $19.8 million to create an exile paramilitary counterrevolutionary (contra) force in Honduras to harass Nicaragua. Althoug h the economy had been growing under the Sandinistas , the increasing Reagan attack pushed Nicaragua farther behind its debt and , by 1984-85 , they were forced to turn to the Soviets for most of their petroleum needs and later for additional aid. In short , the Soviet-fearing U.S. created a self-fulfilling prophecy by forcing the Sandinistas to turn to the Soviets—it seems the U.S. can only see events in Nicaragua without seeing what caused them. Lisa Breg ler Editor 's note An open forum was held Thursday to allow students and faculty the opportunity to voice concern s about the proposed governance structure for Bloomsburg University . The structure is being revised and will soon be put to a vote of the faculty for approval. The governance structure is not the topic of this note . It should be because of the importance of this structure in determining the direction of education at Bloomsburg . Thoug h approximatel y 15 students attended the forum, most of these were seniors who will soon be graduating. Should the underclassmen at this school have some interest in the future of their education and this university , it is hoped that they will begin to realize the responsibilities that come with being a student.

ETERNAL LAWN FUNERNL R&RLCR„, Let's stop legalized murder Editor: In response to Bob Bailey 's editorial , the word morall y defined means the doctrine of right and wrong, among other similar definitions. The problem with your statement "The people concerned should decide for themselves whether or not abortion is morally acceptable " is that we all have diffe rent views of morality . That rap ist definatel y had different morals than you or I have. The person living in poverty has a totally different view of morality than the wealthy person who has everything he ever wanted. A person from the big city , who is surrounded by rape , murder and crime dail y, is certainly going to have a different set of standards than the person from a small rural town. •» Addressing the statement "It 's a question of quality of life as opposed to just life ," who is to say what constitutes a quality life? Surely not the victim of rape with her damaged mental capacity . What I view as a quality life will probabl y not be the same as your view. Suppose someone believed the mentally retarded don 't live a quality life , but rather just life. Should we terminate the entire population of mentally retarded . That , like aborted , unwanted pregnancies , reeks of the holocaust. While we are at it , let 's enforce euthanasia and for that matter, do away with senior citizens. Sure- A flea and no parking Editor: I realize that complaints about the parking situation have become the norm in The Voice, and some may even say trite . However , before this situation is put to rest , at least one more aspect of the parking problem here at Bloomsburg should be addressed. week , the This past Bloomsburg Players presented the play A Flea in Her Ear." Desp ite good reviews and publicity , turnout was not nearly as it should have been. One problem is that people have such a difficult time getting a parking space up here that they decide not to come. What I really don 't understand is why for all the Artist Series shows and programs parking is restricted after 5 p.m. around campus so there is ample parking for the patrons wanting to see these programs. I believe there is lacking on the part of the individuals who do not decide to provide the same courtesy to those wishing to see the school' s own productions. Many students and faculty members devote much time and work to putting a show on in Haas. The least the school could do is to show the same respect for its own productions as it does for outside productions . I sincerely hope something will be done about this problem in the future. Louise E. Ruane ly they are not living a quality life. They have only raised , taught , fed , nurtured and loved us to the point where we can take care of ourselves. What kind of a moral society would we have if we extinguished these lives, Bob? Finall y, Bob, you totally avoided the ten-year-old's description of abortions. Saline abortions are injections of salt into the fetus ' sac , resulting in a miscarriage of the fetus. The fetus ' skin is shriveled up and burned black like the skin of a burned chicken wing on a charcoal grill. Another method you eluded to is to enter the womb and dismember the fetus. Then , with a suction device , suck the dismembered parts out. The parts are then put back together , like a child's puzzle , to make sure there is nothing left inside the womb to cause infection. Both these methods t'ake place during the first trimester. There a-re a host of other methods. The problem is that people think of abortion and only think of a terminated pregnancy . They never see or hear of the gruesome, inhumane techniques used. Maybe if you did , Bob , you wouldn 't be pro-choice , pro-abortion. Society has an interest jn its members and thus restrictions must be put on them. That is why abortion is not just an individual's decision but a decision that affects everyone. Unfortunatel y, Bob , the Supreme Court agreed with you in their decision of Roe vs. Wade and as a result , millions of murders are committed every year , LEGALLY. Brian A. McDonald Give us Good Friday Editor: First , I would like to make it extremely clear that I believe in attending classes. I paid for them. I chose to take them. I want to be there . Secondly, I do not look for excuses to miss classes (e.g. "...the sun was out for the first time in six weeks " or "...I was out too late the ni ght before and won 't recover until next week, by which time I'll be in a similar condition , with a similar excuse "); if I miss a class , something has generally come up which seriously prevents or deters my presence in class. However , there is one day which Bloomsburg University , even though State run , has chosen to ignore . I am referring to Good Friday . I know , I know , they say that it will cut into the session , that it will take time away from the students ' learning experience. They say that it interrupts the week. How dare Christ have the gall to choose to die for the world on a Friday . Better he had chosen a Monday and not inconvenienced the administrative , bureaucratic Ones. Does the statement "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar 's, but render unto God what is God' s" sound familiar? Then there is the inadequacy of the administrative rationale—oh yes , there is an attempt at rationalizing if you happen to stop arid think about it. However , the system is counting on the fact that many won 't and the people who do chance to think about it probably won 't question the logic or the values upon which they base their logic. There are viable possibilities. We were given ten days for spring break. Why not subtract one day from there and give us Good Friday ? If that is not palatable , why not give us Good Friday and take the extra day at the beginning of the semester that is designated for settling in and buying books? Not to insult anyone 's intelligence, but lo and behold , we could even add a day to the beginning or end of the semester. Any administration which condones and allows professors to cancel classes for seminars , which were held to instruct professors on the art of being better educators in the classroom , can certainly observe Christian tradition and allow students to exercise the reli gious freedom that they are guarenteed . Give them the privilege to honor the most solemn and sacred day of the year , the-day Christ died. Rita T.

The bridge which brings so much trouble to all the students who live on the wrong side for now. Hopefully their problems will be over soon.(Voice photo by Alexander Schillemans) Possible erosion closes bridge by Lisa Cellini Staff Writer The East Bloomsburg Brid ge was recently closed pending further investigation of possible pier erosion , according to the Press Enterprise. Erosion of th ree to five feet around the second pier from the Bloomsburg side caused local authorities to close the bridge on April 9. Divers were unable to examine possible scouring damage lasl week because of continuous rains that flooded the river. On Tuesday and Wednesday , conditions were safe enoug h foi divers to be lowered into the water to check the pier footings. A remote control video camera called the ROVER was also used to examine the state of the brid ge , but m u r k y waters prevented its effectiveness. A report of brid ge conditions will not be available for several days. If the extent of the damage is as great as some authorities fear , travelers will have to wait until the new brid ge is completed in October and continue using the detour to the Catawissa Brid ge. According to BU student Warren Boyer who lives at Wonderview , "the detour probabl y adds ten minutes to the tri p to school. " Karen Wondaloski of BU also added . "Of course it ' s a hassle , but at least I' m alive considering the Milton Bridge incident. " about , " Horstmann said. Poplawsky believes the benefits are on several different levels. "The students are exposed to the process of discovery, teaching them to become critical thinker s . It is research in progress in their own disci p line. " There are also field benefits , such as publishing the results. "Contributing to a body ol knowledge exposes it to criticism and replication. " Pop lawsky said the reason he is researching rats is to improve human condition. "The fault of the basic researcher is working onl y the face value of the e x p e r i m e n t , " Pop lawsk y said. "You have to believe it hel ps humans , to bettar understand human behavior. " Rats part of lab experiments From page 1 pulsive behavior , such as washing your hands many times , " Poplawsky said. Now the team is study ing what central mechanism in the brain influences fear. A few days ago, the rats were given very minor shocks , comparable to "rubbing a foot on a rug. " "To the rats , it is an adversive learning situation. If they 're afraid , they won't be active. They freeze ." The rats are observed for a half-hour to see if they will move back and forth . Poplawsky finds that the brain-damaged rats learn very well. "One explanation is that since they 're not afraid , their concentration is better ," Poplawsk y said. A conceivable human application is understanding how fear is a motivator in behavior , such as in phobias , which are abnormal fears , and the total lack of fear , seen in psychopaths. "If a way is found to decrease fear in rats , clinical psychologists may be able to come up with suggestions to decrease fear in humans. " The professor said that there has been no final analysis of the data because the team is still in the process of collecting information. According to Poplawsky, the rats are treated well , given water freel y and enough food to maintain their body weight. He stressed that he does not give the rats strong shocks . His three student assistants are an integral part of the team . They get involved in every aspect of research , including literature research , collecting data , and analyzing the information.

If the two shows have anything in common, it is the fact that both break the traditional mode of drama and delve into themes and concepts previousl y unexp lored. "In the sixties , there was a revolt against 'safe ' drama , " Morgan says. "Those types of shows weren 't relevant anymore . The sixties was a time of searching and a time of anger. What these plays try to do is exp lore that anger and frustration. " Thoug h the shows focus princi pall y on relationshi ps , the story line does not rel y on the tradi tional boy-g irl conflict, but on other types. " 'Birdbath ' basciall y exp lores problems people face in a relationshi p, " Weible says. But, he added , do not be fooled by the fact that the show was written in the sixties. "These problems. " Weible says, "even exist in current times. They are not just the ob- vious male and female conflcits , but also things like motherdaug hter problems. " In "Birdbath , " Steve Sunderlin play s the disillusioned Frankie , a young man who meets Velma , a frag ile young woman played by Diana Eves , for the first time.

" Staff Writer 3 Jfe*}j &r4 Ann Bond , advisor of the newly formed alumni group says that along with word of mouth , many students just happen to notice the U pward Bound sign on the door and come in and talk about their experiences with the program. "The alumni group was approved last December , " says Bond , "Sy lvia Lawrence who student teaches now , worked hard to get the program started . " The alumni would also like to get a Big Brother/Big Sister program initiated for the incoming Upward Bound freshman. Each member would write to the new student over the summer and in the fall , help them adjust to campus life. Other goals of the program include fundraisers , scholarshi ps , and free tutorial service. "We would also like to see the alumni active in recruiting hig h school students into the Upward Bound program , " states Bond. With about 30 members , the Upward Bound Alumni program is making progress.. "The more peop le we have , the more we can accomplish , " remarks Smith .

" "When I was an Upward Bound student during my hi gh school summers at Bloomsburg University , " says sophomore Deb Marconi , "college students had no idea why hi gh school kids were taking classes at the university . " Marconi , who comes from Ringtown , a small community nearby, wanted something to occupy her summers . Participating in the Upward Bound program gave her an eventful summer, and at the same time hel ped prepare her academicall y for her next school year. Althoug h Marconi did not receive credits for attending classes , during the six week class periods she learned a lot. "U pward Bound was a good experience for me , and when I learned about the Upward Bound alumni program , I decided to see what they were about , "says Marconi. The Upward Bound alumni program involves BU students who were in BU' s Upward Bound program or similar programs at other colleges or universities. For Yolanda Smith , who was part Oi Drexel University 's Upward Bound program , it was also a positive experience. "The program gave me opportunities to see colleges , participate in cultural activities , and at the same time prepared me for school. She mi g ht not have taken part in these events had she not been in Upward Bound. Floy d Walters , who has been an Upward Bound instructor for the past six years , speaks hi ghly of the program. Walters explains that there is a totall y different atmosphere and approach in the six week summer program as compared to a regular school year. "It 's a hig hl y academic program , but also informal , " says Walters , "Students call teachers by their first names , which is something I wouldn 't feel comfortable with during the regular school year. " Walters has attended some of the U pward Bound a l u m n i meetings and feels that they will provide much help to the Upward Bound students.

What , then , makes the convertibles so desirable and so darn fun to drive? In my opinion , it is the fact that when you are riding in a convertible everyone is looking at you and wishing they were you. Debate as you will , this is the true answer. Convertibles have that special appeal that turns heads. I know from experience that ragtops g ive the d r i v e r a superiority attitude over all other motorists. As with the Bond Buggy , it did not matter that I had only a .9 liter motor and the power to pass nothing but the slowest VW Beetle. I didn 't care . I had a convertible. I know that other open-car owners feel the same way , whether or not they admit it. Thank Mopar for bring ing this feeling back to us. A few years ago , Chrysler reintroduced the ragtop to the American market. It was based on the K-cars , the Aries and Reliant. It was the first Americanmade convertible since the early seventies when the insurance companies became tired of making settlements on stolen radios and other desirables. At that time it appeared that open cars were a thing of the past. Now look at them. There is a convertible version of many of the car models available in the United States. We have ragtop Japanese models for the first time. Renault offers its family-car Alliance model in topless form , transforming transportation into fun in the sun. For the driver who loves snagging mosquitoes out of the air with his dentures at high velocity , Ford offers its Mustang G.T. and Chevrolet has its for- midable Corvette . Open cars are regaining the popularity they once had. One of the most spectacular convertibles was the famous Ford retractable. The 1956 retractable was actually a hardtop which , by use of creative engineering and plenty of hardware , mechanically opened the trunk and stored the top there . The top did not fold , bend or mutilate , it just went there . The muscle cars of the sixties were all offered in soft-top versions with only a very few exceptions. These are very collectable today, but back then onl y a minority of buyers found the added weight of the convertible option worth the performance loss. Yes , convertibles are heavier than hardtops. The roof of a car is an important structu ral piece. By removing the top, additional crossmembers and heavier frames are needed below to make up for the loss. That is wh y, though , they are beautiful to look at , ragtop GTOs , Cyclones , Chevelles , 'Cudas and others are not as quick as their hard top counterparts . Hardtops are a little faster but topless is the onl y way to go in the summer. It looks like the convertibles are here to stay and I think we can all be grateful for that . They are the most fun you can have in a car with the wheels tu rning and not too bad when the wheels stop on a moonlit ni ght. Sorheday I may even buy another. Oh , yes ! I almost forgot , the Bond Buggy retired after picking up an antlered , white-tailed hitchhiker.

Events and entertainment will begin at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning. The schedule of events is as follows: by Stacy Dimedio Staff Writer Livingston Taylor Bloomsburg 's 10th annual Renaissance Jamboree will be held this Saturday April 25, 1987. The day is packed with activities and professional entertainers as well as local performers . Entertainer Livingston Taylor will be appearing this year. Taylor 's musical repertoire consists of rock numbers , country and folk tunes , and slow ballads. He plays his guitar in a clear , traditional fashion and uses "knee-slapping banjo playing " as a personal and creative touch. Livingston Taylor has opened for groups such as Jethro Tull , Linda Ronstadt , and Air Supply. Taylor enjoys being out on the road and touring. He has also appeared on some major talk shows , including The Tonight Show, and Features Editor You 've heard of bird watchers, clock watchers, and people watchers. But I'd like to discuss an entirely different category of people. They are what I'd refer to as mailbox watchers. Yes, that's right , mailbox watchers. And I bet there isn 't anyone out there who can honestly say that they have never been a mailbox watcher. A mailbox watcher is a person who is subjected to endless days of looking outside a window and anxiously awaiting the mailman's arrival. I can remember familiar days of straining my ear to listen for the sound of the mailman's truckthe truck that alway s went by without stopping at my house. The reason I'm writing this is because I know that soon enough I, along with most other BU student , will be forced to await the arrival of those second semester grades. I can see it now . On the day that I arrive back in my hometown , sure enough I will check the mailbox for my grades. Of course I know that they won 't be there, but I feel compelled to look anyway . And needless to say , more than one peek a day in the mailbox is not always enough. Why .who knows, maybe there's the remote chance that a friendl y carrier pigeon found a quicker route and delivered the grades. This kind of reasoning leads mailbox watchers like myself to check the mailbox routinely. Often , students who are expecting their grades to be the pits can be seen rushing hurridly 'to greet the postman. Even if they know their parents will eventually see the sad results of a fun-fulfilled semester, there is something about being the first to glance at the disasterous results that eases the pain. This manic routine usually lasts until grades arrive a couple of weeks after the semester has ended. And usually the only good that has come from the practice of constantly waiting for the mail is that you and your postman on a first name basis. But , it is not only the students who foresee bad grades who can be found checking to see if the mailbox flag is up or down. No, receiving that pink transcript is a constant thought on the good students mind too. For some reason, having the transcript and actually being able to look down Reflection of freshm an days Visitation guidelines to benef it roommates by Dana Pettinato for The Voice It was 11:25 Sunday night when suddenly the phone rang, and Sue Archbold received a long distance phone call. The visitation hours quickly passed by Archbold, a student living in Elwell Hall , while her boyfriend was still in her room. Archbold was written up for signing her boyfriend out of the dorm at 11:40 p.m. "I didn 't even think about the time while I was on the phone . I couldn 't believe I got written up for a 10 minute mistake, " says Archbold. The visitation hours at BU are enforced. The visitors are to be signed out of the dorms by 11:30 p.m. on week nig hts . On weekends, there is an extended visitation policy in which a visitor is allowed to spend anytime in the residence halls from Friday through Sunday evening at 11:30 p.m. Staying in the rooms does not include cohabitation. "Cohabitation is when the visitor , of the opposite sex , actually sleeps in the student ' s room , " says Linda Fyla, assistant director of Residence Life. This is prohibited. Ed Valovage, resident director of Luzerne Hall , says, "The interest of the Residence Life staff is in the other roomate. " If a guest is infringing on the rights of the roommate, such as privacy and an academic atmosphere, that is where cohabitation becomes unlawful. Valovage also wants the students to know that they "are just trying to insure the rights of the student, not to impose values and morals on anyone ." Mike Coates , a resident advisort in Luzerne Hall , says, "It is very hard to enforce the cohabitation policy . The onl y way to enforce it would be to knock on everyone's door to check on them. " Lisa Diefenderfer , one of the resident advisors in Schuy lkill Hall , a co-ed residence hall , says, "I constantly find guys in the girls ' rooms, and a typical excuse is 'he 's just leaving . ' " One problem with extended visitation is the opposite sex using the bathroom facilities. "No student has come in to Residence Life to say that there' was a problem with people of the opposite sex using their bathroom , or we would do something about it ,"says Zyla. But Pam Plimpton , a resident advisor in Columbia Hall mentions, "There have been several problems with guys using the girls ' bathrooms. " Robert Norton , the dean of student life , says "The visitation policy has not changed in quite a few years. " Norton also adds that "parents like to know that their sons and daughters are protected by the more strict visitation policy ." Students are constantly discussing a more liberal set of visitation rules. Zyla states , "Residence Life is open to suggestions about any of the visitation policies. Students have to realize that the requests have to be realistic. " Valovage claims that "with the policy the way it is now , the students best interest is of primary concern , and that . is the philosophy of Residence Life. " at the letter gVades makes a person finally realize that they did not spend an entire semester study ing in vain. When the grades finally do arrive , they have visual proof to attest to their efforts. While I am impatient when it comes to receiving my final grades , I do realize that professors need the time to correct those finals that everyone spent the last week of the semester cramming for. But I can 't help from remembering the good old days of grade school when report cards were handed out in homeroom. Back then , there was no guessing game of when the grades arrived. But then again , back in the good old days we didn 't take finals either. Band from page 4 The band prefers performing their own material rather than play ing the role of "human jukebox. " Redeemed 's opening track titled , Mask in the Mirror, sets the mood for the rest of the cassette from the first drumbeat. Fastpaced playing and a catchy tune make this one of the bands most memorable songs. The following song, The Blessing, written by Reese and BU graduate Erik Kehs, tells the somber tale of a young girl' s desire to be forgiven for a terrible sin. Buzzing guitars and throbbing bass combine to make this song another good example of the group ' s musical craftmanship. The remaining four tracks , All My Skeletons, Town Fool, Roll the Bones , and Dreams of Bluer Sky , all exemplify The Blessing's consistent sound. Powerful instrumentation and creative songwriting throughout all six tracks bring a unified feel to Redeemed. If The Blessing 's redemption is what you think you need , their cassette is available by mail for $5 postpaid, from: The Blessing, Box 1491 , Bethlehem , PA , 18016-1491. For an even better sample of The Blessing's powerful brand of rock'n 'roll , they can be seen and heard at Airport Music Hall's Club Pascal tonight at 9 p.m. Posters will be placed on campus giving directions to the concert .

He assisted on the first goal and scored the other for his team to send the Bloomsburg University men 's lacrosse club to a disappointing 2-1 loss yesterday at Nelson. Playing without the services of excellent goalie Brian Reddish , the Huskies had to throw Mark Burkholdcr in at the last minute to play even though he never played goalie before . "He did very well , they scored on him earl y, , but didn 't get anything after he had a chance to settle down. He had six saves , " Coach William Acierno said after the game. "The defense did a tremendous job today with a green goalie. I thoug ht Mike Taggart was going to score a goal the way he was play ing. He , Niel Weiler and Greg Tobias all alli gned themselves well today on defense , " Acierno continued . The game 's first goal came quick onl y two minutes into the first quarter as Steve Sours scored on an assist from pesky Joe Wolf. Minutes later Wolf scored himself unassisted to put Wyoming up 2-0 at the end of one. Bloomsburg 's Chuck Zwicker then answered back for the Huskies as he scored onl y 25 seconds into the second quarter. That pulled BU to within one 2-1 and that is where the scoring ended. The Bloomsburg offense seemed to strugg le sli ghtl y as at least five of their shots hit off the crossbars and bounced away. "May be we ahoukl have aimed for the crossbars and then they would have gone in , " mused Acierno. "It was a tough game to lose because every time we got our offense going we would lose momentum through a missed pass or bad throw , we really beat ourselves today ," he continued . "We seem to play to the caliber of the team that we are play ing, for example , against Muhlenburg, a much superior team than Wyoming, they challenged us and we beat them (7-6), unfortunately today we played below their (W yoming 's) level and we lost. " he concluded . Acierno also noted that he thoug ht that Jeff Clouser played an exceptonal game , was a very agressive middie and is always consistentl y good . The lacrosse club now moves to 6-4 and will be hosting Penn State University a week from today at home in their final game of the season.

He ran the race in a time of 15:26. Dan Young also ran an outstanding 5000 meters , running it in 16:14 , good enoug h for seventh place , while Larry Meckes ran a 16:58 in the same race , but , unfortunatel y neither was able to qualif y. Dan Netting, however , in running the steeplechase (3000 meter run) was good enough for second place and the men 's team 's second state conference meet qualify ing time. Competing in the 10000 meter run , Crai g Koch took third place in the event running it in sli ghtl y over 33 minutes. His time enabled him to qualif y for the state meet. B l o o m s b u r g 's own John Walker returned to form as he was able to hit 6'5" in the high jump and land him a spot in the state meet. While Bruce Linton , who already has qualified for states in the decathlon , also qualified for the tri ple jump as he took third with a jump well in excess of 44 feet. The men 's team hurt by injury and illness is now 7-2 on the season. The women 's team had an outstanding effort out of its 40G meter relay team. The team of Carol yn Brady , Noele Collura , Ly n n e R i t z and M a r i a n n e Fidishin were able to pull out a first p lace victory in the event Anne Murray then teamed up with Collura , Ritz and Fidishin to take a fourth in the 1 600 relay. Ritz and Fidishin also had qualif y ing runs in the 100 and 200 meter dashes respectivel y. In the 800 meter run , Tamara Trione ran close to a 2:24 while by Vernon T. Rochester In the past year you may have noticed a walking mountain on the Bloomsburg campus and thai mountain is Al Royster. Standing six foot four inches tall , wei ghing in at 275 pounds and able to run a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash , you wouldn 't exactl y want' 'this particular : Tiiotihtain come tumbling down on you. Royster plays defensive end for the Bloomsburg University football team , and in his first season here , onl y his second year of football ever , he has made a definite impact on the defense. Al is like a diamond in the roug h , and because of his size , speed and strength , al has the potential to become the most dominant defensive player which this league has seen in years. All he needs is some game experience to obtain that level of play ," said head coach Pete Adrian , someone who expects great things of Royster. The 23 year old Royster didn 't play his first year of football until his senior year at Keyport Hi gh School in Keyport , New Jersey. "I didn 't come out until my senior year because I didn ' t like having to practice. " exp lains Royster. After hi gh school graduation , Royster bypassed college football and worked for a few years. "I finall y decided to try out for the New York Giants , but I didn 't make the cut because I lacked playing experience. So one of the coaches said I' m still young , so I should go to college and play some ball ," Royster said . Chris ; Gross is a long time friend of Royster and plays defensive tackle for Bloomsburg . He said , "I told Al that he would reall y like our progra m and that he should come up and check the school out. " Well , check the school out is exactl y what he did and Royster said he liked the program and the school' s atmosp here so that is why he decided to come to Bloomsburg. In just his first year at Bloomsburg , Royster finished ninth in the points standings with 93. The points are based on tackles (55 - 29 unassisted) , fumbles , both caused ( 1) and recovered ( 1) and sacks (1) . Gross exp lained that Royster has allowed the flow of the defense to stack on one side because teams won 't run to his side. Royster said , "I really would like to improve on my pass rush and would like ot lead the conference in sacks and tackles next year. " With the physical attributes that Royster possesses along with the hi gh expectations of coach Adrian those goals seem very obtainable all the time with th e New York Giants in his si ghts. ty, gets its money.

"We want to listen to the people of Denver carefull y, and put things in and around the game that would add to its dimension. I think this is going to be a whole lot of fun , and I' m pleased that we got what I beleive to the best schedule.

' 'Tell them to bring a jock and some sneakers and come on down , " said Shlenker. Details of the tryout and a name-the-team contest will be announced at a Thursday press conference , Shlenker said. The Denver team is to open its six-game schedule June 20 at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago against the Chicago entry in the first of its three televised games.

COCAINE.THE BIG LIE. 1-800-662-HELP FTL Dedication is the key by Mike Mullen Sports Editor Bloomsburg University has a great number of excellent sports programs. The field hockey and softball teams are consistentl y in the top five ol the nation. The w r e s t l i n g team finished the year with an impressive fifth place at nationals. The young basketball teams both showed signs that they will be forces to be reckoned with in the near future . The football team lost two games, both to the two teams that would play for the conference champ ionshi p. Even the soccer team was able to overcome a horrible start to finsh over .500 for the season. What all these teams have in common are the dedicated athletes that practice every day and give so much to each sport . What our very successful track and field teams do not have in common with these teams is the commitment of all the athletes. At first 1 was not convinced that there was a problem with dedication on the team. I mean , they were still winning weren 't they ? Well there was a problem. When you start to get the results of each meet and see the same names at the top every meet and some names that you onl y see every other meet or once and done , you start to realize that somebody is getting lazy . Let me clarify myself. I know that there are very many of those members who put a lot of time into their events and believe me. it shows. People like Bruce Linton , John Walker , Brenda Bisset and Jill Cicierski are examp les of these hard working members (there are more , too). These veteran members are good examples to the younger team members such as Laurie Alexander and Anne Murray . It 's just hard for a person from the Lehigh Valley , where track and field is as bi g as wrestling (if not bigger) and is taken very seriously, to believe that a group of hi ghly talented athletes take their skills for granted and do not work to improve them. Some valley high schools were so up on track and field , that they were disappointed if they didn 't go undefeated or send at least four people to states. I wish that this was the same attitude that every member felt. If it was they would be unbeatable , but it 's not. This is the main reason for my concern with Bloomsburg 's team. Their combined record s are 13-2 and still Coach Ron Puhl insists that they are always short-handed . He must not be content with just winning the meets, I guess , he must actually asp ire to destroy his opponents . He would have made one hell of a good coach in the Lehigh Valley .

The recurring question of just when to retire by Rich Kauter for The Voice- Sitting in front of a television set , in a sports arena, or a stadium , young boys and girls everywhere dream of making sports their profession. This world where most are hasbeens by 35 is attractive not merel y because of the glory and fame that these short term fantasies provide. The sports world rarel y prepares its professionals for the quick climb , the whirlwind attention and especiall y their rap id fall. This decline from greatness to nothingness is a pathetic si ght , one that every athlete is determin- ed to avoid and at which every admirer cringes. At the peak of an athletes career , he is surrounded by the media and admiring fans , seeking his time , picture, autograp h and what he thinks is important. What he says is quoted. People want to know what he eats , wears and likes. He beg ins to think that this is what his life will be forever. He becomes used to the feeling of triump h , raising his hands in a sign of victory to the cheering of the crowd and being carried off the field on his teammates shoulders . They raise him hi gh in the air as if he were a king on a pedestal. What happens when the spotli ght fades? The cheers are now heard only in his memories. Slowl y, too slowl y, the athlete realizes that he is replaceable, that his record s are breakable. His pride takes a severe blow , one from which some never recover. Mohamad Ali thoug ht he was less human than most , he felt he could stop age . As his body got heavier and his moves slower, in his mind he was still the beauty boy with the moves of a butterfly and the sting of a bee. To others , he appeared foolish. Likewise to see Pete Rose , a player who was admired if not for his talent , at least for his pride , all but beg for a team to let him play was as painful to his fans as it was perhaps for him. Then we have the saga of Franco Harris. Perhaps Harrte should have taken a lesson from his teammate Terry Bradshaw , who after an injury , was not even taken on team trips, a player who holds many rushing redords and who led his team to four Super Bowl championships, is now not as versatile and therefore not as valuable. Harris felt he could still hold out for big bucks. Quickly he found himself without a chance to break the all-time rusing record . Whose fault is it? The team 's? The media 's? Ours? Everybody loves a winner. These individuals who as children sat and idolized others who dedicated their lives to their sport , eating, sleeping their dreams , must now step aside and let the new and young through. They must be willing to become ghosts of nostalgia. It is only when they hold onto the end that their memories are tainted with embarrassment. by Dave Sauter runs. Two more were added by Kim Vogel. Also scoring for BU was Sue Kocher, Cindy Freeland, Kim Fey , Lori Pisco , and Donna Grauppe. Bloomsburg opened up the game scoring three runs in the first inning . They added one in the second, and four more in the third inning. The Huskies finished the scoring with three runs in the seventh inning. Every would-be star should be forced to read a poem called ''To An Athlete Dying Young. " It states that it is better to die in the midst of glory than to live to see the glory fade away . I won 't go so far as to say that the athletes should die young, just that maybe they should, well , retire? Softball survives a tough weekend, dropping 3 of 5 Sports Editor The Bloomsburg University men's lacrosse club was defeated yesterday by Wyoming Seminary by a 2-1 score. The Huskies were plagued by poor shooting as at least five of their shots hit the crossbar an bounced (Voice photo Jim Loch) away. For a complete story see page seven. The Bloomsburg University softball team ran into some hard times over the weekend as the Huskies lost three out of the five games they played. They had entered the weekend with a 23-4 ledger. On April 17 , Friday , the Huskies played host to the Pirates of Seton Hall University . But in a tough game, the Huskies were defeated 3-1. The onl y Bloomsburg run was scored by Kim Fey in the second inning. The next day found the Huskies play ing host to East Stroudsburg University in a doubleheader. Things began to look a little bit brighter as BU swept the Warriors, with two shut-out victories. In the first game, Cindy Freeland's run in the second inning was all the Huskies needed as they prevailed in a 1-0 victory. Susan Kocher picked up the wellearned win. The second game was all Bloomsburg as they routed East Stroudsburg 1 1-0. Kate Denneny led the Huskies as she scored four Finally, on Tuesday , the Huskies had to make the tri p to Shippensburg Uninversity where they were swept by the Red Raiders . In the first game, Susan Kocher did not have her best stuff as she absorbed a 7-1 loss. The only Bloomsburg run was recorded by Lori Guitson in the sixth inning . The second game found the Huskies on the short end of another 7-1 score . This time, though , it was Gina Lindenmuth taking the loss for Bloomsburg . The Huskies' only run was scored by Jean Miller in the second inning . For the season , the Huskies stand at 25-7 .
