Iran president denies mining by Norman Kempster LA. Times-Washington Post Service Iranian President Ali Khamenei , in a long and vitriolic speech to the U.N. General Assembly, threatened Tuesday to retaliate for the U.S. attack on what he said was an unarmed Iranian frei ghter in the Persian Gulf by striking at U.S. interests anywhere in the world. "This is a beginning for a series of events, the bitter conscnqucnccs of which shall not be restricted to the Persian Gulf , and the United Stales as the insti gator of the trouble shall hear responsibility for all ensuing events," Khamenei said. "I declare here very unequivocally that the United Slates shall receive a proper response for this abominable act." In his hour-and-15-minute speech , Khamenei left no doubt that Iran rejected the U.N. Security Council' s resolution ordering a cease-fire in the seven-year-old Persian Gulf war. After the Iranian 's speech , Secretary of State George P. Shultz said the United States would "proceed with consultations" to drum up support on the Security Council for an arms embargo against Iran as the "intransigent party " in the war. There was no indication , however, of when the United States would put an arms embargo before the 15member council, although Shultz said he was optimistic that the measure would pass, Security Council sources said the outcome was far from certain. Iraq has announced that it will abide by the cease-fire if Iran will , and so the United States considers Iraq to be in compliance with the resolution. Kham enei, an imposing fiqurc with a bushy salt-and-pcpper beard and wearing a black turba n over his hair, said Iran would neveragree to a ceasefire because a truce would only allow Iraq to rebuild its military might and renew the war. "The only guarantee for the future is the punishment of the aggressor," he said. He declared punishing Iraq to be Iran 's highest priority. Khamenei described the U.S. ex- planation that American helicopters attacked an Iranian ship that it found laying mines in international waters as "a pack of lies." Although the United States displayed photographs showing mines on the deck of the sh ip, Khamenei insisted that it was a commercial ship. reported officially, Foreign Ministry press spokesman Boris Pyadyshev said late last week that the Soviet leader was "still on vacalion." The official Soviet news media, which customarily informs readers when the Kremlin leader leaves the Soviet capital for official trips or vacation , also have not mentioned Gorbachev 's whereabouts in the past month and a half. told that Gorbachev would be available for a presentation they were planning in Moscow, were suddenl y told that he would not be free. Untill this week, Western diplomats here speculated that Gorbachev was vacationing or preoccupied with plans for major events scheduled for later this year, including a U.S.-Soviet summit meeting in Washington. Visitors to the Soviet capital in the past month have been told that Gorbachev is unavailable because he is vacationing, a senior western diplomat said recently. Gorbachev was last seen by outsiders here on Aug. 7, in a Kremlin meeting with American schoolteachers. Since then , various articles and letters have been published under his name, a practice that became common in the days of his predecessors but has rarely been used during his 2 years in office. Two weeks ago, for example , the official news agency Tass released a greeting, signed by Gorbachev , to participants at an international book fair . Last week, a major article under his name was published in the Soviet Communist Parly newspaper Pravaua. "...U.S. battleships attacked Iran Ajr , an Iranian merchant shi p," he said. "They murdered four and wounded three people. The ship has been seized and the crew detained." Khamenei did not say how Iran planned to take revenge for the incident , althoug h his comments inplicd Iran ian-backed terrorism aimed al American installations. U.S. officials said previously that intelligence reports showed Tehran was planning terrorist attacks against U.S. embassies, other dip lomati c missions and military bases. Asked about Khamenei' s remarks , Shultz said: "They have made threats for quite some lime. Of course, wc must have our guard up and be on the alert, but we can t fail to do a thing that we m ust do because somebody throws threats around." Shultz and Vernon Walters, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, boycotted Khamenei's speech. A lower-level U.S. delegation , led by Herbert S. Okun , Walter 's assistant, sat through most of it, but when the Iranian president began his explanation of the Persian Gulf incident, Okun led the American contingent out of the hall. Okun said later: "The false accusations that he made against our country distorts the facts and totally misrepresent our policy. I do not intend to sit by passively when our country is insulted , our president is pilloried and the truth is trampled." Iraq boycotted the speech from the start, and Saudi Arabia walked out after Khamenei called the Saudis "American stooges." Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze did not attend , and Moscow was represented by minor officials. Gorbachev out of public eye by Gary Lee L.A. Times-Washington Post Service MOSCOV - Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has not appeared publicly here for six weeks, prompting rumors that he may have fallen ill. Gorbachev , who makes frequent public appearances and often receives a stream of visitors in his Kremlin office every week, was last seen here on Aug. 7. It is the longest period he has remained out of public view since becoming the Soviet Communist Party leader in March 1985. The West German Bild Zeitung newspaper reported Monday that Gorbachev fell ill of food poisoning while vacationing in the Soviet Crimea and was temporarily hospitalized. The report could not be confirmed and officials reached here Monday dismissed it as rumor. At the same time, however, they told visiting New York Gov. Mario Cuomo that a meeting with the Kremlin leader could not be arranged, giving no explanation. Bild Zeitung also said Soviet authorities were investigating whether the food poisoning may have been an attempt to assassinate Gorbachev , no sources for its reports. Asked why Gorbachev 's apparent departure for vacation had not been The state-controlled press has published a rash of letters and messages in Gorbachev 's name during his abscene, giving a public impression of a flurry of activity in the Kremlin. Tonight, for instance, as the rumors about Gorbachev 's illness began to circulate in Moscow, a commentator began the evening television news by reading two letters from Gorbachev one to architects and the other to West German steel workers. The Soviet leader also has not appeared at several public performances at which he had been expected in recent weeks. Soviet officials expected him to speak at a congress of young Soviet pioneers on Aug. 30, in the Soviet city of Artec, for example, but he did not appear. The following week, editors of an Ameican news magazine who had been tentatively The last time Gorbachev was absent from public view for an extended period was during the early days of the Chernobyl nuclear crisis in late April and early May 1986. Then he did not appear publicly for 18 days. House sets schedule on reduction law by Karen Tumulty L.A. Times-Washington Post Service Somewhat abashedly promising that Congress would succeed where it failed before, the House approved legislation Tuesday that would put the teeth back into the Gramm-Rudman deficit-reduction law but set a far less ambitious schedule for meeting its goal of a balanced budget. The legislation would restore the law 's threat of automatic spending cuts if Congress does not mer ¦ a set of deficit-reduction targets. It passed the House 230-176. President Reagan has not indicated whether he will support the bill. Where the original law envisioned a balanced budget in fiscal 1991, the new schedule pushes that deadline back by two years. What is more, in See GRAMM-RUDMAN page 3 Final touches are being added to Navy Hall's exterior renovation . Future renovations will include accesses for handicapped individuals. Photo by Chris Lowci Navy Hall exterior renovation nears end by Bridget Sullivan Staff Writer While the exterior painting of Navy Hall is almost complete, plans to renovate the interior are not expected to be carried out in the near future , according to Bloomsburg University 's Director of Maintenance Don McCulloch. "Because of (Navy Hall' s) original design ," McCulloch said, "it still works well for its purpose." McCulloch added that some rennovations are needed. McCulloch said that an elevator and a ramp will be added in 1-2 years to accomodate handicapped persons. However, he said the plans for the projec t have not yet been formalized. McCulloch said the painting project, which started in July, should be soon complete. He added that the university is doing the job itself. The building has also been improved by a new landscaping which replaced the pine trees that McCulloch said were too close to the building. Navy Hall was built in the 1930's as part of Bloomsburg State Teachers College's extensive building program financed by Federal funds . The building was used as a laboratory junior high school and , during World War II , was used as a Naval Flight Instructor 's School. It was during time the building was unofficiall y called "Navy Hall ," by which the building is now called . Bomb scare reported Residents of Lycoming Residence Hall were evacuated early on the morning of Sept. 16 for approximately two hours following a bomb threat received by phone at the reception desk at about 1 a.m. Students remained in Kehr Union while a bomb search was conducted , and they were allowed to return to their rooms at 2:56 a.m. after no bomb was found. Vice President for Administration Robert Parrish said the university is investigating the possibilities of putting voicc-activiated tape recorders on residence hall telephones in an effort to see that perpetrators of such incidents are caught and prosecuted. "The students are disturbed in their sleep, their studies are interrupted , and we'll do everything we can to see that it stops," he said. New f ood service makes debut in Commons by Michele Bupp Staff Writer BU contracted a new food service for on-campus and off-campus students which began during the summer term. The Allentown-bascd M. W. Wood Company was chosen from several proposals to fulfill the school 's dining contract when the five-year food service bid ran out last year. According to Residence Life Director Jennie Carpenter all state universities had been instructed by SSHE (State System of Higher Education) to "be open" to new contracts every five years for the purpose of allowing the food menu to be altered to meet the changing interests of the students. Carpenter, three assistant directors of residence life, and a state official proofed the proposals to find a service that would ensure quality food with the funds alloted to satisfy university and student standards. We are a quality institution and wanted to complement this with a quality dining service," Carpenter said. The M. W. Wood Company was unanimously chosen because "the contractwas much more flexible than last year," Carpenter exp lained. For example, the menu changes every five weeks compared to the former food service which practiced a six-week menu cycle. "A variety of food is served ,"added Tom Kresch, assistant director of is a Ume to relax and talk with friends , not a place to run in , gobble up food and run out." Generall y, students have expressed approval of the food served but portion amounts and the speed of the serving lines is questioned. "Going back for seconds is a pain because the lines are so crammed and the servers are busy serving them ," an on-campus junior said. "Giving us more food the firs t time around would help this." added with emphasis. Ail welcomes constructive criticism to his office in the lobby of Scranton Commons, near line A . "I'm doing the best that I can do with what I have to work with ," he added . To accomodate the increasing amount of on-campus and off-campus students dining in the Commons, which Carpenter said she believes can be contributed to the long lines, she is in the process of implementing a plan to widen the serving lines and form a fast-food/del i line to "get people in Another on-campus student said and out faster.

"For one thing, chicken nuggets were served this week. This meets the students ' requests for fast-food items," Kresch said. Also, suggestion boxes are placed around the Scranton Commons for requests. Carpenter claimed that the staffing has increased, employees are more friendly than previously in previous years, and "the lobby is a lot cleaner. I'm sure that makes a difference for everyone." Carpenter said she has received no complaints from students thus far about food content and dining service Photo by H. Kelly except lor concerns for the extended lines in the lobby at all meal times, especially the evening meal. "That's a hard one to solve," she said,"because we're serving 3500 students in a dining hall made for 1200 students." She added, "This is a dining hall, not a cafeteria. Meal time f Bork a wolf in robes by Robert Bailey Staff Columnist This week in Washington, President Reagan sent his nominee for the Supreme Court, Robert Bork, to the Senate for comfirmation. The Constitution states in Article Two, Section Two, Clause Two, "The President shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate shall appoint..Judges to the Supreme Court..." The key line there is consent of the Senate. The Senate must not consent to Robert Bork as a Supreme Court justice. Robert Bork 's political views, in my opinion , are very scary. He has opposed such Supreme Court decisions as Roe vs. Wade - the 1973 ruling that gave women the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Bork was also highly critical of a 1965 ruling that struck down a law which barred coupies in Connecticut access to contraceptives , even couples who were married. Bork was also critical of a 1942 Supreme Court decision that struck down an Oklahoma law requiring sterilization of habitual criminals. Bork views freedom of speech , he wrote in a 1971 Indiana Law Journal article, as applying onl y to those acts that are "political." As far as civil rights , Bork sees nothing wrong with clauses in contracts that prevent sale or lease to "negroes" and sees discrimination in general as an issue not to be addressed by the Supreme Court. Robert Bork is an agnostic , is reported to have had several drinking problems. He was solicito r general under Nixon. Bork was involved with the Saturday Night Massacre" in which he followed Nixon 's orders to fire Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. by Don Chomiak Jr. Editor-in-Chief Pledg ing. The subject has been the center of a controversy surrounding the state law which abolishes all hazing. The law was enacted to lessen the number of injuri es and occasional death s that occur during the "pledging season ." The need for this law is obvious. Having successfull y completed what I honestly consider to be the toughest pledge program at Bloomsburg , (I pledged Kappa Alpha Psi during the spring of 1985) I consider myself qualified to comment on the issue. The abuse - physical, mental and emotional - that is inflicted on individuals desiring the status of being greek should be abolished. It is counter-productive to the development of the individual and often can be considered sadistic. There is no reason for it beyond extending some grudge to be taken out on the next generation of plcbes. This is not to say that pledges should pass without being challenged; but where is the dividing line? What separates challenge from abuse? Tradition is a major part of pledging; a part that should remain if it can meet the limitation s of the law. This is not to say that it has to slay within the limitations of the university 's proposed policy.

In his opening statement, Bork said that he "is neither liberal nor conservative" and that "it isn 'ta judge'srole to legislate a social agenda." Wrong. Judge Bork 's writings and rulings can lead to only one conclusion: that he is in fact an ultra-conservative. A person who has written a» he has on'thc right to privacy, civil rights and liberties cannot be thought of as neutral.

Increased vigilance and spending are in order. The post-deregulation proliferation and then merging of airlines (today nine carriers have 90 percent of the passengers; at 15 major airports, one carrier has at least 50 percent or two have at least 70 percent of the business) has caused financial and morale problems that are producing maintenance and operational problems. Today safety is being purchased by sacrificing service. Delays are inevitable because of the rising ratio of metal to tarmac:The number of planes is increasing much more rapidly than airport facilities. Everyone wants more airports; no one wants one next door. American government is a thickening web of blocking mechanisms , and Americans are increasingly skillful and aggressive in using those mechanisms, principally courts, to stymie action. Los Angeles , Chicago, Miami and other cities need new airports, but there probably will be no major airport built in the foreseeable future . The problem is not money. There is a $5.6 billion surplus in the Aviation Trust Fund - your tax dollars not a work. The money is put there by users of the air system, principally travelers who pay an 8 percent excise tax on tickets. The politics of "deficit reduction" causes the administration and Congress to hoard the trust fund , to avoid adding a drop to the bucket of red ink. This is preposterous parsimony in an air system short of controllers and the remarkable technology for early warning of wind shears, the cause of three crashes that have killed 404 people since 1975. If another such crash occurs because available technology was not purchased, there will be blood on the hands of all those who have made cheese-paring conservatism the doctrine of this decade. Unsound policies, and posturing as a substitute for policy, flourish when the public has irrational risk perceptions. Journalism often manufactures these. Facts about AIDS filter slowly through the fog of media-driven alarm , facts such as reports from the Centers for Disease Control that there is no evidence that AIDS will reach epidemic proportions among heterosexuals other than intravenous drug abusers. Because highway and handgun carnage is constant and spread across the continent , the carnage is not as telegenic or newsworthy as rare air tragedies. We had better wake up soon. The best way to do that is by being informed. Nicaragua isn't easy to understand, but our generation should make the effort. It ought to concern us more than almost any other issue. We need to get involved. I'm not advocating taking to the streets, but picking up a newspaper, finding out about a candidate's stance, a prayer for peace or a letter to a Congressperson before the vote on continued aid. The college students of twenty years ago are a good example for us. They''ve been over glamourized - but their incredible cultural and political force was important. Without them half of the college population wouldn 't be able to vote. Hello, hello, does anyone out there recognize the word vote? Twenty years ago college students made war their issue -1 suspect because they knew they were the ones dying. I hope we inherited more from them than a drug problem and some good music. But journal ism should do justice to the fact that last year the average daily death rate from automobile accidents was 126. The average Sunday toll was probably higher than the 156 killed in the Detroit air crash one Sunday last month. Any politician inflaming public anxiety by declaiming about the "crisis" in air safety should be asked how he voted on increasing from 55 to 65 miles per hour the speed limit on rural interstate hi ghways. That change will have the predictable result of producing far more fatalities each year than will result from airplane mishaps. Suicide and homicide together are, after accidents and cancer and heart disease, the fourth leading cause of American deaths. Guns were involved in 61 percent - approximately 12,000 - of last year's 19,796 homicides. That one-year total of gun-related homicides is nearly double the number of fatalities from all accidents in the history of U.S. commercial aviation. Lawmakers who will not control handguns should not fly around making speeches about air safety. Reagan 's Latin America: a cause for concern Stick to the facts The Contras do not hold an inch of ground in Nicaragua; they do not have widespread support. They are almost totally dependent on the U.S. The logical implications are pretty straightforward. If Reagan 's policy proceeds we will increase our involvement. This losing battle has already taken a toll in lives. It could only be a matter of time before they are American lives. I'm not suggesting turning away from the situation. A Marxist goverment so close to the U.S is a real danger. But it isn't a case of the black hats vs. the white hats. Throwing money and then lives into the jungle isn't going to help. What really frightens me is the response of Americans. Public support for the Contras increased after Oliver North's testimony. More college students wanted to know where to get an Ollie North haircut than wanted to know if he was right. I remember one student saying she wished they would take the hearingsoff television so she could watch her soap operas. Editor 's note This poem on the left ran last issue.

The documents have added fuel to allegations by administration critics that North , the National Security aide fired in the Iran-Contra affair, used the Federal Bureau of Investigation to discredit opponents of Reagan 's Contra program. Sources said congressional IranContra investigators so far have not been able to substantiate such charges. Documents show that at the time of the memo to Reagan the FBI was investigating Terrell for allegedly threatening the president. The investigation ended and no charges were brought against Terrell , who denies that he threatened Reagan. An FBI official said the bureau 's probe of Terrell began independently of North and was prompted by what appeared to be a "very real, legitimate threat." The official said the inquiry had "absolutely nothing to do" with Terrell's anti-Contra views. According to documents released by the congressional panels, North knew of attempts by members of his private Contra support network to uncover derogatory information on Terrell. A former Central Intelligence Agency employee, Glenn A, Robinette, working with North's network, met with Terrell and described him as "extremely dangerous", according to a memo by North. North outlined his concerns about Terrell in memos he prepared in July 1986 for then-National Security Adviser John M. Poindextcr and for Reagan . The president read and' initialed one of the memos. "It is importan t to note that Terrell has been a principal witness against supporters of the Nicaraguan resistance both in and outside of the U.S. government ," North said in the memo sent to Reagan . Testimony and documents from the Iran-Contra investigations have outlined a concerted effort led by North to shield his secret network from scrutiny by Congress and the public. Among other things, North and others misled Congress about the extent and nature of North 's Contra activities. The recently released documents add another dimension to these disclosures, showing that North was also worried that Terrell might provide information to Congress and the press that would expose the network. Robert W. Owen, a member of the private network, said in a January -19, 1985, memo to North ' that ',Terrell "knows' tob much' and" it would 'do ho one any good if he went to the press." He said Terrell "has got to be finessed out." By July 1986, Terrell had become a source of critical information about the Contras to congressional staffers looking into possible illegal White House support of the rebels. Terrell was also providing inform ation to private groups opposing Reagan 's Central America program and to journalists. Less than a month before the FBI began investigating him on the alleged threat, Terrell had appeared on a CBS "West 57th Street" broadcast that in part examined North's secret involvement with the Contras during a two-year prohibition on most U.S. Thatcher supports U.S. actions in Gulf by Karen DeYoung LA. Times-Washington Post Service British Prime Minister Thatcher has voiced strong support for Monday night's attack against an Iranian vessel said to have been laying mines in the Persian Gulf ,saying the defense of merchant vessels is "what we are there to do." "Look, let's get things straight," she told reporters who asked whether she thought the American action would lead to an escalation of the gulf conflict. "If that ship was laying mines in an attack on innocent merchantmen ... the merchantmen are entitled to expect the navies of the world to defend them." Go for the people who are causing the trouble in the first place," Thatcher said. "There is nothing wrong in defending merchantmen. That is what we are there to do." Responding to a separate inciden t in the gulf Monday night , Thatcher called an Iranian attack on a Britishflagged tanker "absolutely outrageous." She told reporters covering her on a tour of the British Midlands that the United Nations ought to "go immediately to an arms embargo" against either side in the gulf war that will not accept a ceasefire." military aid to the rebels. According to North , after the CBS broadscast Robinette was asked to look into "how much Terrell actually knows" about the secret Contra network. North did not name Robinette but referred to him in the memos as a security official for "Project Democracy," the name North sometimes gave to his secret network headed by retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard V. Secord. Poindexter told congressional investigators in his private deposition July 2 that he gave Reagan the Terrell memo because of the alleged threat on Reagan 's life. However, a White House source said that it is highly unusual for Reagan to be informed about assassination threats. In addition , the memoReagan received is largely devoted to North 's account of Terrell's anti-Contra activities and includes the comment that private Contra supporters had been "particularl y helpful" to the FBI in the Terrell investigation. A ..knowledgeable congressional source said investigators remain puzzled by Poindexter 's decision to inform Reagan about Terrell's activities, particularly in light of statements by Poindexter and other aides that they generally spared Reagan intricate details of his policy initiatives . "There is certainly a question about why they would bring this kind of thing to the president," the source said. Terrell , who now works for the International Center for Development Policy, an anti-Contra group headed by former U.S. ambassador Robert White, said in a recent interview that the FBI investigation was part of a "massive campaign" to discredit him and others. LOS ANGELES-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, long a highly visible advocate of condom use to prevent the spread of AIDS, warned Monday that prophylactics have "extraordinarily high" failure rates among homosexuals and offer them no assurance of "safe sex." Koop said that the same warning applied to heterosexuals who engage in anal intercourse and to the spread of other sexually transmitted diseases in addition to AIDS. The statements contradict what has become an article of faith among many gays who believe that, aside from abstinence, condoms offer the only protection against the AIDS virus. In an interview, Koop said that he intended to revise future editions of his report to the nation on AIDS to distinguish between the protective value of condoms for vaginal intercourse and for anal sex. He said that the original report had never been intended to apply to condom use in anything but heterosexual vaginal sex. The warnings, issued by Koop in an interview at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he gave the keynote address in a health conference, contradict a variety of assumptions about the protective value of condoms, which have increased in popularity among gays-the group hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic. Many homosexuals apparently believe that the use of condoms safeguards them against contracting the human immunodeficiency virus, the precursor of AIDS. "I don 't like to acknowledge mistakes, and I don 't want to use the word 'mistake' in reference to that report," Koop said of the study, first issued last December. "But when I do it over, on the basis of information we have now and we (expect) to be getting, it will be much more explicit as to the expected failure rate in heterosexual (vaginal) and homosexual intercourse.'' Koop said that since the initial report was written, he had been "surprised" to find a near-complete lack of research on condom failure rates and causes. He noted that thepromotion of condoms as protection against AIDS, hepatitis B and herpes had occurred before the completion of any largescale study to confirm their effectiveness in preventing the spread of viruses. In addition, he said, little attention has been paid to the stresses of anal sex, as opposed to vaginal intercourse, places on condoms. Only one study, a major research effort now in its initial stages at UCLA and the University of Southern California , has ever been designed to explore the various issues of condom breakage and leakage rates as they relate to AIDS, he noted. That study is not expected to produce preliminary results until next year. Koop said that he still believed it was better to use a condom than to engage in anal intercourse unprotected, but than for homosexuals and others who engage in such sex, condoms at the very least "should not be seen as a panacea." The surgeon general also: - Reiterated previously reported research that condoms made of lamb membrane material cannot block the AIDS virus and other major sexually transmitted diseases. These so-called lambskin condoms are popular in some segments of the gay community because they resist tearing and breaking, but researchers say the membranes theoretically permit passage of the AIDS virus. - Took the condom industry to task for failing to provide package inserts, marketing and advertising materials to support AIDS and other education efforts. Taking note or an aavertismg slogan used in one new condom ad campaign, Koop said, "I don't think that 'I love you, but not enough to die for' is a health message. You might be talking about motorcycles." - Warned that Americans should avoid foreign-made condoms imported in bulk and repackaged by U.S. distributors, often as private-label brands. Uncertainties about foreign manufacturing and warehousing procedures make such products dangerous, he said. Gramm-Rudman from page 1 the fiscal year that begins nex t month , the legislation would accomplish only two-thirds of the deficit reduction promised in the budget that Congress passed only three months ago. 'This is a terrible way to run the country, and the fact that we have come to this is a sorry comment on the president and Congress," Rep. Martin O. Sabo, D-Minn , said. "It is a clear display of our inability to deal with the deficit crisis." But the House Minority Leader Robet H.

No, this was not a hi gh-tech jet fighter or a new guided missile, as the title might suggest, but rather a sleekly designed and understated musclecar which Chevy dubbed "Camaro." While the Camaro 's smooth lines and subtle stance suggested it was the product of insp ired minds at General Motors, this new Bow Tic offering was real ly a car of necessity. GM needed a car which would be able to compete with a sporty littl e Ford coupe known as the Mustang. Ford introduced the Mustang in 1964, hoping to take advantage of the buy ing potential of a group that was known as the "youth market." GM execs thought that this new "ponycar" would be unable to last the distance against the well-known Corvair (Super Spori) and the 2728, a Camaro could range from mild to wild and anything in between. Speaking of wild, let's take a look at "the" Camaro, the legendary Z/28. This 1967 Z was a very subtle car. The only ways it could»bc distinguished from less potent Camaros was by a pair of thick longitudinal stripes that graced its hood and trunk lid and by the 302 cubic inch motor that was exclusive to the Z/28 through 1969. This hot little V-8 was conservatively rated at 290 horsepower by Chevrolet, but its real output was in the neighborhood of 350 hp. Monza and the unbeatable Corvette. Well, they were wrong. More than 100,000 Mustangs were sold in the four months following it's introduction , a fi gure which sent Chevrolet scrambling to develop an "anti- Mustang " car. The 1967 Camaro generated plenty of speculation among the automotive set, but failed to outdo the Mustang sales figures. In fact , the Camaro would not outsell Ford 's ponycar until late in 1977. Despite this, the new Chevy proved very popular among the buying public , largely due to its long list of available factory and dealer options. This allowed the customer to mix-'and-matc h many options , coming up with a car suited to his taste , budget , and driving inclinations. With eight engines and three different models to choose from , namely the RS (Rally Sport), SS While the Camaro proved unable to defeat the Mustang in the sales department race, it was at least equal to the Ford , as twenty years of close competition between the two have proved .

The list of bands from the L.A. surrounding area that have made it big seems almost endless these days. It 's phenomenal how one city could be almost solely responsible for the latest rock and roll music fad : the revival and redefinition of heavy metal. What started out as an experiment with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in the late 60's, shaped by Aerosmith and Rainbow in the 70' s, has been sharpened and redefined by these new acts. The latest in the wave is Tesla, a band out of the Sacramento area. If it weren 't for the importance of market- ing in today's music world, their 1986 album , Mechanical Resonance , would've made a much bigger commercial impact. Bands simply don 't make it on talent anymore, it would seem. As I listened to the tape, I found myself wishing the volume dial on my walkman went to 11 (Spinal Tap). Guitarists Tommy Skeoch and Frank Hannon put clowns like Quiet Riot 's Carlos Cavazo, the Crue ' s Mick Mars, and even the immortal Eddie Van Hamster (thanks , WMMR) to shame. Side one rocks with a fury as Skeoch and Hannon sizzle their way through "Cumin ' Atcha Live," the Aerosmith-tinged "2 Late 4 Love," and"Getti n ' Better." The two of them combine perfectly with vocalist Jeff Keith and slide through some nice tempo shifts on "We're no good together" and "Changes." Mechanical Resonance also spawned the band's firs t MTV single, "Modern Day Cowboy," a blistering rocker about 1980's di plomacy. Professedly less concerned with writing hit singles, Tesla plays from gut instinct , with an obvious love for rock and roll: a rare find these days. It is for this reason that producers Cliff Bernstein and Peter Mensch (AC/DC , Metallica , Scorpions) decided to take Tesla on. Their love for the music and willingness to deviate from the normal slam-and-ban'g metal mainstream is apparent. Hannon doubles as keyboardist, adding some nice piano to "Changes,"and a soulful metal guitar/ mandolin mix on "Little Suzi." The record closes with "Cover Queen ," a superbly written piece about pornography and the highlight of the album , and "Before my eyes," an eerie tune about misperceived reality and a credit to Keith's vocal ability. Had it not been for less deserving, megamarket, schlock-rock bands like Bon Jovi and Poison, as well as the return of Ozzy Osbourne to the spotlight , grabbing up all the attention , Tesla would have done much better for themselves commerciall y. For now, though, they can just rest assured that they 've produced one of the best metal records in recent history, and hopefully still have enough left over to buy food and hire a bus driver. Mike Warner, the bass p layer of Synch , and the rest of the band had to p lay inside when rain cancelled the lawn concert last week. CGA offices uo for grabs by Susan Fallo ws Staff Writer The extension of the Community Government Association petition deadline appears to have failed to increase the number of students running for senate seals. Jim Fritchmann , CGA vicepresident said the organization does not have enough candidates to fully represent the residence halls and the commuter students. North Hall and Elwell Hall are each short a candidate to fill the available seats. Commuter students are short two candidates. The remaining residence halls have the exact number of candidates required to fill the positions. Fritchmann added the freshman class has no one running for vicepresident and only one person running for each of the other three offices. These include president, secretary, and treasurer. Both Fritchman and Ed Gobora, CGA president, noted mat freshmen do not know what the jobs involve and are often intimidated. Fritchman said students running for the first time are encouraged to talk with others who have been senators in the past. Off-campus candidates are the only group who outnumber the available seats. There are 30 students running for 18 seats. Following the election, the residence halls lacking full representation will be asked to fill their allotted seats. The first CGA meeting will be on Monday, Sept. 28. Even with the empty seats, the senate will have a quorum.

The result was a rather Samson-like appearance , which people assumed representative of Hungarian men . I have never seen Al Hrabosky or heard anything else about him , but his name (which is not Hungarian) suggests that he must have been of Central European descent. Several coun- tries in that region , including Hungary, Romania , Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, are often confused with each other, and we Hungarians realize that many people are unfamiliar with the area and with Hungarian culture. Recently, I made a trans-Atlantic phone call to Hungary. After dialing the number, the operator asked, "So, is this call to Romania?" I assured her that it was not, and that Hungary was quite different from her eastern neighbor; she declined to take much notice of it. Similar mistakes are made with Hungarian culture. Just as Czechoslovakian writer Hasek of the "Svejk Stories"is likely to be associated with Hungary, so is Petofi, a great 19th century Hungarian poet, erroneously associated with Yugoslavia. The borders of these countries seem to have become obscure for many Western Europeans and Americans. These nations are small compared to the United States and Pennsylvania itself, which is approximately the same size as Hungary. Before the Second World War, when much of Central Europe was known as Austria-Hungary, the fate of present Central European countries was critically interwoven. The development of the Cold War did not allow Westerners and Hungarians to learn much about each other. However, Hungarians have felt they should portray a more realistic image of their country for decades. Ten students from Pecs, a southern city in Hungary, have come to different universities in Pennsylvania to pursue academic studies this fall. Two of these students are currently enrolled at Bloomsburg University. We hope that our stay here will show many Bloomsburg students that there is more to Central Europe than vague associations of it with baseball players. We hope to learn about the American culture and baseball itself. Sophomoric views on late-night Frosh phone calls by Doug las Rap son Staff Writer Being a sophomore on an all-freshman wing has been an eye-opening experience this year. Don't get me wrong, they are really great guys. It's just some of the things they do. I'm sure some of them have an eight o'clock class. It usually happens that freshmen are lucky that way. At any rate, I have an eight o'clock philosophy class myself. If you cringe at the mere thought of it, you really ought to try it sometime (though I wouldn 't wish it on Ken Kirsch). I'm just not a morning person, and the thought of Socrates saying: "I drank WHAT???" sends me into fits of laughter at 7:30 a.m. on the way to breakfast. My pscudo-drowsy/giddy mood is not at all helped by my neighbors. At midnight , or shortly thereafter , I usually turn into a pumpkin - that is, if my neighbors are not taking full advantage of their long distance rates. I honestly believe that my roommate and I live next to a stock holder for AT & T. It's midnight and I've finally put down that damned philosophy book after an hour of reading the same paragraph 37 times. I reason to myself that the prof will explain it tomorrow in class, and prepare to retire. That's when it starts. A.G. Bell is at it again. I really can 't figure out who he is talking to, I just notice that he's doing it rather loudly. I don 't want to seem like an old lady, though. It's only 12:03, and he can't talk for verv lone. Voice Staff Meeting Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in The Voice office. Newcomers are welcome. At 12:33 I poke my head out my door. "Am I talking too loud?" he asks with a sheepish grin. "Yeah," I manage to grunt. "Would you mind taking it inside your room?" "Can't, dude. My roomie's got an eight o'clock, and he's sleeping." "Where?" I think to myself. "Nelson?" "Tell you what, though. I'll talk quieter." "Quieter than what?" I found myself asking minutes later. Quieter than the Concorde leaving for London? Quieter than the last AC/DC album in all its glory? Or did he mean quieter than the A-bomb tests in Nevada? I'm not really sure. At any rate, when I struggled out of bed at 1 a.m., I opened the door to find my neighborjust where I had left him. CAREER I didn't even look at him. I just made my way to the bathroom. As I returned , I heard him say, "Well, gotta go - see you Steve." Down the hall a door opened and I heard a voice say, "Yeah, see you tomorrow Mark." Good Writers: We want you!

"As of midni ght tonight, tfeh players of the National Football League will be on strike again," Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association, said Monday night in announcing the strike on national television during halftime of the New England Patriots-New York Jets game. "None of us wants this, not the players, not the fans , not the owners, and that's really, really sad." the end of the game in East Rutherford , NJ. 'The only thing going on is the announcement of a strike," Upshaw said earlier from union headquarters here. Strike is on "As far as we're concerned , the strike is on ," said Philadelphia Eagles player representative John Spagnola Monday afternoon as players began clearing out locker,s and the union began distributing signs and instructions for picketing.Upshaw announced that striking NFL players and members of other unions would begin picketing the NFL's 28 practice facilities Wednesday. That is the same day the owners are expecting replacement players to begin practicing for the intended resumption of the season on October 4. Players on some teams said they would begin picketing Tuesday. A Washington Post-ABC News poll over the weekend showed that six of every 10 respondents who No negotiations held No new negotiations or conversations between the chief negotiators for the NFLPA and the Management Council , the owner's negotiating arm , were conducted or scheduled in the waning hours before the strike became official at said they are football fans plan to watch telecasts of these games, even though the same amount called using the substitute players "a bad idea." About one in two respondents said they side with neither the players or the owners. The Management Couincil's executive committee met in New York, reportedly to finalize plans for continuing the season by using players cut in training camp, veteran free agents and any union members who might decide not to strike. They also formulated a leaguewide ticket refund p lan. However, there was no exchange with the players union , and no new talks scheduled.. Troy Hunsinger Staff Writer The Bloomsburg Huskies have just come off an impressive 25-6 win against Lock Haven, due in part to a great running back by the name of Leonard Bluitt. Bluitt ran 24 yards for a third quarter touchdown which helped to seal the win for the Huskies. He year m TV negotiations, and there s not a lot of money: no room for significant movement." Losses are substantial Each team would lose $1 million a week if the union shuts down the league, according to Mike Duberstein, the NFLPA director of research who said he based this estimate on figures provided by the Management Council. The union estimates player losses would average about $15,000 per man a week. Potential losses or profits for individual teams cannot be accurately projected because of the uncertainty of ticket refunds and TV Will fans come back rights-fee rebates if play continues "I'm always optimistic, but not during the strike. about this strike," Miami Dolphins Earlier, Upshaw told the Associowner Joe Robbie said Monday ated Press: "I have something up mv afternoon. sleeve I'm going to reveal later." Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Pressed later, he said: "I have Hugh Culverhouse said owners are nothing up my sleeve but my arm ," wary of losing fans. "Our concern is then went on to say, if the sides met with the fans coming back strong," again , "I think you could hammer out a deal in a matter of a day." he said. "We're coming off a flat mately 180 pounds. This should not be taken lightly, however, because Bluitt is very physical and a great blocker, according to Head Coach Adrian. Bluitt returns to the squad after a seasons absence. He enjoyed an outstanding spring training and showed excellent blocking ability. Adrian and the Husky coaching Rozelle has one last chance to save the NFL by Tony Kornheiser The Washington Post At halftime of Monday night's Patriots-Jets game, Gene Upshaw said he had someone in mind who could come in and make the deal to end the football strike. A mystery man. Who should step in? I've no idea who Upshaw's talking about. For all I know it could be Marlon Brando. But I know who should he making this deal. And he's certainly been a mystery man so far. Pete Rozelle. It's incredible how silent and how far in the background he has remained. Who's advising him , Greta Garbo? It may have made sense to him to stayiout of the way before the strike, in hope that the owners and players could reach an agreement without pressure from the commissioner. But there's no longer a good reason for him to continue dancing alone in the dark. Baseball has shown us the different postures a commissioner can take during a strike, there's the Bowie Kuhn pose: supine, watching the wheels go round and round sitting on strike waiting for it to hatch. And there's the Peter Ueberroth pose: sleeves rolled up, hands on, let's settle this thing before the soup gets cold. Rozelle has been Bowie too long: bobbing up ans down, going nowhere as the waves roll by. Whose side is he on? The major impediment to Rozelle mediating the strike is that he's perceived by the players standing squarely on the owners' side, upshaw has said the only way Rozelle should enter the talks is as the owners' spolesman. So it's time for Rozelle to do something bold to show the players that he's acting in the best interest of the league: the whole league, the players, too. It's the time for him to put his negotiating skills, and maybe his job, on the line. First, he should state his determined position to scabism as the solution to labor-management problems, and indefinitely postpone the scab games on the grounds that they're detrimental to everything the league has stood for in the last 25 years. Second, he should order the owners to open their books, like Ueberroth did. Let people see if owners are indeed losing money as they claim. Third , noting that football players have an average NFL career of less than four seasons and often flounder after being released into the real world, he should express sympathy with the players' aims for improved severance and pensions. Fourth, having tilted towards the players in three critical areas, he should urge the players to settle for a modified compensation plan regarding free agency and because the league would be profitable for all without it. Then Rozelle should appeal to both sides to throw-down their guns. He should suspend all league activity, including the training of scab teams, so that neither owners nor players have an economic advantage in maintaining their barricades. And he should scold them. "I'm sick of these strikes. They're ruining the game. You owners say you don 't want them. You players say you don 't want them. The fans don 't want them, the sponsers don 't want them. And I don 't want them. And you are going to sit in a room for however long it takes, and you are not coming out until you have an agreement. We are through killing the goose that lays the golden eggs." Rozelle as a mediator He should be heroic by offering himself as a mediator, and to make that palatable he should offer to bring along somebody else upon whom both sides can agree, some- one of character, with experience at compromise, someone beyond reproach , perhaps Gerald Ford. To underline his good faith, he should offer his resignation if this doesn't work. Why should Rozelle do this? For the good of the game, something he has always pledged himself to as commissioner. And because he's 62 years old , and he's been doing this job for 27 years, and the ignominy of the last six has threatened to eclipse everything he accomplished in the first 21. Rozelle at his worst He has been thrashed by Al Davis, beaten, however pyrrhically, by the USFL, embarrassed by Robert Irsay, Leon Hess and Leonard Tose, and smeared as nothing more than a well-tanned figurehead on a short lease. It seems whenever we see him lately, he's on the witness stand being interrogated. Each successive time he looks more Ostler on Sports drained. Standing in place of a confident, aggressive administrator is a tentative haggard bureacrat. Rozelle at his best This is Rozelle's chance to remind people that it was his under direction that the NFL became the preeminent sports league in the world, that the Super Bowl became something mythic , surpassing even the Olympics in sporting consequence, that the value of franchises skyrocketed as Rozelle successfully courted television. Rozelle's NFL is the model which David Stern 's basketball and Ueberroth's baseball leagues strive to emulate. This is Rozelle's chance, and maybe his las chance, to reverse the revisionist thinking of recent years. Why should the players want Rozelle at the table? Because he is the best negotiator professional sports has ever known. And if he can 't get a fair deal that can benefit both sides, nobody can. Leonard Bluiit i rushed ten times for a total of 68 yards. He also caught six passes for 55 yards. That averages out to 9.2 yards per catch . The Huskies will primarily be running a two back offense according to Coach Adrian. This is done so that the Huskies can keep both Bluitt and Martin in the offense at the same time. Bluitt only weighs approxia- l FAMOUS LAST WORDS Will someone please tell me.... by Scott Ostler Los Angeles Times I've been getting a lot of calls from fans feverishly concerned about the player-management dispute that is threatening to tear apart the National Football League. Unfourtunately, all I can tell them is that I, like everyone else, can only wait until later this week when a federal court judge in Seattle rules whether Brian Bosworth may wear his jersey No. 44, or must go back to the league-mandated No. 55. 1 only hope justice is served and no lasting damage is done to the game. Also, a few people have phoned and expressed concern over the NFL jplayer strike. I don 't have any answers on that issue, either, although there are many burning questions worth posing, to wit: If the networks deside not to televise the scab games, how will we decide which light beer to drink? Isn't scab and ugly word? Can't we call these fellows something nicer, like "JVs," or "Kelly Boys," or "backstabbers?" Persian who? In a way, isn't it excellent timing that the strike has come along and knocked that annoying gulf war out of the headlines? Are the players happy now that they've got what they wanted-an NFL populated entirely by free agents? Why is it you never hear the adjective "overpaid" used to describe the owners, who complain about losing money but always seem to wind up selling their teams for a $20 zillion profit, without ever so much as pulling a hamstring? Is this really a fair fight, when the guys and gals on one side of the dispute are in pro football as a hobby, while for the fellows on the other side, with the exception of Bo Jackson, it's a matter of financial life and death? While playing on that sympathy In keeping with a Ram tradition angle, wouldn't a striking player be of sideline rewards for great plays, well advised to leave his Mercedes will Georgis Frontiere kiss a scab, limo or Porsche-Linguine in the even if she doedn 't know his name': garage and take a city bus to the And another Ram tradition, will picket line, or borrow a friend' s the Ram scabs be the lowest paid?

Bork? Mork? Clint Eastwood? Judge Wapner? The Fan-in-Cheif himself? Did Ladd Herzog, Houston Oiler executive vice president, drop his pants and moon a wedding reception at a Buffalo hotel last Saturday night, or did he not? Doesn't this question raise an even greater philosophical question: If two sides can't agree on something as obvious as a mooning, how can we expect agreement on anything as vague and debatable as the issues in this strike? Olympic football Is it too late for our national sports leaders to quietly campaign to add football to the Olympic Games lineup for 1988? Then , if the NFL players stay out long enough, will they regain their ameteur eligibility? Would we kick some world fanny in Seoul, South Korea, or what? Hey, TV people, can you scrap your plans to televise scab games and re-runs of the last Super Bowl and other classic NFL games? Would you consider taking the tapes of the two games each team has played so far this season and running them in fast reverse? That way, we could go back to the beginning and pretend this whole thing never happened. staff are very pleased with the results that they have been gelling from Bluiit. They arc try ing !o get Bluitt much more involved th an lie has been in the past. According to Adrian, Bluitt is a "hard working, very unselfish team player."

Every time I turn around here at Bloomsburg, somebody is talking about going to next week's game, or wondering where they can get tickets, or looking for a ride so they can spend the weekend there partying. But what is the mystique surrounding this "holy ' institution? Joe Paterno is worshipped like a god. Why? Sure they consistently produce awetsomc football teams, but so do Oklahoma, Nebraska, UCLA and Michigan. These teams don 't have the national following like the Nittany Lions. Barry Switzer and Tom Osborne sure as hell aren't worshipped like gods. What is so special about Penn State and "Papa" Joe Paterno? Don't get me wrong, I respect them very much, I just don 't like them. Does being from New Jersey have anything to do with this? If I were to ask Mike Mullen , he would say it definitely did.

Undefeated Huskies down ESU, Gettysburg by Liz Dacey Staff Writer The Bloomsburg University Field Hockey Team continued its winning streak with a victory over Gettysburg last week and a shutout against East Stroudsburg Monday. The Huskies arc undefeated so far with a record of 4-0. Bloomsburg topped Gettysburg by a score of 4-1. In the first half left outer , Susie Slocum , and right link , Danccn Fcro each scored a goal. Fcro had an assist from center link , Cindy Daeche. Right inner , Sharon Reilly scored one minute into the second hal f and Tracy Nillcs scored the last goal for the Huskies. Gettysburg retaliated a minute later with a goal from Beth Curry. The Huskies outshot Gettysburg 17-11 and had 15 penalty corners against the opponents eight. This past Monday, Bloomsburg shutout East Stroudsburg 4-0. Slocum had two goals, one with an assist from left inner, Cindy Hurst. Fcro had two assists, one on a goal from right outer, Alicia Tcrrizzi , and another from left link , Karen Graham 's goalwith three seconds left to play. All goals were scored in the second half . The Huskies easily outshot East Stoudsburg 33-6 and managed 19 corners against Stroudsburg 's 4. The Huskies will try to continue their streak as they host their own tournament this weekend. BU s swimming teams welcome new coach By Kirs ten Lcinmger Staff Writer The Bloomsburg University 's Women 's swimming and diving team have begun the rigorous climb to the Suite Conference meet held in February . With 14 new recruits, eight swimmers and six divers, the women arc on the way to what could be their strongest season yet, and very possibly, a top five finish at the Division II National Championship. Coach Dave Rider , who begins his second year as Aquatics Director and Head Coach of both the men 's and women 's swimming teams, has high hopes for the Husky women in the season to come. "Wc have more good swimmers that have come into the program this year. This will enable us to be better as a dual meet team and score more points at the Conference meet," Rider said. "Also, the fact that we have many more divers competing for spots than ever before will make us a tough team to beat this season ," he added. The addition of two new assistants to the coaching staff , is another factor lending to the eminent success of the team this year. Denise Sedlacek, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Health and Physical Education , previously coached the swimming team at Lakeworth High School in Mission Bay, Florida. She will be working mainly with the sprinters. Graduate Assistant Eric Slingcrland, who graduated from Bloomsburg in 1980 with a degree in Accounting, is currently working towards his M.B.A.. As an undergraduate, Slingerland participated on the diving team for the Huskies and is now back to assist diving coach Larry Miller and Rider. "I'm very impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge that these two possess," said Rider. "They've already suggested changes in the program which are very good ideas and will be beneficial to the team," he added. The women 's dual meet season begins November 4th with a home meet against University of Scranton Other teams they will be competing against are Division I Lasalle College, Army and Navy, and Division II powerhouse Clarion University. I'll agree that they do have a tough schedule, not the most difficult, but still hard just the same. And I'll also admit that I've never been to Beaver Stadium , but most other big college teams have the.same fan reactions in their stadiums. They are the Dallas Cowboys of college football , the Boston Celtics of college football , the New York Mets of college football. Millions love them , thousands hate them . And because they win so much , I love to see them lose. I want to see Rutgers or West Virginia trounce Penn State. I want to see Joe Paterno lose so badly that he 's speechless after the game. But will it ever happen? No, because the Nittany Lions are just to damn good.

The Bloomsburg University field hockey learn stretched their undefeated record to 4-0 when they defeated Gettysburg 4-1. BU Football p review Photo by Kru daCosU West Chester to test Huskies Troy Hunsinger Staff Writer This coming Saturday afternoon at Redman Stadium will be the . battlefield as the Huskies face the Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division champion West Chester Rams. The Rams arc ranked sixth nationally in a Division II coaches' poll. This game will , more than likely, be one of the toughest and most important games of the season for the Huskies. Bloomsburg may have to face this test without star running back Tom Martin. Martin was injured in the second quarter of the Lock Haven game and did not play in the second half. He has a slight shoulder separation according to Adrian. Martin has not suited up for practice but is feeling better. When asked whether he would play on Saturday , Adrian said that it was questionable but probable. On the other hand West Chester is healthy and ready to go. The Rams have 30 returning lettermen, including junior quarterback Al Niemela. Last year Niemela threw 22 touchdown passes. This is impressive, especially for a sophmore. He already has a completion record of close to 60 percent. Another threat to the Huskies will be the Rams tailback, Jason Sims. Sims has an average of 163 yards per game. This is definitely a player the Huskies will have to watch out for. The Rams had six players that made it to the first team all-conference. Along with Niemela and Sims there were two receivers and two linemen that were voted to this honor. Coach Adrian is very optimistic about his team. Adrian does not intend to make any major changes on defense but will give the Rams many different looks. He also hopes to control their passing game and to put some points on the board. Adrian feels the spectators could play a major part in the game and hopes "the student body gets out and cheers the Huskies on." by Raskin Mark Staff Writer The Bloomsburg University Huskies Soccer team must be kicking itself for not having a better record at this time of the season. Coming off an cmbarrising loss to the Millersville on Saturday the Huskies needed a confidence boosting win to get themselves back on track. Yesterday, they hosted the University of Scranton and despite another good performance, ended up on the losing end-02. From the very first whistle Bloomsburg took the game to Scranton and had things very much their own way for most of the first half. They repeatedly beat the opponents to the ball and were unlucky not to have scored at least once. Dave Deck, Co-Captain of the Huskies, had a well timed shot crash into the cross-bar. Jerry Crick then brough t the best out of goalkeeper Jack Faber, as he headed the rebound from Deck's shot towards goal but was denied by a very good reflex save. Dave Tuscano also had a breakaway attempt, but again Faber was there to foil the attempt. The second half was very much the same with the Huskies searching for that elusive first goal. But the Scranton defense, stretched and beant repeatedly, but never broke and did not concede a goal when regulation time ran out. Senior quarterback Jay DeDea and junior free safety Derrick Hill have been honored by the Pennsyl vania Conference (PC) and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), respectively, for their performances in last Saturday 's 25-6 victory at Lock Haven.

Soccer team loses 2-0 in O.T, In the first overtime period Scranton scored through Mike Kane at the 6.36 minute mark. Try as the Huskies did the equalizer was not forthcoming on this day. Scranton scored a second goal as time expired in the second period of overtime.
