Rep. Kanj or ski hosts telecast town meeting Retirees honored at specia l pr ogram by Jacki Boettger for The Voice Retiree Appreciation Day, sponsored by the personnel department, honored former employees of Bloomsburg University. Last Saturday 75 people, including 43 honorees, attended the program which celebrated the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution. Three groups represented at the program were: the 24th Connecticut Volunteer Regiment, the 12th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment, and the Northumberland Volunteers. The first part of thc program , planned by Bob Wislock , education and training officer, was a reception in the President's Lounge. President Harry Ausprich and Dr. Robert Parrish , vice president of administration , spoke at the reception. A member of the Connecticut regiment commented on the social attitude of the Revolutionary period during a presentation in the Kehr Union , complete with authentic costumes of the time. Susan Lucas, a participant in the program , focused on the role of women in the Revolutionary period in her presentation. A luncheon in the Scranton Commons followed. In the afternoon , a reenactment ofa Revolutionary battle, to place at Nelson Fieldhouse. Muskets and rifles were used in some scenes. Other scenes featured setting up camp. Authentic music was performed by the Berwick Fife and Drum Corps. Balloons which contained messages for their recipients to contact the senders were released at the site. Finally Barry Feudale, a Shamokin attorney, spoke about what our personal rights mean to us. Atty. Feudale is a Bloomsburg graduate who is the chairman of the Constitutional Committee of the Northumberland County Bar Association. He recendy resigned his postof public defender of Northumberland County to run for judgeship in Northumberland County. Dr. J. David Cunningham, director of personnel and labor relations, said that this year's program for retirees was a variation from the ones held the three previous years, which included lunch, a tour of the campus, and a football game. This is an opportunity for those of us who are still at the University to honor those who have given such loyal service and who were able to return to evaluate stewardship that they have passed on to us," Cunningham said. Congressman Paul Kanjorski said thc llth district is unique, being the sixth oldest in Photo by TJ. Kcmmcrcr terms of the age of the constituents. by Karen Reiss Senior News Editor U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski participated in his first televised town meeting Friday,speaking to a live audience of approximatel y 70 people in the television studio of McCormick Human Services Center. University President Harry Ausprich hosted the show , which was transmitted on WVIA-TV Channel 44 live. BU students shared the responsibility of production with the WVIA staff. Before the meeting started, a brief , sludent produced tape was played, showing what BU has to offer academically and recreationally. WVIA President Dr. John Walsh acted as commentator during the event. He opened the question and answer period by giving a brief history of Kanjorski' s actitivies. Kanjorski , the democratic representitive of the llth district praised the tape and said it was as good as anything he's seen on national TV. Kanjorski's comments about the televised meeting were positive. "We're extending eyes and ears throughout the 11th district," he said. "Now I can talk to thousands of people instead of just a handful at a meeting." Along with the television connection , telephone connections also made it possible for people in the listening audience to participate in the meeting. Callers from Berwick, Danville, Wilkes-B^rre, Hazleton , and other locations surrounding Bloomsburg called in questions concerning social security, minimum wage and employee benefits , and the Congressional pay increase. A caller from Berwick asked the congressman how , with the economy like it is in eastern Pennsylvania, Congress can continue to vote itself pay increases. Kanjorski answered by saying he was against the latest pay increase, and he will put the additional pay allocated to him into a special education fund. He also said that he feels fortunate to live in northeastern Pennsylvania were the cost of living is not as high as other parts of the country such as Nevada or California. "Members of Congress live in all of these areas," he said. Kanjorski added that the pay raise stemmed from the President Reagan and not frcm Congress. During the meeting, Kanjorski repeatedly blamed the high deficit for many of the problems brought ap by the audience. One couple with a catastrophically ill child asked where they can turn for some relief from the high medical costs. " I'd like to be able to say we can pass a bill," the congressman told them, "but there is no way that can happen with the deficit. I can't promise anything, but we need to get together soon...I'll work with you." Another caller asked the Congressman what what he has done to bring jobs to the area. Kanjorski responded that he sees a bright future for northeastern Pennsylvania. He continued saying that he has been overseas negotiating with foreign companies to bring their industry into the area. Kanjorski mentioned the possibility of a national company coming into the state, bringing at least 250 jobs with it in the beginning, and many more later. The age of 1987 is promising," the Congressman concluded. "Everyday is new, exciting, promising." He stressed that everybody is aware of the problems the country is facing. We need, he said, to be optimistic. Kanjorski previously practiced law in Wiikes-Barre. CGA elections over At the polls for CGA senators last Thursday , the only competition was for off-campus seats. Thirty candidates petitioned for 18 available positions. The number of off-campus candidates for this election was one of the biggest turnouts of petitions ever. Elwell and North Halls, both short one candidate before the elections, now have all seats fdled for senate because of write-in votes. For the complete results of the elctions, please see Thursday 's issue of The Voice. The first CGA senate meeting ofthe fall semester is scheduled for tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Multi-A of the Kehr Union . Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting and all are urged to do so. Greek advisors meet by Genua Koval f o r The Voice The ideas of a "wet-rush" and "dryrush" were discussed in a Sept. 23 meeting ofth e Greek Advisory Board in the Kehr Union . Greek advisors are trying to convert all rushes to non-alcoholic events. The majority of advisors, however, have found lhat this idea is catching on quicker wilh sororities than with fratcnitics. Attending the meeting were Joy Helsel, chairperson of the Greek Advisory Board, and sixteen other members representing 14 state universities. The majority of the meeting was spent discussing the new Anti-Hazing Policy adopted by all state universities. Hazing is defined as anything embarrassing, intimidating or humiliating that a pledge is made to do during rush. With the adoption of the AntiHazing Policy this is no longer allowed, even if the pledge is willing. The problem of where to draw the line for the Anti-Hazing Policy was discussed at the meeting and all board members agreed that the policy needs Photo by TJ.

Photo by Chrim Hoiking by Lisa Cellini Features Editor The 1987 Fall Rush season opened last Wednesday night when nine sororities represented themselves at the Inter-sorority Council' s All President's Talk in Carver Hall. ISC President Debbie Kaszycki ran the meeting. Representing sororities were presidents Joan McNichol , Alpha Sigma Alpha; Sharon Torrisi, Delta Epsilon Beta; Michelle Tinman, Phi Delta; Sandy Coleburn, Sigma Sigma Sigma; Bethann Williams, Chi Sigma Rho; Jamie Beiz, Alpha Sigma Tau; Maria Mazenga, Theta Tau Omega; Paula Jo Lawson, Chi Theta Pi; and Monica Green, Phi Iota Chi. Although Alpha Sigma Tau will be unable to participate in the Rush activities, all members were present to show support for the Greek system. Approximately 180 girls attended the meeting, as compared to 130 girls last semester. "I think a lot more people are going through Rush because they want to know what's going on (in reference to the new hazing policy)," said Kaszycki. Page 3. Find out about the new Hooter's album.

Commentary Features Classifieds * page 2 page 4 page 6 War never a solution To the Editor: I would like to condemn Mr. Stephen Mellon on his illogical, narrow-minded opinion of the situation in Nicaragua. It is clearly Mr. Mellon 's opinion that in order to achieve peace in Nicaragua, the U.S. government must perpetuate war. This idea has been tried before Mr. Mellon, in WWI. It was proclaimed as "the war to end wars."I have two questions: Who was the winner of WWI and how many wars have there been since? It is also apparent that U.S. aggression would lead to more aggression on the part of the Sandinistas, an escala"tion of fire-power on both sides, and eventually a situation reminiscent of Vietnam. Perhaps being subconsciously aware of the weakness of his arguments, Mr. Mellon relied primarily on anit-communist propaganda to convey his ideas. I lean to the left , but if I was a conservative, Mr. Mellon , your techniques would have embarrassed me. Come now Mr. Mellon , fangs of an immoral political machine", "a red stain in the Americas", "Soviets running rampid"?? I have never heard of the word rampid, either. Plateaus, sir, all plateous. If you want to say things like that, it's okay, as long as you illustrate what you mean. For example, it would not be appropriate for me to blurt out "There are narrow-minded, unreasonable conservatives who write editorials to The Voice" without backing it up with examples like the one to which I am responding. I know, Mr. Mellon, that you may come from a long line of narrowminded people. All of your friends and family may be unreasonable. You can stand on your own feet, though. It's okay to admit that Russia isn't the center of evil in the universe, and lhat Russians aren 't all potential "red stains" whenever on Western soil. Did you know, Mr. Mellon, that Russia boasts many of the best artists in the world today? Such men as Shostokovisc, the composer, Baryshnikov, the dancer , Vosnezenski , and Yevtushenko, the poets, and Pasternok, tlie novelist, have been exceptionally insightful and inspirational. If the Russian government is that oppressive, certainly such art could not flourish. While the Russian people pack stadiums to attend poetry readings, I see more and more Americans embrace fully songs with lyrics such as, "Boom , boom, boom , let's go back to my room" and "sex is natural, sex is fun." It has often been said that art, in a broad sense, is a reflection ofthe society in which it is produced. If this is true, Americans are very shallow. Robin Williams, in Moscow on the Hudson , summed up the difference between living in Russia and the U.S. well: "In Russia, you may have lo fight for a crumb of freedom , but in America, you shit on it." Mr. Mellon, use your freedom well. Russia is certainly no heaven on Earth , but neither is the United States.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that they have lost four of the last five presidential elections, or possibly they are still upset about winning a total of one state in the last election. Whatever the reason , it seems obvious that the Democrats are going to have some major trouble in 1988; that is if any of their candidates for president can make it to the election without self-destructing. Only a few weeks ago, Gary Hart, then the Democratic front runner , committed political suicide by having a young, good-looking woman stay over at his house one night while his wife was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately for Hart, his wife wasn't the one who caught him . It was a reporter from a major newspaper. The effect tiiis had on his campaign was something like what happened to Hiroshima in WWII. One would think that in light of this incident, which cost a candidate his campaign, the surviving Democrats would be much more careful on issues involving their personal integrity or morality. Well, it appears now that another Democrat has probably committeed a political form of "hari-kiri." (He has since withdrawn from the campaign.) Week before last, Joe Biden was in the spotlight. As Judiciary Chairman of the Senate he was going to be seen all over the nation as the Bork hearings finally began. Finally Biden felt he would get the exposure his campaign so dearly needed. He got it, alright , but not the way he wanted. It seems Joe had been running around all summer quoting people like Neil Kinnock, the leader of the Labor Party in Britain, and Robert F. Kennedy without telling anyone who really used the words that Biden was claiming as his own. In other words, plagiarism. This was bad enough, but someone decided to look back at Joe's college days. It seems Joe had almost gotten booted out of Syracuse Law School for plagiarizing a legal paper. Biden quickly held a news conference to dispel these unsettling revelations about himself but he screwed up again by confusing facts about his college days. He claimed, for instance, that he received a scholarship to attend law Voice S taff Meeting Tuesday.

It is called software because it is much easier to destroy if you've accidendy placed it in your pocket. A program is a series of statements created by the human user in an attempt to get the computer to do something predictable. A listing is a printed copy of the program, requested by the user , to find out why the program did not do what was predicted. When a program bombs, its frustration sensing device has successfull y calculated which course of action will cause the human operator the most grief while being the hardest to track down. A hardware failure is what occurs when the user has put his or her foot through the computer 's monitor (see program, listing, and bomb). Structured programming is a technique for creating computer programs. Its purpose is to restrict the programmer to the most time-consuming and least efficient methods available, in order to prevent the programmer from doing anything creative of innovative. Structured programming requires more computer memory that the alternative (efficient programming), which seems to be the goal in most of today's software. Structured programming was invented by the Nazis in World War II when they ran out of new ways to torture Allied prisoners of war. A word processor is a type of program that allows an author to type three entire chapters of text before losing it all into the Nether Zone.

I like to view the SS as a nice car ,but it would bc a lot nicer if I could put a 12-Bolt Posi in the rear and a worked 350 under thc hood. Look closely at thc Monte, thc ideas which dc«igncd it are being phased out and it is doubtful they will ever return to us. On the other end of the spectrum arc the ultra-modern , turbo-equi pped Fomoco and Chrysler offerings. Thc best of the bunch must bc the Thundcrbird Turbo Coupe. Now , my heart and loyalties are trul y with the Monte but I have to admit that what we have here is a fine creation. I like it even though it 's equi pped witli a (gasp!) four cylinder. Thc Thundcrbird , and its sister car, the Mercury Cougar, have a potent little 2.3 litre turbo motor available which can churn up the ground with thc besl of them. If you remember thc lale Mustang SVO, you may recall low much acclaim its powcrplant drew. Well , this is the same motor witli a few years' improvement. Thc Turbo Coupe is thc way to go out of this pair if you arc the Hell-crazed , bent-onbrcaking-the-law type like -mc. "Why? ," you may ask. Thc 'Bird and thc Cougar arc basicall y identical , mechanically. Same chassis, same powcrplant and even the same wide rubber option. The idea , though , is thc cost advantage of thc T'Bird and its better aero numbers in the tunnel. Styling is a personal thing...Bull ! Thc T'Bird has it far and away. That front end looks great on the streets, on thc strips and on thc tracks. It's thc winning combo for thc '80s . Maybe I don 't like computers and fuel injection in my cars, bul thc T'Bird makes mc respect them. Thc personal luxury market is thriving in yupp iedom. Don 't let their styling or appearance deceive you , these cars have a lot to offer in driving performance , luxury and the resultant pleasure of ownership. by Lynne Ernst Feature s Editor Rides , freakshows , agriculture events , concerts- all attractions that bring crowds to the Bloomsburg Fair. But thc bi ggest attraction that draws people to the fair- food. There is something about the atmosphere of a fair that compels people to gourgc themselves to the point of feeling sick. Even thc most well-behaved dieters can be found with an ice cream cone in hand. And even health nuts break down for the occassional funnel cake. What 's even more noteworth y is Uiat students who complain about the greasy food in The Commons, savor the fatty food found at the fair. Bul it 's not lhat there are so many food stands around that tempt thc fairgoer, it 's that there are so many different kinds of foods to try - pizza , gyros, egg rolls , cheese fries , etc. It's as if some uncxplainable force, having tempte d your taste buds , draws you towards each stand. Thc fair in general is a pig's heaven , and each year I find myself at the pearl y gates. Last year I made the horrible mistake of venturing to the fair without any money. Never again. I'd say it 's almost masochistic to subject yourself to watching others feed their faces. However , the next night I full y compensated for my mistake. After watching taffy being made for a good hour , I ended up buy ing two boxes of chocolate taff y. Needless to say, most people find themselves witli extra poundage al the end of fair week. But thc pleasure derived from tlie week long eating spree far outwei ghs the disgust at carry ing a little excess baggage. So indulge, bul ge, and enjoy the fair while it 's in town.

Bosh wins straw poll by Missi Menapace Staff Writer Vice-President George Bush was elected in a landslide victory over Sen. Joe Biden in thc presidential election two weeks ago. At least, that 's what would have happened if Dr. Chuck Jackson 's poll of four political science classes had becn the rea l thing. His students overwhelmingly favored the Republican party. Bush led witli 172 points. Behind him were Sen. Robert Dole (156), U.S Rep. Jack Kemp (95) and Gen. Alexander Haig (68). In contrast , Biden led the Democrats with 66 points. Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis re- ceived 57 points, Rep. Dick Gehphardt 50 and Rev. Jesse Jackson 34. Gary Hart led write-in candidates with 20 points. Jackson noted that three of the four classes were polled the day after Hart's highly publicized appearance on Nightline with Ted Koppel. Lt Col. Oliver North recieved one vote, and President Reagan was given a second place vote. Jackson told the PressEnterprise, " I' m very gratified that no one voted for Spuds MacKenzie." Name recognition and where a canidadate lives were two factors in the poll. Bush has been highly The Inside Cover visablc as Vice-President for the past seven years. Biden , who lives in Dclcwarc and is orig inaly from Scranton , is well-known in this area. Jackson was interested in the poll but cautioned tbat it doesn 't represent the enti re campus. Thc random survey contained more underclassmen and arts and science majors the the universtity at large. It is highly concentrated in one age group and geographical location. Students ranked their firs t, second and third choices of eig ht Democratic and six Republican candidates. First choices were awarded three points, second choices two, and third choices one. Hooter 's latest album a bore by Ken Kirsch Staff Writer Billy College jumps into his Gran d Am lhat pop bought him especially for his "formative " university years. Now , as a thousand times before, he slicks in his favorite U2 tape into his custom Jensen tape deck. Billy drives for 20 minutes. Thc tape pops out. As he prepares lo flip the cassette over, hc happens to glance at the front of the tape. "Wow , it 's not U2 at all , or even INXS. Somebody purposedly slipped thc new Hooters tape into my car, man! Oh , lhat Joey, always playing tricks on me—I'll get him yet. I know , I'll put a Whitesnake tape into his Led Zeppelin collection, he'll never know llie difference!" Has this ever happened to you? You ' re out for a night of partying with your friends. All of a sudden you dislcover ' someone switched tapes on you. They wreak havoc with your cassette collection. You 're loist, you 're confused. What will you do? What WILL you do! I don ' t know about you, but if someone did that to me , I'd send that new Hooters tape, One Way Home , on a one-way fli ght out the driver 's side window. Philly 's gutsy band has bitten the dust; a victim of U2 Joshuatree syndrome. Gee, guys, it 's the '80"s, let's throw together some pseudo-intelli gent lyrics, slow the music down to a dead crawl , and try to look really serious on the album cover, man. Ya know, like reallly socially conscious and all? "When the wars that men wage are all through/ and their monuments put on display! tell the hungry and stranded! the poor empty-lianded .we'll meet them on Wahshington ' s Day." Excuse me while I yawn. Eric Bazilian , Rob Hyman , and the rest of the Hooters have added a few new musical tricks to their act; an accordion , a flute-tuned keyboard, and even a little brass. Almost nonexistent from the record is the honer melodica, or "hooter" for which the band is named. But even these new toys can 't hide the fact that the album is a complete loss of perspective. As with 1985's Nervous Nig ht, the Hooters decided to revamp a classic in order to draw the die-hard Philly crowd to buy the new record . Their remake of "Fightin ' on the same side" is a total self-mockery. They 've changed tlie lyrics, rearranged the music , and in tlie process killed the spirit of thc original version. Another standout on the album is the mild radio hit "Johnny B." Roll over Chuck Berry—you loo Led Zeppelin! The flute and mandolin intro is such a blatant copy of "Stairway to Heaven" that I' m surprised the Hooters didn 't get sued for plagarizing. by Dan Sulliva n tory Theater. At its Los Angeles presentation , it makes for a long three hours. The dialogue, translated by Michael Glenny, is stiff. The characters are types: the grand old woman doctor (Nan Martin), the blustering general (Tom Rosqui), the poor peasant woman (Nobu McCarthy), the Holy Fool (Gregory Wagrowski). The device of setting them down in a radiation clinic seems just that. For example, there's a scene where Ben Piazza as the nuclear stations director (it is never actually identified as Chernobyl) predicts that thc authorities will never put him on trial . "They 'd have to try too many others as well. It would start a chain-reaction. " As we know, there was a trial , and it was a public one. Perhaps Gubas play hel ped to quash thc natural temptation of thc Soviet bureaucracy to put Chernoby l "behind us," as they say in Washington. In any case, "Sarcophagus " is a play that has had already some read consequences. Side two melts inlo a deluge of repetition and severe amnesia. "One Way Home" and "Washington 's Day come together with the same lazy, overdrawn choruses and chords, while "Hard Rockin ' Summer" vainly trys to rock us back into sensibility, falling far short of its mark. The only real Hooters rockers on the album are "Satellite" and "Engine 999," two mediocre pieces reminiscienl of the kmore days.

Lydon says thc music Photo by Gcny Moore "will always bC a hobbfC. " Singer Rita Lydon perform s at PCM by Laura Specht Staff Writer Rita Lydon, a senior English major at Bloomsburg University, performed a concert at the Protestant Campus Ministry house on Friday, September 25. Lydon concentrates on performing popluar folk music, but she also enjoys writing and singing her own music. "I really like the idea of performing my music in concert," says Lydon. "Especially with an audience that's really laid back." The Philadelphia native began playing guitar approximately nine years ago when she took weekly lessons at her grammar school. Her inter- est in music has intensified since then. Lydon started performing at PCM at the suggestion of Rev. Greg Osterburg, who is currently spending this semster in New Zealand as part of a ministry exchange. Besides her three concerts at the PCM, Lydon has performed at the Kehr Union Coffeehouse and at the Renaissance Jamboree. Friday 's perform ance included songs such as Joanie Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," Crosby, Stills, and Nash's "Teach Your Children," a sing-a-long of Bob Dylan 's "Blowin ' in the Wind ," and Neil Young's "Comes a Time." "The Neil Young songs I sing are my favorite," says Lydon. Problematic Cigarettes? by Jozsef Horvath Staff Writer Now it's only a matter of time and a brand new innovation will replace a variety of old-fashioned cigarettes. With smokeless being tested and publicized, we are likely to be confronted with a phenomenon unheardof: people will not smoke while actually smoking. Language itself will have to find a way out of this paradox. sorts are at our disposal. What can come out of that situation. People eager to give up smoking may brag about that they 've succeeded after all. "Look," they 'll say proudly to their friends, "I' m not smoking. This cigarette is not smoking. I'm simply puffing this tiny little rod in order to inhale an appropriate amount of nicotine." Conservatives, by contrast, will look down on those commited to smokeless cigarettes, and the controversy between smokers and antiSuppose there'll be a period of time smokers is apt to become even more when both traditional and sensational problematic. n «L JJ ^aSfeB^ tm lU fflfF J k n a Jr / & B ___________________ MB ___^' ^.tr _________ M_ -J# J** aa_ rf*' *M (fi mV _____\_______\____ M m fl km. _jMa_ Eg It f a -d- ?^ C* Z7 JUT 1 Lydon also performed a few of her own compositions: "Crystal Lady," which deals with the inner fragility of peoples' spirits, "For So Many Days,"and a song called "See You Again," which is dedicated to the meaningful people in a person 's life. In addition to the busy concert schedule, Lydon is president of the English Club, works for the campus coordinator and participates in Quest courses whenever possible. Although she remains busy with her music and hobbies, her main concentration is English. "Music will always be a hobby, but it will not be a living," said Lydon. "Maybe a concert now or then ."

NFL players strike Fans Held Hostage:Day 7 Free agency comes full circle by Ruskin Mark Staff Writer A week ago tonight the New England Patriots lost to the New York Jets in a game seen live on national television. The final score is not as important today as the fact that at the sounding of the final whistle, signaling the end of the game, the NFL players went on , strike one more time. Yes, 1600 men whose average salary is $230,000 annuall y, actually have a labor grievanee. They contend that they are the onl y ones in America who are unable to voluntaril y choose where they wish to work. They would like, what's affectionally called "unfettered freeagency," the disallowing of teams from retaining first refusal rights but no compensation if the player moves. Management, naturally, would like to retain first-refusal rights, while offering to lower compensation levels for free-agents. Al- though there are other pressing issues like severance pay, pensions, drug testing and guaranteed contracts, the big one seems to be free agency. Now, the issue of free-agency is a privilege the Union had back in 1976 but traded it away for better working conditions and benefits. Ironically, the mai n issue again deviding both sides is the same free-agency. Where do these people get off? Couldn 't cooler heads have prevailed and worked towards a satisfactory settlement beneficial to both sides? Wh y didn 't the Commissioner intervene earlier and arbitrate the proceedings towards rectifying differences and avoid the strike? He never acted and both parties drifted further apart culminating in the present strike. As for strikes, I am of the opinion that they no longer have the affect on proceedings they once did. The fans , on the other hand , always seem to lose in these situations , but in reality, a fall Sunday afternoon without bone-crushing tackles, high arched spirals, and an over-indulgance in gatorade, does not constitute cultural short circuitry. Also, I do not believe that they are backing the players in this strike, and just like in 1982, they may stay away in protest , if and when the season resumes. Owners have agreed to issue refunds to ticket holders if they so desire, or season ticket holders can surrender their tickets for the 1988 season without losing seat placement. The networks are obligated to carry games even during the strike, but may have to refund advertisers. Paradoxically, the owners are prepared to use free-agents and non-striking veterans on teams, and continue playing. Wait, wasn't the issue of free-agency the main reason for the present strike? How soon we forget. That the strike is on is a fact. That it could have been avoided is also a fact. When will it come to an end? Your guess is as good as mine. But for now it is a big hello to college football and baseball's pennant races. Scott Ostler The Los Angeles Times No, that was not God weeping Wednesday morning, mourning the opening day of the National Football League's midseason preseason training camp. I suspect He has more important matters to look in on these days, like famines and baseball pennant races. What we got in Los Angeles was just a regular rainstorm. No owners, players, scabs or fans were struck by lightning, so apparently the man upstairs isn 't taking sides yet, either. We are on our own, then , and we might as well settle in and enjoy the world's strangest strike, during which several things are sure to happen. For starters, the striking players will become scab-ball fan s, out of necessity. The Los Angeles Rams' destiny, for instance, will be in the hands of the Ramscabs. If the Ramscabs become a scab dynasty for two or three games, the real Rams will benefit enormously when the strike is settled. A bad scab team can knock your real team out ofthe box before the real players ever lace up another cleat. Therefore , the better a team pickets, the more threatening and intimidating they are walking the line, the better their chances of going back to work in last place. The players cannot admit this,but it will be much to their benefit to let the best ringer-scabs slip through the picketline. If I were the Rams strikers, for instance, I would send my toughest, most violence-prone picketers to San Francisco to walk the 49ers line, in a gesture of brotherhood. In New York, there will be unrest on the Giants' picket line, as book publishers put pressure on the team 's several author-athletes. It is bad enough for book sales when you start your season 0-2. But when you 're 0-2 and on strike, there aren't many people clamoring to read the Lawrence Taylor memoirs. Someone will explain to the players that the free agency demand is not worth dying for, not if free agency means simple freedom to choose where you work. The president of the United States is not a free agent. His job is specialized. If he wants to be a president ofa nation , he is pretty much limited to living .and working in downtown Washington . Generally speaking, the more spe- WS JUST DECLARED THEMSELVESFRg£ f€rOTsm™EKroFF ) GWNt ! Ostler on Sports: Scab games will be boring, except for striking players New degree program offe red [ in adult health at Bloomsburg Bloomsburg University has instituted a new degree program in Adult Health designed to train students for careers in the growing health and fitness fields. The impetus for the new major was derived from the reality of changing demographics in the United States. Statistics provided by the Census Bureau indicate that the elderly are a rapidly growing segment of the population As a result, a primary objective of the program is to foster an understanding of human development, the aging process, and the physiological changes which accompany aging. An important adjunct of this study is the acquisition of skills related to the principles of fitness and wellness, including the development and application of exercise prescriptions and programs for adults and elderly individuals. To meet this objective, students majoring in Adult Health are challenged by an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes courses in the humanities,physical education, allied health and biological sciences, psychology and sociology. An integral component of the major dence. An important factor of the improvement has been the maturation of doubles play. "I'm pleased with the progress we have made, thus far. The players are beginning to implement some of the things stressed in practice into their garnes," Herbert said. This week's schedule takes the women to Lock Haven on Monday, followed by home matches with Kutztown on Wednesday, East Stroudsburg on Thursday ahd Millersville on Saturday. Sophomore Wendy Wenhold and freshman Chris Labosky lead the team with records of 4-2 and 5-1 respectively. and explai n to them that they are expendable. According to the Jim Bouton Theory , owners are as vital to pro sports as valet parking at the stadium. What would happen if the players on one team pooled their resources, bought the team and divided up the profits? Or if a city bought a team and ran it as a non-profit organization? Whatever profits would normally go to the owner would be divided up a mong the players. Salaries, and therefore team morale and performance, would soar sky-high. Owners as we know them today would soon become extinct. Thc scab games will be enormously entertaining... to the striking pl ayers. Games will tend to look like football blooper shows. Plays will be drawn in the huddle , in thc dirt. Coaches will slam a lot of headsets to the turf. Most team meetings will begin with, "This is a football ... " Play will be either incredibly sloppy or profoundly boring, or bolh. In other words, the games will be exactly like the negotiating sessions. In the end , the settlement will be a matter of supply and demand. If fans demand pro football and the owners and players do not supply it, the fans will take their business to another store. Is that the World Series I hear around the corner? College football? NBA and NHL training camps? We willl all keep busy, and you owners and players let us know when you are ready to come out and play. If only typewriterslet youproofreadyour workbefore theyprinted it on the page. is the completion of an internship in an adult or elderly setting. The purpose of the internship is to provide an opportunity to put the skills and knowledge acquired into practice.

Women's tennis team dominates Scranton by Mike Mullen Sports Editor A fast improving women 's tennis team that coach "Doc" Herbert is "pleased with" had a tough match against Division I Penn State but easily handled Scranton University as they kept their season record even at 3-3. The women travelled to University Park and were outmatched by the PSU powerhouse, losing 9-0. On Saturday, the Huskies were off to Scranton University and downed the Royals 9-0. Herbert believes the team is beginning to improve and the freshmen are now playing with a bit more confi- tt cialized , highl y skilled and highl y paid your job, the more limited your choices. If you are a crackerjack rocket scientist, your choice of home teams is limited to the Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratory and one or two other teams, unless you want to jump countries. Being forced to spend a few winters of one's lifein Buffalo, N.Y., or Philadelphia for $300,000 per winter ranks extremely low on the public sympath y scale. If players want freedom to work anywhere they wish , they might consider switching careers, to something like restroom maintainance. Besides, if free agency is so valuable, why did the players sell it back to the owners when the courts gave it to them last time? Someone will sit the owners down What a mess! buttons and it does the counting for you. ^^^^»^W^R, You've just proofread your term paper & f f f||P It makes multiple copies. ^^^^i and it 's got typos, spelling errors and fln ^J1B§ -" rom urne t0 *- me y°u want a C0 PY °f w hat you 've typed , right? misplaced paragraphs. ^mw t^k WJIr !
