A California congressman called
Thursday for tough federal controls
on the chemicals used in the illegal
manufacture of methamphetamine,
saying that San Diego has become the
"methamphetamine capital of the nation" and that other cities were experiencing a massive surge in the drug's
use.
"Methamphetamine has become an
inexpensive substitute for cocaine on
the streets of San Diego, Portland and
Houston ," said Rep. Bill Lowery, RCalif., testifying before a House subcommittee reviewing proposed new
anti-drug measures. "The user exhibits the same symptoms as a person
using rock cocaine, but I'm told the
high is far more vivid and longer lasting."
Lowery said that production of the

methamphetamine, also known as s
peed," has been growing largely because of the easy availability of
ephedrine and five other chemicals
used to manufacture the drug in illegal
laboratories.
Lowery and two other congressmen
from the San Diego area each have
introduced bills that would require
chemical distributors to record the
names of people who buy certain
chemicals and then report those
names to the Department of Justice.
Buyers would be required to produce identification and state a valid
reason for their purchase. The bills
differ in the number of chemicals that
would be covered by the reporting
requirements.
"We may not be able to keep the
hardcore professional out of the dru g
business, but if we make it harder for
the amateur to start a meth lab we will

put a major dent in the amount of meth
reaching the streets of San Diego and
other cities," Lowery said.
Rep. William D. Hughes, D-N.J.,
chairman of Judiciary Committee's
subcommittee on crime, which heard
the testimony, already has introduced
legislation to create a system of
chemical sales recordkeeping in the
Department of Justice.
Hugh E. McManus, San Diego
County deputy district attorney, testified that 186 methamphetamine laboratories were raided in San Diego
County in the 1987 fiscal year, representing 27 percent of all those seized
in the nation.
"It is the few unregulated , unscrupulous chemical suppl y houses that
cause the enormous amount' of
methamphetamine to be manufactured , sold and used in this country,"
McManus said.

concerning alcohol use.
NCAAW, an annual event held on
college campuses nationwide, is designed to encourage students to make
responsible decisions regarding alcohol use.
The national campaign , which
stresses education and the
individual 's ultimate responsibility in
making well-informed decisions, is
sponsored by the Inter-Association
Task Force on Alcohol and Other
Substance Abuse Issues.
Alcohol Awareness Week at

Bloomsburg University will consist
of various displays and programs
which will be presented across the
college campus, all of which will be
aimed at prevention through education and individual responsibility in
connection with the use of alcohol.
BU's Alcohol Awareness Week
activities is made possible through the
support of Residence Hall Association.
In addition to the activities
planned , several residence halls will
conduct alcohol awareness surveys.
Bloomsburg University students
are encouraged to participate in the
activities planned for Alcohol Awareness Week, and to promote responsible decision making concerning the
use of alcohol.

Gene Upshaw, executive director
of the National Football Players Association , said Thursday night he expected the Washington Redskins to
return to work Friday amid reports the
23-day-old players' strike is about to
end.
As support for the union continued
to dwindle Thursday with the defection of at least 89 players, bringing the
total of union members who have
crossed the picket line to at least 235,
leaders of the union sought some kind
of agreement to allow the rest of their
members to return to their clubs.
. Upshaw said that the union Thursday night rejected management's
latest counterproposal for the players
to return to work without a new collective bargaining agreement, the
obstacle being the extention of an
expiration date for the 1982 collective
bargaining agreement that has ex-

pired.
At the conclusion of a news conference, when he was asked about reports that the Redskins planned to
return to work Friday regardless of
what the union does, Upshaw said,
"I'm sure they are going back. I've
heard they're going back."
In New York, Jim Conway, general
counsel of the Management Council,
said his office had heard other teams
were planning to come back as a
group, in addition to the Redskins.
"We've heard that from a lot of teams
around the league," he said.
Upshaw said that one team returning en masse did not mean an end to
the strike. "We will not get all the
teams back until I give them the word
that we have agreed on something,"
Upshaw said. "It would be awful to
see one or some regular teams out
there and not all of them."
Neal Olkewicz, the Redskins'
player representative, declined to

The Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship, a federally funded college financial aid program, is administered
by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) to
encourage academically talented students to enter the pre-school, elementary or secondary teaching fields.
Recipients are selected from eligible applicants on the basis of academic achievement and a recommendation of a school official and must
sign an agreement to teach in preschool, elementary or secondary education for a least two years for each
year the award is received.
The requirement of teaching for
two years for each year the of the
award will be reduced by one half if
the scholar teaches on a full-time
permanent basis in a school which is
in an area defined by federal regulations as having a teacher shortage.

If the teaching commitment is not
fulfilled , the amount of the scholarship plus interest must be repaid.
The scholarships are for up to
$5,000 each.
To be eligible students must have
been in the top 10 percent of their high
school graduating class.
They must be enrolled in a program pursuing certification in a preschool, elementary or secondary
school, be residents of Pennsylvania,
and have filed or will file a 1987-88
academic year application for Pennsylvania State Grant/Federal Student
Aid through PHEAA.
Applications and further details are
available in the office of Dr. Howard
Macauley, Room 3106, McCormick

and the White House, gaining practical experience while studying for her
doctorate in government.
Goodwin spent nearly 10 years at
Harvard teaching courses on the
presidency and American history
making her able to explore what it
takes to be a successful president and
how that role has changed over the
past 20 years.

Attempted censorship
Editor ' s note: 'The following was furnished by the Press Law Committee of
College Media Advisors. It reflects
the results of a study done on 17 college newspapers across the country.
The topic centered around censorship
and the college, newspaper. This article concerns censorship attempts by
student governments.

The most frequent source of .student
government attempts to censor or
contro l student newspapers is funding
of student fee support for newspapers.
However , onl y six of the 17 university newspapers in this study indicated any censorship problems with
student governments. The other papers reported no such attempts at
contro l or said the newspaper did not
receive funds through the student
government.
Such controls may take the following forms:
Northern Illinois
Student government at Northern
Illinois pulled its funding of the
Northern Star severa l years ago because the pa|)er would not y ield to its
pressures regarding editorial content.
The paper has functioned without
funds ever since.
Montana
The Student Senate president at the
University of Montana cut the
government 's SI0 ,000 allocation to
the Kaimin to SI during the spring
.semester of 1986 after the newspaper
.successfully defeated the commissioner of hi gher education 's publications policy proposal for the university.
Nebraska at Lincoln
At the University of Nebraska at
Lincoln , the live student members of
the publications board arc nominated
by the student government , which has
investigated the possibility of taking
editorial control of the paper throug h
its members on the board.
The Daih Nehraskan receives

about five percent of its $750,000
annual budget from student fees, and
student government has pressured the
paper 's business manager to accept a
larger share of the fees.
The business manager resisted the
student government 's offer because
he felt it was try ing to control the
newspaper through funding.
Nevada at Las Vegas
Most of the Ycllin Rebel' s censorshi p problems at the University of
Nevada at Las Vegas have stemmed
from the student government , the
source of almost half of the paper 's
$80,000 budget. The rest of the budget
is funded by advertising revenue.
The student senale a*iso confirms
the publication board s choice for
editor-in-chief and the nominations
for professional journalist members
of the board.
Because
of
the
student
government 's large role in the
operation of the paper, four staff
members hold scats in the 20-mcmbcr
senale in an attempt to prevent an
outright takeover of the paper by the
student government.
In 1984 the student senate removed
the editor-in-chief on grounds of financial mismanagement after the editor published a scries of articles and
editorials critical of the student senate. The senate closed the paper 's
budget and ceased publication of the
Rebel until the following semester.
A subsequent editor began receiving "subpoenas " from the senate 's
commission on research and investigations , created to "investi gate" various contracts and agreements the student government had with die paper.
When the editor began running articles critical of the tactic , the
commission stepped up its investigation of the Rebel.
The articles so embarrassed the
student senate , however , that other
senators voted to impeach the senator

-=WKW

who ran the commission.

The Voice received $12 ,900 from
the CGAfor the operatio n of the paper
f o r the year 1987-88. The paper will
make somewhere between $25,000$40,000 iu advertising revenue for the
1987-88 year. This will cover most , if
not all of the operating expenses . The
Voice hopes to eliminate its CGA
budget over the next three years.
There have been no attempts in
recent years to contro l the paper. The
editor-in-chief is elected by the members of the staff. There is no publications board to worry about and currently the papj r enjoys a positive relationship with the CGA .

Democrats lack tree substance

by George Will
Editorial Columnist
"Psst!" says the man lurking in a
soiled raincoat in a diml y lit doorway.
"Wanna buy 'an attack video - see
politicians naked?" It is a a tape , unedited , of Democratic candidates debating at Kennedy Center.
Buy it , but be warned. You will
wear out your VCR' s pause and rewind buttons as you mutter to yourself , "Surely he didn 't say that!" And ,
reviewing, you see that he did.
The front-runner , Jesse Jackson ,
says, "Since 1973 we've lost 38 million jobs." The rap musician of
American politics is into rhyming, not
reasoning, and may count as "lost"
any jobs that disappear as a result of
economic dynamism that is causing
the total number of jobs to rise. (Think
of the lost jobs in the buggy-whip
industry between 1900 and 1920.)

Some people say it is condescending not to Uikc Jackson seriously as the
front-ninner. The real condescension
is in not ju dging him by serious standards. Not since George Wallace has
tiicrc been a candidate so uninhibited
by facts. Like Wallace , Jackson has
the freedom that comes from knowledge that he will not be on the ticket.

In any case, in 1973, 85.4 million
Americans were employed; today
112.7 million arc. When Jackson says
"58 cents of every federal dollar is
spent on military buildup " (actuall y ',
defense is about 28 percent of the
budget) , his five fri ghtened rival s sit
like stumps , pretending not to notice
the nonsense. Presumably they are
saving their gumption for when they
stand up to Gorbachev.

Jackson asked those in the Kennedy
Center audience to raise their hands il
they owned an imported VCR. Then
he asked for the hands of those who
owned an MX missile. You sec, he
said , "We're making what nobody 's
buying. " The audience , overflowing
with liberalism , applauded , unconscious of the racism that made them
patroni/.c Jackson rather than laugh
him off stage.
The New Republic magazine ,
which knows that its journalistic
DNA will drive it to endorse one ol
these men 12 months from now , note s
gloomil y: "Jackson 's positions arc
onl y slightl y more egregious versions
of the parly consensus anyway." By
"party" read "party activists."
At the Kennedy Center , ; Albert
Gore noted that most Democratic
voters , unlike most of the party 's activists , leaders and presidential candidates, approved of the use of force in
Grenada and against Libya.

Nature keeps itself in a marvelous
state of balance. The land , the plants ,
the creatures that feed on these plants ,
the animals lhal eat these creatures,
and the scavengers that ultimatel y
decompose all organic matter, arc
intricate ly linked to one another in a
complicated web ol" mutual dependence. But human beings have evolved
to occupy a position of power and
supremacy on litis land. In our pursuit
to lead a comfortable life , we have
manipulated our environment and the
gifts of nature in a manner which will
lead to its (and consequently our)
destruction.
The story of Ihc Ganges is yel
another case of the humans ' neglect of
environment.
Ganges, the holy river, orig inates deep in the Himalayas from the
Lake Mansarovar region , one of the
highest glacial regions in the World.
The 2200-kilometer long river, the
largest in India , bathes the Indian
continent with its 800 million people
and empties into the Bay of Bengal.
The river holds great economic, cultural and social significance in the
country. It is called the Mother Ganga
(Ganga is the Indian name for
Ganges). But according to a recent
survey by the Indian Government and

other agencies , the Ganga Maa
("Ganges Mother") is the most polluted river in the subcontinent and
probabl y in the world , considering the
amount of untreated wastes dumped
into the river.
As a resull of this , the whole ecology of Northern India , its food chains
and aquatic fresh water life, face
extinction. Every day billions of tons
of untreated chemicals and bio-waste
tire dumped into the river. How long
can this go on? Ganga wilh its pollution is becoming a national health
hazard . Hidden potential lies in India
for practical training and first-hand
exposure to clinical parasitology.
The Hindu dies. His body is taken to
the cremation sites along the banks of
the river in Varanasi (Benares). The
last riles are perform ed, and he is
cremalcd — a socio-rcligious custom
in Northern India. For many Indians ,
who can barely afford two square
meals a day, the cost of wood for
completely burning their dead is overwhelming.
The partially charred remains of the
cadaver are then thrown into the arms
of the Holy Mother (as the river is
called), waiting to be decomposed by
the micro-organisms. Every now and
then a turtle munches on the well
cooked delicacy. Indians believe this
is the shortest and the surest way of

Paul Simon , who says foreign policy should be based on "caring for
people ," lifted his pinafore and cried
"Ecck!" when Gore let loose this
mouse of a thoug ht: The United Sui tes

accusation that some Democrats can
"not get over the idea that America
must always pull back" and preach
"the politics of retreat , complacency
and doubt ," were denounced by
Gore 's rivals , and especially Simon ,
as divisive.

fierceness toward the Soviet Union:
"Wc have got to ask" (an exquisite
choice of verb) them to get' out of
Af ghanistan and to stop some of the
things they 've done. But by the same
token , we've got to be willing to stop
some of the tilings that sometimes wc
have done."
Unable to leave tepid enough alone,
Gephardt , who probabl y worries that
some Iowa "peace" lobby will suspect
him of cold warriorism , could not
resist adding a dash of moral symmetry. Bui perhaps there is progress, of
sorts, here: The "blame America first
Democrats" have moderated. Now
they arc merel y "by the same token "

There is something wrong when a
presidential candidate (Gephardt) is

reduced to saying tilings like, "There
is something wrong when the most
important businessman in this country is Ivan Bocsky. " Part of what is
wrong is the "sound bite" nature of
these debates , in which a candidate
(Gore) finds himself saying he wants

Dukakis doctrine is that Midgctman

it would be a waste. That is, deterrence is not a "usc."77;e New Republic
reserves special disgust for Dukakis

My description of the scene is not
based on the numerous writien experiences of western tourists or the
recent article in Time , but on personal
experience. This is an ecological disaster which could develop into a
breeding ground for new strains of
bacteria and olhcr pathogens. The
need to rectif y the problem is immense. A few years ago, the government attempted to clean the river with
French assislance. However, prevention is better than a cure. Somehow the
agencies responsible for environmental protection in India arc either
unaware of this problem (which is
quite unlikel y) or have chosen to
neglect die issue.
The problem must be separated
from oilier reli gious and social ideas
surrounding the issue. The dumping
of the remains of the cadavers, in

addition to the untreated industrial
wastes, renders the water unavailable
for human or agricultural use. The
toxicity of the water has' now reached
dangerous levels according to the
experts at ihe University of Delhi.
The environment belongs to all
people of this world and the generations lo come. The issue of Ihc Ganges
is the concern of all human beings on
this planet. People ought to stop destroying the eco-systems of this
planet.
If nothing else, the plight of the
Ganga questions the ethical honesty
of die people responsible. I appeal to
the good sense of environmentally
concerned people and experts from
the scientific world to inform and
appeal to the authorities to lake remedial measures lest die planet loses its
natural gifts. And we must start today
recognizing that the hour is late.

Debating a pregnancy

To the Editor:
I must address the letter to the editor
written by Mary Lou Miele in the Oct.
15 issue of The Voice. In all my years
of listening to pro-lifers, 1 have never
heard one of them say, "Either a female is a human being entided to the
basic ri ghts laid down in our
constitution or she is not and therefore
can be disposed of at will."
Before deciding where you stand on
abortion , I suggest you study some
facts on female adolescent development. At age 15, her eyes are developed; her. nervous system is complete;
her heart is pumping blood and has
regular beats and pulsations; her arms
and legs arc formed; her brain waves
are recordable on an EKG; her skeleton is complete; she has toes, fingers,
and ears; all her organs are functioning (stomach , liver, kidney, brain);
she squints , swallows, retracts her
tongue, will bend her fingers around

an ooject ptacea in ner. nana , reacts to
li ght and sound.
Is this a female teenager or is it not?
•If it is, shouldn 't our response to an
unplanned pregnancy be one that first
considers the facts behind the unplanned pregnancy? Was this female
raped? Is her physical health threatened by the pregnancy? Is her mental
health threatened by the consequences of such a pregnancy?
At fifteen , is she a mature adult who
is prepared emotionally and financially to care for a baby?
Must she be condemned to carry a
fetus for nine months , go through the
torturous pain of labor and delivery,
be subjected to the stigma attached to
having an illegitimate child , and be
responsible for this child for the next
18 years of her life? Even when the pregnancy may not
have been her conscious choice?

Presidential candidate Pat Robertson and former White House hopeful
Joseph R. Biden Jr. may have a lot of previously unsuspected followers.
But it's probably not the kind of constituency any presidential candidate
would proudly claim on 1988's straight and narrow campaign trail.
Like Robertson-who backdated his wedding date and stretched his academic record - and Biden - who advanced both his law school and college
rankings and committed plagiarism both as a student and as an orator -many
job seekers award themselves phony degrees, fudge dates of employment, hide
defects , claim skills they don 't have, or exaggerate previous accomplishments
in the pursuit of their ambitions , employment experts say.
And the phenomenon apparently extends through all levels of employment,
from country club managers to electricians to top corporate executives.
While they disagree about the scope, executiverecruiters, industrial and often
coupled with self-del usion - frequently is the keystone in the facade erected by
overcager job hunters .
A few of the experts believ e that such cheating is on the increase. All agree
that blatant work-search fraud is committed only by a minority of prospective
employees. Estimates range from 5 percent to 20 percent, although there are
indications that the numbers could be much hi gher , at least in some circumstances. But nobody knows for sure because, the experts add, many phonies
probably are never caught or are onl y apprehended after years or decades.

Scientists diffe r on how humans
would react to alien contact
by Lee Dye

LA.Time-Vf ashington Post Service

The search for life beyond the solar
system has moved out of the snickering backwaters of science and onto
center stage as scientists struggle with
perplexing questions about what to do
if they find it.
Scientists attending the 38th Congress of the International Astronaut
ical Federa tion here this week tire
trying to come to gri ps with such fundamental questions as how to announce such a momentous discovery
without alarming the public alarm or
destabilizing governments.
There is no evidence yet that intelligent life exists beyond Earth. And
such a discovery, if it comes, could be
decades, perhaps centuries , away.
But scientists are working hard to
develop a means of dealing with success, if they ever achieve it.
A wide range of current and future
arc aimed at intercepting signals from
distant planets that would reveal the
existence of other worlds.
The effort, which unm recentl y has
mainly involved dreamers on the
fringes of science, was given a big
boost here by National Aeronautics
and Space Administration administrator James C. Fletcher, who devoted
nearly his entire speech to the search
for extraterrestrial life.
Finding such life , Fletcher told
nearly 1,000 people al the meeting,
"would eclipse all previous discoveries of mankind."
No one is entirel y sure mankind
would receive such news, but some
are sounding warnings that danger
lurks at the end of the search.
The news of the existence of extraterrestrial intelli gence could be
devastating," said Roberto Pinotti, a
sociologist from Florence, Italy. "It
will affect every field of human activity."
Most scientists believe that only a
highly advanced society could develop the means to transmit radio signals that could be detected from Earth ,
meaning that whoever sent them
would most likely be far advanced
ahead of mankind.
"Contact with superior beings
would be shattering," Pinotti said,
because it would mean that humans
might suddenly find themselves inferior.

Others warned that the discovery of
life elsewhere could cause many
Earlhlings to panic, and even the
superpowers might find Uicmselvcs
inferior to the newl y discovered society , and thus subject to internal instability .
Most scientists, however, rejected
such dire scenarios, contending in
stead that humans would greet the
news that they were not alone with
great joy.
As for panic in the streets, some
said not to worry.
"If a starship landed in a parking lot
in my native California ," mused science fiction writer David Brin , "most
injuries would come from people
trampling each otiier running toward
it. "

by 10 billion times."
Many radio telescopes around the
world are engaged in the effort. Most
scientists involved in the project believe they are looking for a signal sent
deliberatel y in our direction by an
advanced civilization that is trying to
contact us.
A few think that inadvertent signals
- such as those sent from Earth by
powerful early warning radar systems
near the North Pole - are more likely
to be detected.
"I think we're going to find
somebody 's garbage," said one scientist.
Oth ers believe that the signals will
be passive indicators of the impact of
intelli gent beings on a distan t solar
system.

If there is a single consensus among
those involved in the search , it is that
success would change the world forever, and the first few days would be
sheer madness.
Much of the discussion here concerned how to verify such a discovery
before the news leaks to the public and
how to reassure humans that they
would have notiiing to fear.

That could lake the form of evidence of "civilizations that have har
nessed the energy of their star or galaxy," revealing the presence of a
"super civilization ," said Jean
Heidmann of the Obse - aloire dc
Paris, France.

And soon , sources here told the Los
Angeles Times, President Reagan is
to receive a detailed briefing on the
status of a NASA project set to begin
in 1992 that will use several radio
telescopes around the world, linked
together through a powerful multichannel anal yzer, to sort through the
galaxy for a decade, searching for
radio transmissions that could only
have been broadcast by an advanced
civilization .
By the time the project has ended ,
Fletcher said, "it will have exceeded
the sum total of all previous searches

One scientist conceded dial he was
not even sure what he would do if he
sudden ly found himself in possession
of such a momentous discovery.
To the discoverer would go instant

"You can 't predict what you yourself are going to do," he said.

Lying by job applicants "happens often enough that we absolutely verify
everything" claimed by an applican t, said Jan Zivic, a San Francisco executive
recrui ter and presiden t of the California Executive Recruiters Association.
Echoing other recruiters and psychologists , Zivic said that she drops job
candidates for any kind of lie or inaccuracy, written or spoken. "Our motto is:
when in doubt , do without ," she said.
Educational background , Zivic said , is the most frequentiy lied-about area.
John G. Blanche , a Los Angeles management psychologist, said that out
right lies throw "a question , really, of integrity " over all of a person 's record,
no matter how exemplary it may be in many respects.
Employers "want integrity, thal 's very high on the list. ... If they don 't feel
they can trust somebody, there's no deal ," said Michael Schoettle of the Los
Angeles executive recruiting firm Heidrick and Struggles.
In politics , Rep. Patricia Schrocdcr , D-Colo., who recently decided not to
run for her party 's nomination , said the feeling among voters -the president's
employment selection committee - currently seems to be much the same. '
Attending a convention of reti red persons last week, Schroeder said, "What
I really found people saying is: Just tell them what the truth is, they can handle
it. The only time they get nervous is when they find that you didn't tell the truth
and then they start asking questions. ... If you 're not putting out the right information about the stuff you clearly know about your own personal life, then
I think that really reflects on the whole (candidacy)."

INXS guarantees to rock Bloom

by Ken Kirsch
Staff Writer
The Australian musical invasion
will touch down on the campus of
Bloomsburg University as the Aussie
rock sextet, INXS , comes to the Nelson Fieldhouse on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
Vocalist Michael Hutchcncc granted
The Voice a phone interview recentl y
and had comments on everything
from MTV to the upcoming concert ,
and the band's new album , KICK.
KICK is the newly released successor of last-year's megabit , Listen Like
Thie ves. "KICK' S as different fro m
Listen Like Thie ves as Listen Like
Thieves is from The Swing, " Hutchence said. "We're defying everything
our record company would want us to
do, by not trying to make a newer or
better version of Listen Like Thieves.
That's not how we work at all. Wc
write music to make ourselves happy,
and if the public likes it , great; if not ,
then, as wc say in Australia , 'Stiff
cheddar.' Five or 10 years from now,
when my kid pulls out one of our
records to see what dad used to do , I
want to be proud of what he's listening to, ya know.
"We're just now deciding between six or seven cuts as to which
should be the first single. They 'll be
different kinds of singles, though —
not the Top-40 type. The album 's a
collection of songs wc reall y like , and
especially love to play live. They

Aussie pubs where we ,grew up, the
crowd was two feet away from you. If
you were no good, you were gone."
Specialized taste is the major difference between Australian and American audiences, according to Hutchcncc. "In Australia , bands like Scorpions or Cinderella , that really don 't
play well , would get laughed off the
stage. If you 're not happening, neither
is your audience. It's been a long, hard
road, but very satisfying."
A heavy metal video flashed across
the MTV screen . A recent addition to
Australian television , Hutchcncc said
"it 's quite different (compared to the
American version). Wc sec a lot of
different acts down there. This heavy
meta l stuff is comic stri p rock. When
these bands come to Australia , they
get beer cans thrown at them. "
After all this time , INXS knows
where their support is coming from.
According to Hutchcncc, "this show
is part of a four-week college tour that
we're really looking forward to.
American colleges have always been
behind INXS. We j ust wanted a
chance to say 'thanks a lot , you guys
have been great. '"
Tickets for the Oct. 27, 8 p.m. show
arc nine dollars with a valid BU I.D.,
and $12 without. Also, one lucky
ticket holder will win a limo ride to the
show, a free dinner at Russell' s on
Main Street, and a free backstage pass
to sec the group. Don 't miss it!

sound great live. Wc re planning to
shoot a video in Czechoslovakia soon ,
as a matter of fact."
The album has been doing well
abroad , and has been well received by
Australian audiences. Hutchcncc
commented , "As of now there have
been some 700,000 copies sold. We
hope the Americans like it as much as
wc do. Wc played a short warm-up
tour in Australia, before the album
was released, to try out the material. It
got a great reception, even though the
audience had never heard the songs
before . But wc can 't wait for the show
at Bloomsburg ."
Speaking of the show, Hutchcncc
says INXS has a couple of surprises in
More for BU. "This tour is the firs t
where we've put any emphasis on a
' stage show. We used to always spend
all our time and energy on the sound.
That 's always been most important.
We've got a few surprises in store. A
lukewarm show produces a lukewarm
audience, ya know. But on stage,
we're twice as bcastiy as the Beastie
Boys. We 're going to reall y rock you ,
guaranteed."
INXS have been together for 10
years widiout a single line-up change.
"I don 't know how it works, it's just
chemistry. Everyone knows what has
to be done and we all get along,"
Hutchcncc said.
Things weren 't always as good for
INXS as they are now , though. "In the

NSSHLA helps those in need

By Cynthia Shartle
for The Voice
An old man sits in his chair staring
longingly at the door as the cool October wind chills the air and Halloween
draws near. Suddenl y, he hears a
sli ght murmur rising in the outer hall
of the nursing home. As he opens the
door. . .what could it be? Goblins?
Witches? Spooks? No, it 's The National Student Speech Hearing Language Association , or NSSHLA ,
doing what they do best: helping those
who arc less fortunate than themselves.
NSSHLA is a pre-professional
society for perspective speech and
hearing personnel. NSSHLA's goal
is lo help bring students who are
majoring in speech disorders , speech
pathology, and audiology closer to die
"real world. " NSSHLA is a division
of a larger National Professional
Hearing Association known as the
American Speech and Hearing Association.

Interacting with the community is
what NSSHLA does best. They involve themselves in community service projects to try and bring the community and Bloomsburg students
closer together. They have organized
a can drive, a Halloween party , and
other community projects. NSSHLA
wants to stimulate interest for all college students in the fields of speech
pathology, audiology, or education of
the hearing impaired .
Although the organization 's roots
arc with people in the communication
disorders field , anyone who is interested in the fields mentioned is
equally welcomed to join.
According to Tammy Cavanaugh ,
president of NSSHLA, "Wc want to
stimulate interest not only in the
communication disorder field , but
NSSHLA also wants to reach out to
anyone who has a speech disorder or
anyone who has come in contact with
one."
How could an English major or

business major get involved? Just
contact one of the officers: Chris
Edwards , vice president; Esther
Tracy, treasurer or Lisa Pfirman, secretary. Meetings for the group are
scheduled the third Wednesday of
each month .
The advisor to NSSHLA is Dr.
Ronald Champoux. And according to
Cavanaugh , "Dr. Champoux is encouraging, and has good ideas."
Although the organization is not
well-known on campus, the officers
are proud lo mention that last year
Bloomsburg 's chapter of NSSHLA
received a banner from the Pennsylvania Speech and Hearing Association for the largest student organization in Pennsylvania.
In the future NSSHLA hopes to
provide services to the community
and also develop stronger relations
with Bloomsburg and the surrounding
areas. For the old man Halloween was
a special time. Once again NSSHLA
touched another life.

The Motion Picture Industry and
the movi'c-g'oTrig 'public lost oric 'of trie
greatest directors of all time this past
August when John Huston died at the
age of 81.
Huston started his career in films in
194 1 with his first feature, "The Mal-

tese Falcon ," which has been routinely called a masterpiece.
Humphrey Bogart starred as detective
Sam Spade.
Huston cast Bogart in three other
films, including "The Treasure of the
Sierra Madre," "Key Largo," and
"The African Queen ," which earned
Bogart his onl y Oscar for best actor.
"The African Queen" will be shown
on campus Oct. 24 and - 25. Huston
concentrated heavily on the characters in his films. His best films feature
strong characterizations and excellent
acting, such as Bogart 's role in "The
African Queen."
Huston holds the distinction of directing both his father, Walter Huston , who received an Oscar for best
supporting actor , and then his
daughter, Angelica, who won an
Oscar for best supporting actress in
1985. In "The Misfits," he had the

privilege of working with Marilyn
Monroe and Clark Gable in the last
film both starred in.
Other Huston classics include "The
Asphalt Jungle," "Moby Dick," and
"The Man Who Would Be King."
Huston received the Best Director
Oscar for "The Treasure of the Sierra
Madre." All films are available on
video cassette and worth checking
out.

Artificial blood recipients are helped little

by Jamie Talan

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Ongoing studies of experimental
artificial-blood products arc suggesting that they may be poor substitutes
for the real thing. Hundreds of people
have received transfusions of the experimental substances, which some
researchers claim are worthless.
Dr. Kevin Tremper, chief of anesthesiology at the University of California Irvine Medical College, said
his patients who received artificial
blood did not seem to improve. "It's
like giving anemic blood to an anemic
person ," he said. •
Tremper is one of many investigators disappointed with the results of
one of the milky white, oil-based
blood substitutes. Dr. Gerald Moss,
chairman of the department of surgery
at Michael Reese Medical Center in
Chicago, has also given up using
substitutes.
The problem , according to Moss, is

that currently available blood substitutes — hi ghly inert liquids that dissolve gases — do not produce enough
oxygen to compensate for severe
blood loss. Oxygen deprivation can
lead to brai n damage, and death.
The most widely used experimental
product is called Fluosol-DA. Moss
used this artificial blood as a last resort in eight people with severe
anemia , Jehovah 's Witnesses whose
reli gion forbids blood transfusions.
Six eventually died. "The body needs
oxygen , and the amounts carried by
Fluosol were trivial ," Moss said.

Patients have been receiving this
artificial-blood substance, manufactured in the United States since 1979.
The Food and Drug Administration
approved it for experimental drug use
onl y. Since then , according to Alpha 's
George Grovcman , hundreds of
people have received the experimental treatment.

Grovcman says he would not call
the human trials "disappointing. " He
did say the company has moved its research efforts on Fluosol-DA into
other directions , concentrating more
on cardiovascular medicine and cancer than artificial blood. New research
efforts arc focused on delivering
oxygen to certain cancer cells and
heart tissue during balloon
angioplasty, the method of compressing plaque against artery walls.
Blood substitutes have been a
dream of many physicians and researchers for use in limes of severe
blood loss. The firs t artificial-blood
product was developed in 1965. All of
these products mimic one of the key
functions of red blood cells: They
pick up oxygen from the lungs and
deliver it throughout the body. The
first one worked in animals, and some
studies in Japan suggested that it has
had similar results in humans.

Tremper worries that .these products may do more harm than good.
The possible side effects — an adverse
immune reaction , allergic reactions or
clogged liver and spleen — outweigh
the benefit, a slight increase in oxygen

levels. The increased oxygen did not
improve the patient 's clinical condition , Tremper added.
Ri ght now , the onl y way to make
syntheti c blood is to suspend fluorinatcd oil in salt water. (Oil holds more
oxygen than water.) Unfortunately,
the percent of oil is roughly 10 percent , too small to make a difference.
Tremper said it would take equal
amounts of oil and water to carry
enough oxygen to the body. Other
researchers are trying to up the ratio of
oil to water. They have yet to succeed.
These oxygen-carrying substances
would hold lots of possibilities in the
operating room , in countries where
blood banks don 'texist, and in certain
medical conditions such as sickle-cell
anemia or oxygen deprivation to the
brain.
Some researchers have begun testing other blood substitu tes. Researchers at Michael Reese are taking
month-old red blood cells, removing
everything except hemog lobin - the
oxygen-carrying chemical in these
cells - and trying to make a powdered
substance that could be mixed and
transfused during an emergency.

"The Dead ," a film he completed
just before his death , will open in
.theaters this December, and rumors
say it is Academy Award material. It
sUirs his daughter, Angelica, and the
screenplay was written by his son.
John Huston will sorely be missed
by movie fans the world over, but his
films will be treasured in the future
just as they have been treasured in
decades past.

Career Fair to be held

The Twelfth Annual Career Fair
will be held on Thursday, Oct. 29,
1987, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the
Multipurpose Rooms of the Kehr
Union Building. Approximately 25

your histman is, where he is from , his
major , address, and p hone number is
essential. This information will be
used in the following steps, and can be
the beginning of the weeding oul
process. (If he's a senior , living with
the parents, majoring in library science, or president of the Pinochle
Club , chances are it 's time to pick
another guy.)
2. Find a Friend: Ask one of your
friends to help you track your lustman. (She must be someone you can
trust, because there 's nothing worse
than a guy who knows he 's your lust-

man.) She must also know all of his
basic stats. However, it isn 't advisable
to share your lustman with her. I suggest working out a reciprocal arrangement by hel ping her select and track
her own lustman.
As your helper , your friend will
give reports on sightings, overheard
conversations, and pertinent gossip.
These reports can be given on a daily,
weekly, or hourl y schedule. The concept behind the "Find a Friend" step is
that four eyes and ears are better than
two of each when ' tracking a lustman.
You will be amazed at the amount of
information your helper will report.
3. Scheduling: You must know
where he is at all times, and place
yourself accordingly. Be familiar
with the following information: a)
where (and when) his classes are; b)
where he hangs out between classes;
c) where (and when) he works; d) any
extra-curricular activities he may
engage in , and any organizations he
may belong lo (another strong factor
in the weeding-out process); e) where
he does laundry; and f) where he eats,
when, and with whom.
You should know your lustman 's
schedule better than your own. Learn
it , and live by il!

4. Chance Sightings: When you see
your lustman in a* setting other than
one listed on his schedule, you've
probably lost track of him. Certain
do's and don 't's to follow:
DO-Be prepared to find him, and
possibly speak with him. Going out at
two in the morning in your bathrobeis
not acceptable for the serious tracker.
Dress casually, but with taste.
DO-Speak clearly; no babbling allowed. And NEVER ask questions
that may lead him to believe that
you 've been following him for the
past three hours. Example: "Hi John.
Nice to see you again. Why aren't you
home watching 'Alf ? You always
watch TV at this time."
DON'T- Never drive by his house
more than three times per hour. This
creates suspicion, and wastes gas.
Every hour, on the hour, is a good
schedule to follow when tracking by
auto.
DON'T- Never leave your house on
a tracking mission without an alternative purpose. If you run into him ,
having a loaf of bread or a six-pack
under your arm can be a lifesaver.
5. Conversation Interpretation:
What a lustman says, and what he
really means are usually two entirely

different things. The following are
some common phrases that your lustman might use, and the real meanings
behind them: a)"Hi," means, "I really
like you, and I wish I had the guts to
ask you out " b)"Hi, how are you?"
means, "Maybe today I'll get up the
nerve to ask you out." c)"Hey, baby.
What's shakin'?" means, "Hey, baby,
how about if you have my children?"
d)"I really like you and have for a long
time," means, "What do you think
about an engagement ring for Christmas?" e)"Want to see my rock collection? It 's really neat! I've been collecting rocks since I was three. My
favorites are the quartz...," means, "I
AM A NERD. Please marry me."
Abort this mission fast.
With these five steps, and three
principles you can't go wrong. Don 't
be discouraged if you don't succeed in
your first attempt I've had at least ten
lustmen in three years and I'm still
learning.

James W. Longin , in The Essential
Guide to Prescription Drugs , says
caffeine 's side effects are "natural ,
expected, and unavoidable drug actions, and include nervousness, insomnia, increased urine output , headache, irritability, and development of
stomach ulcers."
Also, studies show that a single
drop of concentrated caffeine will
produce sudden death in minutes
when injected into the skin of a small
animal; a tiny amount in the brain will
produce convulsions.
"For a healthy adult male," says the
Physicians Desk Reference, "a lethal
dose of caffeine is approximatel y 10
grams, the equivalent of 80 to 100
cups of coffee drunk in rapid succession." But , death caused by a caffeine
overdose is rare because the human
body can break down caffeine and
excrete it rapidly.

According to David Costtll of the
Human Performance Laboratory in
Madison, Wisconsin, a little coffee
before athletic competition is beneficial. Costill found that performance
increases as much as 16 percent.
Several years ago, researchers for
the Federal Injury Control Research
Laboratory in Rhode Island found
typists with a cup of coffee on their
desk could type faster and made fewer
mistakes than those typists who didn 't
drink coffee.
But Dr. Tom Ferguson says, "If
caffeine were a newly synthesized
drug, the manufacturer would have
great difficulty getting it licensed for
sale. ..and if it were licensed, it would
certainly be available only by prescription."
Dr. Paul Marangos, a biologist at
The National Institute of Health, who
studied the effects of caffeine on brain

physiology, concludes that caffeine
blocks the brain's natural tranquilizers. Notes Dr. Marangos, when the
caffeine wears off , caffeine drinkers
feel even more tired than they would
otherwise feel.
As for the reason caffeine is
addictive, _7ie NewsletterofThe Institute for Nutrition explains that caffeine is an alkaloid. All members of
this family cause a state of physical
dependency or addiction on users.
It's obvious that caffeine use is
widespread, but cutting back on caffeine is not impossible. In 1946, our
yearly intake of coffee was 1,000 sixounce cups. By 1979, it had declined
to less than 500, largely because of
cost and public knowledge about
hazards. The cost factor is gone, but
we still have the motivation to quit."
Caffeine makes us sick, tired, and
addicted.

Spirit Week psyches up

p y Laura Specht
Staff Writer
Every year the Homecoming
Committee spends many months preparing to make the October weekend
celebration as fun-filled as possible.
However, the committee alone cannot
generate enough spirit to lead our
athletic teams on to victory. To remedy the situation , an idea was incorporated into the Homecoming agenda:
"Spirit Week."
"Spirit Week was designed two
years ago to help get people really
excited about Homecoming," said
Michelle Garrity, Homecoming
Weekend chairperson.
Spirit Week officiall y begins on
Monday, Oct. 19, with each day of the
week having a different theme.
•Monday, Oct. 19 — "Hawaiian
Day" — Free leis will be given out in
Kehr Union from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
¦Tuesday, Oct. 20 — "Hat and
Glasses Day"
¦Wednesday, Oct. 21 — "Dress
Down Day" — Everyone wear your

favorite sweats around campus!
•Thursday, Oct. 22 — .'Button
Day " — Free buttons will be distributed in Kehr Union from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m.
•Friday, Oct. 23 — "Maroon and
Gold Day" — Get free maroon and
gold balloons in KUB stairwells.
"Wc hope that people will participate in at least some of these activities," said Monica Hess, Spirit Week
chairperson. Hess feel s that Spirit
Week should really affec t the spiri t at
Saturday 's football game against
Mansfield if people get involved in
the activities.
Planning something as important as
Spiri t Week must require the help of
dedicated co-workers. Hess recognized Lisa Markle, Lisa Yakuboski
and Andrea Zimmerman as being
instrumental to the successful plan ning of Spirit Week.
Spirit Week is just the first activity
of the Homecoming celebration. So
participate in Spiri t Week and ,let our
Huskies know how much you care!

Caffeine. It's a drug. It 's legal. It's
addictive. Currently, over 15 million
people are addicted to caffeine. Including children , the average Ameri can consumes an average of 200 milligrams of caffeine a day, twice as much
as it takes to produce significant body
effects.
Caffeine comes in a number of
form s - coffee , tea, cocoa, chocolate,
pep oills such as Vivarin, dietetics and
soft drinks. Cola-type soft drinks not
only have caffeine added by the
manufacturer , but also contain caffeine from the Kola nut. Consumption
of soft drinks has sky rocketed, surpassing even coffee as America 's
favorite beverage.
Caffeine begins taking action in approximatel y 30 minutes and reaches
maximum effect in 50 to 75 minutes.

Several films have attempted to
create the reality of the Vietnam War,
but none have been nearly as successful as Oliver Stone's "Platoon." For
films like "The Deer Hunter ,"
"Apocalypse Now," and "Coming
Home," the war was basically an
opportunity to create epic cinema , not
to confront the issues of war. But ,
"Platoon is different. It is somewhat
autobiographical of Stone's tour of
duty in Vietnam.
Charlie Sheen portrays Chris, the
college dropout eager to join "the war
of his generation." He quickly finds
out that the objective of the soldier is
not to contribute to the war, but just to
stay alive.
The movie not onl y focuses on the

battle with the North Vietnamese
Army, but also on the civil war developing within the American troops.
Sergeant Barnes ,(Tom Bcrcnger)
personifies the gung-ho, ruthless
killing machine. His opposite is Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe), who is no
less a fighter, but is full of doubts
about the cause. The two collide in a
terrif ying sequence when Barnes tries
to massacre natives in a Vietnamese
village. Elias steps in to prevent the
slaughter.
Stone himself entered the war in
1967 after dropping out of Yale.
When he left the war in November of
1968, he had been wounded twice and
received a Bronze Star. Following a
stint with drugs, he enrolled in the
New York University Film School.
He moved to Hollywood in 1976, and

won an Oscar in 1978 for "Midnight
Express." His later contributions as a
screenwriter included "Scarface" and
"Year of the Dragon ."
"Platoon" was made relatively fast
and cheap. The film , shot in the Philippines in seven weeks, used a budget
of $6 million. But the creation of the
film was anything but ordinary. Stone
was determined to make the first real
Vietnam movie, and in order to
achieve this goal, the entire cast was
issued combat gear and shovels and
instructed to dig two-man fox holes.
They were subjected to bugs, bats,
and mortar-fire. These seem to be
extreme measures, but as Stone said in
Newsweek , "I was under an obligation
to show it as it was. If I didn 't, I'd be
a fraud ."
Stone is no fraud, nor is "Platoon."

Caffe ine abuse needs to he kept in check

Platoon is no cinematic fraud

Alcohol Awareness Week observed
Campuses around the nation are
preparing for the fourth annual National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
Week, Oct. 19-25, making ready to
test young people on their knowledge
of alcohol. How responsible are college students about drinking? Passing
the Equivalence Aptitude Test
(E.A.T.) is a key measure of how
much students know about alcohol
consumption.
To pass the E.A.T. you must know
this simple but crucial formula: The
most common servings of beer (12
ounces), wine (5 ounces) and distilled
spirits (1 and a fourth ounces) contain
equal amounts of alcohol.
Far too many accidents are caused
by young people who get behind the
wheel of a car thinking "I'm fine. I
only had a few beers." Such misinformation is all too often deadly. Maybe
that's why 50 percent of all driving
fatalities are caused by drunk drivers,
and why two-thirds of all those arrested for driving while intoxicated
"just had a few. beers."
These common-sense college survival tips may also save lives during
the school year:

extra mile or spend the ni ght at a
friend' s than risk taking lives on the
road.
2. Eat something — never drink on
an empty stomach. Eat before you go
lo a party, and eat while you 're there.
Solid foods like cheese can slow down
the alcohol absorption rale. If you 're
th rowing a party, serve lots of
munch ies and plenty of mixers.
3. Don 't be pushed into drinking
more than you can handle and don 't
pressure your friends to keep up with
you. Everyone has an individual tolerance. Let your friends pace themselves.
4. Keep a watchful eye: Cocktails
should contain no more than one and
one fourth ounces of distilled spirits.
Wine is commonly no more than a 5ounce serving and a typical serving of
beer is 12 ounces. If you 're mixing
your own drink use a shot glass to
measure thq liquor.
5. Know yourself and your mood. If
you rarely drink, chugging a few beers
will affect you faster than it would
affect someone who is accustomed to
drinking. Your mood can also influence the way you react to a drink. If
you 're depressed over a test, drinking
1. Don t drive after your next party will depress you further.
— whether you've had beer, wine or
Here are some common and dandistilled spirits. One American dies in

every 35 minutes. Better to walk an should be dispelled.

Guys are tricky business, and tracking them isn't for the faint of heart.
You must always remember that guys
need us, and that tracking lustmen is
mere sport.
Best wishes for a successful hunt!

Myth # 1. "You can pace yourself by
switching from liquor to beer or
wine." Wrong. You consume the
same amount of alcohol - and can get
just as drunk — from common servings of beer, wine and liquor.
Myth #2. "Coffee can sober you up
if you 're drunk." Wrong again. Coffee may wake you up, but it won't
sober you up. If you drink one too
many and then have a cup of coffee
and drive , you are just a wide-awake
drunk behind the wheel. Also, taking
a cold shower won 't do the trick either. That's only going to make you a
wet drunk.

Bloomsburg 's defense puts
on show, BU wins 28-17
by Bill Albright
Coming into Saturday 's Pennsylvania Conference East matchup between Mansfield and Bloomsburg,
the Mountaineers defensive unit had
carried them to a 4-1 mark .
On Saturday, it was the Husky defenders who did a number on the
Mounlies as Bloomsburg upended
20th ranked Mansfield , 28-17.
So tough was the Husk y defensive
unit that it limited the Mounties to
nine yards rushing.
Mansfield quarterback Craig Jobes
passed for 247 yards on 18 completions in 45 attempts, but the Husky
secondary picked off three passees to
stop potential Mansfield scoring
threats.
Husky quarterback Jay DeDea
completed 15-23 passes for 174 yards
and three touchdowns. The three TD
strikes gave DeDea a school record 46
touchdown passes.
Tom Martin complemented
DeDea's passing with 98 yards on 31
carries.
The Huskies were sluggish in tch
first half. Coach Pete Adrian reflected
on what he thought turned things
around for his club.
"We just kept telling our people
what we are doing is good, and let's
just concentrate on not breaking down
on our assignments and let's go in
there and go after them ," he said.
Defensively, we did a good job for
most of the game, and in the first ahlf ,
we just got ourselves in a couple of
tough situations. We had a couple of
penalties that hurt .us and allowed

them to get in on us, but overall, it was
a good effort for us."
After the Mounties blew two opportunities deep in Husky territory
early in the game,.the Huskies got the
first score.
Ma/tin ripped off 13 yards and
Mike Medina followed with a 21-yard
burst up the middle to the Mansfield 5.
After an ilcgal use of the hands call
against the Huskies, DeDea hit Jeff
Sparks with an 11-yard scoring strike
with 9:44 left in the firsthalf. DeDea's
TD pass was his 44th a Bloomsburg
career record .

The Mounti es came right backto
march 77 yards in nine plays. Jobes
capped the drive with a 15-yard pas to
Duane McDonald with 7:03 left in the
half.
The PAT attempt by Pat Robertson
was no good as Ron Sahm broke up
the middle and stuffed the attempt in
Robertson 's face to allow the Huskies
to maintain the 7-6 lead.
The defensive unit gave the ball
right back to the Mountie offense
when Joe Zaparzynski picked off a
DeDea aerial on the Bloomsburg 39.
Eight plays later including a personal foul aginst Bloomsburg and a 25
yard connection from Jobes to
McDonald , Jobes faked a play into the
middle , then walked into the endzone
for the 1-yard TD.
Electing to go for two, Jobes hit
flanker Joe Wood with a pass to give
the Mounties a 14-7 lead.
The Husky defensive unit pulled
Bloomsburg even early in teh second

NFL strike is
finally over
By Chris Baker
The 24-day old National Football
League strike ended Thursday when
the NFL Players Union ordered the
players back to work without agreement on a new contract, and filed an
antitrust suit against the league.
"It was unfair to the players to continue to sacrifice anymore," union
leader Gene Upshaw told reporters in
New York as he called off the strike.
Upshaw said that player representatives from all 28 teams had voted to
return to work.
The NFL owners, however, maintained their hard-line stance against
the striking players and refused to
rescind an earlier deadline for reporting. Players who crossed picket lines
Wednesday will be paid and will be
eligible to play this weekend but those
who did not report until Thursday will
not be paid and won't be eligible until
next week.
John Jones, spokesman for the NFL
Management Counsel, the owners '
bargaining arm, said that the striking
players will receive only their per
diem pay for this week, $700 for vet-

Mike Medina gets stopped on one of his carries. It was his run that set up the Huskies first touchdown.

21-17 with 57 seconds left in the third
quarter.
The Huskies added to their lead
when Ron Tumolo recovered Van
Copeland' s fumble on the ensuing
kickoff return on the Mansfield 20.
Five plays later , DeDea hit Bluiit at
the left corner of thcend zone for a 3yard strike.

Bloomsburg wins
over Mifflinburg
by Heather A bell
Staff Writer
With a parade, fireworks, balloons
and a big win, the Bloomsburg High
School Panthers celebrated their 1987
Homecoming, Saturday.
They effectively defeated their
opponents, the Mifflinburg Wildcats,
by a score of 21-10.
Running back Jamie Gutshall was
once again the driving force behind
the Panther offense. He was the catalyst of the second quarter drive that
for
touchdown
ended
ina
Bloomsburg.
Quarterback Jeff Fornwald hooked
up with Gutshall on a pass that put the
Panthers on the Wildcat 25 yard line.
Two quick Mifflinburg penalties
moved Bloomsburg to the five. Then
Fornwald and Gutshall hooked up
again, this time the quarterback
handed the ball into the capable hands
of Gutshall who carried it five yards
for the score.

half before the Husky offense even
touched the ball. Sahm , who had gotten the starting role in the second half ,
p icked off a Jobes pass and return ed it
52 yards for the score. Mingrone tied
the game at 14 with 1:28 gone in the
second half.
"I think the Ronnie Sahm interception is what woke us up and gave us
the momentum back that we had to
have," Adrian said. "Ronnie has been
just a great asset to us because he has
a great attitude. He ju st works his butt
off and hencver worries about playing
time. He just worries about what he
can do for the team ."
Following a pair of punts , Tino
Fiori gave the Mounties the lead back
with a 32 yard field goal with 7:02 left
in the third quarter.

Labosky , Buie and Arlow
win golds for BU tennis

by Mike Mullen *—'
Sports Editor
Riding the strength of two goldmedal performances, the bloomsburg
University women's tennis team captured third place out of the 14 teams
competing in the 1987 Pennsy lvania
State Athletic Conference Championships.
Chris Labosky remained undefeated in conference play as she won
all three of her matches lo take the
gold in the sixth singles. She defeated
the number two seed from Clarion ,
Jane Bender, 6-2, 6-4 in the finals.
In what was the most exciting
match of the two-day tournament , the
Bloomsburg third doubles team of
Nancy Buie and Jayme Arlow took
the gold right from around the necks
of the second seeded Clarion team .
After the two teams split the first
two sets, 6-7, 7-5, Clarion held a 6-5
lead in games in the third set and was
serving for the match. But Buie and
Arlow broke serve, held their own

serve and then took the tie-breaker by
a 7-4 margin.
Head coach "Doc" Herbert commented that the team 's goal was to
make it to the semi-finals. All six of
Bloomsburg's singles players made it
to the semi' s, as did all of
Shi ppcnsburg 's and Clarion 's. In fac t,
in six of the nine semi-finals, three of
the four teams were, Bloomsburg,
Shi ppensburg and Clarion.
Unfortuanlcly for Bloomsburg ,
they were a combined 1-6 in head to
head competition with the two teams.
This allowed Clarion to take the team
title and Shippensburg to finish second. Bloomsburg , who was only one
point off of the pace after the first day,
struggled in the semi's but still held on
for third place.
At first singles, Megan Clarke won
her first two matches before falling to
the number two seed from Shippensburg , 6-4, 6-2. Second singles
saw Wendy Wenhold fall to the number one seed from Clarion after win-

ning her first two matches.
Kath y Von Luehrte was the second
seeded Shippcnsburg 's victim in the
semi's of third singles, 6-2, 6-3.
Morrissey eventually won the gold. In
the fourth singles Lindsay McNeal
was downed by IUP's second seed in
the semi-finals. The fifth singles saw
first seed and eventual gold-medal
winner from Shippensburg defeat
Nancy Buie in the semi-finals, 6-3, 64.
Both the first and second doubles
teams were ousted in teh second
round of play. The first team fell 6-3 ,
6-1, to eventual winner Clarion while
the second team dropped a 3-6,6-3, 75 decision to eventual champion
shiippensburg in the second round.
The team totals were Clarion , 30,
Shi ppensburg, 26, Bloomsburg, 20,
Edinboro, 12, IUP . ll , Kutztown , 7,
Lock Haven , 7, Sli ppery Rock , 7,
California, 4, Millersville , 4, West
Chester, 4, East Slroudsburg, 1 while
Chcyney and Mansfield did not score.

The Bloomsbu rg University Held hockey team defeated two top twenty teams this weekend to hold on to the top spot in the poll. Here

Bloomsburg downs York, Field hockey defeats
settles for tie with Chevnev
remains

by Ruskin Mark
Staff Writer
On Thursday of last week, the
Bloomsburg University soccer team
reached the .500 mark for the first
time this season. By defeating hapless
York 2-0, the Huskies finally balanced the won and lost columns at six
and six.
Kurt Schmid scored a penalty kisk
after only six minutes into the game,
this took his streak to four goals in
consecutive games and solidifies his
claims to being a prolific goal scorer.
Diminutive midfielder D.J. Metcalf
scored the other goal, with an assist
from Dave Deck, this was Metcalf s
first taste of quality time this season
and he took the opportunity to give a
good account of himself.

Although the Huskies played well
below par against York , their superior
technical skill allowed them to dominate their opponents. The win nevcrthe less gave the Huskies some much

needed confidence and momentum to
take into the game against menacing
Cheyney.
Against the Wolves, anything short
of total commitment would have been
suicidal for the Huskies. They seemed
aware of this and from the first whistle
they jumped their opponents and
pinned them back on defense, the full
field pressure seemed to unsettle
Cheyney as they never got into full
gear, while the Huskies were making
inroads in their defense.
With ten minutes gone Jack Milligan fired the Huskies Into the lead
with a well struck shot. His effort
came as a result of sustained pressure
and good team play. Gerry Crick
found Kurt Schmid at the top of
Cheyncy 's penalty area, and unselfishly Schmid played a square ball in
the path of an unmarked Milligan who
did the rest.
The remainder of the hal f saw much
of the same attacking flaire from the

Huskies, but they were unlucky not to
have scored a second time, especially
when Schmid missed an open net.
The second half saw Cheyney cmoe
with some sustained pressure of their
own. Their persistence was rewarded
in the 21st minute with an unassisted
goal by Voorhccs Astwood, despite a
valiant effort from freshman goalkeeper Kicth Cincotta.
Both teams played enterprising and
entertaining soccer, and the standard
of goalkeeping for both teams was a
sight for sore eyes.
Martin Sterling of Cheyney and
Cincotta of Bloomsburg both exhibited remarkable reflexes and poise
when under pressure.
Their stunning perform ances in
goal was the main reason for a 1-1 tie,
even after overtime.
The Huskies are away to King's on
Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., then host Lycoming on Thursday before visiting
East Stroudsburg on Saturday, to cap
off a very busy week.

Staff Writer
The nationally top ranked Bloomsburg University field hockey team tacked two more victories on to
their winning streak this past week end , as they defeated Slippery Rock (20) and also the defending
National Champions , Salibury State (6).
On Saturday, the Huskies handed a decisive 3-0 blow to the team that had beaten them last year both
in the regular season and in the national final game. Salibury represents the only team other than
Millersville to defeat the Huskies last season. Millersville lone victory against the Huskies last year was
in the conference finals.
But th is year , the Huskies sought revenge. They showered Salisbury 's net with 33 shots and forced 15
penalty corners. Salisbury 's goalie saved 19 of the drives and watched as her team only managed 17 shots
and on 'y six penalty corners. Bloomsburg 's goalie, April Kolar , Stopped four of State 's drives.
For Bloomsburg, Cindy Hurst took the initiative with a goal n the first ten minutes of play. Alicia
Terrizzi followed that lead five minutes later on an assist from Susie Slocum.
In the second half , Hurst set up a corner-play drive by team captain Cindy Daech to finalize the Husky
victory.
The Huskies then returned home form Maryland to face Slipperry Rock and soundly beat the Rockets,
shutting them out, 2-0. Looking for their 16th strai ght v ictory this season, the Huskies outshot slippery
Rock 30-10 and outcornered them to the tune of 21-1.
Rocket goalie, Judy Johns , managed 20 saves, but the stalemate was interrupted as Daeche scored with
ten minutes left in the game. Betsy Warmerdam then sealed the victory on a penalty stroke goal with only
two minutes left to playin the game.
Bloomsburg goalie, Kolar , registered 10 saves for the afternoon.
The next home game for the Huskies is Tuesday Oct. 20 at 3 p.m. vs. another top ten opponent, Ithaca
College, currently ranked eighth.

really good Division I teams." This
week marks the end of the regular
season for the girls. Martucci said,
"I'm going to taper off the workouts
and let the girls recover a little bit until
the PSAC championships in two
weeks."
The BU women will have to get by
national power (Divisionll) Indiana
Univesity Pennsylvania and a very
tough team from Edinboro to take the
crown. Coach Martucci said, "this is
the best group of girls I have ever had
in terms of having the right attitude
and working hard so if we have some
good workouts and everyone runs as
well as they did on Saturday we could
have a shot."
The . PSAC championships will be
held on Saturday, Oct. 31 at East

only way AIDS could be spread in a
sport such as wrestling is through
blood to blood mingling with an infected person." He also added that the
chances of a sufficient quantity of
infected blood passing from person to
person are small.

Although the chances of transmitting this disease in wrestling are
small, the possibility is still there.
Frank Uryasz, director of sports science at the National collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), said this
possibility of transmitting the virus in
sports will be addressed at the Competiti ve Safeguards and Medical

Aspects of Sports Committee meeting
in February-of 1988.
Some coaches at BU believe there
is little to fear in transmitting the disease. Roger Sanders, head wrestling
coach and athletic director at
Bloomsburg said, "It doesn 't bother
me because in my 22 years of coaching, I've seen plenty of cuts and have
not had any problems yet." Carl Poff ,
assistant coach, agreed, "I'm not
afraid of AIDS and I don 't like to
dwell on negative thoughts."
Tom Martucci, assistant coach,
disagreed, "I would be fearful if I
didn 't know the person very well."
Martuccio also said he would try to
avoid situations where bleeding was

present.
Wrestlers at Bloomsburg also disagreed about the threat of AIDS while
wrestling. John Supsic, a sophomore,
said, "I would bew afraid of getting
AIDS through a cut."
But junior Marty King said, "It
doesn't worry me; I just like to
wrestle." Dave Morgan, also a junior ,
disagreed saying, "It would worry me
if I were bleeding."
The question of mandatory testing
also elicited a difference of opinions.
Sanders said, "There should be testing
because of the unknown; if we can
prevent the spread of the disease, we
should do it."
Dave Kennedy, a sophomore, dis-

agreed, I don t think it's neccessary,
AIDS patients should be honest and
not partici pate."
Martucci agreed with Sanders,
"Testing should occur because of the
possibility of close contact with
blood."
Although the NCAA will not examine the problem until February,
concern exists today . Until some
guidelines are established , the
chnaces of acquiring AIDS, although
small, are still there. As a consequence, wrestlers should take precautions, such as learning more about the
disease and seeking appropriate
medical treatment to minimize the
risk of getting it.
