Computer directed trading closed as regulators request tight controls by Jerry Knig ht and Michael Jsitoff LA. Times-Washington Post Service I j Doris Kcarns Goodwin , noted author and historian , will speak on the topic Inside the Presidency toni ght at 8 p.m. in Carver Hall I I Essex to instruct broadcast classes by S usan Fallows Staff Writer Former broadcast anchorman and reporter, Gary Essex has joined the Bloomsburg University Mass Communications Department as an instructor in broadcasting. Essex, who had been at WYOU television in Scranton prior to coming to Bloomsburg, left broadcasting so that he could spend more time with his son. Essex teaches a section of broadcast journalism and is an executive producer of Bloom News, along with Dr. Dana Ulloth. Before anchoring at WYOU, Essex worked at stations in Denver, and Oklahoma City. In themid-1970's, he was a newscaster on WNEP television. Essex, who has a graduate degree in divinity from Oberlin University in Ohio, came to Bloomsburg as minister to the congregation at the Trinity Reformed Church. Department Chairperson John Maittlen-Harris said that Essex applied to the university personnel office for a part-time position in broadcast journalism. Unfortunately, at that time, there were no positions available. It was not until about two weeks before the start of the fall semester that a position opened up when Dr. Ulloth cut his course load. The computer-directed trading programs accused of exaggerating swings in the stock market were temporarily shut down. Tuesday, as congressional regulators called for tighter controls over Wall Street 's most exotic investment techniques. The New York Stock Exchan ge urged its members to stop using socalled "program trading " for the time being, but denied it was try ing to kill off the method that has enabled big investors to systematically play the market and make millions of dollars with virtually no risk. Program trading involves using computers to assess market conditions and calculate guaranteed profi t opportunities, and then using that information to buy or sell as man y as 500 stocks at once. Because the technique requires sophisticated computer sys tems and hundreds of millions of dollars of cash, it can be used only by the biggest investment houses and money managers. That has led to complaints that the practice is unfair to small investors. Congressional overseers of the financial markets Tuesday said that Monday 's market crash was accelerated by program trading, which also is known as portfolio insurance or index arbitrage , named after the stock market index futures contracts that are played against stock prices by program traders. "Program trading was caught redhanded as the chief villain behind the meteoric velocity of the decline," said Rep. Edward Markey , D-Mass., chairman of one House subcommittee that oversees the stock markets. "Whatever happen s, program trading makes it worse," said Rep. Dan Glickman , D-Kan., chairman of another panel responsible for regulating markets. Glickman said federal regulators have failed to get a handle on computerized trading because three congressional committees and two rival federal agencies share regulatory responsibility. "The Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission , the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the banks should sit down and talk about how they can best prevent " a repeat of Monday 's plunge , he said. Markey called a subcommittee hearing for this morning to consider a possible ban on program trading, saying, "I think we have to ask the fundamental question (of) whether these mechanisms serve any purpose." Program trading was virtually halted Tuesday bv a series of moves by the three markets on which most of the trading takes place: the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The NYSE urged its members early in the day "to refrain from using the NYSE Order Delivery System for purposes of executing index arbitrage." Because the Order Delivery System was set up specifically to handle the huge baskets of stocks bought and sold through program trading, the request effectively shut the programmed market down. "This request is effective until further notice," the exchange said. The CME and CBOT temporarily closed down trading in the stock index futures and options that are needed to make program trading work, further hobbling the practice. The Chicago markets blamed technical factors for the temporary shutdowns, but when trading reopened about an hour later, there was virtually no program trading, Dow Jones New Service reported. Program trading is a recent stock market phenomenon made possible by two inventions: powerful computers that can analyze stock prices instantaneously and new investment vehicles created to mirror broad trends in the overall stock market. The new investment device crucial Bomb threats were made at a residence hall and BU Law Enforcement last weekend, adding to the list of threats made on campus since the beginning of the semester. The first call was received on Saturday at 2:29 a.m. A voice stated, "It's a bomb." Nothing more was'said. The residents of the building were evacuated to the Kehr Union while law enforcement officers searched the building. Sunday, Schuylkill and Montour Halls were evacuated after a call received at law enforcemen t threatcd that "bombs are gonna go off" in the Photo by Jim Loch tWO halls. to program trading is stock index futures contracts, which are meant to allow baskets' of stocks to be traded like commodities such as wheat or com, for delivery some time in the future at a price determined now. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange created z.futures contract a few years ago based on the Standard & Poors 500-stock index , one of the most popular indicators of broad stock market trends. The S&P 500 contract covers 100 shares of each of the 500 stocks in the index, to be delivered from a month to a year or more from now. Speculators who believe the stock market is going up can buy S&P 500 futures contracts at the current market price, making a small down payment known as a margin deposit. If the stock market does go up, the contract can be sold at a profit; if not, the buyer losses money. Soon after stock index futures were invented , traders discovered that the prices of the futures contracts did not always reflect the total price of the 500 stocks. Now and then during the day's trading activities in New York and Chicago, small differences would show up between the two prices. Awareness activities planned Tonight 's Alcohol Awareness Week activities, which were printed incorrectly in Monday's issue of The Voice, are as follows: At 7 p.m. in Schuylkill Hall's recreation room, a speaker from the Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center of Hazelton will present a film about alcohol use. A discussion will follow . A non-alcoholic wine and cheese party is planned for 8 p.m. in Lycoming Hall's ground floor TV lounge. Also at 8 p.m., Barbara Lake from Quest will speak about alcohol abuse and alternatives to drinking in North Hall's recreation room. BU's Alcohol Awareness Week activities were made possible through the support of Residence Life and the resident advisors. Reagan may consider a tax increase to ease deficit by Lou Cannon and Tom Kenworthy LA. Times-Washington Post Service Yielding to heavy pressure from financial markets, Congress and advisers, President Reagan Tuesday opened the door to an economic summit with Congress and the possibility of tax increases to deal with the federal budget deficit. . Reagan said he was directing aides to begin talks with congressional leaders and was "willing to be a participant" if necessary to reach a budget agreement. The president, who up to now has refused to consider even the possibility of a tax increase, said he was "willing to look at whatever proposal" the congressional leaders might make. But senior officials cast doubt on whether Reagan would walk through the doors he had opened. Meeting with reporters less than a half-hour after Reagan's statement, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that the president "does not envision" the necessity of personal participation in a summit or a tax increase. Reagan made his statement Tuesday after an emergency meeting with senior advisers that was triggered by Monday's stock market collapse. He met for 40 minutes in the living quarters of his White House residence with Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan, White House chief of staff Howard H. Baker Jr., deputy chief of staff Kenneth M. Duberstein and Beryl W. Sprinkel , the outgoing chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. An official familiar with the discussions said that "Reagan was hesitant at first but realized that something must be done." The president's announcement was greeted with relief by leaders of both parties, who had spent much of the day issuing a nearly united appeal to the presiden t to respond to the financial crisis by negotiating a solution to the prolonged budget impasse. "I welcome the opportunity to do this," said Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va. "I welcome tliis change of attitude on the part of the president and I hope we see the same kind of open-mindedness as we go forward." Senate Minority Leader Robert J. Dole, R-Kan., who earlier in the day had called for a demonstration of "leadership" by the president, said the time had come for a "new compact with Congress" to address the federal deficit. Dole called for an early meeting between congressional leaders and the president "to reassure investors that we are going to deal with this problem." He predicted that such a summit might of necessity force some players "to look at their positions," an apparent reference to Reagan's will- Top 10 sweetheart finalis ts for homecoming And the winner is...

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, whose panel has approved a tax increase bill that Reagan had earlier denounced, called for a "cooperative effort where the president and the leadership of Congress have to address this problem and make the hard choices." Administration sources said that Reagan was persuaded by pressure from Republican leaders and economic advisers that it was necessary for him to demonstrate leadership.

NR^W WORE GUNs AROUND/WE I p Hard boiled to soft cooke d by George Will Editorial Columnist The burly man with the bushy moustache sips his Samuel Adams beer in the Ritz-Carlton bar near Newbury Street, a shopper's paradise, and says to his wife, "Joan , there is somewhere in the middle of the Arabian peninsula you would like to shop. You would like to shop in Iran." Toug h guy, right? Wrong. Robert B. Parker , author of 16 novels featuring the private eye Spenser, is, I regret to report, a gentleman. That may explain why Spenser is becoming an annoy ing paragon , The Eighties Spenser is Man. " becom ing.. .sensitive. Time was when the fictional privat eye was an unreconstructed primitive, not a reproach. He smoked like a chimney, his onl y exercise (aside fro m punching people) was bending his elbow , he was decidedl y pre-Miranda in his construction of criminals ' ri ghts , he read nothing but racetrack tout sheets and ate in greasy spoons. He represented the anarchic impulse that we who wear civilization 's bridle can express only by identifying with a fictional private eye. Now he is being taken from us. The melancholy decline of the detective into good character, Eighties-style, was sealed in 1985, in the 12th Spenser novel when Spenser used the R-word. He said to his lover, Susan Silverman , "I'd be pleased to spend the rest of my life working on this relationship." That is the voice of the new ideal, the Vulnerable Man. Can you imagine the word 'relationship' issuing from the lips from which Bogart 's cigarette drooped? In a nifty essay in Harper 's, Charles Nicol notes that today 's fictional detectives are becoming domesticated , as the essay 's droll title suggests: "The Hard-Boilcd Go to Brunch. " The hard-boiled arc becoming good eggs, have "gone from Mean Street to Easy Street and moved in with Ozzie and Harriet," wherc 'they are practicing connoisseurship and aerobics. The closing of the frontier in the 1890s drove the cowboy to town , where he became a detective. Nowadays in town , Spenser dines in yupped-up restaurants thick with hanging plan ts that remind him of Rousseau 's paintings. Spenser does occasional ly drink too many margaritas, but then he goes jogging, lifting weights, docs gourmet cooking and soaks up poetry like a sponge who has earned a Ph.D in English lit. Parker did that , writing a dissertation on "The Violent Hero, Wilderness Heritage and Urban Reality ," a study of some fictional detectives. Nicol recalls D. H. Lawrence 's judgement that James Fcnimore Cooper 's frontiersman , Leatherstocking, was "a saint with a gun...an isolate, almost selfless , stoic , enduring man...the very intrinsic-most American." Later, Leathcrstocking, private eye, opened a walk-up office in the inner city . And today his gumshoes are Nikes that cushion the concrete. Parker 's novels, which will gross about S5 million for Dell this year, are used in some schools for delinquent children to get the rascals to read. Young readers get a satisf ying amount of toughness (especially from Spenser 's black sidekick, Hawk Sanr.ho Panza with a black belt) with some poetry insinuated. "Halk and I stood still. No one got out of the car. 'The only sound's the sweep of easy wind and downy flake. ' Hawk unsnapped his Red Sox jacket... " "Death is the mother of beauty," Spenser remarks when Susan says that life 's hazardousness makes things more precious. Spenser descends steps "with wand'ring steps and slow." When he j okes with Susan about being too tough to get sunburned , she murmers, "I'd smite the sun if it offended me." He tells a friend that the noblest love exists "onl y when love and need are one and the work is play for mortal stakes." Recovering from a reverie, he says, "Human voices wake us and we drown." When Susan suggests he propose marriage, he says, "Songs unheard are sweeter far. " When feel ing amorous, he says to Susan: "Complacencies of the peignoir and late coffee and oranges in a sunny chair , and the green freedom of a cockatoo upon a rug." She, ever sassy, says: "I never heard it called that. " think it all evens out; we must remember we 're all humans and do need each other. Jenny Thrasher talks of chasing men around the campus and memorizing their schedules. She gives many tips on how to do this properly. Ladies watch yourselves; what you are learning to do is to tease with precision. Yes, Jennifer runs around the campus looking, following, probably winking, but never getting too close . She is a tease, a girl who flirts and then locks the door at night. My advice to you is to talk to men and if you are attracted to them , physically and mentall y, go for it. Girls you must be assertive - this is almost the 1990s. Oh , by the way, my new attitude towards women won 't last long. So, kick Jenny Thrasher out of your lives and be your nice selves. I know you got it in you. Luke Attacker Tough guys of yesteryear were not g iven to speaking with the tongues of (in the paragraph above) Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens , Milton , Shakespeare, Frost again , Eliot, Keats, Stevens again. (Parker says the passages are sometimes not quite accurate because Spenser calls them up from memory.) Joan , like Susan, is an employee of the Massachusetts department of education , and has what may be an Eighties Woman 's unconcern about the fact that millions of readers think Susan 's sex life is hers. Parker growls, "I' ve toned it down for publication ." Now that 's hardboiled , right? No, he still has a soft yolk as he and Joan walk into the misty autumn evening up Newbury Street holding hands. Jennifer Thrasher out of line To the Editor:. I came here to Bloomsburg University sporting a new attitude on the opposite sex. All through high school, I had no problem "getting" girls and therefore never had second thoughts about throwing away a couple here and there. By the end of my senior year, there were virtually none left. They were all either thrown or scared away. I had relationships but not one was really serious. I always hated the petty games of jealousy in high school. So now I'm in college and have decided to turn over a new leaf to avoid the discontent I experienced earlier in life. During the last couple of months, I have been practicing the virtues of sincerity, kindness, and honesty toward women. These new ideas have backfired in my face. Girls, or shall we say "women," have now begun taking advantage of the situation. They take my kindness and sincerity for granted by ignoring and snapping at me whenever snapping at me whenever they deem necessary. They don 't return calls if time is just a bit short. And, of course, they have all sorts of excuses (lies) f°r these mishaps. To top all of this off, Ms. Jenny Thrasher comes into the picture, talking of the B.U. male population 's nonchalant attitude toward women, our supreme knowledge of the automobile, and the basic superiority of women over men. First of all I know how to start a car and pump gas, but that is the extent of my mechanic education. Secondly, women are superior to men in some areas, but men are better in others.

During that time the Mint, at the urging of Congress, has sharply boosted its sales of coins to collectors and investors, two distinct markets that the Mint has tapped with a $10 million-a-year advertising campaign. The gold coins were the product of what Pope describes as a "strange coalition" of members of the Congressional Black Caucus, upset with South Africa , supporters of a return to the gold standard and representatives of the gold-mining states. The result has been '"an American success story," the Mint proclaime d in a videotape presentation. It said the new coins have helped set off a boom in the American gold mines, as well as create a commodity that has sold slightly better overseas than in the United States. It hasn 't hurt that some of the agency's advertising has gone to fore ign sales, Pope said, displaying a photo of a Hong Kong tram painted with the gold coins.

"God willing, we will carry out our duty in the coming days and make them sorry," the Speaker of Iran 's Parliament , Hashemi Rafsanjani , said in a speech broadcast by Tehran radio. * Rafsanjani , who is Iran 's chief spokesman on the war, joined a growing chorus of Iranian public figures who demanded revenge for the American attack Monday, despite the hope expressed in Washington that the attacks would not escalate. "It is not a threat nor an attempt at intimidation when we say we will respond to intimidation ," Rafsanjani said. The country 's oil minister, Gholamreza Aqazadch , told reporters in Tehran that the two oil platforms in the Persian Gulf that were attacked by the United States Monday were still burning out of control 24 hours later. Gulf shipping executives said commercial traffic in the waterway appeared normal. U.S. military sources said three of the destroyers, brought into-thc gulf for the attack , had sailed back out through ihe narrow Strait of Hormuz to rejoin their battle groups in the Arabian Sea. Aqazadch said two crewmen on the oil rigs were seriously injured in the attack and added that a preliminary estimate of the damage was S500 million. He vowed that Iran would file a complaint with international bodies against the attack. In Washington , Pentagon spokesman Fred Hoffman denied that any Iranians had been injured . The Pentagon said Monday that the platform crews had been given 20 to 30 minutes to abandon the platforms before die attack began. The United States said it was retaliating for an Iranian missile attack last week against a U.S.-registered Kuwaiti tanker near Kuwait s main oil terminal. The missile attack blinded the American captain of the Sea Isle City and wounded 17 other members of the crew. Four U.S. Navy destroyers pounded the two sections of one oil platform with 1,000 five-inch shells, finishing off the job of destruction with demolition teams. Later, Navy commandos boarded a nearby platform that had been abandoned by its Iranian crew and blew up radar and communications equi pmen t they found there, according to the Pentagon. Aqazadch denied that the platforms had been used as military command posts to launch gunboat attacks against merchant shipping as Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger had asserted. He said the only weapons installed on the platforms were machine guns. Reaction to the American strike, the third clash with Iran in less than a month , was muted among Arab states in the gulf. "Maybe it won 't end the Gulf War, but it could help avoid a real disaster," said Bahrain 's Minister of Information , Tariq al-Moyyad. "I don 't think it looks like an escalation. A government spokesman in Kuwait expressed approval of the U.S. move, describing it as only a limited military response."Kuwait and the international community have warned Iran of the outcome of its aggressive practices in the Gulf ," the spokesman said. "The limited military step came as an answer to Iran 's continuation of these practices." The English-language newspaper Kuwait Times, whose content is carefully controlled by the government, said that the U.S. raid "only looks like a beni gn reprisal." Editorials in government-guided newspapers in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates reflected clear support for the U.S. action but the governments themselves remained silent.- Sixteenth Annual Journalism Institute Schedule of Workshops WBUQ-FM 91.1 needs all public service or recognition announcements at least one week prior to the event to ensure proper exposure.

Authorities said that nine people on the ground were killed as the front of the hotel , a seven-story Ramada Inn , erupted in a fireball. Six other persons were reported injured - one critically with severe burns over most of his body. Investigators continued to sift throug h the charred and twisted wreck age of the hotel late Tuesday looking for bodies, but by nightfall officials said they did not believe they would find any further casualties. The hotel had registered 103 overnight guests and housed another 20 employees and an additional 40 to 50 persons attending conferen ces at the time of the impact. Air Force technician s were conducting the investigation into the crash rather than investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board , which probes accidents involving civilian craft. The Air Force identified the pilot , the sole occupant of the aging, s ingle engine A-7 Corsair jet, as Maj. Bruce Teagarden , 35, of Mount Morris , Pa. He is stationed at Las Vegas' Nellis Air Force base. A military spokesman said that Teagarden was testing the aircraft's on board electronic systems on a flight from Pittsburgh to Nellis when the engine "flamed out" 15 miles south of Indianapolis at an altitude of 31,000 feet.

"We enter fall practice with a close battle between Octavius Gould and Wayne Williams," said Hall, the head coach. "There are others who could get in the scrap and help us." Said Kirksey, who coaches the running backs: "It's possible that some incoming players might also be able to help us." Could? Possible? Might? In the third game of the season, Emmitt Smith , an 18-year-old freshman who left Escambia High School in Pensacola as the third-leading rusher in prep history, set a school record by rushing for 224 yards in a 23-14 upset of Alabama. Seven games into the season, his 144.4-yards per game average ranks first in the nation, his total of 1,011 yards not only is higher than anyone's but makes him the first freshman to have gained 1,000 yards in so few games. The school records he has set are too numerous to mention. It hasn't taken long for the comparisons to begin to a couple of former Southeastern Conference running backs _ Herschel Walker of Georgia and Bo Jackson of Auburn, both of whom won the you-know-what before they were done. Give credit for realistic vision to Gould, the former starter. A sophomore, he saw the writing on the depth chart and has left the team. At 18, Smith is an interesting combination of modest schoolboy and big-time college athlete. Ask him if he ever thinks about the possibility of winning the Heisman Trophy, and he says that he wants to win "two or three.""Nothing wrong with wanting," he says. Only Archie Griffin ever has won two, winning consecutively at Ohio State in 1974 and '75. In the midst of all this talk, a few people are keeping in mind that he is, after all, a freshman , and not yet definitively the best back in the Southeastern Conference. 'To compare him to people like Billy Sims and Joe Washington , you can 't do that yet," said Hall, who worked with both as an assistant at Oklahoma. "The stats are there, but great players are great through four years of college and go on to the NFL. Emmitt has played seven games." Those who know Smith describe him as an all-around good guy and model citizen. When he spent the week before high school graduation normally beach-party time - speaking to potential dropouts, his already lofty hometown status soared even higher. Dwight Thomas, his hi gh school coach, makes Smith sound like a personification of the Commandments. "He says yes sir and no sir,sits in the difficult to figure out frontrow in class, makes A 's and B's, His shuffling, rambling style is so honors his mother and father, gives difficult to analyze, in fact, that some credit for all he does to his Heavenly have taken to calling it ineffable , Father, never swears and never says simply because they can't find the bad things about people," said Tho- words to describe it.

Against Alabama, in his first colleplay with these boys is a bit more giate start, he broke a couple of runs that made a national television audience sit up and take notice. The next week, against Mississippi State, he scored three touchdowns. In a 13-10 loss to Louisiana State, he ran for 184 yards.

Owners not above rumors by Bob Gates Los Angeles Times In National Football League history, it will be remembered as the great strike-lockout of 1987. It was a strike for more than two weeks, when National Football League games were played by nonunion teams. Then it became a lockout during a third weekend of games when the NFL's owners again fielded makeshift teams after refusing to reinstate their union players. It was a sorry several weeks, all around, and even the behavior of so me reporters raises some questions. On the second Sunday of the strike, Will McDonough, a Boston Globe sportswriter who is also employed by CBS Sports, went on the air with a prediction that Los Angeles Raider regulars would return to practice en masse a day later. McDonough's statement was made at a time when the policy of the NFL's 28 owners was to break the strike with two tactics: -Refusal to bargain with the union on any serious issue, thereby provoking the players to lose hope that they would get the quick settlement they wanted. -Pressuring as many veterans as possible, through various means, to cross the union 's picket lines, thereby encouraging other players to follow suit. One of the means they used was the planting of rumors. The NFLalways has spread rumors profitably , and this time, from Day 1, there were stories that this player or another would cross the picket line today or tomorrow. Most proved untrue. The grandest of all of this year's rumors was the prediction, made simultaneously on the strike's second weekend by different speakers in different parts of the country, that this team or that would return en masse "tomorrow." It never happened. The Raiders, for example, weren'tclosetoreturningen masse. But the rumors clearly had an effect on some players. McDonough's role can be examined in the context of all that. What background information is available? Here's some of it -The goal of Raider owner Al Davis, from the start, was to get his strikers back intact as soon as he could. When Howie Long and one or two other players wanted to join the non-union team, Davis sent them away. -Davis reasoned that if Long, a respected All-Pro, were with the strikers, instead of against them, he and other players opposed to the strike could persuade the rest of the Raiders to return, as Davis said, en masse. -That prompted McDonough's prediction. -McDonough has for many years used Davis as a source. More than once. Western writers have been with Davis here during their conversations. -McDonough specializes in stories that require high-level sources. -McDonough generally takes strong anti-player, pro-owner positions, a she did throughout this strilas, positions that Davis and other owners like to hear. -The NFL will take advantage of sportswriters and sportscasters who a resympathetic with their views. When the owners want their position or a key rumor set before, the .public, various owners and others make contact with those people. It's an efficient system. It almost always works. Anyone relying on an NFL press release for essential information this month would have had no knowledge of what was going on. The league's public relations policy has been to pretend that there was no strike. The official Oct. 13 release was typical. The Chicago Bears were simply identified as the league's only undefeated team, and the Raider-San Diego non-union game was simply identified as a batde for first place in the division. .y, There was no indication that most *& of the game's finest players were out. .v.

The defense is one of the reasons that Bloomsburg is ranked in ' Young itwio byMichcic the Division II Top 20. BU breaks Top 20 By Troy Hunsinger Staff Writer The Bloomsburg University football team has appeared in the 20th position in the latest NCAA Division II football ratings. The Huskies raised their record to 5-2 and replaced Mansfield in the poll. Bloomsburg joins two other Pennsylvania Conference schools in the rankings as West Chester is in the third spot and Indiana (Pa.)is rated ninth . The defensive backs have played an important role in the Huskies success thus far. The Husky's defensive backs consist of Derrick Hill, Tom Heavey, Bruce Linton , and Dan Shutt. Hill is the "quarterback of the defensive backs," according to Coach Adrian. Hill plays free safety and is responsible for calling the six to nine different coverages. He has 25 tackles this year. He has also caused two fumbles and five pass breakups. Tom Heavey also has 25 tackles. He has four pass breakups and two interceptions. Dan Shutt is the only starting defensive back that is a senior. He also has 25 tackles. He has one pass breakup and one interception. Linton is the leading tackier for the defensive backs with 27 tackles. He has 12 pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Hill and Heavey are both special teams players. Hill has one kickoff return for 14 yards and 11 punt returns for 44 yards. Heavey has four kickoff returns for 56 yards. Coach Adrian is pleased that of the four defensive backs "all will be coming back but one. " Two other players which see playing time at this position are Ron Sahm and Delmas Woods. Sahm has been named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference 's "Weekly Honor Roll" for his performance in the Huskies 28-17 victory at Mansfield last Saturday. Sahm made the most of his limited playing time by intercepting a Mansfield pass and returning it 52 yards for a Bloomsburg touchdown. He also blocked an extra-point attempt following Mansfield' s first touchdown. Besides these statistics Sahm has 13 tackles, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery and has blocked a punt. Woods has 12 tackles, one fumble recovery and five pass breakups. Woods is inserted on Bloomsburg's nickle defense and Sahm in Bloomsburg 's dime defense. The defenses have five and six defensive backs, respectively.

Casey Stengel, the late New York Yankees manager, talking about ... well, something: "The Red Sox changed their methods and have come in with a young and old, established ballclub that's gonna make itself. I can 't put the White Sox as high as they put themselves, see, but I'll say the Red Sox have done pretty good. "Cleveland has done great, the Yankees will be the same or better and so they should strengthen themselves, and if they win , great, and let's hope, everybody in New York , it 's the greatest city in the world. I worked for three of 'em , th ey all do well and that 'll be better for New York. Thank you." Yogi Berra , former Yankee catcher, after showering and changing clothes during a hot spell , met a woman as he walked out of his hotel room: "My, you look cool," the woman said. "Thank you , ma'am," Berra said. "You don 't look so hot yourself." Jim Bouton , former pitcher, on Martin: "Lots of people look up to Billy Martin. That's because he just knocked them down." Karolyn Rose, on former husband Pete: "You have to give him credit for what he's accomplished. He never went to college and the only book he ever read was "The Pete Rose Story.' Jay Johnstone, former I/as Angeles Dodger, on Steve Garvey: "Steve is the type of guy who, for laughs, does Tom Landry impressions." Yogi Berra, when asked by Joe DiMaggio what time it was: "You mean right now?" Bill Veeck, the late baseball entrepreneur, when asked the first thing he would do i f he were named commissioner: "Resign." Ty Cobb, 1920s Detroit Tigers superstar, explaining in 1960 why he thought he would hit only .300 against modemday pitching: "I'm 73." Cesar Geronimo , former Houston Astro and Cincinnati Red, on being the 3,000th strikeout victim of both Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson: "I was just in the right place at the right time." Lefty Gomez, Yankee Hall of Fame pitcher, about the only timein his career he broke a bat: "I ran over it backing out of the garage." Ralph Kiner, former Pittsburgh Pirates power hitter, on why he never choked up on the bat: "Cadillacs are down at the end of the bat." Dizzy Dean, former St. Louis Cardinals pitching star, on pullinginto a gas station: "Itpuzzles me how they know what comers are good for filling stations. Just how did these fellows know there was gas and oil under there?" Stengel on pitching: "When a fielder gets a pitcher into trouble, the pitcher has to slump himself out of a slump he isn 't in." Sparky Lyle, former relief pitcher, on why he preferred pitching out of the bullpen to being a starter: "Why pitch nine innings when you can get just as famous pitching two." Robin Roberts, former pitching star of the Philadelphia Phillies, describing his greatest AllStar Game thrill: "When Mickey Mantle bunted with the wind blowing out in Crosley Field." Wes Westrum, former Giant catcher, on baseball: "It's like church. Many attend, but few understand." Bloomsburg soccer team is dealt tough loss by Kings strikers so much lime and space with which to score twice in the first 25 minutes. On both occasions the defense had ample time and opportunities to clear the ball , but on both occasions they failed to do so and conceded two goals. At the half the score remained the same, and the Huskies failed to regain their best form. Granted , five key players were absent due to injuries and exams, but Kings really was no match even for a weakened Huskies team. Lacking from Bloomsburg play was committment and pride , ingredients which allowed them lo compete Goalkeeper Keith Cincotia must so effectivel y against much sti ffcr have been very disappointed in his opponents . The second half saw some more defenders for allowing the opposing by Raskin Mark Staff Writer The Bloomsburg University soccer team suffered a very embarrassing 21 loss to King 's College Tuesday . For a team that extended opponentsof the caliber of Lafayette, Buekncll, and West Virg inia Wcslcyan , the Huskies must feel the loss to Kinggs is a major letdown. No one associated with the Huskies envisioned this loss, which makes it such a bitter pill to swallow. The Huskies outplayed their opponents in almost every area except in aggression and scoring. Bloomsburg reg istered 14 shots to Kings ' 11. sustained pressure from the Huskies, but something was missing. The final pass which is so crucial in attacking play usually went astray, and this stifled many of their attacks. As time went on in the game, there just was not enough time to grab a late equalizer. Randy Meitzler scored and was assisstcd by Dave Deck. It was Mictzler 's first goal in varsity ball and great things are expected from him in the future. On Thursday the Huskies host Lycoming and are expected lo dominate this contest. With the squad expected back at full strength , the team needs to regroup and put Kings in the past as they go about plating ball as they know they can. BU set for Homecoming The Bloomsburg University football team will be out to assure itself of the school's fourth straight winning season when the Huskies host Millersville this Saturday, Oct. 24, in the university 's 60th Homecoming game. The contest is slated for 1:30 p.m. in Robert B. Redman Stadium on the upper campus. Last week's 28-17 victory over homcslanding Mansfield lifted the Huskies to 5-2 overal l and 3-1 in the PSAC. A victory in any one of the remaining four con tests would give the club its fourth winning season in a row and fifth consecutive non-losing campaign. Meanwhile, Millersville has dropped its iast two outings after four straight wins to open the season and stands at 4-2, 2-1 in the Eastern division . This is the 60lh meeting between the teams with the Huskies holding a slim 23-22 edge in the series. There have been four tics. Millersville won last year's game by a score of 36-3. The Huskies won 28-17 in 1985, and the teams have split the last four meetings. Millersville coach Gene Carpenter is in his 18th season with one of the nation 's top records among NCAA Division II coaches at 122-51-4. The Mauraders were 9-1 a year ago with the lone loss a 7-3 verdict to West Chester. Saturday 's game can be heard live on WBUQ radio, FM 91.1. Division I colle g e f ootball Notre Dame coach has nothing but praise for USC by Mai Florence Los Angeles Times Frank Leahy, the famed Notre Dame coach of the '40s and early '50s, was renowned for building up opponents to the point of absurdity . Then, the unbeaten Irish would routinely squash the team that Leahy had touted as invincible. Lou Holtz, the current Notre Dame coach, isn 't as outlandish as Leahy , but he's learning. In evaluating USC, or Southern Cal, as the school is called in the Midwest, Holtz didn 't spare the superlatives on the team the Irish will play Saturday at South Bend , Ind. Holtz , speaking twice Tuesday in conference calls, said among other things that the Trojans were one of the better football teams in the country and that they had a great chance to go to the Rose Bowl. If USC, 4-2 overall, is among the better teams in the country, it's not reflected in the national news service polls. The Trojans didn 't make the top 20 this week. The number one Division III Bloomsburg University field hockey team extended their undefeated streak to 17-0 this week. See Monday 's issue for complete details.

Kcmcrrcr As for going to the Rose Bowl, the Trojans have a chance, but not a particularly great one. They're in second place in the Pacific 10 with a 3-1 record behind UCLA (3-0) with four more conference games to play, in- cluding a date with the Bruins Nov. 21. "Gerry Faust (Holtz's predecessor) called me last week and said he watched USC on film against Oregon State and told me they were a great football team ," said Holtz , wanning up lo his assessment of the Trojans. "Consequently, I got the USC film and I want to say this sincerely: USC is an outstanding football team. Their improvement the last five weeks has been dramatic and :'.has been consistent." Consistent? Michigan Stale beat USC in the season opener, 27-13. Then the favored Trojans beat Boston College, California and Oregon State before losing to underdog Oregon. USC rebounded last week by beating Washington in Seattle, 37-23. More from Holtz: "This is the best offensive team we've played by far. (Steven) Webster is one of the leading ballcarriers in the country. He's averaging almost 6 yards a carry.(4.5), the offensive line is big and strong and the quarterback, Rodney Peete, is outstanding. "The most impressive statistic about Peete is that he has lost only 37 yards while passing in six games, yet he throws the ball about 30 times (25) a game while averaging 245 (227.2) I^Kvvwigjjgyjigjsgg yards. "USC throws the ball without ever paying the price. Peete never gets sacked (he has been sacked twice). That concerns me because we haven 't been able to get close to a passer. We haven 't been able to generate more than one turnover in the last 10 quarters." Holtz then extolled Peete's peripheral vision, the strength of his arm, his quick release, accuracy and his ability to run the option , the lastest phase of USC's offense. It wasn 't all hyperbole, because USC ranks sixth nationally in total offense, averaging 454.7 yards a game, and Peete ranks ninth individually, averaging 241.5 yards. Even though the Irish (4-1) are ranked 10th in both news service poll s and are a touchdown favorite to beat the Trojans, you wouldn't get that impression listening to Holtz. Asked if he perceived any weakness in US C and how he would exploit it , Holtz said, "Offensively, I see absolutely none. I can't think of a team in the country that gives you as many problems as Southern Cal will give you. "Defensively, they're a little young and inexperienced, but they play so hard and have such great lateral movement. I think their secondary is exceptionally talented." A Series without New York is an added plus by Shirley Povich The Washington Post This is where a World Series should be played, in one of baseball's smaller towns; where a whole community is seized by the excitement of it, where there is dancing in the streets, where the worship of hometown heroes is busting out all over, and the natives stomp and cheer and give their hearts It is to their wondrous favorites. always a plus for baseball, and America, too, when the World Se ries does not land in New York, where it is old hat and little more than a blip on life in that metropolis. Except when the miracle Mets made a hoopla of it last year, the World Series in New York has rarel y been a great happening. It has been simply absorbed into the events of a city that always appears otherwise diverted by the latest revelations of city corruption or the newest trends of the fashion zealots or the latest tremors on Wall Street, Minneapolis is where a World Se- ries belongs, and St. Louis, although one newspaper here suggests that St. Louis is not as deserving because, "in St. Louis after the Cardinals made it into the World Series, there was not the emotional lovefest there was in Minnesota." So there. This World Series has even unified the feudist Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In celebration , the mayor of St. Paul ordered the owners of all downtown buildings to keep the lights burning all night to make "a giant candle"of that city 's joy, even if the games are being played in Minneapolis. Eric Sevareid , a native, rerriembers that it took them 20 years to agree on the naming of a bridge between the two cities. The zest with which the Twin Cities have taken their baseball heroes to their hearts was hig hlighted Friday nigh t in Minneapolis ' Temple Aran synagogue. There, the Star Tribune reported , Rabbi Bernard Aaron conducted the solemn sabbath services with a Twins cap serving as a yar- mulke. And instead of the traditional closing hymn, "Yigdal," the congregation sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." It has all been pretty ecumenical in the city 's acclaim for its team, now leading. the Series. At the Basilica of St. Mary 's, a 60-foot pennant reads: "Alleluia, Twins," and nearby the Lutheran publishing house flaunts its own banner: "Thou Shalt Win , Twins." The badge of all true Minnesotans this' week is the "Homer Hankie." It is the hottest-selling item in the state's history, a white handkerchief thing emblazoned with a Twins logo and suitable for waving inside and outside the stadium, serving both to cheer the home team and taunt the other club. The "Homer" connotation tells the Cardinals the Twins hit 102 more homers this season. When the Twins started beating up on the Cardinals in Game 1, the scene in the Metrodome was a blizzard of white, Homer Hankies being furi- ously flourished blanketing the 55,000 seats. The lines to buy the hankies were still an hour long when the sold-out sign went up. However, orders were being taken for later delivery in about three weeks. Anybody with the remotest connection to the adored Twins is a personage in Minneapolis. In the fourth inning Saturday night, the name that went up in lights on one of the displays in the stadium was "Lin Terwilliger," in the form of a "Happy Birthday, Lin."To anyone who would ask who, precisely, is Lin Terwilliger, the answer given is that she is the wife of the Twins' first-base coach , and now you know. The weekend offered the first two encapsulated games in World ' Series history, played in the Metrodome, famous and infamous for its wind currents from hot-air blowers that keep the plastic roof aloft , for its lights that so often deny baffled outfielders a fix on fly balls, and its resilient, baggy right-field fence. One press-box in- mate, m a reference to the dome's hotair blowers, yelled to a Twins batter, "Swing now, you've got the wind with ya!" Yet, no one in Minnesota is apologizing for indoor baseball, and even if the Cardinals had taken a 2-0 lead in games back to St. Louis, the Minneapolis folks should have been solaced according to what they were told by a newspaper writer whose native prides were evident. She cited her surveys to tell everybody that Minneapolis is still a better place to live than St. Louis, no matter how the World Series comes out. For example: Minneapolis has better health care, less crime, more arts, unemployment a mere 4.8 percent versus St. Louis ' 8.1, and more college and high-school graduates. This she did concede: that the Mississippi River shared by both cities has an 18 times greater flow rate in St. Louis than in Minneapolis. But, aha, the sewage discharge rate is three times higher in St. Louis.So, take that, you Cardinal people.
