A disagreement between two
Bloomsburg University students has
ended up in criminal court.
Najma Adam , a BU senior, and
Imtiaz Ali Taj, a junio r at the university, are scheduled to appear in District Justice Donna Coombe 's office
on Nov. 4 following Adam 's filing of
criminal and civil contempt against
Taj.
The allegation arose from a con flic I
which occurred on Sept. 9, when
Adam confronted Taj about some
possessions of hers that he had.
"He had a few things of mine from
last semester, a coup le of cassettes
and a few newspapers," Adam said ,
"and I asked him to g ive them back to
me."
Adam said Taj had the items since
the spring semester, and that she had
repeatedly asked him to give the items
back.
"We were in the (Kehr) Union at
the time (Sept. 9) and he said he would
return them to me," She said. "He had
a box of slides in his hands, so I took
the slides and told him he would get
his slides back when I get my things.
It was in jest, but it came to the point
where he was getting serious."
Adarr. said she noticed Taj was
becoming aggravated , and said ,
"when I saw him getting hostile, I
gave back his slides." Adam added

mat after Taj took the slides, He
threw me against the wall and hit me
twice. He started yelling that he was
getting madder, and then I became
scared ," Adam said. "I asked for help,
but no one did anything."

"They (the findings of
the hearing) were quite a
shock because I didn 't
see any justification to
me going to counseling
when I was the victim... "
Najma Adam
Because the case is in court, Taj
declined to comment about what
happened that afternoon , but said
"I'm innocent. It was 11:45 in the
Kehr Union and she has no witnesses."
Adil Ahmed , a student who said he
witnessed Uie incident , said he noticed that Adam had taken Taj's
slides.

"Najma was kidding around ,
Ahmed said, "but I could see Imtiaz
was getting mad." He added that he
saw nothing more after that.
After the scuffle, Adam said she
went to law enforcement, who told
her she didn 't have a case because she
lacked witnesses.
"I couldn 't find any witnesses because it was right after the incident,"
she said. She said she later went to
Dean of Student Life Robert Norton.
"(Norton) said he couldn 't believe
that this had happened because (Taj)
was like a son," Adam said, "He sat
there, absolutely startled , then he
asked me if I had a witness. I told him
not yet. Then he said I didn 't have a
case without a witness."
According lo Adam , Norton said
Taj would probably be charged with
harrassment "one of the sections of
The Pilot had been omitted."
Adam said she had more misgivings when she called Norton 's office
to find out when the campus hearing
was to take place.

"I never received a letter about
when the hearing would take place,"
Adam said. "(On the morning of the
hearing) I called Dean Norton 's office at 8 o'clock to find if we were
having a hearing and he said they
were having it that day."
Adam said an administrative hearing, supervised by Coordinator ibr
Student Life Richard Haupt, took
place that day.
"Norton backed out of being judge
for the hearing because he said he
would bc biased," Adam said, "because of (Taj) working out of his
office voluntarily." Norton later clarified that Taj is the president of thc
International Club and that Norton
himself acts as advisor. Norton
added , however, Haupt handled the
proceedings because (Norton) would
later become involved if an appeal
was sought by cither party .
"This is why I did not become involved in the hearing," Norton said.
He added that because Taj was thc

Historian discusses p residency
by Karen Reiss
Senior /,.
' -Utor
Biographer a..L. historian Doris
Kearns Goodwin addressed ar proximately 50 high school editors and
their advisors Friday during a session
of the Sixteenth Annual Journalism
Institute. Focusing on what qualities
to look for in presidential candida tes,
Goodwin stressed the need to look
past the image and concentrate on the
person.
Goodwin , thc author of The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys :An American Saga and Lyndon Johnson and
the American Dream, graduated from
Colby College with a degree in government and political science. She
then pursued a doctorate degree in
government at Harvard.
In 1964, she was the youngest candidate chosen for While House Fellowship, a program which allows private citizens to get a taste of government. She worked in the White House
as an aid to Lyndon Johnson .
Following her work in Washington ,
D.C, she returned to Harvard where
she taught for 10 years. She left Harvard after the births of her two children.
Goodwin began Friday's lecture by
briefly explaining her opinion of what
makes good writing.
"Writing doesn 't have to be
abstract," Goodwin said. "The key to

good writing is detail."
She used as an example the research
she did for tlie Kennedy book. Goodwin said she began her book with the
baptism of Joseph Fitzgerald in 1863
to create a feeling for the time. She
reasoned that the church was a place
of grandeur for the immigrants who
lived in the slums of Boston.
Detail is especially important when
reporting presidential campaigns,
Goodwin said. She argued that job of
the reporter covering the presidential
candidates is lo get below the image
they arc try ing to create to find the real
person.
"It's hard to step back," Goodwin
said. However, she added that when
politicians make speeches to try and
create a certain image, they start to
believe this image is true.
Goodwin said lhat althoug h some
people today believe thai the press has
gone too far with its reporting, she
doesn't see this at being true.
In the past, issues such as ailing
health and extra-marital affairs , were
not brought to public attention. It was
not know by many at tlie time that
John F. Kennedy had severe health
problems and was in great pain
throughout his campaign. He felt,
Goodwin said, that it would have
harmed his chances of winning the
election.
"I don't think that is true," she said.

"I feel that people would have had
more respect for Kennedy had they
know about his problems."
Bringing this example lo the present, Goodwin said the press should
not be blamed for bring ing these issue
out in the open.
"When scandels such as Hart and
Biden come out, it 's like a war zone,"
she explained. She said that il isn't so
much what they did but the fact that,
for a period of time, what they did is
magnified.
"I wish they had stayed in (die
presidential race) and waited until
things died down," she said.
Goodwin mentioned several
charateristics which should be focused on.
"Physical energy, being in touch
with the people" is an important quality according to Goodwin. "Some
candidates don 't like the actual campaigning. They just do it to win
votes."
Another is the abihtyto see a mind
at work. Goodwin explained that
many times candidates are so careful
with what they can and can 't say, it's
as if they don't have a mind of their
own.
Goodwin said it is important to
know as much as possible about the
past histories of the candidates. This
includes how they deal wilh staffs ,
how they handled past crisis, etc.

Focus turns to next nominee

by David hauler

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The Senate voted 58-42 Friday to
reject Judge Robert H. Bork , and attention immediately turned to speculation about the next nominee.
The vote, while anticipated for
many weeks, remains a stunning political setback for President Reagan, a
rejection of the jurist who more than
any oilier person developed , nurtured
and symbolized the conservative legal philosophy that the administration
has enspoused.
The Bork rejection was the largest
defeat in the history of Supreme Court
confirm ation battles.
A new name could be submitted to
lhe Senate as early as Monday, White

House Chief of Staff Howard H.
Baker Jr. told reporters, although
several sources said that later in the
week is considered more likely.
"They 've
done
all
the
research...and all tliey need to do is
make decisions," an aid to a senior
Republican senator on the Judiciary
Committee said. "They 'll begin consulting (with senators) the beginning
of next week and make the announcement the middle or end of the week."
However, confirmation of a new
nominee before the Senate adjourns
for the year - probably in early December - will be difficult , Judiciary
Committee aides said Friday.

Abortion : A matter of personal moral values

David Ferris
Staff Troublemaker
The question has been raised: why
do we believe what we believe?
My topic for today is abortion. I'm
going to handle it a little differently
than the manner with which you 're
probably familiar. Rather than dealing directly with thc issues, I'd like to
look al the deep-rooted feelings behind the arguments.
There are essentially two sides to
die issue. Those opposed to abortion
are called pro-life , while those who
favour it arc pro-choice. This way, no
one is actuall y against anything,
we're all for something.
Thc pro-lifers arc often stereotyped
a.sreligious zealots who wan t to interfere in thc personal freedoms of others. Occasionally ihe pro-life movement is also portrayed as being antifemale , even though its most outspoken members are usually women. The
pro-choiccrs are often pictured as
butchering murderers , ultra-liberal
and utterly without concern for human life , interested only in their own
freedoms. All these imaees are unfair.
none are accurate.
I am a pro-lifer , firml y and without

doubt. What I am relating in this article is not intended to get you to agree
with me, but to get you to understand
why I believe as I do. As I am not well
acquainted with the opposite viewpoint, I shall not attempt to wade
deepl y into their position. That would
be unfair , since they can make a much
better case for themselves than could.
My religious views have littie to do
with my position on abortion. Most
members of my church agree with me,
but that is because of similar values
and beliefs and not due to churc h
decree. The two groups most frequentiy associated with the anti-abortion movement are the Roman Catholics and the Protestant Fundamentalists. I am not a member of either
group, so I don 't fit into that mold. I
suppose I could be labeled a "religious fanatic" in lhat I attend church on
a weekly basis.
Don 't think that I take personal
freedoms lightly, either. I consider
liberty io be one of my most prized
possessions. I served this country for
four years to uphold that liberty . I
value my rights , strive to protect the
rights of others , and keep a vig ilant
eye open for any violation of ihose

rights. I realize, however, that my
rights must end somewhere. My upbringing has taught mc that the life of
another human being has precedence
over my constitutional freedoms.
The issue of whether or not a fetus
is a human being, and therefore subject to tije protection of the law , is one
of the central and most heated points
of the debate. Pro-lifers believe lhat
the fetus is human , pro-choice advocates do not. Both sides have their
reasons. It quickl y becomes a shouting match of "yes it is, no it 's not ",
with no gains by either side.
I feel quite strongly that the fetus ,
even in the earliest stages , is a human.
This is not based on any court decision
or doctor's opinion , but on a gut intuition derived from my value system
and those things I consider important
in thc universe. Therefore , no "offi cial" declaration that the unborn child
is not a human will have the spiritual
weight to change my position. Wc
make our own values in this country,
not the government. Witness legalized slavery and limited voting ri ghts.
A second argument often brought
up is the situation where thc mother 's
life would bc endangered by carrying

by Don Lhomia k
Editor-in - Ch icf
In an article from the Oct. 15 issue
of The Voice , the university 's AIDS
policy is discussed. Thc focus of the
story is thc distribution policy for
condoms at Bloomsburg University.
Thc truth is that Bloomsburg does not
have one.
Out of 15 Pennsylvania state universities contacted for the story, nine
of the institutions arc distributing
condoms to help deal with the possible sexual contact of one of their
students wilh an AIDS victim. This
distribution is taking place through
the hcahh centers , vending machines
and lhc universities ' bookstores.
In
examining
Bloomsburg
University 's stance, the obvious question is "Why?" Wh y would the administration of this university decide
not to help in the fight against AIDS
beyond a deluge of words? YES , BU
does distribute literature and hold
lectures on the subject , but the university appe ars to be unwilling to take a
stand where such action is really
needed. Granted, condoms are not
considered to be a fail-safe method of

preventing AIDS or a pregnancy for
that matter , but the experts agree that
among all contraceptives condoms
are the safest where AIDS in concerned , barring abstinence.

In die university 's role as an
'adopted' parent to the students, conventional sexual morality (premarital
sex is bad) is being supported. This is
in similar fashion to the case of the
university 's alcohol policy and is
motivated by the intent to maintain lhe
standards of traditional sexual morality. It would seem that the university is
willing to take the moral responsibility of determining what is more important: 'supposedl y ' preventing a
sexual encounter versus the possibility of keeping a student from getting
AIDS in a sexual encounter with
someone who carries the virus.

Griffis said in the article that "We
don 't want alcohol on campus."
Could it be inferred that "we" also
don 't want to appear to be supporting
the sexually active nature of most
college age individuals? Could
Gri ffi s, in comparing the two , be saying, "We don 'l want condoms on
campus?"
This position is a conflict of interests. In the paternalistic role the university plays , the administration
should be more interested in AIDS
prevention than preventing a few
sexual encounters , most of which will
take place regardless of the policy. Is
not the role of paternalism to limit a
person 's freedom in order to benefit
that person? Considering the
university 's position , it can be said lhe
university is more concerned with
how they appear to those interested in
Bloomsburg Univers ity (not prospective students , but the parents).
It would seem that death is a much
greater limitation than the possibly
poor relationship between the university and a number of parents because
of the availability of condoms on
campus.

ihs pregnancy to full term. Fifty or a
hundred yearsago I would have considered this a viable issue. Today,
however, the advances in medical
care are such lhat the chances of a
mother dying as a result of birth arc
very low indeed. Several doctors of
my acquaintance, including those in
the OB-GYN field , have verified this.
Also low in number are the instances
of pregnancies as a result of rape.
The point wilh which I have the
most trouble is the matter of ihe
"unwanted" child. Thc pro-choice
stand is that thc unwanted child' s
"quality of life" will not be as high as
if hc or she were wanted , and tlie
mother 's "quality of life" would bc
equall y diminished. My first reaction
lo this is: "That 's lhc breaks." An
estimation of future lifesty le docs not ,
in my book, warrant the killing of a
*•
human bcine .

My second reaction is to remember
the large numbers of parents who
want desperately to adopt a child but
arc unable to do so, due to thc shortage
of "unwanted" children.
If our society were to embrace this
concept that an "unwanted" person
could be killed at the decision of others, wc would have to apologize to
some people. Thc Nazis killed off
several million people who were
"unwanted". Since the Nazis controlled the government and the military , they could define who was
"wanted" and who wasn 't. Conveniently, they could also define who was
"human " and who wasn 't.
To continue this train of thoug ht ,
p'erhaps I should have my grandparents terminated. They aren 't usefu l
for anything, and it is apparent that
nobody wants them.
If you accept thc fetus as being

Dotfr pur

human , then you will see the contradictions in this argument. Either we
value human life , or we don't.

As you can see, my opinions on
abortion are emotionally charged.
They are clear-cut. So are thc views of
those who favour abortion. They are
unable to present arguments strong
enough to make me change my mind ,
just as I am unable to change theirs.
The issue is of such importance, involving the lives of children as it does,
that I cannot let it lie even when the
laws of the land go against me.
I hope that now you see why I feci
as 1 do, even though you may not
agree. An issue such as this cannot bc
solved merely by the passage ofa law ,
because it involves the values of
people and the things they consider
most important in life.

Ap artheid: The continuing evil
by Robert Bailey
Staff Columnist
A couple of semesters ago I was
given an assignment in my Comp. II
class. We were to go back to the week
we were born and look at a copy of
Time ov Newsweek on microfilm. So I
made my way to the library , found my
week and started to look through thc
magazine. Across the front was the
word APARTHEID.
A magazine from 1966 wilh
Apartheidon the cover? I thought that
was an '80's word, an '80's problem.
As I read the article it sounded like
every other article I had ever read on
the subject.

It struck me that the world has
known about this situation in South
Africa for at least 20 years. Yet the
situation remains the same. A small
group of white colonists rule over a
large black population. A society
where the rich become richer and the
poor, poorer.
To be perfectly honest, I hadn 't
really thought much about South
Africa since the state-imposed news
censorship started about a year ago.
There really hasn't been that much
news coverage on a subject certainly
worth the coverage. The article last
week in The Voice is what brought it
back to the front of my mind.
Some journalists may argue that it
isn't newsworthy any longer. I disagree. A gross violation of civil rights
that has persisted for at least 20 years
is certainly newsworthy.
I have read articles in wh ich the
South African government was

linked to the Iran-Contra affair as a
contributor of funds to aid the 'freedom fighters ' (what a misnomer).
This was certainly newsworthy!
Those in the fields of print and
electronic journalism must not tolerate first , having stories subjected to
censorship, second , must not allow
our government to be so wishy-washy
on its policy of human rights, and

third, must not allow the world to
forget that a gross violation of civil
and human rights has taken place and
is continuing to take place in South
Africa.
If the government won 't take a
stand against Aparheid then we must!
I would hate for my child to have the
same assignment in his comp. class
and feel , as I do, that nothing has
changed.

Robertson reveals tax records
by Robert L. Jackson

L.A.Times-Washington I'osl Service

Former television evangelist Pat
Robertson , whose financial affairs
are falling under intense scrutiny, released personal records Thursday
showing that he and his wife earned
$334,853 in total income over the
past two years and paid federal income taxes of $34,540.
Copies of federal joint income tax
returns showed lhat tfie Republican
presidential hopeful and his wife
Dede also made deductible charitable
contributions of $137,412 over the
two-year period. Most of that amount
- a total of $103,809 - went to the taxexempt Christian Broadcasting Network that Robertson founded in
1960. Robertson, who formally announced his candidacy for the GOP
presidcnl nomination Oct, 1, made
the tax returns public within the 30day filing period required of all declared candidates.
Before entering the presidential
field , Robertson resigned as a Southern Baptist and sold his at an inflated
price. Questions about the sale had
been raised Thursday by the Washington Post, which said lhe system
was sold for at least $100,000 more
than it cost to a shell company in
Denver associated with a Robertson
campaign aide. The Post questioned
whether the sale for$337 ,500 was designed to allow a corporation to make
a large campaign contribution that
otherwise is prohibited by law. Constance Snapp, the campaign's communications director, said that the
reported transaction was "a very

straight deal" that was disclosed to
the Federal Election Commission.
She said it was "a sale of hard assets"
and was "not a method of fund-raising."
Other officials said the campai gn
was in thc process of leasing backed
system. Snapp would not identify the
buyers ofthe system other than to say
the transaction was put together by
Denver attorney Clarence A. Decker,
one df Robertson 's regional campaign directors. Attempts to reach
Decker for comment Thursday were
unsuccessful.

The Robertson campaign listed the
buyer as "Computer Futers Ltd.," a
company that the Post said had
Decker's law firm address but was
not incorporated in Colorado. Snapp
said the sale was "at a fair price" but
that $337,500 was only a down payment and the final price has not been
determined. Snapp said the final
selling price would include certain
assets othen the computer system,but
she said she could not describe them.
The dispute over the computer sale
arises as the Internal Revenue Sevice
finishes conducting a lengthy audit to
determine if the Christian Broadcasting Network improperly funneled
money to other tax-exempt organizations that did early groundwork for
Robertson 's presidential bid.
CBN, which has federal tax-exempt
status because of its religious activities, is prohibited from engaging in
political activities
Public records show that CBN provided as much as $8.5 million in grad
unpaid loans to two affiliated organi-

zations, the Freedom Council and tli e
National Freedom Institute , over thc
last three years. The council and the
institute were formed to encourage
Christians to become active in national politics and were largely responsible for boosting Robertson 's
political fortunes. Campaign officials
say, however, that the organizations
never sough to promote Robertson as
the onl y Christian evangelical candidate.
Americans for Robertson reported
in its first filing with the FEC last
week that it had raised more than Sl 1
million in campaign contributions for
Robertson through Sept. 30. That
figure did not include the CBN grants
that are under study by the revenue
service.

President Reagan said Thursday
night that he is willing to negotiate a
deficit-reduction package with Congress lhat includes new taxes, but he
repeatedly blamed excessive spending by the Democratic - controlled
Congress as the primary reason for the
economic ills that led to this week's
stock market crash.
At his first domestic news conference in seven months, Reagan said the
gyrations on Wall Street this week are
"a cause for concern and a cause for
action " while asserting that the
nation 's fundamental economic condition remains sound. "This is purely
a stock market thing and there are no
indicators oue of recession or hard
times at all," Reagan said at the nationally televised news conference.
It was unclear immediately afterward whether Reagan's performance
had accomplished its goal of reassuring Wall Street. Peter Cohen, chairman of Shearson Lehman Brothers.
called the session "very, very disappointing" and said the president
showed insufficient understanding of
thc stock market and the economy.
ButPeter Buchanan , president of First
Boston Corp., said Reagan 's remarks
displayed "the right attitude. "
Hours before the news conference,
White House officials had tried to
calm economic fears by circulating
the plan to have Reagan name a highlevel administration team to negotiate
with Congress on a deficit-reduction
package. Reagan did so, saying, "I'm
putting everything on the table, with
the exception of Social Security , with
no preconditions."

Pension fund unaffected
by market fluctuations
by Mike Causey

LA.Times-Washington Post Service

The federal system bases benefits on length of service and salary. It
promises them and their survivors benefits they cannot outlive that are
linked to the cost of living. Under the federal pension program employees must contribute 7 percent salary during their working careers ,
whereas most private pension plans require little or no employee contribution. But because of their own investment - and because the
pension plan also covers members of Congress - the federal retirement
system typically pays a better benefit. Workers who retire at age 55
with 30 years of service, for example, a starting benefit equal to just
over 56 percent of their highest 3-year average salary. A worker who
has 41 or more years of service gets an 80 percent benefit. Many private
plans penalize workers who retire before age 62, and many base the
benefit on the employee's highest 5-year average salary, although some
offer stock options or other benefits.

As anticipated by the administration officials who spent hours intently
preparing Reagan, questions about
the economy dominated the
president's 42nd news conference.
ButReagan also dealt with these other
controversial domestic and foreign
policy matters:
- He warned Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini that he is "at
great risk" if he authorizes more attaches on tankers flying the American
flag in the Persian Gulf. Reagan
strongly defended U.S. presence in
the region and reiterated his opposition to congressional attempts to
evoke the 1973 War Powers Resolution. "We are not there to start a war,"
Reagan said. "We are there to protect
neutral nations ' shipping in international waters."
- He said the campaign waged by
opponents of Supreme Court nominee R. Bork was "totally out of line,"
but he did not hold out any hope that
Bork will be confirmed when the
Senate votes Friday.
- Reagan said he did not know the
date or agenda of a superpower sut
that U.S. and Soviet negotiations have
agreed to in principle, but he added
that he honed Soviet leader Mikhail

Gorbachev would "see a great deal"
of America when he visits here. The
summit is expected to be held here
late next month.
Two themes dominated Reagan's
discussion of economic conditions.
Thet was his view that the nation 's
economy has not been basically
shaken by the ups-and-downs on Wall
Street. The second was that he remains convinced that tax increases,
particularly income tax hikes, are
undesirable despite his willingness to
negotiate with Congress on "a procedure for deficit-reduction discussions
that will be productive and constructive."
Reagan refused several attempts to
pin him down on exacdy what he
might accept, saying that it would be
unwise of him to make such a commitment in advance of the negotiations.
"This situation requires that all sides
make a contribution to the s if it is to
succeed and that a package be developed that keeps taxes and spending as
low as possible," the president said in
his opening sj atemen t, before announcing that the final deficit figures
for fiscal 1987 will show a reduction
of $73 billion from 1986.
While saying m his opening statement that "we shouldn 't assume the
stock market's excess volatility is
over" and acknowledging that this
poses a "challenge" for the White
House and Congress, Reagan minimized the importance of the crash in
his answer to the first question about
the economy.
"I think this was a long-overdue
correction. And what factors led to
this kind of getting into the panic
stage, I don 't know ," Reagan said.

Federal money sound

Federal workers and retirees who complain about the conservative
investment habits of their pension fund should be delighted, after this
week, that their fund , unlike those of some state and local governments,
doesn't play the stock market.
The federa l retirement program is the nation 's largest "company "
pension covering 5 million workers, retirees and spouses.lt pays benefits to a variety of former federal workers including several ex-presidents, senators and House members and a substantial number of civil
servants who retired in the 1940s before most of the current workforce
was born.

former Republican senator from New

Union seeks re-aff iliation

by Henry Weinstein

LA.Times-Washington Post Service

After two hours of often stirring -testimony, the Commission of Fine Arts
Thursday voted 4-1 to reject the proposed Vietnam Women 's Memorial, the
key element of which is a bronze statue of a nurse at the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Constitution Gardens.
Commissioners who opposed the addition expressed their beliefs that the
veterans memorial is symbolically complete and that to approve the proposal
would establish a precedent for placing other figurative statues tliere. "It will
never end," said Chairman J. Carter Brown, referring to other proposals.
Reaction was swift and bitter. The commission "just insulted the women of
America," said Stephen Young, vice president of the Vietnam Women 's
Memorial Project , shordy after the vote. "What they said is, 'We're basically
going to be insensitive to women.' That's what men have done for a long
time."Donna-Marie Boulay, a Vietnam veteran and one ofthe founders ofthe
organization, issued a statement accusing the commission of "prejudging the
project 's request before ever hearing the testimony" and declaring, "This
matter is far from over. We are going to pursue it aggressively."
Although the addition has been approved by Interior Secretary Donal, who
submitted a letter of support, italso needs approval by the Commission of Fine
Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission, according to the law
establishing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Boulay said the women's
memorial group has not decided what course of action to take in view of
Thursday 's vote.
Sen. David F. Durenberger, R-Minn., commenting that women are the
'forgotten heroes" of the Vietnam war and other wars, testified that the
addition is necessary in order to "complete" the veterans memorial, which
consists of a V-shaped wall of black granite designed by Maya Lin and
containing the names of all American military fatalities in Vietnam; a flag
standard; and a realistic statue of three infantrymen, designed by Frederick
Hart. The Hart sculpture and flagpole were added to ihe memorial in 1984
because of intense controversy over Lin's design. A letter from Lin , stating
that she is "as opposed to this addition as I was to the last," was read at
Thursday 's meeting.Hart, now a member ofthe commission, did not vote, but
he testified that his statue was intended to be "a symbol for the entire
population" of those who served in Vietnam. Brown agreed, saying that "one
could understand that the figures there are symbolic of humankind."

Taj said hc chose the administrative
hearing because "less people are involved and the decision is more concrete." Taj added that he declined the

The hearing took place on Sept. 18
with Taj bringing Ahmed as a witness
and Kath y Fisher acting on the part of

"I had trouble finding a witness,"
Adam said. "(Fisher) finally came in
as a witness because she saw how

she didn 't want to get involved because she had a family." Adam said
another person who said he saw thc

Board approves appropriation

The Board of Governors for the
State System of Higher Education
approved a 1988-89 Educational and
Genera l appropriation request of
$339,986,733. Thc request is a
$44,636,733 increase over last year's
appropriation of $295,350,000.
"Because die state appropriation
represents 60.1 percent of our educational and genera l budget , thc increase wc arc requesting equals only
9.08 percent in new revenue," Wayne
G. Failor, vice chancellor for finance
and administration , said.
Thc requested slate appropriation
provides for mandatory base pay and
benefit increases for existing personnel. Cost increases arc provided for
services , utilities , supplies , and
equipment by using die Congressional Budget Office inflationary
projection of five percent for the

1988-89 fiscal year. Additionally,
cost increases spurred by significant
enrollment growth arc included in the
request.
The total enrollment of thc Suite
System has grown lo a preliminary
estimate of more than 89,000 students
this fall. That is an increase of almost
3,000 students in one year, and nearly
6,000 students since 1985-86.
"Willi an anticipated increase of
1,265 full-time students this year, we
are projecting associated cost increases of approximatel y $4.6 million ," Failor said.
The educational and general request also contains two specific components, including antici pated statuatory salary increases for individuals
who supervise student teachers from
State System universities and
$250,000 for continuing support of

ramifications of this type of incident
and its resultant behavior."
Taj said the findings of the hearing
"Recommended lhat we go to counseling individually."
"I received a verbal warning because of my temperment and loudness," Taj said. "I assume the counseling was for mc losing my temper
and becoming loud."
"They (the findings of the hearing)
were quite a shock," Adam said,
"because I didn 't sec any justification
to me going to counseling when I was
the victim. I was made to feel guilty
throughout the whole process, and
then here they said to go and get some
counseling."

Acting advisor for Adam 's case
Thomas Gordon of Michael R. Lynn
and Associates said , "According to
the facts that were presented to mc,
here was a girl that was assaulted and
then told Uiat she should go for counseling. I feel that this is inappropriate."
Adam also felt lhc findings were
unsatisfactory. After checking The
Pilot , the student handbook , she
wrote a letter lo Norton in regards to
seeking an appeal on thc grounds that
she felt Taj 's punishment wasn 't severe enough.
"I didn 't receive a reply from Norton , so I went to (Vice President for

i

Student Life) Dr. Jerrold Griffis,"
Adam said. "He said Mr. Norton had
washed his hands of the matter." After
explaining the situtation to Adam,
Griffis asked her if it would be all
right if he gave Taj a verbal warning.
"I said that would be fine," Adam
said. "Then he asked me if I was
happy with (the verbal warning). I
wanted to say yes, but something told
me 'Hey, you 're getting the rotten end
of this deal ,' so I told him th at I was
not satisfied with this because this is
not what The Pilot said. Then he held
up Ttie Pilot and said this is an
unofficial book anyway."
In regards to his convcrsation.with
Adam , Gri ffis said , "I am not allowed
to talk about specific disciplinary
cases.
' According to Coombc's office ,
Adam filed one count of harrassment
and one count of disorderly conduct
against Taj. Thc summary allcdgcs
that Taj pushed Adam twice, became
belli gerent and used obscene language. Taj claims to have pleaded not
guilty in Coombc's office on the
morning of Oct. 23.
Contacted after 1 p.m. on Oct. 23,
Coombc's office claimed that Taj had
failed to appear and enter his plea to
thc charges. Taj' s plea sets the stage
for the Nov. 4 hearing at Coombc's
office.

Kirkpatrick joins race
f o r Rep ublican ticket

by Don Shannon

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Former Ambassador to the
United Nations Jeane J. Kirkpatrick , "favorite daughter " of U.S.
conservatives, has decided to seek
the Republican nomination for
president , friends said Friday.
Kirkpatrick , 60, was a Democrat
until she left the U.N. post in 1985,
frustrated at not being chosen by
President Reagan to be his third
secretary of state. Since then , she
has written a nationally syndicated
column , performed on the lecture
circuit and resumed a fellowship at
the American Enterprise Institute
and a history professorship at

I

Georgetown University.
Her bold views and sharp
tounge would be certain to unliven
the Republican race. She is expected to formally announce her
entry Monday at a news conference in Washington. Her candidacy would be only the second
serious one by a woman in the
Republican Party.
In 1964, former Sen. Margaret
Chase Smith of Maine actively
campaingned for president in primaries in New Hampshire, Illinois
and Oregon , and became the first
woman in either major party to be
nominated for president at a national convention.

It was quiet last Monday in the Pit, the warren of cubbyholes at the center
of Merrill Lynch's gold-toned office suite in downtown Los Angeles, where
the youngest stockbrokers sit shoulder to shoulder, working the phones and
staring at quotes on flashing computer screens.
The Dow had collapsed. Untold billions ofthe world's wealth had vanished.
The young brokers read the numbers DJI -508, cleared their desks, mumbled
reassurances and swept out the door as quickly as they could after the closing
bell had sounded, witnesses to enough history for a single day.
Kirk Michie, 25, a University of Southern California finance graduate, less
that a month away from getting married, had stress to burn. He jumped in his
Porshe, drove from Bunker Hill to Beverly Hills, and worked out at a friend' s
gym. "Really hard," Michie said.
Welcome to the Crash of '87, as seen through the eyes of the Classes of '80
through '85. Yuppies all - aspiring ones, at least the best and brightest of
America's business schools and English departments alike have flocked in the
1980s to the securities industry, cowboys and cowgirls hankering to ride a bull
market to all the good things love of money can buy.
When the bubble burst last week, the line formed behind Texas billionairs
H. Ross Perot as gurus and sages sought to attribute the disaster, in part, lo the
youngsters' zealotry.
"There's too much money chasing too few stocks managed by 28-year-old
boys paid $500,000 a year who don 't know what they're doing," snapped
Perot, 57.
Tragic stories circulated of dollars loved and lost - of young specialist
traders who'd taken half-million dollar hits in a day, of baby brokers whose
clients' margin accounts were cleaned out overnight. One joke was ubiquitous: "What do you call a yuppie stockbroker? ... Hey waiter!"
Yet in many Los Angeles brokerages, Kirk Michie's breezy calm, rather
than the apocryphal panic was the rule. Many young market professionals
greeted the Dow 's unprecedented slide, and the chaotic swings that followed
through the week, with an almost perverse equanimity.

Thc prospects of Artificial Intelligence were discussed in a workshop on
Oct. 22.
"A-I is the process of having the computer think and work for itself without
a human-made program," explained Dr. Michael Gaynor during Thursday's
meeting at Hartline Science Center.
Dr. Gaynor, along with fellow professors, spoke about the A-I program here
at Bloomsburg. "What we want the computers to do is to basically think for
themselves without having a person program the computer to think," Gaynor
said. "Ultimately we want computers to simulate human behavior."
At the present time the A-I program is trying to develop a computer
monitored greenhouse. This will enable the temperature of the greenhouse to
be monitored 24 hours a day and adjust to the changing environment.
"At this moment Bloomsburg is at the 'critical mass' for the A-I program ,"
explained Dr. Richard Montgomery. "With Stanford University developing
better and better programs for A-I, the field is never closed."
"We hope to do the same thing soon here at Bloomsburg." said Dr. Gaynor..

Nuclear weapon treaty nearing comp letion

by Norman Kempster and William J. Katon
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

; With aides on both sides expressing growing optimism , Secretary of
State George P. Shultz and Soviet
Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze virtuall y completed work
Thursday on a long-pending treaty to
ban medium- and shorter-range nuclear missiles.
Although several issues, including
the Soviet demand for on-site missies
in Western Europe, remain unsettled ,
a sen ior U.S. official said he expected
final agreement to be reached before
Shultz leaves Moscow.
Thc same official said lhat Shultz
and Shevardnadze also made enough
progress on the far m ore complicated
issue of reducinglong-range strategic

nuclear forces so that "the makings of
a package is there." The official said
Shevardnadze indicated that Soviet
leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev had
placed strategic arms at the top of his
agenda for his personal talks with
Shultz Friday.
State Department spokesman
Charles Redman and his Soviet
counterpart , Foreign Ministry
spokesman Gcnnady I. Gerasimov,
held a joint briefing for reporters,
joking good-naturedly with each
other and seeming to compete for the
most optimistic assessment.
The official Soviet news agency
Tass said il was thc first joint U.SSoviet briefing ever held in Moscow.
The two men shared a podium last
month in Washington during similar

Shultz-Shevardnadze talks.
"When we talked to them (Shultz
and Shevardnadze) after their second
session this afternoon , they both told
us they considered the meetings to
have been constructive , to have been
problem-solving in nature and that
they thought they had made good
progress during the day 's meetings,"
Redman said.
"The Soviet side feels optimistic
and regards it as the principal after
today 's meeting in Moscow to finalize the work to prepare a treaty on the
elimination of medium- and shorterrange missiles," Gerasimov added.
Bolh sides hope to have the treaty
ready for signing by President Reagan
amd Gorbachev at a summit later this
year.

a major radiation hazard .
The Soviet satellite was Cosmos1402, one of a long series of reconnaissance satellites lofted by the Soviet Union to monitor American naval activity.
Each 6,000-pound satellite has a
normal operating life of about six.
After six months, small explosive
charges break it up into three or more
pieces and the nuclear reactor is
boosted into a much higher orbit,
where it can circle harmlessly for
hundreds of years.
In the case of Cosmos-1402, however, the booster rockets did not worn
the satellite broke apart in December
1982, causing worldwide concern
about falling debris.
But on Jan.23, 1983, lhemainbody
ofthe satellite fell harmlessly into the
Indian Ocean.
On Feb. 7, the 1,000-pound reactor
section of the satellite dissappeared
from U.S. radar screens somewhere
over the South Atlantic Ocean, about
1,100 miles east of Brazil.
Scientists throughout the world
speculated that it had burned up about
miles above the Earth's surface, but
no evidence emerged to support this
theory.
Leifer and his colleagues had to

wait for more than a year for prevailing winds to push some of the dispersed uranium from the satellite into
the Northern Hemisphere, where
high-altitude sampling by balloon is
performed on a routine basis by government agencies. "We just couldn 't
afford to go to South America for
sampling," Leifer said in a telephone
interview Thursday.
But in February and March 1984,
they did launch balloon flights from
Holloman Air Force Base in New
Mexico. While the balloon climbed
between altitudes of 15 and 21 miles,
pumps drew air through filters and
trapped minute particles containing
uranium.
The amount and the isotopic composition of uranium on the filters was
determined by researchers at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersberg, Md.
The analysis ofthe uranium and die
calculation of the amounts present in
the air took nearly three years, according to Z. Russell Juzdan , Leifer's coworker.
From the amounts of uranium present and from a knowledge of air motions in the upper atmosphere, Leifer
and Jurzdan calculated that at least 88
pounds ofthe uranium were dispersed
in iheatmosphere, most of it uranium235, the highly radioactive isotop
that is used in reactors and bombs.

Soviet satellite reportedly
leaked radioactive material

by Thomas H. Maugh

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

A nuclear-powered Soviet spy satellite that fell to Earth in 1983 burned
up in the upper atmosphere, releasing
at least 80 percent of the 110 pounds
of radioactive uranium in its reactor,
U.S. scientists said in a report published Friday.
That radioactivity has dispersed
throughout the upper atmosphere,
raising the amount of the most radioactive form of uranium there by 50
percent, Department of Energy researchers said in the new issue of Science magazine.
Most of the particles will retunVto
the Earth 's surface during the next 10
years, they said.
.Because the uranium is so dispersed, it is not a danger to humans or
environment, said meteorologist
Robert Leifer of the department's
Environmental Monitoring Laboratory in New York.
But radiochemist Edward Martell
of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.,
said that there might be a risk from
even thc small amounts. "I don 't
think you can ignore the carcinogenic
potential of uranium ," he said.
The report has raised new concerns
among some scientists that nuclear

A copy ofthe Gutenberg Bible sold
in rapid-fire, tense bidding at an auction Thursday night for $4.9 million,
the highest price ever paid for a book.
In total, the price was $5.39 million , counting the 10 percent

Maruzen Co. Ltd, one of Japan 's
biggest booksellers.
To enhance the value of lhe brown
calfskin-covered Bible, printed in ,
Christie's had displayed it last month
in Japan. The Bible was the centerpiece of the auction by the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which is raising funds for the
training of priests.
"I am pleased to offer Lot 1, the
Gutenberg Bible," announced Chris
Burge, president of Christie's, New
York, opening the bidding for the
night. A wave of anticipation swept
the room. Throughout the world, only
48 Gutenberg Bibles, the first books
printed by movable type, survive.

Burge started the bidding at
$700,000. Within seconds it had
climbed to Slmillion, then jumped to
$1.3 million with a bid phoned in to
the auction room .
As bids rose, a . duel develped
Maruzen and Thomas E. Schuster, an
antique book seller from London.
Maruzen officials called in their bids
on the phone while Schuster stood in
shirtsleeves near the podium of the
Park Avenue auction house.
The bids broke the $4 million barrier a half dozen bids later. At $4,
Schuster looked resigned and he
made his last bid at $4.8 million.
Burge then announced: "$4.9 million,
on the phone."
And when that bid could not be
topped, the Gutenberg Bible, displayed in a glass case in the room,
was sold.
"You don 't know if you will ever
find another one." Schuster said.
Asked if he were "terribly disappointed, " he replied, "Yes."
He said that he had entered bids in

U.S. officials said they expected

their talks.
Soviet officials said earlier that
Gorbachev hoped for movement in
the talks, which are aimed at reducing

strategic weapons with ranges of
more than 3,000 miles.
However, a senior U.S. official
said tlie Soviet side had not softened
insistence on linking a treaty to reduce strategic weapons with measures to curtail the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative, "Star Wars." Reagan
has said restrictions to the missile
defense system were unacceptable.

Arrests foil alleged attempt
to sell defense technology

by Dan Marian and Dana Nicholls
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Federal law enforcement authorities arrested three persons and seized
computer designs Thursday in what
allegedly was a plot to sell "Star
Wars" technology lo the Soviet Union
for $4 m illion.
The three are alleged to have conspired with Charles McVey, 57, who
was arrested in August after having
spending four years as a fugitive.
Authorities said that the mastermind of the plot was McVey, a former
Anaheim, Calif., aerospace entrepreneur who was indicted in 1983 on
separate charges of selling million of
dollars worth of sensitive satellite
technology and other equipment to
the Soviet Union.
McVey was being held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
In the latest case, the FBI, Customs
Service and other agencies said
McVey arranging with three Silicon
Valley men lo obtain designs for use
in a high-speed super-computer that
could have been the "brains" of a socalled Star Wars defense system.

that Moscow should be allowed to
retain 72 of its own missiles until the
West German missiles have been
eliminated . U.S. officials said that
demand was unacceptable.
But the senior official said that after
Thursday 's meeting, concern that the
Pershing 1-As "has gone away."
Nevertheless , there are some
prickly issues remaining.
For instance, one official said,
there was no agreement on the Soviet
demand for on-site inspections of the
bases in Britain , Italy, Belgium and
West Germany where U.S. intermediate-range missiles are deployed.
Moscow wants to verify the elimination of those missiles and to make sure
they are not relumed.

The design for the computer,
MATRIX 1, was stolen from ils
manufacturer , Saxpy Computer Corp.
of Sunnyvale , Calif., which helped in
the investigation.
Ivan Batinic, 29, a software engineer at the company, was arrested on
charges of stealing the machine's
design.
FBI officials here said that the
MATRIX 1 computer can receive and
send information faster than Cray
computers, the machines in use at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which is conducting the bulk
of the nation's Strategic Defense Ini-

Uative research program.
"He knew how it worked and all he
had to do was to take the stuff on
tapes. The tapes are the key. That was
the logic of the machine," Saxpy
spokesman Sandy Towle said.
Batinic 's brother, Stevan , also was
arrested, as was Kevin E. Anders, a
software designer also from Fremont,
Calif.
All three made brief appearances in
federal court in San Jose, Calif.,
Thursday.
An indictmen t was expected to be
returned by early next month .
Ivan Batinic also allegedly stole
tapes, floppy disks, and operating
manuals , which were seized in
Anderson 's storage locker in Fremont.
The computer technology is not
classified , and has non-military applications.
Towle said, however, that it could
be used to analyze data picked up by
sensitive underwater listening devices that track submarines.
The case began in August when
Anderson and Ivan Batinic were
caught at the U.S.-Canadian border,
carrying $10,000 in $100 bills that
were somehow traced to McVey,
who has used the alias Carlo Julian
Williams when he was arrested.

Campus lawyer gives students legal advic e

Staff Writer
Your landlord cheated you out of
your security deposit. Thc lock on
your apartment door still isn 't fixed.
You think thc new hazing regulations
violate your constitutional rights.
Bloomsburg University students
have a place to turn when such legal
questions arise.
Attorney John Flick , known as the
campus lawyer, provides free legal
advice lo students every Tuesda y
from 7 p.m . to 9 p.m. in Dr. Mulka 's
office on the top floor of Kehr Union.
Today 's students have die same
problems as Flick did when hc graduated from Bloomsburg State College
in 1975.
Most of the problems Flick deals
with involve landlord s, because lost

As thc plane rolled down thc runway like a streamlined white mosquito , it became clear that the passengers were not alone in their enthusiasm. On the surrounding roads, cars
stopped , and hundreds of people
stood in scrubby fields with cameras
and binoculars directed at the plane.
Critics, concerned about environmental problems such as the noise the
plane makes, shot down plan s for
commercial supersonic flights across
the United States. In 1977, however,

power by paying a semester al a time.
These are not problems for the
average renter."

Except for his years at Cleveland
Marshall School , Flick has lived in
Bloomsburg all his life. "When I interviewed (for the position), Uiey
liked the fact that I was a graduate ," hc
said.
Althoug h few campus lawyers
remain in office more than one year,
Flick has becn asked to return to his
position because of his good rapport
with students.

Lon pledges her trust to Karen, telling her that no matter what the problem is, Karen can confide in her. She
tells her that she will stick by her and
hel p her work any problem out. To all
Karen 's doubts she answers, "I'm
your best friend; you can tell mc anything."
In a scene which was probably the
most shocking for everyone watching, Karen admits to Lori that she is
gay, and has been for three months.
When Lori refuses to believe this,
Karen tries to convince her. She tells
her how hard it is to hide her true personality , and how she always wonders if someday, someone will walk
up to her and say, "I know what you
arc."
When Karen rushes up and kisses
Lori on the mouth , Lori is repulsed,
and screams that she hates Karen.
Karen yells back diat she loves Lori ,
but Lori tells her never lo look at her.
talk to her , or touch her again. Then
she calls Karen a faggot and stalks
out.
Playwri ght Holly Richart , BU
alumnist , gave this play insight to a
serious problem — how to handle a
gay friend. Many people claim to bc
open-minded and say they wouldn 't
mind if one of their friends were gay.
However, when thc problem becomes
real , Uiey arc unable lo handle thc
situation and consequentl y turn their
backs on their friends.

I think Richart was trying to break
the "that-onl y-happens-to-otherpeople" idea that often develops
when they are confronted with this
type of problem. Karen affected each
one of her friends, even though they
were very different types of people.
At the end, Karen commits suicide
out of fear that other people will find
out her secret, and because of her
frustrated relationship with Lori. Thc
audience watches each of the three
girls discover the body of their friend
on the bathroom floor, and then listens to Lori's apology to Karen — too
late for her to appreciate. It is on this
heavy note that the play ends.
That the play ends as a tragedy
shows Richart 's point — what wc arc
doing for this problem today is not
adequate. However, she docs not offer us any solutions cither. Personally, I was disturbed by thc death of
Karen , and I wondered if there could
have been some other way that her
problem could have been handled.
Director Edward Jameson wrote on
the program , "Thc subject matter of
this play is dial of today. Thc issues
raised are real , and may bc uncomfortable to comprehend at times , but
the purpose of theatre is to entertain
and to provoke thought. We hope you
will leave the performance wilh

ers and people. The damage was
much more serious, and its effects
were passed on to the following generations. Hundreds of muslims butchered in Meerut (a city on the outskirts
of Delhi) on the eve of the 40th Independence Day celebrations of India
are a living testimony to that fact.
And then came 1984, when thousands of Sikhs were mercilessly massacred in cold blood in riots engineered by the ruling party itself. The
police joined in as spectators while a
father was clubbed to death in front of
a wailing mother and horrified children.
To this day, not a single person has
becn tried for these horrifying crimes.
What did these victims do? Did this
happen just because two armed gunmen , who happened to be Sikhs, assasinatcd the prime-minister of the
country in retaliation for the blasting
of the holiest of the Sikh shrines in
June of 1984?
Then came thc era of the terrorists.
who again used the members of the
opposite community (Hindus) as their
target. Evidently the venom in the
people's hearts is still there.
The aftermath of 1947 and 1984
had one thing in common. Thc victim
was thc common man. And that common man was innocent. The problem
in 1947 was the issue of demarcating

the political boundaries of otherwise
culturally inseparable nations. But
the issue, regardless of the disagreements in political ideologies of the
two nations, cannot be weighed
against the millions of innocent lives
lost.
The situation in 1984 was not.very
different from the political dogma of
1947. A simple river water problem
was amplified and blown out of proportion. The Punjab River water
problem had been transformed from a
socio-economic issue into a Sikh
problem. The entire Sikh community
was painted as terrorist and a psychological barrier was created in the
minds of the teeming millions of India.
The nationalist and patriotic sentiment ofthe brain-washed millions of
India by the state-controlled media
was heavily exploited. It all exploded
like a volcano on the eve of lhe assasination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Thousands of Sikhs, who are easily singled
out because of their attire (turbans
and unshorn beards), were butchered
by frenzied crowds.
History repeats itself. And it happened not very far from my home in
the suburbs of New Delhi. A man was
ignited after being doused with kerosene 800 yards from my house; his
fellow Indians ecstatically watched it

as a circus show. As M J. Akbar describing the scene in his famous book ,
"India the struggle within," said, "the
lumpen proletariat had taken over."
According to the statistics supplied
by the first home minister of India,
"Vallabhai Patel," 75 percent of the
soldiers who have laid down their
lives for India in battlefields were
Sikhs, and so were nine out of ten
freedom fighters sent to gallows by
the British during the freedom
struggle. It is rather interesting to see
the same community being branded
as secessionists. In doing so, the nation will have alienated a vigorous
community and, above all, will havelost its meaning by a compromise of
its ethical values.
Every time I am, like thousands of
other Sikhs youths, harassed and
embarrassed at points like airport securi ty checks and customs in government offices under the pretext of anti
-terrorist operations , I wonder what
makes those people so discriminatory
and irrational.
But thc problem boils down to the
same argument — the fundamental
sign of a cultured society is respect
for human rights and respect for
another man 's religion, beliefs and
self-esteem ~ a trait which seems to
have been lost.

'Crash of 1929' effects revisited

by Bennett Lowenthal

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

As the canyons of Wall St echo
again with an avalanche of sliding
stocks a Ia 1929, can the thud of fallen
bodies be far behind?
Certainly one enduring jmage of
thc Crash , by now almost a part of the
national folklore, is that of ruined
financiers pitching themselves out
windows and off buildings and
bridges.
Will Rogers happened to be in New
York on "Black Thursday," Oct. 24,
1929. In his nationally syndicated
newspaper column for that day, he
wrote: "When Wall Sl. took that tail
spin , you hagl to stand in line to get a
window to jump out of , and speculators were selling space for bodies in
the East River."
The New York correspondent for
one of London s sensationalist tabloids wired home that lower Broadway was clogged with corpses.
So goes the legend. What are the
facts? How many people jumped in
1929? From "Black Thursday," Oct.
24, until the end of the year, 100
suicides and attempted suicides were
reported in The New York Times, including cases around the country and
overseas.
Of course, "Black Thursday" and
"Black Tuesday" of Oct. 1929 were
but the beginning of a series of stockmarket dislocations that lasted into
the 1930s, ushering in the Great Depression. It seems likely that collective mcmoryshified later finance-related suicides back in time to the
remembered hysteria of the Crash.
The suicide rale, which , surprisingly, had been rising steadily over

thc prosperous 1920s, actually
peaked in 1932, when 17.4 of every
100,000 Americans took their own
lives — an all-time high.
The suicide rate in New York City
for the first several weeks after the
Crash was in fac t lower than it had
been during the summer of 1929,
when thc bull market was still raging.
This is not to down-play thc toll of
misery that the Crash exacted.
Morgues werij not the only places
registering victims. Physicians
treated a rash of nervous breakdowns.
The apple-sellers, the breadlines and
the "Hoovervilles," too, soon bore
witness to the consequences of the
Crash.
In five-hours' time on Oct. 29,
"Black Thursday," an invisible, odorless, weightless phenomenon —
numbers changing on a ticker tape —
cost the American people as much
money, by one estimate, as the United
States had spent on the World War I.
Ignatz Engel was a retired cigar
maker in die Bronx who invested in
the market in time to be wiped out by
the Crash. On Nov. 13, depressed
over his losses, he lay down on' a
blanket in his kitchen and opened all
the jets of the gas range.
Thc next day the president of the
Rochester Gas and Electric Corp., no
longer able to endure his loss of more
than S1.2 million , ended his own life
using •— what else? — gas.
A Chicago dentist snuffed himself
with gas on Dec. 12; police said that
he had succumbed to remorse for
having persuaded his young woman
assistant and laboratory aide to put all
of their savings into the market in the
euphoria before the Crash.

Guns were another popular way
out. A bullet was the choice of thc
New York banker J.J. Riordan , lhe
most prominent financier lo commit
suicide in the last months of 1929.
Announcement of his death was postponed — with the approval of New
York' s Gov. Al Smith — until
Riordan 's bank closed for the weekend. A hurried audit revealed that
only his personal holdings, not thc
bank's, had been caught up in thc
Crash.
A young man named Ly tie shot and
killed himself in a hotel in Milwaukee, leaving behind four cents and a
suicide note directing that "my body
should go to science, my soul to
Andrew W. Mellon and sympathy to
my creditors." The note also asked
lhat his body nol be removed from the
room until the rent was up.
These Crash-related suicides from
October through December 1929 representonly about one percent of all tlie
Americans who took their own lives
during that same period , driven by
some different , particular desperation
Perhaps a few lives were saved, because the Crash of 1929 was followed
so closely by the holiday season.
Thanksgiving may have restored
the will to go on for many, but not for
Margaret Mason. The 58-year-old
woman raised turkeys in a town in upstate New York .
The day that the turkeys were to be
taken to market for Thanksgiving
dinners, she set fire to the small bam
containing thc birds.
She died in the flames with her
turkeys, declared the coroner, handing down a verdict of suicide.

for The Voice
The product of a family tradition
exists at Bloomsburg University that
has found its way to the highest
elected office on campus. Ed Gobora,
the current Community Government
Association president , is a member of
a long family line of involved BU
students.
Harry Gobora Sr., Ed's father (BSC
graduate, 1950), is the presiden t of the
Philadelphia Alumni Chapters and
was once a CGA senator. Connie
(BSC graduate, 1952), his mother,

tan, which was also scored to
George Gershwin, "Someone" is a
love poem to New York. But , where
Allen fixed on intellectual ambiance,
Scott - a Britisher who treats the
boroughs almost as if they were alien
planets - lingers over ' surfaces:
Queens homes with packed backyards, the leafy sweep of Central
Park, Manhattan 's teeming heart and
the dark glow of the streets after
nightfall. The sound track keeps
repeating the lush , plaintive tide
song — in versions by Sting, Gene
Ammons and Roberta Flack -- and
the first time we hear it, it is over a
spectacular night-time helicopter
shot, high above the city, soaring
through the glass canyons and skyscrapers, crossing the 59th Street
Bridge and then zeroing m on
Queens.
After this brilliant opening, Scott
draws the opposing worlds with
great economy and vi gor: a beerand-dance party in a Spartan, workaday Queens living room where one
bosomy blonde in scarlet glows like
a plastic rose, and a super-rich spree
of Manhattan jet-setters carousing at
a dreamily lavish disco. Scott's
camera glides through these plush
Art Deco rooms ~ in chilly, seemingly subaqueous light - until we
watch, with Claire, a brutal argument
and slaying: one in which the victim
is as hateful as his killer, Joey Venza
(Andreas Katsulas).
Murder and fear then trigger love.
Berenger's Keegan becomes a Ro-

meo despite himself. Brought into
Claire's Upper East Side apartment,
where every surface gleams and the
ligh t seems filtered through silk, he
and her other police bodyguards are
treated like delivery boys: forced to
cool their heels in the lobby and
kitchen by Claire's frizzy-haired
snot of a boyfriend (John Rubinstein). Gradually — with the inevitability common to discos and movie
romances — Keegan and Claire come
together, creating the kind of scandal
common to soap operas.
Yet, irony aside, the love story
works. In the central three roles,
Berenger, Rogers and Lorraine
Bracco have a sheer photogenic
force that makes them fine romantic
principals. It is the thriller elements
that seem dubious. Scott 's gossamer
ribbons seem often snagged on the
jagged edge of prototyp ical plotting.
The suspense mechanism is far too
visible, too obviously a mechanism.
The set pieces - the chase through
the Guggenheim , one attempted
murder and a Mexican standoff ~

actually begin to seem intrusive.
And , at the end, when the two
strands are intertwined, the plot has
become almost tyrannical: Poor Joey
Venza is asked to abandon all sanity,
every scrap of even reasonably psychotic self-preservation , simply to
trigger off a properly neat wrap-up
and double climax.
Howard Franklin 's screenplay has
an ingenious set-up and smooth
flow , but it lacks edge and depth.
Perhaps unintentionally, it degenerates into a contest with too many
moral issues solved in advance.
Yet, when the camera simply follows the reckless couple through their
dangerous night, the glamour surges
back up. Even if "Someone to Watch
Over Me" is flawed, it is the kind of
film that offers you so many subsidiary pleasures; Berenger's watchful
blue stare, Bracco's tough accent,
Rogers' swanky self-assurance, and,
most of all, Scott's rapturous views of
the city. Illogical, flawed or forced
thrillers are all too common .Ones that
knock your eyes out are rare.

The float 'Jaws,' sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon from Saturday 's homecoming parade did not take a prize, but did turn a few
heads.

Movie is erotic culture-clash thriller
by Michael Wilmington

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Ridley Scott 's "Someone to
Watch Over Me"is an erotic cultureclash thriller that is almost swoony
with glamour and romance. The
movie is exciting, and richly textured. But, despite its high quality,
there is something unformed about
it, like a poem that does not quite
sing, a painting wilh a color missing.
Scott is an ex-painter, and , as a
film maker, he specializes in visual
tours de force: shimmering recreations of the past ("The Duellists"),
nightmarishly vivid evocations of
the future ("Blade Runner" and
"Alien"). Here, he steeps the sights
and sounds of New York in the same
dense photographic splendor.
The faces are splendid, too. The
movie is about a statuesque New
York cop caught in a triangle along
with his sexy wife and a stunning
murder witness that he has been assigned lo guard. The adulterous lovers come from different classes: the
cop, Mike Keegan (Tom Berenger)
from a middle-range Queens neighborhood; the witness, Claire Gregory
(Mimi Rogers) from the posh heights
of Manhattan's Upper East Side.
It is a simple, schematic story,
pivoting around two crises:
Keegan's failing marriage and the
mounting threats to Claire's life.
And, at times, all this seems simply a
hook on which Scott can hang his
dazzling nocturnal urban visions.
Like Woody Allen's "Manhat-

serves on the Alumni Board of Directors. Kim Gobora, Ed's sister (BU
graduate, 1983), was the corresponding secretary of CGA and president of
the senior class. Her husband , Bill
Bent (BU graduate, 1983), was president of Tau Kappa Epsilon and a CGA
senator. Harry Jr. (BU graduate,
1983), was vice president of the same
fraternity and was also a CGA senator.
Ed Gobora brings this unique background and family heritage of pride in
Bloomsburg University to his office.
Accordingly, his short and long term
goals are to enhance the image of
Bloomsburg University, specifically
CGA, and to increase student involvement.
To accomplish these goals, Gobora
chose a group of diverse and involved
students to comprise the current CGA
executive board , and uses advice from
faculty and senators. "Students who
are involved in other organizations on
campus can help bring (these groups)
together and get students involved
campus-wide," he said.

Gobora has been involved in a
number of organizations, and has held
leadership positions in several.
Among these activities are varsity
track, CGA vice-president, former
secretary and current president of Tau
Kappa Epsilon , Black Cultural Society member, Kehr Union Governing
Board member, and parking committee member to name just a few .
As for juggling all of these activities, keeping his GPA above a 3.0,
Gobora admits it isn't easy. "It's a lot
tougher than I imagined , and much
more time consuming," he said.
Exactly what does he hope to get
out of all this? "The experiences I've
gained, and will go through this year,
will help me out in the real world,"
said Gobora. "I think the things that
go on outside the classroom can be
just as educational — you have to
learn to work with people."
This line of thinking seems to be a
trait that the Gobora family would be
proud of , and Ed's answers might
very well be the reasons behind the
Gobora tradition he carries on today .

When he walked into Tan Son Nhut
Airport in Ho Chi Minh City and saw
her for the first time, the Vietnam War
veteran thought his heart would burst.
He had waited 15 years for this
moment. It had haunted him , consumed him and anguished him almost
every waking hour and resUess night.
It had exhausted his savings , sent him
into psychiatric counseling, crippled
his career and sabotaged his romances.
But none of that mattered anymore,
because standing in front of him in the
airport hallway on Oct. 12 was the
Amerasian daughter hc had almost
given up hope.of ever finding — the
girl he had traced to a beach in Vietnam after seeing her photograph in
Life magazine.
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
She looked into his eyes and.
through ;*n interpreter , asked him a
question:
"Do vou love me?"

Childre n teach themselves

by Lisa Cellini
Features Editor
Editor 's Note: This story is the first
o f a two part series .
As a teacher looks over a Hide girl' s
shoulder io see what she is writing,
she reads the following: "I mayd A
snow Baybe. ai is 10 Fet tai . I mad it
at My hws. My snw Baby MLdad. I
was sal. St. CLS Picures is on the
wol. " Is the pupil illiterate? This student isn 't learning obviously.
Yes , that ' s right. The student isn 't
learning obviousl y. Her grammatical
skills are sneaking up on her. New
w ords creep into her vocabulary every lime she reads a book. She sounds
out words before writing them on
paper , because her teachers don ' t
spell them out for her. In effect , this
little girl is teaching herself how to
read and write.
Should the teachers at Greenwood

Friend' s School be ashamed? On the
contrary. They should be thrilled.
Their students are learning, and loving every minute of it.
Two years ago, the dny Millville
school implemented a new teaching
technique known as the "Process
Approach to Writing." Developed by
educator Donald Graves, author of
"Breaking Ground: Teachers Relate
Reading and Writing in the Elementary School" and "Write From the
Start: Tapp ing Your Child' s Natural
Writing Ability, " this innovative program allows a child' s natural curiosity and learning abilities to combine
and create a love for learning.
A typical school day involves a
"read aloud ," where the teacher reads
to students , thereby instilling a natural interest in books and authors , and
reinforcing skills they already have.
When a common , grammatical dif-

ficulty plagues die young writers , a
"mini lesson" quickl y teaches the
class the specific skill they need to
know at that time. Topics for such lessons include quotation marks , capital
letters , and commas.
Perhaps the most valuable tools
these childre n use are their minds and
imaginations. During a "writing
time," students pull out folders containing original , individual stories.
"Every child is an author, and has a
story to tell ," said one teacher. "In a
classroom with 16 children , no two
stories are ever the same."
In part , this creativity can be attributed to the progra m which advocates
a "sharing time. " As a constructive
implement of the learning environment , sharing time allows childre n to
share their work with the class.
Teachers claim this builds self-esteem and individualit y *.

The Canadian Brass will perform at
Bloomsburg University on Octobe r
2S at S p.m. in Mitrani Hall.
Throughout the musical world , the
Canadian Brass have stead ; ' .' gained
a reputation for forging new paths
into the unchartered areai of music
for brass. Faced with a literature that
included onl y a handful of great
works for brass when they came together , the Canadian Brass have become transcribers of music from all
eras.
Internationall y renowned for their
"brillian t virtuosity and ensemble
play ing of remarkable unanimity. "
the Brass , formed in 1970, has been
heard in concerts across Canada and
the U.S. as well as Europe , China ,

Japan , Saudi Arabia , and the Soviet
Union. Indeed , they were chosen to
tour the People 's Republic of China in
a cultural exchange program arranged
by Prime Minister of Canada Pierre
Trudeau.
The Brass have recorded several
albums for their current label CBS
Records , and one is titled "Brass in
Berlin ", which they recorded with the
Berlin Philharmonic Brass last fall.
Their latest CBS album "Canadian
Brass Live " has just been released.
They have been featured with most
of the major orchestras including the
Detroit. Indianapolis , Milwaukee ,
Denver , Baltimore , Pittsburgh and
National Symp honies , the Minnesota
Orchestra , the New York Pops with

Skitch Henderson , and the Philadelphia Pops with John Williams.
Their repertoire ranges from classical works of Bach , Handel , Purcell .
Vivaldi , and Debussy to ragtime
works by Jelly Roll Morton and Scott
Joplin to Fats Waller hits to avantgarde works by Lukas Foss, John
Beckwith , Michael Colgrass, and
Peter Schickele.
The Brass ' attitude toward their
music and their unique performance
style is perhaps best summed up by
Charles Daellenbach: "It 's important
to us that people get involved in the
music. We feci a responsibility to see
to it that the audience has fun. A good
performance isn 't enough — people
have to so out feeling happy."

But already Barry Huntoon and
Tran Thi Tuyet Mai act like they have
known each other for a lifetime.
At age 20 and an Army medic,
Huntoon found himself stationed in
Vietnam's central high lands with the
173rd Airborne Brigade. Nothing
was as he had expected: The fighting
was too bloody, the war too corrupt
and the U.S. commitment too immoral , he decided .
Looking back on it now , Huntoon
cannot say exactly what first attracted
him to the young Vietnamese woman
who sold produce in one of the markets. Maybe it was her innocence. Or
perhaps it was her pathetic situation.
But a romance blossomed between
them , and "I really fell in love with
her ."
When he was transferred to the
seaside town of Vung Tau , safel y
away from the heavy fighting, she
came along. Though due to bc rotated
home, he extended his tour another
year while hc desperately tried to
fi gure oul some way Nhung and he
could be married — especially now
that she was pregnant with his child.
But by 1972 , unable to get die paper
work for their marriage, and about tc
be returned to the United States, he
reali?.cd he had done everything hc

could from Vietnam and thought he
would have better luck pursuing the
case from home. When he shipped out
without Nhung, she was one week
awi.y from delivering their baby. Hc
was unable to contact her.
He asked for help from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who
represented his hometown of Norwood, Mass., and whose office enlisted a private international social
services agency to locate the mother
and child. After investigating, thc
group told Huntoon it had received
definite word that Nhung had died
and that their child may have perished
as well. Huntoon was not satisfied.

...

said, "That's my daughter.
The girl 's picture had becn taken in
Vung Tau, where Huntoon had last
lived with his girlfriend. And her
name was too close to Nhung 's to be
a coincidence. But they also saw that
thc article had been researched the
previous spring; where and how
could they get in touch with the girl
now?
Huntoon 's first break came when
Barker got the opportunity to go to the
Philippines to'scrve for a year in the
refugee processing center at Bhutan
helping Amerasian children with
emotional problems. Barker was able
to use camp contacts to get a photograp h of Mai back to Vietnam so that
a relative ofa refugee could search the
beaches unti l hc found her — still
peddling peanuts in Vung Tau.
But two years would pass before
father and daughter would meet —
years filled with bureaucratic haggling, diplomatic squabbling and
endless paper work between die U.S.
and Vietnamese governments, made
all the more complicated by the two
nations' lack of diplomatic relations.

Over die next years, the search
became an obsession that nearly ruined his life.
Then , one night in August 1985,
reading in bed , Huntoon leafed
through the new issue of Life magazine. Hc had bought it because of an
article on Amerasian children by
photographer Philip Jones Griffiths.
Hunioon turned a page and came
upon a picture of a girl selling peanuts
on a beach in Vietn am . Something
Through an interpreter, Mai said
about her face drew him. It bore an
uncanny resemblance to his own. Tuesday lhat "of course, I' m happy to

essarily through its big shock scenes,
but through the atmosphere it creates: the sense of dread, no exit, lives
plunging out of control, the secret
mad pull of murder and ouUawry.
There are still disgusting elements
here; shock tactics inserted for the
gullible, the vampire family's barroom holocaust. And there are lapses
of logic: including one scene that
depends on the fastest sunrise in
recorded history. The sadistic humor, which will offend many, wars
with an intense romanticism.
But Bigelow packs the film with
intense imagery, haunting shots: a
nigh t world of chaotic emptiness.
There is a ghasdy humor in all this,
and Bigelow brings it out without
overindulging it. Faced with a nearly
repulsive subject , she makes the
blood flow inside it. stream out over
the cuts.
"Near Dark" is too violent for any
but hard-core horror audiences.
Bigelow's visual style — rudimentary
in her earlier film , "The Loveless" -is often sensational here. She has
made a film whose pop nihilism can
raise a few honest shivers.

at the center of this carnage is an
obsessive romance.
Basicall y, writer-director Kathryn
Bigelow and co-writer Eric Red are
telling a love-on-the-ru n story about
a good boy who falls in love with a
girl vampire and is pulled into her
nightmare world. Bigelow and Red
set the story in a landscape that we
recognize — mostly from highway
jaunts or '70s road movies: a lunarlooking desert filled with truck stops,
bus stations, motels and flat roads,
dry empty-looking towns, cities that
seem to have been swallowed up by
the night.
In the film , an Oklahoma kid ,
Caleb (Jason Gedrick) becomes entranced with a thin , mysterious
blonde with half-dead eyes named
Mae (Jenny Wright) . He picks her up
on the street after nightfall , and when
he tries to seduce her, she drinks his
blood , pulls him into her maniacal
family, and plunges him into a landscape of endless night. After that
vampire 's kiss , he shares her fate: if
sunlig ht touches them , their skin will
burn.
It works on your nerves --not nec-

greatest mathematicians , philosphers, preachers of non-violence
and one of the richest cultures in the
world lost its meaning? Has the violence and the strain of a human tragedy diluted its vigor? Has the Indian
forgotten himself and lost the very
trait that makes him (or her) Indian?
Or is the theory of Dr. DeVries, a
socio-biologist at Harvard also applicable to India. The brutal lesson of
biology is that individuals in all animal species and human beings on an
average do not work for the good and
well being of their species. They work
out of more selfish and short term
goals. That is why more than 99 percent of thc species known in the fossil
record have become extinct.
The very trait that got us into this
mess can get us out of it. The unity of
India lies in its inherent diversity. Tlie
cultural diversity of the country therefore must be realized through regional promotion of all the ethnic
groups within the country, lest Winston Churchill' s famous prediction
that the Indian nation will be a matter
of historical literature in a matter of a
few decades is completely realized.

Morris puts strike behind him
by George Willis

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

It's not an easy thing lo do, but Joe
Morris is trying to put aside his bitterness over thc recent players' strike
and concentrate on matters at hand.
Needing to go 9-1 or 10-0 to have a
chance of making thc playoffs has a
way of getting your attention.
"I thought the strike was ri ght on
our part ," Morris said Thursday after
thc New York Giants' afternoon practice. "But I' m not going to hurt my
chances of going to thc playoffs by
worry ing about something that 's
over."When I first came back, I was still
caught up in thc strike. But I' ve tried
to put myself in thc silualion where
I' m a professional and I have to play
football ."
Morris , a two-time all-pro running
back , was one of lhc Giants ' mosl
vocal supporters of tlie strike during
its final weeks. Instead of returning to
work without a new collective-bargaining agreement as the union did ,
Morris would have preferred lo remain on strike and forfeit $31,250 a
week in salarv .

Joe wasn t the only one in the
Morris family affected by thc strike.
One of his younger brothers, Larry,
played on the Green Bay Packers'
replacement team before being released. "I understand why he did it.
But I don 't have to like it ," Morris
said. "I just wish hc would not have
played. But it was an opportunity for
him to getashot. I justhoped hedidn 'l
get hurt.
"A scab is a scab. Even though he 's
your brother, he's still a scab. But I'll
never not love him. I'm going to forgive him for what hc does."

Asked if hc still was bitter about thc
results of the 24-day strike that cost
him $125,000 of his $500,000 salary ,
Morris replied , "Sure! But that 's
taken a back burner. I' m focusing my
energy toward lhe St. Louis game
(Sunday at Giants Stadium)."
Thc Giants (0-5) have been focusing much of their energy this week on
a running game that was ineffective in
two prc-slrikc games. Morris , who
rushed for 3,338 yards in thc past two
seasons, gained onl y 54 against the
Chicago Bears and 26 against thc
Dallas Cowbovs.

Much of his usefulness was limited
against the Bears because the Giants
fell behind and had to pass. Against
Dallas he suffered a concussion in the
first half and was not a factor the rest
of the game. The right side of thc
Giants' offensive line is suspect.
William Roberts is still learning the
tackle spot after replacing Karl Nelson , out for thS season with
Hodgkin 's disease. Damian Johnson
will start at guard for Chris Godfrey
(sprained knee). "I don 't care who's
blocking, we've got to run the ball,"
Morris said. "They 've got to get mc to
the line of scrimmage and I've got to
make whatever happens, happen."
Thc only Australian ever to be
drafted by thc NFL, Cardinals defensive tackle Colin Scotts, doesn 't
know much about the league's policy-making proced ures. But to his
way of thinking, the rules prohibiting
sack dances and such arc a bit hypocritical.
"I'd really want to talk to thc head
of thc rules (committee)," said lhc
rookie, who has received a lot of attention for his "Kangaroo Hop" after
a sack. "I understand about guys
dancing and carrying on and being a

showoff , but Americans seem to enjoy it. A little hop after (a sack)
doesn't seem to hurt anybody."
Scotts did a mini-version of the hop
in the Cardinals' season-opening win
over the Cowboys, in which he had
two sacks. "You put your arms together like little kangaroo paws and
your legs together and hop around just
a little bit like an idiot ," Scotts told
reporters Thursday by telephone from
St. Louis.
A third-round draft choice, Scotts
has been a 6-5, 263-pound Crocodile
Dundee in shoulder pads. A coach at
tb-5 University of Hawaii offered
Scotts a football scholarship after
watching him play rugby against
UCLA in Los Angeles. At first , the
native of Sydney had trouble learning
which pads went where. For two
monlhs he wore a butt pad around his
groin.
The Cardinals have been pleased
with Scotts' work ethic, and he has
charmed thc media with his friendly
manner. He also has become a
national hero back home. "When I
walk down the street, everybody
says they're really proud of mc,"
Scotts said. "It's really neat."

Rep lacements get no resp ect
by Greg Loga n

bers -have been written at regular
intervals to designate where each
player should hang his hat.
"I try not to think about it ," said
running back Dennis Bligen , who
dressed across the hall for three seasons before hc was cut in training
camp and called back when the Jets
needed strike reinforcements. "You
do what you have to do. I consider
myself a professional athlete, and I'm
trying to conduct myself in that manner."
Thc spare Jets are making the best
of their situation , but that doesn 't
mean they 're making light of it. "I
don 't joke about it," said Bligen , who
shares an apartment with regular
backup tight end Billy Griggs. sv It's a
very touchy situation . I try not to even
talk about it."
Condition s in their dressing room
may be too close for comfort, but the
replacement players, for the most
part, have remained close out of necessity in a hostile environment. "I
feel a little alienated; everybody in
here does," rookie nose tackle Scott
Mcrsereau said. "That's the way I
expected it to be."
When the veterans returned Monday, Bligen , Mersercau and a few
other strikebreakers still were
wedged into the main locker room.
That changed Wednesday when the
two groups were segregated. Yet at
least two of the strikebreakers, Mersercau and tackle Ken Jones, are expected to play for the Jets Sunday in
Washington.
"If I had been the only guy in there

(with the veterans), I wouldn 't have
felt right ," Mersercau said of the
move across the hall. "I would've
moved myself out. I' m thc same as
every one of these guys in here. That's
the way I want to be treated, and that's
what the coaches are doing. That 's thc
way it should be until the roster is set."
Now the only strikebreakers in the
main locker room are ones who were
part of the regular Jets when the strike
began. That includes the entire defensive line, some of whom have introduced themselves to Mcrsereau and
worked with him on the field. None of
the other veteran strikers has spoken
to Mcrsereau , who is listed as second
string but is expected to rotate with
starter Gerald Nichols.
Not surprisingly, the friendliest
veteran has been Mark Gastineau, the
only regular Jet who defied the strike
from the start. Gastineau invited
Mcrsereau to move in wilh him.
Something about misery loving company.
We got a tape of the Redskins
playing the Eagles and went over it
(Wednesday) night," Mcrsereau said.
"Mark's got a VCR. He can afford
such luxuries."
Gastineau may be the best-qualified
Jet to help Mcrsereau deal with the
mental strain of being ostracized by
his teammates, but the rookie seems
to be handling it as well as possible.
"The majority of these guys haven 't
talked to me, but I expected that,"
Mcrsereau said. "It's not a shock. I
have to earn their respect with my
play, and that's the way it should be."

Bill y back m New York

by Steve Jacobs on

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Billy Part V at Yankee Stadium
began over luncheon of steamer roast,
seafood creole and some platitudes,
maybe some of them sincere. Where
and when the real dessert is served is
one more fascination.
It was the formal introduction of
Lou Piniclla as Yankee general manager for the first time and Billy Martin
as manager for the fifth time. It was
Lou who held the Yankee shirt with
the already retired No. 1 against
Billy 's chest.
But Lou is such a nice guy, and the
sparks that just naturall y come from
Billy always catch the eye and the ear.
Billy said that he and George undoubtedly would disagree again , as in
any marriage.
"Sometimes you get divorced ," he
said. "In my field they call it getting
fired."
And , wouldn 't you know it , Billy
plans to bc married again in January .
The wonder of the George-andBilly merry-go-round is that it 's fun
when you get on and fun when you get
off.
Everything is inevitability and
omens, like something out of Greek
drama. Bill y gives his own omens and
provides his own inevitability .
"There's a beautiful saying that
goes around that I 'self-destruct,' "
Billy said Thursday. "Everybody gets
fired. I know something. Every time I
get fired my salary keeps going up."
Billy was being about as charming
as he can be , which can be considerable when there is no pressure and
when there's little challenge to what
he says. But after all these hirings and
firings, when he's nearing 60, you
might think he'd have learned something about what was causing them.
Think again.
"I accepted it and never coms
p lained when I was fired ,'' he said. * 1
took it like a man. It's a hard pill to
swallow. I don't think I ever got over
\

that. But I don t know if I learned
anything from it, to be honest wilh
you."
That was about as honest as the man
gels. Hc didn 't learn anything from it.
And it wasn 'tjust the four firings by
Stcinbrenncr , it was the firings at
Minnesota , Detroit , Texas and
"Hashing it up,"
Oakland, too.
hc called that. "Every time I say that
was five or 10 years ago. I know Bill y
Martin. Wherever I've been we've
won. The last laugh is going to be
mine."
Actual ly George had the whole
thing timed so Billy and Lou would be
presented to reporters left behind in
New York while regulars were away
at the World Scries. That way thc
television cameras would have their
three minutes of talent on camera , and
George wouldn 't be challenged . He
wanted attention but not critical attention. But he could not pull that off.
So George stayed in his office and
left the lunch to Lou and Billy and 15
television cameras. They said that it
would be less stormy than Billy 's last
four times around. But how could that
Lou kept saying that he was
be?
pleased to try a job he's never had
befor e, and by then he did appear to
be pleased. He had said that he didn 't
want to manage forever, and that this
time the choice was to take the frontoffice appointment or get out of town.
"My family is in New Jersey, I have
a home here, I advised my son to go
to school at Villanova," he explained.

So he telephoned his wife and he
telephoned his mother at home in
Tampa, Fla., and he told them what he
was thinking.
"I don't call home and tell my mom
often ," he said. He said that he expected to be in the job a long time.
Nobody else has.
He was laughing heartily then. For
two years as George 's manager, Lou
's sense of humor moved in a direction opposite of his waistline. Manag-

ing for George is not an easy job.
"It 's like a 500-pound weight on
your neck," Billy said.
It 's that weight that has always
dragged him to drink and to violence.
Count his fights: Jim Brewer, pitcher;
Dave Boswell and Ed Whitson , his
own pitchers; George Brophy and
Howard Fox, members of the Minnesota front office; Ray Hagar, the
Reno, Nev., reporter; Joseph Cooper,
the marshmallow salesman.
When Bill y was fired in 1978 for
the first time, George made Billy 's
drinking problem public. He had what
amounted to a lifetime job with
Oakland and lost it in 1982. As
Oakland manager, he abandoned a
game for his office and was discovered afterward with vodka on his
desk, blood on his hands and blood on
thc wall where he'd smashed the pictures, including the treasured ones of
Casey Stengel.
That's self-destructing. That's not
hashing up history. That's a record as
long as his arm and as recent as 1985.
If only the media didn 't keep reporting what he did.
"The press keeps saying things
in the papers, and people believe
them ," Billy explained. "I go to
Mass on Sundays. The guy upstairs
listens to me. I'm sure he doesn 't read
them."
George is still the real general
manager. Billy has complained about
messages getting garbled when they
had to go through an intermediary to
George. He's also complained that he
needed a buffer.
Now , Billy said,
the situation is ideal."He has a general
manager who knows how hard it is to
manage. It will be different.
How can it be different?
"I'm getting married in January.
That's different," Billy said. "I' m
healthy again. That's important. "
Who is this woman who would be part
of this situation? "Jill Guiver , " he
said. "She used to be in the media."

Huskies fall to Kings College

The BU Soccer Team lost to King 's College last week with a final score of 3-1. Here a Bloomsburg Un iversity soccer player
'
maneuvers around two Lycoming players.
pbaoby Bm Omm

by Ruskin Mark
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University Soccer team suffered an embarrassing 21 loss to Kings College last Tuesday.
Fora team that extended opponents of
the caliber of Lafayette, Bucknell and
West Virginia Wesleyan, the Huskies
must feel the loss to Kings is a major
let down. No one associated with the
Huskies envisioned this loss, which
makes it a bitter pill to swallow.
The Huskies outplayed tlieir opponents in almost every area except in
aggression and scoring. Bloomsburg
registered 14 shots to Kings ' 11, but
Kings recorded two goals to thc Huskies ' one.
Goalkeeper Keith Cincotta must
have been disappointed in his defenders for allowing the opposing strikers
so much time and space with which to
score twice in the first 25 minutes.
On both occasions, the defense had
ample time and opportunities to clear
tlie bal l, but they failed to do so and
conceded two goals.

At the half , the score remained the
same, and BU 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 the weakened team.
Lacking from the Huskies' play
was committment and pride, ingredients which allowed them to compete
so effectively against much stiffer
opponents.
The second half saw some more
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 the
Huskies went more and more on the
offensive, to try and get back in the
game.
Finally, a goal came but , with only
seconds remaining, there was not

kicks of pitchers Mathews and Frank
Viola , analyzing them to a fare-theewell. Palmer talked about the "bat
wrap," whatever that meant, of the
Twins' Greg Gagne during a replay of
his home run. They drummed out a
rat-a-tat-tat of facts as if they were
talking to a baseball clinic rather than
to a general national audience that
probably is not all lhat fascinated with
every nuance of this tournament.
Here's one example of the extremes of statistical thinking that has
taken over. When the Twins' center
fielder, Kirby Puckett , made a good
play to cut off a hit by Willie McGee,
holding him to a double, Michaels
said, It kept McGee from getting his
12th triple of the year." That 's irrelevant and wrong because Series hits
are not added to season totals.
The telecast of the fourth game was
saved by the surprise home run and
comic home-run trot of the light-hitting Tom Lawless. It was such a surprising developmen t, and Lawless
was so funny pausing like Reggie
Jackson to watch the fli ght ofthe ball ,
that the instinct for humor in the trio
took hold. After reciting a laundry list
of figures to illustrate what a weak
hitter , a non-slugger, Lawless is, they
loosened up and seemed to get into
more of a welcome conversational
mode for most of thc remainder of the
game. There have becn light , breezy
moments and perceptive observations , th ough not enough. And the
production has had wonderful camera
angles and replays. But , oh , those
fi gures! They should start the next
telecast with basic baseball sports
reporting _ with analysis, humor and
no great onslaught of facts. It is after
all , guys, only a game.

Racing tragedy : Heart attack kills Bedside Promise

by Bill Christine

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

The four Jawl brothers, who owned
Bedside Promise, had agreed to a S3
million deal for the horse.
The contract had been drawn up
and the money was in escrow. It was
going to be si gned after Bedside
Promise ran in lhe Breeders' Cup
Sprint at Hollywood Park in Inglewood , Calif., Nov . 21. The 5-year-old
son of Honest Pleasure would then go
with his new owners to Texas, where
he would be bred to both thoroughbred and quarter horse mares.
"You wait for a horse like this all
your life," said Sony Jawl, one of the
four British Columbia lumbermen ,
while waiting for Bedside Promise to
run in a race at Hollywood Park earlier this year.
Last Saturday
afternoon , Jawl was on his way back
to the barn at Bay Meadows in San
Mateo, Calif., hoping there would be
explanations for Bedside Promise's
last-place finish in the Fall Sprint
Championship. He had expected lhat
race to prepare the horse for his challenge of favored Groovy in the Breeders'Cup.
Jawl eventually reached
the barn. Bedside Promise didn 't.
Being led off the track to the stable
area only minutes after the race,
Bedside Promise collapsed and died
near the eighth pole. An autopsy this
week showed that he had suffered a
massive heart attack. He reportedly
was insured for about $1 million.
Gary Stevens was aboard Bedside
Promise Saturday, after riding the

$50,000 yearling to wins at Santa
Anita , Bay Meadows and Hollywood
Park this year, which had swelled the
horse's earnings to almost Sl million.
Stevens told Bobby Martin , Bedside
Promise's trainer, that the horse
"went limp" with three-eighths of a
mile to run.
"I've been quoted that the horse
made gurgling sounds when I pulled
him up, but that's not true," Stevens
said. "He didn 't act like there was
anything wrong with him until we got
back to the unsaddling area.
"I've been on several horses that
broke down and died on the track, but
this one was something different.
This was like someone in your own
family dying. He was the bravest
horse I ever rode, as far as heart (is
concerned).
Because of a little-known policy
among California state veterinarians,
Alysheba has been reclassified as a
non-bleeder as he prepares to run in
the $3 million Breeders' Cup Classic.
To get back on the bleeders' list in
California and qualify to run on Lasix,
a medication that curbs hemorrhaging
in the lungs Alysheba would have to
bleed in a workout or a race here and
be certified by two veterinarians.
Alysheba lost his California Lasix
privileges because he ran elsewhere
in at least two races without the medication and didn 't bleed.
Actually, Alysheba had three Lasix-free races: the Belmont and the
Travers in New York and the Haskell
Handicap in New Jersey.

Jack Van Berg, who trains
Alysheba, would be better off if hc ran
Alysheba in the Breeders' Cup without Lasix , because it appears that the
Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Super Derby winner doesn 't need the
medication. There are skeptics in the
East who may not vote for Alysheba
for horse of the year even if he wins
the Classic, because they figure that
he needs Lasix to win.
On the surface , that does appear to
be the case. S ince he first bled in a race
at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., in
early March, Alysheba is winless in
three starts without Lasix but has finished first four out of five times with
the medication.
But when Van
Berg, apparently because he didn 't
want to subject the colt to five hours in
a pre-race detenUon barn at Monmouth Park before the Haskell, voluntarily ran him without Lasix, that
should have eliminated Alysheba 's
label as a drug-store horse.
Alysheba lost by a neck to Bel
Twice in a slam-bang finish. Without
Lasix, it was a winning effort even
though Van Berg 's horse didn 't win.
The decision on supplementing
Super Diamond for $360,000 in the
Breeders' Cup Classic won 'tbe made
until Nov. 9, which is the day the
$120,000 first payment is due.
Trainer Eddie Gregson said that
Super Diamond wouldn 't run between no w and the Breeders' Cup,
adding that the decision would be
determined by:
The condition of the horse.

made it 7-0 in favor of the Seals.
Bloomsburg came back following
the kickoff and on the third play from
the Bloomsburg 27, Gutshall raced
through the line on a simple dive play,

Seal defenders down the left sideline
for a 73-yard TD with 2:52 left in the
half. Tom Pursel's kick tied the score
7-7.

The Seals failed to gain on the next
series and punted. Bloomsburg then

the half to go and the ball on the
Selinsgrove 15-yard line. Pursel hit
the field goal from the 22-yard line
with time running out in the half to
make the score 10-7 in favor of the
Panthers at halftime.

converted the extra-point for a 7-0
Danville lead.
After the ensuing kickoff , Central
stunned the Ironmen with a 68-yard
pass to Dwayne Brouse, who returned
to action for the first time since breaking his collar bone in the season
opener, but the touchdown play was
called back on a penalty and neither
team threatened the remainder of the
half.
On their first possession of the
second half , Central closed the gap to
7-6 with a 67-yard drive, powered
mostly by the running pf Ron Boston,
who lead all Blue Jay rushers with 74

4:47 left in the third quarter. Pursel 's
kick made it 17-7.
On Bloomsburg's next series, Lynn

the ball.
Selinsgrove, in a last-ditch attempt
to pull the game out, moved 51 yards
in five plays, all passes with Ed Stetler
taking a pass from Stout for a 32-yard
touchdown strike.
The Seals then went for two and got
it with Stout throwing to Dave Bodnar
with 1:14 left in the game.
On the ensuing kickoff , Selinsgrove tried an onside kick, the ball

extra-point.

the tying kick, the snap went to Dill,

keep the score 7-6.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Danville increased its lead when
the Ironmen faced a third-and-six

for the first down, Coombe lofted a
pass to Straughn Lumpkin down the
left sideline, and the speedy wide
receiver outran the Central defenders

Coombe was sacked on the second
play of the final series, and on the
third play John Brent fumbled after a
6-yard gain on a pass from Coombe,
and the Jays recovered with less than
a minute to go.
Early in the game, Danville surprised Central and just about everyone else by employing its goal-line,
big-boy offense as a regular formation at the start of the game.
Moving linemen Millar and Bryan
Brady into the backfield to block for
Brent, who moved from fullback to
tailback in the power-I formation, the
Ironmen also went with a tight unbalanced line and appeared ready to
grind out a ball-control offense.
The strategy worked as Brent, who

Off the
Bench

by Dave Sauter
Staff Writer
Ask any typical student here at
Bloomsburg University about
how good our football team is
and , chances are, nine people out
of 10 will recognize lhat thc 1987
Huskies are full of potential , just
as they've been for at least the last
several years.
True, tliey mi ght not have been
victorious on Saturday, losing to
die Millersville Marauders 33-21,
bul one could still sec thc potential
there jusl waiting to burst out.
Offensivel y, thc Huskies arc
loaded wilh quarterback Jay
Dcdca, who is in the process of
rewriting almost all of thc
university 's passing records.
Tommy Marti n is a star. Listed
al onl y 5 feet 7 inches, and 165
pounds , he has arguably become
one of thc best running backs in
thc Pennsylvania Stale Alhlclic
Conference.
Receiving-wise for thc Huskies, no one can argue thc greatness of thc John Rockmorc-Curlis
Still tandem. Over thc years, these
two have constistanll y come
through in the clutch for
Bloomsb urg.
Defensivel y, tliere arc three
people who showcase the Huskies. Todd Leitzel at left end ,
Derrick Hill at slrong safety and
Bruce Linton al corncrback arc
most counted on in crucial situations. Interesting to note, thc
three arc all juniors and have
anolher full year lo lead the
Bloomsburg defense.
But tliis is not thc only team that
has had so much potential.
Virtually every junior and senior can recall thai magical year of
1985. Thc Huskies went undefeated for thc regular season to
earn the PSAC championship.
With their 31-9 win over Indiana
University of Pennsy lvania , they
earned the ri ght to play in the national playoffs for Division II
football.
And play is what ihey did.
Bloomsburg kept rolling along
inlo tlie national semi-finals before finall y meeting their match.
Northern Alabama University ,
playing with thc home-field advantage, stopped thc Huskies'
momentum in a rout to end thc
dream of a national championshi p.
Still , Bloomsburg had a lot to be
proud of. Among their many record set that year was the record for
most wins in a season as they finished up 12-1. Also, it was thc
furthest thc Huskies had ever advanced in Division II football in
their long history dating back to
1896.
Yes, there was much to be
proud of.
The Bloomsburg University
football program has come far
from its early days. In the beginning, tliey played many games
against local schools such as WUliamsport High School in 1910,
and Wiikes-Barre high School in
1911. Some of these games were
won and some were lost.
Thc Huskies struggled to play
.500 all the way through the 1940s
before becoming a dominant
team.
From
1945-1955 ,
Bloomsburg had 11 straight winning scasopns including undefeated years in 1948 and 1951.
But then they fell again and
struggled up til 1982, with 1981
being the low point as thc team
finished 0-10. At that point many
teams considered BU the "patsy"
on their schedule.
Not anymore.
Since 1983, the football program has regrouped itself and
made a complete 180 degree turn.
Their combined record since then
is 30-13-1, 19-3-1 over the last
two years. The Huskies are now
considered one of the strongest
and most dangerous teams in the
PSAC.
I think the swing will continue.
There is son much enthusiasm and
support for the Bloomsburg football program that all of those dismal past seasons are a chapter in
the Huskies' book that's been
closed. The future indeed looks
bright for Bloonsburg.
Husky fever- catch it!

Millersville holds the Homecoming Huskies

Maurader defense
stifles Bloomsburg

by Da ve Sauter
Staff Writer
Homecoming 1987 was anything
but a happy occasion for the Huskies
of Bloomsburg University as they
were dealt a tough 33-21 loss by
Millersville University.
Steve Napier was a one-man team
wrecker as he rushed for over 111
yards and caught a 68-yard touchdown pass to the lead the Mauraders
past the 20th nationall y ranked 16.
There were 5600 fans in Redman
Staduium to watch the game in warm
but windy conditions.
Bloomsburg started off very poorly
and they fell behind very early, 17-0,
after the first quarter.
Things went from bad to worse as
Millersville went ahead 24-0 early in
thc sedond quarter. The Huskies finally got on the scoreboard a couple
minutes later to make it 24-7 going
into half.
Thc third quarter was fairl y quiet
wilht thc only score being a Maurader
field goal lhat made thc game 27-7.
Bloomsburg mounted a comeback , scoring two fourth quarter
touchdowns , but Millersville responded wilh one of their own to
seallhc victory al 33-21.
Thc Mauraders opened up thc
game by scoring on their second possession. On a third and five situation
from their own 45 yard line, quarterback Bret Stover sprinicd% 55 yards on
a broken play down thc sidelines for
one of his two touchdowns. Luke
Hadfield tacked on the extra point to
make it 7-0.
Then , almost eight minutes, later a

Jay DeDea pass was intercepted by
linebacker Jim Cassarclla
on the 23 and relurned it for a Maudcr
touchdown. Once again Hadfield was
on the money and lhc score remained
at 17-0.
Millersville again slruck quickl y
in the second qauarlcr taking advantage of thc excellent field position at
midfield.Stovcr guided thc Marauders 50 yards in nine plays wilh his
two-yard keeper scoring anolher
touchdown. Hadfickls kick made il
24-0.
The Huskies finally gol on thc
scoreboard a minute later as Tommy
Marti n on an off-Iiickle play broke a
27-yard touchdown run. Chris
Mingronc 's kick made it 24-7, thc
score remaining thc same through
halftimc.
There was onl y one score in tlie
third quarter , that being a 32-yard
field goal by Hadfield with 54 seconds left. It capped al4 play drive lhat
started on the Millersville 29 yard
line.
Wilh 8:37 to play in thc game , thc
Huskies almost made a comeback.
Todd Leitzel intercepted a Stover
pass for Bloomsburg and returned il
to thc Millersville 32-yard line.
After DeDea was sacked for a 12
yard loss, hc comp leted a 33 yard pass
to tight end John Rockmorc. Two
play s and a penalty later, DeDea
scored on a 6-yard keeper.
Mingronc's extra point made it 27-14.
The Huskies then were successful
on an onsidc kick attempt , which was
recovered by Mingrone. Their drive

tlie next p lay. Marauder fullback
Scott Hig hlcy fumbled and Derrick
Hill recovered on the six-yard line.
DeDea only needed one play as he
passed to Jeff Sparks for the touchdown. Mingronc 's kick was good
again and Bloomsb urg only trailed by
six points , 27-21.
But it was not to be. On
Millcrsvillc's next possession , Stover
connected wilh tailback Steve Napier
for a 68 yard touchdown pass.
Had ficld's kick missed to thc lefl, but
die damage had been done as the score
ended up llie final one, 33-21.
Thc Huskies hurt themselves

throughout thc game by missing opportunities and crucial turnovers.
Five times Bloomsburg advanced
deep into Marauder territory and
failed to score. Five times Jay DeDea
was intercepted , twice in the endzone.
Millersville had 18 penalties for 144
yards, but the Huskies could not capitalize. In addition , DeDea was sacked
six times for 76 yards. Twice the ball
was snapped over his head.
There were many highlights for
Bloomsburg , though. Offensivel y,
DeDea was 21-45 for 300 yards.
Tommy Martin gained 84 yards on
the ground in 18 attempts, and also
caught ten passes for 108 yards. Cur-

tis Still caught four passes for 92
yards.
Defensivel y, noscguard Larry
DeLuca led the team with twelve
tackles. Todd Leitzel had an interception and caused a fumble. Derrick Hill
had two fumble recoveries and
Delmis Woods blocked a pass. Also,
Bruce Linton had several crucial
tackles and played well overall.
With the loss, the Huskies dropped
to 5-3 on thc year.They travel to Slippery Rock next Saturday for a 1:30

Al Michaels, Tim McCarver and
Jim Palmer are engaging, likable
guys, but they are snowing us under
with facts and figures to the extent
that much of thc World Series telecasts have become a big bore.
The ABC announcers are overprepared. Alan Roth and Steve Hirdt ,
the statisticians, are outstanding
people. They are serving up a rich
smorgasbord of figures for the announcers. That is fine. But they have
done such a good job their data have
taken over thc telecasts.
Spouting
figures almost non-stop, Michaels,
McCarver and Palmer frequ ently
have sounded like an accounting firm .
We are getting more numbers from
the World Series than from Wall
Street.

Capitalizing on several fourthquarter errors by Danville, Central

third and long situation when thc
second big break came.
After an incomplete pass, Rob
Millar was flagged for roughing thc
passer, giving Central a first and 10 al

Matt Winn with a 13-yard pass to the
one yard line, and , three plays later,
John Johnson plunged over from the 1

A clock-eating rushing game
which included 320 net yards, two
touchdowns and a field goal, and a
rock-ribbed stingy defensive effort
paced Bloomsburg to a 17-15 mild
upset over Selinsgrove in a Central
Susquehanna Conference game Friday night.
Bloomsburg improved to 4-3 with
its second straight victory, while
Selinsgrove, a 27-21 winner over the
Panthers last year, fell to 5-3.
It was homecoming night for the
Seals, who came off a big offensive

show last week scoring 55 points
against Warrior Run , but the Panther
defense didn 't seem to know about
that as time after time it held the
Seals.
Jamie Gutshall with 217 yards
rushing in 24 attempts and two touchdowns, including a 73 yarder, paced
the Panther ground game. Halfback
Erick Estrada also surpassed the 100yard mark, gaining 103 yards on 18
carries.
And a tight defense featuring interceptions on the part of Tate Hunsingerand Jeff Fomwald cut down some
of the Seal' s passing attack.
'

"We scattered them well," coach
Tom Lynn explained after the game.
"My scouts do a real good job , then
we take the information and put it
together.The kids then go out and use
it.
"Basically we had a three-man rush
on quarterback Mike Stout of the
Seals with Dave Bazis, George Law
and Mike Haney our three-man rush."
Stout, who was onl y 6 for 19 passing before -the Seal's late fourth period touchdown drive, finished 13 for
29 fo.- 216 yards, but three interceptions hurt the Selinsgrove offense.
