Speaker discusses deficit , apartheid by Jacki Boettger Staff Writer Thc deficit-related problems created by budget policies was one topic of the last Bloomsburg University Provost Speaker of the semester Monday ni ght. U. S. Rep. William H. Gray III addressed a public audience in Kuster Auditorium on "America 's Foreign Policy in South Africa. " The presentation , sponsored by thc University-wide Committee on Human Relations, was part of thc Provost's Lecture Scries and included a final qucstion-and-answer period. Gray explained how the existence of official and unofficial budget policies arc creating problems in trying to reduce our nation 's deficit. He said that the official congressional policy of making equal budget cuts and increasing revenue is being ignored and replaced by a policy which allows the United States to borrow money and send the bill to future generations. "Essentially, wc have had a budgetary gridlock for the last three years," Gray said. "Where thc administration wants to continue to spend on defense and at the same time make cuts in domestic programs, while not being for needed government services." On the fiscal crisis, which hc claims was accented by the recent stock market crash, hc added , "There must be a fundamental change in terms of the fiscal and revenue policy." Gray, who is serving his fifth term as Representative of Pennsylvania 's 2nd Congressional District , is chairman ofthe House Budget Committee and has become a spokesman on U.S. policy in South Africa. According to Gray, the official U.S. policy towards South Africa includes sanctions against the apartheid regime. He said several bans that have been imposed , but added thc bans are not being enforced because an unofficial BU blood drive stalls 96) p ints short of goal by Michele Bupp Staff Writer Last week's blood drive at Bloomsburg University fell short by 90 pints. The Bloomsburg Chapter of the American Red Cross Bloodmobile results last week at BU totalled 580 pints for both collecting days. The blood sum failed to meet the Chapter 's goal of 335 pints per day. Mary Ann Stasik, director of Bloomsburg Chapter Bloodmo- bile, attributes the reduced donation to last week's snow storm. Several BU fraternities and sororities are tabulating the pints their members donated at the blood drive and upcoming drives throughout the school year , in an effort to be the most generous donors. The winning organization at the end of the year receives a dinner and plaque sponsored by the Bloomsburg Chapter. The Bloodmobile will again visit BU in January. University to display geography exhibit Bloomsburg university will observe Oeography Awareness week through Nov. 21 with displays located on campus and in the Town of Bloomsburg. Recent studies describe an appalling lack of geographic knowledge among citizens in a nation constantly called upon to provide international leadership. The Southern Governors Association recommended last year that geography be taught as distinctive subject matter in K-12 instruction. George Stetson , assistant professor of geography and earth science, has initiated the four displays, three on campus and one at the Bloomsburg Public Library. According to Stetson, a display case in Hartline Science Center will feature an audience-participation exhibit for people to see which countries they can guess without looking at the answers listed at the bottom of the display. Maps, text books and travel-related items will be on display in the lobby of the University Bookstore, said Marge Wegrzynowicz, general book buyer. Bill Frost, reference collection librarian, is in charge of the display in Andruss Library located on the ground floor. Selected library materials including books, pamphlets and maps will be cn exibit.The Bloomsburg Public Library will have a display on the second floor that will include books, a poster and the proclamation signed by President Reagan designating Nov. 15-21, 1987 as Geography Awareness Week. policy which is being followed is "ignoring the letter ofth e law." As an example, Gray said the U.S. Department of Transportation allowed South African Airways to continue lo land in this country long after existing law ruled il illegal. In a report, Gray said President Reagan recommended that the U.S. should not impose sanctions, but should resort to "active and creative diplomacy" in urging South Africa to move toward democracy. Gray commented that such an approach would be no different from thc failed policies ofth e past. He later pointed out that the U.S. must listen to the South African majority and find oul their interests. He added that American sanctions in the past have not destroyed other countries. "Those who oppose sanctions...must pretend that when South African government docs implement changes, they (thc changes) are the result of some inherent desire for democracy...," Gray said. Dr. Robert Rosholt , chairman of BU's Department of Political Science, had explained how thc United States had almost no choice but to support the South African army, which has sent troops into Angola to help tlie fight against communism. He asked Gray how thc U.S. should deal with the situation , since U.S. policy also opposes South African apartheid policy. Rep. Gray said the United States should ask itself if it will be pressured for non-violent change or continue lo consort wiih the oppressors and the racism of apartheid? Gray paraphrased a speech that President John F. Kennedy would have delivered on the day Kennedy was slain: "America 's greatness lies in her mission to the world , not in hcr missiles, and as long as we remember that our mission is to provide for freedom , dignity , and liberty and to hold those principles high in our foreign policy, then wc will not have to rely upon missiles." U.S. Representative William Gray III discussed thc U.S. policy I'or South Africa and the national debt Monday night. photo bv ci>ri_ Lowe Questions remain regarding deficit by Joel Havemann L.A. Times-Washington Post Service At his Oct. 22 press conference , President Reagan squarel y blamed Congress for the record federal budget deficits of his administration. "For six years," he insisted , "I've repeatedly asked for less money, and they've turned around and given me more to spend." At the root of Reagan 's charge are two basic questions: How much defi cit reduction has he proposed in his six federal budgets? And how much has Congress actually approved? Unfortunately, these questions have no easy answers. In fact , nobody - not the president's Office of Management and Budget , not the Congressional Budget Office , not any of the outside groups Ihat keep track of the budget - has sought to determine how much the president has proposed to reduce deficits and whether Congress has given him more or less than he has asked. The reasons are as complicated as the trillion dollar budget: -The nature of the budgets themselves. The president's annual budget does not list his deficit-reduction proposals. And Congress' disposition of the president's budget is harder yet to analyze. No single document pulls together the effects of all the spending and tax actions that Congress takes each year. -The variable baseline. Deficit reduction is measured not against what the deficit was the previous year but against what it would be this year undercurrent policies - the so-called baseline. Defining current policies is trick y. In a period of growth in the defense budget , for example, does current policy mean last year's program levels or 5 percent more than last year 's program levels? Yet the size of the baseline determines the amount of deficit reduction. -The whims of the economy. All estimates of spending and tax revenue arc highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. When the economy falls short of expectations, for example, revenue from the income and payroll taxes do likewise. Similarly, when inflation exceeds expectations, so does spending for everything from Social Security benefits to nuclear submarines. The president proposes his budget eight months before the beginning of the fiscal year. Projecting economic conditions that far ahead is a risky proposition at best. Congress then adopts a budget resolution that is generally based on t he same economic assumptions as the president's budget. For purposes of analyzing their deficit reduction proposals, the two are thus comparable. The trouble is that the congressional budget does no more than guide Congress' subsequent, piecemeal spending and tax bills. Estimates of the impact of those bills are based on separate economic assumptions; the assumptions that apply to a single bill sometimes change considerably as the bill works through the legislative process. In the end , deficits rise or fall because of both policy actions and changes in economic assumptions; separating the economic effects from the policy effects is almost impossible. -The whims of the weather. Just as thc economy affects tax revenue, s o does the weather influence how much money the government pays in its farm subsidy programs. Better weather generally results in more government spending because good weather means bountiful harvests and low market prices. But farm spending can also change as a result of policy actions by the president and Congress. When spending actually rises or falls - and farm spending has been extremely volatile in recent years analysts have great difficulty separating out the changes resulting from policy and those resulting from the weather. -Phony cuts. Further complicating the situation is that the president and Congress both typically claim unreal deficit reductions. In its first month in office , for example, Reagan 's revision of President Carter's fiscal 1982 budget included $44 billion in domestic savings to be proposed later - but they were never proposed . That same budget was based on an intentionally unrealistic estimate of the economy's future, which became known as "rosy scenario." by David B. Ottaway war to allow emergency food distribution. It was on the Asmara-to-Mekele road that Eriu ean rebels attacked and burned a convoy of 23 trucks carrying 450 tons of relief food supplies on Oct. 23. The attack shocked the international community and raised what Taft called "an enormously important new dimension" to efforts to supply food to "over 5 million people" facing what AID is calling a drought "as serious or even more serious" than one in 1984-85. Taft indicated that AID does not believe Ethiopia is doing enough to avert another famine disaster. "This is not a situation where there is a lack of resources from the donors available. This is definitely a situation in which there is a lack of political will on the part of the combatants in this 25-year-old struggle to provide the necessary safe passage, which we call open road, own risk," she said. "That issue, the security issue, is the one that is driving the famine concerns that face us now," she added. Taft said there are sufficient relief supplies in Ethiopia's main ports and towns as well as trucks to transport America calls f o r Ethiopian aid LA. Times-Washington Post Service The Executive Board of the Community Government Association discusses policy formation at a recent meeting. President Ed Photo by Ben Garrison Gobora is pictured in thc Center. Dole, R-Kan., characterized it as "blue smoke and mirrors." And last year, when Congress was trying to meet the $ 154 billion deficit target set by the Gramm-Rudman act for fiscal 1987, it moved a $680 million installment of the federal revenue-sharing program by five days so that it would fall at the end of fiscal 1986 instead of thc beginning of fiscal 1987. -The long run. Perhaps worst of all, it is impossible for anyone to determine what the long-term impact would have been of proposals that were never put into place. What happens in the first year of a budget is really much less important than how it affects spending and revenues down the road. But when Congress rejects a Reagan plan to eliminate a domestic program or the White House refuses to go along with a tax increase, nobody can say what might have been and everybody has to start all over again. -The difficulty of analyzing efforts to reduce the deficit has undoubt edly contributed to thc fai lure of Congress and the administration to accomplish more. When the deficit remains high, the public cannot figure out where the blame belongs. Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon , the ranking Republican member of the Senate Finance Committee, commented during a break in Tuesday's budget negotiations: "We've never faced up to this (deficit problem) beCongress can play the same game. fore." When asked whether Congress Its 1985 deficit reduction package and the administration are finally was so full of gimmicks that Sen. Bob doing it, he replied: "Not so far." The United States Tuesday issued an urgent appeal to both Ethiopia and anti-government rebels to allow the United Nations and Western private voluntary groups to safely transport aid to millions of people again facing famine in northern Ethiopia. The U.S. appeal for both sides to adopt "an open-road, own-risk" policy came as the Ethiopian authorities Tuesday closed down the main road for transporting vital relief supplies from the city of Asmara in northern Eritrea south to Mekele, one of the regions worst affected by the drought. We don't know how long the roads will be closed, but they are the lifeline to providing food for people," said Julia V. Taft , director of the U.S. Agency for International Development's disaster-relief office. She has just returned from a four-day visit to Ethiopia. "We're very adamant, as are all the donors, in pleading with the government and the rebels to let the food flow," she said. Taft urged both sides to assure safe passage for relief convoys and accept a cease-fire in their them. But the security situation was such, she said, that both foreign relief and private food-laden trucks either were being blocked by the government, or their drivers were afraid to travel after the Oct. 23 attack.

Reiss I Editor-in-Chief Nothing at BU is that easy Registrar shows no mercy With 96 credits 10 my name , thc second day ol" scheduling mem walking ri g ht up to the terminals and getting all the courses I needed for graduation this May in under two minutes. A dream come true , until I checked my mailbox to find a memorandum: "This is to notif y you that through no fault of yours or ours... " (kind of tactful , wouldn ' t YOU say?) Anyway, to make it simple, this nofault memo tossed my butt oul of two require d classes which I had scheduled in order to get my dip loma at the end of the spring sememstcr. Dr. Chapman did. however , send along an incomplete schedule drop/add form witl i instructions to sec my advisor and select additional courses, (what a nice guy) So , in quite a subdued manner , I showed this memo to my adviser explaining my need for the two courses. "Mmm ."" he said , "You need these courses to graduate. Go see Dr. Chapman. " (sound like lhe bediming ofa nm around?) Down the hall I met up with Dr. Chapman and gave my speech on how I don 't graduate without these courses. His reply was, "Sorry , but there arc marketing and management majors who couldn 't get those courses, and they need them to graduate. So we dropped all non-marketing and management majors and let the people who couldn 't schedule it into the class. I can 't let you in or it would overload the class. Go see your chairman , Dr. Olivo." Since Dr. Olivo was out of town for a few days , I decided to visit thc registrar's office and see what they could do, which was NOTHING. (At this point I got tired of running around and decided to sit and think about all this) Now , it doesn 't require a lot of thought to figure out that those with more credits get classes before those with fewer. How then , can Dr. Chapman be kicking mc out and al- lowing other students, who must have less credits than I , to lake my place? Is Dr. Chapman making up his own policy? When thc chairman of my department relumed , hc said that I defi natcly needed the one course but that he could substitute a class in psychology or something for the other business course, (now wc are getting somewhere, but what courses arc still open this late in scheduling ?) Returning to Dr. Chapman on Wednesday , as hc told mc , isn 't going to be as easy as hc made it out to be. I was told that hc is out of town until Friday. As of now I still don 't have the courses I need to graduate, and I know there arc many others in thc same boat who have gone to higher authorities than myself - Thc Dean of Business , The Provost , and even President Ausprich , and still nothing. So, as thc memo says: Thank you for your cooperation.

Congratulations to you, Mr. Mellon , you said it all and said it well. Sincerely It it most gratifying to see a college Joan H. Lenker cwr ixwBHlWi.) J Dear Editor Neither rain , nor snow, etc. etc., as the saying goes, can deter the mail from being delivered. The dedicated always come through. Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12, were the two days designated for the blood drive at Bloomsburg University. To refresh your memory— it snowed. To our delight , close to 600 students, staff and faculty showed up to donate blood. If people in general Please don 't be too quick to judge Deai* Mr. Mellon , Many people have opinions about matters that , in one way or another, affect them. Here is mine on a subject that is getting much attention , abortion. You , being a man , can not get pregnan t, therefore , you can make a lot of comments on abortion. There is no way that I or any other woman who has gone through an abortion can make you understand the complications and/or problems that develop due to an unwanted pregnancy. Granted, thc women ihat use it as a method of birth control are wrong. Also, even though unwanted children do get abused , it is not onl y those who suffer from their parent/guardians sickness. If you could for just a few moments of your day, Mr. Mellon , try to put yourself in my situation. I am a 19year-old woman who before coming to college had been a virgin. As all (the majority of) freshmen women who start at a college, I too began changing my sexual attitude. To put it bluntly, I began to "sleep around". I would go to two or three parties a night , (during the summer), get completely encbriated , then if I saw someone who expressed an interest I would start a conversation or "accidently " bump into them , etc. Already I know what you are thinking. I should have been on birth control. This is true. Had I known about it, I would have been. My pregnancy did not happen that summer, though. I had almost failed out of the summer freshmen probation program and decided that I would straighten myself out. I came back in the spring and brought my G.P.A . up. I went to two (yes only two) parties that semester. During this time I got to know someone who had been in an earlier class whom I had had an interest in. We eventually had sex. He would not wear a condom and I (as naive as I was) would not get birth control pills. To tell you the truth , Mr. Mellon , I thought you had to have your paren t 's permission to buy them. No matter though , the damage had already been done. I was pregnant. The next day the boy and I broke up and I had a strange feel ing that something terrible was or had already happened. My best friend bought an early pregnancy test for me and the results were positive. I was pregnant. I went to the Family Planning Service and again took a pregnancy test with hopes that the first had been wrong. It wasn 't ' Every day I was getting sick. I was so tired all I could do was go to class, then come home and lay down. Throughout the ordeal, I would cry trying to Figureout what I was going to do. I refused to give up my education. I was not going to end up like my office administration doesn t seem to care any more than thc chairperson of management. Thc dean of the department , well he doesn 't even seem to realize the department of office administration exists, let alone wha the requirements are. We are told to fill in anything just so that we can graduate. What can we do? We are expected to schedule upper-level courses at the same time the freshmen are scheduling. Is this fair? When will the administration straighten itself out? This is not the first time some of us have had problems because of the administration 's mix-ups. When will students stop paying for the mistakes of the administration? Something has to be done? Please someone help us!!

How can the college of business justify letting sophomores and juniors into fourth level classes before seniors? When asked for help, the department chairperson of management said that we office administration majors were "getting into business through thc back door" and that if we wanted the classes "why weren 't we business administration majors?" Currently, senior office administration majors are desperate to graduate and have no one to turn to for help. Some advisors are sympathetic, but can do nothing. The department chairperson of Dear Editor I wan t to commend your staff columnist , Paul Mellon , for his outstanding rebuttal to the pro-choice views expressed" by Ms. "Donna Maso¦¦> -¦ ¦• ¦ Furedi.* * •* * * ¦- • -• ¦• * ¦ FCR CRVl^X OOUJESE r To the Editor After successfully completing th ree and a half years at this university it amazes me how incompetant, nasty snd uncaring the administration is. The registrar, as many of you know, once again "screwed" the students. (Along with the college of business administrators.) Thc nice man who runs scheduling appears to have let sophomores juniors, and arts and science majors fill up thc classes ment for business majors. The means that most graduating business adminstration , marketing, managemen t and office administration majors received letters in their mail boxes saying that their required management and marketing classes wcre dropped. This was fine for most marketing mother (a maid) or any of those women I had seen and heard about who lived on welfare wiih hcr four kids. I decided after much thought tliat I would tell the father. At firs t he asked me if I was sure that itwas his. He dien asked me what I was going to do. Not "what do you think we should do?" At this point I had already decided that I was not going to keep the child. When I told him this he decided he didn ' t think he agreed to that , therefore , leave him alone, he didn 't care. I knew this would be his reaction although I must admit for a minute I thought he might be an adult about the situation. At this point I tried to think of anybody who could help me. None of my close friends could help, they had no money to help. The only people left were my parents. You cannot imagine how hard it was for me to tell them that their little girl was pregnant , that the boy who had 'helped' was no longer involved and she wanted an abortion. At first my mother told me that I was going to quit school, have the child and raise him/her in a single parent environment. I refused! There was no way I was going to ruin my life on a mistake that could have been prevented. Yes I know that it could have been prevented Mr. Mellon. I also know that it was my fault for being so naive. My parents did eventually decide that they had to help me. How could they not? I had always been a pretty good student , never gotten into trouble and had my mind made up to what I was going to do with my life. Gelling pregnant was no in that plan. My mother aged more than you can imagine. I know I hurt her more than I could have in any other way. So now I am here again still raising my G.P.A. and as of now, have not gone to one party or had sex with anyone. Mr. Mellon you are allowed your opinion , but unfortunately do not have to worry about becoming pregnant so therefore can preach up and down about the sins of abortion.Until the time you can experience it you should give those of us who have a little consideration towards our feelings. I know I killed an innocent child. I know that thousands of people, who cannot have children, could have given that baby a wonderful home. On the other hand, I know I would not have been able to handle being a mother. Think about what I have said, not only for my sake or for your sake, but for the sake of the other millions of women who suffer internally every day of their lives.

Phil Nee entertains students by Joe Cullinan Staff Writer Laughter filled Kehr Union Sunday ni ght as comedian Phil Nee performed for Bloomsburg University. Nee, who is of Chinese descent, focused most of his material on popular conceptions and jok es about the Chinese. He took most of his material from real life situations of his life in Ncw York. Nee, who was late arriving, explained his tardiness with a story about how he got pulled over on Route 80 by flashing his headlights at a state trooper in front of him. From there he went on talking about Chinese drivers. "People always come up to me and say 'Phil! How come you Chinese can 't drive?' " So I went lo China Town in San Francisco and asked thc brothers about il. And do you know what? For every story you have about an accident with a Chinaman , they 've got one about how they tied up traffic one day. • "They say to me, 'You know the light that say turn left? Well, I turn right. Screw up traffic for hour. '" He also reminisced about his home i n New York, where his mother would cook Chinese food every day except Thanksgiving, when she would cook a turkey. "There we would be, the whole family, all 10,000of us, and we would all want the wing. It was like a Kung Fu movie at the table." Another topic was doing laundry. He talked about the clepto-amputee who always steals a sock from your wash. Then he raised the intriguing question, "Why are the dryers the same temperature as the surface of the sun? What are we drying that it has to be this hot?" Probably the most exciting topic Nee discussed was condoms. Hc took great pleasure in describing the different shapes, textures and colors of them . "Should I wear the red one toni ght dear? No, it makes you look like a German shepherd ," he jokes. Nee has been working professionally as a comedian for about two years. He started out when one of his friends put his name in for open mike night" at the Improv. That went over well, so he began auditioning for other comedy clubs. Then, in 1985, he won Showtime's "Funniest Man in America" award. Since this required two months of touring, he decided to quit his job as a graphic artist for ABC TV in New Yosk. "I fi gured this was a once in a life time deal, and I didn 't want to be calling in sick from a truck stop for two months." Since then he has been touring colleges and clubs around the country. When asked if he preferred night clubs or colleges, he said, "At first I really preferred the night clubs, because of the atmosphere, and people arc drinking. Now I like the colleges more than I did when I first started. "Now when I go, I see all these young girls, around 19 or 20, and I think , 'Wow, maybe if this had been ten years ago, things might have been different. It would have been great. I would be 19 or 20, and these girls would have been around 9 or 10." by Mike Moyer Staff Writer As usual , Arnold Schwarzeneggar looks as if he has the I.Q. of dirt and talks like he has a mouthful of it, too. Perhaps I' m being a little too hard on Arnold. He tries hard , and obviously isn 't hired for his acting abilities. He's hired for who he is, and, more importantly, for his looks. He's Arnold Schwarzeneggar: weightliftcr extraordinaire. He's very big, very strong, and very mean (when he wants to be). That's why he's starring in "The Running Man. " I can't imagine anyone else battling thc assassins in this movie - huge men witli names like Buzzsaw, Sub-zero, Dynamo, and Fireball, other than Arnold. Also starring in the futuristic tale is Richard Dawson as the sinister host of "The Running Man ," the world's most popular game show. The game show is a far cry from "Family Feud", though. As host and boss of the show, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson) is in charge of picking the contestants. The contestants, in this case, are all prisoners. The contestants are taken to the studio and then transported down to a huge underground city which was destroyed by an earthquake. The contestants must find their way through the rubbled city. If they survive, freedom is their reward. ety is based on violence, which is why "The Running Man " is the number one show in the world, as even 80year-old women cheer the assassins on. The best scenes are when Arnold fights the assassins. The stunts are exciting and the assassins meet their untimely death in an inventive way. And of course, Arnold has his usual batch of one-liners that are so prevalent in his previous films. By far, the best acting is done by Dawson . He'salmosttoo horrify ingly convincing as the manical host. Yaphet Kotto (from "Alien") does a respectable job in a small role, and the assassins (which feature ex-football star Jim Brown) are hilariously menacing. "The Running Man" offers moderate entertainment if you're willing to put your brain on hold for two hours and just sit back and watch. The squimish type may have to cover their eyes once in a while, and it may be adyisable to have an interpreter handy whenjArnold speaks-. But fortunately, that's only a few sentences at a time.

However, don't look for a change in the way he sings or the subjects he addresses. Aftcra waitof more than a year, PiL have released "Happy?" , their eighth album , on Virgin records. Johnny Lydon described PiL as more of a way of life than amere band, and this was reflected in their music. Adopting a sty le of variety taken to the extreme, PiL decided to give the people not what they wanted,but what they never expected. Throug hout PiL's career, each of their albums has proven to be a departure from the last. Their debut album,"Public Image", released in 1978, left the Sex Pistols completely behind. "MetalBox ",their second album , was brilliant in every respect , from its packaging (three records in a movie-tin) to its sound (heavy bass, odd keyboards and guitar, and wailing vocals). From 1980 to 1984, PiL released four more albums, "Paris in the Spring ", "The Flowers of Romance ", "Live in Tokyo", and "This Is What You Want...This Is What You Get ". Each of these kept people wondering what would come next; perhaps this was Johnny 's plan all along. In 1985, PiL released an album that seemed to be their ultimate statement. Entided "Album " in vinyl form , "Cassette " in tape form , and "Compact Disc " in digital form , the album was a tour-de-force in generic packaging. Songs with one-word titles like "FFF" , "Home ", "Rise ", "Ease " and "Bags " were listed like ingredients. Underneath the simplicity, however, was a complex collection of expert playing ability and catchy tunes. This was an album that would not be easily followed. It's now 1987 and we have a new PiL album. The band has a semi-permanent lineup, a new video,and a new tour is scheduled. Johnny even has a new haircut. The question at hand - is PiL's new album as good as their previous material? Let's start with the title: "Happy? " Without the question mark, just another title. But with it, a different meaning. Perhaps a return to the attitude that everything should be ques- tioned, that placid compliance is the downfall of free-thinkers everywhere. See BAND page 5 The Economics Club will continue to sell tickets for the Boston trip on Dec. 3. Tickets cost 530 for members and $35 for non-members, and includes travel and lodging fees.

Pittman and Oliver view contemporary hi gh school life as somewhat less than inspiring, but they and specialeffects expert Jim Doyle spend most of their time devising some stunningl y surreal supernatural and dream sequences that evolve from the most mundane of everyday situations. For example, in poor, tormented Vicki's mind a volleyball net turns into a vast , sticky spider's web threatening to entrap her. In another impressive sequence Vicki is simply sitting at a schoolroom desk when Mary Lou 's ghastly arms reach out from a blackboard . Vicki is swifdy pulled into them , with the blackboard turning into a pool of churning brackish water in which she struggles to keep from drowning. Admirably, the film makers manage to sustain their nightmare logic from start to finish. For all their contemporary sense of libera tion , Vicki and her classmates have suddenly been thrust into the clutches of '50s morality when Mary Lou 's spiri t rises up like the Creature from the Black Lagoon to protest such a severe fate for having played around. That enraged boyfriend has grown up to be Hamilton High's principal (Michael Ironside), and the youth with whom he caught her having sex is now the priest (Richard Monette) at the Catholic church just across the street from the school; botir men are figuresof unspoken, deeply repressed guilt. The years have turned Vicki's mother (Judy Mahbey) into a dour religious zealot who dominates her ineffectual husband (Wendell Smith). The adults of this film seem to be as intent on denying the existence of evil as those of "Blue Velvet ". You do not, however, have to take "Hello Mary Lou" (MPAA-rated R for strong language, standard horror picture grisliness and some nudity) at all seriously, and it probably would be a mistake to do so. Certainly, it is not on the deeply personal, highly idiosyncratic artistic level of the David Lynch film , but it is a splendid example of what imagination can do with formula genre material. Much credit for making the film work also goes to Wendy Lyon for making credible Vicki's behavior in what can only be called incredible circumstances.

Fielder, facilities coordinator of thc Office of Budget of thc Stale System of Hi gcr Education. Robert Parrish , vice president for administration , said a total of $840,000, recently released by Gov. Robert Casey's office , would be used for design and construction of elevators for Carver Hall , Haas Center for thc Arts, Benjamin Franklin Building, and Navy Hall. "Elevators arc needed badly in these buildings ," he said. "Ben Franklin is especially acute because thc onl y way to get to essential sludent services such as counseling, orientation , financial aid , and placement is up a fli ght of stairs." Fiedler said the base construction allocation was $700,000, leaving $140,000 for a design professional to be selected by die Department of General Services. Parrish said tiie design phase would take about 10 months, and funds for implementation will have to be released upon completion of the architectural design. Parrish also noted that sometime in die future a second capital projec t of approximate ly $1 million will be needed for additional improvements in handicapped standards in the areas of access doors, ramps, and sidewalk cuts. Thc initial phase of improvements for the handicapped began six years ago with some ramps, access doors, and sidewalk cuts , according to Parrish. "Of course, that phase wasn 't nearl y adequate to take care of growing campus needs for the handicapped ," he said. ¦ ¦ * «mmr«- ... . ¦• asBssaass-,- - *¦ ¦• ->¦ . ¦ ^ ¦ . ¦ . „.., - . 7 . .., .. - ¦ , ¦..

Men 's basketball team ready to challenge for PSAC crown by Lincoln Weiss Staff Writer Last year when thc Bloomsburg Huskies men 's basketball team lost in thc PSAC Eastern Division to Millersville , the thought was "wait until next year." Well next year is here and the Huskies seem ready to record their 22nd strai ght winning season and make another run at the plal yoffs. Thc team returns with almost all of last year 's team that struggled early, but came together nicel y to post a 17-11 overall record that included winning 11 of their List 14 games. "Last season , wc started witli a lot of pieces ofa good team ," said head coach Charlie Chronister. "I was very pleased with thc way wc came together and finished a.s a team." This year 's team boastsa solid team with skill at all positions. At center returns Alex Nelcha , the team 's top rcboundcr . Although Nelcha broke his foot during drills , hc is expected back by mid-January. To lake his spot until hc returns is Matt Wilson. Wilson provided good scoring ability and excellent rebounding skills off thc bench hist year and should play well as a starlcr in thc earl y part of the season. At forward positions will be Dave Carpenter and Dallas Wilson. Carpenter started many games as a freshman last year and displayed a solid game in bothscoring and rebounding. Wilson played off thc bench last year and showed improvenemt with each game. Hc can be an all around player. Steve Mclchoir and Kyle Miller provide the Huskies with a solid bench at forward. In the backcourt arc returning starters John Williams and Joe Stcpanski. Will iams became thc player everyone expected him to be last year. Hc can do it all , penetrate , rebound , shoot from the outside and most importantl y, play defense. Williams constantl y frustrated some of the conferences test guard s last year and came away with many key turnovers. Stcpanski is a proven team leader. He is the spark plug of this team. Hc can score points and is an excellent INDIVIDUAL TEAM REPORTS AND SEASON OUTLOOKS: KUTZTOWN - Mi ght very well be thc team to beat this year in thc PSAC.
