CGA Presidential candidates speak at debate by Bridget Sulliva n Staff Writer Candidates for Community Government Association executive positions delivered speeches to a large audience last night in the Kehr Union. Presidential candidates Dave "Pinhead" Gerlach and Kri s Rowe gave statements of their qualifications for CGA president, then received questions from the audience regarding pertinen t issues on campus. Kris Rowe Dave Gerlach Art studios move to bookstore by Nicole Matuella for The Voice Bloomsburg University 's art department studio has moved out of Old Science and is now located in a renovated section of the University Store building. The studio was forced to vacate Old Science Hall when renovations began in it last year.' Renovations to the present home for the art studio included new ceilings, floor tiles, new divisions to the store room and studio as well as the Lycoming-side entrance to the store. The construction crew started Dec.l , 1987 and were finished by Jan. 18, 1988, the first day of the spring semester. The studio will be open to all art students outside class time to complete their work, and will be used for graphics , painting and weaving classes.

A growing student body required a date the new art studio. After discussing town and university relations, condom availability on campus was introduced to the debate. Gerlach , who has worked with the CGA Executive Board , the Senate and Kehr Governing Board - organizations which endorse condoms availability to promote "safe sex" believes that condoms should not be dispensed at the Health Center because of cost. He said , "The problem is the administration 's view that condoms' availability on campus would promote promiscuity." store. Working conditions were slightly better for the Anglo-Saxon employees. Non-English speaking workers had been denied certificates which would give them better jobs, and the certificate exams were administered by the English speaking miners. Before 1897, the census reported an Anglo-Saxon population of 90 percent. By 1900, this percentage had decreased to 40. The dominant religion had also changed from Protestantism to Catholicism. Less jobs were reserved for the Anglo-Saxon natives of the area because immigrants would work for less money.According to Turner, all these facts lead to the inevitable clash between the mining companies and the immigrant miners. On Sep. 10, 1897, about 400 immigrant miners from Harwood marched down public highways in an attempt to reach other miners located in Lattimer, a mining community on the other side of Hazleton. When they reached the Hazleton limits, Sheriff Martin stopped the miners and told them to bypass the town to avoid trouble. The unarmed and peaceful miners did as they were instructed. According to Turner, Martin then took about 80 deputies, all of whom were employees of the mining company and of Anglo-Saxon descent, near Lattimer to confront the miners. Sheriff Martin and his deputies carried rifles and shotguns supplied by the coal companies in order to subdue a mob described as tumultuous and unlawful , Turner said. The massacre took place several miles from Lattimer. According to Turner's research, Sheriff Martin stood before the advancing miners and read a proclamation, in English, stating the 1860 Riot Act. The front of the line stopped and listened; although they probably did not understand what he said, they understood near the tennis courts on campus, and also near Centennial Gym. He admitted, however, that this did not solve the university 's parking problem. The idea of a fall break was also presented to the candidates. Rowe said that the "incident last semester" (referring to the Beta Sigma Delta Raid) occurred at a time of "high tension," and that the hardest thing to get through is the teachers' unwillingness to cancel classes. Gerlach , who said he had spoken previously with Dean Norton and Dr. Mulka about this issue, said that teachers are not unwilling to cancel classes. He added , "If we take a week off in October, it just means we would have to come back (from winter break) a week earlier." Ray Matty, James Rohrbach and Howard Lieberman, candidates for vice president , presented their qualifications for office as did Maria Makowski and Jim Shevclin for treasurer. prompted full cardiac and pulmonary arrest, the spokeswoman said. Her agent, David Wardlowe, said she had been rushed to the hospital after complaining of abdominal pain . Heather's parents, who live in Big Bear, Calif., but are also believed to have a home in San Diego, were too distraught to comment, Wardlowe said. What proved to be her final film will be released this summer, he added. Heather, also seen regularly on television 's "Happy Days," "Webster " and "Still the Beaver," brought two catch phrases into the language after Polterge ists I and If . The first was "They're heeeere!" which she screamed after coming into contact with strange forces while peering into an apparently blank TV screen. The second was "They're baaaack!" featured in the sequel. The "Poltergiest " films, first released in 1982, told of a mid-America family living an idyllic life in the suburbs, whose young daughter begins communing with creatures she sees on her television screen after regular programming ends and the screen has become only a series of eerie dots. Soon family pets begin to die and trees, blown by hurricane-force winds , come smashing into the home of the terrified Freeling family. Carol Ann is sucked into a light source coming from a closet and her helpless parents are left only with her screams. Finally the family turns to a parapsycholog ist to exorcise the demons. Heather came to films in a tradition that dates to Lana Turner , when that actress was supposedly (but wasn 't) discovered at a drugstore counter. Heather was 5 and silting in the MGM commissary, said her former manager , Mike Meyer. Steven Spielberg, who co-wrote and produced the first of the "Poltergeist " series saw her and asked if he could talk to her. He was told she didn 't talk to strangers. But she got permission to speak with Spielberg and that eventually led to her role in the film. Heather is the second actress from the "Poltergeist " movies to die at a young age. Domini que Dunne was strangled in October 1982. Miss Dunne, then 22, who played Heather's older sister, had tried to break off her relationship with her boyfriend. Los Angeles chef John Sweeney was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced in November 1983 to the maximum 6 years in prison. Heather "always looked like 'Alice in Wonderland' and could memorize a 60-page script in about an hour," Meyer said. "Of all the things she was proud of," he added , "it was being elected president of her fifth-grade class at Big Bear Elementary School." by Robert Cooke microsecond of starting time, or boiling eggs with nanosecond precision physicists are virtually obsessed with such ultra-precise measurements.

Times-Washington Post Service Heather O'Rourke, the terrified youngster sucked into a spectral vacuum by supernatural spirits in the "Poltergeist " films, died on an operating table at a San Diego hospital , it was reported Tuesday. The 12-ycar-old ingenue, who finished filming "Poltergeist III " last June in which she starred as the angelic Carol Ann Freeling for the third lime, died late Monday afternoon. A spokeswoman for Children 's Hospital of San Diego identified the cause of death as intestinal stenosis - a severe bowel obstruction that the girl evidentl y had from birth. The obstruction caused an infection that, in turn , brought on septic shock. The shock BU professor researches local massacre by Ted Sarnoski for The Voice A Bloomsburg University professor has been researching the obscure Lattimer Massacre in an attempt to formally document the incident. History professor George Turner became interested in the 1897 massacre when he read a book by John Higham entitled, "Strangers in the Land." The book mentioned incidents about the Hazleton-area massacre which had not appeared in any other publication known to him. The only reference the book quoted was an article in a contemporary newspaper account. When Turner began his research, he found that Higham's reference was of little help. He found a small pamphlet published in the 1950's, but said it did not have scholarly credibility. Turner investigated the papers of 19th-century Pennsylvania Governor Hastings. Written correspondence between Hastings and Luzerne County Sheriff James Martin, who was claimed to be responsible for the incident, gave Turner a substantial starting place. Turner relates the accounts that follow as "the most serious act of labor violence in Pennsylvania's history - and nationally one of the most devastating - in which public authorities were responsible for killing 19 people and wounding 38 immi grant coal miners." According to Turner 's research, work in the coal mines near Hazelton ceased in August, 1897, because miners - consisting mostly of immigrants - had become dissatisfied with the conditions. According to Turner, before the United Mine Workers union was formed, coal companies had complete control of their employees. Salaries were low, working conditions were abominable, and supplies were obtainable onl y through the company Rowe said that condoms should be accessible to students at the bookstore as a prevention of AIDS, and that she would try to work with the administration to that end. The BU parking problem was another issue raised at the debate. Rowe said that she hopes to get parking for students on Second, Third , and Fourth Streets. Rowe, who established a bus route from town to campus to ease parking congestion, said that the original bus route designed by the administration did not work. Consequently, she designed a new bus route that included Sesame, Warhurst, and Iron Streets. Rowe also said that she would work with the administration to repair the Centennial Gym parking lot, and possibly have the parking lot below Bloomsburg Hospital paved. Gerlach said he would try to get daytime parking available on Second, Third and Fourth Streets. He also pointed out that 49 additional spaces were made available Star keeps time L.A.

Quick bursts of radio noise from a twirling neutron star are giving scientists a natural timepiece that rivals the accuracy of the best clocks invented by humans. By focusing a huge radio telescope on a pulsar named "1937+21," physicists found that the pulsing signals are so stable, so regular, that they won't vary by more than one second in a million years. Soon, using improved detecting equipment, they expect even more accurate timing. The best man-made clocks, based on the steady vibration of atoms such as cesium or rubidium , achieve about the same timing stability, which may soon also be improved, according to physicist David W. Allan at the National Bureau of Standards, in Boulder, Colo. Only the exotic hydrogen-maser clocks used in astronomy experiments achieve more precise timingj but these can onl y be used for brief periods of time before stability deteriorates. While most people aren't concerned about such accuracy - few of us fret over getting to work within a Index | BU studentsare busted at Eg Hess' Tavern on Main Street.

Page 8 Commentary Features Comics Sports page 2 page 4 page 6 page 7 Commentary Local versus national Administration is partial To the Editor, Does any Administration official at Bloomsburg University have the right to promote one group of organizations over another? Stated more specifically, does any Administration offi cial have the right to promote national and international fraternities or sororities at the expense of local fraternities and sororities? Lori Barsness, the Greek coordinator of BU, and other higher ups, believe that they do. Apparently, the Gamma Epsilon Omicron fraternity and the Chi Theta Pi sorority will be the last 'locals' to be added to the roster of the Greek community. Two questions arise out of this administrative policy. One is "Wh y is this unwritten rule of the Administration being carried out clandestinely?", and "Why is the Administration activel y promoting the 'nationals' over the 'locals' ?" The first question is obvious to all concerned parties. If people know about an unpopular policy affecting them , they will call for an end to that policy. This will inevitably 'upset' the Administration , in which case they would most probably engage in a face-saving maneuver such as the creation of a committee to resolve the 'lack of communication' between the differing parties. This is what happened during the Fall 1987 semester with the Greek community over the anti-hazing pol- icy espoused by the Administration. This policy, which took Draconian meassures against hazing and which went far beyond the dictates of the state anti-hazing law, was in fact , rammed down the Greeks ' throats. It was later partially repealed due to the tremendous Greek outcry of 'FOUL' and the subsequent 'face-saving ' meetings which the Administration was forced , by popular demand , to partici pate in. The second question, which can be divided into two parts, may not be as obvious to the non-Greek and to the uninformed Greeks as well. The firswt part, which is fairly easy to comprehend , is that the 'nationals' are easier to control than the 'locals'. To maintain chapter status within national fraternities and sororities , these chapters must participate in the existing administrative body which oversees and regulates their behavior (the Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority Council are just such bodies).That means if the AB chapter of the XYZ fraternity decided to secede from the IFC due to a conflict of interst, that Chapter would no longer be a chapter in the eyes of the XYZ national fraternity . This means that whatever the Administration wants the IFC to do, the fraternities would have to comply, or else lose their charters from their national fraternities. The second part is that the Administration , apparentl y with Lori Barsness support, is attempting to 'pack' the IFC and ISC councils with 'nationals'. Over the years, the representation of 'locals' has been ordered in favor of the 'nationals'. With the inevitable addition of Theta Chi to the IFC and the suspension of Beta Sigma Delta, there will be a stalemate between the 'nationals' and the 'locals' on the IFC. This shift by the Administration to 'forced nationalism ' in the Greek community raises a point though. Both Delta Pi and Phi Sigma Xi dropped out of their national fraternities to once again become locals. Does this mean if , say, ZctaPsi dropped out of their national fraternity and became Pi Kappa once again , that they would be denied their right to sit on the IFC Council? The Greek community would not tolerate this affront to our rights as sovereign social organizations. One must remember that we Greeks, the label of being a 'local' or a 'national' has no bearing. Only the Administration has made the difference seem of the utmost importance. If people hav4e the ability to form a fraternity or sorority and wish to 'go the local option', they have the right to do so. This University is here for the students, not for the Administration!

Concerned Students Thoughts of a true snow hater To the Editor Why does it seem that no one in Bloomsburg know the proper procedure for snow removal? Everytime we get snow, the situation seems to get worse. On campus, they clear half of the snow away and leave the other half to freeze and refreeze again and again, |HHH|BBISWI|5M8MP causing students to slip and slide - and I^HBHBI^HBtelflMrtlSiaiMMSa^gfcmHBMMBsil^&Mm!^ fall - all the way to class and back. Off-campus, hardly anyone shovels their sidewalks, most of the sides street are left untouched , and most landlords don 't bother to have the snow removed from parking lots. For some reason this town just allows the snow to lay and waits for nature to remove it. That is fine is everyone could stay indoors until the big thaw in the spring, but we all know that's not even a possibility. I don 't know what I expect to be done about this, I just know we are in or more snow and I'm tired of slipping, sliding, and falling just because people are too lazy or too ignorant to remove snow! A snow hater ffi^j^^i^^frffii^ Jl.fl^^jSiSr^S!^^^^^^M f A glance at the Campain Trail , 88 byPaulMellon StaffColumnist Well, it 's the start of a new year and that means Campaign '88 is about to take off. I can tell this partly due to the fac t that many people I talk to are beginning to ask me questions like, "Who do you think will be the next president?" or "Who is running for President?" At first I fel t this was due to their intense political interest in America and a fascination with the fact that in litde less than one year the peaceful transition of power will take place in the most powerful nation on Earth . Unfortunately, I usually find out people want to know because they have a paper due on the subject of who the presidential candidates are.Whatever the reason, presidential politics are here, and for the next nine months the American public will feel the blitz of the campaigns. I'd like to start the campaign season by saying something about who I feel are the major players in this year's election. For the Republicans, the race for the nomination is presendy dominated by two front runners, George Bush and Robert Dole. They are the front runners largely due to who they are, Bush is Vice President, and Dole is Senate Minority Leader. Bush is still considered the party favorite and, I feel, with good reason. He has extensive experience in government having served in Congress, as an ambassador, and Director of the CIA - not to mention eight years as vice president. On the issues, Bush supports the freedom fighters in Nicarauga. He supports a strong defense as well as the Strategic Defense Initiative. On the economy, Bush has stated he will not raise taxes. He supports education and will continue the same politics of the Reagan Administration , which has given us the lowest unemployment rate in 10 years and the longest economic recovery and expansion since World War II. Maybe it is because Bush is so solid on the issues that people have called him a "wimp". George Bush served his nation as a fighter pilot in Korea and risked his life when he was shot down and rescued from the icy waters of the Pacific . When one reporter asked Bush if he was indeed a "wimp", Bush asked the reporter if he ever had to watch his own son die. The reported said, "No, thank God." Bush replied, "Well, I did, for more than six months." He was referring to one of his children who died of cancer. No, one thing George Bush definately is not, is a wimp. Turning to Senator Dole, he is a man who has served Reagan well. Firstas Majority Leader of the Senate, and now as Minority Leader, he is a man of sharp wit and knows how to negotiate and maneuver politics. Because of his name recognition, (he has run for president before), Dole is a front runner. However, when it comes to the issues, the only way to describe Dole is "vague." You simply can 't nail him down as to what he supports. A classic example was the INF treaty with the Soviets. At first , Dole said he was skeptical about the treaty (as are many Republicans) because the treaty seems to grant the Soviets a huge advantage in conventional warfare in Europe. Then , a few days later, the White House held a big ceremony and Dole announced that he whole-heartedl y supports the treaty. If he is to land in the White House, Bob Dole must show he can make decisions and offer concrete proposals on the issues. So far he has done neither. The rest of the players for the Republicans are Al Haig, Pat Robertson, Pete Du Pont and Jack Kemp. Jack Kemp, who is a congressman as well as former pro football player, was once considered a strong contender. However, for a variety of reasons, his campaign has yet to take off and challenge anyone. On the issues Kemp is loud, strong and direct. He is one of the original backers of supplyside economics, the engine of our current economic success. He is totally committed to S.D.I., strong defense, anti-Communism and is has realistic approach with the Soviets. He needs a national forum to get himself exposure. In the same vein as Kemp is Pete Du Pont. The former governor of Delaware is rapidl y making a name for himself by being aggressive on the issues. He supports mostly what Kemp does but has some very innovative ideason social security and drugs. But for now Du Pont is a darkhorse. Still, we will hear from him again in 1992 or farther in the future. Unfortunately, because space is limited, I won 't have the opportunity to cover the Democrats in depth. But that's okay because I don 't believe there is too much to say anyway. The poor Democrats have basically got more problems than they can handle. Problem number one is that Democrats are referred to routinely as the Seven Dwarfs, the last of the seven know as Sleazy. In fact, the latest Gallup Poll showed "undecided" as the second favorite pick of voters. The leader, by the way, was Sleazy - Gary Hart. From what I've seen so far , all seven Democrats seem like clones. They all hate Ronald Reagan, favor the dismantling of our nation's defense, have no comprehension of S.D.I, or its cost, are dying to raise taxes and, in general, wrench the economy. However, there will be further articles to deal with exactly why the Democrats are so confused and doomed to failure in November. Just remember, it is not wrong to support a candidate for president just becausesomeone else says they are no good (even if he is a Democrat). The important thing to know is why you support a candidate, and to do that you need to learn the facts about that person and others running for president. All you need to do is read the newspaper and you will get most of the information you need. To be an informed, voting citizen is something we owe not only to ourselves, but to our nation.

Unrest in Alabama Gunman takes hostages by David Treadwell |( A gunman who reportedly has a history of mental illness demanded to speak with President Reagan, Alabama Gov. Guy Hunt and Tuscaloosa Mayor Al DuPont in an effort to aid the homeless,was taken into custody, and 26 children and a teacher whom he held hostage at a private Baptist elementary school were released Tuesday night , police told the children's parents. Officers wresded the gunman to the concrete outside the door of the elementary school building at the West End Christian School, where about 85 children had been taken hostage Tuesday morning.All but 26 of thepupils and one teacher had been released earlier. "Please don 't hurt me," said the gunman, identified by police as James L. Harvey of San Antonio , Texas. The children walked out single file and their parents burst into cheers in a nearby gym when told they were safe. Two gunmen, one white and one black ,had donned ski masks and entered the school about 8:40 a.m. Authorities said the pair apparently seized the students and two teachers solely in an attempt to protest alleged government neglect of the nation's homeless and hungry. At midday the black gunman , who was not identified , surrendered and was taken into custody.About an hour later the whitegunman, Harvey , a Vietnam War veteran with a history of mental illness, released 40 of the children. Then, about 3:30 p.m., he released nine of the remaining hostage pupils in exchange for a chance to talk with an Associated Press reporter. J A / I) L.A.

The Mustang's immense sales spawned imitators from rival manufacturers, such as the Pontiac Firebird and Chevy Camaro. Three years later, Chrysler got into the act with Dodge's Challenger and the newl y restyled Plymouth Barracuda. Though these cars were produced by different companies , they all shared some common design elements. Their long hoods and short rear decks gave them an aggressive and balanced look. The fact that this wasn't a very efficient design didn 't seem to matter to the public because they were snapped up as fast as they were built, especially the early Mustangs. April 17, 1964 was the day the original ponycar was introduced , proving to be one of the best-selling cars ever made. Ford had hoped to sell 100,000 Mustangs over an extended model year that ran from the April 1964 introduction to the fall of 1965, but the incredible demand pushed production up to 559,451 for the first year. This astounding popularity was partly because of the Mustang 's sporty looks, even the base model was equipped with bucket seats and a floor-mounted shifter. The Mustang's long option list allowed buyers to order a car that was suited cxacUy-to their tastes. Grandma could order one with a six-cylinder and all the power options neededto drive to the grocery store in style while the speed seeker could get a GT model with the 271 -hp. High Performance 289. These staggering sales worried those in charge at General Motors. Without a sporty auto in- the Mustang 's price range, GM would soon be out in the cold if they didn 't develop their own ponycar. Their answer came in the form of the Pontiac Firebird and Chevy Camaro, both introduced in 1967. Even though these cars sold well in their first year, 220,917 for Camaro and over 80,000 for Firebird , the combined production was still some 171,000 less than Mustang alone for the same year. Although the Mustang outperformed the GM ponycars in the showroom it ate their dust on the street. The 320 hp. 390 engine available in the 1967 Mustang paled in comparison to the Ram Air IV powerplant of the Firebird 400 and the Camaro's 375 hp. 396. siasts a chance to drive away m some of the best looking and performing cars of the musclecar era. These , introduced in 1970, were the new Dodge Challenger and the restyled Plymouth Barracuda. The Challanger and Barracuda also came with an impressive list of optional engines ranging from the highrevving 340 small block to the 426 Hcmi equipped with two four-barrel carburetors. Rated at 425 hp., the Hemi was one of the most powerful ^ built. production motors ever This level of power matched the aggressive image these cars projected with their prominent "shaker" hood scoops, bright colors and bold performance graphics.

I was waiting for an excuse to take some time off from my busy schedule and go see Ruth. So when Lynne Ernst asked me to write a story on Ruth , I grabbed at the chance. Photo by Ben Garrison I NutraSweet develop s new sugar substitute by Jodie Allen L.A. Times-Washingwn Post Service In one of the great understatements of modern journalism, the business pages of The New York Times reported last week that "Analysts have said that food companies with fat substitutes that can reduce both the calorie and cholesterol count of such foods as french fries and ice cream and still please consumers' palates stand to develop large markets for their products." Stand to develop large markets? How about stand to produce pandemonium in the supermarket aisles? For who among us is so effordessl y slender, so ascetic in taste that the thought ofa calorie-less, palate-pleasing hot-fudge sundae would not arouse the most deeply-sublimated desire to gorge? Clearly the only thing standing between the NutraSweet Co. - the developer of Simplesse, the aforementioned fat substitute (and Proctor and Gamble, which has its own variant dubbed Olestra) - and riches beyond its wildest dreams is approval from the Food and Drug Administration. P&G has already submitted its invention, a synthetic molecule that passes through the body unchanged, for FDA approval. But NutraSweet alleges that its product , which is a protein digested like all other proteins, doesn 't need FDA approval because it is a food , not a drug - a judgment not yet concurred in by the regulatory agency. This is not a judgment that FDA should rush to. At risk are issues far more abstruse than the measuring of chemical hazards and the weighing of nutritional risks and benefits. We are dealing here with the most fundamental questions of vice and virtue, of human bondage to the temptations of the flesh. Anyone who has ever tasted a low-calorie cupcake, or low-cholesterol lasagna will attest that what was lacking, what made the item so straight-out godawful, was not the absence of real sugar but the absence of fat. Margarine isn 't butter, and neither is sunflower oil. But in a pinch they will do. What won 't do is no fattasting substance at all. And that is why the invention of Simplesse (or Olestra or whatever) is so momentous an event on the moral landscape. It opens up entire new horizons of guilt-free indulgence. AIDS may have vanquished free sex, but who, in their hearts of hearts, ever really believed it was a free ride anyway? Now, at last, the possibility of retributionless indulgence is in sight. But , mark my words, there will be consequences. Big ones. I don'tmean an inevitable downturn in the economic fortunes of fat farms, spas and exercise salons. Other industries of far more consequence to investors and workers have died on the altar of consumer choice. What should give the FDA pause - or, at least, prompt it to seek the highest counsel before rushing to approval - is this: When gluttony has lost its sting, what vice will replace it? The importance of this question was first brought home to me by a colleague, Robert Pugh, now a professor of decision sciences at George Mason University, who was the first, as far as I know, to articulate the theory of the individual quotient of vice (IVQ). Pugh , at the time, had recendy given up smoking, a vice to which he had been happily addicted. He observed, true scientist that he was and is, that within the space of a few weeks he had not only gained the obligatory additional pounds but , willy-nilly, has also stepped up his drinking of coffee to the point that it consumed almost the same portion of his waking hours that smoking had previously consumed. Happily my friend is a man of moderate temperament so that his abandonment of the joys of the weed did not translate into an increase in more anti-social forms of behavior such as wife-beating, philandering or the abuse of controlled substances. But, as a matter of intellectual interest and to provide empirical underpinnings for his theory, we undertook a quick survey of people we had known or read about who had curbed one or another form of over-indulgence. Our researches confirmed , well within the scientifically acceptable margins of error, just what Pugh had conjectured: Each and everyone of them had, sooner or later, substituted one or more new vices which, if weighted on a scale of seriousness of consequence that seemed to us sensible, offset the vice abandoned. Each individual , of course, is born with his or her own distinctive I VQ. And substitution weights may vary among individuals as well (one person may, for example, have to substitute far larger quantities of alcohol or hot So now you see the enormity of the decision that has been thrust upon the FDA - an agency more habituated to the fine measurement of chemical and physical effects than to the weighing of ethical and social consequences. If the temptations of fat in all its manifestations - from bacon-cheeseburgers to Sachertorte - is no longer available to sate the human craving for sin and retribution , what ghastly indulgence of the flesh or spirit will arise to replace it?

When ornithologists are mutually attracted Celtics have some curious theories about playing time By Peter May The LA Times-Washington Post When Coach K.C. Jones sent Dennis Johnson back into the game Sunday, with Boston leading by 19 and less than seven minutes to go, the move did not exactl y qualif y as a stunning development. Not in Boston, anyway. Jones felt that the game was still up for grabs, so he went with his best. That game against Philadel phia provided yet another illustration of why the Celtics are differen t from virtually every other team in the league in their use of personnel. In terms of scoring, no team relies more on its starters - and less on its bench. The Sixers never got closer than 10 points in the final 24 minutes. And yet, Jones kept four of his starters on the floor most of the fourth quarter, saving onl y Robert Parish. Larry Bird played 42 minutes, Kevin McHale 40 and Danny Ainge 39 in a game that could easily be described as a rout despite the final 15-pointspread(100 85). The 40-minute stints by McHale and Bird marked the 72nd and 73rd time in 43 games that a Celtic has played 40 or more minutes. Bird has played 40 or more minutes on 23 occasions, including one stretch of nine strai ght games. Boston is 18-5 in games in which Bird has logged at least 40 minutes. Five others have played 40 or more minutes at least three times. On the other hand, opposing coaches have used a player 40 minutes or more against the Celtics on 36 occasions. Jones' policy of relying heavily on his starters is based on the Celtics' long-standing adherence to the Future Is Now Theory. They have had pretty impressive results with that policy. The Celtics are 31-12. They are starting to put some distance between themselves and Detroit and Atlanta in the East. "It's very important to us that we have the best record," Danny Ainge said. "I think that 's the reason we got by Milwaukee and Detroit last year in the playoffs." Los Angeles Lakers Coach Pat Riley has been saying for weeks that he wants the best record, too, given the Lakers' success at home. Riley has squeezed out 59 games of 40 or more minutes from his players this season . The Hawks and Pistons have good reason for wanting to catch Boston in the East, for they have had success at home against the Celtics. Both teams arc at least eight deep, yet neither approaches Boston in 40-minute games by their players. For instance, there have been just 37 games in which a Piston has gone 40 minutes. By playing the starters so much, the Celtics obviously are giving fewer minutes to their reserves. As a result, the Celtics' bench has had some, well, curious games this season. Just four times in 43 games has someone off the bench scored at least 15 points. That 's counting McHale's 22-point performance in his first game back this season. Of the four games, three were blowouts. Not surprisingly, the Celtics' opponents have had more success off the bench. On 25 occasions this season, an opponent 's reserve has scored 15 or more points. Vinnie Johnson has done it all three times the Pistons have played the Celtics. It's hard to fault the Boston bench for not scoring. The only real scoring threat the Celtics have off the bench is Regg ie Lewis. And he rarely plays. Darren Daye's big moments have come as a starter. He had games of 27, 27 and 26 points as a starter; as a sub, his best has been 13. Brad Lohaus has hit double figures three times, twice in garbage situations. Part of the problem is the rotation. Ten different players have been the first off the bench this season. Mark Acres is the runaway leader in that category with 16 "first sub" appearances. The Celtics are different They differ from most teams in how they play and how they win. And as long as the victories keep coming, don't expect a lot of changes. By Sandy Keenan LA Times-Washington Post There is a big difference between making the three-point shot and defensing it. As St. John 's Coach Lou Carnesecca was so fond of repeating last season, "If you live by the threepoint shot, you may die by it." Obviously, St. John 's has done neither. The team has scored a Big East Conference-low 21 points from beyond the three-point line while allowing opponents only 60 against irom that range - also a league low. "The three-pointer is not as much an issue with them ," said Connecticut Coach Jim Calhoun. "They negate it. It 's like they 're saying, 'I won 't take it , but you can 't either.' " It 's hard to say for sure, but one reason for the Redmen 's success against the three-pointer could be that they play man-to-man defense so well. St. John 's is holding opposing teams to 30.3 percent shooting from long range, but until recently that number was as low as 24 percent. "That's an amazing stat, the stat of the year," Calhoun said. "Look around the country. Nobody is doing that." Not Georgetown , certainly. The Hoyas are the big loser in this comparison ranking _ last in shooting and last in defending against the threepointer. Should Carnesecca change his mind about shooting the threepointer , he need look no farther than his own campus to find someone who can hit it consistently. St. John 's has a 5-8 point guard who is hitting a league-high 62.5 percent of three-point attempts _ 20 for 32. Where is the player hiding, you ask? Her name is Lisa Smith, and she plays for the St. John 's women 's team , more appropriately known as the Express. It 's never loo soon to start predicting Freshman of the Year. The big publicity favorite would have to be Pitt 's Sean Miller, the starting point guard who has had a very smooth transition from high school ball. Miller will get lots of competition from his teammates, guard Jason Matthews and forward Bobby Martin. Anthony Tucker was the preseason coaches' pick , but with Georgetown's .500 record , forget it. Then there's Eric Murdock, the plucky backup point guard at Providence who scored seven of the Friars' 13 points in overtime to beat Villanova recendy. "This one came from the heart," he said. "If we hadn 't stuck together, we would' ve lost by 40." Murdock had 17 points, four steals, seven assists and five rebounds against Villanova. utes earlier) rushed onto the court to embrace the embattled Friars. Villanova Coach Rollie Massimino took time out of the post-game interview to chastise the press and the fans. "It's a disgrace," he said of the boobirds. "They sure were cheering when they came back. Gordie's a good young coach with a good young team. He deserves a chance to build his program. I wish you would get off Gordie Chiesa's back." "No one knows better than coaches," said an appreciative Chiesa. St. John 's lives by killing the three-pointer Olympic sports; The U.S. questions 'amateur * status There is nity for those players." another point , too. During last summer's Pan American Games in Indianapolis , after a loss to Brazil in the gold-medal game, some U.S. basketball officials considered maybe it was time to allow NBA players on the U.S. team. That consideration ignored the fact that the United States was a clearly superior team , upset in part because its college stars repeatedly ignored the coaching advice of Denny Crum and failed to play together. If players are too self-centered to pass the ball, what will NBA players do on this level? By John Jeansonne LA Times-Washington Post To make a short story long: There are plenty of reasons the United States cast a dissenting vote Monday on the International Amateur Basketball Federation 's 18-4 decision to open'the 1992 Olympics to professionals. For one thing, the Amateur Basketball Association of the United States has a precedent to fall back on. Though the international hockey federation has opened its doors to all pros for this month 's Calgary Games, the amateur hockey ruling body in the United States has refused to use established players from the National Hockey League. Partly, that's because the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States wanted, stability. It wanted to select its players six months before the Olympics and run a "season" of practices and games. It didn 't want a hastily patched together all-star team of individuals. It didn 't want stars from the NHL suddenly showing up on its doorstep two weeks before the Olympics and demanding a spot on the team. The Amateur Hockey Association of the United States didn 't want the headaches of being, in effect , a minorleague farm system, susceptible to call-ups from the parent club or hassles over contract and injury considerations. Furthermore, the association was convinced that "amateurs" - well, they're not really amateurs, of course, because they're allowed to sign their NHL contracts and still play in the Olympics, and a couple indeed have been NHL benchwarmers in the past are more popular with the American public than NHL heroes."The American public," said Art Berglund, general manager of the 1988 U.S. Olympic hockey team , "is not going to donate to the Olympic fund if these guys are making a million dollars." Anyway, hockey's open Olympic door is not really open, because the NH L has the last say in which players it will release to the various national Olympic teams. Though most NHL players are Canadians, and there is sentiment to have a strong Canadian Olympic team because the 88 Games are being held in Canada, there are Swedes and Finns and Americans in the league, too, and the league has said that the best 10 players on each NHL roster can 't take an Olympic sabbatical. Some players may appreciate such an arbitrary ruling - it takes the pressure off such national celebrities as Wayne Gretzky not to have to prove his patriotism - others may not. Because, simply, the choice is out of their hands. The Amateur Basketball Association of the United States has considered all of this, though none of its officials was available for comment Tuesday. Executive Director Bill Wall was still at the International Amateur Basketball Federation meetings in Frankfurt,West Germany, and his office said it didn 't know how to reach him. Amateur Basketball Association of the United States President Brice Durbin refused to comment. This isn 't, as usual, a discussion of amateur-professional considerations. The IOC in recent years has come to realize that the lines between amateur and pro are too fuzzy; for instance, a full-scholarship college basketball player doesn't fit a lot of people's definition of "amateur." "The definition of 'amateur' has come to mean something very weak in our society," Berglund said. "You say, 'Gosh, he took an amateur shot,' and that means it wasn't good. Let's call 'em 'elite' athletes." "I considered myself a professional,"said IOC representativeAnita DeFrantz of Los Angeles, a 1976 Olympic rowing medalist, "even though I didn 't make a penny. In fact , I had to spend money to be a rower, but I was a professional, in my mind , because I did whatever was necessary to be the best I possibly could be at rowing." This isn't even a discussion of Olympic opportunity, which U.S. Olympic Committee President Robert Helmick likes to use as a guideline in these matters. Helmick believes that "ultimately, you 'll see everyone eligible for the Olympics. But having NBA players in the Olympics isn't necessary to create opportu- Bloomsburg University freshman Nina Alston, Wayne, has been named the Eastern College Athletic Conference's (ECAC) women's basketball "Rookie of the Week" for her performances in the Huskies' two victories last week. Alston, a 5'5" guard, led the team to wins over Pennsylvania Conference (PC) Eastern • Division opponents West Chester and Mansfield by scores of 77-59 and 92-55, respectively. In the West Chester contest, she scored 21 points, including 17 of the squad's first 22 points in the game, as Bloomsburg took an early advantage and coasted to the win. She was 10 of 15 from the field , making one of two attempts from three-point range. In addition, the first-year player had five rebounds, four assists and three steals. \ \ Alston capped the week with an 18point performance in the unit's 92-55 triumph at Mansfield . She shot six of 10 from the floor and made all three shots she attempted from three-point B / range, and was one of two at the free throw line. She was also credited with two rebounds, four assists and five steals. . In the two games, she shot 64 percent from the field and made four of #/ five three-point attempts and all three foul shots she attempted to score 39 |( l\ f l points. II The two victories raised the Huskies' season mark to 13-5 and 3-1 in the PC Eastern Division. J ~~ Rookie head coach Gordon Chiesa has been plagued by boos at Providence. During the team's recent fivegame losing streak, he was hissed three times at home, before Georgetown , Miami and , Saturday night, before Villanova. When the Friars trailed the Wildcats by 18 at the half, the whole squad was booed . But the criticism halted when Providence rallied to beat Villanova, 82-76, in overtime.

After losing to Georgetown , 60-59, Connecticut's Calhoun, referring to a number of subjective calls in the final two minutes, said, "The worst thing you can do is go back to your house and play the videotape.

Nelcha , who in recent games has struggled with his overall play, played as well as the Alex Nelcha of last year and he expects to continue to improve his game as the playoff season approaches. "Well , what happened was dial there was something in my mind ," explains Nelcha , "I had a meeting with Coach Chronistcr and lie told mc I have to work on my own." "I hurt my foot und I didn 't play for three months ," commented Nelcha in reference to his foot that was broken in the fi rst day of drills. The. injury sidelined the junior forward from Caracas , Venezuela for all of the preseason and the first half of the season. "1 feel pretty good , I' m out of shape but I can work out of that. 1 hope I play this well for good now ," concluded Nelcha. Another encourag ing performance was turned in by Kevin Reynolds. Reynolds , who has been play ing the point guard position the last few games, engineered the offense well and hit four three pointers for his 12 points. „ The game was a very slow gam e witii no team trul y dominating. The Huskies slowly built a ten point lead with the scoring of Kevin Reynolds and Craig Phillips and held it for most ofthc firsthalf. Bloomsburg took a 14 point lead into the locker room 43-29. The Huskies opened up the second half with a 10-4 run with strong play by Matt Wilson and Craig Phillips , and took a 53-33 lead with 16 minutes to play in the game. The Warriors attempted a comeback by scoring the next four points to cut the lead to 16, but Alex Nelcha then dominated along the offensive boards to score the next six points and the Huskies pulled away for the Warriors and eventually won 84-66. Nelcha led the team in scoring with 15 points while Craig Philli ps and Kevin Reynolds each scored 12 points. Jonathan Roberts paced East Stroudsburg in the losing cause with 20 points.

Says Bloomsburg coach Charlie Chronistcr on the Wolves, "They get in alot of hi gh scoring games. You have got to play some defense on tiicm. I just hope Green doesn 't score 50 points." The game can be heard on WHLM FM radio starting at 7:30PM. The next home game for the Huskies will be ill is coming Monday as dicy host the Eastern Division leading and defending PSAC Champ ion Millersville Marauders . That contest begins at 8:00PM.

Bressi felt that his team had to run the ball to beat the Warriors, "We're a reall y good fast-breaking team, we can get the ball and go with it." Last night also marked the return of Becky Pigga, who missed the last five games due to injury. Bressi said that Pigga "was very affective tonight. We saw her moving and running the offense. She made some good crisp passes and was moving the ball around the outside well. We got her in forabout 12 minutes which is what we wanted for her first night back." Lorenzi finished with 27 to lead the Huskies, but the story last night was Karen DcLullo. DeLullo had six points, a rebound and garnered two steals. Her numbers weren 't impressive but her presence on the court was. Bressi said, S he played a good game, she was everywhere. She's always in the game."

Mike Fceley, reporter for the Press Enterprise, about women in sports. Today is the day female adiletes will be recognized for their hard work. Congress has appointed Feb. 4 as "Women in Sports Day." Female athletes everywhere are training just as hard , just as intensely as male athletes and now they arc being recognized for it. "We want to promote women 's sports in a positive way ," says Jim Hollister, BU sports information director. Jim staled that they did not want to take away from men ' s programs, but to bring women 's programs up to that level. "We want to give opportunities to those who didn 't have them before," he says. Jim believes that Bu is striving towards growth and equal opportunity for women 's sports. He feels that the programs have improved tremendously and that "there are more good athletes everywhere, more resources are provided for them , and there is more interest from the outside." Jim states that in the past women were looked at in a different light. Now it 's a more accepted "thing to do," says Jim , "10 years ago it wasn't something to do, you didn 't go to watch women's sports." He says that football will always get a lot of coverage, "we're in a small town, we're one of the main attractions." He doesn't want to change the attitudes that dcvclopd long ago about male and female sports, but he docs want people to come and see both male and female athletics. He believes there's probably more interest in men 's sports because of longevity—they 've been around longer. "Some sports just aren 't spectatortype sports," he says, "like men 's swimming and cross country." He believes that interest in women's sports is growing, but "if 100 people came to a field hockey game that would be great, but if 100 people came to a football gam.; that would be a real problem." He believes that despite oroblerhs of attitudes in the past women s sports are really growing. A spokesperson for "Women in Sports Day" slated that, "It was fortunate that our administration was willing to support this type of publicity—it is well deserved for the women athletes." BU is celebrating this day through public recognition of its female adiletes. On Route 487 there is a billboard supporting BU women 's athletics. On Channel 22 there is a scries of commercials, a video which highli ghts women 's athletics al BU that will run through today. Channel 16 will also air interviews today with BU coaches, including Jan Hutchinson, head coach of softball and field hockey. The purpose of these interviews was to "see where we've been and where we're going," stated the spokesperson. The local radio stations are also carrying advertising for women in sports. Internally, BU has been given a second training position as well as a graduate assistant to help with coverage of women's programs. although this coverage is not limited to women 's sports. Since the 1970's the number of women's athletic programs at BU has doubled . The women now have bigger schedules and more money for recruitment. In the last 10 years BU women have won over 50 PSAC titles and 14 national titles. "We've made some tremendous strides here at BU," states an advocate of women's sports, "and all of these teams are competitive at the state level, and extremely competitive at the national level." Jim Hollister describes an athlete as someone who's aware of capabilities and plays within those capabilities." "Women in Sports Day"is a day of recognition for those abilities and for how women 's sports have progressed in this country. States another spokesperson for women athletes, "The best is yet to come.

Bowling club takes championship with undefeated season Bloomsburg University 's Mens Bowling Club continued their winning ways this past weekend by capturing four more victories in Lancaster. These viclorics were special because tiiey led ihc team to the conference championshi p and an undefeated season. The men were unsure of their chances before the matches as they had just lost two key bowlers; Jim Hurst and the injured MikeEstes. The replacements, Jon Marks and Alex Arnwinc, were veterans of last year's matches. Their experience was the stabilizing factor that the Huskies needed. Bloomsburg started on the road to victory by first defeating Gallaudet University by a score of 19-0 (one point for each individual match, one point for total pins, and one point for grand total in three games). Convincing performances were turned in by senior Frank Cccconi (651) and Tony Dunn (618). The Huskies next opponent was third place Shippensburg University. After a shakey start which put the men down 1-5 after the first game, the clutch bowlers rallied to tie the match at 91/2-91/2 , with the help of Jon Marks (618) and Dary l Sowers (597). Bloomsburg then went on to win the pressure filled one game tie breaker by a score of 216-192. It was a team win for the Huskies. The next day, Bloom faced the always toug h Salisbury State College in die last regular season match. However, not even Salisbury could stop the Huskies as they won 12-7. The efforts of Alex Arnwine (201, 200), Frank Cecconi (225, 211,202), and Jon Marks (253,211, 222) insured the victory. This victory locked up an undefeated regular season at 13-0. However, the men still had a position round to bowl. In the position round , first place Bloomsburg University was pitted against second place and nationally ranked Penn State. The Huskies had defeated Penn State earlier in the season and now sought to repeat their performance while Penn State needed a win to keep their hopes for a conference championship alive. The battle was hard fought from the start. The score was 4-2 after the first game, which included senior Tony enced bowlers coming back this season who were hungry for a championship. This past weekend we proved to ourselves that we have the ability to win. Winning the conference will give us added confidence, providing the edge we need in the sectional tournament." Dunn shooting a 223 in a losing effort. Bloomsburg then took control of the match going up 8-4 after the second game. Finally, with strong games from seniors Daryl Sowers (231, 200) and Frank Cecconi (653), the Huskies won the match by a score of 12-7. Men 's player/coach Daryl Sowers was more than satisfied with both the victories and the conference championship. "Our success was due to a strong team effort," said Sowers.
