Frats offe r party alternative by Jeff Smith for The Voice Because of recent Pennsylvania State Police raids on Bloomsburg University fraternity houses, two fraternities will host non-alcoholic partics this weekend. Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), an international fraternity, will host a free dance party at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 at 618 E. Fourth St. The campus radio station , WBUQ 91.1 FM, will broadcast from the site. TKE President Mark Beudoin said, "Wc are taking positive steps to adapt to the strict enforcement of the laws pertaining to alcohol." Lambda Chi Alpha (LXA), also an international fraternity, will host a similar party featuring the band TropX at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 at 980 Main St. LXA Social Chairman Todd Kitchen said, "Everyone is invited to come down - admission is one dollar." He added that the party would prove people can have a good time without alcohol. Two university administrators who work closely with the Greek organizations on campus approve of these parties and think they are a step in the right direction. "I am really pleased with this decision," said Dr. Jerrold Grifiis, vice president for Student Life. "These fraternities have responded to the situation, and I would encourage other groups to follow this lead and take a new look at this idea (non-alcoholic party)." Robert Norton , assistant vice president and dean of Student Life, said, "I appreciate the initiative they (TKE and LXA) have taken in addressing the problem of alcohol abuse and underage drinking on our campus." He added that he hopes other organizations consider the idea. LXA President Mike Bryan believes the strict enforcement of drinking laws by state police recently has made an impression on his fraternity . "The law has become a reality to us, and by having this party, we want to convey to the campus that you don 't need alcohol at a social function." On campus, skeptical students believe that non-alcoholic parties will Future CGA officers consider BU issues by Kelly Cuthbert f o r The Voice Newly elected Community Government Association officers are already considering major issues such as fall break, condoms and parking. CGA President-elect Dave Gerlach, who will oversee all actions and decisions concerning these issues, said that CGA is considering an October four-day weekend, but is concerned about affecting the Scranton Commons' schedule. Gerlach said CGA is gathering information about condoms and gauging the reactions of universities that sell condoms. "CGA is looking for the best plan of action," he said. Discussing university parking policies, Gerlach said he wants to secure daytime parking for students on Second, Third, and Fourth Streets, which are usually crowded with commuter and town resident cars. Concerning BU's alcohol policy, he said, "The administration is not against students, but trying to help students protect themselves." Citing the Beta Sigma Delta and recent Lambda Chi Alpha raids, he said students must be made aware of current Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board infiltration tactics at parties and be more responsible.' "The administration is trying to make us aware of the law - and they stand by that law, not serving to minors," he said. Gerlach added , "I'm going to try to do the best job possible - it's something I'm ready to take on. I'm looking forward to it." Vice president-elect Ray Matty said, "I want to give 110 percent to back up the president and to make campus better." Regarding the major issues he said, "A lot of things are up in the air - in the discussion stages and nothing is concrete." Concrete finances will be the job of Jim Shevlin as treasurer. According to Shevlin, his main concern will be to stick to the budget and allocate funds , and he will be in charge of the Finance, Budget, and Investment Committees. He also wants to inform students about the uses of their $50 Community Activities fee. Corresponding Secretary-elect Kathy Adams will correspond with other schools, keeping up with news and ideas to report to CGA. Recording Secretary-elect Anne O'Brien will keep the CGA. minutes. Concerned about "working together as a team," she also wants students to become more involved with the organizauon. She stated that all CGA officers are equal when discussing an issue, regardless of position . Contractors are seen here repairing the heating system on Wednesday near Ccntcnnlal Gymnasium.

Chrii Lower Report Indicates college alcohol problems by Albert Stuart Slippery Rock Rocket Editor % Slippery Rock Borough's police chief offered suggestions for tightening alcohol code enforcement, declaring that Slippery Rock University hasn 't made a dentin its alcohol problems. Police Chief Larry Thompson told a state House of Representatives select committee on alcohol abuse in Pennsylvania's colleges and universities that alcohol abuse among college students is a great problem if Slippery Rock is an example of other university towns. "I have been police chief in Slippery Rock for the past six years. As I reviewed the testimony given to this committee by the mayor of Millersville (site of Millersville University), it again made me aware that the problems we deal with on a constant basis in Slippery Rock are not unique to our community," Thompson's pretestimony written report said. Use and abuse of alcohol in Slippery Rock is severe enough to cause enforcement overflow problems for Slippery Rock's five-officer department. Complaints of alcohol-related thefts, vandalism and disorderly con- duct are not uncommon, the report stated. Of a total 531 arrests made in 1987 by the borough police, 288 were university students, mostiy for alcoholrelated offenses , figures provided by Thompson show. . Of the 222 alcohol-related arrests, 198 were made for underage drinking, 11 for providing alcohol to minors, and two each for public drunkenness and misrepresentation of age to purchase alcohol. "This type of (drunken) activity is more than enough to keep five officers busy; so busy in fact, that on a good night or weekend the officer on duty has to put calls on a waiting list and respond to them when he can get to them," the report said. "The weekly parties that generate these calls to the police usually hinge on complaints of loud intoxicated students, empty plastic cups, theft and vandalism," Thompson said in his report The situation won 't improve until magistrates start imposing the state's maximum penalties for underage drinking of $300 and 90 days in jail. Instead, Thompson said magistrates generally impose "trivial" fines of $50 and $49 in court costs. These low fines are easily paid by students who ask parents for extra money to pay for unexpected expenses, who have more parties, or resort to theft , Thompson said. "Anybody (magistrates) with the idea that 'these are just poor college students having a good time,' is not helping," the report said. Thompson said the judicial system and university are responsible for enforcement problems. Students' alcohol problems are not helped when the university, which won't act against students who misbehave off campus, is viewed as a place of sanctuary, Thompson said. University President Robert Aebersold, who disagrees with Thompson, said, "We have in the past, and will continue in the future, to act against students who cause problems or break the law. "But, for us to act, there must be some tie-in with the university's policies," Aebersold said. The university must know where it has authority to act, and in what situations, Aebersold said referring to the university 's 1987 decision to pull recognition from the Tau Kappa Epsi- Businesses not affected by mall by Ted Sarnoski for The Voice A number of new businesses have opened recently in Bloomsburg, regardless of the new mall project under construction outside of town. Builders have been actively recruiting businesses for the mall project, according to many town merchants. Bruce Musser, of The Record and Jeanswear Co. located on Main Street for 12 years, chose not to move to the mall. "The Record and Jeanswear Co. gears its merchandise toward the college-age individual," says Musser. "A woman of 18 can comein and find eight to 10 items, whereas a woman of 40 could maybe find one or two things," he added. Mary Ellen Zeisloft , owner of the Menagerielocated at 16 W. Main St., also believed the town businesses meet the college students' needs. Zeisloft said she moved to Bloomsburg from a larger area, and attended BU briefly when she decided to open a store. On campus, she heard many women comment that there were few places for them to shop in town. "The mall should not affect my business. After all , the college woman is my major aim. "This is a nice town and a wonderful place to raise children, and I think it will succeed," Zeisloft added. When school is not in session, Zeisloft does admit her business is slower. Bob and Marge Griffin, owners of Good as Gold said, "We have felt that the town needed a mall for some time, and it will increase traffic through the town." The decision to move across the street from their previous location rather than to the mall was prompted by several factors, said the Griffins. We could not sell gold at these prices if we had the overhead we would have at the mall. A lot of our business is word-of-mouth - not advertisement - and that would change if we moved far ," they said. Buy the Book Manager Nancy Coughlin said the primary target of the store was the younger college student and not the average card buyer. "Do a j ob right, offer people what they want, and no mall is going to affect your business' that much," said Coughlin. Buy the Book offers mall hours which Coughlin hopes will attract people to the store instead of the" mall. Bill Mandell plans on relocating his store, All Sports, lon fraternity because of alcohol-related problems. * Behavioral problems exist among students who have had too much to drink, but Thompson overgeneralized the problem 's severity, Aebersold said. Thompson said the university may foster the problem through student leaders' actions during student activities and orientations. "Are the student alcohol problems strictly off campus? I have my doubts.... After our 1986 presentation (at freshmen orientation), the upperclassmen performed a skit for the freshmen, showing them how to attend a private party. "This skit included a great display of: •props, including stolen milk crates as furniture, and a beer keg; •students paying, or "bucking-up" at the door to gain admission; •no mention that this type of activity was illegal or not condoned - rather that it was a way to have fun at Slippery Rock," the report stated. Although Aebersold said the skit had taken place, he added that such activities would not be repeated. "It (the skit) was an isolated incident," Aebersold said. to the old Lee Pats location rather than moving to the mall. "How many good sporting-goods stores do you find with my selection in malls?" asked Mandell. Mandell plans to remain at his new town location although it is farther from campus. "My best customers are faculty and staff. They have more money to spend on this type of stuff," said Mandell. International credits offered by Lisa Barnes for The Voice Foreign exchange programs to Hungary and Scotland are currently being made available throug h Dr. William Carlough, International Education director and Philosophy Department chairperson.

Commentary At Large Politics enter doctor offices by Ellen Goodman Having spent the past seven years in an epic struggle to batter their way into the American bedroom, the Reagan troops have finally decided to try a different militan t approach. The administration is aiming now for the doctor 's office. Having spent the same years unsuccessfull y attacking the right to privacy, they have shifted strategies there as well. They arc now trying to roll right over the right to speech. In its latest move, the administration is attempting lo regulate what it has been unable to legislate: a ban on talking, perhaps even thinking, about abortion. They have ruled that the 4,000 famil y-planning clinics that serve 4.5 million women will lose their federal funding if they so much as tell a patient about the option to have an abortion and where she might get that abortion . These regulations , written to go into effect March 3, mean that even if a woman asks about abortion , her doctor can 't answer. Faced with a pregnant woman - even a seriously ill woman , even a woman with AIDS - doctors , nurses, counselors can only speak about abortion to condemn it. "I consider this a profound and troublesome intrusion ," says Dr. Jack Graham of the American ColIccc of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is echoing the sentiments of many of his medical colleagues who never thought they'd have to reserve a chair for the government in their office. Struggling for an analogy, he adds, "It is as if a patient came in with an ulcer and we were onl y allowed to tell him about one treatment." The new rules arc, he believes, not only an infringement of free speech.They arc a mandate for malpractice and a violation of informed-consent laws. "How can a woman, give informed consent to her treatment without getting information?" On these grounds and others, the "Reagan Regs" are now being foug ht in ferdcral district courts. Last week the sites were Boston and Denver. This week it's New York. At least one of these courts is expected to acknowledge that the regulations violate the intent of Congress when it funded the clinics under Title X. In voting money, as Rep. Bill Green (RN.Y.) has said, they did so on the grounds of "requiring clinics to inform women of all their options." An injunction by any of these courts would stop the rules going into effect until the case is heard in a higher court. But whatever neat legal language is laid over this subject, it doesn't take a field commander to notice that the administration has turned to guerrilla tactics. The Reagan right hasn 't had a straighUbrward victory against abortion. The pro-life constituency hasn 't won a constitutional amendment or a ban. As a movement , their goals have changed from trying to make abortion illegal to try ing to make it impossible. This move is part of that strategy. The only legislative wins have come when Congress decided to appease right-to-lifcrs by yielding up the poor or the Third World. One of the ironies of life current battle is thai the famil y-planning clinics under attack by the "Reagan Regs" are already forbidden to perform abortions. Whal they offer is birth control to poor women. I am afraid that the poor have proved to be an easy target , especially for an administration in need of an easy hit. In a bizarre escalation of hostilities , the government now threatens these clinics: Say the word "abortion" and wc will take away the money you arc using to help prevent the unwanted pregnancies. I doubt very much that the rules will survive the court tests. If they do , the government could write the script for every patient consultation. But it's worth noting how this protracted battle has moved. In the eighth year of the Reagan administration, the attack on the right to choose freely has expanded - without a single extra regiment - into a full-fledged attackon the right to speak freely.

They give students vital job-related experience, critical thinking skills, crisis communiation skills, social and business contacts, or leadership and communication skills. Employcers look for people who took the initiative and involved themselves in meaningful and contributing groups on campus. These people often are more innovative and have experienced crises and dilemas that taught them to think in critical ways. Some organizations offer social and business contacts which may prove to be invaluable in the future. These contacts know your experience and may offer you employment posi- tions or recomendations which may help you procure a position with a desired firm. Other benefits are friendship and companionship, since people usually enjoy spending time with people who have the same interests as themselves. Still other organizations offer the most important asset, they give their members essential, practical experience that they will carry over into the job market. These people will have made important value judgments in their college career, judgements which will help them deal with on the job pressures.

To the Editor I am writing in regard to an article that appeared in the Feb. 11 issue of The Voice , "Holiday possesses a unique history." Although I found the article interesting and inform ative, I was disappointed in the writer's accuracy in quoting from one of the world's most famous tragedies, Shakespeare's Hamlet. It seems that what Shakespeare wrote is not what Ophelia said.

Times-Washington Post Service Neil Kinnock , the British Labour leader, was in talks with the British Foreign Office Tuesday night from Jordan about his visit to the West Bank Wednesday in an effort to avoid trouble. Kinnock , with the help of British diplomats here, was receiving reports from Jerusalem about the latest state of unrest in the occupied territories which he will be visiting over the next two days. Despite being determined to get a clear picture of conditions and grievances in the territories, Kinnock has said he wants to be careful not to be deliberatel y provocative or to allow his visit to become the centre of violent demonstrations. He was preparing to cross the Jordan Tuesday night after having had an emotional introduction to the refugee problem just outside Amman . He visited the Beqaa camp, where about 80,000 Palestinians live as some of them have done since the immediate aftermath of the 1967 war with Israel. The camp is stable, much of it now consisting of concrete shelters, and Kinnock saw reasonably well developed health and education facilities during his visit, which lasted about an hour. But he was moved by the condition of some of the inhabitants. One woman described to him through an interpreter how she and 13 other people shared a concrete room no more than 14 feet square. He stood with her in the room as she spoke of her wish to return to the home which she left after (lie 1967 war. When she told him that her four daughters, two sons and seven others shared the room , Kinnock's jaw set rigid in horror and he paled. Standing in a muddy street outside in pouring rain surrounded by camp families,he said, "Unless and unti l the problems of the West Bank and Gaza are solved it can only get worse-more and more people will be living like this. The woman I spoke to came from Hebron 21 years ago. She is only 35 years old and yet she looks like 50." One worker in the camp had told him , "Her hair has gone grey early because of all the circumstances she has gone through. Kinnock did have happy encounters with children in some of the schools inside the camp, where he exchanged greetings with one English-language class of 15-year-old girls, many of them born in the camp. He said he had not been too dismayed by what he had seen because he had known the conditions would be similar to those in refugee camps all over the world. But he said: "Our resolve must beto enable these people to go back to their homeland because that is what they want to do." Earlier, Kinnock had lunch with Crown Prince Hassan in the absence of King Hussein, and talks with the Jordanian Foreign Minister, who gave him full details of the state of the latest American peace plan in which Jordan is playing a pivotal role on the Arab side. He was not prepared to reveal details of what he had learned but it was clear afterwards that he had been given much more cause for optimism about coming developments than he had previously. In particular, he was told that Jordan attached great significance to a recent visit leaders of the American Jewish community in which they had appeared to take a much more conciliatory line on the future of the occupied territories, stressing the need for Israel's security rather than for the need for continued occupation. Kinnock said he wanted to do everything he could to help promote the American initiative, which he will be discussing with Israeli ministers and officials in the next two days. The Crown Prince, in a briefing for reporters accompany Kinnock said that outside support for peace efforts was vitally important. The unrest in the occupied territories could hold the key since it was convincing the outside world of the need for quick progress. Bloomsburg students enjoy themselves during Saturday 's Casino Day.

Pkoloby TJKemmerer Mixer eases tension by Cindy Hurst f o r The Voice Theinteraction of people from different cultures, groups and ethnic backgrounds was the purpose of "Bridging the Gap," a mixer sponsored by the Black Cultural Society and the Sociology and Social Welfare Club last evening in the Presidents' Lounge. According to Najma Adam , president of the Sociology and Social Welfare Club, the mixer provided an opportunity to relieve some of the racial tension that exists and help students become more sensitive to the differences between various cultures. "At least when we see these people on campus, we can say, 'hey, how are you?'" said Adam. Joshua "Tex" Lee, president of the Black Cultural Society, said the mixer gave students a unique opportunity to deepen their appreciation of diverse heritages and backgrounds through exposure and interaction with people from different cultures. "As students at the university become more educated , tolerant, and appreciative of distinct cultures , our healthy attitudes will hopefully ripple out into the community," Lee remarked. The evening began with a time for all members to get to know each other through mixing, introductions, and an ice breaker. A Bill Cosby film , entided Black History - Lost, Stolen or Strayed? was then shown, followed by smallgroup discussions. Students talked about the popular misconceptions about black and white people. Adam and Lee closed the evening with an invitation to the entire group to respond to the question , "What can we (blacks and whites) do to destroy the discrimination and prejudice which exists between black and white people on campus?" The mixer benefited members of both clubs. Although involving only a small percentage of the students on campus, the insights gained through events such as these prove instrumental in continuing the batde against racism on this campus, in the community, and throughout the entire country. Theevening was summed up to be a time for studen ts toreach,out to students in order to understand each other's cultures and start bridging the gap.

Shultz assured Israel Tuesday that the United States is not trying to stake out a specific position before any Middle East peace talks on the fate of the occupied territories. Shultz told reporters that efforts to start new talks had become "somewhat sterile" and that the United States was trying to develop a "new blend of ideas" for resolving the conflict. "We're not trying to stake out positions of one kind or another," Shultz said. 'The historic U.N. Resolution is 242, and exacdy how that will shape itself in a discussion, a real negotiation, remains to be seen. The thing is to get going at it" Resolution 242 calls for Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories and Arab recognition of the right of all nations in the region to live in peace and security. Shultz was in Florida to brief the AFL-CIO executive council on the In termediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty before the Senate. Shortly after his appearance, the council approved a resolution urging Senate approval of the treaty. The council warned, however, that the United States must continue to maintain "a credible deterrence against a Warsaw Pact attack on Western Europe." It said this would require a restructuring of U.S. strategic nuclear forces. At a news conference later, Shultz was asked to respond to a warning from Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir that Shamir would not accept President Reagan's "territory-forpeace"principle as the basis for entering new negotiations on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The United States has proposed an approach that would begin with ArabIsraeli talks on limited autonomy for the occupied territories, then negotiations on the final status of the territories within six months based on the "territory-for-peace" principle outlined by Reagan in 1982. Last week, Shamir sent an envoy to outline to Shultz Israel's objection to the approach. The envoy met Sunday with a top Shultz aide in Washington. Shultz said Tuesday that the United States has been involved in intensive discussions with all of the governments involved in the Middle East He described discussions with Israel as "a tremendous and rich back-and-forth" and added that he was not surprised by Shamir's opposition . Shultz said theparties to the process should stop getting bogged down in the debate over how to negotiate and begin looking at the substance of the negotiations. "We have seen a great deal of discussion...in terms of process, direct negotiations on one hand, an international conference or some other kind of international vehicle on the other," Shultz said. "It has, I think, become somewhat sterile." As a result, he said, "if we're going to get going, we need to talk a little more about...substance in terms of The CGA 1988-89 BudgetRequest forms have been mailed to all organizations on campus.

Later Tuesday, the AFL-CIO condemned Israel's "use of excessive force"against Palestinian civilians on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, Its first-ever rebuke of Israel, according to federation spokesman Rex Hardesty. "They haven 't crushed children 's hands before," he said. On another subject, Shultz defended the right of U.S. ships to sail in the Black Sea. Asked about the incident last week when two Soviet naval ships rammed U.S. Navy vessels sailing within 12 miles of the Soviet coast, Shultz said, "It's not an effort to be provocative in any way." He said the U.S. warships were simply asserting rights of innocent passage as part of a continuing process worldwide to make sure that U.S. naval ships maintain maritime rights. ,l SEOftSE, By i think T h e y is e g o t i t !"

Althoug h they will be traveling to the Sunshine state, instead of lying in the sun all day, they will be doing what they do best - playing baseball. Because of the dedication of BU baseball coach John Babb and the hard work of his players , the team will be in Cocoa, Florida from March 5-12. In ordtr to partici pate in the Cocoa Expose , BU' s baseball team needed to raise 510,000 dollars , "Which ," said Coach Babb , "is more than our budget for the entire year."Most of the budget goes towards transportation , meal money for away games, and ump ires needed for the 47 games the team plays in a season. So, to finance the trip to Florida , the team planned a marathon game and held a baseball clinic. At the clinic , children from the ages 7-12 learned baseball skills from BU team members. The cost of die clinic'was S35 dollars for two days and S20 for one day. At the Cocoa Expose , the Huskies will play a double header each day, competing against Boston College , Kenc College , Lewis University, Indiana University of Pennsy lvania , Sli ppery Rock , Kalamazoo College, and Clark University . Two years ago the team went to Sanford , Florida , and left with a record of 3-3. Last year the team did not go to Florida. Instead , the money raised was spent on improving Litwhilcr Field. "For the most part ," said Babb , "the improvement of Litwhilcr Field has been a baseball projec t and not a university project." Improvements made have included an electronic scoreboard , a new fence, and an equipment shed. The money iI rn Boar@ | came from fund raisers, Husky Club members, and Bill Hess, a friend to Babb and the Husky baseball team. The Florida trip will help prepare the team for there 88' season. Sophmore team member Kurt Gairing said, "We're going South because it 's warm and we can outdoor practices. And that 's what you need lo be good. " Gairing also remarked that , "The only teams to travel this far are th?. baseball team and the Womcns ' Lacrosse team. There going the same time we are." After return ing from Florida , the team will beg in their daily practices. The Husk y baseball season begins on Friday, March 18, with a game against Susquehanna University at home. Babb looks forward to the trip and a successful season. Of his team , Babb said , "Bloomsburg University has no scholarship athletes in the baseball program . All of our team personnel put forth their efforts purel y because they love the sport.

She was 29-50 form the field , including two of five from three-point range, and made 19 of 25 free throws. She added 11 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals.

The shot went in , rolled round and round, then rolled out and taking with it the Bloomsburg University Husky 's men's basketball team playoff hopes as West Chester won a thrilling game 77-75 in overtime. The game featured the Achilles ' heal of the Huskies all season, turn overs. The Huskies committed 25 turnovers compared to only nine for the Golden Rams and West Chester converted Bloomsburg 's turnovers 11 times that gave them leads of as much as nine points during the game. The first half was evenly played and had many small runs by both teams. Bloomsburg started the game with a 6-2 run the first two and a half minutes of the game. West Chester came right back with two buckets by Jim Shechan to lie the game at six. The Huskies preceded to put another run together of 8-2 with balanced scoring and strong rebounding to take a 14-8 lead. West Chester scored the next nine points and took a 17-14 lead with 6:46 to go in the first half. Bloomsburg took advantage of their height for the next two minutes and scored the next seven points with four of those points by Alex Nelcha as the Huskies regained the lead at 21 -17 wilh 4:40 remaining in the first half. West Chester put together another small run with scoring by Derek Ward and held another brief lead of 24-23. The Huskies ended the half by scoring the last four points in the half and took a 27-24 lead into ihe halftime intermission . The first six minutes of the second half was a nightmare for Bloomsburg as they committed turnoverafter turn- over caused by an aggressive full court press by the Rams. These turnovers resulted in a 14-3 run by West Chester and a 38-30 lead. The Huskies scrambled back into Ihc game wilh a 12-2 run by strong play by Matt Wilson and Joe Stepanski and Bloomsburg had a very brief 42-40 lead midway through the second half. But the Huskies continued to turn the ball over and many of these turn 7 overs were caused by 5'7" Rick y Hicks. Mark Caprarola converted man y of these turnovers and went on « _ 11 -2 tear to take a commanding 5144 lead wilh 7:32 left in regulation . Bloomsburg scratched back to within three points at 56-53 with 3:25 to play. West Chester then pulled away wilh six straight points to take a seeming ly insurmountable lead of 62-53 by Mike Mullen Sports Editor Bloomsburg University held West Chester scoreless over the final 3:40 of last night 's game while scoring six of th ier own to walk out of West Chester with a highl y contested 61-52 victory over the Rams. The Huskies' leading scorer, Theresa Lorenzi , was held to only 11 points, well below her 24.4 point average. Freshmen Barb Hall and Nina Alston picked up the slack, scor- ing 19 and 13 points respectively. Hall , who hauled in 10 rebounds, was selected the Player of the Game, for her performance. Bloomsburg had a 29-26 lead at the hal f, but West Chester opened up the second half with a 10-2 run to take a 36-31 lead with fourteen minutes remaining in the game. The Huskies answered right back wilh a 9-1 run , to open a 40-37 lead. Lorenzi had foru points in the run and point guard Becky Pigga had three. Pigga ended with seven points. After the teams exchanged baskets and the Rams were able to take a brief 45-44 lead with 7:33 left in the game, Alston nailed her only three-pointer of the game, giving the Huskies a lead they would never relinquish. Although it remained close for the next four minutes, West Chester hit a bucket to pull within th ree, ,55-52 , with 3:40 left in the game, but failed to score the rest of the way and Bloomsburg won by a final of 61-52. Alston 's 13 was just above her 12.4 season average. Amy Wolf had five points , Karen DeLullo, three, Donna Cooper, two and Carla Shearer, one. For the Rams, Leslie Mensch and Linda Vidovich did the majority of the damage, scoring 17 and ^ respectively. Mensch also led all rebounders with 11. Wilh the victory, Bloomsburg improves their record to 9-1 in the PSAC. They will now prepare for this Saturday's game against Mansfield. The Bloomsburg University men s and women's swimming and diving teams will compete in the Pennsylvania Conference Championships this Thursday through Saturday , Feb. 1820, at Clarion University. All events will be held in the natatorium of the Waldo S. Tipp in Gymnasium beginning at 10 a.m. each day with the finals slated for 6 p.m. each evening. The women 's team will be out to continue its string of impressive finishes which has seen the Huskies register second place showings in each of the last seven seasons, while the men 's unit will attempt to improve its standing for the second straight year after ending up in the seventh place position in 1987. "Realistically, we are looking at second place for the women, but we want to get closer to Clarion to show the progress we've made," said second year head coach Dave Rider. "Our goals have been to show constant improvement, and if we swim our best times, we have to be happy. In the long run , that's what we're looking for in the program. The men have a good shot at sixth place and maybe an outside chance at finishing fifth." Senior Beth Roeder, who has already qualified for the NCAA Divi- sion II Championships in two events, has the ability and has registered the times to win several races at the PC meet. She has been clocked in 59.08 seconds in the 100-yard butterfly and has the nation 's fastest 200-yard butterfly time at 2:07.07. Roeder will compete in both races in the PC and national championships. She is also entered in the PC's 200 and 400-yard individual medley races, recording qualifying times of 2:14.08 and 4:52.10, respectively. Roeder was a conference champion in the 200-yard butterfly a year ago as well as swimming a leg of the Huskies' title-winning 200-yard freestyle relay unit. She finished fourth in the 200-yard individual medley, third in the 400-yard individual medley and was a member of Bloomsburg 's rtmner-up 400 and 800-yard freestyle and 400-yard medley relay teams. Sophomore Debby Leggy is returning to defend the crown she won as a freshman in the 1650-yard freesty le for the Huskies. She also finished second in the other distance freestyle race at a length of 500 yards and will be one of the favorites in both races this season.Legg has registered qualify ing times in three other events including the 200-yard freestyle event and the 100 and 200-yard backstrokes. She was also a place winner in the 200-yard freestyle race last seaon , finishing in eighth place and was a part of die second place 800-yard freestyle rcaly squad . Karen Pfistercr, another performer who recorded hi gh finishes as a freshman in last year's meet, will lead the Huskies' freestyle sprint corps in the 100 and 200-yard races, and will compete in the 500-yard freestyles and the 100-yard butterfly. Pfistercr was fourth in the 100, 200 and 500yard freestyles in 1987, sixth in the 100-yard butterfly, and was a member of all five relay teams. She has team bests in the 50 and 100-yard freestyles with a 25.60 in the shorter race and a timing of 54.50 in the 100-yard event. Kim Nelson, a freshman , could make her presence known in her first season in several events including four freestyles, the 100, 200, 500 and 1650. Nelson has the team's best times in the 200 and 500-yard races in clockings of 1:58.80 and 5:15.99. Several other members of the squad should turn in high finishes giving the Huskies valuable points to close in on Clarion and fend off the charge of much improved Slippery Rock for second place. The questionable status of national place winner kim Youndt, who has been experiencing shoulder problems this season, could create a problem for the Huskies in a few events.The solid performances of the relay units was the main reason for the improvements in the standings of the men's team. This season 's veterans Jack Carr, Todd McAllister and Bob Potter, make up three quarters of the 400 and 800-yard freesty le units with a pair of freshman rounding out the teams with Drew Wallace in the shorter event and Dave Danner in the 800-yard race. Potter, Wallace and Carr are also members of the400-yard medl y relay squad with the brcaststroke leg still undecided. Potter, a sophmore who placed in three events last season, should be one of the top competitors in the 100 and 200-yard backstroke and the 200-yard freestyle once again this season. He was fifth in the 100 and 10th in the 200-yard backstrokes, while he finished 12th in the freestyle race. Potter has times of 57.76 seconds in the 100yard backstroke and 2:08.41 in the 200-yard race.Senior Jerry Shantillo was 12th in the 1650-yard freestyle last season and could improve upon his place. Shantillo should be joined in the race by freshman Brian Duda, who will also compete in the 200-yard backstroke and the 500-yard freestyle. In the brcaststroke races, any one of three competitors could finish among the place winners. Senior John Schneider placed in both the 100and 200yard breaststrokes a year ago, finishing eighth and 13th, respectively, while another senior, Ed McElhiney, and freshman Mark Moore have turned in times similar to those of Schneider. Wallace is the Huskies' top performer in two races, the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfl y where he has registered times of 22.80 and 55.51 seconds, respectively. by George Wadley for The Voice The Bloomsburg University Ice Hockey club spent last week adjusting its record to 14-6 with two wins and a loss. They manhandled the Lords Valley Nordmen 11-0, lost to Wilkes College, 8-5, and defeated the Wilkes-Barre Bears, 7-4. In the first victory, BU got goals from Jim Kortnick, who had four, T.J. Joyner and Mick Petrulla, who each had two, Pat Neuman, Pete Valli, and Bob Zarko. In the loss to Wilkes, the Huskies got off to a quick start with early goals from Pat Neuman, Jim Kortnic and Bob Weiss. Two Wilkes goals gave Bloomsburg the early 3-2 lead after one period. Then Wilkes got into gear, scoring four goals in the second period, sending Bloomsburg into the third period on the short end of a 6-3 score. by Mary Ellen Spisak Staff Writer Tuesday night, the Huskies visited West Point to take on the Cadets in a match that made Bloomsburg victors ina21-15 win.
