Informal hearing delayed A lack of evidence concerning a slate police raid has stalled an informal hearing to determine what disciplinary action , if any, will be taken against the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. According to Lambda Chi Alpha President Mike Bryan , more information is being gathered by the fra ternity and ils lawyer. He added lhat fra ternity officers will meet with Dean of Student Life Robert Norton in the near future. The raid , which occurcd Feb. 11 during a mixer with the Theta Tau Omega sorority, resulted in 30 underaged drinking arrests. CGA considers campus concerns by Melissa Harris for The Voice During the Community Government Association Senate meeting on Feb. 22, Dr. John Trathen, director of Student Activities and Kehr Union , announced the plans of the Kehr Union Governing Board lo remove the bowling alleys.

Roberts, in an interview Monday , said he heard from a friend about the search and turned himself in to town police later Friday. He was arraigned on theft and conspiracy charges involving $60 allegedly removed from a woman's purse at Lemon's Tavern Jan. 15. Roberts is free on recognizance bail of $5,000 and faces a hcarjng Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. before Bloomsburg District Justice Donna Coombe. Roberts, who is black,believes race may have played a role in the police decision to "snatch me out of class" and "put me into an embarrassing position lhat a while person wouldn't have gone through." He maintained his innocence in the theft. He said he received paperwork through the mail from the magistrate's office , but "a misunderstanding" arose when a hearing date was changed . I got a letter, and then a certified letter but I figured it can't be from the judge because I already got my letter. Even her office said it was a big misunderstanding when I got in th ere,"he said. "It hurt me bad," he said of the police coming into class. "I'm not a murderer or a killer. "They stopped another friend of mine and asked if he was Kyle by Jack Risdon Staff Writer Questions regarding Bloomsburg's recycling program effectiveness were raised at this month 's Town-Gown meeting. Town Councilwoman Florence Thompson, who said that program participation has declined in recent years, commented that the university participated well in 1983 (when the program was made mandatory through a municipal ordinance) and that she spoke with all university department seccrtaries about the recycling of office waste papers. Thompson said that although recyclable materials saved from university dorms are not available for collection, an investi gation of the situation is underway, and collection will resume when the problem is found. Concerning student participation , Thompson said that students seemed positive about recycling but did not realize it was a law . CGA explored the possiblities of extended hours for the Health Center, and three potential comedy acts for the spring semester. The Senate also gave approval to several allocations. The Bloomsburg University Concert Choir requested more than $4,000 to travel to Quebec to give several performances at the end of the spring semester. A similar request by Women 's Choral Ensemble for about $400 was approved for a tour of Boston.

"One of our concerns is lo keep it from happening again ," said Sociology Department chairwoman Sue Jackson. "It's very disruptive to all concerned." Bloomsburg Police Chief Larry Smith defended the search by his officer and a BU Law Enforcement officer. He said police acted within the law and only go on campus as a "last resort." Smilh said police have made similar classroom arrests and will do so again if necessary. "This isn't the 38th parallel in the Korean War where one can jump over to the other side," he said. But state police Sgt. Joseph Donelly, who commands the Bloomsburg barracks, said it is "highly unusual" for police to enter a class to serve an arrest warrant. "It's not our policy to go into a classroom itself," he said. "It's highly unusual for our people to go into a classroom unless it's a real emergency. You could talk to a professor and have him bring the guy out. Get the kid outside if you have a warrant for him."

The students come here from all over, and aren 't used to recycling at home.... If the law was enforced by landlords and the university, in a year or two, recycling would become common practice." Thompson said, "Recycling is easy and only takes two minutes per week. It 's a matter of not putting the stuff together in the first place. "If students find they don 't have space to store the materials, there are drop-off shelters in town at Weis Market and the Hospital parking lot," she said. Curbside collections are held on the third Saturday of each month. The materials to be separated are cardboard , newspaper and clear and colored glass bottles. Pamphlets are available at the Town Hall for further information. Volunteer Recycling Inc. (VRI), a non-profit organization which serves Columbia County, operates curbside collection in seven munici palities. VRI, 10-years-old in March, was started by Department of Enviromental Resources and Pennsylvania Resource Commission grants. Thompson , the founding and current president of VRI, explained that concern that the Columbia County landfill would close in 1977 , a meeting was held and a task force was appointed. Originally VRI was a pilot program to see if recycling could work in rural areas. Itis staffed by six full-time employees, aided by community volunteers on collection days, and welcomes volunteers from university and community groups. She added that scholarships are available for students looking into careers in recycling by calling is 1800-346-4242. Concerning the program , Thompson said, "It's been very successful.... If it can work in Bloomsburg, it can work anywhere. "It would not have been possible without the cooperation of the state, county, town and individuals who make it work." she said. 1 7:18 8:18 9:18 10:18 12:18 1:18 4:18 5:18 7:18 2 3 7:19 7:20 8:19 8:20 9:19 9:20 10:19 , 10:20 12:19 12:20 1:19 1:20 4:19 4:20 5:19 5:20 7:19 7:20 4 7:22 8:22 9:22 10:22 12:22 1:22 4:22 5:22 7:22 5 7:23 8:23 9:23 10:23 12:23 1:23 4:23 5:23 7:23 6 7:25 8:25 9:25 10:25 12:25 1:25 4:25 5:25 7:25 7 7:27 8:27 9:27 10:27 12:27 1:27 4:27 5:27 7:27 8 7:29 8:29 9:29 10:29 12:29 1:29 4:29 5:29 7:29 9 7:32 8:32 9:32 10:32 12:32 1:32 4:32 5:32 7:32 10 7:35 8:35 9:35 10:35 12:35 1:35 4:35 5:35 7:35 1.

In the Feb. 22 issue of The Voice, a letter to the editor submitted by Franklin Sellers con tainted false information presented as fact. According to Dean Robert Norton , the fraternit y was not pla ced on probation for violating i.nfj ha/ing laws last semester , and was in good standing with the university at the " time of the raid on their mixer. The false information was printed as an oversight and not meant to be malicious. However, it is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief to screen all letters to be sure all information presented as fact is true. Letters to the editor are meant to be op inion , supported by fact. There is a definate difference between the two. It seems Mr. Sellers took it upon himself to assume something to be true. Although the final blame rests with me, I would appreciate future writers to be careful when including facts in their letters so embarrassment to innocent people can be avoided . Finally , I would like to thank Lambda Chi for the respectfu l way the situation was handled. Karen Reiss „ Editor-in-chief P.S. Mr. Sellers. Next time you submit a letter , please refe r to the editorial policy first.

Drinking doesn 't do anything good for you - sure you forget your problems for awhile but it doesn't make them go away. As far as your boycott on downtown Bloomsburg, I seriously doubt that very many people would go along with lhat. The laws aren 't really their problem , they are yours. Maybe if you would wake up and realize that people can meet members of the opposite sex without getting buzzed , you would get off the "poor me" kick. I do have to give you credit for encouraging students to vote and having a designated driver - too many people have died before living. By the way, did you check out the other articles about the non-alcoholic parties? They had lots of members of both sexes there. My point is made. Thank you. Venus Letter contained false info Franklin , Franklin , Franklin. Where do you get your information? You arc obviousl y confused about what is going on wilh Lambda Chi' s current situation. In your witty letter to the editor , "frankly " you said things that are not true. First of all , Frank , the university is currentl y conducting an investi gation to determine what actions they wish to take. Sorry if the administration does not work fast enough for you. This is not a case of the university trying to wi pe out local fraternities on campus. It is simply a difference in circumstances surrounding the LCB raids. Contrary to your claim that we were already on probation for violating anti-hazing laws, Lambda Chi was in good standing with the university at the time of the raid. You stand corrected. We were not in the woods with kegs of beer and blindfolded associates. (Uh , excuse you). We do agree with you on one point, Frank. The punishment inflicted on Beta Sig was blown out of proportion due to the Riot and the ensuing media blitz. But are we to be held responsible for what has happened in the past and the action s th at were taken? What is you personal interest in the affai rs of Lam bda Chi and Beta Sig anyway? As fra iemities, we happen to support each other as members of the GrceK system , which you would not understand. Kenny Moore, social chairman of Beta Si g, who probabl y has the most to lose in their case , commente d, "I do not want to sec Lambda Chi lose their charter." Lambda Chi is in no way preaching about the evils of alcohol. We have simpl y accepted the facl that this is the way il has to be from now on. By the At Larue Letter was thoughtless two of our fraternity houses. Although the university 's Code of Conduct and laws regarding alcohol have not changed, enforcement efforts have increased significantly. In the past, the Liquor Control Board was responsible for enforcement of laws relating to alcohol . This fall , enforcement responsibility was transferred to the Pennsylvania State Police. Since they have assumed this role, the State Police have stepped up alcohol enforcement activities. These actions have resulted in arrests at two of our fraternity houses and at least one local tavern. As a result , more than 170 Bloomsburg University students are painfully aware that the Pennsylvania Stale Police are serious about carrying out their new enforcement responsibility. It is clear, from these actions and from the new laws regarding hazing, that there is widespread concern regarding the dangers inherent in the use and abuse of alcohol , and in the hazing practices of some groups. Be assured that the administration of Bloomsburg University considers th ese issues to be very serious and will continue our educational programming on these top ics. We have concurrent responsibility to take appropriate discip linary action when our Code of Conduct is violated. As part of these efforts, we are working to be sure you are aware of both individual responsibilities and the legal ramifications of violating policy and/or the law. We have invited Sgt. Ronald Barto of the Pennsylvania State Police to campus to discuss the position of the State Police with regard to their enforcement activities and to answer any questions you may have. Please watch The Voice for the time and place of that meeting. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions , please feel free to contact my office. Sincerely Jcrrold A. Griffis Vice President For Student Life WB ^^^W|HBH ^ Men only clubs are big business by Ellen Goodman Editorial Columnist Those who have never entered the inner sanctum of an all-male club are likely to envision it as the exclusive, wood-paneled retreat of the elite . There are the very late George Apley and his cronies , resplendent in tweeds, still sit in leather wing chairs, puffing pipes, rising onl y occasionally to toast good fellowship and lament the loss of the gold standard. But this vintage 19th-century scene has been updated. On any given day, such a club is not just hosting George and his unreconstructed pals. It 's probably serving breakfast to the law form of Biddle , Biddle and Fiddle, lunch to the monthl y meeting of the investment bankers and dinner to the state insurance associauon. In the twilight of the 20th century, the most vaunted pri vate clubs are also in the business of business. The women excluded from membership or banned from the premises, women who aren 't allowed to sit in the lobby or walk through the front door, are penalized in doing business with the boys. So, on Tuesday, the Supreme Court is going to hear what might be called The Last Bastion Case. It is listed formally as New York State Club Association v. City of New York. It will test the constitutionality of a law, already copied in at least half a dozen other cities, that would force these clubs to choose - gasp - between admitting women or giving up money. This choice is not just an arbitrary one, your money or your manhood. Under the Constitution, any group of Americans has the right to private association. If the blue-eyed , righthanded , bird lovers of Wisconsin want to form an exclusive club for the purposes of warbling, the government cannot force them to open up the premises to brown-eyed, left-handed cat fanciers. More to the point, any group of males, young boys or old boys, can freely build their plywood clubhouse and post a sign: NO GIRLS ADMITTED. Any group of girls can do the same thing. But if a pri vate club gets involved in public , commercial activity, how long can it go on claiming the rights of "private association"? The New York law says that a club stops being private and starts being subject to public laws - including those against discrimination- - if it has more than 400 members, provides regular meal service and gets regular money from non-members "in furtherance of business or trade." Most of the rich and famous clubs do ju st that. In 1980, 37 percent of city-club income and 26 percent of country-club incomes in America came from memberships that were paid by businesses . Companies paid men to belong to clubs that barred their female colleagues. It 's estimated that 85 percent of the money spent at these same clubs was treated as business expense, so that taxpayers also supported "private clubs." Columbia Law Professor Jack Greenburg, author of the law, made this careful distinction , "If it's a club where people hang out, are affable and drink port it's not covered." But if it's the Century Club and assorted other last bastion of New York business, it is. This case goes to the Supreme Court at something of an historic moment. Justice Blackmun recently resigned from one all-male club. The brand new Justice Kennedy resi gned from another all-male club. A third Justice, O'Connor, was once barred from an all-male club. It was Justice O'Connor who wrote the decision that opened up the Jaycees and Rotary : "When a club enters the marketplace of commerce in any substantial degree, it loses the complete control over its membership that it would otherwise enjoy if it confined its affairs to the marketplace of ideas." Do I hear a bell knolling over the Century Club door? The issue of integrating clubs is often seen as one of those elitist matters of importance only to a handful of already privileged women like the late George Apley 's granddaughter, a Princeton graduate and corporate lawyer. But as any woman who has ever been excluded from a lunch meeting or forced to go through a side door to join her companions can tell you, they are a real part of the fabric of business in America. In that sense, this is not an attack on single-sex associations. There are allmale and all-female environments, segregated retreats, coffee klatches and clubs, that sustain many of us. But business is not private and professions are not an all-male club. And clubs that pocket profits from business cannot run for the protection of privacy. The law before the Supreme Court says simply: They can't have it both ways anymore. ®tj _e Botce Editor-in-Chief. Karen Reiss Managing Editor Tom Sink News Editors Lisa Cellini , Tammy J.

Times-Washington Post Service Local security officials and independent military observers in southern Lebanon said Tuesday that three men involved in the kidnapp ing of U.S. Marine Lt. Col. William Hi ggins have been arrested , but gave no encouragement that it mi ght lead to the officer's release. Daoud Daoud , a commander of the ShiitcAmal militia , confirmed that two participants in the abduction , as well as a third man who was carrying a letter from Beirut to the kidnapers with orders to bring Higgins to the Lebanese capital, were arrested by Amal last Wednesday, the same day the abduction took place near the southern port city of Tyre. The courier was not able to deliver his message, Daoud added. The Amal commander said his militia knew the name of the mastermind of the kidnapping, but had been unable to locate him. He declined to identify the suspect or the three men being held. Amal security sources said they suspected Higgins was being held in the village of Jibshcet, about 15 miles northeast of Tyre. Hezbollah gunmen have fanned out in a cordon around the village, where there is heavy Iranian influence and a fervently religious population . The gunmen prevented Amal and reporters from approaching the small town. Last Friday, Amal militiamen searched Jibshcet and took in a few men for questioning. A security official i.i Tyre said Tuesday that "two of the kidnappers who were in the front car and a third person supposedly monitoring Higgins' movements were arrested, but the abduction was a very elaborate and professional operation and involved five cars. "The kidnappers switched their hostage from a Volvo to a pickup truck, then to a Mercedes 280, and then the trail is lost," he added. The group that said it abducted Higgins, the Organization for the Oppressed on Earth , has accused the 43-year-old Marine of being a Central Intelligence Agency operative under United Nations cover. Higgins heads the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization in Lebanon. U.N. Undersecretary General Marrack Goulding has described the allegation as "nonsense." Confirmation by thePentagon of reports that Higgins had been an aide to former secretary of defense Caspar W. Weinberger and press reports that the officer had a high security clearance have minimized chances for his release, according to U.N. sources. "This has been a very serious setback, especially if you understand how the minds of these kidnappers work ," said one official involved in the investigation. "They now think they have a gold mine, with a shortage of foreigners in Beirut and the stream of information on the man. The kidnappers probabl y think they have the top man in the CIA and they will try to get as much as they can for him from the . . highest bidder," he added . .; .. _ .. Boycott threatens Arab peace shuttle by Dan Fisher L.A. Times-Washington Post Service The threatened Palestinian boycott of a proposed meeting wilh Secretary of State George P. Shullz during the American official' s planned Middle East peace shuttle later this week has underlined a deep-seated Arab distrust of U.S. policy and added to doubts about any hoped-for breakthrough in the peace process. Shultz wants to meet Friday with Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, where 11 weeks of unrest have resulted in at least 61 deaths and the explosive return of the Palestinian issue into the international headlines. Instead of reveling in what may appear as the first importan t chance to translate their success on the streets into more permanent political gains, however, the Palestinians are threatening to boycott Shulti unless he agrees to unprecedented ground rules issued by the Palestine Liberation Organization. The PLO has insisted on approving any Palestinian delegates to the meeting with Shultz , and opposes any meeting that does not include representatives of the approximately 3 million Palestinians living outside Israel and the occupied territories. Palestinian leaders confirmed the PLO demands here Tuesday and pledged that no West Bank or Gaza Strip personality would meet with Shultz without PLO approval. Diplomatic sources, meanwhile, suggested that the American side is also digging in and threatening to cast the Palestinians into the role of peace process spoilers unless they back down from the PLO demands and agree to a meeung. U.S. special envoy Wat T. Cluverius reportedly warned the group that "the train of the peace process has started , and whoever fails to get on board will be the loser." And another diplomatic source who spoke on condition of anonymity said in an interview Tuesday lhat "whoever says 'no' first will take the responsibility for seeing the whole (Shultz initiative) fall apart." While some Palestinians here are clearly worried that they may wind up being blamed for any failure of the Shultz mission , others say they have heard similar American statementsin the past. And the latter dismiss the warnings as a ploy intended to help impose a "Pax Americana"that falls far short of Palestinian goals. Arabs believe so strongly that U.S. Middle East policy is held hostage to Israeli interests that some even claim thcentireShultzpeaceshuttle is structured purposely so that the Palestinians will emerge as the bad guys, th us helping to repair the damage Israel has suffered to its worldwide image since the unrest began in early December. "Everyone is fed up wilh American policy," said Ziad abu Zayed, a prominent Palestinian editor from East Jerusalem and one of those whose names have been mentioned as possible interlocutors for Shultz. "We feel we have paid a very expensive price, and as a result we think we should get something substantial." according to Zayed. "Palestinians question Shultz 's good will," added another East Jerusalem source who requested anonymity. "If he had such good will, he would have tried to solve our problem before (more than) 60 Palestinians died." On Tuesday, Hanna Siniora, editor of the East Jerusalem-based, pro-PLO dail y Al Fajr and the man reportedly designated by the PLO as its go-between for the Shultz mission, reportedly told American officials that a delegation of Palestinians from the territories and from outside were ready to meet theU.S. official in some Arab or Western capital. The PLO has reportedly made it clear that while it insists on approving any delegates to a Shultz meeting, those representatives do not have to be PLO members. The United States is committed to Israel not to meet with PLO members until the organization renounces terrorism and officially recognizes Israel's right to exist. . ,.;. ¦ ;. i f . ¦. i: X H , , !

The hist act begins with Josie and Jim in the same position in the morning while the sun is coming up. Phil comes back and goes into the house. Josie then wakes Jim. At first he cannot remember anything, but feels at peace with himself. Also, he has no desire to drink. After a while he remembers everything but acts as if he dosen 't. Josie then pretends that she doesn't remember anything either. But when she wishes him goodbye, Jim comes back, kisses her twice, and says that he will always remember her and the love she gave him. Phil comes back and tells Josie that his scheme was not for Jim 's money. It was only to bring Josie and Jim together and for them "to face the truth lhat you love each other." Josie believes her father and teases him for playing cupid. But later, when Phil vents his rage at Jim , she stop him in anguish , saying, "Father, I love him." Phil apologizes, and then trys to act in a civil manner. As Phil leaves, Josie looks after Jim and says, "May you have your wish and die in your sleep, soon, Jim darling, may you rest in forgiveness and peace."

For those of us who attend BU (where the semester began before Labor Day), that meant making up hours in order to receive our tips, referred to as our "bonus." Furthermore, instead of receiving the full 15 percent, we received a smaller percentage based on our performances as waitresses. Some received as little as 8 percent, the highest being only 11 percent. That percentage was deducted from our total hourly wages, and lhat amount constituted our bonus. Upon hiring, we were told bonuses ranged from $1,000 to $1 ,500. In October, I received a rating of 10 percent and a bonus check for $560.

BLOOM COUNTY BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed by Berke Breathed 1 BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed Big East Picking tournament field tough chore this season brawling by Jerry Sullivan LA. Times-Washington Post Service Jake Crouthamel, the Syracuse athletic director, has been around the B ig East long enough to know there is only one problem grave enough to capture the attention of the conference overlords. And that 's the sort of problem the league is facing right now. "We have," Crouthamel said Tuesday, "a P.R. problem ." Fighting isn't the problem in the Big East; it never has been. How else can you explain the fact that the league has, until now, never seen fit to draft any regulations for dealing wilh the violent incidents that have occurred periodicall y on its basketball floors? If the conference truly abhorred fighting, if it really intended tostopit ,itwouldhave actcd a long time ago - perhaps when the conference was first established - by giving the commissioner the power to impose suspensions on players involved in fights. Instead,the league did nothing. The schools and their commissioner, Dave Gavitt, apparently were much too busy selling the conference to the Eastern populace to confront the trifling issue of violence, too busy promoting the athletes to legislate their behavior. From the start, Gavm realized the Big East would be an enterprise in P.R., a marriage of marketing and media. And in a relativel y short time, it has flourished beyond anyone's imagination , evolving into perhaps the finest college basketball conference in the land. During the Patrick Ewing era at Georgetown, when the league was still gaining a foothold , there was as much , or more, fighting as there is today. By failing to take action against fighting, the league, in effect, sanctionedit- much like they do in the NHL. Georgetown, with its surpassing talent, its reputation for aggression , and its mercurial head coach, John Thompson, created a compelling sense of conflict for the Big East. For all their foibles, both real and otherwise, the Hoyas could be tolerated. They were the ultimate P.R. for a league that needed it. But things have changed. The Big East now has a relatively secure, unassailable P.R.base, and all the television exposure it could ask for. Meanwhile, Georgetown is still becoming involved in the occasional scuffle, three this season by last count. The most recent, and most unsightly, of those skirmishes occurred this past Saturday, when Georgetown 's Perry McDonald cuffed Pittsburgh's Jerome Lane on the back of the head with four seconds remaining, touching off a wild , bench-clearing melee and necessitating a premature end to Pitt 's 70-65 win. And to the league's misfortune, it took place on national television, on a major network, which qualified it as a significantpublic relations setback. "TV is a given now," Crouthamel said. "However, the fact that it was on national television precipitates our P.R. problem." So at last, fighting has become a problem worthy of the commissioner' s undivided attention , and it didn 't take Gavitt and his athletic directors long to respond to the negative P.R. generated by Saturday 's brawl at Pitt. Tuesday, after a lengthy telephone conference call between Gavitt and the three-member executive committee, the conference enacted standards the include a one-game suspension for leaving the bench during a fight and a one-game suspension for players ejected from games. And in a laughable, though characteristic, bit of self-promotion , Gavitt reminded us that the Big East "views its high visibility, which tends to magnify any problem areas, as an opportunity to be an innovative leader in addressing national trends." Never mind that the Big East, this "innovative leader in addressing national trends," has for years lagged behind just about every other major conference in giving its commissioner the power to suspend players for violent acts. What's important is that the Big East has taken definitive action that was long overdue. And Gavitt has also provided us with a trendy definition for fighting - "magnified problem area." The guy definitely missed his calling in life. He's a born P.R. director will have to make room for highly regarded teams that were upset in conference tournaments. It will have to make value jud gments on conferences, deciding whether a filth-place team in the Atlantic Coast Conference is more deserving than a second-place team in the Atlanti c 10. And it is guaranteed to make people - a lot of people - very, very upset. "This is probably going to be the hardest selection process we've ever had ," said Arnic Fcrrin, the chairman of the selection committee. by Robyn Norwood L.A.Times-Washington Post Service It is less than three weeks until the announcement of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament field , and the complex ity of the task is already becoming evident. There are the small considerations , such as thatBri gham Young does not play or practice on Sundays for religious reasons, and therefore must be put in the Southeast or the East regional , the twoihat will play games on Thursday and Saturday. ForBrigham Young, the interesting decision would come if the team advanced to the NCAA final , scheduled for Monday, April 4.

HAtt^ \ For what it 's worth, Temple is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its onl y national championship, which came in 1938. Templewent23-2 thatseason and won the National Invitation Tournament, then the national championship. Ed Boyle, a guard on the 1938 team , said the differences between the team he played on and this one were clear. "We wouldn 't be allowed in the same gym with them ," Boyle told the Philadelphia Daily News. "We wouldn t get 20 points off these kids. They don't lack for a thing, as far as I can see." Don Casey, Los Angeles Clipper assistant coach, coached the Owls for nine seasons, immediatel y before John Chancy. And although he said he believes parity makes it hard to choose a No. 1 team, or even a top 30, he thinks Temple easily belongs in the top 10, despite the weakness of the Atlantic 10, which Casey said is worse now than when he coached.

With that in mind , I parked in from if my television one evening for the ~ull run of coverage on ABC. While interesting, the program aiscd many puzzling questions. Such us ... Is Eddy the Eagle part of the Olym pics , or did I accidentall y switch chan ncls and get a Disney movie, liki 'Revenge of the Nerd"? Wh y must ABC cut away so fre rjucntly from the exciting, fast-paced .olorful spectacle to give us snippet )f the Olympics? I mean , just whci ?ou get into the flow of the commcr ;ials , why do they cut away for twe ninutes of luge or ice falling? After a couple hours , docs anyone )ut me tend to get the events mixed uj vith the commercials? Is Super G . aundry detergent? How doc; \BC squeeze four hours of commer ;ials into a three-hour time block? Wouldn 't the family and fans o; 3onnie Blair be just as proud of Bon lie if, instead of lhat gold medal, she cturncd to Champaign , III., will 'gold-ti pped , long-lasting Kodak bat cries, the official battery of the Olym lies"? I know figure skating needs all th< drama it can get, but do they have tc refer to that one twirl where thi woman 's head is down by the ice a "The Death Spiral"? What is the ac tual body count on that maneuver Would we love and respect the skater any less if they called that move by ; more honest term , like "The Bouffan Crusher"? Do ski companies line up arounc the block to pay Eddy Ihe Eagle not tc wear their skis? Why doesn 't Eddy the Eagle flj like the other ski jumpers? Are hi: ears loo big? Has he been taking ofi fro m the ladies ' tees? Why aren 't A Campanis and Jimmy the Grccl called in to offer theories? What 's the name of the color com mentator on Nordic skiing, the gcei who said, "The Swedes are flatter thar pancakes, they haven 't been able tc ski their way out of a wet paper bag". When the Swedes cranked it up in the 10-kilometer cross-country relay, why didn 't this commentator poini iut that the race was a real hum-dingei )f a barn-burning cliff-hanger? Wher he Swedes crossed the finish lint irst, shreds of wet paper bag cling ing o their suits, why didn 't Carl Cliche txhort, "How Swede it is!"? On those super-closeup camera ;hots during the medal ceremonies, :an' t the cameras zoom in just a little lit closer and fill the entire TV screen vith a teardrop and a freckle? Is this :inematic art or microbiology? Can'i ve see the pretty young woman 's :ntire face, or would lhat violate some :ind of AFTRA rule? Can you imagine how Jimmy .waggart would cry if he ever won i ;old medal? How about if he won lairs figure skating with Tammj Jakker? \ ThepeopIeofCalgary wantdesper kely to project a great image of thei city to the world, but why?

The Warrior 's Nan Wagner hit a three-pointer to pull within three at 63-60 with just under two minutes to play, but didn 't score the rest of the way as Bloomsburg iced it at the free throw line. Theresa Lorenzi had 27 points to lead all scorers while Nina Alston had a near-perfect game with 17 points , five steals, two assists and no turnovers. But the real story of the game was Elaine Wolf. Wolf didn 't see action until the second half but made the most of it , hitting four of fiveshots from the floor and her only free throw attempt for a total of nine points on the night. Bressi had nothing but praise for his freshman guard , "We are in pretty good shape as far as depth goes. Elaine Wolf did a real nice job , she hit five big points when it was a one point game. We gave her player of the game, she did a real nice job for us toni ght. She didn 't even get in until the second half." But in the end it was Alston and Lorenzi providing the punch , "Theresa and Nina played well again. Theresa grabbed some big rebounds down near the end of the game and she hit some key shots." Lorenzi also finished with eight rebounds to lead the team in that category. Carla Shearer and Karen DcLullo each had five. "We got a pretty good team effort , our depth reall y paicl dividends again. I' m happy with them , it is a nice way to end the season ," Bressi said of his bench. For East Stroudsburg, it was Tonia Lloyd leading the balanced scoring attack with 19 points. She had four rebounds. Amy Miller was hig h rebounder with 18 to go with her 13 points. Jaymc Bochmcr and Nan Wagner had 13 and 10 points respectively as the Warriors put four players in double figures. "She (Lloyd) played one of her better game against us toni ght ,she got a couple of baskets when I had my guards in there. We sacrificed to get a coupl e offensive points , but we just tried some things and they worked offensively but not defensivel y," Bressi said. Freshman Barb Hall had a quiet night with six points and three rebounds, but namely as a result of a fall she took in getting back on defense on a Warrior fast break. "She bruised her hi p a little ," Bressi said , "She'll be okay." While neither team shot exceptional from the floor, Bloomsburg shot 46 percent and East Stroudsburg by George Wadley for The Voice This past week saw the Bloomsburg University Ice Hockey Club' s regular season came to an end and their post season play began with a bang. The Huskies regular season ended on a semi-sour note as they settled for an 8-8 tic against Harrisburg Community College in a game which seemed lo be lucked away in the win column unti l about :57 seconds left in the game. The Huskies played the game like a fine-tuned engine, doing cvcrihing right wilh absolutely nothing going wrong. They attacked Harrisburg's zone aggressively and never let up on the pressure. Bloomsburgs performance was highli ghted by the T.J. Joyncr-Bob Weiss "Show "as they accounted for six of the Huskies eight goals (having three each) and had assists on the other two. The game began wilh Bloomsburg finding themselves down 1-0 after just 30 seconds of play. But they answered that goal 28 seconds later when Joyner scored his first of the night with an assist by Jim Kortnic. The rest of the period wint on wilh Bloomsburg applying more pressure but onl y coming up with one more goal from Kartnic , who put away a rebound off of a Mick Pclrulla shot. Harrisburg was able lo get a goal by the end of the period as it ended wilh the score 2-1. In the second period , Harrisburg found a brief weakness in the Huskies attack and put two goals past Bloomsburg goalie Mike Ponchez who, for the mosl part , came up big when needed. Being down 3-2 didn 't scale well with the Huskies. So then fireworks began as Bloomsburg scored four straight times beginning with Joyners scond goal and soon followed by Weiss' first goal. That seemed to be it for the period as the clock showed 24 seconds left. But Bloomsburg was still hungrcy for more. Joyner won the insueing face off back to defenseman Andy Wilson who dicn fed Pclrulla into Harrisburg's zone where he fired one past a stunned Harrisburg goalie. This left 17 second to go in the period. Again Joyner won the insueing faccoff to Kortic who then sent the puck across ice to Pclrulla who then found Joy ner streaking to the net to tip in the pass with six seconds left. This shot 44 percent, it was a rather clean game in terms of turnovers. Bloomsburg had only 12, with East Stroudsburg committing 20 miscues. Cofncidentall y, the numbers were exactly the same for personal folds, Bloomsburg committed 12 to East Stroudsburg 's 20. The Huskies hit on 88 percent (14-16) of their free throws, while the Warriors only connected on 44 percent (4-9) from the charily stripe. While East Stroudsburg is going nowhere, the loss dropped their record to 2-8, Bloomsburg, now 21-5, is preparing lo enter the conference playoffs. "We don 't play until next Friday night ," Bressi said, "We'll take a couple days off and regroup. We will try to put this part of the season behind us and start going one game at a time and go as far as we can." "We can 't lose our intensity ," Bressi said. "It comes down to a one game season. Its nice to finish the way we did. No matter what happens it has been a great year." Theresa Lorenzi scored a game high 27 points in the victory overEast Stroudsburg p h°'° by' ch"'' to'r that broke the record for wins In a row. Men hang on to p layoff hopes by Lincoln Weiss Staff Writer The B loomsburg Huskies kept their slim playoff hopes alive last night as they defeated the East Stroudsburg Warriors by a score of 80-64. Hockey club makes playoffs Senior guard Joe Stepanski played what could have been his last PSAC battle last Photo by Michele Young night. He had seven points including two three-pointers. straight game scoring binge sent Harrisburgs' temper sky hi gh as they began to lay cheap hits on the Huskies. One of the things Bloomsburg was worried about heading into the third period was fate. With their 6-3 lead seeming to be too comfortable against a strong team like Harrisburg, a team they have yet to beat this season, the Huskies let up a bit too much allowing Harrisburg to score five goals in the period and then fate took care of itself. Harrisburg scored the first two goals of the period before Weiss recorded his second of the night with 14:27 left making the score 7-5. Harrisburg came within one goal with 3:05 left and then pulled their goalie for a man advantage up front. Bloomsburg took advantage though as they netted what appeared to be the game clincher with 1:06 left whe Joyner skated the puck toward the empty net and gave it up to Weiss who tucked it in. The Huskies began to celebrate too quickly as they eased up and gave up two goals in the last minute of play forcing the game into overtime where both teams went scoreless. Bloomsburg entered the preliminary round of the NEPHL playoffs with high hopes as they squared off against Kings College, a game which decided the loser eliminated from the playoffs. Bloomsburg's confidence proved successful as they took this game fairly easily by a score of 5-0. The Huskies attack was led by defenseman Andy Wilson who scored two goals and assisted on two more. The first period ended in a scoreless deadlockbefore Bloomsburg decided to take matters into their own hands as they stormed oui in the second period striking quickly with two goals. The first coming from Jim Kortnic and the second from Wilson who blasted a slapshot from the point past a heavily screened Kings goalie. The Huskies got one more in the period again from Wilson who walked into the slot from his defensive point and slipped a wristshot by the Kings goalie. Coming into the third period hopeing to secure a shutout for goalie Mike Donchez, Bloomsburg dominated scoring quickly once again when captain Bob Zarko netted an insurance goal before Petrulla closed out the scoring on the night. Conchez recorded his second shutout of the season and looked very good as he and the rest of the Huskies get ready for a best of three showdown with Harrisburg beginning tonight at 7:15 at the Wilkes-Barre Ice-a-rama. The Huskies played a strong game and handled the ball well, which they have not done well all season. Also, the Huskies got strong play from their bench, especially sophomore Dallas Wilson. Wilson had eight points and caused some turnovers in the first half that spearheaded a 15-0 run midway through the firs t half and gave Bloomsburg a commanding lead. The Huskies also had strong games from Alex Nelcha and Dave Carpenter. Nelcha and Carpenter played hard under the boards and had 11 and 10 rebounds respectively. Bloomsburg caused the Warriors to turnover the ball many times in the game as East Stroudsburg coughed up the ball 23 times. Bloomsburg converted 11 times on those turnovers which helped them to build leads of as much as 19 and maintain those leads. The game started with a 9-3 Bloomsburg run , but the Warriors scored the next six points to tie the game about midway through the first half. The Huskies then went on a tear as they scored the next 15 points. Wilson was the catalist in this run as he scored six of those 15 points and caused a few turnovers. The Huskies scored on four straig ht East Stroudsburg turnovers and took a 249 lead with 7:32 left in the first half. East Stroudsburg refused to fold and went on a 10-2 run. The Warriors got strong play from their only legitamate star player Jonathan Roberts. Roberts, the second leading scorer in the PSAC, scored 11points in the first half including five points in that 10-2 run ,and pulled the Warriors to within seven points of the Huskies at 26-19 with 2:20 to play in the half. Both teams exchanged buckets the last two minutes of the half with Bloomsburg holding a 33-25 lead at the half. Bloomsburg tryed to pull away early in the second half by going up by 11 points early in the half behind a three pointed by Joe Stepanski. East Stroudsburg played spirited thoug h second half and would not let Bloomsburg run away with the game. Keith Carroll of the Warriors scored eight of his ten points in the second half to keep the Warriors in the game. The Warriors actually got to within six points with only 7:52 to play in the game. East Stroudsburg got this close by playing a totigh man to man defense and by hitting a few three pointers. A blow was struck to the Warriors comeback however when Roberts fouled out of the game with nearly seven minutes left to play. This seemed to rattle East Stroudsburg as Bloomsburg went on a 17-4 tear for the next six minutes and built a 19 point lead wilh only 1:38 left in the game. Matt Wilson helped in the run by scoring six points including some scoring off of missed one and ones by the Huskies. East Stroudsburg reverted to fouling, but the Huskies hit their free throws to never let the Warriors even think of trying to pull a miracle comeback, as Bloomsburg won the game 80-64. Matt Wilson led all scorers with 18 points and also grabbed seven rebounds for the Huskies. Jonathan Roberts and Joe Darling eached scored 15 points in the losing cause for East Stroudsburg. The Huskies move to 17-9 in their overall record and finish the PSAC season with a 7-5 record , while East Stroudsburg drops to 6-20 overall and 0-11 in PSAC play. Believe it or not, the Huskies, who were written out of the playoff picture after their loss to West Chester last week, still have an outside chance to make the last playoff spot, but the Huskies need some things to happen. First, West Chester must lose to Kutztown. They played each other last night. Second, West Chester must then beat Cheyney on Saturday night. If both things happen that would leave Kutztown as the PSAC East division winner, Millersville as the second place team, and Bloomsburg in a tie for third with Cheyney . The third place team and the last playoff spot in the East division would then be determined by a coin toss. The winner of that coin toss would then travel to Millersville on Monday night to start the PSAC East playoffs against the Marauders. Meanwhile, the Huskies have one regular season game left at Concordia (N.Y.) in a non-conference game. If Bloomsburg wins that game, it would give head coach Charlie Chronister his 300th win in his coaching career here at Bloomsburg.
