Johanson speaks of bones and history Heating project continues by Karen Trimbath for The Voice The orange, plastic fencing surrounding the front of the Bakeless Humanities Center seems to be the creation of an environmental artist. However, this area is part of an ongoing construction project lo replace wornout condensate pipes in order to increase BU's heating efficiency. Don McCulIoch, director of BU's Physical Plant and Energy Management said, "This project is very important. Right now, the campus' heating system is losing 22 percent of steam through pipes." He explained that BU's central boiler plant heats water using coal and discharges the steam through underground pipes. After heat is released to the campus buildings, the steam condenses and returns to the plant. According to McCulIoch, "The leaks in the condensate pipes let water escape. Ordinarily, the returning water is around 180 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit With escaping condensate, we must use fresh water which is 40-50 degrees. It takes more coal to heat fresh water, so it is inefficient." He estimates that $6,000 is spent each month for the extra coal. "We still consider this heating system to be excellent. We have the highest rating of all the universities operating on steam in this state. Heating with coal is one-third the cost of electricity. This savings is reflected in the tuition," McCulIoch said. The campus buildings will not be affected because the new pipes are laid directly over the old ones. The construction starts by the Waller parking lot, and extends to Bakeless and the roadway between North and Luzerne Halls. McCulIoch said a state bill was passed in 1980 providing $2.5 million for the reconstruction, but a contractor wasn't hired until 1987 because of governmental efforts to improve state prisons. "This slowed our plans ," McCulIoch said. McCulIoch said the project is on schedule should be completed by July 1988. ROTC: It's a gas by Gail Gamble for The Voice Bloomsburg University's Army ROTC gained practical experience on Tuesday, March 1, about nuclear, biological and chemical warfare protection. Cadet Robert Karnes, a senior chemistry major, taught the company about the history of chemical warfare. Since the Greeks first experimented with it, chemical warfare has affected civilians. During World War II, British school children had to carry protective masks. To allay their fears, artist Walt Disney designed a mask which looked like Mickey Mouse. After the historical review , the company split into their respective platoons for two stations. The first station donned the Mission Oriented ProtectivePosture, also known as the MOPP suit. Once a year, Army personnel must wear this suit for eight hours doing their usual duties. The second station taught cadets decontamination using the M13 individual decontamination kit which is used to decontaminate clothing, equipment and weapons. The M258 kit is used to decontaminate skin. BU Army ROTC attempts to teach cadets things that are both interesting and practical in the military. For more information call 389-2123.

Daughter believes dream by Gordon Ovenshine Slippery Rock Rocket News Editor The face, the mannerisms and rhetoric were familiar. And so was the message. Vestiges of the late Martin Luther King Jr. were apparent Tuesday night when his oldest child told a University Union audience that the ugly letters of discrimination still pester America. Yolanda King, actress, director, lecturer, told the 400 person gathering her father 's dream of establishing a society in which all people are considered equal remains unrealized. "We as black people and humanity have not reached the promised land," King said, mimicking her father. "We are still bumping into each other in the wilderness. And that magnificen t dream articulated and fiercly pursued by my father is still only a dream." King blamed many of the current social problems on bad fiscal and economic policies. Any country that spends 10 times as much on ways to destroy life than on educating its citizens is toying with destruction, she said. The dream must never be forgotten , she said. Students must get "up off their apath y" and remember the tremendous sacrifices that were made during the civil rights era (1954-1968), she said. She said she supported the decision to designate a national holiday in remembrance of her father, but insisted that its purpose should be to keep alive the memory of the civil rights movement in this country, not her father's birthday. "We must never forget that discrimination was at one time a very fiber of our government," she said. "Because certainly, what you forget, you are doomed to repeat." King said many contemporary college students don 't remember the tumultuous civil rights struggle. They don't remember the sitting at the back of the bus, the lynchings, the snapping dogs, the sneering fire hoses or the "white/colored-only" signs. "The movement rocked the whole world and brought the South, finally, into the 20th century ," King said. Fifty million people in this country are functionally illiterate, and still the Pentagon continues to spend $1 billion a day on defense , King explained. "And the perverted sickness of it all is that we still don 't really feel safe," she said. Our priorities are warped, she said. She added that basic reading and writing skills must be provided if Americans are to move out of the stagnancy that exists in our communities. Racism is not the only culprit of discrimination, King said. Greed - an obsessive need to be powerful - contributes. Six percent of our population owns and controls 70 percent of means and production while 35 million people continue to live at the poverty level, she said. "For far too many people - both black and white - it is not even a question of getting a piece of the pie, because by the time the pie gets around to them , th ere's nothing left in the pie plate but a few crumbs," she said. Fiscal stability and economic security will remain uncertain as long as we allow poor education and unemployment to run rampant through our nation , she added. King said black history and its contribution to world history should not be thought about only once a year - in February, the coldest and shortest month of the year. . "It is imperative that we know our history," she said. "For you really cannot know the history - the true story of America - unless you also know the story of black America." She urged students to get involved in organizations on and off campus that promote human rights. Quoting her father, she said, "Either we will learn to live together as brothers and sisters, or we will perish as fools." by Bridget Sullivan Staff Writer Anthropologist Donald Johanson, discoverer of the famous 3.5 millionyear-old fossil "Lucy", gave his lecture, "A New Perspective on the Human Family Tree" in Carver Hall Auditorium Monday night. Johanson discussed anthropological discoveries and how theories of human origin change as more discoveries are made. According to Johanson , Charles Darwin predicted that humans could possibly find their ancestors in Africa, home to the chimpanzee, which happens to be man's closest relative. A two-percent, genetic variance differentiates modern men and chimpanzees and gorillas, Johanson said. Raymond Dart first discovered the Australopithecus , considered by some scientists to be the "missing link" between man and ape, in Africa in 1925, Johanson said. He added that many scientists disagreed with this. But a Scottish anthropologist, Robert Broom, believed Dart's discovery was the "missing link". In Northern Transvaal of Africa , Broom found a fossil similar to Dart's A ustralopithecus that had many large chewing muscles which suggest it was a "specialized vegetarian."It also had a "fairly large brain and was walking," Johanson said. Broom named this fossil Australopithecus robustus. Renowned anthropologist Louis Leakey developed paleoanthropology, which is the study of and search Accounting students nominated for award The two students were chosen by the department to apply for the prestigious award. "It's an honor to be selected (to apply), because there are well over a hundred business majors in the junior class just at Bloomsburg," McClellan said.

Contras are backed by Josh Getlin LA. Times-Washington Post Service This Bloomsburg University ROTC member intends to set the trends by wearing this fashionable gas mask. Photo by Chris Lower House Democratic leaders, seeking to firm up support from wavering liberal members before Wednesday's showdown vote, announced Tuesday that a number of U.S. peace groups are backing the party's plan to provide humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan Contras. The endorsements should make it clear that the Democratic proposal, which will be voted on along with a Republican alternative, is "the lesser of two evils,"saidRep. David Bonior, D-Mich., the party's chief House spokesman on Central American issues. Last week, Democratic leaders were embarrassed when a scheduled vote on Contra aid was postponed after party liberals rebelled at the idea of sending even non-military aid to the rebels. Now, they are confident these members will support the $30 million package. "It's a question of voting for this proposal, which we think will further the peace process, or voting no and paving the way for another vote in Congress on military aid ," said Bonior. "Once that word gets out , we'll be able to make our point that much easier." The problem surfaced last month, after House Democrats narrowly defeated a White House aid proposal that included military aid. Speaker for human origins, Johanson said. In 1959, African exploration efforts shifted to Olduvai in Northern Tanzania , where Leakey's wife, Mary discovered A. boisei or the "Nutcracker" fossil , named so for its "huge chewing muscles?" Johanson said. Johanson proceeded to discuss his own expeditions and discoveries, including that of "Lucy." While walking in Hadar in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia on his way back to camp, Johanson saw a "piece of armbone" that his research team had not noticed protruding from a hillside. The skeleton he discovered would become known as "Lucy," after the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," which was playing during the team's celebration of the discovery. Lucy is classified as Austrolopithtecus Afarensis, named after Dart's discovery and the Afar Triangle. Johanson also talked about discovering of a 3.2 million-year-old adult skeleton that stood about 3.5 feet tall. Johanson said, "The arms are proportionately much larger than the legs," which indicated that it was probably climbing as well as walking. In 1974, Johanson 's research team discovered fossils of 13 adults and children, known as the "First Family." He said they died simultaneously, possibly because of a flash flood or hurricane. Johanson is the founder and current director of The Institute of Human Origins in Berkeley, Calif. Jim Wright, D-Tex., won the support of about 30 moderates on that vote after promising them that they would be able to vote on an alternative package of humanitarian assistance, including food , clothing and medicine. Since then, however, Democratic leaders have been trying to win the support of "nervous" party liberals. They persuaded several peace organizations long opposed to the Contras to endorse the Democratic package of $30 million in humanitarian aid, contending that a defeat of their plan would trigger a new White House request for military assistance. Student cited for alcohol A 20-year-old Bloomsburg University student was cited for underage possession of an intoxicating beverage Thursday, February 25. According to police records, Christopher Cassa was stopped on Old Berwick Road and given the citation by Patrolman Dave Edgar at approximately 9:50 p.m. for transporting a keg of Old Milwaukee beer. A person must be 21 years old to transport intoxicating beverages. According to the PICPA, the scholarship fund trustees will award ten scholarship of $ 1,000 and 20 scholarships of $500. Honorable mention awards of $100 will be given to students from about 75 state colleges and universities. The students should find out near the semester's end if they qualify for the scholarship money. Even if they don't, just being nominated is quite an accomplishment, McClellan said.

Americans love the sound of "America, the land of the free" and "Russia, the evil empire." The sad thing is the people in other countries once believed those statements. Unlike most Americans, most of these countries now see the truth . No longer is the United States looked at as the great free country. It is now looked at as an oppressing country that will do anything to anybody as long as it benefits itself. This view from abroad , unfortunatel y, is more correct today than most Americans like to believe. One good example of the United States oppressing for its own good is Pakistan . At one time Pakistan was a democratic country where people could make free decisions about who to trade with and who to work with. Even if this meant not dealing with the United States. At Large Another one bites the sacred dust by Ellen Goodman Editorial Columnist When Jimmy Swaggart fell from grace, the event resounded as loudly as a golden idol hitting a marble temple floor. The fall , like the rise of this evangelical, made for high televised drama. At its peak, he cried out, "I know that so many of you will ask, 'Wh y? Why?' I have asked myself that 10,000 times through 10,000 tears." Swaggart had preached mightily against sin , unforgivingly against weaknesses in his brother preachers and bitterly against pornography. "Pornography titillates and captivates the sickest of the sick and makes them slaves to their own consuming lusts...ensnares its victims in a living hell," he once wrote. It appears now he knew a good deal about the living hell. But it wasn't just Swaggart 's flock that asked "Why? Why?" as they found out the details - the motel strip he cruised regularly, the $13-an-hour motel room where he is said to have paid a prostitute to perform pornographic acts, all in the shadow of a billboard that reads, "Your Eternity Is at Stake." The most cynical and secular people I know seemed somewhat bewildered. Listing the sex-scandal ministers alphabetically from Jimmy Bakker to Marvin Gorman to Jimmy Swaggart, many of them asked, "What's with these guys?" In the week that followed , I watched two distinct sets of answers to that question and to Swaggart 's "Why?" emerge. They reveal a split in American Society that runs deeper even than the split in Swaggart 's life. A split between those who analyze human failings in the terms of psychology and those who analyze them in the terms of scripture. To the millions who worship in Swaggart's church and through his televised ministry, the minister lost a round in the battle between God and the Devil. To the secular millions who've absorbed psychoanalytic terms into their everyday vocabulary, he lost in a battle between the superego and the id. To the first group, he was a sinner. To the second group, he was screwed up. The first group described a struggle between the forces of light and darkness. The second described the subconscious urges that led to the motel strip where he was caught by his arch-rival. 1 FROM .' J J v^S The land of the evil empire MADD sends safety message To all BU Students Spring Break is ncaring and members of Florida Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are concerned about your safety during this time. We want you to enjoy all that our state has to offer and return home with memories of a pleasant vacation. I These two American cultures spoke in their own distinct languages. Even words like healing and counseling have different meanings in their dictionaries. If, for example, Jimmy Swaggart's wife had written to Ann Landers that her minister-husband had an obsession with pornography, she would have been directed to "seek help." But it would have been a very differen t sort than the "counseling" prescribed by the Assemblies of God. As distant as prayer is from psychotherapy. ¦The fundamentalist and therapeutic cultures in this country are not always crisply divided. Confession has much in common with what Freud called "the talking cure."One group's soul is the other 's psyche. Most of us are at least somewhat bilingual. The therapeutic language has infiltrated fundamentalist speech, the words of a moral code are rampant in a secular world. Fundamentalist Tammy Bakker described her use of contributionsfor personal shopping as "therapy." More than one secular supporter judged Gary Hart 's behavior as both a character and a moral flaw, two parts stupid, one part wrong. At their edges, feel-good fundamentalists and feel- good therapy offer the same promises. But between the hard-core groups, there are more than differences of vocabulary. There are conflicts as great as one's focus on the afterlife and the other's focus on the here and now. Swaggart himself railed against psychology as a modern devil . There are therapists, in turn, who accept everyone and everything except religious self-righeousness. The gap is particularly great in regard to sex, the centerpiece for the Bakker-Gorman-Swaggart trilogy. Swaggart said more than once, "Victory over flesh does not come easily." B ut no child of the Freudian ere would speak of victory over flesh as if Eros were the epemy of Psyche. Indeed Freud believed that trouble came when sexuality was in conflict with the spirit. The Swaggart story is the essence of a larger melodrama, played before two American cultures. One that thinks the preacher was led astray and another that think he's a neurotic mess. One thinks he can be saved and the other thinks he could use a shrink. And it isn't just one congregation in Louisiana that speaks in tongues that sound strange to outsiders.

I guess guaranteed rights are out. The men of the West have lost something of great importance. At one time, the United States had morals. We had values that we protected, for ourselves as well as for other countries. Somehow we have lost sight of our morals. Instead of protecting the right of people to live the way they want, we protect our own interests. Maybe someday the people of the world will once again look to the United States for leadership and inspiration .

Times-Washington Post Service Iraqi missiles rained down on Tehran Tuesday, hitting civilian centers in the Iranian capital and.apparently changing the character of the 7-ycar-old IranIraq War . Iraq said it fired at least 16 missiles at the city in 28 hours.It was the first time that ground-launched Iraqi missiles had hit the capital, and according to reports from Iran , at least 27 people were killed. Later Tuesday , Iran replied with at least three missiles fired into Baghdad. The barrage caused a number of casualties and destroyed houses and shops, an Iraqi military spokesman said. The Iraqi attack appears to involve new technology and a new strategy . In August, Iraq said that it had test-fired a missile capable of reaching Tehran , more than 200 miles from the frontier , but until this week the missiles had not been used in combat. Iraqi spokesmen said that the missiles were produced domestically, but some military analysts said they believed that the weapons wcre"supplied by the Soviet Union and were altered to some extent in Iraq." Radio Tehran said that Iran accused Moscow of supplying the missiles to Iraq . It said the Soviet ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and told that "this is not the first time American policies have been implemented against us wilh Russian weapons." Unconfirmed reports last year said that Iraq had acquired SS-12 missiles from the Soviet Union. The Iranians use Soviet-made missiles, apparently supplied by Libya and Syria. An Iraqi spokesman said that the missiles used in the latest attacks were Iraqi-made, with a range of 400 miles. He said that the attacks were a turning point and would avenge Iraqi war dead. Telephone reports from Tehran Tuesday described a grim scene, with airraid sirens wailing through most of the night and large areas of the capital closed off to pedestrian and vehicle traffic because of broken glass. As the sound of the exploding missiles reverberated through the city, supporters of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's revolutionary regime reportedly ran into the streets shouting "Allahu akbar!" (God is great). 'It was a ni ghtmare," said Ilnur Cevik, a Turkish newspaper editor who was visiting Tehran with Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Ozal. Members of the Turkish delegation said that the Iranians, apparendy believing that the explosions were caused by bombs dropped from aircraft rather than by missiles, fired anti-aircraft guns throughout the night. Iraq said that it suspended the missile barrage against the Iranian capital in order to allow the Turkish group to leave the country. But even at the airport, the Turks were forced to debark from their plane as the explosions resumed. Afterward , Iran warned the people of Baghdad to flee, vowing to take revenge soon for the missile attack. "Only the language of force can bring the Baghdad rulers to their senses, and we will demonstrate who has the real power," Tehran radio Quoted an Iranian military spokesman as saying. The attack on Tehran was the worst since a year ago, when the Iraqis attacked with fighter-bombers. The so-called war of the cities, which began in 1985, was suspended last year on Iraq's initiative. The attacks were resumed Saturday .Iraqi warplanes bombed an oil refinery in Tehran , prompting the Iranians to resume heavy shelling of Iraq's southern port of Basra. The Iraqis retaliated, and Monday the Iranians fired two missiles int o Baghdad , reportedly causing considerable damage to civilian areas. Iraq said Tuesday, in a communique, that its decision to use missiles against The Community Government Association awards a scholarship recognizing outstanding student leaders on campus.

Times-Washington Post Service Republican presidential candidate Pat Robertson said Tue sday he will seek to drop his libel suit against former Rep. Paul N. "Pete" McCloskcy, R-Calif., even though McCloskey has refused to recant his charge that Robertson used his father's political connections to avoid combat duty in the Korean war. Caugh t in a political bind as he faced the prospect of a long trial t hat is scheduled to begin March 8 "Super Tuesday" - Robertson indicated that he will ask U.S. District Court Judge Joyce Hens Green to dismiss the suit he brought against McCloskey more than a year ago here. When he filed the libel suit, Robertson declared that it was essential that he clear up the charges about his military service if he were to become president. "No man can serve in that capacity with an unresolved cloud over his own personal integrity regarding military service," he said. But in a Florida news conference, Robertson said the political calendar forced him to leave the questions unresolved. Otherwise, he would have found himself stuck in a court- room hearing witnesses challenge his patriotism and integrity at the height of the primary season. Theemergcnce last week of two 1lth-hour witnesses who strongly support the charge that Robertson skipped out of combat may have been another factor influencing his decision. While battling McCloskey's challenge to his integrity, Robertson has also found himself criticized for a series of charges on the campaign trail that he has been unable to substantiate. In the past two weeks, for example, he has said he knows there are Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, a charge he revived Tuesday. He also said Vice President Bush 's campaign may have leaked for political reasons the information about sexual misconduct that forced evangelist Jimmy Swaggart to give up his ministry and that Robertson's television network told President Reagan the location of U.S. hostages hidden in Lebanon. McCloskey 's lawyer , George Lehner, said McCloskey is "eager to go to trial" to prove that his charge against Robertson is true. He said McCloskey would likely oppose dismissal of the suit unless Robertson agrees to pay all the legal fees McCloskey ran up in the suit. Robertson said last week he would not pay "one nickel" of McCloskey's fees. Robertson has called the judge "patently unfair" for setting a trial date in the middle of his campaign. At a news conference Tuesday night in Orlando Robertson said, "I had a choice of either going to court and defending my honor and the honor of my father or else not keeping faith with the millions of people who asked me to be their president and I just couldn 't do that to them. There's too much at stake to spend it in court."

' , ; ' - Features Dreams necessary Contest available to writers to maintain sanity by Linda McLcod Staff Writer Dreams have forever fascinated the world and been a subject of interest to many great writers. Coleridge , Goethe, Stevenson , and Poe, among others made literature of their own dreams. They also recognized, long before the age of psychoanalysis, that dreams arc the language of the subconscious. Folklore has always told stories of dreams that come true , but now science has many well-authenticated cases. It is indisputable that the phenomena exists but the questions that remain are how and why? Do our' sleep ing minds have privilcdge to inconceivable dimensions of time other than the present in v. hi eh our waking bodies live. " An incident or ' a cire.!"-corr.inc true helped solve the Rec 3.-_~ Murder Case. In IS? Man.- Vj .r-.er; r.inawa> from her village in Suffolk . England with Will:. 1."- Corder. a farmer. Corder later became ir:\o> ec: with another woman , murdered Maria, and buried her under the floor of the bam. He wrote to Mari a ' s parents saying all was w el!. For a year , no one suspected a thing. Then one night. Maria ' s mother had a dream in which she saw her daughter ' s murder and burial. The dream was so vivid and alarming that she and her husband decided to go and check on Maria. They found the bam from the dream, tore UD the floor. .and discovered the decomposing body of their daug hter stuffed in a sack. Perhaps the most overwhelming fact of modem research is that we must dream to be healthy. Our bodies require dreaming just as they demand food and water. Anyone who is deprived of dreams suffers as severely as a person who is starved. In 1959, Peter Tri pp, a New York disc jockey attemped a publicity stunt which temporarily cost him his sanity. Tripp announced he was going to remai n awake for 200 hours . After 72 I • : Looking For I UNIQUE & • BOLD C A R D S ? ; hours , Tri pp began behaving strangely . He would roar with laughter at things that were not funny and take, offense at imaginary insults. Hallucinations followed. Tripp thought specks of paint on the turntable were insects, and imagined a doctor 's coat was made of worms. Tripp also became convinced that he was broadcasting from a building elsewhere in town , and that he had already finished his 200 hours and was being tricked into continuing to stay awake. Tripp was suffering from "gross mental illness " according to doctors. The illness is a result of sleep and dream dep rivation. The hallucinations he experienced were in fact dream imagery breaking through into waking consciousness. It was recorded that his hallucinations were most intense between midnight 3nd eight a.m. The disc jockey would have normally been asleep and dreaming between those hours. Each night, millions of people dream millions of dreams. Somemake no sense, some are terrifying, some are absurd, and some arc symbolic. Many dreams have had powerful ef fects upon their dreamers. So the next time you wake up from a dream , don 't simply dismiss them as meaningless. After all, dreams are the language of the unconscious and just maybe , your dreams could change the world.

Times -Washington Post Servuce The Eurythmics are once again gliding along on a storm of synthesizers and guitars , riding at a lyrical pace with gold in their pockets. The Eurythmics are part of the rock aristocracy for the time being. Their success over the past few years (starting wilh the hit single Sweet Dreams Are Made of This) has turned them into top concert attractions and they have responded with heightened enthusiasm , so heightened , in fact , that they are probably much better now in person than they are on record , which used to be their best area. Certainly, Sa vage is, relativel y speaking, no great shakes. It is a mediocre statement that sounds as if it was intended tc feed the market they have created. In other words, it sounds mechanical and a little strained. Nevertheless, it showcases the magneti c voice of Annie Lennox and the guitar flash of her partner Dave Stewart , and that is not all bad. Savage is, if nothing else, a great dance record . It docs not contain anything comparable to Sweet Dreams Are Made of This, and yet it moves with sure-fire locomotion. The texts of the songs are something else again. Most of the lyrics come off as elitist cynicism. Love is the cul prit in virtually every instance. In the Eurhythmies ' version of it , the conjugal life is fraught wilh pitfalls. The B-movie-script quality that marks most of the songs,mocks the very idea of romantic intimacy. In that respect, Sa vage is consistent wilh the rest of the Eurythmic's work. There is a fearsome disrespect for conventional roles in almost every cut on Savage. Shame , especially, takes on the idea of raised expectations generated Despite the construction on the Basketball courts, daring soles still take chances and Photo by Todd VanMtlcr ShOOt SOme hoops by Robert Hilb urn LUO QQ feL7M(o](£© gv l PSRC Wo men 's ©©sfciMMO BU us.

Time magazine later described Putnam as a "striking star whose lustrous soprano voices handles high notes with authority and whose acting is good enough for Broadway." Putnam's talented display is astounding to many. It was not until her sophomore year at the University of Michigan that she abandoned flute study for voice training. Even as a student she began attracting critical notice. After singing in Michigan's opera department presentation at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a critic for Musical America said she was "simply astonishing in dual roles..." Putnam holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Michigan. Since college, Putnam has performed in opera roles from Venice to San Francisco, in productions from La Bohcme and La Traviata to Mary, See OPERA page 5 Eurythmics climb rock charts : : \ \ ^TlJEElfr" Opera soprano Ashley Putnam will be the featured performer for the 12th annual Weis Cultural Endowment Performance at Susquehanna University. Putnam's performance is scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 at Weber Chapel Auditorium. There is no admission charge. The performance is being made possible by the Stella Freeman Weis Cultural Endowment, a fund established in 1976 by Sunbury residents Robert and Patricia Weis to bring critically acclaimed performing artist to the Susquehanna stage. Critics say that Putnam 's combination of vocal and theatrical gifts give her a unique presence in the opera world. Her range of repertoire encompasses everything from Mozart to the contemporary works of Virgil Thomson and Thea Musgave, with Donizetti , Bellini , Rossini, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss, and Janacek. When she tied for first place in the 1976 Metropolitan opera auditions, I I Musical America magazine reported that Putnam "sang with a very rare Workmen began placing road closed signs bright and early this morning.

Likewise, / Need a Man (the other choice track from the package) is a relentless indictment of exaggerated femininity.

Bruce Springsteen sat backstage at the Centrum arena with his wife, actress Julianne Phillips, chuckling about how he could ever have fouled up the words to that song. "Born to Run," a statement of identity and desire, has played a key role in every Springsteen concert since he wrote it in 1975. But when he cameout for the encore Sunday night at the second show of his new U.S. tour, Springsteen forgot the words of the opening line, stopping after "The day we ...." After joking with the audience, he startedagain and got it right. The reason for the muff, he explained backstage, was that he was concentrating so much on the spoken introduction, telling the audience how the song has assumed a new meaning to him over the years. "I wrote this song when I was 24 and it was about a guy and a girl who wanted to run and keep on running, " he said standing alone on stage, ready to play a new solo acoustic arrangement that changed the song from a youthful declaration of independence to a poignant remembrance of things past. "As I got older," he continued, "I realized how much that song was me and how much I didn't want it to end up being me. ... I wanted to make a home for myself somewhere, try and grow up a little bit. ... A home is a hard thing to find, and a hard thing to hold onto. ... Good luck in your search." In its revised form, "Born to Run" underscores one of the key messages of what may be Springsteen 's most personal concert approach. Instead of just talking about growin' up, he is also speaking of settling down, but he does the latter with an anxious realism and convincing warmth that do not violate the celebration and with a more physical and welltension that have been his trademarks rounded approach. Still, he felt the need to shake things in concert. up. "Basically, the way we've toured "I felt I had to make a major every time is that the shows grew and change," Springsteen said during an grew and grew," he said. "On every informal interview in his dressing tour, we added new songs to the old room. "If I wasn 't going to have songs ... and that felt completely natusomething different to say, it wouldn 't ral.

The Bloomsburg Players are a colorful theatre group on the BU campus. Their creative intellect comes together at the Haas Theatre for Art , which houses the organization 's office and "mental-mating" ground. The theatre's green room , where the player 's secretaries, Mimi Mikalac and Laura Spccht, are always found diligentl y at work, provides the background for our discussion of the Bloomsburg Players. Their primary goal , besides working on the exoti c costumes and set designs, is to attract more students into their world. This organization is an inherent part of the campus society and involves itself in every department of theatre work. "It docs not function in a centralized manner," Mimi says, "Its more individualistic and has a participa tory role for each of its members ." Players expose the students to a professional environment of theatre work. What are the various benefits of joining the players? "Not only can you express your creativity," Laura adds, "but one can also train oneself in any department of theatre." Is it more of an exploration into the world of theatre for students? "Yes," according to Mimi , "wc have a wide range of specialized activities in which the students can involve themselves. Costume and set designing, theatre management, public relations and advertising." Besides completel y immersing themselves in theatre, I wondered what else they derive from being such a closely knit family of artists. "Friendship," came the prompt reply. The staff's consistent guidance has helped to develop a bond between all Players members. Karen , Jody, Jack and Prof. Sato arc some of the names which always bring a smile for the players. They form such an inherentpartof the group that it 's often difficult to realize that they arc so much more experienced than the students. Sunglasses were a mandatory part of everyone 's wardrodc this past week because of the warm, sunny days which made us all yearn for SpringBrcak. One more day ...have p h°'° *» *»!> &¦''¦«•<¦« a good one! This kind of friendship fascinates many new players and delights all those who jo in. The Players have staged several successful plays in the past , such as Glass Menagerie, Streamers, Wiley and the Hairy Man , Hamlet and Doors. "We are very proud of these productions," said Mimi. She is also proud of being a student director, a job that will expand her talents to the fullest. Command over decision making on full-length plays is more of a challenge to her and very fulfilling. Why don't the shows attract more attendance? "Students have come to expect that theatre is for a few selected arty people and, that is not the truth ," says Laura , "If you can go and watch a movie, you can surely enjoy the theatre as much." As I walk out of the door,I see Laura writing on a poster for the next Players meeting, "Come and join us...we are too cool." I accept this without a grudge. For, as Henri Frederic Amiel , "The great artist is only a simplifier. " BU students will be smiling a lot more often now if the weather remains the way it has been the last several days. However, weathermenwa rn that wc shouldn 't get too used to warm days yet. Photo by ToddVanMeter From the Glovebox 1988 cars have continued an old concent by Glenn Schwab Features Editor In the Feb. 29 issue of The Voice J. mentionc din my column the "more-bang-for-less-buck" approach to manufacturing performance cars. This was a popular concept during the mid- tolate sixties, enabling younger buyers (the most interested market) to purchase a fast car , within their budgets. "More-bang" spawned such great cars as theFord MustangBoss302,ChevyNovaSS 327/350 and Dodge Dart. But this idea died out with performance cars in general in themid '70s, victim of thegovernment's ever-tigh tening emissions regulations/Compression ratios and hersepower ratings dropped flower and lower as automakers scrambled to meet emissions requirements, making performance an unknown word. By 1979,the availability of a big-block V8 in lany car had been a moot point for three years, afterthe passing of the 1976 Trans Am's Super Duty 455. The most potent mill was the Corvette's 230 hp. 350, with the Formula Firebird's 400 coming in a close second at 220 hp. But these cars were hardly in the "more-bangfor-less-buck" range.The 'Bird retailed forjj$6,380 and a base Corvette set the buyer backj$13,140. Performance started to make a comeback in 1982 with the reintroduction of the Mustang GT. Even though it's 302 V8 developed only 157 hp., the GT was a sure sign that the auto industry knew there were still people out there interested in a quick car. The Mustang's engine gained more ponies every year, topping out at 210 hp. in carburated form for 1985. Electronic fuel injection became standard in 1986, with the little 302 climbing to its present 225 hp. in '87. With the rebirth of performance also came renewed interest in "more-bang-for-less-buck", because the auto industry knows that there are s'ill those of us who arc fascinated at the prospect of going from point A to point B in as little time (and at as little cost) as possible. Ford was among the firs t to recognize this by making the power of their H.O. (Hig h Output) 302 available in the no-frills Mustang LX body as well as in the hi gher-priced GT model. A base 1988 5.0 liter LX sells for around $10,600, some $2,100 less than its GT stabler.iate. Ironicall y, the lower-priced LX is actually a better perform er than the GT. It doesn 't have the 300 or x> extra pounds of acceleration-robbing weight , iuch as acro-skirts and other gingerbread , that the GT model is saddled with. This enables the LX to do 0-60 in a quick 6 seconds and top out around 145 mph , figures that are very close to those of a new Corvette, but at a third of the price. These factors make the '88 5.0 liter LX the Ix^st American performance buy around. ¦ M t i t. }-. -i ... t...'< ¦ -. ' Ford isn 't the only manufacturer.with the lowbuck market in mind. Chevrolet and Pontiac are also offering affordable performance machines for 1988 - the Camaro Sport Coupe and Formula Firebird. But , as usual , Pontiac docs it better. Both cars retail around $13,800 but this price equips the Firebird with a healthy 215 hp. TPI (Tuned Port Injection) 305 V8 while the Camaro is stuck with a 170 hp. version of the same engine with the lesser Throttle Body Injection (TBI) setup. The 'Bird also comes with wide 50-series Goodyear Eagles and a 140-mph speedometer, more suited to the car's acceleration abilities than the old 85-mph unit. The Camaro's only advantages are in the looks department, in the form of lower body aero moldings gained fron the now-defunct Z/28. With the more powerful engine, the Firebird turns the quarter-mile in a fairly respectable 14.9 seconds, three-quarters a second faster than the L03-equipped Camaro. Though the Sport Coupe is Chevy's only lowbuck performance car, Pontiac offers two more in this field, a Formula version of the two-seaterFiero and the Sunbird GT Turbo. The Formula Fiero comes in at around $ 11,400, equipped with a 2.8 liter fuel-injected V6 rated at 135 hp. and sporting a rear spoiler and large Formula graphics on the doors. Going from 0-60 in 8 seconds may not sound like blistering performance, but it's pretty good for a car weighing in at 2,775 pounds equipped with only a small V6. ... With a price in the neighborhood of$13,900,the little Sunbird GTTu rbo is expensive for its size, but for those who want the economy of a four-cylinder with the power of a V8 the Sunbird GT is the way to go. It 's 2.0 liter 4-cylinder pumps out an impressive 165 hp, booting itpast the quarter-mile at 84.11 mph. in 15.68 seconds. As long as the folks at Detroit and Dearborn keep offering cars like these, the low-buck performance market will no doubt continue to grow for years to come. BU professor develops new training system for industry training package for new employees. Bailey said this opportunity to mix theory with hands-on practice gives students valuable experience. This exeprience brought the Apple Corporation to campus two weeks ago to interview nine students in the program. "We were the only school in the country chosen for interviews," Bailey said. "The fact that they came to Bloomsburg meant a lot to me." Some students interviewed will be invited to Coopertino, California for , developed by Another program level is for entry students graduate training for high school students. It is used by the Harrison School District in Colorado Springs , Colo. Industry would like to use this program as a by Tom Spock for The Voice By combining computer and video technology, Bloomsburg University Professor Harold Bailey has developed a useful training device for education as well as for industry. Interactive video, the integration of computer screen text and graphics with audio-visual materials, provides an individualized environment for trainees, while saving employers money. Bailey, director of Instructional Systems development, said, "The purpose of the programs is to provide training in a more efficient and costeffective way than they have been done in the past." These instructional programs started with work Bailey developed for Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, and have become a major emphasis in the university's instructional technology curriculum. Some of the Geisinger programs include training for nurses who will work in intensive care units and instructional programs for paramedics and emergency medical technicians. All the training materials are developed in the university's graduate program of instructional technology by using interactive video as a vehicle to supply training modules for different purposes. Some other educational programs include poison prevention for four to seven year olds and AIDS education for middle school children. Interactive video also provides useful training for industry. Textron Inc., also of Danville, will have a program developed to train employees on a computerized milling machine. Before the program, workers would be sent away for instruction. "Now," Bailey said, "the program should train more people in less time with less expense." from page 4 year's "Tunnel of Love" album, a more delicate, sparsely arranged and personal work, was a deliberate step from the larger-than-life symbolism of his massively successful previous album, "Born in the U.S.A." "I think the ("Tunnel of Love") album just sort of happened on one hand , and at the same time I was interested in personalizing my music. It's just a natural thing you have to do. You put something out there, it gets pulled in and taken up and becomes part of the culture and part of people's lives. And then you have to re-invent yourself. I felt that made sense after 'Bom in theU.S.A." Springsteen says he never got caug ht up in trying to match sales figures of "Bom in the U.S.A." "The main thing you've got to stop worrying about is how much the record's going to sell. My main concern was this: I want to make the best record I can , and I want to help that record find its audience, whatever that is. "Maybe 'Bom in the U.S.A.' found an audience that was what, 16 million or something, and 'Nebraska' found it at 800,000. The important thing to me, which was one of the reasons behind thinking of doing this tour, was that I really felt that the 'Tunnel of Love' record was one of my very best records, and I said, 'Look, I just want to make sure this record finds its audience.' " Springsteen seemed extremely comfortable sitting on a sofa with his wife in the dressing room area, a picture that seemed to contradict the speculation that "Tunnel of Love's" songs of troubled romance reflected signs of trouble in his own marriage. About the album, he said: "I didn't startout with something that wasautobiographical. Some songs are stories, some are more a part of my life. The main thing I tried to do is find real people in the songs. You have to make them live and make them be, and then you have a song." the next round of interviews. These positions include full-time employment and internships. Another company on campus at the same time was the Lancaster based ISC Educational Systems. The company came specifically to recruit students for internships.

I Finom the Wrestling Room by Mary Ellen Spisak Staff Writer Call it dedication , call it devotion, call them the Bloomsburg University Wrestling team. This year "has been one of the most successful and satisfying seasons," says Head BU Wrestling Coach Roger Sanders. Sander 's 16th season achieved a 12-5-1 overall record this year, and is 4-1-1 in the Eastern Westling League. The coaches have trained and projected an attitude that teaches their grapplers to never give up! It is evident in the wrestlers that have left BU, and have left there winning ways behind. Names such as "Shorty" Hitchcock, Rick and Rock Bonomo, just to name a few. But it is in the 1987-88 team that we sec the future NCAA champions. This fact is verified by Dave Kennedy ranked 9th at 126 lbs., Dave Morgan ranked 6th at 150 lbs., Mark Banks ranked 10th at 158 lbs. and Ron Ippolite ranked 12th at Heavyweight. And the new faces seem to show the same potential. Tommy Kuntzleman proves to be at his best this year. Placed in the starting lineup, Kuntzleman has done a tremendous job at 142 lbs. In the recent match vs. Penn State, he copped a 7-6 win over junior Rob Mcloy. Scott Brown proved his po- tential on the mat has been steady and consistent. Wrestling at 177 lbs. in the match against Penn State, he used quick and agressive moves for a draw with his opponent. Some other names to look for are Tony DcFlumeri, Ron Critchley, Roger Dunn , Tim Casey, Lenny and Rich Cory. These wrestlers present Bloomsburg with a promising future. They are dedicated , hard working and eager to carry on the winning tradition here. In the last match of the season, Bloomsburg met up with top ranked Penn State. Nelson Field House could have exploded with excitement as the Husky Grapplers won 5 matches and had a draw. It was the Huskies who scared the Lions and dominated the whole match. With everything going so well , what could possibly go wrong? Well , a stalling call on the wrong person atHwt. in the3rd period with 12 seconds to gojust might do the trick. Yes, it 's true the unfairness of one referee Robert Pankakc ended the match in a tic. Let me emphasize the fact that Penn State TIED US and not the other way around! Every wrestler performed in top condition , with only excellence in mind. It was truly a match to see, and if you weren 't there, you missed it. You missed your last Why our ice hockey team had no chance Jim Fisher for The Voice The United States Olympic hockey team arrived home form Calgary without a medal this week. This was a disappointing performance compared to the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at Lake Placid. But were we really good enough to compete with the international hockey powers of the Soviet Union , Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Canada? Dave Peterson's squad lacked international experience but didn't lack talent. Brian Leetch , Lane MacDonald and Craig Janney will star in the NHL. the athletes don 't have the option of playing professional hockey. The elite of these nations end up playing for the standing national team.Unlike theU.S. amateur players who play together for nine months to a year, the elite of other nations play together on the average of two to three years. Imagine a U.S. lineup of defenseman Rod Langway, Chris Chelios and Mark Howe , goaltender John Vanbresbrouck and an offensive of Pat LaFontaine, Jimmy Carson and Neal Broten playing together for a couple of years. This example can be compared to any other national team. Peterson tried to play a European style of game to accomodate the bigger ice surface. The only way the U.S. will be able to compete on a international level is to fund amateurs for more than one year and maybe even take U.S. born players out of the NHL. Scott Fusco 'was the only Olympic team member without an NHL club. This leaves us to the question of a standing national team. After the 1980 gold at Lake Placid, amateur hockey loomed all across the United States. Ametuers coming out of high school or college wanted to As far as right now a "Miracle on play where the money is, the NHL. Ice"can not be expected until changes In theSoviet Union , the eastern bloc are made in the American program of nations and Scandinavian countries, amateur hockey. chance to see the Husky Grapplers end their season in the best way possible! I really doubt the ranking and superiority of Penn State now. Just because a team was ranked 6th , does not irran that they should be even considered to beat us. Never underestimate the power of the Husky Grapplers, and it can never be said we give up. It has been a season to remember for Coach Sanders, Coach Poff and Coach Marlucci. They arc the driving force behind what is thcbestwrestling team to continue the tradition. The wrestlers have every reason to be proud of their team, but most of all , themselves! Congratulations also is extended to Hwt. Ron Ippolite who has completed a successful, and devoted season. The Husky Grapplers "pin to win " and have certainly become one of the feared competitors on the mat. The Bloomsburg wrestling team is going to face a tough road ahead as Uiey attempt to dethrone defending EWL champion Penn State. ¦ Photo by Chris Lower Laker star gives students Magic touch Laker publi cist Josh Rosenfeld dropped a box in front of Johnson that high school the contained 200 lettersfrom WestchThe kid on stage at auditorium is a big man on campus.

(It would be a tossup, Magic said.) -Another asked him to name the NBA' s toughest player. (Larry Bird he answered - and the kids booed.) The master showman didn 't miss the small touches, either , recognizing the school' s highl y rated boys and girls basketball teams, and star forward Zan Mason by name. He gently chided a questioner named Andre, joking about him being a lady killer. "I see the comb in your pockdt, Andre ," Johnson said , mimicking the boy combing his hair between classes. Andre and the other kids roared with laug hter. Another girl wanted to know if Magic could dance "the cabbage patch ,"but instead he asked thekids to do it. They closed out the show that way - the basketball star leading rh ythmic clapping and the students waving their arms and wriggling their shoulders. The adoration continued backstage, where one girl gushed after reaching over to stroke Magic's hair. Others offered phone numbers and addresses, even marriage proposals. Magic responded with demure kisses and hugs. A talk about drugs and school work would have gotten old fast, students said, if the message had not come from Johnson. "No. 1, he is from the world champion Los Angeles Lakers," said senior Sherri Johnson , who interviewed the guest for the student newspaper, The Comet. "No. 2, he's a people person . He's outgoing. He's funny. He can relate to people and enjoy people. He doesn 't say 'Don 't do this and don 't do that.' Johnson , 28, acknowledged later that there was one dent in his message about academics: he dropped out of Michigan State University after his sophomore year. "I didn 't finish because the opportunity was there for me," Johnson said. "If there is a great opportunity for them to make money a legal way to make money - then I would say, 'Take it.' " But he says he still intends to graduate, and when he does, "I think the message will be stronger. I'm going lo get the degree. That will put everything to rest."

Why would a young man on his way to big time Division I football decide to fool around with drugs? Wh y would someone with so much going for him just throw it away? Yes, I am on my soap box. So what? In case none of you people read page seven of The Voice, I would like to explain myself. A few weeks ago, a high school football player, alledgedly dealing drugs, died of a cocaine overdose. His name was Rico Lcroy Marshall. He was 18 years old. He dealt with drugs. Now he is dead. Oh , he was a great guy. He drove an old car. He would split the cost of a movie with a date. He wore fashionable clothes , but they weren 't lavish. He was on his way to the University of South Carolina to play football. "He wasn 't the type that was concerned about money," a fri end commented about Marshall. Unfortunately, he was the type that dealt drugs. Basically, it happened like this. At 1:30 a.m. on a Saturday night , two officers in a marked cruiser were making a routine sweep through the 1400 block of Nova Avenue off Marlboro pike in Capitol Heights, less than a mile from the District of Columbia line. They saw a young man standing next to a car and taliking to its occupants. He looked up, saw the marked car and immediately ran off and the car sped away," Cpl Bruce Gentile, spokesman for the police said. "He ran almost simultaneously into the arms of two uniformed officers on foot, they stopped him , searched him and found six empty glassinc envelopes and approximately $150 in currency." They didn 't find any drugs on him , so they had no reason to arrest him. Two hours later, he was dead. It seems that he had swallowed six small chunks of crack, a cocaine derivative, when the officers approached . The time that elapsed between the encounter with the police and the time of death is consistent with the absorbtion rate into the bloodstream when a drug such as crack is swallowed. So, if he got caught, he figured he could get off if he swallowed it. Smart move. If this isn t bad enough, after his death you have his old teammates volunteering to take blood tests. "I think we should have drug testing. It would be a big step for Forestville. It's too bad that we had to wait too long before this kind of ting had to happen," jun ior Torrence Montgomery said. Great. That makes a lot of sense. If he wasn't using drugs, like most tend to believe, then tell me how a drug test is going to do any good. The problem is not the schools. They could make mandatory drug testing a way of life. The problem is not the streets. A strong person will say "no" if taught to do so. So the problem is - the parents. A parent who has their son arrested two months earlier for possession of cocaine and does nothing about it is the one at fault. And what did Marshall's father say after his son's death? "I just want to bury my son. My son knew God. He's in His hands." What inspiration from a man whose son is dead. I don 't do drugs. Neither did Leroy Marshall. He only dealt them. For all intents and purposes, I could be the one dead. Dealing is one thing, taking them is another. A person who takes drugs is more likely to overdose than one who only deals in them. So for all intents and purposes, it could have been you. Bloomsburg women headed to PC playoffs Huskies preparing to face IUP in semi-final s The Bloomsburg University women 's basketball team will face Indiana (Pa.) in one semifinal game in the Pennsylvania Conference (PC) Championships this Friday, March 4. The contest is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will precede the other semifinal game at 8:30 p.m., which will pit host Clarion against Millcrsvillc. The championship game is set for 8 p.m. the following evening, Saturday, March 5. The Huskies (21-5, 10-1) have had several days off since defeating East Stroudsburg, 73-60, last Wednesday in the final regular-season game. Coach Joe Brcssi's club won its first outright Eastern Division title and has already set a pair of school records for victories in a season (21) and consecutive wins (11). Among those 21 wins is a 67-61 triumph at Indiana , which occurcd on Jan. 5. Bloomsburg is among the national leaders in team defense allowing only 59.1 p.p.g. and is limiting its opponents to just 35.8 percent shooting from the field. The Huski es are scoring an average of 75.4 p.p.g. and shooting at 48.0 percent from the floor including 40.3 from three-point range. The club is also shooting 65.2 percent from the foul line. The defen- sive average, field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage all lead the PC, while the offensive average and free throw percentage rank second and third, respectively, in the conference. Junior All-Amcrican candidate Theresa Lorcnzi leads the team in scoring averaging 24.2 p.p.g., which ranks her second in the conference and among the top five in the nation among NCAA Division II schools. She has made 281 of 504 field goal attempts for a percentage of 55.8, which is the confernece's third-best individual shooting percentage. In additioin , Lorcnz.i has pulled down an average of 5.1 rebounds per game , and she leads the squad in steals wilh 62. Freshman Nina Alston has enjoyed a fine first season since becoming a starter and is the onl y other Bloomsburg player averaging in double figures scoring 12.4 p.p.g. She is the club' s top three-point threat as she has made 21 of her 47 attempts , 44.7 percent , from beyond the 19'9" line. Other regulars for the Huskies include seniors Carla Shearer (6.3 p.p.g.) and Amy Wolf (5.3 p.p.g., 6.5 reb.), sophomore Karen DcLulIo (3.1 p.p.g.) and freshmen Barb Hall (9.1 p.p.g., 8.2 reb.), Donna Cooper (5.7 p.p.g., 5.2 reb.), Elaine Wolf (5.3 p.p.g.) and Becky Pigga (3.1 p.p.g.). All nine players have performed in at least 22 of the team's 26 contests this season. Indiana (15-13,8-4), under secondyear head coach Jan Kigcr, reached Morgan has wrcstlcdatl50 and 158 pounds throughout the season, but will wrestle at the lower weight for this weekend's tourney.

He was a thirdplace fin isher in the PC toumeyand is making his first appearance in the EWL tournament. Supsic 's main challenges will come from Penn State's Ken Chertow and Lock Haven's Craig Corbin as they are the favorites in the weight class.
