And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immuned to your consultations they 're quite aware of what their going through. DavidBowie Classic books open American minds by Lisa Cellini Ne ws Editor Universities are depriving students of classical literature and are not properly educating American minds, liberal education advocate Professor Allan Bloom said during his lecture "Liberal Education and the Political Community" on April 7 in Carver Auditorium. Wielding a New York Times bestseller entitled 'The Closing of the American Mind" , which criticizes weak collegiate curricula, Bloom said that theabsence of liberal education at universitieshas "assumed the proportions of a crisis academically." Bloom argued that narrow career specialization , which opposes liberal education , causes students to ignore life's meaning. A liberal education teaches people how to "answer the questions, 'Howoughtl to live? What is the good life?' " Bloom said, citing classical authors like Homer and Shakespeare as appropriate informational resources. According to Bloom, a professor of philosophy and political science at the University of Chicago, reflections and disputes about life's meaning should take place at universities. "We are products of thoughts. Unless we think ourselves, we will be victims of others' thoughts," he said, criticizing universities which fail to educate students through classic books. Bloom also blamed the crisis on dogmatic modern relativism, an ethics theory maintaining that the basis of judgment is relative, and differs according to events and people. Bloom called the theory the "epicenter of our educational storm," and blamed "radical egalitarians" of the 1960s for advocating detrimental educational curricula changes. Their contemporary counterparts try to replace classical literature with "affirmative action" literature, according to Bloom, who said, "Books are important because they are the enemy. White, western, male... books areinstruments of dominance... so the argument goes. Relativism is deadly to higher education," he said, claiming that books should be read at universities for their informational value rather than to appease special interest groups. Cultural relativism, which tailors moralities to individual cultures and eras, deprives people of a sound, common foundation , said Bloom, adding, "Relativism implies that there is no morality. Society's laws and beliefs have no foundation." Classical literature acts as that moral foundation-andtransgresses all cultures, Bloom said. Moral decisions are "narrow and superficial if (people) have no depth with which to work,"he said, adding, "If books were a part of our lives, we could communicate more easily." Emphasizing a need for higher education values courses won 't solve the intellectual crisis, according to Bloom, who said, "The agreement about the need for values is too easy ... it can't be taken seriously."The word "value" itself is linguistically problematic and ambiguous because it implies neither good nor bad, and is typical of relativism, he said. Because of this pervading theory, Americans are "comfortable with the unexamined life Socrates said was not worth living," Bloom said, calling this attitude "easy-going nihilism , or Nihilism American style." Although not optimistic for education's immediate future, Bloom asserted, "Many Americans have respect for higher learning." However, he added, "Intellectual superiority is both neglected and assaulted. We crave excellence, but we can 't endure exclusivity in excellence."According to Bloom, the word "elitism "is considered a vice or crime in a democracy. A "theoretical life", which complements liberal education and encourages pondering life's important questions, "smacks of elitist in an egalitarian society and useless in a utilitarian society," he added. "You have to think to live. We are somehow rational animals, and somehow, we have to give an account of ourselves. A large composition of being happy with ourselves is understanding ourselves,"he said, which he clai med could best be done by reading classical literature. Focusing on Bloomsburg University , he said , "It is appropriate for me to be here. This is one of those institutions trying to pursue liberal education ." However, comparing BU with the heated curricula debate involving America 's top 20 to 30 universities, he said , "Bloomsburg University is nol connected to the cutting edge of contemporary moral concerns." f Dukakis locked' in two-way race for national Democratic nomination Chinese culture featured during alumni weekend Bloomsburg students enjoy the sunny weather at the beginning of the week. Many studentsmoved their studing outside in an effort to soak up asmuth SUnaspOSSiblC. Michael Dukakis, governor of Massachusetts, is locked into a twoway race for leadership of the national DemocraticParty in the fall elections, according to Bruce L. Rockwood, a local Dukakis coordinator in Columbia County. "Mike has experienced being attacked from all sides before and come through," Rockwood said yesterday. "After serving one term as governor, Mike was challenged in the 1978 primary by two candidates who claimed he was not liberal enough, and one who said he was too liberal. "He narrowly lostrenomination to the single conservative candidate Ed King. "Four years later, after the public got tired of corruption and incompetence in the King administration, the State Convention nominated Dukakis and he went on to win the primary and the next general election s with enormous majorities. "He had learned how to understand and respond to the needs of the broad center not only of the Democratic party, but of the people as a whole, with an emphasis on economic development, promoting entrepreneurship and state cooperation with business and labor. "He was not alone in making the economy turn around in Massachusetts," Rockwood said. "Without his leadership the turnaround would have taken a lot longer, and been a lot less pervasive. "Mike made the difference between a simple cyclical upswing, and a surge in development that reached into the least successful parts of the state, setting an example which would be important in developing a national economic strategy to benefit regions which have suffered a long-term decline in business and jobs, including northeastern Pennsylvania." Rockwood, who served three times as a local caucus delegate to the State Democratic Convention in Massachusetts, and was first elected as a Dukakis delegate when Dukakis made his comeback in 1982. He said Dukakis's record has been misrepresented by national media to fit a stereotype about northern liberals" that is simply false and reflected shoddy reporting. '"The Duke,' as he is sometimes called by his supporters, has close relationships with the business community, and has been responsive to the concerns of moderates and blue collars workers in the state," Rockwood said. "From business development loans, to his consensus approach to health insurance for all workers, to providing support for highway extensions and exits for regional industrial parks, Dukakis has attempted to bridge the gap between the ideal and the practical in a way that meets the concerns of all of his constituents." Bruce and Susan Rockwood were both invited as Dukakis supporters to follow-up workshops at Worcester Slate College in 1982 and 1983, at which Dukakis and his cabinet presented Iheir legislative agenda, conducted panel discussions, and solicited input for state government from the grass roots. "Mike recognizes the importance of building government from the people up, and listening to his followers after the election as well as before it, and that is something that impresses us as setting him apart from the other candidates," Rockwood said. Susan Rockwood said "his campaign is perhaps the only one that fully integrates women into policy making and decision making levels. "Dukakis ' campaign manager Susan Estrich is a professor of law at Harvard University, and author of the book Real Rape ," she said. Dukakis lieutenant governor is his former Secretary of State Evelyn Murphy. One minor bonus of his election as President will be the first woman Governor of Massachusetts," she added. Nationally Dukakis holds a slight delegate lead over Jesse Jackson with Albert Gore and Paul Simon ,who suspended his campaign last week, far behind with little chance of catching up. "Mike has been endorsed by Sen. Bill Bradley of NJ., who is widely respected here in Pennsylvania by our own political leadership," Rockwood said. "Mike's success in the Pennsylvania primary April 26 will stand or fall noi on endorsements, but on individual Pennsylvanians coming to know the man as he really is, and respecting him as the most experienced, competent and committed candidate, capable of giving us eight years of honest government in Washington and the nation , something for which America is long overdue." "Gore misrepresents himself as a conservative in this race, when in fact he has an extremely liberal voting record compiled by the ADA, Rockwood said. "In terms of honesty and record on the issues, the race is between two strongest candidates, Jackson and Dukakis, and of the two, Dukakis has the better claim to representing the broad center of the party, as well as the agenda management skills to deliver for all of the people when he is chosen our next President." To help on election day April 26, and in the fall campaign for president, the public can contact ColumbiaMontour County Coordinators Bruce and Susan Rockwood, and Shirley Davis. The public can also call the national campaign toll-free number, 1-800USA-MIKE. Food drive benef its Columbia county byLauraSpecht StaffWriter Members of Psi Chi collected food for needypeople in Columbia County Saturday. The National Honor Society for Psychology collected food in the seven residence halls, at local food stores and from members of the community. Members decided to choose this project for its benefet to Columbia County. "We were try ing to think of a project to do and we decided on the food drive," said Joe Zajac, president of Psi Chi. Zajac, a certified Red Cross instructor, knew the donated food would be evenly distributed throughout Columbia County and would be kept within the county. Other members who donated their time and energy towards making the food drive successful are: Deb Klinger, Vice-President, Dee Dee Waddell, Secretary, Keshil Whiteleather, Treasure. Psi Chi members,Jen Giliiard,Julie Herman. Doreen Dietrich, Lynne Starkeyw and Dr. Michael Gaynor, advisor for Psi Chi were there. "We are definitely looking for new activities to get involved with ," said Giliiard. "We want to get more active with the community. " Hundreds of cans have been collected as of now. Because of the food drive's successPsi Chi may continue this as an annual event. Members of Psi Chi display food collected during their food drive Saturday.

The theme for the weekend's events is "China Perspective," and Forum suspends wrestlers byKellyCuthbert StaffWriter Bloomsburg University wrestling team was suspended from using Comunity Government Association vehicles following an accident, according to David Hill, comptroller of Community Activities and Kehr Union Building. The vehicle committee, a subcomittee ofCGA imposed the restrictions following a Jan. 7, 1988 incident in Virginia. The wresding team was involved in an accident when a vehicle cut in front of one of the vans. The van operator was not 21 years old. Hill said operators of CGA vehicles must be 21 years old because "its the only way insurance companies will insure us.There are so many drivers or 'youthful operators,' that they [insurance companies] are reluctant to take any risks." Risks are limited be raising the age of those who may drive the vehicles to 21. No one was taken to the hospital," said David Hill, comptroller of Community Activities and Kehr Union. B ut the other party did file a bodily injury claim which the insurance companies are discussing. The vehicle committee decided to suspend the person who was supposed to be driving permanentiy. The BU driver involved in the accident was also suspended until one semester after turning 21. The wresding team will be allowed to use the vans at all during the fall semester. Hill stated the restrictions will only be enforced on the wrestling team. "Other athletic teams will not be affected by this," commented Hill. Photo by Chris Lower activities include a Chinese banquet and a calligraphy demonstration as well as lectures on the Chinese culture. In addition to the China theme, the weekend will feature a concert by the NE Philharmonic as part of the BU Celebrity Artist Series, the annual Maroon and Gold spring football game, a picnic at the Alumni House. TheRenaissance Jamboree, a street fair in downtown Bloomsburg featuring crafts, foods, games and entertainment also are scheduled that weekend. A dinner at the Hotel Magee at 6 p.m. Friday will honor the Class of 1938 which is celebrating its 50thyear class reunion. The annual Alumni Awards Din- ner-Dance will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Caldwell Consistory.

Lincoln Weiss Luzerne Hall nia Senate passed the SB 890, Pet Protection Bill. This bill would protect dogs and cats who were once someone's companion from being tortured during some \Sb experiment. The bill calls for the same protection guaranteed to stray cats and dogs brought in by animal control officers for the last 70 years. Former pets, placed in the protective custody of a human e society should not be denied what , historicall y, a mission has always promised — final refug.,. The House Agriculture committee has yet to pass The Pet Protection Bill. Because of heavy lobbying by the promotors of animal experimentation , six members of the committee axe opposed the the bill and several remain undecided . Shelters should be safe, humane places for animals no longer wanted by their masters. Releasing shelter animals to laboratories serves to undermine the vital functions these organizations serve in our society. If you would like to show support for this bill , call your Representative and tell him or her to put pressure on those who are undecided. If you are unsure who your legislator is, call the Leagurc of Women Voters for assistance. People should feel confident with theirdecisions togive up lheir pets for what ever reason. This law gives pet owners who can no longer keep their animals the assurance that they will be cared for humanely. Think about that dog who has been wilh you for a few years. Though you can no longer care for him and must give him up, should that give someone else the right to make a profit from his suffering? ^EMXJ^^I J Large i called jealousy. One woman who chuckled at the printed image admitted that she has often felt like the central character in a menage a trois, a love triang le. Her double life of working mother remained as difficult to arrange as thai of a married woman finding time in her Filofax for an affair. Leafing back to six years ago , when her baby was born , she remembers how a boss put her through a series of small tests. At the time she thought that he was testing her commiunent to him. Once she had her baby, did she like the baby more? I suppose that sibling rivalry is a better model for this sort of jealousy. A friend says she never understood her manager 's behavior until she had two children of her own. Her eldest daughter acted up like clockwork , whenever she fed the newborn. Her department head just as regularly arrived with problems as she headed out to the babysitter. The same man who had been genial when she needed time off for study or medical care was visibly disapproving when she needed time off for motherhood. He kept track on the claims of his small rivals wilh the arithmetic precision and the suspicion of an elder child. He didn 't want to share her attention with the (other) children. We have ignored the psychological model of the work force for so long that it's easy to exaggerate it here. Most bosses, male and female, have a company goal, a production quota , work to be done. That is their priority. Whatever distracts workers makes the company less (in the word of the hour) competitive. But even that word resonates in our personal lives. Have you seen the television ad that shows a swimmer thinking of work as she does her laps? She is an employer 's fantasy of a singleminded employee whose brain is on the job even when her body is submerged. Do you remember that moment in the movie Kramer vs. Kramer when Dustin Hoffman was desribing the joys of fatherhood to his boss and his boss fired him? In Baby Boom, Diane Keaton's superior replayed that scene when Keaton fell in love with a baby. J A f istf ul of in voices by David Ferns Staff Troublemaker Yesterday was a bad day for me. It started bad and got worse. As soon as I got to work I started the accounts receivables program on the mainfram e computer. The first three punch cards in the deck went through the card reader without problems, but the fourth caught on a comer and the "card jam" warning light blinked on. I cleared the jam with the standard procedure, pulling the top off the reader and slamming the extraction bar until the culprit card ejected itself. The program started once again. I braced myself for a second malfunction when another forest fire broke out in Payroll Department. I've told those people time and time again abou t that , but does anyone ever listen to me? I tried to put out the flames by flapping my "dress for success" flannel shirt at them with one hand while clearing the now-jammed card punch with the other. Just when it looked as if I was making headway, a band of ninja assassins,blirst in the door. Apparendy they had been hired to kill me by sortie'unknown person who was upset about some article I wrote a few weeks ago. I was able to keep the ninja at bay by hitting them wilh bills of lading. Unfortunately this meant I could no longer attend to the fire. Once I had gotten the card punch going and loaded invoice documents into the printer, I could reassess my priorities and concentrate on the blaze and the ninja team. Things were getting tense and I was running out of bills of lading. Fortunately, a rival band of ninja assassins burst in. This second group had been hired by someone in Accounting Department to terminate me for a small mistake I had made in the gross profits run for the previous cost month. I never did understand the problem there. After all, what's $40,000 between friends? The two opposing ninja groups 4 working mother 's love triangle h y Ellen Goodma n Editoria l Columnist BOS TON — I have had the cartoon in my desk for months now. A lone businesswoman is standing before a tabic full of suited men. One of the men asks her this question: "If you i-ave a baby, will you like it better Lhssn us?" It is a wonderful moment , comically inappropriate , ripe with possibilities. In real life , after all, the word "like" or surely the word "love" is kept out of the boardroom. fn real life , no boss or panel of partners would air their anxiety about the ali enation of a co-worker's affection. Indeed , we are not expected to feel as strong ly about our collegues or even our jobs as we do about our families. In all the talk about work and family conflicts , we couch our concerns in much more objective terms. We talk about parental guilt and workplace inflexibility, about stress and stretch , time and tensions. But maybe in all this, we have missed something the cartoonist saw. A hidden emotional component to the work/family dilemma. A component NEWCMJRCH . She lost her place bcause she s gone soft " Are these strictly business decisions? Are those in charge carefully calculating the cost of chaos and confusion? Or is there a j ealous soul wondering: "What about me? Don 't I come first anymore?" We think of the two parts of our lives separately. We subdivide them neatly into the personal and the professional. We think of the conflict between family and work as one between people and tasks, relationships and obligations. But it isn't really like that. Most of us have two personal lives: one at home and one at the office. We have two sets of relationships. There are many employers, of course, who feel comfortable with these shared loyalties and try to build bridges over the gaps. But it isn 't only bosses in cartoons who worry that a working mother will neglect them. Under many a proper business suit there is a little green-eyed monster who sometimes sees families as notquite-sibling rivals. fough t amongst themselves for the honour of doing me in and I could concentrate on getting that accounts receivables batch going properly. Stepping over the bodies I deftly handled a "file not found" error and decollated some four-pl y forms. Things were starting to look up. The computer hadn 't had a malfunction in over eight minutes and the Accounting Ninjas seemed to have an edge over the Article Ninjas. My hopes were dashed when my output queue was destroyed by an incoming 90mm high explosive shell. The National Guard had shown up to combat the two ninja gangs and were moving tanks into the hallway . The fire department had also arrived from the sounds of the sirens, but I couldn 't sec them through all the smoke and tear gas. Surprisingly, it wasn 't the explosion of the tape drive that got me angry. I almost expected that. I lost control when the raging batdc moved down the hall towards the sandwich machine. My only hope for dinner was in deep peril. I didn 't want to do it, but I had no choice. I used a fighting technique called Big Blue Kung Fu (invented hundreds of years ago by early Chinese computer operators). I killed 14 ninja , injured 30 National Guards- men , and bit a tank, lt was at mis point thai I realized lhat three cups of coffee in one day is probably too much for me. I had a ninja by the throat in one hand and my burning flannel shirt in the olhcr when the phone rang. "Data processing," I said, "can I help you?" The muffled voice on the other end explained that their desktop computer had a disk stuck in it and could I please come and fix it. "I'm a bit busy rig ht now, can it wait?" I never heard the reply because the phone melted. The forest fire had worked its way into my computer room, and besides, the printer had run out of paper. Well , to make a long story less long, the fire department beat both ninja teams and the National Guard. Somebody managed to put out the fire on their way out. I was exhausted, but the sandwich machine was safe. The computer beeped loudly at me. I checked the message queue: AccountsReceivable program has completed normally. You are off by $5345.18. It will be taken out of your paycheck. " Everybody ready for this?

The institute, which grew out of initiatives taken in the college's department of marketing and management, will be coordinated by Ruhul Amin , an associate professor in the department. BU President Harry Ausprich said the institute "fulfills institutionalgoals related to enhancing academic climate and student understanding of cultural issues,and it alsoprovides a vehicle for management research in a comparative context , both national and international." He said the flexibility for involvement of student-faculty exi anges, empirical research projects, and technology transfer within the aegis of the institute is "particularly advantageous." The institute has more than 100 potential research projects, according to JohnE. Dittrich, dean of the College of Business. "We need to do comparative studies of management both domestically among different types of businesses and also studies comparing U.S. management practices with thoseoverseas." Amin noted there also is a need to study the cultural differences , values and assumptions inherent in the U.S. technology that cause problems when technology is transferred to another country. Charles Chapman, chairman of the department of marketing and management, and Dittrich went to China last summer to teach executive development courses in Anshan to 80 of the city's top managers, and Chapman noted that there already are more opportunities of that type in China. It may be possible to match local business expertise with needs overseas, he said. We want to pursue opportunities overseas to teach and to conduct research," he said, pointing out that one faculty member has been cultivating a relationship in business organizations in Nancy, France, and another has professional ties with the European Common Market countries and has established a network of research and publications interests within several Latin American countries. Amin has been invited to join the National Advisory Council for South Asian Affairs , a group that advises the U.S. State Department on matters pertainingto South Asian affairs. "All of these contacts and opportunities have given us a sense of intellectual excitement and opportunity," Amin said, "and we can contribute a great deal." Chapman said, "We know virtually nothing about some of these countries and how they manage. They sometimes have state-of-the-art technology right next to 19th century technology." For example, in China last summer he and Dittrich visited more than a dozen businesses, and their cash management system was a throwback to the 1930s. "They used an abacus in a large department store," he said. "We just know so little about their incentive programs, how they're promoted, how they do inventories, and yet they are competingsuccessfully in the world market with giants." Dittrich noted that some countries are labor rich and capital poor, and "we need to think in terms of those dynamics. We don 't want to talk about laborsaving technologies in thosecountries because it's like taking food out of tiieir mouths." The first step Amin will take in coordinating the institute is formation of an advisory board composed of three members from the department of marketing and managementplus the department chair, three members from other departments in the College of Business plus the dean and the university's director of international education. "I will then begin writing proposals for grants and contacting other universities with similar programs, although we will be unique in our approach," Amin said. BU will eventually establish a data base of information from research findings that can be used by other scholars both at this university and later by faculty from other institutions, he said. "We expect a lot of activity in this program," Dittrich said, "including a couple of major grants and periodical publication of research results."

His boos, there were three altogether, were vigorous, sustained and heartfelt. Perhaps owing to Simpson's voice training as a younger man , the boos carried nicely through the hall , easily reaching the ears of conductor Christoph von Dohnanyi, music director of ihe Cleveland, down on the stage. The maestro smiled gamely, took his bows and strode off. Meanwhile, the scene up in the balcony remained tense. As the house lights came up, it was intermission, a Bushnell usher, fingering his walkietalkie, approached Simpson and warned him that the security might have to be summoned if there were further outbursts. Nearby patrons, on their way to the lobby, fixed Simpson with withering stares, and one of them had unpleasant words for the miscreant. Despite his sadden negative celebrity, Simpson elected to remain for the rest of the concert and made it home unmarked. But the incident , brief as it was, lived on. Judith Allen , the Bushnell's executive director, was flooded with letters from people who had witnessed the troubling episode and who wanted to make their consternation known. "I must have gotten 30 or 40 of them. Most of the writers, incidentally, thought the piece was trash, but they were mostly upset by the booing." Is booing at classical concerts the end of civilization as we have known it? "Boo" as a term of disapproval is thoug ht to have entered the language in the early 1800s as an imitation of the lowing of cattle. Prior to this, the hiss was the heavy favorite of disgruntled audiences, as it still is in many parts of the world. Booing has long been a cherished device at sporting events. Significantly, many modern sports fans consider the boo to be superannuated, too mild for the desired, maximally stinging effect. Today, an unpopular decision by an umpire is as likely to touch off unabashed rhythmic chanting of a time-honored, two-syllable obscenity (also pertaining to cattle,as it happens) as it is to elicit a mere boo. Indeed, modern sports-fan declamations are almost totally uninhibited and no longer necessarily even connected to events on the field. At several stadiums, a new tradition has taken hold among beery bleacher patrons in which two opposing sec- tions shriek "Tastes Great!" "Less Filling!" back and forth at each other in joyful , meaningless imitation of the TV beer commercial. No doubt about it, commentators tell us, sports crowds are getting louder, more belligerent. But what has this kind of behavior got to do with the genteel, civilized concert hall? Everything. It is in the early 1800s, with the fall of music-for-aristocracy-only and the rise of public concerts open to anybody with the price of a ticket,that you find the first truly juicy references to your tough music crowds. The French composer Berlioz (18031869) was one of the earliest victims. He took a real beating at the premieres of many of his works, especially his opera "Les Troyens,"which was laughed at in places. Not the kind of reaction that Hector, who had worked on the piece for many years, had been hoping for. Meanwhile, in Rome, audience members who suspected plagiarism in a new piece screamed out the name of the. supposedly purloined composer during the performance, a crude but imaginative precursor to "Name That Tune." In more sedate London , it became the custom to chuck oranges at performers. The rough stuff was not confined to young, unproven composers. Such established figures as Tchaikovsky and Puccini were driven to deep depression by hostile opening-night rowdies. And , of course, in the early 20th century, things really turned ugly. Every music student is solemnly told about the riot at the 1913 Paris premiere of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." If anything, then, music audiences have become progressively more docile and polite in the past few generations. The question is: Is that good for music? It might be comforting (then again it might not) for some of the aggrieved Bushnell correspondents to know that Hartford was not the only place at which Glass's work was accorded the raspberry. "I can speak personally about the premiere performance last October here at Severance Hall (in Clevelend)," says Charles Owens of the Cleveland Orchestra's marketing staff. "There was booing. Very, very loud booing. My sense is that it came from one person, but a person with an incredibly far-reaching voice." And at the Carnegie Hall performance in New York in February, shortly after the Hartford concert, Owens reports, there were "many boos, really quite a din." According to Owens, and to several of the reviews of that concert, the booers and the applauders fought each other vigorously for dominance, in something of a spontaneous recapitulation of the "Tastes Great-Less Filling" debate. Owens says he is certain that none of the Cleveland Orchestra members was personally insulted by the boos. "They knew that the booing was not for them but for the piece." Indeed, many of the players may have been secretly pleased by the boos; reportedly the majority of them had less than warm feelings about "The Light." But here is the important thing: Owens, speaking for the orchestra, says the boos were considered to have been a "healthy expression." And Judith Allen says she was relieved to learn , as she made her way uncertainly to the Green Room after the Bushnell performance , that Dohnanyi himself took a similarly expansive view. Since that night, Allen has developed a firm , unequivocal posture on the booing issue generall y. "I'm saying to the letter-writers that, yes, it can be upsetting for some, but people " have the right to express themselves." To underscore her position, Allen recently gathered the hall's ushering staff, more than 40 people, and gave them the new policy statement (In the absence of any precipitating incident, there had been no prior policy). "I told them if someone wants to express themselves, after the piece is over, of course, then there's nothing to do but to let it happen. And if a fistfi ghtbreaksout, then v/e'll call the police." Simpson foresees little possibility that his spontaneous reactionof a few weeks ago will do anything to alter the fundamental , automatic-applause code of the concert hall. He also doubts that the booing will impinge much on the consciousness of a wellpaid, media-supportedfiguresuch as Glass. "Yes, I have wondered that. I don't know whether he has the intelligence to realize how dull he is. Theproblem with Mr. Glass's music .lhowrealize, is not that it's too modenvbut that it's not modern enough." 1 Plus, Simpson might have added, it is less filling. Job outlooks vary By Richard Bullaro Staff Writer Have you ever sat down and really thought about wh y you are in college? If you have , your answer was probabl y that you want a good job. Many students go through four years of college without ever finding out what opportunities lie ahead for them in their career choice. The Occupational Outlook Handbook , prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor, is a listing of almost every occupation and its projected outiook . This resource, found in most libraries, can give students the proper information to prepare themselves for the future. Bloom sburg University 's Planning, Institutional Research and Information Management Office, directed by Dr . Hugh McFaddcn , supplies a listing of the majors at Bloomsburg University and the number of students enrolled in each major. This listing can be used to determine the most popular majors at Bloomsburg and gives an idea about which fields Bloomsburg students are planning to enter. The curriculum and foundations of elementary education major has the largest number of enrolled students, approxiamately 1,103 at Bloomsburg. The job outlook for elementary and secondary teachers is expected to improve in the next decade. It is said that the employment rate in this field is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. According to the handbook, the positions available in the education field will outnumber qualified applicants. There were 2,400,000 elementary and secondary education teachers employed in the mid-1980s. About 85 percent of these teachers taught in public schools, the others in private or parochial schools. The average income of a teacher in the mid-1980s was $16,000 to $18,000. This figure may vary from one state to another , but it seems that Mid-Atlanlic and far western states pay the highest salaries. There are some opportunities for advancement in ihis field. After obtaining classroom experience, teachers may move lo supervisory, administrative or specialized positions, but usually these positions require a master's degree. Marketing and management majors at Bloomsburg University numbered more than 650 in the fall of 1987. Enrolled in the second most popular major at Bloomsburg , graduates in marketing and management can go into variety of positions in business. Managers and administrators are an essential part of any organization Administrators neld about 8.8 million jobs in the mid-1980s, many of which were in large industrial corporauons. The job outlook for administrators is expected to improve in the next few years. The increase in employment is hoped to surpass the average for all occupations in the next decade. Managers and administrators tend to have a higher income level than those in other occupations. The average earnings were $27,400, more than $10,000 above average income levels of other professionals. Depending upon one's performance, the opportunities for advancementin this field aremany . However, the more technical professions , such as engineering or complex manufacturing, usually require a master's degree. Marketing graduates can go into any number of fields; including real estate, insurance and sales. The average salary for a manufacturing sales worker was about $18,000 a year, depending upon die size of the corporation. Advancement to supervisory positions is possible after first hand experience in the field. The third most popular major at Bloomsburg University is the accounting major , with more than 500. students enrolled. Accountants are an essential asset to any organization . The four major fi elds of accounting arc public , management , govern ment , and internal auditing. Because of the necessity for accurate financial records in any organization, the job prospects for accountants is expected to surpass the average for all occupation in the 1990s. Certified Public Accountants (CPA s) are said to have a wider range of opportunities than other accountants. The average salary of an accountant in the mid-1980s ranged from $18,000 to $27,000, depending upon the nature and size of the organization. In public accounting, accountants can move from auditing for several small clients to joining a partnership or starting their own public accounting office. Beginning management accountants usually start as ledger accountants, and depending upon their skills , can move on to positions in management. Many corporate leaders today have backgrounds in accounting. This is just a sample of the information available about the outlook of jobs in the coming decade. So the next time you wonder what you are going to do after graduation , do some research and prepare yourself for the future.

Photo by Gerry Moore ¦] Act to guarantee clean air The effects of air pollution on the human respiratory system have not been completely revealed , but it is clear that both short-term exposure to high levels of air pollution and long-term exposure to lower levels may produce adverse health effects. Breathing may become more difficult because of constriction of respiratory airways; susceptibility to respiratory infections may increase, through interference with the body 's defense mechanisms; and chronic lung diseases may develop or worsen as a result. The goal of the Clean Air Act is to guarantee the American peopletheir right to clean and healthful air. The American Lung Association is working to protect the respiratory health of the American people by the prevention and control of lung disease. Since air pollution can be injurious to the lungs, the aims of the Clean Air Act and the American Lung Association coincide. The Clean Air Act is now under review and is to be rcauihorized by Congress. The American Lung Association has undertaken its own review and has made its recommendations to protect and strengthen the Act's effectiveness. The Clean Air Act requires that the U.S. Environmental Proicction Agency (EPA) determine which substances in the air endanger public health and welfare. For each of these pollutants EPA must set individual National Ambient Air Quality Standards which limit their presence in the outdoor air. Currendy, standards have been setfor particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and lead. Basic to the Act is the achievement and maintenance of these standards. The primary standards are designed specifically to protect health-the health of all , including children , the chronically ill, and the elderly-and are set so as to provide an adequate margin of safety in the face of scientific uncertainties. Millions of Americans still live in areas with air quality in the "unhealthful" range. Significant progress has been made in meetinghealthbased standard s, but substantial reductions in air pollution are still necessary to meet these standards in some regions of the nation. Motor vehicles are a principal reason for the failure of many urban areas to meet health-based air quality standards. With the passage of the 1970 Clean Air Act, all new gasoline-powered automobiles were required to meet emission standards set by the Act. Though the United States has been a world leader in setting ambitious goals for controlling auto pollution , any slippage in these goals could effect the pulic heallh. To accomplish this, specific deadlines for meeting air quality standards need to be maintained; provisions in the Act which allow for economic growth but reduce rather than increase pollution should be kept; and meaningful economic penalties are needed to encourage states and localities to move ahead in achieving healthful air quality. In addition to requiring air quality standards for certain pollutants , the'Clean Air Act authorizes EPA to set emission limits on hazardous air pollutants-those for which there are not ambient air quality standards but which can cause death or serious illness. Of the hundreds of hazardous substances emitted into the air, EPA has so far issued standards for only a small number. The American Lung Association believes the Clean Air Act should set deadlines to speed EPA' s development of emission limits and standards for these potentially dangerous air pollutants. The use of the state-of-the-art emission controls for hazardous pollutants can be accomplished at reasonable cost. In some cases, fully protecting public health will be possible immediately by substituting a safe chemical for the hazardous one, or by totally enclosing polluting processes. Where these options are not feasible, the best control technology now available should be required. Congress should pursue the goal of protecting public health with an ample margin of safety from these pollutants while recognizing that protecting the public's heallh does not necessarily require eliminating all risks regardless of cost. Tape making a quality choice An early spring day arrived as these students enjoyed themselves last week playing hackcysack outside Kehr Union. Photo by ChrisLower Spring returns at last by Tom Spock for The Voice The days are getting longer and warmer. Buds on the trees are starting to get fat. Green pigment is coloring the dull, brown grass. Signs of spring are everywhere in the country, as well as in the cities. After spending the past few months inside my house trying to keep warm by means of kerosene and wood heat, I can finally come out to enjoy the warm weather. Probably one of the first signs I noticed was the northward migration of the Canadian geese. The geese flew through the area more than a month ago, and by now are well on the way to their summer homes in Canada. Other birds arrived after the geese began migrating and are abundant in many areas. Huge flocks of blackbirds congregate in the old corn fields scrounging around for food. Robins scan the lawns for worms and insects. Even the birds that spent the winter in the area seem to be more active now. I think this is because the sun is rising earlier and setting later. This warm sign of spring makes waking up a lot easier for me. With the sun shining hotter and longer, flowers start to grow. Crocuses are usually first, followed by tulips and daffodils. In a few weeks they 'll be in full bloom. Along with all these signs of spring come the sounds. The geese are always easy to pick out because of their tell-tale honking. The hordes of blackbirds cackle annoyingly, while the robins chirp quiedy and balde for territory. Sparrows, cardinals, and blue jays, birds that wintered here, seem to chatter more with warmer temperatures. Birds aren't the only ones making more noise. Warmer weather enables people to start lawn and garden work. Gardners and farmers use tractors to till the soil. Weed-eaters, chainsaws, and hedge trimmers also signal the start of spring in the country. It's time to rake any remaining leaves from the fall , and bum them along with fallen branches and hedge clippings. At the end of the day when the sun starts setting and a chill fills the air, silence returns. The various machinery is shut down, birds fly back to their nests, and the smell of burning brush is in the air. There is also the smell of spring - that fragrance in the air that makes everything seem fresh and new. This "spring smell", sometimes even noticeable in the city, is a sure sign of upcoming warm weather. Yesterday I was reminded of another smell associated with spring, though I think it is only found in the country. Manure. A farmer down the road was preparing some of his fields for plowing and the manure was used for fertilizer. This pungent odor is one of the setbacks of life in a rural area, but it beats the smell of the kerosene heater I had to use during the winter monihs. Movathon promotes Special Olympics from page 4 raised $600 dollars for the Special Olympics program , and approximately $900 dollars was raised overall. Mack said, "The Movathon used to be a very big thing. Our original van was bought with the money we raised. However, in the past few years, participation in the Movathon has been lacking." Dawn Wodarczyk, a junior special education major remarked,"People exercise for enjoyment. This is just a way to help an important cause and have a good time too. Currently, the Special Olympics volunteers and participants are preparing for a meet held at Bucknell on April 23. Here, the athletes will match their capabilities against athletes from other areas. "In the past," said Mack, "we've had some very good athletes. In general, this gives them a more positive self image." Volunteers helping at the Bucknell meet, act as "buggers", giving young athletes a hug after they have completed their events. Anyone is invited to participate in the Movathon. Sign-up sheets are available in the Special Education Office in Navy Hall. by Dave Carton Staff Writer Spring has officiall y arrived in Bloomsburg, and so has the time to break out the boom box and cassettes. There's nothing quite like hanging out and blasting tunes. It's a great way to relax, plus you can inflict your musical tastes on everyone within earshot. You won 't, however, be impressing too many people with a mix tape that sounds like it went through the wash with your sweats. Here's a quick primer on how to make a great tape. First, buy a cassette that's worth your money. Recording on storebrand tapes is like doing an oil painting on toilet paper; it may work, but it won 't turn many heads. Stick with name brands like TDK, Maxell, Sony or Denon. It may cost you a bit more, but it's worth the expense. Once you 've decided on a brand , you'll have to choose a bias. Bias determines how well your tape will hold the sound you record on it. If you want to record only spoken word or high-energy rock music, then normal bias (Type I) will suffice. If you're like me and a little picky with the sound of your tapes, you may want high bias (Type II) cassettes. High bias, or Cr02, tape has less back ground hiss and gives a wider range of frequency response. However, a high bias tape will also cost a bit more. Another option is to purchase a metal bias (Type IV) cassette. Of the three types, metal tapes have unparalleled sound reproduction capability, but they're quite expensive, especially on a college-student budget. Metal tapes are for audiophiles with elaborate stereos and stringent recording requirements. For me, metal tapes are a class above that of my stereo, so I stick to high bias. Now that you 've selected a cassette, you 're ready to make your tape. To get the most out of your time, it's essential to start with a well-maintained stereo system. If you 're recording from records, make sure that the stylus is clean and the records are dust-free. The tape recorder that you're using should also be clean, especially if you 're dubbing tapc-to-tape: pinch rollers clean, and heads cleaned and demagnetized. Preventative maintenance goes a long way! Pop your cassette into the tapedeck (record side if dubbing) and close the door. Set the equalization (EQ) for the type of tape you 're using. Most tape decks have settings for Type I and Type II, and some have settings for Type IV. Choose whether or not you want noise reduction (NR). Use what suits your own needs. Personally, I find that Dolby NR deadens the sound of recordings, so I avoid it. With the EQ and NR set, the next step is to set the recording levels. The best way to get an accurate setting is to play the loudest part of a song that you're putting on your tape. Put the tape deck into record mode but with pause on also. Increase the recording levels until the loudest parts, or peaks, are at about +3 decibels (dB) on the meter. If you want a tape with a highenergy sound, set the record ing levels higher (+4 dB to +6 dB). Be careful , though. If you set them too high the tape will come out muddy and distorted. In addition , if your source material has different sound levels, you may have to reset the recording levels for each song. With some minor preparation and a minimum of effort, you should soon have a well-recorded tape. Be it for parties, exercise, or just bumming in the sun , you 'll be boasting the best tape around.

They dropped the opener Fhoto Rob a""""*" by a 5-4 score and lost the second game 7-6. * Bloomsburg struck right back in the top half of the fifth with a bit of deja vu. Sees, who was 2-4, and Kirkpatrick both reached base again and up lo the plate stepped Karchner. For the second time in the game, Karchner, 2-4 with six RBIs, blasted a three-run shot to retake the lead, 6-4. Pederson was unable to hold this newfound lead in the bottom of the fifth as the Mounties plated two more runs to knot the game at six at the end of five innings. Again as in the first game, Bloomsburg failed to score in their half of the sixth and the Mounlies came to bat with the score all tied, 66. And again it was the Mounties coming up with that extra run to take the game by a 7-6 score. Bloomsburg was outhit by the Mounties, 11-7, and again committed three errors. Pederson took the loss, while Mounty pitcher Mike Foulke earned the win. The two losses dropped the Huskies' overall record to 10-10 while making their Pennsylvania Conference record a bleak 1-5. It is the second doubleheader in a row against a PSAC club in which the Huskies have been swept. Bloomsburg now readies to take on East Stoudsburg this Wednesday in another PSAC double header beginning at 1:00 p.m. For those who can't make it to the game, they can catch it on WBUQ, 91.1 FM. Bob Bailey and Mike Mullen will be broadcasting the game live from Danny Litwiler Field, and will go on the air at 12:55. in the second and one in the third , gave the Huskies a 4-0 lead at the end of three. From there the Mounties tried to mount their comeback. It started with a lone run in the fourth off of winner Joanna Sulmonetti , that cut the lead to 4-1. Masters pitched some beautiful innings as she kept the Husky bats quiet for the rest of the game. Two more runs in the sixth inning cut the Bloomsburg lead to one 4-3 and set up some seventh inning heroics. In the bottom of the seventh, with the Huskies leading4-3, the Mounties loaded the bases with one out and Upcraft was called in to quell the uprising. She calmly got the next two batters out to preserve the win and earn the save. Mansfield outhit the Huskies 6-5 but couldn't get that final run home in the seventh to take the victory. The two losses dropped Mansfield to 0-2 on the year and 0-2 in the Pennsylvania Conference. In a battle of top twenty teams yesterday, Army was able to squeak by the Huskies on an unearned run in the fourth inning to take a 1-0 victory over the fourth-ranked Huskies.
