George B.N. Ayittey, an associate professor at BU, is one of 12 college professors chosen from across the nation for research at Stanford. He will receive a $25,000 stipend for his work. He will resume teaching at BU the following year. In Ayittey 's topic with an economist view, "Developing Africa Using Africa 's Own Indigenous Institutions," he hopes to solve some of the problems of South Africa - such as apartheid - by alleviating racial animosity between black and white peoples. He believes that only freedom of expression will induce economic and social development. They don 't give their own blacks the right to vote in Africa. Only two out of 41 black countries gave freedom of expression. So can we understand freedom?," he asked. Ayittey pointed out Zimbabwe with its violent revolution as an example of what Africa might develop into if the lack of expression continues which, he believes, is indirectly causing hatred among races and millions of deaths from starvation. He explained that starvation in the African countriesis unnecessary if the presidents of the countries will invest their billions to feed their own people. "Four of the richest people in the world have once ruled third world countries. They are each worth over $30 billion and keep acquiring more (money). A small part of their booty could buy grain to feed millions of people, " he said. He also pointed out that the "USA For Africa" campaign in 1985, when rock singers cut a song to help raise money to feed the starving, raised a lot of money but could not begin to feed the starving billions. Ayittey is attempting to thrust the harsh realities of the economic struggles and starvation in Africa , his native land, into world attention. "I don't think Americans are ready for my views. But that is my crusade." But Ayittey holds a never-say-die viewpoint. Taped to a filing cabinet alongside shelves of economics texts is this quote, "....Don 't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try. (United Tech. Corp, reprinted in the Wall Street Journal). Just recently though, he has gained support for his views by publishing articles in numerous major newspapers, and guest speaking at such prestigious universities as George Mason University, Virginia. In July, 1986 he tesitified in favor of foreign investments with developing nations at the U.S. Congress, Washington D.C., at the request of Congressman John Bryant, D-Texas. This past February, Ayittey spoke at the Secretary 's Open Forum in Washington, D.C., about Africa 's economic disaster and solutions with fellow speaker and political satirist Art Buchwald. Ayittey was born in Tarkwa , Ghana, in 1945, and is the eldest of three sisters and two brothers. He yearned to travel and when he completed his undergraduate work in economics at the University of Ghana, he received a scholarship which enabled him to attend the University of Western Ontario to pursue a master's degree. He then earned his doctorate degree from the University of Manitoba, also in Canada. Ayittey smiles when asked why he majored in economics in college. "Economics was my worst subject. I concentrated on history in high school and performed poorly in eco- PLO chairman in Damascus by Michael Ross L.A. Times - Washington Post Service Over the years, Yasser Arafat, the politically acrobatic chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization has managed to spring back from one misfortune after another not always landing where he wanted to be but nearly always on his feet. This week, in another swiftly executed politicalback-flip, Arafat ended up in Damascus, the Syrian capital from which he was ignominiously expelled in 1983 after a bitter struggle with Syrian-backed rebels in Lebanon for control of the PLO. The misfortune that bounced him back there was the April 16 slaying of the PLO's military commander, Khalil Wazir, allegedly by Israeli assassins. Wazir, better known by his nom de guerre, Abu Jihad, was one of Arafa t's ablest and most trusted aides. When the Palestinian uprising in the occupied territories began five months ago, it took the PLO as much by surprise as it did Israel. But due largely to Wazir's efforts , the PLO subsequendy assumed a prominent role in the revolt, thus allowing it to claim at least some of the credit for posing a more serious challenge to Israeli rule than it has ever been able to mount through either terrorism or guerrilla warfare. nomics," he explained. Yet on his high school exam, he did best in economics and poorest in history, so economics became his concentration in college. "It just came naturally," he added. He was always interested in seeing the U.S. and accepted a three-year teaching position at Wayne University, Nebraska. He began searching for a teaching job on the East Coast and found BU. "When I' m in the Northeast I feel closer to Ghana because there are more African people here," he explained.Yet, the professor reminds people that Africa was not always an oppressed nation and that social organization once flourished. "Chiefs did very little to restrain their people. They were using gold dust for money exchange centuries before the Europeans." His dream is to help put Africa back in its once productive position. "But Africa will never be so happy again without freedom of expression. Something is wrong with the African government. It 's a fact. Why shouldn'11be able to say so without— poof!—you 're dead," he says. "Africa is so rich. We have gold, diamonds, titanium. Still it is starving. It makes me angry." When Ayittey began voicing his opinions, in the early 80's, newspaper editors and officials did not agree or disagree with him but simply ignored him. Not until he persistantly continued to send his work to the Wall Street Journal' s editor to consider his articles for publication , did he get noticed. "He (the editor) would call me Friday at 7 p.m. and ask me to do quick revisions. I did about nine revisions for my first paper ("A Double Standard in Black and White", 22 July 1985). My social life was was ruined ," he admits with a smile, "but I established a contact. Now they call me." nAfrica is so rich. We have gold, diamonds, titanium. Still it is starving. It makes me angry." The killing and subjugation of innocent blacks, Ayittey believes, has prompted world-wide pressure for attention and reform. Cry Freedom, a movie attempt to bring out the brutal violence against blacks in South Africa , is labeled "very powerful" by Ayittey. "A feeling of degradation and oppression I felt was missing in the movie." said Ayittey. He attributes this loss to the author of the book who had not direcdy suffered the violence in South Africa. The author is white and was a wealthy man in Africa. Ayittey asks, "Can he be believable?" When asked how crucial he thinks discrimination against blacks in the U.S. is, he agrees that both the U.S. and" Africa are engaged in a struggle for equality, but he says they are totally different struggles. "In Africa the issue isn't racism, but oppression. They (Africans) are struggling for the basics—human rights. I'm not trying to take away from America 's struggle, but I don 't feel as if it's as crucial as Africa 's." Ayittey 's personal response to racism in the U.S. is "I present myself as I am—a black man with an accent. Take it or leave it. When people don't accept me, I don 't conclude that they are racist. It's too convenient an excuse for me and for many blacks." When asked to comment on Rev. Jesse Jackson becoming the democratic presidential nominee and/or the next president. He said that for a black man to even be permitted to run for an office , particularly the highest office in a nation , is a great accomplishment "Even though Jackson may not get a nomination , he as come a long way. That's saying something." Ayittey plans to continue to bring across his views of the crucial plight of black Africans and possible solutions including writing articles for media , accepting interviews, and making euest soeaches. Wazir's real importance, however, lay in the role he played in managi ng relations between Arafat's more moderate wing of the PLO and radical proSyrian factions. He was instrumental in negotiating a rapprochement that restored some semblance of unity to PLO ranks last year. He remained, in many ways, a cornerstone in that organization's fissured structure. His assassination thus creates a vacuum in the PLO hierarchy and pose s a serious challenge for Arafat, How he meets this challenge in the coming months, diplomats and Arab officials say, may well determine whether Wazir's assassination turns out to be a crippl ing blow for the PLO or equally a possibility, in the view of The 11th Annual Renaissance Jamboree Jamboree was held Saturday as people from all over the state enjoyed crafts, food some officials a grave miscalculation and entertainment provided by the Kehr Union Program Board and The Bloomsburg Chamber of Commerce.

The program is offered to 20 freshman students of high academic achievement who are offered $500 scholarships provided by the University Foundation. These students are offered 24 cred- its of special general education classes for their first two years which are selected by faculty. Dr. Harry Ausprich instructed the Scholars Program public speaking class. Dr. William Baillie, current director of the Honors and Scholars programs, stated that this program has three goals, "First, provide greater opportunities for advanced students than they could get in regular classes. Second, to establish a better learning community, based on the idea of better learning in groups than by isolated individuals. Third, to enhance the academic atmosphere of the campus. "The program 's success is evident through the participation of Scholars Program students not just within the program but across the board." The current year book editor, Melissia Harris, andVoice news editor Lisa Cellini are examples of involvement of scholars students on campus.

Editor 's note: Sorry folks. We 're a bit lacking in the ol' letters lo the ediior department. I suppose everyone is content. They say no news is good news. So , instead of a letter to the editor , here is a letter from the editor: Dear Voice Staff Since I have this rather large block of white space to fill , I'd like to use it productively and tell you all something I probably should tell you all more often. Sometimes it is truly amazing that we get this paper printed. When we sit down in front of our terminals Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night with no stories, no pictures and no prayers, it tends to get discouraging. It hard to make something out of nothing. It 's also hard to take some of the criticism that we receive for things we do, or don 't do. Too many typos. Not enough university news. Spelled someone 's name incorrecUy. Or just plain overlooked something that was very important. Yeah , a lot of times we piss people off , but what these people don 't realize is that our mistakes usually make us angrier than they make others. Working 14 hours on an issue and finding a mistake in the top headline on the front page tends to get a bit discouraging. Sometimes it's even hard for me to understand why anyone would want to subject themselves to this kind of torture only to hear what you did wrong and never hear what you did right. But I guess the good outweighs the bad because we're all still here. While the rest of the world sleeps, here I sit trying to fill a big block of white space. (And my professors wonder why I always fall asleep in my classes.) What I am trying to say here is that your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated. You always come through, no matter how impossible things get. I want you to know I am very proud of all of you for taking the time to dedicate yourself to this paper. What I want to say is thank you. 1 11 N WI MEAH WD ""^feR R! mor^-mtrecLKSD fSj Sqls !

Since Beta 5 is the only non-organization presendy represented in NCTDN, we tend to dominate the decision-making process. It was obvious we weren't a Greek society, so we had to decide what we were. Originally we were going to go as a Trojan society until we noticed the Greeks next door working on this huge wooden horse. Now we're trying out the term "Carthaginian Society". The local branch of Beta 5 is the VHS non-chapter. Our symbol is the Invisible Man, chosen because he's easy to draw. Non-pledges to Beta 5 must go through a vigorous series of tests to prove their apathy. First, the prospective non-brother or non-sister must find the non-fraternity house. This seemingly impossible task is but the firs t of the secret tasks of initiation known as the Three Things. Second, the non-pledge must recite all three verses of "I'm a Lumberjack" while sitting in a chair. In the last and most grueling challenge, the person seeking admission and allowed its non-members to to Beta 5 must state three uses for a travel about in groups of less than 12 Macintosh computer. This final test is where most non-pledges fail. people.

I realized that I too would like to learn how to become an individual . Finally I said , "Let's join a group!" Weiooked at all the different Greek organizations on campus, but didn 't see anything that suited our needs and desires. Some of us didn t like the drinking that is an integral part of some groups. Others didn 't like the hazing that goes on in some fraternities and sororities, despite the new anti-hazing laws. My personal fear was lhat I'd have to wear one of those silly green hats. In the end, we decided that we didn 't want to join a fraternity, so instead we formed a non-fraternity. This was the birth of Beta Beta Beta Beta Beta, or Beta 5 for short.

I intend to fight it every step of the way." — Anonymous, 1988 This quotation may never make it into Bartlett's. The author is not apoet after all, but an unknown copywriter, maybe a committee of copywriters, who seek inspiration at the well of Oil of Olay. Nevertheless, it stuck into some groove in my own brain, like a song that you don't like and can't expel. I cannot open a women 's magazine without seeing this sentiment emanating from the well-contoured mouths of arotating cast of models. "Growing old gracefully" is apparently out of fashion. It's an admission of a defeat rather than a story of success. What am I to make of this m essage? The Census Bureau just announced that the average age of Americans is now a notch over 32 years old. The first of the 75 million baby-boomers have passed forty. Their mid-life is marked by the emergence of all sorts of products to help them "fight it every step of the way. There are more than the usual number of unguents and elixirs that promise to rub the age out of our skins and preserve our energy, there are more the usual products to cover gray hair and fill in the face lines. There are more than the usual admonitions to leg-lift a path to eternally youthful thighs. Add to the list, Minoxidil fo the bold, Retin-A for the wrinkled and liposuction for the middle-age spread. Those of us who once had two scant choices — aging gracefully or foolishly — are now offered a much larger arsenal of weapons for the battle against looking our age. Men who would accept their baldness or risk the ridicule of a toupee, now have the chance of growing hair again. Women and men who had to accept their crow 's feet or risk the knife to retrieve their younger, tauter skin can now chemically iron their wrinkles. In modest ways, aging has begun to look like a personal choice. How far are you willing to go stay the same? When women over 40 get together these days, there is often some bashful conversation about Retin-A. Would you use it? Would you? Among my friends, one has had a vial of this potion for months now, unused. It's a security vial in some running internal debate she has about wrinkles versus side effects. And about aging gracefully. Women of a certain age wonder. Is Retin-A, like eye-liner, a cosmetic chemical that merely makes you look your best? Or is it a first seductive step in some unappealing chase after youth that conjures up the imae of an octogenarian with platinum hair and scarlet nail polish and her third face lift? ! What of the other choices? Are they the acceptable tools of self-improvement, or are they proof of self-hate? If you don't color your hair and firm your thighs, are you letting yourself go? If you do, are you fighting — gracelessly — against the inevitable, the natural? three) and someone notices, he or she is admitted into the non-fraternity in a secret ceremony known as the Sacred Wearing of the Vulcan Ears. Once this is over and the floor swept, the new non-brother or non-sister is awarded with their new name: John . We wanted to have special nonfratemity names, just like the Greek organizations, but it turned out instead of names like Binky and Wild Toad, everyone wanted John. Somebody figured out that this would save enormously on printing costs so it became tradition. If you would like to join Beta 5, the meetings are not held in an undisclosed location on campus at a time and date that haven t been decided upon yet. Ten people are non-members as of this writing, and several more have expressed disinterest towards joining. Beta 5 has an official policy of discriminating against anyone who is a member of any race, religion, color, creed, sex, or sports team. In all actuality we don't care and we'll accept anybody. I'd like to close by sending a personal message to my little, John: you 're about the most mediocre, dull person I've ever met. To the first non-pledge class of Beta Beta Beta Beta Beta, I'd like to extend these words of encouragement: well, who cares. If I had a role model of an older woman, it would look like Katharine Hepburn or the artiest Georgia O'Keeffe. It would not look like Zsa Zsa Gabor. I note approvingly the gray strands in Kathleen Sullivan's hair. I have been struck by the strong images of women in Lear ' s, the new magazine "for the woman who wasn't born yesterday." But I don't know how Katharine Hepburn feels when she looks in the mirror of whether the women in Lear 's harbor small vials of Retin-A in their drawers. There is an ad in that magazine that admonishes: "Take control of your skin's age." Clearly the money is in youth products. There is no way to sell selfacceptance. There may be a profit in the natural "look" but not in nature. As we are offered this expanding array of weapons, we increase our defense budget. And with each item , with each choice, how much harder it becomes to negotiate a peaceful coexistence with our own age. How much harder it becomes to age gracefully.

Times - Washington Post Service Ppposition leaders in Panama expressed worries Thursday about White House willingness to let Gen. Manuel A. Noriega remain in Panama , even for several weeks, if and when he finally relinquishes power. One said that his continued presence here could block the transition to "true democracy." The softening of U.S. conditions for Noriega's departure followed the failure of economic pressures imposed by Washington on Panama to drive Noriega out of power, as well as the weakening of strikes and protests directed against him by domestic opponents. Leaders of ppposition political parties and anti-Noriega civic movements interviewed by the Los Angeles Times said that the military strongman 's continued presence inside this country would cripple any future progress to democratic rule. They fear he could continue to meddle in political affairs even after shedding his uniform . "Noriega's presence here could be worse than having Marcos in the Philippines," said Ricardo Arias Caldcron , leader of the Christian Democratic Party . He was referring to former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who flew fro m Manila into exile in the United States when he was overthrown in 1986 after 20 years of dictatorial rule. Arias Caldcron added that even allowing Noriega to stay for several weeks, once he resigns his command of the 15,000-mcmber Panama Defense Forces, might backfire if Washington drops its economic sanctions first. ' It could be a catastrophe," he declared. Arias Caldcron and other opposition leaders said that if Noriega stays, he should face charges in Panama on a variety of alleged crimes, including responsibility for the 1985 decapitation-murder of newspaper columnist Hugo Spadafora. Otherwise, the opposition leaders asserted , there could be no way lo guarantee civilian control over the military. They fear prosecution of Noriega would be blocked by the Defense Forces. "For Noriega to remain in Panama mi ght mean that his cronies would keep control of the military and protect him. And that would mean they would block changes that would lead to true democracy," said Luis Casco Arias, an official of the anti-military Molircna party. Lita Arias, a leader of the National Civic Crusade, a business and trade alliance that has spearheaded opposition to Noriega since June, declared: "If he is somehow immune from prosecution in Panama , dicn our struggle will have meant nothing. How will we guarantee lhat ihe courts will go after him even if he is out of power?" The change of policy in Washington came to light while a high-level State Department official visited Panama to negotiate with Noriega. U.S. Embassy officials said they did not know specifically what Michael G. Kozak , deputy assistant secretary of stale for Latin America , and Noriega were discussing. Kozak's current Panama visit was his second in 10 days. He has been involved in several months of talks aimed at getting Noriega to step down. f f Living Earth to play 'Dead * tunes by John Risdon Staff Writer Living Earth will bring to Bloomsburg their special mix of original songs and covers of the Grateful Dead and other psychedelic bands on Friday, May 6 at 4 p.m. on Schuykill Lawn. This will be the band's second appearance here and the band has begun to do more original songs than they did last March. Living Earth is a veteran of the Philidelphia club scene, headlining clubs such as The Ambler and Chestnut Cabaret ' s and also the Chameleon in Lancaster. The band has a reputation for filling up clubs and making the people dance their way through a set with ease. "Whatever the stuff is that makes the Dead 's sound special is what we try to capture every time we play...every song is like an improvisational journey on stage," said Bob Stirner, lead guitarist of Living Earth m a recent interview. From personal experience I find this band about as close as one can come to seeing the Dead in concert. They are a very tight improvisational band , just like the Grateful Dead. What makes improvisational bands interesting is the way they communippwM ^ ¦ cate on stage with one another. They never do a song the same way twice. Living Earth is a treat to see as they can play great versions of songs from the Dead 's play list, but specialize in recreating the sound the Dead had in the early 70s. Living Earth rocks through songs like "St. Stephens", and "The Eleven " as well as "Dupree's Diamond Blues". These are songs which the Dead play very rarely in concert. As a group, Living Earth feels that they are more than a cover band. Bob Stimer commented, "We're a copy band in that we do the Grateful Dead , but we don'treally copy them because nobody can. We only interpret them. Their music is not something you can copy because it is improvisational by nature. A lot of it has to do with spontaneity. We try to play more than their hits and play what an average 'Deadhead' would want to see in concert. Even people not familiar with the Grateful Dead 's music can appreciate Living Earth for their rhythm , and for the musical craftsmanship they present on stage. May 6 should prove to be an enjoyable Friday afternoon as the last day of classes and a chance to dance to a great act,Living Earth.

Though all proceedings in the case have been closed and most courlfiles scaled , Williams and her attorneys outlined a series of closed court sessions for the Los Angeles Times that have occurred during the past month , culminating in an in-chambers session with Judge Kenneth Black Wednesday. Black named the Bank of California and the accounting firm of Prager & Fenton as trustees of Tiffany 's trust fund at the same time that he removed Williams as trustee. Black also boosted the percentage of Tiffany 's record earnings lhat must be held in the trust fund from 30 percent to 50 percent and authorized the new trustees to make income tax payments out of the account. As record royalties and concert earnings pour in , the trust fund is expected to grow well beyond $1 million , according to Williams' attorneys. Williams maintained in statements to The Times and in court documents that Tiffany and her manager, George Tobin, have moved inexorably toward a complete break with Tiffany 's immediate family since William s first reported to the Norwalk, Calif., sheriff's station March 9 that her 16year-old daughter was missing. I felt that George wanted all the control and Tiffany went along with it because she had her dream of being a star and he (Tobin) could give it to her ," Williams said. "I was never in- «MnnmKnHHnn»i troduced as Tiffany 's mother. I was never introduced at all to anybody of any great importance. George didn 't want anybody to know I was Tiffany 's mother." In a declaration submitted to the court, Mrs. Williams outlined sever al incidents in which she alleged that she was shunted aside by Tobin. Tobin was not represented in Wednesday 's proceedings, however. Tiffany hired John Frankenheimer of Loeb & Loeb three weeks ago to act in freeing her finances from both her mother and her manager, Tobin. The mother-daughter schism came to a head March 9, when Tiffan y did not come home from Tobin 's recording studio in Los Angeles. Shortly after Williams filed a missing person report with the Sheriff' s Department, Tiffany called the Norwalk sheriff' s station and protested that she was not a runaway. She filed a court emancipation action the following week under a littleused section of the California Civil Code that sometimes allows minors many people have not forgotten.

A lumnus awarded graduatefel lowship F eatures Skateboarders find taking risks a thrill by Stacey Sell for The Voice They come from all walks of life. They are young, old , rich and poor, educated and uneducated . But they all have one common bond. They are united by a 30 x 10 inch piece of wood mounted on four wheels. They are an obsession on wheels. They arc skateboarders. A person and his board arc like a master and his dog. Like a dog, a person 's board is always loyal. The board never quits; never lets the person down , and will be ever present The skater realizes this and in return pushes beyond personal limits. Each skater 's board is like no others, it is a unique expression of that person 's inner most thoughts. There are m.inv places a person can go with the skateboard to play; on half-pipes, in empty and fogottcn back yard pools, or just on the street But the avid skateboarder is not confined to these areas, his imagination and spontenaity can take him anywhere from schoolyards and parking garages to rooftops. To many, the most exciting form of skateboarding takes place on the halfpipes. These are enormous U-shaped wooden structures, usually about 10 to 11 feet in height and topped with one or two feet of sheer vertical . The skater 's idea of fun is probably most peoples ' idea of work. He will take board and body, and push to the limits of exhaustion. A day on the half-p ipe will include numerous eggplants , a few Madonnas, and grinds and aerials of all kinds. These tricks defy gravity and keep the rider on the edge of disaster. To the skater, this is done all in fun. "The whole thrill of skating ramps (half-pipes) is knowing that you 're always on the edge and that you have to be confident in what you are doing ," says Pat Andrews, a junior at Bloomsburg University. But before the skater can play, preparation for "battle" must take place. The skater protect the body from head to toe with dense padding covered with plastic to protect the knees and elbows. The hips are protected with a thin padding, so as not to hinder movement The tops of his shoes are covered with a thick layer of duct tape or leather to prevent getting splinters during a fall on the halfpipes. Most important of all is trie r.elmet, also known as a brain bucket, which protects the rider from serious injury . With all of the gear securely attached, the skater seemingly resembles the knight of the 80s prepared to battle his wooden adversary, the monsterous half-pipe. At first appearance, the skater may seem like a strange breed, a loner perhaps. Actually, skaters are much like wolves, because they remain in packs. Where you find one, you will find others. Wild and ferocious, they will skate, one at a time, tearing up and down a ramp while others eagerly await their turn. As the day comes to a close and the sun goes down , the skaters all go home and talk of the days events and think of the challenges that tomorrow will bring. GRADUATING SENIORS!

According to Barb Lake, program director for QUEST, "The interships can be molded to emphasize the area each person is most interested in. If someone is interested in the planning and managing of the organization , they arc able to spend more of their internshi p doing these kind of things." Lake says, "The internship is also an excellent opportunity for those people interested in education. There is much to learn about communication and leadershi p that can be applied in the class room . The experience from these outdoor activities can also be helpful in teaching anything from geography and geology to physical education." The QUEST intership works in conjunction with a number of academic departments of Bloomsburg University . The intership is a great way to get experience working with a variety of people in a variety of situations, and also can become an Outdoor Leadership and Program Administration Career Concentration. This means that the credits earned through this internship can be applied toward a certification equivalent to that of a minor in outdoor recreation. One of last summer 's interns, Linda Badami , especially enjoyed learning how to do activities and then later become the leader in them. Badami says, "I not only learned how to rock climb and tc do the high ropes, but I also learned how to teach these courses. There are also many other things I had an opportunity to learn about. In past classes I learned concepts about communication, but with QUEST I had hands on experience. I also learned about logistical planning, and about personal development as a leader." Dave Roberts, a BU biology major, interned with QUEST two years ago and says, "I got to know myself through self experience. I also learned a lot about leadership and about organization , which are things I use everyday." Roberts added , "I gained long range goals from QUEST. During my internship I enjoyed working long hours outside , and in my biology research, the same sort of thing will be required. Now I know that I like it." "Actually, you don 't have to have only one purpose or goal in mind ," adds Badami. "You usually change your goals through the course of the internship, and no matter what the experience, or where it takes you , you will use it everyday of your life." Badami recalls one particularly rewarding experience that she will always remember. She says, "It was one day that we had a rockclimbing course, where one participant and I really clashed. I was at the top as a belayer (safety assistant), and soon this man got stuck on a climb. He kept saying he was sorry, and just held on for a time try ing to figure out what to do next. After a struggle, he began to climb to the top. First I saw his helmut rise above the rock. Soon it was his face. As he climbed all the way up, he ran over to me, and we hugged. He was so exposed and raw! It was wonderful that he was so happy, and it was I, (as safety assistant) that made him feel safe enough to make it to the top." Badami says, "you become a successful leader when you guide someone to find itin themselves to succeed in something." Rodgers says, "good candidates for the internship would be people who like the outdoors, like interacting with others and are willing to learn somethings that they thought they already knew."

As a matter of fact, Alpha Phi Omega has been an active campus organization for over 20 years. In spite of this fact, most people do not know who they are or what they do. Alpha Phi Omega, founded in 1925 at Lafayette College, is a national service fraternity with over 350 active chapters throughout the United States. The Xi Lambda chapter at Bloomsburg University was founded in 1963. The organizations is based on the beliefs and opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts of America. It's three cardinal principles are Leadership, Friendship, and Service. Cindy Mcintosh,presidentof BU' s chapter says, "These three things build up character in a person. Through these things we become aware of the needs of others. The leadership prepares us for when we graduate." Corey Wert, treasurer of the organization, agrees. "Being a service fraternity is good for people, especially those who are going to be dealing with others. I'm and education major, which means when I begin leaching, I'll be serving people every day of my life," Wert saus. Membership is open to all members of the university community. Membership is granted to an individual who goes through a period of pledgeship, meetingspecific requirements of the National Fraternity and by this chapter as well. Wert, who went through pledging this semester, says that the requirements are not that difficult. Mcintosh agrees with this, remarking that they only have to know things that will most likely be used by them in the future. Learning the history and getting to know the brothers is a large part of pledging. Mcintosh says that, unlike social organizations, A-Phi-O (as they are frequently called) accepts everyone interested in joining. Each person in the organization is different from the other. "Different is good," she says, "We're always changing. Each time a new pledge class is added , the organization changes. As of now, A-Phi-0 has 20 active members, 14 of which were inducted this semester." Since A-Phi-O is a service frater- nity, they haveparticipated in a large number of service activities throughout the years. They have held a bowl-a-thon for the American Lung Association, ushered for the BTE, and visited the children's hospital. This semester the members participated in helping with the Red Cross Bloodmobileand moving the local Head Start program to their new location. The organization will also be doing painting for Community Services and will be aiding in clean up after the Renaissance Jamboree. "In November, we also have what is called a National Service Day," says Mcintosh. "It's a day that 's put aside for all chapters to do some sort of service work. That way we're all doing something on the same day." A-Phi-O is committed not only to serving the campus and community, but also to serving each other as well. Mcintosh explains, "As brothers, they all accept each other for what they are. There is a special bond between everyone that helps them to work together." Wert adds that they are there as a brotherhood of friendship. "If a person is down, or if they have a problem, another brother will always help them. Or even when there's not a problem for that matter," Wert says. A total of 10 service hours are required by each brother per semester. That is less than one hour per week. Service hours can be work, but most people are just happy to be there and are glad to be helping ..." Wert says. "It's that special bond when we're working together that makes it fun ," says Mcintosh. As for social activities, most brothers are friends and get together often . There is also an annual Alpha Phi Omega Pizza Pig Out, as well as a banquet and a picnic. Fund raisers are also a part of the organization 's semesterly agenda. This coming fall and next spring, the BU chapter will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. Anyone interested in pledging this co-ed fraternity "should come to the' rush meeting in the fall and find out what we're all about,"says Mcintosh.

As an OWL she encouraged incoming freshmen to take advantage of all of the activities that the university has to offer. "The more you put into college, the more you get out of it." An unfortunate thing often happens to students. They end up getting so caught up in their classes and earning a hi gh GPA that they forget to become involved in the different clubs and organizations that the university has to offer. "Some people are too hung up over trivial things, and end up taking school too seriously," said Lisa Kerprich , future elementary school teacher. She continued to say that the communication and leadership skills that students develop through activities outside of the classroom is what will get them the job in the long run. "I don 't have a 4.0 GPA, but I do have experience, which will get me hired over someone who has a 4.0 with non e," stated Kerprich. "High school is just something you have to go through, college is so much more," said Galli. "It has been the best experience of my life and I don't regret coming here at all." "I'll never forget my years here," added Kerprich. "It's something that just got better and better as time went on." As freshmen they came to BU knowing that their lives were going to change. The year 1988 seemed a very long time away. Four years of their lives revolved around the Union, classes, familiar faces on campus, endless parties, and dreams about the future. Now the year is 1988, and with graduation less than two weeks away the time has finally come for them to turn their dreams into a reality.

Pizza wars' proving to be the latest advertising battie You have heard of the "Cola Wars" and the "Burger Wars", but there is a new fight evolving on the battlegrounds. The weapons are pepperoni, extra cheese, onions and green peppers. The belligerent superpowers are Pizza Hut and Dominoe's. Of all fastfoods.pizzais America's most popular. There are more pizza parlors than hamburger establishmentsin the United States. And now pizza is the focus of a giant marketing war. This marketing war includes maneuvers such as half-hour delivery guarantees, two-for-one offers , and advertising strategies to build namebrand awareness. "Anyone in the business will tell you that the pizza wars exist," says Micheal Raymond , director of marketing at Dominoe's, the number two pizza chain and biggest deliverer of pies in the United States. Micheal Jenkins, spokesperson for Pizza Hut , the leading chain of pizza makers, says, "Advertising creates raging, the product that caused the the image, and the image is what fight is changing. As orange juice isn 't just for breakbrings the customers." Certainly there are incentives for fast anymore, pizza is not reserved staying in the battle. According to a only for dinner.

Pizza remained a local food until the early 1900s when immigrants from Naples started making the delicacy in the New World, mainly New York. After World War II, when the returning soldiers brought with them a taste for the tomato pies they had eaten in Italy, pizza gained popularity in the United States. Today, even as the pizza wars are Listening important by Staci Wilson for The Voice "Nobody 's listening to me!" All too often we find ourselves saying this. Why aren't people better listeners? How can a person improve this important communication skill? Listening is not just hearing. To actually listen to a person, the listener must hear with attention. This however, is not an easy thing to do. People don 't listen well for a variety of reasons. Often , the listener is preoccupied with personal concerns or the person may think he/she is listening when actually they have tuned out the message because the subject is too familiar or too complex for the listener. And many peoplejust don't know how to listen. While the speaker is only able to speak at 100 to 140 words per minute, the listener is able to understand 600 words per minute. Many people use this extra space in their mind to daydream, to think about personal interests or to plan a reply to the speaker. To be a good listener, this extra time should be spent trying to understand what the speaker is saying. Active listening is a concept that incorporates this idea of understanding in its philosophy. In the listener's response to a message, the active listener rephrases briefly what the speaker has said for clarification. Active listening takes the burden off the listener because by rephrasing what the speaker says the listener can be assured that he/she has understood the message. If the message is repeated inaccuratel y, the speaker knows there has been a misunderstanding. Communication skills were studied by Larry Barker in 1981 for his book Listening Behavior. Above all other skills, listening occupies 53 percent of a person 's time, followed by reading at 17 percent, speaking at 16 percent and writing at 14 percent of a person's time. So, if so much time is spent listening, how can people become better at it? There are four ,ways to improve listening habits.The listener should focus on the present message of the speaker. If the mind wanders, successful listening has ended. Suspend judgement on what someone is saying until the person is finished speaking. If the listener prejudges the communication, he or she will have biased ideas on where the conversation is going. Listen to what is not being said and watch what gestures are not being made. The tone of a speaker is important to what he or she really means. A sarcastic or sad tone and eye contact or lack of it often says more than the actual words. After the speaker is finished talking, check listening accuracy. This requires the listener to check to see if he or she understands what the listener has said by using active listening. To become a good listener, a person must practicejust like in any other learned skill. It is, however, impossible to be a good listener all of the time, but imagine how many conflicts can be avoided if people began to listen to what they only now hear. The pizza industry is accomodating demands for variations of the traditional pizza pie. Hawaiian, barbecue, Mexican , and pita pizza are just a variety of the number of gourmet pizzas evolving.

Co-op programs provides learning in a work environment by Marcie Abruzzese for The Voice Cooperative Education , Co-op, is a work/study program that gives students the opportunity to learn about specialized areas and gain practical work experience. "Co-op is a relatively new program at Bloomsburg," said Ruben Britt, director of the Cooperative Education/ Internship Placement Programs. The program has been in effect about three and a half years. Part of Brill's job includes developing ihe Co-op program and increasing opportunities for internships. "Co-ops provide hands-on experience. It tests the student's strengths and weaknesses as well as building confidence and providing valuable contacts," B*ritt said. Nationally, 62 percent of Co-op graduates receive job offers from Coop employers. The fi gure for Bloomsburg is slightly lower, Bri tt said , but the opportunities in this area are expanding rapidl y. One recent graduate that co-opted for PP&L is now employed by that company as a systems analyst. Another graduate co-opted for the Department of Transportation , but chose to take an appointment with Shell Oil. "The Co-op made her more marketable," Britt said. The experience may be a deciding factor in some cases. In addition to these long-range career possibilities, Co-ops provide another short-term advantage. Financial assistance is a major advantage because the student is paid at a competitive level. This is one difference between Co-ops and internships, which often do not provide compensation. There are other several differences between a regular internship and the cooperative education program . First, Cooperative Education consists of at least two job assignments during different semesters. One option includes alternate semesters of full-time university course work with full-time on-the-job employment.The other consists of part-time course work and part-time, on-the-job employment. The Co-op experience may be preferred by employers because of the extended work period. Also, a distinction will be made on academic transcripts. The office is in the process of getting a course number for the Co-op number. Presently, transcripts list the experience under the course number for an internship. The program involves three departments — history, biology and math/ computer science. There is hope that at least two more departments may be added by the end of the year. Because the program is subsidized by the fed- eral government, each participating department is given $3600 for the year to develop the program. Students interested in partici pating in the Co-op program should contact the internship advisor in the appropriate department for information. Each department has its own eli gibility requirements. According to Britt , positions arc available in various areas. Generally, placement is in the Philadel phia , Harrisburg, Allcntown , New Jersey and Washington areas. "There is a strong interest by the student body," said Britt. "More than 10 percent of the student population is involved in field experience, not including the nursing and education programs." The participation level is up 39 percent from last year alone. For the moment, Brill has opted to limit his job development responsibilities in order to place the influx of applicants. "I'm glad lo sec the interest. I hope it increases," he said. This year, there has been more openings than there have been students to fill them. One reason is that most students elect to Co-op during the summer so that it will not put back their expected date of graduation. "There is more competition for positions during the summer than during the rest of the year," said Britt. The latest project underway includes Bloomsburg , Columbia University and Clark Univeristy in Massachusetts in a joint venture with the Smithsonian Institute. • Once the program gets approval, students from one of these schools can submit an application for a Co-op to the Institute which will give them an edge over oilier applicants. The work/ study will begin under the history department and may expand to include the biology department. Brill 's office provides more than just placement. Aid in writing resumes, the dos and don 'ts of an interview and simulating mock interviews are additional services. Once an interview has been set, the students can also get information on the prospectiveemployer. After some initial training, the student is given job responsibilities. "Once the supervisor sees the student is acclimated to a certain job, he/ she is given more responsibility," said Britt. Weekly logs arc turned over to the China 's 'Cultural Revolution ' An experience remembered by Weiwei Cal for The Voice Writer ' s note: In 1966 the Cultural Revolution took place in China. The cultural , economic and productive forces of ihe country were destroyed. Schools were prevented from teaching classes and workers were idled. A11 people wereforced to be part of the "revolution ." Beginning in 1968, students were sent into the countryside to do farm work. The "revolution " did not end until 1976.

She begins to count the bubbles of rain drops and forgets about reading thep icturebook. She wants instead to walk through the rain-bubbles in her bare feet. Rain comes from the Dragon King, she thinks, doesn 't it? It could be cleansing and lucky to walk through it. But she doesn 't go out, fearing reproach from her parents for her health . Instead , she simply sits and watches. This story took place many years ago. Ten years later, during the Cultural Revolution , on a summer day most young people who came from the city did not like rain in the country of Shanxi , a province of China. "It has been raining 11 days now," I said aloud to myself, sitting on the Kang a brick and clay platform used for sleeping - in a house made of clay. It was a very small house with room only for the Kang. It was so muddy everywhere outside that I had to spend the entire 11 days inside. There was nothing to do, not even any books to read. All books had been taken away by the Red Guard and were damaged except for Mao Tsetung's wnungs. There was nothing to eat. I had used a handmill and ground maize into flour before it started raining, but there wasn't very much of it Who would have guessed that the Dragon King would want to give the world so much rain? And the millstone was so heavy. In this house there lived three little girls who were separated from their family. They were very hungry and decided to go some place to get something to eat. There was a com field two kilometers from the village. The girls went there to get some corn without regard for their safety because they might be beaten if they were caught. They staggered back to their home of clay. The rain never stopped. "I hate rain, I'm bored stiff with it," one girl complained. The colorless lines of rain continued streaming down. They were like my life: without hope, no future, without love and warmth . I spent seven years at that place. I was only 14 when I first arrived there. In the middle of the 1970s, I returned to my hometown of Beijing, the capital and biggest city in China. I sat on a bench in a winding corridor of the Waterside Pavilion of Zhongshan Park which was shrouded in rain. A small lake was in view. I had no dreams left, even though I was still young. I felt that my heart was already very old, and I wanted to go into that lake and find another world. Rain could perhaps cleanse me; water could perhaps cover my loneliness; the Dragon King mi ght give me a place to stay which wasn't made of clay. I looked away from the lake. I saw a woman in a blue skirt and pants standing near the lake. She seemed to penetrate the thick, colorless lines of the falling rain. Although she held a black umbrella, her face gave out the light and color of youth, even though my world was so dark. She struck my perplexed heart. A very young and attractive yet unhappy woman, who would stay in this world. She could receive much love from others, I thought. I saw myself as part of her. A little light appeared in the sky as I watched her. Gradually, the thoughts of the Dragon King faded. I look out of the window as sun rays shine through layers of clouds and the rainbow appear in the sky. The colorful leaves of the trees are deeper after a rain shower. The bird is singng and is perched on the tip of one tree. I stand on the soft carpet in my room and say softly to myself, "The rain has stopped, but I am so very far from my home." write. In the leaves of a tree outside, a bird is shaking the drops of rain from its wings. It is shaking itself violently as it chirps incessantly. The rain continues to fall , and I want to take the bird into my room, but it is too far from my reach. Watching the bird and listening to the rain takes me back in time.

At least one evaluation of the student is conducted by this coordinator along with two onsite visits where he meets with the onsite coordinator. Britt said he hopes to continue expansion of the program with the addition of three departments each year. An international Co-op is also being discussed to add to the experience opportunities. This is not to say, however, that Britt is not pleased with the success of the program so far. mm'^^mW^^mm'^^^ am'^^^tt r"M um m"^^^^^ut ^~t^^~~iM rf~fci*f ~in m > it—i ^m mmi Man Soviets, Americans have trouble seeing eye-to-eye on INF by R. Jeffrey Smith L.A. Times - Washington Post Servhe The Reagan administration , in a move that could complicate Senate approval of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF Treaty, has complained that Soviet officials are backing away from several agreed procedures for verifying compliance with the pact. Officials of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow protested to senior Soviet foreign ministry officials Thursday that two positions recentl y taken by ranking Soviet officials on the pact's verification are contradicted by the terms of the agreement and a record of the negotiations that produced it. The dispute concerns issues described by a State Department official as "technical , but important" to ensuring that both nations have equal rights to inspect sensitive military facilities associated with the weapons banned by the pact, which President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed last December. One dispute involves Whether U.S. inspectors can peer inside containers at designated Soviet weapons facilities that are at least 8 feet long, as the administration claims, or those that are at least 21 feet long, as the Soviets claim. The second involves whether U.S. inspectors can wander into areas, which the Soviets claim are off-limits, of three facilities out of 133 in the USSR that are covered by the agreement. State Department officials expressed confidence that the dispute will be resolved without difficulty because the INF Treaty language supports the U.S. position and Soviet officials so far have not insisted on maintaining their view. The U.S. officials are concerned, however, that any delay in resolving the matter could cause the Senate to defer its expected approval of the treaty until after Reagan meets with Gorbachev in Moscow at the end of May, denying the two leaders an opportunity for joint, public celebration. The dispute became clear several weeksago during private,U.S .-Soviet discussions to lay detailed groundwork for the myriad, unprecedented inspections permittedby the INF pact Brig. Gen. Roland LaJoie, director of the U.S. On-Site Inspection Agency, disagreed when his Soviet counterpart, Maj. Gen. Vladimir Medvedev, said the United States could not inspect certain areas of three designated Soviet facilities. The Soviets had shaded these areas in maps supplied in the final days of negotiation. LaJoie and others, including several members of the U.S. negotiating team, reminded the Soviets that the INF treaty gives inspectors "the right to inspect the entire ... site" at all 133 designated Soviet facilities. U.S. officials also challenged Medvedev's assertion that the U.S. Com& join the? f u n and eotcitement of GREEK WEEK inspectors could only peer inside containers, structures, and vehicles at the facilities large enough to contain full y-assembled Soviet mediumrange and shorter-range nuclear missiles , instead of individual missile stages as the United States has insisted. The difference is roughly 13 feet in length , according to a list of missile characteristics the two sides exchanged last year. The treaty states that inspectors can look inside containers "whose dimensions are equal to or greater than the dimensions specified...for the missiles, stages of such missiles, (and missile) launchers or support equipment." U.S. officials said Medvedev argued that since Soviet missile stages can only be assembled at a single, inspected factory with elaborate equipment, looking elsewhere for anything smaller than a fully-assembled missile is pointless. "Our basic feeling is that they are right," a senior U.S. official said Thursday, "but we cannot be in a position of trusting) them."The official added that the issue was "one of reciprocity," since the treaty allows the Soviets to peer inside containers large enough to hold even a single stage of the U.S. Pershing II mediumrange missile. Unlike Soviet missiles,'the Pershing II can be assembled in the field , and the Soviets claim this makes the task of verifying that its stages are not being surreptitiously produced uniquely challenging. But at the end of the most recent discussions, Medvedev indicated he understood the U.S. position and did not insist on his own, according to one informed official. There was no immediate Soviet response to the U.S. protest in Moscow Thursday. Meanwhile, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sam Nunn, D-Ga., expressed confidence Thurs- day that a separate INF issue, involving elimination of medium-range ground-launched cruise missiles, can be resolved by a written,binding U.S.Soviet side agreement that would accompany the treaty. The issue is whether the treaty covers the elimination of cruise missiles arrr.ed with futuristic technol-. ogy, such as lasers, microwaves and other exotic weaponry. Although U.S. and Soviet officials have publicly agreed it does, Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, Nunn and others contend there are ambiguities on the issue that must be resolved before the Senate acts on the treaty. But Nunn said Thursday that he believed the problem could be resolved without holding up consideration of the treaty, as early as May 9. Nunn 's comments followed an intelligence committee briefing by military and CIA officials on verifying the ban on futuristic cruise missiles. by Joe Pichirallo OAS and AID officials said they have been unable to agree on the ground rules for how the $10 million is to be spent. "We hope to break this deadlock by early next week,"an AID official said. The dispute could hold up the flow of nonlethal aid to Contra troops inside Nicaragua if negotiators for the rebels and the Sandinista government reach agreement this week after resuming talks yesterday on how to implement the 60-day cease-fire accord that was signed in Sapoa, Nicaragua on March 23. U.S. nonlethal aid to Contra troops inside Nicaragua cannot begin until both sides agree on how cease-fire zones, called for by the Sapoa agreement, will operate. But AID, administrator of a $47.9 million aid package that includes the nonlethal Contra aid, last week began food shipments to Contra camps inside Honduras. The deliveries have triggered protests from the Nicaraguan government and Baena Soares, m part because the commission is not yet functioning and able to inspect deliveries. Thursday, AID also launched air shipments to Contra camps in Honduras near the Nicaragua border, flying in an estimated 20,000 pounds of food in addition to about 70,000 pounds trucked in last week, according to AID officials. In a letter to Secretary of State George P. Shufcz earlier this week, Baena Soares said the shipments were in violation of the Sapoa cease-fire accord. AID officials have said they began the shipments because Contra troops, have been without U.S. aid since late February and need food. The officials confirmed that a Honduran air cargo company hired to fly the nonlethal shipments in Honduras has made a small number of supply flights to the Contras. The officials said the firm , Circle G, is a private business and is not secretl y owned by the Contras or the U.S. government. Nonlethal aid to Contras causes concern, dispute LA. Times - Washington Post Service A dispute between U.S. officials and the staff of the Organization of American States (OAS) has held up the operation of a commission that was expected to play a crucial role in administering a new nonlethal aid program for the Nicaraguan Contras, U.S. and OAS officials say. The commission, which is composed of Cardinal Obando y Bravo, the Roman Catholic prelate of Nicaragua, and Joao Baena Soares, secretary general of the OAS, is supposed to inspect shipments of U.S. aid to the Contras to confirm that no military supplies are delivered. But the panel has not begun the ' inspections because $10 million in U.S. funds earmarked for its work is held up by the dispute between OAS, which plans to do most of the been badly frayed by resignations, commission's administrative work, and the State Department's Agency dismissals and strikes.

Times - Washington Post Service Symbolizing the erosion in the last few months of what little common ground had been established between Jew and Arab during a century of struggle, a two-foot-high wooden fence stood at the center of a Jerusalem stage one morning last week. The fence separated Palestinian and Israeli panelists who participated in a "town hall" meeting arranged by the producers of ABC's "Nightline," which was being broadcast live to the United States. It was demanded by the Palestinians as a condition of their participation - a constant reminder that although they might agree, reluctantly, to appear, they were there to address an audience thousands of miles to the west, not the panel of Israeli politicians a few feet away. To some who have watched the growing desperation of the conflict on both sides since the beginning of the Palestinian "intifada," or uprising, last December, the wooden fence might have been a memorial to the dream of coexistence between the estranged peoples who jointly inhabit the Holy Land. Seldom have Jews and Arabs alike been so embittered toward each other and so forboding in their assessments of the future. If the dream of coexistence is not dead, they say, it is at least in intensive care, badly in need of some redefinition that will give it new hope. Coexistence, one Palestinian journalist said, "is a myth invented by the Israelis. And the Arabs pretended to go along with it for their own purposes. In a city like Jerusalem, coexistence was a public relations business rather than reality." Wrote Jerusalem Post columnist David Krivine: 'The old-time Utopian dream of two communities living together in peace and harmony is shattered beyond repair." Even Cabinet Minister Moshe Arens, whose rightist Likud Bloc is seen as the chief defender of the status quo in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, wrote in another column in midApril that "next to nothing" has been done during the yearsof Israeli rule in the territories to establish good relations with the Arab residents. "Just about the only significant connection existing between them and Israel these past 20 years has been the daily entry of about 100,000 Arab laborers into the Israeli economy to do the work that Jews were not ready to do," Arens wrote. But since the intifada began, even that tenuous economic connection has m $R8rc\ DUUf U H STEPHANIE \ A4ARA GLM/HOE ff | 1 ] sL \Jm HBP OK«..MW, W // / / // TO // ALL // ^ / ^^^^y^ff / L l T l l S] ^ ^ ^*********u B= C>r alB VOl ir - \^ Tjpv ovtfkr^von** yone... -*. \ \ MA3fJ!

The Orioles well dc served the (Mention because of their ( for21 start. 'Pico 's were the. Imighinj stock of the Illinois , but when 1 think o: Jic Orioles 1 think of the 1967 Topp; baseball card entitled "the Champs." Pictured on ihe cwnl were Franl Robinson , who won the 1966 Amcri ;an League MVP , Hank Hsmcr , man lgcrof the World Champion Orioles ind Brooks Robinson , the defensive minded third Ivisenuui. Frank Robinson was a triple crowr winner with a .316 batting average, 4S iiome runs, and 122 runs baited in. He led the Orioles thru the Amcricar League with a 97-63 record. The Orioles met the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Scries. The O'i swept the Dodgers al though the games jxpect for Game 3 were pitcher 's iuels.Thc scores were 5-2,6-0, 1-0, 13. 20 year-old pitcher , Jim Palmer was brought to national attention in the Series. In mid 1968, Earl Weaver replaced Hank Bauer as manager after a brief skid. Weaver nicknamed "Captain Hook" reigned over the O's until 1982. In 1969, the O' s led the Majors with a 109-55 record only to be upset by the New York Mets four games tc 3ne. Earl Weaver became the only manager in World Scries history to be yected from a game. Pitcher Mike Cuellar won the Cy Young Award with Detroit 's Denny McLain for the American League's best pitcher. IN 1970, Baltimore again won ovei 100 games with a 108-54 W-L record. Six Orioles hit 15 or more home runs. Pitching keyed the Orioles drive as Dave McNally (24-9), Mike Cuellar ?24-8), and Jim Palmer (20-10) be:ame the firs t trio to win 20 or more games for the same team since 1956. In the World Series, Baltimore bea Jie Cincinnati Reds in five games Brooks Robinson won the World Series MVP with a .429 batting average and several great plays at third base. Ir game three Dave McNally became the first pitcher to hit a grand slam. In 1971, again the O's won over IOC games with a 101- 57 record .Pitching igain keyed the drive this time with four 20 game winners. This was the second time in history, first being the Chicago White Sox in 1920. The staff Dave McNally (21-5), Mike Cuellai [20-9), Jim Palmer (20-9), and Pai Dobson (20-8), received no consideration for the Cy Youn as Vida Blue walked away with it. In the World Series, the O's faced the Pittsburg Pirates. The Pirates wor in 7 games.Roberto Clemente won the MVP for the Pirates. In 1973, the O's boasted Cy Young winner Jim Palmer who was 22-9. A Bumbry won the Rookie of the Yeai Award and unseated Paul B lair as new ;ontroller of the outfield. In 1975, Jim Palmer won his second Cy Young with a 23 win season. Boston beat the O' s for the division championship. In 1976, Jim Palmer won his thirc Cy Young with a 22 win season. Although they lost the division to the Mew York Yankees, they acquirec Reggie Jackson and Kin Holtzmar from the A's for basically Dan Ford. In 1979, the Orioles won 102 game; and lost 57, but they lost to the Pirate; in the World Series four games t< three. Mike Flanagan won his first Q Young Award with 23 wins. Ear Weaver was voted Manager of th< t ear. In 1983, the O's had a 98-64 W-L record. Joe Altobelli replaced Ear Weaver as manager. In the Work Series, Mike Boddicker received at tention as rookie winner. They bea the Phillies in five games. Ricl Dimpsey won the World Series MVP Cal Ripken Jr. won the MVP for the league. In 1982 Ripken won the Rookie of the Year. For the last 30 years, the O's have the best overall record. Players like Boog Powell, Mark Belanger, Franl Fobinson, Brooks Robinson , and Ker Singletary gained fame through the Baltimore organization. From a bad start this season , th< Orioles should realize that it is time U. bring in new players to the minoi league season. Manager Frank Robin son will be able to get the best from hi: players. Don't expect the O's to finis! is bad as they started. As the card fron 1967 says "the Champs " expect the Orioles to return to glory.

Impasse yet to be admitted from page 8 negotiate, the owners would consider "a number of options and concepts." He did not elaborate on what those might be. Union officials have concluded that they cannot win free agency at the bargaining table are willing to risk any terms the owners might impose in the interim. Culverhouse said , "maybe at some point we'll agree there's an impasse. Then we can consider exercising our rights under the law to implement changes in the existing system or adopt a new one." Under an impasse the owners are free to impose the terms of the last offer at the bargaining table. It would seem unlikely that the owners would make any public acknowledgment of an impasse, however, until Doty ruled on the union 's preliminary injunction request. Culverhouse said the NFL owners were confident the Minneapolis court would approve the freeagency system now in place. Under it, a player can change teams, as Marshall did when he jumped to the Redskins, but his old team has the right to either match the offer or be compensated. The union argues that the compensation requirement in effect bars free agency. Legal sources familiar with the union 's antitrust suit said it was un likely Doty would grant the preliminary injunction. They said it would be easier for the court to first hear the union 's case and then , if it ruled in the players' favor , it could assess damages against the owners. If a preliminary injunction was granted and then the union lost the case, they said, it would be almost impossible to undo the damage. One source who has been following the NFL situation in recent months said Judge Doty probably would accept the NLRB declaration of an impasse and then proceed with the antitrust case. Before free agency could be granted , he said , "The judge would have to find the league committed an antitrust violation , and that's no easy step." ATTESTTIOST: Kelly Cuthbert had six major contributions to the victory over Franklin and Marshall that guarenteed the Bloomsburg University women 's lacrosse team its first ever winning season in the 12 year existence of the sport. It was Cuthbert who scored six goals herself to lead all scorers in the 11-9 win over theDiplomats. Bloomsburg shot out to a 6-4 lead in *(or equivalent degree) the first half of their game on the strength of Cuthbert 's scoring. Franklin and Marshall matched Bloomsburg in the second half, with each scoring five , but was unable to muster any more of an offense. Bloomsburg's defense stymied the entire offense of Franklin and Marshall by allowing theDiplomats to get off only 14 shots. By comparison, the Huskies rattled off 30 shots on the goalie tandem of Liz Eide and Lori Kester for Franklin and Marshall. They responded well to the task and turned away 13and five of those shots, respectively. Goalie Ruth Doyle for the Huskies was the author of six saves as she was aided by her team defense tremendously. Besides Cuthbert's six goals, five other Bloomsburg players netted goals for the Huskies. Chris Scavo, Nancy Warmerdam, Betsy Warmerdam, Chris Pierie and Lisa Rhodes all scored lone goals in the well-balanced offensive attack. On the Diplomat side of the ledger, it was Marcia Gayoos leading the scoring with five goals. Karen Weiner netted two goals and Tina Stathis and Steph Kate each scored a single goal in the losing effort. The victory put the Huskies at 6-4 and assured Bloomsburg of thier first winning season in their 12 year exsistence. Bloomsburg, who qualified for the Pennsylvania Conference Championship playoffs for the third year in a row, will begin those same playoffs this Friday at Shippensburg. They play Millersville at 3:30 and the winner will play Shippensburg, Saturday at 2:30. ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦! ¦ ¦¦ ALL COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJORS * WANTING TO START A FULL-TIME CAREER IN DATA PROCESSING. 1 DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE UNISYS (SPERRY) 1100 MAINFRAME?

Absolutely nothing except that they have all appeared at one time or another in one of my columns under the heading: From the Locker room. As all things must , it is time for FfL to come to an end. Two years is along time and , for some tilings , way too long. I have been Sports Ediior of The Voice for exactly thai amount of time and feel that it is time for mc to step down. This decision has nothing to do with the threats on my life after my column about all the Philadelphia teams. Rather , it is time to allow some new blood in ihcofficc and get some new opinions in the air. I am sure that everyone is sick of my Penn State columns by now, as well as my Big East rantings and ravings. Still , there have been a few columns that I will remember wilh a smile. First there was my "I low wc measure success," aboul the runner-up field hockey team. Then there was the column about high school football. How many people remember the story I told about the senior (Tony Frecre)who went in and caught the game winning catch in The Big Game as lime ran out, only to do it with a broken hand? Or what aboul the one about the unrul y fans at high school basketball games and how they were ruining it for the kids? Then there was the one that took the most effort to write, the column dealing with prcgame prayer and how a young student in Georgia was getting even wilh a small town by taking his case to court. He won his case, but in the long run , wc all lost. I have also gone out on a limb in some of my columns by making a prediction here and there and , most of the time, being right. Penn State fans can attest lo the column that said in December lhat Penn State would beat Miami Jan. 2 and Dave Sauter would cal his words. You are also reading the column of the man that called Miami's win over Oklahoma the year after that. Of course, I have had my misses. Who could forget my prctournament pick, Syarcuse, falling just one point short of making me a sage. I picked Tyson over Holmes in six and Washington over Denver only I thought it would be a close game. However, my most memorable column had lobe the one where I picked Sugar Ray Leanord to not onl y go the distance with Marvelous Marvin Hagler, but also take his belt. Noone can ever say I didn t because I have it all in print...somewhere. Maybe someday, Penn State will win another championsip or John McEnroe will return to tennis or Tony Freere will make another game-winning catch , this time in college. And when they do, I'll be waiting, in the locker room of course, to tell you what I thought about it all. Until then, see you at the Penn State games.

NFL Players Association scores a major victory If the union wins , it would mean the Washington Redskins would not ha ve to give the Chicago Bears two firstround draft choices for signing linebacker Wilber Marshall. Union officials said that might be academic, however, since the Bears already had used one of the choices in last week's draft. Richard Berthelsen, counsel for the NFLPA, called the ruling "very gratifying " and said he hoped to have a preliminary injunction as soon as possible to give the players a chance to seek free agency before the opening of training camps in early July. The effect of Thursday's NLRB ruling was lo unlock an extremely compl icated legal situation that had barred the union from pursuing an antitrust suit. After returning to work, the union filed a federal suit against the league in Minneapolis late last year. At the time, it asked U.S. District Judge David Doty to grant a preliminary injunction against the league because an impasse had been reached in negotiations for a new contract. So long as it had a valid labor contract, the NFL was exempt from antitrust law on the free agency issue. Cicierski breaks the school discus record Kevin Krane had a good day against Joh n Hopkins on Sunday. The Huskies split Photo by Rob Sammann with them and evened their record a 17-17. Bloomsburg University discus thrower Jill Cicierski broke the school record of 130 feet, one inch in the track team's competition against the Millersville Metrics Saturday. Cicierski threw 143 feet, 81/2 inches to exceed the old Millersville Stadium record by 13 feet, 31/2 inches. Cicierski's throw placed her first in the discus competition. Cicierski also placed fourth in the shot competition with a 37-foot-oneinch throw. In other women's track action, Deanna Brown took second in the 100 meter high-hurdle with a time of 15 minutes, six seconds. Brown also placed fourth in the high jump with a 5-foot-2-inch leap. Lynne Ritz took first place in the 100 meter with a time of 12:71 and second in the 200 meter with a time of 25:93. Lisa Virus placed fifth in the 200 meter with a time of 26:29. Laurie Alexander and Brenda Bissett also took fifths in their 3,000 and 5,000-meter events with times of 10:50.88 and 18:34.6, respectively. In men 's action, Stan Share placed second in the 10,000 meter event wilh a time of 33:31.5. A fifth place in the 5,000 meter was taken by Mark Elsasser in 15:41.4. The BU Huskies took fourth and fifth place in the long jump competition when Carl Wiggins covered a distance of 21 feet, 10 inches and Randy Rulapaugh performed a 21-foot-7inch leap. Both university teams will prepare to participate in the PSAC Championships at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The competition is scheduled to begin Thursday, May 5 and conclude Saturday, May 7. But Doty said he would not rule on the union 's request until the NLRB determined whether an impasse had been reached. The ruling Thursday allows the union to go back to court immediately. John Jones, a spokesman for the NFL Management Council, said he did n ot expect the owners to appeal the general counsel's ruling.
