Book cites Bloomsburg University as high quality institution by Jen McGin ley Staff Writer Bloomsburg University is one of 115 public colleges and universities listed as "the best" for students to receive a lop quality education in a new book released this September. How to Get an Ivy League Education at a State University by Martin Nemko of Oakland, California used some of the following criteria in choosing the top 115 institutions: quality of students, quality of faculty, class size, quality courses in the libera l arts and sciences, and location. Bloomsburg University President President Hairy Ausprich said the book's assessment of the university is generally fair. Auspritch commcrted , "We are*pleased to be included in this list of the top 115 public institutions. We, of course, have always known wc provided excellent educational opportunities at an affordable cost."He thinks that a major factor in Bloomsburg being listed in thobook results from the amount of student retention. The main reason for this hig h retention rate is the quality of the faculty. As Nemko notes, Bloomsburg "has grown into a solid comprehensive university, with the unusual combination of firm discipline and academic standards at a public college price." In the chapter which lists colleges and universities with outstanding features , Bloomsburg is mentioned as being a university where teaching counts more than research in terms of hiring and promoting faculty. The honors program received mention for its excellence. The book also cites the uniqueness of Bloomsburg as a small university composed of strong colleges offering varied areas of instruction. Dr. Gerald Strauss, of the Eng lish Dcparuncnt , views Bloomsburg as a multi purpose institution. "Courses here are more vocationally oriented. Bloomsburg aims to meet the desires of the student in teaching them how to think. Students arc not here to be spoon fed an education ," said Strauss. He believes most students enjoy the size of the university as underclassmen and are able to have more contact with senior faculty members, whereas at an Ivy League school the student is more likely to encounter the graduate assistant. Forensics Team host of novice tournament by John Risdon News Editor The Bloomsburg Forensics Team hosted its largest novice tournament this weekend with 11 visiting college and university teams competing in speaking events ranging from persuasive speaking to dramatic interpretation. Over 100 competitors and coaches participated in the tournament entitled the Third Annual "Through'the Looking Glass" Novice Tournament. Forensics team coach and tournam ent organizer, Mr. Harry Strine III commented, "Communications is vital in today 's world. Forensics competition helps students improve reasoning, listening skills, and their analytic ability. The goal for this competition is to give beginners a positive experience in forensics and hope they conAs a novice competition, the tournament was based on individual performance, not team competition. Three Bloomsburg students placed in the competition with Rich Knight taking second place in prose interpretation. John Holliday placed fifth in impromptu speaking and Deanna Mills was awarded a superior rating in impromptu speaking. Competitor Debbi Cahoone of West Chester University, com- mented on misconceptions people hold on forensics. She commented , "Many people think of Quincy (a famed TV medical examiner) when they hear the word forensics and others think that it only involves debating. I'm entered in what is called Dramatic Duo, where two people interpret a small part of a play. There is a lot more going on here than debate." When asked what play Cahoone and partner had selected for the competition, she smiled and replied " The Abbot and Coslcllo classic, "Who's on third base" routine. "Forensics offers many outlets for students to be creative and teaches them to be resourceful ," Strine added. "In the extemporaneous draw event entrants are given 10 cards with topics concerning current world events, economics and politics and they select a topic and are given a half hour to "compose a five to seven minute speech on the topic. This requires the competitors to stay ahead of current events and be in touch with the world around them. Strine continued ,"Many of these students involved with forensics are getting the most out of their college educational experiences." Anyone interested in joining the forensics team can contact Harry Strine at 389-4576. A junior marketing major said that she feels that Bloomsburg is a good university, but it is up to the student to educate themself. She said,"Most of my professors don 't make any sense in lectures. I have to come home and read the text to make sense out of the material." She agreed that the faculty was usually quite willing to meet with the student, but that didn 't necessarily mean that she learned anything more from die meeting. Another point of view from a sophomore education major expressed much satisfaction in the education he was receiving here at Bloomsburg. He came to Bloomsburg for two reasons: it has a good reputation as a "teachers college" and it fit his budget. "After a year here, though , I realized that Bloom also offers a great social atmosphere," he said. Honor statistics reported Competitors in Saturday 's novice "Through the Looking Glass" Forensic tournament relax between rounds in Bakcless Hall Photo by Jim Betlendorf Hugh McFaddcn , director of planning, institutional research and information management released statistics concerning the numbers of honor students at Bloomsburg University.

Times-Washington Post Service ATLANTA-Facing the prospect that the South might again vote solidly Republican, top officials of Michael S. Dukakis' presidential campaign gathered secretly Saturday to help fashion a fallback strategy that will focus resources on the five Southern states where a Democratic victory still seems possible. The officials reviewed polls taken in selected states after last week 's presidential debate and planned to narrow the Southern battleground significantly in an effort to forestall a feared Republican sweep, according to knowledgeable campaign aides. The campaign now intends to focus a newly honed message at what aides call the "Big Five"-Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia, the only Southern states where Dukakis appears to remain within striking distance. Campaign officials have dismissed as ridiculous gleeful Republican assertions that they are beginning a quick march out of the region. But their closely guarded meeting, chaired by political director Charles Campion , served as tacit acknowlegement of the gravity of the situation the campaign faces. Nowhere in the South are the Democrats running any better than even. Without victories in the region, which holds 118 of the country 's 538 electoral votes, Dukakis would probably have to counter with a solid sweep of the industrialNortheast and Midwest. And even in the Big Five, things haven 't been going Dukakis' way. "We're really sucking wind down here," said one state director, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Throughout the region, the campaign has been put on the defensive by a Republican strategy that has sought to tag Dukakis as a liberal hostile to Southern values. "Labels don'tmatter,"insists Larry Harrington, Dukakis' Southern political director. But interviews last week with campaign officials, analysts and voters in the states where the Democrats have staked their claim suggest that tire Republican attacks are sticking. 'There are only four words we need to mention,"boasts Tommy Hopper , who directs Vice President George Bush 's campaign in Tennessee and claims to be running 11 points ahead. (The Democrats say four.) "ACLU. Gun control. Furloughs. Taxes. Down here, one of those four is bound to hit home." Such wounding attacks put the Democrats in a familiar situation. No presidential candidate since Reconstruction has been elected without significant Southern support, and the Republican lock on the region has been broken in the past two decades only by Georgia's Jimmy Carter. Dreams that the Democrats mi ght dominate again this year died with Dukakis' nomination , but campaign officials continue to hope that, with Texan Lloyd Bentsen on the ticket, the party might score in a few states to relieve pressure elsewhere. "Dukakis can win without the South ," says Los Angeles Times political analyst William Schneider. "But there's no room for error." If the Democrats can build a Southern cushion, it will almost certainly be in the Big Five. Registered Democrats in those states vastly outnumber Republicans. Generally, Democrats in the region say, the Democratic party in the Big Five states has been less polarized by race than elsewhere in the region, and white Democrats have proved more favorably disposed to stick with the ticket in national elections. Moreover, says analyst Schneider, a populist tradition in these states might make it possible for populist Democrats to outvote the conservative Democrats who remain suspicious of Dukakis. The Dukakis campaign saw other advantages from the start in the five states, and targeted most of them for in tensive campaigning. Kentucky, perhaps their best bet, faces high unemployment and boasts popular Democratic state officials. Arkansas, another good possibility, faces similar economic problems. North Carolina 's economy has boomed, but unevenly, and Democrats hope that resentful have-nots will align with a substantial bloc of liberal Democrats. * The other two states present more difficult challenges. Tennessee's Republican party is virtuall y moribund , but the state remains deeply conservative. Georgia is strongly Democratic, but racial tensions persist, and Dukakis has not returned there since the Atlanta convention in July. But Dukakis' weakness in the region in the primaries-Florida and Texas were his only Southern victories on Super Tuesday-has come to haunt him. In Kentucky and Tennessee, where Dukakis did hardly any organizing in March, newly arriving state directors were stunned last month to discover that they were barred by quirky state laws from spending funds raised by the Democratic National Committee. Admittedly worried, they have had to scramble to schedule in-state fundraisers. And because Dukakis remains litde known throughout the region, the Bush campaign has been able to strike effectively even in the Democratic strongholds, launching the harsh attacks that painted Dukakis as a man hostile to Southern values. "Around here," said Bill Wells, a West Tennessee manufacturing employee, "folks see some city slicker from up North telling him he's going to raise taxes." "You know, I liked him pretty good until he started talking about taking my damn guns away," said firefighter Richard Hutcherson. That issue has dominated the dialogue for more than a month in Kentucky, where the Bush campaign made much of Dukakis' pro-gun control position and the Dukakis campaign took out full-page ads accusing their opponents of lying. "Either way ," says Bush's Southern coordinator , Lanny Griffiths, " we win." Even in North Carolina, where the 1984 Senate contest between Gov. Jim Hunt and Sen. Jesse Helms was so bitter that politicians have been reluctant to engage in mud-slinging ever since, an onslaught appears to be imminent. "We're ready to go," says Bush state chairman Bill Graham, the state banking commissioner. During the interview, he voices delight that a Jesse Jackson rally in town the day before received extensive media coverage: "Now we can go back to talking about three men on the Democratic ticket, with Bentsen the odd man out." With such an arsenal, says University of North Carolina political scientist Merle Black , the Republicans have a formidable advantage: "They simply have much more negative things to work with." That has presented the Dukakis campaign in the South with what its state directors acknowledge is a difficult twofold task. In the space of five weeks, they must blunt the power of the harsh Bush attacks and then project a compelling image of their own that persuades Democrats who voted for Ronald Reagan to "come home." "The task of the next few weeks," said Tennessee Rep. Jim Cooper, ' 'is to make Michael Dukakis into a good ol' boy."

Page S ¦ 'Commentary Page 2 Features Page 4 Comics Page 6 Sports Page S Debate viewpoint lacks obj ectivity To the Editor Objectivity (n.) — Having actual existence; uninfluenced by emotion or personal prejudice. That is the American Heritag e Dictionary definition of objective. It is safe to say that The Voice ' s political columnist, Paul Mellon , does not have hispiclurc beside this definition. Having read two of Mr. Mellon 's columns , I have gained new insight into the orig ins of the phrase "closedminded conservative." Mr. Mcllon 's last column focused on the firs t presidential debate, which , as he accuratel y slated, ended in a draw. Having said that , Mr. Mellon got around to his real aim , which was to throw sideways jabs at Michael Dukakis while extolling the virtues of his obvious favorite, George Bush. To wit: "He (Bush) effectively drew a sharp comparison between himself as a moderate conservative in touch with Middle America and Gov . Dukakis whom he showed to be an old-time liberal from die Carter years who would raise taxes , weaken defense, and crush die longest economic recovery since WWII. " Did we watch die same debate? If George Bush is so "in touch with Middle America", wh y did he get trounced in die Iowa primary? And in talking about the great "economic recovery ", how can you ignore; the wid- ening gap between the rich and poor, and the statistical evidence showing that real spending power for the average American family hasn 'tincreased one cent? Later in the column , Mr. Mellon attacks Dukakis for calling die Vietnam war a mistake. Seriously Mr. Mellon. Can you say with a straight face that the Vietnam war was not a mistake? That is was not ill-conceived and poorly fought? If it wasn 't a mistake, why did a good conservative president like Richard Nixon end the war? Maybe Watergate, but we wouldn 't want to get into that , now would we? Then this statement: "It is much to W WANT70 KMOW H0W l eOT TVllS eLDVEANI? [RESE NEW BASEBALL '— SHOES AMD ADIRTSIKE? Bush s credit that he rtas redefined tliis campaign to focus on the issues." With all due respect, that has to be the icing on thecake. George Bush has spent the last two months of the campaign making absurd accusations that Michael Dukakis is unpatriotic. Mr . Dukakis served in the Army in Korea. His loyalty has never been questioned. Is his patriotism really an issue, or is talking about it a way to avoid questions on the Iran-Contra affair? I could go on, but I have neither the lime or energy to delve into Mr. Mcllon 's other shaky assertions. Sincerely Scott McLatchy Give credit where credit 's due To the Editor Bloomsburg University has always prided itself on offering each student a quality education and, in fact, encourages students to become wellrounded during tileir college years. But what about a student who has chosen to become well-rounded by aquiring a double major? What does BU currendy offer this student at graduation time? Two diplomas recognizing twice the effort put forth by the student? No, only one diploma stating a single major is given. Is there a line on a transcript that the student has completed requirements for a second major? No, the classes speak for themselves, and probabl y not loud enough for a graduate school or potential employer to hear. Isn 't it time that students carrying a double major be achnowledged for all of their achievements, not just some? Yes, and something needs to be done before more double majors graduate from BU without the recognition they deserve and need to succeed.

This is my goal. I trust it will be others also. Sincerely Tim Ail Food Service Director Political debate or dramatic pro duction? BOSTON—For days we had heard about the handlers and strategists, the managers and debate coaches. We heard them wrangle over the height of lecterns, the lighting and distance between candidates. There were profiles on the speechwriters who specialize in oneliners that would be delivered and pollsters who tell them how to pitch to the undecideds. We even heard about the rehearsals — who played Bush for Dukakis and Dukakis for Bush. Finally last Sunday night, two candidates for President of the United States came out to face the American people all by themselves. And I suspect that few of us could hear their words without also staying conscious of the stage directions. Could you see the riser under the governor's lectern? Did the Vice President's voice go tinny on him? Had Dukakis been told to smile? Would Bush he able to finish his sentences? And if I may ask another set of questions: Is this the year we have finally all become insiders? Have we become so sophisticated about the backstage politics that we can no longer see it like a voting audience, but only like drama critics? The debates Sunday night began with a television commentator warning us that these "debates" would really be joint press conferences. They ended with the same commentators telling us amiably about the spin controllers on the way. After all, he seemed to suggest, we all know about spin controllers now, the way we all know about debate coaches. It wasn't just the media that watched for the one-liners; so did the viewers. Even Bush joked about it. You could almost see the stage crew in every answer. As predicted , as planned by the inner cirlce and reported by the media, Dukakis got in the deficit, health care and his "passionate" desire to be commander in chief. As predicted, as planned by the innercircleandreporledby themedia, Bush got in his Pledge of Allegiance and a bit of Boston-bashing. Almost every response could be ascribed , in the insider vocabulary we all understand now, to "targeted" voters. Passion for the woman 's vote, toughness for the Reagan Democrats. The only unscripted moment in this confrontation was near the closing when a fly circled the governor's head. One could imagine a member of his staff saying, "Damn , why didn't we rehearse with a fl y?" In the early hours of Monday morning, the reporter on Good Morning America began the debate analysis saying, "Both candidates were very well rehearsed. Who were they targeting?" And in the Miami He rald , ordinary viewers said things like, "He had good one-liners." "He seems to have a problem emotioning." "He made himself more of a human being." It reminded me of what a seasoned political reporter said to me just days ago. She went out into the heardand to find out what people were talking about this election year. She found out they were talking about campaign strategy. If you prefer, blame it on Tedd y White. He is the one who began to write about the inner workings of presidential campaigns in 1960. Or blame it on the egos of those managers and strategists, coaches and handlers, speechwriters and campaign poll-takers who are only too eager to let us know how important their roles are. But once, only the political junkies knew the language and the jobs of the "operatives." Now that inner circle has widened to include the great mass of voters. And as it widens, so inevitably does our cynicism about politics. The more we hear about campaign strategies, the less we accept a candidate's beliefs. The more we hear from "operatives," the less faith we have in a candidate's leadership. If we think that the presidential candidates today are small, maybe it is not just because we see them up close and personal on a 19-inch screen. It may also be because every day we observe the directors and producers, and hear what they are trying to accomplish with this scene and that line. Even this live debate carried the subtext of the whole 1988 campaign: Pay no attention to the man in front of the curtain.

I'd like you to meet two hypothetical friends of mine... let's call them Jane and Tarzan. Jane is an independent junior here at Bloom. She wants her own career in marketing when she graduates. She likes to date guys, but doesn 't want to get involved with anything serious. Tarzan is an independentsenior , also here at Bloom (what a coincidence , eh?). He plans to become a high school Biology teacher. Tarzan likes to date a lot of different girls, but nothing serious—you know what I mean ( n ud g e ,n u d g e ,w i n k ,wink!). Jane is a bimbo, while Tarzan is a stud. Yes, the never ending saga of the double standard . Guys have a reputation to live up to, as girls wind up with a reputation to live down. But things seem to be changing, something wild is happening... why, it looks like a sexual revolution. Jane isn 't a bimbo afterall , she 's human. It's true , the Bloomsburg male species is beginning to realize that a girl with a brain can be beautiful and is something to be sought after... like a commodity. And girls are starting to give themselves some credit , they can date a different guy every week— and that DOESN'T mean sleep with them—without feeling sleazy. Now you 're saying, "C'mon Jen , what's your point?" Well , my point is that a conversation between a guy and girl no longer merely consists of your basic congenialities. It mig ht even go something like this... JANE: Hi Tarzan , how ya doing? Do you want to go to the movie on c ampus this week? TARZAN: Sure, I hear that Wallstreet is a really interesting Im about what really goes on in the stock market. JANE: That's what I heard too, and if I'm going to have a career in marketing, I'd better see just how competitive CEO's President' s of the maand jor corporations are today. TARZAN: That' s really good planning Jane. Okay, it may not go exactly like that, but you get the idea. This revolution isn't about burning bras or protesting a war (at least not this week). It's all about mutual respect, just like Aretha Franklin was singing about years ago... only now it' s time to get up and dance ladies, oh and gents, too! And for those of you who were quite satisfied with the "Me Tarzan , you Jane" conversations (I do like to include everyone)... well, maybe you too will come to see that there is more to life than swinging on branches that are bound to snap. Opinions welcome If we can stand a few more words about Guns n Roses, I have some. First, Mr. Anderson , while you had your dictionary open you should have looked up the word opinion. According to Webster,an opinion "is a belief not based on certainty but on what seems to be true". That is what the commentary page is all about. Opinion. No, I did not take the time to research every perverted act by every band since the beginning of time. My commentary was based on a gut reaction to something I saw that was disturbing. If you think calling that picture art can justify the use of it forme, you are sadly mistaken. I would probably find the painting just as offensive if I saw it hanging in the Gutenheim. However, thank you for realizing my point. It certainly doesn 't belong on a t-shirt. The Mona Lisa would loose a bit of artistic value if it were placed on an Iron Maiden concert shirt. You were also mistaken about who said comparing Guns n Roses to the greats of rock was scary.It wasn't me. I was referring to a letter to the editor which appeared in the Sept. 15 issue. Remember your fan club, "Students Against Scott Anderson 's Taste in Music"? Not to belabor this issue any longer, let me just say thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion. That is your right. I still may not agree with you , however I am sure many do not agree with me. I write my opinions to stimulate thought and initiate response. It would be great if everyone took the time to stand up for what they believe in as you did. I have been asked why I printed your letter, considering you attempted to "ri p me apart." If I had not I would have deprived you of your right to an opinion and quite frankly would have lived up to the label of narrow minded. However, please keep in mind that my opinions, respected or not, are just that — my opinions. %%* Wnu Karen A. Reiss Kehr Union Building Bloomsburg University Bloomsburg, PA 17815 Editor-in-Chief.

Times-Washington Post Service WASHINGTON-More than two dozen bureau chiefs, columnists and political reporters from leading newspapers gathered recently to hear Michael S. Dukakis' foreign policy adviser expound on the Democratic presidential nominee's views. They sat-middle-aged , faintl y rumpled white men-in respectful attention and hoping for news on complex issues of war and peace from the diminutive and matronly figure in purple silk at the head of the table. The gathering was nothing unusual for Madeleine Albright , a Georgetown University professor who says that in the field of foreign policy, the meeting rooms are invariabl y full of men. But it was a harbinger of tilings to come in diis town , which despite the decline of many hoary male traditions, has rarely had to deal with women at the center of governmental or political power. Mrs. Albright represents a first generation of women political operatives and advisers that has come of age with this presidential election season and now influences the top levels of both the Republican and Democratic campaigns. Regardless of whether Dukakis or GOP nominee George Bush wins the presidency, some of these women will be propelled into the -highest ranks of the new administration-integrating the elite inner sanctums of the White House at a level far above the secretaries and mostly junior female aides who work Uicrc now. Their advancement is not yet complete. No woman is actually at the pinnacle of either campaign. Susan Estrich , 36, who won national attention last fal l when Dukakis named her the first woman manager of a presidential campaign , has been "layered ," insiders say, by the return of predecessor John Sasso, who came back in a more senior role. And Margaret Tutwiler, 37, seen by many as the most influential woman in the Bush campaign, derives her power from her association with campaign Chairman James A. Baker III , a long-lime mentor whom she serves as deputy and "right arm ." The light circle of confidantes and strategists immediately surrounding each candidate includes people most like themselves: middle-aged , white and male. The Dukakis crowd of Paul Brountas , Nicholas Mitropolous and Sasso simply has a m ore ethnic flavor lhan the combination of Baker, Robert Teeter and Roger Ailcs. But not far behind , helping to raise the money, plot the strategy, put out the message, hone the issues, run the machinery and make sure each candidate 's massive entourage somehow gets from point A to point B three or four times during any given day, there are women. Bright , shrewd , tough , educated , articulate, attractive and drivcn-npsl a decade younger lhan the 51-year-old Mrs. Albright-lhcy have joined or surpassed similarly equipped and inspired young men in the upper echelons of American politics. "There has definitely been a quan tum leap since 1984," said Sheila Talc, 46, Bush 's chief spokeswoman, who was Nancy Reagan 's press secretary when the Reagan-Bush team was rc-cleclcd that year. Ms. Tutwiler, a veteran of every GOP presidential campai gn since 1976, could not recall a single woman holding a post more senior than treasurer in previous cam pai gns. Aides to Dukakis made similar observations. Mindy Lubber, 35, a longtime Massachusetts political activist, said she was "shocked" at how many women were involved in running the Dukakis campai gn. "With a couple of exceptions , the enti re administrative staff here is run by women ," said Ms. Lubber , who as chief scheduler for the Dukakis-Bcntsen ticket commands a frantic nerve center in Boston dubbed "die pit." There has been much debate between the two campaigns about which candidate has the most women in trul y senior positions. The original appointment of Ms. Estrich and talk of the "gender gap" that earlier seemed to. plague. Bush made it a campaign issue. There is only one woman intimately involved in running Mike Dukakis ' campaign , and because of her the Bush campaign was made to look sexist," said Janet Mullens, 39. deputy political director and media director for Bush. "Nobody is even talking about the fact that Estrich has not been seen or heard from in weeks." "Everybody trotted Madeleine Albright out as a top adviser. We laug h at that ," Ms. Mullen s added ."We've got 37,000 Madeleine Albrights running around. She is just not a high level player. Issues people don 't do that. " But the Bush campaign also advertises an issues person , domestic policy adviser Deborah Stcclman , as one of die women play ing key roles in that campaign. A 33-ycar-old former public defender from Missouri who zoomed her way up the political ladder in Washington , Ms. Stcclman has been credited with sensitizing Bush to issues of particular concern lo women , such as day care. In recent weeks, his poll ratings wi\hwomen have improved enoug h to suggest the gender gap has disappeared. "I'm delighted if our example has encouraged diem to hire some women ," said Ms. Estrich , who still directs the Dukakis staff on a day-to-day basis, diough Sasso has taken over the tactical planning and strategy that guides the effort. "For much of the primaries there was no Sheila Tate , dicrc was no Deborah Stcclman." Fact is, neither campaign knows much about the oilier, and the struclu res are so different dial comparing staffers job-for-job is misleading. By rough approximation , il appears they are about equall y represented by women at the top. Moreover, this phenomenon probably has less to do with cilher of die candidates than with the evolution of women in all professions. "Women are advancing now because they paid their dues," observed Linda Peck, 38, a public relations consultant who worked in the Democratic campaigns of Jimmy Carter and in the Carter White House before becoming a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd , D-W ,Va> ...".Women have-..alwayvdonc-./thf. work in campaigns: answering the phones , licking the envelopes, writirg memos for those briefing the candidates," she said. "Only recently have tiiey been getting the chance to brief the candidates themselves."

This, show created an atmosphere of tense, moving energy that no one should miss. The play revolves around Eddie, a New York longshoreman , his wife Beatrice, the niece Uicy arc raising, Catherine. Beatrice 's illegal immigrant cousins Rodolpho and Marco are taken in by the family, putting them in great danger if it is ever discovered that Eddie and his family are hiding illegal aliens. The play then focuses on the tensions that build when Catherine and Rodolpho fal l in love. The cast of View deserves special acclaim , especially Shawna Van Tatenhove, who accepted the role of Catherine only two days before opening night. The production ran its course smoothly from beginning to end , tension building every step of the way. Eddie , played by Tony Deitterick , reaches out widi his hate, pain , rage and passion in a way that should leave very few untouched. Marco, convincingly portrayed by Andrew Baylcy, is very "old world," very honorable and very protective of his own. Rodolpho (Wesley A. Young) was bclicvcably excited , in love, angry; a sweet kind of guy that every girl dreams of meeting. Newcomer Van Taienhovc took the ball and ran with it in her brilliant portrayal of Catherine. The audience felt her love, her confusion , and her divided loyalties with her. Beatrice, played by Kim Sloan , is aunt ,' wife, and cousin , trying to make it all work. Sloan did a marvelous job , especially in the scenes where she confronted Catherine or Eddie. MIMIIIIIHII IIBII iiiiiiiiiininiTnraaTl Mr. Alficri (David Waterman) is a lawyer, and narrator of this story. Eddie consults him , thinking that Rodolpho is onl y interested in Catherine so that he can marry her to become an American citizen. Alficri tells the story with convincing speeches. Although he missed several lines, he covered so well that it would require a familiarity with the play to catch him. The rest of the cast, David O'Brien , Douglas Rapson , Bill Greenly, and Todd A. Miller rounded out the cast as background characters, and also deserve credit. The movementof characters getting into place was at times distracting, but not enough to hurt the overall performance. The entire cast and crew acted as an ensemble in a way BJoomsburg University has not seen in many moons. There was a unity and flow to the production dial docs Director JodyLynn Swartz credit. The set, designed by John Wade, advanced the storyline and added immensely to the tension-building as did the costumes, created by Karen Anselm. The multimedia projecdons used with the set made the show even more incredible with walls of buildings vanishing to show a room inside where the scene took place. The lighting, by T. Andrew Wright , also enhanced the action of the play by helping to isolate certai n characters , placing them in their own separate pool. It is also impressive to note that the American College Theatre Fcsdval judged this production for inclusion in national collegiate theatre competition in Bingham ton , NY. Results will be known next week. This is a show not to be missed. Performances this week are at 8 p.m . in Mitrani Hall of Haas auditorium , Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Oct. 7 through Oct. 9.

Program Director Tracey Grace describes BUQ as " ... an alternative station. That is, we're an alternative to the top 40 stations in the area. ... That 's why we do mostly progressive — because an alternative stadon needs alternative music. And it's good music — it really is." Some of die people who really seem to appreciate BUQ are the disc jockeys. They are required to play the progressive format during each of their two-hour shows. Though they sometimes find the format a hassle because they do no get to play the music they want, most of the DJ' s agree that the progressive style is a posidve feature of the stadon.

At the time, the station 's general manager , Dan Fickcs, and Program Board Director Ted Hodgcns organized an outdoor public showing of die official moment that WBUQ would initially hit die airwaves. So, on Sept. 16, 1985 at 6 p.m., the spinning of the first records started in front of the entire university, with representatives of BUQ handing out birthday cake and free albums. However, since that fateful day in 1985, there have been some changes in the station 's format.

Writer/Director James L. Brooks ' (Terms of Endearment) second film was nominated for seven Academy Awards last year. The academy made a mistake in not awarding any Oscars to Broadcast News, but Brooks makes no mistakes in this comedy-drama masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of a Washington network news station«the film focuses on the lives of three people. It explores how each person affects the other , and how each is affected by the broadcast news business. Meet Jane Craig (Holly Hunter), one of the producers of the news. She 's hardworking, demanding and obsessive. She has no social life because she's constantly working day and ni ght. In a funny running gag, she cries every morning to relieve stress. Meet Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks), one of the smartest, but least respected , reporters at the station. Murph, the physical comedian, comes to Bloomsburg Oct. 8. He's so smart he graduated from high school at the age of 14. But he 's also insecure and lonely, and hides behind his hilarious sense of humor , so no one knows how much he really hurts. Meet Tom Grunick (William Hurt) . He's the new anchorman on die block. Tom is handsome, well-spoken , and... an airhead. As he says in the film , "I don 't even understand the news I' m ? reading." He admits that he 's not die smartest guy around, but he doesn 't do anything to change himself. All three interact with each oilier. Aaron has loved Jane probably since die first time he met her. Jane cares deeply for Aaron , but just as a good friend. When Tom arrives, Jane is so confused about her attraction to him because he personifies everything she hates about the news business: he's a fake. He's an anchorman because of his looks, not for his qualifications, ^nd , of course, Aaron is very jealous if Tom. All this may sound like a light, never forget. everyone worships as a god. Broadcast News is one of the best films to come along in a while. Very rarely does a film explore a subject as thoroughl y and realistically as this one docs. It 's even more rare that a film lias such three-dimensional characters. You see all sides of Aaron , Jane, and Tom: anger, desperation , happiness , jealousy, and sadness. Their characterizations arc so complex and so real. The humor rises from the characters. There are no cheap laughs. The situations ring true because in a threeway relationship like Aaron 's, Jane's, and Tom 's, someone is bound to get hurt. Broadcast Newsisatilm lhalblcnds happiness and sadness successfully, is perceptive and witty, and , most of all , is a film lhal cares very deeply about its subject and its characters. Show dates and times are: Wednesday and Thursday , Oct. 5 and 6, at2:30 p.m. in Kehr Union; Wednesday and Friday nights at 7 and 9:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 in Carver Hall. 441don't want a lot of hype. I just want something I can count on.^ Comedian entertains in unique manner by Diane Wojnar for The Voice Have you ever seen a human buffoon , someone who cleverly combines the magic of the circus, the bite of the stand-up comedian, and the refined movement of the mime and gymnast? If you 've never had the chance to experience the kind of person described above, you will soon have your chance. The Bloomsburg University Special Events Committee presents Murph: The Physical Comedian Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8:30 p.m. in Carver Hall. The admission charge is f ree with your Bloomsburg University I.D. with valid Community Activities sticker. Murph is a popular comedian who has always been well recieved and who has many times been asked to repeat performances. He has been performing for the last twelve years and began his entertainment career after receiving a degree in physical education from East Stroudsburg University. He competed as a professional freestyle skier, then cofounded two touring companies — Mountain Mime and Clown Shoes — both of which have performed throughout North America and Europe. Murp h has entertained in his unique style throughout the world. He was awa rded the Number One Clown in 1987 at the International Circus Competition in Paris. For the past four years, Murph has been performing his solo show extensively abroad for schools and festivals, including the World Expo '88 in Australia. Murp h has appeared on the television show Great Space Coaster, as well as on PM. Magazine and numerous talk shows in the Boston area. Murp h has done repeat performances at such universities as Boston, East Stroudsburg, Rochester, Rutgers, Johnson and Wales , and yes , Bloomsburg —just to name a few. Whether he's juggling, riding a unicycle, or whatever... his clowning is a joy to behold. So come to the show, and experience a performance you will fluffy romantic comedy, but it 's not. It's so much more.BroadcaslNews is a comedy with a message. What Director Brooks is saying is that the news business is all a show. It 's all style over substance, which is proven throug h the character of Tom. Brooks also explores relationshi ps perceptively and realistically. There's such an authentic feel to the confusion in the newsroom as lastmiifiitc deadlines arc barely met, as special reports arc being prepared , and as employees arc fired because of massive budget cuts. The acting is flasvlcss , from the littlest gestures and facial expressions lo the spoken dialogue. Holly Hunte r is fantaslic , Albert Brooks is hilarious , and William Hurt is completel y bclicvcable as the good-looking-airhead anchorman . It 's one of Hurt 's toughest roles because he plays a character so bcncalh himself. The supporiing cast shines as well, especially Jack Nicholson as the head anchorman , and Bill Rorsch , whom Some long distance companies promise you the moon, - but what you really want is de: pendable, high-quality service. ¦ That 's just what you'll get when : j you choose AT&TLong Distance * Service, at a cost that's a lot less J , ^ V"'- ' ^ V\ lllil^ffip^ T^;^S^^^^ BB^K ' ¦* .; r /• ^ ' am ^Bl >lll ife: ^ ! * |^|X\f' >,*: ¦ %£*. 1^"V ' .

Ger. BB Brown also stated that the procedure was "just an uncomfortable th ing." When athletes are tested, they are taken into a room , sign a form , have a urine validator constantly present during the procedure, and cannot leave the room until two sample bottles are filled with 100 ml of urine. It 's a known fact that wrestlers don 't have a lot of fluids in their bodies because they must maintain their weights for competition. Brown said, "They make us drink and eat stuff while we're in that voom and I was seven pounds over my weight limit!" He suggested that the NCAA test people before a national tournament begins. "It would cause an athlete more embarrassment by getting caught after the act lhan before the act. It could cut out a lot of problems." He cited the Ben Johnson case. "What about the guy who look second? He could' vc had first if that guy had not taken steroids." Brown was also skeptical about the randomness of the selection at the 1987 national tournament. Both Brown and David Kennedy, a twotime BU wrestling champ, were sick and taking medication such as nasal spray and cough drops. "It was ironic that we were both taking medicine and we both got picked ," Brown stated. "I think its odd that they picked 16 people at random from all the teams in the nationals, and they picked two from BU. I think they picked on a lot of little schools in the random testing last year." He added , "If somebody wants to take steroids, it 's up to them. I see now what the effects can become, if someone wants to take steroids, they 've gotta ask the question, do I really belong where I' m at? If you feel fine getting where you 're at by using steroids, that 's your decision. It's a 149 pounds Gold: Arsen Fadzaev, USSR Silver: Park Jang-Soon, S.

"Everybody was surprised ," he said. Roger Sanders, head wrestling coach , takes a different view . "I think drugs are a problem period , not only in athletics , but in society today. Personally, I feel there is no place for them on the playing field or off the play ing field." The problem not only involves education , but most certainly choice. "Some athletes are aware of the problems associated with steroid use, but they arcchosing to ignore them. Some people do not know the long-range side effects that might be involved ," Sanders stated. Drug testing by the NCAA usually takes place at national tournaments and certain football contests. Selection for the procedure is mostly done on a random basis, but athletes can be selected on the basis of playing time, positions , and suspicion as well. And , these testing procedures are very costly. The tests are strong enough , but is there enough money to do it?" Adrian asked. Sanders stated , "Testing by the NCAA is nice and that 's good for all sports. If we can deter one person , then it's been a successful endeavor." He added , "I would like to see us be able to test at local levels. I wish that the expense involved in drug testing wasn 't so much , and that we would be able lo do it more often without violating anyone 's rights." BU Junior Scott Brown , a wrestler who competed in last year's national tournament , was randomly selected at the tournament for drug testing and tested right after his match. He believes that the procedure is necessary but that it violates athletes ' rights. "But you can 't get past it, you gotta test people."

I I ¦ | From the Cheap Seats (Knowing there 's, not much to say; a short note on the Phillies) by Sean Ryan Sports Editor Phillies, the name itself sends chills to all Philly fans such as myself. Here is just a brief depressing synopsis of the season. Low notes of the season: Two weeks ago the Phillies needed to win two games to make sure they would not hit triple digits in losses. Meaning if they did' t win two games they would have accumulated 100 losses or even more. OH, my god. But not to worry my friends, our Phillies actually did win two more games and ended the season with a record of 64-95. Well , actually there is still lots to worry about. They were plagued with men on the injured reserve during the season, including Hayes, Schmidt , and Milt Thompson to name just a few.' The best pitcher for the Phillies was Kevin Gross, with a record of 12-14. High notes of the season: The amazing rookie Ricky Jordan started for the Phillies about halfway through the season when Von Hayes was injured , and finished with the Phillies highest balling average, .313. Look for him to be in contention for rookie of the year, but don 't expect him to win it, Steve Bcdrosian , the Phillies best reliever finished with 27 savcs,4th bestin the National League, almost half of the Phillies wins. Samuel almost won the triple doubleawardfor the second consecutive year, but fell two triples short. He hit 32 doubles, 8 triples, and 12 home runs. What to do: With new General Manager Lee Thomas looking into the future look for a lot of changes in the Phillies rosier. To name just a few, we need to get rid of the Manager, Lee Elia, but that has already been taken care of. One step in the right direction for the Phils.They have not named the new Manager but rumors have it that it may be Nick Leyva of the Cardinals. At shoprtstop, we need to "relieve" Steve Jeltz. He hasn't done scratch since becoming a Philly, he batted .187 for the season. For the Phillies to become a contender, we need to get a better shortstop. We need to bag catcher Lance Parrish. He was expected to do great things for the Phillies, an he hasn't impressed anybody in the slightest. Pitching. The only bright spot in thier staff is last year's Cy Young Award winner, Bcdrosian . Not one Philly pitcher finished with a winning record. They need a Goodcn or a Herschciser, an ace pitcher to build around the rest of the staff. We need a good left-handed rcIeiver. As of now Bruce Ruffin didn 't work out, he finished with a 6-10 record and a 4.43 ERA , not impressive nimbers to say the least. They have to realize that they arc not one or two players away from contending. "This team needs some serious surgery, not just a few bandages." Juan Samuel was quoted as saying "Everybody picked us to win , to hit like hell, to run like hell, and we've haven 't been able to doit. If we get picked last next year, that will be good. Nobody will expect anything from us. Maybe will suprise a few people. We have to stop talking and start doing something." Thanks Juan.
