Helfrick and Greeks team up to battle drugs by John Risdon News Editor State Senator Ed Helfrick teamed up with Phi Delta sorority and Beta .Sigma Delta fraternity at Saturday 's Homecoming parade to spread the word on drugs to the crowd and onlookers-Just Say No. He commented after the parade that he is glad to sec the race aginst John Showers for the 27th district scat winding down. Part of his stance against drugs include legislation introduced in a five part package to strengthen existing laws. The laws include drug-free school zones, modeled after New Jersey legislation , which call for a manditory sentence of three years for selling or delivering illegal substances within 1000 feet of a school , college or university. Other tencnis of the legislation in- clude 20 year manditory sentences for people manufacturing or selling drugs for profit , and a $100 surcharge for every drug and alcohol conviction to fund education on drugs. "Drugs are a number one priority for me and I think it will be for everybody," Helfrick commented. "The legislation introduced was a step towards getting really tough on drugs and is aimed at sellers and producers." Helfrick stated that he is proud of Bloomsburg Univers ity and his son graduated from the school in 1986. He backed recent hikes in the Stale System of Education budget which decreased tuition by $52 for the 91,000 students attending the slates 14 higher educational institutions this spring. Senate Bill 1437 provided $4.43 million for educational and general approprations monies for ihe slate system which is a 5.5 per cent increase over last year.

After channeling his skills from sports to politics Duke was promoted to AP' s Washington bureau in 1957. Two years later he was hired by The Wall Street Journal and covered John Kennedy 's presidential campaign. Duke joined NBC News in 1963 where he became known for "clear analysis and deep probing of the issues." Eleven years later he switched to public broadcasting and Washington Week in Review. Washington Week in Review, the longest running program on PBS, recently won the DuPont-Columbia Award for television 's outstanding public affairs program.

The topic will be "Bloomsburg Week in Review:Young Journalists and Washington Politics". The lecture and programs are part of the Provost's Lecture Series. Next month's speaker is Douglas Fraser. Fraser is a member of Chrysler s Board of Directors and an expert on labor-management relations. In private meetings with his top arms con troladviscrs , Democratic presidential nominee Michael S. Dukakis is said to return again and again to a question that sharply defines a key difference with his Republican opponen t, George Bush. Wh y, Dukakis asks, docs the United Stales need any more strategic nuclear weapons than il has now? The Massachusetts governor , an advocate in 1982 ol freezing U.S. nuclear weapons testing, production and deployment , remains deepl y skeptical thai eight years of nuclear rearmament under ihe Reagan-Bush administration has improved U.S. security. As president , Dukakis says, he would try to negotiate bans on underground nuclear explosions and ballistic missile flight tests needed for new weapons development and he would attempt to halt deployment of highly accurate nuclear weapons. None of these goals has been a high priority for the community that dominates U.S. arms control policy-making, and achievement of them would disrupt the milita ry 's plans to build a new and ever-chang ing array of nuclear weapons systems, possibly including missile defenses. In contrast , Bush says thai modern nuclear arms have brought the United Stales increased security by enhancing its political stature and demonstrating American resolve. He favors deployment of new weapons designed to shoot down enemy satellites and a new land-based missile capable of striking Soviet targets with pinpoint accuracy; continued under- ground nuclear tests; and continued flight testing of ballistic missiles. Bush also has supported the bitterly conteslcd "broad" or permissive reading of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty, which bolh Congress and the Soviet Union rejects , and has backed a costly program to develop ballistic missile defenses "as fast as we can." Bush and Dukakis bring sharply contrasting ideas to the debate over the relationship of nuclear weapons to national security . Dukakis declared last year that "the price tag of the arms race goes up and up, but the product has no value. There is no return on the investment." He emphasizes the high cost of buildingand maintaining nuclear force and says that deep reductions on bolh sides couldevcnlually allow the United States to divert funds in to non-military cxpcnditurcs/'National strength cannot be measured in guns and missiles alone," Dukakis said. Behind his skepticism about the need for additional nuclear weapons Dukakis' view that the existing U.S. arsenal is "enough to blow up the Soviet Union 40 times over" and "far more than enough" to deter any attack. "Nuclear war can nei ther be won nor survived ," he told the Air Force 1986 letter opposing construction of a supplementary military communications network designed to carry orders for nuclear strikes in a prolonged war. In 1984, he barred Massachusetts' participation in federal planning for relocation of millions of residents in the event of a nuclear attack. At the same time, Dukakis successfully opposed efforts by some Demo- Affirmative action growing stronger by Sheraton Smith Staff Writer During the past few years the administration of Bloomsburg University has focused on minority recruitment and retention. An important influence in making this policy succcsful is an effective affirmativcaciiondepartment. As chairman of the a ffirmative action , George Mitchell is one influential administrative member who can initiate and enforce the placement of minority employees to the university community. Mitchell noted that since 1982 there was an increase i n the number of black university employees from eight to the present number of 26. In 1984 there was a total 18 minority employees. This year, that fi gure has risen to 55. He stressed that the goal of affirmative action is lo increase equal employment and education opportunities cratic activists to include a call for large military spending cuts and aU.S. pledge of "no first use" of nuclear weapons in the party 's campaign plat- ' form. Under pressure from the Bush campaign in September, Dukakis also gave unqualified support of several new nuclear weapons systems initially ordered by President Jimmy Carter, including a highly accurate submarine-launched missile, the D5; a long-range, radar-resistant airlaunched cruise missile; and the Stealth bomber. He has resisted conservative Democrats who want him to endorse with qualification the costly deployment of additional land-based nuclear missiles such as the Midgetman or the MX as urged in 1983 by President Reagan's Commission on Strategic Forces and accepted by many Democratic legislators. HaroldBrown .aDukakiscampaign adviser who was Carter's defense secretary from 1977 to 1981,adds that Dukakis is probably "more anti-nuclear than most U.S. presiden ts but less so than Reagan ," who at the 1986 U.S.-Sovict summit meeting in Reykjavik , Iceland, unsuccessfully proposed lo eliminate all nuclear ballistic missiles. Bush , who is less enthusiastic about drastic arms reductions than Dukakis, has made the need to continuously build new nuclear weapons a major theme of his campaign. "Only a willingness to keep our arms up to date makes the Soviet Union respect America's deterrent," he told an August convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. "Only the constant modernization of our forces , complete with the testing of new systems, gives the Soviets the incentive to negotiate real arms control agreements."

In today 's society, any attempt lo implement and enforc e an affirmative action program is considered unpatriotic , an attempt to forc e inferior employees to work for companies that don " : want them or reverse discrimination. Wh y is this country so hung up on offering minorities and women the same opportunities for advancement and success (Ex. careers, education. etc.) as it does for the white. Christian males? The answer is simple. The country is run by "men " who view sharing power with minorities (anything that isn ' t white) and women as a threat , not only to themselves , but to the nation as whole, especially in the areas of politics , private industry, foreign affairs and any other subject that comes to mind. Also, any efforts to decrease -since it can never be truly eliminatedattitudes of discrimination and prejudice , after 100 years of practice, is seen as a restriction on freedom and government medling. Even though our country is "probabl y " the most advanced nation on this planet jusi imagine how great our nation would be if more support were given to affirmative action goals instead of crying about test scores, reverse discrimination , and special treatment towards particular groups.

Celebrity A rtists 'B alloon Man 9 marches with BU parade Royal Ballet twirls through Mitrani Michele Ii. H upp Staff Writer About 1200 students and community members attended the performance of The Royal Ballet of Flanders, sponsored by ihe University Celebrity Artist Scries, Thursday evening in Mitrani Hall. The 35-mcmbcr troupe performed a scries of serious ballet and li ght comedy ballet pieces. Selections included , Allegro Brilliante , Go! Said Max, a modem dance piece with two dancers, Symphony in D , and the Act III of Don Quixote. Technical difficulties involving the sound equipment caused the show to begin about 20 minutes laic. The company 's crew attempted lo correct it, yet sound problems prevailed throughout the show. The scraping and hilling of ballet slippers against ihe stage was heard above the recorded music distracted the audience. In addition , prior to the opening of the curtain , it was announced that four dancers were replaced for others. Details were noi provided. Allegro Brilliante , a brisk , quick piece utilizing five couples with one dancer of each couple being the soloist, opened the show with enthusiasm. A modern piece with classical and contemporary movements/Jo/ Said Max , demonstrated rivalry between a male and female dancer in a comedy setting. The comed y routines in Joseph Haydn 's Symphony D were well-received by the audience. Elaborate props and stage setting contributed lo the drama of Don Quixote , Act III. This enactment brought the dancers into a more serious li ght than previous pieces. Although both the comedy and seriousness of the performance proved successfu l by the response of the crowd , the dancers movements looked choppy and short; ihcy were not utilizing the full range of motion. Asa group, the troupe often failed to move in time with the music, and when the dancers realized Ihcy were behind step, they would rush the music. The result was sloppy movements in some instances. However, the audience didn 't seem to notice, or mind. According to Nancy Voughl , Administrative Assistant of Student Affairs at Bloomsburg University, ihe troupe has received 514,000 for the performance. Voughl would like lo commission the troupe to return lo Bloomsburg but not for at least five years because she docs not want to repeat events. "I like to have new events for the students. I wail until ihe student graduates until I bring the same performers back," she said. Tickets for nearly all theatre performances at Bloomsburg University arc free for students with BU idenlilcalion. Tickets arc available al the information desk in Kehr Union.

It is not all so ominous — not with Bonnie Raitt as Dumbo 's devoted mom; Aaron Neville giving the ballad treatmen t to The Mickey Mouse Theme; LosLobos — in the LP's most perfect pairing — going tropical with / Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song); and Ringo Starr following a disturbing, climactic Pinocchio passage with the closing When You Wish Upon a Star , just as he came in after Revolution 9 on the Beatles' White Album lo soothe us with Good Night. Occasionall y the ideas behind the pairings seem more important than the performances. It is high concept to have Suzanne Vega do the tide song in the monotone of a Nig htmare on Elm Street survivor, or the usually anti-romantic Sinead O'Connor sing a stark Someday My Prince Will Come,or the Replacements do a sloppy rock knockoff of Cruella De Ville.

It seems as though my two editors are always hassling me for my latest feature or column. It would only seem fair that The Voice provide funding for my research on this column. However, as much as I would enjoy that, I think I will have to support my own addiction. That in mind , I present this week's addiction. Altered Beast is for those who ever enjoyed reading talcs of swords and sorcery. It is rig ht up the alley of those of us who used to play the game Dungeons and Dragons. The premise behind the game is fairly simple. An evil scorccrcr has wisked away the daug hter of some lesser diety. Don 't ask me wh y this guy can 't save his own daughter ~ that 's why he brings you back from the grave. As you wander through this fantasy world you must face all sorts of nasties that want to slop you in the worst way. These guys range from your typ ical zombie to flying demons to nasty "hcad-suckcrs" (I don 'tknow if that 's the technical term , but you get the idea). As you make your way through the level, you get the chance lo kill the sacred two-headed white wolf. This guy will die releasing a magic sphere that will allow you to "Power Up." After collecting three of these power pellets, you arc supcrchaged into a werewolf, gargoyle, and more. Each of these creatures has different powers to defeat the nasties that you will face during your quest. At the end of each wave, you fight an even bigger and baddcr nasty. I mean , isn 't that the way it always is in these games ? Don 't get loo comfortable in that new body of yours, though. After each wave, the wicked sorcerer appears and changes you back to your human Bobby Unscr, Jr. serving as honorary chairman , ihe organizaiion attracted more than 3,100 dues-paying members and quickly became one of New Mexico 's largest non-pro fi t consumer organizations. In March, 1988 the organizaiion branched into ihrcc other stale — California (naiional headquarters are in Costa Mesa), Colorado and Arizona — and became known as Beer DRinkcrs of America in those four stales. The organization currentl y has more than 10,000 dues-paying members , according lo Fagan. Beer Drinkers of America is now expanding into 14 more slates: Texas , New York , Florida , Pennsy lvania , Illinois , Ohio , Michi gan , New Jersey, Wisconsin , North Carolina , Virginia , Georgia , Missouri and Indiana. "The response to Beer Drinkers of America and the 'Party Smart' project has been phenomenal and has al lowed our program to expand quickly," Fagan said. Nancy Olcnick , Ph.D., the organization s national education director, said the continuing expansion will introduce more young adults lo the "Party Smart " message of rcsonsibility and ihe consumption of alcohol. "'Party Smart' is a peer-driven program that encourages young adults to adopt responsible and safe drinking habits ," explained Olenick, a former University of California researcher who had studied alcohol abuse. "The important message wc carry forward through 'Party Smart ' is to think before you drink. If you 're not sober, or if you 're not sure, don 't drive! Let someone who is sober do the driving." Through direct contact wilh college campuses, and through law enforcement and other civic alcohol awareness programs , Olcnick and Beer Drinkers of America encourage young adu l ts over the age of 21 to "Party Smart."

D 'A ries < News Edito r Saturday 's cold , rainy weather discouraged many Husky fans from attending the annual Homecorn ing Parade. The crowd lining Main Street was notably smaller than previous years. Desp ite the poor parade turnout and the miserable weather, Karl Steiner was there as fie has been for the past 20 years. Heads turned as Steiner walked down the rain-slicked street Saturday morning. Smiles greeted the short , clderiy man wearing black-rimmed glasses and carrying maroon and gold balloons in one hand. Decked in a red , green and blue plaid suit and wearing a matching wide brim hat he strutted down the street cry ing, "Balloons , balloons! (Jet your homecoming balloons!" Steiner has been selling balloons at the Bloomsburg Homecoming Parade for the past 20 years and plans on coming back for many more years. "The people in Bloomsburg are always very nice ," Steiner said. "I enjoy coming here and working the parade. The people here are more friendly th an most other places." Ori g inall y from Greensburg, Steiner says,"!' ve been a carnie all my life ." He exp lains that carnies are peop le who travel from town to (own performing and entertaining at parade s, fairs , and carnivals. Steiner also faithfully attends the Bloomsburg Fair each venr. Many Bloomsburg University students and alumni remember Steiner from previous years. One student commented that Steiner seemed to be just as dependable as the parade itself. Steiner became a carnie when he was six years old. Pete the 10-Foot Giant, a carnie , introduced Steiner to the world Of traveling shows, bright carnival lights, and big crowds. Since then he has returned again and again to the same towns to entertain and bring smiles to the faces of young and old. Steiner vividly remembers each town lie 's been in. "I'm in the 1979 Bloomsburg yearbook ," he says proudly. "There's a picture of me righ t in there." At 75 years old , Steiner has a vitality and cheerfulness that warms the hearts of both adults and children alike. Rain or not , parade-goers can be sure to spot Steiner walking down Main Street wearing his plaid outfit and carrying his balloons. Steiner says he'll definetly be back next year to bring a piece of sunshine to the annual parade. ¦ ARBY'S offers you an opportunity to he part of the r,ewest and best team ifchffV /IUJ IJ& of salespeople in town. ^^ WE CAN PROVIDE • HOURS based on your needs (Early, Morning, Day^ and Evening) • Competitive Salaries!$3.6'5-$4:6o/hr. • Paid Training • Movement into Management • Uniforms • Employee Discounts FOOD SERVICE EXPERIENCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ARE HELPFUL BUT NOT REQUIRED.

The evening is sponsored by the Special Events/Minority Affairs committc of the Program Board. r~ BSTC never looked like this by Douglas Rapson Staff Writer My famil y is dominated by Huskies , but sometimes it seems wc can 't be the same breed. My dad is an alumnus of Bloomsburg State Teacher 's College and bolh my sister and I have made BU our choice for«sol!egc. I still remember Uic fi rst lime iluii my parents brought mc up to Bloom. I knew that Dad had graduated from Bloomsburg . And yet , he looked around as though he had just landed on Mars. I knew the di ploma in our den read Bloomsburg Stale Teacher 's College. I couldn 't help but ask, "Are you sure its the same Bloomsburg? Maybe lucre 's two of them. " But back in 1961 , when Dail graduated, BSTC looked very different than BUdoes today. There were onl y two dorms on campus. About 100 men , mostly football players and other athletes, lived in the men 's dorm. All of the other guys lived off campus in houses around town. When Dad mentioned Waller , I finally thought wc were gelling somewhere. But then he went on to say how Waller Hall , the only women 's dorm on campus, was situated where-the Scranton Commons now is. The building was Z-shapcd and one of ihe arms had the commuter lounge and school store. This was not the same Waller that many of us dread. This was not the Waller that often limes seems like a giant Hoover Vacuum , sucking the money out of our pockets. I tried to explain this to my dad , but all he kept say ing was that the area I was talking about was where the old football stadium used lo. be. And next to that , was the old baseball field. There was no field on the upper campus. There was no upper campus. Of course , many of us have classes in , or at least know of , Old Science and Navy Hall. These buildings were around in my dad's day. Ho wcver , jus i when 1 thoug ht wc might be talking about the same Bloomsburg, Dad started talking about Sutliff Hall , the science building. Dad did/ecogni/.e many of the landmark s in town. Apparently, the Woolworth's that I get some of my supplies at was doing a booming business back in 1961 as well. Some changes have been made. The Aivin a Krausc Theater, now home lo the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble, was a movie house during Dad' s lime at Bloom . "I can remember seeing 90 percent of Bridge on the River Kwai in that theater," Dad once told me. Apparentl y, girls could only be out until a c'eriain time and good old dad didn 't realize that the movie would run so long. So Dad and his dale had to leave the film ri ght before the end , and sprint up the hill to make her curfew. It seems so hard to believe that things could have changed that much in only 30 years. But I guess they have. Because when 1 asked Dad what The Voice was like back then , he said that the school paper was a lot heavier in his time because it was chiseled on sionc tablets .

I'hoto by f>CA Productions Homecoming lias evolved over time by Melissa Harris Staff Writer "November J6: Alumni visited. Bloomsburg 14 East Stro udsburg 0. "' That was all thai appeared in the 1930 edition of the Obiter to record Homecoming for prosperity. Apparently it wasn 'tabi g deal way back when , at least not bi g enough lo merit much of an entry in the most permanent record events at Bloomsburg State Teacher 's College. One would think that the hisiory of Homecoming would be rather well documented. It 's been around nearly as long as yearbooks , so a comp lele history should be easily available in the storehouse of yearbooks. Wrong. In the late 1920s when Homecoming started , it was nothing like it is now. Alumni came back and their was always a bi g game, but the other trappings , the queen , the banners and pa- rade , cilherdidn ' i exisi or Jidn 'tmcrit copy in ihe yearb ook. By the 1940s , Homecoming had grown . More events were recorded in ihe yearbook , and the Homecoming Oueen had a whole page to her self. In ihe 60s and 70s Homecoming took up pages of ihe Ob iter. Events todav ' s students are familia r with , such as Alumni-Student mixers , decorating halls and a dance existed pretty much hi their present form. Bloomsburg Uni versity 's Homecoming in the late 19S0s is a long way from what a small , teacher 's education oric.nied school did in the 20 s. If the Class of 1927. the first locelcbratc Homecoming could lia\e been in Bloomsburg tins weekend , ihey would have be ama/cd.

" Being the curious type , I decided to investi" gate. - . I thought the the logical thing to do would be to ask employees of the gas station that sits next to the si gn. Not a good idea. I asked Earl Ziegler about Bloomsburg being the only town in the state. As he pumped by gas, he said "That' s what they say, but I' ve seen a lot town 's around, may be it had something to do with population or maybe it was one bl the first around." I'm not sure what he meant. Then I asked a friend of mine, Steve Fetter-man ,who has lived in Bloomsburg all his life. He said "It's a town because of the amount of industry and the population. " That seemed logical to ! me, but aren 't there other places around that would fit into the "town" category? Next I went to the ColumbiaMontour tourist agency and I talked to the woman there. She recommended the Chamber or Commerce. The women in charge, Edna Lynn ,, recommended a book Columbia County Place Names , by the University 's very own Dr. Walter M. Brasch. I gleaned the following information. "In 1870 , state Senator Charles R. Buckalew successfully sponsored leg islation that allowed for the establishment of towns as distinct from villages and boroughs." The political system of the corporate body was to distinguish towns. That same year Bloomsburg applied for and became the first and only town in Pennsylvania. In 1920, Bloomsburg decided not to continue the political structure, but was allowed to keep its desi gnation as a town . \r J\ * The Women 's Chorak Emscmblc , the Concert Choir and the Husky Singers performed at yesterdays Pops Concert in Mitrani Hall. Plum,by OriiLowtr I m JH or ^ m a political discussions By Paul Cwtti L.A. Times-Washington I' ost Service To Santa Monica , Calif. , screenwriter Robin Love , the problem with Americans is that they ' re loo timid in expressing their political views. Love, who grew up in Australia , says that she can 't think of anything belter than to have a knockdown , drag-out battle in which guests are pounding the dinner fable , rattling the crystal and getting red in the face. That, she says , is the way they do it Down Under. But in America, she says, as soon as the discussion begins to get a little heated, people get embarrassed and change the subject. "Americans ought to learn to loosen upand enjoy the argument, then go out and have a beer together , " Love says. The reason Americans don ' t express political views more openl y — even "ow in tl^ hcicht of a presiden- C o m e e x p e r i e n c e t h e o p t i m u m in r e l a x a t i o n , .<>: J V ::tc! a n d t a n n i n g i n t h e p r i v a c y of y o u r o w n c a b a n a .

So when a person docs express an opinion , Fisher says, "They take an incredible risk. " Of course, Fisher says, there are people "who live for strife and onl y feel alive when they arc in competition , and if there isn 't any agitation going on , (they) create it. " Movie critic Michael Mcdvcd of the "Sneak Previews" TV show knows such people. They don 't air their political views to get new information , "They (do) it to vent aggression. " So how do you get along with someone whose political opinions are violentl y different from your own? It 's not always possible, Mcdved says. So unless you enjoy feeling "as if you arc ripping someone 's heart out ,"ilmaybcbcstto !elslccpingdogs Most people in my industry arc liberal not as a matter of political belief , but as religious belief , " he notes. "And questioning any of their orthodoxy is like telling a follower of (ihe Rev . Jerry) Fahvcll that you 're not so sure about Jesus. You can 't do it. " So in polite company, "I bile my tongue. " Besides, Mcdvcd says, "most political conversations are not so much about political issues as about feelings or a view or the world. " Therefore , he says , getting into an argument is "a waste of time. " For many veterans of dinner table political wars , the onl y way lo talk politics sensibly is to stick lo the issues and stay away from the underly ing ideology. People don t change their mindson basic ideology, anyway, and if you start attacking their fundamental beliefs, all that happens is they really get upset. Though he sometimes gets into major disagreements with colleagues, Judge Alex Kozinski, a Reagan appointee to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, says that he never deludes himself that he will change their basic philosophy. "Past college," he says, "your views are set." What he does instead, he says, is tell the other judge that "given your general philosophy, you shouldcome out with me on this one." The important thing, Kozinski says, is to build bridges and coalitions, not fight over differences. And to do that, "you take your allies everywhere you can get them." In any event, Kozinski says, there is no relation between a person's politics and his qualities as a friend. And of all his colleagues on the bench, he says, "the person I get along best with" is the one person he disagrees with most often. On Ihe other hand, there is a type of person to be avoided: the ideologue, a person so stubborn and inflexible that he cannot conduct a civil conversation about anything. 'Ideologues tend to have rigid minds in areas other than politics," Berkeley, Calif., writer Michael Rossman says. "It 's not a political flaw. It 's a character flaw. "It 's also destructive," says Ken Kelcy, former minister of information for the White Panther Party. "You can't get crazed and say, " You are my enemy forever because you don 't support Albania.' Life is too short for that stuff." Citizens of small world on top of universe after decorating win by Melissa S. Mcnap acc Feature s Editor It was a very small world at Bloomsburg University 's Child Care Center last week. Tiny "citizens " of the world won the Homecoming Office Decoration}; competition. "When you sit clown with a group of children , they can really brainstorm ," said Child Care director .Judy Colcman-Brinich. "This won 't be over , even when all this is torn down. " "All this " was five countries set up in the Child Care Center in the basement of Elwell Residence Hall. A one-room rustic colonial schoolhouse stood next to an elegant Japanese room. A festive Italian restaurant , pinata-draped Mexico and a Dutch tulip garden completed the international look. The elaborate planning kept the staff busy for nearly a month , but most of the construction and decorating was done by the children. Some of the younger ones painted the cardboard floor mats that went around the Japanese table and made Japanese flags. Older children used paper niaiche and sheets of construction paper to turn everyday objects into a Mexican adobe or an oldfashioned wood stove. The children decided to put their wooden blocks in the stove to simulate fire wood. One boy caused a last minute change of plans. "It was so funny," Coleman-Brinich said. "He said the pinatas they were making in Mexico looked more like salami. I A corner of JClwcll Hall was turned into a hit of Holland , complete with tuli ps that the children will nurture as they bloom. Photo by Chris Lower REM mixes best of old and new by David M. Marra Staff writer REM's newly released recording, oddly named Eponymous, could be considered a greatest hits compilation. It contains a few of their newer songs mixed nicely with some of their best older classics Three of the songs on this 12-song album arc redone in different , ncvcr-rccordcd versions. In addition , Eponymous includes one song which could onl y previously be obtained on the illegal bootleg market. Side one opens with a quicker, more upbeat rendition of Radio Free Europe (the song which started REM out on the road to fame in 1981). Next , the liste ner is treated to Gardening at Night , recorded with a uniquel y different vocal mix. Side one continues with the orig inal , un- changed classics ,Talk About the Passion , South Central Rain , (Don ' t Go Back to) Rock ville , and Can ' t Get Therefrom Here. Turning over to side two, it starts out with an old favorite called Driver S which is done in its usual form. This is followed by an older-sounding REM song which is titled Romance. It was written during the earl y days their musical career and it was never before made available to the public. Eponymous continues with the unchanged versions of Fall On Me and the popular hit song This One Goes Out lo the One I Love. Next, a musically-enhanced example of Finest Worksong is featured. In this song, a unique mix of drum and horn playing is added which combine to make this REM hit sound fairly beautiful. This album closes with the very popular Its the End of the World as Wc Know It (AndI Feel Children at the Child Care Center proudly pose inside the windmill they built which helped them win the office decorating contest. Photo by Chris Lower And they did. So they were painted brown and became salami in the restur ant. " Differen t groups took responsibility for each section , but every child worked on each section. On Friday, the day of the judging, they arrived in costume. But winning the decorating contest was onl y one of the rewards of their project. "When we saw that the theme was "It' s a Small World ," we thought it would be a great opportunity for learning, " the director said. The project has been the focus of activit y at the center for weeks.

COACH 'S CORNER BU's "Coach of the Year" earns Hall of Fame statu s by Kelly Cuthbert Sports Editor In college he stumbled into a game of love to which he was perfectly matched—tennis. The sport eventually led this coach to Bloomsburg, where he would earn "Coach of the Year" six limes, earn it once nationally in 1987 and most recently, be inducted into East Stroudsburg University's (ESU) Hall of Fame. Three weeks ago Burt Reese, BU men 's tennis coach, was inducted into the ESU Hall of Fame and annals of its sports history—something which came as a surprise io this ESU 1963 graduate. "! had no idea this was going on," he said and laughed. "When I found out , I said you 've got to be kidding me." But to others , his success is no surprise. Il s another credil to his successful career, which began to formulate in his childhood. The dream was fostered by his father, whom he lost at the age of six. "I wanted to follow in his footsteps," he said. "To me, he became bigger than life. I always wanted lo be acoach and he was the reason." Reese's father also attended ESU and became a physical education teacher and a coach. As a role model , it's easy to sec why the younger Reese became so inspired. "My father was successful at what he did , he looked like he was having fun doing it, and I saw thai other people looked up to him very much." Now, 25 years after graduation , people look up lo this 21-ycar BU tennis coach. A look at his career AEROBICS With Sue Adams at the Dance Studio Monday-Thursday , 4-5 With Cheryl Pope at the Dance Studio Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, 6-7 With Linda Everest at Centennial Gym Monday-Thursday, 7-8:15 With Kris Jani at Centennial Gym achievements spells it out. In high school he played footbal l and basketball. In his sophomore year in college he was introduced to a new love— tennis. Afraid he might not make the basketball team , he decided to try out for tennis—a sport he had never played before. He proceeded to compile an utterly impressive record . His team won the conference in his first yearplaying, and in his senior year he became co-captain and learned up with his doubles partner on the way to an undefeated season. Reese also never lost in the Pennsylvania Conference in his three years of participation. By the way, he made the basketball team and even wen t on to become a co-captain in his senior year. And he didn 't stop there. After graduation he held various high school basketball , football and tennis coaching positions before coming to BU.At BU, his team won the conference championship seven limes. Likewise, Reese has been selected as "Coach of the Year " six times, and as "Coach of the Year" nationally in 1987. An amazing record—considering thai when he got here Bloomsburg did not have any tennis courts! He had to lake his learn downtown to practice on courts at a small club until facilities were constructed atBU in 1972. The secrets lo his success? He likes his athletes lo be well rounded. Early on he suggests that kids "should practice and try a lot of different sports and sec which ones tliey like."Reese recruits this type of athlete and makes them better. 'The players get belter because they are self-motivated," he states. "If I can find that kind of player, that is not only a good tennis player but a good athlete able to compete in other sports, they turn out to be outstanding." He's quick to add that winning is important, but not the only principle of importance. "Being a good person both during and after athletic events, and all the little things breed success." Not only does Reese want his players to be the best they can be in anything they might do, but he takes a personal interest in them. "If they know you 're really interested in them as a person, academically, athletically, and socially, that helps."He adds.'Tf they play the best they can and still don't win, that's okay." Taking a personal interest in your players isn 't always easy. Seven years ago Reese had to stop playing competitively. "It's more difficultto coach when you can'tplay with ihem. It's easier toget their attention when they're looking across the net at you instead of the sidelines." Even though he's not playing competitively, he still does it for fun . "That's what coaching does—it keeps you young." Perhaps someday his young daughter and son, both budding athletes, will grow up to continue this successful legacy. Meanwhile, the dedication, respect and excellent coaching that have become a Reese tradition live on. BU soccer drops early lead in a 7-2 defeat on Saturday by Jamie Calkin Staff Writer The Bloomsburg men's soccer team was defeated 7-2 by firs t-lime opponen t Monmouth University on Saturday afternoon. Monmouth was another tough Division I team on Bloomsburg's schedule. Although Monmouth scored early in the first half , by halftime BU was in the lead, 2-1. In fact , the opposing coach said he was very worried about losing the game because the momentum and the score were in Bloomsburg 's favor. The first of the two BU goals was scored by midfielder Jerry Crick. Don Phomsouvanh knocked in the next goal of the game. The momentum changed,however, six minutes into the second half. A penalty kick was granted to Monmouth and they took advantage of it, tying up the game. Within three minutes of the first, another penalty kick was called against Bloomsburg. Monmouth scored again and BU simply lost the momentum it had built in the first half. "Our guys just folded after that second penalty shot," Coach Steve Goodwin commented. "We jut didn't do what we were doing before and what we had to do to win."

The marriage of Givens and Tyson began on Feb. 7 and up until she filed for divorce on Oct.' 7 the marriage had been nothing but controversy. For nine monlhs their marriage was a drea m for the press, making the newspapers constantly. The latest being that Mike Tyson filed a pctiton in New Jersey for divorce or annulment , claiming that he married Givens after she told him she was pregnant. Now I' m not trying to injec t my opinion here , but I just want to pose a few questions , present some facts, and let you make the call . Tyson a year ago spoke to a London tabloid saying that she had wanted to marry him for along time but there was no way he was going lo do it , saying lhal they fi ght constantly. What made him change his mind and go through with it jusi three months later? When Tyson crashed his car Sept. 4, at the hospital , Givens and her mother refuse lo lei any of Tyson 's friends as well as his manager and his trainers into Tyson 's room . Then the duo of Givens and Mom told the New York Dail y News that Tyson was suicidal and homocidal and had a chemical imbalance that ¦ made him violent. ' "¦ : Tyson was diagnosed as a manicdepressive by New York Psychciatrist Dr. Henry McCurli s and was given mcdccinc for treatment. But Dr. McCurlis would not acknowledged that Tyson was a patient of his. Another interesting thing is this trio of Givens , her mother , Ruth Roper and her sister who were labeled "die package" in Sports Illustrated. The trio was resposible for just aboul every accusation made against Tyson. Why did Given s, her mother and sister come as a "package" when ihcy were married? Funny, I never thought that Tyson was marry ing three people. Now I understand wh y most husbands cringe when their Mother-in-law 's come around. When Givcn 's went to Russia lo shoot her series Head of ihe Class, she went into great detail of how her husband chased her and her mother around the Hotel because he was losing control of his emotions. Get this, she says he chased ihcm until . 5 a.m. and stopped onl y because tlicy had to catch ;a plane." Don 't you think that the last thing on a person 's mind who lost control of his emotions would be that the he had to catch a plane? > ::; She said in her first interview on 20/20 that he shakes and pushes, he swings while in her divorce petition she says th roughout their marriage he has been violent. Then in interview , she said that she and her mom(shcalways talks in pairs) love him dearl y but he is such a beast they are afraid when he is around. Then in her second interview after she filed for divorce she cried to Walters on 20/20 and said nobody loves Michael as much as I do. Would you insult the person you love on national television? And why does she contradicl herself ¦whe'ri.she ' talks' aboul him? They were marriced illcgaly in Illinois , ihcn officially in New York , and she filed for divorce in California. Wh y in California? Was it because the law in Cal. provides a 50/50 split of communal properly? This love and hale marriage had many problems in it for bolh people. The bottom line is did she love hini or did she marry him for the money? You make the call. by Dave Sauter Staff Writer The Huskies of Bloomsburg University put on a total defensive show as the veteran unit recorded their second shutout in two weeks, beating the Mansfield Mounties , 9-0. Saturday 's game marked homecoming for Bloomsburg as 2,800 fans braved the cold winds and rain to witness the win that improved the Huskies mark to 7-1. Bloomsburg rode the kicking foot of freshman Mark Weiss lo the win as he booted three field goals lo account for the scoring. The first successful kick by Weiss came at the 5:48 mark in the first quarter , a short 21 yard chip shot for the 3-0 lead. A fumble recovery by Joshua Lee set up the score as he pounced on ihe ball at the BU 48. Three big plays helped the Huskies move to die Mansfield one yard line until ihe drive stalled. On second and 15, quarterback Paul Vencsky sprinted 25 yards on a sneak. Runningback Mike Medina had a bi g 11 yard run on th ird down , and Vencsky completed a 17 yard pass on third and long to Stcph Kern for a first and goa l situation. However, three plays were stopped dead by the Mansfield defense and the Huskies had to settle for three points. Bloomsburg picked up it 's second field goal early in the third quarter , again via a Mansfiled turnover. This lime ihe fumble recovery came by Chri s Gross at the MU 48. Vcncsky 's passing carried the Huskies once again as he completed three of four passes on the drive. One was a big 17 yard pass play to Jeff Sparks on second and long. The other big one was a shovel pass to Medina who ran for len yards to put BU in the kicking range of Weiss. The talented freshman kicker was good from 29 yard s out to make the score 6-0 at the 9:41 mark. Medina was the workhorse on Bloomsburg 's final scoring drive, one that resulted in Weiss' field goal of 31 yards at the 14:28 mark in the fourth quarter , rounding out the scoring at 90. The senior running back , who is replacing the injured Leonard Bluitt, accounted for 29 of die 35 yard scoring drive , including a big 16 yard run on a draw play. He also caught a nine yard pass from Vencsky. Despite the lack of scoring by Bloomsburg, there were a lot of highlights for the struggling offensive squad , one dial has been wracked by injuries ihe pasl few weeks. Quarterback Vencsky returned to IiU' s defense has not allowed an opponent a touchdown in the last 13 quarters. ihe lineup and played a fine game. Despite the terrible weather conditions ,hesiill managed to complete 1332 passes for 157 yards and he scrambled for another 63 on the ground. His favorite receiver was Paul Lonergan , who had seven receptions for SI yards.

Senior running back Mike Medina carried ihe ball 26 times for 63 yards, and also caught four passes for 42 yards. The Huskies ' big fullback , Eric Spcccc, also contributed a lot with five rushes for 29 yards. The bad weather conditions also did -not bother punter Jimmy Noyc, as he /kicked four yards above his season javerage. He had five punts for a 38.2 iyard average, including a long of 50 •jyards. defensive squad for ,; The jBloomsburg was simply outstanding, ;as the unit forced six Mansfield turnlovers and held the Mounlics to only 175 lolal yards. The Huskies especiall y look advantage of the fact that the Mounties' starting quarterback , Craig Jobes, did not play because of injuries. Right tackle, Joshua "Tex" Lee led Photo by Chris i^*rr Los Angeles: city of champs? by Jim Fisher f o r The Voice An interesting possibility has dawned upon me since the Los Angeles Dodgers have won baseball' s World Champoinship. Can Los Angeles become the new city of Champions? The Los Angeles Dodgers, led .by World Scries MVP Orel Hershiscr , beat the Oakland A's four games lo one. Hershiscr spun two threc-hiiicrs al the A's. He also showed the American League how to pitch Jose Canseco. Hershiscr had Canseco off Balance so many times the slugger looked like a fool. Fred Claire went out and signed Kirk Gibson , Mike Davis and Rick Dcmpscy last season. Who knows what Claire will do this season lo secure L. A. 's place at ihe top of ihe baseball world. The Los Angeles Lakers are the defending NBA champions and arc looking to defend their title this season. The likes of Magic Johnson , Byron Scotl, James Worlhy, A.C. Green , and Karccm Abdul-Jabbar make the Lakers look like the odds on favorite to win ihe title again. The Lakers drafted David Rivers in ihe first round of this years' draft. Rivers is an oustanding ballhandlcr from Notre Dame. Rivers allows ihe Lakers to use Michael Cooper more as a shooting guard ralhcr than a point guard . The Los Angeles Rams are having a great year under the leadership of John Robinson. Quarterback Jim Everett has matured and Greg Bell leads a good running attack. The NFL's leading rusher last season , Charles White , was suspended for 30 days following his failure of a drug test. His return will help the Rams. The Los Angeles Kings are the onl y question mark conserning greatness. The Kings acquired Wayn e Gretzky in the celebrated trade with Edmonton over the summer. The Kings have gotten off to a fast start due to the play of die "Great One". But others have sparked Ihe Kings as well as Gretzky. Luc Robitaille who is considered the league's best left wing and Dave Taylor are paired with Gretzky and blend wilh their tremendous talent. Marty McSorcly and Mike Krushclnysk i who have also brought their experience over from Edmonton arc off to a quick start. John Tonelli was signed as a free agent to bring his leadership. How far the Los Angeles teams go depends upon luck , the players, and the rest of their respective leagues. With a little luck, Los Angeles could be called the "City of Champs".

Left tackle Chris Gross also had a big day with four tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery. The coverage in the secondary was also outstanding as the much improved unit recorded four interceptions. Dan Shutthad two of the catches and returned them for 14 yards. Tom Heavy and Wade Pickett also had interceptions. Overall , the defense has not allowed a touchdown for 13 quarters, dating all the way back lo die third quarter of the West Chester game three weeks ago. Next weekend will be the big game for Bloomsburg as the Huskies will take on the Millersville Marauders at Millersville in a Saturday night game.
