Former union head speaks on role of labor in international competition by John Risdon News Editor Labor leader Douglas Frascr, former president of the United Auto Workers Union from 1977-1983 stated that the outlook for labor during the Bush administration looks to be more promising than under the Reagan administration. Frascr spoke on campus yesterday as the final speaker of the fall semester Provost's Lecture Series. He spoke on the role of labor as it relates to America 's competition in the International Marketplace. He stated, "AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland will have more opportunities to present labor's voice when Bush assumes his office. " In terms of the United States labor forces' ability to compete in the world marketplace , Frascr presented the results of a poll of top corporate officials and academicians which found that 73 percent believe during the next five years that the U.S. ability to compete with other nations will improve. I believe that optimism about the future flows from the fact that we are late in realizing the competitive positions we were in," he stated. "We were used to having things our own way for so long that we didn 't believe we were in a ferice competitive situation. Now that we have this awareness and sensitivity, I do believe we will improve the situation in the next five years." In pointing out that American auto manufactures had no problems in the late 70's as there was no market interest in small cars. The automakers dominated the market with auto production at peek capacity. An oil embargo resulting from the Iran hostage crisis sent car buyers flocking to Japanese economy cars and people realized the import cars exceeded US models in quality. In Erasers eyes, American car producers had sacrificed quality for quantity and arc only beginning to recapture the market they lost to buyers of Japanese imports. "The plant managers were seeing to the assembly lines running as fast as they could , running off 60 cars per hour 18 hours per day, six days a week," Frascr stated. 'They were answering to the boards of directors and lost track of priorities. They got sloppy and careless and quality was bad. The American people realized at that point of the superior quality of Japanese automobiles and we are paying for it until this day." Now that auto makers have an awareness and sensitivity of competition , and are conscious about quality, he maintained, the US will improve its market status. Frascr then linked the realighnment of the car industry in the world market with the improvement of the quality of die work place in terms of productivity and efficiency. Formerly, in large American companies, Fraser said the role of the worker was, "Just as another cog in the machine and that he was told what to do and when to do it and had absolutely no voice in the decision making process." General Motors and Ford now operate under programs called Quality of Work Life and employee involvement. Fraser believes that such programs democratize the work place and operateon assumptions he believed Issues aired at forum by Da wn M. D'Aries Editor-in-Chief "We made some mistakes. We're going to learn from those mistakes and we're not going to make them again." These were the words of President Harry Ausprich at the forum held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Multipurpose Room A of Kehr Union. Concerns about the mass communications curriculum , university judicial procedures, and international housing were raised at President Harry Ausprich's forum. Responding to questions about current mass communication concerns, Provost Betty Allamong said that eight classes in speech communication and two classes in mass communications were added to alleviate problems. She added that the University is currently searching for "part-time, qualified professors." A search and screen committee within the mass communications department is starting a search for professors. One student questioned why qualified , part-time professors were released from the department; specifically referring to Gary Essex, a former mass communications professor. Allamong responded that Essex did not hold a degree that qualified him as a professor. • Another student questioned the validity of contradictory statements from Allamong, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences John Baird, and Ausprich , concerning efforts to improve the mass communications department. "Dean Baird and I are working together," Allamong said. "We are working towards meeting demands within the mass communications department." Ausprich added,"This issue will be an issue that will continue to be addressed until we feel the problem will be resolved." Vice President of Institutional Advancement John Walker explained,"Some solutions offered this semester will not be good long-term solutions. Some of these short-term decisions would not be applicable in the long-term." in for many years. -^ "The Quality of Work Life (QWL) program recognizes what I've known for 40 years. That women and men in the work njace are intelligent , have a great deal of ingenuity, and are innovative. If given a chance to make a contribution they can contribute towards improving the work place," he stated. When such a program is properly implemented , workers appreciate the fact that their intelligence is being recognized, and this gives workers a feeling of appreciation along with accomplishment and respect. The company benefits through a better quality product , reduced absen teeism , fewer grievances in the grievance procedure. According to Fraser all of these factors together achieves, "Greater efficiency and greater productivity." Fraser believes in such programs as they democratize the work place. As an example he used the case of the General Motors plant in Freemont, California. Absenteeism was reduced from 21 percent to 2 percent after the QWL program went into place. The QWL program was developed when GM joined forces with Toyota to produce the Chevy Nova at the plant... Fraser stated,"The workers made the decisions and organized the work in a method easiest for them. They were treated as intelligent human beings, and the car produced there was rated by Consumer Reports as the best car built the United States. I know it sounds simplistic, but it's just the way that human relations were developed in that .t irne and how they were implemented." Fraser was elected to the board of directors of Chrysler in May of 1980 while serving as president of the UAW Union. He believes that this was another slep in the democratizing of the work place. He placed a special message in the proxy that stockholders received, suiting, "that he came to the Chrysler board and the president of the UAW and in that capacity I represent all of the blue collar workers that work for Chrysler in die US and Canada. In addition to that Chrysler, unlike Ford and GM , I represent thousands of engineers and white collar workers. It also stated , that I come there as their representative because I believe in a principle that workers should have a voice in their own future and their own destiny." Fraser retired from the presidency of the UAW and left the Chrysler board afterwards as he felt mat he no longer represented the workers. He added that he was die only member of the board who had worked in an auto plant. As a role of corporate leadership, he stated that leaders must introduce change to the work place. Frascr believes that labor leaders must strive to bring about change in a rational and humane manner so that workers do not have to bear a disproportionate amount of such change. Technology introduces the major amount of change in manufacturing and Frascr stated, "We in our whole history of the UAW never opposed or impeded or slowed down the introduction of new technology. Willi all this wealth of new technology we recognized the fundamental fact of life that new technology increases I Douglas Fraser speaking on the rote of U.S. tabor in International Market competition last night in Carver Hall. Photo by Jennif er Moon producUvity. This increases the size of the economic pie and it is easier to negotiate a larger slice of the pie when the pie is larger. You must introduce new technology as quick as you can for competitive reasons." Fraser maintained that technology does cause employee and job displacement but in the long run will raise productivity and thus offer new jobs. The UAW entered into agreements that all displaced employees will be retrained instead of replace by technology. He said that these are the types of programs that are being offered in US manufacturing with out laying people off. The turn-over through retirements is so great that we can attract a work force because of the new technology. "People ask me, 'when are we going to return to the days fo the 50's, 60's and 70' s when the US economy dominated the world economy. My answer is never," Fraser stated. "We are never going back to when the U.S. economy dominated the world economy. "We have to look at the broader picture of what is happening with our trade policy. If we don't, jobs in America will erode," Hestated. Fraser agrees to free trade policy but believes that the U.S. must demand in addition to free trade, a fair trade policy that will be tougher in daeling with the Japanese. "I hope that the new administration will back a fair trade policy, "he stated.

They have i had to fig ht for business classes . They argued with the administration. These fvobioms are to be expected. The "oilier party " involved is an older generation. But the mass comunicaiions majors are now facing a new problem. Actually , its not a new problem at all. The problem is student apath y , and it seems to be as common as air or w ater on the Bloomsburg University campus. The student crew of approximately twenty have been w orking all semester long on a I project. That project is known as I the Fall SS season of Studio A 1 Dance Party. 1 The cre w show ed up. Tney have I been there all along. 1 They have already put in endless 1hours . They have constructed sets. I The y have edited videos. They have I ski ppe d classes, meals, and much I needed sleep and study time to put 1 together two. hour-long video 1 dance shows. I I know all about the hours that I this crew has put in because my I roommate woke me two nights ago when he wandered in at two in the morning from another marathon session. It seems that these students have managed to keep their grades up and get their other work done while putting in four to ten hour production meetings. The show was ready to run last ni ght. The reason that it didn 't was due / :,;, to the fact that seven dancers showed up. Immediatel y this group of resourceful students grabbed some phones and began calling people. They called dorms. They called fraternities. They called soa^rities. Ana w hen push came to shove they called the whole thing off . I find it hard to believe that after this group of students has put in so many hours of har d work and dedication , that there is not thirty to fort y peop le on this campus who cannot spare three ". The standard answer to the plea for dancers was papers or exams. I suppose these people thought that it was fairl y safe to assume that the Studio A students had no classes or exams. I' ve seen many disappointing things this semester. But nothing as disappointing as the severe lack of peer support that occurred last night on McCormick's Studio A set. Once again a group of Bloomsburg students have been victimized by apathy. Only this time it was their peers who are responsible. This dilemma is left open ended , though. It seems that the Studio A students are either very' optimistic or simply gluttons for punishment. They have decided to have another go at it this coming Wednesday. They are asking interested dancers to show up on the Studio A set by 6:30 p.m. Two shows will be taped. The first will be a normal show. The second will be a Studio A Dance Beach Party. The fact remains that it is up to die students of Bloomsburg University to either make the show a success or to leave Studio A high and dry once again. \tXJ LOOK LAKE ^ \ AN INFORN\ED \ CmZEN.WHSr DO VfcU TrllNKOF BuStfe CHOICE OF cwn^i SUNUNU? j -^^ To the Editor: I am writing in concern to the article printed in last Thursday's issue of The Voice , which was a review of the Saturday night performance of the Husky Singer combined concert with the Georgian Court Singers. For the moment, I'd like to address The Voice staff. I , as do many others , feel that the staff is doing a wonderfu l job, and in turn , keeps me a faithful reader. Often the articles do not catch my attention , but I still continue to read them entirely. While being impressed issue by issue , I was deeply grateful for the length y article on the Husk y Singers concert , except for a few misprints. I am in the dark as to the behind the scenes trouble that may have occurred while printing the article. But if such trouble arose, then a retraction could have-been printed in Monday 's issue — and it was not. I' m refe rring to the mistakes of givin g credit where credit wasn 't due. For example , it was to my understanding upon seeing the concert Saturday night that Ken Kershner only sung in the octet and did not go solo. There were other discrepancies but the one that especially grabbed my attention and upset me to the point of doubting the staffs reporting on facts and making no assumptions , was the statement that Gregory Lapp sung a solo in the program , where in fact it was Geoffry Lapp who sang a duet with Steve McLaughlin. To some, it may not seem like such a big deal , but I' m looking out from Geoff' s point of view .

I don 't know much about the stars of these ads, except that in Real Life the women are both actresses. But the test comes in handy anyway.

In Real Life, I have sat next to a mother be associated with , reminded of and mistaken for, his identical twin brother Tim , but upon just entering Bloomsburg University and joining Concert Choir and Husky Singers , he must also be constandy reminded and associated with his older brother Greg. I feel it 's about time we let Geoff come out from behind the shadows fo his brothers and be recognized as himself , which , in fact, he is trying to do, and not as one of the other Lapp brothers! Pleaselet us not make Geoff a victim of following in someone else 's footsteps. Sincerely, and still a faithfu l reader , the founder and president of The Geoffry Lapp Fan Club ...and an overworked editor off ers apology To the Geoffry Lapp Fan Club: The Voice staff is deeply appreciative of your dedication to reading this publication. We, just like all students on campus, are, however, human. This does have its limitations. The article about the Husky Singers Georgian Court College Singers concert was written by Staff Writer Melissa Harris, who did indeed give Geoff Lapp credit for his duet with Steve McLaughlin. As Features Editor , my job is to check all articles before they are printed for misspellings, grammatical errors, and so forth. This is not to say we don 't make a few mistakes of our own or catch every one. The mistake about Geoff is mine and mine alone. While reading Melissa 's written draft of the review , I saw Geoff Lapp and made the dreadfu l mistake of SERiB'W ^ mD RE^fer^E: J came up short. . . " But the most crucial pan of these confessions was embodied in three little words: "in real life ." This presented in its most pristine form my favorite test on the images about women that have floated up and around for ail these decades. I call it the Real Life Test. I was first inspired to apply the Real Life Test long after June ana Margaret were in reruns. It was hark in the '70s when Phyllis Schafly was extolling housewifery, as the only virtuous role for women. But what was she Ln Real Life? A lawyer and political activist Then there was the woman who published a particularly judgmental bookabout how she had quit work — and other s should follow — to stay home with her children. In Real Life , the woman had become a writer. Lt the early '80s, there were all those superwoman stories about top executives who led seamless lives balancing home and office , without ever wearing pantyhose with run s stopped by nail polish. In Real Life, they had housekeepersand gobs of money. Now, I find myself using the Real KgL <*R . Frustrated fan club president addresses editorial mistakes... OUR TOP STORY"... ^^^ LEADERS S«r PCVW \ -^P TO^r 7t> NEGOTIATE AN \ END TO THE rAlttl - In the premiere of the TV series "Baby Boom." there was a wonderful moment when the single working mother of the 19SQs met the '50s mothers of her dreams. Literally. The star of the show . J.C., fell in to bed after another hard day. failing to achieve a perfect score as mother. worker and woman. From deep in her subconscious she conjured up none other than June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson. But this time , the flawless mother of the Beaver and the perfect wife for father who knows best let her in on a little secret. Margaret; "J.C., you know we were just actresses playin g parts." June: "We reported to work and they tied aprons on us." Margaret: "In real life we were working mothers putting in a 12-hour day." In this refreshing encounter , June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson were played by the actresses from the original show, Barbara Biliingsiey and Jane Wyatt . It was reassuring to discover in a non-fiction moment in this fictional meetingthat ever.Barbara Billingsley felt inferior to Jure Geaven "I was forever comparing myself to the characterI was playing and I arrays I THW HE \ STOUU* EOJSKT i^ WA , -x, WfeRvcm of a waiting child when our plane was number 23 for takeoff out of O'Hare, and watched her hands begin to sweat, I also know enough about Real Life to envision the baby formula dripping onto the Macintosh keyboard. I certainly know about trying to concentrate on work with a newborn in the next room. There is a somewhat more honest tilt to the '80s. Shows like "Baby Boom " are about stress and the welldressed single mother trying to hold it all together. (Although in a Real Life role reversal, the star Kate Jackson doesn't have children). But there is still a notion runnning like a theme song through these decades that somebody (else) is doing IT perfectly. In the Fifties, June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson were perfect mothers because they had the right temperament. In the '80s, the women in these ads lead perfect lives because they have the right technology. In real Real Life, there is no perfection.So the best, most enduring line of all came from the Fifties mom , June Cleaver, to her Eighties counterpart: "Aren't you being a little hard on yourself?" assuming she meant Gregory Lapp, since I do know Greg and was not aware until your letter arrived that he had any brothers or that one of them attends this institution and is in the Husky Singers. A retraction was not printed in Monday's issue because I did not know a mistake had been made until you let us know , which I am thankfu l for. The other discrepancies you describe were also errors that I humbl y hang my head for also. My apologies — especially to Geoff, and to Greg. I messed up and I am sorry. I know how frustratingit is to not get credit for your work — believe me , I know how it feels. I am human and I make mistakes. And I demonstrated that fact once again. Oops. The newest member of the Geoffry Lapp Fan Club , Bridget Sultivan Features Editor Tenure denial may be just ified To the Editor: This is in response to the recent articles dealing with professors and their rig ht to tenure. I was quite disturbed by the fact that several students were outraged by the denial of tenure to Dr. Obutclcwicz. Perhaps instead of arguing that Dr. Obutclcwicz deserved tenure, and that policy dealing with tenure need be examined , why doesn 't someone explain the requirements necessary to obtain this tenure. Could it possibly have anything to do with a professor 's ability to instruct? His overall effectiveness? Whether or not students benefited from the course? Or, not to mention whether it was worth the money paid? Last year I had the misfortune of being a student in a course taught by Dr. Obutclcwicz, and can honestly say it was a waste of my time. His manner of teaching was not one which included enthusiasm, nor class participation. His overall effectiveness , one would argue, must have been good for students to perform so well. But considering he reviewed problems in class, then changed the numbers for the exam, how much of a challenge could this really have been? Did students really learn anything? I would also like to respond to Mike Hoover 's article in the November 21 issue of 77K Voice . In my opinion , Dr. Obutclcwicz was not a "quality professor who was railroaded out of a job. " In the case of Dr. Reifsteck , however , I am not well-informed to make a comment. If we, as students are truly concerned with "making Bloomsburg University the best that it can be," it is certainly not through granting tenure to professors like Dr. Obutelewicz. I am glad Dr. Ausprich had the good judgement to deny this man tenure , and hope that he will continue to use the established criteria in determining whether or not professors deserv e tenure.

N YC site of summit Mass comm department by John J. Goldman and Don Shannon l~A. Times-Washington Post Service Because of the need for stringent security, the isolated Coast Guard base of Governors Island in New York Harbor, a five-minute ferry ride from Wall Street, has been chosen as the site for talks next week between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev , President Reagan and President-elect George Bush. Gorbachev, who is expected to arrive at Kennedy Airport with his wife, Raisa, Tuesday afternoon , will address the United Nations General Assembly the following day and is planning to hold a news conference at the world organization's headquarters on the East Side of Manhattan , Soviet planners said Tuesday. The Gorbachevs also are hoping for, in the words of a key Soviet aid , "maximum contact" with ordinary New Yorkers, including visits to at least one museum and a department store. The Russian leader and his party are also planning to perhaps view New York's dramatic skyline, like millions of tourists, from atop the 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center. A reception for a cross-section of New York's leaders is projected at the Soviet U.N. mission. The guest list has been drawn up, but invitations have not yet been sent out. Despite Gorbachev 's arrival in the midst of New York's busy fall social season, Soviet protocol experts were confident that many New Yorkers would cancel previous commitments to mix with the first Soviet leader to visit New York in almost three two decades. With little fanfare, advance parties of Soviet and American diplomated securityagents have been hard at work mapping the four-day itinerary. Gorbachev and his party will be staying at the white brick Russian mission in Manhattan. In their preparations for the luncheon meeting, perhaps to be held at the Coast Guard commandant s house on thr 178-acre military base, Russian ^ diplomats are not only including the touch y topic of Afghanistan for discussion but also a "comprehensive" range of U.S. Soviet issues. Although Moscow has pledged a withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan, the schedule has slowed amid mutual recriminations as Washington has charged that Soviet aircraft and Scud missiles are being used against dissident forces. Russian diplomats have demanded a cessation of U.S. arms shipments to Afghan guerrillas. The 34-member Russian advance party has quietly considered a variety of sites for the Gorbachevs to visit, including Saks and Bloomingdale's, the big Manhattan department stores. Under consideration for the museum visit are the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum and* the Whitney Museum on upper Madison Avenue near the Soviet mission on East 67th Street. Russian planners also are weighing having Gorbachev travel to upper Manhattan where the Russians maintain a large diplomatic residence compound on a hilltop near the Hudson River. They also have considered a visit to the New York Stock Exchange, the seat of American capitalism , but security agents are frankly worried about ihe narrowness of ancient streets in tV.Wall Street area. There was the possibility thai Gorbachev would meet with a delegation of leading bankers and financiers and perhaps open a Soviet commercial exhibition. The visit by Gorbachev, who will leave for Havana late on the morning of Dec. 9, is the first by a Soviet ruler since Nikita Khrushchev's stormy visit to Manhattan in 1960. Khrushchev was greeted by massive protests by angry refugee groups. They appeared unexpectedly at impromptu news conferences on the balcony of the Russian mission, then in a Park BU approves hiring of new faculty for spring semester *89 by John Risdon News Editor Provost Betty Allamong released information Monday that the university has approved the hiring of new faculty forspring semester 1989. A total of seven full- time employees were hired for the college of arts and sciences; four in the college of business; and two and a half for the college of professional studies. Allamong stated,"We were already searching to fill positions that had been searched for and failed for two or more years in the number of 28.5 faculty positions." She continued,"This number breaks down into 17.5 permanent tenure tract positions and 11 temporary replacement positions. Some of the positions recently hired were replacements authorized for faculty retirements." "We are pleased with the new positions," she added.

Department Chair Dr. Tamrat Mereba said last night the department would accept applications until the end of the first week of spring semester next year. This would allow students to provide up-to-date transcripts, including •results of this fall's courses, with their applications. The actual number of applications accepted would depend on the number of majors graduating this semester and other vacancies created by transfers or withdrawals from the major. These would not be known exacdy until the beginning of next semester, he said. Interested students can pick up application forms from the departmental office in McCormick 1102. Students who seek a Certificate in Journalism must submit formal applications no later than the end of the first week of spring semester next year. The certificates are available only to students who are not majoring in mass communications.

Governors Island , which has the atmosphere of a quiet small town in the midst of New York City, has been the site of sensitive negotiations before. Recently, secret talks among South Africa , Angola, Cuba and the United States over the future of Southwest Africa took place on the island, with a spectacular view of the Statue of Liberty . During the Statue of Liberty 's centennial celebration over the July 4 weekend in 1986, the island was the site of major festivities, including a meeting between President Reagan and French President Francois Mitterand. Russian security agents expressed fears about the safety of helicopter flights in Manhattan 's congested air space and favored boat travel for the Gorbachevs from the United Nations. Governors Island has a rich history of its own. It is the oldest military installation in continuous service in the United States. Its fortifications changed hands three times during the Revolutionary War. In the Civil War it was a prison camp for Confederate soldiers. It is the nation 's largestCoast Guard base and a family oriented Coast Guard company town. Both Russian and American planners have scouted the island for the meeting and to insure maximum security.

The Fo rgotten Door focuses on Jon, who is from another world where everyone tells the truth and possesses special powers. On Earth , he senses hate and, unfortunately, is chased by the Pitts , who are backcountry farmers, and helped by the Beans , nice people who believe in him. Jon tries to remember who he is, where he is from , and to find a way back home. The Theatre Department sent out letters to several schools to inform them about the play being presented here at BU and encouraged them to come out and participate. Unfortunatel y, there was a problem of budgeting for classes to go to the ^ show . As it turned out. only two schools were able 10 finance the trip to Carver Hall at BU. Karen Anselm . director of theatre , then sent study guides to two interested schools , Diehi Elementary and Greenwood Friends , to aid teachers ," educating students about theatre in general. The teachers were also invited to see the play beforehand to acquire a better understandins of the show in order to tell students what to expect. Upon arrival , the students met Karen Anselm who briefl y explained theatre and its background. She informed them about different aspects of the production , such as sound , lighting, costumes , staging, and rehearsing. She also carefully pointed out the difference between a character and an actor — that they are two completely different people. In the play, Jon has the ability to hear people's thoug hts ,'so,'during the question and answer session held after each matinee performance , many children wanted to know if Jon , played by Doug Rapson , could still read minds. Karen , again , explained that Doug was only acting out a character. She clarified this by pointing out that Jon can read minds and Doug can not. Thomas Bean , portrayed by David Waterman , is a Vietnam veteran who takes Jon in to care for him , to protect him from the Pitts, and to help Jon find a way home. During the play, Jon leads Thomas Bean to find the cave he entered this world from , the "forgotten door. " Suddenl y. Jon senses a deer nearby. He tells Thomas that the deer is "on the ridge , evethere " and stares out at the balcony a: the invisible deer. Once Thomas says he sees it , '.90, every child in the audience turned around to see the deer at the same time. The kids believed the deer was really there , to the extent that they looked for it. The children were in an another world of make-believe. When the kids turned to look for the deer , the movement made the audience look like a human wave surging onto the beach. Karen Anselm . who directed the show , never expected the kids to look for the deer since there was no deer on the balcony. It was imaginary. But there was'more to come. Gilby Pitts , played by Wesley Young, and Emma Pius , performed by Jennifer Tober , are backward country farmers who call Jon "a wild boy" and cannot see Jon for what he really is. The Sheriff , played by David O'Brien , questions Jon profusel y because the Pitts accused Jon of sneaking around the Pitts ' fields and stealing some equipment. He also is intri gued by the strange-looking clothes and boots Jon is wearing. During the chase scene, the Pitts and the Sheriff are sneaking quietl y in the dark woods trying to find Jon. Just as Gilby Jets out a big sneeze , chaos erupts everywhere as Gilb y and Emma crash into each other and fal l down , yelling helplessly, as the Sheriff franticall y flicks his flashli ght all around the woods to find out what the commotion is all about. Not too far behind , Jon , the Beans , and Rascal , the Beans ' dog (Todd Miller)., scurry along to the cave unnoticed. Meanwhile , the Sheriff stumbles upon the Pitts , asking Gilby and Emma what they are doing. Gilby has his " hands ' on Emma 's neck , strangling her thinking it 'was Jon and exclaiming, "I got him , I got him!" The kids erupted loudl y with laug hter because of the excitement , energy, and visual excitement on the stage. The children had a wonderfu l time. So did the actors. Jennifer Tober , who played Emma Pitts and Miss Josic , responded to the kids ' reactions. "[Their reactions] gave mc more drive to perform better and to make them laugh more." David O'Brien , who played the Sheriff and the Snake, gave a similiar response. "It energized me. It 's all in the action for the kids to respond." TENDER LOVE PET SHOP On the other hand , Wesley Young i,Gilby Pitts) had a different perspective , "I never expect anything from the audience. It was an ideal situation because I must ' ve done something right. "I have a philosoph y concerning the audience 's reaction which is '..'. I don 't care if there are onl y three people out front , or if the people in the audience laug h when they shouldn 't , or don 't when they should. One person is certain to know and understand. And I act for him ,' as quoted from Norman of Ronald Harwood 's The Dresser. " Doug Rapson (Jon) gave his overall view . "I feel the actors gave a much better performance to get that kind of reaction from the audience. " After the show , Anselm gave the kids the opportunity to meet the people behind-the-scenes and to ask questions. The kids were so enthusiasti c that many had their hands in the air eagerly to ask questions before Karen had the chance to introduce the cast. One child said ," Gilby, you 're just like my father!" flattering Young. Many had questions pertaining to how the projections worked.

She goes to class. She takes tests. She even lives off-campus with three other girls in one of the college apartment complexes. But there is something different about the 21 year-old college student that sets her apart from her peers at Bloomsburg. She . has earned the title of Miss Deaf Northeast Pennsylvania this year. Watson has been deaf for most of her life. At age five she began attending the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. It was while she was in high school that she first heard of the Miss Deaf Pennsylvania Pageant. It was at that year 's Pennsylvania Society Advancement for the Deaf Confrence where Melissa met Miss Deaf Pennsylvania. The young lady who held the position at the time told Watson that she would be the next Miss Deaf Pennsylvania. Watson was amused by the idea at the time. She didn't think that she was the type to prance around like some sort of stuckup prom queen. However , now Watson has a different idea of what Miss Deaf Pennsylvania is all about. The pageant is like many other pageahtirof a similar nature. There is a total of nine geographical locations that send young women to this pageant. There is a four-minute talent segment, a sportswear category, interviews, and speeches. Watson performed a "deaf poem" called "Silence " in American Sign Language for her talent segment. Watson said that there are also difficulties with preparing for the pageant Just like a true college student, Watson said that money is a problem. The sportswear , gowns, interview outfit, and talent costume for the Miss Deaf Pennsylvania competition in August, 1989, to be held in Lancaster , Pa., all cost money. Donations and sponsors will help with the bills. With great power comes great responsibility. As Miss Deaf Northeast Pennsylvania, Watson would like to increase deaf awareness. She feels that, overall , things are better. But she feels that there is always room for improvement. Bloomsburg is no exception. Watson feels that the university needs a stronger support system, especially with notetakers and interpreters. The social work major says, "If I win the Miss Deal' Pennsylvania title, I will have to travel a lot and give speeches. The main topic that I would like to advocate is giving Iho deal' youngsters, who are mainstreamed in a regular sc hool , a chance to meet with deaf adults and be exposed to deaf culture. They deserve a chance to feel proud of themselves and their deaf heritage. They need deaf adults to look up to as role models. "I will try my best to be a good role model for those young deaf children." /0s , or lor those just more interested in his older material , he dug out such classics as Every Picture Tells a Story and Mandolin Wind. However, the most-awaited song of the evening was his 1972 classic , Magg ie May , which brought the already screaming crowd to its feet. Stewart 's eight-man band was primaril y made up of American musicians for the first time in his touring career. I The onl y Englishman in the band , the drummer , was the standout as he played an impressive solo, complete with a flashing array of strobe lights during Do Ya Think I ' m Sexy? Stewart 's remarkable showmanship was demonstrated all night with his non-stop jumping and dancing, as well as a unique feature of punting soccer balls deep into the crowd. Perhaps tne highlight of the evening, thoug h , was his demonstration of compassion when i he pulled a young boy from the audience to help him with his latest single, Forever Young. After pleasing the more-thanenthusiastic crowd for more than two and a half hours , Stewart brought the show to a stunning and brillian t conclusion with a tri ple encore , lasting nearl y half an hour . He got the crowd up and dancing in the aisles with his various covers of '50s rock' n'roll , such as Twisting the i Night Away. He finall y brought the marathon performance to an end with a song from his early days with The Faces' Stay With Me , where he graciously allowed a dozen or so girls to dance along with him on stage.

Stewart 's incredible performance consisted of songs which not only spanned the periods of his illustrious career, but managed to coincide with the various age groups in the audience as well. For the average high school teen of the '80s, he played his more recent hits like Infatuation , Hot Legs arid Bdry Jane.

Bloomsbur g briefly explained how the projections work and the magic behind it. The technical crew used two slide projectors to project pictures of forests , the Beans ' home , the courthouse , and images of Jon "falling " throug h the "forgotten door." A scrim was also used to show trees with branches and to make the cave appear and disappear. The response was tremendous during the question and answer session. Anselm expressed , "It was exhilarating to get that kind of partici pation and response fro m the kids!" Overall , this has been an educational process for the children 's growth. Together , the theatre department and the schools can teach effective ly what television and movies can 't , by involving participation. Theatre leaches with live experience and active partici pation. Movies and television shows can live without an audience. Theatre without an audience is not theatre — it doesn't exist. Karen Anselm intends to involve more schools to partici pate next fall and to bring back appreciation and art for theatre to children. >• : : FALL AND WINTER HORSE BACK RIDING PROGRAM HIDDEN HOLLOW FARM RT 254 SOUTH OF BENTON O'ust 20 minutes from campus) WE OFFER... *A Lighted Indoor Arena *Flexible Hours, Tues.-S;it. *Lessons on Our Horses (or bring your own) *A SPECIAL STUDENT DISCOUNT PAULA HOSKING , ACCREDITED INSTRUCT OR 25 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIEN CE FOR ALL AGES ASK ABOUT OUR "LADIES HOUR SERIES" CALL 925-2229 FOR AN APPOINTMENT OR 389-3241 FOR MORE INFORMATION HIDDEN HOLLOW FARM J Choir concert planned for this weekend BTE holiday show updates classic comedy style The annual Joy of Christmas concert by the Bloomsburg University Concert Choir , under the direction of William Decker, will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, and at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 4, in Carver HaU Auditorium.

Ensemble member Rand Whipple authored Fools Rush In , a contemporary adaptation of Carlo Gozzi' s The King Stag "story. Written in the late 18th century, The King Stag was Gozzi' s attempt to revive the improvisation al slapstick style of the Italian commedia dcU 'arte, then slipping fro m favor . For Fools Rush In Whi pple had adapted the story to the contemporary equivalent of the commedia clowns: the American comic. "One problem with bringing commedia to todays stage," explains Whi pple , is that the characters were comic types of the time and their humor was very topical. My choice was to go with the character types that were more American in feel, drawing upon the American vaudeville and earl y film and television style of comedy and patter. Commedia , with its flips , jokes and explosions, I found translates easily to the feel of American vaudeville." Although we may not have comic misers called Pantalone or wily ser- vants called Harlequin anymore, we know the comedy of their characters through the personas of comedians such as Jack Benny and Charlie Chaplin. " Set backstage in " an abandoned theatre, Fools Rush In features a cast overflowing with jugglers, ventriloquists, magicians, punsters and come-dians. Props, costumes and set pieces are imag inativel y employed, along with some fast paced comic patter, knockabout physical comedy, and surprising special effects , to tell the story of a king 's search for true love. Eventually, with the help of several magic spells, the king finds his bride, and romance flourishes amid the tomfoolery. Fools Rush In is a funny enchanting holiday fantasy. A founding member of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble, playwright Rand Whipple has worked with the ensemble as actor, director and Associate Artistic for the past nine years. In 1984 Whipple wrote his latest mine show, Rand Whipple Live and in Costume , which had toured throughout the United States and into international theatre festivals in Scotland , Mexico and New York . A writer of spoken as well as silent theatre pieces, Whipple has written for the Amish Comedy Troupe and has collaborated one a musical version of Beauty and the Beast with composer Rob Kruse which was first produced by the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble. Ensemble member Leigh Strimbeck directs Fools Rush In. Strimbeck has taught creative dramatics and movement throughout the United States and Europe. Her previous Bloomsburg directing credits include last seasons The Nest and the premier of Berwick, America! The cast of Fools Rush In features ensemble members Marti n Shell , James Goode, Dave Moreland and A. Elizabeth Dowd, as well as guest artist James Streling, Ron Ensel , Margret O'Neill , David Klionsky, Karen Sheridan and Bruce C. Pedretti. F eatured community actors are Linda Badami, Janie Schick, eight-year-old Kristin Vanderpool and 10 year-old Jeffery Zeager. The fanciful settings for Fools Rush In were designed by Linda A. Sechrist. Lighting is by Richard Latta, and the costumes are by Malgolrzata Komorowska. ing anything seriously anyway. Only fools like Kneale, Donlon and me tried to. When Rivera made his expected inane points about his popularity justifying his tactics , Kneale offered the obvious counterargument that such a notion held open the prospect of somebody blowing his brains off on the air for the sake of numbers. Rivera lauehed the noint off. I sat there wanting to tell him that he didn't really have viewers but rubberneckers, that cars will stop every day to see a four-car pile-up, but that doesn 't mean that they endorse hi ghspeed collisions. But Rivera went to a commercial. He had his own interests to pursue, of course. Such as bringing on former CBS News Presiden t Van Gordon Sauter, recently discredited for all but selling out that organization to every low-brow instinct. Sauter now produces another "reality " show in which people have their real medical problems exposed to a national TV audience. Sauter did what he was there to do: He said that at CBS News they thought about ratings 24 hours a day. See, Geraldo said, even at such an august institution it's all ratings. So why is everyone calling poor Geraldo crass? Did Rivera ever address the question of what this kind of sleaze-mongering is doing to the standards of information on television? Come on. He did, however, manage to interview the latest crucial figure in his life: the surgeon who fixed his nose. "So what was the condition of my nose?'' Rivera, the former hard-nosed journalist , asked. A full description of the amazing work that restored the crusader to his full nasal powers was then detailed , with Geraldo getting a close-up of the finished product on camera. I left the stage disgusted. Disgusted at Rivera for tossing away a once semi-respectable career as a TV journalist to become the equivalent of a medicine show huckster, disgusted at mvself for becomine a nart of an hour long grandstand promotion for the man with the golden nose. I had thought the issue was serious, and I had serious things to say about it. Nobody with anything serious to say should even consider going on Geraldo. He's huge now. In fac t, he's becoming a horror movie: The Blob. He absorbs the hostile energy thrown at him and uses it to grow even bigger. There's almost no point in decrying his tactics.The only hope for people of taste lookine for resnonsihle Journalism is to ignore him , look elsewhere, and wait for the blob to explode. 9 Rivera leads in horror movie j ournalism Ii by Bill Carter LA. Times -Washington Post Service Near the end of the taping of Geraldo in New York , one of the other guests on the panel leaned over and whispered in my ear: "Do you feel used?" "That doesn 't even begin to describe it," I said. The experience of being "interviewed" by Geraldo Rivera for an episode of his now infamous talk show was the living definition of the phrase "worst fears realized." Far from being a challenging discussion on the questionable trend of "tabloid TV," as the show was billed by the producer who contacted me, it turned into yet another shameless exhibition of self-promotion from a guy now reveling in his status as the rich and celebrated pied piper of television's descent into the sinkhole. The show is titled: "Has TV Gone Too Far?" The title, like everything else about Rivera, is bogus. Forget all those other shows crowding their way into video-tabloid competitions, With the unremittingly self-aggrandizing Geraldo at the helm , the title should have been: "Have I Gone Too Far?" The only ones Geraldo was interested in mentioning were his own most recent orchestrations of "telesensationalism": the lurid study of Satanism and the massively publicized brawl show on racist "skinheads," which resulted in the biggest break of Rivera 's career: right in the nose. In the waiting room before the telecast, the guests got an inkling of what the set-up was going to be. Two of us were to be the anti-Geraldo forces ; Photo by ila rlin Wanner three others would stand behind his cause, though one, Brian Donlon of USA Today, found the notion of his defending Rivera 's style of TV ludicrous. Everything was constructed for the purpose of maximum confrontation. As the show began , we "ami"' forces , Wall Street Journal reporter Dennis Kneale and I, were displayed on one side of the stage like two prisoners in the dock. Kneale was appalled at being billed as a critic. He never includes criticism in his pieces. He is a reporter. In his introduction , Rivera, seizing the opportunity to display the Newsweek cover of his bloody face , referred to me as "the bane'" of his professional existence. I drew a smattering of boos from the Geraldo devotees in the audience. The tone was set. This was not going to be a serious discussion of the state of informational television. It was going to be another episode of "confrontainment ," with Kneale and I established as the villains. I turned to him and whispered: "We're the Christians in this den, you know. " After the opening, most of the guests were sent back to the waiting room while Geraldo ran the taped highlights of his celebrated punch-up with the skinheads. Then he introduced Roy Innis of CORE, who had initiated the melee by putting a stranglehold on one of the invited racists. Geraldo described Innis in heroic terms, as a man who had dared to take on these creeps. That was accompanied by wild applause. Rivera then worked in the notion that he himself had "shed his blood " in this righteous cause, while disput- | ing with an activist rabbi the charge that giving a forum to skinheads was irresponsible. In the waiting room , Kneale and I considered the merits of walking of the show. Wc were now sure wc were just pawns in yet another Rivera selfpromotional excess; wc knew we had been idiots to think that there was shred of responsible reporter left in Rivera , to think that he had conduct a fair-minded discussion. But we also knew that if we protested by leaving, he'd surely open the next segment with a denunciation of the "cowards " hiding behind bylines who couldn 't face up to the challenge of defending the criticism on the air. We went on.. Rivera read from my column ripping his Satan show as another of his "excavations into the fetid garbage of human existence." Then he openl y beckoned for the crowd' s hearty boos, as did his stage manager. He wound up giving me perhaps two minutes total of comment during the whole show. Partly that 's because he had to squeeze in so many other people , including his defenders. He was most pleased to have his cause taken up by Marvin Kitman of Newsday, who was willing to validate Geraldo 's contributions to TV , right after Geraldo promoted Marvin 's book on the air. Kitman lauded Geraldo 's show for taking on serious topics, unlike old talk shows, such as Merv Griffin. I tried to ask Marv how far from Merv he wanted to go, to voodoo or the latest in lingerie? (That is next Monday 's topic.) But Geraldo never went back to me. Kitman clearly was incapable of tak- YS Y HOLIDA !!

It is the fourth of the Celebrity Artist Series performances scheduled for the university this academic year. Winner of the 1981 Tony Award for the Best Musical, 42nd Street had been acclaimed by critics nationally and abroad. The musical is based on the 1933 Warners Brothers film staring Ruby Keller, Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers. According to co-star Mary Lou Barber, the production is on of the most difficult musicals on tour. " There are numerous painted drops and set pieces, and it's also and exhausting show for the per- formers because of all the big tap dance numbers," she said. The tour requires a 45 foot tractor trailer truck to transport the necessary scenic effects. Jonathan Beck Reed, a star in last season's national tour of The Music Man, plays the producer trying to make a comeback with the shaky show that turns into a hit. The current tour that began September 23 will about around the country until Dec. 15. Following the holiday break, it's an open ended tour, and because it is so popular, it will probably tour most of 1989, according to Reed. Tickets are $15 and are available from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Kehr Union Information desk. Tickets will also be on sale the night of the performance. .<—«¦»—¦¦¦¦¦ in WW— 1>I JU^, — PORCI^"""^ ATTENTION BSN CLASS OF 1989. The Air Force has a special program for 1989 BSNs.

' " But you have to worry a little when the $15 million treasure you have imported to pump life into your new hockey team is rumored to be unhappy. Gretzky has no apparent conflict with any teamsiates. On the contrary, he is enormously well-liked, as unpretentious as any superstar in sports. So wh y has he forgotten how to smile the last couple of weeks? This is the Magic Johnson of hockey, remember, a man who has always enjoyed the game and the life. McNal l insists the Gretzky he knows is not a troubled man. "In a major way, Wayne is happy,"McNall said. In a major way, so is McNall. He is the ultimate hockey fan , still excited about owning his own team and his own Gretzky. He doesn 't even mind a little controversy. He remembers all those seasons when the sports fans of Los Angeles not only didn 't care whether or not the King coach would keep his job, but didn 't even know whether or not the Kings had a coach. Now the Kings are providing sports thrills for the city, as well as intrigue and mystery. Who knows what will happen next. Gretzky can 't stay unhappy all season; something has to happen. Although if Gretzky is suffering, his play isn 't. He had two goals and two assists againstNew Jersey Tuesday. Maybe something will happen , maybe nothing will happen. Who knows? Nobody knows who knows.

Computer Clinic Grapplers tally at ESU after tough loss to Iowa State by Mary Ellen Spisak Staff Writer On Friday, Nov . 25th , the Bloomsburg grapplers hosted the Cyclones of Iowa State. This match was the seventh meeting between the 14th ranked Huskies and the fourth ranked Cyclones with the Cyclones winning all six previous meetings.

Alston scored eight points, all in the first half, to help the Lorenzi returns as Huskies destroy New York Tech 89-39 by Lincoln Weiss Sports Editor The Bloomsburg University Women 's basketball team scored 15 unanswered points early in the first half to take an early 21-4 lead and never looked back in an 89 -39 victory over visiting New York Tech. The victory is the 15th consecutive Mens ' basketb all to compete in tough Pennsylvania Conference East division by Lincoln Weiss Sports Editor Basketball buffs get ready it's time for college basketball again . Both the Men and Women for Bloomsburg will be contending for the Pennsylvania Suite Athletic Conference title and both beg in their quest at the beginning of next semester. Divisional action beg ins for most teams midway through January and here are comments on each team in the division along with projected finish remembering that the top three teams from each division make the conference play-offs for the men and the top two teams from each division make the play-offs for the women. Today we will look at the Mens' teams and Monday at the Womens' teams. Projected Finish PSAC East 1. Millersville 2. Bloomsburg 3. Kutztown 4. Chcyney 5. West Chester 6. Mansfield 7. East Stroudsburg Team Overviews MILLERSVILLE- The Marauders slipped last season in the conference play-offs and lost to Cheyney 101-96, but that is more than enough reason to fear this Division II power. Gone are four starters and six lettermen, but six lettermen are returning and Millersville got one very important transfer. Inside coach John Kochan will depend on Maryland (Yes Maryland) transfer Phil Nevin. Also up front will be Tommy Gaines who was injured for most of the season last year but put up good numbers when he played. Eric Yankowy, a transfer from East Stroudsburg will also be a key for the Marauders up front. In the backcourt will be senior Bob Bradfield who can fill the bucket from the three point area. At point guard will probably be one of two freshman Lance Gelnett or Matt Harris. BACK ON TOP BLOOMSBURG- Returning are some key players that m issed last year. Bill Connelly, the team scorer, and Mike Simpkins, the team 's sixth man are back and that means bad news for the Huskies opponent. Connelly will score from anywhere on the court. Bloomsburg will also need strong performances and scoring from Alex Nelcha and Dave Carpenter. In the backcourt will be Craig Phillips who did not play like a freshman last year and will not play like a sophomore this year. The Huskies need him to be a catalyst. Along with Phillips will be any number of people. Keys to the Huskies will be the play of Keven Reynolds, Bob Coppolino, and Simpkins at the wing position. RETURN TO PLAYOFFS FOR THE HUSKIES KUTZTOWN- The Golden Bears reached the NCAA Divison II basketball tournament for the first time in their history and were PSAC East division champs last year. Kutztown will bank on Marty Eggleston to carry them to the top. Eggleston led the team in scoring and rebounds. The seven footer will dominate most teams in the conference. Also returning will be Butch Hills. Hills is a leader for his team and will be the glue to make this team stick. Kutztown has a problem though , coach Rick Binder had hopes of bring his new players in slow but with the loss of three starters to various reasons his new players must be ready now. If this team has a flaw, it will be inexperience, something that might even drop them to third in the division but not enough to knock them out of the play-offs. THEY WILL NOT REPEAT, BUT PLAYOFF BOUND CHEYNEY- The Wolves may have surprised a few with their play-off appearance last year and may have surprised even more with their first round win over Millersville in the PSAC Championships. Cheyney will try to prove that last year was no fluke, but that could be difficult without their star scorer, Clarence Green, who graduated last year. Coach Charlie Songster will rely on East Carolina transfer Albert Clark. Clark has a fine shot and also likes to crash the boards. Also in the backcourt will be sophomore Darryl Oliver, who averaged 5.9 p.p.g. as a freshman. Leading the Cheyney attack will be Mike Mills. Up front will be Kevin Smith, the Wolves' leading rebounder along with upperclassmen Lamar Fair, Erik Robinson, Charles Jones, and Keith Wall. ANOTHER SUPRISE IS POSSIBLE WEST CHESTER- An improving program that is still a year away from serious contention. West Chester lost three starters from a 13-13 team that had some impressive victories over Bloomsburg, Kutztown , and Phila. Textile. However the Rams are a building team with a lot of youlh in the slariing positions. Sophomore forward Derrick Ward should continue to improve and create more scoring and steals for West Chester. Coatcsville product Ricky Hicks will be the point guard and can cause problems on defense even though he is only 5-7. The Rams will probably start at least two freshman and could take their lumps in division play, but never count this team as an sure win. A PESKY TEAM THAT NEED ANOTHER YEAR MANSFIELD- The Mountaineers can do nothing but improve on their 210 division record of a year ago. Mansfield returns all of their players and will win more games this year. Leaders for the club will be Keith Fisher, who was on the PSAC allconference second team, Will Liggins, the team assist leader, and Joe Bergmann at forward. Garret Broderick will need to rebound strongly in order for Mansfield to win and the Mountaineers' offensive attack should be strong. DEFENSE A PROBLEM , BUT GETTING STRONGER AS A TEAM EAST STROUDSBURG- Everyone in the PSAC East had better watch themselves as they play the Warriors, because if a team goes to sleep while playing East Stroudsburg, they may get beat. Photo by Jenna Moon Huskies tO Victory . The Warriors return their star performer Jonathan Roberts.Roberts as a sophomore tied an East Stroudsburg scoring record for a single season and was an honorable mention All-American. Roberts at times can carry this club. His supporting cast will be Darrell Gray and Joe Darling, both returning starters along with Mike DelGrosso and freshman Rick Morgan. Outside shooting and defense are keys for this team. STILL A PRETENDER BUT AT LEAST IMPROVING regular season win for the Huskies dating back to last season when they won their last 11 before falling to Lock Haven in the PSAC playoffs. Bloomsburg was led by the return of their top scorer Theresa Lorenzi . Lorenzi , who missed the last two games because of an ankle injury, scored nine first half points, six coming in the first seven minutes of the game. Both teams came out rather sluggish as each missed early shots and exchanged many defensive rebounds. New York Tech then began to turn the ball over to a good Bloomsburg defense which led to the 15 point tear for the Huskies. Coach Joe Bressi then rotated his players with half of the openingperiod remaining and had good contributions from freshmen Tamika Howard and Kathy Maguire. Nina Alston also helped out the cause with eight first half points as B loomsburg went to :he lockerroom at halftime with a 42-18 lead. The second half started the same way the first half started with both teams missing baskets and turning the ball over. Fero, Terezzi make Ail-American team Junior Daneen Fero and senior Alicia Terezzi have been named to the Collegiate Field Hockey Coaches Association (CFHCA)/ Penn-Monto AU-American Team for their performances during the recently completed season. Fero earned first team homor and was the unit 's nominee for the prestigious Broderick Award given to the nation's top female athlete. Terizzi was selected to the second team. The duo helped the Huskies post a 22-2-1 record and win their secondconsecutive Pennsylvania Conference championship. The conference title was the team's fourth in the past six seasons. In addition , the club appeared in the national tournament for the eight-straight year and finished as the NCAA Division III runnerup. Fero scored nine goals and assisted on six other scores, and Terezzi was close behind with eight goals and five assists. The pair helped the Bloomsburg offense hold a huge 980-234 edge in shots on goal over the opposition and led the Huskies to an 84-10 advantage in goals in the 25 games. Fero has 13 goals and 10 assists in her three seasons with the squad, and Terezzi has accounted for 17 goals and 12 assists. Lorenzi again came alive and began to convert some of Tech's turnovers into points. Lorenzi scored 12 of Bloomsburg's first 17 points in the early part of the second half. Barb Hall had the other five points and left the contest with eight points. Bloomsburg enjoyed a 59-29 lead with 10:38 left in the second half. Bressi then made full scale changes in the lineup midway through the half, but that did not change the way play went as the Huskies scored another 13 unanswered points. Strong performances were given by Maguire and Bernadette Needham. Maguire scored five of the 13 unanswered points and Needham had seven points in the game. Lorenzi led all scorers with 21 points while Myle Cleveland led New York Tech with 14 points in the losing effort. The victory brings the Huskies to 40 on the season as New York Tech falls to 1-2. The next game for Bloomsburg will be this upcoming Friday and Saturday at the Slickly Tournament at LeMoyne. The Huskies return home this Wednesday for a rematch with the team that beat Bloomsburg in the first round of the PSAC Championship, the Lock Haven Bald Eagles. The contest will start at 5:30 as part of a doubleheader with the men playing at 7:30.
