BU saves on disposal fees by Amy Br ayf o r d and Joel Lilje for The Voice Bloomsburg University 's tipping fees for garbage disposal have remained stable during the last year. Bloomsburg ' s maintenance department says university savings have been the result of increased recycling programs on campus. Recycling now saves BU from $10,000 to $12,000 a year. In 1983 the University saved approximately $6,000. In 1983, recycling at BU concentrated only on computer paper and cardboard boxes. This semester the program expanded to include aluminum cans and glass. Thc growth in recycled goods handled has doubled the University 's savings in garbage removal within a few years. Voluntary Recycling Incorporated, a non-profit organization based in Bloomsburg, collects and recycles the University 's products.The university pays the company $4,000 a year to remove recyclable products from the campus. Recycling is not only the job of the University 's maintenance department and Voluntary Recycling Incorporated but relies heavily on student cooperation and participation. This semester thc program added special bins for separation of aluminum cans. Most of these bins were placed alongside drink vending machines which are located across campus. All students have been asked to separate all major types of trash into proper bins to increase the effectiveness of the recycling program.

On-campus students can obtain a copy of the instructions*and agreement card in any residence hall while offcampus students must go to the Residence Life office. The cards must be stamped paid , from the Business Office, and hand delivered to the Residence Life Office no later than February 1, 1989. The cards will only be accepted in groups of four and applicants of each group must be of the same sex. The selection of groups will be determined through Social Security numbers picked on February 2,1989.

In a subsequent telephone conversation Oct. 10, Nir said he was not to "go public," citing the damage publicity might do to his business activities. Washington Post editors concluded that Nir 's death Wednesday removeded reasons for the agreement to withold attribution to Nir of the information he provided in June. In a telephone interview on Friday, Nir's widow, Judy , said she knew that her husband was talking to Woodward, but she had "no idea" why he was doing it At the time of his death he was not prepared to tell his story publicly, she said. Nir was a central figure in many aspects of the Iran-Contra affair. He was cited by North as the originator (in November 1985) of the funds generating profits from arms sales to Iran to fund other covert projects; the idea North used later to divert support to the Nicaraguan rebels. In January 1986, North and Nir discussed using $2.5 million from the first direct sale of U.S. arms to Iran for their joint covert operations, according to an entry in North's notebook made public by the congressional Iran-Contra committees. When details of the Iran-Contra operation were about to be disclosed in November 1986, Nir refused North's request that he take the blame for tlie diversion of profits to the Contras, according to North 's notebooks. Nir said in the June interview: "I like Ollic. He was under great pressure. To mix the Iran operation and &e Contras was stupid, stupid , stupid." Nir representedIsrael in negoliations with U.S. and Iranian representatives that led to three shipments of U.S. arms to Iran in 1986. He accompanied former national security adviser Robert C. (Bud) McFarlane and North on their secrci mission to Tehran in May 1986. Nir said in the June interview that McFarlane failed to improvise and take advantage of the meetings, that "full }' 50 percent of (this trip) is not known," and that he had extensive notes on this and other aspects of the secret initiative. Nir and North planned and carried out at least two secret joint operations outside normal intelligence channels . These were "only part" of their covert activities. Nir said , "There is much more. "With Iranian middleman Manucher Ghorbanifar, Nir arranged for Iranian help in freeing thc Rev. Lawrence C. Jenco , an American hostage held by Lebanese extremists. Jenco was released in July 1986 based on Ghorbanifar's promise that thc United States would subsequently ship arms to Tehran. Nir called Ghorbanifar "a tool, no matter whose tool," adding that he was told by an important figure in the affair that "imperfect tools must be used for imperfect ends ," On July 29, 1986, within days after Jenco was released, Nir briefed Vice President Bush and his chief of staff , Craig L. Fuller, in Israel on the need to respond to the release by shipping arms to Iran.

Col. Oliver L. North supervised in 1985-86. American and Israeli sources confirmed that there was an IsraeliAmerican agreement, referred to as "terms of reference" or "accords" by some knowledgable sources. Its existence has never been disclosed to Congress, according to American sources familiar with it. A White House spokesman said Saturday the Reagan administration would offer no comment on the agreement or any operations that may have been conducted under it Yossi Gal, spokesman for the Israeli embassy, said, "I won't go into this agreement Israel and the United States have lots of agreements.We have never maintained that Nir was operating on his own or as a renegade. Everything he did was being done by the government of Israel." Nir disclosed the existence of an agreement during interviews in London last June. He maintained that secret U.S.-Israeli covert operations were authorized by President Reagan and then-Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres under the accords. Few details of these operations have been disclosed. Nir said the Israeli government has detailed records of all of them. One operation conducted under the agreement was the organizing of and force of Lebanese Druze in Beiru t in May, 1986, at a time when the White House was considering the use of force to try to free American hostages. Appreciation course offered fry Lynne Ernst Contributing Editor A one credit experimental course, Experiencing the Arts , which was unlisted in the scheduling newspaper is scheduled for the spring semester of 1989. The course was not listed in the scheduling newspaper as it received approval on the last day of scheduling period. The course, to be taught by Dr. Terry Oxley, will meet four times a semester on Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. Pre-requisites for the course include having had or being currendy enrolled in Music 35-101, Theatre 26-102 or Art 30-101. "The objective of the course," says Oxley, "is to encourage attendance at Throughout the course, each student will be required to attend eight cultural performances, two from the Celebrity Artist's Series, two from the music department, two art shows and two theatre events, one of which must be performed on Bloomsburg's campus. After attending productions, each student will be responsible for writing a two page evaluation. Oxley noted that, "Class lectures will be geared towards the aesthetic appreciation of the arts and give students the information and tools necessary to go to cultural events and objecti vely decide if they like the. performance." If a student attends the shows and writes five evaluations which are the grade of an A," said Oxley. He added that, "Unfortunately, because the course is in the experimental stage, it can not count towards Group A-The Humanities." However, if the course is successful, Oxley hopes that Experiencing the Arts will be a course that can be repeated several times. Experiencing the Arts is a result of the Task Forceon Cultural Affairs, cochaired by Dr. Baird tfnd Dr. Mulka. Currently, 300 seats hav e been allocated for the class. Oxley remarked, "I am interested in as many people taking the class as possible in order to get feedback from students to see if they get anything out of it" ¦ . : ^'!7C£-7S17.Tr:!;^,3S^£Tn=rrAT^-S-' .^JTJ,T2:ri!I2 Disclosure of lhc agreement adds yet another layer to the mysteries surrounding thc Iran-Contra affair. As described by Nir , the agreement led to a series of covert actions that had common tactical elements. The nowfamous secret transactions that produced unauthorized aid for the Nicaraguan Contras from the profits of aims sales to Iran may have fit a pattern established in those other secret undertakings. And , like thc arms-forhostages dealings with Iran, these other secret operations were apparentl y hidden from Congress. References were made to the NorthNir "off-the-books" operations during the congressional Iran-Contra investigation , but Nir 's assertion that they were carried out under an agreement was the firsl indication that he and North , who has since retired from the military , claimed lop-level governmental authorization for their activities. Nir was interviewed by reporter Bob Woodward for 13 hours last June in London. He said he expected to tell his story publicly later , and said he was debating how best to do it: in a television interview, for a newspaper or some other way. Woodward and Nir agreed that the information Nir provided was not to be attributed to him without further discussions. Throughout the summer Nir did not return numerous phone calls in Israel. The Post prepared a story on the secret U.S.-Israeli agreement, but editors decided not to print thc story in hopes Soviets express hope toward Bush by Robert C Toth LA Times-Washington Post Service WASHINGTON-Preparing the ground for Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev 's visit this week, upbeat Sc-viet officials said Sunday that Moscow could work with Presidentelect George Bush and expressed hope that some of Bush' s doubts about Gorbachev could be eased during Wednesday 's lunch. Two former U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations, Jeane J. Kirkpatrck and Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D-N.Y., said that the Kremlin could improve prospects for peace in the Middle East if it sought to repeal the decade-old U.N. resolution lhat equates Zionism and racism. The Soviets first raised the concept and pushed tbe resolution, Moynihan said. "It is impossible for the United Nations to play a positive role ine Mideast as long as the Soviets and their friends are pushing" to rob Israel of its legitimacy through the resolution Kirkpatrick said. The two Americans appeared with Shishlin on the NBC program "Meet the Press." Shishlin predicted the Gorbachev "will have in his pocket very integral initiatives" to present during his speech to the United Nations and luncheon with President Reagan and Vice President Bush Wednesday. He did not elaborate, however. Asked for the Soviet view of the president-elect, Shishlin said, "Bush is the heir of Reagan." There were "no brilliant ideas about Soviet-American relations" in Bush' s election speeches, he added, but afterwards, his comments about U.S.-Soviet relations were positive. "I think we can work with Mr. Bush as productively as with Mr. Reagan," Shishlin said. Gennady I. Gerasimov, spokesman for the Soviet Foreign Ministry, called him a "good pragmatic leader." Asked on the ABC program "This Week with David Brinkley" if he expected Bush to be "tougher than Reagan ," Gerasimov said that "continuity is the name of the game" and that the three men would meet at lunch "to pass the torch." Gerasimov appeared to accept the fact that Bush was less enthusiastic about Gorbachev during the campaign than Reagan. "Everybody is entitled to his own doubts," he said, "but I hope that these doubts will be cleared when Presidentelect Bush knows our leader better and our politics." Secretary of State George P. Shultz, who also appeared on the ABC program , again defended his controversial decision last week to deny a visa to Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization , who wanted to come to the United States to address the U.N. General Assembly. "As chairman and responsible party' of the PLO, said Shultz , Arafat knew about, condoned and supported the (terrorist) activities of Fatah" which is both part of thc PLO arid Arafat 's personal organization.

It is through large scale efforts, such tis these, that AI hopes to raise world consciousness to Uie plight of political prisoners. Unfortunatel y, it is still not enough. In ils 1988 Annual Report, AI pointed out lhat many goverments still continue to deny their citizens fundamental rights. "In at least half the countries of thc world , people are locked away for speaking their minds, often at trials that are no more than a sham. In at least a third of the world' s nations , men , women , and children are tortured. In scores of countries , governments achieve their goals by kidnapping and murdering their own citizens. " AI' s only method to stop lhc abuse of human rights is to increase the public attention to thc specific cases. Quite often , lhc avalanche of mail which reaches ministries , embassies , and newspapers persuade officials that keeping a prisoner is not worth it. Since ils founding in 1961, AI has adopted more than 30,000 individual prisoners of conscience cases, of which 27,352 have been closed either by release or dealh. These statistics have led United Nations Secretary-General Javier Program Board complains about inadequate coverage Academically.Annoyed .

It is rare lhat the Kehr Union is kept open until 4 a.m. The All-Nilcr comes only once a year and an event such as this takes a lot of time, effort , and funding. Although this year's All-Niter was a huge success, it is not our purpose to boast about our accomplishments. However, we wish to point out that when something unusual and exciting is brought to Bloomsburg University, tbe readers of the school newspaper have a right to know details.

To Uie Editor: This is in response to Concerned Student 's letter in Uie last issue of The Voice , who misquoted me. I did not say Uiat Dr. Obutelcwicz was a quality professor. I have never had Dr. Obutelcwicz as an instructor. I would not know. You are also missing the point. Let's just say, hypothctically, that Dr. Obutelcwicz was a lousy instructor. Let's also say, hypothcdcally, that Uiere was another professor , a quality professor , up for tenure. The various tenure committees come up with a split decision regarding these two. Under the current system, it is possible for Dr. Obutelcwicz to be allowed to file an appeal and have his case reviewed while the'other professor would be denied that right That 's the point. This can and does happen. Thanks for letting me clarify that for you. Mike Hoover deserves. Program Board Executive Council Tenure dispute is f urther exam ined Affairs have drastic consequences Eight years ago, Edward McNamara had what is described as a "casual affair." But in the way of lhe world, his brief romance had more than casual consequences. Unknown to him , the 20-year-old single woman became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. On Aug.l , 1981, over dinner in a San Diego restaurant , she told him about the baby and how she had placed it for adoption. She asked him to sign away his parental rights. That vivid scene between man and woman, the news announced over the neutral turf of a tablecloth — her revelation , his shock — was a vivid tableau of the essential difference between a biological mother and father. Only a father could be "stunned ," in his words, by the birth of a child. Despite all the birthing classes and self-conscious descriptions of "our" pregnancy, not even married men and women are truly equal partners in pregnancy. Unwed and disconnected fathers haven 't nearly the same investment as unwed mothers in a newborn child. But does that mean there are no rights that come with a paternal set genes? Does a mother have the unilateral power lo put a child up for adoption? Can thc state view unwed mothers and unwed fathers wholl y differently? These arc some of lhc questions Uiat came out of this casual affair. On Nov . 28, Ed McNamara brought them lo the Supreme Court. McNamara never signed away his parental rights. He had them ruled away. Months after thc baby g irl — now a seven-year-old named Katie — was placed in a foster home, the court allowed Robert and P.J. Moses to adopi the baby over McNamara 's protests. The girl had bonded with her new parents, thc court ruled . Adoption was in her best interest. McNamara claims that the law violated his rights, indeed all fathers' rights. An unwed mother could only lose her parental rights if she was unfit But an unwed father could lose them "in the best interests oftlie child." He was denied equal protection of thc law. This is not an isolated or freakish case. One out of every four children in the country is born out of wedlock. Many of these children have a tenuous relationship with their fathers . There arc more women trying to get men into lhc lives of children than trying to keep them out. There are more women than men trying to prove paternity in court Indeed , that scene at the restaurant might have gone differentl y if the biological mother had decided to keep the child. The result of McNamara 's casual affair might have been 18 years of child-support payments. But can a state hold a man responsible for supporting his children one day and cut off his right to those children the next? Is a father who is liable for responsibilities to be denied rights? At lhc same lime, this or any woman who carries a child alone for nine months may assume that she can decide thc fate of her newborn alone. Only six percent of babies born to unwed mothers are put up for adoption. Those mothers act in what they believe is "the best interests of the child. " How would she assess those interests, make that decision , if the child could be claimed by a strangerfather? The Supreme Court has ruled that biology isn't destiny for unwed fathers Perez de Cuellar to call AI the world's most effective human ri ghts organization. Because our world leaders found it necessary to develop the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Amnesty International has been able to effectively implement its use, isn't it our turn to celebrate the anniversary of the declaration and join tfie members of AI? Human rights offer the right place to stand up and fight. AI offers (hc means... to someone who has been jailed or tortured because of his religion , political beliefs, or race, a letter can spell freedom. exactly the way it is for unwed mothers. If an unwed father wants to claim his paternity, he has to act like a father. But neither the mother nor the California law ever gave Ed McNamara the chance to act like a father. This is a time of flux and confusion about families and the rules that regulate them. Family structures are more diverse; family law more complex. As a society we are trying to strengthen emotional ties while our institutions weaken. We are especially concerned about fathers and children. Ed McNamara knows something about changing families and about maintaining relationships. A divorced father of two, an unwed father of one, he doesn't ask for custody of Katie but rather the right to visit, the right to be known and named as her father. For all of its good intentions , the state of California was wrong to sever this or anu father's rights before he can make a case for his responsibility. It may be rare, but a brief affair produced a tenacious father. There is nothing casual about Ed McNamara 's fatherhood anymore.

"The transition from mat "nothing' back there, to this, it's going to take some time. It's going to take some time to learn to walk alone." Over objections from state parole officials, U.S. District Judge Then Henderson ordered Spain 's release March 10, ruling that he served enough time for the 1966 murder. Two years earlier, the judge had overturned Spain's conviction in connection with the murders of two prison guards in the San Quentin uprising and ordered a new trial. Watched, helped and guided by close friends he met during the tumulte prison rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s and the San Quentin trial, he has lectured to groups as far away as Oberlin College in Ohio. Spain is progressing in his job at a San Francisco company that makes showcases, and until this week was co-teaching a class at Stanford with Kathy Kornblith , a private investigator who has worked on his case since 1971. Entitled "Society Behind Bars," Uie class dealt with issues of crime and punishmen t, focusing on prisons. Speakers included crime victims rights activists whose children have been murdered, the warden at Folsom by Dan Morain IA Times-Washington Post Service It's a long way from California 's Vacaville prison to Stanford University. But there was Johnny Spain , the convicted murderer, ex-Black Panthed survivor of the bloodiest riot in California prison history, enrapturing a class of Stanford undergrads with tales of life behind bars. Eight months after his release from the California Medical Facility to Vacaville; Spain is trying to prove his friends , lawyer, and supportive politicians and prison officials right: this worst of the worst inmates rehabilitated himself. Spain, 39, is somber when he tells students about the murder he commtted at age 17 in Los Angeles and can be "painfully honest" about it, a student noted. He will not talk in detail about his role in the San Quentin bloodshed , saving that for a new trial ahead of him. This is not to say life on the outside has been easy. I do understand why people get out and don't make it. It's tough for me, and I have had all these people helping," said Spain, 39, who spent 21 years at Soledad, San Quentin and available for non-mass communications students prison, a prison guard , a probation officer , and a former San Quentin death row inmate. Students toured San Quentin. "I'd think some peop le would be concerned mat their sons and daughters were being taught by a guy like Johnny Spain," said Folsom Warden Robert G. Borg, who told the class of his success in reducing violence at his prison. "I happen to think prisons are doing a good job," he said, noting in his visit, he tried to counter what he suspected was a skewed view that students had receiv.ed during the course about the department's efforts. Borg , a 29-year veteran of . the system, went to the class not knowing that Spain was one of the teachers. He's not sure he would have gone if he had known.. "I'd like to think I probably would have shown up, in spite of my personal feelings," he said, referring to the San Quentin riot , a chapter that pains officials whose fellow officers were murdered and maimed. "A few years ago, I damned sure wouldn 't (have shown up). " I think it 's important that you get a different view. The fact that I was invited is a plus," He added. " I think I had some impact."

HUSKY NOTES Nir offers insight on Contra affair (Continued f r o mpa ge 1) of the Iran-Contra affair, assigning a former senior Israeli official who had been inspector general of the Israeli armed forces , reserve Gen. Raphael Vardi, to review the Israeli documents. Two limited chronologies, one financial and Uie other historical, were given to the United States. By sticking to dates and the most general descriptions of planned agenda items for meetings, the Israelis conveyed very little of substance to the United States, Nir said. Nir said Israel has assembled extensive records not turned over to the state department, based in part on his detailed notes and papers. They provided point-by-point documentation of all contacts , discussions and undertakings with U.S. officials , including North, Nir said. Nir said he also provided full written reports to his superiors and he gave oral briefings to Shimon Peres, the Israeli prime minister who hired him as counterterronst adviser, and later to Peres' successor, Yitzak Shamir. Nir said he was "on a short leash." At the time North and Nir joined forces in 1985, the former military correspondent for Israeli television was the newly appointed counterterrorist adviser to Peres. North was a member of the staff of the National Security Council and was responsible for coordinating counterterrorist activities for the White House. Informed sources said the secret agreement that Nir said authorized the Nir--North undertakings was signed by hi gh-level officials for both governments. Nir said he drafted the agreement and that it was formalized in an exchange of letters between Reagan and Peres. Other sources involved in counterterrorist operations for the two countries said the agreement was signed at a lower level. Whatever form it took , the agreement is an important missing piece ie history of secret White House operations in President Reagan 's second term. U.S. government sources said the agreement originally was negotiatede State Department and the Israeli foreign ministry to permit the exchange of sensitive information between U.S. and Israeli government counterterrorism experts. These sources said Nir and North in their activities clearly went beyond this intent, at least as understood by senior State Department officials. The agreement is formally spelled out in its "terms of reference," which officials said included vague language and statements that are subject to differen t interpretations. One senior U.S. source said the American-Israeli agreement appeared e connected to earlier authorizations or "findings" for covert intelligence operations signed by Reagan , which authorized aggressive anti-terrorist actions. The Post reported in October that Reagan signed findings in 1984 and 1985 authorizing antiterrorist operations arid stipulating that any actions taken under those orders in "good faith" would be "deemed" legal: language several officials interpreted as a "license to kill." Under longstanding executive orders, it is illegal for American operatives to engage in any activity that could lead to assassinations, but those intelligence findings signed by Reagan seemed to at least some officials to create a legal loophole to circumvent that prohibition. One of several versions of the "license-to-kill" finding was signed by Reagan on Aug. 11, 1985, at about the time that Nir said he was drafting the secret American-Israeli agreement on counterterrorism. .

( i iA \^7 ^~*^ Concert Choir brings J oy of Christmas with song by Lynne Ernst Contributing Editor While there arc still three weeks left until Christmas, the Bloomsburg University Concert Choir , along with a guest appearance by thc BU Husky Singers, brought thc joy of Christmas to approximatel y 300 people last Friday evening at 8 p.m. in Carver Hall. The concert , appropriatel y titled The Joy of Christinas, was conducted by Dr. William Decker. Thc concert began with a scries of foreign carols which included , Psallite . Noe , noe, noc , Noel! ,Sors de ton lit , and Weihachte.n. Dr. Decker then introduced a pair of songs, New Prince , New Pomp and God Pest You Merry Gentlemen . which were arranged by ^Dcckcr ' s friend Syndcy Hodkinson. "These songs ," said Decker , "arc quite unusual and ry thmicall y, thc pieces are very complicated to perform." In New Prince, New Pomp Heather Bodine and Donna Zimmerman played thc triangles and Nancy Howarth played the glockensp iel. God Rest, You Merry Gentlemen feature d Amy Glut play ing thc free standing chimes. Thc songs , as Decker had noted , were unique. However , they provided thc audience with an interesting variation from traditioiut! Christmas carols. The program continued witli the song Three German Caro l Settings , whieh featured Janet Fisher on the cello, Mary Ellen Kolatis on thc clarinet , and Barb Lee on the Hute . Following this , the choir their sang Love Came Down at Christmas , Lei Our Gladness Have No End and 0 Little Town of Bethlehem. Following thc Concert Choir were the Husky Singers , who began their portion of thc show with thc songs Alleluia , Vidimust scllum , with a solo from Geoffrey Lapp, and Scijneur .j e vous cn pric. Next , a familiar carol, The First Nowell began with a strong solo performance by senior Andre Wills. The Husky Singers concluded 'tlieir portion of the show with The Twelve Days of Christmas , which featured solo performances from Steve McLaughlin and Kcnj i Kinoshita . After a brief intermission, the Concert Choir continued with Once in Royal David' s City , featuring solos'by Paula Hcaden and John Oxenridcr and What Cheer, which was conducted b y Steve McLaughlin. After Good Cheer, thc choir then moved from thc stage and stationed themselves throughout Carver Hal l and proceeded to treat the audience to familiar carols such as Away in a Manger , Jolly Old St. Nic/iotas , Silent Ni g ht , Behold a Star From Jaco b Sinning , For Unto Us a Child is Born. Thc show concluded with an encrgyfillcd rendition of Handel' s Hallelujah. by TcdKistlc r Staff Writer "Basically, it 's just people on campus who wan t to dance." That is how thc choreographer/director JodyL ynn Swartz describes the modern dance ensemble she has put together under the name The Moving Company. Thc Bloomsburg University troupe 's second production , Scidpture s of Life , features thc dance company as well as three groups of actors from Swart/.' Fundamentals of Acting class. "We're going a little bit beyond naturalistic acting," says Swartz , who sees the performance as "somewhere between " dance , basic movement , body language, and mime. Sculptures follows lasl fall' s Thisn- 'That. It will feature six numbers by thc troupe and three by the actors. Thc key to tlie entire production is expression th rough movement. Some of the company 's numbers stem from sculptures (Rodin 's Head of Sorrow and Alberto Giaocometti 's Four Figures on a Pedestal ) which Swartz has studied. "I just keep looking into the sculpture ," she says. Four figures on a Pedestal , for example , expresses the fi gures ' breaking away fro m their immobile pedestal bonds and their first encounter with free movement. Other numbers developed out of musical pieces. "I listen over and over and over until I get one movemen t that 's really it ," notes Swartz. Alexander Charles, whom Swartz met throug h thc Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble 's production of Tar tuffe lasl year, composed much of lhc music featured in thc Sculptures of Life show. (Charles did lhc music for Tartuffc , and Swartz was reall y impressed by it , so she contacted him lo compose for the Moving Company.) Thc numbers Hip to be Nip and Rainbo Love were inspired by tracks on thc album Bedful of Metaphysicians. In Hip, thc characters "meet each other, share an experience, and leave." Rambo Love employs portable cassette players worn by the dancers . Though they all dance and listen to lhc same music , the meeting is not complete because of the cassetle players ' interference. "There's part of the interaction thai just can't happen." Charles also composed , at Swartz ' request, an o riginal score for the show titled The Wall. Swartz says that when she talked, to Charles , telling him how his music had inspire d her dance ideas, "He didn 't understand lhat at all , how anybody could be inspired in thai way." Thc idea for The Wall arose from Swartz ' visit this summer to the Vietnam Veteran s' War Memorial in Washington D.C. "There was something tliere," she says. "I looked holiday concert this The lilmmisbifr). University Concert Choir helps bring the Joy of Christmas lo Carver Hall with their annual phoioby Jcnna Moc past weekend. Performances were Friday night at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. ^ Dancers create 'Sculptures of Life * Gameknobs & Joysticks Games perspecti veye sterday and today : it all comes around by Douglas Rapson Staff Writer It 's hard to believe how far video games have come since the good old days. I can still remember hassling Mom or Dad for a quarter as we would wander up the concourse of the mall. Thc first game I ever remember playing was some sort of bomber game. Thc object was to destroy the buildings below with your bombs. However , enemy planes were always pestering you and hampering your efforts. My dad got in on the act once the new game came to the mall. Perhaps there arc other people who remember a certain football game in which one would select a play and proceed to play it out by slapping a track-ball. Thc "O's" would always run down the field as the "X's" chased close behind. Soon , thc mall replaced the footbal l game and Space Invaders came to town. I was never very good at Space Invaders until it came to thc Atari 2600's, but I persisted in playing thc arcade version all the same. But then thc mall started to expand. They gol another game that Dad coul d play with his son. Space War previewed the famous "Asteroid" starship and another that looked like Star Trek's Enterprise. It feature d two ships that would battle against each other around a sun with gravity . The firs t player to reach 10 points would win . Asteroids followed wilh its "killer UFOs" and was another instant hit. It seemed that I could never get anywhere near the Asteroids machine in thc mall . And then Pac Man came. The first dollar that I spent on Pac Man , I was under thc impression that I was one of thc ghosts. I tried like mad to get my ghost to respond. But no matter how hard I tried , that darn yellow "gobbler" got me and I disappeared. Many years later , during junior high , the next major innovation happened. They incorporated laser disk players with the video game. AH ofa sudden everyone was playing Dragon 's Lair and Space Ace. However , these games were very short-lived and can 't even bc found these days without a dili gent search . But as tliey say, it all comes around. What are some of tlie newest games that are attracting game players galore? Would you believe Blasteraids, a three dimensional version of — you guessed it — Asteroids. Three dimensions enhance every game. It seems that Pac Man has gone 3-D in its latest upgrade, also. Of course there are always new up and comers in the field and newer variations on the old themes. It all comes around. ¦ up my father's name and my brother's name , jusl to see if they were there, and they were." Though most of the names belonged to total strangers and not her relatives , seeing them still struck a chord. ' Thc role of thc acting students in tlie product ion has its roots in pre-Hitler Germany when "movement choirs " were Conned to provide a creative and emotional release for thc working class who, S warty, says, "did not feci appreciated."'Thc choirs also gave a common goal and sense of purpose lo the workers , who eventually formed tlie choirs in nearly every community . Thc influences of these choirs , she says, were reflected in lhe animated and synchronized parading of the Nazi troops. "Each of the three groups (from the class) were extremely different from each other ," says Swartz. These differences led to thc theme of each group 's performance. One group, Swartz says, "looked like kids in a playground" because of their "energy levels" and active personalities. They will perform Vie Playground , acting oul four conflicts which occur when children are brougnt together. An oil-stage voice scorn s lhc children in ihis lig hthearted piece. The individuality among the members of thc second group led lo llie theme of their performance, In My Dream . In this , thc members take turns describing their dreams while ^ lhc others experience lhc dream. Lack of individual strength led lo thc third group 's theme , To Brainwash , an examp le of one person 's charismatic personality overpowering the others.' Nex t year, Swartz plans to retain the acting porlion of thc show by auditioning for six performance positions, as well as culling thc dance Iroupe to 10 members.

It's almost the end of the semester folks and there 's jus!'21 days left until Christmas. So I figured now's a better time than ever to go shopping and find some quality gifts for some of our . favorite professional figures. A block of Swiss Cheese: A subtle hint to the Philadelphia Eagles defense to let them know that you can 't go to the playoffs if your team is last in the league in defense and your going to give up an average of over 300 yards per game. A box of Kleenex tissues: To Darryl Strawberry of the New York Mets. He had better numbers in two out of three of the offensive statistics to win the National League MVP,but lost it to Kirk Gibson ofthe Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Hey man, I'd be cryin ' if I was him to. A muzzle: To Dick Vitale. No doubt one of the loudest, most obnoxious commentators of college basketball today. At the rate he's going, he 's destined to have a heart attack by the time the Final four rolls around. Dancing lessons f r o m Johnny Travolta : Tolckey Woods ofthe Cincinnati Bengals. Each time he scores a touchdown, it's obvious that ants get in his underwear. Who 's better,him or Mean Gene the Dancing Machine, former dancer of the Gong Show? It's a toss up. A gift certificate f o r the Salvation Army: To Ivan Lendl. This man is serious hurting for some threads. I don 't care how much money Adidas gives him to wear those clothes, the back of his shirt reminds me of the game 'chutes and ladders '. I'm sure we can find him something better at Sal Val. Good thing he 's a phenomenal tennis player. Grapefruit 45 diet or a month with Richard Simmons: To no doubt the fattest man in footb all, "William the Fridge" Perry. He was suspended from the Chicago Bears, and has not been seen for the last six weeks. It's pretty obvious why he's on the cover of Wheaties, and why he did McDonald's commercials. In a recent article a doctor said he is a heart attack waiting to happen. "Just say no to Drugs "pin: To Canadien Sprinter Ben Johnson, New York Giants Lawrence Taylor, the Miami of Dolphins , 90% all bodyduilders , and Seattle Seahawks linebacker, Brian i-.osworth.God , Nancy Reagan would be so proud of me. A clue: To Pete Axthelm of ESPN sports. The "wizard" of picking wins for the National Football League. My 12-year old brother is more accurate than this guy. A nd last but not least,justa win for the Miami Heats: The new expansion team in the NBA , who is 0 for 1988 at this point. Even the Chatlotte Hornets have captured a couple of wins already,(we won't discuss the one over the Sixers). Well that wraps it up for may Christmas shopping.

BU s Sharon O'Keefe finds herself in chief position of Algonquin Indian game at BU by Kelly Ann Cuthbert Sports Editor North American Indians started the game, women originated their own version of it in 1886, and some 102 years later, it found it's way to Bloomsburg University. The game of lacrosse was apparently invented by the Algonquin tribes in the Valley of the St. Lawrence. Only then , the game was called "Baggataway" and had religious value. It was performed as a training device for tribal warriors. "Games" lasted for two or three days and the goals, which were 500 yards apart, were marked by trees. The first rules were established in 1867, and 19 years later, women were in the market for their own version. They had their first Southern Ladies lacrosse club in 1905, and in 1912, they had their own Ladies' Lacrosse Association. Women have been participating in the sport at BU since 1976. Since that time, there have been many ups and downs. The road to success hasn't been easy. Sharon O'Keefe, head coach for BU women's lacrosse, can attest to that "When I first came here, we were very unsuccessful . We.had no wins and only six games on our schedule. But we went from 0-8 to 6-5 last year. And for the last three years we have qualified for states." O'Keefe, who enjoys outdoor and wilderness activities such as backpacking, is currently seeking her second Master's degree in Experiential Education from Mankato in Minnesota. This Trenton , New Jersey native received a Bachelor's of Science in Health and Physical Education from Trenton State College, where she played field hockey and lacrosse. Her firstMaster 's of Education was earned at East Stroudsburg Un iversity, now a rival of her own team. O'Keefe credits her interest in coaching to an active family life . "Being raised with two older brothers and a twin sister, I was always active. That led to my interest in sports." While in college, she coached club teams—a job lhat included instructing basketball, lacrosse, swimming, and field hockey. She is also the assistant coach for BU field hockey. Field hockey lakes her time in the fall , while lacrosse opens in the spring. "Lacrosse keeps you in shape and everyone seemsto have a good time— it must be something about the spring." And having fun is an important part of the O'Keefe coaching philosophy. Maybe this has something to do with her role models, who were her high school and college coaches. "They had a good outlook on life," she said, "and it wasn't just win , win, win. It was more than lhat. You wanted to behave as a team member, to do it for the betterment of the team, the betterment of you—not just to win. "As a coach, I want to go out to practice and enjoy it and in return , I want the players to enjoy it—that 's my first priority." She added , "Only hard work will get them success, and if they enjoy doing lhat, that says a lot." Every player on this squad has to work hard because no player has a set position. "I like to treat my players fairly and with respect, and I expect that in return—that makes the team rapport really good"—whether the players are skilled or just beginning. O'Keefe enjoys teaching unskilled lacrosse players the basics. "How they react when they 've finally picked it up makes it worth it, worth the effort." And her efforts as a coach have not been without success. Three years ago BU was ranked fourth in the state PSACs and took fourth. Two years ago they were ranked fourth and placed third. Last year they were ranked third and took third, but they beat the team that won the championship in regular season—Millersville. O'Keefe believes the team's recent success is due to more participants and more interest in the sport. "It's a good feelingknowing that the students want to come out and play." But O'Keefe is disappointed with one aspect of the overall program— the fact that there is no national tournament for Division II teams like Bloomsburg. "We don't get any publicity because we're not going to nationals. But there's only 13 Division II schools in the nation, and they have to go to Division I nationals." She adds that it's very hard to get players for the lacrosse program itself. "There's no lacrosse in this area, but other sports are all around. Lacrosse is not a really popular sport, or one that's as competitive as other sports because there are less teams and less players." The smaller number of players must "work together to improve each other." Even though she's disappointed with the limited opportunities afforded to the participants of the sport,she is positive about the impending season. O'Keefe is excited about talented incoming freshmen,returning scorers, and a strong midfield. "I'm looking to be a contender for the PSAC, a strong contender. Last year we broke a lot of firsts—including the win against Millersville. We beat them and we had our best season yet." Those kind of hard-fought wins are the results of intense training. The players begin to practice on February 1. What follows is a hard two months of indoor training at Nelson Field House, and cold practices outside in the parking lot when the fields are covered with snow. How do they escape the frigid environment? They migrate—to the warm sunny beaches of thc south during Spring Break. This year most of the learn will spend their break in Bermuda. "We've gone south five times out of the pasl seven years. It's very good for us. It helps the team get to know each other and get pre-season conditioning and skill work in while the fields arc still covered with snow. I think we're a lot stronger than other teams in lhe beginning of lhe season because of this." Not only are the players quite ready to face the season, but O'Keefe feels that sports help you to face life. It certainly disciplines you—it demands you organize your schedule. I think sometimes athletes tend to have better grades than others who aren 't active in extracurricular activities." She added that sports "teaches you to communicate with others. Certainly, a good sense of humor helps!" Being on a team also gives you a chance td meet new people, and for O'Keefe, "The more people you meel, the more you learn." There's one more thing she has to add. "I don 't think a team is a team unless they're all pulling for each other." This season should be no exception for a coach and a team that work hard but know how to have fun too. by Lincoln Weiss Sports Editor As we head into finals week, most of us will not be thinking about Bloomsburg basketball. But upon return to the university after the Christmas break, both the men's and women's basketball teams will head into conference division play. Last week we reviewed the PSAC East division for the men. Today we will review the PSAC East division for the women. The top three teams qualify for post season play. sity history should score over 2,000 points in her career at Bloomsburg. Becky Pigga or Nina Alston will be coach Joe Bressi's point guard. Pi gga battled through injuries last season but should contribute more to the program. Alston was a strong player as a freshman and has scoring punch along with better defensive play. Up front will be sophomore Barb Hall. Hall will not be relied upon for scoring but more for rebounding. Others to watch will be Donna Cooper and Karen DeLullo. DIVISION CHAMPS FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. MILLERSVILLE- Millersville lost their co-captains, Jul Zuber and Ginny Ackeiwicz, to graduation but returns everyone else and should again contend for the conference title. Returning is two all PSAC East first team choices, forward Karen Arnold and guard Kathy Howell. Arnold led the team last year in scoring and rebounds and probably will do the same thing this year. Howell gives the Marauders a outside shooting threat as she shot over 50 percent from the field last year. Also returning are forwards Deb Hallman and Tina Klotzbeecher. Others to watch are Mary Mcleerey at point guard and freshman Tracy Brain at center. ANOTHER RUN AT THE TITLE, BUT NOT ENOUGH HORSES. KUTZTOWN -With a tough non- conference schedule ahead of them the Golden Bears will have problems early in the season but will contend for a playoff spot come division play time. Kutztown returns all players from last year's club that just missed the playoffs a year ago. The team leader is senior Sherry Szczuka. Szczuka can do it all, score, rebound, steal the ball, and hand out assists. Pam Dreisbach will be the point guard and should continually feed the ball to Szczuka. Leading the forward positions will be Melissa Boettger. Boettger will be needed to score more points that last year in order for Kutztown to win. Others to watch will be Katy Tranguch and Monica Charles. PLAYOFF CONTENDER , COULD SURPRISE SOME TEAMS. WEST CHESTER- Will the Rams survive without superstar center Linda Vidovich. Head coach Deirdre Kane hopes so as she has everybody else back. Alicia Lomax should help fill the shoes of Vidovichas she will probably be the starting center. Four starters return including senior Leslie Mensch who is a reliable shooter and a strong defensive player. Michelle Markley will need to learn how to stay out of foul trouble at the other forward spot in order to be effective. At guard will be Gretchen Scott, she is the team defensive player and sharpshooter from the outside. At point guard is Colleen McNamara who is the team playmaker handing out over 100 assists last season. Others to watch will be Lori Patrick and Bridget Gieles. A PLAYOFF CONTENDER. EAST STROUDSBURG- The Warriors will struggle early while they learn a new system under first year coach Betty Clark. East Stroudsburg has eleven players returning including top scorer Nan Wagner. Wagner should be the third player in the university's history to score over 1000 points in her career. Also returning is Tonia Lloyd, another scoring threat for the Warriors along with point guard Laura Lenio. Others to watch are Colleen Newman .Colleen CaseandMariaLangendoerfer. CAN BE A SPOILER LATE IN THE SEASON. CHEYNEY- The Wolves return to division play after five years at the Division II level. Second year coach Jackie Tunstall returns all key players from last year's team including one of the top leading scorersin the nation Wanda Williams. Williams had a outstanding 26.7 average last season and she may be able to carry the team to some victories in the division. Annette Rodgers is the center and Denise Hughes is the point guard. Returning to Cheyney are four proposition 48 victims. Cheyney is tall as they have five players that are 5-10 or higher. Others to watch are Tina Brooks, Leslie Baker, and Star Hopkins. THE RETURN OF A ONCE PROUD JUGGERNAUT. MANSFIELD- The Mountaineers can score, but they can 't defend. That may change with an outstanding freshman class that includes high school all-star selections Dominica Applegate and Darla Shepard. Leading Joe French's club will be Lisa Sherman who leads the team in scoring and rebounding. Sophomore Sondra Tracy led the conference in three point shooting last year and should do so again. Mansfield has their version of the twin towers in Dawn Bemhard and Debbie Gyms who need to play strong inside for the Mountaineers to win. Others to watch will be Tina Craig, and Denise Pitcher, all first year players for Mansfield. NEEDS HELP WITHDEFENSE AND THAT WILL LOSE MANY GAMES.
