Panel Discusses Date Rape
By PATTY HAGMANN
The panel discussion, "Date
Rape At BSC?" held last
Tuesday, evening proved to be
very successful. Mrs. Kay
Camplese. from the counseling
center ; Mrs. Jenny Carpenter,
Director of Resident Halls:
Dean Norton, Dean of Student
Life; Mrs . Deb Barnes,
Assistant Police Chief and Dr.
Rein
Barrile ,
Assistant
Professor of Sociology and
Social Welfare , were all
members of the panel.
Panel members briefl y
discussed their theories
of rape and their obligations to help victims.
Each panel member gave a
brief discussion of different
theories of rape and date rape
and their obligation and
responsibility as faculty
members, to, rape victims.
Barrile gave a general scope
of the issue. According to
Barrile's statistics, there are
between 300 thousand to a half
million rapes each year and
only one fifth are reported. Half
of these rapes occur between
people who know each other.
There are three types of rapes
occurring on campuses. These
three types include date rape,
peer rape and multiple offender
rape.
Date rape is between two
people and is considered when
"one person goes too far/'
Because this can often occur in
dating circumstances it is

called "Date Rape."
Peer rape occurs when two
people attack another person.
Most rapes on campus are peer
rapes. Multiple Offender rapes
are rapes involving three or
more people ganging up on one
other person.
Rape is an assault and a
violent crime, it is an interpersonal assault. Most rape
victims are between the ages of
15 and 24 years old. Seduction is
often called petty rape because
a person doesn 't come out of it
totally bruised and battered
The reason why there are so
many unreported rapes is
because many times the people
know the assailant and do not
want to turn their friends in.
Seventy three percent of rapes
occurring on a college campus
occur between people who know
each other and only twenty
seven percent are strangers.
Reasons for Rape
Some peop le believe
that sex is associated
with power , control...
Barrile explained that
reasons underlying rape are
varied/ Some people believe
that sex is associated with
power , control, ownership and
domination , virility
masculinity , hostility , rage,
acceptance, as well as a cure
for unrelated
problems.
Because people do feel these
things, they often become a

Volunteer Fair
is Successful

By GAYLE WEAVER
Where were you between
11:00 and 2:00 on Thursday,
October 21? At this time, the
BSC Volunteer Fair was held in
the KUB multi-purpose rooms.
The 1982 Volunteer Fair
sponsored by the Career
Development Center at BSC
was a very interesting and
worthwhile event. The Career
Development Center located in
Ben Franklin hosts the fair so
that the public can obtain
career and people experience,
gain personal satisfaction, and
acquire practical experience
both academically and socially.
Twenty-six v o l u n t e e r
programs were represented,
and each area contained informational pamphlets and
booklets that were free to all
students and faculty . For
example, volunteer programs
such as the American Red
Cross. Women's Center, Board
of Assistance, Farmworker
Opportunities, Inc., Easter
Seals. ^Conservation District,
PA. Association for the Blind,
and many others had displays.

This year. Michelle Mathis and
Sally Waselik, who assist in the
career clinic, were coordinators
of the Volunteer Fair.
Approximately 70 students
attended the Volunteer Fair this
year and that is about the same
number of students as the
previous year.
Do you think you are volunteer material? Put your best
foot forward and give it a try.
The United Way is seeking
volunteers to help with slide
shows and presentations to be
shown
to
groups
and
organizations. In addition, the
Conservation District of
Columbia County will need
volunteers in mid-April to help
with a three-day seedling
project/ The Bloomsburg Area
School District also needs
students to be tutors. The list is
endless. All the volunteer
programs need your help now.
With a little caring, a lot can be
accomplished. You must take
the first step. To all interested
students who missed seeing the
fair - - please contact the Career
Development Center.

rape offender.
Functions of a Rapist
A rape offender may feel they
gain the satisfaction of power ,
mastery and conquest. They
then affiliate themselves with
status. Sometimes they rape to
get revenge from feelings of
humiliation. Rapists may ex>
press sadism or countered
repressed
feelings
or
unresolved sexual issues.
Social cause of Rape
Barrile also pointed out social
causes of rape. Some of these
include the fact that society
fosters "Rape Ideology ",
sexualism of male female
relations, lack of equal social
status, as well as lack of female
solidarity.
Consequences of Rape
The consequences of rape are
lasting and many. A rape victim
may have the sense of status
degrada tion, they may feel the
loss of validity, position and
dignity. The victim may also
have emotional numbness and
feel a lack of self respect. A
woman may have doubts about
herself to relate to others and
develop trust especially if the
rape occurred with someone
they were involved with. A rape
victim is also often terrified.and
anxious. Barnes went over the
legal aspects involved with
rape.
Rape is a felony of the first
degree. A rapist may be sentenced to 20 years in prison and
a fine of $25 thousand. Barnes
expressed the importance of
reporting rapes. She stated
three main reasons for
reporting rapes occurring on
campus. The first reason a rape
should be reported is to help
yourself.

Ertel To Win ?

By DEB BERKLEY
It has been said in the past that students at BSC are apathetic
towards politics and voting. Students in Mr. James Percey's
Political Parties and Elections class disproved this theory two
weeks ago when they polled Columbia County residents with
regards to the upcoming Pennsylvania elections.
The 14 students spent between 40-50 hours developing questions
for the poll, polling one half of one percent of registered voters ( 141
people) in this county, and tabulating results to obtain election
predictions.
"We have been doing this even years since 1966," Percey said.
"We have been right 21 out of 22 times; only wrong in 1968 in the
Senate race."
The group predicts that Democratic candidate for Governor,
Allen Ertel, will win in this county over current Governor Thornburgh in a close race. Ertel will win by only a few hundred votes,
the group predicts. The reasons listed by registered voteres for
favoring Ertel was the current high unemployment rate and antiThornburgh sentiments.
In the Congressional race, Republican James Nelligan was
predictedto "blow Frank Harrison out of the race."
Percey called this "ticket splitting," since the same voters that
had voted Republican in the Congressional race were voting for a
Democratic candidate for governor. He said, "In the Congressional
race it is difficult to predict a landslide." Therefore, the tabulations
indicated Nelligan at 70 percent and Harrison at 30 percent by a
7,500 or more vote margin.
"Through poll results, the group feels that Nelligan will win the
whole district, and feel it would be enough for him to be re-elected."
Those voters polled were asked: ''What is the most important PA
issue in the race for governor? " Economic reasons were cited by
84.1percent of the Republicans and 77.6 percent of the Democrats.
Other votes were cast for politicaland other reasons.

Murder Suspect May be
in Bloomsburg
A car fitting the description of
that of a Tylenol murder
suspect was spotted traveling
south toward Bloomsburg on
Thursday evening, according to
reports.
A Columbia county resident
reported seeing a 1969 station
wagon with a Missouri license

VOLUNTEER FAIR workers talked to stuetents in the Union

plate. The car's description is
similar to the one belonging to
James Lewis, now wanted for
questioning in the recent
Tylenol murders case.
State police in Erie, Pennsylvania reported spotting the
same vehicle earlier Thursday
afternoon.

Letters to the Editor

Harrison
Proposal
Questioned

Dear Editor:
On Wednesday, October 20th,
the Campus Voice ran an article
on Mr. Harrison. Among the
various topics discussed was
the student fi nancial aid and
loan programs.
Mr. Harrison 's views on
financial aid need to be looked
at closely. It sounds nice when
first reading it, but after taking
a good look at what he said, I
was shocked by his views.
First he said "...federal
grants for students should be
awarded on a combined basis of
the economic need ... and the
students expected ability to
repay upon graduation. "
Is he crazy? Students aren't
stupid. I could go to school for 2
years as an education major,
say in chemistry, and after 2
years declare my major as
chemistry. Since the mean
salary in education, to start, is
several thousand dollars lower
than that in chemistry, I've beat
the system for 2 years of
schooling. Because as Mr.
Harrison said, I would receive
more aid. and not be forced to
take out large loans. Besides,
my expected ability to pay in
the future may be fine, provided
I have enough money to pay for
now.
Mr. Harrison's views will
tend to push students into areas
like education , which are
already flooded with graduated
students, because students
would receive large grants,
which they don't have to pay
back. Students in professional

areas, however, like nursing,
engineering, medicine , etc.
would be forced to take out
large loans and receive little
aid. therefore reducing the
number of students in these
areas, except for those people
whose parents have large
enough incomes to support their
children in school.

Also. Mr. Harrison said "the
student would have to have a
clear idea of his course of study
to qualify. " How many students
graduating from high school
have this "clear idea"?? Will
students lose or receive no aid
because they haven't selected a
major? And as stated earlier,
what about students who
change majors? Would they
lose aid. or be forced to pay
back the difference in aid and
loans should their new area of
study be higher paying? (And of
course would the opposite be
true, should the new area of
study have a lower "expected"
ability to pay??
Financial aid has been a big
issue this year, students should
be aware of someone who
promises to cure the system
overnight. What if no one in
Congress feels the way Mr.
Harrison does? Then his
program would be doomed to
failure anyway. After all, his
program is indeed quite a
change from todays program,
and would probably cost much
more to administer.
The system now may not be
the greatest, but the one Mr.
Harrison proposes is absurd.
Donald A. Canada Jr.

Bloom Hospital
Blues

Dear Editor :
I would like to direct attention
to the poor patient treatment I,
and I'm sure others, have
received at the E.R. of . the
Bloomsburg Hospital.
On October 18 I was sent to
see the college doctor, Dr.
Reese, for treatment of a skin
infection. I left immediately,
figuring tha t at that time there
would be no one waiting and
tha t I coud be seen quickly. I
was wrong. I waited for approximately forty minutes until
Dr. Reese was able to see me. I
wasn 't really upset by this, I'm
a fairly patient person. I was
told to return on Wednesday for
the results of my lab cultures.
Knowing that I had an exam
at ten o'clock, I decided to call
the hospital to see if thay could
give me 'the results of my test
over the phone. No such luck, I
was told to come in around 9 or
9:30 when the doctor could see
me immediately. Immediately?
Again I was forced to wait for
over forty minu tes while the
nurse attempted to have Dr.
Reese paged. At about 9:45 I
asked ttje nurse how soon it
would be before I was to see the
doctor. I received the reply,
"Well. I paged him honey. But
I'll page him again." First of
all. I don't appreciate being
called "honey". Second, Dr.
Reese is supposed to be on duty
at 8:30 and available to see
students from the college. This
was a waste of my valuable
time, and I don't appreciate
being treated like a child.
.When I was finally seen by
Dr. Reese. I was given about the
rudest answers to my valid
questions that I could imagine.
After asking for the specific
results of my lab tests, Dr.
Reese was very abrupt with his
answer and seemed to take it as
a personal affront for a patient
to want to know all about his
ailment. When I asked about the
change in my prescription , Dr.
Reese seemed to feel that it
wasn't necessary to waste the
time to explain the change to
me. All in all , I was made to feel
that I should place all my trust
in the doctor 's decision and tha t
I shouldn 't be concerned with
what was happening to my own
body. I'm sorry, but I feel that
this kind of attitude is
dangerous. Certainly the doctor
is more knowledgeable than
myself but he should share that
knowledge in order to help me
heal more quickly and to
prevent the same thing from
recurring. ,
I just hope that in the future
Dr. Reese will have a better
bedside manner and a little
more time to spend with his
patients. After all, we could
take our business to Geisinger!
Impatient Patient

To Stay or
Not To Stay?

, Dear Editor :
In reply to the "Weekender at
BSC". I would like to express

my opinion of the situation at
hand. My questions to that
person are: Do you have many
friends? Are mommy and
daddy paying for your college
tuition tha t you don 't need a
job? Or is it a case that you live
near Alaska and can 't get home
until Christmas?
Concerning the activities on
the weekends, have you looked
at your BSC calendar lately?
The only reason there were so
many activities this past
to
weekend
was
due
Homecoming. I'm sure there
will be a lot more activities
parents weekend, but nine out of
ten weekends it's either a party
or go home.
I think if the people want to go
home on the weekends they
have every right to and no one
should look down upon them for
doing so. Maybe they have
friends or a job that may benefit
their tuition.
In conclusion, next time you
want to persecute someone, try
your goldfish or someone wit)i
the same mentality level. And
you BSC students who go home
on weekends, keep on going.
"Suitcase person working
for the weekends"

Away from Home
Dear Editor :
I am very concerned about
the large number of college
students living at home while in
school. I am a 1981 graduate of

Mount Saint Mary 's College in
Emmitsburg. MD., and by
talking to faculty members and
students. I found that students
who live away from home do
better both academically and
socially than students who live
at home. I hope the following
suggestions will be considered
and implemented by colleges:
First. I think all freshmen
should be required to live on
campus in dormitories and not
be allowed to register motor
vehicles during their freshman
year. Many freshmen are
tempted to run away from a
stressful situation (such as
being away from home) and the
absence of a vehicle makes this
more difficult. College freshmen need to cope with these
stressful situations because
they need to be away from
home, but they also need
guidance and support from peer
advisors , faculty deans, and
other college personnel so
adjustment to the demands of
college can be hastened?
Second , I think all upperclassmen should be allowed
to live either on or off campus
and register motor vehicles.
Again. I stress that the importance of being away from
home fosters responsibility and
independence on the part of the
college student and this results
in higher grades and a more
satisfying ' social life for the
college student.
Very Sincerely,
Glenn O. Rickard HI

Panel Discussion
(Continued from Page 1)

Because there are three
female officers working on
campus a girl doesn 't have to
feel uncomfortable reporting
such an incident to a male officer. One thing Barnes stressed
was being drunk is not a defense
to a criminal charge of rape. A
person is just as liable drunk or
not.
If a woman does not report a
rape for her own sake she
should do so to help others. The
faster security or the police
knows of an incident the quicker
the criminal can be apprehended. This could give
other women more confidence
knowing that a rapist could be
apprehended.
Carpenter pointed out that
most campus related rapes are
alcohol related. Carpenter
suggested that upperclassmen
warn the incoming freshman
and take responsibility to help
other women students. As Dean
of Student Life , Carpenter
pointed out that Resident
Advisors must report sexual
assault in order to get medical
care and counseling for the
victim.
As Dean of Student Life,
Norton is made aware of this
type of action on campus.
Norton said. "There is a judic ial
system tha t an offender goes
through.
The counseling center is in-

volved with cases such as these
to help the victim clarify what
has happened and to explain the
students' limitations and rights.
There was a question raised
as to why the Campus Voice
covers such issues. Norton said,
"Something this serious should
be told and publicized," it raises
awareness on campus.
People always think it will
happen to someone else.
"People should take on
responsibility to help girls
handle themselves and care
more for each other," said
Carpenter. It was also brought
up that women should not only
help the women but confront the
men as well.

Planning Committee Meets

By BETSY WOLLAM
The Campus-Wide Committee
for Long Range Planning
(CWCP) was the main topic of
discussion at the third meeting
of the Executive Committee of
the . Representative Assembly
last week. Despite the amount
of time the committee spent on
the subject, the issue was
finally tabled.
Mr. John Walker, executive
assistant to the president ,
brought up the topic of the
CWCP. noting that there were
some problems with the makeup of its membership. The
ensuing discussion dealt with
alternate ways with which to
handle the problem. „ ¦, . : "
Walker's concern was' • the
u n d e r - r e p r e s e n t a t i o n of
students on the committee.; As
the committee structure ndw
stands! only two out of 16
members
are
stude'rits.
However discussion centered
not on student representation ,
but more on how to handle the
electing and appointment
procedure for the faculty

members on the committee.
Afte r over a half hour of
discussion, the issue was finally
dismissed unresolved. It will go
to the APSCUF committee for
consideration before it is
finalized.
Walker , however , is optimistic.
"It's not going to be difficult
to reach a compromise that we
are all satisfied with and that
can be effective," he said.
The committee is under new
leadership this year, with Dr.
Leo
Barrille,' associate
professor of sociology, in the
chairman position. BSC senior
Michele Kessler is the committee 's new vice-chairperson.
For
Kessler ,
Barrille
proposed some new responsibilities. He suggested it be the
responsibility of the vicechairperson to encourage
student members of the
Representa tive Assembly to
attend meetings of both the RA
and the committee to which
they were appointed or elected.

A Year Later — Assault Incident Told by Victim

It was a late August evening
as I strolled down Main Street,
Bloomsburg, Pa. enjoying the
cool night air. I was still a little
tipsy from the party I had attended, but felt no apprehension
as I approached the alley that I
now associate with the most
horrifying encounter of my life.
As two young men , apparently college students ,
approached from the opposite
direction , no threatening
thought entered my mind. I had
no sense of danger as the
devastating act began.
In passing, one of the men
made a crude statement
directed towards me. I spontaneousl y responded to his
vulgarity with a smart com-

ment, which activated his
aggression. He came closer and
gave me a slight push, which
seemed to me at first a friendly,
almost apologetic gesture, to
compensate for his earlier
statement. I still felt no panic
because he appeared vaguely
familiar, and the situation did
not yet appear threatening.
The other man walked by,
while the first stopped arid
continued to harass me. Suddenly, fear spread throughout
my body as his aggression
became apparent. He angrily
began pushing me toward the
nearby alley. I realized his
aggression was sincere and
indeed directed toward me. He
continued to push me farther

WmWM

and farther down the alley
which connects Main Street
with parking lots. The street
lights faded and darkness enveloped us. By the time I
realized the danger of the
situation , it was too late. He
already had me under his
control. With the weight of his
large body and his physical
strength , he overpowered my
comparably small body.
In shock. I was too startled
and stunned to act rationally. I
did not fight or scream for help.
I made no effort to be rescued.
A feeling of helplessness came
over my body and mind as he

seemed to be controlling my
every movement and thought.
My first awareness of the
surroundings came when I
found myself pressed between a
car and his body, and I realized

parking lot. Although I was
familiar with the area, I could

not recognize any landmarks. I

was lost.
As the reality of his brutal

iii:i»7ii

attack grew stronger , my mind
began to clear and my senses
slowly started to return. I could
hear music nearby and I
recognized the aroma of pizza in
the air. I could hear cars
stopping and starting at a
traffic light on Main Street.
Comprehending the lifethreatening situation I was in, I
began to think and knew I must
immediately act. I struggled to
escape. My fear caused me to
lose all conception of time and
space. I could not remember the
details of my escape, nor what
happened next.
There was a lapse that I could
not account for . When I gained
consciousness, I found myself
lying on the rough pavement
with my neck propped against
the car. my head half inside it.
I began screaming words,,
phrases and pleas, begging to
be released and taken home. I
had no control of the words
leaving my mouth, nor the
thoughts that exploded in my
mind. As he tried to force me
inside the car . I screamed even
louder and fought wildly, trying
to avoid being pushed into the

car. I knew it posed an even
greater threat to me than the
dark parking lot. I began
kicking and striking out at him ,
trying to make a space between
our bodies, but he never moved
far enough away for me to
escape.
After what seemed to me
hours of pleading and
struggling. I suddenly became
exhausted, and collapsed. I sat
in the car in a trance, the only
thought in my mind was, is it
over?
The answer did not really
have any relevance to my next
move, because I was too
emotionally and physically
drained to even think of a plan
of action.
As my attacker started the
car and began to drive, I could
not move. Before I could clear
my mind, he parked in front of

constant dread that

will reappear.
my house and told me I was free
to go inside. I was startled to see
tha t I was home and even more
so. that I was alive. How he got
me home stunned me, for I was
positive that I had not mentioned where I lived.
Although more than a year
has passed, and my address has
changed , the memories of this
night remain crystal clear in
my mind. I have lived with a
constant dread that someday
my attacker will reappear. I
initially filed legal charges
against the attacker, in hopes
that he would be captured and
punished, but soon afterwards
my fears forced me to withdraw
the charges even if he were
found. I was afraid that upon his
arrest , he would receive a
simple slap on the wrist and
would be released to seek
revenge on me, or perhaps on
other innocent women.
Although this incident has
violated my sense of pride and
left me with a feeling of
disappointment in mankind, it
also has made me empathetic
with other victims that are too
horrified to prosecute their
attackers.

Reggae Sounds Explored In The 80's

By LLOYD S. WAGNER
(Lloyd Wagner is the Editor of
"The Scop", King's College's
School magazine)
Reggae. It' s quickly becoming the music of the
eighties. It can be heard
everywhere, from the driving
beat of the Police, to the
Grateful Dead's "Fire on the
Mountain"; from the authentic
sounds of Jamaica 's Steel
Pulse, to such obscure groups
as the Basement Five.
Everywhere
people
are
recognizing that Reggae is a
strong and dynamic form of
music, but to many people,
Reggae means much more. To
the Rastafarian, Reggae is the
musical embodiment of race,
religion and revolution.
Reggae began making
notable inroads on the
American musical market in
the early seventies and has
become a stylistic force over
the past several years. Much of
the commercial success of this
rhythmic and hypnotic music is'
due to its acceptance by popular
white musicians, either as a
basis for their own style, such
as England's Police, or as a
source of well written songs,
such as Bob Marley's "I Shot
the Sheriff" , which Eric
Clapton turned into a popular
hit. Once Reggae became accepted, audiences ventured into
the dark corners of their local
record stores where the Reggae
bins are hidden and were soon
"6 out of 10 are either
Rastas of Rasta sym pathizers."
talking of such Jamaican artists
as Toots Maytal, Peter Tosh,
Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley
and the Wallers.
Despite its adoption by white
performers and audiences ,
Reggae remains a definitely
black form of musical expression , rooted deep in the
racial experiences of the
Jamaican black. Reggae is a
synthesis of na tive rhythms,
calypso, blues and rock influences. This broad base gives
Reggae its unique and broad
musical appeal .
While white audiences have
accepted Reggae for its appeal,
most don 't realize its
acceptlong
standing
ance in Third World nations. This stems from Reggae s association with tb^
raciany onenteu nastafari
religion and the revolutionary
undercurrents of both. For
several decades Reggae has
been involved in Jamaica's
racial tensions, and now it is
involved in the world's. Nothing
better illustrates Reggae's
controversial side than the life
of Bob Marley, Reggae's late
unofficial leader. Before succumbing , to cancer last year,
Marley survived two political,
assassination attempts. One of
these attempts has proved to be
inspirational to the Rastafari

and illustrates their determination. While performing in
Jamaica. Marley was shot in
the leg with a high-powered rifle
but refused to leave stage until
he had finished the show.
As a young nation, Jamaica's
difficulties are typical of the
problems and paradoxes facing
Third World nations and their
people. The relatively stable
"Reggae

making in roads in the
American music market"
economy H r.i>. high nationa l
income is scarred by the harsn
oppressive atmosphere of
Kingston's sprawling ghettos,
where over half of the nation 's
largely unemployed black
majority barely exists. Those
tin shack ghettos are shadowed
by the lavish houses of the
islands' white minority, the
economic arid the political
leaders.
At the same time that black
Muslimism was gaining in
popularity with the United
States' oppressed blacks, black
Jamaicans were turning to
Rastafarism for their sorely
needed spiritual substance.
Paralleling Jewish beliefs, this
evolving religion sees Jamaica
as the black man 's.Babylon, the
temporary home of their
displaced race. According to
these teachings, Ethiopia is the
homeland to which the lost
children of Africa must return.
By themselves these ideas are
innocuos. but like the black
Muslims. Rastafarians view the
white man as being inherently
evil and decadent, in effect the
source of their plight. Perhaps
rightfully so. With this in mind,
Rastafarians feel that they
must break the shackles of their
oppression before they, as
God's chosen people, can return
home. Rasta tradition held that
when a black man was agin king
in Africa it would be time for
this uprising and exodus (both
titles of Bob Marley albums).
•Thus when Haile Selassie
assumed the throne of the
Ethiopian Empire in 1930,- he
the
unwittingly
became
Rastafarian's messiah and God

incarnate. Since this time the
ranks of the Rastafarians have
swollen with people willing to
arise and bring the black race to
its position as the chosen
people, and to lead them on
their journey home.
Although there is no accurate
accounting of the membership,
it is estimated by those
knowledgable on the subject
that six out of every ten
Jamaicans are either Rastas,
as they are casually called, or
Rasta sympathizers. Of these it
is estimated that up to eighty
percent of the membership falls
between the ages of 17 and 35
and is for the most part male.
As the young and rebellious of
all races have always done,
these young Rastas have found
an expressive music to identify
with. This music is Reggae, the
music of Kingston's ghettos.

Rastas and police officers were
killed, resulted in the enacting
of a gun control act which
bordered on being an open
license for political persecution.
(The British courts, which still
maintain final say of Jamaican
legal decisions, later limited
this act. ) As a result of the

legislation, the violence, and the
continuing oppression, Reggae
continues to grow as the
the
rallying
beat
of
Rastafarians and other oppressed Third World groups.
Even though the music of the
Rasta has found acceptance in
liorninuad on peg*7)

This surge in popularity and
sympathy
towards
the
Rastafari philosophies has lead
to a corresponding growth of
racial tensions in Jamaica.
Although this tension seldom
goes beyond the two factions
warily watching each other,
there have been incidents of
confrontation. Two of these, the
"Henry Fiasco", in which two
soldiers and three Rastas were
killed, and the "Holy Thursday
Massacre", where several

Expanded Weather Line
Tabled by Committee
By MEG RONEY
For the second week in a row, the Finance Committee considered
Director of Housing Mr. John Abell's request for funding when it
met for its weekly meeting last Thursday. The funding is requested
by Abell in order to expand the present one-line weather and information service to that of a multi-line system.
Abell's initial request of $2,000, was tabled by the Committee
since it was not accompanied by the required three bids on the
installation service costs of the extra lines.
Of the three bids subsequently submitted, $1,979.77 was the
lowest.
The motion was again tabled by the Committee; however, due to
the fact that Abell was not present at Thursday's meeting to answer
questions on the matter. The main concern of committee members
was the exact terms of the service contract.
Organizations soliciting funds from the Finance Committee are
requested by Sally Marrazzo, treasurer of CGA, to be represented
at the meeting during which their petition is addressed to answer
any questions by committee members.
Organizations are also reminded that 15 copies of their
requisitions are to be presented to either Marrazzo or the CGA
office no later than the Monday before the Finance Committee
meets, which is every Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

Johnson and Johnson
Faces Big Loss
Campus Digest News Service

No one is predicting what
the final financial loss will be
for Johnson and Johnson in
relation to the deaths resulting
from poisoned T 'enol. But it
certainl y will be huge.
Tylenol was leading the
non-aspirin race before the recent disastrous deaths. But
even more important , they
were leading the entire market
of pain relievers. According to
a Sept. 2 article of the Wall
Street Journal , Tylenol enjoyed a 37 percent market
share , compared to 1" sercent
by Anacin , 11 percent by
Bayer , 10 percent by both Bufferin and Excedrin and 19 percent by other brands.
Tylenol touted its
gentle-on-the-stomach , nonaspirin image, while listing all
the oossible side effect that
could be suffered if aspirin was
taken.
As a result of the seven
deaths in Chicaj the sale of
Tylenol is now banned in

some states, voluntarily stopped in others. If Tylenol
returns to the shelves, it will
take more expert public relations than ever before seen in
the marketing world to get
people back to using the product. The steps Johnson and
Johnson will take remain to be
seen.

Misfits Nip FCA in MI Playoff Opener

In what was probably one of
the most exciting games of the
year, The Misfits of the Forties
League knocked off a never say
die Fellowship of Christian
Athletes teams in the first round
of the Men's Intramural softball
playoffs. The playoffs are set up
as a double-elimination tournament with eight teams still in
the running.

FCA took the early
lead to start the action
FCA jumped out to a quick 2-0
lead in the first inning when
Neil Renaldi ripped an RBI
single and Scott Rhodes added
another RBI.
But what was just the start of
the action. The-Misfits went up
6-5 in the fourth just before
Misfit's Mr. Everything, Ricky
Erb belted a grand-slam
homerun, to the opposite field.
Erb kept the Misfits in the game
aJJ day by chasing down long fly
balls that were aided bv the

infamous Nelson wind.
The FCA's rallied in the next
inning, however, as Tim
Konsowiti clubbed a two run
homer. Renaldi's bat remained
hot as he followed with a
tremendous blow to the fence in
rightfield.
The Blue and Gold got three
more in the top of the sixth to
knot the score at 11. FCA
bunched five singles around two
