Fi nal Exam
Worth 100% ?.

A handful of votes!, Yes—that's
all it took for Representative
Assembly to pass last year 's
alcohol policy.
Rep. assembly is a governance
body made up of several constituencies of students, faculty, and
administrators, the latter two
carrying the majority of the voting
power.
Controversial issues seemingly
travel "incognito" from Rep.
assembly to the" student body
where they become the law ! Unfortunately, BU's population shows
little interest until these proposed
policies become standing ones.
This Wed. at 3:00 p7m., Multi-,
purpose Room A, Rep. Assembly
will take action on one such controversial issue. Issue at hand :
Academic Examination Policy.
The current policy states that a
final exam shall be worth no less
than 20 percent and no more than 40
percent of the course grade.
The proposed policy is as
follows: In order to change the
requirement specifying that final
examinations shall be worth no less
than 20 percent nor more than 40
percent of the course grade, there
must be agreement for the change
by the faculty member (s) in
charge of the class, the majority of
the members of their academic
department, and the appropriate
College Dean.
If passed, this policy would allow
professors to weight a final
anywhere from 0-100 percent of the
total course grade.
According to Joanne Growney,
vice president of academic affairs.
"I don't know of any sensible
professor that would have a grade
weighing 100 percent, but I believe
that a professor, should have that
right to determine the distribution
of grading in a course."
As a student, you should be very
concerned about the consequences
of getting an "unsensible"
professor.
Granted, some classes warrant
having only one test to represent
knowledge and ability of the course
(speech, art). But in the past,
students in these classes were
usually allowed the privilege of
giving feedback on the testing
system used. This has proved to be
mutually beneficial to professors
and students.
As it stands now, the proposed
policy allows no room for student
input. Should student input be a
revision of this proposal?
The policy goes on to state: Except for abnormal circumstances,
the approval and . notification to
students should be made by the end
of the first week of classes.
Who and what constitutes an ABNORMAL
CIRCUMSTANCE?
What happens when notification of
a change in testing policy is given
after that "first week of classes ,"
the period in which students are so
kindly allowed to drop-add?
The intent of this article was not
to criticize the committee that
proposed this policy or Rep.
Assembly. Rather , we feel
obligated to keep this policy from
traveling "incognito."
While non-members of Rep.
Assembly do not have voting
power, they do have inputJ This
issue will either be passed, rejected, tabled or sent back to committee for. revision on Wed., 3:00
p.m. in Multi-purpose Room A.

Editorial
OK folks, it's time to get off your butt and le.arn something this
semester. It may even affect your remaining years at Bloom. No, correction, it will affect your remaining years. Especially if you are a freshman, sophomore or junior .
Rep. Assembly does exit, and here 's what it has done and what it can
do:
Of course we're all aware of the present alcohol policy. After all, it does
take a bit of searching and a few phone calls to find a good party these
days. Do you know that this policy was decided on by Rep. Assembly?
This in only one of the more well known policies.
Now we're not saying Rep. Assembly can be good. It can work. It
should work. It's made up of students and f aculty, and they're supposed
to sit down and make decisions that are best for all of us.
So, enter the problem, or problems. s
First of all, and most importantly, there are eight student seats open on
Rep. Assmebly. What that means, is that the student population is not
fully represented at Rep. Assembly. Now that may not seem like a big
deal, but consider the alternatives.
At the moment, Wednesday to be exact, Rep. Assembly will be taking
on an "action" issue (that' s one that is either voted on, sent back to a
committee, or tabled) . The issue is exams. The faculty want the freedom
to make decisions about tests that they give. With the proposal they have
made, the bottom line say that a teacher can choose to give a class one
test a semester - a final. That's your grade. You pass it or you fail it. It all
comes down to one test. Do you want your whole semester grade based on
one test?
Also to be discussed on Wednesday is a "discussion" item dealing with
a proposed plus and minus system of grading. The issue has been floating
around this campus for about four years now and has been seriously been
discussed for two. Supposedly, they will be deciding on this issue within a
few weeks. Don't you think students should have a say in what happens
concerning something as important as our grades?
Another item of interest that has been discussed is the possibility of the
faculty separating from the students. One of the main reasons is that for
some unknown reason, Rep. Assembly isn't functioning to par.
One student, who is on Rep. Assembly, says she had been a member for
one semester, and has only been to three meetings - that's all there has
been. Not only are new members not introduced to the activities of the
Assembly, but their responsibilities are never explained to them. It is up
to them to either find out on their own, or attend enough meetings to
figure everything out. With so few meetings, it could be a problem.
Another downfall of the Assembly is that "gentlemen sometimes forget
to act like gentlemen" when they are trying to get something done or
something said. The session often ends in a shouting match between two
opposing sides.
*
Some faculty feel that since they are not too actively involved in Community Government Association (CGA) they should let the students have
their CGA and let faculty have their own group. They forget one small difference. CGA is students , elected by students, making decisions for
students. If the faculty were to go their separate way, they would be
making decisions for students - with no student input or feedback.
What Rep. Assembly needs is participation - without it, it can not function. Presently, the group has about a 50. attendance rate at every
meeting. Maybe that's why there are so many problems.
But let's not give up without being represented, or not having a vote.
The spaces that are open include 2 from Elwell, 2 from Luzurne, 1from
Montour, 2 from North, and 1commuter. If you live in any Of these places,
think about representing your fellow students. No, do more than think do
it! Even if you don't live in one of these places, show up anyway, have
something to say !

Assembly; has more info on how to become a member. You must have at
least a 2.0 and not be on academic probation. Contact her at the CGA office today!!

Dear Editor,
College is supposed to be a collection of the best times of your life.
However, this year those moments
have been few and far between.
One reason for this is the declining
qualities of nightlife off campus.
Before this academic year, you
didn't have to be paranoid about
throwing a party. No fights erupted
if someone who was not acquainted
with the party 's hosts was denied
entry. This year these hosts have to
have, in their possession, a lead
pipe to discourage crashers. Is this
supposed to be a good time? I think
not. Not letting people in parties, or
not giving them parties to go to and
release their anxieties and tensions
through positive social interaction,
could in itself cause unacceptable
social behavior.
Time was when parties were
abundent. We associated this with
college, a good time, and learning
responsible social drinking habits.
Most people are not driving after a
college party. Let's not forget that
many campus sell beer and allow
the consumption of alcohol. If the
crime rate would raise drastically
because of this I'm sure it would
not continue to exist. Why go back
to the conservative days? Is Big

by Berke Breathed
This topic of partying brings us to
the Bloomsburg bars. Hess' has
joined Lemon's in introducing dancing to their enviornment. A good
idea. That novelty has worn off after hearing "Born to be Alive",
"Shout" , "New York, New York",
and "Cum on Feel the Noize"every
Wednesday and Thursday in Hess'.
I became so tired of hearing the
same songs every week, that I
begged the DJ to play a dance tune
near the top of the charts. He said,
"Hey, I worked here for three months, I know what people like." Why
don't they just save their money
and make a tape to play over and
over again.
Lemons' was different. I found
new people and DJs who are up to
date with the latest dance tunes.
Unfortunately Lemons' sufferd fire
damage. I guess I'll have to bide
my time at Musique for the Intelligensia.

Staff Reporter
Last Monday at the Student
Senate's first meeting of the
semester , $6642.50 was appropriated for the purchase of a
sound system for Nelson Field
House.
The purchase made in conjunction with the basketball and
wrestling teams is a sign of "CGA's
continuing support of extracurricular activities on cam-
pus," said CGA President Chris
Hardinger.
In other business, CGA decided
to support the building of a Huskie
statue to be placed, on Carver
awn, but that this backing will not
exceed $15,000.
Hardinger also pointed out the
vacancy of two senate seats and
said that anyone interested in the
positions should attend the next

Ex-spy and controversial author
Peter James is often referred to as
an "American James Bond."
Espionage, corruption , conspiracies, and cover-ups, all the
elements that make a Bond film so
exciting, James has experienced
himself. However, his story is for
real.
James is a 1962 physics graduate
of Case-Western Reserve University and author of two books : Soviet
Conquests From Space and Air
Force Mafia. He is now working on
a third.
Although he travels approximately 100,000 miles annually
and is home two months a year (not
consecutively) the 43 year old lecturer calls Jamestown, N.Y. home.
For 10 years he was a rocket
engineer for Pratt & Whitney and
the company 's foreign technology
expert in its West Palm Beach
facility. He became heavily involved with both the CIA and Air
Force Intelligence as he traveled
extensively in Europe and South
America attening scientific conferences.

became involved: "the Chief of

Controversial Author to Address Students
The author of a book and movie
that the "New York Times" called
"racist and senseless," and the
"Chicago Daily News" called "one
of the most important films of
1973," will be at Bloomsburg
University, Feb. 1-2. His visit is
sponsored by the Program in Journalism and the Human Relations
Committee.
Sam Greenlee, author of "The
Spook Who Sat By The Door, " will
discuss the book and movie, 8:30
p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 1, in the
Presidents Lounge of Kehr Union.
The 105-minute feature film ,
released by United Artists, will be
shown at 6:30 p.m., prior to the

disapprove of what those cats are
saying?"
Gene Shalit called the book
"wrong-headed and hate-filled,"
while the "L.A. Times," long after
the book's premiere in America,
called it "frightening ."
Greenlee's story is about the attempts of a cynical and ambitious
U.S. senator who tries to capture
the "Negro Vote" by accusing the
CIA of discriminatory hiring practices. The result is that the CIA
recruits and trains in elite corps of
Blacks , but only one, Dan
Freeman, survives the training.
After five years, he leaves the CIA
and returns to Chicago to organize
a terrorist army known as the
Black Freedom Fighters.Their army creates civil rights insurrections in major American
cities.
Greenlee
says
that
"traditionally , you get a
protagonist who tries to triumph
over all, and by the end of the book,
he has either been destroyed by the
system, or he has learned belatedly
that, his efforts not/withstanding,
he can^t overcome racism. I
decided to go one step beyond that.
I would deal with a man who had
already reached that decision and
deal with what alternative he
might take. That makes a new
departure in Black fiction, and I
think some people find it Offensive."
The book is both a satire on the
civil rights problems in the U.S., as
well as a serious attempt to focus
upon the issue of Black militancy.
The author says that , "I consider
the book to be a study of the
revolutionary character in general,
and the farcial nature of racial integration in the U.S. in particular.
It is the story of one ghetto black
to the
man ' s reaction
bourgeoisite."
Greenlee graduated from the
University of Wisconsin, with a
degree in political science, and did
graduate work in international
relations at the University of
Chicago. Among his duty assignments with the USIA were posts in
Iraq, East Pakistan, Indonesia,
and Greece. In 1958, he received
the USIA Meritorious Service
Award. He resigned from the USIA
in 1965 to devote fulltime to his
writing, and in the next three years
wrote three novels, a three-act
play, and five short stories. During
the next few years, several of his
poetry books have met with critical
acclaim.

Greenlee, who spent eight years
as a foreign service officer with the
US Information Agency will also be
a guest at Millville High School and
in Dr. Walter Brasch's journalism
classes on Thursday.
The book sold more than a halfmillion copies, and was condemned
as "racist" and praised as
"brilliant. " The film was directed
by Ivan Dixon, with Greenlee as copurchaser and co-writer (with
Melvin Clay).
When the book was first
published in England, it received
the 1969 Book of the Year awards of
the "Times of London " and "London Telegraph." Grennlee notes.
that the book was rejected by 28
American publishers before a
small publishing house in England
took the chance.
Greenlee says that many major
American newspapers failed to
review the book. In print, Judith
Crist, as well as many other
reviewer/critics, called it
"irresponsbile. " But , says
Greenlee, "Irresponsible ! What

The Huskies kept the margin
close in the first half with tough
defense , only giving up the outside
shot. They were within three at the
half , 28-25.
Bloomsburg decided to come out
pressuring East Strousdburg in the
second half , but East Stroudsburg
broke the pressure and steadily
widened the gap for the rest of the
game. Jean Millen, the NCAA
Division ll's top rebounder, led
Bloomsburg with 15 points and 18
rebounds. Junior, Sarah Hackforth, made 5 goals from the field
and converted 2 of 3 free throws for
12 points.

smooth almost coasting play, has awakened BU' s inside game.
Flanagan's speed has also made the Huskies pressure defense more effective, which has resulted in an increase of easy baskets.
The second point centers around the emergence of freshman Jerome
Brisbon at point guard. A former Philadelphia Public League first
teamer, Brisbon was Chronister 's final choice to fill the shoes of now
assistant coach Terry Conrad. The first two, Todd McLaughlin, was has
since quit the team over lack of playing time, and Greg Johnston never
seemed to take control of the position.
Brisbon, on the otherhand, has been a defensive terror and effective offensive catalyst. Given free reign to attack the ball, the 5-10 guard has
recorded four steals in each of the Huskies last two games. Offensively,
his long jumpers have provided BU with a much needed complement to
Francisco.
Currently in third place with a 4-2 log, the team is still very much in the
middle of a conference race that no one has taken over. With upcoming
games with first place Cheyney, and second place Mansfield a continuation of improvement will be a must if BU hopes to make yet another
appearance in the playoffs.

Huskies 9 Schizophrenia
May Be Disappeari ng
WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Will the real Bloomsburg University basketball team please stand up?
Is it contestant number one, the team that returned seven of its top
eight players from the 1983 Eastern Regional champs, including AilAmerican candidate Barry Francisco and ECAC Co-Rookie of the Year
Glenn Noack. A team that was ranked 18th in one preseason poll and was
the favorite to win the conference.
Or is it contestent number two. A Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde - type team that,
in its first meeting, lost on a buzzer beater to sixth ranked Phila. Textile,
then got blown away by 25 in the next meeting. A team that is 5-1 at home
but an inept 1-8on the road. One that plays good enough to be competitive,
not well enough to win, as evidence by their four one point losses.
So far the choice has been team number two, but due to two different occurences BU's schizophrenia may be disappearing. The Huskies last two
outings were very encouraging and close to what the team was expected
to look like.
Ironically, the first happening was the last thing Coach Charlie
Chronister would hope for : an injury to the talented Noack. The abscence
of their starting f orward"has somehow pushed the Huskies over the hump
bet ween winning and losing.
Two players have benefitted from Noack's injury. Captain Barry Francisco who was already BU's top scorer with le.lgame, has simply been
dominating in recent contests, averaging 25 points a game. Not only has
he been the Huskies offense, the 6-3leaper is asserting the leadership that
was absent early in the year.
As Noack's replacement, Pat Flanagan was moved to a starting role
Hisphysical, aggressive style, which stands in mark contrast to Noack's
continuedon page7
MARTY HASENFUSS
Sports Writer
Simply put , Barry Francisco was
super. In addition to providing
leadership, the 6-3 senior poured in
27 points , as Bloomsburg University won its second straight game,
beating East Stroudsburg 60-53,
Wednesday night , in Nelson
Fieldhouse.
"Barry carried us the first 30
minutes, and we were smart
enough to be patient and get the
ball to him in the second half ," added Husky mentor , Charlie
Chronister, on the performance of
his captain.
However, when Francisco fouled
out with 2:38 to play, in stepped
freshman guard, Jerome Brisbon
led the Huskies with some key
baskets and two key free throws
down the wire to help the Huskies
register their 44th conference win
(4-2) and 7th overall (7-9).
"Jerome scored several key
points in the second half for being a
freshman ( playing ) with a lot of
responsibility," commented Coach
Chronister.
Along with the offensive punch
added by Francisco and Brisbon
(43 points), the Huskies did an excellent job controlling the
Warriors ' leading scorer and
catalyst, Earle Greer. Greer was a
one man wrecking crew in the
tory over ESU, in which he scored
32 points. "When w^ weren 't
scoring points, we were controlling
Greer. Overall, we did a good job
on him," stated Chronister.
The Huskies built up an early 10
point lead, but once again could not
deliver the knockout punch to the
Warriors, as they saw their lead
diminish to 4 points , 26-22 at halftime.
The Warriors then came out hot
and took the lead for the only time
in the game at 32-31 before the
Huskies went oh a roll of 12points.
Not to be overshadowed by Barry
Francisco and Jerome Brisbon,
were the fine performers of the
remaining 3 starters Pat Flanagan,
Wes Wright, and Shane Planutis. ¦
East Stroudsburg was led by
Earle Greer with 20 points. Teammate Eric Smith added 12 points
for the Warriors. Kelvin Healy also
chipped in 10.
BU returns to action this evening
at Lock Haven. Their next conference battle is against division
rival Cheyney, 8:00 p.m., at Nelson
Fieldhouse. The Huskies are
currently one game behind 1st
place Cheyney.

The Bloomsbuxg Women 's

win Saturday against Susquehanna, to a tough conference loss by an
overpowering team from East
Stroudsburg 67-44 last Monday
evening.
The Lady Huskies shot only 26.5

half , making nine M 34 shots. The
second half was even , worse,
shooting 23.1 percent , scoring nine

The Husky defense had to content
with a very hot Rose Mohl, 18points, who shot most of her points from
the 20 to 25 foot range. Once the
Huskies contained Mohl, they

Fi nal Exam
Worth 100% ?.
THERESA LOZETSKI

MARY MOHL
A handful of votes!, Yes—that's
all it took for Representative
Assembly to pass last year 's
alcohol policy.
Rep. assembly is a governance
body made up of several constituencies of students, faculty, and
administrators, the latter two
carrying the majority of the voting
power.
Controversial issues seemingly
travel "incognito" from Rep.
assembly to the" student body
where they become the law ! Unfortunately, BU's population shows
little interest until these proposed
policies become standing ones.
This Wed. at 3:00 p7m., Multi-,
purpose Room A, Rep. Assembly
will take action on one such controversial issue. Issue at hand :
Academic Examination Policy.
The current policy states that a
final exam shall be worth no less
than 20 percent and no more than 40
percent of the course grade.
The proposed policy is as
follows: In order to change the
requirement specifying that final
examinations shall be worth no less
than 20 percent nor more than 40
percent of the course grade, there
must be agreement for the change
by the faculty member (s) in
charge of the class, the majority of
the members of their academic
department, and the appropriate
College Dean.
If passed, this policy would allow
professors to weight a final
anywhere from 0-100 percent of the
total course grade.
According to Joanne Growney,
vice president of academic affairs.
"I don't know of any sensible
professor that would have a grade
weighing 100 percent, but I believe
that a professor, should have that
right to determine the distribution
of grading in a course."
As a student, you should be very
concerned about the consequences
of getting an "unsensible"
professor.
Granted, some classes warrant
having only one test to represent
knowledge and ability of the course
(speech, art). But in the past,
students in these classes were
usually allowed the privilege of
giving feedback on the testing
system used. This has proved to be
mutually beneficial to professors
and students.
As it stands now, the proposed
policy allows no room for student
input. Should student input be a
revision of this proposal?
The policy goes on to state: Except for abnormal circumstances,
the approval and . notification to
students should be made by the end
of the first week of classes.
Who and what constitutes an ABNORMAL
CIRCUMSTANCE?
What happens when notification of
a change in testing policy is given
after that "first week of classes ,"
the period in which students are so
kindly allowed to drop-add?
The intent of this article was not
to criticize the committee that
proposed this policy or Rep.
Assembly. Rather , we feel
obligated to keep this policy from
traveling "incognito."
While non-members of Rep.
Assembly do not have voting
power, they do have inputJ This
issue will either be passed, rejected, tabled or sent back to committee for. revision on Wed., 3:00
p.m. in Multi-purpose Room A.
Be there !
The unusually cold weather last week brought with it many unusual sights, such as car accidents,
people falling and the ice on this tree.

Editorial
OK folks, it's time to get off your butt and le.arn something this
semester. It may even affect your remaining years at Bloom. No, correction, it will affect your remaining years. Especially if you are a freshman, sophomore or junior .
Rep. Assembly does exit, and here 's what it has done and what it can
do:
Of course we're all aware of the present alcohol policy. After all, it does
take a bit of searching and a few phone calls to find a good party these
days. Do you know that this policy was decided on by Rep. Assembly?
This in only one of the more well known policies.
Now we're not saying Rep. Assembly can be good. It can work. It
should work. It's made up of students and f aculty, and they're supposed
to sit down and make decisions that are best for all of us.
So, enter the problem, or problems. s
First of all, and most importantly, there are eight student seats open on
Rep. Assmebly. What that means, is that the student population is not
fully represented at Rep. Assembly. Now that may not seem like a big
deal, but consider the alternatives.
At the moment, Wednesday to be exact, Rep. Assembly will be taking
on an "action" issue (that' s one that is either voted on, sent back to a
committee, or tabled) . The issue is exams. The faculty want the freedom
to make decisions about tests that they give. With the proposal they have
made, the bottom line say that a teacher can choose to give a class one
test a semester - a final. That's your grade. You pass it or you fail it. It all
comes down to one test. Do you want your whole semester grade based on
one test?
Also to be discussed on Wednesday is a "discussion" item dealing with
a proposed plus and minus system of grading. The issue has been floating
around this campus for about four years now and has been seriously been
discussed for two. Supposedly, they will be deciding on this issue within a
few weeks. Don't you think students should have a say in what happens
concerning something as important as our grades?
Another item of interest that has been discussed is the possibility of the
faculty separating from the students. One of the main reasons is that for
some unknown reason, Rep. Assembly isn't functioning to par.
One student, who is on Rep. Assembly, says she had been a member for
one semester, and has only been to three meetings - that's all there has
been. Not only are new members not introduced to the activities of the
Assembly, but their responsibilities are never explained to them. It is up
to them to either find out on their own, or attend enough meetings to
figure everything out. With so few meetings, it could be a problem.
Another downfall of the Assembly is that "gentlemen sometimes forget
to act like gentlemen" when they are trying to get something done or
something said. The session often ends in a shouting match between two
opposing sides.
*
Some faculty feel that since they are not too actively involved in Community Government Association (CGA) they should let the students have
their CGA and let faculty have their own group. They forget one small difference. CGA is students , elected by students, making decisions for
students. If the faculty were to go their separate way, they would be
making decisions for students - with no student input or feedback.
What Rep. Assembly needs is participation - without it, it can not function. Presently, the group has about a 50. attendance rate at every
meeting. Maybe that's why there are so many problems.
But let's not give up without being represented, or not having a vote.
The spaces that are open include 2 from Elwell, 2 from Luzurne, 1from
Montour, 2 from North, and 1commuter. If you live in any Of these places,
think about representing your fellow students. No, do more than think do
it! Even if you don't live in one of these places, show up anyway, have
something to say !

Assembly; has more info on how to become a member. You must have at
least a 2.0 and not be on academic probation. Contact her at the CGA office today!!

Dear Editor,
College is supposed to be a collection of the best times of your life.
However, this year those moments
have been few and far between.
One reason for this is the declining
qualities of nightlife off campus.
Before this academic year, you
didn't have to be paranoid about
throwing a party. No fights erupted
if someone who was not acquainted
with the party 's hosts was denied
entry. This year these hosts have to
have, in their possession, a lead
pipe to discourage crashers. Is this
supposed to be a good time? I think
not. Not letting people in parties, or
not giving them parties to go to and
release their anxieties and tensions
through positive social interaction,
could in itself cause unacceptable
social behavior.
Time was when parties were
abundent. We associated this with
college, a good time, and learning
responsible social drinking habits.
Most people are not driving after a
college party. Let's not forget that
many campus sell beer and allow
the consumption of alcohol. If the
crime rate would raise drastically
because of this I'm sure it would
not continue to exist. Why go back
to the conservative days? Is Big
Brother telling us we shouldn't
learn how to drink until we
gradaute and have . to drive
somewhere in order tfc do it? '
by Berke Breathed
This topic of partying brings us to
the Bloomsburg bars. Hess' has
joined Lemon's in introducing dancing to their enviornment. A good
idea. That novelty has worn off after hearing "Born to be Alive",
"Shout" , "New York, New York",
and "Cum on Feel the Noize"every
Wednesday and Thursday in Hess'.
I became so tired of hearing the
same songs every week, that I
begged the DJ to play a dance tune
near the top of the charts. He said,
"Hey, I worked here for three months, I know what people like." Why
don't they just save their money
and make a tape to play over and
over again.
Lemons' was different. I found
new people and DJs who are up to
date with the latest dance tunes.
Unfortunately Lemons' sufferd fire
damage. I guess I'll have to bide
my time at Musique for the Intelligensia.

disco, and archaic DJ's

Last Monday at the Student
Senate's first meeting of the

The purchase made in conjunction with the basketball and

In other business, CGA decided
to support the building of a Huskie

Ex-spy and controversial author
Peter James is often referred to as
an "American James Bond."
Espionage, corruption , conspiracies, and cover-ups, all the
elements that make a Bond film so
exciting, James has experienced
himself. However, his story is for
real.
James is a 1962 physics graduate
of Case-Western Reserve University and author of two books : Soviet
Conquests From Space and Air
Force Mafia. He is now working on
a third.
Although he travels approximately 100,000 miles annually
and is home two months a year (not
consecutively) the 43 year old lecturer calls Jamestown, N.Y. home.
For 10 years he was a rocket
engineer for Pratt & Whitney and
the company 's foreign technology
expert in its West Palm Beach
facility. He became heavily involved with both the CIA and Air
Force Intelligence as he traveled
extensively in Europe and South
America attening scientific conferences.
James gave an account of how he
became involved: "the Chief of

Controversial Author to Address Students
The author of a book and movie
that the "New York Times" called
"racist and senseless," and the
"Chicago Daily News" called "one
of the most important films of
1973," will be at Bloomsburg
University, Feb. 1-2. His visit is
sponsored by the Program in Journalism and the Human Relations
Committee.
Sam Greenlee, author of "The
Spook Who Sat By The Door, " will
discuss the book and movie, 8:30
p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 1, in the
Presidents Lounge of Kehr Union.
The 105-minute feature film ,
released by United Artists, will be
shown at 6:30 p.m., prior to the

disapprove of what those cats are
saying?"
Gene Shalit called the book
"wrong-headed and hate-filled,"
while the "L.A. Times," long after
the book's premiere in America,
called it "frightening ."
Greenlee's story is about the attempts of a cynical and ambitious
U.S. senator who tries to capture
the "Negro Vote" by accusing the
CIA of discriminatory hiring practices. The result is that the CIA
recruits and trains in elite corps of
Blacks , but only one, Dan
Freeman, survives the training.
After five years, he leaves the CIA
and returns to Chicago to organize
a terrorist army known as the
Black Freedom Fighters.Their army creates civil rights insurrections in major American
cities.
Greenlee
says
that
"traditionally , you get a
protagonist who tries to triumph
over all, and by the end of the book,
he has either been destroyed by the
system, or he has learned belatedly
that, his efforts not/withstanding,
he can^t overcome racism. I
decided to go one step beyond that.
I would deal with a man who had
already reached that decision and
deal with what alternative he
might take. That makes a new
departure in Black fiction, and I
think some people find it Offensive."
The book is both a satire on the
civil rights problems in the U.S., as
well as a serious attempt to focus
upon the issue of Black militancy.
The author says that , "I consider
the book to be a study of the
revolutionary character in general,
and the farcial nature of racial integration in the U.S. in particular.
It is the story of one ghetto black
to the
man ' s reaction
bourgeoisite."
Greenlee graduated from the
University of Wisconsin, with a
degree in political science, and did
graduate work in international
relations at the University of
Chicago. Among his duty assignments with the USIA were posts in
Iraq, East Pakistan, Indonesia,
and Greece. In 1958, he received
the USIA Meritorious Service
Award. He resigned from the USIA
in 1965 to devote fulltime to his
writing, and in the next three years
wrote three novels, a three-act
play, and five short stories. During
the next few years, several of his
poetry books have met with critical
acclaim.

Greenlee, who spent eight years
as a foreign service officer with the
US Information Agency will also be
a guest at Millville High School and
in Dr. Walter Brasch's journalism
classes on Thursday.
The book sold more than a halfmillion copies, and was condemned
as "racist" and praised as
"brilliant. " The film was directed
by Ivan Dixon, with Greenlee as copurchaser and co-writer (with
Melvin Clay).
When the book was first
published in England, it received
the 1969 Book of the Year awards of
the "Times of London " and "London Telegraph." Grennlee notes.
that the book was rejected by 28
American publishers before a
small publishing house in England
took the chance.
Greenlee says that many major
American newspapers failed to
review the book. In print, Judith
Crist, as well as many other
reviewer/critics, called it
"irresponsbile. " But , says
Greenlee, "Irresponsible ! What
does that mean to me? Am I supposed to be responsible for the
White establishment? And if I do
something that displeases a White
critic, does that make me irresponsible? Can you imagine anyone
calling Norman Mailer or Philip

Flanagan's speed has also made the Huskies pressure defense more effective, which has resulted in an increase of easy baskets.
The second point centers around the emergence of freshman Jerome
Brisbon at point guard. A former Philadelphia Public League first
teamer, Brisbon was Chronister 's final choice to fill the shoes of now
assistant coach Terry Conrad. The first two, Todd McLaughlin, was has
since quit the team over lack of playing time, and Greg Johnston never
seemed to take control of the position.
Brisbon, on the otherhand, has been a defensive terror and effective offensive catalyst. Given free reign to attack the ball, the 5-10 guard has
recorded four steals in each of the Huskies last two games. Offensively,
his long jumpers have provided BU with a much needed complement to
Francisco.
Currently in third place with a 4-2 log, the team is still very much in the
middle of a conference race that no one has taken over. With upcoming
games with first place Cheyney, and second place Mansfield a continuation of improvement will be a must if BU hopes to make yet another

Huskies 9 Schizophrenia

WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Will the real Bloomsburg University basketball team please stand up?
Is it contestant number one, the team that returned seven of its top
eight players from the 1983 Eastern Regional champs, including AilAmerican candidate Barry Francisco and ECAC Co-Rookie of the Year
Glenn Noack. A team that was ranked 18th in one preseason poll and was
the favorite to win the conference.
Or is it contestent number two. A Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde - type team that,
in its first meeting, lost on a buzzer beater to sixth ranked Phila. Textile,
then got blown away by 25 in the next meeting. A team that is 5-1 at home
but an inept 1-8on the road. One that plays good enough to be competitive,
not well enough to win, as evidence by their four one point losses.
So far the choice has been team number two, but due to two different occurences BU's schizophrenia may be disappearing. The Huskies last two
outings were very encouraging and close to what the team was expected
to look like.
Ironically, the first happening was the last thing Coach Charlie
Chronister would hope for : an injury to the talented Noack. The abscence
of their starting f orward"has somehow pushed the Huskies over the hump
bet ween winning and losing.
Two players have benefitted from Noack's injury. Captain Barry Francisco who was already BU's top scorer with le.lgame, has simply been
dominating in recent contests, averaging 25 points a game. Not only has
he been the Huskies offense, the 6-3leaper is asserting the leadership that
was absent early in the year.
As Noack's replacement, Pat Flanagan was moved to a starting role
Hisphysical, aggressive style, which stands in mark contrast to Noack's

Simply put , Barry Francisco was
super. In addition to providing
leadership, the 6-3 senior poured in
27 points , as Bloomsburg University won its second straight game,
beating East Stroudsburg 60-53,
Wednesday night , in Nelson
Fieldhouse.
"Barry carried us the first 30
minutes, and we were smart
enough to be patient and get the
ball to him in the second half ," added Husky mentor , Charlie
Chronister, on the performance of
his captain.
However, when Francisco fouled
out with 2:38 to play, in stepped
freshman guard, Jerome Brisbon
led the Huskies with some key
baskets and two key free throws
down the wire to help the Huskies
register their 44th conference win
(4-2) and 7th overall (7-9).
"Jerome scored several key
points in the second half for being a
freshman ( playing ) with a lot of
responsibility," commented Coach
Chronister.
Along with the offensive punch
added by Francisco and Brisbon
(43 points), the Huskies did an excellent job controlling the
Warriors ' leading scorer and
catalyst, Earle Greer. Greer was a
one man wrecking crew in the
tory over ESU, in which he scored
32 points. "When w^ weren 't
scoring points, we were controlling
Greer. Overall, we did a good job
on him," stated Chronister.
The Huskies built up an early 10
point lead, but once again could not
deliver the knockout punch to the
Warriors, as they saw their lead
diminish to 4 points , 26-22 at halftime.
The Warriors then came out hot
and took the lead for the only time
in the game at 32-31 before the
Huskies went oh a roll of 12points.
Not to be overshadowed by Barry
Francisco and Jerome Brisbon,
were the fine performers of the
remaining 3 starters Pat Flanagan,
Wes Wright, and Shane Planutis. ¦
East Stroudsburg was led by
Earle Greer with 20 points. Teammate Eric Smith added 12 points
for the Warriors. Kelvin Healy also
chipped in 10.
BU returns to action this evening
at Lock Haven. Their next conference battle is against division
rival Cheyney, 8:00 p.m., at Nelson
Fieldhouse. The Huskies are
currently one game behind 1st
place Cheyney.

The Bloomsbuxg Women 's
basketball team came off a strong
win Saturday against Susquehanna, to a tough conference loss by an
overpowering team from East
Stroudsburg 67-44 last Monday
evening.
The Lady Huskies shot only 26.5
percent from the floor in the first
half , making nine M 34 shots. The
second half was even , worse,
shooting 23.1 percent , scoring nine
of 39.
The Husky defense had to content
with a very hot Rose Mohl, 18points, who shot most of her points from
the 20 to 25 foot range. Once the
Huskies contained Mohl, they
failed to control Sue Richards, 21
points, on the inside. Janice
