Lightstreet Overpass
Needs Support
KELLIE STUMP
Staff Writer
At 7:45 p.m. Oct. 31, 1976,a 20year-old college student was hit by
a car while trying to cross Lightstreet. "Julie was going across the
street with her laundry. It was
dusk, and she apparently wasn't
seen by the oncoming car in time
for it to stop, and she just couldn't
move fast enough to get out of the
way. She had head injuries and was
taken to Geisinger." The memories
of that early Halloween evening
come floating back to 1977 BSC
graduate, LeeAnn Stump. "In fact,
they told us that she wasn't supposed to live through the night". But
she did, although it took her a long
time to recover."
Right after , the accident, Bloom sburg students demonstrated on
either side of Lightstreet with
picket signs demanding that an
overpass be built. CGA formed a
committee for the overpass, and a
petition, signed by over 1,200
students, was obtained. The results
were that the crosswalk was
repainted on the road surface, and
a flashing light was eventually
strung across Lightstreet Road.
But as one can see, no overpass
spans Lightstreet. Not that it had
never been thought of before the
accident. In fact , as early as 1966, a
proposal for an overpass was added to the budget's requests.- At
that time, the covered overpass
was to span from the back of Haas
auditorium to the intersection of
Honeysuckle Lane and Country
Club Drive. (Several residence
halls had been planned to be built
on the "Upper Campus").
However, the proposal was rejected by the Department' of
Education. The overpass was
pushed into the background , and
the residence halls were built on
the lower campus.
The overpass idea was not
strongly brought up again , until
1976, when Julie Gaumer was
struck. This time the students got
involved, and they almost got their
wish. Unfortunately, the problem
with building the overpass was
money. Even though federal funding of 70 percent was approved for
the construction of an overpass
near the intersection of Penn St.
and Lightstreet Road, the other 30
percent needed could not be found.
Graudally, the demonstrators put
down their picket signs and forgot
about the overpass. Seven years
have passed since.
Now talk of an overpass has been
renewed. There is a covered overpass already built in Williamsport,
PA. that has recently been purchased by the Stopper Co. According to Donald McColloch, head
of campus maintenance, the Stopper Co. is willing to tear down a 94
foot section of this overpass, transport it to Bloomsburg, put it up,
add the ramps and do all the electrical work all for the amount of
$107,000. "If we were to build this
thing ourselves, it would be four or
five times that amount," said McColloch. PennDOT has approved
clearance for the move and said
that the overpass meets all height
regulations.
"The only thing stopping us is
that there isn't enough money,
complains McColloch. Once again
a much needed overpass is put on
hold because of lack of funds. So
far , the Dept. of Education has
been willing to spare half of the
costs, if the other half can be
raised. "There j ust isn't enough
money in the budget to provide all
the funds. " explains McColloch.
PennDOT was then asked to
provide funds, but its budget is too
tight. Next the CGA was . approached. They offered $20,000.
McColloch was hoping for more
(the other $50,000, in fact). As it is,
the proposition by the Stopper Co.
is limited, and time is running out.
Will the overpass ever be built?
"I don 't see how this college has
survived without one for so long
without having anymore serious
accidents," sums up LeeAnn
Stump, "As a former resident of
(Continued on Page 3)
Harrison Morrsort an alumnus of BU, 1959, spoke to an audience about survival techniques specially
geared toward minority students inhigher education. The five survival techniques stressed were:
students should 1.) be informed; 2.) maximize availability of resources; 3.) set priorities; 4.) get involved; and 5.) enjoy.
Stress Survey To
Circulate On Campus
Plans are currently being made to distribute a survey throuhgout campus on stress and stress-related behaviors..The Counseling Center is
sponsoring the project organized by Shell Lundall, a counselor at the center, and Mary Ann Jasper, a sociology research student .
The survey is designed to identify academic, personal and social
situations which students may percieve as highly stressful. We are interested in targeting groups on campus who may be particularly
vulnerable to high levels of stress, such as non-traditional or foreign
students. Also important is an assessment of the different ways s dents
may deal with stress, and the identification of sources of support, both on
and off campus, which students may seek out when stressed.
Several classes were selected at random to participate in the study.
Professors teaching the selected classes have been asked to take a few
minutes of their class time to have students fill out the questionnaire1. Information from this study will be used by the Counseling Center to assess
current student needs and will help in the development and planning of
future programs to be sponsored by the center.
Anyone wishing further information on this project may contact Shell
Lundall at the Counseling Center.
Richard Traylor a sociology major doing his internship at the counseling is also involved in the project and may be administering
questionaires. . . ^

TV...
Public
Threatened or Threatening
MIKE DILLON
Tuning into a public television station during a pledge drive is like accidently stumbling into an Irish wake. For two weeks the television
station which prides itself on its dignity breaks down into a whining,
lamenting, begging, oath swearing wreck. The hosts of these pledge
drives shout out grim rumors of the death of public television, but later,
after the pledges are all in, they inform us that these rumors have been
greatly exaggerated ; The fund raising techniques of public television
stations are usually annoying and sometimes intolerable, but they work.
There is a definite formula to public television fund raising: tease
viewers with what is most important to them, and then jerk them out of
their Barcaloungers with threats and accusations. This tactic resembles
the "good cop - bad cop" routine. First, the "nice" announcer sets us up
with a heartfeld request for patience: "We'll be getting to 'Watch on the
Weather' in just a few minutes. If you enjoy this program please call and
pledge your support." Then, the pitch is turned over to the "nasty" announcer : "So, you've tuned in to see 'Watch on the Weather?' Well maybe
we don't feel like shov/ing it tonight. Maybe your penny-pinching apathy
has made it impossible for us to purchase this program. Maybe you don't
deserve to have a public television station. Maybe you are not worthy
enough to lick the boots of these fine telephone volunteers who are sitting
here wasting their time in front of silent telephones. You make us sick.
Pick up that phone and pledge nibney dammit, or so help us God...."
Despite the gloomy theatrics of our pledge drive tour guides public
television continues to thrive, and grows bigger and more brazen every
year. More incredible than the lengths to which these stations will go to
raise money is the fact that other non-profit groups have not adopted the
same strategies for finanaical success. The possibilities, for say, the local
fire department are endless :
Announcer A: "We're here at the home of Elroy Cudd, where volunteer
firemen are putting out this tragic, unfortunate fire. ''
The camera zooms in on the grieving Cudd, but suddenly the firemen
drop their hoses as the announcer informs us that there will be a short intermission.
Anouncer B: "Tell us that you don't want your house saved when it catches on fire. Tell us that you want your house and all of its memories to
burn to the ground. That's what your're telling us when you don't pledge
money to your local fire department (close-up shot of Cudd weeping).
We'll get back to this exciting blaze as soon as we reach our
goal for this evening of *1,000., your volunteer firemen are manning the
phones right now. "
Actually, other non-profit groups do use emotional appeals to solicit
funds, but none are as brutally blunt as public television. Perhaps there is
no other way to run "member supported, member sponsored" public
television, and viewers do have the option of tuning out if the strong arm
tactics of the hosts become unbearable. It's even possible that a good
degrading guilt trip is healthy therapy fori the usually contented, sedentary television viewer.
Indeed, for better or worse public television pledge drives are among
the few events on television which stimulate viewers to action, even if
that action is leaping up and turning the set off .

Tell It Like It Is
Dear Editor,
When news is reported, it should
be accurate and factual. It seems
there was a problem with the
Voice's article of Wednesday,February 29 on page 5 entitled
'"Strip"Proves Literal'.
To begin, I don't claim to be an
authority on news reporting, but I
do know my music. I read this article and felt as if the writer could
not have possibly attended this concert. I was in the front row and took
considerable notice to what was
happening at all times. The article
made six statements which were
incorrect. The first is that ) the
Romantics did not open up with
"Rock Me Up", they began with
"When I Look In Your Eyes" from
a previous album. The second is
that there was not a 15 minutes
break at intermission. It was approximately 30 minutes, as I can
quite well remember, seeing as I
was in a sober state, unlike many of
the other concert-goers. Ant did hot
remove pieces of his wardrobe
before every song - it was only a
handful of songs. If he had done
that, well I don't know what the
audience would have done! Also,
by his last number he was not in his
leather pants and top. He had
already taken his shirt off and
various belts and accessories. The
song entitled "Desperate But Not
Serious" is not from the "Strip"
album. It is from the album
"Friend or Foe". For my final
correction, Ant did not appear in
brief leather shorts, they were simply, black , athletic shorts with an
"A" on the left leg. And for the
stockings - they were black leg
warmers.
After reading this article, I
discussed it with a number of
students who were at the concert
and who alse read the article. They
were disturbed of the inaccurate
reporting of the vents of the concert
as I was. Like I said, I'm no
authority, but the reporters should
take the responsibility and the time
to get the story straight. If this is
going to be your future career, the
next time, PLEASE TELL IT
LIKE IT IS!

"Under The Bright Lights "

He is no stranger to the stage.
Under the bright lights is where he
is most at home. The penetrating
heat lamps are his friends ; the
audience his family. His entire
musical fantasy comes to life as the
world's eyes widen and become
fixed. This, is certainly an experience which dangles on the
hinges of reality. He is Scurvy band
member Chris Lackey and his fantasy-turned'reality is itself the
unique art of "airbanding. "
It all began back in the days
when music posed an invitation to
the listener. An invitation which encouraged the listener to participate
in the-music by tapping his toes,
clapping his hands , or dancing the
night away. Chris Lackey has accepted the invitation and has taken
it one step further in what he calls
"airbanding."
According to Lackey, "Airbanding is the visual replication of
music on stage by a group of individuals whose unltimate fantasy
is to produce a show with the same
intensity and likeness as that
produced by the original group."
Put simply, it is the acting out of intense feelings of creativity and fantasy in the form of a pseudo-rock

concert. The members involved
choreograph movements to the
music which is prerecorded and
played simultaneously with the
visual performance. These two
elements become interwoven into
one vibrant spectacle of color, life,
and realism.
Apparently this fantasyfullfilling behavior was not of the
"whim or fancy" nature. "On the
contrary." says Chris jokingly, "I
began stroking away on spoons at
the tendor age of two. It's actually
something I've enjoyed doing
privately since junior high." Occassional^ time spent with friends
included nothing more than a few
hours in the attic, practicing jumps
off an old box spring mattress with
the stereo volume past concert
level.
"My interests in immitating bands continued through high school
and it wasn't until my senior year
that my career really caught fire. "
Chris and three friends had joined
forces and adopted the name Scurvy. Apparently there was no real
physical connection between the
band and it's name but was simply
chosen on the basis of attractability. During the course of
his senior year, Chris and his band
performed at two school talent
shows, competed for prizes at
various area clubs and night spots ,
and entertained a busy crowd at a
hospital carnival.
When asked why he does this
thing called airbanding, Chris said ,
"I wish I could play in a real band
with real music that I've created ,
but I can't so I do the next best
thing."
This new way of experiencing
music would seem as though it
were a slap in the face, making a
mockery of those who actually
create music for a living. '"This is
by no means a slap in the face of entertainers. What we do is very
^
serious - at least from our standpoint. Our main objective is to have
fun, but if people are going to take
the time to see us; we want to make
sure it's as worth while for them as
it is for us." Chris continued, "Sure
this is all fantasy but we want the
audience to take us seriously . You
might say that's impossible but we
don't happen to hold that belief. By
stressing authenticity, and increasing the standards of our
presentations, we can make things
appear as they should."
As for the groups that get up on
stage and jump around like wild
boars in heat, Chris remarked,
"That's not what airbanding is all
about. Sure they're having a great
time but they're not serious about
what it is they're doing. They can't
be."
Scurvy has been wellrepresented in all four of B.U.P.'s
"Battle of the Air Bands", taking
first place two times. They have
become somewhat of a legend since
their original start four and a half
years ago. As in anything, no one
likes a successive winner. "Our
competition has been better in the
last year and it seems everyone is
out to beat Scurvy." Chris says kiddingly, "Now we know how the
Dallas Cowboys feel."

Vegetarian Satire
Dinner At Daphne 's
KATHLEEN BARTUNEK
Staff Writer
. I was sitting in the Union, leafing
through my History book when my
old pal Jack Thompson sat next to
me. He had a mischievous grin on
his face, so I knew he wanted
something.
"Hi Kath, old buddy, how'd you
like to do me a big favor? "
"It depends."
"You remember my girlfriend
Daphne don't you?''
"How could I forget ."
"Well, Daphne wants to get to
know you better and she asked me
to invite you over to dinner tonight.
Just you two girls, I'm sure you'll
like her more once you get to know
her."
"Dinner with Daphne !, how
quaint. "
"Don't be snotty. She worked all
day on this - won't you go? "
"On one condition : Explain to me
how a man of your intelligence can
be so taken with a girl with the
mentality of a woodchuck."
"I like you don't I?"
"I may not be a genius, but at
least MY I.Q. exceeds my brasize"
Jack chuckled, "That's not
saying much dear."
"Cute. Real cute. All I'm saying
is-
"Kath, please, just go to dinner..."
my horror I stared into a bowlful of
slimy herbaceous matter ,
reminiscent of something my dog
once did on the carpet.
"It's a health salad," Daphne
said proudly. "I'm a vega, a
vega...um, I don't eat animal flesh.
Go ahead, try it." I am not what
you 'd call a "vegie" person. I am
the kind of individual who likes
steak so rare it still "moo's", I explained as tactfully as possible that
I like to know what I'm eating
before I commit myself to it. "Then
I'll explain," said Daphne cheerfully. "See, the hard stuff is lettuce,
watercrest , forsythia roots ,
crushed apricot pits, mango peels,
meat or prune, tofu, raw antichokes, and Kath, are you feeling
alright? You look kind of green.''
"It's the wine." I lied.

MANSFIELD
The Huskies twelve game win
streak, PC title hopes, automatic
NCAA tourney berth, and possibly,
the marvelous career of Francisco
all came to an end when Mansfield
(25-5) outmuscled BU 61-54 in a
rough, back and forth championships game. It marked the
fourth consecutive BU appearance
in the final and first time since 1975
that the Mounties had made it.
The tone of the game was set in
the opening seconds, when MU hit a
long range jumper then fell back
into an aggresive man defense that
caused the Husky offense major
problems. On the otherhand, BU
despite playing well never seemed
to be able to find the flow. Perhaps
it was due to the lateness of the
emotionally draining semifinal
game which didn't finish until afer
11 p.m., while MU, defeated
Clarion 59-47 in the, afternoon
semifinal.
MU built the biggest lead in the
game 18-12 on some fine outside
shooting by Chris Venning. And
when Venning wasn't shooting, the
physical Mounties frontline of Carl
Walker , Nelson Tuitj ;, and Gerald
conyers banged the boards.
The Huskies battled back with
four points from Wright (a 17 footer
and two free throws) and a pretty
alleyoop layup by Brisbon form a
Francisco feed to tie the game at
18. After a timeout, BU put
together their best streak of the
, .= .. . . ., ,.. =. — . *.: . . - .-<
game. .*
A Noack nailed a 15 footer off a
fast break was sandwiched between two Francisco bombs for a 2824 lead. Flanagan added a bucket
from the wing for six point margin
with less than two minutes left.
Francisco (10 first half points )
hit two fouls then left the game to
avoid foul trouble. The Huskies
went to a four corners delay for the
final minute two and left the first
half leading 32-29.
The Mounties came out hot to
open up the final stanza. After a
Francisco 18 footer, MU got
buckets from three different
players to claim a 35-34 advantage.
They stretched it to 45-40 on a Craig
Cooley jumper before BU coach
Chronister could get a tiemout at
11:07.
BU managed to get back within a
point on two occabions but failed to
convert opportunities for the lead.
First Flanagan missed the foul shot
on a three point play then Francisco and Brisbon missed the mark
on jumpers.
The lone Husky that didn 't seem
to lose his scoring touch was Noack
who hit two shots to keep BU within
three 57-54 with under a minute to
play. BU was forced to foul as the
Mounties spread the court. They
put Walker on the line both times
but the senior forward hit all four
free throws to ice the game.
NOTES: BU's Francisco and
Wright were both named AllTourney along with Mansfield's
Craig Cooley, Gerald Conyers, arid
MVP Nelson Tuitt, and Kevin
Williams of Slippery Rock....The
loss snapped Chronister's 3 year
streak of 20 , or more wins and
NCAA-appearances.- . -~.-- .~ ~. . ---.

mftletss of the Week
Despite not winning the championship game at last weekend's
Pennsylvania conference Championships, the men's basketball
had a typically successful, though
unusual, season that Bloomsburg is
known for. Few people even gave
them half a chance to rebound from
a| disasterous 5-9 start let alone
come within one game of a fourth
straight NCAA tourney appearance. It is for their preserverance and great play that the
Husky basketball team is "The
Athletes of the Week."
As they were all season long, the
Huskies were led by senior captain
Barry Francisco. The 6-3 guard
was named to the All:Tourney
team for his •_ three game performance of 47 points, 14 rebounds,
5 blocked shots.
6-8 center, Wes Wright turned in
the Huskies second All-Tourney effort with three of his finest games
of his career. Scoring 37 points in
the playoffs, Wright was a major
reason the team held off a Slippery
Rock comeback in the semifinals.
Just a 68 percent foul shooter, he
made 15 of 17 during the tourney, to
go along with 23 boards.
Superb defense by soph , forward
Pat Flanagan held highscoring
Kevin Givens to just...6..first.half
points in the West Chester game, in
addition to scoring 9 points. Fellow
soph. Shane Planutis added 25 points with his corner jumper to take up
some of the scoring slack.
Glenn Noack poured in 35 points
and helped break a series of
presses that were deployed against
the team throughout the team. In
the Slippery Rock game, Noack
played a key role while four of his
teammates were plagued with
fouls.
Point guard Jerome Brisbon
displayed maturity usually not
epected from a freshman in not
only handling the presses but
bucketing 37 markers and continually pestering the opposition
defensely.
Of the reserves , Cas Kosciolek
topped the list with a 9 point effort
against the Rock , most in pressure
situations. Greg Johnston was
called upon late in the semifinal
game to handle the ball after
Brisbon fouled out against a furious
press. While Bob McCullough
provided Wright with a breather
and filled in adequately in the
pivot.
nsylvania Conference final game,
the Husky basketball team had a
quite successful , though unusual
season. It was a season that was
filled with high;expectations at the
beginning, niajor disappointments
and adversity in the middle, and a
great winning streak at the end.
Who would have thought that a
team without a leader and a 5-9
record would end with a, twelve
game winning streak and come
within a few points of winning the
conference crown?
Individually, the Huskies
featured the incredible Barry
Francisco in his final season, the
vastly improved play of Wes
Wright , Pat Flanagan, and Shane
Planutis , the continued fine play of
Glenn Noack , and the introduction
of Jerome Brisbon as BU's point
guard of the future.
Certainly the most entertaining,
if not best player, ever to wear a
Husky uniform, Francisco ended
his career in second place on BU's
all time leading scorers with 1482
points. In addition to being named
an unanimous choice on the conference's all-star team, he was
named to the PC's All-Tourney
team this season.
Most pleasing to watch was the
development of the pivot play of
Wright. One could see improvement almost game by game.
The 6-8 junior saved his best for
last as he joined Francisco on the
All-Tourney team. His play should
provide a big boost for next years
squad, being the lone senior.
The development of Flanagan
and Planutis since last season was
also quite noticeable. Flanagan
filled in admirably in Noack's absence and was the team's defensive
stopper on the inside. Planutis'
baseline jumper carried the team
at the start of the season when offense was a factor missing in most
BU games.
As for Noack , he seems ready to
take the lead for next season . A fine
passer as well as shooter , he broke
Planutis 's week old record, for consecutive free throws. A mark that
finally ended at the PC finals .
Quite honestly, without Brisbon
assuming control of the point guard
position , the Huskies probably
would not have had the season they
did. Not only did he provide all of
the offensive qualities but defensively he continuously turned in the
key play that got the team going.

Athlete of the Week

Huskies Fall To Mansfield in PC Final
WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Three streaks came to an end
Saturday afternoon when Mansfield defeated Bloomsburg in the
finals of the Pennsylvania Conference Championships. Most importantly, the Huskies' string of appearing in three straight NCAA
tournaments will end unless their
very slim wildcard hopes are
fulfilled. Coinciding with that are ,
Coach Charlie Chronister's three
straight 20 win campaigns. Thirdly, BU's current twelve game victory streak was snapped.
SLIPPERY ROCK
Playoff games sometime creates
heroes out of the unlikeliest of
players. Such was the case as the
Huskies held off a furious Slippery
Rock ( 16-11) surge to take a 86-80
victory in the semifinals of the Pennsylvania Conference Championships.
After melting down what was once a 22 point lead to just six points,
66-60, Slippery Rock appeared
ready to deliver the knockout punch to the Huskies, who were
without the services of a fouled out
Barry Francisco (18 points) . To
compound matters, three other BU
players were saddled with four
fouls : Wes Wright, Shane Planutis,
and Jerome Brisbon.
Enter Hero Number One: Cas
sleepy-eyed
Kosciolek , a
swingman, who is better known for
his exploits on the gridiron than for
his shooting touch. But it was that
touch that turned in eight points, including two big free throws in the
final minutes, that spearheaded the
victory.
Kosciolek got the opportunity to
play because four Husky starters
had four fouls, including Hero
Number Two, Wes Wright. The 6-8
Wright added eight of his 15 points
in the finals 4:41 despite playing
with four fouls. Included in those
points was a ' pair of free throws
with BU up 70-65 at the 4:08 mark.
A minute later, the bearded center
contributed a three point play to
push the margin back ten, 77-67.
After the first half ended, it
didn't look as though the Huskies
would need any heroes as they turned in a near flawless twenty
minutes of basketball to lead 39-21.
The teams traded baskets for the
opening eight minutes, then the
Huskies scored nine straight and 15
of 21 to streak to a 21-12 advantage.
Highlighting the spree was a spectacular Barry Francisco layup.
The 6-3 senior took a full court
pass on the break, trailed closely
by two Rock players. Instead of
going for what would have been a
contested dunk, Francisco took off
f rom two feet shielding the ball
with a 360 degree turn then banking
it home. The huge pro-Husky
Wes Wright and Barry Francisco closed in on Slippery Rock's Mike Spanitz
Pat Flanagan watches his shot after being fouled by Mansfield's Chris Venning.
throng went beserk forcing SR to
call a timeout.
The tiemout slowed the BU
momentum, letting the Rockets
close the gap to 23-19. But that
would be as close as they would get
until late in the game.
A Francisco 20-footer started a
BU string that saw them outscore
SR 16-2 in the final five minutes.
Wright added a followup, then
Noack nailed a jumper and
threaded an assist to Shane
Planutis that resulted in a three
point play.
BU was forced to run a four corners offense in the last 1:39 after
Francisco and Pat Flanagan joined
Wright on the bench with three
fouls. The play worked as Noack
canned two fouls to extend the lead
to 39-21.
The Huskies foul problems intensified twenty seconds into the
second half when Wright picked up
number four. Things got even worse two minutes later when the
whistle happy officials called back
to back fouls on Planutis (his third )
and Francisco (his fourth). The
latter
was
particularly
questionable as a charge was
called after Francisco caught an
over the shoulder pass and had no
place to land except on a Rock
player.
Despite BU's problems, SR could
not capitalize and fell even further
behind after Jerome Brisbon hit a
top of the key jumper to set the
score at 50-30. However, after
Planutis picked up his fourth, the
Rock came out in a full court press
that rattled the depleted Husky
squad. With only Brisbon and
Noack available to handle the ball
SR whittled the lead down to 56-44.
A BU turnover brought Francisco
and Flanagan back on the court but
even that failed to slow the momentum.
And when it seemed that nothing
else could go wrong, Noack saw his
school record of 33 straight free
throws snapped and Brisbon was
called for his fourth foul. With just
nine minutes left, Mike Spanitz
canned a pair of free throws to cut
the margin to 58-50:
Brisbon temporarily stopped the
Rockets' streak with a driving
layiip and two foul shots but SR's
huge forward Kevin Williams (6-6,
230) scored twice from short range,
before Brisbon hit a fast break
layup to set the stage for Kosciolek
and Wright's heroics.
NOTES: There were an un^

Lightstreet Overpass
Needs Support
KELLIE STUMP
Staff Writer
At 7:45 p.m. Oct. 31, 1976,a 20year-old college student was hit by
a car while trying to cross Lightstreet. "Julie was going across the
street with her laundry. It was
dusk, and she apparently wasn't
seen by the oncoming car in time
for it to stop, and she just couldn't
move fast enough to get out of the
way. She had head injuries and was
taken to Geisinger." The memories
of that early Halloween evening
come floating back to 1977 BSC
graduate, LeeAnn Stump. "In fact,
they told us that she wasn't supposed to live through the night". But
she did, although it took her a long
time to recover."
Right after , the accident, Bloom sburg students demonstrated on
either side of Lightstreet with
picket signs demanding that an
overpass be built. CGA formed a
committee for the overpass, and a
petition, signed by over 1,200
students, was obtained. The results
were that the crosswalk was
repainted on the road surface, and
a flashing light was eventually
strung across Lightstreet Road.
But as one can see, no overpass
spans Lightstreet. Not that it had
never been thought of before the
accident. In fact , as early as 1966, a
proposal for an overpass was added to the budget's requests.- At
that time, the covered overpass
was to span from the back of Haas
auditorium to the intersection of
Honeysuckle Lane and Country
Club Drive. (Several residence
halls had been planned to be built
on the "Upper Campus").
However, the proposal was rejected by the Department' of
Education. The overpass was
pushed into the background , and
the residence halls were built on
the lower campus.
The overpass idea was not
strongly brought up again , until
1976, when Julie Gaumer was
struck. This time the students got
involved, and they almost got their
wish. Unfortunately, the problem
with building the overpass was
money. Even though federal funding of 70 percent was approved for
the construction of an overpass
near the intersection of Penn St.
and Lightstreet Road, the other 30
percent needed could not be found.
Graudally, the demonstrators put
down their picket signs and forgot
about the overpass. Seven years
have passed since.
Now talk of an overpass has been
renewed. There is a covered overpass already built in Williamsport,
PA. that has recently been purchased by the Stopper Co. According to Donald McColloch, head
of campus maintenance, the Stopper Co. is willing to tear down a 94
foot section of this overpass, transport it to Bloomsburg, put it up,
add the ramps and do all the electrical work all for the amount of
$107,000. "If we were to build this
thing ourselves, it would be four or
five times that amount," said McColloch. PennDOT has approved
clearance for the move and said
that the overpass meets all height
regulations.
"The only thing stopping us is
that there isn't enough money,
complains McColloch. Once again
a much needed overpass is put on
hold because of lack of funds. So
far , the Dept. of Education has
been willing to spare half of the
costs, if the other half can be
raised. "There j ust isn't enough
money in the budget to provide all
the funds. " explains McColloch.
PennDOT was then asked to
provide funds, but its budget is too
tight. Next the CGA was . approached. They offered $20,000.
McColloch was hoping for more
(the other $50,000, in fact). As it is,
the proposition by the Stopper Co.
is limited, and time is running out.
Will the overpass ever be built?
"I don 't see how this college has
survived without one for so long
without having anymore serious
accidents," sums up LeeAnn
Stump, "As a former resident of
(Continued on Page 3)
Harrison Morrsort an alumnus of BU, 1959, spoke to an audience about survival techniques specially
geared toward minority students inhigher education. The five survival techniques stressed were:
students should 1.) be informed; 2.) maximize availability of resources; 3.) set priorities; 4.) get involved; and 5.) enjoy.
Stress Survey To
Circulate On Campus
Plans are currently being made to distribute a survey throuhgout campus on stress and stress-related behaviors..The Counseling Center is
sponsoring the project organized by Shell Lundall, a counselor at the center, and Mary Ann Jasper, a sociology research student .
The survey is designed to identify academic, personal and social
situations which students may percieve as highly stressful. We are interested in targeting groups on campus who may be particularly
vulnerable to high levels of stress, such as non-traditional or foreign
students. Also important is an assessment of the different ways s dents
may deal with stress, and the identification of sources of support, both on
and off campus, which students may seek out when stressed.
Several classes were selected at random to participate in the study.
Professors teaching the selected classes have been asked to take a few
minutes of their class time to have students fill out the questionnaire1. Information from this study will be used by the Counseling Center to assess
current student needs and will help in the development and planning of
future programs to be sponsored by the center.
Anyone wishing further information on this project may contact Shell
Lundall at the Counseling Center.
Richard Traylor a sociology major doing his internship at the counseling is also involved in the project and may be administering
questionaires. . . ^

TV...
Public
Threatened or Threatening
MIKE DILLON
Tuning into a public television station during a pledge drive is like accidently stumbling into an Irish wake. For two weeks the television
station which prides itself on its dignity breaks down into a whining,
lamenting, begging, oath swearing wreck. The hosts of these pledge
drives shout out grim rumors of the death of public television, but later,
after the pledges are all in, they inform us that these rumors have been
greatly exaggerated ; The fund raising techniques of public television
stations are usually annoying and sometimes intolerable, but they work.
There is a definite formula to public television fund raising: tease
viewers with what is most important to them, and then jerk them out of
their Barcaloungers with threats and accusations. This tactic resembles
the "good cop - bad cop" routine. First, the "nice" announcer sets us up
with a heartfeld request for patience: "We'll be getting to 'Watch on the
Weather' in just a few minutes. If you enjoy this program please call and
pledge your support." Then, the pitch is turned over to the "nasty" announcer : "So, you've tuned in to see 'Watch on the Weather?' Well maybe
we don't feel like shov/ing it tonight. Maybe your penny-pinching apathy
has made it impossible for us to purchase this program. Maybe you don't
deserve to have a public television station. Maybe you are not worthy
enough to lick the boots of these fine telephone volunteers who are sitting
here wasting their time in front of silent telephones. You make us sick.
Pick up that phone and pledge nibney dammit, or so help us God...."
Despite the gloomy theatrics of our pledge drive tour guides public
television continues to thrive, and grows bigger and more brazen every
year. More incredible than the lengths to which these stations will go to
raise money is the fact that other non-profit groups have not adopted the
same strategies for finanaical success. The possibilities, for say, the local
fire department are endless :
Announcer A: "We're here at the home of Elroy Cudd, where volunteer
firemen are putting out this tragic, unfortunate fire. ''
The camera zooms in on the grieving Cudd, but suddenly the firemen
drop their hoses as the announcer informs us that there will be a short intermission.
Anouncer B: "Tell us that you don't want your house saved when it catches on fire. Tell us that you want your house and all of its memories to
burn to the ground. That's what your're telling us when you don't pledge
money to your local fire department (close-up shot of Cudd weeping).
We'll get back to this exciting blaze as soon as we reach our
goal for this evening of *1,000., your volunteer firemen are manning the
phones right now. "
Actually, other non-profit groups do use emotional appeals to solicit
funds, but none are as brutally blunt as public television. Perhaps there is
no other way to run "member supported, member sponsored" public
television, and viewers do have the option of tuning out if the strong arm
tactics of the hosts become unbearable. It's even possible that a good
degrading guilt trip is healthy therapy fori the usually contented, sedentary television viewer.
Indeed, for better or worse public television pledge drives are among
the few events on television which stimulate viewers to action, even if
that action is leaping up and turning the set off .

Tell It Like It Is
Dear Editor,
When news is reported, it should
be accurate and factual. It seems
there was a problem with the
Voice's article of Wednesday,February 29 on page 5 entitled
'"Strip"Proves Literal'.
To begin, I don't claim to be an
authority on news reporting, but I
do know my music. I read this article and felt as if the writer could
not have possibly attended this concert. I was in the front row and took
considerable notice to what was
happening at all times. The article
made six statements which were
incorrect. The first is that ) the
Romantics did not open up with
"Rock Me Up", they began with
"When I Look In Your Eyes" from
a previous album. The second is
that there was not a 15 minutes
break at intermission. It was approximately 30 minutes, as I can
quite well remember, seeing as I
was in a sober state, unlike many of
the other concert-goers. Ant did hot
remove pieces of his wardrobe
before every song - it was only a
handful of songs. If he had done
that, well I don't know what the
audience would have done! Also,
by his last number he was not in his
leather pants and top. He had
already taken his shirt off and
various belts and accessories. The
song entitled "Desperate But Not
Serious" is not from the "Strip"
album. It is from the album
"Friend or Foe". For my final
correction, Ant did not appear in
brief leather shorts, they were simply, black , athletic shorts with an
"A" on the left leg. And for the
stockings - they were black leg
warmers.
After reading this article, I
discussed it with a number of
students who were at the concert
and who alse read the article. They
were disturbed of the inaccurate
reporting of the vents of the concert
as I was. Like I said, I'm no
authority, but the reporters should
take the responsibility and the time
to get the story straight. If this is
going to be your future career, the
next time, PLEASE TELL IT
LIKE IT IS!

"Under The Bright Lights "

He is no stranger to the stage.
Under the bright lights is where he
is most at home. The penetrating
heat lamps are his friends ; the
audience his family. His entire
musical fantasy comes to life as the
world's eyes widen and become
fixed. This, is certainly an experience which dangles on the
hinges of reality. He is Scurvy band
member Chris Lackey and his fantasy-turned'reality is itself the
unique art of "airbanding. "
It all began back in the days
when music posed an invitation to
the listener. An invitation which encouraged the listener to participate
in the-music by tapping his toes,
clapping his hands , or dancing the
night away. Chris Lackey has accepted the invitation and has taken
it one step further in what he calls
"airbanding."
According to Lackey, "Airbanding is the visual replication of
music on stage by a group of individuals whose unltimate fantasy
is to produce a show with the same
intensity and likeness as that
produced by the original group."
Put simply, it is the acting out of intense feelings of creativity and fantasy in the form of a pseudo-rock

concert. The members involved
choreograph movements to the
music which is prerecorded and
played simultaneously with the
visual performance. These two
elements become interwoven into
one vibrant spectacle of color, life,
and realism.
Apparently this fantasyfullfilling behavior was not of the
"whim or fancy" nature. "On the
contrary." says Chris jokingly, "I
began stroking away on spoons at
the tendor age of two. It's actually
something I've enjoyed doing
privately since junior high." Occassional^ time spent with friends
included nothing more than a few
hours in the attic, practicing jumps
off an old box spring mattress with
the stereo volume past concert
level.
"My interests in immitating bands continued through high school
and it wasn't until my senior year
that my career really caught fire. "
Chris and three friends had joined
forces and adopted the name Scurvy. Apparently there was no real
physical connection between the
band and it's name but was simply
chosen on the basis of attractability. During the course of
his senior year, Chris and his band
performed at two school talent
shows, competed for prizes at
various area clubs and night spots ,
and entertained a busy crowd at a
hospital carnival.
When asked why he does this
thing called airbanding, Chris said ,
"I wish I could play in a real band
with real music that I've created ,
but I can't so I do the next best
thing."
This new way of experiencing
music would seem as though it
were a slap in the face, making a
mockery of those who actually
create music for a living. '"This is
by no means a slap in the face of entertainers. What we do is very
^
serious - at least from our standpoint. Our main objective is to have
fun, but if people are going to take
the time to see us; we want to make
sure it's as worth while for them as
it is for us." Chris continued, "Sure
this is all fantasy but we want the
audience to take us seriously . You
might say that's impossible but we
don't happen to hold that belief. By
stressing authenticity, and increasing the standards of our
presentations, we can make things
appear as they should."
As for the groups that get up on
stage and jump around like wild
boars in heat, Chris remarked,
"That's not what airbanding is all
about. Sure they're having a great
time but they're not serious about
what it is they're doing. They can't
be."
Scurvy has been wellrepresented in all four of B.U.P.'s
"Battle of the Air Bands", taking
first place two times. They have
become somewhat of a legend since
their original start four and a half
years ago. As in anything, no one
likes a successive winner. "Our
competition has been better in the
last year and it seems everyone is
out to beat Scurvy." Chris says kiddingly, "Now we know how the
Dallas Cowboys feel."

Vegetarian Satire
Dinner At Daphne 's
KATHLEEN BARTUNEK
Staff Writer
. I was sitting in the Union, leafing
through my History book when my
old pal Jack Thompson sat next to
me. He had a mischievous grin on
his face, so I knew he wanted
something.
"Hi Kath, old buddy, how'd you
like to do me a big favor? "
"It depends."
"You remember my girlfriend
Daphne don't you?''
"How could I forget ."
"Well, Daphne wants to get to
know you better and she asked me
to invite you over to dinner tonight.
Just you two girls, I'm sure you'll
like her more once you get to know
her."
"Dinner with Daphne !, how
quaint. "
"Don't be snotty. She worked all
day on this - won't you go? "
"On one condition : Explain to me
how a man of your intelligence can
be so taken with a girl with the
mentality of a woodchuck."
"I like you don't I?"
"I may not be a genius, but at
least MY I.Q. exceeds my brasize"
Jack chuckled, "That's not
saying much dear."
"Cute. Real cute. All I'm saying
is-
"Kath, please, just go to dinner..."
my horror I stared into a bowlful of
slimy herbaceous matter ,
reminiscent of something my dog
once did on the carpet.
"It's a health salad," Daphne
said proudly. "I'm a vega, a
vega...um, I don't eat animal flesh.
Go ahead, try it." I am not what
you 'd call a "vegie" person. I am
the kind of individual who likes
steak so rare it still "moo's", I explained as tactfully as possible that
I like to know what I'm eating
before I commit myself to it. "Then
I'll explain," said Daphne cheerfully. "See, the hard stuff is lettuce,
watercrest , forsythia roots ,
crushed apricot pits, mango peels,
meat or prune, tofu, raw antichokes, and Kath, are you feeling
alright? You look kind of green.''
"It's the wine." I lied.

MANSFIELD
The Huskies twelve game win
streak, PC title hopes, automatic
NCAA tourney berth, and possibly,
the marvelous career of Francisco
all came to an end when Mansfield
(25-5) outmuscled BU 61-54 in a
rough, back and forth championships game. It marked the
fourth consecutive BU appearance
in the final and first time since 1975
that the Mounties had made it.
The tone of the game was set in
the opening seconds, when MU hit a
long range jumper then fell back
into an aggresive man defense that
caused the Husky offense major
problems. On the otherhand, BU
despite playing well never seemed
to be able to find the flow. Perhaps
it was due to the lateness of the
emotionally draining semifinal
game which didn't finish until afer
11 p.m., while MU, defeated
Clarion 59-47 in the, afternoon
semifinal.
MU built the biggest lead in the
game 18-12 on some fine outside
shooting by Chris Venning. And
when Venning wasn't shooting, the
physical Mounties frontline of Carl
Walker , Nelson Tuitj ;, and Gerald
conyers banged the boards.
The Huskies battled back with
four points from Wright (a 17 footer
and two free throws) and a pretty
alleyoop layup by Brisbon form a
Francisco feed to tie the game at
18. After a timeout, BU put
together their best streak of the
, .= .. . . ., ,.. =. — . *.: . . - .-<
game. .*
A Noack nailed a 15 footer off a
fast break was sandwiched between two Francisco bombs for a 2824 lead. Flanagan added a bucket
from the wing for six point margin
with less than two minutes left.
Francisco (10 first half points )
hit two fouls then left the game to
avoid foul trouble. The Huskies
went to a four corners delay for the
final minute two and left the first
half leading 32-29.
The Mounties came out hot to
open up the final stanza. After a
Francisco 18 footer, MU got
buckets from three different
players to claim a 35-34 advantage.
They stretched it to 45-40 on a Craig
Cooley jumper before BU coach
Chronister could get a tiemout at
11:07.
BU managed to get back within a
point on two occabions but failed to
convert opportunities for the lead.
First Flanagan missed the foul shot
on a three point play then Francisco and Brisbon missed the mark
on jumpers.
The lone Husky that didn 't seem
to lose his scoring touch was Noack
who hit two shots to keep BU within
three 57-54 with under a minute to
play. BU was forced to foul as the
Mounties spread the court. They
put Walker on the line both times
but the senior forward hit all four
free throws to ice the game.
NOTES: BU's Francisco and
Wright were both named AllTourney along with Mansfield's
Craig Cooley, Gerald Conyers, arid
MVP Nelson Tuitt, and Kevin
Williams of Slippery Rock....The
loss snapped Chronister's 3 year
streak of 20 , or more wins and
NCAA-appearances.- . -~.-- .~ ~. . ---.

mftletss of the Week
Despite not winning the championship game at last weekend's
Pennsylvania conference Championships, the men's basketball
had a typically successful, though
unusual, season that Bloomsburg is
known for. Few people even gave
them half a chance to rebound from
a| disasterous 5-9 start let alone
come within one game of a fourth
straight NCAA tourney appearance. It is for their preserverance and great play that the
Husky basketball team is "The
Athletes of the Week."
As they were all season long, the
Huskies were led by senior captain
Barry Francisco. The 6-3 guard
was named to the All:Tourney
team for his •_ three game performance of 47 points, 14 rebounds,
5 blocked shots.
6-8 center, Wes Wright turned in
the Huskies second All-Tourney effort with three of his finest games
of his career. Scoring 37 points in
the playoffs, Wright was a major
reason the team held off a Slippery
Rock comeback in the semifinals.
Just a 68 percent foul shooter, he
made 15 of 17 during the tourney, to
go along with 23 boards.
Superb defense by soph , forward
Pat Flanagan held highscoring
Kevin Givens to just...6..first.half
points in the West Chester game, in
addition to scoring 9 points. Fellow
soph. Shane Planutis added 25 points with his corner jumper to take up
some of the scoring slack.
Glenn Noack poured in 35 points
and helped break a series of
presses that were deployed against
the team throughout the team. In
the Slippery Rock game, Noack
played a key role while four of his
teammates were plagued with
fouls.
Point guard Jerome Brisbon
displayed maturity usually not
epected from a freshman in not
only handling the presses but
bucketing 37 markers and continually pestering the opposition
defensely.
Of the reserves , Cas Kosciolek
topped the list with a 9 point effort
against the Rock , most in pressure
situations. Greg Johnston was
called upon late in the semifinal
game to handle the ball after
Brisbon fouled out against a furious
press. While Bob McCullough
provided Wright with a breather
and filled in adequately in the
pivot.
nsylvania Conference final game,
the Husky basketball team had a
quite successful , though unusual
season. It was a season that was
filled with high;expectations at the
beginning, niajor disappointments
and adversity in the middle, and a
great winning streak at the end.
Who would have thought that a
team without a leader and a 5-9
record would end with a, twelve
game winning streak and come
within a few points of winning the
conference crown?
Individually, the Huskies
featured the incredible Barry
Francisco in his final season, the
vastly improved play of Wes
Wright , Pat Flanagan, and Shane
Planutis , the continued fine play of
Glenn Noack , and the introduction
of Jerome Brisbon as BU's point
guard of the future.
Certainly the most entertaining,
if not best player, ever to wear a
Husky uniform, Francisco ended
his career in second place on BU's
all time leading scorers with 1482
points. In addition to being named
an unanimous choice on the conference's all-star team, he was
named to the PC's All-Tourney
team this season.
Most pleasing to watch was the
development of the pivot play of
Wright. One could see improvement almost game by game.
The 6-8 junior saved his best for
last as he joined Francisco on the
All-Tourney team. His play should
provide a big boost for next years
squad, being the lone senior.
The development of Flanagan
and Planutis since last season was
also quite noticeable. Flanagan
filled in admirably in Noack's absence and was the team's defensive
stopper on the inside. Planutis'
baseline jumper carried the team
at the start of the season when offense was a factor missing in most
BU games.
As for Noack , he seems ready to
take the lead for next season . A fine
passer as well as shooter , he broke
Planutis 's week old record, for consecutive free throws. A mark that
finally ended at the PC finals .
Quite honestly, without Brisbon
assuming control of the point guard
position , the Huskies probably
would not have had the season they
did. Not only did he provide all of
the offensive qualities but defensively he continuously turned in the
key play that got the team going.

Huskies Fall To Mansfield in PC Final
WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Three streaks came to an end
Saturday afternoon when Mansfield defeated Bloomsburg in the
finals of the Pennsylvania Conference Championships. Most importantly, the Huskies' string of appearing in three straight NCAA
tournaments will end unless their
very slim wildcard hopes are
fulfilled. Coinciding with that are ,
Coach Charlie Chronister's three
straight 20 win campaigns. Thirdly, BU's current twelve game victory streak was snapped.
SLIPPERY ROCK
Playoff games sometime creates
heroes out of the unlikeliest of
players. Such was the case as the
Huskies held off a furious Slippery
Rock ( 16-11) surge to take a 86-80
victory in the semifinals of the Pennsylvania Conference Championships.
After melting down what was once a 22 point lead to just six points,
66-60, Slippery Rock appeared
ready to deliver the knockout punch to the Huskies, who were
without the services of a fouled out
Barry Francisco (18 points) . To
compound matters, three other BU
players were saddled with four
fouls : Wes Wright, Shane Planutis,
and Jerome Brisbon.
Enter Hero Number One: Cas
sleepy-eyed
Kosciolek , a
swingman, who is better known for
his exploits on the gridiron than for
his shooting touch. But it was that
touch that turned in eight points, including two big free throws in the
final minutes, that spearheaded the
victory.
Kosciolek got the opportunity to
play because four Husky starters
had four fouls, including Hero
Number Two, Wes Wright. The 6-8
Wright added eight of his 15 points
in the finals 4:41 despite playing
with four fouls. Included in those
points was a ' pair of free throws
with BU up 70-65 at the 4:08 mark.
A minute later, the bearded center
contributed a three point play to
push the margin back ten, 77-67.
After the first half ended, it
didn't look as though the Huskies
would need any heroes as they turned in a near flawless twenty
minutes of basketball to lead 39-21.
The teams traded baskets for the
opening eight minutes, then the
Huskies scored nine straight and 15
of 21 to streak to a 21-12 advantage.
Highlighting the spree was a spectacular Barry Francisco layup.
The 6-3 senior took a full court
pass on the break, trailed closely
by two Rock players. Instead of
going for what would have been a
contested dunk, Francisco took off
f rom two feet shielding the ball
with a 360 degree turn then banking
it home. The huge pro-Husky
Wes Wright and Barry Francisco closed in on Slippery Rock's Mike Spanitz
Pat Flanagan watches his shot after being fouled by Mansfield's Chris Venning.
throng went beserk forcing SR to
call a timeout.
The tiemout slowed the BU
momentum, letting the Rockets
close the gap to 23-19. But that
would be as close as they would get
until late in the game.
A Francisco 20-footer started a
BU string that saw them outscore
SR 16-2 in the final five minutes.
Wright added a followup, then
Noack nailed a jumper and
threaded an assist to Shane
Planutis that resulted in a three
point play.
BU was forced to run a four corners offense in the last 1:39 after
Francisco and Pat Flanagan joined
Wright on the bench with three
fouls. The play worked as Noack
canned two fouls to extend the lead
to 39-21.
The Huskies foul problems intensified twenty seconds into the
second half when Wright picked up
number four. Things got even worse two minutes later when the
whistle happy officials called back
to back fouls on Planutis (his third )
and Francisco (his fourth). The
latter
was
particularly
questionable as a charge was
called after Francisco caught an
over the shoulder pass and had no
place to land except on a Rock
player.
Despite BU's problems, SR could
not capitalize and fell even further
behind after Jerome Brisbon hit a
top of the key jumper to set the
score at 50-30. However, after
Planutis picked up his fourth, the
Rock came out in a full court press
that rattled the depleted Husky
squad. With only Brisbon and
Noack available to handle the ball
SR whittled the lead down to 56-44.
A BU turnover brought Francisco
and Flanagan back on the court but
even that failed to slow the momentum.
And when it seemed that nothing
else could go wrong, Noack saw his
school record of 33 straight free
throws snapped and Brisbon was
called for his fourth foul. With just
nine minutes left, Mike Spanitz
canned a pair of free throws to cut
the margin to 58-50:
Brisbon temporarily stopped the
Rockets' streak with a driving
layiip and two foul shots but SR's
huge forward Kevin Williams (6-6,
230) scored twice from short range,
before Brisbon hit a fast break
layup to set the stage for Kosciolek
and Wright's heroics.
NOTES: There were an un^
believable 61 fouls called with-the
Rock getting the extra,..Francisco,
