drinking in their room. Often, it is a
case of students coming into the
dorms disruptive and rowdy after
being at an off-campus party.
Carpenter does not feel mat consumption of alcohol has increased
in recent years. However, she feels
that abuse of it is on the rise. She
believes that today, more students
set out to get "trashed." They don't
want to go out, have a few beers,
and come back relatively sober.
One reason for this conduct, says
Carpenter, is the freedom of being
away from home. For the first
time, students can come back very
(Irunk and no one will say anything.
Also, Carpenter feels that this time
in a person's life is one of understandable rebellion. This "push
against authority " is especially
noticeable -during freshman and
sophomore years.
Carpenter feels that the Resident
Advisors do a good job enforcing
the alcohol policy. This is evident
by the large^number of cases reported. She does realize that the
R.A.'s are put in a difficult
position. It can be hard to enforce
the policy among peers. While she
feels some R.A.'s let drinking incidents slip by, the majority do not.

There have been discussions in
past years about allowing alcohol
on campus. None of these have
gone over favorably. Carpenter
feels it is important to "keep the
structure" at Bloomsburg as it is
today. Permitting alcohol on campus, she feels, would be a very bad
move.

Foreign language study is more important today, than ever before in
the United States. Bloomsburg University is one of the first to recognize
this. This past Saturday, the 15th Annual International Day was sponsored by the Department of Languages and Cultures.
"We never had anything like this in our high school. It was a fun experience," said Sophomore Tracey Parker. The concept for the International Day began 15 years ago when Dr. Forman started things by
sponsoring a French Competition Day. The students participating are
still in high school"and have anywhere from one to three years of the
language they are competing in.
In addition, the International Club sponsored a display of artifacts from
foreign countries, held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the President's Lounge,
Kehr Union Building. Currency, clothing, and arts and crafts were some
of the wares that were displayed. Also as a special service to the students,
two BU campus tours were conducted by the Admissions Office.
"It was a day of team effort," said Faculty Coordinator Professor
Sharon Guinn. Faculty and students alike put time and effort into making
the day run smoothly. "We wanted International Day, 1984, to be not only
a day of recreation,1but alsoan event that instilled a desire to continued
studying and appreciating foreign languages," added Wendy Bittner, this
year's Student Chairperson. Jill Sinclair, a BU freshmen, says "I think
International Day '84 was fun and a very good idea: I've always been interested in language and helping out Sautrday was a good experience."
International Day was brought to a close as Acting President Dr. Larry
Jones dismissed the high school students with the concluding remarks at
Carver Hall Auditorium.
Students Denounce
- Tuition Hike -
Calling for a "recommitment to
the future of Pennsylvania,"
students from across the state on
April 25, gathered on the steps of
the state capitol to voice objections
to a potential $200 tuition increase for students attending the 14
state-owned universities. Members
f r o m the Commonwealth
Association of Students ( CAS) , the
state-wide lobby group for the
81,000 students of the State System
of Higher Education, met with
legislators asking for support of increased appropriations for SSHE in
an effort to stare off the probable
hike for the fall semester.
CAS President Randy Shuster,
citing statistics which show Pennsylvania to have the third highest
tuition in the nation, stated that
"This state 's commitment to public
higher education is totally unacceptable. We as students'represent
the future of this state, and while
the Governor 's proposed 7 percent
increase is more than we've had in
the past, it does not make up for
years of neglect, and once again
the burden may be laid on the
students. .We need a change of
priorities, and we need it now."
The proposed 7 percent increase
falls far short of the 14 percent
requested by SSHE, according to
Interim Chancellor McCormick at
the House Appropriation Hearing."
In short, only 14 percent will save
the Board of Governors from being
forced to raise tuition, cut back
programs on the campuses, or take
both measures to some degree.''
Shuster stated that "Students are
being turned away from the doors
of the very institutions which
provide this state with the hope for
a true and long-lasting economic
recovery." Further, he said that
CAS brought to the capitol "a warning that any societey which does
not put enough emphasis on the
enlightenment of its youth:-.!will
surely pay the price."
BLOOM COUNTY
by Berke Breathed
Editorial
Once again the Delta Pi fraternity has taken it upon themselves to supply the student body with the nutrition it needs to get through finals week.
Delta Pi has, for the last nine years, peddled fruit baskets and what they
affectionately call the "Survival Kit. "
The fraternity begins its push of these two items .with a letter to your
parents stating whentfinals begin-arid just how terrible this week is. Delta
Pi, the letter states, understands that the student unavoidably misses
meals and sleep. This brings me to my first point, missing sleep. On
Saturday morning, approximately 8 a.m., your phone rings and you begin
missing the precious sleep you need to get through finals week. The
demanding voice on the other end tells you that your fruit basket is here
and (this is of course if you are on-campus ) you must come down and get
it.
The "Survival Kit" is full of stuff that most people have never heard of
and therefore don't eat. Most of my "Survival Kit" was found at the end
of August when I was packing my belongings to begin my sophomore
year.
The last sentence of this letter to "your parents " goes something like
this, "Please help 'your child' to be alert, confident and relaxed during
finals." Being 18 when I first set foot on this campus I didn't then, and
even less so now, and probably you don't either, but Delta Pi does, consider us children.
Finally, the order form included with the letter states that it is 'critical'
to include phone and box number. Lives are not threatened when phone
and box numbers are not included, it may, however, be important.

A Parent's Thanks
Dear Editor,
My wife and I want to express
our gratitude to all the townspeople, faculty, and students of
Bloomsburg who helped our
daughter and her friends as a
result of the fire on March 24. Your
generousity in gifts of clothing,
books, money, and moral support
have certainly helped them over a
most difficult time.
Most of you are unknown to us
and this expression seems
inadequate, but your kindness" will
never be forgotten.
A special thanks to Karry
Roadarmel, Jennie Carpenter, the
sisters of Chi Sig sorority, Dave
Murphy, the Nursing Dept. of BU,
and the Red Cross for all they have
done.
God Bless You All!
Dudley and Mary Giberson
Dear Editor,
The Pilot seems to suggest the
Kehr Union as a "student" union. It
states all of the grand facilities
available within its doors. It is
deceptive in stating the Presidents '
Lounge use for "other programs",
but inferes it to be primarily for
student use. Many students and I
have discussed priorities set by the
"upper echelon" of BU concerning
the Presidents' Lounge and its use.
We feel that its use as a study
lounge is last on a priority list when
it comes to other programs. It is
more and more freiquent that we
are asked, and sometimes blatently told to remove our bodies from
the premises. This is without doubt,
the most annoying interruption incurred to someone when settled in
their chair and engrossed in study.
We're told to ge somewhere else
to study after being booted out.
Where the heck do you go when the
Coffeehouse is being used for
scheduling, the library is full , and
the Snack Bar suffers NOISE
pollution? I don't mean to sound
like a selfish student exhibiting
territorial rights, but I am disappointed that Administration cannot
see the needs of the student body
more efficiently. I commute to BU
and do not wish to waste gas going
home to study a few hours, only to
return later for class.
Regardless of what they are
called...these social events should
not supersede necessary study
areas. Multi A & B rooms should be
used more effectively, and the
Scrantbn Commons could be used
between or after meals. Administrative meetings could be
held in the commons at these
times, and the food or refresh-'
ments would be easier to set up and
readily available. From what I've
seen so far, students do not use the
lounge, but Administration abuses
its powerin taking from us.
I sincerely hope this can be discussed and corrected. I would be
interested in replies which support
or negate my beliefs.

college or university, according to
Robert Davenport, psychological
counselor who heads the CLEP
program atBU.
"We're trying to get people . interested in starting some sort of
program here," says Davenport.
"They need to realize there are
other people at BU in this program
and persons in financial aid and
academic advisement who they
can talk to."
General examinations are offered in areas of English comhumanities ,
position ,
mathematics, natural sciences,
social sciences and history. Subject

Eurailpasses - Hints Fortfei|j ^lpenl
This summer,, thousands of
students will fly off to Europe ,
taking advantage of low transatlantic fares and a very strong
U.S. dollar. Many will wisely be
using a Eurailpass of Eurail Youthpass, but almost all of these will be
unaware of many of the pitfalls and
dangers of such travel that a little
advance planning can easily avoid.
Eurailpass is easily the cheapest
and the most pleasant way to get
around quickly on the continent. In
just hours you could get from Amsterdam to Paris, or Frankfurt to
Zurich. However, there can be
complications. During the summer
months you may find yourself standing for a few long hours rather
than sitting for a few short hours if
you have failed to get a seat reservation. This may seem to be unimportant at first thought , but the
consequences are obvious. Most of
the time .however, if you're
travelling Monday through Thursday, you should have little
problem finding a seat.
Another consideration of seating
comes up with the decision to buy
the cheaper second class Youthrail
Pass (expressly for people younger
than 26) , or the First Class
Eurailpass. There is somewhat
more money involved with the purchase of the first class pass, but if
you've ever tried cramming into
second class accommodations at
the height of the European tourist
season, then you might appreciate
the value of the first class pass!
European trains are excellent!
They run with the precision of a
well-machined Swiss clock. On the
other hand they run too efficiently.
If your train stops at a station ,
don't get off the train to stretch or
run off to buy ' a souvenir; your
train - will disappear instantly,
leaving you in the station and your
belongings racing off to Budapest.
Another danger is car switching.
Be very careful to read the train
boards in the stations as to where
each car on your train is going,
because they will at one point or
another be switched off to some
point far removed from each other.
If you've become separated from a
friend who is just in the next car become unseparated immediately!
He or she could end up in Oslo and
you in Istanbul !
To make all of this easier , it is
wise to purchase the great
"Thomas Cook Timetable." This
will be a constant . help and
lifesaver. It has everything in it.
The Thomas Cook Timetable has
maps of some cities showing the
locations of stations. Be; particularly careful that you are in the
correct station. Many European
cities have several terminals.
Some have as many as five,
Some common sense points ned
to be brought out here as well. Plan
your itinerary. Don't expect that
Europe is a postage stamp. It's not.
Lots of students are surprised that
they haven't planned well and
leave Europe after covering very
little. Hopefully your stay will be
for at least three weeks. Anything
less will, considering jet lag and
the like, be just a tantalizing taste
of what you could have really done.
Be sure, before you board your
first train using the pass, to have it
validated at a ticket window. If you
don't, you can get it done on the
train, but you'll also pay a small
fine.
Once on the train you'll be
shocked by the price of food and
drink. Again, plan ahead and stop
at one of the small shops usually
found in and around train stations
which sell bread, cheese, wine, and
other necessities. The sayings are
unbelievable! Incidentally, try
shopping for some European
yogurt. It's fantastic and inexpensive; something you'll be sure
to get hooked on!
Never, never, never check your
bags on the train unless you absolutely must! Why? It will take
you forever to get them back. The
red tape borders on sheer nonsense. Just avoid the whole thing
and travel light, keeping your bag
securely with you in your compartment.
IfltflWi
IfW fH
The Eurailpass and the Youthrail
Pass are both great values, but lose
them and you're up the creek ! Watch out for ripoff artists in Brindiski,
Italy, if you're trying to go by boat
to Patras, Greece. There is only
one ^steamship line which honors
the pass on a free basis. The others
will actually try to deceive you and
lure you onto their boat where,
when it is impossible to get off the
ship, they will charge you $80.00 for
the voyage!
.
Additionally, one of the best
cities through which to enter
Europe is Brussels. The train
station is right at the airport, which
will help keep costs down. Both
Capitol Airlines and Sebena
Airlines fly there.
Keeping all of these things in
mind, your trip should go quite
well. With a little common sense
and sorrie imaginative preplanning
your trip through Europe wiU turn
into a very rewarding experience.
For additional information concerning the "Thomas Cook
Timestable" and the Eurailpass
consult your travel agent.

JOHN BARTER
Voice Contributor
Once upon a. time in a small kindgom not too far away, there was a
man who worked in a respectablelooking pizza parlor. One day,
while joking with some of the other
waiters, he said that his daughter
Roxanne was a chemistry major
and that she .had discovered a way
to turn ordinary pizza-dough into
valuable heroin. The owner of the
pizza parlor (who took the man's
word a little too seriously)
overhead him and said, "Ok joker,
bring your daughter here tonight to
show me that flour trick of hers or
I'll waste you both. "
"But but but...she has to be alone
to do it right ," the waiter stammered.
"If she can do it at all, then
privacy can be arranged ," the
owner answered While the boss dreamed of
riches, the waiter began to wonder
why he ever said such a stupid
thing.

waiter brought his beautiful

little man appeared, and he did his

a new way to test the product, and
soon she was fast asleep.
The next day, the pizza shop
owner found a fortune in heroin inside the old flour sacks and (as
you've probably guessed) he ordered her to do the procedure just
once more, for he had become a
wealthy and powerful man literally
overnight. "If you can do it one

the little man appeared again, but
she could not guess his name. She
struck out again the next day.
Meanwhile, one of her husband's
friends ( who owned a pizza parlor
near the outskirts of the kingdom)

singing and dancing around a fire
near the.woods. In the course of the

The warm weather has finally arrived, and it is bringing about all types of outdoor activities, including
frisbee. Everyone seems to want a piece, of the action - in the sun!
Short people can play basketball , too
Campus Diges t News Service
Who says short people can 't succeed in college basketball? If you're
good enough, you can do anything—Anthony "Spud" Webb is proof of that.
Webb stands only 5 feet , 7 inches
tall. Only 48 NCAA Division I
players this season are shorter than
5-10.
Although he may not get many rebounds or win jump shots very often ,
his quickness has brought him to the
top of assists in the Atlantic Coast
Conference (5.4 a game). Webb can
jump 42 inches vertically, and has
dunked the ball' -' four times ' this
season. He averages over 9 points a
game for North Carolina State.
Players like Webb are the exception
instead of the rule, of course. This
year , the percentage of Division I
players shorter than 5-10 has shrunk
to approximatel y 1.3 On 1969-70 it
was 2.2 percent).:
Other p layers who have broken the
mold in the past are 5-9 Calvin Murphy f/o m Niagara, who is fourth
among all-time NCAA scorers with
33.1 points a game , and Mike Warren
from thie University of California-Los
Angeles , a starter on national championship teams in 1967 and 1968.
Although the tendency among coir
tege recruiters is to go after the tallest
players, shorter people often get the
second or third look. In Webb's'case,
he proved himself by leading Midland
(Texas) Junior College to -the junior
college national champ ionshi p. Then
he received offers from a handful of
universities.
For the shorter players; hard work
and determination can make seemingly impossible goals feasible.

season, the netters are again
struggling in that area . Lehigh
displayed some fine talent but not
enough to take two of the three
matches which they did.
, In the other singles action, Rob
Lario (7-10) had a short winning
streak snapped by Howard Beckman 6-1, 6-3; while Mike Penny (87>) fell to Mark Verebey 6-4, 6-2 in
the third slot.
Lario-Gibbs recorded the only
victory in the top spot after posting
a 6-4, 6:3 win. However, the teams
of Grebe-OBird and MitchellAugustine dropped 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 and
6-4, 7-5 decisions.
The doubles posed the same
problems for BU as the singles
competition. Wins were hoped for
in the second and third matches but
PSU swept in tight straight set victories.

The Huskies redeemed themselves the following afternoon by
claiming a 6-3. triumph over a
Lehigh squad that had been playing
tough matches with quality opponents. BU scored wins in five of
the six singles matches, headed by
impressive victories by Mitchell
and Penny to put the match away
prior to doubles.

Consistency Lacking
BU Netmen Split A/Ud-WeekMatches
WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Coach Burt Reese is still waiting
for his Husky netmen (9-8) to find
that much needed consistency.
Reese had hoped that his squad
would come together in mid-week
matches at Penn St. and Lehigh but
those contests only served to typify
BU's struggle as they were soundly
beaten by the Nittany Lions 8-1 but .
managed to pull out a 6-3 victory
over a tough Engineer team.
Penn St.
Going into the match at Happy
Valley, Reese was expecting the
bottom half of his lineup to string
together wins for an upset of the
Lions, who were ranked 4th in the
Middle States. However , BU
played tentatively on PSU's indoor
courts and allowed the aggressive
Lions to claim all but one of the
singles matches.
"It wasn't one of Penn St.'s better teams talent-wise but they just
came out aggressively and beat us
on guts and determination," states
the Husky mentor.
A streaking Scott Grebe (11-6)
downed Ben Shobaken at the number four spot for the lone win.
"Grebe's probably playing the best
of anybody right now," commented
Reese. The three set win , 2-6, 6-2, 63, stretched the sophomore's winning streak to three and five of six.
Fifth and sixth players Scott Gibbs (7-6) and Jere Bird (9-5) sufferd
the crucial losses of the match.
Gibbs lost to Bryan Crist by 6-4
scores and Bird dropped a 7-5, 6-3
decision to Dwayne Holtenquist.
Number one Tim Mitchell (7-10)
who is playing well as of late, gave

Individual Improvement is Spring Grid Goal
Over 60 candidates for the
Bloomsburg University football
team reported to open spring drills
as head coach George Landis and
his Huskies look to improve individually and get a jump on the
fall season when they will try to
record the school's first back-toback non-losing season since 196667.
After posting a 1-7-1 mark in 1982,
Landis and his young Huskies were
the surprise of the Pennsylvania
George Landis
Conference last season as they notched a 5-5 overall mark and 4-2 in
the PC Eastern Division.
"I'd like to prepare more of the
squad to be able to be ready for
varsity action," Landis said in explaining his spring practice objectives. "We want to improve the
quality of our depth to allow us to
actively play more people," he continued.
Like other spring drills, the team
will also concentrate on the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, as
well as me kicking game.
While giving Landis a chance to
drill the team on basics, spring
practice will also give him a chance to do some experimenting wjth
different people and positions. One
of these positions is tight end where
senior Stan Kucewicz has departed.
Sophomore Kevin Grande (6-5,
205) and senior Brian Bidelspach
(6-1, 185) were used primarily as
wideouts last season, but they,
along with former offensive guard
Kevin Trusty (6-2, 215) , will work
at the tight end spot this spring.
Grande led the team with 20
receptions for 307 yards (15.5 yards
per catch ) and two touchdowns last
year, while Bidelspach caught four
passes for 42 yards (10.5 yards per
reception) .
Returning at wide receiver for
Landis will be junior Joe Dowd (60, 165) . After sitting out the 1983
season due to a knee injury. Dowd
will be back in pads this spring. He
was Bloomsburg's leading receiver
two years ago with 30 catches for
431 yards and one touchdown.
Another returnee from knee
surgery, who will also be watched
closely in spring drills, is freshman
quarterback Jay Dedea (6-3, 200).
Dedea started Bloomsburg 's
opening game last season at Slippery Rock and completed 18 of 28
passes for 199 yards and one touchdown. The freshman was injured ,
however, in the subsequent week's
practice.
Dedea 's successor last season,
junior Mike Glovas (6-3, 195), also
returns this spring. Glovas was 80
of 178 for 890 yards and four T.D.'s
on the year and engineered the
Huskies' five victories.
In the offensive backfield, Landis
will try another move as former
outside linebacker Brian Scriven
(6-1, 195) will see action at tailback.
Scriven will add depth to a backfield anchored by sophomore Jeff
Flickner {5-il , 190) . The workhorse
of BU's ground game hi 1983,
Flickner rushed for 800 yards on
204 carries and six touchdowns. A
second team PC East selection,
Flickner had four 100-yard plus
games in his rookie season.
Landis will also get a chance to
look at transfer fullback Calvin
Robinson (6-0, 225). Robinson transferred from Saginaw Valley
where he started as a sophomore.
Landis will have several returnees on his strong offensive line.
Senior center Mike Jupina (5-10,
220) , who was named Little AllAmerica Honorable Mention and
First Team PC East along with
Second Team PC East selection
Doug DeLambo (6-5, 245), will lead
that group.
Another transfer trying to learn
the new system in the offensive line
is B. J. Swaldi (6-2, 220). Swaldi
transferred from West Chester. *
On the other side of the line of
scrimmage is where Landis has
made many of his trial moves.
Junior Mark Landis (6-4, 265)
moves from nose guard back to
tackle with sophomore Ken Killian
(6-1, 225) making the move to hose

students being confronted while
drinking in their room. Often, it is a
case of students coming into the
dorms disruptive and rowdy after
being at an off-campus party.
Carpenter does not feel mat consumption of alcohol has increased
in recent years. However, she feels
that abuse of it is on the rise. She
believes that today, more students
set out to get "trashed." They don't
want to go out, have a few beers,
and come back relatively sober.
One reason for this conduct, says
Carpenter, is the freedom of being
away from home. For the first
time, students can come back very
(Irunk and no one will say anything.
Also, Carpenter feels that this time
in a person's life is one of understandable rebellion. This "push
against authority " is especially
noticeable -during freshman and
sophomore years.
Carpenter feels that the Resident
Advisors do a good job enforcing
the alcohol policy. This is evident
by the large^number of cases reported. She does realize that the
R.A.'s are put in a difficult
position. It can be hard to enforce
the policy among peers. While she
feels some R.A.'s let drinking incidents slip by, the majority do not.
•W1i6n-^ffi»earei;oiE:,R:A;'s---n6t enforcing the policy, they will be
fired.
There have been discussions in
past years about allowing alcohol
on campus. None of these have
gone over favorably. Carpenter
feels it is important to "keep the
structure" at Bloomsburg as it is
today. Permitting alcohol on campus, she feels, would be a very bad
move.

Foreign language study is more important today, than ever before in
the United States. Bloomsburg University is one of the first to recognize
this. This past Saturday, the 15th Annual International Day was sponsored by the Department of Languages and Cultures.
"We never had anything like this in our high school. It was a fun experience," said Sophomore Tracey Parker. The concept for the International Day began 15 years ago when Dr. Forman started things by
sponsoring a French Competition Day. The students participating are
still in high school"and have anywhere from one to three years of the
language they are competing in.
In addition, the International Club sponsored a display of artifacts from
foreign countries, held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the President's Lounge,
Kehr Union Building. Currency, clothing, and arts and crafts were some
of the wares that were displayed. Also as a special service to the students,
two BU campus tours were conducted by the Admissions Office.
"It was a day of team effort," said Faculty Coordinator Professor
Sharon Guinn. Faculty and students alike put time and effort into making
the day run smoothly. "We wanted International Day, 1984, to be not only
a day of recreation,1but alsoan event that instilled a desire to continued
studying and appreciating foreign languages," added Wendy Bittner, this
year's Student Chairperson. Jill Sinclair, a BU freshmen, says "I think
International Day '84 was fun and a very good idea: I've always been interested in language and helping out Sautrday was a good experience."
International Day was brought to a close as Acting President Dr. Larry
Jones dismissed the high school students with the concluding remarks at
Carver Hall Auditorium.
Students Denounce
- Tuition Hike -
Calling for a "recommitment to
the future of Pennsylvania,"
students from across the state on
April 25, gathered on the steps of
the state capitol to voice objections
to a potential $200 tuition increase for students attending the 14
state-owned universities. Members
f r o m the Commonwealth
Association of Students ( CAS) , the
state-wide lobby group for the
81,000 students of the State System
of Higher Education, met with
legislators asking for support of increased appropriations for SSHE in
an effort to stare off the probable
hike for the fall semester.
CAS President Randy Shuster,
citing statistics which show Pennsylvania to have the third highest
tuition in the nation, stated that
"This state 's commitment to public
higher education is totally unacceptable. We as students'represent
the future of this state, and while
the Governor 's proposed 7 percent
increase is more than we've had in
the past, it does not make up for
years of neglect, and once again
the burden may be laid on the
students. .We need a change of
priorities, and we need it now."
The proposed 7 percent increase
falls far short of the 14 percent
requested by SSHE, according to
Interim Chancellor McCormick at
the House Appropriation Hearing."
In short, only 14 percent will save
the Board of Governors from being
forced to raise tuition, cut back
programs on the campuses, or take
both measures to some degree.''
Shuster stated that "Students are
being turned away from the doors
of the very institutions which
provide this state with the hope for
a true and long-lasting economic
recovery." Further, he said that
CAS brought to the capitol "a warning that any societey which does
not put enough emphasis on the
enlightenment of its youth:-.!will
surely pay the price."

Once again the Delta Pi fraternity has taken it upon themselves to supply the student body with the nutrition it needs to get through finals week.
Delta Pi has, for the last nine years, peddled fruit baskets and what they
affectionately call the "Survival Kit. "
The fraternity begins its push of these two items .with a letter to your
parents stating whentfinals begin-arid just how terrible this week is. Delta
Pi, the letter states, understands that the student unavoidably misses
meals and sleep. This brings me to my first point, missing sleep. On
Saturday morning, approximately 8 a.m., your phone rings and you begin
missing the precious sleep you need to get through finals week. The
demanding voice on the other end tells you that your fruit basket is here
and (this is of course if you are on-campus ) you must come down and get
it.
The "Survival Kit" is full of stuff that most people have never heard of
and therefore don't eat. Most of my "Survival Kit" was found at the end
of August when I was packing my belongings to begin my sophomore
year.
The last sentence of this letter to "your parents " goes something like
this, "Please help 'your child' to be alert, confident and relaxed during
finals." Being 18 when I first set foot on this campus I didn't then, and
even less so now, and probably you don't either, but Delta Pi does, consider us children.
Finally, the order form included with the letter states that it is 'critical'
to include phone and box number. Lives are not threatened when phone
and box numbers are not included, it may, however, be important.
New Fitness Program

A Parent's Thanks
Dear Editor,
My wife and I want to express
our gratitude to all the townspeople, faculty, and students of
Bloomsburg who helped our
daughter and her friends as a
result of the fire on March 24. Your
generousity in gifts of clothing,
books, money, and moral support
have certainly helped them over a
most difficult time.
Most of you are unknown to us
and this expression seems
inadequate, but your kindness" will
never be forgotten.
A special thanks to Karry
Roadarmel, Jennie Carpenter, the
sisters of Chi Sig sorority, Dave
Murphy, the Nursing Dept. of BU,
and the Red Cross for all they have
done.
God Bless You All!
Dudley and Mary Giberson
Dear Editor,
The Pilot seems to suggest the
Kehr Union as a "student" union. It
states all of the grand facilities
available within its doors. It is
deceptive in stating the Presidents '
Lounge use for "other programs",
but inferes it to be primarily for
student use. Many students and I
have discussed priorities set by the
"upper echelon" of BU concerning
the Presidents' Lounge and its use.
We feel that its use as a study
lounge is last on a priority list when
it comes to other programs. It is
more and more freiquent that we
are asked, and sometimes blatently told to remove our bodies from
the premises. This is without doubt,
the most annoying interruption incurred to someone when settled in
their chair and engrossed in study.
We're told to ge somewhere else
to study after being booted out.
Where the heck do you go when the
Coffeehouse is being used for
scheduling, the library is full , and
the Snack Bar suffers NOISE
pollution? I don't mean to sound
like a selfish student exhibiting
territorial rights, but I am disappointed that Administration cannot
see the needs of the student body
more efficiently. I commute to BU
and do not wish to waste gas going
home to study a few hours, only to
return later for class.
Regardless of what they are
called...these social events should
not supersede necessary study
areas. Multi A & B rooms should be
used more effectively, and the
Scrantbn Commons could be used
between or after meals. Administrative meetings could be
held in the commons at these
times, and the food or refresh-'
ments would be easier to set up and
readily available. From what I've
seen so far, students do not use the
lounge, but Administration abuses
its powerin taking from us.
I sincerely hope this can be discussed and corrected. I would be
interested in replies which support
or negate my beliefs.

Eurailpasses - Hints Fortfei|j ^lpenl
This summer,, thousands of
students will fly off to Europe ,
taking advantage of low transatlantic fares and a very strong
U.S. dollar. Many will wisely be
using a Eurailpass of Eurail Youthpass, but almost all of these will be
unaware of many of the pitfalls and
dangers of such travel that a little
advance planning can easily avoid.
Eurailpass is easily the cheapest
and the most pleasant way to get
around quickly on the continent. In
just hours you could get from Amsterdam to Paris, or Frankfurt to
Zurich. However, there can be
complications. During the summer
months you may find yourself standing for a few long hours rather
than sitting for a few short hours if
you have failed to get a seat reservation. This may seem to be unimportant at first thought , but the
consequences are obvious. Most of
the time .however, if you're
travelling Monday through Thursday, you should have little
problem finding a seat.
Another consideration of seating
comes up with the decision to buy
the cheaper second class Youthrail
Pass (expressly for people younger
than 26) , or the First Class
Eurailpass. There is somewhat
more money involved with the purchase of the first class pass, but if
you've ever tried cramming into
second class accommodations at
the height of the European tourist
season, then you might appreciate
the value of the first class pass!
European trains are excellent!
They run with the precision of a
well-machined Swiss clock. On the
other hand they run too efficiently.
If your train stops at a station ,
don't get off the train to stretch or
run off to buy ' a souvenir; your
train - will disappear instantly,
leaving you in the station and your
belongings racing off to Budapest.
Another danger is car switching.
Be very careful to read the train
boards in the stations as to where
each car on your train is going,
because they will at one point or
another be switched off to some
point far removed from each other.
If you've become separated from a
friend who is just in the next car become unseparated immediately!
He or she could end up in Oslo and
you in Istanbul !
To make all of this easier , it is
wise to purchase the great
"Thomas Cook Timetable." This
will be a constant . help and
lifesaver. It has everything in it.
The Thomas Cook Timetable has
maps of some cities showing the
locations of stations. Be; particularly careful that you are in the
correct station. Many European
cities have several terminals.
Some have as many as five,
Some common sense points ned
to be brought out here as well. Plan
your itinerary. Don't expect that
Europe is a postage stamp. It's not.
Lots of students are surprised that
they haven't planned well and
leave Europe after covering very
little. Hopefully your stay will be
for at least three weeks. Anything
less will, considering jet lag and
the like, be just a tantalizing taste
of what you could have really done.
Be sure, before you board your
first train using the pass, to have it
validated at a ticket window. If you
don't, you can get it done on the
train, but you'll also pay a small
fine.
Once on the train you'll be
shocked by the price of food and
drink. Again, plan ahead and stop
at one of the small shops usually
found in and around train stations
which sell bread, cheese, wine, and
other necessities. The sayings are
unbelievable! Incidentally, try
shopping for some European
yogurt. It's fantastic and inexpensive; something you'll be sure
to get hooked on!
Never, never, never check your
bags on the train unless you absolutely must! Why? It will take
you forever to get them back. The
red tape borders on sheer nonsense. Just avoid the whole thing
and travel light, keeping your bag
securely with you in your compartment.
IfltflWi
IfW fH
The Eurailpass and the Youthrail
Pass are both great values, but lose
them and you're up the creek ! Watch out for ripoff artists in Brindiski,
Italy, if you're trying to go by boat
to Patras, Greece. There is only
one ^steamship line which honors
the pass on a free basis. The others
will actually try to deceive you and
lure you onto their boat where,
when it is impossible to get off the
ship, they will charge you $80.00 for
the voyage!
.
Additionally, one of the best
cities through which to enter
Europe is Brussels. The train
station is right at the airport, which
will help keep costs down. Both
Capitol Airlines and Sebena
Airlines fly there.
Keeping all of these things in
mind, your trip should go quite
well. With a little common sense
and sorrie imaginative preplanning
your trip through Europe wiU turn
into a very rewarding experience.
For additional information concerning the "Thomas Cook
Timestable" and the Eurailpass
consult your travel agent.
Drinking habits

JOHN BARTER
Voice Contributor
Once upon a. time in a small kindgom not too far away, there was a
man who worked in a respectablelooking pizza parlor. One day,
while joking with some of the other
waiters, he said that his daughter
Roxanne was a chemistry major
and that she .had discovered a way
to turn ordinary pizza-dough into
valuable heroin. The owner of the
pizza parlor (who took the man's
word a little too seriously)
overhead him and said, "Ok joker,
bring your daughter here tonight to
show me that flour trick of hers or
I'll waste you both. "
"But but but...she has to be alone
to do it right ," the waiter stammered.
"If she can do it at all, then
privacy can be arranged ," the
owner answered While the boss dreamed of
riches, the waiter began to wonder
why he ever said such a stupid
thing.

waiter brought his beautiful

The warm weather has finally arrived, and it is bringing about all types of outdoor activities, including
frisbee. Everyone seems to want a piece, of the action - in the sun!
Short people can play basketball , too
Campus Diges t News Service
Who says short people can 't succeed in college basketball? If you're
good enough, you can do anything—Anthony "Spud" Webb is proof of that.
Webb stands only 5 feet , 7 inches
tall. Only 48 NCAA Division I
players this season are shorter than
5-10.
Although he may not get many rebounds or win jump shots very often ,
his quickness has brought him to the
top of assists in the Atlantic Coast
Conference (5.4 a game). Webb can
jump 42 inches vertically, and has
dunked the ball' -' four times ' this
season. He averages over 9 points a
game for North Carolina State.
Players like Webb are the exception
instead of the rule, of course. This
year , the percentage of Division I
players shorter than 5-10 has shrunk
to approximatel y 1.3 On 1969-70 it
was 2.2 percent).:
Other p layers who have broken the
mold in the past are 5-9 Calvin Murphy f/o m Niagara, who is fourth
among all-time NCAA scorers with
33.1 points a game , and Mike Warren
from thie University of California-Los
Angeles , a starter on national championship teams in 1967 and 1968.
Although the tendency among coir
tege recruiters is to go after the tallest
players, shorter people often get the
second or third look. In Webb's'case,
he proved himself by leading Midland
(Texas) Junior College to -the junior
college national champ ionshi p. Then
he received offers from a handful of
universities.

. Realizing that selling *counterfeit
diplomas is a large business with
thousands of "graduates," the Federal
Bureau of Investigation is cracking
down on "diploma mill" officials.
The fraudulent "colleges" bring in
millions .of dollars, says Special
Agent Allen Ezell of the bureau 's
Charlotte , N.C., office. Diploma
mills being investigated vary in price
and services offered; one convicted
official allegedly, charged $700 for a
diploma , another, $500, and still
others as much as $2,700 for combined masters and doctoral degrees. The
cheapest diploma Ezell has seen was
$39.95. • '" ;.
Two types of fake diplomas are offered: counterfeit diplomas from. real ,
colleges and degrees from nonexistent,

season, the netters are again
struggling in that area . Lehigh
displayed some fine talent but not
enough to take two of the three
matches which they did.
, In the other singles action, Rob
Lario (7-10) had a short winning
streak snapped by Howard Beckman 6-1, 6-3; while Mike Penny (87>) fell to Mark Verebey 6-4, 6-2 in
the third slot.
Lario-Gibbs recorded the only
victory in the top spot after posting
a 6-4, 6:3 win. However, the teams
of Grebe-OBird and MitchellAugustine dropped 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 and
6-4, 7-5 decisions.
The doubles posed the same
problems for BU as the singles
competition. Wins were hoped for
in the second and third matches but
PSU swept in tight straight set victories.
NOTES: Following Friday
night's doubleheader,- the Huskies
traveled to the Philadelphia area
for two meets on Sunday. First, a
makeup with Haverford, then a
match with a powerful Perm squad,
ranked first in the Middle States.

The Huskies redeemed themselves the following afternoon by
claiming a 6-3. triumph over a
Lehigh squad that had been playing
tough matches with quality opponents. BU scored wins in five of
the six singles matches, headed by
impressive victories by Mitchell
and Penny to put the match away
prior to doubles.
Mitchell continued to perform
well with a 6-4, 6-3 win over a solid
Pete Pijawka and Penny tallied a 62, 6-3 score to whip Mark Nesbit.
Grebe notched his fourth straight
triumph at the fourth position by
disposing of Rich Katsoff in
straight sets 6-1, 6-1; while Gibbs
returned to the winning road by
downing Dave Smith 6-3, 6-2. Sixth
player Jere Bird battled the
blustery conditions to chalk up a 75, 6-2 for his fifth win in six outings.

Consistency Lacking
BU Netmen Split A/Ud-WeekMatches
WADE DOUGLAS
Sports Editor
Coach Burt Reese is still waiting
for his Husky netmen (9-8) to find
that much needed consistency.
Reese had hoped that his squad
would come together in mid-week
matches at Penn St. and Lehigh but
those contests only served to typify
BU's struggle as they were soundly
beaten by the Nittany Lions 8-1 but .
managed to pull out a 6-3 victory
over a tough Engineer team.
Penn St.
Going into the match at Happy
Valley, Reese was expecting the
bottom half of his lineup to string
together wins for an upset of the
Lions, who were ranked 4th in the
Middle States. However , BU
played tentatively on PSU's indoor
courts and allowed the aggressive
Lions to claim all but one of the
singles matches.
"It wasn't one of Penn St.'s better teams talent-wise but they just
came out aggressively and beat us
on guts and determination," states
the Husky mentor.
A streaking Scott Grebe (11-6)
downed Ben Shobaken at the number four spot for the lone win.
"Grebe's probably playing the best
of anybody right now," commented
Reese. The three set win , 2-6, 6-2, 63, stretched the sophomore's winning streak to three and five of six.
Fifth and sixth players Scott Gibbs (7-6) and Jere Bird (9-5) sufferd
the crucial losses of the match.
Gibbs lost to Bryan Crist by 6-4
scores and Bird dropped a 7-5, 6-3
decision to Dwayne Holtenquist.
Number one Tim Mitchell (7-10)
who is playing well as of late, gave

Individual Improvement is Spring Grid Goal
Over 60 candidates for the
Bloomsburg University football
team reported to open spring drills
as head coach George Landis and
his Huskies look to improve individually and get a jump on the
fall season when they will try to
record the school's first back-toback non-losing season since 196667.
After posting a 1-7-1 mark in 1982,
Landis and his young Huskies were
the surprise of the Pennsylvania
George Landis
Conference last season as they notched a 5-5 overall mark and 4-2 in
the PC Eastern Division.
"I'd like to prepare more of the
squad to be able to be ready for
varsity action," Landis said in explaining his spring practice objectives. "We want to improve the
quality of our depth to allow us to
actively play more people," he continued.
Like other spring drills, the team
will also concentrate on the fundamentals of blocking, tackling, as
well as me kicking game.
While giving Landis a chance to
drill the team on basics, spring
practice will also give him a chance to do some experimenting wjth
different people and positions. One
of these positions is tight end where
senior Stan Kucewicz has departed.
Sophomore Kevin Grande (6-5,
205) and senior Brian Bidelspach
(6-1, 185) were used primarily as
wideouts last season, but they,
along with former offensive guard
Kevin Trusty (6-2, 215) , will work
at the tight end spot this spring.
Grande led the team with 20
receptions for 307 yards (15.5 yards
per catch ) and two touchdowns last
year, while Bidelspach caught four
passes for 42 yards (10.5 yards per
reception) .
Returning at wide receiver for
Landis will be junior Joe Dowd (60, 165) . After sitting out the 1983
season due to a knee injury. Dowd
will be back in pads this spring. He
was Bloomsburg's leading receiver
two years ago with 30 catches for
431 yards and one touchdown.
Another returnee from knee
surgery, who will also be watched
closely in spring drills, is freshman
quarterback Jay Dedea (6-3, 200).
Dedea started Bloomsburg 's
opening game last season at Slippery Rock and completed 18 of 28
passes for 199 yards and one touchdown. The freshman was injured ,
however, in the subsequent week's
practice.
Dedea 's successor last season,
junior Mike Glovas (6-3, 195), also
returns this spring. Glovas was 80
of 178 for 890 yards and four T.D.'s
on the year and engineered the
Huskies' five victories.
In the offensive backfield, Landis
will try another move as former
outside linebacker Brian Scriven
(6-1, 195) will see action at tailback.
Scriven will add depth to a backfield anchored by sophomore Jeff
Flickner {5-il , 190) . The workhorse
of BU's ground game hi 1983,
Flickner rushed for 800 yards on
204 carries and six touchdowns. A
second team PC East selection,
Flickner had four 100-yard plus
games in his rookie season.
Landis will also get a chance to
look at transfer fullback Calvin
Robinson (6-0, 225). Robinson transferred from Saginaw Valley
where he started as a sophomore.
Landis will have several returnees on his strong offensive line.
Senior center Mike Jupina (5-10,
220) , who was named Little AllAmerica Honorable Mention and
First Team PC East along with
Second Team PC East selection
Doug DeLambo (6-5, 245), will lead
that group.
Another transfer trying to learn
the new system in the offensive line
is B. J. Swaldi (6-2, 220). Swaldi
transferred from West Chester. *
On the other side of the line of
scrimmage is where Landis has
made many of his trial moves.
