BU: Which Path To Take?

DURRELL REICHLEY
News Editor
Is BU's mission to be a liberal arts college or a more careeroriented institution? Should BU try
to present itself as a quality institution or as a good buy? With the
declining number of high school
graduates, what should BU do to
maintain full enrollment?
These were some of the questions
discussed by more than 75 administrators and faculty members
at Friday's Open Forum held at the
University Forum on the third
floor of the McCormick Human
Services Center. Admissions and
enrollment were the main topics
discussed at the Open Forum,
which featured a short presentation by Tom Cooper, dean of admissions, followed by questions
from those in attendance.
One of the major questions
brought up was whether the
school's mission was to be a liberal
arts college or a more careeroriented institution. Several
faculty members noted that
students today are more careeroriented. Students want to go to
college to get a job, one faculty
member said. Another faculty
member noted that there is more
emphasis on career education at
BU than on graduate programs and
research, which is stressed at
many liberal arts colleges. "BU
was never a liberal arts university," added another faculty member.
President Larry Jones responded
by pointing out that BU's general
education requirements of 54
semester hours are 20 hours higher
than the national average.
Another faculty member emphasized the reason BU gets so
many applicants (4 ,653 applicants
for 1100 spaces this fall ) is because
"we are a good buy ." The cost of
attending BU is about half as great
as the cost of attending a private institution in Pennsylvania. "There's
not enough money going'into the
state system of higher education,"
he added. "The quality will go
down."
In response to the claim that BU
is a "good buy" Jones remarked

that "Pennsylvania state schools
have the third highest tuition in the
nation for schools of our type (state
schools)."
"This year our major goal is
quality," Jones added.
Cooper brought up the fact that
there is a decreasing number of
high school graduating seniors in
Pennsylvania . In 1980, there were
177,000 high school graduating
seniors in Pennsylvania. In 1990,
there will only be 122,000.
Also, Pennsylvania ranks 50th in
the nation in terms of the percentage of high school students who
go to further education. In Pennsylvania, 24 percent of the people,
age 25 or older, have college experience. Only 14 percent of these
are college graduates. The national
average for people over 25 who
have college experience is 33 percent. "If we (Pa.) were at the
national average, we would have
140,000 more college students,"
Cooper noted.
"Because of this, students are
being courted today like outstanding athletes were 10 to 15
years ago," he said.
According to Cooper, at Bloomsburg, almost all of the budget is
enrollment driven. Therefore, the
admissions office is forming an admissions retention advisory council. This council will study
recruiting and admissions, student
retention, and high risk student
retention. The various committees
will be made up of both faculty and
students.
Overall, BU's retention statistics
are above average. The latest
statistics available were for the
class of 1982. 63 percent of the
students who started (in 1978)
graduated. The average national
retention rate for a similar institution is 30 percent.
Several administrators and
faculty members suggested that
the various departments help in
recruiting students.
One faculty member said, "When
you know an outstanding athlete
you call them and talk to them. You
don't wait for the admissions office

LE TTERS to the Editor
Holiday or
Holy Day?

Dear Editor ,
This past weekend (10-5 - 10-7)
was parents weekend and I would
like to express some of my anger
toward the people in charge of
picking the date of this event . This
past Friday and Saturday happened to be the holiest days of the
Jewish year, it was the holiday of
Yom Kippur.
I don't know if the people in
charge of Parerfts' Weekend know
of this holiday or not, but it upset
me to know I would not be able to
have my parents here to witness
this event. The question I am
raising is why couldn 't the people
in charge of parents' weekend pick
another weekend?
The people in charge of this event
should be more thoughtful toward
all students and parents. Events,
like parents weekend, should be
made available to everyone. But,
because of someone's lack of concern or inability to do their job

correctly this event fell on the
holiday of Yom ' Kippur. I would
personally like to know the reason
for holding parents ' weekend this
past weekend , because 'I would
have loved to have my parents here
with me. But that was impossible
and it is very annoying to me.
Gary Kerstein
Editor 's Not?

Editor 's Note : The incident of
holding parents weekend on the
holiday of Yom Kippur was in very
poor judgment of the University.
However, due to the timing of the
semester and Homecoming in two
weeks, the University needed time
to prepare adequately for both
weekend events. Many people in
this world are not familiar with the
Jewish religion not its customs ,
practices or holidays. A little insight could have prevented the
Jewish students from missing
either the holiday or parent' s
weekend. Now that the University
is aware of the problem that it
created , I am sure matters will be
taken to correct the problems in the
future.

Sober Yet
Silly
Dear Editor ,
I am writing to comment on the
article in Wednesday 's (10-3) Voice
on the social alternatives to
drinking. I was glad to see this
opinion (or fact) expressed. Too often I have heard the statement
"There's nothing to do in Bloomsburg but drink. " I think that Wednesday 's article proves this to be
false. Also, I don 't think that we
can always expect to be entertained by someone else. I am as
guilty as anyone with this expectation. I like the entertainment
to be provided for me. But the fact
remains that there are over 6000 individuals at BU all looking for
some entertainment and each one
is capable of creating their own fun
experiences. Experiences which
don't have to include alcohol.
For example, the best time tha t
I've ever had at a college party was
one where nobody drank. About ten

people got together and had a dinner where everyone brought
something. Afterwards we didn't
have anything planned to do and
somehow a game of hide-and-seek
evolved. The game went on for over
three hours. Is that immature?
Yes, maybe it is, but we all had a
blast. So to reinforce Wednesday 's
article once more : Drink if you
want to drink , but if you want to do
something else...do something else.

leading male character , Tony Esposito attempts to capture his bride
through the postal service. Much coorespondehce is exchanged between
he and his love — Rosabella. Throughout the show many twists and turns
occur in their relations which add an extra-ordinary spark to this bizzarre
tale.
According to Director Hitoshi Sato, "This musical offers a natura l
fussion of song and acting, unlike other musicals. "
The costumer for the show, Karen Mackes, recently designed the
costumes for the "Ice Wolf" , which was a success.
Bill O'Donnell will again apply his talents to the scenery as he did in
"Ice Wolf" and "Once Upon a Mattress. "
BU hired a choreographer from Penn State University .- Dr. Wendy
Miller will be conducting the orchestra and directing the musical rehersals, which will begin around October 22.
Sato is looking for talented actors, singers and dancers. He has three
female and nine male roles to fill along with many chorus openings. He
hopes to cast 15 men and 15 women for the show.
When auditioning, dancers should be dressed appropriately . Singers
are permitted to audition acapella , or with their own or the university 's
accompanist.

A memorial service for Percival
R. Roberts III, a former chairperson of the Bloomsburg University art department and author of
seven books of poems, was held in
Carver Hall on Sunday at 4 p.m.
Roberts, 48, died from cancer
Wednesday at the Bloomsburg
Hospital.
Dr. Barbara Strohman, current
chairperson of the art department,
said, "It was Roberts' nature to offer constant encouragement to
anybody ." Strohman added that
she, as well as anyone who knew
Roberts, admired how he maintained his spirit and enthusiasm
even during the later stages of his
illness.
Roberts was chairperson of the
department from 1968 to 1983. He
received his bachelor and master
degree in art from the University of
Delaware and his doctorate from
Illinois State University .
The University of Delaware
recently honored Roberts, who served as Delaware's ninth port
laureate, by naming him one of its
54 most prominent alumni.
He h a s a l s o r e c e i v e d
Distinguished teaching and
Academic Service Awards from
Pennsy lvania and is listed in Who 's
Who in the East , Who 's Who in
American Art and Contemporary
Authors. Roberts has been a consultant for the Governor 's School
for the Arts since 1975i
Besides requesting a grant from

the Pennsylvania Council on the
Arts to support the bronze
exhibition by William Bradley,
which is scheduled for Oct. 15 Nov . 15 at the Haas Center, Roberts
also designed the brochure for the
exhibit.
A founding member of the Board
of Directors of the Bloomsburg
Theatre Ensemble, he also served
on the Bloomsburg Town
Beautification Committee and was
a life member of the National Art
Education Association.
Dr. Richard D. Alderfer , chairman of the communications studies
department, said, "Bob was a
scholar and a poet — but most of all
— a humanitarian;"
During the past summer Roberts
completed his most recent work,
Moonscap-Assemblages and Incantations : A Homage to the
American Indian. " The project involved assemblages made of wood ,
bones and skulls and incantations
in verse form. The poetry served as
a verbal means of expression
which acknowledged his own
"roots" as a native American.
During the service Roberts'
brother, Stephen Roberts , said that
he was proud of Percival's abilities
even when they were teenagers.
"Roberts had a sense of joy , and he
thoroughly enjoyed people of all
ages," Dr. Strohman said , he was
never at a loss of words, and he
always enjoyed embellishing a
good story."

Costa , a junior English-political
science student , worked as a
waitress- and counterperson at Circle Pizza , Ocean City , N.J. She
says, "I was surprised at the uncleanliness. Employees would stick
their hands in jars and pull out
food."
Stremic made about $2000 total
and saved $1000. Costa on the other
hand saved about $300-$400.
Both students were allowed to
keep tips. Stremic's were unusual.
She says, "I got food, powder,
shampoo, cakes , wine , and
sometimes even money ."
Costa made the usual kind of tips
— money. She says, *'We had jars
at home which we threw our tips in
and that's usually where we got our
entertainment money."
Stremic worked from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. although, some days she
didn 't have to stay until 2 p.m. She
says, "Sometimes I worked quickly
and got done by noon or 1 p.m. and
then I could leave and go to the
beach."
Costa 's hours varied from either
the 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. shift or the 10
p.m. to 5 a.m. shift. She says,

When they moved down both
women said they knew only a few

to meet a lot of guys. I usually went
out with people from work." She
also commented tha t she met a lot
of people from Finland, Ireland,
and Germany who came to the U.S.
to work this summer. She says ,
"you think of them as foreigners,
but when you get to know them
they 're just like Americans."
Costa says she met a lot of men.
She also commented that they had
a lot of visits from people they
knew from college.
Both women found the summer
to be a great learning experience.
Stremic says , "I learned how to
budget money. I had to figure out
what went to the bank , car, food,
and entertainment each week."
Costa also says she learned to
budget money. She says she also
learned to make Italian food such
as pizza , stromboli , and calzones.
Stremic and Costa both say "it
was the best summer of my life. I
want to do it again next ye'ar ."

In a game of music trivia , most
students could easily name songs
by popular rock, punk, or even
country singers. However , naming
a popular jazz or classical tune
may be more difficult for some , but
probably not for Dan Fickes.
Fickes is student manager of
WBSC-AM, the closed-circuit radio
station located in the Kehr Union.
Fickes says that being a disc
jockey exposed him to a variety of
music. "It has widened my musical
outlook ," he says. He explains that
before he became a DJ , he would
only listen to rock music. Now, he
admits that he will listen to any
kind of music except country .
Fickes, who is from Camp Hill ,
PA, is a senior majoring in Mass
Communications. He is concentrating in the areas of radio , tv ,
and film. Fickes first became interested in deejaying when he
came to BU. In his freshman year ,
he deejayed parties through WBSC.
This semester starts his second
year as station manager. Fickes
admits that he is now more involved with the business end of the
station than deejaying.
However, Fickes still enjoys
spinning the tunes. He works parttime as a DJ at Lemmons. He says

that it is "fun to watch everyone
having a good time."
In addition , Fickes is a member
of a local band , Trop-X. He plays
keyboards and does vocals. "It is a
progressive rock and dance band,"
he says. The band plays at many
fra ternity functions and will now be
playing at Lemmons every other
Monday.
Besides devoting much of his
time to WBSC, his job, and his
band , Fickes is also vice-president
of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Also, Fickes' responsibilities will
increase in the near future as he
takes on the task of managing the
FM station , as well as WBSC-AM.
The FM station , located in the
new McCormick building, is
scheduled to begin operating next
semester, according to Fickes . The
requested call letters for the
station are WBUQ, although they
have not been approved yet. Its
frequency will be 91.1 MHz and its
signal will carry for a radius of 25
miles from Berwick to Danville.
Fickes hopes that the new station
will be an "alternative music source" for BU students . He says that
the newest music will be played
and "BU students will be able to
hear it here first " "Once its killed
on the airwaves, we won't play. it

Stremic lived in a rented room
which ran her about $40 a week.
Since she lived in a rented room ,
she had to eat out . She spent about

She says, "My mom came down in

Costa lived in a house with eight

Heliport Attendant: Not Your Average Job

MARY COSTA
Staff Writer
Patti Gettel is one of the many
typical college students who
worked at the shore this summer.
But the j ob Patti had was a bit
more uncommon. She did not work
in a supermarket , restaurant, or on
the boardwalk. Patti worked in a
heliport.
For three months, Gettel worked
at the Germa nia Heliport, Absecon, near Atlantic City. Her job
mainly consisted of refueling
helicopters in-between stops and
restocking food and cocktail items.
The Germania Heliport is mainly,
a refuel terminal for casino
helicopters, handling helicopters
from Resorts International, Golden
Nugget, and Caesars casinos. In
addition to those helicopters, Germania also works with Damin, an
independent helicopter company in
northern New York state .
Gettel admits that she had no
previous piloting or repair experience. "I had never even been
up in a aircraft-helicopter before,"
she said. She was fortunate enough
to get her job through a friend who
knew the heliport's repairman.
"The heliport s repairman was
on call 24 hours a day so I never had
to be experienced with any of the
repair tools or anything, except a
transceiving radio so that I could
receive calls from the pilots who

anymore," he adds.
In addition to playing the latest
new wave and rock sounds,
musical shows will be produced,
according to Fickes. A- classical,
jazz , Christian rock , country, and
rock classic show are planned.
Also, three syndicated music
programs will be carried by the
new station. These include : "Rock
Over London, " the newest music
coming out of London; "In Concert," live performances of various
groups ; and "Off the Record, " interviews with different bands.
The new station will also carry
"News Blimp, " produced by the
National News Service. Fickes
says tha t it will be aired every hour
for five minutes, followed by five
mintues of local and campus news.
Fickes probably doesn 't have the
time to use the knowledge he has
gained from working at WBSC for
such trivial things as music trivia.
However, his experience and
knowledge will be am asset to him
as he pursues a career in the mass
media. After graduating, Fickes
plans to move to Calfiornia where
he hopes to work in management
and production end of ty and film..

wanted to come in and refuel. We
rarely had any problems with the
helicopters, anyway, but since I
worked alone, it was good to know
that someone was on call in cas.e I
would need help."
Gettel would also occasionally
wash and vacuum the helicopters
in her overtime hours. "It wasn't
the nicest thing to do, especially
when they'd call me at night, but
the overtime pay was great. It
would be worth it in the end."
"The only drawback," she says,
"was that I didn't get any tips. But
the hours were so good that I got to
lay out in the sun in the morning,
and I got home early enough to enjoy the shore's great night life."
Although she didn't get any tips,
she says tha t she once saw a pilot
flying for Tom Jones and Sheena
Easton get a $500 tip.
"Tom Jones and Sheena Easton
were the only two stars I ever got to
really meet, but I would occasionally get to meet high-rollers
who were either going to or coming
back from the casinos," she said.
"It was a pretty exclusive
heliport because of the customers it
handled," Gettel noted. "For instance, if a passenger from a
casino would call for helicopter service, it was the job of the casino's
transportation manager to make
sure that the client had at least a
$15,000 betting standard. If not,
helicopter service would not be extended to them."
But Gettel says that she had fun
just watching the people deplane
and get into their limousine, even if
all she would do would be to refuel
their helicopter, which was very

similar to pumping gas into a car,
except that the helicopters would
use an average of about 60 gallons
of gas, priced at $1.75 a gallon.
What she did was called "hot
refueling." It's called that because
the pilot allows the blades to
remain turning during the
refueling stage.
"It was windy with the blades
turning all the time, and especially
treacherous on rainy days," Gettel
said. "What made it worse is that I
had to yell over the noise of the
blades to the pilot who had to yell
back because of the headphones
that I had to wear." The headphones insured her hearing would
not be impaired.
Since Gettel is a junior majoring
in business, her summer job at
Germania Heliport didn 't give her
any useful experience in her major
field of work, but rather implanted
an interest in a new hobby .
"Since I went for helicopter rides
occasionally, I'd get to learn about
the helicopter more each time,"
Gettel stated. "The pilots would
always teach me something new
about flying a helicopter . Near the
end of the summer , I became pretty interested in learning how to
1

operate a helicopter .''
Patti says that she would
probably be interested in working
at the Germania Heliport again ,
next summer. "The pay was good
and I had fun. And , who knows? I
just may be the one to fly a helicopter into Germania one day."

Getting the
maximum
financial aid

Campus Digest News Service

By knowing a few inside tricks
before filling out those financial aid
forms, students can increase the
money they receive for next year.
Aid packages, as determined by
colleges, are mostly based on formulas using the family's assets and income (unless the student can meet
non-dependent status). Robert
Leider's Don 't Miss Out ($3.25, Octameron Press) has a number of suggestions, including these:
1. Shift assets from student to
parent categories, as parental goods
are valued at a lower percentage . 2.
Decrease your assets' value—with
cash, purchase something. 3. Shift as
many individual assets as possible into the business category; business
assets have a lower valuation.
The idea, of course, is to beat them
at their own game by making the applicant look as needy as possible
within established legal limits.

Step into another dimension with The Theater Of Illusion as Robinson 's Mysteries
conjures up an amazing stage presentation of psychic illusion and visual hallucination
that The New York Daily Netvs says can "dazzle even the most skeptical". Eerie psychic
events, astounding demonstrations of premonition and telepathy, clearly impossible
illusions, and amusing moments in the supernatural are all part of this dramatic
theatrical entertainment—and make it clear why The New York Times calls Richard
Robinson a "master illusionist".

Sell Yourself To Opportunity

STACY TARAGNA
Voice Contributor
Hard work and preparation are the key elements for successful employment, Tom Da vies, director of the Career Development and
Placement Center told the Mass Communication Club members at their
meeting Monday night.
"Arts and science majors have a tougher time finding jobs because
companies don 't come to campus to recruit students ," said Davies, '.'they
may have only one or two openings for Mass Communication and they
can get people off the streets to fill them. "
But students can increase their chance of finding a job by working and
preparing for it. Davies offered several suggestions to getting a jump on
the job market. He recommended starting a file with the Career Development Center. This includes filling out a cover sheet, a release form and
getting five recommendations. The folder is kept on file for six years at
the Placement Office and is available for inspection by prospective employers.
Davies also advised students to begin resume preparation. "Get involved with campus activities . Gain work experience , training and
responsibility ," stressed Davies.
A good resume won 't necessarily guarantee you a job. You must know
the proper way to look for a job. Davies offered several approaches lor
beginning the job hunt.
He suggested actively pursuing three companies. Research the company , write them a letter and send your resume. Phone them and talk to
people employed by that company.
Pound the pavement and knock on doors. Visit companies and get past
the secretaries to the people who can hire you , like the personnel director
and division heads.
Develop a network system of contacts. "Twenty-four percent of the
jobs are obtained through this way, " Davies said. "Another 24 percent of
the jobs are received through the extended network system — people you
know who know other people
Females and minorities have a problem with the network system. They

have not yet learned the value of it or how to use it. "White males understand it . Females and minorities must strengthen their network
system," Davies said.
Only five percent of all jobs are acquired through newspaper ads , so
students shouldn 't rely solely on them. Use a private placement agency
and the college placement office in addition to the newspaper.
Students also should not ignore professional journals and career fairs.
"The greatest advantage Mass Communication students have over other
students is their ability to communicate. You are trained in that area , so
use it to get yourself a job , " Davies emphasized.
Davies also discussed the importance of being a desirable candidate for
employment. In addition* to having good grades, work experience and
leadership skills, a prospective employee must exhibit poise , personality
and enthusiasm . "You are the reason you get a job ," said Davies. "An
employer looks at your resume, but you sell yourself. "
Selling yourself means presenting a positive image, which includes
dressing properly. "You want to make yourself as neat as possible, " said
Davies. It may mean dressing up in uncomfortable shoes, but that may be
the difference between employment and unemployment .
*
Davies offered some encouraging advice for Mass Communication
students. He said to be ready for anything — their communication ability
allows them to sell themselves. "You can do anything you want as a Mass
Communication major. Every field needs you if you 're good at communicating. "

Pigskin Pickins

MIKE ALBRIGHT .
Sports Editor
A definite leader has appeared
out of the Pickins crew With the
.rest of the crew remaining around
the .500 mark . I rest at the top of
the heap with an 18-12 (60 percent)
log while Sarah and Rob floundered
at 5-5 last week and are tied at 14-16
(46.7 percent). Jerry Garz , our
guest last week, finished at 7-3 and
raised the guest's record at 12-8
(also 60 percent).
This week, uur guest is the
Voice's Managing Editor Lori
Leonard whose selection on this
week's panel is a matter of her
using her authority to obtain a
guest's spot, so here we go with
week four's picks.
MIKE ALBRIGHT — Last week I
had an excellent record at 8-2 and
jumped but to a big lead with an 1812 overall record. Another week
like the last one would really boost
the old percentage.
. In the biggest college game of the
year so far in the South, Texas and
Oklahoma square off in a tough
ma tch-up. Also at stake , other than
bragging rights, is the No..1 spot in
the nation. With all of the previous
No. 1 teams falling, I've got to go
with Oklahoma 28, Texas 27.
Auburn travels to Florida St. to
take on the Seminoles. FSU is j ust
off a last second tie with Memphis
St. I'll take FSU at home 21-17.
Iowa invades Purdue in a Big 10
game. This is a tough pick but call
it Iowa 21, Purdue 14 in a slight upset. Illinois and Ohio State hook up
in Columbus where the Buckeyes
are always tough , plus they're in
the top ten. Ohio State 35, Illinois
24.
Locally, the Huskies visit Millersville to face the Gene Carpenter 's
Marauders. George Landis' squad,
hungry for a trip to the State Game
in Hershey, will view this game as
a springboard to the playoffs and
will drop the Marauders 17-14 i n a
tough defensive game.
Also, a tough IUP team, both offensively and defensively, takes on
a strong defense in Clarion, but the
Golden Eagles' offense is flatering .
Both teams are 4-1 but IUP will

prevail 38-27.
Viewing the pro ranks, Atlanta
hosts the NY Giants with the Giants
coming off a Monday Night loss to
San Francisco. Most teams don't
do well after a Monday Night
game, but NY isn't as good as
many believe anyway, so call it
Atlanta 35, NY 20. San Francisco,
also off a Monday Night game, will
host the Pittsburgh Steelers, who
are 3-3 and still have a 2 game lead
in their division. S.F. is due for a
loss, but will squeak out a narrow

24-23 victory over the Steelers.
San Diego will beat up on Kansas
City and Todd Blackledge.
Chargers 38, Chiefs 17. Dallas,
South America 's team, will hook up
with Washington. I see the Skins
dealing the Cocaine Kids a
crushing 28-20 loss.
SARAH HACKFORTH — Now
for my fourth week of Pickins. I
think I'm getting a little better. My
new system seems to be working. I
won't be able to.reveal this system
until the last game of the season.
I'll giv*e you a hint though, it's very
scientific.
The first game this week looks to
be the toughest yet. With Texas and
Oklahoma ranked one and two
respectively, I don 't know if my
system will work too well. Too bad!
Texas as the number one ranked
team will prevail 34-28.
Florida State will hold off Auburn
16-10. 17th ranked Purdue will have
no trouble with Iowa, 37-9. Ohio
State will definitely triumph over
Illinois. I knew a guy that played
for the Buckeyes so they will
definitely win 24-15. I told you my
system was scientific.
I know I'm very biased on this
next pick, but so far I haven't been
wrong,.so guys don't.let there be a
first time. Bloomsburg may have a
little trouble with Millersville, but
in the end the Huskies shall prevail
21-10. IUP and Clarion are tough
since I know nothing about either of
them. Doing it scientifically again ,
IUP will come out on top 24-17.
On to the pros. NY Giants will nip
Atlanta 24-23. San Diego will not
have any trouble with Kansas City
handing them a 21-7 loss.
Considering I hate Dallas, they
will definitely lose to the Redskins
25-13. Pittsburgh and San Francisco give me the biggest dilemma
since I like the Steelers, but know
the 49ers will win. So I pick San
Francisco 23-14.
ROB FLANAGAN — Give the
Longhorns, who should think about
moving to the Meadowlands , the
homefield a d v a n t a g e over
Oklahoma ,.27-24. Who is Auburn?
Florida State 30, Auburn 9. Even
though Iowa is better than they 've
let on so far , I'm still going to pick
Purdue, 17-12. I'd like to see them
lose but they won't, Ohio State 24,
Illinois 10.
With a couple of busloads of
Huskies in attendance, Bloomsburg won't have any choice other
than to kill Millersville. Call it
Bloomsburg 30, Millersville 7. IUP
gave us Jim Haslett and will give
Clarion headaches . IUP 21, Clarion
10.
Even though they 're sagging
you still have to like the Giants

New York 20, Atlanta 9. Todd
Blackledge threw a snowball in my
direction during Penn State's
Sugar Bowl victory parade.
There's no way a fat , bearded man
could throw harder. K.C. 35, San
Diego 27. Dallas is an old man and
Washington is a wild hoodlum.
Redskins 30, Cowboys 7. Pittsburgh
is awful. San¦ Francisco
38, Steelers

Both Teams Undefeated In Division Play

BU Journeys to Millers ville for a Toug h PC Contest

MIKE ALBRIGHT
Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg University football team looks to take another step
toward the Pennsylvania Conference Playoffs by downing
Millersville
tomorrow
in
Biemesderfer Stadium on the
Marauder Campus:
The Huskies, off to their best
start since 1970, look to up their
record to 5-1 and remain undefeated in the Eastern Conference. Millersville, also undefeated but with a tie (1-0-1) ,
hopes to keep pace with West
Chester (1-0-0) with a victory.
All-American linebacker Frank
Sheptock earned the second
straight ECAC "Defensive Player
of the Week" honor for BU,
following Tony Woods' award one
week earlier .
Sheptock, with 17 tackles (11
unassisted), a fumble recovery,
and a deflected pass, remains the
team's defensive leader with 103#
points. Tony Woods recorded his
fifth interception in five games to
rank among the nation's leaders.
Jim Tyson earned the Berwick
Forge and Fabricating "Defensive
Player of the Game" with eight
tackles, a fumble recovery, a
deflected pass, and an interception.
The Millersville defense leads
the PC in total offense given up
with an average'of only 215.6 yards
per game. BU is second and allows

230.8 yards a game.
Bloomsburg got off to a slow
start offensively but a strong
second half put the game away.
Quarterback Mike Glovas threw
his first two interceptions of the
year during the game but had a fine
performance nonetheless. Jay
Dedea also came in and played well
against Mansfield.
Jeff Flickner took over the team
lead in rushing with 346 yards, including eight carries for.101 yards,
the majority-of them on a 74-yard
touchdown run late in the second
quarter.
Offensive tackle Doug DeLambo
earned the Berwick Forge and
Fabricating "Offensive Player of
the Game . "
Running backs Rick Stonewall,
needing just 260 yards to become
the all-time Millersville ground
gainer, and Troy Smith, who has
only been thrown for one loss this
season, lead the Millersville attack.
Quarterback Gregg Caplan has
hit on 56 percent of his passes, most
of them going to Troy Smith and
split end Anthony Smith.
This game shapes up as a tough
battle in the trenches between the
two best defenses in the conference. Offensively the Huskies
have the edge but either way, the
game is going to be a low scoring,
defensive affair.

Bruce OeLong

Jeff Flickner is brought down in the open field by a Mansfield defender. Flickner had 101 yards on eight
carries with the majority of that coming on a 74 yard touchdown run late in the second quarter for BU's
first score.

Record at 7-0

Huskies Shutout Red Raiders

SARAH HACKFORTH
Sports Editor
With another flick of the wrist ,
the field hockey team upped its
wining streak to 18 Saturday afternoon . Shippensburg could not
hold off the swarming attack of the
visiting Huskies in the 2-0 decision.
The first ten minutes of the game
saw BU dominate, forcing the Red
Raiders goalie to make diving
saves. The Huskies cooled off for
the rest of the half not making

BU has given up only two
goals this season for an
average of .29 goals per
game.

Steve Rotubaugh

Linda Hershey attempts a pass upfield as Carol Lorup looks, on. BU downed Shippensburg last Saturday
2-0, and will be in action tomorrow at hprne versus Wilkes.

many attempts at the goal while
allowing Shippensburg access to
take shots at BU goalie, Lori Guitson.
After the scoreless first half the
Huskies scored at 4:55 of the
second half. Karen Hertzler scored
her second goal of the season with
an assist from Lynn Hurst. It was
Hurst's first assist of the season.
Ten minutes later Hurst again
recorded an assist, this time to
senior Linda Hershey. It was the
senior's third goal of the year.
With the goals of the second half ,

the Huskies again fell back into bad
form allowing the Red Raiders
numerous opportunity at shots on
goal. Guitson was forced to make
eight saves compared to previous
games where only one or two have
been necessary.
With the Huskies shooting 31
shots at her , Gayle Berrier, the
Red Raider's goalie, was forced to
make 13 saves. Guitson was shot at
15 times having to make 8 saves .
This game marks the sophomores
sixth appearance in the goal for the
Huskies .
Diane Shields is the top scorer for
the Huskies so far this season . The
sophomore leads with seven goals
while three players tied for second
with three a piece. BU has given up
just two goals in the past seven
games. With j ust four games left
they must play with the same intensity in order to get as high a
seed as possible. This would allow
them the home field advantage and
the chance to win a championship
for the second consecutive year
and third in four years.
The Huskies will put their undefeated record on the line Saturday. They host Wilkes College and
with the football team on the road
at Millersville they hope to play in
front of a big home crowd.
