"Professor wanted to teach at
local university. Must be able to interact easily with co-workers and
students. Degree and experience
necessary. Apply immediately."
This example of a classified ad is
one of the many steps taken to hire
faculty members. As students, you
schedule courses, buy books and attend classes, but did you ever wonder how the professor at the front of
your classroom actually got hired?
At a workshop on search and
screen procedures and interview
techniques held on Qct. 11, 18
faculty members learned ways to

Pat Patterson, from the Personnel
Office at Waller, presented their
speeches to representatives from
the English, geology, sociology,
business computer science,
physics, communication disorders
and nursing departments.
After a brief history of
regulations and policies of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employment, LeinwandJones stressed the two major goals
for the program, "We want to
prevent discrimination in the
future and eliminate the memory
of discrimination from the past."
Leinwand Jones explained that
she wanted to make the campus
community a diverse environment,
yet still hire the best qualified candidate for the job. "Most students
have not had an opportunity to interact with people from different
races, religions and cultures; we
want to give them that opportunity.
We want our applicants to be
academic role models as well,"
Leinwand-Jones said.
In order to hire such people,
departments must follow certain
procedures. The first step is
creating job advertisements and
a n n o u n c e m e n t s . The advertisements may be for national,
searches (for full-time, administrative or management
positions) or regional and local
searches (for part-time, one
semester, or emergency positions).
National search advertisements
are placed in journals, university
n e w s l e t t e r s or n a t i o n a l
newspapers. Regional and local
searches are placed in local
newspapers and university
newsletters. Job announcements
are more detailed and are sent out
to colleges, universities, alumni
and personal acquaintances.
However, both the advertisements
and announcement must say that
"Bloomsburg University is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer."

Mad about Floyd

The following is a copy of a letter
sent to Jimmy Gilliand, Assistant
Director of Student' Activit ies.
Mr. Gilliand:
On Saturday evening, October
29th, I choseto attend the 7:00 P.M.
showing of "Pink Floyd - The Wall"
and the video dance which began at
9:00 P.M. Upon arriving at Multi-A
for the movie, I was told that the
movie had been cancelled due to a
conflict with the video dance. I immediately asked the student who
was apparently in charge; "Why?"
His response was that time was
needed to set up and test the sound
equipment for the dance. He appologizedfor the inconvenience but
said there was absolutely rib way
the moviecould be shown intil 11:30
P.M., after the dance was over.
Now I'm asking you, WHY? !
WHY wasn't this problem
foreseenwhen the two events were
originally scheduled? WHY was
the decision to change the
showtimes made sometime (apparently) Saturday afternoon, with
no opportunity to provide advance
notice to the students who were interested in seeing the movie. WHY
wasn't the Multi-A simply shut off
from the rest of the Union area
being usedfor the movie? WHY do

I feel as if the Program Board
doesn't really care about what the
students want?
Yes, I'm mad - very mad. This is
the third time since September that
I've made plans to attend an event
sponsored by the Program Board
only to find that the program is
either :
1. Cut off in the middle ( Vertigo)
2. Begun at least 30 minutes late
(Against All Odds)
3. Cancelled (Pink Floyd - the
Wall)
Perhaps a deriiand for a partial
refund of my Community Activities
fee would be appropriate. After all,
I did pay that irioney so that I could
enjoy a variety of events on campus (most of which, I must add, are
excellent),
I know that a lack of participation is a problem with events
scheduled on the weekends, but if
you don't fulfill your promises of
entertainment, why should I make
an effort to attend and support your
programs? Please remember,
there are some of us . out, there

screened on the basis of their
educational background ex^
perience, ability to teach specific
courses and " letters of recommendation.
After candidates are screened,
the ones chosen are granted an interview. The number of candidates
to be interviewed depends on the
quality of the applicants , number
of women and minorities, their
proximities and their winningness
to be interviewed.
For final recommendation candidates must give a seminar , class
presentation or open forum where
they not only show their mastery of
subject matter, but respond to
questions and encourage good communication with students.
Leinwand-Jones explained that
to complete the search all the information—documentation search
form and documentation screening
form—must be forwarded to people
reviewing the search which include
the Dean . Vice President and

Director of Affirmative Action.
Pat Patterson then spoke on interviewing the applicant! Patterson explained that an interviewer's primary goal is to
gather information about the person and to inform that person about
B.U.'s environment as well. She
continued to talk about interviewing techniques such as
situation questions, open questions,
and the applicant's evaluation of
their own strengths and
weaknesses.
When discussing interviewing
errors, Patterson stressed that by
comparing applicants , not
preparing questions from their
resumes or avoiding questions that
might be important for final
decisions, the interviewer may
make a poor selection. By making
a poor selection, students, faculty
members and other staff would be
offended and cheated personally
and ,

educationally.

Living in a college atmosphere

MARY CHUPKAI
Staff Writer
Christine De Melfi, 10, is an
average fifth grade student who
likes to rollerskate, play with barbies, and watch television, her one
distinction is that she lives among
college students in Northumberland Hall, a male dormitory.
Christine lives with her father ,
Joe De Melfi, residence director
and assistant football coach, and
her mother, Ann De Melfi, a
Business Education teacher in
Montoursville.' They have lived on
campus for eight years, having
moved here from Berwick.
The De Melfi's have found living
on campus quite pleasant.
Christine likes the easy access to
the library and the gameroom. She
also makes use of the Swimming
pools arid the bowling alleys. One of
her favorite pastimes is skating
and if you have ever been in Northumberland you may have seen
her skating around in the lobby.
Christine has made many friends
on campus. She knows alot of football players, is treated like a little
sister by many of the men who live
in Northumberland and she still
keeps in touch with former babysit-

ters who have long since
graduated.
Mr. and Mrs. De Melfi have
agreed that living on campus has
matured Christine very fast. Mr.
De Melfi commented, "When she
first started school, upon entering
the classroom, she said, "I don't
know if I'll like it here with all these
little kids."
Christine shares the same
feelings with some college students. First of all, the few times she
has eaten at the Commons has
taught her to appreciate home
cooked meals. She enjoys the same
kind of music as most students,
such as Billy Idol and Duran
Duran. Mrs. De Melfi says
Christine even watches the style
changes in clothing and does her
best to keep her wardrobe
modified.
While Christine has much in common with the college students, she
can still relate to her younger friends. She is often seen walking
around campus with her friends
and her cabbage patch doll, Cecile
Nicole. She also likes animals. She
has a hamster named Cocoa, and a
tropical fish named Abraham.
When asked about the feeling of
security on campus, Mr. De Melfi
said, "I probably feel more secure
living on campus then I would
living off. If she was alone and
anything happened here, someone
would always be nearby to help."
The only problem Mrs. De Melfi
can foresee if they stayed on campus for a long time would be that

maybe Christine would grow tired
of the whole campus scene. Nevertheless, Christine replied^ "I '^vsirit

to more suggestionsion ways to

The coordinating Committee of

dishonesty. Cheating on exams will
result in an E for that assignment.
The policy will be discussedfurther

Surfing gnarly waves a way of life
JOHN MAIZE

Shane Stock races out of the
house clad in worn, tan bermudas,
a neon blue Hawaiian print shirt,
and a pair of funky twtf-tone Vans.
You know the ones — powder blue
and pink, with the little sharks all
around the edges of the soles. He
checks the straps on his car racks
to make sure his surf boards are
secure. They are : Steck is ready to
grab some waves. Unfortunately,
the waves are over four hours away
from his home outside Jerseytown,
PaIt seems a bit unusual that a
senior, majoring in journalism,
from the heart of rural Pennsylvania, could be involved in
something as remote as surfing.
Steck credits his parents for his
initial interest in the sport.
"My parents vacationed at the
shore every summer. I used to go
down to 7th street and hang out a
lot just to watch these guys surf. It
was something that I always wanted to try, but I really didn't know
where to start," said Steck.
Steck told his parents about his
interest, and both thought he
should give it a try. Steck wasn't
too sure about the idea at first, but
his parents persisted, and in the
summer of 1978 he rode on his first
board.
"It was a rental board, with no
wax on it." Steck recalled. "I
couldn t even sit on it, it was so slippery. I was out there trying to be
cool, falling off my board . I looked
like a real kook. All the locals kept
giving me these glares all afternoon," he said.
Even though he hated it, and
didn't get a ride, he stuck with it all
afternoon. That was all of the surfing for 1978, but that was enough to
get him hooked. The following summer, after high school graduation ,
Steck and a friend started traveling
to the shore to "bum around."

"One Friday night we were all
sitting around down on the front
steps of the pizzaria , watching the
cars rust and the grass grow, and
seeing how far we could spit. That' s
no lie, I have some pretty red neck
friends, and that's what we were
doing ; seeing how far we could
spit! Some fun , right. Well, this

Somej>eople said they would put
you in jail or make you pay a fine.
We didn 't know what they would
do, so we picked the most remote
place we could find and crashed for
the night. It was great. There's absolutely nothing more peaceful
than sleeping up in the dunes ;
falling asleep to the rhythm of the

friend of mine started talking about
the shore and the girls and all, and
pretty soon I suggested that we all
go there, because it was certainly
better than here. And he said,
"Sure, when?" And I said, "Now!"
And everyone there looked at us
like were were nuts, but that's what
we did. We grabbed our sleeping
bags and our swim suits and piled
in my car and left," remembered
Steck.
They all pooled their money for
gas and food, and came up with
about twelve dollars each, but between three of them that was more
than enough. They arrived late that
night and ended up sleeping on the
beach, tucked up in the dunes , in an
out-of-the-way place. That was the
start of a tradition of beach bumming that continues to this day. .
"We had heard stories about the
cops kicking you off of the beach if
they found you sleeping there.

waves. Once we found out that as
long as we were discreet; no one
would bother us. We slept on the
beach all of the time," he said.
This worked out fine for quite a
while, but there were some snags to
bumming in Ocean City, Steck
recalls.
"The real reason we bummed,
was to keep it cheap so we could
keepN coming down. We had the
place wired ; still do. Once the
season came into full swing, our
sleeping grounds got over run with
drunk love birds from Atlantic
City, who'd come stumbling onto us
looking for a secluded place to
make out When that happened, we
started pulling the "campground
sleazy manuever ," where we'd
wait 'till the guys at this campground would go to sleep, and
we'd sneak in the back route, find a
spot and either sleep in the back of
the wagon or crash on the ground.
In the mornings we'd be up at dawn
and out the gate before anyone got
wise," said Stock.
There were other economical
ways of getting by on a limited income recalled Steck. Like sneaking
showers at crowded rooming
houses to avoid paying a bath
house, or the infamous low budget
liverwurst lunch special.
"We had it down to $15 a piece for
two people. For $30 two people
could live at the shore all weekend.
That included paying for gas, tolls,
and meals. For lunch , we'd get a
half pound of liverwurst, six rolls,
and some drink mix. Six rolls
meant two sandwiches each ; for
lunch, dinner, and breakfast the
next morning ; Unless some girls.

working on the boardwalk took pity
on us and gave us some free food,"
ooirl StfiCk

After the third trip down to the
shore, Steck bought his first board.
It wasn 't pretty. It was the
cheapest thing he could, find.
"I bought this 6'8" Catri single
fin. It was pretty wasted, with
loads of dings," recalled Steck,
"But it only cost me thirty-five
dollars. It was great! It had this
full length airbrushed Hawaiian
chick on the bottom of it. My mom
hated it," he admitted.
Steck. has since traded : the old
board in on a newer style. He still
rides a single fin, though he has ridden twin fins, thrusters, and quads.
He also owns three long boards, all
at least 9'6" ; which he prefers to
ride in 2-4 foot surf. "Different boards handle different ways. Size, length, shape,
and number of fins determine how
a board will respond. If you want
the real reason why I've stuck with
a single instead of going with the
flow, it's because I've never found
the right board at the right price.
Usually when I find a board that I
know is "it" ; I'm broke. And then
when I have the cash and go shopping ; I can never find what I want.
I've always kept my equipment expenses to a minimum because I had
to spend a lot on traveling. It'd be
differnt if I didn't have to drive so
far. So instead of getting a new
board or a wetsuit every season,
I'll use the same one and travel to
new spots. I've been up and down
Jersey's coast a bunch of times,
surfed in Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina, Georgia and Florida ,"
Steck explained.
Currently, most of Stock's
energy is spent surfing in South
Jersey. He regularly surfs Long
Beach Island , Atlantic City, and
Cape May. Steck considers Ocean
City, New Jersey, his home break.
"I have a lot of good friends down
there. That' s where I .do most of my
surfing. I like it because I know the
crowd and they respect me. Joe, a
friend of mine says I've reached
the point of being "hot and almost
local." That means I don't get
hassled by the ' local shredders
anymore. I can hold my own,"
Steck admitted.
There is a strict pecking order
among surfers . Ocean City has a
reputation of being cold, and
territorialistic. The locals, though
mostly younger kids, will give outsiders a hard time. Steck admitted
that it wasn 't easy to learn surfing,
and being hassled in the water
didn't help matters.

International Relations Club Update

JOHN MUSONG
Voice Contributor
"A Host Parent-Foreign Student
Association is being formed so that
local residents of Bloomsburg and
surrounding communities can also
benefit from the presence of
foreign students on The BU Campus," said Alfred Tambe, International Relations Club (I.R.C.)
president, while addressing a
meeting of the club Oct. 10, 1984.
According to Tambe, the idea of
the host family association is not to
provide abode 'to foreign students.
Rather, the association links
foreign students and local families
so that they can interact and exchange cultures on a one-to-one
basis.
"Many of the area residents are
unfamiliar with the University and
its campus buildings, and activities. To m.any townspeople,
their activities do not include the
university at all," said Rev. John
Lucas of the Bloomsburg Christian
and Missionary Alliance Church. ,.
Continuing, Lucas said many of
the local residents are unaware of
the presence of more than 30 international students studying at
Bloomsburg University and their
desire to participate in cultural exchange with local American
citizens.
"Consequently, " said Lucas,
"when the International Relations
Club endeavored to launch a
program encouraging the
establishment of personal relationships with local residents for
mutual learning and understanding
between cultures, they-were faced
with the dilemma of how to communicate that desire to townsfolk.
As one interested in such cultural
exchanges, Rev. Lucas offered
suggestions and information on the
use of public media and community
leaders to make known the
student's desire to make friends of
local citizens.
For instance, he suggested that a
reporter from the Press Enterprise
be contacted for conducting an interview with key international
students whereby they could express themselves directly to area
residents because of the large
coverage area the newspaper enj oys. He added that such an interview could be' highlighted as a
human interest story complete
with photographs.
Rev. Lucas also suggested that
since the purpose of the International Relations Club is to inClude 'anypne, American as well as
foreign, and local residents as well
as students, then meetings of the
club could be announced on local
radio stations as public service announcements indicating the date,

time, and location, so that in- their cultural backgrounds with in most of the Middle East counterested residents- could be in- American friends increased. Even- tries. Anyone interested in

"A Thriller of a Weekend" is
scheduled for Bloomsburg University's 1984 Homecoming, with events ranging from athletics to dinner
dances slated to take place.
The "Thriller theme was chosen
by the 23 students on the

Homecoming Committee because
of "the popularity of JMichael
Jackson's 'Thriller' video, and the
Halloween motif," said Jimmy
Gilliland, assistant director of
Student Activities and advisor of
the Homecoming Committee.
"All we hope for is good weather,
then we'll be set," said Gilliland.

Wh y Pledge?

DARLA DELUCA

You may have seen students
around campus lately wearing
beenies, carrying pillows, paddles
or even bricks, linking arm-in-arm
and doing silly pranks.
- Who are they?
They are the pledges of the 16
social fraternities and sororities on
campus functioning under the Inter-Fraternity and Inter-Sorority
Councils.
Last year there were 1100 Greek
students at Bloomsburg University. That is the highest percentage
of any. other State University in
Pennsylvania.
Jennifer Hunt, president of the
Inter-Sorority , Council, feels BU
has such a high percentage
because students seem to like the
idea of belonging. In the 1960s,
when the first social Greek
organizations began, compeition
caused more and more Greek
organizations to develop. Everyone
at BU wanted to be involved.
Many freshmen and non-Greeks
wonder what inspires students to
go through three to seven weeks of
pledging to ;later be called a
brother or sister. Hunt explained
her idea why : "Because people
who want be Greek are leaders. Once they start something they do not
want to quit. Greeks in general , are
people who do not give up and want
to be involved. I feel Greeks are a
special breed of people.''
'\A lot of organizations on campus, and even sports, are supported
by the Greeks. In fact , several past
CGA presidents have been Greek
including the present one. It seems

The Bloomsburg University
men's cross country team dropped
three last Saturday, as they raced
at Mansfield University.
Bruce Wells of Mansfield
finished first, running a time of
24:41. He was followed by his teammate Sid Rhyant, who ran a time of
24:57.
Overall, Slippery Rock won the
race, defeating Bloomsburg,
Clarion, and Mansfield. SR's Jim
Spittal took first for Slippery Rock,
finishing third with a time of 25:05. ,
The other scorers for Slippery
Rock were Jeff Wells (25:32) ;
Peter Buccino (25 :39) ; Dan McCarthy (25:48) and Steve Lucy
(25 :55) ; finishing 6th, 7th, 8th and
9th respectively.
The top finisher for the Huskies
was Mark Elsasser who finished
19th, with a time of 27 :07.
In a real show of determination,
BU's Mike Greene ran part of the
4.8 mile course without a shoe.
During the race, his shoe was stepped on froni the back and was

the leaders are the Greek students," said Hunt.
• Bruce Stewart, President of the
Inter-Fratenity Council adds, "The
Greek system plays an important
role in becoming involved in the
University."
Several
freshman
and
sophomore non-Greek students
were asked if they plan on pledging
sometime in their college career.
Most were Uncertain , but feel a
need to get involved in something
on campus.
The main concern of the students
questioned is their fear of lowered
grades if they pledge. What may be
surprising is ISC and IFC have
rules on study hours. Pledges are
required to get three study hours
per night, Sunday through Thursday, and a minimum of five hours
on the weekend.
Brothers and sisters of. a Greek
organization can not make up their
own rules and regulations on
hazing which govern the actions of
the brothers and sisters," said
Stewart.
"They must abide by "the rules
and regulations of the Council or a
Judicial Board action is taken
against the organization violating
them and punishment is enforced,"
added Hunt.
Non-Greek students wanting to
get involved within the University
might try pledging. "I recommend
everyone to pledge. It is a great opportunity to show what you can do
for yourself and reach a potential
you never though you could.
Sisterhood, to me, is like having my
home away from home," said
Hunt.

SARAH HACKFORTH
Sports Writer
The women's tennis team took
eighth at the PSAC championships
this past weekend at Hershey
Racquet Club. Justine Landis, the
team's number one singles player
won her second conference title in
two years.
Shippensburg captured the team
championship with 20 points. IUP
had 17 for second, West Chester
scored 16, and Edinboro and Millersville tied for fourth with 14 points.
East Stroudsburg took the sixth
spot with 12, and Lock Haven
finished seventh with 9.
Landis, with a bye in the first
round, defeated Karen Morgan of
Edinboro in the semi-finals. The
top seeded player, Landis went on
to the finals having dropped just six
games prior to reaching the final
game.
Mary Fink of West Chester , was
unable to overcome the quick drop
shots and tough baseline volleying
Landis showered at her. Fink held
on to capture three games from
Landis, but could not break serve.
Landis has even less trouble in the
second set allowing Fink just one
game. The final score was 6-3, 6-1.
With a career record of 54-13,
Landis will be waiting to see if she
will again receive a bid to the

NCAA Division II championships
for the second straight year. Landis lost in the first round last year.
Landis lost just one match this
season to give her a 12-1 record.
Landis needs just six wins in the
spring season to become the first
on the all-time women's tennis list.
Kathy Masch, the Huskies
second singles player lost in the
number 2 semi-finals to Janice
W' j gerber of Shippensburg 6-3, 60. Weisgerber. went on to win the
flight by defeating Reitzel of Lock
Haven 6-1, 6-2. Masch ends her
season with an 11-2 record with
both her losses coming at the hands
of Weisgerber.
The only other BU player to gain
the semifinals was Cortlee
Gerhart. The freshman lost in the
number three singles spot in the
semifinals to Roxanne Murgia of
Lock Haven. Gerhart won the first
set 6-2, but conceded the second
and third sets 6-3, 6-4 to give her a
season record of 7-4.
Landis and Masch teamed up to
win the first set of their semi-final
match at the number one doubles
spot 6-4, but lost the next two sets 75, 6-4 to Judy O'Connell and
Weisgerber of Shippensburg. It
was the Husky duo's first lost of the
season to give them a 10-1 record
for the year.

Huskies Drop 3 in a Row

ART CARUCCI
Sports Writer
Since its first win of the season
three weeks ago, the Bloomsburg
University soccer team has lost
games in consecutive order to
Bucknell, Kutztown, and Cheyney.
During the three game stretch, the
opposition outscored BU 11-1. After
11contests the Huskies now have a
1-9-1record.
On Oct. 9, BU travelled to
Bucknell for a night game, and was
defeated 5-1. The Bisons rallied on
four firs t half goals to secure the
win. At Kutztown on Oct. 13, the
Bears made the most bf a penalty
kick to gain a 1-0 decision over the
Huskies. The shutout marked the
fourth time BU has¦ been held
scoreless this season. " -- ¦

That figure increased one notch
Friday, when visiting Cheyney
dealt the Huskies a 5-0 setback. After a scoreless first half in which
BU controlled the tempo of play,
the Wolves shook out the kinks of a
long trip up the Northeast Extension, and took charge.

After 5:30 into the second half ,
Alton Lawson broke the scoreless
deadlock with an assist from Hector Loran. The Huskies kept the
game close for the next 11 minutes
until Cheyney—sparked by Milton
Mighty's three goals within a four
minute period—put the contest out
of reach.
The Huskies will be home. Saturday to face Susquehanna for an il
a.m. match.
