Confusion over new
Health Center policies

SI/SAN K. KA.VTOK
Voice Contributor >

According to Susan Kroll-Smith ,
an RX at the Student Health Center, there seems to be confusion
amoung the students as to the new
policies in regard to the Health
Center.
The Health Center 's location has
been moved from Kehr Union to the
third floor of the new McCormick
building. It is open from 7 a.m. to 11
p.m. Monday thru Friday. Doctors
are available on campus from 8
a.m. to n a.m.
Many students are unaware that
there are doctors on campus and
continue to use the Bloomsburg
Hospital facilities . Although
students are " allowed to use the
hospital facilities , they will be
charged'$20, in comparison to the
campus doctor , which is free.
Students are also to contact the
Health Center for results of lab
tests. Many students were calling

the doctor 's private offices and
causing complications. All lab
results are kept at the Campus
Health Center.
Students who are experiencing
any illnesses should report to the
Health Center. There, a nurse will
examine you , and if a doctor is
needed , an appointment will be
made for the student to see the
campus doctor.
Two doctors have been hired , Dr.
Longenbach and Dr. Nungesser.
Each will work for one week at a
time on a two week rotational
basis. Another RN Sandra Whitmire , will be joining the staff in the
spring. She was hired to work part
time on the weekends.
In the spring, the center will be
open from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in addition to the
weekly hours. These hours are on a
trial basis, and will be changed
should other hours be more convenient.

for new apartment complex
ROB FLANAGAN
• Executive Editor
The Bloomsburg University
Council of Trustees met Wednesday night and approved a
resolution that would provide $3,451
million of bond funding-for the construction of a residence apartment
complex on the upper campus of
BU.
The Council, which meets four
times a year, noted that a need for
more housing was first recognized
11 years ago in the 1972-73 budget
request. If the complexris built, it
will help eliminate overcrowding
by lessening the number of double
occupancy rooms tha t are tripled.
It would also provide housing for
seniors and married and faculty
students.
Chancellor James McCormick,
of the State System of Higher
Education , who sat in on the
meeting as a special guest, stated

that the resolution could be place
on the agenda of the next Board of
Governors meeting in JanuaryUniversity officials would have to
finish compiling data stating the
need for the complex within a week
in order for it to be on the agenda .
Other resolutions considered and
passed included the General Fund
Budget and the Capitol Budget
request for the 1985-86 academic
year. The General Fund is a
request of $35:7 million. The top
priority of the Capitol Budget will
be the replacement of lighting and
fly wire systems in Haas
Auditorium.
Also approved was the waiver of
the basic fee for employees and
children of non-faculty members of

EDITOR IAL

BLOOM COUNTY

In regards to a letter recently received at this office discussing an act ol
misconduct and objectionable morals, it is the opinion of this staff that
such a letter has no place in this paper at this time. The letter accused
five male students of taking advantage of a young woman. Since the act in
question had not been reported to proper campus or town authorities , we
felt that until it had been that it had no place in this paper.
We are of the opinion that a newspaper should.be a court of last resorts.
If the authorities are appealed to and nothing is done to your satisfaction
then a newspaper should step in. Newspaper cannot , under these circumstances, be an investigative body, they look at what people in
positions Or authority investigate. Anyone can make accusations and
name names and sometimes a newspaper is the first place to go but certainly not in this case.
We agree that this is a deplorable act but at this time there is nothing
we could do about it. If this paper were to print this letter and the men in
question were found innocent , we would have opened ourselves up to a
liable suit. ¦ . , '. .
We urge you to report this act to either Security or the Town Police so
that the proper action can be taken.
This paper will accept letters dealing with matters that , simply stated ,
you feel so strongly about that you were compelled to sit down and write
us a letter. It is the decision of the editor to print letters.

Announ cements
Reminder to make
arrangements

The following is a reminder that
the Business Office wouldjike all
students who owe money for this or
any other previous semester to
make arrangements before Dec. 14
to pay debts . Anyone who does not
make these arrangements before

Dec. 14 will not . be able to register
next January . On campus students
who do not make these
arrangements will be regarded by
the Residence Life Office as not
being a student and will be asked to
vacate their dorm room.

Directories due in January
The office of University
Relations, in response to a letter
which recently appeared in The
Voice, says that students will
receive their directories a couple of
weeks after the beginning of next

semester. Due to the installation of
a. new system and the giving of
dorm students the option to have a
phone or not , a new computer
program had to be written in order
for a director to be printed.

Letter to the editor

Reporter has say
Dear Editor :
I am responding ui Chris
Potash's Letter to the Editor which
appeared in Friday 's paper. As the
writer of the article , "Goodbye
Olympian . Hello Bloom , " which lie
was addressing, 1 am entitled to
respond to his insinuations "of weak
reporting on my part.
First , in his letter . Potash denies
changing the magzine 's name to
"improve its image " as my article
read. He now states the name
change was to make the magazine
"more identifiable. " At no time
during the interview did he state or
imply the word "identifiable " as
the motive for the change. I can
only conclude that he was simpl y
not satisfied with the way his words
appeared in print.
Second, he also added in his letter that the purpose of the .
magazine is to be "readable. " In
other wor/ls, he once again denies

saying the purpose was to "mix ;
literature " with less academic :
things ." as my article read . At. no• '
time during the interview did "he '
1'be :.
state . or imply the purpose 'to

¦
¦
:;• .w • ¦ > >¦
"readable ;"
Third , he states in his letter "our ' > '¦¦
noble goal is to. address important
issues in . an interesting . way. " ¦
Doesnlt this mean the same as •.'he 1 ;
wants, the magazine to deal With
¦¦'¦
issues and events facing the world ¦¦

Shultz 's Active
Prevention Strategy
Secretary of State George P.
Shultz 's. strategy for "active
prevention " of terrorism seemed to
produce results in Rome, but the
world wide threat is far from over.
American embassies came under
attack from leftist guerrillas in
Lisbon and from drug traffickers in
Bogota , Columbia. Italian police officials announced the arrests of
seven men carrying Lebanese
passports near Rome, where they
appeared to be planning art attack
on the U.S. Embassy. They have
been linked to the Islamic Holy
War ,, which has' taken responsibility for five embassy and
barracks bombings in Beirut and
Kuwait in the last 19' months that

killed 360 people.
Sri Lanka
The Government of Sri Lanka , a
crowded island country off
southeast India , took measures to
ward off what it feared might be an
invasion by the Tamils from India
in support of a campaign by other
Tamils, to set up a separate state in
the northern part of the island. Sri
Lanka has been periodically
shaken by violence between the
majority Sinhalese and extremists
among the minority Tamils.
President Junius Jayewardene's
Government created a no man 's
land along the northeastern coast
to protect it against the Indian
Tamils, who he,said were planning
to come in January. Sri Lanka
suspects India of arming and
training an invasion force, a
charge India has denied.
Chile
Chile's military regime is
becoming more and more dictatorial. In the last few weeks it has
increased the harshness to efforts
by political, church and labor forces which are trying to oust
President Augusto Pinochet and
restore democracy. Troops were
out in force in Santiago and other
cities to undercut efforts by the opposition to defy a state of siege and
stage a generalIkrikev ? ¦

Funds allocated for
"Bloom" magazine

;
KATY NEASE
' ' "',
Voice Contributor
.
A previously defeated motion at the Finance Committee meeting on
Nov. 27 allocating $1000 to Bloom magazine was presented as a nejy
motion that was passed at the Dec. 3 CGA Senate meeting Monday.
The Finance Committee meeting minutes -were accepted as written until Chris Potash , a represen tative of Bloom magazine posed the question
"Why wasn 't the motion passed to allocate $1000 for Bloom, magazine
when money was given to two invididuals to attend conventions?"
:
Kelly Lewis, treasurer on the council, explained that the $1000 was not
allocated because of the low demand for Bloom magazine.
. * ,J
Kenny Roberts , an off-campus senate member, commented that "To
measure the success of Bloom magazine, money has" to be allocated to in r
;
-:¦
crease the tota l distribution ".
Two semesters ago ,, die magazine sold 30 copies at 25 cents a piece;
Last semester 500 copies were distributed ; but with the change of the
magazine's name and type of material, the number of-student readers
was still low.
Potash claimed the $1000 will help produce three times the amount of
magazines, or enough, so a good percent of the. school can become as
aware. of Bloom magazine as "The Voice".
The question arose of the unsuccessful production and distribution
amount in the past. Roberts added "If we had to pay 25 cents for the Voice
not half as many students would read it".
Potash claimed there had been increased interest but some potential
readers have never seen Bloom magazine, because of the few copies
produced. The magazine will be published'next week before finals.
A motion to change Policy No. 24, a policy stating Community Activities fees for students, faculty and alumni, was also passed. Policy No'.
24 originally stated part-time undergraduate degree students on campus
shall pay $3.75 per credit for each semester. The statement was changed
to: Part-time undergraduate students on campus who are not full-time
university employees shall pay $3.75 per credit per semester.
A motion to add Lehigh county to the list of counties for full-time
students teaching in the areas that pay half the Community Activities fee
was defeated. The full fee area is determined by a 50 mile radius while the
half fee area is determined by a 100 mile radius beyond the 50 mile area .
Before the motion was defeated , Kelly Klingel, executive assistant,
pointed out that if the mileage allowance for changing counties was not
followed then other areas will want the decreased fee depleating the Community Activities fund altogether.

NANCY CHAPMAN
Staff Writer
As a girl , she had piano lessons in
Old Science Hall. Twenty-five
years later , she joined the Bloomsburg State Teachers College
faculty. By then , her piano room
had become an office — her office.
At the end of this semester ( Fall,
1984) , Dr. Mary Lou John , Department of Foreign Language chairperson, is retiring after having
taught foreign langauges at Bloomsburg University for 25 !2 years .
Dr. John moved to -Bloomsburg
from Detroit in 1926. She was two
years old. She attended kindergarten through her first four
years of college in Bloomsburg.
Her education began on the campus of Bloomsburg State Normal
School. Her kindergarten and first
grade classes met in Noetling Hall,
which has since been torn down.
Her second through sixth grade
classes were held in the Benjamin
Franklin Building. Dr. John attended Bloomsburg High School for
seventh through twelfth grade.
Because of her ancestral ties,
and because she liked Bloomsburg,
Dr. John says she has always wanted to live here.
"I've always wanted to remain in
-the area ," says John. "My father

came to the U.S. in 1684 and to

father , Dr. Howard F . Fenstemaker, taught French , Latin ,
Spanish and German at BU. He
also taught history", math , music,

"He was the entire language
department until the university
hired professors under him ," says
John. "Then he became the first
department chairperson. "
Even though John grew up
around French , she hadn 't studied
the language until high school.'
"I knew a few little phrases from
home," says John. "Then in high
school, I took languages and liked
them. They seemed to be what I
was bests in. "
John continued to study
languages. In 1945, she received
her B.S. in education from the
Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, and was certified to teach
French, Spanish, English and
social studi es. She earned her
master 's in history from Bucknell
University, and , in 1978, a Ph.D. in
French from Pennsylvania State
University.

As a BU professor, John has served as Director of Cultural Affairs
and Director of International

The 'safety Of the off-campus college students is the concern of three
groups of people: the town, the university, and the students themselves.
The town is doing their part as represented by Chuck Felker, City
Zoning-Inspector. Felker is.responsible for inspecting houses and apartments ftir safety arid health , and making sure each student unit is in compliance with city statutes with respect to number of persons per unit.
There are in excess of 300 student rental units off-campus (excluding
Sesame St.) ; of these roughly 95 percent have been inspected by Felker
this year:*This is the largest percentage ever to have been inspected. Still,
a death has occurred and Felker is distressed and angry.
One example of an inspection by Felker is a double house with 19
students occupying it. The house is equipped with a "hard wired smoke
detector system." This system was installed by an electrician. There are
three floors on each side of the house, one smoke alarm per floor. Felker
says, put of the six hard wired systems, "...only one smoke alarm was
operational , tha t was on the third floor. The smoke alarm on the first floor
(on both sides ) was physically dismantled , unpluged, put back together,
and- forgotten about. " In that same house, Felker inspected the fire extinguishers ; 4 out of 5 fire extinguishers were discharged. Before Felker
left that' irispection site, he made sure all six alarms were operational.
Felker said , "On that date, less than 10 percent of the fire protection
system was in tact. When I left , 75 percent was restored."
Felker is also responsible for making follow-up inspections, so 10 days
later he returned to the above mentioned site. One side of the house had
maintained the system. The other side had again,disconnected 2 of the 3
electronicslnb'k^ det§ctors arid one;f ire.extinguisher was discharged.
_ . -. .

On an inspection of a different unit , Felker recalls that the battery
operated smoke detector worked in this dwelling. On a follow up inspection, 12 days later for another issue, he spot checked the smoke detector-it had ho battery. One or the tenants had removed the battery and
forgot about it , while the other tenants believed it was there.
Felker recommends that the tenants check the smoke alarm every 1015 days. If it dosen 't have batteries, spend the extra dollars and buy some.
If the some detector doesn 't work with batteries in it, but a new one. The
students are paying thousands of dollars for their education. Why not
make sure you'll be around to get your investment back by buying a
• '
smoke detector ?
Another area of concern is fire extinguishers. Felker says they are
being discharged and used to play with" (i.e. to cool off beer) and they're
not being recharged. By the way, Felker says , fire extinguishers are
required by law, so if a student off-campus doesn't have one, call the landlord and ask for one.
One final area oi concern for students are fuses. Don 't overload an
outlet! If there is only one outlet in a room, buy a heavy electric extention
cord.
So the responsibility for the renters safety is not totally a one-sided
defense. The town is doing its part. The university is doing its part by
requesting that specific units be inspected. Several meetings are called
by the University with the town to discuss problems of off-campus students. Dick Haupt, Director of Residence Life has employed three offcampus students to go to the off-campus houses and apartments and see
and hear what the problems are. "The Community Assistant's responsibility is to inform the students that the University is still concerned
about them and if there are problems , to contact either myself "or
someone else in Residence Life."
It is now time for the students to acknowledge the responsibility into action . Don't nullify everything the town and the University have done.
Obviously, this article's message will not apply to every off-campus
rental unit. There are some adults who already acknowledge their
responsibility for their safety but for those who don't, make it worth the
time and money you've put into Bloomsburg to get the benefits of the good
times, good friends, and quality education obtained here.

You know Nan, the dining room
supervisor at the Sheraton Commons? You've probably seen her
making sure things are running
smoothly in the dining rooms.
Nan Kreisher has lived in Bloomsburg all of her life. Currently, she
is raising, her : two girls, Rebecca,
17, and Maureen, 13. She also has a
son Todd , 20, majoring in
Criminology at Lycoming College.
Before Nan worked for Servomation at Bloomsburg University, she worked part-time in the
cafeteria at the W.W. Evans
Elementary School in Bloomsburg.
Nan says she waited to begin
working until her children were attending school. At this time, she
tillbe2:00
worked from 1Q:00 a.m. to
at
p.m. which ^enabled her
home when her children arrived
from school. This way Nan says,
her children were never left alone.
Nan is a family oriented person
and puts a lot of emphasis on her
family. She says, "My kids are
very important to me, they have
been good to me and I'm thankful*'
She has - never moved from
Buckhorn because she feels that

her roots are too important. "My
roots are.here and here is where I'll
stay," said Nan.
She has worked for Servomation
for the past five years at the Commons where she started as a line
server and was promoted after
three years to dining room supervisor. Nan is also involved with
special functions that Servomation
contracts.
Through working with the
students she has become very close
to many of them. Nan said, "All in
all , they ( the students ) have meant
the world to me." She has even attended several weddings.
Nan 's "mother image" has
enabled the students to become as
close to her as she is to them. She
said, "The doors are open and I am
always happy to talk with them.''
Nan 's enjoyment of people make
her jobs as pleasurable as it is
today. She said, "If you enjoy
something you are going to put
your whole heart and soul into it.
Dan Phillips, the Unit Manager
for Servomation, said. Although
Mr. Phillips has only been working
at the University since the beginning of the semester, he can depend
on Nan. Mr? Phillips ^id;. "She's

my back-up sister."
"She's an asset to the food service company, the University, and
the community at large. Coming
from the manager's point of view,
she is very dependable and
reliable."
Greg Blazier, a recent graduate
from Drexel who is completing the
manager trainee program with
Servomation, has also only been
working here since the beginning of
the semester. He said about Nan,
"She always makes me laugh. On a

"on a down day, she is the
light at the end of the tunnel that I know is not the

train."

down day, she is the light at the end
of the tunnel that I know is not a
train." Mr. Blazier said that even
though Nan is busy raising a family
at home and is working at the Commons, she still gives 100 percent to
both.
Todd Talarico , a student at
Bloomsburg, has worked with Nan
for the past two years. Todd
describes Nan as "The big ear." He
isaysishe is always willing to listen

to his problems.
Todd recalled a time last
semester when Nan was working
the Madrigal Singers Banquet.
Todd was attending and had asked
Nan to dance. He said she looked at
him and laughed. Eventually she
went out onto the floor and danced
with him. Todd said, "We had a
blast, she's a great lady!''
According to those who know her,
Nan is a beautiful lady who every
student should meet. She is one of
the most understanding, warm and
sensitive people, around. Nan. is a
Mom away from home.

Sports Editor
The women 's swim team won their conference Opener last Monday with
a resounding defeat of East Stroudsburg .
The Huskies, just off a first place victory at the Drexel Invitational lasi
weekend, broke East Stroudsburg pool records and Bloomsburg team
records on their way to the 75-53 win.
Coach Mary Gardner had nothing but praise for what she considers the
best group of "women she has coached at BU. "They are probably the most
talented group of individuals this school has seen in the past few years. If
the East Stroudsburg meet and the Drexel Invitational are anything to go
on, we are going to have a lot of national qualifi ers and AU-Americans, "
said Gardner .
The Husky swimmers broke three ESU pool records on their way to
their victory . Junior Kelly Knaus, senior Gwen Cressman and sophomore
Patty Boyle broke records in the 1000 freestyle, 200 freestyle and 200 butterfly respectively. Knaus also set a new BU team record in the 1000

Husky Basketball

Women outplayed by Wolves
MIKE ALBRIGHT
Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg women 's
basketball team controlled the first
25 minutes of the game before
being outplayed by Cheyney during
the final 15 to drop a 63-54 decision.
The Huskies held a nine point
halftime lead, 32-23, after jumpin g
out to a big 32-19 advantage midway through the half.
But during the second half , the
Huskies extended the lead to eleven
at the 14:30 mark before Cheyney
reeled off a 13-2 spurt to knot the
score at 42-42. .
Both teams traded baskets until
it was tied at 48-48. Cheyney then
proceeded to score nine straight
points to put the game well in hand.
During this stretch, Cheyney was
paced by high scorer Paulette
Bigelow (20 points ) who hit several
long jumpers. Ann Strong contributed 17 points and eleven
rebounds while Debbie Thomas hit
for 13markers and 19rebounds.
Bloomsburg was paced by senior
Jeanne Radcliff who had a season
high 22 points and eight rebounds.

Jean Millen , who broke Hilarie
Runyan 's all-time rebounding
mark , had ten points and 15 rebounds.
Center Sarah Hackforth got into
early foul trouble but freshman
Amy Wolf came off the bench and
filled in nicely, scoring eight points
on a four for five shooting night and
pulled five rebounds to aid the
Husky cause.
Cheyney shot only 9-36 in the first
half while the Huskies hit for a 45.4
percent (15-33). The Wolves were
11-19 from the charity stripe while
BU was only 4-7. A key to the game
was Bloomsburg 's 14 second half
turnovers, manyjdown the stretch,
and 32.3 percent shooting. Cheyney
shot 51.5 percent during the second
half and only committed seven
toumovers.
BU's record stands at 3-2 while
Cheyney upped their mark to 1-2.
Jeanne Radcliff , with her 22 points,
moved into ninth place on the alltime scoring .; list, passing Sally
Houser and Katrina Knittle. Kris
