BLOOM magazine
receives grant

DARCIE SCHEIDT
Staff Writer
At Monday's CGA meeting,
Bloom magazine was granted $575
towards printing costs for the 1985
spring semester.
However , accordin g to
"Bloom 's" editor-in-chief Chris
Potash, the $575 donation will not
cover off-campus printing fees. It
will, though, require "Bloom" staff
members to work 50-55 extra hours.
Last semester, approximately
$1,900 was donated to Bloom
magazine which provided for commercial printing services. With this
amount, over 2,500 copies of
''Bloom "were distributed.
Changes to "Bloom" just recently occurred with the naming of the
new editor-in-chief Chris Potash.
Potash initiated the idea to increase the number of yearly issues
from one to two. "Now people can
pick it up every semester and have
something interesting to look at it's different," he explained . A
change in the magazine's name from "Olympian" to "Bloom" also took place under Potash's

.

reign.
The CGA told "Bloom" staff
members that if they liked the new
magazine, they would pay for the
spring issue. After its publication,
the magazine was unacceptable to
the committee; therefore ,
"Bloom 's"$2,000 request to publish
a spring issue was rejected.
"People threw copies away,"
said March Wood of the CGA finance committee.
"Even so, it's something that
provokes creative thought ,"
Potash pointed out, "and it allows
interested students-to submit their
individual pdems, plays> stories
and art work. Some argue that the
magazine is "unusual", "weird" or
"strange," but many fail to realize
that the "Bloom" staff only prints
what students submit," Potash explained.
In a recent finance committee
meeting, a compromise of $575 was
agreed upon and was introduced at
Monday 's general CGA meeting.
This money will be sufficient for

Kenny Roberts and the Admission's Office teamed up with
ASPIRA , a hispanic based
organization , for a minority
Recruitment weekend at Bloomsburg University.
Thirty five students from various
high schools in Philadelphia, attended along with four chaperons.
Each student was paired off with a
volunteer BU student who was
their host.
The students spent Friday afternoon getting to know their hosts
and meeting new people. That
evening was spent at the Spring
Extravaganza.
On Saturday the students went to
sessions to learn about the University and it's various programs of
study. A presentation was given
by Mr. John Walker, vice-president
of Institutional Advancement, who

gave a general overview of the
University.
Mr. Donald Young, Resident
Director of Luzerne gave a presentation on behalf of Residence Life.
A very important session on
Financial Aid, was discussed by
Mr. John Bieryla , Assistant Director of Financial Aid. He explained
the various types of student aid
available from the Government.
The CAD office was also present
explaining various tutorial and
developmental courses provided
for the University Community.
The most enjoyable session was
the Student Panel. Student leaders
representinga major portionof extra curricular activities answered
questions from the visitors, and
provided personal experiences and
views.

Extravaganza
a Success

MARCELLE McINTYRE
Staff Writer
The second Spring Extravanganza held last Friday was a huge success .
The event was sponsored by the Program Board and the Minority Committee and headed by Dave Gathers and supported by 125 students.
As in previous extravaganzas, the Sheraton Inn, Danville hostedjhe
evening.
Transportation by bus was provided to and from the event , which began
at 6:30 p.m. and continued until 12:00 p.m.
The evening began with a candlelight buffet dinner. Afterwards the
lights were dimmed and everyone danced to the music provided by Doug
Wenrick.
During the evening Marcie Woods and Kenny Roberts provided a floor
show. They danced to Michael Jackson 's "Billie Jean. " Ms. Woods said
this has become a tradition at the extravaganza .
Students gave rave reviews about the evening. Many expressed the
hope that there will be another extravaganza in the fall.
According to one student, "the evening was a break away from the
hill. '- Others attended for dining and dancing.
Careful, planning contributed to the evenings success. Most of the
prepara tions were done by the Minority Rela tions Committee, who began
organizing the event last November .
According to Roberts, it is hoped that in the future the event will attract
all students regardless of their race. \

Concerns
alcohol
on
TOM JONES
these meetings have been posted on

Voice Contributor
Two years ago, the Center for
Counseling and Human Devleopment conducted a campus survey
concerning alcohol use and
awareness. Part of that survey
asked students what topics they
would like to know more about concerning alcohol. This article will
address three of the most common
student concerns.
How do you identify an alcohol
problem or an alcoholic person? A
person has an alcohol dependency
if he or she can not live comfortably without alcohol. You look
at the general picture of the person
over time. If the person on the
average seems to lose control when
he/she drinks, that's an alcohol
problem. Many social drinkers lose
control at times when they drink,
but their general profile is one of
control over alcohol. An alcoholic
may control his or her drinking occasionally, but their general profile
is a loss of control over alcohol.. As
alcoholics anonymous says, "First
the person takes a drink, then the
drink takes a drink, then the drink
takes the person."
An alcoholic never intends to
drink too much or lose control, but
alcoholism is addiction to alcohol.
Unlike social drinkers, alcoholics
are powerless over alcohol. A
typical example of loss of control is
that an alcoholic, while controlling
his/her drinking at times, will
more, often than not be baffled at
their behavior. He or she intended
to have several drinks and then go
on to another activity, but finds
him or herself closing down the
party or bar after having much
more to drink than originally intended.
How do you help a friend or
relative with a drinking problem?
First, you should learn to recognize
the disease, alcoholism, by the
symptoms of the disease (some of
which are described above).
Educate yourself about the disease
by a t t e n d i n g
Alcoholics
Anonymous, AlAnon or Family
Anon meetings. Time and places of

r

campus bulletin boards. If you cannot find these, you may get copies
of these at the Counseling Center,
second floor Ben Franklin.
Confront the behavior of the
alcoholic to raise his/her
awareness of their situation. Tell
them what behavior of theirs you
have observed. Make the person
responsible for their behavior.
TELL THEM WHERE THEY CAN
GO TO GET HELP. Aside from AA
meetings, the Counseling Center
may be able to help you contact
other support resources in your
area.
Finally, how do you give a
responsible and enj oyable party
with alcohol? First, always have
non-alcoholic drinks, kept in clear
view, as an alternative to alcohol.
Secondly, always serve food at
your parties. The higher protein
the food, the better. Pota to chips
and pretzels, although better than
nothing, are not really sufficient.
Do not offer to refill glasses. If you
feel that a guest has had too much,
assert yourself and refuse to let
him/her have any more. Finally,
stop serving drinks about one hour
before the party actually ends. This
gives some time to start sobering
up.
' If you would like more information on these or other alcohol
related topics, the Counseling Center has a wealth of brochures which
are specifically for student resources. Feel free to stop by and get this
information.
Dr. Fuller's 1:00 p.m. Journalism
class would like to thank the following members of the Voice staff for
their help. Without them, this issue
would not have been possible.

Pregnancy

JACQUE WOOD
Voice Contributor
Pregnancy, whether wanted or
unwanted, is a very emotional ,
stressful experience for any female
to go through. The experience emcompassses many circumstances ,
making each pregnancy a very individual and unique event : But the
one aspect they all have in common
is that they are all , Unquestionably,
the result of the sexual act. Now ,
when a couple consciously decides
that pregnancy and, in turn; a
child, is something they both can
handle, and want, it is nothing less
than a beautiful , fulfilling experience. But what about the
couple who is not yet in that
situation for which it is not the
right time for children? The answer has been made easy for us;
Science has provided the means for
giving us a lot of control over our
fertility, one need only seek the
resource. Why, then, are there so
many unwanted pregnancies and
children? Why, then, do 4 in 10
women become pregnant because
they did not use some form of birth
control? And why, then, do only 30
percent of young, unmarried
couples consistently use birth control? The answers are many-fold.
One reason young couple do not

The ASPIRA students were given

Their visitation ended on Sunday
afternoon with a photo session. According to Roberts it was a great
success and he expressed a hope
for future visitations by minority
students. "The program would not
have been possible without the help
of the hosts and hostesses, the
Residence Life Office and Mr. Artenus Flagg, an Admissions Counselor."

seek contraception is their inability
to admit that they are involved in a
sexual relationship, x Sexual
^
relationships
involve a commitment ; which • many find
psychologically difficult to make.
Many ;times, to the .young adult,
spontaneity is equated . witfr innocence! The use of contraceptions
requires fore thoughts and forces
the partners to own up to the sexual
nature of the relationship. Many individuals, often because of parental or religious teachings, have difficulty admitting their sexuality
which results in anxiety and indecisiveness about seeking birth
control.
Another reason young couples do
not seek contraception are minconceptions about some of the
methods available, mainly the birth control pill, or oral contraceptive. Americans tend to
greatly underestimate the effectiveness. This misinformation,
therefore, enhances not seeking
contraception and leaves many
females vulnerable to unintended
pregnancies. In a poll conducted by
the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it
was found that 3 out of 4 women
believe there are substantial health
risks with birth control pill. This attitude is in sharp contrast to the
scientific evidence that has been
growing in the past five years. The
fact is that the risk of pill-related
deaths is about 57 in 100,000 women
who use it, while the risk of
pregnancy - related deaths is about
double that. It is true that the pill

Although Bloomsburg is not a
large university, Jusseaume said
when they arrived they were surprised how large it was. He also
said it was very hard for them to
conceive the size of a place like
Penn State.
Gamier said, "The American
system allows for more communication between the different
academic disciplines and allows
people to inter-relate on a more
personal level."
Jusseaume added that he enjoys
the interaction not only with
American students but with other
foreign students on campus, this
was due in part to the activities of
the International Club. This is an
opportunity he would not have in
France since there are few foreign
students.
Gamier said, There is more
student involvement with social activities and more group involvement. In France there is more
stress on the individual.''
Both Gamier and Jusseaume
found the students in France to be
more serious regarding their
education. Both were quick to add
that different cultures and age
groups may be the cause of their
perception .
Gamier finds American students
to be more confident in their
abilities but less sensitive to
cultural differences than students
in France. "Maybe this is due to
the vastness of the United States
which gives Americans less contact with foreign countries," he
said.
Gamier said, "People at Bloomsburg have been so helpful and interested in us that it has added
much to our confidence here. "
Each student resides with a
family in Bloomsburg. The
arrangements for the students
were made by Dr. Foureman , a
French professor in the department of language and culture.

LORI TIMBERLAKE
Feature Editor
Have you ever walked out of a
classroom thoroughly frustrated?
Have you ever felt that you were
being unjustly discriminated
against? Do you sometimes think
that you are the only person facing
these types of problems? '
If you have ever had a complaint
and wish to voice it to someone,
there is something you can do. Few
students realize that they do not
have to accept the problem , that
there is a committee designed to
help students deal with their complaints. "Students can feel so
outraged, yet they rarely bring
their complaint to the public
because they are afraid to expose
t h e m s e l v e s ", s a y s J o h n
Scrimgeour of the Grievance Committee.
The Grievance Committee was
designed to aid students who are
experiencing difficulties due to
sexual harassment , discrimination
and academic reasons. Acting as
counselors are Scrimgeour ,
Professor Martin Gildea from the
Political Science Department and
Professor Marjorie Clay from the
Department of Philosphy .
If a student has a complaint
which deserves attention he or she
should talk to the professor on a
one-to-one basis and try to come to
an agreement on that level. If the
matter is resolved at this level, no
further action is needed.
Students are urged to seek the
guidance of one of the coordinators
of the Grievance Committee at any
time. "Sometimes a student won't
know what to do, if they just come
in and talk about it we can help
them to examine their alternatives.
It may give them a little peace of
mind to talk about their problem

and to take the burden off of their
shoulders", Scrimgeour said.
After the student's initial concerns have been addressed three
general courses of action for the
student are available as stated in
Pilot.
1) "The student may lodge a
verbal complaint when he or she
wishes to discuss the incident with
a designated official (in most
cases, a counselor) .'.' If after this
session the student wishes to pursue the complaint the student may
proceed to the next step.
2) "The student may lodge a
complete written complaint after
the initial session. A meeting will
be arranged which will include the
Vice President, the appropriate
Dean or Administrator, the appropriate Department Chairperson, the accused individual and
the counselor".
"The purpose of the meeting is to
inform the accused of the complaint and to discuss the complaint
with the accused if he or she is
willing to do so".
The outcome of such meetings
may include dismissal of the
charges , an informal oral
reprimand, a written reprimand,
or other appropriate disciplinary
action up to and including a recommendation of termination of employment.
3) "The student can file a formal complaint through the student
grievance structure."
Scrimgeour said that students
are too passive and that they
seldom stand up for their rights as
students. In most cases that have
come to the committee it has found
that if students do not "harbor hard
feelings" and open up to their
professors, the matter can be more
easily resolved.

Planning activities for over 5,000
college students can be time consuming, but it can also be fun.
Creating events such as pseudo
newlywed games and movies in a
pool required creativity.
BU Program Board, a volunteer
student organization that plans
programs for students, is looking
for students to help plan these
creative events for next fall.
Officer and chairperson positions
are available for anyone interested
in joining Program Board. As of
Tues., March 26, people were

needed for treasurer ( officer), dance/mini-concert, films, hospitality
and widescreen Committees.
"It doesn't hurt to apply," says
Jimmy Gilliland, assistant director
of student activities. "Everyone
has to start somewhere. That's why
I'm here and the other members of
Program Board are here, to help
each other create the best Program

There are general Program

each semester. During those
meetings chairpersons recruit

Thorogood to play Haas
REBECCA L. SOLSMAN
. News Editor
r ' ;
Tickets for the George
Thorogood and the Delaware
Destroyers Maverick concert are
selling fast, The Bloomsburg
Student Concert Committee expects all 1,950 seats to be filled for
the performance in Haas
Auditorium April 18, at 8 p.m.
Some songs being played at the
concert will include "I Drink
Alone," "Move it on Over," "Bad
to the Bone," and "One Bourbon,
One Scotch, One Beer. "
Joel Selvin, a writer for the San
Francisco Chronicle, said; "In this
age of new-wave rock and skinnytie bands, Thorogood keeps alive
the spirit of old time rock and roll.
It is more than just the songs he
sings or the type of music he plays.
It is a celebration of concerns
larger than the purely musical, and
his performance have become a
kind of convocation of that cult. "
Many feel that Thorogood's personality is a vital ingredient in the
Destroyer's success. His showmanship and entertaining abilities
demonstrated by his duck-walking
across stage, dancing on tabletops, and zig-zagging crazily
through crowds while still pounding away on his guitar puts his
audiences in a frenzy.
But Thorogood is also an original
interpreter of the lyrics he sings
out each continuous night. He is a
master of his guitar , which has
"the command and exuberance
suggested in the song's line. "He
plays the guitar like a ringin ' a
bell," a writer for the Los Angeles
Times, Robert Hilburn, stated.
Thorogood's first encounter with
the music he plays and loves came
from playing records again and
again. The first album he bought
was Chuck Berry's GOLDEN
DECADE, and later bought old
Elmore James records.
In his music today, a con-

However, Thorogood feels that his

both vitally exciting and alive,

Coming of spring...

Soccer begins

CHRIS ALBANY \ Sports Writer
With the coming of spring and
warm weather, the Bloomsburg
University soccer team has begun
their spring practice schedule.
The spring practices are part of a
year-round training program
headed by first year Coach Steve
Goodwin.
The off-season training program
is set up to improve the skill level of
the players. The program also
helps the players stay in good
physical condition. The practices
are held each day up until the end
of the semester. Each practice is
approximately two hours long.
For ten weeks this winter, the
soccer team also practiced three
nights a week playing indoor soccer in Centennial gym.
Along with the scheduled indoor
workouts, the team also played in
three individual indoor soccer tournaments. The tournaments were
held at Lock Haven University,
York College* and Shippensburg
Universitv.

Coach Goodwin feels the offseason training program is a
necessary step to improving upon
last fall's record of 2-12-1.
Co-captain Andy Gasper stated ,
"All the hard hours of work will
pay off this fall. We're going to be a
much better team."
Another key step to improving
upon last season's mark will lie in
recruiting. Coach , Goodwin has
recruited well for next season. Cocaptain Ted Peckham said, "Coach
has some players coming to Bloomsburg next year which should help
to build a strong team."
The BU soccer team only lost one
starting senior from last year's
team and will have the entire starting team back. The team is still
very young, with the majority of
the team being freshmen and
sophomores.
Although the team has struggled
the past two seasons, Coach Goodwin is very optimistic about next
year's squad and is looking towards a good season next fall.

(Continued from Page 8)
many times by many other
coaches, but in Puhl's case, the
statement holds deeper meaning -that of a family-type relationship
with his athletes.
"What I like best about coaching
is the relationship I have with my
kids," Puhl said. "You really get to
know them much better when
coaching. Each one of them is like
a family member."
Puhl said his greatest satisfaction in coaching the BU track
teams would be for each of his
athletes to experience growth as a
person. Above all, he wants them to
gain solid work habits and a good

education.
As far as wins and losses are concerned, Puhl says he wants to eventually coach a championship team
at BU. With a coaching philosophy
based upon pushing his athletes to
their utmost levels of performance
in a unique family atmosphere, it
would not be surprising to see him
accomplish this goal.

With the current exercise craze in the U.S., Bloomsburg is no exception . Ah intregal part of the recreation facilities that the University offers is the recreation swimming at Nelson and Centennial pools.
A staff of 15 lifeguards, under the driection of Aquatics Director Mary
Gardner, work the various hours offered for the pools.
Centennial pool, on the lower campus, is open from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. It is also opened from 12 to 2 p.m. on
Tuesdays and Thursdays and 1to 3 on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Nelson pool, located in Nelson Fieldhouse, is open on Wednesday and
Friday nights from 7:30 to 9 as well as 11 to 12:.30 p.m. on Mondays and
Wednesdays. Nelson pool also holds recreational swims on Fridays from
""- .
12 to 2 p.m. .
• ' '
Most people that attend the recreational swims regularly workout by
doing laps. Lap swimming is one of the cardivascular exercises an individual can do.
One regular swimmer, Dr. Fuller, said,. "I try to make it three times a
week, Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays to doat least 1200yeards."
Some people come to cool down after exercising at other recreational
areas. The water helps them to loosen up after a hard workout.
Still others come to have fun and relax in the water.
The afternoon swims are madeup of predominately faculty and staff
members that take a midday break to get a little exercise.
Students make up the bulk of the evening swims. This is the most
popular time for use of the pool.
All that is needed to swim is a BU student ID card with a current community activities sticker. Husky club membership, the adult fitness
program and courtesy cards .are acceptable to attend the recreational
swims.
The pools can also be rented out for private use by any group
¦ y and the
college will supply a lifeguard.

Women 's Lacrosse

Tourney yields improvement

SUSAN KOCHER
Sports Editor
Coach Sharon O'Keefe took the
women's lacrosse team to Sanford
University in Delaware where they
participated in a multi-team tournament this weekend.
The tournament, organized by
the Olympic Lacrosse coach, was
set up to allow as many teams play
one another as possible.
They played 25 minute games instead of the regulation two, 25
minute halves.
The Huskies faced tough compeition like Kutztown , Lock Haven,
Frostburg, Well College, Green
Briar, Essex, Courtland and Middleburg.
BU played six games on Saturday losing five and tieing one, while
playing three games on Sunday,
losing one, tieing one, and winning
one.
Although their record does not
show it, coach O'Keefe was pleased
with the improvement her team
made this past weekend.
"We practiced our zone defense
once and it took us awhile to get it
clicking, but it looks like it will improve our game a lot," commented
O'Keefe.
The experience gained at the

Men and Women

tournament should become apparent in the next few games.
O'Keefe feels it was a very
productive weekend for the freshmen and first year players because

the intense play gave them a better
understanding of the game.
O'Keefe also noted that the upperclassmen gained confidence in
themselves and the younger

Ten years away from track must
have been hard to bear.
Ten years ago the year was 1975,
the year after which Ron Puhl
decided to step down from position
as men's track coach at BU.
Now, after 10 years of pursuing
other endeavors, Puhl is back to
coach both the men's and women's
track teams.
Why has he decided to return?
"I guess because they asked
me," Puhl explained in a recent interview. "I thought that maybe I
could be of some use in getting
things squared away with the
program. I also love track and
field."
Puhl cited a shortage of students
trying out for the teams as being a
major problem of the ' "Hxaek
program, a program that has not
produced a championship conr
tender in several years.
"There are 6,189 students on this
campus," Puhl said. "We should
have, without recruiting, enough
girls and guys trying out to be able
to field a quality team. We have
great facilities here and a good
budget. I blame the people who
don't come out: The administration
is trying."
Puhl's concern for the track
program stems from the standards
he sets for any team he coaches.
First and foremost, he requires
that all members of his team
remain highly dedicated and keep
themselves in good physical condition. He also prefers the lines of
communication to be open.
"I want the athletes to ask the
coaching staff to help get them
over the top, " Puhl said. "If they
come half way for us , we'll go the
route for them. "
That statement has been made
