Staff Reporter
Newly elected CGA president
Sean Mullen was officially installed, along with the rest of the
executive council , at the final CGA
meeting of the semester , Monday.
After taking the oath of office,
the new officers officially started
their positions. The ceremony ended with ex-CGA president Brett
Hoffmaster handing over the
mallot to Mullen. .
Along with Mullen , the other officers who will serve on the
executive council will be: Jill Lippincott, vice president ; Joseph

Canavo, treasurer ; Becky Walker,
corresponding secretary ; Eileen
Irving, recording secretary ; Jeff
Sutherland, parliamentarian;
Doug Miller, historian; Gwendolyn
Hall, project coordinator ; Kerry
Eck, CAS coordinator and Lori
DiPasquale, executive assistant.

In. other matters, the senate
passed a motion to allocate
$60,789.34 to post season athletics
for athletic teams to attend post
season activities; funds to come
first from the post-season account
with the balance coming from the
reserve. Funds that are returned

will first go to the reserve.
This money is an estimated
amount which will cover all the
spring teams if they attend the
highest possible contest of the
sport. In all actuality, the CGA
estimated that only about $15,000
will be used.
It was also passed by the senate
to make a donation of $400,000 to
the town park, as a users fee.
The following are the results of
last week's elections. For the
senior class : Kelly Toole,

Delta Omega Chi, the second

The sophomore class officers will

In the CAS elections, Jeff
Sutherland will be the CAS coordinator and Kerry Eck will be the

The ARS elections went as
follows: Lorene Feldman, female
co-president ; Robert Francis,
male co-president ; Brian Trusty,
vice president ; Mara Gummoe,
publicity coordinator ; Alesia
Grum , secretary and Gary
Heuring, treasurer.
Also in the elections, both Soar
and the Black Cultural Society
were granted a seat on the senate.
There were some problems getting the election results out quick ,
but according to CGA, the reason
the election results were not announced until the day after the
elections is that all the write-in candidates had to be checked for
eligibility.
During DOC's 18 years, members
of the fraternity have had
numerous problems with town and
campus police. Before being
brought up on charges for this
semester's pledge period, DOC lost
two pledge classes and was on
probation once in the past three
years for pledge violations.
DOC brothers have been charged
with several violations, including
assault, and attempted rape. The
rape charges were later dropped at
the alleged victim's request. DOC
brother Denis Brady will be
suspended from BUP for the fall
semester 1985 following the assault
of two sorority sisters in midMarch. The most recent violation
was the arrest of DOC president
Phil Conner for burglary, criminal
trespass, theft and receiving stolen
property on April 29.

Letters to the Editor
Doctors
commended

Dear Editor,
We wish to respond to an
editorial printed on Friday, April
26, which we think was demeaning
to our university physician and
also our Student Health Center.
Let us first define fee words
diagnosis and prognosis , which
were used incorrectly in the article.
diagnosis - The term used to identify a disease. This is done by signs
and symptoms present and
laboratory tests and data used to
confirm these findings.
prognosis - the prediction or outcome of a disease once it is
diagnosed and treated.
Suzanne was first seen by the
nurse, who felt she was too ill to
leave the Health Center without first being seen by the physician.
The physician did not diagnose
the student as having meningitis,
but instead noted symptoms
suggesting the possiblity of
meningitis. He then advised tests to
rule out the disease. He answered
the student's questions regarding
meningitis and also the procedure
and risk of a spinal tap.
The physician's concern was for
this student and the entire student
body as meningitis is conta gious
and can be life threa tening.
He did not demand Suzanne to
have the tests but advised her to do
so. When she refused, he felt it
necessary to legally protect himself by having her sign a medical
release after first making sure it
was legible and that she understood
what was written. A follow-up ap-

pointment was made in an effort to
give Suzanne an opportunity to express her feelings and concerns,
which she failed to keep.
We did indeed have a case of
meningitis on our campus recently,
and the diagnosis was confirmed at
Geisinger Medical Center. Our
university physicians and the entire staff met this critical crisis
with effective efficiency and put
many extra hours into the effort ,
which was much appreciated by
the students involved and their
parents. So we say to our universiry physicians - Thanks for a job
well done!
Our ; purpose at the Student
Health Center is to serve your
health needs. We have extended
our service this past school year
and plan for further expansion. We
have evaluation forms at the front
door and encourage you to take
time and fill them out. Constructive
criticism has never harmed
anyone; it can only help you and
allow us to grow.
Sincerely,
Marion Koons, R.N.

splendid cooperation. We realize

truly sorry for the inconvenience
and many delays these students experiences.

Where's
the pay?

Dear Editor,
I am writing in behalf of myself
and fellow receptionists of Elwell
Hall For what seems like the
'millionth ' time this semester, we
will not be getting paid this coming
payday. As receps we must uphold
school policies, work awkward
hours, and be responsible for the
work that is ascribed to us. Is it fair
to ask this of us, when the administration is showing us otherwise? If we are to be responsible to
show up on time and do other countless duties, shouldn't they be
responsible enough to pay us on
time?
I would normally not have
bothered to write this editorial under other conditions, but this is not
the first time this has happened.
Obviously it is too late to really do
anything about it, since no action
has been taken to improve this
situation and the semester is at its
end. But at least by writing.this, I
might encourage other student employees to take the initiative in the
future. After all we are people too!
Some of us need the money we
work for to pay bills, to get home on
weekends or simply to enjoy the
pleasure of going out. I'm sure
several of the unversity's full-time
employees would be very upset if
they were neglected one of their
paydays. We are !

Proposed financial aid cuts

CHRISTINE LYONS
News Editor
To get ahead in today 's competitive world , a college education
is desireable. But many people cannot afford the cost of education on
their own and receive aid from the
federal government in the form of
loans and grants.
This may change, though, if
President Reagan has his way. He
has proposed numerous cuts in
federal financial aid for his 1986
fiscal budget. If these cuts go
through, a college education may
become an impossibility for many
people.
The April 9 issue of Financial Aid
News reported that President
R e a g a n a n d the S e n a t e
Republicans have agreed on a 1986
fiscal budget that would cut
significantly less from the eight
billion dollar student financial aid
program than was originally
proposed by the administration.
The new package would trim $370
million from the student financial
aid program instead of the original
$1.7 billion that was asked for . This
new proposal would save $959
million in aid spending in the 1987
fiscal year and $1.2 billion in the
1988 fiscal year.
According to David Stockman,
director of the Office of
Management and Budget, this plan
would eliminate the Guaranteed
Student Loan Program to students
whose income or parents' income is
more than $60,000. This figure is
nearly double the $32,500 figure
that was originally proposed . This
plan would also raise the government subsidized aid cap to $8,000
from the original $4,000 cap.
Stockman said the changes in the
student aid program will eliminate
fewer students than originally
thought. He also notes these
changes were a result of "a very
major compromise" by the administration.
According to Ken Reeher ,
executive director of the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency (PHEAA ) , the
Pell Grant Program would be
limited to borrowers whose income
or parents' income is Jess I than
$25,000. The State Student Incentive Program (SSIG) , the Supplemental Education Opportunity
Grant Program (SEOG) , and the
National Direct Student Loan
Program (NDSL) would be
eliminated.
According to Tom Lyons, director of financial aid at Bloomsburg
University, if the cuts are implemented, approximately 2,500 to
would lose an
3,000 BU students
W
estimated 2!5 million in loans;

grants, scholarships and employment but of the current 4,200
students who receive about 10
million annually.
With the elimination of the SEOG
program, 668 students will lose
$165,150 and about 160 students will
lose $165,151 with the elimination of
the NDSL program.
Two hundred and fifty students
with awards totaling $189,053,
having income of $25,000 or more,
will lose their Pell Grant funds.
This number represents 15 percent
of the Pell Grant recipients at BU.
In addition, 1,200 students will have
their grants lowered or eliminated
because of changes in needs
analysis.
Eight hundred and fifty students
will lose over $1.5 million if the
GSLP cuts are approved for
families with adjusted gross incomes ove r1 $32,500. In addition, 833
students will lose approximately
$837,756 of GSLP eligibility based
on proposed needs analysis for all
applicants.
To help make up for some of
these cuts, the Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students Auxiliary
Loans (PLUS ) , will be revised and
become m o r e e x p e n s i v e .
Eligibility for this program will be
broadened in the new program but
interest charges and insurance fees
will go up and the .special allowance payments to banks will be dropped.
Eligibility for the PLUS loan will
include all postsecondary students
regardless of their year in school ,
family income, or dependency
status. With this revised program ,
the maximum borrowing levels
will be increased to $4,000 annually
with an aggregate maximum of
$20,000 for undergraduate study.
Borrowers under this program will
be required to pay the interest
costs during the in-school, grace,
and many deferment periods. Principal and additional interest will be
paid toward the loan after
graduation.
The proposed interest rates for
PLUS loans increase from the
current 12 percent per year to the
current 91-day Treasury Bill rate
plus three percent. The government will also charge a one percent
"guarantee fee."
Thus if the rate for a 91-day T-bill
is 11percent, the student will pay 15
percent interest (11 percent T-bill
rate, plus three percent, plus the
one percent guarantee. ')
Lyons wants to know if higher
education is a budget priority and
whether or hot the Reagan Administration considers it an investment in the future. "If they do
believe education is an investment

in the future, they have a funny
way of showing it," says Lyons.
Lyons believes the money being
cut from education and other social
programs is being used to help fund
the major increases in military
spending. "If you look at defense
spending and spending in other
areas since Reagan took office ,"
says Lyons, "you'll see a decrease
in almost all social programs and a
major buildup in our military spending."
"If the administration wants to
balance the budget," adds Lyons,
"they should be looking at military
spending in a most critical way."
According to Lyons, the new
PLUS program is a complex one
that would cause the students to
pay back 164 percent more in interest than they had originally
borrowed. "The process of overburdening students with loans is a
very shortsighted national policy,"
says Lyons.
He says the administration
believes the burden for paying for
higher education should be placed
"squarely on the shoulders of
parents and students" and the
federal government should be out
of the business altogether.
"This concept has some
validity, " says Lyons, "but it isn't
realistic when you look at the
escalation of costs and the decline
of a family's purchasing power.
Families can't do it without some
sort of assistance." .
Pam Shupp, CAS coordinator at
BU , is also involved in trying to
keep the cuts from being approved.
Shupp and her staff organized a
rally on the BU campus with theme
"Send the Real Picture." This
refers to the statement made by
U.S. Secretary of Education
William Bennett whose remark oh
the financial aid cuts was that the
25 percent cut would only cause
"divestiture of cars, stereos , and
three
w e e k - a t - t h e - b ea c h
vacations."
Shupp says, "Bennett was way
out of line and students and parents
were offended by his remark."
Shupp says CAS has asked for an
apology for Bennett's statement.
Shupp believes "it is dangerous
to put a cap on the amount of
money parents can earn so students can get a loan." She believes
there should be equal access to
education and this cannot happen
unless everyone can afford it.
Another aspect of the financial
aid story is the loan default factor.
The GSL program default rate is
from 4 to 10 percent and is considered low in the lending community, but the number of Joans
that are coming into repayment

has jumped considerably in the
past few years.
Lyons notes that the "default
rate of BU students has historically
been consistently below four percent." He adds "the fact that over
96 percent of BU students have
always repaid their loans on time
never seems to get the same attention the relatively few
defaulters receive:"
Steps are being taken to recover
these defaulted loans. The New
York Daily News has named
student defaulters on its front page
during the last few weeks. The
Washington Post and USA Todaj
have published articles on the suits
being filed by the Justice Department. The Education Department
and the Justice Department have
filed 15,000 cases against defaulters
in the last few years.
Richard Hastings, Director of
Debt Collection and Management
Assistance Services for the Department of Education, believes this
kind of headline publicity can help
alter the public's lackadaisical attitude about defaults in federal loan
programs.
Publishing articles and the
names of defaulters is not the only
way to acquire overdue payments.
Hastings is encouraging agencies
to open communication lines with
lenders and schools involved with
the loan program as a way to curb
this abuse.
The financial aid program is a
complex one with many restrictions and limitations. It will be up
to the legislators in Washington to
decide whether or not to tighten the
restrictions and limitations forcing
students out of the program or to
leave them alone and allow those
who need the aid to continue
receiving it.

faculty, and staff who are United Penn MAC cardholders will receive a
mailing from United Penn Bank in May announcing the new system along
with a description of cash prizes to be won in the introductory promotion.
All United Penn MAC cardholders will receive a new QuickBank CashStream card as a substitute for their MAC card .
Banking functions enjoyed previously will still be available with the
new CashStream card.
Students who are not currently MAC cardholders will receive applications to the new machine network .

By July 1, the board of governors
of the State System of Higher
Education will be voting on
wheather or not to raise tuition
costs for Pennsylvania state
schools.
Normally there are three student
government presidents from
schools across the state that serve
as representatives on the board.
However, the present representatives, Gary M. Interdonato, Lock
Haven ; Laurie Reed, Kutztown ;
and Elizabeth R. Ripton, Endinborough, are seniors and will be
graduating in May.
The
three representative
positions are now vacant.
However, Interdonato, Reed and
Ripton were asked to stay on the
board and serve as advisors. This
means that the students have no
voting power.
Interdonato said that having the
position of an advisor and not a
representative means "basically
nothing." He added, "The sure way
to correct it would be to get into the
legislation and change it."

Quest bids for
outdoor equi pment

BETSY BRONG
Voice Contributor
The outdoor equipment which is presently stored in the games room ,
may be in transition. The equipment , which consists of canoes tents, lanterns, stoves, backpacks, and coolers, is presently under the^ control of
the Student Activities Office.
Mike Sowash, associate director of Student Activities, has made a
proposal to the Utilization Committee of the Kehr Union Governing Board
for Quest to have control of the equipment. "The equipment could be a
natural part of their program because they use the outdoors to accomplish their education, just as a professor uses a classroom," says
Sowash;
Some advantages Sowash sees in Quest having control of the equipment
are :
1) better service and care of equipment
2) better location and more space (equipment would be stored in Centennial) .
3) equipment would accomodate year round use
4) provide funds for Quest
5) more equipment tha t could be used for additional programs
6) - qualified personnel working with equipment
Peter Palmisano is presently the only employee who works with the
outdoor equipment. "The equipment is really popular at the beginning of
fall and the end of spring,',' says Palmisano. "It is a good activity for the
students to have available."
Since much of the equipment is old and needs to be replaced , no more
equipment will be rented from the end of the semester until the meeting
of the governing board . It will cost approximately $5,000 to refurbish the
equipment.
The final decision will be made during the summer meeting of the
Utilization Committee of the Kehr Union Governing Board.

recently developed program by
Britt, Tom Lyons, and Charles
Laudermilch. They have j ust
developed a State Work Study Pilot
Program. It will be implemented in
the summer, and consists of the
state paying for half of the students
salary if they are involved in hightech positions, or in helping the
economic development of the community. This will benefit companies who can't afford large
salaries for interns.
Britt's goal for the future is to increase awareness of and participation in the program. This will
be done by heavy marketing in the
fall. Britt plans to advertise more
to students, and to communities
who could use their services. An ad
campaign sponsored by the
Commission
for
Nationa l
Cooperative Education to be aired
this fall is -expected to increse participation by 100 percent. Britt sees
cooperative education as "a wave

of the future".
Another goal Britt has is to
receive funding from the Department of Education. They are
currently funded through Job
Location Development Funds and
by a Cooperative Education supplemental grant
According to Britt, Bloomsburg
students have been very successful
in their internships. They can hold
their own against students from big
name schools such as Penn State
and Syracuse! Students interested
in applying for the many
cooperative education internships
available are urged to contact
Britt. His office is located in Ben
Franklin, room 13.

In the spring of 1984, several DOC
brothers allegedly destroyed
property at the Chi Sigma Rho
sorority house. According to a
member of the sorority, the DOC
brothers "punched a hole in the
wall, smashed plates . and broke a
glass composite picture."
It's because of DOC's lengthy
police record that members of the
fraternity believe that the administration is singling them out
and trying to disband the
organization. They also believe the
judicial board is employing selective enforcement of IFC rules.
"My mam gripe is that we
weren't on probation," says Conner, "In fact, probation wasn't, to
my knowledge, even considered by
IFC." Officers in the fraternity
believe that since other fra ternities
"blatantly haze" in front of the
university community, the charges
should be dropped. Conner and his
brothers also believe that because
they may represent the university
in a negative way, certain administrators want to eliminate
them without giving them due
process and a fair chance to improve as an organized social fraternity.
"I feel that DOC is being unfairly
treated," says Hoffmaster. "If IFC
wants to go by the rules, they
should be charging all fra ternities."
DOC members believe the IFC
has been "looking the other way"
when some fraternities violate
policy. Says a DOC brother,

"Everyone knows that a certain
fraternity hazes pledges in front of
the Union on their hell day, yet
nothing is done to them."
Officers in the fraternity
question whether their group is
being given due process; according
to the 14th Amendment.
Says John Flick, campus lawyer,
"The basis of due process and a
fair proceeding means having an
impartial person for the appeals
process." DOC brothers believe
Dean Norton is not an impartial
judge and even though he offered to
leave the April 25 hearing, the IFC
is still under his influence. One IFC
representative says, "No matter
who the fraternity might appeal to,
Dean Norton has the final
decision."
Due to the alleged discrimination
by university officials and the
recent negative publicity surrounding the arrest of president Phil
Conner, fraternity officers believe
that although a new appeal would
go before a different committee,
the outcome would still be biased
based on the bad publicity.
Says Steve Gibble, IFC representative for DOC, "We want to start
fresh in September and restructure
our organization. It's impossible
for us to appeal now because of the
circumstances."
DOC members also believe that a
new university president will be
more receptive and willing to help
the group. They charge that the Office of Student Life and the Off ice
of the Interim President have been

A weekend with the big kids

LORI TIMBERLAKE
Staff Writer
Looking at the campus of Bloomsburg University this past weekend
one would think that BU was no
longer a college, but a day camp.
April 26 - 28 was designated
Siblings ' Weekend at BU. Nearly
200 kids participated in this years
program that was sponsored by the
Kehr Union Program Board.
Siblings ' Weekend originated in
1974 to, "give the kids the opportunity to see what their big
brother and sister are up to ", says
Mr. John Tratheh of the Student
Life Office. "The idea to originate
this program was taken from the
Parents Weekend program. They
are essentially opposites ".
When Siblings ' Weekend was
created it was a carnival. The carnival was held in the Kehr Union in
Multi-purpose rooms A and B,
where all of the fraternities and
sororities had games and booths
set up. "The carnival idea died out
and we progressed to where we are
now", says Trathen , "by com-

bining Siblings' Weekend with the
Renaissance Jamboree".
The turnout for all of the
scheduled events was excellent.
Both BU students and their
siblings ' participated enthusiastically.
Six year old Scott Daniel Masulis
of Levittown, PA, brother of Kathy
F. Masulis, Special Education
major said, "My favorite part
about Bloomsburg was when my
sister took me to the Renaissance
Jamboree and I won two toy frogs
because I hit the lever and they landed in the lilypads ". He added, "J
also liked the "Muppet Movie" that
was outside".
Scott's reaction to the Scranton
Commons was that he liked it
because he was able to have
anything tha t he wanted.
Ten year old Robby Valentine of
Tamaqua , PA, nephew of Dawn
Greene, Massj Commain ication
major, said that his favorite thing
about BU was, "the girls". "I liked
meeting all of the people ", says
Robby, "eveyone was very friendly

and they treated me well".
The worse part of the experience
for Robby was the anticipa tion of it
all. "My Aunt Dawn said that I
could come about a year ago and
I've been counting the days ever
since".

Eddie Bruno, a sixth grader from
Bethlehem, PA, brother of Nursing
major , Annette Bruno , participated in BU' s Siblings '
Weekend for the second time. When
asked what he thought about
college life Eddie stated, "Now I
know why my sister likes college,
there are always lots of fun things
to do. Everyone seems to have a
good time together. I can 't wait until next year".
Carolee Wiley, a Speech Communications major, who invited
her 16 year old brother, Michael,
said that, "Siblings' Weekend gave
my brother a chance to see what its
like to be on your own. I think he enjoyed the experience and it might
help him to make a decision about
college in the future ".

Agoraphobia - fear of fear

KAREN LEWIS
Voice Contributor
Why would anyone fear and
avoid a seemingly harmless
situation like walking to the
mailbox? Well most people
wouldn't , but to someone who suffers from agoraphobia the fear is
very real.
Agoraphobia is the abnormal
fear of being in open spaces or
more simply, the fear of fear.
Agoraphobia deals with many
unrelated situations , creating a
complex problem , as opposed to a
simple phobia defined as an
irra tional or persistent fear or
dread of a single situation. Walking
to the mailbox, driving a car or the
sound of utensils clinking on plates
are all examples of situations that
can cause an agoraphobic to
become frightened.

Doctors estimate that one out of
every 20 adults is agoraphobic. The
question of who agoraphobia will
afflict is unpredictable , but it
usually surfaces in the late teens or
early aduthood . Some common
characteristics of agoraphobics
are : alcoholism; the inability to be
independent and to recognize their
strengths as an individual; and
perhaps the most significant is
their avoidance of emotions. The
agoraphobic chooses to avoid
feelings an anger or fear rather
than recognize them.
There are no definite answers to
agoraphobia , however many doctors seem to agree that
agoraphobic misinterprets normal
stress symptoms as anxiety and
thus lets it build inside him until he
is afraid he will pass out or die.
Agoraphobics feel threatened by

their lack of self-control and begin
to associate certain situations with
anxiety. If crossing a bridge is the
problem with an agoraphobic, he
learns to associate his initial fear of
bridges to surface every time he
encounters the crossing of one.
With agoraphobia , it is not the
situation that is the problem, it is
actually the anticipation of fear.
Agoraphobia can be treated and
a person suffering from it has a
good chance of recovery . More
than 10,000 people are treated
yearly with a 85 percent recovery
rate. Treatment consists of
phychotherapy to uncover the
cause of the phobic reaction and
followed by behavior therapy.
Recovery comes gradually and involves desensitizing and flooding
techniques for-reducing the anxiety
and altering the behavioral response. If shopping in a mall is the
problem or feared event, the
therapy is to go for just a short
while one day and a little longer
each day after. It is not an easy
thing to accomplish, in fact, the
average recovery takes about one
year due to the common occurrence of relapse. If agoraphobia
is left untreated , fear the avoidance dominate the life thus , leading
the afflicted person to refuse to
leave his home.

Recycling

Second timfe around

LAURIE BLACK
Voice Contributor,
Bloomsburg. University recycles
annually 186 tons of material , and
saves the university over $6,000.
Dr. Mel Woodward, vice-president
of Volunteer Recylding Inc. (VRI) ,
says "In the beginning we didn 't
know what was involved in an institutional setting : there is more involved here than in residential. "
The university began a recycling
program in 1982 using Waller Administration building as a test
area . From there, recycling expanded to all other classrooms. The
bookstore, Scranton Commons,
Ben Franklin, and the library were
already recycling on a regular
basis, before it became mandatory.
Finally, the dorms were added to
now make a total of 28 collection
points on campus.
According to Bloomsburg town
ordinance 672, recycling is mandatory for all Bloomsburg residences. There was a record collection
April 20 from Bloomsburg including the university of 36 tons of

re cyclable material. That was
ei *ht tons more than previous
record.
Collection takes place by VRI on
ca mpus Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. "It takes about four hours
to make rounds through the campus with a small van and two hours
with a large truck," says Joanne
F( dder , secretary for Donald McCc Hough director of the Physical
pLit.
According to Dr. Woodward ,
about 186 tons of material is collected yearly, mostly cans, paper and
ca rdboard from , the university.
Because about three tons fill a
tri ckload, there were 62 fewer
lo< ds going to landfills . This saved
thi ! university over $6,000 in trash
re noval and utility costs. If it
didn't go to recycling, the university would have to have it hauled
av ay, at a price that is increasing.
This helps keep the tuition costs
do vn.
' Presently there is no recycling
profit being made," says Dr. Woodwa rd, in fact they are not even

breaking even. It costs VRI approximately $12,000 to process our
material and they get in return approximately $6,000 a year.
It is cheaper for the university to
recycle their material than to have
it hauled away. "Hauling costs one
dollar a mile and it is about 84
miles to the landfill ," Dr. Woodward says. That, times the 62 extra
truckloads if we did not recycle,
would cost the university over
$5,000 alone just to transport the
trash. Eventually recycling costs
will decrease while the hauling cost
will continue to increase.
VRI is a non-profit organization
that is subsidized by the town,
county, state, and private corpora tions. In the future , they hope
to break even, but prices fluctuate
between 30-60 percent in half year.
Of the money that comes into the
plant, much of it goes into equipment repairs. The bales break
down often. According to Florence
Thompson, President of VRI, the
town recently received a grant

Most people would consider juggling and acrobatics to be unusual pasttimes, but for Thomas Murphy, a physical comedian, the two have
become a way of life. "Murph " has traveled throughout the United States
and Europe for the past 10 years performing an average of three comedy
shows a week.
"Murph " performed twice on campus during Siblings' Weekend.
Everyone seemed to have a good time. As Elisa Smith said, "It was interesting, entertaining, something the whole campus could enjoy.''
Most of "Murph's" act consists of juggling and balancing objects . Some
highlights of his show are juggling three clubs while riding a six foot
unicycle, balancing three chairs on his chin at one time, and juggling
three fire torches. Murph's most difficult stunt is balancing himself on
the top of a ladder while juggling three clubs. At various times throughout
the show, he also does acrobatic moves such as somersalts and back flips.
Murph keeps the audience involved in his performance. He constantly
singles people out and makes jokes about them, and even has a few volunteers come up oh stage to assist in his stunts. Ted Hodgins believes that
adds to his performance. He said : "He was very personable and seems
interested with the the audience. He kept everyone laughing." A favorite
part of the show for most people was when "Murph" made creative little
figures out of balloons and gave them out randomly to people in the
audience.
Murph first became interested in physical comedy while working in
Stowe, Vermont as a gymnastics teacher. He met a juggler who was interested in learning gymnastics, so as "Murph " puts it, "I taught him to
tumble and he taught me to juggle in return. " The two men worked out
together regularly after that. Few months later they put together an act
with a lot of acrobatics and j uggling in it Their act went over so well they
continued performing together for five years before splitting up and
doing solo routines.
Besides being a performer, "Murph" is also a teacher. He taught at
Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Clown College for awhile, and
recently returned fron Denmark where he insturcted a ju ggling course.
Murph is working to make a name for himself. He said : "I'm pushing
hard to get my act on television. " He hopes to soon be on "The Johnny
Carson Show" or "Late Night With David Letterman."

vironmental Resources. This will
be used to buy equipment such as
balers and trucks.
"There is about 12,500 tons of
waste generated by the campus
community but they get only 3,000
tons of recycling," says Dr. Woodward. We need to make recycling
more convient for the users, more
containers all over campus and
identify them as recycling not
trash.
Soda cans are one of the biggest
recycling losses on campus. The
soda is purchased by the student
and then they walk away, and
deposit the empty can in the
nearest trash can. Dr. Woodward
plans to put recycling containers in
all classrooms and by the vending
machine in hopes the .students will
put their empty cans in the
recycling containers.
One recycling truck comes on
campus three times a Week to pick
up recyclables, yet the soda trucks
come six times a week. There are
57,300 cases of soda dropped off at
the college a year. At one pound of
aluminum a case that is "57,300
pounds of aluminum, with an outside potential of 28 tons, and approximately $600 per ton.
Dr. Woodward believes "people
generally have a receptive and
wholesome attitude about the
whole thing" however getting
people to cooperate by putting the
cans in recycling containers is
another thing.
Thompson believes the university has potential to recycle
tremendous amounts of office
paper, including notebook paper,
newspapers, and cans. There is a
need for a bigger recycling push in
the dorms. The problem comes
when you educate one dorm. In a
year the people have moved out
and you have to educate the new
people.

Dr. Woodward talks to the orientation students about the recycling
program at Bloomsburg, so they
know what to expect when they
come to BU. There is plans on
having more visible recycling containers, posters , and a bigger push
in the dorm.
The university is also planning to
send a letter to all the landlords encouraging them to emphasize
recycling with their tenants. The
rate of off campus participation is
a lot lower than the town. The VRI
collect door to door on Saturdays
and have stopped going to Sesame
Street because in the past they
have not had anything there for the
VRI truck to pick up.
"I am not saying they don't
recycle," says Thompson, "maybe
they take it to the recycling
shelters. It's not like they don't use
bottles or cans there."
A survey done in half the town
resulted in the students agreeing it
is good but still they don't do it.
"Students are residents and must
obey the laws of the town," Thompson remarks.
The penalty for not recycling involves up to a $300 fine or 30 days in
jail depending on the courts.
Dr. Woodward believes that this
decade of throw away and convience food is causing trouble. Now
we are encouraging not to throw
away but recycle. "If the person
who generates waste doesn't
separate it, then it's lost."

Many students are unaware that
Bloomsburg University has a
program which enables students to
study abroad in countries of their
choice.
The program allows students to
study abroad, regardless of their
academic standing. Financial aid
is still available to these students,
and the cost of tuition is usually the
same as BUP. The student needs to
pay for airfare and room and
board , which may vary depending
on the country. Some students,
however, choose to live with
families who reside near the
university. Students must also
receive the approval of their
faculty advisor and the registrar to
insure that the credits will transfer.
Dr. William Carlough, chair of
the department of philosophy and
anthropology at BUP, and director
of the extended studies program,
believes the university needs better
methods to get such information to
the students. "Many students don 't
know of the program or wait too
long," Carlough says, explaining
that many juniors and seniors are
unable to participate in the
program because of lack of time.
Fifteen BUP students are
studying abroad this year. Some
are involved in a six week exchange program with the Liverpool
Poly-Technical Institute. The
Bloomsburg students pay tuition
and board for their Liverpool exchange, and they pay tuition and
board in Liverpool for the BUP

These students will receive 12

remaining three are variable

Carlough's program also offers
summer sessions where students
can study abroad. These sessions
are of a three to six week duration.
There is a three week art program
this summer in Pavia, Italy, for six
credits. The cost will be about $1500
for airfare, room and board , and all
meals for three weeks.
Kristin Myers , a junior majoring
in Mass Communications , studied
in Austria last summer. "The
credits I received in Salzburg were
worth every penny of what I had to
spend for them," she says. The cost
for tuition, room and board, and
round trip airfare was $1850.

universities is part of the Pennsylvania Consortion for International Education (PCIE).
This program organizes nationwide trips overseas. BUP not only
sends students to study abroad, but

the Bloomsburg students are
business majors, the other two are
liberal arts majors. All four students were three-year French students, and after studying at the
University of Nancy, will have
enough credits for a minor in French.
The BUP business students do a
two and a half month paying internship in a French business. The
remainder of the semester is a
seminar at the university. The
liberal arts majors do a mini internship for six credits and take 12
credit hours of humanity courses:
Foureman wants to keep the
program small because, "I must
find internships in the area for the
French students , and this is
sometimes difficult to do. ''
Foureman believes that studying
abroad is worth the money, and
strongly suggests travel to all
students.

Through BUP's program it is more
economical for students than if
they made the arrangements on

mine and design the proper base
for the bridge. "We wouldn't even
consider putting in a bridge without
the proper foundation," says McCulloch.
The standard procedure would be
to do the test bores prior to devising
a contract, but McCulloh says, "We
chose to include the test bores as
part of the contract." Under the
topsoil they found ash, brick,
cement, and garbage, and the only
way to design a stable base is to
drill steel beams, 25 feet down into
the ground to reach the bedrock
beneath the ash.
McCulloh says, "When we wrote
the contract, we had no idea what
was underground. By doing that
test bores, we found these unusual
conditions." This required extra
work, and so a sub-contract was
made as an extension to the
o r i g i n a l c o n tr a c t , w h i c h
automatically pushed back the
completion date.
This increased the contract both
in time and in cost. The original
contract started out at $120,000.
The cost incurred by the extra
work involved was $18,000, which
was picked up by the university.
"We anticipated the extra cost, no
matter how much," says McCulloch , "We were committed to
the project and we had to make
sure it was done properly." McCulloch is confident that the pur-

chase of the overpass saved the
university thousands of dollars. "It
would cost close to a half of a
million dollars as a new construction," he says "Because we're
buying it as an existing bridge ,
we're spending one third of the
cost, than if we were to start from
scratch."
McCulloch believes that the
process is progressing at a normal
pace, "not too fast and not too
slow." "I'm looking forward to the
completion of the crosswalk just as
much as everyone else is!"

taught courses over in Austria for
the past three summers and once

says Carlough.
Dr. Carlough believes it is an excellent idea to study abroad, and
encourages students to take a
foreign language. He explains that
presently the American dollar is
doing well in Europe , and that now
is a good time to study abroad .
Carlough also believes that a term
abroad , "looks good on a resume."
Dr.
Arianne Foureman ,
professor of French at BUP, also

experience for them."

Originally it was going to be completed earlier in the year, but it has

County United Way. BU president,
Dr. Larry Jones, currently on the
volunteer Board of Directors of the
C.C.U.W., says, "BU is one of the
largest contributors to the agency."
Also on the Board is Tom Da vies,
Director of the Career Development Center, Charles Carlson,
Dean of Graduate Studies, and
George Turner, of the History
Department. Davies says they do
much of the fund raising on campus. "I'm in charge of Ben

Franklin ," he says, "and we each
have our own areas for collecting."
By donating money to the United
Way, most charities in the area
benefit.
Since the university adds about
5,000 students to the Bloomsburg
population , Jones says "It's our
responsibility to be good citizens."
Jones and other BU adminstrators
meet with town and county officials
once a week for a community
breakfast , during which time the
college and town discuss contribution plans and receive feedback on what they 're doing. He
says the breakfast is a chance to
see how the college is doing in
regards to the community.
In addition to employee contributions, Delta Pi fra ternity also
donated $500 to the local United
Way. The fra ternity raised the
money by working as security at
two BU concerts and also received
a Community Service Award from
C.C.U.W. on April 10. John
Thomas , executive director of the
C.C.U.W. says he is very pleased
with the university's contributions
and "is looking forward to working
even more closely with the students
and staff. "

Before we don the beaches with
our bikinis and swimming trunks,
before we smell the hearty aroma
of our first summer cookout, and
before we can enjoy the freedom
and vivacity of summer, we must
do one thing first. Get through
finals.
That time of the school year has
come around again when students
must pull together all of their
acquired knowledge from the entire semester and put forth one last
effort to make due this semester.
This semester 's finals will be held
the week of May 5th-llth.
For a majority of the students,
finals are a time of stress, worry,
and a lot of pressure for them.
Freshman Jolene Bright believes
"Finals are pointless, they put so
much pressure on you because you
have tests in all classes at the
same time and that is a chance to
do bad. They are worth too much
of your grade and that could hurt
you, they should help you."
But , for few other students, finals
can be something to benefit from.
Najma-: Virmani, who believes
finals, give,her one last chance to
show her efforts sof this - semster

says, Finals can be very stressful,
but I feel this is the real test. This is
when you can reap your rewards
and show exactly how much you
really have learned."
For those of you who feel the
stress and the worry brought about
from this time of year , Jim Mullen ,
reading coordinator for the Center
for Academic Development, offers
a few tips that might help you.
Mullen says that the cognitive
ability to learn, process, and store
information is contained in the left
hemisphere of the brain. In order to
work these abilities to their fullest
potential, we must have control of
our emotions, which are controlled
in the right hemisphere.
If our fears, tensions and worries
are under one control, our minds
will be free to learn and store information in the short-term
memory and then transfer that information into our long-term
memory, which is where we
remember things most.
This weekend, many will begin to
study for finals. They will set out to
process and store information
material that will be necessary in
order to do well on finals. With a
clear and relaxed state of mind,
this job can be done better.

External fundi

(Continued from Page 4)
gift came from Marco and Louise
Mitrani. The Mitrani 's donated
$500,000 to the university for the
establishment of the "Marco and
Louise Mitrani Scholarships" fund.
The relationship with , the Mitranis
has been "long and positive,"
Ianiero continued, "the Mitrani's
have always had a close relationship with the university."
Other cash donations include a
$40,000 anonymous gift to be used
for the renovation of Haas Center
of the Arts, $19,200 from Air
Products & Chemicals for the
renovation of the student computer
lab, and the sponsorship of a $12,000
scoreboard by United Penn Bank,
Perdue Farms, Inc., Pepsi Cola,
and Coca Cola. Additional
donations were received from Berwick Forge & Fabricating,
Bethlehem Steel, Kawneer, a
$75,000 anonymous deferred gift
that will be used for scholarships,
and IBM stock that was donated by
an anonymous individual.
In addition to the external corporate and private funds, there are
alumni contributions.
In 1984, approximately $179,000
was contributed through the alumni annual fund. Doug Hippenstiel,
director of Alumni Affairs, works
directly with the Alumni
Association in conducting the annual fund drive.
The national average participation by alumni is approximately 13 percent. The participation level at Bloomsburg
University is between 20-25 percent, almost double the national
average.
Assisting Ianiero in the Development Office is Peggy Bailey who

works primarily with the federal
grants area . Bailey develops
faculty sponsored projects. Approximately one million dollars
was received in 1984, Ianiero said.
Two of the largest single grants
are $153,870 from the U.S. Department of Education to sustain the
university's Upward Bound
program and $150,000 from the
Pennsylvania Department of
Labor Green Thumb program for
30 part-time older workers on campus.
According to Ianiero, "The
university, in all of its relationships, must maintain a positive
relationship with the donor or funding agency."
There are different reasons that
the university will ask a corporation employs many B.U.
graduates, the firm 's histroy of
giving, the relationsip of the corporation to the major program of
study with the university,
geographic area served by the
university as well as the corpora tion , or if there is a special
project where the interests of the
college meet the donor's.
In addition to Ianiero, the Cooperative Education Office, Career
Planning and Placement, and a
variety of other offices and departments have an important role to
play in the maintaining good
relations with potential donors.
According to John L. Walker ,
Bloomsburg University's vicepresident for institutional advancement, "I am very encouraged by the early successes
achieved by Mr. Ianiero. I have
great confidence in the university's
ability to raise funds from external
sources and with the help of the
university community, I think Mr.
Ianiero will enjoy much success. "

West Hazleton's top all-time scorer

Lorenzi chooses BU

Theresa Lorenzi, the all-time career scoring leader in West Hazleton
basketball history, recently announced that she will continue her.j nv
pressive basketball career at Bloomsburg University. Prior to her
decision, Theresa had been contacted by 42 other colleges and universities throughout the nation, including North Carolina , Oklahoma , St.
Johns, Virginia Tech and the University of Scranton, last season's NCAA
Division III national champion.
Lorenzi has been the Hazleton area 's girl's basketball scoring champion for the past two years and was recently awarded the Maury Barletta
Memorial Award as the area 's top female athlete. In addition, she has
been a member of a number of all-start teams including being selected to
Second Team All-State squad. "
She scored 841 points in her senior season to give her a career total of
1,688 points. The Wildcats posted a 23-7 record in 1984-85 and won their
second consecutive District Eleven title. Lorenzi was also recently selected as the All-Anthracite ''Player of the Year" by the Reading Eagle.
Bloomsburg head coach Sue Hibbs was very pleased with the 5'8"
Lorenzi's decision to attend the Central Pennsylvania School. "We are
delighted that Theresa will be wearing maroon and gold next season and
are anxious to mesh her talents with our returning players. She will give
us some versatility and offensive power. I suspect she will be most
valuable to our roster as a wing forward, but certainly she could be an
asset at the shooting guard position also. She handles the ball well and instinctively reads her opponents on defense.
"Theresa has had good coaching, tough competition and solid family
support, all of which can only forecast continued success in college ball
for this outstanding young woman."
In addition to her exploits on the basketball court, Theresa has participated in the Pennsylvania Keystone Games, AAU Junior Olympics
and has been invited to participate in the Mid-State Roundball Classic.
She has also been a member of the girl 's varsity track team at West
Hazleton where she holds school records in the long jump, triple jump, 300
intermediate hurdles and contributed to a school record in the 400 meter
relay.
As a student, Lorenzi has been inducted into the National Honor Society
and has been a member of the School Spirit Club, Hi-Jinx Club and the
Homecoming Queen's Court.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reno Lorenzi, Weston, and a granddaughter of Mrs. Joseph Bolinsky and the late Joseph Bolinsky of Bloomsburg .

trying to oust the fraternity for
some time. They believe that this
constitutes selective enforcement.
Interim President Larry Jones
says, "The fraternity is not an
asset. If you have a history of it
(violations ) , you pay the penalty. "
He adds, "I don't think we can let
groups get away with mayhem."
Dean Norton refused to comment
on the appeals process and the
charges surrounding DOC. He
says, "It is not university policy to
disclose that kind of information ."
According to a member of the
fraternity, DOC is "a scapegoat
and expections are made by IFC
regarding the hazing of pledges in
other fraternities." Members of
other fraternities and sororities admit to hazing their pledges,
although it is not widespread
among all Greek organizations.
Hazing involves the "mental or
physical humiliationstress of a
pledge. " Several reported incidents include forced excessive

drinking, forced excessive exercise, and forcing pledges to sit on
blocks of ice naked until they
require medical treatment. Other
recent offenses have included forcing pledges to be blindfolded for
extensive periods of time, some for
up to seven hours.
Because of these other alleged
cases of hazing, DOC feels their 's is
a case of selective enforcement.
The next step they will take in the
process is unsure at this time.

On Monday April 22, Skoal Bandits, Bloomsburg University 's
weighlifting club and BU Men 's Intramural Department held a campus bench press contest. The event
was one of three bench press contests held during the fall and spring
semester this year.
This was the first bench press
contest in which there was more
than one'promoter. In the first two
contests the men's intramural
department ran the campus-wide
event. A strive was made to get
more sponsors involved. In fact,
more sponsors did get involved as
Skoal Bandits and the Weight Lifting Club became active participa ting groups.
Skoal Bandits were very
generous in the campus event and
did donate ten trophies. Three
trophies were being given out for
each weight class. This totaled nine
of the trophies. Skoal also donated
an overall trophy.
The Weighlif ting Club was
responsible for the spotters and
judges were used to make the meet
run smoothly.
There were three weight classes
used to compute the winners and
places of each category. The lightweight , middleweight and
heavyweight classes were the
criteria for awarding the Skoal
trophies.
The lightweight class had the
smallest turnout of the three
weight classifications. The weight
division was up to 155 pounds. Jack
Rudio was the only competitor in
this division. Rudio bench pressed

255 pounds, while weighing 137
pounds. .
The middleweight division was
the most competitive group of the
three classes. This division 's
weight range was from over 155
pounds to 185 pounds. Rick Ianieri
was the overall winner of this
division. Ianieri bench pressed 345
pounds while weighing just 164
pounds. Second place went to Rich
King with a 295 pound bench press
and third place was taken by Todd
Newman with a 285 pound bench
press. Tom .Yoniski and Troy Rice
were fourth and fifth , respectively.
The heavyweight division was
won by Curt Bauer. Buer bench
pressed 375 pounds, while weighing
204 pounds. Hank Haidacher was
the second place finisher with his
310 pound bench press, and his
brother, Jim was the third place
finisher with a 290 pound bench
press.
The overall trophy given Out was
taken by Rick Ianieri. Rick bench
pressed well over double
bodyweight to win this award. The
second and third place contenders
for this award were Jack Rubio and
Curt Bauer, respectively.
A special thanks to spotters and
judges who actively made this contest run well. Thank you George
Larock, Rich King, Curt Bauer,
Tom Yoniski and especially Bart
Horner. Without Horner's help the
meet would not have taken place
Horner is a Skoal Bandits representatives who made it possible for the
trophies to be given out. Horner
also had bandits, bumper stickers,
and Skoal Long cut to give the entrants.

Good luck to all teams partici pating in PSAC

BU ready for third appearance

The Bloomsburg University softball team will be looking to win its
third consecutive Pennsylvania
Conference Championships this
Friday and Saturday, May 4-5, at
Ber-Vaughn Park in Berwick, Pennsylvania.
Joining the Huskies in this year 's
tournament will be Shippensburg,
the second entrant from the PC
Eastern Division, along with Lock

Haven and Edinboro representing
the PC's Western Division. The
opening game will be Friday at 11
a.m. with Bloomsburg vs. Edinboro followed by the Lock Haven Shippensburg contest at 1:30 p.m.
The two first round losers will meet
at 4 p.m. while the two winners battle at 6 p.m. Saturday 's action will
see games at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
with the final game set for 3, if

Huskies hoping for 6 out of 7
The Bloomsburg University Huskies will seek to regain the title they
lost a year ago after a five-year reign as Pennsylvania Conference champions this Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, at the PC Men 's Tennis
Championships at Shippensburg .
Action begins at 9 a.m. on Friday in the 12-team event which saw West
Chester capture the crown in 1984 after coach Burt Reese's squad had
won championships in each season from 1979 through 1983. Matches will
be contested through the quarterfinals in the singles competition and the
semi-finals in doubles play. The tournament will conclude on Saturday
with singles semi-finals and finals in both the singles and doubles.
The Huskies would have entered the tournamen t as the pre-event
favorite after handing the defending champion Rams a 6-3 defeat earlier
this season, however, the loss of captain Rob Lario, in both the singles
and doubles due to a foot injury, forces number six and seven players
Steve Augustine and Dean Doria to each move up one position. In addition, Lario and partner Scott Gibbs will not have the opportunity to
defend the flight one title they won last season.
Sophomore Mike Casari, Hazleton, carries BU's hopes at No. 1 singles
where he has compiled a 22-13 record this year. He had a 6-2 mark in PC
dual competition including a 6-2, 6-1 triumph over defending conference
champion Mike Schnably of West Chester.
Another second year performer, Tim Mitchell, Mechanicsburg, battled
illness most of the spring but has come on strong lately and stands at 18-13
entering the tourney at No. 2 singles. Mitchell was 4-2 in conference action. The third sophomore in the Huskies' top three, Scott Gibbs, Bellport,
NY, will represent the team in the flight three singles. The only lefthander on the team has built an 18-13 slate which includes a 5-0 PC
record.
Junior Michael Penny, Lima, Peru, the oldest member of the Huskies'
starting lineup, will be at No. 4 singles. He has compiled a 23-11 record
which includes seven victories in eight PC outings.
Augustine is 16-8 overall but has risen to the task since moving up in the
lineup with six wins in seven matches. Two of the five triumphs have
come in league play where he is 5-2.
The lone freshman in the BU lineup is number six player Dean Daria ,
Scranton. He saw limited action early in the campaign but since moving
into the singles on a regular basis, has a 10-4 mark with a 4-0 record in the
conference.
Other than at No. 2 doubles where Casari will team with Doria as they
have throughout the spring, the Huskies will field a pair of units that have
seen very limited action together. At first doubles, Mitchell will move into
replace Lario and team with Gibbs. The duo has only a 2-1 mark. Casari
and Doria have a 13-7 record at the second position, and the departure of
Mitchell at No. 3 doubles has led to the teaming up of Penny and
Augustine. They have a 6-1mark entering the tournament.
As in past tournaments, balance will be the key and for a successful
venture this weekend, BU will need a solid first-day performance from
the entire squad.

necessary.
Head coach Jan Hutchinson's
Huskies are currently 31-4 overall,
12-0 in the conference, and have
won 25 of their last 26 ball games.
Sophomore Sue Kocher, who
tossed three consecutive no-hitters
during the 1984 season, once again
has dominated on the mound for
the Huskies this season. She has
compiled a 14-1 record and has an
ERA of just 0.20. In addition, she
has struck out 120 of the 384 batters
she has faced.
Along with Kocher, junior Chris
Moyer (10-2) and freshman Jill
Solinski (7-1) have combined to
give the Huskies' pitching staff a
combined ERA of 0.35, allowing
only 12 earned runs in 240 innings.
In addition to their fine performances on the mound, the
Huskies have compiled a team batting average of .301. Freshman outfielder Suzanne Luna leads the way
with a .395 average, including four
doubles, six triples, three home
runs and 2l RBI's.
Other leading hitters for Bloomsburg include junior second
baseman Karen Hertzler ( .360) , the
team leader in hits (40) , walks (16) ,
stolen bases (8) and runs (30); outfielders Deb Schneiderhan ( .377)
and Kate Denneny ( .323) ; and
Kocher (.345 and 17 RBI's). In the
Huskies' 35 games this season, they
have outscored their opponents 17533.
Leading the way for Shippensburg is Kim Bedford, who
heads four offensive categories for
the Red Raiders. She is third on the
team with a .351 batting average,

but tops in hits (27 ) , doubles (3) ,
home runs (3) and runs batted in
(21). The best performer at the
plate this season has been Penny
Wiker, who is hitting at a .393 pace,
while Shelly Kramer is batting .381.
Kramer is also one of the Red
Raiders' pitchers and has built a 72 record with an 0.82 earned run
average. Shippensburg 's mound
ace is Denise Dombach with a 9-1
mark and an 0.95 ERA with Lori
Fox showing a 4-1 slate and a 1.66
ERA. The Red Raiders are hitting
at a .285 clip as a team and have a
20-4 record going into the weekend.
Lock Haven and Edinboro will
enter the tournament following a
forfeit by the latter in a game that
was to decide the first seeded team
from the western division. Lock
Haven will, therefore, face the Red
Raiders in the first round of the
tourney while Edinboro will play
Bloomsburg.
Lock Haven sports a 17-1.1record
overall, 8-2 in the conference.
Leading the way for the Bald
Eagles is Sandy Staib, who is hitting .315 with 29 hits, including five
home runs and 21 RBI's. In addition, Staib has also compiled a 6-5
record on the mound with a 1.21
ERA, and she has won her last five
consecutive games.
Kim Hasson (.355, 12 RBI's) and
Kathy Kreisher (.388, five doubles,
14 RBI' s) also contribute to the
Lock Haven offense. Kreisher also
performs for the Bald Eagles on
the mound and has a 5-5 record and
1.86 ERA. Dawn Schnitzer rounds
