CGA banquet cancelled
in answer to outcry
by Karen Rqss
Staff Writer

Senate members voted to reject
the banquet and proposed referendum at the Community Government Association meeting Monday
night.
The controversial banquet was
cancelled after CGA discussed
alternatives for financing it. "We
have several options," CGA President Sean Mullen said . "Have a
banquet as planned and use CGA
funds, have everyone pay their own
way, or just cancel it."
Letters to the Voice from
students showing concern about
CGA funding their own banquet
prompted the senate to re-evaluate
their reasons for passing the proposal last semester. ' 'The student
body perceives we are giving
ourselves a banquet because we
deserve it ," Mullen said . "We feel
we've earned it , not deserve it. "
Senator Don Chomiak, who made
the initial comment "we deserve
it " reconsidered his view. "Before
the responses to the Voice, I would
have seconded the motion to fund
our banquet again. But now we
have to talk about it. It 's obvious
the students don 't want it." Senator
Todd Tolarica said because CGA
funds activities for other organizations, they should be allowed to
fund the banquet for themselves.
However, some students believe
CGA is not justified in paying for

their own banquet because it conflicts with financing guidelines.
Mullen said double standards
exist everywhere. "We give
awards for athletics but not to any
other organizations'. We give
uniforms to music, but no one else.
There are always exceptions made.
We had an opportunity to go to a
leadership conference in Florida
but did not ask for the money
because we were afraid of student
response," he added.
Some thought the trip would
have been a better way to use
money. Band President Kathi
Richards said by going to a leadership conference "they would be
representing Bloomsburg University and would have something to
bring back for us."
A referendum devised to make
changes in the constitution less
time consuming by eliminating a
student vote was to appear on the
Feb. 13 election ballot. It was shot
down by senators concerned about
students ' rights. The fact that many
students do not vote also was
considered.
"This is a terrible proposal ,"
Mark Hoover, SOAR representative, said. "It is dismissing any
say the students have in.CGA . It 's
a lot more serious than spending
some of their money on a banquet."
"To me," said Senate Member
Kerry Eck , "if one student turns
out , it 's worth it."

Don Chomiak and Tim Keffer,GGA presidential candidates,participated in the debate held in the union last night.

This accident was the result of a tractor trailer backing down the hill after unloading materials
at the Union loading dock. The trailer's brakes locked and the driver made several unsuccessful
attempts to unlock them. After receiving permission to drag the trailer out of the lot, he tried
once more to unlock the brakes. When this failed,he began dragging the trailer up the hil but
only reached so far. As he jumped out of the cab to survey the situation,the trailer's brakes suddenly unlocked,sending the trailer backwards down the hill into the parked cars. Had the driver
not reacted quickly and stopped the trailer, more damage would have occurred.

Increased communication
urged by both candidates

' 'The position of president is not
a prize to be won, it is something
the students should take very
seriously," said present CGA
President Sean Mullen, at Wednesday 's presidential debate.
Over 50 people attended the
debate in Kehr Union and posed
a variety of questions to presidential candidates Don Chomiak and
Tim Keffer.
An increased communication
system between CGA and the
students was a common goal
discussed by both candidates.
Measures must be taken to encourage student involvement with
CGA, said Chomiak. "Using The
Voice, I would invite letters. That
is the easiest way to keep students
informed."
Creating a president 's council
and setting aside time for students,
as in an open hours policy, were
other measures discussed by
Chomiak.
Keffer believes goals must be
realistic if they are to be achieved. He also believes more student

involvement will lead to a greater
awareness and understanding of
CGA.
Input from student organizations, committees and teams is
needed to assure an effective relationship between CGA and the student body, said Keffer.
The senate was a major topic,
concerning senate responsibility
and measures to ensure continued
involvement with their constituents. "When the senators are
elected, they must realize their
responsibility to their constituents," said Keffer. They have to
go back to the students they represent and listen to their questions
and views.
Keffer believes the CGA constitution is outdated and suggests
changes be made to require continual senate contact with their
constituents.
Chomiak agrees with Keffer that
it is the senator 's responsibility to
go back to the students they represent and talk and listen to them .
Chomiak recognizes the
senators are the link between CGA
and the students-they are the line
of communication from CGA,
keeping the students informed ,

Parents help children learn to
read with aid fro mnew p rogram
by Melissa Menapace
Staff" Writer

Two and a half years ago the
number of children attending the
reading clinic became too large for
the space and staff available. In
response to the need , Edward
Poostay, Ph .D., director of the
reading clinic , formed the Mom
and Pop Reading Project to teach
parents to help their childre n with
reading comprehension , spelling
and stud y skills.
The techniques are much the
same as those used in the regular
tutoring clinic. Parents and
childre n participate in the one
semester program. "Most parents
aren ' t teachers.*" said Diane Estack
of Berwick , who attended the program with her six-year-old
daug hter Caro lyn. "Teachers
would send home homework and
say 'hel p your child with these
twenty words,' and I'd have no idea
how. I came home from the
reading clinic in shock at how easy
it was to help her read . They are
simple things but they work ".

In the first part of the Saturday
morning session , the parents are
shown techni ques to. help their
childre n read . They are simp le
methods such as using Scrabble
tiles to spell unfamiliar words and
encourag ing the child to ask
himself questions while reading.
Meanwhile, the children are supervised by elementary and earl y
childhood education majors in activities such as creative writing or

listening to stories. The student
aides observe as the parents teach
the new techni ques to their
children and discuss the results
with Dr. Poostay.
Thirty to 35 children ages six to
12 and their parents have partici pated in the Mom and Pop
Reading Project each time it has
been offered. Many of the children
now attend the reading clinic 's
regular tutorial services.
The parents who partici pated
have been pleased and enthusiastic.
Frequent comments on the unsigned evaluations returned to Dr.
Poostay include "very worthwhile " and "an enjoyable experience. " Diane Estack was
pleased with the tremendous improvement in her daug hter ' s
read ing.
Melinda Miller, student aide
during the spring semester of 1985,
felt it hel ped the children and gave
her valuable experience for her
student teaching and future career.
Some comments by student aides
included , "I think it teaches while
it gives you experience," and "I
loved it. "

Communication urged
by candidates
(continued from page 1)
"I believe I can create enough
motivation so we won't have to
resort to schoolboy tactics (regarding the senators fulfilling their
responsibilities)," said Chomiak .
Interest was given to the parking situation and both candidates
agree there is a definite problem.
A second tri-level was a proposed
solution , but both Chomiak and
Keffer realize the extreme expense
and inability of CGA to contribute
financially. Both agree this problem will continue, but realize it
is a problem they will have to deal
with in the future.
Chomiak and Keffer agree that
university-town relations are good
now and are prepared to deal with
any problems that may arise.
The Commonwealth Association

candidates as a valuable organization CGA should support.

should be placed on involvement
in other activities to know what
other groups are doing," said
Chomiak. "Being involved in
other activities, such as Forensics,
theatre and The Voice," said
Chomiak, "I think I understand
what other groups are doing and
what they need."
Chomiak stressed again the need
for constant communication. He
"believes it comes down to
cooperation '', to ensure a healthy
relationship between CGA and the
student body.
"Not having been affiliated with
this present administration , I feel
I can go into this office with an objective and optimistic attitude
about CGA as a whole, said
Keffer.
He believes there are three basic
aspects to the jo b of CGA president and believes he is qualified in
each, aspect. .

As an accounting major, Keffer
thinks his education in finance will
be an asset in the financial aspect.
In the public relation aspect , he
believes his personality is one
which will allows him to be a good
representative of the student body
and a good ambassador for the
university. For the work aspect ,
Keffer feels he is "motivated
enough to do the job right and put
the work in that the job requires.''
Overall , both candidates expressed their interest in obtaining
the CGA presidential position , as
well as, establishing better communication between CGA and the
student body. .

Senate meeting

Tru e medium of
open expression

! went to the senate meeting
Monday ni ght under the impression that it was a medium for open
discussion and expression of one 's
views on the issues being discussed. I was wrong !
1 was listening to President
Mullen answe r a question from
Kenny Roberts when Mullen
began to talk about the various
double standard s within the
system, one. which according to
Mullen , included The Voice.
As 1 listened. I realized that
Mullen 's statement about The
Voice was incorrect
As the editor of The Voice I felt
a need to correct Mullen. I. along
with about five other peop le, raised my hand. I waited patiently

Students urged to
'get out and vote'

Dear Editor ,
I am writing this to make sure
everybody gets out and votes on
CGA election day.
In the past few issues of The
Voice I have heard people complain about their senate members
and the executive committee for
having a banquet. If the students
don 't want this to happen again,
they should get more involved in
the election .
I not necessarily saying for them
to run for CGA , but to go to the
debate , listen to what the candidates have to say.
As for the candidate s, they
should be forced to get out into the
public eye. Not just on election
day, where they hang out outside
the commons and beg people to
vote for them , it 's too late then.
They should be campaigning
NOW, or else this years elections
will be like everyone in the past .
A popularity contest.

while Mullen answered questions or directed everyone else 's
questions to the proper senator.
When I was the onl y person left
with my hand raised. Mullen looked at me and then at the clock
above my head and stated that time
was up on this discussion and it
would onl y be continued if a motion was made to extend it another
five minutes. It was not and I was
left with my hand in the air.
I was shocked that I had been
evaded so openl y by Mullen.
Mullen and I had 'exchanged
greetings before the meetin g
started. He had also asked me personall y for a comment when the
floor had been opened for discussion earlier in the meeting. I decided not to make a scene at the
meeting and left a few minute s
later.
1 don ' t know what to think of
our governing system when I cannot even voice an opinion at an
open meeting . Did Mullen know
what I was going to say? Did he
realize his comment had been
wro ng and didn 't want me to correct him?
I don 't know if this happens to
even-one or just the people Mullen
believes are going to correct him
or argue with him. but I don ' t appreciate it at all. I don 't believe it
is ethical either. Everyone deserves
to voice their opinion , whether or
not someone else agrees with it or
not.
Christine Lyons
Don ' t just vote for a name, vote
for what a person wants to do.
Remember, whoever you vote for
will be in that office for a year, and
afte r he is elected , there is nothing
you can do about it.
Now is the time to do something
about it.
GET OUT AND VOTE.

Demand effe ctiveness from
elected government
After all the controversy over the
CGA banquet and the letters we
have received . I decided to attend
Monday 's senate meeting and see
how the senators were going to
resolve this issue.
After roll call, the discussion
was immediatel y centered on the
banquet. I was surp ised to find that
even after all the negative feedback, some of the senators still felt
the banquet should go on as
planned .
One senator didn ' t believe any
fu rther discussion was necessary
on this subject. Another senator
believed that his constituents didn 't
reall y mind if the banquet went
ahead as planned. (I guess he
doesn ' t read The Voice. ) Some
senators believed that to back out
on this banquet would be a cop out
and they didn ' t feel that was the
ri ght thing to do.
I was happy to hear though , that
some of the senators were taking
the student reaction seriousl y. Jill

Goodnight
Dear Editor:
Do they really care? It is now
three o'clock in the morning on
this very day as I ty pe this letter
on the terminal in 'the Voice office.
Everybody has left , but yet I stay
behind , typ ing this letter as the last
bit of copy to fit this small space.
I have probably played a bad trick
on you by telling you I would type
a letter to the editor, and typing
this.
Anyway, I just want to let
somebody out there, somewhere,
know that someone is working
very hard and will not get any
sleep for the second Wednesday in
a row. I'll be on the road to Danville in three hours to get the Voice
published in Danville.

Jeff Cox

Li pp incott , vice-president of
CGA , was not present at the
meeting when the senate approved themselves the banquet , and on
Monday, she had a few things to
say against it.
She warred to know how many
senators reall y felt they deserved
a banquet . She asked the senators
to think about whether they had
worked enoug h with the student
body to warrant a banquet. She
also wanted to know if they could
reall y allocate themselves money
when their guidelines prohibited it
for all other organizations? And if
they could , did they really deserve
it?
As the discussion went on , Sean
Mullen , President of CGA , seemed to be a little disturbed at the fact
that more students don 't seem to
set involved with CGA . He
remarked that maybe if more
students did get involved they
could voice their opinions a little
better.

What I'd like to know is, isn 't
that the job of a senator-to go out
to his or her constituents and
discuss problems and ideas.
I have been here for almost two
years now and have yet to meet my
off-campus senator. I didn 't vote in
the last election because I didn 't
know who was running. I do
understand that the responsibility
for voting for a reliable student
governing body is partly mine, but
I do believe that I should at least
know who is running. And that
responsibilty lies on the people
running for the offices. How can
we vote effectively without this
knowledge? How can we even
vote?
I believe this issue is of great importance now because of the upcoming CGA elections. I urge
everyone to do their best to know
the people running for these offices and let them know what you
need and want as a student . They
are here for us. not themselves.

Forensics' president clarifies controversy
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the
letter to the editor which ran in the
January 30 issue of The Voice.
The letter was written by Dpn
Chomiak .
I do understand the controversy
about the CGA banquet; however,
as President of the Bloomsburg
University Forensic Society, I

would like to clarif y the
misunderstanding
and
misrepresentation of the forensic
funding for nationals.
In the letter, it was stated that the
Bloomsburg Forensic Society was
allocated $1,800 from CGA to
"cover the cost of hosting a national championship." Let me
point oUJUo all tnose who do not

I know what I was doing this morning at 11:39—
I was staring the clock down , wishing another class away.
Meanwhile seven were blown from the pill box
That was supposed to carry them beyond the sky.

understand or have-questions about
Bloomsburg 's Forensic team
hosting nationals, that CGA did
not allocate us $1,800. It was a loan
that must be paid back. Before
Bloomsburg could host a nati onal
tournament , it needed to submit a
bid to the National Forensic Council . The team needed funding to
back this bid. CGA ofered this
money in the form of a loan .
Bloomsburg 's Forensic team is
currentl y try ing to receive sponsorship form independent
businesses to host the competition .
I might add that none of this
money has been touched nor in all
probability will it be touched if
funding from the businesses comes
through. In any case, any money
used will be paid back.
I believe that many do not full y
understand the forensic organization . There is no possible way that
$1,800 would cover the cost of a
nation competition . It will cost the
team approximately $3,500. The

money will come from the team 's
fund raisers (that translates into
each of us getting up at 8:00 a.m.
to make hoagies.)
Furthermore, I doubt many
realize that this competition will
bring in approximately $400,000 to
the local business community.
Also, let 's not forget that it is an
honor to host a national forensic
tournament. Bloomsburg competed with schools from all over
the nation to host this tournament.
Bloomsburg University is an
academic institution , and forensics
is an academic extracurricular activity. Having such a tournament
will g ive the university a tremendous amount of recognition and
respect.
As President of Forensics, I felt
a need to clarify these matters to
make sure that my organization is
fairly represented on this campus
and understood.

Informed is affecti ve

"Oh , my God , no," cried the wife of
the president
And refused further comment.
Things like this make me feel like I have just
Spotted the microscope lens aimed at my head
And I must concede that the scientist 's eye is not focused on me in
particularIt makes me feel like I have just discovered something,
Formidable, formidable, beyond the edges of the petri dish.
And God said let there be light and
there was light
A spark so startling and so brief
and it was good. And it was bright.
Tonight the TV stations will play and replay
The scene like some stage rehearsalThis time maybe it will come out right.
There will be blaring headlines, interviews and tearsThe announcers will search and stumble over their vocabularies,
Venture repeatedly into the ridiculous , the absurd , the melodramatic,
the macabre.
We will try, we will try with words,
We will skim the oceans for pieces, puzzle them back together,
We will build memorials, hold services,
Dedicate wings of elementary schools, rename streets,
We will try to be poignant , adequate, ArtfulTrying to explain , soften , justify
The intentions of a benevolent God.
"We have a report from the flight
dynamics officer
That the vehicle has exploded ."
It took only an instant; there cannot have been painHow we all want to go, knowing that we sometime have to,
But pray let us live until we are not afraid ,
And let it be quick, with no warning, no pain , and never an explanation.
And yet, we wonder if there wasn't some redlight sparking malfunction
An instant long enough to flame your heartsYour terror was short .
But we, the audience, the witnesses, the survivors of your tragedy
Medidate long.

Dear Editor,
This week, presidential elections
will be held in the Phillipines. The
country 's current leader is President Marcos. The basic issue in
this election is the corruption in
Marcos 's administration.
If we had any knowledge of the
average Phillipino 's lifestyle and
the restrictions set upon him , the
misuse of power would be obvious.
Corruption in any government is
not unusual; but do we know about
its affects? Do we care?
The clincher is this: Marcos 's
administration is supported by the
U.S. government. While the peop le are being cheated and
neglected by their own government , they are learning to distrust
and despise the U.S government.
This week, the Today Show is

Swimmers deserve
more recognition
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter in regards
to the lack of recognition for the
Bloomsburg University Women's
Swim Team and some of its
outstanding members.
It was not mentioned that two
team members qualified for Nationals this past weekend at
Clarion. Beth Roeder and Kelly
Knaus qualified in the 400 medly
relay.
Both girls will be attending Nationals in Orlando, Florida in the
beginning of March. This is an
outstanding accomplishment for
these girls and they should receive
more recognition.
Swimmers' Fans

presenting reports about the condition of life in the Phillipines.
These reports are frank and informative. If you want to understand
the animosity that less powerful
nations feel toward the United
States government, keep in touch
with the world.
We cannot affect the elections in
the Phillipines or other nations,
but as informed individual s, we
can affect our government 's
policies. Isn 't this the basis of our
democracy?

Points and
suggestions
to counter
HB 843

Dear Editor,
Your article on Monday regarding the underage drinking law
was a well-digested piece of a
complex thing. Any law is diffcult
to read , but Dan Fedder, Jeff
Sutherland , and Becky Bernstein
did a very good job explaining it.
A couple of comments though:
•The bill has passed the House.
Now it must be passed by the
Senate Judiciary Committee and
then by the full Senate before
Governor Thornburgh signs it into law: So it could still be stopped
at any of these points.
Dan suggested writing to our
legislators urging them to oppose
HB 843. The thing to do is to write
to our state senators immediately.
(Sen. Ed Hel .f rick is the
Bloomsburg senator.) Write to
home district senators and remind
them that your parents vote-that
gets them nervous.
•It's not just minors affected by the
bill. Everyone under the age of 21
is hit .
•Probably the biggest objection is
that the law imposes a punishment
(suspension of a driver 's license)
which is completely unrelated to
the crime. You don 't have to be
driving a car, you might just be going from a frat to home. If you 're
stopped you 're stuck without a
license.
Names and addresses of your
home-town senators are available
in the CAS office on the top floor
of the Union.

Two stately spruce trees , located
at the foot of Centennial Gym nea r
Second Street , are at the center of
a controversy on campus. The
Campus Beautiflcation Committee
has decided to destroy them.
During the Oct. 17 meeting, the
Campus Beautiflcation Committee
discussed the fate of the trees. Nine
committee members attended and
discussed the situation. The majority wanted to destroy the trees.
Marilou Zeller and Doug Hippenstiel were against it. The committee decided to keep the trees.
The trees would not be destroyed
unless they became diseased .
Ten members attended the Dec.
6 meeting during which the discussion was reopened. Dr. Michael
Herbert , not present for the firs t
meeting, suggested the committee
vote because he felt that opposition
by two members was not enough
to merit keeping the trees. The
result was six in favor of destroying the trees and three against.
This was a reversal from the
previous decision.
The Campus Beautification
Committee cited two reasons for
the action. First, the trees are too
large and unattractive. Second, the
trees cause moisture to collect in
the walls of the stairway which
weakens the steps.
Marilou Zeller, one of the

members who voted against
destruction of the trees, made her
opinions known in a letter to the
editor of The Voice. The 17 peop le who signed the letter felt the
potential destruction of the trees is
unnecessary.
With regard to the first reason ,
Zeller said , "It is a crime to
destroy two perfectly healthy trees
for cosmetic purposes. " In
response to the second reason ,
Zeller said , "With regard to the
wall , it has already been repaired
and will probally last longer then
the trees."
Frank Curran , groundskeeper
superintendent, said the trees are
a hindrance to the maintenance of
the brick wall , and pruning of the
trees was impractical.
Zeller responded in her letter
saying, "Frank Curran and others
in physical plant have done an excellent job of making the campus
more attractive. We fee} that to
destroy these two stately trees
would be a step backward in the
attempt to improve the appearance
of the campus."
Zeller feels the trees should not
be destroyed unless they are
diseased or dying. She said, "The
beauty that they possess is just
cause for keeping them. Most people do not seem to realize that
nature, including these two majestic trees, possesses its own inherent beauty upon which man
cannot improve despite his wellmeaning efforts."

A few years back in high school ,
students were probably asked what
they wanted to do after graduation .
Many knew, but the majority just
shrugged their shoulders and went
with the flow. The flow for many
high school graduates is college.
The decision to go to college is
made in many ways. For Eileen
Friel , a senior accounting major,
it was, "the fact that I never even
thought of not going to college."
Leslie Gow, a senior marketing
major, says, The desire for
money and a good job made me
come to college ; next would be to
make myself a more well-rounded
person."
High school students usually
make the decision to go to college
in the eighth grade. Richard
Staber, guidance counselor at Central Columbia High School , says,
"That is the time when the student
has to decide between academic
and vocational course. Students
identify themsel ves with this
choice. Then in their junior year
they take the PSAT and that score
will show how they rate with their
peers and if they should continue
with plans of gt>ing to college."
Once the high school student
decides to go to college there is the
choice of what field to enter,
Staber comments, "There is a
pressure put on students by society to make a choice. Many students
don 't realize that for the first two
years of a four year college you
don 't have to choose a major." Ron
DiGiondomenico, academic advisor, says, "Once the college student is here, the student starts feel-

ing a frustration over deciding on
a major. We tell them to schedule
courses they are interested in , talk
to professors, and make lots of
contacts."
According to DiGiondomenico
there are just over 500 undeclared
students at Bloomsburg. DiGiondomenico blames the "inability to
get into restricted majors as the
main cause." He says, "About
two-thirds of the 500 would be
eliminated from the undeclared
catergory if we could say, 'select
any major you want '." Restricted
areas are business , economics,
computer and information science,
mass communication , nursing,
business education/office administration , and
special
education.
Although many students get into their major quickl y, some must
wait. A student , who is a junior,
says, "I tried to get into business
for one year, I had a 3.0 G.P.A and
applied , but didn 't make it. Competition for being a business major is fierce. '' Another student, a
sophomore, says, "I still can 't
understand the fact that you pay to
go to college and they won't let you
do what you want to."
DiGiondomenico points our that
several actions have been taken to
correct the problem of restricted
majors. One is the additon of
faculty members to the departments of restriction. Another is to
make students aware that the college system can be made flexible.
"Students can take two majors,
minors, or if they tak 18 or more
credits in a field , call it a concentration ," add DiGiondomenico.
The third solution would be to
choose another major through the

hel p of the Career Development
Center.
"The student who is undecided
about a major has alternatives,"
according to Diane Davis, Assistant Director of the Career
Development Center. "It 's up to
the students and how much initiative they show in discovering a
major. We suggest a three step program."
The progra m starts with a self
assessment interest test. These
tests shoe what the students ' interests, values, and abilities are.
The second part is for the student
to go and research the 'world of
work' they are interested in. This
would include going to professors
and talking over careers and
courses related to those careers .
The last step is to combine what
the tests say the student is qualified
for and the research the student has
done in the 'world of work'.
A freshman student , says, "I
still don 't know what I' m doing
here. I know college is the right
choice, but for now I have no purpose." Another freshman, says, "I
feel tremendous pressure, to
choose a major, but I just can 't
make a decision right now. I figure
in time I'll make a choice."
"The freshmanmust realize that
not being able to decide on a major is not all that bad. I would even
suggest taking two years of different courses, just to see what
there is available," says Davis.
From the advice give by Davis
and DiGiondomenico, it 's alright
for students to shrug their
shoulders and say I don 't know.
There are many alternatives to
choose from when undecided, and
people to help the student decide
what to do.

SUMMARY

by Doug Bell
Staff Writer

The Scottish band Simp le
Minds ' new album Once Upon A
Time is a big step for the group
on the way to becoming a major
"new ' 1 act.
Simp le Minds are thoug ht of as
a new band , but actually they have
been .around for a while. Their
song "Don 't You Forget About
Me " fro m the movie The Breakfast
Club, was probabl y the first time
many people even heard their
music. That song changed Simple
Minds ' sty le , and producers Jimmy lovine and Bob Clearmountain
have refined their once choppy
sty le and have given them the
polish they need to become bi g.
"Alive and Kicking." their first
hit from the album , is onl y one of
a few reall y good songs on the
track. Most of the better songs on
the album include vocalist Robin
Clark. Clark compliments lead
singer Jim Kerr 's vocals on a
number of songs and adds a new
dimension to Simp le Minds '
music. "Sanctif y Yourself ," "Oh
Jung leland ," and "Ghost Dancing " are three very danceable
tunes that have good upbeat lyrics
to go along with the music.
Simple Minds change in style
has been a change for the better,
unlike some groups in the
business. With the addition of
Robin Clark sharing vocals with
Jim Kerr, time is the only thing
keep ing Simp le Minds from
becoming a supergroup.

Census Bureau
s u r v ey s
employment
Representatives of the U.S. Census Bureau have been visiting area
homes in the past few weeks to
conduct a survey on income and
program participation .
The survey is designed to collect
information on employment and
displaced workers. It seeks information on the effects of unemployment and retirement on the local
economy, jobs and salaries , taxes,
and participation in various social
programs.
The information from the survey
is used to help administrators
determine the effectiveness of
government programs on the local
area. It will also indicate how
changes to the programs could
benefit the community.
The reason why so few good
books are written is that so few
peop le who can write know
anything.

Like Simple Minds , a-ha is a
new band out of Northern Europe
with an orig inal sound . This is
about the onl y thing they have in
common however.
A-ha is a band that has been
thrust into the music scene via
their videos on MTV. Their firs t
single, "Take On Me," will surely win a video award , but I don 't
think the music alone will win
them any awards. Lead singer
Morten Harket has a great voice,
but the music itself doesn 't have
enough strength to make this
srouD 's debut a hit.
Songs like "Blue Sky " and the
title song, "Hunting High and
Low," don 't reall y get off the
ground because of the lack of
musical content. The one bright
spot on the album is a song called
"The Sun Always Shines on TV"
which blends Harket 's voice and
music well enough to give the
album a second look . With Hunting High and Low being the
group 's first album , a-ha does
show signs of becoming popular,
but if they want to avoid the
sophomore jinx , they will develop
their sound to the level of their lead
singer 's voice.

Forensics
takes five
BU Forensic Society put in a
good showing at the annual H.L.
Mencken forensic tournament at
the end of last semester, winning
five awards. More than 150 competitors and coaches attended the

states.
Team leader was Mary Pelak ,
who captured third place in
dramatic interpretation and sixth
place in dramatic duo with partner
Evel yn Thompson. Carla Shoup
earned second in novice prose interpretation and Cind y Davis won
a third in novice poetry interpretation. James Barksdale, Jr. captured
fifth place in after dinner speaking. Ellen Jones and Cindy Davis
also turned in , a strong performance in dramatic duo.
- Director of Forensics, Prof.
Harry Strine and Fred Deets served as jud ges. BU Alumni who also
served as jud ges included Barbara
Wiest, John Chapin and Carl
Hyden.
The Forensic Society also
hosted the fourth annual Husky
high school tournament on January
18.

the Bloomsburg University
women 's basketball team brief
reason to celebrate , but the party
ended, and the Huskies dropped a
painful 82-76 decision to the Bald
Eagles of Lock Haven.
. The game was not without opportunities for the Huskies, trailing by as little as four points with
42 seconds to play, but Lock
Haven was able to convert six of
eight free throws down the stretch
to seal the victory.
"We would be a good study in
wasted energy," said coach Sue
Hibbs . "I thought we had it turned. When we get the momentum ,
we usually hang on."
The Huskies trailed almost the
entire game, but kept clawing
back , hanging on, but always eventually missing that key opportuni!!'* .

"I got myself in a bit of a bind
with timeouts because of the Jean
Millen celebration ," said Hibbs.
Several of Millen's friends came
on to the court to present her with
flowers, and Hibbs was forced to
take a time out rather than risk a
technical foul for delay of game.
Millen is the first woman to everreach the 1,000 point plateau in the
history of Bloomsburg University.
"It feels great. I only wish that
we could have won the game," said
Millen. "It feels great , but I could
never have done it without my
teammates."

Mixing it up
I don 't know. Maybe I just don't
have any sense of ceremony and
recognition for a job well done, but
my reaction to all-star games is a
big giant YAWN!!
The Wales Conference beat the
Cambell Conference in the National Hockey League All-Star
game Tuesday night. The score
was 4-3 in overtime. Yawn.
Islander Bossy to Islander Trottier for the winning score. Yawn.
Edmonton goalie, Grant Fuhr,
in a losing effort , named Most
Valuable Player for holding the
Wales team scoreless for 31
minutes. Yawn.
ESPN had microhones on the
coaches and a camera on top of the
goalies net. Yawn.
And , finally, this Sunday we get
treated to the 36th NBA All-Star
game. Zzzzz.
Not that the NBA game has not
been without its great moments. In
fact, sometimes the game is even
interesting. Really, if I had to
choose between all the all star
games in all the sports, I would
select the NBA's as the best.
However, I still think that these
games are demeaning to their
sports. The bottom line is money,
not talent , and it 's the fan that
pays.

Hey, Joe, remember when you
were on top not so long ago? I
seem to remember you coming out
and telling us how you live so good
and you stay so pretty and smell
so nice. Just think about it Joe, it'll
come back to you and then maybe
you 'll understand.

roundup :
basketball
by Dave Torrisi

The men 's basketball season has
just about reached the halfway
mark with only four undefeated
teams reamining .
32 teams entered in this year 's
league, with teams being split into two divisions.
The Repeaters are the onl y
undefeated major division team
with a 4-0 record . The repeaters
will face their toughest test of the
season tonight when they face the
Lehigh Valley Hoopsters.
The Hoopsters were undefeated
unitl suffering a two point loss at
the buzzer to the suprisingly strong
freshman squad , the Aztecs.
Phoney Face, helped by the controversial addition of two ex-Husky
p layers, are expected to make a
strong run for the title. They are
currentl y 4-1.
Moosehead , Dead Goat Saloon ,
and the Cressalonian Yeddamen
are all undfeated in the minor divisions.
Mooshead has made a big turnabout with basically the same
team that was unable to win a
game in their first two years of
existence.

over the homestanding Shi ppensburg Red Raiders.
Glenn Noack led the Husky attack with 18 points. Noack's first
field goal of the night at the 10:37
mark of the first half allowed him
to move into fourth place on the
all-time scoring list for the
Huskies.
Shippensburg stayed close to BU
through much of the firs t half ,
trailing 19-14 with about six
minutes remaining, but the
Huskies went on a 18-8 roll to go
ahead 37-22 with 1:35 remaining
in the half.
The Huskies led by as much as
15 points on a Steve Melchior field
goal with 1:52 remaining, and
again when Glenn Noack converted two free throws near the end
of the half.
Sean Harris (eight points) hit a
field goal just before the buzzer to
pull Shi ppensburg within 13,
39-26.
Mike Simpkins and Alex Nelcha
hit buckets at the beginning of the
second half to quickl y put the
Huskies up 43-26. From there, BU
went on a 7-3 streak , culminating
in a Noack lay up to give the
Huskies a commanding 50-2';
