Treasurer candidates

Barbara Eastlack
Being able to help clubs in
financial aspects is one of Barbara
Eastlack's, CGA treasurer candidate , goals for next year.
Eastlack, a junior accounting
major who transferred from Montgomery County Community College, has a background in finance,
having worked as a bank teller and
bookkeeper through school. "Any
financial background will help
make things a little less confusing " said Eastlack.

If elected, Eastlack will sit in on
senate, finance and possibly executive meetings this semester to
gain a better understanding of
CGA. She believes the treasurer
should have a close working relationship with the president. The
senate should also know what the .
treasurer is doing. "Everyone in
CGA should be aware of the
finances to some degree," said
Eastlack.
Eastlack believes her biggest
responsibility, if elected, will be to
"give a reasonable budget to every
organization who needs it."

Ed Gobora
Ed Gobora , vice-presidential
candidate, believes interaction with
the administration and his ability
to work well with other people will
help him "continue his involvement, while developing as a student and learning more about the
school."
Gobora , a sophomore accounting major, believes his past experience as a CGA senator,
member of the finance and several
other committees, secretary of
Luzerne Hall for the past two
years, and secretary of an international fraternity as well as
membership in many other fraternity committees have helped him
' 'gain a working knowledge of student government" that will help
him in his duties as vice-president.
"The majority of the vicepresident's responsibilities lie with
the committee network," said
Gobora. The vice-president must
organize and see to it that these
committees are efficiently run by
using accurate lists of membership
and
chairpersons.

Treasurer candidate Jodi
Vandegrift believes the ability to

is a very large responsibility of the

Vandegrift, a sophomore special

Elwell senator, has a background
in student government. She was
one of 50 applicants chosen for an
international student leadership
program while in high school.

A tuition increase for state
schools is now being discussed by
members of the House and Senate.
Chancellor of the State System of
Hi gher Education James H.

Weather cancellations:
off- campus vs. on-campus
by Jerry Wicse

Staff Writer

A fter the heaviest snowfall ofthe
year Friday and dozens of local
school cancellations , BU students
wondered why their classes were
to go on as usual. The administ ration believed the needs of the many
outweig hed the needs of the few.
"I think it 's irresponsible ," said
Carl Moore, a senior who commutes from Berwick. "A travelers '
advisory was issued earl y Friday
morning, and the state police were
telling us to stay off the roads
unless it 's an extreme emergency,
which doesn 't include getting to
class." Senior Mike Antinozzi was
sympathetic. "I come in fro m
Hazelton , and that 's a good hour
drive on a day like today."
Other students were annoyed to
have made il to school , finding
their professors absent. One student suggested a hotline to find out
whether faculty members will be
in class. "If a professor wants to
come in , I live onl y 100 yard s
away, so I'll be in class. I just think
it 's unfair to commuter students. "

Those who commute lrom a
considerable distance off-campus
have a better excuse for missing
classes than those who live oncampus or downtown , under the
eyes of the administration. "It 's
university policy regarding commuting students that if they 're so
far distant and the road conditions
are hazardous, they 're permitted to
miss classes and make them up
later without penalty," Dr. Robert
Parrish , vice president of Administration , said. "Contrary to
the area school systems that send
buses to pick up childre n miles
away, we have a large concentrated
student body on-campus and
downtown. When you 're in a position where 80 to 90 percent of the
classes can go forward , and 80 to
90 percent of the students can be
there, then how do you justify closing it down? "
Dr. Parrish is usuall y the one
who decides whether to close the
unive rsity, based on safety conditions around campus. He said
crews were out clearing snow at 4
a.m. Friday, and told him at 7:30
that sidewalks, steps and campus
roads looked clear. "School was

opened Friday because wc ielt we
could maintain safe conditions for
the students. The earl y forecast
called for snow to end at noon ,"
he added.
Dr. Parrish notes the State
System of Higher Education hasn 't
set any guidelines on university
closing due to bad weather-it 's
completely up to the unive rsity administration. "We ask ourselves
these questions each year when the
weather gets bad , and try to use
common sense. If we can safely
open the university and the majority of the students can be there ,
we'll hold classes," he said.
He re-emphasized that commuters who miss class due to poor
road conditions will receive an excused absence. "That 's clearl y
understood by the academic division , and upheld by the Provost ,
Dr. Larry Jones."
As for Hazelton commuter Mike
Antinozzi , "whether it 's an excused or unexcused abscence, we still
miss the class if school 's open. "

pus that Bloomsburg is a conser¦ vative , behind the times town. This
opinion of small-town life is proven wrong upon entering
Bloomsburg University 's Andruss
Library.
j Unlike many other libraries ,
. book banning does not occur at
: this college. Even when purchas. ing books containing controversial
subjects such as sex , homosexual iity and abortion , the Andruss
: Libra ry takes a libera l stance. The
|library 's two main concerns when
choosing books are that the educa; tional objectives of the college are
' supported and all sides of controversial or partisan issues are
represented.
The only things the library will
not accept are handouts and propaganda pamphlets, Maureen Endres, reference librarian, said .
These items are to be distributed
in Kehr Union. As a librarian , Endres believes parents should have
a say in what their children read
but not a say in what all children
read . Except for pornography, she
thinks book banning is detrimental because it is "the stifling of
ideas."
Book banning occurs in places
much larger and more industrialized than Bloomsburg. In Toledo,
Ohio a book entitled Sylvester's
Magic Pebble was banned . Each ,
, character in the book was an
animal. Sylvester and his parents

were donkeys and the policemen in
the book were pigs. Some in J
dividuals said the portrayal of the
parents as jack asses and the
policemen as pi gs gave childre n
negative thoug hts and ideas.
Sylvester 's Magic Pebble would
not have been banned in the Andruss Library. The libra ry sta ff
holds the view that people will
read things they are read y to read.
Library, teaching and administrative
faculty,
noninstructional staff and students are
encouraged to partici pate in the
selection of books. If students want
to recommend a book , they simply have to ask to fill out an information card concerning the book.
It will then be taken under consideration by the Collection
Development Department of the
Andruss Library.
Bloomsburg may be a small
town , but BU' s Andruss Library
is changing with the times and provides valuable readi ng material for
its students-whether it is controversial or not .

Congressional bill to Tuition
increase
impose tape tax
by Donna Ackerman
for the Voice

Congress has recently proposed
a bill which will impose a tax on
all : recording equipment,such, as
audio and video recorders and
blank cassette tapes. The
phenomena of video cassette
recorders (VCR's) and dual tape
decks has become a racket ,
whereby illegal tapings are being
made, the federal government
believes.
As stated in the bill , the
manufacturer will be required to
place a royalty tax on each appliance produced. Figures such as
5 percent of the price of an audio
recorder, 25 percent of the price
of a dual cassette recorder and one
cent per minute of a blank tape will
be the charges imposed .
Interestingly, exemptions will be
given to certain individuals.
Distinguishing who should or
should not be exempt from the initial tax is creating controversy.
Some students, for example, may
need information which is not provided ou prerecorded tapes. The
question is should these students
be compelled to pay the. tax
because they must copy material?
It is true some of us fry to savfe
money by recording an album instead of purchasing it , but most
people play the tapes for their own
personal not commercial use. The
bill is designed to protect the rights
of record companies. Legislators
feel these companies are losing
money. In contrast to these beliefs,
record companies have listed 1984
as their best year ever, as they
grossed $4.4 billion.
Along with this factor, the Audio
Recording Rights Coalition
(ARRC) an association of consumers, retailers and manufac-

turers, states that home taping of
audio and video entertainment has
not decreased sales. Instead of hurting the market , it has placed new
demands on; companies to design
appliances - which are portable.
Another point made by ARRC is
that the tax would reduce the
challenge of creativity record companies face.
ARRC points out that paying
taxes would simply "produce
more profit" for an already successful industry. Also, placing a
compulsory tax on the record industry would involve too many
bureaucratic and legal complications. History has shown there has
always been disaster when attempts are made to place compulsory licenses on industry.

(continued from page 1)
m over break ," he said. "If
enoug h students voice their
discontent , perhaps we can prevent
this too." He added , though , some
increase should be expected , but
if students get involved and write
to local representatives , the
amount may be kept at a
minimum.
Tuition at BU, which is the second highest in the state, is now
$1,744 a year including a $90 community activities fee, $34 Health
Center fee and a $20 Kehr Union
fee. If the Governor 's allowance
stays as is, the incrase will amount
to $220.

Penny for your thoughts? How about a penny-a-minute tax?
Maybe you ve heard about it. A
proposed penny-a-minute charge
added to the cost of blank recording tape. Why? Well , according
to the music industry, so many of
us ne 'er so wells are busy taping
albums instead of buy ing them that
we're costing artists and labels lots
of money in lost revenue. In order
to recoup some of the "missing
money " a bill filed this summer
in Congress would charge a royalty fee to make up for what tape
pirates are allegedl y stealing from
companies and writers .
This issue , however, i.s not the
rig ht vs. wrong battle. Certainl y
nobody would deny tap ing albums.
And we' ve all seen the little warning on the label that tells us not
to do it. According to Connecticut
Congressman Bruce Morrison ,
one of the bill ' s sponsors , the idea
behind the bill is simple and
stra ighforward . Since it 's impossible to police the country and track
dow n illegal tapers, legalize the
crime and charge for it. An odd
variation on a well-worn log ic: if
you can 't beat 'em , beat 'em.

One of the most offensive things
about this proposed bill as far as
I' m concerned is the presumption
that everyone buy ing blank tape is
going to abuse the privilege .
Assuming that tape buyers are going to violate copyri ght laws—and
penalizing them in advance-is like
tacking on a surcharge to spray
paint cans , assuming that a
guaranteed percentage will end up
being used to scrawl "Ozzy
Rules " across the local school
building . Which seems like rather
shak y ground for legislation .
Proponents of this bill take their
pragmatic point of view to its
seeming ly log ical conclusion.
Stealing is stealing, they maintain ,
whether you take a rich man 's
Mercedes or the bread fro m a
pauper 's plate . Yes, copyright laws
were set up to "protect " artists.
Both protect them from what?
From having their songs stolen
ri ght out from under their noses,
causing injury to their career and
loss of revenue. Ask George
Harrison-pay back' s a b— .
But the albums being taped are

the popular ones , the top 20. At
least those are the ones attracting
attention here. Columbia probabl y
wouldn 't give a hoot if you tape
some ridiculous piece of garbage
the wouldn ' t chart in a million
years , they only get mad when you
ri p off the millions sellers. But
those million sellers got to be big
titles by selling lots and lots of
viny l-and pre-recorded tapes-in
the first place. So once again , just
how much money is being stolen.
While sponsors of this bill may
see it as pure logic , there 's an
equal amount of pure logic from
our independent standpoint. I
don ' t think anyone would rant and .,
rail against this bill if they could
be shown once and for all that: 1)
Record companies are indeed losing money and 2) how much. Yet
there 's no reall y accurate way to
come up with some solid figure s
to show exactly how much illegal
taping is/is not going on. To
paraphrase, the opinion here is the
same as that of the state of
Missouri: show me.
It 's not fair to chastise the public

for being clever enoug h to circumvent the law either. Laws written
before technology changes usually become obsolete or difficult to
enforce and need to be redressed
and rethoug ht. The world changes
and ideas and attitudes change
with it , so that what seems logical
and right today may seem like
Alice in Wonderland thinking in
ten years.
When I was a kid , nobody except amateur theate r groups and
the very poor shopped in second
hand clothing stores. Today, with
prices and unemp loyment being
what they are, plenty of folks are
buy ing their jeans second hand.
Do we enact legislation to shut
down Salvation Army shops to
protect jean manufacturers?
Technology demands that we
rethink our basic approach to
things. Where was the music industry outcry when home decks
and portable players were first introduced? It was standing behind
accountants who told labels , "now
we can sell an album twice!"
And while major labels may be

Cla rifica tion
I would like to clarif y the point
made in my editorial fro m Thursday, January 6, 1986. The editorial
was not a personal attack on Sean
Mullen , rather an attack on the
system.
The point of the editorial was
that I believe our system of governing needs to modified somewhat.
I understand time deadlines , but I
think anyone «-who is interested
enoug h to attend a CGA meeting
should be g iven the chance to talk.

crying the blues, home taping,
ironically, helps many independent
artists. Without big budgets, lots of
contacts, and offices full of hel p,
many can 't get their albums
distributed outside of their home
state.
When someone in California
tapes one of my albums and sends
it to their cousin in Vermont, who
in turn buys my next release, I sing
the praises of home taping. It 's
done something I want to do but
can 't , namely make my music
more accessible to more people.
Lost revenue? Sure it 's a violation
of the copyrights I hold , but so
what? Nobody at entry level in the
music business gets rich—or even
makes money—until they 're wellknown and in demand , and that
means putting up with a host of
things to get your career off the
ground.
In fairness, the proposed bill
would not effect professional
recording tape and the cheapo
cheapo stuff like a package of three
C60s for $1.98 (which nobody
should use for anything anyhow) .
But for those of you who enjoy the
freedom the Maxell and TDK have
given you , you better stop reading
and start writing~to your representative in Congress. Like now.
Because if you 're not heard from ,
this bill will not only pass, its supporters will be able to say, "This
bill must be good and just because
nobody showed up to fi ght against
it. "
Pick a side, either side—it 's a
free country—and get involved, get
up petitions , attend hearings if.
possible, and make yourself heard .

AIDS : exagge rated,
media-contrivedfraud
by Tom Miller
Staff Writer
The so-called AIDS crisis is one of those exaggerated , mediacontrived frauds which are ocassionaily foisted upon us in the tradition of the comet Kahoutek and the ozone-layer-being-destroyed-by-hairspray story.
Research yields such potentous phrases as "devastating epidemic,"
"AIDS continues to run its appalling course," and "modern plague."
Such emotional remarks by scholars and journalists are in utter disregard
of the facts and statistics of AIDS.
The total number of AIDS cases since the disease was first
discovered has been about 12,500. Of this number, 73 percent are (or
were, half are already dead) homosexuals, 17 percent drug addicts and
about eight percent illegal ' alien Haitians. So full y 90 percent , the
homosexuals and the drug addicts, can be eliminated from the discussion. As voluntary risk takers they should be excluded fro m the numbers
just as a program to prevent accidental falls does not address the particular problem of tighrope walkers and trapeze artists. Eliminate also
the Haitians , who ought to be on the Haiti AIDS roster instead of ours
and have about two percent , or 250 people, whom I shall term "innocent victims."
Is there an AIDS epidemic? Tuberculosis , a disease for which we
have had a vaccine for many years , kills more people every year than
have died of AIDS in all of recorded history. A plague? The Great Plague
ofthe 14th century killed more than a third of the population of Europe.
The flu epidemic of 1918 killed about 20 million people. AIDS killed
one in every 160,000 Americans last year. Onl y one in each 3.5 million
Americans was an innocent victim. Hard ly a "devastating epidemic."
The reason for the attention given to AIDS by the media is that
it affects mainly homosexuals. And it is a "gay disease." Only 122 of
12,408 cases were heterosexual ly transmitted and only 14 of the those
were transmitted by the woman. Says one prominent epidemiologist ,
"If you are a non-intravenous drug using, non-promiscuous heterosexual , there aren 't enough zeros on your calculator to express your odds
against getting AIDS." Some crisis.
Media coverage of AIDS and government attention to this problem
is because of the political clout and financial status of homosexuals and
their ingratiating relationships with influential people (hair dressers of
the rich and famous).
Why should we devote vast resources to cure a disease which 99
percent of Americans cannot contract as a practical matter and .the other
one percent can avoid by the simple expedient of keeping their pants
on? I'm not moralizing here. Ex-debauchees of any persuasion or proclivity will tell you their lapses often have painful and tragic consequences, but the public should not have to pay for the personal mistakes
of others.
What about the innocent victims? Most pf them contracted AIDS
from trarifusions of blood unconscionably donated by AIDS carriers.
Such occurences could be largely eliminated by making it a felony for
a member of a high AIDS risk group to.donate blood .
Since potential AIDS sufferers are limited almost entirely to a particular small population segment, it can be presumed that , left to run
its course, AIDS will die out as the population segment is reduced
throug h attrition or defection. It could be said that nature has built-in
a solution to the problem.
Let 's direct our attention and energies to problems of true national
concern, not this ho-hum manufactured crisis.

University remained open.
I was on my way to school that
day and became involved in an
automobile accident . It was not my
fault and was undoubtl y caused by
the foul weather of the day.
President Auspruch mi ght repl y by say ing I could have used my
own discretion and not attended
class that day, but the class has
mandatory attendance.
For those students who live on
or near campus, walking is fine ,
but unfortunatel y I can ' t do that.
I feel I have been unjustly controlled in this situation and I propose
that something immediatel y be
done to rectify the dilemma.
In the meantime, maybe you
would like to reimburse me
$562.82 for the damage sustianed
to my car. By the way, I missed
class that day too.

CGA elections :
Going f romReagan to Carter
Dear Editor ,
A fter reading your coverage of
the presidential debate between the
two candidates for CGA president
we have become concerned .
The only major concern the candidates mentioned was increasing
communication. If this is their only major goal or concern , then
they obviousl y don 't know enough
about student government to run
for president.
What is wrong with Mullen ,
Lippincott , and gang? They are all

juniors-why don 't they run again?
Are they getting lazy ar apathetic?
We feel that whatever the results
from this election are, it really
doesn 't matter. It is like going
from the Reagan administration
back to the Carter administration.
Somebody ought to tell Mullen ,
Li ppincott and gang to run again.
Tell the JFK of CGA to staywrite in Mullen. Lippincott and
gang.

Concerned , $45 a
semester taxpayers

Get out and vote

All students are urged to vote today for CGA officers .
The next time a student has a
comp laint about a CGA officer, he
or she should ask themselves: Did
I vote? If the answer is no, then
they have no right to complain.

Did you know? Governor Dick Thornburgh called for a $141 million
tax cut in his $18 billion '86 budget proposal .
Included : $100 million aid package for steel towns of western
Pennsylania.

Remember, however, the people
who are elected will be handling
the $45 of each student , so don 't
make it a popularity contest , vote
for the person who you feel is the
right candidate.
Voting will be taking place in
both the commons (for on-campus
students) and in the union (for offcampus students) all throughout
the day, so get out and vote.

If Not, Here's How to Fight Back.

pay a tax every time you buy a blank tape and

Bloomsburg prepares for the Valentines' Day rush
by Tara Yost
Slat! Writer

Flora l shops , jewelers , candy
shops and card stores of downtown
Bloomsburg are experiencing a
large rise in commercial sales as
the public recognizes and
celebrates Valentines Day.
According to Ral ph Dillon.
owner of Ral ph Dillon ' s Flowe rs .
" Valentines Da> in our floral .shop
is the number one sing le c.a\ of the
\ ear. It :> me busies: ixvause people io\ e peop le ar _ _ ::se to tell
them so. "
Flower s , a W.er.*.;r. e tradition
will exceed other gifts ir. the tota l
number of sale.s and Dillon ' s will
handle an approximate 1500 percent greater buying business.
"'Flowe rs represent a language that
peop le use to express their love."
notes Dillon.
The most popular in flora l gifts
on this specific day will be the long
stem , red rose. This year at
Dillon 's roses are selling for
$52.00 per dozen or $5.50 for a
sing le bud-the same prices as last
year. This is a 105 percent mark
up since 1925 but if compared to
the price of milk , bread or other
commodities roses are still a better buy for the consumer.
The price of flowers at Dillon ' s
during Valentines Day did not increase as much as city markets,
althoug h prices did rise sli ghtl y

and depending on location ,
delivery will be $1.00 to $2 .00.
"When we can. " says Broody,
"we sell a dozen roses for $30.00
to $40.00 but during this time of
the year our wholesaler increases
the prices. That is how we make
our profit. "
There are many other popular
Vale ntine g ifts and what could be
sweeter than a box of chocolates or
a 2ummv heart from Bloomsburgs
own Cand y Barrel'.' Althoug h
Valentines Day is a busy time ,
Easter is the busiest- "Sometimes
we are so sill y by Valentines Day
we either laug h or cry." says store
manager Sandy Prosser.
Chocolates are the most popular
item, although the specialty candyValentines Mix. Conversation
Hearts and Valentine lolli pops also
sell in large amounts . Prices stay
constant with the holidays and
customers are offered free gift
wrapping.
"Usuall y afte r Valentines Day
we have our buy-one-pound-getone-pound-free sale, ' points out
Prosser ,'"and it 's always interesting
to see what people buy. "
For those g iving a more
sophisticated gift at Valentines Day
there is Sneidman 's Jewelry Store.
Business slightl y increases in the
sale of diamonds , engagement
rings , watches, earrings and the
ever popular heart shaped pendants, but Valentines Day still
follows Christmas in hi gh sales.

due to the decreased supp ly of
flowers and the increase in
demand.
In Bloomsburg this Valentines
Day a flora l delivery will cost approximately SI.50 per package, ln
New York City on this same
celebrated day a package of equal
size and wei ght can be delivered
for $4.50 uTS5.00.
"An important thing for peop le
to understand ." exp lains Dillon ,
'"is that roses for commercial production are grown for thre e to five
years and will onl y bloom on that
particular stem every six weeks.
This causes the shortage in supply and the increase in price. "
People of all ages buy flowers .
althoug h the male population
dominates the buyers market.
"Valentines Day." says Dillon , "is
a cut-fl ower holiday and the impression left on the mind is
something that transends a persons
lasting thoug hts."
Valentines
Day
in ' the
Bloomsburg Floral Center takes
second place to Mother 's Day and
business increases three to four
times more than an average day.
According to Paulette Broody,
manager of the floral shop;'The
most popular item during Valentines Day is the bud vase."
This year at the Bloomsburg
Floral Center one dozen long
stem, red roses will cost $60.00.
the same price since February 1.

Often because February is the
Amethyst month this stone is the
big seller. "Valentines Day is a day
of romance ," says salesperson
Jeanie Golden, "and althoug h the
demand rises the prices stay the
same.
The simp le, yet traditional , act
of expressing ones love through a
greeting card often accompanies a
Valentine gift or is g iven just to let
someone know you care.
At Millers Office Supply Company, owner Edwin M. Miller provides the public with many
varieties of Valentines cards as this
is their second largest card season
with Christmas taking first.
Sales double on Valentines Day
and business increases greatly.
"It 's one of the biggest days in
business," Miller points out , "and
that 's what we 're looking for. The
sentimental cards sell the best
although we do carry other types.''
On the other hand , just down the
block we find Ritters Office Supplies Incorporated , owned and
operated by Ward Ritter. Valentines Day at Ritters is as busy or
even busier than Christmas and
sales are four to five times hi gher
than an ave rage day. Salesclerk ,
Darlene Bower notes, 'Tn our

store more peop le buy the
homorous card s because people
need them as the bad times increase.

One peculiar aspect of the
Valentines card this year is the lack
of cupid , the traditional love symbol . "We have dogs, cats, penquins , teddy bears, clowns and
other figures but not a cupid to be
found ," observes Bower. "'No one
knows why this is so-I quess it 's
just the chang ing times."
Another unusual characteristic
of this years cards are the uni que
categories. This year you can send
a Valentine especially make for yor
divorcee, step parents, dog, cat ,
secret admirer or even yourself.
According to Bower there are
three stages of customers, '"The
ones right there when the cards arrive at the store, the in-between
customer who takes their time and
the 'last-minute-waiters' who take
what 's left."- " "
Each year the commercial part
of Valentines Day increases as
either love or wallet size grows but
on this Valentines Day downtown
Bloomsburg is battling crowds
who are looking for ways to say
"Be My Valentine"

Younghlood: Rocky
takes to the ice
by Gary Wcssner

An aspiring hockey player works
Iii s way from his father 's farm to
the home of the H a m i l t o n
Mustangs , a junior hockey team in
Canada. Rob Lowe p lays Dean
Younghlood *. a possible superstar
on ice. His biggest confrontation
on the ice comes fro m Racki. The
best way to describe Racki would
be lo compare him to the Manson
brothers w'ho cause havoc in Slapshot . another film dealing with
violence in hockey.
Younghlood does have a touch
of romance, friendshi p and family honor giving the necessary ingredients needed to maintain the
audience 's attention besides plenty of hockey action .
Ed Lauter heads the Mustang s
as coach Chadwig who sees potential in Youngblood 's speed and
scoring ability , but doesn 't appriciatc his inability to light.
Chadwig liked to rough it up when
he played and he expects his

Just when you thoug ht it was
sale to listen to music again. Ozzy Osbourne comes burning back
with his fourth studio album. The
Ultimate Sin. The album comes
out in the wake o\' a case involving Ozzy and two parents whos
son .committed suicide while
unfortunatel y most of them have
been used in other films. This
movie is a combination ot' Slapshot
, Rocky and An Officer and a
Gentlema n . A nyone seeing these
movies will have no trouble picking out scenes in Youngblood that
are similar to the other three .
Despite this negative aspect , I
couldn 't hel p but feel what this
young kid had to endure before
fighting back. He sheds a lot of
blood as a young rookie, but
Youngblood scores goals both on
the ice and in his life .

listening to one of his songs titled
Suicide Solution. They claim the
song contributed to their son 's
death even thoug h the song is actuall y about alcohol abuse. By the
looks ofthe album cover and some
of the lyrics however, this doesn ' t
seem to have phased Ozzy one bit.
The Ultimate Sin does not let up
from beg inning to end which will
definatel y please most "metal "
supporters. Guitarist Jake E. Lee
has matured in his second album
with Ozzy and shows that he ranks
hi g h on the list of heavy metal
guitarists , though he will probabl y
never shake the ghost of Ozzy ' s
first incrcdeblc guitarist Randy
Rhoads.
"Never Know Why ", one of the
album 's strongest songs , is a
message to the people who have
pressured music groups about
l yrical content. The album 's
overall theme is about war and the
threat of nuclear weaponry.
"Thank God for the Bomb" and
"Killer of Giants " are pretty
strai ght forward songs protesting
nuclear war.
Unlike Motel y Crue and Ratt ,
Ozzy won 't be able to gain any pop
music fans because there aren 't
any top 40 hits on The Ultimate
Sin. The album will , however, put
the average heavy metal listener in
heaven or hell-whichever you
prefer.

Vitamin reduces
child death rate

By GARY LARSON

Scientists in Indonesia have
discovered that large doses of
vitamin A can reduce child mortality in that contry by 22 to 35
percent.
Dr. Alfred Sommer, professor at
Johns Hopkins and director of the
International Center for Preventative Opthamology explained
children under the age of six living in vitamin A program villages
suffered a death rate 22 percent
below the death rate of childre n
livine in nonDroera m villages.
"On childre n aged one to six
vitamin A reduced the death rate
by 35 percent ," he added .
Sommer suggested vitamin A is
necessary to create healthy mucous

New footb all coach to be named
at Friday press conference
sport ," said Adrian.
Coming from a Division I-AA
school , people speculated that the
BU job might be a step down. Not
so.
"I' m not interested in Division
I because there are too many heartaches in that division. If you hire
me, you 'll have to throw me out
because I' m not a transient person
and I believe in fu lfilling my contract ," said Adrian.
Eric Hamilton is also a viable
candidate for the job. The 32-yearold head coach form Trenton State
College in New Jersey would be
taking a logical step up from Division III.
However, the problem is how
long a 32-year-old "coach-on-themove " will stay at Bloomsburg.
Hamilton was very vague on how
long he will be here and did not
commit himself.
Mel Moore , from the University of Notre Dame, has footbal
knowledge just oozing out of him.
He coached 18 years with the
legendary Paul "Bear " Bryant of
Alabama , and spent the last three
years at Notre Dame under Gerry
Faust .
It is questionable whether this is
the job Moore really wants. He admitted he thought of quitting
coaching afte r leaving Alabama ,
and he has already been rejected
for head spots at Rice and Texas
El-Paso this year. I have a feeling
he'll be oh-for-three.
Chuck Dickerson , from the
United States Football League 's
Memphis Showboats, says he is a
head coach and wants to be "the
man." "I don 't want the recruiting
pressures of Division I, and I don 't
want an assistant 's job at that level
either," said Dickerson.
He appears to love the contact

Alter weeks of searching and six
days of interviews , Bloomsburg
Unive rsity will reveal its new head
football coach at a 1 p.m. press
conference tomorrow.
After narrowing down dozens of
applicants to a list of six , the
Search and Screen Committee cut
the list to three following the interviews and presented those candidates to President Ausprich.
The President will make the
final decision and the announcement will come at tomorrow 's
press conference in the Forum
room on the third floor of the
McCormick Building.
The Search and Screen Committee should be commended for a job
well done. All six finalists appeared well-versed in their football
knowledge, and , with the exception of one, I would recommend
them all for the job , following
some alterations.
My choice to succeed George
Landis would be the University of
Rhode Island's Pete Adrian.
He seemed genuinel y intersted
in the BU program and realized the
need to be a team player (within
the Athletic Department) at a
school such as Bloomsburg.
"You must be a visible fund
raiser for the entire program. You
can 't concentrate on just your own

and the go-get 'em style of pro ball
and I question whether or not he
can apply it to college ball.
College ball players have different needs and wants than pro
players , and I suspect this
regimented sty le will turn off
many prospects.
Akron 's Dan Newell would be
an ideal assistant , but does not
seem to have the personality to
take the top spot.
He does have experience in
Division II and I-AA at Akron and
that is enticing, but being at the top
of the totem pole is a lot different
than being in the middle where
there is not as much heat.
The only candidate I had problems with was Larry Kuherick of
the USFL's Oakland Invaders. He
did not seem very intersted in our
program and I am afraid he would
make BU just a one-night stand.
I felt compelled to throw him a
life preserver as he jumped from
the USFL's sinking ship. In fact ,
. think his hair was still a little wet
form the swim.
I want to note that the above information is strictly my opinion
and has no effect on the final decision . Also, it is pure speculation ,
but having seen all the candidates,
I believe Pete Adrian is the man for
the job.

Three men competed in the
heavyweight division , which consists of lifters over 180 lbs.
Garrett began the lifting and
made a 355 lb. bench press while
weighing 197 lbs. Garrett attempted a 365 lb. lift , but came up
short .
Royster opened with a 405 lb. attempt , which he made easily and
called for 430 lbs. for his second
attempt. Royster made that easil y
also, and called for 470 lbs.
The bar was loaded as he silently walked up to the bench and successfull y completed his final lift .
However, Royster ended up with a
second place finish , as his body
weight to lift ratio did not surpass
Garrett 's. He would have had to lift
480 lbs. to walk away the winner,
but neglected to go for the lift.

by Chris Hartsoug h

Jack Rubio won the lightweight
division , Rich King took the middleweight , and John "Iron Man "
Garett copped the heavyweight title of the men 's intramural contest
held Feb. 5 at the Nelson
Fieldhouse.
Thirteen competitors entered the
contest , and werg divided into
three divisions according to body
weig ht. The winners are determined by the hig hest percentage of
bench press divided by body
weight.
The lightweig ht division consisted of six competitors, including
five men and a woman. Barb Mutchler, competing for the first time,
set a new Bloomsburg University
intramural lightweight women 's
record with a lift of 90 lbs.
In the men 's lightweight division , Rubio, competing for Lambda Chi Alpha , took top honors
with a lift of 255 lbs. at a
bodyweight of 134 lbs. Rubio also
had the highest percentage bench

competition.
Todd Walker finished second ,

King recieved a strong challenge

The triathlon. One of the most
grueling events in all of sports .
One that many people may think
that to prepare for, it is imperative
to live in a warm climate .
Howeyer, this is not necessaril y
true.
While it is true that most of the
world's top triathlete s live in
Southern California (Scott Molina ,
Dave Scott , Mark Allen and Scott
Tinley), you can be successful in
the sport no matter where you live.
Here at Bloomsburg University,
you can train right through the
winter without ever leaving
campus.
The first event in 90 percent of
all triathlons is the swim. Most
triathlon swims take place in a
lake, although some are held in
pools, and a few in the ocean. At
BU, training for the swim is easy.
Both Centennial Gym and
Nelson Fieldhouse have pools that
are open at various times each
weekday for all students to use.
The best waytb train for the
triathlon is to get in the pool and
swim laps. A mile is a good
distance for training swims, but do
not forget to do some speed intervals once in a while. A good idea
would be to hav e someone
.owledgable analyze your stroke
to make sure you are not developing any bad habits.
The second event is cycling .
While a northeastern Pennsylvania
winter pretty much limits your outdoor riding to almost nil , there are
many alternatives.
Probabl y the most durable
method for indoor training is a
wind trainer. Relativel y inexpensive (less than $100), and portable,
a wind trainer is the perfect way
to cycle in a small apartment or
dorm room . A similar device is a
set of rollers , but they are more

dangerous to use.
The least recommended method
(but better than nothing) is an exercise bike. If you can not get your
own wind trainer, there are several
exercise bike s for use in the exercise room at Centennial Gym.
The final event in the triathlon
is the run. The terrain around
Bloomsburg is excellent for
triathlon training since it is rare to.
find a flat runn ing course in a
triathlon. The weather here is such
that you can run outside a lot , but
do not forget to cover your head
because more body heat is lost
thro ug h the head than anywhere
else.
When weather conditions make
outdoor running impossible, you
can use the indoor track in Nelson
Fieldhouse. The only drawback is
that -runners get the least priority
and over half the time the track is
being used for some other kind of
activity.
Another alternative could be to
use the running treadmill in
Centennial Gym, which can be adjusted to set your desired speed
and incline.
Finall y, the winter season is the
perfect time to start a weight training program . If you train correctly for the triathlon , you will not
need the bulk usually associated
with weight training.
Nautilus is the answer, since it
works the muscle through a larger
strength curve and allows for fast
transition through sets. The best
method for weight training for
triathletes is to do sprint sets,
which develop cardiovasuclar
ability or metabolic conditioning,
which means endurance.
A sprint session consists of using each nautilus machine and lifting 85-90 percent of your maximum lift , for as many reps as
possible. The key is the transition
time between machines. It should

Swimming
(continued from back page

be kept to only five to 10 seconds,
and the cycle can be repeated one
to five times. .
Nautilus training provides an
alternative to the same activities
every day. It also hel ps develop
certain muscles (examp le-hamstrings) that are generall y
underdeveloped in triathletes.
So, keep in m '.nd that with the
ri ght amount of determination and
perserverance , you can be a
triathlete , even in Bloomsburg.

Husky men lose in second half
blowout to Millersville 88-61
by Jeff Cox
Sports Editor

Voice photo by Diane Barnes

Mike Simpklns hits for two against York. The freshman had an
outstanding game against York,but he and his teammates saw their
hot hands turn cold at Millersville last night.

The Millersville Marauders took
advantage of 20 Bloomsburg
University turnovers and used a
key second half run to defeat the
Huskies by an 88-61 score last
ni ght in Millersville.
Millersville turned the BU turnovers into 24 points and committed onl y nine miscues of their own
and dominated the Huskies in the
second half.
The win was the Marauders '
18th in a row and their 27th consecutive victory in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
The game began slowl y as
neither team could manage a score
tbr nearl y the first three minutes
of the contest , until Millersvilles '
Andrew Marshall scored at the
17:17 mark.
Bill Connelly followed to tie the
game at two, and Les Alston would
later tie it at four, but then

Knaus. Wojtowicz set school
standards in 75-37 triumph
by Jeff Cox

Sports Editor

The Bloomsburg University
women 's swimming and diving
team completed its regular season
with an easy 75-37 win and saw
two of its swimmers continue their
dominance of the Pennsylvania
Conference and Division II.
Joan Wojtowicz and Kelly Knaus
set new school record s and
qualified for nationals to lead the
team in the Tuesday afternoon
meet.
Knaus , a senior, copped a firs t
in the 400-yard IM with a schoolrecord time of 4:39.93, well under
the national qualifying standard of
4:42.10.
Wojtowicz, a freshman , took
first in the 1,650-yard freesty le
with a time of 17 minutes, 15.36
seconds. It was her first-ever attempt in the event, and easily
bested the national qualif ying time
of 17:43.21.
Amy Cole finished first in the
one-meter diving event , Carol
Gurniak copped a win in the
100-yard freestyle, Deidre Kase
gained two firsts, in the 200-yard
breastroke, and the 400 medley
relay team .
The team finishes its dual meet
campaign with an 8-2 mark and
boasts several national qualifiers.

Wojtowicz currentl y is ranked
first in the nation in Division II in
the 500-yard freestyle, second in
the 200 freesty le , and third in the
1000 freesty le. She obviousl y also
has the team and pool records in
all three events.
Knaus is ranked sevneth in the
nation in the 200-yard individual
medley, sixth in the 400 individual
medley, and fifth in the 100-yard
backstroke.
Sophomore All-American Beth
Roder has already broken the national qualif y ing standard in the
200 yard butterfly, and is a
member of the second-ranked
400-yard individual medley relay
team along with Knaus , Wojtowicz , and Gurniak . The team
has broken the national qualify ing
time.
In the diving events, sophomore
Margaret Norris has also proven
herself. Norris has qualified for
nationals in the one-meter diving
event.
Gurniak is also fifth in the nation in the 100-yard breastroke.
In men 's swimming action , the
BU swimming and diving team only saw three of its swimmers gain
firsts enroute to a 62-31 loss at the
hands of West Chester.
Jack Carr took the 50-yard
freestyle in 23.61 seconds, and Ed
McElhiney won the 200-yard

breastroke in two minute s, 26.71
seconds.
Todd
Jerry
Shantillo ,
McAlliste r, Mike Hagginbothom
and Mark Koenig teamed to win
the 400-yard freesty le relay in a
time of 3:31.04.

Millersville pulled ahead for good .
The rest of the game read like a
comedy of errors for Bloomsburg,
as Millersville stymied BU
continuall y.
The freshman Connell y was
about the only bri ght spot for the
Huskies in the contest , over and
over agian coming up with baskets
that would give the Huskies a
glimmer of hope. Connell y was
especiall y adept at forcing
Millersville players to foul him.
Connell y also led all scorers in
the game with 20 points , eight
coining from the charity stri pe.
The game remained close
throughout the first nine minutes ,
with a Glenn Noack (12 points)
field goal pulling the Huskies
within three at 12-9.
However, an Amos Clay (12
points) basket and a field goal by
Rob Lawton gave Millersville their
biggest lead of the game thus far
at 16-9.
BU Coach Charlie Chronister
called a time out at the 10:26 mark
to try and let Bloomsburg regain
their composure, but a Marshall
field goal , followed by a Lawton
bucket and a free throw by Edwin
Moore suddenl y put the

Marauders up 21-9. Millersville
would hold a double figure lead for

slowly began to pull away. Shane

Using what Coach Sue Hibbs called a "different look ," the
Bloomsburg University women 's
basketball team replaced Theresa
Lorenzi and Carla Shearer with
Sue Kocher and Pam Bressi and
won their fourth straight Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division contest over Millersville
69-59.
The win put Bloomsburg in one
of the top three spots in the PC
East with only three division .
games remaining.
"I decided we needed a different
look," said Hibbs. "I didn 't feel
we were getting the defensive effort necessary and we wanted to
get the players thinking of playing
at both sides of the court ," she
added .
The loss of the starting role did
anything but hamper Lorenzi's
performance as she hit 12 of 17
from the field and added two free
throws for a total of 26 points. She
also contributed five rebounds.
Shearer also turned in a fine
performance, scoring 10 points,

The win raises Bloomsburg 's
record to 7-11 overall and 64 in the
PC East. Millersville is now 9-13
and 4-6 in the division .
The Huskies next game will be
Saturday against Mansfield in the
Nelson Fieldhouse. The game wil
begin at 6 p.m.

The governance structure of Bloomsburg University is founded on
the principle that academic concerns, guided by a curriculum developed
by the faculty, are the basis of our institution and that the undergraduate
student is the focus of the resulting educational program. This governance model acknowledges our strengths and traditions and our collective bargaining agreements. We recognize the proprietary interests ,
rights and responsibilities of the various university constituencies.
Foremost , we are sensitive to the value of open communication in our
university community.

DATE: February 10. 1986
