Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity
suspended following injury
'He's up and around, and he's going to classes,' said Vice-president John Walker
by Jerry Wiese
Staff Writer

Bloomsburg University officials
have temporarily suspended the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity from
all activities after a prospective
member was injured Friday night
at the fraternity 's house.
"A temporary suspension means
they have to cease all activitiessocial and otherwise-until the
suspension is lifted or other action
is taken," said Dr. John Walker,
vice-president of Institutional
Advancement.
Walker said Dean Robert Norton from the office of student life
is investigating by talking with involved parties. "Dean Norton apparently felt he had enough information to take action immediately, and temporarily suspend the
fraternity," said Walker. "I think
it may have to do with a violation
of the university alcohol policy,"
Walker added.
Jeffrey Kuhns, who lives in
Montour Hall , was hurt in a fall
about 1 a.m. Friday morning at the

Lamda Chi house, 980 W. Main
st., near the West End Service Station , university officials said.
The incident occured during a
time when BU fraternities and
sororities are actively recruiting
members. Administration officials
declined to say, however, whether
the incident was pledge-related .
Lambda Chi President Doran
Douglass, a junior, said the fraternity doesn 't have a pledge system
and doesn 't wish to be compared
to other fraternities that practice
traditional pledging around this
time of the year.
Instead , Kuhns was an
"associate" of the fraternity and
was in line to become a member.
Being an associate of Lambda
Chi involves "no mental abuse or
anything to that effect ," Douglass
said. An associate becomes a
member through a series of visits
with fraternity members.
Douglass went on to say no
function was listed for the fraternity house Thursday night.
Fraternity members declined

No more free Sunday
afternoons says IFC

by David Decoteau
for the Voice

The Interfraternity Conference
(IFC) voted on Feb. 2 not to provide the spring 1986 pledge classes
with Sundays off between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
"You people don 't know what 's
good for you. We keep trying to
improve the greek system and you
keep tearing it down," said Dean
Norton, who initiated the proposal, immediately after the IPC 's
vote. Norton said the Sundays off
proposal would help pledges with
their studies, give them some time
to forget about pledging and relax.
The proposal, however, was
defeated by a one-third in favor to
two-thirds opposed
vote .
Arguments against the proposal
were numerous. "Our pledging is
already only 19 days long. If we
knock off Sundays, that makes our
pledging only 17 days long. That 's
too short for us to fit in all of our
pledging activities ," Kevin
McCann, Sigma Iota Omega, said.

Other IFC representatives
discussed possible violations of the
rule due to scavenger hunts and
rigid signature schedules. Elimination of certain traditional Sunday
activities within fraternities ' pledging programs was also discussed .
Distinctions between what constituted a violation and what did
not were not clear. Many fraternity representatives asked about the
punishments for violations of the
new proposal. Norton said any
violations of the proposal would be
handled by the greek IFC Judicial
Board, therefore, the greeks would
judge what was a violation and
what was not.
IFC President Mike Gigler was
also discouraged by the proposal's
defeat. "I was in favor of the proposal," said Gigler. "I believe that
more free time would benefit
pledges and associates with their
studies and personal lives. I think
the Sundays off proposal could
have been a deciding factor for
students who aren't sure whether
to pledge or not."

dent until the investigation is
complete.
Walker said a preliminary investigation revealed that the incident happened during an
unscheduled social event at the
fraternity house. "It had to do with
a big brother-little brother event
related to the fraternity 's association process," Walker said .
Although details of the incident
were unavailable, Walker said
Kuhns, a freshman , suffered a
head or neck injury at the fraternity house and was taken to the
Bloomsburg Hospital, and later
transferred to Geisinger Medical
Center. "He's up and around, and
is going to class. He hasn 't missed any classes as a result of the incident," Walker said.
At this point , Walker said he is
unaware pf any . legal action pending against the fraternity or the
university.
Douglass said the fraternity has
had some troubles before. "Within
the past 10 years, I'm sure we've
been placed on probation," he

BU offers equal
opportunities for all

When it comes to race relations,
affirmative
action
and
mainstreaming minorities, many
people would rather "just not talk
about the situation "-wish the problems away. Not at Bloomsburg
University.
Some years ago, BU embarrassingly found itself and Pennsylvania
among several southern states
under federal court order to
desegregate its student body. The
call came amidst national declines
in overall student enrollments as
well as a disproportionate decline
in the number of blacks entering
hig her
education.
For
Bloomsburg, the task would be
even toug her because of its
loeation-in a 99 percent white
Columbia County and some 2V*i
hours away from Philadelphia , the
area 's nearest heavy concentration
of blacks. Furthermore, in addition
to the state's 14public universities,
Pennsylvania has more than 100
other colleges competing for the
same few minority students.
Despite these obstacles, the BU
administration decided it must find
successful avenues to not onJy
fulfill the federal court order, but
to add diversity to its population

for the betterment of its overall student body and the university community. "We had to be creative in
our recruiting and retention programs," said Larry Jones, provost
and vice president for academic affairs at Bloomsburg.
Aside from the typical recruiting
tactics as using student search services lists for written contact with
prospective students, participating
in high school visitations and college fair programs and utilizing the
usual recruitment media, BU's admission staff tried and was successful in some non-traditional
recruiting and retention methods.

how to choose a college and more.
Penny Broach-Britt , coordinator ot
the program and a BU admissions
counselor , said many of the College Samp ler partici pants later attend Bloomsburg. "They all have
SAT scores above 900," she added.
Another incentive for minorities
to come to BU is the tuition remission program. The Board of
Governors of the State System of
Hi gher Education allows tuition
remission for up to 15 outstanding
minority students attending BU.
The university makes sure minority students are awa re of other
scholarship awards for which they
can compete.
Also helping to bring minorities
to campus are minority graduates
and other minority students. The
university annually plans a minority alumni day whereby graduates
return to campus to help the
university in the areas of minority
retention and recruitment. Minority students sometimes join
recruiters on* ,visits to their high
school alma maters and make
follow-up calls to prospective
students to answer any questions
they might have about attending
B.U.
Once the students have been admitted to BU , retention becomes
important. Many of them not only enter the new env ironment of
college, but also an environment
of trul y being in the minority. The
university 's most helpful programs
in addressing the minority student 's urge to quit college include
traditional efforts such as counseling and mentoring. Yet, the nontraditional annual retreat program,
designed for and by minority
students , is the most popular.
During the weekend away from

population , the minorities relaxtelling their adjustment problems ,

White or non-white, the university 's Center for Academic

has contributed to the recruitment
and retention of academically
unde rdeveloped students. Identified as persons who show potential to benefit from a college
education , these students gain
specialized instruction , tutoring,
counseling and academic advisement from the CAD staff. CAD,
each year, helps to mainstream
some 50 minority students into the
traditional classroom setting.
With the creative recruitment
and retention programs combined ,
Bloomsburg has managed to not
onl y meet the* requirements of the
federal court order, it has exceeded the minimu m requirements.
The university now has more than
the approximate fi ve percent
minority population ordered by the
court . That is more than 200
minorities-readying themselves
for the real world, one that is
neither black nor white, but a
multitude of colors.
President Harry Ausprich is further commited to improved
minority recruitment and retention
methods. He has already met with
several black and hispanic constituents helping them with their con cerns, hopes and any special
needs. He has immediate p lans to
increase the number of minority
employees at BU, consequently increasing role models for students
and contributing to the retention of
minority students and a better environment for all concerned .

The word 'party ' takes
on a whole new meaning

What do you feel when you
hear that one of your friends has
been beaten to a pulp outside the
local bar? Anger, disbelief , hurt ,
frustation?
After hearing about the fights of
the past two weeks, I wonder about
the true meaning of the word "party.'' I do not have all the facts about
how these fights were started, who
started them or who "won", but
I have heard that they all involved
alcohol in some way.
Nov/ 1 am not going to preach
to anyone on the subject of drinking. I enjoy going to Hess and
Lemons' as much as the next person. The point I want to make is
that something is definitely wrong
when these "good times " turn into physical battles between people
who are intoxicated.
When people get drunk they
seem to forget that they are still
human and have not been
transformed into superpeople. People also seem to blow the littlest
comment or look way out of proportion and use it as an excuse to
start a fight.
The perfect solution is to stop
drinking. This solution would rid
people of these superpeople illu-

sions they sometimes experience.
And it would rid some people of
the need to bash in a head because
someone else looked at their shirt.
But even I cannot agree with this
solution. First , because it could
never be accomplished and second , because I enjoy a few drinks
after a hard day or when I am
hanging out with my friends.
So what do we do as a society
of people who obviously do not
like seeing their friends getting
beaten or starting fi ghts? The stock
answer is education. Educate
everyone on the dangers of drinking and driving? Educate people
on how to act in a bar when they
are drunk? Educate people on how
to stop themselves from picking
fights with others when they are
drunk? But at this point in our lives
how many will really listen? We all
know everything and don 't need
anyone else telling us what to do
and how to do it.
But there is a problem and we
need to address it now!.Too many
people are being seriously hurtphysically and emotionally. Don't
we have enough violence in our
world now? Why must we encourage more violence when we

are supposed to be enjoying
ourselves and our friends?
I am so frustrated at this point
and utterly at a loss for a liveable
solution to this problem. I don 't
think it 's too much to want to prevent this from continuing. Who
knows, the next person to be
beaten could be your boyfriend or
brother. Do we have to wait tiU that
happens until we decide that
something definitely has to be
done.
Maybe the only thing we can do
is to be very careful and attentive
to the people we are with. If we
see that something might be starting, then we should get involved
to stop a confrontation . So what if
you look like a wimp who can't
fight or you make someone else
look like a coward. You may be
saving their lives. And who really
is the bigger wimp~the person
who decides to stop fighting or the
person who wants only to prove
themselves with their fistsdrunken fists at that.
As I said I have no answers or
definite solutions to this problem ,
but can only hope that more of us
will take a very serious look at this
situation.

Swimmers congratulated for season 's efforts
Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate
Bloomsburg University 's women's
swimming and diving team
representatives for an excellent
performance this past weekend at
the Pennsy lvania Conference
Swimming and Diving Championships. However, I would like to
comment on the score of 0 for
Mansfield University listed in the
February 24 swimming article.
One member of the Mansfield
women 's team qualified for the

state meet in several backstroke
and freestyle events. This swimmer was a member of their qualify ing relay team also. At
Mansfield's final meet of the
season she severely injured her
shoulder and was strongly advised not to swim at States.
She was the only member of the
team to qualify in individual events
and an alternate swimmer could
not replace her on the relay team.
Therefore Mansfield did not even
attend the PSAC Championships.

'To err is human*..

Too much time being spent on
criticizing human imperf ection

Performance, so much is jud ged by it. Today, on the stage or in
writing, a good performance seems to be required and no longer an
accomplishment. In a professional setting, where the 'performer' is paid
for results, this is acceptable. Consider, though , a non-professional ;
the college performer.
I was asked to address this issue and to be totally honest, I'm angry!
So many people on this campus expect perfection from the theatre,
Bloom Magazine, the band, the Voice, and other student groups on campus. The first thing that must be remembered is that these activities
are voluntary.(It is true that for people taking certain theatre classes
many hours are required , but most do far more than they 'have to.')
The individuals in these organizations participate because they enjoy
being involved. In addition to this, it should be mentioned that these
students do have classes and many are participating in several other
activities as well.
The students involved in activities requiring the attention of the
campus community, be it a theatre presentation, a written work, or artwork, are trying to perfect their craft. Criticism from others who are
also involved is acceptable when within reason , but the worst to take
is that which comes from those who have little or no commitment to
anything. Too many students are too caught up in just being here and
fail to realize that organizations and activities, outside of partying, do
have something to offer. It is the criticism of these people that often
frustrates the students who are out there doing something. It is easy
to sit on the sidelines and complain. Those who do it are at no risk.
To risk criticism is to get involved. It infuriates me to see dedicated
people criticized by those who are sitting on 'their hands and foaming
at the mouth .
Perfection in performance. It is a goal that many strive for. It is
also practically impossible to reach. To demand perfection from someone who is committed to more than the performance is stupidity.
It is comparable to asking the college team to go out and beat the pros.
Having been involved in many activities at B.U., I know what kind
of effort is being put out by those dedicated to what they are doing.
It is a crime for them to take abuse from the loud mouths who have
a major, a meal ticket, a place to sleep, money to party, and little else.
A solution. If you are.upset by what I have written, then write and
let me know about it. Do not simply flap your gum. If you are downing the performers at B.U. and are not involved, then get involved or
shut up. We do not need it.

Amazing Kreskin mystifies BU with his mental abilities
part of his performance. On one
occassion , at a coliseum in New
Zealand , he forfeited $51,000
when he failed to locate his fee
during his "check test." A
member of the committee had not
been concentrating on the location
of the check.
However, he says he has missed
his fee only nine times in his entire performing career.
"There is nothing 1 can do
unless they concentrate ! So the
failure (at the coliseum) was really, I feel in retrospect , not my
fault. "
The money was donated to a
crippled children 's hospital in New
Zealand .
On another occasion , at a New

the stuffing of a turkey.

ing told you are getting warmer as
you move closer to an object ,
cooler as you move away). When
he went to find things "there was
one difference, no one was saying
anything ; it was all mental."
Mentalism deals with people's
thinking and their concentration.
Throug h the power of suggestion
a person is able to influence
another person 's thoughts and
reveal what that person is thinking.
"Mentalism is just an entertainment term ," Kreskin says.
His family had mized emotions
about his powers at first. His
mother 's side of the family was
scared by them. "Man tends to
fear the unknown ," he says. But
his family now "embraces and
supports " his career.
As a child , Kreskin used to sit
across from his aunt at the dinner
table with a deck of playing cards.
He found he was able to quess
what the cards would be.
"I would picture the cards running out. As each was turned over
I remembered the last one."
As a result of this ability,
Kreskin has recently been banned
from playing blackjack at several
casinos in Las Vegas, including the
MGM.
Kreskin will often go to a small
club after his show and play a
small amount of money. As soon
as he wins $100 he leaves.
The MGM casino made an edict
allowing him to perform but not
gamble there again .
Kreskin earned a degree in
psychology at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey,
He is "a student of human
behavior," interested in the history
of mob psychology ; "why people
behave so strangel y in crowds ,"
and cult activity ; "why they do
what they do."
Kreskin does not believe in
hypnotism.
I m a mentalist , not a psychic.
I have no supernatural powers. I' m
an entertainer who can alter the
behavior of others and reveal what
they are thinkin ."
"The idea that people can
remember better under hypnosis is
wrong. Anyone can lie in his teeth
under these conditons , and police
who are questioning a witness
under hypnosis can easily impart
their own biases, willingly or unwillingly. A question can be as
powerful as a command. As a
result , hypnosis is contaminating
our . criminal justice system."
Kreskin 's feelings are so strong
that he offers $100,000 to anyone
who can scientificall y prove th at
hypnotism exists.

Kreskin raised his offer from
$50,000 due to a court case in
which he was brought to trail. His
offer was challanged , but he won
the case.
"Hypnosis is an absolute waste
of time. There is no hypnotic state-none at all ," he says.
"I really cannot fortell the
future , I can only learn what is in
people's minds."
Kreskin has assisted police investigations 84 times in the past
eight to ten years. His first time
was in the early 60's. He helped
a woman, who has witnessed a
New Jersey bank robbery, recall
the license number of the get-away
car.
"It (the scene) was still embedded in her subconscious. By looking at the incident as in a movie,
she felt more detachment and was
able to recall the events."
In 1983 Kreskin was taken to the
island of Alcatraz, near San Franciso, then blindfolded and guarded while a San Francisco television
personality and her television crew
hid a key on the island . Forty
minutes later she returned , was
handcuffed to Kreskin , and they
went in search of the key. With no
verbal communication , only the
concentration of the committee,
Kreskin located the key in less that
ten minutes. (The TV station had
alloted three hours for tapping
time.)
At Rutgers University, New
Jersey, Kreskin had "an unusual
experience ." He told a student in
the audience the first and last name
of his girlfriend band gave him
another set of initials. "He went
red as a beet." Apparently he was
not with the person he was thinking of.
1
T didn't mean to do it, but he
was concentrating so hard I
thought he meant for me to go on.''
Kreskin has written three books,
including "Kreskin's Fun Way to
Mind Expansion " that shows how
to expand your mind , strength of
concentration , and confidence.
Kreskin has developed his
senses to such an extent that he can
hear a needle drop in a theatre of
3,000 people. He reads 7,000
words a minute; "I love to read .
As a child I was a slow reader so
I taught myself to read."
He has appeared on television
over 500 times, including about
100 times each on the Mike
Douglas, Johnny Carson, and
Merv Griffin shows.
He is not a psychic, mind reader,
or fortune teller. He is the Amazing Kreskin , the man whom many

Friday night; the candles flicker
in the darkness, the Nite Class Bar
is serving non-alchoholic drinks,
and Cabo Frio takes the stage in
a burst of Jazz music.
Their energetic songs could be
heard throughout the Union as the
five man band entertained an audience of over sixty people in the
Multip-Purpose rooms.
Cabo Frio, a mountain north of
Rio de Janiero, is also the name of
this Jazz band from Rochester,
New York.
Formed in 1979, Cabo Frio
played jam sessions and weddings.
They developed Jazz Fusion; a
mixture of Jazz , Rhythm and
Blues, and Rock and Roll, because
it holds a wider appeal to the
audience.
"We like playing for colleges
because they're more enthusistic I
and they have a good time!" said I

drum and percussion player Curtis Kendrick.
The group has played for many
of the East Coast* colleges and in
the near future plans to play in Los
Angeles as well as tour Texas and
a few other states. The group is
looking forward to touring Japan
and Europe within the next few
years.
In the past they have played with
several Jazz acts. "Our first bi g
audience was with Grover
Washington and Pieces of a
Dream," Kendrick said ,"We also
opened for Joan Jett about four or
five years ago in Syracuse."
The band has a sense of continuity ; of oneness when they perform. Their enthusiasm and
energy gets the audience dancing,
clapping, and tapping their feet to
the lively non-stop rhythm.
Cabo Frio has released three
albums. Their latest album ,
"Right on the Money," was released two weeks ago. It follows their

second album "Just Having Fun,"
which is exactly what the band is
doing .
"The performance was really
enjoyed by the audience," said
Kerry Desmond , Soundstage
Committee Chairperson, "I'm
glad to see that people on campus
are willing to experiment with new
music—Soundstage is getting better!"

Going to class and taking a test
can be hard to do, but if you are
in Vernon Rochester 's place it
could be impossible. Rochester
went to McCormick to take a test ,
but when he arrived the elevator
was broken and he couldn 't get to
his class on the second floor.
Therefore, he missed his test.
Rochester is confined to a
wheelchair. He says, "If I had to
use someone else to help me up the
stairs in my chair they may have
been hurt. "
After Rochester 's accident in
1983 Bloomsburg University
began to make some renovations
anticipating his return to school .
"Some buildings probably
wouldn 't have been renovated if I
wasn 't in a wheelchair," Rochester
said.
Mr. John Walker, vice president
of Institutional Advancement, says
that BU's accessibility for handicapped students is "adequate but
not ideal ." There is a difference
between program accesibility and
a barrier-free campus. Walker
states, "Program accesibility

Federal financial assistance.
Walker comments on the law, "We
are meeting the spirit of the law,
not the letter of the law because we
haven 't been funded. "
The capital budget of $840,000
was allocated this year for the installation of elevators in four
buildings. "We are now budgeting
for hearing interpreters," says
Walker. Some of the other changes
the university has made are curb
cuts, extra wide doors, lavatory
changes, visual fire alarms, and
ten rooms are equiped for vissually
handicapped students.
There is no way of knowing
whether or not BU loses students
because of the lack of handicap
facilities but , "Approximate ly
150-175 students indicate on their
freshman questionnaires that they
have a physical disability but most
don 't require special service,"
Walker said . He adds, "In special
cases where students ask for
special conditions the university
will accomodate them."

Huskies unable to hold off WC rally
championship hopes end with loss
_J_A__

by Jeff Cox
Sports Editor

A string of 15 unanswered points
in the second half by West Chester
gave the Rams the push they needed to surpass Bloomsburg University and win 64-58 in a first-round
Pennsylvania Conference Eastern
Division playoff game Tuesday
night at Henderson High School
Gym in West Chester.
Just as it seemed the Huskies
had the game sewn up, the West
Chester squad caught fire as BU
went cold.
Leading 49-40 with 7:14 to play
in the game, BU seemed a sure bet
to move on to the next round of
conference play at Slippery Rock.
But then , just as the Huskies
players started breathing easy, West
Chester put the hammer down.
The Rams Linda Vidovich
canned a bucket at the 7:02 mark
to make the score 49-42. Cecelia
Rodden followed with a short
jumper to bring West Chester to
49-44, and BU coach Sue Hibbs
called time out at 5:37 to try and
regroup her forces. It was to no
avail.

_<_^_L

_<_&_

"I get most nervous when our
leads get the biggest," said Hibbs.
"Our kids have a complacency
problem , whether it 's a game or
a point edge."
After the time out , West Chester
proceeded to score 11 more
unanswered points. But what made
matters worse, nine of those points
came from the foul line.
Rodden hit one free throw, and
Leslie Mensch followed with a
field goal to bring West Chester
within two, 49-47, with 4:56
remaining.
Mensch followed with two more
from the line, Rodden two more,
Vidovich two more, and Sara
Flanagan another pair. When the
dust cleared , it was West Chester
55, Bloomsburg 49, with only 1:56
to play.
It had been an incredible 5:32
between scores for BU when Linda King hit her only basket of the
night at the 1:42 mark.
The Huskies tried to rally in the
little bit of time left , but the Rams
took advantage of BU fouls by hitting an additional nine free throws
in the final 1:20. In all , 17 of West
Chester 's final 19 points came

from the charity stripe.
"Dumb fouls on Ceil Rodden ,
whom we knew was the most
dangerous , to put on the foul line ,
killed us in the end ," said Hibbs.
Like the game only three days
previous between the two teams,
the first and second halves were
near mirror images of each other.
In the first half of Tuesday
night 's encounter, BU jumped out
to a quick 10-2 lead , but West
Chester clawed back and eventually grabbed a 16-15 lead with 6:18
remaining in the first half.
Amy Wolf, Sue Kocher, and
Theresa Lorenzi canned field
goals to give the Huskies back the
lead , but the Rams outscored BU
9-2 to take a 25-22 lead. The teams
played evenly the rest of the half ,
and West Chester held a 29-25 half
time lead .
BU turned the game around to
start the second half.
Wolf opened the festivities with
a field goal . Mensch interrupted
the Husky rally with a free throw,
but baskets by Lorenzi , Wolf, two
more by Lorenzi , two Carla
Shearer buckets sandwiched
around yet another by Lorenzi ,

Sanders looking for Husky
triumph at EWL tournament
H

Roger Sanders sums up his
evaluation of his teams chances to
win this weekend's Eastern Wrestling League Championships in one
sentence. "We are ready to win
this tournament."
The championship tournament
is slated for Bloomsburg 's Nelson
Fieldhouse on Friday and Saturday
with sessions scheduled for noon
(first round) and 7 p.m. (semifinals and first round consolations)
on the opening day and noon (consolations) and 7:30 p.m. (championship finals) on the second day.
"If everybody does their job, we
have the opportunity to win this
weekend," commented Sanders.
"Everybody 's weight is good and
we're the healthiest we've been
since early January."
As anticipated, defending 118 lb.
national champion Rick Bonomo
will drop to that weight for the national qualifying event.
The junior has built a 20-3 mark
while wrestling the entire season
at 126: He is currently in the midst
