CGA budget cuts stem from campus groups
requesting beyond income increase;
by Karen Reiss
Staff Writer
Zero percent increase in CGA
income for the 1986-87 school year
forced the Finance Committee to
cut the budgets of many
organizations.
The projected amount of income
for the next two semesters is
$595,210. At the budget hearings
last month , $633,733 were asked
for.
CGA Treasurer Joe Cannavo ex-

plained the bulk of the money
comes from students.
"Since we haven 't had a community activities fee increase in a
while ," Cannavo said , "the incoming revenue is the same , but
everyone is asking for increases in
their budgets."
Aside from the fee, CGA earns
money throug h basketball and
football games, wrestling matches,
vending machines, the BU players ,
faculty and staff fees , CGA

~"

The State System of Hi gher
Education (SSHE) has proposed a
$529 million budget for the fiscal
year 1986-87 for the 14 Pennsylvania state owned unive rsities.
SSHE Chancellor Dr. James H.
McCormick said the increase is to
hel p combat the rising cost of
tuition.
Currentl y Pennsy lvania has the
fifth highest tuition rate for public
four-year institutions with an
average yearly rate of $1,781. This
falls above the U.S. average of
$1 ,217. The top four states include
Vermont ($2 ,543), New Hampshire ($2 ,031), Ohio ($1,855), and
Virg inia ($1,792).

schools to keep tuition low and
keep enrollment up," said Wayne
G. Failor, SSHE vice-chancellor
for finance and administration.
Failor went on to say for every
$100 the tuition goes up, enrollment in Pennsy lvania declines 1.8
percent. According to Failor,
Pennsylvania already has one of
the lowest hi g her education
enrollments in the country.
SSHE has broken its budget proposal down into eight main
categories with the majority going
to education and "general opera tion support ."
More than $290 million , an increase of $26.2 million or 9.9 percent over the 1985-86 budget , will
be used to hel p stabilize the current resident tuition rates.

as pay ing CGA emp loyed

we meet these responsibilities then
we can divide the money into
bud gets for the organizations on
campus. "
He explained just because many
bud gets were cut , that doesn 't
mean the group won 't get the
money.
"Many groups didn 't give us the
information we need to decide the
validity of the request ," Cannavo
said. "That is why we will have
the budget appeals. Here, the
groups can present us with their
reasons for wanting the amount
asked for. "
Cannavo also said many budgets
were cut because the amounts were
small enough to be taken through
the Finance Committee for
approval.
"This way, all the group has to
do is send a request through the
committee in the .semester they 'll
need the money," he said. "This
makes things easier for everyone.' '

Older Worker Week recognizes
Green Thumb pr ogramby
honoring employees
by Karen Reiss
Staff Writer
During Older Worker Week,
which began yesterday, agencies
involved in the Green Thumb Program will be honoring their
workers to promote their values in
the workforce of the community.
"Green Thumb" doesn 't have
anything to do with gardening, but
the progra m reaps a rich harvest.
Through it , people over 55 can obtain new skills or redevelop old
ones to be productive members of
society.
The program workers assist in
many areas here at Bloomsburg
University. At the present time, 23
Green Thumb workers prov ide
service to the child care center,
ground maintenance , various offices . Nelson Field House, and
Kehr Union .

have their television systems based on a technology totally different
from the U.S. The equipment

attitude towards American students

Their one concern is pirators trying to sell their programming.
James Tomlinson, chairman of
Communication Studies said ,
"Right now we are just exploring
the options. There is support from

be sure their is enough interest by
the faculty to insure such an investment would be worthwhile."
At present, Crieghton University, Iowa State University and Columbia University are taking advantage of the transmissions. Penn

The progra m has benefits for
both the emp loyees and the
workers. It is an excellent way to

Tenure enforces job security for BU teachers
by Melissa Menapace

Staff Writer

Job security
is almost
guaranteed for 85 percent of
Bloomsburg University faculty
because of tenure.
Tenureprotects faculty from arbitrary dismissal. A tenured professor can teach and research
without fear of being fired for unpopular views or personal whims.
Such faculty are rarely fi red , said
Dr. Larry Jones, vice-president of
Academic Affairs.
Conviction of a crime or just
cause must be proven to fire a
tenured faculty member. Just cause
is- defi ned as constantl y engag ing
in reprehensiv le behavior , such as
sexual harassment of a student.
The majority of professors are
hired in tenur e tract positions.
They are evaluated by their
students and peers every semester
for four years. Effective teaching,
scholarly growth and service to the

community are evaluated in the
fifth year.
Effective teaching is evaluated in
several ways. Classroom, visits ,
quality of student advisement and
punctuality in completing work are
considered .
BU faculty are expected to grow
in scholarl y knowledge. The
university-wide tenifre committee
evaluates publication of research
and partici pation in scholarl y
organizations.
Service to the university and the
community is the third considera tion. Professors have a responsibility to develop curriculum and
participate in university and community events related to their
disci p line.
The evaluation durinsi the fift h
year consists of several parts. A
recommendation fro m the department chairperson and from a committee of faculty in the app licants
disci pline are submitted to the
tenure committee. The committee,
headed by Dr. Wayne Anderson of

its conclusion to President
Ausprich who makes the final
decision.
The sixth year of employment is
the applicant 's last if tenure is
denied . Few applicants are denied
if they get through the first four
years of the evaluation process.
Tenured faculty are preferred by
the university because they are
more like ly to take an active role
in university life. Their longterm
position encou rages interest in advising students and the development of curriculum , said Jones.
The policies for tenure arc
uniform throug hout state universities in Pennsylvania. The standard s were onl y sli ghtl y affected
by an agreement si gned in the fall
by the Association of Pennsy lvania
State Colleges and University
Faculties and the State System of

While SSHE is requesting more
than $290 million for educational
purposes , the Governor 's Fiscal
Year 1986-87 Budget recommends
an appropriation of $271.7 million
to the state schools. This
represents an increase of onl y
three percent over the current
year 's appropriation.
Another $100 million has been
requested for capital projects.
The request includes $16.6
million for the first phase of an
asbestos abatement and removal
program . Also included is $3.9
million for heat and smoke detectors in university dormitories.
As a whole, the capital projects
request is to maintain the physical
plant of the fourteen universities.
Included are renovations and new
additions to some of the more than
650 buildings in the state system.
"SSHE does not own the land or
the buildings ," said Failor, "but
we do have the responsibility to
maintain them ," he added.
SSHE has proposed $5 million
for critical capital repairs to be used to support health and safety,
utility systems, roof repairs, and
building projects which do not
qualify for long-term capital appropriation funding.
Another $4 million has been
proposed for state-of-the-art instructional equipment.
The 1985-86 coalition instructional equipment app ropriation
provided the state system with- ap-

Another $4.1 million has been

by the universities for their

Services will include environmental education programming, rura l and special educational
services to school districts and intermediate units , a wide array of
aids to small business development
and improvement , and assistance
to local governments.
To help develop computing

Craig Davis: 'Experiment with a chemist 9
by Elizabeth Dacey
News Ed itor

Eveiy thing seems a "scream "
to Crai g Davis these days. That is
his word for "great " and
"unbelievable. " Being hired six
days after comp leting graduate
school is certainl y great and
unbelievable.
Davis, 26, applied for a job at
Bloomsburg- University in May
1985. He comp leted his M.S. in
biological chemistry at Ohio State
University on August 30 and f ound
himself teaching at BU only a few
days later. A late resignation in the
chemistry department was the
reason for the last minu te
appointment.
Davis tries to project a positive
view of chemistry throug h his
teaching sty le. "1 try to lecture in
conversational style," he says,
"and avoid slipping into what my
students have dubbed my 'teacher
voice '."
Davis attempts to insp ire his interest in chemistry in several of his
students. "Many people see
chemistry laboratory as scary, difficult and even boring. I can ' t see
it that way at all " he says. "M y
Thursday evening lab students

very hel p ful those first few
weeks," he recalls. "They teased
me a lot about how I was in a constant daze, but they understood
why."
Dr. Barrett W. Benson , who
worked with Davis very closely
during the fall semester, says Davis
has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic. "His reaction to being
hired so quickl y was very controlled ," Benson says. "He has adjusted well. "
Other colleagues in the
chemistry department , Dr. Roberta Pierce and Wendy Elcessor,
agree that he adds to the funfeeling of the department. Elcessor
adds, "Crai g is very sensitive to
his students .needs. I have observed him in class and his students
definitel y enjoy him. "
Davis attributes this "funfeeling " of the department to the
fact that the chemistry faculty
think they are all amateur comedians. "We try to outdo each other
with one-liners ," he says.
Outside work , Davis finds
pleasure in jogg ing and riding his
bicycle. He believes exercise keeps
him more aware. Music tends to be

claim that lab is almost a party.
Davis still believes safety is the
number one priority in lab. "I
have to constantl y remind certain
students to keep their safety goggles over their eyes," he says.
Elizabeth Frederick , one of
Davis ' students from the fall
semester, recalls , "He was very
easy to talk to and explained things
well. " She believes his age hel ped
eliminate any feeling of intimidation and made the students more
comfortable. "Because he was
fresh out of grad school , we enjoyed class and could look forward
to lab," she says.
Davis doesn 't worry about having too much fun in class because
he says he would never allow his
relationshi ps with the students to
interfere with his grading. He finds
giving grades the most difficult
thing about being a faculty
member, "Students don 't realize
that all faculty members tre t over
borderline students ," he says. "It 's
not easy giving a D to a C/D student. "
After his first semester teaching,
Davis believes he is well adjusted
and says he had some hel p. "The

News of Yesteryea rs

Put the parties on ice
The follow ing editorial was
reprinted, with permission, from
the Satu rday, March 8 issue of the
Press-Enterprise.
The teen-ager injured in the incident at Lambda Chi Al pha a few
weeks ago was not hurt seriousl y,
and the Bloomsburg University administration has slapped the fraternity 's wrist , so everything is just
about back to normal .
Normal is the attitude that
enables the university 's management to crack down ever so lightly on Lambda Chi while the kegs
roll out and the party roars on at
other frats and all across campus.
The brothers at Lambda Chi did
not do anything out of the ordinary, but they did let a 19-yearold bang himself up in the process,
and so they have been told to go
dry for a spell. Since many of the
members are not old enough to
drink legally, it 's an odd order:
You have embarrassed the school ,
and your punishment is to obey the
law.
We're not so forgetful of our
youth that we think college
students can be stopped f rom get-

ting a drink if they want one.
Neither are we so naive that we
don 't realize the BU administration and town police know where
the hotspots are, but let them keep
bubbling as long as the lids don 't
blow off completel y.
There are plenty of rationalizations. Some portray students as
kids on a lark—youth will be served , so to speak. Others make
alcohol a "life-experience "-a
wonderfully redundant term-as in
the cliche that learnig to handle
alcohol is part of maturation.
It 's all bunk. There are students
who can drink responsibl y, and
they are the ones who handle the
other aspects of their lives the
same way. For other students ,
however, tacit permission to get
drunk at 18 or 19 is a death warrant or the beginning of a lifelong
problem.
Setting the drinking age at 21
was one of the Legislature 's wiser
actions. Many college freshman
are at a dangerous age, full of
themselves, still laboring under a
delusion of invincibility. A few
years of education and experience
of getting kicked around by life a

50 YEARS AGO

bit , may make a responsible decision about alcohol .
Students will drink , but university officials and police have a
responsibility to put the party on
ice to whatever extent they can .
The next time the they are busy
looking the other way, something
more important than the school 's
image may be hurt .

On Sept. 20, 1936, freshman girls had to wear a bow of green ribbon , atleast three inches wide, in their hair. They were also required
to wear their hair in 13 braids, whether they had long or short hair.
A pair of overshoes fastened on a string had to hang around their
necks , and they had to carry umbrellas. If it rained that day, girls had
to carry the umbrellas on the fi rst clear day !
Smoking was prohibited for girl students "while under the authority
of the college." Telephone messages were delivered by the Dean of
Women, but no girl was allowed to speak on the phone herself.
For laundry, each g irl was allowed only 12 articles of plain clothing
a week to get washed .

My personal opinion is that it is
an extra cost to the students and
taxpayers of the local area. What
will happen when something does

crack , or what about a filtration

The cost printed in The

think that money can be used more

to look better and hold more cars.
Maybe add the money to some
athletic activity that needs it. '

Cameron W. Whitmire

Editorial Columnist

The Pennsy lvania House of Representatives recently voted , with
only a handful of dissenting votes, to mandate a minimum wage of
$18,500 a year for entry-level public school teachers.
It is difficult to see the necessity of pay ing that kind of salary to
an untried , untested teacher who only works for 181 days a year and
has a lavish fringe benefits package besides. Many people with the same
level of education work for years to attain that kind of income. One
local attorney, just out of law school , is working for ^ salary of $14,700
a year.
One education major, whose intellect I greatly admire , explained
to me that the minimum wage mandate was necessary because local
school board s would never otherwise have the political courage to pay
what is required to get quality teachers. It seemed like a very good point
until I did some research.
-.
It seems that one of two things must be true. Either a) wage increases do not in themselves provide good teachers or, b) good teachers
are no guarantee of good education.
This is based on the f act that although public school teachers' wages
have increased dramatically over the past 20 years, SAT scores and
almost every other measure of educational acheivement in public schools
have declined. At the same time in private schools, where teachers are
often paid much less , scores have remained steady or improved and
invariabl y outshine public schools.
And I' m not onl y talking about Andover and Mercyhurst , but also
about inner city parochial schools where the students are just as black
or just as poor as the students in the public schools. These private
schools pay less money and educate students better on a smaller budget
than the public schools. It seems obvious that quality of education is
not a function of the salary of the teacher.
It would be a much better policy to take more advantage of the
private schools ' demonstrated talent for educating children. This could
be done by allowing all schools to hire the teachers they need at the
salary they determine is adequate to get the product they desire.
Moreover, the government should enact the often proposed voucher
system whereby parents would be able to choose public or private
schools. Each student would receive a voucher, payable by the government , to enroll at whatever school his parents choose. Vouchers'used
for private schools would be for a limited amount. Since private schools
not only educate better but do it less expensivley, this is an ideal solution.
The opposition comes, predictably, from the teachers unions. Scared
to death that deadwood is bound to be eliminated under this system,
they are fighting vouchers tooth and nail. Albert Shanker, president
of one of the unions , claims that the poor state of public education is
due to low pay and the consequent attraction of less able teachers; an
incredible statement about the membership of his own union.
A minimum wage for teachers is a step in the wrong direction.
Prospective teachers should realize, moreover, that this will do for
education majors what the minimum wage did for teenagers-keep them
from being hired at all.
The minimum wage bill , which was kind of sneaked through the
state House, is predicted to run into trouble in the state Senate. In any
event it is a prime candidate for a vefy apprdpifiate .gubernatorial' veto.

Student resents comments
Dear Editor,
Howard Ackerman's letter to the
Editor (Marc h 3) was cruel due to
his narrow-mineded comments
about New Jersey. He obviously
has not been to Chester, Mendham , Oldwick , Long Beach
Island , or even Pine Beach , to
name a few of the many beautiful
sections of New Jersey. Maybe he
could not find a reason to travel to
New Jersey because he has failed
to see past the damaging comments made by people such as
himself.
Mr. Ackerman 's idea of requiring a visa to leave New Jersey has
got to be the most spiteful , bitter,
disobliging comment. I also resent
his comments about New
Brunswick. A lot of time and
money is being spent in hopes to
improve an unshakeable reputa

tion. A few Bloomsburg University students transfer to Rutgers
Universit-y, which happens to have
a campus located in New
Brunswick. I am sure they would
see no need for a visa.
It is unfortunate that Mr. Ackerman points out an error in Tom
Miller 's attitude , but then also
becomes a victim of such ignorance. Let me recommend to
Mr. Ackerman that he learn a bit
more about New Jersey. Also, next
time, he should realize that there
are many students at Bloomsburg
University from New Jersey who
happen to resent comments made
with no basis, such as the ones he
had the nerve to make.

Japan : There 's no place like home
by Stephanie A. Slysh
for the Voice

A 23-year-old marketing and
management major at Bloomsburg
University doesn 't seem out of the
ordinary until that someone is
Scott Morris. A U.S. citize n born
in Brooklyn , N.Y. , Morris has lived on and off in Tokyo, Japan since
he was 12 because his father works
for IBM as a manager for large
systems, and programmer and was
transferred there. "I wasn 't too excited about it at the time. However,
as I lived there, it grew on me,"
Morris says. Morris lives with his
family, including one brother and
two sisters, in a Japanese style
home in a residential section of
Tokyo. Morris loves all of the
nightlife and culture the city has to
offer. "You're never bored , there's
always something to do! "
Morns went to an international
junior high school . "There were
35 students in the entire school; 1
was the onl y guy in the seventh
grade," states Morris. He changed schools in the eighth grade and
went to an international boys
school that had 1,000 students. His
classmates at this school included
ambassador 's children and other
children that came from 68 different countries.
To earn extra spending money in
high school Morris became an
English tutor. He taught conversational Eng lish privatel y to a couple of students in his home. Morris explains. "'I would flip th rough
magazines, point to pictures, and

__

ask them to tell me what the people were doing," and he adds, "I
also asked them to bring in old
Japanese stories and tell them to
me in English; I would correct
their grammar."
During the summers Morris
came home to the United States ,
but he and his family took the
more adventurous route. "Instead
of fly ing over Hawaii , my family
and I would go the other direction!" he says. Morris has been to
many countries including China ,
Egypt , Greece, India , and Iran.
The country that had the greatest
impact on him was India. The
poverty was terrible, "It was so
sad ; people would follow you for
a mile for a quarter," and adds,
"People were dying of starvation
rig ht in the streets. You would see
a mother and her baby and know
the baby was ging to die."
After graduation , Morns went
to a community college in New
York. "I didn 't like it much ," he
says, so he returned to Japan where
he got his own apartment. He
worked with a modeling agency,
"They find work for you , mostly
for commercials, posters, and
magazines," he says. Morris did
some modeling through the agency for Schick , and Sony. "The
Japanese like American people for
advertising. The country is try ing
to become westernized , they really like foreigners," he states. He
also worked as a New york disc
jockey on "The Shower Gang," an
earl y morning show similar to
MTV. He says, "I didn 't know

* Husky Ambassadors *

^

Would yo u like to be a p restig ious
Husky Ambassador?
Come and see us —

how to DJ, but then I learned j ust
by watching some of my friends
who were disc jockeys."
Through this experience he met
Bill Hersey, public relations director and manager for "The Lexington Queen ," a very presti g ious
ni ght club that attracts people like
Sade , Liza Minneli , and Harrison
Ford , among other fomous
celebrities and groups. Hersey
then asked Morris to be a disc
jockey at a party for the five
women who starred in "Octopussy,"but Morris didn 't take the
job because "I didn 't think I was
good enough." Morris was then
asked to become a host there. "I
was supposed to make people feel
welcome, serve them drinks and
dance with them; just make them
feel comfortable. It was really a lot
of fun ," Morris says.
According to Morris the
nightlife in Japan is much different
than that in the States. "Japanese
people like to have fun. You pay
one price and then you can eat and
drink all you want until the bar
closes, usually around 5 a.m.," he
says. Transportation isn 't hard to
find since the trains begin running
at 5 a.m. until 2 a.m.. The
ni ghtlife is different in other ways
also. "There are many stri p shows
and places to have sex called Move
hotels '. These hotels have vibrating
beds, mirro red ceilings , and just
about anything else you can imagine: And it 's not even expensive!" says Morris.
Morris explained that the drinking age in Japan is 20, but you can
find "Beer Machines " that sell
drinks such as g in fizzes.
"Alcoholism in Japan is rare and
the unemployment rate is only one
or two percent ," Morris
concludes.
Morris ' parents weren 't too happy about his situation in Japa n and
decided that he should finish college. Morris decided to finish in
America for two reasons, first ,
Japan has only two international
universities. The competition to

Summer Archaeology Field
School seeks participants
by Alana Nevis
Staff Writer

Archaeological sites, as nonrenewable resources, are becoming an "endangered species. " The
majority of prehistoric sites in the
United States have already been
destroyed due to the expansion of
cities and construction of
hi ghways. If we are going to
preserve any archaeolog ical sites
for the future, we must begin to
manage the remaining sites more
wisely.
This is a goal proposed by Dr.
Elise M. Brenner, Project Director for the summer field program
in archaeology. The seven-week
archaeological field school will
run fro m May 19 through July 3
and will provide partici pating
students with an intensive research
and training exerience.
Students will receive instruction
in archaeological survey and excavation , sampling strateg ies,
mapping, recording, analysis, and
interpretation. Field training is integrated with classroom instruction

on such topics as the culture
histo ry of Pennsy lvania , material
culture , and archaeolog ical
hypothesis-testing.
The field school- project will
produce the first systematic survey
of the archaeological resources of
Columbia County, documenting
the distribution and variety of
prehistoric sites within the study
reg ion.
What can students gain from the
field school? First , they can gain
valuable research experience. It is
rare for a student to have the opportunity to carry through a
research project from start to
finish. Through the field school ,
students will have the opportunity
to be involved in every phase of the
research. Dr. Brenner describes
such research as "a meaningful
exerience, one which students will
care about because they become a
part of it. A rcaeology is an ongoing process of making decisions in
the field; each individual' s input
is needed ."
In addition to .archaeological
training, the field school offers, an
enjoyable summer experience.
Most jobs in our society today are

indoor, office jobs; people sit
behind a desk. The field school
gives students the opportunity to
be outdoors eight hours a day.
Brenner feels that working outdoors can be a refreshing change
from the indoor classroom setting.
Field school students will also
acquire reasoning and problemsolving skills , which will be useful
in all future endeavors. Archaeology involves ongoing
problem-solving. Archaeologists
must infer past human behavior
from material remains found in the
ground. There are no living people to observe and interview.
Therefore, an archaeolog ist 's job
involves building theories and
models that relate material remains
in the ground to actual past human
behavior. This kind of modelbuilding requires log ic and
reasoning .

BU senior selected as Most
Outstanding Biology Student

by Bridget Gasper
for the Voice
The week that Berwick fourth
grader Bob Fetterman went on a
field trip to the Veterinary
Hospital , he was also assigned to
write a paper about his possible
future career.
. *
Fetterman , now 21, and a
Bloomsburg University senior
with a 3.78 g.p.a. notes that , "I
was so impressed by the Vet
Hospital that I wrote how I wanted
to be a veterinarian . Ever since
then I've worked toward my goal ."
Fetterman 's parents didn 't
believe that he would be so serious
about being a vet . "They thought
I would change my mind. "
Fetterman was recently selected
by the Biology department as the
Most Outstanding Biology student .
The Outstanding Biology student
is selected on academic achievement , extra-curricular activity, and
the student 's contribution to the
universtiy or community, according to the department of
Biological and Allied Health
Sciences.
Biology professors Fredrick Hill
and Louis Mingrone both felt that
Fetterman was well qualified for
the Outstanding Student award .
Mingrone says, "Bob works hard
to get ahead by doing the extraordinary instead of just sliding by.
He is the kind of kid-that does his

work and helps the others too. He
always wants to see more."
He is .a member of Kappa Mu
Epsilon , a math honor society; and
Phi Kappa Phi , an interdisci plinary national honor
society.
Fetterman is currently doing an
intershi p at the Bloomsburg
Veterinary Hospital as well as
working there every morning as a
janitor. He observes routin e
surgery on small animals including
declaws, castrations, hernias, and
many operations involving the
animal 's reproductive system.
Every Saturday he goes on rounds
with the veterinarian to observe
large animals on farms within five
counties. "The most exciting and
fascinating surgery I' ve seen was
a cesearean section on a cow; the
calf was too large and had to be cut
out. The entire operation took
almost two hours."
Fetterman s hobbies are basketball , reading, and bike riding, "it
helps me ease the pressure." He
also enjoys movies--'! love the
movies. I always root for the
underdog because he never lacks
self confidence. Confidence is important to have. You can 't be afraid
to do anything."
In high school Fetterman was on
the track team and a member of the
National Honor Society.
Fetterman's-current experience
will have a chance to be proven.

will learn. "

Les Alston goes airborn on his way to two points against York
College in basketball action this past season.

The Bloomsburg University
men 's basketball team has recently completed its 20th consecutive
winning season and will see five
seniors leave the squad .
The most notable departure is
that of Glenn Noack. Noack closed out an illustrious career at
Bloomsburg with 1,504 points ,
good for second place on the
school's all-time scoring list.
¦Noack led the squad with 408
points in 26 games for a 15.7
average.
Additionall y, Noack tied for the
team lead in rebounding average
with 5.1 per game/ Noack was second on the team in assists with 60,
and led the team in free throw
percentage by making 85.2 percent
of his shots.
Les Austin is also a Husk y
whose absence will be felt next
year by coach Charlie Chronister 's
club.
Austin led BU in the assist
category with 96 and was also tops
in field goal percentage, making

53.8 percent of his shots on 112 for
208 shooting.
In addtion , Austin was second in
points scored and average points
(280, 10.8) and was a close third
on the team in free throw percentage (56-69, 81.2 percent).
Also among the departed will be
forward Shane Planutis . Planutis
has been a mainstay for the
Huskies throughout his four years
at BU, and was consistentl y among
the team leaders in many
categories.
