Students move on nation's Capitol to
protest cuts in education budget
by Megan DiPrete
for the Voice

College students from around
the country converged on our nation 's Capitol this past weekend in
an attempt to urge legislators to
stop funding cuts in the Education
Budget.
Education cutbacks in the
1986-87 federal budget was the
concern of students attending the
nationwide lobby day. Not onl y
does the federal budget proposal
call for massive cuts in virtually all
education programs, including
more than a 50 percent reduction
in Work Study alone, but two other
programs also need immediate student attention.
One is a bill which sets the limits
of how much the federal government can put into our financial aid
programs. All of this began in
1965 when President Lyndon
Johnson established these needsbased programs. In doing so, he
decreed that education is virtually and unequivocally the most fundamental program our nation

Tickets can be
avoided by
reading p amphlet
by Lynne Ernst
Staff Writer

A large number of students and
faculty members rely on a motor
vehicle to get to and from campus.
At some point in time, many of
these car owners will become infuriated by a parking ticket that has
been placed on their windshield .
What these people do not realize
is that there are simple procedures
to follow in order to avoid receiving a ticket.
Kenneth Weaver, chief of Law
Enforcement at Bloomsburg
University, offered the biggest tip
for avoiding fines. "When you
register, read the brochure.'' The
brochure is entitled , "Motor Vehicle Regulations," and it outlines all
of the do's and don 'ts of parking
on campus.
After most people register, they
discard the .pamphlet without
reading the important information,
which can be a costly mistake. The
importance of reading the pamphlet should and will be emphasized upon the registering of a car in
the future.

could support .
Every five years this law, the
Higher Education Act , must be
reauthorized by Congress. So the
funding limits to be set by this October will remain in effect for the
next five years , inflation
notwithstanding.
The other program students are
discussing is the Gramm-Rudman
"balanced budget " amendment.
Since 1981, the federal deficit has
grown exponentially and now this
bill strives to reach a goal which
many believe to be utopianeliminating the federal deficit
without damaging our social or
economic status. The students in
Washington today believe that this
massive deficit can and should be
eliminated . They do not believe,
however, that ours or any advanced nation should abandon its committment to education in order to
do so.
This year, even more states attended the lobbying in the Capitol
halls.
Another front faced is the
federal budget itself. The 1986-87
fiscal year budget request cut has
several major set backs for the
bulk of the student body:
1) It requests a $300 million cut in
Pell Grants. Of the 5,900 full-time
undergraduates at BU, many of

whom receive some Pell aid , 418
students will be comp letel y
eliminated from the grant
program ;
2) It calls for a 30 percent reduction in Guaranteed Student Loans
(GSL) . Which means almost one
in three borrowers would be
eliminated from the GSL program;
3) It combines the Supp lemental
Education Opportunity Grant
(SEOG) with the College Work
Study (CWS), and ;
4) Sets funding for these programs
at almost 60 percent below the current funding levels.
The immediate effects will be
drastic and today 's lobby ists hope
to convince Congress that a quality education is expensive and the
middle and lower classes cannot
affo rd the escalating tuition .
Another problem is a lack of
money on the federal level which
trickles the problem down to the
states. In order to compensate for
this , the states will be forced either
to reduce programs, since they
have less funding with which to
support them, or increase the costs
of these programs to the consumer,
which means a tuition hike for college students.
Pennsylvania state colleges need
almost a 10 percent increase in
funding from the state in order to

Students rally outside of the Capitol building in Washington in
an attempt to stop education budget cuts.
avoid a $230 tuition hike. The increase could give Pennsylvania the
distinguishing mark of being the
most expensive public college
system in the country.
The students have organized
around what they consider to be a
cloud looming over education
programs.

Age-old belief that rape is always
committed by a strangeris disproved
by Shelley Shenyo
Staff Writer

The Bloomsburg Women 's
Center and the Center for
Counseling and Human Development presented the program "Not
Always by a Stranger: Acquaintance Rape." A panel of nine experts presented the topic before
students and faculty on March 12.
The panel discussed such issues
as the-definition of rape and the
procedure to follow in case of it.
They also talked about the emotional aspects of rape and the
counseling available for those
wishing to seek it.
Acquaintance rape is rape, attempted penetration or penetration , by someone that you know.
' 'You are more likely to be raped
by someone you know than someone you don 't know," Shell
Lundahl , Center for Counseling
and Human Development, said .
"It is anything that happens after

a person says no.
Kay Camplese, director of
Counseling and Human Development, pointed out that sexual
assault is not just going on in other
universities, it is happening here
also. Camplese went on to say that
the average rape victim is 17 or 18
years of age, very naive and very
unsure, of campus life.
Another topic of . concern
presented by the panel was the way
society feels towards victims of
sexual assault. Rape victims are
often ridiculed and become outcasts. People tend to ignore their
situation rather than face what has
happened , because no one wants
to admit that it is a problem.
The experts also expressed their
views on how to give reassurance
and emotional support to rape victims. Susan Weaver Vought, of the
Bloomsburg Women's Center, and
Lundahl ' expressed the extreme
importance of counseling during
the aftermath of rane. "Everv

woman that has been raped must
face what has happened in order
for her to get on with her life."
Sandra Argenio, a doctor from
Geisinger Medical Center, stressed the importance of a thorough
examination not onl y for the legal
concerns, but also for the victim's
own physical well being. The staff
at Geisinger is trained to handle
such situations, so not to make the
victim feel uncomfortable, but
rather help start them on the healing process.
Helen Koschoff , assistant
district attorney, and Debra
Barnes, assistant chief of security
at BU, talked about the various
legal procedures a rape victim can
go through if they choose. They
both stated that a victim of rape
should contact the police as soon
as possible so the police can provide protection and support. The
police can also begin to collect

Bloomsburg's downtown businesses are growing
from other communities."

by Mari a Libertella
for the Voice

The next time you walk
downtown, be sure to take a few
extra dollars. You may want to buy
an ice cream cone at Lickity-Split ,
a donut at the Cozy Corner Bake
Shop or a cocktail at Harry 's Bar.
The town of Bloomsburg has been
growing.
"The plans for downtown were
developed four to five years ago,"
Town Secretary Gerry Depo said.
' About 40 members of the community joined their ideas and
decided what improvements and
additions downtown needed."
The type of planning that helped
to develop downtown is now being
used by the Bloomsburg community on a much larger scale. It began
late last November when 20 community leaders and two planning
consultants went to the Skytop
Pocono Resort for an overnight
stay. "We went to discuss and to
try and develop key areas that
needed work," said Depo. "We
were try ing to identif y
Bloomsburg ; looking at our
strengths and weaknesses and finding out what makes us different

The partici pants, with the hel p
of the consultants , are working on
a strategic plan that would access,
develop and improve the community as a whole and the internal operations of the town.
The various needs of the community are being represented and
dealt with by individual task
forces. The Infrastructure Task
Force deals with public transportation , water and sewer problems.
REACT deals with recreation.
entertainment , arts, culture and
tourism. The Futures Task Force
looks at how the national and international trends will affect
Bloomsburg. There is4 also a task
force for housing communications ,
human services, small businesses,
data , town gown and finance.
"There are so many of them ," said
Sharon Laky, a Bloomsburg
Unive rsity business major who is
doing an internship with the town .
"I keep them informed in order to
prevent overlapping of jobs."
Not only are the needs of the
town represented in each task
force, but so are the opinions of the
various groups of people involved.
"We want to have the right
representation of different people,"

stressed Depo. "We want to build
an overall consensus.
"The needs of the students , the
younger people , the elderl y and
the blue collar worker," said Laky,
"have all been taken into consideration."
BU students Bruce Stewart ,
Drachel Moore and Gwen Hall
have been representing the college
since the retreat. Dr. Dana Ulloth
is the chairperson of the communications task force. Dr. Harry
Ausprich is co-chair of the REACT
Committee and "has put a lot of
work into the project," said Depo.
"There are quite a tew university
students , professors and vicepresidents on the committees. The
support from other areas of the
community has also been very
strong."
Heading the operation are consultants Graham Toft, a strategic
planner and research engineer, and
Bonnie Maitlen , community
organizer and management consultant. "They have been a definate
plus to our project," said Depo.
"They have developed exercises
for the task forces to do," added
Laky. "They sit back and watch
and keep things on track , but they
never tell the groups what to do.''
The consultants , who are based in
Indiana , are due for a visit -in

August 1986, attend a local high
school and return to their home
country in June 1987.
The students , all fluent in
Eng lish , have been screened by
their school representatives in their
home countries and have spending
money and medical insurance.
Host Families may deduct $50 per
month for income tax purposes.
AISE is also seeking American

Attendance at SOAR "rap sessions" at BU has been low and
further
participation
is
encouraged .
' - l ' - ?••.; " .
Topics being discussed
throughout March and April include time management, parenting
and adjusting to college. The sessions are intended for anyone who
has a problem or is just willing to
discuss ideas , thoug hts or
concerns.
Intern , Elaine Graham, is
available at the Counseling Center
Monday through Thursday afternoons and she will arrange other
times if possible.
The final general membershi p
meeting for all SOAR members
will be Sunday, April 20 at 1 p.m.
at the town park. A family-style
picnic is planned and members
should bring tableware and meat
for their families. The new officers
will be installed and awards
presented.
If it rains the picnic will be
changed to Centennial Gym.

(continued from page 1)
A large percentage of tickets are
given to people during emergency
parking. An example of this could
be when a person is unable to get
their car started and leaves it in an
illegal parking area. The person
should first call the security office,
then leave a note on the car and
then go to the security office for
an offical Disabled Permit.
The Disabled Permit is much
more specific than just a note, and
since it is bri ght pink it alerts officers not to ticket the car. If a
ticket is given and a Disabled Permit was in clear view of the officer,
the ticket recipient would have a
strong appeal case. Also, if for
some reason you have to park a car
that is not registered at the university, temporary permits are
available and so are visitor and
handicapped permits.
It is important for ticket
receivers to know that if they feel
their ticket is unjust, they can have

a written or oral appeal . The traffic committee meets on the first
and third Friday of every month to
review appeals and discuss parking problems on campus.
The Chairman of the Traffic
Department, Dr. Richard Alderfer,
said , "We'll listen until we feel someone is trying to get away with
something ." He said about half of
the appeal's are approved and half
are denied . But Alderfer added ,
"The committee needs student
representation. They ask for
representation, but they don't show
up.Tn the last month, one student
has come."
Important issues about future
parking plans are discussed in the
committee and recommendations
and student input are valuable.

areas of priority. "Each will come
up with one or two plans that they
feel are most important ," said
Laky, "they will present them to
the consultants who have done
research on the town. Together
they will decide which projects are
most needed."
"It will take about a year before
the final strategic plan is
developed ," said Depo. "Then ,
depending on the project, implementation won't begin for two,
five, maybe even 10years." When
implementation does begin , the
fact that so many people are involved will make it easier. "There
will be less objection from the
community," said Laky.
The townspeople and their
leaders realize that there are environmental and financial
restraints involved. "Afterall ,
Bloomsburg could never be like
Philadelphia ," said Laky. "The
people are coming up with practical , feasible plans."
"We are in a fast, changing
world ," said Depo. "The town of
Bloomsburg wants to try to take
advantage of some of the upcoming, future developments."

Students ' expectations baffle

by Dr. G. Terry Madonna
President, APSCUF

A study conducted recently by
UCLA and the American Council
of Education shows that today 's
students ' expectations continue to
baffle. The survey, generally considered to be one of the nation 's
most accurate barometers of student behavior, indicates that
students are moving away from the
academic pursuits that seem likely to fit the nation 's economic
direction.
At a time when computer instruction and use is at an all-time
hig h and increasing rapidly, the
number of new freshmen desiring
careers in computer science fields
is declining sharply:
In 1983 and 1984, 8.8 percent
and 6.1 percent , respectively, of
college freshmen chose computer
programming or computer analysis
as a course of study. In 1985, the
figure dropped to 4.4 percent.
Similarl y, the percentage of
freshmen majoring in computer

science declined to 2.3 percent
from 3.4 percent in 1984 and 4.5
percent in 1983.
The decline in computer science
interest is paralleled by a substantial drop in student interest in
engineering career. In 1985, onl y
10 percent of new college
freshmen indicated engineering as
their major academic pursuit , a
decline fromn 10.4 percent in
1984, and down from 12 percent
in 1982, the peak year. Interest in
pure science was also down , with
fewer students showing a
preference for the biological and
physical sciences.
These trends run counter to the
nation 's technological needs, and
should cause concern that labor
shortages in critical areas of the
economy mi ght exacerbate .
Students continue to select careers
in business, which remains the
most popular freshmen major, accounting for about 25 percent of
entering students. Education continues its slow but steady rise with
7.1 percent of the nation 's new

Community Activity f ee:
more worth it than not

There is a lot of talk over
whether or not the Community
Activities fee is worth it.
True, not everyone takes advantage of every function or activity
offered through the Community
Activities fee. But the possibility
of everyone using the available
resources is very probable.
There are always certain things
that some of us like to do and feel
a little put out because we are paying for other things we don 't get
involved with because we choose
not to. But remember, the people
who are enjoy ing the things we do
not may feel the same way but they
are pay ing for them also.
It is sort of an all or nothing deal

here, a deal that must be met
unless we want everything to be a
pay at the time activity.
But think about it , if that sort of
system were implemented , what
kind of activities would we be paying for? With no bud get to bring
in enjoyable and exciting entertainment , how exciting or enjoyable
would it be to pay for them?
So, the next time the you have
to pay the $45 Community Activity fee, don 't get angry about it
because you don 't attend every
movie or every musical performance. Think about what you do
enjoy and remember that it probably wouldn 't be as enjoyable or
even existent without that fee.

freshmen selecting it as a field of
study.
The survey also quizzed entering students on a number of important political and social issues, and
the results were rather surprising .
New freshmen maintain liberal
views despite the fact that 56.7 percent considered themselves to be
"middle of the road ," and 20.9
percent as conservative.
Only a 'distinct minority of the
students~26.6 percent-believe that
defense spending should be increased , down significantly from
38.8 percent in 1982. And more
than two-third s believe the federal
government should increase its effort to bring about disarmament .
New freshmen also believe that the
wealthy should pay more taxes and
that the government doesn 't do
enough to control pollution. A
slight majority—54.9 percentsupport legal abortion and 54.4
percent believe that the busing of
students is an acceptable way to
bring about racial integration .
Many observations were quick
to label America 's students as conservative, particularl y after 56 percent of them voted for Ronald
Reagan in 1984. Political pundits
speculated that the wave of conservatism would bring about a new
political alignment. Based on the
current UCLA survey, such
jud gments , when app lied to
America 's new college students ,
would appear to be premature .

Column gathered by Charlene Milazzo

Teaching children is worth $18,500
Dear Editor,
I would like to address the issue
of a mandatory salary for new
teachers brought out in the March
3 issue of The Voice.
The figure stated in the column
was $18,500. This is barely enough
for anyone to get by on , especially a new teacher trying to make it
on his or her own.
Any job that requires close contact with the public is deserving of
the salary that goes along with that

job. But a teacher 's job goes
beyond that personal contact. It involves taking an eager person ,
willing to learn , and teaching them
ideas and concept and values.
Being a teacher is a difficult job.
It isn 't just sitting at a desk all day
counting numbers or driving a
truck or even programming a computer. It is dealing with impressionable, willing children who
want to learn .

I am in favor of this mandatory
salary. The people who spend the
time in school to learn how to
teach are worth at least a minimum
wage.
They have made a committment
to education and the future of our
children. They deserve $18,500
and much more for taking on the
responsibility of help ing the
children of our country grow intellectually as well as becoming
viable contributo rs to their world.

when he talks about the counterproductive efforts of teacher

Thoug h he accurately states that

by Tom Miller

Editorial Columnist

Half-way around the world , while Americans were in ecstasy over
the restoration of democracy in the Phili ppines, Corazon Aquino was
reaffirming "rule by decree " in that country.
Let 's remember all that 'has happened there is that one dictator
(Marcos was a dictator, not a "leader " like Gorbachev) has been toppled
and replaced by. ...something. We won 't really know if it is a democracy
until Aquino loses an election and steps down. And it doesn 't look good .
Aquino took power after winning an election called according to
the Philippine constitution. That is the basis of her legitimacy ; otherwise she is no more president of the Phili ppines than I am.
But that is apparently the only part of the constitution she tends
to recognize. In a news story, predictabl y buried on the inside pages
of the Philadel phia Inquirer, Aquino's Minister of Justice Neptali Gonzales said , "We can choose what laws and what provisions of the constitution to enforce and to recognize." It follows, he said , that she "has
the power to rule by decree—just as Marcos did."
Mrs. Aquino is reportedly "on the verge of tearing up the. ..constitution and is considering abolition of the quasi-parliamentary
legislature , the Nationa l Assembly."
The natural democratic step would be for Aquino to resign and run
again in a genuine, fair election where the results could be accurately
determined. But the Marcos opposition was united for just that-to oppose Marcos. It is by no means certain that Aquino could win in a genuine election without Marcos to run against. What is certain is that
Aquino 's "New Society " party could not win a majority in the
legislature.
I' m glad Marcos is gone, of course, but let 's wait and see before we
make Corazon Aquino "Woman of the Year." Marcos may well have
called the last election to be held in the Philippines for a long time.

often not enough to keep pace with
the high inflation rate and were by
no means comparable to the salary
increases in other professions
(such as Tom Miller 's majoraccounti ng). So, in fact , teacher
salaries fell along with SAT scores.
Only during the last few years
have substantial gains been made
in teacher pay. At the same time,
the fall in SAT scores has halted.
SATs are now rising. Whether this
correlation between rising salaries
and rising scores is causitive or
coincidenta l , I can 't say.
There is, however, a salary/SAT
score relationship that is causitive.
As the effective salary of teachers
fell , the SAT scores of those college students majoring in education fell. The recent rise in pay
correlates with a concomitant rise
in the SAT scores of education
majors.
Perhaps the academic ability, intelligence, educational achievement or subject knowledge of
teachers is unimportant. Maybe
the quality of education that a child
receives is wholey unrelated to the
quality of that child's teacher.
Maybe. But I, for one, don 't
believe it.
In order to get a high quality
employee, you must pay a high
salary. That 's why Miller will
make $30,000 a year-to start .
If quality teachers are important ,
then why will Miller be paid more
the day he graduates than I will be
after 20 years of teaching. Is he
smarter than I? No. Is his GPA
higher? No. Does he have more
experience? No. Will he work
harder? No. Does his job take
more talent or creativity? No. Is
his job more stressful than
teaching 150 14-year olds each
day? No. Does he preform a
greater service to society? No.
Then why is it so?
I think it is because the quality
and value of Miller 's service to his
employer is more easily measured
than mine. It is not greater, just
more easily measured. PriceWaterhouse or Prudential Bache
can quickly, and with a high
degree of certainty, compare the
financial gain received from an
employee's work to the salary that
they pay him. They can adjust their
salary schedule to compete for the
quality of employee that maximizes their profit.

But education is not a "bottom
line " business. Its value to society can 't be measured in dollars and
cents. If we accept that a welleducated populace is essential in
a modern democracy and if we accept that the quality of the teachers
who are teaching our children has
a direct bearing on the education
that they receive, then we must be
willing to pay the financial cost of
attracting high quality people into
the teaching profession.
To choose the cheapest method
of education than the best is folly.

A call came into the Phantom
F-4C fighter requesting assistance
to hel p United States ground
troops that had been p inned dow n
in Souteast Asia by Met Cong who
were pushing across the boarder in
1972. Major Roman Luther received orders to fl y in from south to
nort h to cut off enemy forces.
"When we flew in. I saw the
enemy fi re all around the p lane,
but the pilot didn ' t see it. " Luther
recalls. "I made a suggestion to
the commander to come in fro m
a different dirrection. but he
said .'No. '" The two-seater two
eng ine plane flew in south to north
only to get fired at again. This time
the pilot saw the fire and new
orders came throug h to fl y in east
to west. The mission was then successfull y completed. "It was my
most dangerous mission fl ying in
Vietnam ." he savs.
Luther lives in Mountain Top
with his wife. Ang ie , and his two
children. Caroline and Scott . He
is presentl y on a thre e year stay,
instructing Air Force ROTC at
Wilkes College and Bloomsburg
University. Luther chose to teach
Air Force ROTC because, "It was
the lesser of several evils ," he
jokes.
When Luther worked as an
operation sta ff officer in the ninth
Air Force Head quarters at Shaw
Air Force Base in 1984, he wanted
to move on , but found no options
were open at that time. "They
wanted to send me overseas. I really didn 't want to do that , so I chose
to teach ROTC," Luther says.
He first became involved in
ROTC when he went to Texas
A&M University, a quasi-military
college at the time he attended . He
wanted to be a pilot , but found his
eyes were not good enoug h for the
20-20 vision required , so he decided he would be an Air Force
nav igator. This way he still could
fl y and receive fli ght pay.
A fter he graduated college in
1970, Luther went to Mather Air
Force Base, Sacramento, for nine
months of nav igational school . He
then went to George Air Force
Base, Sacramento, for six months
of Air Force training. He then partici pated for one year in the Vietnam War at Phucat , Vietnam , and
at Da Nang, Vietnam.
While flying in the war, Luther
earned several medals. He was
nominated for the Silver Sta r, but
received the Air Medal for initiating a Search and Rescue for a

yigator that were flflynilot
navieator
p ilot and nav
mising in another p lane on his
sion. The men 's p lane was shot
dow n by 23 mm tri p le A fire and
were forced to parachu te into the
ocean. They had to be located by
Luther so the Navy could p ick
them up.
He also received other medals ,
including the Distinguished Fly ing
Cross, "fo r and accumulation of
things. " he says.
Beg inning in 1972. Luther spent
two years in Eng land at Royal Air
Force (RAFj Lakenheath. He was
then stationed at Holloman Air
Force Base. New Mexico , fl y ing
the F-4C Phantom until 1977. He
returned to England RAF
Lakenheath for a year, then went
to Germany for two years at Ramstein Air Base.
Beeinnins in December of 1980.
Luther was stationed for four years
at Shaw Air Force Base, South
Carolina. He acted as operation
staff officer in the ninth Air Force
Head quarters. It was during this
time that Luther was a life support
officer. He designed a new program for survival training that was
adopted by all of the ninth Air
Force and all of the twelfth Air
Force west of the Mississi ppi.
The program entails taking men
just coming in from fli ght , and
g iving them , "onl y the clothes
they have on , their survival kits ,
and their surviva l vest. They are
dropped off in the forest and told
where they will be picked up the
next day. The men are expected to
survive for 24 hours , and then be
at their destined pickup, " Luther
says.
The Air Force ROTC is a four
year program of military training.
Luther says it is similar to the Air
Force Academy in the material
covered , but the Academy 's
students are milita ry full-time.
"Their schooling is like that of
college student 's with a dual
deg ree, one of which is in the
milita ry and the other which in a
technical field ," he said . Air Force
ROTC is also similar to Officer
Training School (OTS), Luther explained , but OTS is for college
graduates. These OTS students attend trainin g for onl y 12 weeks.
Freshman and sophomore Air
Force ROTC cadets are taught a
basic introduction to the Air Force,
"We teach them the history of the
Air Force and how it fits in with
the military." Luther says, "Some
leadership skills and organizational
material are taught, along with different types of airplanes and the
military rank structure. It 's
basically a familiarization pro-

gram. "
During the sophomore year,
cadets have the option to stay with
the Air Force, or to withdraw. If
they stay, they are put under considerable pressure at a required
four week basic training summer
camp where they learn about
leadershi p and undergo a rigorous
fitness program.
For junior and senior years, a
three credit , three hour a week
class is required where heavy
management , National Security
and officershi p is thoroughl y
covered. Luther says, "The cadets
learn what is expected from them
and what to expect while in the Air
Force."
Luther says he stayed in the Air
Force for 16 years because, "It 's
fun and I like it! I think I'll stay
with it for four more years. Then
I can retire , unless I become
Lieutenent Colonel. Then I would
stay with the Air Force longer."
Luther only has 18 months left
at Wilkes College and BU, and
then he wants to get back into the
air fl y ing. He says, "It will not be
easy, but I' m determined to do it!"

BTE continues fund
Student at Large
drive with Year II
What to do when reason Slides

The Bloomsburg Theatre
Ensemble announced the continuation of the fund drive they began
in 1985, The BTE Challenge . The
goal for Year II of the campa ign is
$150,000: $75,000 each for debt
retirement and continued operations. Last year 's successful campaign between May and September
raised $148,774.
"The new year brings us continuing challenges ," reminded
Kath y Baas and Bru ce E.
Bowman , fund drive co-chair.
"We are challenged to improve audience attendance and increase
subscriptions , to work towards
eliminating our mortage of
$238,000 and to raise funds for
continued operations so we may
trul y live up to our mission of
bring ing extraordinary theatre to
this region. We begin this year 's
drive with $41,332 already received or pledged."
BTE began 1986 with terrific
momentum: 7,329 people saw A
ChristmasCarol in December, and
they reached their goal of 1,000
subscribers in this , their eighth
season. "This growing audience is
our best hope for the future ," said
Felecia Girton , board president .

f

'But we cannot stop there. There
is still much to be done. The BTE
Challenge, our annual fund drive,
will enable us to accomplish the
artistic and institutional goals of
BTE. We are making great progress, and we are the most stable
we have ever been , but the commitment must continue to be
strong and demonstrated from this
region in order for us to stay
healthy."
The theme for this year 's fund
drive is T will not follow where the
path may lead , but will go where
there is not a path and I will leave
a trail.' Dan Kirsch , administrative
director, explains , "That quote
reall y hits home and g ives credit
to both the ensemble and this
region for nuturing this company
for the past eight years. In the next
few weeks the ensemble will announce the plays for the ninth
season , and we ' re beg inning
preliminary plans for our 10th anniversary season. This community has made this possible throug h
their continued support and encouragement. Thanks."
The BTE Challenge : Year II is
now in progress and the individual
(continued on page 8)

In a move of sheer fiscal
brilliance, the laws were changed
and financial aid cuts were matched with tjuition increases. Money,
not brains, became the chief prerequisite for college. Between
Gramm-Rudman and Governor
Thornburgh's $220 tuition increase, little was left to the imagination , let alone intellect.
The U.S. Government, believing
the college students in this country were buy ing corvettes and
BMW's with Uncle Sam 's dollars ,
cut financial aid to thousands of
students who previously received
funding that barely kept them in
school. This move saved millions
and allowed our military to ensure
the capability of destroying the
world one more time.
Poor Bloomsburg University.
Needing students to fill the
classrooms, money for the coffers,
the university started accepting
monied , if not intelligent, individual s to replace the dynamic,
yet poor, students who were forced to quit.
No one really minded . The professors had a much easier time
grading papers written in crayon
and the number of students

Don Chomiak
fighting the administration on
issues fell from a few to zero. No
one knew any better. The administration had little trouble controlling its new-found flock of
sheep.
Professor Herb L. Smith , of the
newly established Basket Weaving
Department , said "The quality of
the kids here is real good . It ain 't
changed a bit. Bloomburg is in real
fine shape. Yessirree!"
With the decline of retention ,
new departments were created to
give even Professor Smith' s
students a chance at a degree.
Lawn watering and mowing,
weight lifting, and newspaper
delivery became new majors at
B.U. Eventually, all departments
requiring actual students were

eliminated to keep GPA's at the national average. Extracurricular activities including the school paper,
theatre , and fotensics were
eliminated also. No one could
remember how to interpret the
written word. Instead, keg rolling,
chilling , and tapping gained new
emphasis due to the rise of a new
sport , beersliding.
So if you have the money and
are interested in a school where
studying is a relic of years gone by,
come to the new Bloomsburg
University, try a beerslide, and get
involved .

comment on society.)

Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic serves residents while training students
by Cathy Desko
for the Voice

Area residents have been served by the Speech, Hearing and
Language Clinic at Bloomsburg
University for more than 45 years,
but few people around campus are
aware of the services provided by
the clinic.
Every day the clinic treats from
35 to 50 clients from a wide
geographical area , including
Bloomsburg, Berwick, Danville
and Catawissa.
The clinic is housed on the
ground floor of Navy Hall. It provides free diagnostic services, including testing and evaluation , as
well as therapeutic services for
people of all ages, Dianne Angela,
primary clinical supervisor, said.

The clinic is accredited by the
Professional Services Board of the
American Speech, Language and
Hearing Association, Angelo said.
The clinic is a public service provided by BU from the professional
training programs of the Department of Communication Disorders
and Special Education.
"The clinic is a training institution for student clinicians, both
graduate and undergraduate
students," Angelo said . The clinic
specializes in audiological services, speech and language services and hearing impaired
services.
Audiological services determine
the presence and type of hearing
impairment and the appropriateness of hearing aids,
Angelo said . "Speech and
language services are used to

on the early diagnosis and treatment of problems.
"The clinic serves the community with free speech and hearing screenings to identify individuals with communication

majoring in speech pathology,
audiology and education of the
hearing impaired are required to
work in the clinic. "The student

primary clinical supervisor ,
Angelo oversees all evaluations
and therapy in the clinic.
"Student clinicians are required

said . As a student clinician , Einbinder 's duties include reviewing
client folders and keeping daily
logs on client performance. Einbinder works with three clients for
a total of six hours a week.
Student clinicians also perform
diagnostic evaluations, which are
tests to determine a client's problems and any improvement the
client makes, Einbinder said.
Angelo observes and advises the
students , she added .

chosen to the East Region 's first
team along with John Matthews of
Gannon University and Glen

A pair fro m Mansfield University, Chris Vennig and Brian

NABC's second team . Last week,
the duo earned PSAC Eastern
Division second team honors as
well.
They
were joined
by
Philadelp hia Textile's Darren
Keith , Todd Lee of Mercyhurst
and "Juan Rodriguez of Gannon ,
which along with Mansfield, was
the only other school to have more
than one player named to the allstar squad .
The regional selections are now

. season as did all Northern Division first baseman Neil Boyd.
Newcomers Steve Clemens ,
Gordon Hassenplug, Matt Karchner , Ken Kociban , Eric
Pedersen, Jeff Reiterman and Steve
Yursatis all could see time on the
mound for the Huskies sometime
in the more than 40-game slate that
begins with a trip to Sanford ,
Florida On Mareh 20-28.
Boyd returns at first base where
he hit .359 last year and had the
second highest field average
among the starters, committing
just three errors in 159 chances.
He was also the club leader in runs
scored with 18 .
Junior Rob Kirkpatnck , along
with Pedersen , could fill in for
Boyd in some of the 14
doubleheaders scheduled or when
he draws pitching duty.
Junior Scott Michael hit .289 in
25 games last year as the Huskies'
second baseman and led the squad
in sacrifices as well as assists on
defense.
BU's third baseman also returns
as Bill Salamy, who hit .321 last
season , will hold down that position. The same name, but a new
face, will split the veteran pair as
freshman Matt Karchner takes
over for his departed brother Scott
at shortstop. "The infield should
be outstanding defensively," said
Babb.
The outfield returns intact with
the team 's leading hitter John

Nicodem in leftfield , Sees patrolling center , and Forbes in
ri ghtfield.
Nicodem hit .440 in 1985, and
Sees was the team 's top defensive
performer as he did not commit an
error during the entire season.
Coach Babb should feel comfortable with his catching situation as
a pair of veterans, who each have
seen a lot of duty in the last
seasons, return .
Senior Mark Bonshak , one of
the Huskies ' tri-captains , hit .261
last year and junior Bill Adams hit
.310.
"Our offense was adequate a
year ago," stated Babb. "Getting
hits wasn 't a nrnhl^m hut opttino

timely hits was!"
After an 11-5 start last season ,
the Huskies finished at J4-13. If the
pitching holds up and the finish
equals the start , Bloomsburg has
the capabilities of appearing in the
conference playoffs for the firs t
time ever.
"It 's going to be an interesting
year for us,'' said Babb. ' 'If we can
get together as a unit early, we
could make it a real fight for the
playoff spots."

If they can avoid injuries

Baseball team looks to
compete for PC title
If his 1986 team can avoid the
injuries that caused it to lose eight
of the final 11 games a year ago,
Bloomsburg University baseball
coach John Babb feels his Huskies
can take a good shot at one of the
two playoff berths in the Pennsy lvania Conference 's Eastern
Division.
"We still had a good season, but
it could have been a great one,''
commented the second year mentor. "In the middle of the season ,
we were the best team in our division , but somewhere along the
line, I let them get complacent; we
just stopped executing."
This season , the conference will
revert back to its two divisional
setup with the Huskies competing
in the East along with East
Kutztown ,
Stroudsburg ,

Mansfield , Millersville and
Shippensburg.
The change back from three
divisions was necessitated by the
move of West Chester to NCAA
Division I status.
Fifteen veterans of last year 's
near miss of the PC's Northern
Division crown return as part of
the Huskies' 25-man roster, which
includes 13 performers who could
see time on the mound.
"Pitching wins games, and we
have some good , quality people to
throw the ball ," Babb stated . "We
have much more depth in our staff
this season , and we are geting better in that area."
Bloomsburg must replace its
leading winner from 1985, Dean
Adams, and the leader in appearances, Brian Salsman , but

returns other pitchers who saw action last season. The major goal of
the staff has to be to lower the team
earned run average of 4.00
Senior. Dan Forbes was second
to Adams in that category with a
2.61 ERA and registered a 3-1
record. Forbes will also see action
in the outfield where he hit for a
.255 average. He is one of six
fourth year players on the 1986 unit
and registered complete games in
four of his six starts.
Babb is hoping the experience of
seniors Steve ... Brooks , Mark
Kessler, and Bill Roehl will hel p
until several young pitchers have
time to develop.
In addition , two local products ,
Rick SheJlenberger and Steve
Sees, saw action on the mound last

Freshman Joan Wojtowicz captured three national titles and Kelly
Knau s earned Ail-American status
at the NCAA Division II national
championshi p swimming and diving meet held last weekend at the
Justus Aquatic Center in Orlando ,
Fla.
Wojtowicz earned titles in the
500-yard, 200-yard, and 1650-yard
freestyles and was within a second
of national records and Division I
qualif ying times in all races.
"In both the 500-yard and
1650-yard races it wasn 't even a
contest ," said head coach Mary
Gardner. ' 'Joan was in total command."
"Three national champ ionships
as a freshman says a lot for the
g irl' s ability, " continued Gardner.
Wojtowicz won the 500-yard
freestyle in a time of 4:53.81. Her
time in the 200-ya rd freestyle was
1:51.96 and she finished in
16:51.26 1650-yard freesty le.
The times were all new team
records.
Also turning in a fine performance for Bloomsburg was Kell y
Knaus who was performing for the
last time as a Husky.
Knaus earned her All-American

honor in the 400-yard individual
medley by coming in fifth with a
time of 4:37.6, which is a team
record .
"Her maturity and experience
helped our younger kids stay
together," said Gardner. "She had
a real good meet ."
Knaus finished 10th in the
200-yard individual medley with a
personal best time of 2:10.75. She
grabbed 11th place in the 100-yard
backstroke with a personal best
time of 1:00.97, and finished 12th
in the 200-yard backstroke in
2:11.81.
In addition , she was part of the
13th place 400-yard medley relay
team with a 4:02 .00 time. Knaus ,
along with Carol Gurniak , Beth
Roeder, and Wojtowicz, finished
14th in the 200-yard medley relay
team in 1:52.42.
The Huskies finished 14th
overall , which was a bit of a letdown for Gardner.
"What hurt us was the lack of
freesty le relay entries in the meet,"
said Gardner. "We had our
strongest showing individually, but
our weakest in the relays."
Additionally for the Huskies,
Roeder finished 15th in the
100-yard butterfly with a time of
59 seconds, and Gurniak finished
17th in the 100-yard breastroke in
1:09.82.
