Asbestos study to meet concerns
by Elizabeth Dacey
News Editor

The State System of Hi gher
Education has proposed a statewide stud y to locate asbestos in
campus buildings . Unive rsities
may or may not choose to conduct
the
survey,
but
Donald
McCullough , director of Physical
Plant and Energy Management,
says Bloomsburg will partici pate.
Earlier in the semester, faculty
in Old Science Hall brought attention to erroding pipe insulation
believed to contain asbestos.
Virgie Bryan , a reading instructor for the Center for Academic
Development , says she felt naive
not noticing the asbestos insulation
on exposed pipes in her office.
She and other taculty occupying
offices in Old Science took action
by addressing letters of concern to
almost every department on
campus.
"It took well over a month for
the univers ity to respond to the
problem ," says Jim Mullen , instructo r and reading coordinator
for the Center for Academic
Development. He also shares an

office with Bryan.
The university handled the problem by encapsulating all exposed areas in Old Science, according
to Donald McCulloug h , director of
Physical Plant and Energy
Management. "This involves
enclosing the asbestos with a
covering and/or sealing it with
paint. " he says.
"All regulations are being
followed and they do not require
the asbestos to be removed ," says
McCullough.
Roger W. Fromm , reference
librarian and campus archivist ,
says he passed on information that
there might be asbestos on pipes
in the university archives. "I did
not attend the actual meeting, but
I gave the idea to the person in
charge who , in turn , approached
Don McCullough , director of the
physical plant on campus ," he
says.
"The pipes might have been
checked , but I don 't know," says
Fromm.
He
was
told
McCulloug h' s answer, but did not
attend the meeting and refused to
comment.
McCulloug h says that all
asbestos used in the original con-

struction of many campus
buildings was encapsulated when
installed and , with time, this
covering might have worn away.
He knows the hazard needs to
and must be contained , but also
says "we should be thankful of the
minimal amount of asbestos on
this campus."
In Milton , the local school board
decided to close down the senior
high school in the spring of 1984
to remove asbestos. Asbestos had
been discovered in the insulation
of the pipes and the ceilings of the
buiding.
They conducted asbestos level
checks with air monitors which
were strategically placed in certain
areas of the building . "They work
like vacuums, taking in air samples
which are placed under electron
microscopes revealing the actual
level of asbestos in the air,'' says
Philli p Hoff , princi pal of Milto n
Senior High School .
. According to Hoff , the federal
government
says asbestos
"should" be removed but would
not have required the closing down
of Milton High School. "The
school board realized that it

Strong opinions on U.S.-Middle East
relations result from Libyan conflict
by John Wilson
for the Voice

At Bloomsburg University,
faculty members and students
from the Middle East have strong
reactions to the deteriorating situation between the United States and
Libya.
The confl ict began a couple of
weeks ago when U.S. forces crossed Moammar Khadafy 's "Line of
Death" in the Gulf of Sidra, a line
established some 40 miles off
Libya's shore and 28 miles into international waters. Libyan ground
forces fired anti-aircraft missiles at
American warplanes, which by international law, had not violated
Libyan airspace. According to the
United States, two Libyan patrol
boats were sunk with about 54 Libyans killed.
Khadafy then declared war on
the United States, which went
unacknowledged-until Monday.
U.S. fighter bombers from a base
in England combined with planes
from U.S. aircraft carriers off
Libya's coast, struck into Tripoli ,
killing the infant daughter of
Khadafy, injuring two of his sons
and destroying various other
targets, including missile sites and

Khadafy 's command post.
The question remains as to
whether some of the damage to
civilian areas- was caused by U.S
warplanes, as Libya claims, or by
misdirected Libyan missiles, as the
United States claims. Most national attention will now be focused on what President Reagan 's
next move will be.
Dr. James Sperry, professor of
history, said, "I think it 's a twopronged situation. On one hand, I
think we were try ing to unsettle
Khadafy, but on the other, I think
we were aiming directly at terrorism. We may actually have been
sending a message to Syria and
Iran about terrorism, but Libya is
the most attackable of the three."
"I think the bombing may have
been a propaganda move by the
United States," said Nawal
Bonomo, a secretary in the aft
department and native of Lebanon.
"It almost appears the United
States may be picking on
Khadafy."
Two BU students, Adil Rashid,
from Kuwait, and Toria Shiekh,
from Pakistan, agree terrorism was
the main reason for the United
States' action. "I believe terrorism
was the basis for the attack "

Rashid said. "At least it seems that
way." Shiekh said , "Yes, I think
terrorism had much to do with the
attack. "
Bob Young, a - former U.S.
Marine , agrees that Libya "has
been a hotspot for a number of
years and the attack really doesn 't
surprise me."
All agree that Khadafy will now
retaliate in some way. "It won't be
military," Sperry said. "Kahdafy
will probably count on the Arab
nations to help him by imposing
economic sanctions. But, if that
doesn't work, I wouldn't put it past
him to do something drastic."
Bonomo agreed with Sperry,
"Khadafy will stop at nothing, and
it 's unfortunate because it won't
solve the problem."
"There is no doubt," said
Young, "he'll do something
whether it 's more talk or direct attacks on American bases."
Rashid agrees, "Right now I
think he might try something
militarily, but you can never tell.
The recent events, according to
all five, may serve to weaken
Khadafy 's power and eventually
cost him his office. "It might cost
him his job," said Rashid. "But it

lawyer contract
by Karen Reiss
Staff Writer

The Community Government
Association Executive Council
Monday ni ght voted to renew their
contract with the current CGA
lawyer.
John H. Flick , whose office is
at 455 Market St., Bloomsburg, is
available on campus Tuesday
nights from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
He receives $65 for a two-hour
period.
In other business, a proposed
change in post season allocations
was discussed.
"The changes we are working
on will give athletics more responsibly and alleviate problems in
finance," said CGA Treasurer Joe
Cannavo, who has been working
with the athletic department on the
proposal.
Although the proposal is not yet
finished, Cannavo said he plans to
discuss ft with the senate at their
next meeting.
Changing the 1/3 funding policy
for student organizations was also
discussed.
The present policy allows for
organizations to participate in
events, funding the amount needed for one person's involvement 6t
1/3 of the amount for group
involvement.

BU students contribute to Sunshine
Foundation;brighten children's lives

Race offers chance
for varied entrants
to participate

Bobby was five years old , and
dying of leukemia. It seemed as it '
there was no hope of happ iness lor
Bobby and his family. But one day
in January of 1977. Bobby and his
family were approached by Bill
Sample , a Philadel p hia police officer , and founder of the Sunshine
Foundation
Samp le learned that little Bobby yearned to play in the snow. A
few days later , Bobby and his family were skiing, snowmobiling, and
tobagganing in the Pocono Mountains. In the word s of Bobby 's
father , "For a tew days tha horror
in the live s of our famil y retreated
a little. "
The Sunshine Foundation has
helped many terminally ill children
and their families by offering love
and comfort in the form of financial and emotional support.
Ill children and their families are
granted last wishes, like seashore
tri ps , mountain tri ps , Disney trips .

and even Cabbage Patch dolls and
pony rides. These special g ifts require generous contributions , and
Bloomsburg Univers ity is doing
their part to spread a little
sunshine.
In the second Sunshine Foundation up date released by Linda
Zy la , assistant director of
Residence Life, as of March 26,
Elwcll Hall was leading the fundraising efforts, with $503.25 raised so far. Elwell had held a wide
variety of activities , fro m a nonalcoholic "Mocktail Party," to a
Trivial Pursuit Tournament and a
Valentine 's Day cookie sale.
Elwcll also had a "-Wishing
Well" at the PSU vs. BU wrestling match raising $183.25 and
residents are collecting pennies
which have totalled $193 so far. In
fact , penny collecting has been so
successful in Elwell that many
other residence halls have begun to
collect.
Lambda Chi Al pha is in second
place in the fund-rasing efforts ,
with $426 gathered at a car wash.
In third place , with $60, is the
Association of Residence Students ,

followed close by Schuykiil Hall ,
which raised $40 from a dance .
Luzerne Hall has also contribute d
$15 fro m a pool tournament.
All totalled , BU has raised an
impressive $1044.25 so tar, and
fundraising activities will continue
until the end of the semester. "1
am extremel y pleased with the
amount collected so far, and am
looking forward to contined efforts
on the part of our students ,'' Zyla
said.

the effort now," he says.

"
The results of the asbestos level
tests in Milton Hi gh School were
below the danger level , according
to Hoff.
McCulloug h says "I am not
aware of any damaged pipe insulation or friable asbestos (exposed to
open air) on Bloomsburg 's campus , thoug h there is asbestos in
pipe insulation throug hout the enSUMMffl RBITALS $225 A MONTH

McCulloug h is concerned that
784-0816
the idea of asbestos on this camB*
a
^
pus will be over-dramatized.
"Controls i nvolved with asbestos
are there for everyone and should
be recognized in that way.
Remember, reports say asbestos
can cause cancer, not that it does
in every case," he says.
Robert J. Parrish , vice-president
of administration , recalls an
asbestos study completed years
before he came to BU. If such a
study were to require the actual
removal of any asbestos, the cost
would be beyond any individual
university 's budget , he says.
"Extensive remova l of friable

lucky that we have so few areas on

campus with an asbestos haza rd ."
The proposed study by SSHE ,
University Box Office
received by McCulloug h only two
Weekdays - 12:30 to 6 p.m.
days ago, is a state-wide survey
which . partici pating universities
No telephone or mailorders
will fund themselves.

"If , in the future , it is necessary
to remove the asbestos, we will
have full knowledge of where it is
and in what amounts ," says
McCulloug h.
Asbestos is a naturall y-occurring
fibrous material that has been proven to cause cancer in human beings. Between 1946 and 1972 ,
asbestos was used in almost
everything concerning flooring,
roofing , and thermal and electrical
insulation. It is an excellent
fi reprooling element and insulato r
and was even used in music
classrooms for its accoustic
properties.
Dr. Barrett W. Benson , a professor of chemistry at BU, says
"Asbestos is recognized as a
know n inhalation hazard ." This
refers to air born particles fore ign
to the membranes of the human
lung.
A report issued by the U.S.
Genera l Accounting Office points
out that there is no safe level ot
asbestos intake; small amounts are
equall y damag ing. The report also
mentions that the EPA (Environmenta l Protection Agency)
has not yet determined under what
conditions and in what volume
asbestos is hazardous enough to require rem oval. At present , the
report states , there is not a sing le
systematic program fi ghting the
danger of asbestos.
The primary federal agencies
responsible for addressing asbestos
problems are the EPA and the
DER (Department of Environmental Research). Dan Spadoni , public
information director for the DER
in Wil liamsport , says , "Environmental research enforces

EPA regulations concerning
demolition and renovation. It
makes sure asbestos is removed
properl y so that in reconstruction
processes asbestos does not
become friable. "
According to Spadoni , there is
no requirement to remove
asbestos. "When it is encapsulated
or removed a contractor is hired .
Environmental research plays a
part by approving a submitted form
Demoli titled
'Asbestos
tion/Renovation Notificatio n
Plan '," he says.
In 1978, the EPA required inspections on asbestos and school
regulations. "Basicall y, the
parent/teacher organizations and
all employees were informed if
there was asbestos in the
buildings ," says Spadoni.
McCullough says that asbestos
on Bloomsburg 's campus is an
"ongoing-type consideration " but
should not cause panic. He recently read the findings of a report , not
yet released, on asbestos and the
incidents of cancer throug h exposure in office and classroom
environments.
He says "these facts will surely
change the growing scare peop le
seem to have created in dealing
with asbestos; a scare that has
been, blown way out of p roportion. "
McCullough says asbestos is a
very misunderstood mineral , but
something he wants to have as
much knowledge about as
possible.
"There's more asbestos on a ci'
ty street in Philadelphia than the
classrooms of .Old S.cjenc e Hall .'
claims McCullough.

The Bloomsburg Renaissance
Criterium Committee announced it
will be having its second annual
bike race , the Bloomsbur g
Renaissance Criterium , on Sunday. April 27. The bike race will
take place downtow n and novice
bikers as well as pro-bikers are encouraged to partici pate.
Four bike races will be held.
The first is the celebrity race that
kicks off at I p.m. It will consist
of local celebrities and all of the
sponsors of the race.
The novice race will beg in at
1:30 p.m. All bikers in this race
must complete 15 laps , approximatel y 10.5 miles.
The senior 3-4 race starts at 2
p.m. Racers in the race must finish
20 laps , approximately 14 miles.
The Pros/Senior race begins at
3 p.m. The participants in this race
must go 45 laps, approximately
31.5 miles. All of the races will
take place on a closed oval , .7 mile
blacktop surface.
The race will take place rain or
shine. Some people had accidents
on their bikes last year because of
the rain. The races are sanctioned
this year and bikers need to wear

a hard helmet.
With some bicyclistsdoing about
40 mph on the straightaways, the
committee is trying to ensure the
safety of the bikers. Last year
straw bales were placed along the
roadside so bikers had less chance
of injury.
A lot of people from out of state-Florida. Virg inia. Maryland , and
New York—came to the event. An
estimation of the total bikers expected this year is 150.
Two Bloomsburg students did
extremel y well last year. Tony
Sy lvester, who has taken the year
off fro m school to join the probiking circuit , won the pro-am
race and received $250. Tommy
O'Donnell. a senior , won the
category 3-4 race.
Entry forms will be available at
the information desk in Kehr
Union. The registration fee for the
race is $5 per entrant. Prereg istration for the race is requested , however , race day
reg istration will be held at the
Courthouse Plaza at the center of
Main Street , 10 a.m.
Local merchants in town are
sponsoring the races and are giving over $2 ,000 in prizes. There

Strong opinions in Libyan conflic t

(continued from page 1)
depend s on how much it effects his
military generals."
Sperry agreed . "I think
Khadafy is losing power and it
won 't be long before he'll be
replaced ," he said.
"Libya would be better off
without him ," said Bonomo.
"Well Khadafy is good at using
propaganda to divert the problems
of his country, but I' m not sure
he'll survive this ," said Young.
Prior to the recent U.S. bombings, there was the opinion that
Libya had been strengthened by the
Gulf of Sidra incident , two weeks
ago.
"I thoug ht
Libya was
strengthened by the Gulf of Sidra
conflict because Khadafy 's stock
was down with the Arabs and at
home. The incident restored the
belief of the Libyan people in his
ability to lead ," Sperry said.
Rashid agreed , "Khadaf y was
reall y the onl y leader to stand up
to the United States which makes
him a courageous man. The Libyan people must have admired
that. "
"Libya isn 't a world power, but
in the Middle East , Khadafy is
seen as a very strong leader, but
now I don 't know," Shiekh said .
There was division among the
people concerning the Gulf of
Sidra incident , and the U.S. actions at that time. "For us to bac k
down ," said Sperry, "would have
been foolish. These were international waters and regardless of the
type of conflict , military ,
di plomatic , or international , I
think we were blood y ing Libya's
nose for its past in the TWA attack
at Rome Airport. It was a direct
challenge , and we had to respond. "
Young agrees with Sperry.
"There is a recognized 12 mile
limit which clearly indicates no
violation of territorial water. Libya
fi red on us , and we had no choice
but to defend ourselves," he said .
Rashid , however, disagrees with
both Sperry and Young. "Khadafy
didn 't intend to fight the United
States, he just wanted some respect
but didn 't get it. I don 't think the
United States should have reacted
in the way it did , it should have
been more dip lomatic," he said.
Bonomo thinks the United States
provoked Khadafy. "At the Gulf of
Sidra , we were definitely provoking him ," she said. "I think the
U.S. action may have been to
drastic. "
"Believe it or not , Khadafy is
reall y a nice guy and I don 't think
he expected the United States to
react in the way it did ," Shiekh
said. •
However, the United States did
decide to react in an even more
harsh method and reportedly the
main reason was Libya's link to
terrorism. Opinion on Libya's link
to the bombing of a TWA flight at
Rome Airport and most recently,
the bombing of a Berlin disco was

basicall y the same.
"Libya is involved , but not all
terrorist acts came from there,"
said Bonomo. "The Palestinians
recruit Shiite Moslems to do terroristic acts and it seems as though
Khadafy is blamed ."
Sperry agreed. "I don 't think
Libya is fully responsible for terrorism. Ayatollah Khomeini in
Iran is more important in the
development of terrorism than
Khadafy," he said ."It 's just that
Khadafy chooses to be more flamboyant in his approval of these acts.
Thus , the United States sees this
and links him to terrorism."
Rashid supports Sperry 's view.
"No, most terrorism is not done
by Khadafy. He never claimed the
Rome Airport act. Most terrorism
is done by the Palestinians and
Lebanese, with Khadafy 's support , but not involvement ," he
said. "I don 't think Libya is
responsible for terrorism because
they 're strict Moslems."
"In my opinion , no Libya n
Moslem was involved in the TWA
incident , onl y Lebanese terrorists," Shiekh added .
There was some question among
all five as to whether Middle East
leaders will support Khadaf y. "I
really don 't think ," said Bonomo,
"that Khadafy will get support
from anyone except Syria. Most of
the nations will prefer to remain
neutral. "
"The support will be there , but
it 'll be divided ," added Sperry.
"Most support will be from the
Arab nations and out of their
solidarity. However, other nations
such as Saudi Arabi , wish the
United States would continue to
deal harshly with Libya. This is
never revealed to the American
people, but this type of division
does exist."
Young believes Libya will
receive full support. "It appears
Middle Easterners tend to support
each other because of the strong
Islamic ties to each other," he said.
Rashid agreed , "Most of the support for Khadafy will come fro m
Lebanon , while Kuwait , being
neutral , would support neither
side. We do have a good view of
both the United States and Libya."
Shiekh also believes Khadafy
will receive full support. "I think
the peop le of the Middle East
would side with Khadafy. Let 's
face it, Moslems help Moslems no
matter what ," he said.
Concern that Khadafy could
retaliate by ordering terrorist hit
squads in the United States is a
possibility according to all.
"Physically, Libya is capable of
doing it ," Sperry said. "Khadaf y
has very dedicated people behind
him willing to act as the
Kamakazies did in World War
Two, to die for the cause."
"I think it is possible," said
Shiekh, "he could do it in a quiet
way like smuggling people in
through the seas."

Young agrees with Shiekh .
"The ease of entry into this country makes it possible to penetrate
althoug h we do have agencies that
monitor this type of activity," he
said.
Bonomo also believes Khadafy
is capable of setting up hit squads.
"He could do it throug h the
underground, the mafia , CIA , or
I'm sure he has people willing to
recruit for him ," she said.
All agree that U.S.-Middle East
relations will be affected due to the
bombing. "It 'll put us in a potentiall y difficult situation ," Sperry
said , "because it was a radical
move on our part , but maybe now
we'll gain some believability."
When asked if she thought U.S.Middle East relations would remain the same, Bonomo flat ly
stated , "I doubt it."
"As far as I know," said Rashid ,
"most countries will try to stay
neutral , except for a few who may
condemn the action."
"There 's no telling what will
happen now," said Sheikh. Young
agreed . "I suspect there'll be more
talk to incite the situation , but one
can 't really tell what direction
things will move in ," he said.

Team members ask for help
raising funds for PSAC rings

Dear Editor.
We would rather not write this ,
but we feel we have little choice.
It seems like onl y yesterday that
handshakes were a dime a dozen ,
Memories of our PSAC championship are still fresh in our minds.
At summer camp, an 11-0 season
was expected of the Huskies. Now
some people act as if it didn 't
happen.
A fte r all the hallow promises of
November, the PSAC champs are
still $3,000 short ol momento s that
they earned , but have not yet
received.
Along the way. we have contacted the CGA. the athletic
department, and various organizations and businesses. We understand the band needed uniforms for
$18,000, we have no argument
with that. The band works hard
too , but why can ' t we receive a
sing le buck? A fte r all , the money
fro m our rames woes to the CGA.

Only yesterday, when the team
was 0-10 and 1-7-1, there were only a few people in the stands; most
of them family and friends of the
team. Now with the "Cinderella
Year" that we had , everybody
seems to want to jump on the
bandwagon.
Don 't get us wrong, we love the
great backing the whole college
community gave us , but everyone
should stick with us now. If we lost
our first game next year, we would
still be expected to play in front of
a full and rowdy crowd the next
week.
Everyone sees the PSAC chamionshi
p
p T-shirts worn by
everybody on campus. Does
every bod y realize that the
members of the football team had
to pay the full amount for them
too?
And what about the championship mugs that cost us $12? We've

alread y put in $55 out of our own
pockets for the rings. Which , by
the way, were promised to us for
the past four years, if we won it all!
We're not asking for everything
to be handed to us, only for some
cooperation. We' re willing to earn
our own money in various ways ,
but someone always comes up and
points out that we're breaking
NCAA rules, or school policy.
IUP , last year 's PSAC runner -up
to Bloomsburg in a 31-9 rout, got
free rings for winning the Western
Conference. Kind of makes you
think , doesn 't it?
If this letter offends anyone,
we ' re sorry, but we feet it needed
to be written.

Pledging/associating: memorable experience

Dear Editor.
The pledging/associating period
is probably the most meaning ful
and most memorable of a student 's
experiences in a social fra ternity.
Not only is it the important time
of acquiring information and
developing interest and enthusiasm
in the fra ternity, but more importantl y, it is time when lasting
friendships and the true meaning
of "brotherhood " are formed.
Althoug h the basic personality
of each p ledge/associate has been
developed over the years before he
arrives on campus, there is a
definite void in his experience with
fraternity life.

number of years , there is no reason
to expect that his basic personality can or should be changed during a relatively brief pledge period.
In other words the brotherhood
should respect each member for
his own individual qualities.
A stereotyped fraternity often
weakens itself by forcing men into a mold; seeking to destroy the
unique qualities of each member.
The goal of a pled ge progra m
should be to create the attitude
which is necessary to develop a
brother that will help your chapter
grow. This includes creating
enoug h interest and enthusiasm
within each chapter to cause him
to want to p lay an active role in the
chapter during his pledge period ,
as well as after initiation.
From the onset, each pledge
should be told exactly what will be
expected of him. Instead of
foolish , impossible or physical
tasks that often occur during
pledging/association. A pledge/
associate should be involved in activities with the brotherhood , not
ifor them.

It should be impressed upon the
pledges and the brothers that these
are necessary skills that will
prepare them to be effective active
members. Senseless and demeaning pled ge activities have no place
in a good pledge program. It is
time to stop the tradition of' 'It was
done to me, so it should be done
to them."
In addition , all active members
should demonstrate to the pled ges
those qualities which they think a
true brother should possess. This
is where a lot of fraternities fail.
The common contradiction of "Do
what I say, not what I do" cannot
exist.
Since pled ges learn much of the
fraternity by example , they will
usually look up to and emulate
each older member. If an active
has a pledge's respect , the pled ge
will usually take the active 's suggestions seriousl y and generall y
present a good example.
It naturall y places a greater
respons ibility on the active
chapter. Instead of just sitting back
and criticizing the pledges for lack

of initiative , lack of spirit, or lack
of consideration , the actives
themselves must show initiative ,
spirit , and consideration.
The ideal is to have a
pledge/associate class unified
within itself and within the
chapter, with all it members working closely together, not one which
is pushed together by adversity imposed by the active chapter.
The pledge class can best be
drawn together with the brothers
by working with them productively, such as on class projects , community projects, duties in the
house and friendl y rival with the
brotherhood in various sporting
events.

Wass proposal aids Pennsylvania education system

Abortionon demand:
no longer just to
save mother 's lif e
by Tom Miller

Editorial Columnist

I was unable to suppress a sigh of melanchol y when I read a recent article in the Philadel phia Inquirer. "Human feta l tissue grafted
to rats " ran the headline. I wondered: Is there any depth to which
humanity will not sink?
Swedish, French and American scientists have grafted human brain
tissue from aborte d fetuses onto mice and rats. Nazi scientists were
condemned to hang ing at Nuremburg for conducting such experiments
at this. Patrik Brundin , of the University of Lund in Sweden , has said
of these experiments: "We' re not prepared to do it if the society will
not accept it. "
But Brundin is just temporizing. We now have abortion on demand ,
often of living , breathing, cry ing creatures , who are left to die or are
strang led before being hurried off to the incinera tor. A society which
accepts that will accept just about anything.
It 's just another symptom of the sad cheapening of human life today. Once upon a time murder was a special kind of crime. It alone
(with occasional exceptions) carried a capital penalty. In 1986 robbing
a Brinks truck almost certainly will get you more time behind bars than
a "first offense" murder. No longer is murder the worst crime.
Once a beating heart and lungs qualified as "lite." Now that
becomes a little inconvenient afte r a long stay in the hospital and
something called "brain death" has been put forward as the justification for suffocating or starving a patient to death. Since it now appears
that these patients ' brains are going to be needed for nobler purposes
of research , a new criterion will be needed to be found so living brains
and other organs can be extracted for the use of people who figure they
have a clearer right to them.
In the United Kingdom , "test-tube " fetuses now may be experimented on for up to 14 days after fertilization. This time restriction
has an all too familiar ring to it.
I remember the glib asssurances of the abolitionists when the sanctity of life was first breached . Abortions will be performed only to save
the life of the mother, they said , and then only during the first trimester.
Then "mental and psychological well-being " was added as an excuse,
and so on until we have the situation today. Today, for purely social
reasons, perfectl y healthy women are aborted of normal fetuses 28 weeks
(seven months) old and virtuall y capable of independent life. Pretty soon
the children will be able to walk to the incinerator.
There is a bill in Congress right now which would require employers
to grant four months of unpaid leave to new parents, with a guarantee
of getting their j obs back. The National Organization of Women opposes this bill , in my opinion , on the grounds that it might discourage
abortion and encourage women to stay home with their children.
Spouses can now get away with killing their sick wives or "cruel"
husbands and become folk heroes in the process.
It is only a matter of time before the comatose patients are accelerated so that their hearts, kidneys, and livers can be ripped from
their bodies for others to use. It does not require great imagination to
forsee fetuses carried almost to term and then "aborted ," the child' s
parts to be sold off by the "mother. " Farther down the road , perhaps ,
are artificial wombs in which humans can grow for harvest. Science
fiction?
Remember the Hitlerian Holocaust and the trainloads of soap and
fertilizer which were the by-products of .mass murder and that now we
are grafting human brains onto rats.
British essay ist Paul Johnson writes, "Some hospital nurses refuse
to participate in (abortions) and have forgone promotion in consequence.
AN honour to them. The rest know exactly what they are doing, just
as the men who stoked Hike r 's furnaces knew."
' 'I f inally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts: f inancial worries. "

would mean about 20 to 30 dollars
each year in tax savings to
Pennsylvanians.
An Indiana County State
legislator, Paul Wass, has an idea
well worth considering as the
General Assembly begins debate
on the govenor 's proposed budget.
Wass proposes taking the state
revenues generated from the onetenth of one percent tax savings
and placing them into a special account , which he calls the "Educational Supplement Account. "
The account would make
available $114 million , of which he
proposes allocating $89 million to
the state 's school districts , $11.3
million to the State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) and
$13.7 million to the state-related
unive rsities.

Wass is concerned that the
reduction of taxes at the state level
will result in tax increases at the
local level, particularly school property taxes and tuitions at the stateowned and state-related universities. The Indiana County
representative wants to provide
local taxpayer relief and to stabilize
college tuitions.
Here 's why he believes his proposal is important:
"It 's not my intent to take issue
with the Governor 's wish to return
dollars to the taxpayers. But I
believe it 's in the best'interest of
Pennslyvania , the students and
local taxpayers that we return the
dollars through additional appropriations to education. "

a state level and then force people
to pay it immediately at the local
level? My plan also gives the taxpayer relief, but in a different form
which should save them more in
the long run."
Here 's a sample of property tax
relief which would be provided
under the Wass proposal: Harrisburg City Schools, 5.1 percent;
Lancaster City Schools, 3.1 percent; York City Schools, 5.1 percent; Altoona , 5.1 percent; Pittsburgh City Schools, 5.4 percent;
Philadel phia City Schools, 7.4
percent.
Unless additional state monies
are forthcoming, tuition hikes at
the state-owned and state-related
universities are likel y to be
substantial. In the SSHE, a tuition
hike in "the range of $200 per student per year is within the realm
of possibility. The monies made
available in the Wass proposal
would likel y keep any tuition hike
below $100.
Wass has been joined in his proposal by 37 other House members
from both parties , clearly indicating a resevoir of legislative
support for increasing state aid to
school districts and the public
universities. Many legislators
believe that a strong and viable
public education system is a prerequisite to a healthy and vibrant
Pennslyvania economy.
One House member, Representative Joseph W. Battisto of
Monroe County and like Wass a
member of the House Education
Committee, believes that the creation of the Educational Supplement Account is one important
way that Pennslyvania can best
meet the challenge of a more complex
technolog icall y-driven
economy by investing in human
capital.
APSCUF had gone on record in
favor of the Wass plan . We hope
the State Legislature will give it or
other proposals that provide for a
larger monetary investment in the
state's educational system serious
consideration .

Radiation from smoking equal to 300 x-rays
New research could add a new
warning to the list of health
hazard s printed on cigarette
packages.
March Reader's Digest reports
that cigarettes contain so much
radioactivity that a pack-and-ahalf-per-day smoker gets a yearly
dose of radiation in his lungs equal
to what his skin would receive if
exposed to 300 chest X-rays.
Although experts are not sure of
the full extent of the health risks,
Dr. Joseph R. DiFranza of the
University of Massachusetts
Medical Center said he believes,
"Radiation alone could account
for about half of all lung cancers
in smokers."
The radiation in the cigarettes
has been traced to fields where
tobacco is fertilized with
phosphates rich in uranium. The
uranium decays and tobacco plants
readily absorb the radioactive
elements. As a smoker consumes
cigarette after cigarette containing
these radio active elements .

radioactive isotopes may be
deposited in the lungs.
A specialist in radiochemistry,
Edward A. Martell, said most lung
cancers begin at the point where
radioactive debris gathers.
Unfortunately not just smokers
alone are at risk. Reader's Digest
reports at least 50 percent of
radioactive isotopes from cigarette
smoke wind up in the air, and a
smaller percentage are inhal ed by
those around the smoker.
A study by Takeshi Hirayama of
the Institute of Preventive Oncology in Tokyo, showed that nonsmoking wives of heavy smokers
had more than double the risk of
dying from lung cancer than did
wives of non-smokers.
'L
' et everyone sweep in front of his
own door, and the whole world will
be clean. ''

Nelcha gives BU cage team international feel
by Susan Kocher
For the Voice

In Caracas, Venezuela, Alex
Nelcha picked up a basketball two
years ago for the first time in his
life; during the 1985-86 season he
was the starting center for the
Bloomsburg University Huskies.
an
18-year-old
Nelcha ,
freshman , was seen by a teacher
playing basketball at a playground ;
it turned into a chance, to play

semi-professional basketball.
"I did not know how to play
basketball and I had never played
on a team before ," Nelcha says.
"M y high school teacher saw me
playing basketball with friends and
told the manager of the Panteras de
Meranda (a team in the Venezuelan
semi-professional league) about
me.
Nelcha began play ing for the
Panteras de Meranda and soon
became a member of the
Venezuelan Internatio nal team as

Ray Ricketts , assistant basketball
coach for BU , informed his friend
Francisco Diez , the Panteras de
Meranda coach , to look for any
potential basketball p layers interested in coming to the United
States.
Once Diez saw Nelcha play he
contacted Ricketts and Nelcha was
able to enroll at Bloomsburg for
the 1986 spring semeste r.
"We (Ray and I) were not only
looking for a basketeball player,
but someone who was academical-

Althoug h Nelcha was onl y able

they explain everything to me
again , onl y much slower."
Nelcha is an accounting major
and says he sees no problem with
his math classes, but he needs hel p
for his classes that invlove a lot of
reading and writing .
However, Nelcha does not seem
to mind putting in extra hours for
his studies.
"In Venezuela, we go to school
from 7 a.m. to noon and then from
I p.m. to 5 p.m. year round , so I
am used to spending much more

Had Nelcha decided to stay in
Venezuela and go to college he
would have spent a lot more time
in school .
College in Venezuela goes year

government pays for those who
attend.
"I don 't mind putting in the extra time and work because not
everyone gets a chance to come to
America ," Nelcha comments.
In Nelcha 's free time he enjoys
listening to music and play ing
video games. He likes to keep busy
so he does not become too
homesick .
"At first I got homesick all the

go to the Union to keep my mind

Although it gets quite expensive,

Felske sees trades as key
to Phillies ' success in '86
{Editor 's rune : The following is
a reprin t fn>m the Maivh MS'o edition of the "Phillies Phan-OGnun. '')
After the fifth-place finish a year
ago. the Phillies decided a coup le
changes had to be made. At the
winter meetings in December, the
Phillies made two key t rades.
"We felt we had to roll the dice
because at the end of the year, we
felt we didn ' t match up to the Cardinals or Mets ," Felske explained .
Following the first official day of
his camp. Felske sat in his office
he shared with the coaches at
Carpenter Field and looked over
his roster:
Q—Do you think the club has
been strengthened with the two
trades'?
A-Yes. because we filled some
gaps. We wante d a lead-off hitter
and we got two , Gary Redus and
Milt Thompson, and we wanted
help in the bull pen and we got two ,
Steve Bedrosian and Tom Hume.
Q—Are you confident your
bull pen has improved?
A—Definetely. Bedrosian and
Carman give us two quality
closers. We lost 35 one-run games
last year. 27 times we tailed to hold
the lead late in the game.
Now we have two stoppers who
will hel p the confidence of the
team , knowing that we have
Bedrosian and Carman to win
those close games.
Q--Where do Kent Tekulve,
Larry Andersen , Hume and the
others fit in? You can 't carry more
than five relievers.

A-You' re right on the number.
I want to use those guys to get us
to Bedrosian and Carman. I know
they all want the ball in game
situations and I like thai.
Q—Can you really count on
Steve Carlton'/
A--In my mind , yes. I don 'l expect to see his fastball of five to 10
years ago. lie believes in himself ,

his physical condition.
Hec k , aside from walks last
year, he pitched prelly darn good
for a guy piichinj.' in pain.
Q--I1 Sieve 's healthy, sometime

in May you 'll need to go to a liveman rotati on. What happens if he
can 'l answer (he bell?
A-I .cl me say this , if Steve
doesn 'l work out or we need a fifth
slarler , I' ll look first at what we
have on hand .
I wa/il to see what Dave Rucker,
Fred Toliver, Mike Maddux , Arluro Gonzalez , Dave Stewart,
may be even Rocky Childress can
do. A trad e would be a possibility.
Q--The trading of Ozzie Virgil
has left the catching in the hands
of two kids , Darren Daulton and
John Russell.
A-Talent-wise, I believe Daulton
and Russell will be equal to
Virgil 's offensive production. Obviousl y, they don ' t have . Ozzie 's
experience'.

Daulton can catch , thaw and
call the game. His only question
mark is his health. I had Russell
catching in the minors for two
years.
He has a quick release, needs
consistency on his accuracy in
throwing. They 'll catch a lot of innings down here. I' m looking for
them to handle the defensive end.
not offensively.
Q—Will you platoon behind the
plate?
A--I don 't know that yet. We'll
wait until the end of spring training. I want them to show me what
they are capable of.
Q--What will be the starting
infield'?
A—Von H ayes moves to first.
Juan Samuel at second . Tom Foley
at short and Mike Schmidt back to
third .
Hayes didn 't have the good
numbers last year but he 's maturing and learning. He 's played first
before in college and the minors,
so it 's not a totally new position for
him.
Sammy 's reall y improved.
Heck , people thought he couldn 't
play second and last year he cut his
errors from 33 to 15. That 's
incredible.
He 's settling in and getting better and better.
Foley plays a good, sound game
at short. Hey, he hit .262 for us.
Schmidt can return to his normal
position.
He gave us a great defensive job
at fi rst and there might be a day
or two where he'll go over there
is Von Needs a rest or gets hurt.
Q—Your outfield?
A--Redus in left , Thompson in
center and Tex (Glenn Wilson) in
right. I' m sure Garry Maddox will
get some play ing time and the
same for GG (Greg Gross).
Jeff Stone 's chances hinge on
Joe Lefebvre 's knee. Joe and the
medical people are pleased with
his health .
He 'll get some playing time this
spring but I'm not going to push
him. He 's worked too hard to get
this far. So I'll go at his pace.
Q~Are you satisfied with your
bench?
A—Well, we have GG, Luis
Aguayo, Maddox , maybe Lefevbre, Ricky Schu , Steve Jeltz and
Alan Knicel y fit in , too.
But the owners have the option
of going with a 24-man roster.
We'll make that decision at the end
of spring training and it will have
a definite effect on the bench.
For example, we will carry two
catchers and two infieiders or three
catchers and one extra infielder?
I can 't answer that right now.
Q~What about the batting
order?
A—Again , we 'll find some
answers down here. At the moment , . I' m. thinking of Redus,
Thompson/ Samuel , Wilson or

Schmidt. H3c> . catcher szi
Foley. Thai may change.
Q-VSlih the changes, do >ou
now reel you can overtake the Mets
or Cardinals?
A—Let me put ii mis w^\ . I like
me club better. Look what Jert
Reardon meant to the Expos last
year.
I believe in our bull pen and that
has to be a bi g improvement. The
Mets are toug h. Dwi g ht Gooden is
like our Letry of the past ten years.
He doesn ' t lose it and it hel ps
the team mentally. I personally feel
the Cardinals are going to have a
tough time filling Joaquin Anduiar 's shoes.
If the Cub' s pitchers rebound
from all the injuries, they 'll be better. Pittsburgh will be better. It ' s
a tough division as always.
But you never know. Not too
many peop le gave St. Louis a
chance at this time a year ago.

Hopefully we will be able to return

joined by Mark Gubicza (14-10),
Charlie Liebrandt (17-9), Danny
Jackson (14-12), and Bud Black
(10-15) as probable starters. Dan
Quisenberry will be the stopper
out of the bull pen.
"Quiz " led the American
League with 37 saves in 1985.
George Brett (.335, 30 HR's, 112
RBI's) and Steve Balboni (36
HR' s, 88 RBI's) will provide the
offensive power for the Royals.
Willie Wilson and Lonnie Smith
will once again be the speeddemons on the basepaths.
The big concern in Kansas City
centers around the starting shortstop. Buddy Biancalana (.188) and
Onix Concepcion (.204) are battling for that position .
California made a run at first
place last year but fizzled out late
in the season. The length of the
season may have caught up with
the aging Angels.
The 1986 California lineup will
feature six players who are at least
35 years old. Reggie Jackson, 39
yrs. old, led the team last year with
27 homers and 85 RBI's and will
be California's designated hitter.
The other aging members include second baseman Bobby
Grich ,37; third baseman Doug
DeCinces, 35; and outfielder

Brian Downing, age 35.
The pitching staff has a mix of
veterans and youth. The staff includes John Candelaria (9-7), Ron
Romanick (14-9), and Mike Witt
(15-9). Donnie Moore was the key
to the Angels ' success last year.
Moore had an earned run average
below 2.00 and he had 31 saves.
California needs a big year out
of their veterans in order to take
the West.
Minnesota is the opposite of
California. Many of the Twins'
young players were brought up
through their farm system.
Minnesota will again rely on the
bats of Gary Gaetti (20 HR's, 63
RBI 's), Kent Hrbek (21 HR's, 93
RBI 's), and Tom Brunansky (27
HR's, 90 RBI's) to provide the offensive sparks.
Bert Blyleven (17-16), Frank
Viola (18-14), and Mike Smithson
(15-14) head up the pitching rotation" and Ron Davis will give the
Twins a strong arm in the late
innings.
Minnesota has matured as a
team over the last few seasons and
this could be the year that the
Twins are crowned Western division champs.
Oakland is my favorite to steal
the crown from the Royals.The A's

javelin.
The men 's version of the 4 X

Oakland forecasted to win close AL West race

by Jamie Horlacher
Asst. Sports Editor

We are in the second full week
of baseball and the American
League West is in search of some
respect.
Kansas City 's victory last year
in the World Series has helped this
division earn a little respect but
they are still being overshadowed
by their counterparts in the
American League East.
Over the past ten years, the A.L.
West has been represented twice in
the World Series with the only
championship coming last year on
Kansas City 's seven game comefrom-behind victory over St.
Louis.
Five teams have potential to capture the A.L. West title. Of the remaining two teams, one could surprise a few people while the other
team should repeat as the cellardweller in the division.
Kansas City looks strong in their
hunt to repeat as A.L. West
champs. The strengths of the
Royals remain intact since last
year.
Led by Cy YoungAwardwinner
Brett Saberhagen , the Royals pitching staff is as strong as ever.
, Saberhagen , (20-6, in J985). is

are solid both offensivel y and
defensively.
Their infield includes swiftfielding Alfredo Griffi n and
Carney Lansford. Mike Davis (24
HR's, 82 RBI's) and Gold Glove
winner will patrol the Oakland
outfield .
In addition to Davis, DH Dave
Kingman (30 HR' s, 91 RBI's),
rookie Jose Canesco, and veteran
Dusty Baker will add the offensive
punch that Oakland will need .
Pitching is a question mark in
Oakland . The A's will get help
from Joaquin Andujar (21-12) who
was acquired from St. Louis in the
offseason .
Andujar joins a group of upand-coming pitchers including Tim
Bristas (10-6), Chris Codiroli
(14-14), and Jose Rijo (64). Jay
Howell gives" Oakland a solid
reliever.
The Chicago White Sox are in
a transition period. Their pitching
once threw fear into American
League batters. LaMarr Hoyt and
Britt Burns are both gone and that
leaves a makeshift rotation headed by veteran Tom Seaver (16-11).
Chicago's infield has two standouts in Greg Walker (24 HR's, 92
RBI 's) and A.L. Rookie of the
Year Ozzie Guillen. Other offen-

sive threats include Carlton Fisk
(37 HR's, 107 RBI's) and Ron Kittle (26 HR's).
With a strong output from the
starting pitchers, Chicago could
have a good shot at first place.
Seattle is just a tew years fro m
being a major power in the
American League. Youth is a key
to Seattle 's future success.
Jim Pressley (28 HR's, 84
RBI's), Alvin Davis (18 HR's, 78
RBI's), and Phil Bradley (26 HR's,
88 RBI 's) are a talented threesome
who will make their presence
known.
Matt Young (12-19) and Mike
Moore (17-10) head up the
Mariners ' pitching staff. If all the
pieces fall together, Seattle could
surprise and make a run for the
A.L. West title this year.
Once again look for Texas to
bring up the rear. Bright spots for
the Rangers will be Oddibe
McDowell , veteran Toby Harrah,
and Pete O'Brien (22 HR's, 92
RBI 's). Otherwise 1986 will be
disappointing for Texas.

. In a tight down-to-the-wire race,
look for:
l)Oakland; 2)Kansas City;
3)Minnesota; 4)California;
5)Chicago; 6)Seattle; and
7)Texas.
