Three Bloomsburg University
students were arraigned Wednesday on felony charges of forgery
and summary charges of possessing fictitious drivers ' licenses.
Beth Anne Abraham , 20, John
Paul Paccio , 20, and Joy Ann
Rei gel , 20, were all released on
their own recognizance.
Ten years in prison and/or a
$25,000 fine for ihe felony and up
to a $300 fine and/or 90 days in jail
for the summary offense is the
maximum penally eaeh faces if
convicted.
Ptlm. Charles Coffman said a
local tavern owner turned in the
licenses. Some students do not approve of the take licenses and they
have alerted tavern owners .
"There i.s cooperation from other
students who don 't agree with this
type of activity , " Coffman said .
Police are investigating the
possibility of severa l operations
in
making
the
licenses
Bloomsburg. "There were
definitely licenses made in
Bloomsburg . We know of one
operation that is here in town and
a possible second operation ," said
Coffman. "The investi gation
could be going pn for months ."
The preliminary hearing for the
students will be held at 11 a.m.,
Thursday, April 24, before District
Justice Donna Coombe.
Student Life will begin steps this
week to take disciplinary action ,
said Jerrold Griffis , vice-president
of Student Life.

The fake identification business
was delt a crushing blow last week
when three Bloomsburg University
students were arrested on charges
of forgery and possessing fictitious
drivers ' licenses.
The thre e students , Beth Anne
Abraham. John Paul Paccio. and
Joy Ann Rei gel. all 20. now face
a maximum penalty of 10 years in
prison and/or a $25,000 fine for
the forgery and additional
penalties for summary charges.
The arrests also have local
taverns , and beer and li quor stores
on the lookout for bogus identifications
to hel p protect
the nisei ves.
An ex-license forger at Penn
State said , how ever, the bogus
license business can be a profitable
one if "unlike the peop le in
Bloomsburg . you don ' t get
caught. "
According to „the Penn State
junior , licenses are forged at an
average price of $15 a piece at State
College. "I had been in the
business for about two years , and
had been fixing about 15-20

' 7 knew the penalties
were tough, but I thought
they were just scare tactics, " he said. "It was
these scare tactics that
forced me out of the
business, '' he added.

"I knew the penalties were
tough, but I thought they were just
scare tactics," he said. "It was
these scare tactics that forced me
out of the business," he added.

If friends of his got caught with
a fake license forged by him , they
most likely would not mention his
name , he said. "What worried me
was strangers , complete strangers,
were coming up to me and asking
me to fix their licenses ," he said .
"They would mention my name to
the cops in a second if they were,
arrested ," he added.
In Bloomsburg , another .exlicense forger was making $5 a
license until he was forced to stop
when he ran into similar problems.
"Strangers were coming up to
me asking to fix their licenses,"
the BU junior said . "I didn 't mind
fixing licenses for my friends , but
my name got too well known ," he
added.

"Later I used rub-off letters, they
worked the best," he added.

•

He explained he fixed licenses
mainly to get himself and friends
into night clubs. ' After a while our
faces became familiar to the people, and we didn 't get carded ," he
said.

Many times bars should
have been able to tell the
license was forged the
Penn State student said ,
"but it seems as long as
you show some places
any identifications they
let you in.

The BU student exp lained he
fixed licenses with a lettering set
that matched the lettering on a
license.

Bloomsburg Police Chief Larry
Smith said another attempt at fake
identification is duplicate license
fraud.

"I re-lettered the entire license,
and covered the lettering that
showed throug h with baby
powder," he said. "Then I
laminated the whole thing so it
could not be scratched off ," he
added .

"Peop le who were already 21
years of age would send away for
a new license, and an underage
person would get his or her picture
taken with the 21 year olds information ," Smith said. He added
once a fraud is found his department makes a check on the license.

According to the Penn State
junior, he learned as he went. "As
they say, 'Practice makes perfect ',"

Changed tour plans f i nds BU without rock concert
by Charlene Milazzo
for the Voice

A change in Mr. Mister 's touring plans will result in no rock
concert this semester at
Bloomsburg University.
The university 's concert committee attempted to find an affordable replacement, considering
Chaka Kahn, Robert Palmer, and
comedian Steven Wright.
However, the committee said it
believed these performers would
not bring sufficient sales.

"We didn t think the available
performers in our price range
would sell enough," concert committee stage manager Bob Sullivan
said. He said the committee planned on spending approximately
$25,000, depending on ticket sales
to accomodate a percentage of this
cost.
The idea of presenting professional
comedians was also considered .
"We looked at Robin Williams,
but the committee felt he was too
much money," Sullivan said "We
were also interested in the Second

City Comedy Troup, but they
weren't available."
Community
Government
Association presented the concert
committee with $18,600 for the
1985-86 year. The huge success of
the fall Hooters concert used approximately $3,100. The remaining
$15,500 will be returned to CGA.
"No money will be carried over
next year and we'll still get
$18,600," concert committee
Chairman
Dan Gallagher
explained.
The concert committee is a sub-

sidized organization of CGA. It
began in the early 1970s when
Dean of Student Development Dr.
John Mulka , then director of Student Activities, appointed Dr. John
Trathen to the position of assistant
director. Trathen now holds the
director position. Previously, the
Big Name Entertainment Committee was responsible for bringing
entertainment to the university.
Selection of committee members
occurs at the beginning of each fall
semester. Applications are submitted, pre-screened, and approx. ', (continued on page 2)

"Whe n we get what we feel is
a fake identification, we shut the
door behind them," said the owner
of a local beer distributor. "We
don 't force them to stay inside, but
we advise them to," he said.
' 'Most people don 't want to get into more trouble than they are
already in ," he added .
Scott Sidler, a clerk at the State
Liquor Store, Bloomsburg, said
the store checks the identification
of people who they feel are not of
age. "When we see what we feel
is a fake identification , we try to
confiscate it , he added.

Journalist-in-residence
presents issues of libel
by Lynne Ernst

AT&T vice-president designated
principa l speaker at graduation
by Rebecca L. Solsman
for the Voice

Bloomsburg University hosted
Jane Shoemaker , of the
Philadelp hia Inquirer, as its
eleventh journalist-in-residence ,
April 14-17. She visited various
classes speaking on the challenges
of writing, journalism ethics and
war reporting. She also discussed
the growing threat of libel at a
forum held Wednesday in
McCormick.
The room was packed with
faculty, students, lawyers and journalists..Before Shoemaker spoke,
Dr. Walter Brasch, professor at BU
and coordinator of Shoemaker 's
stay on campus, filled the audience
in on Shoemaker 's background.
She graduated from Penn State
University and was - a former
employee of United Press International (UPI). She then became a
business reporter for the
Philadelp hia Inquirer and later
moved into fo re ign correspondence in London.
, Presently, Shoemaker is assistant to the executive editor at the
Philadelp hia Inquirer. President
Ausprich presented Shoemaker
with a certificate for her outstanding career in journalism .
Shoemaker began her lecture by
asking the audience how many had
ever gotten really angry about
something. How many have ever

complained to a clerk , teacher, or
ever sent a letter to the editor?
Shoemaker said , "If y_ ui have,
hold onto your wallets, you 've
entered the great world of libel. "
Shoemaker explained that there
is a growing number of "nonmedia" libel cases. These are libel
cases which concern citizens , and
they are increasing rapidly in
Pennsylvania. She informed the
audience that 14 of 21 recent libel
cases have been against citizens.
"People who write letters to the
editor are targets for law suits,"
she said.
Shoemaker gave examples of recent cases of libel resulting fro m
letters to the editor: a tax payer
who felt the city was spending too
much money and a couple who
claimed their cow had died fro m
toxic waste. On Long Island , the
Police Benevolent Society said it
was going to throw a libel suit at
anyone who complained about the
pol ice. The complaints stopped.
Although most of the cases are
dismissed , "the fact that they 're
being filed is limiting our
freedom ," said Shoemaker.
"Many people get scared and will
no longer speak out. It has even
stopped us (Inquirer) . We've stopped going into areas where we see
the nuisance of a lawsuit."
A recent study by the University of Denver documented 87 suits
against citizens for speaking out in

public on issues like zoning, annexation , health and safety. The
study is finding that people on the
other side, the public officials, are
preventing public political opposition and using libel suits as their
tool.
Shoemaker also discussed the
problem of libel suits among
newspapers. Libel suits are causing newspapers not to question the
people we 've elected , she said.
Much of it is unfair since the first
ammendment gives every citizen
the ri ght to criticize this
government .
"If libel is a concern for
newspapers," she said , "it 's a problem for citizens because you don 't
get the information." Editors are
getting "cold feet." They are forced to weigh the cost of libel. Some
editors will not even print a story
if there is any question of a libel
suit being slapped on them ,
Shoemaker said. Reporters who
get leads are told not to pursue
them.
"What should concern us all ,"
said Shoemaker, "is not the libel
suit , but the silence of it. "
Shoemaker told the audience it is
important for people in opposition
to consider their right of free
speech as something very important. "Peop le shouldn ' t be
passive," she said.

The committee must consider
several factors when planning a
concert , such as availability of performers , cost , opinions of the
students, and availability of a
facility to hold the concert , Haas
Auditorium or Nelson Field
House. Before the concert can be
scheduled , these factors must fit
together.
The committee is presently
working with middle agent, Harris Goldberg from Woodstock,
N .Y. Goldberg works with talent
agencies , giving committee
members prices and available dates
of various performers.
Committee members review lists
of available performers and decide
on a performance democratically.
Then they place their offer jto
Goldberg, who contacts the talent
agency in association with the
selected performers.
The agency places the bid with
the manager of the band . If the
band agrees to perform , a contract
is sent to the concert committee.
If it is accepted by the committee,
it is signed by Trathen, because he
is legally covered as an employee
ofthe state school system. A confirmation by the scheduled performers is then sent to the committee. This process can take from
several weeks to several months.
The concert committee had
hoped to give a concert of equal
success as the fall Hooters concert .
The Program Board, however, will
sponsor an outdoor concert on
May 2. Scheduled performers will
be Hybrid Ice and Tommy Conwell' s Young Rumblers.

Strategic plan ning may result
in major changes for students
by Charlene Milazzao
for the Voice

Bloomsburg University students
can expect some major changes in
the 1990s, including student financing, curriculum , courses, majors ,
and enrollment.
BU is develop ing a strateg ic
plannin g progra m which wil l
outline new planning strateg ies
necessary as the university enters
the new decade. Planning . has
become increasing ly significant to
Bloomsburg, which has practiced
long range planning for many
years.
Strateg ic planning, however, is
new to the university. It attempts
to match environmental factors,
such as economics, demographics ,
and technology, with institutional
factors, such as curriculum , faculty, and finances. "Strategic planning attempts to find the best
match between the two," said Provost and Vice-President for
Academic A ffairs Dr. Larry Jones.
Jones , along with Dr. Robert
Parrish , vice-president for Administration; Dr. Raymond
Babineau , director of Institutional
Planning and School of Education ;
Dr. Anne Wilson , College of Arts
and Sciences: Dr. Howard Kinslinger, College of Business; and Dr.
Nancy Onuschak , College of Professional Studies , consitute the
Strateg ic Issues Group appointed
by BU President Harry Ausprich.
"Strateg ic planning results in
decisions," Jones says, explaining
fi ve strateg ic decisions the Issues
Group will focus on. The first is
defining a clear mission statement ,
which will answer such questions
as, "What is our institution about;
What are we here for?" Jones
said.
.
The second is establishing goals
for the university and the methods
to reach these goals.

The third involves decisions on
clientele , such as male-female
ratio , percentage of minorities ,
quotas of certain majors and financial aid applicants.
The fourth focuses on the programs and services to be offered ;
curriculum , majors and courses.
The final decision looks at the
advantages the universit y has and
those they would like to have over
other competing universities.
Afte r these strateg ic decisions
are made, institutional planning
can beg in. There are fi ve areas of
planning BU will concentrate on.
The first is financial planning,
which includes such areas as
"heating, li ghting, new buildings ,
and faculty," Jones exp lained.
The second area of planning is
facilities. Included in this sector
are sufficient areas to teach classes
and the general up keep of the
campus.
Enrollment planning will focus
on how many students the university would like, how many are
graduating from hi gh school , and
how many plan on attending
college.
Human resource planning considers conferences, travel funds ,
training university employees, and
recruiting.
The last form of planning is
organizational planning. "This
assures the institution is organized to meet all these needs," Jones
said.
Generating the information
necessary to make the strateg ic
decisions and the institutional
plans are three Anal ytical Task
Forces. The forces are made up of
university faculty and staff
members.
One task force will consider the
environmenta l analysis. It will
look for the external opportunities
the university has and the possible
threats the university may face.

This will involve gathering information on financing, economics ,*
technology, and government.
Another force will examine the
personal values and the desired
future directions of the faculty,
sta ff , students and alumni.
The third will evaluate the programs and services offered by BU.
This internal review will examine
the strengths and weaknesses of
the university.
On completion of this information , the Anal ytical Task Forces
will report to the Strateg ic Issues
Group. The Issues Group will then
develop academic plans , concerning departments and programs ,
and support plans, dealing with the
business aspect of the university.
All the institutional plans recommended will identify the priorities
of the institution. "The most important things considered will be'
bud geted first , as budgeting flows
from planning, " Jones said.
The suggestions and final report
of the Strateg ic Issues Group will
be submitted to the university
planning commission and President Ausprich.
The process of strateg ic planning takes 12-24 months. It was implemented after Bloomsburg 's
Planning Commission reviewed
the final report of Dr. Robert
Shirley, president of Southern Colorado Univers ity and well-known
p lanning consultant. Shirley
evaluated BU' s planning process
and conducted a workshop for
faculty and administrators in Fall
1985.
"I believe the work to be done
by the Strategic Issues Group and
the Analytical Task Forces will be
significant in hel ping the university prepare for the 1990s and
beyond ," President Ausprich said.
"I am full y committed to this new
approach to planning. "

Binding drugs may lead to cancer cure
Effective treatments for cancer
may have been found by James
Dabrowiak , a professor of
chemistry at Syracuse.University.
Dabrowiak is using a new
method to determine where drug
molecules—including anti-cancer
drugs-bind to DNA , cellular
material that carries genetic information. "DNA Footprinting " is
the method Dabrowiak is using to
reveal binding pattern s of drugs to
DNA molecules derived from
natural sources.
"Our objective is to determine
how a drug structure influences
where it binds on the DNA ladder," he said. "Then you can
begin to learn how to make new
drugs which will selectively kill
only tumor cells. Footprinting has
blossomed into a new area of
science."
To obtain a "footprint ,"
Dabrowiak and his graduate
students put together small

one round of golf (18 holes) at 16
different cdtfrses throughout Central Pennsylvania. Each course has
generously waived the green fees
for each golfer who presents the
card upon playing. Golf carts may
be required by some courses.

After several days, the radioactive DNA causes a pattern of

The "footprints," which are actually blank spots on the film , indicate where the drugs have attach*;

Conservatives discontent
with 'conservative' views
published in the Voice
9

Dear Editor ,
Over the past severa l months I ,
and quite a few o my colleagues ,
have grown in our discontent with
respect to the articles by Tom
Miller , published in the Voice.
At first , and mostl y in jest , we
would discuss what motivations
could move the Voice to print such
material. After all but dismissing
the consp iracy theories of how the
Voice was just trying to make
ri ghtists look stup id, we came to
the conclusion that may be Mr.
Miller has been the onl y one to offer his point of view on a regular
basis.
Secondly, it distressed us to
think .hat many peop le have gotten the wrong perception of
Classic Liberalism , via Mr Miller
and others. We have found that the
bulk of Mr. Miller 's writings not
only fail to represent our opinions ,
but the overwhelming majority of
conservatives on this campus as
well.
We firm ly believe that conser-

vative/liberalism is a viable ,
logical and academically sound approach to answering and managing
the many problems of today 's
world. We are not a bunch of coldhearted , narrowminded , power
hungry, reactionists ; as some have
been led to believe.
Within the ranks of those whom
I have called my " "colleagues ", the
areas of economics, politcal
science, philosop hy /theology.
military, finance, business, and the
like, are well represented. Thus,
from this day forward , we plan to
keep a close eye on the writings of
Mr. Miller , and the rest of the
Voice.
We shall not hesitate to respond ,
correct , or clarif y any area , fro m
the perspective of modern conservatism. We also p lan to submit
regular articles on contempora ry
issues, and more than welcome
any, and all , responses.

question: If a member of the
university community (including
visitors) experiences an emergency, and there is a nurse or physician on campus, shouldn 't the
university provide for immediate
care?
I also wonder about the belief
that the student health center is
funded entirely by student funds.
First , the health center director is
paid from the Commonwealth
funds; her full-time job is a faculty position , and the health center
is just part of her responsibilities.
Second , the health center takes up
a chunk of an academic building
(McCormick) which , I believe,
was paid for by ALL the taxpayers,

not just students.
If , in fact , ONLY student
moneys fund the health center,
then it seems appropriate that the
health center should be in a student
(i.e., Kehr) building, or pay rent
to the Commonwealth , or (a much
better idea) in exchange for taking
a rent-free chunk of an academic
building and having some of its
staff paid for by Commonwealth
funds , perhaps the center could
take care of the ENTIRE university community at times when it
would be medicall y-advisable to be
treated on-campus rather than
off-campus.

Student denies remarks

Dear Editor,
I would like to bring to your
notice that the remarks printed in
the Voice on A pril 17 quoting my
name are absolutely baseless.
I did not give such statements.
I have no knowledge of politics nor
am I ' interested in giving

statements of a political nature.
I am a peace-loving person and
I hate terrorists and terrorism. I
have all the love and respect for the
United States of America where I
am getting my education.

An American tradition: the Louisville Slugger
by George F. Will
Syndicated Columnist

Louisville—I don 't want to wax
mystical and metaphysical about
this , but...
Stop. I want to wax. If an
American boy can 't get all wprked
up about a genuine "powerized "
Louisville Slugger baseball bat ,
what use is the First Amendment 's
guarantee of the fre e exercise of
reli gion?
When Thomas Aquinas was ginning up proofs of God's existence ,
he neglected to mention the ash
tree. It is the source of the
Louisville Slugger, and hence is
conclusive evidence that a kindl y
Mind superintends the universe.
The Big Bang got the universe
rolling and produced among the
celestial clutter one planet . Earth ,
enveloped in an atmosphere that
causes rain to patter on Pennsylvania ridgetops where ash trees
grow.

They grow surrounded by other
trees that protect the ash trees from
wind-twisting and force them to
grow stra i ght toward the sunli ght.
The result is wood with the perfect
strength required for the musical
"crack!" that is the sound the
cosmos make each spring when it
clears its throat and says, "We
made it. "
k Tis spring and a young man 's
fancy li ghtl y turns to thoug hts
of...well , to that , too, but also to
baseball and its instruments.
Baseballs are made in Haiti and
many gloves are made in the
Orient , but the bats that put people on the path to Cooperstown are
made, one at a time, where you
would expect , in mid-America.
Wood lathes at Hillerich &
Bradsby 's "Slugger Park" plant
take just eight seconds to make a
bat for the masses. But craftsmen-the junior member of the work
force has 17 years seniority-take
longer to make bats for artists like

Student nurse wants cap a
mandatory part of uniform
Dear Editor,
The upperclassmen of the Nursing Program at Bloomsburg
University are try ing to have a part
of their required uniform
abolished-the nurse 's cap.
As a student nurse myself , I see
the cap as a vital , necessary and
very important part of every student 's uniform. After graduation
a nurse can make her own decision
to wear the cap or not, but as a student it should be required . The cap
is part of so much tradition of nursing , passed down over the years :
the white uniforms, the white
shoes, the white stockings, etc.
Without it the uniform looks unfinished and incomplete, like someone missing one of her shoes.
At most hospital settings today,
very few wear their caps, but that
doesn 't make it right. An outsider
finds it hard to distinguish between
the R.N., the L.P.N., and the
nurses aid as all are required to
wear white.
In the course of our training as
nurses, we are taug ht the basics of
cleanliness and how not to transfer
bacteria from one client to the
next.
So what does one see in the
hospital setting? Nurses, caring for
sick people, with their hair covering their faces so I can hardly see
their eyes. And others whose hair
is so long it touches the client 's
faces, bed sheets, and food trays,
just to mention a few.
I can see the reluctance though ,
of some to wear this cap. I mean ,

how can anything have any
significance if it is delivered to us
in a flimsy plastic bag, without instructions on how to put it
together?
What I propose is this: in the
senior year of the program , there
is a formal "pinning ceremony "
why not then a formal "capping
ceremony?" The cap would not be
given lightly. After completing one
semeste r of Nursing II , a
ceremony could be held at the
beginning of the Junior year.
Thus , it would be a sign of
achievement , something not easily attained , but rather something
to work for.
Then , just possibly, each and
every student nurse would wear it
proudly, instead of being so quick
to find a way to get rid of it.
I am hoping that whoever
decides such matters, seriously
considers the possible ramifications if this petition is granted . I
am afraid of the possibilities of any
future petitions-maybe for the
whole, entire uniform.

Ted Williams once returned a

do it for the prestige.

They roust have been relieved
when Orlando Cepeda retired . He
used to discard a bat after getting
a hit. His reasoning (in which I
find no flaw) was that there are only so many hits in a bat; you can
not tell how many there in a bat;
and he did not want to risk using
a bat from which all the hits had
been taken. (My father, although

The Voice:a $15,252 toy
for j ournalism majors
by Tom Miller

Editorial Columnist
.

I am going to vary from my policy of not commenting on parochial
university issues to make a few remarks about this college paper of ours.
Is it absolutely necessary to print every bit of CAS propaganda they
can churn out? This semester, CAS press releases have been the lead
story on the front page no less than three times. On Feb. 20, CAS "Took
a stand " on the front page against Gramm-Rudman-Hollings. They did
it again on March 13. And yet again on March 17. 1 think we all know
where they stand.
In spite of the fact that these articles are notoriously inaccurate
(the author of them admitted to me that she has never read the GrammRudman-Hollings amendment and really doesn 't know anything about
it) they belong not on the front page disguised as news stories but a)on
the Op-Ed page as letters to the editor, b)on the editorial page clearl y
marked as editorials , or, c)in paid advertising. .
The editorial staff of the Voice is apparently so devoid of imagination or opinions of their own that four times in March the lead editorial
has been lifted from another paper. Three times they were written by
the president of the teacher 's union. This in itself is improper. Even
the New York Times, not known for its editorial probity, requires Al
Shanker of the American Federation of Teachers to pay for the insertion of his weekly diatribe against academic excellence.
The technical quality of the Voice would be substandard even for
a self-respecting junior hi gh school newspaper. My column , for example , has yet to appear without typesetting errors .
When the staff does rouse itself to produce an editorial of its own
the result is something unintelli g ible like the one of Mar. 17 (or Jan.
27, that issue is dated both ways): "Community Activities fee: more
worth it than not. " Go back and read this now classic example of collegiate sub-literacy if you missed it.
And the Voice shortcomings are by no means limited to the editorial
pages. The "Features" section can be relied upon to provide a steady
diet of bland , unreadable , recycled journalism class assignments.
The "News" consists primaril y of press release rewrites and an
embarrassing ly slavish devotion to the official university version of
things. Information not contained in university press releases is
"unavailable. "
Unsi gned letters to the editor, a sure sign of mindless , irresponsible
drivel , are the rule. Aren 't we all tired of "anonymous " letter from
CGA officers praising themselves?
The only part of the paper which is consistently well-written and
of good quality is the sports section.
Any criticism of the Voice sends the staff into a fit and is likel y
to result in a spasm from "the nice guy who finished last " saying that
"to err is human " (to correct typos is divine) and that non-staff members
have no right to criticize. "We: don 't need it ," he said.
Well he is wrong on both points. That they need it is obvious. That
we have a right to criticize is established.
The Voice is a $15,252 a year toy for journalism majors prov ided
through the generosity of their fellow students. The imp licit contract
is: the Voice staff gets the line on their resumes, we are supposed to
get a college newspaper in return.
We have a perfect right to insist on a little integrity and a minimum
standard of quality. And we aren 't getting it.
The last time I criticized the Voice I was told to "run for editor "
if I didn 't like the way the paper was being run. The problem with that
is that personal popularity is the way to run a hen house, not a
newspaper.
Editor 's note: This column was submitted at the end of March. We realize
that we are not above criticism and believe this should be published
in the spirit of freedom of expression. An editorial,reply will be published
in the next issue.

dreadful to win a spring-training
game, because a team is only going to win so many games in a year
and why waste one in Florida?)
The production of real bats here
has declined because of a
monstrous development—the
popularity of aluminum bats.
Hillerich & Bradsby makes such
ersatz Sluggers, but commits that
unnatural act in southern California , a region of novelties and
regrets.
Colleges, those incubators of
heresies, use aluminum bats for a
grotesque reason: They last longer.
But immortality is not a virtue in
things that should not exist at all.
Because metal bats are livelier than
wooden bats , they distort the
game. Scoring soars, 200-minute
games become common and some
teams-yes, teams-have batting
averages over .350. (In 1979, Witchita State batted .384.)
Aluminum bats in the big
leagues would produce every fan's
ultimate nightmare : a blizzard of
asterisks in the record book ,
denoting records set after baseball
became subservient to the science
of metalurgy.
People who will not recognize
tradition as a sufficient argument
should bow to aesthetic as well as
scientific
considerations.
Aluminum hitting horsehide
makes a sound as grating as fingernails scraping a blackboard . If the
sound of the aluminum bat were a
food, it would be lima beans.
Imagine a balmy summer evening, the portable radio on the froit.
porch emitting the soft cicada-like
sizzle of crowd noise. The announcer says: "Here 's the pitch—
the runner is off at the ping of the
bat!" "Ping "? The prosecution
rests .
A. Ray Smith never rests.
Louisville , like renaissance
Florence, is not especiall y large
but is immoderately drenched with
the finest art of its century, which

basebalf A. Ray (to know him for
five minutes is to 'be on a firs t

Oklahoma , where he did well in
Kentucky, giving the community

A. Ray, an ebullient fellow, has
not got the word from the French
philosophers that angst is the right
respose to the 20th century. But it
is hard to get the hang of existential despair when your Triple-A
Louisville Redbirds recently drew
1,062,000 fans, more than five
major-league teams.
A few of those fans probably
were craftsmen from Slugger Park
who came to the ballpark to see
their handiwork put to work. Imagine, working amid ash chips ,
which smell better than bacon in
the morning . It is enoug h to make
a boy wax poetical : I think that I

following is a brief synopsis of
each.

The Return of Martin Guerre
(1983)-Was he or wasn 't he the
same man? The Martin Guerre
who had walked away eight years
earlier was something of a wimp,
a faliure. The Martin Guerre who
returned was self-assured , virile.
His wife accepted the returned
Martin Guerre and so did the
community-until three vagabonds
showed up and called him an imposter. Based on an event that actually happened in the 16th century
French village of Artigat, the film
focuses on the trials that sought to
estalish the truth about the return
of Martin Guerre. The French
director Daniel Vinge has won
much praise for this film. (French
with English subtitles.) Running
time: 111 min.
Woman in the Dunes (1964)-In
this strongly allegorical film ,
Japanese director Hiro shi
Teshigahara explores the selfabsorption and alienation of
modern life. A man collecting
beetles in an area of desolate dunes
seeks shelter for the night and ends
up trapped in a sand pit with a
shabby woman. The two fi ght and
make love and argue about the
dilemma, while struggling each
day to remove the sand that has
fallen into the pit during the night.
The film stars Eiji Okada and
Kyoko Kishida. It was the winner
of the Special Jury Prize at Cannes in 1964. Running time: 123

mm.
Black Orpheus (1959)-A sad
love story set to the intoxicating
samba rhythms of a Rio de Janeiro
carnival by French film director
Marcel Camus. In the classic
legend of Orpheus and Eurydice,
Orpheus loses his true love and
descends to Hades in his efforts to
bring her back from the dead .
Breno Mello, a black , modern-day
Orpheus, meets and falls in love
with Eurydic e (played by
Marpessa Dawn) during the frenzied carnival , but she is stalked
and killed by a mysterious figure
during in a skeleton suit. (Brazilian
Portuguese with English subtitles.)
Running time: 100 min.

BU studentp lanstoieach the deaf
in a special way
by Stephanie A. Slysh
for the Voice

Kathryn Dononvan , known as
Katie to her friends , is a BU junior,
majoring in education and education of the hearing impaired .
When she graduates and begins
teaching hearing impaired elementary students, she will have one
benefit over other teachers.
Donovan is deaf. "If hearing impaired children think they can 't do
something and tell me that I don ' t
understand-I will ," she says.
Donovan
was born
in
Lakewood, Ohio. Her parents
knew something was wrong when
she was nine months old. Donovan
explains , "The doctors first
thought I was autistic but my
parents just knew I wasn't." She
adds, 'After more testing they
found out I was hearing impaired."
The doctors told her parents she
had a very profound hearing loss
and she probably would not be
able to talk. "They had the right
results but the wrong predicitons,"
says Donovan. Her parents were
not protective of her, "I wasn 't going to be treated differently just
because I was deaf ," she
comments.
Donovan 's parents began to look
at oral schools for the hearing impaired and she was enrolled at
Case Western Reserve University
in Cleveland when she was only
one and a-half years old. "M y
teachers had to make me aware of
sounds and that everything had a
name ," says Donovan .When
teaching her "they tried to stress
lips; my teachers would point to a
shoe and say 'this is a shoe,' while
they pointed to their lips." She
stayed at Case Western until she
was four. "My parents were very
determined that I would learn to
talk," she says. She left Case
Western not with a four year old

vocabulary but a limited one.
Donovan received her 'two
behind the ear ' hearing aid at four
years of age. Then she went to
Harrison Oral School for the Deaf.
"I was bad in my class; I was
always disrupting class because I
talked all the time," comments
Donovan.
The school was divided in half ,
one part for deaf children , and the
other part for regular students. It
prepared the deaf children to be
mainstreamed . "Until the fift h
grade , I was slowl y being
mainstreamed , and in the fifth
grade I was in a normal classroom
90 per cent of the time," says
Donovan . "None of the children
treated us differently because they
were always aware of us."
In the sixth grade, she went to
the Hilliard School, and was completely mainstreamed. There were
two or three deaf students in the
school. Because Donovan could
read lips, she sat in front of the
classroom and after the lesson the
teacher would ask her is she
understood everything. "It 's a
good experience for regular
children to learn about deafness ,''
she says.
Donovan explained that deaf
children not only have hearing problems, but speech , language, and
social problems too. She comments, "I used to be very selfconsious and felt sorry for
myself '
At the end of the sixth grade her
father, a lawyer for Conrail , was
transferred to Media , Pa., and she
changed schools. "It was hard at
first to adjust to a new school; I
had a hard time understanding new
teachers," says Donovan.
In -the seventh grade she was
equipped with the "Body Aid ," a
device worn on the upper body
with cords going up to her ears.
"My teachers were good because
there was another hearing impaired student in the class. Some

Events of siblings'
weekend

by Pat Andrews
for the Voice

"Simon Sez " bring your
brothers and sisters to Bloomsburg
this weekend. The Kehr Union
Program Board is holding their annual Siblings Weekend Saturday
April 26- Sunday April 27.
Siblings Weekend is designed to
show off your "second home " to
your brothers and sisters. Special
activities will be held throughout
the weekend designed especially
for your siblings .
Activies scheduled for Saturday
include the Renaissance Jamboree
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; computer
portraits in the Kehr Union from
10 a.m. to 3. p.m..; swimming,

bowling, billards and video games
in the Kehr Union from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m.; AI Grout the Juglar and
Magician will be performing in the
Kehr Union at 3 p.m.; "Simon
Sez " will be played in the Kehr
Union at 7:30 p.m.; and the Muppet Movie at 9 p.m. in Hass
Auditorium.
Activities on Sunday include the
Renaissance Jamboree Criterion
Bike Race at 11 a.m. in downtown
Bloomsburg; the Muppet Movie in
Carver Hall at 12 noon; and bingo
in the Kehr Union at 2 p.m.
Reg istration for Siblings
Weekend is Saturday morning
from 9 to 11 a.m. in the Kehr
Union. All siblings and guests will
receive a special packet, with their
ID . for the weekend and a cou- , ,

of her classmates teased her about
her hearing loss; she was g iven the
name 'Choo Choo ' because
sometimes her hearing aid would
whistle. "I still made friends pretty fast and adjusted to the school,"
she says. In school she played
lacrosse and field hockey. She explains, "I was able to hear the
whistle, that 's why I could play."
After graduation from Penncrest
High School in 1983, Donovan only applied to Bloomsburg University because she heard about the
hearing sevices here. "Most hearing impaired students are accepted
through the Center for Academic
Development (CAD) program so
that they can decide if you are
ready to handle college situations ," says Donovan. However,
Donovan was accepted without applying through CAD.
The CAD office provides her
with note taking paper because "in
college you rely a lot more on
notes than you did in high school."
In classes Donovan must pay full
attention to lectures, "it's physically draining, " she comments.
Unlike other deaf people, she
relies on her ablility to see what
people are saying. "My hearing
supplements my sight ," she
comments.
It was not until a college course
here that Donovan learned sign
language. Her favorite classes are
her communication disord ers
ones.
Unlike most other deaf people,
Donovan can relax and watch TV
and follow the programs. "I can
watch soap operas easily because
they show the actors' mouths." She
adds "On the radio I can hear the
songs but not the talking."
At Bloomsburg she is an active
sister in the Phi Iota Chi sorority.
In the fall she will begin student
teaching in Philadelphia and comments, "I've always wanted to be
a teacher, deaf children are so willing to learn ."

the American air strikes on Monday the 14th.
Fortunate ly we missed him. He
currentl y provides the only actual
experience for our military in the
world. He, though a lightweig ht
compared to the Russians, allows
us to try out the Big Stick that taxpayers hand over oh , so much
money for.
It would be a shame for Khadafy
to die and to lose this nice little war
workshop the Pentagon l oves to
p lay with.
"I love the smell of napalm in
the morning . Smells like...Victory !" is a quote from the movie
Apocalypse Now. Althoug h this is
a bit in the extreme , John Wayne
and his buddies are still alive and
well in the pickup truck and
baseball cap world of America.
Little is left to the imagination ,
though , when a handsome young
man in a uniform , with a solemn
look on his face, walks up your
driveway to tell you that Johnny
will not be coming home anymore.
He went down in a fireball over
Libya.
I have nothing against our actions in the Gulf of Sidra , but why
not simply have Khadafy "terminated with extreme prejudice?"
In the hocus-pocus world of our
intelligence community, it would
seem more than possible to delete

Khadafy like so much wasted
memory taking up space on a disk.
Being traditionalists in America ,
however, we follow the lead of
those who came before us , waiting
while someone is holding our peop le hostage or killing them.
Reagan himself did not step on
Khadafy as soon as the trouble
started , but tried to talk while our
peop le were bleeding. And when
he did act , he did not kill the
criminal responsible.
It would be easier, in the opinion
of a friend of mine, " to nuke
Libya and make it a parking lot."
It would eliminate the parking pro-1

we could even build a shopping
mall there after 25,000 years
Little is to be gained by the wagg ing of tongues, but this has never

Porter was famous for his suggestive and witty lyrics and many

BU student wins poet ry contest

Hey wait a minute , you 're not the professor.
What have you done with Professor Whitman?

The winner of the second annual
University and College Poetry
Prize Contest is Frederick Deets
(writing under the pen-name of
Steed Richman), a Bloomsburg
University graduate student in
secondary education , according to
an announcement by contest coordinator Richard Savage.
A $100 prize will be awarded for
his cycle of poems entitled , "The
Universe Revised " and his name
will be published in the quarterl y
bulletin of The Academy of
American Poets, which the contest
is affiliated.

THE FAR SfiPg

Honorable Mentions were
awarded to Lori Fraind for her
poem "The End of the Tier " and
to Kelly Ann Cuthbert for "The
Barn ." More than 60 poems were
submitted for the contest, although
fewer contestants entered this year
than last.

By GARY LARSON

The University and College
Poetry Prize Contest was

orig inated by The Academy of
American Poets in 1954.
Last yea r Savage, in conjunction
with the Eng lish Department initiated the contest at. Bloomsburg
University. More than 130 colleges
and universities throug hout the
country participate in the program.
"The winning poems show a
strikingly imag inative command of
language," according to Savage,
"and express an unusual vitality
and range of insight. They attempt
to dramatize the private world involved with the public world and
contain some ori g inal and
memorable perspectives on the
contemporary milieu."
Deets began writing poetry
about six years ago and also writes
stories and plays. He received a
B.A. degree from Wilkes College
as a political science major and an
M.A. from BU in comminication

Baseball—

Holmes goes down
one last time?
Just for the record , I had
Holmes beating Spinks by a
point in their Saturday
encounter.
Though the fight wasn't the
greatest thing seen in the ring,
it really wasn't bad, except, of
course, for the usual idiocys put
forth
by
the
HBO
commentators.
They called the fight too
soon, it would appear. Though
it did seem as though Holmes
won the fight , Larry Merchant
and co. were just too cocky
with their predictions.
The fight was tough to call.
Spinks ' split-decision victory
will be debated for a long time,
I feel.
Giving Holmes the first four
rounds hurt Spinks, and it did
not seem like he could come
back. Holmes fought a tough
fight , but he just can't move
around like he could in the old
days.
The Larry Holmes of five
years ago would have dropped
Spinks in the 14th round. The
champ was stumbling around
the ring and was obviously
hurt , but the game challenger
just did not have enough left to
move in for the kill.
Whether or not Spinks will
keep the title is hard to determine. The man can box, but he
has no power and never really
hurt Holmes throughout the
fight.
Holmes tagged Spinks
several times and it seemed like
a sure thing that he was going
down in the 14th.
Also, Spinks really looked
like he knew something was
wrong in the 15th.
He came out chopping away
at Holmes, as if he was going
to knock him out , as if he had
to knock him out.
The look on Holmes' face
when they announced the decision was the look of a man who
had enough. A brief laugh and
a smile came from Holmes'
face, and he just turned and
walked away.
No hoopla , no jumping up
and down and stamping his
feet, only a brief grin from a
former great who added
another chapter to the series of
beaten champs who hung
around too long.
Holmes got greedy. If he
would have stepped down after
the first loss, he could have saved face. But the second loss
takes Holmes out of the company of greats and into the company of rusty heroes.
In the meantime, Spinks has

some prov ing to do. He has to
fight the other heavyweight
champs to gain credibility.
Being IBF champ is no big
deal. The belt was created for
Larry Holmes, and he's gone,
so the title must be either
legitametely defended or done
away with .
It would be nice to have a
unification of titles at last.
And finally, I will not debate
the decision handed down by
the Vegasjudges. Addmittedly,
I was a little shocked. But they
have been in the business longer
than I, and I respect their decision. Like I said , a tough one
to call.
And now for the sports
mailbag:
Dear Editor:
Lacrosse at Bloomsburg is a
relativel y unknown sport.
Many students don't know
anything about it, many have
never even seen a game.
People often ask how it's
played. I tell them it's fastmoving, fun , exciting and like
no other sport around. But this
explanation of lacrosse doesn 't
present the whole picture.
I could tell them it's a "game
in which two 11-member teams
attempt to send a small ball into each others netted goal, each
player being equipped with a
stick (crosse) at the end of
which is a netted pocket for catching, carrying, or throwing the
ball ," but that could be looked
up in a dictionary.
So, the best response I can
give to those interested is to
come out and see the lacrosse
team in action. Watching a
game is the best way to get a
good idea of what lacrosse is all
about.
And, if you come to see the
game , you won't be
disappointed .
This year's team is building
stability, gaining success, and
working it's way to the top. The
starting lineup includes seven
returnees, and the rest of the
lineup consists of freshman .
Joy Glassmyer and Denise
Yergey, seniors, are the returning captains back to lead the
team on to victory. They guide
the team through their valuable
experience and support for
other team members.
Joy and Denise are usually
either offering instruction, getting the team psyched, or just
cracking jokes. "Wo-nellie!"
exclaims Joy, "We're really the
'• deal."*. '* ' . -.W. v.. *. v. *- •¦ v

With Bloomsburg lacrosse,
team spirit is the deal. The team
is very unified.
Sharon O'Keefe, the head
coach, is very involved in
strengthening the team-she's
just as psyched about the season
as everyone else.
Associate Athletic Director
Joanne McComb recentl y
wrote a letter to Miss O' Keefe
in which she congratulated her
for the recent lacrosse successes. Other lacrosse coaches
know that this year,
Bloomsburg is to be taken
seriously.
The team now has the respect
of opposing teams who know
they face good competition
from Bloomsburg.
The team's progress should
also be noted. This year, there
is an extremely good chance
that the girls will be going to
PSAC's on May 2 and May 3.
BU's record in the western
half of their division is 2-0.
Their overall record is 2-2. BU
beat Shippensburg and Slippery
Rock, which are ranked fourth
and fifth respectively in Division II.
The final score against Slippery Rock was 14-12, while the
Huskies won 16-14 at Shippensburg. The victories were a
result of good team passing and
good midfield connections.
Cindy Daeche leads the team
in interceptions and Betsy
Warmerdam is not far behind
her. Teri Horstmann, the starting goalie, has had 108 shots
fired at her and has saved 54.
Offensively, the scoring is
pretty spread out. Kelly
Cuthbert and Deb Fraga are the
leading scorers with 16 and 11
goals respectively.
Bloomsburg's final home
game is against Gettysburg on
Thursday, May 1 at 3 p.m. And
if BU beats Lock Haven Thursday the team will be going to
states.
So let's go Bloomsburg! Support your sports teams!
You've seen baseball and
softball all your life and that's
great. But come out and watch
something different and exciting for a change!
Catch the Bloomsburg
women's lacrosse team in action this season!

same manner for the second run.
Steve Clemens followed by lacing a two-run single to give the
Huskies a 4-0 advantage.
BU added three more runs in the
second on a sacrifice fly by Bill
Adams, an RBI single by Karchner, and a run-scoring single by
Mike Bonshak.
Kutztown scored one run in the
fourth on two walks and a Jeff
Miller double, and exploded for
seven more in the fifth to take the
lead.
A two out homer by Mike
Tarkanish got things started for
Kutztown, and four more Bear hits
culminating with a two run home
run to put BU down 8-7.
CLASSIFIEDS

However, the Huskies showed
poise by coming back and scoring
four runs on only two hits.
Kirkpatrick got on after an error by the shortstop, and Salamy
doubled to send Kirkpatrick to
third. A walk issued to Scott
Michael loaded the bases for BU.
Again , Adams received a walk
to score a run , and Karchner socked a two run double to give the
Huskies an 10-8 advantage.
A sacrifice fly by Nicodem accounted for the final tally.
"We can never have enough
runs," Husky coach John Babb
said. "We didn't play like penant
contenders."
The Huskies wil next travel to
Millersville today and to Scranton
Thursday.

Bloomsburg 's men and women
track teams ventured to Penn State
on Saturday to partici pate in the
15th Annual Nittany Lion Relay.
Coach Ron Puhl said BU had
several outstanding performers
amidst an injury-ridden , problemplagued squad .
Puhl said that injured sprinters
and organizational problems have
hindered the teams goal for success throughout the season . "Yet
at the moment more men and
women for the Huskies have attained state meet potential than in
1985", Puhl added .
Standouts for the Huskies at
Penn State included the women 's
400 m relay team. They (Noele

The Bloomsburg University
baseball team was plagued by a
weekend of bad fielding and inconsistent pitching as it split a
doubleheader with Ku tztown and
dropped a game to East
Stroudsburg over the weekend .
The first game of yestrday 's
doubleheader
with
East
Stroudsburg was an offensive war
with the Huskies finally coming up
short 11-10.
East Stroudsburg tallied two
runs in the top of the eighth inning without the benefit of any hits.
A two out sacrifice fly spelled
doom for the Huskies.
East Stroudsburg took command
early in the game with a two run
first inning.
• A walk, a single, and another '
single after a wild pitch did the
trick for the Warriors.
A two run homer by Markham
put East Stroudsburg up by four,
but the Huskies struck back in the
bottom of that inning.
A single by Crane followed by
a double by Bill Salamy got things
going for BU. Consecutive singles
by Scott Michael , Bill Adams and
Matt Karchner pulled BU within

run gave Bloomsburg a 6-4 lead.
East Stroudsburg jumped right
back in the lead in the top of the
fourth with four runs to go on top
8-4.
BU got within one on an RBI
double by Bill Adams in the bottom half of the inning, 8-7.
The Huskies assumed a shortlived lead in the sixth when bases
loaded walks to Bill Adams and
Rob Kirkpatrick gave BU two runs
and the lead 9-8.
Three
consecutive ' East
Stroudsburg hits gave the visitors
a tie to send the game into extra
innings.
The second game of the twinbill
was interrupted due to darkness
and will be resumed at a later date.
The game was tied at five, but
the Huskies could have easily
scored a victory had it not been for
a two run fifth inning by East
Stroudsburg.
The Huskies got on the board
early with three runs in the first
and two in the second inning, but
could not hang on.
In Saturday 's action, a late
Bloomsburg rally fell short in the
first game of the doubleheader.
Visiting Kutztown went ahead

ning runs. Brent Tomasko
delivered a two out home run to
put the Huskies in the hole.
