Bank president condemns
letter as 'blatant marketing'

by Don Chomiak
Sludcnl at Large

A Bloomsburg bank president
said Friday that a marketing
device used by another bank on
the students of Bloomsburg
Univ ersity was "one of the most
blatant marketing pieces we have
seen. "
Edward J. Heal y Jr., president
of the Bloomsburg Bank Columbia Trust (BBCT), was commenting on a solicitation letter mailed to the students of Bloomsburg
University(BU).
The letter was included in
envelopes containing the billing
statements from the Community
Activities Office.
Written by an official of the
Commonwealth Bank and Trust
Company and mailed in June
from the university , the letter
concerned the availability of a
new branch office of Commonwealth Bank , recently installed in the University Store at BU.
"We sent the letter to students
to make sure they knew about the
branch bank. " said Dr. John

Trathen , director of student activities and the Kehr Union.
Trathen added the Community
Activities Office saw no problem
in sending the letter with the billing statement.
"We are not aware of there being anything wrong with sending
the letter , " Trathen said. He added if they knew of anything , they
would not have sent it.
David A. Hill , comptroller for
the Community Activities Office
and the Kehr Union , said , "The
letters were part of the agreement
with the bank for the installation
of the branch bank and M.A.C.
machine on campus. "
Asked if other banks in
Bloomsburg were offered a
chance to send a solicitation letter . Hill said , "No , because they
are not opening a branch office
on campus. " He added that bids
were sent out to all of the local
banks. Commonwealth Bank was
the onl y one interested.
Hill also said that a listing of
all local banks , their services and
costs is published by the university and is available at registra-

tion or at the information desk in
the Kehr Union Building.
Steven B. Barth , corporate
b a n k i n g officer for Commonwealth Bank and author of
the letter , declined to comment.
Heal y said the letter suggests
"that it is a student 's 'important
personal duty* to immediatel y
drop any relationshi p with
another bank in favor of their
relativel y sub-standard offerings. " He added it will have no
effect on the relationshi p between
the BBCT and the college
community .
The phrase labeling the Commonwealth Bank's policies 'substandard offerings ' r?fers to the
passage in the letter vv ,\ich states
for a regular savings account , "A
$50 initial deposit is required , "
and that a student can "make up
to three withdrawals or transfers
per month without charge , and
$.50 per transaction thereafter. "
Heal y added , "The BBCT has
served that(college) constituency
for many years " and not as
"special risks. "

You can 't tell, but the one on the left is pink. Frank Michaels and Lynda Fedor hold a new found friend.

Shep herd letter clears Robertson
by Robert Shogan

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-Television
evangelist Pat Robertson released a letter from retired Marine
Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Thursday saying that Shepherd "has no
recollection " of any special request made to hel p Robertson
avoid combat when he was a
Marine second lieutenant during
the Korean War.
Shepherd , who was commanding general of the Marine force
in the Pacifi c at the time , was
responding to a letter from
Robertson asking for hel p in
rebutting published allegations
that Robertson had used the influence of his father, the late Sen.
A. Willis Robertson , to avoid
combat. Those charges have stirred a controversy about Robertson ' s background as he is
soliciting support for a race for
the Republican presidentia l
nomination.
Althoug h Shepherd , now 90 ,
denied in the letter that influence

had been used to keep Robertson
out of combat , he did not shed
any li ght on the question of
whether Robertson actuall y served in combat , as he publicl y
claims. Department of Defense
officials have said that Robertson 's military record s reflect his
duty in Korea but do not show actual combat service.
Shepherd 's letter was released
to the Los Angeles Times by
Americans for Robertson , the
evangelist 's exp loratory campaign organization , in response to
Los Angeles Times stories that
reported that serveral of Robertson 's Marines colleagues believed he had used political influence
in 195 1 to keep off the front lines.
One of the former servicemen ,
John Gearhart , a Los Angeles
manufacture r 's representative ,
told the Los Angeles Times that
he was with Robertson when
Robertson called his parents fro m
a military post in Japan shortl y
before they were to be shipped to
Korea. Subsequentl y, he said ,
they wre reassigned to duty in

Japan , and he thought that
Robertson 's father had intervened on his behalf. Another former
Marine , Rep. Paul N. "Pete "
McCloskey Jr. , R-Calif. , said
that Robertson spoke frankl y
about asking his father to help
keep him out of combat.
The charges about the use of
influence were first aired earlier
this month in a syndicated column
by Rowland Evans and Robert
Novak that quoted from a letter
by McClosey about Robertson ' s
service career.
Robertson , in his Sept. 6 letter
fo Shepherd , said , "The attack ...
is obviously a slander against the
United States Marine Corps ,
against my distinguished father ,
A. Willis Robertson , and against
me. "
In his reply of Sept. 11 ,
Shepherd confirmed that Robertson ' s first assignment in the Far
East was to a rehabilitation center
at Camp Otsu , Japan , an assignment that Shepherd characterized as not unusual.

Drug testing: a q uestio n
of p rivacy and accuracy
Editorial

Much attention has been placed on drug testing recently. To
some, testing is the onl y way to
insure compentcncy and to others
it is a violation of privacy.
Questions arise as to who
should be tested , when testing
should occur and whether or not
testing should be voluntary or
involuntary .
In the Sept. 29 issue of
Newsweek , California drugp r e v e n t i o n consultant Ted
Schramm questions what will
come from the test results .
"There 's an incredible amount ol
recreational drug use. What
makes us think that by anal yzing
somebody 's urine we ' re going to
change the culture? " he asks.
Althoug h there seems to be no
clear direction to take when it
comes to the test results , there is
a definite growth in the anal ysis
end of the drug testing surge. And
with that comes the question of
reliability and accuracy.
Accord ins? to the Newsweek article , used correctly , urinalysis
can reliabl y i d e n t i f y trace
elements of specifi c narcotics.
But used carelessl y , urinal ysis
can produce false results—both
positively and negatively .

One widel y used screening test
can produce a positive finding for
marijuana when the urine samp le
contains ibuprofen , which is the
advertised anti-flammatory ingre dient in pain relievers such as Advil and Nuprin.
It is also theoreticall y possible
that someone who is tested after
drinking a g in and tonic can be
identified as a heroin - addict. This
being that quinine , a main ingredient in the tonic water used for
the drink , is also used to cut
heroin. For toxiolog ists . quinine
is an indicator of heroin use.
These examp les prove the fact
that the reliabilit y and validity ol
any drug test depends heavil y on
the skill and knowledge of the
technician who interprets it.
According to Newsweek .
Richard Hawks , chief of researc h
technology at the National Institute of Drug Abuse , is very
concerned thai there should be
controls on the validity and accuracy of the tests that are being
made. "This is a powerfu l
technolog ical device for drug
prevention , but it has to be used
correctl y. If it is not—if a lot ol
error creeps in — then t h e
[urinalysis! method will net a bad

name tor itself very quickl y. "
Now , not onl y are there questions as to the constitutionality of
the drug tests themselves , the
question of accurate results also
comes into play .
Some drugs stay in a person ' s
system longer than others-if this
is the case , is it fair to punish a
person for not passing a drug test
wncn the indicated drugs could be
from a few weeks prior to the
test? And it seems extremel y unfair to punish someone who
"fails " a drug test because of an
analvsis mistake.
The theory of drug testing in
itself is good, but there are too
many questions and problems to
be answered and solved before a
mass drug test takes place.
With all this attention on drug
testing. Joe Pugnatti , a senior
elementary education major ,
wrote a survey to gather the attitudes on drug testin g on
Bloomsburg University 's campus. All respones are anonymous
and the survey results will be run
in The Voice next week. The
survey will be run again in the
October 2 issue of The Voice.
See the survey on page 3.

Senate should use time more wisely
The senate has a full plate and
only two weeks left to comp lete
leg islative business before final
adjournment.
Members are under great
pressure to produce a drug bill in
response to House passage of a
narcotics control measure and an
administration initiative along the
same lines.
Debate could begin at any time,
but as late as Thursday evening,
senators did not yet have written
cop ies of the actual bill that will
be considered. Moreover , a
number of senators have announced intentions to load up the
bill with amendments of dubious
wisdom and constitutionality on
the theory that in this atmosphere
if a proposal is labeled "antidrug " it will fl y.
Serious leg islators know ,
however, that the only way narcotics leg islation will get throug h
the Senate in this period is if these
controversial amendments are put

To the Editor

aside or considered separatel y. A
fi ght on cap ital punishment , for
examp le , would provoke a
filibuster that could hamstring the
leaders ' ability to move any bill
in time for the Senate to complete
other work and go home by
mid-October.
And cap ital punishment is nol
the onl y stumbling block. Some
senators want to use this bill to
weaken the exclusionary rule ,
restrict the right to file habeas
corpus p e t i t i o n s , l i m i t the
Freedom of Information Act and
require mandatory drug testing in
a wide range of occupations both
public and private.
Every one of these amendments will be—and should be—
foug ht tooth and nail. Not one of
them is a necessary component of
a strong and effective narcotics
program.
There is much to be debated in
any drug bill without even considering tangential amendments .

How much should be sent in the
fight on illegal drugs? Where will
the money come from? Which
programs have worked in the past
and which—like long mandatory
prison sentences—have been tried
and failed? How much should the
federal government help the states
with basic law enforcement?
Would a reorganized federal
bureaucracy do a better job? And
what are the forei gn policy
ramifications of various sanctions
against producer countries?
The House spent only two day s
discussing the exclusionary rule
and death penalty . The Senate
should use its limited time to
discuss the details of a sensible
narcotics control program and
leave important civil liberties
questions for debate under less
frenzied conditions.

editorial appeared in the Sept. 25

Misunderstanding was honest
Dear Editor.
Out of fairness to President
Ausprich , I would like to reply to
your editorial of September 25.
In his first year as president.
Ausprich worked tirelessl y with
various constituencies on behalf
of the university.
Much of our success in attracting significant gifts to the university can be directl y attributed to
his leadershi p and the relation-

shi ps he has initiated and/or
nurtured.
The Alumni Association was
quite p leased when Ausprich
volunteered to devote a day or
more of his 1 8-day vacation in
with
Florida
to m e e t i n g
Bloomsburg University alumni
who live there .
The misunderstanding over
what out-of-pocket expenses
would be reimbursed by the

Alumni Association was just that-an honest misunderstandin g
which was quickl y clarified.
From time to time , we are all
confronted by misunderstanding
in our personal and professional
lives in this not-so-perfect world
in which we live. To exploit these
misunderstandings and make an
issue of them is a disservice to
peop le who work very hard to
resolve them in a constructive
way.

To the editor .
As a student who works in the
library, I see all too well the need
for a new facility.
There have been many times
when we must shift material from
shelf to shelf to make room for
incoming materials such as
books , microfilm , microfiche,
current periodicals , and other
publications.

A library must meet the needs
and
of students , faculty
townspeop le. If it runs out ot
room and is not able to keep up
with present and current information then it has failed.
Within a coup le of years there
will be no more room for such inis
E x p an s i o n
formation.
necessary and very needed.

HEAL!

You ean 't argu e with su ccess
by George Will

Editorial Columnist

WASHINGTON-If Congress '
disposition is surl y , thai is
because its situation is embarrassing. Congress is being praised for
a tax-reform bill the contents ol
which are as mysterious as
Mongolia to many members who
are p r i m a r i l y interested in
something they would rather not
talk about, thank you: "transition
rules. "
Regarding deficit reduction ,
members full y understand that the
cooked books and other dod ges
by which they are comply ing with
the Gramin-Rudman law would
get peop le in the private sector
sent to prison.
What is going on? Selfindul gence, on a stupendous
scale. But what Congress is doing in domestic policy is
analagous to what the executive
branch has done in the Daniloff
a ffair. The common thread running throug h recent actions is the
purchase, of immediate satisfaction by spending princip les and
mortgag ing the future .
Secretary Shultz says: "I was
amazed at the outcry over making arrangements to get Mr.
Daniloff out of a 6-by-10cell into a more congenial environment
while this was being strugg led
with. "
Amazed? The administration
vowed that there would no swap,
no linkage of the Daniloff case
and that of the accused spy
Zakharo v , no acceptance of the
equivalent as the men were
simultaneousl y placed in the
custod y of their governments "
officials.
It was self-indul gent of the administration to set a dangerous
precedent merel y to satisf y its
understandable
desire for
Daniloff to have a "more congenial environment. " The ad-

ministration 's idea of success in
this crisis is simp le—the return ol
Daniloff. Because the Soviet
Union has desire to keep him
forever , the administration will
perhaps soon be claiming "success. " And as the President said
when Jesse Jackson collaborated
with Syria to enable Syria to
avoid dealing with U.S. government concerning release of a U.S.
airman. "You can ' t argue with
success. "
But you can and should argue
with it when involves selfindulgent preoccupation with the
immediate. Speaking of which ,
the tax-simp lification bill—925
pages of relentless simp lillcation-will pass , partl y because ol
"transition rules " desi gned to
miti gate the agony of "fairness "
as it falls on certain friends of certain senators and congressmen.
The more than three hundred
of such rules exempt particular
corporations and other interests
from the ri gors of reform. For examp le, tax subsidies (re formers
will be opposed to such th ings in
general, just.as soon as these ,hundreds are enacted ) are retained to
enable nine communities to build
stadiums to attract or retain
teams. (A 10th such project , for
the Baltimore Colts , is different... well , just because.)
Without the transition rules—
without a stupendous shower of
pork—tax reform (a.k.a. The
Slay ing of Special Interests by the
Gleaming Sword of Virtue ) mi ght
have died.
Passing appropriation bills is
too banal an activity for a Congress that is busy bring ing justice
to South Africa and stadiums to
needy cities. There fore we have
government by continuing resolution. Soon the president will be
presented with a yes-or-no decision on a nearl y $600 billion bill
to keep government—the whole
thing—ticking over. Perhaps he
should veto it , to show how much

an executive branch run by
Republica ns detests sins of
spending.
Except...
Shultz is cross because Congress is cutting the administra lion ' s forei gn-aid request. He is
ri g ht to be cross: such cuts will
dangerousl y diminish U.S influence abroad. But he is wrong
to be . as he seems , surprised.
Shultz is the adviser the president trusts most. Where was
Shultz when the presid ent was
wrapp ing himself in GrammRudman , as in the flag ? It was
predictable that Gramm-Rudman ,
combined with the president ' s
taxop hobia , would mean severe
cuts in forei gn aid. Such cuts are
the least risk y choices for a Congress attacking the deficit onl y by
shrinking spending, not increasing revenue.
And speaking, as we are , of the
predictable consequences of selfindul gent Republicanis m: Is
Shultz reall y surprised that
fore ign aid is not faring well in
an era that re fleets the effects of
30 years of. Republican rhetoric
about how "government is the
problem , not the solution to problems, " etc.?
Congress has complied with the
Gramm-Rudman law with a mixlure of fudges fi gures and onetime sales of assets. The savings
of $13.3 billion is just enoug h to
avoid across-the-board spending
cuts.
Because Congress will indul ge
in a small "perfecting " amendment, just chang ing a number.
The current Gramm-Rudman requires the deficit to be reduced to
zero in five equal increments by
1991. Perhaps the perfected
Gramm-Rudman will required 55
equal increments. Congress probabl y could succeed in cutting
one-fi fty-fi ft h of the deficit and ,
hey. you can ' t argue with
success.

... and go ahead on colleges
In the bud get he sent to Congress last February , President
Reagan proposed that federal aid
to higher education be cut by 40
percent in the next five years.
Congress has resisted ; the two
houses have produced a five-year
extension of the Higher Education Act that would keep the basic
forms of aid about as they are.
That 's the right thing to do.
The Hi gher Education Act is
one of Lyndon Johnson ' s
legacies. The programs for the
poor were passed in 1965 ; in
1978 they were extended well up
into the middle class. That greatly
expanded their constituencyabout a third of the nation 's 12
million college students now
receive some form of aid-and
multiplied their cost , now about
$9 billion a year.
The colleges say this aid is not
enough , that there remains considerable unmet need. The administration 's opposing view is
that the programs have grown into an indiscriminate entitlement in
which enormous amounts of
money go to nonneedy students ,
frivolous courses and suspect
schools.
The bill seeks to respond to
both criticisms. The basic programs consists of grants to the

lowest-income students supp lemented by subsidized loans to
both low-income and middleclass students. The bill would
raise grant amounts in an effort
to catch up with tuition and keep
low-income students from crippling themselves with debt. At the
same time it would raise the
amount that students can borrow.
But while liberalizing the programs in these respects, it would
ti ghten them in others . For the
first time , all loan as well as grant
app lications would have to pass
a needs test. It would be harder
for students to declare themselves
independent of their parents ,
thereby shielding the parents
fro m having to pay . States would
be made to bear part of the cost
when students default on loans ,
g iving them an incentive to collect. Aid could no longer go , as
a surprising amount now does , to
students without hi gh school
di p lomas enrolled in proprietary
schools without remedial programs. Nor could aid go past the
sophomore year to students with
less than C averages not making
satisfactory progress (as defined
by the college) toward a degree.
A questionable provision
would simply have to be seeking
a degree. Half time is the cuto ff

now , and public and community
colleges say this leaves out a lot
of strugg ling older students who
have families and jobs and only
money or time enoug h to take a
course at a time. The extension
will take some careful policing.
On the other hand , it is very
much in the spirit of these underrated programs. If aid to hi gher
education is now in part a subsidary of the middle class, it also
remains one of the great equalizing devices in American society .
That is the overriding reason why
this sensible bill is an important
accomplishment.

BU hosts Special Olympics
All students interested in helping with the Special Ol ympic
Games , hosted by Bloomsburg
University every Saturday ,
should meet at 8 p.m., Tuesday ,
Sept. 30, in the Kehr Union Coffee House.
The Special Olympic partici pants range fro m ages 5-2 1
and come from Bloomsburg, Berwick , Catawissa , and other nearby towns.

The students who volunteer for
these games , perform a number
of duties including picking up the
partici pants in vans provided by
Bloomsburg University , coordinating and organizing the
events , and working with the
children.
Dr. William Jones , a Special
Ed. Professor and an assistant
director of the Special Olympic
Games, said , "It is a tremendous
experience for the special partici pants , and it is a wonderful experience for the students to feel

Robertson cleared
from page 1

Shepherd added , "I have no
recollection of receiving any
communication from the commandant of the Marine Corps , or
any of his staff , from the
secretary of the Navy, from his
staff or from Sen. Robertson
himself , concerning your assignment or any aspect thereof. Had
I received such an unusual request as described in the EvansNovak column I am sure I would
remember it. "
It was not clear whether
Shepherd , in his top command
position , would necessarily have
been aware of any intervention
affecting a serviceman 's assignment. Gearhart told the Los

Angeles Times , however , that
Shepherd later did arrange to get
him, Robertson and two other
lieutenants assigned to Korea
after Gearhart met him at a
cocktail party and requested the
transfer.
David West , press coordinator
for Americans for Robertson,
said that Robertson was still trying to arrive at "the definitive
answer " to allegations about his
service career. "Not that anyone
appears willing to believe it , " he
added.
West said that when Robertson
had developed such an answer he
dould probabl y hold a press confe rence to make it public.

Daniloff crisis situation
from page 1

Moscow thinks that all of them
must be settled before U.S. Soviet relations can return to normal. The Soviet official said that
six or seven of the twenty-five
di plomats on the U.S. list have
already left the country , and he
imp lied that his government
might agree to withdraw some of
the others . But he said that
Moscow would not surrender the
principle that the expulsion orders
were illegal under international
law.
Told of Gerasimov 's comments , Shultz said , "Being host
to the U.N. does not mean we
should be host to intelli gence activities of other nations. " Administration officials have said
that all twenty-five persons on the
list are KGB intelligence officers.
Gerasimov said that if the expulsion was not rescinded , "there
will be a fourth obstacle (to a
our
retaliatory
summit),

We can 't come up with a caption for this photo. The whole staff worked together to come
up with something that expressed the thoug ht and mood of this shot. Unfortunately, nothing

If you think you have the perfect caption , write your entry on a piece of paper and drop it
in Box 97 , Kehr Union (Info Desk). The best caption will be chosen from all entries and printed

He would not say what they

Shultz said that he hoped that
the Daniloff case could be resolved before Shevardnadze leaves

he refused to set a deadline.
However, Gerasimov said that
Shevardnadze 's scheduled departure was "kind of a deadline " for

New York-Donald Bitticks is
pretty pleased with the little
paunch that hangs over the waistband of his pants. And he is
mi ghty encouraged that a coup le
of cancer lesions on his ri ght arm
have remained small and pale ,
"sort of like still-borns , " Bitticks
says proudl y.
Bitticks , an Episcopal minister
who has AIDS , has become a
believer in the benefits of an experimental
drug
called
azidoth ymidine , or AZT for
short. .,,,, .. ,
And when Bitticks heard last
week that federal health officials
had approved the drug for
widespread use , he was , to be

sure , happy for the many AIDS
patients he knows. He also .was
relieved for himself.
' 'The problem that I have when
I talk to peop le is that I want to
talk about things they can do
(such as) having a positive attitude ,
working
toward
wholeness , " said Bitticks , who
has been taking AZT since
Febru ary as a partici pant in a
federal researc h stud y.
"What they reall y want to
know fro m me is, 'How can I get
what you 're getting ?' " he said.

"Now all I have to do is give
them an 800 p hone number. "
Bitticks , who lives in Manhattan , had one of the more
unabashedly positive reactions to
last Friday 's announcement that
persons with certain symptoms of
AIDS can procure AZT simp ly
by calling a toll-free telephone
number , and then working with
their physicians.
But many others who do not
meet the narrow criteria for
receiving the drug have expressed anguished disappointment,

Engli sh fa culty gather at
BU student gets hooked on France BU for annual confer ence

Exchange student turns Franco-American
Philippe Saubier and his family
for a week . Saubier was an exchange student who came from
Nancy to Bloomsburg in 1985.
Lisa said that the Saubiers helped
her gradually adjust to the French
culture . She says she was so excited to finally be in France after
two years of planning that she felt
guilty because she was hardly
homesick.
Kroll says she notices that college life in France is different
than in the United States. She
describes the University of Nancy as one building with no campus. She found the business
courses to be more practical and
relaxed than the ones here .
She says the students reside in
apartments and dorms in town.
The students arc distant at first,
but graduall y become more
outgoing. "They think nothing ol
inviting friends over for tea or
dinner ," she explains . They
knew more about United States
politics than she did. She says
they hardl y ever watch television ;
they would much rather go to a
movie , the opera , or just sit and
talk.
Kroll says she did not enjoy the
French dorms. With disgust , she
recounted gray, long halls with
timed li ghts that went out and left
her in the dark . She says , "There
are many li ghts like that in
France. " Kroll says her dorm
bathroom was primitive and dirty since the cleaning woman did
not do her job. Unlike American
college students , residents have
their own rooms which they
treated like apartments. She says
that many students who lived in
the same dorm attended different
area universities , so everyone
kept mostl y with thier own
friends.

Schultz , director of New York
City 's Bureau of Epidemiological
Services , to wonder about the
many poor people among the
3,300 peop le with AIDS who remain alive in New York.
"They don 't read The New

a private doctor ," Schultz said.
"We think the question of access
and equitable distribution is a real
one. "
Those who could answer such
a concern—federal and state
health officials and city hospital
administrators , primaril y were
startled by the suddenness of last

are vague about how they will

Don Chomiak
There are thousands of word s
and phrases in the American
language which are harsh on the
ears of many.
These include all of the things
I occasionally call that one person who has just screwed up my
whole day .
Though not entirel y proud of
my own vocabulary , I have accepted it and myself for what we
are , much like a man who must
face the fact that yes , regardless
of how much Scope he uses , he
still has bad breath.
Recently, I was forced to defend it , my vocabulary—not bad
breath—as part of myself.
The individual who attempted
to separate part of me from the
whole had condemned the whole
because of the part . She , in her
ultimate wisdom , had decided I
was damned in more than the
biblical sense for using inflamatory language upon becoming upset. She deemed it
necessary for me to curb my
tongue even when furious—a fire
with no smoke or a dog with bladder problems who must hold it
until he gets home.
Being completel y satisfied in
who I am , I balked at the proposal
and hung up the phone. Having
known her for as long as I can
remember , I was *789 *! that she
would not accept me for who I

A few days later , a friend of
mine convinced me I was correct
in my stance. I had doubts , much
like Columbus , and feared falling
off the edge of the world. Fortunatel y, my belief , much like
Columbus ', was quite correct.
My friend reminded me about
someone else who is equally as
close to the woman as I am. This
person also has a few undesirable
characteristics. His , however, do
not include a mouth that occasionall y sounds like a street-fi ght
all by itself.
His characteristics revolve
around physical appearance and
the way he lives his life. They include the clothes he wears, usually wrinkled and unwashed for
days; his hyg iene , he has none;
and his direction , which happens
to be no one in particular.
The woman in question , though
not happy with what she sees in
the other , considers it a phase ,
and accepts him as is. Much like
the pizza box that gets delivered
at midni ght , an hour late , and
when opened reveals a pie that
has just committed suicide all
over the inside of the box.
Hung up on language. It happens. Priorities are individuall y
determined , ofte n resulting in
more than just a suicidal pizza .
The ability to accept others as
they are can be compared to trying to smell roses when exposed
to the lost Easter Egg finall y
found in May , which fell and
broke when the book hiding it
was pulled off the shelf. A messy
sort of business requiring patience
and more than a bit of understanding. Both of which are often absent fro m my own vocabulary .

of them , the first thing to strike
any unprepared visitor is the
faces. Thousands upon thousands
of short, round , pouting, smiling,
some long, some thin , but almost
all food imbedded faces.
The looks on them tell as many
stories. There was the happy "I
love the fair " face , the "let 's get
out of here " grimace , and the
"I' m gonna hit the this guy if he
bumps into me once more " glare .
Mother Nature played an interesting role in the fair game this
year , creating an obstacle course
of miniature swimming pools ,
creeks , and a couple of small
oceans for the feet to play in as
you walk. Let it be said my shoes
are still not speaking to me.
The next thing to surprise a
newl y aquainted fairgoer is the

food. It is unescapable. No matter what section of ,the fair you
run to , the food is there , calling
to you. If you are the slightest bit
h u n g r y , forget it. You ' re
through.
And we are not talking the all
natural salad-sty le stuff. The concoctions available at the fair are
all registered in the dieter 's handbook on deadly weapons.
Walking, or should I say
wading (people this time , not
water) , throug h certain sections
of the fair , the sweet smell of the
world' s greatest fertilizer hits the
nostrils. Animals. Horses , cows,
pigs , the works. Only, after walking around a while and seeing
who and what was there to see,
it became hard to distinguish between the animals in the cages and
the ones that should be.
I must confess , the fair is not
bad . If you like noise, crowds ,
fattening food , music , and are
there to have a good time , the fair
is great. If you are there to do a
story and it happens to rain , you
may be in for a satirical
experience.

Dieting

Students remain
weight infatu ated
by Roseanne Gieger
lor the Voice

Dieting has become a term
common to most young men and
women. Most everyone, at some
point in time , has put themselves
on a diet.
Remember when you had to
shed a few pounds so that you
would look good in your new
bathing suit? How about the time
you didn 't eat for a week so that
you could squeeze into your
favorite pair of old , faded jeans?
Being thin has not onl y become
a national obsession , but almost
a campus obsession at BU.
"i don 't diet , " says one BU
junior , "I just watch what I eat . "
This is heard often , but any way
it is looked at , people a>re selfconscious about eating too much
and slay ing slim.
There are v a r i o u s diets
available. If you look on the
bestseller 's list every week you
will undoubtedly find a few
diet/exercise books. Diets are
everywhere. Some onl y last a
week , while others last a year (or
longer). Some consist of just cutting out snacks , while others are
carefull y p lanned and followed
with a doctor ' s supervision.
Along with diets , fitness is also
stressed to today 's youth. Exercising is a common form of
socializing on campus. Aerobic
classes provide for a fun workout
with friends. Weight training on
sautilus equi pment is a great
break from study ing. Jogging
around town is a relaxing way to
spend time alone.
"'Exercising is important , not
onl y to looking good ," believes
one BU sophomore , **but also to
feeling good. " There is such a

(Left to right) Mark, Simon and Ross work a dart stand at the fair.

Foreign fair workers comment on Amer ica

'Self-satisfying nation'
by Kirsten Leininger
for the Viocc

In addition to the rides , games,
food and frolic , the Bloomsburg
Fair brings many interesting people into the area. Among these
people are three British fellows
who have come to America to
find out what it 's all about. Using their heavy British accents
Mark , Simon and Ross (their last
names are changed by request)
can be found working at one of
the many game stands at the fair ,
luring prospective gamblers into
playing darts.
Mark , 25 , a mechanical
engineering graduate of Queen
Mary College in London; Simon ,
21 , an undergraduate studying
politics at the same university ;
and Ross, 27, a French and
Eng lish graduate of the University of Glasgow in Scotland , are
in Bloomsburg because of
B.U.N.A.C , British Universities
North American Club. All British
Universities are tied to this
organization in which British
students can receive a temporary
work visa that allows them to
work in America for a few
months a year. There is a similar
program in the United States that
allows American students to work
in Great Britain.
The three men were given a
directory which listed jobs
available to them through
B.U.N.A.C. They chose carnival
work because they say they heard
it was a totall y different kind of
life and would give them a chance
to learn about and travel
throughout America. Althoug h
they sleep in their dart stand
every night and keep only a small
percentage of their profits as
commission, they say that they do
enjoy the work.
Afte r closing their stand at the
fair for the ni ght , Mark , Simon
and Ross stick out like a sore
thumb among the college students
at a local pizza place. Wearing
earrings , odd jeans , kingy T-

shirts , sandals and leather jackets ,
the smiling trio sits down , open
a few cans of beer that they picked up at a neighboring bar , and
beg in to explain their opinions of
the U.S.
"I came to America to see if
it was the same as it is on t.v. and
in the movies , " says Ross who
first came to the U.S. in 1985 ,
"Television correctl y portrays
America. The media runs this
country . It creates attitudes here
and it makes the programs , "
Simon , who is visiting America
for the first time , says, "It 's
television reality . People respond
to what they see. American
authors and records brought me
over. You know , there 's a lot of
brilliance here , it 's just submerged in ignorance ," he adds.
Mark , who has been to the
U.S. a few times since 1983 ,
jumped in. "I came to America
because of Lou Reed' s [song]
'Take a Walk on the Wild Side ' . ''
According to Ross , America
will be the cause of the end of the
world. "All moral codes are dead
here , and there is no freedom in
politics , " he says. "Famil y
values have been destroyed . "
"It 's (America) already starting to break up the famil y and
moral codes in Europe . " Simon
says , "The American culture is
killing our European culture . "
Mark says, "There are bi g
bucks to be made in breaking up
a famil y in the U.S. Every family has a lawyer here . No one has
a lawyer in Eng land. "
Ross states "The United States
is the most self-satisf y ing nation
in the world. She (America)
thinks she is the most advanced ,
yet she has the largest percentage
of cancer, illiteracy and obesity . "
Ross says he likes American
football and girls , but dislikes the
Americans ' concept that money
buys everything. But Mark adds
a positive point about America.
He says he likes the way that the
class system is based on ability,

Walk for hunger
"Caring for the World ' s
Hungry . '' That is the theme for
the Crop Walk , 1986.
This year 's local crop walk is
being held Sunday , October 12 ,
at 1:30 p.m. The walk beg ins at
Bloomsburg Town Park and
follows a 10 mile route.
Funds raised by Crop Walk
sponsors and other Crop events
are used by Church World Service , a relief , development , and
refugee assistance arm of 31 Protestant and Orthodox communions. They work together
through the National Council of
the Churches of Christand has
aided more than 70 countries over
the past 39 years by providing
food , medical supplies, public
health materials , tents , clothing ,
blankets , and transportation.
According to Church World
Services , half of the children in
many parts of the world die
before their fifth birthday from
diseases that could be prevented
with the provision of safe drinking water. Nearly one billion peo'ile suffer from the effects of

strong emphasis on thinness and
keeping in shape. Being slim and
fit is continuousl y stressed day to
day.
The media especiall y push the
idea of being fit and trim.
Everywhere you look , television ,
movies , magazines , and even
music , you see slim , attractive
women and men with perfect
bodies and looks.
"Since there is so much competition between everyone at college , " says another BU
sophomore , "looking good and
being fit becomes more important
to .students."
Dieting, if done properl y, is an
excellent way of providing nutrition to otherwise lacking meals.
H o w e v e r , to some , dieting
becomes addictive and harmful.
Our society strong ly stresses
being thin. Some cannot handle
the pressure of society 's emphasis
on slimness and they become
anorexic by starving themselves.
Some even become buiemic by
bing ing then purg ing . Experts say
this isn 't as unusual as many
suspect. It has been estimated that
one in five college women suffer
trom some type of eating
disorder.
Bloomsburg
University
recognizes that
pressures
sometimes may cause students to
lose contro l of their eating habits.
The Center for Counseling and
Human Development has programs , such as nutrition and support groups to hel p those who are
experiencing trouble with their
eating habits. The Health Center
also has a weight control group
available. Students can sign up at
the Health Center in the McCormick Human Services building
located on the upper campus.

Accounting competition
to challenge students

Healthwise...
t h i n k about this...

Pennsy lvania State Law makes it illegal to drive with
a blood alcohol level of .10 percent. This m e a n s that onetenth of a percent of the blood in your body is alcohol.
This doesn 't sound like m u c h , but it is enough to affect your body functions. Not onl y is your ability to drive
safely affected , but also your ability to concentrate and
your ability to think logicall y. You r inhibitions are decreased allowing you to say and do things which you wouldn 't
otherwise say or do.
The a m o u n t of alcohol it takes to reach the .10 percent
level varies according to your body weig ht and how quickly you drink. As a general rule , sipping one drink per hour
and eating before or while you drink will help keep you
safe longer , but not e l i m i n a t e the effects of each ounce of
alcohol consumed. Play it safe , know your limits and con sider designating a driver who doesn ' t d r i n k .

In the final two months of the
1985 season , he went about the
business of putting a new face on
the Orioles.
He made Floyd Ray ford and
Mike Young everyday players .
He made Don Aase a short-relief
specialist. He preached and cursed and cajoled the starting
pitchers .
Two players recall a game in
Cleveland when he was so angry
he spent much of it walking back
and forth across the dugout. On
one end were pichers Storm
Davis and Ti ppy Martinez ,
neither of whom had been able to
throw strikes that ni g ht. On the
other were Scott McGregor and
Mike Flanagan.
"He was so mad it was hard to
keep a strai ght face , " one player
remembered . "He 'd get down to
the end where Ti ppy and Storm
were and he 'd start cursing and
ranting . He 'd walk to the other
end , and he was normal to Flanny and Scotty . Then he 'd go back
to the other end and go crazy
again. "
Had Weaver changed?
"I hope he wasn 't worse than
this , " Davis said the next morning, afte r another session in the
manager 's office.
He had a similar blovvup with
Martinez in Seattle late last
season , telling him at one point ,
"In 10 years, noone has used you
ri ght , have they ? I guess
everyone is an idiot except you. "
Players who had never been
around him wondered about his
outbursts and , especially, his
superstitions. He wore lucky
shoes , put lucky marks on the
lineup card and looked for a lucky
spot in the dugout.
Once when Young homered
while Weaver was standing in a
particular spot , he wouldn 't leave
it for three innings.
The Orioles were 53-52 in
1985 after Weaver returned ,
which didn 't look so good . But
what Weaver saw was very good ,
a team that could hit home runs
in bunches , with a short reliever
(Aase) who had the potential to
be one of the league 's best
closers.
If Weaver could only get the
starting pitching and defense
straightened up, he was convinced the Orioles might win again.
Spring training began with him
bring ing visitors and reporters into his office , and peeling a hard boiled egg by starting with only
one small hole in the end—his idea
of a magic trick.

Baltimore-It had been a long,
hard day on the road , and Earl
and Marianna Weaver were tired
that summer day fifteen months
ago. Yet , as they hit the
Baltimore Beltway and started
toward their daughter 's home in
Timonium , wonderful memories
stirred.
"We'd see a restaurant and say
'Hey , remember when such-andsuch happened?'" Weaver recalled. "We had so many nice
memories of Baltimore, and coming back brought back a lot of
them. "
They were in the third leg of
a tour-city tour , to Houston , St.
Louis , Baltimore , and Atlanta , a
time to visit sons and daughters
and grandchildren , to see Busch
Gardens, to eat at pizza joints and
to enjoy the company of one
another.
Which is essentiall y what his
two-year retirement had been
about. A wealthy man who never
left behind blue-collar tastes,
Weaver had devoted his time to
cruises , golf ,cooking, and
gardening. Splurging was
breakfast at Denny 's.
"People have told me it sounded boring, " he said. "Well , actuall y, there was never enough
time to do thing s you wanted to
do. And I loved every minute of
it. "
That feeling hadn 't changed as
he arrived at the home of
daughter Kim in Baltimore County and was handed a message to
telephone Orioles owner Edward
Bennett Williams .
The Orioles had just lost three
listless games to the Boston Red
Sox and , a few months after the
club had spent $11.2 million on
free agents, Williams ' dream of
a quick overhaul was crumbling.
Come to Washington and meet
with me, he told Weaver.
Weaver faced one of the most
difficult moments of his career
and , as he plays out the final
weeks of his one-year return , it
is a decision he has thought about
often , that decision to take over
for Joe Altobelli.
The up side was that he could

slammed his shin guard s on his

Another time , he was asked
about a player 's injury : "I hope
he 's out for the season , don 't
you? "
He was proud and arrogant ,
and had he been able to turn the
1985 Orioles into 1986 winners ,
his legend would have grown tenfold. In the end , everything went
wrong.
The pitching was bad , the
defense was worse and the hitting
was the most inconsistent in the
American League.
Now , the Orioles are not onl y
out of contention , but about to
have their worst finish in 20
years.
His clubs , 1,354-919 for that
.596 percentage when he stepped
aside after the 1982 season , with
the late 1986 swoon have sli pped
to 124-130, .488 , since his
return.
In retrospect , Weaver can
second-guess himself for a dozen
things.
One was in player jud gments ,
particularl y in the case of Young
and Radford , whose home run
production dropped from 46 last
year to 15.
"I can point to the front office

Weaver said , "but in truth , I' m

much as anyone. I'm the one who

The season unraveled in many
other important places as well
Did Weaver burn Aase out , using him in 46 of the first 103
games? After all , it was Aug. 6,
with Aase unable to pitch , when
the Orioles blew an 11-6 lead in

BU gets washed out at West Chester 44-7
by Mike Albrig ht
Staff Writer

With Friday ni ght 's 44-7 victory over Bloomsburg , West
Chester University avenged three
years of football frustrations versus the Huskies.
Back in 1983, before a huge
Parent ' s Day crowd , BU trailed
24-5 entering the fourth quarter
but rallied to a 25-24 victory .
Two years ago , Jay DeDea
drove the Huskies from their own
five yard line to midfield with
time running out. On the game 's
final play, DeDea hit Curtis Still
with a 50-yard "Hail Mary " pass
tor a 34-3 1 BU victory .
Then , last season the Huskies
downed West Chester 8-6 in the
mud in the season 's final regular
season game. BU' s last two victories resulted in Pennsy lvania
Conference Eastern Division
titles for the Huskies.
Friday ni ght 's loss was the
Huskies ' first regular season
defeat since 1984' s final game
loss to Lycoming. The loss also
means the Huskies must win the
division outri ght to make their
t h i r d strai g ht State Game
appearance.
According to the Pennsylvania

Conference ' s
tie-breaking
system , the team that went to the
State Game the year before is
automaticall y eliminated from the
tie.
West Chester opened the scoring when Bob Keough intercepted
a Jay DeDea pass and returned it
20 yards down the left sideline for
a 7-0 Ram advantage.
Both teams played tentativel y
in the first quarter combining for
five turnovers. West Chester

Bloomsburg passes , w h i l e
Bloomsburg picked off one Ram
pass and recovered a fumble.
Two plays into the second
quarter , Ram tailback Jason Sims
e x p loded
for a 44-yard
touchdown run to put West
Chester up 14-0.
On the day . Sims rushed 21
times for 221 yards and two
touchdowns as the Rams amassed 545 yards of tota l offense, 314
rushing and 231 passing.
Two possessions later , with
5:37 left in the half. Gerald Desmond put the Rams up 1 7-0 with
a 28-yard field goal.
The first play following the
kickoff saw DeDea intercepted
for the fourth time. Four plays
later , Sims scored from 1 1 yards

at halftime.
Bloomsburg failed to move the
ball on its first possession of the
second half and punted. West
Chester then went 59 yards in
seven plays , capping the drive
with a seven yard Al Niemcla
pass to Jim Sheehan.
Niemcla was 1 9-27 on the day
for 2 1 7 yards and three
touchdowns. DeDea , who had
thrown for 702 yards in BU' s first
two victories , was 1 8-45 for 209

Following the Ram score .
DeDea drove BU to its lone

The Huskies then recovered an

the ball. With a fourth and 12 on
the BU 47. Ed Jankoski' s fake
punt and pass to Jeff Flickncr netted just two yards , g iving West

Cavaliers . "'1 think Harper ' s really going to be a star. " West said

It will be interesting to see how
teammates Mag ic Johnson and
.lames Worth y get along when the
Lakers ' training camp beg ins in
earl y October.
Johnson publicl y agreed when
the Lakers seriousl y considere d
a p r e - d r a f t deal w i t h the
Mavericks that would have included a swap of all-star forw a r d s . Worth y for M a r k
Aguirre , one of Mag ic 's best
friends. Predictabl y, Worth y
wasn ' t the least bit thrilled that
Johnson had anything to say
about the matter.
"I t h i n k that (Johnson ' s
outspokenness), probabl y more
than anything , perpetrated a thing
like this , " said Lakers general
manager Jerry West, who has
spoken to both players and their
agents about the matter.
"Earvin Johnson has Mark
Aguirre as a friend; they have the
same agent (Charles Tucker.) I
don 't know if (Johnson and Worth y) have talked yet. I assume
they will. Players are very sensitive about things like this. But
the responsibility of a team is to
explore any possibility to improve
the team. "
The deal , which centered
around Worth y and guard Byron
Scott for Aguirre and the
Mavericks ' No. 1 pick , had
reached a serious discussion stage
by draft day ,
"There was a lot of discussion
with Dallas , " West said. "We
were enamored with the seventh
p ick in the draft and they were
with Worth y. But it 's a dead issue
now.
"We didn 't think it was good
for our team ," West continued.
"Mark Aguirre is a fine player
and a fine scorer. But we like
James Worth y. We think he ' s a
better p layer.
The issue won 't be revived
because the p layer West coveted
with the seventh pick isn ' t a
Maverick. The word on dra ft day
was the Lakers were after
Michi gan center Ron Tarp ley ,
taken by the Mavericks , and that
deal still could be made later.
West , however , was seeking

Soccer gets soaked with 5-1 loss
by Mike Mullen
for the Voice

The Bloomsburg University
soccer team traveled to Villanova
only to return very tired , very wet
and with a disappointing 5-1 loss.
Playing for the firs t time on the
Wildcat 's artificial surface and in
a steady downpour did not bode
well for the Husky team. To add
to their troubles , the start of the
game was delayed due to rain.
Head coach Steve Goodwin
made no excuses for his team 's
performance. "It was definitely
our worst game of the year ," he

said of the contest.
He did point out that he thought
that the last ten minutes of the second half were the best his team
has ever played.
"Down 5-0 they mi g ht have
said 'Hey , we ' re not this bad .'
and j u s t gotten mad at
themselves , " he remarked. He
went on to say that they did score
a goal in that span and narrowly
missed two others except for the
spectacular saves of the keeper.
BU averted the shutout when
freshman Dave Tuscano nailed a
pass from junior Dave Deck
Villanova enjoyed a 19-12

shot-on-goal advantage , while
BU outdueled them in corners
seven to five. Husky goalie Dave
Pinkerton recorded nine saves to
the Wildcat 's five.
One final note on the game ,
and the season , is how coach
Goodwin expressed his happiness
in the team 's progress.
"We have several freshmen in
starting roles this year and they 're
just learning the game on the college level. " He says that he feels
there will come , a time when
"they beg in to play all their
games the way they finished that
one. "

a hotel bill of more than $50 ,000
while residing at Stauffe r ' s
Greenway Plaza , located next to
The S u m m i t, from October
throug h mid-January.
The hotel evicted him for lack
of payment.
Lloyd claimed the majorit y of
the debt was the responsibility ol
two men who allegedl y shared
two suites with him.
Stauffer ' s tried to get the
money from the Rockets , but
management contended it was
"
Lloyd 's bill.
The hotel then filed a suit,
which is still pending, against
Lloyd. The hotel ' s manager was
fired over the incident.
The Rockets have been unsu ccessfu l thus far in their attempts
to trade Lloy d, who was averaging 19.8 points at the time of his
eviction but flushed the season al
16.9.
After being a key factor in the
Rockets ' ousting of the Lakers in
the playoffs , Lloyd disappeared
comp letel y against the Celtics in
the finals.
The Rockets know Lloyd can
p lay . The problem is his inconsistencies both on and off the
court .
