Crippled Soviet sub sinks in Atlantic;
no nuclear contamination seen
by Jeffery Smith

LA Times-Washington Post Service

A Soviet nuclear-powered submarine lost its three-day battle for
survival in the predawn darkness
Monday and , after a frantic effort
to rescue the crewmen still
aboard , sank in 18,000 feet of
water about 600 miles northeast
of Bermuda.
The Yankee-class submarine ,
damaged by an explosfon and fire
Friday morning, had been on a
routine patrol in "The Box , "
about 1,300 miles off the U.S.
East Coast , when the liquid fuel
in one of its missiles caught fire ,
causing a gigantic explosion that
ripped the cap off one of its 16
missile tubes and tore holes
elsewhere in the 9,300-ton ship,
that had steamed to the scene at
tpmpted to tow the sub northeastward for much of the day
and night Sunday. But a Pentagon
spokesman said the salvage crew

on the Yank.ee apparently could
not control the leaks.
A Navy P3C Orion antisubmarine plane fro m Bermuda
reported that the submarine
started to sink at 12:20 a.m. EDT
and slipped under the waves at
about 4 a.m. after all remaining
crewmen were removed, the Pentagon said. Three crewmen died
in the original explosion and fire .
Washington Post correspondent Celestine Bohlen reported
fro m Moscow that the Soviet
government acted with unusual
candor and speed in announcing
the sinking in a radio broadcast ,
saying that "the immediate cause
is the speedy flooding of water
from the outside. The reactor has
been shut down. According to the
conclusion of specialists , the
possibility of a nuclear explosion
and radioactive contamination of
the environment is excluded. "
The Pentagon agreed with the
Soviet assessment about con-

tamination . High-ranking military
officers who briefed reporters
Monday said the nuclear
warheads on the missile that
caught fire were either burned
completely or ejected into the
ocean without exploding.
The officers said they also
doubted that the nuclear power
plant now lying on the rocky bottom of the Atlantic would
deteriorate and send poisonous
radioactive substances into the
surrounding ocean.
The explosion apparently was
in the third missile tube behind
the sail , often called the conning
tower , on the port side. The explosion evidently caused a fire too
big to control and filled much of
the submarine with smoke, forcing the Yankee skipper to surface
where the lethal fumes could be
ventilated into the open air.
The Soviet news agency Tass
did not say how many crewmen
were injured , but Pentagon

sources said several were hurt
and were taken off the submarine
b y small boats from the three to
five frei ghters on the scene.
The Soviets had mounted a major effort to save the submarine,
according to Navy officials, even
ordering a Kirov nuclearpowered cruiser to rush to the
scene. Navy sources said that the
Soviets apparentl y wanted
nuclear specialists on the Kirov
to assess the situation inside the
submarine. The Kirov was still
far away when the sub sank,
sourced said.
U.S. P3 aircraft from Bermuda
kept the submarine under constant watch the Pentagon said that
early Monday morning the submarine was firing red and green
rockets , apparently signaling the
frei ghters that crew members
were abandoning ship.
Small boats battled heavy seas
as they rescued the remainder of
the 120-man crew by searchlight ,
according to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon said the site of
the sinding was 31 degress 29
minutes north latitude and 54
degress 42 minutes west
longitude. The bottom is rocky
there, according to the Pentagon ,
but both the United States and
Soviet Union have submersible
vessels that could operate at that
depth and perhaps retrieve parts
of the submarine.
Navy officials said the sunken
sub is one of the oldest in the
Soviet fleet and doubted there
would be an effort to retrieve it.
The Soviet Union built 34
Yankees , the first of which went
into service in 1967. Several have
been scrapped to deep the Soviets
within the weapons limits of the
SALT II treaty .
The submarine had been towed only 80 miles at a speed of 2
mph before the freighter abandoned the effort . The U.S.
government had offered to send
Navy ships to assist the Soviets
but was tol& to "remain clear ,"
according to the Pentagon.

BACCHUS to boost
alcohol awareness
by Karen Reiss
Staff Writer

Bloomsburg University ' s
BACCHUS chapter voted for the
executive officers last night at the
organization 's first general
meeting.
Tim O'Konsky, the organizer
of the meeting, opened by explaining the ideals of BACCHUS.
' 'BACCHUS stands for Boost
Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University
Students," O'Konsky said . "The
group does not discourage drinking but promotes more responsible drinking. "
Some of the principles the
organization is based on concern
alcohol as a health issue, independent decision making, respect for
abstinence, and the right not to
drink.
O'Konsky said the group will
concentrate on helping fraternities
and sororities come up with alternatives for alcohol at parties.
' 'It doesn't have to be a costly
thing, " he said , "A case of soda

When asked to comment on the
content of this article , McCulloch
said, ' 'I would comment that you
are wrong about the specifications. "
Dr. Robert J. Parrish , vice
president of administration at BU,
signed his approval to the purchase. When asked to comment
on the contents of this article, he
said , "I would be surprised if
your deductions are correct. "
Dr. Harry Ausprich , president
of BU , declined to comment on
the contents of the article at this
time.

Student at Large

The bidding process used for
the purchase of $69,850 worth of
lighting equipment for Mitrani
Hall appeared to have eliminated
competitive bidding, in contravention of state regulations,
said a state government attorney
in Harrisburg;
Title 4, Pennsylvania Code,
Section 69.3, states 'Unless
otherwise authorized by law , all
Commonwealth contracts shall be
awarded by competitive sealed
bidding.. '
The writing of specifications
for the purchase resulted in the
elimination of all but one
manufacturer.
A company, owned by the consultant who was brought in to
write proposed specifications for
the purchase, was the only company to submit a bid and received the contract.
Joe Petro , the consultant,
received a quotation , a listing of
the bill of materials to be provided by the manufacturer, from the
manufacturer involved over one
month prior to the mailing date
of the bid invitations.
Don McCulloch , director of
Physical Plant and Energy

Harry Ausprlch

Management at BU , approved the
specifications for the purchase of
the lighting equipment .
The purchase was contracted to
TCSC, Theater Consultants and
Systems Co. of Wescosville, Pa.
The company, owned by Petro ,
is a representative of Electro
Controls , a manufacturer of
theatrical dimming systems.
The specifications, descriptions
and requirements as to what
equipment was to be purchased
and the instructions for the submitting of bids for the project , effectively meant that only Electro
Controls equipment could be
used .

THE BIDDING PROCESS

The bids for this purchase, invitations to companies to submit
proposals to provide the equipment, included the final specifications for the purchase and were
mailed July 28.
The due date for the return of
the, bids to the university was
Aug. 12 at 1 p.m.
According to the requirements
in the specifications for the purchase of the equipment, a company capable of supplying Electro Controls equipment had to
return the bid to the university
within 11 working days, or 15
days.
According to the requirements

tioned at the end of the second
paragraph on the first page of the
specifications sent with the bids.
The names of the companies to
be sent bids were provided to
Purchasing by McCulloch. These
included:
—Specilite Lighting Service Co.
of Center Valley , Pa.
—Show Systems, Inc. of New
York , NY.
—Medlar Electric of Reading Pa.
-TCSC of Wescosville, Pa.

Doran Douglas , who opened up
nominations for the various
offices.
O'Konsky was elected president , Karen Heuser , vicepresident , Steve Rohback ,
treasurer , and Courtney Brown ,
secretary . Mary Dougherty was
elected as chairperson of
membership.
Shell Lundahl from the
counseling center, the group's advisor, said she was very happy
with the turn out at the meeting .
"The members of BACCHUS
are pro-choice for drinking , not
abolitionists ," Lundahl said.
"It 's a movement toward more
responsible drinking, to have better parties , and to have respect
and be good to one another. "
She commended those in attendance for "creating a unique
organization from scratch. "
O'Konsky closed by setting a

Guest Columnist

Recentl y, an editorial was
printed in The Voice that caused
quite a stir on campus. It concerned a tri p to Florida and a
misunderstanding on the part of
an official of the administration.
The Press-Enterprise came
knocking on our door to ask us
what came over us in questioning the administration. This
seemed to them out of the ordinary and 'therefore newsworthy.
I realize that to some what occured may seem unusual. I , as a
member of the staff , look at it as
The Voice doing what it shouldquestioning.
It seems odd that a newspaper

Editorial Ccilumnist

WASHINGTON-Prcsidcnt
Reagan says he should not have
said the Soviets "blinked. " Bui
they probably did—in elated
disbelief.
The administration , having
linked cases it said would not be
linked, and having accepted an
equation it termed unacceptable
(of a spy and a journalist), and
having eviscerated a princi ple (no
trading of innocent hostages for
spies) in a swap it says is not a
swap, is reeling toward a summit
it says is no summit. Embarrassment produces insincerity , from
which Hows mang led language.
That must be remembered when
the administration turns to selling
a g r e e m e n t s reached at the
summit.
Agreements arc guaranteed.
Having paid ransom to the
hostasie-taker , the administration
is traveling to Iceland as a payment to get Gorbachev to do what
he said at the Geneva summit he
would do. There , Gorbachev
agreed to come to a summit in the
United States. Now he is attaching a condition we are
scramblin g to meet: he must be
LUiaranleed a prc-eng ineered summit that will y ield arms-control
agreements he can be comfortable
with.
At Geneva . Gorbachev also
agreed to the princi ple of 50 percent reductions of force levels.
The United States has acquiesced in a Soviet retreat toward 30
percent. The administration says
30 percent is an interim step, administration acquiescence is
another attempt to purchase partial Soviet comp liance with
agreements so that other soon-tobe-shredded agreements can be
produced.
The administration , expert at
producing deficits , is running a
humdinger with the Soviet Union.
Administration outlay s far exceed
recei pts in transactions with
Moscow. In the Daniloff debacle ,
the administration made concessions regarding Soviet spies on
the United Nations payroll (onefourth of which payroll comes
from U.S. taxpayers ; the Soviet
Union knows). In fact , the concessions are probabl y not yet
complete. The administration
should at least have made the
Soviets release as many dissidents
as there are spies allowed to remain at the United Nations. The
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n should have
secured the release of the man

asking questions in the form of an
editorial would result in questions
fro m another newspaper. The
whole purpose of journalism is to
keep
a
check
on
the
establishment.
Anonymously and not for
publication , we were swarmed
with congratulations and encouragement. We were told to
continue to question. We were
told to continue to probe into the
workings of the administration
and other areas of concern.
The question that must be raised now is 'Why were all of these
compliments and encouragements
g iven to us either anonymously or
'definitely not for publication?'
It seems obvious that the people who are telling us what we are

now dy ing in a Moscow hospital,
the man who two years ago refused to hel p set up an arrest of
Daniloff.
Senior administration officials
say. solemnl y , that a rogue KGB
may have arrested Daniloff to
embarrass Gorbachev . } ;t " s see:
Gorbachev is the KGB patron
who was a protege of Andropov ,
head of the KGB. and Gorbachev
has increased the KGB coloration
of the Politburo . Yet the KGB
may be try ing to undermine him.
The absence of intellectual
ballast in the administration is
also apparent when Ronald Regan
says that in the Daniloff case , the
Soviet Union lost "the publicrelations battle " because "now
everyone knows what they are . "
Let ' s see: After 69 years and
scores of millions of corpses, the
Soviet reg ime has suffered a
significant "public-relations " setback. Regan, a man from Wall
Street, thinks the strugg le of the
20th century is a matter for
Madison Avenue.
A d m i n i s t r a t i o n spokesmen
celebrate the Iceland summit-thatis-not-a-summit because the
President is a "great communicator " who can use the occasion to convince Gorbachev
that the United States is sincere
about arms reductions. The log ic
of that line is that the arms race-and. inferentiall y, the Cold War-is the result of a misunderstanding, a failure to communicate.
Hitherto , less communicative
Presidents have failed to assuage
Soviet anxieties about American
intentions.
President Reagan has been sold
a soothing theory that explains the
dynamic of the Soviet state in
terms of anxieties and paranoias
rather than an ideolog icall y
driven pursuit of power. The
theory is that the Soviet Union is
what it is (armed to the teeth ,
waging war on its population and
aggressive at every turn) because
it has had a hard history and has
not had democracy to teach it
civility . This interp retation of the
centra l drama of the century—the
strugg le between democracy and
totalitarianism—is of almost antic
superficiality , but it plays to two
perennial American weaknesses,
parochialism and vanity .
Intellectual parochialism causes
A m e r i c a n s to believe that
everyone is like us , or can be
made to be like us , by us.
Americans do not take ideology
seriously, so neither do the Soviet
leaders , "really. " The ad-

doing is right also fear the repercussions of making that backing
public. It seems obvious that their
fear is directed to areas of
authority because trouble usually comes from above.
It is unfortunate that people feel
as they do about speaking their
mind with regards to this and
similar issues. What is there to
fear in voicing opinions?
I am not asking for public backing. I am , however, questioning
why there is such an abundance
of private backing.
Hopefully, things will change

ministration believes that Gorbachev wants to end the arms race
so he can raise his peoples ' standard of living. The administration
believes this for no better reason
than that American politicians are
primaril y concerned with living
standards. The administration
partakes of the national vanity ol
believing that if Soviet leaders
just see our supermarkets and
swimming pools, they will see the
folly of try ing to win an arms race
with a nation this rich. (Never
mind that Soviet leaders know
that the crucial and less impressive variable is Congress "
willingness to compete with
Soviet military spending.)
The administration believes the
impediment

may seem like caricatures of

Domestic violence aff ec ts
many more than just the victim
by Melissa Dyas
Guest Columnist

For generations , domestic
violence has been the "secret
crime. " Sunday, Oct. 5, the sixth
annual National Day of Unity ,
was an appropriate occasion to
note the progress that has been
made in brining woman abuse out
into the open , and to remember ,
in prayers and ceremonies , the
victims of this secret crime.
For the truth is that more
women require medical attention
because of battering than for any
other sing le reason , including
auto accidents.
According to FBI statistics , a
woman is beaten every 18
seconds; in one out of every two
marriages there will be one act of
wife abuse: in one of every four ,
the abuse will be ongoing. So

For the academician classroom
knowledge is practical application

Dear Editor ,
This letter is in response to a
point made in Monday 's editorial
titled "Actual vs. Pseudo Partici pation ". This fallacy states
that "a 4.0 says absolutely
nothing about what you can do as
far as practical app lication of
classroom knowledge. "
The writer of this article is probabl y in a major which is not all
that academic . I, being a business
computer science major , know
that although my business courses
are helpful , I could probably do
just fine without them. This is
because business is not a major
in which academic rigors are real-

ly needed to a great extent.
Of course to be a successful
businessman , it 's helpful to be intelli gent and aware . Successful
businessmen are no dummies.
But they don 't need the classroom
knowledge that other disciplines
do.
For someone such as a business
person , however , extracurricular
activities help develop the skills
necessary to be a successful
businessman—namel y, social
skills.
But what is necessary to be a
successful chemist? I'd say a
thoroug h understanding of
chemistry . Or what about a suc-

don 't think drug testing can happen to you or is simply no big
deal, I offer these thoughts. Many
large companies have or will soon
have a mandatory drug-testing
program for all employees. Some
require a drug test before employment , as part of the application
process. Ask an upperclassmen
who 's had an interview recently.
I would hazard to say that 25-50
percent of you will face this situation. Also , there is a question of
basic rights involved which
should concern you regardless of
your opinion (or use) of drugs .
There are people who will create
laws which will affect you. If you
express no opinion now, you may
face future laws which seem unjust but will require a lot more action to change than just filling out
a survey.
To everyone else (excluding
my 25 respondents), I direct the
same statements, plus the following. You are the decision makers.
You are the faculy who will contribute to a decision about schoolwide testing. You are the staff
who may be taking these tests .
You are the job-seekers who will
be tested, the employees who will
be suspected , even the management who will choose to test or
not. If you have no opinion, think
about it. If you have an opinion,
express it.
There's just not enough time
for everything and you may have
forgotten about the survey, or you
filled it out but didn 't send it in.

I wish more people participated
but it 's not that important, what
is important is that we remember
that this country allows and encourages individual opinions
before enacting laws. We value
personal choice and freedoms. If
we ignore these "rights '" let
them atrophy, we'll have only
ourselves to blame. How you express your opinions/feelings,
whether by votes , peaceful
demonstrations, debated, letters
or even surveys, is not critical.
That you do it is.
Now , the results. Out of 25
responses, 19 felt negatively
towards all testing , 4 expressed
positive reactions and 2 split their
responses along the drug/alcohol
line. One wanted drug tests but
not alcohol while the other
favored alcohol testing but not
drug testing. Many people included strongly worded comments
with their tallies , pro and con,
ranging from "It 's the law , we
should test, " to "testing violates
our rights of privacy and due pro-

Drug testing survey results tabulated

Response to the survey I placed in last week's issues, left me
somewhat underwhelmed. As I
sifted through the 25 returned
surveys , my mood ranged from
anger at the apathy of the 6,000
non-responders to appreciation
for the comments and reponses
that were offerred.
Before revealing the (limited)
results , I would like to comment
on a few things. First , do the
freshmen and sophomores at
Bloomsburg have an opinion on
this topic? I received NO responses from the underclassmen. If the
fault lies in the survey itself-not
interesting, too wordy , not clearthen I accept the blame.
However , if it 's because you

accepted way to solve problems.
It affects the police , who sustain
40 percent of their injuries
answering "domestic "calls.
It affects the neighbors , who
may be threatened if they get involved or feel guilty if they don 't.
It affects the schools , who must
try to educate childre n who are
unable to concentrate because of
their fear that Daddy is going to
hit Mommy again. And it affects
the workplace, where supervisors
must operate around violencecaused absenteeism and lack of
concentration.
Onl y when all of us
acknowledge domestic violence
for what it is—a crime—will the
abuse that so affects every part of
our lives cease.

Finally, a situation. You are offerred a job ''at the right price '' ,
one which you really want , but
they require drug testing before
and during employment. If you
are against drug testing, will you
stand-up for your principles or
sell your right to privacy? If you
favor testing, how would you feel
if a mistake is made and a positive
result ruins your shot at the job?
Joe Pugnetti

cessful philosopher , psychologist,
economist , or biologist? In all
these fields and others an
understanding of the subject is the
key to success.
If you are an academician this
"classroom knowledge" is the
same as practical application. For
it is certainly true of upper level
university courses that one is
pushed more into "practical application. " My point is twofold:
1. If you are really academically
oriented , "book knowledge" is
practical application. What do
professors , chemists , and
biologists do? They simply use
and manipulate their book
knowledge acquired in school .
2. Upper level courses force you
to apply knowledge. Cases in
point: independent studies ,
honors programs and application
courses .
Clearly, I'm not attacking the
entire article , only that one statement. A fallacy I've heard for a
long time is that people with high
cums who aren 't very social are
"book smart " but can 't apply
their knowledge to the "real
world. "
Let 's not put these people
down , Their world is academic .
A world in which a lot of those
with "common sense" wouldn 't
make it , and a lot of probably
wouldn 't want to.
But most of the academicians
wouldn 't want to be business people. No one is better or worse,
just different. Let's relax and appreciate the differences.

Fourth grade student poisoned by cocaine in classroom
by Nieson Himmel
Los Angeles Times

A fourth-grade student brought
a bag of rock cocaine , allegedly
prov ided b y his mother 's
boyfriend , to his classroom at a
Los Angeles elementary school
Monday and , while the teacher
was distracted , at least one child
ingested some of the substance
and later suffered convulsions ,
authorities said.
Several others prpils were examined by doctors , but none of
them appeared to have taken the
drug, Los Angeles schopl officials said .
A team of school district doctors and nurses were sent to Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary
School after the school' s nurse

reported s'nortly before noon that
several younsters had ' 'come into contact" with a suspicious,
powdery substance.
The substance was later officially identified as "rocks ," a
crystallized form of cocaine, and
several youngters were dept
under close observation for possible narcotics poisoning.
School district spokeswoman
Eva Hain said only one child , a
9-year-old boy who ingested
some of the drug , appeared to
have suffered ill effects. This
child , she said , was hospitalized
for a time after going into convulsions , but was later released .
Los Angeles police spokesman
Gmdr. William Booth said the cocaine was brought to class by a
9-year-old boy who told in-

vestigators he had been given the
drug over the weekend by his
mother 's live-in boy friend .
Booth said the boy friend had
asked the youngster to hide a
"baggie " containing about 20
"rocks" with a street value of
about $500 for him until he asked for it. Booth said the boy apparently "hid" the drug in his
knapsack and broug ht it to school
Monday .
Booth said it was his understanding that the baggie fell out of the
boy 's knapsack and was picked
up by the other children in the
classroom.
But school Principal L.M.
Jenkins said she was told that the
boy was sitting at a classroom
table with 10 other students , and
passed the bag around while the

teacher was occupied at a different table.
As the children passed it rom
hand to hand , she said , the bag
evedentiy was opened and at least
one child "sampled" the
substance. None of the other
children appeared to have
swallowed any of the drug,
school district officials said.
Jenkins said the teacher confiscated the bag as soon as she
noticed what was happening, and
notified the school nurse.
Booth said the boyfriend , Rory
Heidelberg, 22 , who lived with
the mother and child , was arrested and held in lieu of $5,000
bail after being booked on suspicion of furnishing narcotics to a
minor.

Mitrani Hall lighting equipment purchase

Grim added that he had no idea
how his company was added to
the list of companies sent bids for
the Bloomsburg University job .
' T did not request it and my boss
didn 't either. "
Grim said the only way he can
imagine BU getting his company 's name was through Petro .
"I' ve been involved with Petro
and there have only been one or
two bids at times. "
He added ,"Also, usually after
receiving a bid , you will receive
a call from a supplier with a
price. We never received a call. ''
An official from Mariano Construction said they were unable to
complete and return the bid .
Tom Wright , 34, a junior at
BU , was hired over the summer
as a visiting faculty to do the
design work for two summer
shows, performed at the Alvina
Krause Theater due to the renovations of Mitrani Hall.
"I don 't know where they got
the names of the companies that
were sent bids," said Wright , adding he had never heard of any
of them prior to this project.
Wright , who has been working
with the theater at BU for over a
year , said , "When we need to
rent li ghting equipment, we
usually go to Northeast Stage
Lighting, a contractor in Scranton. " He added there is another
company that they often rent
from , Syracuse Scenery of
Syracuse NY.
"I was surprised they did not
get a chance to bid ," said Wright.

THE SPECIFICATIONS

According to McCulloch ,
Petro was brought in over the
summer as an independent consultant to write up proposed
specifications for the purchase of
the equipment.
"The reason we used Petro on
the lighting and dimming is
because we have that type of
equipment in the McCormick
building and he was the contractor who installed it ," said
McCulloch. "We feel he is a
reputable contractor. "
A copy of the proposed
specifications for the purchase of
the equipment was given to
representatives of the theater
department who had been involved in the consultation with Petro .
In the first paragraph , on the
first page of the proposed
specifications given to the theater
representatives, the text reads,
'Provide a new dimmer and
lighting system to replace the present system and its accessories
with the latest design SCR
(Silicon Control Rectifier) equipment as manufactured by Electro
Controls , Kliegl or Strand
Century. '
Kliegl and Strand Century are
manufacturers of the same type
of equipment as Electro Controls.
The first page of the proposed
specifications was not included in
the final specifications .
In the specifications for the installation of the equipment, approved by McCulloch before being sent to Purchasing and part of
a separate contract that went to
Mariano Construction Co., Inc.,
the first paragraph reads, '..to install a new dimming and lighting
system to replace the present
system and its accessories with

Don McCulloch

the latest design SCR equipment
as manufactured by Electro Controls , Kliegl or Strand Century .'
Both the proposed specifications for the purchase of the
equipment and the specifications
for the installation of the equipment differ from the final
specifications for the purchase of
the equipment where the
manufacturer is first mentioned.
In the final specifications for
the purchase of the equipment,
also approved by McCulloch
before being sent to Purchasing,
the second paragraph on the first
page reads, 'The specified equipment is manufactured by Electro
Controls , Inc., of Salt Lake City, Utah... '
This differs from the other two
in that Kliegl and Strand Century
are not listed as equally possible
manufacturers of the equipment.
When asked why Kliegl and
Strand Century were eliminated
as equally possible manufacturers
in the final specifications for the
purchase of the equipment ,
McCulloch said no one was
eliminated.
In the same paragraph , it also
states that other manufacturers
may receive approval , but there
are requirements including:
— must have been engaged in
manufacture of similar theatrical
dimming equipment for at least
ten years
~ must submit the following ten
working days prior to the bid
date; two copies of the proposed
bill of materials, samples of the
proposed equi pment , and
verification of local sales
representation and a permanent
and fully assigned field service
force.
Petro received a communication from Electro Controls dated
6/20/86, over a month prior to
the mailing of the bids.
Rob Kunzler, an official of
Electro Controls in Salt Lake City, Utah , and the sender of the
communication, said , "The communication was a quotation , a
listing of the bill of materials that
Electro Controls will provide. "
When asked why Petro contacted Electro Controls in June,
McCulloch said, "I don 't know
that he did. "
'' Vou cannot write a priority
specification in the state, " said
McCulloch. "The only way to
get decent equipment in the state
is to specify very tightly . I would
specify down to the size of the
screws used to put something
together. "
McCulloch cited the use of Best
Locks across the university , intended so the university has one

continuous system of keys
throughout the buildings.
McCulloch added the equipment the college is purchasing
was recently installed in the Central Columbia School District as
a new system.
Kunzler added that the equipment currently on loan to BU is
at no rental charge. He added the
University paid for the shipping
of the loaned equipment. Arranged by Petro, "this was something
out of the ordinary for us ," said
Kunzler, adding the equipment is
usually rented.
Ken Fields, a representative of
Medlar Electric , speaking as an
installer , said , "The only problem we have had with Electro
Controls is delivery . "
Jerry Davis , of McManus
Enterprises, a supplier of dimming
systems located
in
Philadelphia , said , "In my opinion , Electro Controls is a lot
cheaper than Strand Century and
Kliegl and just as good. "
He added , "Kliegl and Strand
Century are more expensive
because they have a name, a
reputation and feel they should

added that the Electro Controls
equipment in the University
Forum and T.V. studio in
McCormick has been* breaking
down.
"When I worked the Easter
Seals Telethon , I noticed myself
they were having trouble with the
control board on the Electro Controls equipment ," said Wright.
He added , "I brought it up to
Petro about problems with the
Electro Controls equipment in the
University Forum. He (Petro) only said this system would not have
a patch panel. That was only part
of the problem. "
Wright added that Electro Controls equipment is currently being used in Mitrani and they are
having problems with it.
Dr. Marci Woodruff , a professor of the theater department ,
said , "Tom Wright's experience
at BU is not reflective of his total
experience with the technical end
of performance. He had been
around the business for many
years before we got him. " She
added that she defers to him on
a lot of things because "he knows
much more about the technical
area than I do. "
Patrick Barry , 20, a junior at
BU , is the master electrician for
One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's
Nest , being performed this week
in Mitrani Hall.
"The light control board for
the show , the use of which was
arranged by Petro , is a
demonstration model of Electro
Controls equipment," said Barry .
"It is almost the exact thing we
will be getting later this year. "
He added the equipment to arrive
will have a larger memory and a
few more features.
Barry said , "We have had problems with dimmer packs , the
devices which control the levels
of the lights. " He added the
lighting board does not work to
optimum levels. "You get this
stuff and expect it to work to 100
percent and it doesn 't. "

Advisement/scheduling for the
spring 1987 semester begins on
Oct. 13, 1986 and several
changes have occurred of which
the College of Business student
should be aware .
1. You must see your advisor
as there is now a 3-part preregistration form which must be
signed by the advisor.
2. The advisor will keep one
copy of the form in order to
verify upon request whether the
schedule you receive is the one
approved by your advisor.

3. Each form must carry the
official department stamp , p lus
the advisor 's signature. Otherwise, the Registrar's staff will not
allow you to register.
4. Seniors please note:
Automatic pink sli ps for
graduating seniors will not be
granted . You must pre-register.
Then , if some problem develops
which may delay your graduation , it shall be up to the student
to demonstrate that you fulfilled
your responsibilities by preregistering, etc .

Crippled Soviet sob sinks
from page 1
Gen. Richard A. Burpee , director of operations for the Joint
Chiefs , discussed the incident at
a Pentagon news conference.
They said that the submarine
managed to get under way on its
own power for a brief period after
surfacing. This was probably
done with an auxiliary engine.
Pictures taked by the U.S. aircraft showed the vault-like door
covering one of the missile tubes
ripped open , as if by a can
opener. Other damage was inflicted deep inside the submarine,
Navy officials said .
Noting that the missile door
had been "torn completely loose
and bent back like a pretzel ," the
Pentagon officials said that "the
force of the explosion was enormous when it came up through
that tube. So obviously the ship
had a very severe shock when that
explosion occurred. It may have
kicked some circuit breakers
open . It is also safe to assume that
the vessel was obviously taking
on a great deal of water.
"The damage to the submarine

is in the missile area ," The
briefers said , but they said they
were not sure what caused the explosion. The noted , however, that
the missiles aboard the submarine
were powered by liquid fuel ,
which is much more flammable
that the solid fuel of U.S.
submarine
The Pentagon officials said
U.S. forces had sampled the air
and water around the sub and
detectecd no sign of radioactivity as of Monday. They added that
two U.S. nuclear submarines
have sunk in the last two decades,
the Thresher and the Scorpion ,
and that in sampling the botton
and marine life around them ,
"we've had any detectable increase over the normal
background radiation. "
Officials at the Defense and State
departments said the Soviet
Union had the right to salvage the
submarine as long as it keeps one
of its shipss on the spot where it
sank. They gave no indication
whether the United States has any
interest in launching a salvage
operation.

Sheer stupidity

f o r Justice

Better left unnoticed

Don Chomiak
It 's the end of the third quarter.
The home team is down 17-10.
Unlike the week before , this time
'the team ' is not kicking the stuffings out of the opposition.
Last week' s game , a stunning
triump h , contrasts to this one in
that this game is going right down
to the wire .
Another difference is the sudden appearance in the stands of
an entire squad of superstars and
a whole league 's worth of supercoaches, commenting on how
they would have done this differentl y and that better.
Sitting directl y behind one trio
that combined the best of the armchair quarterbacks and the
morning-after coaches , 1 got to
sec 'the best ' in action.
Philli p, on the left , according
to himself , is the best running
back that ever put on pads at Collinsworth Jr. and Sr. Hi gh
School. He is 5'9" , 220 lbs., and
the fastest with a hotdog I have
ever seen.
"Did you see that?" he asks
the others , re ferring to a pass
dropped by a running back com-

ing out of the backfield. "I could
have done better than that ," he
adds , stuffing half of a hotdog into a body that has not done a
sprint or caught a ball , let alone
exercised , in five years.
The second sideline superstar
is Kevin , who sits on the other
end of the three. His past includes
a season as starting quarterback
for his hi gh school football team.
His is a history based solel y on
the fear of getting hit and actions
including throwing the ball away ,
diving to the turf , and running for
safety.
"Wh y doesn 't he stay in the
pocket?" asks Kevin to no one in
particular , forgetting not onl y his
own past , but the fact that the
quarterback , who is looking for
a receiver and try ing not to get
tackled , cannot sec all of the
players around him like Kevin
can.
S i t t i n g between the two
'legends in their own minds ' is
the biggest of them all . Bob
Bil ge , giving out obscene free advice to the coach on the sideline,
with the assistance of a rolled up
program. He has never put on a
uniform in his life and owes his
abilities to plenty of beer and
Monday Ni ght Football.
The game is over and 'the
team ' has again prevailed. This
is insp ite of the efforts and comments of the stup idity sitting in
the stands, a stupidity noticed and
not appreciated by the guys actually on the field.

Sergeant spoke Jo the Army ROTC last night in Presidents ' Lounge.

Inj ury strengthens man 's
commitment to United States
by Melissa Menapace ,
Staff Wriler

Sergeant Harrison Bell was
g iven a three million to one
chance of survival when he was
shot in the head in a Buddhist
cemetery in 1966. His inju ry and
other experiences in Vietnam will
be the basis for his talk when he
speaks on campus Oct. 8, in the
Presidents ' Lounge.
Major Veneski of the Army
ROTC says Bell was invited to
speak because , "He has the
reputation of being a fantastic ,
excellent speaker. "
Bell is now an information
specialist for the Pennsy lvania
Army National Guard , Department of Milita ry Affairs. He first
enlisted in the Army during the
Korean War , and was in the Vietnam War four seperate times
(1962 , 1965-66, 1970 and 1972).
Althoug h wounded each time ,
Bell savs he insisted on returning
to his unit because , "I thoug h it
was incumbent upon me to serv e
my country . "
Once , after being badly wounded at age 37, doctors told him he
would be sent back to the United
States. Bell slipped out of the
hospital and walked for three
days to get back to his unit.
"When I got back , my commander wanted to see me. He
was kind of upset that f was
AWOL from the hospital. I told
him that I should stay. There
were a lot of new troopers , and
I felt someone experienced should
help them survive. " He remained in Vietnam , but it wasn 't long
afterwards that Bell received a
wound that sent him home.
In January of 1966, his unit
was fig hting in a Buddhist
cemetery near Bong Son when
Bell tried to help a wounded man
from his platoon. "Someone
crawled out from behind a

grave , he says , "and he put a
gun to my head and pulled the
tri gger. I thoug ht , so this is what
it feels like to die. A black soldier
pulled me away . When I told him
to leave me there , he told me that
if I died , he died with me. Thai
man taught me a lot. "
Bell didn 't receive proper
medical treatment for that wound
until the next day . He and the
medic who treated him , who was
also wounded , were photogra phed and appeared on the cover of
Life magazine , February 1967.
It was his injury and recovery
that caused Bell to change his attitudes and strenghten his committment to the United States. It
taug ht him what he really valued
in life and helped him to be less
self-centered. Bell says , "U p to
that time I was what you could
call an agnostic; if a god was
there , fine. I didn 't care. " Bell
says that it v/as after he was shot
in the head that he began to
believe in God.
In October , 1979, Lite ran
another story on Bell in which he
said , "Vietnam gave me a sense
of sympath y for a fellowman 's
pain , a sense of responsibility for
the other guy, which I practice today. "
During his recovery , he decided to let people know about the
sacrifices he has seen and what
he has experienced in the
military . That is why he gives
speeches to school , church , civic
and military groups without
charge.
Bell says, "When I talk , I talk
about decency. I try to frame
everything with the attitude of not
judging others , unless you want
to be judged yourself. "
He says he wants to put the
military in perspective. "We are
not Rambo or John Wayne," Bell
says.

BU Players land safely in Cuckoo's Nest
^
by Jeff Cox
Theulrc Ri:viewer

One /'Yen' Over the Cuckoo 's
Nest by Dale Wasserman is a play
of near-legend proprtions. Add to
that a movie adaptation over 10
years ago of the novel by Ken
Kcsey that lias gathered a cult
following thai makes the movie
even today a favorite , and you
can guess what the Bloomsburg
Players have put themselves up
against in try ing to produce this
show on the Mitrani Hall stage.
While w li'. 't >. hc Players have
come up willi is certainl y not
legendary , they still manage to do
justice to this brilliant scri pt.
The actors could have tried too
hard to emulate the characters in
the movie , but that would have
been inappropriate , due to the differences in the scri pts.
What we see . Tor the most part ,
are characters Jiat blend well
togethe r ami de; 'attempt some
ori g inality.
If the show h: 'is one major problem , it is that of rh ythm. Their
are several awkward moments
due largel y to over pacing or
under pacing.
Specificall y, the scene where
the patients 'va '. ch the imag inary
baseball game seems rushed.
What is lacking in many scenes
is a savoring of the intended
effect.
However there were indeed
some fine moments on the BU
stage.
Jeffrey iviorgan , as the stuttering, shy Bill y Bibbil . and Patrick
Morgan , as the philosop hical but
insecure Dale Harding, are two
perfect examp les of actors who

Students can

—

i

understand their characters.
Morgan p lays Bill y 's innocence
and his eventuall y fatal strugg le
to free himself of his mother 's
pressures with the proper amount
of tenderness that makes Bill y a
touching character.
At the same time . Murphy has
to deal with a character that must
show a wide range of emotions ,
and Murp hy 's interpretation is
striking.
The princi ple difference between the play and the movie is
the role of Chief Brombden. In
the p lay , the Chief' s inner conflicts provide for the outgrowth
of the action , while he is onl y a
sideli g ht in the movie.
Steve Sunderlin , while not
physicall y ri ght for the part , (it
is hard to find a 6-10 Indian in
Bloomsburg that can act)
Sunderlin shows the very comp lex depth of thoug ht and
understanding of a difficult
character.
It was hard for the other actors
to justif y their lines about the
Chief' s size when most of the
other actors were as big as he.
A general comment for the major characters in Cuckoo 's Nest is
that they are all multidimensional . While Larry Murphy commands attention as the
catal ytic R.P. McMurph y with a
fiery stage presence , his portrayal
at times lacks understanding for
the motives of his character.
Murphy shows moments of
brilliance but at other times is
static. McMurph y is basically
"normal " but his purpose is to
convince the authorities of his insanity and to beat Nurse Hatched at her own game. This calls for

Protest f o r social justice

lied

be
the students and faculp
ty. "
On May 4, 1970, four students
died and ten were wounded in the
Kent State massacre. Shortly after
the tragedy, students wanted to
shut down class for the afternoon
and have a rall y protesting the
violation of the ri ghts of the Kent
State students involved . The vote
to close the college for the afternoon was to be determined by the
faculty , and they ruled against it.
Some professors even flunked
students if they did not atttend
their regularl y scheduled classes.
This
protest
outside
at
Bloomsburg included speakers ,
folk singers, students and some
members of the faculty . Hearings
were held to testif y to the
American Association of University Professors , try ing to come to
a conclusion of wh y the Kent
State massacre happened and how
the students ' rights were violated.
But protests and demonstrations remained peacefu l at
Bloomsburg . "There was no
violence at all in any political
rallies here on campus" said Percy, "and I' ve been here since
1965. "
There were small rallies held
in favor of professors who were
about to be fired because of their
positions on the war , an anti-war
rally in 1965 involving 400-500
students.
At the inauguration of Robert
J. Nossen who was named President of the College, there was a
protest because he fired faculty
for being anti-war, or for being

The first major student
upheaval was in 1964 when
students demonstrated against
policies such as curfew and social
conditions. Students occupied
Centennial Gym and were
threatened with expulsion from
the college for what was considered to be discriminatory and
capricious action on the part of
the college .
Bloomsburg State even had'an
underground college paper ,The
Gadfly. It organized rallies on
campus. Brasch says , "The
establishment press seldom takes
on social issues!"
Conclusively, Percey describes
opposition to rallies being ' 'The
problem is , when you 're different , they go afte r you!" He
also commented , "They were
great educational things: I'm
sorry they 're gone. Students who
were interested in the world and
what was going on. Now , it 's
pretty sad, students are here to get
their degrees!"
Demonstrations were an active
part of this campus and even if
neither side won , they stood up
for what they felt was right.

Robert Bogle, executive vicepresident of The Philadelphia
Tribune, the nation 's oldest black
community newspaper, spoke
Monday night about the effects
the media has on the world and
the need for objectivity in
writing.
Bogle addressed students and,
faculty at a reception in the
Forum of the McCormick Human
Services Building.
He emphasized the enormity of
the Tribune 's task in bringing information to the 800,000 blacks
who live in the city of
Philadel phia. "White papers
don 't talk about blacks , " he said.
"We are all different , yet we
are the same," Bogle said.

He urged writers to "have a
stronger sense of understanding .'' because, "nothing in our lives affects us more than the media. "
Bogle stressed how important it
Bogle further urged journalists
is that the media realize the impact they have on society and urg- to "write objectively. " "Give
ed all to open their eyes and see readers the best shot you can give
beyond their own sheltered lives , them ," he added.

Bogle 's experience with the
media began with his birth. He
was born into the publishing
business. His father worked for
The Philadelphia Tribune for 30
years.
He was raised in Yeadon , PA ,
a small town outside of
Philadelphia. One of 10 children
who all completed college, he attended Cheyney University
where he received a B.A. in urban studies. He owned a successful business until he sold it to
join the Tribune staff in 1970 as
a classified ad salesman. Bogle
then returned to school at the
University of Pennsylvania where
be earned an associate degree in
business.
While here he also spoke to the
Third World Students Organization , several journalism classes
and students at Central Columbia
High School .
Bogle 's plea to the media and
its readers is to , "Guard against
intolerance , avoid dislike and
learn to live together in peace and
harmony. "
His visit was sponsored by the
program in journalism.

The Readers Services Desk,
located in the Andruss Library ,
is available to assist students in
several areas.
The desk offers up-to-date
statistics , consultation in using
reference materials, and information for student speeches and projects. In addition to these services , students can also use the
state census records available
from the desk , to trace family
histories.
Many students who enter the
library know what they want , but
may not be searching efficiently
says Maureen Endres , librarian .
The service is also available to
faculty members and townspeople, although students use the services more often , says Endres.

Huskies top-rated passing game
to face tough Cheyney secondary
The Pennsy lvania Conference's top passing offense goes
against the leading pass defense
when Bloomsburg University
travels to Cheyney University for
a 1 :30 p.m. contest Saturday .
Strong-armed quaterback Jay
DeDea has passed for an average
of 291.3 yards in four games ,
helping Bloomsburg to three victories in four starts this season.
Meanwhile, a talented Cheyney
secondary has picked off 12
passes in five games and limited
opponent air attacks to just 95.4
yards per contest while recording
a 2-3 mark .
DeDea connected on 14 of 31
passes for 254 yard s and two
touchdowns as the Huskies
defeated East Stroudsburg 20-3.
A 74-yard scoring pass to wide
receiver Curtis Still on the opening play of the second half broke
a 3-3 tie , and a six-yard
touchdown toss to tight end Kevin
Grande in the fourth quarter put
the game away .
DeDea was also the club's top
rusher in the game with 59 yards
on 15 carries despite being sacked five times. For the season ,
DeDea has completed 78 of 164
passes for 1165 yards and six
touchdowns.
He has been intercepted nine
times.
Grande , who has led the team
in receptions in each of his first
three seasons, is the top receiver
again with 25 catches for 258
yards and two touchdowns.
The Huskies ' other tight end ,
John Rockmore , has 17 receptions for 287 yards and a
touchdown.
Wide receivers Curtis Still and
Ken Liebel each have 12 receptions with Still picking up 257
yards and Liebel credited with
124 yards.
Bloosmburg 's major threat on
the ground is running back Tom
Martin , a junior who has 193
yards on 43 carries for an average
of 4.5 yards per carry and three
touchdowns.

The Huskies successfully rebounded last week from a 44-7 loss to West Chester, by beating East Stroudsburg
University 20-3. They will try to establish a new winning streak Saturday as they travel to Cheyney University for a PC Eastern Division matchup.

Voice nhoto bv Michele Youne

Martin also returns kickoffs for
Coach Pete Adrian and is averaging 19.6 yard s per retu rn , just
behind fellow running back Tom
Futch's 19.7 average.
Kicker Chris Mingrone is the
Huskies ' leading scorer as he has
made 11 of 11 extra point kicks
and six of ten field goals for 29
points. Mingrone 's longest successful field goal has been from
41 yards.
Cheyney has a tradition of solid
defensive secondaries , and this
season is led by two juniors and
two sophomores.
Sophomore cornerback Reggie
Northrup leads the group with
three interceptions while juniors
Tony Moore and Darren Sunket ,
along with sophomore George
Powell , all have two interceptions
apiece.
The Wolves have allowed just
one touchdown via the pass this

Detroit 29 Green Bay 24
Neither of these teams have
been impressive. The Packers
(0-5) have potential but lack experience at quarterback. Meanwhile Detroit is coming off a win
against Houston in wich their
defense gave up over 300 yards
passing. Lions struggle to win
this one.
San Francisco 28 Minnesota 10
Minnesota is still feeling the effects of last week's loss to
Chicago . The 49er 's defense will

pressure Tommy Kramer , forcing costly turnovers .
N.Y. Giants 31 Philadelphia 10
The Eagle's luck runs out at the
same time the Giants find their
offense.
Tampa Bay 20 St. Louis 14
St. Louis' offense is too injuryplagued to mount an attack. Tampa Bay has played tight games
against the Rams and the Falcons,
only to lose in overtime. Steve
Young passes the Buccaneers to
victory.
Miami 24 Buffalo 20
Miami's defense stinks. I expect Dan Marino to bounce back
after two sluggish weeks. With
more maturing Buffalo could turn
the tide on the Dolphins.
Kansas City 31 Cleveland 23
Kansa City got ripped-off
against the Raiders last week .
Cleveland squeezed the Steelers
thanks to the special teams. Look
for Kansas City 's offense to get
back on track, while the Brown 's
don 't get so lucky.
Denver 31 San Diego 21
Denver made a strong showing
aginst the Cowboys last week.
San Diego couldn 't get its highflying offense off the ground
against the Seahawks Monday
night. Denver defense continues
to put the clamp on opposing
teams' offense.
Chicago 26 Houston 23
I sense an upset in the making.
Chicago is ripe for the picking .
Unfortunately, Hquston does not
have the offensive punch to pull
it off.
New Orleans 24 Indianapolis 18
The Saints have played both the

d&k

Giants and the Redskins in close
contests over the last two weeks.
The Colts don't have the talent in
the key positions. Watch for
Dave Wilson to pass New
Orleans to victory.
L.A. Raiders 17 Seattle 13
Tough defensive struggle. The
Raiders will find another new
way to pull off a victory from the
hands of defeat .
New England 23 N.Y. Jets 16
Key game for both teams. A
Jets victory could open up a two
game lead . Both starting quarterbacks are doubtful for the game.
I like veteran quarterback Steve
Grogan over New York 's backup Pat Ryan.
L.A. Rams 27 Atlanta 20
Atlanta looked like the Atlanta of old (4-12 in 1985) against
the Eagles. Watch Eric Dickerson and the Rams' ground game
chew up the clock and the
Falcon 's defense.
Washington 24 Dallas 13
I hoped that Dallas would
knock Washington from the
unbeaten ranks, but with quarterback Danny White on the
sidelines it becomes impossible.
Dallas ' defense keeps the
Cowboys in the game for as long
as they can.
Monday Night
Cincinnati 23 Pittsburgh 16
Low-scoring intra-division
match-up; Cincinnati has been inconsistent on offense , but at least
shows signs of life. Meanwhile
Pittsburgh's offense is averaging
only 13 points per game. The nod
goes to the Bengals.
