Zaccaro p leads innocent

Ferraro lashes out against charges
by Paul Moses

LA Times-Washington Post Service

Geraldine Ferraro lashed out at
Queens District Attorney John
Santucci Thursday for charging
her husband , John Zaccaro, with
trying to extort a payoff from a
company seeking a cable television franchise.
Zaccaro, a 53-year-old real
estate broker , pleaded innocent
Thursday to a three-count indictment charging that he worked
with the late Queens Borough
President Donald R. Manes to
solicit a bribe from Cablevisions
Corp., an unsuccessful bidder for
a cable television franchise in the
New York City borough of
Queens in 1981.
After a brief arraignment in
which Zaccaro was quickly
released without bail resrictions,
he and Ferraro held a news conference on the front steps of the
Queens Criminal Court Building.
In a clear , confident voice
reminiscent of her days on the

vice-presidential campaign trail ,
Ferraro told reporters that her
husband was indicted because
"poor John Santucci has been left
behind" while other prosecutors
pushed forward with political corruption cases against Queens
politicians.
Ferraro said that she had
testified before the grand jury .
And she discribed that Zaccaro
turned down an offer to get immunity from prosecution in return
for testimony against Queens Administrative Judge Francis X.
Smith, a close friend of the
couple.
"John refused to do so," she
said. "His response was 'I know
of no wrongdoing on their part.
I will not lie in order to save
myself from an indictment; I've
got to sleep at night. ' "
Prosectutors are considering
prejury charges against Smith
who , according to sources
familiar with the investigation,
was said to have helped introduce
Cablevision executives to Zac-

caro. Smith , who has denied
vr^ng doing, had no comment
Thursday on Ferraro 's remarks.
While they would not confirm the
specifics of Ferraro's claim,
sources familiar with the investigation said that it was not
unusual for immunity to be offered some people during the
course of investigation.
The news conference supported
what court papers had described
Wednesday as a bitter falling out
among longtime associates who
stand at the top of Democratic
politics in Queens. Ferraro 's
autobiography , published a year
ago, noted that Santucci was with
her when she kicked off her first
vice-presidential campaign trip in
1984. But Ferraro, a former
assistant district attorney under
Santucci , attacked him sharply
Thrusday as a publicity seeker.
' 'I am appalled by the action of
the district attorney, but not terribly surprised. Remember, I used to work for him," Ferraro
said. She added that former

Manhattan District Attorney
Frank Hogan "had a policy in his
office ... that you don 't ruin people's lives for the sake of politics.
I probably am anticipating that
Hogan is turning over in his grave
today ."
A spokesman for Santucci ,
Thomas McCarthy, responded by
saying that the grand jury investigating political corruption in
Queens has handed up a series of
"six or seven" indictments, with
all but Zaccaro's under seal. The
defendants in two sealed cases are
known - Jerome Driesen , a
witness cooperating with federal
authorities, and former Manes
political consultant Michael
Nussbaum.
"The reason she may be
unaware of these six or seven indictments is precisely that we
have not engaged in publicity ,"
McCarthy said, adding that Santucci had not held news conferences on any of the cases.
If convicted , Zaccaro faces up
to seven years in prison under
each of the two most serious
charges-bribe receiving in the second degree, in which he is
charged with seeking payoff , an
attempted grand larceny by extortion in the first degree. The third
count, attempted grand larceny
by extortion in the second degree,
is punishable by up to four years
in prison.
The indictment charges that on
Oct. 27 , 1981, Zaccaro solicited
a payoff from Cablevision attorney Richard Flynn , currently
chairman of the New York State
Power Authority . According to
sources familiar with the case, the
request for a $1 million payment
was rejected.
"Look at the motives of the
person whose testimony has
brought about the indictment ,"
Ferraro said Friday in apparent
reference to Flynn. "He had
never mentioned John Zaccaro's
name for five years, never mentioned it was John Zaccaro who
supposedly brought him an offer
until he got inside the grand jury.
Remember, he is a public official,
and perhaps he is also trying to
save himself his job. "

*Greek Is It may not
he 'it ' f or every one
Editorial
Why do people pledge fraternities and sororities? Many people offer different reasons , some
positive and some stereotypical.
But from most of the answers ,
there is an underl ying current of
the need to be accepted into a
group.
Overhearing one sorority sister
last week commenting on one of
her sorority 's rushees and how
she was not voting for the girl
because the girl wasn ' t the ri ght
type for the sorority, I was appalled to see that people will actual ly try to sell themselves to a
group because they feel this is the
way to be accepted
at
Bloomsburg University .
It is true that some people are
mature and secure enoug h to
know that pledg ing is not an act
of escapism, but another activi ty
in which to meet new peop le.
open a door to contacts and rorrr.
some long-lasting friendshi ps.
But there are those who believe
that rushing a sorority or fraternity is the most important thing

in the world and 'f. for wme
reason , they did not receive a bid ,
they are devastated.
"This narrow attitude says
something about our culture
today—if you are not accepted by
the right group, you are no one .
If you are a little different and the
"norm " doesn 't accept you , you
are labeled a nerd or different.
This attitude stinks and it forces
some young and insecure people
to do sometimes outrageously
stup id things in the name of
sisterhood or brotherhood .
On this campus, students can
pled ge as early as the second
semester of their freshmen year.
First of all. are these freshmen
reall y acclimated to college life
and all it has to offer? Second of
all . do they really know what a
fraternity or sorority is all about?
College is a place to develop
yourself personally, intellectually , socially , spirituall y and emotionall y. There is so much that
can hel p in this development.
Fraternities and sororities can
hel p in some areas of development, but they are not the answer

to every part of you that should
be developed while you are here
at BU.
There are stereotypes attached
to fraternities and sororities. We
all know brothers and sisters who
do not fit these stereotypes and
who actively try to break these
narrow views , but we also know
of brothers and sisters who just
keep reenforcing the reputations
over and over again. Do these
young peop le understand these
stereotypes and are they prepared
to deal with them when they are
confronted with them?
I am not anti-Greek. I have
some wonderful friends who are
sisters and brothers of various
fraternities and sororities. I just
wonder why people really pledge
and if they are being honest with
themselves about their reasoning.
I do believe students should be
at least sophomores before they
are allowed to pledge. I think this
change would allow students to
experience BU a little more and
make a better decision as to
whether or not Greek is really it
for them.

Green: liberal but not suicidal
by George Will

Editorial Columnist

NEW YORK-When the stars
wink out and another wan dawn
peeps through the particulate matter that makes Manhattan 's air so
flavorful , the sun 's rays bounce
off the tooth y smile of Mark
Green. Why is he smiling?
Green , 41 , a former colleague
of Ral p h Nader , is the
Democrats ' Senate n o m i e e
against incumbent Al D'Amato .
Immediate ly after Green won tha
late (September) primary . New
York' s cantankerous Mayor
Koch , a s e m i - c o n s e v a t i v e
Democrat , lavished praise on
D'Amato , who was pulled into
office in 1980 on Ronald
Reagan 's coattails. Since 1981.
D'Amato has campai gned like a
state legislator. As Green says.
D'Amato "has arrened every bar
mitzvah south of Mars. "
Green calls D'Amato a "6
o 'clock news senator " meaning
that D'Amato is nimble at leaping on the issue of the instant and
offering 20-second "sound
bites. " But Green hopes to beat
D'Amato on the 6 o'clock news .
Green does not have enoug h
money to advertise his views. He
will not take money from political
action committees-not that many
would offer it.
Liberal reforms passed in the
1970s prevent givers from giving
a Senate candidate more than
SI ,000. That limit especiall y
cri pples candidate s who win late
primaries. It helps incumbents,
who can raise money steadily for
six years. Liberal reformer Green
is another victim of liberal
reforms. D'Amato has raised
more than $7 million.
Green is hoping for $2 million.
True , in the primary he spent just
$800,000 and beat a millionaire
who spent $6 million. He says
"message neats mon ey. "
However , his message won
because New York' s Democratic
primary electorate is liberal. Is
New York?

Green says D'Amato is "a person of no consequence in the city results (Washington). " But
Green thinks of "consequence "
in term s of national reputation on
"progessive " issues , as exemp lified by such New York
senators as Wagner , Javits ,
Robert Kennedy, and Moynihan.
Green says D'Amato is onl y intersted in constituent service and
showering New York with pork .
To many ears , that charge does
not sound wounding.
Green 's optimism is grounded
in this fact: New York has never
elected a conservative senator in
a two-way race. James Buckley
won in 1970 running on the Conservative Party ticket against
liberals in the Democratic and
Republican tickets. D'Amato
won in 1980 by beating the incumbent Republican , Jacob
Javits , in the primary , then
beating a liberal Democrat b y 1
percent , getting just 45 percent.
He won by 80,000 votes while
Javits took 664 ,544 on the Liberal
Party ticket. In a two-person race ,
D'Amato would have lost.
But Reagan has carried New
York twice. How liberal is it?
Micheal Barone , the human encyclopedia who writes "The
Almanac of American Politics , "
says New York no longer has a
left-wing vote larger than that of
all other states. He says New
York may be 3 to 5 percentage
points Democratic than the national average , but notes that in
1980 John Anderson carried only 8 percent of New York—and
got even less (6 percent) in the
city .
New York pioneered the
welfare state and pushed it tobeyond , actually—the fiscal
limits. The worst excesses were
committed b y Republicans:
Nelson Rockefeller and John Linday . Today , Barone writes New
York 's basic constituencies have
a Democratic heritage but are
"displeased with the cultural
liberalism of Manhatta n and interested in disciplining and

preserving, but not expanding,
the welfare state that was
established for their forefathers. "
Green thinks his nomination
reveals tha resiliency of
liberalism. However , it may actuall y illustrate the pathology of
a party in spiraling decline.
In 1982 , more than 1 million
people voted in the. Democrat's
Senate primary . This year , fewer
than 500 ,000 did. As the
Democratic Party 's liberalism
causes many centrists to drift
away , the residue that dominates
primaries become more intensely liberal. So the drifting acclerates. If that is the significance
of Green 's nomination , it is a
grim portent for Democrats who
hope to make the party more
competitive in presidential
politics by nominating a centrist
like Virginia 's former Gov.
Chuck Robb or Arizona 's Gov.
Bruce Babbitt.
Until recently, New York did
not have primaries. Liberal
Rockefeller-style Repubicans opposed primaries because they
were afraid the unwashed
Republican masses would get out
of control and nominate conservatives like D'Amato . They did .
Now liberal Democrats have
nominated , in Green , a pure
specimen of an endangered
species-the undiluted liberal. He
is witty and articulate, but has less
than a month and less money than
he needs to tell New Yorkers how
liberal he is. And telling them
may be suicide.
Green is glad (but cannot say
so) that the Yankees and Mets are
not in a "subway series. " That
would prevent people from paying attention to politics for two
more weeks. He must be hoping
the Astros eliminate the distracting Mets , but he won 't say that .
He is liberal , but not that suicidal.

Soviet cruelties in Afghanistan

by Imtiaz AH Taj

Guest Columnist

It has been almost seven years
since the Soviet Invasion of
Afghanistan and the Soviets are
still there. One third of the total
population (about five million) is
in refuge in Pakistan and Iran ;
making it the largest concentration of refugees in the world; and
more than one million have been
killed. We seldom hear the news
about it because of the restriction
on journalists from the Karmal
government.
Does the Soviet Union have the
right to be in Afghanistan? More
importantl y, why are they still
there , and how has this holocaust
escaped the eyes of the world?
It happened just after Christmas
of 1979. Afghanistan 's President
Hafizullah Amin was overthrown
and subsequently executed in a
firepower of Soviet combat
troops. In Amin 's place Moscow
installed Babrak Karmal , a
former deputy /prime minister
long considered to be a Soviet
protege. This action of the Soviet
Union received outraged reaction
from the world;
The most direct impact fell on
Pakistan , whose territory has provided refuge for oyer th ree
million Afghan rebels.
Moscow claimed it intervened
only at the request of the Karmal
government under a term of a
20-year friendship treaty , signed
in December of 1978. The Russians made no attempt to disguise
the fact that the airlift began 2
days before the coup that brought
Karmal to power.
Karen McKay is an American
journalist , who after a visit to a
refugee camp in Pakistan wrote :
"Her name was Sabra . She
was about four years old , hungry
and scared. I took some candy
from my pocket and held it out
to her. She gazed at me. Gently,
I reached down for her thin , tiny
wrist to put the candy in her hand .
Her fingers were gone!
Then the veil fell away fro m
her head , where it had halfhidden her tiny, delicate face.
The left side of her head was
burned away ; no hair , no scalp.
And on her left eye- her beautiful ,
big, doe eye- was a great , ugly
white mass on the iris and pupil. "
" T thought it was a bird , a toy
bird .' she explained. The Russians left toys scattered all over
the village for the children to pick
up. It exploded in her hands, tearing off her fingers and setting her
on fire.
Another journalist on a visit to
a refugee camp in Pakistan saw
a seven year old boy named
Nabab. Nabab 's hands were
blown off under the elbow. The
child explained : "One morning a
Soviet helicopter flew over my
village dropping pretty toys, and
trinkets on the ground , little
trucks , fountain pens , cigarette
lighters , green plastic leaves , I
liked the butterfly. It was too late
when I realized it wasn 't a 'toy ';
it was a bomb that exploded in my
hands. "
There are thousands of children
like Sabra and Nabab , children
with no hands , no feet , no eyes ,
even no faces because the Soviets
sent them 'toys '. Now , one has
to ask themselves what kind of
people make bombs especially intended to disable and mutilate
children?

In a report to the United Nations , Felix Ermaccora , a retired
Austrian diplomat who was ap*
pointed by the chairman of the
U.N. Commission of Human
Rights , says:
-The Soviet-controlled government of Babrak Karmal is holding
perhaps
50 ,000
political
prisoners . Tortu re of these and
other detainees is common.
Methods of torture include: the
use of electric shocks applied to
men 's genitals and women 's
breasts; tearing out fingernails;
and various forms of degredation
involving human wastes, plus
rape and other types of sexual
abuse of women.
Execution is common, by
some estimates more than 21 ,000
political prisoners have been executed since December , 1979.
In an attack on the village of
Padkhab-e-Shana in Logar province on Sept. 13, 1982, Soviet
troops burned alive about 105
civilians , who had taken refuge
in an under ground irrigation
channel. On Oct. 12, 1982
Soviet/Afghan forces massacred
360 civilians in Kandahar province. In March 1984 several
hundred civilians were massacred
in the Kohistan region.
There is much , much more in
Ermacora 's report , including
specific
allegations
of
Soviet/Afghan use of lethal
chemical weapons. He estimate s
that 80 percent of Af ghanistan 's
educated class have been imprisoned , killed, or fled the country. In all, over 5 million Afghans
are refugees in Pakistan and Iran,
with smaller numbers going to
Western Europe and the United
States.
The evidence amassed by Ermacora led up to an indictment of
the Soviet Union for that amount
to deliberate extermination of an
entire nation. Yet, its release last
year evoked little more than shrug
in the United States, and a
deafening
silence almost
everywhere else. Where such
wickedness being committed on
by any third world countries , or
even the United States or Western
European countries , no day
should pass without violent protests around the world.
Yet the Soviets butcher and kill
at will in Afghanistan with hard ly a murmur of objection from the
great capitals of the world. Can
it be that Soviet power and arrogance are so intimidating as to
dampen indignationover the most
barbarous crime?
Jerry Laber and Halsinki
Watch , wrote in the New York
Times , on Nov . 22 , 1984 that :
"Two men , brothers , from
Mata , aged 90 and 95, and blind
stayed behind when the rest of the
villagers fled during spring 84's
offensive. Russians came, tied
dynamite to their backs, and blew
them up. "
"Civilians are burned alive ,
blown up by dynamite, beheaded, bound and forced to lie down
on the road to be crushed by
Sov iet tanks. "
Grenades .u c inrown into rooms
wiiere women and children have
been told to wait. Mothers are
forced to watch their infants being given electric shocks A
young woman vho has been tortured in prison described how she
and others had been forced to
stand in water that had been
treated with chemicals, which

made the skin come off their
feet. "
I can go on and on , right now
there is something akin to a
holocaust taking p lace in
Af ghanistan. The systematic
destruction of villages and the
murder of all their inhabitants
precisely parallel to the infamous
Nazi atrocity at Lidice. Neutral
observers , are unanimous in concluding that the Soviets are literally destroy ing rural Afghanistanemptying it of its own population
and starving those who remain.
The Soviets are , for all intents
destroying
and purposes ,
Afghanistan. Unless they are
stopped it will cease to exist and
will become a Soviet Rupublic in
every thing but name.
Once people learned of the
holocaust, no one denied how evil
the Nazis were. Today on the
other hand , despite all we know
about Afghanistan and the Soviet
atrocities, calling the Soviets evil
is to be considered a ' 'cold warrior , a 'reactionary .
How many more human beings
will the Soviets have to burn
alive? How many more children
will lose their hands and feet?
How many more tens of millions
will they have to murder? How
many more women will lose their
honor , before Soviet cruelity
becomes the primary item on the
agenda of people who care about
people?
In the mean time however , if
you ever wondered how good
people can ignore a holocaust ,
open your eyes , look around and
think!

To the Editor
Overplayed pra nk
Dear Editor ,
It was late Sunday night , and
I was walking back to my dorm
after a long study session with a
friend for a Monday morning exam , when I observed a large
group of guys gathered in front
of Schuykill Hall.
Being curious , I decided to
watch them from a distance. In
progress was one of the oldest ,
and most popular practical jokes
of colleges nationwide: one guy
had a loathesome mask on with
a black overcoat and other dark
clothes , and was proceeding to
knock on li ghted windows and
scare whoever pulled back the
curtain.
It was an extremely funny sight
as they proceeded to Lycoming
Hall and then to Elwell Hall.
In any case, somebody complained to Law Enforcement and
I quickly melted into the shadows
as they approached the offenders .
The entire group was issued
verbal warnings and escorted to

new countertops and shower partitions in its bathrooms , the
driveway in front of Columbia
will be widened either late this
fall or early spring, and Luzerne
will be completely renovated this
summer depending on what needs
to be done.
All of these renovations are
funded by the Residence Life
Department. Residence Life
works in cooperation with the
Maintenance Department through

Kresch basically keeps track of
the ongoing maintenance and
repairs needed in the residence
halls and aids in the decision
making of what should be done

problems.
According
to
Kresch ,
maintenance of the buildings is
done in the interest of the students
and benefits the University as a
whole.

Golder was presented a

years, he served as an alumni
representative on the university 's
planning commission.

Bloomsburg University 's

more work will be done in the
near future .
Major renovations took place
in North Hall this summer due to
it becoming a coed hall . Beginning in mid-July, North was repainted , new bathroom floor tiles
were laid , and new shower partitions were put up.
These particular job s were only the beginning of more extensive maintenance that was done
in North. Work was also done on
the second floor bathrooms to
make them more suitable for
women to use.
Other buildings have also had
some maintenance work done.
Montour and Luzerne had their

Eyecare
looks
appealing

All a part, not apart

Don Chomiak
Standing on the summit of the
animal kingdom , Man looks
down upon the remainder , a
monarch 'too pretty ' to stand
among his subjects .
Able to see the primitive nature
of the rest, he balks at the thought
that he, though his fur may be less
thick and his teeth less canine , is
simply a member of the kingdom.
His language allows him the
privilege of communicating with
other members of his kind, but he
remains deaf to the primitive side
of his being, an optimist in a
nuclear disaster.
Wishing to forget his origins
and often his motives, he labels
his non-positive characteristics
downfalls or vices. Viciousness.
savagery , and other such things
are termed inhumane and
animalistic. Man pretends his
baser nature is beneath him and
not his own.
Jealousy is such a "vice. " The
wish to have or do what encom-

passes the life of another is as
basic to the human condition as
having to use the bathroom very
badly. Being successful in dealing with both requires strength,
endurance, and occasionally ,
character.
A multi-headed monster ,
jealousy says "Nice to know
you " much like sewage on a
warm summer day . Backbiting ,
malicious criticism, spoiler tactics, insults, and other such barbs
make up the aroma of man's
jealousy .
Such methods and their
motives are looked upon as petty
and beneath the dignity of man ,
though he is a creature barely
risen from the primordial swamp.
Often times masked in an attempted intellectual attack ,
jealousy rises through the thin oily film of thought, a stench lacking reason or equal.
Answerable only with silence,
it is left to fester alone.
Jealousy vaults to new heights
in the hands of those lacking any
confidence in their own value.
Bankrupt in a world of soaring
personal costs, these individuals
sink into a bog of the stenchridden swill that encompasses the
primate in us all, animalisticly attacking with whatever they can
find to throw , no matter how
reaching the attack may be.

PMS drug discovered

by Paul Berg

LA-Times Washington Post Service

A drug has proven effective in
the treatment of some symptoms
of premenstrual syndrome ,
Austrailian doctors report.
The drug, mefanamic acid , has
been used for women with difficult menstrual periods , Dr.
Michael Mira and his colleagues
at the University of Sydn report
in the journal Obstetrics and
Gynecology . But the value of
mefanamic acid , a non-steroidal
anti-fiammatory medicine, like
that of other drugs used for PMS,

had never before been proven.
There is no general agreement
on the exact definition of
premenstrual syndrome, but its
symptoms include fatigue ,
headache and mood swings, including sadness, irratability and
a sense of pessimism.
In the 15 women given
mefanamic acid , all of the
psychological symptoms and
many of the physical symptoms
were reduced or eliminated, the
researchers found . The women
took the drug for 12 days before
and 3 days after the start of their

'Mercury ' Morris spoke about drug abuse last tuesday night. Voice photo by A. Schlllemans

Drug p roblems and answers begin within

by Denise Savidge
Staff Writer

*

Eugene Edward Morris, better
known as "Mercury " Morris ,
spoke about drugs Tuesday evening in Mitrani Hall. He says,
' 'The use of drugs in any form is
like a three ring circus : the
engagement ring, the wedding
ring, and the suffering. "
Morris , a well known exfootball player of the Miami
Dolphins , was arrested in 1982
on charges of conspiracy and trafficking in cocaine. He was tried
and convicted and spent three and
one-half years in prison.

But that is all behind him now
he says. He is currendy lecturing
to college and high school
students, not about the evils of
drugs, but rather on the conscious
awareness of the self.
Morris believes the drug problem in America has nothing to
do with the drugs, but it is with
the people. He is working to
show that not only does'the problem lie in the self , but so does
the solution.
He also argues that drug abuse
is not aptly titled . "When there
is child abuse, who suffers? A
child. When there is drug abuse,
who suffers? A drug? No. It

should be called self-abuse. "
"We shouldn 't be worrying
about the drug, we should be caring a'bout the person ," he says.
He criticizes the Reagan administration for focusing on trying to eliminate the drug traffic
instead of helping the drug users.
"I understand what they're trying to do, but they're going about
it the wrong way. These people
aren't all criminals. Alcohol is a
drug, and it's legal. We shouldn't
be pointing our fingers at selfabusers; we should be putting our
arms around them and showing
them the answers to stopping are
within themselves!"

perience with professionals ,"
says Brennan. An internship provides a merging of academic
background and applied work experience in an industrial ,
business , government , or
academic environment which is
supervised. .
BU now has on-going intern- ,,
ships with several industries, and
for these programs it is not
necessary for a student to make
up a job description of responsibilities. It 's already known ex-

actly what the student will be
doing.
When students procure their
own internships , which occurs in
half the situations , they must
write up a job description. The
department then evaluates it.
Students interested must meet
certain requirements . They must
have completed at least 80 credit
hours of study, and have at least
a 2.75 cumulative average, as
well as appropriate course work.

The commonly held belief that
a little alcohol loosens up the
muscles and in that prevents
serious injury in automobile accidents is myth , a new study
concludes.
To the contrary, when speed
and severity of the accidents were
taken into account, drinkers were
2.25 times as likely to die as were
non-drinkers , according to
Dr. Patricia F. Waller of the
University of North Carolina
School of Public Health.
In another comparison , which
accounted for driver age , car
wei ght and seat belt use ,
"alcohol-involved drivers were
found to have serious and fatal injury rates that were 1.73 to 2.09
times as high" as non-drinkers ,
Waller says in the current Jour\ nal of the American Medical
|Association.
Studies have shown that
alcohol makes animals more
I vulnerable to certain types of injury, including head and spinal
cord injuries. However, such a
relationship has never been
jj demonstrated in humans, Waller
I and her colleagues report. The
| study examined data from five
V. years of auto accidents in North
v Carolona, including information
| on more than 1 million drivers.

Bloom Vision Center , a new
family eye care business gives
Bloomsburg students and the
community a choice to receive
maximum eye care at a minimum
price. Through the hard work of
the husband and wife team of optometrists, Dr. Laurie Costarelli
and Dr. Nick Drobny, a 102 year
old Victorian house, located at
301 East Street, has become their
comfortable home as well as an
efficient and affordable eye care
center for the community.
Costarelli and Drobny say they
believe that Bloomsburg is a great
choice for them to start their
business. Bloomsburg 's- atmosphere agrees with their
lifestyle; it allows them to achieve
a respected business and make
friends.
Drobny , who also worked as a
contractor at one time, worked 14
months on the house to make it
energy efficient, practice efficient
and attractive to the community .
Drobny added that he is "excited about the center all of the
time. By doing it yourself , you
motivate yourself. "
Both Costarelli and Drobny say
have they have worked for the
"fast foods " of eye care. These
are the places that are interested
in the money, but not overall eye
care treatment.
At Bloom Vision Center, they
make follow-up care possible by
including it in the rates.
The comfort and care of each
individual coming to Bloom Vision Center is essential to
Costarelli & Drobny , they say.
Appointments last an hour to give
the doctors time to check for
glaucoma, hypertension, and
other problems often overlooked.
Also, exams at Bloom Vision
Center cost considerably less than
the same exams at other facilities.
Bloom Vision Center's regular
hours are Monday thru Thursday
from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,
with emergency hours at anytime.

Boston released a second album

all this time, though , the 1986

songs. The lyrics may mostly
deal in pat terms with a journey
toward love and fulfillment , but
the music is so grandoise one
figures the songs must have real
import.
Most of the time , though , they
do not. This is grandeur in search
of a catchy melody or a probing
lyric or a good rock 'n ' roll riff
or something, but most of the
time the grandeur has to go it
alone. Scholz , it seems, spent so
much time figuring out how to
make his guitars sound like
violins or chimes or synthesizers
that he forgot the rock basics.
A couple of questions: Did
Boston really need eight years to
come up with an album that
sounds about as current and timely as "More Than a Feeling "?
And is this progress?

Unlike many previous studies
of PMS drugs , the reseachers
say, this one was double-blind,
meaning that neither doctor nor
patient knew whether a real drug
or a placebo was being administered. This is done to
separate a drug's real effect from
the "placebo effect " which occurs when a patient believes a
drug is going to work.
In the case of PMS, the doctors
said , "a placebo response of up
to 70 percent may be expected. ''
THE FAR SIDE

The fortunes of Bloomsburg
football have varied over the
years , with recent memory
revealing disappointing records in
the seventies and improving and
excellent records in the eighties.
Today , Bloomsburg plays a
number of Pennsylvania Conference teams every year with occasional games outside the conference. The season is well
organized and each game is well
controlled .
however ,
Years
ago ,
Bloomsburg played a mixed
schedule of state schools, private
colleges, college junior varsity
and freshmen squads , high
schools , and prep schools.
In the twenties, Bloomsburg
was still playing schedules that included Wyoming Seminary ,
Dickinson Seminary, Pottsville
High School, Northumberland
High School, Bucknell University
Junior Varsity , Mount Carmel
High School , Penn State
freshmen (a loss , 78-0) ,
Bellefonte Academy, and Pittston
High School.
Typical were two Saturdays in
1910 when Bloomsburg State
Normal School lost to Lafayette
College in the first game and tied
Sunbury High School in the next.

in "running up 31 points to 0 in
four eight-minute quarters." «
Although Bloomsburg tied
Sunbury High School, it was
worse than the previous Saturday
because the team quit in the third
quarter.
One observer said, "If the
referee knew the rules he gave no
indication of the fact" and "the
crowd swarmed on the field.. .and
occasionally took a crack at the
members of the Normal team."
Then the hostile Sunbury
crowd followed the Bloomsburg
team from the field to the Sunbury hotel where "town officials
advised them to get out of town
by leaving the hotel by the back
door and running through the
alleys."
One game official later remarked that "the whole affair was a
farce and...that under no circumstances was Normal to have
a chance to win. "
As we continue through the
1986 football season with
Bloomsburg University, we know
that there will be no Lafayette
College or Sunbury High School
on the schedule and we can expect no running through back
alleys to escape hordes of hostile
rival fans.

Final: 39-14

Huskies tame Wolves
by Ted Kistler
Sports Editor

The Bloomsburg University
Huskies ' Pennsy lvania State
Athletic Conference (PSAC)
record stands at 2-1 (4-1 overall)
following Saturday's 39-14 trouncing of Cheyney University .
A high-powered Husky offense
faced the conference 's numberone ranked pass defense of the
Wolves , who now are 1-2 in the
conference.
BU' s Jay DeDea connected on
14 of 35 passes for 151 yards and
three touchdowns. The Husky offense showed balance , accumulating 180 yards passing and
187 yard s rushing.
Behind the arm of Rob Lewis,
Cheyney was unable to move the
ball. Andrew Williams came off
the bench in the fourth quarter to
complete seven of nine passes for
104 yards and to engineer two
touchdown drives.
In the first quarter , Kevin
Grande caught a 15-yard DeDea
pass to take the lead . Chris
Mingrone posted the extra point
to set the score at 7-0. The
Wolves never came any closer to
catching the Huskies. The quarter
ended 10-0 following a Mingrone
32-yard field goal.

Cheyney 's offense remained
unproductive in the second
quarter. The Huskies were slowed down by the Wolves' numberone pass defense and were unable
to stretch their lead. The half ended 10-0.
BU came alive once more in
the third quarter as they scored
22 unanswered ponts .
Ken Liebel caught a seven-yard
toss from DeDea, to bring the
score to 16-0. Mingrone (3-2 on
extra point attempts for the day)
missed the extra point.
Tom Martin scored on a threeyard run , but , once again ,
Mingrone 's extra point attempt
was off. Mingrone then connected on a 27-yard field goal.
BU finished the quarter scoring
with another DeDea touchdown
pass to stretch its lead to 32-0.
In the fourth quarter , Williams
replaced Lewis for Cheyney and
guided the Wolves for two scoring drives. The Wolves capped
their first scoring drive with a
Ben Frazier rushing effort from
two yards out. The Wolves tried
for the two-point conversion , but
were stopped by a tough BU
defense.
The Huskies responded with a
Paul Venesky to Jeff Bolles
13-yard pass. Mingrone's extra
point attempt was on the money

^nd BU stretched their lead to
39 '.
The Wolves again found the
end zone as Wiliams hit Norm
Trawick with a 24-yard pass.
Cheyney attempted the conversion , calling Frazier 's numbers.
Frazier took it in for the final
score of the game.

Game Notes:
Jake Williams led the Husky
defense with 1 interception, 3
fumble recoveries and three
tackles (2 unassisted). He was
named the Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference 's (ECAC)
'D efensive Player of the We ek '.
Tom Martin had 28 carriesfor
140 yardsand was named to the
ECAC Honor Roll.
Cheyney 's leading rusher had
only 26 total yards.

p assing yardages of 180 yards
each .

times for 100 yards.

Field hockey ranked second
by Elizabeth Dacey
News Editor

The Bloomsburg University
field hockey team didn 't let the
news of their second place ranking in the latest NCAA Division
III Field Hockey Poll go to their
heads. Friday they shut down the
East Stroudsburg Warriors 4-0,
and Saturd ay defeated the Kutztown Golden Bears 5-1.
Friday 's game against East
Stroudsburg was a rematch due
to an earlier rained out date . The
Warriors , 5-5-2 , were immediately put on the defense as
BU' s Donna Graupp rolled one
in two minutes into the game. The
assist was from Kate Denneny .
The first half remained in the
Huskies control as Maureen Duffy shot a drive in off an assist by
Cindy Daeche and Graupp later
scored again unassisted. Carla

Shearer concluded the scoring
with the Huskies fourth goal ten
minutes before the first half ended. Kim Fey had the assist on that
drive.
Bloomsburg outshot East
Stroudsburg 35 shots on goal to
three and had 19 penalty corners
while the Warriors only managed to get one.
Saturday , BU took on the Kutztown Golden Bears , 7-4. Kutztown is ranked 10th in the same
NCAA Division III poll. The
Huskies defeated them 5-1.
BU' s Lynn Hurst struck first
from outside the circle off a pass
from Shearer. She was successful
again ten minutes later with an
unassisted goal.
The Bears didn't give up as
Joanne Rogers drove one in at
30:05 into the first half for Kutztown 's only goal. The Huskies
struck back 25 seconds later on

a play that must have added a little finesse to the game itself.
Shearer scooped the ball off the
endline from the right side of the
goalcage. As the ball drifted
down to land in front of the goal,
Denneny came in from the left
and batted the drive in like a
baseball. BU's Lynn Hurst, link,
said , "We were all really excited
to see a play like that work so
well. "
The Huskies kept the spirit up
as Shearer scored twice in the second half on penalty corners off
endline passes from Denneny .
Kutztown gave BU its best
game yet as they tied the Huskies
in penalty corners 10-10 and were
only outshot by 18 drives. Kutztown also penetrated enough to
force nine saves off Husky goalie
Lori Guitson.

team from going to the Super
Bowl . ...They just aren 't implementing it very well. "
On the other hand , Finks said ,
"It 's been a comedy of errors.
We've tinkered with the game
pretty consistently over the last 10
years. This is beyond tinkering,
though. It's having a dramatic effect on the game itself and it
wasn 't intended for that. "
Philadelphia Eagles owner
Norman Braman said he fears
crowd reaction if the replay official overturned a play at the end
of a game and it costs the home
team a victory . "Maybe I' m
somewhat overalarmed at the
possibility ," Braman said , "But
we know the increased difficulty
in controlling crowd decorum."
Modell , Braman and Cooke
were among the 23 league owners
who voted in favor of instituting
the replays this season (21 votes
were required for passage) .
Only St. Louis, Denver and the
New York Jets and Giants voted
last March against use of the
replays; Pittsburgh abstained.
Said Steelers President Dan
Rooney , "Our coach , Chuck
Noll , was on the committee that
made the recommendation and
we wouldn 't vote against him. "
Since the instant replay is
scheduled as an "update" issue
for Tuesday 's meeting, if a vote
to abort the program is taken , it
would take a 28-0 count to end
it , according to Rozelle.
"No way we'll drop it this
year," Modell said. "We'd look
worse if we dropped it now. "
Braman and Finks said that if
Art McNally, supervisor of
league officials, remains on favor
of the replays, so will they .
McNally said, "Certainly we've
had problems. Nevertheless, I
feel that we can get those ironed
out. I believe that this is definitely
good for the game."
The opponents have been given
fuel for their anti-replay fire. "I
don 't really want to comment on
it ," the Steelers' Rooney said ,
"because I don 't want to say , I
told you so."
Denver Broncos owner Pat

Bowlen said, "The reason I voted
against it , and I don 't mean to
try to sound so smart , is for the
exact reasons that it is now being
criticized . It 's almost creating
more problems than it is solving,
in my mind ."
Contraiy to popular belief , die
replays are not extending appreciably the length of games.
The average length of games this
season has been 3:11:03 compared with 3:10:06 last season
and 3:11 in 1984, according to an
NFL spokesman .
All the foul-ups have left Dallas
Cowboys
President
Tex
Schramm, considered the most
fervent supporter of the replays,
backed into a corner , but still
defending his cause. Schramm
said communications breakdowns
in the system haven 't caused any
correct calls mistakenly to be
reversed , but have prevented
some incorrect calls from being
rectified.
"There have been errors of
omission," said Schramm, "so
nobodv 's been hurt. "

If Ryan had intended to prove
something with the brush-back
pitch , it certainly had no negative
affect on the Met ballclub. "It

Strawberry said . "You never

So with the series tied at one
apiece, the two teams traveled to
New York, where they staged a
most exciting game before over

In classic fashion, the eventual

In the sixth inning, batting

The two little men, Dykstra ,
