AROTC may leave
Bloomsburg soon
by Scott Davis

Staff Writer

Problems at Bloomsburg
University may force the Army
Reserve Officers Training Corps
(ROTC) off campus, according to
Dave Everett , the Army ROTC
commanding
o fficer
at
Bloomsburg University .
Everett cites a lack of financial
and moral support may force the
Army ROTC to leave campus as
of Dec. 1, 1986.
He add^d that there is a
possibility of them staying on for
the remainder of the fall
semester , but the U.S. government will want them out unless
the university gives them more
financial and moral support.
Sheryl Bryson , the head of
University Relations said , "It is
not true that the ROTC is moving off campus. ''
Delbert Roll , another member
of Army ROTC , said , "The
ROTC needs the kind of moral

support that the football or
baseball team receives. "
He added there are about 50
people in the program now.
Andrew Whittak , first squad
leader , said there is no danger at
this time.
He added the Army has told the
univers ity they need more office
space and the university may not
be able to give it. He said if the
need for funding and better
facilities is met , they will stay . If
not , Whittak added , the Army is
not sure what steps will be taken.
"They (Army) had been talking about it (leaving) for several
years, " said Dr. Jerrold Griffis,
vice president for Student Life.
"The only responsibility of the
university is to provide space for
them to operate ," said Bryson.
"The ROTC is suffering growing pains , as are many organizations on campus. The college is
try ing to find more space. That 's
all the university is responsible
for. "

CIA involved with Iran seven years
by Bob Woodward

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-The Reagan
administration 's secret overtures
and arms shipments to Iran are
part of a seven-year-long pattern
of covert Central Intelligence
Agency operations , some dating
back to the Carter administration ,
that were designed both to curry
favor with the . regime of
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
and support Iranian exiles who
seek to overthrow it, according to
informed sources.
In 1983, for example, the CIA
participated in a secret operation
to provide a list of Soviet KGB
agents
and
collaborators

operating in Iran to the Khomeini
regime, which then executed up
to 200 suspects and closed down
the communist Tudeh party in
Iran , actions that dealt a major
blow to KGB operations and
Soviet influence there , the
sources said.
Khomeini also expelled 18
Soviet diplomats, imprisoned the
Tudeh party leaders and publicly thanked God for "the miracle"
leading to the arrests of the
"treasonous leaders ."
At the same time , secret
presidential intelligence orders ,
called "findings," authorized the
CIA to support Iranian exiles opposed to the Khomeini regime ,
the sources said .

These included providing nearly $6 million to the main Iranian
exile movement , financing an
anti-Khomeini exile group radio
station in Egypt and supply ing a
miniaturized television transmitter for an 11 -minute clandestive
broadcast tb lrah two months ago
by Reza Pahlavi , the son of the
late Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi , who vowed , "I will
return. "
One well-placed intelligence
source said that this support of the
anti-Khomeini exile movement is
"just one level above (intelli gence) collection ," and that
the money involved was
equivalent to the "walkingaround money " frequentl y
distributed in American political
campaigns.
Administration officials stressed that the CIA operations are not

intended to bring about Khomeini' s downfall but are aimed
primarily at obtaining intelli gence
about his regime through the exile groups.
The White House and administration spokesmen declined
to comment on these CIA
operations.
Vice Adm. John M. Poindexter , the president 's national
security affairs adviser , told a
television interviewer Sunday that
"I don 't want to confirm or deny
any other operations " and added that "we aren 't seeking the
overthrow of the Khomeini
regime. "
Press and broadcast reports
from Iran have repeatedly accused the U.S. government of backing anti-Khomeini exile activities.
Informed sources said that the
Khomeini regime knows many of

the details of the CIA operations
because it has agents inside the
Iranian exile groups.
Some of the Iranian exiles in
Paris said it is well-known within
their groups that they have received CIA money . Sources also said
that some of the CIA money was
used to speculate in currency
markets in Switzerland.
Administration sources said
that all CIA programs concerning Ira n have been designed with
several objectives: to build
brid ges to potential Iranian
leaders , to use the exiles for information about what is happening in Iran , to develop independent intelli gence sources , to win
friends , to diminish Soviet influence and to keep pressure on
the Khomeini reg ime by
demonstrating that the exile and

reshape the issue to minimize the
damage to U.S. efforts to isolate
nations supporting terrorism.
After years of urg ing the rest
of the world to refuse to deal with
terrorists or the states that back
them, the administration was embarassed by disclosures that the
White House had authorized
weapons shipments to Iran that
coincided with the release of three
U.S. hostages by Iranianinfluenced kidnappers
in
Lebanon.
"Obviously, this will make it
a lot more difficult to impose
economic sanctions (against states
supporting terrorrism) ," the official said. "The feeling is that we
would be whistling in the wind
right now if we press for concerted actions against Syria. "
The administration imposed
sanctions against Syria last week
in response to evidence introduced in British courts implicating
the Damascus regime in an
aborted p lot to bomb an Israeli
airliner carry ing more than 200
Americans.
"Schultz is try ing to close the
door in the arms sale and get back
to business," the official said.
"This does not eliminate the need
for close cooperation on security measures and deterrence. "
"There are aspects of antiterrorism programs that have
nothing to do with sanctions
against countries that support terrorism ," the official added.
As a first step toward closing
off the controversy , the White
House staff and the State Department - once bitter bureaucratic

foes over the Iran arms
shipments- have adopted a single
public position on the issue - the
weapons were not ransom for the
hostages , no matter how the coincidence in timing may make it
appear.
By adhering to this line ,
Reagan can afford what earlier
had seemd to be the inevitability
that someone would have to
resign.
The president 's repudiation of
the arms-shipment plan gives
Schultz the sort of vindication that
allows him to stay on the job .
And Schultz 's bureaucratic
advesary , White House national
security adviser John M.
Poindexter , can remain as well.
Because Reagan has defended
his role , the removal of Poindexter would undercut the president 's
assertion that the plan never included a direct arms-for-hostages
bargain.
"I know of' no plans for
anybody to resign , " a White
House official said.
The Iran arms issue was the second time in a little less than a
year that Schultz won a
bureaucratic battle by threatening
to quit.
Last December , the secretary
faced down the White House staff
over a plan to require random lie
detector tests. Reagan modified
the regulation to eliminate the
parts that Schultz opposed .
In both cases, Schultz lost the
fight as long as the matter was
kept secret within the administration but , once the issue became
public , he prevailed.

Schultz will not quit post

Dr. Ann Batory, Dr. Bernard
Dill and Charles M. Chapman
recieved awards Tuesday at the
Hotel Magee from Delta Mu
Delta , a national honor society
for business administration and
computer science majors.
The awards were given by
members of last year's graduating
class of Delta Mu Delta to professors who influenced them most
during their four years at BU.
Batory , who could not attend
due to a prior committment,
received the award from
marketing majors , Dill from
finance majors and Chapman
received awards from management , accounting and computer
science majors .
Chapman said , "I love to
teach. I promised myself that

when I learn less from my
students then they learn from me,
that is when I will , get out of
teaching. "
The ceremony was attended by
BU President Harry Ausprich
who spoke on scholarships, and
Daniel Pantaleo, acting provost
and vice-president of academic
affairs.
Along with the piesentation of
the awards, 12 new members
were inducted into Delta Mu
Delta.
The requirements for induction
are a 3.2 cumulative average, 64
credits earned , a business administration or computer science
major and a high moral standing.
Delta Mu Delta's officers are
Randy L. Weidner, president;
Chris Basar , vice-president;
Diane Fagan , secretary; and Sue
Weinrich , treasurer.

WASHINGTON-Secretary of
State George P. Schultz, convinced that he has finally prevailed in
his campaign to reverse the administration 's Iran arms program ,
has decided not to resign and is
ready to try to refurbish the
government 's tattered antiterrorism policy, officials said
Tuesday .
A senior State Department official said that Schultz interpreted
as a complete vindication of his
own position President Reagan 's
statement that he had "absolutely no plans " to send additional
weapons to the Tehran regime.
As recently as Sunday, Schultz
appeared introspective and embarassed by the administration 's
Iran policy .
Interviewed on CBS-TV' s
"Face the Nation. " he
acknowledged that he did not
speak for the administration on
the issue and did nothing to
discourage speculation that he
was ready to quit.
But 24 hours later , in a speech
Monday at the University of
Chicago, Schultz had regained his
customary aplomb and he seemed confident again that he was
again in control of U.S. foreign
policy.
"He seemed just like himself,"
the senior official said of the
Chicago appearance. "I don 't see
any signs (that he plans to
resign) ."
Another State Department official said that Schultz hoped to

Two Bloomsburg University
freshmen will faces charges including criminal mischief following the vandalism of 45 tombstones in Old Rosemont
Cemetery on Oct. 31, according
to Bloomsburg patrolman Joseph
Wondoloski.
Robert Partlow , 18, of 447
Montour Hall and Matthew
Mclntyre, 18, of 265 Luzerne
Hall will each be charged with
underage d r i n k i n g , public
drunkenness and criminal
mischief.
Wondoloski said the two
freshmen admitted to the offense
after being questioned by the
police.
"At first , they admitted to
damag ing only several of the
tombstones , but later admitted to
all 45," Wondoloski added .
Robert Grote , 18, of 265
Luzerne Hall , notified officials
after witnessing the two fall over
a 100-foot cliff behind the
cemetery .
Charges were not filed against
Grote because he and the two accused told police he was not
involved.
Wondoloski said Partlow and
Mclntyre could have been charged with institutional vandalism , a
more serious offense.
"Because they cooperated with
the police , the lesser charge was
opted for , " Wondoloski added .
According to District Justice
Donna Coombe's office , a hearing date has been set for Dec. 4
at 9 a.m.
Robert Norton , Assistant VicePresident and Dean of Student
Life , said a hearing will be held
on campus to determine what
disciplinary actions will be taken
against the two accused .
"The hearing (on-campus) will
occur before the hearing at
Coombe ' s office , " Norton
added .

A question of Security
Recently, The Voice was atter
information concerning the incident which involved a security
vehicle crashing into Elwell.
And an even shorter time ago.
we were after information regarding the bomb threat that occurred last weekend.
In both cases, when we contacted the Law Enforcement Office, we were told to call aftcs. 11
p.m. and t alk to the third shift
personnel. Doing so, we were
then told we must speak to the
assistant chief, who would not be
present in the office until the
following morning.
In the first case, when we
spoke to the assistant chief the
following morning, we were told
thai Law Enforcement could not
g ive us any information and we
would have to call University
Relations to get a press release.
In the second case, we did not
bother contacting the assistant
chief. We did not have time to
wait until mornine.
Is the Law Enfo rcement Ottice
at Bloomsburg University a law
enforcement agency or merel y
another
office
of
the
administration?

It seems interesting to note that
Paul Conard , the assistant vicepresident for administration ,
hands out parking tickets around
campus. Is he administration ,
security , or both?
An official.assurcd me that our
security force is a law enforcement agency. They do make arrests. This person also said the
reason security does not talk to
the press is because they have
gotten burned by the press.
My personal difficulty with this
issue stems from the fact that the
Law Enforcement Office is open
around the clock , incidents occur
around the clock, but information
is unavailable unless it is requested during the dayli g ht hours
between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
It is true that Shery l Bryson.
the head of University Relations ,
is on call around the clock , but
how is she going to find out about
something that happens at 2 a.m.
on a Saturday night unless she
herself contacts or is contacted by
Law Enforcement?
Also, she obviousl y would not
be in on an arrest , so any information we would get from her
would most likely not include any

direct quotes from tqe officer on
the scene , specific details , etc .
This appears to be the perfect
public relations failsafe device
against the press .
Should an issue, an event , or
even an accident occur on campas that demands coverage , there
will be no story unless we have
a deluge of time to go through the
of
well-laid n^inefield
channels ,
or contact Shery l Bryson at
home , should she know about the
incident prior to our call.
If it is possible to run without
comment fro m Law Enforcement , there will be no official
comment in the story , unless
Bryson calls security for the information and contacts us. This
lack of official comment ofte n
results in the elimination of at
least the story 's completeness , not
to mention its credibility .
Is there a problem with the officer who was on the scene simply relating the known facts of the
situation? Does the administration
see a difficulty in giving us
however much truth that is
obtainable?
Curious.

Concerned thinking

Compassion is knowledge too

"There is a bomb p lanted in
Lycoming Hall which will go off
at 4 a.m. '
Seeing the girls run out of the
dorm mi ght be an idea of fun for
some immature person , but did
this person realize how much inconvenience he caused?
Did he consider the pain of getting up at four in the morning on
a weekend; rushing out of the
dorm, scared and confused: and
the inconvenience to the hall staff
and security ?
If Jennie Carpenter was afraid
to give out information about the
incident because she thoug ht it
mi g ht g ive ideas to other peop le,
how wrong was she?
When will we learn to put
ourselves in others " shoes and
realize the suffering we are causing ? How many of us would like
to get up in the middle of the

ni ght and rush out of the dorm
just to find out it was a sill y joke?
Did the caller ever wonder what
kind of accidents could have
occurred?
How many of us remember the
story about the boy who used to
call 'Wolf , Wolf , ' just to laug h
at the villagers when they came
running ? What were the consequences of what he did? Was the
onl y moral of the story not to lie?
Shouldn 't we consider the sheep?
A few weeks ago , a student
sent a security car fl y ing down
the street in front of Lycoming
and crashing into Elwell Hall.
For that young man , it mi g ht have
been a great joke , but did he
realize what the consequences
mi g ht have been?.
One of the main interests of
college students today is to part y . How many peop le have
witnessed students fi ghting and
carry ing on afte r getting drunk at
a party? Do these students realize

the inconvenience they cause
those who have to listen to this?
The individual who created the
bomb scare and the other who
sent the car rolling toward Elwell
did not consider the people
around them.
As members of a society , we
should be concerned more about
whether our needs violate the
ri ghts of others , and less about
whether our wants are satisfied.
It would be easy to keep from infring ing upon others if one could
only learn to use imag ination and
see the other side of the situation.
We are students but also human
beings , and the learning process
will continue long after we leave
college. Textbooks and classwork
alone will not teach everything
there is to be learned.
Knowled ge must be searched
for. One must learn to consider
the feelings of others. And the
best time to learn is ri g ht now.

Mandatory drug testing

Are our freedoms lost in a vial?

"The ri g ht of the people to be
secure in their persons... against

M a n d a t o r y drug testing by

guarenteed by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.
A f t e r r a t i f i c a t i o n of t h e

Nearly 200 years later , the executive branch , with the consent
of the judic ial , has chosen to ignore the ideals upon which our
great nation was founded.
It is our right to challenge

Whether one condemns or condones drug usage , we must combat the threat to our personal
liberties posed by continued drug

Last week a federal jud ge
ordered a halt to the testing of
Customs Service emp loyees
(whose job it is to stop the flow
of illegal drugs across our
borders) calling it an illegal and

This decision dealt a serious
blow to President Reagan 's mandate for a "drug-free federal

planned testing of all federal
employees. This is an important
first step in the right direction.

Yankees want 'expressive cars'
by George Will
Editorial Columnist
NEWPORT BEACH , Calif. -In
the tonier showrooms along
Pacific Coast Hi ghway , where
folks sell Ferraris to people who
can not afford Lagondas, and
Lagondas to people who think
they can not afford to be seen
driving anything as declasse as a
Rolls Royce , a sedate calm
obtains.
However , elsewhere in this
land of driven drivers , the price
war that has errupted in
automobile financing is the cause
of cheerfu l chaos .
A Los Angeles Times reporter
f o u n d that a Costa Mesa
Oldsmobile salesman had no time
for journalists : "It 's very busy ,
like a zoo. Gotta go. " War is
heck , this war begun in weakness
by the bi g boy on the block ,
General Motors. GM is learning,
late in life , not to make the loony
m i s t a k e of t h i n k i n g ;> that
Ameripahs regard cars asoinere
transportation.
Yes , even mi ghty GM can
come a cropper by forgetting
elemental matters . However, as
a baseball manager with a weak
grasp of history but a strong sense
of life 's vicissitudes once said ,
"Even Napolean had h i s
Watergate. "
Car-loan rates under 3 percent
(and the desire to buy expensive
items before tax reform reforms
away the deductibility of sales
taxes) have caused a stampede ,
beneath which may be translated
prospects for sales of 1987
models.
If that causes the sluggish
economy to go south , with
political consequences extending
to the end of civilization as we
have known it , much blame will
fall on the GM designers who a
few years ago decided to make all

their cars look alike .
With 1987 models yearning to
breathe free , GM in August had
more than a million unsold 1986
cars and trucks. One reason for
GM' s overproduction , and for its
declining market share , is mocked in the Lincoln commercial that
merril y depicts confusion among
owners of look-alike Cadillacs ,
Buicks and Oldsmobiles.
GM' s Pontiac division has
turned , as much as possible
within the sty ling constraints ,
toward producing what one executive calls "expressive cars . "
A t t a boy . Now you are
remembering the future: For
Americans , cars are instruments
of self-expression , ri g ht up there
with sexual fantasies.
Business Week reports that
Pontiac , the only GM division to
increase its market share from
1982 to 1985, commisioned a
psychologist to study customers '
"deepest - fantasies about- driv^
ing: " He found that flashy cars
made middle-age women feel
younger. Hence the commercial
in which a teen-ager urges mom
to cut loose and buy a red
Sunbird .
For Pontiac , this is something
of a return to its modern roots .
In the 1960 's, under the guidance
of a fellow named De Lorean ,
Pontiac built "muscle cars " like
the GTO.
However , Forbes magazine
argues that GM' s structure made
model differentiation difficult. It
may hav e been efficient in the
short run to combine assembly
p lants , and desi g n i n g and
eng ineering functions , but the
results—look-alike products—were
not efficient in the long run.
To a rookie pitcher who comp lained when three pitches to
Rogers Hornsby were called
balls , the u m p ire replied:
"Young man , when you pitch a

strike , Mr. Hornsby will let you
know . " The public has let GM
know that it is not going to buy
expensive cars that are , well ,
inexpressive.
This is the truth of merchandizing in America: You can sell a
cheap Scotch to persons for
whom price is crucial , or expensive Scotch to persons for whom
quality (or snobbery ) is crucial ,
but a medium-priced Scotch is
harder
to sell.
And
in
automobiles , the hi g h profits are
at the hi g h end of the scale.
The head of the Cadillac division says that soon "You 'll be
p lease to see that you can
recognize our products at
distances. " Meanwhile , the
pleasure is in the condign punishment of GM' s design decision.
That pleasure is alloyed with
anger: This country can not stand
such incompetence in its great
corporations.
it fe'altogether fitting that
record low car-loan rates arrived jirst as the country was being
hit on the head with another
attention-grabbing number: the
record-shattering one-month $ 18
billion trade deficit.
There is so much more to that
deficit than imported cars, but the
automobile industry is the
emblematic American industry . It
is just beginning to compete with
some competitors.
To match Mercedes , BMW
and Jaguar , Cadillac is bring ing
out the Italian-designed Allante .
At $50 ,000, Allante will cost
$25,000 a seat. It is disgusting
that people will pay so much for
a hunk of metal to move them
about , but people will , and it will
be good for this country if more
of such foolishly spent dollars
stay at home , invested in
American-made "expressive
cars.

An Info Desk recep explains
With regards to Monday morning 's Squealer 's Corner, I
would like to comment on the
criticism levied against the Information Desk .
As an employee of the above ,
I can understand and sympathize
with the lack of service that
sometimes is most obvious.
But the Info Desk , run by people, not machines, falls prey to
human error. As mere humans,
we cannot predict the wants and
needs of every individual who
for
desk
comes
to the
information.
We can only manage one request per employee at a time. As
trivial as any given request may
appear , it is as important to that
person as your question , problem
or need is to you. Therefore , try
to practice patience w h i l e
waiting.
A second topic brought up was
the fact that it appears as though
the phone is more important than
the individuals standing around
the desk. There is a valid exp lanation for this apparent
disregard .
When the phone rings , the
receptionist knows the caller
needs service; whereas, the individuals stand ing around the

desk , filing their nails , yelling to
their friends , staring blankly into space, or simply hanging out ,
do not seem to desire attention.
I realize there are those people
who genuinely seek help, but it
is hard to separate them from the
above.
When a visitor to the desk is
looked upon with inquisitive
eyes, often it is the case that the
gaze returned is seemingly inattentive. Should it be the job of the
receptionist to determine if this
person wants something, because
we can read nothing from their
expression?
As a visitor to the Information
Desk , there are certain things you
must keep in mind. First of all ,
we deal with hundreds of individuals a day and thousands of
individual needs. It is difficult for
the receptionist to rank the desires
of so many individuals. We
follow a policy of 'first come ,
first serve , ' which we believe to
be the best in dealing with the
public.
Secondly, the proper way to
obtain prompt service is to indicate that it is desired. It is important to convey this desire
clearly so the receptionist knows
what can he done to facilitate this

request.
It is my belief that the relations
between the desk personnel and
the students could be improved if
the above items were commonly
understood.
In closing , I would only like to
clarify my position with regards
to Squealer 's Corner. M y goal in
writing this letter is not to
criticize Mr. Burian , but to merely create a better understand ing
of the happenings at the Info
Desk.
In fact , I found his column
about the Info Desk to be a rather
whimsical tribute to the organized insanity that has become a daily part of our lives.
Sincerely,
Cindy D. Murray

CIA involved with Iran
From page 1

dissident opposition is active.
Iran is strateg ically vital
because of its oil supplies, warmwater ports on the Persian Gulf
and proximity to the Soviet
Union.
Iran 's political turbulence and
the possibility that one of the exile groups could some day assume
power justifies a U.S. strategy
that proceeds on several tracks ,
accorking to several administration officials , and that view is
shared by some former U.S. intelligence officers.
"I have no knowledge that the
Reagan administration is giving
money to the Iranian exile
groups , but I see no reason no,t
to ' give them money and at . the
same time extend a hand to Khomeini ," Stansfield Turner , CIA
director in the Carter administration , said Monday .
"Play ing both sides of the
fence is not unusual , as long as
they did not fund any exile group
to the extent that they would try
to overthrow the (Khomeini)
government. There is not a
prayer that they could do that ,"
Turner said.
But one well-placed administration source said the CIA
operations involving Iran were ad
hoc and inconsistent, rather than
being the result of a coherent
U.S. strategy . "The U.S. does
not have a policy but a series of
actions , " said the source, who
described the administration as
' 'groping in a maze" on the Iran
issue.
Despite the CIA efforts to
curry favor with the Khomeini
regime, Iran continued to encourage violence against
American interests , sources
noted .
For example , intelligence
shows that Iran directly supported
the October 1983 bombing of the
Marine Corps barracks in Beirut
in which 241 U.S. servicemen
were killed. This was less than a
year after the CIA received a list
of KGB agents in Iran from a
Soviet defector and gave the
names to the Khomeini regime.
Sources said that the British intelligence service also participated in the operation that
revealed the Soviet agents in Iran.
Administration officials said
that more recent overtures made
under President Reagan to
"moderates " in Tehran have
stopped Iranian government
sponsorship of terrorist actions
against Americans.
In January 1981, when President Reagan took office and 52
Americans returned after 444
days in captivity in Tehran , the
CIA had already begun under
President Carter a number of
anti-Khomeini operations .
One was designed to gather intelligence about Iran and support
Iranian exiles , sources said ;
another was a more ambitious
plan that one senior source said

dinator at BU , the career options
for people in this major are
growing.
"Medical technology majors
are no longer just being hired in
the hosp ita 1 or clinical setting, "
Parsons says.
In addition , Parsons says that
jobs are available in such fields
as biotechnology and genetic
eng ineering.
He says that career opprotunities are also available in
areas such as the food industry
and the pharmaceutical industry .
"There is not a shortage of
jobs , just a diversity of jobs , "
Parsons says.
Medical technologists are trained to analyze and interpret
various kinds of data , or as Parsons puts it , "Med techs analyze
your body. "
Medical technology majors at
BU partici pate in an open program , which means that anyone
that meets the university requirements can enter the

,¦¦¦¦ *- ¦

program.
Medical technology is also
referred to as a "3 $ 1" program
as well. This means that the student must participate in three
years of classes on campus and
one calendar year in a laboratory.
"There is no guarantee that any
student entering the program will
get a position in a clinical lab ,"
Parsons says.
Parsons says that the student
must set this up with the hospital.
The university only helps the student make the decision.
To train a medical technologist
during the clinical lab period , the
cost ranges anywhere from
$20,000 to $25,000. The student
can pay as much as $3,000.
"Medical technology majors
are anong the hi ghest grade
students in the biolog ical and
allied health program ," Parsons
says.
He says that smdents must have
at least a 3.0 cumulative average
to stay competitive.

The Program Board is currently working on the details for next
semester 's scheduled events , including the fourth annual Winte r
Fest.
The first major event for next
semester is the Winter Fest. From
Feb. 3-8, movies, special events,
an airband competition , casino
games and a food fair will all be
part of the activities to be held in
the Kehr Union.
Student organizations can set
up food or game booth s during
the week.
On Feb. 27 and 28, the 25-hour
dance marathon will take place.
This Program Board service project is done for a different charity every year.
Five hundred dollars in prizes
will be given away .
For those who do not wish to
participate in the 25-hour
marathon , there is a 10-hour mini
marathon.
The marathon features music
by WBUQ and local bands as
well as dance and costume contests. Reg istration forms will be
available.
The last weekend in April is
Sibling 's/Children 's Weekend .
This year it is also Children 's
Weekend for the non-traditional
students that have children.
Also during that weekend , on
April 25 the Renaissance Jamboree will be held. This combined university effort includes about
150 craftspeople and 100 nonprofit organizations sponsoring
games and food.
There will also be local and
professional entertainment performing on the three stages
downtown.

Speeding on the highway results in Christmas in July

Staff Writer

Two summers ago, I purchased my first real "hot-rod , " a
1966 Mercury Cyclone G.T. It
was a slick little number , bri ght
red, with a racing stripe along the
bottom.
For two weeks my friend ,
Dick , and I worked on the car ,
improving its performance with
every turn of the wrench. Finally, we felt the car was ready for
its first test.
We decided that we would take
our girlfriends to Hershey Park ,
a 250-mile one-way tri p, to see
how our work paid off.
The agreed-upon day arrived ,
but in retrospect I think Dick and
I should have spent the day working on the car , rather than driving it.
The morning started out well

girlfriend on the phone , for the

10 millionth time , and told her
that she was no longer welcome
to accompany us on the trip. I
slammed down the receiver ,
paused for a moment , then picked up the receiver once again.
I told Dick that despite the fight
I still wanted to go ahead with the
plans. We agreed that the car still
needed testing.
I believe any normal person in
such a mood would have cancelled plans and stayed home, but
I' ve never been accused of being
a normal person.
I picked up Dick , and we set
out to get his girlfriend , Stacy .
Along the way, the fuel pump
drew dirt , clogging the fuel filter.
The motor lost almost all power
and nearl y shut off. A quick
change of the filter sent us back
on our way . I carried many such
parts for emergencies because of
the test nature of the tri p.
We arrived at Stacy 's with no
further problems , and so began

our journey , we came upon a
long stretch of road with which
we were very familiar. The road
was a straight, divided, four lane
highway , two lanes each way .
Gentle crests rose every so often
which blocked the view of the
road ahead. We knew that the
road was often patrolled by the
State Police and knew the locations they chose to hide, or so we
thought.
Afte r passing a church and a
barn , we thought we were in the
clear.
Partly to test the car , more to
vent my anger , I began depressing the accelerator. The car
quickl y gained speed . Dick and
Stacy were sitting in the back
seat , Dick peering over my
shoulder. He began counting off
the numbers as the speedometer
circled around like the second
hand of a clock.
"90,95,100..., " Dick read, his

voice trailing off as he assumed
crash position behind the seat .
As we broke the third and last
crest, my foot quickly found the
brake pedal . A patrol car was
waiting for someone like me; sitting alongside the road just ahead ,
looking like St. Peter on judg ment day .
The brakes strained under my
frantic efforts to stop the car. We
passed the patrol car rather
awkwardly as the tires finally
began to lock up. I stopped the
car after a struggle, then noticed
the officer pulling in behind me,
ending my joyride.
I rolled down my window, fully expecting the'heaviest fines
Pennsylvania could impose. I
thought of how such an excessive
speed would strip me of my
license. I watched as the officer
approached .
"Uh-oh!" said Dick in his
typ icall y understated manner.
I turned and looked up at the

BU parking problem; a dead-end ?

by Darcie Scheidt
for the Voice

There are some unhappy
students on our campus. You may
even know a couple. In fact , there
is a good chance that you are one
of the persons involved .
These students are the ones
driving and circling endlessly
around the tri-level and hospita l
parking lots. They are the ones
who are repeatedly late for
classes. And they are the ones
yelling obscenities after discovering a $5 parking ticket on their
windshield.
Students have been in an uproar
about insufficient parking areas
all semester. However, what
some may not realize is that this
problem has been developing for
years . Not only has the number
of students attending Bloomsburg
been increasing, but availibility of
parking space has been steadily
decreasing .
Dorms , crosswalks, physical
education practice fields and campus beautiflcation are among the
reasons for decreasing space.
Because of this , there is just not
enough area on campus to build
more parking facilities. It would
be unfair to expect the physical
education department to give up
one of their fields. And think of
how drab our campus would be
without the creativity of the
beautiflcation committee.
Some alternate suggestions
have been given to the BU Parking committee, a group consisting
of members from CGA , SOAR ,
administration , faculty, staff and

law enforcement. The most
popular idea has been to build
another tri-level. Despite being
the only state school having even
one tri-level , research into
building a second garage has been
done.
Dr. Richard Alderfer , chairman of the parking committee ,
said that the main problem is
money. "A garage proposal was
made in 1983 , " Alderfe r
said ,"and it would have cost an
estimated $2.2 million. Students
would have to pay $100 each year
for one decal sticker , and who
knows how many years it would
take to pay off construction
costs ," he added .
Tim Keffer , CGA president ,
asked the parking committee
about a shuttle bus to drive people back and forth from the lots
on upper campus. Alderfer
reported that for the busses ,
maintainance , fuel and staff , it
would cost approximately $24
thousand per year. Students who
drive would be required to pay a
$5 parking fee each year. "I'd
also hate to see a young girl have
to walk up to Nelson at night ,
after shuttle hours ," Alderfer
said.
So if providing new parking
spaces isn 't the answer, what is?
Last summer the parking committee came up with what they
felt were two fair solutions. The
first was to allow only one decal
for every vehicle operator. Section 601 in the "1986 Motor
Vehicle Regulations" pamphlet ,
explains this restriction. This new
rule was formed to prevent family

members of Faculty /Staff , from
using Faculty/Staff parking areas
while visiting campus for classes,
meetings and socializing.
Many believe this is not fair to
those Faculty/Staff who own
several cars or need to use
another automobile while one is
in the garage for repairs. "I
understand it may be an inconvenien ce," Alderfer said , "but fair
is fair. " In addition , procedures
have been established for
emergencies.
The second solution was to
restrict student privileges. Dr.
Robert Parrish , vice president of
administration , and the parking
committee came up with the idea
of a one-mile perimeter encircling the campus; section 602
describes it. This perimeter
means that students living within
one mile of campus could not
receive a parking decal .
However , due to several complaints , this proposal was not
implemented.
"It seemed the perimeter
would provide more parking
space for commuting students
from areas like Danville ,
Millville and Berwick," Alderfer
said. Even though CGA Executive board members agreed
that the perimeter would benefit
commuters, they argued that
other students were unfairl y
represented. CGA felt their committee didn 't have any input since
sections 601 and 602 were decided and voted upon during the
summer.
But Alderfer reported that
several attempts to get people to

This trust exists primaril y
because both of them have serious
relationshi ps
with
their
boyfriends. Since I have no
romantic interest (real or imagined) in them , I pose no threat of
upsetting their proverbial
applecarts.
My friendship with them
allows us the opportunity to communicate openly, as well as share
feelings that are listened to and
mutually respected. Friendship to
me means having someone to
complain to , depend on , and occasionally help out in a time of
need.
The problem I often face is the
inability to maintain and continually progress a friendship ,
once the initial comraderie and
rapport have been established.
This is a complaint that I've
heard from quite a variety of
students, both male and female.
It is this 'uncertainty ' of intentions which is the key stumbling
block in the prevention of a possible lasting friendship .
For example, if you meet someone in the library , and you
begin talking to them and things
seem to be going well, your emotions sometimes take over and
future possibilities might begin
going through your mind.
But going along with your feel-

ings puts you in a very vulnerable
position , especially if you 're
comfortable with another person
at the time. You lend to close the
door on someone new, simply
because of the possible internal
conflict that might result.
You're afraid of being hurt ,
afraid of being rejected , afraid of
losing what you currently have.
While you 're inwardly confused
(but outwardly sending mixed
signals), the other person doesn't
know how to read your reactions
and is equally confused.
During all this , you 're both
dancing around the notion that
you enjoy each other's company ,
because you 're afraid of being
hurt , etc.
This 'discommunication ', if
you will, prevents true feelings
from being openly discussed. The
vicious cycle continues Unless one
brave soul exposes his/her emotions and holds them up to the
light for scrutiny .
But we must hide our physical
attraction towards somebody for
fear of being rejected , and by
hiding that attraction and interest
we risk losing them altogether.
The late Pete Ham of the group
'Badfinger' wrote . about these
typical misfortunes frequently. A
passage from 'Lonely You , Only You ' bears repeating.

His words stay with me to this
day as he asked in his most polite
and inquisitive voice, "Excuse
me. Is there any particular reason
you were traveling at 113 miles
per hour?"
I retrieved my lower jaw from
the floor of my car and stared
dumbly at him for what seemed
an eternity . "No sir ," I replied ,
"I'm sorry there 's not. " I was
frustrated with my lack of words.
He asked for my license and
registration. I complied. "I have
registered your speed on radar.
Would you like to see it? " he asked. I opened my door and walked back to his car. Looking
throug h the window , I saw a
small black box illuminated with
the numbers "1" , "1" , "3" .
He asked /ne to return to my
car. As I sat in the car , Dick commented that an advance in the
motor timing could have given us

an extra five to 10 miles per hour.
I could not find it in myself to
laugh.
After what seemed an eternity,
the officer retu rned. He handed
my documents back to me along
with my citation. I studied the
paper and noticed that it read 83
miles per hour and a fine of
$98.50.
"83? ," I asked.
"Nice car ," replied the officer.
"Will it do any more? " he asked. I laughed aloud and said ,
"Only if I advanced the timing. "
I quickl y signed the paper and
received my copy. Afte r the required lecture on the rights to appeal , I told him there would be
no contest from me.
"Have a nice day, " said the officer ,"and Merry Christmas. "
Though it was only July, I bid
him the same. I started the car
and we continued along our way ,
very sedately.
We had an uneventful
weekend , but on our way back
home a 1969 Camaro SS passed
us. Dick encouraged me to return
the favor. I decided , however ,
that 55 was just ri ght fpr me.

committee meetings were made
last spring. "We had lots of
notices printed in the Voice but
the only time CGA or anyone
showed up, was to debate the
issue of the Navy parking lot. So
last summer we made decisions
on our own ," he said.
There are six different colored
decals or permits listed under section 600-General Provisions-ofthe regulation pamphlet. So far
this semester , 3207 decals have
been issued. They include Faculcommuting
ty /Staff(916) ,
students or 21 years of age
(2052), resident students with
cars , needing 64 credits (125),
students with motorcycles (34) ,
Alumni (15), and 65 freshman
and sophomores with special
privileges.

It 's interesting to note that the
number of decals issued (3207)
exceeds the total number of parking spaces (2143) available. How
is a mass of 2052 commuters expected to squeeze in the 332
spaces alloted? And 916 Faculty/Staff are provided with just
517 spaces , including upper and
lower campuses. Visitor parking
areas consist of 827 spaces, handicapped 18, dorm residents, 183,
and Dean 's,6. It 's no wonder approximately 1000 tickets are
given each month .
In order to provide parking for
all these people, a miracle must
be performed. But unless someone comes up with a totally
unique and fair solution , we will
just have to settle for a little give
and take from all sides.

Do opposite sex friendships exist?

Dave Burian
The four years I've spent here
in Bloomsburg have afforded me
the opportunity to meet many
new people and has also given me
more than my fair share of
friendships.
But for reasons that will soon
become apparent , these friendships are almost exclusively with
members of my own gender.
It is not that I am unable to
create friendships with the female
sex , but that communication of
intentions and definitions of
'friendship ' are invariably blurred between the two species.
It is easy to give my definition
of 'friendshi p with women '
because I happen to live with two
of them. We spend many hours
together in the comfort of our
own home and sometimes fig ht
like cats ' and dogs, but an
underly ing current of trust always
exists.

officer, seeing my reflection in
his mirrored glasses almost as
clearly as the image of my license
and several paychecks going up

making them good fun for advanced intermediate skiers but not
the hair-raising challenge Vermont is known for.
During an earlier visit to
Sugarbush , I had heard groups of
teen-age boys bragging to one
another
about
"skiing
Castlerock , " reputedly the
toughest trails on the mountain
and among the toughest in the
East. I had not dared try it then ,
but on this visit , afte r a decade
more of skiing experience and
with near-perfect conditions , I
wanted to give it a try .
The Castlerock lift , going
almost to the top of 3,975-foot
Lincoln Peak , is an old double
chair that passes over a series of
formidable slopes that appeared
to be as much granite and ice as
snow. At the top, our guide suggested that Middle Earth was the
trail in the best condition for
southern skiers like us , unaccustomed to real mountains and
steep, narrow trails , and we set
off , somewhat shakily.
After we had made a series of
fairly respectable turns down a
narrow and heavily moguled
stretch at the top without
humiliating ourselves , our guide

motioned for us to stop. To the
left was a panorama of the Green
Mountains and the river winding
far below. To our right , a very
steep drop.
"This part is called the 'Jaws
of Death,' " he said encouragingly and plunged on, disappearing
around a steep turn.
The rush of adrenaline caused
by that remark must be what got
us down the rest of Middle Earth
with its sharp, steep turns and
dips.
We felt very proud of ourselves
when we got to the bottom of the
Castlerock lift , until a young
woman skier shouted to our
guide , "Did you groom Middle
Earth today ? I've never seen it so
flat ."
Mad River Glen , your first
glimpse tells you , is quite the opposite . On one side of Route 17
is a parking lot smaller than those
serving the small ski areas in
Pennsy lvania and Virg inia. On
the other is a cluster of buildings ,
a nursery , the "base box " lodge
and a ski shop. Only the bottom
of three slopes is visible , with the
higher parts obscured by trees
and snow.
Macho skiing is. the specialty at

Mad River Glen, whose motto is
"Ski it if you can. " On my first
visit in 1975, I asked for the
beginners' area and was directed
to a daunting ly steep expanse
known as the "practice slope,"
generally used to train slalom
racers.
Since then , a few concessions
have been made to beginners and
intermediates, most notably the
area served by the Birdland chair
where relatively wide and gentle
trails have names like Lark ,
Loon, Wren and Robin. But mad
River 's speciality is tough , nononsense skiing, such as the terrifying Chute and Liftline , a
seemingly endless series of
moguls stretching almost the entire length of the 2,000 foot antiquated single chairlift.
Mad River Glen's owner, Betsy Pratt , who has resisted several
efforts by Sugarbush to buy her
out , is determined to preserve
what she calls "our kind of skiing, " with natural snow ,
ungroomed slopes and minimal
frills. Mad River 's "comfortable
capacity " is 1,600 skiers , Pratt
said , and when Vermont has one
of its infamous midwinter thaws ,
Mad River simply has to close

down. Its $20 lift ticket ($22 on
weekends) is one of the best
bargains in the East.
The area -has no lodging of its
own , but on Route 17 leading to
it there are a number of country
inns and motels. A large portion
of Mad River Glen 's skiers have
vacation homes in the valley or
are members of the seven ski
clubs with houses there.
we consider
Althoug h
ourselves good skiers, and not
averse to ' showing off at Ski
Liberty or Massanutten, we were
hard-pressed to outrshine anyone
at Mad River Glen.
The skiers there tended to be
casually dressed college students ,
families packing huge picnic lunches and lotj of locals. We didn 't
spot a single fashionably dressed
ski bunny in front of the fireplace
in the small bar at the base lodge.

viewed by 19,603 spectators, according to figures released by the
university 's department of
athletics.
That figure exceeds the 16,887
fans that attended the Huskies'
five regular-season home contests
a year ago.
This season 's largest single
game home crowd occcured on
September 20 during the school's
Parents' Day when 7,313 saw the
bloomsburg-Lock Haven contest.
That figure came just 170 people short of the Robert B. Redman Stadium record of 7,483 set
on Homecoming Day in 1985.
On the road , the Huskies, who
were defending Pennsylvania
Conference champions, also drew
good crowds, playing in front of
approximately 21,500 fans on
five playing dates.
Bloomsburg will host six home
contests during the 1987 season
as part of an eleven game slate.

a) Five minutes into "The Lawrence Welk Show "
b) About a week before your birthday.
c) When you just want to teli them you miss
them, and that you ate the last of Grandma 's
chocolate-chip cookies this morning.

There's nothing grandparents like better than a call from a grandchild
in college. But if you do accidentally happen to interrupt Lawrence, you
ought to have something worth telling them.
For example, you could mention that you called using
AT&T Long Distance Service because you can depend on AT&T's
high quality service and exceptional value.

Can Saints stop LA?

Well football fans , all I can say
is I' m sorry as I slumped last
week to an 8-6 mark . But who
could have predicted that the
Lions might actually beat the
Eagles and the Bengals beat the
Seahawks?
Anyway , for the year , my
record dipped to 79-46 for an
overall percentage of .632.
Week 12 , like last weekend ,
finds some more key matchups
and also some good games between interdivision rivals. Watch
for big matchups between the Jets
and Miami and also Dallas and
the Redskins.
For those fans who like to see
the upset special , watch the Saints
once again stop Eric Dickerson
and the Rams for the second time
this year.
And now , Week 12:
L.A. Raiders 30 San Diego 21
The Raiders travel to San
Diego where they will find
another victory after last week s
impressive win over a decent
Cleveland team. The Chargers
have played tough the last two
weeks but will fall in the end.
Washington 17 Dallas 7
The Redskins are playing their
second tough game in six days,
but will be up since they 're playing at home. They also will be
remembering their loss to Dallas
earlier in the season.
Cleveland 21 Pittsburgh 13
This is a key division game for
the Browns, and they will not let
it slip away . I think the Steelers
will probably flop for the rest of
the year.
New England 30 Buffalo 28
The Patriots are ridiculously
listed as 13-point favorites against
the Bills. This game will be much
closer , and I wouldn 't be surprised to see an upset , even though
I won 't predict one.
Chicago 28 Green Bay 21
The Packers will make this
game a lot closer than people
think , but will fall to the Bears in
the end . Watch for Doug Flutie
to make an impressive impression
on Chicago fans.
N.Y. Giants 22 Denver 21
This is the hardest game of the
week to pick. These are the two
toug hest defensive teams in football , and both come equipped
with potent offenses. I think the
Denver offense is slightly better,
but with the home-field advantage
I must go with the Giants .
Detroit 20 Tampa Bay 17
The Lions surprised everyone

Dave Sauter

last week against the Eagles, (including all three of us!). They
should win their second consecutive game against the hapless
Bucs. Are you happy Dr. Cole??
Houston 21 Indianapolis 13
In the battle of who gets Vinny Testaverde in the draft , the
Colts improve their odds as the
Oilers have no choice but to win.
Cincinnati 27 Minnesota 24
The Bengals continue to be a
mystery , beating the tough competition and losing against the
weak . I'll give them the edge
against the Vikings , very
reluctantly.
Kansas City 20 St. Louis 10
The Chiefs will bounce back
against the Cardinals and keep
close to the Broncos. The Cards
can only look forward to the draft
and next year.
San Francisco 24 Atlanta 10
The Falcons are right in the
middle of playing a string of
quality football teams, including
the Jets, Bears, and now the
49ers. Joe Montana and Dwight
Clark should prov ide enough
points for the 49ers to pull it out.
New Orleans 14 Los Angeles 10
Yes, the Saints are going to
upset the Rams once again as Eric
Dickerson will be stopped again.
Just like the first game, this will
be a defensive struggle with New
Orleans prevaling.
Philadelphia 16 Seattle 14
Seattle can't score and the
Eagles have a pretty tough
defense when everybody plays tip
to their potential . Plus ,
Philadelphia has a throwing QB
in Cunningham against a pitiful
Seahawk pass defense.
N.Y. Jets 41 Miami 34
These two high offense/no
defense teams meet for the second
time of the year, this time in the
Orange Bowl in Miami. The Jets,
you recall , won the first game
51-45 in overtimerand you can

expect another high-scoring affair
this time . Ken O'Brien is the
league 's top-rated quarterback
and will outduel Dan Marino .
JEFF COX:
I'm starting to get a little worried. These 8-6 weeks are killers .
Luckily, Dave didn 't have too
much more luck , and Jamie is ,
well , you know .
The season mark drops to a not
so nice 82-44 as the percentage
drops to an ugly .652.
Well , my Vikings have a struggle on their hands. I know I'm
starting to sound like a broken
record , but this week the struggle gets a lot nicer.
The Purple People Eaters must
bounce back against the Bengals ,
while the Cowboys will continue
their decline (sorry, a three-point
victory over the Chargers just is
not very impressive).
Look for things to get very
interesting.

Last weekend found Jaime improving his overall mark with a
first place showing and 10-4
mark . This brings his overall
ledger to 74-38 and moves him
into first place above Jeff with a
percentage of .661.
He lists his upset specials as

off
Cleveland on the road and Miami

Two Blooomsburg University
football players have been
recognized for their efforts in the
Huskies ' season-ending 21-7 victory over Norfolk State last
Saturday .
Strong safety Brian Scriven
was named the Eastern College
Athletic Conference 's (ECAC)
"Co-Defensive Player of the
Week" along with Towson
State's MArk Angle.
Scriven ended his colleg iate
play ing career by registering 12
tackles, including six unassisted.
In addition , he was credited with
two pass breakups and two interceptions. His first interception
led to Bloomsburg 's first score of
the afternoon. For the season , he
made 68 tackles , recovered a
fumble , forced two others , and
had the two interceptions. He
finished fourth on the team in
total defensive points .

Quarterback Jay DeDea was
selected as the Pennsy lvania Conference 's "Eastern Division
Player of the Week' ' and earned
a berth on the ECAC Weekly
Honor Roll. He comp leted 17 of
32 passes for 266 yards and one
touchdown. DeDea also ran for
another score. His scoring pass
of 42 yards tied the score at 7-7
early in the second period and
helped tight end Kevin Grande set
the school' s all-time reception
record with 133 receptions. Just
five minutes later , DeDea 's sixyard touchdown run put
Bloomsburg in front to stay .
During the 1986 season , he
completed 160 of 340 passes for
2255 yard s and 14 touchdowns.
The Huskies , under first-year
head coach Pete Adrian , finished the campaign with a record of
7-2-1.

From the locker room

In the spirit of the game
by Mike Mullen

Sports Editor

As we draw closer to
Thanksg iving , hi gh school football starts to heat up.
Teams with the good records
set their sights on the playoffs
while teams without them look
ahead to that big game against
THEM.
What makes high school football so exciting is the fact that
sometimes those big games determine who makes the playoffs .
This was such the case at a
game I recently attended while in
Trenton for the field hockey
playoffs .
It was a classic game with all
the usual hype; It was homecoming, both teams were undefeated ,
the loser would most likely not
make the playoffs , and last years
game had been won on a questionable call by the official, making this game one of revenge and
pride.
Tn normal fashion the home
team fell behind early as the "bad
guys" scored first , and eventually
held a 10-6 advantage with about
five minutes to play .
Standing on the sidelines , I

overheard two players, Blain Berrian , defensive tackle , and Tony
Freere , offensive end , talking.
"Don 't tell any body, " Freere
said , "especially the coach. " "If
you can 't catch , don 't go in , "
Berrian replied.
Slightl y confused , I disregarded the conversation as idle talk
among the second team players ,
as I used to do in my high school
days.
Then much to my surprise , the

'Don 't tell anybody ,
especially the coach, ' Freere
said. I'f you can 't catch,
don 't go in , ' Berrian
replied.
With fifty seconds left in the
game, time was called and Freere
was summoned into the game.
A play was diagrammed and
executed perfectly as the quarterback hit Freere in the end zone
for the winning catch and a state
playoff berth.
Neither the winning team nor
the 13-10 final score is reall y important. What made this game
special was not the way it was

played but by who it was played.
This game was played by a
group of young boy s who played
football because they enjoyed it ,
not in exchange for money or
scholarship.
Yet these boys were not afraid
to put forth effort when it was
needed , nor were they afraid to
play when they were less than
100 percent.
Tony Freere , the young man
who made the game winning
catch , actually played the whole
game with a broken hand.
Still , he did not cringe from
playing on that cold November
night nor did he ask to be kept out
of the game , thoug h having a
reasonable excuse.
Instead he kept alive the spirit
of hi gh school football b y
creating yet another legend to be
relived before the two teams
square off against each other next
year.
Whether he ever plays in college or not he 'll alway s be
remembered for that cold night in
Trenton when he did the insane .
How many of us would do the
same if given the chance? Unfortunately for football fans , all too
few.

Skiing , big or small?

by Terri Shaw

LA Times-Washington Post Service

Vermont 's Mad River Valley is
quintessential New England , dotted with white-steepled churches,
cozy country inns and picturesque villages. But when it comes
to skiing, the valley has a dual
personality .
Drive north on Route 100, a

two-lane road that winds throug h
the Green Mountains , and you 'll
find Sugarbush , 16 lifts , state-ofthe-art snowmaking equipment ,
three base lod ges and miles of
well-groomed slopes. Travel a
few miles farther and you 'll get
a different kind of skiing, four
little
snowmaking
lift s ,
machinery , a single lodge and
ungroomed slopes , the pride of

Mad River Glen.
The town areas are more than
a study in contrasts ; they reflect
a conflict that many ski areas are
facing today : whether to expand ,
like Sugarbush has , to appeal to
many kinds of vacationers, or to
remain small , as Mad River Glen
has , to give serious skiers the personal touch.

by similar scores of thirteen to
six.
Freshman Mike Estes shot a
204 and Charlie Smith a 233

who rolled a 237, 183 and a 225
to take high match series with a
645. .
Cecconi bowled a 205 against
Stocktown with Estes following
