Bloomsburg University has
revealed p lans to start a
$2 ,221 ,800 asbestos management
program , according to Don
McCulloch , director of the
ph ysical p lant and energy
management at BU.
A survey conducted by the firm
of Spotts , Stevens and McCoy,
Inc. was completed in September
and is the basis for the new
management in the spring
semester of 1987.
As stated by the report , intiated
by the State System of Hi gher
Education for BU , the buildings
that were given the hi ghest rankings as dangerous will have the
asbestos removed .
"Bloomsburg doesn 't have any
serious
hazards
now , "
McCulloch said , althoug h he did

Nowadays if you want to get a
drink downtown and you are an
out-of-state student , you are also
out of luck...sometimes.
The fear of the Liquor Control
Board has many bars and taverns
exercising their right to refuse admittance to anyone not licensed
to drive in Pennsylvania.
Pennsy lvania state law requries
that tavern owners need onl y accept PA driver 's licenses issued
for identification but not to drive
a vehicle.
With
more
and
more
establishments losing their li quor
licenses for serving minors ,
others are turning away licenses
they cannot easil y recognize as
being legal .
"We just can 't tell if they ' re
fake or not , " a bartender at the
Oak Inn said.
Most bars within walking
distance of the college do accept
out-of-state licenses provided
they have a picture on them.
Often a doorman will ask for
another form of identification or
ask a question that could easily be

answered by the owner of the
card , but not as easily by a person "borrowing " the license.
Usuall y the bartender or the
doorman has the option of refusing to accept out-of-state or
suspected fake ID' s.
"I'm a doorman at a Danville
club and I' ve already accepted
Washington D.C., New York ,
and Massachusetts licenses , "
a
senior
Chris
Clod y ,
Bloomsburg student said. "It 's up
to me whether to accept them or
not. "
Many out-of-staters are angry
with the fact that they are old
enoug h to drink but cannot get
served.
"Harry ' s refused to serve me
because I have a New York
license , " senior Sue Reed said.
"It wasn 't the fact that I wasn 't
allowed to drink liquor that made
me mad , it 's the fact that I wasn 't
allowed to drink for 21 years
becuase I wasn 't old enough , but
now that I am old enough , they
won 't let me because I' m an outof-stater. "
"There are enough New York
and New Jersey college students

here that bars should at least accept them if not others ," Reed
added. "You could even add
Delaware and Mary land to that
list. "
A New Jersey resident ,
Morgan Gildea was also refused
service at Harry 's.
"I didn 't understand why and
when I talked to the manager , he
didn 't try to explain why or even
try to be considerate . He just said
it would be more beneficial for
him to lose our business than f or
him to lose his li quor license, "
Gildea added.
"Considering the business he 's
in , he should at least know what
a New Jersey or New York
license looks like , " she added.
So who will and who won 't
serve you if your identification is
from out-of-state?
lt mostly depends upon who is
working the door , but Hess ' and
Lemon 's rely a lot on college
patronage and are more likel y to
accept out-of-state with a picture .
The Paddock , the Frosty Mug,
and Dirty Harry 's also say they
will but most others say no or
want to see it befo re saying yes.

Reagan versions of arms deal questioned

by Haynes Johnson

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-President
Reagan 's bitter reamrks to columnist Hugh Sidey in this week's
Time magazine about the secret
Iranian-Nicaraguan arms-andmoney controversy have raised
new questions about Reagan 's
factual rendering of crucial points
in the growing scandal .
Froemost among them is
Reagan 's version of why the arms
shi pments to Iran began - a version that flatly contradicts the
public record .
"The Iranians came to us at
first ," Time quotes Reagan as
telling Sidey in a phone interview
last Wednesday. "They wanted
to talk about a better relationshi p. "
This version differed substantiall y from the repeated
statements of administration officials - and from Reagan 's own
remarks at his Nov. 19 news
conference.
His formal statement that opening the session began: "Eighteen
months ago.. .this administration

began a secret imitative to the
Islamic public of Iran. "
In fact , the secret Iranian-U.S.
contacts that resulted in arms
shipments were initiated throug h
Israelis , not Iranians.
They grew out of deliberations
over the hijacking of TWA Flight
847 to Beirut in June 1985 and the
White House realization that Iran
was a key player in the release of
some of the American passengers
on that plane.
Shortl y after that hijacking.
Reagan 's then-national security
adviser , Robert C. McFarlane
met twice with an Israeli official
to discuss possible new openings
to Iran.
McFarlane has said that the initial U.S overtures to Iran were
prompted , in part , by te belief
"moderate
that so-called
elements " had been identified in
Iran during the TWA hijacking .
"When , in 1985 , such
elements were identified and
validated , I believed it was worthwhile to make contact with
them and to seek a political
dialogue ," McFarlane said here
Nov. 20.

In his Time interview , Reagan
also gave a version of the flow of
arms to Iran and of funds to the
Nicaraguan contra forces that was
at variance with known facts
about
those
clandestine
transactions.
"Another
country
was
facilitating those sales of weapons
systems , " the president told
Sidey . "Then they were overcharg ing and were apparently
putting money into the bank accounts of the leaders of the contras. It wasn 't us tunneling money
to them. This was another country ."
In fact , as the President
acknowled ged in immediately
correcting misstatements at his
Nov. 19 news conference about
his not having condoned arms
shi pments to Iran by Israel or
other third parties , the United
States either officiall y authorized or condoned such shipments of
U.S. military equipment through
Israel.
Moreover , as Attorney General
Edwin Meese III made clear last
week , Reagan 's aide , Lt. Col .
Oliver L. North , had "precise

BU MiddleEast symp osium

knowled ge " about the diversion
of profits from arms sales to aid
the contras or their supporters ,
and McFarlane and his successor
as national security adviser . Vice
Adm. John M. Poindexter , also
knew about the arrangement.
Israeli officials have said
repeatedly that they had no involvement in diverting funds to
the contras , and knew nothing
about those diversions.
In the word s of Israeli Forei gn
Minister Shimon Peres , "This
isn 't an Israeli operation. This is
a matter for the United States , not
for Israel. Our purpose was to
hel p a friendly nation save lives.
Israel was asked to hel p, and
did. "
Peres also insisted , "Israel
didn 't earn one red cent from
this. "
At last Tuesday ' s news conference, Meese also acknowledged that the diversion of money to
the contras may have violate d
U.S. laws. That question is central to the present Justice Department criminal investi gation into
the diversion of funds.
In commenting on North ,

Reagan said: "I do not feel
betrayed. Lt. Col. North was involved in all our operations: the
Achille Lauro , Libya. He has a
fine record . He is a national hero .
My only criticism is I wasn 't told
everything. "
One day earlier—on Tuesday,
when North was relieved of his
duties—Reagan had announced
that he had not been kept "full y
informed" of operational activity invilving North that "raises
serious questions of propriety . "
Reagan indicated to Sidey that
he thought the press was to blame
for the fact that some U.S.
hostages in Lebanon were not
released.
"We got three people back.
We were expecting any day to get
two others. The press ahs to take
responsibility for what they have
done. "
In fact , the administration 's
hopes for the release of all the
hostages had been disappointed
more than once in the course of
the secret negotiations with Iran ,
including on one occasion months
before the press got wind of the
matter. When McFarlane flew to

Solutions offered, but still no peace

by Karen Trimbath
Staff Writer

Bloomsburg University had its
symposium on the Arab-Israeli
conflict two weeks ago. Featuring many distinguished speakers ,
it presented many different
perspectives on the search for
peace in the Middle East.
The symposium 's first speaker,
William B. Quandt , a Senior
Fellow at the Brookings Foriegn
Policy Studies Program , was a
key American aide at the historic
Camp David meeting between
Anwar Sadat and Menachem
Begin , which led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
He began his talk with an explanation of why the Middle East
is important: "Unlike many
regional conflicts, this particular
conflict has affected the broader
world stage. The two superpowers have watched this area
with apprehension.

'Since there are two opposite
points of views ," Quant continued "there has been a clash.
The Middle East is dangerous
because it is the most heavil y
armed region in the world ."
Discussing the role of the two
superpowers in the reg ion ,
Quandt said "By the mid 1950s ,
both the United States and the
Soviet Union became more involved in the region. The Soviets
made gain after gain by supporting extreme Arab causes , of
which Nasser was the l ynchpin.
' 'The Soviets became identified
with harsh anti-Israeli policies ,"
Quandt continued.. "The United
States became identified with
Israel; for example, President
Kennedy made substantial arms
sales to the Isarelis. By the 1967
war , the United States was the
major arms supplier to Israel
while the Soviet Union was the
major supplier of arms to the
Arab countries. "

Talking about the lack of major breakthroughs for peace ,
Quandt said "Since 1979, there
hasn 't been any major progress.
The Palestinian issue remains
elusive, if not more so. As of
November 1986, no progress has
been made in seven years. "
He cited the lack of strong
leaders in the Middle East , the
lack of American impetus to progress , and the growth of extremism in Israel and the Arab
countries as the reasons for the
standstill.
Albert J. Flanagan , Director of
the Office of Near East, the U.S.
Department of Commerce ,
discussed U.S. -Middle East
economic relations. He said
American government policy
followed these national security
interests: the preservation of
Israel , maintaining security of oil
supplies , and the presence of the
Soviets.
' 'We try to develop a program

designed to cover our interests.
Saudi Arabia is more important
to the United States than France.
Israel is our second largest
market , with Egypt third. "
Noting that Saudi Arabia is the
world' s largest holder of known
world oil reserves and a prime
moderate pro-U.S. country in the
region , Flanagan also went on to
say "Egypt and Israel are the lynchpins of U.S. diplomatic policy.
Major U.S. aid programs serve
as a means for them to adhere to
the Camp David peace treaty ."
On the Free Trade Agreement,
which places less restrictions on
trading services between the
United States and Israel ,
Flanagan said "The Reagan Administration has made a major
policy change , favoring a
multilateral trade basis—trade
agreements with many lesser
developed countries. "
On U.S. disincentives for
trade , Flanagan discussed

sanctions.
"Trade restrictions with Iran
didn 't have an impact and time
will tell with Syria; our European
allies do not believe it 's very effective. The U.S. places continued pressure on our European
allies for trade restrictions ."
He went on to say "Economic
tools by themselves are not totally
effective. You need political
tools. "
Dr. George A. Turner , Professor in the history department
of Bloomsburg University ,
discussed the issue of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
He described the Palestinians as
"a group of people with nationalist aspirations. "
The 1948 war between Israel
and its neighboring Arab countries resulted in 700,000 displaced Palestinians from Israel. Fiftyfour percent now live in the West
Bank and Gaza , where most live
See page 3

Tehra n secretly last May , on a
plane carry ing military equipment
for the Iranians , he expected that
the remaining hostages would be
freed before he landed. None was
freed at that time , but he landed
any way and left his cargo with the
Iranians.
Reagan 's harsh attack on the
press in his remarks to Sidey included a charge of "great irresponsibility on the part of the
press , " the claim that the Iranian
affair "wasn 't a failure until the
press got a ti p from that rag in
Beirut (that first disclosed the
U.S. arms shipments to Iran) and
began to play it up, " and the suggestion that news coverage
"could get peop le killed. " He
also likened reporters to "sharks
circling like they now are with
blood
in the water. "

Procedure violates
Constitutional Rights
«*r:

For the sake of argument , let
it be assumed that I went
downtown , was d r u n k and
belli gerent , and broke a few
windows.
I was then arrested and a hearing date was set for me to appear
before the District Mag istrate.
While waiting for the day of
my hearing with the mag istrate ,
a hearing is held on campus by
the Campus Judicial Board (CJB)
because I am a Bloomsburg
University student and fall under
"double jurisdiction. "
According to the "Off-Campus
Freedom of Students " section of
the Pilot , "Students who violate
the law may incur penalties
prescribed by civil authorities ,
but university authority shall
never be used merely to dup licate
the function of general laws. Onl y
where the university ' s interests
are distinct and clearl y involved
shall the special authority of the
university be asserted. "
It would be argued that actions
like "mine " effect the reputation
of the university because a student has been accused . Accused ,
not convicted.
Note , thoug h , the statement
from the Pilot reads "distinct and
clearly involved. "
In accordance with the regulations regarding the CJB hearing,
I g ive an objective view of what
happened , and am questioned by
members of the judicial board and
its advisor.
My lawyer , however , is not
allowed to question witnesses
against mc or my accuser , should
this person be present. I am supposed to do it.
I , totall y unfamiliar with how
to question a hostile witness , am
unab'fc'to and therefore decline to
question my accuser or witnesses
against me. I am a simp le college
student who happens to be afraid
of getting expelled .
According to the Campus
Judicial Board Procedures
1986-87. under "Procedure for
the Hearing , " the hearing is called to order. The charges are read
to all the board members . The

defendant is then brought in , introduced to the board members ,
the board advisor , and to the person bring ing the charges (if such
a person be present).
According to the procedures ,
"the defendant shall then be
¦
reminded of the charges for
which he/she is broug ht before
the board and asked to present
his/her view of the incident briefly and objectivel y. "
The document later states "The
members of the board and the
board advisor shall be permitted
to ask questions of both parties
(defendant and accuser) and any
witnesses presented by the defendant. "
It appears that the burden is on
the defendant to prove innocence.
The accuser is not required to
provide witnesses.
In Bloomsburg University 's
Pilot, it states that in these hearings , "The burden of proof shall
rest upon the individuals bringing the charge. " This means that
the defendant does not have to say
anything. It is up to the accuser
to prove the defendant guilty.
There appears to be a contradiction here .
It also seems odd that the accuser does not have to worry
about providing witnesses or being present, considering the
burden of proof is upon the
accuser.
The Pilot is the written contract
between the university and the
students. This appears to be
violated.
The hearing with the magistrate
is later held downtown. Evidence
and testimony from the hearing
on-campus are submitted and held
to be leg itimate. I , in turn say,
"When asked by The Voice, the
Dean of Student Life , Robert
Norton , said the testimony from
the hearing on-campus was hearsay . ''
I am then told that the
testimony is hearsay , but it is then
added I should have been told that
this type of testimony is an example of more than one exception to
the hearsay rule and is admissi-

flp

ble in court.
I am found guilty because, in
the course of the hearing oncampus, I admitted that I did what
I was accused of. Also remember
that my lawyer was unable to
question anyone involved in
bring ing the charges against me.
The practice of holding a hearing on-campus before one is held
before the District Mag istrate for
an offense committed off-campus
is in violation of ri ghts guaranteed
in the Fifth and Sixth Amendments of the United States
Constitution.
The Fifth Amendment states ,
"No person...shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a
witness against himself... " It
would be argued that the hearing
on-campus was not a criminal
hearing and therefore the amendment did not apply.
However , considering that the
testimony and evidence are admissible later in what is a criminal
case , the violation is leg itimate .
The Sixth Amendment states ,
"In criminal prosecutions , the accused shall enjoy the ri ght... to
be confronted with the witnesses
against him...and to have the
Assistance of Counsel for his
defense. "
It would be argued that this did
not apply for the same reason , not
a criminal prosecution. This too .
however , is found not to be true
because
of
this
future
admissibility.
The system appears to not only deny student rights , but basicprincip les governing the courts
including "innocent until proven
guilty . " At Bloomsburg University, this appears to be reversed.
The system must be revised to
abide by not onl y the Constitution
of the United States , but by the
Pilot , which as mentioned before
is the written agreement between
the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and the
students. Action should be taken
immediatel y by the Community
Government Association and the
Office of the President of the
University to correct an antiquated system of supposed
justice.

Sf not happy,take the bus
Editor:
I was very disappointed when
I read "Ride Board not for
money making " in the Nov. 24
issue of The Voice, this is mainly to the "Pissed Off person and
others who are thinking the same
way about finding rides home.
If you don 't like how much
peop le charge to take you home ,
then take the bus. The bus route ,
thoug h , has a few bad points.
First , you would pay three to
four times more for a round tri p
ticket on a bus than you would
taking a ride board offer. The
person who wrote "Ride Board "
paid $8 round tri p for a ride home
in this guy ' s van.
If this person were to take a bus
home and back , this person
would have paid probabl y
somewhere between $20-$25 , if
not more . Secondly, the bus is
never on time. There are delays
and so many other stops. Also ,
consider the comforts of a radio
and someone who you are at least
familiar with to talk to.
Do not forget the fact that with
a ride home from another student

you usuall y get dropped off at
your front door , not at the bus
depot.
I am one of those people who
take peop le home to their front
doors. I don 't charge $8 round
tri p. I charg e a little less. The
money I do get from my riders
does go for gas , not parties.
It must also be remembered

that the money from riders also
goes for the up keep of the car.
After all of this , if the person
who wrote "Ride Board " is still
"Pissed Off ," then this person
should take the bus and be three
times as pissed off.
A "Fare " Deal

Get off your high horse
Editor:
This is directed to the person
who is Pissed-Off.
Having read your cheerful Letter to the Editor and as someone
who occasionall y takes grateful
students home , I just had to say
a few words in defense of your
friend , the van driver.
By subjectively pointing out the
key phrase- 'to hel p pay gas expenses ' , you overlooked what is
actuall y printed- 'Need help with
expenses ' . Not GAS , expenses.
These include such things as oil ,
tolls , wear and tear on the tire s ,
brake s, seats , etc .

BU Student cites racism
1 love Bloomsburg University.
Members of my famil y that have
attended this school have been
very active partici pants in the
campus community . Younger
members of my famil y that are
enrolled here continue this tradition . And it is because of them I
am compelled to write this
editorial.
Black students on campus continue to suffe r inequalities
throug h a process known as institutional racism. It is a very
touch y subject. Two years ago,
I wrote an editorial concerning its
existence at Bloomsburg University . I defined it as a by-product
of a self-perpetuating circle of
narrowminded people in positions
of power. Because of its subtle
and covert nature , it is difficult
to defend against. Yet it exists.
R e t e n t i o n rates of black
students are so low that examples
of such infractions arc impossible to gather. Of those that do
stay, few arc willing to combat
the issue above the individual
level. So it flourishes. When will
the madness stop?
Efforts to meet with the administration have proved to be
fruitless. The meetings all end the
same way; school officials leave

happy because now they "know
the problems black students face
and the black students go back to
face the problems. No follow-up
correspondence , no update , no
plans of action are ever taken.
Theodore Roosevelt once said ,
"You must learn to do what you
can with what you have where
you are at. " Those of us who
have graduated from Bloomsburg

are shining examples of that statement. In spite of it all , we have
had a few success stories.
However , they are overshadowed by one very alarming statistic.
Less than 200 blacks have
graduated from Bloomsburg since
1972.
How long must black students
try to excel under such horrid
conditions? How long must black
assertiveness be confused with
acts of aggression? How long will
officials in Student Life, Student

Activities , Admissions , Law Enforcement , the College of
Business , etc . continue to treat
black students unfairly ?
How long must black students
be prejud ged because of biases
and stereotypes? How long ?
Perhaps if we stop segregating
ourselves , like one Vice President
told us at a meeting. Well mister ,
let me tell you , all we have are
ourselves! The handful of black
staff , faculty and administrators
are overworked by the countless
number of additional assignments
they are burdened with. Plus , as
of recently, our retention of black
professionals is just as low as for
students.
What can be done? I do not
know. May be we can look for
answers at other institutions that
have successful prog rams. Maybe
if we concentrate on retaining the
black students we have ,
Bloomsburg would not be under
a federal desegregation mandate .
But I must say this , if the university continues to treat my family
unfairl y, deny due process ,
discourage or intimidate for any
reason , I shall return...and not
alone.

desi gner leotard s makes my head
hurt , and besides , I' m allerg ic to
headbands and leg warmers. So
that 's out.
Another suggested meeting
place is the church. This is actual ly a good idea , since one is likely to meet a person of similar
back ground and tastes in one ' s
church. My problem with this
idea is that my church is a small
one. onl y ei ght or nine families .
The closest things we have to
eli g ible bachelorettcs are fourthgrade twins , and there are laws
against that sort of filing.
Next on the checklist is computer dating , but who wants to
dale a computer? I'd much rather
go out with a girl .
I suppose I could do what a lot
oI " college guys do, put up one of
those "Female R o o m m a t e
Wanted for Spring Semester "

signs , but I m looking for
something
a little
more
permanent.
The last resort is the personals
column of the newspaper. How
Jo you sum up your entire life at
live cents per word? Mine would
read : Insane Eng lishman in late
twenties seeks mate. Must be able
to cook or we ' re both in trouble.
Madonna look-alikes need not
app ly. " No. that wouldn 't work.
And the "fabulousl y wealth y
parents not necessary but considered a p lus " clause wouldn 't
go over too well either.
I' m not looking for a "perfect "
woman. I jus t want to find someone who is smart , pleasant ,
caring, fun to be with , and can
identif y every major armored
vehicle used by the British Army
since 1916. Is that too much to
ask'.'

American dating complicated
With all the articles in The
Voice latel y about dating. I
thoug ht I'd belter get my two
pence in.
By the time you get to my age
you realize that it is impossible
for one person to work 44 hours
a week , attend college full time ,
and keep up with the laundry as
well. I' ve gotten to the stage in
life where I need a famil y of my
own . with a Mrs . Ferns and U tile Fernslings running about. The
problem is finding the ri ght mate.
In Eng land, getting a date was
easy . All a young man had to do
was stand on any busy street corner in Ipswich and call out , "Oy !
I' ve got a stead y job. " Within
m i n u t e s , all
the eli g ible
bachelorettcs within earshot had
gathered for more information.
Here in America , however ,
things are much more comp licated. There is no proper
system for sing les to meet each
other , althoug h a few institutions
exist for this purpose. The
primary date-locating device
("meat market " in the lingo) is
the bar. Since I don 't drink and
do not like to hang around peop le who are drinking , the bar is
not an acceptable meeting place.
The next on the list is the health
spa. In my book , exercise is a
four-letter word: dull. The
thoug ht of all those tacky

The Voice has but
one issue left . If
there is something
to be said, say it
now or , until
January , hold your
peace.

You 're absolutely right. Huey
Lewis is a great social commentator of our times; a genuine role
model for all American kids.
Why, he 's right up there with
the bi ggies , wouldn 't you agree?
His name fits right in thereAndy Warhol
John Lennon
Huey Lewis
—hhhmmmm...
I just can 't see how I could
even have imagine John Lennon
being in the same elite league of
artistic geniouses as Huey .
Forgive me, I must have had a
temporary lapse of sanity or
something.
There can be no comparison
between "The Long and Winding

Road" and "Hip to be Square . "
Huey 's number is an autistic , oh
I' m sorry, an artistic masterpiece.
Uh...yeah! That ' s it!
—Roll over Beethoven !
Note : A story in this issue covers
a rock star anti-drug movement.
Nowhere is Huey mentioned .
Having contacted the head promoter of the movement , I was informed that although the Bangles,
Phil Collins , Moon and Dweezil
Zappa and others were in the process of being signed for this series
of promotions , Huey Lewis has
not agreed to partici pate , even
though it is centered in Huey 's
hometown of Los Angeles.

No peace yet in Middle East

From page 1
in crowded , grim camps.
''The most densely populated
area in the world today is not
Bangladesh , but Gaza ," Turner
said. ; ,
' 'The Palestinian legitimite
rights' in the peacy treaty has
di plomatic vagueness. The Arab
countries see it as synonymous
with self-determination and a
separate Palestinian state. To the
United States , it means only that
the Palestinians should have some
say in future negotiations.
"Today , the Arab population
is 1.3, million ," Turner went on
to say . "Within the armistice
lines , they constitute 17.2 percent
of Israel s population. If the annexed territories are considered ,
they form 38.8 percent.
"This could lead to a binational
state, for the Arabs have a triple
birth rate compared to the Israelis
and , also , Jewish immigration to
Israel has been decreasing . By the
year 2000, the ratio could be 58
percent Jews to 42 percent Arabs.
"This is a very serious problem ," Turner claims. "How do
you deal with numbers of that
size? Is it in Israel 's interests to
incorporate the Palestinians into
the state? The debate in Israel today is between keeping all or
some of the territories and between sovereignty or territorial
compromise. "
"The West Bank is perceived
as the key to peace," Turner said .
"There is a need to find the solution , including determining the
degree of Palestinian aspirations
to be realized .
"It is a test for credibility of
American policy . Strong leadership is needed. Reagan , in his last
two years of office, won 't do it;
he was burnt by Lebanon. Israel
has a weak government and
Egypt lacks a Sadat. "
Antony Sullivan , the Director
of Near East Support Services, an
international consulting firm , has
extensive contacts in the Middle
East. He spoke on the the Israeli
and Palestinian points of view.
"Israelis view all political expression as subversive activity .
Terrorism is just a pinprick , "
Sullivan said . "During the last 19
years , 200,000 Palestinians have
been imprisoned; this is one-sixth
of the population. Palestinians
have been placed under house arrest and administrative detention ,
which means 'put in jail. ' "
To the Palestinians , "there is
no such thing as a benign occupation. They feel left out by the
United States and believe that its
support of Israel drives a
wedge. "
"I see very little chance for
peace in the Middle East," according to Sullivan. "Movement in
the United States is necessary . It
is in the national interests of the
United States to support Israel
within its pre-1967 boundaries. It
is against the national interests of
the United States to subsidize
Israel with its 1967 conquests. "
Clovis Maksoud , Ambassador
of the Arab League, spoke on
political and economic relations
between the United States and the
Arab world.
"The biggest concern in the
Arab world is the Israeli dimension. The Israelis , through
V ^-r-m

diplomatic underground activities, can influence the IraqiIranian conflict. This is a useful
instrument in hemmorrhaging the
Arabs . Since Israel has strategic
agreements with the United
States, it behooves people in this
country to inquire about the relationship. "
Calling the Arabs "one nation
of many states ," Maksoud
described Camp David as "a major setback. It was the most
traumatic experience to the Arabs
since the creation of Israel in
1948. It centralized the marginal
issue of the Sinai and made
marginal the central issue of the
Palestinians ."
On the subject of relations with
Israel , Maksoud said "We do not
want to negotiate for negotiation 's
sake. Israel is the only country in
the world that doesn 't define its
borders . Where will this country
stop?"
Saying "the peace option is still
salvageable," he called for a UN
instrument for negotiations and
demanded that Israel leave its
territories.
Thomas Naff , Director of the
Middle East Research Institute at
the University of Pennsylvania ,
spoke on the crucial issue of
water in the Middle East.
Noting that the Middle East is
arid , Naff said water "exhibits
characteristics peculiar to foriegn
affairs issues. Water is essential
to the quality of life. In virtually
every economic policy, water is
a factor.
"When water is scarce, it leads
to conflict ," Naff pointed out.
' 'There are no agreed upon legal
structures for settling riparian
legal disputes , which tends to
produce cooperation even when
there is a lack of trust. It produces
positive changes. "
The Jordan River is an important river in the Middle East. It
is shared by Israel , the West
Bank , and Jordan.
"It is in an advanced stage of
of use," Naff said. "The Jordan
River does not have a large
volume of space. Israel's total
water need is 1750 million cubic
meters (mem) . Thirty percent of
this need is met by the river. Forty percent is taken from an
aquafer from the West Bank.
He continued , "Israel is likely to fall into a water deficit
within two years . It has been
estimated that its total need will
reach 2500 mem by the 21st century. Jordan will increase from 27
mem to 1000 mem. "
Naff also said that after 1967
the water conflict became more
controlled by the military , with
more competition and less stability. In addition , he pointed out that
both Jordan and Israel have experienced in the past two years
the worst drought the countries
have seen in the past 20 years .
David Ben-Dov , the consul
general of Israel in Philadelphia ,
gave an Iraeli perspective on the
conflict in the Middle East.
He gave his impression of one
of the sources of the instability ir
the Middle East.
' 'The Soviet Union has chosen
to promote its own global superpower interests in order to
achieve an inroad into Africa, and

to own maritime hig hways with
the provision of large quantities
of ammunition to Arab countries
against Israel and against the
West, " Ben-Dov said.
"It would havejbeen easier to
achieve a resolution of peace and
no intervention came from the
Ben-Dov
superpowers , "
continued.
Ben-Dov said that the only way
to resolve conflicts is by communication a*id negotiations.
The Israeli official then spoke
about the future .
'•'Relations have gone better
between Egypt and Israel. This
presents us with a very important
key to the future . We hope no
up heavals occur in Egypt due to
economic stress; we hope that the
Egyptian government can
develop its country, " Ben-Dov
said. "We also hope a round of
negotiations can resume with the
help of the United States ."
When questioned about the
Palestinians, Ben-Dov denied that
the Arabs were mistreated.
"The peop le in the West Bank
and Gaza are not refugees ; they
live in a village , " Ben-Dov said.
"Understandably, they do not
cherish the Israeli administration. "
' 'The Camp David accord provides a framework ," Ben-Dov
said. "Democratic elections are
held to elect Palestinian representatives by secret ballot who would
participate in full negotiations
between Jordan and Israel. "
Mark Rosenblum , North
American director for Peace
Now , a liberal group in Israel ,
spoke on Israeli discrimination
against the Palestininan Arabs.
' 'Neither an overwhelming majority of Jews nor an overwhelming majority of Palestinians want
a binational state ," Rosenblum
said. "Another Northern Ireland
situation is emerging with the
mutual recrimination and
hatred. "
"Jews must liberate themselves
from ruling another people. Israel
is not saving national security but
is committing national suicide , "
Rosenblum continued.
Saying that liberal Israelis are
still patriots , Rosenblum outlined the party 's beliefs in Israel's
defense and survival and in the
legitimate rights and aspirations
of the local population through
peaceful dialogue.
The final speaker, Farouk
Helmy , minister of the Egyptian
Embassy in Washington , D.C.,
gave an Egyptian perspective on
the Middle East process.
"There are indeed two
dynamics: violence and peace , "
Helmy said. "At the present
time, we have a generation that
has seen so much war that
violence has been part of the daily
experience of this generation that
has seen to political dreams
destroyed. "
"Those who think terrorism is
a cancer that must be wiped out
do not think of what history

shows; time and time again a
society that has no choice will
resort to violence ," Helmy
continued.
Helmy also said , "Egypt
believes tnat the statu s quo will
increase tensions between Israel
and the Arab countries; this could
lead to wide escalation outside the
Middle East ," Helmy commented. "We want the peace process at full speed. "
Helmy said he feels that the
U.S. has the potential to make a
contribution to the peace process.
He said that when the U.S. took
part in the process before , this
produced results.
Attendance during the week of
the symposium generally ranged
from poor to moderate .
Dr. Peter Bohling, one of the
organizer., of the event , commented , "Maybe it 's not apathy.
Perhaps the students need some
more awareness. People don 't
read newspapers. In one sense it 's
nice that the university provides
an atmosphere that provides activities for students , but it shuts
them out fro m the outside world.

Videodisc system aids
sign language learning
by Wendy Rauscher
for The Voice

Professors fro m the Department
of
Communication
Disorders/Special Education and
Instructional Systems Development recentl y collaberated to
create a Computer Based Interactive Videodisc system which
presents sign language vocabulary
to students.
The introduction of this system
allows an increase in the number
of students able to learn sign
language , provides a faster and
more efficient way of learning
sign language, and increases the
number of words learned by
students , according to Samuel B.
Slike, coordinator of th Education

of the Hearing Impaired area.
The program , initiated by Slike,
Dr. Harold J. Bailey, and Sheilah
Pantaleo, is being completed by
Ken Job, a graduate assistant in
the Instructional Technology
Master 's program , and Patricia
Tarney, a graduate assistant in
Education of the Hearing
Impaired.
According to Slike, this is the
fi rst program of this type used in
the area. Dr. Bailey, director of
the Center for Instructional
Systems Development, said that
the si gn language program
represents an excellent example of
how the computer based interactive video technology can be used to enhance and facilitate the
learning process.

The games room shuffle

Dave Burian

As 1 sit here try ing to flesh out
my latest column , I am serenaded by the haunting strains of the
Eag les ' 'Hotel California ' , as
well as the various bleeps and ditties of the electronic pinball
machines. Don 't get me wrong,
I reall y enjoy listening to the free
music , but it 's effects on my concentration
are
somewhat
annoy ing.
As a freshman , I did spend
many, many hours in the Games
Room because of the newlyfound freedom I experienced due

to lack of parental control. I was
also " there because of utter
boredom , and the countless hours
of whiling away time in front of
the television set with my fellow
louage lizard s in North Hall
(which was all-male at the time)
quickl y grew tiresome.
In fact I am quite sure that the
money I spent fruitlessly on video
games hel ped in insuring the expansion of what are now The
Voice 's current headquarters .
You see, the Games Room was
a much larger behemoth at that
time , providing for the student
populace an even greater range of
diversions to choose from.
The bountiful video selections
included such precursors as
Asteroids , Donkey Kong, and
that apocal yptic favorite , Missile
Command. Defender seems to be
the onl y video game that has
withstood the test of time (my
four years here) and is still
faithfull y occupy ing a position
within these walls.
Pool is (and probabl y will
always be) the most popular at-

traction in the Games Room ,
because of it 's inexpensiveness
and also the fierce competition
and wagering that occasionally
takes place. But most of all , it is
often a forum for the coy poses
and attempts at attention that are
thrown glaring ly across the room
by both sexes.
My favorite affinity about the
Games Room comes from the impenetrable smoke that invariabl y
permeates the atmosphere.
But I also enjoy the blast furnace that accompanies the entrance of a visitor on a cold winter
night , usuall y when it is crowded and quite obstreperous.
All in all , it is a place that can
easil y command the attentions
and cash of the student that seeming ly has nothing to do. It also
provides a welcome diversion to
the student who is tired of stud ying and requires some tactile
relief.
I visit it now onl y infrequently, as I prefer the piano of George
Winston to the incessant , comical
dribblinss of Ms. Pacman.

Norwegiansweethearts score
artistic hit with new album

Ken Kirsch

What Rolling Stone has passed
off as a useless attempt at raising
pop rock to the level of art is actuall y not quite that mercurical.
The Norweg ian sweethearts have
returned with Scoundre l Days ,
their second album on Warner
Bros. Records.
The majority of the record is
dreamy syntho-pop, with a more
personal tone than that of their

debut record . Hunting Hi gh and
Low. Lyricist Pal Waaktar writes
of romantic situations with a real
flair; leaving it up to vocalist
Morten Harket to get the message
across throug h his soaring, prepuberty voice. What was at first
believed to be a dream band of
airheads designed to make a promotor a lot of bucks throug h
poster sales has turned out to be
a trio of trul y talented musicians
and serious songwriters .
Almost absent from their first
album , guitarist Pal Waaktar
takes center stage on ' 'The Swing
of Things ," a dreamy ballad at
Perhaps the bi ggest difference
between this album and their
debut is the instrumenta l advancement apparent on Scoundrel
Days. Instead of the drumm a c h i n e infested computer
rh ythms of "Take on me " we

have the authentic , live studio
drums of "I' ve been Losing
you. "
the beg inning; onl y to turn into
a veangeful frustrated rocker
about losing love.
"We sit and watch umbrellas
fly /I ' m trying to keep my
newspaper dry/I hear myself say
'my boat 's leaving now '/So we
shake hands and cry /And so now
we must wave goodbye. "

There will most likely be no
major commercial success for this
record ; as it is being marketed
more as a great p iece of music
rather a hit-ridden Top 40 LP the
likes of Hunting Hig h and Low.
There is no "Take on me " on this
record ; rather it is an evolution
of a new band destined for bigger and better things besides
heartthrob posters on the walls of
schoolgirls bedrooms.

Clint Eastwood a grunt9
in 'Heartbreak Ridge

Gunnery
Seargant
Tom
Hi ghway (Clint Eastwood) has
spent his life in the Marine Corps.
A tough , hard-drinking traditionalist, he requests reassi gnment to the 2nd Marine Reconnaissance Platoon , the unit where
he started his long and illustrious
career.
Hi ghway served in the Korean
War , where he won the Congressional Medal of Honor , and in the
Vietnam War , where he was also
hi ghl y decorated. He has now
returned to what he knows best:
the t r a i n i n g and readiness
preparation of fi ghting Marines.
During the process of resettlement , Hig hway encounters old
friends and relationships , as well
as some new problems.

He tries to understand his personal failings in his broken marriage , attempting to rekindle the
spark i of feeling with his ex-wife
Agg ie (Marsha Mason).
He also renews his life-long
friendshi p with Master Seargant
Choozoo (Arlcn Dean Snyder)
and the sympathetic barmaid Little Mary (Eileen Hcckart).
However , his duty assignment is
complicated by his commanding
officers.
The battalion leadershi p is held
by Major Powers (Everett
McGill), whose references are
limited to the supp ly depot and a
keen eye for bureaucratic paper
work .
Hi ghway ' s platoon leader.

Lieutenant Ring (Boy d Gaines),
is simp ly a well -intentioned
tumbler fresh out of Officer Candidate School .
Hi gway 's p latoon is a mess.
The key characters arc basically
goof-offs with no real understanding of what it takes to be a
li ghting Marine.
Examp les include Stitch (Mario
Van Peebles), a jive-talking
hustler who would prefer being
a rock and roll star; Apontc
(Ramon Franco), a distant ,
brooding individual with famil y
problems ; Profile (Tom Villard),
a good-natured flake; Johanson
(Pete r Koch), a huge mountain of
a man who can 't seem to stay out
of the bri « .

There are others : Fragetti (Vincent Irizarry) is a hard-boiled insti gator who became a Marine to
stay out of jail; there 's Quinones
(Mike Gomez), a competitive
life r who has always been a
disci pline problem ; and Collins
(Rodney Hill), a young, fresh
recruit out to prove himself.
Hi ghway 's uni que combat experience quickl y hel ps establish
his credibility with his platoon
and hel ps give the "impossible
training process much needed
clout.
Also , Hi gway 's references do
not go unnoticed by the base comMeyers
m a n d e r . Colonel
(Richard Venture).
But the entire readiness/training process suddenly becomes a

From a real professional

Some advice on that used car buy
private individual who will pay
for any repairs needed once they
have your money in hand.
In Pennsylvania , all used car
dealers , salespersons , and inspection mechanics must have a state
license in order to do business. A
professional automobile dealer
also has a public reputation to
protect , so it is in his best interest
to satisfy his customers , as word
of mouth is the best advertising
there is; either for or against him.
A private individual has no such
incentive to give you a good deal.
If , however , you have found
what you believe to be a good buy
in a used car , ask the owner
(whether a dealer or private individual) if they will allow you to
have the car checked by your
mechanic. A used car is an expensive purchase and no used car
is perfect. There are flaws in
every vehicle. If the seller has
nothing to hide , he should have
no objections to your having the
$ car
by an impartial third
« partychecked
.
lEJ
It is well worth the $10 to $30
$ dollars that it costs to have the car
checked by a professional
mechanic , especially if he
discovers hidden defects which
fij may cost several hundred dollars
3$ to repair. Remember, since you
32} hired him , the mechanic will be
looking out for your interests, and
g should be able to give you a list
of any defects or future problem
^
&S areas in the vehicle, as well as an
estimate of repair costs.

Editor:
After having read Wanda
Willis ' article on buy ing a used
car in the Nov. 17 issue of The
Voice, I felt as a professional auto
mechanic that perhaps I could offer some additional ti ps which
might be hel p ful to the first time
car buyer , or the "car illiterate. "
First , while there are many excellent bargains to be found when
buy ing a used car from a private
individual , it is also much easier
to get stuck with a lemon. Most
used car dealers offer some type
of warranty on their vehicles ,
while you will rarely find a

near its end-and a rite of passage,
both with the women he loves as

a Marine Corps tradition of

Seargant Tom
Gunnery
Hig hway is a professional
Marine . He is also a man in
transition.
Shot entire ly on location in
Camp Pendleton in Oceanside ,
Calif. , and Vieques Island , near
Puerto Rico , the film was made
in conjunction , with the U.S.
Department of Defense and with
the special cooperation of the
U.S. Marine Corps.
A Marine advisor was assigned to the film from the outset
(Lieutenant Colonel Fred Peck,),
and every effort was made to
make the production as accurate
and representative of the Marine
Corps as possible.
Consistent with this approach ,
off-duty marines were hired as
extras whenever possible , with
actual 1 st Reconaissance Marines
doubling actors for tactical amphibious assault sequences.

Consumer guides , while based
on the average , are not completely accurate. A more reliable
method is to base your opinion on
the actual car under consideration. For examp le , while many
consumer reports rate Honda
eng ines as one of the best import
engines , I have experienced more
failureswith these engines in the
past than any other make.
Odometer mileage is very important to the value of the car ,
but , again , it is not an absolute
indicator of condition. I have seen
many cars . with over 100,000
miles on them that were in much
better condition than cars with
much less mileage. The mosfimportant facto r is how well the
vehicle was maintained in those
miles.
When looking at a used car ,
especiall y in the $2 ,000 and less
price range , you should expect to
find some signs of wear. After
all , it is a USED car. Small dents,
scratches , or tears will lower the
value of the car somewhat, but
mechanical condition, is more important if you are looking for
dependable transportation. Some
things to look for are :
VEHICLE HEIGHT-The car
should sit level from side to side.
The rear of the vehicle should be
close to the same height as the
front. If the car is "jacked up "
in the rear , the suspension and
steering parts will wear out much
faster , since more of the weight

Rockers unite against drugs
by Dennis McDougal
1986 . Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES- "A good friend
of mine , Sid Vicious , died of
drugs , " former Sex Pistols
guitarist Steve Jones says in an
MTV anti-drug spot that began
airing Friday, November 28. "I
nearl y died from drugs. Drugs
suck. "
At a Rock A gainst Drugs
kickoff press confe rence Thursday , Californi a Attorney General
John Van dc Kamp agreed with
both what Jones said and how he
said it. Van dc Kamp 's office
contributed $50,000 to hel p produce the spots.
In fact . Van dc Kamp said, he
hopes the Jones spot and 19 other
public-service announcements
like it will generate controversy
when broadcast over MTV and
any other network willii m to give

them airtimc.
"Some people may be offend ed by some of the language that 's
used , " Van dc Kamp said.
"They have to place themselves
in the 20th Century . "
Van de Kamp, who selfconsciousl y referred to himself as
a "buttoncd-down attorney
general . " was not the onl y
establishment fi gure to put in an
appearance. Sharing his seman tic sentiments as well as a scat on
the dais Thursday with heavy metal rocker Ronnie Dio , pop
singer Belinda Carlisle and ex
Sex Pistol Jones were Billboard
magazine
publisher
Sam
Holdsworth and Pepsi-Cola
marketing executive Biad Brown.
"This campaign is very important to this industry , " Holdsworth
said. "Naturall y, at Billboard .
we 're behind it 1, 000 percent. "
Pepsi, which has already begun
a $100,000 anti-drug campai gn,
contributed an undisclosed

Asbestos

amount to the production.
MTV President Tom Frcston
said his company 's three
networks-VH-1 , Nickcldeon , and
MTV will contribute the
equivalent of $3 million in broad
cast airtimc for the anti-drug
spots.
Organizer Danny Goldberg
said that most of the actual performance and production costs
also are being cont ributed.
Goldberg , president of Gold
Mountain Records , has encourag ed many of his own acts, in
eluding Carlisle , to partici pate for
free.
'•There was a time when rock
and roll and commercial products
were incompatible, " Goldberg
said.
In addition to the Jones spot.
Goldberg unveiled six other
public -service spots featuring An
dy Tay lor . Kiss ' Gene Simmons .
Dio . Mr. Miste r, Bon Jovi and
Motley due 's Vince Neil.

is being carried in the front. This
may also cause the car to steer or
stop poorly. If the car is lower on
one side , this may indicate
spring, suspension , or frame
damage.
LEAKS—There should be no
spots or puddles under the car ,
but some seepage on the engine
is normal as the car gets older.
Green spots indicate an antifreeze
leak , black is from oil , and red
or blue indicate transmission or
power steering leaks. Be sure to
check for leaks after the test
drive , as some leaks may only occur when the car is moving.
NOISES—Eng ine noises may
come from a variety of sources ,
and may or may not be serious.
If in doubt, have a mechanic look
at the car , as some may be an indication of expensive trouble
ahead. A clicking noise from the
engine may indicate worn parts
in the valve train , or low oil
pressure. A knocking or deep
thud in the engine usually indicates engine bearing problemsavoid this car , as these problems
are usually quite expensive to
correct. A slight pinging noise on
acceleration or when climbing
hills is usually caused by incorrect ignition timing or poor quality fuel , and does not usually indicate a major problem. A clicking noise from the area of the
front of the engine at idle is usually caused by worn or improperly
adjusted belts-again, this is usually not a major expense to correct.
GAUGES AND LIGHTSCheck all of the gauges and indicator lights on the dash with the
engine running. Normal oil
pressure on a healthy engine is
usually between 35 and 50 lbs.
Low oil pressure , especially
when driving, usually indicates a
worn engine—avoid this car. The

ammeter should show a positive
reading. If the car has a "check
engine " light on, or if it comes
on at any time while driving, this
indicates a problem in the computer system which controls the
engine. This may or may not be
expensive to repair-this car
should be checked by a mechanic.
RUST-While body rust will only get worse , you should also
bend down and look under the
car. Check for rust holes in the
floor or frame. Any rust holes
underneath will probably have to
be repaired when inspection time
comes, and major rust may make
the car unsafe to drive. Any rust
holes , or leaks , in the exhaust
system may make the car unsafe
to drive.
FLUIDS-Check the oil. A black
color is normal , as all oil turns
black from engine heat after a few
hours. You should be looking for
grit , indicating dirty oil , and probably poor engine maintenance.
There should be no white in the
oil , as this indicates water. Water
in the oil can come from a cracked block or head, or a bad head
gasket. These are all relativel y
expensive repairs . Check the antifreeze. It should not be rusty , or
have any trace of oil in it. A white
milky color indicates that someone has added stop-leak to
temporarily p'
a water leak
somewhere . Thi e should not be
any white deposits inside the
radiator. If the engine compartment is brown , this may indicate
that the car once overheated and
sprayed rusty water.
The brake fluid should be clean
and full. An empty side in the
brake fluid reservoir indicates a
leak somewhere. The transmission fluid should not be brown
colored or smell strongly. This
may mean possible future
transmission problems. Make

Institutional excellence
subject of campus study

The Office of Institutional
Planning , Research, and Information Management is conducting a
research project designed to
measure "Institutional Excellence. "
Following the study, an institutional model of excellence will be
tested and then disseminated
across the nation.
One aspect of the study deals
with how involvement in the campus activities and organization
compliments student learning.
Therefore, students involved in
various campus-based programs
and organizations have been
selectively chosen to complete a
"Student Involvement Questionaire . " This questionaire
should be in the student mailbox
this week.
In order for the study to be
completed, candid response and
cooperation from the select
students are crucial.
Students involved in campus
organizations or programs should
check their mail boxes this week .
According to the office, quick action will make a difference in the

overall success of the study .
The questionaire, which will
take about five minutes to complete, should be returned to the
Office of Institutional Planning ,
Research , and Information
Management by Dec. 10, 1986.
Any questions or clarifications
regarding the study may be
directed to Dr. Ruhul Amin, 139
Waller Administration Building ,
Extension 4054.

sure that the transmission shifts
smoothly and the engine should
not race during shifts. Most
repairs
are
transmission
expensive.
TIRES-The front tires can be
good indicators of steering or
suspension problems. They
should be evenl y worn-no bald
spots or worn edges. Flat spots
on the edges may indicate worn
shocks or macpherson struts.
Tires should be the correct size
for the car , and radial tires and
bias ply tires should never be
mixed on the same axle.
Never buy a car without starting and driving it. A road test
will show any small problems
which may not be apparent otherwise. The car should start easily, accelerate smoothly, and stop
straight and smoothly. Check the
heater , air conditioner , windows ,
wi pers, and lights during the road
test. There should be no smoke
from the tail pipe. Bluish smoke
indicates a worn engine. Black
smoke, and black deposits in the
tail pipe may indicate a carburetor
or fuel injection problem. Excessive white smoke indicates a
water leak inside the engineexpensive to repair.
Generally, the newer the car
and the more options it has , the
more expensive it will be to
repair. Preventive maintenance ,
such as regular oil changes , is
essential to keeping the car in
good , trouble-free condition .

David Flore s photograp hy has
recentl y opened its door for
business on the third fioor of the
Small Mall , 106 East Main St.,
Bloomsburg, Pa.
David Flore s, ori ginall y from
Trinidad , West Indies , has been
in business for several years at his
studio located at 682 Sixth Ave ,
New York City .
He received his education fro m
City University of" New York.
After working in the Bloomsburg
area five years ago , he decided it
was an ideal community in which
to raise a famil y. To wit , a new
studio has been born.
Both studios are in oncration

hazards. "
"We don 't have the abundance
of sprayed-on ceilings containing
asbestos that many other places
have , " he said. "One of our
steamfittcrs has been sent to a
school in Colorado for asbestos
management so that we have someone on staff with knowled ge oi
the proper techni ques for handling the material according to state
regulations. "
One of the five ways to abate
asbestos is used at BU. It is the
use of viny l canvas wrappers or
special paint made for the purpose of concealing the asbestos.
The most serious areas was in
the basement of Centennial Gym.
where some asbestos from around
the pipes was knocked loose. But
it is now controlled and the
asbestos around the pipes was encapsulated around the p i pes.
The gym was the onl y place on
campus that got a potential hazard
rankin g of six. which is the
worst.
"Our aim is to remove the
asbestos over the next two years
in the areas that ranked four , live
or six in the report. " McCulloch
stated. It is a carefully controlled method of removal and if it is
not kept in control, it can become
friable (air b orn) . "
Buildings with rankings of four
or five , the location of the
asbestos and the estimated costs
to rep lace it are :
-Centennial Gym
$16 ,400
—Carver Hall basement , ranked 5. S3.800
--Carver Hall basement , ranked 5. $11,600
—Navy Hall basment. Room
13. ranked 5 , SI22.500
--Simon Hall basement , ranked 5, SI2,900
--The Carpenter Shop, first
fioor shop room , ranked 4 $4,900
--Centennial Gy m . basement
canoe storage room, ranked 4.
$32,400
—Old Science Hall basement
air circulation room , ranked 4.
SI 2.400
--Sutliff
Hall
basement
mechanical room, ranked 4.
$4 , 900
Funds for the abatement work
in the hi ghest ranking areas will
come from the reserve over the
next two fiscal years.
A full copy of the SSM report
will be available in the Andruss
Library at the circulation desk.

This past week was the kickoff
of yet another college basketball
season ranking last year 's NCAA
champion , Louisville , at the top
once again.
But thanks to the Great Alaskan
Shootout , Louisville now posts a
0-3 record , knocking them out of
the Associated Press 's Top 20.
This year 's season is totally unpredictable as there is not one
totall y dominant team that could
go out on the court every night
and know they are going to win.
North Carolina has the only allaround team in the country , yet
they have suffered an early
season defeat to the Bruins of

order to continue to perform in
the sport. The direction of
thought did not drift in any way
toward actually getting an education in college.
It is saddening to note that this
predicament exists at a school
which is relativel y small when
compared to some of the major
universities in this country. There
is something unfair about allowing this pattern of thought to
continue.
One of the major stumbling
blocks to rectify ing this problem
is the fact that a school with a
good record in a popular sport
receives more money from alumni than one that doesn 't.
Maybe this is what should be
looked at. Does the money that
can be accumulated with a good
athletic program offset the losses
faced by an average athelete who
does not have the talent to go "all
the way " and ends up with
nothing but a few letters?

The concept of intercolleg iate
sports ori g inally was not intended for the major networks. The
man who first strapped on a
helmet against another college
was not thinking about the ratings
or the price of a ticket to the Rose
Bowl.
Courses including lawn watering and basket weaving have no
real academic value and were
nonto allow
desi gned
academians to remain in college
for the sole purpose of
perpetuating the "programs" of
various institutions across the nation. It became a cliched joke
after years of embarrassing exmajor
involving
posures
universities.
Fortunatel y this situation does
not exist at Bloomsburg University . It is sad that conditions are
not the same across the country .
The present state of intercolleg iate sports has left us at a
juncture where we must decide
what is trul y important. As
students , the atheletes , it seems ,
must decide whether to play
sports or get an education?
Even at Bloomsburg, a situation exists that does need
examining.
Speaking with one of the
freshman atheletes on campus , it
was learned that the struggle is to
stay afloat in one 's classes in

Three point goal wreaks havoc in college
NCAA tournament play , as was
done originally with the shot
clock. The Rule , as it henceforth
will be known , will be in force
in New Orleans on March 30
when the national championshi p
is decided. The Shot , aas it
henceforth will be called , won 't
be from a long distance , a la the
NBA , to make it a shot used only on occasion. Instead it will be
a 19-foot , 9-inc h jumper , a shot
that almost any college-caliber
player can make comfortably.
"It makes you nauseous," said
Southern California Caoch
George Raveling . "The next
thing you know , they 'll have a
trained seal on the court.
Raveling 's point , which
reflects the view of a majority of
the nation 's college coaches , is
this: The new rule changes the
game so radically that the game
being played isn't basketball. It's
some kind of circus , a sort of
minigame of H-O-R-S-E within
what passes for a basketball
game. You remember H-O-R-SE , the game in which you take
turns shooting from a spot. The
guys who won were almost never
the best basketball players. They
were the guys too slow or too

small to do anything except shoot.
Basketball is supposed to be
more than a contest of who can
jump-shoot. "The way I learned
it , the team that makes the most
field goals and the most foul shots
is supposed to be the one that
wins , " said Navy Coach Pete
Hermann afte r his team did exactly that against North Carolina
State on Saturday but lost. "I
think what a lot of people can 't
understand is why& Why did
they need The Rule?"
The answer to that , according
to members of The Committee,
as it henceforth will be known.
is that the three-point shot will
open up the inside, because zones
can 't back in on big men , and it
will bring the little man back into the game. And , committee
secretary and spokesman Edward
Steitz said Saturday after the
Navy-North Carolina State game,
"the fans love it. "
First , there is no evidence that
the fans love The Rule or hate it.
Second , if the fans loved a trained seal , would The Committee
pass a rule requiring on on each
team? It often has been said that
fans go to the Indianapolis 500 to
see bloodshed. Should the race

committee pass a rule requiring
it?
As for the question of zones
and little men , good little men
always will have a place in the
game. Tyrone Bogues and Spud
Webb certainly have had no trouble finding a spotlight without a
three-point
shot.
Johnny
Dawkins , who is 6 feet 1, won
the Naismith Award as the best
college player in the country last
season without the benefit of a
three-point rule. Steve Alford
(6-1) and Scott Skiles (6-0) didn 't
have bad years either.
Finally, the zone. Coaches with

Five basketball seasons ago on
a
March
afternoon
in
Greensboro , N.C., two superb
basketball teams met to decide the
Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship. Virg inia
had Ralph Sampson and Othell
Wilson; North Carolina had
James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and
Michael Jordan. With 12 minutes
left, Tar Heels Coach Dean Smith
decided to hold the ball. Cavaliers
Coach Terry Holland opted not
to chase. So, while the crowd
agonized , all those talented

wasn 't the point: What could
have been a superb game became
a boring one. Clearly , something
had to be done. The college game
needed a clock to prevent all-out
stalls that stole the game from the
athletes and put it into the hands
of too-cautious coaches. It took
the NCAA Rules Committee four
years, but after much experimentation and a lot of delays, it finally

to beat the zone if that 's the way
Holland wants to play . There is
nothing wrong with that. Forcing
a coach to be innovative to get the

"A good team will still find a

That brat is back to stay
by Mike Mullen

Sports Editor

"Oh God!! How could I miss
that?!" hasn 't been heard on the
tennis courts for quite sometime.
In fact , the wincy little voice
that always uttered those words,
and some others that aren 't
suitable for printing, is beg inning
to make his way back in the world
of professional tennis.
John Patrick McEnroe is slowly climbing the ladder back to
where he once was , the number
one player in the world.
A very interesting man , you
cither love him or you hate him.
Obviousl y , the Eng lish and
Wimbeldon organizers desp ise
h i m as much as the fans at the
U.S. Open adore h i m .
His on the court antics have
caused some problems for this
Stanford University grad , but he
could care less.
He demonstrated this when he
took a self-imposed exile from the
game for seven months , mainl y
to sort out his life with his bride
and child.
He knew that coming back

would be difficult , but he is slowl y w o r ki n g his way throug h the
ranks back to the top.
McEnroe, currentl y ranked
twelfth , recentl y defeated number
two ranked Ivan Lendl in a match
that demonstrated the professionalism of both men , and the
respect (hey have for each other 's
ability.
With McEnroe up a set , and
serving to Lendl in game seven
of the tied (3-3) second set . some
interesting things took p lace.
The score was love-15, and as
McEnroe went to serve, a part of
the brodcasting booth fell to the
ground, breaking both men 's
concentration.
McEnroe looked to the booth
and, seeing friend and Davis Cup
coach A r t h u r Ashe , commented ,
"You better run while you still
can A r t h u r ! " With that Lendl
turned and added. "I know we
play bad. but not that badly . "
Both remarks received roars from
the alread y enthusiastic crowd.
When the court had quieted and
McEnroe was read y to serve
again , Lendl innocentl y asked the
head linesman. "Love-40. cor-

rect? " causing laug hter again to
run throug h the crowd as well as
McEnroe himself.
Not to be outdone McEnroe
challenged Lendl to sp in his
racket for the next point, and promptl y lost.
The head l i n e s m a n asked
McEnroe if he conceeded (lie
point and he rep lied, '"A bet is a
bet. "
McEnroe lost that game , but
eventuall y won the match 6-3 ,
6-4.
There is no doubt that the spoil
of tennis has missed this man . or
brat, as the press has labeled him.
One can onl y imag ine how dull
the sport would be without his
constant chattering to himself on
the court.
Althoug h he may have lossed
in the finals of the AT&T Invitational to Boris Becker, it won ' t
be long before he makes his way
to number one again.
With the match he gave Becker
on Sunday , it is quite obvious that
everyone knows that John Patrick
McEnroe is back.
