Faculty union says vote 'no

Executive Editor

A vote to determine whether
thc faculty here shall endorse a
proposed governance structure
for Bloomsburg University will
take place Dec. 10-11. Thc faculty is being urged to vote "no. "
APSCUF , the faculty union ,
recentl y approved a resolution advising the faculty to vote against
the proposal.
"The resolution , approved at
the general membershi p meeting
on Nov. 17 , urges the faculty of
Bloomsburg University to vote
'no ' on the "Framework for
Governance
Structure
at
Bloomsburg University " proposal , " said Dr. James R. Lauffcr , associate professor of
geography and earth science and

p r e s i d e n t of B l o o m s b u r g ' s
chapter of APSCUF.
"We felt it was not in
APSCUF' s best interests ," Lauffcr 'said. "The way the document
is structured denies faculty any
control of thc Planning and
Bud get Committee.
"Also, thc control o f t h e committee is left up to the director of
p lanning , " Lauffe r added. "It
(control) should bc more directly associated with the president 's
office. "
Hc said it also would create a
lack of APSCUF desi gnated
membershi p
on
certain
committees.
Thc vote , ori g inall y scheduled
to bc held on Dec . 2-3, was
postponed a week.
"It was a matter of convenience , " Lauffe r said. "An elec-

tion o f a search and screen committee for a dean of Arts and
Sciences was scheduled and it
was decided to combine the
two. "
According to Dr. Daniel Pantalco , interim provost and vicepresident for Academic Affairs ,
APSCUF has voiced a scries of
concerns to the faculty. He added that the document was
prepared by a faculty committee.
The committee 's members are
faculty appointed by BU President Harry Ausprich , with the input of several administrators and
faculty.
"I have not heard any strong
comp laints about governance
from faculty , " said Lauffer about
thc current lack o f a governance
structure . "People would bc
more comfortable with a gover-

nance structure in place. "
Shery l Bryson , director of
Universi ty Relations , said , "The
administration , of course , wishes
to sec a governance structure in
place. " She added it would aid
communication among thc faculty
and between the faculty and thc
adminstr ation.
Lauffer added , thoug h , that this
proposed governance structure
lacks coordination between the
committees w i t h i n the total
structure .
Asked if thc faculty would bc
disenfranchised should the proposal bc approved , Lauffer said ,
"No. the faculty would still have
contractual activities. " He added, however , that Ihe faculty
would lose si gnificant input into
thc P l a n n i n g
and Bud get
Committee.

collections include works from
Michelangelo , and the Accademia , where Michelangelo ' s
David is displayed.
Also planned are visits to the
San Marco museum, the churches
of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce , and day tri ps to Pisa ,
Lucca and Siena.
Sperling said the entourage will
stay in the Villa Delle Fordici , a
small villa overlooking parts of
Florence.
Sperling, who received her
Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance art
from Brown University , says she
is experienced and qualified for
the Florentine Renaissance art
course.
"I have lived in Ital y for two
years , and have visited Florence
five times ," Sperling said.

She added that she will use her
experience to orientate the
students to Florence to make the
tri p a pleasant one .
Sperling said the art course in
Florence will g ive the student a
chance to experience the
Renaissance works in person.
"I feel that viewing the art is
more important than seeing it in
a book , " Sperling said. "The
main idea behind the course is to
allow the student to see the works
in person rather than fro m a picture . "
She added that pictures also
tend to distort the view ofthe art
works.
' 'The whole city is a monument
to Renaissance art and culture , "
Sperling said , adding that the ci-

ty should be seen as a whole and
that photograp hs cannot give the
full perspective.
Sperling said that there is so
much to see in Florence that in
her five visits to there she has
missed many art works.
"The students will be given a
list of works which we missed in
our tour ," Sperling said.
The students can use the list to
find the works if they plan to stay
an additional week (at no additional cost) or plan to return in the
future.

course in Florence, Ita ly contact

have no access to the files or
papers...have done just exactl y
thc same thing. "
Asked if he would advise his
Cabihbt officers to also remain
silent behind the Fifth Amendment , Reagan answered: "The
individuals will have to make that
decision for themselves , just as
these two have. "
On Cap itol Hill , Durenberger
said the committee has made
"tentative decisions " to call
Cabinet-level officials. "I said
Cabinet-level because there are
other people at the NSC that are
involved ," he added. He would
not explain what, he meant.
Then Durenberger joined
Democrats by hinting that Reaga/i
mi ght be able to save Congress
a lot of trouble by telling all. He
said the committee is try ing to put
together documents and quiz the
president 's aides "in order to
come to an answer which I am
afraid the American public
assumes that the president already
knows. And if he does , it would
obviousl y hel p every body if he
told us about it. "
The chairman 's remarks came
on the heels of critical words
from Brussels by one of Reagan 's
own Cabinet members , Defense
Secretary Caspar Weinberger.
The Pentagon chief also said it
would be hi ghly unusual for the
president not to know that the
United States used the proceeds
from its secret sales of weapons
to Iran , labeled a terrorist state ,
to hel p the contra rebels fi ghting
the Sandinista government of
Nicaragua.
For Reagan not to know , said
Weinberger , would be "clearly
the exception for anything as important as this. The president has

to know what is being done in his
name. " As for the White House
argument that it was secretly
dealing with Iranian moderates ,
Weinberger said Wednesday
there was no one left to deal with
in Tehran except "fanatical
lunatics. "
Back in Congress , House Majority Leader James Wri ght , DTexas , and House Minority
Leader Bob Michel , R-Ill., sat
side-by-side to announce the decision to form a blue-ribbon committee made up of nine
Democrats and six Republicans to
conduct an inquiry into the
scandal.
Senate and House leaders had
discussed forming a joint committee but quickly concluded that it
would be virtuall y unworkable. It
was unclear how or whether the
two panels would coordinate their
investigations .
The House committee is slated
to include at least three veterans
of the House Judiciary Committee that voted articles of impeachment against President Richard
M. Nixon , causing him to resign.
They are Judiciary Committee
Chairman Peter Rodino , D-N.J.,
who led the inquiry ; Government
Operations Committee Chairman
Jack Brooks , D-Texas , and Rep.
Hamilton Fish , R-N.Y., the top
Republican on Judiciary .
Wri ght , speaking after a
meeting with Democratic
chairmen whose committees
might logically claim pieces of
the investigation , said he will include all of them on the blueribbon panel , which will be
granted subpoena powers .
Besides Brooks and Rodino ,
they are House Armed Services
Committee Chairman Les Aspin ,

Students to see Renaissance art

Dr. Christine Sperling, of
Bloomsburg University 's art
department, says the summer art
history course scheduled for June
10-30, 1987 in Florence , Ital y

Renaissance art in person.
The course , called Later European Art (31-236), will focus on

Students will visit the Uffizi

WASHINGTON-Senate and
House leaders announced Thursday that they will' create two
separate select committees similar
to the old Senate Watergate panel
to look into the Iran arms-sale
scandal , and Capitol Hill investigators gave them an earl y
hand by moving to seize important documents .
"We have people fly ing around
the country this morning serving
subpoenas for documents , " said
Sen. David Durenberger , TMinn., the chairman of the Intelli gence Committee , which is
conducting a p r e l i m i n a r y
investi gation.
Durenberger said that it was
vital for the lawmakers to move
fast. As many documents as
possible must be picked up, he
said , "because when a case like
this comes up, everybody reaches
for the shredder. "
The two ex-White House officials said to be most directl y involved with the scandal , former
national security adviser Vice
Adm. John Poindexter and his
National Security Council aide ,
Lt. Col. Oliver North , have
already refused to testif y ,

before Durenberge r 's committee.
Thursday , President Reagan ,
who earlier announced that he
wanted his aides to come clean
with Congress, said it was all
right with him for them to plead
the Fifth.
Reagan , referring to the refusal
of North and Poindexter to talk ,
said Thursday : "It is not new or
unusual. It 's happened many
times before that individuals who

Commentary

Silence is questioned
In the course of this semester ,
The Voice has aired issues and
illustrated actions in order to
make its readership aware of
what is going on.
In the course of the semester ,
The Voice has brought up questions about or covered issues including the text book policy on
campus , the disci plinary policies
at BU , the actions or inaction of
certain offices of the administration , the voter reg istration
"misunderstanding " and another
that should not have been.
The paper has presented a fair
and objective view of events and
problems affecting the campus
community on the news pages ,
and has allowed opinions to be
aired on the commentary page.
On the front page of today 's
issue is a new addition to our
masthead . It is a quote fro m
Socrates. It reads , "The Gadfl y
shall find out who is wise , and
who pretends to be wise. "
There was a time at
Bloomsburg when The Voice did
not cover the issues. It was a factory that spewed out what was
given to it and did not ask a trul y
relevant question.
It was at this time that a group
of students got together and
started a newspaper to present
what was going on and to question the actions ofthe administration , government , and student
organizations.

This paper was called The
Gadfl y and the quote mentioned
above was regularly printed in it.
This quote is our answer to the
lack of response on the part of
this university community to the
questions we have been raising .
There was an article in The
Voice this semester questioning
the leg itimacy o f a li ghting purchase for Mitrani Hall. The administration never challenged the
validity of nor commented on the
article.
This was a definite change
from the previous semester, when
a mistake was made in an article
about the honorary degree program at BU. It was not onl y
demanded that a correction be
published in the paper , but the
staff continued to hear about this
particular incident for an extended period of time.
On Nov. 13, we printed a story
involving a volunteer member of
Marc Holtzman 's campaign staff
being accused by two other
volunteers of destroy ing voter
registration forms. The Voice , to
this day , still has 37 completed
voter registration forms in its
possession. No action has been
taken by any official office in the
town or on-campus as far as
securing these forms.
In this past Thursday 's issue ,
The Voice accused a disci plinary
policy on-campus of violating the
Fifth and Sixth Amendment

ri ghts of students involved in a
disciplinary situation that occurs
often. Also cited were violations
of the contractual agreement between the students and the
administration.
We shall inform our readershi p
as to what is said and what isn 't
on this issue by both the administration and the student
government.
There is no way a lack of
responses will be tolerated .
Silence will be answered with
more questions.

Institutional racism issue

Charge not backed with examples

Editor:
In response to Kenneth M.
Roberts , I cannot have pity for a
person filled with self-pity . Mr.
Roberts did an impressive job of
describing institutional racism but
did not back up his charge with
examples.
Instead , he covered himself
with the excuse that examp les
cannot be found »due to poor
"retention rates. " A clever
avoidance , reminiscent of a
politician.

Debt tendencies a danaer
by George Will

Editorial Columnist

The political rhetoric praising
small government is "a kind of
civic reli g ion, avowed but not
constraining ." Sen. Daniel P.
(Pat) Moynihan uses those words
to describe FDR 's 1932 pledge to
balance thc bud get. However , the
descri ption also fits conservatism
as it confronts America ' s fundamental choice: How much
economic growth do wc want ,
and how much government?
Since the New Deal , conservatives have argued that national
policy has undul y sacrificed
economic growth to thc growth
ot government. Moynihan (DN.Y.) argues in a recent lecture
that since 198 1 conservatism has
"acted in a manner that intensified the trends it most
deplored. " Moynihan says that
the paradox of conservatism in
power is this: "In effect , bi g
government was made cheap. "
The growth of America 's GNP
was 4 percent in the 1950s and
1960s. It dropped below 3 percent in the 1970s and has been
bare ly above 2 percent in the
1980s. Since I 960, the overall increase in U.S. manufacturing
productivity of 2.7 percent a year

has been less than that of nine

European countries (e.g. France
5.5; Britain 3.6) and about onethird that of Japan (8.0).
Now , what has happened to
government recentl y ? Between
fiscal 1980 and fiscal 1986 ,
federal outlays rose from $590.9
billion to $979.9 billion. The
federal debt has soared from
$914.3 billion to more than $2
trillion . In Moynihan 's words , we
borrowed $1 trillion from the
Japanese and had a party—a party ' of consumption , including a
flood of forei gn goods.

Ronald Reagan s first presidential act , executed on Inauguration
Day . was a federal-employee hiring freeze. Hc said it "will eventuall y lead to a significant reduction in the size of the federal work
force. " Well. At thc beginning bl
fiscal 198 1 , federal emp loyment ,
c i v i l i a n and m i l i t a r y , was
4 , 966,000. At thc beg inning of
fiscal 1986. it was 5,210 ,000 ,
with most ofthe increase civilian.
Wh y does government grow?
In August , 1986, Reagan at the
Illinois State Fair boasted—yes.
boasted: "No area ofthe bud get ,
including defense , has grown as
fast as our support
of
agriculture. " He added that ,
"This year alone , we 'll spend
more on farm support programs...than the tota l amount thc
last administration provided in all
its four years. " The farmers interrupted his 11-minute speech
with app lause 15 times.
As Moynihan says , growth ol
government is a natural , inevitable product of the political
bargaining process among interest groups that favor government outlays that benefit them.
This process occurs under all administrations. What is different
today-so different in degree that
it is different in kind—is the
radical discontinuity between
conservative rhetoric and results.
"Once throug h the $100 billion
deficit barrier , " Moynihan says ,
"then the $200 billion barrier;
once throug h the $1 trillion debt
barrier , then the $2 trillion
barrier—the politicians were free
to soar: After all , no serious harm
had come of it. " This is what
Moynihan means when he says
"bi g government was made
cheap. " Because ofthe numbing
deficits , the money did not seem
to matter much.
There are many facets of the

Knowled ge, says Moynihan. is a
form of cap ital , and much o( it is
formed because of govqrnment
investment in public education;
Our knowled ge-based society is
based on a bi g-government
provision.
Also , k n o w l e d ge begets
government. An "information
rich" society by its own dynamic
learns about matters that make
government goods and services
cither economicall y rational , as in
government support for scientific
agriculture , or morall y mandatory , as in medicine.
Not long ago , most American
workers were farmers. Today
about three percent are . and they
feed all of us and many more
around the world. The most important cause of this revolution
was knowled ge that has . in turn ,
driven government in the direction of activism. Anti-poverty
programs became a moral choice
onl y after we learned how to
measure poverty .
Time was , Moynihan notes,
when the biggest hospital expense
was clean linen. Now we have
knowled ge of kidney dial ysis, and
numerous other technolog ies. We
can choose to keep people alive ,
and so we do , and it costs money.
As society 's wealth has increased , so have demands on
government. There are limited
amounts of clean air and water.
But a "people of plenty " accept
fewer limits than a society of
scarcity. They make the collective purchase of environmental
improvements .
These are tendencies of
societies such as ours. Tendencies
arc not inevitabilities. But ,
Moynihan warns , a society that
refuses to recognize its tendencies
intensifies them.

Must our generation continue to

Tremendous progress has been
made in the past two decades

As I read your article , I was

because of thc color of his skin?
And your comment about the

"overworked by thc countless

arc black or because their job or

If your accusations are true. I
find it hard to believe that such
educated people would profess
their views throug h a student and
in a college newspaper. There are
laws against such treatment and
conditions.

Also you point to the retention
of black students. I wonder what
the retention ratio is between
blacks and whites and between
blacks and the other minorities at
Bloomsburg University .
Shouldn 't the school try to retain all the students with equal
emp hasis , regardless of the color of skin?
I remember trjrec years ago I
app lied to BU for admissions (I
am also part o f a minority at BU ,
a non-traditio nal student) , but I
was rejected. I reapp lied two
years later after attending a Penn

because of my white skin , I was

The Iran-Arms Crisis

Soviet reaction contradictory
by Dimitri K. Simes
L.A. Times Washington Post-Service

Moscow 's America-watchers
are busy try ing to understand the
political crisis in Washington
over thc U.S secret dealings with
Iran. The preliminary Soviet
reaction is contradictory . It is a
mixture of contempt , deli ght and
concern.
Soviet dimp lomats talk about
the imcompctcncc and hypocrisy
of President Reagan ' s close
associates. The Soviet media
ridicule American "double talk"
in taking a toug h stand against international terrorism.
And Soviet insiders observe
dail y that the United States seems
to have a strong self-destructive
instinct.
All the Politburo has to do is
to wait until the U.S. political
process goes throug h another
round of periodic convulsions.
That is not entirely unwelcome
news to Mikhail S. Gorbachev
and his colleagues. There is no
love lost among thc Soviet leadershi p for the Reagan team.
And Soviet di plomacy is moving quickl y to exp loit the U.S.
moment of vulnerability.
The Soviets remind the Arabs
about the dangers of reliance on
America. Soviet media commentaries charge the United States
with a design to prolong the war
between Iran and Iraq for the
benefit of Israel.
The scandal is used to point out
to fhe Western Europeans that the
United States is inherentl y
untrustworthy.
If the Reagan administration
misled the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization allies regarding the
arms sale to Iran , the Soviets ask
rhetoricall y, how can it be trusted
on other matters such as arms
control?
Moscow would be pleased if
the disclosure of the Iranian
deal' s contra connection would
result in the congressional ban of
further aiding of the antiSandinista forces.
More generall y, the Soviets
hope that the prolonged controversy will undermine the U.S.
president 's ability to conduct an
assertive policy , in the Third

World and to proceed with a
vi gorous defense effort. Cutting
Ronald Reagan down to size is
one of Gorbachev ' s priorities.
Yet Soviet deli g ht is mixed
with susp icion and even fear.
With their talent for seeing enemy
intri gues everywhere , some
Soviet observers wonder whether
Reagan ' s troubles may reflect a
plot by U. .S. hard-liners who are
unhappy that thc president was
too forthcoming on arms control
in Rey kjavik.
During Watergate , even more
perceptive Soviet anal ysts felt that
Richard M. Nixon was victimized for his policy of detente.
Even in Reykjavik Gorbachev
suggested that Reagan was
prepared to cut a deal but "did
not get support " from other
members ofthe U.S. delegation.
Later, back in Moscow , the
general secretary in two televised speeches attempted to portray
a well-meaning - even if confused - U.S. president as a de facto
prisoner of the A m e r i c a n
"military-industrial comp lex. "
Not every body in thc Soviet
cap ital would buy such a
simplistic interpretation , but few
would dismiss it out of hand .
Also , as Georg i Arbatov , Gorbachev 's advisor on the United
States , has argued , a weakened
U.S. administration is not quite
a blessing for the Kremlin.
The Soviets perceive thc
United States as both an adversary and a partner. They are
pleased when America fails to
compete effectivel y.
Still , they want the U.S ;
government to have enoug h
authority to cut an arms agreement. A stalemate in Washington
between the administration and
Congress presents problems for
Moscow.
Another factor balancing the
Soviet satisfaction over Reagan 's
predicament is a fear that thc
president may try another
Grenada in order to improve his
domestic fortunes. Soviet
strateg ists do not see any suitable
targets for risk-free U.S. milita ry
operations.
But they are nervous that
something may unexpectedl y
come out of nowhere - another

Syrian-connected terrorist act , for
instance - too tempting for even
Reagan to avoid a military
response.
A direct collision with America
is hard ly on Gorbachev 's agenda. There is little likelihood that
the Soviets would stage an artificial confrontation just to test
the
wounded
Reagan
administration.
A more realistic prospect is that
thc Soviet leadershi p will decide
to treat Reagan as a lame duck
and postpone any serious negotiations until hc leaves office. Up to
now, Moscow has held a grud ging admiration for the president 's
political skills.
So impressed were the Soviets
with Reagan 's winning hand that
their
media
unanimousl y
predicte d continuing Republican
control over the Senate.
The Democratic party victory
came as a surprise to Moscow ,
causing an immediate reassessment of how to deal with
Washington.
East European dip lomats claim
that thc first si gn of their assessment was Soviet Foreign Minister
Eduard A. Shcvardnaze 's failure,
contrary to both tradition and
Gorbachev 's effort to consult
allies , to share with Warsaw Pact
associates an advanced text of his
speech at the European security
conference in Vienna on Nov. 5.
According to these sources , the
initial draft prepared before the
elections was more accomadating
toward the United States and had
lo be toug hened when the outcome became known.
The Iran-contra scandal has
contributed to the Soviet impression o f a cri pp led administration.
But thc Soviets are not sure yet
how serious the injury and how
long it will last.
The Politbur o will not offer
Reagan a hel ping hand by entering arms accords that may restore
his political momentum.
That leaves the U.S. -Soviet
relationshi p not exactl y in mortal danger , but definetely on ice.

From the Hea$i Center

Flu not i|sually dangerous

by Shay Butasek
for thc Voice

***

This is the time of year thitf
many of the following complaitts
can be heard at the BU Heath
Center: "My throat is kiling
me. " "I' m losing my voice!""I
have a fever! " "I ache all o*er!"
"M y head hurts and I' m
coughing. "- "My throaV kills
when I swallow and '. .¦' have
swollen glands. " "I' v? been
coug hing like crazy !"
What is this dread di'ease that
has stricken so man/ of our
students? No , it 's not "plague "
or the Bloomsburg University
bug, but it 's our od friendl y
enemy, the flu , or iifluenza.
I call the flu a friendly enemy
becau se , althougli hard to
believe , when cai ght in its
"gri ppe " (pun intended), flu is
no more dangerou; than the common cold , if you a*e in normall y
good health.
The symptomsmay last up to
10 days. It 's c.sily spread by
"drop let " infecton and often by
our hands.
Antibiotics wll have no effect
on the flu or tie common cold.

They should be reserved for more
serious bacterial infections.
What can you do?
1. First and foremost , if you are
in a hi gh risk group, see your
doctor about getting a flu shot.
2. Rest and stay warm. If you 're
running a fever of 101 or greater ,
take Ty lenol and increase fluids.
Do not put on extra clothing for
warmth. This will onl y increase
your fever.
3. Treat yourself symptomaticall y
for comfort . The s i m p le
decongestants and cough syrup
found in a self care unit can provide some relief but will not cure
you.
4. Increase your intake of li quidslots of juice , etc.
5. If your throat is sore , you can
garg le with some warm salt water
(one-half teaspoon per glass).
6. Increase the humidity in your
room. A humidifier would be
great but even a pan of water on
the radiator provides some
moisture . Another method is to
stand in a hot shower for 10- 15i
minutes (not too hot).
If your symptoms become
severe , such as a temperature
over 101 , prolonged ep isodes of

coug hing with breathing difficulty
or car pain , come to thc Health
Center to evaluate thc need for
fu rther treatment.

Heavy metal f oundations

Black Sabbath revisited, reburied

Ken Kirsch

It ' s been 20 years since Ozzy
Iommi.
Osbourne.
Tony
"Geezer " Butler , and Bill Ward
first formulated one of the most
controversial and mystical band s
of all time.Black Sabbath.
Since then , nothing ' s becn the
same in rock and roll...
Accused of being a dev ilworshi pp ing group of degenerates
with nothing to give to society .
Black Sabbath have met with opposition from nearl y every
reli gious group.(themselves more
witchhunting hypocrites than caring christians)parents groups, and
nei g hborhood crime groups in tlie
US and abroad.
Attempting to set the record
strai ght once and for all about the
band ' s criticism and thc opposition to his and other Sabbath
members solo careers. Ozzv
Osbourne spoke recentl y with a
national radio network about just
what made Black Sabbath tick.
When asked about the occult satanic interests of the band.
Osbourne rep lied. "The onl y
thing we were interested in really was horror movies: we liked
them a lot . Thc main idea behind
Black Sabbath was to put a horror movie on a record . It was an
ori g inal idea at the time. "
True to form. Sabbath released a horde of cryptic albums:
among them Paranoic!. Ne ver Say
Die , Master of Reality, and Sabbath , Blood y Sabbath.
Much of their music relied on
the listeners willingness to leave
reality behind and enter into their
apocal yptic world of demons,
paranoia , and drug-induced delusions. Princi p le l yricist Tony
"Geezer " Butler wrote about

social injustice in a roundabout ,
yet painfully honest way . Again ,
thoug h, due to the cryptic nature
of the band he was never taken
seriousl y. "Children of the
Grave " is a classic example:
"Must the world live in the
shado w of atomic fear/Can they
win the f ight for peace or will they
disappear?/... Tell the world that
love is still alive , you must be
brave/or you children of today
are children of the grave.
It is the damned ignorance and
stereotyp ing of our society which
does this.
Though Black Sabbath was not
the first band to ever write a pro test tune , they were, along with
Led Zeppelin and Iron Butterfl y ,
the founders of heavy metal .
The blud geoned, butchered
sound of Tony Iommi' s guitar
was unmistakeable during the
70' s on tunes like "Paranoid. "
and "N.I.B. " Drummer Bill
Ward' s frantic, uncontrolled style
put him easil y in the same class
with Keith Moon. Throw in
agony-ridden
Osbourne 's
monotone voice and Butler 's dancing bass and you have one
c h a o t i c , yet uni que sound
guaranteed to make one either
turn the volume up to "10" or
cause premature regurgatation.
But all.good things must come
to an end...
In 1979. following the unsuccessful Never Say Die tour, Ozzy left Black Sabbath to dry up
from a suicidal drug and alcohol
addiction and to aet a srip on his
life . Subsequent bouts with manic
depression and periodical stays at
rehab centers and mental institutions seemed to mark the end of
a sorted career. Ozzy prevailed ,
thoug h , and launched one of the
most successful solo careers in
music history with the release of
The Blizzard of Oz in 1980.
The other three members
decided to carry on the tradition
and hired a succession of singers
to rep lace Osbourne: all of whom
failed to bring Sabbath back to its
ori g inal glory : among them Ronnie Dio (now of Dio. one of the
more successful metal bands of

Squealer's Corner

recent years) and Deep Purple
vocalist Ian Gillan. Though they
put forth a galant effort , it was
clear the legend of Black Sabbath
had died ; as personality conflicts
between Iommi and every singer
since has ended in their earl y exiting.
Ward suffered a similar fate as
Osbourne , bouncing in and out of
rehab centers like a pinball , missing whole albums and tours as a
result. Ward finally had to leave
for good in 1983-. unable to go on
with a revival that was seemingly pointless. He was recentl y
released from the Betty Ford
Rehab Center and is currentl y attempting a solo career of his own.
Butler left not long thereafter
and has recentl y married , seeming to be the onl y surviving
member of the band to have lived throug h the ni ghtmare ofa dying legacy.
Perhaps the most tragic part ot
it all. thoug h , is the ultimate
destruction of Tony Iommi. He
has refused to let the Sabbath image die in his mind. Now working with his sixth vocalist since
1979. Iommi kept the name Black
Sabbath (now known as Black
Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi)
and last year released an album
entitled Seventh Star. The album
has been reviewed as "the death
of Black Sabbath once and for
all" and an incoherent comp ilation of sub-par directionless
tunes, disgracing the tradition of
the original band and marking the
end of Tony Iommi as a competent guitarist.
It is a traged y to see something
that started out with such directness of intentions end in utter
shame and confusion.
' 'Don 't you think I know what
I '¦?* doing /don 't tell me whar I '/**
doing is wrong /You 're the one
who 's really the loser/this is
where I feel belong—cocaine.
And that 's just where they 'll stay ,
six feet under the ground, once
and for all.
Note:Look for a review of The
Boss ' new live set in the first
issue of the Voice next semester.

Taking Christmas on the road

Dave Burian
As another semester draws to
a close, the majority of the student population finds itself back
on the road to home.
The holidays are a time to
spend with famil y and friends,
and eniov the companv of those

that we often grow to miss while
away at school.
We tend to occasionall y forget
and take advantage of their
absence while we ' re away, and
concentrate our efforts on matters
at hand. These, of course, consist of study ing, attending classes,
and any o f a number of other activities that mi ght not necessaril y be considered academic.
But once we ' re back home , the
identities and routines we ' ve
established at school are forgotten , as we take our ri ghtful places
in the roles of sons, daug hters ,
etc.
This holiday. I' m going to visit
my father, who I' ve seen rather
infrequentl y and sporadically durins mv 22 vears.

As a child of divorced parents.
I and millions of others sharing
my situation will have to bear the
hardshi p of try ing to turn feelings
and emotions on and off at will.
I look forward to spending time
with my father and my ' other '
famil y , and partici pate in the
same activities and routines that
they will practice together for the
rest of the year.
But for the rest of my year. I
am. like most students, on my
own.
It is an established fact that the
hardshi ps, trials , and lessons
learned in growing up are invariabl y experienced while we
are alone. Think about taking that

A Child 's Christmas

BTE play turns the clock back
by Jeff Cox

Associate Editor

To remember Christmas as a
child. To feel the antici pation , tlie
wonder, the insp iration , and the
mag ic that a child ' s mind is filled with during the holiday season
brings to mind a time that in some
adult minds is forever lost.
The onl y possible way to ever
recapture the spirit in the way that
onl y a child can conjure during
the Christmas season, you would
need to almost literall y put
yourself back in time to when
Christmas was as onl y Christmas
can be to a child.
In A Child 's Christinas in
Wales , currentl y being performed by the Bloomsburg Theatre
Enslemble. Dy lan Thomas tries
to set thc clock back to his youth ,
a time when Christmas meant not
onl y the g ift-g iving process, but
of famil y , of food, of friends and
of love.
Thomas, portrayed touching l y
by Whit MacLaug hlin. steps back
and takes a look at a particular
Christmas of his youth in Wales
during the 1920s. His thoug hts
are scattered , yet tied together by
a long ingness for what has past
and a touch of futilitv for what is
now.
As he travels throug h his past ,
we see visits from an array of colorful characters that beg in with a
postman bearing a gift for young
Dy lan. David Moreland plays up
the scene well and makes thc
character memorable as he has a
feel for the event, even if we can 't
figure out exactl y wh y a postman
w o u l d make d e l i v e r i e s on
Christmas Day.
Dy lan ' s memories of his

parents on this day are indeed
fond, and Laurie McCants and
Martin Shell p lay thc roles
tenderl y , m a k i n g a perfect
backdrop for the house scenes.
Sharing the joy of thc season
with friends is an integral part of
Christmas, and Thomas eloquently exudes the warmth of children
s h a r i n g the e x c i t e m e n t of
discovery and the innocence o f a
child at Christmas.
Jeffrey Morgan . Rand Whi pple. James Goode and John Arndt
effectivel y transform themselves
from adults into children as they
froliek in the merriment of the
season.
Thomas ' memories of his
friends are rich with the sharing
of Christmas deli g ht between
friends , and the imag inative
aames piaved in the snow.

The relatives ot Thomas are all
used as being representative of
various views of Christmas , including a politicall y radical ,
almost Scroog ish uncle. Gl yn ,
played aptl y by David Moreland.
and a staunch, stuff y , but essentiall y compassionate. Tudyr.
played by Andrew Hubatsek.
Hubatsek adds a nice touch to the
character , avoiding the stereotype
and dealing creativel y with what
can be a very i n t e r e s t i n g
character.
Gretchen Krich . as Bessie, is
a nice sidekick for Tud yr as his
perpetuall y ill wife .
Lynn Balesteri g ives a moving
performance as the beloved Aunt
Elicri. with whom young Dylan
is infatuated. Balesteri is effective
because she knows when to be
low-key and when to assert
herself.
Elizabeth Dowd is comical as

Hannah , and hd penciled , lig ht
moustache is a ieautifu l touch ,
while John Aindt and Ann
Sehulman also work well as
Gwyn and Ne llie
Thomas docs mt leave out thc
annoy ing cousins role from his
r e m c m b c r a n c c s . , and Sall y
Schwager and Lci jh Strimbeck
comp lement* the p i-turc nicel y:
Scwager as the K.ugh-as-nails
Glenda. and Striml 'eck as thc
;
pouting Brcnda.
Thc nearl y two doz .n songs in
thc show move the events along
nicel y , from the cnchaiting "The
Soft Snow Falls All Xround. "
comp lete with a candleig ht procession, to a moving rei dition of
• "Dy lan ' s Song.
sing by
MacLaug lin and accenated by
the dancing of Hubatsek . Whi pple. Krich . Dowd , Gooj e and
Arndt.
The tunes of many traditional
carols are parodied for good,
comic effect, and Thomas Maintains taste throug hout.
At times , the movable set
becomes a distraction , but is
mainl y done as discreetl y as
possible. There were few
technical problems , but it did
seem that a few li ght cues were
late.
Most o f t h e actors play a variety of parts , and the changes are
slick and effective.
Thc BTE show is basically
hi gh-energy all the way as the
ensemble 's Christmas sp irit is
once again shining ly rekindled on
the Alvina Krause Stage, and the
poetry of Thomas ' scri pt is
enthralling.
A Child 's Christmas in Wales
runs throug h Dec . 21 and admission for BU students is free with
a universit y ID.

Giving at Christmas time

Bowties underneath the tree

by Tracey Dcchert
For the Voice

It is snowing lightl y. Christmas
carols can be heard over the
radio. The tree and all the
presents arc out. All the preparations for Christmas are finished ,
because today is the day . M y
whole famil y is at my house: my
uncles , aunts , grand parents , and
cousins. My family is very close ,
my aunts and uncles arc almost
second parents.
Like all other Christmases ,
everything is going well. The
food is great , the kids arc having
fun and everyone is happy . There
is one person missing thoug h-my
uncle Oliver. M y uncle lives only 150 miles from my house ,
which is not that far to travel for
a holiday . Why wasn 't hc with
us? Uncle Oliver is 5'10" , has
brown hair , is very friendl y,
sociable; thc perfect holiday
guest...
Uncle Oliver also has Frag ile
X Syndrome; he's had it since
birth . But this Christmas he will
be with us.
In males with the Frag ile X
Syndrome, a certain gene located
on the X chromosome causes
mental retardation , behavior problems , and certain physical
feature s, such as large ears . My
uncle 's chromosome studies
showed the presence of the
disease in 30 percent of his cells ,
but even the prescence ofa small
-percentage of such cells confirms
the diagnosis. My uncle Oliver 's
diagnosis came after years of
unanswered questions and uncertainty about the cause of his mental retardation. Unfortunately,
there is no known cure for the
Frag ile X Syndrome at this time .
Ever since I can remember my
uncle has been in an institution
located in Elwyn , Pennsylavania.
When asking my father about it ,

I found out that uncle Oliver was
put in the institute at eight years
of age. He was there for 52 years
of his life .
I visited uncle Oliver at this institute many years ago . I
remember that it was nice; it
almost looked like a college campus. There were many pretty
buildings and the grounds were
well-kept. The inside of the
building my uncle stayed in was
like a nursing home . Each patient
had his own room and there was
a nurses ' station in the middle of
the floor. Everything was white ,
plain and bare. I was young then ,
I did not question wh y he was
there.
When I did get to sec my uncle , I enjoyed his company . Hc
was a very gentle man and he
always made me happy . Heremembered who I was when hc
saw me. When he came to visit
with my other aunt and uncle he
alway s had a bowtie on and three
of four more in his pocket. Hc
loved his bowties , and whenever
he came to visit we had a new one
for him.

I loved to see my uncle Oliver ,
but I did so onl y about once a
year. And unfortunatel y the saying to an extent was true—out of
sight , out of mind. Uncle Oliver
was not included in our lives as
much as he should have been.
Our excuse was that he was just
too far away...
After being in the institute until he was 60 years old , I am
grateful to say that my uncle is no
longer there . He lives right in my
city in a house with other mentall y retarded people. The home
is just like a "regular " house; it
does not have all white walls and
sparsely furnished rooms. A
supervisor is there 24 hours a day
for my uncle and the four others.
There are four super-

visors/counselors that take shifts
stay ing at the house. The
"tenants " keep their own rooms
nea t , hel p with the chores , and
some even dress themselves. The
atmosphere there is like that of a
famil y and uncle Oliver loves it.
Since the house is only a mile
away , we see uncle Oliver a lot
more and he is a big part of our
lives. My dad , his brother , takes
him out for dinner , ice cream or
wherever they want to go. On
Easter my sister and I visited and
she was dressed as the Easter
Bunny . The residents were all excited about that.

Every month a member of the
famil y must meet with the head
counselor to discuss my uncles '
progress. My mother usuall y
goes since everyone else works.
At the last meeting they came up
with some new goals for uncle
Oliver.

One of his goals is to be able
to walk around the neighborhood
by himself without bringing harm
to himself. This includes stopping at curbs and crossing thc
street. The counselors hel p him
and if he can do it 10 out of 10
times he reaches his goal.
Another goal is to be able to
p ick out two edibles from two
edibles and two cleaning supp lies.
The counselors are also try ing to
get uncle Oliver to say his 'name.
Just recentl y he said it once , but
hc has not said it again.
This change f o r my uncle has
affected all of my fa mily 's lives,
and definitely f o r the better. I
thank God that he is so close to
us now. One oftlie greatest feel ings f o r me is to hea r my niece
and nep hew , who are six and
four , ask about uncle Oliver.
They want to visit uncle Oliver—
because they have a new bowtie
f o r him. -Me rry Christmas.

Book buy-back not a rip-off
by Karen Reiss
Staff Writer
The end of the semester is
quickly approaching us and that
can only mean one thing. It is
time for the great book buy-back.
You know , that fun time of the
year when you stand in line for
hours with a ton of books in hand ,
and then learn your $30
chemistry book is only worth
$2.50.
As one BU j u n i o r put
it ,"Those people are crazy ! It ' s
un-American to cheat hardworking college students out of
their money ."
That is a pretty heavy statement
to make, and as it turns out , an
untrue one at that. The bookstore
doesn 't cheat anyone out of
anything. In reality , the store
makes minimal profit fro m the
books it buys back and re-sells.
Those profits go right back to the
students indirectl y.
The campus bookstore sells
new books to students at a five
percent discount off list price.
When a student goes to sell that
book back , he is given 55 percent
of the list price , not the discounted price , provided the book
will be used the following
semester.
For example, if a student paid
$16.95 for a biology book , when
he goes to sell it back he will
receive 55 percent , which is
$9.30. The bookstore will resell
that book for $11.85. A $2.55
profit isn 't much when you consider they must pay people to run
the computer terminals, clean and
stack the books, as well as repricing and reshelving them.
Mrs . Lois Krum , who works in
the textbook section of the store ,
explained that the BU bookstore
sells used books back to the
students at a 30 percent discount ,
which is "five percent hi gher
than the national average. "
As for books that will not be
used on the campus the next
semester, that is a different story .
Krum exp lained that these
books are sold to used book companies who will sell them to otlier
bookstores where there may be a
need.
"How much they g ive for a

book really depends on the need
for that particular book and the
copyright date ," she said . She
gave two examples of $17 books :
one would be repurchased by the
company for four dollars , the
other for five dollars.
This semester, Wallace 's Book
Co. will be coming to
Bloomsburg only to help with the
buy-back process , not to conduct
it. This will be the first time since
the bookstore started using terminals to buy back books that the
store will be conducting the
buy-back.
According to William Bailey,
manager of BU' s bookstore , it
will cost the store approximatel y
$130 ,000 to buy back all of the
books.
"It will cost us more to buy
them back ourselves ," he said ,
"but we'd rather have our own
people here than have strangers
Bailey said the store operates
with the students in mind and tries
"to give them every discount
possible. "
One of the services the store
provides is a listing of books
which will be used the next
semester.
Bailey claimed the best time to
sell back a book is prior to the
semester it will be used. For example , if a book is only used in
the fall , the student should wait
until the end of spring semester
to sell it back in order to get more
money for it. This list can thus
allow students to determine the
best time to sell books and when
to hold on to then a bit longer.
An obstacle which can foil any
hopes of getting money back on
a books is a new edition. Bailey
said this year was the first time
in 13 years he has •.seen so many
new editions for books professors
order for their classes.
"There were at least 19 books
with new editions coming out ,"
he claimed.
Dr. Ervene Gulley , associate
professor of English , said a book
which is very popular may come
out with a new edition every few
years , not leaving much choice
about whether or not to change
texts. However , she added that if
the changes are not to her liking,

she will be forced to change texts
again.
New editions allow for more
up-to-date material and therefore ,
in some areas of study , texts may
be changed fairly regularl y.
For example , Gulley , who
teaches a modern novel course ,
tries to use current literature and
needs to use books as recent as
possible.
"If making a choice between
two books of the same content
value , I try to choose less expensive ones ,"Gulley said.
However , price takes second
priority to the quality of the book .
One other change occuring
with the book buy-back this year
is the place. Because the bank
now takes up a great deal of the
bookstore 's lobby, an alternate
place was needed.
Conducting the buy-back in the
union was suggested , however it
was decided against for several
reasons. First, the workers saw
it as a great inconvenience to
them and they wanted to stay in
the store . Second , Bailey said he
thought it was unfair to make
students sell the books in the
union and then come to the
bookstore for their money, which
because of security reasons must
stay in the store.
After putting their heads
together , the workers in the
bookstore came up with a solution. This semester , and if it
works out , probabl y every
semester thereafter , the books
will be sold back in the text area
ofthe store . Students are to enter
through the doors at the end of the
porch on 2nd Street. The line will
snake back and forth through the
empties shelves of the text area.
Bailey said he is very impressed with the solution the workers
developed. "There will be plenty of standing room and no running around for the students ." He
continued , "If the students
weren 't here , we wouldn 't be
either , so we try to offer the best
possible service to them. "
Therefore , it is pretty clear that
the "hard-working college student " is not getting "cheated , "
but is receiving an important service offered by people who really do care.

streamers from thc rafters and
decorating a Christmas tre e with
candy canes.
The festivities began with a
sing along of thc popular

and "Joll y Old Saint Nicholas. "
Thc excitement reall y grew
among the kids when Santa
Clause (alias Tom Horvath . a
B.U. marketing major) arrived on
the scene.
As each child sat on Santa 's lap
to receive their gift , Santa asked
what they wanted for Christmas.
One g irl said , "A boy friend"
w h i l e another answered , "A
million bucks and a tri p lo
Jamaica. " (two answers typ ical
to what I mi ght have given.)

Life will continue to go on
around us , and before we know
it , mortgage payments are due
and babies arrive. We then settle
down into our existence as adults .
So as we drive home to our
respective cities and our respective families for this holiday ,
remember that the time spent
away at school reall y marks the
emergence of adults into the real
world , one that is often harsh and
unforgiving.
During this holiday and New
Year 's celebrations , cherish (as
I will) the time spent with your
family and those closest to you;
but remember that one day , like
my divorced parents , we will all
have to 'go it ' alone.

SAT test , that first college class
(or first semester , for that
matter) .
Our parents can onl y attempt to
prepare us for these fri ghtening
and often embarassing situations.
This process of growing up
almost always involves situations
that we 'learn the hard way ',
because we're too stubborn or too
i gnorant to accept the (usually)
wiser opinions of our parents.
As college students , we
graduall y shed parental restraints ,
and eventually our innocence , by
the cycle known as 'growing up ' .
We become more mature and
' wiser '
with
each
new
experience.

College howl p redictions

Miami over Penn St.
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

With the last issue of the
semester comes a special column
that I've been waiting to write for
a while. This is my college bowl
preview and prediction column ,
appropriately titled because I will
preview and predict the bowl
scores for the 1986 season.
Starting off with some of thc
major New Year 's Day games ,
wc find the Texas A&M Agg ies
hosting the Buckeyes of Ohio
State in the Cotton Bowl , where
the Agg ies will find victory .
The Florida Citrus Bowl makes
its debut on New Years Day with
an Auburn-Southern California
matchup. The Trojans will come
up short as the Ti gers of Auburn
will dominate in the end.
The Sugar Bowl presents a
very interesting matchup in the
LSU Tigers and the Nebraska
Cornhuskers. Watch for the upset
by LSU on a play in the last two
minutes.
In the granddadd y of them all ,
Michigan will meet Arizona State
in the Rose Bowl . Believe it or
not , this will probabl y be one of
the best games in recent Rose
Bowl years , with the Sun Devils
just edging out the Wolverines.
The Orange Bowl in Miami
showcases the Oklahoma Sooners
against the Razorbacks of Arkansas in what should be a complete
rout for OU.
And that should wrap up my
column ,...Wait , I forgot a game
my Co-editor , Mike Mullen , tells
me , the Miami-Penn St. game.
Well , I thoug ht everyone
alread y knew how the game
would turn out. But since he is
such a dumb Irishman , I will go
ahead and spell it out for him.
Miami will not onl y beat Penn
St., the Hurricanes will completely tear apart their defense in a
way Joe Paterno has never seen
before .
My onl y question is , will Vinny Testaverde pass for 400 yard s
or not. He probabl y will. But
since Mr. Mullen (an education

major , no doubt) disagrees , we
have agreed to a small wager ,
bets being illegal in this nong a m b l i n g , Puritan state of
Pennsy lvania.
The details of thc bet , err uh
wager , that 's the word , are that
if Penn St. wins (which will happen onl y when Testaverde
transfers there and gives them a
real quarterback), but still just in
case , I have to print an apology
in his columnn to all Penn St.
fans.
When (nol IF) Miami wins ,
Mike will happ il y print an apol gy
in my column to all Miami fans
for his temporary (or is it permanent?) loss of sanity.
Now for the games and the
scores.

Playoffs needed
Dear Sports Editor:
I thought your editorial on the
college playoff system was totally
out of line.
Many of the points you brought
up were absurd ! How can there
be a basketball and baseball
playoff and not football?
We 've got to find out who is
the best , and it would last the
same time as the other ones and
the same academically. Maybe
the underdog could win too.
I hope they come up with one
and prove bigoted , presumptious ,
"say as you please though your
op inion doesn 't reall y matter "
sports editors like yourself
wrong.

Freshman standout Mark Banks in wrestling action earlier this year in the Bloomsburg tournament.

Frosh wrestlers must set goals
by Mary Ellen Spisak
Staff Writer

"Setting goals is very important because it g ives you
something to strive for. You set
your long term and short term
goals and take them in steps , "
responded freshman wrestler Bob
LaFranco.
"Coach Sanders influences you
to become a very hard worker , "
said the New Jersey state champion , "there is no slacking off. "
Paul Key saw , the top recruit
from Athens said , "The coach
emphasizes winning and becoming the best you can be. In college , everybody is good, noone
is average and so setting your
goals is very impoprtant if you
want to be something. "
"Coach Sanders projects a
positive attitude towards the
team , because the difference fro m
hi gh school is tougher competi-

tion and there is a change in the
sty le of wrestling, " commented
Pennsy lvania state champion
John Fedilibus.

"The most important thing in
wrestling is setting goals. It is
what keeps you working hard so
you know what you have to
achieve ," he continued.
It is obvious that the biggest influence hat posed a factor in these
mat-men wass , and still is , the
coaches.
"When the coaches recruited
me , they showed they really
cared about me as a person ,
academically as well as athletically, " said Virg inia 's state champion Scott Brown.
"Coach Sanders is reall y involved , he gets ri ght on the mat
to influence you , " said Athens
hi gh school champ ion Dave Kennedy. "He influences your habits
where your grades come first. "
In their quest for excellence ,

these grapp lers hope to achieve
as the Bonomo duo has.
"Rick and Rock are a big influence and they are the main
reason I came to BU ," said
LaFranco. "You wrestle with
them everyday and when you ' re
around that kind of talent , you get
that much better. They 're reall y .
caring and will help you out. "
"Li ghter guys (in wei ght
classes) look up to them and fo
to them for hel p, " said Kennedy.
Althoug h the coaches and the
Bonomo brothers are among the
bi ggest imfluences , there is no
doubt the Husk y grapp lers work
as a team.
Their individual achievements
are an inspiration to the most important factor in wrestling-goal
setting.
The new recruits must start
again on their venture for success
in what should prove to be an exciting season.

Women dominate Millersville , BU men fall
Ladies dump Marauders
by Mike Mullen

Sports Editor

The Bloomsburg University
women 's basketball team travelled to Millersville Saturday and
earned a hard fought victory
69-56.
Sophomore Theresa Lorenzi
led all scorers with 24 points
(11-19 , 58 percent), in a balanced BU offense that saw three girls
in double fi gures.
Senior co-captains Linda King
and Sue Kocher scored 12 and 11
points respectivel y, while Carla
Shearer chi pped in 9.
The game was toug h from the
beg inning a.s both teams began to
press full-court immediately. The
lead changed hands several times
until an Amy Wolf lay-up (she
finished with 6) gave BU a 15-11
lead with 13:20 to go in the half.
Millersville quickl y rallied and ,
after several Husky miscues, held
a 21-19 advantage . BU had trouble breaking MU ' s 1-2-1-1 press ,
which fo rced many bad shots.
The Huskies slowl y fought
back, rebounding strong after
M a r a u d e r misses. A King
16-footer pulled them within one ,
29-28 , with 2:54 remaining.
The Marauders surged ahead
once more before another King
jumper with : 10 seconds left cut
thc margin to 35-3 1 at thc
intermission.
The second half opened up with
MU streaking to a 39-33 lead
before Bloomsburg reeled off 6
strai ght , the last 2 coming on a
Carol Spadora (she finished with

7) drive throug h the lane to give
thc Huskies their first lead ofthe
half , 41-39.
Millersville did not falter as
they came ri ght back at the
Huskies and took the lead back
46-43 with some hel p from BU
fouls.
BU came ri ght back with a
Spadora 15-footer and a Lorenzi
turn-around jumper to regain the
lead 47-46 with 9:00 left in the
game.
Two more Lorenzi jumpers
staked BU to a 51-46 lead bul
MU charged ri ght back into it ,
51-50.
King took over for the Huskies
hitting two 15-foot jumpers , one
fro m the left side and one from
the right to widen the marg in to
55-50.
Three strai ght points by
Shearer opened up an eight point
lead for the Huskies , 58-50.
The Marauders refused to
crumble as they rattled off four
points to come within four ,
58-54 , with 1:30 to go in the
game.
MU began to foul the Huskies
but Bloomsburg was able to convert a majority ofthe free throws
to put the game away , finall y icing it with a Kocher lay-up at thc
buzzer, 69-56.
Husky head coach Joe Bressi
was happy with his team ' s play.
"We took an early lead and were
able to set the pace until
halftime ,"he said afte r the game.
"Some loose officiating by the
officials kept us out of our offense , but overall I was happy

with the way we performed while
Theresa (Lorenzi) was on thc
bench with three fouls ," he
continued.
"Pam Bressi did one heck of
a job while she was in for Theresa
in the first half , we didn 't need
to got to her in thc second hall
because Theresa stayed out of
trouble , " hc added. .
"It 's a big win on the road , it 's
toug h to beat anybody on their
own court ,"he concluded ,"we
just can 't let up now , we 're 2-0
in the league. We just can 't let
up. "
Lorenzi 11-19 2-4 24, Bressi 0-1
0-0 0, Wolf 2-5 2-2 6, King 4-10
4-5 12, Shearer 4-9 1-4 9,
Kocher 3-9 5-6 11 , Spadora 2-4
3-4 7, Snow 0-0 0-0 0, Steele 0-0
0-0 0.

HOOP SCOOPS: A l t h o u g h
Millersville out-rebounded the
Huskies 56-37 it reall y didn 't
matter , because thc Marauders
shot a horrendous 30 percent
(24-7.9) from thc field , 21 percent
(8-37) in the always crucial second half.
BU on thc other hand shot 50
percent for thc game (26-52), 52
percent (15-29) in that same second half.
Amy Wolf once again led thc
team in rebounds (10) and blocked shots (6) before she fouled out
with three minutes left in thc
game.
Carla Shearer led thc team with
2 steals while handing out 2

Kocher ended the game with 11 points , including a lay-up at the final buzzer. (Voice photo by Mike Mullen)

assists. Linda King and Theresa
Lorenzi also dished out two
assists a piece.
Both teams committed 21 personal fouls which is rather hi gh.
Each team had a player foul out.
with Bloomsburg having two
more with four and Millersville
having three more with four
personals.

Millcrsvillc ' s shooting woes
continued into their free throws
as- well, they shot 8-17 in the
game (47 percent), w h i l e
Bloomsburg posted a 17-25 performance (68 percent).
With her 24 points against the
Millersville Marauders on Saturday ni ght , Theresa Lorenzi now
has 117 (29.3 ppg) points in the

first four games of the season.
By the way , those 24 points ,
what would be a career hi gh for
some people , actuall y hurt her
average . She previousl y had a 31
point ave.
The Huskies , who movc to 3-1
overall. 2-0 in the league , now
prepare to face Kings college
Monday ni ght at Kings.

some hi gh-fl y ing , above the rim
p lay to down the v i s i t i n g
Bloomsburg Huskies 79-67.
Bill Connell y led the team with
22 points while freshman John
Williams garnered 17.

12:35 mark of the first half a
Dallas Wilson lay-up pulled the
Huskies to within one , 15-14.
Six strai ght points by the
Marauders gave them a 21-14 advantage. Connolley hit the threepointer to close to 21 -17 , but two

MU tree throws and a Connolley
lay-up later saw a close game at
23-20, with 6:25 remaining in the
half.
This would be the last time that
Bloomsburg was in striking
distance for the ni ght. It was at
this point that Millersville would
start what would eventually
become an eleven minute , 32-7
run on the Huskies.
The final six and a half minutes
of the first half saw a 22-7 run
that featured some alley-oop
slams and some impressive .threepoint shots that staked MU to a

From the locker room

Always Penn St proud
by Mike Mullen

Sports Editor

And the winner is...who did
you expect? The Heisman Trophy
went to Mr. Testaverde of
Miami. Really now , did anyone
else deserve it?
That , however is not what this
is about. No , you see this
weekend we begin what I consider one of the greatest aspects
of college football , the Bowl
games.
It is now the time when seniors
get to don the pads one last time
and go out and finish their football careers with a win.
Regular season record s are
thrown out the window. These
games are played with pride.
Althoug h many a r m c h a i r
quarterbacks watch the bowl
games with the antici pation ofthe
crowning ofa national champion ,
students ofthe game, like myself ,
know that no such animal exists .
We watch these games for the
emotion expressed by the young
men that love the game so dearl y

and paid their dues for four years
to stand where they are right
now.
For the benefit of those who
still think that there is something
riding on the result of that
January 2 game in Tempe ,
Arizona , I'll donate my learned
opinion.
Usuall y I leave the picking of
winners to my esteemed colleague and Co-editor Dave

'If God isn 't a Penn St. fan ,
then why is the sky blue and
white?'
Sauter , but I think that Mr . Sauter
has made a grave error.
He seems to have this unexplainable notion that Penn St. is
going to lose to Miami on January
2. Perhaps this results from the
effects of numerous toxic waste
sites located in his home state of
New Jersey .
Even an Education major could
fi gure out that Penn St. will not

lose two bowl games in a row.
With Joe Paterno at the helm , you
have one of the most successfull
bowl coaches in history .
Dave and I discussed this
among ourselves for quite some
time , the result of which is this ,
should Penn St. win he will print
a formal apology in his column ,
apologizing to all Penn St. fans
everywhere .
In the unlikel y event that
Miami should pull out a victory ,
I, being the gentleman I am , have
agreed to do the same to Miami
fans (and all you Penn St.
haters!).
There appears in this issue a
letter to the editor regarding an
earlier column. I hadn 't expected
this , but I would like to encourage
any dissenting (or consenting)
op inions to be voiced.
As long as the letters adhere to
the Voice editorial policy they
will be printed .
One final note; If God isn 't a
Penn St. fan , then why is the sky
blue and white? Merry Christmas
sports fans.

This past Saturday found the
Huskies of Bloomsburg University on the road to partici pate in
