The Gamma Epsilon Omicron
fraternity has appeared as the
newest addition to Greek life on
the campus of Bloomsburg
University.
The fraternity , founded in
February of 1986 by the members
of the third floor East wing of
Luzerne
residence
hall ,
ori ginated due to the close feeling of camaraderie by the men in
the hall , according to its
members.
The fraternity completed the
obli gatory probationary period
established by the Inter-Fraternity
Council from April , 1986 until
December of the same year.
During probation , the IFC rccquircd them to do four service
projects . Their projects included
giving tours on visitation day s,
hel ping with Special Olymp ics ,
cleaning leaves on campus and
visiting Danville Mental Hospital
twice.
James Perrota , president ofthe
fraternity , said , "I have the upmost confidence in my brothers .
Wc feel a sense of oneness. We
have put our best into it and now
wc arc being rewarded. "
"Wc didn 't encounter many
problems , " Perrota added.
"Dean Norton , Dr. John Trathen
and the IFC were very supportive. Other Greek organizations
did not hurt us. On the contrary ,
they gave us hel pful advice such
as how to create our own con stitution or run a mixer. "
The fraternity currentl y has 22
members and is under the advisement of Dr. Tom Bonomo of the
sociology department.
"Life is so much better when
you are surrounded by people that
you like and who like you , " Perrota said. "That is the objective
of Gamma Epsilon Omicron. It
will create a meeting ground another alternative for the people
who arc interested in the Greek
system in Bloomsburg Univcrsity * "
Perrota added that the fraternity
is in the process of obtaining a
house and plans are being made
for a banquet and more mixers
for this semester. He also said
that their constitution is being
reformatted to include a little
sister group and an umbrella pro vision that will allow for the formation of chapters on other
campuses.
"We are expecting to be a
nation-wide organization , not by
join ing other nationals , but by
creating our own ," Perotta said.
"I know it will take time. You
have to learn to walk before you
can run. "

Mclntyre 's attorney, Mark H.
Lemon , said he received a copy
of the letter from the StudentFaculty Judicial Board stating that
the sanctions were appropriate to
the charge and no new evidence
was presented to warrant an appeals hearing.
"All the avenues (on-campus)
have been exhausted , " Pcrccy
said , adding that Mclntyre 's
choice to seek the restraint fro m
the federal court i.s the only route
left.
Pcrccy also brought to the at
tention of _ 7._- Voice another case
which occurred in 1970 in which
a federal restraint was sought and
granted.

Weekend march in protest
against legalized abortion
by Imtiaz Ah Taj
Staff Writer

The "Walk for Life", organized by the Tri-County Chapter of
the Pennsy lvanians for Human
Life , was held in Bloomsburg on
Saturday .
The purpose ofthe walk was to
protest against the 1973 Supreme
Court decision which legalized
abortion.
Speeches were given at the
town park by State Representive
Ted Stubin , Rev. Scott Temple ,
Pastor Mark Stoker , and Denise
Near , director of the National
Ri ght to Life Committee.
The walk started from the park
and finished at the Columbia
County Courthouse in downtown
Bloomsburg. The protesters
stayed on the sidewalks and did
not interfere with traffic.
A large number of local
residents and university students
were present at the protest.

Near , who is also a federal
leg islative coordinator for the
Pcnnsy lvanis Pro-Life Fedcra
tion , said , "We are here and we
arc being heard . Most important
ly, we will not go away . We arc
going to persist in this battle until victory is won , until this nation recognizes and restores the
very basic , life-protecting pnn
ci ples upon which it was found
ed. "
Near admitted some progress
has been made yet still there is no
amendment to the constitution
protecting all life , nor has the
Supreme Court reversed it 's decision. She said , however , with the
retirement of one more Supreme
Court justice , the critical reversal could happen in the near
future .
Many people look at the enormity of the abortion issue and
they feel overwhelmed.
"I can 't tell you how many
times I have heard oeoDle sav

'But I am only one person. What
can I possibl y do to make a difference?' " The answer , Near
suggested , is that the abortion
issue will be solved , victory will
be won piece by p iece , by individual people , one by one , say ing yes to life .
Near went on to say laws must
be passed not only in the area of
abortion but in the increasing ly
serious areas of infanticide and
euthanasia
^
"The devaluation
of human life
in the womb has quickly led us
down the sli ppery slope to the
point where other lives-handicapped newborns, the comatose , the terminally ill and the
elderly are now greatly endangered ," she said .
"It is not just the laws that need
changing. In fact , the laws are the
least of our problem ," Near said.
"Our most important task is
education. We have the truth on

WASHINGTON- Top federal
health officials , who have advocated comprehensive AIDS sex
education as a crucial weapon for
curbing the deadl y epidemic , arc
facing a serious challenge from
officials in the Department of
Education who oopposc their pro posals as "clinicall y correct but
morally empty ," the Los Angeles
Times has learned.
Thadispufc has become so con
tcntious that it has reached the
White House 's Domestic Policy
Council , whose members will
ultimatel y determine the ad
ministration 's policy on AIDS sex
education , sources in both depart
ments said.
"Is the Reagan administration
willing to go down in history as
the administration that curtailed
life saving information? " one
Public Health Service official
asked. "We 've got to come out
and say we 're going to protect the
children of this country .
But a Department of Education
source said that any form of
AIDS sex education promoted by
the federal government "cannot
be value-free or value-neutral in
its approach because most
Americans do not expect their 13
or 14-year-olds to be engag ing in
sexual relations. "
Further , he said , "wc do not
believe such course material
should be neutral between
homosexual and heterosexual
sex. Most Americans believe that
sexuality is most appropriately
expressed in a heterosexual context " and that homosexual activity "is, in fact , deviant behavior. "
In his report to the public on
AIDS released last fall , which
was presumed to represent the administration 's positions , Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop called
for sex education starting "at the
lowest grade possible. "
Koop , noting that he too is concerned about the morals of
youths , has said repeatedl y that
he would oppose any sex education program that "taught technique without responsibility or
morality ."
Later , the Public Health Service followed with an outline of
an AIDS education plan for all
segments ofthe American public ,
including young people.
"Pre-teens and teens need the
same information as the public in
general , but the information
presented should be appropriate
for their age," it said. "Youth
who are at an age whea sexual
and intravenous drug experimentation may begin are the next
generation at risk ."

ConMtutjonal rights

To violate is universital
The inevitable has happened . A
student is taking Bloomsburg
University to court for violating
his constitution al ri ghts.
Al the close of the fall
semester , Matthew P. Mclntyre
and Robert Partlow were
suspended. The on-campus
judicial hearing and sentencing of
these students took place prior to
thc close of proceedings involving District Justice Donna
Coombe.

Editor 's note

Including thc last two issues of
the fall semester and the first two
issues of this semester , a total of
four letters and a column have
concerned themselves with the
issue of racism and prejudice at
BU.
Althoug h I more than unders tand the seriousness and sensitivity of the issue, both sides have
spoken and it i.s time to move on.
Unless someone has something
trul y profound to say, I will probabl y not run further comments
on thc subject.
S h o u l d a n y o n e wish to
challenge or discuss this decision
with me. my office door is always
open.
Don Chomiak

In the Dec . 4 issue of The
Voice , an editorial described exactl y how the disci p linary procedures on this campus violate the
constitutional ri g hts of students
who get in trouble downtown and
are "tried " on campus before thc
conclusion of proceedings in thc
courts of the "real world. "
On Wednesday, a federal court
will decide whether or not to
reinstate Mclntyrc , who is
fi g hting to get back into school .
Again it seems as thoug h thc
administration of this university
is disregarding the ri ghts of
citizens who decided to attend this
institution. Simply because an individual takes on the role of student docs not mean thc individual
loses ri g hts guarcnteed by thc
Constitution.
Many are under the misconception that a student si gns away
ri g hts while attending BU. This
could not be further from the
truth. This is what the administration wishes the student population
to believe. It is easier to control
sheep than people.
The machinery of this university 's administration is anti quated
beyond not onl y fairness , but
legality as well.
In 1970. another student decid-

ed to fight when he was suspended. Not only did he win and continue his education , but he
pointed out to the students , faculty , and administration that thc
Constitution does not stop at thc
steps of Carver Hall.
An interesting point to note i.s
that not onl y has thc law not
changed , but the same jud ge that
decided thc case in 1970 is
deciding this one.
Beyond the c o n s t i t u t i o n a l
aspect , what gives thc administration thc ri ght to dup licate the actions of the local authorities ,
which it appears to be doing?
It states in the Pi lot
that " ...university authority shall
never be used merely to duplica te
thc function of general laws. Onl y
where the university 's interests
arc distinct and clearly involved
shall the special authority of thc
university be asserted. "
I challenge thc administration
to show how thc university 's interests arc distinct and "clearl y
involved ," I am not even going
to mention the constitutional
rig hts issue, yet. I also challenge
the CGA to do something. If the
CGA does act on thc behalf of
students , act now. CGA has been
silent for too Ion " .

Wo rds on prejudice

Hate is something learned
by David L. Ferris
(iucsl Cr

Well , I' m rather perturbed by
the whole thing. I found out that
my parents made a huge omission
in my education: they neg lected
to teach mc (hat people arc sup
posed to hate anyone with a different skin color or ethnic
back ground .
I was never taug ht that other
races are inferior. I had always
assumed , since I saw no dif
fe rence in my friends from
v a r i o u s back g r o u n d s , that
everyone was pretty much the
same.
I was also cursed in that we
traveled around Europe and
America , so that I was exposed
lo people of many cultures and
lifesty les. Little did I know that
these influences were seriousl y
impairing my outlook on life .
I grew up knowing nothing of
racism. It was many years before
I learned that hating others was
the correct way to do thin gs , and
it took me many more years to
learn all the proper phrases and
concepts of racism.
In the military , I was assi gned
to units with hi gh mixtures of
"minorities ". I worked for
blacks and had blacks working
for me. and for several months I
was the onl y white out of a shift
of ei ght peop le. The effects on
my personality were predictabl y
disastrous. I began to say "yo "

Proofreading

Editor:
We were just finishing our
choruses of "Ri ght on! Baby !"
after reading the editorial in the
Jan. 12 issue of The Voice when
much to our wondering eyes did
appear the misprint in the article
by staff writer Ms. Willis.
From our perspective, this booboo completely negates the left
side of the page. In the future ,
prospective writers should proofread before pronouncing!
The Midni ght Professor
Editor 's note:
You have the proper perspe ctive, but erroneously suspect the

f irst p lace.

a lot and came to appreciate
Aretha Franklin records.
Wc seemed to work well
together. There was tension , but
that was mostl y because we were
play ing darts when wc wove sup
posed to be on mobility alert ,
rather than anything caused by
racial differences.
I had no idea that an arrange
ment like that , with people of dif
Cerent races working together in
friendshi p and mutual respect,
was in reality impossible and
doomed to failure . I'll never live
down the shame.
My humiliation continues to
day. Not having comp letely
grasped the ins and outs of nar
rowmindedness, I did not unders
tand a remark I overheard the
other day. Speaking about blacks,
an individual stated , "It would n 't
be so bad except there 's a famil y
of them living on the next block. "
His tone of voice indicated that
this condition was indeed serious.
I couldn 't understand why a fami
Iy oCanothcr ethnic group living
down the street would cause such
dismay .
Perhaps the speaker was afraid
that the little black childre n mi ght
be seen play ing in their yard , or
worse yet , that the black family
mi ght invite the speaker 's fami
ly into their home for dinner.
Such imp lications arc indeed
fri ghtening.
Because of these social obli gations I have , I must now become
a full-fled ged bi got. I must renounce all my memories of
friends and associates from other
backgrounds , and must forget all
the things I learned from being
exposed to other cultures.
I was wrong for thinking that
other societies had an intrinsic
value of their own , and that a
man ' s skin was no indication of
hi. ; heart , so now I must pay the
price.
I found that it i.s difficult to be
a proper racist. It is a complicated
procedure that must be followed
to the smallest detail. I looked at
famous people who were very
good at hating others , and followed their examp le.
First of all , the prospective
racist must take some vague
statistics and "modif y " them a
bit. (Left-handed people who
build model tanks consistently do
better at IQ tests.) Next , some
outri ght lies must be constructed .
(People who arc not left-handed
and do not build model tanks are
more likel y to commit murder ,
and have caused the downfall of

every society throug hout history.)
When anyone claims that these
truths arc not factual , the pro
speclivc racist must rep ly that the
accusers arc "p inko liberal com
mics ". effectivel y ending all
debate.
The following step requires
p icking out a particular racial ,
ethnic , or reli g ious group. The
group must be hi ghl y visible but
not have any means of fi ghting
back. Finall y , since racism and
economic strife often go hand in
hand , the racist must blame all his
problems on the chosen group.
(M y car won 't start , and it 's all
the fault of that Eskimo that just
moved in across the street.)
But wait , there 's still more.
The bi got trainee must decide
which sort of racist to become. I
have noticed four distinct types.
The "redneck" racist is the
ultra conservative person who
hates anyone or anything that
didn ' t come from his town ,
village , boroug h , county, or
cellblock.
rhe "liberal racist is the one
who always supports civil ri ghts ,
opposes apartheid vi gorousl y ,
pushes for the Civil Liberties
Union , and so on. Howevur ,
when a black famil y moves next
door , the "liberal" racist i.s the
fi rst to go hysterical and grab his
shotgun.
The "reli gious " racist is the
one I have the most difficulty
understanding. He preaches
Chr istian love and brotherhood
during the day and wears a cone
shaped sheet on his head at ni ght.
I' m still try ing to find the verse
in the Bible that says. "You shall
love your nei g hbor as yourself ,
unless he 's from another ethnic
group. "
The fourth type is the "small
town " racist , which seems to be
pretty popular around here . These
arc peop le who have lived in
Yuckburg PA all their lives and
have never seen a black person up
close. They have heard terrible
things about them from Aunt Ed
na , and are sure that if one mov ed into town the whole place
w o u l d t u r n into a g hetto
overni ght.
Never mind that the black man
has a Ph.D. and teaches at the
university, he 's bound to be
trouble.
So what 's a sociall y-impaired
person Jikc myself to do? I keep
lurvmg'thesc delusions that petpie are all the same underneath,
and I still like-Aretha Franklin.
I guess there 's no hope for me.

Racism question

Let 's get the facts st raight
Editor:
After reading an article signed
"Friends to All" concerning
racism at this university , I could
no longer allow my pen to rest.
I am not sure where Friends get
their information from, but much
of it is just p lain wrong !
However , like many authorities
on racism . Friends may just be
self-proclaimed experts on the
subject.
Ken Roberts never blamed the
low retention rate of blacks at
Bloomsburg University solely on
discrimination , as stated by
Friends.
It i.s a fact , however , that the
retention rate of blacks is much
lower than that of whites. Could
discrimination have something to
do with this?

Friends suggest that more
blacks should get involved. I
wonder if Friends know that ol
tfi c total number of black students
compared to white , there is a
liirgcr percentage of blacks partici pating in CGA (approx. 4 percent) compared to that of Whites
(approx. .7 percent).
I agree with Friends that institutional racism has lasted for
centuries in this country , but can
Friends seriousl y compare the intensity of racism other minorities
face to that faced by blacks in this
country .
If Friends forgot or did not
know , blacks were the onl y major minority in the United States
who were subjected to slavery .
Friends, when was the last time
you saw a film where women
were hosed down or chased b y
police dogs for demonstrating for
E.R.A.? Oh. I forgot , that is an-

cient history . We arc supposed to
forget about all of that , aren 't wc?
Friends also asked why blacks
want special rights. Exactl y what
ri g hts are you talking about?
What do black beauty pageants
have to do with ri ghts? There arc
beauty pageants for teenagers ,
sing le women and married
women , so why can 't wc have
b e a u t y pageants for black
women?
I' m sorry , I forgot that when
we have our own beauty pageants
wc arc segregating ourselves.
When we sit together at dinner in
the commons wc arc also
segregating ourselves , according
to Friends and one of BU' s
vice-presidents.
The next time that Friends go
into the commons , I suggest they
look around and see how many
tables are occup ied solel y by
whites or Indians. Don 't wc all
segregate ourselves by surrounding ourselves with peop le of
similar interests or backgrounds'?
I wonder who Friends sit with at
dinner?
Do you want to know what
bugs me? College students who
cannot read! I have yet to sec a
T-shirt or sweatshirt that reads
"Bloomsburg University Minority Student. " I do own , however ,
a
sweatshirt
that
reads
" B l o o m s b u r g , Lockhavcn ,
Mansfield 1986 Minority Student
Retreat. "
One word can change the
whole meaning, can 't it? I hope
t h i s meets w i t h Friends '
approval.
I believe that Friends ' question
about burdensome assi gnments
put on our black faculty and ad-

Out of the frying pan

ministrators could be best
answered by these BU staff
members, if they choose to do so.
Just because Mr. Roberts decided not to print any examples does
not mean that these assignments
do not exist.
Friends believe that Mr.
Roberts has lost their perspective
of what college is all about.
I disagree ! College is a part of
life . Unfortunately, to many
black people , life is a demonstration. Wc have to prove ourselves
on a dail y basis. Friends may not
be able to understand this. As someone put it , "how can you di g
where I' m coming from if you
haven 't been where I' ve been. "
If Friends still don 't understand , they can come see me and
wc will talk about it.
Friends also called Ken
Roberts a man full of self-p ity .
What is this based on? I read
nothing in Mr. Roberts article
that indicated self-p ity.
Where did Friends get the idea
that Ken was going to act in a
violent manner? Has he in the
past? Or is this just a stereotype
that forced Friends to think that
Ken would turn into a violent person? Friends took one line out of
Ken 's article , changed the meaning and asked if wc are headed
back to violence? Was that fair?
I think that wc all agree that
there arc racism problems not only here but throug hout the United
States. However , before we solve
these problems , we have to get
facts stra ight and not allow our
op inions and misconceptions to
shadow these facts. We should
also take the time to think about
things before express ourselves.

Take a dose of common sense

Editor:
A problem of safety to students
existed in Bloomsburg severa l
years ago. It was the danger of
being hit by a car as you tried to
cross Li ghtstreet Rd. to get on
campus. To solve this problem ,
a $100 ,000 walkway was
constructed.
"Not so, " say some , myself
included. With the construction
of the walkway , we have simp ly
moved
the danger from
Lightstreet Rd. and onto the road
that runs between Simon Hall and
the carpenter 's shop.
This road is the preferred route
of students who are going to
class. The trick y curve between
the buildings prevents a motorist
from seeing students walking on
the road . This could very easil y
result in the injuring of a
pedestrian.
This is not a new problem. At
a CGA meeting last year , this
very problem was brought up.
The solution was to ask campus
police to erect or paint a sign warning motorists about pedestrians
on the road . The request was
answered with a small (10 inch
by 14 inch) black and yellow sign
on Simon Hall.
You are saying to yourself the
problem was actuall y corrected ,
a plus to the Law Enforcement
Office. WRONG.
There are two major flaws with
this sign; number one being its

size. It is barely bigger than an
ordinary notebook. Second and
more important is its placement.
Simon Hall is at the end of the
dangerous curve. By the time the
motorist has seen the sign , he
may have alread y hit someone.
The reason I wrote this letter
is to point out a problem that
needs to be corrected . This can
be accomplished by using some
common sense and placing a
larger sign on the road between
the carpenter 's shop and Nor-

thumberland Hall.
It is such a simp le thing that someone in the business of safety
should have corrected it long
before now.

Desire for thinness causes disorders
Editor's note:Thefollowing story
was written by Linda Berberoglu
and deals with the eating
disorders known as bulimia and
anorexia. It f irst appeared in the
Nov. 24, 1986 edition of the Sunbury Dail y Item and is being
reprinted with their permission.
SUNBURY - An obsession
with food , and intense fear of
becoming fat , excessive dieting,
and self-induced vomiting after
binges.
These symptoms characterize
two distinctl y uni que eating
disorders that are affecting teenage girls and young women at
alarming ly hi gh rates , area
psycholog ists say .
Anorexia and bulimia are
related in that those who suffer
from either disorder are obsessed with thinness and have a morbid fear of becoming overwei ght.
"Women have been taught to
hate their bodies. An eating
disorder isn 't how much you eat
or thro w up. It 's how obsessed
you are with eating and how
much it controls your life , " said
Susan Tenzer , a certified clinical
mental health counselor.
Tenzer is director of the Center
for Personal Development in
Allentown , an outpatient center
dealing exclusively with the treatment of eating disorders. She
recently lectured at Bucknell
University to more than 200
students , most of them women.
Mental health experts say that
about 90 to 95 percent of those
suffering from eating disorders
are women.
Anorexia , characterized by excessive wei ght loss , is much
easier to detect than bulimia ,
which typ ically does not involve
significant weight fluctuations.
Bulimia is characterized by
binge eating, followed by selfinduced vomiting , laxative use
and other purg ing methods. It is
much more common than anorexia . Tenzer said. Some experts
have said that 20 percent of college women may suffer from an
eating disorder.
"It starts out in pursuit of thinness. Every bulimic , almost
without fail...has been dieting excessively, " Tenzer said.

She discussed the concept of
"set point , " a person 's natu ral
weight if she is not dieting or
bing ing and is exercising
moderately . A dilemma arises
when "you want to be a size 5 but
your body wants to a size 10.
Starving people need to eat.
It is not uncommon for a
woman to develop anorexia and
then become bulimic , she said.
An anorexic does not intend
"to go from 120 pounds to 70.
She gets trapped in dieting. The
obsession is what destroys people , " Tenzer said.
Other defining characteristics
of anorexia include self-induced
starvation , resulting in a 25 percent or greater loss of body
weight , and a refusal to maintain
or gain weight , said Dr. Paul Kettlewell , a clinical psychologist at
Gesinger Medical Center ,
Danville.
The age of onset is typically 12
to 25, but this can vary . Anorexics typically have a distorted body
image , which can be mild or
gross. They view the progressive
weight loss as acceptable and can
perceive of themselves as
overweight even when others
around them become concerned
over their emaciated state , Kettlewell said.
Bulimics tend to be slightl y
older than anorexics and more extroverted , according to research
conducted by professors at the
Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine in Baltimore , Md.
The binge eating that
characterizes bulimia "doesn 't
necessarily have to be a worldsetting binge but that the person
feels out of control ," Kettlewell
said. The frequency of selfinduced vomiting varies from
several times a month to more
than five times a day , research
indicates.
Bulimics do not always end a
binge session with vomiting.
Sometimes they use laxatives or
diuretics , Ms. Tenzer said.
Laxatives are ineffective
because "you have to keep increasing the amount for it to
work , " she said. "You start out
taking one or two , but build up
to taking 60 per day ."
In addition , the user is merely

losing water weig ht "and

State Board approves BU program

.'• The Pennsylvania State Board
of Nursing recently voted to retain full approval of the
Bloomsburg University bachelor
of science degree program of
j .ursjng.
i This latest approval followed a
three-day survey visit by State
Board Representatives who
verified the university 's compliance with the State Board rules
and regulations for baccalaureate
nursing programs.
' The representatives met with
administrators , faculty, and
students and made site visits to
several clinical agencies currently
used by the university program.

The visit , which is routine and
now expected every three years
in accordance with a new state
law , resulted in commendations
for 16 changes and improvements
made in the program since the
previous evaluation in 1982, according to Dorette Welk, BU nursing department chairperson.
"Some of the areas receiving
commendation were faculty
qualifications, ari excellent record
system, accessibility to computerization , input in to library
aquisitions , and the quality of
facilities in the McCormick
Center for Human Services , "
Welk said.

Welk noted that the current ac-

Further , thc source said , Bauer
told the Domestic Policy Coun cil that sex education in schools
"should be a local decision , arrived at only after consulting with
the community , particular l y with

course ought to be consistent with
the values of the community . "
But one federal health official

the continual development of the

I HAVE A DREAM

'f i have a dream that one day every valley shall be
exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low.
The rough p laces will be plain and the crooked
places will be made straig ht , "and the glory of the
Lord shall be revealed , and all flesh shall see it
together. "
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back
to the South with. With this faith we will be. able
to hew out of the mountain of despair , a stone of
hope. With this faith we will be able to transform
the jang ling discords of our nation into a beautiful
symp hony of brotherhood. With this faith we will
be able to work together , to pray together, to struggle together , to go to jail together, knowing that we
will be free one day.
And this will be the day. This will be the day
when all of God' s children will be able to sing with
new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land
of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my father
died , land of the pil grim ' s pride, from every mountain side , let freedom ring. " And if America is to
be a great nation , this must become true.
So let freedom ring from the prodi gious hill tops
of New Hampshire; let freedom ring from the
mighty mountains of New York; let freedom ring
from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsy lvania;
let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of
Colorado; let freedom ring from the curvaceous
slopes of California. But not only that , let freedom
ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia; let freedom
ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee; let free%-/
dom ring from every hill and mole hill of Missis; _#;. v'*-.
sippi. "From every mountain side , let freedom

It will be another semester of
standing around and w a i t i n g in

establishment, the Scranton Commons. Students will congregate in
and around the cultura l hub of our
u n i v e r s i t y , the Kehr U n i o n .
And hopefull y , we all get a
semester closer to that great in evitable, graduation , after we ' ve
put up with thc ri gors and emotional hardshi ps thc registration
process brings.
For examp le, as a student who
has earned the distinction of lh
ing off-campus and earning more
than 115 credits. I had to appear ,
in person, between 8:45 and 9:00
Monday m o r n i ng .
Because of this preposterou s
t i m e infringement upon mv ' nor

.

It ' s also ver\ easy to feel sorry
for those peop le who are p laced ,
for w h a t e v e r reason, in the
' H o ld s ' line , especially w h e n
t h e y ' ve stood in l i n e with you up
to the point of actuall y 'g etting
t h e i r schedules.
Then they hear 'I ' m sorry, a
hold has been p laced on your
schedule ' and they either meek ly or angril y wander over to the
(u s u a l l y ) long line in front of yet
a n o t h e r foldable desk.
But for those of us who make
it to the point of actually obtain ing our schedules, we must then
wade throu g h the endless procession of filliii ' * out and 'or obtain-

ing off-campus mailboxes , meal
tickets , calenders , etc.
These procedures are u n doubtedl y necessary to the harmonious continuance of 'flow ' to
this university 's machinery , of
which many of us , as students ,

But as someone (a decidcl y
stalwart cog) who , after four
years, has steadfastly endured this
organizational ritual , I can onl y
wish thc best of luck to the rest

As far as thc rest of thc
semester goes, kiddies , sit back .
relax, and enjoy the show.

Billy Joel is still street
tough and making it
by Dennis Hunt

LA Times- Washington Post Service

TUCSON . Ariz. - Bill y Joel
winced in pain as he fiddled with
a formidable-looking brace on his
recentl y sprained ri ght ankle.
"I may never waltz again. " he
said. "Of course 1 didn 't waltz
before I hurt this thin g either. "
In jeans and a T-shirt. Joel
_.
looked as if he were dressed for
gardenini g rather than a sold-out
concert at the Tucson Community
Center. It was about two hours
before showtime and even thoug h
he must have been nervous , he
did not show it.
At 37. the native o f t h e colorfull) named Long Island suburb
of Hicksvillc still comes across
like a shrewd, smart-alecky. NewYork street toug h. Being a superrich superstar with a stack of
million-selling albums and a
g lamorous wife , model Christie
B r i n k l e y . does not seem to have
"one to his head.
"Me. acting like a stuck-up
star, puttin ' on airs? Gimme a
break. " he said. "I' m still cool .
But if I wasn ' t, do you think I'd
be dumb enoug h to act like an arrogant jerk in front of the
media?"
Joel , a rock critic for a short
time in his youth, has a love-hate
a ffair with the media. He reads
all his press cli pp ings even
though the negative ones upset
h i m . He even quotes reviews at
i
will. The power of the press , he
'
admitted, impresses him. But , he
noted , that power can be abused.

like Abraham Lincoln. This is a

rock n roll star we ' re talking
about here . I like Bruce asjriuch
as the next guy but he 's a singer ,
not Jesus Christ.
"The media have hel ped me
too. They 've made me a hero at
times. But they 've also made me
seem like a bum. Realisticall y ,
I' m somewhere in between.
On stage for about 2 hours.
Joel , on a current tour of the
United States , turns in the kind
ot intense , hi g h-energy performance audiences love. People
look at him at the end of the
show , drained , soaked in sweat ,
and know he has given them their
money 's worth.
He learns what the audience
likes b y a rather bizarre process:
"I step out of myself and go out
into the audience. Part of me is
sitting in the audience checking
myself out. I' m thinking. What 's
that guy doing on stage? Is he any
good? Is he b e i ng real?
Sometimes I don 't like what I see
^
I think to myself I'd better do better. "
What is interesting about his
shows is the songs he does not
sing. The material he avoids includes some of his best-known
songs. He does not do "She 's
Always a Woman , " "Movin '
out " or "Say Goodbye to
Holl ywood. " Thc most surprising omission , though , is thc
romantic ballad "Just thc Way
You are , " which has become a
standard .
"People are telling me I gotta
sing it , " he said. "People have
gotten married to this song. They
say it 's an institution. Who cares?
I' m noHnto it. It 's like a cocktaillounge fune! We play it Halfheartedl y. My drummer is making jokes while I' m singing it. "

'Mosquito Coast' an adventure
Alhe Fox (Harrison Ford) is
possessed by a singluar dream : to
escape with his family to a pure ,
untainted world , a jungle Utopia
far from the corrupting influences
of the modern world.
A fiercely independent man ,
Allie is fed up with the America
of fast food , television , pollution ,
phony evangelism and crime.
Packing up his wife," .wo sons and
twin daughters, he board s a
frei ghter bound for the Mosquito
Coast.
"Goodbye, America ," says
Allie , "and have a nice day!"
Based on Paul Theroux 's bestselling novel , "The Mosquito
Coast ' is the exhilarating adventure story of how a family 's quest
for paradise becomes a terrif y ing
fi ght for survival. A Jerome
Hellman production for the Saul
Zaentz Company, it has been
directed by Peter Weir and stars
Harrison Ford , Helen Mirrc n ,
River Phoenix , Conrad Roberts ,
Andre Gregory , and Martha
Plimpton. Paul Schrader adapted
the screenplay from Theroux 's
novel . Jerome Hellman was the
producer and Saul Zaentz the executive producer of the Warner
Bros, release.
"The Mosquito Coast "
reunites Harrison Ford with
director Peter Weir after

Billy Joel

"Witness ," for which they both
received Academy Award
nominations , and offers both artists an even broader canvas on
which to display their prodigious
talents. For Ford in particular ,
"The Mosquito Coast " provides
his most challeng ing dramatic
role to date . Audiences will see
him as they have never before
seen him , stripped of the romantic trapp ings of his previous
portraya ls.
Ford felt an immediate connection with the character of Allie
Fox. "I don 't have any trouble
representing something that I
understand ," Ford notes , "and
this is a character that I've n ever
felt any difficulty under standing.
So I didn 't think of it as a more
difficult job than what I'd done
before . On the other hand , I was
aware that there was opportunity here for more comp licated
characterization; and because the
character is so verbal and effusive , it goes against the kind of
characters for which I'm best
known. That was the attraction
the part held for me: to do
something different. "
In the role of Allie Fox 's
younger son , Jerry , is Jadrien
Steele , a veteran performer at the
ri pe old age of eleven , having
been in show business since he

was five months old. His twin
sisters April and Clover are
played by Hilary and Rebecca
Gordon , two eig ht-year-old
fashion models making their
screen debut.
In the film , Allie Fox purchases
"town "—
an
abandoned
Jeronimo-actually no more than
a few dilap idated shacks in an
overgrown jung le clearing. At
Jeronimo , the Fox family builds
from scratch an ingenious and
comfortable settlement for
themselves , comp lete with
bedrooms , a kitchen , showers
and an impressive set of gardens.
Weir felt it was important that the
construction of Jeronimo be filmed in continuity . To that end ,
three Jeronimos were created ,
each in a little more advanced
state than the one before .

wild sounds. I wouldn t change
a thing on that album. To mc it 's
pc r f e e t . ' '
His fans , thoug h were
somewhat put off by it. "The
Ny lon Curtain " sold 1.5 million .
For an artist who usuall y sells 4
million , that is nearly a flop.
He recaptured his fans with the
late '50s and earl y '60s rhythm
and blues sound of his next
album , 1983' s "An Innocent
man , " which spawned such hits
as "Uptown Girl" and "The
Longest Time" and is his biggest
seller at 6 million.
"That album came so easil y, I
thought it couldn 't be any good. "
he said, "the songs just rolled
out. They came in my dreams. I

was dreaming up a storm.

"I'd like this film to have the
power ," says Weir , "that the
books of Robert Louis Stevenson
and Charles Dickens had for me,
and still do. Particularly Stevenson , because ofthe exotic adventure stories he wrote , which were
for all ages. Like 'The Mosquito
Coast ,' they are adult adventures-the stakes are high and the peop le who feel pain really feel it.
I' m try ing to make a grand
adventure . "

From page 4

He does not sing another oldie ,
"My Life , " either. "I don 't like
it any more . It didn 't age well. I
don 't think it 's a strong song. "
Surprising ly, he also excludes
"Modern Woman ," the first hit
sing le from the current album.
Written for the movie "Ruthless
People ," it is apparentl y not one
of his favorites, he calls it a bit
"too poppy . "
Joel considers himself first and
foremost a songwriter.
"It may sound crazy , but songs
come to me in dreams ," he said.
"•I hear the melody, the chords ,
the rhythm. Sometimes I hear
sounds , vowel sounds. But I don 't
hear the words.
"What happens is that when
I' m try ing to write I get into this
creative frame of mind that 's still
there when I' m asleep. Stuff
comes to me when I'm sleeping.
I'll wake up at 4 or 5 o 'clock and
mumble something into a tape
recorder or go to a piano . "
"New York State of Mind ,"
one of his favorite songs , was
dreamed up. "It 's effortless and
seamless and it doesn 't sound
forced ," he said.
As a youngster in Long Island ,
Joel studied classical piano but on
reaching his teens switched to pop
and jazz. His problem as a pianist
was establishing hi gh standards
he was never able to meet.
"I wanted to be Bill Evans or
Art Tatum or Oscar Peterson , "
he said. "Oscar is so good he
makes me crazy . He does throwaway stuff that I'd give my left
arm to be able to do. I finall y
realized that I was never going to
p lay as well as those guys. So I
focused
on
eventuall y
songwritng . "
That turned out to be a wise
decision. But his piano-playing in
Los Angeles bars helped support
him before he signed with Columbia Records in 1973. In those
days he showed a knack for story
songs like "Piano Man ", also thc
title of his first Columbia album ,
and "The Ballad of Bill y the
Kid. "
By the late '70s he had
developed into a consummate pop
writer , cranking out Top 10
sing les on albums like "The
Stranger ", his first album with
Phil Ramone, who is still his producer and "52nd Street. "
Joel' s most recent work shows
that he has branched out , exploring various genres while doing
concept albums. "Glass Houses "
(1980) , a rock album , sold 4
million. His next , "The Ny lon
Curtain " (1982), exposed his
sociopolitical conscience. Certainl y his most ambitious album ,
it is also his favorite : "It was a
difficult album. It took a year to
make . It 's a '60s FM radio
album , a real sonic experience ,
thc kind you listen to, on headphones and freak out with all thc

His current album , "The
Brid ge," is a th rowback to his
more coventional pop albums of
the '70s . The highli ghts are "A
Matter of Trust ," "Code of
Silence", written and performed
with Cyndi Lauper , and "Baby
Grand , " a duet with Ray Charles.

Harrison Ford stars as Allie Fox , a man possessed with thc dream of escaping from the corrupting influences
of the modern world to a jungle Utopia in "The Mosquito Coast , " a Warner Bros, release.

"There 's no concept , just a
mixture of songs , " he said. "I
like the album now. But , who
knows , I may hate it next year
because I'll be off into some other
style of music. My fans may have
jxou ble keeping up with me and
these stylistic changes! Let me tell
you something. Sometimes I have
trouble keeping up with me. "

Off the bench

Who 's making the laws?

Dave Sauter
Next to thc Penn State-Miami
matchup for thc national champ ionshi p in thc Fiesta Bowl , thc
onl y other major headline grabber during the bowl games was
thc NCAA ' s drug testing program of players on bowl teams.
Under thc program , all 22
starters , on each bowl team were
tested , along with another 14
players who were randoml y
selected, for over 100 banned
substances.
And as most people are aware

Please keep in mind that I am
against the use of steroids , but I
stiil wonder why a player should
be penalized for following his
doctor 's orders .
Unfortunately , the NCAA has
decided to develop a hard-nose attitude toward the situation and
still penalize the players.
This leads me to another question which concerns their list of
"banned substances. " Most if not
all people would consider this list
to include illegal drugs.
But NO , not the NCAA.
For some strange reason ,
p layers with marijuana in their
system were declared eligible for
bowl play .
Hmmnn...
Following doctor 's orders is illegal and smoking pot is NOT illegal according to NCAA
standards.
Oh well , I guess that makes
sense.
One thing for sure , though , at
least we all know what that
strange smell coming out of thc
NCAA' s office is.

of , several big-name players were
caught in, the drug-net , including
All-America linebacker , Brian
Bosworth , of Oklahoma , and AllAmerica offensive guard , Jeff
Bregel , of Southern California.
Both were declared ineli gible
for bowl play because of steroid
use.
My first impression ofthe program ,was positive in that there
was finally a concerted effort being made to eliminate the drug
problem in college athletics.
But having researched more on
the subject , it seems to mc the
NCAA has made a couple of
mistakes.
For one thing, the NCAA did
not leave a long enough grace
period for those who mi ght have
been using steroids or other drugs
to end their use.
In the cases of Bosworth ,
Bregel , and several other players,
it seems thc players had been
prescribed steroids by their doctors (not team physicians) to help
speed up the recovery from an injury . Then their use was

Tuesday , while a group of his
teammates cavorted in Central
Park making a music video ,
Lawrence Tay lor received thc
NFL 's Most Valuable Playe r
award; defensive end George
Martin received the "Man ofthe
Year " award Wednesday from
the Tomorrow ' s Children ' s

Dear Penn State Fans ,
Yes , it 's true. One of your
sports editors reall y blew his call
and must now eat humble pic.
In my college football bowl
prediction column , I brashl y
picked Miami to defeat Penn
State in the Fiesta Bowl.
And now. in accordance to the

terms established in the wager
between myself and my co-editor ,
Mike Mullen , I hereby apolog ize
to all Penn State fans for my erroneous prediction.
It was a close game that could
have gone either way . Fortunately for the Nittany Lions , their
new pass defense worked and

they stopped the key to the Hurricane offense , Heisman trophy
winner , Vinny Tcsteverde.
Once again , my sincere
apolog ies to all.

"A Century of Excellence. "
That was the Penn State theme
for this year. They should have
called it "A Season of Excellence. "
Playing what many called tin
easy schedule , Penn State
comp leted
their
season
undefeated , in the process raising a few eyebrows whe.i they
knocked off second ranked
Alabama 28-3.
From there thc scene shifted
lo Tempo, Arizona , where the
bi ggest college football game
o f t h e decade would be played
to decide (except for three
misinformed sports writers)
Ihe national champ ionship.
The Miami Hurricanes blew
into Tempo and lived up to
the ir nickname, that is , blew
off a lot of wind.
"Did tli e Japanese sit and
eat with Pearl Harbor before
they bombed them?" one
p layer said as he led the team
on a walkout of the banquet .
By the way , Penn State wore
blazers and ties while Miami
donned their fati gues and
boots.
This was quickl y followed
by the best line of tlie week as
Nittany Lion punter rep lied ,
"Wait, they lost that war ,
didn 't they?"
All the time that Miami was
try ing to psyche out the Lions ,
Penn Stale was envisioning
that first hit on the field.
Duff y Cobbs , Lion left cor
nerback , spoke of what he
thought would happen upon his
first meeting with Michael
Irwin.
"Irwin
w i d e left
as
Testeverde takes th e snap fro m

'Irwin wide left as
Testa verde takes the
snap from center, he
lets it f l y comp lete to
Irwin- THUMP! '
center , he lets it fly comp lete
to \rw\n-THUMP. "
Michael Irwin meet Duff y
Cobbs.
This was exactl y as it occurred in the game. Not onl y in
Cobb' s case, but every Lion
defender , sometimes two or
three at the same time , laid
devestating hits on Miami ' s
receivers.
Thoug h they wouldn 't admit
it, the seven dropped passes
and two fumbled receptions
testif y to the fact that someone
heard footsteps.
W h i l e roug hing up his
receivers physicall y, thc Penn
State secondary p lagued
Testeverd e mentall y, conjuring up ghosts of bowl games
past , for both teams.
Marcus
A l l e n , USC ,
Horschcl Walker , Georg ia ,
and Doug Flutie , Boston College are three Hcisman trophy
winners that Joe Paterno has
beaten , thc fi rst two in bowl
games.
I must admit thoug h , I admire the way Miami' s players
and coach Jimmy Johnson accepted thc defeat.
These role models for
young athletes everywhere
thre w their helmets in thc
locker room , dumped a cooler
on the rug they demanded be
put into the visitors clubhouse ,
and then pointed the finger at
each other in an effort to find
a scapegoat for thc defeat
Those wimpy Penn State
guys didn 't do anything that
tough after they lost to
Oklahoma in 1986.
They just accepted thc defeat
like gentlemen and came out
thc next year to play again .
What nerds!
National Champions though, i

10th , the
On J a n u a r y
Bloomsburg women 's swim team
began the second half of their
season with a dual meet against
Army.
The Division I Army team
traveled down from West Point
for their first-ever swim meet
against the Huskies.
"We scheduled this meet with
Army because we wanted our
women to swim against some
loug h competition , " said Husky
coach Dave Rider.
With onl y three events left in
the meet , the Huskies were
suprising ly holding on to a slim
one-point advantage.
Unfortunatel y for the Huskies ,
thc 400 individual medley prov ed to be thc turning point for the
women Cadets . They moved
ahead of the home team, taking
a fi rst , second, and fourth place
in the event. Army went on to
claim a 144-124 victory .
Some wins for the Huskies

fall to Division I Army

were achieved by freshman standouts Karen Pfistcrc r and Kim
Youndt. Pfistcrcr won thc 1.00
and 200 freesty le events , while
Youndt took thc 100 and 200
backstroke events.
Pfistcrcr and Youndt also combined with Carol Gurniak and
Beth Roedcr to win the 200
medley relay.
In addition , Roedcr shincd on
her own by capturing firsts in thc
100 and 200 butterfl y events.
Amy Cole was the hi ghest placing Husk y in the diving category
by placing second in both the one
and three meter dives.
"Everyone , i n c l u d i n g the
women , were supriscd that the
meet was so close . We gave Army such a shock that they had to
rearrange their line-up halfway
throug h the meet. I don 't think
they expected LIS to be so strong, "
said Rider.
'It was a very exciting meet
Our women swam some excep
tional races , " he added.
For the year , the Huskies
record stands at 2 2.

Giants are overwhelming favorites
by Dave Sauter
Sports Iiditor

Okay football fanatics , here ' s
what you ' ve all been waitin g for.
On a nice, green , grass field in
sunny Pasadena, California, the
two best football teams of 1986
will ti ght il out for bragging ri ghts
of the year.
So who will win this mi ghty
war? Will it be the pass oriented
offense of the Denver Broncos
led by All e v e r y t h i n g John
Elway ?
Or will it be the New York
(New Jersey ?) Giants and their
collective group of 280 pound
defensive monsters?
Let ' s examine this matchup
more closel y, shall we?
Denver started off their season
on a tear going undefeated for
their first seven names , but then

slipped and I unshed up with a
1 1 5 mark entering the playoffs .
But they have rebounded to
record come from-behind vic tories over the New Eng land
P a t r i o t s and the C l e v e l a n d
Browns.
Tlie Gaints on the other hand
lost their first game , won five in
a row , lost to Seattle, and then
proceeded to demolish everything
in their way since. Their record
(including p layoff wins over the
V9ers and the Redskins) stands at
16 2.
The Broncos when play ing
consistently are almost impossi
hie to beat, but so are the Giants.
So who do you pick to w i n ?
First , you forget about the bet
ting lines established in Las
Vegas. There i.s no way in the
world that cither team will win by
more than four or five points.

Second, you take into con
sideration that the two teams have
played once alread y with the
Giants winning at home on a last
second field goal , 19-16.
Third , you must remember that
John Elway has an ankle injury
that has hurt his scrambling abili
ty throug hout the playoffs .
And finall y, fourth , you must
remember that injury or not. he
can still throw the ball 70 yards
in the air against an onl y average
Giants secondary.
So with these points in mind ,
I have come up with an educated
guess as to who will win this
game. I fli pped my trusty quarter
and it came down heads.
The Giants will win 23-19.
But don 't just take my opinion .
Here i.s how some other students
on campus think the game will
turn out:

Bloomsbu rg wrestling

20
Scott Lamerand: Giants 27
Denver 20
Joe Jackson: Denver 7 Giants 3
Mike Mullen: Giants 3 Denver 0
Don Chomiak: Gaints 27 Denver

Lori Stoner: Giants 28 Denver 17
Karen Reiss: Giants 24 Denver

Sharon Seida: Giants 24 Denver

Mike Boyer: Denver 21 Giants

Scott McVi gar: Giants 24 Denver

28
Noelle Norton: Giants 28 Denver
1.
John Gallag her: Giants 21
Denver 17
Ken Forrest: Denver 24 Giants

21

Ken Kirsch : Giants 45 Denver 3
It seems that based on this
small selection of peop le , the
Giants seem to be favored
overwhelming ly.
Look for the Giants to jump out
once again to a quick lead , onl y
to have Denver close the gap at
the end.
The key to the game will not
be so much linebacker , Lawrence
Tay lor , but Phil Simms and Joe
Morris. They must be able to
continue their fine play and control their turnovers. If they can
do this , the Giants should find
victory .
