A Bloomsburg University
freshman who was seeking a
federal court injunction to set
aside his spring 1987 suspension
has dropped the lawsuit with
which he hoped to be reinstated.
Matthew P. Mclntyre , 18, of
Gettysburg , after considering the
cost and time of seeking the
restraint , dropped the federal
lawsuit.
"It was too late into the
semester to do anything, " Mclntyre said , adding that if he pursued and received the restraint , it
would be difficult for him to catch
up on his school work .
Mclntyre 's attorney Mark A.
Lemon said after talking with
Mclntyre and his father , they
agreed to withdraw the lawsuit.
"We (Lemon and BU' s
defense attorney Gregory
Neuhauser) agreed to dismiss the
injunction prior to the hearing ,"
Lemon said.
According to the PressEnterprise , Mclntyre and Robert
Partlow , another BU freshman
suspended for his involvement
with Mclntyre in the Oct. 31 vandalism of a number of tombstones
at the Old Rosemont Cemetery,
are scheduled to appear in Columbia County Court on Feb. 4
for arraignment on charges of
criminal mischief , public
drunkenness and underage
drinking.
Partlow was not involved in
Mclntyre 's federal lawsuit.
Abortion
conflict
continues
by Lee May
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
Thousands of anti-abortion activists braved snow and cold
Thursday to stage a march on the
14th anniversary of the legalization of abortions, as supporters of
abortion rights countered that
public op inion is on their side.
The two sides , in what has
become an annual battle for attention from Congress and the
public , remained as adamantly
opposed as they have been since
1973, when the Supreme Court
declared abortions legal in a landmark decision know as Roe vs.
Wade.
And , as in the past , President
Reagan , through a telephone
hookup from the White House,
offered support to the abortion
foes , who shivered at a noontime
rally on the snow-covered Ellipse
nearby .
"We shall overcome bitterness
to reach a greater respect for
human life, " he said. "Together ,
we can overturn Roe vs. Wade
and end this national tregedy ."
In an interview , Nellie Gray,
leader of the anti-abortion march ,
also took up a civil rights theme,
likening herself to abolitionists
and to those who spoke out
against the Holocaust.
Gray said abortion , "is the
same kind of issue as slavery and
segregation. Innocent human beset ABORTION page 3

Snowstorm cripples campus
as university shuts down
by Scott Davis
News Editor
A snow storm labeled "The
Blizzard of '87" hammered the
East Coast last Thursday , dumping snow from 17 inches to 20
inches
in
and
around
Bloomsburg.
The storm resulted in the closing of Thursday 's classes fro m
12:30 p.m. on. As the storm continued into the evening, BU President Harry Ausprich decided to
close the campus all day Friday .
The decision to close was
only made twice in the last fifty
years.
Many students who had hopes
of going home for the weekend
found themselves stuck on campus because of the hazzardous
road conditions.
John Oswald , a freshman , was
supposed to leave for his
hometown of Port Carbon on
Thursday .
' 'My family feels the roads are
too dangerous to travel on , so
here I am ,' Oswald commented
as the snow continued falling
Friday .
The deep snow was made even
worse with a deep freeze during
the weekend. Saturday the
temperature fell to 9 degrees and
the wind chill pulled the
temperature well below zero .
Sunday the temperature was
registering at 8 degrees with
predictions of a high at only 17
degrees .
Although the storm created
headaches for most , some BU
students found ways to enjoy the
snow.
Skiers waxed up their skis.
Some skiers dared a ski jump they
formed between the Kehr Union
and Montour Hall.
Other students took to sledding
down the hill behind the Ben
Franklin Building. They seemed
to ride anything that would slide.
One group used small sleds while
others used garbage bags. Some
even used food trays.
The biggest events were the
snowball fights , usuall y beginning with a small group and ending
in an all-out war. The campus
police have asked students to
restrict the snowball fi ghts to the
area between North Hall and
Luzerne Hall because of the lack
of windows behind the two opposing sides.
The cold did not stop students
fro m going to parties. Students
who plan to attend parties in the
extreme cold should be aware of
the fact alcohol gives the body a
false feeling of warmth. This feeling can result in what is know as
"the silent death ."
"The silent death" is hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when
the blood in your body actually
begins to form ice crystals. The
false warm feeling received while
drinking can keep an individual
from realizing how cold his body
really is and makes hypothermia
even more dangerous. He thinks
he is warm when he is actuall y
freezing to death .
Pennsylvania State Treasurer
R. Budd Dwyer called a press
conference last Thursday for
what reporters thought would be
his announcement of resignation .
Instead , they covered his suicide.
Dwyer , who faced imprisonment for defrauding the state ,
began the press conference by
reading a 19-page statement inwhich he maintained that he was
innocent.
He then proceeded to pass out
envelopes to three of his top
aides. The envelopes were later
found to contain organ donor
cards and funeral arrangements .
After passing out the
envelopes , Dwyer reached into a
large manila envelope and pulled out a .357 magnum hand gun
and , in front of photograp hers ,
reporters and staff, placed the gun
in his mouth...then pulled the
trigger.
Dwyer was taken from the conference room in his Harrisburg
office to Harrisburg Hospital
where he was declared dead .
According to an Associated
Press story , Dwyer ,47 , was convicted in December of awarding
a $4.6 million contract to Com-

The chairman of Bloomsburg
University 's History department
presented a dinner lecture Tuesday dealing with the Nuclear
Arms Race.
Professor George Turner 's lecture covered the basics of the
complex Nuclear Arms issue. His
lecture began with a brief history
of the Arms Race, which was
born shortly after World War II
and the bombing of Hiroshima.
Professor Turner explained the
stages of the Arms Race development beginning with propeller
bombers , going to intercontinental- ballistic missiles, and concluding with today 's counterforce
systems.
Another point of concentration
was on the models and numbers
of nuclear weapons the U.S. and
U.S.S.R. posses , and their
destructive capabilities. Out of
the 55,000 nuclear weapons existing today , only 10,000 are
needed to destroy all the world's
major cities and cause tremendous devastation.
To finish , Professor Turner
predicted the results of a Nuclear
War. Included were a Nuclear
Winter and extensive fires that
would send enough smoke into
the atmosphere to block out thef
sun and result in extreme climactic changes .
Proceeding the lecture was a
brief question and answer session
in which many of the students
spoke about their fears of where
the Nuclear Arms Race will be in
the futu re .
Nearly everyone shared two
common concerns. One was how
their personal lives would be affected by the nuclear issue, and
what kind of world would their
children have.
Second was a concern that dealt
with the misallocations of
resources to build nuclear
weapons.

SAC offers involvement in BU
The Student Alumni Council
offers students an opportunity to
serve the university and the
Alumni Association , while learning about an exciting career area
virtually unknown to most college
students.
The organizational meeting
will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday January 27, in the Green
Room of the Kehr Union.
The most important project of
SAC is planning and staging the
"Senior Send-Off Picnic " in
April at the Festemaker Alumni
House on Lightstreet Road . Over
250 seniors attended the first picnic last year. SAC hopes the pic-
nic will become a tradition at BU.
Another activity that SAC will
sponsor is the "Alumni-Student
Mixer " on the day before
homecoming in October. This
event brings alumni back to campus a day early to share career experiences will current BU
students.
Being a part of SAC also gives
students a chance to explore an
exciting career area that many
students do not know about unless
they stumble on it by chance, according to Doug Hippenstiel ,
Director of Alumni Affairs.
Known to most of todays campuses as "institutional or univer-

Stasik said 50 percent of the
blood drives in the area are coming up 30 pints short of their
goals.
"I' m not sure to the reason
why there is a reduction of
donors ," Stasik said.
Stasik believes the fear of
AIDS may be responsible for the
reduction of donors , but points
out that donors cannot receive
AIDS from giving blood .
Stasik said BU blood drives in
the past were successful , but there
has been a decline in donors in recent drives.
"In November of 1985 the
bloodmobile collected 749 units
of blood from BU , and in January
of 1986 , 420 pints were given in
a one-day drive ," Stasik added.
Stasik stated that BU gave only 595 pints of blood in Nov. of
1986, 75 pints short of its 670
unit goal.
We have the support , we need
the donors ," Stasik said , adding
that many BU fraternities ,
sororities and organizations hel p
out tremendously with the set-up
of the bloodmobiles.

Explaining the open letter
This is not so much an
editorial as it is an explanation.
On this page, there is a letter
entitled , "An open letter to
Boyd Buckingham." It is a letter writte n by a former student ,
now college professor, to a
former administrator of this
university, back when BU was
Bloomsburg State College.
The main reason for running
the letter is that it reflects a large
number of today 's problems not
onl y at BU , but across the
country.
It was interesting to note ,
reading the lette r, the parallels
between what was happening
then and now. It seems as
thoug h the administrations of
not onl y the unive rsity, but this
country, have become conser-
vative again to the point of no
return.
Around the time that Bill
Sanders, the author of the letter ,
was
enrolled
at
Bloomsburg, freedom was not
had by the student press.
The Maroon and Gold , the
predecessor of The Voice, was
simply a rah-rah paper. It functioned , more or less, as the administration 's own publicity
organ. The campus, almost as
an entity, suffered from a severe
case of political bronchitis.
One day, Lyle Slack , a
reporter for the paper, came to
his editor with a story. The
story was critical of the administration of BSC.
The editor refused to run the
story. The Maroon and Gold
was effectively censored.
The reporter then quit the
paper and started his own , The
Gadfly. This paper was critical
of not onl y the BSC administration , but also attacked the state
and federal administrations as
well.
Editor:
I' m writing this letter because
of some problems I've noticed on
campus with the snow. I know
' maintenance cannot be expected
to be on-duty twenty four hours
a day , but something has to be
done to remove snow fro m the
walkways in a more efficient
manner. A recent incident will
hel p clarify this.
On Tuesday , following a large
snowfall , I was hel ping Vernon
Rochester (who requires a
wheelchair) to his car , which is
parked in the handicapped parking space between Montour and
North Hall. The sidewalk was
clean coming out of the doors of
Luzerne facing North Hall , but
when we reached the roadway
between the the buildings , there
was snow and ice on the road .
We couldn 't take the sidewalk
because it was full of students
who also wanted to avoid the
snow. Well , I tried to take Vernon down the road forward , but
his wheelchair sank in the snow.
When we finally reached the bottom , his car was snowed in
because of snowplows and the
traffic .
Vernon had to wait in the roadway as I attempted to get his car
out. I could not because of the
ice , so we decided to push him
to class. The route to class was
an obstacle course. There were
clean spots , but for every one we
encountered , we faced two spots
with either snow , ice or slush.
Going to class , for the
ph ysically handicapped , is very
hard without the snow. The snow
makes it twice as bad and nearly
impossible. I've seen a few
students brave the snow on crutches and nearl y fall in their attempt to get to class. What would
happen if someone was seriously injured and sued the
university ?
I think this problem could be
alleviated if the snow was removed early and completely. The
sidewalks should be cleaned
down to the surface , an inch
should not be allowed to remain
and turn to ice. I think it is our
business to inform the university
about this problem , because our
money hel ps to pay maintenance.
'¦ I think the snow should be
cleaned around the handicapped
parking spaces because someone
in the wheelchair cannot possibly
be expected to cross the snow to
get to their car or even to the
sidewalk once they pull in and
park.
To everyone involved with the
snow removal , I apologize if you
do your best to clean the
walkways , but to the rest , how
would you like to be in a
wheelchair and be ALL SNOWED IN.

I' ve been thinking about this
letter for about 18 years now. It 's
not that I' ve had nothing to say
to you . I just wanted to give time
a chance. I wanted to give you the
chance to be ri g ht.
Mr. Bucking ham , I hope you
remember. You were VicePresident then of Bloomsburg
State College (before they built
buildings in your name) and I was
a sophomore .
I wrote for the campus paper
and later became editor of The
Gadfly . You had Mark Piazza
and me over to your house for a
little friendly advice. Off the
record stuff. Just because you 're
a nice guy. Your wife served tea
and cookies.
You mentioned the foolishness
of my involvement with The
Gadfl y . You mentioned how
troubled my parents had become.
(You knew a little more about that
than you mentioned.) You told
me how I should be careful not
to come under the influence of
some professors that you knew to
be communists.
And you said , slowly and confidently, that you knew when I
grew older , I too would share
your wisdom. I'd be ashamed if
I didn 't change my ways. I'd
someday see things pretty much
like you.
Well , I decided you deserved
a response. Just so you 'd know
that your advice was thought
about. I wouldn 't want you to
think I was ungrateful. Or that
you were right.
What was The Gadfly ,
anyway ? It was a paper. You
couldn 't censor it so some said it
was "underground . " (Maybe
because it was printed in a church
basement.) It wasn 't very sympathetic to the BSC administration., .or any other administration
for that matter.
There was a sense, then ,
among those few of us at BSC
that we were involved in and connected with something bigger.
We were critically eyeing all of
our institutions. We enjoyed
reading, listening, thinking and
talking. You guys were such easy
foils. You didn 't need to expel us;
we would have expired on our
own without your unwitting help.
Bill Sanders became the third
editor of this paper.
Another aspect of the letter
that was interesting involved the
reaction this former student had
to "corruption." He despised it
then and does now.
It is encouraged that the letter be read . Not often does the
student return with wo rd s of
wisdom for those who
"educated" him.
Problems with snow removal
We thoug ht your judicial
system was more farcical than
judicious. This is how it malfunctioned. The Deans got suspicious.
They "investigated. " They
charged. They judged. They congratulated each other about due
process. Come on! Did you think
age, bigger cars , thousands of
diapers changed or a bigger
salary would make that look more
just? It 's still insane.
We raised the issues of a
segregated State College system
and were responsible for bringing that system under scrutiny
and , hopefully, some reform .
We didn 't like the war. You
remember that? You thought we
were unpatriotic, ill-informed and
undisciplined because we rejected
the war. How do you feel now?
We were all angry about Lt.
Galley and the massacre he led.
You , that he was being picked on.
We , that only he was being picked on. Right now , I bet you 're
wishing that they 'd leave Ronald
Reagan and Oliver North
Where are the chess players?
Bloomsburg has had a chess
club for more than 25 years , and
many alumjii are still playing
chess together. This February one
such team , "The Pawn Shoppe ,"
will be play ing in the U.S.
Amateur
Chess
Team
Championshi ps.
As the current advisor to the
Husky Rooks (BU chess club), I
was very pleased when these
alumni asked me to join them. I
would have much preferred to
take a team composed of our current undergraduates to this competition , but ri ght now we could
not field a team of four players
even if the CGA were willing to
fund the trip.
Last year we had four or five
It did not matter whether it was
in the East , the West , the South
or the Midwest; someone from
one of these groups was try ing to
censor or in some way control the
campus press.
During the course of this study
several disturbing trends stood
out:
First , no one seemed to have
any idea who the publisher of a
campus newspaper is. And
because advisers or students or
journalism departments don 't
know who the publisher is , they
don 't know what the paper's legal
rights are.
number of organizations which
deal with free press issues , there
is no one central source to which
a university newspaper in trouble
can turn for financial and legal
hel p in fi ghting censorshi p.
In summary , the censorshi p
dragon is alive and well on
university campuses throughout
the United States , so virile that it
could eventuall y threaten the
future of a free press in this
country .
The primary recommendation
of this study is that a national
foundation should be established
to hel p the college student press
fight censorship by publicizing
such attempts , by educating all
parties , and by offering financial
and
legal
assistance
to
beleaguered student journalists.
The time has come for professional journalism to give the issue
top priority .
Without such effort , the free
press in this country will be the
loser.
Censorship alive and well
Editor 's note: This article was
taken from a publication which
examines censorship on the campuses of the United States. It is
written in obsenwice of Freedom
of the Colleg e Student Press
Month , January 1987.
Afte r traveling 14,300 miles
and spending 55 days on the road
visiting and study ing 17 university student newspapers , two impressions stand out:
The good news is there are intelli gent , dedicated , newsoriented , and professionall y inspired student journalists 'at most
of the 17 newspapers.
The bad news is that censorshi p
is alive and well in some form on
every one of those campuses.
Censorship runs the gamut of
university groups: presidents and
provosts, vice presidents and
deans , department chairs and
newspaper advisers , and student
governments.
alone...not that they know each
other.
Do you remember how you and
your cohorts terrorized the lives
of students? How about those
sweet telephone calls to my
parents warning them of the
ominous influence of "those "
(READ: Percey, Sy lvester ,
Donovan) professors?
How about trying to expel the
original Gadfly, Lyle Slack , and
attempting to sabotage his entry
into the Peace Corps? How about
try ing to throw students out of
school for alleged violations of
law that the law could not prove?
Is that kind of big brother , guilty
'til you prove different , mentality still the job of the brain police
at BU?
It seems so strange to me that
you and the others were in the
education business. Why not
roofing, or carpet installation , or
hardware sales? There you
measure, you get your tools , and
you pound things into place. Why
education?
If I've learned anything it is
that you cannot learn if you cannot question. When you read of
Galileo 's and St. Thomas More 's
brushes with authority , whom do
you identify with? Now your
clones , the progeny of the BU
academic incest system, are still
running things.
I roomed across the hall from
one of them - Stan Rakowsky. I
never knew him to tolerate diversity or encourage a question. The
constitution , without all those
amendments, would have been
just fine for him , thank you .
We were both English majors ,
but I always thought Teutonism
Second , many journalism programs have divorced themselves
from the campus press. As a
result , students interested in journalism have to find the campus
newspaper on their own and , if
ihey do become staff members ,
often find little or no professional
direction to help them develop.
Third , although there are a
would have been a better choice
for Stanley . I remember him
praising the segregationist George
Wallace ("What 's the matter with
telling the people what they want
to hear?") and also Harvey Andruss and Boyd Buckingham.
Now he criticizes Jim Percey
and the "rowdiness" of the Mock
Conventions? (I always thought
they were pretty sedate affairs
compared to the real thing.)
We have an anti-intellectual ,
academically mediocre ex-student
(check the records!) who
becomes a trustee because he is
a sycophant. Here 's a sample:
There was once a man named Harvey,

day : student rights , civil ri ghts ,
the war, but that your attitude was
so smug, patronizing and condescending . You actually thought
the passage of time would turn
me into you.
Oatmeal is not an evolutionary
inevitability .
During most of my stay at
Bloomsburg, Richard Nixon was
President (and Stan Rakowsky
was his great local supporter) .
Nixon 's administration was like
the BSC administration. You
guys dressed alike; you acted
alike ; you loathed us. You were
suspicious of the same things

short hair) .
(sic!)
And so together their hands they dealt.

In retrospect , BSC wasn 't all
bad . We tried to explore a few
ideas so that we'd have something
to tuck into our knapsacks whe'
we left school. It provided tl:. i

force which required us to think

and insecure .
It 's not only that you were

I 11 bet you guys even talked
alike - off the record I mean.
When Nixon lied , connived and

were , for the first time , "disillusioned. " They could not believe
a President of anything, much
less the U.S.A. could do that .

They could not believe their

and pulled the tri gger.
Everyone thoug ht Dwyer had
called a news conference to
resi gn. His press secretary, Duke
Horshock , had called reporters
Wednesday,
hinting
that
something was up.
The unsaid message f rom Horshock was that Dwyer , was
resigning, a day before he was to
be sentenced in Williamsport ,
Pa., for conspiring to accept
bribes in exchange for granting a
$4.6 million no-bid contract to
Computer Technology Associates
of Orange , Calif.
He was the hi g hest-ranking
Pennsy lvania official ever convicted of corruption. The Pennsylvania Constitution requires a
convicted official to resign upon
sentencing.
But Dwyer had no intension of
stepping down. The gut feeling ,
something you j u s t can ' t
describe , had been right.
Dwyer had been reading fro m
a 19-page statement for 21
minutes when several of the
television photographers began to
move about his dark-paneled office. He thought they were get-
ting ready to leave.
"Those of you who are putting
your cameras away , you ought to
sf,ay. we aren 't finished yet , "
Dwyer said , in a voice that , now
thinking back , seemed to get
calmer and calmer.
Just a few minutes later , at
about 11 a.m., Dwyer called
three of his top aides to the front
of the room. They looked uncomforable as they stepped between
the cameras and stood before
him. He gave each an officiallooking white envelope.
Dwyer , then said "well , this ,"
and picked up a large manila
envelope from the table in front
of him. He stuck his hand inside
and slowly pulled a bluishcolored revolver out. It seemed
like the barrel was two feet long.
It looked just like the gun Clint
Eastwood used so often and so
brutally in his Dirty Harry
movies.
Dwyer began to lift his arm.
That 's the last I saw of him , as
I stood in the back of the room ,
near the door , and just behind a
from
reporter
television
Pittsburg h.
Some sort of instinct , maybe it
was raw panic , took over at that
point. I was no longer the cool ,
calm reporter covering a story .
Rushing past the peop le in the
doorway , I ran throug h the tiny
anterroom and into the hallway,
yelling for the police.
"He 's got a gun. He 's got a
gun. Someone get the police," is
about all I remember yelling at
that point. The hallway was nearly empty . Someone looked at me
like I was some sort of nut.
Choice of showing
suicide difficult
by Kevin Goldman
L.A. Times-Washington News Service
The suicide of Pennsy lvania
State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer
during a news conference Thursday with television cameras rolling presented broadcast news executives with a choice between
caution and controversy : whether
or not to air the grisly footage of
a politician shooting himself in
the mouth .
Officials at the four major networks , including the Cable News
Network , said that the decision
was easy ; no national newscast
would
broadcast
the
videotape, "he's not going to kill
himself on my air ," said Steve
Wasserman , news director of
WCBS in New York.
Mark Monski , news director
for WNBC of New York , said
that the NBC-owned station
would freeze-frame the footage at
the point Dwyer holds the gun to
his mouth . "It 's a legitimate story
in this era when public officials
are under such close scrutiny, "
Monsky said.
At least one station in Harrisburg , Pa., where the incident
occured , showed the entire sequence , including Dwyer raising
the gun to his mouth and , despite
loud pleas from reporters , pulling the trigger, "we're in the
news business, and we are in the
business of presenting it as quickly and accurately as possible ,"
said John Crossete , producer of
the 6 p.m. newscast on WHTM ,
an ABC affliate.
Other Harrisburg stations aired
footage up to the moment the shot
was fired. The stations said that
they received hundreds of complaints. Crossete said that the majority of complaints at his station
mentioned that the station did not
provide enough warning of how
graphic the footage was.
For television news, the story
presented what Tom Bettag , executive producer of the "CBS
Evening News With Dan
Rather ," described as a "thorny
issue. " Television repeatedly used compelling footage of the
Challenger disaster as well as the
attempted assassination of President Reagan.
But William Lord , executive
producer of "ABC World News
Tonight With Peter Jennings , "
said ,"Dwyer was not a national
figure. In Pennsylvania , it 's a major story ."
"We obviously had a lot of
soul searching," said Matt Silverman , producer of the 6p.m.
newscast on WGAL, the NBC affiliate in Harrisburg . "We aired
the moment up to the shot , then
froze the pictu re and let the audio
run where you hear the gun go
off. "

members are urged to pursue educational and
employment opportunities at Bloomsburg

Then, from the end of the hall ,
I heard a chorus of screams, and
a sound that was like a dull crack
or a muffled firecracker , onl y I
knew what it was. Then there
were no more screams .
"Get an ambulance . "
"Police. Police. "
Three reporters ran from the
room , yelling, but at the same
time heading for the nearest
p hone to get the story out.
People then began spewing
from the room. One television
cameraman came out , carrying
his equipment , and gagg ing.
Treasury Department workers ,
hearing the commotion , ventured
into the hallway to see what was
going on. Within a few minutes ,
the hallway was filled with stunned workers, reporters, and police.
One police officer , carry ing a
first aid kit , rushed past and went
into the room.
As for me, I walked down the
hall , turned the corner and leaned against the wall. I prayed for
Dwyer , his wife and children.
Then I cried.

Pro-lifers gather on the streets of Bloomsburg in a recent demonstration against abortion. (Voice photo
by Imtiaz AH Taj)
Abortion conflict
ings are being killed . The battle
will go on until it is resolved in
favor of human beings ."
Responding to Reagan on the
telephone , Gray reminded the
president that he had not acted on
her request last year to appoint a
special White House aide to consult with her on anti-abortion
leg islation. Also, she challenged
Reagan to veto legislation appropriating federal funds for an
estimated 10,000 abortions a year
in the District of Columbia.
"Nellie , I'll get on it ri ght
away to see what can be done ,"
the president replied .
After Reagan 's brief address ,
the protesters began mushing
down Pennsy lvania Avenue
toward the Supreme Court . U.S.
Park Police estimated the crowd
at about 6,000, down from the
37,000 a year ago largely because
of the weather. However , last
year ' s fi gure had dropped
drasticall y from 1985 , when
71 ,000 abortion opponents
marched.
At the court building, police
standing in a line at the top of its
steps told the marchers that
federal law bans demonstrations
on the grounds. But some of the
marchers defied the police warnings , and at least 20 were
arrested.
Desp ite their diminished
numbers , those who partici pated
in the march and several other activities during the day and ni ght
said the effort was worthwhile.
Lillie Gaskins , an employee of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission , wearing a heavy coat and a
cheery smile , said she was spending part of her snow-imposed
holiday at the rally because it was
"a good cause. "
Agnes Connell , a volunteer
from Whiting, N.J., said: "The
babies are suffering a great deal
more than we are in the snow.
We are willing to do this to impress our congressmen. "
Nevertheless , the smaller
numbers of anti-abortion protesters , along with several victories at the ballot box and in
Congress , have heartened supporters of the ri g ht to abortions.
They estimated that a march of
their own drew 125,000 last
March.
During a news conference at
the National Press Club before
the march , representatives of five
pro-choice groups noted that a
constitutional amendment outlawing abortion had been rejected ,
that anti-abortion referenda were
rejected in four states and that
several senators who openly opposed abortions failed to win
re-election.
"Over and over again , the
voters have delivered a clear
message," said Kate Michelman ,
executive director of the National
Abortion Ri ghts Action League.
"No to extremism, no to government interference in personal
decisions , and yes to the right to
an abortion for all women. "
The annual clash over the issue
signaled the beginning of the annual battle in Congress over
legislation governing abortions.
This year , it is expected to
center on two points: whether the
Supreme Court decision failed to
recognize the "humanity " of
fetuses and whether to restore
federal funding of abortions for
poor women.

'Platoon' brings the real Vietnam to the big screen
by Jack Mathews
L.A. Times Service
People arc lining up all over
America to hurt themselves. "They
are standing in lines that run
around the block , often in subzero temperatu res, waiting for the
opportunity to pay from $4 to $6
to see a movie that may be more
violent , more fri ghtening and
more depressing than anything
they have ever seen before .
For some, a frag ile minority
who view the movie a a personal
flashback , it is a return to the
abyss.
The movie is "Platoon. " com-
bat veteran and Oscar winning
screenwriter Oliver Stone 's
grunt 's-eyes view of the war in
Vietnam , and it-not "Crocodile
Dundee "-is one of the most surprising box-office smashes to
grace a studio 's ledger in this
decade.
With a mighty push from the
media , whose critics have formed a national choru s to sing its
praises and whose editors have
given over massive amounts of
time and space to assessing it ,
"Platoon " has become the movie
of the moment.
Orion
Pictures ,
whose
marketing people conceived a
crafty campaign to establish
"Platoon " as the "firs t real
movie about the Vietnam War ,"
has been rewarded with a
breakthrough hit that also figures
as the 1986 movie to beat in the
coming Academy Awards
contest.
Orion , ignoring the conventional Hollywood wisdom that
says you do not release downbeat
movies during the holiday s, opened "Platoon " December 19 in six
theaters in Los Angeles, New
York and Toronto . The opening
was scheduled to qualif y the
movie for Oscars and to give
America ' s most p r o m i n e n t
critics , winding down from a year
of hi gh-calorie comedies and
action-adventures , something
nutritous to chew on.
By January 16, it was playing
on 174 screens in 25 cities. After
17 days , "Platoon " had earned
$11.1 million , probabl y enoug h ,
measured against its $6 million
bud get , to have already put it in
the black.
The demographics of audiences
for "Platoon " have begun to
shift . Critics and commentators ,
fired up by the thoug ht that "Platoon ' s" inherent a n t i - w a r
message irray neutralize some of
the romanticized notions of Ram-
bomania , have been touting this
graphically violent, drug-laced Rrated feature as a family movieat least for families with teen-age
children , and families are beg inning to go.
In talking with theater
operators around the United
States , it is clear that the movie
is too hard to handle for many
people. Rick Randol ph , manager
of the Lefonte Tara theater in
Atlanta , himself a Vietnam vet ,
said that a lot of women end up
in the lobby long before the
movie is over , and on one occasion he saw a womana hel p ing
her husband , who was shaking
Squealer 's Corner
uncontrollably, out of the theater.
"Some people just can 't take
it," Randolph said. "It brings
back memories...! don 't think
vets should see it. "
Theater owners said that audiences are usually quiet
throug hout the show , and leave
in a state of numbed silence. But
there have been sporadic outbursts of cheering during scenes
when American soldiers coldbloodedly kill a couple of Vietnamese villagers .
During a screening in San
Francisco, laughter during one of
those scenes stirred a vet to yell
out , "That 's not funny , you
weren 't there!"

For those of you who may have
missed last week's film presentation of Tlie Blues Brothers, let
me give you a brief synopsis of
what it was like .
Even those people who have
never seen it , probably know that
it is an all-star cast featuring Dan
Akroyd and the late John Belushi ,
who play the two most renowned Blues Brothers , Jake and
El wood Blues.
Jake and Elwood initially are in
jail for tax fraud. When they are
released from prison , they set out
to garner the members of their old
band. In their quest to revive the
band , Jake and Elwood travel to
the their friends various job locations. Unsurprisingly, none of the
Blues Brothers have normal jobs

BAHAMAS
we were greeted by a group of
gentlemen whose obvious purpose was to extract the liver and
various other vital organs from
anyone who even looked like
L.C.B. After flashing our I.D. 's
and donating to the furtherance of
their education , we were
admitted .
The party wasn't quite as unruly as expected. The beer was
flowing like... beer , and I felt
more at ease when I'd had a few.
An hour or so passed before I
spotted the agent.
He was disguised well but their
were some noticeable flaws; neatly pressed creases in his jeans and
the Vitalis look in his hair. He
would also start drifting into middle class conversation . He'd start
off , 'Hey , this party is jump in "
and drift into 'So you see, an IRA
is actually a good tax shelter. '
After he entered the bathroom ,
I waited outside , nonchalantl y
sipping my beer. Finally , he exited , but I noticed another
g iveaway- his fly was zipped ,
something drunks notoriousl y
forget: I entered the bathroom
next. There was a distinct odor
of Vitalis that made me want to
stop breathing forever, when I
saw the little black book.
Ten minutes later , I was
reminded by a sofa crashing
throug h the door that others also
wished to use the bathroom. I
decided to let them.
Finding a lighted area, I read
the cover , 'The L.C.B. Guide to
College Slang, Attire, and Attitude: A Self-Help Book. ' The
book was full of absurd translations of slang , tips on party garb,
and what the author must have
deemed the political views of
every college student in the
or normal constituents , which
adds to the comedy.
In their pursuit to regroup, the
brothers cause ' mass pandamonium. In addition , they also
meet their brothers friends , a real
crowd stirring bunch , and turn an
ordinary evening into a giant song
and dance routine.
Finally, the band is reunited entirel y, and The Blues Brothers
Band play together at the Illinois
Grand Palace Hotel. From that
time on , they are viciously hunted
down by those on the receiving
end of their destructive antics.
Eventually, Jake and Elwood
wind up back in jail , but they
don 't care because their entire
band is there also , and they are
able to provide the entertainment
for their fellow inmates.
Of course , the film is a
comed y-but hilarious it wasn 't.
There was much unnecessary
violence and mass destruction ,
which made it hard to laugh and
enjoy the film. At one point, Jake
and Elwood drive their cars
through a crowded shopping
mall. In addition , about 50 cars
were crashed up in the stunts. To
me , and to a lot of people who
saw the film, that kind of humor
isn 't funny . The Blues Brothers
was , at times, also confusing .
There were at least 200 people
chasing them at the end , but none
of us were totally certain as to
why.
But afterall , it wasn 't meant to
be a theatrical masterpiece.
Rather , it was meant to be taken
lightly and for entertainment. One
thing that was outstanding about
the film was the good-time music
of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles,
and James Brown. Their scenes
also appeared to be the favorites
of the audience.

You see , the frosty air was afoul
that day and thick with tension ,
very thick... Alan Thicke.
For this particular weekend
there was a dark cloud hanging
over Bloomsburg , a festering sore
rotting at the flesh of the college.
Somewhere, waiting like rats for
the ni ght , were the most dreaded
and repulsive of all creature s
known to man... the L.C.B.
agents!!!
Oh yes , they were waiting for
ni ghtfall , and with the night their
chance to infiltrate and hopefully bust a college party and make
the streets once again safe from
underage college drunks, like me.
As for me , I hold my Saturday
evenings sacred and hol y, so
th rowing caution carelessly to the
wind I called up a few of my
closest friends and coaxed them
into risking it all with me.

This past Saturday, at Centennial Gym, Program Board hosted
a bedsheet volleyball game. A
bedsheet was hung from the
volleyball net, impairing each
team from seeing their opponents
and the ball!
The game was open to anyone
who wanted to participate, and
those who did had a great time.
Look for more wacky Program

months.

The Inside Cover
THIS .WEEK .AT
Erie's Dirty Looks strike it big
Ken Kirsch
Heavy metal is alive and well
in Northern Pennsy lvania. Erie 's
own Dirty Looks have hit the big
time with their third album , In
Your Face, on Selinsgrove-based
Sticky Records.
The album , along with their
previous two , has been released
in France , Germany, Austria ,
Spain , Sweden and Denmark ,
selling over 29,000 combined
units in these countries.
I can 't be sure , but my guess
would be that this number is probabl y proportional to the number
of those Europeans classified as
severel y mentall y disturbed
and/or braindead.
Though they boast record sales
abroad , their success here is, and
I' m being kind , minimal. The
band dropped off ten copies of In
Your Face at Record and
Jeanswear here in Bloom on October 1. As of January 21 , a
salesperson at the store reported ,
they had sold only two copies.
Uh-oh! Better call Sticky
Records and set up an interview
before Carson grabs these guys!
Lead vocalist/guitarist Henrik
Ostergaard , perhaps the most
convincing Bon Scott clone yet to
come along , blends basic blues
elements with traditional metal
screams on "Can 't take my eyes
off you ," and "Tokyo ," the first
single from the record .
But , as always, no clone is ever
perfect, and Ostergaard is no exception. He comes off sounding
more like Ozzy. Osbourne choking on razor blades than anything
resembling a singer. His voice
takes me back to my childhood
days when I used to throw shoes
at alley cats on the backyard
fence.
The biggest problem with this
album is that , although the production and overall management
seem to be top of the line , the
band , sadly, isn 't. My hat ' s off
to the guys out at TRS Audio and
Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA.
You ' ve got the right idea , now
find the right band , or should I
say a band .
Two Eries radio stations ,
WERG and WMCY , boast Dir-
ty Looks as being one of their top
ten requested acts, keeping good
company with such geniuses as
Black Sheep, TNT , and christian
metal rockers (eh?) Stryper.
Locally WHLM has also
agreed to promote Dirty Looks.
Personally , I could probably find
something much more constructive to do with my air time, like
replaying taped conversations
with Dr. Ruth or discussing foot
fashion with a local tube sock
manufacturer.
Don 't get me wrong, Dirty
Looks do have potential for AOR
p lay with the sing le "Tokyo. "
The song has all the traditional
metal guita r hooks and play-doh
melting screams of such forgettable classics as "Photograph ,"
and Kiss ' "Heaven 's on Fire ."
I get teary-eyed j ust thinking
about them.
The Voice would like to thank
WHLM 's Music Director , Eddie
Collins , for providing the promoinformation necessary to do this
review , as well as the copy of In
You r Face.
So * remember all you headbangers, the next time y ou 're
listening to Jen and Wen 's Friday
night 10-12 metal show, be sure
to request some Dirty Looks
music, or these poor underground
geniuses may never make it!

V A L U A B L E COUPON
This kind of worried me ,
'cause if this guy who owned the
book even half believed • the
author , he could be packing a gun
and have intentions of opening
fire on the crowd at will. After
all , he was a middle class
Republican , and we were a th reat
to his home, family , job , and
eventual retirement.
The situation was critical.
I decided at that point to leave
and convinced my cohorts to do
the same by flashing them the
L.C.B. book. In fact , it convinced them so well that they all made
mad dashes toward closets , windows, and one friend even at-

From the locker room
Freshmen eligibility recalled
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Fifteen years ago this month ,
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association decided to allow
freshmen to compete at the varsity level in bi g-time college football and basketball.
This move was opposed by
many coaches and most academicians. Mainl y due to the pressure
put on the athletes during that
crucial first year of college.
It 's tcugh enough to adjust to
the move from hi gh school to college without having to perform
ri ght away on the court or on the
field.
As is the case in most things
that the NCAA does , the move
was designed to generate more
revenue for the schools , by
eliminating freshmen teams and
squeezing an extra year of playing time out of the studentathletes.
This has produced some
outstanding players who were
able to just dominate the game
their first year in college, but the
ill-effects still leave a bitter taste
in my mouth.
The graduation rates of athletes
have dropped remarkably since
its conception in 1972. In the last
ten years, Doug Flutie (Boston
College) is the onl y Heisman
Trophy winner to graduate fro m
college.
Much to often we see incidents
of college athletes who skip out
on their senior years to go to the
professional level because they
have proven their worth in
college.
Obviously this isn 't the only
reason that they don 't graduate.
Many just don 't have the grades
or the credits needed to earn their
When a kid p lays football games before he
attends
a
class ,
something is wron g '
diploma.
If the NCAA is smart they will
listen to many outspoken
authorities on the subject that include the presidents of Maryland ,
North Carolina , North Carolina
State, University of California at
Los Angeles (UCLA), Miami
and Minnesota.
Each one of these schools submitted a resolution to the NCAA
advocating an end to freshmen
eligibility in (Division I-A football
and Division I Men 's basketball .
Also outspoken on the subject
is Penn State football coach Joe
Paterno. He is very much in favor
of returning to the former way of
things.
"When a kid p lays football
games before he attends a class ,
something is wrong , '* Paterno
has been quoted as say ing,
"We 've lost a generation and a
half of peop le who were potential lawyers, doctors, teachers and
what-have-you , because they
were all caught up in bouncing a
basketball or running with a football... We were supposed to be
educating those kids. Instead , we
conned them for 15 years and
then when they were throug h
play ing pro football or pro
basketball , they knew they 'd been
conned ; they knew they 'd been
had. "
Let 's stop the charade , college
athletics is supposed to be secondary to the education. It 's about
time someone reminded the
NCAA of that fact so that
possibly we may be able to turn
the clock back 15 years
In the process , they would be
taking college athletics one major step forward.

Wrestlers return from Oklahoma 'experience'
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg Universtiy

of the match honors despit moving up a weight class to replace
injured Rick Bonomo.
Rick had injured his knee in the
first period of his match with
Chip Park of Arizona State and
eventually lost the match 7-6.
The onl y blemish of the
weekend came in the first match
with ASU , as the Huskies lost a
close one 20-18. Dave Kennedy
earned wrestler of the match for
his p in of ASU' s Ken
McMinnon.
Coach Roger Sanders stated
that , "we outwrestled them but
we just couldn 't buy a break.
Ricky (Bonomo) got hurt , then
Mark Banks lost some points that
he maybe should have had in his
match , it was a shame we lost. "
Overall Coach Sanders was
happy with the:' performance , the
trip and the weekend.
"Dave Morgan and Dave Kennedy both had great weekends.

Huskies' career marks including ;
most passing attempts (697), most
completions (332), most offensive plays (875). He is also just
shy of other records including ;

Off the Bloomsburg knocks off Cheyney twice
V.
Bench
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor
Everyone knows that part of
President Reagan 's job is to
maintain his popularity level
with the general population of
America. This includes
speeches , guest appearances ,
banquets , and the such.
Most everyone accepts this
and is happy that there is an interest by the President in things
other than politics.
Almost everyone can recall
back in the early 1970' s that
President Nixon , being a
tremendous football fan , began
the tradition of involving
himself in major sports affairs .
Mr. Nixon set the precedent
of phoning the locker rooms
after the championshi p games
and the Super Bowl to personally congatulate the winning team.
This was pretty much accepted by everyone. It seemed like a nice , finishing touch
afte r a long winning season ,
and broug ht up the popularity
level of Mr. Nixon.
Since then , other presidents
have followed and expanded
this precedent to include other
sports , such as the World
Series.
Unfortunately, as with other
good deeds , t h i n g s can
sometimes be overdone.
The problem of the matte r
has been the current president
who has expanded the tradition
so much that some people are
beginning to get sick of seeing
his face everytime there is a
major sports event.
This is evidenced by CBS
television 's recent decision this
past week NOT to air the
President 's telephone call to
the winning locker room.
Not only does President
Reagan appear with or phone
teams in post-season baseball ,
the halftime show of the Fiesta
Bowl , the beginning of the
Richmond 500, but he also
gives a little speech that
somehow always tells the story
of how he almost became a
sports broadcaster.
This is all very nice , Mr.
Reagan , but isn 't there
anything else you can
discuss?? But I guess we can
all be grateful he also doesn 't
do the play-by-play announcing for a couple of minutes.
Think of what would happen
to the Nielson ratings!!
Still , a lot of people can accept all of his appearances. My
only question is why must he
then invite the winning team,
and sometimes even the losing
team , to visit the White
House?
To give an example, here is
a partial list of teams that hav e
visited his home-away-fromhome iri Washington D.C.:
The New York Mets , the
Boston Red Sox , the Boston
Celtics , the Los Angeles
Lakers, the Chicago Bears, the
Villanova and Georgetown
University basketball teams,
and the Kansas City Royals.
Even now , plans are in the
works to have the national
champion Penn . State football
team visit Reagan.
My whole point is that Mr.
Reagan should pay a little
more attention to Contra arms
scandals and trillion dollar
budgets .
It 's nice that he wants to be
involved in some way with
sports , but I think he should
cut down a little bit.
I mean, wouldn 't it be horrible if he called up Churchill
Downs in May and spoke on
national television to the winning horse of the Kentucky
Derby??

The Cheyney Wolves shot 0-7
from three point land in the first
half while the Huskies shot an
amazing 7-10 from beyond the 19
feet 9 inches marker , including
four in a row in one stretch , to
take a 54-28 lead at halftime and
a 95-72 victory from the Wolves.
The Bloomburg win is the first
over one of last year 's NCAA
"Final Four " in the Division II
playoffs since February 2 , 1984 .
The win places Bloomsburg
(5-2 PSAC East , 9-8 overall) in
second place of the PSAC East ,
while Cheyney (4-3 PSAC East ,
11-4 overall) drops to third in the
PSAC East.
The game began slowly with
the score onl y 2-2 after 3:24 had
gone by in the game due to turnovers and tough defense by both
clubs.
However with 12:56 left in the
first half , Bloomsburg 's junior
guard Joe Stepanski launched an
apparent three-point shot to put
the Huskies on top 10-8.
The referees ruled , in a questionable decision , to award
Stepanski only two points. This
controversial call seemed to ignite the Huskies as they went on
a 17-2 tear , including four three
pointers in a row , to take a 25-12
lead.
Cheyney called time out as the
partisan crowd roared with
approval .
After the time out , Bloomsburg
went on another strong run of
13-6 topped off by a technical
foul called on Cheyney coach
Charles Songster with 5:28 to go
in the first half.
Huskies then scored on the
possesion to put the game away ..
Cheyney 's Clarence Green , the
PSAC's top scorer , was held to
onl y eight points in the first half.
In the second half , the Huskies
made sure Cheyney had no ideas
of a comeback as Alex Nelcha
and Matt Wilson dominated the
inside.
Bloomsburg built leads of as
much as 32 points until Cheyney
put on a small flurry at the end
to make the final score 95-72.
Nelcha , a 6-6 sophomore from
Venezuela scored 18 points and
had seven rebounds. On
evaluating Saturday ' s game ,
Nelcha said ,"My coach prepared
me to play today...! wasn 't playing good , so he (Chronister) talked to me , and we practiced
hard . ''
Nelcha was one of five Huskies
in double figures which Bloomburg has now done in three
straight games.
Other Huskies in double
fi gures were Bill Connelly with
18 points , Joe Stepanski with a
team high of 21 points , Mike
Simpkins with 13 points , and
John Williams with 10.
Cheyney 's Clarence Green led
the Wolves with his game high of
26 points.
The Huskies now go on the
road to play York (PA) toni ght
and then return home this Saturday to host PSAC rival
Shippensburg .

Giants win Super Bowl 39-20
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor
As I sat down to watch this
football game with my friends
Steve , Tom , Bilsk , John , and
Jim , my stomach was kind of
uneasy because of my expectations of a close and hard-fought
game.
Through the first half , my fears
were being realized as Denver
held on to a slim 10-9. But then ,
the true Gaints emerged and completel y shut down the Bronco offense to record a 39-20 win and
the right to be world champions.
The game started off in the
Broncos ' favor as they won the
coin toss and elected to receive.
Raul Allegre 's kick-off was
was run back to the Giants ' 23
where John Elway took over. He
quickl y led Denver downfield
hi ghli ghted by a third and ei ght
pass to Mark Jackson for 30
yards.
A few plays later , Rich Karlis
booted a 48-yard field goal to
give the Broncos a 3-0 lead .
The Giants came right back as
Phil Simms came through on two
crucial th ird down situations with
passes to Stacy Robinson and
Mark Bavaro to place them on the
six-yard line. From there, he
completed a short pass to Zeke
Mo watt for a 7-3 New York lead.
The Broncos refused to be intimidated as they responded with
a combination of short passes and
runs to bring them down to the
Giants ' 36-yard line.
There , on a run by Sammy
Winder , the Giants were hit by a
costly double-penalty that placed
the ball on their own six giving
Denver first-and-goal. Three
plays later , John Elway ran four
yard s on a quarterback sneak to
give the Broncos a 10-7 lead .
With all the momentum on
Denver 's side , the Giants ' next
offensive series was quickly stuffed on three plays giving Denver
back the ball on a punt in relative-
ly good field position.
John Elway came throug h
again on a crucial third and 12
situation with a 54-yard bomb to
Vance Johnson giving them firstand-goal on the two. Unfortunateley , they couldn 't capitalize
and were forced to settle for what
most thought would be an easy
23-yard field goal.
Somebody, though , forgot to
tell Rich Karlis it was an easy
kick , and he missed it giving the
Giants back the ball along with a
massive break.
Short passes by Simms to
Robinson and Bavaro along with
runs by Joe Morris had die fans
on their feet , but the Denver
defense rose to the occasion and
once again forced a New York
punt.
This time it was Denver who
couldn 't get their offense in gear
as they were forced into a third
and 12 situation. The Giant
defense was not to be denied
again as George Martin forced
Elway out of the pocket and sacked him in the endzone for a safety to make the score 10-9.
After the Giants couldn 't make
any yardage out the free kick and
punted , Elway once again led
Denver downfield for another
field goal attempt.
And once again , Karlis missed an easy one , this time shanking it from 34 yards out.
From there , the Giants simpl y
ran out the clock until halftime.
The real Giants came out after
halftime and showed Denver exactly how good a team they are.
Receiving the kickoff , they
drove downfield to the fifty ,
where faced with fourth and short
yardage , they ran a fake punt to
pick up the first down.
Several nice runs and receptions by Morris brought the
Giants down to first and 10 at the
17. Two plays later , Simms was
on the mark with a 14-yard
touchdowm pass to Bavaro and a
16-10 lead .
It was a lead the Giants would
never relinquish.
After Denver was stopped in
three plays and punted , New
York opened up on the Denver 36
thanks to a 17-yard return by Phil
McConkey .
Morris ' running and a key first
down pass to Lionel Manual gave
the Giants the ball on the Denver
12. From there , they had to settle for an Allegre field goal and
a 19-10 lead .
Once again , Denver was forced to punt after three plays and
New York set up shop on their
own 32. A pass to Manual
brought the ball out to the fi fty .
There , Simms put on a show ,
with a flea-flicker that resulted in
a 48-yard bomb to McConkey
and a first down at the two. On
the next play , Morris ran the ball
in for a touchdown thanks to a
beautiful block by guard , Chris
Godfrey , putting the score at
26-10.
Denver opened up the fourth
quarter at their own twenty . A
sack by Leonard Marshall combined with a false start penalty
pushed the ball back to the four
making it second and 27.
Elway , forced out of the pocket
and under severe pressure , let go
a bad pass that was picked off by
Elvis Patterson giving New York
the ball on their own 47.
Simms , on fire throughout the
game, fired long to Robinson to
the 16. Two plays later , defensive
interference was called on Louis
Wri ght giving New York the ball
first-and-goal on the one.
Two play s later , Simms fi red
to Bavaro in the endzone where
the the ball was tipped and caught
on a sensational play by
McConkey . This boosted the
score up to 33-10.
Denver finally got its offense
in gear driving from their own 15
down deep into Giant territiory .
But once again they were stopped
and were forced to settle for a
field goal by Karlis .
The Broncos attempted an onsides kick , but were unsuccessful
and New York took over on the
Denver 45-yard line. A long run
on a quarterback sneak by Simms
brought the ball to the Denver
two. There , Ottis Anderson
quickly punched the ball in for a
39-13 New York lead . Raul
Allegre missed the extra point.

Staff Writer
With a surprising upset of
previously unbeaten and number
one ranked Iowa to Big Ten rival
Ohio State there will be a new
number one team , the best team
in the country , the North Carolina
Tarheels.
The boys from Chapel Hill
should have no trouble holding on
to the numbe one position the rest
of the season.
There were only three major
college teams that were unbeaten
going into the weekends play,
Iowa , DePaul and Clemson.
All these teams suffered defeats
A Division I Cheyney team invaded Nelson Fieldhouse Saturday and was soundly defeated
68-55 by a hot shooting
Bloomsburg team.
Sophomore Theresa Lorenzi
led the Huskies (13-4) with 28
points as she shot 13 for 20 fro m
the field and connected on two of
three free th rows.
The Cheyney Wolves (0-14)
were led by freshmen Tina
Brooks who netted 23. She
received support from freshmen
teammate Stareatha Hopkins who
canned 17 and pulled down a
game high 11 rebounds.
The Huskies came out an fire
shooting 61.5 percent in the first
half to Cheyney 's 35.3 percent
and staked themselves to a 33-24
halftime lead.
Remarkably, only two free
throws were shot in the entire first
half , Cheyney missed theirs and
Pam Bressi nailed one for the
Huskies.
In the second half the Wolves
continued to suffer shooting woes
(34.7 percent) while the Huskies
likewise returned to earth with
their shooting percentage (48
percent) .
The well balance Husky offense saw four players in double
figures. Besides Lorenzi's 28,
Pam Bressi nailed 10, as did
senior Linda King and junior
Amy Wolf.
Carla Shearer used excellent
foul shooting (5-6) to end with
nine before being taken out after
she injured her wrist.
First year head coach Joe
Bressi was happy with the way
his team came out after its loss to
West Chester last week.
"I think the best part about it
(the win) was that we lost and rebounded back and won this game.
We are a pretty good team at
home and I think that 's a big plus
for us right there."
"To be 13-4 right now , to me
is unbelievable. If anybody asked me how we'd be after 16 or
17 games, I'd have been happy
to be .500, but we're progressing well right now and starting to
do a lot of good things , we're
playing good steady basketball. "
HOOP SCOOPS :
This was the first victory for the
Huskies over the Wolves in the
history of the two clubs...Amy
Wolf blocked eleven shots while
handing out two assists and
garnering nine rebounds...Carla
Shearer led the team with three

Mclntyre
drops suit
against
university
by Scott Davis
News Editor
by Tom Sink
Staff Writer
A Bloomsburg University
freshman who was seeking a
federal court injunction to set
aside his spring 1987 suspension
has dropped the lawsuit with
which he hoped to be reinstated.
Matthew P. Mclntyre , 18, of
Gettysburg , after considering the
cost and time of seeking the
restraint , dropped the federal
lawsuit.
"It was too late into the
semester to do anything, " Mclntyre said , adding that if he pursued and received the restraint , it
would be difficult for him to catch
up on his school work .
Mclntyre 's attorney Mark A.
Lemon said after talking with
Mclntyre and his father , they
agreed to withdraw the lawsuit.
"We (Lemon and BU' s
defense attorney Gregory
Neuhauser) agreed to dismiss the
injunction prior to the hearing ,"
Lemon said.
According to the PressEnterprise , Mclntyre and Robert
Partlow , another BU freshman
suspended for his involvement
with Mclntyre in the Oct. 31 vandalism of a number of tombstones
at the Old Rosemont Cemetery,
are scheduled to appear in Columbia County Court on Feb. 4
for arraignment on charges of
criminal mischief , public
drunkenness and underage
drinking.
Partlow was not involved in
Mclntyre 's federal lawsuit.
Abortion
conflict
continues
by Lee May
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
Thousands of anti-abortion activists braved snow and cold
Thursday to stage a march on the
14th anniversary of the legalization of abortions, as supporters of
abortion rights countered that
public op inion is on their side.
The two sides , in what has
become an annual battle for attention from Congress and the
public , remained as adamantly
opposed as they have been since
1973, when the Supreme Court
declared abortions legal in a landmark decision know as Roe vs.
Wade.
And , as in the past , President
Reagan , through a telephone
hookup from the White House,
offered support to the abortion
foes , who shivered at a noontime
rally on the snow-covered Ellipse
nearby .
"We shall overcome bitterness
to reach a greater respect for
human life, " he said. "Together ,
we can overturn Roe vs. Wade
and end this national tregedy ."
In an interview , Nellie Gray,
leader of the anti-abortion march ,
also took up a civil rights theme,
likening herself to abolitionists
and to those who spoke out
against the Holocaust.
Gray said abortion , "is the
same kind of issue as slavery and
segregation. Innocent human beset ABORTION page 3

Snowstorm cripples campus
as university shuts down
by Scott Davis
News Editor
A snow storm labeled "The
Blizzard of '87" hammered the
East Coast last Thursday , dumping snow from 17 inches to 20
inches
in
and
around
Bloomsburg.
The storm resulted in the closing of Thursday 's classes fro m
12:30 p.m. on. As the storm continued into the evening, BU President Harry Ausprich decided to
close the campus all day Friday .
The decision to close was
only made twice in the last fifty
years.
Many students who had hopes
of going home for the weekend
found themselves stuck on campus because of the hazzardous
road conditions.
John Oswald , a freshman , was
supposed to leave for his
hometown of Port Carbon on
Thursday .
' 'My family feels the roads are
too dangerous to travel on , so
here I am ,' Oswald commented
as the snow continued falling
Friday .
The deep snow was made even
worse with a deep freeze during
the weekend. Saturday the
temperature fell to 9 degrees and
the wind chill pulled the
temperature well below zero .
Sunday the temperature was
registering at 8 degrees with
predictions of a high at only 17
degrees .
Although the storm created
headaches for most , some BU
students found ways to enjoy the
snow.
Skiers waxed up their skis.
Some skiers dared a ski jump they
formed between the Kehr Union
and Montour Hall.
Other students took to sledding
down the hill behind the Ben
Franklin Building. They seemed
to ride anything that would slide.
One group used small sleds while
others used garbage bags. Some
even used food trays.
The biggest events were the
snowball fights , usuall y beginning with a small group and ending
in an all-out war. The campus
police have asked students to
restrict the snowball fi ghts to the
area between North Hall and
Luzerne Hall because of the lack
of windows behind the two opposing sides.
The cold did not stop students
fro m going to parties. Students
who plan to attend parties in the
extreme cold should be aware of
the fact alcohol gives the body a
false feeling of warmth. This feeling can result in what is know as
"the silent death ."
"The silent death" is hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when
the blood in your body actually
begins to form ice crystals. The
false warm feeling received while
drinking can keep an individual
from realizing how cold his body
really is and makes hypothermia
even more dangerous. He thinks
he is warm when he is actuall y
freezing to death .
Pennsylvania State Treasurer
R. Budd Dwyer called a press
conference last Thursday for
what reporters thought would be
his announcement of resignation .
Instead , they covered his suicide.
Dwyer , who faced imprisonment for defrauding the state ,
began the press conference by
reading a 19-page statement inwhich he maintained that he was
innocent.
He then proceeded to pass out
envelopes to three of his top
aides. The envelopes were later
found to contain organ donor
cards and funeral arrangements .
After passing out the
envelopes , Dwyer reached into a
large manila envelope and pulled out a .357 magnum hand gun
and , in front of photograp hers ,
reporters and staff, placed the gun
in his mouth...then pulled the
trigger.
Dwyer was taken from the conference room in his Harrisburg
office to Harrisburg Hospital
where he was declared dead .
According to an Associated
Press story , Dwyer ,47 , was convicted in December of awarding

The chairman of Bloomsburg
University 's History department
presented a dinner lecture Tuesday dealing with the Nuclear
Arms Race.
Professor George Turner 's lecture covered the basics of the
complex Nuclear Arms issue. His
lecture began with a brief history
of the Arms Race, which was
born shortly after World War II
and the bombing of Hiroshima.
Professor Turner explained the
stages of the Arms Race development beginning with propeller
bombers , going to intercontinental- ballistic missiles, and concluding with today 's counterforce
systems.
Another point of concentration
was on the models and numbers
of nuclear weapons the U.S. and
U.S.S.R. posses , and their
destructive capabilities. Out of
the 55,000 nuclear weapons existing today , only 10,000 are
needed to destroy all the world's
major cities and cause tremendous devastation.
To finish , Professor Turner
predicted the results of a Nuclear
War. Included were a Nuclear
Winter and extensive fires that
would send enough smoke into
the atmosphere to block out thef
sun and result in extreme climactic changes .
Proceeding the lecture was a
brief question and answer session
in which many of the students
spoke about their fears of where
the Nuclear Arms Race will be in
the futu re .
Nearly everyone shared two
common concerns. One was how
their personal lives would be affected by the nuclear issue, and
what kind of world would their
children have.
Second was a concern that dealt
with the misallocations of
resources to build nuclear
weapons.

Blood Service Coordinator
Mary Ann Stasik said she hopes
the one-day drive at BU will
boost the sagging blood supply.
"The blood supp lies are
critically low ," Stasik said.
"More blood is going out than
what is coming in. "
The series , sponsored by the
Protestant Campus Ministry, will
continue with a Star Wars lecture
on Tuesday February 3, and a
lecture about the Arms Race and
the Church on February 10. The
lectures will be given in the Pennsylvania Room of the Scranton
Commons. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to attend .
First meeting Tuesday
SAC offers involvement in BU
The Student Alumni Council
offers students an opportunity to
serve the university and the
Alumni Association , while learning about an exciting career area
virtually unknown to most college
students.
The organizational meeting
will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday January 27, in the Green
Room of the Kehr Union.
The most important project of
SAC is planning and staging the
"Senior Send-Off Picnic " in
April at the Festemaker Alumni
House on Lightstreet Road . Over
250 seniors attended the first picnic last year. SAC hopes the pic-
nic will become a tradition at BU.
Another activity that SAC will
sponsor is the "Alumni-Student
Mixer " on the day before
homecoming in October. This
event brings alumni back to campus a day early to share career experiences will current BU
students.
Being a part of SAC also gives
students a chance to explore an
exciting career area that many
students do not know about unless
they stumble on it by chance, according to Doug Hippenstiel ,
Director of Alumni Affairs.
Known to most of todays campuses as "institutional or univer-

Stasik said 50 percent of the
blood drives in the area are coming up 30 pints short of their
goals.
"I' m not sure to the reason
why there is a reduction of
donors ," Stasik said.
Stasik believes the fear of
AIDS may be responsible for the
reduction of donors , but points
out that donors cannot receive
AIDS from giving blood .
Stasik said BU blood drives in
the past were successful , but there
has been a decline in donors in recent drives.
"In November of 1985 the
bloodmobile collected 749 units
of blood from BU , and in January
of 1986 , 420 pints were given in
a one-day drive ," Stasik added.
Stasik stated that BU gave only 595 pints of blood in Nov. of
1986, 75 pints short of its 670
unit goal.
We have the support , we need
the donors ," Stasik said , adding
that many BU fraternities ,
sororities and organizations hel p
out tremendously with the set-up
of the bloodmobiles.

Explaining the open letter
This is not so much an
editorial as it is an explanation.
On this page, there is a letter
entitled , "An open letter to
Boyd Buckingham." It is a letter writte n by a former student ,
now college professor, to a
former administrator of this
university, back when BU was
Bloomsburg State College.
The main reason for running
the letter is that it reflects a large
number of today 's problems not
onl y at BU , but across the
country.
It was interesting to note ,
reading the lette r, the parallels
between what was happening
then and now. It seems as
thoug h the administrations of
not onl y the unive rsity, but this
country, have become conser-
vative again to the point of no
return.
Around the time that Bill
Sanders, the author of the letter ,
was
enrolled
at
Bloomsburg, freedom was not
had by the student press.
The Maroon and Gold , the
predecessor of The Voice, was
simply a rah-rah paper. It functioned , more or less, as the administration 's own publicity
organ. The campus, almost as
an entity, suffered from a severe
case of political bronchitis.
One day, Lyle Slack , a
reporter for the paper, came to
his editor with a story. The
story was critical of the administration of BSC.
The editor refused to run the
story. The Maroon and Gold
was effectively censored.
The reporter then quit the
paper and started his own , The
Gadfly. This paper was critical
of not onl y the BSC administration , but also attacked the state
and federal administrations as
well.
Editor:
I' m writing this letter because
of some problems I've noticed on
campus with the snow. I know
' maintenance cannot be expected
to be on-duty twenty four hours
a day , but something has to be
done to remove snow fro m the
walkways in a more efficient
manner. A recent incident will
hel p clarify this.
On Tuesday , following a large
snowfall , I was hel ping Vernon
Rochester (who requires a
wheelchair) to his car , which is
parked in the handicapped parking space between Montour and
North Hall. The sidewalk was
clean coming out of the doors of
Luzerne facing North Hall , but
when we reached the roadway
between the the buildings , there
was snow and ice on the road .
We couldn 't take the sidewalk
because it was full of students
who also wanted to avoid the
snow. Well , I tried to take Vernon down the road forward , but
his wheelchair sank in the snow.
When we finally reached the bottom , his car was snowed in
because of snowplows and the
traffic .
Vernon had to wait in the roadway as I attempted to get his car
out. I could not because of the
ice , so we decided to push him
to class. The route to class was
an obstacle course. There were
clean spots , but for every one we
encountered , we faced two spots
with either snow , ice or slush.
Going to class , for the
ph ysically handicapped , is very
hard without the snow. The snow
makes it twice as bad and nearly
impossible. I've seen a few
students brave the snow on crutches and nearl y fall in their attempt to get to class. What would
happen if someone was seriously injured and sued the
university ?
I think this problem could be
alleviated if the snow was removed early and completely. The
sidewalks should be cleaned
down to the surface , an inch
should not be allowed to remain
and turn to ice. I think it is our
business to inform the university
about this problem , because our
money hel ps to pay maintenance.
'¦ I think the snow should be
cleaned around the handicapped
parking spaces because someone
in the wheelchair cannot possibly
be expected to cross the snow to
get to their car or even to the
sidewalk once they pull in and
park.
To everyone involved with the
snow removal , I apologize if you
do your best to clean the
walkways , but to the rest , how
would you like to be in a
wheelchair and be ALL SNOWED IN.

I' ve been thinking about this
letter for about 18 years now. It 's
not that I' ve had nothing to say
to you . I just wanted to give time
a chance. I wanted to give you the
chance to be ri g ht.
Mr. Bucking ham , I hope you
remember. You were VicePresident then of Bloomsburg
State College (before they built
buildings in your name) and I was
a sophomore .
I wrote for the campus paper
and later became editor of The
Gadfly . You had Mark Piazza
and me over to your house for a
little friendly advice. Off the
record stuff. Just because you 're
a nice guy. Your wife served tea
and cookies.
You mentioned the foolishness
of my involvement with The
Gadfl y . You mentioned how
troubled my parents had become.
(You knew a little more about that
than you mentioned.) You told
me how I should be careful not
to come under the influence of
some professors that you knew to
be communists.
And you said , slowly and confidently, that you knew when I
grew older , I too would share
your wisdom. I'd be ashamed if
I didn 't change my ways. I'd
someday see things pretty much
like you.
Well , I decided you deserved
a response. Just so you 'd know
that your advice was thought
about. I wouldn 't want you to
think I was ungrateful. Or that
you were right.
What was The Gadfly ,
anyway ? It was a paper. You
couldn 't censor it so some said it
was "underground . " (Maybe
because it was printed in a church
basement.) It wasn 't very sympathetic to the BSC administration., .or any other administration
for that matter.
There was a sense, then ,
among those few of us at BSC
that we were involved in and connected with something bigger.
We were critically eyeing all of
our institutions. We enjoyed
reading, listening, thinking and
talking. You guys were such easy
foils. You didn 't need to expel us;
we would have expired on our
own without your unwitting help.
Bill Sanders became the third
editor of this paper.
Another aspect of the letter
that was interesting involved the
reaction this former student had
to "corruption." He despised it
then and does now.
It is encouraged that the letter be read . Not often does the
student return with wo rd s of
wisdom for those who
"educated" him.
Problems with snow removal
We thoug ht your judicial
system was more farcical than
judicious. This is how it malfunctioned. The Deans got suspicious.
They "investigated. " They
charged. They judged. They congratulated each other about due
process. Come on! Did you think
age, bigger cars , thousands of
diapers changed or a bigger
salary would make that look more
just? It 's still insane.
We raised the issues of a
segregated State College system
and were responsible for bringing that system under scrutiny
and , hopefully, some reform .
We didn 't like the war. You
remember that? You thought we
were unpatriotic, ill-informed and
undisciplined because we rejected
the war. How do you feel now?
We were all angry about Lt.
Galley and the massacre he led.
You , that he was being picked on.
We , that only he was being picked on. Right now , I bet you 're
wishing that they 'd leave Ronald
Reagan and Oliver North
Where are the chess players?
Bloomsburg has had a chess
club for more than 25 years , and
many alumjii are still playing
chess together. This February one
such team , "The Pawn Shoppe ,"
will be play ing in the U.S.
Amateur
Chess
Team
Championshi ps.
As the current advisor to the
Husky Rooks (BU chess club), I
was very pleased when these
alumni asked me to join them. I
would have much preferred to
take a team composed of our current undergraduates to this competition , but ri ght now we could
not field a team of four players
even if the CGA were willing to
fund the trip.
Last year we had four or five
It did not matter whether it was
in the East , the West , the South
or the Midwest; someone from
one of these groups was try ing to
censor or in some way control the
campus press.
During the course of this study
several disturbing trends stood
out:
First , no one seemed to have
any idea who the publisher of a
campus newspaper is. And
because advisers or students or
journalism departments don 't
know who the publisher is , they
don 't know what the paper's legal
rights are.
number of organizations which
deal with free press issues , there
is no one central source to which
a university newspaper in trouble
can turn for financial and legal
hel p in fi ghting censorshi p.
In summary , the censorshi p
dragon is alive and well on
university campuses throughout
the United States , so virile that it
could eventuall y threaten the
future of a free press in this
country .
The primary recommendation
of this study is that a national
foundation should be established
to hel p the college student press
fight censorship by publicizing
such attempts , by educating all
parties , and by offering financial
and
legal
assistance
to
beleaguered student journalists.
The time has come for professional journalism to give the issue
top priority .
Without such effort , the free
press in this country will be the
loser.
Censorship alive and well
Editor 's note: This article was
taken from a publication which
examines censorship on the campuses of the United States. It is
written in obsenwice of Freedom
of the Colleg e Student Press
Month , January 1987.
Afte r traveling 14,300 miles
and spending 55 days on the road
visiting and study ing 17 university student newspapers , two impressions stand out:
The good news is there are intelli gent , dedicated , newsoriented , and professionall y inspired student journalists 'at most
of the 17 newspapers.
The bad news is that censorshi p
is alive and well in some form on
every one of those campuses.
Censorship runs the gamut of
university groups: presidents and
provosts, vice presidents and
deans , department chairs and
newspaper advisers , and student
governments.
alone...not that they know each
other.
Do you remember how you and
your cohorts terrorized the lives
of students? How about those
sweet telephone calls to my
parents warning them of the
ominous influence of "those "
(READ: Percey, Sy lvester ,
Donovan) professors?
How about trying to expel the
original Gadfly, Lyle Slack , and
attempting to sabotage his entry
into the Peace Corps? How about
try ing to throw students out of
school for alleged violations of
law that the law could not prove?
Is that kind of big brother , guilty
'til you prove different , mentality still the job of the brain police
at BU?
It seems so strange to me that
you and the others were in the
education business. Why not
roofing, or carpet installation , or
hardware sales? There you
measure, you get your tools , and
you pound things into place. Why
education?
If I've learned anything it is
that you cannot learn if you cannot question. When you read of
Galileo 's and St. Thomas More 's
brushes with authority , whom do
you identify with? Now your
clones , the progeny of the BU
academic incest system, are still
running things.
I roomed across the hall from
one of them - Stan Rakowsky. I
never knew him to tolerate diversity or encourage a question. The
constitution , without all those
amendments, would have been
just fine for him , thank you .
We were both English majors ,
but I always thought Teutonism
Second , many journalism programs have divorced themselves
from the campus press. As a
result , students interested in journalism have to find the campus
newspaper on their own and , if
ihey do become staff members ,
often find little or no professional
direction to help them develop.
Third , although there are a
would have been a better choice
for Stanley . I remember him
praising the segregationist George
Wallace ("What 's the matter with
telling the people what they want
to hear?") and also Harvey Andruss and Boyd Buckingham.
Now he criticizes Jim Percey
and the "rowdiness" of the Mock
Conventions? (I always thought
they were pretty sedate affairs
compared to the real thing.)
We have an anti-intellectual ,
academically mediocre ex-student
(check the records!) who
becomes a trustee because he is
a sycophant. Here 's a sample:
There was once a man named Harvey,
Wlio worked long and liardforthe stale of Pa.
It was said by those who thought themselves

Tliat Harvey was the bright spot of their day.
day : student rights , civil ri ghts ,
the war, but that your attitude was
so smug, patronizing and condescending . You actually thought
the passage of time would turn
me into you.
Oatmeal is not an evolutionary
inevitability .
During most of my stay at
Bloomsburg, Richard Nixon was
President (and Stan Rakowsky
was his great local supporter) .
Nixon 's administration was like
the BSC administration. You
guys dressed alike; you acted
alike ; you loathed us. You were
suspicious of the same things
(hair , cities , Blacks , Jews ,
music); you liked the same things
(order, discipline, Woody Hayes,
short hair) .
(sic!)
And so together their hands they dealt.
S. Rakowsky, f rom The Maroon and Gold,
May 14, 1969
In retrospect , BSC wasn 't all
bad . We tried to explore a few
ideas so that we'd have something
to tuck into our knapsacks whe'
we left school. It provided tl:. i
necessary tension , that oppofiifj
force which required us to think
and . reevaluate . It heivj d me

still very much the same. I still
find your kind dull , manipulative
and insecure .
It 's not only that you were
wrong on every major issue of the
I 11 bet you guys even talked
alike - off the record I mean.
When Nixon lied , connived and
eventuall y bowed out , I knew
educated , grown adults who
were , for the first time , "disillusioned. " They could not believe
a President of anything, much
less the U.S.A. could do that .
Their icon of greatness was a badmouthing, low-minded , familydeceiving , country thieving
bastard.
They could not believe their
President could do that. I was

Bud Dwy er suicide
One reporter's perspective
by Stephen Drachlert
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
It was an unthinkable thoug ht ,
yet it was there. Something
wasn ' t ri ght. The gun said
something was wrong, but who
would do anything like that? Terribl y, R. Budd Dwyer.did the
unthinkable.
Standing in front of television
cameras , photograp hers and
about 20 reporters , the state
treasurer put a gun to his mouth
and pulled the tri gger.
Everyone thoug ht Dwyer had
called a news conference to
resi gn. His press secretary, Duke
Horshock , had called reporters
Wednesday,
hinting
that
something was up.
The unsaid message f rom Horshock was that Dwyer , was
resigning, a day before he was to
be sentenced in Williamsport ,
Pa., for conspiring to accept
bribes in exchange for granting a
$4.6 million no-bid contract to
Computer Technology Associates
of Orange , Calif.
He was the hi g hest-ranking
Pennsy lvania official ever convicted of corruption. The Pennsylvania Constitution requires a
convicted official to resign upon
sentencing.
But Dwyer had no intension of
stepping down. The gut feeling ,
something you j u s t can ' t
describe , had been right.
Dwyer had been reading fro m
a 19-page statement for 21
minutes when several of the
television photographers began to
move about his dark-paneled office. He thought they were get-
ting ready to leave.
"Those of you who are putting
your cameras away , you ought to
sf,ay. we aren 't finished yet , "
Dwyer said , in a voice that , now
thinking back , seemed to get
calmer and calmer.
Just a few minutes later , at
about 11 a.m., Dwyer called
three of his top aides to the front
of the room. They looked uncomforable as they stepped between
the cameras and stood before
him. He gave each an officiallooking white envelope.
Dwyer , then said "well , this ,"
and picked up a large manila
envelope from the table in front
of him. He stuck his hand inside
and slowly pulled a bluishcolored revolver out. It seemed
like the barrel was two feet long.
It looked just like the gun Clint
Eastwood used so often and so
brutally in his Dirty Harry
movies.
Dwyer began to lift his arm.
That 's the last I saw of him , as
I stood in the back of the room ,
near the door , and just behind a
from
reporter
television
Pittsburg h.
Some sort of instinct , maybe it
was raw panic , took over at that
point. I was no longer the cool ,
calm reporter covering a story .
Rushing past the peop le in the
doorway , I ran throug h the tiny
anterroom and into the hallway,
yelling for the police.
"He 's got a gun. He 's got a
gun. Someone get the police," is
about all I remember yelling at
that point. The hallway was nearly empty . Someone looked at me
like I was some sort of nut.
Choice of showing
suicide difficult
by Kevin Goldman
L.A. Times-Washington News Service
The suicide of Pennsy lvania
State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer
during a news conference Thursday with television cameras rolling presented broadcast news executives with a choice between
caution and controversy : whether
or not to air the grisly footage of
a politician shooting himself in
the mouth .
Officials at the four major networks , including the Cable News
Network , said that the decision
was easy ; no national newscast
would
broadcast
the
videotape, "he's not going to kill
himself on my air ," said Steve
Wasserman , news director of
WCBS in New York.
Mark Monski , news director
for WNBC of New York , said
that the NBC-owned station
would freeze-frame the footage at
the point Dwyer holds the gun to
his mouth . "It 's a legitimate story
in this era when public officials
are under such close scrutiny, "
Monsky said.
At least one station in Harrisburg , Pa., where the incident
occured , showed the entire sequence , including Dwyer raising
the gun to his mouth and , despite
loud pleas from reporters , pulling the trigger, "we're in the
news business, and we are in the
business of presenting it as quickly and accurately as possible ,"
said John Crossete , producer of
the 6 p.m. newscast on WHTM ,
an ABC affliate.
Other Harrisburg stations aired
footage up to the moment the shot
was fired. The stations said that
they received hundreds of complaints. Crossete said that the majority of complaints at his station
mentioned that the station did not
provide enough warning of how
graphic the footage was.
For television news, the story
presented what Tom Bettag , executive producer of the "CBS
Evening News With Dan
Rather ," described as a "thorny
issue. " Television repeatedly used compelling footage of the
Challenger disaster as well as the
attempted assassination of President Reagan.
But William Lord , executive
producer of "ABC World News
Tonight With Peter Jennings , "
said ,"Dwyer was not a national
figure. In Pennsylvania , it 's a major story ."
"We obviously had a lot of
soul searching," said Matt Silverman , producer of the 6p.m.
newscast on WGAL, the NBC affiliate in Harrisburg . "We aired
the moment up to the shot , then
froze the pictu re and let the audio
run where you hear the gun go
off. "
Bloomsburg University is committed to Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity.
Minorities , women , and other protected class
members are urged to pursue educational and
employment opportunities at Bloomsburg
University .

Then, from the end of the hall ,
I heard a chorus of screams, and
a sound that was like a dull crack
or a muffled firecracker , onl y I
knew what it was. Then there
were no more screams .
"Get an ambulance . "
"Police. Police. "
Three reporters ran from the
room , yelling, but at the same
time heading for the nearest
p hone to get the story out.
People then began spewing
from the room. One television
cameraman came out , carrying
his equipment , and gagg ing.
Treasury Department workers ,
hearing the commotion , ventured
into the hallway to see what was
going on. Within a few minutes ,
the hallway was filled with stunned workers, reporters, and police.
One police officer , carry ing a
first aid kit , rushed past and went
into the room.
As for me, I walked down the
hall , turned the corner and leaned against the wall. I prayed for
Dwyer , his wife and children.
Then I cried.

away to see what can be done ,"
the president replied .
After Reagan 's brief address ,
the protesters began mushing
down Pennsy lvania Avenue
toward the Supreme Court . U.S.
Park Police estimated the crowd
at about 6,000, down from the
37,000 a year ago largely because
of the weather. However , last
year ' s fi gure had dropped
drasticall y from 1985 , when
71 ,000 abortion opponents
marched.
At the court building, police
standing in a line at the top of its
steps told the marchers that
federal law bans demonstrations
on the grounds. But some of the
marchers defied the police warnings , and at least 20 were
arrested.
Desp ite their diminished
numbers , those who partici pated
in the march and several other activities during the day and ni ght
said the effort was worthwhile.
Lillie Gaskins , an employee of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission , wearing a heavy coat and a
cheery smile , said she was spending part of her snow-imposed
holiday at the rally because it was
"a good cause. "
Agnes Connell , a volunteer
from Whiting, N.J., said: "The
babies are suffering a great deal
more than we are in the snow.
We are willing to do this to impress our congressmen. "
Nevertheless , the smaller
numbers of anti-abortion protesters , along with several victories at the ballot box and in
Congress , have heartened supporters of the ri g ht to abortions.
They estimated that a march of
their own drew 125,000 last
March.
During a news conference at
the National Press Club before
the march , representatives of five
pro-choice groups noted that a
constitutional amendment outlawing abortion had been rejected ,
that anti-abortion referenda were
rejected in four states and that
several senators who openly opposed abortions failed to win
re-election.
"Over and over again , the
voters have delivered a clear
message," said Kate Michelman ,
executive director of the National
Abortion Ri ghts Action League.
"No to extremism, no to government interference in personal
decisions , and yes to the right to
an abortion for all women. "
The annual clash over the issue
signaled the beginning of the annual battle in Congress over
legislation governing abortions.
This year , it is expected to
center on two points: whether the
Supreme Court decision failed to
recognize the "humanity " of
fetuses and whether to restore
federal funding of abortions for
poor women.

'Platoon' brings the real Vietnam to the big screen
by Jack Mathews
L.A. Times Service
People arc lining up all over
America to hurt themselves. "They
are standing in lines that run
around the block , often in subzero temperatu res, waiting for the
opportunity to pay from $4 to $6
to see a movie that may be more
violent , more fri ghtening and
more depressing than anything
they have ever seen before .
For some, a frag ile minority
who view the movie a a personal
flashback , it is a return to the
abyss.
The movie is "Platoon. " com-
bat veteran and Oscar winning
screenwriter Oliver Stone 's
grunt 's-eyes view of the war in
Vietnam , and it-not "Crocodile
Dundee "-is one of the most surprising box-office smashes to
grace a studio 's ledger in this
decade.
With a mighty push from the
media , whose critics have formed a national choru s to sing its
praises and whose editors have
given over massive amounts of
time and space to assessing it ,
"Platoon " has become the movie
of the moment.
Orion
Pictures ,
whose
marketing people conceived a
crafty campaign to establish
"Platoon " as the "firs t real
movie about the Vietnam War ,"
has been rewarded with a
breakthrough hit that also figures
as the 1986 movie to beat in the
coming Academy Awards
contest.
Orion , ignoring the conventional Hollywood wisdom that
says you do not release downbeat
movies during the holiday s, opened "Platoon " December 19 in six
theaters in Los Angeles, New
York and Toronto . The opening
was scheduled to qualif y the
movie for Oscars and to give
America ' s most p r o m i n e n t
critics , winding down from a year
of hi gh-calorie comedies and
action-adventures , something
nutritous to chew on.
By January 16, it was playing
on 174 screens in 25 cities. After
17 days , "Platoon " had earned
$11.1 million , probabl y enoug h ,
measured against its $6 million
bud get , to have already put it in
the black.
The demographics of audiences
for "Platoon " have begun to
shift . Critics and commentators ,
fired up by the thoug ht that "Platoon ' s" inherent a n t i - w a r
message irray neutralize some of
the romanticized notions of Ram-
bomania , have been touting this
graphically violent, drug-laced Rrated feature as a family movieat least for families with teen-age
children , and families are beg inning to go.
In talking with theater
operators around the United
States , it is clear that the movie
is too hard to handle for many
people. Rick Randol ph , manager
of the Lefonte Tara theater in
Atlanta , himself a Vietnam vet ,
said that a lot of women end up
in the lobby long before the
movie is over , and on one occasion he saw a womana hel p ing
her husband , who was shaking
Squealer 's Corner
uncontrollably, out of the theater.
"Some people just can 't take
it," Randolph said. "It brings
back memories...! don 't think
vets should see it. "
Theater owners said that audiences are usually quiet
throug hout the show , and leave
in a state of numbed silence. But
there have been sporadic outbursts of cheering during scenes
when American soldiers coldbloodedly kill a couple of Vietnamese villagers .
During a screening in San
Francisco, laughter during one of
those scenes stirred a vet to yell
out , "That 's not funny , you
weren 't there!"

ATTENTION BSN
CLASS OF 1987.
by Susie Hanshaw
Film Correspondent
For those of you who may have
missed last week's film presentation of Tlie Blues Brothers, let
me give you a brief synopsis of
what it was like .
Even those people who have
never seen it , probably know that
it is an all-star cast featuring Dan
Akroyd and the late John Belushi ,
who play the two most renowned Blues Brothers , Jake and
El wood Blues.
Jake and Elwood initially are in
jail for tax fraud. When they are
released from prison , they set out
to garner the members of their old
band. In their quest to revive the
band , Jake and Elwood travel to
the their friends various job locations. Unsurprisingly, none of the
Blues Brothers have normal jobs
The Air Force lias?o special program for 1987 BSNs. If selected,
you can enfer active duty soon

BAHAMAS
we were greeted by a group of
gentlemen whose obvious purpose was to extract the liver and
various other vital organs from
anyone who even looked like
L.C.B. After flashing our I.D. 's
and donating to the furtherance of
their education , we were
admitted .
The party wasn't quite as unruly as expected. The beer was
flowing like... beer , and I felt
more at ease when I'd had a few.
An hour or so passed before I
spotted the agent.
He was disguised well but their
were some noticeable flaws; neatly pressed creases in his jeans and
the Vitalis look in his hair. He
would also start drifting into middle class conversation . He'd start
off , 'Hey , this party is jump in "
and drift into 'So you see, an IRA
is actually a good tax shelter. '
After he entered the bathroom ,
I waited outside , nonchalantl y
sipping my beer. Finally , he exited , but I noticed another
g iveaway- his fly was zipped ,
something drunks notoriousl y
forget: I entered the bathroom
next. There was a distinct odor
of Vitalis that made me want to
stop breathing forever, when I
saw the little black book.
Ten minutes later , I was
reminded by a sofa crashing
throug h the door that others also
wished to use the bathroom. I
decided to let them.
Finding a lighted area, I read
the cover , 'The L.C.B. Guide to
College Slang, Attire, and Attitude: A Self-Help Book. ' The
book was full of absurd translations of slang , tips on party garb,
and what the author must have
deemed the political views of
every college student in the
or normal constituents , which
adds to the comedy.
In their pursuit to regroup, the
brothers cause ' mass pandamonium. In addition , they also
meet their brothers friends , a real
crowd stirring bunch , and turn an
ordinary evening into a giant song
and dance routine.
Finally, the band is reunited entirel y, and The Blues Brothers
Band play together at the Illinois
Grand Palace Hotel. From that
time on , they are viciously hunted
down by those on the receiving
end of their destructive antics.
Eventually, Jake and Elwood
wind up back in jail , but they
don 't care because their entire
band is there also , and they are
able to provide the entertainment
for their fellow inmates.
Of course , the film is a
comed y-but hilarious it wasn 't.
There was much unnecessary
violence and mass destruction ,
which made it hard to laugh and
enjoy the film. At one point, Jake
and Elwood drive their cars
through a crowded shopping
mall. In addition , about 50 cars
were crashed up in the stunts. To
me , and to a lot of people who
saw the film, that kind of humor
isn 't funny . The Blues Brothers
was , at times, also confusing .
There were at least 200 people
chasing them at the end , but none
of us were totally certain as to
why.
But afterall , it wasn 't meant to
be a theatrical masterpiece.
Rather , it was meant to be taken
lightly and for entertainment. One
thing that was outstanding about
the film was the good-time music
of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles,
and James Brown. Their scenes
also appeared to be the favorites
of the audience.

You see , the frosty air was afoul
that day and thick with tension ,
very thick... Alan Thicke.
For this particular weekend
there was a dark cloud hanging
over Bloomsburg , a festering sore
rotting at the flesh of the college.
Somewhere, waiting like rats for
the ni ght , were the most dreaded
and repulsive of all creature s
known to man... the L.C.B.
agents!!!
Oh yes , they were waiting for
ni ghtfall , and with the night their
chance to infiltrate and hopefully bust a college party and make
the streets once again safe from
underage college drunks, like me.
As for me , I hold my Saturday
evenings sacred and hol y, so
th rowing caution carelessly to the
wind I called up a few of my
closest friends and coaxed them
into risking it all with me.

This past Saturday, at Centennial Gym, Program Board hosted
a bedsheet volleyball game. A
bedsheet was hung from the
volleyball net, impairing each
team from seeing their opponents
and the ball!
The game was open to anyone
who wanted to participate, and
those who did had a great time.

THIS .WEEK .AT
Erie's Dirty Looks strike it big
Ken Kirsch
Heavy metal is alive and well
in Northern Pennsy lvania. Erie 's
own Dirty Looks have hit the big
time with their third album , In
Your Face, on Selinsgrove-based
Sticky Records.
The album , along with their
previous two , has been released
in France , Germany, Austria ,
Spain , Sweden and Denmark ,
selling over 29,000 combined
units in these countries.
I can 't be sure , but my guess
would be that this number is probabl y proportional to the number
of those Europeans classified as
severel y mentall y disturbed
and/or braindead.
Though they boast record sales
abroad , their success here is, and
I' m being kind , minimal. The
band dropped off ten copies of In
Your Face at Record and
Jeanswear here in Bloom on October 1. As of January 21 , a
salesperson at the store reported ,
they had sold only two copies.
Uh-oh! Better call Sticky
Records and set up an interview
before Carson grabs these guys!
Lead vocalist/guitarist Henrik
Ostergaard , perhaps the most
convincing Bon Scott clone yet to
come along , blends basic blues
elements with traditional metal
screams on "Can 't take my eyes
off you ," and "Tokyo ," the first
single from the record .
But , as always, no clone is ever
perfect, and Ostergaard is no exception. He comes off sounding
more like Ozzy. Osbourne choking on razor blades than anything
resembling a singer. His voice
takes me back to my childhood
days when I used to throw shoes
at alley cats on the backyard
fence.
The biggest problem with this
album is that , although the production and overall management
seem to be top of the line , the
band , sadly, isn 't. My hat ' s off
to the guys out at TRS Audio and
Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA.
You ' ve got the right idea , now
find the right band , or should I
say a band .
Two Eries radio stations ,
WERG and WMCY , boast Dir-
ty Looks as being one of their top
ten requested acts, keeping good
company with such geniuses as
Black Sheep, TNT , and christian
metal rockers (eh?) Stryper.
Locally WHLM has also
agreed to promote Dirty Looks.
Personally , I could probably find
something much more constructive to do with my air time, like
replaying taped conversations
with Dr. Ruth or discussing foot
fashion with a local tube sock
manufacturer.
Don 't get me wrong, Dirty
Looks do have potential for AOR
p lay with the sing le "Tokyo. "
The song has all the traditional
metal guita r hooks and play-doh
melting screams of such forgettable classics as "Photograph ,"
and Kiss ' "Heaven 's on Fire ."
I get teary-eyed j ust thinking
about them.
The Voice would like to thank
WHLM 's Music Director , Eddie
Collins , for providing the promoinformation necessary to do this
review , as well as the copy of In
You r Face.
So * remember all you headbangers, the next time y ou 're
listening to Jen and Wen 's Friday
night 10-12 metal show, be sure
to request some Dirty Looks
music, or these poor underground
geniuses may never make it!

This kind of worried me ,
'cause if this guy who owned the
book even half believed • the
author , he could be packing a gun
and have intentions of opening
fire on the crowd at will. After
all , he was a middle class
Republican , and we were a th reat
to his home, family , job , and
eventual retirement.
The situation was critical.
I decided at that point to leave
and convinced my cohorts to do
the same by flashing them the
L.C.B. book. In fact , it convinced them so well that they all made
mad dashes toward closets , windows, and one friend even at-

From the locker room
Freshmen eligibility recalled
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Fifteen years ago this month ,
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association decided to allow
freshmen to compete at the varsity level in bi g-time college football and basketball.
This move was opposed by
many coaches and most academicians. Mainl y due to the pressure
put on the athletes during that
crucial first year of college.
It 's tcugh enough to adjust to
the move from hi gh school to college without having to perform
ri ght away on the court or on the
field.
As is the case in most things
that the NCAA does , the move
was designed to generate more
revenue for the schools , by
eliminating freshmen teams and
squeezing an extra year of playing time out of the studentathletes.
This has produced some
outstanding players who were
able to just dominate the game
their first year in college, but the
ill-effects still leave a bitter taste
in my mouth.
The graduation rates of athletes
have dropped remarkably since
its conception in 1972. In the last
ten years, Doug Flutie (Boston
College) is the onl y Heisman
Trophy winner to graduate fro m
college.
Much to often we see incidents
of college athletes who skip out
on their senior years to go to the
professional level because they
have proven their worth in
college.
Obviously this isn 't the only
reason that they don 't graduate.
Many just don 't have the grades
or the credits needed to earn their
When a kid p lays football games before he
attends
a
class ,
something is wron g '
diploma.
If the NCAA is smart they will
listen to many outspoken
authorities on the subject that include the presidents of Maryland ,
North Carolina , North Carolina
State, University of California at
Los Angeles (UCLA), Miami
and Minnesota.
Each one of these schools submitted a resolution to the NCAA
advocating an end to freshmen
eligibility in (Division I-A football
and Division I Men 's basketball .
Also outspoken on the subject
is Penn State football coach Joe
Paterno. He is very much in favor
of returning to the former way of
things.
"When a kid p lays football
games before he attends a class ,
something is wrong , '* Paterno
has been quoted as say ing,
"We 've lost a generation and a
half of peop le who were potential lawyers, doctors, teachers and
what-have-you , because they
were all caught up in bouncing a
basketball or running with a football... We were supposed to be
educating those kids. Instead , we
conned them for 15 years and
then when they were throug h
play ing pro football or pro
basketball , they knew they 'd been
conned ; they knew they 'd been
had. "
Let 's stop the charade , college
athletics is supposed to be secondary to the education. It 's about
time someone reminded the
NCAA of that fact so that
possibly we may be able to turn
the clock back 15 years
In the process , they would be
taking college athletics one major step forward.

Off the Bloomsburg knocks off Cheyney twice
V.
Bench
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor
Everyone knows that part of
President Reagan 's job is to
maintain his popularity level
with the general population of
America. This includes
speeches , guest appearances ,
banquets , and the such.
Most everyone accepts this
and is happy that there is an interest by the President in things
other than politics.
Almost everyone can recall
back in the early 1970' s that
President Nixon , being a
tremendous football fan , began
the tradition of involving
himself in major sports affairs .
Mr. Nixon set the precedent
of phoning the locker rooms
after the championshi p games
and the Super Bowl to personally congatulate the winning team.
This was pretty much accepted by everyone. It seemed like a nice , finishing touch
afte r a long winning season ,
and broug ht up the popularity
level of Mr. Nixon.
Since then , other presidents
have followed and expanded
this precedent to include other
sports , such as the World
Series.
Unfortunately, as with other
good deeds , t h i n g s can
sometimes be overdone.
The problem of the matte r
has been the current president
who has expanded the tradition
so much that some people are
beginning to get sick of seeing
his face everytime there is a
major sports event.
This is evidenced by CBS
television 's recent decision this
past week NOT to air the
President 's telephone call to
the winning locker room.
Not only does President
Reagan appear with or phone
teams in post-season baseball ,
the halftime show of the Fiesta
Bowl , the beginning of the
Richmond 500, but he also
gives a little speech that
somehow always tells the story
of how he almost became a
sports broadcaster.
This is all very nice , Mr.
Reagan , but isn 't there
anything else you can
discuss?? But I guess we can
all be grateful he also doesn 't
do the play-by-play announcing for a couple of minutes.
Think of what would happen
to the Nielson ratings!!
Still , a lot of people can accept all of his appearances. My
only question is why must he
then invite the winning team,
and sometimes even the losing
team , to visit the White
House?
To give an example, here is
a partial list of teams that hav e
visited his home-away-fromhome iri Washington D.C.:
The New York Mets , the
Boston Red Sox , the Boston
Celtics , the Los Angeles
Lakers, the Chicago Bears, the
Villanova and Georgetown
University basketball teams,
and the Kansas City Royals.
Even now , plans are in the
works to have the national
champion Penn . State football
team visit Reagan.
My whole point is that Mr.
Reagan should pay a little
more attention to Contra arms
scandals and trillion dollar
budgets .
It 's nice that he wants to be
involved in some way with
sports , but I think he should
cut down a little bit.
I mean, wouldn 't it be horrible if he called up Churchill
Downs in May and spoke on
national television to the winning horse of the Kentucky
Derby??

The Cheyney Wolves shot 0-7
from three point land in the first
half while the Huskies shot an
amazing 7-10 from beyond the 19
feet 9 inches marker , including
four in a row in one stretch , to
take a 54-28 lead at halftime and
a 95-72 victory from the Wolves.
The Bloomburg win is the first
over one of last year 's NCAA
"Final Four " in the Division II
playoffs since February 2 , 1984 .
The win places Bloomsburg
(5-2 PSAC East , 9-8 overall) in
second place of the PSAC East ,
while Cheyney (4-3 PSAC East ,
11-4 overall) drops to third in the
PSAC East.
The game began slowly with
the score onl y 2-2 after 3:24 had
gone by in the game due to turnovers and tough defense by both
clubs.
However with 12:56 left in the
first half , Bloomsburg 's junior
guard Joe Stepanski launched an
apparent three-point shot to put
the Huskies on top 10-8.
The referees ruled , in a questionable decision , to award
Stepanski only two points. This
controversial call seemed to ignite the Huskies as they went on
a 17-2 tear , including four three
pointers in a row , to take a 25-12
lead.
Cheyney called time out as the
partisan crowd roared with
approval .
After the time out , Bloomsburg
went on another strong run of
13-6 topped off by a technical
foul called on Cheyney coach
Charles Songster with 5:28 to go
in the first half.
Huskies then scored on the
possesion to put the game away ..
Cheyney 's Clarence Green , the
PSAC's top scorer , was held to
onl y eight points in the first half.
In the second half , the Huskies
made sure Cheyney had no ideas
of a comeback as Alex Nelcha
and Matt Wilson dominated the
inside.
Bloomsburg built leads of as
much as 32 points until Cheyney
put on a small flurry at the end
to make the final score 95-72.
Nelcha , a 6-6 sophomore from
Venezuela scored 18 points and
had seven rebounds. On
evaluating Saturday ' s game ,
Nelcha said ,"My coach prepared
me to play today...! wasn 't playing good , so he (Chronister) talked to me , and we practiced
hard . ''
Nelcha was one of five Huskies
in double figures which Bloomburg has now done in three
straight games.
Other Huskies in double
fi gures were Bill Connelly with
18 points , Joe Stepanski with a
team high of 21 points , Mike
Simpkins with 13 points , and
John Williams with 10.
Cheyney 's Clarence Green led
the Wolves with his game high of
26 points.
The Huskies now go on the
road to play York (PA) toni ght
and then return home this Saturday to host PSAC rival
Shippensburg .

Giants win Super Bowl 39-20
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor
As I sat down to watch this
football game with my friends
Steve , Tom , Bilsk , John , and
Jim , my stomach was kind of
uneasy because of my expectations of a close and hard-fought
game.
Through the first half , my fears
were being realized as Denver
held on to a slim 10-9. But then ,
the true Gaints emerged and completel y shut down the Bronco offense to record a 39-20 win and
the right to be world champions.
The game started off in the
Broncos ' favor as they won the
coin toss and elected to receive.
Raul Allegre 's kick-off was
was run back to the Giants ' 23
where John Elway took over. He
quickl y led Denver downfield
hi ghli ghted by a third and ei ght
pass to Mark Jackson for 30
yards.
A few plays later , Rich Karlis
booted a 48-yard field goal to
give the Broncos a 3-0 lead .
The Giants came right back as
Phil Simms came through on two
crucial th ird down situations with
passes to Stacy Robinson and
Mark Bavaro to place them on the
six-yard line. From there, he
completed a short pass to Zeke
Mo watt for a 7-3 New York lead.
The Broncos refused to be intimidated as they responded with
a combination of short passes and
runs to bring them down to the
Giants ' 36-yard line.
There , on a run by Sammy
Winder , the Giants were hit by a
costly double-penalty that placed
the ball on their own six giving
Denver first-and-goal. Three
plays later , John Elway ran four
yard s on a quarterback sneak to
give the Broncos a 10-7 lead .
With all the momentum on
Denver 's side , the Giants ' next
offensive series was quickly stuffed on three plays giving Denver
back the ball on a punt in relative-
ly good field position.
John Elway came throug h
again on a crucial third and 12
situation with a 54-yard bomb to
Vance Johnson giving them firstand-goal on the two. Unfortunateley , they couldn 't capitalize
and were forced to settle for what
most thought would be an easy
23-yard field goal.
Somebody, though , forgot to
tell Rich Karlis it was an easy
kick , and he missed it giving the
Giants back the ball along with a
massive break.
Short passes by Simms to
Robinson and Bavaro along with
runs by Joe Morris had die fans
on their feet , but the Denver
defense rose to the occasion and
once again forced a New York
punt.
This time it was Denver who
couldn 't get their offense in gear
as they were forced into a third
and 12 situation. The Giant
defense was not to be denied
again as George Martin forced
Elway out of the pocket and sacked him in the endzone for a safety to make the score 10-9.
After the Giants couldn 't make
any yardage out the free kick and
punted , Elway once again led
Denver downfield for another
field goal attempt.
And once again , Karlis missed an easy one , this time shanking it from 34 yards out.
From there , the Giants simpl y
ran out the clock until halftime.
The real Giants came out after
halftime and showed Denver exactly how good a team they are.
Receiving the kickoff , they
drove downfield to the fifty ,
where faced with fourth and short
yardage , they ran a fake punt to
pick up the first down.
Several nice runs and receptions by Morris brought the
Giants down to first and 10 at the
17. Two plays later , Simms was
on the mark with a 14-yard
touchdowm pass to Bavaro and a
16-10 lead .
It was a lead the Giants would
never relinquish.
After Denver was stopped in
three plays and punted , New
York opened up on the Denver 36
thanks to a 17-yard return by Phil
McConkey .
Morris ' running and a key first
down pass to Lionel Manual gave
the Giants the ball on the Denver
12. From there , they had to settle for an Allegre field goal and
a 19-10 lead .
Once again , Denver was forced to punt after three plays and
New York set up shop on their
own 32. A pass to Manual
brought the ball out to the fi fty .
There , Simms put on a show ,
with a flea-flicker that resulted in
a 48-yard bomb to McConkey
and a first down at the two. On
the next play , Morris ran the ball
in for a touchdown thanks to a
beautiful block by guard , Chris
Godfrey , putting the score at
26-10.
Denver opened up the fourth
quarter at their own twenty . A
sack by Leonard Marshall combined with a false start penalty
pushed the ball back to the four
making it second and 27.
Elway , forced out of the pocket
and under severe pressure , let go
a bad pass that was picked off by
Elvis Patterson giving New York
the ball on their own 47.
Simms , on fire throughout the
game, fired long to Robinson to
the 16. Two plays later , defensive
interference was called on Louis
Wri ght giving New York the ball
first-and-goal on the one.
Two play s later , Simms fi red
to Bavaro in the endzone where
the the ball was tipped and caught
on a sensational play by
McConkey . This boosted the
score up to 33-10.
Denver finally got its offense
in gear driving from their own 15
down deep into Giant territiory .
But once again they were stopped
and were forced to settle for a
field goal by Karlis .
The Broncos attempted an onsides kick , but were unsuccessful
and New York took over on the
Denver 45-yard line. A long run
on a quarterback sneak by Simms
brought the ball to the Denver
two. There , Ottis Anderson
quickly punched the ball in for a
39-13 New York lead . Raul
Allegre missed the extra point.

Tarheels remain on top
Staff Writer
With a surprising upset of
previously unbeaten and number
one ranked Iowa to Big Ten rival
Ohio State there will be a new
number one team , the best team
in the country , the North Carolina
Tarheels.
The boys from Chapel Hill
should have no trouble holding on
to the numbe one position the rest
of the season.
There were only three major
college teams that were unbeaten
going into the weekends play,
Iowa , DePaul and Clemson.
All these teams suffered defeats
A Division I Cheyney team invaded Nelson Fieldhouse Saturday and was soundly defeated
68-55 by a hot shooting
Bloomsburg team.
Sophomore Theresa Lorenzi
led the Huskies (13-4) with 28
points as she shot 13 for 20 fro m
the field and connected on two of
three free th rows.
The Cheyney Wolves (0-14)
were led by freshmen Tina
Brooks who netted 23. She
received support from freshmen
teammate Stareatha Hopkins who
canned 17 and pulled down a
game high 11 rebounds.
The Huskies came out an fire
shooting 61.5 percent in the first
half to Cheyney 's 35.3 percent
and staked themselves to a 33-24
halftime lead.
Remarkably, only two free
throws were shot in the entire first
half , Cheyney missed theirs and
Pam Bressi nailed one for the
Huskies.
In the second half the Wolves
continued to suffer shooting woes
(34.7 percent) while the Huskies
likewise returned to earth with
their shooting percentage (48
percent) .
The well balance Husky offense saw four players in double
figures. Besides Lorenzi's 28,
Pam Bressi nailed 10, as did
senior Linda King and junior
Amy Wolf.
Carla Shearer used excellent
foul shooting (5-6) to end with
nine before being taken out after
she injured her wrist.
First year head coach Joe
Bressi was happy with the way
his team came out after its loss to
West Chester last week.
"I think the best part about it
(the win) was that we lost and rebounded back and won this game.
We are a pretty good team at
home and I think that 's a big plus
for us right there."
"To be 13-4 right now , to me
is unbelievable. If anybody asked me how we'd be after 16 or
17 games, I'd have been happy
to be .500, but we're progressing well right now and starting to
do a lot of good things , we're
playing good steady basketball. "
