Confusion causes class

Reagan delivers State
of the Union address
by Scott Davis
News Editor

The State of the Union address
was given to the 109th Congress
Tuesday by President Reagan.
This was his sixth address and
possibly his most important.
The State of the Union address
was Reagan 's first major public
appearance since the Iran-Contra
Affair was revealed.
As Reagan entered the House
of Representatives, he received a
four minute standing ovation
from both Republicans and Demmocrats. He began his speech by
introducing the new Speaker of
the House James Write.
In his speech , Reagan dealt
well with his new Democratcontrolled Congress.
"Thoug h there are changes in
the Congress, America's interests
remain the same and I am confident that along with Republican
leaders Bob Micheals and Bob
Dole , this Congress can make
historv ."

Reagan spoke of progress in
U.S. economics. According to
Reagan , the inflation rate is the
lowest in 25 years and employment is lower but not as low as
he would like to see.
About ten minutes into the
speech , Reagan refused to
apologize for the Iran-Contra Affair , although , he assumed full
responsibility .
"Our sons and daughters in the
services can once again wear their
uniforms with pride , but though
we made much progress , I have
one major regret. I took a risk
with regard to our action in Iran.
It did not work . And for that I
assume full responsibility . The
goals were worth y. I do not
believe it was wrong to try to
establish contact with a country
of strateg ic importance or to try
to save lives and certainly it was
not wrong to try to secure

freedom for all our citizens held
in barbaric captivity ."
This statement received a standing ovation from Republican's
while the Democrats refused to
applaud. This scene became common as his speech went on.
Reagan 's face became serious
and determined as he spoke of the
Contras in Nicaragua. He vowed that he would "fi ght off any
effort to shut off their (Contras)
life-blood line and consign them
to death , defeat , or a life without
freedom ,"he continued , "There
must be no Soviet beachhead in
Central American. "
Reagan supported his decision
to continue with his Strategic
Defense Initiative system know as
Star Wars. He told Congress that
it was about time someone
developed a weapon to defend
lives rather than kill.
Reagan referred to the federal
deficit as "outrageous " and asked Congress why "states , cities ,
and the families of America
balance their budgets , why can 't
we?"
At the end of the speech ,
Reagan turned the focus to the
children viewers. He told the
children that the U.S is better than
any other country because it is
run by "we the people. "
Reagan appeared well at the
beginning of his speech. His
humor brought laughter from his
audience. His exceptional speaking ability was intact.
However , about thirty minutes
into his speech , Reagan began appearing tired and he experienced
difficulty pronouncing words.
His humor turned serious. He
seemed to be fighting to finish his
35 minute speech.
Reagan summed up his speech
by saying 'Excellence is what
makes Freedom ring. "
As Reagan stepped away from
the podium , he received another
standing ovation by both
Republicans and Democrats .

Kuwait involved in Lebanon

Hostage crisis heats up
by Charles P. Wallace

LA Times- Washington Post Service

KUWAIT-The
Kuwaiti
government said Monday that it
would reject any suggestion that
it release prisoners in Kuwaiti
jails in exchange for American
hostages in Lebanon.
Asked at a news conference
about Kuwait 's position following the latest kidnappings in
Beirut, Kuwait 's foreign minister,
Sheik Sabah al Ahmed al Sabah ,
told a news conference that the
United States had made no request to Kuwait for the release of
prisoners .
' 'We would reject any such request because this affair is a
Kuwaiti affair only, " Sabah said.
"I reaffirm again that there is
no relation between these
criminals who hav e committed
crimes against Kuwait and its
peop les and the kidnappers of
Americans in Beirut ," he said .
There have been reports circulating in Lebanon that an
emissary , as yet unidentified ,
traveled to Kuwait from Beirut
with a proposal for a swap of all
Western hostages in Lebanon for
the prisoners held in Kuwait.
One diplomat in Kuwait said
that there was speculation that
Saturday 's kidnapping of three
American professors and an Indian colleague in West Beirut was
designed to wreck the negotiations for a general release of
prisoners.
The 17 men in Kuwaiti jails ,

mostly Iraqis and Lebanese, are
believed to be allied with Iran and
opposed to the government of Iraq i Presidentt Saddam Hussein.
They were convicted of participation in the December 1983 car
bomb attacks against the French
and the U.S. embassies here , as
well as a number of Kuwaiti
installations.
Three of those convicted were
sentenced to death , but the executions were never carried out ,
reportedly after the intervention
of the United States, which feared
for the safety of U.S. hostages .
The 17 prisoners are believed
to belong to Al Daawa , an
underground Iraqi terrorist
group . However , responsibility
for the attacks on the embassies
was claimed by Islamic Jihad
(Islamic Holy War) , a shadowy
group that is also believed to have
close ties to Iran.
Islamic Jihad also claimed
responsibility for a car bomb attack in May . 1985 that injured the
emir of Kuwait , Sheik Jabbar al
Ahmed al Sabah .
There has been a rash of attacks
against Kuwait in the last week,
responsibility for which was
claimed by a group in Beirut calling itself "The Revolutionary
Organization , Forces ofthe Pro p het Mohammed in Kuwait . "
In threatening Kuwait, the
group has said it opposes the
holding of a conference of the
heads of state of Muslim nations,
which opened as planned Monday
night.

Support offered at Greek meeting

The registrar 's office blamed
poor communications for the termination of 373 class schedules
occuring at the start of the 1987
spring semester.
Kenneth Schnure, registrar ,
said the schedules were dropped
after students failed to register by
the deadline on Monday January
12.
"Roughly three dozen students
called to inform us that they
would be late ," Schnure said .
"Other than that , those who
didn 't meet the deadline had to
reschedule. "
The communication problems
started when students did not
realize the registration deadline
was Monday .
"The time was listed in the
schedule magazine , on the
preliminary schedule cards , and
on the billing statement , "
Schnure said . "Also , notices
were sent to be posted in
residence halls. "
The problem continued when
students with holds on their
schedules because they failed to
pay Community Activity fees on
time went to resolve their holds.
According to Comptroller
David Hill , approximately 1,000
students neglected to pay Community Activity fees for this
semester.
'This was the first semester
that the registrar 's office didn 't
send a card to notify students of
holds on their schedules ," Hill
said.
Both Schnure and Hill said that
some improvements of the

registering process need to be
made for the future.
However, after three weeks into the semester, some students ,
such as junior Patty Loeb , still
haven 't recovered from the poor
communication problems.
"I was late paying my fees .
After standing in a long line at the
Coffeehouse , I paid them and
asked the women from the Community Activities office , 'Am I
registered now?' She assured me
that I was and I thought that was
the end of it ," Loeb said .
"I wouldn't have know that my
schedule was dropped until about
a week ago I went to eat in the
Commons and the lady said my
card was invalid ," Loeb said .
"The manager came out and informed me, rather rudely, that I
was 'no longer a student at this
university . ' "
Loeb said she received no
notification that her schedule was
dropped . "I attended class, ate at
the Commons, and lived in the
dorm for two weeks and then suddenly I no longer existed here ."
"I had the pink slip back into
all of my classes. Luckily, all of
the profs and chairpersons have
been pretty great about the whole
mess."
Going into last semester, only
200 schedules were placed on
hold. That figure ballooned to
1500 holds this semester .
Schnure said the obligation
falls on the students to become
more responsible.
If the students fail to be responsible and something goes wrong,
they feel the college is 'out to get
them ,' " he said. "Unfortunately, it is my job , as the registrar ,
to enforce policy. "

Presidents9 talk p romotes Greek system
by Mary Pickett
for the Voice

"The rush you get when you
become a brother is like no other
you 've ever felt before , "was
stated by Beta Sigma Delta president Jeff Rojohn at the Inter
Fraternal Council meeting held
on Tuesday at 9 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to explain the meaning of Greek life
to potential rushees. The president of each fraternity presented
his personal experiences gained

Mike O'Hearn conducted the
meeting. After O'Hearn explained the requirements to rushing ,
the speeches began.
The crowd settled down , and
Gamma Epsilon Omicron president Jim Perota began his speech.

means "work , dedication , and

money , but , it 's all worth it. "
Perota commented on all of the
good points of being in a fraternity , including the service pro hel p
jects
that
they
run. "The Greeks contribute to
the betterment of Bloomsburg as
a whole ,"Perota confidently
stated.
Next , Tau Kappa Epsilon
president Ed Gobora spoke . He
reiterated the fact about the
friendship and brotherhood that
Greeks share . He also added the
fact that "in the business world
people will push you ,"and added that "this is what the fraternities do-push you. "
Sigma Iota Omega president ,
Scott Pickford , brought the aspect
of IFC sports into the p icture .
"It 's obvious that this part of
Greek life is very important to
every brother ,"said Pickford . He
also gave a note of insp iration by

say ing, "I have not heard of one
person who is sorry for pledging,
but I have heard of a lot who are
sorry for not pledging ."
Jim Strack , president of Phi
Si gma Xi , focused on the
memories th at pledging brings
you. He advised all potential
rushees to "check them all out ,
because they 're all great. "
Lambda Chi Al pha president
Dennis Murphy stated ,"It 's not
what school you went to , but
what you did when you got
there . "
Brian Horan , president of Zeta
Psi , explained the importance of
networking. He remarked that the
"Old brothers will set up interviews and give you recommendations for jobs. " Horan believes
this will prove valuable in the
future because, "It's not what you
know , but who you know. "

by Scott Davis
News Editor

Yesterday was the first anniversary of the space shuttle
Challenger disaster that took
seven crew member's lives. One
of the crew members was school
teacher Christa McAuliffe. She
was to be the first citizen in
space.
Relatives of the seven shuttle
astronauts joined in public
memorial services or grieved
privatel y. The family oi Ellison
S. Onizuka planned a happier
event to remember their family
member .

"We promised Ellison a luau
when he got back , with some of
his friends , and the luau never occured ,"said Claude Onizuka , his
younger oiomer/ 'so we made a
promise to the NASA peop le that
on the one year anniversary we 'd
come back and put that luau back
on. "
In Concord , New Hampshire,
¦
Chnsta b iioinc- ' * . ¦» , there was
no plans made to commemorate
the anniversary .
"We have carefully planned to
do nothing, " Concord Mayor

remember too much.
St. Peter 's Church , where the
McAuliffe 's worshiped and their

to protect our spaceshi p Earth .
She taught her children to do the
same. "

evening, and he advised all the
potential rushees to go to every

No censorship at BU

'

'—— ¦^wBi

"

Voice enjoys fair treatment
In this issue , there are two articles reflecting problems that student newspapers are faced with
on many campuses in this
country .
Attempts are being made to
control the content and editorial
policies of the student press.
It seems obvious that there is
a major misconception on the part
of those parties attempting to or
actuall y gaining control of campus newspapers . Freedom of the
Press is basic to the function of
our form of government. Censorshi p is the tool of an insecure administration that fears vocal opposition to its policies or actions.
This censorshi p, this control ,
takes many forms. It can be
pressure fro m administrators on
the adviser or editor ofthe paper ,
the pulling of funds from the
newspaper by the student government , or administrative control of
the selection of an incoming
editor or adviser. Thc adviser
alone can often .censor thc content of a student newspaper.

Regular readers ot The Voice
must realize that this newspaper
is under no form of censorshi p at
the present. The administration of
BU appears to understand the
purpose ofthe press, to question.
Recentl y it has been stated that
The Voice has been addressing
issues no one is interested in. that
we are ignoring the important
things and are simp ly headhun ting. If this is true , then the
readers should make it known.
The worst criticism of the
paper to bc heard is that we address solel y the negative side of
what is going on at BU.
Fortunatel y , this is not true.
Taking an account of recent
issues of The Voice , it is found
that the positive stories outnumber the negative. It is simply that the paper 's critics tend to
dwell on the negative.
If the administration of this
university believed what the
critics have been say ing, would
they have abstained from attempting some form of censorship?

The truth of the matter is the
administration of this university
and The Voice are developing a
positive relationshi p. For example , a corespondent has been
assigned directly to the president.
This will allow him to speak
directl y to the paper and through
thc paper to the students.
With the increase in the size of
the staff . The Voice is now
capable of addressing many of the
problems that face the students of
this university . Should there be
suggestions of story ideas , all
will , at least , be examined , if not
utilized.

This paper is of and for the student. It serves tlie university community as the main source of information on campus. Should
there be problems with the service , content , or issues discussed , they should be addressed on
the editorial page.
The content of The Voice is not
censored. Neither are responses
to that content.

Student governments censor
Editor s note : This is an article
taken from a publication which
examines censorship on the campuses of the United Sta tes. It is
written in obsen'ance of Freedom
of the Colleg e Student Press
Month , January 1987.
The most frequent source of
student government attempts to
censor or control student
newspapers is funding of student
fee support for newspapers .
However , onl y six of the 17
university newspapers in this
study indicated any censorshi p
problems with student governments. The other papers reported
no such attempts at control or said
the newspaper did not receive
funds throug h the student
government.
Such controls may take the
following form:
Northern
Illinois-Student
government at Northern Illinois
pulled its funding of the Northern
Star several years ago because the
paper would not y ield to its
pressures regarding editorial content. The paper has functioned
without funds ever since.
Montana-The Student Senate
president at the University of
Montana cut the government 's
$10 ,000 allocation to the Kaimin

to $1 last spring after the
newspaper successfull y defeated
the commissioner of hi gher
education 's publications policy
proposal for the university .
Nebraska at Lincoln-At the
University of Nebraska at Lincoln , the five student members of
the publications board are
nominated by the student government ,'7 which has investigated the
possibility of taking editorial control of the paper throug h its
members on the board .
The Daily Nebraskan receives
about five percent of its $750,000
annual bud get from student fees ,
and student government has
pressured the paper 's business
manager to accept a larger share
of the fees.
The business manager resisted
student government 's offe r
because he felt it was try ing to
control the paper throug h
funding.
Nevada at Las Vegas-Most of
the Yellin ' Rebel 's censorshi p
problems at the University of
Nevada at Las Vegas have
stemmed fro m student government , the source for almost half
of the paper 's $80,000 bud get.
The rest of the bud get is funded
by advertising revenues.
The student senate also con-

firms the publication board 's
choice for editor-in-chief and the
nominations for professional
journalist members of the board.
Because ofthe student government 's large role in the operations
of the paper , four staff members
hold seats in the 20-member
senate in an attempt to prevent an
outri ght takeover of the paper by
the student government.
In 1984 , the student ' senate
removed the editor-in-chief on
grounds of financial mismanagement after the editor published a
series of articles and editorials
critical ofthe student senate. The
senate closed the paper 's budget
and ceased publication of the
paper u n t i l the following
semester.
A subsequent editor began
receiving "subpoenas " from the
senate 's commission on research
and investigations, created to "investigate " various contracts the
student government had with the
paper.
When the editor began running
articles critical of the tactic , the
commission stepped up its investigation of the paper.
The articles so embarrassed the
student senate , however , that
other senators voted to impeach
the senator who ran the
commission.

Haig a political bull terrier
by George Will

Editorial Columnist

Alexander Haig is an aerobic
i n s t r u c t o r for the Eng lish
language , making it twist and
stretch. He 's the onl y presidential candidate who could accuse
the State Department of
"Cheshire-catting. " That enchanting partici ple suggests that
the department is receding, smiling, from the scene of President
Reagan 's distress.
Hai g certainly is not running as
an uncritical Reaganite . Most
people with an eye cocked toward
the presidency try to be as
agreeable as pupp ies. Haig is a
bull terrier. Even as puppies, bull
terriers are not puppy-like : Sensible people think twice before
petting them.
Hai g says the lack of disci pline
in fore ign policy that produced
the Iran debacle is becoming
worse as the State Department
pursues its own agenda , which includes any obtainable armscontrol agreement. Hai g worries
(he is the bad news bear of
American politics) th at a
dangerous agreement may be
made to seem palatable b y
cosmetic Soviet accomodation on
Afghanistan and a trivial Soviet
concession about SDI testing.
Reagan , says Haig, is a "Utopian " but not foolish; he listens
to advisers. But Haig thinks
George Shultz and Paul Nitze are
dangerousl y ardent for an
agreement.
Haig describes as "naive in the
extreme " Reagan 's idea of
eliminating nuclear weapons:
"The discussion (at Iceland) o f a
world devoid of nuclear weapons-and there was such a discussion
despite the equivocation that
followed the postmortems-may
be the most serious misjudgement
by a President since World War
II...We are only at the threshold
of the consequences of some of

Furthermore , after examining
the handiwork of Adm. Poindexter and Lt. Col. Nort h ,
Americans are apt to be even
more eager than usual to keep
politics and the military in
separate spheres. The last
military man to seek the presidency (Eisenhower) was disarmingly civilian in his demeanor. Haig
is , say no more , not.
However , as he prepares to
run , he is not , as he might say ,
ad-hocing. His political-action
disbursed
committee
has
$600,000 since Jul y. His name
recognition is hi gh. He gives
speeches that touch most
Republican erogenous zones
(althoug h he thinks conscription
and higher taxes probably will be
necessary).
He says a Republican candidate
must win non-Republican votes ,
which is a banality . Then he says
something startling: "The
Teamsters have told me they 'll
back me and won 't back any
other Republican. " he dismisses
George Bush as a "do-nothing
lackluster wherever he sat. " he
says of Bush supporters , "They
say they 're for him--then
apolog ize for it. " He says , "I'll
take on any of them (the other
candidates) in a debate ," then
adds: "Now , I don 't want to
sound too braggadocio ."
Although he is impeccably
tailored , he alway s seems to be
wearing a suit a size too small:
Such is his intensity , he seems to
be bursting at the seams. This
day , he is wearing a natty neoNathan Detroit suit , boldly chalkstriped : Damon Runyon does
Wall Street. His breast-pocket
handkerchief is a reproach to the
ink-stained wretch who marvels
at the workout the Eng lish
language is going to get in the
candidacy ofa man who has said ,
"I do believe the field is wideopen , but I think it 's premature
now for such posturing in a
definite way ."

the pie-in-the-sky rhetoric that
emerged in the dialogue of the
summit. "
His memoir of his stormy 18
months as Reagan 's secretary of
state , "Caveat , " is, he says ,
' 'especiall y good if you read it today ." He then , characteristically, goes too far: "I think you 'll
see I predicted all this. "
However , he did describe the
White House as "mysterious as
a ghost ship: You heard the creak
of the rigging and the groan of the
timber and sometime glimpsed
the crew on deck. But which of
the crew had the helm?"
today he recalls , i d say ,
'Wh y did you send me this
memo?' and he (Reagan) would
look at it and say , 'What memo?
I never saw it before .' "
Haig said Reagan 's optimism
may be taking on "surrealistic
overtones. " Haig sees "fiscal
flabbiness " in Reagan 's reluctance to use the veto . Clearly,
Haig goes further than any prospective Republican presidential
candidate in criticizing the
President.
His confidence is grounded in
experience: Gen. Mac Arthur 's
headquarters in Tokyo; NATO' s
staff in the 1950s; Pentagon and
Vietnam combat in the 1960' s:
deputy to Henry Kissinger and
then chief of staff in Nixon 's
White House; five years as
supreme allied commander in
Europe; president of United
Technolog ies; secretary of state.
Hai g is a serious man with his
mind on the most serious matters.
However , as he tries to become
only the fifth man to make the
presidency his first elected office
(the others : Grant , Taft , Hoover ,
Eisenhower), he faces among
other problems the fact that his
expertise is in forei gn policy.
Elections almost never turn on
that , and it is hard to imag ine
Haig waxing eloquent about
soybeans.

Administrative censorship found on U.S. campuses
Editor 's note: Tliis article was
taken from a publication which
examines censorship on the campuses of the. United States. It is
written in observance of Freedom
of the College Student Press
Month , January 1987.
Without exception , each ofthe
university newspapers in this
study lias had problems with administrative censorship or arbitrary control.
This study documented both
overt and covert methods used by
university administrators to censor or control the university
newspapers.
The sources of administrative
p ressure in the 17papers studied
varied , and there was more than
one source at some schools.
Those sources included university
presidents, boards of regents,
provosts or vice provosts ,
chancellors or vice chancellors,
department chairs, deans, a state
education commissioner and an
athletic director.

Administrators attempted controls by removing competent advisers, replacing them with
weaker advisers, restructuring
publications boards and directly
restraining publication.
Beyond the campuses where
they occurred , little was p rinted
about the many cases of attempted censorship or control of student newspapers.
Northern Illinois UniversityHowever , this was not the case
at Northern Illinois University ,
where an attempt to control the
Northern Star received nationwide attention.
After a series of articles critical
of President Clyde Wingfleld appeared in the paper, Wingfleld attempted to remove Jerry Thompson as adviser to the active ,
award-winping paper.
The paper had run stories
critical of Wingfield' s performance elsewhere before he came
to Northern Illinois and had more
recently printed articles about
cost overruns in the remodeling
of the president 's house.
Wingfleld assumed he was
publisher of the newspaper ,

because the university legal
counsel so advised him , and as
publisher thoug ht he could
transfer Thompson to another
position on campus.
Because he was arbitraril y
reassigned without due process ,
Thompson filed suit to regain his
position as adviser.
In the suit , he named Wingfleld
and the board of regents as plaintiffs. A temporary injunction
against the board to reinstate
Thompson has been approved ,
but the case is still pending .
Northern Arizona-Although the
president of Northern Arizona
University does not view himself
as publisher of the paper , he has
covertly attempted to control the
Lumberjack because of a new
hard news editorial policy instituted by editor Gary Fox.
Fox said the president
pressured the jo urnalism program
into calling in a team of four consultants to develop a new method
of handling the paper.
The paper is presently listed as
a "laboratory learning tool" in
the university 's catalog, and student staffers may receive college

credit for working on the paper.
The decision governing the
paper 's restructuring is still under
study.
Central Oklahoma-The president and j ournalism department
head at Central Oklahoma State
University overrode a search
committee 's recommendations
and hired an adviser for The Vista
whom the committee had considered less qualified for the
position.
The jou rnalism department
chair is listed as the paper 's "administrative publisher " and has
exercised his authority to pull an
editorial which he thought defamed a faculty member.
Central Arkansas-Both the
president and the vice president
for academic affairs at the
University of Central Arkansas
hav e taken publications committee matters into their own hands.
After the committee appointed
an edito r for The Echo who had
written articles critical of the
university 's athletic department ,
the president chastised the committee and told them that future

selections of editors for the paper
"would be somewhat different. "
Under the president 's new
policy, the publications committee would only by allowed to
recommend an editor to the vice

president for academic affairs .
The process was revised even
further when later when the vice
president also recommended a
student editor candidate to the
president.

Bloodmobile huge success
by Lynne Ernst
Staff Writer

Yesterday 's bloodmobile held
in the Kehr Union Building from
10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. was a
"huge success" according to
Blood Service Coordinator Mary
Ann Stasik of the Bloomsburg
Chapter Red Cross.
By 4:00 p.m., Stasik remarked that the target of 350 pints of
blood would be reached. By the
end of the day, 449 students had
donated blood. This amount
equals one day 's supply for 43
hospitals according to Stasik.
The Bloodmobile began on
campus three years ago when
there was a shortage of blood.
The university decided to take on
a January Bloodmobile that year
to help improve the situation.

I

In the Executive meeting of the
Community
Government
Association on January 26 ,
several issues were discussed.
There were no votes on issues
because these meetings are work
sessions onl y. The issues that the
Executive board discuss are then
brought to the senate. The senate
is where students can express
there opinions . All students are
welcome to attend.
Some of the topics that will be
under consideration at the next
senate meeting will be a request
by the band for $14,200 to purchase uniforms and equipment
and a request from the Recreation
Committee for money to purchase new Nautilis equipment.
There will also be announcements
of seats to be filled on the Concert Committee and the Parents
Weekend Committee.
Also a special note, Elections
are just around the corner. I
greatl y urge anyone interested in
running to do so, but to the people who never vote. Vote. You
pay $90 and soon $100 a year for
these people to spend . Don 't you
think you should have a say in
what these people are doing with
your money?

The Bloodmobile was so suc-

cessful that year, the Bloodmobile
now comes to campus two days
in November , one day in
January , and two days in April.
"Support from the students has
been fantastic ," said Stasik. She
added that 90 percent of the
Blood donated during the day
came from students.
Student organizations helping
with the Bloodmobile include Phi
Beta Lambda , Alpha Phi Oraega,
and Delta Pi. Also , a trophy will
be given to the sorority or fraternity that has had the most donors .
The trophy is given during an annual dinner to give community
recognition to the students .
The sorority Delta Epsilon Beta
won the first two years , while the
fratern ity Zeta Psi captured the
award this past year.
Also helping at the blood drive

are individuals from the community who volunteer to help in
any way they can.
Donating blood is a safe procedure and , on the issue of AIDS ,
Stasik emp hasized that it is impossible to get AIDS from giving
blood. Potential donors are
screened through questionaires.
The need for donors cannot be
expressed enough. Nobody plans
on using it , but when you need
it , you depend on it being there .
To those who have never given
blood , Stasik said that she cannot
say it's not going to hurt , but if
you can understand the need .
That prick is certainly worth saving someone 's life.
And for all of you who gave
both their time and their biood.
Stasik would like to give a "giant
thank you to everyone ."

Last Saturday your Photo

the many Quest programs.
On Thursday I went to a crosscountry skiing seminar in the

to some equi pment and advised
on what to wear on the tri p.
Saturday morning came and I
had to report to the basement of
Centennial Gym around 8 A . M .
The Quest equi pment room is
located there and we were handed out skies , boots and poles.

After sliding, falling and tri pping our way up the hill ? we all

Our instructor held a short on-the-spot seminar on how we
should approach the next hill to
prevent future problems.
"Oh , great!" I thought , "Now
he tells us!"
We finished our loop just in
time for our lunchbreak in the

Here we were able to warm up
after our first adventure if

This also gave me the opportunity to get the op inion of junior
Joanne Allison , a second time
skier with Quest , who was having a ball.
"I love skiing, downhill and
cross-country . I went once before

It ' s a cheap and easy way to go

After lunch we went out on our

We were also offered the
chance to learn a little downhill
skiing.
Not quite brave enough for
downhill j ust yet , I decided to
stick with the crosscountry part .
Althoug h it was quite a cold
day and I was sweating like a pi g
from all the workout , I was sad
that we had to leave to be back

Deniro returns to screenJ
with an exciting 'Mission

"Thc Mission '"is a powerful
new drama starring Robert De
Niro and Jeremy Irons as two
men—one of the sword and one
of the cloth—who unite to risk
everything against the forces of
two mi ghty emp ires in order to
save the lives of an endangered
Indian tribe in mid-18th century
South America.
Winner of the Best Picture
Award at the 1986 Cannes Film
Festival . "The Mission " marks
director Roland Joffe 's first
movie since the multi-awardwinning "The Killing Fields. "
"The Mission " is set in the
rain forest above the Iguazu Falls.
Here , , a Jesuit priest , iFather
Gabriel (Jeremy Irons), follows
the path of a crucified priest , armed only with his faith and a single
woodwind instrument.
Accepted by the Guarani Indians , Gabriel creates the Mission
of San Carlos. Joinin g his
acolytes is Rodri go Mendoza
(Robert De Niro), ex-slaver ,
mercenary and murderer , who
finds redemption among his
former victims and in time
becomes a Jesuit.
Several years later, as a result
of the Treaty of Madrid , the
Jesuits are summoned before
Altamirano (Ray McAnall y),
who has been appointed by the
Pope to determine the fate of the
missions. When he orders the

contest

A competition for writers of
original one act plays is being
sponsored by a Centre County
community theatre group.
The Project for the Performing
Arts (PPA), a community theatre
organization based in Bellefonte ,
Pennsylvania , is inviting novice
or experienced writers to submit
one act scri pts before Alarch 31 ,
1987 . The plays cannot have been
previously published or produced. Scripts .which meet specific
requirements will be read by a
committee of PPA members with
experience in the aesthetic and
technical aspects of community
theatre. The two plays found
most suitable for presentation by
PPA will be performed on a
sing le bill , during two consecutive weekends in Autumn ,
1987. This contest has been partially funded by a grant from the
Pennsylvania Council on the Arts
throug h the Borough of
Bellefonte.

Guarani to leave San Carlos , the
Indians decide to fight. Gabriel
and Mendoza face an agonizing
choice: to abandon their charges
or to violate their sacred vows of
obedience and non-violence.
With the approach of European
musket and cannon , one raises his
voice in prayer; the other , his
abandoned sword .
As Rodri go Mendoza , Robert
De Niro portrays a man who hai.
found God—and humility—at
tremendous cost. He has climbed his own Calvary , served those
he once enslaved , and publicl y
humbled himself before an
enemy .
But the fires of the past still
smolder in his eyes, and when his
newfound sanctuary is threatened , Mendoza comes face to face
with a moral dilemma: to break

a sacred vow of non-violence, or
silentl y sanction the slaug hter of
his friends.
This quandary is at the heart of
"The Mission " and of De Niro ' s
multi-textured performance.
It is in the letters of Papal
Legate Altamirano to the Holy
Father in Rome that the conscience of "The Mission " is
tested .
"The story confronts religious
conviction with political reality ,"
says Ray McAnall y, who plays
the role . "The same conflict exists within Altamirano. He is both
a polished diplomat and a man of
deep compassion. Beneath a
carefully cultured facade , those
two extremes have to be tearing
him apart. For dramatic purposes , however , it makes him a
fascinating character. "

Comedy of bad
manners at BTE

Rumors will be rampant this
winter when the Bloomsburg
Theatre Ensemble presents
Ricard Sheridan 's School f o r
Scandal. This comed y of bad
manners , opens Thursday ,
January 29 , at 8 PM and runs
Thursdays to Sundays through
February 14 at the Alvina Krause
Theatre
in
downtown
Bloomsburg . It will also play at
Wilke 's Barre 's Kirby Center
Friday, February 20, at 8 PM.
Written in 1777 , The School f o r
Scandal was the rage of its day
and is reported to have been
George Washington 's favorite
play . Today it is considered a
classic revival comedy and continues to be popular as it lampoons an ageless fault-the love
of gossip.
The School f o r Scandal offers
a glimpse of scandalmongery in
the days before the gossip

magazine , when ladies and
gentlemen , adorned in elaborate
clothing and ornate wi gs, met for
a rousing game of brid ge and an
even more rousing exchange of
gossip.
Led b y thc meddlesome Lady
Sneerwell , an outrageous group
of scandalmongers named Sir
Benjamin Backbite , Crabtree and
Mrs. Candour amuse themselves
by spreading slanderous rumors.
A deli ghtfully convoluted plot
reveals much to talk about: Sir
Peter Teazel' s rock y MayDecember marriage , young
Maria 's courtshi p with the seemingly lecherous Charles Surface ,
the secret return ofa rich old uncle in search of an heir and a host,
of trivial pursuits and famil y

and Garfunkel the respected
genuises they are today.
In 1972 , the dynamic duo
released a 'Greatest Hits ' compilation; giving me my first extended exposure to their music.
I am in awe.
Their acoustic masterpieces
reflect the attitudes of a generation , the tumultuous sixtiesthose kids who felt rejected by a
country who could not understand
them and refused to accept them.-"Oh those kids , they 're all on

Their songs take you inside
yourself , performing the same
soul-searching magic twenty
years later that they did the day
they came out.
'
But nowhere in the whole
album could I find the same arrogance toward authority that
those in power felt towards' the
kids back then. Simon and Garfunkel preached a peaceful ,quiet
message , acknowledging that
which they could never change ,
but at the same time could not
accept—The War , the hatred , the
expulsion.

tuall y do , out of need or necessity. But , especially in college,
peer pressure and group acceptance outweigh the legal boundaries. Underage students are

Alri ght , folks , check out that
hovering, (to some, fri ghtening)
face that looks as if it stepped out
of the earl y 70' s , perhaps
resembling a roadie from the
Beatle 's 'Let It Be' movie.
Now , take some kind of wild
guess as to what that face 's age is.
I beg in my column like this
because I've been mistakenly
identified by various members of
drinking establishments as much
older than I actually am. The
thing is , I don 't know whether to
be pleased or angered by this.
The purchase of beer or wine
is something that most of us even-

Getting carded , then , is both
embarassing and also frustrating
to the underage person , especially
if it results in the discovery of a
fake l.D. and a fine is imposed.
But when a person is no longer
carded , that sense of adventure
quickly evaporates, and the
romantic notion of 'late
adolescence' turns grimly to 'early adulthood' .
Recently, on two occasions ,
friends who ordered drinks were
carded as I stared in mute
amusement.
Their embarassment was
justified , as they were both
several years older than myself ,
prompting comments that ranged
from , 'I can 't believe it ' to
references on my questionable
ancestral lineage.

So I wound up wasting quite a
bit of alcohol-induced incoherency during my formative adolescent years, a time when the illegal
purchase of alcohol would have
been allowed by merchants .
But since I am 22 , now legall y
'of age ' , and the problems
associated with buy ing the stuff
and getting into bars is no longer
a problem , I have one question.
What was I really missing?

Awards show made for media

with nine nominations , she won
onl y two awards. The other big
winner was Lionel Ritchie with
four awards.
During the endless , three-hour
parade of stars and semi-stars
reading nomination lists and hugg ing tearful winners, an event that
seemed to cause the biggest stir
was the appearance of Madonna ,
who won a video award .
She showed up dressed as
Maril yn Monroe. From the
screams of the crowd , it was obvious her fans did not seem to
think she is overdoing the

Marilyn look. But at least one of

her colleagues does. A famous
female singer cattily commented
at the post-show party :
"She didn 't care about that
damn award . All she wanted to
do was get on TV in that Marilyn
outfit. That 's all she ever wears .
It 's like that American Express
commercial. She never leaves
home without it. "
Though the Grammys are infinitely more prestig ious , the
American Music Awards, now in
their 14th year , have made certain strides , mainly in the area of

When you break awaythis year,
do it with style.

Your College Week in Bermuda is more than just sun ,
sand and surf.
Right fro m tlie first outrageous "College Bash"
at Elbow Beach , it 's an unrelenting test of your
endurance.
Spectacular seaside buffet luncheons. A calypso
and limbo festival like none other. Smashing dance-tilyou-drop beach parties , featuring Bermuda 's top rock ,
steel and calypso bands. Even a "Party Cruise and
Private Island Extravaganza:' All compliments of the
Bermuda Department of Tourism.
Bermuda is all of this—and much , much more.

It 's touring the island on our breezy mopeds.
(Do remember to keep left!)
It 's jogging on quiet country roads—including an
earl y morning 2-k "Fun Run " from Horseshoe Bay . It 's
exp loring the treasures in our international shops ,
playing golf on eight great courses, and tennis on over
100 island-wide courts.
But most of all , it 's the feeling you get on a tiny,
flower-bedecked island , separated from everywhere
and everythin g by 600 miles of sea.
This year , go wild... in style. See your Campus

Some January thoughts
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

Well , another Super Bowl and
another rout as the competition in
what is considered to be the biggest game of the year in all sports
continues to decline.
When was the last time there
was a close game in the Super
Bowl where there was actually
some question as to who was going to win at the beginning of the
fourth quarter??
You have to go back all the
way back . to Super Bowl XVI
when San Francisco defeated
Cincinnati 26-2 1 in 1982. Before
that , you have to go back to 1979
when Pittsburgh edged Dallas
35-31 in Super Bowl XIII .
The two weeks of hype and
publicity preceeding the game the
last few years (actually five)
brings up everyone's hopes of a
great game, only to have it turn
into another rout.
Here 's one vote for Pete
Rozelle to eliminate that extra
week of boring media hype and
play the Super Bowl the week
after
the
conference
championships.
By doing this , the player 's
routines would not be thrown off
that extra week , and even better ,
we wouldn 't have to listen to live
hourly reports of exactly what
each player has done for fourteen
consecutive days.
Besides , anything is better than
listening to football players trying to make music videos and
John
Madden
describing
Gatorade buckets.

Torfeting remaining games in 1986-1987 season
"Not eligible for post-season due tn NCAA Division T status

FTL error spotted
Dear Mr . Mullen ,
I would like to commend you
on your fine article entitled
"Freshman eligibility recalled"
in the January 26, 1987 edition
of the Voice.
However , I would like to make
one correction in one of the facts
you presented. Doug Flutie is not
the only Heisman Trophy winner
to graduate from college in the
last ten years.
Those who have graduated , in
chronological order: 1977-Earl
Campbell of Texas; 1978-Billy
Simms of Oklahoma; 1982Herschel Walker of Georgia (he

left college in his junior year and
came back in the off-season of
football to secure his degree) ; and
1984-Doug Flutie of Boston
College.
I know that this is still not an
acceptable graduation rate f or the
nation 's best college football
player , but it is still a fact.
I obtained this information in
the November 10, 1986 edition of
Sports Illustrated on page 66
under the article entitled
"Heisman vs. education. "
Sincerely,
Michael Tuman

Grim
at a pretrial hearing that a 1972
Heisman Trophy winner (Johnny
Rodgers) charged with three
felonies had threatened to shoot
him for disconnecting his service.
"I was in the process of disconnecting the line," technician
Jaime Toxas testified Wednesday , "and I heard someone yell-

ing, 'Hey you .' The gentleman
told me either I come down , or
he shoots me down fro m the
pole. "

On a more serious note , it is
good to see at least one professional sports organization taking
a stand against drugs in sports.
I' m referring to the NBA ,
which recently suspended Lewis
Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins, of
the Houston Rockets for two

years, for their second offense of
cocaine abuse.
Professional athletes, and college athletes for that matter , too ,
are looked up to by kids and
adults alike. When they take
drugs, little kids especially get the
idea that it's okay to do so.
I'm not saying that sports are
overridden with a drug problem,
but because of how much time is
spent in the public eye, steps must
be taken to eliminate the use of
these substances.
If only Peter Uebberoth and
Pete Rozelle would follow in the
NBA' s footsteps , my bet is that
most drug abuse by athletes
would suddenly be curtailed.
The race for number one in college basketball is starting to heat
up as the season has passed the
halfway mark.
Right now , there is no consensus favorite for the championship.
If I had to bet on a team , my first
choice would probably be the Tar
Heels of North Carolina followed right behind by Nevada-Las
Vegas .
But what 's an NCAA Tournament without your picks for the
"Cinderella'" team to go almost
all the way??
I expect Clemson to make a decent showing, as will Navy
(which is currently struggling),
and
Virg inia ,
Temp le ,
Bloomsburg (just kidding!).
Unfortunately, none of these
teams really qualify for that unexpected team to upset everybody .
So are all of you ready for my
official pick to suprise much of
the college basketball world??
Here it comes...Seton Hall.
No , this is not a misprint, but
rather a hunch that I have. And
why not , anyway? They deserve
it as much as anyone else.
We'll see what happens in
March and April.

FTL: A f inal word bef ore we tuck this season away
by Mfike Mullen
Sports Editor

.

,
The 1986-1987 football season a season to remember , a season
some would like to forget. For teams such as the New York (Jersey?)
Giants and the Penn State Nittany Lions , the season was a fruitful
one and well rewarded. Teams such as the Denver Broncos , the
Chicago Bears , the Michigan Wolverines , and the Miami Hurricanes ,
however , are left to ponder what might have been.
To talk about one man would be ludicrous at a time like this when
we should be remembering the entire cast of characters that made
up this close to five month ordeal. Still , the subject of this column
has had such a dramatic affect on his peers and his sport that he has
been named Sports Illustrated 's Sportsman of the Year for 1986.
The man of course is Joe Paterno.
Before we get to him I would like to give some runner-ups recognition:
Van Tiffen , Alabama place-kicker who finished his college career
without a sing le miss on an extra point attempt. That happens to be
146 in a row , 159 if you add his last 23 "in hi gh school. He hasn 't
missed since he was a junior.
Bo Schembechler , Michi gan Wolverines head coach who recently lost his eleventh bowl game in fourteen attempts (thats 3-11 folks).
He still gets my support because of the tilings he does right to get
to those bowls. Eleven Big Ten titles is nothing to sneeze at , especially

when you know the big Bo doesn 't cheat. Keep trying, Schem.
Mark Scallion , sixth man for Division II' s Mount St. Mary 's College basketball team. Who? Scallion became , in all probability , Lhe
only player ever to score a 1000 points without ever starting a game.
He accomplished that feat on December 6 of last year and is averaging around 15 points a game for the third ranked Mounties. Gotta
love those sixth men .
Joe Paterno.
The name means a lot of different things to a lot of different peop le. Some like him and revere him while others desp ise and abhor
him. Whatever you think of him , the fact is , he is an outstanding
coach. His 199-43-3 record speaks for itself. His 11-5-1 bowl record
is second onl y to Bobby Dodd's 9-4 record with Georgia Tech , and
being 23-1 over the last two years with a fu ture financial anal yst cahing
the signals is an impressive feat.
What makes this man special is that he cares as more about his
players and the game than the players care about themselves or the
fans do the game. Paterno constanly challenges his players to challenge
themselves , to become the best they can be both on the field and in
the classroom.
Paterno makes academics a major part ofhis program , where football is his forum , a way of relaying his message to hundreds of young
adults each year. Paterno wouldn 't give that up for anything. Once
when offered a professional coaching position with the New England
Patriots , he turned it down , and delivered an exhortation that clear-

The man has serious convictions on what it means to coach a sport
on the college , or even hi gh school level. It is not a job to be taken
lightly because , as we find out too often , bad things happen when
responsbility is shirked . I am not blaming Lefty Dreissel for what
happened to Len Bias , nor am I blaming Barry Switzer for Brian
Bosworth 's actions. I am just saying that once you assume the role
of a coach you must become much more than that. Unfortunately
for college athletics many never become or even try to become more
than just a coach.
Although most will not agree with me , I feel strong ly that college
athletics has been greatly aided by this man , and it will be a great
loss when he retires from coaching, which will be in about "four
or five more years, " something he has been saying for the past decade
and a half.
Paterno feels strongl y on the subject of retirement ,"What .if an
18-year-old kid wants to be an idealist? What if he wants to find some
integrity in college athletics? Where is he going to go?"
Go see Joe , kid. He 's got a pair of ugly black shoes just your size.

Coming off a non-conference
win over York (Pa) Monday
ni ght , 101-85, the mens basketball team has become the hottest
thing at Bloomsburg University .
The red-hot Huskies have now
won four in a row, while their offense has now put five men in
double fi gures in the same
number of games.
The Huskies may have had
Cheyney on their minds in the
first half because of their slow
start .
"York did a good job on
defense in the first half. They
kept our big guys out of the
game, " said Huskies head coach
Charles Chronister.
This was evident in the fact that
the Huskies went to the foul line
only four times in the first half ,
and found themselves down
42-38 at the intermission.
Bloomsburg then came alive in
the second half tying the game at
49 on a Bill Connelly free throw

with 17:12 to go in the game.
The Huskies then controlled the
game holding leads of as much as
five or more until York pulled
within four at 87-83 with 2:45
remaining .
From there BU went on a 14-2
tear , nailing key free throws
down the stretch to make the final
score 101-85.
Alex Nelcha and Connelly once
again dominated the inside,
especially in the second half , to
score 21 and 29 points
respectively.
Les Grow paced York with a
game high 30 points in a losing
cause.
The Huskies next opponent is
PSAC Eastern Division rival
Shippensburg .
