Presidentia'i Corespondent

Bloomsburg University President Harry A. Ausprich continues
the tradition of open office hours
every Monday from 1:30 to 4:30
pm.
Dr. Ausprich said the purpose
of open office hours "is to g ive
the students, staff , and faculty the
opportunity to share issues and
open the channel of communication. "
According to Dr. Ausprich ,
when people come in they usually are advised about academic
problems.
"1 respect the confidentiality of
Dr.
the student , " said
Ausprich ,"it is with the spirit of
the campus. It preserves intimacy
and confidentiality."
However, Students do not need
to have a problem to talk with
him. The president welcomes
students to come in just to let him
know what is on their minds.
Students who come in share
with me issues and concerns or
they wish to invite me to an
organizational meeting to give a
presentation. " said Dr. Ausprich.
Students can also meet with the
President just to get to know each
other on a less formal basis
Dr. Ausprich , who has only
been at BU for two years, feels,
that open hours is a good way to
get to know the students. He also
tries to bridge the gap between
the students and himself by walking around the campus.
"Most students are positive
and supportive of the institution
and I feel it is important to get to
know many of the students,"
commented Ausprich. "I hope
people will take advantage and
come in and talk. "

Law Enforcement
a true police force

by Imtiaz Ah Taj
Staff Writer

The office of Law Enforcement
at Bloomsburg University is not
'security. ' The officers are actual
police.
"The officers have to take a
480 hour police course at a
municipal police training center , "
said Ken Weaver , chief of BU
Law Enforcement.
The officers also must learn
CPR techniques and qualify on
the firing range.
"They are then sworn in by a
district magistrate. After that they
have the power to make arrests ."
Law Enforcement is made up
of 15 officers , working in three
shifts , under Paul Conard , assistant
vice-president
of
administration.
"The officers were known as
night watchmen until the late Sixties ," Weaver said.
were
"In
1970 , they
reclassified as security officers. "
The BU Law Enforcement office is open 24 hours a day
throughout the year.
The duties of campus police include overseeing the safety and
welfare of students .
"The officers are also key control officers ," Weaver said .
"They have to control 4000 keys,
individual key cards , and a back
up system. "
He added that Law Enforce-

ment controls 99 percent of the
key distribution on campus.
Another duty of the officers is
the handing out of traffic tickets.
"They can issue tickets from
Penn St. to May St., on the
hospital parking lot and anywhere
on .campus."
Weaver added that BU Law
Enforcement works through the
legal council in Harrisburg and is
represented by Attorney Robert
A. Mulle , as are the Law Enforcement offices of Shippensburg and East Stroudsburg
universities.
He said that all traffic tickets
are processed by hand . "There is
no computer to aid us ," Weaver
said.
The tickets are void if paid .
Otherwise, a five and fifteen day
notice is issued , after which the
offender is required to appear in
court.
The officers carry no
weapons," Weaver said. "The
only weapons found in the office
are from the students, who have
to register them before entering
the campus. "
BU Law Enforcement is able
to handle most of the situations
without requiring aid from local
police, added Weaver.
There is also an investigative
officer and a fingerprinting and
photography section at the Law
Enforcement office.

After 14 years of embarassing
and waste-of-time false alarms,
often followed by unpleasant
searches , a new security system
has been installed at the two main
exits of the Harvey A. Andruss
library.
Gail Lynch , responsible for circulation at the library, said "The
old system was a real harassment,
the a^arm would go off for any
pience of metal carried through
the checkpoints. On rainy days
especially .
Lynch added
"Every umbrella would make a
the real annoying beeper go off.
Every time we had to stop
students , who most of the time
were rushing to class, and go
through all their stuff before we
could let them go. It was a real
pain ,to both us and the students ."
One of the main features of this
new security system is the disappearance of false alarm problems
caused by commonly carried objects like keys and watches.
The two non-magnetic checkpoints also provide absolute

saftey against interference with
hearing aids , heart pacemakers ,
or any other electronic device.
The absence of components that
can damage magnetic materials
like video and audio tapes or
computer disks , is the third
characteristic of the security
system .
Each item protected by the
system has a tiny , permanent,
stick-on photocircuit which
makes the beeper at the checkpoint go off when the protected
item is carried through the sensing screen .
In addition , _!s soon as the
beeper goes off , the turnstiles in
front of the checkpoints
automatically lock.
The new targets applied on the
protected items have the advantage of being much smaller than
those needed for the former
system. This makes it possible to
protect many smaller objects.
The system cost about $10,000
and was installed after the Andruss Library received a $50,000
fund from the State System of
Hi gher Education.

Astronomers witness the
birth of a new galaxy
by Robert Cooke

L.A;.Times-Washington Post Service

The first subtle hints of
something new and unusual came
in via .radio telescope, when
astronomers kept stumbling
across a large, fuzzy , puff-like
object in the sky.
"It was a strange one, " said
Professor Hyron Spinrad. "We
hit on the wrong object several
times before we realized there
was a large , soft puffball. " The
fluff y-looking object was a huge,
diffuse galaxy they had caught in
the act of being born.
Spinrad , at the University of
California , Berkeley, said the
newborn galaxy is about 12
billion light-years away , and it
contains only a few big blue stars.
The color and size of the stars
suggest the galaxy is still forming its first generation of brandnew stars .
This is what theoreticians tell
you a forming galaxy should look
like," Spinrad said in an interview . "It has a mass of ionized
gas 300,000 light-years across ,

with relatively little starlight. But
it has no clear center of condensation of stars . And it is larger
than any other known galaxy at
such great distance. "

The galaxy is so far away , in
fact , that what astronomers are
seeing are events that occured 12
billion years ago- the amount of
time it takes light to travel from
the distant galaxy to Earth . So
what the astronomers are watching is something that happened in the early history of the
universe.
Unlike most other know
galaxies- which are seen as large,
flat spirals or as spherical collections of stars- the new object "is
just a more or less uncondensed
blob . A large proportion of its
mass is still gas, so this one is sort
of caught in the act" of being
born , "at some stage of postbirth ," Spinrad said.
"So this thing is different; it
probably hasn 't formed most of
its stars yet," Spinrad said, which
makes it the first seen at such as
early stage of development .

to

Fire safety oversights force university to act
by Lisa Cellini
Staff Writer

A lack of safety procedures at
Bloomsburg University is forcing
the university to hire an 'institutional safety specialist. '
According to Dr. J. David
Cunningham, Director of Personnel and Labor Relations, th ere is
a distinct need for a full-time
safety specialist, acquainted with
all aspects of the campus.
Presently , safety procedures
are being handled by Law Enforcement. However , with all of
the duties that campus police must
manage, little time is left to update or maintain safety standards.
"This kind of dropped into my
lap , " said Lieutenant Debbie
Barnes , assistant chief of law enforcement. Barnes is in charge of
updating the numerous fire extinguishers throughout the university . According to several

sources , this is the extent of Law
Enforcement's involvement.
Mr. James Michaels of personnel , said a 'community right to
know' law has recently been
enacted in Pennsylvania. It requires all employers to educate
their employees about the conditions in or hazardous chemicals
with which they work .
This law extends to faculty and
students as well. By October ,
1987, all students , faculty , and
staff must be educated about and
informed of any hazards present
in any working or learning environment, with subsequent training annually .
The problems which need to be
dealt with include fire safety and
increasing safety awareness on
campus.
Over the past ten years, the
university has contributed a total
of $116 ,000 to the Town of
Bloomsburg to help pay for an

aerial ladder truck for fires and
rescues in hi gh rise buildings on
campus.
Jennie Carpenter , director of
residence life, claimed the 84 ft.
ladder will not reach the ninth
floor of Columbia Hall. She added, however , that there is a slim
chance of someone being trapped
in the building in the event of a
fire.
Citing a 1983 fire incident at
Columbia , Carpenter said the
building was evacuated by the
time the first fire truck arrived ,
approximately five minutes later.
"Fire safety procedures are second nature to these kids ,"
Carpenter said . "We should have
that truck, but not depend on it. "
Bloomsburg Fire Chief Ralph
Magill claimed that the ladder
would reach the bottom of Columbia Hall' s ninth floor , and with
an attachment, reach the top .
"We're really not posted about

thefts with this new system
William Ryan , director of the
"A
confessed .
library,
psychological factor is involved :
photocopiers available should
discourage students from damaging or stealing materials. " Ryan
said.
Althoug h Ryan could not
estimate the cost of library theft ,
any student who fills up a card to
track down a missing item will
soon discover that theft is more
common than he or she thinks.
"Many students are very irresponsible in borrowing and using books. " Lynch said when
asked about missing items.
"Besides taking out of the
library material which has not
been registered , students often
take books out of the shelves and
never put them back ," Lynch
continued , "We found books in
trash cans, bathrooms or hidden
in desk drawers . I really cannot
see a reason for all this. "
The new security system will
not improve the service offered
by the library until students will
learn to be responsible for the
items they take advantage of.

what happens up there," he said .
"Our rapport with the university is poor. "
Concerning the fire procedures
the university practices , Magill
said,"We don 't have enough men
to take each person out by the
hand. I hope they practice fire
drills; I don 't know if they do. "
According to Carpenter, smoke
alarms which activate fire alarms
muust be placed in all residence
halls by 1989.
Resident advisors on each floor
have been trained to use fire extinguishers and check every room
for occupants in the event of a
fire , Carpenter said. "I tell them
not to play hero. "
She added , if the resident advisor is not present, assigned
floor marshalls check the rooms
instead .
"We want a full-time
professional- someone who has
had experience in a campus en-

vironment. We want safety to be
100 percent , " Cunningham said.
The position description is in its
final stages of development and
will be completed within the next
two weeks, according to Cunningham and Michaels. The
specialist will need three to five
years of experience and a college
degree.
Although specific details about
the job are unknown , Cunningham claimed that the specialist
will keep in close contact with the
community fire departments , and
will work with a soon-to-be
reinstated "campus safety committee," consisting of faculty and
students.
Michaels and Cunningham
added that two months is the
earliest that the position can ' be
filled , depending on whether or
not the right person is in the immediate area.

astronomer who worked on the
discovery, S. George Djorgovski ,
at the Harvard-Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., the light coming
from the new galaxy resembles ,
in brightness, a 40-watt light bulb
viewed from 1 million kilometers
away .
Djorgovski also thinks the new
object may be an example of a
"late-born " galaxy , one which
formed after the universe 's main
burst of galaxy production was
over. This may mean that galaxy
formation continued longer than
astronomers currently believe.

According to Djorgovski , "30
or 40 years ago , galaxies began
to be studied as a means to
understand the expansion of the
universe. The key question was,
and still is , whether the universe
will continue to expand , or if at
some critical threshold it will
begin to collapse back into
itself.'' Before galaxies can be used to answer that question , he
added , a better understanding of
galaxy formation and evolution is
required . .

A

Drug testing cost too high
This past fall , the Congress of
the United States was caug ht in
what seemed to be a dilemma.
Faced with the decision of keeping the budget "balanced " or
funding Reagan 's new anti-drug
bill , or both , the two houses of
Congress went in just as many
directions.
The House pulled funds from
other programs to support the
anti-drug bill and keep the bud get
balanced . The Senate decided to
"break the bud get " in funding
the proposed program.
It seems odd to note that the
Republican Senate , and not the
Democrat-controlled House ,
chose to break Reagan 's balanced bud get.
What is odder yet happens to
be the tendency of our government to throw money at problems
that cannot be dealt with on a national level.
The drug problem is serious ,
but testing programs are definitely not the answer. Not only have
they been thrown out by the
courts as a rights violation and
found to be unreliable , but there
is another result of drug testing
that has yet to be generall y
discussed.
"Designer drugs ," synthetically produced stimulants far more

dangerous than the current street
variety , happen to be practicall y
test proof. Currently there are only a handful of labs in the country with the specialized equipment necessary to detect this
variety.
The North American Congress
on Alcohol and Drug Abuse met
last September and one of the
items discussed was designer
drugs.
This congress decided one of
the most dangerous things to occur recentl y is the stress being
placed on drug testing by the
federal government. Reason being that it will drive many from
thc current street variety into the
use of desi gner drugs.
Let it be assumed that testing
programs were adopted by the
federal , state and local governments , industry , business ,
medicine and education.
The "good" addict , faced with
the possible discovery of his current habit , will turn the dilemma
into a game and attempt to beat
the system.
Though designer drugs are far
more dangerous than what he has
been using, they will enable him
to continue with little threat of
discovery .
Some surprises were included

in this conference. There were
many statements made by professionals in the field tliat were quite
amazing.
A chemist, working eight hours
a day for a week , can produce
enough of the material to keep the
entire country supp lied for six
month s and the total ammount
will fit into three shoe boxes.
An a m o u n t of fentanyl
analogue the size of a postage
stamp can supply 1000 inmates
for a month.
The states of California and
Florida are now faced with the
designer drug problem. The
fatality rate is hi g her with these
drugs compared to others because
of the increased risk of overdose.
The fentany l analog in its pure
form is so concentrated it takes
a state-of-the-art chemist simply
to cut it. Two micro-grams , two
millionths o f a gram, is a single
dose. An amount the size of a
stamp,
60 ,000
postage
micrograms , is equal to 30,000
doses.
Considering this new problem
added to the others related with
drug testing , it seems obvious that
the practice of drug testing should
not be made universal. The cost
would be much too high.

Advisor instruction necessary
Students:
Here is an example of a current
problem at Bloomsburg . I am going to relate what happened to a
friend of mine who graduated in
December.
The end of the fall semester
was approaching and "Mark , " a
hopefij l December graduate , went
to see his advisor to make sure
everything was in order.
Mark had taken a course over
the summer at home in place of
a required course that he could
not seem to fit into his schedule.
Unfortunately , he had taken the
wrong course because of a communications mix-up with his
advisor.
Mark took his records to a second professor , hoping to find
some way out of remaining at
Bloomsburg for the spring
semester. This professor thoug ht
there would be no problem and
that the dean would waive the
course.
Then , however , this professor
noticed tliat there were courses on
his requirements sheet his advisor
had placed in the wrong
catagories.
Mark began to sweat. A
meeting was scheduled with the
dean. When it took place, the end
result was Mark pointing out that
though the mistake made during
the previous summer may have
been partially his fault , the remaining errors in his record s
were the fault of his advisor. The
dean waived the lot. Mark was
allowed to graduate.

Many advisors are not familiar
with the advising procedures and
are making mistakes that may , in
some cases , force students to extend their educations in order to
graduate .
Something must be done to correct this situation.
Perhaps it would be possible to
have seminars for professors to
instruct them properl y on the advising of students. It might be a
good idea to have students take
their materials to a second professor two or three times over the

course of their college careers to
check the recording of course
work.
Students should familiarize
themselves with what areas must
be covered and what courses are
required to graduate .
In my case , I am fortunate in
that my advisor knows exactl y
what she is doing regarding the
handling of her advisees.
Such is not the case for all
students at BU. Take the case oi
my friend as a warning.

Stereotyping wrong
Editor:
This letter is in response to
Reg istrar Kenneth Schnure 's
closing comments on "student irresponsibility " in Karen Reiss *
article in the January 29 issue of
The Voice.
Mr. Schnure " s smug response
is obviously a grossly incorrect
stereoty ping of all Bloomsburg
students who had their schedules
dropped due to their own supposed "irresponsibility . "
I' m sorry, but in my case the
burden of irresponsibility rests
with the letharg ic administration
of this university .
I signed my GSL check for
Spring '87 before going home for
Christmas break. I then made a
verbal agreement with Ms.
Laidacker at the business office.
ALL my bills would be paid, in-

cluding my community activities
fee. The balance was to be sent
to my parents home , where I
stayed over break.
a g r e e m e n t,
This verbal
needless to say , was never kept:
and unbeknownst to me, my
whole schedule was dropped.
I suppose that means I was irresponsible , right?
I then consulted Vice-President
Pantaleo on the matter and he
agreed with me.
"The verbal agreement should
have been kept and the fees
paid. " he said. "The delay was
unnecessary . "
Mr. Schnure , the next time you
feel the urge to stereotype
Bloomsburg students, exclude not
only me , but the rest of us here
who are not afraid to bite back.

ERA crude and not needed
by George Will
Editorial Columnist

Do you remember the Equal
Ri g hts Amendment? Neither did
I until reminded of its forgettable
nature by two recent Supreme
Court decisions. Both concerned
the ri ghts of pregnant women.
Both illustrated the problematic
nature of leg islative mandates of
equal treatment of the sexes.
California 's fair-employment
stiitute requires employers to provide unpaid leave and reinstatement to employees who become
pregnant. A receptionist who
took leave and then sought
reinstatement was told there was
no opening.
She complained to the state
fair-employment office , but the
employer said California 's law is
inconsistent with and preempted
by Title VII of the 1964 Civil
Ri g hts Act as amended by the
Pregnancy Disability Act (PDA)
of 1978
The
1964 act
banned
discrimination on trig basis of sex ,
but in 1976 the Supreme Court
held that discrimination on the
basis of pregnancy was not sex
discrimination under Title VII. So
in 1978 , Congress broug ht
discrimination on the basis of
pregnancy under Title VII.
The California emp loyer
argued that if it complied with
California ' s statute , it would be
vulnerable to charges of reverse
discrimination broug ht by temporary disabled males who do not
receive the same entitlement as
females disabled by pregnancy.
A district court agreed , say ing
that California 's law mandates
preferential treatment for
females; that Title VII neutrall y
bans special treatment (i.e., for
both sexes), and that state law
must y ield to federal law.
But an appeals court reversed ,
arguing tliat Title VH does not demand that state laws "be blind to
pregnancy 's existence ," and that
Congress only intended to put a

floor below which pregnancy
disability benefits will not fall ,
not a ceiling above which they
may not rise. Now the Supreme
Court has upheld that appeals
court and the woman.
In his opinion for the court ,
Justice Marshall said California 's
law merely allows women as well
as men to have families without
losing their jobs. In dissent ,
Justice White , joined by Chief
Justice Rehnquist and Justice
Powell , argued that the PDA says
clearly that pregnant employees
"shall be treated the same for all
employment-related purposes " as
non-pregnant employees. That
language "leaves no room for
preferential treatment of pregnant
workers ."
The three dissenters , generally considered conservatives, probabl y were faithful to the liberal
intention of Congress in 1978,
when "equal treatment " was
more consciously praised than
pondered . For the majority , the
liberal Marshall was doing what
conservatives often do , granting
broad deference to the discretion
of legislative branches in state
governments.
Now , suppose the ERA
("Equality of rights shall not be
denied or abrid ged by the United
States or any state on account of
sex ") had been ratified. It was
designed to trigger an avalanche
of liti gation by making almost
every social policy touching sexual status open to constitutional
challenge.
California 's statu te could then
have been challenged by the
employer as incompatible with
the ERA as well as the PDA. And
California 's statute might have
fallen , a law benefiting women
felled by the ERA , supposedly a
feminist scythe.
Ei ght days after deciding the
California case, the Supreme
Court ruled in the case of a
Missouri woman who became
pregnant and was granted , in accordance with her employer 's

policy, "leave without guarentee
of reinstatement. " When she
sought reinstatement and was told
there were no positions available,
she filed for unemployment
benefits.
She was refused because
Missouri disqualifies anyone who
leaves work "without good cause
attributable to his work or to his
employer. " Missouri ruled that
she "quit because of pregnancy,"
therefore voluntary .
A circuit court sided with the
woman , saying Missouri's law
was inconsistent with a federal
law barring the use of pregnancy as an excuse for denying
unemployment benefits to otherwise eligible women.
However, Missouri 's Supreme
Court ruled against the woman,
say ing the federal law only
prevented state law from singling
out pregnancy for unfavorable
treatment.
The U.S. Supreme Court has
now agreed , without dissent. It
has said that Missouri has an
unusually narrow definition of
what is meant by losing a job "for
good cause" (i.e., a reason
directly attributable to the work
or the employer) . However ,
pregnancy is not the only temporary disability that does not
qualify a worker for benefits.
The Missouri woman did not
claim that pregnant women were
treated unlike other workers who
became unemployed for reasons
not causally connected with their
work or their employer. Rather ,
she said the federal law mandated
special treatment for pregnancy .
Her argument was, of course, incompatible with the ERA 's "letter and spirit ."
Remember when supporters
said the ERA was needed to ' 'put
women in the Constitution "?
These two recent cases show that
the careful adjustment of policy
pertaining to the status of the
sexes can and should continue
without any such crude
instrument.

Fire procedures inefficient, inept
Editor:
I am deeply concerned about
the safety of students on our campus. Not only are the fire procedures inefficient and inept , the
administrators don 't even know
it.
Jenny Carpenter , dean of
residence life , said , "fire procedures are second nature to these
kids. " SO WHAT! If a fire starts
on the seventh floor of Columbia ,
the local fire department does not
have a ladder high enough to
rescue the girls oh the ninth floor.
Second nature or not , what can
a scared girl do in a smoke filled
room with a fire burning under
her and no way out? !
I must be fair. The town is as
much at fault as the university.
The ladder truck needed is the
community 's
Bloomsburg
responsibility, but when the local
fire department does not even
know if students practice fire
drills , the whole system is failing.
I wrote this letter because I
have been a volunteer fireman for
six years . I have seen too many
fires , too many mistakes , too

many young bodies. I do not want
another tragedy and I don 't think
anywhere near enough is being
done to avoid one.
The university does not even

know enough to take the snow off
a fire hydrant so it doesn 't freeze
up.
Praying for change ,
Scott Davis

Galaxy 's birth witnessed
From page I

Spinrad noted there is one
serious problem with observations. Radio astonomers can
detect a strong sourse of radio
signals coming from the new
galaxy , unexpected from an object that is so young .
Theory holds the source for
such noise is likely to be a supermassive black hole- a collapsed
object containing the mass of 1
billion suns- near the galaxy 's
center. "So that's a part of the
story that's a bit surprising,"
Spinard said . "Everyone thought
that that took a long time to hap ^

pen.
Black holes, incidently , are
former massive stars or galaxies
that have collapsed inward on
themselves, creating such a
strong gravitational field that
nothing, not even light , can
escape. Thus the name black
hole.
Collaborating with Spinrad and

Casablanca:A timeless Bogart/Bergman classic
take passage to the Americas.This
Michael Curtiz directed , Hal
Wallis produced film is set during WWII , at a time before Allied
troops made it famous.
The story line is relatively simple. A neutral American , Rick ,
(Hump hrey Bogart) proprietor of
the hottest nightlclub in Casablanca , appears as the hardened ,
callous victim of some past
experience.
Years before he had a passionate love affair with Ilsa , a
beautifu l
widow
(Ingrid
Bergman) in Paris. The day
before the Nazis were to storm
the city , the two lovers vowed to
escape by train together.

by Lisa Celini
Staff Writer

Warner Brothers ' timeless
classic Casablanca has been acclaimed throughout the years , but
not because it is a first rate film.
It is one of the best examp les of
pre-1950' s exotica , and shows off
the cream of Hollywood's legendary stars. Therefore , this movie
will always be hailed as one of the
all time greats.
In the 1930's, the city of
Casablanca in the French province of Morocco had been a
desperate whistle stop for
refugees fleeing the Nazis by
means of underground railway to
Lisbon , where they could safel y

However, with little notice, and

practically no explanation , Ilsa
did not show up, leaving Rick to
go on alone and save himself.
Later , in the midst of his indifferent life, Ilsa reappears with her
husband Victor Laszlo (Paul
Henreid), leader of the anti-Nazi
European underground. They are
seeking passports from Casablanca to go to Lisbon in order to save
Victor from being killed so that
he may continue his work in
America.
Ilsa discovers Rick has two
valid visas and naturally, the
situation becomes uncomfortable.
It is obvious that both are still in
love , and trying to get over their
previous
affair.
After three or four interludes

Squealer 's Corner

Some thoughts on social drinking
is self-deteating, as one invariabl y winds up more alone
than any other activity could provide (except , perhaps , oneni ghters , which is another story).
Oh , sure , we may feel as
though we 're having a good time,
but the eventual truth and realization of our current state sobers us
up with Time.
But that possibility of finding
Mr. or Mrs . Right seems to increase with the amount of consumables that we ingest , doesn 't
it? Alcohol makes people do
some ridiculous things , not the
least of which is embarassmg
themselves and others , further
negating their chances of meeting
someone who might be a 'potential candidate . '
Now , to those of you in the drinking populace who go out to have
a good time with friends and are
not concerned with meeting
anyone , I agree that it is commonly done (but you can 't please
all of the people all of the time).
But I strongly feel that a majority of our college community
uses the consumption of alcohol ,
whether it be downtown or in the
privacy of their own dorm room ,
for reasons that are often emo-

Dave Burian
Well , folks , what was I really
missing? My forays into the
'mysterious ' world of the bar
scene have proven occasionally
exciting, as well as financially
draining and emotionally unsatisfy ing. But why is this so?
The answer lies in the reason
for going out in the first place.
And what could that be , ladies
and germs , but to seek out
members of the opposite sex?
Yes , let 's face it , whether we
go out alone or in packs of 5 or
12, our motives and intentions are
the same, unless we 're totall y
depressed about something and
want to drown our sorrows.
But that purpose of 'going out '

tionally futile.
Unfortunately, there are few
alternatives that provide the excitement and silly atmosphere that
will permeate a rowdy crowd of
drunken students .
That is , if you can stand the
sweat, breath , and smoke that are
all too often essential qualities of
'having a good time ' .
Oh , occasionally, someone
meets someone else and Love has
it 's way with them (or they with
each other) .
But most of the time , students
stumble homeward , seemingly
none the worse for wear, and
don 't seem to mind if they miss
Biology or that 9:00 Econ. class

Since I was underage for most
of my college years (now , all 5
of them) I was fortunate enough
to remain somewhat afloat gradewise (though on the verge of sinking fast) .
But now , as I look back with
fond heart and cherish the
memories of the girls who so
willingly gave up their gastric
contents as I lovingly held them
over some toilet , I smile and
think , 'So what was I really
missing?'

touching way to end a movie.
However, the other characters
of the film were virtuall y unnecessary to the plot. The traditionall y famous villians , Sydney
Greenstreet , Peter Lorre, and
Conrad Veidt played such small
parts that they were evidently
written into the script for the mere
sake of appearance.
With Holl ywood' s 1940\s
fascination for "cops and robbers " thrillers , nearly every film
producing company tried a hand
a t a "Casablanca. " But by lifting
a "Casablanca 'to the actual
scene, something dies. The movie
does not drool the sin and local
color of the area in the 1930's.
As one watched the story unfold , it became clear that some ol
the most famous Holl ywood

script lines were used in the film.
None are known to characterize
Bogart as well as "Here's looking at you , kid. "
Although as a whole, the movie
was not first rate, specific portions of it support themselves.
Excluding the climax ofth e story,
the most emotional scene occurred in Rick' s Cafe. The Germans
had boisterously begun to bellow
thc tunc of "Horst Wessel ,"
when every French citizen in the
ni ghtclub stood up, led by Laszlo,
and drowned out the Germans
with "Marseillaise. "
These self-supportive classic
scenes and scri pt lines ,

Bogart 's brute passion will

BTE wrapped ep in a Scandal
by Anne Richardson
Theater Correspondent

The School For Scandal, by
Richard Sheridan , proves that
gossip spans all time to bring
great fun to the '80's. It is a
criticism of the 1 6th centu ry
which still holds true today .
The school's talented cast slowly unfolds a plot that is quite intertwined yet devilishly dazzling .
At first the play is slow moving
and hard to understand but once
warmed up it breaks the speed
limit of comedy.
The play has four separate sets
that revolve. The first set of Lady
Sneerwell' s Salon is the most
elaborate and decorative. The
decor gives the impression of a
woman of means. Sir Peter
Teazle 's parlor is not quite so extravagant, but neither is Sir Peter.
The set reflects high society with
fresh cut flowers in tlie winter and
the conservative chairs . Charles
Surface 's parlor resembles a bar
where he does most of his drink-

Surface 's library . It looks like a
set and not like library . The closet
in the room is bare . For a man
of such hi gh fashion one would
expect somehting to be in it.
The School For Scandal is
about an elite group of the upper
class who pass the day defaming
the characters of everyone in
town. The president ofthe school
is Lady Sneerwell , played by
Lynn Balesteri , whose haughty
voice is perfect for her character ,
but at times hard to understand .
Her students include Sir Benjamin Backbite , an extremel y
flamboyant young man who is the
know-all of gossip. Gerard Stropnicky makes his character complete from his sli ghtly feminine
movements to his li ghthearted air.
His Uncle Crabtree , portrayed by
John Emmert , delights in his

nephew s knowledge of all the
dirt of society . These two are a
fine pair for laughs and should
not be missed. The school would
not be complete without the
divine Mrs. Candor. She is a
woman of , supposedly, high
values. She would never speak a
word of gossip-she only reports
the news she hears . Leigh

The Inside Cover

Local rockers make it a Synch

Ken Kirsch
Local rock has once again graced my ears as I continue my
search for the ultimate in musical
genius , or something like that.
Wilkes-Barre has spawned
Synch , a pop sextet with a
suspicious Journey /REO soiind.
Though they have been labeled as
a clone of these acts , Synch's
music has a uniqueness of production which sets it apart from
these bands.
Part of the reason these guys
don 't fit into the category of normal pop stars is that they aren 't.
I spoke with vocalist Jim Harnen
at a recent WHLM radio interview with Eddie Collins. They
come off like the guys next door
who p lay in their parents
basement—a real down-home
bunch who don 't have the big
heads of someone like Steve
Perry .
Last summer their first single ,
"Where Are You Now ," hit the
Billboard charts and made it to
number 77 nationally. Not bad
for a bunch of coal region boys.
At the time, they were hooked up
with Columbia records. That 's

when the flying you-know-what
hit the fan . Crooked manager
Fred Disipio got involved in a
Payola-type scandal including
some DJ payoffs and they subsequently soon to be dropped by
Columbia.
"Our contract with Columbia
is soon to run out , and they don 't
seem to be interested in renewing it ," Harnen said.
They hav e rebounded , though
and are currently being picked up
by Arista and released their first
album , Get the Feelin '.
With the new record company
came a new look for the band .
Labeled early on as looking like
"a bunch of schoolyard basketball players, " Synch have changed their hair and wardrobe and
are beg inning to take on the look
of real rock stars , at least on
stage. During the interview they
looked quite the normal guys.
A few young female fans
summed up their enthusiasm over
the new Synch after a recent concert. What 's so special about the
group?
"They 're so gorgeous ," said
one.
"Their music is really, really
good , " said another.
"And their make-up. "
"Their hair. "
"Their everything !" exclaimed another.
Get the Feelin ' is no musical
masterpiece by any means, but it
is an honest piece of viny l put
together by some talented , determined rockers who 've endured
some music industry hardships
and have come out the better for
it.

The album has a crisp, polished sound with some real biting
rock guitar which seperates it
from Journey or similar 80's
wimp bands have done recently .
They actually remind me more of
Steel Breeze (remember them?)
REO
or
than
Journey
Volkswagen , especiall y on
"Don 't Stop Believin. "
Guitarist John Lorrance, who
has an affinity for p laying
"loud , " provides some good
heavy guitar backing, blending
nicely . with key boardists Bill
Kossuth and Chuck Yarney .
How loud does Lorrance like
his guitar?
Explains Harnen , "We'd go to
shows where the music would be
so loud that we 'd have to cover
our ears , and John would just be
standing there nodding his head ,
saying 'yeah , this is cool, I'm into
it. ' "
The rest of the band include
Drummer Rich Kossuth and
renowned piano/bedpan, salesman
Mike Warner on bass. Warner
couldn 't make it to the interview
due to his career dedication.
Get the Feelin ' contains a nice
live version o f' 'Where Are You
Now ," and "Playin ' a Game, "
both recorded at Ceton Catholic
High School , and is available in
local record stores as well as bigger ones out at malls and such.
With any luck , Synch should
make it big. Their unfortunate
past is behind them , so it 's full
speed ahead from here. Look for
Synch to possibly play here at BU
soon , as they 've expressed -.a
desire to do so.
Come on down , guys, we'd be
glad to have ya.

gossip and fashion. He still loves
her but she loves Joseph Surface.
Ironically, Sir Peter suspects his
wife of cheating on him with
Charles Surface and hold Joseph
in the highest esteem. Whit
MacLaughlin portrays this
trouble-stricken man with great
ease. His rapport with the audience as well as with the other
characters is hilarious. Finally
there is Snake, brilliantly played
by Andrew Hubatsek. Snake
serves as a vehicle between the
two plots and is rarely seen on

stage. However, he leaves an
everlasting impression. His conniving sneer and devilish slither
give him fuji title to .his name. He
is terribly good at being terribl y
bad.
Director Martin Shell did a fantastic job of pulling all these
things together to produce a comedy hit. This is a show to see.

Owls help incoming BU students

by Susan Hanshaw
for Ihe Voice

The traditional perception of an
owl is one who is old and wise.
At Bloomsburg University ,
however, such a description is not
quite as accurate . Because at
Bloomsburg , OWLS (Orientation
Workshop Leaders) are enthusiastic student leaders who are
willing to dedicate their time to
hel ping freshmen through difficult college transitions.
Within the last two years , the
summer orientation progra m has
undergone some changes which
involve the Owls in the life of incoming freshmen , even more . In
addition to giving a campus tour
and conducting group discussions , the workship leaders now
stay in the dorms with their group
eat meals with them , and follow
up on the students' progress in the
fall semester.
A student leader must possess
a rartge of qualities. These include a-committment to teamwork ," the flexibility to adjust to
new people and situations , a sense
of responsibility , and a genuine

interest in people. Above all ,
however , an Owl must be one
who takes initiative serving as an
effective and responsible leader
and role model.
One of the partici pating Owls
from last summer had the following to say : "Student leaders need
to instill in the incoming students
a desire to reach out and grow.
My main goal is to help them
learn how to learn . "
The Orientation Center in Ben
Franklin which organizes the program and supervises the Owls is
looking for applicants who are
friendl y, eager and interested in
people. In addition to these ,
however , applicants need to meet
the following requirements:
-completed two semesters
-a cum of at least 2.2
-a record of good conduct
-able to work in June and Jul y
The Orientation Center has
clarified that applicants need not
be financial aid recipients . They
must , however , fill out) all the
proper application forms to be
considered .
Interested students can first
consult their student organizations

for more details. Also, an information session will be held on
Feb. 24 in the Green Room of
Kehr Union at 9 p.m. A video
will be shown at the meeting.
Students who would like to be
an Owl can pick up an application at the Orientation Center
which will make them available
starting Feb. 6. The deadline for
submitting the forms is April 1.
Those selected are paid and will

By being an Owl , one not only
has the chance to help others , but
the uni que opportunity to help
one 's self. This occurs through
learning about leadershi p and
making friends , while creating
memories and having fun. One
student leader commented on her
positive experience as an Owl:
"Because of our training, I felt
confident that I could handle
questions and problems. That
confidence is still obvious in me.
My friends and parents noticed
the difference. "

Outrage ous
From page 4

and out in Beverly Hills and
Ruthless People, but do not expect the satirical thrust of those
movies. This is a very broad
comedy-adventure, pure and simple , in which the laughs come
with gratifying regularity , much
as they did in Hiller 's The InLaws and Silver Streak.
Long and Midler are so good
they almost make us forget that
Outrageous Fortune is yet
another elaborate chase chase
movie with the usual comic CIA
and KGB stooges and vast ,
familiar stretches of Southwestern
deserts.
Dixon shrewdly develops
Lauren and Sandy 's highly individual personalities with great
care, then permits Long and
Midler to show how , once they
are thrown together in the craziest
of circumstances, the two could
actually become friends. There is
a nice woman behind Lauren 's
pretensions, just as there is a

warmth and vulnerability beneath
Sandy 's brassy facade.
Lauren has met this terrific guy
Michael (Peter Coyote) who puts
a swift end to her celibacy. He is
handsome, debonair , a great
lover and single. At the moment
she is succumbing to his charms ,
she wonders if he is not too good
to be true. How very right she is.
Not in her wildest dreams could
she imagine the complications
that arise from such a seeming
idyll , beginning with the
discovery that she is sharing him
with Sandy, of all people. Clearly, Michael is not the man he
seems.
Because Outrageous Fortune is
anchored in the reality that Long
and Midler bring so smashingly
to Lauren and Sandy, the film can
take off into ever wilder and
woollier antics without flying out
of control: To be able to believe
in Lauren and Sandy is to be able
to go along with all that befalls
them.

D9________________________ fv

Others are in the pitching, too:
Coyote is the sexy heavy you love
to hate; Prosky is also amusingly not quite what he seems; and
George Carlin brightens up the
second half of the picture as a
laughably spaced-out hippie who
is never recovered from the 60's.
In black ti ghts , high heels and
baggy sweaters, Midler looks terrifi c and seems to have
discovered her screen identity as
a character actress. Long continues to be one of the loveliest ,
most intelligent and charmingly
funny actresses on the screen.
Comedies that work are too rare
not to be grateful for , but
Outrageous Fortune (MPAArated: R) does make you eager to
see Long and Midler re-teamed
in a movie for grown-ups.
Editor 's note: Outrageous Fortune has just recently come into
the Cap ita l in downtown
Bloomsburg. Showtimes are 7
and 9:20 with a Sunday bargain
matinee at 2 PM.

Salaries hurting baseball economy

of you who don 't get this publication , go borrow the copy at the

Saturday ni ght the women 's
basketball team upped their conference record to 7-1 with an
88-82 victory over visiting
Shippensburg .
The Huskies were led by
sophomore Theresa Lorenz i and
Carla Shearer who combined for
56 of the teams 88 points .
Lorenzi tied the school record
for points in a game with 35 (it
was her .. own record) , while
Shearer poured in a career hi gh
21.
Both shot over 50 percent from
the floor and only missed one free
throw between the two of them.
Bloomsburg scored the games
fu st eight points by using their
1-2-1-1 full court press to create
tu rnovers .
They scored many of their
points off of the fast break and
quickly built a 32-11 advantage.
With the BU starters on the
bench , Shippensburg went on a
run and cut the margin to 42-34
at the half.
In the second half Lorenzi and
Shearer combined for 30 of their
56 points to lead the way .
The lead never went below ten
points until the waning seconds.
This was mostly due to the clutch
foul shooting of Shearer who

THE FAR SIDE

canned 5 of 6 down the stretch to
seal the victory .
Joining Lorenzi and Shearer in
double figures was Amy Wolf
with 10. She and Sue Kocher led
the Huskies in rebounds with 11
and 10 respectively.
Shippensburg had four girls in
double figures. They were led by
Teddi Hesser who scored 24. She
was followed by Ruth McCraw
with 18, Dina Lucci had 11 and
Chris Ricci had 10.
HOOP SCOOPS :
Carla Shearer led the team with
six assists and with those six
needs only eight more to become
the all-time leader at Bloomsburg
in that category . She also had a
team high five steals...Theresa
Lorenzi shot 73 percent from the
floor this game (17-23), while
grabbing five board s and dishing
out two assists...Amy Wolf had
another all-around performance;

assists, two blocked shots and two
steals...

dollar salaries to fight for a
million.
Let's take the case of Detroit
Ti gers' pitcher Jack Morris.
Although he does tend to complain a lot during the season , he
also has been one of the most
dominating hurlers over the last
several years .
With his contract having expired at the end of the 1986
season , Morris had high hopes of
be ing rewarded with an
astronomical salary from the
Ti gers .
Detroit , though , had other
plans and promptly insulted Morris ' pride with a $500,000 raise
to 1 .35 million dollar salary . Of
course Morris said no, who
wouldn 't?
He thoug ht he could get some
other idiot owner to shell him out
all the dough he wanted . Who did

he go to? I did say idiot owner,
so of course I' m refering to
George Steinbrenner.
But for once, Georgie said ,
"No way , Jose. " All of a sudden , poor Jack Morris couldn 't
find anyone willing to pay him
the exorbitant amount of money
he wanted for next year.
He had to blame someone for
his problem , so he decided to accuse the baseball owners of being in collusion to end the high
salaries that had so often been
given out in the past.
Even if it 's true, can you blame
them? So now poor , picked-upon
Jack Morris has no choice but to
go to salary arbitration and hope
the judge will give him what he
wants .
I feel sorry for the guy , I really do. I can see him in bed
wondering to himself, 'Why me?

Why does the system have to
change just as I'm about to take
advantage of it?'
The important point, though, is
that thfe system had to change. No
business in the world can afford
to constantly pay its employees
million dollar salaries. It was just
a matter of time before baseball
realized it.
The change had to start
somewhere, and unfortunately for
Jack Morris, it started with him.
Now , it will continue with other
players until salaries finally come
down. The players will just have
to accept this fact and realize that
as much fun as baseball is, it is
still a business.
If this didn 't happen , could you
imagine salaries getting so bad
that a player of the likes of Mike
Schmidt getting a salary of twenty
million dollars a year??

Randy Keinard .
"I went to YMCA Nationals in
Florida my four years in hi gh
school ," Youndt said . "M y
senior year I ended up 24th in the
nation
in
the
100-yard
backstroke , " she added .
Youndt
credits
her
achievements to Keinard , say ing,
"He was very supportive and
hel ped me a lot while I swam for
him. "
As for swimming at the college
level , Youndt said she feels a lot

more pressure than she felt while
swimming for the YMCA.
"Coach Rider has helped me a
lot with my confidence," she
said. "Also, the team is very supportive of each other. "
Youndt said she looks up to
junior Beth Roeder because, "she
is just so good. "
With four meets left before the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference meet on February 19-2 1,
Youndt , with the help of Coach
Rider , has set some goals for

herself.
"One is winning the conference meet in the 100 and 200
backstroke," Youndt confessed.
The other , she said , is making the
top six at Nationals in March in
the 100 backstroke.
Only time and hard work will
tell whether Youndt reaches her
competitive goals. However, one
thing is for sure, she has already
"hit the bottom. " Now she can
only move up.

Beware Olympic ski fans
by Charlie Meyers

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Ski enthusiasts who plan an independent tour of the 1988
Calgary Winter Olympics might
pause to reconsider. Anyone who
doesn 't have a ticket already is
out of luck for many of the prime
^
events .
The sold-out sign has gone up
for the men 's downhill , slalom
and giant slalom , along with the
90-meter jump and all freesty le
events , except ballet.
"There are several others
which are getting close. The demand has been tremendous, " said
Gary Arthur , press secretary of
the organizing committee for the
February 13-28 event.
In addition , all tickets for figure
skating , speed skating, and all
medal-round hockey events have
been sold. Calgary officials are
considering spending 1.5 million
dollars to add 2,600 seats to the
16,500-seat Saddledome, prin-

Bressi 2-4 0-0 4, Decker 1-1 0-0 2,

38-73 12-15 88

cipal site for figure skating and
hockey .
A majority of those extra seats
will go to those who already have
their names on a waiting list, but
a quick phone call may be sufficient to snag a ticket or two.
Calgary has allotted 77 percent
of its tickets to the public; the rest
are reserved for "official family '," members of the organizing
committee , the International
Olympic Committee, and special
guests.
A substantial percentage of the
public tickets were snapped up by
travel agencies and tour
operators , who are selling them
as part of a total lod ging and
transportation package.
It is still possible to obtain
tickets to prime events, but not if
you want to go it alone on the
other arrangements .
The unexpected ticket rush has
the organizers pondering many
solutions, ranging from creating
more standing room to actually

nnnm expanding some of the venues.

BU coaches
help, hinder
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

Bloomsburg University is
very fortunate to have such
a wide variety of competitive sports programs.
From wrestling to field
hockey to football , all have
been nationally ranked in
their respective divisions in
the past.
My job as sports editor is
to organize and present information on these teams
for your consumption. This
job is made easier by the
very dedicated coaches that
Athletic Director Roger
Sanders has assembled.
In his stable are such
veterans
as
Charles .
Chronister and himself ,
newcomers Joe Bressi ,
Dave Rider and Pete Adrian
and legends such as Jan
Hutchinson.
These coaches have been
nothing short of hel pful
since I became Sports
Editor and I appreciate it.
Yet there has been an incident that has developed
that I would like to quell
now before it gets out of
hand.
Recentl y when I requested that one of my staff
accompany a team to an
away game , at his own expense ,
the
coach
replied ,"..it 'll be better if
he just stays here and reads
the Press-Enterprise tomorrow. He can find out what
happened that way ."
The coach then accused
me of 'catch the wave ' journalism or , well , they won a
few games I ought to have
someone do a story .
This cannot be further
form the truth. As any back
issue of The Voice will
show , every sport has been
covered in some capacity in
each issue.
Most of the time I myself
have covered both men 's
and women 's basketball
games while my greatly appreciated and oustanding
staff has covered wrestling
and swimming.
In fact when Dave Sauter
and I took over the sports
helm, the first thing we tried
to eliminate was the constant rumors that we actually did rewrite old PressEnterprise stories instead of
attending
the
event
personally.
I beleive we have accomplished that and now
must improve our coverage
of this university 's prolific
programs .
Improvement is not possible if coaches suggest we
read a paper no better than
ourselves (except that it
comes out seven times to
our twice a week) to get
information.
In the future I will attempt
to provide quality coverage
on Bloomsburg 's teams as
well as other major sporting
events as they occur.
Athletics is for the fans ,
not the players, and it is my
job to tell the fans what 's
going on.
My only request is that
the coaches realize that I am
just doing my job in the best
way I see fit and that they
cooperate with us as they
have in the past so that I
won 't have to pen another
column of this type again.

The good outside shooting of
Williams and Stepanski put the
game away during this stretch.
Bloomsburg coasted the rest of
the way to win their fifth game
in a row.
Coach Chronister commented
on the improvement of his team.
' 'We were a bunch of people introducing ourselves to each other
at the beginning of the year ,
because no one on the floor
played together with the excep-

tion of (Mike) Simpkins and (Bill)
Connelly...in that point-of-view ,
we made strides. "
"Just because we 've won five
in a row , we can 't get too excited
about it because it was only a
month ago that we stunk out the
place. So we can 't overreact to
what we're doing . I just hope that
we continue to go in a positive
direction. "
The win keeps the Huskies
alone in second place in the
PSAC East with a 6-2 mark, 11-8

overall , while Shippensburg 's
loss drops them to 2-6 in the conference and a 6-11 record overall.
The Huskies now have what
Chronister calls a big test for his
team this week as Bloomsburg
hosts a non-conference opponent

The Huskies then travel to

head on the bottom of the pool in
Nelson Fieldhouse.
"I had to wear a neck brace for
two days and had to stay out of

recently said.

The worst part of the whole incident , claimed the tall, lean
freshman , was sitting out of the
first meet of the season.
'T had to take splits on the deck
during my first collegiate meet of
the season ," Youndt added with
some disappointment.
However, when she finally did

made up for her pre-season set

At a meet with Navy, Youndt
made an impressive debut by

Bloomsburg men cagers dominate Red Raiders

by Lincoln Weiss
Staff Wri ter

Freshman John Williams had a
game hi gh 17 points in
Bloomsburg 's 79-58 win over the
Red Raiders of Shippensburg
Saturday night.
Williams play fro m the beg inning of the year to now has been
a steady improvement. Early in
the year Williams had problems
scoring points , mainly due to his
adjustment to the new system.
But now as the team is working as a unit , Williams has scored
in double fi gures the last five
games.
"Early in the season , I was
timid as to when to shoot and
when not to shoot, but I got a better feel of Coach Chronister , "
says Williams .
When I shoot and I m not
supposed to shoot he pulls me out
and he talks to me and that brings
my mind back together cause I
don 't want to be out there rushing
(his shots)" .
It didn 't look as thoug h
Williams would play a major role

in Saturday s game as Alex
Nelcha
scored
six
of
Bloomsburg 's first eight points .
A quick time-out was called by
Shippensburg 's coach Rodger
Goodling to set up a defense for
inside play . This change apparently worked as Nelcha did
not score the rest of the game.
With the score tied at 10 with
15:57 to go in the first half , the
Huskies made a 18-4 run in the
next ten minutes of the game.
Williams scored seven of his
first half ten in that stretch , including a follow-up of his own
miss to put the Huskies up 28-14.
Strong play and key buckets by
BU' s Matt Wilson put the
Huskies on to a 37-20 lead at the
half.
Shippensburg scored first in the
second half to cut the lead to 15,
but never got any closer as the
Huskies built leads ofas much as
26 points.
Both teams played sloppy and
turned the ball over many times.
Shippensburg shot horrendousl y

conference championshi p meet.
John Supsic finished fourth at
118, Dave Kennedy took third at
126, and Darrin Cummings captured third at 134.
Marty King clinched fourth at

The Fighting Irish of Notre
Dame (14-5) pulled out a narrow
come fro m behind miracle on
Sunday afternoon in South Bend ,
Indiana , deth roning the number
one ranked Tar Heels of North
Carolina , 60-58.
Contrary to popular belief ,
however , the Tar Heels are still
the best team in the country .
After trainling by as much as
16 in the first half , the Irish cut
it to nine at halftime.
North Carolina was without
All-American point guard Kenny
Smith who was sidelined at least
two weeks due to a knee injury
suffered in a practice sesson.
They had to rely on J.R. Reid
and Joe Wolf for most of their offensive production. Dave Popson
suffered a knee injury early in the
second half and sat out the rest of
the contest.
The second half was a see-saw
battle, watching David Rivers and
company finally take the lead
with only a coup le of minutes remaining in the game.

Rivers , the flashy point guard
for the Irish , was totally shut
down in the first half by a brilliant
defensive effort on the part of
Ranzino Smith .
The second half was a complete
turnaround , however , with
Rivers taking control and leading
his team to an amazing come

Michigan an Saturday in Ann Arbor , Iowa lost their chance to
