Gobora, Anthony battle for
CGA presidential position
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

Candidates for the Community Government Association
Presidency debated last night in
front of an audience of students .
Ed Gobora , current CGA VicePresident and Tau Kappa Epsilon
President , and Bob Anthony , current CGA senator were the partici pants in the debate .
They began the discussion by
introducing themselves and defining their ideas of the CGA
presidency.
Anthony said ,"Although it is
my first semester on CGA , I feel
that anyone could be CGA President without ever being on the
CGA. "
He felt that the most important
quality was to be highly communicative between the CGA , the
administration and the students.
"My job is to run the meetings
correctly, always be honest and
never turn a student 's question
away ," he stated .

Gobora cited dedication to the
job as the most important element
of the job , "It is his responsibility to attend to the needs of the
community and the campus. "
When the first subject of
discussion , that being the problem of on-campus parking , was
brought up by current CGA
President Tim Keffer , Gobora addressed the issue by reading a
prepared statement.
"This is a major issue right
now and we must resolve it , more
parking must be provided , "
Gobora claimed.
A n t h o n y mentioned the
possibility of temporary parking
tags for faculty who have more
than one car , instead of the usual
permanent tags.
When questioned on the pro posal of a restricted area of driving, (i.e. anyone living outside a
certain radius of the school could
not drive their cars , but must
walk) both men agreed that they
would not support any such
proposal.

"It was originally defeated
because of the lack of student
representation at our summer
meetings on the subject , " Gobora
stated .
However, Gobora failed to fully explain why the meetings were
held in the summer, when no
representation of those affected
could be in attendance.
Anthony then responded to the
question of possible institutional
racism on the Bloomsburg University campus.
"I don 't see the problem , perhe
sonally
speaking, "
began , "but if I were in the position of CGA president , I would
certainly talk to minority groups
and would have to be put in a
situation to speak to those affected. "
Gobora , reading from another
prepared statement , said , "The
problem is in communication , "
and stated that we must communicate more effectively.

f orhigh academic achievement

Staff Writer

Certificates commending
outstanding academic achievement were given to 465 students
at the Academic Awards reception Monday night sponsored by
Residence Life.
,
Students recognized earned a
grade point average of 3.25 or
higher last semester and live in
the residence halls.
University President Dr. Harry
Ausprich , in his opening
remarks , commended these
students for their excellent progress in their academic efforts.
He continued by describing some
of the changes that have taken
p lace within the university .
"I think , in large measure,
what we see before all of us this
evening is an excellent reflection
of change in the very best sense, "
Dr. Ausprich said. "You all
make a conscience decision that
you will not be content with what
you are and with what we are .
You want to engage in
stimulating an ongoing change to
grow , develop, and become
more... aware of all things that
a university has to offer... . "
The reception was planned and

organized by Assistant Director
of Residence Life Linda Zyla, the
senior Resident Advisor staff.
Senior RAs from Elwell are Cindy Cantagallo and Carla
Marsteller , from Columbia ,
Audra Covey , and from Lycoming, Maureen Kennedy . From
Luzerne, the senior RA is Ernie
Payne, and Tony Dgien is the
senior RA in Montour.
Mike Schuler , an accounting
major at BU , was one of the
many students honored.
"I thought it was really great
for the university administrators
to take their time to congratulate
us for our hard work ," Schuler
said. He added that he was happy to see that so many students
attended.
Other students expressed
similar feeling towards the
awards.
Ann Druce, a Resident Advisor
from Elwell, said she thought the
reception was "a good idea but
it was too long ." She suggested
the elimination of calling each
recipiant up front for the
certificate.
In his closing remarks, Vice
President for Student Life Dr.
Gerrold Griffis remined the
students that "we have a special

institution ," and one of the
reasons it is so special is that the
faculty "care about those in the
classroom. "
He added that the students being honored were special also
because they have done
something that "many , many
students on this campus will
never accomplish. "
The Academic Awards
ceremony , which was held in the
individual residence halls for the
last two years, was conducted in
line D of the Scranton Commons.
Resident Director of Elwell
Hall Sue Stevens said the change
was made to make it easier on the
"*
faculty speakers.
"In the past , some speakers
were attending several different
awards receptions on different
nights ," she said.
Also , the seperate award
ceremonies were inconvenient for
Dr. Ausprich who made it a point
to try to attend all of them .
Stevens added that Residence
Life would like to see the
Academic Awards become a
"prestegious " event that will
continue for years to come.
The certificates were handed
out to the students by representatives of the various academic
departments.

The Bloomsburg Hosp ital experienced a mini baby boom in
1986. The total number of babies
for the year was 496, the largest
number in five years .
"1986 showed a considerable
increase over 1985 when 425
births were reg istered, " said T.
Clark Corson M.D. chairman ot
the Obstetrics Department at the
Bloomsburg Hosp ital.
Corson noted that in the 23
years he has been with the
hosp ital , not a sing le mal practice
suit has been file against the
Obstetrics Department.
Molly Brown , of Berwick , new
mother of a health y baby boy ,
chose Bloomsbur g Hosp ital
because "I heard good reports
about the nursing staff. The nursing staff is wonderful. It came
out better than I expected. "
With the increase in the
number of babies born at the
hospital , the workload of the staff
nurses has increased , but according to Bonnie Johns , Head
Nurse
of
Obstetrics
at
Bloomsburg Hosp ital , "the extra
hours are spent to compliment the

Obstetrics unit.
Bloomsburg Hosp ital offers
prenatal classes taug ht by the
hosp ital staff. Here the expectant
mothers are shown the delivery
process , taug ht exercises to
strengthen the future mothers for
labor , and introduced to breathing
techni ques to make giving birth
easier. Husbands or coaches are
encouraged to attend classes.
Also, the feelings of the babies '
siblings are taken into account.
The hosp ital sets no age restrictions for visiting , only an appointment is necessary . Brothers and
sisters of the newborn receive a
new T- shirt that reads
"Bloomsburg Hosp ital- That ' s
my
bab y
where
I got
brother/sister. "
A future goal of the Obstetrics
Department is to start a siblings
class where childre n could learn
about the changes the baby will
bring to the famil y.
Also hel p ing enhance the
Obstetrics Department is the
Stork Club. Throug h the club ,
mothers can receive information
about prenatal care , learn how to
p lan ahead for the child' s birth
and receive sample products that
they will become exposed to with
the baby .

Senateapproval given
f or state speed limits
by Richard C. Paddock
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The Senate , acknowledging
that the 55-mph speed limit is
making lawbreakers out of most
American motorists , voted Tuesday to let states raise the maximum speed to 65 mph on rural
interstate highways.
Led by senators from the expansive West , the Senate agreed
by a vote of 65-33 to increase the
limit despite concerns that it
would add to the death toll on the
nation 's hi ghways.
"This is a law broken daily by
ej /erybody ," Sen. Alan K. Simpson , R-Wyo., said in urg ing his
colleagues to allow the states to
set their own speed limits

Professor George Turner continued his dinner lecture series on
the Nuclear Arms Race on Tuesday . His lecture was an informal
lecture and slide presentation on
the Iceland Summit and President
Reagan 's Strategic Defense Initiative System.
"In the Nuclear Arms Race ,
every stage is more expensive and
more sophisticated , and yet
brings us no more sense of security. " Turner said .
The key Rekjavik Summit ,
commonly called the Iceland
Summit, began as a meeting for
Reagan and Gorbachev to once
again discuss proposals on cutting
back on the production of nuclear
arms. When the two leaders sat
down face to face , Gorbachev
was well prepared because he did
his homework , but Reagan had
neglected study ing and was unprepared for what was about to
happen. The President suffered a
loss of words when the Soviet
leader proposed a plan that would
eliminate all nuclear weapons
within the period of 10 years.
This proposal never became
reality because of S.D.I, because
it deals with placing a defense
system into space which would
shield the United States from
Soviet attack. S.D.I, initiated a
verbal battle which consumed
much of the Summit and resulted
in no decision when the deadline
arrived.
Professor Turner pointed out
that the Summit also sparked a
controversy within the U.S.
whether or not to continue with
M.A.D. or enact S.D.I..
Mutual Assured Destruction
(M.A.D.), which the U.S. currently relies on , works on the
idea that neither the U.S. or the
U.S.S.R. will commence an attack because total destruction will
not occur and a counter attack
would be launched.
Proponents for S.D.I, believe
that M.A.D. is no longer needed
because S.D.I, would not onl y
protect the U.S., but also put an
end to Soviet aggression and
eliminate the need for nuclear
weapons.
"A conservative estimate of
S.D.I, is over $100 billion ,"
stated Turner , "That would
economicall y overload our nation , and the Soviet Union who
would take countermeasures. "
The concluding lecture about
the churches ' views on the arms
race will be on Tuesday,
February 10 in the Pennsy lvania
Room of the Scranton Commons.

Commentary
Words in explanation
The purpose of an editorial is
to illustrate a position on a particular issue. Today , however ,
the purpose of this space is to provide an exp lanation as to why a
certain word was used on this
page.
Normall y, the use of profanity
on the editorial or any page is
avoided. The policy of thi s paper
is not to include such word s when
received in a letter to the editor

or a guest column.
Today , however , the rules are
being "bent " because of the
nature of the usage. Poetry usually will be found on the features
pages. In this case , however , the
poetry makes an all-too-relevant
political statement and therefore
qualifies as an opinion instead of
art.
The decision to include this bit
of profanity stems from the fact

that it involves onl y one word and
the extreme importance of that
particular word toward the meaning of the poem.
A second reason for not running an editorial today is the content of this particular editorial
page. There is enough opinion on
this page .
Little need is seen to complicate this page with another opinion. Or have I already?

The romance of West Side Story stops on the st reets

by George Wiil

Editorial Columnist

Detective Lt. Bob Ruchhoft
puts another tooth pick where the
last one was , beneath his sli ghtl y droop ing salt-and-pepper
moustache that makes him look
as morose as he has a ri ght to be
but isn 't. A policeman 's lot is not
a happy one when he is head of
the gang-activity section.
His job reminds of the IBM
commercial in which the Charlie
Chaplin look-alike strugg les to
put the cakes in boxes as fast as
an accelerating conveyor belt
rushes cakes at nim. Gang
members "are coming off the line
faster than we can catch them. "
In 1986, gang-related crime increased more than 20 percent in
this city. The body count of the
murdered approaches 200, about
one killing per gang. Many victims were innocent bystanders of
"drive-b y " shootings involving
handguns , sawed-off shotguns ,
even UZI machine guns. Gangrelated crime costs the public and
private sectors here about $1
million a day .
In the earl y 1970s the major
black gang was in South Los

Angeles. Then other gangs began
to affiliate with it. Today at least
300 members of the loose
association are in county jail at
any time. But thousands are on
the streets.
Latino gangs , with their emphasis on tattoos , clothes and
machismo , fit the traditional patterns of gangs as adolescent anchors in a turbulent , atomized city. But black gangs increasing ly
resemble the Mafia; they are in
big business—th e drug business.
Their territorial imperative in
controlling certain neighborhoods
has an entrepreneurial rather than
merely atavistic motive.

Ruchhoft says young Latinos
are apt to outgrow gangs , but
many blacks find in their gangs
an adult vocation , selling drugs
as far afield as Oregon and Louisiana. They also sell in the white
suburbs of the San Fernando
Valley, a market some blacks
discovered when bused there for
school integration , Ruchhoft
believes".'" " ¦'" ¦"
Ruchhoft says you cannot convince the drug-dealing black-gang
members that crime does not pay .
It does , and they can see the

Mercedes it buys. You cannot
convince them that jail is too
unp leasant to risk. "They thrive
in prison. We condition them for
it. "

In their first brushes with the
law , they are onl y chewed out.
Then comes a ni g ht in custody.
Then two ni ghts. A week. A
month at juvenile camp. Then
two months in county jail. By
then the shock value of San Quentin is gone. Doing "hard time , "
they aquire more sop histicated
criminal skills and status on the
streets.
"You and I cannot get into
their minds ," Ruchhoft says ,
referring to young men he sees
smiling in unfeigned unconcern
as they are sentenced to 25 years .
"When your own perception of
your self worth is zero , anything
is something, even going to San
Quentin for murder. "
Thirty
years ago t h i s
September was the opening of
"West Side Story "— "Romeo and

of the 1960s sensibility.
Juvenile delinquency was interpreted as a reproachful assertion
of community by victims of

alienation; an indictment of the
anomie of industrial societies
composed of a "dust of individuals "; an act of "protest
masculinity " by young men
without proper male role models;
or, more mundanely, a product of
society 's inadequate opportunity
structure .
There may be fragments of
truth in those theories , but they

years on the gang detail. He deals

Liberals and their comrades at the Kremlin
Editor:
"Peace , throug h superior
firepower!!" This phrase conjurs
up visions of volatile , facist warmongers who thrive on killing
others.
In other words. ..a conservative
republican...a paranoid , corrupt,
"Bi g Brother " type who secretly fears freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. "Thank
God!!" for the liberals.., the
levelheaded few who are the only ones who can save America
from the power hungry
conservatives.
I can hear the "Amens" right
now , from a lot of you out there
as you read this. Unfortunately,
your comrades at the Kremlin enjoy the thoug hts of American
liberalism , for there is nothing the
Russians fear as much as a strong
America.

Lenin stated the Soviet Union 's
basic philosophy years ago when
"Probe
with
he
said ,
bayonets.. .If you encounter steel,
withdraw!! If you encounter
mush.., continue!!" Since 1974,
Angola , Ethiopia , Afghanistan ,
South Yemen , Nicaragua ,
Mozambique, Laos, Cambodia ,
and South Vietnam have all fallen
under communist domination.
The enemy obviously has
designs on Central America as
well. Let's face facts, its location
on our doorstep has unlimited
strategic advantages-for them!!
Yet we continue to conduct
business as usual; conducting
diplomatic and cultural exchanges
with them.. .and isn 't it interesting
that we like to pretend that the
Soviets are just like us, that they
want to be our friends?! (Doesn 't
that sound nice?! It brings tears
of happiness to my eyes!)

Some people refuse to believe
that it 's them or us!! I know it
sounds too simple, even naive ,
but
when
their
leaders
(Karushchev in the United Nations) say "We will bury you!",
isn 't it naive not to believe that
they mean it?! Ask the populations
of
Hungary
and
Czechoslovakia what it means not
to believe! But maybe they were
just naive too.
In spite of historical facts and
lessons learned , huge crowds of
demonstrators protested our involvement in Vietnam. An effort
to stem the spread of communism
was effectively stopped by our
own people. ("People " is a kind
word for the long-haired, earringclad , dope-smoking clones that
formed the bulk of the marches) .
The Vietnamese who asked our
country for assistance and were
later sold out have other names

for you! !
As 1988 and the coming
presidential elections draw near ,
I honestly worry about the inevitable weakening of our armed forces th at will result if a
Democrat gains the presidency .
We will gamble with our national
security by weakening our
military strength in the face of an
openly aggressive enemy while
pouring needed funds into useless
social programs.
I hope the day doesn 't come
when we have to regret our
liberal , gutless lack of resolve.
But then the liberals have never
been accused of having guts and
that puts them in a position of not
having to worry .
I'll risk being labeled as a right
wing fanatic by leaving you with
a closing thought-better dead than
red!!

No , it never occurred to me
that something odd was afoot. It
wasn't until I was sitting in some
unidentifiable office waiting for
some forgotten fi gure to return ,
that I noticed traces of some
higher scheme.
Next to me sat a friend of mine
who was waiting for his advisor 's
signature because his GPA has
dropped from 2.8 to 2.7. Next to
him sat another friend , who needed his advisor 's signature so he
could get a candy bar out of the
vending machine. I deduced
something was going on.
Armed with several sticks of
explosives and a poorly forged
search warrant , I found what I
was looking for in the basement
of McCormick.
A huge vault in the basement
filled with nothing but advisors '
signatures. Millions of them ,
some dating back to before the inception of the university . I found
one signature from an advisor
named Dr. Running Bear , announcing that his advisee, Yellow
Fox , could pink-slip into Deer
Tracking 101.
This , then , was the reason that
students are required to get the
signatures and put them into a
book , to be redeemed later for
valuable prizes. With 40
signatures , you can get a designer
pup tent.
You can also put the signatures
toward your education. With
1500 si gnatures you get a
bachelor 's degree. A master's
degree costs onl y 4000
signatures , and a Ph.D. is yours
for only 7000.
Finally, and this is my goal, if
you collect 10,000 advisors '
signatures , you get to be...an
advisor.

President Ausprich speaks of
'caring ' BU students to CGA

by Joe Denelsbeck
CGA Columnist

The Community Government
Association Senate meeting opened Monday ni ght with remarks
from President Harry Ausprich.
In an upbeat message, Dr.
Ausprich recalled a story of how
his mailbox was stolen. A student
found the mailbox and called the
president to inform him that is
mailbox was recovered .
Dr. Ausprich told the story to
show that BU students are caring,

upstanding, and good.
"Our students reall y care and
pay attention to the university ,"
Dr. Ausprich commented.
"
The president then went on to
invite all students to his open office hours on Monday afternoons.
Lastly, he urged the students to
take pride in their elections
because the peop le because the
people they elect are the people
who effect how the university
runs.
The meeting then turned to the
first order of business which dealt

with a request from the band for
new uniforms and equipment.
The request for $14 ,200
stemmed from an expected
growth of 15-20 members for
next year.
The senate voted to allocate
$ 11 ,900 for the cost of 34 new
uniforms and four french horns ,
instead of the amount requested.
The Senate elected three new
senators ; two will represent Northumberland and one will represent Lycoming.

thousands of construction

This year , backers of the
65-mph speed limit hope that they
can win sufficient votes among 50
new members ej ected to the
House in November to secure
passage of the proposal.
Opponents of the higher limit
on rural interstate hi ghways say
it could result in as many as 1,000
more traffic deaths a year and
burn up $2 billion more in fuel
while saving motorists an average
of only minutes a day .

Camp gives students chance
to help others grow and live
Camp Variety in the Bradford Woods of Pennsylvania offers college
students the opportunity to do something a little different with their summer vacations. The camp gives the students the opportunity to help those
afflicted with spina bifida , a crippling disease. Though many of the campers
are profoundly handicapped , Camp Variety offers them a chance to participate in a variety of activities not normally associated with physically
challenged people. Being a counselor gives the student the unique chance
to be an integral part in the experience.
With Spring Break quickl y approaching and
summer following not far behind , now is the
time of the year when many students find
themselves uneasil y thinking about summer
employment .
Many shudder to think that it is all too possible that we will be stuck back in the same old
fast food grease trap flipping hamburgers for
three long sweaty months.
There are better jobs available , even if you
have not completed many courses in your major. One possibility is to become a counselor
at Camp Variety for Spina Bifida , Bradford
Woods , PA.
The camp is sponsored by the Spina Bifida
Association of Western Pennsy lvania and provides a summer retreat for about 100 young
people rang ing from ages seven to 21. The
campers were all born with a birth defect known
as spina bifida , a condition where the spinal
cord develops improperl y causing various
problems. *
Some campers have no motor impairment;
some walk with crutches and braces , and others
are totall y wheelchair bound.
Despite the campers ' disabilities the camp
runs a normal schedule of activities. Campers
swim , play adaptive games including football

and basketball , do arts and crafts , learn to make
a primitive campsite , have dances , and of
course , sing around the campfire .
Counseling could be an excellent job for you ,
especially if you are in an education or health
related major , but even if you are not in these
fields , camp could still be the place for you.
A desire to work with children and young
adults is quite enough to make a great
counselor. In previous years there were
counselors who majored in economics , art ,
communication , and cosmetology as well as the
health related fields.
The camp will run from June 14 to August
16 and will include a week long counselor training session.
Counselors are paid a salary and provided
room and board . Aside from the obvious
benefits, the camp creates an excellent reference
for your all important resume and , on an individual basis , there is also the possibility for
internshi p or co-op in your major.
If this type of challenging, rewarding summer job appeals to you , please contact your
Career Placement office or write Camp
Counselor Information , Spina Bifida Association of Western Pennsy lvania , 4815 Liberty
Avenue, 300, Pittsburgh , PA 15224 .

A common complaint ofte n
heard among students at B.U. is
that there is no culture in
Bloomsburg . Contrary to popular
belief there are many who have
an interest in the arts as well good
music.
They have been
discouraged , thoug h , by the long
drives necessary to catch these
events.
Thanks to some area residents ,
though , this is no longer the case.
The League of Reg ional
Cooperative Artists (LORCA) , is
an organization of local artists
who have joined together to
showcase local talent. LORCA is
the brainchild of Michael Swartz ,
whose band So What will be
among the artists performing at
the first LORAC show to be held
Thursday , February 5th at 9:00
p.m. at Russells Restaurant.
The whole idea behind LORCA is to provide many of the fine
but unknown artists from this
area , who alone would not have
the opportunity to get their work
known , to put on group performances featuring several artists .
In addition to So What , the
show will feature the writings of
John Arndt. In addition to his
poetry , a scene from his play
"Antiquity , " which ran in New
York City , will also be performed. Arndt is a graduate of the
Minnesota School of Acting.
Also on hand will be the short
films of Martin Shell. Shell has
a degree in filmmaking from
Northwestern University and has
been a member of BTE since
1979; he has also performed as
a mime for five years.
The hi ghli ght of the evening
will be the music of So What ,
which leader Michael Swartz
describes as an "avant-bob jazz
group. " Swartz , with his long
hair and beret looks as though he
would be just as comfortable with
a paint brush on the left bank in
Paris as he is with a saxophone.
Swartz and co-band member
Dirt Condiminium are also
members of Bedful of Metaphysicians, whose self-produced debut
album is available in area record
stores .

The Inside Cover

General Public a reggae hit

When General Public 's first
album , "All the Rage" hit the
airway s a few years back , fans
were exposed to a uni que new
blend of brass , reggae , and
accordion-like key boards. Dave
Wakeling 's Jamaican vocals added a south-of-the-border touch to
the band which rounded out a
progressive sound probably never
to be dup licated. The tradition has
been upheld on their new album ,
"Hand to Mouth. "
This band is everything Big
Audio Dynamite should have

been and more.
A trademark of reggae has
always been the ' 'come togethc r,
give peace a chance" lyrics.
General Public keeps in line with
"Faults and All ," and "Forward
as One. "
' 7 have a father and he fought
in the jung le/
He lost a brother, so I lost an
unclef
Life 's a gas (ha!) Life 's a
scream/
In the Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marines/
Forwardas One, Not marching
as to war. "
As alway s, reggae is made or
broken by the rythm section.
Drummer Mario Minordi and
percussionist Gaspar Lowol are
brilliant on the funkier tunes ,
mixing superbly with keyboardist
Ranking Roger and arranger
Chris Cameron 's brass section on
"Murder. "
Able to shift gears and rock
with the best of them. General

Public let it all hang out on "Cheque in the Post. " The song,
esoecially the lyrics , sound a lot
like Genesis ' "Illegal Alien . "
Guitarists Dave Wakeling and
Gionni Minord i turn it up full
blast on that tune and "Too Much
or Nothing. "
With all the talent in this band ,
it 's no surprise they 're not getting
extensive airplay . Today 's radio
stations are too concerned with
taking the advice of stuffed-shirt
programming syndicate executives who insist Top 40 is the
way to go. -Else those who do
try to do their own programming
end up play ing soupy "classic
rock" for aging yupp ies. Just
because a song was written after
1979 doesn 't mean it 's trashlook at U2 , or General Public for
that matter.
Look for more 80's rock
reviews in upcoming issues. The
Voice would like to thank WBUQ
for providing the copy of Genera l
Puhlir 's "Hand to Mouth . "

Sauealer 's Corner

Ethically educating the disinterested

I recently had the distinction of
'proctoring ' a class , a task that I
find comes under the heading of
'senior responsibilities before
graduation ' .
From that particular position ,
I was able to see a teacher 's point
of view from the other side , and
it is one that can certainly be
disheartening and discourag ing.
My simple purpose was to
show a video , a job that wouldn 't

seem too difficult. I didn 't think
that the class would be that upset
at the prospect of spending only
an hour watching it , since it was
a three hour class.
But , from a student 's (my own)
point of view , I could see wanting to escape from that 'educational prison ', especially because
the regular teacher wasn 't around
to keep the structured atmosphere
that comes from familiarity .
So, I decided to place the video
into the VCR and take a short
walk , knowing that my presence
would not be needed , and the
class would continue dutifull y
without me (especially since I had
sat thrpugh an earlier showing in
another class).
However, by the time I came
back to the class , a minority had
decided to spend their time
elsewhere, and I was left with a
decidedly smaller contingency to
deal with .

For the past 16 years an international study program has been
offered to Bloomsburg University
students. This program is again
taking place in Salzburg, Austria
for all interested students.
One course being offered is a
Marketing Principles and Practices class which professor Robert
Watts is teaching.
Watts encourages business and
non-business students alike to
look into this program because
non-business organizations are
implementing market planning .

AIDS programs to
be held on campus

The Residence Life and Student
Health
Centers
at
Bloomsburg University , in an effort to get students to recognize
that what they don 't know
canhurt them , will run a series of
information centers on AIDS.
The series begins Tuesday ,
Feb . 10 at 1 p.m. in the coffeehouse of the Kehr Union
Building and all students are invited to attend.

According to Watts , this program is just as reasonable as going to a summer session at BU.
The class is a six week summer
session . The total cost of the summer study program is $1 ,850,
which includes transportation
(round-trip), tuition and room
with some meals.

There are also a variety of

almost immediately.
No one voiced an objectionable
response , and I reluctantly advanced the VCR to the next part
of the program.
I was a little too lean on these
students , I thought , and I later
declined their pleas, feeling that
their time and minds mi ght be
further educated (though I could
sympathize with them) .
I'm sure that my 'establishment ' position angered some of
them , but I felt that I should have
some semblance of authority .
As a student (and as a senior ,
who has endured seemingly
countless 6:00 classes), the
possibility of teaching a class of
people who are uninterested in
the subject matter is disheartening enough , but to keep them
somewhat 'entertained' for a span
of three hours is trul y a valiant
and venerable task.

'Mammoth Hunters' tops in p aperbacks

Foreign study off ered f romBU
by Wendy Rauscher
For the Voice

Feeling somewhat depressed , I
sat down again-near the front of
the class , regaining my position
of pseudo 'power ' , and regretfully prepared for another viewing.
Now , I would have been
satisfied (had I been a student in
this class) with remaining steadfastly in my seat , and watching
the remainder of the show.
But , to my dismay , some of the
pup ils wished to move 'on with
the show ', and asked if I would
forward the tape.
Needless to say , I had reached
a crossroads , a veritable ethical
imperative , and I had to realize
the best decision for the good of
all parties involved . - . . , ¦!.
So, burdened with the requests
of these students , I did the
democratic thing, and asked if
there was anyone who wished to
see the remainder of this particular segment.
As a student , I knew the answer

CGA not impressive
by Joe Denelsbeck
CGA Columist

As I sat in the first Community Government Association
Senate meeting of this semester ,
I was amazed at the number of
absences. I counted 11 name
plates with no peop le behind
them. I hope this is not going to
be a trend .
Senators are elected by a constituency that expects them to attend the meetings. If the senator
is not going to attend , kick them
off the senate.
I was impressed by Dr.
Ausprich' s appearance and
speech. I think this should be a
bimonthl y event. It shows that the
president and students are
communicating.
However, this is the only thing
I was impressed with. Our
senators were sitting there , voting
lor things without even asking
questions.

They raised the bid minimum
to $500. (Previously, the bid limit
was $300. A student organization
was required to send out bids for
a purchase if it totaled over
$300.) No one asked if this would
cost CGA any extra money . 1
believe if we don 't bid tilings out ,
it may end up costing the CGA
more money .
The band asked for $14,200.
This request made sense but the
CGA only gave them $11 ,900.
The band was given enough
money to cover the purchase of
uniforms to fit new members, but
the CGA wouldn 't give the band
the money they needed to buy instruments for these people to
play . Makes sense , huh?

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

FROM FRIENDS TO FRIENDS.
"Are you OK to drive?"
"What's afew beers?"
"Did you have too much to drink?"
"Pm perfectly f i n e "
"Are you in any s/iape to drive?"
"I' ve neverfelt better "
"I think you've had, afew too many."
"You kiddin , I can drive
with my eyes closed "

Oh well , it gets better. During
the discussion , fund raising was
brought up as a way to raise the
money. The director of the band
did not think the band members
would like to hold a fund raiser.
Well , to that I say , "too bad ."
Let's get something stra ight. I
would have given the band the
$14,200 up until the moment
when fund raising was discussed.

Fund raisers are a fact of life for
student organizations. Clubs need
to have fund raisers. Why does
the band think they are special?
An improving organization ,
yes! Unable to raise fund , no!! I
wrote this because you , who just
gave the band $11 ,900 should
know. Do you?

Philadelphia Textile shot 84.6
percent from the three-point
range and
defeated
the
Bloomsburg Huskies 95-84 to
snap a five- game winning streak
for the Huskies.
The game started tight as
Bloomsburg tried to get the ball
inside to Alex Nelcha. Nelcha
scored his second field goal of the
first half with 17:09 to go to bring
Bloomsburg within 1 point at 8-7.
Then the roof collapsed.
Due to missed shots and turnovers by Bloomsburg , the Rams
of Textile went on a 20-3 tear to
go ahead 28-10, thanks in part to
excellent shooting by Mike
Doyle.
The Rams then went bonkers
with the three point play , converting it five more times in the remaining 10:45 of the first half to
open leads of as much as 21
points.
Bloomsburg coach Charlie
Chronister must have wondered
where the team he had on the
court the last five games was in '
the first half. The Huskies , who
had been over 50 percent in field
goal shooting the last few outings,
shot a dismal 37.5 percent in the
first half.
Philadel phia Textile , on the HOOP SCOOPS:
other hand , shot an incredible The Rams managed outstanding
58.3 percent in the first half , in- 84.6 percent shooting from threecluding a perfect 8- 8 on three- point range while the Huskies

halftime lead .
The Rams ' Pete Barton hit shots led by Carpenter ' s
another three-point goal to start three...John Williams recorded
the scoring in the second half to four steals to lead the Huskies.

Bloomsburg then began to convert turnovers with inside and
outside shooting to go on a 14-0

Both teams played even ball for

Where are
the Heroes?
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

The American public is
so confused these days.
Five years ago Bonnie Tyler
cried , 'I need a hero . ' Now
Tina Turner sings , 'We
don ' t need another hero ,'
and , well , Whitney Houston
'discovered long ago, never
to walk in any body ' s
shadow. '
Why this sudden disappearance in a m e r i c a n
heroes? What caused this
incredible distrust of public
fi gures? Has america
outgrown its need for
heroes?
Fifty years ago everyone
loved the Babe , Joe Dimmag io and Lou Gheri g.
No one was ashamed to
admit that they had a hero .
It was accepted to beleive in
someone who you had
never met or , in the days
before television , even
seen.
Today , however , when
Pete Rose goes to ball parks
he is booed by some fans.
Wh y?
Does he take drugs, beat
his wife or cheat on his income taxes?
The worst thing he does
is show enthusiasm for the
game that many have lost
faith in. People are tired of
seeing actors. They want
doers .
Drug abuse , outrageous
salaries , and cry bab y
millionares hav e soured the
fans on america 's past-time.
Not onl y baseball , but
football and basketball as
well as college athletics
have fell to the apathy of

.. guys who drink their
milk and speak out
against drugs aren 't
very cool, but they are
staying ali ve.. '
millions , mostly due to the
players lack of responsibility to their games.
The bi ggest tragedy of
all , of course , was the death
of Mary land All-American ,
Len Bias.
His death sent shock
waves throug h the NCAA
and caused many people to
lose what little respect they
had left for the declining
college athletics.
In the eight months since
his death , a new type of
hero has emerged . This one
is the kind that admits to
drug use and attempts to
fi ght it. John Lucas is one
such man. I hope he makes
it.
In times like these guys
that drink their milk and
speak out against drugs
aren 't very cool , but they
are staying alive and performing their very best.
Guys like National
League Most Valuable
Player , Mike Schmidt ,
1983 Rookie of the Year ,
Darryl Strawberry , 1983
National Champ ion basketball coach John Thompson
and All-Everything Wayne
Gretzky have been drinking
their milk for years and enjoying success.
So, although most people
aren 't looking for heroes ,
they are there for those who
seek them. It is hard to put
your trust in anyone these
days, that's quite understandable. We are afraid to have
heroes .
Still , in times like these ,
I think we need them even
more.

Pre-game p ray er

Judge rules for senior
by David Treadwell

LA Times-Washington Post Service

In a decision a ffecting a timehonored Southern custom , a
federal jud ge here declared Tuesday that public prayers before
high school football games violate
the separation between churc h
and state mandated by the U.S.
Constitution.
U.S. District Jud ge G. Ernest
Tidwell , ruling in a suit involving Doug las County Hi gh School
in
nearb y
Doug l a s v i l l e ,
acknowled ged arguments that the
pregame prayers could lend
di gnity to the games and remind
spectators and p layers of the importance of sportsmanship and
fair play.
"However ," he said in the
21-page decision , "the invocations also endorsed Protestant
Christian doctrine , " and thus run
counter to the First Amendment
ban on government sponsorshi p
of reli gion.
"One of the (school board 's)
purposes in having and supporting an invocation prior to hi gh
school football games in Douglas
County was motivated by a desire
to satisf y the genuine , good faith
wishes on the part of a majority
of the citizens of Doug las County to publicl y express support for
Protestant Christianity, " the
jud ge said.
Kath yrn Shehane , Doug las
County school superintendent ,
said that the school board would
appeal the decision.
The case arose last fall when
Doug las Jagcr , an 1 8-year-old
senior science major at Douglas
County Hi gh School , challenged
the pregame prayer ritual in a
lawsuit along with his father ,
Wiliam , 51 , a retired Army
sergeant who works . as a
firefighter at Fort McPherson ,
just south of Atlanta.
Jud ge Tidwell granted a temporary restraining order against
the prayers in September and
heard final arguments in the case
in December afte r a trial without

a jury .
The younger Jager , who
describes himself as an agnostic ,
attended the games as a saxophonist in the school' s marching
band. He testified in court that the
invocations , delivered by local
clergymen just before the play ing
of the national anthem and the
opening kickoff, made him feel
"hi ghl y intimidated ." He told the
court that they also subjected him
to ridicule from fellow students
when he declined to bow his
head.
The Jagers ' suit set off a fierce
reaction in Douglasville , a community of 7.46 1 about 25 miles
west of Atlanta. "Initiall y, it was
real nasty out here ," the elder
Jager recalled. "We were
swamped with obscene phone
calls and our tires were slashed
ri ght here in our carport . But that
has mostl y died out now. "
Gene Guerrero , director of the
Georg ia chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union , which
represented the Jagers in the case ,
said that Tidwell' s decision
should have a major impact on
other school districts that follow
the pregame prayer practice.
"The Doug las County school
board' s attorneys claimed at the
trial that prayer before the games
was a long-standing tradition , "
he said. "But the real tradition in
our country is the separation of
churc h and state . "
However , Bill y Armistead ,
assistant school superintendent in
DeKalb County , one of the
n u m e r o u s Georg ia school
districts that permit pregame
prayers , said no changes were
p lanned there for the time being.
"But if it appears that we ought
to do something in the way of
chang ing, then we will ," he said.
In his ruling, Tidwell denied
the Jager 's request for a permanent injunction at Douglas County High , say ing that "no additional restraint " was necessary to
enforce compliance with his
order.

Husky lead at 42-36 with a
minute remaining in the half.
But then Kutztown took advantage of more BU turnovers arid
pulled within two points before
the Bloomsburg bench received a
technincal foul.
The Golden Bears' Butch Hills
hit both free throws and Williams
hit a jumper on the possession to
give Kutztown a 44-42 halftime
edge.
Bloomsburg played strongly
early in the second half , utilizing
inside scoring by Dave Carpenter
and a shot blocking display by
Alex Nelcha.
The Huskies led by as much as
seven and carried a five point lead
into the final 1:29 of play with a
74-69 advantage.
Then Williams went to work .
The
6-4
forward
from
Philadel phia forced three turnovers and the Golden Bears
turned two of them into five
points to tie the score at 74 with
15 seconds remaining.
The Huskies called time out
and set up a play to go inside to
Nelcha , but he just missed a field
goal effort and Kutztown
rebounded.
Williams attempted a shot with
one second remaining that failed
to go in , but he was fouled on the
play .
He then sank the first free Alex Nelcha (35) grabs one of his six rebounds in action against
th row to give his team the win at Philadelphia Textile Monday night. (Voice photo by Michele Young.)

Men swimmers f allto KU

by Kirstm Leininger
Staff Writer

State qualif ying and personal
best itmes weren 't enough for the
men 's swim team to hold off the
Golden Bears of Kutztown at the
Nelson fieldhouse pool , yesterday
afternoon.
Although the Huskies recorded a loss of 123-79, they attained many firsts and seconds.
"We had an excellent meet.
This was the best the men swam
all season. But we lack in
numbers , and that 's what loses it
for us ,"said Coach Dave Rider.

Off the bench

"We're down 28 points before
the meet even starts because we
don 't have any divers ," he
added.
The Huskies got off to a slow
start , but came back strong
throughout the rest of the meet to
win four events and finish second
and third in the other six.
Freshman Jeff Kratz recorded
to individual firsts in the 50 and
100 free-sty le , doing times that
qualified him for states.
Junior Ed McElhiney won the
200 breaststroke , finishing the
race with a personal best time.
The free relay of Kratz , Todd

McAllister , Bob Potter and Jack
Carr also finished first.
Other outstanding swims were
achieved by junior Jerry Shantillo , who recorded personal best
times in the 500 and 1000 freestyle that helped him take seconds
in both.
Sopomore Jack Carr also
finished second in the 50 and 100
free , as did freshmen Bob Potter
in the 200 backstroke and 200
free-style.
John Schneider also recorded a
second in the 200 breaststroke in
a losing cause for the Huskies.

Recalling some 1986 memories

by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

As I sat down to write my column , I was having trouble coming up with a topic. As I sat staring at the blank screen , my mind
started to wander back to 1986
with all of its highli ghts and
lowlights.
There were new faces and
places amuck in all varieties of
sports . 1986 was the year of the
upset as grizzled veterans and
baby-faced rookies shared
the
limelight for just a few seconds.
I know it is February 5 already ,
but here is just one more look
back at some of 1986' s
memorable sports happenings:
How about that infamous punt
by Sean Landeta of the Giants
when they played the Bears last
January? You recall he missed it
almost completely allowing the
Bears to break a scoreless game
with a touchdown and eventually an easy victory .
For all of you pro basketball
fans, how about Ralph Sampson's
blind , turnaround jump-shot with
one second left for Houston to
win the NBA's Western Conference championship. The
Rockets victory over the Lakers
earned them the right to face the
for
the
NBA
Celtics
championship.
The close of April found the
end of hockey 's Edmonton Oilers
string of consecutive Stanley

Cups and their hopes of forming
a dynasty smashed for awhile.
Steve Smith , an Oilers ' rookie
defenseman , broke a 2-2 tie in the
seventh and deciding game of the
Smythe Division championship
against the Calgary Flames by accidently hitting the puck into his
own goal.
Also in April , do you recall
Louisville 's stunning upset victory over the Blue Devils of Duke
to win the NCAA championships? Who can forget the key
shooting of Pervis Ellison down
the stretch to win it for the
Cardinals.
Switching to golf , no major fan
of the sport will forget for a long
while Bob Tway 's shot out of the
sand trap on the 18th hole for birdie
to
win
the
PGA
championship.
Also in golf , the Golden Bear
himself, Jack Nicklaus , proved he
still wasn 't finished when he
claimed a stunning victory in the
Masters . For those few days of
the tournament , he looked and
played like he was twenty years
younger.
Speaking of veterans , I bet
many oldtimers felt a surge of
warmth and nostalgic feelings as
some jockey in his fifties named
Will y Shoemaker raced Ferdinand to a win in the Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs.
For all of you auto-racing fans,
this year 's Indianapolis 500 was
one you 'll be talking about for
years to come. Not only was the

race postponed a day because of
inclement weather , but the race
itself actuall y came down to the
final two laps. Bobby Rahal made
a daring pass on the last lap to
barely win over Kevin Cogan.
And finall y, t u r n i n g to
baseball , who would have ever
imagined that a routine grounder
down the first-base line with two
outs and the World Series championship on the line would be
misplayed by a former all-star
first baseman? But that 's exactly
what happened to the Red Sox infielder , Bill Buckner , as the Mets
rallied to win Games Six and
Seven
and
the
world
championship.
So there you have it , folks, just
a few of the many memorable
moments in sports during 1986.
I' m sorry if you 're favorite
wasn 't in , but there is onl y so
much space.
I hope you had as many fond
memories from this column as I
enjoyed while writing it.
