CGA Appeals Committee demands re-election
by Jeff Cox
Editor

Citing "the inefficient manner in which the election was conducted ," the CGA's Election Appeals Committee unanimously decided Wednesday to conduct a re-election for the CGA presidential post.
The investigation into the election arose from an appeal filed by
present CGA Vice President Ed Gobora following last Thursday 's
election and an article in Monday 's edition of The Voice, in which
Robert Anthony was declared winner.
The decision was released at a meeting in the office of Dr. John
Trathen , director of student activities and the Kehr Union , and in
the presence of Gobora and Anthony .
Trathen presented both candidates and The Voice with an official
statement released by the committee that elaborated on the "inefficient manner " in which the election was conducted.
The statement cited three specific reasons for a re-election , including: (reprinted verbatim)

~ candidates were given different instructions on election procedures
- neither the candidates, nor the Election Chairperson , were .informed
of the extension of voting time in the Kehr Union
- a discrepancy between the number of counted ballots and the number
of people that were indicated as having voted
Trathen stressed, however , that no accusations of wrongdoing were
being made*by the committee or in the statement.
"We are not accusing any body of anything illegal ," Trathen said .
"There were certain discrepancies. Ed was informed of some things ,
Rob was not. "
Specifically , Trathen said that 61 names were crossed off the voter
list for which no ballots could be accounted. However , Trathen
reiterated that this did not mean that anybody was being accused of
doing anything illegal , merely that such a large number of names
marked off for which there were no votes could not be ignored .
"Someone may have changed their mind about voting after they
were crossed off , " Trathen said. "However , we felt a re-election
was important. "

In addition , several recommendations were made in the statement
to the CGA Executive Council , including : (reprinted verbatim)
- 1. An impartial person , such as Joe Denelsbeck , last year's CGA
Election Chairperson , be appointed chairperson of the Re-Election
Committee.
- 2. The Re-Election Committee Chairperson meet with this Appeals Committee to further discuss election procedures .
Trathen also said that it was not the task of the Appeals Committee to decide on a re-election date, but rather it would be up to the
Executive Council to decide.
Members of the Appeals Committee, other than Trathen , included: Joseph J. Cannavo , Eileen M. Irving, Jill S. Lippincott and Sean
C. Mullen.
Of the decision , Gobora said , "I think , with the new election , it
will secure in the University community 's mind that the results of
the new election are indeed accurate ."
Anthony , who is forced into the position of having to win the

Students can avoid long lines
at the Scranton Commons

by Mary Ellen Spisak
Staff Writer

A student commplaint about the
long lines in the Scranton Commons prompted the Food Service
Director to inform students of
what they can do to decrease the
long wait to be served.
Director Jeff Zitzman stated he
wanted to clear up whaf'doesn 't
have to be. "
Zitzman said he wants students
to be more aware of the times
when and when not to eat, pointing out that during evening
meals, between 4:00 and 5:15,

they serve 16.4 students per
minute and between 5:15 and
5:45 serve 17.8 students per
minute .

Slower times for dinner occur
between 5:45 and 6:00, when 8.7
students are served per minute,
and between 6:00 and 6:30, when
only 1.3 students are served per
minute .
"Students should be more
aware of times so they can spread
the crowds out a little," Zitzman
said.
Students who cannot eat in the
Commons because of schedule
conflicts should contact Mr. Zitz-

man in,his office in A-B lobby .
"If a student's schedule conflicts , we can make box lunches ,
which has been done already and
is being done now , " Zitzman
said.
"There is no excuses for missing meals because of schedule
conflicts ," Zitzman added. "We
will bend over backwards to accomadate students. "

Zitzman said he is willing to arrange meals to the students ' convenience, as long as he is contacted first. For example, the dinner lines are left open from 6:30
to 7:00 for athletes.

"I did not , in fact, dismiss
Mark Emswiller as Elections
Chairperson. "
"I did not take ballots out of
the box alone. At all times someone was in the room ."
"I extended the period of
voting in a mutual agreement.
Both candidates were not aware
of the extension and neither had
any advantage. "
"It is my understanding that
Rob Anthony was not informed
to stay out of that' part of the
Union , and to the best of my
knowledge he was not (informed). "
"I did not support either candidate , as CGA President. "
Keffer went on to say that Ed
Gobora had filed an appeal and
that it had been accepted. He also
said that because two members of
the Appeals Committee, Mark
Emswiller and himself , were
directly involved , it was recommended that they be replaced by
four members of the 1985 Governing Board- Sean Mullen , Jill
Lippincott, Eileen Irving, and Joe
Cannavo.
When questioned by Senate
members Keffer said that the
Committee would determine if a
new election was required. He
also said that due to the urgency
of the matter , the Committee
would handle the appeal "as

quickly as possible. "
When asked why he had taken
it upon himself to extend voting
hours , an action normally to be
taken by the Election Chairman ,
Keffer said that the move was
prompted by low voter tu rnout
and that longer hours would allow
more students to vote . He said he
did not consult with Elections
Chairman Mark Emswiller
because Emswiller was in class.
Keffer also said that it was a
mutual agreement between
himself and Robert Norton , dean
of student life. Norton commented at Monday 's meeting that
he felt the poor weather may have
caused low voter turnout and that
he concurred with Keffer 's suggestion that the time be extended.

Keffer stated that he did not
know why Rob Anthony had not
been informed of the policy that
candidates remain off the first
floor of the Union during voting
hours. To the best of his
knowledge Gobora was informed and Anthony was not.
It was pointed out by Joe
Denelsbeck , former Chairman of
the Elections Committee, that the
first floor rule was a guideline he
established for the candidates during last year 's election. He said
that the rules required that candidates remain only 20 feet away
from the polls , which Anthony
was.
No mention was made of the
allegations of cheating on the
parts of Gobora or Anthony .
In other CGA business , new
senators were presented and
several finance items were
discussed. The Husky Ambassadors were granted one-third
funding of $254.00 to send eight
delegates to West Virginia to participate in the District Conference

Underreporting hampers seriousness of AIDS
by Sandra G. Boodman

L.A. Times- Washington Post Service

Dr. Paul Meyer, a pathologist ,
was recently called in to perform
an autopsy on a 26-year-old man
who died suddenly at a small
community hospital in East Los
Angeles.
When the man 's father , a prominent local businessman, and his
brother , a lawyer , learned that
Meyer had issued a death certificate listing the cause of death
as undiagnosed Pneumocystis
pneumonia caused by AIDS.
They were, in Meyer's words
"mad as Hell. "
"They called me, they called
the chairman of the department of
pathology and then the medical
director of the hospital ," recalled Meyer , AIDS research
cooridinator in the Department of
Pathology at the University of
Southern California Medical
Center. "They said I was accus-

ing their son of being a homosexual and kept challenging the death
certificate."
Meyer 's case and that of
Liberace, whose doctor said he
died of heart failure until he was
overruled by a coroner 's finding
of acquired immune deficiency
syndrome, illustrate the problem
of underreporting of the disease
that has struck more than 30,000
Americans, killing 16,000' since
1981.
Although public acknowledgement of AIDS is increasing, doctors and federal health officials
agree that underreporting remains
a problem , both in life and in
death . Experts differ about how
widespread underreporting of
AIDS is, but nearly all agree that
it hampers the collection of accurate data about the magnitude
of AIDS , which public health officials predict may dwarf all
previous epidemics in human
history .

"There 's underreporting of all
sorts of things like suicides," said
Dr. Louis E. Gantner Jr., a professor of forensic and environmental pathology at St.
Louis University School of
Medicine and president of the national association of medical examiners. "The problem with
underreporting is that it is hard
to judge the extent of it. After all ,
you don 't know what you don 't
know. "
Laws in most states require
health care workers to report
cases of AIDS to state authorities,
who in turn report them to the
federal Centers for Disease Control , which maintains an annonymous AIDS registry .
Ann hardy, an epidemiologist
who studied underreporting for
the CDC, said she thinks most
cases are reported to the AIDS
registry by hospitals while the
victim is alive. But , she says, "A
lot of physicians don 't put it on

death certificates because m some
areas they 're public record. "
Some doctors are reluctant to
list AIDS on a death certificate
for fear it will become public and
cause the family additional pain.
And major newspapers in cities
with the largest numbers of AIDS
cases still shy away from reporting deaths from a disease
associated with homosexuals and
intravenous drug users.
According to Dr. Tim
Dondero , chief of AIDS
surveillance for CDC , about 10
percent of cases are not reported
by doctors or hospitals. Another
15 percent , he estimated , are excluded because of an overly strict
definition of the disease that CDC
is in the process of redefining.
Inaccurate death certificates
have an impact on public health
because "Death certificates are
very important public health
documents , " said Harold
Rosenberg , director of the mor-

tality statistics programs for the
National Center for Health
Statistics. "They ae the basis for
most national health data on
trends , lefe expectancy, and infant mortality . They ' re the best
measure of the progress we're
making.
In addition , physicians who try
to disguise AIDS by listing lymphona or meningitis or cardiac arrest on a death certificate may endange others who come into contact with the body and fail to
make proper precautions .
"A lot of people, funeral directors and forensic pathologists are
Worried about it , " said Dr. John
Smialek , Maryland' s chief
medical examiner , who believes
the practice is "fairly common. "
In the last five months Smialek
has sent two letters to Maryland
doctors , county medical societies
and hospitals reminding them of
their responsibility to list the

of Ambassadors . After much
discussion the Economics club
was granted $525.00 , one-third
of funds needed for an overni ght
stay , to send 46 members to
Washington , D.C.
A request to allocate $26,695
for nine new pieces of nautilus
equipment was tabled.
The Senate debated the request
for $12,275 to be taken from the
reserve to cover the post season
play for winter sports. The
Finance Committee had moved to
make this figure a ceiling for both
winter and spring post season
play . It was pointed out that this
was a transitional year for athletic
funding and that , althoug h
athletics may require more
money this year , next year they
should not.
The motion was tabled until a
representitive from the Athletic
Department could appea r before
the Senate to discuss the figure .
The Senate also passed a motion to require that certain CGA
funded sports groups be required
to sign waivers and statements
that they are covered by insurance. The forms are designed
to endemnify CGA from liability for the rest of this semester until a mandatory insurance policy
can be reinstated.
In a related matter , the Senate
passed a motion recommending
that the Council of Trustees
reinstate the mandatory insurance
policy.
In open forum , Dean Norton
mentioned the AIDS Awareness
program sponsored by the Health
Center and the Residence Life
Office.
The Senate meeting ended with
a discussion of problems concerning the library closing early and
forcing students to leave.

Of the people

Maintaining the standard
Government. It is one of those
necessary evils that occasionall y
forces the individual to question
sanity.
In our society, be it in the form
of a board , commission , committee , council , association , or
senate, a governing body is in existence to act on the behalf of the
whole , a rep resentation o\~ f.he
people over which it governs.
Seldom is it realized , sitting in
;i local council meetinr. that the
boring arguments over pelts
items on the agenda arc a s ital
part
of
represenunse
government.
This aspect o\ represenuns e
government , thoug h scorned by
many , should be cherished for
svhat it illustrates.

It acts as a symbol of the people making a decision on some
issue that affects their lives.
This government , officials
elected by the peop le, acts as a
group in deciding issues that the
peop le, as a whole , empower it
to.
'This group , in the name of the
peop le, establishes . regulations
regarding the function of government. They set limitations on the
possers of individual officers to
pres ent them from going beyond
the bounds of their offices and
breaching
the
rules
of
government.
W i t h i n governing bodies ,
boards and committees are
established to act on the part of
the government as a whole, to

provide some service or perform
some function.
A committee acts as a part of
the government , which acts on
the behalf of the people. It is
therefore empowered by the people to act.
When an individual goes
beyond the limitations of office
and takes on the powers of the
committee, without the expressed permission of the committee
or the government as a whole, the
individual has breached the rules
of that government and should be
held accountable.
Only by maintaining the standards of representative government will ,that same government
continue to function as it was intended to function.

Mr. Burian , I don 't think you
will ever know the number of
people you offended on this college campus with these narrowminded chauvanistic views.
It does not matter if the article
was written originally by a Jeff
Smith. Burian 's running of it
signified to me and many others
that he holds the same views as
Smith.
Personally, I diink a girl should
be handled with respect and affection. Picking up a girl at a party for a one ni ght stand , to me ,
is a sign of cheapness and immaturity . Leading a girl on to get
some cheap thrills is the lowest
I think a guy can get.
And by the way , I think these
same points apply to girls as well.
I discussed this letter with
many people before writing it ,
both male and female. Therefore,
I know the view expressed herein
arc the same as those of many
students.

And Reagan said 'throw deep'
by George Will
Editorial Columnist

After hearing scientific
arguments f ot* and bud getary
comp laints about , the proposed
$4.4 billion atom smasher , President Reagan swerved the discussion into an anecdote . He recalled Jack London 's personal credo:
"I would rather be ashes than
dust , 1 would rather my spark
should burn out in a brilli ant
blaze , Than it should by stifled in
dry rot. I would rather be a
superb meteor , With every atom
of me in magnificient glow , Than
a sleepy and permanent planet. "
Then Reagan said that London 's credo was once read to Ken
Stabler , the pro quarterback , who
was asked what it meant. Stabler
said : "Throw deep. " Stabler was
ri ght. So svas Reagan in endorsing the Superconducting Super
Collider (SSC). Now the future
of elementary particle physics is
in the hands of Congress.
Congress willing, the SSC will
be a tunnel in a circle with a
52-mile circumference. Atomsmashers
are
g i gantic
microscopes for peering into the
heart of matter. In the SSC ,
counter-rotating beams of protons , each beam travelling at
nearl y the speed of li ght , will be
steered by magnets into collissions. Only a few of these protons will collide , producing a

shower of other subatomic particles. The characteristics of the
resultant particles will be
measured , often in intervals of
biUionths of seconds.
The more energy is contained
in the space where particles collide , the better the chance the
energy will be transformed into
new forms of matter. Fermilab ,
a particle accelerator Bativia , Illinois , can create collisions
yielding two trillion electron
volts. The SSC will y ield 40
trillion.
Fundamental science such as
hi gh-energy physics inevitably
has large economic and , more
important , cultu ral effects on
mankind 's moral sensibility . And
the SSC, the largest and costliest
experimental device ever , will
have a profound effect on
science.
When Congress comes to consider approval of the SSC, it
should bear in mind that many of
America 's foremost scientists
were born elsewhere and came
here to be on the moving frontiers
of science. The sociology of
scientific enterprise is ,complex ,
but this is clear: The momentum
generated by synergism among
scientists , spanning generations ,
can be quickl y dissipated . It can
be forfieted by government
negli gence and philistine parsimony in scientific investment.

A few barbed words on the record
Editor:
I feel I must speak out on The
Voice's poor attempt at resurrecting Tlie Inside Cover, that being
Mike Fleming 's Off the Record.
The Inside Cover was at times
informative , funny , serious , and
socially conscious. I took obvious
care in my choice of subjects and
wordage. While talking on a particular band , I gave credit where
credit was due and kept my own
musical bias out of it.
If I cut a band up, they deserved it , the same with the complimentary columns. Mr. Fleming 's is an egotistical (how many
times does he mention his own
band in the article), boring ("let 's
examine each part; "- nothing like

—

journalistic foreshadowing to
make an article interesting, ahem)
desecration of a good thing.
Perhaps if Mr. Fleming paid
more attention to the band or concept in question , rather than
lamenting about his own band' s
musical and talent shortcomings ,
Off the Record wouldn 't sound so

much like "off the cuff. "
I question the editorial integrity of a newspaper which allows
its writers to substitute egotism
for writing talent.
As for Mr. Fleming's article on
The Beastie Boys, as well as his
writing, "it be illin. "

Comments on Stupidity
Editor:
Stup idity comes in many
forms. At Bloomsburg , there is
a vast abundance of stup idity
from whatever angle the observer
cares to look.
This letter is dedicated to a few
individuals
who
have
demonstrated how immaturity
and stup idity combine to prove a
destructive force on this campus.
Walking into the games room
in the Kehr Union Building, it is
fun to watch people pound on
pool tables when they miss a shot ,
instead of directing their frustration on the true source of their
inabilities.
These are children and until
now did not merit comment; Today, however , things changed .
Walking into the games room , I
was immediately .impressed by
what must have been a true act of
macho. Some semi-functional had
attempted to dismantle a pool
table without the aid of tools.
This was in itself upsetting, but
alone still did not require words.
That was when I noticed the pinball machine.
This particular pinball machine
had a small problem.
Some Neanderthal , in a snit
because his play time was over ,

decided his own inabilities could
not be to blame and had smashed the glass top of the machine.
Enough is enough. Boys and
girls , if you cannot play nice,
then go play outside like mommy
used to tell you.
Tired-of-it

The first cyclotron was built in
Berkeley in 1930. It was five inches in diameter. Until recently,
America clearl y led the world in
high-energy physics research.In
this decade , Europe has secured
the lead , with the Soviet Union
rising rapidly. The SSC will
make America 's particle
physicists preeminent in the competition to understand the ultimate
consituents of matter and the
forces that bind those constituents
to form the universe.
When Reagan ended the
meeting by say ing , "Throw
deep , " thereby signalling his support for the SSC, James Miller ,
head of the Office of Management and Budget , said , "You 're
going to make a lot of physicists
ecstatic. " Reagan replied ,
"That 's probably fair , because I
made two physics teachers in high
school very miserable. "
Reagen likes to say, "You ain 't
seen nothing yet. " The human
race has never seen a project of
any sort as ambitious as the SSC.
But , then , the human race is
designed to "throw deep ."

A call for
're-election'

Editor:
I would like to address the issue
of the CGA elections.
I can not believe the lack of
structure in running these elections. It is sad to say that I am
beginning to believe our student
body can not be trusted , and that
the administration should run
these elections in the future .
When a friend handed in her
ballot , it was crumpled and
thrown back to her with the comment that she really wanted to
vote for Rob and not Ed. It shows
that the people running the elections are not acting in an unbiased manner.
The CGA complains about
apathy on the part of the students ,
but based upon this election , how
much do our votes really count?
Correct me if I am wrong , but
I was lead to believe CGA stands
for COMMUNITY Government
Association. If this is true then I
believe a re-election is in order ,
one that truly represents our community - the students!

Surrogate tests rights
by Margot Hornblower

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

HACENSACK , N.J. -It was a
telling moment in the Baby M
case. In a taped telephone conversation played for the judge,
William Stern told Mary Beth
Whitehead , the woman who was
refusing to relinquish the baby he
hired her to bear , "You know,
you just had to get a lawyer, and
he would have said to the judge ,
hey "
Whitehead , crying hysterically, interrupted: "With what, Bill?
With what , Bill? ...You hold all
the card s, Bill. "
The fi ght over the chubby,
10-month old girl known as Baby
M is the first in the nation to test
the ri ghts of mother and father in
a surrogate pregnancy . In
dramatic relief , it has shown that
the process, unregulated in all
states, is stacked in favor of the
couple with the income , education and sophistication to contract
for the child.
The system first failed
Whitehead , 29, a high school
dropout married to a garbage collector , when it accepted her as a
surrogate mother despite tests indicating that she would have trouble giving up the baby and did not
prepare her for the parting during her pregnancy .
And from the time she changed her mind , at the baby 's birth
March 27 , she has been outspent
and outmaneuvered by Stern , 41,
a Biochemist , and his wife,
Elizabeth , a pediatrician who
postponed pregnancy for her
career and then decided against
it for fear of aggravating a mild
case of multiple sclerosis .

"This case is about class and
gender ," said law professor
Nadine Taub , who filed a friendof-the-court brief on behalf of the
Rutgers University Women 's
Rights Litigation Clinic.
The trial testimony reveals that
Whitehead was warned little, if
at all , of the psychological or
legal complications that might
arise. Once they did , she had few
means of dealing with them .
Reacting instinctively, she refused the $10,000 fee and fled with
the child.
While advocates of surrogate
child-bearing, including some
feminists , see it as "a constitu tional right to procreate ," the
economic imbalance that normally accompanies the arrangementthe couple who contracts for the
chiid is wealthy enough to pay for
it. the woman who accepts is poor
enough to need the money- raises
the issue of exploitation.
Whitehead' s reasons for
becoming a surrogate were much
like her reasons for wanting to
keep her baby. "I don 't have
education ," she testified last
week. "I don 't have any skills to
really speak of. The only skill I
do have is being a mother. "
The average surrogate-mother
candidate, according to a study by
Wayne
State
University
psychiatrist Philip Parker , is 25 ,
high school educated , and married , with at least one child. The
infertile couples who hire them
tend to be over 30, well educated,
and prosperous.
In examining the contract in
which Whitehead agreed to conceive Stern 's child by artificial insemination and give it to him after
birth , mental health experts and

lawyers have focused on whether
Whitehead was able to give "informed consent "- a legal test of
its enforceability.
No laws govern the growing
industry of surrogate-pregnancy
brokering, which has matched as
mothers through more than a
dozen centers throughout the
United States. Each center has
different procedures.
In Whitehead's case, the Infertility Center of New York ran an
ad seeking a surrogate mother in
town
home
Whitehead' s
newspaper and arranged for
Whitehead to meet with a lawyer
for an hour.
Taub' s brief noted that "the
center benefited financially when
surrogates were matched with
couples " and that Whitehead
should have had independent
councel.
Joan Einwoher , psychologist
who interviewed and tested
Whitehead when she applied to be
a surrogate, reported that she was
"an appropriate candidate " but
that "she expects to have strong
feelings about g iving up the baby
in the end" and recommended
that the feelings be explored "in
more depth ."
Whitehead said she was never
informed about the report. The
Sterns did not ask to see the
report. If they had seen it ,
Elizabeth Stern has testified,
"we'd have asked for more
testing . We mig ht not be sitting
here today ."
Noel Keane, a Michigan attorney who heads the New York
center and one in Detroit , said the
lawyer recommended by the
center signed a paper saying he

doesn 't make sense ' that
family members," said Smialek,
who said he encountered the same
problem in New Mexico where
he was prev iously state medical
examiner. "It 's a puestion of telling the truth and it 's important
because people who come in contact with that body need to be
aware of the fact that someone
died of a contagious disease so
they can take precautions. "
Morticians and embalmers,
some of whom have refused to
handle bodies of AIDS victims or
have charged their families more
for preparation, are also concerned about inaccurate death
certificates.
"We feel that proper procedures are not being followed
and we need to know what we're
dealing with in order to take
precautions ," said Sally Lowe,
secretary of the Maryland State
Funeral Directors Association.
"Sometimes people may not use
the safest practices but they 're
more likely to if they know
they 're dealing with a contagious
disease. "
The CDC has recommended
that morticians handling bodies
infected with AIDS and other
contagious diseases, such as
hepatitis B, wear two sets of
gloves , a mask , protective
eyewear, a gown and shoe coverings to prevent accidental exposure to the virus, which is
transmitted in blood and semen.
"If you take the (Liberace)
case as an example," Rosenberg
said , "the reason it was caught
is . that the coroner said , 'This

somebody would die of a heart attack as a result of brain disease.
I think you 're going to see more
of that" as the virus spreads.
If doctors are loath to list
AIDS , families and newspapers
appear to be even more reluctant
to acknowledge the disease
publicly in obituaries. Some
newspapers defer to the wishes of
families and accept their explanation of the cause of death as
pneumonia or cardiac arrest or "a
long illness. "
Washington Post policy requires that a cause of death appear irr all cases, according to
obituary editor J.Y. Smith. By
failing to list AIDS, Smith said ,
"you are making a judgment that
whatever it was was so awful
yhou can 't mention it. " Smith
said the number of AIDS
obituaries is increasing and that
relatives seem less reluctant to
acknowledge the disease.
Although Chicago ranks eighth
in major cities in the number of
AIDS cases, the Chicago Tribune
has never listed AIDS in its daily obituary columns, according to
Kenan Hiese , the paper 's
obituary writer. Some families ,
Hiese said , remain reluctant to
admit a relative did of cancer, an
attitude common 20 years ago .
"I don't like the fact that we
never put it in, but we have to
take the family's word for it ,"
said Hiese. "I've suspected AIDS
about 15 or 20 times and had people tell me off the record 'yes, he
died of AIDS,' but they don 't
want it in the paper so I don't put

underlying cause on death certificates and tag AIDS-infected
bodies.
' 'What people are expecting a
physician to do is to fill (a death
certificate) out responsibly so that
officials know what the hell's going on , " said Smialek. '"Congestive heart failure' doesn't
because
mean
anything
everybody 's heart stops when
they die. A doctor who does that
is just passing the buck. "
Sometimes the pressure to
disguise the presence of AIDS is
greater when it involves a public
figure like Liberace. The cause of
his death was revealed after
Riverside County Coroner Ray
Carillo challenged the death certificate and ordered an autopsy ,
which confirmed that the 67-yearold entertainer died of an AIDSrelated pneumonia, not of heart
failure caused by a brain disease.
Not all medical examiners
believe that AIDS must be listed
on death certificates . "Had this
happened in the District would
we overstep the physician? Probable not unless we got a lot of
flak about it ," said Dr. Carol
McMahon ,
an
assistant
Washington D.C. medical examiner. "To be honest with you
I respect the family 's wishes. If
he had been Joe Blow and the

Smialek said he regards that action as misguided and irresponsible. "Doctors do this kind of

BU Players give comedy for everyone in 'Forcuir
by Jeff Cox
Editor

Just consider the Bloomsburg
Players production of A Funny
Thing Happened on the way to
the Forum a tribute to ensemble acting.
Though this p r o d u c t i o n ,
which opened Wednesday evening on the mainstage in Haas
A u d i t o r i u m c e r t a i n l y had
weaknesses, the overall quality of the cast outshone the shortcomings of some individuals ,
the proverbial whole being
greater than the sum of its pans.
Joe Grube. for instance, svho
plays the lead role of Pseudolus
the slave , beg ins the show quite
out of synch , out of character ,
and out of time , but with the
strong support of cennin other

members of the cast , (Steve
Lindenmuth' s Hysteria as one
shining examp le) Grube coasts
oack into the groove and
delivers a strong performance
the rest of the way.
Grube and Lindenmuth p lay
off each other superbly, due in
large part to the fabulous comic timing ability of Lindenmuth ,
and make their scheme work
onstage.
The rest of the cast essentially follows suit.
Nicole Matuella delivers a
somewhat lackluster performance as Domina. the wife of
Senex. but her lack of energy is
negated again by the strong performance of Lindenmuth . and
also of the effective dry humor
that David O'Brien lends to
Senex.

As a group, the courtesans , a
group of Roman prostitutes ,
features fluctuating quality in
the scantily clad actresses.
Severa l of these young ladies
could fail to muster an honest
smile throug hout the production , while others , notabl y
Louise Ruane , who played one
half of the Geminae twins ,
delivered both a sultry and
sincere performance that gave
a true bri ght spot on stage.
Add also a wonderful sleaze
job by Gail Lynch , lack of
costume not withstanding.
A nearly pornographic scene
design dominates the stage , including several phallic symbols
and numerous pictures of naked females drawn on the houses.
Director Hitoshi Sato seemed to have a good direction to

take the comedy, but the energy
level of his actors was often
uneven.
One general problem with the
show was projection. Dr. Mark
Jelinek' s orchestra sounds quite
well , but none of the actor 's
voices could compete with the
pit , even when they used the
not-so-cleverly
disguised
microphones. This comment
bars none , except for a few instances when Grube rises to the
occasion.
Several comical devices are
well used in the show , especially the proteans , played by
George Caesar , Delbert Roll
and Brian Foelsch.
Bobbi Weise , though also
suffering from the lack of projection problem , maintained a
smooth air of innocence about

her in her portrayal of Phiha ,
while she and O'Brien had
many of the funniest moments
of the show through their
mutual misunderstanding .
Rob Koch , as Hero , the
desirer of the virgin Philia , suffered from many of the same
problems
as the
other
characters , but delivered a fine
performance overall.
Philia and Hero 's relationshi p, though lacking spark in
some instances , was at times
touching and ftinny.
Mention must also be made oi
Tony Dietterick' s pseudodomineering portrayal of the
bumbling Lycus , the dealer of
c o u r t e s an s .
Jim Rohrbach contributes
solid stage presence as Miles
Glorius , and James Deterick

provides further comic relief as
Erronius.

, Sato uses stage elements well ,
such as the curtain at the beginning of both acts , and T. Andrew Wri g ht 's li g hting design
added nice touches , especially
in the scene where Hysterium is
"mourned , " giving the scene a

Locked out in the cold as usual

Dave Burian
I recentl y had an experience
that most of you would either
laugh at or consider sad . It is
something that the vast majority
of the public experiences at one
time or another in their lives.
But it is the circumstances surrounding this event that are really sad.
I locked my keys in my car.
Fortunatel y, it wasn 't running
at the time , but the frustration of
feeling hel pless doesn 't lend
much to the male ego.

[ s

It began a few sveeks ago ,
when my car 's transmission died
on arrival at my home in Alientown. After it was 'fixed' (a leak
still existed), I made it back up
here to school.
Then , the ignition decided to
lock and wouldn 't let my key turn
it at all. So, the car sat behind the
post office while I decided what
to do.
Meanwhile , I experienced the
fun and excitement of walking
back and forth to school in subzero temperatu res.
I finally gave in , and called a
garage who would take care of
my pitifu l auto . The work was
completed in three days by their
mechanical expertise and by
another check from my
nowdwindling account.
The old ignition and still usable
door keys were placed in a small
box on the floor of my car. I was
also given two new ignition keys,
which I put in my pocket.
I drove back to school , parked

the Union , locking the door
behind me.
With long lines in the Union
and a class at 6:00, I decided to
spend some money and gas and
head out to McDonalds for some
serious food.
Much to my dismay, I found
myself without a door key , and
I stood staring unbelievabl y at the
car door and my useless ignition
keys for some minutes.
After getting a hanger , and using it fruitlessl y, I not only found
myself locked out of my car
(which I had just gotten back and
now couldn 't use) , but missing
dinner and class , too.
So, I called the garage back and
someone came out , but they were
afraid of damag ing the electric
door locks. But they would open
it if they were freed from responsibility for damages (and if they
received about 30 bucks).
I declined and went up to
Security , where I got a Disabled
Vehicle sticker and escaped the
fri gid temperatures for about 15
minutes.

With the sticker on my car , I
phoned area locksmiths, who
were willing to come out at ni ght
and open my car for the same
amount of money as the garage.
On the verge of insanity as well
as bankruptcy, I called home and
talked to my grandfather , who is
an expert at solving auto
problems.
What he told me is relevant to
anyone svho has a car or is getting a car.
When a car is sold, the dealership usually keeps a record of a
code number that is on the key.
That number can then be given to
a parts department and a replacement key can be made.

The following day , I went to

How does this man keep coming up with these ori ginal ideas?
Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) is a

Hawk sets his sights on the

Some of the ways to beat those old bad day blues
by Darcie Scheidt
for The Voice

Your roommate flings open the
door , slams it behind her and
furiously marches to her bed and
plops down. You ' re not reall y
sure what to say or do so you continue to write the rough draft of
your composition.
"This has to be the worst day
of my life! "your roomie unexpectedly shouts.
O.K., so now it 's clear why she
is so upset . It 's easy to sympathize with her because just
yesterday after sli pping and falling on a patch of ice , you swore
you 'd never go out in public
again.
Bad days have a tendency to
drag on endlessly, but what 's
worse is that they can sneak up
and attack at any time and on any
day .
That s the way the cookie
crumbles, "says Karen Rumpp, a
junior at Bloomsburg University .

Karen knows every day can ' t be
good and -so she takes life 's
bumps in stride.
Karen expaincd thai one bad
day began ."When I tried turning
on my bathroom li ght and it just
didn 't work. " Karen took it upon
herself to inspect the fixture and
when attempting to change one of
the thre e bulbs , the glass covering fell and shattere d on the floor
and into the tub.
After cleaning up the mess, she
picked the glass out of her hand
and decided she would leave electrical work to electricians.
"I went to the kitchen and
began mak ing Kraft Macaroni
and
Cheese , "Karen
continued. "The pilot li ght burned
out and to remove the pan I needed a pot-holder. I reached for my
roommate 's and it sli pped behind
the sink never to be found again.
Needless to say I didn 't eat
anything that day ."
Being nice to others also poses

Surrogate mother

problems. "I didn 't want to have
to talk to anyone ,"Karen said ,"I
tried laughing it off , but it wasn 't
easy . "
Karen takes bad days in stride
because she feels they onl y come
up once in awhile. She added , "Little things like forgetting
my ID for lunch or having a
friend tell a guy he's my lustman
occur now and then and are easy
to accept. But it makes things
worse when people find out about
stupid things I do because it 's embarassing. "
Bad days can also be structured
so that one disaster overshadows
all others . Junior Eileen Bortz
tells of her unfortunate experience
two years ago. "I woke early
with a terrible pain in my side.
I tried to go back to sleep but
every 10 to 15 minutes the pain
would wake me. "
Not being able to sleep was a
constant reminder that she should
be up and working on her

In "in-depth " interviews with
two center staffers , Keane said ,
Whitehead gave every indication
"that she would be able to give
up the child. "
Massachusetts Genera l hospital
Pychologist Phy llis Silverman ,
who has done extensive research
on mothers who give up children
for adoption , says these women
often feel "a shattering disruption

of (their) sense ot identity .
...usuall y, the bonds of connectedness are not known to most
peop le. They are unaware of their
own need to care and of the
power of relati onshi ps in their
lives. "
"We cannot permit surrogate
mothers to be used as machines
to produce babies and then toss
them out afterwards , " she added. "These women are incapable
of understanding the impact that
surrendering a child will have
upon them until they have a living, breathing baby. "

Eileen came out of surgery
okay and was glad the doctors
caught the problem in time! "I've
never been in such a serious situation before , it seemed like a ma-

Playing with the boys, and winning
by Tracy Dodds

L.A. Times-Washington Post Servise

It' s easy to miss as you roll
through this little pumice-mining
town in the Sierra Mountains on
the eastern edge of Yosemite National Park , but there is a high
school here.
Dwarfed by the rise of a snowcovered, pine-dotted mountain on
one side and the magnificent expanse of blue water that is Mono
Lake on the other , sits a modest ,
yellow building that blends with
the grocery store , the restaurant ,
the trailer park , the cluster of
motels , the string of gas stations
and the dozens of homes on the
banks of Hi ghway 395 that make
up the town staked out by prospectors Leroy and Dick Vining
in 1852.
On a second pass , you might
notice that Lee Vining School
(only 41 of the 63 students are
hi gh school students) prides itself
in at least a couple of its sport
teams. The field beside the school
is buried under snow , but there
are goal posts standing along with
one blocking sled and two sets of
bleachers that would seat, oh , sixty people on each side if those
people huddled together against
the chill.
But this is basketball season .
Better known in these parts as ski
season. Last Saturday , Lee Vining played the last basketball
game of the season on a sunny but
cool , afternoon. The game was
postponed from Friday night
because of a snowfall that made
for ideal ski conditions.
One of Lee Vining 's nine
basketball players skipped the
game to go skiing.
"At least he's not a starter , but
you see what we're up against ,"
Coach Mark Chaplin said with a
shrug.
Now , you can see how Lee
Vining High School came to have
the distinction of being the only
school in the Califorina Interscholastic Federation with a
girl on its boys basketball team .

And that girl , Jackie Chesley, is
a starter.
Burt Umstead , athletic director
of the school , saw a 5-foot 7-inch
person with a good attitude and
good grades happily swishing
15-foot jump shots in the gym one
day , and that was good enough
for him.
Chesley, one of the school's
two foreign exchange students ,
explained to him that she had
learned to shoot like that while
playing netball at a girls ' boarding school in New Zealand.
Umstead explained to her that
under federation rules, because
Lee Vining had no girls ' basketball team , she would certainly be
made welcome on the boys
basketball team.
Then he explained it to the
coach who , according to this
evolving legend , cringed.
OK , he admits that he wasn 't
real hot on the idea when he first
heard it , but that was before he
saw her shoot. "I really didn 't
have to be talked into it once I
saw those 15-footers hitting
nothing but net ," Chaplin ,said.
Chesley shoots him a teasing
glare and counters : "He was appalled! Appalled!"
She grew up in Tokomaru Bay ,
a small community on the east
coast of the north island of New
Zealand , an area rich in the
Maori tradition. She didn 't learn
to speak English until she was
four.
After three years in a girls'
boarding school , she ventured all
around the world for her senior
year in high school , knowing only
that she 'd be in California. She
would live with people she had
never met in a town she had never
heard of.
And then to be the first girl in
the state to play for a boys basketball team? Facing fans and
newspaper reporters? She certainly never intended to do anything
like that.
But she figures it all fits in with
the spirit of the exchange program. This is about new and dif-

ferent experiences . She's not supposed to be careful of carrying a
low profile.
One of the requirements before
she was chosen for the program
was a proficiency in public speaking. She has presented, for the
Lee Vining community , a slide
show and lecture about New
Zealand , complete with a
demonstration of Maori dance.
She is also a confident young
woman who makes nearly
straight "A's" and is taking a
college physics course by correspondence from the University of Califorina , Berkeley,
because she would like to be accepted to the Royal New Zealand
Air Force to study electrical
engineering .
Very ambitious.
And, Coach Chaplin was pleased with her serious approach to
learning basketball. It was clear
to him from the start that she was
not doing this as a lark .
They knew that she was a
natu ral athlete after she made the
first team all-league in volleyball
in her first season of play ing the
game.
Chaplin said , "She 's a good
shooter and a good passer, but
best of all, she's coachable. She 's
not really quick enough to play
man-to-man, so when she 's in the
game, we play a zone. But she
plays hard and she does j ust what
you tell her to do. "
"She 's always paying attention , always aware of where
everyone is on the court, so the
second she gets the ball , she
knows where she wants to pass
it. "
There 's no flash to her game ,
however. She certainly is not a
dominant player against the boys.
But she averaged 8 points a game
and was second on the team in
assists because she wasn 't afraid
to take her shot and she was quick
and sure with her passes.
When she started playing with
the Lee Vining Tigers , she had to
learn dribbling and defense and
rebounding. On the court , now ,

she looks like she might be making an instructional film. No bad
habits from the playground , no
ad-libs. Just what Chaplin has
taught her.
' 'It did take me a little while to
feeHike I really knew how to play
the game, to get comfortable with
it ," Chesley said. "And I had to
wait for the other players to get
confidence in me. "
"It also took some time for me
to get into condition to play a fullcourt game. In netball , no one
plays from one end of the court
to another. "
Chesley drew a diagram showing which zones netball players
are allowed to play . And she added: "It makes a difference, too ,
to play up here. I'm from sea
level. "
Lee Vining is 6,781 feet above
sea level.
She was a little afraid of how
much roug her boys basketball
might be , but she found that the
boys did not rough her up at all.
If anything, they backed off.
None of the players ever said
anything to me, but sometimes I
would hear them say to each
other , 'Don 't think of her as a
girj ! Just play defense. ' "
Most of the time , Chesley has
had plenty of room to shoot. In
a couple of games, when the
defender has been ordered to stay
right with her , she has simply run
up her assist totals.
On those rare occasions when
she does get a bump or when she
does get dumped on the floor , she
just jumps back into the fr ay . Her
only injury this season was a
sprained ankle, but it was minor.
Saturday , Lee Vining lost to
Big Pine , 76-34. Chesley played
the entire game, working as hard
as her overmatched teammantes
to keep her head up.
Big Pine, the league champion ,
finished the season undefeated.
Lee Vining finished 11-11 in its
firs t season in CIF. Chaplin called it the best team at the school
in ten years.

John Williams helped lead the Huskies over the Rams last night ,
assuring BU of a playoff spot. (Voice photo by Michele Young)

Memo
From page 8

Sunday telecast of the golf tournament from San Diego , the
television people showed taped
hi ghli g hts of the previous day ' s
p lay . They showed Craig Stadler
kneeling on a towel to execute a
shot.
Viewers immediately called the
PGA switchboard to inform officials that Stadler had broken an
obscure rule. The callers didn ' t
need to look at six differnet
camera ang les of the towel.
Stadler was immediately stripped
of his $37 ,333.33 purse , although

he did save himself the price of
dry-cleaning those pants.
Do I have to spell it out for
you , Pete? Round up a crew of
television-golf fans and let them
rule on your football rep lays.
They could do it from their liv
ing rooms , saving you travel
costs. They wouldn 't even call
collect. They 'd do it for free .
their reward being the satisl 'a ciimi
of seeing justice done.
Then , when these folks have
cleaned up the National Foolhal!
League , we'll turn them loose on
pro wrestling.

Off the Huskiesmakep lay off s
Bench Men turn away West Chester
by Lincoln Weiss

by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

Today you folks are in for
a surprise when you read
my column. As most of you
know , I incorrectly picked
Miami over Penn St. in the
Fiesta Bowl a couple of
months ago.
Since that time , I have
received a lot of flak about
it fro m my co-editor , Mike
Mullen. I have responded to
his cutting remarks by attempting to point out why
Miami is a better team and
a better school.
As a matter of fact , we
have had some pretty funny
and
interesting
arguments over the whole
thing.
So now , here comes the
shocker , I am having second thoughts about some
of my criticizing remarks
about the Nittany Lions.
My change in feeling
began to come about when
I read an article about
Hcisman Trophy winner ,
Vinny Testaverde.
The article stated that the
former star quarterback for
the Hurricanes has decided
to forego his college education in lieu of publicity .
Let me backtrack and explain. Several weeks ago ,
among much fanfare and
exclamation , Testaverde
chose Bob Woolf to represent him as his agent.
Since
that
time ,
Testaverde has spent virtuall y all of his days honoring commitments such as
endorsements , speaking
engagements, and banquets.
May I remind Mr. Woolf
and Mr. Testaverde, it is
now mid-February and college classes are now in full
swing.
What 's that you say ,
guys? Did you say that Vinnie , a senior just a few
months from graduating,
has decided to put college
on hold to keep up with his
busy social slate?
Personally, I was surprised and disappointed by
Testaverde 's decision. But
then other facts of the matter came to my attention ,
facts that I and I' m sure
many others were not aware
of.
It seems Testaverd e is a
fifth-year senior , like many
other college football
p layers in this country ,
however , with one important difference.
Many fifth year seniors
from football schools
graduate , especially those
from Penn State University.
Testaverde , after five
years of college is still 30
credits short of graduating.
That 's at least another full
year of school.
How many classes and
credits was he carrying, if
any, when he was playing
football? Speak up, Jimmy
Johnson , I can 't hear you .
This whole affair happens
too much in college
athletics. I am particularly
disappointed in Miami
because of all the talk I had
heard during the bowl
season of improvements
made in their graduation
rate .
But when the star player
everyone looks up to can 't
cut the grades, it reflects on
the whole university .
Testaverde states that
next year he will be back at
Miami to earn his degree in
physical education.
Can you say 'liar ' boys
and girls??

West< Chester 's Mike O'Malley
led all scores , massing 34 points
last ni ght while the Rams as a
team shot at a credible 51.6 percent cli p from the field , as they
attempted to beat the Huskies.
They didn 't; Huskies 94 Rams 75
Normall y this kind of outstanding play would result in an easy
victory , but the Huskies were
play ing with the hunger of a
playoff spot in their gut , and
wouldn 't stop for anything in
their way .
The difference in last night 's
game was simple. The Huskies
had balanced scoring and shot the
li ghts out with their three-point
field goals.
Bloomsburg was successful
nine times out of fifteen from
beyond the three-point marker in
the first half as they opened up an
insurmountable halftime lead of
16 points.

The game did not start this
way , though. As a lot of games
start out , both teams jockeyed for
the lead.
Bloomsburg scored 15 of its
first 24 points from three-point
field goals in the first 1.1:24, but
O'Malley singlehandedly kept the
Rams in the game scoring fourteen of his own in the same time
period to make the score 24-22 .
However, he could not keep up
the pace and the Huskies continued to hit the three-point
buckets to outscore the Rams
23-9 for the remainder of the half.
This made the halftime score,
47-31. The good inside work of
Mat Wilson was also a major
contributing factor of the half.
Both teams came out for the second half and played evenly for
a little over ten meinutes, until
Dave Carpenter and Wilson
broke things up a bit by scoring
nine unanswered points , opening
up the lead now to 23 points with
only 6:44 to go.

BU upends Textile

by Joe Jackson
Staff Writer

Tuesday night, the Bloomsburg
University Huskies women 's
basketball team played host to the
defending Eastern Reg ional
champion Philadel phia Textile
Rams , beating them 56-41.
The fifteen-point victory extended their home winning streak
to thirteen games. The win also
marked the first time in college
history they had beaten the Lady
Rams.
Both teams were plagued with
poor shooting in the first half ,
with each managing a miserable
28 percent from the floor.
The lead see-sawed back and
forth in the low scoring first half
that finally found Textile up by
one at the buzzer , 21-20.
In the second half , Textile
jumped out to a six point advantage , only to have the Huskies
come roaring right back into the
thick of things.
With only 6:30 left to play in
the game, they had managed to
cut the Rams' lead to one, 39-38.
Then , just a minute later, the
Huskies took back the lead for
good . For the rest of the game,
the Huskies outscored , outrebounded and out-everything else
^
you can think of to go on a 17-3

spurt , making the final 56-41.
After a slow start , Carla
Shearer , Theresa Lorenzi , and
Linda King came on to provide
the offensive .punch that was
noticably lacking in the first half.
All three finished in double
figures. Shearer led all scorers
with 20 points , followed by
Lorenzi's 16 and King's fourteen.
Amy King blocked an incredible six shots to lead the defense ,
which incidentally was outstanding, employing a half-court trap
to frustrate the Textile offense
even more.
Textile was led offensively by
Jill Burkert who finished in double figures with ten. Eileen
Hoban and Karen Keane eached
chipped in eight to provide more
of the Rams ' spark.
Defensively, Valerie Ridge and
Burkert led the team, combining
for 20 rebounds. Ridge managed eleven , while Burkert pulled
down nine.
This was a young Textile team
having only one senior. The
defending champions are in the
midst of a rebuilding year after
losing their two top scoreres ,
Vincene Morris and Terry Troy .
Morris held fourteen school
records and finished with her
career with 2, 180 points .

For West Chester, it was just
a matter of playing out the final
minutes as the Huskies had the
game put away . Overall ,
Bloomsburg ended the game
shooting 55.7 percent from the
field.
With the win , BU pushed their
overall record up to 15-10. and
10-3 in the conference.
The Huskies finish up their
regular season on the road with
Cheyney on Saturday ni ght. This
game could very well determine
where the first playoff game will
be be held.

Women clinch division

Huskiesdominate Rams77-40
by Joe Jackson
Staff Writer

The Bloomsburg Huskies
women 's basketball team clinched first place in the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference last
night with a 77-40 rout over West
Chester last night.
This also means they will have
the top seed and the home court
advantage in the playoffs. The
win avenges an early season
defeat to the Rams when the
Huskies were routed on the road
by 16 points .
The Huskies took an early 4-0
advantage, and just never looked back. With 7:43 left in the first
half , Cecilia Rodden of West
Chester hit a bucket to cut the
Huskies ' lead to 26-11.
This insignificant basket happened to make Rodden the alltime leading scorer in West
Chester history. She finished the
game with eleven points to lead
the Rams.
After the fanfare , Bloomsburg

picked up right where th ey had
left . off and upped the lead to
34-15 at the halftime buzzer.
It was a two person barrage for
the Huskies as Carla Shearer and
Linda King worked together to
combine for 22 of Bloomsburg 's
34 first half points.
The celebrating started early in
the second half as Bloomsburg
just completely dominated the second half. With 10:23 left to play ,
the score had been upped to
50-23.
From there , West Chester just
looked forward to the end of the
game as the score wound up,
77-40.
Theresa Lorenzi , who had been
held to only six points in the firs t
half , came on to pour in 16 in second half and finish up with 22.
Coach Joe Bressi said , "Linda King played the game of her
life and provided the senior
leadership needed on the court ."
King finished up the night with
22 points . Besides King and
Lorenzi , Shearer helped out with

Some things you ought to re'memo

by Scott Ostler

Los Angeles Times-Washington Post Service

A stroll down memo lane....
Memo: To all sports agents
Re: Suffering
Fellas , I can imagine how
devestating it must be to lose a
salary arbitration hearing. Hey ,
I would hate to be the one having to break the news to Orel
Hershiser and his family that
they 'll have to get by on
$800,000 over the next six
months.
However... There has been entirely too much public whimpering and sobbing over money .
Example: When Gary Pettis ,
the California Angels center
fielder , lost his arbitration and
was awarded $400,000 instead of
$550,000 for '87, his agent said ,
"We're gravely disappointed ,"
and "(We 're) still dealing with
the shock. "
Please, gentlemen, have some
perspective , some sensibility to
the plight of the common man .
Times are tough. There are
baseball fans out there who can 't
even afford a live-in Mercedes
mechanic.
Personally , I think Pettis ' glove
and wheels make him worth
$550,000 to the Angels, even if
he didn 't make all the big plays

last October. But life is so very
unfair.
When the Los Angeles
Dodgers cut p itcher Ken Howell
$20,000, to $155,000, his agent
whimpered: "If they (the
Dodgers) want to play hardball ,
they have to deal with the outcome. You get what you pay
for. "
I infer from this that the level
of Mr. Howell's effort on the
field will based on the level of is
salary . What will Howell do?
Take ten mph off his fastball?
Go Dodger Green. Have
' _
mercy .
MemoT^ To Ole Miss athletic
department
Re: Phone sex.
Sports hot lines will never be
the same. Usually, the caller gets
a five-minute tape loop of Coach
Sweatsock discussing key injuries
and crucial turnovers. But folks
who phoned your football hot line
number recendy got a tape of a
young lady describing an imaginary sexual encounter with the
caller.
At last, a hot line that lives up
to its name! Great concept fellas!
Avant-garde. A statement. Shake
up the old order, issue a challenge
to other schools to break out of
the hot line formula rut. I loved
the part where you guys pretended to be embarrassed and

apologetic about the "mix-up" in
phone numbers.
Hey, I don't condone pornography, but this took guts .
When I read about your daring
move, I respected you. And I
respected you in the morning,
too.

Memo: To Laker management
Re: Overexposure of Laker Girls
Nice legs, bad timing. Sunday,
the Los Angeles Lakers fight
back from 17 points down against
the dreaded Boston Celtics. At
the third quarter buzzer, Magic
Johnson buries a 45-footer.
Instant bedlam!!
It is the moment of the Laker
season. The fans are going
berserk ! Screaming , howling,
frothing at the collective mouth.
Cue to the Laker Girls and PA
disco backup, stopping dead the
celebration. Why do I have to
keep telling you people? At certain magic moments like this, let
the crowd go, let the fervor build ,
keep the Laker Girls off the
court!
If we don 't get enough of the
Laker Girls from their other 37
appearances on the court during
the course of the game, we'll run
home and phone the Ole Miss
football hot line .
Memo: To New York mayor Edward I. Koch

Re: Parades
Wise moves, Ed , nixing the
downtown parade for the Super
Bowl champion New York Giants
but giving your blessing to a
parade for the America's Cup
crew.
A Giant parade would have
been messy, what, with thousands
of office workers along the
parade route leaning out their
skyscraper windows and pouring
down buckets of Gatorade.
The Am-Cuppers, on the other
hand , really needed a parade.
This is the only sport where the
ticker-tape parade is more exciting and faster paced than the
actual event.
Memo: To Pete Rozelle
Re: Save the replay
Your instant-replay officiating
system was a disaster, and you're
thinking of junking it. Golf, on
the other hand, has a replay
system that works beautifully , the
difference: Reaction time of the
replay evaluator.
Your officials, Pete, took too
long to hand down judgements on
controversial calls. Autopsies are
quicker. Your officials are still
deliberating that one Super Bowl
call , and it 's almost March .
But did you see what happened over the weekend? On the
See MEMO , page 7

twelve points , and Amy Wolf
chi pped in ten of her own.
After
the
game ,
and
understandedly ecstatic Coach
Bressi praised the play of his
team. "I was glad to see Karen
Delullo and Pam Bressi come off
the bench and play so well ,
because it shows we have the
depth that many teams didn 't
think we had. "
The team will take a few
deserved days off and rest, before
resuming practice in preparation
for the playoffs.
The win for the Huskies upped
their season record to an outstanding 18-5 overall , 10-2 in the
PSAC . The Rams , meanwhile,
fell to 15-10 overall , and 9-2 in
