be held on Thursday , February
26.
The announcement was made
Wednesday, February 19 ,
following an appeal by current
CGA Vice Presdient Edward
Gobora . The appeal was made
because of concern about election
procedures during the recent
CGA Election Day .
The CGA is holding the reelection following a recommendation made by the Election Appeals Committee. CGA has also
taken the recommendation to appoint Joseph Denelsbeck the Reelection Chairman.
In reviewing election procedure , CGA decided to make
some changes. The changes are
as follows:

a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Scranton Commons.
3. All students will be able to
vote from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the
Scranton Commons.
4. All ballots will be collected
by Joseph Denelsbeck and
another person designated by
him.
5. At all times there will be two
people working at the polling
places.
6. A picture of each candidate
will be posted in each polling
place.
7. The ballot will be set differently. (IA) will be Robert Anthony and (IE) will be Edward
Gobora .
8. Joseph Denelsbeck will be
at the polling places at all times.
9. The ballots will be placed in
the Community Activities safe if
there is a time delay between
emptying the ballot boxes and the
computer count.
Editor 's Note: The following questions were asked to both
presidential candidates. This questioning was done to give the
students 'a better idea of what stands the candidates have.
1. What steps, if any, would you like to see CGA take
in improving the Campus Judicial System?
2. How do you propose to meet the demand for more
places to study?
3. Currently, classes are forbidden from being held
in the Union. What do you think of this policy and why?
t*
4. What is your first objective once you are president?

Court debates 'Twilight Zone disaster
by Paul Feldman
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
In a highly pointed session of
cross-examination Thursday,
director John Landis staunchly
maintainted that he had no reason
to believe that the 1982 "Twili ght
Zone" filming sequence in which
actor Vic Morrow and two child
actors were killed would prove
dangerous.
Landis, his voice choking while
describing the tragedy, also stuck
to his story that more than a
dozen prosecution witnesses gave
untruthful testimony in the involuntary manslaughter trial that
began last September.
"I think it's very easy after an
accident to make pronouncements
about how things should or
should not be done," the 36-yearold filmmaker asserted at one
point during the tense, day-long
court session. "I think it's simple in hindsi ght to make vast and
broad statements that ultimately
are self-serving and puts yourself
in good light. "
However, Deputy Dist. Attorney Lea Purwin D'Agostino
who led the blistering crossexamination, told reporters afterward that the one person whose
truthfulness and motives she
questions is Landis'
Citing a lengthy series of
witnesses whose testimony Landis has contradicted- including
camera operators , a casting director ,a production secretary, a still
photographer, fire safety officers
and the parents of the dead
children- D'Agostino declared ,
"I find it somewhat incredible... why would these people
manufacture this evidence. "
Student fee increases discussed
by Susan Fallows
Staff Writer
Several proposed increases in
student fees were discussed at last
Wednesday's Council of Trustees
workshop . The increases in meal
plan , room , and health services
charges would primarily affect
students living on campus.
Dr. Robert Parrish , vice president of administration , said that
the the cost of the 19 meal plan
would be increased $13 from
$405 to $418 due to the new food
service contract that allowed for
a 4 percent wage increase called
for by the collective bargaining
agreement. Dr. Jerrold Griffis ,
vice president of student life ,
pointed out that the new contract
was more efficient and that the
menu had been completely
changed.
Dr. Parrish also noted that
renovations in the metering
system showed that the Scranton
Commons required more electricity than previously estimated.
According to the newly proposed residence hall budget, room
fees would be increased 2.5 percent, from $556 to $570. This increase would cover a 4 percent
salary hike, an increase in student
wages and higher trash removal
costs .
Mr. John Scrimgeour, of the
Counseling Center, explained that
a proposed $3 increase in the student health fee was needed in
order to keep up with growing
costs of health services.
Scrimgeour pointed out that a
suggested change in the policy requiring that students with 9
credits or more, instead of the
previous 4 credits , pay the fee
would eliminate $13,000 to
$14 ,000 in health services
revenue. This loss, coupled with
increased student use of
medicines carried by the Health
Center, made the hike necessary .
Scrimgeour also presented the
council with a plan to raise the
health fee by $5 in order to improve services , rather than merely maintain them with the $3 increase. The extra services would
include physical therapy, a nurse
practitioner and a health educator.
In other business, Dr. Griffis
talked about the $120,OOO smoke
alarm installation that is required
by law to be in place in residence
halls by 1989. The alarms would
be wired to the fire system and
would place an automatic call to
the fire station.
Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr.
Daniel Pantaleo informed the
trustees that the proposed
Bachelor of Science in Health
Physics had been approved by the
necessary committees and that the
initial funding for the program
had been received from the state.
Dr. Pantaleo also reported that
an advertisement had been approved by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Search
Committee and that the committee was now seeking to .develop
a pool of qualified candidates.
Director of Development, Anthony Ianiero, gave the council an
Robert Anthony
Edward Gobora
update on the status of university funding. The 1986 fundraising
efforts yieded $835,621.73 in
gifts and pledges. Ianiero
highlighted the record $201,000
raised by the Alumni Association
and the 62 percent rise in athletic
funding _that had helped provide
a new football scoreboard and a
baseball shed.
Dr. Griffis suggested that the
council look into reinstating the
mandatory student health insurance policy that was dropped
a year ago because the school did
not have the facilities to monitor
the policies . The school now has
the equi pment required to
monitor the program and
reinstatement of this policy would
release CGA from liability in
several areas.
Bloomsburg University President Harry Ausprich gave his
report to the council , noting the
success of his recent informal
meeting with CGA officers and
with some of the university 's
foreign exchange students . He
also said that he had scheduled in
the next few weeks visits to the
residence halls to talk with
students.
The workshop ended with a
brief outline of the planned
Bloomsburg University 150th
Anniversary celebration in 1989
by Vice President for Institutional
Advancement, John Walker. He
said a 20-25 member committee
to oversee the preparations would
be appointed next month.
The prosecutor also vigorously questioned whether Landis was
putting on an act earlier in the day
when he began sniffling and
speaking haltingly during direct
examination by his lawyer, James
Neal.
"It was a perfectly orchestrated
script , just the right amount of
hesitancy , just the right amount
of looking down , the right
amount of looking at the jury.. .1
frankly wish I had an Oscar I
could have given him for best
performance, " she said . "If
you 're not crying when the
parents of the children were sobbing their heart out on the witness
stand (last fall) then I don 't know
what other time you would cry .''
Inside
the
courtroom ,
D'Augostino also attempted to
pound the point home to jurors .
As she began her eagerlyawaited cross-examination ,
D'Augostino acidly asked the
director if he needed a tissue.
Landis
declined ,
and
D'Augostino proceeded to ask
him if directors can teach actors
to cry.
It depends on the scene,
replied Landis , who has directed
such box-office hits as 'Animal
House' and 'Trading Places. '
The trim-bearded, bespectacled director later noted that he did
cry himself once as an actor- by
placing glycerine in his eyes.
That was in his first feature production , the 1971 film , 'Schlock,'
in which he was playing "an ape
in makeup."
Landis , the first defense
witness in the trial that began last
September , will continue on tlie
witness stand for the third day
Monday .
He and four film crew
associates are charged with involuntary manslaughter for
allegedly acting with criminal
negligence in the deaths of Morrow , 53, Myca Dinh Le, 7, and
Renee Chen , 6.
The actors were killed when
struck by a helicopter that spun
out of control and plummeted
from the sky after being hit by the
fireball of a special-effects explosive during the filming of a
mock Vietnam battle sequence.
1. "I feel that a student
has both a responsibility to
the university , but also to
the Town of Bloomsburg .
One consideration might be
to hold the hearing at a time
when both the university
and the town can prosecute,
thus eliminating a seperate
hearing process. "
1. "I think the Judical
System should be restructured , if , in fact, it is
violating the students rights.
If the students are not allowed to be tried by any type
of court before any official
hearing by state or government, and it is a violation of
their constitutional rights, I
will work to see that this
practice is abolished.
"I think it is vital that the
school be aware of the
rights and freedoms of
students in order for it to
survive."
2. "I feel that a classroom
should be opened up as a
trial run. If a lot of the
students use the classroom
and it seems to be a suitable
condition to study in , then ,
possibly , another classroom
could be opened if more
space is needed.
2. "The demand for
places to study could be
done in a two step
procedure:
One, the Commons could
be used to handle the
overflow of students looking for places to study.
Two, classrooms that are
not being used for courses
on a particular day could
also be used to handle
students needing study
areas.
"It is important to provide suitable study areas ,
since studying and learning
is the main purpose of this
university , and I would
work to find a solution and
encourage input from other
students. "
3. "I feel it is a good
policy. The Union is a place
where students go to relax.
If there were ever the case
that classroom space was
desperatly needed and it
was the only alternative ,
then I feel the upstairs in the
Union could be used. I
don 't feel , however , this is
a good idea . If at all possible, the Union should be
kept as a place to get the
tension of classes off you
mind. "
4. "In order to accomadate student needs , my
first objective would be to
create better recreational
facilities on the lowercampus. A lot can be done
by just expanding Centennial Gym.
"I feel free weights
would provide a great solution to a very evident problem on campus. Down the
road , I feel a long term pro-

Ail comment appreciated
by Jeff Cox
Editor
In order to grow , one must be
willing to respect the op inions of
others , for it is throug h this process of what we call "criticism "
that we can learn from our
mistakes and grow.
As a newspaper , The Voice
has welcomed opinions from
members of the university and
town community on what we can
do to improve as a paper. To us ,
our audience means everything,
therefore it is paramount to us to
print what we feel is important to
our audience.
In the past , we, at this paper ,
have heard comments and
criticisms from many factions of
the surrounding community , including administrators , students
and even members of our own
staff that have made criticisms
that they wished to be printed.
Recentl y, The Voice has gained the reputation as an investigative , as well as informative , paper for some , while
others have labeled this paper a
scandal monger , tasteless , and a
host of other unfavorable comments concerning our editorial
probity .
From those that take the latter
viewpoint we have heard much
lately. Additionall y, these comments have bothered many of our
staff members to the point where
they wish to respond in print.
Simply stated , I , as Editor of
this paper , will not allow this to
happen.
In the past , there have been instances where people have sent in
pieces that were critical of this
paper , onl y to have their comments edited so as to not offend
the people to whom they were
directed.
As journalists , even at the college level , we must be prepared
to meet criticism head-on and not
be devastated every time
somebod y comes along who
disagrees with the way we do
things.
There comes a time in life
where we have to assume a certain amount of adult responsibility
for our actions. Part of this is the
process known as "taking your
lumps ," and jump ing up and
down and stomping your feet at
every sign of criticism is not a
very adult way to do this.
You , as members of our audience , have every ri ght to critcize what we do, and we have the
responsibility to listen to what
you say , and , if necessary , act
accordingly.
If rebuttals from staff members
were allowed to be printed , we
would face the unappealing
possibility of having the commentary page becoming a "point counterpoint " arena between
staff and readers. This is not the
purpose of the page.
Opinions from the campus
community are more than
welcome and no attempt will be
made to silence the viewpoints of
others.
One other point: While we do
honor most requests from people
who do not wish to have their real
names used on letters to the
editor , we must always know
who the person is who wrote the
letter. Letters dropped off
anonymously will not , under any
circumstances whatsoever, be
printed.
Finally, we are your paper and
we seek to fulfill your needs as
readers . We do not require a pat
on the back to do our jobs and we
do not operate under die pretense
that we are above criticism.
All positive , as well as
negative , comments are both appreciated and desired if we are to
do the best job possible in being
a representative newspaper.
The time has come to grow up
Editor:
I am writing this letter to The
Voice because of the problem of
vandalism. There is definitel y a
problem with vandalism on
campus.
As vice-president of" Luzerne
Hall , I noticed an excessive
amount of it occurring this year.
I cannot understand the reason for
this , aren 't college students supposed to be young adults.
One thing that reall y gets me
is to see someone kicking and

punching a candy machine. I can
see why people become frustrated
with the machine when it takes
their money , but there is no
reason to abuse the machine.
It won 't return the money lost ,
no matter how hard the machine
is kicked . All that is necessary is
going to the front desk of the
dorm where the machine is
located or the Information Desk ,
if the machine is in the Union ,
and fill out a sli p of paper to be
reimbursed.
I know from experience that
students don 't always get their
money back. I filled out one a
year ago and I have yet to be
reimbursed. May be if students
got their money back more ofte n
the vandalism on these machines
might decrease.
But what is the reason for such
vandalism as stealing someone's
hubcaps or smashing out the
tailli ghts on someone's car. Is it
insanity or what? I believe in having fun , but damaging someone
else 's property is not right.
The offender should put
himself in the victim 's place.
How would he like to have someone smash his car mirrors after
he spent time and money to make
those car payments?
We all know abut the vandalism in the KUB games room
because of the last issue of the
paper. It makes you wonder if it
is college students alone because
I ve seen a number of high school
students in the games room in the
past. But what is the explanation
for vandalism in the dorms?
An example. Luzerne Hall had
nearly $1300 in damage last
semester. Such minor things as
throwing toilet paper all over the
bathroom to tearing two lounge
chairs in the recreation room
which totalled $300. Such things
cannot go unnoticed. When
things like this occur in the
dorms, all the residents must pay
unless the offender is found.
Many residents have complained to me because we make the innocent pay . We do this to curb
vandalism and teach the residents
to respect the dorm 's property .
The dorms don 't have the money
to pay for the damages
themselves.
The majority of the students
respect the property of others, but
there are a few who don 't care.
If the offenders could be caught
and punished , they might change
their ways and mature. We as
students must inform the resident
advisors or someone in charge if
we see vandalism occur.
I just wish some people would
mature, because like many other
students , I am becoming annoyed
with paying for other people 's
stupidity . My advice to the few
who vandalize is "PLEASE
GROW UP. "

Reagan backs social medicine
by George Will
Editorial Columnist
The Reagan adminstration is
waxing wicked , according to
some conservatives. They are not
talking about the Iran debacle ,
although they may blame that for
the wickedness.
The cause of their consternation is President Reagan 's proposal to expand Medicare to provide catastrophic health insurance
for the elderly. The plan would
pay for unlimited days of hospital
care for Medicare patients , who
would face out-of-pocket expenses of only $2 ,000 a year.
Some conservatives think
Reagan is proposing this only as
a means to jump-start his stalled
second term , or because Congress would enact it anyway . But
perhaps Reagan thinks it is a good
idea , politicall y and socially.
Elderly voters are diligent
voters , and the children of the
elderly are apt to have school and
collegeTage. children when their
parents are vulnerable to huge
medical bills. So the middle-aged
middle class feels vulnerable too.
Only one in 35 Medicare
beneficiaries (800,000 of 28
million) would benefit from
Reagan 's plan each year , but
most of the elderly face acutecare expenses before they die.
Although one in five Medicare
beneficiaries will need custodial
help, only one in 16 has private
insurance for long-term nursinghome care . Reagan 's plan does
not cover that—yet. For the elderly whose expenses exceed $2 ,000
a year , 80 percent of those expenses go not to the hospitals but
to nursing homes.
Reagan 's plan is sure to be expanded , leaving him looking opportunistic to conservative critics
of any such plan , and looking
grudging to supporters of the
principle of such care.
The coming debate about ex-
panding the plan to cover nursing homes will shock the majority of persons over 65. Surveys
show that a majority erroneously thinks Medicare covers
nursing-home bills. Such bills are
covered only by Medicaid and
only after the elderl y have
qualified for welfare by exhausting their savings.
Reagan 's plan comes from Otis
Bowen , 69 this montii, the former
governor of Indiana and now
secretary of Health and Human
Services. He is a physician whose
wife died of cancer and whose
mother is in a nursing home.
Bowen syas nursing-home care
is too expensive for government
to pay for. In 1986, Americans
spent $39 billion on such care ,
more than $22 ,000 per patient.
The eldely and their families paid
half. Most ofthe rest was paid by
Medicaid after the patients were
impoverished. Private insurance
paid 1 percent.
Bowen favors tax incentives to
encourage people to make private
plans for long term care. Tax incentives get results but clash with
the recent reverence for tax
"simplification. " Besides, Congress knows there is much more
political mileage in voting direct
benefits rather than mere incentives for self provision.
This year or soon , Congress
will add some coverage for
nursing-home care, home care,
prescription drugs and physician
fees not covered by Medicare.
Furthermore, Reagan 's plan will
pay primarily for patients suffering terminal illnesses. Next will
come care for , say , the 35-yearold father who has been in an
accident.
The initial cost will be $4.92
per month , paid voluntarily on
top of the existing $17.90
Medicare charge . The $4.92
charge will be indexed to inflation , which is not dead , only
sleeping. The danger is that the
new premium will not rise nearly fast enough. Nothing is more
certain than that Congress will
expand coverage faster than it
raises charges.
However , one thing is as certain as that: The program will be
more expensive than expected.
Expensive pharmacological and
other technologies are coming.
Today, while the general inflation
rate is about 1 percent , inflation
in medical costs is 8 percent.
The impulse to finance the
coming corage partly from
general funds-which means from
more borrowing ; we have a
deficit-will be,irresistible , meaning not resisted .
The "Reagan revolution, " like
most revolutions , is a wayward
thing. In year seven, it is emp hasizing sex education (AIDS)
and another increment on the
already substantial edifice of
socialized medicine. Two cheers
for waywardness: The administration is defensible on both
counts.
with
Reagan
says ,
characteristic exaggeration , that
his health plan will "give
Americans the last full measure
of security ." It will not, but now
that he has endorsed that ideal ,
his objections to congressional
enrichments of his plan can concern only die price, not principle.
However , Reagan has never opposed the principle involved.
To tlie recurring surprise of
some of his most ardent and least
observant supporters , Reagan is
a "New Deal Conservative"
quite reconciled to modern
government's steady impulse to
build a "social insurance state."
Reagan is being Reagan . He
probably is the last president the
nation shall have for whom the
Depression , and FDR's response
to it , was a direct formative influence. His legacy will include
one of the most important postNew Deal enrichments of the
welfare state.
AIDS test requirement justified
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
A bill before the Connecticut
General Assembly would require
couples apply ing for a marriage
license to be tested for AIDS.
Such a prerequisite may seem
intrusive, but given the deadly
consequences of the disease , it
makes sense to err on the side of
caution.
Connecticut already requires
couples to undergo a blood test
for syphillis. Premarital testing
for AIDS seems to be a natural
extention of the state 's responsibility to control the spread of
sexually transmitted diseases. In
the case of syphillis and AIDS
there is a special need to protect
unborn children.
Dr. Richard Melchreit , AIDS
program coordinator for the state
Department of Health Services ,
has said the money "could be put
to better use in developing educational programs , counseling and
voluntary testing. "
One question yet to be
answered is what would happen
to a person who tests positive.
The bill does not address that
point.
Connecticut law allows the
state to deny a marriage license
to a person who tests positive for
syphillis and a doctor determines
that the person is infectious.
Unlike syphillis, AIDS cannot be
cured , a situation that contributes
to the complexity of this issue.
But for now, simply detecting
tht disease and informing couples
would reduce the risk of AIDS
for newlyweds and their
offspring.

images of cruising convertibles

In 1964 , the Mustang created
the ponycar market, the class of
vehicles which includes the
Camaro , Firebird , Cougar , Barracuda (later called the 'Cuda),
AMX , and Javelin. It set the standard for pony cars, the greatest requirement bieng mat the back seat

legless dwarves.
Ford introduced the Mustang
on April 17, 1964. Mustangs produced in that year , therefore , are
called 1964 '/2 rather than 1964
models. The introduction and
development ofthe Mustang was
a stroke of marketing genius.
A young Ford executive by the
name of Lee Iacocca (yes, the guy
in the Chrysler commercials) was
put in charge of the development
program mat would create a car
to serve the growing youth
market. The final product was a
sales fi gure phenomenon
(400,000 sold in the first 12
months).
The chassis was stolen from the
Falcon. This saved re-tooling
costs for Ford . The drivetrains ,
from motor to rear end , were
likewise stolen fro m the almost
forgetable Falcon. So what made
the Mustang such a success?

manufacturer knew there was a
body. It was available in a convertable model which perfectl y
met the needs of high school
cruisers . The ragtop actuall y outsold the hardtop model in 1964.
Another factor contributing to
the Mustang 's success was that it
was the 1964 Indianapolis 500
pace car , something that has
never been known to hurt sales.
Attractive styling inside and out
coupled with creative promotion
and marketing still can not full y
explain why the Mustang has
become a legend.
What really sells cars , and
crates legend , is power.
The Mustang had plenty of
power, even with the straight-six
cylinder motor. The 'Stang was
a light , nimble and responsive
vehicle. With the top down , the
Mustang was an experience entirely new to early-sixties drivers.
When coupled with the 271
horse-power, 289 cubic inch four
barrel motor , quarter-mile times
became very impressive and
speed limit signs became black
and white blurs.
Weigimng in at just under
3,000 pounds , the Mustang
caught the competition off guard.
Chrysler 's Barracuda and
Chevrolet's Camaro were not
released until 1966, a full year
and a half after the 'Stang .
The Mustang created a new
market in the car world. This car
was a new concept and a gamble
that payed off well. It drew immediate attention and the admiration of many auto experts.
'Soldiers Story' proves
dull and unsuspenseful
by J. Barbush
for The Voice
A Soldier 's Story is a film about
soldiers in the army who supposedly face racial tensions in the
1940' s which eventually leads to
the murder of a fellow black officer. Although the plot has the
basis for a good movie , A
Soldier 's Story soon becomes a
rather unsuspenseful and
repititiousmovie.
The story takes place in a
southern army barracks during
World War II. Captain Davenport , a black officer in the army ,
comes from Washington to investigate the death of Sergeant
Waters , also a black man .
Davenport is not greeted
warmly by the other soldiers.
Many people in charge ofthe barracks believe that it would be best
to leave the case alone to avoid
any racial conflict.
Davenport concludes that this
is a way of covering up for the
white officers , who Davenport
suspects of murdering Waters .
Davenport's conclusion is further
justified when he learns that the
investi gation lasted only two
days.
Davenport then begins to question soldiers in the platoon. Upon
a series of flashbacks, the viewer
learns that nearly everone has
some personal vendetta against
Waters.
More flashbacks show the night
of Waters ' death. Two white officers , Lieutenant Bird and
Lieutenant Wilcox , find Waters
drunk and give him quite a
beating. Bird then draws his gun
and the flashback ends.
The film contains no suspense
whatsoever. It is interrogation
after interrogation which eventuall y leads to the solving of the
murder.
Many of the flashbacks make
the movie difficult to understand.
The viewer is not always aware
if the scene is occurring in the
present or has occurred in the
past.
The movie doesn 't really grasp
the racial tension evident in the
south at the time. Yes , there are
some instances such as namecalling and cleaning of the officers 'quarters by the blacks , but
the movie ignores the aspect of
what is going on inside the black
soldier's mind.
Also, the biggest conflict in tlie
movie is when Sergeant Waters
argues with other black soldiers ,
a non-racial conflict.
Altogether, with it's dissapdinting dialogue and unsuspenseful
plot, A Soldier 's Story turns out
to be a real let down for the
viewer.
Campus changes appearance
submitted by R. W. Fromm
for the Voice
Seemingly every week one
notices changes for the better in
the physical appearance of
Bloomsburg University . A new
sidewalk , fresh p lantings at
several locations, and a renovated
and brightened interior figure in
this development. Considerable
physical change has been the
norm at Bloomsburg at least in recent decades and some change
has taken place occasionally over
a long period of time.
This, of course , means that we
had a very different campus years
ago. A 1913 map shows that a
working campus of nineteen aeres

School was bounded by

East Second Street and Spruce

Platoon not a typical movie
by Sharon Getty
for The Voice
Armed with a notepad , a pen
and an objective mind , I settle
down into my theater seat for
what is to be two very entertaining and enlightening hours.
The lights dim and the audience, which has previously
been alive with excitement , now
sits silently, anxiousl y, and impatiendy for what they have come
to see.
In large, bold letters , the word
Platoon flash upon the screen and
from that point forward the audience's attention is captured.
Suddenly, the audience as well
as the infantry -men ol Platoonare
thrown into the combat zones of
Vietnam. ^
Those who have come to the
movie; perhaps for entertainment
or for reasons of curiosity, now
find themselves marching and
stumbling their way th rough the
dense jung les with the stench of
death and the fear of impending
danger invading their own senses.
The audience wrenches with
pain as another innocent , young
soul is struck.down by morta r
fire .
They feel the urge to cry out in

another drug. What would he tell
his parents about the hospital bill?
Two uniformed paramedics
finally arrived , lifted him onto a
stretcher and quickly rolled him
out. His face was a gray ish blue ,
his mouth hung open , rimmed
with blood , and his eyes were
rolled back with a yellowish color on the rims.
The paramedics could be seen
moving rhythmically forward and
back through the small windows
of the ambulance, whose lights
threw a red wash over the stunned watchers on the porch. The
paramedics ' hands were massaging his chest when someone said ,
"Did you tell them he took
psilocy bin? Did you tell mem?"
"No , I... "
"My God, so tell them - do you
want him to die?" Two people
ran to tell the paramedics the student had eaten mushrooms five
minutes before the attack.
It seemed irrelevant to talk as
the ambulance pulled away . My
friend , who still saw his father 's
image, muttered , "That guy 's
dead. " I put my arms around him
half to comfort him, half to stop
him from saying things I couldn 't
believe.
The next day, when I called someone who lived in the house, I
found that my friend was right.
My hands began to shake and
my eyes filled with tears for someone I didn 't know . Weeks later
the pain was dulled , but I still
disgust and anger as a village is
ravaged and destroyed with the
same intensity as that directed
toward the yellow enemy.
Viewers * feel for the young
soldier , who try s seeking a formidable existance beyond the
realm of wealth, and education ,
suddenl y finds himself realizing
the magnitude of his mistake in
becoming involved in the
senselessness of mis creature called war.
His name is Chris Tay lor
(Charlie Sheen) and he is symbolic ofa young romantic , whose
life and ideals are caught between
the forces of good and evil.
His compassion had once
separated him from the common
r;anks .of, his. comrades . Embittered and emotionally scarred by
the senselessness of his and his
country 's plight , his compassion
now fades as he becomes as
ruthless and driven as the other
soldiers.
From the creative mind of
Oliver Stone comes the impassioned re-creation of the Vietnam
experience.
However , Platoon is not a
typical rendition of a Vietnam
film , one in which the audience
passively watches as the script of
a documentary is portrayed on the

that has moved from my stomach
to my head. When I told one
friend what happened , she shook
her head and spoke of the stupidity of filling your body with
chemical substances. People who
do drugs after seeing that didn 't
value their lives to hi ghly, she
said.
No lessons: But others refused
to read any universal lessons from
the incident. Many of those I
spoke to about the event considered him the victim of a freak
accident , randomly struck down
by drugs as a pedestrian might be
hit by a speeding taxi. They

more.
Whether or not the viewer is an
ex-soldier who has seen first-hand
what Stone re-creates in the film ,
the viewer ventures with the
soldiers into the hot , malariainfested jung les of Cambodia.
The sights , sounds and revelations become second-nature as the
audience moves in synchronicity
with the soldiers .
The transformation of evil to
good is apparent as Chris struggles to regain the dignity and
compassion relative to a soul
whose intentions are good , but
temporarily misguided.
This is not a movie which can
be viewed passively by the audience. It 's purpose is not to
glorify death or make death and
destruction commonplace. The
purpose is to expose the viewer
to the realities of pitting man
against man , brother against
brother.
As the credits appear on the
screen , the audience, having now
experienced die trials and tribulations of our nation 's soldiers ,
slowly leaves the theater, seemingly older and wiser. Their appearance resembling that of a
veteran.
Couldn 't it? Now when I hear
people discussing drugs I'm
haunted by the image of him lying on the floor , his body straining to rid itself of substances he
chose to take . Painful , undignified , unnecessary - like a
wartime casualty. But even in
war , at least, lessons are supposed to be learned , so that old
mistakes are not repeated. If this
death cannot make people think
and change, that will be an even
greater tragedy .

Science Hall and Carver Hall ,
then called Institute Hall , were
the only two buildings in 1913
now a part of our present campus. Old North Dormitory , a
men 's dorm , stood where the present much lager Luzerne Hall is.
Just south of it were four tennis
courts bounded in part by east Second Street.
Behind Institute Hall and connected to it by an enclosed
walkway was the Model School
Building later called Noetling
Hall ,' a th ree story building containing twenty-eight roomsjnany
used by Bloomsburg^dniversity
The Main Dormitory was a
four story building with a main
portion and an added wing. A
long porch of 140 feet extended
across the front of this building
"and from it , may be obtained
one of the grandest views in
eastern Pennsylvania. "
This building, demolished in
1974, was in the area where
Lycoming Hall now stands. Any
view form mis vantage point now
is obliterated by Elwell Hall. The
Main Dormitory was more than
a dormitory as it also housed the
kitchen ,
dining
room ,
classrooms , and the library .
Two last buildings shown on
the 1913 map and located approximately where the maintenance
building and part of Northumberland Hall is now where
two labeled barn and zoo. The
barn was probably left over from
the time when much of the food
for the dining hall was grown and
raised on campus. At this writing
we can only guess that the zoo
was where some zoology animals
were kept. Buckalew Place,
although existing at this time, was
not yet owned by the school.
-In addition to the campus
grounds being much smaller, and
the buildings being architecturally
of their time, the major difference
in 1913 was the greater spacious
feeling and the noticeable woodsy area of the Grove. The
spacious feeling is, alas, gone
forever , but with current and
future plantings growing every
year, someday the campus will
regain a considerable measure of
greenery that long ago enhanced
this campus.
Kruse's performance
offers wide variety
by Jacky West
for The Voice
Pop , folk and original compositions were performed at the Protestant Campus Ministry house at
8:00 p.m. last Friday night by
singer/songwriter Jane Kruse.
Kruse , a junior special education major at Bloomsburg
University , gave new life to old
favorites by Carole King and
Amy Grant. In addition she performed songs by Whitney
Houston and Miami Sound
Machine.
Along with her singing talent ,
Kruse is able to play the piano
' 'by ear. '' The piano has been an
interest of Kruse's since the age
of eight. She considers herself
lucky because , "Unlike other
kids , I didn 't need a gun held to
my head in order to go to my
lessons. I liked it. "
Much of Kruse 's inspiration
comes from friends , her fiancee
and her brother Rob Kruse.
Rob Kruse , who teaches a
song writing course at BU , is currently composing music for The
Caucasian Chalk Circle, a play
to be performed by Bloomsburg
Theatre Ensemble this spring.
Songs of love , such as
'Seashore Sunrise' helped the audience to share Jane's memories
of summers on the Jersey Coast
with sentimental lyrics and
soothing melodies.
As a special education major ,

Evidence from a dog crime
Track teams continue to perform well
The Huskies did well at the
Dickinson Invitational and much
team
improvement
was
displayed. We definitely need to
add the late coming people fromthe winter sports and on campus
athletes willing to be committed
to excellence. There are only a
few weeks left if we are going to
have a complete well rounded
team.
However, there is very good
quality effort and performance
that we can be proud of. Many
personal record s have alread y
been established and this alread y
young season has Brenda
Bissets'record setting times in the
3000 and 5000 providing a
vanguard effort for others to
follow.
We seem blessed with several
dedicated short sprinters led by
freshman Nelson Barr. Barr ran
a 6.29 55-meters (60 yards) on
Saturday to the win the indoors
fastest race. He won over the fine
sprinter and 1986 conference
champion , Kevin Mylett of
Shippensburg .
.In the qualifying heats we won
two, earned a second and a
fourth . Only Barr survived the
cuts that were based on time by
shaky place and time ju dgement,
but the effort was superb .
Wilbur Reid won the 55 meter
hurdles looking terrific doing it.
His goal to qualify outdoors for
nationals is presently on schedule.
Tom Armitage won the shot
improving to 43 feet , a fine frosh
toss, and Eugene Hill of Norristown won the 400 in 54.0 R.
T. Thomas, Derrick Hill , Earl
Wiggins and Randy Rulapaug h ,
all looked fine in their events .
The women's team, running
with a minimal skeletal crew ,
provided thrills and competitive
efforts in being the fourth best
team among nine teams'.
Led by the record setter Bisset
and sprinters Lynne Ritz , fourth
55 m and second 200 m, plus a
mile relay effort, the small group
without hurdlers , triple jumpers
and high jumpers yet, had to hustle for quality points to survive.
Distance runners Mark
Elsasser , Dan Young, Craig
Kock, Mike Marlowe and Ed An-
Tammy Trione doubled in the
800 and the 1500 running times
equivalent to recent years
season 's best. She should drop
many seconds from her times
Laurie Alexander looked com-
"I was torn ," Quinn said. "I
certainly wasn 't happy with Fordham , but the kids had all gone
to bat for meand I though I owed
them something ."
Quinn took the job Oct. 13 with
the priviso that he would not be
a candidate for the full time job .
He says that 's fine with him and
he now wants out of coaching.
When Quinn returned , his
players were relieved. "We were
all worried they would hire someone brand new and he would
come in a change everything ,"
said junior Greg Pedro . "We
thought we had the talent to have
a pretty good year if we had someone coaching us who
understood us and whom we
understood. "
They showed their talent early, winning three of four foing into the final of the Wheatshocker
Classic in Wichita , against
Wichita ' State. "Great atmosphere there," Pedro said .
"There were 14,000 people ail
going crazy ."
Fordham recieved a strong
dose of home cooking during that
game. Wichita State shot 59 free
throws , Fordham 21. Six Rams
fouled out and a seventh was
ejected for fouling flagrantly.
With a minute left , Fordham
trailed by seven.
The Rams sent the game into
overtime. Then , they trailed by
three with six seconds left and
Wichita was at the foul line. The
shot missed and Pedro nailed a
three-pointer at the buzzer. Double overtime.
By now , the Rams were convinced they were meant to win.
They took control in the second
overtime and led by eight with
one second left. Thrilled , several
players on the bench grabbed a
Gatorade bucket and went to pour
ice water on Quinn. Just then ,
Wichita State, canned a threepointer. The Rams drew a
technical foul for the Gatorade
act. Both shots were good and
suddenly , the lead was three and
Wichita State had the ball at midcourt. The ball came inbounds , a
three-point shot went up and...
"It hit nothing but net," said
Tom Parrota . "I was guarding
the guy and when it went in I
thought , 'Oh my God , we really
blew it. ' Then I saw their coach
(Eddie Fogler) going crazy and
I looked at the ref and realized he
was saying it came after the
buzzer. "
They were 4-1. It looked as if
a fairy tale were unfolding.
When the Rams awakened ,
they were back in the Bronx and
Wichita became a memory. A
loss at Hartford was followed by
a one-point loss to Seton Hall
when Pedro's lay-up was blocked at the buzzer . The close ones
were getting away in bunches, the
record was 7-5 on Jan. 10 when
they bused to Fairfield to play the
defending MA AC champion.
With 1:42 left , Fordham led ,
70-66. An important road victory
was in it's grasp. Suddenly, there
was a commotion in the stands.
the grandmother of Fairfield' s
Troy Bradford , sitting behind the
Stags bench , had collapsed.
While paramedics rushed about ,
most of the players sat on their
benches and waited. An ambulance arrived but the woman
died before reaching the hospital.
She had a heart attack. Back at the
gym , after a delay of 45 minutes ,
the presidents of the schools and
their athletic directors met at
center court. They suspended the
game.
The Rams lost their next three
games, two in overtime, including Manhatten at home.
Manhatten had been 2-26 in the
1985-86 season. Clearly, Fordham 's team was shaken. It
managed to beat Columbia , then
lost in overtime to La Salle. That
was followed by two losses in
three games, the second one at
home in overtime.
"We could easily have 16 or
17 wins by now if we had played
well in the close games," Pedro
said. "Since Wichita , we
haven 'tj It's been unbelievably
frustrating. "
For everyone. Quinn points to
the gray at his temples and says
it is recent. "The last month has
drained me completely, " he said .
"You would think , with all we
have gone through , somewhere
we would catch a break . This is
a good group of kids and it isn't
a bad team. We still deserve
something out of this season. "
It will not come easy . While
Quinn and his team struggles,
McLaughlin searches for a coach.
He wants a big name. Lefty
Dreisell has been mentioned , but
McLaughlin is afraid he might
upset alumni with such a controversial choice.
He would love ot hire Jim
Lynam , the former St. Joseph's
and American University coach
now with the Philadelphia 76ers,
but Lynam prefers the pros. He
could probably hire Pete Gillen ,
an old friend from Notre Dame
who coaches Xavier. But Gillen,
though solid , isn't a name.
McLaughlin also has talked
with Notre Dame, Dayton , De
Paul and Marquette about forming a Catholic Five, each team
playing home-and-home every
year. He believes that would put
Fordham back on the national
map in a hurry.
In his top left drawer ,
McLaughlin has a crumpled piece
of paper. There are 16 names on
it. Some of those so-called candidates, such as Dick Vitale, are
far-fetched. But one of those men
will be the next coach . And ,
Quinn thinks, that man will have
a chance to succeed.
"I'm not sure how good this
program can be," he said. "Tom
did a great job of getting us to
where we are.. .But there's talent
here for the next guy . There's a
6-10 freshman (Dan O'Sullivan)
who is going to be a player , I
think. I'd still like to see this
group somehow have a happy ending , though. They deserve it. "
The final 1:42 of the FordhamFairfield game was completed
Feb. 7 at Fordham in a Saturday
afternoon double header in Rose
Hill Gym. Fordham held on to
win th esuspended game, then
won the regularly scheduled
game. A sweep!The record was
12-11. Three days later, Fordham
Rollercoaster
from page 8
Phelps walked out on a long-term
contract to move to Notre Dame.
He went from hero to traitor
overnight. To this day , mention
of his name on campus is likely
to draw a glare.
With Phelps gone, the program
slipped and , by the time Fenders
came on the scene for the
1978-79 season, the Rams were
not even a shadow of what they
once had been. Fenders, who had
pulled a tattered program together
at Columbia, did the same at Fordham. The Rams made the National Invitational Tournament
five straight seasons, but couldn 't
quite make it back to the
NCAA's.
In the fall of 1985 ,
MacLaughlin returned. A 1969
Fordham graduate who had
grown up only a couple miles
from campus , he had gone with
Phelps to Notre Dame and then
became , the head coach at
Harvard .
But Fordham called him.
Would he be interested in returning to his alma mater as athletic
director?
He took the job in October
1985. Fenders , who had wanted
the job himself , was not thrilled.
The two did not have any major
fig hts that year , but they didn 't
go out for a beer together very
often , either. That season, for the
first time in six years, Fordham
didn 't make the NIT , finishing
13-17. McLaughlin wrote
Fenders during the summer, saying he saw no reason why Fordham should not win the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Confernce tilte
occasionally and "take the next
step."
Fenders had called his first five
years the greatest in Fordham
history. Yet McLaug hlin ' s
message was clear: do more.
"When I saw that letter ," Quinn
said, "I was amazed. Tommy
had one bad year and he was out
of favor. ''
McLaughlin says that isn't so,
but it led directly to Fenders'
decision to leave. In September ,
Rhode Island's head coaching job
opened when Brendan malone
moved to the New York Knicks.
Rhode Island offered a five-year
contract. Fenders , with three
years left on his contract , asked
Fordham to match it. "We feel ,"
McLaughlin said , "that three
years is ample security ."
Fenders didn 't. He left.
McLaughlin the fired Fenders'
two assistants, Quinn and Buddy
Mahar . Their contracts , he said
were contingent on Fenders being the coach, the coaches say
that is not true, that Fordham owcd them a paycheck until the end
of this season. Quinn turned in his
leased car and began wondering
what to do next. The players met
and voted to ask McLaughlin to
name Quinn coach.
After calls to Al McGuire and
an old friend , Georgia Tech
Cremins ,
Coach
Bobby
McLaughlin realized finding a
coach he truly wanted in October
was going ot be impossible. Two
days before practice was to begin,
he asked Quinn to take the job on
an interim basis.

1983.
But , two days later , the Rams
were upset by Holy Cross, and
last Saturday , they lost to St.
Peter 's, 86-85, in overtime, the
fifth overtime loss since the
miracle of Wichita , and Wednesday night they lost to Notre
Dame. The record is now 13-14,
with regular season games remaining before the MAAC
tournament .
There is still time for Quinn ' s
happy ending. His players could
win the MAAC tournament and
get an NCAA tournament bid .
The way this season has gone ,
they would probably play Rhode
Island in the first round...
And lose...

Back in Huskies down Wolves 74-72
training

And away we go...
Spring training just got
underway down in Florida
for the Philadelphia Phillies
and it is interesting to note
some of the faces that are
there and some that are not.
The most surprising addition to the camp was that of
Steve Carlton. It seems that
the four-time Cy Young
Award winner is getting
another chance to make the
team.
The 42 year-old veteran
will , however, report to the
camp as an unsigned , nonroster player.
It seems that Phillies' pitching coach Claude Osteen
had watched Carlton and it
appeared that he was throwing much better than a year
ago so they will allow him
to work-out with the team ,
but are making no promises.
The most disappointing
face missing from the
Phillies' camp this spring is
that of Lance Parrish.
Although the two parties,
the Phillies and Parrish , had
reached an agreement on
terms of a one year contract , they were unable to
come to terms in another
area.
That area was the
possibility of a law-suit by
'.. what baseball p layer
playing in New York
doesn 't have f o u r
cars? '
Parrish against tlie Phillies
and major league baseball
with the charge of
collusion.
It seems that Tom Reich ,
Parrish 's agent made threats
to that affect over the past
few weeks and the Phillies
wanted a clause in the contract protecting them from
legal action.
But since the entire 1980
graduating class of Harvard
Law School could not come
up with a satisfactory middle ground on the issue, the
two parties decided that a
mutual parting of ways was
in order.
Another face not at
workouts was that of Kevin
Gross. His salary arbitration has yet to be decided .
The hot and cold performer has asked the
Phillies for $535,000 but
they are only offering
$420,000.
Take the money , Kevin!
So what if you can 't take
Shane Rawley out to dinner
one night without that extra
$100,000. Just make sure
that the two of you pitch
well and stay healthy this
year.
Before I go, will someone
please explain to me why
the New York Yankees '
Ron Kittle is haggling so
much over his salary?
The guy has been offered
a salary only $50,000 less
than what he asked for. So
what the heck is he doing?
My guess is he needs that
extra 50 thousand for a, uh ,
fourth car, yeah that 's it. I
mean, what baseball player
p laying in New York
doesn 't have four cars?
Oh, my mistake, Sean
Sakata only has two along
with Claudell Washington 's
one. But I give them a year,
before they start griping for
more money .
Where is Sid Fynch when
you need him?
Imagine all the things that the
Huskies had to overcome on
Saturday to defeat the Cheyney
Wolves in a 74-72 come from
behind victory that eliminated
Cheyney from playoff contention .
They had already clinched second place and a home playoff
spot for the first round , they were
playing in Cheyney , a place that
the Huskies haven 't won in years
and Cheyney was in a must win
situation. How can you get up for
a game like that?
Still , the game was well played
early on as both teams played
competitively, with Bloomsburg
holding a one point lead 12-11.
Then , the Huskies became tentative on offense and Cheyney 's
Clarence Green became Mr.
Everything. Green rebounded
and scored six points in a
Cheyney 12-2 run to take a nine
point lead at 23-14.
Green and Charles Jones continued to dominate inside and the
Huskies shot horrendously as
Cheyney took a 39-27 lead into
the locker room at half.
As poorl y as Bloomsbug
played the first half , they played
as well in the second half. Johnny
Williams was assigned to Green
and did a masterful job defensively to hold Green to only two second half points , both from the
foul line.
The Huskies came out hard in
the second half and began to
dominate early. With strong play
inside by Alex Nelcha and Dave
Carpenter, the Huskies started the
second half with a 15-2 tear , and
actually took the lead at 42-4 1 only 4:15 into the second half.
Give Cheyney credit as they
hung in tough and took a small
lead of three points with 8:24 to
go in the game.
But the absence of offensive
th reat of Green and the Wolves '
center George Lee on the sideline
with and injury proved to be too
much for Cheyney to overcome .
Dave Carpenter and Steve
Melchior dominated the inside
and Bloomsburg went on a 12-2
run to take a 67-59 lead with 4:18
left in the game.
Cheyney kept battling back as
Bloomsburg could not put the
game away at the free th row line.
A 10-4 run by Cheyney at the
end of the game fell short as the
final
score read
74-72 ,
Bloomsburg.
The Huskies will now play the
Kutztown Golden Bears tonight at
Nelson Fieldhouse. This is a
Pennsylvania Confernce playoff
garqe with the winner earning the
ri ght to travel to Millersville on
Wednesday night to determine the
PSAC
Eastern
Division
Champion.
To preview tonights game, the
two teams split the regular season
games , each winning on their
home floor. The Huskies won
69-66 on December 3, when Bill
Connelly and Joe Stepanski led ail
scorers with 20 points.
The Golden Bears squeaked by
the Huskies , 75-74 on February
4, as Maurice Williams nailed a
foul shot with no time on the
clock to ice the game.
So toni ght ' s game should
definitel y be a thriller as the two
face off for the rubber game of
this year 's meetings.

out of a job. It was messy ."
What Quinn and the players did
not know was that Fenders '
resignation was merely the opening act in a season-long
melodrama. It is a story that involves resignations and firings ,
rumors, innuendo and confusion.
It involves one game in which
Fordham almost blew an eightpoint lead in the final second and
another suspended because of a
death in the stands. There is one
miracle victory that defies belief
and five stra ight overtime losses
that mystify everyone.
"It 's been wild , right from the
day Fenders left ," said Andre
McClendon , a freshman guard .
"One day it's one thing; the n ext
day it 's something else. Just when
you think nothing crazier can
happen , something does. You get
to the point where you don 't even
think about things anymore
because , if you do , you 'll be
crazy , too. "
Fordham is a Catholic school
in the Bronx with about 8,400
undergraduates. It has a long
basketball tradition , although its
most famous alumni was football
player Vince Lombardi. Its campus , hard by the Pelham and
Mosholu parkway s, is a pretty
pocket of land in an otherwise
dreary area.
Fordham 's basketball teams
Fordham cagers weather a rollercoaster season
by John Feinstein
The Washington Post
On October 2 , 1986, Tom
Fenders , the basketball coach at
Fordham University , called his
players together. He had stunning news. After seven years at
Fordham , he was resigning to
become the coach at Rhode
Island .
His name had been linked with
other coaching jobs in the past.
It was common knowledge that he
was job-huntin g. He had openly
sought the University of Miami
job in 1984 and his name had
been mentioned in connection
with other schools.
The players had heard this and
they knew that Fenders and Fordham Athletic Director Frank
MacLaughlin were not on the best
of terms. Yet when Fenders told
them he was leaving, they were
shocked. The start of practice was
only 13 days away . Even Bob
Quinn. Fenders top assistant and
close friend , was stunned .
"I knew Tom was going to
Rhode Island to talk about the
job ," he said. But I never expected him to come back and say ,
'I'm going. ' It caught everyone
by surprise...The young kids
were confused. The seniors felt
like the rug had been pulled out
from under them. I figured I was
have been to the NCAA tournament th ree times, in 1953-54 and
1971. That last time , the coach
was "Digger" Phelps, a 29-yearold upstart who took a group of
talented players recruited by his
predecessor , Ed Conlin , and got
them to believe in themselves.
The Rams went 26-3, upset Notre
Dame in Madison Square Garden
and took then top-ranked Marquette into overtime before losing. That team sold out the
Garden twice and breathed life into New York City basketball .
Phelps became a folk hero.
Fordham finnally lost in the
NCAA round of 16 to Villanova.

over Jack Bell of Slippery Rock,
as the Huskies defeated the
Rockets by a match score of
22-20.
Producing winners in four out
of the first five weight classes, including the first three , the
Huskies took total control immediately and forced Slippery
Rock to di g out of a hug hole.
They did accomplish that feat
however as they were able to gain
victories in three of the next four
weight classes and take the lead ,
20-19 ,
going
into
the
heavyweight match.
Bruce Wallace slammed the
door on the thought of a comeback victory as he man-handled

Hartford Whalers general
manager Emile Francis is one of
those who believe you can never
have too many defensemen.
Thursday reinforced Francis '
way of thinking.
First, Dana Murzyn was found
riding a stationary bicycle in the
training room. He will be out five
to 10 days because of a sprained
shoulder suffered Wednesday
night in New Jersey.
Later , Murzyn 's place on the
bike was taken by Joel Quenneville. He skated for the first
time in two months Thursday, but
a dislocated Shoulder will not
allow him to return to the lineup
for another month or so.
With a division title within
reach , this is no time for the
Whalers to be minus two starting
defensemen. But it 's no time to
panic either.
Why? Well , one reason is Randy Ladoucer.
Obtained January 12 from
Detroit for right winger Dave
Barr , Ladoucer stepped into the
lineup to take up the slack caused by Quenneville 's absence and
give the Whalers some added
depth on defense.
Ladoucer had the dubious
distinction of finishing minus-54
last season , the worst plus-minus
ratio in the league.
"I got in the record book , "
Ladoucer said , "but I'm not real
proud of it. "
The Detroit Red Wings gave up
a whopping 415 goals last year ,
easily the most in the league.
Defense in the Motor City went
the way of the F.dsel. And
Ladoucer piled up negative
numbers because he got so much
ice time.
His play with the Whalers has
shown that he is not as bad as his
rating last year indicates.
Ladoucer has been a dependable ,
stay-at-home defender cut from
almost the same mold as
Quenneville.
In 15 games with the Whalers ,
Ladoucer is a plus-3.
' 'I'm not going to get 20 goals,
like Dave Babych ," Ladoucer
said. "I' m going to move the
puck up the ice and take care of
our zone. It's relatively easy to
do with the way this team plays. ''
"The way I'm playing has a lot
to do with the team I'm playing
for . This is a defense-oriented
team that can move the puck well.
We have the fourth or fifth best
goals against average in the
league (3.27 , fourth) ."

because of concern about election
procedures during the recent
CGA Election Day .
The CGA is holding the reelection following a recommendation made by the Election Appeals Committee. CGA has also
taken the recommendation to appoint Joseph Denelsbeck the Reelection Chairman.
In reviewing election procedure , CGA decided to make
some changes. The changes are
as follows:
1. The voting will take place
from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in

9. The ballots will be placed in
the Community Activities safe if
there is a time delay between
emptying the ballot boxes and the

Editor 's Note: The following questions were asked to both
presidential candidates. This questioning was done to give the
students 'a better idea of what stands the candidates have.
1. What steps, if any, would you like to see CGA take
in improving the Campus Judicial System?
2. How do you propose to meet the demand for more
places to study?
3. Currently, classes are forbidden from being held
in the Union. What do you think of this policy and why?

Court debates 'Twilight Zone disaster
by Paul Feldman
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
In a highly pointed session of
cross-examination Thursday,
director John Landis staunchly
maintainted that he had no reason
to believe that the 1982 "Twili ght
Zone" filming sequence in which
actor Vic Morrow and two child
actors were killed would prove
dangerous.
Landis, his voice choking while
describing the tragedy, also stuck
to his story that more than a
dozen prosecution witnesses gave
untruthful testimony in the involuntary manslaughter trial that
began last September.
"I think it's very easy after an
accident to make pronouncements
about how things should or
should not be done," the 36-yearold filmmaker asserted at one
point during the tense, day-long
court session. "I think it's simple in hindsi ght to make vast and
broad statements that ultimately
are self-serving and puts yourself
in good light. "
However, Deputy Dist. Attorney Lea Purwin D'Agostino
who led the blistering crossexamination, told reporters afterward that the one person whose
truthfulness and motives she
questions is Landis'
Citing a lengthy series of
witnesses whose testimony Landis has contradicted- including
camera operators , a casting director ,a production secretary, a still
photographer, fire safety officers
and the parents of the dead
children- D'Agostino declared ,
"I find it somewhat incredible... why would these people
manufacture this evidence. "
Student fee increases discussed
by Susan Fallows
Staff Writer
Several proposed increases in
student fees were discussed at last
Wednesday's Council of Trustees
workshop . The increases in meal
plan , room , and health services
charges would primarily affect
students living on campus.
Dr. Robert Parrish , vice president of administration , said that
the the cost of the 19 meal plan
would be increased $13 from
$405 to $418 due to the new food
service contract that allowed for
a 4 percent wage increase called
for by the collective bargaining
agreement. Dr. Jerrold Griffis ,
vice president of student life ,
pointed out that the new contract
was more efficient and that the
menu had been completely
changed.
Dr. Parrish also noted that
renovations in the metering
system showed that the Scranton
Commons required more electricity than previously estimated.
According to the newly proposed residence hall budget, room
fees would be increased 2.5 percent, from $556 to $570. This increase would cover a 4 percent
salary hike, an increase in student
wages and higher trash removal
costs .
Mr. John Scrimgeour, of the
Counseling Center, explained that
a proposed $3 increase in the student health fee was needed in
order to keep up with growing
costs of health services.
Scrimgeour pointed out that a
suggested change in the policy requiring that students with 9
credits or more, instead of the
previous 4 credits , pay the fee
would eliminate $13,000 to
$14 ,000 in health services
revenue. This loss, coupled with
increased student use of
medicines carried by the Health
Center, made the hike necessary .
Scrimgeour also presented the
council with a plan to raise the
health fee by $5 in order to improve services , rather than merely maintain them with the $3 increase. The extra services would
include physical therapy, a nurse
practitioner and a health educator.
In other business, Dr. Griffis
talked about the $120,OOO smoke
alarm installation that is required
by law to be in place in residence
halls by 1989. The alarms would
be wired to the fire system and
would place an automatic call to
the fire station.
Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr.
Daniel Pantaleo informed the
trustees that the proposed
Bachelor of Science in Health
Physics had been approved by the
necessary committees and that the
initial funding for the program
had been received from the state.
Dr. Pantaleo also reported that
an advertisement had been approved by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Search
Committee and that the committee was now seeking to .develop
a pool of qualified candidates.
Director of Development, Anthony Ianiero, gave the council an
Robert Anthony
Edward Gobora
update on the status of university funding. The 1986 fundraising
efforts yieded $835,621.73 in
gifts and pledges. Ianiero
highlighted the record $201,000
raised by the Alumni Association
and the 62 percent rise in athletic
funding _that had helped provide
a new football scoreboard and a
baseball shed.
Dr. Griffis suggested that the
council look into reinstating the
mandatory student health insurance policy that was dropped
a year ago because the school did
not have the facilities to monitor
the policies . The school now has
the equi pment required to
monitor the program and
reinstatement of this policy would
release CGA from liability in
several areas.
Bloomsburg University President Harry Ausprich gave his
report to the council , noting the
success of his recent informal
meeting with CGA officers and
with some of the university 's
foreign exchange students . He
also said that he had scheduled in
the next few weeks visits to the
residence halls to talk with
students.
The workshop ended with a
brief outline of the planned
Bloomsburg University 150th
Anniversary celebration in 1989
by Vice President for Institutional
Advancement, John Walker. He
said a 20-25 member committee
to oversee the preparations would
be appointed next month.
The prosecutor also vigorously questioned whether Landis was
putting on an act earlier in the day
when he began sniffling and
speaking haltingly during direct
examination by his lawyer, James
Neal.
"It was a perfectly orchestrated
script , just the right amount of
hesitancy , just the right amount
of looking down , the right
amount of looking at the jury.. .1
frankly wish I had an Oscar I
could have given him for best
performance, " she said . "If
you 're not crying when the
parents of the children were sobbing their heart out on the witness
stand (last fall) then I don 't know
what other time you would cry .''
Inside
the
courtroom ,
D'Augostino also attempted to
pound the point home to jurors .
As she began her eagerlyawaited cross-examination ,
D'Augostino acidly asked the
director if he needed a tissue.
Landis
declined ,
and
D'Augostino proceeded to ask
him if directors can teach actors
to cry.
It depends on the scene,
replied Landis , who has directed
such box-office hits as 'Animal
House' and 'Trading Places. '
The trim-bearded, bespectacled director later noted that he did
cry himself once as an actor- by
placing glycerine in his eyes.
That was in his first feature production , the 1971 film , 'Schlock,'
in which he was playing "an ape
in makeup."
Landis , the first defense
witness in the trial that began last
September , will continue on tlie
witness stand for the third day
Monday .
He and four film crew
associates are charged with involuntary manslaughter for
allegedly acting with criminal
negligence in the deaths of Morrow , 53, Myca Dinh Le, 7, and
Renee Chen , 6.
The actors were killed when
struck by a helicopter that spun
out of control and plummeted
from the sky after being hit by the
fireball of a special-effects explosive during the filming of a
mock Vietnam battle sequence.
1. "I feel that a student
has both a responsibility to
the university , but also to
the Town of Bloomsburg .
One consideration might be
to hold the hearing at a time
when both the university
and the town can prosecute,
thus eliminating a seperate
hearing process. "
1. "I think the Judical
System should be restructured , if , in fact, it is
violating the students rights.
If the students are not allowed to be tried by any type
of court before any official
hearing by state or government, and it is a violation of
their constitutional rights, I
will work to see that this
practice is abolished.
"I think it is vital that the
school be aware of the
rights and freedoms of
students in order for it to
survive."
2. "I feel that a classroom
should be opened up as a
trial run. If a lot of the
students use the classroom
and it seems to be a suitable
condition to study in , then ,
possibly , another classroom
could be opened if more
space is needed.
2. "The demand for
places to study could be
done in a two step
procedure:
One, the Commons could
be used to handle the
overflow of students looking for places to study.
Two, classrooms that are
not being used for courses
on a particular day could
also be used to handle
students needing study
areas.
"It is important to provide suitable study areas ,
since studying and learning
is the main purpose of this
university , and I would
work to find a solution and
encourage input from other
students. "
3. "I feel it is a good
policy. The Union is a place
where students go to relax.
If there were ever the case
that classroom space was
desperatly needed and it
was the only alternative ,
then I feel the upstairs in the
Union could be used. I
don 't feel , however , this is
a good idea . If at all possible, the Union should be
kept as a place to get the
tension of classes off you
mind. "
4. "In order to accomadate student needs , my
first objective would be to
create better recreational
facilities on the lowercampus. A lot can be done
by just expanding Centennial Gym.
"I feel free weights
would provide a great solution to a very evident problem on campus. Down the
road , I feel a long term pro-
3. "I do not think classes
should be held in the Union.
I see the Union as a place
to relax and enjoy social interaction between students.

Unionis to provide students
with opportunity to unwind
from pressure filled days.

Editor
In order to grow , one must be
willing to respect the op inions of
others , for it is throug h this process of what we call "criticism "
that we can learn from our
mistakes and grow.
As a newspaper , The Voice
has welcomed opinions from
members of the university and
town community on what we can
do to improve as a paper. To us ,
our audience means everything,
therefore it is paramount to us to
print what we feel is important to
our audience.
In the past , we, at this paper ,
have heard comments and
criticisms from many factions of
the surrounding community , including administrators , students
and even members of our own
staff that have made criticisms
that they wished to be printed.
Recentl y, The Voice has gained the reputation as an investigative , as well as informative , paper for some , while
others have labeled this paper a
scandal monger , tasteless , and a
host of other unfavorable comments concerning our editorial
probity .
From those that take the latter
viewpoint we have heard much
lately. Additionall y, these comments have bothered many of our
staff members to the point where
they wish to respond in print.
Simply stated , I , as Editor of
this paper , will not allow this to
happen.
In the past , there have been instances where people have sent in
pieces that were critical of this
paper , onl y to have their comments edited so as to not offend
the people to whom they were
directed.
As journalists , even at the college level , we must be prepared
to meet criticism head-on and not
be devastated every time
somebod y comes along who
disagrees with the way we do
things.
There comes a time in life
where we have to assume a certain amount of adult responsibility
for our actions. Part of this is the
process known as "taking your
lumps ," and jump ing up and
down and stomping your feet at
every sign of criticism is not a
very adult way to do this.
You , as members of our audience , have every ri ght to critcize what we do, and we have the
responsibility to listen to what
you say , and , if necessary , act
accordingly.
If rebuttals from staff members
were allowed to be printed , we
would face the unappealing
possibility of having the commentary page becoming a "point counterpoint " arena between
staff and readers. This is not the
purpose of the page.
Opinions from the campus
community are more than
welcome and no attempt will be
made to silence the viewpoints of
others.
One other point: While we do
honor most requests from people
who do not wish to have their real
names used on letters to the
editor , we must always know
who the person is who wrote the
letter. Letters dropped off
anonymously will not , under any
circumstances whatsoever, be
printed.
Finally, we are your paper and
we seek to fulfill your needs as
readers . We do not require a pat
on the back to do our jobs and we
do not operate under die pretense
that we are above criticism.
All positive , as well as
negative , comments are both appreciated and desired if we are to
do the best job possible in being
a representative newspaper.
The time has come to grow up
Editor:
I am writing this letter to The
Voice because of the problem of
vandalism. There is definitel y a
problem with vandalism on
campus.
As vice-president of" Luzerne
Hall , I noticed an excessive
amount of it occurring this year.
I cannot understand the reason for
this , aren 't college students supposed to be young adults.
One thing that reall y gets me
is to see someone kicking and

punching a candy machine. I can
see why people become frustrated
with the machine when it takes
their money , but there is no
reason to abuse the machine.
It won 't return the money lost ,
no matter how hard the machine
is kicked . All that is necessary is
going to the front desk of the
dorm where the machine is
located or the Information Desk ,
if the machine is in the Union ,
and fill out a sli p of paper to be
reimbursed.
I know from experience that
students don 't always get their
money back. I filled out one a
year ago and I have yet to be
reimbursed. May be if students
got their money back more ofte n
the vandalism on these machines
might decrease.
But what is the reason for such
vandalism as stealing someone's
hubcaps or smashing out the
tailli ghts on someone's car. Is it
insanity or what? I believe in having fun , but damaging someone
else 's property is not right.
The offender should put
himself in the victim 's place.
How would he like to have someone smash his car mirrors after
he spent time and money to make
those car payments?
We all know abut the vandalism in the KUB games room
because of the last issue of the
paper. It makes you wonder if it
is college students alone because
I ve seen a number of high school
students in the games room in the
past. But what is the explanation
for vandalism in the dorms?
An example. Luzerne Hall had
nearly $1300 in damage last
semester. Such minor things as
throwing toilet paper all over the
bathroom to tearing two lounge
chairs in the recreation room
which totalled $300. Such things
cannot go unnoticed. When
things like this occur in the
dorms, all the residents must pay
unless the offender is found.
Many residents have complained to me because we make the innocent pay . We do this to curb
vandalism and teach the residents
to respect the dorm 's property .
The dorms don 't have the money
to pay for the damages
themselves.
The majority of the students
respect the property of others, but
there are a few who don 't care.
If the offenders could be caught
and punished , they might change
their ways and mature. We as
students must inform the resident
advisors or someone in charge if
we see vandalism occur.
I just wish some people would
mature, because like many other
students , I am becoming annoyed
with paying for other people 's
stupidity . My advice to the few
who vandalize is "PLEASE
GROW UP. "

Reagan backs social medicine
by George Will
Editorial Columnist
The Reagan adminstration is
waxing wicked , according to
some conservatives. They are not
talking about the Iran debacle ,
although they may blame that for
the wickedness.
The cause of their consternation is President Reagan 's proposal to expand Medicare to provide catastrophic health insurance
for the elderly. The plan would
pay for unlimited days of hospital
care for Medicare patients , who
would face out-of-pocket expenses of only $2 ,000 a year.
Some conservatives think
Reagan is proposing this only as
a means to jump-start his stalled
second term , or because Congress would enact it anyway . But
perhaps Reagan thinks it is a good
idea , politicall y and socially.
Elderly voters are diligent
voters , and the children of the
elderly are apt to have school and
collegeTage. children when their
parents are vulnerable to huge
medical bills. So the middle-aged
middle class feels vulnerable too.
Only one in 35 Medicare
beneficiaries (800,000 of 28
million) would benefit from
Reagan 's plan each year , but
most of the elderly face acutecare expenses before they die.
Although one in five Medicare
beneficiaries will need custodial
help, only one in 16 has private
insurance for long-term nursinghome care . Reagan 's plan does
not cover that—yet. For the elderly whose expenses exceed $2 ,000
a year , 80 percent of those expenses go not to the hospitals but
to nursing homes.
Reagan 's plan is sure to be expanded , leaving him looking opportunistic to conservative critics
of any such plan , and looking
grudging to supporters of the
principle of such care.
The coming debate about ex-
panding the plan to cover nursing homes will shock the majority of persons over 65. Surveys
show that a majority erroneously thinks Medicare covers
nursing-home bills. Such bills are
covered only by Medicaid and
only after the elderl y have
qualified for welfare by exhausting their savings.
Reagan 's plan comes from Otis
Bowen , 69 this montii, the former
governor of Indiana and now
secretary of Health and Human
Services. He is a physician whose
wife died of cancer and whose
mother is in a nursing home.
Bowen syas nursing-home care
is too expensive for government
to pay for. In 1986, Americans
spent $39 billion on such care ,
more than $22 ,000 per patient.
The eldely and their families paid
half. Most ofthe rest was paid by
Medicaid after the patients were
impoverished. Private insurance
paid 1 percent.
Bowen favors tax incentives to
encourage people to make private
plans for long term care. Tax incentives get results but clash with
the recent reverence for tax
"simplification. " Besides, Congress knows there is much more
political mileage in voting direct
benefits rather than mere incentives for self provision.
This year or soon , Congress
will add some coverage for
nursing-home care, home care,
prescription drugs and physician
fees not covered by Medicare.
Furthermore, Reagan 's plan will
pay primarily for patients suffering terminal illnesses. Next will
come care for , say , the 35-yearold father who has been in an
accident.
The initial cost will be $4.92
per month , paid voluntarily on
top of the existing $17.90
Medicare charge . The $4.92
charge will be indexed to inflation , which is not dead , only
sleeping. The danger is that the
new premium will not rise nearly fast enough. Nothing is more
certain than that Congress will
expand coverage faster than it
raises charges.
However , one thing is as certain as that: The program will be
more expensive than expected.
Expensive pharmacological and
other technologies are coming.
Today, while the general inflation
rate is about 1 percent , inflation
in medical costs is 8 percent.
The impulse to finance the
coming corage partly from
general funds-which means from
more borrowing ; we have a
deficit-will be,irresistible , meaning not resisted .
The "Reagan revolution, " like
most revolutions , is a wayward
thing. In year seven, it is emp hasizing sex education (AIDS)
and another increment on the
already substantial edifice of
socialized medicine. Two cheers
for waywardness: The administration is defensible on both
counts.
with
Reagan
says ,
characteristic exaggeration , that
his health plan will "give
Americans the last full measure
of security ." It will not, but now
that he has endorsed that ideal ,
his objections to congressional
enrichments of his plan can concern only die price, not principle.
However , Reagan has never opposed the principle involved.
To tlie recurring surprise of
some of his most ardent and least
observant supporters , Reagan is
a "New Deal Conservative"
quite reconciled to modern
government's steady impulse to
build a "social insurance state."
Reagan is being Reagan . He
probably is the last president the
nation shall have for whom the
Depression , and FDR's response
to it , was a direct formative influence. His legacy will include
one of the most important postNew Deal enrichments of the
welfare state.
AIDS test requirement justified
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
A bill before the Connecticut
General Assembly would require
couples apply ing for a marriage
license to be tested for AIDS.
Such a prerequisite may seem
intrusive, but given the deadly
consequences of the disease , it
makes sense to err on the side of
caution.
Connecticut already requires
couples to undergo a blood test
for syphillis. Premarital testing
for AIDS seems to be a natural
extention of the state 's responsibility to control the spread of
sexually transmitted diseases. In
the case of syphillis and AIDS
there is a special need to protect
unborn children.
Dr. Richard Melchreit , AIDS
program coordinator for the state
Department of Health Services ,
has said the money "could be put
to better use in developing educational programs , counseling and
voluntary testing. "
One question yet to be
answered is what would happen
to a person who tests positive.
The bill does not address that
point.
Connecticut law allows the
state to deny a marriage license
to a person who tests positive for
syphillis and a doctor determines
that the person is infectious.
Unlike syphillis, AIDS cannot be
cured , a situation that contributes
to the complexity of this issue.
But for now, simply detecting
tht disease and informing couples
would reduce the risk of AIDS
for newlyweds and their
offspring.

In 1964 , the Mustang created
the ponycar market, the class of
vehicles which includes the
Camaro , Firebird , Cougar , Barracuda (later called the 'Cuda),
AMX , and Javelin. It set the standard for pony cars, the greatest requirement bieng mat the back seat

Ford introduced the Mustang
on April 17, 1964. Mustangs produced in that year , therefore , are
called 1964 '/2 rather than 1964
models. The introduction and
development ofthe Mustang was
a stroke of marketing genius.
A young Ford executive by the

The chassis was stolen from the

costs for Ford . The drivetrains ,
from motor to rear end , were
likewise stolen fro m the almost
forgetable Falcon. So what made
the Mustang such a success?

manufacturer knew there was a
body. It was available in a convertable model which perfectl y
met the needs of high school
cruisers . The ragtop actuall y outsold the hardtop model in 1964.
Another factor contributing to
the Mustang 's success was that it
was the 1964 Indianapolis 500
pace car , something that has
never been known to hurt sales.
Attractive styling inside and out
coupled with creative promotion
and marketing still can not full y
explain why the Mustang has
become a legend.
What really sells cars , and
crates legend , is power.
The Mustang had plenty of
power, even with the straight-six
cylinder motor. The 'Stang was
a light , nimble and responsive
vehicle. With the top down , the
Mustang was an experience entirely new to early-sixties drivers.
When coupled with the 271
horse-power, 289 cubic inch four
barrel motor , quarter-mile times
became very impressive and
speed limit signs became black
and white blurs.
Weigimng in at just under
3,000 pounds , the Mustang
caught the competition off guard.
Chrysler 's Barracuda and
Chevrolet's Camaro were not
released until 1966, a full year
and a half after the 'Stang .
The Mustang created a new
market in the car world. This car
was a new concept and a gamble
that payed off well. It drew immediate attention and the admiration of many auto experts.
'Soldiers Story' proves
dull and unsuspenseful
by J. Barbush
for The Voice
A Soldier 's Story is a film about
soldiers in the army who supposedly face racial tensions in the
1940' s which eventually leads to
the murder of a fellow black officer. Although the plot has the
basis for a good movie , A
Soldier 's Story soon becomes a
rather unsuspenseful and
repititiousmovie.
The story takes place in a
southern army barracks during
World War II. Captain Davenport , a black officer in the army ,
comes from Washington to investigate the death of Sergeant
Waters , also a black man .
Davenport is not greeted
warmly by the other soldiers.
Many people in charge ofthe barracks believe that it would be best
to leave the case alone to avoid
any racial conflict.
Davenport concludes that this
is a way of covering up for the
white officers , who Davenport
suspects of murdering Waters .
Davenport's conclusion is further
justified when he learns that the
investi gation lasted only two
days.
Davenport then begins to question soldiers in the platoon. Upon
a series of flashbacks, the viewer
learns that nearly everone has
some personal vendetta against
Waters.
More flashbacks show the night
of Waters ' death. Two white officers , Lieutenant Bird and
Lieutenant Wilcox , find Waters
drunk and give him quite a
beating. Bird then draws his gun
and the flashback ends.
The film contains no suspense
whatsoever. It is interrogation
after interrogation which eventuall y leads to the solving of the
murder.
Many of the flashbacks make
the movie difficult to understand.
The viewer is not always aware
if the scene is occurring in the
present or has occurred in the
past.
The movie doesn 't really grasp
the racial tension evident in the
south at the time. Yes , there are
some instances such as namecalling and cleaning of the officers 'quarters by the blacks , but
the movie ignores the aspect of
what is going on inside the black
soldier's mind.
Also, the biggest conflict in tlie
movie is when Sergeant Waters
argues with other black soldiers ,
a non-racial conflict.
Altogether, with it's dissapdinting dialogue and unsuspenseful
plot, A Soldier 's Story turns out
to be a real let down for the
viewer.
Campus changes appearance
submitted by R. W. Fromm
for the Voice
Seemingly every week one
notices changes for the better in
the physical appearance of
Bloomsburg University . A new
sidewalk , fresh p lantings at
several locations, and a renovated
and brightened interior figure in
this development. Considerable
physical change has been the
norm at Bloomsburg at least in recent decades and some change
has taken place occasionally over
a long period of time.
This, of course , means that we
had a very different campus years
ago. A 1913 map shows that a
working campus of nineteen aeres
for Bloomsburg State Normal
School was bounded by
Lightstreet Road , Penn Street ,
East Second Street and Spruce
Street.

Platoon not a typical movie
by Sharon Getty
for The Voice
Armed with a notepad , a pen
and an objective mind , I settle
down into my theater seat for
what is to be two very entertaining and enlightening hours.
The lights dim and the audience, which has previously
been alive with excitement , now
sits silently, anxiousl y, and impatiendy for what they have come
to see.
In large, bold letters , the word
Platoon flash upon the screen and
from that point forward the audience's attention is captured.
Suddenly, the audience as well
as the infantry -men ol Platoonare
thrown into the combat zones of
Vietnam. ^
Those who have come to the
movie; perhaps for entertainment
or for reasons of curiosity, now
find themselves marching and
stumbling their way th rough the
dense jung les with the stench of
death and the fear of impending
danger invading their own senses.
The audience wrenches with
pain as another innocent , young
soul is struck.down by morta r
fire .
They feel the urge to cry out in
Drugs
from page 4
another drug. What would he tell
his parents about the hospital bill?
Two uniformed paramedics
finally arrived , lifted him onto a
stretcher and quickly rolled him
out. His face was a gray ish blue ,
his mouth hung open , rimmed
with blood , and his eyes were
rolled back with a yellowish color on the rims.
The paramedics could be seen
moving rhythmically forward and
back through the small windows
of the ambulance, whose lights
threw a red wash over the stunned watchers on the porch. The
paramedics ' hands were massaging his chest when someone said ,
"Did you tell them he took
psilocy bin? Did you tell mem?"
"No , I... "
"My God, so tell them - do you
want him to die?" Two people
ran to tell the paramedics the student had eaten mushrooms five
minutes before the attack.
It seemed irrelevant to talk as
the ambulance pulled away . My
friend , who still saw his father 's
image, muttered , "That guy 's
dead. " I put my arms around him
half to comfort him, half to stop
him from saying things I couldn 't
believe.
The next day, when I called someone who lived in the house, I
found that my friend was right.
My hands began to shake and
my eyes filled with tears for someone I didn 't know . Weeks later
the pain was dulled , but I still
disgust and anger as a village is
ravaged and destroyed with the
same intensity as that directed
toward the yellow enemy.
Viewers * feel for the young
soldier , who try s seeking a formidable existance beyond the
realm of wealth, and education ,
suddenl y finds himself realizing
the magnitude of his mistake in
becoming involved in the
senselessness of mis creature called war.
His name is Chris Tay lor
(Charlie Sheen) and he is symbolic ofa young romantic , whose
life and ideals are caught between
the forces of good and evil.
His compassion had once
separated him from the common
r;anks .of, his. comrades . Embittered and emotionally scarred by
the senselessness of his and his
country 's plight , his compassion
now fades as he becomes as
ruthless and driven as the other
soldiers.
From the creative mind of
Oliver Stone comes the impassioned re-creation of the Vietnam
experience.
However , Platoon is not a
typical rendition of a Vietnam
film , one in which the audience
passively watches as the script of
a documentary is portrayed on the
can 't unravel the knot of emotion
that has moved from my stomach
to my head. When I told one
friend what happened , she shook
her head and spoke of the stupidity of filling your body with
chemical substances. People who
do drugs after seeing that didn 't
value their lives to hi ghly, she
said.
No lessons: But others refused
to read any universal lessons from
the incident. Many of those I
spoke to about the event considered him the victim of a freak
accident , randomly struck down
by drugs as a pedestrian might be
hit by a speeding taxi. They
screen . No , Platoon is much
more.
Whether or not the viewer is an
ex-soldier who has seen first-hand
what Stone re-creates in the film ,
the viewer ventures with the
soldiers into the hot , malariainfested jung les of Cambodia.
The sights , sounds and revelations become second-nature as the
audience moves in synchronicity
with the soldiers .
The transformation of evil to
good is apparent as Chris struggles to regain the dignity and
compassion relative to a soul
whose intentions are good , but
temporarily misguided.
This is not a movie which can
be viewed passively by the audience. It 's purpose is not to
glorify death or make death and
destruction commonplace. The
purpose is to expose the viewer
to the realities of pitting man
against man , brother against
brother.
As the credits appear on the
screen , the audience, having now
experienced die trials and tribulations of our nation 's soldiers ,
slowly leaves the theater, seemingly older and wiser. Their appearance resembling that of a
veteran.
Couldn 't it? Now when I hear
people discussing drugs I'm
haunted by the image of him lying on the floor , his body straining to rid itself of substances he
chose to take . Painful , undignified , unnecessary - like a
wartime casualty. But even in
war , at least, lessons are supposed to be learned , so that old
mistakes are not repeated. If this
death cannot make people think
and change, that will be an even
greater tragedy .

Science Hall and Carver Hall ,
then called Institute Hall , were
the only two buildings in 1913
now a part of our present campus. Old North Dormitory , a
men 's dorm , stood where the present much lager Luzerne Hall is.
Just south of it were four tennis
courts bounded in part by east Second Street.
Behind Institute Hall and connected to it by an enclosed
walkway was the Model School
Building later called Noetling
Hall ,' a th ree story building containing twenty-eight roomsjnany
used by Bloomsburg^dniversity
The Main Dormitory was a
four story building with a main
portion and an added wing. A
long porch of 140 feet extended
across the front of this building
"and from it , may be obtained
one of the grandest views in
eastern Pennsylvania. "
This building, demolished in
1974, was in the area where
Lycoming Hall now stands. Any
view form mis vantage point now
is obliterated by Elwell Hall. The
Main Dormitory was more than
a dormitory as it also housed the
kitchen ,
dining
room ,
classrooms , and the library .
Two last buildings shown on
the 1913 map and located approximately where the maintenance
building and part of Northumberland Hall is now where
two labeled barn and zoo. The
barn was probably left over from
the time when much of the food
for the dining hall was grown and
raised on campus. At this writing
we can only guess that the zoo
was where some zoology animals
were kept. Buckalew Place,
although existing at this time, was
not yet owned by the school.
-In addition to the campus
grounds being much smaller, and
the buildings being architecturally
of their time, the major difference
in 1913 was the greater spacious
feeling and the noticeable woodsy area of the Grove. The
spacious feeling is, alas, gone
forever , but with current and
future plantings growing every
year, someday the campus will
regain a considerable measure of
greenery that long ago enhanced
this campus.
Kruse's performance
offers wide variety
by Jacky West
for The Voice
Pop , folk and original compositions were performed at the Protestant Campus Ministry house at
8:00 p.m. last Friday night by
singer/songwriter Jane Kruse.
Kruse , a junior special education major at Bloomsburg
University , gave new life to old
favorites by Carole King and
Amy Grant. In addition she performed songs by Whitney
Houston and Miami Sound
Machine.
Along with her singing talent ,
Kruse is able to play the piano
' 'by ear. '' The piano has been an
interest of Kruse's since the age
of eight. She considers herself
lucky because , "Unlike other
kids , I didn 't need a gun held to
my head in order to go to my
lessons. I liked it. "
Much of Kruse 's inspiration
comes from friends , her fiancee
and her brother Rob Kruse.
Rob Kruse , who teaches a
song writing course at BU , is currently composing music for The
Caucasian Chalk Circle, a play
to be performed by Bloomsburg
Theatre Ensemble this spring.
Songs of love , such as
'Seashore Sunrise' helped the audience to share Jane's memories
of summers on the Jersey Coast
with sentimental lyrics and
soothing melodies.
As a special education major ,
Kruse likes to use her music to
help children learn the alphabet.
With her strong voice Kruse
reaches people of all ages with
her music.

Dickinson Invitational and much
team
improvement
was
displayed. We definitely need to
add the late coming people fromthe winter sports and on campus
athletes willing to be committed
to excellence. There are only a
few weeks left if we are going to
have a complete well rounded
team.
However, there is very good
quality effort and performance
that we can be proud of. Many
personal record s have alread y
been established and this alread y
young season has Brenda
Bissets'record setting times in the
3000 and 5000 providing a
vanguard effort for others to
follow.
We seem blessed with several
dedicated short sprinters led by
freshman Nelson Barr. Barr ran
a 6.29 55-meters (60 yards) on
Saturday to the win the indoors
fastest race. He won over the fine
sprinter and 1986 conference
champion , Kevin Mylett of
Shippensburg .
.In the qualifying heats we won
two, earned a second and a
fourth . Only Barr survived the
cuts that were based on time by
shaky place and time ju dgement,
but the effort was superb .
Wilbur Reid won the 55 meter
hurdles looking terrific doing it.
His goal to qualify outdoors for
nationals is presently on schedule.
Tom Armitage won the shot
improving to 43 feet , a fine frosh
toss, and Eugene Hill of Norristown won the 400 in 54.0 R.
T. Thomas, Derrick Hill , Earl
Wiggins and Randy Rulapaug h ,
all looked fine in their events .
The women's team, running
with a minimal skeletal crew ,
provided thrills and competitive
efforts in being the fourth best
team among nine teams'.
Led by the record setter Bisset
and sprinters Lynne Ritz , fourth
55 m and second 200 m, plus a
mile relay effort, the small group
without hurdlers , triple jumpers
and high jumpers yet, had to hustle for quality points to survive.
Distance runners Mark
Elsasser , Dan Young, Craig
Kock, Mike Marlowe and Ed An-
Tammy Trione doubled in the
800 and the 1500 running times
equivalent to recent years
season 's best. She should drop
many seconds from her times
Laurie Alexander looked com-
"I was torn ," Quinn said. "I
certainly wasn 't happy with Fordham , but the kids had all gone
to bat for meand I though I owed
them something ."
Quinn took the job Oct. 13 with
the priviso that he would not be
a candidate for the full time job .
He says that 's fine with him and
he now wants out of coaching.
When Quinn returned , his
players were relieved. "We were
all worried they would hire someone brand new and he would
come in a change everything ,"
said junior Greg Pedro . "We
thought we had the talent to have
a pretty good year if we had someone coaching us who
understood us and whom we
understood. "
They showed their talent early, winning three of four foing into the final of the Wheatshocker
Classic in Wichita , against
Wichita ' State. "Great atmosphere there," Pedro said .
"There were 14,000 people ail
going crazy ."
Fordham recieved a strong
dose of home cooking during that
game. Wichita State shot 59 free
throws , Fordham 21. Six Rams
fouled out and a seventh was
ejected for fouling flagrantly.
With a minute left , Fordham
trailed by seven.
The Rams sent the game into
overtime. Then , they trailed by
three with six seconds left and
Wichita was at the foul line. The
shot missed and Pedro nailed a
three-pointer at the buzzer. Double overtime.
By now , the Rams were convinced they were meant to win.
They took control in the second
overtime and led by eight with
one second left. Thrilled , several
players on the bench grabbed a
Gatorade bucket and went to pour
ice water on Quinn. Just then ,
Wichita State, canned a threepointer. The Rams drew a
technical foul for the Gatorade
act. Both shots were good and
suddenly , the lead was three and
Wichita State had the ball at midcourt. The ball came inbounds , a
three-point shot went up and...
"It hit nothing but net," said
Tom Parrota . "I was guarding
the guy and when it went in I
thought , 'Oh my God , we really
blew it. ' Then I saw their coach
(Eddie Fogler) going crazy and
I looked at the ref and realized he
was saying it came after the
buzzer. "
They were 4-1. It looked as if
a fairy tale were unfolding.
When the Rams awakened ,
they were back in the Bronx and
Wichita became a memory. A
loss at Hartford was followed by
a one-point loss to Seton Hall
when Pedro's lay-up was blocked at the buzzer . The close ones
were getting away in bunches, the
record was 7-5 on Jan. 10 when
they bused to Fairfield to play the
defending MA AC champion.
With 1:42 left , Fordham led ,
70-66. An important road victory
was in it's grasp. Suddenly, there
was a commotion in the stands.
the grandmother of Fairfield' s
Troy Bradford , sitting behind the
Stags bench , had collapsed.
While paramedics rushed about ,
most of the players sat on their
benches and waited. An ambulance arrived but the woman
died before reaching the hospital.
She had a heart attack. Back at the
gym , after a delay of 45 minutes ,
the presidents of the schools and
their athletic directors met at
center court. They suspended the
game.
The Rams lost their next three
games, two in overtime, including Manhatten at home.
Manhatten had been 2-26 in the
1985-86 season. Clearly, Fordham 's team was shaken. It
managed to beat Columbia , then
lost in overtime to La Salle. That
was followed by two losses in
three games, the second one at
home in overtime.
"We could easily have 16 or
17 wins by now if we had played
well in the close games," Pedro
said. "Since Wichita , we
haven 'tj It's been unbelievably
frustrating. "
For everyone. Quinn points to
the gray at his temples and says
it is recent. "The last month has
drained me completely, " he said .
"You would think , with all we
have gone through , somewhere
we would catch a break . This is
a good group of kids and it isn't
a bad team. We still deserve
something out of this season. "
It will not come easy . While
Quinn and his team struggles,
McLaughlin searches for a coach.
He wants a big name. Lefty
Dreisell has been mentioned , but
McLaughlin is afraid he might
upset alumni with such a controversial choice.
He would love ot hire Jim
Lynam , the former St. Joseph's
and American University coach
now with the Philadelphia 76ers,
but Lynam prefers the pros. He
could probably hire Pete Gillen ,
an old friend from Notre Dame
who coaches Xavier. But Gillen,
though solid , isn't a name.
McLaughlin also has talked
with Notre Dame, Dayton , De
Paul and Marquette about forming a Catholic Five, each team
playing home-and-home every
year. He believes that would put
Fordham back on the national
map in a hurry.
In his top left drawer ,
McLaughlin has a crumpled piece
of paper. There are 16 names on
it. Some of those so-called candidates, such as Dick Vitale, are
far-fetched. But one of those men
will be the next coach . And ,
Quinn thinks, that man will have
a chance to succeed.
"I'm not sure how good this
program can be," he said. "Tom
did a great job of getting us to
where we are.. .But there's talent
here for the next guy . There's a
6-10 freshman (Dan O'Sullivan)
who is going to be a player , I
think. I'd still like to see this
group somehow have a happy ending , though. They deserve it. "
The final 1:42 of the FordhamFairfield game was completed
Feb. 7 at Fordham in a Saturday
afternoon double header in Rose
Hill Gym. Fordham held on to
win th esuspended game, then
won the regularly scheduled
game. A sweep!The record was
12-11. Three days later, Fordham
Rollercoaster
from page 8
Phelps walked out on a long-term
contract to move to Notre Dame.
He went from hero to traitor
overnight. To this day , mention
of his name on campus is likely
to draw a glare.
With Phelps gone, the program
slipped and , by the time Fenders
came on the scene for the
1978-79 season, the Rams were
not even a shadow of what they
once had been. Fenders, who had
pulled a tattered program together
at Columbia, did the same at Fordham. The Rams made the National Invitational Tournament
five straight seasons, but couldn 't
quite make it back to the
NCAA's.
In the fall of 1985 ,
MacLaughlin returned. A 1969
Fordham graduate who had
grown up only a couple miles
from campus , he had gone with
Phelps to Notre Dame and then
became , the head coach at
Harvard .
But Fordham called him.
Would he be interested in returning to his alma mater as athletic
director?
He took the job in October
1985. Fenders , who had wanted
the job himself , was not thrilled.
The two did not have any major
fig hts that year , but they didn 't
go out for a beer together very
often , either. That season, for the
first time in six years, Fordham
didn 't make the NIT , finishing
13-17. McLaughlin wrote
Fenders during the summer, saying he saw no reason why Fordham should not win the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Confernce tilte
occasionally and "take the next
step."
Fenders had called his first five
years the greatest in Fordham
history. Yet McLaug hlin ' s
message was clear: do more.
"When I saw that letter ," Quinn
said, "I was amazed. Tommy
had one bad year and he was out
of favor. ''
McLaughlin says that isn't so,
but it led directly to Fenders'
decision to leave. In September ,
Rhode Island's head coaching job
opened when Brendan malone
moved to the New York Knicks.
Rhode Island offered a five-year
contract. Fenders , with three
years left on his contract , asked
Fordham to match it. "We feel ,"
McLaughlin said , "that three
years is ample security ."
Fenders didn 't. He left.
McLaughlin the fired Fenders'
two assistants, Quinn and Buddy
Mahar . Their contracts , he said
were contingent on Fenders being the coach, the coaches say
that is not true, that Fordham owcd them a paycheck until the end
of this season. Quinn turned in his
leased car and began wondering
what to do next. The players met
and voted to ask McLaughlin to
name Quinn coach.
After calls to Al McGuire and
an old friend , Georgia Tech
Cremins ,
Coach
Bobby
McLaughlin realized finding a
coach he truly wanted in October
was going ot be impossible. Two
days before practice was to begin,
he asked Quinn to take the job on
an interim basis.

fifth overtime loss since the

Dame. The record is now 13-14,
with regular season games remaining before the MAAC
tournament .
There is still time for Quinn ' s
happy ending. His players could
win the MAAC tournament and
get an NCAA tournament bid .
The way this season has gone ,

Back in Huskies down Wolves 74-72
training
by Lincoln Weiss
Staff Writer
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
And away we go...
Spring training just got
underway down in Florida
for the Philadelphia Phillies
and it is interesting to note
some of the faces that are
there and some that are not.
The most surprising addition to the camp was that of
Steve Carlton. It seems that
the four-time Cy Young
Award winner is getting
another chance to make the
team.
The 42 year-old veteran
will , however, report to the
camp as an unsigned , nonroster player.
It seems that Phillies' pitching coach Claude Osteen
had watched Carlton and it
appeared that he was throwing much better than a year
ago so they will allow him
to work-out with the team ,
but are making no promises.
The most disappointing
face missing from the
Phillies' camp this spring is
that of Lance Parrish.
Although the two parties,
the Phillies and Parrish , had
reached an agreement on
terms of a one year contract , they were unable to
come to terms in another
area.
That area was the
possibility of a law-suit by
'.. what baseball p layer
playing in New York
doesn 't have f o u r
cars? '
Parrish against tlie Phillies
and major league baseball
with the charge of
collusion.
It seems that Tom Reich ,
Parrish 's agent made threats
to that affect over the past
few weeks and the Phillies
wanted a clause in the contract protecting them from
legal action.
But since the entire 1980
graduating class of Harvard
Law School could not come
up with a satisfactory middle ground on the issue, the
two parties decided that a
mutual parting of ways was
in order.
Another face not at
workouts was that of Kevin
Gross. His salary arbitration has yet to be decided .
The hot and cold performer has asked the
Phillies for $535,000 but
they are only offering
$420,000.
Take the money , Kevin!
So what if you can 't take
Shane Rawley out to dinner
one night without that extra
$100,000. Just make sure
that the two of you pitch
well and stay healthy this
year.
Before I go, will someone
please explain to me why
the New York Yankees '
Ron Kittle is haggling so
much over his salary?
The guy has been offered
a salary only $50,000 less
than what he asked for. So
what the heck is he doing?
My guess is he needs that
extra 50 thousand for a, uh ,
fourth car, yeah that 's it. I
mean, what baseball player
p laying in New York
doesn 't have four cars?
Oh, my mistake, Sean
Sakata only has two along
with Claudell Washington 's
one. But I give them a year,
before they start griping for
more money .
Where is Sid Fynch when
you need him?
Imagine all the things that the
Huskies had to overcome on
Saturday to defeat the Cheyney
Wolves in a 74-72 come from
behind victory that eliminated
Cheyney from playoff contention .
They had already clinched second place and a home playoff
spot for the first round , they were
playing in Cheyney , a place that
the Huskies haven 't won in years
and Cheyney was in a must win
situation. How can you get up for
a game like that?
Still , the game was well played
early on as both teams played
competitively, with Bloomsburg
holding a one point lead 12-11.
Then , the Huskies became tentative on offense and Cheyney 's
Clarence Green became Mr.
Everything. Green rebounded
and scored six points in a
Cheyney 12-2 run to take a nine
point lead at 23-14.
Green and Charles Jones continued to dominate inside and the
Huskies shot horrendously as
Cheyney took a 39-27 lead into
the locker room at half.
As poorl y as Bloomsbug
played the first half , they played
as well in the second half. Johnny
Williams was assigned to Green
and did a masterful job defensively to hold Green to only two second half points , both from the
foul line.
The Huskies came out hard in
the second half and began to
dominate early. With strong play
inside by Alex Nelcha and Dave
Carpenter, the Huskies started the
second half with a 15-2 tear , and
actually took the lead at 42-4 1 only 4:15 into the second half.
Give Cheyney credit as they
hung in tough and took a small
lead of three points with 8:24 to
go in the game.
But the absence of offensive
th reat of Green and the Wolves '
center George Lee on the sideline
with and injury proved to be too
much for Cheyney to overcome .
Dave Carpenter and Steve
Melchior dominated the inside
and Bloomsburg went on a 12-2
run to take a 67-59 lead with 4:18
left in the game.
Cheyney kept battling back as
Bloomsburg could not put the
game away at the free th row line.
A 10-4 run by Cheyney at the
end of the game fell short as the
final
score read
74-72 ,
Bloomsburg.
The Huskies will now play the
Kutztown Golden Bears tonight at
Nelson Fieldhouse. This is a
Pennsylvania Confernce playoff
garqe with the winner earning the
ri ght to travel to Millersville on
Wednesday night to determine the
PSAC
Eastern
Division
Champion.
To preview tonights game, the
two teams split the regular season
games , each winning on their
home floor. The Huskies won
69-66 on December 3, when Bill
Connelly and Joe Stepanski led ail
scorers with 20 points.
The Golden Bears squeaked by
the Huskies , 75-74 on February
4, as Maurice Williams nailed a
foul shot with no time on the
clock to ice the game.
So toni ght ' s game should
definitel y be a thriller as the two
face off for the rubber game of
this year 's meetings.

out of a job. It was messy ."
What Quinn and the players did
not know was that Fenders '
resignation was merely the opening act in a season-long
melodrama. It is a story that involves resignations and firings ,
rumors, innuendo and confusion.
It involves one game in which
Fordham almost blew an eightpoint lead in the final second and
another suspended because of a
death in the stands. There is one
miracle victory that defies belief
and five stra ight overtime losses
that mystify everyone.
"It 's been wild , right from the
day Fenders left ," said Andre
McClendon , a freshman guard .
"One day it's one thing; the n ext
day it 's something else. Just when
you think nothing crazier can
happen , something does. You get
to the point where you don 't even
think about things anymore
because , if you do , you 'll be
crazy , too. "
Fordham is a Catholic school
in the Bronx with about 8,400
undergraduates. It has a long
basketball tradition , although its
most famous alumni was football
player Vince Lombardi. Its campus , hard by the Pelham and
Mosholu parkway s, is a pretty
pocket of land in an otherwise
dreary area.
Fordham 's basketball teams
Fordham cagers weather a rollercoaster season
by John Feinstein
The Washington Post
On October 2 , 1986, Tom
Fenders , the basketball coach at
Fordham University , called his
players together. He had stunning news. After seven years at
Fordham , he was resigning to
become the coach at Rhode
Island .
His name had been linked with
other coaching jobs in the past.
It was common knowledge that he
was job-huntin g. He had openly
sought the University of Miami
job in 1984 and his name had
been mentioned in connection
with other schools.
The players had heard this and
they knew that Fenders and Fordham Athletic Director Frank
MacLaughlin were not on the best
of terms. Yet when Fenders told
them he was leaving, they were
shocked. The start of practice was
only 13 days away . Even Bob
Quinn. Fenders top assistant and
close friend , was stunned .
"I knew Tom was going to
Rhode Island to talk about the
job ," he said. But I never expected him to come back and say ,
'I'm going. ' It caught everyone
by surprise...The young kids
were confused. The seniors felt
like the rug had been pulled out
from under them. I figured I was
have been to the NCAA tournament th ree times, in 1953-54 and
1971. That last time , the coach
was "Digger" Phelps, a 29-yearold upstart who took a group of
talented players recruited by his
predecessor , Ed Conlin , and got
them to believe in themselves.
The Rams went 26-3, upset Notre
Dame in Madison Square Garden
and took then top-ranked Marquette into overtime before losing. That team sold out the
Garden twice and breathed life into New York City basketball .
Phelps became a folk hero.
Fordham finnally lost in the
NCAA round of 16 to Villanova.

Hartford Whalers general
manager Emile Francis is one of
those who believe you can never
have too many defensemen.
Thursday reinforced Francis '
way of thinking.
First, Dana Murzyn was found
riding a stationary bicycle in the
training room. He will be out five
to 10 days because of a sprained
shoulder suffered Wednesday
night in New Jersey.
Later , Murzyn 's place on the
bike was taken by Joel Quenneville. He skated for the first
time in two months Thursday, but
a dislocated Shoulder will not
allow him to return to the lineup
for another month or so.
With a division title within
reach , this is no time for the
Whalers to be minus two starting
defensemen. But it 's no time to
panic either.
Why? Well , one reason is Randy Ladoucer.
Obtained January 12 from
Detroit for right winger Dave
Barr , Ladoucer stepped into the
lineup to take up the slack caused by Quenneville 's absence and
give the Whalers some added
depth on defense.
Ladoucer had the dubious
distinction of finishing minus-54
last season , the worst plus-minus
ratio in the league.
"I got in the record book , "
Ladoucer said , "but I'm not real
proud of it. "
The Detroit Red Wings gave up
a whopping 415 goals last year ,
easily the most in the league.
Defense in the Motor City went
the way of the F.dsel. And
Ladoucer piled up negative
numbers because he got so much
ice time.
His play with the Whalers has
shown that he is not as bad as his
rating last year indicates.
Ladoucer has been a dependable ,
stay-at-home defender cut from
almost the same mold as
Quenneville.
In 15 games with the Whalers ,
Ladoucer is a plus-3.
' 'I'm not going to get 20 goals,
like Dave Babych ," Ladoucer
said. "I' m going to move the
puck up the ice and take care of
our zone. It's relatively easy to
do with the way this team plays. ''
"The way I'm playing has a lot
to do with the team I'm playing
for . This is a defense-oriented
team that can move the puck well.
We have the fourth or fifth best
goals against average in the
league (3.27 , fourth) ."
Ladoucer had a goal in his first
Whalers game (every player the
