BU enjoys warm weekend
by Karen Reiss
News Editor

Bloomsburg University experienced spring break a bit early this past weekend thanks to a
sudden rise in temperatures .
As Saturday 's temperatures
climbed info the hi gh 60s,
students came out in droves to enjoy the spring-like weather.
Some students found pleasure
in long bike rides while others
played competitive games of tennis , basketball , frisbee , and football. However, some just sat back
and enjoyed the rays while watching others play .

Sunday found even more
students out in shorts and , yes,
even
bathing
suits ,
as
temperatures broke into the 70s.
The popular sunning spots ,
such as "Lycoming Beach , " the
basketball courts , and the grass
behind the library , were crowed
yesterday as those who are
Florida bound tried to get a head
start on their tans, and those who
aren 't traveling during spring
break made an attempt to stay in
the competition.
It seemed as if everyone was
outside doing something. Most of
the buildings on campus were
nearly abandoned .- Only those

who absolutely had to study were
in the library and the Games
Room in the Union lacked its
usual chaos.
The sudden spurt of summer
was a welcomed change for those
of us who suffered through
several months of cold , blistery
days. Hopefully, sunny, warm
days will be here to stay soon.
However , this weather will
probably not last as long as we
would like it to.
Today should be fairly warm
and sunny, but as the week progresses, the extreme warmth will
subside and leave BU cold and
windy once again.

BU to get technology grant
Bloomsburg University will
receive $315,767 in technology
grant money which is now being
distributed to the 14 universities
ofthe Pennsylvania State System
of Higher Education as a result
of the approved General
Assembly Act of 1986.
The grant money, which

Two Bloomsburg University
students who were suspended
after being arrested for vandalizing Old Rosemont Cemetery on
Oct. 31 have filed for acceptance
into the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition program March
6 in Columbia County Court.
According to the district attorney 's office , Attorney
Cleveland C. Hummel filed for
the program on behalf of his
clients Matthew Mclntyre, 19, of
Gettysburg and Robert Partlow ,
18, of Exton.
The motion must meet the approval of District Attorney
Elwood Harding before going
before Judge Jay Myers for
acceptance.
If Mclntyre and Partlow are accepted into the program ^ charges
of criminal mischief , underage
drinking and public drunkenness
will be dropped.

suspended from BU following arrests stemming from the Oct. 31,
1986 vandalization of Old Rosemont Cemetery .

amounts to more than $4 million ,
are part of a $20.3 million
allocation.
The technology grant program
was created to help Pennsylvania
colleges and universities acquire
and upgrade technology used in
the classroom.
The monies are allocated to
eligible institutions on a full-time
equivalent enrollment basis.
"We are truly grateful to the
General Assembly for the support
given to this legislation ," Eugene
Dixon , Jr., chairman of the
System Board of Governors said .
"These grants are further
evidence of the Legislature 's
commitment to higher education
in the Commonwealth. "
System Chancellor James H.
McCormick said , "These funds
enable our universities to purchase much needed new
technologies to continue improv-

ing the System 's capacity to offer a high quality education. "
According to Dr. Emily Hannah, System Vice Chancellor for
Academic Affairs , the grant
money is used by institutions to
purchase, lease, or otherwise
upgrade and acquire education
related materials, capital items ,
hardware, or software necessary
for the educational mission of the
institutional.
"We are very appreciative of
the General Assembly 's efforts to
assist Pennsylvania 's colleges and
universities," Dr. Hannah said .
"We know the legislators
recognize the continuing need for
those institutions to upgrade and
replace antiquated and obsolete
equipment."
In the State System , a
preliminary inventory has shown
a $26 million need for new or better equipment and material.

Phonathon '87 requests donationsfrom alumni

Staff Writer

Bloomsburg University Alumni
will be receiving calls requesting
donations toward a $60,000 goal.
The goal was set by the BU Foundation to raise money for several
university activities and services .
The BU Foundation , which is
the offical gift soliciting and
receiving organization for
Bloomsburg University , and the
Development Office are presently
conducting Phonathon '87' in the
lobby of Carver Hall.
The Phonathon started on
March 2 and will continue on
Monday thru Thursday evenings
until April 2, excluding the week

The purpose of the Phonathon
is to raise funds of $60,000 by
calling the 27,000 plus Alumni of
BU. These funds will be used for
student scholarships , faculty
research and development ,
cultural programming, equipment
purchases , alumni services, and
overall facility improvement.
Sue Mitchell is the assistant
director of development and
coordinator of the Phonathon .
Mitchell has more than 250
students , alumni , and staff
members working on the

Phonathon.
Participants include students
from various classes, Husky Ambassadors , The Sophisticated
Gents , SIO, members of the
Alumni Board , alumni , staff , and
friends of the university .
"Our goal is to make 8,000
phone calls," Mitchell said ,"but ,
we will probably only reach
6,000 because of alumni not being home. "
Mitchell added that after four
nights , they have raised over
$20,000 and hope to raise $4,500
each evening.
Mitchell noted that alumni can
designate all of their contribution
to a specific area, such as student

scholarships.
The volunteers attend a calling
session before starting each evening. The sessions are set up to inform callers how to make their
call successfu l in raising money .
"So far the callers have been
excellent. " Mitchell commented. "Some classes , such as
Salemanship, are offering extra
credit to the students while other
students are doing it for experience. "
Downtown restaurants are
donating food at the end of each
evening for the volunteers Last
week, Napoli Pizza , Allen 's
Subs , Berrigan's, and Laubach's
donated food.
Although the Phonathon is

Strategic Issues Group releases BU outlook

Editor 's Note: In the next f e w issues o/The Voice, the report given

BU p residentresponds
Editor 's Note: 'Bloomsburg
University President Harry A.
Ausprich wrote the following letter to all university personnel.
The letter is in regards to the
Bloomsburg University Mission
Statement.
The Strateg ic Issues Group of
the Planning Commission has for
the past year been involved in
gathering and analyzing data
leading to the development of a
strategic planning process and a
new mission statement for the
university. On February 5, the
Strategic Issues Groups presented
its draft report to a special
meeting of the Planning Commission. One week later , during its

regular meeting, the Planning
Commisions participated in a
preliminary discussion of the
report with the members of the
strategic Issues Group.
I want you and all members of
the university community have
had an opportunity to review
these materials and share your
reactions with the Strategic Issues
Group - and the Planning
Commission.
Although all of us have many
demands on our time, I know you
will want to take advantage of this
oppurtunity to participate in shaping the fiiture of Bloomsburg
University.

StrategicIssues Group explains

Editor 's Note: This letter is
from the Strategic Issues Group.
This letter is in regards to the
University Missions Statement
and its goals , subgoals, and suggested imp lementation strategies.
In your consideration of this
working draft of the university
missions, goals, subgoals, and
suggested
implementation
strategies, we believe it is important for you to recognize that
these proposals are not the product of a six-memeber committee, but the results of analyses of
responses from hundreds of
members of the university community, these analyses were performed first by the task forcesenviromental analysis, institutional strengths and weaknesses ,
and future directions of the
university- and then the Strategic

Issues Group. This work was carried out with care not to distort
the intent of the original
respondents.
We particularly ask you to
focus on issues, not individual
words, recognizing that in a community of several hundred persons , it is nearly impossible to
reach unanimity of though , let
alone wording. Open discussion
and sharing of ideas is central to
this process, and every effort is
being made to assure that all constituencies are involved.
In many cases, suggested implementation strategies are
repeated , since they may be appropriate for more than one goal
or subgoal. Such repitions are
written out fully to facilitate ease
of reading the document .
A final note. It is important to

recognize that the draft mission
statement was not randomly constructed. It is based on and contains elements that address what
are considered to be the key
elements of a mission statement.
For example, the National Center
for Higher Education Management Statistics, the American
Management Association , and
Dr. Robert Shirley, the planning
consultant the university retained for assistance in this effort , all
agree that the mission statement
should contain the following: role
in the systems, areas of emphasis,
educational philosophy, and style
of governance and management.
We look forward to hearing
your comments on these issues so
important to the future of the
university .

reaching for alumni contributions , anyone who wishes to
donate can do so by call Sue Mitchell at 389-4128.
The Alumni Annual Fund has
experienced tremendous growth
over the past several years and the
1986 campaign reached its all
time high in the number of dollars
raise by alumni donors .
The BU Foundation feels that
the success of the program is due,
in large part , to the genuine feeling of admiration and pride that
alumni share about Bloomsburg .
"The Phonathon is a valuable
tool for updating our records on
alumni so that we can share pertinent information with them. "
Mitchell said.

American people.
This is the more important and
scary issue at hand , not communism in the Western
Hemisphere. After all , since
Castro took over in Cuba they
have had communist ties.
The scary issue here is the circumvention of the very
democratic system of checks and
balances which our forefathers
fought against England to
establish. The system that gives
us , the people, a say in what the
government should and should
not do. I find this Iran contra affair one of the most disturbing
things that has happened to the
United States.
When it comes right down to
it , we, the United States , have
perpetuated a civil war , instead
of seeking to end it. Another
critical issue overlooked is the
thousands of Nicaraguans , men ,
women , and children who have
been killed , wounded , or maim-

organizational ability , and selfconfidence are just some of the
benefits gained from participation
in meaningful student activities.
In light ofthe more than 100 student organizations on campus ,
there are plenty of opportunities
for our students to get involved
and to make the most of their college experience.
While it may sound trite "to
get involved ," it is important to
do so for many good reasons. The
Office of Student Development in
the Kehr Union can help to get
students involved. Again , thanks for commenting
on a very important topic.

Voice Criticized

Editor:
Last evening, I had the occasion to be sitting in the lobby of
the Hotel Magee along with other
guests, who from the conversation had traveled a long distance
to have a good dinner at the
Publick House. Their conversation turned to the front page of
The Voice, which frankl y I
thought must have been some
filthy smut paper someone left on
the table.
After looking more closely I
realized it was the student paper
of Bloomsburg University . I
could not help but agree with the
other guests, they would never
permit their son or daughter to
enroll at BU. Frankly, if the
vulgar pictures printed on the
front page ofthe paper are a sample of the education students are
receiving at BU , then I will be
sure never to contribute $.05
toward tuition for any of my
grandchildren enrolling at BU
and will encourage anyone else I
know to do likewise.
I can remember many beautiful
buildings and the beautiful cam-

pus at Bloomsburg University
which certainly, in my opinion ,
would have been more appropriate for the front page of a
university paper that mi ght be
looking for prospective students .
My thoughts go to , where are
the faculty advisors , the administrative heads??? or has
Bloomsburg University gone so
liberal there is no longer any control or discipline.
The town of Bloomsburg is
certainly a fine community . I
should think BU and the town
would complement each other
and would also be worthy ' of
some space on the front page ,
which would put it in the class of
good journalism.
I have always held BU in high
regard as an excellent private institution of higher learning. I'm
sorry to see it fall to an ordinary
school , giving in to the whims of
today 's liberal society .
I hope this criticism will be
taken in the spirit it is given!
Sincerely,
Kenneth F. Schoeneman

ed. The thousands of people who
have felt the scourges of war , the
death ofa son, rape ofa daughter ,
or burning of a village. All this
to stem the tide of communism?
The person solely responsible
for these actions sits in the Oval
Office on Pennsylvania Avenue
with an acute case of amnesia.'
Those who are guilty of circumventing our democratic
system and deceiving the
American public must pay the
price now that their dealings are
exposed.
That includes the impeachment
of the President of the United
States , even if he had no
knowled ge of these dealings ,
although that seems unlikely.
After all aren 't coaches responsible for the actions of their
players . If the players don 't perform and win , the coach is fired.
If Reagan didn 't know of these
dealings then he is negli gent for
not knowing the goings-on of
foreign affairs , and we are in
more trouble than we think. How
many other things is the president
not aware of?
I disagree with Mr. Davis '
editorial that in some form this is
a victory for the United States. I
see this as a stumbling point in
American politics.

Do the
job right

Dear Editor:
This is an issue that concerns
the Program Board and the Community Activities Fee that we, the
students , pay for entertainment.
Last week , I wanted to see the
movie "The Color Purp le " in
Haas , and of course , they
couldn 't get the sound to work.
The movie was suppose to start
at 7 p.m.. By 7:45, the movie still
wasn 't in working condition , so
a group of my friends and I got
up and walked out. Many others
did so before we did.
Again I went to see "Ruthless
People. " At this time , the people running the movie couldn 't
project the film on the screen. It
was half on the screen and half
on the ceiling . Now , tell me who
would want to see a movie that
way. As the movie progressed tlie
projector apparentl y broke.
OKAY. They did say it would be
five minutes before it was fixed.
The movie was then shown in its
entirety with exception that when
switching projectors , it took
awhile and an intrest was lost.
We, the students , pay $45 for
entertainment and this is what we
get , projecto r problems and then
people who don 't know how to
fix them or whatever the problem
may be. Something should be
done about this problem , like getting people who know what they
are doing to run the films.
This is a case that occurred
twice in a week. Get down to
business and get the job done
right.

Look at handling of issue

Editor;
I do not share in News Editor
Scott Davis ' enthusiasm over the
Iran contra affair.
I think the key issue that Mr.
Davis is missing is the element of
fraud involved by the Reagan administration. The bottom line ,
after all the double-talk about
arms for hostages , is the United
States is or was funding the Contras of Nicaragua. This issue,
funding the Contras, was brought
before Congress and Congress
refused to vote to appropriate
money to aid these so-called
"freedom fighters ." Congress is
our voice in government.
Therefore, we the people said NO
to the Contra aid bill . The Reagan
Administration , it seems , had
planned to aid the Contras long
before the bill was proposed .
Even after the bill was rejected ,
money kept pouring into the
secret Contra fund . These actions
to me are a slap in the face of the

Chicago politics complicated
by George Will
Editorial Columnist

Chicago-Donald Haider , 45,
Republican candidate for mayor ,
is a burl y former football player
(Stanford), a professor (school of
business , Northwestern) and a
fine jud ge ofa suitable venue for
discussing the sweaty , bruising
politics of this city . It is lunch at
Mike Ditka 's restaurant—no kiwi
fruit on the menu—where the
sports motif is maintained by
television screens pump ing taped
sporting events into air thick with
thunderous music by Dire Straits.
Straits are always dire for
Republicans in a city that has not
had a Republican mayor since the
year Lou Gehri g got 184 RBIs
(1931). But Haider is having fun
and has a glimmer of hope , which
is more than the usual Republican
allotment.
Mayor Harold Washington and
former Mayor Jane Byrne have
just committed many month s of
assault on ' Chicagoans with a
primary contest about whose four
years were worse. Washington
won the nomination 53 percent to
47 percent. The electorate is 44
percent black and about 99 percent of black voters heeded the
black jud ge (herewith a sample of
judiciousness , Chicago-sty le)
who said that "any man south of
Madison St. " who didn 't vote for
Washington "ought to be hung. "
Now , all that stands between
Washingto n and victory in the
genera l election April 17 are
Haider and two other white candidates: Edward "Fast Eddie "
Vrdol yak , Democratic alderman
and Cook County Democratic
chairman; and Thomas Hynes , a
Democrat and Cook County
assessor. If all three stay in the
race , and Haider certainly will ,
Washington will win in a walk.

The anti-Washington strategy
has been to get him one-on-one
with a white candidate. Byrne
jumped in the Democratic
primary race early with both feet
and a fistfu l of money. When it
became clear she was in to stay ,
other Democrats looked for ways
to duck the primary and still get
a crack at Washington.
As his instrument for fracturing the Democratic vote ,
Vrdolyak fastened on the empty
husk of the Solidarity Party ,
which Adlai Stevenson III invented last year when some
zanies from Lyndon LaRouche 's
organization won places on the
Democratic ticket. As Hynes
says, with only some hyperbole ,
Vrdol yak has 100 percent name
recognition and a five percent approval rating. Those are unpromising numbers , so why is he
doing this? Animal spirits.
Hynes is a well-regarded
former state legislator who probably is burning his bridges with
the Democratic Party running
against Washington on his
spanking-new Chicago First party. Why is he doing this? Ethnic
atavism , perhaps.
Chicago politics is tribal.
Hynes is Irish: He even got
himself born there, which is good
career move for a Chicago politician. Until the recent black ascendancy , the Irish dominated
Chicago politics. Hynes ' candidacy is a last hurrah ofthe sort
favored by Celtic romanticism.
Haider has two distinctins.
First , he is the only one of the
four candidates who is not a
Democrat . Asked how long he
has been a Republican , he
laughingly replies , "Including
this week? " He was Mayor
Byrne 's budget director , has been
an adviser to Mayor Washington ,
was a White House fellow under

Gerald Ford and has been a
Republican for...months.
Second , Haider seems interested in governance as well as
politics—althoug h he knows the
political necessity of theater. His
favorite prop is a parking meter.
Most of Chicago 's meters do
not work. That , says Haider , is
a result of political mismanagement in procurement. It costs the
city $15 million a year in lost
revenues , on top of the millions
lost in the mismanagement of collections fro m meters that work .
How , asks Haider , can a mayor
who can not make parking meters
work cope with a 50 percent
dropout rate in a school system
that is only 13 percent white?
Haider must be Mike Dikta ' s
only customer who quotes Prof.
James Q. Wilson of Harvard .
Doing so, Haider explains that
the task of mayor is to deliver services and resolve conflicts.
Chicago conflicts come and go.
Of the late Mayor Daley , who
Washington in 1983 remembered
as a "racist ," Washington now
says: "He was a spiritual father
to me. " Washington has his own
way with words , calling critics
"antediluvian dodo heads" and
say ing that his new majority on
the city council gives him ' 'lebensraum. "
Chicago was once the hog butcher of the world , broad
shouldered and all that. Today
Chicago is the crap shoot of the
world: 80 percent of all futures
are traded here. So it seems right
that its politics is , as this is written , a game of chicken , with
Washington 's opponents warily
watching to see who , if anyone,
will drop out.
Perhaps all three will stay in.
Election Day is April 7, opening
day at Wrigley Field. There could
be a lot of losing in Chicago that
day .

Another side to the story

Editor:
This is in response to Scott
Davis' letter about the incident at
the Toddle House. My friends
and I happened to be there at the
same time. When I read his letter I was thoroughly disgusted at
how he changed the story in his
favor.

First of all the lady was not
"cleaning the restaurant , " she
was merely cleaning the grill with
oil , not detergent or anything
harmful to food , the same oil used for cooking.
Scott also did not just leave a
note , he rudely asked why the
janitor was serving the food. Now
if he had stopped to think about
it , he would have realized that in
a restaurant open 24 hours a day
it becomes necessary to clean it
every few hours , meaning
whoever is working has the
responsibility .
Scott continued to insult the
woman who asked for his name
so she could refer it to the
manager. She commented that he
was a university student and told
him that "we don 't need you
here." "You" meaning Scott and
his roomate, not the rest of the
university students.

The other waitress on duty got
in on the argument and it was her
husband who jumped up and told
Scott not to insult his wife. I do
feel that it was not any of the
other waitresses ' husband' s
business to interfere with the agument . Not at any point though,
was Mr. Davis stopped from paying his bill.

I hope his letter has not harmed the Toddle House 's business.
It would be such a shame considering Scott changed the entire
story around . They don 't need to
get a taste of business without BU
students , just without people like
Scott Davis.

Housing p roblemsf orce students
to search f or off -camp us p lace

by Vic Scala
Staff Writer

Housing at Bloomsburg
University is and probabl y afways
will be, a major problem. Since
dormatory space is limited ,
students at BU are guaranteed oncampus housing onl y the first two
years, after which , students usually must move off-canjpus.
One problem students must
keep in mind when they decide to
explore the real-estate business of
the area is the nicest and closest
houses go first.
"I know of students who
started (looking for a place to
live) in September for the fall
semester of the following year,"
Donald Young, Residence Director of Montour Hall said. »
Once the student has decided to
begin the "house hunting, " he or

she should visit the Residence
Life Office in the basement of
Luzerne Hall. Here students will
find the five-year-old OffCampus Housing Directory
whose copies are available upon
request.
The directory contains
numerous houses availible with
respective landlords addresses
and phone numbers. ,
"Each house in the directo ry
has bee inspected and follows the
guidelines established by the
Bloomsburg director for Code
Enforcement ," Young assured.
At this point , the student should
start calling landlords and make
arrangements to visit the houses
he or she is interested in.
"The best time to go visit a
house is on the weekends ," suggested Karen Owens , a
sophomore from Hatboro , who

Honor students to meet
A meeting for students interested in the Arts, and Sciences
honors Program will be conducted in the President's Lounge

as faculty and staff invloved in the
program will be present to offer

information
and
answer
questions.
The Honors Program at BU is
intended for junior and senior
students who have demonstrated
exceptional academic skills during their freshman and
sophomore years .

The Community Government
Association offers a scholarship
recognizing outstanding student
leaders on campus.
The scholarship will be awarded to a student or students who
have a minimum grade point
average of 2.5 , a minimum of 32
credits .and has demonstrated

leadership in extracurricular
activities.
Students interested in applying

has found a house to share with
six other girls. "It was the only
time we could all get together and
make a common decision. "
When looking at the house ,
students should keep a few things
in mind. First, they should look
for things that need to be repaired
or replaced .
Also "try to talk to the people
who live in the house," Young
suggests. "Ask them about
utilities expense , landlord ,
neighbors , and possible problems. "
Students should always have an
idea of what their financial
possibilities are. The average cost
of living off-campus for a
semester is $500 plus utilities per
person.
"The highest I ever heard was
$700 and the cheapest was $450,
utilities included ," Young said.

added expense that can build up.
Once a house is found which all
involved agree upon , they will be
asked to si gn a lease and to pay
a security deposit , usually between $100 and $175.
"The best thing to do is to take
the lease to the Campus Lawyer ,
John Flick , before you sign it ,"
Young said.
"The best lease students can
get is a sing le lease in which each
student is onl y responsible for his
own payments," Flick said . With
this kind of lease, students avoid
the eventual problem of having to
pay for an extra person in case
they lose one of their roommates.

Bloomsburg University's version of Vanna White and Pat Sajak hosted
a simulated Wheel of Fortune in the Union Friday night. (Voice photo
by Gerry Moore)

Wheel of Fortune
presented at BU
by Anne Richardson
for the Voice

An unusual form o f t h e Wheel
of Fortune was presented Friday
ni ght by the Kehr Union Progra m
Board .
The Program Board made
every effort to bring authenticity
to the event. The actual theme
music and buzzer from the syndicated show wcre included.
Bloomsburg 's version of Vanna White may not have been a
blonde but Joan Schiavino played
the part to a tec. Wearing a
backless t u r q u o i s e
dress,
Schiavino turned thc letters with
ease, thoug h they were not lit up
as they are for the TV hostess. A
bye-bye a la Vanna White closed
Friday ' s activity.
The Program Board obtained
chimes that , supposedl y , were the
same notes played on thc show.
They tried everything to make thc
game realistic except the obvious,
practice.
Practice would have tied all of
the techni ques together into an

organized fashion to make the
gameshow more interesting .
Delays in the sounding of the
buzzer and chimes detracted form
the show as well as time wasted
on chang ing the letters for the
next round.
Bob Francis played the part of
Pat Sajak. His mistakes were explained by say ing, "We 're new
here ". Here , again , practice
would have improved the overall
program.
One audience member said. "
They 'll get it together about the
last round . However , many
peop le did not make it that far.
There was one force thet kept
the energy level up during the
show. The Al pha Sigma Tau
sisters and pledges cheered on
each contestant from Debbie
Szupper , who won the first match
and came in third overall, to Amy
Berzon who won the Wheel of
Fortune. Berzon took home a
Bloomsburg Universit y rug by
shirt, stationery and the grand
prize , a gift certificate to
Russell' s in Bloomsburg .

Does the thought of running
over small animals with a Mack
truck pique your interest? Did
you ever want to steal cookies
from a defenseless Girl Scout?
Have you ever longed to walk into church wearing a jacket inscribed with Judas Priest "? If
you 've answered yes to any of
these questions, you are probabl y
the type of creature who would
enjoy the movie "Ruthless People " which was shown by thc
Program Board last week.
Bad manners are the name ol
the game. Crude comments ,
knavery, and lechery are just a
few of the elements in the film
which lend to its sadistic hilarity .
The movie 's rough and tumble
atmosphere is enhanced throug h
the acting abilities of Danny
DeVito , one of television 's wellloathed characters in "Taxi" and
the comedic talents of the divine
Bette Midler.
Together , they portray Sam
and Barbara Stone , the unloving
couple upon whom the various
plots of the film pivot.
In the first of four interrelated
p lots, Sam Stone , the "spandex

Sam, sends the tape to the police
comissioner as evidence implicating him as a murderer. The
commisioner mistakenly believes
that he is being blackmailed and
arress Sam at his mistress '
request.
To prove his innocence , Sam
musl pay the kidnapper 's ransom,
which has repeatedl y been reduced each time Sam refused to pay
it. Howev er , due to circumstances he could not foresee ,
Barbara and the kidnappers
become friends and vow to ruin
him together.

ly left destitute in the end, a truly ruthless ending .
Critics of this 1986 summertime flick have claimed that
screenwriter Dale Launer and
directors Jim Abrahams , David
and Jerry
Zucker were
elaborating on one of O. Henry s
short stories, "The Ransom of
Red Chief".

The story involves an incorrigible little boy who is kidnapped by
unsuspecting abductors . These
kidnappers are all too eager to
return the boy to his parents
because of the grief he caused
them for the duration the time
they spent together.
The film is a farce of the consumer society in which
Americans live. Everything from
the stylishly uncomfortable chairs
in the Stone living room to the
prostitute bought by the commissioner is effective in forcing the
audience to evaluate the ruthless
values of a society where money
is all-important.

The fourth and final plot , involving the fortunate death of a
schizop hrenic , psychopathic
"bedroom killer , " clinches the
other plots and is the springboard
for the brilliant finale.
After obtaining $2 million from
Sam , leaving him penniless , the
husband of the kidnapp ing couple drives off an ocean pier ,
presumabl y, to a watery grave.
In an intri guing twist , the body
scuba divers fish out ofthe water
is identified as . the long-sought
"bedroom killer ," whom Barbara claims was her kidnapper.
As Barbara and her kidnappers
look forward to a lucrative career
in fashion design financed by the
ransom money, Sam is deserving-

However , taken at face value
and on a li ghter note , "Ruthless
People " appeals to the deepseated desire everyone has felt at
one time or another: to do
something blatantly naughty and
get away with it.

will be on any given Thursday
night, because the penalty of
avoiding my chores or failing to
live up to the Good Housekeeping standards that are closely
scrutinized results in a fate worse
than, well , having to clean.
Since I have classes on Monday and Wednesday nights , my
roommates take care of the dishes
while I run off to my night
classes.
But, this means that I must take
care of the dishes on Tuesday and
Thursday nights .
What 's wrong with that, you
ask?
Well , that means that from 5
o 'clock on, I am a slave; a slave
to the dirt and grime of
outrageous fortune.
Being a male, and having been
brought up in an all female
household , I had long been
denied the opportunity to delve
into the "Wonderful World of
Cleaning ".
But with college , and my two
industrious roommates, I figured
that this trend would continue.
No way , Bozo.
I have now been carefully
trained in the arts of toilet cleaning, shower scrubbing, and sink
scouring.
But my worst fear and seemingly most frequent chore is to

WAX THE FLOOR.
I have a short moment of
silence before attempting this
assignment, as my mental and
physical attitude when faced with
this task are replete (H's word)
with anguish.
I try to accept this most
feminine of tasks with good
grace, but somehow my ego isn 't
in it.
So I have become domesticated
to some extent, but I still encounter an occassional difficulty
here and there.
Once in a while, I forget to put
the dishes away when they 're in
the drainer, or I'll put pans, tupperware , or cutting boards back
into the wrong storage areas.
My penalty for these
infractions?
They wind up on the middle of
my bed, where I have a second
chance to put them in their proper place.

If my life as a college student
hasn 't taug ht me anything
academically, I can only blame
my study habits or Jack of
interest.
But if I haven 't learned
anything about cleaning, put that
down as a result of my male ego,
as well as a kind of forced
insanity . .

Whoopi Goldberg stars as Bernie Rhodenbarr, a repentant thief
suspected of a murder she didn 't commit in Warner Bros, action
comedy-mystery "Burgular. "

Goldberg steals
show in 'Burgular '

by Imtiaz Ali Taj
Staff Writer

Whoopi Goldberg plays the
part of Bernie Rhodenbarr , the
central character in Warner
Bros. ' new movie Burglar.
She's smart. She's tough . She's
cool. But most importent she's
funny .
Bernie likes to think of herself
as an adventurer. Indeed , she
lives a double life: a San Francisco Haight Street bookseller by
day , and a crafty burglar by
night.
You could say Bernie is like
Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief,
except she ain 't no gentleman .
But she does have a code of ethics
which is "It's not what you steal ,
but who you steal from. "
Bernie's San Francisco has a
sense of mystery , comedy and
adventure , and it fits into the
various moods of her life.
Her bookstore is two blocks
down from the famous corner of
Haight and Ashbury streets ,
where the sixties hippies congregated , sharing both their love
and their drug . Haight street today maintains an open , let-it-be
atmosphere , and possesses head
shops, cookie parlors and trendy
boutiques .
Bernie's choice of residence is
close to the top of Potrero Hill.
Just outside the city center , it offers spectacular open vistas of the
downtown skyline. It's home for
an ethnic and financial mix of
singles and families. It 's an attractive and comfortable place for
her to live , —and to hide.
Her frantic friend Carl Heffler
(Bob Goldthwait) , who runs a
poodle grooming service next to
her bookstore , lives in the very
busy North Beach section , which
shakes 24 hours a day . Enroute
to grooming dogs, Carl moves
throug h Chinese and Italian sections , and in and out of a Yuppie
quarter and honky-tonk strips, it
is , as he is, very open and alive.
Bernie has been try ing really
hard to give up her night job , but
she admits , "it ain 't that easy ."
She makes a good living and sets
her own hours. And lets just face
it, selling books doesn 't keep you
in designer Reeboks. But one
more time in the slammer is more
then she can handle.
Five years ago , Bernie got
careless and made the mistake of
discarding a pair of rubber gloves
after finishing a burglary job. The
mistake was not knowing that her
fingerprints remained in the inside the rubber gloves.
It was also Bernie 's bad luck
that a crooked cop, Ray
Kirschman (G.W. Bailey), was
monitoring her activities. He
knows about the gloves.

Ray retired early and has blown
away his pension money . Now he
is putting the squeeze on Bernie
to pull one more major heist to
collect the payoff. Otherwise ,
those gloves will simply turn up
with ten perfect prints on them.
Bernie pulls the heist but complications prevent her from getting the goods and she can 't pay
off Ray .
A usually reliable fence tries to
hel p by putting her in touch with
Dr. Cynthia Sheldrake (Lesley
Ann Warren), a dentist. She
wants
her
ex-husband
Christopher (Steve Snellen) to
return her ex-jewelry bought with
cash skimmed from her dental
business. So the onl y way to get
it back is to hav e his apartment
burgled.
The job really gets tricky, but
Bernie hasn 't got a choice. In the
middle of the heist , Christopher
unexpectedly returns and Barnie ,
hiding in the bedroom closet, suddenly, views a tor of action in the
bedroom.
When all the noise dies down ,
Bernie emerges and finds that someone has been murdered. It 's
not the first dead body she has
ever seen. But it is the first she 's
ever seen killed by a dental tool.
Bernie is no fool. She knows
that all the evidence would lead
to her immediate conviction. She
consults her best friend Carl, who
is very good at giving bad advice.
He suggests she should try to win
some money on a TV game show
in order to settle the payoff , but
she rejects the idea.
In order to avoid being framed , Bernie has to find the
murderer before the San Francisco police find her. This is the
start of the real plot of the movie.
One of the most dramatic
scenes is the daytime chase between Bernie and Ray which starts
with a conversation in The Green
Valley , a classic old Italian
restaurent in the North Beach section , and it ends at the scenic
Potrero Hill.
Dealing with considerable problems of access and logistics, the
filmmakers spent a lot of time
planning in advance.
The tecnology of filming the
chase involved state-of-the-art
Panaflex equipment and cameras
which were used by the
photographers during combat in
World War II. These latter , older
cameras are light and can withstand enormous amout of abuse ,
allowing them to be placed where
Hollywood would not normally
put a camera,—low on bike-wheel
mounts or under a speeding car.
One camera was placed
underneath a pedestrain overpass
focused down on the freeway . It
shows the traffic speeding right

Wheel of Fortune
From page 4

Although the show had problems that could have been corrected through practice , the contestants seemed to be having a
good time.
Francis explained the situation
perfectly . "We 're amused and

you re not. " This was the case.
The people onstage were enjoying themselves, while the audience turned to stone.
A BU freshman may have
summed up the audience's feelings when he said , "This is a
drag . "

Learning is experiencing. This
was the basic concept when the
International Relations Club
(IRC) was formed in the early
seventies.
The Bloomsburg . University
organization is designed to
familiarize students with the
various cultures, ideals and traditions of other countries in the
hope of reducing and ideally erasing the stereotypes held by many .
The club membership was
almost completely American at
the beginning of its establishment. Because of a change in administrative policies and BU's increasing popularity among international students , its nativeforeign membership ratio became
increasingly equal . At the present
moment , it is almost 50-50.
The members are from twenty
different countries , including
America. This blend of cultures
promotes the interaction of
students helping to develop
friendshi ps, and ultimately a better understanding and a greater
respect for one another 's values ,
beliefs and behaviors.
The club not only works as a
catalyst on campus , but it also
provides the community with a
better understanding. Every
semester , the International Club
holds an International Food and
Craft Fair on and off-campus as
a community service project.
These awareness days find tables
filled with food , clothing, traditional and holiday items,etc; one
for each country. People can visit
the tables and get a "taste" of
each culture . Last fall , the International Food and Craft Fair was
held on campus. This semester it
is a part of the Bloomsburg
Renaissance Jamboree , which

i ne executive members of the International Relations Club are trying to get their ciun to neip students
experience various cultures at BU. (Voice photo by Alex Schillemans)
will be held on April 25 in
downtown Bloomsburg.
The club is try ing to form relations with the other state-owned
universities. The IRC plans to
partici pate in the International
Festival held in Kutztown
University on April 4 through 6.
The club is also sending three
representatives to the International Students Conference held
at Lock Haven University .
The International Relations
Club also organizes educational
tri ps to major U.S. cities. In the
past , the club members have
traveled to Washington ,D.C.,
Boston , New York , etc .
This year , IRC is going to
Williamsburg , Va., where
members will visit Colonial
America to gain knowledge of
post-Independence U.S. They are
also going to Busch Gardens to

visit the Pavilions of different
countries.
The club partici pated in the
Winterfest , where they sold funnel cakes for their fundraiser.
There the International Club won
second prize for the most creative
game.
The club is holding their second fundraiser in Elwell ,
Lycoming, Columbia and North
Halls , toni ght and Wednesday
ni ght between 8 to 10 p.m. to
hel p fund their tri p through the
sale of funnel cake .
The International Relations
Club executive board consist of
Shailish Modha (President) , Imtiaz Ali Taj (V.P.), Carol Harrick
(Treasurer) , Beth Lugg (P.R.O.),
Erum Alvie (Secratery)and Dean
Robert Norton (Advisor) .

With the absence of smog , the
pastel colors of San Francisco are
clearer and richer during the day.
And as the moonlight shimmered
across the bay and the fog rolled
in over the hills , making a truly
ghost-like atmosphere to help the
filmmakers underscore the unfolding mystery .
The murky pond and thickly
wooded areas of Stern Grove ,

parks , is the eerie setting for the
climactic scene of the movie.

Iroc a good looking car

Okay, the Camaro Iroc-Z28

make anyone sitting in it look
good . Spoilers , black-out trim ,
alloy wheels and two funny hood

Beauty is only skin deep , though.
For 1987, Chevrolet is offering the super-high tech , highly
over-rated Corvette motor. With
the 350 cubic inch Vette eng ine ,
the Iroc still produces five
horsepower less than the 225
horsepower 4.9 liter (called 5.0
liter) Mustang G.T. The base 5.0
liter Iroc motor cranks out only
190 suffocated ponies at 4400
r.p.m., not enough to make a
speed freak' s heart beat.
The Camaro still feels like a
musclecar all right. The driver
slides himself into comfortable
seats. Closing the door gives the
impression of commanding an
F-15 jet. In truth, the Camaro
really is a fine machine. It still has
a nice exhaust rumble and the
power to look at most other cars
through the blacked-out rear view

Burglar is Whoopi Goldberg 's
third movie. Goldberg 's poignant
motion picture debut as Celie in
Steven Spielberg 's powerftd film,
The Color Purple, earned her an
Academy Award nomination as
Best Actress. Foiling her work in
the movie Jumpin 'Jack Flash as
a bored computer programmer
who get involved with an international spy ring.
Burglar surely sounds good
with an impresive cast and story ,
but we have to wait until it come
to one of the theatres near
Bloomsburg. But when ever you
get a chance take my advice go
and see it.

mirrors . It has just come up on
the short side ofthe Chevy-Ford
horsepower war.
The Iroc boasts a hefty 3400
pounds , enoug h chariot to slow
any horse. Still the Z-28 offers
performance in other areas.
Wide , low-profile rubber and
four-wheel disc brakes guide the
'87 Iroc through the mountain
roads assuredly.

Chevrolet 's quality-control
program is steadil y making improvements on this 2*2. Squeaks
and rattles continue to plague the
Camaro , however.
When equi pped with the four
speed automatic , the '87 Iroc Z28
is a good-looking boulevard
cruiser that is a pleasure to drive.
A five-speed standard transmission is available for those who
don 't mind a little work in exchange for a few tenths off
quarter-mile times.
The 1987 Iroc Z-28 is a nice
machine with all the looks. Car
and Driver magazine referred to
it as a poor man 's Porsche. If that
is the case , the Mustang G.T. is

indeed , succeeding both
academically and athletically, "
Hollister said.
The competitive natu re of
Bloomsburg 's applicant pool
(about 5,500 yearly applications
for 1,090 spots) is another reason
athletes with questionable
academic records are not granted
admission.
"With that competitive nature,
I can 't , in good conscience, admit someone who doesn 't
measure up to our standards just
because they 're an athlete. I just
won't do for an athlete what I
wouldn't do for a normal student ," DeMelfi stated.

say that we admit athletes with
high academic abilities. This
study shows that , in fact , we do
it. Our student athletes coming in
are academically qualified and are
doing just as well as our total student population. "
Bloomsburg 's athletes have
shown that accomplishments both
on and off the field can indeed go
hand in hand . Over the past
several years the school's 18 varsity athletic teams have been
among the winningest programs
in the PSAC. The most recently
completed campai gn saw
Bloomsburg athletics capture
more than 60 percent of the
events in which its teams
participated.

Athletics and grades co-exist
normal residence halls, not in any
specially designed athletic housing, and we try to integrate them
into the academic community as
quickly as possible, as we do with
all of our students ," he said.
"We are committed to doing
everything within our power to
insure that these students receive
their education. It is foremost in
our minds and most important in
our efforts to help our student/athletes achieve their
goals ," he added. "Also, we
don 't want our athletes singled
out as not being able to do college work."
Chrsity said , "Coaches here
look at retention as well as
athletic ability . They don 't try to
'sell' us (the admissions office) a
mediocre student because they
know that that type of student is
not likely to be accepted by us.
They are also concerned about an
athlete's success academically
because they want a player for
four years, not just for one. "
Chris Moyer , a recent
graduate, is just one example of
a four-year performer at BU who
also enjoyed outstanding success
academically. Following the 1986
softball season, Moyer, then a
senior pitcher , along with the
Huskies ' sophomore catcher Cindy Freeland , was selected to the

After several years of intense study, a lot of college graduates
finally learn something. They're not qualified for the j ob they want.
Fact is, many graduates never find a career in their field of study.
All their time spent in study. Not enough time in the field.
That 's why there's a nationwide program for college students
called Cooperative Education. It allows students to alternate
studies at the college of their choice with paid , practical work
experience in the career of their choice.
Toparticipate in Co-op Education you don't need to fit into any
particular socio-economic group. You don't need to be a straight "A"
student either.
All you really need to be, is smart enough to leave school.

You earn a future when you earn a degree.

by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

To quote a young lady
from Bloomsburg , "I am
not a happy camper. "
No , there was something
that reall y made me quite
angry this past weekend . I
think it 's something we all
can relate to.
I went home this weekend
to watch my alma mater ,
Catasauqua , play in the
District VI basketball
playoffs.
Both our girls team and
guys team had qualified so
I thought it would be a nice
break to go home for a
weekend and check out
school
some
hi g h
basketball.
I first went to the girls
game Friday, which was a
consolation game to see
who the third team that went
to states would be. To no
suiprise of mine , I saw that
the Pine Grove girls had
made it into the finals once
again.
They 've always had good
teams , but rather rude fans ,
so I was not to disappointed
not to play them.
It is such a paradox that
I should think that , because
when I inquired as to our
opponent in the boy ' s
District VI final, I was told
it was the Cardinals of Pine
Grove.
So with my mind open
and hopes that they had
changed since I had left for
Bloomsburg, I went to
Stabler Arena , home ofthe
Eng ineers of Lehigh.
When I walked in I was
greeted with the familiar red
and white sea of Pine Grove
fans that literall y covered
the stands. I remember
thinking to myself , their
loyalty had not been curtailed , at least.
Pine Grove had to travel
an hour and a half to
Stabler , compared to
Catasauqua 's half hour trip.
The ride never bothered the
Cardinal fans thoug h; they
were always out in full
force.
What did bother the Cardinal fans was losing. They
didn 't do it often , but when
they did , you were in for
quite a harangue of
execrations.
So when Catty took an
earl y lead , the sparks
started to fly, with one man
in his mid-forties going
slightly overboard in his
gestures to the crowd across
the floor.
He even took it upon
himself to direct obscene
gestures to the student's that
were attending the .game
together and cheering for
the Roug h Riders of
Catasauqua , a tradition that
has been carried on for quite
some time now.
I'd like to point out that
Pine Grove also had a student group that sat together ,
and their behavior was exemplary , which is more
than could be said for the
adult fans of Pine Grove.
When an old teammate
and neighbor of mine hit a
shot with no time left on the
clock to win the game,
40-38 , Pine Grove fans
were in a frenzy .
One can only guess what
they were saying, but
whatever it was prompted
security to go up in the
stands after the same
gentleman (term used out of
respect for his age and not
his mental capacity) that had
been using the gestures
earlier.
On my way out , one fan

Squid Smokes Crack leads league

by Jay Schmader
For the Voice

On February 23, the nine team
street hockey intramural league
kicked of its spring season , and
afte r three games played so far ,
Squid Smokes Crack are in first
place.
In second place , just one-half
game behind the 'Squid' , are the
Cleveland Barons who sport a 2-0
led ger.
The next five teams in the
league are bunched all together ,
but still within striking range of
the Barons and the 'Squid. '
Phi Sig trails the leader by one
game with a 3-1 mark. Tied for

fourth place is CCCP and the
Dead Goat Saloon who each are
at 2-1.
Trailing farther back in the
pack , but definitely still in contention for the league title are the
Pounders and 401 , both tied with
1-2 marks .
Finally, in the basement , are
the Strange Brew who is 0-3 and
the Street Hawks who stand at
0-4.
So far , defense seems to be the
key to winning, as Squid Smokes
Crack has scored 19 goals while
only permitting two while the
Barons have tallied nine goals
while only one has been scored
upon them.

The street hockey league has
been called a Moose ' league with
no checking, and althoug h
tempers have flared once or
twice, the officiating has been
good .
"The officiating has been pretty good. There haven 't been
many fights ," said Steve Bosnian , one of the many street
hockey players .
This coming week before
Spring Break there are eight
games on tap . For the last place
teams , this is the chance for them
to make up ground as both
Strange Brew and the Street
Hawks play Squid Smokes
Crack.

women during the same time
period , while the males averaged a 2.62 g.p.a., somewhat below
the 2.91 of all men.
' 'Those results really don 't surprise me, " said Joe DeMelfi , an
admissions counselor and the
liason between the university 's
admissions office and the department of athletics. "We only admit people we feel are capable of
succeeding in higher education.
We look at athletes as we would
any other student . We don 't consider them (for admission) if we
don 't feel they can do the job
here. "
To be able to "do the job at
Bloomsburg, a student , whether
an athlete or not , must graduate
within the top half of his class and
attain approximately an 850
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
score to even be considered for
admission , according to James
Christy , director of admissions.
"We look at the academic
courses taken in high school ,"
Christy added. "A student must
complete at least 16 units (credit
hours), in some cases 18, in basic
courses such as English , math ,
and the sciences. "
According to Proposition 64
passed by the NCAA Division II
member institutions and conferences at the organization 's annual convention in January and
set to go into effect in August
1988, students wishing to participate in athletics at the Division
II level must attain at lest a 700
SAT score and carry a 2.0 g.p.a.
in 11 core curriculum courses in
high school .
The policy was already in effect at the NCAA's Divison I institutions, due to Proposition 48,
which was passed two years ago.
Those standards are well below
those considered for admission at
Bloomsburg.
"Our standards have always
been higher than those required
by the NCAA, " said John S.
Mulka , dean of student development, ' 'and we will always try to
recruit student athletes with
higher-than-minimal academic
records. The fact of the matter is ,
we couldn 't get a student athlete
into this institution with those
standards (established by Pro-

position 64).
At the NCAA's recent convention , voting on Proposition 64
among Division II schools was
93-70 in favor , despite strong opposition from about 30 black colleges. Bloomsburg was one of only two of the 14-member of the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) to vote in favor
of Proposition 64.
According to Mulka , the creation of minimal participation standards for athletes at the Division
II level will help Bloomsburg
athletically. "This will cause
some schools that currently have
superior athletes with lower-thanaverage academic abilities to suffer. If the student cannot participate because of bad grades ,
that will help us in the long run
because some of those athletes
may be competing against us
now , while all of our athletes
realready
meet
those
quirements. "
Mulka attributes the success of
Bloomsburg athletes in the
classroom to the lack of special
treatment they recieve as athletes
and to coaches who understand
the need for academic success.
"We don 't treat our athletes
any differently than any other
students. We place them in our

Athletics and academics co-exist at Bloomsburg

by Mike Albri ght
For thc Voice

Educators throughout the country are concerned about the
scholastic performance of student
athletes , and the National Colleg iate Athletic Asssociation
(NCAA) recentl y passed leg islation concerning academic requirements for athletes. But
Bloomsburg University of Pennsy lvania has proven over the

Off the Bench

years that its student athletes can
compete both on the field and in
the classroom.
According to a university study
completed this past fall , 62.7 percent of Bloomsburg 's athlete s
graduate , a rate far above the national average for all students ,
which falls between 30 and 40
percent.' BU athletes maintained
a 2.81 grade point average
(g.p.a.), just below the 3.05
g.p.a. of their classmates.

Bloomsburg 's graduation rate for
all students is 68.3 percent.
Among the athletes in the study
who failed to graduate , only 9.2
percent were dismissed for
academic reasons while another
8.5 percent transferred. The remaining 19.6 percent who didn 't
graduate left school for personal ,
financial , or other reasons.
The study shows Bloomsburg 's
female athletes compiled a 3.13
g.p.a. compared with 3.10 for all

These are the true champions
by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

Once again folks , it 's time for
another addition of your favorite
column and mine, Off the Bench.
As I sat working the desk in
Montour Hall Sunday afternoon ,
missing a beautiful day outside ,
my mind was hard at work trying to come up with a subject for
my column.
I started thinking about all that
was happening in the wide world
of sports , and suddenly an idea
hit me.
I remembered I was at this party Saturday night at T. and T. s
house watching a string of basketball games on ESPN. I was also
slightly inebriated.
Anyway, one game stuck out in
my mind. It wasn 't that the two
teams playing were that good or
well known (Kent State and Central Michigan), but rather how the
game was played.
Both teams executed well ,
limited their turnovers , and shot
well from the field and the charity
stripe. And as what usually happens when both teams are doing
this , the game came down to the
wire .
With twenty seconds left on the
clock , Kent State shot two clutch
free throws to tie the game at 62
apiece. Then , knowing they had
to foul , made the mistake of fouling an 82 percent free-throw
shooter. Of course he made both ,
and now with only six seconds
left , Central Michigan had a
64-62 lead.

But the Golden Flashes were
still alive and could smell the
automatic NCAA post-season
tournament bid that could be
theirs if they won.
After calling a time-out , they
inbounded to a player (his name
is unimportant) and he drove
down the court quickly.
Suddenly, he saw a small opening in the Chippwas' defense, and
he cut toward the basket hoping
to send the game into overtime.
Then tragedy struck.
The man slipped and fell flat on
his face. The ball skittered away
and Central Michigan was making plans for " the NCAA
tournament.
I felt so bad for this man , this
team, that had played miles above
themselves onl y to fall just short
of their goal in the end.
But that is how tough the world
of sports really is. Only the winner survives, no matter how good
the other team play s, even if the
loss is the result of a freak play .
This man is not tlie first person
ever to 'blow it' in the clutch , and
he certainly won 't be the last , but
if he and his team are real winners , they will return.
Think back to the Fiesta Bowl
and Vinny Testaverde . Give Penn
State all the credit in the world ;
they were the better team that
night as Testaverde went color
blind and was passing to both
teams. But just because he had
one bad ni ght doesn 't mean he'll
always be bad . I think he'll be a

fine pro quarterback. Testaverde
is a winner.
Remember the great playing of
the Red Sox as they battled
furiousl y against the powerful
Mets? They had the Series practically clinched until their
momentum was broken.
You all recall the play . Game
Six of the Series and veteran first
baseman Bill Buckner let a
groundball roll through his legs
to allow the winning run to score .
But Buckner and the Red Sox will
work just as hard in 1987 and will
be back. Buckner and the Red
Sox are winners.
Do you recall four years ago in
1983 when Dennis Conner blew
a 3-1 race lead in the America 's
Cup to lose to Austrailia? The
loss ended the longest sports winning streak in history .
Conner was lambasted with
criticism and insults , but he
showed true grit to go out and win
the cup back from the Aussies
and return it to its ri ghtful
owners . Conner is a winner.
The list can go on and on and
on of people who 'blew it ' in the
clutch , but have proved before
and will prove it again that they
are true champions.
Bloomsburg University 's
men's and women's basketball
teams and the wrestling team
struggled at the end of their
respective seasons falling just
short of their goals, but I am sure,
just as I am sure of that player
from Kent State, that they wil! all
come back and emerge as true
champions.
