Rumor of AIDS victims on BU campus creates concern
by Lisa Cellini
Staff Writer

A rumor that several students
on campus have contracted Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome [AIDS] has recently
alarmed much of the campus
population.
This disease has reached
epidemic proportions throughout
the world. As research consistently verifies that a suitable AIDS
vaccine may not be developed for
years, apathy about the disease is
rapidly ending across America.
It is being replaced by an active awareness of the disease, and
mass opportunities to educate the

American population of its
dangers on personal and social
levels.
Bloomsburg University has
recently instituted an AIDS task
force in order to decrease the probability that AIDS cases will be
discovered on campus , and to
deal with possible cases in the
future .

Mr.
John
Scrimgeour ,
chairperson of the Counseling
and Human Development Center,
said he was not surprised to hear
that such a rumor was circulating
on campus considering the fear of
the disease that Americans are
widely experiencing.

"I'm as close to the 'inside ' as
you can be, and I've heard
nothing which coul'd possibly
substantiate the rumor , "
Scrimgeour said.

As one of the members in the
BU AIDS task force, Scrimgeour
claimed that two AIDS committees have been created to deal
with the policy and education of
the disease university-wide.
Dr. Thomas Klinger, professor
of biology and allied health and
head of the Education Committee , said , "The best approach to
AIDS is...education. "
His committee plans to initiate
a variety of AIDS programs

which will increase awareness of
the disease , for "not only next
year , but the future as well. "
A movie about the disease has
been circulated on campus to
beg in the educational program.
Althoug h overall turnout was
surprisingl y low , Scrimgeour
believes that the goal of showing
the film was achieved if people
learned something about AIDS
that they had not previously
known.
"We 're not waiting with
baited-breath s for an AIDS case
on campus , " he said ,"but we

want to deal with the problem
before it becomes a reality. "
Father Chester Snyder ,
minister of the Catholic Campus
Ministry and head of the AIDS
Policy Committee, said AIDS
policies of other universities are
being studied by the committee in
order to formulate the most effective policy for BU.
"Not only will it involve the
students , but the faculty , and
other university employees as
well , " he said.
"An AIDS policy will be difficult to define, and hasn 't been

as of yet , "said Scrimgeour. "The
university would like this policy
'yesterday ,' so to speak. "
Although these committees are
considering long-term goals ,
Scrimgeour claims that evidence
of their efforts will be seen this
semester.
"The best way for us to deal
with this rumor is to tell the
truth ," he said. "We're taking
care of the mechanics in the event
that AIDS does appear on campus in the future , but to -the best
of my knowledge, that hasn 't
happened yet. "

U. S, troops landed in Russia
by William J. Eaton

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

There are no longer many people with personal recollections of
when American soldiers landed in
Russia.
But
Fyodr
Kobuishev
remembers. He is in his 80s now ,
with white hair , and he recalls
vividl y the day that the
doughboys rolled through in their
wagons.
The Bolshevik state was very
young, and Kobuishev was not
much older , when the United
States, along with other foreign
powers, sent in troops in the waning months of World War I afte r
the government of the czars had
been toppled and civil war had
erupted.
For a variety or reasons , including support of the antiBolshevik Whites , British ,
French and U.S. troops were
landed at Murmansk on the
Barents Sea, and Archangel in the
north .
American troops were also put
ashore in Vladivostok on the
Pacific and remained there until
1920. A much larger force of
Japanese troops also came to this
port city and did not leave until
1922 .
The incident has been given
considerable attention recently in
the Soviet press in an effort to
counter the impact of the ABC
Television network's mini-series,
"Amerika ," that was shown in
the United States last month .
Soviet officials are emphasizing that the television series dealt
with a fictional takeover of the
United States by Soviet troops ,
but that the American troops that
came ashore here were real .
Even Maj . Gen. William S.
Graves , who commanded the
American Expeditionary Force of
between 7,500 and 10,000
doughboys , harbored doubts
about the purpose of his mission.
"I must admit ," he wrote in
his memoirs, "I do not know
what the United States was trying to accomplish by military intervention. "
Graves had been given ambiguous orders by President
Woodrow Wilson that directed
him to assist anti-Bolshevik
groups but also barred interference in Russia's internal
affairs.
So while he assigned American
troops to guard the TransSiberian railway that delivered
supplies to the anti-Bolshevik
forces in the interior , he refused
to jo in in punitive expeditions
against Bolshevik units .
At times, U.S. soldiers had
confrontations with Cossack units
and Japanese troops who were
supposedly allies. At other times,
the Americans suffered casualties
from attacks by pro-Bolshev ik
partisans.
In general, they did not engage

in large battles but were harassed by the guerillas. Sometimes
they found home-made grenades
built with American tobacco tins
that had been good-will gifts .
The worst American losses
came in the "Romanovka
Massacre" on June 25, 1919.
American historian Robert J.
Maddox , author of The Unknovm
War Against Russia , recounts
how 24 Americans were killed
and an equal number wounded
during a pre-dawn attack by partisans on their camp in
Romanovka .
The newspaper Red Star, the
official publication of the Soviet
armed forces , recently accused
American soldiers of committing
large-scale atrocities in Siberia.
"In the Amur district alone ,
Americans
destroyed
25
villages," it said. "In March
1919...they attacked the totally
peaceful village of Ivanovka ,
burned it down and killed 1,300
of its inhabitants. "
Kobuishev , who was a revolutionary partisan at the time, talked with a visiting reporter the
other day , and recalled that he
and other Russians were startled
at the sight of the Americans.
"We didn 't even know who
they were," he said. "Their hats
were absolutely out of place for
a soldier ... and the animals we
never saw before. "
The "out-of-place" b?ts were
the campaign hats worn by the
American soldiers of World War
I - Marine Corps drill instructors
still wear them, as does Smokey
the Bear - and the strange animals
were mules, which were com-

monplace on the Western Front
and on farms throughout the
United States.
He added that unlike other
soldiers that civilians had encountered , the Americans did not
treat the people at all badly.
Another old partisan , V.T.
Pachetsky, who recalls that
"whole companies and platoons "
of Americans disembarked from
the troopships and marched down
Vladivostok's main street , has
memories that contrast with
Kobuishev 's.
He said the U.S. military police
sometimes attacked civilians with
their night sticks.
"Their first tendency ," he
said , "was to get drunk , and in
that state they did terrible
things. "
Two American regiments arrived in Vladivostok in August
1918. Their assignment, besides
guarding the Trans-Siberian
Railway , was to protect the coal
mines at Suchan , about 70 miles
from Vladivostok , according to
Maddox.
Two batallions went far inland ,
to a point just east of Lake Bakai ,
to guard a' vital section of the
railroad .
Gen. Graves tried to remain
neutral , Maddox says, but the
American military presence
helped nonetheless to preserve a
vital supply pipeline for the White
forces.
By the time they left in 1920,
an army chaplain had performed
about eight marriages involving
doughboys and Russian women.

Telethon surpasses set goal
by Nina Libertella
Staff Writer

The Sixth Annual Easter
Seals Telethon ,Give a Little
Love, raised a grand total of
$13 ,426.36 in donationsSi ,426 more than the anticipated goal.
The telethon , which ran
from 5-10 p.m. on Sunday ,
was broadcast live from the
television studios in the
McCormick Human Services
Building . A live telecast was
also conducted from the Toddle House.
The evening began by
featuring the Easter Seal

Society 's 1987 Ambassador ,
Ann Seroskie. Appearances
where made by Dr. Harry
Ausprich , President of BU ,
Daniel Bauman , mayor of
Bloomsburg, and other area
"celebreties. "
The hosts for the telethon
were: Vernon Rochester , BU
student; Bob Gale , WHLM;
and Gerry
Stropnicky ,

Entertainment was provided
by various area bands , singers,
and mimes. Wheel-chair races
also added to the excitement,
as did the balloon ascention.

Journalist riskslif e tof i l mAp artheid

News Editors

Journalist Sharon Sopher, who
produced the shocking documentary Witness to Apartheid , seems
to be determined to educate the
world about the alleged persecutions against blacks in South
Africa.
Sopher came to Bloomsburg
University last night, as part of
the Provost 's Lecture Series, to
speak about experiences she had
while filming the movie.
When Sopher went to Africa ,
in 1985, she had no intentions of
filming a documentary. She was
on assignment to write an article
on Bishop Tutu , a black religous
leader who supports the antiapartheid movement in South
Africa.
Upon her arrival , she was appealed to by Tutu and others to
make a film depicting the black
suffering in v South Africa ,
especially of children.
After learning of the death of
a 4-year-old shot by white police

while playing on his front lawn ,
Sopher decided to go ahead with
the film.
While filming, Sopher frequently mailed footage from the
country to London in case of
police intervention.
"Our main concern was not to
endanger the people in the film ,"
Sopher said .
Sopher explained that the
police would arrest and even kill
people who had contact with her ,
so she was careful not to carry
evidence on her that could identify her sources.
People who Sopher interview
included Bishop Tutu , families of
children who have been killed by
soldiers , and white doctors who
never allowed themselves to be
filmed before.
At first, the white doctors were
opposed to the filming because
they feared jeopardizing their
work .
In 1977, a group of doctors
formed NAMDA , the National
African Medical and Dental
Assossiation, which taught blacks
first aid .

This first aid included teaching
blacks how to remove bullets
from each other so that they
would not have to go to the
hospitals.
The hospitals are state-owned
and blacks with bullet wounds
stand the chance of being turned
in to the government by doctors
or being arrested by the police.
At one point , Sopher said ,
police surrounded a house where
she was interviewing a family
whose son had been killed by
police. She was arrested and placed m prison.
Sopher recalled that she was
denied her right to call the
American Embassy. "They made
it clear , you had no rights ."
After her release, she managed to complete the film and get
it safely out of the country .
The film was finished in April
1986, and was first shown in
England that month .
Sopher learned this past week
that her film was nominated for
an Acadamey Award. She wants
people to understand that Witness
to Apartheid was not meant as an

artform , but as a statement
against apartheid.
A half-hour version of the film
is being developed for use in high
schools. Sopher said she hopes
this will better educate American
youths about "what children their
age in South Africa are suffering. "
Sopher said from the programs
held in high schools , she hopes
to develop a letter-writing campaign. The letters would be sent
to black children in South Africa
to show them others care about
th eir situation is.

Civil Ri ghts Leader Mary
Frances Berry, who speaks out on
the issues of yesterday and today
as they pertain to Blacks , will be
the next speaker in the Provost 's
Lecture Series on Thursday ,
March 26,at 8 p.m. in Kuster
Auditorium, Hartline.
She will also lead an informal
discussion at 3 p.m. in the Forum
in McCormick Human Services
Center on the same day .

floor manag ing, and directing
were conducted by BU Mass
Communication students and
volunteers.
The technical supervision
was overseen by Tom Joseph ,
director of TV Services at BU.
Joseph said he was very pleased with the overall turnout.
"The program went very ,
very well ," he stated. "The
students did a tremendous
job. "
CoCirriculum Coordinator
for the Easter Seals Society
Leah Haussman said , "I am
very impressed with the tapings. "

Getting breathing room
by Jeff Cox
Editor

Cheers this week go to the Pennsy lvania state
legislature for the proposal of a bill to restrict *smoking in public buildin gs.
If passed , the bill would restrict smoking by
employees , in rcstaraunts and most any other public
building unless otherwise posted.
The implications of the bill are far reaching.
Finall y , a move has been made to protect the
ri ghts of non-smokers, the ones who must subject
themselves to the dangers of smoking even thoug h
they do not smoke .
More and more evidence is being uncovered on
how smoking affects everyone around the smoker.
By segregating smokers from non-smokers ,
everyone involved should be satsified , as smokers
can still smoke , but with restrictions.
Especiall y, though , those that do not have to endure the nuisance and health clanger that ci garette
smoke causes will benefit from this bill , getting
some protection for their ph ysical and emotional
health.
Rather than protecting the ri ghts of those that
choose to pollute the air and other peop le 's lungs ,
a solid move has been made to protect the people 's
well-being instead of protecting the ri ght to annoy
others and endanger the public health.
Alread y, people in the tobacco industry have raised comp laints concerning the bill , but it looks this
will be yet another biow dealt to the tobacco
industry .
As if the tobacco industry did not have enough
problems with bad publicity and restrictions imposed by the government, it must now deal with
a measure that further discourages smoking by making it even more inconvenient.
The industry had to also deal with in February
the requirement of warning labels on smokeless
tobacco, a move that further loaded the guns of pro-

tective mothers , wives and friends in the recent
wave to show the danger of smokeless tobacco .
Bans on advertising for smokeless and further
restrictions on cigarette advertising look to be inevitable as the anti-tobacco push in this country
escalates.
While the move to limit smoking in public p laces
seems to be a move in the interest of public health ,
placing wanting labels on smokeless tobacco merely
appears as a pacify ing measure to calm those who
see "di pping " and "chewing " as nasty and dirty
habits.
While concrete evidence has been presented
numerous times revealing the definite danger of
smoking, real , solid evidence to back the claim th at
smokeless is dangerous has yet to be taken seriousl y
on a large-scale basis.
Still , the warning labels further solidify the stance
of those opposed to the use of tobacco in any form .
Additionall y, they signify the entrance of the new
morality into another industry , injuring a group that
feels they are merely meeting the public ' s needs ,
just like any other business.
Additionall y, if the smoking limitation bill is
passed , Pennsy lvania will assert itself as a leader
in the anti-tobacco move , as leg islation in other
states does not seem as harsh as this state 's.
The penalty for violating the proposal would be
no slap on the wrist , either.
For first-time offenders , the penalty would be a
fine of up to $100 and a fine of up to $300 for further violations , a sharp move for a lawmaking body
that is serious about making social reforms.
Whether the bill passes or not remains to be seen ,
as the knee-jerk replies and individual freedoms
violation cries are sure to be heard .
However , it is just that issue of individual
freedoms that is at stake here; whether the government has the ri ght to intervene in a matter where
one group 's freedoms infringe on another 's.
Here ' s one vote for the rights of non-smokers.

Civil Service needs heip

(Editor 's note: The following
editorial appeared in Tuesday 's
Washington Post.)
Former Governor Charles S.
Robb of Virg inia has been
heading a task force set up by the
Twentieth Century Fund to look
into the condition of the top ranks
of the federal bureaucracy - the
Senior Executive Service , which
Congress established nine years
ago to create a new class of elite
administrators.
Things are going badl y among
the elite , the task force reports.
Resi g n a t i o n s
and
earl y
retirements rap idl y depleted the
ori ginal corps. Tensions between
poitical appointees and civil servants have increased .
For peop le in the private sector with specialized managerial
experience, "the federa l government has become an employer of
last resort. "
As for remedies , the task force
is unfortunately less precise. Like

just about everyone else who has
looked at the salaries of the senior
civil service , it says that they need
to be paid more money .
But beyond that the recommendations are pretty vague, perhaps
because most of the trouble arises
from the political climate rather
than from clear structural defects
in the government.
Civil service salaries will
never , at the top levels , match
those paid in private business.
But in the past , that disparity
was often offset by a patriotic
ideal of public service that caught
the imagination of many highly
talented young people.
Under successive administrations , that quality of magnetic
idealism has faded .
At present , the task force sadly observes , federal service falls
near the bottom of the list of
choices , often below state and
local government, among the best
college graduates.
This report stops short of draw-

Bias n art c e c ted
Editor:

This letter is in response to
Anne Richardson 's "article" that
appeared in Monday ' s issue oi
The Voice concerning the Program Board 's version of Wheel
of Fortune.
In my introduction to journalism class one of the most important things taug ht was to be
objective at all times; report only the facts. There is no room for
bias in responsible reporting.
If you defend this type of
"reporting " by labeling it a
"review , " I' m stunned . Reviews
are usuall y of movies , plays, even
sporting events , not mock-ups of
game shows. Besides , nowhere
was it stated as such.
If Ms. Richardson had taken
the time to conduct an interview ,
which is one of the most basic
aspects of reporting, she would
have a better understanding of all
the hard work my committee
members and I put into the event.
She
would
also
have
discovered that through this hard
work we developed many inside
jokes. Althoug h these jokes may
have been inappropriate for the
event , I am not a professional ,
and have never claimed to be one.
Finally , an interview would
have supplied legitimate quotes
instead of taking random ones out

of context that I made during the
contest.
Another point Ms. Richardson
missed is the fact that many
students party on Friday ni ghts.
This is why people ' 'did not make
it that far. "
With all the events we organize
each semester, we do not have the
luxury of time to practice
everything to perfection. Nor do
we have the financial resources
to hire professional emcees and
sound technicians for each event.
It is hard enough to motivate
people and program events for
this suitcase college , without being shot down in the paper by someone who doesn 't know what 's
happening. I also do not appreciate the negative implications
made on my character in a
campus-wide publication.
The Recreation Committee has
several events left this semester ,
and as always, we welcome all input. Please feel free to contact
me , Ms. Richardson , if you have
any improvements.
As for the freshman who
thought it was a drag, I wish you
would let us know what interests
you; we'll do our best to accomadate you.
Robert Francis
Kehr Union Program Board

ing the obvious conclusion ; that
while better pay will help, any
substantial improvement will
have to begin with the people in
the White House and the people
running to get there .
Bureaucrat-bashing and running against the federal government have become staples of
political self-indulgence in our
campaigns.
And over the years , sitting
presidents have increasingly continued the campaigns and the badmouthing while in office, a tactic that is supposed to make it
seem that they are not responisble for government failings , but
that faceless bureaucrats are.
An energetic president can do
a lot to draw talented people into
public service , and it 's in a president 's own interest to do it.
He is responsible for running
a gigantic organization in which
the technical and administrative
demands on the top managers are
steadily increasing.
But the general capacity of the
senior civil service to deal with
them, Mr. Robb 's task force suggests , is moving in the other
direction.

Reagan must keep control
by George Will
Editorial Columnist

An elderl y doctor has said ,
"I'm now at an age when I've got
to prove that I' m just as good as
I never was. "
Rex Harrison 's jest is Ronald
Reagan 's task. He has begun with
his brisk speech , which was
stocked with the required moral ,
tactical and strateg ic categories.
There was the language of
moral responsibility. There was
tactical
shrewdness:
In
Washington, the best way to
change the subject is to change
the furniture , meaning personnel.
And there was the strateg ic
recognition that the open question
- opened by his recent behavior
- concerns the sufficiency ol his
energ ies , his intellectual and
emotional application more than
his physical stamina.
A l e x a n d e r Hamilton , the
founder most relevant to the
realities of the modern state ,
stressed the sovereign importance
of "energy in the executive. "
Reagan 's understanding of that
may still be insufficient.
The disquieting passage in his
speech was his assertion that ransoming hostages resulted because
he asked too many questions
about hostages.
He certainly asked the wrong
questions. He did not question the
asumptions of the entire Iran initiative or the wisdom of its
advocates.
Worse , his diagnosis of his
failure - too many of the wrong
questions - suggests an essentially
passive presidential function , the
questioning of others ' initiatives.
Until he decides to be more of an
initiator , rather than a mere inquisitor , he will not be "just as
good as he never was. "
Reagan never was the irresistable force he once appeared
to be because the Democratic
Party was such a movable object.
His electoral record and early
legislative victories gave rise to

Attitude change must

Editor:

A different thing has happened in this generation beginning in
1953, which the King James Bible refers to as the latter day s TV evangelism! Never before has
preaching reached so many people , and yet we're seeing the
terrible results: lying and stealing
have become a way of life for
many .
Children drop out of school and
run away from home in unprecedented numbers , and many
of their lifeless bodies are kept in
big city morgues awaiting
identification.
The state, churches and the
media have zeroed in on equality as the solution , but in fact it is
equality which has ruined life for
all.
And with world terrorism, it 's
perceived inequality that causes
it.
But the best way to end terrorism - especially intellectual along with the bloodsucking

business monopolies and moronic
brotherhoods , is to go back to
square one and start over. But the
government isn 't about to just let
slavery end .
But even though the IRS will

goes back to Genesis 1:27, "So

hyperbole.
And now Washington , reversing form , is saying that his short1
comings validate , retroactivel y,
all the condesencions of the
intelli gentsia.
The apotheosis of Howard
Baker is but the freshest evidence
that too much winter has unhinged Washington 's jud gment.
How else explain the apparent
conviction that the White House
chief of staff , a position that , a
generation ago , had not yet congealed from accumulated functions , is now the crucial variable
in the equation of government?
Baker is one of Washington 's
grown-ups and will accept adulation in the spirit that Jack Benny
accepted an award : "I don 't
deserve this , but then , I have arthritis and I don 't deserve that ,
either. "
Such giddiness as Bakermania
is as American as (a sage has
said) French toast and Eng lish
muffins. But it obscures a fact:
Our government is energized , if
at all , from the Oval Office , not
from down the hall.
I could be accused of worshipping at Baker 's shrine. He was
my presidential choice in 1980.
But it is preposterous to think
his White House presence is
much more than the negative
guarantee that outright lunacy
will not again flourish within the
White House fence . Avoidance of
lunacy is an insufficient agenda.
Baker 's genius blossomed
when , as Senate majority leader ,
he was handed Reagan 's agenda.
Reagan 's task today is to hand
him another agenda.
That is , Reagan should not just
settle for the theatricality of summitry and the superstition of arms
control , two vices by which
Presidents , unlike the nation.
prosper.
Reagan 's recruitment of Baker
is evidence that conservatism is
coming of age by acknowledging
that government is a dignified ,
demanding profession.
Reagan , who used to ridicule
the "Washington buddy system,"
now knows that people like
Baker , who is everybody 's buddy, come in handy .
When Republicans are in their
bluff , towel-snapping, lockerroom mood , they sound too much
the way the White House's fallen
cowboys - Oliver North et al. -

sounded in converstations

by

selfcowboy ' s
The
congratulatory exchanges reek of
contempt for peop le who practice
the patience demanded by
democracy and who accept the
procedural accomadations required by anything as orderly as
government.
Now , assuming that the Oliver
Norths have been removed from
the precincts of power , is it too
much to hope th at their journalistic equivalents be sedated?
A wit has said that everything
in newspapers is absolutely true ,
except reports of events about
which one has personal
knowledge .
I know there are journalists
who recentl y would have lost
their reputations for seriousness ,
had they such , by writing the rubbish that has been said about Nancy Reagan.
It has been feverishly reported
she issued a statement she did not

issue , attended a meeting she did
not attend , caused the hirings and
departures of people whose hirings and departures she had
nothing to do with , and espouses
views she does not hold .
No wonder that when Howard
Baker asked her opinion of the
appointment of William Webster
as CIA director she recoiled , saying she did not want to have opinions about everything.
The suggestion that Mrs.
Reagan is a Catherine de Medici
are issuing from the same press
corps that six years ago believed ,
with equal certitude , that she was
Valley Girl emeritus , interested
onl y in clothes and china
(tableware , not the country).
Some Washingtonians who
preen themselves on perfect attunement to feminist sensibilities
seem scandalized by Mrs.
Reagan 's audacity in having opinions and her impertinence in not
sealing them in a mason jar.
The prize for solemn nonsense
goes to those who have contrived to conclude that an opionated
first lady is an affront to the
Constitution.
Imagine a first lady who has
opinions. Who does she think she
is? A citizen? An editorialist?
Eleanor Roosevelt?

Members of the rock band The Cure have been the target of the Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee because
of

"* the
controversial lyrics in their song Killi ng an Arab.

Rock group claims song not racist
for the Voice

The Cure, a progressive
rock group, has come under
fire from the AmericanArab Anti-Discrimination
Committee (ADC) for their
song Killing An Arab.
The band said they intended the song to be a protest against "senseless killing " and Arab discrimination. The band also believes
that the song has been
misinterpreted by the ADC
and some disc jockeys.
Inspiration for the song
came from Albert Camus '
novel , L 'Etrange r, and was
originall y written in 1976
by Robert Smith , a member
of The Cure.
"The song was intended
to mirror one of the key incidents in the book: that of
the senseless killing of an
Arab , " Smith said. "I explained then , as I have

Editor 's Note: In the next f e w
issues of 'The Voice, the goals of
the Strategic Issues Group will be
explained. This explaination will
be given in three parts: Goals,

Suggested implementation
strategies for meeting goal one:
(Firs t dig it indicates goal
number , letter(s) indicates

1 a. Develop degree programs
and support services geared to the
needs of adult student (e.g., flexible scheduling, alternate
delivery, increased evening and
weekend course offerings, in-

creased day care facilities , etc.)
1 a. Consider telecommunications technology based/videotex
course offerings as an area in
which we may attract nontraditional students.
1a. Establish a summer sampler
for rural Pennsylvania youth to
encourage going on to hi gher

of the song contains absolutely no elements of
racism whatsoever. "
Complaints about the
contents of Killing An Arab
have forced Elektra , The
Cure 's label , to request
radio stations to take it off
their play lists .
Bob Gale , program director
at
WHLM
in
Bloomsburg , said the question to remove the song
from the playlists is one of
ethics.
"You have to consider
your audience ," Gale said.
"If most of your audience
likes it , then keep it. If the
majority hates it , maybe
you should get rid of it. "
Gale added that the Frist
Amendment protects the
song from being kept off the
air.

chairperson of the event , Student
Showcase was ori ginated to give
students the opportunity to perform. "We wanted to involve
everyone, not only musicians but
comedians as well ,"Davidson

Cash prizes were added to attract more interest to the program. A total of six acts entertained the crowd who sat in a
cabaret setting.
Four acts competed in the
muscial category . Paul Hay ward
won the $50 first prize for his
sing ing act. Hayward performed
some of his own songs as well as
music from other artists.

Air Force ROTC off ers a wide variety of challenging activities
by Laura George

Most people don 't have any
idea what Air Force ROTC
(Reserve Officer Training

cadets walking aroung in

on a college campus.
Air Force ROTC is a program designed to train college
students with any major to
become officers. I stumbled
upon the program the second
semester of my sophomore
year.
What scares most people
about the military is basic
training. In Air Force ROTC ,
there is onl y one basic training session which lasts from
four to six weeks and usuall y
occurs between the sophomore
and junior years.

Mother Nature always knows best

by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor

The other morning while walking to my 8 a.m. class , I found
myself cursing Mother Nature up
and down for being such a fickle
lad y. How dare she play such a
nasty trick on us?
One minute she's offering us a
weekend of fun in the sun , and
then quickl y she changes her
mind and sends the cold winter
weather down upon her children.
As I pondered upon her
method of madness , I finall y
came up with the conclusion that ,
as usual ,"mother knows best. "
This conclusion was reached
when I , and many others on campus asked themselves the ill-fated

question ,"What have I done this
weekend?"
Among the answers of playing
tennis , going to the town park ,
cruising in just washed cars , or
checking out the sights- doing
schoolwork did not mske the top
10 list. In fact , for most of us , it
didn 't make the list at all.
But I'd like to believe that
Mother Nature , out of the kindness of her heart , gave us a
weekend of sunshine in order to
vent off all of the frustrations
from a semester filled with papers
and exams.
Out of maternal instinct , I
believe all mother 's have a way
of knowing when their childre n
need a reward , that extra big
hug, or a much needed word of

encouragement.
As for myself , Mother Nature
seemed to know that I was
reaching my breaking point.Her
gift of warm weather presented
me with a reason , if not an excuse, to take a "personal day " to
cast my worries to the side.
People who I havn 't seen smile
in a long time were motivated to
go outside and make the most of
the beautiful day . The only worry
that people had was if their
bathing suits still fit or if their legs
looked like ham hocks after the
long winter months.
But like any good mother ,
Mother Nature did not want her
children to abuse the g ift that she
had given them .
So afte r an entire weekend of

seeing her children running
aroung in bathing suits and drinking beer off of roof tops , she
knew the fun must come to an
end .

In her infinite wisdom , she
realized that if the sun continued
to
shine
bri ghtly
upon
Bloomsburg, her kiddies were'
sure to fail every midterm that
had to be taken.
As I continued to walk to class
on that brisk morning following
that memorable weekend of
unseasonably warm weather , I
realized that I was doing to
Mother Natu re exactly what I do
to my own mom - take for
granted the many wonderful
things she brings my way .

This reading, taken yesterday at the Columbia County Farmers
Naitonal Bank , could easily have been reversed four days ago,
when temperatures soared into the 60s. (Voice photo by Robert
Finch)

Thanks Mother Nature , I needed that.

Enjoy the break while you can

Dave Burian
By now , most of us are
finishing up our tests, papers, and
other forms of academic
necessities before we head away
from our beloved campus and
participate in Spring Break .
This is an activity that we anticipate for many months, following the decline of the Winter
months and the cold temperatures
that go with it.
Unfortunately, there 's no fun in
this year 's Spring Break for me,
as I plan on working for the remainder of the vacation.
But for the majority of the stu-

dent populace , I' m sure there is
a warm place waiting for you , if
only in the depths of your
imagination.
With the coming of this vacation , I must take pause to recall
those projects that I have yet to
complete before the end of the
semester , and my eventual
graduation.
It seems very strange to be
planning for parties , moving, and
the activities that accompany the
ending of an era .
I remember first arriving on
this campus, and the uncertainties
that I encountered when first
moving into North Hall.
I was one of the unlucky ones
who shared a room with two
other guys, at first.
Then, the detripling kink worked itself out and I spent the remainder of that first year gambling, playing Guts till all hours of
the day and night , and sleeping
for the majority of the day and
afternoon.
As a freshman , it was difficult
to put the 'College Experience '

Belew uses music
as a type of art
by Ted Green
Staff Writer '

Guitarist and composer Adrian
Belew has jo ined the everenlarg ing ranks of experimental
composers such as Babbitt and
Penderecki with his knew solo
album titled Desire Caught by the
Tail.
As a former member of King
Crimson and The Talking Heads ,
Adrian has always been involved with revolutionary styles of
music.
This new album is the culmination of years of experimenting
with guitar sounds , and avantegarde musical structures.
The first side starts off with the
songTango Zebra, a mellow
acoustic guitar piece with electric
guitar accompaniment. Here , he
disp lays the fruits of his experimental labor by getting wind ,
trumpet , and thunder sounds
from his guitar. All of this combines to form an Indonesian style
melody.
The second piece is Laughing
Man ,.a modern electric waltz

reminiscent of carousel music.
Yes , there is the sound of a man
laughing, but Mr. Belew uses his
own voice for this.
Side two begins with Portrait
of Margaret. In this song , Adrian
paints a musical picture of his
wife which includes a funk style
rhythm, with baby cries and a.fu z zy guitar lead.
This is the only song of the
album with musical elements
from our Western world .
The last song on the album is
titled appropriady Z. Here, Belew
uses a unique idea which is to
combine all of the elements of
each previous song into one composition. This is all played over
a recording of a household conversation with his wife.
This album is an example of someone using music as an art in
modern context rather than using
music for commercial value. If
the potential buyer is interested
in modern music , this album
could be a good listening experience. Otherwise one may find
the album difficult hard to
swallow.

into perspective, especially when
your world revolved around the
uncertainties of day-to-day
experiences.
But today, those activities seem
very distant , as the years roll on
by.
Daily routine takes over for
those uncertainties, and that spark
of occasional enlightenment
seems to dwindle.
When you 're 16, 18, and finally 21 , the milestone years are
finally over , and the aging process starts to speed up, leaving
youth behind.
Spring Break is then , for
seniors, a kind of "last gasp"
milestone before graduation and
that initiation into the regimented
working world .
As a senior , and feeling the
pressures that the media , beer
advertisers , and filmmakers place
upon the importance of this activity , I feel a little sad that I'm
not making the sojourn down to
points South to engage in a little
social intercourse.
But I am not one to abide by
milestones as a yardstick of my
life.
The fact that I and others like
me will be graduating from this
University is reminder enough .
Ruminating on the subject
makes the years fly by even
faster , and I know that I'll look
back on these days and remember
the good times that I've had , not
dwell on the times I've missed .
So to those of you who will be
heading out for those warmer
areas , whether they be here or
abroad , try to enjoy yourselves
and not think too much about the
future .
It will be here soon enough .

Censorship

From page 4
Theologians have argued about
less.

If the raters goof , as they may
or may not have done in the matter of the 10 seconds excised from
Angel Heart , an appeals procedure exists that takes the matter out of the hands of the raters .
Even if one argues that the ratings
are a form of censorship in fact
if not theory, the consequences
can be avoided , as in true legal
censorship they cannot.

Budweiser is sponsoring
various Spring Break events in
Florida and Texas, from concerts
to snow skiing in Miami. The activities run from March 17-27.

Spring sports around the corner
The date is March 12 and
spring sports are just around
the corner. That means that
very soon the baseball, softball ,
men 's and women's track
teams as well as the men's and
women's tennis teams will very
soon begin to compete in their
respective conferences .
The baseball team will play
their first game on Wednesday
of spring break against
Misericordia at Nelson.

The softball team, coached by
Jan Hutchinson who also coached the highly compettitive field
hockey team, will begin their
season on the 28th of March
against VCU down in Virginia.

The men 's and women 's
track teams will be opening
their seasons against Susquehanna University on March
28th also as they take on SU at
Susquehanna.

The women's tennis team will
start inter-conference competition March 25th against the
Owls
of
Temple
in
Philadelphia.
The men's tennis team, under
the tutelage of coach Burt
Reese, will be opening their
season with a tour of six colleges
in the same number of days.
For more on the trip, see the
article on page eight.

After several years of intense study, a lot of college graduates
finally learn something. They're not qualified for the job 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-economicgroup. You don't need to be a straight "A"
student either.
All you really need to be, is smart enough to leave school.

GO'Op Education
You earn a future when you earn a degree.

Off the Connelly makes PSAC first team
Bench Chronister nets Coach of the Year

by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

This week , the attention
of virtuall y every male in
the United States who has
any interest whatsoever in
sports will be tuned to
Channel 12 , ESPN , for
24-hour coverage of the
NCAA tournament.
This sports editor will be
there for virtuall y every
minute of it. I personall y
guarantee it.
This is my favorite sports
season of the year because
of the hi gh excitement , tension , and the possible
chance to witness yet
another 'Cinderella ' team
stun the country .
You all remember the
year 1985 , when a little
team from Pennsy lvania
(NO, not Bloomsburg !), the
Villanova Wildcats , upset
the basketball world by
beating Georgetown in the
finals for the championship.
Just two years before that
in 1983, the glass slipper fit
the feet of Jimmy Valvano
and the Wolf pack of North
Carolina State as they
upended the Houston
Cougars in the finals.
Just last year , it seemed
the role would be repeated
by yet another unknown
team , the Cleveland State
Vikings , as they advanced
to the Final 16 before being
eliminated . This included a
stunning first round victory
over Indiana.
So who will it be this
year? Which team will pull
off the first upset , and then
another , and then possibly
another?
Will it be Bucknell
beating Georgetown and
then Clemson?
Or will it be Fairfield
stunning Indiana , then
beating Auburn , then upsetting Duke?
It could even be that Ivy
League powerhouse , the
University of Pennsy lvania.
Imag ine the face of Dean
Smith (not to mention Lefty Urenko 's) if the Tar
Heels lost to the Quakers .
But I doubt it will be any
of these. All three haven 't
showed any promise at all
this season. The true
'Cinderella ' team is one that
had a decent year, played
some quality competition ,
and just never got the
respect it deserved.
So this year , I am going
to pick my two 'Cinderella '
teams who have not gotten
the respect they deserved.
Marist and Northeastern
So you ask why? I ask
back, "Why not?" The Red
Foxes of Marist are 20-9
and have been practically
unbeatable since late
January .
As for Northeastern , they
started off the year great by
beating Louisville and ended up with a second place
finish in the Great Alaska
Shootout. Recently, they 've
won 22 of their past 23
games to push their record
to 24-6.
"That 's why. "
And now , before I close
out and begin packing for
Spring Break , I will give
you my picks for who will
probabl y
win
the
tournament.
Right now , I can 't see
beating
anybody
Georgetown , so in my
mind , they should win the
tournament. Their opposition in the finals should be
either Virginia or Temple ,
probably the underrated
Owls .
Have a great Spring
Break.

lone unanimous selction , and
Millersville University standout
John Fox earned first team honors
for the fourth consecutive year as
the Pennsylvania Conference annouced its 1987 Eastern and
Western Division all-star units.
Zajicek received the endorsement of all teh PC West coaches ,
the only performer in either division to gain that distinction. He
was joined on the Western Division first team by teammate Dary l
Norfleet.
After the selection of Zajicek ,
the voting was extremely tight for
the remaining positions and caused several ties which led to the
naming of seven players to the
West's top unit. Others chosen by
the coaches were Mike Matthews
and John Sanow of Indiana.

Junior Price and Kevin Charney
of Lock Haven and Slippery
Rock' s Herman Willis.
The Edinboro duo of Tom
Taylor and Jose Davis topped the
second team picks. Joining them
were Dave Timko of Sli ppery
Rock and Lock Haven 's Jeff
Null. California 's Joe Miller and
Mike Bertness of Indiana were
accorded honorable mention
recognition.
Fox was named as a member
of the PC East squad for the
fourth consecutive season , and
his teammate, Andrew Marshall ,
was also one of the five first team
choices in the division.
Clarence Green of Cheyney,
Bloomsburg 's Bill Connell y and
Brian White of Mansfield rounded out the Eastern Division first
team.
A trio of Kutztown players ,

Marty Eggleston , Butch Hills and
Maurice Williams , made up part
of the second team , while
conference-champion Millersville
was represented by Claude
Hughes. Steve Korr of Shippensburg was the final member

The next day , the 20th , finds
them at Old Dominion University for their fourth consecutive
match in as many days.
From there they travel to Navy
on the 21st to take on the
Midshi pmen.
They then close out the road
trip with a match at the University of Penn on Sunday . March
22nd .
After returning home they get
a well-deserved rest of one day
before they open their Pennsy lvania State Athletic Conference schedule with a home
match against Eastern rival West
Chester.
The trip should give alot of the
players a chance to play out some
of the kinks in their games and
give match experience to the
younger members of the tennis
team.
Althoug h the team isn 't expected to beat many of these Divi-

sion I schools in the match competition , the Division II Huskies
will certainl y expect to win
numerous individual matches on
the tour.

As every teenage and adult
male in the country who has access to a newspaper knows , the
NCAA post-season tournament
beg ins this week as the 64 teams
entered vie for a chance to play
in the finals in New Orleans.
In every newspaper, the Voice,
not excepted , you can find all of
the sportswriters making predictions about who will win and who
will play the role of 'Cinderella , '

Carolina Tarheels , to qualif y for
the field , while one team didn 't
get the automatic bid.
Memphis State was the unlucky
team that won their conference ,
and in doing so eliminating last
years champions , the Louisille
Cardinals, but was not invited to
the NCAA tournament. They
were ineligible to go because they
are on probation for pointshaving a few years ago.
The four regions looked equally paired . The East region looks

like it will come down to a' matchup between North Carolina and
Syracuse.
Althoug h I do like the Boilermakers of Purdue to upend the
Orangemen , the game is being
played in the Carrierdome. It
seems very unfair that the
Syracuse should get to play in
their own building. They should
have been put in a different
region so that no team would
have an unfair advantage of playing on their home court .
The Southeast will come down
to Georgetown , the number one

seed , and Illinois. You may laugh
if you wish , but Bobby Knight
and his Fightin ' Illini will pull it
out.
Indiana , who finished the
season 24-4 although playing in
the Big 10, definitely the toughest
conference in the country , will
probably do battle with the
number two seed in the Midwest,
the Temple Owls , who posted
and impressive 31-3 record .
The West has the number one

Some teams were fortunate to

A kid follows in his mom s footsteps

by Scott Ostler

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Casey Candaele is a rookie infielder for the Montreal Expos.
When Casey was little - wait he
is little. When Casey Candaelewas a kid , his older brothers
would knock him around and
rough him up in games of street
football and he would rush into
the house in tears .
His mom would scoot him back
out the door , back to the fray .
"It 's not that he was insensitive," Candaele says. "She just
wanted me to learn that you can't
always cry . She 's helped me all
along. She knows what it 's like
to play hurt , to struggle , to go into slumps. She 's been there. "
Been where? In the big leagues.
Bob Boone , Dick Schofield ,
Cal Ripken, Danny Tartabull and
Ozzie Virgell are big leaguers
whose dads were, too. But Casey
Candaele - pronounced can-dell
- is the first major leaguer whose
mother was a bi g league baseball
player.

When America 's men went to
war in the early 1940's, owner
P.K. Wrig ley of the Chicago
Cubs filled the baseball void by
creating a national women 's softball league. It soon evolved into
full scale hardball , All-American
Girls Baseball League , with
teams throughout the Midwest.
They played eight games a week ,
115 a season. The league lasted
rom 1943 to '54 and drew a
million fans a year.

The players were sent to a
mandatory charm school. They
wore makeup and were forbidden
to drink or smoke. On the field
they wore sexy little cheerleadertype skirts . They also wore
regular baseball spikes , ran the
bases like Pete Rose and
developed a number of truly
talented stars .
Helen Callaghan was one. A
p int-sized (5 feet 1 inches, 105
pounds) teen-ager from Canada ,
Helen signed with the Minneapolis Millerettes in '45. She
also played for the Minneapolis

Orphans , a travelling team that
continued after the original franchise folded; the Fort Wayne
Daisies and the Kenosha Comets.
Helen was soft-spoken but intense and aggressive. She played
center field and hit with power
and authority. One old newspaper
clip refers to her as "a feminine
Ted Williams. "
Helen retired after four seasons
in the league , to get married and
have children. She had five, the
last of whom was Casey . From
her , Casey inherited his stature
(5-8, 160) and his attitude.

"He was always small and
skinny, " says Helen St. Aubin
(she remarried) . "I didn 't think
he'd ever be a great star in sports.
It never entered my mind. But my
sons have always loved sports ,
and I knew if Casey wanted to be
good , he would have to be
agressive. I don 't mean being
able to whip other kids , but being tough within himself. "
Casey 's dad left the family , in
Lompoc, CA , when Casey was

getting to be of Little League age.
So mom would take her youngest
son to the park regularly , play
catch with him , hit him fungoes ,
teach him fundamentals , show
him the little tricks of the trade.
She did it patiently and quielty ,
in her tiny, sparrow-like voice.
"I just thought everyone 's
mom was out there teaching them
how to play baseball ," Casey
says. "I didn;t know until I was
in high school that she ever
played baseball. She never talked about it. Then she started getting letters about reunions of this
women 's league, and we'd say,
'What ' s this Mom? Softball?'
Then she told us about it.
"I' m really proud of it. A lot
of guys I played ball with , their
dads played pro ball. I tell them
my mom played , too. They go ,
'What , softball?' "
Casey 's mom was a star in the
women 's league, earning as much
as $125 a week. She 's one of the
featured players in a half-hour
documentary , "A League of

favored to advance to the Final
Four , but they will have to get by
Iowa, or possibly Pittsburgh first.
I still beleive that UNLV will pull
it out.
So the Final Four will look like
this , Indiana , coached by one of
the best , Mr. Knight , will face
UNLV , a team with a very
deceiving record , due to the weak
schedule that they play . Steve
Alford and the Hoosiers will win
this one for Bobby.
The other side of the bracket
will see the boys fro m Chapel
Hill facing , contrary to poplar
belief , the Fightin ' Illini (there is
always a Cinderella team) and you
know who is going ot win this
one.
The National Championship, to
be played March 30th in New
Orleans will feature a classic confrontation of Bobby Knight Dean Smith , Indiana - North
Carolina and Steve Alford - Jeff
Lebo. What a game this is going
to be!
Ron , Tom , Rich and Dave , you
are going ot love this pick ,
although they always seem to
blow it when it counts , I'm picking the Tarheels of North
Carolina as the 1987 NCAA
Champions.
