Bloomsburg , the only town in
Pennsy lvania , is on the maps of
the United States mostly because
of Bloomsburg University. Along
with fame , the approximately
6000 students of BU have brought
some problems to the quiet little
town of North-East Pennsylvania.
"Two are the major factors :
noise and vandalism ," Larry
Smith , chief of the Bloomsburg
Police Department , said referring
to the comp laints he and his office receive on a daily basis from
the town 's citizens. "
When asked about the investigations on the latest act of
vandalism against Dr. Harasym 's
office on Sesame Street , Chief
Smith said , "Let 's put it this way,
if I was a betting man I'd bet on
the students . "
Smith exp lains that the
closeness of the vandalized office
to the path which connects
Sesame Street with the university campus and the fact that when
the university is closed for breaks
no vandalism acts are registered ,
clearl y point toward the student
bod v.
"The worst thing is that all the
cases are alcohol-related , these
incidents do not occur during
events where alcohol is banned ,
like the Homecoming Bonfire ,"
Smith said. "I've never known of
a sober kid walking over cars
parked along the street , " he
added.
About parties in which
al ;oholic beverages are the main
attraction , Smith said , "All the
fraternities , sororities and other
places where parties are regularly held are play ing Russian
Roulette with four bullets in the

gun." Smith explains that nothing
will change until a serious incident occurs .
Smith said he believes students
"must gain common sense" and
learn to ' 'police their peers. '' He
also revealed that vandalism is
not the only reason for concern ,
"reports of rapes and beatings are
not rare. "
Smith , who has been in
Bloomsburg for 19 years and who
has been chief of the local police
department since 1979, also expressed his fear for the tragic
possibility that some local citizen,
tired of being the target of vandals , would "lose their minds"
and react violently.

' 'More responsibility must be
given to the students , " Smith
said. He suggested that students
should be the object of much
heavier punishments. "If you
(students) are arrested for vandalism, under-age drinking or any
other charge , you (student)
should be kicked out o school ,"
Smith said.
He also said that landlords
should immediately "put the
students on the street " if parties
with alcoholic beverages are held
in their houses. "Somebody must
have the courage to do it," Smith
said.
Smith explained that local
police departments cannot do
more than what they are doing.
"New laws and more enforcements must come from the
leg islators. The new governor
(Robert Casey) can help it ,"
Smith said.
Smith also believes that the
problems caused by the students
are an obvious consequence of the
"easy way of life" most of today 's teenagers experience. He
also added that most of the pro-

blems could be eliminated by putting heavier responsibilties on the
shoulders of students. "
"When I went to school , with
mandatory classes and need to
work, I couldn 't afford to go out
and drink ," Smith said .

Students
have say
in menu
by J. Barbush
Staff Writer

Students with menu concerns
about the Scranton Commons
should contact a special 7 to 10
member student group called the
Food Service Club.
The Food Service Club is composed of 1 Resident Advisor from
each dorm, as well as, anyone interested in the club.
The basic of the club is to act
as a liason between students and
management to try and solve any
problems students may have, in
addition to , planning special
events .
The club speaks with students
about what they like and dislike
about service and menu.
Bill Koch , student director of
Schuylkill and chairman of the
club , explains ,"If there is a complaint , you should tell the
managers or the workers about
the problem so that it can be
changed. Most people will just
complain to their friends , which
gets them nowhere.
Some of the past events set up
by the Food Service Club include: Steak ni ght , Fast Food
night , and chopped ham at the
salad bar.

Students view USA/USSR Spacebridge via satellite

by Sharon Getty
for The Voice

The USA/USSR Spacebridge
together
faculty
broug ht
members, students , and the local
media in the Forum Room in the
McCormick building
The discussion , viewed at
Bloomsburg University on April
8, focused on "The Role of the
Media in Current Relations. "
The two-hour Spacebridge program, which was designed by the
Center for Communication, Inc.,
originated simultaneously from
the Masonic Auditorium in San
Fransico , the sight of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors (ASNE) convention , and
a broadcast television studio in
Moscow.
This
spacebridge
teleconference on Print and
Broadcast journalism was the first
of its kind to have audiences in
multiple interactive locations.
Two additional studios in
Boston , Massachussetts, and
Tblisi , the capitol of the Soviet
State of Georgia , were connected
by fully interactive , live satellite
transmissions.
Bloomsburg University was
among over 50 American universities that had the opportunity to
view the Spacebridge event from
a satellite downlink facility, with
only Penn State as the other Pennsylvania university involved in
the event .
According to James Tomlinson, associate professor and
Chairman of Communication
Studies at Bloomsburg, this was
BU' s first attempt to utilize
satellite communication for
educational purposes.
The San Fransico-Moscow
teleconference was headed in the
US by ABC World News Tonight
anchor and senior editor Peter

Jennings, and in the USSR by
Soviet State Television and Radio
commentator Vladimir Pozner.

Among the American print and
broadcasting journalists that comprised the San Fransico panel
were: Seymour Topping , director of editorial development and
former managing editor of the
New York Times; Stuart Loory,
senior coorespondent and former
Moscow bureau chief of the
Cable News Network (CNN);
and Elizabeth Tucker, a staff
writer for the Washington Post.
Members of the Soviet news
media participating from the
Moscow studio included: Alexander Shalnev , a commentator
from
Izvestia;
Yurii
Tschekochikhin , a staff writer for
the Literary Gazette and Tengiz
Sulkhanishvilly, a TV correspondent who appeared via satellite
from the interactive Tblisi site.
"I' m always distressed by how
little we in this nation know about
how the Soviet press really
operates. I can only assume that
a similar situation exists among
our counterparts in the USSR ,"
suited Jennings. "Because we in
the media play such a powerful
role in helping to influence public
opinion , this open dialogue,
which goes beyond party lines,
can only make a contribution. "
A great majority of the
USA/USSR
Spacebridge
teleconference was dedicated to
the discussion of the recent attempts to "open" Soviet society .
"Glasnot," the Soviet policy
designed to initiate "openness"
in the Soviet society is also providing greater freedom for Soviet
journalists .
"We have succeeded in being
silent in a very professional
way ," said Sulkhanishvilly,
"now we are learning to be heard
in a professional way ."

Editorial comment appearing in
the Soviet newspapers has , traditionally, criticized only domestic
matters. The question was raised by the US media panel as to
whether there will be a move to
comment on broader subjects.

"There are no forbidden subjects," said Pozner in response to
the US panel 's question , "and
nobody in our society is free from
criticism."
Other topics discussed during
the teleconference included: The
role of the media in current relations with regard to the types of
investigative journalism practiced by both countries; The overall
role of the media in US and
Soviet relations: and the

stereotypes each country has of
its counterpart.

"In the Soviet Union , the
public does not believe the
stereotypes of the Americans.
They know that this country is
different , " said Loory . "The
Americans, however, believe the
stereotypes about the Soviets that
they receive in the media , and I
believe that something has to be
done about it. "
Commenting on US and Soviet
stereotypes , Tucker said , "Fundamentally, we (Americans)
believe that yours has been a closed society for a long time. Once
your country opens up more,
most of our stereotypes will be
dispelled. "

According to Tucker, news and
a clear and understandable view
of Soviet life are not abundant in
the textbooks of the US schools,
which Tucker claims only helps
to perpetuate the American ignorance of the Soviet lifestyle.

In light of the recent changes
in policy occurring in the Soviet
Union , Topping said , "I think ,
on the whole, that the American
press is eager to take a fresh , new
look at the Soviet press. "
Audience members who participated in the teleconference
directed their questions which
pertained to current US/Soviet
relations to panel members, and
audience counterparts. Among
the subjects raised were 'Irangate'

and the US Embassy controversy .
According to Jennings , the
US/USSR
Spacebrid ge
teleconferences will be broadcast
in the US on a public broadcast
station.
Pozner , Jennings ' Soviet
counterpart, stated that an edited
version of the two-hour program
will be seen on Gosteleradio ,
which Pozner claims has a viewing audience of close to two
million people.
Following the teleconference ,
John Maittlen-Harris, Chairman
of Mass Communications said, "I
thought that the US/USSR
Spacebridge was very interesting.
It was a good attempt to compare
the two svstems."

Put blame where it belongs

Editor:
Throug hout the year , I have
listened to the population of
Bloomsburg,
including
Bloomsburg University students,
staff , and faculty , argue over the
parking problem here at BU. The
more I hear, the more convinced
I become that there is no problem
with the space provided for
parking.
The cause of this dilemma appears to be cvervone who parks
at BU.
The University has parking
f a c i l i t i e s at the T r i - L e v e l .
Bloomsburg Hosp ital parking lot.
and around McCormick. How
can all this space not be enoug h?
Point one: the space is not
enoug h because students do not
want to follow the rules of this
campus. Freshman students are
instructed
not
to
bring
automobiles to the campus and
not to bring them to Bloomsburg.
vet thev do *
Since these freshmen do break
the university rule , they can not
legall y park their cars in the BU
parking facilities. So. much to the
understandable dissatisfaction of
Bloomsburg residents , freshmen
park their cars on the street.
Point 2: off-campus students
who live near campus drive to
classes, even on warm , sunny
days. This is not against university rules , but it should be. No
capable, health y BU student
should have any trouble walking
7 to 9 minutes from his or her
house to a class a half mile away .
Point 3: Students who have a
leg itamate reason for driving to

BU seem to be lazy. The object
of the "driving game " here at
BU seems to be to determine
which students can park closest
to their classrooms. This "driving game " creates problems between students and staff . No one
wants to have to walk that extra
few minutes to class.
Point 4: faculty should have the
ri g ht to park closer to the
buildings than students. The
students are basicall y in good
health , while many faculty
members are older , more
vunerable to the cold , in less
cardio-vascular health , and
weaker. True, many faculty
members appea r health y, but age
does take it ' s toll.
Point 5: a proposal has been
suggested involving resident
parking stickers . This proposal
called for Bloomsburg residents
to pay annuall y for a sticker to
p lace on their vehicles. Only cars
with these stickers would be permitted to park along streets in
town.
This proposal should be put in
the same graveyard as Dr. Parish' s pathetic proposal. Why
should
the
residents
of
Bloomsburg pay to park cars in
their own town? Bloomsburg
University created the problem ,
Bloomsburg University should
pay to correct it.
So, here is my proposal to correct the parking problem at BU:
1. BU Students should learn to
obey the rules.
2. Students within a certain
distance from campus should be
forbidden from d r i v i n g to

campus.
3. Students and faculty should
stop competing in the' "driving
game ".
4. Faculty should be allowed to
park closer to the buildings than
students, except in the case of a
student who is handicapped.
5. If everyone would learn to be
courteous and follow rules , no
one would have to pay to correct
a problem , especially a problem
which does not exist.

Contra commenta ry a blatant distortion
Editor:
Afte r reading Mr. Mellon 's
unbelievably uninformed commentary on Thursday, I felt obliged to
answer it because of the blatant
distortions that it contains.
Unfortunately, the people who
formulate U.S. foreign policy are
of the same persuasion as the
writer of Thursday 's article. I say
unfortunately because I think that
the long-term repercussions of
these policies will be quite
disastrous for this country.
Mr. Mellon is obviously quite
ignorant of the historical context of
Central America. He can tell us
how many tanks, planes, soldiers
and helicopters the Sandinistas
have, but I wonder if he could tell
us how many Indians , subsistence
farmers, priests, students , school
teachers , doctors, labor organizers
and
children
have
been
systematically tortured and
murdered in Central America during the past 20 years.
The critical pieces of information that are missing from his commentary are precisely those which
will enable us to understand the

by Paul Mellon
Guest Columnist
We are in the midst of the
longest economic recovery on
record . There are more people
employed than ever before , including 13 million new jobs since
1980. Inflation is practically nonexistent and Wall Street is enjoying one of the most protracted and
powerful "Bull" markets ever as
the Dow has smashed the 2000
mark.
Yet ask someone how the
economy is doing and you will
undoubtedl y hear how the
"deficit is too hi gh. " This is
usually attributed to policies of
the Reagan administration.
I believe a major reason for the
perception of the "Reagan
Deficit '" is due largely to
Democrats who portray Reagan
expenditures on defense as
wasteful.
Well , recent actions by Congress seem to paint a different
picture . On April 2, Congress
decided to fix some roads around
the country and to this noble purpose they allocated $88 billion.

true nature of conflict in Latin and
Central America and the rest of the
developing world.
From
his
ethnocentric ,
simplistic point of view, Nicaragua
is merely another example of
Soviet expansionism. What our
have
never
policy-makers
understood or wanted to understand is that people do not just wake
up one morning and decide to have
an armed insurrection to create a
Marxist-Leninist state.
On an ideological , abstract
level , the Third World's enthusiasm for Marxist ideology may
be exp lained as the result of a long
history of colonization and exp loitation by the North , not to be
read Olive r North.
However , on the human level ,
the issues are much more concrete.
Please imagine , if you will , that
you live in a country that is halfowned by one man , Anastasio
Somoza , (not Anatoli Somoza as
Mr. Mellon has written). Your
family is miserably poor and the
money that your father earns is not
enough to feed all.
The children too must work to

survive . The illiteracy rate in your
country is among the highest in the
world , something of course that
you don 't know because you cannot read or write, either.
All attempts to better your lot
throug h peaceful demonstration
are met with the most cruel
repression.
I won't bother to cite the
statistics here, but I can assure the
reader that he or she could easily
spend the better part of a year
looking through the seemingly
endless number of books compiled by international relief organizations which photographically
document the thousands of bodies
that have been charred and
mutilated by Central American
death squads.
BUT, perhaps these are all still
abstractions. I didn 't understand
fully until I met an 18-year-old
Nicaraguan fleeing from his wartorn country. Edwin told me how
his father had been shot and his
mother gang-raped by Somoza s
National Guard in front of his very
eyes when he was ten. They
returned a year later and murdered

Reagan had vetoed the bill but
with election time clearly on their
minds , the members of Congress
overrode the President and doled out the "pork " to congressional districts everywhere .
Congress pulled a similar stunt
earlier this year by overriding a
Reagan veto and passing a
massive $10 billion plus Water
Works bill. And to congratulate
themselves on a job well done ,
Congress gave themselves a
$12 , 100 raise that took effect
most appropriatel y on April
Fool's day .
Ah , but what of the deficit you
ask. Fear not , for Congress did
see fit to cut some unnecessary
spending on such trivial thing s as
national security .
Reagan had asked for $5 billion
to fund research on the Strategic
Defense Initiative , about $83

billion less than Congress just
spent on road repairs. But Congress obviously believes this is
entirely too much to spend on
defending America from nuclear
destruction.
The House Armed Services
Committee cut Reagan 's request
by $1.8 billion. At least Mikhail
Gorbachev will be happy. He 's
been try ing to kill SDI for years.
Now Congress would like to save
him the trouble. Too bad Gorbachev does not believe in God
because he probably would have
thanked Him last week.

Editor:
This letter is directed to the
faculty, staff and student body of
Bloomsburg University .
I write this letter in response to
all the letters that have been
published in The Voice about the
parking problem. I am a student
at this university and know that
there is a problem.
But every time that a possible
solution is proposed , somebody
always finds fault with it and absolutely nothing gets done. Dr.
Parrish came up with a policy,
which I agree, looks like it
benefits the existing status quo
and only brings up more problems. But at least someone is
trying to come up with a solution.
Give Dr. Parrish some credit
for his attempt. No one else has
even tried to do it.
Now , I ask you for some input.
I am on the CGA ad hoc committee that is going to try to come up
with a parking proposal that is
fair to all the people that are
involved .
To do this , we need ideas from
not only students, but from faculty and staff. We want to make a
policy which will be beneficial

and fair to everyone and just not
one group.
We have a hard task ahead of
us and the only way that we will
get a solution is if we get your
ideas and opinions on the subject.
Don 't criticize what you yourself
can not make better.

The point is that if Congress is
going to pan every multi-billion
dollar domestic spending bill that
comes down the pike , then
America mi ght as well resign
itself to huge , permanent deficits.
So far , the only proposal of-

his mother. (She must have been
a subversive!)
Edwin then did what I think any
normal human being would have
done. He went to the mountains at
the age of 13 and spent his
adolescence killing and watching
those around him die.
The depths of human anguish in
Central America are incomprehensible to us and cannot be reduced
to
simplistic
ideolog ical
arguments. I am sure that , faced
with a similar situation , Mr.
Mellon would also have taken to
arms to change the desperate situation of his society.
Now, it so happens that the
United States of America unconditionally supported Somoza with
money and military aid since it
began in the 1930's. Oppressed
people who are desperate do not
question the motives of those who
provide them with arms. I doubt
if the American insurrectionists
questioned Lafayette's or Baron
von Steuben's motives during the
War for Independence.

fered to balance the budget has
come from Democratic Speaker
of the House Jim Wri ght , who
wants to raise taxes.
The Democrats have been
booted out of power for six years
partl y due to their tax-spending
philosophy. I guess some people
never learn.
America does not need hi gher
taxes . It needs responsible
legislators to pass realistic, effective legislation. Lately that 's been
sorely missing .
Even with the sting ing override
Reagan has vowed to keep vetoing wasteful congressional spending and has insisted no new
taxes for the American people
while he is President. As Reagan
recently said , quoting a poem , T

rest awhile. But I will rise and
fight again. '

Lecturer discusses
p ornography 's evils
with students at BU

Compa ny
returnsto
campus

by Chip Gaydos

by Lyn Haak

Staff Writer

Staff Writer

The Second City National
Touring Company , which had
previousl y performed in Haas
Auditorium this past fall , returned
Thursday nig ht with a show that
outdid the first and kept the
crowd , which Filled a majority of
the 15,500 seats , laughing for the
entire two hours of the program.
The touring company comprises only a small part of Second
City, which is located in Chicago.
There , at the company ' s .two
stage theatre , all of the skits are
created and shows are performed by more seasoned members.
According to cast member Will
Clinger . the touring company is
"the minor leagues where we
spend one to seven years traveling around the country performing. " Before auditioning and
becoming members of Second City , the cast members had extensive training in imrovosation.
The current touring members
of Second City are Will Clinger .
Judith Scott. Christina Dunne.
Jeremy Piven. Evan Gore , and
Sean Masterson. Laura Wasserman serves as pianist and musical
director , and John Holtson is the
stage manager.
This talented group of outgoing young actors, armed with only six red chairs as props and a
minimal supp ly of costumes,
combined acting with a little song
and dance. The results were
humorous satires of many con-

It 's a 10 billion dollar a year
business , most people have viewed it or at least have had some
brush with it in the past. What is
it? Pornography, and it is rapidly becoming a growing concern
with people. Pornography has
become such a growing concern
that Thursday night a lecture and
film were given at BU.
A short discussion on pornography was followed by a film
titled Not A Love Story that showed pornography and its affect on
people , especially women. The
movie showed women who were
a part of the porn industry being
interviewed. During the interview , most of them said they saw
nothing wrong with what they
did.
But one woman , who at the
start of the interview had said that
it did not bother her that her lover
and her made love in front of people , changed her mind and
couldn 't believe what she had
done. Most of the women involved feel this way . They are stuck
in a position in life. The main
purpose of the movie tried to
show how pornography degraded these women.
A bad thing about the movie
was in the way that it talked about
the men who view pornography.
One woman said that she believed that women have an inner rage
about society in them , and men
had an inner shame about their
feeling to dehumanize women.
This is an incorrect generaliza-

temporary and moral issues.
Reli g ion , music , drugs, sex,
infidelity , marriage , homosexuality , and government served as
the basis for skits which lasted
anywhere from 30 seconds to
several minutes.
The show began with the cast
members entering an imag inary
elevator. Then , one man began
humming until he eventually went
into a hardy rendition of Tlie Sta r
Spang led Banner.
Other skits such as a medical
checklist being completed before
p icking someone up in a sing le 's
bar and a skit where a man came

Squeale r s Corner

home to find his lover (who was
a male) in the arms of a woman
kept the audience in stitches.
Of course Second City could
not resist the opportunity to poke
fun at President Reagan with the
recent Iran weapons scandle and
the American hostages being held
in the Middle East. A commercial for selling hostanges and offering financing had the audience
screaming for more .
After a brief 15 minute intermission , the cast returned with
several improvosational skits.
Suggestions fro m the audience
were used.

In the grand finale , the cast
members doped black robes (the
type worn by judges) and , calling themselves "The Supremes ",
performed a politicall y oriented
musical number.
As the li ght came on , and the
actors took their bows, the air filled with the murmurs of "I loved
it! It was great. "
The members of Second City
mentioned that Bloomsburg
University is one of their favorite
stops , and the students are a great
audience . The Second City cast
looks forward to returning to BU
f or another performance next fall.

tion , since as a male I feel no
shame because I have no need to
dehumanize anyone, male as well
as female . That blatant statement
was the only real downfall to an
otherwise interesting film.
The speaker after the film was
Melissa Dyas. Dyas goes around
the country speaking out against
pornograp hy and the damage it
does to women. After the film ,
she tried to conduct a discussion
with the audience , but because of
the group being so large , many
felt inhibited because of the subject matter. This led to a lack of
partici pation .
Throug hout the discussion , it
was stressed that eroticism is a
natural part of our sexuality ,
While pornography hn \ The difference between the two is erotica
shared by two people with love
and pornography is a demeaning
acion to another , usually through
violence for perverse pleasure.
I left the talk knowing more
and being more aware of pornography in this country. Some
other points broug ht out about
pornography were:
There are four times as many
"sex emporiums " as there are
McDonald's.
Six of the 10 most profitable
news stand magazines are male
entertainment magazines. The
combined circulation of Playboy
and Penthouse is greater than that
of Time or Newsweek .
Eight out of 10 people who purchase child pornography abuse
children.

Break open those piggy banks

Dave Burian
For those of you who are planning to move off campus in the
near future and head to the domain of beautifu l downtown
Bloomsburg. get ready to break
open those p iggybanks.
Because the pli ght of the college student ' s parking problems
on campus continue after the student has reached the age when
he/she must leave the grounds of
the University and seek shelter
elsewhere .
The parking problem off campus in the downtown area is a

y ^m

result of having to purchase a
parking permit.
This permit costs S18 for three
months, while parking permits on
campus are given gratis.
For that SI8 . you are given a

dashboard , and it had better be
visible.
Otherwise , no matter how
familiar your car is to the meter
maids or officers that write up
tickets , you will receive a happy
little envelope denoting that you
owe $2.
Getting a ticket downtown
seems to be related to the
weather , as well.
There have been days that I' ve
gotten two tickets for having
parked in the same space (after
someone brought the ticket to my
apartment , I immediatel y got
another one to replace it on my
windshield) when it was beautiful
outside.
But on other days, when it was
rainy outside , I haven 't had a pro-

blem if I didn 't leave my permit

dashboard.
So , it seems that parking
downtown can 't be too bad if you
can hack the $18.
Not necessaril y.
Since I live near the post office.
I have to fi ght for parking spaces
with those delivering packages.
Another disadvantage is the
nearby Lodges , which often have
meetings at ni ght that overflow
the parking lots and surrounding
areas.
And there has been more than
one time when I' ve been approached by a policeman when
unloading groceries with my
flashers on , because it was impossible to park anywhere else
other than the "No Parking "
zone.
In other words , just because
you pay to park every three
months in a certain area , it
mean
that
you
doesn ' t
automaticall y get your own personalized spot.
But I reall y can 't complain that
much , as a parking ticket
downtown is only $2 , when any
infraction on campus will run you
$5.
But we make our money
anyway we can , right , folks? "

When asked about what influences their music , Warner
replied , "I have such a total of
influences I couldn 't even begin
to name them...we all like different bands. "
This was definitely apparent
during their performance .
Besides play ing their own
original songs such as Thinking
of You , Don 't Walk Away f in
Love and Too Late to Fall in
Love , they played a wide variety
of songs by other artists such as

The Hooters, The Cars, REO
Speed Wagon , Bon Jovi and ZZ
Top.
Yarmey explained how the
band got its start. According to
Yarmey Bloomsburg University
had a hand in it. A group of girls
at the university were some of the
first people to hear their hit song,
Where are you now?, which was
played with incredible reception
from the crowd on Friday .
The band has many ties to this
area. As Warner put it , "We
form a perfect circle around
Wilkes-Barrc . In general we
describe ourselves as WilkesBerries "
This band is on the move with
hi gh aspirations. As Warner said ,
"We won 't stop until we have a
number one album. If you 're
gonna do something you go all
the way ."
As of now the band will be doing a lot of recording and a lot of
song writing. They plan to go on
tour soon , concentrating on this
side of the Mississippi , according
to Warner.
Synch has just completed a
documentary video that includes
live footage , interviews with the
band and behind the scene shots.
It is around 40 minutes long .
Synch is riding the wave to success and Bloomsburg University
was lucky enough to get swept up
by the tide during their on campus concert .

There's no place like home
by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor

Every time another semester
comes to an end , I begin th inking of how much I'll miss this
place in the summer.
When I entered Vhis college ,
I remember reading some lines in
my freshman student record that
really sum up how I now feel . It
began , "Your mom will wince
the first time you slip and call college 'home .' You 'll probabl y
wince a little too . But for four
years or so this hill will be home
for you... "
Yes , the college has been my
home since my arrival two years
ago. And they 've been great
years. BU has . offered me an
education , an opportunity . to
broaden my horizons , and gain
countless friendshi ps. But during

Ignorance
From page 2

The lamentable truth is that the
Superpowers are constantl y playing with the lives and destinies of
millions of people in order to win
or maintain their markets, get control of or maintain control of
natu ral resources and to keep access to cheap labor.
Those who brandish the sword
of "Democracy " or "Classless
Society " do not care about the
people in those countries. They
cynically use ideology to wage war
instead of letting the old wounds
heal . The ideologies may be different, but the motives are the
same.
I think that our money would be
much better spent by strengthening the popular agricultural base
of developing countries by forming cooperatives where people can
work, live and learn together
without brainwashing .
The Maryknoll sisters who were
brutally raped and murdered in El
Salvador were carrying out this
type of work. This is a good example of how those who are trying to peacefully change the situation for the better are labelled
"communists" or "subversives"
and then unceremoniously annihilated. Natu rally, we never
found who the guilty parties were.
Latin America naturally identifies with and admires this country in spite of a long history of
neglect , disdain , humiliation and
exploitation. There is still an enormous amount of good-will toward
the people of the United States in
these countries, but their patience
and good faith are wearing very

the summer months , after only so
much fun can be achieved back
in my hometown , I find myself
longing not so much for the college atmosphere, but for the town
of Bloomsburg .
Yes, contrary to popular belief ,
Bloomsburg does have a lot to offer. For those who disagree with
me, take a walk (not meant to
sound like "take a hike budd y "
or "take d flying leap"). Instead
I simply mean venture beyond
Main Street , and you may be
suprised to find that there is a lot
more than a university in
Bloomsburg.
For one thing, for those who
don 't know about or haven 't been
to the town park , try and get there
before you graduate . It offers tennis courts , basketball courts , an
exercise course , a walking path ,
and a beautiful atmosphere for
people to enjoy a day . It 's the
nicest town park that I' ve ever
seen , and the townspeople (better known as 'Townies ' b y
students on campus) should take
pride in their creation.
Or better yet , just walk along
the river and realize the beauty
that surrounds you. Believe it or
not , there 's more to life than trying to find a parking space (Lately

Mr. Mellon should perhaps consider creating a solid economic
base by redistributing the
farmlands that the oligarchies of
these countries have thoughtlessly swallowed up for themselves.
The creation of economic
cooperatives makes people more
self-sufficient , raises their selfesteem and strengthens true
democracy. Latin Americans want
the real thing. They have had
enough of cheap, cynical, halfhearted imitations of democracy
designed to make the consciences
of the industrialized world feel free
of guilt during Sunday's mass.
To support these people in their
legitimate quest for a better life can
only win friends for this country.
This does not mean that one must
defend the Sandinistas in the same
way that Mr. Mellon defends the
Contras, the tattered remains of
Somoza's National Guard.
This means that in the aftermath
of social upheaval, one must help
to rebuild these shattered societies
and understand that there will be
natural power struggles, regardless
of ideology.
Last, I notice a strong note of
paranoia in Mr. Mellon's commentary. "Soon they will be in
Dallas, Texas if we don't stop them
now," he fears. All I can say in
reply is that we have feared the
unknown for too long.
It is time that we dropped the
facade of that toug h guy on the
block and began to approach the
world with less arrogance and
more understanding. The people of
the Third World are not the only
ones who have something to learn .
Arrogance is a terrible, destructive
force that can only make us lose
everything in the end .
I debated a long time about
writing this letter, but finally felt
morally compelled to use the
freedom of speech that I am so fortunate to be able to exercise. I have
also decided
to remain
anonymous.

me, there is) .
The reason I'm writing this
might be because I really enjoy
the outdoors and find Bloomsburg
to be a wonderful haven for the
adventurous type. It has mountains , lots of wild life (by. this I
don 't mean BU students), has
rivers and streams, and can take
your mind of your worries.
Bloomsburg , the only town in
Pennsylvania , does not deserve
the dubbing of 'Hicksville
U.S.A' . The pace here may be a
lot slower than in New York City , but sometimes peace of mind
is better than a p iece of the action .
Althoug h the university is like
home to me now , it 's the Town
of Bloomsburg that g ives me a
sense of belong ing. And afte r the
long summer months are over , 1
will once again realize ju st how
much this little town has to give.

Reflections on the 'fight of the century
from page 8
weeks off to review what happened last night , then make a statement to everyone at the same
time. "
Trainer said Leonard hurt his
right hand and would have it Xrayed after he returned home to
Potomac in Montgomery County, MD. Leonard 's left eye,
which had retinal surgery in
1982, and his right eye, which
underwent a surgical procedure in
1984, were not factors in the
fight , though there was a small
lump under his left eye Tuesday .
Leonard will soon udergo an
eye examination by Dr. Ronald
Michels of Johns Hopkins
University , his personal
ophthalmologist, according to
Trainer.
"Talking to Ray I did not get
the impression he was ready to
get up this morning and do roadwork ," Trainer said. "I have no

indication he 's going to do
anything different than he said he
would - he wanted to come back
and fight Marvin Hagler , one
fight. V
What did Juanita Leonard think
he would do?
"God only knows ," she said.
Leonard 's decision came down
to one of two things : quit while
ahead , advice he had heard many
times before, or fight again ,
either a. rematch with Hagler or
another fi ght against Thomas
Hearns , whom he knocked out in
a 1981 welterweight championship match but who now owns a
li ght heavyweight title.
But this time, the decision must
be made at what appeared to be
a pinnacle of his career that he
could not surpass.
On the other hand , fighters

King 's team had a 417 and
Wilkes shot a 420.
Scott Griffis lead the way for
the Huskies with a 78. Also
shooting 78's were Bill Kahres
and Dan Kelbaugh . Don Lyman
nailed an 82 while John Mulhern
shot an 86.
The golf team's record now
moves to 3-2 after this 2-1 performance at the Wilkes-Barre
Municipal Golf Club in WilkesBarre, Pa.

BU golfers win two

The top three players shot 78's
to lead the Bloomsburg University golf team against Scranton ,
King 's and Wilkes Colleges.
Scranton was able to pull out
a narrow four stroke victory over
the Huskies , while both clubs
managed easy victories over
King 's and Wilkes.
Scranton 's five hit a superb 398
(79 average) to edge the Huskies

simply: "Fighters fight. "
Back in Las Vegas, Hagler also
was a no-show at a press conference , and his trainermanagers , Pat and Goody
Petronelli , were not at all certain
what their man has in mind for
the future. Obviousl y, the
Petronellis would like a rematch.
"We would like it tomorrow , "
Goody Petronelli said.
They were highly critical of the
judges, and particularly Mexican
judge JoJo Guerra , who gave
Leonard 10 rounds and had him
a 118-110 winner. Dave Moretti
scored it 115-113 for Leonard ,
and Lou Fillippo had it 115-113
for Hagler.

"This official here , JoJo
Guerra , should be put in jail ,"
said Pat Petronelli. "He was way
out of order ," Goody Petronelli
said. "He was inept. "
"I thought Leonard outsmarted
him , outhit him and was way
ahead of him ," said Guerra .
Certainly Leonard dominated
fro m the opening bell before
Hagler began to rally in the middle rounds. In the ninth , Hagler
appeared to have Leonard in
some trouble as he landed several
combinations. But Leonard
quickly got his arms up and began
to counterpunch. Hagler won the
round on all three cards , but more
important, Leonard had survived.

When Leonard won the 10th
and 11th rounds , the fi ght was
his. Goody Petronelli knew it too,
telling Hagler , "Get him , you
need this one bad ." Hagler won
the 12th on two of the three cards.
Too little , too late .

Baseballp redictions

6. Atlanta Braves- Atlanta certainly didn 't help themselves by
not re-si gning Bob Horner. But
they did do some good in signing Dion James and Damaso Garcia. Pitching is the big question
mark as only Rick Mahler
(14-18) is the quality pitcher.

So there you have it , all of my
predictions for the season which
just started not only a week ago.
But what good are these predictions if I didn 't give you the
playoffs and World Series teams
in advance, (at no extra charge) .
In the American League, the
Yankees will defeat the Rangers
in six games to earn their World
Series berth.

In the National League, the
Giants will give the Mets a hard
fight , but will fall in seven games
as New York prevails. The Mets
will be led by the pitching of Ron
Darling and the hitting of Darryl
Strawberry .
Finally, in the World Series ,
the Mets will set the Yankees
back in five games to earn their
second consecutive championship. This time, pitcher Bob
Ojeda will be voted the MVP as
he'll win two games.
So there you have it, folks. I
know most of you won't agree ,
being that you 're from Pennsylvania , but I understand , don 't
worry. Have a great season , and
we'll see what happens in the fall.

Injuries slowing baseball 's progress

by Jim Hines

Staff Writer

The Bloomsburg baseball team
had another eventful weekendplay ing Shippensburg and East
Stroudsburg . On Thursday , they
p layed host to the 24th-ranked
team in the nation , Shippensburg.
Shippensburg has an overall
record of 24-4, a record of 6-2
within the conference.
The
firstgame
of
the
doubleheader was pitched by an
outstanding rookie , Dave Robinson , who seems to be filling many
of the gaps caused by the injury
to Steve Sees.
Dave went the distance to pick-

up the 3-1 victory and improve
his record to 3-1 overall and 2-0
in the conference.
In the second game of the
doubleheader , the Huskies ran into many pitching problems. Erik
Peterson started and pitched the
first four innings only to be
relieved in the 4th by Matt
Karshnor.
Matt pitched one inning and
hurt his leg, and so he was replaced by Scott Long . In turn , Long
was relieved by Mike Walmon in
the 7th .
Walmon loaded the bases causing Coach John Baab to replace
him for the last out with Steve

Clemons, the Huskies centerfielder. All of this was to no avail
as BU lost 6-4.
On Saturday , the Huskies were
off to East Stroudsburg to play
another doubleheader.
In the first game, Scott Long
pitched a strong game , but
Bloomsburg stillabsorbed a 5-3
loss.
In the second game, Coach
John Baab went back to the
rookie , Dave Robinson. Dave
took to the mound with only one
day 's rest to pitch an outstanding
3-hitter in seven innings to win
the second game 2-1 for the
Huskies.
The second game with East

Stroudsburg was highlig hted by
many fine , defensive plays by
centerfielder Steve Clemons.
Injuries are taking their toll on
the Bloomsburg p layers with the
loss of Steve Sees and the leg injury of Matt Karshnor , who
should be back Tuesday .
There is an away-game on
Tuesday with Kutztown which
the Huskies need to sweep to get
back into the race.
The Huskies stand right now
with a 10-10 record overall and
4-6 record in the conference. For
all of you fans looking to come
and root your team onto victory ,
the next home game is on Thursday at 1:00 against Millersville.

Lacrosse team defeated Sli ppery

Kutztown 15-13 in overtime on

Slippery Rock , who they outshot
34-28. Both BU' s goalie and
Kutz town 's goalie recorded 16
saves.

Missy Clayton , a senior ,
started the scoring for BU , which
eventually led to their 8-5 advantage at halftime. Sli ppery Rock
scored seven goals in the second
half , but couldn 't match the 11
scored by Bloomsburg .
Offensivel y, the scoring was
spread out. Kelly Cuthbert led the
team with five goals. Deb Fraga
had four goals and one assist.
Other scores came from

Decision time for Leonard
by William Gildea
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Sugar Ray Leonard quietl y
savored the finest moment of his
career Tuesday. Above the
clouds , as he flew home to
Washingto n , it was a time of utter joy and sweet weariness. He
had accomplished what few
beyond those close to him thought
he could . He had defeated
Marvelous Marvin Hagler in the
boxing upset of the decade.
As the first leg of the tri p fro m
Las Vegas neared Dallas , a
beaming Leonard rose from his
first class seat , appeared in the
coach cabin and received a long
and warm round of applause fro m
passengers on American Airlines
Flight 814.
He was wearing a leather
beanie and a red Grambling sweat
shirt , and he moved up and down
the aisles signing autographs , exchanging small talk.
"I' m sore," he said , but clearly he was as happy as he had ever
been.
"I' m still happy, " he said ,
"because it 's nothing new to me
- I knew I was going to do it. "
"It 's just starting to hit him ,
what he did ," said Michael
Trainer , Leonard s attorney . "I
think he 's just beginning to
realize what he accomplished ."
What he had done Monday
nig ht was what he set out to do ,
stick and run , accumulate points ,
flurry on occasion , frustrate
Hagler. Leonard never wavered
from his plan through the 12
rounds of only his second fi ght in
the last five years , and his first
since 1984, in earning a split
decision and the middleweight
title.
"It 's scary what he did ,"
Trainer said.

It was more than simp ly handling Hag ler , as Trainer saw it. It
was doing it with a mind that remained throug hout steely and
clear.
"He can tell you he looked at
people in the audience ," Trainer
said. "He was having fun. It was
a performance , it wasn 't just a
sporting event. "

Seated in the coach was
Leonard 's wife , Juniata , who had
given up her first class seat to
Leonard 's mother , Getha.
How did Juniata Leonard feel?
"Three words , " she said ,
"Good as hell. "
Before the fi ght , she said , "I
thought he 'd have to knock
Hag ler out to win the title. " She

said she believed that if it came
down to a decision it would go to
Hag ler but that it would take such
a great effort on Hagler 's part , it
would be "a great decision. "
As it turned out , she said , "It
proves the judg es are the experts ,
not the media. "
To the inevitable question ,
would he fi ght again , Leonard
would not comment. He had skipped the traditional morning afte r
press conference in Las Vegas. It
would be at least a week , he said ,
before he would call a news conference to announce his plans.
"This is not the best time to
predict what he will do in the
future , " Trainer said in Las
Vegas. "He'll take a couple of

goals and one assist, Chris Scavo,
who also chipped in th ree, and
Chris Pierie who had two goals
fro m the center position. Karen
Rambo , Cindy Daeche, Nancy
Warmerdam , Susan Miller and
Carrie Garrison each had one.
Against Kutztown , BU had a
slow start and was down 6-1 with
three minutes remaining in the
first half. Bloomsburg , however,
came back with five quick goals
to tie it up 6-6 at halftime.
The game was a very aggressive one , with one Kutztown
player being yellow-carded and
later thrown out of the game.
BU once again outshot their opponent 42 shots on goal to 32. In
the first half , Cuthbert scored at
13:58. Scavo and Fraga then
scored two quick goals. Scavo ,
Sweigart and Fraga all scored
with only one minute remaining
in the half. Sweigart was assisted
by Scavo , while Fraga was
assisted b y Cuthbert.
The second half also let to a tie

score of 12-12 , thanks to B u s
goalie Terry Hofstmann who saved a Kutztown penalty shot with
only three seconds left in the half.
Scavo netted one at the four
minute mark , followed by two
from Cuthbert. Lisa Rhodes then
also scored two , one being
assisted by Clayton. Clayton also
hit the cage at 21:10.
BU and KU then battled it out
in overtime, playing three-minute
periods. In the first period ,
Cuthbert scored at 2:33, followed by Fraga who was assisted by
Cindy Daeche at 1:05. KU only
managed to score one goal in
overtime, while BU scored three.
Cuthbert shot in the last goal for
BU at 1:17 in the second period ,
and BU netted the victory 15-13.
BU lost on Saturday to East
Stroudsburg 10-6, having difficulty play ing against zone
defense , but they will be read y
for Millersville on Monday , and
Shippensburg on Tuesday, both
home games.

Lehigh Valley High School AllStar Classic , has ran the 40 in an
amazing 4.4 seconds.
During the spring, the Huskies
play intersquad scrimmages
which keep the players loose and
well tuned for the fall season. The
team cannot play any other
schools during the spring because
it is against NCAA rules.
The spring season is mandatory
for all of the Husky players.
Some of the team members also
participate in track and field
which sometimes interferes with
practices. Coach Adrian excuses
five track and field members on
the team fram practice when they
have a track meet.
Coach Adrian likes the players
that he has to work with and is
very optimistic for a winning
season. The team has a good
nucleus both offensively and
defensively. They lost 14 seniors
from last year 's team but 18 key
members of the team plyed last
year and have had prior ex-

perience on the team.
The key offensive players on
the team that possess excellent
football skills as well as leadership ability are quarterback Jay
DeDea , running back Tom Martin , and offensive tackle Vinn
Ottomaneli.
Both DeDea and Martin will be
playing in their fifth season for
the Huskies.
The tough Husky defense is led
by Dan Shutt , Chris Gross and
Dwane Hettich.

so by winning the division. The
Giants have quality pitching and
hitting, and barring injuries ,
should win going away .
2. Cincinnati Reds- Pete Rose
has a terrific offense led by Dave
Parker and Eric Davis, and decent pitching. The two keys for
the Reds are avoiding last year 's
terrible 6-19 start, and Mario
Soto returning to top form .
3. Houston Astros- The Astros
have the potential to be in the
World Series, but there are some
big question marks. Can Nolan
Ryan return after refusing offseason surgery? Can Glen Davis
hit 31 home runs again in the
Astrodome? These are just a few.
4. San Diego Padres- The Padres
improved themselves significantly for the future with the Kevin
McReynolds trade, picking up
top players such as rookie Stan
Jefferson and third baseman
Kevin Mitchell . This is a

rebuilding year for San Diego ,
but watch out for them in the next
two or three years.
5. Los Angeles Dodgers- One
thing the Dodgers don 't have to
worry about is pitching, but the
other half of the game , hitting is
another story . Pedre Guerrero
must get health y, as well as Bill
Madlock and Mariano Duncan.

The Bloomsburg University
Huskies spring football season
has started as the team is preparing for a successful 1987 season.
Head coach Pete Adrian feels
that the spring season gives him
a great opportunity to evaluate his
new players skills. Also , he said ,
"The spring season gives me the
opportunity to introduce new
defensive and offensive shemes to
the players. " This gives the
p layers the chance to get acquainted with new plays for the
fall season.
The team concentrates on
developing their quickness and
agility in the spring by doing a lot
of sprinting.
"The sprints improve my
quickness which enables me to
make my cuts faster when I am
running patterns , " stated
freshman split end Steph Kern.

Here it is baseball fans, just like
I promised you all , my National
League predictions for the 1987
baseball season.
As a brief re-cap, here are my
predictions as they appeared in
Monday 's edition of the Voice.
In the American League East ,
I think it will be the Yankees taking first , followed by the Blue
Jays, the Red Sox , the Indians ,
the Brewers, the Orioles , and the
Tigers.
In the American League West ,
the Rangers should be on top ,
followed by the Royals , the
Athletics, the Angels, the Twins,
the Mariners , and final ly the
White Sox.
And now , my National League
predictions:
National League. East

1. New York Mets- Originally,
I didn 't think the Mets would
have that much of a chance with
the attitude problems of Darry l
Strawberry and the drug problems of Dwight Gooden , but
check out their play the first couple games of the season.
2. Philadelphia Phillies- The
Phillies have the potential to
knock off the Mets , but I don 't
thnk it will happen this year.
There are just a few too many
question marks with pitching. But
next year, watch out!
3. St. Louis Cardinals- Originally, the Cardinals were my choice
in the NL East , but with the recent crucial injury to newly acquired catcher , Tony Pena , they
will probably drop to third. The
Cards have to regain the hitting
they had in 1985 to make a run
at the Mets and the Phillies.
4. Pittsburgh Pirates- Look for
the Pirates to finally avoid the

cellar and flex at least a little bit
of muscle in the league. Barry
Bonds and Johnny Ray should
come into their own along with
newly acquired p itchers, Doug
Drabek and Brian Fisher.
5. Chicago Cubs- The Cubs improved themselves with the signing of Andre Dawson over the
winter. Their crop of rookie outfielders and p itchers also will be
of help, but not enough to carry
them over the hump in 1987.
6. Montreal Expos- The Expos
have quality players in Tim
Wallach and Hubie Brooks , but
nothing else. There is no way this
team can make up the absences
of Tim Raines , Dawson, and Jeff
Reardon .
National League West
1. San Francisco Grants- Surprise, surprise, surprise. Last
year's showing by the Giants was
not a fluke, and they will prove
