Absences delay vote

Staff Writer

The CGA Senate viewed an
educational film on AIDS and
discussed the draft governance
structure at Monday evening 's
meeting, but was unable to vote
on business items as there were
fewer than the required two-thirds
voting senators in attendance.
The AIDS film was presented
by Elaine Graham , a graduate
student who has been presenting
a program about the disease to
various groups on campus
throughout the semester.
The discussion of the draft
governance structu re surrounded
CGA's concern over the lack of
student representation on several
committees that are part of the
governance structu re.
The governance structu re is a
body that reviews university
policies and procedures and
makes recommendations to the
vice presidents . The structure is
composed of a University Forum,
four standing committees, and the
Planning and Budget Committee.
One senator pointed out that
only four of the eleven voting
members of the Student Life
Committee were students. Regarding the other three standing
committees, the Institutional Advancement Committee allows for
two of its ten members to be
students, the General Administration Committee for two of eight
voting members to be students ,
and the Bloomsburg University
Curriculum Committee provides
for two non-voting undergraduates and one non-voting
graduate students.
Dr. Stewart Nagel , who came
before CGA to explain the draft ,
pointed out that although the
governance bodies are chiefly
composed of faculty and staff ,
they serve primarily in an advisory capacity . He also said that
the administration was hired to

make policy and that it was the
students right to react to those
policies.

Dr. James Lauffer , who also
represented the committee that
developed the draft , said that
equal representation for students
may never happen but that it was
an issue that should be looked at
further.
By the time the senate reached
the finance items on the agenda ,
attendance had dropped to about
25 senators, and items, which require a two-thirds vote, could not
be decided. . Five items of
business , including the CGA
budget for 1987-1988 , had to be
put off until another meeting
could be scheduled .
Several senators voiced their
disappointment over the poor
showing and the weak enforcement of the attendance policy.
Dean Robert Norton mentioned
that low attendance was common

for this time of year.
In other business , VicePresident Ed Gobora reported
that the Ad-Hoc Parking Committee had not had a chance to
meet yet , but that he and Hugh
O'Neill , a CGA Senator , were
going to be involved in an internship with the Parking Committee
and the Bloomsburg Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr. John Scrimgeour , director
of the Counseling Center , told the
Senate about the proposal to hire
a nurse practitioner for the Health
Center to increase care for
students. Scrimgeour asked the
senators to informally poll other
students to see if they would be
willing to pay a moderate increase in the health services fee
in order to have the nurse practitioner for 40 hours a week.
CGA President Tim Keffer
ended the meeting by announcing
that a new CGA van would soon
be purchased and that the Executive Board had voted to renew
the campus lawyer 's contract.

Don McCulloch , director of
the physical plant and energy
management, said , "We are hoping it will be used as new headquarters for the Nelson Field
crew." He added that the proposal has not been made definite .
When purchased , the trailer
will be the fourth located next to
Litwhiler Field. Two trailers are
currently in use, one for the
Training for Information Processing (TIP) program and the other
by the Department of General
Services (DGS). Recently BU
purchased a trailer from PP&L at
a cost of $4,000. This third trailer
will be remodelled and used as
new headquarters for the Army
Reserve Officers Training Corp
(AROTC) . Renovations to the
AROTC trailer will cost around
$17,000.
McCulloch said the new
trailer's exterior will be remodelled similar to the two finished
trailers , but the interior will be
reconstructed to meet the needs
of the occupants. He added that
renovation costs to the trailer
have not been set.

A group of students formed a
women 's coalition , and made a
request for more li ghting in 1985.
One of their concerns was the
protection of students against
rape.
Students must walk through
areas ofthe campus that are dimly
lit in the evening. Throughout the
history of BU , "the amount and
quality of lighting has been a concern ," said BU Vice President oi
Administration Robert Parrish.
"There haven ' t been any
reports of rape on campus in the
last 15 years , '' said Chief of BU
Law Enforcement Ken Weaver.
There have been occurrences
of date rapes , according to
Psychology counselor Shell
Lundahl.
"The Women 's Center in
Bloomsburg has dealt with BU
women who have been raped ,"
said Lundahl. "It 's hard to say
how many victims th ere are
because of the rapes haven 't been
reported , and the Women ' s
Center doesn 't release statistics, "
Lundahl added.
Aquaintance/date rape occurs
in a dating situation. The victim
often questions whether it was in
fact a rape , because the rapist is
known to them.
"The victims often convince
themselves they are to blame, and
therefore do not report the rape ,"

said Lundahl.
Walking in well-lit areas is one
of the suggestions Lundahl
wants people to remember , in
order to protect themselves
against rape
The first step to upgrade
li ghting was introducing hi ghintensity li ghting in front of
Carver Hall a few years
ago.
This hi gh-intensity li ghting
spread to other areas of campus
after a women ' s coalition expressed its concern to Parrish in
1985.
"They requested the removal
of the poorly designed lamps surrounding the tennis courts ," Parrish said . "These bulbs were
shaped like Chinese hats , which
attracted a species of bird s to
come and build their nests inside.
This resulted in poor lighting
around the tennis courts ," Parrish added. _
Last year , the new li ghts were
put up in front of the Waller
Building, around the Kehr Union ,
Schuy lkill Hall , The Old Science
Building, and the picnic area.
High-intensity lighting in the
last two years has cost BU
$40,000. Half of the funds used
to provide the improvement was
released from the university 's
reserve.
"The traffic fines and fees account paid the remaining
$20 ,000,"said Parrish.

The current concern at BU is
the path of li ghting from Centennial Gym to Sutliff , and around
Andruss Library. "The selection
of lights there is very poor., '' said
Parrish. "There are two great
disadvantages to the lighting in
this area , the height ofthe lights ,
and their position ," Parrish said.
The lights along the path , according to Parrish , are extremely hi gh causing a reflection of
li ght stra ight down , instead of a
broader illumination. The bran ches of surrounding trees also
disrupt the passage of light.
This spring, BU will spend
$70,000 to move the li ghts to the
opposite side of the path and to
shorten them into hi gh-intensity
lighting behind the McCormick
Building, where a commuter
parking lot is located .
"The commuter lot was
designed before McCormick was
built , " said Parrish. "Now that
we have McCormick , there is
peri pheral lighting, and one side
of the lot has no lighting . "
Lighting , alone, cannot protect
students from rape itself. Lundahl
suggests "walking in groups; telling a friend where you are going
and who with , watching alcohol
consumption (too much alcohol
makes a person less capable of
defending themself) ; and getting
to know your date before going
somewhere with that person
alone. "

BU searching for parking problem solution

by Chris Miller
for the Voice

Bloomsburg University s campus police wrote $34,500 worth
of tickets for parking violations
in 1986; 5, 188 of the 6,900
tickets were paid.
Dr. Richard D. Alderfer ,
chairman of the traffic and safety committee, explained not all
tickets are paid because a ticket
can be appealed. "We hear about
25 appeals a week," Alderfer
said , "if it is a good appeal it can
be approved and the fine will be
dropped. "
Alderfer said that about 40 percent of the appeals are approved .
"In some cases, the parking decal
has fallen off the car , or if it is
a visitor , we try to give them a
break. "
According to Alderfer , the
reason for the enormous number
of tickets is simple. "There is a
severe parking problem and the
way to correct it is to have more
parking spaces ," he said .
To increase the number of
parking spaces, it has been pro
posed that the lawn behind An
druss library be made into a park

mg lot. Those opposed to this
proposal point out that it would
be expensive to build a new parking lot. In response, Alderfer has
suggested that revenue from
parking fines be used to finance
the new lot.
Fear that another parking lot
will detract from the beauty of the
campus is also an argument.
"Where McCormick now stands
there was once a parking lot. The
lawn behind the (Andruss) library
was also once used for parking, "
countered Alderfer. "If you take
away parking spots you must
create new ones. "
Vice President for Administration Dr. Robert J. Parrish does
not agree on the simplicity of the
problem and believes that several
factors are involved. He cited the
discipline system as one factor.
"The discipline system is not
working and we have no system
of progressive discipline ," Parrish said .
Parrish also stated that the
sizable revenue generated by
fines is not appreciated. "Writing
ticke ts and collecting money is
not what we want to do. "
What Parrish. and others .

would like to do is solve this problem which appears to be increasing in its severity each year. In
February alone , 1, 125 tickets
were written for parking violations. Perhaps a solution to this
problem can be found by examining what another university, such
as Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) , has done.
IUP' s Director of Public Safety Dr. Paul Lang said that about
two years ago the university
brought in an enviromentalist
group and engineers to help solve
the university 's parking problem.
In addition , a task force of faculty, students, Staff and administration was formed to further study
the problem.
Lang said , "The task force
along with the professional help
provided the university with information to deal with the parking problem and , more importantly, was a stimulus for us to act
on the problem. "
IUP has taken several steps to
eliminate the problem. Parking
meters have been placed on campus. "The parking meters have
opened up parking on campus and
have generated a considerable

revenue, Lang said . He explained that the parking meters have
"opened up parking " because
now students and visitors without
parking decals can park at a meter
instead of illegally parking in
space reverved for those with a
decal .
Alderfer , however, is not convinced that parking meters would
be beneficial in solving BU' s
parking problem. "They (parking meters) are not a good idea ,
there should be a better idea. We
need more parking spots , "
Alderfer said.
IUP has also instituted a reserved parking policy for faculty and
staff , however there is a cost of
$45 a semester.' Because only 80
spaces are available, a lottery is
held to determine who receives
these spaces. Those who do not
receive a reserved parking space
are not guaranteed to find a place
to park within the faculty lot.
Another action taken is the
towing of cars at the owner's expense. According to Lang, towing has become a daily routine
because it is strictly enforced .
In regards to the towing of illegally parked cars , Alderfer

said , I' m sort of against it. It 's
really expensive for the student ."
* Issuing transferrable decals to
faculty and staff is still another
step taken by IUP to cure the
parking problem. Prior to this
policy, faculty and staff were

BU not 'fo r the faculty '

University . It is defined as "an
educational institution of the
hi ghest level , variousl y composed of undergraduate and graduate
colleges. "
Its purpose is to educate . To
educate being "to develop the
knowledge, skill or character of;
especially by formal schooling. "
At Bloomsburg University
there seems to be a misconception on the part of Dr. James
Lauffer and other members ofthe
faculty who insist that this university exists solely for "the faculty " and is not here to meet the
definitions of university or
education.
This has been prominentl y
disp layed in the draft of the proposed governance structure of
this university . The practical
elimination of student representation in the entire structure ,
especially the University Foru m ,
reveals a blatant disregard for the
opinions and rights ofthe students
of this university .
Certain members of the faculty have failed to realize the true
purpose o f a university; this purpose being the education and
growth of the student as a whole
person. The university should not
bc in the business of merely pumping out degreed technicians ,
who are nothing more than innane
drones who have been throug h
the di ploma mill.
The well rounded students want
the opportunity to hel p determine
the direction in which their lives
are going to be developed at the
university , as well as the same
opportunity to aid in the furthering and betterment of the university itself.

The proposed governance
structure does not allow for this.
It places all ofthe decision making in the hands ofthe faculty and
the administration , who believe
they are much more qualified
than the students .
It seems odd that at
Bloomsburg University , where
the faculty hold such a- belief ,
such a small percentage of the
faculty are working scholars ,
scholars who teach and publish in
reputable journals.
Faculty members who do not
see fit to continue their education
are no more qualified to make
those decisions than juniors or
seniors in college.
Turning to the specific problems of the governance structure , the University Foru m is
unrepresentative of the university community . There is absolutely no way that three students opinions will be heard among 58
faculty and administrators.
The question of why there
needs to be a faculty member
from each academic department
plus five at-large members is
mind-bogg ling to a student who
reads the structure and sees that
there are th ree students representing the entire underg raduate
population , which totals over
6000 as compared to approximately 380 faculty .
The planning and budget committee , for example , has two
voting student members . The
proposed draft would eliminate
one of the two. Why ?
Considering there are 16
members on the committee , and
assuming the students on the
committee are harmful to the actions of it , how much damage can

two students , right or wrong, inflict. Does any possible damage
outwei g h the benefit that those
students could provide to the
committee?
Or do the people who made this
draft believe that they are
educating the students so poorly
that the students are not qualified
to make decisions about the future
of this university ?
This is an example of what
shall happen if this proposed
governance structure is adopted .
To alleviate this situation , we
propose the following changes in
this structure:
- The substitution of the five atlarge faculty with students , one
graduate and four undergraduate .
- A change in the composition of
the Student Life committee to include one more voting student
member , giving the students five
of the 11 votes in the committee
that most greatly affects students.
This would occur at the loss of
one student life professional .
- A change in the composition of
the planning and bud get committee to include at least one more
voting student member.
- An addition of two ex-officio
non-voting student members to
the Bloomsburg University Curriculum Committee. This being
our compromise point.
A meeting will be held today
at 3:30 in the University Forum ,
third floor McCormick Center.
Students must attend in order to
be heard .
It could be their last chance to
be heard at Bloomsburg
University .

Reagan s worth \n question
by Bob Bailey
Guest Columnist

I don 't want to turn this into a
point-counterpoint with my conservative friend, Mr. Mellon. I
couldn 't hel p but think he had
written his last two articles with
the Star Spangled Banner play ing
in the back ground.
Ronald Reagan is not , I am
sorry to say, the best thing since
sliced bread.
Thc issues addressed in Mr.
Mellon 's last two articles seem to
be tainted with a Reagan Administration favorite , double talk.
To understand what is reall y the
issue , you have to ignore the bull
and see the issues clearl y.
The main issue of the Iran Contra affair is not the stopping ofthe
red wave of communism. After
all , Cuba has long had communist
ties and lies onl y 150 miles from
Key West , Florida.
The thing we as Americans
should be upset about is the way
money from a so-called arms for
hostages deal was funneled
secretly into an account for use
by these freedom fighters . All this
taking place during and after

Congress , our voice in government , voted not to fund the
Contras.
A blatant circumvention ofthe
democratic system , w h i c h
Reagan and his disci ples have
covered with talk of communism
and arms for hostages. What
arms? What hostages?
Since the beg inning of his adminstration , the emphasis has
been on the picture , the public
opinion and not the issues. Mr.
Reagan is very good at
mani pulating the media.
Isn 't it strange that just as an
army advisor—note the term ,
(sound like Vietnam?)—is killed
in El Salvador , suddenl y a spy
ring is uncovered in the Soviet
Union and talks of unsafe embassies flood the television
media.
These h a p p e n i n g s sound
similar to when , three days after
almost 300 Marines are killed in
Beirut , our armed forces invaded that powerhouse of a country ,
Grenada , and rescued those fearstrickened American medical
students.
I think there is more of a need
here for criticism than praise.

We are dealing with an administration that has a bud get
with a record deficit, which he IS
responsible for , a foreign policy
that glorifies the Contras and is
shaky on a human rights issue like
Apartied; an administration
which supports the build up of
nuclear weapons and an attitude
that values the financial interests
ofthe rich above all else. I would
say there is reason for concern .
I really have nothing against
Ronald Reagan personally-in
fact he reminds me a lot of my
grandfather , although Reagan is
much older.
Let 's not be so quick to sing
"Hail to the Chief" until the
smoke covering the issues has
cleared . After the smoke fades ,
the public relations people have
all gone home, the issues are
crystal clear and Ronald Reagan
is the guy he is made out to be ,
then I'll be the first one in line to
shake his hand.
As it stands , now the smoke's
so thick it is hard to tell who that
is standing on the podium behind
the crest of the office of President
of the United States.

Deaf people not helpless

Editor:
I am writing in reply to the article entitled "Deaf student
strives toward her goal , " in the
April 9 issue of The Voice. I
agree that Katie Donovan has
adapted beautifull y in her chosen
career as a teacher of the deaf.
Katie 's lifesty le as an oral person has worked well for her. I
came from a deaf school in Pittsburg h that uses the method of
total communication. To be
frank , there is no such school that
is strictl y manual. I have lived in
and have been exposed to a deaf
culture more than a hearing
culture.
I want to clarif y the comment
that Katie made , "Some deaf
people are selfish , especiall y the
ones that are raised around all
deaf people. They expect the
hearing to come to them , to help
them. They do not go out on their
own to do things for themselves.
They expect the hearing to do it
for them. "
I do not think of myself that
way . Hearing people in deaf
schools do not give deaf students
a sense of independence. I have
seen very spoiled hearing people
who grow up expecting everyone
to do things for them. Being deaf
has nothing to do with not try ing
hard . They were raised into
thinking that they can 't do
anything and that hearing people
will do things for them.
I never rely on a hearing person except for using the phone.
The phone may be a barrier for
deaf people , but that does not
make them helpless because
Amish people do not use the
phone by choice.
If I am with a hearing person
who knows sign language and one
that doesn 't , I will sign to the
hearing person that knows signs
to interpret for me to make the
conversation easier.
I see many deaf people do
things for themselves because

Good Friday?
Editor:
I am writing in regards to having classes on Good Friday. Since
I am a freshman , my understanding from upperclassmcn is that
in the past there have been classes
held on Good Friday .
I fail to see the reasoning
behind this decision since Good
Friday is a religious holiday as
Christmas is.
In talking with some classmates
and upperclassmcn, I've found
I'm not the only one. For one
reason or another, the majority of
the students leave on Thursday
and simply skip classes.
If this is true , I don t understand why the committee which
plans the school calender continues to schedule classes on
Good Friday . It seems it would
be easier for students and faculty not to have classes scheduled
on Good Friday .
Students will not miss class and
both the students and faculty will
be able to spend the holiday with
their families. I hope the committee takes this into consideration
and maybe, in a short time , a
change for the better can be
made. Thank you .
A concerned student

they are tired of having a hearing person do things for them.
Deaf people want to prove to
themselves that they can do the
things they want to do. It is mostly the hearing who assume that
deaf people cannot do things. Not
many deaf people were given the
chance.
Deaf people can wake up by
themselves by attaching a lamp to
a special clock and the light
wakes them up. Deaf people can
us a teletypewriter to communicate with the hearing by calling an operator that has one and
the operator can act as a relay
person.
I have two tutors without an in-

terpreter. If I need to talk with my
teachers , I can do it without an
interpreter. For one class I went
around the dorms interviewing
people all by myself.
I freel y admit that my speech
isn 't perfect. I am a very profoundly deaf person and cannot
hear myself speak even with a
hearing aid , and I cannot tell if
I am making mistakes. Yet so far
I have communicated with peop le fairly well.
I just want everyone to know
how proud I am of sign language
because it is my language and my
culture .
Sincerely yours ,
Melissa Watson

Editor:
I am writing in response to the
article "Students cause damage."
The article contained suggestions
and concerns of Mr. Larry Smith,
our beloved Bloomsburg Police
Chief. I think those who did not
read the article can guess what it
was about.
The quiet town of Bloomsburg
has been disrupted by vandalism
and other disturbances caused by
univerisity students. Granted ,
there definitely is a problem. But
the ludicrous suggestions of Mr.
Larry Smith cannot pass without
comment.
I think he needs to take into
consideration the fact that a few
can spoil it for the many. By
generalizing about the entire student population , he forgets about
the many students who go out and
cause no harm.
When a large group of people
come together , as in the university , you are bound to get those
who neither respect the property
of others or know how to act
civil.
So Mr. Larry Smith , I don 't
think you can point a finger at all
of us. Your suggestion about
"kicking those students out of
school who are arrested for vandalism " is not a bad idea.
But let us consider the suggestion o f' 'kicking students out who
are arrested for underage drinking. If that idea was ever passed ,
more than half of Bloomsburg
University wouldn 't be here .
I think we both know what the
university does for the town. For

example, let us consider the commerce university students bring
downtown Bloomsburg. I hardly
think some of those quaint , little
stores would survive without us.
Your comment "more responsibility must be given to the
students " is not only unfair but
untrue. I believe most of us would
agree that between exams ,
papers , classes, homework and
scheduling we have enough
responsibility .
How can you say that we have
an "easy way of life" when you
know nothing about our responsibilities , except what rumors
drift into town. As far as your
statement , "when I went to
school , with mandatory classes
and a need to work , I couldn 't go
out and drink ," I think maybe
you should reflect back once
more.
We've all heard the old adage
fro m our grandfather , "I used to
walk ten miles to school, through
rain and snow uphill both ways.''
It's obvious there is a problem,
but as far as how to tackle it, well
that is up for consideration.
Education and communication
between the town and university
would be my first guess.
There
is
a
definite
misunderstanding stemming from
the stereotype that Bloomsburg
students "have an easy way of
life ." I don't wish to doubt your
credibil ity, Mr. Smith, but your
article was yet to be desired.
Sincerely ,
Michael Morrissey

Organization strives
fo r equal treatment
by Vincenzo Verrastro
Staff Writer

A ffirmative Action , an
organization which attempts to
diversify the student population at
Bloomsburg University , has
stated in its Plan For Equal
Opportunity-!983 that one of the
reasons for minority student attrition is "a belief that minorities
are not readil y accepted in
campus-wide organizations such
as the Community Government
Association ,
the
student
newspaper , or the Kehr College
Union Program Board. "
Ed Gobora , C o m m u n i t y
Government Association (CGA)
vice president , said "We do not
discriminate. "
Gobora , who said he felt offended , continued "Anyone of
any race, color or creed can run
for the CGA. "
Persons exemplif y ing this
assertion are Gary Wilson and
Melvin Poulson , black members
of the CGA Senate .
The Black Cultural Society ,
Gobora added , "has a permanent
seat on the CGA. "
Jeff Cox , editor of The Voice,
said he "believes that the allegations are unfair and unfounded ."
The Voice has several minority
students working for them "in-

cluding a student who writes a lot
of material and a very active
photogragher. "
"I will not be held responsible
for a lack of minority student participation , " Cox continued. "We
do not owe them any better of an
opportunity than any other stu dent. "
Jimmy Gilliland , assistant
director of student activities ,
however , could not be reached
for comment.
Another reason for the high
minority attrition rate, according

Anthony Sylvester, who escorted a group of sixteen BU students who spent their spring break touring
the Soviet Union , spoke at a slide show and panel discussion Tuesday night in Multi-C. The group
visited various historical places in Lennigrad such as St. Issac's Catherderal, Alexander 's Tower, St.
Peter and Paul 's Fortress. In Moscow, the students toured the Kremlin where they visited the Kremlin
Palace where aU of the national treasures are'kept, the Archangel Cathederal where all the czars are
buried and other places of interest. Most of the students who took the trip agreed that it was a worthwhile experience and some would even like to return someday for another visit. The trip will be
offered again next semester for $1050, which includes everything.

car they would be driving from

or child to use the decal and instead of one car on campus , there
were two or three from one

The use of transferrable decal s

Peer pres surefound in many f orms

The members of Image rendered two great shows in Haas, treating the
audience to sign and song. (Voice photo by Imtiaz AH Taj)

"Come on, let's go out tonight.
You can get your work done
tomorrow. "
"I bought this shirt at the
Limited and the pants at
Strawbrid ge 's. "
"I spent one hour doing my
make up and hair for my ni ght
class. "
Three seeming ly different
statements , all inter-related by
one factor , a facto r that is apparentl y very prevelant on the
Bloomsburg University campus-peer pressure.
BiU Koch , resident dean of
Schuylkill dorm and a graduate of
BU , says that peer pressure exists "...especiall y in a college setting. You fi rst get here, you 're
eighteen years old , you may
know some people , but you want
to get to know others . To do this ,
sometimes you have to follow the
crowd—it happens everywhere ."

Perf ect Image of a great show
hy Maria Bednarchik
lor The Voice

Image , a non-professional signsong group performed at Haas
auditorium on Sunday at 2 p.m.
and on Monday at 8 p.m.
The members of Image are all
full-time undergraduate students
of various majors at Bloomsburg
University.
The 11 members of Image arc :
Lisa Harding (president), Becky
Gcrmano (vice-president), Tricia
Anne Reill y (treasurer), Mary
Beth Sawyer (secretary), Maria
Libcrtclla , Cind y Scanlon . Andre
Wills , Debbie Marconi , Melissa
Watson , Dcnisc Powers , and
Katie Valvcrdi. The show was
organized by Joanne Jackowski
who instructs the International
Training Progra m here at the
university. Pam Diamond interpreted for thc performances.
To be a member of Image , you
must try out at the beg inning of
the semester. Suprising ly, you do
not have to know sign-language.
You onl y have to learn the signs
for your skit; any student is
welcome to try out.
Preparation fbr thc show requires the performers to think of
a skit that they would like to do.
Once they come up with an idea ,
they must write a routine fbr the
song they have chosen. From
then on , a great deal of practice
is required; at least two ni ghts a
week if not more . The many
hours required for practice and
performance
are
strictl y
extracurricular.

Denise Powers , a freshman
auditory major says , "I am a
freshman , I have four years , and
this is the one way to enjoy them
a lot...it is reall y fun. "
Beck y Germane , a senior
audiology major comments , "It
is reall y great; the satisfaction inside , especiall y when we go to
places where there are deaf people there... it just gives you such
an o v e r w h e l m i n g feeling,
because you know they are
understanding you. In this way it
is good because the hearing people can hear the music and watch
it , and this way the deaf people
can too; they may not hear the
music , but they can tell see what
we are doing, see how we act
everything out. "
One deaf performer , Melissa
Watson , a freshman physical
therapy major , joined Image
because , "They told me about it
and said that I could become involved with sign-language if I did
it; so, it is my language , so I
thought I would be interested. I
thoug ht it may be hard because
I could not hear the music , but it
is not that hard . It takes a lot of
practice until I get the beat. "
Maria Gatto , a member of the
audience , says , "Thc show was
so touching and heart-warming,
and it just amazed me how
beautiful the art of sign-language
can be. "
The theme song of the show is
Hands by Dan Robbinson. Other
popular hits performed include:
59th Street Bridge Song, by
Simon and Garfunkel; Wheneve r
I Call You Friend , by Melissa

Zenith Z-159 BundledPC.
It beats all-nighters.

Manchester; Living on a Prayer,
by Bon Jovi; Land of Confusion ,
by Genesis; Walk Like an Egyptian , by the Bangles*. Joy to the
World , by Three Dog Ni ght; The
Future 's so Bright , by Tim Buk
Three; and I 've Loved these Days
by Bill y Joel.
Special effects and li ghting
were done by Tom Wri ght and
Tim Carlson. Eileen Finn acted
as the sound technician. The
theatre department , the Salvation
Army store , and Becky Emish
donated the costumes.
Other sponsors included Ral ph
Dillon who supp lied the flowers ,
W C N R who taped music ,
WBUQ who donated music , and
SEARS who donated their song
props.
Thanks to these people and the
members of Image , a wonderful
performance was made possible.

Nancy
Pashchuck ,
psychologist and counselor at the
campus counseling center says,
"I've only been at Bloomsburg
University for three weeks and in
that short time , I'd estimate that
three-quarters of the students I
have seen have discussed peerrelated issues. Problems like ,
"'I'm having trouble finding people who share my values,' and 'Is
it okay if I don 't like to go out all
the time like everyone else does?'
are common. "
According to Dr. John Baird ,
who has a degree in psychology
and is currently the interim dean
of Arts and Sciences , students
feel peer pressure mostly fro m
their close friends. "College
students are in a transition stage
from teenage to adult years and
¦"•j_ irh . thev are subj ect to most

influence from their close friends .
You associate with people who
are like yourself. Hence , your
close friends are more likely to
make requests of you that are
quite close to what you would do
ordinaril y. Therefore , these peop le have a lot of influence. "
Baird believes one peer
pressure on campus is the
pressure to party .
Steve Rohrbach , senior finance
major, notes, "I didn 't drink until
I came to- college but once I got
here , I think I felt peer pressure
to drink. Not so much that it was
forced on me , but I just wanted
to do it—it was cool. "

remarkably,
one ofthe best hunting spots for
turkeys in the northeast.
Just think- nice , warm , sunny
spring days. This means you
can 't say it 's too cold to go hunting. So now the onl y excuse you
have for not going out turkey
hunting this spring is that you got
a turkey in the fall , and hunters
are only allowed one turkey per
Uscense year whether the turkey
is shot in the fall or spring season.

Opportunity coming
to get those turkeys
Staff Writer

Turkey hunters get read y !
Spring gobbler season starts
statewide on Saturday , April 25
and will run until May 23.
• Unlike the fall turkey season ,
in which male or female turkeys
may be taken , only the male
turkey , which is bearded , can be
taken in the spring.
In addition , there are also
special r e g u l a t i o n s . First ,
shooting hours start one-half hour
before sunrise and are over at
11.00 a.m. Hunters are to be out
of the woods by noon.
Secondl y, hunting can be done
onl y by calling turkeys with a
turkey call , such as the box call
or the diap hragm call. Thirdl y,
bows and arrows or shotguns
must be used.
It must be said that the turkey
population in Pennsy lvania is excellent at this time of year with
Columbia County being among
the top counties in the state for
turkey "population.

For those of you who understand how to safely jump a car battery , I apolog ize for occupy ing
this space with information you
alread y know. However , it is an
i m p o r t a n t aspect of carownership. Let 's face it , cars
break down , and people do leave
headli ghts on.
When a car ' s battery is dead ,
you may hear a clinking sound.
This is the solenoid , a switch
which completes the positive-side
circuit between the positive terminal on the battery and the
starter. This clicking is evidence
of an almost completely dead battery. Other times , the motor may
simp ly turn over too slowly to
run. Usuall y, these batteries will
require only a few minutes of
charg ing.

When jump ing a dead battery ,
a second vehicle should be pulled alongside or , if necessary , in
front of the stranded one. When
pulling in front of the stranded
vehicle , make sure the second
vehicle can not jump into gear or
coast ahead since the jump-car
will be running while it is charging the other car 's battery .
Next , determine which battery
terminals are positive and which
are negative. This can be done in
three ways. The first is to check
the colors of the cables. Red is
positive while black is negative.
This is not 100 percent reliable
since older cars may have had
cables replaced with the incorrect
colors.

The best way is to check the top
or side ofthe battery for positive
signs and negative signs. A

There is a safety consideration
in that the sulfuric acid in the battery produces a gas which seeps
out. This gas is explosive , and it
has killed more than one person.
If a battery is old , cracked , or
hi ghl y corroded , don 't attempt to
jump it.
If you do jump a battery , make
all connections , saving the
negative terminal of the good battery for last. This produces the
smallest spark arid reduces the
chances for an explosion to
occur.
A second safety point is to
remove the caps at the top of the

battery , if it is to be charged for
a long period of time. This is
done to prevent a pressure buildup in the battery which could also
result in an explosion. The explosion would be caused by the boiling water/sulfuric acid mixture of
an
overcharged
battery.
Remember , be patient while
jumping your car. It will probably
not start right away , so give it
time. Don 't run the battery dead
again by trying to start the car ,
this will only put you back at
where you started- with a dead
battery .

ing on this album leaves a lot to
be desired.
Side one starts off with his
MTV video debut of I Might Lie.
This tune has a good , harddriving feel to it , but it sounds
like ' 'mud'' due to what I believe
is poor engineering. The second
song, Don 't Let Me Die Young ,
starts off with similar style , but
eventually thins out and becomes
one of the better songs on the
album. The third song on side
one, titled Life Goes On is a nice,
warm ballad about Taylor 's own
existance. The last song on this
side is Thunder, and it is a harddriving tune about being in love.
Side two is highlighted by what
I find to be the best song on the
album, Night Train. It displays
good song writing ability and Andy 's somewhat melodic voice.
Other songs on side two are
Tremlin, Bring Me Down and
Broken Windows , the latter of
which is the only song on the
album written solely by Andy
Taylor. Side two closes with
French Guitars, a slow , mellow
instrumental.
Thunder is the type of album
that one may make strange faces
when first hearing but eventually grow to like. Although the
guitar work was disappointing ,
this album contains some likeable
melodies.

Taylor 's debut album
not worth the wait
Staff Write r

This is one album I have been
waiting for for some time now.
After his project with the Power
Station in 1984, Andy Taylor
found out he could play guitar as
well as "pose ". So he decided it
was time to join the. ranks of the
new age of guitar heroes. What
later resulted was his new album
titled Thunder.With this album ,
Taylor does not come through
with all that he promises.
Andy Taylor does his own producing with some assistance from
ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve
Jones. Jones also helps out on the
guitar tracks as well. The rhythm
section includes Mickey Curry on
drums, formerly of Hall & Oates,
and Patrick O'Hearn on bass,
formerly of Missing Persons .

Although partying and drinking
seem to be major peer pressures
on the BU campus , other forms
of neer pressure exist.

Koch states there is pressure to
"...go Greek because it's supposedly the way to meet people.
But at the same time, there is a
pressure not to go Greek from
non-Greeks. If a non-Greek hears
that one of his friends is going to
a rush meeting, he'll say 'You 're
going to a rush meeting? You
don 't want to do that!'"
Another form of pressure that
exist on the Bloomsburg campus
is the pressure to be fit. Sue Cho,
a freshman Eng lish major
observes , "I think it 's a big thing
to look good. Girls are always on
a diet or going to the gym. "
Pashchuck agrees, "I think a
lot of peer pressure exists in terms
of looking good and dating
because of the unequal ratio of
females to males here. When I
first came here, I was surprised
at how many good looking girls
there are. "
Andrea Kehoe , junior political
science major , says, "I think
there is a pressure for girls to be
thin , not to be physically fit. It
can even get to the point where
g irls become anorexic. "
However , according to Cho,
"Sometimes peer pressure can
help a person. For example, I
didn 't go to parties for the first
few weeks up here. One time my
friends talked me into going to
one and the next day I said to
myself, 'You know , you gave into them, but it really wasn't that
bad. It was kind of fun. '"
Baird advises students ,
"Recognize that you have a right
to your own opinion , that you
have a right to say no, you have
a right to be yourself. It would be
a boring and -ion-productive
society if we were all nonconformists. "
Koch adds , "Remember that
it 's okay to say no. If you don 't
want to do something and you
consider these people your
friends , once you say no , they
should understand. If they don 't,
may be you 're hanging out with
the wrong people. "

Millen comes back for one more year
by David Derrick
for The Voice

What would you say to working in the Residence Life office
in the morning, doing school work
and going to class at night?
Would you say it 's crazy , or
maybe impossible? Well don 't
say that to Jean Millen , because
that is exactl y what she does.
Millen is an undergraduate student who because of a knee injury is using up an extra year of
elig ibility in softball. As for how
she juggles all of these things , she
claims it hasn 't been a problem
so far.
"So far , being an assistant
coach with basketball hurt more ,
in softball it hasn 't hurt , because
away games have been rained
out ," said Millen.
Even more impressive than this

is her coming back to play softball. In 1985 she suffered a knee
injury while play ing for the
women 's basketball team , that
forced her to sit out the entire
softball season. She was able to
recover and return to the team ,
as a senior , last year , and this
year she is finishing her softball
career at Bloomsburg .
"She 's come back much better
than I expected , she 's close to 100
percent , " said coach Jan
Hutchinson.
Althoug h she has recovered
from the injury and has come
back to play , the injury has effected her sty le of play .
"I'm more cautious now ,
especially with base running, but
I don 't let it affect my play ," said
Millen. "At shortstop I'm a little show from side to side ,
especially to my right , so 1 tend

to cheat on hitters a little.
The bottom line is that she is
back , and she is bring ing her
Division II first team AilAmerican status back to a te,am
that last year comp iled a record
of 42-5. That team also went to
the national final four in Division
II softball , but this year there are
some differences.
"We 're basically a young
team , so the seniors try to provide leadership. The players have
mixed well so far ," added
Millen.
Millen is among the seniors
try ing to provide that leadership,
but so far she 's been off to a slow
start.
"She 's having difficulty hitting
right now , but she missed all of
winter practice while she was an
assistant basketball coach ," added coach Hutchinson.

Millen said that being an assistant coach has, "affected my getting in shape ," but she also feels
that the coaching has given her a
new perspective. "I can see both
sides now , from both the coaches
and play ers point of view ."
As softball continues in what
will hopefully be a successful
season , Jean Millen begins the
season as a starter for the fourth
year , and also carries .some impressive statistics from the past
three seasons she has played .
In all three of her previous
seasons she has batted over .300 ,
with a hi gh of .337 in 1984. She
has also led the team in homeruns
her previous three seasons. Last
year she was fourth in batting
average at .331, fk st in homeruns
with ei ght , scored 39 runs , and
batted in 35 runs , while play ing
47 games.

Jean Milien must provide leadership for the team. (Voice file photo)

Linton captures second plac e
petes in over a two-day period .
These ten events are, the 100
meter dash , 400 meter dash , 110
meter high hurdles , 1500 meter
run , hi gh jump, long jump, shotput , javelin , discus and the pole
vault.

by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

Bloomsburg University ' s
Bruce Linton recently attended
East Stroudsburg University to
partici pate in a decathalon and
make an attempt to qualify for the
upcoming Pennsy lvania State
Athletic Conference meet in the
event.

The first five events on Saturday were the 100 meter dash ,
hi gh jump, long jump, shotput
and the 400 meter dash.
Opening up on Saturday , Linton ran the 100 meter dash in a
time of 11.5 seconds. A respectable time and enough to gain him
some valueable points.

Also a very capable defensive
back for the Bloomsburg football
team , Bruce Linton missed alot
more than just spring football
practice to attend East Stoudsburg
this past weekend.

After competing in the 100
meter dash , Linton moved on to
•the hi gh jump, not exactly his
strength , but he proved to be no
slouch as he hi gh jumped six feet
and three inches.

He also left men ' s and
women 's track and field coach
Ron Puhl without one of his most
dedicated and finest athletes as
they travelled to Shippensburg for
an 18 (men) and 16 (women)
team competition.
A decathlon consists of ten
events that each partici pant com-

Bruce Linton, shown here competing in the long jump, made an impressive showing this past weekend in
the decathalon as he recorded a second place with 5600 total points. Linton missed the Shippensburg meet
to participate in the event at East Stroudsburg University.

From there he moved to a more
familiar area , that being the sand
p it , for the long jump competition , which he won easily with a

Hard work is paying off for Bisset
"Look for her to be a leading
runner in the conference , " was
the comment made by track coach
Ron Puhl about Bloomsburg
University 's Brenda Bisset.
a
sop homore
Bisset ,
mathematics major at BU , never
considered running a serious
sport for herself before college.
She played basketball and softball
in high school . Bisset began running "basically to get in shape for
other sports ." It was not until she
began running for BU that she
realized how much she enjoyed
the sport.

As a freshman , Bisset joined
the track team and tried out for
the softball team. However , she
made her decision to stay with
track and cross-country . Coach
Puhl said , "We're delighted she
decided to stay ; she 's tough and
she 's good. "
Bisset runs the 10,000, 5000,
and sometimes the 3000 meter
runs. In the 1986 cross-country
season , she made all-conferences.
In the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference (PSAC), she placed
ninth.
This was especially an honor
because Bisset beat runners who
had won track scholarships at
other colleges , something which

BU does not offer.
Bisset also holds the indoor
record on the 2-mile run from the
informal winter track sea'son.
Coach Puhl said , "She 's very
organized about her running. "
Practice consists of speed days
and distance days. Speed days are
workouts on the track from approximately 3:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. Afte r time is spent on the
track , cooldowns are run. These
cooldowns consist of a 2-mile
run. Distance day runs can go
anywhere from 3-5 miles.
Bisset began training yearround when she began running
for Bloomsburg .
One point particularly stressed

Sharon Swank and Bob Swank
defeated Markelle Medlock and
Tom Ghosh last weekend by a
score of 6-3, 6-4, to win the
Volvo Tennis/Campus Mixed
Doubles Championships held at
Bloomsburg University .
The Volvo Tennis/Campus
Mixed Doubles is a unique pilot
program sponsored by Volvo
Tennis and administered by the
ITCA on over 40 Eastern college
campuses this Spring.
All participants received a
complimentary Volvo Tennis Tshirt and a deluxe box lunch. The
winners and finalists also received a special trophy from Volvo
Tennis.
The winning mixed doubles
team of each Volvo Tennis/Campus Mixed Doubles
Tournament will advance to one
of three Volvo Tennis/Campus
Mixed Doubles Regional Championships to be held at Yale ,
M.I.T., and Princeton.
The winners and finalists of
each regional playoff will be
awarded prize money , and Volvo
Tennis will make scholarship
donations to the varsity tennis
programs at their respective
colleges.
The Bloomsburg University
Champions are local residents.
Sharon 'Swank works in the
University 's Nursing Depart-

ment. She and her husband are
looking forward to participating
in the Regional Championship.
The Bloomsburg University
Volvo Tennis/Campus Mixed
Doubles Champions will compete
at the regional championship to
be held at Princeton on April 25th
adn 26th , 1987.
The winners and finalists of
each regional championship will
then compete in the Volvo Tennis/Campus Mixed Doubles
Eastern Championships on May
9th and 10th at Princeton University . At the Eastern Championships, prize money will be awarded to the top four participating
teams, and Volvo Tennis will
make contributions to the varsity tennis programs at the colleges
of these to four finishers.
In total , Volvo Tennis will be
providing through the Volvo Tennis/Campus Mixed Doubles
Championships over $16,000 in
donations to a number of Eastern
collegiate tennis programs.
Also, Volvo Tennis will be
awrding over $5,000 in prize
money to mixed doubles teams,
who for a magic moment, will be
transformed
from
tennis
"hackers " into collegiate
superstars.
On the college level , Volvo
Tennis recently has become the
sponsor of the Volvo Tennis/In-

tercollegiate Series, which will be
implemented starting with the
1987-88 varsity college tennis
season.
Volvo Tennis is also involved
in additional events, including the
title sponsorship of six tournaments and presenting sponsorships at two others on the Nabisco
Grand Prix men 's professional
tour and the USTA/Volvo Tennis League for recreational
players.

21 7 jump.
The next event hurt him sli ghtly as he was unable to put the shot
very well. He still managed to get
some points out of his 30 foot
toss. .

The last event of the day , 400
meter dash , saw him run a blazing 54.0 seconds to pick up some
points and hold the first day lead.
Day two of competition opened up with the pole vault as Linton vaulted 10' 2".
Then came the event that may
have cost Linton the event. He
ran the 1500 meter run in an
unimpressive five minutes and 30
seconds , losing crucial points.
He then closed out the events
by losing the javlin 159 feet , no
small accomplishment , hurling
the disc 95 feet and running the
110 hurdles in 16.2 seconds.
Linton then flushed the second
day in second place with a total
of 5600 points.

among teammates and Coach
Puhl is how the teammates hel p
each other.
Freshman Tammy Trione
describes the team as very good
friends. She exp lains that
everyone helps everyone elso out
with practice. "We also eat
together before a meet on every
Friday ," said Trione.
Bisset said that the teammates
are all good friends. "We ' re
close and we hel p each other. "
Sophomore teammate Chery l
Hallman described Bisset as a
hardworking, dedicated individual with a good attitude.
"She is there every day . She
works so hard and it pay s off for
her. " Hallman said.
When Trione joined the team
this year she felt very apprehensive about it. however, she claims
after watching Bisset she has, "an
incentive to run. "
When asked if the mental and
physical strain of running takes
away from her classwork , Bisset
replied just the opposite. "I get
more done. Running helps me
take the stress off school , when
I have a lot of time , I waste it. "
Bisset hopes to stay with running while she is at BU. Coach
Puhl feels that Bisset "has a lot
going for her. "

and entered a rehabilitation
clinic.
Dwight Gooden , star pitcher
of the Mets as most of you
know , is the latest fool to get
caug ht up in the snow-white
world of cocaine.
Now , if I had the address to
write to , here is the letter I
would mail to Mr. Gooden addressing his small problem.
Dear Dwi ght ,
How do you like it over
there in New York City at the
Smithers Alcoholism and
Treatment Center? Is it nice
being with all your fellow addicts , shooting (pun intended)
the breeze? Are you enjoy ing
your 28-day (at least) vacation
from baseball and your fans (if
there are any left)? I bet you
So tell me Dwig ht , how did
you get there? And please
don 't give me one of those sad
stories of having too much
pressure on you and needing to
escape.
Oh , now I understand. It
was onl y recreational use like
at parties and the such . Instead
of a drink , you had a snort .
Thank God it was only that. Of
course you don 't want to
become an alcoholic.
1 have another question for
you Dr. K. Please tell me you
didn 't take drugs during the
season. Please , pretty please.
You say you didn 't? Well , at
least that ' s something to be
thankful for.
But tell me then , what kind
of excuse can you offer for last
year? You went from outstanding (24-4 in 1985) to human
and hittable (17-6 in 1986).
Your earned-run average went
up over 1.3 points , from 1.53
to 2.84 . But you tell us you
didn 't take drugs during the
season, so we believe you.
Yet , my initial question remains thoug h: Why did a pitching superstar like you start
up on cocaine? An adult should
be able to handle peer
pressure , to say 'No ' when offered it. I' m 18 and I' ve said
no four or five times in my life
to it. Believe me, Dwight , it 's
an easy word to say .
But \ou couldn 't bring
yourself to uo it , could you?
Now look where you are .
You have embarrassed what
is probably the best team in
baseball with your antics , you
are also hurting that same team
by missing so much of the
season , 'you have alienated
many of your fans , and
perhaps worst of all , from
your personal point-of-view ,
you have violated your probation that was handed down on
you for your Tampa incident
(which I'm sure was not cocaine related).
Am I correct so far ,
Dwight?
But of course , it is your life ,
so who am I to tell you that
you 're screwing up. You go on
with your treatment and I
sincerely wish you the best of
luck in overcoming your
problems.
One last thing, though ,
please, don 't come back to the
Mets . They are a decent team
who are capable of winning
without you and your many
problems .
Baseball is no place for drug
addicts , both currently and
formerly.
Sincerely yours
Dave Sauter

by Dave Sauter
Sports Editor

The men 's tennis team has been
pretty busy over the past few
days, but their work has paid
great dividends. The nationally
12th ranked Division II Huskies
played fantastic tennis in beating
some very quality competition
over the weekend.
On Friday , Bloomsburg , who
is ranked second in the east in
Division II , played the third ranked team in the area , Mercy hurst.
The day belonged to the
Huskies as they romped to a 7-2
victo ry . But the win was costly
as their number one player , Tim
Mitchell , pulled a muscle in his
leg and would not play at all over
the weekend.
With this bad news 'on their
minds , Bloomsburg headed down
to Morgantown , WV , for the
West Virg inia Quad. There , in
the span of 24 hours, they would
p lay three matches against some
toug h Division I competition.
On Saturday morning, they
faced Rutgers University against
whom they pulled off an impressive 6-3 victory .
Later that afternoon , the

Huskies went up against the host
school , West Virg inia University. The Mountaineers proved to
be too toug h , thoug h , and
Bloomsburg lost an 8-1 decision.
' On Sunday m o r n i n g , the
Huskies went up against the tough
Dukes of James Madison University. The match went on for over
six hours , but Bloomsburg
prevailed with a well-earned 5-4
victory .
But the toug h schedule would
not let up as the Huskies next had
to take on a tough Penn St. school
at home on Tuesday afternoon .
Unfortunately for BU , even the
return of Tim Mitchell could not
hel p them out as they fell by the
score of 6-3.
Finall y , the Huskies played
East Stroudsburg University
yesterday afternoon where they
regained their winning ways. It
was no contest as Bloomsburg
coasted to a 9-0, shutout victory .

Huskies were perfect in not even
giving up a set. The Warriors
could only manage to win 25
games in thc whole match.

impressive as hc defeated Mike
Bonbroweki , 6-0 6-0.

Huskies record has improved to
7-8 on the year , with onl y easy
competition in si ght. According
to head coach Burt Reese ,
