Rats used for research
by Karen Trimbath
Staff Writer

The Learning Lab , located on
the second floor of the McCormick Building , is being used to
observe the behavior of brain damaged rats , which may then be
app lied to human therapy .
Since October . Dr. Alex
Pop lawsky , a member of BU' s
psychology department, has been
researching the effects of the drug
Gang lioside in brain-damaged
rats while performing activities.
He has researched the septal
area of the brain for 15 years. A
small division , surrounded by the
cortex in the center of the brain ,
the. septal area is involved in
motivation and emotion.
Poplawsky noted that the septal area is anatomicall y similar in
both humans and rats .
There is another reason why he
works with rats. "I removed the
septal in some of the rats using
electrolytical lesions. Because

their septal areas are small and
isolated , it is difficult to lesion
other brain nuclei. "
After Poplawsk y removed the
septal, one-half of the braindamaged rats were injected three
to five times with the drug
Gang lioside, which may facilitate
learning. This was done one to
three days after surgery . The
other brain-damaged and normal
animals were injected with saline
solution.
According to the professor ,
behavoral observation is very
complex. "You can 't isolate one
experiment. Instead , you must
look at a series of behavioral
observations. "
His current research has gone
throug h severa l phases since October. It has taken place in the
Learning Lab , which houses the
animal colony , the observation
room , the equi pment room and
and
the
psysiolog ical
psycholog ical lab , where the
surgery is done.

Pop lawsk y and his three student assistants initiall y started by
wei g h i n g the a n i m a l s and
measuring the rats ' drinking. Performance levels in activities such
as rearing, or standing, were then
recorded .
The research team found that
five to 10 days after surgery , the
brain damaged and normal rats
showed similar levels of activity .
However , after 10 to 60 days , the
activity levels of the control
group increased , while those ol
the brain-damaged rats went
down.
One experiment involved placing both normal and braindamaged rats in separate
chambers and making them press
a bar for pellets for a half-hour.
On a fixed response rate , the rats
had to learn to wait 60 seconds
before pressing the bar , instead
of doing it many times.
"One human application would
be to look at obsessive, com-

two weeks before the opening of
Congressional hearings into the
Iran-Contra affair.
The special Senate panel voted
Tuesday to grant immunity from
prosecution to former national
security adviser John M.
Poindexter , a move that would
compel the Rear Admiral to
testify about conversations with
President Reagan on aid to the
Contras during the congressionally ordered stoppage. A panel
spokesman said committee
members had been polled informally. The House panel is expected to vote on the matter
Wednesday.
The Pentagon official Tuesday
said that the Defense Department
had again overlooked the Yellow
Fruit account last month when
CBS questioned the Pentagon
about reports that Army units
may have set up foreign bank accounts in connection with the
private effort to aid the Contras.
On March 18, Pentagon officials responded to CBS inquiries
by saying there was no evidence
of any Army involvement, the official said. But when CBS returned with the number of the Swiss
bank account , the Defense
Department checked further and
determined that "there was some
substance to the report. "
CBS reported Monday night
that the names of North , Secord ,
and retired Army Warrant Officers William T. Golden and Joel
M. Patterson , both formerl y
associated with Business Security International , appear on the account. It said the information raised new questions about the involvement of the Pentagon in the
Iran-Contra affair.

Publicly, the Pentagon declined to discuss the CBS story in any
detail Tuesday. Robert B. Sims ,
the Pentagon 's chief spokesman ,
said only that the Army and Pentagon are "looking into the issues
raised in the report. "
"Secretary of Defense (Casper
W.) Weinberger was unaware of
any such activity . Neither he nor
Secretary of the Army (John 0.)
Marsh approved are authorized
anything remotely like the activities described in the report. If
there are any improprieties , we
will endeavor to discover them
and take appropriate actions , "
Sims said .
He added th at the matter has
been referred to the office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E.
Walsh , which has begun an investigation into the matter.
In a related matter , retired Air
Force Lt. Col. Richard B. Gadd
met with congressional investigators on Monday and provided a comprehensive picture of
how millions of dollars was spent
in support of the Contras in Central America by the private network directed by North and
Secord , according to an informed source.
Gadd , whose companies were
involved inthe resupply effort ,
described "weekly, if not daily "
contact with North and Secord ,
the source said.

At the meeting, which was held
in the university Forum , approximatel y 100 faculty members and
20 students attended to discuss the
redraft of the Representative
Assembl y (RA), which is the
board 's governing document.
The redraft , devised by Vice
Presidents Dr. Daniel Pantaleo
and Royce Johnson , is argued by
many to not adequatel y include
faculty and students in the decision making processes of the
Governance Board .
After reviewing the redraft ,
one faculty member asked ,
"Where do faculty and students

In the discussion concerning
the redraft , a variety of viewpoints and suggestions were made
known.
One grievance broug ht forth

by Dan Morgan

L.A. Times- Washington Post Sevice

A Swiss bank account set up in
1983 by a secret Army intelligence unit called "Yellow
Fruit " may have been used later
by Lt. Col. Oliver L. North and
retired Maj . Gen. Richard V.
Secord to finance arms shipments
to the Nicaraguan rebals , a Pentagon official said Tuesday .
The official, who called the account at Credit Suisse Bank
unusual"
and
"hi ghl y
"unauthorized , " was unable to
say whether any Defense Department money was channeled
through the account during the
October 1984-October 1986
period when most direct U.S.
military aid to the Contras was
prohibited.
Yellow Fruit operated as a
front company called Business
Security International in Annandale, Virginia , in 1983 according
to military sources . It performed
counterintelligence and security
tasks for secret Army missions ,
including electronic eavesdropping operations against guerillas in
Central America , the sources
said.
Business Security International
was shut down in late 1983 after
allegations of financial misconduct by some members. The Pentagon official , who discussed the
issue on condition that he not be
identified , acknowledged Tuesday that the existence of the Swiss
account had been overlooked during a subsequent Army investigation of the unit.
The Pentagon disclosures,
which confirmed much of the
CBS report Monday night , come

Mullen said , "I do not feel that
students are asking a lot to have
one student representative on the
Curriculum Board ." Mullen
suggested that students might
shed light onto matters of which
faculty may be less familiar.
In response to Mullen , faculty
members Roy Pointer and Barbara Behr said that the decisions
made made by the Curriculum
Board should only be made 6y the
faculty , because they are better
informed on what students need
and are required to have.
Behr further commented on the
decision making by saying that
although some decisions will be
handed down with little input
considered , many other decisions
will be made with the recommendations of the committees in
mind.
One other issue discussed was
the time when the redraft will be
voted on by the faculty . Senior
expressed
Jill
Lipp incott
dissatisfaction over the fact that
no official time was set for
students to react to the document
between the time it is voted on
and the time it is presented to
President Ausprich for final
approval.

specification document.
According to Joseph Quinn ,
purchasing agent for the university, most of the technical
specifications were prepared by
Wayne M. Clickner , the food
management consultant for the
State System of Hi gher
Education.
Quinn said , "Generally, we
had a big evaluation , and we rated
the companies, giving them a certain amount of points for service ,
managers , and commitments of
improvements. At the end , Wood
came out on top. "
Jennie Carpenter , director of
Residence Life, said she was very
pleased with the contract. She
said she wanted a company that
would allow more student input.
"The company will meet with
a general student committee of
on-campus resident students who
use the dining hall more frequently on a bi-weekly basis ,"
Carpenter said.

pany will be running on a fiveweek menu instead of the sixweek menu used now.
Carpenter also wants to provide
more variety in the deli line. She
said ,"I think people are getting
sick of hot dogs everyday in
there. I want to try to get more
hamburgers and other fast food
items in there. It may not be the
most nutritious , but it is what the
kids want. "

BU changes f ood service
by Joseph Cullman
for The Voiec

Beginning June 1 , the Scranton
Commons will have a new dining hall food service. Service
America Corp., who has had the
current contract for the past five
years, will be replaced by the
Wood Company, Pyramid Food
Services Management , Inc., of
Allentown.
The University invited 21 companies to bid on the contract;
ei g ht submitted a bid. The bids
were based on an 88-page

was the new document provides
for a parallel structure of decision
making. That means that the decisions are made by the members
of the higher administration and
handed down to the faculty and
students. Although the standing
committees could make recommendations to the administration ,
their imput doesn 't have any binding impact on the final
decisions.
In response to the lack of input ,
Professor Robert Rosholt said ,
"This is not governance. This is
just a group of people which gets
together and talk. "
Rosholt further explained that
he thinks the new draft is the best
compromise there has been in a
while , but advocated that there
still existed the need for better
representation of students.
Students were in favor of a
movement toward a horizonal
structure for decisionmaking,
which means that the recommendations made by the standing
committees would affect the final
decisions
made
by
the
administration.
One specific example brought
up by students was the exclusion
of a student representative on the
Curriculum Committee.

tions. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye , DHawaii , chairman of the Senate
committee , said he was "sensitive " to Casey 's privacy but the
committee has a "responsibility "
to verify his condition.
As to the Swiss bank account
confirmed Tuesday , the Defense
official said that there was still no
"documentary evidence " that
North and Secord were tied to the
account. But he added that there
is "information " that would lead
us to suspect that they were.
According to CBS , $2.5
million was withdrawn from the
secret account in one day in 1985.
The network reported that the
$75,000 was used to charter a
frei ghter that carried arms to the
Contras , whose U.S. weapons
had been cut off.
The Pentagon official said
Tuesday that it is unknown how

Two of the other schools Wood
Company serves are Allentown
College and Kutztown University. Carpenter said she spoke to
some of the other schools that
Wood Company serves and "they
have nothing but praise for them.
They weren 't the lowest bid but
I feel it was the best choice. "
"It was a good bid , and we're
quite satisfied . It enables us to
keep costs to the students low
while providing quality food ,"
Carpenter added.
Some of the changes Carpenter
hopes to make with Wood Company include providing a menu

Lecture details audit
by John Sweeney
for The Voice

Students received an overview
of the how the state system of
education works and the role of
auditing in special education during a, lecture Thursday night
William Murphy, an educational advisor in the Bureau of
Special Education of the Pennsylvania Department of Education , mentioned the new
Secreta ry of Education in Pennsylvania , Thomas Gilhool , and
cited some of the programs
Gilhool is working with.
The audit , which is conducted
by a team of parents , college ad-

ministration , superintendents ,
principals and the educational advisor , investigates a program
"Basically what we do is a
paper review to make sure
guidelines are being followed ,"
Murphy said
The group makes sure the program is running smooth ly and
goals are being accomplished.
They do this by randomly interviewing teachers and going
through IEP' s and evaluation
papers . There are 29 Intermediate
Units which are audited twice a
year.
The presentation given by
Murphy was sponsored by Intermediate Unit 16.

Another possible idea will be
to make another deli line on the
'B' side of the Commons. "I
always see a long line on 'D' during lunch and they do take in the
most people ," said Carpenter.
Wood Service also plans to extend the hours for lunch and dinner. Carpenter hopes this will
alleviate the rushed feeling many
students get when dining during
peak hours . This will allow
students to come eat during later
hours without worry ing about
missing the entree for the meal.
The contract also calls for
'theme' dinners and events such
as pancake day or make-yourown-taco day , as well as special
meals for holiday s, Carpenter
said.
Carpenter expects to have one
served meal a semester instead of
once a year , at Thanksgiving, as
it is now.
According to Carpenter , the
contract also allots $75,000 to the
University to make renovations in
the Scranton Commons and the
Kehr Union Snack Bar over a
three year period.
Carpenter plans to redecorate

Contra glorification askew
Editor:
After reading Paul Mellon ' s
misrepresentation of the Contra 's, I felt compelled to write a
more factual letter of response. I
have come to realize , especiall y
in the last year , that there exists
an
alarming
number
of
Americans whose only source of
information is the newspaper and
television , and the extent of their
blind faith in the media ' s
misrepresentation is staggering.
Had I read Mr. Mellon 's article last year , I too would probabl y have believed what he
wrote about the Contras.
But w h i l e stud y ing the
Nicaraguan conflict during the
Honors Humanities Seminar last
semester , I became more aware
of and informed about what is actuall y going on in Nicaragua and
how the American public is being mani pulated and misinformed by the politics of the media and
the Reagan Administration.
My research was based mostly on first-hand accounts of journalists living in Nicaragua ,
Nicaraguans , members of the
Sandinistas and members of the
Contras. I cannot guara ntee that
all of my information is 100 percent factual , but at least it
represents a more well-rounded
and fact-based view than did Mr.
Mellon 's Contra glorification.
Since the days of the Spanish
conquest in the 16th Centu ry , and
until the revolution in 1979 , the
Nicaraguan economy had always
been externall y oriented. Foreign
powers were constantl y fighting
for control of the country because
of its strategic location and the

amazing benefits that could be
reaped in the export of such abundant goods as coffee , sugar , cotton , beef and gold.
Nicaragua fell under a
phenomenon known as dependency, a situation in which the
economy of a weaker nation is
externall y oriented and the
government is controlled by national and/or international powers
that benefit from this economic
relationshi p.
The rulers of a dependent
society do not see the common
citizen as a consumer that should
be satisfied , but rather as a source
of cheap and easily exploited
labor. Such was the case in
Nicaragua , where external oppression and exp loitation had
been a way of life for centuries.
The situation steadil y worsened as the U.S. government imposed its dominion first by direct
armed intervention (1912-1933)
and later through the client dictatorshi ps of the Somoza family
(1936-1979).
During this time , the average
Nicaraguan lived in inadequate
housing, ate poorl y, and had little access to education , health
care , and other public services
prior to the 1979 revolution.
Several uprisings against the
puppet , pro-U.S. reg ime occurred in the early 1900' s to rid
Nicaragua of the U.S. forces , but
the Americans could hard ly permit an overthrow and risk losing
the financial support of the New
York bankers.
So, under the pretext of protecting U.S. lives and properties , the
U.S. Marines were sent in and re-

Editor:
The Greek System. Is it competition... is it jealousy ? What has
gone wrong? We always thought
sisterhood meant a common bond
between not onl y sisters of each
sorority , but of the system as a
whole. It is standing behind each
sorority throug h their rise and
fall , which includes when one is
starting to rebuild.
We, the sisters of Delta Epsilon
Beta , don 't understand why, after
semesters of receiving your sympathy and support , are now so
anxious to hurt us. Rumors have
started spreading and questions
have been fly ing. None of which
are accurate and/or called for.
We'd appreciate it if you would
get the facts straight and stop talking off the tops of your heads!!
Each sorority has a different
type of pledging and whether it
be difficult or easy just doesn 't
matter. We don 't pledge a sorority based on that , but on where we
best fit in. Just remember , the
motto is not "follow your
friends " or "follow the easy
pledging, " but "follow your
heart. "
Also , all pledging activities are
private to each sorority and no
one should go around asking
pledges what they are doing or

what they have done in the past
at any time during pledging. It is
that sorority 's business.
We have the best pledge class
we could ask for. Is it fair to to
these girls , who have done
nothing wrong, to be subject to
such bad attitudes? What a fine
impression they are receiving of
the greek system.
We needed a change this
semester , as sororities have in the
past , and we got it. We now have
a group of g irls who have brought
in new ideas and are willing to
help us rebuild. So why try and
ruin that?
We know there are a lot of people out there rooting for us. We
just wish the sororities we thought
were our friends would have the
same positive attitudes. It may not
be any sorority as a whole. It only
takes a few girls with bad attitudes to ruin a good thing .
We hope that in the future any
misunderstandings can be cleared
up before things get out of hand .
We hope that we can all be proud of each other 's pledge classes ,
especially the 37th pledge class of
Delta Epsilon Beta.

The U.S. kept its stronghold on
Nicaragua through the Somoza
reg ime into the 1970' s.
With the abuses of the Somoza
reg ime came the rise of the Sandinist Front of National Liberation (FSLN). Dissent and the
FSLN grew until , in 1978, the
murder of an internationall y
reknowned newspaper editor was
the cata lyst for the war between
the FSLN and the Somoza
dynasty .
In 1979, when the FSLN looked as if it might finally overthrow
the U.S. regime, the U.S. removed Somoza and the Sandinistas
took over.
The Carter Administration , in
an attempt to gain back a hold in
Nicaragua , offered
them
economic aid with strings
attached .
In 198 1, Reagan terminated
what little economic aid there was
and signed a directive authorizing the CIA to spend $19.8
million to create an exile
paramilitary counterrevolutionary
(contra) force in Honduras to
harass Nicaragua.
Althoug h the economy had
been growing under the Sandinistas , the increasing Reagan
attack pushed Nicaragua farther
behind its debt and , by 1984-85 ,
they were forced to turn to the
Soviets for most of their
petroleum needs and later for additional aid.
In short , the Soviet-fearing
U.S. created a self-fulfilling prophecy by forcing the Sandinistas
to turn to the Soviets—it seems the
U.S. can only see events in
Nicaragua without seeing what
caused them.

Editor 's note

An open forum was held
Thursday to allow students and
faculty the opportunity to voice
concern s about the proposed
governance structure for
Bloomsburg University .
The structure is being revised
and will soon be put to a vote of
the faculty for approval.
The governance structure is not
the topic of this note . It should be
because of the importance of this
structure in determining the direction of education at Bloomsburg .
Thoug h approximatel y 15
students attended the forum, most
of these were seniors who will
soon be graduating. Should the
underclassmen at this school have
some interest in the future of their
education and this university , it
is hoped that they will begin to
realize the responsibilities that
come with being a student.

Let's stop legalized murder
Editor:
In response to Bob Bailey 's
editorial , the word morall y defined means the doctrine of right and
wrong, among other similar
definitions.
The problem with your statement "The people concerned
should decide for themselves
whether or not abortion is morally acceptable " is that we all have
diffe rent views of morality .
That rap ist definatel y had different morals than you or I have.
The person living in poverty has
a totally different view of morality than the wealthy person who
has everything he ever wanted.
A person from the big city ,
who is surrounded by rape ,
murder and crime dail y, is certainly going to have a different set
of standards than the person from
a small rural town. •»

Addressing the statement "It 's
a question of quality of life as opposed to just life ," who is to say
what constitutes a quality life?
Surely not the victim of rape with
her damaged mental capacity .
What I view as a quality life will
probabl y not be the same as your
view.
Suppose someone believed the
mentally retarded don 't live a
quality life , but rather just life.
Should we terminate the entire
population of mentally retarded .
That , like aborted , unwanted
pregnancies , reeks of the
holocaust.
While we are at it , let 's enforce
euthanasia and for that matter, do
away with senior citizens. Sure-

A flea and
no parking
Editor:
I realize that complaints about
the parking situation have become
the norm in The Voice, and some
may even say trite .
However , before this situation
is put to rest , at least one more
aspect of the parking problem
here at Bloomsburg should be
addressed.
week ,
the
This
past
Bloomsburg Players presented
the play A Flea in Her Ear."
Desp ite good reviews and
publicity , turnout was not nearly
as it should have been. One problem is that people have such a
difficult time getting a parking
space up here that they decide not
to come.
What I really don 't understand
is why for all the Artist Series
shows and programs parking is
restricted after 5 p.m. around
campus so there is ample parking
for the patrons wanting to see
these programs.
I believe there is lacking on the
part of the individuals who do not
decide to provide the same
courtesy to those wishing to see
the school' s own productions.
Many students and faculty
members devote much time and
work to putting a show on in
Haas. The least the school could
do is to show the same respect for
its own productions as it does for
outside productions . I sincerely
hope something will be done
about this problem in the future.

ly they are not living a quality
life. They have only raised ,
taught , fed , nurtured and loved us
to the point where we can take
care of ourselves. What kind of
a moral society would we have if
we extinguished these lives, Bob?
Finall y, Bob, you totally avoided the ten-year-old's description
of abortions. Saline abortions are
injections of salt into the fetus '
sac , resulting in a miscarriage of
the fetus.
The fetus ' skin is shriveled up
and burned black like the skin of
a burned chicken wing on a charcoal grill.
Another method you eluded to
is to enter the womb and
dismember the fetus. Then , with
a suction device , suck the
dismembered parts out. The parts
are then put back together , like
a child's puzzle , to make sure

there is nothing left inside the
womb to cause infection.
Both these methods t'ake place
during the first trimester. There
a-re a host of other methods. The
problem is that people think of
abortion and only think of a terminated pregnancy . They never
see or hear of the gruesome, inhumane techniques used. Maybe
if you did , Bob , you wouldn 't be
pro-choice , pro-abortion.
Society has an interest jn its
members and thus restrictions
must be put on them. That is why
abortion is not just an individual's
decision but a decision that affects
everyone. Unfortunatel y, Bob ,
the Supreme Court agreed with
you in their decision of Roe vs.
Wade and as a result , millions of
murders are committed every
year , LEGALLY.

Give us Good Friday
Editor:
First , I would like to make it
extremely clear that I believe in
attending classes. I paid for them.
I chose to take them. I want to be
there .
Secondly, I do not look for excuses to miss classes (e.g. "...the
sun was out for the first time in
six weeks " or "...I was out too
late the ni ght before and won 't
recover until next week, by which
time I'll be in a similar condition ,
with a similar excuse "); if I miss
a class , something has generally
come up which seriously prevents
or deters my presence in class.
However , there is one day
which Bloomsburg University ,
even though State run , has chosen
to ignore . I am referring to Good
Friday .
I know , I know , they say that
it will cut into the session , that it
will take time away from the
students ' learning experience.
They say that it interrupts the
week.
How dare Christ have the gall
to choose to die for the world on
a Friday . Better he had chosen a
Monday and not inconvenienced
the administrative , bureaucratic
Ones. Does the statement
"Render unto Caesar what is
Caesar 's, but render unto God
what is God' s" sound familiar?
Then there is the inadequacy of
the administrative rationale—oh

yes , there is an attempt at rationalizing if you happen to stop
arid think about it. However , the
system is counting on the fact that
many won 't and the people who
do chance to think about it probably won 't question the logic or
the values upon which they base
their logic.
There are viable possibilities.
We were given ten days for
spring break. Why not subtract
one day from there and give us
Good Friday ?
If that is not palatable , why not
give us Good Friday and take the
extra day at the beginning of the
semester that is designated for
settling in and buying books?
Not to insult anyone 's intelligence, but lo and behold , we
could even add a day to the beginning or end of the semester.
Any administration which condones and allows professors to
cancel classes for seminars ,
which were held to instruct professors on the art of being better
educators in the classroom , can
certainly observe Christian tradition and allow students to exercise the reli gious freedom that
they are guarenteed .
Give them the privilege to
honor the most solemn and sacred
day of the year , the-day Christ
died.

Possible erosion closes bridge

by Lisa Cellini

Staff Writer

The East Bloomsburg Brid ge
was recently closed pending further investigation of possible pier
erosion , according to the Press
Enterprise.
Erosion of th ree to five feet
around the second pier from the
Bloomsburg side caused local
authorities to close the bridge on
April 9.
Divers were unable to examine

possible scouring damage lasl
week because of continuous rains
that flooded the river.
On Tuesday and Wednesday ,
conditions were safe enoug h foi
divers to be lowered into the
water to check the pier footings.
A remote control video camera
called the ROVER was also used to examine the state of the
brid ge , but m u r k y waters
prevented its effectiveness.
A report of brid ge conditions
will not be available for several

days. If the extent of the damage
is as great as some authorities
fear , travelers will have to wait
until the new brid ge is completed
in October and continue using the
detour to the Catawissa Brid ge.
According to BU student Warren Boyer who lives at Wonderview , "the detour probabl y adds
ten minutes to the tri p to school. "
Karen Wondaloski of BU also
added . "Of course it ' s a hassle ,
but at least I' m alive considering
the Milton Bridge incident. "

about , " Horstmann said.
Poplawsky believes the benefits
are on several different levels.
"The students are exposed to
the process of discovery, teaching
them to become critical thinker s .
It is research in progress in their
own disci p line. "
There are also field benefits ,
such as publishing the results.
"Contributing to a body ol

knowledge exposes it to criticism
and replication. "
Pop lawsky said the reason he
is researching rats is to improve
human condition.
"The fault of the basic researcher is working onl y the face
value of the e x p e r i m e n t , "
Pop lawsk y said. "You have to
believe it hel ps humans , to bettar understand human behavior. "

pulsive behavior , such as washing
your hands many times , "
Poplawsky said.
Now the team is study ing what
central mechanism in the brain influences fear. A few days ago, the
rats were given very minor
shocks , comparable to "rubbing
a foot on a rug. "
"To the rats , it is an adversive
learning situation. If they 're
afraid , they won't be active. They
freeze ."
The rats are observed for a
half-hour to see if they will move
back and forth . Poplawsky finds
that the brain-damaged rats learn
very well.
"One explanation is that since
they 're not afraid , their concentration is better ," Poplawsk y
said.
A conceivable human application is understanding how fear is
a motivator in behavior , such as
in phobias , which are abnormal
fears , and the total lack of fear ,
seen in psychopaths.
"If a way is found to decrease
fear in rats , clinical psychologists
may be able to come up with suggestions to decrease fear in
humans. "
The professor said that there
has been no final analysis of the
data because the team is still in
the process of collecting
information.
According to Poplawsky, the
rats are treated well , given water
freel y and enough food to maintain their body weight. He stressed that he does not give the rats
strong shocks .
His three student assistants are
an integral part of the team . They
get involved in every aspect of
research , including literature
research , collecting data , and
analyzing the information.
Senior Terry Horstmann , who
has worked with Poplawsky since
September , finds the research to
be very interesting.
"You learn a lot about the inside things you never knew

1984 and 1985 by the Army and

He was unable to say whether
some of the funds might have
been diverted into the Swiss account. "It was something that
was so carefull y hidden from

Golden , who is employed as an

have signed without understanding what he was doing, the official said. Golden was reported
to be cooperating with the Justice

In 1983 , Golden helped bring

Upward Bound students get a head start
by Angela Piccinli
for The Voice

Joel Weible as Sam and Lori Antonio as Sally in the play "Moon "
directed bv .Jefferv Morgan.(Voice photo bv Alexander Schillemans)

Two plays atypical
of other dramas
A pair of one act p lays written
in the 1960s and focusing on the
conflicts involved in close relationshi ps will be presented in the
F o r u m in the M c C o r m i c k
building as part of the theatre
department ' s independent study
program.
"Moon, " written by Robert
Heide and directed by Jeffrey
Morgan, and "Birdbath , " written by Leonard Melfi and
directed by Joel Weible, debut
toni g ht and run throug h Saturday
with curtain time of 8 p .m.
If the two shows have anything
in common, it is the fact that both
break the traditional mode of
drama and delve into themes and
concepts previousl y unexp lored.
"In the sixties , there was a
revolt against 'safe ' drama , "
Morgan says. "Those types of
shows weren 't relevant anymore .
The sixties was a time of searching and a time of anger. What
these plays try to do is exp lore
that anger and frustration. "
Thoug h the shows focus princi pall y on relationshi ps , the story
line does not rel y on the tradi tional boy-g irl conflict, but on
other types.
" 'Birdbath ' basciall y exp lores
problems people face in a relationshi p, " Weible says. But, he
added , do not be fooled by the
fact that the show was written in
the sixties.
"These problems. " Weible
says, "even exist in current
times. They are not just the ob-

vious male and female conflcits ,
but also things like motherdaug hter problems. "
In "Birdbath , " Steve Sunderlin
play s the disillusioned Frankie , a
young man who meets Velma , a
frag ile young woman played by
Diana Eves , for the first time.
The action is focused on the feelings of two people who were
seeming ly strangers to each
other.
"Moon " explores the lives and
dreams of two alienated couples
in their journey through violence ,
in search of hope.

On this day , my nei ghbors at

they always are when the sun

my trek to class and noticed a
beautiful '67 Buick , also in the
familiar red . A blue MG cruising

memories.
I once had a convertible much
like the MG , a sporty little reareng ined Fiat Spider. My buddies
called it the Bond Buggy , a twoseater with a maroon paint job .
By owning the Bond Buggy, I
think I began to understand why
convertibles are so popular.

As a departure from my howto articles and reviews , I would
like to consider an automotive
p henomenon , the convertible.
I was walking around our campus today (Tuesday) and noticed
the abundance of top less cars invading our cold-weather capital.
Where do they all come from? I

Ann Bond , advisor of the newly formed alumni group says that
along with word of mouth , many
students just happen to notice the
U pward Bound sign on the door
and come in and talk about their
experiences with the program.
"The alumni group was approved last December , " says
Bond , "Sy lvia Lawrence who
student teaches now , worked hard
to get the program started . "

The alumni would also like to
get a Big Brother/Big Sister program initiated for the incoming
Upward Bound freshman. Each
member would write to the new
student over the summer and in
the fall , help them adjust to campus life.
Other goals of the program include fundraisers , scholarshi ps ,
and free tutorial service. "We
would also like to see the alumni
active in recruiting hig h school
students into the Upward Bound
program , " states Bond.
With about 30 members , the
Upward Bound Alumni program
is making progress.. "The more
peop le we have , the more we can

She adds that , "It 's not only for
those who were Upward Bound
students , but it 's for anyone who

As far as the type of shows to

Though the shows will be performed back-to-back , two

and assistant director Patrick

"When I was an Upward
Bound student during my hi gh
school summers at Bloomsburg
University , " says sophomore
Deb Marconi , "college students
had no idea why hi gh school kids
were taking classes at the university . "
Marconi , who comes from
Ringtown , a small community
nearby, wanted something to occupy her summers . Participating
in the Upward Bound program
gave her an eventful summer, and
at the same time hel ped prepare
her academicall y for her next
school year.
Althoug h Marconi did not
receive credits for attending
classes , during the six week class
periods she learned a lot. "U pward Bound was a good experience for me , and when I
learned about the Upward Bound
alumni program , I decided to see
what they were about , "says
Marconi.
The Upward Bound alumni
program involves BU students
who were in BU' s Upward
Bound program or similar programs at other colleges or universities.
For Yolanda Smith , who was
part Oi Drexel University 's Upward Bound program , it was also
a positive experience. "The program gave me opportunities to

see colleges , participate in
cultural activities , and at the same
time prepared me for school. She
mi g ht not have taken part in these
events had she not been in Upward Bound.
Floy d Walters , who has been
an Upward Bound instructor for
the past six years , speaks hi ghly
of the program. Walters explains
that there is a totall y different atmosphere and approach in the six
week summer program as compared to a regular school year.
"It 's a hig hl y academic program ,
but also informal , " says Walters ,
"Students call teachers by their
first names , which is something
I wouldn 't feel comfortable with
during the regular school year. "
Walters has attended some of
the U pward Bound a l u m n i
meetings and feels that they will
provide much help to the Upward

tainly is not the collection of insects you gather in your teeth ,
thoug h there is an education to be
gained here . What , then , makes
the convertibles so desirable and
so darn fun to drive?
In my opinion , it is the fact that
when you are riding in a convertible everyone is looking at you
and wishing they were you.
Debate as you will , this is the true
answer. Convertibles have that
special appeal that turns heads. I
know from experience that
ragtops g ive the d r i v e r a
superiority attitude over all other
motorists.
As with the Bond Buggy , it did
not matter that I had only a .9 liter
motor and the power to pass
nothing but the slowest VW Beetle. I didn 't care . I had a convertible. I know that other open-car
owners feel the same way ,
whether or not they admit it.
Thank Mopar for bring ing this
feeling back to us.
A few years ago , Chrysler reintroduced the ragtop to the
American market. It was based
on the K-cars , the Aries and
Reliant. It was the first Americanmade convertible since the early
seventies when the insurance
companies became tired of making settlements on stolen radios
and other desirables. At that time
it appeared that open cars were
a thing of the past.
Now look at them. There is a
convertible version of many of
the car models available in the
United States. We have ragtop
Japanese models for the first
time. Renault offers its family-car
Alliance model in topless form ,
transforming transportation into
fun in the sun. For the driver who
loves snagging mosquitoes out of
the air with his dentures at high
velocity , Ford offers its Mustang
G.T. and Chevrolet has its for-

midable Corvette . Open cars are
regaining the popularity they once
had.
One of the most spectacular
convertibles was the famous Ford
retractable. The 1956 retractable
was actually a hardtop which , by
use of creative engineering and
plenty of hardware , mechanically opened the trunk and stored the
top there . The top did not fold ,
bend or mutilate , it just went
there .
The muscle cars of the sixties
were all offered in soft-top versions with only a very few exceptions. These are very collectable
today, but back then onl y a
minority of buyers found the added weight of the convertible option worth the performance loss.
Yes , convertibles are heavier than
hardtops.
The roof of a car is an important structu ral piece. By removing the top, additional crossmembers and heavier frames are
needed below to make up for the
loss. That is wh y, though , they
are beautiful to look at , ragtop
GTOs , Cyclones , Chevelles ,
'Cudas and others are not as
quick as their hard top counterparts . Hardtops are a little faster
but topless is the onl y way to go
in the summer.
It looks like the convertibles
are here to stay and I think we can
all be grateful for that . They are
the most fun you can have in a car
with the wheels tu rning and not
too bad when the wheels stop on
a moonlit ni ght. Sorheday I may
even buy another. Oh , yes ! I
almost forgot , the Bond Buggy
retired after picking up an
antlered , white-tailed hitchhiker.
Anyone wishing to collect for
recycling metal should contact

You 've heard of bird watchers,
clock watchers, and people watchers. But I'd like to discuss an
entirely different category of people. They are what I'd refer to as
mailbox watchers.
Yes, that's right , mailbox watchers. And I bet there isn 't
anyone out there who can honestly say that they have never been
a mailbox watcher.
A mailbox watcher is a person
who is subjected to endless days
of looking outside a window and
anxiously awaiting the mailman's
arrival.
I can remember familiar days
of straining my ear to listen for
the sound of the mailman's truckthe truck that alway s went by
without stopping at my house.
The reason I'm writing this is
because I know that soon enough
I, along with most other BU student , will be forced to await the
arrival of those second semester
grades.
I can see it now . On the day
that I arrive back in my
hometown , sure enough I will
check the mailbox for my grades.
Of course I know that they won 't
be there, but I feel compelled to
look anyway .

And needless to say , more than
one peek a day in the mailbox is
not always enough. Why .who
knows, maybe there's the remote
chance that a friendl y carrier
pigeon found a quicker route and
delivered the grades. This kind of
reasoning leads mailbox watchers
like myself to check the mailbox
routinely.
Often , students who are expecting their grades to be the pits can
be seen rushing hurridly 'to greet
the postman. Even if they know
their parents will eventually see
the sad results of a fun-fulfilled
semester, there is something
about being the first to glance at
the disasterous results that eases
the pain.
This manic routine usually lasts
until grades arrive a couple of
weeks after the semester has ended. And usually the only good
that has come from the practice
of constantly waiting for the mail
is that you and your postman on
a first name basis.
But , it is not only the students
who foresee bad grades who can
be found checking to see if the
mailbox flag is up or down. No,
receiving that pink transcript is a
constant thought on the good
students mind too. For some
reason, having the transcript and
actually being able to look down

Reflection of freshm an days

Visitation guidelines
to benef it roommates
by Dana Pettinato
for The Voice

It was 11:25 Sunday night
when suddenly the phone rang,
and Sue Archbold received a long
distance phone call. The visitation
hours quickly passed by Archbold, a student living in Elwell
Hall , while her boyfriend was
still in her room.
Archbold was written up for
signing her boyfriend out of the
dorm at 11:40 p.m. "I didn 't
even think about the time while
I was on the phone . I couldn 't
believe I got written up for a 10
minute mistake, " says Archbold.
The visitation hours at BU are
enforced. The visitors are to be
signed out of the dorms by 11:30
p.m. on week nig hts . On
weekends, there is an extended
visitation policy in which a visitor
is allowed to spend anytime in the
residence halls from Friday
through Sunday evening at 11:30
p.m. Staying in the rooms does
not include cohabitation.
"Cohabitation is when the
visitor , of the opposite sex , actually sleeps in the student ' s
room , " says Linda Fyla, assistant
director of Residence Life. This
is prohibited.
Ed Valovage, resident director
of Luzerne Hall , says, "The interest of the Residence Life staff
is in the other roomate. " If a
guest is infringing on the rights
of the roommate, such as privacy
and an academic atmosphere, that
is where cohabitation becomes
unlawful.
Valovage also wants the
students to know that they "are
just trying to insure the rights of
the student, not to impose values

and morals on anyone ."
Mike Coates , a resident advisort in Luzerne Hall , says, "It
is very hard to enforce the
cohabitation policy . The onl y
way to enforce it would be to
knock on everyone's door to
check on them. "
Lisa Diefenderfer , one of the
resident advisors in Schuy lkill
Hall , a co-ed residence hall , says,
"I constantly find guys in the
girls ' rooms, and a typical excuse
is 'he 's just leaving . ' "
One problem with extended
visitation is the opposite sex using the bathroom facilities. "No
student has come in to Residence
Life to say that there' was a problem with people of the opposite
sex using their bathroom , or we
would do something about
it ,"says Zyla. But Pam Plimpton ,
a resident advisor in Columbia
Hall mentions, "There have been
several problems with guys using
the girls ' bathrooms. "
Robert Norton , the dean of student life , says "The visitation
policy has not changed in quite a
few years. " Norton also adds that
"parents like to know that their
sons and daughters are protected
by the more strict visitation
policy ."
Students are constantly discussing a more liberal set of visitation
rules. Zyla states , "Residence
Life is open to suggestions about
any of the visitation policies.
Students have to realize that the
requests have to be realistic. "
Valovage claims that "with the
policy the way it is now , the
students best interest is of primary
concern , and that . is the
philosophy of Residence Life. "

at the letter gVades makes a person finally realize that they did
not spend an entire semester study ing in vain. When the grades
finally do arrive , they have visual
proof to attest to their efforts.

While I am impatient when it
comes to receiving my final
grades , I do realize that professors need the time to correct
those finals that everyone spent
the last week of the semester
cramming for. But I can 't help
from remembering the good old
days of grade school when report
cards were handed out in
homeroom. Back then , there was
no guessing game of when the
grades arrived. But then again ,
back in the good old days we
didn 't take finals either.

Band
from page 4

The band prefers performing
their own material rather than
play ing the role of "human
jukebox. "
Redeemed 's opening track titled , Mask in the Mirror, sets the
mood for the rest of the cassette
from the first drumbeat. Fastpaced playing and a catchy tune
make this one of the bands most
memorable songs.
The following song, The Blessing, written by Reese and BU
graduate Erik Kehs, tells the
somber tale of a young girl' s
desire to be forgiven for a terrible sin. Buzzing guitars and
throbbing bass combine to make
this song another good example
of
the
group ' s musical
craftmanship.
The remaining four tracks , All
My Skeletons, Town Fool, Roll
the Bones , and Dreams of Bluer
Sky , all exemplify The Blessing's
consistent sound. Powerful instrumentation and creative
songwriting throughout all six
tracks bring a unified feel to
Redeemed.
If The Blessing 's redemption is
what you think you need , their
cassette is available by mail for
$5 postpaid, from: The Blessing,
Box 1491 , Bethlehem , PA ,
18016-1491. For an even better
sample of The Blessing's powerful brand of rock'n 'roll , they can
be seen and heard at Airport
Music Hall's Club Pascal tonight
at 9 p.m. Posters will be placed
on campus giving directions to
the concert .

As the semester draws to a
close, I look back with fervent
heart and regrettable knowledge
of the past five years as an
undergraduate .
So many things have been a
part of the "freshman experience" as the naivete of

Men 's lacrosse club falls 2-1
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

Joe W olf of Wyoming
Seminary didn 't travel over an
hour to lose. He assisted on the
first goal and scored the other for
his team to send the Bloomsburg
University men 's lacrosse club to
a disappointing 2-1 loss yesterday
at Nelson.
Playing without the services of
excellent goalie Brian Reddish ,
the Huskies had to throw Mark
Burkholdcr in at the last minute
to play even though he never
played goalie before .
"He did very well , they scored
on him earl y, , but didn 't get
anything after he had a chance to
settle down. He had six saves , "
Coach William Acierno said after
the game.
"The defense did a tremendous
job today with a green goalie. I
thoug ht Mike Taggart was going

to score a goal the way he was
play ing. He , Niel Weiler and
Greg Tobias all alli gned
themselves well today on
defense , " Acierno continued .
The game 's first goal came
quick onl y two minutes into the
first quarter as Steve Sours scored
on an assist from pesky Joe Wolf.
Minutes later Wolf scored
himself unassisted to put Wyoming up 2-0 at the end of one.
Bloomsburg 's Chuck Zwicker
then answered back for the
Huskies as he scored onl y 25
seconds into the second quarter.
That pulled BU to within one 2-1
and that is where the scoring
ended.
The Bloomsburg offense seemed to strugg le sli ghtl y as at least
five of their shots hit off the
crossbars and bounced away.
"May be we ahoukl have aimed
for the crossbars and then they
would have gone in , " mused

Acierno.
"It was a tough game to lose
because every time we got our offense going we would lose
momentum through a missed pass
or bad throw , we really beat
ourselves today ," he continued .
"We seem to play to the caliber
of the team that we are play ing,
for example , against Muhlenburg, a much superior team than
Wyoming, they challenged us and
we beat them (7-6), unfortunately today we played below their
(W yoming 's) level and we lost. "
he concluded .
Acierno also noted that he
thoug ht that Jeff Clouser played
an exceptonal game , was a very
agressive middie and is always
consistentl y good .
The lacrosse club now moves
to 6-4 and will be hosting Penn
State University a week from today at home in their final game
of the season.

the qualifiers as he was able to
capture a fourth place in the 5000
meter run. He ran the race in a
time of 15:26.
Dan Young also ran an outstanding 5000 meters , running it in
16:14 , good enoug h for seventh
place , while Larry Meckes ran a
16:58 in the same race , but , unfortunatel y neither was able to
qualif y.
Dan Netting, however , in running the steeplechase (3000 meter

run) was good enough for second
place and the men 's team 's second state conference meet qualify ing time.
Competing in the 10000 meter
run , Crai g Koch took third place
in the event running it in sli ghtl y
over 33 minutes. His time enabled him to qualif y for the state
meet.
B l o o m s b u r g 's own John
Walker returned to form as he
was able to hit 6'5" in the high

jump and land him a spot in the
state meet.
While Bruce Linton , who
already has qualified for states in
the decathlon , also qualified for
the tri ple jump as he took third
with a jump well in excess of 44
feet.
The men 's team hurt by injury
and illness is now 7-2 on the
season.
The women 's team had an
outstanding effort out of its 40G

meter relay team. The team of
Carol yn Brady , Noele Collura ,
Ly n n e R i t z and M a r i a n n e
Fidishin were able to pull out a
first p lace victory in the event
Anne Murray then teamed up
with Collura , Ritz and Fidishin to
take a fourth in the 1 600 relay.
Ritz and Fidishin also had
qualif y ing runs in the 100 and 200
meter dashes respectivel y.

In the past year you may have
noticed a walking mountain on
the Bloomsburg campus and thai
mountain is Al Royster.
Standing six foot four inches
tall , wei ghing in at 275 pounds
and able to run a 4.6 in the 40
yard dash , you wouldn 't exactl y
want' 'this particular : Tiiotihtain
come tumbling down on you.
Royster plays defensive end for
the Bloomsburg University football team , and in his first season
here , onl y his second year of
football ever , he has made a
definite impact on the defense.
Al is like a diamond in the
roug h , and because of his size ,
speed and strength , al has the
potential to become the most
dominant defensive player which
this league has seen in years. All
he needs is some game experience to obtain that level of
play ," said head coach Pete
Adrian , someone who expects
great things of Royster.
The 23 year old Royster didn 't
play his first year of football until his senior year at Keyport Hi gh
School in Keyport , New Jersey.
"I didn 't come out until my
senior year because I didn ' t like
having to practice. " exp lains

Royster.
After hi gh school graduation ,
Royster bypassed college football
and worked for a few years.
"I finall y decided to try out for
the New York Giants , but I didn 't
make the cut because I lacked
playing experience. So one of the
coaches said I' m still young , so
I should go to college and play
some ball ," Royster said .
Chris ; Gross is a long time
friend of Royster and plays defensive tackle for Bloomsburg . He
said , "I told Al that he would
reall y like our progra m and that
he should come up and check the
school out. "
Well , check the school out is
exactl y what he did and Royster
said he liked the program and the
school' s atmosp here so that is
why he decided to come to
Bloomsburg.
In just his first year at
Bloomsburg , Royster finished
ninth in the points standings with
93. The points are based on
tackles (55 - 29 unassisted) ,
fumbles , both caused ( 1) and
recovered ( 1) and sacks (1) .
Gross exp lained that Royster
has allowed the flow of the
defense to stack on one side
because teams won 't run to his
side.
Royster said , "I really would

like to improve on my pass rush
and would like ot lead the conference in sacks and tackles next
year. "
With the physical attributes that
Royster possesses along with the
hi gh expectations of coach Adrian
those goals seem very obtainable
all the time with th e New York
Giants in his si ghts.

one of our objectives also is to
keep this building occupied ,
whether it be with games or concerts or Bill y Graham. "
"We want to get the game
here , refine the techni ques involved and entertain the people of
Denver , " Shlenker said. "We
want to listen to the people of
Denver carefull y, and put things
in and around the game that
would add to its dimension. I

think this is going to be a whole
lot of fun , and I' m pleased that
we got what I beleive to the best
schedule. Three of the four ESPN
games involve Denver , and I
want Denver to continue to get all
the national attention it can. "
League founder Jim Foster and
former Denver Gold coach
Mouse Davis , director of football
operations for the new league , are
to attend Thursday ' s press
conference.

' 'Tell them to bring a jock and
some sneakers and come on
down , " said Shlenker.
Details of the tryout and a
name-the-team contest will be announced at a Thursday press conference , Shlenker said.
The Denver team is to open its
six-game schedule June 20 at the

league on comp letion of the
preview season. And y Shlenker
said that the Nuggets organization 's commitment this summer
was "minimal risk and , frankl y,
minimal reward . We 'll evaluate
the situation in September and
decide then if we want to pursue
it further. "
'Everyone of the arenas involved this summer collectivel y
negotiatedwith the league to share
in the risks and rewards to make
it work ," Shlenker said. "Hook
at it as pretty much of a show-byshow deal this summer , much
like a concert promotion. Beleive

be to see that the building, the ci-

Dedication
is the key
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

Bloomsburg University
has a great number of excellent sports programs.
The field hockey and
softball teams are consistentl y in the top five ol
the nation.
The w r e s t l i n g team
finished the year with an
impressive fifth place at
nationals.
The young basketball
teams both showed signs
that they will be forces to be
reckoned with in the near
future .
The football team lost two
games, both to the two
teams that would play for
the
conference
champ ionshi p.
Even the soccer team was
able to overcome a horrible
start to finsh over .500 for
the season.
What all these teams have
in common are the
dedicated athletes that practice every day and give so
much to each sport .
What our very successful
track and field teams do not
have in common with these
teams is the commitment of
all the athletes.
At first 1 was not convinced that there was a problem
with dedication on the team.
I mean , they were still winning weren 't they ? Well
there was a problem.
When you start to get the
results of each meet and see
the same names at the top
every meet and some names
that you onl y see every
other meet or once and
done , you start to realize
that somebody is getting
lazy .
Let me clarify myself. I
know that there are very
many of those members
who put a lot of time into
their events and believe me.
it shows.
People like Bruce Linton ,
John Walker , Brenda Bisset
and Jill Cicierski are examp les of these hard working members (there are
more , too).
These veteran members
are good examples to the
younger team members
such as Laurie Alexander
and Anne Murray .
It 's just hard for a person
from the Lehigh Valley ,
where track and field is as
bi g as wrestling (if not bigger) and is taken very
seriously, to believe that a
group of hi ghly talented
athletes take their skills for
granted and do not work to
improve them.
Some valley high schools
were so up on track and
field , that they were disappointed if they didn 't go
undefeated or send at least
four people to states.
I wish that this was the
same attitude that every
member felt. If it was they
would be unbeatable , but
it 's not.
This is the main reason
for my concern with
Bloomsburg 's team. Their
combined record s are 13-2
and still Coach Ron Puhl insists that they are always
short-handed .
He must not be content
with just winning the meets,
I guess , he must actually
asp ire to destroy his
opponents .
He would have made one
hell of a good coach in the
Lehigh Valley .

The recurring question of just when to retire
by Rich Kauter
for The Voice-

Sitting in front of a television
set , in a sports arena, or a
stadium , young boys and girls
everywhere dream of making
sports their profession.
This world where most are hasbeens by 35 is attractive not
merel y because of the glory and
fame that these short term fantasies provide.
The sports world rarel y
prepares its professionals for the
quick climb , the whirlwind attention and especiall y their rap id fall.
This decline from greatness to
nothingness is a pathetic si ght ,
one that every athlete is determin-

ed to avoid and at which every
admirer cringes.
At the peak of an athletes
career , he is surrounded by the
media and admiring fans , seeking his time , picture, autograp h
and what he thinks is important.
What he says is quoted. People
want to know what he eats , wears
and likes.
He beg ins to think that this is
what his life will be forever. He
becomes used to the feeling of
triump h , raising his hands in a
sign of victory to the cheering of
the crowd and being carried off
the field on his teammates
shoulders . They raise him hi gh in
the air as if he were a king on a
pedestal.

What happens when the
spotli ght fades? The cheers are
now heard only in his memories.
Slowl y, too slowl y, the athlete
realizes that he is replaceable, that
his record s are breakable. His
pride takes a severe blow , one
from which some never recover.
Mohamad Ali thoug ht he was
less human than most , he felt he
could stop age . As his body got
heavier and his moves slower, in
his mind he was still the beauty
boy with the moves of a butterfly and the sting of a bee. To
others , he appeared foolish.
Likewise to see Pete Rose , a
player who was admired if not for
his talent , at least for his pride ,
all but beg for a team to let him

play was as painful to his fans as
it was perhaps for him.
Then we have the saga of Franco Harris. Perhaps Harrte should
have taken a lesson from his
teammate Terry Bradshaw , who
after an injury , was not even
taken on team trips, a player who
holds many rushing redords and
who led his team to four Super
Bowl championships, is now not
as versatile and therefore not as
valuable. Harris felt he could still
hold out for big bucks. Quickly
he found himself without a
chance to break the all-time rusing record .
Whose fault is it? The team 's?
The media 's? Ours?
Everybody loves a winner.
These individuals who as children

sat and idolized others who
dedicated their lives to their sport ,
eating, sleeping their dreams ,
must now step aside and let the
new and young through. They
must be willing to become ghosts
of nostalgia. It is only when they
hold onto the end that their
memories are tainted with
embarrassment.

runs. Two more were added by
Kim Vogel. Also scoring for BU
was Sue Kocher, Cindy Freeland,
Kim Fey , Lori Pisco , and Donna Grauppe.
Bloomsburg opened up the
game scoring three runs in the
first inning . They added one in
the second, and four more in the
third inning. The Huskies finished the scoring with three runs in
the seventh inning.

Every would-be star should be
forced to read a poem called ''To
An Athlete Dying Young. " It
states that it is better to die in the
midst of glory than to live to see
the glory fade away .
I won 't go so far as to say that
the athletes should die young, just
that maybe they should, well ,
retire?

Softball survives a tough
weekend, dropping 3 of 5

The Bloomsburg University men's lacrosse club was defeated yesterday by Wyoming Seminary by a 2-1
score. The Huskies were plagued by poor shooting as at least five of their shots hit the crossbar an bounced

times over the weekend as the

Things began to look a little bit
brighter as BU swept the Warriors, with two shut-out victories.

as they prevailed in a 1-0 victory.
Susan Kocher picked up the wellearned win.
The second game was all
Bloomsburg as they routed East
Stroudsburg 1 1-0. Kate Denneny
led the Huskies as she scored four

Huskies had to make the tri p to
Shippensburg Uninversity where
they were swept by the Red
Raiders .

did not have her best stuff as she
absorbed a 7-1 loss. The only
Bloomsburg run was recorded by
Lori Guitson in the sixth inning .

Huskies on the short end of
another 7-1 score . This time,
though , it was Gina Lindenmuth

The Huskies' only run was scored
by Jean Miller in the second
inning .
For the season , the Huskies
stand at 25-7 .
