Greeks mad about hazing law

By Karen Reiss
Senior News Editor
More than 80 perspective pledges
heard speeches by presidents from the
eight fraternities on Thursday night ,
kicking off the traditional rush period.
However, this tradition may be one
of the few remaining to Greeks after
the new University Policy Statement
on Hazing goes into effect.
The policy, still in draft form as of
Friday afternoon , was handed to all
fraternity and sorority presidents and
pledge educators 'during a meeting
Wednesday night. According to the
Press-Enterprise, the meeting caused
"disgruntled reactions" from many of
the attendees.
"The reason people were upset,"
President of the Interfraternity Council Jeff Smith said, "is that there was
no student involvement in drafting the
policy. Smith added that on Thurday
night, after the president 's talk, a second meeting was held to clear up the
miscommunications that occured earlier.
Administrators who attended both
meetings were Dr. Jerrold Griffis,
vice president for studen t life, Robert
Norton , dean of studen t life, and Lori
Barsness, newly appointed advisor
for the Greek system.
"I came away from it with a good
feeling," Smith said. "They care. The
fact is, it 's law. The hazing bill came
about because of the tragic things that
happen ."
The policy contains 27 limitations
that prohibit pledging actions such as
consuming alcohol or drugs, kidnapings, subjecting an individual to cruel
or unusual psychological conditions,

personal servitude, depriving pledges
the opportunity for sufficient sleep,
perm itting the hitting of pledges/assoinferior
ciates , calling pledges
names, etc. Also, according to Smith ,
it eliminates some of the more traditional pledging activities such as carrying paddles, bricks, and pillows,
and wearing hats , pins, armbands, and
barets.
"The policy contains what the
schools thinks are examples of hazing
to protect us from breaking the law ,"
Smith said. "Personall y, I would have
felt cheated if I could not have worn
my armband during pledging. "
Pat Berry, president of Beta Si gma
Delta fraternity, expressed his feelings about the carrying of the paddle
at Thursday night 's president 's Uilk.
"This is 21 years of tradition for
Beta Sigma Delta," he said as he
raised his pledge paddle, "and I hope
it will last another 80."
Many of the brothers in attendance
wore their pledge pins, armbands, and
barets, and by their sides, were their
pledge paddles. The Delta Pi fraternity brothers carried bricks, their
"symbols of pride," according to
Todd Talarico.
Brian Horan , president of Zeta Psi
fraternity, stated at that meeting that
"the (Greek) system has been taken
away from us" and has become "an
administrative system."
"We need your support to be the
way we were, not the way the administration wants us to be," he said to the
rushees at the meeting.
. Despite the anger, most of the
speakers expressed Ihe need for unity
and level-headedness.

A study on cooperative educatio
n conducted
by
Bloomsburg
University 's director of cooperative
education found that 85 percen t of the
students surveyed would take advantage of co-ops.
Ruben Britt, director of BU's cooperative education program , now
wants the students, faculty, and administration of Bloomsburg University to know what his office has to
offer.
He wants to increase awareness by
expanding the Cooperative Education
Office's public relations program. He
would also like to produce a video
tape to be used in conjunc tion with the
Admissions Office.
Britt said, "I would like to increase
participation from the academic departments." Currently,only the history, biology, and math/computer
science departments are involved in
cooperative education.
Britt recently completed a study to
determine the number of high school
students in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware who knew what
schools in their area offered cooperative education. Although most students could not identify at least five
schools offering the program , 85 percent said they would participate if
given the opportunity.
"The implication is if they know the
university offers it, this will give them
an outlook in termsof employment. It
gives students a better perspective."
Last Thursday Britt attended a

Cooperative Education Workshop at
the Sheraton Hotel in Danville.
The first keynote speaker, Dr. Larry
Void, is the Director of Learning
Experiences at IUP. He spoke on
"The Benefits of Co-op." He talked
about how cooperative education
benefits from faculty members ' expertise. According to Dr. Void, for
any program to survive it must receive
support from the central administration.
According to Britt, cooperative
education programs also helps with
developing contributions from corporations. "If the business knows a
student did an internship with (that
institution), then they know what the
institution has to offer. They feel
good about donating.":
The second keynote speaker, John
Clipper III, Educational Consultant
for PPL, spoke about what employers
look for at entry level positions.
Because of their cooperative education experience, PPL has been able to
save money by using a pool of co-op
students. By doing this, the company
knows the student's capabilities, and
it saves mem recruitment costs.
Clipper said that both the employer
and the institution benefit from the
program. According to Britt, "PPL
would hire students in co-op, if they
were to take extra courses to make
them well-rounded. The university
can suggest ideas to make things easier for the employer."
He added , "Overall , the feedback
was excellent. A lot of information
was obtained."

"Don 't do anything stup id ," Horan
said to the brothers. "Remain united."
Smith asked the brothers to stand
behind their presidents and "let them
do the leading. "
"You saw leadershi p qualities in
them when you chose them to lead
your fraternities ," he said. "Now let
them lead you. "
Smith said that the Interfraternity
Council and the Intcrsorority Council
will meet with Griffis , Norton , and
Barsness in the next few days to discuss the policy and the possibilities of
regaining some of the lost pledg ing
activities.
"I'm glad they gave us an ear,"
Smith said. " I knew they would. "

Constitutional rights discussed

By Karen Trimbath ISabrina Boston
f o r The Voice
Last Wednesday Dr. Michael A.
Foley delivered a lecture titled "The
Philosophical Origins of American
Constitutionalism" at the Hartlinc
Science Center.
An Associate Professor of Philosophy at Mary wood College, Dr. Foley
told the audience how the Constitutional Convention took ideas from
the Western philosophical tradition
about good government, especially
the ancient
Greek and Roman
schools of thought.
"The Constitution 's central concept is a doctrine in which governmental power is limited by checks
and balance," Foley said. "There 's
something noble about its superhuman quality. It places limitations on
acts of government by a higher law.
This concept was shaped by 1,800
years of thinking."
Dr. Foley cited the ancient Greek
philosophers as the first to propose
the theory of a "higher law."
Aristotle in his Rhetoric said the
principles of equity are permanent
and changeless. It is the written laws

lhat are broken ,"he saiov'The judicial
review of our courts is rooted in Aristotle and Cicero. A piece of legislature must be unjust and unconstitutional if it is inconsistent with the
Constitution , the Higher Law."
Dr. Foley also discussed the Enli ghtenment-era thinkers who had an
impact on the Founding Fathers.
"The influence of Thomas Hobbes
was keenly felt. His conception of the
safety of the people became a supreme
law. In the Declaration of Independance, we have the right to pursue
'life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness.' The government provides
some aspect of security," Foley said.
"James Harrington in his Oceana
emphasized constitutionalism and the
commonwealth. He said government
should be an empire of laws, not men.
il

According to Dr. Foley, if the
Founding Fathers had no familiarity
with political philosophy, there
would be no Constitution.
'The time was rig ht and terribly
eclectic ," he said. "We find many
influences and borrowed ideas from
die very best minds in history. If we

Communication skills lacking

by Don Chomiak Jr.
As a senior at Bloomsburg University, I have had die opportunity to
sample a wide variety of courses. I
have also had the chance to observe a
large number of students who recently
passed through the gates of "Knowledge," into the real world. There is a
disquieting trend that appears to be
developing.

of mine graduated from this institution. Mis area of stud y shal l not be

Mr. Mellon you arc a

First of all , you spoke on the idea of
a communist government agreeing to
share political power with opposing
political factions. You call this impossible. Well , I call it working together, sharing ownership together in
order to achieve a similar goal— in
other words— socialism. And I say

So will the pride of wearing a pin or

Yes, changes are needed ; but to
scrap our entire pledge program is not

Our program encourages unity

Bork in December to counter an unbreakable filibuster. But Bork's tenure would extend only through this
Congress, expiring as Reagan leaves
office. The new President could renominate Bork, or nominate someone
else. A recess appointment would
meaan an immediate opportunity for a
Democratic President.
Eisenhower made three recess appointments (Earl Warren, Potter Stewart, William Brennan). All were
subsequently confirmed. The Senate
passed a nonbinding resolution deploring the procedure. The Senate
was right then for the reason Biden is
irresponsible today. Biden 's exploitation of the process for pohUcal profi t
involves treating coarsely the most
elegant branch of goverment. The
judiciary is the intellectual branch.
The executive and leeislative
branches legitimately can act on motives lhat are validated by simple
power calculatons- - by the pressure
of a majority or a salient faction. The
judiciary must ground its action s in
reasonings about principles.
Bork is the most intellectually distinguished nominee since Felix
Frankfurter (who was nominated by
FDR 48 years ago). His Republican
and Democratic supporters should be
as eager for an intellectually serious
confirmation process as Biden is ea-

He could have, unless the chairman
of the judiciary committee is not prepared to discuss those themes. If not ,
how was he oreoared to oreiudsre Bork
within hours after Bork was nominated ?
Bork will have Democratic supporters. Two judiciary committee
Democrats- -Alabama 's Howell
Heflin , a form er judge, and Arizona's
Dennis DeConcini , who has said he
does not believe in ideological tests
for nominees- -seem likely to resist
being roped into Biden 's herd. Majority leader Robert Byrd, while reserving judgmen t on Bork, has deplored
attempts to make the Bork vote "a lit-

mus test of party affiliation and loyalty."
However , pounding from the right
may hammer Democrats into something like a solid block. Some conservatives organizations not famous for
delicacy are portraying the entire
Democratic Party as Bork's opposition. That is dangerous to Bork, who
will need Democratic votes to stop a
filibuster, if it comes to that. If it does,
his supporters can then adopt
scorched-earth tactics.
The Senate runs on rules that presuppose mutual civility. Biden, the
Oliver North of the confirmation
process, is shredding that civility by
treaUng the Bork nominauon as a
national emergency that licenses his
extremism. If he enlists enough
Northlings to sustain a filibuster and
block cloture. Bork's suooorters can
tie the Senate in knots, making it
impossible for anything debateable
(which almost everything is), to be
acted upon.
Until then, Bork 's supporters
should resist being Bidenized, meaning radicalized. In Animal Crackers,
Groucho Marx asks the musically
minded Chino, "How much do you
charge not to play ?" That is the
question Bork's wisest supporters
should ask some of his other supporters.

A How-To on where to put the garbage and why

by Dave Ferris
Staff Troublemaker
Hypothetical situation. We'll start
with two adjacent countries. In the
fi rst country, called Blatovia , the citizens have for centuries put their garbage out for collection each Tuesday
morning. Ancient tradition requires
that the garbage bags be placed on the
ri ght-hand side of the driveway.

In the neighboring country , the
United Confederation of Altered
States, the populace also has a longstanding ritual of placing the garbage
out for collection each Tuesday morning. However, the law of the Old Ones
dictates that the garbage bags be
placed with reverence on the left-hand
side of the driveway.
The indi genous people of Blatovia
have long viewed the Altie practice of
placing rubbish on the left as an affront to the Blat sovereignty and an
indication of a perverted lifestyle.
The Allies, on the other hand , consider the placement of waste materials
on the right to be nothing short of
sacrilege.
The Blats, seeing that their entire
way of life was being subjected to
religious persecution, built up a large
army and navy. They felt that they
were justified in this, even though
there were no large bodies of water
nearby to operate the navy 's capital
ships, because the Allies were probably planning a sneak attack at any
Ume.
The Allies woke up one morning,
took their garbage bags out to be
placed on the left as was required by
holy law, and noticed with trepidation
that the hated Blats had placed a
number of battleships on rails in the
park on the Blatovian side of the border. Each batdeship was armed with
huge cannon , every gleaming barrel
pointed at an Altered States dwelling.
The Allies had no way of knowing
that they were in no real danger, as the
Blats had no money left and could not
afford ammunition for the big guns.
The Altered leaders called their
citizens to arms. They built an ar-

moured division , but since no armour

LA Times-Washington Post service
MI AMI-Pope John Paul II began his
10-day pastoral visit to the United
States here Thursday and was confronted almost immediately with the
controversial issues and tensions that
have divided U.S. Catholics.
»
In a public exchange of remarks with
President Reagan, who flew with the
first lady to Miami to greet the pope,
John Paul exalted the ideal of the
United States' founding fathers with a
ringing cry of "God bless America"
and , in the words of Abraham Lincoln , the pope called for "a new birth
of freedom " including "the relendess
pursuit of truth. "
But in a meeting with 750 Roman
Cath olic priests shortly after
Reagan 's welcome, John Paul was
politely challenged to consider some
of the American church' s most divisive issues: celibacy among the dwindling number of pri ests, the growing
dri ft of Catholics from traditional
church teachings, freedom of inquiry
for Catholic theologians, and an expanded role for women in the church.
In fac t, the tone for the busy workday was set even before the papal
plane landed , when , during lengthly
questionings by journalists on his aircraft , the pope asserted, despite public
opinion polls that show a substantial
majority of American Catholics ignore at least some church teachings,
that a "great silent majority " are faithful . Aboard the plane the pope also
cxl paincd for the first time in his own
words his formal audience with Austrian President Kurt Waldheim ,
which outraged the world' s Jews, and
spoke more directly than ever before
about AIDS and homosexuality.
In his meeting with priests at
Miami' s St. Martha 's church , the
pontiff listened intentl y as Father
Frank J. McNulty of Newark, N.J.,
mixed praise for him as a leader and

Weaver said because the

Weaver also pointed out that a temporary permit will be good for one

poet with a distressing reminder that
"people often do not perceive the
church as proclaiming integral truth
and divine mercy, but rather as sounding harsh, demanding."
McNulty, chosen to express the
concerns of the nation 's 57,000
Roman Catholic priests to the pope,
spoke with emphasis but smiled often
during his talk. He was applauded
frequendy by an audience of priests
representing all 185 of the country's
dioceses.
McNulty noted that "the value (of
celibacy) has eroded and continues to
erode in the minds of many." Attrition
and decline in the numbers of young
men opting for the priesthood means
"that in 10 years we could have half
the present number of priests," he
said. McNulty asked the pontiff to
support priests who "want to perservere" in celibacy , as well as calling
for "exploration" of how celibacy
"can be most effectively implemented
today."
It was not clear whether McNulty
was suggesting that optional celibacy
be permitted.
Without directly calling for a change
allowing women to be ordained,
McNulty nonetheless declared: "The
movement of women toward practical
equality is a major dynamic of our
time.... There is need for study, reflection and above all , more dialogue with
women.
The question of ordination of
women as priests is one of the most
controversial in the American church
and on which John Paul stands most
firml y opposed.
Other "hopes expressed by McNulty
included a plea that priests be allowed
to help select the bishops appointed
over them , and that theologians be
allowed to function "with freedom "as
well as "fidelity to the wider mission
of the church."
McNulty did not refer to any theolo-

gian by name, but Father Charles
Curran was stripped by the Vatican
last year of his right to teach Catholic
theology because his inquiries led him
to conclusions on sexual ehtics at
variance with official Vatican doctrine. Vatican authorities said Curran
was wrong to question established
dogma.
John Paul responded to McNulty
with a mildly-worded address that did
not touch direcdy on any of the issues
he raised, but he did stress the duty of
priests to submit to his teaching authority.
"I am aware of your fidelity and
sensitivity...which required much
sacrifice,"the pontiff said, adding that
"Christ...is able to draw young people
to himself for the priesthood "as he
has in the past."
He also cautioned them not to let
compassion lead them to be too merciful when "a gesture of mercy goes
contrary to the demands of God's
word."The remark was interpreted by
observers in the papal entourage as a
rebuff to priests who try to stretch
strict church teachings on such matters as divorce and the use of birth
control by their parishoners.
The question of fidelity to Church
teachings also was raised by journalists earlier aboard the papal plane.
John Paul called the current of dissent
among American Catholics "a very
serious problem ," but questioned
whether it was widespread dissent by
many or "dissent by some very
(prominent) theologians, publishers,
writers and perhaps journalists."
On the question of homosexuals,
the pope rejected a reporter's characterization of them as outcasts.
"They are not outcasts," he said.
"The homosexuals, like all- ' people
who suffer, are inside the church." He
paused , then added , "No, not inside
the church. They are in the heart of the
church' ."

New therapy may 'blindfold' AIDS

By Robert Cooke

LA Times - Washington Post service

Laurel Hollow, NY - Scientists who
have found a way to "blindfold" the
deadly AIDS virus said Thursday that
it might someday provide a way to
halt - and perhaps even cure - AIDS
infections.
The new approach , discussed at a
vaccines symposium at the Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory, was devised by scientists at a genetic engineering company, Biogen Inc. in
Cambridge, Mass., and doctors at
Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston.
Discussing what he called "a possible approach to therapy for AIDS,"
biologist Richard A. Fisher announced that he and his colleagues
used genetic engineering techniques
to make small molecules that can
saturate the surface of the AIDS virus,
keeping it from infecting white blood
cells.
Other scientists at the meeting were
cautious, however, because it is not
yet known how well the saturating
molecules would work in the body or
what dangerous side effects might be
involved.
About 40,000 cases of acquired
immune deficiency syndrome have
been reported in the United States.
Half of those patients have died. Officials estimate that between 1 million
and 2 million Americans have been
infected with HIV virus, die ADDS
earner.
So far, the research has only been
conducted in laboratory dishes, so the
true effectiveness of the potential
treatment may not be known for years.
The results were encouraging because
die use of virus-blinding molecules
seemed to stop the virus quickly.
The new work is based on the socalled T-4 receptor, which is found on
certain white blood cells. It is those
receptors that the AIDS virus locates,
binds to, and uses as an entry port into
the cell.
The new approach involves making
copies of the T-4 receptor, then injecting millions of the copies into the sys-

tern and cover the virus so it cannot
find its normal target.
In theory, Fisher added, this mechanism should also stop the virus fro m
spreading by its other pathway, passing from one cell to another via surface contact.
"It could provide a treatment for
people who are already infected" and
stop the spread of free virus, Fisher

said in an interview , " and also in
theory it would keep cell-to-ccll
spread (of the virus) from happening."
If the small T-4 molecules do become a useful treatment for AIDS ,
one scientist said , it will probabl y be
most useful for people who are infected by the virus but who have not
yet come down with the disease.

Scholz took to the Hammond and

preferring their down-to-earth sound
to that of the new robotic synthesizers of the time.

built. Tom Scholz that is. The scene
is 1975. Scholz , a Massachusetts
Institute of Technology graduate
with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, was working in the
Product Desi gn wing of a major
Massachusetts-based corporation
when the whole concept fell
together. A melodic , hard-rock
machine, fueled by technology and
band members with the expertise to
make it all possible. Boston is born.
It was the earl y work of this band
that formulated the sounds of such
contemporary waste products as
Bon Jovi and Poison.
Boston 's self-titled 1976 debut '
album shocked the music world
with anunmislakeablc guitar sound
born of stack upon stack of Marshall
amplifiers . In addition to the amp
towers, Scholz experimented with

After 1978's Don ' t Look Back
album , Boston got involved in one
of the longest legal battles in rock
music history . Suits , countersuits ,
royalty battles , management and
contract disputes whirled the band
into an unp lanned eight -year hiatus.
But in 1980, Scholtz and the band
began making plans for a new
album. Over the next six years,
Boston recorded , rc-rccordcd , remixed and re-mastered the 10 tracks
which would become the Third
Stage album , starling with
"Amanda " in '80.
>
Always the innovator , Scholz also
spent month s developing the
Rockman: an amplifier the size of a
sandwich and capable of exactl y
duplicating the Boston qui tar sound,
previously attainable onl y through
walls and walls of Marshall*. The
final test was the 1986-1987 concert
tour. Gone from the band were
original drummer Sib Hashian.
guitarist Barry Goudreau. and
bassist Fran Sheehan. Since die

band was built around Scholz's
guitar and keyboard playing and the
melodic voice of Brad Delp to begin
with , it really made no difference
who replaced them. They were
merely support personnel who were
luck y to have a job.
I was fortunate enough to get a
ticket to one of this summer's sold
out Boston shows at the Philly
,
Spectrum. The show was a musical
and technological marvel- a work of
art. After starting the show with
classics like "Rock n' Roll Band"
and "Peace of Mind", the band
glided through the Third Stage
album in sequence.
The use of the album sequence
format allowed Scholz to show off
of his new techno-toys. Boston has
returned , and they 've silenced critics
who said they could never make a
successfu l comeback after eight
years.
After encores of "More Than a
Feeling, Don t Look Back , and
"Fcelin ' Satisfied ," I left the
Spectrum confident that a band
which had impressed when I was 13
could still amaze me eight years
later. Where they go from here is
anybod y 's guess, but I'm sure it
won 't be too long before we're all
taking a journey into life 's Fourth

The new executive director of
Quest offers a wide variicty of programs to the students and staff of
Bloomsburg University.
Chuck Connelly, a 36 year-old
graduate of William and Mary College, arrived at Bloomsburg Jul y
20, 1987 to begin work with former
executive director Bill Proudman .
Connelly worked with Proudman
and Gcna Onushco in implement-

ing the restructured Upreach Program.
Previousl y the program held two
five day sessions throughout the
summer . Each session ran two groups
of people. The program was changed
to the last week before classes in an
effort to allow more students to participate in the Upreach Program. This
year approximatlcy 30 students partici pated in the program.
The programs for this fal l include
courses in backpacking, rock climb-

Face it. Sometimes listening to a
prof' s lecture can be boring. More
often then not we wait anxiously for
the clock's hands to tick on and the
class lo end. But recentl y my
attention was held during my Men &
Women: Anthropological Perspective class. The questioned discussed- Which sex pursues which?
The answer- women.
To support this conclusion , the *
prof cited a study done in 1976 by
Timothy Pcrper .an anthropologist
who spent eight years studying
courtship and flirtation in singles'
bars. Through his observations ,
Pcrpcr found that males are being
seduced by women but just don't
realize it.
How could this be some might
ask ,? Perper says there's nothing to
it. Women simply use a five step
method: approach , talk, turn , touch,
and synchronize.
The approach . This step begins
when a female strategically, but
seemingly by accident, places
herself in front of a male she finds
desirable. She stays there until he
notices. Usuall y a glance or smile
will be a signal.
The talk. After a successful
approach , conversation begins. Eye
contact is essential and signals
interest.
The turn . Perper noted that while

talking with one another, a man and
woman stand in a V-formation and,
as interest in one another increases,
the V-formation narrows.
The touch. Although a suprisingl y
hi gh figure, it was revealed that 90%
of the time women instigate the
touch stage. This stage includes
things such as a brush of the
shoulder or a slight touch with the
finger, once again done seemingly
unintentionall y. Inieres#Ling to note,
most women don 't wan 't men to
make the first physical step.
According to Perper, it 's a real turn-

ng, tubing, canoeing ana a oay o
mounuan biking, which combines
biking and backpacking with the
help of qualified instructors.
Quest also offers contract courses
tailored for individual organizations. Interested parties ought to
cestact the Quest office.
Connelly spent the past three years
in Fairfax Va. teaching adult volunteer leaders to train, work with, and
recruit other leaders in Outdoor Adventure.
The slower pace of Bloomsburg
appeal s to Connelly, who has also
worked with special populations to
help them adapt to the everyday life.
Connelly and his new staff wish to
maintain the quality and safety of
programs offered to the university
community.
Quest invites anyone interested in
any of the Quest programs to pick
up a fal l schedule or contact the
Quest office at 389-4323.

off.

Synchronize. This stage is the
one lhat really fasinates me. Perper
noted that at this point in the game,
the. man and women may begin
standing in the same way or maybe
even eating at the same time.
To put the lecture in a nutshell,
females initiate the courtship
procedure and usually seduce
men . And it was in the short time
span of an hour and fifteen minutes
that an entire class learned how
devious women can be.

Constitution: too
much f or one hour

By Pat A ndrews
for The Voice
In celebration of the 200th
anniversary of our constitution ,
Bloomsburg University is sponsoring a series of lectures dealing with
the Constitution and its conflict in
American society.
On September 9 at 7 p.m.,
professor George Turner introduced
Michael A. Foley, the first of the
speakers to appear at the university.
Dr. Foley is a graduate of Eastern
Illinois University, where he
.-majored in philosophy and German.
He then persued a master's degree
and a Ph.D. in philosphy at Souther
Illinois University .The author of
numerous publications, Dr. Foley is
currently a full-time professor at
Marywood College in Scranton, Pa.
His presentation , titled "Philosophical Foundations of American
Constitutionalism " discussed the
ideas behind the Constitution , and
what they signify. Dr. Foley also
noted that our founding fathers were
greatly influenced by ancient
philosophers.
Early in his speech , Dr. Foley
defined constitutionalism by
Webster 's definition as". . . the
doctrine or system of government in
which the governing power is
limited by enforceable rules of law
and concentration of power is
provided by various checks and
balances so that the basic rights of
individuals and groups are protected."
Basically, constitutionalism is not
just the doctrine of our government
Instead , it is the ideas behind the
doctrine which not only govern the
people, but set legal limitaions on
the government.
"Given this very general definition ," Dr. Foley said, "it should be
clear that it is possible to have a
constitutional form of government
without, having a constitution and

vice versa." China, for instance, is z
nation with a constitution which
does not practice constitutionalism.
There are certain laws which
construct the framework of constitutionalism and our constitution
which , Dr. Foley explained ," Was
shaped by virtually 1,800 years of
thinking. These laws are referred to
as Higher Law and Natural Law.
Higher Law, in essence, is the
divine law. It is an unwritten law
which undoubtedly dominates over
written law and governmental
power. Dr. Foley referred to the
Greek philosopher Heraclitus when
defining higher law in that , "All
human laws are sustained by one
divine law, which is infinitely
strong, and suffices , and more than
suffices, for them all."
Natural Law is basically the right
to preserve ourselves and to prevent
us from harming one another.
Natural Law is the basis for all
written laws which , in turn , is based
on Higher Law.
It is not an easy task for us to
totally understand these theories ,
for ancient philosophers spent
decades formulating these ideas
from the problems of their own
governments.
Dr. Foley stressed the importance
of these theories and how they
greatly influenced our founding
fathers when they drafted our
constitution .
Dr. Foley's speech ended shortly
after 8 p.m. , leaving mixed reactions
from professors and students alike.
The subject of the forum was intresting, but to clearly explain the
philosophical foundations of our;
constitution in one hour and still
comprehend the material is a chal-'
lenge. Dr. Foley stressed the importance of these theories and how they
greatly influenced our founding fathers when they drafted bur
Constitution

Children of a Lesser God was only
the second of many films to be shown
on campus this year, and thankfully it
is not the last.
The storyline evolves around a
small Boston-like town. The two main
characters are Sarah (Marylee
Maitlin), a mysterious and beautiful
25-year-old deaf girl who spent her
life at a school for the deaf and now
works there as a full time janitor . The
professor who falls in love with her
(William Hurt of The Big Chill and
Altered States) is an overqualified
teacher who sacrifices all prospective
opportunities to teach other deaf children in order to break Sarah's selfinflicted life of silence.
So far this may sound like some-

thing you may have read before probably out of one of those cheap
romance novels that can be found at
the checkout counter in a supermarket. It doesn 't get much better than
that.
The existing conflict lies between
the combination of Sarah's haunting
past and the obvious fact that she is
deaf and he is not. By the middle of the
film , you can predict the outcome:
love will prevail, so all you have to do
is wait, and wait, and wait for the
end.While you're waiting, I'll be
checking out next week's film.

Return of the R agtop Vette
By Glenn Schwab
For The Voice
One thing has been missing from
the American automotive scene since
the mid-70s, and that 's a ragtop version of the ever-popular Corvette.
General Motors' Chevolet Division
has final ly seen the light and is now
offering America's foremost, convertible sports car for 1987.Those
lucky few who can afford the $35,000
pricetag will be able to cruise stylishly
in the first "Vette roadster made since
1975.
This new convertible model is a
well planned package. In place of the
usual unsi ghtly boot, there is a special
panel on the decklid behind the seats
under which the top is stowed. This
unique setup allows the topless "Vette
to retain the smooth lines of a coupe
without sacrificing any of its great
aerodynamics. Looks weren 't
Chevy's only consideration when
designing this new soft top. Sound
engineering under the fiberglass skin ,
in the form of extra chassis bracing,
keeps this model just as firm as the
coupe.
The convertible top is only one of

several refinements exclusive to The
'87 Corvette. There is a new anti-theft
system based on a computer-coded
ignition which will respond only to a
key with the matching code. Trying to
start the car in any other way will
make its computer shut off fuel to the
engine. Another opti on availabl e is
the low-tire-pressure indicator. This
system uses four pressure sensors,
one per wheel, each of which is
hooked up to a tiny radio transmitter.
When the pressure in any tire drops
more than one pound below a set
level , the transmitter activates a warning light on the dashboard .
While the above are useful options,
they do little to enhance the car's effectiveness as a street machine. Well,
don 't worry, because those of us who
like to see a little tire smoke will be
more than satisfied with this '87's
performance. Chevrolet has made
changes in the "Vette's 350 cubicinch V-8 powerplant which boosts
this smallblock's output to 240 horsepower and 345 lbs./ft. of torque, fairly
respectable for a modern-day engine.
In fact, these new ratings earn the 350
the right to be called the most power-

This photo appeared in the 1919 edition of the Obiter.

lul non-turbocharged motor in any
American car today.
This distinction is reflected in the
Corvette's impressive acceleration
abilities. While this new roadster tips
the scales at over 3,200 pounds , it still
gets off the line faster than anything
less than a Ferrari Testarossa or Buick
Regal GNX. Sixty mph is only 5.6
seconds away from a dead stop and
the "Vette rounds out the quarter mile
in less than 14.5 seconds, with a top
speed of 155 mph.
The job of putting this power to the
ground is handled by Goodyear in the
form of 255/ 50-16 inch tires, front
and back. These massive Gatorbacks
are mounted on Chevy's aluminum
Corvette mag wheels, which , at 16 by
9.5, are a full inch wider than last
years'.
All in all , the 1987 Corvette soft top
is one of the best American street
machines that has come out in recent
years. The car would benefi t greatly
from the addition of an extra 50 or so
horsepower, but who's going to argue
with near-perfection?
Any wonder what they have in
mind for '88?

her graduation , Mrs. McDonald has
been , according to the Alumni
Association , a loyal alumna ,
contributing most every year.
With minimal editing, the
following is Priscilla Young
McDonald's story in her own
words.:
My cousin Edith and I entered
Bloomsburg at the same time. Our
mothers were the deciding factors
on where we should go. In our day,
many things were planned for us by
our parents. They decided on a state
school for teachers. Bloomsburg
was nearest to Wilkes-Barre. They
even decided we would stay in the
dorm. No thought of racial barriers
entered their minds. They paid
taxes, didn 't they?
We had n 't heard of another black
student graduating from
Bloomsburg until Professor Albert
told us a girl from a family in
Bloomsburg had graduated and gone
to teach at Tuskegee. She did not
stay in a dorm. Edith and I did .
Everyone we came in contact with
seemed to accept us. In fact , we had
a little circle of white friends who
moved around with us all the time.
These were genuine, but Dr. Waller,

Last week, my younger sister Dawn
went to West Chester University , and
the affair made me realize how
quickly time flies. Why, it seems that
onl y yesterday she and I were kids.
I recall the many ways I used to
spend recess. A great invention , recess. It was created to give the teachers a well-deserved break between
Hell I (morning classes) and Hell II
(afternoon classes), and to get rid of
some of the energy kids bottled up
during Hell I. For an hour, my friends
and I could play hopscotch , or sing
childrens' rhym es (many of which
I' ve forgotten) while jumping rope.
The guys used to play kick ball and
Uiunt all of the girls.

Desiree. Desiree could catch boys
better than any girl I knew. She'd
throw them on the ground and give
them great big kisses - sometimes on
the lips. Yes, we were all impressed
with the wonderfully brazen ability
she possessed.
Boys may have been icky, but I
loved S anta Claus. Remember him? A
week before Christmas, I always became the best little girl in the world.
Santa was still watching, and every
point counted as far as I was concerned.
Every year I'd try to stay awake all
night to hear the reindeer paw on our
rooftop. At the break of day, I'd dart
out of bed to wake up my parents.
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" I'd
plead. Santa was a great guy. He
always gave you the present your father said you wouldn 't get because
you were naughty.
Some kids learned that Santa was a
hoax from their parents. I found out
from my friend Lenny, who said he
waited in a locked trunk by the Christmas tree all night. He said his parents
put out the presents, so I went home
and asked my mother if Santa existed.

One of our favorite games was
called "dodge ball." The object of this
sadistic game was lo throw the ball at
people in the circle and hit them so
they 'd be "out." My third grade
teacher let us play a lot of dodge ball
as I recall.
I also remember a game we called
"Run , Catch, and Kiss." This catchy
title describes the object of the game.

had failed twice, and her name was

Cheers gets student app roval

By S usan Hanshaw
f o r The Voice
Cheers kicked off its fall debut in
the Coffee House of Kehr Union last
Thursday night from 1 p.m. -1 a.m. It
featured Comedian John Joseph and a
disc jockey from Olivieri Sound
Company.
Cheers , Bloomsburg University 's
non-alcoholic nightclub established
in the spring of 1987 is expected to
become a tradition on the Program
Board' s calendar of upcoming events.
To make Cheers resemble a ni ghtclub is the intent of the Program
Board. Jimmy Gilliand , director,
explained that the small tables, dim
lighting and professional entertainment are meant to make students feel
as though they 're in a real bar.
Phil Hoeflich, a BU sophomore
who visited Cheers, said, "I liked it
because it's entertaining and a good
atmosphere."
The Cheers non-alcoholic drink
menu includes: Pina Coladas, Shirley
Temples, Tropical Suns and soda.The
high demand for Strawberry Daquiris

From the lif e of Priscilla Young
By R.W. Fromm
f r o m the BU Archives
Several weeks ago, in perusing
the 1919 Obiter for other information I discovered a photo of a black
woman student; or at least one of the
earliest black students. I thought she
would have a good story to tell. As
it turns out, another black woman,
her cousin, was in the same class.
Her cousin is deceased, so I
contacted Mrs. Priscilla Young
McDonald now of Washington D.C.
to see if she would be amenable to
telling us her Bloomsburg story.
Now 88-years-old, Mrs. McDonald
graciously responded to some
questions.
Priscilla Young was from
Wilkes-Barre, as was Edith Dennis,
her cousin , and she was a member
of Philo (a literary society), the
YWCA, the Girl s Dormitory Club,
secretary of the Girl s Athletic
Association and was chief artist of
the Obiter staff. The narrative about
her in the yearbook suites that she
"is a most conscientious student "
and that she "expects to be a school
teacher and , judg ing by her work in
the Model School, success will be
hers." During all these years since

with dance and song routines.
Sandy Dennis, the team captain,
will be working with McGowan to
improve this year's squad. She will
help to build enthusiasm and a cooperative group spirit necessary for
quality routines.
Cheerleaders are no longer just a
group of girls' skirts. Scott Linder, a
third year veteran on the squad , said,
"BU's male cheerleaders are athletes.
What we do is harder than we're given
credit for."
"Smile!" McGowan yells, and
smiles instantly light up every face.
Incredibly enough , they must smile
when elbows dig into backs and
sneakers press brutally into shoulders
while the squad executes a difficult

maneuver.
When asked what she thought of
her team, McGowan said, "They're
tremendous! They are enthusiastic.,
and very spirited."
It takes a lot of practice and discipline to ensure every routine goes
well. The squad tirelessly works on
voice skills, group coordination, and
gymnastic ability.

As a team, these cheerleaders
would like the fans to be enthusiastic
in support of BU's teams. Tim Tepes
commented,' "We want to get the
people involved in the game. We
don 't want the people in the crowd to
be dead."
So catch the BU spirit and get involved in the enthusiasm.

From a child s po int of view

Cheer abOUt.

By Kireston Wilson
For the Voice
A chorus of banshee wails sound
across Centennial parking lot as
arms twirl, swirl, and wave in the air.
What on earth is going on? It is a
cheerleading squad practice being
watched over by BU's new cheerleading coach , Sister Anita
McGowan.
Seven women and seven men have
join ed together to promote high spirits at various BU games. And their
goal this year is to make you shout
and scream at the football games.
They're hoping to get fans psyched
and excited to improve the atmosphere at athletic functions. Not only
will they inspire fans to cheer for the
team , they will now entertain them

succeeded in exhausting the
bartender's supply. All drinks cost .75
cents and under.
Gilliand estimated that 700 BU
students visited Cheers between the
hours of 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Gilliand says that one of the factors
that made Cheers a success is that is
that it is run by students.
Feedback about Cheers is welcome
by the Program Board. Comments
from last spring took Magueritas off
the menu and the extension of die club
hours until 1 a.m.
Although the concept of a BU nonalcoholic bar is not new, Gilliand feels
as though the Cheers atmosphere and
the support it has gotten from students
will continue to make it a big success.
Cheers will reopen on October 8.

the principal had warned all before
we came that we were to be treated
no differently from anyone else. All
seemed to try to make us feel happy,
and we were.
Schools in Wilkes-Barre were integrated and so was housing. There
were very few black people, so there
were really no ghettos. All my
neighbors were white, except my
aunt who lived next door. The
secretary of the school board lived
across the street from me. I sent an
application to teach in Wilkes-Barre.
It probably landed in the wastebasket.
My interest in art started about
third grade. I remember a teacher
was my inspiration. She was so
pleased with my drawing and
praised me so highly. As a teacher, I
taught art in juni or high school and
took post-graduate courses.
After graduating from
Bloomsburg, I taught four years in
Harrisburg. I left in 1923 to teach in
New York City. There I met and
married my husband, Herbert C.
McDonald. I retired from teaching
in 1958 and moved to Washington
D.C. on the death of my husband in
1968.

'"

he didn 't, but I think that was the day
I started growing up.
Once, Dawn, my friends Potsie and
Jenny, and I sold lemonade on the side
of the most untraveled road in the
town. Nobody stopped after nearly 20
minutes, so Potsie, brilliant boy that
he was, decided to run in front of the
cars that passed. That way people
would stop and buy lemonade and we
could make millions of dollars.
Well , I don 't have to tell you that his
plan failed. The very first car he
jumped in front of screeched to a halt.
We were thrilled - a customer at last!

But the woman at the wheel didn 't
want lemonade. She yelled at us and
said she would tell our parents what
we had done. We didn 't even know
her, but we took her word for it. We
disbanded what could have been the
most profitable business venture of
our lives and scampered home, afraid
that she would keep her promise.
Childhood is a wondrous time - a
time each of us treasuresindividually,
and analyzes differently. I invite you
to pick up the box your store your
memories in, blow off the dust, and
open the lid. Rediscover your childI wasn 't devastated when she told me hood and enjoy the memory of you.

Bond sales will wait .a.while
r rom page eight

Irwindale City Manager Charles
Martin said , meanwhile , that earlier
tliis week the Meridan Bank of St.
Paul , Minnesota , had agreed to
purchase all of the bonds but backed
out Wednesday morning after
learning of the Bcrnadi lawsuit.
"Ever since then we've been
scrambling to (find another buyer) ,"

From the Locker room

One can only
experience a
PSU game
Mike Mull en
Sports Editor

I woke up early, not because I
had to, but because I could not
sleep any more.
I wandered around the house
until it was time for me lo head
to work. Today was Saturday
and I had to work the Information desk. It would mean that I
would have to miss our Huskies
play Shippensburg , the first
home game of the season.
My question of 'I wonder what
poor fools get suckcred into
working the college while
everyone else is at the gam e do?'
from last year would soon be
answered.
I made my way to campus and
opened the desk. Glancing at the
clock , I saw it was 8:00, only
12:00 hours until kickoff.
M y shift wentquickly and I
listened to the game on the
radio. When my relief came I
was out of there like....well , fast.
After a shower and dinner ,
myself and three friends headed
down route 80 towards the
defending national champions
home field , less than one and
one half hours awav.
With my roommate driving, (I
don 't have a car up here , where
would I park it?) we made it to
Happy Valley rather quickl y.
When finall y we cam e to the
college itself , the campus had
teen turned into a giant one-way
street. As I attempted to instruct
my roommate on directions , a
very burl y policewoman stopped
us from advancing, "Where you
guys going?"
"Simmon s Hall ," I replied.
"Well , you can 't get there from
here," she said.
The usual route to my friend's
dorm blocked , we were forced lo
find an alternate route, a result
of which I can safel y say the
boonies of State College are
lovel y.
After three laps around Penn
State we made it on to campus
and to my friends dorm. She
gave us our tickets and asked us
if we had any trouble.
"Oh , no , none at all ," we
chimed .
From her dorm we headed on
a 15-minute walk to the stadium ,
which rose majestically above
the ground. As we approached
we were given directions to our
seats if we got lost, and we all
plunged into the crowd.
Amazigly enough , two
minutes later we were all inside
and reunited by the student
section at the scoreboard end of
the stadium. We climbed a
dozen rows or so to find our
seats, kindly saved by another
friend. We took our seats as they
began the national anthem.
Every student , myself included , sang the anthem , myself
a little worse than the others, of
course.
From then on , it was non-stop
noise as we participated in every
cheer the cheerleaders did.
The most impressive of all
was of course the "We are, Penn
State" cheer. Over 30,000
studen ts on one side of the
stadium yelled , "We are!!" The
response echoed from across the
way, "Penn State!!"
Equally impressive was the
unity displayed by the crowd as
they struck a perfect harmony on
every cheer.And each time PSU
did something good, you knew it
by the Nittnay Lion roar.
There were beach balls fly ing
around , the Alma Mater, and of
course the wave.
It was the sixth largest crowd
in history and, yes, I was one of
the 85,619 goinig crazy that
night.
Yes, PSU did lose the game,
but , you can't win the national
tide every year. Just every four.
"Hello, Joe? Yes, give me a
season ticket for 1990. olease."

Huskies down Shippensburg, 21-10
Quarterback Jay DeDea and the
rest of the Huskies "poured" on ihe
offense Saturday when , gaining over
150 yards through the air ,
Bloomsburg sent a very wet, very
young Shi ppensburg team home
with a 24-10 loss.
Riding the strong arm of an
improved Jay DeDea, who completed 14 of 25 passes with only one
interception , the Huskies scored in
every quarter to stave off any
though of a Red Raider comeback.
The Huskies began early as they
took their second possession of the
day down the field for a score.
Starting from the Red Raider 49
after a punt , DeDea masterfull y»
guided the Huskies on a 10-play
drive culminating in a three-yard
option keeper by himself for the
opening score. Mingron nailed the
extra point and Bloomsburg led 7-0
with five minutes left in the first
quarter.
In the second quarter, the Red
Raiders began to make the mistakes
that would lead to their loss. On first
and ten from their own 29 they
fumbled for the fi rst of three times
and Todd Lcitzel recovered for
Bloomsburg on ihe Shi ppensburg 33
yard line.
DeDea then set up shop on die
Red Raider 33 yard line and
promptl y hit ti ght end John
Rockmore for one of his five
receptions of the game on a seventeen yard gain to put the Huskies on
the Shippensburg 16.
Then , three plays after Leonard
Bluit 's thirteen yard gain , on third

went up the middle for his score of
the game, and after Mingrone's
kick , BU held a commanding 14-0
lead and never looked back.
Shippcnsburg 's next possession
stalled at the BU 43 and following
the punt the Huskies were buried on
their own eight yard line. DeDea
couldn 't move the offense and
punted. The partiall y blocked punt
only went 28 yards and Shippensburg had dicir best possession
of the day OR the BU 33.
From there Klock went to work
for Ship. An off tackle run and three
passes later, Klock nailed Slyer in
ihe end zone for a two yard score
and a 14-7 deficit as the half wound
down.
The Huskies offen se only suffered
one turnover in the game and that
was an interception thrown by
DeDcaon the firs t play form
scrimmage following Ship 's only
touchdown . But with only 31
seconds left in the half , Klock ran
out of lime on the BU 25 yard line.
The third quarter of the game
consisted of two long scoring drives,
one by each team.
Bloomsburg took their initial
possession of the second half on a
12-play, 66-yard drive to equal their
bi ggest lead of the game, 21-14.
The play featured a 17 yard
reception by Martin , an eight yard
reception by Rockmore and culminated in a seven yard touchdown
pass to Still.
From there Shippensburg took tfee
kickoff and marched on a 16-play,
54-yard drive of their own , tJnfortu-

at the BU nine and they had to settle
for a Kishbaugh field goal and a 2110 score.
The Huskies then took their first
possession of the final quarter and
completed the scoring.
Starling on the SU 44, DeDea
connected on passes of 17 and seven
yards to Rockmore to put them in a
position for a Mingrone field goa' of
31 yards.
Despite the weather the two teams
were able to move the ball as each
team gained just ovwer 250 yards of
total offense.
Martin , usually a threat on the
ground , was the leading receiver for
the Huskies with six receptions for
71 yards. He also garnered 64 yards
rushing and one touchdown.
Rockmore also had another good
game receiveing as he snatched 5 of
DcDea's bullets for 50 yards. Still
had two catches for 21 yards and a
touchdown.
.DeDea completed 14 of 25 passes
with one interception for 157 yards
while his Shippensburg counterpart,
Klock , was 14 of 26 for 124 yards
and no interceptions.
The Huskies now raise their
overall record to 1-1, but still await
to play a Pennsylvania Conference
Eastern Division opponent. Adrian
and company will have one more
tune-up game before entering PC
East competition against West
Chester. They will face Lock Haven
away next week.
The Red Raiders now drop to 0-1
and look ahead to a home Kutztown
date next Saturday.

Bloomsburg University's Curds Still (82) celebrates his touchdown
catch thrown by Jay DeDea. John Rockmore caught 5 passes, but
the leading receiver was Tom Martin.

Bond sales will wait
A Superior Court judge refused
Thursday to issue a temporary
restraining order blocking the sale
by Irwindale of bonds to finance
the proposed Los Angeles Raiders
stadium, and Irwindale authorities
said that the sale of $90 million in
bonds could go forward as early as
Friday.
Judge Ricardo Torres, hearing
arguments in a taxpayers' suit
against the Irwindale-Raiders deal
filed Tuesday by Los Angels City
Councilman Ernani Bernadi, said
that he would not accept arguments
that Irwindale's promise to loan the
Raiders $115 million to build the
stadium in any way constituted an
illicit gift of public funds.
Torres also brushed aside
contentions by Bernadi's attorney,
Murray Kane, that the Irwindale
City Council had violated state
requirements of a bond sale notice
(when it it voted Wednesday night

to approve quick sale.
The judge , however, did set a
hearing for September 28 to consider
further arguments as to whether he
ought to issue an injunction against
the bond sale and other aspects of the
Irwindale-Raiders agreement.
Bond counsel Charles Green ,
representing Irwindale, which is
about 20 miles east of Los Angeles,
said afterwards lhat by that date, an
injunction would be "a moot point ,"
because the bonds, totaling as much
as $90 million, already will have
been sold.
But Kane contended that investors
will be leery of buying the bonds
before the second hearing and that no
sale was likely before that time.
"They 'd be crazy," Bernadi' s lawyer
said of the prospective buyers. " No
one in his right mind is going to buy
a $90 million bond with this (the
hearing) hanging over their heads."
Continued on page seven

which tied the game up 1-1 and sent
the game into the first of two
overtimes.
That scoring was then completed
after two 10 minute overtimes when
Shippensburg scored the last and
final goal.
Coach Steve Goodwin commented on the teams performance,"!
think the guys played hard.
Shippcnsburg 's a tough team and
we almost ded it up there in
overdme."
One of the captains of the team,
Jack Milligan , had this to say of the
team's performance,"! think we're
on our way to a pretty goood season.
Last year Shippensburg beat us 3-0
For them to beat us this year 2-1 in
overtime must mean we've got a
good chance with this season."
The confident Huskies now await
their next soccer game which at this
point is scheduled for tomorrow,
Tuesday, against the Bald Eagles of
Lock Haven.
