Mix of problems push professor to suicide

By Bill Giorgini
Staff Writer
Declining health, emotional distress and conflicts within the
Bloomsburg University history department may have lead Hans Gunther, 60, to take his own life on Sept.
1.
, James Sachetti, editor of the PressEnterprise and a student of Gunthcr 's
in the early 1970's, received a letter
from the dispondent Gunther stating
"I was 60 years old on Nov. 21, and
that feels too old. It's time for the
invalid (Gunther was partiall y
crippled by a stroke in 1977) to vacate
the battlefield. " Sachetti said
Gunther 's letter also told of conflicts
within the history department.

"But there arc problems in any department ," Sachctd said. "Not everybody gets along with everybody."
Dr. James Sperry, chairman of the
BU history department , said , "(Gunther) had a policy disagreement with
the department."
Dr. Arthur Lysiak , an associate professor of history at BU and one of
Gunther 's associates said , "i found
him to be a very loyal friend. " Lysiak
also expanded on Gunther 's personality. "He was always honest ," he said.
"The real tragedy is that no one got to
know the real Han s Gundier."
Lysiak added a conflict between
Gunther and the department chairman
did not exist.
"(Gunther) and Sperry got along

very well," he said. "The (Press-Enterprise) sort of indicated that they
didn 't."
Sperry said the most important factor was his health. "One of the things
that should have come out but didn 't
was that Gunther was going blind. "
Sperry said, adding that Gunther had a
terrible fear of being cooped up in a
nursing home. Sperry said when
Gunther felt it became too physically
hard to go on he killed himself.
"I think it was a calm , rational decision made over a long period of dme,"
Sperry added.
Like Sperry, Lysiak said the primary reason for Gunther 's suicide
was his health .
"I think it all goes back to his first

stroke. Physically, he recovered 95
percent. Mentally he was completely
recovered, but emotionally he never
recovered. He lost confidence in himself ."
Dr. Ralph Smiley, history and mass
communications professor at BU ,
said Gunther was separated from his
famil y earlier in his life.
"His family sent him out of Nazi
Germany before the war," Smiley
pointed out. "After the war, his famil y
was living in (East) Germany, so he
was a man without a country and a
man wilhout a famil y. He was very
alone. He was a man who lived for the
old world and-regretlcd its passing."
Smiley also said Gunther was dis-

Smiley also believed that Sachetd tary of the history department, said,
left out some information in the letter "He was a nice man, a very interesting
man. He loved to tell stories - even
regarding Gunther 's suicide.
"I think its a question of jounalism when I was trying to get my work

Finance club working towards
gaining national chartership
The Finance Club of Bloomsburg
University hopes to increase its
membership and eventually obtain a
national chartership.
Drew Lotsis, president of the club,
said, "We just want to make an awareness because it 's hard to compete with
other schools who have established
clubs."
Lotsis said approxiamtely 70
people appeared for the club' s past
meeting.
"We didn 't have enough involvement in the club," Lotsis said. "We
want more people to get involved."
He added that the Finance Club is
open to all majors.
Lolsis said a committee is being
planned for anyone interested in in-

vesting money in low-risk stocks.
"The committee will plan how the
money is to be invested," he said.
"The money then will be given back at
the end of April."
Lotsis added that a schedule of
events is being prepared. On Oct. 15
the club plans to host two speakers,
Bill Tolia of Focus magazine and Pete'
Mercantelli of Price-Waterhouse,
who will discuss the fiel d of finance. A
trip to the New York Stock Exchange
is also scheduled for Nov. 12 for all
Finance Club members.
Lotsis said anyone interested in
joining the Finance Club can pay their
$15-per-year dues in the Kehr Union
Building on Sept. 21 and 22, from 11
a.m.-l p.m.

Japan will offe r economic aid to U.S. to
help decrease burden in Persian Gulf

by Sam Jameson

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasome will tell President Reagan in New
York on Monday that Japan is prepared to make a financial contribution
to lighten the American burden of
providing Navy escorts to od tankers
passing through the Persian gulf, the
Foreign Ministry's spokeman said
Thursday.
Yoshifumi Matsuda told foreign
correspondents that he is "confident"
that Nakasone will express Japan 's
"willingness to do something" on the
basis of widespread support that he
said exists among the Japanese public
for aiding the U.S. effort to safeguard
oil shipments from the strategic gulf.
The prime minister, however, will
not be able to tell Reagan how much
aid Japan wUl provide, or specify in
what form such assistance will be
given, Matsuda added.
A Foreign Ministry task force,
Matsuda noted, began two weeks ago
exporing ways in which Japan could
assist the American effort; its work
will not be ready for the meeting
scheduled
Monday
between
Nakasone and Reagan.
"We believe we should do something to cooperate with other Western
nations," Matsuda said. "We cannot
take any military action whatsoever.
So the logical consequence is financial assistance...."
Matsuda's statement was the first
official declaration that Japan will
provide financial assistance for the
U.S. patrol and escort activity in the
Persian Gulf.
Previously, Japanese officials had
said only that the Foreign Ministry
was considering the possibdity.
It came four months after Japanese

diplomats, on the eve of the Venice
economic summit in June, ruled out
any consideration of financial assistance unless some kind of U.N. organization were set up to protect shipping in the gulf.
Japanese reluctance to get involved melted only after Britian,
France, Italy, and the Netherlands
announced plans to take part in the
protection effort , leaving Japanwhich gets 60 percent of its oil from
Persian Gulf producers- conspicuously absent from the assistance efforts .
Although the U.S. government has
not asked Japan for help through diplomatic channels, Ambassador Mike
Mansfield , in a speech last Monday,
publicly urged Japan to contribute in a
non-military fashion to the protection
of shipping in the gulf.
Nakasone is expected to face a
demand from Reagan that he resolve a
bitter dispute over the failure of U.S.
companies to win substantial contracts in the construction of a new $7
billion Osaka Airport. U.S. officials ,
it has been reported here, are considering lodging a formal complaint of
unfair trade practices against Japan
over the airport project
If found to have discriminated
against U.S. companies, Japan would
be subject to retaliatory trade penalties.
Last Wednesday, the prime minister instructed his transportation minister to come up with new measures to
ensure equal Opportunity for U.S.
construction companies to win airport
contracts.
Nakasome will be meeting Reagan
for the 12th time in what has become
a widely publicized first-name "RonYasu" relationship. It is likely to be

their last while Nakasone is still in
office. His term as president of the
ruling Liberal Democratic Party expires Oct. 30, and, after a successor is
chosen, he is expected to resign as
prime minister to clear the way for

Parliment, probably in early November, to elect the new ruling party chief
as head of government.
The prime minister , who arrived in
New York on Saturday , is scheduled
to deliver a speech to the U.N.

Philippine President Corazon
Aquino fired her two most trusted
Cabinet aides last Thursday in a personall y painful move aimed at defusing widespread military unrest and
resolving the nation 's morst political
crisis since she took office 18 months
ago.
After three weeks of intense pressure from her most powerful political
supporters following a bloody military revolt dial nearly drove her from
power, the president flatl y announced
on national television that she had
accepted the resi gnations of her executive secretary, Joker Arroyo, and
her special counsel, Teodoro Locsin
Jr.
__ The two men were "like family" to

the president, one top aide said. Bodi
ranked among the closest friends and
advisers to Mrs. Aquino as well as to
her late husband, Benigno Aquino Jr.
Both served in her inner-most circle,
first as key campaign strategists in her
1986 election bid to unseat Ferdinand
E. Marcos and later as Cabinet aides
so powerful that many Filipinos believed that they were actually the ones
running the govenment.
Just 12 hours before, Mrs. Aquino
has quiedy accepted the resignation of
her trusted appointments secretary,
Narcisa Escaler.
One official close to Mrs. Aquino
commented Thursday, "This most be
one of the worst weeks of Cory
Aquino's life. She must feel so
alone."
In announcing what officials later
said was the final installment of the
president's much-heralded Cabinet
restructuring, Mrs. Aquino said that
Arroyo "made his resignation
irrevocable...in hopes that this would
bring peace and quiet to the government," and she praised the former
street activist as "a man of proven
courage."
Mrs. Aquino, her expression
strained, told the nation that she was
"on top of the situation" and appealed
to her 58 million countrymen not to
"listen to this disinformation campaign," an apparent reference to the

Hazing laws topic of meeting

Jack Risdon
f o r The Voice
Representative groups from the
Interfraternity Council and the Intersorority Council met Thursday with
administrators to discuss the new
university hazing policy in what was
later termed a positive meeting.
Robert Norton, Dean of Student
Life, Dr. Gerrold Griffis , vice-president for Student Life, and Lori
Barsnes, the greek advisor,were pres-

ent to discuss the new hazing policy
and its 27 points with students from 4
fraternities and sororities.
I.F.C. President Jeff Smith said the
group openly discussed the new policy and spent quite a long time on
some of the new policy 's points.
Smith added, "We had to sit down
with the administration and discuss
our likes and dislikes of the
policy...Change is difficult and we are
trying to reach some common ground;

a policy that does the most for the
greek system and the administration..."
Alterations made in the policy
must be reviewed by university legal
counsel before they can be changed.
The IFC and ISC committees,
along with the admistrators, will meet
again on Friday, Sept. 25, to further
discuss the hazing policy and possible
changes.

Bork a fine justice

by Paul Mellon t
Staff Columnist
Robert H. Bork is the Supreme
Court nominee chosen by Ronald
Reagan to replace Justice Lewis
Powell , who retired this summer. As
far as being qualified for the job as a
Supreme Court justice , few can compare with Justice Bork.
He served for 15 years as professor
of law at Yale. He served briefl y as
solicitor genera l in the Nixon Administration where he first caught the
public eye by firing special prosecu tor
Archibald Cdx. When Cox asked the
White House for the infamous 'tapes',
Nixon ordered his Attorney General
to lire him.
The Attorney General as well as the
'Deputy ' General quit , leaving the job
to Bork , who carried it out.
In 198 1 he was nominated by Reagan to the prestigious Court of Appeals. The American Bar Association
gave him their best rating, 'exceptionally well qualified. '
Joe Bidcn , who was on the Judiciary Committee in 198 1, voted for
Bork and even went so far as to say
Bork was qualified for the Supreme
Court. As a justice on the Court of
Appeals , never once was one of his
court opinions overturned by the
Supreme Court.

Senator Ted Kennedy, sinking to
new depths of ignorance, has been
maliciously attacking Bork since he
was nominated. In a major turn
around , Joe Bidcn , the Judiciary
Chairman , has shot down any hopes
of display ing presidential character
by saying he now opposes Bork lor
the Court , even thoug h Bidcn was
quoted saying exactl y the opposite six
years ago.
And to think people were horrified
to hear Oil ic North lie. The AFL-CIO,
NAACP, ACLU , NOW and every
other liberal group with an acronym
has been spending millions to stop
Bork.
The reasoning for this is about as
typical as you can jict. Bork is too
right-wing and on it goes.
For those, however, who know
about Justice Bork and his legal as
well as philosophical beliefs , it is quite
obvious wh y some people (liberals)
arc so adamentl y opposed lo die Bork
nomination .
Jusicc Bork believes the duty of the
legislature on the federa l and state
level is to make laws and enforc e
those laws as laid out by our
Constitution. The members of the
Supreme Court have not been elected
by die people. Thus they do not have
the right to impose their will on the
people. You mi ght think that it is not

case established abortion as the law of
the land despite the fact that in. 1973
thirty one states had enacted laws
making abortion a crime.
Other court cases have allowed for
the banning of religious prayer in the
classroom , the banning of the death
penally. The court likewise expanded
the rights of criminals and created its
own laws in regard to affirmative
action as well as new interpretations
of anti-trust law.
The result of this has been an unjust
usurpation of legislative power by the
Judicial branch. This is precisely the
point addressed by Justice Bork over
his judicial career.
Despite the pathetic propaganda
and blatan t distortions of truth from
the Left , Justice Bork is not out to

Romancing the quota

Parking not BU 's real pr oblem

by Greg Markle
Guest Columnist
Call il what you wish , "college",
"univers i ty", "institution of hi gher
learning ", all such institutions arc
occupied by peop le of above average
intelligence who are experts in their
fields.
And what is the product of such a
concentrated gathering of intelligcncia? A well organized educational
system? A well structured and defined
program? A "utopian " educational
dreamland? Not cxacdy. Usuall y il
leans more towards what I would call
"premed i tated mass confusion ", as
I' m sure most students would agree.
But , what I wish to tell all my fellow
"Buppies " is, we are not alone!
I' ve heard a lot of talk about a parking problem here, but when compared
to the University Park campus of Penn
State, this is parking heaven. I worked
as a disk jockey in Suite College for
almost a year , and wilh its 270+ buildings, a multitude of on-campus roads,
tiny parking lots (some accomidate
onl y three cars), 30,000 students , and
16,000 employees , the PSU campus is
a parking holocaust.
This fact was well displayed in the
1985 Homecoming parade held there.
The theme was "Penn State: You 'll
Find It Here , and die winning float
was decorated with a Pink Panther in
a car and a sign board that read , "Penn
Stale: You 'll Find It Here , If you find
a place to park". And if you were one
of the many to be angered by the
removal of the commuter parking by
Navy Hall (when do the McCormick
spots go? Next summer?), then listen
to this.

After the summer of 1986, students
returned lo find that all the mid-campus tennis courts had been paved over
for "faculty parking only ". This
meant that six of die eleven on-campus courts, over 50% of diem , were
removed from "student recreation
area" to "faculty onl y parking ". The
administration justi fied diis by stating
that die courts were "too expensive to
repair ". Of course, when you let them
fall apart the way they did , it becomes
easy for dial situation to arise. But ,
there is at least one diing PSU' s Main
Campus has over BU , no hills!
But , then again , I don 't think the BU
hill is thai bad. Those who find it too
much for them had better not visit
Mansfield University. I spent some
time there one summer, and all the
dorms are located at the bottom of
what is called Heart Attack Hill .
And il earns its name every day,
since the cafeteria , classrooms, gymnasium , and all other non-dormitory
buildings are on top of the hill. I also
had the distinct pleasure of trudg ing
up to the "Highacres" campus of PSU
al Hazleton for two semesters, and if
you know what kind of weather
Hazleton has in the winter , you can
sympathize with the students there. If
you ever do get to slog up the slopes of
Highacres someday, don 't forget to
walk up by the Athletic Building
where you can wipe the snow off the
marker that stands at the highest point
(the elevation type) in Pennsylvania.
But , I mustadmit , BU outdoes them
all with its outstandingly misguided ,
ill-conceived , problematic, time consuming, pain-in-the-back-of-myfront registration proceedures. Even

To the Editor:
I suppose its just one of those things
that I manage to get myself into. After
a few UGLY incidents with The
Voice and my journalism class last
semester, I swore that I would never
endure it again. I would stick to the
world of fiction , that I was so fond of.
I never saw it coming. It was almost
as if God himself was calling me as I
walked across the campus. It was all
very proper.
"Douglas Rapson . Mr. Rapson , I
need to talk to you!"
With a flash of red hair and a fluster
that is only done justice by her intelligent nature, Lisa Cellini came roaring
down the pavement. I never thought I
would hear the day. SHE needed to
talk to ME.
You see. I had written a farcical

paper (NO, not Another Voice) which
had a rather comical piece about the
crimson-locked editor. She found il
rather good and decided that I was
going to write for The Voice.
To use the term 'female Clark
Kent' may seem a bit corny. However,
as this very attractive strawberry
blond stared down over her spectacles, I found myself weakening. It
was looking like trouble, sports fans.
Lisa is rather attractive, in her own
way, and as she continued to extol my
virtues as a writer, pushing her glasses
up every now and then , I found myself
reasoning.
"You know ," I thought, "it wasn't
really all THAT bad. I could write an
occasional piece without dealing with
all of the junk that I had to last year."
"...and that 's why you should write

thought perhaps we shouldn 't see
each odicr any more, I said , "Yup, I
think you 're right." Bad move on my
part.
I had been fortunate in this particular situation. Although I was very
fond of the girl , we had not been
involved long enough for me to develop the hcad-over-hecls, lost-inihe-clouds sort of love. I broke off the
relationshi p with no real emotional
loss, while she was probably badly
hurl. I should have fei gned remorse
and extreme sorrow, if only for her
self-esteem.
Try not to be logical in your relationships. I used to date a Vulcan
woman , and it was terrible. She
snored tclepalhicall y.
She kept
knocking me unconscious whenever
she tried to give me a shoulder rub.
Worst of all , she won all the fights
because she could argue in more
languages than I could. She had the
loveliest ears, though...
It never would have worked out.
She was angry because I achieved
Kolinahr , the Vulcan symbol of total
and complete logic, before she did. I
got mine through a correspondence
course. She never forgave me for that.
Try not to insult or embarrass your
mate in public. If she mispronounces
Croalobaltislavonia or uses the salad
fork to feed the cat, pretend not to
notice. When you get home, you can
have a loud argument about the incident. Otherwise, your neighbors will
not know that you are romantically
involved.

Always find something nice to say
about your partner 's appearance. I
have a bad habit of saying nothing at
all , even though I usuall y notice the
slightest changes. For example,
women like to come home with a new

hair style from time to time. Since I
approve of the new look about half the
time and am repulsed the other half, I
say nothing at all in the hopes that
she'll think I didn 't notice. Thatway,
I don 't have to tell her that she looks
like a gangrenous floormop.
This leads to a rather tricky situati on. I can 't say something like,
"Gee, dear, you looked really nice
yesterday," or, "Well , I see the
hairsty les have taken a turn for the
worst again." Not unless I want leftovers for a month. How do you tactfull y inform your main squeeze that
she looks really awful?
You don 't. You wait until her hair
grows back , compliment her abundantly on her nice new long hair, and
casually comment that Victoria Principal looks much better now that she's
grown her hair long.
The last piece of advice I have may
seem odd, but it can mean the difference between a successful relationship that lasts a lifetime and a fortyyears war: pay attention to the little
things. When she hints that it might be
better for dirty socks to go in the
hamper instead of on the floor, she
means that you 're irritating the heck
out of her. Make the attempt to be
more tidy, it may extend your life
extpectancy.
Again, I realize that you will probably read this column , chuckle a bit,
forget the whole thing and make the
same mistakes two years from now. I
know that. However, I would be reticent in my duties as the Staff Troublemaker and overall father figure if I
neglected to pass along the fruits of
my experience.
Also, don 't make the mistake of
thinking these things don 't apply to
you. Male or female , you slid have to
take the other person's feelings into
account. We're not that different.
Oh, one more thing. Take turns

The summer of 1959; one not soon
forgotten by four 12-year-old Oregon
boys. Thirty years later one still recalls the experience: this is the storyline of Stand By Me. Richard
Dreyfuss narrates the special day of
that summer when the four adventurous boys hiked along the railroad
tracks to find the body of a peer hit by
a train.
The significance of the story lies
not only in the search for the body, but
in their search for maturity . Tlje journey is an accurate representation of
the joys and pains of pre-teens. They
smoke, curse, and play cards - thing
most everyone can relate to their own
childhood. But these boys had problems, too. Gordie (portrayed by Wil
Wheaton) is unable to gain any attention from his parents since the death of
his popular brother. His literary

talents are recognized only by his
friend Chris (River Phoenix), who,
coming from a family with a bad reputation, wants only to be given a fair
chance, something he has never had.
Teddy (played by Corey Feldman) is
struggling to reconcile his feelings for
his institutionalized father, while
Vern (Jerry O'Connell) is just looking
for somewhere to fit in. The contrast
of these feelings provide for a majority of the action.
Under the direction of Rob Reiner,
StandBy Me enthusiastically portrays
the four youngsters growing up. Reiner creates the atmosphere by the use
of music, language and scenery of the
50's.
Stand By Me uses a perfect combination of comedy and drama, leaving
the viewer with warm feelings and
recollections of his own past. This
film is a must, you won't be disappointed .

South A f rican apartheid laws

I'hoto by Jim LocU

Commission suggests changes
by William Claiborne

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

A presidential commission Thursday recommended significant but
cautious changes in apartheid laws
that rigidly segregate residential areas in South Africa by race, proposing
that communities be given the local
option to open themselves to all races
if diere is a consensus to do so.
The recommendations prepared
over three years by a constitutional
committee of the advisory President 's
Council provide numerous doors that
can still be shut on blacks seeking to
move into white areas, virtually guarenteeing that most of South Africa
will remain racially segregated.
But if approved by the government
and Parliment, the proposed changes
to the 1953 Group Area Act would for
the first time remove statutory barriers to housing integration and make
possible non-racial voting on die local
level and even integrated schools if
mixed communities wanted it.
The commission acknowledged
that the practical effect of the proposed reforms would probabl y be to
open up affluent, all-white suburbs to
those non-whites who can afford
them , while blue-collar communities
are likely lo exercise the option to
remain racially segregated.
The proposal s would also integrate
all business districts in South Africa
and scrap the 34-year-old apartheid
law that designates segregated facilities, such as beaches, on a nationwide
basis. However, local governments
and the owners of privately owned
public facilities would be allowed to
discriminate by race.
Initial reaction by leaders of South
Africa 's 85 percent non-white majority was critical , and was accompanied
by demands that the Group Areas Act
be thrown out in its entirety .
Only one of the four non-whites on
the 17-member constitutional
committee, T.L. Gounden , an Indian ,
signed the 150-page report , and that
was with the notation that he opposes
the principle of the Group Areas Act
but believes that the recommandations will lead to its repeal.
The chairman of the committee,
Andries Oosthuizen, said in a briefing
of reporters that the underlying principle of the proposals was that no
community should be intregrated
against the will of its residents. But at
the same time, he said, neighborhoods
that want to change their character
through intregation should not be
barred statutorily from doing so.
Oosthuizen said, "You need to have
an appreciation for a historic situation
that has developed over the centuries.
By totally uprooting this immediately, I think you 're looking for
trouble and insecurity."
President Pieter W. Botha has repeatedly declared his support for segregated communities and schools as
guarantees of cultural values. A statement released by the state Bureau for
Information on behalf of . his office
said the Group Areas Act, like any
other law , is subject to possible
amendment, and that while the govenment stands behind the principle that
group rights must be protected , "it
must also be possible to make provision for those who prefer a different
lifestyle."
Government sources noted that

Botha last year held up the release of
a previous draft of the report because
it did not deal adequately with the
implications for voting rights in integrated communities. The sources lefl
the impression that Thursday 's recommendations would not have been
released if there had been strong objections by Botha and his Cabinet.
Oosthuizen told reporters that once
the recommendations are approved
by the grovernment , they could go
into effect within six months.
The proposal s provide two ways
that blacks , those of mixed-race
known as Coloreds, and Indians can
move out of their designated residential areas inio other communities.
An indivdual black , for example,
could apply for what in effec t would
be a zoning variance would be used ,
including petitions , thc .hearing of the
views of the residents and , in some
cases, referendum.
Based on consensus of the community , the local govenment would
decide whether to gran t permission.

Pass/Fail ovtion

Policy change a positive move

by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor
Sitting behind a desk strewn with
papers, Joan Walton knows she has
her work cut out for her. As the Coordinator of Academic Records ,
Teacher Certification , and Commencement at Bloomsburg University, Walton must process hundreds of
forms filled out by students wishing to
take classes pass/fail.

Many will be granted the pass/fail
option , but more students than usual
will be denied the right to take a class
pass/fail.
Because what many students didn 't
realize before they handed in the
form , was that on March 14, 1987,
Bloomsburg University ammendcd
and approved a new pass/fail policy.
The new policy, which affects all
freshmen, transfer, and re-entering
students, states that students can use
the pass/fail only towards a free elective class.

to make an already successful mixture of a big motor in a small (by '66

Tiger Car was tamed. Not domesticated, just tam ed.
The GTO was finall y given its own

restyling of already beautifu l sheetmetal. The new body was only

The other day, I was flipping
through the pages of People magazine. And what to my wondering eyes
should appear but a joll y Santa wearing industrial-strength long underwear in a polyfiber snowstorm. I had
to pause and consider the date. September 13. Maybe it 's just me, but I
thought Christmas came in December. Did I miss something? Have the
leaves changed color behind my
back? Autumn has barely begun , and
Santa is furiously circling overhead in
a sleigh. Oh, woe are we!
Chalie Brown said it would
happen. One day we 'd be looking
for a Halloween mask in October,
and we'd get lost in a forest of nonflammable, artificial Christmas
trees. The dreaded curse of holiday
commercialization has finally struck

full force.
This has not been limited to
Christmas alone, unfortunate ly. In
the middle of August , a local store
actual ly displayed Halloween items.
I laughed along with the storcgirl
who was setting up the display.
Picking up a felt 'bat beenic', I
asked , "Don't you think it 's a little
early to be pulling out diis stuff?"
She just chuckled and said ,"I don 't
understand it either. Believe me, this
was not my idea." You bet. Only
corporate minds could think of
something as ingenious as a yearround holiday shopping spree,
leaving clerks to deal with hecklers
like me without a nearby holiday
with which to defend themselves.
Is it possible mat the corporate
world, that nebulous, headless
horseman which holds the reins of
our consumerism in its hands, wants

us to consider each holiday a spendfest? How devious. Guess they
thought we'd never figure it out.
Knowing the truth doesn't defend
us much , though. Imagine getting
back to basics and eschewing the
gifts , candy, etc. that substantiate so
many of our holidays. "Merry
Christmas, Jennifer. As my best
friend , I' ve decided to give you
nodiing as a gift. I hope you like it.'
Wrong answer. Perhaps the best
way lo defend ourselves from this
consistent consumer barrage is to
take each holiday in moderation.
So what if Santa tries to promote
bikini underwear in a summer issue
olPeople magazine? Ignore it. Be
conscious of it's presence, but
ignore it. Because contrary to
corporate belief , you do know
what 's going on. And you know
Santa can 't fit into bikinis anyway.

The Pontiac was right in the heat of
the performance fray. The 389 cubic
inch motor produced 360 horsepower
when Tri-Power equipped , more than
most of its competition , and the GTO
tipped die scales at just around 3600
pounds , about the same as its other
Coke-bottle competitors from Ford,
Chevy, Mercury and Oldsmobile.
The GTO was a master stroke of

"The Soviets cooperated in July

the U.S. official said, who spoke on

"When the situation seemed to stabilize after that, the Soviets became
much less anxious to offend Iran."

In response, Weinberger Thursday
announced establishment of a Task

'Hacke r * causes a computer panic

By Michael Isikoff

L.A. Times-Washington Post News Service

under a new federal law that prohibits
computer theft or to turn the case over
to the Cook County State's Attorney's
office. He said that while Zinn 's status
as a juvenile is a factor in the case, the
government nevertheless viewed this,
as a "very serious violation."

A 17-year-old Chicago high school
student using a personal computer in
his bedroom broke into AT&T computer systems around the country,
stole $1 million worth of sophisticated software and was "on the verge"
of being able to disrupt the company's
Karen Plant , a lawyer for Zinn , said
telephone network, according to fed- Thursday that the youth "categorieral prosecutors and phone company cally denies doing anything that he
officials.
should not have been doing. I can
The youth also appears to have
gained access to AT&T computers at
two military bases: the NATO Maintenance and Supply Headquarters in
Burlington, N.C., and Robins Air
Force Base in Georgia, an Air Force
logistics command center, acording
to prosecutors. The computers did not
store classified or sensitive material ,
they said.
The Chicago Tribune reported that
records of long-distance phone calls
from the youth's phone showed that
attempts were made to gain access to
computers at the accounts payable
department of The Washington Post,
a hospital in South Bend, Ind., and
computers in Columbus, Ohio, Rye,
N.Y., and Pipe Creek, Tex.
An AT&T spokesman said that the
incident was "certainly, one of the
more serious" cases of unauthorized
computer access that the telecommunications firm has yet encountered.
"We view this kind of Yuppie vandalism that is quite costly to us," said
Burke Stinson, an AT&T spokesman.
According to Stinson and a federal
prosecutor in Chicago, AT&T security officials first discovered late
April that an unidentified outsider has
broken into some of its computers.
Following up on information supplied
by the company, a team of agents from
the Secret Service, the FBI and the
Defense Criminal Investigative Service obtained a search warrant Sept. 4
and raided the north side Chicago
home of Herbert Zinn.
Among the material seized from
Zinn's bedroom were three personal
computers, an AT&T 7300 and two
Ataris, as well as computer discs
containing copies of software he had
transferred into his computers. The
case was first reported in Thursday 's
Chicago Tribune.
Assistant U.S. attorney William
Cook said Thursday that his office is
evaluating whether to prosecute Zinn

assure you that my client had
absolutely no sinister motives in
terms of stealing property . ...Right
now , we're very much in the dark as to
what this is all about."
According to Cook, Zinn had used a
"computer hacker 's billboard" which distributes the phone numbers
and access codes of various computer
systems - to help break into AT&T' s
Bell Labs computers in Naperville,
III., and New Jersey.
Operating under the code name of
"Shadow Hawk," Zinn then transferred sophisticated Bell Labs software, including "artificial intelligence" programs, lo his personal
computer, Cook said. Bell Labs has
valued the software at about $1 million , he said.
Cook, citing an affidavit filed by a
Secret Service agent, also said that
Zinn was close to tapping into the
"internal operations of the telephone
system itself," including AT&T's
central switching system.

"He was knocking on the door to
being able to gain the kind of access
that would have allowed him to disrupt the (telephone) system," said
Cook. "He was on the verge of being
able to alter, man ipulate or halt the
telephone system."
But Stinson said Zinn could not
have created nationwide havoc with
the phone system.
Nevertheless, several persons familiar with the case Thursday said the

incident embarrassed AT&T and
showed potentially serious lapses in
its security.
Gary Lucke, assistant director of
computer services at the Post, said the
newspaper was unaware of its computers being compromised.

Panthers fall to Warrior Run, 13-7

by Heather Abell
for the Voice

Coming off a heartbreaking 8-0
loss to Southern Columbia last *
Friday at home, the Bloomsburg
Hi gh Panthers seemed ready for the
Defenders of Warrior Run , but the
Panthers play began to reflect the
weather, both kept getting worse.
The Panthers were the first to
score when , at the 6:34 mark of the
first quarter , Jamie Gutshall ran it in
from the four yard line.
Tom Pursel converted the extra
point and the Panthers led 7-0.
Late in the first quarter, the

Panthers lost a fumble deep in their
own territory. The Defenders were
quick to capitalize on Bloomsburg 's
mistake and used it to set up a three
yard touchdown run by Chris
Higgins
. The extra point was good and the
score was deadlocked at 7-7.
For the next two quarters both
teams seemed to be battling the
elements as much as each other
because neither team could hold
onto the football.
Finally, with 10:24 left to play ,
Warrior Run 's quarterback comp leted a short pass that turned into a
80 yard run after the catch by split

end Dan Fleegor. John Brumbaugh s
kick was no good and the score was
13-7 Warrior Run.
From there no other points were
scored with the Defender defense.
living up to their name by stopping
Bloomsburg twice inside the ten to
preserve the victory.
With the victory, Warrior Run
earns a conference win.
The loss dropped Bloomsburg to
0-1 in the Central Susquehanna
Conference (CSC) and 1-2 overall.
It was the second straight loss by
the Panthers who will be playing at
home against Lewisburg next week.

Stop knocking
the Penn State
schedule

by Mike MUllen
Sports Editor

Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

I'm not really sure when it
started, I only know that it has
been used as an exscuse for too
long. It cost them one national
championship in the early
seventies and nearly cost them a
second last year.
I am talking about the infamous
"Penn State schedule."
When I read what sportswriters
say about the teams that Penn
State has to play I wonder why
they don't go undefeated every
year. It seems, according to the
sportswriters, that Penn State
plays teams like Holy Cross
every week, and at Beaver
Stadium no less.
Nope, sorry.
Real Penn State fans know that
their team plays quality teams
every year. Sure, they play
Bowling Green and Cincinatti ,
but they also play Alabama,
Temple, Syracuse, Boston
College, Pitt and Notre Dame.
Everyone snickers when you
say, Temple.' But they just
stunned Pittsburgh 24-21 this
past weekend, so they must be
for real.
Pittsburgh, you ask? Yes, Pitt is
alive and kicking and back to the
form that gave them a national
title in 1976. They were ranked
16th before falling to Temple.
Syracuse is no slouch and has
been known to knock some big
guys ontheir duffs if taken too
lighdy.
As for Notre Dame, if people
aren't careful, weli let's just say I
won't be the least bit surprised if
the Fightin ' Irish play in a major
bowl this coming January one
with the outcome deciding the
national championship.
Without even trying I named
three top 20 teams that Penn
State has to play, and another
that is close.
Besides, who said that you
measure a shcedule by how many
top 20 teams you play?
How many does Nebraska play?
Don't you get a little tired of
hearing the scores come rolling
in on television?
"...and at Nebraska today, the
comhuskers defeated Colorado
54-6..."
When do you think that a team
like Colorado will ever make a
serious run at the national title?
The conference title? The top 20,
maybe?
Let's get real, everybody
schedules easy teams for some
home games just to give the fans
something to cheeer about.
When was the last time that you
heard of Oklahoma scheduling
Miami for their Homecoming? It
just doesn't happen (except in
Bloomsburg, we scheduled
Millersville, figure that out).
What bothers me is the fact that
no one ever complains about
Alabama's schedule or Auburn's
schedule, only Penn State s.
Maybe the reason why is
because Alabama and Auburn
have bad years every now and
then while Penn State keeps on
winning and winning. They are
25-2 over their last 27 games.
How many teams can say that
they had the chance to play for
the national title two years in a
row?
Not many.
Maybe what gets folks mad is
the fact that Joe Paterno wins
without cheating. Have you ever
heard rumors of an NCAA
investigation of PSU? You never
will.
My guess is that people don't
object to the schedule but rather
to the fact that Paterno refuse to
run up the score.
Everyone at State College
knows why though. When PSU
wins they ring a victory bell, you
guessed it, as many times as they
scored.
Would you like to hear Carver
go off 41 times?
Neither would Joe.

For someone who has won five
straight unlimited hydroplane Gold
Cup races to share a 65 - year - old

record with the legendary Gar

pessimistic about winning number
six.
"The bottom dropped out of our

At Lock Haven this weekend the
Huskies managed to soar over the
Eagles of Lock Haven in a 25-6 victory.
The Huskies kept the Eagles on the
run with a constant drive to the goal
line. The first half was the Huskies'
most productive with Curtis Still and
Tom Martin giving the Huskies their
first two scores. Jay Dedea had a great
first half with Still as his favorite target and moving the team downf ield on
5 completions for 121 yards, giving
Bloomsburg their first touchdown.
Lock Haven tried to keep on top of
things, but it only made the BU defense thirster. The only big threat to

the Huskies was when LHU drove
downficld from thcirown 37 yard line
to the Husky 20 where Dyro ff (LHU)
tried a field goal and missed.
It took the Huskies 3 plays after the
ball changed hands to score another
touchdown when Dedea threw an 8
yard pass to Martin for anotlier Bloom
score. Mingrone went for the extra
point , but it wasn 't good and that left
the Huskies on top at the end of the
first hal f with a lead of 19-0.

with saving the life of driver Steve

during a preseason test on Lake

A major problem facing Hanover
and Kropfeld is that the Mission
Bay course here is salt water, which
is anathema to turbines.
Last year, neither Miller American nor Miss Budweiser finished the
race. The salt built up on the
turbine blades and caused overheating.

"The problem point is running at
low speed from the dock, before the
boat gets up to racing speeds,"
Hanauer explained, "all the turbine

tofilter out most of the salt before it
reaches the blades."
