Iran president denies mining

by Norman Kempster

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Iranian President Ali Khamenei , in
a long and vitriolic speech to the U.N.
General Assembly, threatened Tuesday to retaliate for the U.S. attack on
what he said was an unarmed Iranian
frei ghter in the Persian Gulf by striking at U.S. interests anywhere in the
world.
"This is a beginning for a series of
events, the bitter conscnqucnccs of
which shall not be restricted to the
Persian Gulf , and the United Stales as
the insti gator of the trouble shall hear
responsibility for all ensuing events,"
Khamenei said. "I declare here very
unequivocally that the United Slates
shall receive a proper response for this
abominable act."
In his hour-and-15-minute speech ,
Khamenei left no doubt that Iran rejected the U.N. Security Council' s
resolution ordering a cease-fire in the
seven-year-old Persian Gulf war.
After the Iranian 's speech , Secretary of State George P. Shultz said the

United States would "proceed with
consultations" to drum up support on
the
Security Council for an arms
embargo against Iran as the "intransigent party " in the war.
There was no indication , however,
of when the United States would put
an arms embargo before the 15member council, although Shultz said
he was optimistic that the measure
would pass, Security Council sources
said the outcome was far from certain.
Iraq has announced that it will abide
by the cease-fire if Iran will , and so the
United States considers Iraq to be in
compliance with the resolution.
Kham enei, an imposing fiqurc with
a bushy salt-and-pcpper beard and
wearing a black turba n over his hair,
said Iran would neveragree to a ceasefire because a truce would only allow
Iraq to rebuild its military might and
renew the war.
"The only guarantee for the future
is the punishment of the aggressor,"
he said. He declared punishing Iraq to
be Iran 's highest priority.
Khamenei described the U.S. ex-

planation that American helicopters
attacked an Iranian ship that it found
laying mines in international waters
as "a pack of lies." Although the
United States displayed photographs
showing mines on the deck of the sh ip,
Khamenei insisted that it was a commercial ship.

reported officially, Foreign Ministry
press spokesman Boris Pyadyshev
said late last week that the Soviet
leader was "still on vacalion."
The official Soviet news media,
which customarily informs readers
when the Kremlin leader leaves the
Soviet capital for official trips or
vacation , also have not mentioned
Gorbachev 's whereabouts in the past
month and a half.

told that Gorbachev would be available for a presentation they were planning in Moscow, were suddenl y told
that he would not be free.
Untill this week, Western diplomats here speculated that Gorbachev
was vacationing or preoccupied with
plans for major events scheduled for
later this year, including a U.S.-Soviet
summit meeting in Washington. Visitors to the Soviet capital in the past
month have been told that Gorbachev
is unavailable because he is vacationing, a senior western diplomat said
recently.
Gorbachev was last seen by outsiders here on Aug. 7, in a Kremlin
meeting with American schoolteachers.
Since then , various articles and letters have been published under his
name, a practice that became common
in the days of his predecessors but has
rarely been used during his 2 years in
office.
Two weeks ago, for example , the
official news agency Tass released a
greeting, signed by Gorbachev , to
participants at an international book
fair .
Last week, a major article under his
name was published in the Soviet
Communist Parly newspaper Pravaua.

"...U.S. battleships attacked Iran
Ajr , an Iranian merchant shi p," he
said. "They murdered four and
wounded three people. The ship has
been seized and the crew detained."
Khamenei did not say how Iran
planned to take revenge for the incident , althoug h his comments inplicd
Iran ian-backed terrorism aimed al
American installations. U.S. officials
said previously that intelligence reports showed Tehran was planning
terrorist attacks against U.S. embassies, other dip lomati c missions and
military bases.
Asked about Khamenei' s remarks ,
Shultz said: "They have made threats
for quite some lime. Of course, wc
must have our guard up and be on the

alert, but we can t fail to do a thing that
we m ust do because somebody throws
threats around."
Shultz and Vernon Walters, the
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, boycotted Khamenei's speech.
A lower-level U.S. delegation , led by
Herbert S. Okun , Walter 's assistant,
sat through most of it, but when the
Iranian president began his explanation of the Persian Gulf incident,
Okun led the American contingent out
of the hall.
Okun said later: "The false accusations that he made against our country
distorts the facts and totally misrepresent our policy. I do not intend to sit by
passively when our country is insulted , our president is pilloried and
the truth is trampled."
Iraq boycotted the speech from the
start, and Saudi Arabia walked out
after Khamenei called the Saudis
"American stooges." Soviet Foreign
Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze did
not attend , and Moscow was represented by minor officials.

Gorbachev out of public eye

by Gary Lee

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

MOSCOV - Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev has not appeared publicly
here for six weeks, prompting rumors
that he may have fallen ill.
Gorbachev , who makes frequent
public appearances and often receives
a stream of visitors in his Kremlin
office every week, was last seen here
on Aug. 7. It is the longest period he
has remained out of public view since
becoming the Soviet Communist
Party leader in March 1985.
The West German Bild Zeitung
newspaper reported Monday that
Gorbachev fell ill of food poisoning
while vacationing in the Soviet Crimea and was temporarily hospitalized.
The report could not be confirmed
and officials reached here Monday
dismissed it as rumor. At the same
time, however, they told visiting New
York Gov. Mario Cuomo that a meeting with the Kremlin leader could not
be arranged, giving no explanation.
Bild Zeitung also said Soviet authorities were investigating whether
the food poisoning may have been an
attempt to assassinate Gorbachev , no
sources for its reports.
Asked why Gorbachev 's apparent
departure for vacation had not been

The state-controlled press has published a rash of letters and messages in
Gorbachev 's name during his abscene, giving a public impression of a
flurry of activity in the Kremlin.
Tonight, for instance, as the rumors
about Gorbachev 's illness began to
circulate in Moscow, a commentator
began the evening television news by
reading two letters from Gorbachev one to architects and the other to West
German steel workers.
The Soviet leader also has not appeared at several public performances
at which he had been expected in
recent weeks. Soviet officials expected him to speak at a congress of
young Soviet pioneers on Aug. 30, in
the Soviet city of Artec, for example,
but he did not appear. The following
week, editors of an Ameican news
magazine who had been tentatively

The last time Gorbachev was absent
from public view for an extended
period was during the early days of the
Chernobyl nuclear crisis in late April
and early May 1986. Then he did not
appear publicly for 18 days.

House sets
schedule on
reduction law
by Karen Tumulty
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Somewhat abashedly promising
that Congress would succeed where it
failed before, the House approved
legislation Tuesday that would put the
teeth back into the Gramm-Rudman
deficit-reduction law but set a far less
ambitious schedule for meeting its
goal of a balanced budget.
The legislation would restore the
law 's threat of automatic spending
cuts if Congress does not mer ¦ a set of
deficit-reduction targets. It passed the
House 230-176. President Reagan
has not indicated whether he will
support the bill.
Where the original law envisioned a
balanced budget in fiscal 1991, the
new schedule pushes that deadline
back by two years. What is more, in

Navy Hall exterior
renovation nears end
by Bridget Sullivan
Staff Writer
While the exterior painting of
Navy Hall is almost complete,
plans to renovate the interior are
not expected to be carried out in the
near future , according to
Bloomsburg University 's Director
of Maintenance Don McCulloch.
"Because of (Navy Hall' s) original design ," McCulloch said, "it
still works well for its purpose."
McCulloch added that some rennovations are needed.
McCulloch said that an elevator
and a ramp will be added in 1-2
years to accomodate handicapped
persons. However, he said the plans
for the projec t have not yet been formalized.

McCulloch said the painting
project, which started in July,
should be soon complete. He added
that the university is doing the job
itself. The building has also been
improved by a new landscaping
which replaced the pine trees that
McCulloch said were too close to
the building.
Navy Hall was built in the 1930's
as part of Bloomsburg State Teachers College's extensive building
program financed by Federal
funds . The building was used as a
laboratory junior high school and ,
during World War II , was used as a
Naval Flight Instructor 's School. It
was during time the building was
unofficiall y called "Navy Hall ," by
which the building is now called .

Bomb scare reported

Residents of Lycoming Residence
Hall were evacuated early on the
morning of Sept. 16 for approximately two hours following a bomb
threat received by phone at the reception desk at about 1 a.m.
Students remained in Kehr Union
while a bomb search was conducted ,
and they were allowed to return to
their rooms at 2:56 a.m. after no bomb
was found.

Vice President for Administration
Robert Parrish said the university is
investigating the possibilities of putting voicc-activiated tape recorders
on residence hall telephones in an
effort to see that perpetrators of such
incidents are caught and prosecuted.
"The students are disturbed in their
sleep, their studies are interrupted ,
and we'll do everything we can to see
that it stops," he said.

New f ood service makes debut in Commons
by Michele Bupp
Staff Writer
BU contracted a new food service
for on-campus and off-campus students which began during the summer
term.
The Allentown-bascd M. W. Wood
Company was chosen from several
proposals to fulfill the school 's dining
contract when the five-year food service bid ran out last year.
According to Residence Life Director Jennie Carpenter all state universities had been instructed by SSHE
(State System of Higher Education) to
"be open" to new contracts every five
years for the purpose of allowing the
food menu to be altered to meet the
changing interests of the students.
Carpenter, three assistant directors
of residence life, and a state official
proofed the proposals to find a service
that would ensure quality food with
the funds alloted to satisfy university
and student standards.

We are a quality institution and
wanted to complement this with a
quality dining service," Carpenter
said.
The M. W. Wood Company was
unanimously chosen because "the
contractwas much more flexible than
last year," Carpenter exp lained. For
example, the menu changes every five
weeks compared to the former food
service which practiced a six-week
menu cycle.

Bork a wolf in robes
by Robert Bailey
Staff Columnist
This week in Washington, President Reagan sent his nominee for the
Supreme Court, Robert Bork, to the
Senate for comfirmation.
The Constitution states in Article
Two, Section Two, Clause Two, "The
President shall nominate and by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate shall appoint..Judges to the
Supreme Court..."
The key line there is consent of the
Senate. The Senate must not consent
to Robert Bork as a Supreme Court
justice.
Robert Bork 's political views, in
my opinion , are very scary. He has
opposed such Supreme Court decisions as Roe vs. Wade - the 1973
ruling that gave women the right to
choose whether or not to have an
abortion.
Bork was also highly critical of a
1965 ruling that struck down a law

which barred coupies in Connecticut
access to contraceptives , even
couples who were married.
Bork was also critical of a 1942
Supreme Court decision that struck
down an Oklahoma law requiring
sterilization of habitual criminals.
Bork views freedom of speech , he
wrote in a 1971 Indiana Law Journal
article, as applying onl y to those acts
that are "political."
As far as civil rights , Bork sees
nothing wrong with clauses in contracts that prevent sale or lease to
"negroes" and sees discrimination in
general as an issue not to be addressed
by the Supreme Court.
Robert Bork is an agnostic , is reported to have had several drinking
problems. He was solicito r general

Increased vigilance and spending are
in order. The post-deregulation proliferation and then merging of airlines
(today nine carriers have 90 percent of
the passengers; at 15 major airports,

one carrier has at least 50 percent or
two have at least 70 percent of the
business) has caused financial and
morale problems that are producing
maintenance and operational problems.
Today safety is being purchased by
sacrificing service. Delays are inevitable because of the rising ratio of
metal to tarmac:The number of planes
is increasing much more rapidly than
airport facilities. Everyone wants
more airports; no one wants one next
door. American government is a
thickening web of blocking mechanisms , and Americans are increasingly skillful and aggressive in using
those mechanisms, principally courts,
to stymie action. Los Angeles , Chicago, Miami and other cities need new
airports, but there probably will be no
major airport built in the foreseeable
future .
The problem is not money. There is
a $5.6 billion surplus in the Aviation
Trust Fund - your tax dollars not a
work. The money is put there by users
of the air system, principally travelers
who pay an 8 percent excise tax on
tickets. The politics of "deficit reduction" causes the administration and
Congress to hoard the trust fund , to
avoid adding a drop to the bucket of
red ink.

Unsound policies, and posturing as

across the continent , the carnage is not
as telegenic or newsworthy as rare air

We had better wake up soon. The
best way to do that is by being informed. Nicaragua isn't easy to

make the effort. It ought to concern us
more than almost any other issue.

advocating taking to the streets, but
picking up a newspaper, finding out
about a candidate's stance, a prayer
for peace or a letter to a Congressperson before the vote on continued aid.
The college students of twenty
years ago are a good example for us.

They''ve been over glamourized - but
their incredible cultural and political
force was important. Without them
half of the college population
wouldn 't be able to vote. Hello, hello,
does anyone out there recognize the
word vote?
Twenty years ago college students
made war their issue -1 suspect because they knew they were the ones
dying. I hope we inherited more from
them than a drug problem and some
good music.

But journal ism should do justice to
the fact that last year the average daily
death rate from automobile accidents
was 126. The average Sunday toll was
probably higher than the 156 killed in
the Detroit air crash one Sunday last
month. Any politician inflaming public anxiety by declaiming about the
"crisis" in air safety should be asked
how he voted on increasing from 55 to
65 miles per hour the speed limit on
rural interstate hi ghways. That
change will have the predictable result of producing far more fatalities
each year than will result from airplane mishaps.
Suicide and homicide together are,
after accidents and cancer and heart
disease, the fourth leading cause of
American deaths. Guns were involved in 61 percent - approximately
12,000 - of last year's 19,796 homicides. That one-year total of gun-related homicides is nearly double the
number of fatalities from all accidents
in the history of U.S. commercial
aviation. Lawmakers who will not
control handguns should not fly
around making speeches about air
safety.

Reagan 's Latin America: a cause for concern

Stick to the facts

The Contras do not hold an inch of
ground in Nicaragua; they do not have
widespread support. They are almost
totally dependent on the U.S.
The logical implications are pretty
straightforward. If Reagan 's policy
proceeds we will increase our involvement. This losing battle has
already taken a toll in lives. It could
only be a matter of time before they
are American lives.
I'm not suggesting turning away
from the situation. A Marxist goverment so close to the U.S is a real
danger. But it isn't a case of the black
hats vs. the white hats. Throwing
money and then lives into the jungle
isn't going to help.

What really frightens me is the response of Americans. Public support
for the Contras increased after Oliver
North's testimony. More college students wanted to know where to get an
Ollie North haircut than wanted to
know if he was right. I remember one
student saying she wished they would
take the hearingsoff television so she
could watch her soap operas.

North told Reagan Contras
9
rist
threat
terro
critic was '
by David Hoffman and Joe Pichirallo
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

President Reagan was told in a secret
memo written by Marine Lt.-Col. Oliver L. North last year that Jack Terrell , a self-described mercenary who
had become a vocal critic of the Nicaraguan Contras, was a "terrorist
threat" under investigation by the
FBI, according to documents released
by the congressional Jran-Contra
panels.
The documents have added fuel to
allegations by administration critics
that North , the National Security aide
fired in the Iran-Contra affair, used
the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
discredit opponents of Reagan 's
Contra program.
Sources said congressional IranContra investigators so far have not
been able to substantiate such
charges.
Documents show that at the time of
the memo to Reagan the FBI was investigating Terrell for allegedly
threatening the president. The investigation ended and no charges were
brought against Terrell , who denies
that he threatened Reagan.
An FBI official said the bureau 's
probe of Terrell began independently
of North and was prompted by what
appeared to be a "very real, legitimate
threat." The official said the inquiry
had "absolutely nothing to do" with
Terrell's anti-Contra views.
According to documents released by
the congressional panels, North knew
of attempts by members of his private
Contra support network to uncover
derogatory information on Terrell.
A former Central Intelligence
Agency employee, Glenn A,
Robinette, working with North's network, met with Terrell and described
him as "extremely dangerous", according to a memo by North.
North outlined his concerns about

Terrell in memos he prepared in July
1986 for then-National Security Adviser John M. Poindextcr and for
Reagan . The president read and' initialed one of the memos.
"It is importan t to note that Terrell
has been a principal witness against
supporters of the Nicaraguan resistance both in and outside of the U.S.
government ," North said in the memo
sent to Reagan .
Testimony and documents from the
Iran-Contra investigations have outlined a concerted effort led by North
to shield his secret network from
scrutiny by Congress and the public.
Among other things, North and others
misled Congress about the extent and
nature of North 's Contra activities.
The recently released documents
add another dimension to these disclosures, showing that North was also
worried that Terrell might provide
information to Congress and the press
that would expose the network.

Robert W. Owen, a member of the
private network, said in a January -19,
1985, memo to North ' that ',Terrell
"knows' tob much' and" it would 'do ho
one any good if he went to the press."
He said Terrell "has got to be finessed out."
By July 1986, Terrell had become a
source of critical information about
the Contras to congressional staffers
looking into possible illegal White
House support of the rebels. Terrell
was also providing inform ation to
private groups opposing Reagan 's
Central America program and to journalists.
Less than a month before the FBI
began investigating him on the alleged threat, Terrell had appeared on a
CBS "West 57th Street" broadcast
that in part examined North's secret
involvement with the Contras during
a two-year prohibition on most U.S.

Thatcher supports
U.S. actions in Gulf
by Karen DeYoung

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

British Prime Minister Thatcher
has voiced strong support for Monday
night's attack against an Iranian vessel said to have been laying mines in
the Persian Gulf ,saying the defense of
merchant vessels is "what we are there
to do."
"Look, let's get things straight," she
told reporters who asked whether she
thought the American action would
lead to an escalation of the gulf conflict.
"If that ship was laying mines in an
attack on innocent merchantmen ...
the merchantmen are entitled to expect the navies of the world to defend
them."
Go for the people who are causing
the trouble in the first place,"
Thatcher said.
"There is nothing wrong in defending merchantmen. That is what we are
there to do."
Responding to a separate inciden t
in the gulf Monday night , Thatcher
called an Iranian attack on a Britishflagged tanker "absolutely outrageous."
She told reporters covering her on a
tour of the British Midlands that the
United Nations ought to "go immediately to an arms embargo" against either side in the gulf war that will not
accept a ceasefire."

military aid to the rebels.
According to North , after the CBS
broadscast Robinette was asked to
look into "how much Terrell actually
knows" about the secret Contra network.
North did not name Robinette but
referred to him in the memos as a
security official for "Project Democracy," the name North sometimes
gave to his secret network headed by
retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard
V. Secord.
Poindexter told congressional investigators in his private deposition July
2 that he gave Reagan the Terrell
memo because of the alleged threat on
Reagan 's life.
However, a White House source said
that it is highly unusual for Reagan to
be informed about assassination
threats. In addition , the memoReagan
received is largely devoted to North 's
account of Terrell's anti-Contra activities and includes the comment that
private Contra supporters had been
"particularl y helpful" to the FBI in the
Terrell investigation.
A ..knowledgeable congressional
source said investigators remain
puzzled by Poindexter 's decision to
inform Reagan about Terrell's activities, particularly in light of statements
by Poindexter and other aides that
they generally spared Reagan intricate details of his policy initiatives .
"There is certainly a question about
why they would bring this kind of
thing to the president," the source
said.
Terrell , who now works for the International Center for Development
Policy, an anti-Contra group headed
by former U.S. ambassador Robert
White, said in a recent interview that
the FBI investigation was part of a
"massive campaign" to discredit him
and others.

LOS ANGELES-Surgeon General
C. Everett Koop, long a highly visible
advocate of condom use to prevent the
spread of AIDS, warned Monday that
prophylactics have "extraordinarily
high" failure rates among homosexuals and offer them no assurance of
"safe sex."
Koop said that the same warning
applied to heterosexuals who engage
in anal intercourse and to the spread of
other sexually transmitted diseases in
addition to AIDS.
The statements contradict what has
become an article of faith among
many gays who believe that, aside
from abstinence, condoms offer the
only protection against the AIDS virus.
In an interview, Koop said that he
intended to revise future editions of
his report to the nation on AIDS to distinguish between the protective value
of condoms for vaginal intercourse
and for anal sex. He said that the
original report had never been intended to apply to condom use in
anything but heterosexual vaginal
sex.
The warnings, issued by Koop in an
interview at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he gave the
keynote address in a health conference, contradict a variety of assumptions about the protective value of
condoms, which have increased in
popularity among gays-the group
hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic.
Many homosexuals apparently believe that the use of condoms safeguards them against contracting the
human immunodeficiency virus, the
precursor of AIDS.
"I don 't like to acknowledge mistakes, and I don 't want to use the word
'mistake' in reference to that report,"
Koop said of the study, first issued last
December. "But when I do it over, on
the basis of information we have now
and we (expect) to be getting, it will be
much more explicit as to the expected
failure rate in heterosexual (vaginal)
and homosexual intercourse.''
Koop said that since the initial report was written, he had been "surprised" to find a near-complete lack of
research on condom failure rates and

causes. He noted that thepromotion of
condoms as protection against AIDS,
hepatitis B and herpes had occurred
before the completion of any largescale study to confirm their effectiveness in preventing the spread of viruses.
In addition, he said, little attention
has been paid to the stresses of anal
sex, as opposed to vaginal intercourse, places on condoms. Only one
study, a major research effort now in
its initial stages at UCLA and the
University of Southern California ,
has ever been designed to explore the
various issues of condom breakage
and leakage rates as they relate to
AIDS, he noted.
That study is not expected to produce preliminary results until next
year.
Koop said that he still believed it
was better to use a condom than to
engage in anal intercourse unprotected, but than for homosexuals and
others who engage in such sex, condoms at the very least "should not be
seen as a panacea."
The surgeon general also:
- Reiterated previously reported research that condoms made of lamb
membrane material cannot block the
AIDS virus and other major sexually
transmitted diseases. These so-called
lambskin condoms are popular in
some segments of the gay community
because they resist tearing and breaking, but researchers say the membranes theoretically permit passage of
the AIDS virus.
- Took the condom industry to task
for failing to provide package inserts,
marketing and advertising materials
to support AIDS and other education
efforts. Taking note or an aavertismg
slogan used in one new condom ad
campaign, Koop said, "I don't think
that 'I love you, but not enough to die
for' is a health message. You might be
talking about motorcycles."
- Warned that Americans should
avoid foreign-made condoms imported in bulk and repackaged by U.S.
distributors, often as private-label
brands. Uncertainties about foreign
manufacturing and warehousing procedures make such products dangerous, he said.

the fiscal year that begins nex t month ,
the legislation would accomplish only
two-thirds of the deficit reduction
promised in the budget that Congress
passed only three months ago.
'This is a terrible way to run the
country, and the fact that we have
come to this is a sorry comment on the
president and Congress," Rep. Martin
O. Sabo, D-Minn , said. "It is a clear
display of our inability to deal with the
deficit crisis."
But the House Minority Leader

Robet H. Mitchel .R-IlL , said: We
have broken the evil spell of paralysis
and actually moved forward...! think
we chance to seize the moment and do
some good for the country."

The latest budget-balancing plan
was attached to legislation that would
raise the federal borrowing limit to
$2.8 billion from the current $2.35
bilion- enough, Treasury Department
officials say, to allow the government
to continue operating through May,
1989.

A battle between two classics

by Glenn Schwab
Staff Writer
In 1967, Chevrolet unveiled the
result of "Project XP-836." No, this
was not a hi gh-tech jet fighter or a new
guided missile, as the title might suggest, but rather a sleekly designed and
understated musclecar which Chevy
dubbed "Camaro."
While the Camaro 's smooth lines
and subtle stance suggested it was the
product of insp ired minds at General
Motors, this new Bow Tic offering
was real ly a car of necessity.
GM needed a car which would be
able to compete with a sporty littl e
Ford coupe known as the Mustang.
Ford introduced the Mustang in
1964, hoping to take advantage of the
buy ing potential of a group that was
known as the "youth market." GM
execs thought that this new "ponycar"
would be unable to last the distance
against the well-known Corvair

(Super Spori) and the 2728, a Camaro
could range from mild to wild and
anything in between.
Speaking of wild, let's take a look
at "the" Camaro, the legendary Z/28.
This 1967 Z was a very subtle car.
The only ways it could»bc distinguished from less potent Camaros
was by a pair of thick longitudinal
stripes that graced its hood and trunk
lid and by the 302 cubic inch motor
that was exclusive to the Z/28
through 1969. This hot little V-8 was
conservatively rated at 290 horsepower by Chevrolet, but its real output was in the neighborhood of 350
hp.

Monza and the unbeatable Corvette.
Well, they were wrong.
More than 100,000 Mustangs were
sold in the four months following it's
introduction , a fi gure which sent
Chevrolet scrambling to develop an
"anti- Mustang " car.

The 1967 Camaro generated plenty
of speculation among the automotive
set, but failed to outdo the Mustang
sales figures. In fact , the Camaro
would not outsell Ford 's ponycar until
late in 1977. Despite this, the new
Chevy proved very popular among
the buying public , largely due to its
long list of available factory and
dealer options. This allowed the customer to mix-'and-matc h many options , coming up with a car suited to
his taste , budget , and driving inclinations. With eight engines and three
different models to choose from ,
namely the RS (Rally Sport), SS

While the Camaro proved unable
to defeat the Mustang in the sales department race, it was at least equal to
the Ford , as twenty years of close
competition between the two have
proved .

Most of the programs are open to
both U.S. and non-U.S. nationals , and
to both recent Ph.D. degree recipients
and senior investi gators .
Award s arc made for one or two
years; senior applicants who have
held the doctorate at least five years
may request shorter tenure. Annual
stipends for recent Ph.D.'s for the
1988 program year will vary from
527,150 to $35,000, depending upon
the sponsoring labora tory, and will be
appropriatel y higher for senior Asso-

ociaics.

Reimbursement is provided for allowable relocation costs and for limited professional travel during tenure.

The Inside Cover
LA. is home of heavy metal groups

[_

Ken Kirsch

Dokken , Motley Crue , Quiet Riot ,
Rait , Hanoi Rocks, Van llalen , Poison, Metallica , ...Tesla. The list of
bands from the L.A. surrounding area
that have made it big seems almost
endless these days. It 's phenomenal
how one city could be almost solely
responsible for the latest rock and roll
music fad : the revival and redefinition
of heavy metal.
What started out as an experiment
with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath
in the late 60's, shaped by Aerosmith
and Rainbow in the 70' s, has been
sharpened and redefined by these new
acts.
The latest in the wave is Tesla, a
band out of the Sacramento area. If it
weren 't for the importance of market-

ing in today's music world, their 1986
album , Mechanical Resonance ,
would've made a much bigger commercial impact. Bands simply don 't
make it on talent anymore, it would
seem. As I listened to the tape, I found
myself wishing the volume dial on my
walkman went to 11 (Spinal Tap).
Guitarists Tommy Skeoch and
Frank Hannon put clowns like Quiet
Riot 's Carlos Cavazo, the Crue ' s
Mick Mars, and even the immortal
Eddie Van Hamster (thanks ,
WMMR) to shame.
Side one rocks with a fury as
Skeoch and Hannon sizzle their way
through "Cumin ' Atcha Live," the
Aerosmith-tinged "2 Late 4 Love,"
and"Getti n ' Better." The two of them
combine perfectly with vocalist Jeff
Keith and slide through some nice
tempo shifts on "We're no good together" and "Changes."
Mechanical Resonance
also
spawned the band's firs t MTV single,
"Modern Day Cowboy," a blistering
rocker about 1980's di plomacy.
Professedly less concerned with
writing hit singles, Tesla plays from
gut instinct , with an obvious love for
rock and roll: a rare find these days. It

is for this reason that producers Cliff
Bernstein and Peter Mensch (AC/DC ,
Metallica , Scorpions) decided to take
Tesla on.
Their love for the music and willingness to deviate from the normal
slam-and-ban'g metal mainstream is
apparent. Hannon doubles as keyboardist, adding some nice piano to
"Changes,"and a soulful metal guitar/
mandolin mix on "Little Suzi."
The record closes with "Cover
Queen ," a superbly written piece
about pornography and the highlight
of the album , and "Before my eyes,"
an eerie tune about misperceived reality and a credit to Keith's vocal ability.
Had it not been for less deserving,
megamarket, schlock-rock bands like
Bon Jovi and Poison, as well as the
return of Ozzy Osbourne to the spotlight , grabbing up all the attention ,
Tesla would have done much better
for themselves commerciall y.
For now, though, they can just rest
assured that they 've produced one of
the best metal records in recent history, and hopefully still have enough
left over to buy food and hire a bus
driver.

Mike Warner, the bass p layer of Synch , and the rest of the band had to p lay inside when rain cancelled the lawn concert last week.

CGA offices uo for grabs
by Susan Fallo ws
Staff Writer
The extension of the Community
Government Association petition
deadline appears to have failed to
increase the number of students
running for senate seals.
Jim Fritchmann , CGA vicepresident said the organization
does not have enough candidates to
fully represent the residence halls
and the commuter students.
North Hall and Elwell Hall are
each short a candidate to fill the
available seats. Commuter students
are short two candidates. The
remaining residence halls have the
exact number of candidates
required to fill the positions.
Fritchmann added the freshman
class has no one running for vicepresident and only one person
running for each of the other three
offices. These include president,
secretary, and treasurer.

Both Fritchman and Ed Gobora,
CGA president, noted mat freshmen
do not know what the jobs involve
and are often intimidated.
Fritchman said students running
for the first time are encouraged to
talk with others who have been
senators in the past.
Off-campus candidates are the
only group who outnumber the
available seats. There are 30
students running for 18 seats.
Following the election, the
residence halls lacking full representation will be asked to fill their
allotted seats.
The first CGA meeting will be on
Monday, Sept. 28. Even with the
empty seats, the senate will have a
quorum.

Hungarian students hope to share cultures

by Josef Horvath
for the Voice

Soon after arriving in the United
States, I learned that a famous baseball pitcher was nicknamed the "Mad
Hungarian" because he refused to
have his hair cut or his beard shaven
for an entire season in order to bring
his team good luck. The result was a
rather Samson-like appearance ,
which people assumed representative
of Hungarian men .
I have never seen Al Hrabosky or
heard anything else about him , but his
name (which is not Hungarian) suggests that he must have been of Central European descent. Several coun-

tries in that region , including Hungary, Romania , Czechoslovakia, and
Yugoslavia, are often confused with
each other, and we Hungarians realize
that many people are unfamiliar with
the area and with Hungarian culture.
Recently, I made a trans-Atlantic
phone call to Hungary. After dialing
the number, the operator asked, "So,
is this call to Romania?" I assured her
that it was not, and that Hungary was
quite different from her eastern neighbor; she declined to take much notice
of it.
Similar mistakes are made with
Hungarian culture. Just as Czechoslovakian writer Hasek of the "Svejk

Stories"is likely to be associated with
Hungary, so is Petofi, a great 19th
century Hungarian poet, erroneously
associated with Yugoslavia.
The borders of these countries seem
to have become obscure for many
Western Europeans and Americans.
These nations are small compared to
the United States and Pennsylvania
itself, which is approximately the
same size as Hungary.
Before the Second World War,
when much of Central Europe was
known as Austria-Hungary, the fate
of present Central European countries
was critically interwoven. The development of the Cold War did not allow

Westerners and Hungarians to learn
much about each other. However,
Hungarians have felt they should
portray a more realistic image of their
country for decades.
Ten students from Pecs, a southern
city in Hungary, have come to different universities in Pennsylvania to
pursue academic studies this fall. Two
of these students are currently enrolled at Bloomsburg University.
We hope that our stay here will
show many Bloomsburg students that
there is more to Central Europe than
vague associations of it with baseball
players. We hope to learn about the
American culture and baseball itself.

Sophomoric views on late-night Frosh phone calls

by Doug las Rap son
Staff Writer

Being a sophomore on an all-freshman wing has been an eye-opening
experience this year. Don't get me
wrong, they are really great guys. It's
just some of the things they do.
I'm sure some of them have an eight
o'clock class. It usually happens that
freshmen are lucky that way. At any
rate, I have an eight o'clock philosophy class myself.
If you cringe at the mere thought of
it, you really ought to try it sometime
(though I wouldn 't wish it on Ken
Kirsch). I'm just not a morning person, and the thought of Socrates saying: "I drank WHAT???" sends me
into fits of laughter at 7:30 a.m. on the
way to breakfast.
My pscudo-drowsy/giddy mood is

not at all helped by my neighbors. At
midnight , or shortly thereafter , I usually turn into a pumpkin - that is, if my
neighbors are not taking full advantage of their long distance rates.
I honestly believe that my roommate and I live next to a stock holder
for AT & T.
It's midnight and I've finally put
down that damned philosophy book
after an hour of reading the same
paragraph 37 times. I reason to myself
that the prof will explain it tomorrow
in class, and prepare to retire.
That's when it starts.
A.G. Bell is at it again. I really can 't
figure out who he is talking to, I just
notice that he's doing it rather loudly.
I don 't want to seem like an old lady,
though. It's only 12:03, and he can't
talk for verv lone.

Voice Staff Meeting
Tuesday, Sept. 29 at
7 p.m. in The Voice
office. Newcomers
are welcome.

At 12:33 I poke my head out my
door. "Am I talking too loud?" he asks
with a sheepish grin.
"Yeah," I manage to grunt. "Would
you mind taking it inside your room?"
"Can't, dude. My roomie's got an
eight o'clock, and he's sleeping."
"Where?" I think to myself. "Nelson?"
"Tell you what, though. I'll talk
quieter."
"Quieter than what?" I found myself asking minutes later. Quieter than
the Concorde leaving for London?
Quieter than the last AC/DC album in
all its glory? Or did he mean quieter
than the A-bomb tests in Nevada?
I'm not really sure.
At any rate, when I struggled out of
bed at 1 a.m., I opened the door to find
my neighborjust where I had left him.

CAREER

I didn't even look at him. I just made
my way to the bathroom.
As I returned , I heard him say,
"Well, gotta go - see you Steve."
Down the hall a door opened and I
heard a voice say, "Yeah, see you tomorrow Mark."

NFL players strike

Profile of the Week

Fans Held Hostage :Day 3

NFL Players Association:Strike is on
by Mnrk Asher and
Michael Wilbon
The Washington Post
The National Football League
Players Association began its
second strike, in six seasons early
Tuesday morning.
"As of midni ght tonight, tfeh
players of the National Football
League will be on strike again,"
Gene Upshaw, executive director
of the NFL Players Association,
said Monday night in announcing
the strike on national television
during halftime of the New
England Patriots-New York Jets
game. "None of us wants this, not
the players, not the fans , not the
owners, and that's really, really
sad."

the end of the game in East Rutherford , NJ.
'The only thing going on is the
announcement of a strike," Upshaw
said earlier from union headquarters
here.

Strike is on

"As far as we're concerned , the
strike is on ," said Philadelphia
Eagles player representative John
Spagnola Monday afternoon as
players began clearing out locker,s
and the union began distributing
signs and instructions for
picketing.Upshaw announced that
striking NFL players and members
of other unions would begin
picketing the NFL's 28 practice
facilities Wednesday. That is the
same day the owners are expecting
replacement players to begin practicing for the intended resumption
of the season on October 4. Players
on some teams said they would
begin picketing Tuesday.
A Washington Post-ABC News
poll over the weekend showed that
six of every 10 respondents who

No negotiations held

No new negotiations or conversations between the chief negotiators for the NFLPA and the Management Council , the owner's negotiating arm , were conducted or
scheduled in the waning hours
before the strike became official at

said they are football fans plan to
watch telecasts of these games, even
though the same amount called
using the substitute players "a bad
idea." About one in two respondents
said they side with neither the
players or the owners.
The Management Couincil's
executive committee met in New
York, reportedly to finalize plans for
continuing the season by using
players cut in training camp, veteran
free agents and any union members
who might decide not to strike.
They also formulated a leaguewide
ticket refund p lan. However, there
was no exchange with the players

The Bloomsburg Huskies have
just come off an impressive 25-6
win against Lock Haven, due in part
to a great running back by the name
of Leonard Bluitt.
Bluitt ran 24 yards for a third
quarter touchdown which helped to

Losses are substantial

Each team would lose $1 million
a week if the union shuts down the
league, according to Mike Duberstein, the NFLPA director of
research who said he based this
estimate on figures provided by the
Management Council. The union
estimates player losses would
average about $15,000 per man a
week.

could come in and make the deal to

remained. Who's advising him ,
Greta Garbo?
It may have made sense to him
to stayiout of the way before the
strike, in hope that the owners and
players could reach an agreement
without pressure from the commissioner. But there's no longer a
good reason for him to continue
dancing alone in the dark.
Baseball has shown us the
different postures a commissioner
can take during a strike, there's the
Bowie Kuhn pose: supine, watching the wheels go round and round
sitting on strike waiting for it to
hatch. And there's the Peter Ueberroth pose: sleeves rolled up, hands
on, let's settle this thing before the
soup gets cold. Rozelle has been
Bowie too long: bobbing up ans
down, going nowhere as the waves
roll by.

Whose side is he on?

The major impediment to
Rozelle mediating the strike is that
he's perceived by the players
standing squarely on the owners'
side, upshaw has said the only way
Rozelle should enter the talks is as
the owners' spolesman.
So it's time for Rozelle to do
something bold to show the players
that he's acting in the best interest
of the league: the whole league, the
players, too. It's the time for him to
put his negotiating skills, and
maybe his job, on the line.
First, he should state his determined position to scabism as the
solution to labor-management
problems, and indefinitely postpone the scab games on the
grounds that they're detrimental to
everything the league has stood for
in the last 25 years.
Second, he should order the
owners to open their books, like
Ueberroth did. Let people see if
owners are indeed losing money as
they claim.
Third , noting that football
players have an average NFL
career of less than four seasons and
often flounder after being released
into the real world, he should
express sympathy with the players'
aims for improved severance and
pensions.
Fourth, having tilted towards the
players in three critical areas, he
should urge the players to settle for
a modified compensation plan
regarding free agency and because
the league would be profitable for
all without it.

Then Rozelle should appeal to
both sides to throw-down their guns.
He should suspend all league
activity, including the training of
scab teams, so that neither owners
nor players have an economic
advantage in maintaining their
barricades. And he should scold
them. "I'm sick of these strikes.
They're ruining the game. You
owners say you don 't want them.
You players say you don 't want
them. The fans don 't want them, the
sponsers don 't want them. And I
don 't want them. And you are going
to sit in a room for however long it
takes, and you are not coming out
until you have an agreement. We are
through killing the goose that lays
the golden eggs."

Rozelle as a mediator

He should be heroic by offering
himself as a mediator, and to make
that palatable he should offer to
bring along somebody else upon
whom both sides can agree, some-

one of character, with experience at
compromise, someone beyond
reproach , perhaps Gerald Ford.
To underline his good faith, he
should offer his resignation if this
doesn't work.
Why should Rozelle do this?
For the good of the game,
something he has always pledged
himself to as commissioner. And
because he's 62 years old , and he's
been doing this job for 27 years, and
the ignominy of the last six has
threatened to eclipse everything he
accomplished in the first 21.

Rozelle at his worst

He has been thrashed by Al
Davis, beaten, however pyrrhically,
by the USFL, embarrassed by
Robert Irsay, Leon Hess and
Leonard Tose, and smeared as
nothing more than a well-tanned
figurehead on a short lease. It seems
whenever we see him lately, he's on
the witness stand being interrogated.
Each successive time he looks more

Ostler on Sports

drained. Standing in place of a
confident, aggressive administrator
is a tentative haggard bureacrat.

Rozelle at his best

This is Rozelle's chance to
remind people that it was his under
direction that the NFL became the
preeminent sports league in the
world, that the Super Bowl became
something mythic , surpassing even
the Olympics in sporting consequence, that the value of franchises
skyrocketed as Rozelle successfully
courted television. Rozelle's NFL is
the model which David Stern 's
basketball and Ueberroth's baseball
leagues strive to emulate. This is
Rozelle's chance, and maybe his las
chance, to reverse the revisionist
thinking of recent years.
Why should the players want
Rozelle at the table?
Because he is the best negotiator
professional sports has ever known.
And if he can 't get a fair deal that
can benefit both sides, nobody can.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

Will someone please tell me....

by Scott Ostler
Los Angeles Times
I've been getting a lot of calls
from fans feverishly concerned
about the player-management
dispute that is threatening to tear
apart the National Football League.
Unfourtunately, all I can tell them
is that I, like everyone else, can only
wait until later this week when a
federal court judge in Seattle rules
whether Brian Bosworth may wear
his jersey No. 44, or must go back to
the league-mandated No. 55. 1 only
hope justice is served and no lasting
damage is done to the game.
Also, a few people have phoned
and expressed concern over the NFL
jplayer strike. I don 't have any
answers on that issue, either,
although there are many burning
questions worth posing, to wit:
If the networks deside not to
televise the scab games, how will
we decide which light beer to drink?
Isn't scab and ugly word? Can't
we call these fellows something
nicer, like "JVs," or "Kelly Boys,"
or "backstabbers?"

Persian who?

In a way, isn't it excellent timing
that the strike has come along and
knocked that annoying gulf war out
of the headlines?
Are the players happy now that
they've got what they wanted-an
NFL populated entirely by free
agents?
Why is it you never hear the
adjective "overpaid" used to
describe the owners, who complain
about losing money but always seem
to wind up selling their teams for a
$20 zillion profit, without ever so
much as pulling a hamstring?
Is this really a fair fight, when the
guys and gals on one side of the
dispute are in pro football as a
hobby, while for the fellows on the
other side, with the exception of Bo
Jackson, it's a matter of financial
life and death?

Is it too late for our national
sports leaders to quietly campaign
to add football to the Olympic
Games lineup for 1988? Then , if
the NFL players stay out long
enough, will they regain their
ameteur eligibility? Would we kick
some world fanny in Seoul, South
Korea, or what?
Hey, TV people, can you scrap
your plans to televise scab games
and re-runs of the last Super Bowl
and other classic NFL games?
Would you consider taking the
tapes of the two games each team
has played so far this season and
running them in fast reverse?

BU s swimming teams
welcome new coach
By Kirs ten Lcinmger
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University 's
Women 's swimming and diving
team have begun the rigorous climb
to the Suite Conference meet held in
February . With 14 new recruits,
eight swimmers and six divers, the
women arc on the way to what could
be their strongest season yet, and
very possibly, a top five finish at the
Division II National Championship.
Coach Dave Rider , who begins
his second year as Aquatics Director
and Head Coach of both the men 's
and women 's swimming teams, has
high hopes for the Husky women in
the season to come.
"Wc have more good swimmers
that have come into the program this
year. This will enable us to be
better as a dual meet team and score
more points at the Conference
meet," Rider said.
"Also, the fact that we have many
more divers competing for spots
than ever before will make us a
tough team to beat this season ," he
added.
The addition of two new assistants to the coaching staff , is another
factor lending to the eminent
success of the team this year.

Denise Sedlacek, a graduate of the
University of Pittsburgh with a
degree in Health and Physical
Education , previously coached the
swimming team at Lakeworth High
School in Mission Bay, Florida.
She will be working mainly with the
sprinters.
Graduate Assistant Eric Slingcrland, who graduated from
Bloomsburg in 1980 with a degree
in
Accounting, is currently
working towards his M.B.A.. As an
undergraduate, Slingerland participated on the diving team for the
Huskies and is now back to assist
diving coach Larry Miller and
Rider.
"I'm very impressed with the
enthusiasm and knowledge that
these two possess," said Rider.
"They've already suggested
changes in the program which are
very good ideas and will be beneficial to the team," he added.
The women 's dual meet season
begins November 4th with a home
meet against University of Scranton
Other teams they will be competing
against are Division I Lasalle
College, Army and Navy, and
Division II powerhouse Clarion
University.

I'll agree that they do have a
tough schedule, not the most
difficult, but still hard just the
same.
And I'll also admit that I've
never been to Beaver Stadium ,
but most other big college
teams have the.same fan
reactions in their stadiums.

They are the Dallas Cowboys
of college football , the Boston
Celtics of college football , the
New York Mets of college
football. Millions love them ,
thousands hate them .

And because they win so
much , I love to see them lose.
I want to see Rutgers or
West Virginia trounce Penn
State.
I want to see Joe Paterno lose
so badly that he 's speechless
after the game.
But will it ever happen?
No, because the Nittany
Lions are just to damn good.

West Chester to test Huskies

Troy Hunsinger
Staff Writer
This coming Saturday afternoon
at Redman Stadium will be the .
battlefield as the Huskies face the
Pennsylvania Conference Eastern
Division champion West Chester
Rams.
The Rams arc ranked sixth
nationally in a Division II coaches'
poll.
This game will , more than likely,
be one of the toughest and most
important games of the season for
the Huskies. Bloomsburg may have
to face this test without star
running back Tom Martin.
Martin was injured in the second
quarter of the Lock Haven game

and did not play in the second half.
He has a slight shoulder separation
according to Adrian. Martin has not
suited up for practice but is feeling
better. When asked whether he would
play on Saturday , Adrian said that it
was questionable but probable.
On the other hand West Chester is
healthy and ready to go. The Rams
have 30 returning lettermen, including junior quarterback Al Niemela.
Last year Niemela threw 22 touchdown passes. This is impressive,
especially for a sophmore. He
already has a completion record of
close to 60 percent.
Another threat to the Huskies will
be the Rams tailback, Jason Sims.
Sims has an average of 163 yards per

game. This is definitely a player the
Huskies will have to watch out for.
The Rams had six players that
made it to the first team all-conference. Along with Niemela and Sims
there were two receivers and two
linemen that were voted to this
honor.
Coach Adrian is very optimistic
about his team. Adrian does not
intend to make any major changes
on defense but will give the Rams
many different looks. He also hopes
to control their passing game and to
put some points on the board.
Adrian feels the spectators could
play a major part in the game and
hopes "the student body gets out and
cheers the Huskies on."

The Bloomsburg University
Huskies Soccer team must be
kicking itself for not having a
better record at this time of the
season. Coming off an cmbarrising
loss to the Millersville on Saturday
the Huskies needed a confidence
boosting win to get themselves
back on track. Yesterday, they
hosted the University of Scranton
and despite another good performance, ended up on the losing end-02.
From the very first whistle
Bloomsburg took the game to
Scranton and had things very much

their own way for most of the first
half. They repeatedly beat the
opponents to the ball and were
unlucky not to have scored at least
once.
Dave Deck, Co-Captain of the
Huskies, had a well timed shot crash
into the cross-bar. Jerry Crick then
brough t the best out of goalkeeper
Jack Faber, as he headed the rebound
from Deck's shot towards goal but
was denied by a very good reflex
save.
Dave Tuscano also had a breakaway attempt, but again Faber was
there to foil the attempt.
The second half was very much the
same with the Huskies searching for

that elusive first goal. But the
Scranton defense, stretched and
beant repeatedly, but never broke
and did not concede a goal when
regulation time ran out.

Senior quarterback Jay DeDea
and junior free safety Derrick Hill
have been honored by the Pennsyl
vania Conference (PC) and the
Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), respectively, for
their performances in last
Saturday 's 25-6 victory at Lock
Haven.
DeDea was named the PC's
Eastern Division "Player of the

Week" as he completed 19 of 36
passes for 244 yards and two
touchdowns. He threw scoring passes
of 62 and nine yards to wide receiver
Curtis Still and runningback Tom
Martin. DeDea had connected on 46
of 86 passes this season for 543 yards
and three touchdowns.
Hill intercepted two Lock Haven
passes in addition to five tackles and
three pass breakups as the Huskies

held the Bald Eagles to only 29
yards rushing and picked off three
passes. The junior has been credited
with 15 tackles this season.

Chester football contest to be played
that afternoon at 1p.m. in Robert B.

Soccer team loses 2-0 in O.T,

In the first overtime period
Scranton scored through Mike Kane
at the 6.36 minute mark. Try as the
Huskies did the equalizer was not
forthcoming on this day. Scranton
scored a second goal as time expired
in the second period of overtime.
This loss has set the Huskies back
a bit, but it could very well serve to
inspire more determined play in the
entire team.

Dedea, Hill players of the week

So why am I one of the select
few on this campus (in this
world) who hates Penn State?

It doesn't matter if they 're the
underdog or the favorite,
because they'll still end up
winning in the hearts of their
fans.
