CGA senators
begin the year

by Susan Sheridan
Staff Writer
The newly elected CGA senators
attended an orientation dinner Monday night, allowing them to get aquainted with each other and the administrators they will be working with
throughout the year .
The dinner, which is held every
year, followed a brief meeting in the
Coffeehouse. At the meeting, the
executive board , senators and administrators introduced themselves and
stated the positions they hold in the
senate.
Elections for the senate positions
took place last Thursday. According
to CGA Vice President Jim Fritchman
only 10 percent of the student body
turned out to vote.
"The number of off-campus students running for the senate was the
most we've had in years," Fritchman
said. "Thirty candidates petitioned for
the 18 available seats."
A total of 36 senators were elected
to the senate. Also, various organizations on campus appoint members to
represent them on senate.
The CGA Executive Council for
1987-88 consists of Ed Gobora, president; Jim Fritchman, vice president;
Mark Beaudoin , treasurer; James
Rohrbach, recording secretary; David
Gerlach, executive assistant; Marie
Graziano , project coordinator;
Kristine Rowe,parlimentarian; James
Sopko, historian; Karen Cameron,
student trustee; and Maria Mazzenga,
corresponding secretary.
Representing Elwell Hall on senate
are Donna Adgie, Lisa Markel,
Sharon Siegrist, Jennifer Tober, and
Jennifer Guthier.
Columbia Hall representatives are
Kelly Burkholder and Darlene
Johnson.
Daniel Dimm and Mike Bailor are
the senators from Schuylkill Hall.
Representing Luzerne and Montour Halls are Jeff Kearns, Bruce
Shriner, Charles Walker, and Michael
Mihoban respectively.

North Hall representatives are Tom
Kuntzleman and Howard Liberman.
Senators representing off-campus
students are Stephen King, David
Siegfried , Chad Stevens, Beth Powers, Darrin Love, David Ward , Mary
Dougherty, Robert Frankel, Donna
Criqui , Taras Somak , Kathleen
Petrucelli, Kevin Bennett, Jeff Rciterman, Michael Spano, Matthew Maturani , Greg Pugusi, Joh n Nestro, and
Timothy Kurtz.

Maria Makowski and Lisa
McDonald are representing commuters.
Freshman class officer elections
were also held last week. Kris
Dautsch was elected freshman class

respectively. The vice president position was not filled.

Soviets luring Iran in
by Paul Mellon
Staff Columnist
Finally. After yearsof bitter frustration we finally stuck it to the Ayatollah. Caught red-handed laying mines
in the Persian Gulf, Iran was given a
little demonstration of the enormous
power the U.S. military wields when
it sees fit.
Granted, the crushing of a small
Iranian mine ship by two of the
Army 's most sophisticated helicopters is not in and of itself a major
military blow to Iran. But it is crucial
in that Iran knows this country is fully
prepared to thwart terrorism by military might.
Naturally, Khomeini and his loonies have vowed revenge against the
"arch-Satan." In light of the fate that
befell Colonel Khadafy in Libya after
his little bombing in West Berlin ,
however, it should become readily
apparent to Iran that the "arch-Satan"
is full y capable of turning their country into the biggest parking lot in the

ramifications of our actions. Iran must
be made to understand that although
we will not tolerate any terroristic
attacks against"U.S. citizens, we are
not trying to lure Iran into a showdown. Our goal in the Gulf is to ensure
the free flow of commercial shipping
as well as the end of the Iran-Iraq war.
To further isolate Iran from the
world community would be a grave
mistake on our part because of the
strategic importance of Iran in the
Gulf. At present it seems that as Iran
goes farther from the world it draws
closer to the Soviet Union.
In the last few weeks the Soviets
have been bending over backwards to
accomodate Iran. Only last month the
two countries signed trade agreements which increase the amount of
oil Iran exports to the U.S.S.R.
Last week, Soviet Foreign Minister
Shevardnadze delayed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an
arms embargo against Iran. Then the
Soviets backed a major demand of

Iran by calling for a committee to be
Even though the Iranian incident is created to find out who is to blame for

The Soviets have more than a casit is vital that we understand the full

ual interest in Iran. Back in the 1950' s,
President Truman was confronted
with the fact that the Red Army had
practically occupied Tehran and refused to leave, having been there since
the end of WWII. Only after Truman
let the Soviets know that the U.S.
military would move into Iran did the
communists depart, thus depriving
diem of their coveted "warm water
port."
Presendy, the Soviets share a border with Iran that is patrolled by over
300,000 troops and, of course, there
are the 100,000 Soviet troops in Afghanistan, who are still busy slaughtering what is left of the Afghan
people.
In lieu of this situation the U.S.
must walk a thin line. On one side we
cannot let Iran run amok in the Gulf by
escalating the war with Iraq through
terrorism on innocent shipping.
The other side shows that we must
be careful not to push Iran unnecessarily into the waiting paws of the Russian Bear. How the Reagan administration walks this line depends
largely on the actions of Iran in the
coming weeks.

President Reagan argues that the
Central American peace plan is "fat
ally flawed," and that the response of
the Sandinista government of Nicaragua is "only show."
We think that he is wrong. We are
encouraged in our view by his failure
to provide substance to support his
contention. Indeed, he seems to be
interested primarily in wrecking the
plan before it can have a fair test.
His eagerness to find fault and the
relish with which he anticipates failure have raised doubts throughout the
hemisphere as to his commitment to
peace.
The president launched his latest
attack on the peace plan of the five
nations of Central America just three
days after President Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica had, in a personal
visit to the White House and in an
eloquent appeal to a joint session of
Congress, asked for time to test the
initiative. He was its principal architect. He leads the oldest of the Latin
democracies.
"It is time to focus on the positive,"
Arias told Congress. "War signifies
the failure of politics. Let us restore
faith in dialogue and give peace a
chance."
If Arias' counsel was not heeded in
the White House, it was heard and

understood in Managua, where the
Sandinistas accelerated in succeeding
days the implementation of the reforms that are required by the Aug. 7
peace plan. And it was heard in San
Salvador, where a new dialogue to
end the civil war in El Salvador will
commence next weekend.
The events of the weekend were
instructive. Nicaragua opened its
border with Honduras to permit exiles
to accept the amnesty now offered
them . Few came, but some came.
Through the streets of Managua itself ,
3,000 opponents of the Sandinistas
marched in a peaceful demonstration
authorized by the government.
Final preparations were made for
La Prensa to resume publication without censorship, and for Radio Catolica to return to the air.
All that, of course, falls short of the
American-sty le democracy that
White House staff members say is
now what Reagan wants for Nicaragua. This is a test that, of all Central
American nations, only Costa Rica
could pass. But it also appears to be a
convenient device for Reagan to use
in trying to eliminate the Sandinistas,
whom he sees solely as Marxist allies
of Havana and Moscow.
In his determination to do that,
Reagan appears troubled by the peace

proposals while remaining curiously
confiden t that the kind of Nicaragua
that he wants can be achieved only
with Contra bullets and continuation
of a war that has already taken 30,000
lives.
His visible distrust of what the
Central Americans themselves are
trying to do makes it all the more
difficult for them - leaders like Arias to tame the extremism of the Sandinistas.
The tentative, timid steps being
taken along the path to peace in Nicaragua will be paralleled in El Salvador
during the weekend with another
meeting between President Jose Napoleon Duarte and the rebels. This
confrontation also will test the potential of the peace plan to replace warfare with negotiations. The agenda,
according to an official of the Roman
Catholic Church , "will be everything
that has to be done to arrive at an end
to hostilities."
Six weeks remain before the first
important deadline in the peace process. Those leading the way, like
lonely soldiers making their way
through a minefield , need encouragement, not disparaging cynicism. That
is why those genuinely concerned
about peace are on their side. - The

tempts to implement his statutory
mandate.
From the start , the deputy
secretary's staff continually rewrote
Godwin's proposed internal regulations to undercut his authority. Where
the statute clearly states that the
undersecretary shall have authority to
"establish" acquisition policies for
the department, the deputy secretary's
staff changed the word to "develop."
Though the statute says that the undersecretary shall have the power to
"direct" the service secretaries and
shall "have precedenceover" all service secretaries on acquisition matters,
early regulations (since rescinded
because of congressional objections)
suggested that the undersecretary had
to secure the prior agreement of the
service secretaries for his directives.
The deputy secretary also ordered the
deletion, without proposing substitute
language, of a provision outlining the
extent of the undersecretary's participation in the department's budget
deliberations.

Diagnosing the desk clutterer

by George Will
Editorial Columnist
The Divinity (a.k.a. Victoria Will)
will soon be seven, which philosophers call the age of wisdom. Fat lot
philosophers know about young girls.
I have shared a small desk with one for
several years and now am sharing a
huge desk, and she and I are wrestling
with the intellectual problem of desktop tidiness.
For the Prodigy (a.k.a. the Divinity)
and me this is a problem, because
some afternoons after school we now
sit across from each other at an old
(new to me) "partners desk," one of
those enormous constructions with
drawers on each side. The top, on
which an F-15 could land, can hold a
lot of clutter.
Father favors tidiness. Daughter
finds clutter congenial. And it turns
out she is correct: Science proves that
it is rational to have a messy desk.
In Discover magazine Hugh Kenner, professor of English at Johns
Hopkins and a confirmed advocate of
chaos, last year wrote a spirited defense of the messy desk. Kenner considers tidiness not only evidence of an
unattractive character ("clean-deskers measure their vermouth with an
eyedropper, walk their dogs by the
clock, succor their spouses by the
calender"), but also a practice invalidated by the 80-20 rule, a.k.a. Zipf's
Law.
Kenner says: Consider my desk. I
take a reference book from a shelf and,
knowing I will refer to it again soon, I
leave it on my desk for now. And this
letter inviting me to a conference. I'll
leave it next to the book for now

Deputy Secretary Taft testified at
our hearing that the Department of
Defense had faithfully implemented
all the recommendations of the Packard Commission that were not inconsistent with the law. It was this alleged
commitment that Godwin perhaps
naively relied upon when he took the
job. But when each service secretary
was instructed to appoint a full-time
acquisition executive in accordance
with the Packard Commission recommendations, the response was hardly
encouraging. For example, then-secretary of the Navy John Lehman made

a mockery of the process when he
prompdy appointed himself to the
"full-time" acquisition executive
position for the Navy.
All of us involved in the statutory
changes expected such resistance .
Change is threatening to any organization, and the changes proposed by
the Packard Commission are especially threatening to those who stand
to lose power over the acquisition
process.
But that is no excuse. The secretary
and deputy secretary should have
done what Godwin testified they
never did. They should have called in
the service secretaries and their own
staff and told them that resistance to
the directives of the undersecretary
for acquisition would not be tolerated.
If they had just been committed to the
Packard Commission changes, they
would have spent sufficient time,
energy and political capital to insist
that the service secretaries and their
own staff work to implement those
changes. They have not done that.
Until we get a new secretary and
deputy secretary who will do those
things, Congress will be forced to act
on the margin. We will review Defense Department regulations to determine whether they comply with the
clear letter and intent of the statute.
We will question department representatives for any signs of progress.
We will carefully review the qualifications and experience of the person
nominated to succeed Godwin. (Sen.

to them frequently so I'll leave them
here for now. The "for nows" accumulate and so does the stuff.
For Kenner, a messy desk is a matter of principle, not sloth. The principle is: What you need now you're
apt to need again, and again. That is
why the paring knife is left on the
kitchen counter, and the nutmeg
grater is not.
The principle pops up all over the
place, as in our use of words. Kenner
says we make more than 50 percent of
our normal talk by recycling about
100 words. Feel inarticulate? Cheer
up.
Shakespeare 's works contain
29,066 different words, but 40 words
make up 40 percent of the texts of his
plays. James Joyce's "Ulysses" contains almost the same number of different words - 29,899 - but just 135
words ("the," "of," "and," "to," etc.)
make up half the text Such words are
the utility infielders of discourse. We
keep them handy on our desktops, so
to speak. They illustrate this principle: Most of every activity usesonly
a small fraction of available resources.
The common words are like paring
knives: They perform many functions. The rarely used words
(Kenner's example: "colubriform,"
meaning snake-shaped) can be defined in a few lines. But in the large
Oxford English Dictionary, an alipurpose word like "set" (get set to set
the table with the dining set, then set
the alarm so we can set out...etc.)

requires an OED entry two-thirds the
length of Paradise Lost.
Like die clutter on a cluttered desk,
such words are the ones we reach for
frequently.The clutter on our desks is
the stuff we strew there in accordance
with (whether we know it or not) "the
principle of least effort."
That was expounded in 1950 by
George Zipf, a Harvard philologist
who became the ideologist of clutter.
He established the rationality of the
messy desk with this law: Frequency
of use draws near to us the things that
are frequently used, so some messes
accumulate for good reasons.
Kenner says that intelligent secretaries have long known that files in
heavy use should not be re-filed - that
80 percent of the action involves 20
percent of the files. But the 80-20 rule
actually inconveniences clutterologists such as Kenner because, as noted
in the 1963 IBM Systems Journal, the
80-20 rule applies, in turn , to the active 20 percent.
That is, if you keep 1,000 files , of
which 200 bear the most duty, then 20
percent of the 200 - just 40 files - get
mostoftheuse,as do eightof those40,
and two of those eight Two filesmake
for a tidy desk.
Victoria gets her way because her
father thinks she is perfect in every
way and is becoming more so day by
day. Unfortunately, Victoria consents
only to one application of the 80-20
rule to her 175,000 Crayolas, stencils
and other instruments of the serious

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Secretary of State George P. Shultz,
arguing that South Africa's racial
problems cannot be changed by outside pressures, Tuesday night challenged all "South Africans to rise to
the test of building a future" based on
democracy and an end to apartheid.
In a speech here, Shultz gave what
amounted to a lengthy restatement of
the Reagan administration 's 6-year
policy of pursuing change in South
Africa through persuasion rather than
confrontation with Pretoria 's whiteminority government.
"A long-entrenched system of racial oppression must and will be repl
ac "This can be done without, in the
process, destroying a society and
economy that can offer better lives for
all South Africans."
'The hard work is up to the South
African people themselves," he ad
ded. "The time has come for South
Africans to act on their hopes, not their
fears. They will find a friend in the
United States when they do so, a
friend that is realistic in its understanding, hopeful in its expectations
and optimistic in its vision of what
they can achieve."
A senior State Department official
closely involved with African policymaking called the speech "an important statement of policy that will send'
a strong signal to South Africans
about what the United States is for."
The official, who asked not to be
identified, said the speech sought "to
avoid revisiting old batties." He was
referring to past controversies that
have caused the administration to be
criticized severely by black Africans
and that last year prompted Congress
to override President Reagan's objec-

tions and impose economic sanctions
against South Africa.
The 22-page text of Shultz 's speech
did not mention the word "sancti ons."
The official said a report on the first
yearof sanctions, which restrict South
African exports to this country and
ban new U.S. investment there, will be
sent to Congress on Friday. The official would not discuss details of the report. But he said it would underscore
the fact that no progress has been
made toward ending racial oppression
since the sanctions were imposed. He
also said the report would buttress the
administration 's con tention that pressure is the wrong way to deal with the
problem.
On another point of administration
policy that has been harshly criti cized
by American civil-rights activistsinvestment by U.S. businesses in
South Africa- Shultz 's speech
spurned the growing calls for disinvestment mat have caused growing
numbers of U.S. firms to end their activities there.
"American corporations , often
maligned for even being in South
Africa , can be proud of being in the
forefront of the forces for change ," he
said.
He did not mention that the Rev.
Leon Sullivan , a Philadelp hia clergy
man whose "Sullivan princi ples"
were the widely accepted guidelines
under which most American firms
operated , recently recanted his view
that U.S. investment can help effect
change in South Africa.
Shultz, citing a tendency toward "a
debilitating pessimism" about South
Africa's future , emphasized factors in
the South African situation that he
said give xause for optimism about
"our vision of the future. "

Visit to Poland

Bosh boosts presidential campaign

by David Hoffman/Jackson Diehl

LA.Times- Washington Post Service

Vice Presiden t George Bush examined evidence of the horrors of the
Nazi Holocaust Tuesday in a solemn
visit to the death camps at Auschwitz
and Birkenau , paying tribute to the 6
million Jews who died here and at
other Nazi extermination camps.

"The brutal and tragic horrors of
Auschwitz serve as grim reminders of
man 's capacity for evil ," Bush said
later. "The denial of human rights- the
denial of human dignity- leads ultimatel y to this , the attempted
extermination of an entire people."
The vice president 's walking tour of
the Nazi camps was the hi ghlight of

his final day in Poland on a visit designed to improve U.S.-Polish relations and boost his presidential campaign. Before leaving Warsaw this
morning, Bush acknowledged the
political goal of his tour. Asked about
the impact at home of his dramatic
appearance with Solidarity leader
Lech Walesa on a church balcony,
Bush said , "I suppose the next question is how many relatives does he
have in Iowa?"

timeand things are moving forward. "
He said "time will tell" whether the
communist government of Gen.
Wojciech Jaruzelski moves to adopt
further political and economic reforms which the vice presiden t urged
it to take if Poland is to get additional
international economic aid.
As Bush left Warsaw, Polish governmen t spokesman Jerzy Urban
gently chided the vice president in
remarks to reporters. "The Western
press, especially the American press,
said that Bush opened his presidential campaign in Poland," he said. "I
am having trouble distinguishing
which par t of the visit was international politics by an American statesman and which part was internal
American politicking in the context
of the American election."
"However," he added , "I can say we
share the aims expressed by the vice
presiden t for improved relations."

Bush said he h ired a campaign
camera crew "to lake good pictures of
me in Poland" and said he did not
know how it would play in the campaign but "I hope it helps me with everybody."
Bush defended his talks with government , church and opposition
leader s, saying they had left him with
the "very distinct feeling" that "Poland has come out of a very difficult

Andruss Library is considered inadequate for Bloomsburg University 's needs. Funds are being sought for the construction of a
Voice He photo
new library.

New library hinges on funds

from Press-Enterprise
Bloomsburg University's hopes for
a new library hinge on a financing
plan that envisions up to a third of the
money being raised from private
sources here and two-thirds from state
sources in Harrisburg, BU officials
say.
A new library, which the university
says it badly needs, would cost an
estimated $11 million.
"Our hope is to create a partnership
between the Commonwealth and private resources," explained Anthony
Ianiero, BU director of development.
"The state would build the structure,
while private support would be directed towards needs that would provide the margin of excellence, for
instance, technological equipment."
BU's preliminary estimate of how
much it must raise locall y is $3 million over five years, Ianiero said.
University officials hope to know
more about the prospects for a library
fund-raising campaign next month,
after a consultant who has been hired
to analyze the project completes his
report.
Gordon Hermanson, former president of Davis Elkins College in West
Virginia, is discussing the need for a
new library with BU officials , professors and students, as well as with
business leaders and alumni.
Hermanson, who works for a New
Jersey-based consulting firm called
Marts and Lundy, will then meet with
BU President Harry Ausprich to
"determine what,if any, money can be

raised, and what the potenual is, '
Ianiero said.
"Bloomsburg University 's objective is to build an outstanding resource
facility for the region ," Ianiero said.
"The library will also be used for
individual study by non-students and
will serve as a repository of materials
of historic importance to the state and
community.
BU officials say the school outgrew
the Andruss Library, which opened in

1966 when student enrollment was
only about half of what itis today. BU
ranks below almost every other stateowned university when library space
and seating are compared to enrollment , BU officials say.
James McCormick, former BU
president and now chancellor of the
State System of Higher Education,
agreed during a visit here earlier this
month that a new library is the
university 's most pressing need.

The shocking truth about date rap e

by Lisa Cellini
Features Editor
Editor's Note: This is the first of a
two-part scries concerning the issue
of date rape. It is important to note
that the following story is true. »•
Names have been changed to protect
diosc involved.
Melanie was exhilarated by the
cool sea breeze that blew off the
Wildwood beach that summer night.
Surrounded by fr iends and a comfortable atmosphere , she had every reason to believe, that this two-week trip
would be the peak of her last high
school summer.
While she and her friends were
walking on the boardwalk in aflood of
carnival lig hts , they met a group of
guys who invi ted them to a party. A
little wary, but more excited , the girls
agreed to go.
That ' s where Me lanie met Larry.
Charming, witty, and overwhelming ly handsome , Larry was different
from anyone Melanie had ever met.
When he asked her if she would take a
walk on the beach with him, she was
thrilled. Romance at the beach; what
better way to enjoy her vacation?
Twenty minutes in the cool nig ht air
prompted Larry to go to his room to
gel a jacket. Melanie forsa w no danger , and agreed to accompany him to
his hotel room for a coup le of minutes.
When they arrived , he took his time
getting his jacket , and asked her to sit
down for a while . She fell uncomfortable and self-conscious , but did so.
After watching a f e w television
shows , he started to kiss her lig htly
along the neck. As his persistence

continue to build , Melanie timidly
asked him to stop, but her pleafell on
deaf ears. He seemed to become more
excited each lime she resisted.
Unable to stop his advances physically or verbahy, Melanie was brutally raped - not by a dark stranger
who grabbed her in a dark alley, but
by someone she never expected to
fear. The trauma she experienced left
her with feelings of rage , fear and
confusion. Blaming herself for much
of what happened , Melanie found it
hard to trust even the people she loved
most. She literally felt eslrangedfrom
society.
This scenario isn 't as uncommon as
many people would like to believe.
According to several studies, date
rape is one of die most prevalent
crimes in the United Suites today, and
yet it is the least reported. In 1985,
87,340 forcible rapes were reported to
United Suites authorities , and experts
believe this number to be less than one
half of die true number .
Dale rape is most likely to occur to
women in an unfamiliar environment
who are between the ages of 15 and
24, making it a crime most likely to
happen on college campuses. Although many universities arc reluctant to admit the prevalence of acquaintance rape, some colleges have
recognized the need for rape crisis and
counseling centers affiliated with the
campus, administration and students.
Mary Koss, a psychologist at Kent
Sui te University, Ohio, studied the
frequency of dale rape in a three year
research project involving 6,200
male and female students in 32 differ-

ent universities across the nation.
According to her investigations , 15
percent of the women interviewed
recounted experiences that could be
defined as rape, and more than half of
these were considered date rape.
More often than not, these women did
not realize they had been raped.
Her research disclosed some startling facts about male perceptions of
date rape. When interviewed, one
male io 13 admitted attempting or
committing at least one rape. In 1980,
a similar report at UCLA revealed that
half of the male students on campus
would rape a woman under certain
circumstances if they would not be
held responsible for their actions.
In a study pertaining to this, a team
of Texan psychologists interviewed
268 college men approximately 19
years of age. Essentially, they discovered that young men belong to one of
two groups: traditionalists and egalitarians. Traditionalists believe ihnt
men should be aggressive in society,
whereas woman should be passive.
They also believe that women have
been trained to submit to the wishes of
the men. Conversely, egalitarians
believe that women and men should
respect each other, and that one sex
should not dominate over the other.
Date rapists often fal l in the traditionalist category. They tend to be more
sexually active, domineering, and
have a history of antisocial behavior.
In the next issue, we will explore the
myths associated with sex and rape ,
communication problems between
the sexes, and ways to prevent date
rape.

II was ten minutes after eleven on a
Monday ni ght. As was the usual ritual , my roommate and I were engaged
in a conversation of weighty proportions.
There was a real tone of reminiscence in my roommate 's voice when
he asked me , "I Icy, Doug, remember
Schoolhouse Rock?"
How could 1 possibl y forget the
classic scries that used to be an American standard? How could I forget
gelling up at the crack of dawn on
Saturday mornings to watch Scooby
Doo, The Pink PanUicr , and others?
I low many of us were spouting off
our times tables long before we even
heard about them in school , thanks to

'Little Ten Toes'?
I will never forget that "a noun is a
person , place or thing " thanks to the
folks at Schoolhousc Rock.
We all learned how to use conjunctions properly from our buddies down
at 'Conjunction Junction ', as they told
us we "could go up to the mountain or
down to the sea."
Everyone has got to remember
'Verb : That 's What 's Happenin '!
English was not the only wisdom
that the folks at ABC endowed us
with. The Schoolhouse Rockers also
told us about our grand history.
"Well , the shot heard 'round the
world was the start of the revolution.
The British were already on the
move."
Can anyone say that they learned

the preamble to the Constitution by
any other means than Schoolhouse
Rock?
The Rockers were even into science. They told about the solar system
and the planets with the talc of 'Interplanet Janet'.
How many of our nursing majors
might have originally been inspired
by the word s, "Oh, there's a telegraph
line; you 've got yours and I've got
mine. It's called the nervous system."?
So remember, gang, "Next time you
go on a trip, remember this little tip.
The minute you get back , they 'll ask
you this and that. You can describe
people, places and things. Simply
unpack your adjectives. " Then thank
the folks down at Schoolhouse Rock .

Marlon faked mental disturbance and
fooled the military psychiatrist.
Studying drama under Stella Adlcr
at the New School , he shared an
apartment with his old Omaha classmate Wall y Cox , the quintessential
wimp who became TV' s beloved
"Mr. Peepers." Later on, when both
were big stars, a doctored picture
showing them in a homosexual act
made the rounds of Hollywood , but
Higham claims diere was nothing
between them except the odd protective love of a bully for a 90-pound
weakling. Throug hout their early
New York days, "Wally Cox continued to occupy center slage in
Marlon 's life - he was more important to Marlon than any of his
women, and Cox returned the favor
by imitating Brando , even to the
extent of buying a black leather
jacket and a motorcycle.
John Garfield was everyone's first
choice to play Stanley Kowalski in
"Streetcar," but his contractual demands were impossible and so were
Burt Lancaster's, so Brando got it. It
did not hurt his cause that he also
fixed Tennessee Williams' overflowing toilet when he went out to the
playwright's Long Island cottage for
a reading. Higham describes this
symbolic scene - Brando's brawny
arm plunging into the effluvia as an
ecstatic Williams watched. But his
descriptions of Brando in die play
descend into gush: "...he was at his
most authoritative and powerful that

night. He was male sex personified,"
and on and on.
The author lays on the noble savage theme with such a tireless trowel
that he makes a heroine of Louella
Parsons, who said of the hunk: "As
far as I'm concerned he can drop
dead. He has the manners of a chimpanzee, the gall of a Kinsey researcher, and a swelled head the size
of a Navy blimp, and just as pointed."
Brando 's highly touted love for
dark-skinned , persecuted minorities
becomes suspect when viewed
against his behavior around a certain
female type. Ladies terrified him. He
went out of his way to insult Merle
Oberon and Jean Simmons on the set
of "Desiree" in which he played
Napoleon , and took umbrage at
Vivien Leigh's good manners, bristling when she said "please" and
"thank you."
Tallulah Bankhead , who was an
American Brahmin despite her foul
mouth , triggered his sadistic disdain
and , like the proper Englishwomen,
left him sexually cold. His preferred
bed partners were pliant native girls
like the ones he met in Polynesia
while filming "Mutiny on the
Bounty ."
"Tarita," Higham writes, "fulfilled
Marlon 's fantasies and became the
embodiment of some South Seas
goddess." This sort of thing, plus a
howler of a mistake in a Shakespearean quotation , make "Brando" the
embodiment of a bad book.

The first 30 minutes of the movie
are light-hearted attempts at comedy;
however the rest of the movie is too
heavy-handed. If writer/director
James Toback would have made either a straight-forward comedy or a
straight-forward drama it would have
worked. However, the comedy was
loo light and the drama too heavy. The
two unsatisfied halves never combine
to make a satisfied whole.

The Nu Omicron chapter of Phi
Beta Lambda has three advisors: Dr.
Peter Bohling, professor of economics; Janice C. Keil , professor of business education , who was named Past
Stale Alumni Lias ion and First State
Alumni President; and Dr. Emory W.
Rari g, Jr., professor of management,
who was designated as "Advisor of
the Year" by the State Executive
Council of Pennsylvania.

Higham 's "Brando " considered a bad book

L.A. Times- Washington Post Service

Once upon a time, back in the good
old days before everybody got sensitive to the needs of others, elementary-school teachers used to break
children of certain habits by marking
them down in a wonderfully subjective category known as "citizenship. " Thanks to legions of determined Miss Doves, nose-picking,
belching, flatulence , scratching,
slouching and mumbling had been
brought pretty much under control by
Dec. 3, 1947, when suddenly they all
made a comeback.
That was the night Marlon Brando
threw a bloody package of raw meat
at Kim Hunter in the New York opening of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
The Age of the Intense Troglodyte
had dawned.
Hollywood biographer Charles
Higham , author of books on Davis,
Flynn and both Hepburns, has now
turned his sights on Old Jock Itch.
They are necessarily unauthorized
because Brando has not been seen or
heard from since 1980.Weighing 350
pounds, he has turned into a hermit in
his Los Angeles home where he studies philosophy and serves as his own
guru.
After being expelled from the military school that was supposed to
straighten him out, 19-year-old Marlon headed for New York in 1943.
The secret behind his 4-F draft status
is locked up in the army 's World War
II records, but the legend lingers that

Pros and cons ofmotor,turbo
power
but more lrequently.

by Ted Kistler
Staff Writer
Unbeknownst to many, an
automobile's turbocharger refers to
the device which charges each cylinder of the motor with air, packed
underpressure , by means of a turbine.
Here's how it works in a nutshell.
Your motor works much like an air
pump. The exhaust fumes leave the
motor under pressure and at high
speed. When the pressure becomes
great enough, it forces open a little
door in the exhaust manifolds (the
things the exhaust pipes are connected
to on the motor). This open door allows accelerated gas to pass over a
turbine which spins.
If you were sitting in a car right
now, you would have seen the boost
gauge go up as the pressure increased.
As the turbo began spinning, power
from the motor would have gone up
considerably.
The power increase is due to a second turbine , connected to the first ,
which pumps air to your motor under
pressure. Simple, right?
So, what we have here is an air
pump, feeding the motor fresh air,
driven by exhaust fumes. The important thing is to understand the principle.
Now, let's get to why the turbo has
become so popular. Image is part of it.
There seems to be a mystique surrounding those badges on the fender.
Even more important is that the
turbo is an effective means of producing power while still making the
motor more efficient. It does this by
using otherwise-wasted energy (the
exhaust fumes). It also burns the fuel
more completely, due to the presence
of more oxygen, so a turbo motor
produces less pollution.
It almost sounds like the perfect
option , right? Wrong.
Although the turbo has some very
important benefits, it also has its
drawbacks, the greatest of which is
service life.
A turbo is a hand-full to own. The
turbine spins quickly, meaning that
friction is built up. Friction requires
lubrication . Few people know that
turbos need oil changes, as does the

Professor and
wife to hold
recital
William and Mary Decker will

present a recital of great German
chamber music in Carver Auditorium, Sunday, October 4 at 2:30 p.m.
Prelude and Fugue in C# major
(WTC II), and three songs from the
Anna Magdalena Notebook by Bach;
Mozart's Sonata in B Flat for Four
Hands; Schubert 's "Shepherd oa the
Rock" for clarinet, voice and piano,
four part songs by Schubert , operetta
selections, and "Frauen Liebe Und
Leben," the famous song cycle by
Robert Schumann are the evening's
selections.
Guest performers will include John
Couch, piano; Mark Jelinek, cello;
Terry Oxley, clarinet; Lucille Rosholt, piano; and Mary Jean Casale and
Phil Heizer as singers.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this event and there will be no
admission charge.

If maintenance is performed dutifull y, you should expect 40-60,000
trouble-free miles. After that , though,
the turbo will probably need to be
replaced.
I can hear it already. Someone is out
there saying, "My Dad has a riceburner with 400 million , billion miles
and everything works, even the cigarette lighter." Maybe. Your dad has
probably won the lottery six times,
too.
A second drawback to the turbo is in
the way the motor produces its power.
Firstly, a turbo works in an off-on-offon manner. This means high power,
low power surges. Secondly, it takes a
while to accelerate the car. S ince most
motors are small-displacement fourcylinders, you won't have a hot rod
until somebody in a V-6 has already
passed you.
The turbo, though , is still a great
idea when you consider these aspects:
reduction in pollution , the perform ance boost it gives dull motors, and
fuel efficiency.

Singers to appear
in Kehr Union

by Mara Uummoe
Staff Writer
Kim and Reggie Harris, a duo from
Philadelphia , perform traditional
songs, spirituals, and pop rock originals. They will be appearing on BU's
Soundstage in Kehr Union, Sunday,
October 4, at 8 p.m.
Their combination of acoustic guitars and subtle vocal arrangements
with light percussion add versatility to
their performance.
In 1981, the release of their first
single "Stranger in the Shadows" was
followed by their first album "Music
and the Underground Railroad", both
on the Ascension Records label. The
album is a scripted concert of songs,
stories and narratives associated with
the fact and legend of the Underground Railroad.
Entertaining at colleges, clubs, and
in various concert and festival settings, their warm positive image is
sure to be a hit at BU again this year.

hording. "One of My Turns" opens
with a groupie entering Floyd's dressing room, astounded. "This place is
bigger than my whole apartment. Ya
wanna take a bath?" she coos.
"/ need you babe I to put through
the shredder infront of myfriends...to
beat to a pulp on a Saturday night. "
Side two ends with Floyd's complete loss of sanity, as he contemplates suicide on "Goodbye Cruel
World."
Sides three and four break into the
consequences of Floyd 's disease;
even the song lyrics are printed out of
order. Personal misconceptions of his
disease on "Hey You" are temporarily
soothed on "Comfortably Numb," a
painfull y realistic account of the addict and his habit. He reflects on
married life in "Vera Lynn," recalling
for a moment the brief happiness he
felt when he was in love.
By side four, the Wall i.« complete
sjnd Floyd has cut himself off from all
reality. He is "waiting for the worms"
behind his Wall. The album ends with
"The Trial" and "Outside the Wall."
Floyd is tried before his peers in condemnation of the way he has lived his
life. His old schoolmaster, ex-wife,
and mother testify before him , damning him for his maltreatment of those
who loved him throughout his life.
In the end he is sentenced to life in
reality and must tear down the Wall he
has built for himself. We wonder then ,
after all is said and done, is it harder to
live behind the Wall, or to be the
loving outsider trying vainly to break

Floyd. The new Momentary Lapse of
Reason tour is a spectacular light
show trying to gloss over the fact that
the original band is no longer compatible, and hence can 't tour together.
The real Pink Floyd is on classics
'70's vinyl, on Dark Side of the Moon ,
Animals, Works , and Wish You Were
Here, among others. What once
worked as a perfect unit is now fragmented into solo acts which , though
creditable efforts in and of themselves, will most likely never be able
to reach the pinnacle of the original
Pink Floyd.
"The band is fust fantastic , that is
really what I think/ Oh, by the way,
which one ' s 'Pink?'"

by Ken Kirsh
Staff Writer
"So ya, thought ya, might like to , go
»
to the show..."
Well, then, welcome to the show.
Rock music's most scathing account of the causes and consequences
of schizophrenia and paranoia is,
from start to finish , a masterpiece
unrivaled. The story of The Wall ,
based on the life of Pink Floyd songwriter Roger Waters, is of a fictitious
character appropriately named Pink
Floyd, a strung-out rock star at the end
of his rope. This autobiographical
angle allows Waters the chance to
climb inside of Floyd and present the
movie and album from Floyd's point
of view.
Floyd is basically a man ahead of
his time, but he lacks the mental stability to realize and act on it. As a child
he loses his father to war and is left to
be raised by an obsessed and overprotective mother.
"Mama's gonna check out all your
girlfriends for you I Mama won ' t let
anyone dirty get through."
Floyd is torn by the vague images of
war he had witnessed as a infant , and
the scars they left on him. He is asocial
as a child. His school years fleet by
like a nightmare. He is an outcast
among victims; subject to the cruel
whims of a vindictive school system
headed by sadistic schoolmasters
(pointer sticks and hammerheads).
As a young man , his only love relationship a wreck, Floyd the rock star
turns to sexual obsession and groupie

Staff Writer
Do athletes really experience a
"physical high" after working out?
Have you ever gone for a long run
or bike ride and after you have finished feel 10 times better then when
you started out?
How about when you've watched
the Boston Marathon or the Ironman
Triathalons on television, ' did you
ever notice that many of those athletes
look as if they have just taken some
kind of drug that makes them look
like they are "high"?
For many athletes, who are involved in intense training programs,
this state of "euphoria " is not all that
uncommon.
These feelings of well being that are
experienced by these athletes are due
to a bodily response to pain.
In order to combat this pain , the
body secretes a hormone called an
endorphin , which moves in and
blocks the pain signal that is being
transmitted.

blood and the central nervous system.
Much like morp hine , these
hormones are the body 's natural
means for the blocking of pain.
Studies have shown that there are
sufficiently increased levels of endorphins in the block immediately after
exercise as when compared to the
onset of exercise.
It is because to these increased levels that many athletes experience
mood changes, feelings of well being
and/or the feeling as if they are in a
state of euphoria.
Aside frorri the athletes responses,
scien tists have found when endorphin
levels are increased in non-athletic
people, they tend to help in pain relief,
appetite control , reproduction (primarily fertility and impotence) and
heat regulation .
It is because of these endorphins
that some women do not feel any pain
during the childbirthing process.
In more recent studies, it has been
hypothesized that endorphins can be
increased through accupuncture ,
placebos, transcutaneous electrical
Endorphins are found primarily in nerve stimulation and mental imthe pituitary gland, adrenal gland , agery.

If this is the case, many scientists
who are studying depression feel that
if the endorphin levels are increased in
these depressed people, maybe this
depression can be relieved.
This stems from the findings of
lower endorphin levels in people suffering from depression.
Though there are many positive
attributes to endorphins, the most
prominant negative feature comes
about when athletes become addicted
to exercise.
Many of these athletes exercisejust
to achieve these feelings of well
being.
Unfortunately, when they are
forced to stop due to injury or other
circumstances, many of them suffer
withdrawl symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and irritability. If
these athletes would cut back gradually, and reduce training when injury
begins to set in, then these withdrawl
symptoms can be decreased.
Keep in mind that this does not
happen to everyone. For the most part
this is only reserved for the intense,
and very serious athlete.

It is impossible to get any good deals"say team owners

by Kenneth Reich
The deal under which the Los
Angeles Raiders are being given
$115 million in financing to move to
Irwindale, Calif., and build a football
stadium
there
may
seem
extraordinary.
But the Irwindale-Raider agreement is only one example of the lucrative offers being solicited or made
these days to retain or obtain such
professional sports teams, according
to 120 stadium executives and municipal officials who gathered here
Monday and Tuesday from all over
the country for a two-day conference.
One speaker after another said at
the meeting, sponsored by the International City Management Association, that owners of professional
franchises are putting unprecedented
pressure on public authorities for big
giveaways, which many say are unjustified by simple economics.
For instance, the assistant New
York City comptroller, Steven Newman, told how George Steinbrenner,
owner of the New York Yankees, is
threatening to move the baseball
team to New Jersey's Meadowlandsa move made earlier by the New
York Jets and Giants football franchises- unless New York gives Yankee Stadium a commuter train stop
that would cost millions of dollars.
"Clearly, the most important aspect of sports is not economics," sa id

Newman, explaining the city point of
view. "Never has been , never will be.
It's psychological. It's a question of
playing on municipal pride in having
a team.... And often , it's political."
Quite frankly, Newman said, neither the mayor of New York nor any
of the other New York politicians
involved want to be accused later of
losing the Yankees. So, he indicated ,
the commuter train station might
well be provided.
Another speaker, Mike McGee,
general manager of the Summit Stadium in Houston , said that even as he
spoke the City of Jacksonville, Fla.,
was detailing a $115-million , 10year offer to lure the Houston Oilers
football team to the Florida city.
"That's $70 million more than they
could receive in Houston during the
same time frame ," McGee said. He
said he wondered whether the offer
would be accepted that day. (It was
not).
William Waterman, chairman of
the Stadium and Building Authority
for the Pontiac, Mich., Silverdome,
said the experience of his facility is
that it must give away so much in
services to get big events, such as the
Super Bowl , that there is no way it
gets a fair return unless a big commercial company, such as General
Motors, also comes in to help subsidize the event.
These were only a few of the ex-

amples given here. Washington representatives told how the Washington Redskins football team owner ,
Jack Kent Cook, is threatening to
leave for the suburbs unless he is
given a new, fancier stadium in
Washington. The executive assistant
to the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., said
his city was willing to build a $47million stadium to entice a National
Basketball Association team to Charlotte. Baltimore was said ready to
build two stadiums to attract teams.
At a panel discussion Tuesday, a
stadium expert and Lake Forest College economics professor, Rober^
Baade, said that "more aggressive
behavior" by team owners, making
ever-greater demands on public offi-

cials, is beginning to be balanced by
what he termed "greater public
awareness of owner extortion."
But, he went on, there is still a need
for "cities to develop countervailing
of power to avoid being used and
exploited" by the owners.
Ray Ward, executive vice president of the Oakland-Alameda
County Coliseum in California , had
said earlier that the city's position in
relations with the owners is a difficult
one.
"They attempt to deal with the less
knowledgeable, more pressurable
type of official," he said, and to
change what ought to be a business
relationship into "an exercise in
macho."

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ward said that in some cases, officials conclude "that if you have to
have a team , you 'd better resign
yourself to giving them the office
keys."
On Monday, the Cincinnati Reds
baseball team owner, Marge Schott,
opened the conference by mentioning some of her frustrations in dealing with Cincinnati officials. *
While expressing devotion to Cincinnati , her hometown , Schott said,
"There 's always a chance of a team
moving- because that 's where the big
bucks are."
While the tenor of the conference
was mainl y that the professional
team owners are usually unreasonable, a differen t point of view was

^ssssssssssssssssss

presented by Xavier Hermosillo,
spokesman for the City of Irwindale,
who told the meeting that Irwindale
has found the Raiders owner, Al
Davis, "very reasonable and supportive."
Irwindale feels that the money it is
putting up to secure the Raiders is
well within reason because it has
concluded that the team will bring in
$250 million in business to the city
every year, Hermosillo said.
Other speakers were skeptical
about such projects. 'The economic
band wagon may t>e greatly exaggerated," said the Summit's McGee.
"It's becoming almost impossible to
get a good deal."

Lineman are key to offense
by Troy Hunsinger
Staff Writer
Most people have heard of Jay
DeDea and Tommy Martin because
they have broken many of the school
records, but how many people have
heard of the people that help them ^ct
those records.
How many people have heard of
John Avia or Bob Preston? These arc
just two of the Huskies offensive linemen that have opened the holes for
Martin and held off the opposing team
from getting to DeDea.
The Huskic linemen have done a

gnj at job and are largely responsible
for the team progress but last
Saturday's loss to the West Chester
Rams was a real "bruiser" for our
linemen. Four of the five starting linemen were injured during this game.
Right tackle John Avia and left guard
David Pysher were both sidelined
with "deep contusions." .
Offensive right tackle Phil Sallusti
ripped a ligament in his right knee and
will be out for the season. Offensive
line coach Dave Fortunato said that
Sallusti was in the process of "having
a great season."

Sallusti and Jeff Sparks shared in
the player of the week honors. Freshman left tackle Robert Grow had a
pulled muscle in his neck and shoulder.
Freshman Brian Crouthmael has
also seen much playing time at this
position and filled in for Grow. Center
Bob Preston was the only linemen that
did not suffer a casualty.
All of the linemen except for Sallusti will be suited up and ready to go
for this Saturday 's game against East
Stoudsburg.

team has outstanding recruitment
The Husky offensive line has bocii seriously hurt by injuries form the West Chester game. One player suffered torn ligaments and

Huskies defeat Susquehanna

by Kuskin Mark
Staff Writer
Susquehanna University was a
team the Huskies needed to beat. In a
repeat performance of last year, the
Huskies came away winners with a 40 margin.
Under cool , comfortable conditions
the game started with the Huskies
taking immediate control of proceedings. Dave Tuscano and Jack Milligan , a fearsome front two from Council Rock H.S., played havoc with the
opposing defence and were unlucky
on several occasions not to have
scored.
Ttiscano in particular, had a couple
ferocious shots go just wide of the
mark , and with any luck could have
scored twice within twenty minutes of
the first half.
Midway through the first half the
Huskies had nothing to show for their
efforts. However , at the 26 minute
mark this all changed when Caribbean-born sophomore Alfred McK-

enzic scored on a header off a wellflighted cross from Tuscano.
At the half the score was still 1-0,
but Bloomsburg by this time had the
measure of the opponents. Midfielder
Jerry Crick , BU' s other Caribbean
import , was very much on top of his
game and went about conducting a
dribbling-and-ball-control clinic.

He repeatedly spun , turned , and
weaved his way past opponents , but
could not finish off his attempts. He
teamed up nicely with fellow
midfielders Dave Deck and Karl Alexy and together they went about
stamping their authority on the game.
With four minute s gone in the second half Crick scored his second goal
of the season. He eluded an advancing
goalkeeper by delicately slotting the
ball through his legs and into the net
after receiving a pass from Milli gan.
As the second hal f wore on the
Huskies continued to do most things
well and were justl y rewarded with

Bloomsburg tennis

goals by co-captain Dave Deck and
freshman Eric Pfizenmayer. Deck's
goal was unassisted, while Matt
Moyer assisted on Pfizenmayer's.
Gregg Holgate, John Andronis, and
Alfred McKenzie all -had strong
games on defense, and were instrumental in beginning several attacks.
Goalkeeper Keith Cincotta had a
relatively easy day in goal and made
only three saves in registering his
second shut-out of the season.
Bloomsburg out shot Susquehanna
23-5 and with a little luck could have
scored close to eight goals.
Coach Steve Goodwin must be
pleased with his team 's overall performance in this a pivotal game for the
Huskies. Most encouraging also , was
the amount of quality time the reserves were able to play, and the superb job they did while they were in.
The Huskies host Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Saturday at
l:oo PM, and hope to continue their
winning ways.

Women win twice, men work

by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg University men 's
and women's tennis teams were busy
this past week as the men traveled to
mary land to partici pate in the Navy

The women's team, on the other
han d, played to dual matches against
Lock Haven and Kutztown , winning
both.
Despite the heavy schedule, the
women's team was able to defeat Lock
Haven 7-2 and Kutztown 9-0.
The two wins by the women Huskies raised their record to 5-3 overall
and undefeated (2-0) in the Pennsyl-

vania Slate Athletic Conference
(PSAC).
At the Lock Haven match , the Huskies played well , coming up with
some hard-fought three-set wins.
Against Kutztown , which the Huskies hosted here at Bloomsburg, some
of the BU women let some menial
lapses gel them in trouble , but still
readil y handled the Bears, 9-0.
The Bloomsburg University
women's team will be hosting East
Stroudsburg today at 3 p.m. and Millersville will be invading on Saturday

by Mary Ellen Spisak
Staff Writer
"The level of intensity in a Division
I school makes the difference." said
Stafford , Virginia 's Eric Major .
It is definitely a challenge, the level
of intensity, as the new group of guys
on the mat prepare for a long, hard
season.
"Working and moves must be in
succession ," said John Copeland.
"You must think while you wrestle!
To be the best, it takes all the
elements; dedication , willpower, and
God. Basically, takin ' care of business."
It is not only a change physically,
but also mentally. Technique, style,
and moves are more demanding; as
are practice time, quick mental thinking, and knowledge of your opponent.
(il New Hampshire's Scott Minickiello said , "It is a huge step up mentall y and physically. You have to give
your entire you , until you can 't go
anymore. Go with what you feel and
cancel your thoughts."
"There is no compensation for the
intensity of wrestling here," said
Randy Grant of Maryland, "it is transitions as I begin to practice and these
are transitions that must be made!"
"It will take a lot of individual time,
on our own. Extra hours lifting, running and drilling. " New Jersey 's Anthony DcFlumeri said.
In an effort to contend with the

immense changes these Freshmen
must encounter, they have an excellent coaching staff to train and drill
them.
"I feel Bloomsburg has the best
supporting staff in the nation!" In
addition , Randy Grant said, "Coach
Sanders' technical knowledge will
help me more."
The coach and his staff are definitely the driving force behind , what
is soon to be an NCAA top competitor. These Freshmen are exposed to
the best of the best and are influenced
the toughest way— through experience!
"Coach Sanders tells us to never
give up; to wrestle 7 hard minutes on
the mat!" said Eric Nicolla of
Claysville.

DcFlumeri commented , "The
coach tells you to give 100%, walking
off the mat knowing you did your
hest!"
He is definitely a positive influence, cares a lot, sets an excellent
example, goes out of his way and
gives wrestlers initiative. He wants
the best out of you—110%." Anthony
Quartararo of New Jersey commented.
He projects a winning attitude!"
said Eric Major.
Minickiello said, "When you 're on
the mat, you can never stop; it must be
a 7 minute battle. Coach wants 110%

from everyone."
It is evident that our grapplers have
a superb attitude and much potential.
It is because of our head coach and his
staff that these freshmen are willing to
lay it all on the line to be the best. With
all this emphasis on being the best,
winning and giving 110%, who has
time for studying? Wrestlers!
"Academics is #1, then comes
wresding." said Copeland.
Quartararo said, "Academics is a
big part of an athlete's life. Your
grades always come first/'
All Freshmen wrestlers are required to attend a mandatory study
hall, in which they are to make good
use of their time on their academic
subjects. The concern on the part of
staff and team should answer the
question of which comes first— Academics or wrestling!
Bill Harris of Mifflintown added
"The Coach is very down to earth; he
is interested in you as a student as well
as a wrestler!"
Craig Katynski of Bethlehem said,
"Apart from trying harder and wrestling harded, the most important aspect to consider are your grades!'
In the midst of all their goals—
starting varsity, being an NCAA
competitor, an All American, grades
complete the all round athlete. On a
quest for the gold, they find their
place, and make their mark on the
wrestling mat!

Linksman put forth best finish yet
by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Playing in soggy conditions, the
Husky linksmen played what golf
coach George Skomsky described
as "the best finish this year" and
took a fifth place out of ten teams
at the Hershey Pocono Intercollegiate Golf Tournament.
Bloomsburg hosted the ten team
event that was won by SUNY Binghamton with a four-man team
score of 309. The teams consist of
five players and the best four
scores are counted. In the case of a
tie then the fifth scores are compared, but only then.
It came into play in this tournament when PSAC rival, and defending tournament champion ,
West Chester also finished their
top four with a similar score of 309.
But when the fifth men were compared, Binghamton was declared
the winner by a 82-97 margin.
The individual winner , or
Medalist, was Kevin Savage from

Binghamton who shot a two-overpar 73. In second place were defending Medalist, Chris Kelly from
West Chester and Todd Kramer
form Dickinson who both shot 74's.
The Huskies did well in their own
tournament played in Whitehaven
at the Hershey Pocono Resort. Senior Scott Griffis tied for eighth overall with his seven-over-par 78. Sophomore Bob Meyers was the Huskies second man with an 82 while
freshmen Jeff Seidel and Jim Lucas
finished with an 84 and 86, respectively. Senior Doug Barbacci was
one stroke of the pace with an 87.
The Huskies finished fifth with a
team score of 330 behind Binghamton, West Chester, Dickinson
(316), and Elmira (328). The rest of
the field ran King's college in sixth
(331), Swarthmore (333), Mil'lersviUe (335), York College (345)
and Muhlenburg College (349).
Because of the weather condiditons, the players were allowed to
mark, clean and place their balls in

the fairway and the rough.
The Huskies didn't fare as well
in the tournament the week before though. The linksman finished 15th out of 16 beating only
Moravian out of the field.
At the East Stroudsburg University Fall Invitational, the Huskies were overpowered. St Johns
University was the team champion with a score of 313. Host ESU
was second (318) and Dickinson
(321) was third.

The event's Medalist was Kyle
Davis from a Division m school
named Ramapo. Davis shot par
on the course which was 72,
For the Huskies, Griffis shot an
85, Barbacci, 89, Seidel, 93,
Lucas, 94 and Meyers, 98.
Bloomsburg will now be readying to go to the ECAC qualifyer in
Lancaster on Thursday, October
8. Two teams and ten individuals
will be selected to go on to nationals.
