BU's Health Center

Excuses not given

by Bridget Sullivan
Staff Writer
The
policy
Bloomsburg
University's Health Center maintains
of not providing excuses for students
who miss classes because of illness
has drawn criticism from professors
and students because of the problems
both groups encounter with
absenteeism.
The policy, presented in the 198788 Undergraduate Catalog, states that
"The Health Center does not issue
medical excuses except in the case of
extended illness which necessitates
convalescence away from campus or
strict bed rest."
An excuse will not be issued to a
student who is "ill and chooses not to
go to class...because of the volume of
students that come in every day- all
they want is an excuse," health center
nurse Dee Hranitz said.
If a professor wants an excuse for a
student's absence, he or she can call
the center and some one "will support
the student.. .to verify it,"Hranitz said.
Assistant Professor of biology and
allied health sciences John Fletcher
believes that absences should be verified in some way.
"It is the student's responsibility to
attend class," Fletcher said. "Cuts
should be considered in grades.
Absences are predicated upon illness
and should be documented."
Fletcher added that in large classes
of 150 or more, professors can't take
roll because it would be a burden on
the other students.
"I do not feel that I should have to
check up on something that is under
their (the center's) objective. It would
be much more simple to have a standardized form issued to the student,"
Fletcher said. "Then, if there are any
questions about that, the prof, can go
to the health center or to whomever."
Fletcher said the health center's
policy puts more responsibility on,
him and "with 600 students, it becomes not only burdensome, it becomes an impossibility."
Although he does not take roll
"except for the three time required by
the Registrar," Associate Professor of
political science James Percy believes
that if the health center knows a student is ill, they should give the student
an excuse. He said students' grades
from some professors will sufferwithout an excuse for absence.
Percey, who has been teaching at
BU for 23 years, said that the health
center gave students a standard excuse
when he first came here. He agreed
that the form is a good idea and said he
doesn't know why the center stopped
issuing them.
Some professors, however, would
rather hear from the students thant
from the health center.
Assistant Professor of theater

Karen Inselm said if a student is going
to miss a class she should be informed
of the absence ahead of time if possible.
She added that she would rather
hear from students than the health
center "because I trust them. I
wouldn't doubt them unless they do
poor work or miss class all the time."
Inselm said she also agrees with
using a standardized excuse.
Students also have an opinion about
the policy.
Freshman Kim Reuter had six
points taken off her grade by one of
her professors even though she was
sick and was treated at the health
center.
When Reuter told her professor he
could call the center to verify her reason for absence, he simply said,
"That's not good enough."
Senior Kevin Coyle was also told to
ask his professor to call the health
center last year when he was treated
for broken ribs.
"They (the center) put us in a bad
position with professors," Coyle said.
"Asking a professor to go out of his
way to call is an inconvenience. It
would be much easier for the center to
give us an excuse."
"If you see the doctor, even if you
have to get bed rest or be hospitalized,
you should get an excuse," agreed
students Lisa Nielsen and Linda John.
Jane Frantz, an instructor in the
mass communications department,
said "since attendance is so important
for every class...if a student is genuinely sick, the health center should
issue an excuse.
"Students can say they 're sick any
time,"Frantz said. She said if a student
is sick and is treated at the health
center, it should be acknowledged in
writing.
"Health professionals should be
able to distinguish whether a student is
sick or not." she added.

Bloomsburg University has plans to
build a new library and is not considering an annex to or an expansion of
Andruss Library.
Dr. Robert Parrish , vice president
for administration , said, "Andruss
Library was designed for four floors.
To realize this, we would have to adjust the load level capabilitcs of the
third floor and tear off a 2-year-old
roof and build up."
Parrish added that portions of the
third floor were not meant for load
bearing and when more books were
added recently, the weight sprung the
third floor support members.
"The amount of money required to
add to Andruss would be high compared to the limited results that would
be achieved ,"Parrish said. "We prefer
to design a new facility that would
accommodate 7,000-10,000 students
and have enough space for the technology of a modern library."
Parrish said the spot for the proposed library is still being discussed.
"One possible place is the library
mall (the green-space area in front of
Andruss Library)," Parrish said,
"anotherplace is the girls Softball field
next to Waller Administration."
Parrish said even though space is
becoming crucial on the lower campus and the proposed building will be
a structure of 120,000 square feet, he
said , "The upper campus has not been
discussed because we want it close to
the institution."
Daniel Vann , director of library
services, explained why he believes
the proposed library should not be
built adjacent to Andruss.
'If we build a unit next to Andruss,
we might not have room to expand,"
said Vann. "Andruss was not planned
to be added to, only heightened. The

new building will have capability to
be expanded ."
Vann said, "It's possible Andruss
could be remodelled, but we need at
least 120,000 square feet of space. "
He added that Andruss has an area of
45,000 square feet. An annex of
80,000 square feet would be needed to
fulfill the required space.
"An annex would be twice as big as
the present building," Vann said, "It
would dwarf the present building. The
symmetry of the campus would be
destroyed."
Vann gave the reasons why the
university needs a 120,000 squarefoot complex.
"We want space for exhibits , seminars and classes," he said. "We also
want space for a browsing collection
and room for research. We want these
features in a cost effective unit. "

sion to build a new library will rest
with President Ausprich and the university trustees."
Ianiero also said that Andruss is no
longer adequate for BU's needs.
"Deficincies in the old building
exist, such as sagging floors, lack of
electrical accommodations and lack
of space," he said.

Parrish said that different applications for Andruss are being considered once the new library is constructed.He added that cost will determine the conversion.
"One of many ideas considered was
a computer center with the concept of
mainframes on the lower levels,"
Parrish said. "The main floor would
be a user area, with the second floor
for computer disciplines with a common software library."

Andruss Library fails to meet the needs of the growing population at BU. Plans are underway to build a new library.

Day of Unity
observed today

Bloomsburg s Women 's Center is
observing the seventh annual National Day of Unity today, along with
domestic violence programs across
the nation. The day is set aside to
remember women who have been
victims of domestic violence.
"Domestic violence affects everyone- victims, their families, the
schools, the workplace, the police,"
Melissa Dyas, executive director of
the Women 's Center said.
Throughout the month of October,
which is Domestic Awareness Month,
the center will provide sermons on
domestic violence, articles, newsletters, and prayers dedicated to the victims.

The available funds from the state
and private donations will determine
how far BU will go with its plans.
Parrish said the university needs $8
million to $11 million to build the new
library. He adds that a feasibilty study
to determine if $3 million can be
raised from private sources will begin
after the state tells the university how
much they will get in governement
funds.
"This will not be a bricks-and-mortar campaign ," Parrish said. "The
money (raised from the private
sources will be used to provide new t
echnology and furnishings."

decided senators Friday.
Specter 's announcement that he
will also vote against confirmation be
cause of Bork 's "repeated and recent
rejection of fundamental constitutional doctrines" came in midafternoon after Sanford , Pryor and
Johnston had made their statements,
and was another blow to the administration.
As the only moderate, undecided
Republican on the Judicary Committee, Specter had a high profile during
the hearings on the nomination as he
relentlessly grilled Bork and other
witnesses on complex questions of
constitutional interpretation.
The sudden stampede against Bork
was characterized by Senate Minority Whi p Alan K. Simpson, R-Wyo.,
as "an orchestrated effort"to produce
"the defector of the day" and create
an atmosphere that could doom
Bork 's chances. White House officials, describing Reagan as determined to salvage the nomination,
insisted there was still time to reverse
the tide against Bork.
"It's a tough fi ght, but I think
we're doing well and we're going to
keep going," Attorney General Edwin Meese III said after he and White
House chief of staff Howard H. Baker
Jr. met with Senate Republican leaders and all GOP Judiciary Committee
members except Specter.
But Bork's allies were unable to
produce any defectors of their own,
and a new poll of public opinion in 12
southern states lent credence to
Johnston 's prediction of solid opposition to the nomination by southern
Democrats.
The poll by the Roper Organization, published Thursday by the Atlanta Constitution, said southerners
oppose the nomination by 51 percent
to 31 percent. More important, the
poll suggested that the opposition is
broad as well as intense. Bork's confirmation was opposed 46 to 34 percent by southern whites, 47 to 38
percent by men, 54 to 24 percent by
women and 44 to 39 percent by selfdescribed conservatives, according
to the poll.

Bork s support did not exceed 40
percent in any of the states, the poll
said. The latest Washington Post
ABC News Poll showed opposition
to Bork 's confirmation among southern whites rising from 25 percent in
August to 41 percent in mid-September.
"Bork's support has been slipping
every single day,"an aide to a s outhern Democratic senator said. Other
sources said the results of the Roper
poll in the South had been circulated
among southern Democrats before
their publication Thursday .
Johnston 's decision , announced at
a noon news conference, was the
clearest indication that Bork 's nomination is in serious trouble. A senior
member of the Senate with ambitions
to succeed Majority LeaderRobert C.
Byrd , D-W.Va., Johnston was
thought unlikely to move early
against Bork unless he was certain of
solid support, including that of his
fellow southern Democrats.
Reflecting the deep and passionate
divisions in his state over the Bork
nomination , Johnston went out of his
way to stress his decision had nothing
to do with the abortion issue. Bork

Bork soon to he history
by Don Chomiak
It was with great relief that I noticed
the headlines in newspapers Friday
that said Aden Specter, a Republican
Senator from Pennsylvania who is
considered the swing vote in the confirmation hearings, has decided to
oppose the nomination of Robert Bork
to the Supreme Court.
The Senator , who in this decision is
opposing his president and party , put
the issue quite well when he said there
is "substantial doubt as to how he
(Bork) would apply fundamental
principles of constitutional law."

crats in giving Bork thumbs down.
It is about time.
No nominee in recent history has
created such fervor as this former
socialist , then New Deal Democrat,
now conservative and judge. Examining Bork' s views alone, and not his
history, there appears to be reason
enough to oppose him.

Anyone who argues that "there is no
way...that the Supreme Court can
properly give substantive meaning to
an idea as broad as libcrtv - so the
Court should not enforce that concept
in the 14th Amendment " is a danger to
In this decision , Specter joined the broad freedoms now enjoyed by
three previousl y undecided Demo- the citizens of this country.

Bork considers the freedom of
speech to apply only to those individuals who are "political. " Bork' s stand
on basic liberties has organizations as
renowned as the ACLU , NOW , and
the NAACP against him.
Willi this shift on the pari of Senator
Specter, it appears as though the
nomination of Robert Bork will most
probably fall through. Who shall follow? Will the next nominee be as far to
the Right as Judge Bork? Should such
a nominee appear , will there be
enough momentum remaining to halt
what in Bork' s case would have been
"the altering of the substance of the
Court for the next 30 years?"

What it is thai constitutes a Christian (or, for that matter , a Moslem ,

is a live question for many South
Africans. A large number of South
Africans arc devoull y religious; most

Many of those whose mass mobilization against the regime constitutes

As a South Afri can , I am committed

ever before me, I have learned the
necessity for struggling against racism wherever it rears its ugly head.
I am also bound to remember that
the leaders of the Afrikaner nationalism that now oppresses my sisters and
brothers at home gave support - often
overt, sometimes passive - to the
Nazis during the war , and that there
arc close affinities between the ideological traditions of Nazism and apartheid.

Pro f oothall f ree agentry not to he f eared

George Will
Editorial Columnist
Pro football is shut down , which it
should be until baseball reaches its
October apogee. Footbal l owners,
with time on their hands, should note
that the national pastime has vindicated the national premise: Freedom
works.
Football's controversy concerns
free agency - the right of players to sell
their services in a free market when
their contracts expire. Football players want that right; team owners object.
Baseball players won that right on
Christmas Eve, 1975, and now have
won an arbitrator 's ruling that owners
recently colluded to negate that right.
In 1985, after years of fevered spending for free agents, the owners' bidding came to a screeching stop. Essentially this happened: 26 economic
entities suddenl y and simultaneously
altered their behavior radically and in
the same way. Collusion, you say?
My, you are a suspicious one.
The wonder is: How could 26 owners have expected to get away with it?
Perhaps they did not expect to.
Don Fehr,head of the players' association, thinks the owners may have
wanted to "change the dynamic " of
baseball bargaining and expected that
any penalty would approximate what
they would have paid in rising sala-

ries. But , he says, owners arc in a bind
as 1987's free agents - an especially
luminous group (Mike Schmidt , Jack
Morris, Cal Ripken , among others)
come on the market.
If in the wake of the arbitrator 's
ruling the owners resume competitive
bidding, that changed behavior will
validate the ruling. But if in the face of
the ruling they continue the behavior
that earned the ruling, they will make
themselves vulnerable to severe penalties.

Free agency is an idea attuned to the
contemporary ethos of expanded individual choice. And football owners
should learn from baseball that free
agency is not something that need be
feared. W ith free agency, owners have
nothing to fear but themselves.
Baseball owners had two fears
about it. They thought they might go
mad and bid up salaries irrationally.
And they thought free agency might
result in the unshakable dominance of
teams in the biggest markets: High
attendance and broadcasting revenues
would enable Los Angeles and New
York teams to skim die cream off

every batch of free agents, and those
teams would monopolize division
championships.
Some owners did go mad and their
excesses pulled up all salaries, partly
because of arbitration. In that proce-

dure, an eligible player demands X,
his team offers Y, and the arbitrator
can not split the difference. He must
pick one sum or the other.
Many owners arc not in baseball
because they believe it is the most
efficient way to increase their wealth.
Rather , they are motivated by animal
spirits - competitiveness , the quest for
fame, fascination with the game.
Having noneconomic motives, they
are not slaves of economic rationality.
They often convinced themselves that
one more free agent would put tlieir
teams in the playoffs, thereby pay ing
for that player and much else.
Average salaries rose steadily and
spectacularly, from $51,000 in 1976
to $143,756 in 1980 to $412,520 in
1986, then slipped this year to approximately $395,000. But the owners ' national television revenues
(there are also other broadcasting
revenues) will rise from just under $25
million a year 1976-79 to an average
of $180 million a year 1984-89 , peaking in 1989 at more than $230 million .

Furthermore, competitive balance,
far from disappearing, is better than
ever and has produced attendance
records. The St. Louis Cardinals ,
serving one of baseball' s smallest
markets, are about to become, with the
New York Mets, the second and third
teams to draw more than three million

Nationwide premarital testing for
infection with the AIDS virus would
cost more than $ 100 million a year to
detect about 1,200 infected individuals, a small proportion of the estimated 1 million infected Americans,
according to a new study by researchers at the Harvard School of Public
Health.
False positive tests would also
show up in about 380 of those tested
each year, leading them to believe
they were infected when they actually were not, and about 120 infected
individuals would be missed because
they tested negative, according to the
report published Thursday in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association.

Soviets hop e f o r 'military detente

by Celestine Bohlen
L.A. Times-Washinton Post Service
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev ,
saying he expected his coming summit meeting with President Reagan to
cause a "peaceful chain reaction" that
could lead to a series of arms agreements , Thursday proposed new talks
between NATO and the Warsaw Pact
to curtail military activity in the
northern European seas.
Speaking in the Arctic port city of
Murmansk, Gorbachev said he saw
"signs of improvement" in international affairs and outlined his concept
ofa "miliiary detente" encompassing

The speech , with domestic and
international themes, sought to reassur e listeners of the progress of
Gorbachev 's reform campai gn ,

Gorbachev said the reform process
had attracted the interest of millions

"anti-Soviet attacks" were being ignored by those engaged in business
and political contacts with Moscow.

was strongl y backed by "right-tolife" groups, but Johnston said that
opponents of abortion who viewed
Bork as "some sort of savior" should
also "look at his writings- his lack of
occupation with morals and religion."
Before the hearings, Time magazine said Bork was an agnostic, a
description he denied during his testimony.
Johnston said Bork's stated views
on a number of issues, particularly
civil rights questions, showed that his
was "a scholarship devoid of moral
content. He misses the spirit of the
Constitution."
He said another factor was that
Bork, a native of Pittsburgh, was nom
inated to replace retired Justice Lewis
F. Powell Jr., who was the high
court's lone southerner. "We've
always had a southerner on the court
and we ought to have one now,"
Johnston said.
The generall y conservative southern Democrats have long been recogniz edby both sides as the pivotal bloc
of votes in ihe Bork confirmation
fight. Opposition by most of them, as
Johnston predicted , would virtually
doom Bork' s nomination.

Going into the battle, Bork 's opponents could count on a base of about
29 votes against confirmation among
Democrats who last year voted
against elevating Justice William H.
Rehnquist to chief justice. Some ol
these mostl y liberal Democrats have
not announced how they will vote on
the Bork nomination , but there have
been no signs of cracks in this base.
In addition, five of the six freshmen
Democrats from outside the South
are considered virtually certain to
oppose confirmation. Sen . Bob Packwood, R-Ore., the firstRepublican to
voice opposition to Bork , said earlier
this week that at least two more
Republicans would j oin him.
Packwood's list of opponents did not
include Specter, raising the number
of likely GOP defectors to at least
four.

Along widi Johnston , Pryor and
Sanford , the likel y opponents total 41
votes. If the remaining eight uncommitted Democrats in five statesAlabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana-all bolt to the opposition camp, Bork's opponents
would be within easy striking distance of the 51 votes needed to defeat
the nomination on the Senate floor.

preceded by wide public debate and
by a package of compensatory measures to soften its economic impact.
He noted that heavil y subsidized
prices for staples such as^ bread and
meal had cost the state 57 billion
rubles (S90 billion at the official
exchange rate) so far ihis year, and
thai they had fostered "disrespect"
for the product , to the point where
bread was used to feed livestock and
even as footballs by young people.
Gorbachev also defended plan s to cut
down on the size of the huge Sov ict
bureaucracy. Some Moscow-based
ministries face staff cutbacks of as
much as 50 percent this fall, according to Soviet source.
He noted that one-sixth of the
Soviet workers are managers, and
that management costs add up to 40
billion rubles a year.
He said bad habits had built up over
the past years, to the point w.he re
many people had become psychologicall y used to stagnation.

The Harvard study sharply questions the value of a testing strategy t
hat has become a popularpolitical response to the AIDS epidemic. Eighty
separate bills to require premarital
testing have been introduced in 35
states, and three states- Illinois, Louisiana and Texas-have already passed
laws that would require some form of
mandatory testing, according to
Caitlin Ryan of George Washington
University 's Intergovernmental
Health Policy Project. "People perceive premarital screening as an accurate, harmless, low-cost, effective
way of stopping the spread of the
virus ," said Paul D. Geary, an associate professor of social medicine and
health policy at Harvard and the
study 's principal author. "In fact,
those assumptions don 't hold up.
I think compulsory premarital
screening is an example of a technolo
gical 'quick-fix ' that may distract us
from development of a comprehensive national program" to control
acquired immune deficiency syndrome, he added.
To estimate the cost and effectiveness of nationwide premarital testi
ng, the Harvard researchers made
calculations based on the prevalence

calculations based on the prevalence
of infection with the ADDS virus
found in male and female blood donors, the accuracy and cost of commonly used blood tests, and the
number of Americans who are married each year.
The effectiveness of premarital
testing programs depends greatly on
how many couples have sex before
marriage and on how easily the virus
is passed during sexual intercourse,
both of which are uncertain. The
report pointed out that of the
1,445,000 first-born children born in
1980, only 63 percent were conceived in wedlock.
The researchers estimated that if
premarital screening were implemented nationally, more than 3.8
million people would be tested each
year at a cost of more than $100
million in laboratory fees and counselling. About 9,000 would test positive on an initial blood test, but only
about 15 percent of them would actually be infected.
A second test called the Western
blot, administered to those with positive initial results to identify those
truly infected, would pick up about
1,200 infected individuals annually
but would be falsely negative in more
than 100 others, the researchers estimated. In addition , it would be falsel y
positive in about 380 uninfected
people who would then be told they
were carrying the virus.

The most commonly used blood
tests for AIDS detect chemicals
called antibodies, which are manufactured by the immune system of an
infected person. Most infected indibodies within 3 to 12 weeks after
exposure to the AIDS virus,but occasionally a person may not produce
antibodies for more than a year after
becoming infected and therefore
continues to test negative.
A new blood lest that detects proteins from the virus may help identi fy
infected individuals who are not yet
producing antibodies, but it has not
yet been licensed.

Special Olympics rewarding to all

by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor
If you're happy and you know it
clap your hands," could be heard
throughout Centennial Gym as the
1987 season of Special Olympics got
underway this past Saturday.
Children from the areas of Danville ,
Zimbabwe , Berwick , Benton ,
Milville , and Bloomsburg came to
enjoy a morning of games, songs, and
relay races. Volunteers began the day
by leading the children in popular
songs such as Itsy Bitsy Spider , Old
McDonald' s Farm, and The Wheels
on the Bits..
After songs and stretching, everyone separated into teams. The relay
races began as kids tested their skills
of weaving in and out of cones while
supportive teammates cheered them
on to the finish line.
For Heather Hunsingcr of
Bloomsburg , Saturday was her first

time at Special Olympics. Heather,
who attends special education classes
at Bloomsburg Memorial School , was
insistent on coming to Special Olympics. Carol Hunsingcr , Heather 's
mom , said, "Another boy from her
class kept talking about it , and that
really got Heather going."
Heather had told her mom earlier
that she needed a friend. "When I
walked in and saw the smile on her
face as she played , a lump came to my
throa t and tears to my eyes," said
Hunsingcr. Of the program Hunsingcr
said , "I' m impressed with the factthat
there all winners -1 like that. "
Advisor for the Special Olympics
pro gram is Dr. John McLaiighlin and
coordinators are Margie Corcoran ,
Joni Deacan , Jon Jones , and Dawn
Renee Padner.
Special Ol ymp ics is held six times a
semester and includes a Halloween
partv , Christmas party and skating

party. For Special Olympics to work ,
volunteers are essential. Approximatel y 30 volunteers helped turn the
opening day into a success. Jones
added that, "You can never have too
many volunteers, and I've never heard
negative comm ents when people are
leaving. All majors are welcomed and
no experience is needed."
The main event for Special Olympics is a meet held at Bucknell University in the spring, and Corcoran said,
"Usually at the beginning, the kids get
to socialize with one another. But latex
in spring , they start preparing for
Bucknell ."
In the near future, meetings will be
held to plan events and offer new and
exciting ideas to add to the program.
The meetings will be announced at a
later date. Also, sign-up sheets are
locate d in Navy Hall for those interested in voluntee ring.

"The Fat Boy s "eat their way to sweet success
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

"Uh , oh, there 's an eatathon coming
up."
The Fat Boys - the celebrated rotund
rappers - had just rumbled in and one
could not miss them.
Mark "Prince Markie Dec" Morales
is merely big, but Darren the "Human
Beat Box " Robinson and Damon
"Kool Rockski" Wimblcy are humongous.
Notorious for years now within rap
circles , these Brookl yn youngsters Morales is still onl y 19; Wimbley and
Robinson are just 20 - have become
superstars.
Among their credits: three hit
albums , including the current millionseller , "Crushin '," featuring the riotous rap remake of the surf classic
"Wipeout " - featuring the Beach
Boys. They have also starred in their
own movie, "Disorderlies ," a Three
Stoogeslikecomcdy, and are now on a
North American tour.
Other diners in the hotel dining
room seemed to recognize the trio and could not stop staring. They knew
they were in for a spectacle - the Fat
Boys at feeding time. The rappers
have been known to put on massive
eating exhibitions , junk food mostly,
on

at restaurants. You might say they
have raised gluttony to an art.
When the waiter asked for the order,
they replied two orange juices plus
bacon and eggs. That was just to get
their palate s working, right?
No , that was the entire order.
"We've already had breakfast ,"
Morales said.
You could almost sense the disappointment in the room when the waiter
bought that puny order. The other diners were obviously anticipating a crew
of waiters carting in a truckload of
food.
But the Fat Boys were not themselves that morning. They all seemed
to have crawled out on the wrong side
of the bed .
Morales , the most aggressive and
talkative of the bunch , was almost
combative when the subject of the
"Disorderlies " movie came up. The
film is obviousl y a sore point. It was
supposed to make them movie stars.
"Disorderlies ," their second film ,
has grossed aboutSlO million after six
weeks in release and does not look to
be the group s hoped-for blockbuster.
"Rappin ' is fun but we can go way
beyond that ," Morales said. "We can
be great entertainers. We can do

iriiiTii«iiiimiiiiiiiMiwmiMMrw l*"",,™~~ ,~*~~"™"~'~~'

things people don 't realize we can
do."
Wimblcy, looking up from his bacon and eggs, started giggling at
Morales , whose intensity had mushroomed. Then Morales began laughing too.
"People like us," Robinson said,
"because we're wild and crazy and we
like to have fun .... People like people
who eat."
Robinson was nicknamed the
Human Beat Box in honor of his
unusual skill - providing rhythms by
using various gurgling and grunting
sounds. He regards himself as weird.
"Sometimes I think I' m crazy, reall y crazy," he said , chuckling. "But I
real ly mean it. People try to be serious
with me and I' m smiling and laughing. But I can 't help it."
Wimbley disclosed: "I guess I' m
strange too. I can 't look at anybody 's
face when I tal k to them." He was
looking at his plate at the time.
"The Fat Boys are supposed to be
wild and crazy and confident. People
think because you can rap you like to
talk all the time. I don 't."
Robinson then nudged him and they
both started giggling. End of serious
discussion.

Going to the Bloomsburg Fair was a
new experience for me. Prior to going
there as a freshman , I had never heard
of pierog ies, potato pancakes, tractor
pulls, horticulture exhibits or demolition derbies.
Being a resident of suburban Philadelphia , it really isn't surprising. At
Bloomsburg University, however,
there are many students - suburbanites
from Philadelphia , Scranton, Harrisburg and New York City - whose
naivete could match mine. Therefore,
I thought I'd write about our perceptions of the 1987 Bloomsburg Fair.
Food stands can be found all over
the grounds. My friends and I where
overwhelmed by the hundreds of food
options. Before the fair , I had never
tasted a hot sausage sandwich, and
Maria Blanch of Steelton , Pa. never
had a gyro sandwich.
Regarding the entertainment offered at the fair , the big name performers really didn 't appeal to me. However, if most Bloomsburg residents

were to come to Philly, they probably
wouldn't flip over what is playing at
the Spectrum.
Another feature of the fair was the
strange, gimmicky booths. I paid to
see a large alligator , and the "World' s
Smallest Horse". My favorite was the
"Billy Reed" booth, apparently created to discourage drug abuse.
A friend from Valley Forge, Pa. and
I each paid a dollar to see what Billy
Reed looked like. Allegedly, he overdosed on drugs which made him a
little insane. Needless to say, Billy 's
act wasn't totally credible, so we paid
an additional dollar to see Billy swallow the head of a snake.
Another friend of mine thought the
fair was an arts and crafts free-for-all.
She bought hand-blown glass figurines and hand-carved wooden
plaques as souvenirs of the fair.
Other attractions I saw included the
petting zoo, the display of new farm
machinery, and the horticultural exhibit. However, I passed the rides this
year.

Living in a city like Philadelphia
and getting my college education in a
town like B Ioomsburg is an eye-opening experience, and an education in
itself. I learned a lot from this year's
fair . I learned that I like sausage sandwiches, funnel cakes, fried ice cream,
pierogies, frozen bananas, glazed
doughnuts, gingerbread cookies, etc.

Date rapef actsobscured by social myths

Lionel Hampton will appear October 11, at Haas Center for the Arts.

Hampton performs live

byBurt Korall
Hampton remains the image of
youth and vitality. If you watch or
hear him play vibraharp, piano or
drums, note the huge waves of energy he transmits to his bi g band , or
spend any period of time in his company, it becomes indisputably clear
that Hampton challenges the passage of time.
It is difficult to believe that over
60 years have passed since this legendary musician first became active
professionally. Throughout the
year, he perform s across the country
and abroad with his band , while also
involving himself in multiple activities, some of which have nothing to
do with music.
At the center of his life, however,
is music. Looking back, that 's been
the story since the beginning. Born
in Louisville in 1913, Hampton
grew up in and around Chicago.
Brought up by his grandparents, he
initially got into music in a drum and
fife corp at the Holy Rosary Academy in Wisconsin , not far from
Chicago.
After moving to California with
his aunt in 1928, he became a member - on drums - of a teenage band
headed by Les Hite. The Hite band
was taken over by Louis Armstrong
in 1930, while playing at the Cotton
Club in Culver City.Later that year,
with Armstrong, Hampton made his
first records on vibraharp. (He had

already recorded on drums with the
Quality Serenadcrs.)
Before being "discovered" in the
summer of 1936 at the Paradise
Club in Los Angeles by John Hammond and hired by Benny
Goodman , Hampton performed in
films , worked in radio and continued to study music. Hampton's
four-year association with
Goodman resulted in fame. His associates ranged from Charlie Christian , Ziggy Elman and Jess Stacy to
Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams,
Dizzie Gillespie, Nat King Cole,
Chuck Berry and Ben Webster,
among many others. His perform ances on vibes, drums, and as a twofingered pianist , remains stimulating after over 40 years.
Plans for the future: "I'm thinking
about helping to build a university
of the arts right in Harlem. I want to
do as much as I can for everyone
who needs help. I'm always speaking to people in government, including President Reagan and Vice
President Bush , about what has to be
done to improve things in the country, particularly for black people."
Lionel Hampton will beperformingat2:30p.m., Sunday, Oct. 11, in
Mitrani Hall of the Haas Center for
the Arts. Tickets can be purchased at
the Kehr Union Information- Desk
Monday through Friday from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. or at the door an hour
before the show.

of being rejected. The psychological
weapons of society stop more than
half of the victims from telling authorities, according to Health Magazine. Date rape cases that are brought
to court and publicized often have
negative results for the victims. Lawyers dredge up irrelevant yet unsavory
facts about the sexual histories of victims in order to accuse them of promiscuity. Some law personnel believe
that the judicial system isn 't ready to
handle date rape cases.
More often than not, date rapists are
acquitted for the crimes they've
committed because it is difficult to
prove that the victi m did not provoke
sexual intercourse. Cases involving
alcohol intoxication are particularly
difficult to prosecute because the issue of consent becomes questionable.
As well , jurors don 't usually identif y
attractive men with female partners as
rapists. Until laws pertaining to rape
are modified , women can expect little
protection fro m the judicial system of
our country .
However, women do not have to
face these experiences alone. They
should depend on their friends and

by Robert Hilburn

than Elvis and Buddy Holly.
If Berry 's music is widely known ,
his own story is not.
One reason is that Berry, for most of
his career, has avoided interviews. He
was angered years ago by what he
believes were attempts to sensationalize his remarks. The only thing most
fans know about him is what they have
seen on stage the past two decades ,
and that has not always worked in
Berry 's favor.
Many observers have been disillusioned by Berry 's refusal to do encores, which they sec as a sign that the
singer no longer enjoys performing.
They grumble , too, about his practice
of using "pick-up" bands hired by the
promoter in each city and introduced
to Berry only minutes before going on
stage.
Though hiring "pick-up" bands is
cheaper than employ ing one's own
full-time band , it sometimes results in
sloppy shows that leave fans thinking
of Berry as simply a cold-hearted

family instead of isolating
themselves. Health Magazine reports
that talking about a rape experience
eventually neutralizes the emotional
magnitudeof the incident. Counseling
centers are willing to give the support
victims need to overcome rape episodes. The counseling center at
Bloomsburg University can be found
in the Benjamin Franklin Building, or
an appointment made at 389-4255.
Parade Magazine recently circulated NOVA (National Organization
for Victim Assistance) guidelines for
preventing date rape. Be wary when
your relationship reveals 'dominant
male-submissive female' roles, or
when a date tries to control your behavior or actions in any way.
If a date wants to go further sexually
than you are willing, insist that he
leave, or leave yourself. If you don 't
intend to engage in sexual activities
with someone you are dating, discuss
that at the outset of the relationship.

Finally, be clear in communicating
your feelings, and build a healthy relationship on a strong foundation of love
and understanding.

Chuck Berry surprises fans and music critics

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Chuck Berry has been prized by
rock musicians and fans for four decades as a symbol of the revolution that
chased away Big Band music and
other dull adult sounds.
In hits like "Roll Over Beethoven"
and "Sweet Little Sixteen," Berry
reflected the frisky independence and
innocence of '50s teens with such
unwavering accuracy that they remain
anthems of the era.
So, here is
Chuck Berry sitting in a restaurant
reminiscing about Tommy Dorsey's
"Boogie Woogie"and Glenn Miller's
"In the Mood" and telling how much
he adored singers like Nat Cole and
Frank Sinatra.
"The Big Band Era is my era," he
says, recalling his own heroes.
"People say, where did you get your
style from. I did the Big Band Era on
guitar. That's the best way I could
explain it.
"Let's put it down frank. Rock had
more passion to (kids in the '50s)
because (they) were in school.I was in
school when the big bands (were
popular), so it had passion to me."
Was this rock 'n' roll legend saying
he would have been just as happy
spending his life singing ballads like
Nat Cole?
"Oh, I'd have been (ecstatic),"
Berry says. "I never would have
touched rock 'n ' roll. I'm sorry ...."

Berry smiled sheepishly. He felt
bad about breaking illusions.
"Rock 'n ' roll accepted me and paid
me, even though I loved the big bands
... I went that way because I wanted a
hom e of my own. I had a family. I had
to raise them. Let's don 't leave out the
economics. No way ...."
Chuck Berry and Big Bands?
Chuck Berry smiling?

To mostcritics, Chuck Berry, 60, is
rivaled only by Elvis Presley as the
most influential figure of the first
decade of rock 'n ' rol l, a man whose
memorable guitar-oriented rhythm
and perfectiy sculptured lyrics established him in the '50s as the music's
first great songwriter-performer.
He brought his classic songs to life
on stage with such an energetic show
- highlighted by a zany, low-strutting
duck walk - that no one in the audience
seemed to notice that Berry was in his
30s, ancient by rock standards at the
time, and almost a full decade older

businessman with no respect for his
music or his history.
In the absence of interviews over
the last dozen years, it is easy to look
at Berry's history and build the scenario of a bitter man.
But Berry's story is finally about to
be told.
"Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock V
Roll ," a documentary film directedby
Taylor Hackford will be released soon
by Universal. The film , which includes interviews with Berry, is built
around a concert last October for a
60th birthday salute at the ornate Fox
Theatre in St. Louis. He was joined by
an all-star band featuring the Rolling
Stones' Keith Richards, Eric Clapton,
Robert Cray and Linda Ronstadt.
In addition , Berry's long-promised
autobiography has just been released
by Harmony Books. "Chuck Berry:
The Autobiography" deals at length
with many of the controversial moments in Berry 's life.

Hungarian exchange student likes university
by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor
Five thousand miles away from
Bloomsburg, Pa., the city of Pecs is
unknown to most Bloomsburg University students. But for Jozsef
Horvath, a 28-year-old exchange
student from Hungary, it 's home.
Horvath , who came to BU at the
start of the fall semester, speaks of
his city with pride, mentioning its
churches, castles and other historical
traits. It's in this city where his parents, brother and sister, wife, and son
live. "My family supported my trip
over here. I couldn 't have come over
here without their support." Horvath
mentions that in Hungary, family
relationships are stronger than in the
United States.
After living in Montour Hall for
month, Horvath comments that he
doesn 't mind the 10-year gap between him and most other students
living there. "I don't consider dorm
life terrible. However, it's a kind of
deprivation of privacy for anyone.

Tape of human
distress questioned

by Jozsef Horvath
Staff Writer
Last week an. earthquake hit Los
Angeles, leaving scores of houses in
debris, and causing human casualties.
One woman will always retain the
horrify ing seconds of the earthquake
in her memory and also on the video
tape her son made during the earthquake episode. Her distress was obvious to those who happened to
watch the tape on TV. He did not
rescue his mother from the house. He
stood there, camera on shoulder, and
filmed his mother 's hysteria.
No two people are the same.There
are those who act and those who
register these actions.

But it is a good experience to see how
things go on in American dorms."
Horvath adds that he would have been
more prepared for his stay in America
if he'd learned American slang before
coming to America.
English and journalism are of major interest to him. Horvath, along
with a friend , is the editor of a newspaper in Pecs. The newspaper is printed
in English for Hungarian students
majoring in English, and seventy
copies of the paper are printed every
issue. Horvath , who is a staff writer for
The Voice, is impressed with the technology used in producing the paper.
Horvath' s other interest is Indian
people - especially Ghandi. After
learning about Ghandi's teachings,
Horvath finds his messages relevant
in today 's world. He is a member of
the International Relations Club on
campus and notes that most of the
other members are ei ther Indian or Sri
Lankan.
According to Horvath, many of the
courses offered at BU are not offered
/""

~

in Hungary. The courses at the University are good,"remarks Horvath, "I
wouldn'tbe able to study such courses
as Religion and Magic and Principles
of Cultural Anthropology atPecs."He
adds that he would have liked to have
taken a fencing class during his stay at
the university. Horvath also noticed
that American higher education is
very systematic since everything is
put into a computer, while things in
Hungary are "much more casual."
As a foreigner, Horvath finds that,
"Money and the economy are of great
concern to Americans. I'm not saying
it is wrong, it 's just very apparent."
Also he finds that Americans are more
introspective than Hungarians.
Although Horvath is enjoy ing his
stay in America, he misses his threeyear-old son and is looking forward
to returning home in December.
Horvath adds that students wishing
to learn more about Hungary can do
so through the International Student
Exchange Program.

The Huskies knew that anything
short of a win against Indiana University of Pennsylvania would classif y as
an upset and a major embarrassment.
With this in mind , on Saturday the
Husky Soccer Team went about registering a 4-1 victory.
This win was important for more
than just improving the team's overall
record , but more importantl y for generating momentuym and instilling
confidence. The team deeded these ingredients to take into the game against
upcoming rivals, division-one Bucknell University .
One would have had to look back
five years or more to see the Huskies
in more inspired form. The team
dominated thecontestin every facet of
the game from the very first whistle.
With fifteen minutes gone in the

first half , mid fielder Jerry Crick found
Kurt Schmid unmarked at the edge of
the opponent 's penal ty area with a
good headed pass. Schmid made no
mistake as he controlled the ball
quickly, and in a flash , rifled a powerful shot into the corner of the net for
his second goal of the season.
Ten minutes later, Crick got into the
act again. This time he found Karl
Alcxy with a neat through pass, and
Alexy finished the move with a
sweetly timed left foot shot that curled
away from the goalkeeper as it entered
the net.
IUP pulled one back to reduce the
Bloomsburg lead to 2-1, as an IUP
player intercepted a poorly made
back-pass from a Bloomsburg defender to the goalkeeper and scored into
an open net. With under two minutes
to go in the half , BU defender Gregg
Holgate, after an apparent miscom-

munication , slotted a curling shot
into the lop left hand comer of the
net.
Later, freshman defender and
starter , John Andronis, scored his
fi rst goal of the season as he flicked in
a cross from a corner kick taken by
co-captain Jack Milligan. This put
the game away.
The Huskies face Bucknell University tomorrow at Bucknell.

There was another football mud war
this weekend. The key was defense as
the Huskies kept the East Stroudsburg
Warriors out of the endzone in a 16-3
victory.
The firsthalf was scoreless as neither
offense could capitalize on missed
opportunities. Both teams were well
into the other's territory. One for the
Huskies came when they blocked a
Warrior punt to take possession on the
ESU 26 yard line.
Over the next four plays, Jay DeDea,
the Husky quarterback , was sacked
three times. He then fumbled and ESU
recovered. On one drive in the second
quarter, the Warriors drove from their
own 47 to the BU 37, but ended up
punting the ball away.
In the first possession of the second
half , the Huskies drove 64 yards in 8
plays into the endzone with Rockmore
scoring for the Huskies. This gave the
Huskies a 7-0 lead.
After the BU kickoff , it took the
Warriors 7 plays to go 50 yards, but
they had to settle for a 32 yard field
goal.
The rest of the third quarter was
scoreless. Both teams managed to
"slide" around the field for the rest of
the quarter.
Early in the fourth quarter the Hus-

kies started moving the ball downfield
again, but DeDea got sacked and the
Huskies had to punt. ESU then
fumbled , however, and the Huskies
were able to recover the ball on the
ESU 47 yard line. It wasn 't long before DeDea got sacked again.
This is where the Warriors saw their
chance to come back , but their drive
into Husky territory was unsuccessful. When ESU went to punt, the snap
was low.The Huskies got a safely and
led 9-3 with only 4:14 remaining on
the clock.
Chances for a comeback were then
shattered when Tom Martin
scrambled 56 yards for another Husky
touchdown , giving the Huskies a 16-3
lead.
It was then the Husky defense's turn
to keep ESU away from the BU
endzone. During the Warrior's last
possession, they gave the Huskies a
scare when Denegal(ESU) ran 75yard s for what he thought was a touchdown. It was nullified by a holding
penalty and the ball went back to
ESU' s 26 yard line.
On the day, Tom Martin gained 201
yards in 29 carries. DeDea completed
4 of 13 pass attempts with no interceptions.
' Hopefully the Huskies will be in
better physical condition this week
when we face Cheyney at home.
