Marco Mitrani , one of Bloomsburg
University 's greatest benefacto rs,
died last Monday at Berwick Retirement Village. As one of the three
recipients of the Bloomsburg University Medallion, Mitrani was considered a philanthrop ist of Bloomsburg ,
the university, and the surrounding
communities for most of his life.
Mitrani emigrated from Turkey in
1920, and founded die multi-million
dollar Milco Corporation in
Bloomsburg with his brother Solomon , according to the Press-Enterprise. He married his wife, Louise, in
1937, and friends of the couple insist
that they did everything as a team.
In fact , several insisted that a
memorial story about Mitrani would
not be complete without speaking
about his wife.
They shared the same values, objectives and beliefs - when you talked
with them , it was as if you were talking to one person , one mind ," said
President Ausprich. "He was an
enormously positive influence on tliis
university, and his wife still is."
The Mitranis gave nearly $1 million to BU to support scholarships , the
arts, and other projects including
renovations to Haas Auditorium ,

According to Peggy Bailey, director of grants, the Mitranis foresaw the
needs of the university. "The scholarship fund they gave was absolutely
unsolicited ," Bailey said. "In fact, it
was their idea."
The fund , which bears their name,
gives $ 1,000 per year to academically
gifted students. According to Ianiero ,
the Mitranis created the fund to promole BU as an outstanding learning
institution.
"They are friends of this university
and if you took their (monetary) contributions away, they still would be,"
said Anthony Ianiero, director of the
developmental office . "Mr. Mitrani ,
as well as his wife, have a great love
for BU. They have a dedication for
education - their goal is to help students."
The Mitranis also helped The
Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble financially, and ultimatel y renovated an
old shirt factory for their use.
"Both were great supporters of the
arts. When you listened to them talk,
you could tell how important education and the arts were to them ," said
Dan Kirsch of BTE.
In 1983, BU awarded the Mitranis
university medalions. The medallions
are replicas of the one worn by the

West Germans to patrol Mediterranean
by Robert J. McCartney

L.A.Times-Waskington Post Service

West Germany, under U.S. pressure to support the Western allies'
naval presence in the Persian Gulf ,
announced Thursday that it will send
three warships to the Mediterranean
Sea to take over duties of NATO
members' ships that have been diverted to the Middle East.
The arrival of West Germany 's
task force , scheduled for Oct. 14, will
mark the first time since the country
was founded after World War II that
its warships are assigned to help patrol the Mediterranean.
The decision, announced by the
Defense Ministry, represents a compromise between Bonn 's reluctance
to become entangled in the gulf and
U.S. efforts to obtain the maximum
possible allied support for its policy
there, West German and U.S. officials said.
Five other European allies have
joined the United States in sending
warships to the gulf itself to help
guarantee the free passage of tankers
carrying much of the Western indus-

trialized world' s oil. West Germany,
however , contends that its
constitution bars it from employ ing
its armed forces outside of NATO' s
area.
The decision also signified a modest victory within the Cabinet for
Defense Minister Manfred Wocrncr.
His arguments prevailed , despite
Forei gn Minister Hans-Dietrich
Gcnschcr 's doubts over the wisdom
of dispatching West German ships
outside the waters that they normal ly
patrol in the Baltic , North Sea and
North Atlantic , government and diplomatic sources said.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl pledged
at the June economic summit in
Venice that West Germany would
make available ships to take over
responsibilities of U.S. vessels that
had been sent to the gulf. But it was
unclear until Thursday whether West
Germany would send its ships to the
Mediterranean , or just take over duties in the North Sea and North Atlantic.
"This dispatch is a clear sign of
West Germany 's solidarity with our

allies and a contribution to the rchcl
of the allied partners who are maintaining freedom of shi pping in the
gulf region , which also is in West
Germany 's interest ," a Defense
Ministry statement said.
West Germany obtained 11 .5 percent of its crude oil from gulf countries in the fi rst eight months of this
year, according to the Economics
Ministry. Some of that oil left the
region through pipelines , however,
rather than on tankers.
The 4,700-ton destroyer Mocldcrs, the 3,800-ton frigate Nicdersachscn and the 3,480-ton suppl y ship
Freiburg will be in the Mediterranean
under NATO 's command from Oct.
14 until mid-December with the possibility the tour could be extended ,
the Defense Ministry said.
West German ships have visited
the Mediterranean previously for
training exercises and diplomatic
visits, but they never before had been
given responsibility for helping
NATO to defend those waters.
short of what Washington would
like.

U.S. officials said earlier this week
th at they hoped that Bonn would take
the additional steps of sending ships
to the gulf on diplomatic or "showthc-fiag " visits, helping to pay the
costs of European allies who had
dispatched warships to the gulf, and
making public statements supporting
U.S. policy in the region.
But West Germany was unlikely to
take any other steps in the near future
to help back its allies' gulf presence,
according to two government
sources and a Western diplomat.
The European allies that have sent
shi ps to the gulf arc Britain , France,
Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands.
West Germany was reluctant to
make a high-profile gesture of support for the Americans in the gulf in
part because of concern that it might
alienate Iran , Western diplomats
said.
Of all die major European allies,
West Germany has maintained the
best relations with Iran because of
Bonn 's desire to obtain Tehran's
help in freeing a West German businessman held by pro-Iranian.

junkyard of Devair Ferreira, a scrapmetal dealer. Not knowing what they
had , the three removed a cylinder and
broke it open.
The glowing "stone" inside, a
compressed material that disintegrate deasily into powder, was cesium 137, a potentially lethal radioactive material.
Ferreira sold the machine's lead
casing and kept the cesium around
his house for several days.
It was handled by curious family
members, neighbors and friends ,
some of whom rubbed it over themselves. None realized the harm that
was being done them.
Thirty-four people ended up in the
hospital. The most seriously burned ,
including Ferreira and his daughter,
Leide, are at the Naval Hospital here
in Rio de Janeiro
^
Leide has internal burns, reportedly from radioactive dust swallowed with bread that she ate after
playing with the cesium. She and
others have burns and blisters on
their skin, and some have lost their
hair.
' Leide, her father and another victim are listed in "very grave" con
dition. Doctors say the three are not
expected to live more than a month or
two.
Rex Nazareth, president of the National Nuclear Energy Commission,

said the cesium accident was unique.
"It was the biggest accidental contamination with that product in the
world," he said.
Federal police have begun an investigation to determine whether
criminal negligence was involved.
Dr. Orlando Alves Teixeira , partowner of theradiology clinic , said the
machine was left in the abandoned
building because a court order
against the clinic's previous owner
barred the removal of the equipment.
The Nuclear Energy Commission,
responsible for regulating radiation
therapy equipment, said the clinic 's
owners never reported the problem.
"They could have informed us of
the problem , and we would have
explained to die court the danger of
that kind of decision ," said Luis Arrieta , executive director of the
commission. "But they did not even
inform us of the deactivation of the
machine."
The accident has raised concerns
about safety procedures in Brazil' s
nuclear energy program. President
Jose Sarney announced in early September that the government has mastered a technology for enriching uranium f or use in reactors and medical
therapy.
Congressman Fabto Feldman
commented: "A country that a month
ago announced its domination of ura-

nium enrichment has shown that it is
not even prepared to deal with hospital equipment using nuclear energy."

doctoral program at IUP in September
1985. Her thesis dealt with the effetiveness of microcomputer-assisted

Six-year-old Leide Ferreira, severly burned by radioactive material
from 'an abandoned cancer therapy
machine, is not expected to live. She
is one of 34 victims of a radiation
accident that Brazilian authorities
say was the worst of its kind anywhere.
Brazil has requested the help of
foreign specialists to help treat the
victims and participate in clean-up
efforts. Experts have begun arriving
from West Germany, the Soviet
Union, the United States and other
countries.
The accident, which has caused a
furor in Brazil over nuclear safety,
was the result of ignorance and negligence, according to official and
unofficial accounts.
It began last month in the dusty
inland city of Goiania, about 600 mi
les northwest of Rio de Janeiro. Scavengers removed a heavy, lead-lined
machine from the former clinic of the
Goiano Radiotherapy Institute.
The machine, used for treating
cancer with controlled doses of radiation, had been left behind when
the institute was moved to a new
building.

Answering a criticism
by Don Chomiak
Editor-in-Chief
In six weeks-, my term as editor of
this newspaper will end and in another
th ree weeks, I will graduate from this
institution and take another avenue in
my education and life.
Over the past two semesters and 40
some odd issues of The Voice , my
goal has been to provide an honest
view of issues and events occurring
around us. This effort has often resulted in 36 hour days, weekends that
seem to blur into one continuous
moment , and the frustration of sometimes believing that it has made little
or no difference. In all honesty, the
position I hold often leaves much lo be
desired.
Yet the single criticism that enrages
me beyond any other is that my motives arc lo attack Bloomsburg, or to
put the university in a bad li ght.
I know my motives. They arc based
on a love of truth and a need to express

honcstopmion in the hopes ol encouraging a positive change or growth.
My relationship with this university
began long before I started here as a
freshman in the fall of 1983. As a high
school student , I took a few courses
here, the first during the summer of
1981.
To put it plainl y, I will truly miss
this university, its students , staff and
faculty, and even the administration
with which I have publicl y disagreed.
The list of positive attributes
crowning this university is long. Its
curriculum , cultural events and activities, athletics , and beautiful campus
arc but a few generalizations depicting the immense number of things that
arc good about Bloomsburg University.
The problems it has are those faced
by universities across the country.

Okay. They say college nurtures the
future. This is my fourth year in college and as 1 look about (
Bloomsburg) I sec, not the future , but
a stagnation of intellect. Isn 't college
supposed lo be the place where wc
cultivate our thoug hts and thirst for
education?

"where is Sudan?" Granted , I am not
exactl y the scholar-type cither but at
least I am able to confidentl y state that
Sudan is on the continent of Africa...

What is nurtured?

Is this the place which shapes our
thinking so that wc benefit humanity
by striving for Utop ia rather than creating differences? I often wonder how
a person can do this given the atmosphere of Bloomsburg and the circumstances surrounding it.
It seems to mc that many students
here do not use their log ic or rationale.
Sometimes I wonder whether it is
education that they come for or perhaps they come just to experience
college. For examp le, while conversing with a fellow college student the
other day I mentioned Sudan , upon
finishing my sentence he replied:

I lost my train of thought as I wondered what it mig ht be like to have no
sense of geograp h y and in essence to
have no awareness of oneself.
This type of student is not atypical.
He is one of many whose books arc set
aside as he parties out his frustrations.
The intoxication , which decreases
the number brain cells , hel ps him to fit
in and belong.
So perhaps when sobriety takes its
course he may remember the test in
Accounting or the quiz in Sociolog y
he should be studying for. Or maybe
just out of curiosity he may want to
pick up a book to find out where
Sudan is.
No. Gosh , no. Life is short , college
is an experience , and this is the lime to
Iivc-it-up.
Okay. So what do colleges today

Sal is innocent

To the Editor:
I knew Sal (Salvatorc Salamonc)
when the charges were officially
brought against him and for over one
year prior to that lime.
He knew from the very start he was
innocent. Sal felt the American judicial system would run its course and
clear his name.
He had told me stories of how he
came here from his homeland and
how he had learned the English language. To him , everything came naturally. Sal is an intelli gent man. His
start in the pizza business was definitely family oriented , but tfiat 's it.
Sal is and always was on the up and
up.
Sal was never involved with anything illegal to the best of my knowledge, and I felt I knew him well. When
he saw his name in die papers , it did
not worry him. He was in America.
Everything would turn out right in the
end , he thoug ht.
As an American , I was awed at the
fact that he got the maximum sentence
of 20 years for a drummed up charge.

SlWPpsjgT

Then , if Ural wasn t bad enough , he
had to go throug h two years of court
trials in New York City with over
thirty other defendants.
Granted , they arc not native Americans or have citizenshi p, but where
docs one draw the line on ri ghts ? His
case , in particular , was brought up on
remote occasions. Meanwhile , he sits
in jail wondering wh y he ever came to
this country.
To tell you the truth , Sal orig inall y
loved Uiis land. He liked the fact that
anyone could make honest money
conducting a well run business.
Thai 's the American dream from our
constitutional forefather 's point of
view and from diat of my own grandparents.
Please Your Honor, do not be prejudice, or let the whims of the local
public influence your jurisprudence.
The media has been unfair , very unfair.
In all your wisdom , please acknowledge Sal's innocence and disre gard whoever is try ing to save face in

TI* REWH»U£KY

When quantity and quality collide

by George Will
Editorial Columnist
If historian Barbara Tuchman is
right about a rising tide of incompetence that is a symptom of national
decadence, she should take heart from
the example of David Nosigia , sausage maker.
In a recent essay, Tuchman decried
"a deteriorating ethic in many
spheres." Here focus is government the sending to the Persian Gulf of the
frigate USS Stark , poorly officered
and unsuitcd to its mission , and the
Iran shambles in which government
operatives plunged into strange nations "with no more serious thought
than tourists off a cruise shi p."
Her examples of incompetence arc
fair , if obvious. But they arise from
the plague of small incompetences
from which the big ones rise - products poorl y made and carelessl y repaired , restaurant meals sloppily
served , services indifferentl y rendered all around us. A social climate
of tolerance (or incompetence breeds
big botches by government.
Don 't blame David Nosiglia. He is
a 27-ycar-old who , from a nondescript building at 15 Coventry St.,
Boston , manufactures sausages and
other dclcctables. Nine years ago,
with the single-mindcdncss that is the
fadicr of excellence , he decided he
wanted to make the best sausages - the
freshest , finest , healthiest - in America. He does.
His three-year journey to craftsmanship took him to apprenticeshi p to
a master butcher in Germany, where
he worked 14-hour days, and halfdays on Saturdays , and on Sundays he
went to the factory to sec how certain
salamis are made. His travels took
him to Switzerland and France and
Milwaukee , and to Louisiana to learn
Cajun cooking.
At 17, he had decided that he, unlike
his siblings , was a "hands-on " fellow
who did not want to go to college. He

did something that many young
people now slogging without enthusiasm through college should do: He
chose a craft , rather than the credentials chase. He now has a wife who,
dressed as he is in jeans and a sweat
shirt and leaning casually on a menacing-looking grinder , clearly has a
heart for any fate. He and she and his
father , with just three helpers, are
making sausages (and smoked turkey ,
cheeses, trout, and other things) in
smaller quantities and much higher
quality dian is necessary.
But both the small quantity and
hi gh quality are necessary to the
Nosig lias. The quantity is a function
of their insistence on quality , and the
insistence itself is their vocation. A
cynic has said that when people are
free to do as they please, they usually
arc pleased to imitate each other. Not
the Nosiglias.
David Nosiglia spurns the categorical imperative of capitalism - maximum expansion. Not for him everexpanding production , more outlets,
franchises . He will remain a micromanufacturer because, as he says with

the arresting eloquence of the sevcrl y
plain-spoken , "I will always have to
be in a sausage kitchen." And no
matter to whom he mi ght delegate
authority , "They're never going to
take the same interest as I do."
He quickly learned the futility of
try ing to sell to large supermarkets.
The supermarkets' buyers all came
quickly to the (to them) crucial question: "What 's your price?" Nosiglia 's
prices are higher than those of the
industry 's giants. But a discerning
minority of customers who care about
high quality will seek out those who
provide it.
(One regular customer is after a
particular qual ity. The customer is the
mother who appears every Friday to
purchase the strongly seasoned garlic
sausages. She serves them to her
daughter for supper on weekend date
nights. The daughter has not yet
caught on to the mother's motives.)
A realist has said that although truth
is scarce, the supply always seems to
exceed demand. The same could be
said about quality . But not in Boston ,
where Sam Adamsbeer sells for much

more than Budweiser , but sells
briskl y. It is produced here by one of
the new "micro-breweries." They are
another sign that individualism is
alive and well, both on the supply side
and the demand side. Boston , the
cradle of American liberty, may now
be the incubator of a movement demanding quality.
Today bookstore shelves groan
beneath the weight of tomes telling us
how to beat the Japanese at their own
game, which used to be our game:
quality manufacturing. Mo'st of the
books stress managerial skills. Such
skills are necessary, but are not substitutes for the pride that makes a man
like Nosiglia pleased to stand in
sneakers in a workplace that is small
but all his. He is of geopolitical significance: An infection of competence can even affect government.
It has been said the the phrase "dull
as ditchwater" is silly because a drop
of ditchwater, seen through a microscope, teems with life. America's
population is like that. There are never
enough Nosiglias , but we are never

You can't believe everything you
hear.
I once knew a person who insisted
that all modern music was "evil"
because it had the same rhythmic
patterns as ancient Druid music. This
concept is absurd if you stop to think
about it.
First off , while the Druids certainl y
had a lot of ceremonial music, they
never wrote any of it down. By their
own laws, everything had to be passed
from generation to generation by
word of mouth. According to Roman
historians , the Druids had no written
literature.

thor felt this fulfilled some prophecy
from the book of Revelation.
After I finished laughing I checked
my personal library of military hardware references. No cardboard , but
the Soviets had started using the same
laminated steel-ceramic Chobham
compound that the British and Americans had been using for years. How
did the comic author get cardboard
mixed up with a steel-ceramic compound? I don 't know , but my contacts
at Army Intelligence were rolling on
the floor with that one.
I noticed a lot of other things of
dubious nature in these religious
comics, but I'll reserve my opinions
concerning inter-denomination
squabblings over trivial theological
points fora future column. The important thing was that this so-called authoritative publication contained a
number of remarks that were obviously untrue.
I am not knocking religious documents. I myself am a religious person,
heavily involved in a local church ,
and believe firmly in the scriptures. I
am , however, pointing out that there is

a big difference between authoritative
documents based on the word of God
and questionable pamphlets written
by some clown sitting alone in a dark
office, trying very hard to support his
own religious beliefs at any expense.
This sort of thing is by no means
limited to the religious world. Publication of a political or financial nature
with suspicious validity are easily
found. Social commentaries based
entirely on opinion rather than openminded research abound. (Take my
column , for instance.) The worst part
is that most of these doubtful documents don 't even have cartoons as a
redeeming factor.
Today 's moral: pay close attention to what you read and hear and
examine each source for its authenticity. It is very easy to take a piece
of information that seems to verify
our opinions and cling to it, regardless of truth . Simon and Garfunkel
put it very well in the song The
Boxer.
"A man hears what he wants to
hear.
And disregards the rest."

f

without them.

S orting out the truth

Julius Caesar initiated a program to
kill off the Druids , Claudius continued the plan , and later Roman leaders
completed the task. Upon occassion a
group will rise from the mists of obscurity claiming to be descendants of
the Druids , but these are small cults
made up of local discontents. Their
tics with the wide-spread culture of
early England and France are more
wishful thinking than anything else.
Second is the problem with comparing ancient tribal music to modern
forms. Suppose, for a moment, the
Druids had written out their music and
successfully passed it down through
the ages. How can that have any connection with modern music? The
tunes of today have a mind-boggling
array of rhythmic patterns, no single
grouping of which can be considered
dominant or primary. It 's hard enough
to compare one style of contemporary
music with another, let alone with
some tribal chanting from two
millenia ago.
I pointed these things out to the
fellow , but he was adamant. He had
gotten his information from a comic
book published by a religious organization. It was approved by "the
church", so it had to be true.
I'd seen a few of these types of
comic books before. My general
impression was that their accuracy
rivaled that of those scandal sheets
sold next to grocery store counters.
One of these inspirational cartoon
classics declared that the Soviets were
now building their tanks out of a cardboard compound. Apparently the au-

Bloomsburg University has not
renewed the one-year contract of
Wallace Woodard, a counselor the
university hired last year, although
officials knew he had left a former job
in the wake of allegations of sexual
misconduct.
"He has not worked here since May
20. The contract was just not renewed," said BU spkoeswoman Sheryl Bryson, who declined to elaborate.
She said she did not know if Woodard , 47, Bloomsburg, had tried to
continue working for BU.
Woodard' s Florida attorney, Pam
Cooper, said Woodard had tried to
remain at the university in some capacity.
In September 1986, Wooodard
came to BU on a one-year contract as
a psychological counselor to work

to that, there wasn 't any discussion
about him staying on."
Asked about Woodard last year, in
light of the Florida allegations, BU
officials staunchly deendedhis hiring.
However, two days after a Nov. 8
news story about Woodard 's Florida
problems, BU officials reassigned
Woodard from counseling to new
duties, vaguely defined, that did not
include direct contacts with students.
Bryson said then that the university
had faith in the ability of Woodard's
ability, but publicity onterfered with
his ability to effectively counsel students.
In April, Bryson gave a more detailed description of Woodard 's
$34,904 job, saying he supervised
psychological counselors, did research , helped test students, worked
with disadvantaged students and
worked on committees.
She said he finished all his research
and committee duties before his contract expired.
Attorney Cooper said she does not
know Woodard' s plans.
His case in Florida will be settled
when he signs an agreement in which
he admits no guilt but accepts sanctions by the Florida Department of
Professional Regulation.
DPR attorney William Furlow said
he is "becoming concerned" that
Woodard has not yet signed the agreement, which was approved by the
board of examiners more than three
months ago.
He said if he does not get a signed
agreement soon he will call for a "fullblown hearing" during which allegations by the four former FSU students
would be aired.
Attorney Cooper said Woodard
plans to sign the agreement.
Furlow said the agreement puts
"quite a burden"on Woodard to prove
he is competent to be licensed to counsel in private practice in Florida , if
Woodard chooses to try to.
Furlow said the information about
Woodard' s license suspension will be
shared through a computer setup with
all states that license professionals.
Woodard , who has consistently
refused to speak to reporters, did not
return a recent phone call after a message was left on an answering machine at his home.

About the time it all started, Gannett News Service reporter Ann
Devroy asked to interview President
Reagan and got an odd reply from the
White House.
Devroy 's employer, Gannett, also
wanted the president to attend the
party launching its new newspaper,
USA Today. Gannett could have one
or the other, the White House said;
Reagan could either grant the interview or drop by the party, but not
both. Devroy's bosses at Gannett
took the party. That choice says much
about USA Today, Gannett's ferociously promoted, brightly colored
national newspaper, which recently
celebrated its fifth birthday with a
series of nationwide parties and a
promotional tour disguised as a
cross-country reporting trip by company chairman Allen H. Neuharth.
America's first new daily designed for national distribution , USA
Today has been variously credited
with making newspapers more relevant to the TV generation, devastating Gannett's 89 other papers, improving sports sections nationwide
and pandering to the most trivial
appetites in American culture. Be-

yond such hyperbole are three questions whose answers may exert a
powerful influence on American
newspapers and their readers: Has
USA Today really had a revolutionary influence on the American media? Are Gannett's claims that the
paper is now a financial success fully
believable? How has the grand experiment affected America's largest
newspaper chain?
On the first question - USA
Today's impact on other papers Gannett chairman Neuharth is characteristically expansive: "Newspa-

pers generally across the U.S.A. in
the last five years have changed more
in appearance and content than in any
previous time period like that. I believe USA Today has been some of
the cause." Carl Stepps, a former national editor at USA Today and now
a Universi ty of Maryland professor,
is more cautious: "I can think of nothing that USA Today inven ted. What
I think USA Today really did was
lake a lot of things that were on the
edge of happening, bundle them together and then sort of dare everyone
else to do them."

R.E.M. play s consistently innovative music
M.

by Dave Carton
Staff Writer
When I review an album , I like to
review it before anybody else. This is
not because I like to say, "Aha! I
reviewed that album before 'Rolling
Stone,' 'Spin ,' or B-Side magazines.
I'm way ahead of them , etc." Rather,
it is because I'm afraid that I'll unknowingly use another writer's opinion to shape my own view of how an
album sounds. While many writers
would (and probably do) make this a
habit , I prefer to let people jud ge my
op inions for their own merit.
Unfortunate ly, almost every music
magazine has reviewed the new
album from R.E.M. (not counting
"Tiger Beat," "Star Hits ," and similar
joke-rags that arc too'busy squealing
about "The Jackson Creatu re"). And ,
admittedl y, I have read a few of these
write-ups , but I'll try not to let these
invade my personal mode of thinkin g.

Alumnus teaches course

Fourteen years ago , one of
Bloomsburg University 's graduates
left college to pursue a career in reporting at the former Morning Press.
This past summer , that same alumnus
relumed lo I he classroom as an in.stuctorof the 'Introduction to Journalism '
classes.
Is James Sachetti unsure about
which career path to follow? Quite the
contrary. Sachetti has linked his
newspaper experience to die classroom. He believes that professionals
should allow college students lo benefit from their experience by having
pro fessionals enter the classroom and
teach the mater ial.
A native of West Ma/.lcton , Sachetti
gives us a fine example of how difficult it is to be a full-time newspaper
and part-time instructor. After spending two and a half years as a reporter
for the Mornin g Press, Sachetti left to
work on an Allentown papcrcallcd the
Evening Chronicle. In December of
1°78 . he returned to the Morning
Press as manag ing 'editor. Since Jul y
of last year , Sachetti lias been cditoroi
the Press Enterprise . Sachetti is
spokesman for the paper; he listens to
readers complaints , criti ques the paper , and write s editorials. His schedule varies each day, but for the most
part , he works from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
On Monday, he teaches at BU from 6
lo 9 p.m.
As a student , what was it that influenced Sachetli ' s decision lo become
involved in the Maroon and Gold , the
campus newspaper at the time? Could
it have been that his future wife held a

position on the paper? Could it have
been that Sachetti commuted his fi rst
semester and wanted to become more
involved with campus lifc?*Whatevcr
the cause , he enjoyed writing for the
paper much more than attending some
of his classes. This could be the reason
Sachetti forfeited spending eight
hours in a classroom to spending eight
hours in the newsroom.
This summer Sachclti 's 'Introduction to Journalism ' students served as
"guinea pi gs." Of the eig ht students he
taug ht , two were public relations
majors , one was an elementary education major , four students were undeclared and one hoped to write critiques
for movies someday.
Two students admitted to being
afraid of arguing with Sachetti about
various articles he brought lo class.
However , one student continuously
"chimed in every lime she disagreed
with something," so before long, class
discussions arc frequent.
Each student would hand in a small
article each day. Sachetti put the papers on an overhead in order lo review
them. Three of Ihe students commented that they felt they worked
harder on their papers because their
peers would review them.
In the beginning it might have
seemed like it was going to be a long
six weeks , but on the day of the final ,
the rapport was such that some of the
students jokingl y told Sachetti the
grade they fell they deserved. One girl
slated , "I never thoug ht the instuctorsludcnt relationship would work out
as well as it did. Writing our own
articles taug ht us a lot more than wc
would have learned using the book. "

their new album ,Document , on I.R.S.
records. "WhticDocument isR.E.M.'s
fifth album to date , they also released

WBUQ-FM arc of The Pressure
Boys, Killing Joke , the llousemartins
and other little known or emerg ing
groups. The Bloomsburg University
FM station plays progressive rock ,
which they define as almost anything
except Top 40 hits. The station 's
unusual format and its student staff
distinguish it from odicr area stations.
Its audience tunes in to hear something different than the Top 40 music
thai dominates radio. WBUQ plays
music before it becomes well known
and after it fades from popularity, as
well as artists seldom heard on other
stations. The music is constantly
chang ing, according to Music Director RaqucI Alvcrado. Right now , Echo
and the Bunnymen , R.E.M., The
Smiths and The Cure are frequently
heard. Y'/ie Smiths and The Dead Milkmen are standard s, but such exceptions arc rare.
Popular requests arc "Love My
Way " by the Psychedelic Furs , "Hot ,
Hot, Hot" by The Cure and R .E.M. ' s
"The One I Love."
Classic rock, heavy metal and a
reggae show are among die station 's
alternative programs. Home football
games, Bloom News and syndicated
shows like "Rock Over London ,"
"Radio Sweden" and "Dr. Dcmento"

are also carried by WBUQ.
It 's on the air from 12 p.m. to2 a.m.
dail y. Thirty-one DJs usuall y do a two
hour weekl y show. Steve Piascik enjoys his Thursday afternoon stint as
"Smokin ' Steve." "It grows on you ,"
he said. "It's a relief. You don 't worry
about what 's due or what you have to
read. "
Like all DJs at theFM station , Piascik worked at the WBSC-AM first.
The AM station can only be received
on campus and is a training ground
for FM. WBUQ is broadcast over a
25-milc radius and DJs arc required to
have a FCC license.
Before die addition of the FM station ,"If youdidn 'llive on campus you
were kind of discnfranchized , said
Dr. William Acicrno , faculty advisor
to WBUQ. The station has many listeners outside the college community.
Piascik has received requests from
Berwick , Mifflinville and other surrounding towns. Severa l thousan d
people listen daily, according to Dr.
Acicrno.
Campus organizations can reach
the audience through the station 's
'Community Notebook'. Upcoming
events are announced every hour.
This service is free, but Ted Hodg ins ,
WB UQ 's general manager , says few
organizations take advantage of it.
WBUQ' s biggest service is to mass
communications students. "Students

have a chance to get experience with
radio , whether as a career or a hobby.
It 's an important part of the Mass
Communications program ," Dr. Acicrno said.
Working with the station has made

RaqucI Alvcrado decide to go into
Mass Communications. WBUQ is an
excellent opportunity to learn, she
says. "We are really lucky. The equipment is top notch . I'm really proud to
be a part of it."

From September to May, thousands
attend classes at Bloomsburg University. Climbing hills and stairways and
weaving through crowded halls can be
a struggle for the most hard y among
us; forstudents whose physical limitations require them to rel y on wheelchairs or walkers, it is a special and
sometimes frustrating challenge.
Of the nine instructional buildings
on campus, four - Navy, Old Science,
Ben Franklin and Haas - arc nearly
inaccessible to these students because
there are no ramps or elevators to the
upper floors. The steep slope on which
the campus is situated compounds the
difficulty .

in and out of the buildings in his
wheelchair, because he prizes his
independence.
Since coming to Bloomsburg in
1984, Weaver says few improvemenis
have been made.
"They 've cut down a few curbs ," he
says, but adds that the doors in
McCormick , the newest building on
campus, "are so heavy that there's no
way I can open them and get my
wheelchair through."
Weaver has complained about
snow-covered sidewalks every year.
"I called maintenance and thcrewas
no improvement; last winter I called
Dr. Ausprich , and the walks were
clear the next day," he says.
Getting to classes has been less of a
problem for Joe Johnson , a freshman
computer science major. Having all of
his classes in Bakeless has made it
simpler.
Joe propels his motorized wheelchair by blowing into a tube andhas an
aide to open doors for him and to
maneuver his chair in tight spots.
"Getting through narrow doorways
is a nroblem. I hit the sides with mv

chair , he says.
Marilyn Schramm , a part-time art
student , was disappointed to learn that
a painting class she needed was being
taught on the third floor of Old Science. She cannot manage the steps
with her walker and hopes lo take the
course next spring in anotiier building.
"Handicapped people have proven
their ability to adjust to their handicaps and be independent. " But ,
Scramm says the ph ysical obstacles in
a building like Old Science are impossile to overcome. Scramm is pleased ,
however, with the cooperation of university officials. Security has said that
she can park anywhere if the handicapped spaces arc filled .
Peter B. Walters , head of accomodative services, says the university is
in the process of developing "a better
response to the needs of students who
are physicall y challenged by the university environment. " He estimates
that there are fewer than 25 students
with special needs enrolled here.
Since there is no priority registration
on camous. students find themselves

scheduled for classes in buildings not
easily accessible to them.
Ironicall y, Walter 's office is on the
third floor of Ben Franklin . He says
students call him and he meets them at
a more convenient place to discuss
their problems.
Rochester believes that improvements are on the way. He spent a full
day last spring with George Mitchell,
the university 's affirmative action
officer, discussing what can be done
to improve specific areas on campus.
Rochester's suggestions included
wider, li ghter doors, power doors and
rcstrooms that are more easily accessible to those in wheelchairs. The
other students expressed similar
ideas.

Ted Hodgins sits at a control panel at YVIJUQ, the university 's FM radio station.

Students have difficulties travelling on campus

Attempts by the university to improve access and scheduling procedures are welcome by the students.
Schramm says that any physical improvements will benefit everyone on
campus. Weaver agrees and adds, "If
I speak up and changes are made, it
will be easier for the students who

As far as bands go, the ones that last

never been an average band , though.
With any luck , they 'll have financial

Suddenly, a hush fell over the

Gertrude and Claudius are shown here performing in Hamlet , produced by the Bloomsburg Players.

Hamlet 9 is credit to campus theater

by Thomas Haflett
for The Voice
On October 7, 8, 9, and 10, the
Bloomsburg University Players successfully presented Hamlet , a Shakespearean masterpiece.
The acting, scenery, costumes and
lighting enveloped the audience and
actuall y created an aura of professionalism rarel y seen in university
theater. But , let us keep in mind ,
nothing is perfect and there were
some noticeable problems.

young Morgan condescend to their
acting level at times.
Such was the case with Ophelia and
Hamlet 's mother , Queen Gertrude.
Ophelia , who is supposed to be
Hamlet 's love, seemed to be somewhat incompatible with the Hamlet
that Morgan portrayed. Ophelia was
fli ghty and lacking seriousness ,
where as Hamlet was witty and sharp.
Gertrude , played by Michclc
Myers, sobbed ridiculousl y through
the entire play, and during one of the
most dramatic scenes where Hamlet
see's the ghost of his father , Mycr 's
incessant bawling practicall y makes
Hamlet 's words indeci pherable.
At times during the show , Morgan
makes O'Connell , the professional
actor who played Claudius , look like a
struggling amateur. Despite these
flaws the play should be viewed as a
big success for the BU Players.

Let's begin with the acting, enhanced greatly by Bloomsburg
University 's own Jeffrey Morgan
and professional actor Ian
O'Connell.
Morgan portrayed Hamlet, the
heart-broken and vengeful son of his
father, the late King Hamlet of Denmark.
His motivated and powerful acting
ability made us overlook the flaws of
The scenery, costume, and lighting
his co-workers, who seemed to make designs were done in very good taste.

John Wade, set designer for BU theatre, developed a simp le wooden
structure that actuall y made the play
more believable to the average Joe,
like myself , in the audience.
Wade used his lighting skills to
create the image of the ghost and
many other background effects that
contributed to the realism of the
play. Karen Anselm 's fantastic array of colorful costumes seemed to
bring Shakespeare's great work to a
realistic peak. Wade and Anselm
were competent contributors to the
workability and visual brillance of
this production.
The show, despite obvious flaws ,
was a wonderfu l portrayal of
Shakespeare's all-time classic,
Hamlet. I' m sure William
Shakespeare had something like
this in mind when he wrote the play.
He must have had Jeff Morgan in
mind for the lead , at least. Hat's off
to BU and Jeff Morgan!

'Fatal Attraction ' is intense thriller

by Mike Moyer
Staff Writer
In this day and age, we all know that
one night stands and having polygamous sex partners can be life threatening. Fatal Attraction may be the ulti mate warning against such practices.
Although AIDS is never mentioned in
the film , Glen Close's character, a
knife-wielding psycho, is a metaphor
for the disease.
Along with Close , Michael
Douglas and Anne Archer star in this
stylish, very entertaining psychological thriller . Here's the scenario:
Douglas finds himself alone for the
weekend, his wife and daughter gone
for a few days. He first spots Close at
a party and then again , surprisingly, at
a work meeting. They go out to dinner
and eventually end up back at her
place where they put new use to the
kitchen sink (other than doing the
dishes.)

They spend passionate nights and
fun-filled days together, and finall y
the weekend is over. It 's lime for him
to leave - after all he has a wife and
daughter lo go home to.
She knew the weekend couldn 't last
forever , but when Douglas tries to
leave the apartment , Close attempts
suicide.
This is just the beginning of the
ni ghtmare. Close refuses to break off
from him. She starts her relentless
attack by showing up at his office
every day, calling him at home constantly, and following him around
town on foot and in car. Douglas becomes a paranoid neuro tic: everywhere he turns , she's there.
Things become increasingly more
violent when she kidnaps his
daughter , and makes him a very unap petizing bowl of rabbit soup. (You
don 't want to know.) Close final ly
confronts die family memebers in

Choral groups to perfo rm in
annual Homecoming Concert

The Bloomsburg University Concert Choir, the Husky Singers and the
Women's Choral Ensemble will perform at the annual Homecoming Pops
Concertat2:30p.m., Sunday , October
25 in Mitrani Hall at Haas Center for
the Arts and is open to the public free
of charge.
The Concert Choir, directed by
William Decker, will perform pop
tunes including "Through the Eyes of
Love," "All of Me," and "New York,

The Husky Singers, also directed
by Decker, will perform pieces by
artists such as Frank Sinatra , Christopher Cross, and the Beaties. Under the
direction of Wendy Miller , the

"My Dead Kennedy's album!"
someone would exclaim as he lifted a

remains of his room. "It's... it's...

Throughout the top layer of rubble

Timex watches, all in perfect condition.
Well, as it turns out in real life,
nothing eventful occurred. Apparently, the bomb-scare was another
hoax, and the next day was just like
any other day. People were just a bit
more tired in classes, and a bit more incoherent to their surroundings, but lo
those who were not victims of a threat
to their lives, it was just another day at
Bloomsburg University.

Women 's Choral Ensemble will sing
pieces such as "Dancing On the Ceiling," "Twist and Shout ," and "Somewhere Out There." In addition , there
will be solo acts done by members of
the three groups.
The Pops Concert will be the conclusion of events of the Homecoming
Weekend at Bloomsburg University.

their home.
Except for a disappointing ending
when the film becomes a scene
straight from a Friday tlie 13th movie,
Fatal Attraction is & winner. The 'acting is flawless. Close as the psychotically disturbed woman is completely
convincing.
Douglas is marvelous as her intended victim , and Anne Archer
shines as his wife. From it's opening
scene, the movie is a fast-paced ,
nerve-wrecking viewing experience.
Director Adrian Lynne has a perfect
musical score and his camera is a
revolving eye, capturing every horrifying detail.
Fatal Attraction is relevant for our
times. The film doesn 't confront the
issue of AIDS directly, however, the
warning is there - know your sex partner. He or she could have AIDS , or if
you 're lucky, just mild psychosis.

by Dave Ferris
Staff Writer
A group of musicians from the
Bloomsburg area have announced
that they have formed a band and are
preparing to record their first album .
The band is named "Khukri," after
the large ceremonial knife used by the
Gurkhas of Nepal. The group originall y intended to call Uiemselves
"Twisted User," as the musicians are
all computer enthusiasts. They
dropped this handle to avoid possible
lawsuits , however. Apparently another famous band has the word
"User" in its name.
Bicuspid (real name Desmond
Dull), the eccentric keyboardist, got
his nickname when he showed up at
the first rehearsals wearing a white
labcoat , giving him the appearance of
a dentist.
"I have all the talest in the group,"
he continues. "I have fifteen years of
musical training and I practice for
twelve hours a day. I'm also the only
member of Khukri who can read
Bicuspid denies allegations that he
is a prima donna. "Of course, the
songs I' ve written are the best in our
repertoire. I calculate that I will have
hit the Top 10 in 1.34 months. In 6.52
months , I should be able to purchase
Utah."

In stark contrast, the group s bass
player, Mad Dog Culligan, considers
himself the world's worst musician.
He performs a daily ritual of selfflagellation to atone for his musical
sins.
Drongo Reeb, the drummer, is the
third regular member of Khukri. Reeb
seems an odd choice for the band , with
only one week of musical experience.
When asked about how it feels to work
with two veterans, Drongo explains:
"Well, I think that the philosophical
implications of 'the contemporary
musical realm are foreshadowed only
by the ethical questions posed by the
transition between the acoustic instruments characterizing folk tradition
and the rise of biochemical engineering."
Khukri has subcontracted the position of vocalist out to Thrasher Congenial , a local anarchist and flower
arranger. "I hate society and think
everyone should be killed ," quips
Congenial .
The band's musical style varies
from high intensity* lightning-paced
electronic rock to Irish jigs. The
album , entitled "I'm So Bleedin '
Lonely I Could Rip Me Own Head
Off," begins with a typical Khukri
rocker called "Na Na Na Na Etc."
"You make me sweep and mop the
floors/you don 't do any chores/I' m

washin ' rinsin', stackin' the dishes.
The next cut is another social statement. Bicuspid says, "The song follows the model of the Peter Gabriel
and Kate Bush duet, 'Don't Give Up'.
I think it represents a more realistic
version of male-female relationships,
however. It's called 'Go Push Off.
Khukri will soon hit the local music
scene by storm. Where are the lads
going after this first album.?
"We're going for lunch after this
next tune," replies Mad Dog.
"I feel that our musical direction is
indicative of the growing sense of
self-awareness evident in contemporary society as it pertains to the instrumental experience," adds drummer
Reeb. "The proliferation of electronic
drums clearly demonstrates my
point."
"I hate you ," remarks Thrasher
Congenial.
"You mean they 've got electronic
drums now? Wow," counters Mad
Dog.
"I don 't care where we're going,
Bicuspid says. "I'm the only one here
with any talent."

gious and subservient. She loves Don
Jose and tells him that she will love no
other man.
Don Jose is in constant conflict with
his conscience. Eventually his emotions overcome him , swaying him to
make irrational decisions and a fatal
mistake in the end.

vain. She is filled with self-love.
She is a free spirit who is not in love
with any particular man, but she is in
love with love itself. Her carefree attitude leads to a desperate attempt by
Don Jose to reclaim her love, which
she now gives to Estamillio. The jealous Don Jose finds he is left with only
one alternative - to take Carmen's life.

Carmen 1 considered outstanding

by Pat Andrews and Chris Golden
Staff Writers
Set against the beautiful backdrop
of Spain , Italian director Francesco
Rosi produced his own exciting version of the world-renowned opera
Carmen.
Carmen consists of a turbulent love
triangle which consequently ends in
tragedy. This vibrant movie vividl y
portrays a tempestuous and fiery
gypsy encircled by the men who love
her.
The first character of the love triangle is Don Jose (Placido Domingo),
a soldier in the Spanish army who is
torn between his duty to his country
and his uncontrolled love for Carmen.
Furth ermore, Don Jose is expected
to marry Micaela, a woman who takes
care of his mother. Micaelais the
opposite of Carmen - quiet , shy, reli-

Estamillio , a brave and noble bullfighter is instantl y seduced by
Carmen 's teasing mannerisms. The
same demon that controls Don Jose's
soul also possesses Estamillio's. Unlike Don Jose, Estamillio takes a more
subtle approach to gain Carmen and
wins her affec tions. Estamillio is able
to divert Carmen 's love from Don
Jose, kindling a jealousy in Don Jose.
Carmen (Julia Migenes Johnson) is
the focal point of the love triangle.
Carmen is tempestuous, sultry, and

f BEST PICTURE

C ENTER

Unfortunately, few people saw the
film. Being a French opera with English subtitles, Carmen may paint the
picture of a dull and boring movie, but
quite the opposite is true.
Carmen was an exceptionally good
film. This is not saying all operas or
forei gn films are good, but not all
American films are worthwhile either.
Just as you can't judge a book by the
cover, you can't judge a film by the
title - or subtitles, for that matter.

With Don Baylor, the uniform
is the only thing that changes
by Scott Ostler
the Los Angeles Times
In this, his 16th season in the
major leagues, Don "Gr oove"
Baylor looks down at his uniform
shirt and sees that he is playing ball
for the Minnesota Twins.
He looks over at his manager and
the manager is nodding at him. He
is being summoned to pinch hil
with the bases loaded , one out,
score tied and a 22-ycar-losing
streak on the line. The Twins' last
postseason win came in the 1965
World Series.
Standing on first base is Gary
Gaelti, who has jus t walked. Gaetti
lo oks toward home plate as Baylor
digs into the box.
"He's only been here a month ,"
Gaetti will say later. "It's (Baylor 's
leadership) not something he
would offer yet. It 's something you
just notice. I'll tell you this _ when
I got to first base, I said , 'Son of a
bitch , he's in that situation again.' I
was glad to see it. The right guy at
the right time."
Baylor, age 38 and well-traveled, is the game's scoutmaster, the
guy who brings substance and leadershi p to your ballclub , the rock, the
guy who pushes, prods, encourages, advises and admonishes his
teammates.
Some baseball people don 't
think this kind of clubhouse activity is o f much importance. Others
think that it is as vital as plasma,
that a player like Baylor can change
the mood of a team , make a good
team better.
There was talk that he would be
traded from the Boston Red Sox to
the California Angels late in the
season , but the talk died when the
Angels got Bill Buckner instead .
So, the Twins hired Bay lor's bat,
and his leadership, for whatever either might be worth to a young team
in a stretch drive.
Since coming to the Twins to
serve as a platooned designated
hitter, Baylor has stayed in the
background, mostly watching and
observing. But in recentdays, as the
playoffs neared, he has become
more active, seeking out certain
players, planting suggestions and
trying to impart a little calming and
inspiring advice to guys who have
never been in the playoffs.
The team lost its last five regularseason games and Baylor wanted to
make sure everyone was approaching these playoffs with a positive
attitude.
"Certain guys came to me," Baylor says. "Others, I went to them. (
I told them) what to expect in a
league championship series. 'Just
be yourself.' "
When Twin center fielder Kirby
Puckett threw to the wrong base in
the eighth inning Wednesday
night, he came back to the dugout
himself.
angrily
berating
"Hey," Baylor reportedly told
Puckett, "That's all right. Forget a
bout it. You still get to bat."
Not exactly wisdom from a
Himalayan mountain peak. Baylor
doesn't con sider himself a young
Confucious , but he believes that
sometimes a teammate needs a
soothing word, a quick message of
a sensitive psyche.
Three batters before Baylor,
Puckett doubles home a run . Now,
Puckett is standing on third base,
watching Baylor dig in against reliever Willie Hernandez.
Now, the talking is over, Baylor
is no longer the scoutmaster. Last y
ear, about this time, Baylor was
with the Red Sox, and he helped
kiss the Angels out of the playoffs
with a ninth-inning, two-run homer
off Mike Witt. One out later, Witt
was gone and the Angels were on
their way out.
Now, it's a different team and a
different town for Baylor. The
Minne sota fans are waving their
Homer Hankies like 53,000 maniacs. Their team is a big underdog in
this series and this is a very big
game. The local newspaper ran a
34-page playoff supplement this
morning, with no less than 36 stories and enough stats to fill a phone
book.
The same newspaper distributed
the Homer Hankies the 53,000 fans
are wavi.
Bay lor has a streak going, hav-

ing had at least one hit in his last 10
league playoff games, for the Red
Sox last season and for the Angels
in 1982.
He likes to talk, he likes to lead ,
the likes to help in the clubhous c,
but he also likes to hit the baseball.
The two managers arc playing
chess now. Baylor figures his at-bat
will come, but he 's surprised he
¦
gets the call this soon.
"I guess I was doomed to hit ," he
will say later.
Speaking of doomed , Hernandez
throws two balls , then two strikes.
Bay lor swings at the 2-2 pitc h and
drives it on a line into left field ,
scoring Puckett for the go-ahead
run and keeping the bases loaded.
Tom Brunansk y follows with a
two-run double. The Twins win to
take a 1-0 series lead that feels like
100-0.

"How much responsibility for
team leadership do you take on
your own shoulders?" a reporter
asks Baylor in a postgame press
conference.
Repeating the question for the
masses, a league public relations
woma n asks Baylor, "How much
of the responsibility do you take on
your old shoulders?"
Baylor laughs.
"I've been thinking about it (what
his contribution would be)," he
says. "It's going to come one at-bat
at a time, in crucial situations. "
And maybe with a well-placed
word here or there. He'll try to keep
th e boys pumped up and calmed
down. Then, when the playoffs or
World Series are over, he'll take his
bat and his old shoulders to another
team in another city.

by Ke vin Rough
for The Voice
The Central Columbia/Sclinsgrovc
game looked as if it was over when the
Seals took a quick 21-0 lead on the
Blue Jays. Then they folded and onl y
an ineligible receiver downficld kept

28-21.

offensive plays gain over ten yards.
The Seals scored two touchdowns in
the first quarter and the score was 140 Selinsgrove.

The Seals then opened the second
quarter with another score, this one
coming form the Blue Jay s' 14 yard
line. The extra point was good and
Selinsgrove led , 21-0. Then the Seals
lost all control of the game.
Selinsgrove kicked off after their
second quarter touchdown and Central started the posession fro their own
33 yard line. Ei ght plays and 67 yards
later Central put the ball in the end
zone. The kick was good and Central
was back in the game at 21-7. The
score would remain unchanged until

On Friday night the Bloomsburg
Panthers went to Milton to play the
black Panthers whose overall record
going into the game was 5-0.
The game was thought by many to
be disasterous for Bloomsburg, but
the Panthers ' tenacious defense
wouldn 't allow that to happen and
held undefeated Milton to only one
touchdown , unfortunately the winning touchdown , as Bloom lost to the
Black Panthers, 7-0.
Milton 's running back, Scott Biddinger, was the only person to score.
He ran ten yards straight through the
middle of the Bloomsburg defense for
his touchdown in the second quarter
with 9:06 left in the firs t half.
Bloomsburg, with a week layoff ,
returned to their running game after

going airborne in iheir previous game
with Lewisburg.
Milton 's defense was just as aggressive as Bloomsburg 's in that they
were able to sneak through the offensive line to quarterback Jamie Gutshall and record five sacks for losses
totaling 51 yards.
Gutshall , the Panthers' leading
rusher, scrambled for 54 yards on 15
carries. He also made a key defensive
play midway through the second
quarter. He stopped Milton 's leading
rusher, George Goodwin on the 45yard line after he had broken through
the defense for a 51 yard run and
seemed to be going all the way.
Biddenger's run provided all the
scoring for the game and it ended in a
7-0 victory for the Black Panthers.
The loss drops Boomsburg to 2-3
overall and 1-2 in the conference.

Undefeated Milton
downs Bloom. 7-0

Central opened the second half by
kicking off to the Seals who would
start from their own 32 yard line. On
the first play from scrimmage, a Blue
Jay defender intercepted a stray Seals'
pass and Central went to work on
offense deep in Seals' territory, the 36
yard line.
It was seven plays later that
Central's Greg Dill scored the second
Blue Jay touchdown to put ihe score at
21-14, Selinsgrove.
The fourth quarter saw a 14 play
drive by the Seals stall at the Central
19 yard line. On fourth down they
attempted a field goal but it was no
good and Central had another chance
to score.
Two plays after taking over posession , Central's Matt Win hauled in a
66 yard pass to put the Blue Jays in
threatening position again on the Seal
10 yard line. Four plays later, Central
scored their third touchdown and tied
the game at 21-21.
Selinsgrove took the kickoff and
wasted no time. It took them only five
plays to score their fourth touchdown
and go ahead 28-21 with 3:03 left to
play in the game.
With time running out on them ,
Central tried their last chance, when
on fourth down and 18, they threw
deep and scored what seemed to be the
tying touchdown. But the score was
called back becauseof an ineligible
receiver downfield. The remaining 52
seconds saw only two more plays and
Central fell to Selinsgrove 28-21.
With the loss, Central's hopes of
repeating as league champions may
have gone down the drain.

Bloomsburg soccer wins
ugly over Kutztown? 2-1
by Ruskin Mark
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University soccer
team rebounded from a mid-week loss
at Bucknell by carving out a workmanlike 2-1 victory against Kutztown
on Friday. This was an ugly win , but
the team did what was necessary to
secu re the victory.
On paper, Kutzlown 's team was no
real match for the Huskies, but for the
first fifteen minutes they completely
outclassed their more favored hosts.
The sluggish start by the Huskies
could have been due to the absence of
some key players. Co-captain Jack
Milligan and central defender Alfred
Mckenzie were late because of exams. Star midfielder Jerry Crick was
sitting for disci plinary reasons.
Afler a while, all th ree were inserted into the game but the standard
of play increased onl y marginally. At
the half the score was 0-0, and the
Huskies must have felt happy not to be
trailing, given their unfortunate run of
luck in the previous games.
Despite their indifferent perform ance in the first half , the Huskies out-

numbered their opponents eight to
four in shots at goal and three to two in
corner kicks.
The second half was very much the
same as the first, as the Huskies lacked
that commitment and effort that was
so evident in previous games. Then at
Ihe fifteen minute mark of the second
half, Kutztown scored first to add
insult to an already deflated team. Rob
Burkett 's goal seemed like the tonic
the Huskies needed to get them
started.
Evidently it did , as there was a
marked increase in the team 's urgency and intensity. The forwards
were being provided balls in more
advanced positions and their skill on
the ball started paying immediate
dividends.
The defense started linking up better with the midfield and forwards,
and it was off one of these linkages
that the equalizer came. The Caribbean connection hooked up beautifull y as McKenzie, the defender ,
slipped a through ball to Crick, the
midfielder , who calmly slotted the
ball into the back of the net.
This combonation inspird another
yet another duo to team up as Council

Rock s Jack Milligan and Kurt
Schmid worked together for the second and eventual game winning goal .
Milli gan , only a sophomore, exibiled a deft a deft piece of skill as he
flicked the ball over the feet of the
would be tackier , and after composing
himself , nudded a square ball across
the goal mouth where Schmid calmly

nudged it in. In the process, Schmid
was scoring his third goal in as many
games.
Despilc some anxious moments at
the end , the Huskies held on for the 21 victory, pushing their record to 5-6
overall. On Thursday the Huskies
visit York and are optimistic of doing
well.

The Bloomsburg University women 's tennis team , previously undefeated in conference play, fell to the ladies of Shippensburg b y a match
score of 7-2.
Despite the score, Coach "Doc" Hebert said that there were a few
bright spots. Chris Labosky extended her record to 10-1 overall and
