Essex to instruct
broadcast classes

by S usan Fallows
Staff Writer
Former broadcast anchorman and
reporter, Gary Essex has joined the
Bloomsburg University Mass Communications Department as an instructor in broadcasting.
Essex, who had been at WYOU
television in Scranton prior to coming
to Bloomsburg, left broadcasting so
that he could spend more time with his
son.

Essex teaches a section of broadcast
journalism and is an executive producer of Bloom News, along with Dr.
Dana Ulloth.
Before anchoring at WYOU, Essex
worked at stations in Denver, and

Oklahoma City. In themid-1970's, he
was a newscaster on WNEP television.
Essex, who has a graduate degree in
divinity from Oberlin University in
Ohio, came to Bloomsburg as minister to the congregation at the Trinity
Reformed Church.
Department Chairperson John
Maittlen-Harris said that Essex applied to the university personnel office for a part-time position in broadcast journalism.
Unfortunately, at that time, there
were no positions available. It was not
until about two weeks before the start
of the fall semester that a position
opened up when Dr. Ulloth cut his
course load.

The computer-directed trading programs accused of exaggerating
swings in the stock market were temporarily shut down. Tuesday, as congressional regulators called for tighter
controls over Wall Street 's most exotic investment techniques.
The New York Stock Exchan ge
urged its members to stop using socalled "program trading " for the time
being, but denied it was try ing to kill
off the method that has enabled big
investors to systematically play the
market and make millions of dollars
with virtually no risk.
Program trading involves using
computers to assess market conditions and calculate guaranteed profi t
opportunities, and then using that information to buy or sell as man y as
500 stocks at once.
Because the technique requires
sophisticated computer sys tems and
hundreds of millions of dollars of
cash, it can be used only by the biggest
investment houses and money managers.
That has led to complaints that the
practice is unfair to small investors.
Congressional overseers of the financial markets Tuesday said that
Monday 's market crash was accelerated by program trading, which also is
known as portfolio insurance or index

arbitrage , named after the stock market index futures contracts that are
played against stock prices by program traders.
"Program trading was caught redhanded as the chief villain behind the
meteoric velocity of the decline," said
Rep. Edward Markey , D-Mass.,
chairman of one House subcommittee
that oversees the stock markets.
"Whatever happen s, program trading makes it worse," said Rep. Dan
Glickman , D-Kan., chairman of another panel responsible for regulating
markets.
Glickman said federal regulators
have failed to get a handle on computerized trading because three congressional committees and two rival federal agencies share regulatory responsibility. "The Federal Reserve, the
Securities and Exchange Commission , the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission and the banks should sit
down and talk about how they can best
prevent " a repeat of Monday 's
plunge , he said.
Markey called a subcommittee
hearing for this morning to consider a
possible ban on program trading,
saying, "I think we have to ask the
fundamental question (of) whether
these mechanisms serve any purpose."
Program trading was virtually
halted Tuesday bv a series of moves

by the three markets on which most of
the trading takes place: the New York
Stock Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago
Board Options Exchange.
The NYSE urged its members early
in the day "to refrain from using the
NYSE Order Delivery System for
purposes of executing index arbitrage." Because the Order Delivery
System was set up specifically to
handle the huge baskets of stocks
bought and sold through program
trading, the request effectively shut
the programmed market down. "This
request is effective until further notice," the exchange said.
The CME and CBOT temporarily
closed down trading in the stock index
futures and options that are needed to
make program trading work, further
hobbling the practice. The Chicago
markets blamed technical factors for
the temporary shutdowns, but when
trading reopened about an hour later,
there was virtually no program trading, Dow Jones New Service reported.
Program trading is a recent stock
market phenomenon made possible
by two inventions: powerful computers that can analyze stock prices instantaneously and new investment
vehicles created to mirror broad
trends in the overall stock market.
The new investment device crucial

Bomb threats were made at a residence hall and BU Law Enforcement last weekend, adding to the list of threats made on campus
since the beginning of the semester. The first call was received on Saturday at 2:29 a.m. A voice stated, "It's a bomb." Nothing more
was'said. The residents of the building were evacuated to the Kehr Union while law enforcement officers searched the building. Sunday,
Schuylkill and Montour Halls were evacuated after a call received at law enforcemen t threatcd that "bombs are gonna go off" in the

tWO halls.

to program trading is stock index futures contracts, which are meant to
allow baskets' of stocks to be traded
like commodities such as wheat or
com, for delivery some time in the
future at a price determined now.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange
created z.futures contract a few years
ago based on the Standard & Poors
500-stock index , one of the most
popular indicators of broad stock
market trends. The S&P 500 contract
covers 100 shares of each of the 500
stocks in the index, to be delivered
from a month to a year or more from
now.
Speculators who believe the stock
market is going up can buy S&P 500
futures contracts at the current market
price, making a small down payment
known as a margin deposit. If the
stock market does go up, the contract
can be sold at a profit; if not, the buyer
losses money.
Soon after stock index futures were
invented , traders discovered that the
prices of the futures contracts did not
always reflect the total price of the
500 stocks. Now and then during the
day's trading activities in New York
and Chicago, small differences would
show up between the two prices.

Tonight 's Alcohol Awareness
Week activities, which were printed
incorrectly in Monday's issue of The

Reagan may consider a tax increase to ease deficit

by Lou Cannon and Tom Kenworthy
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Yielding to heavy pressure from
financial markets, Congress and advisers, President Reagan Tuesday
opened the door to an economic summit with Congress and the possibility
of tax increases to deal with the federal budget deficit. .
Reagan said he was directing aides
to begin talks with congressional
leaders and was "willing to be a participant" if necessary to reach a
budget agreement. The president,
who up to now has refused to consider

even the possibility of a tax increase,
said he was "willing to look at whatever proposal" the congressional
leaders might make.
But senior officials cast doubt on
whether Reagan would walk through
the doors he had opened. Meeting
with reporters less than a half-hour
after Reagan's statement, White
House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater
said that the president "does not envision" the necessity of personal participation in a summit or a tax increase.
Reagan made his statement Tuesday after an emergency meeting with

senior advisers that was triggered by
Monday's stock market collapse.
He met for 40 minutes in the living
quarters of his White House residence
with Treasury Secretary James A.
Baker III, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan, White
House chief of staff Howard H. Baker
Jr., deputy chief of staff Kenneth M.
Duberstein and Beryl W. Sprinkel , the
outgoing chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisers.
An official familiar with the discussions said that "Reagan was hesitant
at first but realized that something

must be done."
The president's announcement was
greeted with relief by leaders of both
parties, who had spent much of the
day issuing a nearly united appeal to
the presiden t to respond to the financial crisis by negotiating a solution to
the prolonged budget impasse.
"I welcome the opportunity to do
this," said Senate Majority Leader
Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va. "I welcome
tliis change of attitude on the part of
the president and I hope we see the
same kind of open-mindedness as we
go forward."

Senate Minority Leader Robert J.
Dole, R-Kan., who earlier in the day
had called for a demonstration of
"leadership" by the president, said the
time had come for a "new compact
with Congress" to address the federal
deficit.
Dole called for an early meeting
between congressional leaders and
the president "to reassure investors
that we are going to deal with this
problem." He predicted that such a
summit might of necessity force some
players "to look at their positions," an
apparent reference to Reagan's will-

ingness to at least look at a compromise package that includes higher
taxes.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, whose
panel has approved a tax increase bill
that Reagan had earlier denounced,
called for a "cooperative effort where
the president and the leadership of
Congress have to address this problem and make the hard choices."
Administration sources said that
Reagan was persuaded by pressure
from Republican leaders and economic advisers that it was necessary
for him to demonstrate leadership.

Congress out of line

by Paul Mellon
Staff Columnist
Once again tensions in the Persian
Gulf have boiled over as the U.S.
flexed its milita ry muscle on the Iranians. Last weekend Iran fired a Chinese made Silkworm missile that
slammed into the crew quarters of the
Sea Isle City, an oil-tanker which has
been leflagged and under U.S. Navy
escort.
Ki ghiccn peop le on board were injured as well the American captain ,
who was blinded. Thoug h the attack
came while the shi p was in Kuwaiti
national water , thus not under American protection , it quickl y became
obvious that the U.S. would have to
respond.
() n Sunday, Ronald Reagan said he
had made Iran. When asked b y reporters what he
had in mind , the. President Hashed a
smile and said , "It 's a surprise. "
Moiula;, morning the Iranians received a little surprise. Four U.S.
warshi ps fired 1 ,000 , live-inch artillery munils on an abandoned oil platform that the Iranians had been using
IO conduct small boat attacks on tankers and to monitor convoy movements
with radar. The strike was swift and
effective. No U.S. warship suffere d
anv casualties.
While Congressional leaders had
been consulted in advance of the attack , it is almost certain that Congress
will demand even louder for the President 10 invoke the War Powers Act.

The President is coming closer and
closer to a showdown with Congress
over the 1973 War Powers Act si gned
into law over President Nixon 's veto.
The major thrust of the law is that the
President must consult Congress
when deploy ing U.S. troops into areas
of "imminent hostilities" which stand
to draw U.S. forces into military action. The catch is that if Congress
objects to the deployment , it then has
the power to force, the President to
withdraw U.S. forces in a prc-delrimcntal time table of 60 to 90 days.
This part of the law would in effect
create 535 Commanders-in-Chief
and wouls! almost assuredly throw our
foreign policy into complete disarray.
The Act has not been invoked directl y
by any President since Nixon and the
current Administration has held that
the part of the Act allowing Congress
to forcibl y withdraw U.S. fo rces is
unconstitutional.
The fact still remains that the War
Powers Act is still the law until it is
challenged in Court. In li ght of treatment the Senate has dealt out to Judge
Bork perhaps the Administration
should take this opportunity for some
pay back.
Congress has been attempting to

use War Powers as a means to bully its
way into the realm of foreign policy
and usurp the delegated authority of
the executive branch. Since it appears
the Senate is going to'bc successful in
warping the confirmation process,
now is a ripe time for Reagan to bring
Congress back down to earth and
deflate that swollen ego. The War
Powers Act should be challenged in
the Supreme Court on its constitutionality . It has never been challenged in
court , and the case for itsprovision on
forced withdrawal of troops does
appear weak.
Presidents since Thomas Jefferson
have been deploying U.S. troops into
areas of "imminent hostility." As
pointed out by President Reagan ,
American troops have been deployed
over 200 times, while Congress has
declared war onl y six limes.
One of the most important features
of having a chief executive is the ability to achieve coordinated , centralized
decision-making in violatilc areas
that demand prudent consistency. It is
precisely this advantage of the Presidency that War Powers threatens to
destroy. Reagan should siezc the initiative on this issue and take Congress
to the floor with it.

This is my personal op inion of
Bloomsburg University and its purpose. This docs not however reflect
my personal op inion of the entire
hi gher education system throug hout
the country . Rep lies to this essay are
not welcome.
Set deep in the Pocono Mountains
lies a place of hope and promise. Yet ,
at the same time , it is a place of despair
and insanity. It lies in the small picturesque town of Bloomsburg, Pa.
Bloomsburg University was a joint
venturcof the state of Pennsy lvania
and the devil. Their objective is to lure
jx )or hi gh school seniors away from
the real work! and into their pseudocollege.
The ultimate goal is to keep the
suckers , 1 mean students , here for
four , five , even six years. This is
where the devil makes a killing. Most
students want to graduate so bad they
will sell their soul just to graduate.

(No wonder the devil is getting ahead
these days , he has B.U. graduates
working for him.) It is all a rather
symbiotic relationshi p between the
slate and Satin. The state supplies the
souls and Lucifer provides the degrees. (How do you think some of
these professors got their PHDs?
Think about it.)
Caught between it all arc die students who realize they made a big
mistake.
Parents arc of no help since they
have been fooled by the scenery into
thinking that anything this beautifu l
can 't be harmful . (Sounds like what I
said :abb'u'f the. girl next door.)
Anyway, how do I know so much
about this 'degree for soul' deal? I just
turned down a masters in computer
science for my soul. Now I am going
to do what anyone who defies the
devil would do. Transfer to another
school !

Wh y is it that to inform and protect

Bloomsburg will not?
Dr. Jerrold Grifli s says, "At this
point in time the decision has been

made that we will not give out condoms. " Wh y? What are the reasons?
The article does not list any reasons or
any clue as to what Bloomsburg 's
AIDS policy is. It also states the decision was alread y made , yet it still rests
with Grifli s ' office , who claims "it
will be an institution-wide decision. "

Hard boiled to soft cooke d
by George Will
Editorial Columnist
The burly man with the bushy
moustache sips his Samuel Adams
beer in the Ritz-Carlton bar near
Newbury Street, a shopper's paradise,
and says to his wife, "Joan , there is
somewhere in the middle of the Arabian peninsula you would like to shop.
You would like to shop in Iran."
Toug h guy, right? Wrong. Robert
B. Parker , author of 16 novels featuring the private eye Spenser, is, I regret
to report, a gentleman. That may
explain why Spenser is becoming an
annoy ing paragon , The Eighties
Spenser
is
Man. "
becom ing.. .sensitive.
Time was when the fictional privat
eye was an unreconstructed primitive,
not a reproach. He smoked like a
chimney, his onl y exercise (aside
fro m punching people) was bending
his elbow , he was decidedl y pre-Miranda in his construction of criminals '
ri ghts , he read nothing but racetrack
tout sheets and ate in greasy spoons.
He represented the anarchic impulse
that we who wear civilization 's bridle
can express only by identifying with a
fictional private eye.

Now he is being taken from us. The
melancholy decline of the detective
into good character, Eighties-style,
was sealed in 1985, in the 12th
Spenser novel when Spenser used the
R-word. He said to his lover, Susan
Silverman , "I'd be pleased to spend
the rest of my life working on this
relationship."
That is the voice of the new ideal,
the Vulnerable Man. Can you imagine
the word 'relationship' issuing from
the lips from which Bogart 's cigarette
drooped?
In a nifty essay in Harper 's, Charles

Nicol notes that today 's fictional detectives are becoming domesticated ,
as the essay 's droll title suggests:
"The Hard-Boilcd Go to Brunch. "
The hard-boiled arc becoming good
eggs, have "gone from Mean Street to
Easy Street and moved in with Ozzie
and Harriet," wherc 'they are practicing connoisseurship and aerobics.
The closing of the frontier in the
1890s drove the cowboy to town ,
where he became a detective. Nowadays in town , Spenser dines in yupped-up restaurants thick with hanging
plan ts that remind him of Rousseau 's
paintings. Spenser does occasional ly
drink too many margaritas, but then
he goes jogging, lifting weights, docs
gourmet cooking and soaks up poetry
like a sponge who has earned a Ph.D in
English lit. Parker did that , writing a
dissertation on "The Violent Hero,
Wilderness Heritage and Urban Reality ," a study of some fictional detectives.
Nicol recalls D. H. Lawrence 's
judgement that James Fcnimore
Cooper 's frontiersman , Leatherstocking, was "a saint with a gun...an
isolate, almost selfless , stoic , enduring man...the very intrinsic-most
American." Later, Leathcrstocking,
private eye, opened a walk-up office
in the inner city . And today his gumshoes are Nikes that cushion the concrete.
Parker 's novels, which will gross
about S5 million for Dell this year, are
used in some schools for delinquent
children to get the rascals to read.
Young readers get a satisf ying
amount of toughness (especially from
Spenser 's black sidekick, Hawk Sanr.ho Panza with a black belt) with
some poetry insinuated.
"Halk and I stood still. No one got
out of the car. 'The only sound's the

sweep of easy wind and downy flake. '
Hawk unsnapped his Red Sox
jacket... "
"Death is the mother of beauty,"
Spenser remarks when Susan says
that life 's hazardousness makes
things more precious. Spenser descends steps "with wand'ring steps
and slow." When he j okes with Susan
about being too tough to get sunburned , she murmers, "I'd smite the
sun if it offended me." He tells a friend
that the noblest love exists "onl y
when love and need are one and the
work is play for mortal stakes." Recovering from a reverie, he says,
"Human voices wake us and we
drown." When Susan suggests he
propose marriage, he says, "Songs
unheard are sweeter far. " When feel ing amorous, he says to Susan:
"Complacencies of the peignoir and
late coffee and oranges in a sunny
chair , and the green freedom of a
cockatoo upon a rug." She, ever sassy,
says: "I never heard it called that. "

think it all evens out; we must remember we 're all humans and do need each
other.
Jenny Thrasher talks of chasing
men around the campus and memorizing their schedules. She gives many
tips on how to do this properly. Ladies
watch yourselves; what you are learning to do is to tease with precision.
Yes, Jennifer runs around the campus
looking, following, probably winking, but never getting too close . She is

a tease, a girl who flirts and then locks
the door at night.
My advice to you is to talk to men
and if you are attracted to them , physically and mentall y, go for it.
Girls you must be assertive - this is
almost the 1990s. Oh , by the way, my
new attitude towards women won 't
last long. So, kick Jenny Thrasher out
of your lives and be your nice selves.
I know you got it in you.
Luke Attacker

Tough guys of yesteryear were not
g iven to speaking with the tongues of
(in the paragraph above) Robert Frost,
Wallace
Stevens ,
Milton ,
Shakespeare, Frost again , Eliot,
Keats, Stevens again. (Parker says the
passages are sometimes not quite
accurate because Spenser calls them
up from memory.)
Joan , like Susan, is an employee of
the Massachusetts department of
education , and has what may be an
Eighties Woman 's unconcern about
the fact that millions of readers think
Susan 's sex life is hers. Parker growls,
"I' ve toned it down for publication ."
Now that 's hardboiled , right? No,
he still has a soft yolk as he and Joan
walk into the misty autumn evening
up Newbury Street holding hands.

Jennifer Thrasher out of line

To the Editor:.
I came here to Bloomsburg University sporting a new attitude on the
opposite sex. All through high school,
I had no problem "getting" girls and
therefore never had second thoughts
about throwing away a couple here
and there. By the end of my senior
year, there were virtually none left.
They were all either thrown or scared
away. I had relationships but not one
was really serious. I always hated the
petty games of jealousy in high
school.
So now I'm in college and have decided to turn over a new leaf to avoid
the discontent I experienced earlier in
life. During the last couple of months,
I have been practicing the virtues of
sincerity, kindness, and honesty toward women. These new ideas have
backfired in my face. Girls, or shall
we say "women," have now begun
taking advantage of the situation.
They take my kindness and sincerity
for granted by ignoring and snapping
at me whenever snapping at me whenever they deem necessary. They don 't
return calls if time is just a bit short.
And, of course, they have all sorts of
excuses (lies) f°r these mishaps.
To top all of this off, Ms. Jenny
Thrasher comes into the picture, talking of the B.U. male population 's
nonchalant attitude toward women,
our supreme knowledge of the automobile, and the basic superiority of
women over men.
First of all I know how to start a car
and pump gas, but that is the extent of
my mechanic education. Secondly,
women are superior to men in some
areas, but men are better in others. I

It's not every day that a product
made by a federal agency wins kudos
from Fortune magazine as one of the
best new products of the year. Or
exceeds its sales projections by 23
percent.
When it does, that calls for a celebration , which is just what the U. S.
Mint did this week to mark the firstannivcrsary of its best-selling American

In their first year, the gold coins
have captured 65 percent of the U .S.

"I couldn 't be more pleased," said
Mint Director Donna Pope, who presided over a cider and cupcake (festooned with simulated gold coins)
reception at her agency 's headquarters.
Sales of the gold coins, the first the
nation has issued in 53 years, have far
exceeded any projections the agency
made, Pope said. Sales have topped
SI.5 billion , placing approximately

Republican state legislator from Ohio
who has headed the Mint since 1981.
During that time the Mint, at the
urging of Congress, has sharply boosted its sales of coins to collectors and
investors, two distinct markets that
the Mint has tapped with a $10 million-a-year advertising campaign.
The gold coins were the product of
what Pope describes as a "strange
coalition" of members of the Congressional Black Caucus, upset with
South Africa , supporters of a return to
the gold standard and representatives
of the gold-mining states.
The result has been '"an American
success story," the Mint proclaime d
in a videotape presentation. It said the
new coins have helped set off a boom
in the American gold mines, as well as
create a commodity that has sold
slightly better overseas than in the
United States.
It hasn 't hurt that some of the
agency's advertising has gone to fore
ign sales, Pope said, displaying a
photo of a Hong Kong tram painted
with the gold coins. That was a pitch ,
not for the foreign investor, she said,
but the average worker in the British
colony who likes to place his gold
"under the mattress."
The gold coins come in four
weights and face values: a S50 coin

Iran fumes over U.S. retaliatory attack
Oc t. 18.

by Charles Wallace

L.A.Times-Washington Post Service

Iran charged Tuesday that the United States had cau sed S500 million worth
of damage during the attack on its offshore oil platforms and threatened to
retaliate in the next few days.
"God willing, we will carry out our duty in the coming days and make them
sorry," the Speaker of Iran 's Parliament , Hashemi Rafsanjani , said in a speech
broadcast by Tehran radio.
* Rafsanjani , who is Iran 's chief spokesman on the war, joined a growing
chorus of Iranian public figures who demanded revenge for the American
attack Monday, despite the hope expressed in Washington that the attacks
would not escalate.
"It is not a threat nor an attempt at intimidation when we say we will respond
to intimidation ," Rafsanjani said.
The country 's oil minister, Gholamreza Aqazadch , told reporters in Tehran
that the two oil platforms in the Persian Gulf that were attacked by the United
States Monday were still burning out of control 24 hours later.
Gulf shipping executives said commercial traffic in the waterway appeared
normal. U.S. military sources said three of the destroyers, brought into-thc gulf
for the attack , had sailed back out through ihe narrow Strait of Hormuz to rejoin their battle groups in the Arabian Sea.
Aqazadch said two crewmen on the oil rigs were seriously injured in the
attack and added that a preliminary estimate of the damage was S500 million.
He vowed that Iran would file a complaint with international bodies against the
attack.
In Washington , Pentagon spokesman Fred Hoffman denied that any Iranians
had been injured . The Pentagon said Monday that the platform crews had been
given 20 to 30 minutes to abandon the platforms before die attack began.
The United States said it was retaliating for an Iranian missile attack last

week against a U.S.-registered Kuwaiti tanker near Kuwait s main oil terminal. The missile attack blinded the American captain of the Sea Isle City and
wounded 17 other members of the crew.
Four U.S. Navy destroyers pounded the two sections of one oil platform
with 1,000 five-inch shells, finishing off the job of destruction with demolition
teams. Later, Navy commandos boarded a nearby platform that had been
abandoned by its Iranian crew and blew up radar and communications
equi pmen t they found there, according to the Pentagon.
Aqazadch denied that the platforms had been used as military command
posts to launch gunboat attacks against merchant shipping as Secretary of
Defense Caspar W. Weinberger had asserted. He said the only weapons
installed on the platforms were machine guns. Reaction to the American strike,
the third clash with Iran in less than a month , was muted among Arab states in
the gulf.
"Maybe it won 't end the Gulf War, but it could help avoid a real disaster,"
said Bahrain 's Minister of Information , Tariq al-Moyyad. "I don 't think it
looks like an escalation.
A government spokesman in Kuwait expressed approval of the U.S. move,
describing it as only a limited military response."Kuwait and the international
community have warned Iran of the outcome of its aggressive practices in the
Gulf ," the spokesman said. "The limited military step came as an answer to
Iran 's continuation of these practices."
The English-language newspaper Kuwait Times, whose content is carefully
controlled by the government, said that the U.S. raid "only looks like a beni gn
reprisal."
Editorials in government-guided newspapers in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and
the United Arab Emirates reflected clear support for the U.S. action but the
governments themselves remained silent.-

A disabled Air Force Corsair jet
clipped the roof of a bank and
slammed into a crowded hotel near the
international airport here Tuesday
after the pilot failed to make an emergency landing and ejected safel y from
the plane.
Authorities said that nine people on
the ground were killed as the front of
the hotel , a seven-story Ramada Inn ,
erupted in a fireball. Six other persons
were reported injured - one critically
with severe burns over most of his
body.
Investigators continued to sift
throug h the charred and twisted wreck
age of the hotel late Tuesday looking
for bodies, but by nightfall officials
said they did not believe they would
find any further casualties. The hotel
had registered 103 overnight guests
and housed another 20 employees and
an additional 40 to 50 persons attending conferen ces at the time of the
impact.
Air Force technician s were conducting the investigation into the
crash rather than investigators from
the National Transportation Safety
Board , which probes accidents involving civilian craft.
The Air Force identified the pilot ,
the sole occupant of the aging, s ingle
engine A-7 Corsair jet, as Maj. Bruce
Teagarden , 35, of Mount Morris , Pa.
He is stationed at Las Vegas' Nellis
Air Force base. A military spokesman
said that Teagarden was testing the
aircraft's on board electronic systems
on a flight from Pittsburgh to Nellis
when the engine "flamed out" 15
miles south of Indianapolis at an altitude of 31,000 feet. The cause of the
power failure had not been determined , the spokesman said.

Essex hangs up microphone for family life and the church
by Jerry Gum
for The Voice
"For John , Paul , Debbie and the
rest of the team at News 22 , have a
good ni ght and sunshine tomorrow." These were familiar words to
many people, in northeast and
central Pennsy lvania as Gary Essex
signcd-off from die 11 p.m.
newscast. He has now , however ,
decided to hang up his microphone
and take to the pulpit and the
classroom.
The Rev. Gary Essex Sprunger
can be found speaking at the
Trinity Reform United Church of
Christ in Bloomsburg and in
classrooms at Bloomsburg
University. After more than 20
years in the television business ,
Essex decided thai it was time to
call it quits and spend more time
with his son and the church.
"Being in television and having
siraimc workine hours , 1 only not

to sec my son for about 45 minutes a
day and on weekends," Essex says.
"And to me that wasn 't enough. I
felt 1 needed to spend more time
with him , and he needed his father. "
Essex has been a minister since
1°66 but did not preach while living
in Scranton. "I felt I needed to get
back to the church. I couldn 't fight it
anymore ; something was telling me
I had to go back ," says Essex.
Aside from his religious duties,
Essex teaches Broadcast Journalism
(Bloo m News) at BU , along with
Dr. Dana Ulloth . Essex enjoys
teaching and is very impressed with
the students at BU. "The students
I' ve worked with here arc very
eager and interested in learning how
to do tilings for themselves."
Essex has worked in a number of
cities including New York , Denver
and Oklahoma City. His preference ,
however , has always been northeastern Pennsy lvania. "It 's a great place

to live. You re close enough to the
cities (New York , Philadel phia) to
enjoy mem without having to deal
with the hassles and the high cost of
living. "
Essex also enjoys living in
Bloomsburg , and believes environmental consciousness is one of the
town 's biggest assets. "Bloomsburg
has stability, not only in the environment and agriculture but also in
its architecture." Essex says,
"People here live in harmony with
their environment. They respect it ,
and I like that attitude. "
A fter being off the air for about a
month , Essex believes he is finally
living a normal life. "The life of a
newscaster involves being apart
from reality and society, " Essex
says.
Now as a contributing member
among our faculty, Essex enjoys
being an enthusiastic part of the
B.U. team.

The Brandos have been announced
as the opening act for the upcoming
INXS show at Nelson Fieldhouse,
Oct. 27. Their debut album , Honor
Among Thie ves, was recentl y released
by Relativity Records. Since then
they have been touring extensivel y to
make their mark on todays music
scene.
The Brandos recentl y returned
from a short (18 date) German tour
tliis summer during which they played
cities such as Bonn , Hamburg,
Dusscldorf and Cologne. While there
they were proclaimed by the European press to be "the Credence of the

80s."
But , the Brandos prefer to think
they play straight ahead Rock and
Roll.
Not happy writing sugar-coated
songs formulated to make the AM
radio playlist , the content of their lyrics portray honest slices of life, the
subjects are not always pleasant —
wife battering, loneliness, killers on
the loose — but the reality of their
content demands attention. As David
Kincaid puts it , "We write thoughtful
songs. I've always written spookier
stuff that has a mind of its own..."
The Brandos are a uni que blend ol
East and West coast musical influences, both David Kincaid and Larry

Mason began their musical careers in
Seattle, Washington , working with a
band called The Allies. Meanwhile
Ed Rupprecht and Eamie Medillo
were making their rounds of the New
Jersey nightclub scene playing with a
band called Soul Attack.
Kincaid and Mason relocated to the
East coast as Soul Attack was searching for a lead-vocalist/guitarist. They
eventually got together and the lineup for The Brandos was set. The product of their collaboration, Honor
Among thieves, stands out as a powerful debut for a band poised to take the
country by storm. Don't miss your
chance to see the young and exciting
band.

achieved. That goal is to minimize
the effects of inflammation because
the greater the inflammatory effects,
the more time needed for an injury
to heal.
To minimize the inflammatory
process a method referred to as
"RICE" is applied. RICE stands for
Rest , Ice, Compression , Elevation.
This method can be applied up to 72
hours following the time of injury ,
depending upon the severity of the
injury.
Ice should be applied 20 minutes
on and 20 minutes off every waking
hour. It is important to take me ice
off and let the area warrn up again.
Ice should not be left on continuosly
for greater than 30 minutes, because
frost bite may result. Compresion
should be applied every waking
hour. Rest and elevation are
necessary whenever possible.
Ice is important when caring for
an injury. Some of the effects of ice
include decrease in blood How to
the area, decrease in temperature,
decrease in the formation of edema
(swelling) and anesthetic effects for

minutes and finally the area will feel
numb. After a few times, the pain
decreases and the numbing effect is
felt more quickl y.
Compression is usually applied
with an elastic ace wrap bandage,
and this will help decrease swelling
while giving support to the area.
Remember never keep an ace wrap
on while you sleep because it can
restrict blood flow.
Elevation of an injured extremity

helps to minimize swelling and also
facilitates the flow of blood back to
the heart.
It is important to keep the area
rested so that more damage will not
be inflicted , causing the whole inflammatory procerss would be enhanced rather tham suppressed. For
this reason, ice is more effective
initiall y than heat.
Other fitness questions are welcome! "

Should I use ice or heat on an
inj ury ? This is a common question
asked by people when they get
injured . Many think heal is the "cure
all" to any injury but on the contrary , ice should be applied initial! }'
after an injury.
Anytime trauma has been inflicted
on lire body there is tissue damage
which means blood is escaping into
the tissues. The body 's first response to injury is the signs of heat ,
swelling, redness, pain and possibl y
loss of function in the injured area.
This is known as the inflammatory
nrocess.
1he lnllammatory process begins
when chemical messengers arc
released into the bloodstream by the
damaged tissues. Blood vessels
dialate (open wider) in order to
allow more blood to How into the
area to begin repair on broken blood
vessels. The blood carries white and
red blood cells hel p to close off the
damaged blood vessels.
There are many theories on how
pain occurs. It can be caused by
damage to pain receptors, the
release of chemicals, or just from
the interference of the blood supp ly.
Upon any injury; whether a
sprain , strain , overuse, collision
type, or a cut on the surface of the
, there is a common
goal to be

Fa ll albums have more p romise

by Ken Kirsch
Staff Writer
Although we suffered through a
summer filled with commercial , junk ,
rock albums released by pansy-poser
bands (you all know which ones I
mean by now), this fall has been
marked by the return of the real rock
masters. Here's an overview of this
fall's releases by rock music's creme
de la creme.
1) Aerosmith — Permane nt
Vacation. Though it lacks some of the
punch of mid-seventies classics like
Rocks and Draw the Line, it has
enough highlights to draw in the
diehard crowd.
Highlights - "Dude" and an instrumental piece entitled "The Movie."
Steven Tyler is at his vocal best on this
one.
2) Mick Jagger — Primitive Cool.
This record is definitely an improvement on She 's the Boss. Even if it
were a bad record, it would still be
hard to say that Mick Jagger had sophomore slump.

Highli ghts — "Throwaway" and
"War Baby."
3) Fleetwood Mac — Tango in the
Night. Here's yet another credit to
Mick , Stevie, and the rest. It has the
perfect mix of listenable hits which
grace the radio waves, and classic
numbers reminiscen t of the Rumors
days.
Highlights — "Seven Wonders,"
and "Big Love."
Not even the best are perfect, and
with that in mind here are a couple to
steer clear of:
1) Yes - Big Generator. The Top40 hit "Love Will Find A Way" mars
this record much the same way
"Owner of a Lonely Heart" ruined
90125. I had to look twice at the cover
and make sure this wasn't an Asia
album.
2) Heart ~ Bad Animals. The days
of "Barracuda" and "Kick it Out" are
gone forever as th ese seventies hardrock honeys roll over and play dead cleavage side up, of course.
3) Whitesnake - Whitesnake. Two

former Deep Purple members gone
commercial. Vocalist Dave Coverdale does a convincing Robert Plant
voice-over on "Still of the Night ," a
scorching hot piece ala ' Led Zeppelin , and it is definitely the highlight of
the record . However, Top-40 ju nk
tunes like "Here I Go Again " detract
from what could have been one of the
best rock albums in recent years.
Today s' music world is a vicious
one, with more emphasis on image
than talent. Stalwarts like Aerosmith
and Fleetwood Mac who set the precedents and can still stay on top long
enough to see their effects are to be
respected. Those who fall victim to
the almighty 80s rock buck can onl y
bask in the fading limelight of past
accomplishments.
Look for new releases by Rush , and
The Boss, whose album is called Tunnel of Love . Rumor has it Bruce 's
record will be a complete departure
from Born in the USA , taking on a
mellow country slant, much like
1982's Nebraska .

video dances will be held in Kehr
Union.
A parade willbc held on Saturday at
10 a.m., beginning at Bloomsburg
High School and ending at Centennial
Gym. It consists of five high school
bands, the Maroon and Gold Band, the
floats from various organizations and
the sweetheart contestants . A huge
balloon release will set the stage when
the football team takes on Millersville
at 1:30.
Ha l f-time evenis include the
marching band, IFC-ISC awards,
winning floats, winners of residence
halls and office decorating contests,
and the crowning of the 1987 Homecoming Sweetheart.
Winding up the Homecoming activities on Sunday will be the Homecoming Pops Concert at 2;30 p,m , in
Haas Auditorium. The Husky Singers, Women's Choral Ensemble and
the Concert Choir will be performing
a variety of pops music.
Although Garrity oversees- the

preparations for the weekend, five
others have assisted her in the effort.
They arc Monica Hess, Spirit Week
coordinator; Kim LcFcvcr, parade
committee coordinator; Mindy
Vuong, sweetheart committee coordinator; Lynn Swctnam , pep rallyhalflimc coordinator; and Rafael
Canizarcs, publicity.
"I couldn 't have done it without
them ," said Garrity. This marks
Garrity*s third year of involvemen t
wi th Homecoming. Last year she
served as chairperson of the parade
committee.
"Michelle did a great job. She has
been working since Apri l and despite
a very busy schedule, she has devoted a lot of time to Homecoming,"
said Gilliland.

lenge, says Lewis Rich, a transportation consultant.
The uncertainty in blind dating
doesn 't appeal to everyone. Melissa
Keeley, a student at Bloomsburg, says
she would never recommend a blind
date. Keeley says, "Choose your dates
yourself so you 'll at least have an idea
of what the date will be like."
One bad blind date can also make
someone wary of blind dating. Karen

Ferster, a Montgomery Ward sales
clerk, says, "I wouldn 't recommend
blind dates because the one I went on
didn 't go smoothly. We didn 't have
anything in common which made me
nervous."
To blind date or not to blind date is
the question. In either case, as Patricia
Rich, a transportation consultant says,
"It's a safer way (of finding a date)
than picking one up in a bar.

Homecoming Weekend approaches

It was the spring of 1984. While
most Americans were enjoying their
clam bakes and picnics, one man was
involved in an offensive U.S. attack
on Grenada.
James Patrick Lcary was part of an
elite group known as the Rangers.
This 25-year-old Cape Cod native
.vas 22 when he participated in the
invasion.
The evening of the attack was unlike the routine "training runs." This
time, the Rangers received live ammunition and boarded three planes for
an unknown destination. Leary and
his unit knew nothing about the mission until they were about 25 minutes
away from the island. They were
given orders to "dismantle the [Grenadian] air strip and secure the warehouse"
After receiving their orders , Leary
recalled silence for approximately 20
minutes. He realized that within 30
minutes he would jump into a foreign
country on a government mission.
"[It] scared the hell out of me, for one,
in the sense that there wasn 't really
much time to prepare for it mentally.

I guess there were about ten million
things running through my
mind...was I going to getkilled or not?
Was I ready for it? I didn 't want to
die."
Leary was trained for this attack
since the day he enlisted,in the Army.
Yet, Leary questioned whether he was
mentally prepared for combat. "Even
with all the training...once we got in
there, everything we were taught went
out the window , and we had to rely on
our natural instincts."
The 750 Rangers, in the lead plane,
had no ground support because the
assisting planes were off course.
Leary, a small weapons expert, led 12
men into the warehouse which held
"about ten thousand arms — tanks,
anti-aircraft guns, morters, and rifles
— enough explosives to blow up half
the United States."
Within seven hours, the Rangers had
secured the warehouse and Learywas
on his way to Fort Bragg, NC. When
he returned , he received no fanfare or
parades. The mission was treated as
on ordinary training run. "When I got
back to Fort Bragg, I fel t like a different person. For some reason I left a big
part of me there."

The experience brought about many
changes in Leary. "I grew up faster in
seven hours then I did in probably ten
years. It makes you think about all the
things you have done, the things you
have not done and the things you want
to do. I was put in a situation where I
had maybe fifteen minutesof life—it
scared the hell out of me. I was 22 —
life was just starting. I didn 't want it
to end. I went from a kid one minute to
a man the next."
Leary said, "I wish they could have
briefed us a little. If they would have
told us a few hours before , we might
have been prepared.
He had entered the Army with
dreams of glory. Following the Grenada incident, he realized he did not
want to spend his life like this.
"When I went in, I had strong beliefs
about the government. I always
thought ;hat 200 years ago, people
died for us to do what we are doing
now. I believed that, and I wanted to
keep that up."
Leary now resides in Cape Cod, and
is a licensed instructor for the National Rifle Association. He plans to
attend Rochester Institute of Technology in January.

with natural fibers to disguise the
imposters). The exhibition also spotlights what many consider the
kitschiest designs ever to appear on
fabric, among them renditions of
Disney characters in such works of art
as "Blue Boy " and "Whistler's
Mother." The exhibit , which contains
"hundreds" of shirts, opens to the
public Friday and continues through
Dec. 31.
According to museum board member Jack Mingo, the collection of
^' unnatural fibers, unspeakable patterns" represents "the golden decade
of Dacron , roughl y 1969 to 1979." He
considers the exhibit "a closet chronicle of some of the best and worst
impulses of art and design ranging
from the merely tasteless to the eyegougingly garish."
Veteran observers of museum
openings will note that there is no
corporate sponsorship of "100 percent Polyester."

They (fiber, fabric or clothing
companies) aren 't going to sponsor
this because it's really tacky. We were
advised not to even ask," explains
Quendrith Johnson, museum program
director. Adds Mingo, 'The fact that
we aren't treating the subject with any
reverence whatsoever doesn't help."
Jeff Errick, a graphic artist who
owns the vast majority of the shirts in
the show and is known for his "good
taste in bad art," complains that the
shirts are getting harder to find because they 're not being made anymore.

Polvester has become art work

I..A. Times-Washington Post Service

Polyester — the "miracle" fabric
known for being absolutely unnatural ,
feeling clammy next to the skin , retaining odor, requiring no ironing and
even less taste from its wearers — will
be celebrated Monday night as San
Francisco 's .Museum of Modern
Mythology unveils for the press what
is believed to be the first-ever exhibit
of "historic " pol yester shirts.
The collection, "100 percent Polyester: Shirts of Art from the Palette of
Science," has attrac ted national media
attention far in advance of its official
benefi t opening Thursday evening.
The fund-raiser's appropriately lowrent admission price, S8 at the door, is
roughly the cost of a 100 percent polyester shirt in its heyday, say organizers.

Blind dates have pros and cons

by Christine R. Heim
for The Voice
Cathy slams the door as she returns
home from her blind date. She declares to the entire family and the dog
that she never wants to see that idiot
again, and that her father should be
shot for arranging the date with that
jerk, Walter somebody.
Unlike Cathy's initial blind date,
some blind dates can be pleasant. One
can even turn into a lifelong commitment. Other times the only thing
committed is a big mistake.
Besides being a good way to meet
people, the element of uncertainty
also attracts people toward blind
dates. "I'd be receptive toward a blind
date, because it could be a real chal-

"Most of them I found at thrift stores,"
says Errick, who with two friends

Ground gaining Gator is on the road to glory

by Robyn Norwood
Los Angeles Times
Take a lesson in understatement
from Galen Hall and Larry Kirksey,
the University of Floridacoaches who
before the season described the Gators' running back situation with caution.
"We enter fall practice with a close
battle between Octavius Gould and
Wayne Williams," said Hall, the head
coach. "There are others who could
get in the scrap and help us."
Said Kirksey, who coaches the
running backs: "It's possible that
some incoming players might also be
able to help us."
Could? Possible? Might? In the
third game of the season, Emmitt
Smith , an 18-year-old freshman who
left Escambia High School in
Pensacola as the third-leading rusher
in prep history, set a school record by
rushing for 224 yards in a 23-14 upset
of Alabama.
Seven games into
the season, his 144.4-yards per game
average ranks first in the nation, his
total of 1,011 yards not only is higher
than anyone's but makes him the first
freshman to have gained 1,000 yards
in so few games. The school records
he has set are too numerous to mention. It hasn't taken long for the comparisons to begin to a couple of former
Southeastern Conference running
backs _ Herschel Walker of Georgia
and Bo Jackson of Auburn, both of
whom won the you-know-what before they were done.

Give credit for realistic vision to
Gould, the former starter. A sophomore, he saw the writing on the depth
chart and has left the team.
At 18, Smith is an interesting combination of modest schoolboy and
big-time college athlete. Ask him if he
ever thinks about the possibility of
winning the Heisman Trophy, and he
says that he wants to win "two or
three.""Nothing wrong with wanting," he says.
Only Archie Griffin ever has won
two, winning consecutively at Ohio
State in 1974 and '75.
In the midst of all this talk, a few
people are keeping in mind that he is,
after all, a freshman , and not yet definitively the best back in the Southeastern Conference.
'To compare him to people like
Billy Sims and Joe Washington , you
can 't do that yet," said Hall, who
worked with both as an assistant at
Oklahoma. "The stats are there, but
great players are great through four
years of college and go on to the NFL.
Emmitt has played seven games."
Those who know Smith describe
him as an all-around good guy and
model citizen. When he spent the
week before high school graduation normally beach-party time - speaking to potential dropouts, his already
lofty hometown status soared even
higher.
Dwight Thomas, his hi gh school
coach, makes Smith sound like a personification of the Commandments.

"He says yes sir and no sir,sits in the difficult to figure out
frontrow in class, makes A 's and B's, His shuffling, rambling style is so

Owners not above rumors

by Bob Gates
Los Angeles Times
In National Football League history, it will be remembered as the
great strike-lockout of 1987.
It was a strike for more than two
weeks, when National Football
League games were played by nonunion teams.
Then it became a lockout during a
third weekend of games when the
NFL's owners again fielded makeshift teams after refusing to reinstate
their union players.
It was a sorry several weeks, all
around, and even the behavior of so
me reporters raises some questions.
On the second Sunday of the strike,
Will McDonough, a Boston Globe
sportswriter who is also employed by
CBS Sports, went on the air with a
prediction that Los Angeles Raider
regulars would return to practice en
masse a day later.
McDonough's statement was made
at a time when the policy of the NFL's
28 owners was to break the strike with
two tactics:
-Refusal to bargain with the union
on any serious issue, thereby provoking the players to lose hope that they
would get the quick settlement they
wanted.
-Pressuring as many veterans as
possible, through various means, to
cross the union 's picket lines, thereby
encouraging other players to follow
suit.
One of the means they used was the
planting of rumors.
The NFLalways has spread rumors
profitably , and this time, from Day 1,
there were stories that this player or
another would cross the picket line
today or tomorrow. Most proved untrue.
The grandest of all of this year's
rumors was the prediction, made
simultaneously on the strike's second
weekend by different speakers in different parts of the country, that this
team or that would return en masse
"tomorrow."
It never happened. The Raiders, for
example, weren'tclosetoreturningen
masse. But the rumors clearly had an
effect on some players.
McDonough's role can be examined in the context of all that. What
background information is available?
Here's some of it
-The goal of Raider owner Al
Davis, from the start, was to get his
strikers back intact as soon as he
could. When Howie Long and one or
two other players wanted to join the
non-union team, Davis sent them
away.
-Davis reasoned that if Long, a respected All-Pro, were with the strikers, instead of against them, he and
other players opposed to the strike
could persuade the rest of the Raiders
to return, as Davis said, en masse.
-That prompted McDonough's prediction.
-McDonough has for many years
used Davis as a source. More than
once. Western writers have been with

Davis here during their conversations.
-McDonough specializes in stories
that require high-level sources.
-McDonough generally takes
strong anti-player, pro-owner positions, a she did throughout this strilas,
positions that Davis and other owners
like to hear.
-The NFL will take advantage of
sportswriters and sportscasters who a
resympathetic with their views. When
the owners want their position or a key
rumor set before, the .public, various
owners and others make contact with
those people.
It's an efficient system. It almost
always works.
Anyone relying on an NFL press
release for essential information this
month would have had no knowledge
of what was going on. The league's
public relations policy has been to
pretend that there was no strike.
The official Oct. 13 release was
typical. The Chicago Bears were
simply identified as the league's only
undefeated team, and the Raider-San
Diego non-union game was simply
identified as a batde for first place in
the division.

Defensive back Tom Heavy skies to break up a pass against Mansfield this
past weekend. The defense is one of the reasons that Bloomsburg is ranked in
'
Young
itwio byMichcic
the Division II Top 20.

BU breaks Top 20

By Troy Hunsinger
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University football team has appeared in the
20th position in the latest NCAA Division II football ratings. The
Huskies raised their record to 5-2 and replaced Mansfield in the
poll. Bloomsburg joins two other Pennsylvania Conference schools
in the rankings as West Chester is in the third spot and Indiana
(Pa.)is rated ninth .
The defensive backs have played an important role in the
Huskies success thus far. The Husky's defensive backs consist of
Derrick Hill, Tom Heavey, Bruce Linton , and Dan Shutt. Hill is
the "quarterback of the defensive backs," according to Coach
Adrian. Hill plays free safety and is responsible for calling the six
to nine different coverages. He has 25 tackles this year. He has also
caused two fumbles and five pass breakups. Tom Heavey also has
25 tackles. He has four pass breakups and two interceptions. Dan
Shutt is the only starting defensive back that is a senior. He also
has 25 tackles. He has one pass breakup and one interception.
Linton is the leading tackier for the defensive backs with 27
tackles. He has 12 pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Hill
and Heavey are both special teams players. Hill has one kickoff
return for 14 yards and 11 punt returns for 44 yards. Heavey has
four kickoff returns for 56 yards. Coach Adrian is pleased that of
the four defensive backs "all will be coming back but one. "
Two other players which see playing time at this position are
Ron Sahm and Delmas Woods. Sahm has been named to the
Eastern College Athletic Conference 's "Weekly Honor Roll" for
his performance in the Huskies 28-17 victory at Mansfield last
Saturday. Sahm made the most of his limited playing time by
intercepting a Mansfield pass and returning it 52 yards for a
Bloomsburg touchdown. He also blocked an extra-point attempt
following Mansfield' s first touchdown. Besides these statistics
Sahm has 13 tackles, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery and has
blocked a punt. Woods has 12 tackles, one fumble recovery and
five pass breakups. Woods is inserted on Bloomsburg's nickle
defense and Sahm in Bloomsburg 's dime defense. The defenses
have five and six defensive backs, respectively.

It depends on
how you say il
Los Angeles Times
In honor of the World Series,
this column is dedicated to baseball, the national pastime, not
counting replacement football
or keeping up with Billy Martin.
Casey Stengel, the late New
York Yankees manager, talking
about ... well, something: "The
Red Sox changed their methods
and have come in with a young
and old, established ballclub
that's gonna make itself. I can 't
put the White Sox as high as they
put themselves, see, but I'll say
the Red Sox have done pretty
good.
"Cleveland has done great,
the Yankees will be the same or
better and so they should
strengthen themselves, and if
they win , great, and let's hope,
everybody in New York , it 's the
greatest city in the world. I
worked for three of 'em , th ey all
do well and that 'll be better for
New York. Thank you."
Yogi Berra , former Yankee
catcher, after showering and
changing clothes during a hot
spell , met a woman as he walked
out of his hotel room:
"My, you look cool," the
woman said.
"Thank you , ma'am," Berra
said. "You don 't look so hot
yourself."
Jim Bouton , former pitcher,
on Martin: "Lots of people look
up to Billy Martin. That's because he just knocked them
down."
Karolyn Rose, on former husband Pete: "You have to give
him credit for what he's accomplished. He never went to college and the only book he ever
read was "The Pete Rose Story.'

Jay Johnstone, former I/as
Angeles Dodger, on Steve Garvey: "Steve is the type of guy
who, for laughs, does Tom Landry impressions."
Yogi Berra, when asked by
Joe DiMaggio what time it was:
"You mean right now?"
Bill Veeck, the late baseball
entrepreneur, when asked the
first thing he would do i f he were
named commissioner: "Resign."
Ty Cobb, 1920s Detroit Tigers superstar, explaining in
1960 why he thought he would
hit only .300 against modemday pitching: "I'm 73."
Cesar Geronimo , former
Houston Astro and Cincinnati
Red, on being the 3,000th strikeout victim of both Nolan Ryan
and Bob Gibson: "I was just in
the right place at the right time."
Lefty Gomez, Yankee Hall of
Fame pitcher, about the only
timein his career he broke a bat:
"I ran over it backing out of the
garage."
Ralph Kiner, former Pittsburgh Pirates power hitter, on
why he never choked up on the
bat: "Cadillacs are down at the
end of the bat."
Dizzy Dean, former St. Louis
Cardinals pitching star, on pullinginto a gas station: "Itpuzzles
me how they know what comers
are good for filling stations. Just
how did these fellows know
there was gas and oil under
there?"
Stengel on pitching: "When a
fielder gets a pitcher into
trouble, the pitcher has to slump
himself out of a slump he isn 't
in."
Sparky Lyle, former relief
pitcher, on why he preferred
pitching out of the bullpen to
being a starter: "Why pitch nine
innings when you can get just as
famous pitching two."
Robin Roberts, former pitching star of the Philadelphia Phillies, describing his greatest AllStar Game thrill: "When
Mickey Mantle bunted with the
wind blowing out in Crosley
Field."
Wes Westrum, former Giant
catcher, on baseball: "It's like
church. Many attend, but few
understand."

Bloomsburg soccer team is
dealt tough loss by Kings
strikers so much lime and space with
which to score twice in the first 25
minutes.
On both occasions the defense had
ample time and opportunities to clear
the ball , but on both occasions they
failed to do so and conceded two
goals.
At the half the score remained the
same, and the Huskies failed to regain
their best form. Granted , five key
players were absent due to injuries
and exams, but Kings really was no
match even for a weakened Huskies
team. Lacking from Bloomsburg play
was committment and pride , ingredients which allowed them lo compete

by Raskin Mark
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University soccer
team suffered a very embarrassing 21 loss to King 's College Tuesday . For
a team that extended opponentsof the
caliber of Lafayette, Buekncll, and
West Virg inia Wcslcyan , the Huskies
must feel the loss to Kinggs is a major
letdown. No one associated with the
Huskies envisioned this loss, which
makes it such a bitter pill to swallow.
The Huskies outplayed their opponents in almost every area except in
aggression and scoring. Bloomsburg
reg istered 14 shots to Kings ' 11.

sustained pressure from the Huskies,
but something was missing. The final
pass which is so crucial in attacking
play usually went astray, and this
stifled many of their attacks.

As time went on in the game, there
just was not enough time to grab a late
equalizer. Randy Meitzler scored and
was assisstcd by Dave Deck.
It was Mictzler 's first goal in varsity ball and great things are expected
from him in the future.
On Thursday the Huskies host
Lycoming and are expected lo dominate this contest. With the squad expected back at full strength , the team
needs to regroup and put Kings in the
past as they go about plating ball as
they know they can.

BU set for Homecoming
The Bloomsburg University football team will be out to assure itself of
the school's fourth straight winning
season when the Huskies host Millersville this Saturday, Oct. 24, in the
university 's 60th Homecoming game.
The contest is slated for 1:30 p.m. in
Robert B. Redman Stadium on the
upper campus.
Last week's 28-17 victory over
homcslanding Mansfield lifted the
Huskies to 5-2 overal l and 3-1 in the
PSAC. A victory in any one of the

remaining four con tests would give
the club its fourth winning season in a
row and fifth consecutive non-losing
campaign. Meanwhile, Millersville
has dropped its iast two outings after
four straight wins to open the season
and stands at 4-2, 2-1 in the Eastern
division .
This is the 60lh meeting between
the teams with the Huskies holding a
slim 23-22 edge in the series. There
have been four tics.
Millersville won last year's game

by a score of 36-3. The Huskies won
28-17 in 1985, and the teams have
split the last four meetings.
Millersville coach Gene Carpenter
is in his 18th season with one of the
nation 's top records among NCAA
Division II coaches at 122-51-4.
The Mauraders were 9-1 a year ago
with the lone loss a 7-3 verdict to West
Chester.
Saturday 's game can be heard live
on WBUQ radio, FM 91.1.

Notre Dame coach has
nothing but praise for USC
by Mai Florence
Los Angeles Times
Frank Leahy, the famed Notre
Dame coach of the '40s and early
'50s, was renowned for building up
opponents to the point of absurdity .
Then, the unbeaten Irish would routinely squash the team that Leahy had
touted as invincible.
Lou Holtz, the current Notre Dame
coach, isn 't as outlandish as Leahy ,
but he's learning.
In evaluating USC, or Southern
Cal, as the school is called in the
Midwest, Holtz didn 't spare the
superlatives on the team the Irish will
play Saturday at South Bend , Ind.
Holtz , speaking twice Tuesday in
conference calls, said among other
things that the Trojans were one of the
better football teams in the country
and that they had a great chance to go
to the Rose Bowl.
If USC, 4-2 overall, is among the
better teams in the country, it's not
reflected in the national news service
polls. The Trojans didn 't make the top
20 this week.

The number one Division III Bloomsburg University field hockey team extended their
undefeated streak to 17-0 this week. See Monday 's issue for complete details.

Goodwin took a difficult loss from King 's College this Tuesday.

As for going to the Rose Bowl, the
Trojans have a chance, but not a particularly great one. They're in second
place in the Pacific 10 with a 3-1
record behind UCLA (3-0) with four
more conference games to play, in-

cluding a date with the Bruins Nov.
21.
"Gerry Faust (Holtz's predecessor)
called me last week and said he
watched USC on film against Oregon
State and told me they were a great
football team ," said Holtz , wanning
up lo his assessment of the Trojans.
"Consequently, I got the USC film
and I want to say this sincerely: USC
is an outstanding football team. Their
improvement the last five weeks has
been dramatic and :'.has been consistent."
Consistent?
Michigan Stale beat USC in the
season opener, 27-13. Then the favored Trojans beat Boston College,
California and Oregon State before
losing to underdog Oregon. USC rebounded last week by beating Washington in Seattle, 37-23.
More from Holtz:
"This is the best offensive team
we've played by far. (Steven) Webster is one of the leading ballcarriers in
the country. He's averaging almost 6
yards a carry.(4.5), the offensive line
is big and strong and the quarterback,
Rodney Peete, is outstanding.
"The most impressive statistic about
Peete is that he has lost only 37 yards
while passing in six games, yet he
throws the ball about 30 times (25) a
game while averaging 245 (227.2)

I^Kvvwigjjgyjigjsgg

yards.
"USC throws the ball without ever
paying the price. Peete never gets
sacked (he has been sacked twice).
That concerns me because we haven 't
been able to get close to a passer. We
haven 't been able to generate more
than one turnover in the last 10 quarters."
Holtz then extolled Peete's
peripheral vision, the strength of his
arm, his quick release, accuracy and
his ability to run the option , the lastest
phase of USC's offense.
It wasn 't all hyperbole, because
USC ranks sixth nationally in total
offense, averaging 454.7 yards a
game, and Peete ranks ninth individually, averaging 241.5 yards.
Even though the Irish (4-1) are
ranked 10th in both news service poll
s and are a touchdown favorite to beat
the Trojans, you wouldn't get that
impression listening to Holtz.
Asked if he perceived any weakness in US C and how he would exploit
it , Holtz said, "Offensively, I see
absolutely none. I can't think of a
team in the country that gives you as
many problems as Southern Cal will
give you.
"Defensively, they're a little young
and inexperienced, but they play so
hard and have such great lateral movement. I think their secondary is exceptionally talented."

A Series without New York is an added plus

by Shirley Povich
The Washington Post
This is where a World Series should
be played, in one of baseball's smaller
towns; where a whole community is
seized by the excitement of it, where
there is dancing in the streets, where
the worship of hometown heroes is
busting out all over, and the natives
stomp and cheer and give their hearts
It is
to their wondrous favorites.
always a plus for baseball, and America, too, when the World Se ries does
not land in New York, where it is old
hat and little more than a blip on life in
that metropolis.
Except when the miracle Mets
made a hoopla of it last year, the
World Series in New York has rarel y
been a great happening. It has been
simply absorbed into the events of a
city that always appears otherwise
diverted by the latest revelations of
city corruption or the newest trends of
the fashion zealots or the latest tremors on Wall Street,
Minneapolis is where a World Se-

ries belongs, and St. Louis, although
one newspaper here suggests that St.
Louis is not as deserving because, "in
St. Louis after the Cardinals made it
into the World Series, there was not
the emotional lovefest there was in
Minnesota." So there.
This World Series has even unified
the feudist Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In celebration , the
mayor of St. Paul ordered the owners
of all downtown buildings to keep the
lights burning all night to make "a
giant candle"of that city 's joy, even if
the games are being played in Minneapolis. Eric Sevareid , a native,
rerriembers that it took them 20 years
to agree on the naming of a bridge
between the two cities.
The zest with which the Twin Cities
have taken their baseball heroes to
their hearts was hig hlighted Friday
nigh t in Minneapolis ' Temple Aran
synagogue. There, the Star Tribune
reported , Rabbi Bernard Aaron conducted the solemn sabbath services
with a Twins cap serving as a yar-

mulke. And instead of the traditional
closing hymn, "Yigdal," the congregation sang "Take Me Out to the Ball
Game."
It has all been pretty ecumenical in
the city 's acclaim for its team, now
leading. the Series. At the Basilica of
St. Mary 's, a 60-foot pennant reads:
"Alleluia, Twins," and nearby the
Lutheran publishing house flaunts its
own banner: "Thou Shalt Win ,
Twins."
The badge of all true Minnesotans
this' week is the "Homer Hankie." It is
the hottest-selling item in the state's
history, a white handkerchief thing
emblazoned with a Twins logo and
suitable for waving inside and outside
the stadium, serving both to cheer the
home team and taunt the other club.
The "Homer" connotation tells the
Cardinals the Twins hit 102 more
homers this season.
When the Twins started beating up
on the Cardinals in Game 1, the scene
in the Metrodome was a blizzard of
white, Homer Hankies being furi-

ously flourished blanketing the
55,000 seats. The lines to buy the
hankies were still an hour long when
the sold-out sign went up. However,
orders were being taken for later delivery in about three weeks.
Anybody with the remotest connection to the adored Twins is a personage in Minneapolis. In the fourth inning Saturday night, the name that
went up in lights on one of the displays
in the stadium was "Lin Terwilliger,"
in the form of a "Happy Birthday,
Lin."To anyone who would ask who,
precisely, is Lin Terwilliger, the answer given is that she is the wife of the
Twins' first-base coach , and now you
know.
The weekend offered the first two
encapsulated games in World ' Series
history, played in the Metrodome, famous and infamous for its wind currents from hot-air blowers that keep
the plastic roof aloft , for its lights that
so often deny baffled outfielders a fix
on fly balls, and its resilient, baggy
right-field fence. One press-box in-

mate, m a reference to the dome's hotair blowers, yelled to a Twins batter,
"Swing now, you've got the wind
with ya!"
Yet, no one in Minnesota is apologizing for indoor baseball, and even if the
Cardinals had taken a 2-0 lead in
games back to St. Louis, the Minneapolis folks should have been solaced
according to what they were told by a
newspaper writer whose native prides
were evident.
She cited her surveys to tell everybody that Minneapolis is still a better place to live than St.
Louis, no matter how the World Series comes out. For example: Minneapolis has better health care, less crime,
more arts, unemployment a mere 4.8
percent versus St. Louis ' 8.1, and
more college and high-school graduates. This she did concede: that the
Mississippi River shared by both cities has an 18 times greater flow rate in
St. Louis than in Minneapolis. But,
aha, the sewage discharge rate is three
times higher in St. Louis.So, take that,
you Cardinal people.
