Founders
inducted
as colony

Senior News Editor
Twenty-four Bloomsburg Univeristy men were inducted as a colony of
the ntional fraternity Theta Chi last
Wednesday night during a ceremony
held in Multi-Purpose Room B.
Theta Chi President Michael Morrissey opened the ceremony with a
brief speech explaining the group's
purposes and then introduced those in
attendance.
Dean Black, the Theta Chi field representative who stayed with the group
for a week, conducted the induction
ritual with the help of Theta Chi brothers from Penn State.
Morrissey said the group came up
with the idea of starting a fraternity
during the fall semester last year.
However, he said, by the time they got
things together, tliey were tabled until
this semester.
I wanted to start a national fraternity so we could all stay together,"
Morrissey said. He said the reason
they didn 't pledged existing fraternities is they all wanted to be a part of the
same group and "no fraternity would
take all 24 of us."
The group is now in the six -week
founding father stage. During that
time, they must continue to do service
projects and learn as much as possible
about the fraternity. So far, they have
accumulated 110 service hours.
The group can also have one or two
during this period.
"We have to follow , word-forword, the national Theta Chi pledge
manual," Morrissey added.
When the six-week period is over,
the members will go to Lehigh University to be inducted as brothers of
Theta Chi.
Morrissey met yesterday with
member of the Inter-Fraternity Council to discuss the position of the new
national fraternity.
We want to be accepted by them
(IFC)," Morrissey said.
Morrissey said Black invited the
presidents from the existing fraternities to come to the induction ceremony but none came.
"We knew we'd come up against
negative feelings,"he explained. "We
knew we wouldn't have an easy
time." He added, though, that some
brothers from other fraternities do
congratulate them.
Guests who attended the induction
ceremony are Resident Director of
Montour Hall Donald Young, Greek
Advisor Lori Bareness and the presi
dents and sisters of Alpha Sigma
Alpha and Chi Sigma Rho sororities.
Also, brothers from the Penn State
and Susquehanna chapters of Theta
Chi.
Following the ceremony, a reception was held and pictures were taken
for the Theta Chi national newsletter.

Salamone to serve federal sentence

by Leon Bogdan
Press-Enterprise Staff
Despite a tearful plea of innocence
and repeated assurances that "I am
not a bad person ," Salvatore
Salamone was sentenced Friday to 16
years in federal prison for his reconviction on weapons offenses.
The punishment was four years
less than Salamone, the owner of
in
Sal' s Place restaurant
Bloomsburg, received for his initial
conviction in 1985 on the same
charges dealing with machine gun
possession and falsifying gun forms.
The case was subsequently ordered
tried again by an appellate court who
found an error in jury selection. U.S.
Judge Malcolm Muir had struck National Rifle Association members
from the jury pool.
Muir, the samejudge who imposed
sentence in the first gun trial, ordered
that Salamone must serve the 16
years on top of a five-year prison term
he received in June for money laundering in the New York "pizza connection" drug trial.
With the two years in jail Salamone
has already served while on trial in
the "pizza connection" case, the net
effect of yesterday's sentence will
lead to 19 years of federal custody.
Unreal. The man s inhuman,
Salamone's wife, Vincenza, said after hearing the judge impose four
consecutive four-year terms, all
consecutive to the New York sentence. She vowed to appeal.
"What do you expect from a hanging judge?" said her 38-year-old
husband as he was led by federal
marshals to a waiting car for the ride
back to Lewisburg federal penitentiary.

Muir, stating that he felt his initial
20-year sentence was "fair" because
of "the poten tially dangerous" nature
of the offenses, told Salamone, "I have
heard nothing since that time which
has changed our position."
The judge noted he was reducing the
term by four years because Salamone
was acquitted by a jury on one of six
counts the second time around.
"I'm not a criminal like the government portrays me to be," Salamone
pleaded before the judge, breaking
into tears twice as he tried to read a
two-page statement to the judge.
"I feel I am just a victim of the
circumstances. I'm just a hard-working man," he said. "Please, your
honor, give me plenty of probation to
show you and prove to you I am not a
bad person."
Salamone, who had never been arrestedbefore his federal indictment on
the weapons charges on Dec. 27, 1984,
said the past three years have left his
family "financiall y and emotionally
destroyed."
I never done anybody any harm.
This disgraces our parents and our
name," he said in a trembling voice.
Muir agreed to lower fines against
Salamone to $20,000 from original
fines of $35,000. A financial statement submitted to the court before
sentencing showed Salamone is
$108,000 in debt, said defense attorney David Kurtz.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Albert
Wicks pressed for the same 20-year
sentence to be reimposed because the
guns - 16 semi-automatic, militiarystyle weapons bought by Salamone in
1982 - ended up in the hands of
underworld figures in New Jersey.
"They were not designed as hunting

rifles," the government prosecutor
argued , adding, "To claim he had no
idea where these guns were going
stretches belief."
But both atlorney Kurtz and
Salamone protested any alleged tics
to organi/.ed crime, wilh Salamone at
one point saying of the Mafia , "I am
very much against these people and I
do not want to be condemned to be
one of them."

But, they stressed, in reviewing
such blueprints, including the pending Shoreham and Seabrook plans,
they will assume cooperation by local
and state authorities in a real crisis,
even if they refuse to participate in the
planning.

accident at Three Mile Island.
Adopted in 1980, it required utilities
to plan for evacuation of all communities within a 10-mile radius of their
plants, and to conduct drills to show
that the plan would work.
Massachusetts Gov. Michael S.
Dukakis (D), a candidate for president whose state lies within the
evacuation range of Seabrook and
which has refused to participate in
emergency planning, threatened to
challenge the ruling in court.

"The NRC has failed ," said Suffolk
County Executive Michael LoGrande. "We will not tolerate indifference to public safety."
New Hampshire Gov. John H.
Sununu (R) submitted evacuation
plans for Seabrook, 40 miles north of
Boston. But Dukakis has declined to
cooperate, contending that no plan
could adequately assure public health
and safety in event of a reactor meltdown.
Cuomo and Long Island authorities
argue that quick evacuation is not
practical from Shoreham, which lies
75 miles northeast of New York City
and has the normally congested Long
Island Expressway as its main avenue
of escape.

Salamone had tastified that he had
been asked to exchange money and
buy guns for an older brother , Filippo,
and that he acted solely as "a translator" for his brother in the transactions.
He said he had "learned a great deal"
from his past 32 months in jail "which
I will carry to my grave."
"1am sorry for my stupidity, and my
trusting in other people," Salamone's
statement said.

Commission removes nuclear site restrictions
by Michael Weisskopf

LA. Times- Washington Post Service

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Thursday removed the major
obstacle to startup of two controversial East Coast nuclear power plants
by dropping a requirement that local
and state authorities .participate in
emergency evacuation plans.
The NRC voted unanimously to
consider licenses for reactors on a
utility's emergency plan alone if the
authorities refuse to cooperate, eliminating the main weapon of opponents
to the Seabrook nuclear plant in New
Hampshire and the Shoreham plant
on Long Island.
Both facilities, long ready for
operation, have been blocked by local
and state officials ' refusal to cooperate in emergency plans.
Commissioners said that the ruling
does not assure licenses for Seabrook,
Shoreham or any other plant. Utilities
still must demonstrate their ability to
protect the public health and safety in
the absence of local and state participation in planning.

"It's no panacea for any particular
plant," NRC Chairman Landon W.
Zech Jr. said of the new rule. "It just
provides _ vehicle (for licensing
plants) when state and local governments won't cooperate in planning.
We do assume state and local governments will do whatever is necessary
to protect their citizens."
Spokesmen for the utility managers
of the Seabrook and Shoreham plants,
both $5 billion facilities, welcomed
the ruling as a way of breaking the
regulatory logjam that has resulted in
costly delays to full operations.
But opponents in environmental
groups and state and local governments strongly criticized the decision
for flouting one ofthe most important
regulatory reforms to follow the 1979

"The NRC has in effect become the
fox in the henhouse, lobbying for the
industry it is mandated to regulate,"
he said.
Similar opposition was voiced in
New York, where the state and Suffolk County governments have refused to cooperate in evacuation
plans for Shoreham, which lies along
Long Island Sound.
A spokesman for New York Gov.
Mario M. Cuomo (D) said a new standard " changes the rules of the game
is something we find repugnant."

Both Public Service Co. of New
Hampshire, the primary owner of
Seabrook, and Long Island Lighting
Co., the powner of the Shoreham
plant, have filed emergency evacuation plans with the NRC without the
participation of the New York and
Massachusetts governments. Shore-

ham, essentially ready for operation
in 1984, has been running at low
power for two years. Seabrook was
allowed to load nuclear fuel one year
ago.
The regulation approved by the
five-member NRC said that state and
local participation is "highly desirable, and indeed is essential for maximum effectiveness of emergency
planning and preparedness."
But Congress, which required cooperative planning in 1980, "did not
intend that the absence of such participation should preclude licensing
of substantially completed nuclear
power plants where there is a utilityprepared emergency plan that provides reasonable assurances of
adequate protection to the public,"the
NRC said.
In an accompanying "discussion,"
commissioners said the rule establishes a "framework" in which a utility seeking an operating license can
show that its emergency planning is
"adequate" even if local and state authorities refuse to cooperate.

Bloomsburg University 's finance
club, which has grown considerably
in membership since last semester,
plans to become a nationally recognized organization by the end of the
year.
Club president Drew Lotsis said his
goal is to get the finance club on the
same level with the campus chapter of
the American Marketing Association.
"The AMA is one of the best organizations on campus," Lotsis said. "It is
run very well."
Lotsis explained that by becoming a
chapter of the Financial Management
Association , the most widely recognized student group for finance , the
members will enjoy special benefits.
"The FMA will give employment
opportunities around the country,"
Lotsis said. Also, he added, members
will receive quarterly journals which
will offer ideas and theories which
will be helpful when pursuing a career.
Lotsis is positive about the formation of the FMA chapter at BU.
"Itdefinitely will happen .It's justa
matter of getting people together," he
said.
This Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the
McCormick Forum, the club will
meet to discuss what has to be done to
become a national organization .
"I want to be ready to send the applications in by next month so the seniors
will still have a chance to get involved ," Lotsis said.
Also at Wednesday's meeting, John
Mansfield from Prudential-Beache
Security in Wilkes-Barre, will speak
to the club.
"Everyone should come and show
interest so they will recruit from our
campus," Lotsis said. "We have to
create an awareness that BU cares
about what is going on."
The finance club, formed in 1984,
works to improve the academic environment for students in the finance
major.
According to Lotsis, the number of
finance majors has doubled since last
year and classrooms are overloaded.
A search for new finance professors is
now being conducted.
"Through my own experience, I
found that finance majors need Lotus
to get an entry level job," he said.
Although the course is not offered on
campus, Lotsis said the finance club
will be offering a session next
semester through Extended Programs.
Students in any major can join the
finance club because the topics discussed can filter into various areas of
study. For example, Lotsis said that
the speakers scheduled for earlier in
October were the "type of speakers
the whole school should hear."
In the future, the club is planning
several activities such as fundraisers ,
trips, and speakers. A trip to the New
York City Stock Exchange for Nov.
12.

To the Editor:
I was appalled to read Vice President Griff is ' statement regarding
Bloomsburg University 's AIDS policy, (The Voice , Oct. 15, 1987).
The attitude expressed would have
been more appropriate from a bunch
of half-witted rabbic ol the middle
ages than from an informed , educated ,
enli ghtened , and presumabl y intelligent Administration of a twentieth
century American university.
Statisticall y, AIDS is probabl y already on die Rll campus; if not yet ,
then itcertainl y will be within tlie next
year oi' two. AIDS is no longer jus t a
horrible ni ghtmare . It 's a fact of life
and for Ihe time being is with us lo

Bloomsburg. PohUcs.
Be it a corporation, a community
government, or a state university , behind-the-scenes politics shape the decisions thai govern policy. This includes lhe back-biling, the deals that
arc made behind closed doors, the infighting lhat oflcn prevents one office
from getting what it wants and needs
because another office is united at lhat
particular moment. The focus of this
politics at BU has its roots in a single
word , image.
This is die reason why the campus
police at Bloomsburg University are
called 'security.' This is why condoms are not sold in the University
Store as part of the university 's AIDS
policy. This is why the university often treats the symptoms of a problem
instead of treating the disease.
In the case of the campus police, it is
a question of the university 's image as
a safe haven - mom 's and dad's piece
of mind. Were it true that Law Enforcement and Security were called
Campus Police, the first question
would be "Why do you need a police
department on campus?"
The case involving condoms would
appear self-evident. Either the university does not want to be seen as supporting the sexually active nature of
its student population, or the univer-

sity is unwilling to take a stand that
would upset the 'bible-thumpers '
mentioned in another editorial piece
on this page.
As to treating the symptoms instead of the disease, an example will
illustrate my point. Occasionally, a
student will get in trouble following
the consumption of a great deal of
alcohol. A year ago, on Halloween,
two freshmen got drunk at a fraternity party and then did some damage
to tombstones in a local cemetary.
Occasionally a student will get
busted downtown for underage
drinking.
The administration knows that the
main 'customer ' at the 'major parties ' thrown at this university are
underage. To deny this would be
ridiculous. Yet, knowing this and the
fact that the underage consumption
of alcohol is illegal, the university
does nothing. The main reason, in my
opinion, is that the university does
not want the publicity involved in
such an action.
In each case, the university 's policy, what-is-done, is dictated by and
enacted solely on the behalf of image. One hand washes the other. It is
too bad that there is no soap involved
at all , just a pool of murky water, or
beer. Thanks for the education.

Smoking chief preventable
cause of death, surve y says
by S usan Qkte

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Cigarette smoking, by contributing to heart and lung
diseases, cancers, fires and other causes of mortality, is
responsible for almost 16 percent of all deaths in the
United States each year, according to an analysis by the
federal Office on Smoking and Health.
The federal study, using figures for U.S. deaths in 1984
and scientific data on the contribution of smoking to
various diseases, concluded that more than 320,000 of the
approximately 2 million deaths in dial year could be
attributed to smoking, the chief preventable cause of death
in the United Slates. The report appears in Friday 's issue
of the Centers for Disease Control' s weekly bulletin.

The estimates are conservative , said Dr. Thomas Novotny, the government epidemiologist who prepared the
study, because U.S. smoking rates in 1985 were used to
make the calculations. The proportion of Americans who
smoked was greater in previous years, so smoking probably contributed to even more of the 1984 deaths than the
figures suggest.
"It reflects smoking over a continuum ," Novotny said.
"These deaths were related to smoking prevalence in the
last three decades. You can 't name every one of those
people, but this is an estimate ofthe quantily of death due
to smokine.... "
The report lists estimated numbers of deaths attributable
to smoking from 24 different diseases, including heart
disease, lung cancer and other cancers, strokes, pneumonia and chronic lung disorders.
It also estimated that more than 2,500 deaths of infants
under 1 year old could be attributed to smoking by lhe
mother. Various studies have shown that smoking during
pregnancy increases the frequency of low-birthweight
infants, premature births , lung disorders in the newborn
period and sudden infan t death syndrome (SIDS), Novotn y said.
The total number of death s attributable to smoking,
320,515, is higher than that estimated in previous studies,
Novotny said, reflecting the fac t that the recent mortality

figures show the health impact of smoking habits over the
last several decades. In 1980, smoking was estimated to
have caused 270,000 deaths and , in 1982,314,000 deaths.
Americans' cigarette smoking rates have been declining since the 1960s, when reports of the adverse health effects were first widely reported. In 1986, 26.5 percent of
adult Americans smoked , the lowest proportion ever recorded. In 1964, the year the U.S. surgeon general first
reported that smoking increased the risk of lung cancer,
40 percent of Americans smoked .
Eventually, annual mortality figures from smoking-related diseases sh ould begin to reflect Americans' declining smoking rate, Novotny said.
He noted lhat death rates from heart disease are already
decreasing and that lung-cancer death rates in men appear
to be leveling off. However, lung-cancer rates among
women arc rising,and the disease surpassed breast cancer
in 1985 as the most common cause of cancer deaths in
women , he said.
Novotny said that in compiling the figures, he only considered diseases for which a number of scientific studies
had shown that smoking clearly increased the risk. "There
are many other diseases one could think about" that were
not included because their relationship to smoking was
less definite , he said.
To estimate smoking 's contribution to premature
deaths, the researchers calculated that American s dying
of smoking-related causes before age 65 lost a total of
949,924 years of potential life. The report said that
smoking 's contribution to the mortality rate for men was
twice as great as that for women , reflecting the fact that a
greater proportion of men than women were smokers over
the past few decades.

Smoking's contribution to die mortality rate for blacks
was 20 percent greater than for whites, and the number of

The neighbpr, Allen McCabe, advised Kajcc , who is classified a.s Inci iar
under South African law, that the community was for whiles onl y. Ther
McCabe called the police, who chatted a few minutes with Kajcc but left
without making a fuss.
McCabe, who has organized his white nei ghbors to fight the illegal
"graying " of this area, was irritated.
"To me, there is a law making this area white and the government is refusing to enforce its own law ," McCabe said later in his living room around iik
corner from Kajee's home.
Kajee said he bought here "because I liked the house," not because he
wanted to be a crusader. But he added: "I was born and bred in South Afric;;
I' ve never even been to India. Wh y shouldn 't I be able lo live when:, i want?'
South African President Pieter W. Botha said early in October that he
supports limited changes in the Group Areas Act that would allow nei ghborhood s the option of opening themselves to al! races. The act , a cornerstone ¦>'
apartheid , has for 37 years divided South Africa into raciai l y separate
residential areas.
But thousands of blacks, Indians and mixed-race "colorcds " have already
moved into some white working-class suburbs of South Africa 's major cities
- openly defying the law.
No one knows whether local-option integration would legalize these tie

government to mass evictions. But local-option, integration has ."heady

Glasnost supporters express
regard on Gorbachev 's safety
by William J. Eaton

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

When the familiar face of Mikhail
S. Gorbachev disappeared from Soviet television screens and the front
pages of the newspapers last summer,
it set off wide concern and speculation , here and abroad. Was the Kremlin chief ill? Was he, as the West
German newspaper Bild. reported, the
victim of an attempted poisoning?
Could he be in political difficulty? Or
was he just away on his annual vacation, soaking up sunshine in the Crimea?
One of Gorbachev 's chief supporters, Vitaly A. Korotich , the editor of
Ogonyok magazine, expressed a
commonly held view.
"The last man I want to be ill in this
country is Gorbachev ," Korotich told
visitors in mid-September. "His personal role in 'perestroika ' (the campaign to transform Soviet society) is
so great."
When Gorbachev returned from his
holiday, looking tanned and a.little
slimmer, he jokingly complained that
foreign correspondents in particular
were speculating too much about his
health."They try to bury me," he said.
The episode illustrated what a central role Gorbachev plays in perest
roika and the related program of
"glasnost," or public openness.
With amazing energy and public
relations skills, Gorbachev has captured the attention of the world as he
negotiates arms control treaties with
the United States and simultaneously
struggles to revitalize the stagnating

Soviet economy.
The spy-thriller writer, John Le
Carre, for example, has called Gorba
chev "the most interesting figure in
international life today ." Marshall I.
Goldman , a professor at Wellesley
College and head of the Russian
Research Center at Harvard, described Gorbachev as "probably the
strongest, most effective polidcal
manipulator ... since the Bolshevik
Revolution." Even the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency, hardly known
for its compliments to Kremlin leaders, termed him a "pragmatic visionary."
Gorbachev exudes self-confidence; but, then, a man with less selfass urance might not have attempted
what many in the West regard as an
impossible dream.
The 56-year-old Gorbachev, who
came to political maturity after the
trauma of World War II and the worst
days of Josef Stalin's terror, says he
had no choice except to try to remake
the Soviet Union. Without a revolutionary transformation , he has declared, the Soviet Union would lose
its status as a superpower and see its
global influence decline.

Helen Suzman , one of the government's libera!white critics in Parliament ,
thinks the Group Areas Act should be scrapped altogether. But she. says she
also foresees "endless upsurges of violent hostility and neighborhood warring

The Blessing hits rock scene

i;y Dave Garton
Staff Writer
Another Pennsy lvania rock band
seems to he '.veil on its way to success.
Based in the Alleniown-Bcthlehcm
area. The Blessing has just released
\ 7mn*L ionaI Records.
Formed in Jul y of 1986 , The Blessin g performed v. ith well-known
¦.\tnds. including Joan Jctt and the
filackhearts . Gene Loves Jezebel ,
md Ruin , gaining experience and a
.mall following. In April of 1987 , the
'• ¦¦and released a six-song cassette
¦-milled Redeemed. When die tapes
old briskl y in the Lehigh Valley, The
Blessing began performing in oilier
¦ities , including Pittsburgh and Philadel phia.
Aller receiving cnihusiastic rcsponscs in both cities , the band began
io work on a record. Not onl y would a
record provide new material for their
devout followers , but it would also
give them airplay on radio stations
that refuse lo plav cassettes.

The five songs on Eternity show a
grea t improvement over the cassette
in both playing ability and production. The vocals are crisp, the electronic drums sound almost real , and
the guitars arc heavy without being
overbearing. The music in general is
quite strong, but the group 's members
are quick to point out that they 're not
a heavy metal band.
The opening track , "Snakcskin
Bible ," warns of the dangers of surrendering to temptation , while
"Comes The Blind Fury " describes
the effects of a raging storm. "Betrayal" and "Giving Up The Ghost "
continue lhe mood of abandonment
and desperation , but not enoug h to
make you want to turn it off and hang
yourself.
Not all of the songs on the record
arc as g loomy as this , however. "A
Day With Julia ," for example, is a
love song that shows emotion withoul
being corny or sappy. This song 's
tunc is also one of the catchiest I' ve
heard in a while; I just can 't seem to

ever gel tired of it.
For such a young band , The Blessing have accomplished what many
bands still onl y dream of. The road to
musical success is paved with tlie
blood , sweat and tears of dozens of
hopefu l musicians. Those who are
able to survive die potholes and detours are too often those who "sell
out " to gain a more commercial audience. My hope is that The Blessing
can resist lhe temptation to commercialize their music such lhat they lose
the very qualities which make them
different from other bands. So far , I
believe that'lhey have.
Eternity is currently in light rotation on 91.1 FM WBUQ, so listen
whenever you get a chance. In addition , The Blessing will be featured in
an upcoming issue of B-Side magazine , so keep your eyes and ears open
for this band in ihc next few months.
Those interested in purchasing a
copy of Eternity may write to The

"Splish , splash , I was takin ' a bath !
Yeah!" lhe Husk y Singers exclaimed
as diey rolled on their backs and
waved their arms in the air. Breaking
out in a crazed towel fight in the
middle of a song, die Husk y Singers
proved once again lhat they can sing
as suave and sophisticated as Frank
Sinatra and still have a loi of fun.
Performing in "a cappella " (that is ,
without piano accompaniment), the
Huskies also sang "Li 'l Liza Jane ," an
American folk song.
Under ihc direction of Dr. William
Decker , the Husk y Singers charmed
the audience with a few of Frank
Sinatra ' s more popular numbers , and
"Arthur ' s Theme ," from the movie
"Arthur. "
An octet , consisting of members
from both the Husk y Singers and lhe
Women ' s Choral Ensemble , also

performed. Two selections from The
Music Man " were performed in the
barber-shop sty le.
The Women 's Choral Ensemble,
directed by Dr. Wendy Miller , strut
their stuff when they opened with "It
Don 't Mean A Thing " by Duke
Ellington. The women also sang such
songs as "Twist and Shout ," and
"Somewhere Out There ."
A small women 's group called
"Vogue " sang a jazz tune , and women
dancers wearing a variety of colored
skirts spiced up the choral performance.
The Concert Choir , also under the
direction of Dr. Decker, performed
songs such as "New York , New
York ," and "Back to the Future," to
name a few.
Every year a music major from
choir is selected to direct a piece.
Robert Koch was the student-director

Towering trees are transformed
into a spectrum of color, as vivid
shades of red, yellow , and orange
cover their massive limbs. Their distinctive colors arc unmistakably die
colors of fail. And what better place to
witness the beauty of the season than
at Ricketts Glen State Park , one of
Pennsylvania 's most scenic state
parks.
Located just 30 miles north of
Bloomsburg , on Route 487, Ricketts
Glen offers 13,050 acres of nature in
its finest form in Luzerne, Sullivan
and Columbia counties.
Ricketts Glen was established in
honor of Colonel Robert Bruce Ricketts , who enlisted in the U.S. Army in
1861. Ricketts led "Battery F," an
artillery unit lhat hel ped suppress the
famed "Pickett 's Charge " during the
battl e of Gettysburg.
Rickctt owned over 80,000 acres of
land , the majority of which was sold
by his heirs to the Pennsy lvania Game
Commission from 1920 to 1924. The
remaining land , in addition lo land
purchased from other individuals ,
became Ricketts Glen State Park .
The park offers a variety of recreational activities. The two most enjoyed and scenic sttractions of lhe

park are the Glens Natural Area and
20 miles of trails.
Tlie Glens Natural Area , a registered National Natural Landmark
since Oct. 12, 1969, consists of two
branches of Kitchen Creek which
wind dicir way through die deep
gorges of Ganoga Glen and Glen
Lei gh.
The two branches of white water
merge at "Waters Meet ," and continue to flow throug h Ricketts Glen
among pine , hemlock , and oak trees.
Many of the fallen trees along the path
of Kitchen Creek have ring counts
revealing tree ages of between 500
and 900 years old.
The hi ghli g ht of the Glens Natural
Area is the incredible Ganoga Falls ,
the hig hest of more than 22 waterfalls
in the park , which has a 94-fooi vertical drop to the bubbling waters below.
The park 's 20 miles of trails arc also
a prime attraction. The trails vary
from fairl y level to very steep hills ,
and cover much of tlie park. A scries
of trails covering a total ol seven
miles run parallel to the streams.
Scenic overlooks arc designated
along many of the trails.
Ricketts Glen State Park also offers
a variety of recreational activities for
the sport s enthusiast. Boaters and
fishermen can enjoy a dav on the 245-

acre Lake Jean, home to warm water
game fish , or may choose among
several creeks within the park or
Mountain Springs Lake, a 40-acre,
trout-filled lake.
Also, a five-mile network of bridle
trails are available for horseback riders. And hunters will find 83 ,000
acres of Slate Game Lands to the west
and north of the park, in addition to
the 9,000 acres of park land open to
public hunting.
For the family, Ricketts Glen offers
120 camp ing sites, 10 furnished cabins , and group tenting facilities,
which are open all year.
When fall turns to winter, and the
snow begins to fall , Ricketts Glen
Statc Park becomes a winter playland,
with 21 miles of snowmobile trails,
ice fishing on Lake Jean , a maintained
ice skating area , and an abundance of
snow layered hills for sledding.
Nestled in die mountains of Pennsy lvania , Ricketts Glen State Park
offers a variety of activities for all
interests and the beauty of nature
throughout the year.
All information about Ricketts
Glen Park was obtained from the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 's
Department of Environmental Resources , Harrisburg, PA.

Sorority serves town and campus

by Terry Limongelli
f o r The Voice
Many articles have been written
about the "Greeks" on Bloomsburg
University 's campus. Lately, the articles have had negative connotations.
Yet, the men and women belonging
to these organizations are serving
both the town and university in positive ways. One example of this is the
Delta Chi chapter of Alpha Sigma
Alpha (ASA) national sorority.
Founded in January of 1979 and
headquartered at 69 Sesame Street,
the women of the Delta Chi chapter
adhere to the national philanthropy of
the sorority which is to aid the mentally retarded.
They place emphasis on the Special
Olympics program offered in Centennial Gym each semester. Recently,
the sorority held a haunted house in
Bakeless for the children who participate in Special Olympics.

We 'd like you to know what they are.
Ask your doctor. "
Burnhill and spokesmen from
Oriho Pharmaceutical emphasized
lhat their goal is not to urge women to
take the Pill , but to clear up confusion
about oral contraceptives and to allow
women to make informed choices
aboul birth control methods.
Dr. Michael Kafrissen , Ortho 's
associate director of clinical research ,
explained that the findings of a Gallup
poll concerning contraceptives
showed how misinformed the American public is about the Pill.
Kafrissen noted lhat 10 to 13 million American women are currently
on the Pill and diat 75 percent of
American women will use oral contraception at some time in their lives.

Teaching technique boosts interest

by Lisa Cellini
f eaturesEditor
Editor 's Note: This is the second
half of a two-part series. The first
story was in the Oct. 22 edition of
The Voice.
Although the students at Greenwood Friends School are learning at
an accelerated rate, they are not gifted
witli extraordinary IQs or memories.
Simply, these grade-school children
are "learning by doing," and arc motivated by their accomplishments.
American educational techniques
often cramp students into a conforming "learning box." The borders of
this box, containing the inherent creativity and curiosity of children , are
composed of a relentless series of
rules — grammatical , mathemati cal
and social—to be repeatedly applied
in the learning experience until they
have been ingrained into a student 's
educational perceptions. Consequen tly, such techniques stifle the
potential of students.
Educators across the nation have

begun to realize the importance of
merging a child's natural curiosity
and the learning experience. The
Greenwood Friends School in
Millvillc has implemented an educational plan called the "Process Approach to Writing," developed in part
by educator Donald Graves.
"We don't 'pencil and paper' them
to death wilh workbooks. These children read real books, and actuall y
discuss the authors they've read ,"
commented one teacher. The program nurtures individual ideas and
enthusiasm of the students, accounting for their overall accelerated learning pace.
Of the "three Rs" — "rcadin ',
'ritin ', and "rithmetic" — lhe "Process Approach" deals wilh literary and
grammatical skills. Of course, mathematics, social studies and science arc
included in die grade-school curriculum. However, the teachers believe
that good reading and writing abilities
are skills all students need to advance
in their educational careers.

As the kindergarten teacher raises a
crayon-embellished picture of the
Blue Fairy of "Pinocchio," she asks
her student, Sarah, to read the sentence she has scrawled at the bottom
of the picture describing the scene.
It reads, "BF S W A WD," which
seems virtually indecipherable. Yet,
she stands proudly and says, "Blue
Fairy is waving a wand." After only
two months in kindergarten , Sarah is
able to write her own sentence and
read it aloud.
According to the Anne Javsicas,
school director , the mechanics of
reading and writing are not as important as the message that the author is
try ing to convey. Rules will be applied as the students individually refine and improve their writing.
As quoted from the June 4, 1986
edition of die Press Enterprise, "If a
student gets excited about wriung,
he'll read more, and be more willing to
endure the ri gors of punctuation and
grammar."
The children arc motivated to im-

prove every time they read their stories in front of the class during "sharing time" or have their books published.
When students complete an original literary piece, they hold publishing conferences with their teachers, in
order to prepare the work for printing.
After the teachers edit the piece,
parents and volunteers help to type,
write and bind the small booklets. The
average book is approximately 10 to
15 pages in length.
A "publishing parly" is planned
when the book has been completed.
This recognition gives each student a
feeling of pride and accomplishment
in what ihcy have completed . As well,
it gives the other students a chance to
appreciate the efforts of their classmates.
Implemented two years ago, the
program appears lo provide a healthy
and posiiivc environment which enhances the learning experience of
each sludent at the Greenwood
Friends School. In time , the effects of
this technique will not only be evident
in educational systems nationwide ,
but also widiin these students.

Bloom Magazine written by students

by Laura Specht
Staff Writer
If the average Bloomsburg University student were asked what Bloom
Magazine is, they would most likely
tell you that it is a poetry magazine.
Until just a year ago, this was more
or less true. However, last semester a
central theme was given to the issue
and feature articles were written in
relation to lhat theme.
"It is one way to get people interested in a magazine. If it were purely
creative wriung very few people
would bother reading it ," said Lisa
Hannum , managing editor. Hannum
also said lhat last year's theme, 'sex in
the 80s,' increased readership almost
300 percent.

is only open to English majors . Actuall y, the staff welcomes anyone who
wants to contribute. The majority of
the staff have majors that are not related to the English program. Hannum is a management/ marketing
major. Taj' s major is management.
Features Editor Scott Davis pursues a
political science major. The staff
emphasi'/.es that the magazine is by
the students and therefore open to
everyone. The only requisite is that a
person be interested in working on
Bloom staff and a dedicated worker.
"The people involved with the
magazine arc very interested. There
isn 't a lot of experience on the staff,
except for Imtiaz who has been with
Bloom for four semesters. Now lhat
the staff has been delegated into different positions, it is more likely that
they will do quality work," said Hannum.
Taj agrees. "Our main goal is to
produce a very professional , highstandard magazine while keeping it
entirely studcnl-run. The staff is
much more organized . They know

what is expected of them and they
deliver."
The biggest problem for Bloom
Magazine is funding. Their allotted
budget is not enough to produce a
magazine each semester that is up to
the staff's standards. To help the situation, advertisement prices have been
increased, and T-shirts with the new
Bloom Magazine logo have been discussed as future fundraisers.
In addition to the new logo, other
magazine improvements include biographical data inserts about each author of printed material. Also, a
"writer's corner" will be included.
This is a small feature that recognizes
BU studen ts, faculty, and alumni that
excel in any kind of creative writing.

remember time turn s many failures
inio successes.
I' ve often asked myself what success is. I mean , is it about being rich
and famous? Success occurs when
you lake life into your hands and can
look back and not be ashamed of your
past, whether you win or lose. Too
often , success is equated wilh "winning " or "making it big." Gran tland
Rice, a coach , once said, "When the
One Great Scorer comes to write
against your name — He marks — not
that you won or lost - but how you
played the game." He was right , because when it comes down to it ,
whether you win or lose, all that
mailers is that you tried .
Trying — that 's what perseverance
is all about. It's the ability to weather
a storm without a raincoat on and still
have hope that a light is at the end of
lhe tunnel.
Teddy Roosevelt once said that life
belongs to the man who is actually in

the arena —whose face is stained by
dust , sweat and blood. Well , after a
week of trying to schedule, I could
fully relate to what Roosevelt meant.
After scheduling, I was in the arena
and down for the count. But something, maybe the fact that my parents
would kill me if I only took six credits,
compelled me to keep trying until I
had a full course load.
And what keeps us from dropping
out of school when we receive low
grades on quizzes and exams? Rationalization — the idea that , "I can 't
do any worse, so I've got to do better
the next time." It's the key to keeping
a sound mind.
The next time you feel alone in your
defeats, just ask others how their
semesters are going. From what I
know, the mid-semester blues are
going around. But remember, keep
plugging away. It's better to be
known as a successful failure, than as
a successful defeatest.

Piglet practical jokes

Glycogen may give added umph'

by Carta Malinak
for The Voice
As athletes, we are trying top find
new ways to improve ourselves and
our performances . Some feel that this
"secret to success" may lie in their
eating habits.
In the past twenty .years, many
coaches and athletes, have become
aware of a method called glycogen or
carbohydrate loading. It is the hope of
these people that they may find a way
to give athletes that little extra bit of
"umph" during a competition.

As you may already know , carbohydrates are the body 's basic energy
producers . Usually carbohydrates are
found in two forms, cither as a sugar or
as a starch. For our purposes we will
onl y concentrate on starches since
they may be a more readily available
source of energy.
When these starches are broken
down for storage , they become known
as gl ycogen , hence the nam e glycogen loading. This glycogen may be
found primarily in the muscles and/or
liver .

Billone wins Roiex
advances to regionais

by Lincoln Weiss
Staff Writer
For the second straight year, a Bloomsburg University tennis
player has taken top honors at the 1987 Rolex Intercolleg iate
Tennis Champ ionshi p. Mark Billone , Bloomsburg 's number one
player was successful in his attempt to capture the title.
Billone, a junior transfer from Batez college and a finance
major , won the East Regional RITC held at Swarthmore College
a few weeks ago.
The Rolex Tournament is an invitational tournament of the
best tennis players in Divisions II, III and NAIA. There are eight
regions, with the winner of each advancing to the finals that will
be held at Minneapolis, Minnesota in February of next year.
Bloomsburg was well represented in the tournament as eight
Bloomsburg players were invited and tliree of them were seeded.
Billone was seeded second , while teammates Roland Lamy and
Lance Milner were seeded 8th and 10th respectively.
Billone then proceeded to beat four seeded players en route to
winning the tournament. He won the final over the number three
seed, Larry Gewer, from Washington College, 6-4, 6-2.
Billone is f rom Stanf ord , CT. He is currently ranked third in
the east and should be around 15th nationall y when the listings
are released. He said he began playing tennis around the age of
ten. "My mom was a big influence," said Billone. "When she was
younger, she was on the tour and ranked 30th in the world."
Billone said he transferred to Bloomsburg because he saw that
their tennis team was ranked. He contacted head coach Burt
Reese and after going trough all the NCAA red tape , visited
Bloomsburg.
Reese hasn 't stopped smiling since.
Billone had a 12-1 record from Bryant College when he transferred Since then , he has compiled a record of 39-19 record at
Bloomsburg.
"He has a super attitude ,"Reese explains. "He is willing to work
on anything that is required. He has become much stronger at the
net and he has more confidence in himself."
Reese said as a result of his dedication , Billone has become a
much better clutch player since arriving at Bloomsburg. "He is
convinced ," Reese concludes, "that these are things lie is going to
have to work at to become a better tennis player."
Upon completing college, Billone hopes to follow in his
mother's footsteps and play on the men 's tour. "If not that ," he
said, " then I'm just going to look for a job on Wall Street."
Whatever this excellent tennis player chooses, he will undoubtedly be as successful as he was at the Rolex Tournament.

Under normal circumstances, the
body would use its fat stores as energy. In recent studies though , it has
been found that the above onl y holds
true during low intensity exercise.
As the body works out at a hi gher
intensity it will begin to reach its
anaerobic th reshold (muscles functioning without oxygen), thus causing
the current supply of oxygen to be
below the demand required by the
body.
It is here lhat the body shifts to a
reliance on carbohydrates . Studies
have shown that carboh ydrates utilize
about .5 kcals more than fats per liter
of oxygen , and it is for this reason why
the body turns to carbohydrates when
excrcixing in a state lhat requires
more oxygen .
Since wc have found that glycogen
is used when more oxygen is required
of the body, hence increasing the
amount of energy available , many
coaches and athletes have concentrated on using this knowledge to their
advantage. From this , glycogen loading was determined .
Glycogen loading is relatively easy

to do. Keep in mind that this should
only be done at the point in the season
when the most important competitions are and you are beginning to
wind down. If you practice this
throughout the season, it may lose
some of its effectiveness.
Also, before an older athlete begins
this type of eating habit, have them
check with their doctor first.

To begin the process, you must first
determine when the big event is and
when you are going to begin to taper,
or ease off. For at least seven days
before the competition you should be
involved in some form of extended ,
exhaustive exercise (usually just
doing your work out will be fine).
At the same time you should be
cutting back drastically on the amount
of carbohydrates you are taking in.
This is not to say that you should cut
them out completely, you need some
in your diet.
However, you don 't need as many
as you are normally used to. What you
are trying lo accomplish here is a
depletion of your current glycogen

levels.
Once you have cut back , you try and
maintain this level for a few days.
Three to four days before the event
you begin to rebuild you r glycogen
stores up. Your largest loading should
be done the night before and the day of
the event.
Since only small amounts of carbohydrates can be absorbed, your body
will put them right to work, allowing
for "instant" energy.
If this is done correctly, you should
feel this little bit of extra "umph." Be
careful though, in a few cases, athletes
have experienced agina (chest pain)
like symptoms. Though their electrocardiograms showed up negative,
later researchers have warned us
about possible side effects.
Remember, this is only an extra
measure one may take, it is jot a supplement for a good, hard work out.
If you have any questions concerning health and sports please send
them to Dr. LeMura in either Nelson
Fietdhouse or her office in Centennial Gym.

got blown out by IUP and they are up
there at 5th . If they (IUP) run well,
they should win it. I think that we have
a decent shot at the top five."
Martucci couldn 't control his thrill

"They ran their hearts out," he said.
"It's just seeing them go from 12th
place four years ago to just one point
short of second this year is great."

If detected early, the cure rate
for colorectal cancer is very high.
It can be as iiigh as 75%.
Because we now know how to
detect it early. And we know how
to fight it once we detect it.
There are three simp le
checkup guidelines for men and
women without symptoms.
One . gel a digital exam every
year. This is recommended for
everyone over 40.
Two, get a stool blood test
every year if you are over 50.
Three , after two initial negative tests one year apart , get a
procto exam every three to five
years if you are over 50.
These guidelines are the best
protection against colorectal
cancer you can have.
If you 're not over 50, please
give this information to friends
and loved ones who are.
In any case, please help spread
the word.
Good news doesn 't always
travel fast.

The loss against Division I Bucknell last week may have been just
enough to convince the Huskies of
their goal this past weekend as the BU
field hockey team swept the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference tournament and claimed their firs t state
championship in three years.
On Friday, top-seeded Bloomsburg
dominated fourth place Shippensburg
in the first game of the tournament.
Shippensburg did not have a single
shot on goal, while the Huskies showered Shi p 's cage with 48.
Bloomsburg also easily out-cornered

the Raiders 25-1.
Cindy Hurst started the offensive
fire for the Huskies with a goal only
two minutes into the game. Susie
Slocum is credited with the assist.
Sharon Rcilly, the team 's lead
scorer, had a goal in the second half to
clinch BU' s chance at the title the next
day.
The second semi-final between
second-seeded Slippery Rock and
third-seeded East Stroudsburg.
East Stroudsburg took the lead in
the first half , but after a fighting penalty on both teams in the second half
Slippery Rock tied the game, forcing
a 10-minute overtime period.
Slippery Rock went on to win the
game 2-1 and create a first and second
seed championship game.
But Saturday did not see the Rockets turn their first appearance at the
state tournament into a championship
title. Slippery Rock 's Marlene Hall
scored with five minutes left in the
game only after Bloomsburg had set
their lead at 3-0.
Reilly struck first for the Huskies off the goalie's pads - as BU dominated the game early.
Reilly 's goal was the only scoring
in the first half. Lynn Hurst, assistant

coach, said, "They came out strong in
the first ten minutes, and then let up.
The game could have been over in the
first half."
The second half was better for the
Huskies. "They pressured the ball in
the circle well," said Hurst, "and had
many scoring opportunities." BU
needed only two more goals to seal
the victory.
Two minutes into the second half,
Alicia Terrizzi took a free hit rigrft
outside the circle before the Slippery
Rock defenders could set up a strong
drive into tlie corner of the cage by
Slocum.
The final goal came from team
captain Cindy Daeche. Off a second
assist by Terrizzi , Daeche got off a
hard drive which sailed between the
goalie's legs.
Bloomsburg outshot S lippery Rock
27-12 and out-cornered them 10-5.
BU goalie Lori Shelly had eight
saves, while Rocket Judy Johns
managed 14.
The Huskies now look to match this
championship with an NCAA title.
The site of the first round (regionais)
will be determined today and played
this Friday and Saturday.
