The American Cancer Society will broadcast its fourth annual Telethon of Hope live on cable Channel 13 from Troiani's restaurant in
Berwick and Bloomsburg University's McCormick Human Services
Center.
Cooridnator of the telethon , MaryAnn Coveleskie, said thcta is "no
real financial goal" for this year's telethon , however its purpose is
more "prevention throug h education." Shesaid "If wecansave onelife
through educating people, that's our goal."
Tins years telethon will future a variety of entertainment , including
stars from the T Vsoap opera Loving, 12 hours of live bands, and local
talent such as the lip-synching group, God Squad.
Another attraction, new to the telethon this year, is the Bachelor
Auction. Coveleskie said there will be 15 to Z0 eligible bachelors and
bacheloreltes to bid on for a date. BU senior Kevin Coyle will be one
of them.
Coyle, who became actively involved in the telethon severa l years
ago, will be an anchorman during the telethon , keeping viewers informed of what is happening.
<4 lfeel it's a chance to donate some time to a very good cause,"Coyle
said about the telethon.
Coyle added he believes the only way to the experience the full effects
of the telethon , one must go to the place it is being held and take in all
of the activity,
"The people all around know they are fighting a battle, but people
¦with cancer are fighting an even worse one,"he said.
According to Coveleskie, the Cancer Society hopes to get
Bloomsburg University more actively involved hi the telethon. Coveleskie, who also works at Benton radio station B-%, said that the station
is offering disc jockey services for a dance to the BU fraternity,
sorority or residence hall that raises the most money for the telethon .

A Bloomsburg University graduate
was dismissed from his news position
at a local TV station for allegedly
leaking information about a state
police raid on suspected beer parties.
David Burian , 23, a May 1987
graduate who started at WNEP as an
intern and has been a full-time employee at the station for one and a half
months, said he believes he was dismissed from the news department of
WNEP because he called a girlfriend
and released "priviledged information."
Although Burian declined to say
what he told the person, he said , "The
fact that I talked to her created enough
suspicion."
According to a story in the PressEnterprise, state liquor control enforcement officials had contacted
area television stations about covering a state police raid on two sus-

pected party spots in Bloomsburg.
Tom Lyon, state police public relations director, said the WNEP reporter learned about the raid and had
only intended to warn his girlfriend to
stay away from any parties. A task
force of about 30 officers had mobilized for the raids, but they were
thwarted when the girl spread the
word of the word of police's plans, a
state police official told the PressEnterprise.
WNEP News Director Paul Stueber
said the newsman admitted he made
the call and was fired immediately
after police learned of the leak and

told station officials. A spokesman at
WNEP confirmed last night that
Burian no longer worked at the station.
"I admitted that I talked to a girlfriend ," Burian said, "but I know I
didn 't say anything about a raid." He
added that he believes he was dismissed from WNEP because he released "privileged information " to a
"private person."
"This is real serious stuff ," Stueber
said in a Press-Enterprise interview.
"There is no more serious breech of
journalistic ethics than to betray information given in confidence.

We're very sorry it happened ."
"I still have friendl y relation s with
(WNEP)," Burian said. "I'm sort of
hesitant to comment because of the
possibility of working in the field
again. As far as pursuing a career at
the station , I don 't think they will let
me back in."
"We didn 't think something like
this would ever come up, so we don 't
tell someone like a recent university
graduate about something that is so
basic to journalism ," Stueber said. "It
would be like reminding someone to
roll up their car window before going
through a car wash."

Abortion myths dispelled

To the Editor:
In Ms. Furedi's letter to the editor of
11/2 she promotes some common
myths about abortion that must be
dispelled.
The first myth is that unwanted
pregnancies lead to child abuse. It has
been proven that most victims of child
abuse were "wanted" pregnancies. It
has also been proven that if a child is
"unwanted" during the fi rst few
months of pregnancy, this does not
mean it will be unwan ted when born.
If Ms. Furedi's reasoning held true,
child abuse should have gone down
since 1973 because we would already
have gotten rid of the "unwanted"
children . Instead , child abuse has
risen. Once our society accepted violence as the answer to the problem of
the unborn , it was very easy for it to
extend violence to those already born.
The second myth is that most abortions are performed for rape or incest.
Of the 1.8 million abortions performed in the United States each year,
2 percent are for those reasons. The

Dormitory blues not part of college dorm

by David Ferris
Staff Troublemaker
Lately I've been hearing a lot of
complaints about living in the dormitories. Bomb threats, fire alarm s,
rabid roommates, the usual assortment. This all sounds familiar to me.
Things weren't much different when I
lived in the dorms.
I have never had the pleasure of
living in a college dorm , but I lived in
dorms, or more properly barracks,
throughout my military career.
Superficially they were much the
same as the hallowed halls of hysteria
on BUP. Closer examination , however, reveals some profound differences.
One specific instance of a closer
examination was the yearly CFI inspection. Nobody knew what CFI
really stood for, although one of my
fellow squaddies insisted it was an
abbreviation for "See If I (care)".
These inspections could make or
break a unit commander. A spoUess
barracks might mean a promotion for
the junior officer in charge, while a
non-spotless barracks might mean
shame and degradation and an assignment to Fort Blecch, West Dakota.
The commander was therefore inclined to be closely involved in the
preparations for said inspection ,
which was important because no one
else cared one way or the other.
For several days before the arrival
of the CFI team , each and every dorm
occupant was obliged to spend his
free time scrubbing anything he could
conceivably scrub, including reluctant roommates. Dozens of men

dressed in T-shirts and fatigue trousers filled the hallways, rubbing
imaginary smudges from the walls to
placate the commander , who paced
constantly in search of shirkers.

Occasionally he too would drop to
his knees, whip out an embroidered
handkerchief , and attempt to wipe up
a quarter-inch boot scuff that had been
buried under fifteen layers of floor
wax.
All this time he could be heard muttering under his breath , apparently
concerned about the horrible fishing
conditions in West Dakota.
I soon learned how to deal with
these inspections. While the hallways
and public conveniences were scrutinized by senior officers who seemed
able to spot bacteria at ten yards under
normal lighting conditions, the individual rooms were only briefly
scanned. As long as the door frame
was free of dust and the refrigerator
seal clean, the inspection team was
content.
Distraction was the name of the
game. Nearly every room in the dorm
had all four walls covered with pornographic posters and fold-outs. Some
obscure regulation stated that no genitalia could be displayed in dormitory
rooms, so for the duration of the inspection the occupants would tape
little white paper scraps over the appropriate places.
It was amusing to watch field grade
officers peeking under these small

censoring bits. What they were checking for , I' ve never known.
As I mentioned in a previous column , I am a gentleman. My room was
one of the few not adorned with abundant anatomy. I instead chose to coat
my walls with three-view scale technical drawings of tanks and aircraft.
This did not succeed in distracting the
inspectors, but it did keep me from
having to clean the walls.
I had my own techniques of diversion. I had easily the largest collection
of model kits on base. The inspection
teams were generally so boggled by
the rows and rows of plastic panzers
that they neglected to look at the refrigerator seal.
Furniture was another important
part of the misdirection process. Every year we were treated to miscellaneous items of brand new furnishings,
right before the big inspection .
I suppose the theory behind this was
that a shiny new coffee table in each
room might hide the fact that the
building should have been condemned thirty years ago.
One year the powers that be provided our dorm with an entire set of
new furniture for every room. They
did not assemble the new fixtures,
they merely deposited the shelf units,
desks, and cabinets, still in cardboard
boxes, in the hallways outside each
door the night before the inspection.
Dorm dwellers, whether military
enlisteds or civilian collegiates, tend
to be a bit lacking when it comes to
initiative. We were no exception. The
next morning found the furniture assembled and installed in the rooms,

but the hallways were heaped to
waist-level with empty boxes and
packing paper.
Perspiring clean-up crews and frantic junior officers spent most of the
day finding places to discard the
masses of cardboard , as most of the
dorm occupants had long since left for
work.
We did, however, find the energy
for one operation on that hecticnight.
Upon opening our boxes we found our
furniture was trimmed in lemon yellow. A quick vote determined that
such a vivid shade was unmanly, so
we launched a commando raid on the
upper floor , which was populated by
the security police squadron. They
had gotten blue furniture but had not
bothered to unpack any of it yet.
Imagine, if you will, ten men
dressed in fatigues, armed only with
hooded flashlights, sneaking between
three dormitory floors at midnight,
carrying partially assembled cabinet
doors, desk tops, and drawer faces.
We took apart our yellow pieces and
carried them upstairs. We then
opened the furniture boxes destined
for the security policemen, removed
the blue pieces from their fixtures, and
substituted the yellow.

Back down the stairs and our furniture was reassembled with blue trim.
All this was done in shifts , an entire
floor 's worth , over a period of about
three hours. To the best of my knowledge, no one outside our floor ever
noticed the switch.
Dorm life is quite an experience.
You don't have inspections or regula-

Falwell resigns post as
Moral Maj ority leader
by John Dart

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Fundamentalist leader Jerry Falwell announced Tuesday that he is resigningas president of Moral Majority
and Liberty Federation, thus continuing a pullback from
politics he had begun before getting sidetracked this year
by thePTL scandal.
"There is no need now for Jerry Falwell to walk point
and be the lightning rod," he said, referring to the controversial organization that led the 1979-1980 rise of the
politically oriented Religious Right. "Sometimes you
get tired of being the lightning rod."
Falwell named businessman Jerry Nims, the chief
executive officer for Falwell's ministries, as his successor at the two lobbying organizations.
"I am now rededicating my life to the preaching of the
gospel," Falwell told a news conference in Washington.
He added , however, that he would not stop "crying out"
against what he sees as moral evils. And, he said, he will
continue his support of Vice President George Bush' s
quest for the Republican presidential nomination.
Although his large church , television network and
Liberty University - all in Lynchburg, Va. - appear to be
doing well financially, Falwell has indicated that day-today political activities lessen opportunities to expand his
ministries.
Falwell, 54, has said repeatedly that by early next
century he wants his 7,500-student Liberty University to
be a 50,000-student fundamentalist equivalent to the
Catholic-run Notre Dame University arid the Mormonrun Brigham Young University. "Jerry wants to leave

this as his legacy,' said University of Virginia sociologist
Jeffrey Hadden, who has chronicled the fortunes of television evangelists.
Falwell launched the Moral Majority in 1979 amid a
nationwide resurgence of the conservative Christian involvement in political issues. The Moral Majority took
major credit - disputed by others - for electing Ronald
Reagan to the presidency in 1980 through voter registration
drives and campaigns decrying abortion , pornography and
the absence of prayer in public schools.
ButFalwelt and the Moral Majority also became synonymous in critics' minds with anything odious deriving from
fundamentalist preachers or the Religious Right.

rules and predicted by Billboard
magazine to be the "music of the
future".
Bloomsburg University began a
progressive rock station at WBUQ
about two years ago. It was started as
an alternative to Bloomsburg
University's classic rock station ,
WBSC. According to Raquel Alvarado, music director of WBUQ , record
sales and music surveys showed that
college students were interested in
progressive music. Bloomsburg was
starting an FM station and decided to
go with that format. It was new,
youth-oriented and experimental.
Alvarado says that according to the
Arbitron ratings (which measure a
station 's listenership), the progressive station has been successful on
campus and in the local community.
"People like music that is unique and
fun to listen to - progressive rock is the
music of today and tommorow," says
Alvarado.
Marie Spengel, a BU student , disagrees with Alvarado. Spengel says

progressive music is too radical for
this campus. This type of music belongs at a less conservative school
like Penn or Drcxcl - it is too futuristic
for today."
Lau Groner, also a BU student,
likes classic rock belter than progressive rock and wishes both stations
would merge to become an FM classic rock. Groner says, "The FM station would have more listeners if it
changed its format."
However, some students on campus do like progressive rock. BU students Marybedi Millspaugli, Lisa
Todd and Nina LibertcIIa like the
progressive station as it is. "We enjoy
the groups they play, like The Cure,
U2, Suzanne Vega and Crowded
House."
Progressive rock is a new form of
music being introduced to both col lege and experimental radio stations.
Although opinions vary on progressive rock's popularity , it does add
more variety to the diverse music
market of the 80s. .

to scholars and earnest students.
Still , there is a genuinely puzzling
passion to "The Helga Pictures" that
anyone ought to be able to feel , and
the real measure of their strength is
how consistently they resist scholarly
dissection.
It is helpful to note that Wyelh's
beloved dry brush techni que - in
which watcrcolor is applied with a
brush squeezed of most moisture, for
a richness of detail - reflects his deep
admiration for the dry brush nature
studies of Albrccht Durer in the 16th
century.
And we should be aware of the
homage to Edouard Manet , whose
immortal 1863 study of a French
proslitutc, "Olympia," is echoed here
by Wyeth in the pose and flesh-contrasting velvet neckband he has Helga
assume in "Black Velvet."
The effects he is most noted for are
typicall y melodramatic and forced:
the figure against overscaled natural
forms (great phallic tree trunks, or
steep hills with trees sprouting like
accents at the top of the painting); the
window views that make symbolic
commentary on Hclga's sleep-world.
And in at least two watercolors in
which she is crunched in the lower
right corner, observing autumn or

winter scenes, she seems all but superfluous to Wyeth 's persuasive rendering of light on weathered wood , a
gunmetal sky, his impressionistic
foliage and Homerlike accents of
bright watercolor.
The best works are the formal,
clothed portraits, in which all the
soap-opera aspects of the relationship, not to mention our voyeurism ,
are subsumed in more rigorous studies of human complexity. In "The
Prussian ," or the emblematic
"Braids" - as well in at least one nude,
the tightly composed "Letting Her
Hair Down" - Wyeth confronts us
with texture, focus and psychological
portraitureworth y of the comparisons
to Durer, if not Rembrandt.
If the artist's obsession with his
model is the engine that fuels the
public 's obsession with these images,
in the final tally it is distance and
painterly control that triumph over
the flesh.

Gun safety is carefu l, common sense

by Martha Hartman
Staff Writer

Editor 's Note: This is the first of a
three-part series on hunting safely.
When can the pleasure and excitement of a hunting trip turn to tragedy?
Invariably when adequate precautions are ignored.
Several years ago, a red-headed
young man took a break from his
hunting by sitting down on the ground
and leaning back against a rock. His
friend , who ahd also been hunting,
sighted a red fox - through a scope and assumed he was seeing the back
of a red fox. He aimed , fired, and
consequently blew the top of his best
friend's head off.
As tragic as that is, both young men
were at fault. The first should have
been wearing a hat, preferably one in
flourescent orange; the second should
have discussed what territory each
was going to cover before they separated and went in different directions.
In short, the tragedy would have
been prevented if each man had used
a little common sense - common
sense that begins with education and
planning ahead.
Dr. Ray Keller, an emergency room

ph ysician at Geisinger Medical Center, said, "Most hunting related accidents could be prevented if people
would use common sense. That, and
be highl y visible."
Wildlife Conservation Officer,
Stephen Smilhonic, agreed. Said
Smithonic, "Most of what we teach in
our hunter safety program is really
common sense. And since the program became mandatory for firsttime hunters , accidents have steadily
decreased."
The hunter safety program became
mandsatory for first-time hunters ,
ages 12 through 16, in 1969. But , in
1982, it became mandatory for all
first-time hunters regardless of their
ages. This program has been so successful that since 1969, the Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that
accidents have decreased by 350
annual ly.
In fact, the report for 1986 shows
the lowest number of fatalities since
records were first kept in 1915.
"The two most importan t things
that have happened , " said Smithonic,
"are the hunter safety program and the
laws concerning flourescent orange."
Wearing flourescent orange is so

important that the state now requires
hunters to wear 250 square inches compared to 100 square inches last
year - as will as a flourescent orange
hat for hunting deer, bear, and woodchuck.
"Il should be worn by all hunters at
all times," said Smithonic. "Turkey
season is one of our worst seasons because hunters don 't wear enough
orange."
According to the PA Game
Commission , accidents during the
1986 turkey season, spring and fall ,
equals the number of accidents which
occurred during the 1986 deer season,
and includes one fatality .
The PA Game Commission 's report also shows that the majority of all
accidents occurduring broad daylight
and in clear weather; most victims are
in the line of fire and are mistaken for
game; and most offenders arc over the
age of 21 and have an average of 14
years hunting experience.
Also, most accidents occur in
woodlands; shotgun wounds are
nearly twice as common as rifle
wounds; and most wounds are inflicted by others rather than self-inflicted.

Although the number of wounds
inflicted by others is almost 3 times as
high as that for self-inflicted, the PA
Game Commission 's report lists the
causes of many accidents as: "Hunter
slipped and/or fell; hunter dropped
sporting arm; ricochet; and accidental
discharge."
Accidents also occur with bow and
arrow, and, according to Smithonic ,
"when hunters fall off tree stands."
Geisinger's ER physician, Dr.
Keller, explains, "More than accidents, we see victims of heart attacks
and chest pains. People overexert
themselves. And , we see exposure,
such as frostbite, occasionally."
"Exposure" usually results when
hunters dress inadequatel y for
weather conditions and/or become
lost.
According to Smithonic, about
three groups per year become lost in
the Columbia County area. "Last
year," said Smithonic, "a man from
out of state got lost and panicked.
When I found him , he was incoherent.
It was as though he were in a state of
shock. I never would have believed
that could happen to a person if I
hadn 't seen it for myself."

you thank them or put a hit out on
them?"
Which , of course, is what gol his
character in trouble in the first place.
The story opens four years ago,
with the Nelson character, Joe Hunt ,
organizing the Billionaire Boys Club,
a group made up of well-off young
men from prominen t Los Angelesarea families. The idea was to have a
social club of peers thai also made
tons of money - very quickly.
It was to be made any which way
they could, legally or not; stock deals,
fast-track commodities schemes.
But things gotoutofhand when one
group member, Ronald Levin, set up
a phony commodities account that
threatened the club with financial
ruin.
Hunt took revenge, in the form of
murder.
He was sentenced last July to life
without parole for killing Levin in
1984. Levin 's body was never found.
To complicate things further, Hunt
and two other club members are
awaiting trial in the 1984 killing of the
father of one of the defendants in the
first trial.

Somehow, Nelson seems to fit the
part. "I've played a juvenile delinquent in 'The Breakfast Club' and a
yuppie in 'St. Elmo 's Fire,' " he said.
"Hunt was a scholarship kid - in a
way, he was from the other side of the
tracks compared with the other members of the club."
After finishing "Billionaire Boys
Club" Nelson is scheduled to go to the
Soviet Union to meet Russian actors
and directors and to produce a video
under the auspices of the organizations SANE and FREEZE.
The idea is to show the tape in high-

school classrooms, with Nelson touring to introduce it.
Beyond that , he is not specific
about what lies ahead . He 's 27, a bit
old to go on play ing the role of the
brat. He is unmarried - "No brushes
with death yet."
But who knows what acting mi ght
lead to?
"This career might be a stepping
stone to the governorship of California , and then to the presidency," he
said.
"There 's a precedent , and it 's been
done by lesser men."

Giants becoming champions at choking

Bloomsburg Huskies practice before last weeks football victory over Slippery Rock.

Huskies must face
tough pass defense

Bloomsburg University quarterback Jay DeDea will be out to set the
all-time Pennsylvania Conference
passing yardage record against a talented secondary this Saturday, Nov.
7, when the Bloomsburg University
football team travels to Kutztown.
The contest is set for 1:30 p.m. in the
Golden Bears' University Field.
The Huskies downed Slippery
Rock, 24-23, last week to up their
overall record to 6-3 and insure the
school's fifth consecutive non-losing
season, while Kutztown lost to Millersville, 17-12.
The Golden Bears are 3-5 overall
and, like the Huskies, are 3-2 in the
Pennsylvania Conference Eastern
Division .
The two teams battled for third
place a year ago and scored a 7-7 tie to
finish at 3-2-1 in the division in a
deadlock behind West Chester and
Millersville.

Cornerback Bruce Linton knocked
down a two-point conversion pass
with 4:18 left in the game to preserve
the Huskies' victory at Slippery Rock
last week.
Bloomsburg overcame a 17-7 deficit in the contest and scored the gamewinning touchdown on a six-yard
pass form Jay DeDea to reserve runningback Eric Spreece .with 7:03
remaining in the contest.
Kutztown has made tremendous
improvement over the past several
weeks and , despite causing 10 Millersville turnovers, lost for the first
time in its last four outings.
The Golden Bears lost their first
four games before winning three in a
row prior to Millersville.
This is the 41st meeting between
the teams with Bloomsburg holding a
21-18 edge in the series. The only tie
occurred in the rain at Redman Stadium last year.

McGwire is top AL rookie

by Steve Marcus
Ne wsday
There was never any doubt , not the
least. By a unanimous vote, the Baseball Writers Association of America
named Oakland Athletics first baseman Mark McGwire American
League Rookie of the Year.
"Awesome," is TOW McGwire reacted to the announcement. Awesome is h ow he played in his initial
season.
McGwire hil49 home runs, shattering the rookie record of 38, held
jointly by Wally Bergcr of the 1930
Boston Braves and Frank Robinson
of the 1956 Cincinnati Reds. No
wonder all 28 voters made McGwire
only the second unanimous selection
in the 40-ycar history of the award.
Carlton Fisk of the Boston Red Sox
was the first , in 1972.
McGwire's selection marked the
firs t time since 1958-59. when Washing ton s Albie Pearson and Bob
Allison won back-to-back rookie
honors , that players from the same
American League team won the
award in consecutive seasons. Jose
Canseco, also a home run hitter , was
the 1986 recipient.
McGwire received 140 points to 64
for the runner-up, third baseman
Kevin Seitzer of the Kansas City
Royals. Catcher Matt Nokes of the
Detroit Tigers placed third with 32.
Typical of most ,,home runs hitters ,
McGwire said that he never thought
about how many he could or would
hit. "I don 't even think about it," he
said. "I've never even put myself in
the position where I thought I would
lead the American League in home
runs." McGwire tied the Chicago
Cubs' Andre Dawson for the majorleague homer lead while driving in
118 runs and batting .289.

McGwire gave up a chance to go for
his 50th homer in the final game o f
the season to be with his wife, Kath y,
as she gave birth to their first child.
"When I hit 49, 1 really started thinking," he said. "I thought it wOuld be
really neat to hit 50. Ever since Matthew was born , I' ve been telling
people that was my 50th home run of
the season."
McGwire, a 6-5, 225-pound righthanded hitter , began the season plato
oning at first base with Rob Nelson , a
left-handed power prospect. But
Nelson struck out in 12 of his fi rst 24
at-bats, was optioned to Tacoma ,
Wash., and eventually was traded to
the Padres.
McGwire homered five times and
drove in seven runs in a three-game se
rics May 8-10 at Detroit. On June 2728 at Cleveland , McGwire tied a
major-league record when he hit five
homers in two games and scored nine
runs.
"Guys with average talent gel hot
and they gel five or six hits over a
couple games," Athletics Manager
Tony LaRussa said. "A guy with talent like this , when he gets hot , boy!"
The Royals ' Seitzer would have
won in any other year. He became the
1 3th rookie to reach the 200-hit mark ,
finishing with 207. The last time it
happened was 1964, when the Minnesota Twins ' Tony Oliva had 217
hits and the Philadelphia Phillies '
Richie Allen had 201. Seitzer also
had 15 homers, 83 RBI and a .323
average.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman
Jack Clark topped a list of eight players who filed for free agency Tuesday. But Clark, who missed the playoffs and World Series with a severe
ankle injury, has every intention of
re-signing with the Cardinals. Others

declaring were Len Barker of the Milwaukee Brewers, Mike Davis of the
Athletics, Gary Matthews of the Seatde Mariners, Charlie Lea of the
Expos and Danny Darwin , Dave
Smith and Larry Andersen of the
Houston Astros.

If past performances are any indication of what is going to happen , the
Bloomsburg University field hockey
team has a good chance to win its third
national tide in the last five years.The
Jan Hutchinson-coached Huskies
open play in this year's national event
on Friday, Nov. 6, facing Ohio
Weslcyan in a noon contest at Sli ppery Rock. The host Rockets meet
Calvin (Mich.) College in the Eastern
Rcgional's other semifinal at 2 p.m.
with the championship game slated
for 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.
When the Huskies won national
crowns in 1983 and 1984, they preceded each championship with a
Pennsylvania conference (PC) title.
Last weekend, the 1987 unit took care
of the first part of the package when
the young Huskies downed Shippensburg (2-0) and Slippery Rock (31) to claim top honors in the PC tour s
nament.
The Huskies powerful display in
the conference semifinals was indicative of the team's play throughout the
season. Bloomsburg outshot the Red
Raiders 48-0 in the contest and continuall y pelted the Shippensburg cage
until Cindy Hurst 's goal with 1:35 left
in the first half got the team on the

Are we to infer from all this that
Paterno, who has preached on every
subject from the closing of the American mind to the evils of commercialism , does not consider himself the
savior of college athletics?
"Savior?"he winced."At my age, you
just try to hobble out to the field."
At a time when college athletics is
thought to be in rags and some schools

face sentences of 40 years to life for
their transgressions, it is logical that
Paterno should be seized on as a
model, even a genius. He has never
had a losing season at Penn State,
where he has coached six undefeated
teams and amassed a 205-46-2 record, been to 16 bowl games, and
graduated 86 percent of his players see PATERNO page 7

Paterno trying to shake 'St. Joe 1 image

by Sally Jenkins
The Washington Post
Joe Patcmo is sick of Joe Patemo.
He is beset by magazine covers of Joe
Paterno the serious intellectual , pursued by life-size cardboard cutouts of
Joe Paterno the dapper Ivy Leaguer,
chased by the bespectacled visage of
Joe Paterno, righteous spokesman
and savior of college athletics. "What
I'd really like to get away from ," he
said, "is Joe Paterno."
It is a source of considerable irritation to Joe Paterno that after 38 years
of conspicuously defying style, he
suddenly has become the hippest
dresser in the business. He is a certain
cut of suit , a pair of thick tortoiseshell glasses, a frayed letter sweater,
all the circa 1940s things thatmightbe
found in a secondhand store. Yuppies
are chic, so are the Marines; Paterno
and Penn State are a little bit of both.
Paterno 's years of crusading for
hi gher standards in college football
came to a climax in last year 's national championship Fiesta Bowl ,
when his underdog and neatl y
groomed Nittany Lions defeated a
loud and loudly clad Miami team.
With his second national title in five
years, he was named coach of the
year, Sports Illustrated's sportsman
of the year, and the It Guy.
But not long before, Miami Coach
Jimmy Johnson had mockingly labeled him "St. Joe." That summed up
the considerable growing sentiment
that Paterno was protesting too loud
and too long about the failures of
other college programs. He was
called holier than thou; Penn State
was dubbed the goody-goodies. So it
is typical of Paterno that just as he

becomes fashionable at 60 years of
age, he is trying to get out of fashion
again , and fleeing his own image.
"Everybody thinks I'm obnoxious,"he said."I think I'm obnoxious.
My wife thinks I'm obnoxious. Because we were successful, and because I shot my mouth off, we got this
reputation."
With his usual discernment, and
also a dogged commitment to realism,
Paterno knows that a too-exalted
reputation can be as dangerous as a
bad one. His objection s to recent
characterizations come from the conviction that a little common sense
should not be treated as brilliance, and
also perhaps from a yearning in his
38th season at Penn State to become
again what he once was: a regular guy
from Brooklyn with a little bit of
temper, who once hit his brother with
a rake. According to Paterno, it is time
to demystify the legend.
The Nittany Lions (6-2) already
have done some demystifying for
him , by having an on-and-off year
with losses to No. 13 Alabama and
No. 8 Syracuse. They are not in the
running for another national championship, and are seeking any bowl bid
at all when they meet Maryland Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Under those circumstances,
Paterno perhaps is wise to remain
quiet.
"I don 'tknow how clean we are,"he
said. "If you said to me, 'Are you
clean?' I would have to answer, 'I
don 't know.' Is there someone out
there giving a kid clothes or something? All I can say is we do everything we can to run it as clean as
possible."

The Blopmsburg University ice
hockey team opened its season with
an impressive 5-3 victory over the
Bears of Wilkes-Barre. The Huskies,
despite only having one week of practices to prepare for their opener,
looked very strong through the first
two periods.
After a scoreless first period, the
Huskies came out storming in the
second, getting two straight goals
from the third line, who worked very
hard all night. Both goals were scored
by Jim Kortnic, his first was unassisted and his second was assisted by
Pete Valli and scrappy Bob Weiss.
But as fast as BU gained that lead,
they saw it dwindle to a 2-2 tie midway through the period.
By the periods end, the Huskeis
managed to net the go ahead goal at
13:02 when John Ford dumped the
puck behind the net and T. J. Joyner

dug it out to feed a wide open Tom
Barbush who lofted the puck into the
top corner.
Going into the final period with a 32 lead, the Huskies seemed a little
sluggish but was still able to widen th&
margin to 4-2 on an Allan Filiault
unassisted goal at 5:42. But the Bears
refused to give up and pushed BU to
their limit when they came within one
wiht 4:13 left in the game.
With 1:02 left, the Bears pulled
their goalie for a man advantage up
front and to put a little pressure on
Bloomsburg goalie, Mike Donchez,
who turned away 16 of WilkesBarre 's 19 shots.
With an open net to shoot at, Barbush, the first line right winger, fed a
lead pass to the freshman center T. J.
Joyner who had to beat a Bear defenseman to the puck to net the insurance open-net goal and preserve the
Huskies first victory in as many
games.

Women s cross
country hits 19th

The Bloomsburg University women 's cross country team has appeared in the NCAA Division II rankings for the first time in the history
of the sport at the school. Coach Tom Martucci's squad, which finished
third in the recent Pennsylvania Conference (PC) Championships, was
rated in the 19th position in the latest poll released this week.
The Huskies used solid grouping to register their highest finish ever
at the conference race and will travel to the NCAA Northeast Regionals at Bryant College in Smithfield, Rhode Island, this Saturday, Nov .
7. Indiana (Pa.) won the PC title with 48 points followed by Edinboro,
which finished only one point ahead of the Huskies with 73 points in the
race. The conference champions are rated fifth in the poll.
Brenda Bisset has been the team 's highest placer in every race this
season and recorded an eighth-place showing in the PC event. Her time
of 19:38 over the 5000 meter course at East Stroudsburg was one of only
12 clockings of less than 20 minutes in the race. Bloomsburg's second
finisher , Laurie Alexander, also eclipsed that standard with a time of
19:46 to finish in 10th position.
