Stock collapse creates new U.So theme

by Jonathan Peterson

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Buried in the many chronicles of
the recent stock market collapse is a
humbling new theme about the
United States' role in the world: It is
dependent upon forei gn countries in
ways that are novel and disturbing for
a superpower.
These concerns, arising from persistent budget deficits and the
nation 's habit of buying far more
from other countries than it sells to
them , are reflected in a weakening
dollar that has become a disruptive
force in financial relations throughout
the world. They have reduced
America's stature from a nation that
lends money to one that borrows it.
But the dollar's fall may spark a
change that is more than economic,
one with historic implications. With
the currency at its lowest point since
World War II, an event that catapulted
this country into world economic
supremacy, many observers now
question whether that pre-eminence
is ending and the current difficulties
signal a new era of waning U.S. political, social and economic influence
throughout the world.
The sagging dollar reduces the real
value of U.S. foreign aid for many
countries. It forces up the cost of
maintaining a far-flung military presence. And it sparks continuing concerns that foreign countries will back
away from their U.S. investments,
which this country now requires in
order to stay solvent.
In addition , the need for a continual
flow of foreign investment in Treasury securities makes the United States
much more beholden to foreign confidence in its policies than before.

When foreigners worry about protectionism in Congress, for example, the
American public now pays for it in the
form of higher interest rates.
And when administration officials
attempt to convince other nations to
adopt certain policies, to stimulate
their own economies, for example ,
they must overcome the perception
that the United States docs not have
the right to make such recommendations, because its own economic
house is so obviously in need of repair.
"The Reagan administration is one
of the final chapters in American influence abroad ," argues Harvard
economist John Kenneth Galbrailh.
"No question. We're going to sec that
in a dozen different ways."
While man y would consider that
indictmen t too severe, the point is
made somewhat differently by Robert
Dunn Jr., an economics professor at
George Washington University: "It's
a little hard for anyone to take us
seriously at the moment when we owe
the rest of the world 400 billion
bucks."
There are, of course, profound differences between this country and the
debt-ridden Third World clients of
the International Monetary Fund. The
United States remains wealth y and a
magnet for investors throughout the
world. Unlike other debtor nations , it
has the privilege of repaying loans in
its own currency, which remains
enormously influential. It leads the
world in the creation of jobs and still
ranks as the stronge'st country on
Earth.
But at the same time other economies now compete with the United
States for world leadership, and . in

Forensic team takes
third in tournament
by Missi Menapace
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg Forensic Society
took third place at the Collegiate
Forensic Association Fall Tournament at Geneva College, Beaver Falls
last weekend. Ten schools competed
in the annual speech tournament.
Five Bloomsburg competitors each
placed in at least two events.
Evelyn Thompson , who brought
home trophies in five events, was
third in Pentalthlon. Mary Pelack
received a Certificate of Excellence
in Pentathlon.
The Thompson and Pelack combined for sixth place in Dramatic Duo,
the oral interpretation of a selection
from a play. Thompson won third
place in Single Dramatic Interpretation, in which one person presents all
the characters of a selection. Pelack
placed fourth this catagory.
Pelak placed sixth in both humorous oral interpretation , and poetry,

the interpretation of a poem or selection of poems around a common
theme. Thompson was second in
prose interpretation. Mary Ellen
Spisak placed sixth in prose.
James Barksdale placed second in
after dinner speaking, a humorous
speech with a serious point.
Barksdale also placed fourth in
extemporaneous speaking and sixth
in informative speaking. Expemporaneous speakers are given 30 minutes
to prepare a seven minute speech on a
current events topic. Missi Menapace
was second in extemporaneous
speech and second in informative
speaking. Barksdale placed sixth .
BU had three students place in impromptu speaking in which , a speaker

deliver a speech on a philosophic
quotation. Spisak placed second,
Barksdale fifth and Thompson sixth
in philosophic, quotation.

some respects have eclipsed it. These
developments have imp lications for
future standards of living, defense
obligations , how the nation is seen by
its rivals and by its own citizens.
Consider: Last year , West Germany led the world in exports , the
first time the United Suites finished
second in this category in the postwar
era, according to the Department of
Commerce. Germany exported S243
billion worth of autos , machinery,
chemicals and other products. The
United States barely clung to second
place, with S217 billion in cxporLs:
just ahead of hard-charg ing Japan m
S211 billion.
The nation also has lost ground as a
financial power. In a survey of the
world' s largest banks by the American Banker , a trade newspaper , no
U.S. bank ranked in the top 10 in
1986. Onl y one, Citibank of New
York , ranked in the top 25. Each of the
scvcn ' largcst banks in the world was
Japanese.
In 1985, the amount of private investment in the United Stales exece
ded the amount of U.S. invesunent
abroad. That has not happened since
1914, according to the Department of
Commerce.
Since earl y 1985, U.S. officials
have reasoned that the nation 's selfinterest was in a cheaper dollar. The
idea has been that it would make U.S.
goods cost less than the forei gn competition. And while there have been
some encourag ing signs that U.S.
manufacturers mi ght benefit from the
trend , the lower-valued dollar is

The Bloomsburg Chapter of the
American Red Cross will operate a
Bloodmobile Wednesday and Thursday this week in the Kehr Union ,
beginning 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
each day.
Trained nurses, Red Cross volunteers and BU student nurses will be
administering blood testing prior to
blood collection of students and faculty members, while also encouraging more to donate.
"I wouldn 't say that we are having
a blood crisis or emergency," said
Darlene Weidner, executive director
of the Bloomsburg Chapter of the
American Red Cross, "but the need
for blood is becoming greater and
greater."
Weidner attributes the decline in
blood donation during the past year to
the AIDS scare and also sheer apathy
of people.
She said she believes possible donors shy away from giving blood
because they are frightened of contacting AIDS from the epidermic
needle used in the proce'dure. Yet,
Weidner stresses, the needles are new
and sterile. They are used once and
incinerated.
Another factor in the decline in
blood donauon , according to Weidner , is an uncaring attitude. "People
are always looking for a gimmick.
They want to know 'what 's in it for
me?' "
To attract more donors , the
Bloomsburg Chapter gave out pizza
slices, in conjunction with Domino 's
Pizza , to blood donors at an area hi gh
school. The drive resulted in one of
the highest turnouts ever, Weidner
reported.
"But we don 't want to do (donor
rccruilcmcnt) that way-—gimmicking
people the way McDonald' s does—
because we're not selling food , we're
saving lives, " she added.
Every day 410 pints must be collected in "order to keep patients
healthy in 43 local hospitals. The Red
Cross serves 21 areas in this region ,
totalling to 1.5 million people.
Generally, the level of blood donating has sustained over the past years,
but the Bloomsburg chapter staff
remembers the 1960's as being a
generous period for blood giving.
Weidner said , "People fel t a real need
to aid the injured in the Vietnam
War." BU students donated close to
500 pints a day.

by foreigners , will occur . By plunging this nation into a steep recession,
such a move would also harm Japan
and other countries that rely on an
affluent American public to buy their
products.
But the consequences of the weak
dollar and the big debts affect
America 's relations with other countries in very real ways. Secretary of
the Treasury James A. Baker III has
tried without much success, for example , to convince the Germans and
Japanese to promote economic
growth , so they will buy more American goods.
"There 's this long-held view that
the real problems arc made in Washington , not Bonn or Tokyo," said
Robert M. Stern , an economist at the
University of Michigan. "When he
(Baker) and others try to put pressure
on the Germans and the Japanese,
they 're inclined not to listen."
An episode last spring provides a
telling example of the growing limits
on U.S. economic influence , and how
attempts to exercise power can sometimes backfi re. The United States
sought to punish Japan in March for
unfairl y "dumping " computer chips
in this country at below fair market
value. But it hit a dilemma: fears of
Japanese retaliation ran rampant
through the world' s financial markets. The fear hit home, and U.S.
homebuyers, with astonishing force.
U.S. interest rates were forced
upward , as investors debated the wisd
om of buy ing U.S. Treasury bonds,
and focused on fears about the dollar
and other weaknesses in the economy. By April , American homebuyInternational Foods and Crafts Day

people to BU campus last Thursday .
"It's the best I have seen on this
campus ," Dean of Student Life
Robert Norton said.
The event, held in Kehr Union

700 people. The countries represented were Scotland, China , Taiwan,
Holland , Pakistan , Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, U.S.A., Saudi Arabia,
United Arab Emirates, Hungary,

But because there is no war or
similar crisis today, people feel as
though blood is not in desperate need.
But it is, she added .
Recent medical advancements enable vital organs to be saved and
transplanted and an increasing
amount of transfusions to be performed. These require nearly 100
units of blood for each operation.
There are several severe medical
conditions which commonly require
blood transfusions. Actual usage
depends on the individual patient.
Generally six pints of blood is needed
for a shock trauma victim of bums or
punture wounds; six to eight pints is
needed for open heart surgery; while
lukemia and liver transplants use 100
to 150 pints per operation.
Separating blood into components
parts makes it possible to meet the
need of a particular patien t for a specific blood product.
As a result, Weidner reported,
"blood goes furthur, reaching more
peole than we've ever done before. "
One pint of blood can help save up
to four Jives.
An anemic patient, particularly one
with heart, liver, or kidney problems,
needs only red blood cells. The additional volume of fluid provided by
whole blood risks overloading the
system.
Some of the plasma separated from
the red blood cells is used to treat
patients who bleed excessively during surgery with its coagulation.
Another component, called platelets, is also separated from plasma.
These cells will resupply a lukemia
patient with blood clotting ability
which is diminished due to x-rays or
chemotherapy.
. Before donating blood , givers must
meet a few restrictions to ensure the
safety of the donator and the accepting patient.
Persons must be at least 17 years
of age, and must weigh more than 110
pounds.
There must be at least eight weeks
since the last donation given.
Donors can not be taking medication , feeling ill , or have undergone
surgery recently.
A few additional requirements depend on the individual and his medical history.
A mini-physical is given to each
blood donator which includes a pulse
and blood pressure check, hemoglobin (iron content) test, blood typing
and hepatitis screen .

international day
draws large crowds

"This event was a success and it
paid off all the effort of the participants but I feel there is a bi g chance of
improvement." Taj added,"The real
problem is finance, if I allow every
country to cook food samples for 500
people but spend under $11.70, it is
imposible."
"CGA allotted us $300 to spend for
two International days, I don't know

why we are not allotted more money.
International day is an important
event and if we cannot even give out
food sample after the first hour what is
the use of it," Taj said.
"This year French and Spanish
clubs and the language department
also helped in the event which created
a better corporation among the organizations," he added.

The role of a newspaper
by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
Many different views arc held concerning The Voice and what service it
should provide to the Bloomsburg
University community. As the new
cditorof this student- run publication ,
I have my own views.
The Voice is a newspaper, not an
announcement sheet. Us purpose is to
report news fairly and objectively.
Although it does provide space for
public service , that is not its first intent. It also provides entertainment ,
feature articles and sports information. However , a man of much wisdom once said to me, "News is the
meat of a newspaper. The rest is just
gravy. "
The Voice has been criticiz ed in the
past for di gg ing up dirt and smearing
it over the university 's image. Recently, this criticism surfaced again
after The Voice ran a story in the Nov.
5 issue about a former student who
was dismissed from a position at a TV
station for releasing "privilcdgcd information. " The local newspaper ran

a similar story but didn ' t disclose the
person 's name. The Voice did.
Now we hear that this article reflects badly on the university as a
whole as well as the mass communications department. Faculty and students have said they would not have
run the story because it makes us look
bad.
The fact that certain faculty members , who are supposed to be teaching
us how to be fair and objective journalists , would want a story censored
makes the department look even
worse.
I don 't think the situation reflects
badl y on the university. While he was
here, I' m sure this person learned
enough about journalis tic ethics to
know that what he allegedl y did was
not ethical. He simply chose to overlook what he learned.
It is true that , at limes , The Voice
prints stories which present a negative image of the univer sity. However , these articles arc not fabricated.
They consist of newsworth y facts
which affect the BU community . It is

To the Editor
In response to the letters printed in
the Nov. 5 issue of The Voice , I must
admit dial I did find some valid defenses of the "Greek" system.
However , I agree more with the
writer of the ori g inal letter. I too am
puzzled as to wh y "Greeks" tak e their
name from a civilization whose ideals
and practices they have nothing in
common with.

I suggest that Greeks" call themselves "Zulus " instead. They could
put African letters on their shields and
spears and paint their faces. While
walking across campus , we mi ght be
able to hear the sound of tribal chanting instead of moronic whistling.
Hazing? While we all know that
this is strictl y forbidden , I' m sure as
many people adhere to this rule as
people who drive 55 m.p.h. on hi g h-

To name withheld
This is dedicated to the misinformed "All American " student. For
someone who holds such a strong
belief , why haven 't you admitted
your name? Obviousl y, your stance is
not too fool proof.
We arc proud to call ourselves
Greek because the Greek civilization
is one of the oldest and most successful empire s known today. We have
incorpora ted their history into ours by
forming our names by the letters of
their alphabet.
And , in answer to your question ,
this is what makes us Greek.
Your lack of understanding proves
your ignorance. It seems you ' ve
failed to be accepted into the Greek
system , the largest organization on
our campus , Uius making you the
forei gner.
Addressing the "airheaded and
averag e fraternity brodicr " stereotypes you have perceived , perhaps
you arc one who partcipitaled in IFC/

ISC rush and was not accepted.
Maybe your anger is turning to jealousy. Assuming you withheld your
name concludes that you arc of those
wishing to have what is common to
the majori ty of students, on BU' s
campus.
As for the personal vendettas you
hold for some to leave the country,
keep your bias op inions of those few
separate from the rest of the Greek
society.

A brief addendum to Doug
Rapson 's computer bulletin board
service article in the Nov. 5 issue of
The Voice:
A few omissions were made in
Rapson 's recent article on local bulletin board services. In the spirit of
equal time, I feel that these omissions
should be pointe d out.
First , Rapson mentioned only three
of die five local bulletin board serv-

ices. He neglected to mention
Logan 's Run and the Crossfire bulletin board services. Both of these systems arc fre e and open to the public.
Secondly, he neglected to mention
the fact dial Logan 's Run is the only
local bulletin board service operated
by a Bloomsburg University student
and has catered specifically to BU
students for more than a year.
Finally, he neglected to give any

the job of The Voice, as well as any
news publication , to report information to the public.
Last fall , a formal complaint about
policies of The Voice was made at a
CGA senate meeting. An article was
written , and , although it was a bad
reflection on the paper, it ran on the
front page.
We cannot censor the news regardless of who it makes look bad . We do
not sit in our office looking for someone attack. However, it is our responsibility to report the news. It is
up to the reader to form opinions
about what is read.
The university has a public relations office in Waller which releases
all the "good stuff about the university the public can handle. The university also has a newspaper in the Kehr
Union which prints news, good and
bad.
The problem is some people can 't
seem to separate the functions of the
two offices and assume that the two
should operate on the same level.

A unique look at 'Greeks '

Defending the system

Pertaining to your phrase "dress
like a moron ," you must be referring
to the norm of jeans and sweatshirts
that is common to all college students.
We hope you arc never in the position to represent a typ ical college
student because your beliefs arc narrow-minded.

Thoughts on holiday g fi t giving

by David Ferris
Staff Toublemakcr
With the holiday season approaching, I thought now would be a good
time to look at the gift-giving season.
I'm sure you are all rushing about
shopping for presents for your favorite newspaper commentators, so I
want to make sure you know what
you 're doing.
First of all , you have to know some
tilings about the intended reci pient of
your gift. If he has a title like "Ayatollah" or "Arch-Demon of the Sixth
Plane" chances arc fairl y good he
doesn 't celebrate the Judco-Christian
holiday season. Respect his beliefs
and give him something with a yearround use, say for instance a coffee
maker or a set of metric ratchet
wrenches.
Do not give alcoholic beverages to
a person as a gift unless you are sure
that they drink. People have been
shocked to find me less than thrilled to
receive a bottle of wine for Christmas.
As far as I'm concerned , this is
equivalent to me giving them a dead
skunk. "Here ," I could say, "have a

this interesting idea by stating how
millions of children lead terrible
lives. I quote, "Children of all ages are

she adds how kids are being abused
emotionally by their parents.
Well , now I understand. These kids
are going to live rotten lives if they are

for people like Ms. Maso-Furcdi. So
let 's exterminate them now and avoid
all that unecessary suffering. Notice
she never said these kids weren 't

would be poor.
Hmm. Let 's see, why not also go

then ship them down to the local crematorium and end their troubles since
the quality of their lives is obviously
pretty bad. After that we can go into
all those third world countries and
eliminate everyone who is homeless
and starving because I'm sure their
lives aren 't exactly grade A.

dead skunk for die holidays. It smells
bad and is ugl y, but it is of a very good
vintage. Of course, if you don 't want
to cat the skunk yourself , you can
always save it for special guests."
Another point to keep in mind is tiic
giftce's overall approach to fashion .
You should not give a pair of leg
warmers to a person who wears wool
three-piece suits to go swimming,
neither should you present a silk
necktie to an individual who thinks
Bruce Springsteen is overdressed.
An important tip for men : never,
ever buy clothes for a woman . No
matter what you get her, it will be the
wrong size, the wrong color, and two
years out of style. You can get her
accessories like gloves or scarves,
since it 's rather difficult to get die
wrong size scarf. I would avoid buying her anydiing else, though , because you do not wan t to bring her a
size 20 when she insists she 's a 16,
even when she's reall y a 20.
Try to think of practical gifts. A
pack of replacement table saw blades
is probab ly not appropriate for an
elderly lady living in a small apart-

ment. Several tons of driveway
blacktop would not do cither. Try
something a little more along the lines
of decorator fl ypaper, or the complete
set of Chilton automobile repair
manuals recorded on cassette tape. Of
course, there 's always the ever-popular one-year supply of Rice-a-Roni.

There arc many excellen t gifts for
the home hobbyist. For the computer
buff , there is a new container for
floppy disks that automatically
scrambles all the data on the disks, so
the computer won 't have to do it.The
person who likes to knit will be
thrilled with the new combination
self-propelled knitting needles and
electronic drumsticks from Yawnco.
Fishermen will be delighted to find
the latest plutonium fish lures under
their tree.
I hope you all have a wonderful
holiday season. If you really want to
get something for me, I could use
some .22 calibre hyper-velocity long
rifle rounds. I have to do something
with all those bottles of liquor people
keep giving me...

Pro-choice views are flawed
The point is that denying life to
someone simply because their "quality of life" isn 't up to someone's standards is insane. You don 't improve
life by ending it.
Ms. Maso-Furcdi invited people to
visit domestic violence safe houses or
other places for abused children as
this would somehow justify abortion.
Well , I'd like to ask her to visit a
cemetery and sec how well everyone
likes it there.
Argument number two. In defense
of abortion is the arguement about
how abortion is merely a matter of
privacy. According to pro-choice
people, the "right to privacy" has been
"guarenteed to women in the
Constitution." Seems to me the
Constitution also has something in
there about "the right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of h appiness."
An aborted child is going to have a
tough time enjoying those rights. But
the obvious point being made by the
pro-abortionists is that the woman
may do as she pleases while the unborn child has no rights at all.
There lies the problem. Abortion
has nothing to do with the "right of
privacy " or religion or the "quality of
life." Abortion is the ending of a life.
The "fetus" is not just an abnormal
growth in stomach of women. It is a

human being who should enjoy the
same right to life as other Americans.
People say the fetus is totally dependent on the mother thus not truly alive.
Well , I bet if you put a two-month-old
infant in a kitchen and told him to feed
himself that baby wouldn't last too
long.
Ms. Maso-Furcdi said that there are
no right or wrong answers, only gray
areas into which abortion falls. No,
she is quite wrong. There is a right or
wrong when it means the killing of
another person. The probelm is, many
people refuse to see it that way. When
people refuse to see an issue for what
it really is, then anything can happen.
The Holocaustoccured because many
people in Germany refused to believe
it was really happening. Americans
must look at abortion as it is, not how
they would like to see it. It might
sound better to say abortion is merely
a women 's right of privacy but in each
one of our hearts we must realize it is
much more than that, especially to the
unborn child who only wants a chance
to live.

U.S. economic policy
draws heavy criticism
by John W. Berry and Hobart Rowen
Lj i. Times-Washington Post Service

Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III signaled a sharp
shift in economic policy Thursday, indicating that the
administration 's current top priority is to avoid a recession by pushing down interest rates and permitting the
dollar to fal l against other major currencies.
Baker's views, published in a newspaper interview
and endorsed by the White House on Thursday, caused
the dollar to plunge to record lows against the West

Japan , West Germany, France, Bri tain , France and Canada - to hold the value of the dollar within a set range
relative to other major currencies. The purpose of the
effort from the U.S. viewpoint was to avoid a surge of
inflation dial mi ght be set off by rapid increases in prices
of imported goods, and to aid in attracting large amounts
of foreign capital to the United States to finance the
nation 's large trade deficit.
The Baker performance "is devastating to the market."
said one analyst. "All we sec is vacillation and political

criticism of his performance as the administration 'schief
economic spokesman.
In the interview reported in Thursday 's edition of The
Wall S treet Journal , Baker said he believes a tight monetary policy and rising interest rates contributed to the
recent stock market plunge. Baker said he wants to
"make sure" the Federal Reserve provides enough
money to the banking system to hold down interest rates.
Earlier in the year, Baker and the Fed sought to help
bolster the value of die dollar by raising interest rales and
encourag ing foreigners to buy dollars and iny,cs,t them in
the United States.
Meanwhile, several major commercial banks, led by
Chase Manhattan , cut their prime lending rate from 9
percen t to 8.75 percent, contributing to a solid gain in die
stock market.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 1,985.4 1
Thursday, up 40.1 2 points, for a 2.1 percent gain.
The prime rate - a reference rate to which rates charged
on many busi ncss loans and a growing number of
consumer and home equity loans are tied - was also
reduced by a quarter of a percentage point late last month
after the stock market nearly collapsed and the Fed began
to pump large amounts of money into the banking system.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwatcr confirmed
Thursday that the Treasury secretary was speaking for
the administration. But after the dollar 's sleep decline on
forei gn exchange markets, Fitzwaler said he was "concerned about any misunderstanding" that might arise
from the interview.
The United States "will continue cooperating closely
with its (Group of Seven) partners to foster exchange rate
stability," he said.
Other Treasury officials seemed to be playing down
the significance o f the Baker interview , which contained
relatively few direct quotations from the Treasury secretary. However, no administration official said die report
was incorrect.
Financial market anal ysts interpreted the
administration 's statements as clearly spelling die end of
a nine-month effort undertaken with the help of the six
other major industrial countries in the Group of Seven -

A significant number of economists , including a group
testifying before Congress on Thursday, believes that
whatever the inflationary consequences, the value of the
dollar must come clown by as much as 25 percent from its
current level to enable ihc United Slates to eliminate its
$160 billion trade deficit with the rest of the world.
While most attention was focused on Baker's comments, market-dctermircd interest rales continued to fall
here and in several other industrial nations. Yields on 30year U.S. government bonds fell below 8.8 percent as the
Treasury auctioned $4.8 billion worih of die securities
Thursday. Rates on such bonds were just under 9.5 percent
a few days ago and were nearl y 10.5 percent before the
stock market plunge on Oct. 19.
Key interest rales also were lowered Thu rsday by Ihc
central banks of West Germany and Switzerland , following similar actions by their counterparts in Britain and the
Netherlands ihc day before. However, the German Bundesbank did not cut its 3 percent discount rale - die rate it
charges on loans to financial instilutions - as many anal ysis
had hoped , so its action had little impact on exchange
markets. In addition , die bank's reduction in another
important short-term rate was aimed more at keeping die
value of the mark within agreed-upon bounds relative to
other European currencies lhan affecting the value of the
dollar , analysts said.
In London , Conservative Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher, in an unusual personal intervention , sent a
private message to President Reagan late Wednesday
regarding the upheaval in financial markets. Later, she
publicly blamed the U.S. budget deficit for that turmoil.
"A convincing package to reduce die U.S. budget deficit
is a vital fi rst step toward restoring confidence in the
financial markets," she said in die House of Commons.
Prior to Oct. 19, many financial market participants
believed that if the administration and Ihc Federal Reserve
wanted lo keep the dollar from falling, they would have to
keep raising interest rates to make dollar investments
attractive to foreigners - who increasingly feared a loss in
their invesuncnls if the dollar did decline.
There also were concerns both in the market and at the
Fed that the economy was strong enough that inflation
would accelerate in 1988.

AIDS cure nears reality
by Andrew Veitch
L.A.Times-Washington Post Service

The first major step towards an AIDS vaccine which should both prevent
infection and treat patients already infected with the virus is reported by
British and American scientists.
Dr. Angus Dalgleish and his colleagues in London working with scientists
in San Antonio, Texas, report that their anti-idiolype (or anti-id) vaccine does
neutralize the virus in laboratory tests.
Even if all goes well, it is unlikely to be widely available for at least two years,
but its potential advantages over other AIDS vaccines in the pipeline are
thought to make it one of the brightest hopes for halting the worldwide
epidemic.
The virus is mutating rapidly, but Friday's results, published in the British
medical magazine the Lancet, show that it can neutralize the second version
of the HIV virus, HIV-2, spreading in West Africa and France, and that it
should be able to hit new mutations as they appear.
It works by locking the door (the receptor) on the body 's cells which the
virus uses to pirate its host's genetic material, once locked out, the virus is
unable to replicate.
Genetically engineered from antibodies to HIV, it should also be able to
stop the virus spreading in people who have already been infected but have yet
to develop symptoms of AIDS. With well over 10 million people estimated to
have been infected worldwide, that is considered essential.
Dr. Dalgleish, consultant at the Medical Research Council's Clinical Research Centre at Norlhwick Park, Harrow, London , said: "Not only might we
have a major component for a vaccine, but it could be given to someone who
has been infected but is still well, that is the exciting possibility of this
approach. "

In an unexpected move, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega agreed
Thursday to indirect negotiations
with U.S.-backed Nicaraguan rebels
to end six years of war.
The decision, announced to meet
the first deadline of a Central American peace accord , was the Sandinistas' biggest concession of the war. It
was a tacit recognition of the Contra
insurgency. Managua had refused to
deal with the Contras, insisting they
were under the control of the United
States, their creators.
In El Salvador, President Jose
Napoleon Duarte complied with the
five-nation peace pact Thursday by
calling a unilateral halt to offensive
military operations against leftist
guerrillas.
Ortega said that Nicaragua will
make a cease-fire offer through an
intermediary to exiled leaders of the
Contras. He did not outline the proposal or name a possible mediator,
and he refused to discuss "the institutional framework or the laws of the
country.
Alfredo Cesar, one of six directors
of the Nicaraguan Resistance, cal led
the announcement "a victory for us."
He said mat he will seek a truce that
would allow armed rebel troops to
remain in the field until the Sandinistas accept "irreversible" democrati c
reforms.
Addressing a rally by tens of
thousands of Sandinista party activists , Ortega also announced pardons
for 1,000 of the country's 6,500 or
more political prisoners.
Thursday was originally the
deadline for full compliance with the
pea ce accord signed on Aug. 7 by the
presidents of Costa Rica, El Salvador , Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. It is aimed at ending guerrilla
wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador
and a minor insurgency in Guatemala.
The five nations' foreign ministers last week extended the date of
final judgment of the accord to Jan. 4
but said that each nation must show
progress by Thursday toward meeting its requirements.
The accord calls for cease-fires, a
cutoff of outside aid to insurgent
forces, amnesty for political opponents and rebels who lay down their
arms and full press and political freedoms.
Though it does not specifically
require the Sandinistas to negotiate
with the Contras .the author of the
agreement, President Oscar Arias
Sanchez of Costa Rica, had demanded publicly that they do so.
The Reagan administration ,
while calling for such talks, had expected to use Managua 's intransigence to coax $270 million in new
Contra aid out of Congress early next
year.
Ortega 's announcement of an
about-face brought a hush over his
huge audience in Managua 's Revolution Plaza. Party members had been
instructed to rally in support of the
government's off-stated refusal to
negotiate with the Contras. One sign
in the plaza read: "If the Contras don 't
surrender, we will talk only with
bullets."
The Sandinista leader said that
negotiations were necessary "to take

away the pretext of our enemies and to
unmask those who say they want
peace but in truth don 't."
"This cannot be confused with a
political dialogue," he said. "We have
never negotiated power with the
counterrevolution, we are not doing it
now and we never will."
He also repeated his call for talks
with the United States on security
issues such as the size of Nicaragua 's
army and the presence of Soviet Bloc
military advisers.
Ortega made his announcement
hours after returning from Moscow ,
where he met with Soviet leader
Mikhail S. Gorbachev and attended
celebrations of the 70th anniversary
of the Bolshevik Revolution.
Foreign diplomats and rebel
leaders speculated that the Soviets,
who supply most of Managua 's military and economic aid , may have
asked Ortega to accept cease-fire
talks.
"The Soviet Union is really pushing the peace plan ," said an Asian
diplomat here. "It doesn 't want to
aggravate a conflict so close to the
United States, especially at the time of
Gorbachev 's upcoming visit."
The announcement also focused
speculation on who will mediate the
talks.
Arias and rebel leaders had proposed Cardinal Miguel Obando y
Bravo, the outspokenly anti-Sandinista leader of Nicaragua's Roman
Catholic Church. The cardinal heads
the National Reconciliation Commission named by the government to
monitor the peace accord.
Obando said that Vice President
Sergio Ramirez informed him of the
government's decision in advance but
gave no indication of its preference
for a mediator.
Contra leaders said that Ortega's
failure to propose a mediator indicated his opposition to the cardinal.
'We don t see how he can come up
with anyone with stronger moral
backing or better experience than the
cardinal ," Cesar said. "We are not
insisting on him , but we reserve the
right to accept or reject whoever the
government proposes."
Ortgea also said he has decreed an
end to the nationwide state of emergency and an amnesty for prisoners.
But he said that neither measure
would take effect until an International Verification and Follow-up
Commission set up under the accord
certifies that Central American are in
full compliance with its prohibition
on aid to the rebels.
The government says that it is
holding about 4,000 Contra suspects
and about 2,500 members of former
President Anastasio Somoza's defeated National Guard , which was
disbanded by the Sandinistas as they
came to power in Jul y 1979.

The Association of Public
Relations Students will
hold a meeting to elect new
officers Wednesday, Nov.
12 at 5 p.m. in the Multi-C
Room, KUB. Present and
new members are urged to
attend.

Editor 's Note: This is the second
of a three-part series about gun
safety.
When can the pleasure and cxcilcmenlof a hunting trip turn to tragedy?
Invariabl y when adequate precautions are ignored.
Wildlife Conservation Officer ,
Stephen Smithonic , said , "Peop le in
this area used to lake time to prepare
ahead . Now , people don 't even think
about it until one week before they 're
going to go out. "
Smithonic suggested that hunters
go out into the woods and fields on
Sunday afternoons in order to study
animals ' habits. "They should become familiar with the game they 're
going to hunt ," he said. "It 's decent
hunting practice. " If going out on
Sunday alicriioo ns isn ' t possible ,
there are book s, charts , and magazines which offe r information and can
be studied.
Decent hunting practice also means
preparing ahead by Jioning marksmanship skills. The rillcry course offered at Bloomsburg University is
one way for the experienced hunter
and the novice to review or learn
marksmanship skills.
Instructor Susan Hibbs said , "The
course, teaches the use and misuse ol

fi rearms. It also facilitates people's
understanding, ability, and respect for
fi rearms."
Hibbs believes it is better to have
some knowledge. "If you don 't have a
knowledge concerning things," said
Hibbs , "you fear those things - AIDS
is an example. And when you fear
things , your reactions can be irrational , even dangerous."
BU' s rifiery course uses the hunter
safely program desi gned by the National Rifle Association of America
(NRA). "However ," Hibbs said ,
"there is no connection between the
college and ihc NRA." Hibbs also said
thai she docs not try to "guide opinion
on such things as gun control , but allows the students to formulate their
own opinions."
The course begins in Centennial
Gym with films , lectures, ans? demonstrations. Students not only handle .22
rifles and learn lo use sights , but also
become familiar with oilier items hunting jackets , gloves, and arm
slings which arc used as stabilizers.
And , before going lo the rifle range
for actual shooting practice, students
learn to obey the instructor 's firing
commands as well as the NRA' s
"General Safety Rules."
According to Smithonic , the
N R A ' s rules closel y parallel
Pennsy lvania 's rules for gun han-

ROTC
gives aid

by Nancy L. Davis
for The Voice
As the second semester draws near,
students realize it is once again time to
start scraping together funds for tuition and fees. However, there are
some students who are spared the
ordeal. Their tuitions and fees are
paid, and they also have a career
waiting for them after graduation.
They are Army ROTC scholarship
winners.
Army ROTC offers two and three
year scholarships for students who
are already enrolled in the University,
and freshman and sophomores are
encouraged to apply. Applying for the
scholarship is not complicated and
does not entail any military obligation. Army ROTC scholarships cover
college tuition, required educational
fees, and provide a stipend for textbooks, supplies, and equipment. In
addition, scholarship winners receive
a subsistence allowance of up to
$1,000 each school year that the
scholarship is in effect.
Upon graduation, the scholarship
cadet is commissioned as a Second
Lieutenant and has the option to join
the Active Army, Army Reserve, or
Army National Guard. Therefore, one
can accept a scholarship and still have
the option to start a civilian career
after graduation.
For more information about the
Army ROTC scholarship information
program, you can attend an informational meeting at the Army ROTC
Office on upper campus on Wednesday, November 11 at7:00 p.m.,or call
the ArmyROTC office at 389-2123.

from page 4
The sixth rule, "Be sure of your target," means being able to identify
game and knowing exactly where
your fellow hunters are at the time. As
the story about the red-headedyoung
man (Part I) illustrated, making hasty
shots and not making positive identification can be tragic.
The seventh rule, "Never mix alcohol and gunpowder," should be selfexplanatory. Partying and hunting
should be done at different times and
in different places. Even "hung-over"
hunters pose risks to others as well as
themselves. Alcohol distorts vision
and judgment and slows reflexes.
In addition to these rules, Hibbs
cautions, "It 's important to anticipate
that someone else is not as
knowledgable as you are. Someone
can be careless."

Staff Writer
Debuting at number 16 three weeks
ago, the first studio album from the
Boss since 1984'sfiorn in the U.S.A.
is a haunting piece rcminiscient of
Nebraska (1982 ) and Darkness on
the Edge of Town (197®.
Young as it is, Tunnel of Love has
already come under criticism for
being a marriage album the likes of
Bill y Joel's recent sappy efforts.
The fact is, Joel's wimpy "Uptown
Girl" could never compare to
Springsteen 's hauntingl y honest
"Cautious Man " or "One Step Up."
The newness of marriage is a
prevalent theme throughout the record , though , especiall y on "Walk
Like a Man.' Springsteen recalls the
big day" and the role his parents
played in it.
"/ remember how roug h your hand
fell in mine, on my wedding day..."
However, Brucc 's talent for relating ihc most personal of experiences
in universal terms shines through in a
way thai Joel could never maich.
The eventsthat affect Bruce on this
album could happen to any one of us.
That 's ihc beauty of a Springsteen
record . The characters arc people
with real values and real conflicts.
"Now Billy was an honest man he
wanted to do what was right! He
worked hard to fill their lives with
happy days and loving nights/ Alone
on his knees in the darkness for

steadiness he'd pray I For he knew in
a restless heart the seed of betrayal
lay.... "
Springsteen forgoes the political
innuendos offiorn in the USA . This
album deals with the consequences of
those political and social problems on
the average man.
There are no songs about Vietnam
indignities or small town unemployment here.
"We ' ve given each other some
hard lessons lately! We ain ' t learnin'l
We ' re the same sad story that 's a
fact! One step up and two steps back"
Surprisingly, there is also not one
note of Clarence Clemons saxophone
work . The pop-rock sound of Born in
the USA was also scrapped in favor of
a mellower, acoustic guitar-organ
tradeoff with Springsteen and organists Dan Fcdcrici and "Professor"
Roy Bittan.
The Big Man" plays only a supporting role, with some nice backup
vocal work on a few tracks. Guest
musician James Wood tops the record
of f with some classic harmonica work
on "Spare Parts."
The musical simplicity of Tunnel of
Love and the pop themes of our times
are mixed superbly on "Brilliant Disguise," the first radio and video single
from thealbum. It 'salighterpiecethe
likes of 1980' s "Hungry Heart."
The video depicts Springsteen
alone strumming an acoustic guitar,
singing a live voice-over of the lyrics

Call your mummy

in a 50's style kitchen. The camera
slowly closes in on Springsteen's
faces as the song plays and ends with
a good close-up set off by some creative shadowing.
"Brilliant Disguise"and "Ain't Got
You" also showcase the modesty
Bruce portrays in light of the immense commercial success of Bom in
the U.SA.
"I' m just a lonely pilgrim/ 1 walk
this world in wealth! I wanna know if
it 's you I don't trust! 'Cause I damn
sure don ' t trust myself. "
In the end .Tunnel of Love is the
perfect follow-up to the megabits of
the past few years; an easy-listening,
humble answer to the nearly deadening materialism of the commercial
pop scene.
It 's not a copy, not a one-upper in
any way. Springsteen sums it all up in
a recent Rolling Stone twentieth
anniversary interview:
"The challenge is still there: eight
years of Reagan is not going to change
that. "

"Well,down I go."

Coaching methods vary

By Peter May
the Hartford Courant
Another workout was over, and
World B. Free had lost some petty
cash. All Houston Rockets are fined
10 cents for each free throw they miss
in practice, and Free was not happy
with his involuntary contribution to...
what?
Coach Bill Fitch would have his
players believe the money pays for his
golf balls. That's what he told Free,
although it is not case. But Free didn 't
doubt his coach, and that was all part
of Fitch's plan.
"You never want them to know
what you 're thinking or where you 're
coming from ," Fitch said. "You spend
a lot of your time try ing to know much
more about them than they'd like. If
they 're always wondering what
you 're up to, so much the better."
Keeping players off balance, contriving ways to make them do what
they don't want to do, goading them ,
cajoling them , coddling them, playing
father, friend and disciplinarian.
Dealing with fickle fans and an increasingly demanding media. Trusting others, such as scouts and the
general man ager, to provide you with
talent and the owner to treat you and
them fairly. It's all part of that most
visible and , at times, volatile occupation known as coaching.
Coaching in the National Basketball Association. It is unequal parts
frustration , exhilaration , boredom ,
excitement, security, paranoia , public
relations and detachment. There is the
constant travel , the inevitable strains
on the family, the never-ending uncertainty about your status, the fragile
relationships with the players below
you and the general manager and
owner above you.
But there is a considerable upside
as well. There are the obvious perks
attendant with any such high-profile
job: Books. Endorsements. Clinics.
Summer camps. Motivational talks. It
all adds up to easy money, and that 's
above and beyond the six-figure salaries most of them command.
"I wake up every morning and say,
'Holy cow,' "Utah Coach Frank
Layden said. "I drive a Mercedes. I
belong to a country club. I make tremendous salary. I get perdiem. I go
first class. I have my son coaching
with me. People give me things like
trips to Europe. How can I complain
about that? If it wasn't for the games,
it'd be a great life."
In short, none of the incumbent
NBA coaches complains too strenuously about the lifestyle or demands
of the job. Doug Moe of the Denver
Nuggets once reflected during the
heated, seven-game 1979 Eastern
Conference finals with Washington
that "my biggest concern right now is
that my country club won 't allow
sixsomes on Thursdays."
Most seem to agree with Dallas'
John MacLeod. "Nobody put a gun to
my head," he says. "I'm doing this
because I want to. I enjoy this."

in the pros, a coach plays with the
hand he is dealt. There is no recruiting. Does he implement his own philosophy on the team, or does he tailor
it according to the athletic abiliti es of
his players?
MacLeod didn 't stay j obless for
long; the Mavericks, who had seen
veteran coach Dick Motta retire,
quickly snapped him up. That just
underscored the popular conception
that coaching in the NBA is a revolving door. The same names get recycled in different locales.
There is a grea t deal of truth to that.
Shuc, who has a reputation as both a
Mr. Fix-It and Father Fl anagan , has
coached the Bullets in two different
cities (Baltimore and Washington)
and the Cli ppers in two different cities
(San Diego and Los Angeles). Shuc ,
Kevin Loughcry, and Cotton Fitzsimmons have each coached five different teams and have an aggregate total

There is no accepted method, no
foolproof modus operandi to coach
successfully in any league, let alone
the NBA. There is no single accredited school of thought or guaranteed
route to the top. Eleven of the current
NBA coaches were college coaches;
14 were professional assistants. Thirteen played in either the NBA or ABA
and one, Jack Ramsay, was a general
manager before beginning an NBA
coaching career that is now in its 20lh
season.
As a coach , there are all sorts of
permutations and complications
ranging from finding a practice site on
the road to getting the proper videotape of the upcoming opponent. The
combination of the grueling workload
every day for nine months and the
travel can strain the sturdiest of relationships.
"The coach is married to his job ,
and it takes a real good woman and
real effort lo make it work ," said
Fitch , who says the dizzy lifestyle was

When the requirements of die job

coaching, no wonder Fitch said , "If
there 's ever a World War III , this
country could do a lot worse than use
the NBA coaches as their leaders."
From the start, there is the obvious
philosophical dilemma. How many
times has a new coach taken over and
said, "We're gonna run " or, "We're
gonna play better defense" or, "I
wouldn 't have taken this job if I didn 't
think we could win right away?"

Uecker spinoff set f o r January

by Larry Stewart
Los A ngeles Times
Coming to television next year,
probably in January, will be the "All
New Bob Uecker Sports Show," a
spinoff of "Bob Uecker's Wacky
World of Sports."
Uecker was at a bar in the San Diego
area last week to tape 12 segments.
Uecker and his guests, such athletes as
Brian Bosworth, Carl Lewis, Johnny
Bench , Steve Sax and Terry Forster,
drew packed houses on four successive nights.
Robin Taylor, 23, showed up one
night to get Bench to sign the scrapbook she had been keeping on him
since she was a catcher on her fifthgrade softball team and her friends
called her Johnny Bench. But Uecker,
baseball's most famous .200 hitter,
was the big draw.
On cue, the crowd each night would
yell, "Ueck, Ueck, Ueck," during the
four-plus hours of taping.
And Uecker each night after the
taping would stick around and
shakehands, sign autographs and chat
with his fans.
You know why they like me?"
Uecker asked a reporter during a limo
ride.'T'm one of them. I'm just an
ordinary guy looking to have a good
time."
That is what Bob Uecker is all
about. His Miller Lite beer commercials and, more recently, a major role
in a television sitcom, have made him
rich and famous, but get him away

Steph Pctil shone on defense for the
Huskies. The defensive end led the
team widi nine tackles including a
brilliant stop when Kutztown had
fourth and goal on die one-foot line.
He also recovered a fumble , blocked
a pass, and sacked the quarterback.

Coach Adrian commented dial Pet
it had been hurt for awhile and , "He
returned at a reall y good dmc."
Jay DeDea also had a good day. The
senior quarterback completed 16 of
26 passes for 189 yards and two
touchdowns. He also threw two interceptions.
His favorite receiver on Saturday
was John Rockmore, who caught six
passes for 51 yards and a touchdown.
According to Al Lconzi , Kutztown 's
defense coach , "We didn 't think their
tight end would be as big a factor in
the game as he was."

The Bloomsburg defense was tough
as usual as they forced Kutztown to
punt ten times and allowed only one
of 16 third down conversions.. They
also tallied two interceptions, recovered a fumble, and sacked Golden
Bear quarterback Fred Serfert six
times. Besides Pcut, Bruce Linton
and Joshua Lee also had excellent
outings.
Adrian summed it all up. "We've
been condsisient on defense all year."
Wilh die win Bloomsburg improved
its record to 7 - 3 overall and clinched
a second place tie in die PSAC Eastern Division with Millersville. The
Huskies season concludes next week

Huskies final season game disappointing

by Ruskin Mark
Staff Writer
It was a rude send-off for senior cocaptian Dave Deck in his final varsity
game for the Huskies. His team was
out classed in every facet of the game
by the less fancied Wilkes College 4 1.
This game was meant to be a thank
you for Dave Deck for his contributions over the last four years, but what
a mediocre display shown to this
working senior on his celebrated day .
Apart from a very determined effort
by Randy Mertzler to open the scoring in the 25th minute, very little else
die Huskes did was poistive. As a
mailer of fact, Wilkes simply took the
play away from Bloomsburg after
Mcritzler's score, and never relin-

quished their stranglehold on the
game.
They scored the equalizer with two
minute of concecding a goal themselves and never looked back. They
kept growing from strength lo
strength and one could feel the momentum shift as the gam e went along.
By the half diey added two more goals
to take a commanding 3 - 1 lead over
the Huskies.
The Huskies tried to launch a characteristic comeback , but too many
pieces were missing on this day to
allow this happen. All of
Bloomsburg 's efforts were thwarted
by the oppostition , and to add insult to
injury, two key Bloomsburg players
were ordered off by the referee.
With a now depleated squad, an already lackluster performance became

a disaster and a major embarrassment.
Wilkes even scored a fourth goal as
the Huskies pushed everyone forward
in an attempt to salavage some pride.
To senior Dave Deck this performance must have been a major let
down. Bloomsburg was out shot 6 -1
and out scored 4 -1 by a less fancied
Wilkes College on a day when so
much was at stake. This loss took the
Huskies under .500 for the season,
finishing widi a record of 8 - 9 -1. The
loss also placed a serious strain on
what litde chances the team has of
post season play.
However, the loss should not overshadow the overal l performance of
this team throughout the season.
Remember that this team has onl y one
senior and a number of freshmen and

sophomores. This team has shown
tremendous promise which argues
well for the future.
In my estimation Coach Steve
Goodwin should be named the coach
of the year. His molding of these lads
into a team took tremendous effort.
This team lacked experience , depth ,
and familiarity with each odicr as they
approached die season. Coach Goodwin took a very optimistic approach
and got a sadsfac tory season from
those under his charge.
These young players have the sky as
their limit, and can go as far as (heir
altitudes and egos allow them lo. Willi
a good spring season, players reluming to camp fit and ready to play; plus
a good recruidng year, die Huskies
could legitimately challenge for the
conference title as early as next year.
