The Community Government Association considered a proposal to
make The Voice financiall y independent at Monday nig ht 's senate
meeting.
The proposal would establish a university trust fund with the
newspaper 's excess advertising revenues and would eliminate The Voice
from the CGA budget.
The proposal was drafted by Mr.
David Hill , comptroller of the Community Activities office , in consultation with former Voice editor-in-chief
Don Chomiak and Voice faculty advisor John Makllcn-Harris.
Chomiak , who appeared before ihc
Senate to explain the proposal and
answer questions , said the paper cur-

rently receives an allocauon from
CGA that it uses to produce the paper.
Chomiak added that the paper 's advertising revenues arc used to supplement the budget , purchase equipment
and provide stipends lo students who
manage the newpapcr.
Chomiak pointed out that any funds
left unused by The Voice at the end of
the year were rolled back into the
CGA budget. The proposal would
place these excess funds into tlie trust
account and thus provide the paper
witli money to start up at the beg inning of the next year.
The Voice advertising revenues
have increased from S 17,354.96 in
1984-85 to S 17,725.52 in 1985-86
and to S 23,073.60 in 1986-87. These
increased revenues have enabled the

Israeli president sees peace Provost speaker to talk

by Norman Kempster

LA. Times-Washingto n Post Service

Israel's Irish-born President Chaim
Hcrzog, claiming the "gift of the
Blarney Stone," told a joint session of
Congress Tuesday that progress toward Middle East peace was "inexorable," although he conceded that
even within his own country there
were disagreements on the methods
of achieving it.
"Wc sec as our major challenge the
achievement of peace between us and
our Arab neighbors, including the
Palestinian people," Hcrzog said.
"There may be differences of opinion
as to procedures and modalities, but
not as to the vital necessity of achieving peace through direct negotiations."
Although Hcrzog lived in this
country both as ambassador to the
United Nations and as military attache in Washington , his trip marked
the first official state visit to the
United States by an incumbent Israeli

president. In Israel s parliamentary
system , the prime minister and his
Cabinet hold most of tlie political
power, but the president acts as a
unifying national symbol.
Both governments sought to make
the tri p a showpiece of U.S.-Israel i
cooperation. In addition to his Capitol
Hill speech, Hcrzog was the guest at a
lavish White House dinner and a Stale
Department lunchThe Israeli president received a
standing ovation following his spece
h in the House chamber. Though
every scat was filled , many senators
and House members were absent,
their places filled by pages and junior
aides.
Hcrzog praised the United States
for "valiantly defending" the international shipping lanes through the
Persian Gulf. But he made clear that
Israel docs not share tlie U.S. till
toward Iraq in the 7-ycar-old conflict
with Iran . Instead , Hcrzog impartially
condemned both sides.
"Today in the Near East the longest

war in this ccniury is being waged - a
brutal , bloody war motivated by fanatic reli gious fundamentalism on the
one hand and the ambitions of a
megalomaniac dictatorshi p on ihc
other," he said.
Hcrzog chided the Western world
for an "obsessive fixation with ever y
stone-throwing incident in the (Israeli-occupied) West Bank" while
overlooking, until it was too late, the
conditions that led lo the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the outbreak
of the Iran-Iraq war.

Nevertheless, the Arab-Israeli conflict was the focus of all of his appearances. In a speech following lunch al
the Slate Department, Hcrzog accused the Palestine Liberation Organization of preventing Palestinian
residents of the West Bank and Gaza
Strip from dealing wilh the Israeli
authorities on ways to case ihc occupation and eventuall y produce some
sort ofsctilcmcnt between Israel and
tlie Palestinian people.

Leader plans longer U.S. stay
by William J. Eaton

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev may extend his
American stay beyond the three days he plans to spend
in talks with President Reagan , a Soviet official said
Tuesday.
The official said that no decision has been made but
that Gorbachev is thinking of spending up to five days in
the United States.
Talking with American reporters on the condition that
he not be identified by name, the official said some of
Gorbachev 's advisers believe that he should take advantage of the meeting with Reagan to persuade the American people that he is a reasonable world leader.
But others close lo Gorbachev have cautioned that an
extended visit might suggest a closer relationship wilh
Reagan than the Kremlin wants lo show at this lime.
Still, the official said, moving away from lhe White
House would give Gorbachev a chance to "appeal over
the president's head" to the American people and to
make clear his ideas about nuclear disarmament and
Soviet-American relations. Further details of the trip
may emerge this week at meetings of top S ovict and
American officials in Geneva and Moscow.
Yuli M. Vorontsov , a first deputy foreign minister, is
meeting in Geneva with Under Secretary of State Mi-

chael H. Armacost and Max M. Kampclman , the chief
U.S. arms negotiator. And Deputy Secretary of Slate John
C. Whiteh ead is expected here Thursday for meetings with
Anatol y L. Adamyshin , a deputy forei gn ministe r, on
human rights issues.
Moscow appears to be looking ahead to dealing wilh a
new American president. Partl y because of die coming
changeover at the White House in January 1989, the
official said , Gorbachev has decided to defer for the time
being his attacks on Reagan 's Strategic Defense Initiative.
This means that it may be easier to reach accord on a 50
percent rcdu clion in strategic nuclear weapons without a
final settlement of the space defense question , lhe official
said. At any rate, he said , Moscow expects agreement on
a second treaty before another meeting ofthe two leaders
next year in Moscow.
"If President Reagan wants to visit Moscow, he had
better have a treaty to sign ," the official said.
Returning to the subject of Gorbachev 's schedule in the
United States , the official said a decision has to be made
soon so that proper security arrangements can be made.
Gorbachev and Reagan arc scheduled to meet, for the
third time, starting Dec. 7 to sign an agreement on the
elimination of intermediate nuclear forces. They arc also
to discuss the proposed 50 percen t reduction in strategic
weapons.

statue, saying that all veterans alread y
were reprcsenled at the memorial , and
Uiat the aesthetics of the memorial
would be damaged if there were continuous additions of statues to recognize every group who served there.

"We shall never be able to satisfy
everyone's special interest ," said J.
Carlcr Brown , chairman of the
commission and director of the National Gallery of Art. Brown pointed
out that the Air Force, Navy, Marines
and Native Americans were not specificall y depicted in the three-man
statue cither, and that , in fact, tlie
figure proposed by the project is
white, which would leave out black
women.
"It will never end ," said Brown ,
who said he was against the f irst
statue being built. Designer Lin op-

posed the men 's statue and is against
this one as well. Frederick Hart,
sculptor of die men 's statue, also
opposes the women 's statue. He is on
tlie commission but abstained from
voting.
'
The project , on the other hand , says
it has received support from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund , the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and the
American Legion , and has obtained
significant funds from a pharmaceutical company.
"People can 't be so completely literal with sculpture," Brown said.
"There arc great numbers of humans
who are not literally represented by
the statue, those pilots floating around
in the China Sea, the Marines. The
Park Service has already heard from
Native Americans and Asians who
feel excluded and it's ridiculous for

anyone to feel excluded.

"No one sculpture can bring it all
in ," said Brown , who added that he
would rather see die group's energy
devoted to a memorial at Arlington
Cemetery that would honor American
women who served in all foreign
wars.
"That memorial could be done
from scratch , done right and call atten
tion to all women who have served
much more effectively than just an
appendage added to an existing
memorial," he said.
The rhetoric has not deterred leaders of the Vietnam Women 's Memorial Project, who are mounting a
campaign lo either convince or sidestep the commission. They are not
interested , they say, in any other site.

publishing system, change from a tabloid format to a broadsheet format ,
and to produce the first color issue
oVThe Voice.
According to a policy established in
1971, -the publication slaff of The
Voice receives stipends, which range
between $100 and $ 200 a year. Currently, the newspaper can distribute
$1700 of the advertising revenue as
stipends. The new proposal would
change this from a flat figure to 10%
of the total advertising revenues.
Several senators suggested that
there should be a cap on the total
amount of money to be spent on stipends. Chomiak pointed out that a cap
would lower the amount each person
receives as the newspaper adds more
staff members in the future. Chomiak
believes it would be preferable for the
amount spent on stipends to grow at
the same rate as the paper.
The Senate will vote on the proposal at its next meeting.
In other business, the Senate also
passed a motion alloca ting money lo
the Economics Club for its Boston trip
and a motion approving money for a
student representative of the CommunityArts Council to attend a conference.
The Senate approved a proposal
that would give fringe benefits to partlime employees of the Kehr Union
and the bookstore. Salary adjustments of 1% were also approved for
Community Activities employees.

Computer
course to
be offered

A three-credit course titled Expert
Systems and Artificial Intelligence",
designed for business and industry
personnel , will be offered by
Bloomsburg University during the
1988 spring semester as part of the
computer and information systems
degree program.
Expert systems, also called knowledge systems, arc the byproduct of
research and development in the area
of artificial intelligence, according to
John H. Abcll , interim dean of tlie
School of Extended Programs. He
said expert systems use knowledgebase and inference procedures to
solve problems that arc sufficiently
difficult to require significant human
expertise in their solution.
Participants must have a computer
background to the level of data structure or equivalent experience. The
course introduces the participants to
the basic terminology, concepts, techni ques and state-of-the-art expert
systems and knowledge representation as a subset of artificial intelligence.
Classes will be held on Tuesday
evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.. The
university 's computing facilities will
be available for hands-on projects.
The course may be taken for college
credit or audited. For additional information , call Sherry Eyer, 389-4560.

Greek wars continue

GDIs wouldn H understand ...

To the Editor
I would like to respond lo the letter
written by Mr. Garton. Again , I am
going lo try and defend the Greek
system , I do not think I will be able to
get the GDIs lo understand through .
You need to experience what 1 have,
and all the other Greeks have , in order
to understand the system.
First , I fail to sec why people arc
hung up on the idea that Greek is only
a civilization. Here at Bloomsburg
University, Greek isa tradition. Ithas
been a tradition on this campus for 23
years. The first fraternity at
Bloomsburg was Sigma Iota Omega,
which was founded in 1964. The first
sorority was Delta Epsilon Bcla ,
which was founded in 1966.
, The Greeks today arc only carry ing
on a tradition , one that has been successfu l and rewarding for die mem-

bers and thccommuniiy . And so, I see
no reason why this tradition should be
broken.
Indeed , I do not know exactly why
the Greek alphabet was chosen to
represent the system instead of Zulu.
It is my opinion that the Greek alphabet was chosen because that is where
much of our American vocabulary
was derived from .
Second , I think lhe opinion dial
Greeks cause unnecessary problems
by spray painting their letters on Interstate 80 was weakly supported.
I am well aware that this is
Bloomsburg and not Philadelphia or
New York. The painting done in the
cities is noi comparable to the painiing done here. In the cities , people
deface private property, as well as
public , with foul pictures, language ,
and opinions such as " God lies ".

Wc put our fraternity and sorority
letters on publically owned Interstate
80. Wc do not deface private businesses and homes. Also, our painting
docs not consist of foul pictures or
language . It adds to the bleak scenery
of rocks, is a conversation piece, and
is also a tradition.
However , I know that all these
points do not make spray painting
ri ght. I am just showing that it is not
the great crime Mr. Garton accuses us
of committing.
Finally, I admit that our Greek system is not perfect No existing thing
on Earth is. Still , wc have a new Greek
Coordinator , Lori Barsncss, who will
guide and help us become closer to
perfection.
Sincerel y,

Alpha Sigma Alpha

Mr. Anony mous strikes again
This is a rebuttal to all those who
responded lo my letter about Greeks.
Let me first say that all of you appear
to be stuck on yourselves and avoided
the issue at hand.
I did not write Uiat lctlcr because I
did not receive a bid. In fact , I rushed
three fratern ities and received two
bids. However I realized how ridiculous and senseless the whole tiling
was and did not pledge. I think by
saying I wrote that lcitcr because I did
not receive a bid is a pretty weak shot.
Come on all you "intelligent" sorority
sisters , gather that brain together and
come up widi something better than
that!
I wrote that lcitcr because I' m sick
of all these clones walking around
wearing letters on their shirts from

another cullurc . I don t see what right
they have to "own " half of the Union
during the afternoon . Are you loo
embarrassed and humiliated to sit
with everyone else? Explain that to
me.
"While I must admit some Greeks do
perform some valuable service projects, I'd like lo know how many
people pledge because that particular
fraternity or sorority had numerous
community achievements.
One person (is that all ri ght to call
them that , or shall I call you sister?)
wrote thai I should judge them as
individuals and not as a group. How
can I do this when the enti re Greek
system represents itself as a group,
and not individually ? By being in a
fraternity or sorority and setting your-

selves apart from everyone else you
have stripped yourselves of an individual identity and'taken die one of a
group.
I saw some Phi Iota Chi sisters had
something to say about Greeks
"dressing like morons ". How can you
defend yourselves on that comment
when I have to put up wilh your
pledges dressing like leprechauns
everyday ? I may not wear the best in
preppic clothing but at least I don 't
dress like everyday is Halloween.
If you wonder why I did not wish
my name to be printed , the last diing
I need is for 3,000 outcasts of society
to come pounding on my front door.
So let the free citizens of ihc world
rule and fight against these mindless ,
brainwashed organizations!

To the Editor
This letter is in response to the
person who was cowardly enough lo
withhold their name when addressing
the Greek System at Bloomsburg
University. I am a "Greek" on campus
- an active sister in a national sorority
and am not an "airhead", thank you.
Since you seem to be obviousl y
ignorant (by the way that means unknowlcdgcable) in regards to the
Greek System , let me proudl y explain
it to you.
Sororities do not in any way promote conformily. Individuals make
sororities and sororities make individuals. Each of us can be an individual within our own organization. Wc

have a fun side (mixers and banquets)
and a serious side (social service projects and fundraisers for needy charities.)
Wc arc proud of our achievements
and wear our Greek letlcrs with pride
and di gnity. Regardless where wc
have pledged , wc have pledged ourselves for life. In reality, our sororities
arc a way of life. We share the common bond of not only sisterhood but
of friendship. Intense friendships thai
will last forever.
Wc arc not better than anyone else
and never said dial wc were. Wc arc
just very active individuals , not only
in our sorority but in many campuswide organizations. Did you ever

recognize how many CGA off-campus senators arc Greek? How many
presidents of organizations are
Greek? (Did you happen to know that
President Reagan is a TKE brother
and President Ausprich is also a fraternity brother?)
The lists arc long and impressive,
as arc the accomplishments of Greeks
on this campus.
As members of sororiiics , certain
ideals and values arc taught as well as
the cultivation of the desire to strive
for excellence. Our excellence is revealed dirough our dedication not
onl y to ourselves or our sororities , but
lo Bloomsburg Univcrsily as well.

To the Editor
This commentary is in response to
recent commentaries written in The
Voice about the Greek System. In one
way or another , these commentaries
have torn apart or defended this system. I think all of this childish squabling is stupid.
Obviousl y there is going to be different views about various issues on
campus and , as matter of fact , in die
world. There is not a right or wrong
answer in many disagreements. This

leads to an undecided outcome relating to the argument. But this situation
is different.
The argument about the correctness or wrongfulness of the Greek
sytcm is irrelevant. The real issue is
the choice a sludent makes in deciding if they want to be a direct part of
the system. Everyone has the right to
decide on this issue, and Uicre are a
number of reasons why people do or
do not decide to join the Greek system. -

Someone may pledge a fra ternity or
a sorority because they like the tradition or the people associated witli the
group. Th ey may want to become a
member of a group, or enjoy the social
aspect associated wilh tlie syslcm.
On tlie other hand , people may
place other prioriiics before pledg ing
a fraternity or sorority. They may be
against the system, or they may not
want to alter lives by joining it. All of
these reasons are fine and everyone
has the power to choose what direc-

One side of the story
"Everybody needs a hero,people need someone to look Up to,1neverfo und anyotie whofu lfitled
my needs ..atone a plac e to be and so I learned to depend on me.,,"
Most of you are aware of my recent court case... and so it is only appropriate that t have my
voice in the situation. So many of you asked me whether "it really happened ,"' Po you know,
how difficult it is for a feminist to admit she was hit? Why, I ask you, would anyone humiliate
themselves if ft didn 't really happen? Use thy brain please.
There were those who said I "blew it out of proportion. " Please do not speak until you have
felt my pain and frustration. I was absolutely stri pped of dignity when I learned about MY
school and its justice system and I certainly did not need anyone else's two cents. If and when
you getslapped around th en you deal with it your way. I didn 't necessarily expectsupport from
you "friends " but you invade my person when you try and discourage me from taking a stand
on my princi ples and belief s, t never imagined so many people would stand in my way-This says
a lot about your own values.
Some of you were honest enough to share with me that you were now conscious to be seen
with me. You added that it didn 't matter. That such a thought crossed your mind makes me
regret that I considered you a "friend. "
No, 1 am not very popular. I have my share of enemies since I refuse to kiss up and sacrifice
my doctrines and integrity. And indeed , there were those could not see all the pub licity in this
issue. Come on folks. Awareness and query is all that Ls asked of you. I am one woman who will
not be treated as an object. Those who now dislike me because of this, thank you. No loss, no
gain.
And to thos e who said nothing throughout this ordeal: Thank you. Less of a hurdle for me
to pursue my business. Finall y, thanks and thanks again to those who stood by me, inspired me

The roy al f amily makes headlines

Charles and Di in the news

by George Will
Editorial Columnist
It would be quaint to expect journalism to veil in silence any subject
about which the public is ravenous for
information , even if there is scant
solid information available. Thus is is
not astonishing that, in headlines of a
size one wishes were reserved for
announcing a cure for cancer, British
tabloids arc speculating about what
may be problems in the marriage of
Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
For severa l months they have spent
little time togedicr. During a month
Charles spent alone in Scotland , he
joined Diana for 20 hours for a tour of
flood-ravaged Wales, then returned
alone to Scotland. A picture of Prince
William has a banner headline:
"Where is my dad?" Times have
changed.
The last time a Prince of Wales had
difficulties, more Uian 50 years ago,
when there was fi re, not just smoke to
provoke inferences , the press engaged in a conspiracy of silence that
may have encouraged his ruinous
sense of invulnerability.
The Prince of Wales who was lo become Edward VIII was a man of negligible intellect and arrested emotional development. He had a habit of
falling abjectly in love wiUi older
married women. One affair lasted 16
years, was widely known is society,
yet never was mentioned in the press.
Petulant , stingy, self-indulgent ,

Greeks vs. independents : no argument

Greeks: The writing is on the wall

tion they want to take in their lives.
However, for some reason, people
think they are better than others because of the choice they make.
Regardless of the label someone
has upon them , "Greek" or "independent", no one is better than anyone
else. It is unfortunale that some
people believe they are better than
others because of what they do or
what organization they arc a part of.
Just as a football player is no better
than a basketball player , or a member
of tlie accounting club is no better
than an athlete, a member of the
Greek system is no better than an
"independen t". Everyone has thcir
own desires and strengths , and we go
about achieving them in different
directions.
People should respect the decisions
of others and not judge everyone according to what they individuall y
believe is correct. In this country and
on this campus, everyone has the right
to make decisions freel y, and others
should not so hastily look down upon
orforce their opinions on otherpeople
who make different decisions than
themselves.
We should all believe in what we
stand for, but at the same times respect the decisions of others even if
we disagree wilh them. So let's stop
the childish arguments about if the
Greek system is right or wrong, and
instead respect the decisions people
make regarding being or not being an
active part of the system.
Curt J. Brown

conceited , self-engrossed and lazy, he
recognized no responsibility that
should prevent him from doing whatever he pleased. He and Wallis
Warficld Simpson (she was then
married to her second husband) conducted themselves wilh what a biographer calls "childish ostentation."
And there was not a peep from the
British press.
But a constitutional crisis became
unavoidable when she acquired in
England her second divorce. An
American headline proclaimed:
"King 's Moll Rcno 'd."
Britian was an island of eerie silence in a world of fevered speculation— until a provincial bishop included in a sermon an oblique rebuke
of Edward s conduct. The bishop ,
who had never heard of Simpson , was
concerned only about Edward' s
churc h attendance, but the press
pounced , seizing tlie occasion to
trumpet the real news about the affair .
Was it real news that had been suppressed by press barons? Obviously it
was; it led to a change of sovereigns.
Today , Peregrine Worsthorne, editor of the Sunday Telegraph , accuses
the mass-circulation newspapers of
undermining the monarchy. These
papers, he says, arc not acting on
robust republican motives. Their
readers are overwhelmingl y monarchists. Rather, the papers are participating in an opportunist trivializalion
of the royal Family.

The family members are being
treated , he says, as players in a soap
opera , their lives invested with meretricious drama. A profoundly unif ying symbol of nationhood is being
squandered by a familiarity that
breeds contempt— a familiarity,
Worsthorne says, the Royal Family
has encouraged in a misguided attempt to become less "distant."
Although voyeurism is often pandered to in the name ofthe public 's
right to know ," a serious question is:

How is the responsible press to behave when , by the logic of
Worsthorne 's argument, the comportment of the royal couple is an
important public concern?
But Charles, who may be a grandfather before he is king, is a serious man
on the threshold of a serious job, one
that seems unscrious onl y to people
unable to comprehend the decorative,
dignified , symbolic functions of govenment.
Perhaps you believe, as some psychologists and other advanced thinkers would have us do, that a royal
house is merely an anachronistic
residue of mankind' s primitive past, a
retrograde concession to unworth y
desires for pageantry and parental
figures so, the travail of the royal
couple can be considered a trivial
matter, or even a valuable demystification necessary for a more rational
world.
But sentiments are important ingredients in a nation 's social glue, and
Brilian 's monarchy remains a unified
object of veneration. However, everything is perishable, and Charles
Diana should studey the speed with
which Edward VIII' s popularity evaportcd when the public detected dereliction of duty. They must present to
the public a different face— a false
one, perhaps— if they are to quell a
potentially ruinous clamor.
Worsthorne rightly excoriates
media excesses that reduce the lives
of the royal family to a daily serial
with its own dramatic requirements.
But the inherent problem of monarchy in a constitutional democracy is
that drama is its vocation, so it is
constantly vulnerable to degradation
of the drama it enacts.
Britian's monarchy is in business,
leavening ordinary lives with elevating spectacle, and Charles and Diana
can make choices that will frustrate or
facilitate media attempts at degrading
exploitation.

Ruling boosts government' s porn battle

by Caryle Murphy

L.A.Times-Washington Post Service

In the first case of its kind , a federal
jury in Alexandria , Va., Tuesday gave
a boost lo the U.S. government's legal
battle against pornography by finding
three Northern Virg inia residents
guilty of racketeering charges for distributing obscene videotapes and
magazines.
The racketeering conviction permits the government to confiscate all
assets gained through the defendants '
racketeering enterprise. The case is
the first in which federal prosecutors
have brought rackc leering charges
against distributors of allegedl y obscene materials , a recommendation
made last year by Attorney General
Edwin Mccse Ill' s Commission on
Pornography.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III
is to hear legal arguments Wednesday on the forfeiture mailer,
including whcdicr ihc government
has a ri ghl to confiscate materials
that have not been declared obscene

in court and Uicreforc arc protected
under First Amendment guarantees
of free speech.
Two,of the defendants , Dcnris E.
and Barbara A. Pryba of Lorton , Va.,
own three area adult book stores and
nine video shop outlets, known as
Video Rental Centers. The third defendant , Jennifer Williams of Woodbridgc , Va.,was emp loyed by Educational Books of Upper Marlboro ,
Md., a Pryba-owncd firm.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence
J. Lciscr, who prosecuted the case,
said the verdict gives distributors of
adult materials "some concrete idea
of what the community standard is in
l.his district. ... It will help than assess
their own slock and determine
whether it 's in lhe limits of the law ."
The Prybas and Williams , as well
as their attorneys , declined to comment on lhe verdicts.
The jury of four men and eight
women deliberated th ree days before
fi nding the Prybas , boih 45 , guilty on
three racketeering counls and seven

counts of interstate transportation of
obscene materials. The Prybas were
acquitted of two counts of allegedly
filing false income lax returns for
1984 and 1985.
Educational Books was found
guilty of two counts of racketeering.
Williams , 38, who worked as a bookkeeper and payroll clerk for Educat
ional Books, was convicted on two
rackciccring counts and seven counts
of interstate transpora tion of obscene
material s. Williams , who is Barbara
Pryba 's sister, was acquilted of one
count of racketeering.
In addition lo forfeiture of assets,
lhe Prybas face up to 95 years in
prison; Willi ams faces 75 years.
Dennis Pryba has long been an adult
book slore retail er in the area a nd .has
had severa l convictions under slate
laws for sellin g obscene materials.
Educational Books has been Cunvictcd 15 limes in Fairfax Counly for
violating stale obsccnily laws and
owes the counly more than 5260,000
in lines from those convictions.

sex, sado-masochistic sexual acts and
bondage. The magazines contain
explicit photographs of similar acts.

The downward slide of both the stock market and the
dollar were temporarily reversed Tuesday following an
unusual statement by President Reagan , who said the
U.S. currency has fallen far enough on foreign exchange
markets.
The president 's comments contradicted die Treasury
Department 's posit ion of last week, however, adding to
lhe market 's confusion aboul the administration 's policy
in the aftermath of the stock market 's collapse. At at the
end of the day the slock market closed lower, while the
dollar gained ground against other major currencies.
The Dow Jones industrial average, which measures
price changes for 30 blue chi p slocks on tlie New York
Stock Exchange, was down as much as 44 points before
Reagan spoke, but then rebounded. Much of the gains
were lost during the late afternoon , and the Dow closed
down just over 22 points.
Traders on both slock and foreign exchange markets
had to cope wilh a mix of signals about the
administration 's policy. Slocks followed lhe dollar lower
early in the day in reaction to a newspaper report quoting
anonymous officials who said the administration wanted
the dollar to "drift , drift , drift , drift." The White House
then issued a number of disclaimers, tlie strongest of
which came from tlie president.
In response to questions from reporters at the start of a
meeting wit h visiting Israeli President Chaim Hcrzog,
Reagan said: "We're not doing anything to bring it (the

a further decline from where il is rig hl now."
Reagan went beyond the brief , carefull y worded comment that the administration initiall y offered , prompting
While House press spokesman Marlin Filzwalcr to observe
that , "The president 's comments were on his own."
Reagan 's remarks came on the heels of statements last
week by Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III that sent the
dollar 's value tumbling. Baker said that in the aftermath of
the slock market plunge last month , die administration was
giving lop priority to keeping interest rates down even if
that causes the dollar to fall further. While lower U.S.
interest rales lessen the risk of a recession in this country ,
they tend to make the dollar weaker by making dollar
investments less attractive to foreigners .
Baker 's comments were seen as pulling pressure on the
Federal Reserve to keep pump ing enough cash into tlie
economy lo assure low inicrcst rales. On Monday, Federal
Reserve Governor Edward J. Kelley Jr. appeared to take
issue wilh the thrust of Baker 's comments, saying the
dollar "is in a good range" and warning that policy-makers
must keep inflation in check as well as acting to prevent a
recession.

Scientists announced Tuesday that they have discovered evidence of a giant
object larger than Jupiter orbiting ? star 50 light years from Earth.
If ihc finding is confirmed , it would mark the first time that a large, substcllcr body called a "brown dwarf has been discovered , although scientists
have suspected for years that they abound throughout the universe.
Admitting that his evidence is not conclusive, University of California , Los
Angeles, astronomer Ben Zuckerman said the "most natural interpretation of
our observations is that there is a substcllar, somewhat Jupiter-like brown
dwarf in orbit around Giclas 29-38," a star that is 300 trillion miles away.
Zuckerman has not actually seen the brown dwarf , because no instrument
available to scientists today is sensitive enough to photograph such an object,
which would be about a billion times dimmer than its nearby star. That would
be sort of like trying to pick out the glow of a match alongside a giant
searchlight on the other side of town.
But he has determined that more infrared radiation - heat - is being emitted
from the immediate vicinity ofthe star than the star should generate, based on
its temperature. That suggests the existancc of a companion body th at is
reradiating some of the energy from the star, Zuckerman said.
Zuckerman presented his findings to the planetary sciences division of the
American Astronomical Society here Tuesday, and a full report on his work
will appear in this week's Nature magazine, the British science journal.
His prcscntalion Tuesday hi ghli ghted discussion of one of the hottest fields
in astronomy today, the search for other planetary systems. If planetary
systems abound throughout the universe, as a growing number of scientists
arc concluding, then ihc chance of life existing elsewhere is grcady enhanced.
Zuckerman has long been known as a critic of those who believe that
civilizations exist elsewhere, contending that if extraterrestrial intelli gence
abounds , so should the evidence, and surely it would have been noticed before
now.
But Tuesday, he stopped just short of saying he believes he may have found
that evidence himself . He suggested dial the heat source around Giclas 29-38
could be the equivalent of giant solar panels created by advanced creatures to
harness the power of their sun. His prcscntalion was greeted with some
skepticism among lhe astronomers meeting here. Warring factions disagree
over which course will most likel y lead to proof of other planets , but several
scientists familiar with his work said they saw no reason lo discount his
conclusions.

'Evita ' recalls political history

by Lisa Cellini
Features Editor
Snow drifted down from die sk y
peacefully Tuesday ni ght while
mourners encircled the coffin of Eva
Peron in Mitrani Hall during the offBroadway production of Evita. The
weather in Bloomsburg was appropriate for the somber stage scene witnessed by students and area residents
alike.
Yet, melancholy was hardly what
playwri ghts Tim Rice and Andrew
Lloyd Webber had in mind when they
created the Tony Award-winning
musical Evita. Under the direction of
Kenneth W. Urmston , this vivacious ,
ruthlessl y cynical musical disclosed
die manipulative life of Eva Peron.
As the wife of Argentine dicta tor
Juan Peron , Evita (translated as
"Litile Eva whom is loved") finall y
escaped from the Argentine social
caste which confined her. "Screw the
middle classes," she sang defiantly. "I
will never accept tiicm , and they will
never deny me anything again. "
Her relentless ambition and cunning diplomacy brought her the fame
and fortune she craved. By using intelligence and womanl y guiles , she
effectively slept her way to the top of
the Argentine media and government.
In a scene titled "Goodni ght and
Thank You ," Evila dismisses her lovers consecutively by singing,
"There...never has been and never
will be a lover , male or female , who
hasn 't an eye on - in fact ihcy rely on
- tricks they can try on their partners. "
She looks at the audience and sinqs ,

Drummer Todd McKinstry uf Rujjiic pl:iyed at the All-Ni ghter lust Friday in the Coll'cehoij se. Riiyiio was just one ol' the activities
the Program Hoard presented that night.

All-Nighter was successfu l
by Mara Gummae
Staff Writer
The first " A l l - N i g h t c r " at
Bloomsburg University began at 5
p.m. last Friday evening.
The event kicked off wilh "Cosby "
show tapes in the President ' s Lounge ,
followed by Bingo at 6 p.m. where
monetary prizes were given away.
At 8 p.m. "Carrie " appeared on the
Sound Stage in Multi purpose Room
A. "Carrie ," the duet of Carrie and
Kim Siarner , has performed al several
colleges along the east coast , clubs in
New York City, and for hospital audiences. They prefer to work colleges
because, "they [the college students]
arc ihc ones I want to reach ," said
Carrie.
Kim , her husband , agreed , adding
that students listen to the words , unlike people at a club. The two have
been performing together for three
years.

Later, a suqinsmgly dillerent kind
of magic show drew a large crowd of
students to the President 's Lounge al
10 p.m. Steve "Trash" Richardson
and his "killer bunny, Sp ike" performed mag ic with garbage.
Encouraging audience participation , Steve amazed die crowd with
card tricks and created lhe illusion of
a knife penetrating one student 's
leather jacket.

A native of Alabama , Steve started
magic al the age of seven. A graduate
of die University of Alabama , and the
University of North Alabama , he
studied theater and art before he followed a girl to New York where he
took to the streets to perform magic.
"That ' s where I got the trash idea ,"
he said, "it's doing magic with just
about anything.
"I' m known as the 'trash' man. "
What he is , from his tattered hat to his
patched pants , is a professional entertainer who keeps his audience amused
and amazed.
Meanwhile , in the games room , lhe
Association of College Unions International [ACUI] pool tournament
continued fro m 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Rich
Arnold emerged as the first place
winner of the men 's tournament , wilh
Winter Miller in second place.
First place in tlie women 's tournament was Kathy Rupertus with Lisa
Hannum taking second. The winners
will go to West Virg inia University to
represent BU in die ACUI finals.
Rogue performed at Cheers in the
Coffeehouse from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Formed in January of 1982, Rogue
has five members: Rich Sachsc , a BU
alumni , on guitar and vocals; Todd
McKinstry on drums and vocals; Tim
McKinstry on keyboards and vocals;
Dave Sabo on bass and vocals; and
Bernic Gcr/.io on guitar and vocals.

A nightclub act from Hazlcton , they
perform upbeat dance music. Play ing
music from thc40s throug h 60s, cover
music , and original music , the band
hopes to release a record by the firslof
the year.
The evening wrapped up with the
midni g ht movie , "Arthur. "

"It was a success for a first-lime
event ," said Step hanie Simmons , vice
president of the Program Board and
coordinator of the All-Ni ghtcr.
"I was pleased with the turnout. It
looks like it will be an annual event. "

Boston trip
planned

"They 're hoping their lovers will help
them or keep them , support them ,
promote them; don 't blame them you 're lhe same," thereby infering
that people should not judge her conduct.
At a chari ty concert , Evita , now a
radio starlet and political commentator, meets Juan Peron (Steven Snow) ,
who has recently risen above the political chaos of Argentina and has
shown promising leadersh ip abilities.
Realizing that her public influence
could help him politically, Peron pursues Evita.
By eliciting a pseudo-natio nalism
from the Argentines , the couple eventuall y rules the nation. "A New Argentina by and for the peop le" is the
deceptive slogan which allows Peron
to govern the nation with absolute
public support while stealing from
national funds.
Meanwhile , Evita exemplifies the
Argentine promise of Pcronista (rule
under Peron). "I was once as you arc
now ," she shouts to lhe unsuspect ing
people. "All you have to do is look at
mc to know that every word (of Pcronista) is true." In essence, she implies
that followers of Peron will achieve
success similar to hers.
Aflcr touring part of Europe as a
representative ' of Argentina , Evita
returns home. She superficially tends
lo the needs of lhe destitute, causing
people to dub her a saint. In a scene
titled "Sanla Evita ," children sing,
"I'm praying for you (Evila) even
though you 're already blessed ."
However, her schemes cannot save

her body from decay. A victim of
cancer , Evita 's ambition wanes but
her cunning docs not. To the end, she
is able to draw sympath y and love
from the Argentines she has betrayed.
Throug hout the musical , Che
Guevara , an Argentinian nationalist ,
cynically intcrrupls and interprets
events. Che (David Mascnheimcr) is
the proper narrator because he advocated nationa lism and fought the imperialism of the United States and
Europe , unlike Peron and Evita.
Therefore , he is qualified to criticize
Evita 's selfish , power-hungry ambitions.
Throug h Che's interjections , the
playwr ig hts criticized Latin American governments , which have been
plagued with leaders who seek private gain and care lillie about public
welfare. Juan and Eva Peron arc two
leaders among many who have manipulated their nations without consideration for the masses.
However, the musical could onl y be
as realist ic as the actors and actresses
who performed in it. Actress Suzanne
Morcy performed her part with enthusiasm and energy, realisticall y
portra y ing the relentless ambition of
Evila. David Mascnheimcr (Che) was
a refreshing aclor who adap ted to
every scene with relative case. Jane
Fcrrar's remarkably crisp sing ing enhanced the small role she played as
Peron 's former mistress.
Overall , this production of Evita
not only portrayed the woman 's consuming ambition , but the political
repercussions she had on her nation.

The Economics Club is sponsoring
a trip to Boston , Mass. on Dec. 3. The

compositions - and commercial success was assured.
After recording 33 albums with the
LcFcvrcs and tlie Stamps Quartet ,
M ylon struck out to record on his own.
Mylon was one of the elite musicians ' musician , doing concerts - and
drugs - wilh the top superstars of rock.
"I stayed stoned 24 hours a day for
10 or 12 years," he now admits regretfull y. Finally, this lifestyle caught up
wilh him. He overdosed on heroin.
"At that point, I really didn 't know
whether I would .go to heaven or hell
- and that scared me."
In 1979, Mylon 's name appeared
on Phil Keaggy 's album , "Love
Broke Through" - his firs t performance on a Christian album in years.
Producer Buck Herring had invited
him lo work on the album.
Mylon recalls , "I had known Buck
for years and respected him as an
incredible studio eng ineer. Buck was
leading me to lhe Lordship of Christ.
He worked me harder than I had ever
allowed. But I knew he was a man of
God , so I could take disci pline from

him that I couldn 't lake from anyone
else."
Today after working with legenday
musicians , Mylon is backed up by his
band , Broken Heart, which consists oi
bass player Kenny Bcntlcy, drummer
Ben Hewitt , keyboardist Paul Joseph ,
and guitarists Scon Allen and Trent
Argantc.
Mylon explains that their music
tries to reach young people. "Rock ' n'
roll has lied to Ihcm. The rock culture
encourages young people to turn
away from Godbccausciicmphasizcs
a philosophy which says, "If it feels
good , do it ," but Jesus calls us to deny
ourselves and to follow Him .
"More kids pay lo go lo rock concerts and hang oul in bars than go to
church for free. We want to lead those
kids to Jesus and into churches where

they can be loved , taug ht , and nurtured. "
Mylon LcFcvre and Broken Heart
continue to blaze trails in the field of
rock and roll evangelism . Their sixth ,
and latest , album "Crack The Sky,"
has become their first number one
album in contemporary christian
music and the initial single, die title
track , reached the number one position on the christian rock charts. The
group plans lo undertake a World
Tour in the next two years.
Mylon LcFcvre & Broken Heart
will be appearing on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.
at the Capitol Theater in Williamsport.
Tickets for the show can be obtained at Pro Audio in Bloomsburg, or

Hunting safely saves lives

by Marth a Hartman
Staff Writer
Editor 's note:Tliis is the third of
a three-part series on hunting
Besides knowing how to use firearms safel y and being able to identi fy
game, prospective hunters should be
in sound physical condition , dress appropriatel y, know their terrain , carry
emergency .supplies, and know first
aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation.)
Wh y be in sound ph ysical condition? Except for those who are fortunate enough to lounge on lawn chairs
in their back yard s while shooting
pheasant and deer, hunters engage in
a lot of leg-work while stalking game.
Pre-hunt hiking for weeks, even
months , could help prevent heart attacks and lessen the risks for sprains ,
pulled muscles , and broken bones.
Broken bones? People who are weakened by exercise that is more stenuous
than what their accustomed to arc
more apt to sli p and fall , and more apt
to fall in a haphazard manner .
Hunting can also entail the risks of
drowning, burns from a campfirc ,

froslbitc , and even hypothermia when
the hunter is exposed to severe
weather by becoming lost. The hunter
who is in sound physical condition has
an improved chance for swimming to
shore and surviving the shock and
trauma brought on by severe burns or
exposure lo extremes in weather.
Dressing appropriately should be
an obvious prerequisite, but think
about this: It 's 70 degrees and sunny at
8 a.m. when the hunters leave the
comfort of their vehicles.
By noon , a cold wind sweeps
throug h the area and dark clouds form
overhead. There is a torrential downpour , and soon, both ground and hunters have reached their saturation
points.
Dressing for warmth in the dead of
winter , however, doesn 't mean piling
on layers of heavy clothing. Warmth
can be achieved by drcssisolated area,
with no roads or houses nearby.
Being able to spot landmarks and
having a sense of direction - norih ,
south , east, west - is also important.
Often , hunters wound their game
and have to track down the animal to

make the kill. And while tracking, a
hunter might stray far from the original course. Knowing the terrain could
prevent getting lost and ensure survival.
Survival can also depend on carrying emergency supp lies. The bare
minimum would be the following:
pocket mirror for signaling; waterproof matches; food; plastic raincoat,
preferably in fluorescent orange,
which can be folded and carried in a
pocket; and last, a first aid kit which
can also be carried in a pocket and
contains instructions.
Simply carr y ing these items ,
howcvcr .won 't guaran tee survival .
The hunter must know , in advance,
how to use them. For examp le, starting
a fire when the only wood available is
wet or even damp can be tricky - if not
deadly.

First aid and CPR courses are offered at schools, colleges, and through
the American Red Cross. The importance of dicse courses is invaluable
when hunting, because without ihcm ,
lives could be lost.

Mastering the essay is essential
It s a rather common occurrence: a
person graduates from a top MBA
progra m and walks into a job paying
$60,000 a year - or more. So it 's no
wonder that applications to the
nation 's top business schools are up
dramatically - and that competition
for the few places offered each year is
fiercer than ever.
For most hopeful MB As, nothing in
their quest to gain admission is harder
than the essay questions. A bad essay
can really hurt an otherwise fine applicant; a good essay can put a borderline candidate over the top. The often
vague essay topics probably induce
more anxiety than the rest of the process combined. For example, from
Stanford: "Describe an ethical dilemma that you have personally encountered."From Wharton: "What do
you consider to have been your most
significan t achievement to date?"
And from UCLA: "Write your own

essay question and answer it."
Fortunately, writing an effective
essay will be a lot easier now , thanks
to the new book, "Essays That
Worked - For Business Schools."
Edited by Yale students Boykin Curry
and Brian Kasbar, "Essays That
Worked- ForBusiness Schools"hi ghlights 35 excellent application essays,
chosen by admissions officers from
top business schools around the country. The book also includes frank ,
terse advice on the essay and the admissions process, as well as an interview with admissions officers .
"Basically, the book is designed to
inspire people applying to business
school , and to relieve their anxiety
over the essays," Boykin Curry said.
"A lot of people think they have to be
'business-like,' so they write really
boring, stuffy essays with lots of big
words. The essays in our book prove
otherwise."

by Kevin Thomas

With "Death Wish 4: The Crackdown ," the Charles Bronson vigilante
series is verging on self-parody,
something which director J. Lee Thompson, shrewd veteran that he is,
clearly understands.
Writer Gail Morgan Hickman has
created a raft of one-dimensional
types within aplotof stunning simplemindedness , and Thompson has
turned it into an efficient , fast-moving, hard-action , good-looking
comic-book fantasy, which was the
only smart way to go. Of course, the
film 's violence is bone-crunching and
blood-spurting, but thankfull y it's
dispatched in a swift , cartoon-like
way. (You can all but see the film 's

dialogue m balloons.)
By now Branson's Paul Kersey is
an architect in the same way that Clark
Kent is a reporter: His Vigilan te has
become as much an above-the-law
mythological fi gure as Superman. Indeed, when Kersey, who now has his
own large firm in Los Angeles, gets
back into action when his girlfriend' s
teen-age daughter fatall y ODs on
crack, he doesn't even bother to use a
new weapon or a new car. He is so invincible that it doesn 't matter that the
Los Angeles Police Department can
easily identify him when he starts his
one-man war against local drug traffickers.
Such invincibility does not make
for much suspense but it does provoke
laughter, and it 's to Thompson 's

It is raining like hell and I have to get

Brian Kasbar added , "These essays

Imagine your bills piling up - your
mortgage, your childrcns ' education. Imagine being a single parent
struggling lo raise a family on one
income. ,
Most college students don 't think
diat far into the future, worrying
instead about choosing a major or
building social relationshi ps.
To attract young investors , Lincoln Investment Agency of
Bloomsburg has the Decatur I Series
Mutual Fund , which belongs to the
Delaware Group of Funds.
According the its prospectus, the
objective of the Series is to "Achieve
the highest possible current income
by investing primarily in common
stocks that provide the potential for
income and capital appreciation
without undue risk to principal."
Miller thinks the Scries is ideal for

young investors because the minimum monthly deposit is onl y $25.
Once the account is opened , investors
can deposit $25 or more at anytime.
Also, dividends can be reinvested
back inlo the fund.
In its portfolio of holdings , the
Decatur I Scries has 86.87% of its
princi pal invested in common stock,
in such diverse industries as chemicals, utilities , and manufacturing. The
fund also has 2.13% invested in
bonds , .41 % in miscellaneous investments, and 8.34% in short-term investments.
According to the Delaware
Group 's case studies, almost half of
the Series' total return has come from
stock dividends .

Arlow Guthrie and John Prine will
be in concert at The Kirby Center on
Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 8 p.m.
Arlow Guthrie 's popularity
emerged in the 60's, and he has continued to touch listeners and delight
audiences with his special music and
stage personality . His charm , humor
and musical talents have made him a
popular performer the world over.
Born in Coney Island, Brooklyn ,
New York in 1947, music has always
been a part of his dail y life. His father ,
Woody, the legendary Oklahoma
troubador, remains one of the most
influcncial and creative songwriters
of our time. Arlo grew up in a house
filled with folk music, and it seems
natural that he continues this musical
tradition. His mother, Marjorie , was a
modern dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company.

his first album which featured this
ballad , in 1967, it became an instant
hit and zoomed Arlo into "stardom."
It was the first popular anti-war song
that combined both political and
humorous quality and became Arlo's
trademark .
In 1969, "Alice's Restaurant" became a successful major motion picture starring Arlo and directed by
Arthur Penn for United Artists release. This was die first time a major
feature film was made from a recording. The film is still being shown at
movie houses and "late-night" television.

Music legends coming to Kirby

John Prine, who will be appearing
wilh Guthrie , is one of the most critically and popularly acclaimed singersongwriters of our time. By combining sound, rhythm , and his signature
lyric wit, he exposes a vast number of
facets of everyday life, thus gaining
the distinction of "The American
Storyteller." He quips: "I never really
tried to write story-songs, though I've
done it several times. The problem is
you always gotta come up with a
moral, and most people just don 't
have any . . . most of my lyrics just
come tumbling out."

Politics and songs is another
Guthrie tradition that Arlo carries on.
There is no separation with music and
performance as it involves the social
concerns of our gercration. Arlo regards himself as a "concerned citizen" and takes an active role in the
peace movement and the environmental issues of the day.
His epic story-ballad , "Alice's
credit that it's friendly ralher Uian de- Restaurant" was' written in 1966.

Miller knows that some people
might be wary about investing in a
mutual fund right now. On the recent
drop in stock prices, he says, "The

A ride through the Big Apple

people who didn 't understand the
market lost their heads and forgot
about their investment objectives.
They panicked. This mutual fund is a
7 to 10 year plan that will help people
realize their long-term financial
goals. It's very liquid and pays a
higher rate than a savings account. "
Bloomsburg University professor
Dr. Peter Bohling says that students
who plan for their financial future will
benefit. "The sooner students begin to
save, the better. After pulling $100 to
$1000 a year, it 's impressive how
much this amount can increase. Later
in life, people face expenses and
family commitments. What this person has saved over the years can mean
a lot at' age 50," says Bohling.
The Lincoln Investment Agency
wants students to examine what the
Decatur I Series has to offer for longrange planning. Miller remarks, "It's
a golden opportunity."

Prine's interest in music developed
at an early age.His older brother Dave
taught him to play quitar. After hi gh
school , he took a variety of odd jobs
before going to work as a mailman.
He started activel y writing songs , and
in 1970, he made his performing
debut at the Fifth Peg. He sang "Sam
Stone," "Paradise," and "Hello In
There," and a career was launched.
These days Prine 's calls Nashville,

busy writing with some of country
music's finer song writers . John 's
plans for the future are: " I'd like to

and leam how to hold a B-chord so I
can stop spending all this money on

No expansion planned for NHL

by Jerry Crowe
Los Angeles Times
While maintaining that groups representing 12 to 15 cities have expressed interest in acquiring franchises, John Zieglcr said at a news
conference last month that the National Hockey League had no plans to
expand.'
The NHL president said that the
league would review its stance on
expansion during its Board of Governors meetings next month at Palm
Beach , Fla.
At least one owner, Howard Baldwin of the Hartford Whalers , is in
favor of adding as many as three
teams to a league that has only one
franchise in the Western United
States.
Much to their consternation , the
Los Angeles Kings play in a division
with four teams based in Canadian

cities.
"There are a lot of new buildings
going up across North America,"
Baldwin said. "We 're all being very
naive if wc think somewhere down
the road there won 't be someone like
me or someone else that won 't start up
a new league."
One of the cities courting the NHL
is San Jose, Calif. , which plans to
open a 19,000-sca t facility in the early
1990s and h opes to attract National
Basketball Association and NHL
teams to fill it.
In seven consecutive games, dating
back to Nov . 19, 1983, when he said
that the New Jersey Devils were "ruining hockey" and "putting a Mickey
Mouse operation on the ice," Wayne
Gretzky has failed to score in the
Brendan Byrne Arena at East Rutherford , N.J.
The Devils beat Edmonton last
month in Byrne Arena, 6-5.
"Part of the reason we play so well
against him might be because of what

he said about us," Devil defenseman
Joe Circlla said.
Said Michel Petit, traded last week
from the Vancouver Canucks to the
New York Rangers: "Playing in Vancouver is like being six feet under."
Apparently, Vancouver Coach Bob
McCammon can relate.
"When a winning team gets down a
goal, they just erase it ," said McCammon , who formerly coached at Philadelphia. "When wc get down a goal ,
everybody on our bench sinks about
four inches. When wc get down two
goals, everybody is so low that I can
sec the whole ice surface."
Since beating the Philadelphia
Flyers on Jan. 20, 1974, the Pittsburg h
Penguins are 0-35-3 at the Spectrum.
They will try to end the streak Thursday night.

Al Secord of the Toronto Maple
Leafs, one of 12 NHL players who do
not wear helmets, doesn 't bclieve he 's
endangering himself by shunning the
headgear.
"It 's like worrying about walking
across a street and getting hit by a
car," he said. "If you think about il , it
mi ght happen , but if you don 't think
about it , it doesn 't happen. "
Say what?
Coach Terry Simpson of the New
York Islanders literally undressed
three of his players recentl y during the
second intennission of a 5-2 loss to
the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Saying that they weren 't trying hard
enough , Simpson ordered defenseman Gerald Diduck and forwards
Brad Lauer and Mikko Makcla to
remove their uniforms and not return
to the ice with the rest of the team for
the third period.
"It was too crowded on the bench ,''
Simpson said. "I needed to make
some room."
Said Makcla: "I feel I deserved it. I

didn 't play well. I tried hard, but ... I
don 't know. What can you say? It was
his decision and I thoug ht it was
right."
Coach Pierre Creamer of the Putsburgh Penguins, on why he doesn 't
join his players in flexibility exercises: "The coach cannot stretch. He
stretches only his head when he tries
something different."
After turning down a five-year
contract last weekend that reportedl y
would have paid him $600,000 a year
and given him a p iece of unspecified
Alberta real estate, Edmonton 's Paul
Coffey continues his holdout amid
rumors that eventually he will be
traded.
Winnipeg 's Dale Hawcrchuk said
that the Oilers weren 't the same witho
ut the all-star defenseman .
"Wi lh that speed and ability to carry
the puck , Coffey gives the Oilers a
dimension no one else has," Hawcrchuk told the Toronto Star.
When , say, Wayne Gre tzky 's line
starts out in a thrce-on-thrce rush , all
of a sudden there 's a little blur Coffey
and they have a four-on-thrce.

LaFontaine s f ortune good

Coffey 's been a big part of their
success, and it seems strange to ihink
of him play ing for anyone else. "
During its telecast of the Pittsburgh-Philadel p hia game last week,
ESPN asked its audience: "Is there too
much violence in the NHL?"
Of the 21,877 viewers who called to
respond , 57 percent said no. The results delig h ted Bill Clement, ESPN' s
hockey anal yst.
"If the NHL did an expansive poll
and a large majority of people wanted
fi ghling out, then I'd say look al getting rid of it ," Clement told The Hartford Courant. "But as long as our
society condones , promotes and endorses a barbaric sport like boxing,
"'lat 's the way I feel. "

The gleam has begun to wear off
four straight Stanley Cups , but
LaFontaine has revived the locker
room axiom , "It 's great to be young
and an Islander .'" He has the world at
his skates, and he 's just 22.

Wc all should be as lucky as Pat
LaFontaine. Wc all should have his
tremendous popularity and sex appeal , a sprawling cedar home at the
top of a hill , a former model for a wife,
a fat paycheck, an investment portfolio, impeccable manners, the gift of
scoring the bi g goal and the sunny
perspective that everything will be all
right.

brown puddles and a blinding allAmerica smile that is straight and
white and makes all the teeny-boppers
squeal . He's been blessed with good
fortune and good looks, and now he 's
one of the most identifiable athletes
playing in New York .
"There arc times when I ask myself ,
'How did this all happen?'"he said. "I
just don 't know."
Despite the sacks of love letters and
marriage proposals he receives,
LaFontaine is, in fact , painfully shy,
embarrassed by all the attention and
so modest it can be infu riating. To
hear him tell it , he's never scored a
goal without a spectacular pass from a
defenseman at the other end of the ice
and he 's never going to be a star,
either.

Either way you say it, among the
racers he loved, Jim Fitzgerald was a
gentleman and a gentle man.
Bob Sharp, who builds and owns
the cars that Fitzy drove with actor
Paul Newman, probably summed up
Fitzgerald's philosophy as well as
anyone when he said , "He was a man
who wanted to race forever."

But he is. The New York Islanders
already had Bryan Trottier, who is on
his way to the Hall of Fame, and Brent
Sutter , who is the team captain , and
bolh are first-rate centers. LaFontaine
doesn't do everything they do, but he
has the speed and marksmanship that
lifts a crowd out of tlie seats, as only
Mike Bossy could
Now the Islanders and LaFontaine
areoff to a great start, and it just might
be the time for him to become the top
gun and top attraction on a club moving to complete a transition to the next
generation. He's the spectacular goalscorer the team needs and he has the
magnetism the franchise needs, too.
He's the next hero.
"If his play ing skills arc all wc hope
they are,"gencral manager Bill Torrcy
said , "he'll have a career other people
only dream about."
LaFontaine scored 38 goals last
season , a career high , and then he was
the savior in one of the bi ggest games
in the rich history ofthe franchise. His
goal in lhe fourth overtime decided an
epic playoff against the Washington
Capitals , completing another great
Islander comeback. It was a plot right
out of a fairy talc.
And before going on to star for
Team USA in the Canada Cup, he
married Marybcth Hoey on June 6 in
a Roman Catholic ceremony, tlie
groom in a traditional black tuxedo
and the bride in the gown her mother
wore. Their romance was righl out of
a fairy tale, too.
Fresh from the U.S. Olympic team ,
LaFontaine arrived in New York in
February 1984 to public acclaim and a
reserved spot in the lineup of a firstplace team. He'd grown up rooting for
the Detroit Red Wings in tlie old , pink
Olympia. He was in diapers when
Toronto's Al Arbour came to town in
black eyeglasses, looking like one of
the Hanson brothers in "Slanshot."

Questions concerning
steroids answered

by Gail Gamble
f o r The Voic e
In recent studies there have been
an equal distribution in finding that
steroids do and do not have a considerable influence on wei ght and
strength. The reason for these inconsistencies in studies is due to proper
controls lacking such as an adequate
samp le si/.c, different types of steroids , di fferenl dosage levels , and drug
administration sty le.
The real problem thoug h in
study ing the effects of steroids is
science 's inability to effectivel y observe the actual drug dosage levels
that athletes use. It is unethical to
create a study which exceeds the recommended dosage.
Steroids have been found to increase weig ht gain , but science has
not been able to study these wei ght
gains once again for mora l reasons.
The wei ght gain could possibl y be fat
or water , not the intended muscle.
And if the wei ght gains arc of water or
fat what use is this to a training

athlete? Also there is no evidence that
a twenty pound increase of muscle
would actuall y improve an athlete 's
performance.
There arc potential risks for those
athletes which use the recommended
dosages. Some evidence leads to the
fear that steroids premature ly lead lo
a closure of the epip h ysis of the long
bones. Large dosages of anabolic
steroids suppress the natural secretion
of gonadatropin which may cause in
males atrophy of the tubules and interstitial tissue of tlie testes, and possibl y atrophy of ihc testicles. Also cnlargmcni of the prostrate gland has
been discovered.
Lastly, liver damage fro m a form
of chemical hepititis has been identified wilh the usage of steroids. Al lhe
moment , the long term ' effects of
chronic steroid use have not been
identified. With so much al risk to
one's health , slcroids do not seem to
be worth the hope of increasing one's
personal performance.
Any questions about health and
fiUicss please send to Dr. LcMura .

Huskies challange New Haven Chargers

By Troy Hunsinger
Staff Writer
The 20th ranked Huskies of
Bloomsburg will have a chance lo
spoil the hopes and dreams of the
tenth ranked Chargers of New Haven
when the two pass oriented teams
meet this Saturday.
Last week saw the Huskies winning easily over the Kutzlown Golden
Bears. DeDea became the all-time
passing yardage leader in the Pennsylvania Conference (Pa.) tipp ing his
total to 6,668 wilh a 189-yard , 16 of
26, performance. DeDea surpassed
the old passing mark of 6,508 yards
(Kevin Russell of California (Pa.),
1982-84) early in the first quarter as
he threw two touchdown passes to
give the Huskies an early 14-0 advantage. The win lifted Bloomsburg to
the 20th ranked position and into a
second place tic in the PC's Eastern
Division witli Millersville witli a 4-2
record .

S taff meeting

Monday November 16
6:30 p.m.
Attendance required

Second year head coach Chris
Palmer has led the Charges to 16 wins
in 19 games since taking over tlie
program after several seasons wilh
the New Jersey Generals of the USFL.
The club opened the 1987 campai gn
on a bad note , losing to East
Stroudsburg, 16-13, but rebounded
win its next eight outings.
New Haven is currently ranked
tenth in the NCAA Division II ratings.
With the top eight teams going to the
playoffs, the Chargers need a few
things to happen. First, New Haven
needs a top ten team to lose. This will
definitely happen because two top ten
teams, West Chester (2) and Indiana
(7) are scheduled to play each oilier
this Saturday. Secondly, they must
win this coming Saturday at
Bloomsburg. Winning this game docs
not insure them a playoff birth , but the
odds are definitel y probable. In short,

the destiny of the Chargers is in their
own hands.
Coach Palmer has onl y the greatest respect for the Huskies. They have
a "real fine football team" says
Palmer. He describes quarterback Jay
DeDea as "outstanding" and said they
(th e coaching staff) were very impressed while watching the films on
DeDea.

The Chargers "run and shoot"
sty le offense has lifted die team to its
highest national rating in the school's
history. Junior Mike Horton directs
the Chargers as quarterback and has
connected on 130 of his 270 passes for

1771 yards and 11 touchdowns. "He
is an excellent passer and reads defenses very well" says Coach Adrian.
Horton is nol having as good a year as
he had last year but is getting lhe job
done quite effectively. This is partiall y the reason why the Charges are
running more this year than they did
last year.
Two talented receivers arc at the
end of most of Horton 's passes.
Flanker/tailback Ron Conycrs has 33
catches for 382 yards and one touchdown , and wide receiver Anton Updalc has caught 27 passes for another
439 yard s and four touchdowns. As a
tailback , Conyers has 48 carries for

205 yards and 12 touchdowns. The
main reason for the high amount of
touchdowns with few carries is that
Conycrs is usually only used as a
tailback when the team is near the
goal line or when their is short yardage to be gained. Conyers is more
often a flanker with fullback Keith
McCoy being the lone back in the
offense.
This is the fifth meeting between
the teams, and each squad has won
two limes. The last game played
betccn the two teams was in 1955,
with New Haven winning by a score
of 25-21.

Another winning season
by Troy Hunsinger
Staff Writer
Bloomsburg is nationality recognized once again as they penetrate the lop 20 in the NCAA Division
II football rankings, They have appeared in the 2()th spot which they hel d three weeks ago before their
lose to Millersville.
This years season marks the Bloomsburg Huskies fifth consecutive non-losing season and , if they
win , would be onl y the fifth time in tho school's history that a Bloomsburg team recorded eight or more
victories in a season.
Bloomsburg 's winning tradition is due, in part, to the graduating seniors and four-year leltcrman.
