Speaker discusses deficit , apartheid
by Jacki Boettger
Staff Writer
Thc deficit-related problems created by budget policies was one topic of
the last Bloomsburg University Provost Speaker of the semester Monday
ni ght.
U. S. Rep. William H. Gray III addressed a public audience in Kuster
Auditorium on "America 's Foreign Policy in South Africa. " The presentation , sponsored by thc University-wide Committee on Human Relations, was
part of thc Provost's Lecture Scries and included a final qucstion-and-answer
period.
Gray explained how the existence of official and unofficial budget policies
arc creating problems in trying to reduce our nation 's deficit. He said that the
official congressional policy of making equal budget cuts and increasing
revenue is being ignored and replaced by a policy which allows the United
States to borrow money and send the bill to future generations.
"Essentially, wc have had a budgetary gridlock for the last three years,"
Gray said. "Where thc administration wants to continue to spend on defense
and at the same time make cuts in domestic programs, while not being for
needed government services."
On the fiscal crisis, which hc claims was accented by the recent stock
market crash, hc added , "There must be a fundamental change in terms of the
fiscal and revenue policy."
Gray, who is serving his fifth term as Representative of Pennsylvania 's 2nd
Congressional District , is chairman ofthe House Budget Committee and has
become a spokesman on U.S. policy in South Africa.
According to Gray, the official U.S. policy towards South Africa includes
sanctions against the apartheid regime. He said several bans that have been
imposed , but added thc bans are not being enforced because an unofficial

BU blood drive stalls
96) p ints short of goal

by Michele Bupp
Staff Writer
Last week's blood drive at
Bloomsburg University fell short
by 90 pints.
The Bloomsburg Chapter of the
American Red Cross Bloodmobile
results last week at BU totalled 580
pints for both collecting days.
The blood sum failed to meet the
Chapter 's goal of 335 pints per
day.
Mary Ann Stasik, director of
Bloomsburg Chapter Bloodmo-

bile, attributes the reduced donation to last week's snow storm.
Several BU fraternities and sororities are tabulating the pints
their members donated at the
blood drive and upcoming drives
throughout the school year , in an
effort to be the most generous
donors. The winning organization
at the end of the year receives a
dinner and plaque sponsored by
the Bloomsburg Chapter.
The Bloodmobile will again visit
BU in January.

University to display
geography exhibit

Bloomsburg university will observe Oeography Awareness week through
Nov. 21 with displays located on campus and in the Town of Bloomsburg.
Recent studies describe an appalling lack of geographic knowledge among
citizens in a nation constantly called upon to provide international leadership.
The Southern Governors Association recommended last year that geography
be taught as distinctive subject matter in K-12 instruction.
George Stetson , assistant professor of geography and earth science, has
initiated the four displays, three on campus and one at the Bloomsburg Public
Library.
According to Stetson, a display case in Hartline Science Center will feature
an audience-participation exhibit for people to see which countries they can
guess without looking at the answers listed at the bottom of the display. Maps,
text books and travel-related items will be on display in the lobby of the
University Bookstore, said Marge Wegrzynowicz, general book buyer.
Bill Frost, reference collection librarian, is in charge of the display in
Andruss Library located on the ground floor. Selected library materials
including books, pamphlets and maps will be cn exibit.The Bloomsburg
Public Library will have a display on the second floor that will include books,
a poster and the proclamation signed by President Reagan designating Nov.
15-21, 1987 as Geography Awareness Week.

policy which is being followed is "ignoring the letter ofth e law."
As an example, Gray said the U.S. Department of Transportation allowed
South African Airways to continue lo land in this country long after existing
law ruled il illegal.
In a report, Gray said President Reagan recommended that the U.S. should
not impose sanctions, but should resort to "active and creative diplomacy" in
urging South Africa to move toward democracy. Gray commented that such
an approach would be no different from thc failed policies ofth e past.
He later pointed out that the U.S. must listen to the South African majority
and find oul their interests. He added that American sanctions in the past have
not destroyed other countries.
"Those who oppose sanctions...must pretend that when South African
government docs implement changes, they (thc changes) are the result of some
inherent desire for democracy...," Gray said.
Dr. Robert Rosholt , chairman of BU's Department of Political Science, had
explained how thc United States had almost no choice but to support the South
African army, which has sent troops into Angola to help tlie fight against
communism. He asked Gray how thc U.S. should deal with the situation , since
U.S. policy also opposes South African apartheid policy.
Rep. Gray said the United States should ask itself if it will be pressured for
non-violent change or continue lo consort wiih the oppressors and the racism
of apartheid?
Gray paraphrased a speech that President John F. Kennedy would have
delivered on the day Kennedy was slain: "America 's greatness lies in her
mission to the world , not in hcr missiles, and as long as we remember that our
mission is to provide for freedom , dignity , and liberty and to hold those
principles high in our foreign policy, then wc will not have to rely upon
missiles."

the national debt Monday night.

Questions remain regarding deficit

by Joel Havemann

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

At his Oct. 22 press conference ,
President Reagan squarel y blamed
Congress for the record federal
budget deficits of his administration.
"For six years," he insisted , "I've
repeatedly asked for less money, and
they've turned around and given me
more to spend."
At the root of Reagan 's charge are
two basic questions: How much defi cit reduction has he proposed in his six
federal budgets? And how much has
Congress actually approved?
Unfortunately, these questions
have no easy answers. In fact , nobody
- not the president's Office of Management and Budget , not the Congressional Budget Office , not any of
the outside groups Ihat keep track of
the budget - has sought to determine
how much the president has proposed
to reduce deficits and whether Congress has given him more or less than
he has asked. The reasons are as
complicated as the trillion dollar
budget:
-The nature of the budgets themselves. The president's annual budget
does not list his deficit-reduction
proposals. And Congress' disposition
of the president's budget is harder yet
to analyze. No single document pulls
together the effects of all the spending
and tax actions that Congress takes
each year.
-The variable baseline. Deficit reduction is measured not against what
the deficit was the previous year but

against what it would be this year
undercurrent policies - the so-called
baseline. Defining current policies is
trick y. In a period of growth in the
defense budget , for example, does
current policy mean last year's program levels or 5 percent more than last
year 's program levels? Yet the size of
the baseline determines the amount of
deficit reduction.
-The whims of the economy. All
estimates of spending and tax revenue
arc highly sensitive to changes in
economic conditions. When the economy falls short of expectations, for
example, revenue from the income
and payroll taxes do likewise. Similarly, when inflation exceeds expectations, so does spending for everything
from Social Security benefits to nuclear submarines.
The president proposes his budget
eight months before the beginning of
the fiscal year. Projecting economic
conditions that far ahead is a risky
proposition at best.
Congress then adopts a budget
resolution that is generally based on t
he same economic assumptions as the
president's budget. For purposes of
analyzing their deficit reduction proposals, the two are thus comparable.
The trouble is that the congressional
budget does no more than guide Congress' subsequent, piecemeal spending and tax bills. Estimates of the
impact of those bills are based on
separate economic assumptions; the
assumptions that apply to a single bill
sometimes change considerably as
the bill works through the legislative

process. In the end , deficits rise or fall
because of both policy actions and
changes in economic assumptions;
separating the economic effects from
the policy effects is almost impossible.
-The whims of the weather. Just as
thc economy affects tax revenue, s o
does the weather influence how much
money the government pays in its
farm subsidy programs. Better
weather generally results in more
government spending because good
weather means bountiful harvests and
low market prices. But farm spending
can also change as a result of policy
actions by the president and Congress. When spending actually rises
or falls - and farm spending has been
extremely volatile in recent years analysts have great difficulty separating out the changes resulting from
policy and those resulting from the
weather.
-Phony cuts. Further complicating
the situation is that the president and
Congress both typically claim unreal
deficit reductions. In its first month in
office , for example, Reagan 's revision of President Carter's fiscal 1982
budget included $44 billion in domestic savings to be proposed later - but
they were never proposed . That same
budget was based on an intentionally
unrealistic estimate of the economy's
future, which became known as "rosy
scenario."

war to allow emergency food distribution.
It was on the Asmara-to-Mekele
road that Eriu ean rebels attacked and
burned a convoy of 23 trucks carrying
450 tons of relief food supplies on
Oct. 23. The attack shocked the international community and raised what
Taft called "an enormously important
new dimension" to efforts to supply
food to "over 5 million people" facing
what AID is calling a drought "as
serious or even more serious" than
one in 1984-85.
Taft indicated that AID does not
believe Ethiopia is doing enough to
avert another famine disaster.
"This is not a situation where there
is a lack of resources from the donors
available. This is definitely a situation
in which there is a lack of political will
on the part of the combatants in this
25-year-old struggle to provide the
necessary safe passage, which we call
open road, own risk," she said.
"That issue, the security issue, is the
one that is driving the famine concerns that face us now," she added.
Taft said there are sufficient relief
supplies in Ethiopia's main ports and
towns as well as trucks to transport

Dole, R-Kan., characterized it as
"blue smoke and mirrors." And last
year, when Congress was trying to
meet the $ 154 billion deficit target set
by the Gramm-Rudman act for fiscal
1987, it moved a $680 million installment of the federal revenue-sharing
program by five days so that it would
fall at the end of fiscal 1986 instead of
thc beginning of fiscal 1987.
-The long run. Perhaps worst of all,
it is impossible for anyone to determine what the long-term impact
would have been of proposals that
were never put into place. What happens in the first year of a budget is
really much less important than how it
affects spending and revenues down
the road. But when Congress rejects a
Reagan plan to eliminate a domestic
program or the White House refuses
to go along with a tax increase, nobody can say what might have been
and everybody has to start all over
again.
-The difficulty of analyzing efforts
to reduce the deficit has undoubt edly
contributed to thc fai lure of Congress
and the administration to accomplish
more. When the deficit remains high,
the public cannot figure out where the
blame belongs.
Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon , the
ranking Republican member of the
Senate Finance Committee, commented during a break in Tuesday's
budget negotiations: "We've never
faced up to this (deficit problem) beCongress can play the same game. fore." When asked whether Congress
Its 1985 deficit reduction package and the administration are finally
was so full of gimmicks that Sen. Bob doing it, he replied: "Not so far."

The United States Tuesday issued
an urgent appeal to both Ethiopia and
anti-government rebels to allow the
United Nations and Western private
voluntary groups to safely transport
aid to millions of people again facing
famine in northern Ethiopia.
The U.S. appeal for both sides to
adopt "an open-road, own-risk" policy came as the Ethiopian authorities
Tuesday closed down the main road
for transporting vital relief supplies
from the city of Asmara in northern
Eritrea south to Mekele, one of the
regions worst affected by the drought.
We don't know how long the roads
will be closed, but they are the lifeline
to providing food for people," said
Julia V. Taft , director of the U.S.
Agency
for
International
Development's disaster-relief office.
She has just returned from a four-day
visit to Ethiopia.
"We're very adamant, as are all the
donors, in pleading with the government and the rebels to let the food
flow," she said. Taft urged both sides
to assure safe passage for relief convoys and accept a cease-fire in their

them. But the security situation was
such, she said, that both foreign relief
and private food-laden trucks either
were being blocked by the government, or their drivers were afraid to
travel after the Oct. 23 attack.

Nothing at BU is that easy Registrar shows no mercy

With 96 credits 10 my name , thc
second day ol" scheduling mem walking ri g ht up to the terminals and getting all the courses I needed for graduation this May in under two minutes.
A dream come true , until I checked
my mailbox to find a memorandum:
"This is to notif y you that through no
fault of yours or ours... " (kind of tactful , wouldn ' t YOU say?)
Anyway, to make it simple, this nofault memo tossed my butt oul of two
require d classes which I had scheduled in order to get my dip loma at the
end of the spring sememstcr. Dr.
Chapman did. however , send along
an incomplete schedule drop/add
form witl i instructions to sec my
advisor and select additional courses,
(what a nice guy)
So , in quite a subdued manner , I
showed this memo to my adviser
explaining my need for the two
courses.
"Mmm ."" he said , "You need these
courses to graduate. Go see Dr.
Chapman. " (sound like lhe bediming

ofa nm around?)
Down the hall I met up with Dr.
Chapman and gave my speech on how
I don 't graduate without these
courses.
His reply was, "Sorry , but there arc
marketing and management majors
who couldn 't get those courses, and
they need them to graduate. So we
dropped all non-marketing and management majors and let the people
who couldn 't schedule it into the
class. I can 't let you in or it would
overload the class. Go see your chairman , Dr. Olivo."
Since Dr. Olivo was out of town for
a few days , I decided to visit thc
registrar's office and see what they
could do, which was NOTHING. (At
this point I got tired of running around
and decided to sit and think about all
this)
Now , it doesn 't require a lot of
thought to figure out that those with
more credits get classes before those
with fewer. How then , can Dr.
Chapman be kicking mc out and al-

lowing other students, who must have
less credits than I , to lake my place? Is
Dr. Chapman making up his own
policy?
When thc chairman of my department relumed , hc said that I defi natcly needed the one course but that
he could substitute a class in psychology or something for the other business course, (now wc are getting
somewhere, but what courses arc still
open this late in scheduling ?)
Returning to Dr. Chapman on
Wednesday , as hc told mc , isn 't going
to be as easy as hc made it out to be. I
was told that hc is out of town until
Friday. As of now I still don 't have
the courses I need to graduate, and I
know there arc many others in thc
same boat who have gone to higher
authorities than myself - Thc Dean of
Business , The Provost , and even
President Ausprich , and still nothing.
So, as thc memo says: Thank you
for your cooperation. Courses removed: 93.345.02 - 93.449.01

Dear Editor
Neither rain , nor snow, etc. etc., as
the saying goes, can deter the mail
from being delivered. The dedicated
always come through.
Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12, were the two days designated for the blood drive at
Bloomsburg University. To refresh
your memory— it snowed.
To our delight , close to 600 students, staff and faculty showed up to
donate blood. If people in general

Please don 't be too quick to judge

Deai* Mr. Mellon ,
Many people have opinions about
matters that , in one way or another,
affect them. Here is mine on a subject
that is getting much attention , abortion. You , being a man , can not get
pregnan t, therefore , you can make a
lot of comments on abortion. There is
no way that I or any other woman who
has gone through an abortion can
make you understand the complications and/or problems that develop
due to an unwanted pregnancy.
Granted, thc women ihat use it as a
method of birth control are wrong.
Also, even though unwanted children
do get abused , it is not onl y those who
suffer from their parent/guardians
sickness.
If you could for just a few moments
of your day, Mr. Mellon , try to put
yourself in my situation. I am a 19year-old woman who before coming
to college had been a virgin. As all
(the majority of) freshmen women
who start at a college, I too began
changing my sexual attitude.
To put it bluntly, I began to "sleep
around". I would go to two or three
parties a night , (during the summer),
get completely encbriated , then if I
saw someone who expressed an interest I would start a conversation or
"accidently " bump into them , etc.
Already I know what you are thinking. I should have been on birth control. This is true. Had I known about

it, I would have been. My pregnancy
did not happen that summer, though.
I had almost failed out of the summer
freshmen probation program and
decided that I would straighten myself out.
I came back in the spring and
brought my G.P.A . up. I went to two
(yes only two) parties that semester.
During this time I got to know
someone who had been in an earlier
class whom I had had an interest in.
We eventually had sex. He would not
wear a condom and I (as naive as I
was) would not get birth control pills.
To tell you the truth , Mr. Mellon , I
thought you had to have your paren t 's
permission to buy them. No matter
though , the damage had already been
done. I was pregnant. The next day the
boy and I broke up and I had a strange
feel ing that something terrible was or
had already happened.
My best friend bought an early
pregnancy test for me and the results
were positive. I was pregnant. I went
to the Family Planning Service and
again took a pregnancy test with
hopes that the first had been wrong. It
wasn 't
' Every day I was getting sick. I was
so tired all I could do was go to class,
then come home and lay down.
Throughout the ordeal, I would cry
trying to Figureout what I was going
to do. I refused to give up my education. I was not going to end up like my

office administration doesn t seem to
care any more than thc chairperson of
management. Thc dean of the department , well he doesn 't even seem to
realize the department of office administration exists, let alone wha the
requirements are. We are told to fill in
anything just so that we can graduate.
What can we do? We are expected
to schedule upper-level courses at the
same time the freshmen are scheduling. Is this fair? When will the administration straighten itself out?
This is not the first time some of us
have had problems because of the
administration 's mix-ups. When will
students stop paying for the mistakes
of the administration? Something has
to be done? Please someone help us!!

To the Editor
After successfully completing
th ree and a half years at this university
it amazes me how incompetant, nasty
snd uncaring the administration is.
The registrar, as many of you know,
once again "screwed" the students.
(Along with the college of business
administrators.)
Thc nice man who runs scheduling
appears to have let sophomores juniors, and arts and science majors fill
up thc classes ment for business majors. The means that most graduating

mail boxes saying that their required
management and marketing classes
wcre dropped.
This was fine for most marketing

mother (a maid) or any of those
women I had seen and heard about
who lived on welfare wiih hcr four
kids.
I decided after much thought tliat I
would tell the father. At firs t he asked
me if I was sure that itwas his. He dien
asked me what I was going to do. Not
"what do you think we should do?" At
this point I had already decided that I
was not going to keep the child. When
I told him this he decided he didn ' t
think he agreed to that , therefore ,
leave him alone, he didn 't care. I
knew this would be his reaction although I must admit for a minute I
thought he might be an adult about the
situation.
At this point I tried to think of
anybody who could help me. None of
my close friends could help, they had
no money to help. The only people
left were my parents. You cannot
imagine how hard it was for me to tell
them that their little girl was pregnant ,
that the boy who had 'helped' was no
longer involved and she wanted an
abortion.
At first my mother told me that I
was going to quit school, have the
child and raise him/her in a single
parent environment. I refused! There
was no way I was going to ruin my life
on a mistake that could have been
prevented. Yes I know that it could
have been prevented Mr. Mellon. I
also know that it was my fault for

being so naive.
My parents did eventually decide
that they had to help me. How could
they not? I had always been a pretty
good student , never gotten into
trouble and had my mind made up to
what I was going to do with my life.
Gelling pregnant was no in that plan.
My mother aged more than you can
imagine. I know I hurt her more than
I could have in any other way.
So now I am here again still raising
my G.P.A. and as of now, have not
gone to one party or had sex with
anyone. Mr. Mellon you are allowed
your opinion , but unfortunately do
not have to worry about becoming
pregnant so therefore can preach up
and down about the sins of
abortion.Until the time you can experience it you should give those of us
who have a little consideration towards our feelings.
I know I killed an innocent child. I
know that thousands of people, who
cannot have children, could have
given that baby a wonderful home. On
the other hand, I know I would not
have been able to handle being a
mother.
Think about what I have said, not
only for my sake or for your sake, but
for the sake of the other millions of
women who suffer internally every
day of their lives.

Phil Nee entertains students

by Joe Cullinan
Staff Writer
Laughter filled Kehr Union Sunday
ni ght as comedian Phil Nee performed for Bloomsburg University.
Nee, who is of Chinese descent, focused most of his material on popular
conceptions and jok es about the Chinese. He took most of his material
from real life situations of his life in
Ncw York.
Nee, who was late arriving, explained his tardiness with a story
about how he got pulled over on Route
80 by flashing his headlights at a state
trooper in front of him.
From there he went on talking about
Chinese drivers. "People always
come up to me and say 'Phil! How
come you Chinese can 't drive?'
" So I went lo China Town in San
Francisco and asked thc brothers
about il. And do you know what? For
every story you have about an accident with a Chinaman , they 've got
one about how they tied up traffic one
day. •
"They say to me, 'You know the

light that say turn left? Well, I turn
right. Screw up traffic for hour. '"
He also reminisced about his home
i n New York, where his mother would
cook Chinese food every day except
Thanksgiving, when she would cook
a turkey. "There we would be, the
whole family, all 10,000of us, and we
would all want the wing. It was like a
Kung Fu movie at the table."
Another topic was doing laundry.
He talked about the clepto-amputee
who always steals a sock from your
wash. Then he raised the intriguing
question, "Why are the dryers the
same temperature as the surface of the
sun? What are we drying that it has to
be this hot?"
Probably the most exciting topic
Nee discussed was condoms. Hc took
great pleasure in describing the different shapes, textures and colors of
them . "Should I wear the red one
toni ght dear? No, it makes you look
like a German shepherd ," he jokes.
Nee has been working professionally as a comedian for about two
years. He started out when one of his

friends put his name in for open mike
night" at the Improv. That went over
well, so he began auditioning for other
comedy clubs.
Then, in 1985, he won Showtime's
"Funniest Man in America" award.
Since this required two months of
touring, he decided to quit his job as a
graphic artist for ABC TV in New
Yosk. "I fi gured this was a once in a
life time deal, and I didn 't want to be
calling in sick from a truck stop for
two months."
Since then he has been touring colleges and clubs around the country.
When asked if he preferred night
clubs or colleges, he said, "At first I
really preferred the night clubs, because of the atmosphere, and people
arc drinking. Now I like the colleges
more than I did when I first started.
"Now when I go, I see all these
young girls, around 19 or 20, and I
think , 'Wow, maybe if this had been
ten years ago, things might have been
different. It would have been great. I
would be 19 or 20, and these girls
would have been around 9 or 10."

Perhaps I' m being a little too hard on
Arnold. He tries hard , and obviously
isn 't hired for his acting abilities.
He's hired for who he is, and, more
importantly, for his looks. He's Arnold Schwarzeneggar: weightliftcr
extraordinaire. He's very big, very
strong, and very mean (when he wants
to be). That's why he's starring in
"The Running Man. "
I can't imagine anyone else battling
thc assassins in this movie - huge men
witli names like Buzzsaw, Sub-zero,
Dynamo, and Fireball, other than
Arnold.
Also starring in the futuristic tale is
Richard Dawson as the sinister host of
"The Running Man ," the world's
most popular game show.
The game show is a far cry from
"Family Feud", though. As host and
boss of the show, Damon Killian
(Richard Dawson) is in charge of
picking the contestants.

The contestants, in this case, are all
prisoners. The contestants are taken to
the studio and then transported down
to a huge underground city which was
destroyed by an earthquake. The contestants must find their way through
the rubbled city. If they survive, freedom is their reward.

ety is based on violence, which is why
"The Running Man " is the number
one show in the world, as even 80year-old women cheer the assassins
on.
The best scenes are when Arnold
fights the assassins. The stunts are
exciting and the assassins meet their
untimely death in an inventive way.
And of course, Arnold has his usual
batch of one-liners that are so prevalent in his previous films.
By far, the best acting is done by
Dawson . He'salmosttoo horrify ingly
convincing as the manical host.
Yaphet Kotto (from "Alien") does a
respectable job in a small role, and the
assassins (which feature ex-football
star Jim Brown) are hilariously menacing.
"The Running Man" offers moderate entertainment if you're willing to
put your brain on hold for two hours
and just sit back and watch. The
squimish type may have to cover their
eyes once in a while, and it may be
adyisable to have an interpreter handy
whenjArnold speaks-. But fortunately,
that's only a few sentences at a time.

"Doors " stars Lauren McLernan, Bridget Sullivan, and Tony Diettcrick, shown here. Directed by Karen Ansclm, the play makes a
social comment about divorce and its effects on children .

'Prom IV imp roves horror story

by Kevin Thomas

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

^Running Man * thrives on violence

The only problem is the assassins
who are out to stop them. Arnold
becomes one of thc unlucky contestants after he is framed by the government and accused of killing innocent
citizens.
He's joined underground with two
fellow prisoners and the women who
turned Arnold in for the apparent killings, only later realizing he was
framed. Together they battle the
straight-out-of-the-comic book assassins. That quality is why the movie
works for the most part. That , and it's
sense of humor.
But why is the future always
painted so black? Thc yearis2019and
the entire population is comprised of
blood thirsty animals, drooling as they
watch the killings on television. Soci-

"Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II"
is the "Blue Velve t " of high school
horror pictures.
Director Bruce Pittman and writer
Ron Oliver have treated the genre as
but a point of departure for both a
comment on American Gothic smalltown morality and a nightmare fantasy with imagery reminiscent of
Coctcau and Dali.
Il has considerably more style and
imagination than the original 1980
"Prom Night ," which was also Canadian-made and to which it is not a
sequel but rather an ambitious variation .
Back in 1957 at die Hamilton High
senior prom, its queen, the blatantiy
promiscuous Mary Lou Maloney
(LisaSchrage), is about to be crowned
when tragedy strikes, the result of an
enraged boyfriend' s prank gone
awry.
Thirty years later Mary Lou's
vengeful spirit is inadvertently uncorked, eventually possessing pretty
Vicki Carpenter (Wendy Lyon),
whose angelic blonde looks and quiet
demeanor are totally at odds with

Band challenges mediocrity
by Dave Carton
Staff Writer
Though some people may not realize it, Public Image Limited (PiL for
short) boasts a frontman who was the
former vocalist for one of the most
influential bands in history, the Sex
Pistols.
Formerly known as Johnny Rotten
while with the Sex Pistols, the singer
for PiL now uses his given name,
Johnny Lydon. However, don't look
for a change in the way he sings or the
subjects he addresses.
Aftcra waitof more than a year, PiL
have released "Happy?" , their eighth
album , on Virgin records.
Johnny Lydon described PiL as
more of a way of life than amere band,
and this was reflected in their music.
Adopting a sty le of variety taken to
the extreme, PiL decided to give the
people not what they wanted,but what
they never expected.
Throug hout PiL's career, each of
their albums has proven to be a departure from the last.
Their debut album,"Public Image",
released in 1978, left the Sex Pistols
completely behind. "MetalBox ",their
second album , was brilliant in every
respect , from its packaging (three
records in a movie-tin) to its sound
(heavy bass, odd keyboards and guitar, and wailing vocals).

From 1980 to 1984, PiL released
four more albums, "Paris in the
Spring ", "The Flowers of Romance ",
"Live in Tokyo", and "This Is What
You Want...This Is What You Get ".
Each of these kept people wondering
what would come next; perhaps this
was Johnny 's plan all along.
In 1985, PiL released an album that
seemed to be their ultimate statement.
Entided "Album " in vinyl form , "Cassette " in tape form , and "Compact
Disc " in digital form , the album was a
tour-de-force in generic packaging.
Songs with one-word titles like
"FFF" , "Home ", "Rise ", "Ease " and
"Bags " were listed like ingredients.
Underneath the simplicity, however,
was a complex collection of expert
playing ability and catchy tunes.
This was an album that would not
be easily followed.
It's now 1987 and we have a new
PiL album. The band has a semi-permanent lineup, a new video,and a new
tour is scheduled. Johnny even has a
new haircut.
The question at hand - is PiL's new
album as good as their previous material?
Let's start with the title: "Happy? "
Without the question mark, just another title. But with it, a different
meaning. Perhaps a return to the attitude that everything should be ques-

tioned, that placid compliance is the
downfall of free-thinkers everywhere.
See BAND page 5

Mary Lou s aggressive, brazen behavior.
Pittman and Oliver view contemporary hi gh school life as somewhat less
than inspiring, but they and specialeffects expert Jim Doyle spend most
of their time devising some stunningl y surreal supernatural and dream
sequences that evolve from the most
mundane of everyday situations.
For example, in poor, tormented
Vicki's mind a volleyball net turns
into a vast , sticky spider's web threatening to entrap her. In another impressive sequence Vicki is simply sitting
at a schoolroom desk when Mary
Lou 's ghastly arms reach out from a
blackboard . Vicki is swifdy pulled
into them , with the blackboard turning into a pool of churning brackish
water in which she struggles to keep
from drowning. Admirably, the film
makers manage to sustain their nightmare logic from start to finish.
For all their contemporary sense of
libera tion , Vicki and her classmates
have suddenly been thrust into the
clutches of '50s morality when Mary
Lou 's spiri t rises up like the Creature
from the Black Lagoon to protest such
a severe fate for having played
around.

That enraged boyfriend has grown
up to be Hamilton High's principal
(Michael Ironside), and the youth
with whom he caught her having sex
is now the priest (Richard Monette) at
the Catholic church just across the
street from the school; botir men are
figuresof unspoken, deeply repressed
guilt.
The years have turned Vicki's
mother (Judy Mahbey) into a dour
religious zealot who dominates her
ineffectual husband (Wendell Smith).
The adults of this film seem to be as
intent on denying the existence of evil
as those of "Blue Velvet ".
You do not, however, have to take
"Hello Mary Lou" (MPAA-rated R
for strong language, standard horror
picture grisliness and some nudity) at
all seriously, and it probably would be
a mistake to do so.
Certainly, it is not on the deeply
personal, highly idiosyncratic artistic
level of the David Lynch film , but it is
a splendid example of what imagination can do with formula genre material. Much credit for making the film
work also goes to Wendy Lyon for
making credible Vicki's behavior in
what can only be called incredible
circumstances.

Campus changes announced

Authorization for design on phase
II of campus improvements for the
handicapped at BU was recentl y announced by Erma C. Fielder, facilities
coordinator of thc Office of Budget
of thc Stale System of Hi gcr Education.
Robert Parrish , vice president for
administration , said a total of
$840,000, recently released by Gov.
Robert Casey's office , would be used
for design and construction of elevators for Carver Hall , Haas Center for

thc Arts, Benjamin Franklin Building, and Navy Hall. "Elevators arc
needed badly in these buildings ," he
said. "Ben Franklin is especially
acute because thc onl y way to get to
essential sludent services such as
counseling, orientation , financial aid ,
and placement is up a fli ght of stairs."
Fiedler said the base construction
allocation was $700,000, leaving
$140,000 for a design professional to
be selected by die Department of
General Services. Parrish said tiie

design phase would take about 10
months, and funds for implementation will have to be released upon
completion of the architectural design.
Parrish also noted that sometime in
die future a second capital projec t of
approximate ly $1 million will be
needed for additional improvements
in handicapped standards in the areas
of access doors, ramps, and sidewalk
cuts.
Thc initial phase of improvements
for the handicapped began six years
ago with some ramps, access doors,
and sidewalk cuts , according to Parrish. "Of course, that phase wasn 't
nearl y adequate to take care of growing campus needs for the handicapped ," he said.

Men 's basketball team ready
to challenge for PSAC crown

by Lincoln Weiss
Staff Writer
Last year when thc Bloomsburg
Huskies men 's basketball team lost in
thc PSAC Eastern Division to Millersville , the thought was "wait until
next year."
Well next year is here and the
Huskies seem ready to record their
22nd strai ght winning season and
make another run at the plal yoffs. Thc
team returns with almost all of last
year 's team that struggled early, but
came together nicel y to post a 17-11
overall record that included winning
11 of their List 14 games.
"Last season , wc started witli a lot
of pieces ofa good team ," said head
coach Charlie Chronister. "I was very
pleased with thc way wc came together and finished a.s a team."
This year 's team boastsa solid team
with skill at all positions. At center
returns Alex Nelcha , the team 's top
rcboundcr . Although Nelcha broke
his foot during drills , hc is expected
back by mid-January. To lake his spot
until hc returns is Matt Wilson.
Wilson provided good scoring ability and excellent rebounding skills off
thc bench hist year and should play
well as a starlcr in thc earl y part of the
season.
At forward positions will be Dave
Carpenter and Dallas Wilson. Carpenter started many games as a freshman last year and displayed a solid
game in bothscoring and rebounding.
Wilson played off thc bench last
year and showed improvenemt with
each game. Hc can be an all around
player. Steve Mclchoir and Kyle
Miller provide the Huskies with a
solid bench at forward.
In the backcourt arc returning starters John Williams and Joe Stcpanski.
Will iams became thc player everyone
expected him to be last year. Hc can
do it all , penetrate , rebound , shoot
from the outside and most importantl y, play defense. Williams constantl y frustrated some of the conferences test guard s last year and came
away with many key turnovers.
Stcpanski is a proven team leader.
He is the spark plug of this team. Hc
can score points and is an excellent

INDIVIDUAL TEAM REPORTS
AND SEASON OUTLOOKS:
KUTZTOWN - Mi ght very well
be thc team to beat this year in thc
PSAC. All the starters arc returning
and unless this team has a major
breakdown , they will make thc playoffs. Marty Egg leston can at limes
dominate the board s and hc has a good
supporting cast which makes them
that much belter. Butch Hills and
Maurice Williams arc solid players
who can turn in big games. They
didn 't really recruit , they reall y didn 't
have to. DIVISION CHAMPIONS
BLOOMSBURG - By far one ol
the most improved teams during thc
1986-87 campai gn. This improvement should continue despite some
off-court difficulties. The team is
solid from thc ground up. A playoff
spot i.s not out of the question and ihey
have a legitimate shot at thc PSAC

Bloomsburg
University 's
women 's cross country team completed their most successfu l season ever Nov. 7, finishing fi ft h
behind four nationall y ranked
teams at the National Colleg iate
Athletic Association Division II
East Regional Championships,
Head women 's coach Tom Martucci attributes the team 's success
to a talented group of dedicated
runners. The team's top runner
was running, at best, 21 minutes
and 46 seconds for the 3.1 mile
race in 1984.
This past season , the whole
squad bettered this time by at
least 20 seconds. The top six varsity runners broke the 20 minute
mark and two runners dipped
below 19 minutes.
"I have seen the team grow over
the past four years to be able to
compete with the best in NCAA
Division II," Martucci said.
The team's success began early
in the season with a third-place
finish in the Millersville University Cross Country Invitational ,
the first meet of the year.
The women gave consistantly

strong performances throug hout
the season , including first-place
finishes at the Manslield Invitational , the Husk y-hosted Bloom
Classic , and the Philadephia Textile-hosted Bill y Harris Memorial
Invitational .
At the Pennsy lvania State Athletic Conference meet al East
Sfroudsburg, the team earned a
third-place behind naiional power
Indiana University of Pennsy lvania
and nationall y ranked Edinboro.
The highest BU has finished in
the PSAC meet was last year 's sixth
place effort.
The hi ghlight of the season , however , was the fift h finish at the regional meet in Rhode Island. The
team 's performance placed them
ahead of nationally ranked Millersville and Edinboro.
Three of BU's top runners Brenda Bisset , Laurie Alexander
and Pam Mitchell - were awared
All-Conference Honors for their
outstanding performances regional.
The women finished the season
with a 2-0 dual meet record.
Led by Bisset , a junior who has
been running in the number one
spot since her freshman year , the

ball handler. Stcpanski also posesscs
the intang ibles that arc so important
for a winning team.
Chroniste r had this to say about
Stcpanski , "I feel very good about our
point guard position. Wc have a
proven leader in whom 1 have a lol ol
confidence. "
In recruiting thc Huskies picked up
players to add depth to the backcourt.
Newcomers are Bob Coppolino from
Philadelphia , Kevin Reynolds from
Bethlehem , Crai g Phillips from
Washington D.C, Kelvin Morris
from Bronx N.Y., and transfe r Jim
Hi ggins of PhocnixviNc who comes
to Bloomsburg from Keystone Junior
College.
"Wc got what we wanted in our
recruiting efforts ," said Chronister.
"Wc picked up talented peop le who
could hel p us al thc wings and add
some depth at the point. "
The Huskies start the season tomorrow at thc Gctysburg tournament.
Bloomsburg will play the number two
team in Division II , Mt. Saint Mary in
thc opening round with thc winner lo
face the winner of the Gettysburg vs.
Lincoln matchup on Saturday. Thc
Huskies then return for the home
opener against York (Pa.) on Monday, November 23.

champ ionshi p. Earl y success will
hinge on Mat Wilson at center while
Alex Nelcha is sidelined. John Williams and Joe Stcpanski have already
proven they can play with thc hi gher
calibre ofthe PSAC elite. PLAYOFF
BOUND
MILLERSV ILLE - Thc defending PSAC champions should make
the playoffs . They arc solid in all
aspects of lhe game , but there rcmai ns
one big question. Can 7-1 Carlton
Thackcr play ccnlcr? toug h act to follow after last year 's
team but should give a prctly good
encore performance. CHANCE TO
REPEAT
MANSFIELD - Simpl y a mediocre team. Thc type of team coaches
fear the most because on any given
ni ght this team can beat you and blow
all possibilities of a playoff spot.
Garrett Broderlck must be the man for
rebounding and Jeff Clayborn must
continue to improve. If this team finds
any consistency, look for a late run al
thc playoffs. HAS POTENTIAL
CIIEYNEY - A rebuilding year.
Gone are Clarence Green , Wilbert
Jones , Anthony Robinson and
George Lee. They will have to rely on
the play of last year's bench and incoming freshman. This team will take
its lumps , especiall y earl y, but could
turn out to be like last year 's
Bloomsburg team. OFF YEAR , BUT
DANGEROUS
WEST CHESTER - A young
team that should improve. Poor defense and onl y an average offense
from a team tliat has no dominating
center and didn 't'gcionc in recruiting.
Everyone is back , but they rely loo
much on the scoring of Tom Pcderson
and Mike O'Malley. If these two
players are not on , winning for lhis
team is not likel y. AT LEAST A
YEAR AWAY
EAST STROUDSBURG - This is
a team that lost three of their key
players from last year, and were horrible with them. Onl y one solid performer is returning in Rodney
Johnson. This team needs hel p badl y
in every phase of thc game , and didn 't
get it in their recruits. FROM BAD
TO WORSE

Ice hockey team skates to 3-0
The Bioomsburg University ice
hockey team improved its record to 30 with two victories Uiis week behind
the play of freshman center Bob
Weiss. Weiss was literall y on fi re as
hc scored 9 goals in thc 2 games. He
seemed lo always be in thc right place
ai thc ri ght time especially when a
goal was desperately needed.

In lhe first game on Monday night ,
the Huskies , who are now in fi rst
place in lhe N.E.P.H.L., defeated the
Lords Valley Nordmcn 10-7 in a very
fast paced game.

minutes later.
By periods end , the Huskies fell
behind 4-2 on a later goal by theNords
that left them thinking in the lockerroom about how they could pull this
one out.
At thc beginning of the second
period , Lord s Valley struck right
away on a short-handed goal , but 1
minute later, Huskies defenseman
Bob Zarko answered it with one of his

Five minutes inlo die period, the

talented runners.
Senior Sharon Haug, who has
been with the team since Martucci
started coaching in 1984; is the only
runner from the top five scorers

According to Martucci , Hang has
been a dedicated team leader.

"She had to adjust her student

first two goals of the third period to
put the Huskies up 8-6. The Nordmen
were only able to score one more
before Pat Nueman added his second
goal of the night and the T.J. Joyner
put the icing on the cake when he
skated the puck the full length of the
ice and beat two Nord defensemen
before lofting tlie puck into the top
comer of the net.
In the game, Mark Prince, playing
goalie for a resting Mike Donchez,
turned away 12 of Lords Valley 's 19
shots.
On Tuesday night, the Huskies
handed the Wilkes-Barre Bears another loss in beating them for the
second time in as many meetings
between the two teams with a final
score of 7-5. This time, the Huskies
were able to strike first on another
Bob Weiss goal midway through the
period on a pass from linemate Pat
Nueman. Although they drew first
blood, BU found themselves down 21 by the end of the first.
Within a minute of the second period, freshman left-winger Pete Valli
evened everything up with a 20 foot
slap shot from the right point off a
pass from T.J. Joyner. Three minutes
later, Weiss put the Huskies up 3-2 on
a pass from Joyner.
Then, with 4:12 left in the second,
Joyner scored one of his own when
defenseman Dennis Slavin led him
out of their own zone and then TJ.
skated the length of the ice between
two defenseman and slipped one by
the Bear goalie while the two defenseman were still hooking him from
behind.
This goal sent BU into the third
period with a 4-2 lead which was lost
within the first two minutes of the
period. Then Weiss took charge again
and scored his eighth goal of the
week, third of the game (for another
hat trick) to give the Huskies a 5-4
lead.
When the Bears tied it up again,
Weiss went to work once more and
put BU up for good on assists from
Nueman and Kortnic.
Pete Valli added insurance with his
second goal of the night into an open
net on a lead pass from defenseman
Sam Forker. In the game, Mark Prince
played well stopping 13 of the Bears
is snots.
It should be recognized that the
Huskies played this week without
their two captains who play on the
first line, Tom Barbush (injury) and
John Ford (suspension). They also
used3 defensemen, Slavin, Zarko and
Forker who all had to play the whole
game both nights.
