Beer bust riot aftermath shrouded in confusion
by The Voice staff
It started as a party, led to a bust,
turned into a riot, and evolved into a
protest.
The raid on the Beta Sigma Delta
fraternity house by the State Liquor
Control Board, State Police and
Bloomsburg Town Police which occurred on Thursday night has been
called many things, among them the
worst case of violence in BU' s 148year history.
The aftermath of the incident left
150 cited for underage drinking and
three charged with disorderly conduct , according to Bloomsburg
State Police officials.
Besides some structual damage to
the town of Bloomsburg , relations
between the university and
Bloomsburg are strained following
the protest and violence trailed the
police raid.
Jim O'Connor, a Phi Sigma Xi
member who participated in Thursday night 's incident , said the length
of time it took for the police to remove the students from the house
may have, led to the observing
crowd's unruliness.
(The police) were taking
(peopie) out three at a time,"
O'Connor said. "On Lightstreet
Road (where the inciden t began),
there was a lot of stuff going on at the

time." He said because of the number
of people attending parties and mixers it did not take long for a crowd to
gather.
As the students were being taken
out of the Beta Sigma Delta house at
11p.m., a group gathered outside the
house and began chanting.
As the crowd grew, Bloomsburg'
police called for assistance. At midnight , fire trucks were called in to
hose down the crowd.
According to the Press-Enterprise ,
Vice President of Student Life Jcrrold
Griffis and Assistant Vice President
of Studen t Life Robert Norton said at
the time of the incident the fire trucks
made matters worse.
"They're just intimidating those
kids with these fire hoses," Norton
said at the time of the incident.
"We want them to get the fire trucks
out of here and let (the crowd) dissipate," Griffis commented during the
situation.
The crowd , with reports varying at
times from 300-1,500 students ,
marched down Lightstreet Road to
the police station , down to Public
Square and finally up to the house of
BU President Harry Ausprich. Once
there, the crowd vainly called for
Ausprich to come out and discuss the
situation.
According to the university 's

statement, Griffis told the chanting
crowd outside of Ausprich's home
(Buckalew Place) he would meet with
students the next morning to discuss
the situation and student concerns.
The crowd dispersed around 3 a.m.
O'Connor, one of three students
who met with Vice President for Student Life Dr. Jerrold Griffis and Assistant Vice President of Student Life
Robert Norton the morning after the
incident , said, "I think it was wrong
being the president of the school
when something like this happens, I
thought it would have been only right
if he came out and addressed the
crowd."
"It would have been inappropriate
for Dr. Ausprich to have tried to (talk
to the crowd) that at that time,"Director of University Relations Sheryl
Bryson said at a press conference
Friday morning.
When asked if Ausprich would be
available for comment later, Bryson
said, "(President Ausprich) is in a
meeting all day today." She later
added that "My comment is
(Auprich' s) comment, I'm speaking
for the university."
Ausprich contacted news agencies
Friday afternoon to talk about the
incident.
"I felt it would be very appropriate
to let the staff already working with

the students do their j obs," Ausprich
told the Press-Enterprise later that
day.
"We don 't feel it did get out of
control ," Bryson said. "Students and
police handled themselves well."

Graduate cleared
of serving minors

A Bloomsburg University graduate
who was accused of serving alcohol
to two underaged men was cleared of
the charges Thursday.
Mary A. Gilpin , 22, a May 1987
graduate currently living in Salt Lake
City, Utah, was found not guilty of
furnishing alcohol to minors during a
jury trial in Columbia County Court.
The jury returned with the not guilty
verdict after 25 minutes of deliberation.
Gilpin was accused by Bloomsburg
police of buying vodka for James
Brando Jr., 17, and Kristopher Thompson, 21, both from the Benton
area.

Brando and Thompson were later
charged with breaking into St. Paul's
Episcopal Church , Wesley, United
Methodist Church and St. Columba
Catholic Church , stealing numerous
items and causing extensive vandalism.
Brando was ruled delinquent earlier this year by the court and placed in
a forestry camp for youths. He admitted to being drunk at the time of the incident.
Gilpin denied purchasing alcohol
for or furnishing it to the pair. She said
she knew Thompson through a relationship he had with one of her former
roommates.

Members of Beta Sigma Delta face
eviction from their Penn Street house
in May of 1988.
Despite complaints by manager
Lois Ohl of the member's treatment
of the house, several members contradicted the landlord and her manager
on certain tenant-landlord issues.
According to the Press-Enterprise,

manager Lois Ohl, who was speaking
for landlord Sharon Babb, said "Trust
me those young men will not be living
there next year. Their lease runs out
and so do they."
"We've done nothing but try to
improve it ," Ohl said, "but they don 't
respect the house." According to the
Press-Enterprise, the Thursday night
beer bust was not the reason for the
eviction. Ohl said she and Babb de-

"We believed all the LCB raids and
the police raids have been sponsored
by the university," O'Connor said.
After the meeting with Griffis,
O'Connor pointed out this was not the
case.

According to a university statement, students, student life administrators, the LCB, the state police and
Bloomsburg police will meet sometime after Thanksgiving to find solutions to the incident.

BU organizations help local disabled child

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
Several campus organizations are
combining their efforts to raise
money for a local family whose child
suffers from numerous brain- tumor
complications.
Danny Appleton, the son of Miles
and Sheri Appleton, Berwick, developed a brain tumor at the age of nine
and a half-years-old. Today, at age
12, Danny must take several types of
medicines and has been in and out of
various hospitals. The costs have
soared to the sum of $250,000 since
the start of Danny's illness.
The student groups of the Columbia Association for Retarded Citizens (CARC) and the Council for
Exceptional Children (CEC) and the
special education department are
sponsoring a hoagie sale in order to
help ease the burden of medical
costs.
Also, the brothers of Sigma Iota
Omega, the sisters of Alpha Sigma
Alpha, and the Residence Hall Association will be contributing to the
cause by selling and making the hoagies.
"I think it's really wonderful that
you (college students) care enough

to do something like this," Appleton
said.
Earlier in the semester, Sigma Iota
Omega sponsored a ball-bounce
marathon which was dedicated to
Danny.
"Danny spent several hours on
campus with the fraternity members,"
Appleton said. "They treated him
very well. Danny took to them right
away. He had a good time."
According to his father, Danny met
several Sigma Iota Omega fraternity
brothers one Saturday while attending the Special Olympics held on
campus. He and his wife did not know
about the marathon until late on the
day it was being held.
William Jones, a professor of communication disorders and special
education who advises the CARC and
CEC, said he learned about Danny
through Dr. John Trathen, director of
student activities.
"John Trathen contacted me and
said these parents called and asked if
any student groups could help and
raise money for him (Danny)," Jones
said. He added that the CARC and
CEC, as well as the special education
department, decided to get involved
right away.

During the past two years, Danny s
parents have been working to change
the present laws pertaining to parents
with catastrophically ill children.
They organized a conference of parents with similar concerns, which was
held at Geisinger Medical Center on
Nov. 19.
"We did pretty good," Mrs. Appleton said about the conference. "About
100 people showed up."
According to her husband , State
Rep. Ted Stuben, head of Special
Education of Pennsylvania Gary
Makuch, an aid from Rep. Paul
Kanjorski's office, among others ,
attended the meeting.
"The meeting got a lot of parents
together to voice their opinions to
people," Appleton said. "A lot of
people took note of what went on
there."
Appleton said that the House Bill
1898, the Catastrophic Illness and
Children Relief Bill, is "a nice idea
but not practical."
"In order for parents to get money
with this bill, they must prove they
spend 30 percent of their gross income on the child's expense," he
added. Appleton explained that the
way the bill is presently worded, not

house came from their own money
not from funds from Babb.
The brothers said that Babb had a
deposit from them which was to be
put back into the house for
maintenence."We like to know when
will Sharon Babb ever decide to pour
that deposit money back into us," said
one member of the fraternity. "She
promised us in the fall of 1986 that the
house would be painted in the summer of 1986 and it wasn't."
The lease signed by the nine men
expires May 1988, Ohl said. The
double house could hold 12 tenants
legally, Ohl said.
The Beta Sigma Delta brothers also
adressed the incident on Thursday
night.
"I think the police handled it
badly," one said. "In the past we've
gotten along well with the local police."

The underl ying issues

by Don Chomiak
Contributing Editor
This is directed to the students involved in the riot Thursday night
when the Beta Sigma Delta house was
raided.This is also directed to the students of Bloomsburg University who
are under 21.
YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGED .
You have a right to be angry. The
force used during the riot Thursday
was excessive. I am amazed ihe
Press-Enterprise did not mention that
in addition to the fire hoses, billy
clubs, mace, and in a few instances
axes were used either directl y on students or as threats.
The brutality involved in some instances was not only unjusti fiable , but
indicative of how afraid of the students the local authorities are. This.
however , is only pan of the issue .
To understand why the events of
Thursday night took place , it is necessary to look at the situation whi ch has
existed at Bloomsburg Uni versity for
years.
A majority of the students believe
the only thing being under 21 mean s is
that they cannot get into Hess ' Tavern
legally and they , for tine most pan.
must settle for the beer parties. No one
considers the illegality of being under
21 and drinking alcohol.
In reflecting on the events of Thursday night , remember the consumption
of alcohol is the single most popular
recreational activity at Bloomsburg
University for students over and under 21. And it has been this way for
years.
Wh y? How could such a situation
be allowed to continue considering
the increasingly serious substance
abuse problem our nation faces?
As an investigative reporter for and
then editor of The Voice. I gained the
confidence of a good numbe r of university and local officials , as well as
private citizens. Much of the background inform ation used in putting
together certain stories came from
these individuals.
It is from these officials and private
citizens that the following has been
collected. It appears that the universitv has been trvins to cet local offi-

cials to act on what has been an increasingly serious underage drinking
problem in the town of Bloomsburg
for a numbe r of years. The university,
according to these sources , has said ,
"arrest them all. "
In a recent edition of the PressEnterprise , Mayor Bauman said that
though he was aware underage drinking occurs in town , he was not aware
that it was a serious problem. To believe this is to accept the conclusion
that Mayor Bauman has had his head
in the sand during his entire stay here
in Bloomsburg.
There is no possible way he could
not be aware of the complaints of
residents , the arrests for underage
drinking , and the panics held by both
the greek o r g a n i z a t i o n s
of
Bloomsburg University and at pri vate
residences over the hist five years
alone.
Though Bloomsburg Police Chief
Larry Smith refused to comment to
the Press-E ^.:erp -ise Thursday night ,
he did say on WHLM Friday that he
has lost respect for the BU students
because of this incident. This past
respect might , in itself, be challenged ,
but that is another editorial. It is safe to
say both he and Mayor Bauman have
been asked by the uni versity in the
past to "do their job. " The town is
outside of uni versity jurisdiction.
It is here that the truth appears to
emerge from all the rhetoric circu lating. These sources claim that the
town 's senior law enfo rcement offi cials tire afrai d to act against the college parties out of a fear of the students and for mis reason have refused
to act in the past.
It is only now . with the addition of
the state police task force , that such
actions have become "possible. "
The brutality was one th 'ing. The
students ' reason for protest was another. It centered on a wish to defend
their rig ht to party. To quote the
Beastie Boys. "You gotta fi ght for the
right to party. " This is a ri ght they do
not have.
It is infuriating to know that the
students were chan ting "Kent State "
during the riot. How dare the BL' students involv ed in the not. v. ho will not

fight for those things which are truly
important , like a better education ,
attempt to compare themselves to
those who protested for basic freedoms at Kent Suite and ended up
dy ing for ill!
To a large number of students at
Bloomsburg University, party ing is
as routine a pan of their lives as going
to class. They have grown to accept it
as being the norm. This is the reason
for the protest when the Beta house
was raided. The students believe
partying is a ri ght. The illegality of it
is pushed aside with phrases like , "It ' s
always been this way," "We ' ve been
doing it for years ," or , as inferred in
die Press-Enterprise by one student ,
"If you think busting one party is
going to stop underage drinking,
you ' re w rong. "
To the under 21 crowd , if you get
busted for underage drinking it can
destro y your chances for a career in
the military or a federal job because
you may appe ar to be at risk of being
an alcoholic. Also , die number of
students accessing the Counseling
Center at BU for help with alcoholrelated problems has been on the increase. This is not intended to preach:
it is to let you know what is happening.
These raids will not end underage
drinking at Bloomsburg University.
They may force the close of organized
parties to anyone not on a list. They
may drive some to simply drink at
home. Ifthe raids continue , and I think
they will , they will end the overt and
flagrant , mass violations of the underage drinking law . They will curtail the
unlicensed sale of alcohol to minors
and adults which takes place in
Bloomsburg on a grand scal e at least
three nig hts a week.

NEW YORK— Johannes Miquel.
a fervent 19th-century socialist, was
with a friend whe n approached by a
beggar. The friend reached into his
pocket, but Miquel stopped him , exclaiming: "Don ' t delay the Revolution!" That seemed human e if you
believed that destitution is caused by
capitalism, can only be cured by revolution and that revolution is delayed
by charity or reforms.
Today, there are radically different

homeless persons who live on the city
streets. Most are mentally ill. Manyare the sort, who, a few generations
ago, were in institutions.
One reason deranged homeless
persons are today so conspicous is
that three decades ago a new pharmacology and a new ideology intersected. The ideology, "deinstitutionalization," rejected not only the deplorable practices in many institutions, but even the principle of institutions. The pharmacological development was in psychotropic drugs that
supposedly made it possible to act on

the ideology.
New anti-psychotic drags made
possible the control of psychotic episodes. But although the drugs eliminated deranged behavior , that elimination aid not itself necessarily transform the patient into someone certain
to function competentl y in society .
For some, w hose psychotic episodes are rare , the drugs are sufficient
to make them socially competent. But
for many people , the drugs do not stop
the deterioration of personality. As
they suffer the pathologies and victimization of dereliction , they lose
even the discipline to take the drugs.
Today the homeless are again
making headlines because this city
recently adopted the policy of removing the "severely disturbed" homeless
from streets for involuntary hospitalization. State law permits that— when
there is substantial risk of physical
harm to the person or to others. The
first person removed was a women
who had lived nearly a year in fron t of
a hot-air vent on Second Avenue near
65th Street.

fact that the womean had a history of

for winter sleeping outdoors, and was
found by city psychiatrists to suffer
from paranoid schizophrenia and to
be delusional and suicidal.
The Civil Liberties Union psychiatrists found her rational, dealt with her
practice of running into traffic by
noting that many New Yorkers jaywalk, and diagnosed her destruction
of money as an assertion of autonomy.

Busted: The party is over

Please let ' s not kid ourselves, ei-

Nov. 19 a night to remember

by Paul Mellon
Staff Columnist
For those who were there , it was a
night to remember. The events that
occured on Thursday, Nov . 19 outside
of the Beta Sigma Delta house and
downtown Bloomsburg will surely be
remembered as the night of "the riot."
It was a ni ght when the collective
outrage of many students at die treatment they receive from the town police finally boiled over and spilled all
over town. The brunt of the anger was
channelled at the incredibl y ;nept ,
pathetic and unnecessary display of
brute force exercised by the town and
State police.
And just as sickening is the false
information and plai n lies that the
authorities are using to describe the
situation.
Being an eyewitness , I saw firsthand how a bad situation gTew worse .
I might also add that if someone were
to ask "What is the best way to start a
riot? " I would respond by saying to
employ the same tactics used by police to raid Beta Sig.
Since I have been at this university ,
and I' m sure mis is true for many years
before that, it has been standard procedure for police when "busting " a
party that is too loud or large, to knoc k
on the door and tell the owner that the
party is over and everyone mus t leave.

have panics. Indeed , most if not all
colleges in this country do the same
thing.
Now it appears the town is teling us
we can ' t party because of all the underage drinking which violates the
law . Thus, when the police decide to
arbitrarily infiltrate a Greek fraternity
with undercoverpolice and proceed to
arrest 150 students they are only
doing their job. Well, to be blunt , that
is a bunch of crap.
First of all , by deciding not only to
bust the party, regardless whether it
was noisy or not. and then arrest 150
students is completel y unprecedented
in this town. Since it was obviousl y
going to take over an hour and a half to
transport all these "law breakers " to
the station it should have been clear
that many students would gather
oiuuiiu IU IUUII Las peculiar c ",cut.

As the crowd grew in size, it grew in
volume and the police didn ' t much
lik e this. There were so man y people
that they naturall y spilled into the
stree t afterwhieh die police began to
force people back on the sidewalk.
After a few eggs were mown, the
police came up with the capital idea of

instead of litt le , lncndly Bloomsburg,
U.S.A.
Well , the water cannons were obviously the last straw as it appeared that
everyone was now united against the
clearly bruta l action being employed
by the police.
After this , the crowd , which at its
largest was at least 1500 to 2000,
marched to the police station then
through town. The whole time , you
could hear beaut iful renditions of
"The Star-Spang led Banner " and
"GodBless America " sung in chorus
by hundreds of marchers . I heard it
somewhere reported that the police
chief claimed we wanted to burn the
flag. What I saw was die flag being
run up the pole at city hall to a loud
round of cheers.
People are obviousl v going to make
"the riot " into more that it was. But for
the most part , the night was characterized by non-violence.
Sure , the crowd walked down town
chanting and raving but no major
damage occured and die opportunity
was surely mere. In that respect, I
think the students deserve credit for
demonstrating good , c-straint. Nor can
the night be called a "protest " against
society or the rule of law.
No , what the "riot " turned out to be
was a perfect illustration of what
happens when police decide to use
their democratically aquired power
against the people (yes students are
people') in an unjust , extreme way.
Put simpl y, the police decided to
make an example by pushing the students as far as they could , only this
time we pushed back.

think this: We are approachin g this
problem characteristically, which is
to say backwards. We are focusing

But the community , too, has rights,

attended to, will leave the homeless

The judge made much of the fact
that psychiatrists disagree and that
p hychiatry does not attain the precision of mathematics. That does not
mean that psychiatry can not come to
defensible conclusions , but let us delay the entry of such experts into this
process.

The community has a responsibility
to provide shelter , in exchange for
which it can require, as appropriate ,

also has a responsibility to remove

Can 't lose what
you do not have

To the Editor
This is in response to Najma
Adam 's article which appeared in the
Thursday, Nov. 12 issue of The Voice.
In her article, she quotes Whitney
Houston , "No matter what they take
from me, they can 't take away my
dignity. " As I read her article, and
considered the content of Najma 's
past articles, I wondered how anyone
could take away from her something
which she never had.
It is my understanding, Ms. Adam ,
that you claim to have been ph ysicall y
attacked in the Kehr Union five or six
weeks ago. If the attack actually happened , certainly you should have gone
to court. The purpose of court in such
a case would be to punish the alleged
assailant in such a way as to discourage any further attacks. I do not see,
however, what going to court has to do
with maintaining your dignity . If
you 're looking for dignity in the outcome of a court case, you 're looking in
the wrong place.
Your insistence on making your
case public , through your articles
published in The Voice , indicates that
you believe you arc defending an ideal
of some sort which is worthy of public
attention.
What is the ideal you are defending?
Is it justice? If that is the ideal, you arc
not addressing the issue by ignoring
facts pertinent to your case. Justice is
something most appropriately determined in a court , though , not on an
editorial page. It is also best determined when a fair hearing is given to
both sides. I respect your alleged assailan t for not engaging in a public
squabble with you and allowing the
case to run its course in the appropriate
place.
Perhaps your ideal is women 's
rights. In your article, you ask the
question , "Do you know how difficult
it is for a feminist to admit she was
hit? " I do not understand why that
would be so hard for a feminist, or any
one else, to admit , unless he/she didn 't
clearly understand the situation.
Having been beaten , raped , etc. is
humiliating, but the perpetrator of
wrong is the attacker. If the victim
truly understands that it is the assailant
who has done wrong and that he/she is
not at fault, his/her feelings of humiliation , anger embarassment etc. derived from that experience will not be
long lasting.
Perhaps, Najma , the campus court 's
recommendation that you visit the
counseling center, which so offended
you , was not a bad idea. I'm not saying
that sarcastically, I'm saying it because I truly believe it would be helpful.
Also, it is important to recognize
that there are qualities which arc prerequisites to higher understandings of
such ideals as justice and equality.
Equanimity I hold to be the most
important. A person without this quality more than likely will not be able to
truly appreciate any other ideals for
her/his judgement will be impaired by
emotions, which, positive or negative .

limit the understanding if in excess.
When thinking of the day the alleged incident happened, I wonder,
Ms. Adam , if your mind is calm and
rational or filled with feelings of
anger and thoughts of revenge.
If you still feci humiliated in admitting you were hit , you still must
feel some anger. The tone of your
previous articles also is indicative of
anger.
In onestudcni 'sanonymous letter
to her mother , which appeared in
The Voice about a month ago, the
writer stated that she would have
physical y attacked and harmed the
man who she claimed assaulted her
if she was capable of it. I strongl y
suspect, Ms. Adam , that this article
was yours , unless there was another
case just like yours that happened
around the same time.
You also quoted Whitney Houston , saying "Everybody need a hero,
people need someone to look up to,
I never found anyone who fu l filled
my need. A lonel y place to be, so I
learned to depend on mc..."
Have you reall y not found anyone
to look up to? If you are lost, I think
you need to depend on someone outside of yourself to help you , whether
directl y or indirectl y. I' ve found
that reading books to be a great help.
Did you know that Mahatma
Gandhi , the man who led India in
achieving independence peacefull y
from the U.K., was a lawyer? In
reading his autobiography this
summer, I found out that , although
he was in what might be called the
most quarrelsome profession in the
world , he tried to settle most of his
cases out of court. He did this bccasuc he realized that many of the
cases could not be truly resolved in
a court room. The people involved
would receive a decision from a
judge or jury, but what they truly
needed, understanding, would not
be achieved.
Socrates, too, understood the
destructiveness of people who tried
onl y to argue well, and not understand well. The goal of the former
was to win , the latter to see. Socrates ' point was that without understanding, merely trying to win
can ofter be destructive.
I find Kahil Gibran , Mahatma
Gandhi , and Socrates to be some
people worth "looking up to". Perhaps if you have no one who you
particularly admire, you might investigate one of them.
Don 't let your mind be ruled by
anger. It 's been my experience, and
the experience of many people I respect, that it is a destructive voice to
listen to. Let go of your anger.
If you trul y have trouble, "go to
the temple", and strive for understanding. The counseling center, a
church , or a good book could all be
good first steps. Your problems arc
nothing to be ashamed of. We all
need help at times.
Peace and understanding

Incident Number One: I went to the
Bloomsburg Fair with an Indian
friend. Although I understand her language, I do not wish to speak it for
personal reasons.We communicate in
English only. As we were walking,
two college or high school students
walked alongside us then made jibberish foreign noises as they invaded our
personal space in an attempt to make
us feel out of place. As we continued
forward I could hear the echoes of their
laughter. My friend, though disturbed ,
did not mind since she will go "home"
to India. I, on the other hand , am living
at "home." In need of an explanation
and solacement , I concluded that these
were merely high school students.
Yes, I rationalized their actions to
relieve my frustration.

emblem proudly, walking towards
us. Admittedly, I felt uncomfortable
with this public display of affection
from her since I was raised in
America. However, having knowledge of her culture I accepted her
warm gesture while at the same time
realizing the periphery of my situation as the three "AMERICAN"
students came closer. The three
college students snickered at us and
one of them blurted derogatory
remarks as he put his hand out in a
gayish manner.
Absolutely disgusted , I wished I
had a gun. Actions, I thought , would
certainly speak louder than any
words. Indeed, it was a thought
produced by the rage, anger, and
helplessness.
In the town of
Bloomsburg I am distinct. The
majority has labeled me a "minority."
The following is a result of these
two experiences and many more
which have occurred in my three
years at Bloomsburg University.
The following is dedicated to those
five male students, all those who are
ignorant, obtuse, misinformed, uninformed, and to those who care not.
This is for those of you who are so

Naivete is not an excuse

To the Editor
This letter is in response to the
female student who, after having an
abortion , is defending it. Your socalled naiveness is no excuse for the
taking of an innocent life. Though
Mr. Mellon cannot get pregnant, it is
apparent that he gives human like the
highest value. This is more than I can
say for you , a woman who had a
human life inside of her and decided
to abort it.
I am a 22-year-old woman who
became pregnant at age 16. 1, too, had
abortion as an alternative. This option was quickly discarded as human
life holds the highest value in my life.
I decided to keep my child. Adoption
was an option you had but you did not

consider a life as important as your
career.
Telling my parents was one of the
hardest things I ever had to do in my
life. My parents are well respected in
the community . My father owns his
own business and was involved in
local politics. To top it all off , my
brother fathered an illigitimate child
two years earlier at age 16. I also
worried and cried about what to do.
After making the decision to keep
my child , I wondered what would
happen in my life. I was only a junior
in a Catholic high school and I
wanted to go to college. With the
support of my parents and a terrific
nursery school (funded by the government) I did just that. I will gradu-

ate from Bloomsburg University in
August 1988.
After being leftalone by thechild's
father, I eventually met a wonderful
and married him. My daughter now
has a real family. She is 5-years-old
and in kindergarten .She is ajoy in my
life that nothing else could ever replace.
Don 't get me wrong, it has been a
long and difficult road but my decision has given me much more than it
could ever have taken away.
So please don 't make excuses by
stating you were naive,etc. etc. If you
are determined you can be successful. Frankly,I see no reason to murder
an innocent child.

Pro-lif e stands for all lif e
To the Editor
A lot of weighty words have been
thrown around recenUy. So you say
you are pro-life? Really?
I assume then that you value the
life of all people— black and white,
sick, aged , and poor.
. I assume you know that- men and
women are created equal. I assume

then that you also oppose the death
penalty.
I assume you deplore our country's
military build-up and the withering
away of social programs that help the
children you so desperately want to
save.
And you must have the empathy to
not judge women who have had an
abortion.

Many people who call themselves
pro-life are just anti-abortion. That is
important but there is much more to
being pro-life. Think about that
word. If words are reduced to selfrighteous slogans, they are meaningless.

Our administration should help us
face this disease since anyone who is
sexually active can get it.
There should be AIDS seminars in
the dorms for all incoming students
and attendance should be mandatory.
Could we even go as far as to have
free, confidential AIDS testing and
birth control available at the health
center and bookstore?
Fourth , does the administration
think that their decision will stop
students from having sex?'Of course
not. They will just let students have
sex unprotected and unaware of all
the facts AIDS. It would be more
confident if the health center provided birth control. Also, the health
center might be able to provide it
more cheapl y since birth control can
be expensive.
I feel that the students of BU deserve some real answers. Many colleges are starting to provide birth
control. Why can 't ours? AIDS can
kill anyone. It is about time our administration takes off their rose-colored glasses.

We Would Like To

I'n the end, we all stand as humans

Incident Number Two: Friday,
October 19, 1987, at approximately
6:25 p.m. my Indian friend and I were
walking past Sal's. In conversing with
my friend , I said something humorous
and she put her arm through mine (to
show affection) as we both laughed.
As I looked about I saw three college
students, one of whom wore a BU

To the Editor
College is supposed to broaden
one's horizons, help make one more
responsible and, of course, provide
an education. I'm sure the administration of this university believes
that they help us become wellrounded individuals. In many ways
they are successful , but this letter is
going to question an area in which
they are not successful.
Bloomsburg University will not
sell condoms or any other birth control methods on campus. I feel there
are many problems with this decision. I do not want to address the
moral issues relating to AIDS, but the
health issue.
First, does the administration really think that we practice abstinence? According to the National
Research Council statistics, almost
67 percent of males and 44 percentof
females have had sex by the age of 18.
We are now young adults and many
are sexually active. Doesn't the
administration realize this? .
Second, for those who are sexually
active, is it not responsible to protect
oneself against AIDS? If we are
having sex we should be smart
enough to realize the consequences
of our actions. Would it not be easier
for the students to be responsible if
the administration did not have their
heads buried in the sand?
Third , a recent national study has
revealed that college students are not
changing their sexual habits even
though there is the threat of AIDS.

secure in your little worlds.
Columbia County is composed of
28 municipalities including
Bloomsburg. The population in
these counties for 1987 totals 63,900.
Not surprisingly, the number of minorities for this year equals .35% or,
in simpler terms, 224 people out of
63,900. The college has fallen short
of the quota for minorities in the year
1987.
It is also predicted that within the
next 10 years United States will have
an increase of 40 million Blacks, 44
million Hispanics, and 8-10 million
Asians. As an educational institution, Bloomsburg University has an
obligation to society; that of educating and preparing the future to coexist peacefully. To rid the majority of
its paranoid fears about the minority
remains a challenge. It is no secret
that Bloomsburg is having difficulty
in dealing with its less than 1,000
minority students.
Some type of conference, meeting,
or special symposium is held almost
every year so that the administration
of this university can help to "meet
the needs of minorities." TheMinority StudentRetreat, which takes place
year after year is indicative of how

the needs are met. The minority students get together for a weekend, talk
about their common problems as
minorities, guest speakers come and
share their viewpoint and the
Bloomsburg students come back to
Bloomsburg. Is this a solution to the
problem that Bloomsburg is lacking
minorities?
No. Instead I suggest that those
students who are ignorant be sent on
a retreat so they can come to grips
with the reality that minorities are
indeed, humans. Why not mandate a
class which teaches students about
other peoples and their culture? It is
as pertinent as a class in biology is.
So many times I have been asked
what my "race" is or where my
"home" is. Biologically, race is applied to those whose meansof reproduction are different from the human
method of reproduction.
Moreover, is having blond hair and
blue eyes a prerequisite to living in
America? Is this why I am gawked at
when Ireply that "home"is Lancaster
and it constitutes a 2 hour drive?
Yes, it is only after coming to
Bloomsburg that I have become
aware of die fact that I am a minority.
In fact, the majority can never truly

understand how they make minorities feel. Do you know what it's like
to go to an office at least three miles
from town, where you have never
been, and to have the receptionist say,
"Oh yeah, I have seen you around
Bloomsburg." Or worst yet, to belO
miles from town and have a man
make a pass at you because he too has
viewed you around town and finds
you "exotic."
The students who come to school
here, for the most part, come from
small towns and provinces. Mom
and dad went to college and so does
the student. The family goes to
church every Sunday. The dog, the
station wagon, and the family all in
tact Is it any wonder why the students don't think for themselves?
Yes, an exaggeration to illustrate a
point.
After four years of dealing with the
minority issue, I admit it's time to go
where nobody knows my name. A
place where I blend in with the
crowd. Somewhere where I stand out
not for my differences but instead,for
my individualism as a human.
What can I give or what will it take
to make people aware that in the end
we all stand as humans?

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
Frustrated congressional and Reagan administration negot iators struggled
late into the night Thursday to beat Friday 's deadline for producing a deficitreduction package that could avoid automatic , virtually across-the-board
spending cuts.
The oudine of a possible package took shape as negotiators returned to work
after a dinner break . But the plan was promptly denounced by all factions , and
it appeared possible that the negotiators would approve a package that mig ht
go down to defea t in Congress.
Negotiators said that their best hope was that opponents of the plan would
find the alternative - the S23 billion in automatic spending cuts mandated by
the Gramm-Rudman act - even more distasteful. The law requires Reagan to
sign an order putting the cuts into effect unless laws are in plac e to save the S23
billion some other way.
The spending cuts themselves - 8.5 percent from all domestic spending
programs except Social Security and some other benefi t programs , 10.5
percent from all Pentagon programs excluding personnel costs - would be
painfu l enough.
But beyond that, budget negotiators said, allowing the across-the-boa rd
spending cuts to take effect would demonstrate to world financial markets that
Washington has lost contro l of the deficit. That, they warn , could trigger
another steep decline in stock prices like the 508-point plunge in the Dow
Jones industrial average on Oct. 19 that triggered the current budget negotiations in the first place. President Reagan implored the negotiators to produce
an agreement and Congress to support it.
"'While the final package may not be all that I might want , it will not be all
that Congress wants either ," Reagan said in a speech to the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce. "But it is vital that the negotiators complete their work now .
"Any agreement that comes from these sessions probably will not be the
final word on reducing the federa l budget deficit , but it will be the right signal
at the right time and will show our determination to work together to solve this
problem. "
The package that was taking shape Thursday would reduce the deficit by
about S30 billion from the SI80 billion that it is otherwise expected to reach
in fiscal 1988, which began on Oct. 1. Its primary elements include d S9 billion
in higher taxes, S4.9 billio n in defense spending cuts , reductions of S2.6
billion in most types of domestic spending and S4 billion worth of reductions
in Medicare and other programs that guarantee federal benefits to certain
individuals.
Despite Reagan 's plea, Republicans in Congress led the opposition to the
plan. They complained that it included too little in spending cuts and too much
in new taxes.
"Nobody is supporting the package ," Rep. Connie Mack , R-Fla., said. "It's
not a compromise , it 's a retrea t."
Democrats said that they would oppose the package unless Republicans
agreed to vote for it. "I' m not going to ask Democrats to jump off the cliff while
Republicans wave at us ," House Budget Committee Chairman William H.
Gray III , D-Pa., said.
In the absence of an agreement to trim the deficit, Congress could pass
legislation postponing Friday 's automatic spending cuts. A measure to delay
the cuts unti l Dec. 16 was cleared by the House Rules Committee Thursday
for a vote by the full House.
But there appeared to be httle sentiment in the Senate to face the public
condemnation that would probably greet a decision to put off the across-theboard spending cuts without agreement on some other deficit-cutting package.
And even an agreement among the negotiators would not be enough to avert
the across-the-board cuts. Only legislation implementing the agreement - a
combination of tax increases and spending cuts - could do that. Even if a
majority of the House and Senate could agree on such legislation - no sure
thing - it was too late Thursday for Congress to move an llth-hour deficitcutting package through the entire legislative mill.

Americans take more than 20 billion aspirin lablcts a yc4ar. According
to The Department of Health and
Human Services, the total American
daily comsumption of aspirin
amounts to more than 20 tons.
Aspirin is an acctylsalicyclic acid ,
which is related to the willow bark
Hippocrates used 2,300 years ago to
relieve pain and fever. Since the beginning of the century, consumers
have relied on aspirin as a common
pain reliever - for fever , headache,
arthritis, and muscle aches.
Aspirin, works effectivel y if used
correctly. However, it is often overused. A 1978 Federal Drug Administration random survey of 634 American college students discovered that
one in four used aspirin within a 48hour time span.
In grades 4 through 12, nearly 40
percent of the 3,306 students surveyed had taken aspirin within a
week. Statistics show that 42 percent
of donors at a blood bank had taken
aspirin so recently that traces of aspirin were still in the blood.

Aspirin is available at drugstores as
well as gas stations , gift shops, and
food stores. Conscqucndy, man y
people don 't think of it as a drug, and
often underestimate both its effectiveness and its potential for toxicity.
Excessive aspirin usage can harm
the body. An increased amount of
stomach acid , aggravated by overusage of aspiri n , could cause internal
bleeding of the stomach which , in
turn , could cause an iron-deficiency
anemia.
Pregnan t women also run a high
risk of delivering deform ed infants at
childbirth if they ingest aspiri n during
pregnancy. A study of Australian
women showed that the infants of
aspirin users had significantl y lower
birth weights and were more likely to
die around the time of birth.
When properl y used , aspirin can
relieve pain for most conditions.
However, its effects arc not entirely
known. Like all other over-thecounter drugs , aspirin should be used
with care. Says the FDA Consumer,
"It doesn 't just have the potential to
make sick people healthy; it can also
make healthy people sick."

Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) is so
tough that after a crocodile tried to
bite half his leg off , he crawled
through the woods of Walkabout
Creek for a week until he found help.
But can he survive in New York?
Watching the entertaining adventures
of this Australian bushman in New
York is the prime action of " 'Crocodile' Dundee " .
The first third of the movie is devoted to showing Crocodile Dundee
in his own surroundings , the Australian outback. An attractive and nervy
American reporter (Linda Kozlowski) can not resist a story about the
man who survived the crocodile attack.
She travels to Walkabout Creek to

find out about the man behind the
legend. Mick agrees to show her
where and how the encounter with the
crocodile happened. After being
saved by Mick when a crocodile tried
to attack her, she decides she wants to
prolong the reporting of her human
interest story - and her association
with Mick - and suggests that he return with her to New York . He agrees.
Mick is a complete stranger to the
city, and assumes that everyone must
be friends; why else would so many
people want to live together?
The native bushman takes to the
streets of New York, equipped with a
foot-long bush blade, to make friends
with everyone he meets. Mick proves
that he can survive anywhere, although he is a bit disarmed by city
elements like elevators and escala-

I was second runner-up.
I kept on pursuing the crown , because it sounded like fun and an opportune way for me to get in touch
with both the hearing and deaf and to
make the dea f realize that they can do
more than they 're led to believe, and
to promote understanding and aid of
the hearing to the deaf.
I am speaking all around the state.
Besides all the PSU campuses, I visited my old hi gh school at homecoming and other area schools. I' m heading to Ncvil Home of Aged Deaf next.

ideal tone for the play.
Jeff escapes by turning up the volume on his radio, which plays songs
including "Pressure " by Billy Joel
and "Why Doesn't Anybody Stay
Together Anymore?" by Phil Collins.
Also, he plays imaginary games with
his friend Sandy, played by Bridget
Sullivan. Sullivan displays a lot of
talent in playing children 's theatre.
Her tomboy character and quick-witted nature worked to make the play a
success.

At the end of the play Jeff's parents
decide that a divorce is the only solution. They explain to Jeff that they
still love him , even though they do not
love each other anymore. Jeff's bitter
confusion is overturned by his
parent's concern forhis emotions, and
he realizes that through communication instead of escape, problems can
be understood.
Although "Doors" is a children's
play, its insight is comforting to all
ages.

Deafness is not handicap
by Jozsef Horvath
Staff Writer
Rcba Matosuf , Miss Deaf Pennsylvania , said that hearing impaired
people ought to have a positive attitude toward deafness at a lecture on
Nov . 19 in Kehr Union. She knows
many people who deny being deaf.
However, Rcba would like diem to
recognize that deafness is'nOt a handicap and denial of their deafness can
only hinder their development.
These people try to make themselves accepted by the so-called
"hearing world ,"although in different
ways. Those who preten d not to be
deaf may think their "handicaps " will
adversely affect their careers. So they
work too hard to fit into the "hearing
society". Along this process, they
may lose some features of their identity.
Rcba says that people should understand that there is no such thing as

When people treat me differently: I
let them know that I can do whatever
I want to do. I'm assertive. You have
to be to go to PSU Main Campus. I
say, "I can speak for myself!" I don 't
want the hearing to ever take our
(deaf) abilities for granted.
The happiest time for me: I was
fulfilling my dream of becoming Miss
Deaf Pennsylvania , something I
wanted more than anything. I have
another one, (becoming Miss Deaf
America) but won 't know until July.
What makes me unhappy about
being Miss Deaf America , is that
many deaf people believe I am showing off my speaking ability. I want my

a rocket model, which he later throws
across the room after hearing one of
his parent's many disputes. Ehler
gives strenth to his role as the disturbed, sensitive child.
In the background, an orange light
captures the silhouettes of Jeffs
mother, played by Lauren McLernan
and Jeff' s father, played by Tony
Dietterick. The use of lighting cleverly expands the set and shows the
concept of an entire house, instead of
just one room.
Standing face to face, Jeff's parents, Helen and Ben, exchange hostile words.
Throughout the play , McLernon
portrays Helen as a sobering character. At times her emotionless face becomes too predicatable. Dietterick,
however, developes his character and
demonstrates rage and sensitivity at
just the right moments.
Together, their portrayal of a broken marriage is believable. The
couple's bickering serves as an effective backround device, setting an

Mick charms all his acquaintances:
prostitutes, muggers, chauffeurs and

choose between Mick and her editorfiance (Mark Blum).
"'Crocodile ' Dund ee", the most
popular film in Australian history, is a
very entertaining comedy-romance.
Neither Hogan nor Kozlowski had
extensive experiences in movies before this hit. Actually, before
"'Crocodile ' Dundee ," Koslowski
was waitressing and looking for work
on the New York stages. Hogan's
experience was limited to Australian
Tourist Commission television commercials. But the inexperienced combination proved to be successful, and
so did the movie, both in Australia and

We live in the same human , natural,
social environment. There will not be
a time when the barrier between the
two is gone, still communication is of
primary importance.
Reba has a most positive belief in
die plausibility of the communication
between the deaf and the hearing.
That isoneoflhe reasons why she has
been touring all over the state and has
had lectures about her personal experiences and ideas.

Chaucer tales performs on stage

The charter season at Touchstone's
new theatre in Bethlehem opens on
Dec. 2 with the premiere of a folk
musical dramatization of Chaucer's
"Canterbury Tales." Touchstone,
Bethlehem 's professional theatre
company, has renovated the 1875
Protection Firehouse at 321 East
Fourth Str. as a 72-seat theatre.
"Canterbury Tales " runs for three
weeks, Wednesdays through Fridays
at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 5 p.m. and
8:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 on Wednesdays
and Thursdays and $12 on Fridays
and Saturdays. Reservations can be
made by calling 215-867-1689.
Touchstone's original version of
"Canterbury Tales" is written , conceived and directed by Susan Chase, a
former Touchstone Ensemble member.
The play dramatizes five of
Chaucer's tales. The first is "The Wife
of Bath. " a straightforward, medieval

tale of right, wrong and chivalry. The
second is "The Nun 's Priest 's Tale ,"
in which the characters on stage take
on the forms of animals, the strutting
macho rooster in a hen house full of
cackling hens.
Feeling that it would not be true to
Chaucer to choose only the sweet and
comic tales without the bawdy , Chase
has set herself the challenge of including the famous "Miller ' s Tale."
The last two tales, "Franklin ' s
Tale," a romantic tale ofthe testing of
honor, and "Parson ' s Tale ," featuring the seven deadly sins personified,
will be told in the least traditional
ways.
Using Touchstone's expertise in
movement theatre, some magical theatrical effects will be created .
The Touchstone Ensemble - Bill
George, Jennie Gilrain, Mark McKenna and Sara Zielinska - will be
augmented with actors and musicians
for this Droduction including Bob

Fahnnger who plays Chaucer; Carole
Silvoy, The Wife of Bath; Steve
Hatzai , The Parson; Richard Sauter,
The Squire; and Cynthia Charles, The
Beggar Woman.
The music is composed by well
known folk singer Dave Fry and by
members of the cast. The costume
designer is Annie Laurie Wheat and
the scenic designer is Tyrohne Kontir.
"Canterbury Tales " is the first of
six shows that make up the season at
Touchstone Theatre running December through June.
The other shows include two new
works by the Touchstone Ensemble
and three works by nationally acclaimed visiting artists.
Ticket stubs from "Canterbury
Tales " can be applied toward the cost
of a full season subscription.
For information about the subscription season, single tickets or group
sales contact Shirley Thomas at
Touchstone 215-867-1689.

"The motivation behind it is once

Adrian commented.
Each Coach sets guidelines and

Rickctis commented , "The study
sessions arc conducted all year long,
but they arc most important out of

"Out of season study hall is just as

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Boy, do I have .headache.
It's from figuring out all the possible combinations that have lo
happen in order for Penn State to
win the National Championshi p.
If all the top 20 team s come down
with the flu...
Oh , it would probably never work
anyway. But that is not die onl y
reason my head is ring ing. I' ve
spent the entire weekend arguing
over exactly who will win the national champ ionshi p this year.
I still think that if Miami loses to
Notre Dame (which they will), and
then beats Oklahoma in the Orange
Bowl (which is possible), they will
win the national championship, no
matter what Syracuse docs to Auburn , Alabama or LSU in the Sugar
Bowl.
Don't get me wrong, I will be
pulling for the Orangemen on New
Year's Day, as well as Notre Dame
this Satu rday. It's just that win , lose
or draw, Syracuse most likel y will
not be national champions.
First of all , if I pick them , diey arc
sure to lose (for reference , refer to
1987 NCAA Basketball Tournament where I also p icked
Syracuse).
Secondl y, tiicy way the writers in
this nation vote, Miami's last victory will outweigh Syracuse 's 12.
This is the point of the story where
all the bleeding hearts say, "What
we need is a good playoff system."
Wait, let's not overreact.
"But Mike, we need a definite way
of knowing who is national chain-

Why?
Despite the fact that the majority
of opinion is in favorof such a plan ,
I feel strongly against such a proposal.
There are a number of reasons for
opposing such a system of games ,
most importantly the fact that these
teams we arc dealing with arc student-athletes and not professionals.
They are out of the classrooms
enough for die bowl games let
alone a long series of games.
But that is not why I'm against a
playoff string of games. I'm just
afraid that playoffs would destroy
what college football is all about.
Lost today in the scramble to
make a profit off of everything
these teams do, is the tradition of
college football , a major part of
which include bowl games.
From the Orange to the Sugar to
'the grandaddy of them all ,' the
Rose Bowl, each game has its own
history, its own story to tell , both ol
victory and defeat , comeback and
crumbling, not just winning and
losing.
Proponents offer such a playoff
system that utilizes the bowl games
as a part of his plan.
But any playoff plan would strip
the bowls of their individual characteristics thus creating one long
series of games that no one would
watch any way , at least not until the
final game.
It seems to me that the fans have
forgotten just how important a
bowl victory is to a team. What
better way to finish off a season ,
especially a disappointing one,
then with a win?
These kinds of season-ending
victories are important to recruiting
as well as underclassmen morale
for the next season.
Creating a playoff system would
mean that all but one team would
end their season, no matter how
good it was, with a loss.
Proponents favor the playoffs
because it will eliminate the guesswork from crowning a national
champion. Housewives will love it
because it will leave but a single
game on Jan. 1 for them to cook
around.
Still, I think it's fun to try and
figureout a way for Florida State to
win it all, so let 's keep things the
way they are.
Besides, it's great for starting
housemate arguments.

NBA coaches a breed apart
By Peter May
The Hartford Courant
Another workout was over, and
World B. Free had lost some petty
cash. All Houston Rockets arc fined
10 cents for each free throw they miss
in practice , and Free was not happy
with his involuntary contribution to...
what?
Coach Bill Fitch would have his
players believe the money pays for his
golf balls. Thai 's what he told Free,
although it is not case. But Free didn 't
doubt his coach , and that was all part
of Fitch' s plan.
"You never want them to know
what you 're diinking or where you 're
coming from ,"Fitch said. "You spend

a lot of your time trying to know much
naorc about them than they'd like. If
they 're always wondering what
you 're up to, so much the better."
Keeping players off balance, contriving ways to make them do what
they don 't want to do, goading them,
cajoling them , coddling them , playing
father , friend and disciplinarian.
Dealing with fickle fans and an increasingly demanding media. Trusting others, such as scouts and the
general manager, to provide you with
talent and the owner to treat you and
them fairly. It 's all part of that most
visible and , at times, volatile occupation known as coaching.

College Bowl games set to begin Dec. 12

Thanksgiving is only a few days
away and this weekend will mark
the end of the regular college football season.
This means that the final pairings for the post season bowls are

If Miami can get past Notre

Bowl will not only be a 1-2 showdown but a matchup of unbeaten
and untied teams.
Syracuse finished the season 110, but will probably not even get a
shot at the national championship..

ball Association. It is unequal parts
frustration, exhilaration , boredom ,
excitement, security, paranoia, public
relations and detachment. There is the
constant travel, the inevitable strains
on the family, the never-ending uncertainty about your status, the fragile
relationships with the players below
you and the general manager and
owner above you.
But there is a considerable upside
as well. There are the obvious perks
attendant with any such high-profile
job: Books. Endorsements. Clinics.
Summer camps. Motivational talks. It
all adds up to easy money, and that's
above and beyond the six-figure salaries most of them command.
"I wake up every morning and say,
'Holy cow,' "Utah Coach Frank
Layden said. "I drive a Mercedes. I
belong to a country club. I make tremendous salary. I get perdiem. I go
first class. I have my son coaching
widi me. People give me ihings like
trips to Europe. How can I complain
about that? If it wasn't for the games,
at'd be a great life."
In short, none of the incumbent
NBA coaches complains too strenuously about the lifestyle or demands
of the job. Doug Moe of the Denver
Nuggets once reflected during the
heated, seven-game 1979 Eastern
Conference finals with Washington
that "my biggest concern right now is
that my country club won't allow
sixsomes on Thursdays."
Most seem to agree with Dallas'
John MacLeod. "Nobody put a gun to
my head," he says. "I'm doing this
because I want to. I enjoy this."
There is no accepted method, no
foolproof modus operandi to coach
successfully in any league, let alone
the NBA. There is no single accredited school of thought or guaranteed
route to the top. Eleven of the current
NBA coaches were college coaches;
14 were professional assistants. Thirteen played in either the NBA or ABA
and one, Jack Ramsay, was a general
manager before beginning an NBA
coaching career that is now in its 20th
season.
As a coach, there areall sorts of permutations and complications ranging
from finding a practice site on the road
to getting the proper videotape of the
upcoming opponent. The combination of the grueling workload every
day for nine months and the travel can
strain the sturdiest of relationships.
'The coach is married to his job,
and it takes a real good woman and
real effort to make it work," said
Fitch, who says the dizzy lifestyle was
in part responsible for his divorce.
When the requirements of the job
are as many and varied as they are in
coaching, no wonder Fitch said, "If
there's ever a World War III, this
country could do a lot worse than use
the NBA coaches as their leaders."
From the start, there is the obvious
philosophical dilemma. How many
times has a new coach taken over and
said, "We're gonna run" or, "We're
gonna play better defense" or, "I
wouldn't have taken thisjob if I didn't
think we could win right away?"
