Local fraternity loses
charter after state raid

Beta Sigma Delta Fraternity at
Bloomsburg University has lost its
charter as a result of violations of
university policies in connection with
a Slate Liquor Control Enforcement
raid on a party and student behavior
following the raid in November.
Thc fraternity president , Patrick
Barry, was notified in a Dec. 14 letter
from Dean Norton that "because of
flagrant nature of violating sections
#1 and #2, die number of students
arrested and the adverse effect upon
the university," thc fraternity 's charter will bc suspended indefinitel y, not
to bc considered for reinstatement
before 1989. Thc sanction began
upon Barry 's receipt of thc letter , but
thc fraternity had been put on suspension pending a formal hearing immediately following lhc raid and demonstration Nov. 19 and Nov. 20.
During the hearing conducted Dec.
4, die fraternity was presented with
the charges against it. Following review ofa written brief from the fraternity and discussions with police and
students who had attended the party,
Norton said he concluded dial the
fraternity was guilty of violating the
following sections of the university 's
code of conduct:
-The university does not permit the
consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages by underage indi-

]

viduals , nor the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages by or to any individual.
-Violations of local, state or f ederal
laws on university property or off
campus when such violations of the
law adversely affect the mission of
the university .
-Indecent, obscene or disorderly
conducl or obscene expression in
public , on university property or at
university-sponsored or supervised
activities .
Suspension of the fraternity 's charter means that the group may no
longer conduct activities in the name
of Beta Sigma Delta, it may no longer
conducl rushing or pledging or participate in activities with other fraternities or sororities, it may not be represented on thelntcr-Fralemity council , conduct social functions , fundraising activities, use university facilities or participate in campus intram ural program s as a fraternity.
Norion 's letter to Barry said: "The
members of your group face the challenge of self-evaluation that will enable them to focus on changes that
will reflect a positive attitude toward
being a fraternity at Bloomsburg
University."
The fraternity has until Jan. 8,
1988, to appeal the decision, the letter
said.

The firing, effective Fridav, comes
after an eight-month investigation
into charges Levinc falsified research
and told two students to do die same.
The students admitted faking thc research to another psychology professor, Michael Gaynor, who asked college officials last May to investigate.
A special BU investigating committee in August found Lcvine guilty
of two charges and recommended he
be harshl y disciplined , according to
the group's report. The committee
was not a legal entity but a scholarly
investigating group.
"This is not simply an error in judgment," the committee wrote in its
report. "It should be made clear to Dr.
Levine that this conduct reflects a
serious minsundcrslanding of the
ethics of his profession.
"A mere reprimand would be insufficient."
Levine,who was to be paid $40,276
for the September through May academic year, may contest the firing by
filing a grievance under the terms of
his Association of Pennsylvania State
College and Universily Faculties
(APSCUF) union contract.
If he does contest the firing, he will
be paid and receive all benefits for 90
days, or until April 14, according to
the contract. After that, he would
continue to receive life insurance and
medical benefits until the grievance
would be resolved.
Levine could not be reached for
comment yesterday about whether he
plans to contest the firing.
Union President Brian Johnson

said lie Tiasn t officially been informed of die firing, and didn 't know
whether Lcvinc would file a griev ance.
Johnson said University President
Harry Ausprich told him yesterday hc
had made a decision and has sent a
letter to Lcvine . Ausprich told
Johnson hc would give a copy of the
letter to thc union as soon as he was
assured Lcvinc had received his copy,
Johnson said.
Ausprich did not return repeated
telephone calls to his office and home
on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Bryson said any comments about
thc matter would come from her, but
then refused to comment. She said
personnel matters arc private .
The investig ating committee
probed two incidents of alleged professional improprieties brought by
Gaynor, ils report said.
According to thc report, Levine and
two students were researching bonding between humans and animals last
spring when Lcvine was contacted by
the Delta Society, a national organization for researchers interested in
interaction between people and pets.
Thc Delta Society was seeking
presentations for a conference, but
needed outlines that included actual
research results. Because tlie research
was nol finished , Lcvine and lhc students fabricated results to prepare thc
outlines , the report said.
"Both
students
submitted
abstracts...Both abstracts contained
statistics that were in fact fabricated
and not based on thc actual data collected," according to the report. "The
students were instructed lo do this by
Levine."
The Delta Society accepted the
abstracts, but the students admitted
before the conference die research
was faked , according to the report.
They did not attend thc conference.
Levine and the two students said
thc research would have been analyzed in time for thc conference and
would have been presented as corrections to the first , fabricated results, the
report said.
"This would constitute further
misrepresentation of tlie facts," the
committee said.
The committee said Levinc should
withdraw the abstracts and tell the
Delta Society hc had fabricated results. He did withdraw the abstracts,
but Delta Society officials said he did
not tell them ofthe fabrication.

University spokesman Bryson
would not commen t on whether the
university will inform Delta of die
fabricailon.
"I can 't discuss lhat," Bryson said.
In a second incident , one of the
students presented fabricated statistics "at a behest of Dr. Irvine" to a
psychology conference at Glassboro
Slate College in New Jersey, according to thc report.
Thc committee said Lcvine should
disavow thc paper and admit it was
falsified. Bryson said she couldn 't
comment on whether thc university
will contact Glassboro officials.
The investigating committee concluded:
- Lcvine was guilty of scientific
misconduct , defined by the National
Science Foundation as "fabrication ,
falsification , plagiarism , or other serious deviation from accepted practices
in proposing, carrying out or reporting results from research."

court of condoning "thought control ,"
adding that, "Such unthinking contempt for individual rights is intolerable."
The 1983 controversy arose when
Robert Reynolds, Hazelwood East
High School principal , deleted two
articles from the Spectrum , a schoolsponsored newspaper produced by
students in a journalism class.
Reynolds objected to the article
topics, which dealt with teenagepregnancy and thc effect of divorce on
children .
Although Reynolds was authorized
by school policy to review the paper,
Cathy
journalism
students
Kuhlmeier, Lee Ann Tippett-West
and Leslie Smart sued him as well as
other school officials for violating
their First Amendment rights.
After a federal court ruled against

the students, the Sth U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled that the Spectrum is a "public forum" because it
expresses student viewpoints.
But the Supreme Court ruled that
the Spectrum is not a public forum.
The court claimed that supervised
school newspapers provide educational experience for journalism students, and are not to be used indiscriminately by them .
"Accordingly, school officials
were entiUed to regulate the contents
of Spectrum in any reasonable manner," White said.
He added, "A school must be able
to take into account the emotional maturity of the intended audience in
determining whether to disseminate
student speech on potentially sensitive topics...."
He also noted that effects of the

The committee used the
foundation 's procedure for investigating misconduct in science and
engineering as a guide for its investigation of Levine.
Thc committee said, "We find it
particularly disturbing that falsified
statistics were presented at a scientifi c conference. This act discredits
not only the psychology department

The committee's report cited the
American Association of University
Professors Statement of Professional
Ethics, "which states that thc professor must practice intellectual honesty,
make every reasonable effort to foster
honest academic conduct in his stu^
dents and hold before them the best
scholarly standards of his discipline."
By instructing students to falsify
results, the committee said Lcvine
"misled them as to how the scientific
community should operate. In the
long run , this lesson would have hurt
rather than helped those students."
The committee investigated only
the research done by die two students
and Bryson said she couldn 't discuss
whether further investigations would
be opened on other research Levine
has conducted.
One graduate, Susan Bohn , has said
a study she did for Levine in 1986 was
not done scientifically. She said Levine told her to cut corners to analyze
the material. Lcvine presented the
research at a Delta Society conference in Boston and won international
acclaim for the work.

Fraternity granted
status by committee
by Lisa Cellini
News Editor
As a result of a decision made by the Student Activities Committee
last semester, a chapter of Theta Chi has obtained permanent fraternity
status ,on campus.
Despite an Inter-Fraternity Council recommendation that Theta Chi
be denied university recognition , the chapter, consisting of twenty-four
Bloomsburg University men, is currently entitled to IFC representation
and is undergoing a mandatory probationary period.
"We're looking forward to working with IFC, and we hope that some
of the tensions that evolved last semester can be smoothed out this
semester through cooperation ," said Daniel Kornegay, Theta Chi IFC
representative.
He added that the chapter had been recognized by die international organization before it asked IFC to recommend its approval to the committee.
According to Theta Chi President Michael Morrissey, IFC had not
recommended the chapter to the committee because a lack of communication existed between the council and the fraternity.
Jeff Smith , IFC president, could not be contacted for comment.

Controversy arises after censorship ruling

In arecent Supreme Court decision,
school newspapers operated by students can be censored, according to an
article in The Morning Call of Allentown.
The court determined that a Missouri high school principal was authorized to delete two pages from the
student newspaper, and did not violate the students' free-speech rights.

"A school need not tolerate student
speech that is inconsistent with its
basic educational mission even
though the government could not
censor similar speech outside the
school," said Justice Byron R. White.
He added that the judicial decision
protects these publications when the
censorship has no valid educational
purpose.

- Lcvine was guilty of violating die
standards of professional conduct as a
university faculty member for involving students in the fraudulent work.

The Community Government
Association tabled a proposal for financial independence made by The
Voice for the second time Dec. 7. The
proposal was brought before the senate a total of three times during the
semester.
Former editor-in-chief Don
Chomiak told the senate The Voice
would remain a student organization
in the Kehr Union Building regardless of the CGA decision.
Several members of the executive
board voiced concerns about the editors of the newspaper receiving stipends.

CGA Parhmentarian Kns Rowe
said she believes that because editors
can receive stipends and internship
credits, as well as points towards a
service key, the points she receives
towards a service key should be
worth more.
Tim Kurtz said he did not realize
lhat The Voice editors receive payment.
Chomiak explained that the stipends are not payment. The money,
which is taken from advertising revenue, is given as an honorarium at the
end of semester only after all debts
have been paid. He said the amount is

According to Paul Masters, national freedom of information chairman of the Society of Professional

Commentary

Lee is standing by her man

by Ellen Goodman
Editorial Columnist
He wouldn 't bc where he is today
without her. Not in New Hampshire.
Nol in Iowa. Not in thc running at all.
I don 't say this as a political nicety,
thc words lhat any candidate would
employ as hc ti pped his hat to a loyal
wife. In thc case of Gary Hart , it is the
absolute truth .
Maybe this lime he can do without
lhc media consultants and campaign
strategists and pollsters. But there is
no way he can do without Lec.
So she can be seen these wintry
days , standing by her man , in photograp hs and ncwsfilm , in thc coffee
shops and drugstores and high school
auditoriums. They arc inseparable.
Hc even introduces her to the toll Uiker
at a turnpike booth.
Lec Hart has become her husband's
talisman. She is a portable shield
agf.inst Thc Question. A living rcbulm! to lliosc who would attack him for
wife misuse.
Who would be so rude as to badger
him with questions about Donna in
front of Lee? If someone in an audience or on late-night television criticizes his behavior as a husband , Hart
has his defense close by. "Snc's actively campaigning for mc," hc can
and has said , "...so I don 't think this
caller has thc riglu to interpose himself in my wife 's defense." If his wife
doesn 't fec i abused , surely wc should
feci it for her.
Today Lec Hart holds die key to his
comeback. And more dian lhat. She
holds (he key to her own comeback as
well.

Last May, when photographs of
Gary and Donna Rice seemed a permanent fixture in the papers, when
everyone in America was speculating
on thc impact of "womanizing " in
politics , the candidate's wife looked
as if she were held together with
chewing gum. She was thc national
image of a wronged wife.
Their marriage became public
property. Many made bets on how
much longer they would last. Three
months? Twelve? People who had
never met Lee Hart asked each odicr
why Gary didn 't just get divorced.
People who knew nothing of their
relationsh ip asked each other why Lec
didn 't just ditch die guy.
When Lec Hart looks back to those
days in May she says, "Il was hell ,"
and nobody doubts it. But she chose to
join her husband in portraying dial
hell as a media creation.
After 28 years of marriage and two
separations , she said , "I know Gary
belter than anyone else and when
Gary says nothing happened , nothing
happened." She was not a wronged
woman. They were a wronged famil y.
When , in turn , Hart wanted to reenter die race, thc decision hinged on
Lec. As hc put it coolly, " It got down
lo how much abuse she was willing to
take." Not from him , mind you , from
thc press.
Why did she do il? Why docs she do
it?
Why docs she shake hands every
day with people who arc often uncomfortable in her presence, people who
shared her public humiliation , who
see mental images of Donna Rice on
her husband' s lap when she comes

into a New Hampshire Hall? What
makes Lec run?
I don'l think it is masochism or
unblinking ambition for the White
House. If Gary Hart believes that he
can overcome the image of philanderer and retrieve his dignity, I suspect that Lec Hart believes she can
save her sclf-rcspcct and her marriage. She can campai gn as a partner,
not a victim.
Her public image may have becn as
hard to live with as his. After all , we
once applauded spouses for stoicism ,
for keeping a marriage together no
matter what. Now we arc as likely to
wonder why someone "lakes it."
Divorce was once a political kiss of
death and indiscretions overlooked.
Now wc condem infidelity and accept
divorce.
Clearl y this is not a Golden Era for
wronged wives. We arc less admiring
of long suffering. We tend to believe
that suffering and sufferers are foolish. We aren 't comfortable with wives
as victims.
But the woman Lec Hart tries to
offer New Hampshire and Iowa , perhaps even herself , is not thc wife left
home while her husband went cruising. She is , rather , die unflagg ing
campaigner. Thc crucial member of
Uie Hart team.
I don 't know whether the voters
will buy a new Hart brigade ora resurrected marriage. But for now, thc
candidate , a true loner, defiantly selfreliant and at times blindly sclf-ccntcrcd , has taken on a real partner.
This Gary Hart needs his wife. It
must bc, after all this, a good feeling
for Lec.

All That lot

The trouble with roommates

by John Roberts
Editorial Columnist
One of the first things I remember
about coming to college is gathering
in liuie orientation groups. On my
chest I have a "Hi, my name is Bob"
pin. Under my arm I have my deceased Uncle Elbert 's luggage which
hc left me in his will.
Standing in front of me is a 200
pound coed.She 'sasenior andprobably looked just as good as those 110
pound coeds, but that was before she
discovered die 'B' word. Beer.
It started as the freshman fifteen
and worked its way up to the senior
seventy. Her job is to get me moved in
to my room quickly and quietly. I
obey, knowing that if I don 't, she'll
eat me.
The last thing I heard her say is,
"Remember, college is an experience
in learning how to live with other
people."
When I got to my room I found ,
much to my dismay, a male version of
the orientation coed. "God, they must
be related ," I thought. No, no one
could give birth to two of those within
one four year period.
The papers would have had something on it. Maybe not a picture, it is
my understanding that wide-angle
lenses have their limit, but there
should have been at least something
about it.
I could see that half or more of the
room was already full. "Oh, you 're
already moved in, I see."He looked at
me a bit strangely and said, "I haven 't
moved anything in yet." Apparently
what I thought I was seeing, a half-

filled room , was in fact halffilled...half-filled with roommate.
"Oh," was all I could muster. I
would have to wait until he squeezed
out for supper before I could move in.
As I watched the last of him round the
comer, the only thing I could think
was, "I'm living with Jaba die Hut."
Later that ni ght I got a chance to
start to get to know him better. We
were watching his favorite show,
"Doctor Who". You know , that show
where they take old trash cans, paint
things on them, maybe tape a few
sparklers to it, then pretend it'sakiller
robot from planet Z. It is a pretty
intellectual show; I wouldn 't expect
you to know that much about it.
Anyway, we got to talking. At least
I think we were talking. It s pretty
hard to say with Frank. Frank is his
name.
You see, Frank had his bed set up so
he could lay a bag of Frito's on his
stomach, hang his hand off the side of
the bed where his soda was, and rest
his foot comfortably on the TV channel changer.
The reason I can 't tell if we were
talking is that, despite his slothfulness, he was able to keep a steady,
continuous motion: chip, soda, soda ,
change , chip, chip, soda, soda ,
change , chip, chip, soda. Sometimes
he would throw a scratch in there:
Chip, chip, soda, chip, scratch, chip,
change. In between all that I think we
might have had a conversation of
sorts.
I didn 't press it though because I
realized I might screw up his rhythm.
Chip, soda, scratch, chip, change .

talk might be too much for him and he
might sprain something. I'm a conscientious guy by nature. It is one of my
more redeeming, if somewhat less
well known , qualities. Besides, I
wasn 't willing to risk having to take
Frank to the hospital. Have you ever
tried to get a dumptruck at 5 o'clock
on a Friday?
Wc managed to get along pretty
well. I learned never to interrupt him
while he was watching talking trash
and he learned not to ask me why I got
so nervous when he ate chili. It was a
pretty harmonious relationship.
Hc did have a habit of snoring
diough. No, he didn 't wake me with it.
I came to the conclusion that he
snored through simple deduction.
Frank's nose was the thing that could
have sucked up those missing curtains.
I wasn 't positive about the snoring
though until one mnorning I discovered our pet parrot had been stripped
clean of its feathers and Frank woke
complaining ofa "ticklish feeling" in
his throat and a "sudden craving for
crackers."
As you can tell, I can sleep through
most anything. This is probably good.
The sight of that poor parrot being
sucked up against the side of its cage,
squawking over and over and over
again the only thing it knew how to
say: chip, chip, soda, change, scratch,
chip, while its plumage was being
sucked off , would have broken my
heart.
Oh yeah, Frank had a girlfriend. But
alas, that's abig story. Maybe another
time.

Student
tells of
alcohol
hazards

To the editor
I am a senior nursing student currently attending Bloomsburg University , and I have recently finished an
elective course on Alcohol in the
American Society. I cannot fully
impress upon die student body just
how destructive alcohol really is to a
person , physically, emotional ly, socially, spiritually and economically.
Alcohol is a drug! It is a drug that is
widely abused by Americans. One out
of three Americans are affected by
alcohol , and one out of 10 adults are
alcoholics. To top it all off , alcohol is
also the third leading cause of death.
These statistics have been taken from
James E . Roycc 's "Alcohol
Problems " and "Alcoholism: A
Comprehensive Survey."
Alcohol works on the body immediately after consumption. It is not
like food , it docs not need to be digested. It goes directly from a persons
stomach into the intestines, and then
goes directly into the blood where it is
carricd to the brain.
In small amounts, alcohol acts on
the brain as a stimulant. This gives the
person a sense of relief and wellbeing. In large amounts, alcohol acts
on thc brain as a depressant. It depresses certain parts of the brain lhat
control motor abilities like walking
and talking. Therefore , a person who
is intoxicated has a wobbly walk and
slurred speech.
After thc alcohol circulates through
the brain , it is taken to the liver where
it is metabolized into carbon dioxide
and water. Each half ounce of alcohol
takes about an hour for the body to
dispose of it. Other effects of alcohol
are also seen on thc body. A person's
sense of taste and smell are dulled.
Sensitivity to pain is diminished.
Your eyes require more time to adjust
to brightness. Over a long period of
time, alcohol can cause heart disease,
pancreatitis, cirrohosis of the liver,
ulcers, cancers and malnutrition.
Alcohol is also very dangerous
when used in combination with drugs.
Alcohol does not mix with barbituatcs, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants,
sleeping pills, narcotics, antihistamines, motion sickness pills, or many
other medicines. These medicines are
also classified as depressants , and
they act on the same section of the
brain that alcohol effects.
Combining two depressants causes
an overload on the brain and can be
extremely dangerous. If you are taking medicine of any kind, you should
always ask your doctor if it is okay to
have a drink.
Alcohol is a big issue at colleges
because college students abuse alcohol tremendously. I think more programs should be offered to make students aware of alcohol and it affects.
As long as there are colleges, I know
there will be parties and drinking. The
issue here is not to abolish alcohol and
drinking from the colleges, but to
teach students to become responsible
drinkers.
Sincerely
Alicia L. Brown

Defe nding free speech
To die editor
I laud Najma Adam for having the
courage to state a perspective on racial interaction lhat is not widely professed in this area.
In my opinion the intention of Ms.
Adam in the columns which she
writes is to raise the conscience of
people in this area to the kinds of
experiences to which minority group
members are subjected when they are
living here. It is unfortunate that some
individuals took her opinion , which is
a pervasive phenomenon of a lack of
sensitivity to the feelings and rights of
minority group members, personally.
Ms. Adam is raising an issue that
needs to bc addressed in every possible forum in the Bloomsburg area
until chanee occurs in the ways in

which the average resident relates to
People of Color. All too frequently,
those of us who agree with her shy
away from stating our opinions publicly because of the fear of possible
ridicule or negative reactions that may
occur.
I hope that Najma Adam and others
who hold perspectives which are not
widely shared in their communities
will continue to speak out on issues
such as race relations. If not, we will
all lose out on the opportunity to get to
know, respect and share the visions of
people who are different than ourselves for a better world.

to two weeks of skiing on 2,500
acres of terrain on two mountains.

LaBroad , product manager for Busch
beer. "Although there will be plenty
of opportunities to kick back and relax , skiing will be the focal point of
this spring break."

Touchstone 's season at its new
theaire at 321 , East4lh St. Bethlehem ,
continues January 20-30 wilh "Mothers & Others " created and performed
by Thc Underground Railway Theatre from Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Performances arc Wednesday thru
Friday at8 p.m. and Saturday at 5p.m.
and 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 on
Wednesday and Thursday and $12 on
Friday and Saturday with a one dollar
discount off all tickets for students
and senior citizens. Reservations can
bc made by calling 215-867- 1689.
"Mothers & Olhers" is a onewoman cabaret combining comedy,
song, docudrama and poetry into a
theatrical collage about motherhood ,
sexuality and choice. The cabaret is
performed by Dcbra Wise with musician Jeff Warschaucr , and includes
selections from the lives and work of
Kn'.e Milieu, Billie Holliday, Bessie
Smiti: Jane Lazarre, Bcrtolt Brecht
and Ann Sexton.
Debra Wise compiled the piece
y^ vL B/TJ^S^.

which she says was "originally inspired by Adrienne Rich' s book , "Of
Woman Born ." She writes eloquentl y and honestly about contradictions between motherhood as an
institution (idealized roles and expectations) and as experience (complex, moving, frustrating and deeply
human.) Basic to each woman 's
understanding of motherhood is her
sense of her right and ability to
choose to be, as Rich puts it, '"the
presiding genius over her own
body.'" Wise adds , "I wanted to
make an informal and entertaining
piece lhat would invite the audience
to contemplate lhc choices made by
women different than themselves.
For instance, the cabaret includes
vignettes about a call girl , a young
mother , and a woman testifying
about an illegal abortion. But we also
include a little audience participation
to vitc people in an anonymous and
enjoyable way to relate these
women's choices to their own."

c,i P and SQve

Debra Wise is a co-director and
founding member of the Underground Railway Theatre. Of her play
"Mothers and Others " Jon Lipsky
wrote in the Boston Review "Funny,
lyrical, and biting... what holds it all
together is the powerful presence of
Debra Wise, who is equally at home
playing a suicidal woman, a dinosaur
or Pirate Jenny. With a quality singing
voice, great comic timing and a talent
for transformational character acting,
Debra takes the audience through the
cabaret's changes to touch their
lives."
On the final Saturday of "Mothers
& Others " , Jan. 30, Debra Wise will
give the second lecture/workshop in
Touchstone's "Hands on with the
Director" series. The session will run
from 10 a.m. to noon in the second
floor rehearsal studio at Touchstone
Theatre. The cost of ihe session is $8
($6 for subscribers), and enrollment is
limited to 30 participants. For moreinformation call 215-867-1689.

Sanders appointed to national governing body

Former athletic director named to
USA Wrestling Board of Directors

Bloomsburg wrestling has had some good things happen as oflatc off tho mat. Head coach Roger Sanders will be added to the
Phoio by Jim U«;ii
USA Wrestling Board of Directors and AIM will be donating scholarshi ps to the program.

By Mike Feeley
for the Press-Enterprise
Bloomsburg University wrestling
coach Roger Sanders wants to make
sure thc sport 's competition continues to improve. He'll strive to
achieve his goal as a member of tlie
USA Wrestling Board of Directors, a
decision-making body that govern s
amateur wrestling in the Un i ted
States, and works with similar organizations from around the world.
The appointment comes less than
one year after Sanders was elected
president of the National Wrestling
Coaches Association.
"I think what thc USA Wrestling
Board of Directors is trying to do is
keep thc National Wrestling Association in tunc with what they are doing,"
Sanders said of his appointment.

AIM donates scholarships to BU

Associated Insurance Management
of Danville and Catawissa has made a
tuition scholarship donation to llie
Bloomsburg University wrestling
team in an effort to start a program
that will eventuall y give thc Huskies
the NCAA limit of 11 full scholarships in the sport.
The contribution is the firs t in what
head coach Roger Sanders hopes will
allow thc Huskies to have a scholarship to offer at each weight class.
"Our goal is to match thc contribu-

tions from these outside sources in an
effort to provide scholarships to incoming students at all weight classes
in the future ," said Sanders. "The
people at Associated Insurance Management have been among our leading supporters for some time, and
they wanted lo be the leaders of this
new , exciting program."
Sanders has begun a campaign in
which he hopes other businesses and
individuals will match AIM' s contribution , and in turn he will use sum-

mer camps, projects and other fundraising vehicles to supplemen t the
tuition scholarship to cover thc total
cost of the individual student-athletes' education.
Robert Bancy, production and marketing manager, and Robert Wingatc ,
Jr., commercial insurance coordinator
with AIM , both long time supporters
of the University 's athletic program ,
were approached by Sanders wilh the
idea of sponsoring a weighi class. Thc
duo , both former wrestlers and mem-

March6to April23, 1988*

bers of the university 's Husky Club,
saw thc proposal as a way to become
more involved .
"Wc felt it was a very worthwhile
program and another way for us to
support the academic and athletic
pursuits of the student-athletes at
Bloomsburg University,"said Baney,
who altcndcd the university . "Rob
and I both enjoy our involvement with
the university, and this is a great way
for us to continue our support."
AIM has been a contributor to the
university 's athletic program for the
past 10 years wilh Baney joining the
Husky Club in 1975 and Wingate, a
graduate of Columbia University ,
joining the organization in 1982. The
firm has becn involved in various
athletic department functions in the
past , including the highly successful
auction held for the first time this fall.
In addition , AIM sponsors the wrestling schedule cards that are distributed throughout tlie region.

Iwas approached for the position ,
and I thought it would be great for mc.
It will bc a good experience to keep
mc in tunc with what is going on in the
sport."
The board is responsible for developing thc country 's national and international wrestling programs from
the elementary school levels to the
Olympic stage and has a direct impact
on all styles in the sport.
As part of this , Sanders said he will
travel with two wrestling teams from
the United States which will compete
in Europe. Although he does not yet
know the specifics of this trip yet,
Sanders said it would take place
sometime in 1989.
This will give me achance to study
European sty les of wrestling, as
compared to the styles in the United
Stales. I will be able to look at all
levels from elementary to college and
club," Sanders said.
Sanders said he would like to write
a paper on his findings in Europe. He
said the paper would discuss training,
techniques and philosophies.
USA Wrestling works together
with the NCAA and other athletic
governing bodies . Sanders said there
are athelctes on the board , as well as
representatives from the elementary,
high school and college level. He said
there are also members from forei gn
countries.
"This will be a chance for me to
give back to wrestling some of what it
has given to mc," hc said. "I am extremely honored to be chosen to this
position. I' m excited to have the
opportunity to have a voice in the
further enhancement of wrestling at
all levels,."
The board is in charge of maintaining a broad-based program which
develops a solid international philosophy for Olympic competition.

However, the organization is not
strictly olympic-oriented but an organization which is looking to develop the sport and gain recognition
and corporate sponsorship throughout the country.
Sanders said the board meets twice
a year, and he will attend his first
meeting in April lo be held in Colorado Springs, Colo. Sanders said he
was appointed to a four-year term.
"During the first meeting I will be
able to find out how the board
operates. I probably won't get too
involved then. What will happen is
that I will be put on some committees," Sanders said. "After that,
however, I hope to get involved a lot
at thc meetings."
Sanders will join approximately 30
other members on the board of directors, including former Olympic champion Dan Gable, the head coach at
Iowa, and national champions Dave
Schultz of the University of Oklahoma and Bill Scheer of the University of Nebraska.
Under Sanders
direction ,
Bloomsburg has established its program as one of the top in NCAA
Division I and the Eastern Wrestling
League. The Huskies finished fifth in
last season's NCAA championships
and have posted an impressive 17772-3 record with Sanders at the helm.
The native of Fairless Hills is in his
21st season of collegiate coaching
after spending five seasons at New
York University, registering a 50-181 mark.
He has coached national champions in Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock and
more recently three-time champ
Ricky Bonomo. Fifteen of his wrestlers have reached Ail-American
status, 21 won EWL individual championships and 33 captured Pennsylvania Conference titles.

When you break awaythis year,

Your College Week in Bermuda is more than just
sun , sand and surf.
Rig ht from the first outrageous "College Bash"
at Elbow Beach , it 's a week of unrelenting pleasure.
Spectacular seaside buffet luncheons. A calypso
and limbo festival like none other. Smashing dancetil-you-drop beach parties, featuring Bermuda 's top
rock, steel and calypso bands. Even a "Party Cruise!'
All compliments of the Bermuda Department
of Tourism.
Bermuda is all of tiiis—and much , much more.
It 's tour i ng t h e i sl and on our breezy mop eds.

(Do remember to keep left!)
It 's jogging on quiet country roads—including
an early morning 2-k "Fun Run " from Horseshoe
Bay. It 's exploring the treasures in our international
shops, playing golf on eight great courses, and
tennis on over 100 Island-wide courts,
But most of all , it 's the feeling you get on a tiny,
flower-bedecked island , separated from everywhere
and everything by 600 miles of sea.
This year, break away with style. See your Campus Travel Representative or Travel Agent for details.

And then there was one.
They weren 't pretty about it, there
weren't sports about it, they just went
out and did it.
The Miami Hurricanes went to the
Orange Bowl and walked out winners. Jimmy Johnson won his national
champ ionship and his team coughed
up some of the crow they ate last
January 2 in Tempe.
Those are the facts. Now for some
thoughts.
. Is Jimmy Johnson that good a
coach? I for one don 't think so. He
choked against Penn State last year
when he didn 't call his last timeout
before Testeverde through the last
pass of his collegiate career, and
nearly did again as Oklahoma took
over possession with a chance to win
the game.
He ran frantically on the sidelines
looking for someone to turn to. Luckily his defense shut down the wishbone offense of the Sooners as it had
all game and preserved the win.
Two thumbs up for the 'fumbleruski' call by Barry Switzer. Now
he's a coach. He used the same play
that Nebraska used against Miami in
the 1984 Orange Bowl to try to come
back. It worked for both teams.
Both teams still lost.
Although some will tend to argue
lhe point, I see the emergence of a
'Big Three* in college football, Oklahoma , Miami and Penn State.
Look at the national champions in
the last six. years: Penn State, Miami,
BYWho?, Oklahoma, Penn State and
Miami. For further proof, look at the
last three 'championship' matchups
of 1-2 teams: Oklahoma vs Penn
State, Penn State vs Miami and most
recently Miami vs Oklahoma.

Even more convincing is the fact
lhat over the past three years, Oklahoma has but three losses, all at the
hands of the Hurricanes.
And before this rebuilding year for
PSU, they had lost only one game in
two years, to, you guessed it, Oklahoma.
If the pattern is to hold up, look for
Oklahoma to win the next crown , but
maybe not next year. Even B YU was
able to slip in among the giants for a
brief spot of sunlight, so look for a
different face to catch some rays next
year, possibly Clemson?
Then the wishbone will begin to
roll over its conference rivals for
another bid to the Orange Bowl
and...who knows?
Like I said a year ago, "Hello Joe?
Two season tickets for 1990, please."

It sure is nice to see that the coaches
do not want any part of a Division I
playoff system for football. The vote
was overwhelmingly against such a
plan, despite the possibility of tremendous television revenues from
such a game.
Some of the problems cited were
those mentioned earlier in this column that included among others:
How to determine who will play in
such a game, risk of keeping athletes
out of classrooms longer than neccasary, destroying the reputation of
various bowl games and the creating
of added pressure on players and
coaches.
Although this may appear as a victory for such football purists as myself, some comments heard in passing
are very disturbing. The general feeling of the meeting is that eventually
there will be a playoff system in one

form or another within the next five
years.
Whether it is a one game playoff
afier the bowls are completed or a
series of playoffs using the bowls as
stepping stones, noone can say, but it
seems that although the proposal was
rejected and tv e committee instructed
not to continue work on the proposal,
that something is definitely afoot
Maybe instead of tinkering with the
Bowls they should examine the affect
of there decision to allow freshmen to
play varsity sports. If the freshmen
ineligibility rule hadn't been done
away with , maybe we wouldn't have
needed Proposition 48.

Can you believe Jimmy 'The
Greek" Snyder?
You think that profesional sports
would have learned their lesson after
the Campanis affair . But good old
Greek, who can always be counted on
to put his foot in his mouth, wolfed
down half of his leg.
Due to his rather slighted comments he has lost his position at CBS.
I don't really feel any pity for the man.
When you posess a public forum such
as television, radio or newspaper, you
do have a first ammendment right to
free speech, but this speech must be
responsible, not ridiculous.
CBS had no choice but to let the
Greek go.

*****
One final note I'd like to pass on
before I finish. 1987 has been referred
to as "The Year of the Fan." Let's just
hope the 1988 shows a little improvement over the last one in terms of
strikes and team sellouts. I doubt it.
