BU raises
capital

Bloomsburg University and the BU
Foundation raised a total of $777,879
for the 1987 calendar year, according
to Anthony Ianicro, director of development.
"Funds of over three-quarter million dollars reflect the hard work of a
number of people throughout the
year," Ianicro said. "The volunteers
are to be congratulated for their efforts, and we are very appreciative of
all those who responded to their appeals."
BU President Harry Ausprich
noted the 1987 amount of funds
raised increased $50,000 over the
previous year's total. "It's a tremendous help in support of the academic,
cultural and athletic activities that we
incorporate in the yearly planning at
the university. I personally thank everyone involved as it significandy

Food service invites
student contribiution

by Lisa Barnes
for The Voice
"Disappointing" was the word Tim
Ail, Director of Food Services, used
to describe a survey he conducted this
past December in the Scranton Commons.
The survey consisted of ten questions about the food , facility, and
staff. It was distributed on the Thursday and Friday before finals, a factor
which could have had some bearing
on the negative results.
According to Ail, the M.W. Wood
Company, which runs the service,
usually receives somewhere around
80 percent positive feedback on similar surveys of other facilities. The
results of Ail's survey were about 63
percent positive.
"I'm commitled to making the best
institutional food service possible,"
Ail said. "I won 't hide the results" of
this survey.

"By making the fight against MS

making a big difference in bringing us
closer to the day when this disabling
disorder will no longer be a problem
in their lives, or the quarter of a million Americans who have MS. We
salute their commitment and applaud

Hausner added.

Ail is disappointed because the
students obviously feel he is not providing satisfactory service. That is
why he is encouraging student participation.
Ail provides cards on the fables for

that "it does not appear that further

But Webster's office ordered them

R-Wis., asked the FBI's Milwaukee
office why it was investigating
CISPES, he was curdy referred to the
Washington headquarters.
Referring to numerous inquiries
about that probe from the media, the
Milwaukee office reported, "All requests for information have been
answered with a 'no comment.' "
The extent of the infiltration of
CISPES is suggested by an FBI report on the finances of the 250member chapter in Chicago. "At the
last door-to-door canvassing campaign, 29 (Chicago) CISPES members collected $2,117.53," it said.
The documents also show several
instances in which FBI agents copied
license-plate numbers of individual
protesters attending public rallies.
The Houston office went a step further, distributing 104 photographs of

camps in the U.S. for the rehabilitation and reindoctrination of Salvadoran guerrillas ... either to be returned to the fighting in El Salvador or
to remain in the U.S. to establish
guerrilla cells," Pittsburgh reported.
The plan was vetoed in Washington
on grounds that the proposed undercover agent had transferred out of
Pittsburgh.
"As targeted group closely scrutinizes a newly introduced member s
political beliefs, background and personality, Pittsburgh has no suitable
replacement currently available,"
Webster's office said.
Hugh Byrne, CISPES political director in Washingion , called the allegations about training guerrillas
"ludicrous" and "nonsense."
As for the widespread surveillance,
he said, "We feel outraged. We feel
violated. You 'd think they would
have something better to do with their
time and money than investigating an
organization that was merely dissenting from the administration 's policies."

Voice remains on campus

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
One week past and all is calm. Instead of packing up our Macs and
fleeing to some abandoned building
downtown , The Voice staff has chosen to rcjnain in our designated spot
in the bowels of the Union.
Last Monday, the CGA senate
passed a proposal made by the
newspaper 's editorial board asking
for financial independance from
CGA. However, we like to think of it
more as financial self-sufficiency. To
say we could be totall y independent of
our governing body would be ludicrous.
The Voice is* a student-run , student
newspaper. Its purposes arc to gather
information and present it to the university community. It is also a learning tool , a vehicle for mass communication majors, as well as other interested parlies , to experiment wilh ,
learn and practice ncwswriiing, feature writing, advertising, etc.
The CGA , an elected body of students who work lor students, is the

parent organization for more than 100
campus clubs and organisations. It is
ihe responsibility of CGA to allocate
money to these organizations. Money
to produce The Voice is, or at least
was, allocated from the CGA budget.
Student. Notice how dial word
keeps popping up?Bccause the two
organizations are run by students for
the students , it could probably be reasoned that they arc dependent on each
other in some ways. The Voice depends on CGA to be fair in the decision making, to evaluate issues and
act accordingl y. CGA depends on The
Voice to be fai r and objective when
reporting university news and to keep
the university informed of what is
going on.
However , to loosen the strings a bit ,
the new policy allows The Voice to
keep its advertising revenue at the end
of each year in a separate account in
the University Trust Fund. After a
substantial amount is maintained , this
money will be used to produce the paper, therefore cvcnuall y eliminating
the need for a CGA budget.

To the Editor
I would like lo lake this opportunity
to respond to the "One Disappointed
Senator". M y response will nolbe one
of retaliation , but one of explanation.
First , I would like to explain the
purpose of die executive board. To
begin , I would like to reproduce part
of the editorial which appeared in the
Jan. 28 issue of The Voice: THEY
made all the amendments , THEY
asked all die questions and THE Y
made us, or me at least, feel incompetenl to make ihis decision. I realized I
wasn 't alone as several senators
spoke their minds , for the first time ,
on the issue."
The key words here are: FOR THE
FIRST TIME. The reason exec board
creates the amendments and asks
questions is so the senate can obtain as
much information concerning the
issue at hand as possible. If exec
board did not perform these duties ,

then by your own admission , they
would not be carried out.
Another fact should be clarified at
this point. The amendments that were
brought to the senate were not developed by exec board thoughts solely.
Other concerned individuals were
involved including the former editorin-chief of The Voice (except D-6)
and CGA administrators. But I am
sure you did not realize this , along
with many other facts concerning the
exec board .
So now that I have explained why
the exec board performed ils job , I
would like to address your comments
concerning certain questions and/or
comments made by certain members
of the exec board during previous
meetings. You made bold remark s,
but what you do not realize is that it
docs not matte r if you feel the comments or questions were relevant or
not. What matters is dial as many

Boy not immune to abuse in the States

by Ellen Goodman
Editorial Columnist
Terence Karamba may be too
young to divine the importance of the
term "diplomatic immunity." At nine,
any boy would find it hard to understand why such words would protect a
father but not the son he may have
abused.
Terence Haramba would be even
more surprised to know that he has
become the star of an international
tug-of-war; a diplomatic custody
fight. Yet the boy from Zimbabwe is
just that: the central figure in a dispute
before the U.S. Supreme Court that
pits the best interests of one child
against the interests of the international community in upholding a diplomatic code.
The eldest child of a Zimbabwean
diplomat in the United Nations came
to notice in the haphazard way that
private pain sometimes becomes
public information. One morning, it is
alleged, he arrived at his Queens,
N.Y., school bloody and bruised.
The city charged that his father,
Floyd Karamba, "tied Terence's forearms and legs together with wire and
repeatedly struck him with an electrical extension cord." During some of

these beatings he was, they say, hung
from pipes in the basement while his
mother and two sisters were made to
watch.

6-year-old Elizabeth Steinberg , allegedly at the hands of her fadier,
gave this boy what they could not give
Elizabeth . They gave him safety, a
foster home.
Because the father was a diplomat ,
he was immune from prosecution but
not from expulsion. The State Department ordered him to go home, citing
unacceptable conduct. He went, followed by his wife and daughters,
while Terence stayed in a foster home
in New York .
Then Zimbabwe demanded its
young citizen back. Officials prickled
at the implication this boy would be
safer in America than in his own
country. More to the point, they prickled at a breach of diplomatic rules.
In this dispute, our own government has tried to sound a position at
once in sympathy with the child and
yet in support of international law.
But in fact, the two conflict, and the
State Department comes down on the
side of diplomacy.

As Tom Merrill , who filed the
government 's brief wilh Justice
Blackmun on Tuesday, puts it: "We
wouldn 't be happy if die officials of
another country look child of an
American diplomat and determined
Lhat dicy had the authority to decide
the custody of that child , or indeed
whether the child had been abused. "
We subscribe lo rules precisely so
our own diplomats or their children
won 't be at risk in other countries.
There are questions of international
law here. But there are also questions
of one boy 's psyche.
Terence is a frag ile and fri ghtened
boy, his caretakers say. A boy who
has tried tojump out of a car, out of a
second-story window. When told in
the gendest terms he might return to
Zimbabwe, they report that Terence
crawled into a cardboard box and sat
there, rocking back and forth .
So his Legal Aid Society lawyer,
Janet Fink, asked Justice Blackmum
to rule that Terence can appl y for
asylum in the United States. "To us,"
she says, "this is a children 's rights
case."
Even if the justices allow Terence
to stay and plead his case before an
appeals court , the odds are that he will

New AIDS is not U.S. health threat
by Thomas H. Maugh II

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The first known AIDS case in the
U.S. caused by a second AIDS virus
poses no threat to public health or to
the nation's blood supply, federal
officials said Thursday .
The patient was a West African
woman who contracted the disease
before coming lo the U.S. last year to
visit friends and family, epidemiologist Stanley H. Weiss of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey said in a telephone interview.
While in the United States , she was
diagnosed with AIDS and the cause
was traced to human immunodeficiency virus-2 or HIV-2, which was
discovered in West Africa more than
two years ago. Most cases of AIDS
throughout the world - including all
previously reported U.S. cases - are
caused by the related virus HIV-1.
Since arriving in the U.S., the
woman has not engaged in sexual
intercourse, used intravenous drugs
or donated blood , activities that could
transmit the virus, said Weiss.
"This is simpl y an isolated case of
HIV-2," and there is no evidence that
anyone has caught it from her, Weiss
said. "None of the woman 's family or
known contacts have antibodies to
the virus," he added.
'This does not represent a change

in the AIDS situation in this country,"said infectious disease specialist
Robert Horsburgh of the federal
Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. "It does not indicate that the
virus is here."
Dr. Robert E. Windom , assistant
secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services, also
noted that federal studies showed that
the U.S. blood supply had not been
contaminated by the virus.
The woman is currently in isolation at the University of Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey Hospital
in Newark, where she is being treated
for a severe bacterial infection.
AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, destroys the
body 's immune system, leaving the
victim vulnerable to infections and
some cancers.
Health officials are not sure how
the woman - whose race, age and
family status were not revealed contracted the disease, but they noted
that she does not belong to any
groups considered at high risk in the
United States. The woman does have
a history of heterosexual relations in
her home country, although she is not
a prostitute, "and she received injections while hospitalized there ,"
Weiss said.
She was referred to the university
for treatment of a neurological disor-

der, a common complication of
*
AIDS.
HIV-2 was discovered in West
Africa more than two years ago, and
is thought to infect as much as 17
percent of the population of those
countries. There has been continuing
debate since its discovery about
whether it can cause AIDS. "There
can be little doubt now that it can,"
Weiss said.
About 150 people in Europe have
been confirmed to be infected with
HI V-2, but there have been no previous cases in the United States. Researchers at the Centers for Disease
Control reported Thursday that they
had screened 22,699 blood samples
in the U.S. for HIV-2, and have not
found any trace of the virus.
At a Washington press conference
Thursday, Dr. S. Gerald Sandler,
associate vice president of the
American Red Cross, cited those
statistics in announcing that the organization had no plans to test donated blood for HIV-2.
But many scientists are afraid that
such testing will become necessary if
the virus becomes more commonplace because it is sufficiently different from HIV-1 to frequently escape
detection with the tests now used.
The spread of HIV-2 could also
impede efforts to develop an AIDS
vaccine.

Group brings activities to campus

by Lisa Ha bakus
for The Voice
There is a group of dedicated individuals who sponsor and promote
many activities on campus. But often
their work goes without recognition.
These groups of hardworking students are the Husky Ambassadors.
"Husky Ambassadors arc the link
between alumni , students, faculty and
community ," said Michael Alban , a
senior and president of the Ambassadors. "They are a very active and
important group on Bloomsburg's
campus. They sponsor and promote
man y activities held al the University, " Alban added.

These cirls take time oout to enjoy a quick basketball game this past weekend.
Pholo by Chris I^owcr

How do,the Ambassadors link these
four groups together? "We link them
' through interaction amon the various
groups by sponsoring special programs and attending alumni functions," Alban replied.
There arc 20 members in the group
including Greeks, non-Greeks and
students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

sludents from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Activities for the fall and spring
semester include: Homecoming,
Alumi/Student/Faculty Mixer , Corporate Visits , Alumni-Chapter Visits,
Hosting Receptions , Sponsoring
Speakers, Conventions and the Senior
Send-Off Picnic.
Homecoming weekend is a bi g
weekend for the Ambassadors. They
arc in charge of greeting and registering alumni at The Alumni House and
they sponsor an Ox Roast at Nelson
Field House.
During Homecoming weekend
they also sponsor the Alumni/ Studcnls/Faculty Mixer where alumni
.speakto sludents about career opportunities.
Corporate visits arc another important event sponsored by the Ambassadors. Frank Schaffcr , a senior and

vice-president of the Ambassadors
said, "Corporate visits arc held in
order to give students an opportunity
to visit locations where they may seek
future employment and speak with
professional s in their field." This
year's visits include: Shared Medical
Systems, Air Products , Meridian
Bank and Liberty Mutual .Juniors and
seniors arc invited to attend these
visils at no cost.

The Ambassadors also attend
Alumni. Chapter meetings whore they
talk to alumni , let Ihcm know what is
new at Bloomsburg and answer any
questions alumni may have.
The main event Husky Ambassadors arc working on this year is the
Senior Send-Off Picnic which is held
at The Alumni House in May. This
picnic is a social gathering for the
seniors and is held in order to acquaint

the seniors with The Alumni House.
There will be entertainment and food
provided free of charge.
The group will also attend National
and District Conventions where they
learn about other schools ' activities
run by Ambassadors. When describing the latest convention , Diane Rude
said, "The trip was terrific - not only
did I get some great ideas for the
Ambassadors, but I also made some
long-lasting friendshi ps."
Anyone interested in applying to
become a Husky Ambassador should
look for app lications at the information desk in early February. Requirements for the position arc: aGPAofat
least 2.5, having earned at least 32
credits, showing leadership qualities ,
and also possessing an interest in
being a link between alumni , students
and administra tion.

Pixie s p lan on a good year
by Lisa H a b a k u s
f o r The Voice
Phi lola Chi , belter known as Pixies, is just one of nine sororities on
Bloomsbiirg 'scampus. Phi lola Chi is
a strong, local social/service sorority
and has been for 13 years. Currentl y
(here arc 75 active members and the
girls ' advisor is Shirley PolkSchradcr , an alumni sister.
The name Phi lola Chi stands for
friendshi p, individuality and courage
and the sorority 's colors arc mint
green and forest green. Pixies ' flower
is the daisy, which symbolizes a fresh
new beginning.
Approximatel y 5,500 students attend Bloomsburg and nearl y 1,000 of
these students arc divided evenl y
among the nine sororities and nine
fraternities. Phi Iota Chi is proud lobe
a part of Bloomsburg 's Greek system.
Each semester the sorority holds a
service projec t, fund raiser , date party
and banquet. Along with these events
in the fall they are active in Homecoming and have a hay ride. In spring,
thev participate in Greek Week.
When asked what some other tradi tions ol the sorority arc, Monica
Green , a senior and current president
of Phi Iota Chi said , "Pixies have
many traditions thai Ihcy have followed over the years . Some of the

more obvious ones arc the wearing of
our green hats, carrying of manuals
and other items , and die green Pixie
jackets."
The sorority house is currently located at 383 1/2 Li ghtstrccl Road ,
which was the sororilys' original location when founded on Nov . 5, 1974.
However, the girls have decided to
move during the summer of 1988 to
401 and 403 Lightstrect Rd. because
"For the past few years the sorority
has been growing in number and wc
have been considering a new house
for a few years, 401 and 403 arc the
perfect oppurtunity for us for several
reasons. It is much larger than our
present location , will be like brand
new after rennovations and is owned
by a concerned and conscientious
landlord ," Green said.
"The fact that wc arc moving to a
new house has been a big booster for
alumni to send money," explained
vice-president Mary Dougherty . The
sorority currentl y has 319 alumni sisters. Dougherty 's position requires
her to write to alumni about any
changes going on. When she rccicvcs
letters from them , she writes back and
thanks them for their interest. She also
keeps track of the alumni fund.

How Freddy Shoop (Mark Harmon) ever became a teacher is beyond
mc. He's unmotivated , irresponsible ,
and uncnthusiastic about teaching.
He's just like the students who he
must teach remedial English to in
summer school. Thai premise begins
this mostl y predictable Carl Reiner
film.
Reiner always achieved hilarious
results directing his favorite star,
Steve Martin , through four films. He
fairs less well with Harmon , who has
obvious problems playing straightout comedy. At times, he exaggerates
his facial expressions, and his voice
rises to an annoying whine. Harmon
gets better results in the more serious
scenes between him and his students.
These particular scenes occur after the
first 20 minutes of "Summer School" .
The first twenty minutes? Well , as
you can guess, neither Shoop nor his
students want to be there. He's missing his vacation in Hawaii , and his
students are missing out on all the

summer fun . So what do they do?
They go on field trips lo Ihe zoo and
amusement park . I wish I had teachers
like that back in high school. These
first twenty minutes arc completel y
unbelievable as wc arc introduced lo
the stereotyp ical students and juvenile sex jokes.
Things then begin to changeand the
film becomes more than just another
mindless teenage sex movie. The students (who want to pass) and Shoop
(threatened with being fi red after the
field tri p incident) realize that the
subject must be learned .
The students say they will learn
easier if Shoop grants each onea wish.
He becomes a chauffer, driving
teacher, Lamazc coach , roommate
and friend . This allows Ihe audience
lo learn more about the student's personalities other than their stereotypical exteriors. While "Summer
School" isn 't a great character study,
it becomes a funnier film in the second
half.
Still , most of the jokes hit rather
than miss, but there are a few good

awards include: Greek Week Champions 1979, Sorority Involvement
Award-Fall 1983 and Spring 1984
and the Sorority Cum Award-Spring
1985, Fall 1986 and 1987.
Kcllic Murwin , recentl y elected
president , said she has many concerns
wilh the way the sorority 's money is
handled. "After talking to representatives from other sororities and fraternities I feel wc could use our money
more wisely," she said. As far as her
hopes for the future of the sorority
Murwin said, "The firsl thing that
went through my mind was the
thoughtof going national. If it is going
to be a trend , I would like Pixies to be
the first to start thai trend."
Come January, the newly elected
executive board will assume ihcir
positions. As already mentioned , the
president will be Kellic Murwin.
Olhcr new officers arc: vice-president; Penny Gutshall , recording
secretary ; Stephanie Comcau, corresponding secretary; Judy Brusko ,
treasurer; Mary Ann Davis , directress; Judy Romain , historian; Beth
Powers and pledge mistress; Sue
Paluba. The new executive'board is
looking forward to continuing the
tradition , reputation and ideal s maintained by the Pixies over the years.

laug hs when (after Shoop quits when
he realizes his students were taking
advantage of him) they frighten off z
substilute teacher with bloody horroi
makeup supplied by two fellow slu-.
dents.
These two students have othei
funny moments when they imitate
two movie critics giving thumbs up or
down on various things. While all this
is going on, there's aromantic subplot
involving Shoop and a history
teacher, played by Kirstie Alley of
"Cheers." It 's all fairl y predictable, as
is the ending when Shoop 's job is in
jeopardy if the kids don 't pass the
English final .

QUEST

Dog owner tips are offered
by John Roberts
for The Voice
W hen I was just a kid and still fresh
in the world, I, like many other kids,
wanted a dog. I whined and cried and
told my parents about all of the other
"nice " parents on the block.
I tried everything, even emotional
blackmail. "If you don 't, buy me a dog,
I'll run away from home," type of
thinking. Three days and fifty twinkles later I realized that they were not
moved. Luckily, after showing them
my Micky Mouse photo I.D. they let
mc back in the house.
However, I was persistent. Soon
they came lo realize they would either
have to buy me a dog or sell me on the
black market. The latter was quickl y

Gcraldo Rivera would come knocking on their door wanting to do a story

Another successful evening at
Cheers, Bloomsburg University 's
non-alcoholic nightspot , gathered
more than a hundred people Wednesday night. Dance, music and visual
entertainment was provided by the
Party Masters Video Dance Company.
Sponsored by the Program Board,
Cheers features snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Also , Cheers provides

or special interest group to do a service project. Members of the group

lets. At least they don 't come with
ones that tell you the necessities. So
instead of hoarding all of the things I
learned about owning a dog, I decided
to share my knowledge with others.
Here are a few excerpts from my own
little booklet:
-Never confuse that old axiom
about cats with dogs. When tossed in
the air, dogs almost always land on
their heads.
-Never trust your dog to guard your
house. Dogs are known for carrying
on when the mailman is near, but if a
burgular comes in, your dog is more
than likely to play possum. Most dogs
don 't see themselves as the hero type.
-Dogs over 50 pounds despise
being called "Sweetie," "Honeybunch ," and "Woofy-face."
-Never sneak up on a Pit Bull and
yell BOO! Pit Bulls have no sense of
humor.
-Avoid the temptation when playing ball with your dog to "fake" a
throw. Dogs really hale that.
-Never hit a Great Dane when it's a
puppy. Great Danes have excellent

memory.
-Never let your dog play with your
hamster. From a dog's point of view,
a hamster appears to be an active,
hairy beef frank.
-If your dog continually prefers to
take its dumps in your dress shoes,
despite all your efforts to house train
your pet, it is not necessarily because
the dog is stupid. He may in fact be
very smart but just happens to think
you 're a jerk.
-Never try to make your dog look
like one of those "neat wrinkled dogs"
by getting him wet and putting him in
the dryer. The rumors about this
working are simply not true.
- If, when you leave your dog Butch
outside, you find the neighborhood
dogs are acting excited and trying to
mount him , change his name.
Finally, training your dog to stay
within the boundaries of the yard by
placing small land mines around the
perimeter is not considered negative
reinforcement training.

chairperson of Program Board and a
Phi Delta sister, commented on the
success of Cheers since she took on
the position to organize Cheers last
spring.
"I'm very happy with the success of
Cheers. This year my committee and I
have received a lot of help from
members of the Program Board , the
various organizations and others who
work at Cheers," said Stein.

"We can always use more help, but
with the different kinds of entertainment and everyone's cooperation,
Cheers is getting better and better
each time," she added.
In the months ahead , Cheers will

. Founded over thirty years ago by
Dr. James H. Robinson, Crossroads
has sent more than 8,000 volunteers to
34 African countries and 1500 high
school participants to 18 Caribbean
islands and the newly independent
Central American country of Belize.
This unusual experience provides a
brief, but intense immersion in societies with traditional and modern influences and pushes individuals to reexamine basic attitudes, standards,
and beliefs in relation to people with
contrasting values and life styles.
Crossroads is actively seeking high
school and college-age students to
participate in this year's community
development programs in rural Caribbean and African villages. The seven
week projects in Africa, which are
sponsored jointly by Crossroads and
the governments of the different African countries, will involve special-

ized projects in medicine, nursing,
community development, archaeology, architectural photography, and
agriculture.

by Rebecca Solsman
for The Voice
Just as many things are new this
year, QUEST Outdoor Adventures
has a new staff in their office located in
Simon Hall on Bloomsburg
University's campus.

Rich Helmuth is QUEST'S new logistics coordinator, a recent Outdoor
Recreation graduate from Radford
University, Radford , Virginia. And
Jeff Bogner is QUEST'S new intern ,
presently a senior at Southern Illinois
University, Carbondale.

Chuck Connell y is QUEST'S new
executive director , previously an instructor at the North Carolina Outward Bound School , a nationally reknowned school for outdoor activities
and personal development.
Barbara Larke is QUEST'S new
program director , previously an instructor/couselor at Abraxas Foundation, a center located near Allegheny
National Forest in northwestern Pa.

In addition to this highly qualified
professional staff is the student staff,
responsible for things from office
work and Public Relations to course
leadership. Each of the students that
instruct courses must go through

'Th e Suicide' teaches about Russia

The Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble, a professional regional theatre company, will bring a piece of
Russia to central Pennsylvania with
"The Sucide", by Nikolai Erdman.
The play opens Thursday, February 4
at 8 p.m. and runs Thursdays to Sundays through February 20, at the
Alvina Krause Theatre in downtown
Bloomsburg.
Written between 1926 and 1930,
"The Suicide" takes a humorous look
at one man 's battle with such everday
problems as unemployment and government bureaucracy. It was comical
enough to offend Stalin , who banned
the play and later exiled Erdman. Fifty
years later, after much popular success in the United States and Europe,
"The Suicide" played to packed
houses in Moscow.
"The Suicide (A Comedy!)" centers on Semyon, an ordinary man
trying to make his presence known in
a hopelessly complicated world. Out
of work and plagued by nosy neighbors, he is trying desperately to make
a comfortable life for himself. His
money-making scheme to be a tube
virtuoso turns into a fiasco when he
tries to procure an instrument and
learn to play it. In the process, word
gets out that he plans to commit suicide. When an unlikely assortment of
self-seeking characters enter the
scene, his plan ranges out of control.

The play pokes fun of people who
are so serious about their individual
concerns, they are silly: the poet
whose ego supercedes his work; the
postman who feels superior to everyone else and the intellectual who is
full of talk but short on action.
The director of "The Suicide (A
Comedy!)", Laura Johnson, comes to
BTE from Bethlehem, PA. With degrees from Chatham College and
Boston University, she has directed
both theatre and opera for over ten
years. Her credits include a series of
one act plays by Samuel Beckett and
Bertolt Brecht at the Williamstown
Theatre Festival, Mozart's "Don
Giovanni" at the Cincinnati College
Conservatory of Music, Beckett's
"Footfalls" and "Eh, Joe" at Lehigh
and Harvard Universities and "La
Boheme" and "The Marriage of
Figard" at the Buckingham Opera
Theatre in New York City.
Ensemble member David Moreland will portray Semyon, the play s
comic hero. Moreland has played
such roles as The Reverend David in
"The Foreigner", Mr. Fezziwig in the
1987 production of a "A Christmas
Carol" and Valere in "Tartuffe."
The remainder of the cast includes
Ensemble members Laurie McCants
as Semyon's well-meaning motherin-law; Gerard Stropnicky as Alexander, an overzealous capitalist; Leigh
Strimbeck as Cleopatra, a woman

with a beautiful face; Martin Shell as
Pugachev, a butcher; James Goode as
Father Elpidi; Rand Whipple as
Viktor, a conceited poet and Whit
MacLaughlin as Oleg, a great lover.
Guest actors include former Ensemble member Tori Truss as
Semyon 's worrying wife, former
Ensemble member Charles Queary as
Aristarkh, a long-winded liberal;
Randolph Miles as Egor, an empassioned Marxist postman; Gretchen
Krich as Margarita , a meddling
woman; Julia Burr as Raissa, a
woman with a beautiful stomach and
Andrew Hubatsek as a deaf/mute boy.
Community members Phyllis Bernatonis and Robyn Jay will also be featured.
"The Suicide (A Comedy!)" runs
February 4-20 at the Alvina Krause
Theatre , ' 226 Center Street ,
Bloomsburg. Performances are
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8
p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Ticet prices

by Raskin Mark
Staff Writer
On January 22, Mike Tyson
took another giant step towards
immortality with a splendid display against the 'old man' Larry
Holmes.
After three uneventful rounds
it seemed as though someone had
finally found a way to nullify
Tyson's power, but that soon
changed as Iron Mike woke up.
Just as Holmes opened the
fourth round in impressive fashion with his version of the jaband-move, Tyson countered with
his now famous seek-and-deslroy technique. As Holmes
flicked his once lethal left jab in
the face of Tyson to keep him at
a distance, Tyson clawed his way
within range to load-up on thunderous shots.
He caught Holmes, 17 years
his senior, flush on the chin with
onw of his torpedo rights thrown
with murderous intent.
This sen* Holmes sprawling
across the ring and as a stunned
and badly hurt Larry Holmes
took the mandatory eight count,
it was plain to see that the fight
should have been stopped there
and then.
It 's been said that there is a thin
line between bravery and stupidity, and Holmes, in no condition
to tell the difference between the
two, decided to carry on.
Here is where I think the corner
men should have thrown in the
towel, or the referee should have
taken the initiative and stopped
the fight.
Every blow Holmes received
after that initial knockdown was
potentially life-threatening and a
boxer's safety should always
come first.
So a faded hero, LarryHolmes,
was subsequently knockeddown
two more times before the fight
was stopped. It goes without
saying that at 21, Mike Tyson can
be considered one of the greatest
boxers of any time or weight.
But what of Larry Holmes and
all the others who have had high
hopes and dreams of beating
Tyson?
It seems as though there is no
one out there capable of beating
'Iron Mike,' excepting, perhaps,
Tyson himself. The same thing
can be said for all the retired
fighters who wish to carve a
niche for themselves in the history books.
Stay out of the ring and live in
peace with yourselves.
Tyson said it best after the
fight with Holmes, "Holmes was
a great champion in his time, but
this is Tyson 's time and people
should recognize that for what it
is."
George Foreman, the one time
heavyweight champion, is now
working his way to a crack at
Tyson's belt. The names are the
only things changing, but the end
results are th,e same:
-Tyson in 2
-Tyson in 4
-Tyson in 6
At Foreman's advanced age,
the only problem he poses for
Tyson is really which round and
with which hand he will end the
contest. These were the same
nagging questions Tyson had
against Holmes on the 22nd.
Granted, the money is irresistible for a few shortminutes in the
ring, but the boxing boards and
commisions should act now and
set up clear and definite policies
in regard to capable challengers
for contests under their sanction.
If the present trend is allowed
to continue, I envision the purses
getting to some ridiculousheights and unworthy challengers getting title shots.
If it continues as it is now ,
someone may get seriously hurt,
or even worse, there may be
another fatality in the ring.
Act now arid maintain the integrity of the sport of boxing so
that the public can once again
enjoy contests of epic proportions.

the sport. The first day 's focus will be
pitching and catching skills and many
of the basic mechanics will be covered. Due to the age of several of the
participants, pitching instruction will
be limited to the fastball and changeup. The following day, the emphasis
will be on hitting, fielding and baserunning skills. The clinic is open to all
ages, from elementary school thruogh
high school, and players will be divided into small groups headed by a
member of the clinic staff. Coaches at
all levels of baseball are welcome to

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

What was
so super
about it?
Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

January 31st, Super Sunday.
January 31st, SUPER DUD.
For anyone watching television
this past Saturday, especially on
ABC, this year seemed like it might
be the year wc would gel a close,
competitive Super Bowl.
But , I' m not blaming the entire
day 's lacklustcrncss solely on the
performance of the two conference
champ ions. No, the day was
clearl y a bi g dissapointment all the
way around.
The festivities started at noon.
CBS was offering a match-up of
the Boston Celtics against the
Philadelphia 76crs in the Garden ,
where the Celtics hadn 't lost a
game in their last 64 attempts.
Sixers-Celtics games arc always
good so wc tuned in. However, for
those of us expecting some Barkley brawn to take on the Bird 's
finesse, we were not treated to
such.
What wc saw was a Sixer team
that was short two of their leading
scorers, most importanUy, Charles
Barklcy. So the Celtics walked all
over the hap less Sixers , who are a
sub-par team even at full strength.
Bird scored at will , Aingc nailed
a couple of three's and even sing lehandedl y broke up a Sixer two-onone fast break.
So as we watched what was
probably the worst game in NBA
history, CBS still wouldn 't let us
off the hook. They wcrcn'v ready lo
sell this day off yet. They continued to entice the viewer with
dioughts of Big East basketball
versus Big Ten basketball in the
Carrierdomc.
That 's right , #17 Syracuse was
taking on #8 Michi gan . What could
be a better lead into the biggest
football game since January 1st,
than a top 20 game.
Successfully duped , we began to
watch Seikaly and Coleman do
what ihcy did best, dunk. So as the
Wolverines and the Orangeman
did battle, the game shaped up to be
a real barn-burner.
Michigan led early, but Douglas
and his two companions in the
frontcourt soon changed that with
some awesomne displays of alley oops.
At halflime, wc got a little antsy
and checked the Kentucky-Notre
Dame game on ABC. For the brief
moment wc tuned in , we saw Rex
Chapman drive baseline to the
hoop and sky in for a finger-roll
that earned comments of appreciation from all of us.
Satisfied that the Wildcats were
handling the Irish, we switched
back to the Carrierdome for some
halftime fluff. We were treated to a
shot of Pitt 's Jerome Lane disposing of a backboard .
I couldn 't beleive it.
I saw it again.
I still couldn 't believe it.
Then , disaster struck.
As if on cue, reality came crashing into the Carrierdome and
slowly turned the game into a blow
out, with the Orangeman finally
winning by 18. We were so bored,
we started to watch the guy on the
sidelines who did a lap everytime
Syracuse scored.
Wow.
Then came the Super Bowl preview show, fortunately we missed
a majority of it while still glued to
our seats watching the basketball
game.
We jockeyed for position in
front of the screen , picked our
winners and anxiously waited for
the kickoff.
Then, finally, at 6:21, it came.
At 28-10, 1 left.
Rumor has it Washington won
by 30 points.I don 't know, I missed
the rest of the game because I had
better things to do.
Like my laundry.

Newsday
These days in the Big East, you
almost need a grocery-store clicker to
keep track of all the technical fouls
being levied al coaches. Last Monday
night , Providence's Gordon Chiesa
was socked with one. Pittsburgh' s
Paul Evans and Connecticut 's Jim
Calhoun already have a season's
share - five.
When Pitt played UConn, Evans
took time out from coaching to point
out that Calhoun 's feet had stepped
out of the coach's box , a no-no. The
official called a technical on Calhoun.
"That was a real brave call," said
Calhoun , the most fervent critic of the
men in stripes. He then received a
second for yelling about the first.
"That makes probably 354 of
Ihose," Calhoun said, meaning in his
career. "If they all bothered me, I'd be
Calhoun
a dead man by now."
has thistheory that the brat pack of the
league - new coaches such as he,
Evans , Boston College's Jim O'Brien
and Chiesa - suffer for the same things
the established actors get away with.
"I watch Paul, and in all honesty, Paul
is very tough. I'm very animated, and

confidence by Boeheim , there had
been speculation that Syracuse threepoint specialist Matt Roe - who lacks
the other all-around skills - was going
to lose his starting position to Earl
Duncan , who had 11 points, including
three three-pointers, against Georgetown Sunday. It may happen yet.
There were other promotions and
demotions last week in moves that
made coaches look as if they were
playing musical players.
At Connecticut, Calhoun has used
six different starting lineups. Center
Cliff Robinson is the only player to
have started every game. Secondleading scorer Phil Gamble finally has
replaced Tate George as starting point
guard. And freshman Murray Williams has become a starter at forward
only two weeks after Calhoun said he
was too green.
At Georgetown, John Thompson
went with two point guards in his
starting five against Syracuse to cut
down on "uncaused turnovers," and
center Ben Cillery replaced nowstarting Charles Smith as the sixth
man. Cillery responded with a careerhigh 11 points and six rebounds in 28

Jim is always going at them. But
Jimmy (Boeheim) and Looie (Carnesccca) do it, too. They (officials)

Looie and say, 'Isn't he cute and active.' Then they look at me. I'm 6-5,
and I'm not cute.'"
When told that Calhoun was arguing for his cause, O'Brien said thanks,
but no thanks. "Those two guys are
crazy. I' m a mild-mannered reporter.
Don't put me with those guys."

When asked the significance of his
Sooners beating then-No. 6-ranked
Pitt , 86-83, Oklahoma Coach Billy
Tubbs became indignant. "That's old
hat, man. What Big East team has
beaten us? None, none, like none.
This is not like we won a world championship because we beat a Big East
team. I'd say they 're better than the
Transamerica Conference."
Tubbs is 3-0 vs. Big East teams in
his career; Oklahoma is 4-5 overall.
"Hey, if you bring any one of them
outhere, we'll kick their buttand send
them home," he said. "This (Pitt) is
the best team in that league."
