Steam part of the problem

Steam rising from the ground .
Phone problems annoying students-.
Tents covering the basketball court
manholes. Mysterious gas drifting
through the Benjamin Franklin Building.
Are any of these incident related?
According to Don McCulloch , director of Physical Plant and Energy
Management, several are, and have
been management priorities at
Bloomsburg University for the past
half year.
Num erous hot water leaks in the
condensate return pipe system, which
heats most of the university buildings ,
cause steam to rise from the ground ,
McCulloch said.
Ideally, the condensate return system, which has been used for about 20
years, is a continuous energy cycle of
steam that heats buildings, condenses
into water, and returns to the Central
Heating Plant, below Old Science
Building, to be revaporized.
Without water leaks, the system
could efficiently reutilize 92 percent
of the water and purchase 8 percent
new water.
Currently, the system requires 50
percent new water intake, according
to McCulloch.
Last semester, the leaking pipes
damaged telephone lines underneath
the basketball courts between Navy

Hall and Benjamin Franklin Building,
causing static on most campus
phones. According to McCulloch,
holes were dug into the basketball
courts to allow the phone lines to dry.
The eroding condition of the pipes
could not be avoided , according to
McCulloch, who said that BU (a stateowned university) petitioned the
Pennsylvania State Legislature for
repair funds eight years ago. Although the app/opriation bill passed
in 1980, actual funds of nearly
$707,000 were unavailable until last
fall.
"We try to anticipate what projects
we will need funds for. It's very diffi cult to gel projects of this type approved by the leg islature ,"
McCulloch said.
Before a Shamokin contractor was
hired to repair the pipes, BU initiated
an asbestos removal/containment
project last semester.
Asbestos was removed from 34
manholes where pipe leaks would be
repaired.

The BU administration makes
$120,000 available to us each year for
asbestos removal or containment. The
university is showing responsibility,"
McCulloch said.
Adhering to Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Environmental Resources requirements
that the asbestos removal spaces be
shielded, yellow tents were placed

over the manholes to decrease the
opportunity for asbestos fibers to
become airborne, McCulloch said. '
According to McCulloch , a comprehensive study of asbestos on campus was completed last year. Highrisk areas, attaining a score of six,
were dealt with immediately. The
only "six area" was found in the old
QUEST office under Centennial
Gymnasium, where a metal cabinet
had been brushing against a torn asbestos covering.
Asbestos has also been removed or
contained in the renovated Sutliff
Building and in the Old Science
Building currently under renovation ,
McCulloch said.
Last week, Ben Franklin Building
employees , complaining of dizziness,
headaches , and irritability , claimed
that a gas pervaded their working
area, according to Lynold McGhee,
Occupational Health and Safety officer of BU. When asked if a link existed between the repairs of the condensate return system and the gas,

McCulloch said, "There is no reason
to believe it's connected with the
condensate system. It's a mystery.We
were unable to determine what the
problem was, and we looked into it as
thoroughly as we could."
McGhee confirms that since last
week, no evidence of gas exists in the
building, and employee complaints
have ceased.

Candidates seek
religious support

by T.R. Reid

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Bypassing the biblical injunction to
"turn the other cheek," the two most
overtiy Christian presidential campaigns have launched a bitter battle of
mud-slinging and rumor-mongering
to win support from born-again Christians in this state's Republican caucuses.
In their fliers and phone banks,
backers of former television evangelist Pat Robertson are charging that
Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., is unworthy
of Christian support because of his
policies and personal life.
Meanwhile, Kemp supporters and
various anonymous sources are distributing literature charging that
Robertson's politics and theology
violate scriptural teachings.
This week, for example, someone
stuffed the faculty mailboxes at Faith
Bible College here with a photocopied flier suggesting that Kemp 's support for a gold standard underlying
international currencies is an unchristian position.
The flier was signed "Students for
Robertson."
Some Des Moines-area Baptists
received a document saying
Robertson 's tactics in the Michigan
Republican campaign violate biblical
laws enunciated in Chapter 13 of
Paul's letter to the Romans.
The paper was not signed, but
Kemp aides acknowledge it was the
work of a Kemp supporter.
In southwest Iowa, a conservative
bastion , some Republicans say a local
Robertson campaign worker has been
telling born-again Christians that
Kemp has not been a faithful husband.
Asked about this, the Robertson
backer, Russell Rogers, replied,
"There's a lot of junk like that fly ing
around, and I don 't know who 's saying what about anybody."
In Page County, on the Missouri
border, the animosity between competing groups of Republican Christians has gotten so heated that GOP
Chairman Dennis Parrot has ordered a
cease-fire. "I've told these people to
knock it off," Parrot said.
"I tell them that Jack Kemp and Pat
Robertson will be gone once the caucuses are over, but we have to live

with our neighbors down here for the
rest of our lives."
Parrot is supporting Sen. Robert J.
Dole, R-Kan., for president.
The increasingly nasty KempRobertson conflict reflects the importance of born-again Christians in
Monday 's Republican caucuses,
when the two will be battling for the
role of chief conservative alternative
to the GOP front-runners , Vice President George Bush and Dole.
The born-again population has
been an important factor in Republican politics here in the past.
This year, though , it seems that
religious concerns will loom larger.
In a sermon last Sunday, for example, a prominent Des Moines minister, the Rev. John Palmer, senior
pastor of the First Assembly of God
Church , told parishioners to apply a
"biblical litmus test"when choosing a
presidential candidate.
Officiall y, both campaigns say they
deplore the attack materials that have
spread.
"It's amazing how much of this
junk there is out there," said Marlene
Elwell, Robertson 's Midwest campaign director. "We wish there
weren't any, on either side."
Elwell said the anti-Robertson literature and rumors "definitely come
from the Kemp people, or at least we
have a pretty good idea that's who it
is."
Elwell said Kemp backers are
probably behind a 15-page compilation of Robertson quotations that has
been mailed to evangelical Christians
by the "Coalition for Biblical Renewal."
The document purports to show
that Robertson is a practitioner of
"New Age" theology, derived from
Oriental cults. Robertson denies any
connection with the "New Age."
The Kemp campaign , in contrast,
says Robertson's people have told
many Christians that Kemp's advocacy of a gold standard conflicts with
scripture.
Kemp and Robertson are showing
voters long lists of born-again ministers who support them. And Dole on
Tuesday announced formation of
"National Coalition of Evangelicals
for Dole."

The steam rising from fli c basketball is just a small part of the problems that have plagued the university in the past semester.

Contras still at war despite lack of US aid
by Richard Boudreaux

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Nicaraguan President Daniel
Ortega said Thursday that Nicaragua
will stay on a war footing despite
Congress' defeat of new U.S. aid for
the Contras. He warned civic opponents not to expect"a process of peace
and democracy" until President Reagan comes to terms with the Sandinista revolution.
But spokesmen for Nicaragua 's
unarmed opposition said that the
congressional action Wednesday
night undermined any government
excuse to keep blocking constitutional proposals that seek to loosen
the Sandinistas' grip on political
power.
Many Nicaraguans greeted the
news of the vote with expressions of
joy and hope for salvation from six
years of war that has claimed more
than 25,000 lives and crippled the
economy.Others said that they feared
that an easing of military pressure will
help the Sandinistas consolidate oneparty rule.
At a press conference, Ortega
voiced neither relief over the aid vote
nor a readiness to make new concessions to his critics.He insisted that his
government has full y complied with a
Central American peace accord that
calls for observance of democratic
freedoms and political pluralism.
"The vote in Congress can influence peace efforts," Ortega said, "but
it does not make the war go away.
"If this (vote) makes Reagan conclude that the time has come for a
change of his policy, then therewill be
a chance for peace," he added. "But it
will be a miracleif the president of the
United States becomes a man of
peace.''
Ortega repeated his offer for direct
talks between Managua and Washington toguaranteeNicaragua's secu-

rity. War will go on, he said, until the
administration accepts such talks,
stops aiding the Nicaraguan rebels
and instructs them to accept a negotiated cease-fire. He accused El Salvador and Honduras of violating the
peace accord by continuing to let the
rebel army to use their territory.
"This is a very crucial moment,
very tense," the Sandinista leader
said. Nicaraguans, he warned, "must
stay massively and permanently involved in the defense of the revolution
... to achieve the total defeat of the
mercenary forces."
As long as Washington supports
"counterrevolutionary groups and
military options, a process of peace
and democracy cannot go forward ,"
he declared.
Ortega's remarks mean young
Nicaraguans will continue to be
drafted to maintain the Sandinista
army at about 85,000 men.
Thursday the government radio
urged 17-year-olds to report to army
induction centers in Managua.
As the president spoke, leaders of
14 opposition parties marched to the
National Assembly with a list of
demands for ridding the constitution
of its "anti-democratic content."
First on the list is a reduction of the
army and of its control by the ruling
party.
The broad coalition, ranging from
Communists to conservatives, also
wants to limit Sandinista domination
of the electoral process, the judiciary
and trade unions; abolish Sandinista
neighborhood vigilante committees
and wage controls; limit executive
power, and bar any president from reelection.
Most of the demands were rejected
by the government last year before the
collapse of a "national dialogue"
mandated by the regional peace accord. The opposition asked Thursday

that the dialogue be resumed with an
impartial mediator.
"The moment of truth has arrived,"
said Virgilio Godoy, a member of me
assembly's anti-Sandinista minority.
"The Reagan administration has been
saying that without military pressure,
a democratic opening in Nicaragua is
impossible.
"The Sandinistas have been saying
there can be no democracy while the
United States finances the war,"
Godoy went on. "Well, the financing
has stopped, and the Sandinistas have
run out of legitimate excuses. Now
they have to show their real face."
President Oscar Arias Sanchez of
Costa Rica, the author of the Central
American peace accord signed last
August, expressed a similar view
without mentioning Nicaragua by
name.
Calling the congressional action a
vote of confidence in the five-nation
agreement, Arias told reporters in San
Jose: "From now on, we bury war.
There will be no excuses, no pretexts
not to comply fully with the spirit and
letter of the accord ."
While Ortega insisted his government has already complied with the
accord, opposition leaders noted that
the government has not granted amnesty to most political prisoners or
allowed the opposition to operate a
;television station.
Many Nicaraguans gathered in
churches Wednesday night to pray for
peace and await word of the congressional vote on transistor radios.
When 32 worshippers heard the
news in a chapel in Managua's poor
Nicarao section, they burst into applause and song. The Baptist minister,
Patricia Castro, offered a prayer.
"Thank you, Lord, for remembering
our suffering," she said.
"I have goose bumps," said Juan
Mendoza. a leader of the ecumenical

group. We know the war won t slop
immediately, but the important thing
is that it 's now illegal. Little by little,
the Contras will fade away."
Socorro Galeano, who sells fruit
drinks on a dirty sidewalk outside
Managua's Eastern Market, said the
vote was "good news" because it
means "the Contras will stop killing
our children." She said one of her
three sons died while serving in the
army.
Jairo Mora, 17, lined up outside an
army induction center in the Morazan
working-class district, said he, too,
welcomed the news from Washington.
"But now that the Contras are not
getting more aid, I don 't understand
why we have to go fight," he said.
"Against whom? I would rather study
and work to help my parents, but if I
don't sign up, they will put me in
prison."

Criticism welcome

Read candidate 's ingredients carefull y

by Ellen Goodman
Editorial Columnist
Don 't talk to Elaine Baxter about
six packs and dwarfs and lackluster
candidates. The Iowa secretary of
state prefers her own think-positive
theory: "The problem is the candidates are so good we're having
trouble making up our minds. I run
into people who say, 'I'll decide at die
debate' and then they come out and
say, T can 't decide. ' "
A somewhat less checrlcading version of the same theory is presented
by a Des Moines lawyer: "We don 't
hate any of diem, and we don 't love
any of them."
This is how it is in the last days of
the Democratic campaign. There
have been 27 debates and endless
speeches. The voters here have been
tracked by pollsters like tagged animals on a reservation.
But the people of Iowa aren 't emanating such sure signals of direction.
The most intriguing of the numbers'
being crunched daily, even hourly,
are the ones that feature the Fickle
factor. At least 12 percent are still
undecided.
More to the point, half of those who
support one of the three at die front of
the pack - Simon, Gephardt and
Dukakis - tell the Iowa Poll that they
"might"yet change their minds. After
a year of courtshi p, well over half of
the people have kept their options at
least a bit ajar.
Credit this, if you choose, to the
high quality of the candidates. Credit
it to the traveling pack. But credit it

also to the resistance of consumers
faced with too many choices.
The problem isn 't that the candidates present a six or seven pack.
After all, you can pick a pack up in one
hand. The problem is that they present
six or seven brands. All nicely packaged, all well advertised.
To turn down a different aisle of
this consumer metaphor, presidential
politics in Iowa is like going to the
supermarket for cereal. In place of an
old standby, you are offered an entire
row of new options. One boasts fiber,
the other vitamins , a third calcium.
The informed consumer is supposed to comparison-shop through
this row, to read each list of ingredients thoroughly - to know the cost and
calories, die FDA daily allowance of
vitamins A through D. Multiply this
process by all the products and you
can spend bewildered days in the
marketplace, without ever knowing
what die stuff will taste like when you
buy it.
The Democrats who come out for
primaries regard several of their candidates as better for the country than
the Frosted Flakes on the other side of
the aisle.
But in primary season, they are
being asked to simultaneously compare seven men on a dozen criteria from Central America to charisma,
from the budget to electability.
It's an imossible task. And that may
be what made Iowans uneasy, slow to
commit. As Baxter expressed it:
"There is a real feeling here of wanting to make 'the right' decision."

woman had a tight grip on my hand,
The elder woman then said "they
ihink I don 't know. They diink I
don 't understand...but I do." Overwhelmed willi what was happening
thus far , I simpl y replied "Yes, I
know you understand."
The younger woman , now obviously bitter about the information I
was receiving, stepped behind the
elder lady and began to ruthlessly
push her. She then decisively said
"Come on, move il!"
A man waited in the lobby for the
two women. The younger woman ,
in an arrogant voice, said "She lied.
She didn 't have to go." The man
stared at mc as the younger woman
mumbled on about how the elder
woman had me "confused with
someone else."
I smiled as I replied "No. I don 't
think she has me confused with
anyone else." It was clear that the
younger woman didn 't care what I
said as she continued mumbling.
Meanwhile, I wondered how this

Iowans are conscious of their role
as the test shoppers, the early screeners. The "waiting for Cuomo" syndrome that has plagued the Democratic Party, the vague longing for
anodier candidate, isn 't really a wish
for more candidates.
It is the longing for a shortcut,
someone who would shine straight
through , saving us from making so
many decisions.
Whatever they think about Iowans
and their caucuses, Democrats in the
rest of the country want to have the list
cut. At the very least they want what
the Republicans have: two picks and a
long-shot.

Today m New Hampshire onethird of the voters are undecided. The
Super Tuesday crowd in the South is
barely paying attention. It is assumed
- indeed hoped - that some of these
candidal won 't make il lo their
hometown shelf.

A presidential campaign is not really like a shopping trip. If you pick
the wrong cereal, after all, you don 't
have to eat it for four years.
The new and reformed primary system has produced a season that 's wide
open and colorful. B ut what the voters
really want is to cut down the number
of brand names.

woman could have the audacity to treat
another person in such an inhumane
manner. I ihought about all my friends
who treat their pets with greater care
and love then what this older woman
was receiving at the moment.
The man disrupted my though ts as he
calmly said "Okay let 's go." The old
woman's grip on my hand tightened.
Sympathetically, I said "She's a very
nice lady. Please be gentle with her." I
let her hand go as she tried to hold on. I
pulled away and took a step back. She
even held on to my fingers as her gaze
begged me not to leave.
I walked away, turned around, and
cried. Someone being abused, I could
not withstand; the helplessness I could
not comprehend.
And to think that Sherri Rhodomoycr, an employee at the Office of Aging,
said that "die numbers are doubling
every year. There is definitely an increase in Columbia County with the
number of elders being abused, neglected, or mistreated."

bring this to my attention. It is encouraging to see that someone had a
complaint and went through the
proper channels to have the problem
fixed.
So man y times complaints are
made, yet nothing is done because
the people who hear the complaints
are not the people in die position to
make a change.
The letter I received also questions "who is wise and who pretends
to be wise." In defense, I would like
to say we do not pretend to be wise,
nor do we pretend to be perfect.
Mistakes can be made anywhere,
anytime - especially during a late
deadline.
I am not convinced that calling a
woman a girl is such a terrible crime.
In any case, I invite all of our
readers to follow her example and
let us know when we do something
offending. We do not try to offend.
Your complaints are more effective
when we hear them first hand, instead of through the grapevine.
The "girls and men" of The Voice
apologize for the error and in the
future will strive to keep from making die same mistake. Again, thank
you for your input. Constructive
criticism will only make us better.

Documents suggest tobacco industry was aware

Cigarettes can cause cancer

by John Riley
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
A web of internal tobacco industry documents revealed at a trial Thursday suggests that industry researchers concluded 26 years ago that cigarettes contained cancer-causing agents, and one company developed a less carcinogenic cigarette by 1979 but never
marketed it.
Liggett Group Inc., according to one document, spent
$14 million to develop a palladium and magnesium
nitrate additive that "neutralizes" cigarette tars and
reduced the incidence of tumor on mouse skin "by as
much as 95 percent" when tested.
The two elements destroy cancer agents by changing
the way the cigarette burns, according to Liggett documents about its research.
"There was no legitimate scientific reason not to
market this cigarette,"said Dr. Jeffrey Harris, an expert
testifying for the widower of lung-cancer victim Rose
Cipollone.
The widower, Antonio Cipollone,is seeking damages
from Liggett and two other cigarette makers, Philip
Morris Inc. and P. Lorillard Co., for causing his wife's
death in 1984 at age 59.
She was a lifelong smoker of the three companies'
products, including Liggett's Chesterfield and L&M
brands.
Marc Z. Edell, Cipollone's lawyer, contends that
Liggett didn 't market its palladium cigarette because it
might have exposed the company to liability for marketing other brands. Liggett spokesmen have contended
that it was held back because it did not taste good and

because later testing raised questions about its health attributes.
On the fourth day of the trial Thursday, Edell and Harris,
a doctor and economist who teaches at Harvard University
Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, presented more than a dozen previously undisclosed
industry documents.
A 1961 memorandum from Arthur D. Little Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., consulting firm that began doing cancer experiments for Liggett in 1954 stated: "There are biologically
active materials present in cigarette tobacco. These are: a)
cancer causing; b) cancer promoting; c) poisonous ..."
The memo, tided "L&M - A Perspective Review" and
labeled "confidential" appeared to contradict long-standing
claims from Liggett and othercompanies that evidence linking smoking to cancer is inconclusive.
Liggett spokesmen said yesterday that the documents
came from Little's files and not Liggett's, and have never
been read by anyone from Liggett. The memo was unsigned.
In a 21-page, 1961 memorandum, Philip Morris research
director Helmut Wakeham noted that developing a "medically acceptable cigarette" would require "reduction of the
general level of carcinogenic substances in smoke"and cost
$10 million.
Wakeham cited 15 compounds in smoke "identified as
carcinogens" and said,'"Carcinogens are found in practically every class of compound in smoke," a fact that "prohibits complete solution of the problem."
Philip Morris spokesmen Thursday pointed out that
Wakeham was referring to compounds that cause cancer on
the skin of mice. The company says experiments with mice
don 't prove a substance causes cancer to humans.

death threats, including j ournalists, a
television actress, a surgeon, a musician and at least one Roman Catholic
priest, have simply fled the country
rather than attempt to protect themselves against violence from increasingly blurred sources. Most people,
though , have stayed to confront the
danger, lacking either the money or
foreign opportunities to run.
Citizens of a country with a long
democratic traditi on and large ruling
establishment, Colombians often
express amazement that the security
situation has deteriorated to a point
requiring them to ride in armored
cars with bodyguards.
"I never thought I'd have to do
this, said Enrique Santos Castillo,
editor of the leading Bogota dail y, El
Tiempo , who now takes such precautions. "For us, this kind of pervasive
violence used to seem a part of another world, like Guatemala or El
Salvador. We had a violen t era here
over 30 years ago. But wc never
thought it would happen to us again."
Particularl y unnerving for many
are the multi ple types of violence and.
the worry that an attack could come
from varied sources.
"It's one thing when the violence is
defined ," said James Greene, an
American mineralogist working in
the emerald mining industry here.
"But when you have guerrillas , traffickers, paramilitary groups, emer.-

ald dealers, jealous husbands and
common criminals, no one is safe.
Everyone is a potential target."
For U.S. Foreign Service officers ,
Bogota is often said to be the second
most threatening post in the world
after Beirut. U.S. diplomats are targeted by cocaine traffickers and leftist guerrillas. Since 1984, when drug
barons announced they would kill
five U.S. officials for every trafficker
extradited.to the United States, diplomats have not been allowed to bring
school-age dependents.
Most of Bogota and about twothirds of Colombia are generally
judged by American security experts
to be unsafe for U.S. officials to visit.
Embassy personnel travel to and
from work in armored vans followed
by jeeps with machine gun-toting
guards.
Additional security measures are
taken for the ambassador, ranking
military officers and Drug Enforcement Agency members.
A recent article in the Foreign
Service Journal by Caroline Meirs
Osterling, a public affairs officer
here, described other precautions.
Living quarters for U.S. personnel,
she said, are spread around the city
radier than clustered to avoid making
Americans one big, easy target.
Only apartments well above street
level are considered sufficiently secure. Each Foreign Service officer

War monument has unusual history

Bloomsburg 's Soldiers* and Sailors ' Monument has an interesting and unusual history.

Features

by Glenn Schwab
Features Editor
If you live in town below Market
Street, there'sagoodchance lhatyou
pass by the war monument in Market
Square on the way to campus Even if
you've never stopped to take a good
look at the monument, its size alone
might have made you wonder why a
small town like Bloomsburg would
have such a large memorial for its
Civil War veterans.
While the monument itself is unusual, its history is even more so.
That the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Monument was built is something of
a minor miracle, considering the
strong opposition to its construction
throughout Columbia County at the
time. This opposition stemmed from
the hard feelings generated by the
military occupation of the county by
federal troops from Aug. 13, 1864 to
mid-October of die same year. The
occupation took place due to a shooting incident on the ni ght of Aug. 1,
1864 in which a Luzerne man named
Robinson was sevcrly wounded.

Hitchcock movie a thriller
by Mike Moyer
Staff Writer
Made in 1960 at a cost of $800,000,
the movie "Psycho " went on to make
$20,000,000. It also became Alfred
Hitchcock's biggest hit.
"Psycho " is an extremely manipulative film. Hitchcock plays with the
audience 's hidden fears and emotions
and makes the "terror" on the screen
happen in the audience's mind.
Throughout the film , the audience is
on the edge of their seats, always
wondering, but never guessing, what
will happen next.

The film begins with Marion Crane
(Janet Leigh) receiving $40,000 from
her boss for her to deposit in the bank.
But Marion flees with the money.
From the start, Hitchcock is being
subtl y mani pulative with the
audience's emotions towards Marion
Crane. She's not seen as a criminal ,
and this makes her eventual m urder all
the more horrifying and tragic.
After fleeing from Phoenix , Marion

becomes tired and stops at a motel for
the night, the Bates Motel . The motel
is run by a young, timid taxidermist
named Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). Next to the motel stands a large,
foreboding house where Norman and
his mother reside.
After Marion checks into die motel ,
Norman goes to fix her a light dinner.
Meanwhile, Marion overhears a
heated argument between Norman
and his mother.
Later Marion decides to take a
shower, where she is brutally murdered by Norman 's mother in one of
the most famous' scenes in motion
picture history. Although the scene is
no more than a minute in length , it
took one week to film.
Moments later, Norman discovers
Marion and disposes of her body by
placing it in the trunk of her car and
sinking the car in a swamp.
After this , an insurance investigator
arrives, trying to find the missing
Marion Crane. He's the unfortunate
victim of anoUicr murder , beautifully

staged by the Master of Suspense (an
apt and affectionate nicknam e for
Hitchcock). The man is knifed at the
top of the stairs by Mrs. Bates, and the
camera never leaves the man 's face
as he stumbles down the stairs.
Sam Loomis (Marion 's boyfriend)
and Lila Crane (Marion 's sister) arc
the next visitors to arrive at the infamous Bates Motel. In an exciting
conclusion , they discover there is no
Mrs. Bates.
Instead it is Norman , a schizophrenic who dresses up as his deceased mother and commits m urders.
Norman was driven insane several
years earlier when he found his
mother and her lover dead together in
bed.

Robinson and a squad of men had
attempted to stop several Columbia
County citizens , "not one of whom
was amenable to military law," when
the shooting occurcd. Some unknow n
person went to Harrisburg and used
the incident as the foundation for a
military raid to arrest drafted men in
Columbia County who hadn't reported for duty.
The first detachment of soldiers
that arrived on Aug. 13 made camp at
the fairgrounds, where they were reinforced over the next few days until
they numbered about 1,000 men.

During the night of Aug. 30 some
of these troops were posted at various
places in surrounding townships. At
dawn the next day they rounded up
100 supposed draft-dodgers and
brought them to a meeting house near
Benton. Forty-five of them were
forced to march the 18 miles to
Bloomsburg, from where they were
taken to Fort Mifflin to be put on trial.
After having suffered treatment
like this from their own troops, it's no
wonder county citizens were not eager to erect a monument. The first
such effort in the 1870s failed due to
lack of public interest.
When new interest arose in the late
1890s, die major obstacle was the
cost. Columbia County was not
uni que in (his respect but help came
when the Pennsylvania Legislature,
responding to lobbying from numerous veterans organizations, passed
the Soldiers ' and Sailors ' Monument
Act in 1895. This law allowed county
commisioncrs to use county funds "to
erect and maintain at the county scat

a suitable monument to the soldiers that could be an ideal site for the
monument
and sailors of the late war."
This argumentation raged for some

The last place you might expect to
find a wheelchair traveler is on a safari
in East Africa. But to Sue Soldoff ,
president of Sue's Safaris, a trip to
Africa 's game parks simply points out
how accessible much of the world has
become for many physically impaired
people looking for vacation adventure.
Once they might have had to stick
close to home, perhaps because they
needed regular medical treatment or a
trip seemed too difficult. Today, however, a growing number of tour packagers - Soldoff's firm inRanchoPalos

Their childrens' wishes sparked the
Shultz's interest and today her sons,
Wade and Chad , have radio controlled cars - and much more. The
Shultzs own Bloomsburg's only radio
control hobby store called Shultz 's
Hobby House, a business they run out
of their home at 135 West 11th St.
Radio controlled cars and trucks arc
highl y realistic scale versions of regular vehicles, from ' 57 Chevys to pickup trucks. They use battery powered
radio transmitters. A battery and a
charger complete the basic equipment. They range from the size of a
quarter to the size of a real car or truck.

Unlike model cars, radio controlled cars and trucks can be repaired
and parts can be replaced. John Shultz
says that this is the major advantage
over model cars. A model car is
worthless once a part is broken.

A customer in Shultz 's Hobby
House said he enjoys his radio controlled cars and trucks for the excitement of racing and the fun of building
them. He races in a friend' s garage
every Tuesday night.
The nearest racetrack is in Numedia. Only the largest races offer
prizes. However, participants lake the
competition very seriousl y. Another
customer added , "They are safer than
the three wheelers I used to ride."
The cars and trucks take a long time
to build. Every' part must be assembled and then pain ted. But basic
construction is only the beginning.
There is a seemingly endless amount
of additions and adornments a person
can add to their car.

Shultz's Hobby House sells a Variety of accessories, . such as snow
chains and equipment to build cars or
trucks. The average cost for a basic car
or truck and equipment is between
$150-'$300.
Since Shultz 's Hobby House is the
only radio control supply store in
town , there is a strong demand for
their wares. Radio controlled cars and
trucks have become increasingly
popular in the last three years. "It
started in California , where everything starts," said John Shultz . "They
replaced radio controlled airplanes in
popularity."
The Shultzs say there is no age limit
on the hobby and people of all ages
have visited their store. Shultz 's
Hobby House's hours are scheduled
around the-Shultz 's full-time jobs.

Cotter held the audience's attention
with original material about airplane
flights, parental and sibling difficulties, school "Marketing" and alarm

eryone can relate to, like the human

a parent 's unconscious need to embarass their children in public.

roundabout way. Although he had
thought about becoming a comedian

be heard.
-Planned for late August (actual
dates still tentative) is a 12-day motorcoach tour through ihe Canadian
Rockies from Victoria and Vancouver
in British Columbia to Lake Louise
and Banff National Park in Alberta,
ending in Calgary. The trip is designed for people with at least some
residual hearing and for their companions.
The aim of SHHH is to assist
people who have suffered a hearing
loss, from minor to profound, in later
life. As a group, they probably have
not learned sign language, nor have
their friends and relatives, and they
prefer to continue communicating
without using it.
One reason some are hesitant to
travel on their own is because they
often cannot hear change of gate announcements in airline terminals.
One of SHHH's executives, a frequent traveler, missed one such announcement a while back and ended
up in Canada instead of his planned
destination of Las Vegas.
"We're trying to get people back
into travel," says SHHH spokeswom
an Carol Lingley. For some, "it's such
a difficult , fearful thing."
As on all the organization 's tours,
the bus on the Rocky Mountain trip
will be equipped with an "audio loop
system," a device that enhances the
sound from the bus' microphone.
When passengers switch on their
hearing aids or another receiver, all
outside noise, including the roar of the
bus' engine, is eliminated.
Each tour also carries an "oral interpreter." The interpreter's duty is to
clearly repeat what any local tour
guide, such as a park ranger, is saying.
Theinterpreter's words are directed to
people who are reading lips. Accord-

ing to Lingley, it is much easier to read
the lips of someone to whom you have
become accustomed than to try to
understand an ever-changing series of
guides.
And, because concentrating on
hearing and lip-reading can be a
strain , SHHH makes an effort to provide plenty of printed material describing the sights being seen.
The cost of the Canadian tour is
$1,300 from Vancouver, which includes lodging, bus and 20 meals. Air
fare is extra. Other tours are available.
As a resource for independent travelers, SHHH is developing a computer list, called PALS, of theaters,
churches, restaurants, hotels and
other public facilities that provide
some form of assistive device.
Travelers can send SHHH a copy
of their itinerary indicating each stop.
SHHH will send back a list of hotels
and other places at each destination
that have the devices.

-Hawaii with dialysis. Patients who
rely on dialysis because of kidney
failure may require a four-to six-hour
treatment three times a week. When
they travel, tljey have to know that
dialysis is avaUable. Wonderland
Tours of Salt Lake City offers several
trips each year, including two to
Hawaii in February and April, in
which dialysis treatment has been
arranged.
In addition , it schedules more adventurous trips, such as a weeklong
white-water rafting trip through the
Grand Canyon in Arizona, carrying
portable dialysis machines. Participants undergo dialysis on a sandbar on
the Colorado River.
The firm is headed by John Warner,
who became interested in travel for
the physically impaired when he was

administrator of the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah. In 1975, he says, the
institute built a battery-powered, portable dialysis machine. As a trial, he
took a group of kidney patients on a
houseboat outing on Lake Powell in
Arizona that proved successful. So
many patients wanted repeat trips that
eventually he formed a travel agency
to assist them as well as regular
clients.
On the river trips, the group floats
for a day and spends the next day
resting and undergoing dialysis. The
raft carries seven machines for 10
patients. Five take dialysis in the
morning, five in the afternoon ,and the
other two machines are backups. A
doctor and an assistant accompany
each trip.
Unfortunately, no rafting trips currently are scheduled. Because of liability insurance concerns, Warner's
former medical support has had to
withdraw from the tour program , and

he currendy is hard at work finding a
replacement.
The two Hawaii trips, using inplace dialysis treatment facilities on
the islands, still have space available.
A two-week tour departing Feb. 20
takes in Molokai, Oahu and Kauai.
Another two-week tour, departing
April 9, spends a week each on Oahu
and Maui.
Cost for lodging and travel within
the islands is about $900 to $ 1,100 per
person depending on quality of accommodations chosen. Some meals
are included. Air fare is extra.

tion in Alaska and a houseboating
vacation in Florida.
Warner says his special dialysis
trips are popular with heart patients
and older travelers also, because they
move at a very relaxed pace and
medical aid is present or nearby. For
information: Wonderland Tours ,

-"Lung voyage." It's an inelegant
but appropriate nickname for a Caribbean cruise for people suffering from
severe breathing disorders who must
take oxygen nasally 24 hours a day.
When they travel, they have to wheel
or carry a small oxygen container with
them and be sure oxygen is readily
available at then- destination.
-For the second year, University
Hospital at the Boston University
Medical Center and the Foster Medical Corp., a commercial oxygen supplier, co-sponsored a week's cruise
from Miami aboard Royal Caribbean

In the past, Warner has taken the
portable dialysis machines, which he
says have not been reproduced commercially, on jeep camping excursions into Utah's Canyonlands National Park; a beach escape in the
Virgin Islands and a sightseeing tour
of Yellowstone National Park. He
hopes soon to use them to take dialysis
patients on a salmon-fishing expedi-

According to Packenham, the crew
of the cruise ship also makes a special

hours for participants to visit the

might delay other passengers during

Martha Watson p lays with a f u ll deck, or loses her job
By Ross Newhan

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

A four-time Olympian who retired
from competition in the early 1980s,
Martha Watson hasn 't been lost in the
shuffle.
She would lose her j ob if she were.
Now 41 and recentl y inducted into
the National Track and Field Hall of
Fame, Watson is a blackjack dealer at
Caesars Palace.
"All those years trying to make the
Olympic team were a gamble, too,"
she said, laughing. "Maybe that's why
I'm here. I've been gambling all my
life." She is here for a variety of reasons - mostly dollars and sense.
A former U.S. record-holder in the
long jump and co-holder of the world
record for 60 meters, Watson was a
little too early for today's open era of
amateur athletes earning financial
security through appearance fees and
endorsement contracts.
"There was always a lot of talk
about people slipping money into
your shoes," she said, smiling. "Well,
I left my shoes everywhere, and they
were always empty when I came back.
"It's a whole different world now.
You 're not only competing for wins,
you 're competing for contracts as
well.
"All of that negotiating requires a
lot of politics, and I always found it
hard to compete and be political at the
same time.

"I mean, I never made any money
from it, but I do have lots of memories
and friends all over the world. That's
what I was about then .
"I also think there 's a big drop between what people like Evelyn
Ashford , Carl Lewis and Edwin
Moses make and what all the others
make. I think a lot of it is exaggerated."
Once in the spotlight , she is here in
the land of the neon because times
change and life moves on.
Watson had supported herself in the
'70s by coaching at various times at
California State University, Dominguez Hills and Los Angeles Southwest and El Camino community colleges, supp lementing that comparatively meager income with part-time
jobs in the recreational field.
When Proposition 13, a California
state initiative that sevcrly cut property taxes, forcing a cutback in public
services, passed, many of her options
were eliminated. She was forced to
look elsewhere. She had a bachelor's
degree in speech pathology from
Tennessee State.
But to pursue a position in that
field , she said , would have required
her to return to college, which she said
she didn 't have time for while still in
training, her last goal being the 1980
Olympics in Moscow, which would
have been her fifth . It was while attending the first National Sports Fes-

tival in Colorado Springs , Colo., m she is now comfortable handling the

Lake Placid in awe... sort of.
The residents like to play host to
the Olympics, but they know they

villagers waited 48 years for their last
Olympics, and it can be easy to forget
how fortunate they've been.
"It's almost sad, in a way," said a
Town Hall worker who asked that her
name not be used. "We sometimes
don 't appreciate what's happened
here. We take it all for granted.
"I guess, it's because this is our
home. But I hope they have the Olympics here again. It's nice to have the
Games here."
Massive arenas and huge sports
complexes were built in Innsbruck ,
Austria; Munich, West Germany;
Montreal, and Calgary, Alberta , to
stage their Olympic Games. A hockey
rink, a luge run , and two ski ju mps

were erected for the Olympics in Lake
Placid eight years ago, only because
the original facilities were nearly 50
years old.
Everything in Lake Placid was built
for its two Olympics. The 1980 Olympic Arena was added to the 1932
Olympic Arena. Opening cermonies
at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics
were held at the wide-open horse
show grounds, adjacent to the small
village airport and not far from the
center of town. The steel frame that
supported the Olympic flame still
stands there, almost naked in its solitude, and a row of show-horse stalls
stands empty nearby.

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Just another
night in the
PSAC

Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Tonight Millersville University
visits Nelson Fieldhouse for a
simple pair of basketball games. The
women face each other at 6:00 and
the men square off at 8:00.
Just another night in the PSAC?
Not so, Virginia.
Several contributing factors go
into tonight 's bal l games that should
make for what may well be the most
electrify ing basketball doubleheader since, well, when they played
last year.
-THE HISTORY:
Millersville and Bloomsburg have
met each other 113 times. The Marauders hold a slight advantage with
61 victories to Bloomsburg's 52.
Bloomsburg's men have a lot of
scars that were inflicted by the Marauders over the years, most recently
their embarassing defeat at the hands
of MU in the PSAC Eastern Division final game. The Huskies were
dealt a crushing 14 point loss, 87-73.
But Bloomsburg 's men also had
the upper hand one cold night at
Nelson when they stunned the second ranked Marauders with a 60-55
victory.
The women will be looking to redeem themselves for their lone
PSAC loss, which came at the hands
of Millersville earlier in the season.
THE PLAYERS:
In their lone win against the Marauders last season , freshman
Johnny Williams scored a gamehigh
19 points. But the real story of the
game was the emergance of another
freshman. His name was Dave Carpenter.
Carpenter scored 10 points ,
hauled in a game high 16 rebounds
blocked five shots and had a steal.
He was 2-2 from the free throw line
and didn 't suffer one turnover.
Millersville returns a great many
of their line-up from last year's
squad including 7-1 Carlton Thacker, 6-6 Amos Clay and 6-3
Claude Hughes.
For the women, an important factor will be the return of freshman
point guard Becky Pigga, who
played her first game since her injury
against East Stroudsburg.
Head coach Joe Bressi was
pleased with her progress, "We saw
her moving and she made some good
passes. She was moving the ball
around the outside well. We got her
about 12 minutes, which is exactly
what we wanted."
Also a factor for the Huskies will
be another freshman , Nina Alston.
The quick-footed guard is taking
some of the scoring pressure off of
Theresa Lorenzi and freeing her up
for some easier shots, mostly in the
second half.
Of course the third factor will be
the leadership and scoring punch
Lorenzi can provide for this young
team.
THE STAKES:
For the men it's simple, win this
game or practically forget about the
playoffs. A loss will only give them
four in the conference, but with a
majority of the season to go. And
although Kutztown qualified with a
9-5 record a year ago. At 3-4
Bloomsburg would then have to be
in all reality out of playoff contention.
For the women, although 5-1 in
PSAC action, it is as much a must
win situation. Bressi feels strongly
that in order for them to win the
conference, they must defeat Millersville. We are going all out for
this game," he said. "They are the
only team that has beaten us and
we've had a couple days rest. We
have to play our best game of the
season. We have to beat them ."
These games looks like they will
be real bam-burners, so if you can,
get out there tonight and jo in Craig

game, listen to it on the radio, 91.1

West Virginia in EWL
by Mary Ellen Spisak
Staff Writer
Nationall y ranked Bloomsburg

decision over Pitt 's John Owens to
capture the victory for Bloomsburg.

heroics.
Bloomsburg had an easier time of it

For Bloomsburg wrestlers,
losing weight is a p art of life

by Tony Reed
for The Voice
Wrestling season is now in full
swing, and many wrestlers have begun to lose excess pounds in order to
get down to their best weight class.
But for many of these wrestlers, losing this weight requires a lot of work.
For these wrestlers, losing weight has
become a part of life.
John Supsic , a sophomore who
wrestles at 118 pounds for the Huskies, weighs between 145 and 150
pounds during the off-season. "I've
gotten accustomed to losing this
much weight. I have a method that I

Wolves defeat Huskies 86-80

For a time in the first half it looked
as though the Bloomsburg University
Huskies were going to pull away and
run away with the contest Thursday
night.
But 27 turnovers in the game by
Bloomsburg denied themselves of
even the victory as Pennsylvania
Conference Eastern Division host
Cheyney battled back for an 86-80
triumph over the Huskies.
The loss dropped the Huskies' season record to 13-7 and to 3-3 in the
East, while Cheyney improved to 117 and 4-1.

"We came out in the second half
and they really made a run at us in a
tough man-to-man defense," said BU
head coach Charlie Chronister. "A lot
of those points they got in that run
were off a bunch of steals they got."
"They did a good job of uptempoing their defense. They got a lot
more agressi ve, came out and got into
some of our passing lanes. They are
going to come out and bump you and
bump you and grab for the ball so you
hope you get some ofthecallsand sort
of slow them down a little bit and
show them they don 't have carte

blanche on you."
"I'm not blaming that as a determining factor in the game, but if a
team docs those kind of tilings and
sees they can get away with them ,
then they are going to just keep coming at you ," Chronister said.
Bloomsburg outrcbounded the
Wolves, 46-35, with Mat Wilson
leading all players with 10 while
teammate Alex Nelcha hauled in
eight. Kevin Smith and Keith Wall
each had nine for Cheyney.
The Huskies shot 30 of 64 from the
field , and Cheyney was 31 of 66. But
the 27 turnovers allowed the Wolves
back into the ball game.
The Huskies' Wilson scored seven
early points helping BU build a 24 -13
lead with 9:35 to go in the first half.
Cheyney chipped away gradually, but
the Huskies still led 30-22 with 5:59
to go in the half after a Johnny Williams steal and layup.
The
winners
outscored
Bloomsburg 13-6 to pull within one
on a basket by Keith Wall off a rebound and layup of a missed shot to
make the score 36-35 with 32 seconds
left in the half.
Then with the score tied ,

Bloomsburg 's Craig Philli ps rebounded a missed shot by Nelcha to
give the Huskies a two-point lead , 3937, going into the locker room.
But starting the second half ,
Cheyney scored 13 points while the
Huskies could only muster two baskets in the firs t 3:25 as the Wolves
built a 50-43 lead.
Bloomsburg managed to cut the
Cheyney lead to two, 52-50, on a 7-2
run , four of which were by Dave
Carpenter.
Then sparked by the play of Kevin
Smith , who scored six points, and
Clarence Green 's eight points ,
Cheyney mounted arun that built a
69-58 lead. Bloomsburg had held
Green , the conference 's leading
scorer, scoreless in the first half , but
he ended up with 15 for the game.
The closest the Huskies got after
that was six points.
Dave Carpenter, with six rebounds
to go with his 11 points, was named
the Time Markets/McDowell Oil
player of the game.
The Huskies next game will be
tonight against the Millersville University Marauders at 8:00 p.m. at Nelson Fieldhouse.

use to lose this much weight in about
a month," said Supsic.
During this time, Supsic stays away
from "junk food" and goes through
vigorous physical exercise such as
running, lifting weights and practising wrestling for two hours every
night. Supsic said, "Watching what
you eat and how much you eat is the
biggest part of losing weight."
Dave Morgan , a junior in the 150
pound weight class, also finds himself
losing a great amount of weight during the season. Morgan, who weighs
around 180 pounds in the off-season,
greatly dislikes to lose weight. ' I hate
to lose weight because I get grumpy
and tired very easily," said Morgan .
To reduce his weight, Morgan likes
to lose five or six punds the day he has
to weigh in. Morgan said, "Instead of
being mean and tired all week, I gel
my weight down to about five or six
pounds over and then lose the rest by
sweating."
According to Morgan , there are
many ways to get a "good sweat"
going. "I usually like to run with
sweat clothing on or ride an exercise
bike. Other guys like to use the suana
and jump rope a lot," said Morgan .
For some wrestlers, however,
weight loss comes very easily. Dave

Kennedy, a sophomore in the 126
pound weight class for Bloomsburg,
usually weighs 155 pounds during the
off-season. For him , losing weight is
easy. Kennedy said , "When the season starts, I get so involved in training
that the weight just comes off."
Scott Brown , a freshman in the 177
pound weight class, docs not have it
so easy. "Cutting weight for mc is like
chiseling a rock with a toothpick,"
said Brown. Brown , who usually
weighs 215 pounds before wresUing
season, dreads losing weight. Brown
said, "I love to wrestle, and 177
pounds is my best weight class, but I
hate getting there."Although the
weight loss is often unpleasant , many
wrestlers still do it.Supsic said, "In
order to do my best, I have to wrestle
at 118 pounds, even if it hurts to get
down thcre."Brown said, "It's just
like any other sport, you have to make
sacrifices in order to be good, and
losing weight is one of them ."
Now that wrestling season is in full
swing, you 're probably going to see
wrestlers looking a lot thinner. These
wrestlers set out to lose great amounts
of weight and accomplish their goals.
However, many of them dislike to
lose weight, but for them, losing
weight is just a part of life.

spent last week improving its record
to an impressive 10-3 with two important wins over Kings College and
Scranton. The Huskies were bouncing back from a crushing defeat by the
hands of Wilkes College last week as
they were trounced 10-1. The loss
dropped BU to third place in
N.E.P.H.L. standings but the victories over Kings and Scranton returned
them to second place.
On Monday the Huskies shelled
Kings 7-2 as scrappy freshman Bob
Weiss and junior forward Jim Kortnic
each scored two goals. Kings opened
the scoring with a goal resulting from
a pile up in front of the net. The pile up
allowed a Kings player to put the puck
past iced BU goalie Mike Donchez.
At the 4:28 mark BU began a scoring binge when Tim Herb lied the
score at 1-1 with an assist from Alan
Filiault. Less than one minute later
Filiault put the Huskies ahead with a
goal of his own.
When action resumed Weiss netted
his first of the ni ght and put BU up 31. With 5:57 left in the first period
Kortnic also added his first goal and
ended the period at 4-1.
The second period was hard fought
and only produced one goal for each
team. Kings opened the period
quickly with a goal and narrowed the
score to 4-2. Kortnic recorded his
second goal of the night with 4:38 left
in the period off an assist from freshman TJ. Joyner.
Going into the third period the Huskies knew it was important they score
first to keep a comfortable lead, and

and BU ran away with the match
when Joyner got a goal of his own on
a breakaway pass from Mick Petrulla.
Mike Donchez held Kings scoreless
for the third period while recording 27
saves on the night.
Tuesday night the fired up BU team
played Scranton. Led by Bob Weiss
(two goals, one assist) and Alan Filiaut (two goals, one assist), BU beat
Scranton 7-4.
The game was closer than the score
indicated and provided plenty of action and intensity . The Huskies skated
to a 2-1 lead in the first period getting
goals from Weiss at 2:16 and Jim
Kortnic at 12:07.
But 14 seconds into the second
period Scranton tied the score on a
power play goal and then took the lead
3-2 just seconds later. BU responded
with three unanswered goals starling
with Weiss' second of the ni ght at
8:45 which tied the game.
One minute later T.J. Joyner scored
put the Huskies ahead. Then, with
only two seconds remaining, Filiault
gave BU some breathing room when
he tallied his first goal of the night.
Scranton scored again at 4:45 to
bring themselves within one goal of
BU, but Petrulla widened the margin
with a power play assist from Joyner.
Filiault nailed the door shut on Scranton with his second goal to close out
the scoring. Donchez turned away 18
of 22 shots on goal.
