Frats offe r party alternative

by Jeff Smith
for The Voice
Because of recent Pennsylvania
State Police raids on Bloomsburg
University fraternity houses, two fraternities will host non-alcoholic partics this weekend.
Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), an
international fraternity, will host a
free dance party at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb.
19 at 618 E. Fourth St. The campus
radio station , WBUQ 91.1 FM, will
broadcast from the site.
TKE President Mark Beudoin said,
"Wc are taking positive steps to adapt
to the strict enforcement of the laws
pertaining to alcohol."
Lambda Chi Alpha (LXA), also an
international fraternity, will host a
similar party featuring the band TropX at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 at 980
Main St.
LXA Social Chairman Todd
Kitchen said, "Everyone is invited to
come down - admission is one dollar."
He added that the party would prove
people can have a good time without
alcohol.
Two university administrators who

work closely with the Greek organizations on campus approve of these
parties and think they are a step in the
right direction. "I am really pleased
with this decision," said Dr. Jerrold
Grifiis, vice president for Student
Life. "These fraternities have responded to the situation, and I would
encourage other groups to follow this
lead and take a new look at this idea
(non-alcoholic party)."
Robert Norton , assistant vice president and dean of Student Life, said, "I
appreciate the initiative they (TKE
and LXA) have taken in addressing
the problem of alcohol abuse and
underage drinking on our campus."
He added that he hopes other organizations consider the idea.
LXA President Mike Bryan believes the strict enforcement of drinking laws by state police recently has
made an impression on his fraternity .
"The law has become a reality to us,
and by having this party, we want to
convey to the campus that you don 't
need alcohol at a social function."
On campus, skeptical students believe that non-alcoholic parties will

Future CGA officers
consider BU issues

by Kelly Cuthbert
f o r The Voice
Newly elected Community Government Association officers are already considering major issues such
as fall break, condoms and parking.
CGA President-elect Dave Gerlach, who will oversee all actions and
decisions concerning these issues,
said that CGA is considering an October four-day weekend, but is concerned about affecting the Scranton
Commons' schedule.
Gerlach said CGA is gathering information about condoms and gauging the reactions of universities that
sell condoms. "CGA is looking for the
best plan of action," he said.
Discussing university parking policies, Gerlach said he wants to secure
daytime parking for students on Second, Third, and Fourth Streets, which
are usually crowded with commuter
and town resident cars.
Concerning BU's alcohol policy,
he said, "The administration is not
against students, but trying to help
students protect themselves."
Citing the Beta Sigma Delta and
recent Lambda Chi Alpha raids, he
said students must be made aware of
current Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board infiltration tactics at parties
and be more responsible.' "The administration is trying to make us
aware of the law - and they stand by

that law, not serving to minors," he
said.
Gerlach added , "I'm going to try to
do the best job possible - it's something I'm ready to take on. I'm looking forward to it."
Vice president-elect Ray Matty
said, "I want to give 110 percent to
back up the president and to make
campus better." Regarding the major
issues he said, "A lot of things are up
in the air - in the discussion stages and nothing is concrete."
Concrete finances will be the job of
Jim Shevlin as treasurer. According
to Shevlin, his main concern will be to
stick to the budget and allocate funds ,
and he will be in charge of the Finance, Budget, and Investment Committees.
He also wants to inform students
about the uses of their $50 Community Activities fee.
Corresponding Secretary-elect
Kathy Adams will correspond with
other schools, keeping up with news
and ideas to report to CGA.
Recording Secretary-elect Anne
O'Brien will keep the CGA. minutes.
Concerned about "working together
as a team," she also wants students to
become more involved with the organizauon.
She stated that all CGA officers are
equal when discussing an issue, regardless of position .

Report Indicates college alcohol problems

by Albert Stuart
Slippery Rock Rocket Editor %
Slippery Rock Borough's police
chief offered suggestions for tightening alcohol code enforcement, declaring that Slippery Rock University
hasn 't made a dentin its alcohol problems.
Police Chief Larry Thompson told
a state House of Representatives select committee on alcohol abuse in
Pennsylvania's colleges and universities that alcohol abuse among college students is a great problem if
Slippery Rock is an example of other
university towns.
"I have been police chief in Slippery Rock for the past six years. As I
reviewed the testimony given to this
committee by the mayor of Millersville (site of Millersville University), it again made me aware that the
problems we deal with on a constant
basis in Slippery Rock are not unique
to our community," Thompson's pretestimony written report said.
Use and abuse of alcohol in Slippery Rock is severe enough to cause
enforcement overflow problems for
Slippery Rock's five-officer department. Complaints of alcohol-related
thefts, vandalism and disorderly con-

duct are not uncommon, the report
stated.
Of a total 531 arrests made in 1987
by the borough police, 288 were university students, mostiy for alcoholrelated offenses , figures provided by
Thompson show. .
Of the 222 alcohol-related arrests,
198 were made for underage drinking, 11 for providing alcohol to minors, and two each for public drunkenness and misrepresentation of age
to purchase alcohol.
"This type of (drunken) activity is
more than enough to keep five officers busy; so busy in fact, that on a
good night or weekend the officer on
duty has to put calls on a waiting list
and respond to them when he can get
to them," the report said.
"The weekly parties that generate
these calls to the police usually hinge
on complaints of loud intoxicated
students, empty plastic cups, theft and
vandalism," Thompson said in his
report
The situation won 't improve until
magistrates start imposing the state's
maximum penalties for underage
drinking of $300 and 90 days in jail.
Instead, Thompson said magistrates generally impose "trivial" fines

of $50 and $49 in court costs.
These low fines are easily paid by
students who ask parents for extra
money to pay for unexpected expenses, who have more parties, or
resort to theft , Thompson said.
"Anybody (magistrates) with the
idea that 'these are just poor college
students having a good time,' is not
helping," the report said.
Thompson said the judicial system
and university are responsible for
enforcement problems.
Students' alcohol problems are not
helped when the university, which
won't act against students who misbehave off campus, is viewed as a
place of sanctuary, Thompson said.
University President Robert
Aebersold, who disagrees with Thompson, said, "We have in the past,
and will continue in the future, to act
against students who cause problems
or break the law.
"But, for us to act, there must be
some tie-in with the university's policies," Aebersold said.
The university must know where it
has authority to act, and in what situations, Aebersold said referring to the
university 's 1987 decision to pull
recognition from the Tau Kappa Epsi-

Businesses not affected by mall

by Ted Sarnoski
for The Voice
A number of new businesses have opened recently in
Bloomsburg, regardless of the new mall project under
construction outside of town.
Builders have been actively recruiting businesses for
the mall project, according to many town merchants.
Bruce Musser, of The Record and Jeanswear Co. located on Main Street for 12 years, chose not to move to the
mall. "The Record and Jeanswear Co. gears its merchandise toward the college-age individual," says Musser.
"A woman of 18 can comein and find eight to 10 items,
whereas a woman of 40 could maybe find one or two
things," he added.
Mary Ellen Zeisloft , owner of the Menagerielocated at
16 W. Main St., also believed the town businesses meet
the college students' needs. Zeisloft said she moved to
Bloomsburg from a larger area, and attended BU briefly
when she decided to open a store.
On campus, she heard many women comment that
there were few places for them to shop in town. "The mall
should not affect my business. After all , the college
woman is my major aim.
"This is a nice town and a wonderful place to raise
children, and I think it will succeed," Zeisloft added.
When school is not in session, Zeisloft does admit her
business is slower.
Bob and Marge Griffin, owners of Good as Gold said,
"We have felt that the town needed a mall for some time,
and it will increase traffic through the town."
The decision to move across the street from their
previous location rather than to the mall was prompted by
several factors, said the Griffins.
We could not sell gold at these prices if we had the
overhead we would have at the mall. A lot of our business
is word-of-mouth - not advertisement - and that would
change if we moved far ," they said.
Buy the Book Manager Nancy Coughlin said the primary target of the store was the younger college student
and not the average card buyer.
"Do a j ob right, offer people what they want, and no
mall is going to affect your business' that much," said
Coughlin.
Buy the Book offers mall hours which Coughlin hopes
will attract people to the store instead of the" mall.
Bill Mandell plans on relocating his store, All Sports,

lon fraternity because of alcohol-related problems. *
Behavioral problems exist among
students who have had too much to
drink, but Thompson overgeneralized the problem 's severity, Aebersold said.
Thompson said the university may
foster the problem through student
leaders' actions during student activities and orientations. "Are the student
alcohol problems strictly off campus?
I have my doubts.... After our 1986
presentation (at freshmen orientation), the upperclassmen performed a
skit for the freshmen, showing them
how to attend a private party.
"This skit included a great display
of:
•props, including stolen milk crates
as furniture, and a beer keg;
•students paying, or "bucking-up"
at the door to gain admission;
•no mention that this type of activity was illegal or not condoned - rather
that it was a way to have fun at Slippery Rock," the report stated.
Although Aebersold said the skit
had taken place, he added that such
activities would not be repeated.
"It (the skit) was an isolated incident," Aebersold said.

to the old Lee Pats location rather than moving to the mall.
"How many good sporting-goods stores do you find with
my selection in malls?" asked Mandell.
Mandell plans to remain at his new town location although it is farther from campus. "My best customers are
faculty and staff. They have more money to spend on this
type of stuff," said Mandell.

At Large
Politics enter doctor offices
by Ellen Goodman
Having spent the past seven years
in an epic struggle to batter their
way into the American bedroom,
the Reagan troops have finally decided to try a different militan t
approach. The administration is
aiming now for the doctor 's office.
Having spent the same years
unsuccessfull y attacking the right to
privacy, they have shifted strategies
there as well. They arc now trying to
roll right over the right to speech.
In its latest move, the administration is attempting lo regulate what it
has been unable to legislate: a ban
on talking, perhaps even thinking,
about abortion. They have ruled that
the 4,000 famil y-planning clinics
that serve 4.5 million women will
lose their federal funding if they so
much as tell a patient about the option to have an abortion and where
she might get that abortion .
These regulations , written to go
into effect March 3, mean that even
if a woman asks about abortion , her
doctor can 't answer. Faced with a
pregnant woman - even a seriously
ill woman , even a woman with
AIDS - doctors , nurses, counselors
can only speak about abortion to
condemn it.
"I consider this a profound and
troublesome intrusion ," says Dr.
Jack Graham of the American ColIccc of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

He is echoing the sentiments of many of
his medical colleagues who never
thought they'd have to reserve a chair
for the government in their office.
Struggling for an analogy, he adds,
"It is as if a patient came in with an ulcer
and we were onl y allowed to tell him
about one treatment." The new rules
arc, he believes, not only an infringement of free speech.They arc a mandate
for malpractice and a violation of informed-consent laws. "How can a
woman, give informed consent to her
treatment without getting information?"
On these grounds and others, the
"Reagan Regs" are now being foug ht in
ferdcral district courts. Last week the
sites were Boston and Denver. This
week it's New York.
At least one of these courts is expected to acknowledge that the regulations violate the intent of Congress
when it funded the clinics under Title X.
In voting money, as Rep. Bill Green (RN.Y.) has said, they did so on the
grounds of "requiring clinics to inform
women of all their options." An injunction by any of these courts would stop
the rules going into effect until the case
is heard in a higher court.
But whatever neat legal language is
laid over this subject, it doesn't take a
field commander to notice that the
administration has turned to guerrilla
tactics.
The Reagan right hasn 't had a

straighUbrward victory against abortion. The pro-life constituency hasn 't
won a constitutional amendment or a
ban. As a movement , their goals have
changed from trying to make abortion
illegal to try ing to make it impossible.
This move is part of that strategy.
The only legislative wins have
come when Congress decided to appease right-to-lifcrs by yielding up
the poor or the Third World. One of
the ironies of life current battle is thai
the famil y-planning clinics under attack by the "Reagan Regs" are already forbidden to perform abortions.
Whal they offer is birth control to
poor women.
I am afraid that the poor have
proved to be an easy target , especially
for an administration in need of an
easy hit. In a bizarre escalation of
hostilities , the government now
threatens these clinics: Say the word
"abortion" and wc will take away the
money you arc using to help prevent
the unwanted pregnancies.
I doubt very much that the rules will
survive the court tests. If they do , the
government could write the script for
every patient consultation.
But it's worth noting how this protracted battle has moved. In the eighth
year of the Reagan administration, the
attack on the right to choose freely has
expanded - without a single extra
regiment - into a full-fledged attackon the right to speak freely.

variety of experiences. They give
students vital job-related experience,
critical thinking skills, crisis communiation skills, social and business
contacts, or leadership and communication skills.
Employcers look for people who
took the initiative and involved themselves in meaningful and contributing
groups on campus. These people often are more innovative and have
experienced crises and dilemas that
taught them to think in critical ways.
Some organizations offer social
and business contacts which may
prove to be invaluable in the future.
These contacts know your experience
and may offer you employment posi-

tions or recomendations which may
help you procure a position with a
desired firm. Other benefits are
friendship and companionship, since
people usually enjoy spending time
with people who have the same interests as themselves.
Still other organizations offer the
most important asset, they give their
members essential, practical experience that they will carry over into the
job market.
These people will have made important value judgments in their college career, judgements which will
help them deal with on the job pressures.

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Neil Kinnock , the British Labour
leader, was in talks with the British
Foreign Office Tuesday night from
Jordan about his visit to the West
Bank Wednesday in an effort to avoid
trouble.
Kinnock , with the help of British
diplomats here, was receiving reports
from Jerusalem about the latest state
of unrest in the occupied territories
which he will be visiting over the next
two days.
Despite being determined to get a
clear picture of conditions and grievances in the territories, Kinnock has
said he wants to be careful not to be
deliberatel y provocative or to allow
his visit to become the centre of violent demonstrations.
He was preparing to cross the Jordan Tuesday night after having had an
emotional introduction to the refugee
problem just outside Amman .
He visited the Beqaa camp, where
about 80,000 Palestinians live as
some of them have done since the
immediate aftermath of the 1967 war
with Israel.
The camp is stable, much of it now
consisting of concrete shelters, and
Kinnock saw reasonably well developed health and education facilities
during his visit, which lasted about an
hour.
But he was moved by the condition
of some of the inhabitants.
One woman described to him
through an interpreter how she and 13
other people shared a concrete room
no more than 14 feet square.
He stood with her in the room as she
spoke of her wish to return to the home
which she left after (lie 1967 war.
When she told him that her four
daughters, two sons and seven others
shared the room , Kinnock's jaw set
rigid in horror and he paled.
Standing in a muddy street outside
in pouring rain surrounded by camp
families,he said, "Unless and unti l the
problems of the West Bank and Gaza
are solved it can only get worse-more
and more people will be living like
this. The woman I spoke to came from
Hebron 21 years ago. She is only 35
years old and yet she looks like 50."
One worker in the camp had told
him , "Her hair has gone grey early
because of all the circumstances she
has gone through.
Kinnock did have happy encounters with children in some of the
schools inside the camp, where he
exchanged greetings with one English-language class of 15-year-old
girls, many of them born in the camp.
He said he had not been too dismayed by what he had seen because
he had known the conditions would be
similar to those in refugee camps all
over the world.
But he said: "Our resolve must beto
enable these people to go back to their
homeland because that is what they
want to do."
Earlier, Kinnock had lunch with
Crown Prince Hassan in the absence
of King Hussein, and talks with the
Jordanian Foreign Minister, who
gave him full details of the state of the
latest American peace plan in which
Jordan is playing a pivotal role on the
Arab side.
He was not prepared to reveal details of what he had learned but it was
clear afterwards that he had been
given much more cause for optimism
about coming developments than he
had previously.
In particular, he was told that Jordan attached great significance to a
recent visit leaders of the American
Jewish community in which they had
appeared to take a much more conciliatory line on the future of the occupied
territories, stressing the need for
Israel's security rather than for the
need for continued occupation.
Kinnock said he wanted to do everything he could to help promote the
American initiative, which he will be
discussing with Israeli ministers and
officials in the next two days.
The Crown Prince, in a briefing for
reporters accompany Kinnock said
that outside support for peace efforts
was vitally important.
The unrest in the occupied territories could hold the key since it was
convincing the outside world of the
need for quick progress.

Mixer eases tension

by Cindy Hurst
f o r The Voice
Theinteraction of people from different cultures, groups and ethnic backgrounds was the purpose of "Bridging the Gap," a mixer sponsored by the
Black Cultural Society and the Sociology and Social Welfare Club last
evening in the Presidents' Lounge.
According to Najma Adam , president of the Sociology and Social Welfare
Club, the mixer provided an opportunity to relieve some of the racial tension
that exists and help students become more sensitive to the differences between
various cultures. "At least when we see these people on campus, we can say,
'hey, how are you?'" said Adam.
Joshua "Tex" Lee, president of the Black Cultural Society, said the mixer
gave students a unique opportunity to deepen their appreciation of diverse
heritages and backgrounds through exposure and interaction with people from
different cultures.
"As students at the university become more educated , tolerant, and appreciative of distinct cultures , our healthy attitudes will hopefully ripple out into
the community," Lee remarked.
The evening began with a time for all members to get to know each other
through mixing, introductions, and an ice breaker. A Bill Cosby film , entided
Black History - Lost, Stolen or Strayed? was then shown, followed by smallgroup discussions. Students talked about the popular misconceptions about
black and white people.
Adam and Lee closed the evening with an invitation to the entire group to
respond to the question , "What can we (blacks and whites) do to destroy the
discrimination and prejudice which exists between black and white people on
campus?"
The mixer benefited members of both clubs. Although involving only a
small percentage of the students on campus, the insights gained through events
such as these prove instrumental in continuing the batde against racism on this
campus, in the community, and throughout the entire country.
Theevening was summed up to be a time for studen ts toreach,out to students
in order to understand each other's cultures and start bridging the gap.

Students interested in participating in the annual phonathon ,
held March through April , should
contact the Developmen t Office
at 389-4213 to sign up.
A short training session will be
provided. •

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Secretary of State George P. Shultz
assured Israel Tuesday that the United
States is not trying to stake out a
specific position before any Middle
East peace talks on the fate of the
occupied territories.
Shultz told reporters that efforts to
start new talks had become "somewhat sterile" and that the United
States was trying to develop a "new
blend of ideas" for resolving the conflict.
"We're not trying to stake out positions of one kind or another," Shultz
said. 'The historic U.N. Resolution is
242, and exacdy how that will shape
itself in a discussion, a real negotiation, remains to be seen. The thing is
to get going at it"
Resolution 242 calls for Israeli
withdrawal from the occupied territories and Arab recognition of the right
of all nations in the region to live in
peace and security.
Shultz was in Florida to brief the
AFL-CIO executive council on the
In termediate-Range Nuclear Forces
(INF) Treaty before the Senate.
Shortly after his appearance, the
council approved a resolution urging
Senate approval of the treaty.
The council warned, however, that
the United States must continue to
maintain "a credible deterrence
against a Warsaw Pact attack on
Western Europe." It said this would
require a restructuring of U.S. strategic nuclear forces.
At a news conference later, Shultz
was asked to respond to a warning
from Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir that Shamir would not accept
President Reagan's "territory-forpeace"principle as the basis for entering new negotiations on the West
Bank and Gaza Strip.
The United States has proposed an
approach that would begin with ArabIsraeli talks on limited autonomy for
the occupied territories, then negotiations on the final status of the territories within six months based on the
"territory-for-peace" principle outlined by Reagan in 1982.
Last week, Shamir sent an envoy to

outline to Shultz Israel's objection to
the approach. The envoy met Sunday
with a top Shultz aide in Washington.
Shultz said Tuesday that the United
States has been involved in intensive
discussions with all of the governments involved in the Middle East He
described discussions with Israel as "a
tremendous and rich back-and-forth"
and added that he was not surprised by
Shamir's opposition .
Shultz said theparties to the process
should stop getting bogged down in
the debate over how to negotiate and
begin looking at the substance of the
negotiations.
"We have seen a great deal of
discussion...in terms of process, direct negotiations on one hand, an international conference or some other
kind of international vehicle on the
other," Shultz said. "It has, I think,
become somewhat sterile."
As a result, he said, "if we're going
to get going, we need to talk a little
more about...substance in terms of

things th at could be done relatively
quickly that could make a positive
change in conditions of life on the
West Bank and Gaza."
Later Tuesday, the AFL-CIO condemned Israel's "use of excessive
force"against Palestinian civilians on
the Israeli-occupied West Bank and
Gaza Strip, Its first-ever rebuke of
Israel, according to federation
spokesman Rex Hardesty. "They
haven 't crushed children 's hands before," he said.
On another subject, Shultz defended the right of U.S. ships to sail in
the Black Sea. Asked about the incident last week when two Soviet naval
ships rammed U.S. Navy vessels sailing within 12 miles of the Soviet
coast, Shultz said, "It's not an effort to
be provocative in any way."
He said the U.S. warships were
simply asserting rights of innocent
passage as part of a continuing process worldwide to make sure that U.S.
naval ships maintain maritime rights.

Baseball team heads
to Florida over break

by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor
The Bloomsburg baseball team
members arc unlike many college
students going south for Spring
Break. Althoug h they will be traveling to the Sunshine state, instead of
lying in the sun all day, they will be
doing what they do best - playing
baseball.
Because of the dedication of BU
baseball coach John Babb and the hard
work of his players , the team will be in
Cocoa, Florida from March 5-12.
In ordtr to partici pate in the Cocoa
Expose , BU' s baseball team needed to
raise 510,000 dollars , "Which ," said
Coach Babb , "is more than our budget
for the entire year."Most of the budget
goes towards transportation , meal
money for away games, and ump ires
needed for the 47 games the team
plays in a season.
So, to finance the trip to Florida , the
team planned a marathon game and
held a baseball clinic. At the clinic ,
children from the ages 7-12 learned
baseball skills from BU team members. The cost of die clinic'was S35
dollars for two days and S20 for one
day.
At the Cocoa Expose , the Huskies
will play a double header each day,
competing against Boston College ,
Kenc College , Lewis University, Indiana University of Pennsy lvania ,
Sli ppery Rock , Kalamazoo College,
and Clark University .
Two years ago the team went to
Sanford , Florida , and left with a
record of 3-3. Last year the team did
not go to Florida. Instead , the money
raised was spent on improving
Litwhilcr Field. "For the most part ,"
said Babb , "the improvement of
Litwhilcr Field has been a baseball
projec t and not a university project."
Improvements made have included
an electronic scoreboard , a new fence,
and an equipment shed. The money

came from fund raisers, Husky Club
members, and Bill Hess, a friend to
Babb and the Husky baseball team.
The Florida trip will help prepare
the team for there 88' season. Sophmore team member Kurt Gairing
said, "We're going South because it 's
warm and we can outdoor practices.
And that 's what you need lo be good. "
Gairing also remarked that , "The
only teams to travel this far are th?.
baseball team and the Womcns ' Lacrosse team. There going the same
time we are."
After return ing from Florida , the
team will beg in their daily practices.
The Husk y baseball season begins on
Friday, March 18, with a game against
Susquehanna University at home.
Babb looks forward to the trip and a
successful season. Of his team , Babb
said , "Bloomsburg University has no
scholarship athletes in the baseball
program . All of our team personnel
put forth their efforts purel y because
they love the sport. "

Frank Zappa irresistable after two decade s
by Frank Rizzo

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Call him irrepressible. More than
two decades after starting the Mothers
of Invention , Frank Zappa still is creating his distinct bran d of non-conformist music, as well as being the
gadfly of the music business. Whether
he 's tackling the Parents Music Resource Center's efforts to rate rock
record s or warning the public against
the dangers of less-than-holy television evangelists, Zappa never has
been one to worry that his opinions
will affect his career. His career always has rolled along on an independent path .
At 47, Zappa also is having a great
musical year. His world tour wilh his

"I think I said that before corporate

say the fundamental drive to make
music still exists in people, but those
people don 't necessarily get record
contracts. People still do original
things. They just don 't get signed (to
the major labels). The people who do
get signed are the ones with the best
hairdo.
"It is not hard to do something
original because the imagination is
self-replenishing, and in America
there isplenty of stuff to write about,"
Zappa says . "But the basic problem
of new music is a marketing problem
because the distribution chain is
controlled by the major record companies, and they have a very narrow
view of what should be sent out to the
public.
A lot of it has to do with the problem of format radio, and formatradio
is faced with the problems of the
FCC, which is a direct tool of the
Reagan administration , and we know
how creative they are."
Still, plenty of artists are doing the
music they want and putting it on

vinyl on their own . That 's how Zappa
began in the '60s, and that's pretty
much how he still operates. It 's an
independent philosophy that he carries with him on tour.
"It occurred to me that there is a
trend in pop music away f rom real
guys doing real stuff ," hesays. "Some
of the biggest groups are now going
out and virtually li p-syncing their
hits." Not Zappa, who is always experimenting with musical form and
concert format.
For this tour, Zappa will be back
playing guitar. It also will be his first
tour with the synclavier , a computerized keyboard that can store and play
an unlimited variety of sounds.

"The one thing I felt was missing
from pop music was a strong harmonic base," Zappa says. "Most
songs have a melod y line, a beat and a
bass line, with just a dab of chorus in
the background.
It 's been one of my pet theories in
music that the human ear wants to
hear harmony, that it likes notes

Floodland proves a
mercifu l release from
mediocre music

by Dave Garton
Staff Writer
Dark, deep, and moody. Thes<
words describe many things, but none
so well as the new album from The
Sisters Of Mercy, Floodland.
Floodland is the second album by
The Sisters Of Mercy, and the first
since their breakup in late 1985. Their
debut album, First And Last And Always, was released in early 1985.
Three bands rose from the wreckage of The Sisters Of Mercy: Ghost
Dance, with Gary Marx; The Mission
U.K., with Wayne Hussey and Craig
Adams; and The Sisterhood, with
Andrew Eldritch. All three have continued to work on singles and albums,
but Eldritch recently reclaimed the
band's original name, despite the fact
that he is the only original member in
its current incarnation.
The present lineup of The Sisters Of
Mercy includes former Gun Club
bassist Patricia Morrison and drum
machine Doktor Avalanche.
All of the eight songs on Floodland
are meticulously crafted and developed. Standouts include "Lucretia ,"
"Dominion ," and "This Corrosion."
"This Corrosion" is also the first
single from the album, and currendy
holds the #2 position on the U.S.
dance charts, according to Rolling
Stone.
Eldritch has always been like a
dark, sinister side of David Bowie,
and he continues to play this role.
Eldritch writes songs that are full of
vibrant images and tangible emotions. The music behind his lyrics is
powerful without being overwhelmingly obvious, like the tides of the
ocean.
Floodland may be one of the best
albums of 1988, but it isn't without its
flaws. To begin with, the version of
"This Corrosion" on Floodland is
over 10 minutes long, whereas the
single version is just over eight minutes. The extra two minutes could be
more wisely used elsewhere on the
album. "Never Land," for instance,
isn't really developed into a fulllength song, and would benefit from

ated by) the horn section."
And who is the typical Zappa fan
these days? "The people coming to
the shows are not of the age bracket of
people from the '60s," he says."It's a
lot younger crowd, and I think a lot of
them are coming for the first time. In
fact, I would say it was 50-50. The
ones who like it like it a lot and can't
get enough of it."

by Juliana McCormack
for The Voice
"Can you type my paper?" Phil
asks. Amy nods her head reluctantly.
Amy is an excellent typ ist, 75 words a
minute . Phil is a poor typist, 20 words
a minute.
If you arc a novice like Phil , here
are a few tips that will help you gain
cofidence in typ ing.
The most important thing is to identif y the typewriter. According to
Webster 's Colleg iate Dictionary, a
typewriter is "a machine for writing
letters and characters like those produced bv a printing type."
A more accurate description might
be: "a mixed up bunch of letters that
cause untold stress in novices who
attempt to manipulate this device."
Once you know what the typewriter
is, stare at it. Be confident. It docs not
bite. Unless, of course, you get your
fingers stuck between the keys. A
word of warning: do not stick your
fingers in the area where the keys hit
the paper . It is a danger zone.
When you arc ready to type, you
must now determine which method to
use. "Hunt and peck" is the most
common among novices. This method
involves seeking out that elusive letter
and then striking it with one finger.
Remember , novice typists arc perfectionists . They lake their time in
order to ensure accuracy. People who
type at seventy-five words tend to be
showoffs.
A variation of the hunt and peck"
method is to use a pencil instead of a
finger. This tends to preserve fingernails.

Zappa says he has a hard-core
group of fans, especially on the East
Coast , that amazes even him.
"There's one guy, we call him 'Mr.
Regular,' who follows us from concert to concert on his motorcycle. We
see him at sound checks and he gives
us suggestions for songs he'd like to
hear.
And if it 's in our repertoire, we

annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science.
Using new imaging technology to
peer into the brain while a person is
thinking, researchers have found that
there is hot thinking and cold thinking-thekind that uses up lots of energy
and the kind that does not.
It appears that when taking intelligence tests, those scoring high are also
those who put the least energy into
their cerebrations. Those burning up
their brain circuits, by contrast, do
poorly on tests. Thus, efficiency may
be a major part of sharp thinking, at
least on intelli gence tests.
Richard J. Haier from the University of California at Irvine measured
the levels of energy use in the brain by
feeding 17 people sugar labeled with
slight radioactivity, just enough to be
detected by the brai n scanner, called a
positron emission tomographcr (PET)
scanner .
When the brain cells are working on

a problem, tl»ey use sugar for energy.
The more active the brain, the more
sugar will be absorbed and used, Haier
reported to AAAS , whose live-day
annual meeting in Boston ends today.
The PET scan can spot minute
amounts of the radioactively labeled
glucose taken up by cells hours later.

Haier gave eight of 17 people the
"Ravens" test of abstract reasoning,
which required them to look at complex geometrical figures and find one
that would logically complete a series.
Those who scored well showed little
glucose uptake, and those who did
poorly showed far more energy use.
In the extreme , a person showing
great activity in the brain achieved a
score one-third of that ^gained by
someone whose scan showed little
effort was expended.
In a control group of nine people
who were paying attention to flashing
visual images, there was no significant difference in glucose use.

the extra time.
Another problem with Floodland i:
its substitution of keyboard fills fo
guitar melodies. The records originally produced by The Sisters Of
Mercy (before their breakup) featured
excellent guitar lines from both Gary
Marx and Wayne Hussey. Now gone,
their absence is blatandy obvious to
those familiar with the old material.
Despite its shortcomings, Floodland is still a strong album. With a
major dance hit and an ever-increasing audience, The Sisters Of Mercy
could become one of the next crossover bands from college to commercial radio.
Immerse yourself in Floodland.
Chances are you'll feel a merciful
release from the music you normally
hear. Request it on 91.1 FM, WBUQ.

Dextrous
exp lains errors
in computers

by Jon Goodman
for The Voice
Unexplained phenomenon can now
be explained by the dextrous-rombous theory. Consequently, a theory
explaining the unexplained makes the
unexplained explained.
Any field of study in which there are
numerous unexplained occurences is
an easy target for the dextrous-rombous theory. The field of computers is
no exception to this idea.
Between unexplained quips,
beeps, and syntax errors to the unimaginable labryinth of computer a
person could easily believe that computers launched the dextrous rombous
theory.
So if one day you find yourself
mixed up in a ball of computer tape
and the program you 've worked on for
a week mysteriously vanishes from
your computer screen for no apparent
reason, just remember you are not
alone. The dextrous-rombous theory
is again explainedby the unexplained.

Missouri forward can be a little mis-Chievous

by Robyn Norwood

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Derrick Chievous, Missouri's AllAmerican forward , has long faced
what would be a dilemma. He aspires
to be a radio-television "reporter, but
he often refuses to give interviews.
This season, he has been in particular demand, in part because he has
struggled.Missouri Coach Norm Stewart has even benched him occasionally, holding him out of one game and
not starting him in four others.
Lately, Chievous has played his
best basketball of the season. In the
last six games, he has averaged 28.3
points, including 26 in a 81-79 upset
of Nevada Las Vegas Saturday.
Before the Las Vegas game,
Chievous - who often tends toward
outrageousness - was in a mood to
talk. The two main topics: How much
he sometimes dislikes talking to reporters and the segment he does on
Stewart 's coach's show.
"A person can only go so far," he

says, in discussing questioning techniques. "On my show, I usually try to
get on the players and ask them, 'Hey,
I know you have a lot of girls out
there.' But irritate someone, then I back off.
(Reporters) didn 't do that. They had to
have their answers."
To explain how he feels reporters
question him , Chievous goes to a
mock announcer's voice.
" 'Why aren't you playing the way
you 're capable of playing? Do you
think you're in a slump? Do you think
you're playing with any intensity? Do
you feel like you're playing hard? '
They keep probing, keep pursuing,
nagging, itching and irritating.",
As for his own performance on the
segment Stewart allows him to do on
the show, Chievous says, "I'm like Al
McGuire - no, Roy Firestone."
Is he really any good?
"He's improving," Stewart said,
after a long pause, when asked about
the segment's quality.

Said Chievous: "I boost the ratings
unbelievably."
Said Stewart: "I've made him a star
in basketball, and now I'm making
him a star in TV."
The relationship between Stewart
and Chievous has been tense at times
this season, according to some close to
the team.
For Chievous, there have been a lot
of tense situations in response to his
difficulties . One came to light when
an anonymous caller woke him in the
middle of the night to ask him if he was
on drugs. Chievous angrily answered
such accusations, telling the Associated Press: "I could pass as many drug
tests as they wanted lo g ive, all day ,
with ilying colors. They wouldn 'tfind
anything in this body. I guess when
you don 't perform the way you are
supposed to, they think you 're doing
drugs."
As for the relationship with Stewart, Chievous says publicly that he
didn 't get upset when he was benched.

Stewart says that doesn 't concern

"I put my hand out and when he

"I don 't air my linen ," Massimino
said. "I tried to shake Mr. Evan s' hand
the last time and he went the other

went to shake his hand and he dropped
it. He called me a very serious and
dirty name. Luckily, at my age, I
walked away." Massimino said that a
formal protest to the league office
would be forthcoming.
Meanwhile, Villanova fans have
picked up the same ugl y tactics Pitt
fans use to taunt Wildcat junior Doug
West, who accused a Pitt booster of
offering him a 510,000 bribe.
Villanova 's new target is Pitt freshman Bobby Martin , who had given an
oral commitment to Villanova before
changing his mind last winter.
Wildcat fans waved car keys at
Martin and one hung a huge fake
check made out to Martin for 550,000
and signed by Evans.
Of the whole atmosphere, Martin
said, "Most teams respect each other ,
(but) the two coaches have a sick
feeling in each other 's stomach. I
know college basketball is a money
game .but it's akids'game and they 're
ruining it for the kids. "

looking like nationally televised disciplinary problems.
League scoring leader Dana Barros
has increased his three-point shooting
streak to 31 straight games with four
shots Monday night - that 's eight
games better than fellow Bostonian
Danny Ainge's streak, which was
stopped at an NBA record 23 games.
"I really don't look at the line anymore," Barros said. "As (the streak)
goes on and on , people pump me up
and it 'll start affecting me. I hope it
won't during games. Hopefully, I can
put one in early and blow it out of my
mind." Four times, he's cut it close
with only one three-pointer in a game.
Barros isn 't the DiMaggio of college hoops yet. In fact, he's second to
Purdue's Troy Lewis - 39 strai ght - for
the longest current college streak , and
as far as anyone knows (the NCAA
doesn't keep track), the longest college string of three-point baskets.

Coaches setting bad example

by Sandy Keenan

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

It 's tiresome to repeatedly deal with
the immaturity of coaches, but sometimes it 's important to remember just
what the players must put up with
from Oct. 15 to March madness.
Take Saturday night in Philadelphia after Pittsburgh beat Villanova
by 12 points for the second time this
season. Again , the coaches refused to
shake hands. Rollie Massimino

Is Carnesecca running St. J ohn ragged?
by Sandy Keenan

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

St. John 's has played two great
halves against the top guns of the Bi g
East. Unfortunately for the Redmen,
in each of those games, against Pitt
and Syracuse, they played well only in
the first half.
One has to wonder, are the Redmen
tired? In both 17-point losses, starters
Shelton Jones, Boo Harvey and Michael Porter played all 40 minutes - as
they have during most of the conference schedule. Could the team's recent defensive problems stem from
late-game exhaustion?
St. John's starters log more minutes
than any other starters in the league.
The home crowd at Alumni Hall clamors for substitutions, but Coach Lou
Carnesecca doesn't like to rest his best
players - never has.
"Why take them out unless they're

extremely tired, in foul trouble or not
playing well?" he asked. "Players love
to play, and they've earned it."
Yet in a recent win over Providence,
Jones asked out late in the game en
route to scoring a career-high 31
points. "I was catching cramps," he
said. Though the team was up by more
than 20 points much of the second
half, Carnesecca kept him in for 39
minutes. And after a four-point loss to
Boston College, Harvey admitted, "I
was a little tired, but then I caught my
second wind."

In the back-to-back Pitt and
Syracuse losses, Harvey shot 86 percent from the field in the first halves
and only 22 percent after the breaks.
Porter's efficiency dropped nearly 20
percent in the second halves of those
games.
Strangely enough, Carnesecca

seems more willing to sub for his big
me n than he does for his little guys ,
even though he has a proven swingman , Elander Lewis, on the bench.
Lewis is an all-around talent with
shooting range, penetrating ability
and rebounding skills who has shown
hecan spark the team. He did it against
Kansas, when he came off the bench
for eight points, three steals and four
rebounds in 14 minutes. Yet in 11
league games, he's played only 63
minutes.
"I'm not at all unhappy with Elander; it's just that Porter is playing
exceptionally well," Carnesecca said.
"Theones who are playing well, play.
Ron Rowan didn 't play at all when
(Chris) Mullin was a senior, and he
made the NBA."
Ironically, Rowan is the very example Carnesecca's critics use to argue for more time for players such as

Teammates mourn star 's death
as a result of cocaine overdose

Lewis. Who could blame Lewis, a
sophomore, for leaving after this season, knowing Carnesccca's philosophy is to play Porter and Harvey 40
minutes even when they look ragged?
Carnesecca says the Lewises will
get their chance. "They always do.
The idea is to do something when it
comes," he said.
Does the defense suffer from the
lack of fresh bodies? "I don 't think it
hurts us, not playing just two games a
week," Carnesecca said. He claims
the Redmen have their worst defensive lapses in the firs t half , not the
second.
Since center Jayson Williams
moved into the starting lineup seven
games ago, St. John 's bench has been
outscored 87-21. In the consecutive
losses to Pitt and Syracuse, the RedSo, maybe it's time the coaches
men reserves were outscored 28-0
started acting their age instead of
overall, 20-0 in the second¦ half.

For all of you who think 7-2 Pitt - up
two games in the loss colum n over
Syracuse - has the regular season title
sewn up, consider this: The Panthers
have upcoming rematches with the
two teams who have beaten them Georgetown and the Orangemen in
Syracuse, and they must play Seton
Hall twice. Seton Hall is always up for
the spoiler role. For Syracuse to pull
off the title, the Orangemen have scant
margin for error the rest of the way
against Villanova and in the seasonfinale against Pitt.

Bloomsburg University Husky 's
men's basketball team playoff hopes
as West Chester won a thrilling game
77-75 in overtime.
The game featured the Achilles '
heal of the Huskies all season, turn overs. The Huskies committed 25
turnovers compared to only nine for
the Golden Rams and West Chester
converted Bloomsburg 's turnovers
11 times that gave them leads of as
much as nine points during the game.
The first half was evenly played and
had many small runs by both teams.
Bloomsburg started the game with
a 6-2 run the first two and a half
minutes of the game. West Chester
came right back with two buckets by
Jim Shechan to lie the game at six.
The Huskies preceded to put another run together of 8-2 with balanced scoring and strong rebounding
to take a 14-8 lead. West Chester
scored the next nine points and took a
17-14 lead with 6:46 to go in the first
half.
Bloomsburg took advantage of
their height for the next two minutes

of last night 's game while scoring six
of th ier own to walk out of West

victory over the Rams.
The Huskies' leading scorer, Theresa Lorenzi , was held to only 11
points, well below her 24.4 point
average. Freshmen Barb Hall and
Nina Alston picked up the slack, scor-

ing 19 and 13 points respectively.
Hall , who hauled in 10 rebounds, was
selected the Player of the Game, for
her performance.
Bloomsburg had a 29-26 lead at the
hal f, but West Chester opened up the
second half with a 10-2 run to take a
36-31 lead with fourteen minutes

The Huskies answered right back
wilh a 9-1 run , to open a 40-37 lead.

point guard Becky Pigga had three.

Pigga ended with seven points.
After the teams exchanged baskets
and the Rams were able to take a brief
45-44 lead with 7:33 left in the game,
Alston nailed her only three-pointer
of the game, giving the Huskies a lead
they would never relinquish.
Although it remained close for the
next four minutes, West Chester hit a
bucket to pull within th ree, ,55-52 ,
with 3:40 left in the game, but failed to
score the rest of the way and
Bloomsburg won by a final of 61-52.

season average. Amy Wolf had five
points , Karen DeLullo, three, Donna
Cooper, two and Carla Shearer, one.

the damage, scoring 17 and ^ respectively. Mensch also led all rebounders
with 11.
Wilh the victory, Bloomsburg
improves their record to 9-1 in the
PSAC. They will now prepare for this
Saturday's game against Mansfield.

The Bloomsburg University men s
and women's swimming and diving
teams will compete in the Pennsylvania Conference Championships this
Thursday through Saturday , Feb. 1820, at Clarion University. All events
will be held in the natatorium of the
Waldo S. Tipp in Gymnasium beginning at 10 a.m. each day with the finals
slated for 6 p.m. each evening.
The women 's team will be out to
continue its string of impressive finishes which has seen the Huskies
register second place showings in
each of the last seven seasons, while
the men 's unit will attempt to improve
its standing for the second straight
year after ending up in the seventh
place position in 1987.
"Realistically, we are looking at
second place for the women, but we
want to get closer to Clarion to show
the progress we've made," said second year head coach Dave Rider.
"Our goals have been to show constant improvement, and if we swim
our best times, we have to be happy. In
the long run , that's what we're looking for in the program. The men have
a good shot at sixth place and maybe
an outside chance at finishing fifth."
Senior Beth Roeder, who has already qualified for the NCAA Divi-

sion II Championships in two events,
has the ability and has registered the
times to win several races at the PC
meet. She has been clocked in 59.08
seconds in the 100-yard butterfly and
has the nation 's fastest 200-yard butterfly time at 2:07.07. Roeder will
compete in both races in the PC and
national championships. She is also
entered in the PC's 200 and 400-yard
individual medley races, recording
qualifying times of 2:14.08 and
4:52.10, respectively.
Roeder was a conference champion
in the 200-yard butterfly a year ago as
well as swimming a leg of the Huskies' title-winning 200-yard freestyle
relay unit. She finished fourth in the
200-yard individual medley, third in
the 400-yard individual medley and
was a member of Bloomsburg 's rtmner-up 400 and 800-yard freestyle and
400-yard medley relay teams.
Sophomore Debby Leggy is returning to defend the crown she won as a
freshman in the 1650-yard freesty le
for the Huskies. She also finished
second in the other distance freestyle
race at a length of 500 yards and will
be one of the favorites in both races
this season.Legg has registered qualify ing times in three other events including the 200-yard freestyle event

and the 100 and 200-yard backstrokes. She was also a place winner in
the 200-yard freestyle race last seaon ,
finishing in eighth place and was a
part of die second place 800-yard
freestyle rcaly squad .
Karen Pfistercr, another performer
who recorded hi gh finishes as a freshman in last year's meet, will lead the
Huskies' freestyle sprint corps in the
100 and 200-yard races, and will
compete in the 500-yard freestyles
and the 100-yard butterfly. Pfistercr
was fourth in the 100, 200 and 500yard freestyles in 1987, sixth in the
100-yard butterfly, and was a member
of all five relay teams. She has team
bests in the 50 and 100-yard freestyles
with a 25.60 in the shorter race and a
timing of 54.50 in the 100-yard event.
Kim Nelson, a freshman , could
make her presence known in her first
season in several events including
four freestyles, the 100, 200, 500 and
1650. Nelson has the team's best
times in the 200 and 500-yard races in
clockings of 1:58.80 and 5:15.99.
Several other members of the squad
should turn in high finishes giving the
Huskies valuable points to close in on
Clarion and fend off the charge of
much improved Slippery Rock for
second place. The questionable status

of national place winner kim Youndt,
who has been experiencing shoulder
problems this season, could create a
problem for the Huskies in a few
events.The solid performances of the
relay units was the main reason for the
improvements in the standings of the
men's team. This season 's veterans
Jack Carr, Todd McAllister and Bob
Potter, make up three quarters of the
400 and 800-yard freesty le units with
a pair of freshman rounding out the
teams with Drew Wallace in the
shorter event and Dave Danner in the
800-yard race. Potter, Wallace and
Carr are also members of the400-yard
medl y relay squad with the

brcaststroke leg still undecided.
Potter, a sophmore who placed in
three events last season, should be one
of the top competitors in the 100 and
200-yard backstroke and the 200-yard
freestyle once again this season. He
was fifth in the 100 and 10th in the
200-yard backstrokes, while he finished 12th in the freestyle race. Potter
has times of 57.76 seconds in the 100yard backstroke and 2:08.41 in the
200-yard race.Senior Jerry Shantillo
was 12th in the 1650-yard freestyle
last season and could improve upon
his place. Shantillo should be joined
in the race by freshman Brian Duda,
who will also compete in the 200-yard

backstroke and the 500-yard freestyle.
In the brcaststroke races, any one of
three competitors could finish among
the place winners. Senior John Schneider placed in both the 100and 200yard breaststrokes a year ago, finishing eighth and 13th, respectively,
while another senior, Ed McElhiney,
and freshman Mark Moore have
turned in times similar to those of
Schneider.
Wallace is the Huskies' top performer in two races, the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfl y where
he has registered times of 22.80 and
55.51 seconds, respectively.
