Belongings taken from
lockers during game

by Tom Sink
Managing Editor
Approximately $400, a watch and a
ski jacket were removed from the
lockers of Bloomsburg .University
alumni before the BU-Chcney University basketball game Feb. 13, according to BU Sports Information
Director Jim Hollister.
"It happened when the alumni were
on the floor," he said, referring to the
BU alumni game which proceeded the
Pennsylvania Conference Eastern
Division contest between the Huskies
and the Wolves.
"The doors (to the locker room)
were supposed to be locked," Hollister said. "I have no idea how anyone
could have gotten in there."
Hollister said once the items were
discovered missing, the Cheney
coaching staff pulled the players from
warm-up.

Although the watch and jacket and
some cash were later returned, Hollister said some of the money remained
missing.
"They knew there was a problem.
They were upset more so lhan us," he
said. "To say their entire team was
involved is unfair."
Hollister said no reports ofthe incident were filed with the campus police and that the Cheney coaching
staff is conducting an internal
check."The situation could best be
handled internally," he added. "(The
BU Alumni) got back most of the
items, hopefully the rest will bc resolved."
Richard Yanni , a 1976 graduate of
Bloomsburg State College who participated in the alumni game, said "It
kind of put a damper on the (BUCheney) game."
Yanni said none of his belongings

were taken because he secured his
locker.
Another BU participant , Tony
DaRe, said he was a "victim" of the
incident, but declined to say what was
taken and referred questions to BU
officials.
"The situation has not been resolved," said BU Associate Director
Mary Gardner. She added that no
comment could be made until a resolution was reached.
Cheney's basketball coach Charles
Songster also did not comment on the
incident and referred all questions to
Cheney Athletic Director Andrew
Hinson , who in turn referred all questions to Gardner.
"I'm sure we'll get the situation
resolved because of our long-term
relationship with them,". Hollister
said. "We don 't care who did it, we
just want the things back."

The Annual North Central Pennsylvania Education Consortium will be
held at Bloomsburg University, in the
Kehr Union Building on Tuesday,

Frats feature music not beer
by Laura Specht
Staff Writer
Parties held at the Lambda Chi
Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity houses this weekend offered
non-alcoholic alternatives to the
usual college party routine.
Friday's party at TKE featured the
live broadcast of WBUQ and was
free to university students.
The soda and snacks were donated
be local businesses.
"Everybody seemed to have a
good time. I was working the door
and had to turn people away." commented Mike Mullen, a member of
TKE.
"I think it went really well. We had
a good turn out," said Jason
Bardsley, TKE vice president
"The skeptical part was erased. I
thought it offered an alternative to
the people at Bloomsburg. It proved
you don't have to drink beer to have
fun." added Bardsley.
Saturday 's party at Lambda Chi
featured live entertainmentby TropX.
The purpose of the party was to
"let people know that you can have

fun on a Saturday night without alcohol," said Rich Black, a member of
Lambda Chi. Party goers definitely
seemed to agree with Black.
A $1 donation went to pay the
soundman for the group.
"I thought they (Trop-X) sounded
great. Everyone was dancing and
having a good time. Trop-X got the
audience involved," said Noelle Norton.
Trop-X members, Tim Houlihan,
drummer, Chris Sharp, bass, Rich
Djarahar, guitar, Steve Murwin, guitar and Kevin Mahar, keyboards entertained the large group wilh numbers by the Doobie Brothers, Whitesnake, Boston, Grateful Dead, and
George Thorogood just to name a few.
"I'm having just as good a time as I
would have had if there was alcohol,"
said Betsy Kugler and Lucy Pronko.
The students at BU were not the
only ones who were excited about the
party.
"The community is really behind
us," said Lambda Chi President Mike
Bryan.
BU administrators Dean Robert
Norton and university President Dr.

Harry Ausprich were invited to the
party.
"I am amazed that so many people
showed up so early in the evening. I
hope students would realize that it
doesn 't take a keg of beer to socialize," Norton said.
Norton commented on the number of people that attended both parties.
"They still had a good crowd even
though there were other events running on campus." noted Norton.
"I feel that it is very exciting,"Dr.
Ausprich commented. "Everyone is
having a great time and I am pleased
that we were invited."
"I hope that students are satisfied
with the alternative. I hope thatother
organizations, greek or otherwise
would pick up on the idea." added
Norton.
Several Lambda Chi brothers
claimed early in the evening that if
the party was successful there will
definitely be more.
Although many people said tliey
showed because they were curious,
the favorable response of mostpartiers indicated that they would return.

Opening bids for the planned residence hall were discussed during a
Deartment of General Services meeting in Harrisburg, Wednesday.
Several Bloomsburg officials attended the meeting.
The new residence hall, to be built
on upper campus, is slated to open
June 1989.
Ten general contractors, eight
mechanical and 12 electrical firms are
bidding for the project.
According to Don McCulIoch, BU
Director of Physical Plant and Energy
Management, The contractors must
show they are capable of handling the
$5.8 million budget. They must deposit a cashier's check for a percentage of the total cost."
McCulIoch forsaw no problem.
Jennie Carpenter, Director of Residence Life, said the Department of
General Services could take up to four
weeks to review the companies'
qualifications.
She added, "I was pleased because
the bids weren't extremely high. We
hope to break ground on the building
site this spring. We're right on target
for the 1989 June opening.

The field of presidential contenders was diminished by
two Thursday, both former governors who challenged
their party's other candidates with their strong and controversial stands on the issues.
Former Delaware Gov. Pete Du Pont, a Republican , and
former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt , a Democra t, announced their departures from the race after poor showings in Iowa and New Hampshire. They leavebehind four
Republicans and six Democrats as the campaign moves to
the Midwest, for the South Dakota and Minnesotacontests
next week, then south for the cluster of primaries on March
5 and on Super Tuesday March 8.
Saying he was reminded ofthe Biblical quotation that
"the truth shall make you free," Babbitt told a group of
cheering supporters at the National Press Club in Washington that his freedom came about "a lot sooner than I had
expected."
"But although I am withdrawing from this race, I'm not
withdrawing from the cause that prompted and brought me
into the political arena," said Babbitt.
In a similar statement to his supporters in a downtown
Wilmington hotel, Du Pont said "today our campaign
lowers its flag, but our crusade continues to march."
Both virtual unknowns nationally when they started
campaigning almost two years ago, Babbitt and Du Pont
took strong, controversial stands, some said as much to get
noticed as to carry forward their political causes.
After New Hampshire, Babbitt had four delegates,
compared to frontrunnerGov.Michael Dukakis, D-Mass.,
with 44.5. On the Repubican side, Du Pont had earned two,
compared to 61 for Vice President George Bush and 42 for
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan.
Although neither announced for the next presidential
race in 1992, both indicated that their political days were
farfrom over and that this first try at the presidency had left
them more experienced if the opportunity should arise
again.
Du Pont, a 53-year-old former congressman , state legislator, two-term governor and great-great grandson ofthe
founder ofthe Du Pont Co., told reporters lhat despite his
this campaign and his family name, he still was not nationally known and that was to his advantage.

"I'm in a wonderful position. I'm unknown. I'm underrated, and there's nowhere to go hut up,"said Du Pont to
cheers of about 100 supporters, some of whom wore "Pete
1992" stickers.
When Babbitt was asked which other Democrat he was
going to endorse, he said he wasn't ready to choose a
successor and added "I'm going off to Elba," referring to
the island whereNapolean stayed in exile before returning
to rule France in 1815.
Asked more directly whether he will run in 1992,
Babbitt said: "My options in 1992 will be supporting the
incumbent Democraticpresident or doing something I've
always wanted to do, which is run for sheriff of Coconino
County.
Babbitt said that he believes his problem was that "it's
asking an awful lot, in the course ofa campaign before the
American people, to say consider both a new messager and
a challenging and different message."He added later that
instead of complicated answers to issue questions, a new
candidate has to ask himself: "Where is my bumper
sticker?"
Du Pont said that he believes his issues are now being
carried on by others in his party. "We have moved those
challenges forward to the center of the debate; they are
urgent, they are real, they will not disappear," he said.
Both candidates also said they drop out of their races
without major campaign debts. Du Pont, who raised $7.5
million, had $350,000 left after New Hampshire, his press
secretary told reporters.
Babbitt said that he had been told by campaign officials
that his campaign debt was about $75,000.
Longtime friends of Babbitt said that he changed and
matured as he weathered the campaign trail. In particular,
he began to reveal what had heretofore been a wellconcealed sense of humor, they said. The combination of
humor, candid political statements and a low standing in
the polls helped make Babbitt a favorite of the media.
Asked whether the media attention helped or hurt, a
smiling Babbitt, flanked by his wife, Hattie; his two
children; and his "mentor," Rep. Morris Udall, D-Ariz.,
said: "I think you (in the media) engaged in a deliberate
conspiracy to destroy my candidacy by making me into a
kind of house pet and destroying my credibility in the eyes
of the American people. Thanks."

Simon reconsiders

by Keith Love

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

In a turnabout that shows just how
muddled the Democratic presidential
race still is, Illinois Sen. Paul Simon
said Thursday that he was reconsidering his decision to quit the race if he
does not finish first in one of next
Tuesday's contests.
"I made an announcement yesterday that we would have to win in
either Minnesota or South Dakota
next week," Simon said Thursday
after addressing students at St. Cloud
State University.
"But in the: meantime we've been
getting telegrams, phone calls and the
response has been terrific," added
Simon, who got word of that response
at a series of fund raisers Wednesday
night in Chicago.

People are calling in from all over
saying that I have to stay in this race,
so we are making a reappraisal and I'll
make a statment tomorrow."
He is expected to announce that he
is in the Democratic race until at least
the Illinois primary on March 15.
Political sources in Illinois said tliat
many of the state's top Democratic
activists and contributors are Simon
delegates in Illinois and they are pressuring him to run there because they
think he can win and give them a ticket
to the national convention no matter
what happens next week or on Super
Tuesday, March 8.
The mood of Simon and his press
secretary, Terry Michael, was strikingly different Thursday from what it
was after Simon finished third in New
Hampshire Tuesday.

Frat treatment inconsistant

To thc Editor
I find it increasingly distressful that
the university seems to have completely failed to inflict any substantial
punishment on the fraternity Lambda
Chi Alpha after it was recently raided
by police for serving alcohol to minors. There seems to bc obvious favoritism toward Lambda Chi on the
part of thc administration. Let 's return
to last semester and look at a similar
raid on thc fraternity of Beta Sigma
Delta.
It 's curious that Beta Sig has its
charter taken away, thereby losing all
university and social benefits and in
essence becoming non-cxistant in thc
eyes of the administration. Lambda
Chi , however, did not suffer thc same
fate, even though at time of its raid it
was already on probation for violaii ng
anti-hazing laws (the brothers were
caught in thc woods by police with
blind-folded pledges, uh , excuse mc,
"associates," and kegs of beer). Beta
Sig was not on probation when they
were raided.
Isn't there supposed to bc a threestep process in taking away a
fraternity 's charter? The process
seems to have been eliminated in the
case of Beta Sig. Does thc university
see the "locals" (fraternities and sororities which exist nowhere else
except here at BU) such as Beta Sig,
Sigma Iota Omega and Delta Pi as
undesirable and therefore readily
expendable at the best, well-publicized opportunity when compared to
national fraternities and sororities
such as Teke (Tau Kappa Epsilon or
TKE) and (hie!) Lambda Chi.
Maybe thc fact that thc raid on
Lambda Chi happened almost sans
publicite ' was a major factor , even
though it shouldn 't have been. Afte r
all, the punishment inflicted upon

Beta Sig should not bc blown out ot
proportiaon just because thc publicity
surrounding it was.
In a recent Voice article ("Fiats
offer party alternative", Feb. IS ,
1988) wc are told of non-alcoholic
parties being sponsored by Teke and
Lambda Chi.
Lambda Chi President Mike Bryan
seems to give the impression that the
fraternity brothers have learned thoir
lesson, although it is not entirel y dour
that they learned it from thc fuel that
they themselves were busted , a point
which was, forsome unknown reason .
purposefully omitted by Jeff Smith ,
who wrote the article. I found Mike
Bryan 's comment "...we want to convey to die campus that you don 't need
alcohol at a social function... " and
Lambda Chi Social Chairman Todd
Kitchen 's comment tliat their "dry "
party would prove that people can
have a good time without alcohol as
totally hypocritical and distasteful .
A fraternity which has been caught
serving alcohol to minors one week
should definitely nol preach about thc
evils of alcohol thc next. All that
you 've "conveyed" to many students,
president Bryan , is that you do not
practice what you preach. Please
don 't try to inflict your twisted morals
on us again.
Two-faced. As simple and crudel y
elementary as this compound adjective may sound , it seems to fit thc
administration 's handling of the raids
on Beta Sig Delta and Lambda Chi
Alpha. And before the administration
retaliates by claiming that Beta Sig
was so severely punished because of
the violent protest which erupted after
the raid on the fraternity house, let mc
point out thc violence was no fault of
Beta Sig, which cooperated fully with
the police.

The protest was thc result of the
immature student who attended the
party and heightened by the gung-ho,
let 's-string- 'em-up attitude- of thc
mace-happy officers. (A friend of
mine was innocendy walking past the
fraternity house at the time of thc raid
and was maccd by a cop regardless of
iho fact that he was in no way connected with thc party going on inside! 7).
The point of tiic letter is to simply
ask thc administration , (Specificall y
Dr. Jerrold Griffis , vice president for
Student Life and Robert Norton , assistant vice president for Student Life)
why they pounded down so hard on
Beta Sig and then basicall y turned
their heads the other way with
Lambda Chi? I myself am not in a
frate rnity and have nothing to lose or
gain witli either decision. My opinion
and concerns, however, should be
valued by thc administration , just as
those of any B U student , regardless of
frate rnal affilication (or thc lacking
thereof).
Thc administration should realistically (not just ideally) represent and
listen to all thc students when it comes
to fratcrnitiles and sororities because
die Greek ratio here is so large that
every student is affected by thc system, whether they like it or not. I
believe lhat the administration to be
fair in its decision to punish Beta Sig
and Lambda Chi it should pcrsue one
of two courses of action: (1) Take
away Lambda Chi' s charter immediately with no it's, ands or buts, just as
was done with Beta Sig, or (2) restore
Beta Sig's charter completely and
give thc Beta Sig brothers thc same
oppportunilitcs as those given to
Lambda Chi , to prove that they, too,
have learned their lesson.

A year had passed and I decided to
apply to Bloomsburg for readmission.
Everything went well and I was accepted into the mass communications
department. The department was suffering from a lack of instructors and
an overabundance of students. The
university was suffering from a lack
of organization and an overabundance of bureaucracy.
I made arrangements to schedule
classes for the fall. I returned early so
everything would be in order for the
first day of classes.When I visited my
advisor for my new department, who
in all fairness has been a great help and
done more than his share of fighting
for me, I discovered trouble.
When a student transfers from one
department to another, his or her file is
duplicated in the registrar's office and
sent to the new department. Mine was
not. After approximately one week of
searching, I took matters into my own
hands and got my file from my old
department and walked it to my new
one. Done? Wrong! All the preapproval forms that had been so wisely
procurred in advance had suddenly
disappeared from my file.
Afterweeksof fighting the registrar
over these forms, I once again took
matters into my own hands. I walked
the appropriate forms through the administration and returned to the registrar.
Now our ever-efficient registrar
was amazed when I returned. They
did not have a file for me. Where

could it have gone? They could not
have processed the approval forms
anyway because no transcript from
my other university had arrived. The
transcripts in question had been requested before I had left the university
to return to Bloomsburg.
Three requests I made for a transcript and three times I was told that
none had been received. Finally the
office of the registrar phoned my
other school and inquired about me.
Hurray for the registrar! He seemed
to be showing a genuine interest in me
as one of their students. Wrong. He
just found someone else to
blame.Finally, I returned to my other
university and stood over the woman
who processed my transcript and
mailed it. As a precaution , I made her
sign an affidavit.
The form s are in. The semester
ended. All the information is finally
complete. End of story. Perhaps I
should say end of chapter one. Wait , it
is not over yet.As a second semester
senior who is taking all core courses in
order to graduate, I am busier than
most seniors but I don 't mind because
I want out. The end of last semester
everything was worked out so I could
graduate.
We are now one month into the
spring semester and I have not received an application to graduate. I
went to the registrar. According to
their records, I was supposed to
graduate in spring of 1987, "didn't I?"
Seeing as how I was not a student at

"

Where is your support , BU?
To the BU Community
I' m writing this because it is important for me to take a stand. Before I do,
let me introduce myself. My name is
Rolf Timothy Carlson. I was an assistant professor on temporary assignment with thc theatre at Bloomsburg
University for one very special year.
It was special because of the nature
of my relationships wilh many of you
who are still there. It was special becauscof thc students in myclasscs, the
faculty I worked with , and the plays
wc produced.
I' ve never, in my 45 years, written
something like this with the intention
of having it published . However, as I
stated before , I need to take a stand.
Feb. 17, I attended thc opening
performance of Eugene O Neill s
play, A Moon for lhe Misbegotten. By
thc way, this is not a critique of thc
play, it is merely an observation. It
was a good piece of iheatre. It was
possibly Mr. Hitashi Sato's last piece
ever, however regrettable that may be.
I believe Mitrani Hall seats nearly
2,000 people. BU has approximately
6,000 students and a large faculty and
staff. There may be as many as 8,000
bodies in the community. The play
was performed four times. If my math
is correct, 2,000 scats multiplied by
four performances equals 8,000, or a
full house for every performance.
So why were there about 40 people
in the audience? Furthermore, some of
the 40 wcre residents of Bloomsburg
hot direclly affiliated with the university community.
To put it blundy, I'm ashamed. I'm
disgusted. Where are you? Faculty,
don 't you require that your students
see the plays? Do you attend the
plays? One of thc speech faculty
stated as she passed through the theatre before the play started , "I didn 't
know until yesterday that Jody was
acting in this play." To me, that is

Registrar causes headaches f or senior

To the Editor
I am not a violent or unusually outspoken person under normal circumstances. However, these are not normal circumstances and I am mad as
hell about this university and its administration.
This is not another story about fraternities and other organizations who
are at times victims of the system and
social upittyness. No, this is a story
about every student who attends this
institute of higher learning, the key
word being institute.
During my departure from
Bloomsburg, in search of my direction in life, I attended another local
university. Thankfully I found what I
was looking for in the mass communication courses I took and made a
decision to return to Bloomsburg.
Here is where the saccarine-sweet
story ends and reality begins.
In an unusual flash of insight, I took
the precaution of having all the
classes I was to take preapproved by
Bloomsburg so that when I returned to
finish my degree, the process would
run smoothly. As some of you may
know the process is not all that involved.
Classes are chosen by the student
and a faculty advisor. Later the chairperson of the department must sign
the forms and then they go to the dean.
After completing this,one copy is sent
to the registrar and others to the individuals department. I was set, or so I

the time, no. I got my application and
got my graduation date straight. Easy
enough, I'm happy as a clam and ready
to graduate.
My advisor stopped me the other
day and said lhat he needed to see me
about some forms he had received
wcre preapproval forms that had been
lost during the summer of 1987. Now
the preapproval forms that I walked
throug h were gone and to top it all off ,
they were not accepting one of my
classes.
Naturally I want the problem resolved but not much can be done, the
registrar is on vacation for two weeks
and all the part-time help is clueness as
to what is happening.
My advisor and some of my friends
are saying not to worry about this, but
this is my life! The general opinion is
one of calm diligence. Stay calm and
work this out and everything will be
fine. If everyone on this campus feels
that way, it is no wonder that our
registrar is almost one year behind in
processing files! Perhaps if enough
people would stop resting on their
laurals and express an opinion our administration would be more efficient.
Once I was proud to say I went to
Bloomsburg. However now I will
never recommend this school to anyone. The problems I experienced are
not uncommon and sadly only just the
tip of the iceberg. Maybe some day
someone will put enough heat on the
university to melt it.

beyond belief.
Fraternities and sororities , don 't
you urge your membership lo bc active in their appreciation of the events
on campus?
Administrators, do you only administrate by day and forget what
happens at night? Maintenance,
grounds crew, where are you?
Arc the tickets too expensive? Do
you not see posters or hear or see
advertisements? Docsn 't the word get
around campus? Is three hours away
from television , beer and pretzels,
studies and home more than you can
manage? Theatre is frivolity, right?

I am ashamed of you.
If anyone wishes to respond to this
observation , I can be reached at Albright College in Reading where I am
technical director of the Campus
Center Theatre.
Mr. Sato, I apologize if you see this
as improper. This is my personal
observation.
Part of this observation concludes
that your 16 years of dedication deserves more response. You 've
touched a lot of lives and your spirit
will remain.

To thc Editor
I would like to know what the hell
is going on here at BU. Four years ago
when I was a freshman I could go to a
social event without the worry about
being arrested for the ghastly crime of
under-age drinking. Now studen ts
here at BU can't even go as a guest to
someone's house without having
these "moral crusaders" charging
through the door and arresting us
"hard-core criminals."
Let's face the facts in these last four
years. The students and the Greek
organizations have scaled down the
amount of parties in order to keep student-town relations in good order.
For example, I remember my fraternity (four years ago) having three
parties a week. Now we have one
party and we clear everyone out by
11:45 p.m.
I am not denying there is underage
drinking going on , but remember the
amount of beer available and the
number of people in a party make it
very hard to get even four or five
beers.
The main aspect of these "social
gatherings"is to meet members ofthe
opposite sex, not to get "crushed."
Nearly 100 percent of the people at
these "social gatherings"are students
from campus that walk.
We as students pour great amounts
of money into this town in the manner
of ordering out for food , haircuts,

food shopping, movie rentals, movie
going, clothes shopping, etc. What if
we decided , all of us, to stop doing this
for a month . The economy of this
town would drop like a "rock in a
river."
We are thc economy of this town
and my proof lies in the sales receipts
of the town businesses during the
regular academic calendar and their
receipts in the summer.
If we want to have our "right to
party" back we must be sensible. We
should walk to the parties or if we
happen to drive, assign a driver who
doesn't drink. Respect our neighbors
by keeping the hours reasonable by
ending the parties by 12 midnight.
But to get this back we as students
mustputpressureon the town council.
Do you know as a student you can
rcgistar to vote here in Bloomsburg?
If enough students registered we
could put someone on the town
coun:
cil.
Or better yet, we could, by vote
power, get the local state representative in Harrisburg to listen to our
demands. To acomplish this we must
UNITE as a student body and fight
back.
I' m mad as hell and I' m not going to
take it anymore.

Adonis

This is the key.

settiements for families of threeof the
seven astronauts killed in the Challenger shuttle crash , asserting that it
has no legal liability in the accident.
The most recent of these settlements came last week when the father
and brother of mission specialist Judith A. Resnik signed an agreement
with shuttle contractor Morton Thiokol Inc. for payments said to total
$1.5 million to $2.5 million.
Although the government contributed to similar settlements with four
of the Challenger families in December 1986, it has since turned down
claims arising from the nation 's worst
space accident, according to lawyers
involved in the cases.
Michael Oldak, a lawyer representing the Resniks, said the Justice Department cut off negotiations with
him several months ago and refused
to offer anything.
"The government for some reason
was trying to screw us," said Marvin
Resnik, the astronaut 's father.
"We feel the attorney general's
office did not bargain in good faith. ...
She lost her life just as much as any of
the others."

Baby declared brain-dead, organs donated

by Janny Scott and Louis Sahagun

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

The first anencephalic baby to be kept alive in the
United States solely for the purpose of preserving his organs for donation has been declared brain dead, clearing
the way for his liver and perhaps heart to be transplanted
into another infant.
Officials at Loma Linda Medical Center, 60 miles east
of Los Angeles, described the baby 's quiet death as
vindication of the controversial procedure, saying they
had succeeded in preserving the infant 's organs without
causing him pain or inordinately prolonging his life.
"My staff have said they feel very, very good," Dr.
Joyce Peabody, chief of neonatology at Loma Linda, said
in a press conference. "They do not feel that in any way
the dignity or respect of this baby was compromised."
The seven-pound baby, born Tuesday with a condition
called anencephaly in which most of the brain is missing,
was first declared brain dead at about 9 p.m. Wednesday.
He had been put on a respirator since his birth 25 hours
earlier in an Anaheim hospital. The infant remained on a
respirator after die declaration of brain death so that his
organs could continue to receive oxygen, which is necessary if they are to be suitable for transplant.
The baby, identified only as Baby John , was entered
into the national organ donation system to be matched
with other babies needing his organs. System officials
have located four potential recipients with the same
blood type in need of a liver, Peabody said.
She said transplant system officials would decide
within a day or two which infant would receive the liver.
Then a team of surgeons probably will fly here to "harvest" the organ and return with it for transplantation.
Although such procedures have been used on
anencephalic newborns in Canada, they have never been
used previously in the United States.
The entire procedure, being pioneered at Loma Linda
under guidelines drawn up late last year, has been attacked by ethicists and others who say that it is morally
wrong to keep a person alive on a respirator solely for the
benefit of someone else.
Some have also argued that there are no proven standards for determining brain death in infants under seven
days old or in anencephalic infants. For that reason, they
say that there is a risk that organs might be removed from
a living human being.
"What they are doing here, I think , is an indication of
the danger, that these babies are being regarded as another species," Dr. Alexander Capron, a prominent spe-

cialist in determination of brain death, commented Thursday. "They're not regarded as human beings."
Peabody, however, said th at she was encouraged by the
case.
She said that the hospital had accomplished its aim of
maintaining the baby's organs "without rendering any
apparent discomfort or distress to the baby." That is, the
baby was lying comfortably and showing no signs that the
breathing tube was bothering him , she said.
Secondly, Peabody said brain death occurred "in a reasonable period of time"and was "clear and certain"to three
neurologists and two neonatologists who examined the
baby. Critics have said that the respirator could inappropriately prolong the process of dying.
Thirdly, Peabody said that her staff felt satisfiedwith the
conduct and outcome of the case and the way the baby had
been treated. The baby 's mother, too, said that she was
"heartened by the outcome of an event that would otherwise have been a tragedy," Peabody said.
Finally, Peabody pointed to the four potential recipients.
"There is, in fact, a need, in the country at this , time for
four livers matching this baby's blood type," she said in an
interview after the press conference. "So, clearly something good came from the effort."
As for the controversial question of brain death, Peabody
said that determination was based on the absence of any
brain stem reflexes, gag reflexes, blinking and other response to stimuli, and the absence of any spontaneous
breathing in response to a stimulus.
Under questioning, she said the baby did receive Demarol, a painkiller, twice during and shortly after being transported from the Anaheim hospital where he was born to
LomaLinda. She denied the suggestion of some critics that
painkillers might prompt a response that could be misinterpreted as brain death.
We are quite convinced that there was no Demarol in
the baby's body at the time of death ," she said, noting that
the last dose was administered 11 hours before the first determination of brain death.
However, Capron, a professor of law, medicine and
public policy at the University of Southern California who
helped draft the law on brain death in California , Thursday
questioned the hospital' s ability to diagnose brain death in
newborns.
Anencephalic babies are born with neither the tops of
their skulls nor the higher brain centers that control thought
and feelings. With only a small brain stem to power their
lungs and heart, such infants usually die within hours or
days of birth.

Essay aggravates euthanasia issue

by Allan Parachim

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

An anonymous first-person essay
in a medical journal in which a doctor
describes killing a dying cancer patient with a shot of morphine has
touched off a controversy over questions of medical ethics and freedom of
the press, a controversy complicated
by doubt about whether the episode
ever occurred.
The unusual situation first took
shape in early January when the Journal of the American Medical Association published the four-paragraph
essay under the headline, "It's Over,
Debbie."
In it, the unidentified doctor ostensibly in the third year of aresidency in
obstetrics and gynecology recounts a
middle-of-the-night episode in which
he or she rushed to the hospital room
of a young woman dying of ovarian
cancer and ended her life after she
said, "Let's get this over with."
While the essay has triggered another round in the international debate over euthanasia , the AMA now
faces a subpoena from a Chicago
prosecutor demanding the name of
the physician author , even more basic
questions have arisen about whether

the essay is to be believed and why it
was published.
Kirk Johnson, general counsel at
the AMA's Chicago headquarters,
said Thursday that even the journal's
editors were uncertain whether the
article was based on fact or fiction.
He acknowledged, however, that
the journal knew the author's identity,
had communicated with him or her
before the essay appeared and had
confirmed that it was a specific physician.
Johnson and other top AMA officials have repeatedly emphasized that
the association continues to vigorously oppose legalization of euthanasia and that the article, true or untrue,
was published to stimulate discussion.
Dr. George Lundberg, the journal's
editor, decided to publish the essay
even though "there are differing opinions about whether or not it is a piece
of fiction, whether it has some basis in
fact and has some fiction or is completely factual," Johnson said.
Lundberg, who had previously
defended his decision to publish the
essay, was instructed to stop commenting publicly on the controversy,
Johnson said, after the subpoena was
served on the AMA Tuesday.

In a prepared statement, the AMA
said it "strongl y condemns the conduct described in the essay. Indeed
our ethical opinions specificall y state
that a physician should not intentionally cause death."

However, experts ranging from the
national head of the Hemlock Society, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based
organization that advocates the right
to strictly regulated euthanasia, to
Alexander Capron, a University of
Southern California medical ethicist
who was executive director ofa presidential commission on moral issues
in care of the dying, question whether
the essay may have been bogus,
planted in the journal by advocates or
opponents of euthanasia to sway
public opinion.
Their doubts focus on questions of
hospital procedure described in the
essay and on whether the amount of
narcotic used could have been fatal.
Johnson said the AMA will demand a formal court hearing on the
subpoena early next week in which
the association will argue that an Illinois state statute that allows reporters
to keep their information sources
secret also permits the AMA to refuse
to identify the essay's author.

Justice Department spokeswoman
Amy Brown confirmed this week that
the government has declined to participate in any further settlements
with Challenger families, other than
the four that it negotiated on behalf of
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration and Morton Thiokol
in 1986.
Besides Resnik, the government
did not make payments to Ronald E.
McNair's family, which also settled
separately with Thiokol .
A suit filed by the widow of Challenger pilot Michael J. Smith against
NASA and Thiokol is pending.

les R. Richey, during oral arguments
on a freedom of information lawsuit
filed by three news organizations,
told department lawyers Thursday
that an "overriding public interest"
justified release of at least the total
amount paid to all four families and
what portion of that total was paid by
Morton Thiokol.

Department officials have argued
that it would be unfair for them to
contribute to any settlement higher
than the amounts negotiated in 1986.
Citing the survivors' privacy, the
department has never released the
settlement terms.
But U.S. District Court Judge Char-

In the case of the Resniks, spokeswoman Brown said, the family had
initially rejected a "very generous"
settlement offer that was based on the
formula used to compute the secret
payments received by the four other
Challenger families.
The Justice Department's initial
offer, on behalf of NASA and Morton
Thiokol, was estimated by Oldak to
be worth "several hundred thousand
dollars," a figure he said was substan tially less lhan that offered the other
families, apparently because Resnik
was the only Challenger crew mem-

ber who was not survived by a spouse
and children.
According to court papers filed in
the freedom of information suit, Justice Department officials, seeking to
avert "highly complex tort litigation,"
began meeting with some of the
Challenger families soon after the
accident in an effort to reach an overall settlement.
The families were urged not to retain private counsel and to accept the
compensation offered by the Justice
Department in order to avoid any
further damaging publicity, according to two lawyers who were retained
by the astronauts' families.
Ronald Krist, who was retained by
McNair's widow, said his attempts to
negotiate with the Justice Department
were "fruitless."
They told him "if I was not going
to fall in line with the other widows,
then they were not going to contribute," he said.

Good guy turns bad
an outdated story

Features

by Pat Andrews
Staff Writer
Seeing a 12-year-old boy using
heroin is usually no laughing matter,
especially when you know that it does
happen. But A Hero Ain 't Nothin ' but
a Sandwich presents this theme in
such a far fetched and unrealistic
manner that it borderlines on comical.
The story was all too common;
about a young teenage boy who is
seemingly the brightest one in his
classes. He is well liked by all his
friends and the foca l point of praise
and admiration from his teachers.
So how docs an exemplary teen
become a heroin addict? Maybe because his father left his mother when
he was younger. Or maybebecause he
lives in the ghettos. Or perhaps it is
because he just can not accept his
mother's new boyfriend. It 's probably
a combination of all of these things.

Funk band creates
innovative music

by Joan Khng and Tina Nitchman
for The Voice
"An innovation is a uni que experience, therefore we wish to be an Innovation in unforgettable music," is
what nine talented young music students said in 1981.
The group, which performed Sunday at 8:30 p.m. in Kehr Union Building consists of nine members, including four lead vocalists, a horn section ,
three keyboard players, lead and bass
guitars, and one percussionist.
Seven of Inn-O-Vation 's members
are from thc Louisiana area, one is

from South Bend , Indiana and one is
from Kansas City. All band members
have had formal training under the
supervision of Dr. Alvin Batiste (the
nationally proclaimed Ambassador of
Jazz) at Southern University .
Inn-O-Valion has opened for such
notables as Ncw Edition and Jean
Kni ght. They have been encouraged
by The Gap Band and Thc Bus Boys.
The group has played at the University of Texas, University of Tennessee, Genesee Community College and
Campbell University, where they
received excellent reviews.

Prof essor discusses
his lif e in the media

But the idea of a good person gone
bad is just a little outdated and overdone. Maybe it went over well back in
1978 when the film first hit the box
office, but in the 80's, it isn't even fit
to be used in an aftcrschool special.

The comical side of the story takes
the form of a young and energetic boy
dressed in bell-bottomed j«-ns and
polyester T-shirts named Benjie
(played by Larry B. Scott).
Larry B. Scott fits the role of Benjie
very well. He plays a quick wilted,
intelligent and industrious 13-yearold. His intellect and wittiness was
always a step ahead of the rest of the
characters in the film. In one specific
instance , Benjie is asked to read his
composition out loud to the class.
After g iving a touching composition on his mother, Bcnjie 's teacher
tells him how excellent his writing
skills are and conti nues by telling
B enjie that 'he could be a famous
writer someday and really be somebody.
The teachers compliment was acknowledged by Benjie with a frown
followed by a quick response , "I already am somebody."
But no matter how strong Benjie 's
role is , it is not enoug h to keep the plot
out of the deep waters of failure.^
If you wcre one of the many who
left early during the movie, or if by
chance you just couldn 't find the time
to see the movie, don 't distress

movie.

Drug testing an emp loy ees right

by Linda E McLeod
for The Voice
The road for "casual" or "social"
drug users is coming to a dead end.
Employers are now demanding that
potential employees submit to drug
screening tests before hiring. Failure
to pass the test can mean an automatic
rejection.
According to many employers, hiring drug users can be expensive. Users
work less efficiently than their
"clean" co-workers, have accidents
more often , suffer illness more frequently, and use more sick days.
Employers maintain they have the
right to have their employees show up
fit for work. A person using drugs
does not work up to his or her potential, thus costing the company money.
Just as important, employees have the
right to know their co-workers are not
a hazard in the work place. No one
wants their life to be endangered by a
person who has lost control to drugs.
Drug use on the job can cost lives.
According to officials at Omega
Medical Laboratoriesin Wyomissing,

PA, a major supplier of drug testing
programs, a well-run drug screening
program can be better than 99.7%
accurate. The rumors we've all heard
about testing positive for opium after
eating a poppy-seed roll, or testing
positive for marijuana after being in a
room with people getting high, are
grossly exaggerated. Simply stated, if
you don't use drugs, there is no need to
worry.
Omega says that a good drug testing
program would consist of much more
than just a chemical analysis. A wellrun program would first consist of a
company wide policy that includes
notification of testing 24 hours prior to
the actual test.
Secondly, the employee being
tested would be asked if he or she had
taken any drugs, legal or non-legal,
prescribed or non-prescribed. After
the test, if a positive result was found,
the employee would have the opportunity to discuss the results with a medical professional.
Finally, the opportunity would be
made available for a re-test of the

Ted Hodgins got involved in radio
when he was in high school. The high
school station gave Hodgins "something to do" in Ardmore. The FM
station had a 15 mile broadcast radius
from the school and programmed
music and sports.
Hodgins has been at WBUQ since it
started broadcasting. He likes to work
alone and he likes to work late at
night "I don't like the afternoon. It's
boring," Hodgins says as he leans
back in his chair, At night you get

same sample by the most precise instrument available. In the final analysis, a human judgement will be made.
If drugs effect the performance of
employees, all drugs should be
screened. Alcohol is a drug. Some
current drug screens do not test for
alcohol. Because alcohol flushes out
of the system rapidly, routine drug
screening would most likely not detect alcohol abuse.
This may mean that an alcoholic
would be hired for a job while someone who smoked marijuana once a
week would not be considered for
employment This is where a poorly
run program could fail.
. From the employers' point of view,
a properly run drug program can save
money and eliminate hazardous conditions for employees caused by drug
use.
Employers now have the legal right
to ask any and all employees and potential employees to submit to a drug
screen. Whether one likes itornot , the
drug screening test may be waiting at
the end of the road.

Robin Williams does it again

by Mike Moyer
Staff Writer
Robin Williams has won a well-deserved Oscar nomination for his hilarious portrayal of disc jockey Adrian
Cronaucr in Good Morning, Vietnam.
Cronaucr was a real-life Air Force Sgt. who came to
Siagon earl y in 1965 to become a DJ for Armed Forces
Radio. Good Morning,Vietnam begins in the same fashion as Williams arrives in Vietnam , eagerly awaiting his
first broadcast.
He's an instant hit with the soldiers and a miss with his
immediate superiors. Williams begins each show by
shouting, "Good Morning,Vietnam!"
He reads thc news, plays rock and roll and talks about
everything from the heat ("It's so hot here, I saw one of
those little guys in thc orange robes burst into flames")
to President Johnson 's daughter ("Why did Lyndon
Johnson call his daughter Lynda Bird? Because Lynda
Dog would be too cruel"). That's only a small sample of
the films 's hilarious jokes.
Good Morning, Vietnam is the first comedy made
about the Vietnam War, but beneath all the hilarity

there s a depressing realization known only to the movie
audience and suspected by William 's character. Namely,
that the minor conflicts in 1965 would eventually turn into
the bloodbath of the Vietnam War.
Even the songs played by Williams, such as "Nowhere to
Run , Nowhere to Hide"and "It's a Wonderful World", have
a depressing irony to them. No one yet realizes the sad truth
behind these lyrics.
In one ofthe film 's best scenes, Williams entertains a detachment of soldiers waiting to be taken to the front lines.
Done with his jokes, he sadly watches them depart, knowing
many will never return.
The film 's highlights are when Williams is doing his radio
broadcasts. When he's off the air, the film gets bogged down
in an undeveloped love story between Williams and a
Vietnamese woman and by redundant images of the U.S.
military buildup.
But these minor flaws are overshadowed by the film 's
major perfection: Robin Williams. SDirector Barry Levinson allowed Williams to ad-lib and improvise many of the
lines and it pays off. Good show Robin , and good luck at the
Oscars.

rish last year. It was dead enough,
however, for an arbitrator to cry foul
and set the wronged 1986 free agents
free again, if those players so desired.
Tigers right fielder Kirk Gibson so
desired, gladly accepting a $4.5 million, three-year contract from the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
Now the Tigers
have no Gibson , no leadoff hitter , no
DH. And there's a possibility that
starting pitchers Jack Morris and
Doyle Alexander could also be declared free again. That's a glum outlook and certainly no way to defend a
division title, especially in the American League East.
Somewhere in between the ecstasy
of the A's and agony of the Tigers is
everyone else.
Right behind the A's in terms of

boldness were the Dodgers. Fred
Claire, the general manager voted
most unlikel y to survive the winter
meetings, accomplished much. He
carved huge hunks of dead wood from
the payroll. He then went out and
restocked the roster and did just about
everything asked except find a defense or a third baseman (please, not
Pedro Guerrero again). It's probably
not enough to upend the San Francisco Giants in the National League
West, but at least the Dodgers show a
pulse.
And , in what may really scare
owners in boih leagues, thc Dodgers
are now showing a willingness to use
Peter O'Malley's money to buy back
into thc winner's circle.
The Kansas Cily Royals also tried

to shake, rattle and roll free from a
lethargic 1987, though not with the
success of the A's. The American
League West club added left-hander
Floyd Bannister to a rotation that already contained Bret Saberhagen and
Qharlie Leibrandt. Pitching wins a lot
of games.
Aside from the acquisition of Billy
Martin, the Yankees added a major
heavy hitter in Jack Clark. Like Martin, Clark comes with questions attached. Can he stay healthy? Can he
keep an upbeat attitude? Can he easily
mesh with a clubhouse already
stocked with superstars such as Don
Mattingly, Dave Winfield and Rickey
Henderson?
The Yankees hope they don 't add
another question to that list halfway

through the season: Can Clark pitch?
Why the concern? The Tigers boast
Morris, for now. Toronto has Jimmy
Key. The Red Sox have the best in
Roger Clemens and the possibility
that a healthy Dennis "Oil Can "Boyd
will come north with the club in April.
The MilwaukeeBrewers boast Teddy
Higuera. No such dominant pitcher
fortifies Martin's rotation. But who
knows? George Steinbrenner may
have another shot at Morris.

St. Louis Cardinals, the team the
crosstown Mets love to hate. Thus did
the Yankees alter the picture not only
in their own division but perhaps even
more in the National League East.

by Tom Verducci

The rigors ofa baseball season have
prompted Billy Martin to lose sleep,
weight, his health and sometimes his
job. But Thursday , all about him was
perfect.
The infield grass was freshly
clipped , the Florida sun warmed him
and the New York Yankees had yet to
lose a game. Martin himself looked
tanned and healthy. It was a moment
for optimism , and Martin provided it.
On the eve of his club's first workout, Martin talked as boldl y and
brashly as he expects the Yankees to
play. He spoke of instructing his players in the art of barreling over shortstops and of supplanting the New
York Mets as the hottest team in town.
"We haven 't won in quite a while,"
Martin said. "It's time. It's very important that the Yankees win. I'm
tired of hearing about the Mets.
They 're a good team, but I'm getting
tired of hearing the mayor talk about
them. I want him to talk about the
Yankees. It's been a long time. Without injuries, we should be awful
strong right down the line."
Here is what Martin has in mind to
return the Yankees to the top:
Dave Righetti will pitch more innings this spring "to strengthen his
arm," Martin said, "so he'll be ready
right from the start." He said Righetti
would pitch as many as four innings in
B games. Martin said he considered
using Righetti as a starter until the
Yankees signed John Candelaria. "He
won't be a starter this year," Martin

said of his stopper .
Mike Pagliarulo will hit righthanded against some left-handed
pitchers. Pagliarulo hit .230 against
left-handers and .236 against righthanders last year. "He's a natural
ri ght-handed hitter," Martin said.
Pagliarulo, who switch-hit in college, said, "Left-handed is more natural. You know the way things are
around here. Things can always
change. I'll do it. You have to be ready
for everything here."
Dave Winfield will bat second
against some right-handed pitchers.
The idea is lhat Winfiel d will see more
fastballs balling behind Rickey Henderson. "If they want to throw curveballs, fine," Martin said. "We'll steal
second and third."
Don Slaught, generally thought to
be the No. 1 catcher, will compete
with Rick Ceronc and Joel Skinner for
the job. "I wouldn 't say we have a
regular catcher right now," Martin
said. "It depends on who hits and who
does the job like I want. I'm looking
more toward calling a game and
throwing people out than who hits."
Martin said Roberto Kelly would bc
his everyday center fielder, "but I
want to let him know he's still got to
earn the job."
The team 's weakest link is its
middle relief , he said. "I need a lefthander to get left-handers out," Martin said. "We'll put emphasis on (Pat)
Clements and guys like that."
Martin said the Yankees need a lefthanded hitter, "one guy to come off
the bench and scare the opponent. I

would be surprised if that person isn t
here before we break camp."
Martin intends to play aggressively
in spring training and throughout the
season, with "suicide squeezes, stealing home, pickoff plays, bringing the
infield in. We're going to be aggressive knocking thc shortstop and second baseman down, which we have
not been good at recently. But we used
to be."
Martin said he was better prepared
to deal with the inevitable intrusions
of owner George Steinbrenner.
Players will wear ties while traveling, including to and from the stadium. "We may have to bring that up
at the first captains-manager meeting," Ron Guidry said.
Martin also said he expected Gary
Ward , who has no defined role with
the team, "to be unhappy. No question
about that. But you never know what
can happen with injuries."
Martin 's fifth term as Yankee
manager, and first spring-training
camp since 1983, officially begins
Friday with a workout of pitchers and
catchers. The Yankees also have requested that Pagliarulo, Wayne Tolle-

son and Jack Clark begin workouts
Friday.Pagliarulo underwent off-season elbow surgery, Tolleson had
shoulder surgery and Clark is recovering from an ankle sprain.
Guidry, who underwent off-season
shoulder surgery, displayed obvious
bitterness toward the Yankees regarding the injury. Guidry said he believed
his shoulder trouble was related to his
late start last season. Guidry did not
re-sign with the Yankees last year
unuTMay 1. He made his first appearance for them 23 days later. "I got
ready in four weeks when I normally
have six or seven," Guidry said. "I
might never have had this problem if
the contract had been taken care of
(earlier). I can 't prove that, but I don 't
think the other side can say it didn 't
have anything to do with it." Guidry,
who started tossing two weeks ago, is
not expected to be ready to pitch until
mid-May.
Rick Rhoden said he had been
throwing without discomfort since
December. Rhoden suffered a deep
bruise in his right shoulder Aug. 19,
when he was hit by a line drive. He did
not pitch effectively after that.

we know the history of the source."
"I don 't believe that young man
took those drugs," Hillsman said.
There were nods and murmurs of
agreement throughout the overflowing congregation. "I plan to ask the
state's attorney to look into that."
Williams could not be reached
Thursday.
Police said Marshall died early
Saturday morning about 2 hours after
running from two officers who approached him while he was standing
and talking to the occupants of a car in
the 1400 block of Nova Avenue, five
blocks from the church where funeral
services were held. Marshall ran into
two other officers , police said , and
sometime during that run , he swallowed six chunks of crack, a powerful
cocaine derivative often smoked in a
pipe.
Police said Marshall was arrested at
the same location Dec. 22 and charged
with possessing cocaine with intent to
distribute. A juveni le at the time, he
was released to his mother's custody,
police said. His father, Leroy
Marshall, has denied the police account.
Microscopic examination of Rico
Marshall' s heart tissue for evidence of
previous drug use will be conducted
early next week, according to Dr.
Charles Kokes, acting deputy chief
Maryland medical examiner.
State medical examiner John Smialek said this week that initial results
show that Marshall died of cocaine
intoxication .
Although there is no evidence to

dispute the police account ofhis arrest
in December or the events immediately before his death , some of
Marshall's friends remained unconvinced Thursday lhat the star footbal l
player was involved in drugs.
"I don't think drugs were a part of
his life. I know drugs were not a part
of his life," Valleo Simmons, one of
Marshall 's football teammates, said
as he walked into the church.
"I still think there's something to
it," he said, adding that he believes
others may have forced Marshall to
swallow the crack. Simmons, 18,
declined to explain why he thinks that.
That Rico Marshall, poised to play
football for the University of South
Carolina next fall, was laid to rest at
the height of his accomplishments
was a poignant reminder to a community under siege that another young
life had been snuffed out by cocaine.
Marshall's father told the mourners
that he was prompted to stand after
hearing a young friend sing "It 's So
Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday."
I sat there while Anji was singing
and Rico came to me and said, 'Dad,
I want you to say something,' " he
said. "Rico was proud and I loved him
and ... he would love this, he would
love this."
The minister's message against
drugs seemed to affect some members
of the gathering. Outside the sanctuary in the vestibule stood a lone young
man in aleather suitand fur jacket. His
eyes were clear.
"My hustling days are over," he
said to no one in particular.

Women Huskies win school
Temple
proves it is Bloomsburg's tenth win in a row gives
number one Huskies PSAC Eastern Division title
FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
Now, maybe people will keep
quiet.
Temple, the nation 's number
one basketball team went to
Chapel Hill and defeated (destroyed, demolished , or otherwise
overwhelmed) North Carolina, the
number five team in the nation.
Yes, that powerhouse from thc
Atlantic 10 conference pretty
much dispelled all those rumors
that they play a 'weak' schedule
and barely beat thc teams they do
play.
A good examp le of this, these
non-believers say, is Penn State.
Thc Owls onl y beat the Nittany
Lions by a point. One lousy point.
Heck , when Villanova beat
Geargetown by a point in thc national championship game nobody
said, "Sorry, you guys aren 't National Champions."
Still , skeptics say if tlie Penn
State game doesn 't demonstrate
the fact that thc Owls don 't deserve their ranking then nothing
does.
I disagree.
Sure, Temple plays some teams
that won 't bs in the top 64 come
March. George Washington , St.
Josephs and another Saint I can 't
even spell arc good examples of
these types of teams.
Still , if they play the Owls
tough, they can 't be that bad. For
proof , I can only offer the two
toughest games that Temple has
had , UNLV and North Carolina.
They played both of these teams
away, and played both teams
lough.
At UNLV, Temple controlled
thc majority of thc game, before
the Runnin * Rebels pulled out a
close victory in thc last five seconds of the game. A last chance
inbounds play by Temple failed
and thc Owls had the first , and
only, loss.
Then , against really their first
test since becoming number one,
the Owls hung close through a first
half which they played almost
entirely without their mighty
freshman, Mark Macon.
Macon was on the bench with
two fouls for the first half , but
when he made his appearance in
the second half , 19 straight
Temple points turned a Tarheel
five point lead into a Temple 14
point rout.
The story of the whole game was
turnovers. Chaney said that if the
Owls commited more than 14
turnovers they would lose to North
Carolina. They committed eight.
They won.
By contrast, North Carolina
committed 27 turnovers. There is
just no way you can have that
many turnovers and still win a ball
game against a team of Temple's
calibre.
Despite the win, there will still
be some skeptics out there and deservedly so. The ones who deserve
to be skeptical are the ones who
know the game.
It's just like Craig Kishel said,
"They are the best team in the nation and deserve to be number one,
but they are still overrated."
Bingo.
It seems that most people, who
are hesitant to admit that Temple is
the best team in the nation , get infuriated when they are told so by
everyone on every station.
They can take solace in one fact,
though , the tournament will be
rolling around in a couple weeks
and then Temple will have to
prove they can play with the big
boys. Rankings in the regular season mean nothing.
The bottom line?
The number one team beat the
number five team and remained
number one.
Fortunately, they beat them by
more than one point.

Senior nigh t was especially important for the women Huskies, as thc 7444 victory over visiling Mansfield set
a scho"*l record 20 wins, tied a school
record for 10 wins in a row, and
clinched thc Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division title.
Pam Bressi , Carla Shearer and
Amy Wolf also played tficir last home
games as Huskies as the three seniors
prepare to lead thc Huskies inlo thc
playoffs for their last lime.
Theresa Lorenzi scorcd a gamehigh 28 points and Nina Alston
chipped in 11 as tlie Huskies outplayed the Mountaineers in every
aspect of thc game.
A young Mansfield team , who just
recentl y won their first conference
game against East Stroudsburg ,
started three freshman and only had
one senior on their roster.
The young Mouniics struggled
early to keep close to thc Huskies, but
when their outstanding freshman
guard , Sondra Tracy went out in the
first half with a knee injury,
Bloomsburg turned the close game
into a rout and led at halftime, 39-19.
ManSfield head coach Joe French
said , "They (Bloomsburg) are thc best
club in the conference and the best
club we've played this year."
French felt that if his team could
stay out of foul trouble, slow thc pace
down and play patient on offense his
team would have a chance to stay
close.
Mansfield did all these things, but
the one thing they couldn 't do was put
the ball in the basket. Thc Mounties
shot a horrendous 26 percent in the
first half compared to thc Huskies

who shot an incredible 54 percent.
One of llie factors that kept Mansfield close was the play of Lisa Sherman. Sherm an 's scoring earl y kept
the game close until Joe Bressi sent
his troops into a zone defense and
nullified Sherman 's mobility which
cut down hcr open jump shots.
When thc Huskies came out for the
second half , Mansfield was a little
more ready to play . The Mounties
made a small run but weren 't able to
mount any substantial comeback and
fell 74-44.
French said ,"The game was a tough
one, I think wc saw the two best freshman guard s in the conference play
tonight in (Sondra) Tracy and (Nina)
Alston. They will certainly be a force
to bc reckoned with in the nex t few
years."
Thc best sign for the Huskies as
they ready for East Stroudsburg and
thc playoffs, was thc play of Amy
Wolf. "Amy 's been playing better
lately. She is doing a real good job
with thc time lhat she is in there. We
need hcr size in there," Bressi said of
the senior center.
Wolf had eight points and 10 rebounds lo go along with her three
blocked shots.
Also a good sign for the upcoming
playoffs was Carla Shearer. Shearer
was 2-4 from the field and ended up
with six points but that wasn't what
impressed Bressi , "Carla is solid. She
plays a solid game all the time and
works hard when she is in there. It was
good for her to do well tonight."
Some other players also impressed
Bressi , "Barb (Hall) had a nice game
tonight , even though she didn 't score
a lol of points (she finished with five),
I thought Donna Cooper (four points ,

Joe Stepanski scorcd 18 points including four three pointers to lead thc
Bloomsburg University Huskies to a
91-73 victory over the Mansfield
University Mountaineers .
It was the last home game for
Stepanski and Matt Wilson as both
are seniors and will not be back next
year. Both played in grand style early
in the game to help tlie Huskies build
a large lead.
The Huskies jumped out on Mansfield early in the game by starting the
game with a 25-10 run. Stepanski hit
three of his four three-pointers in that
run while Matt Wilson scored eight
points. Dave Carpenter also pulled

down many offensive and defensive
rebounds to help the cause in lhe first
half as Bloomsburg out-rebounded
Mansfield 30-16 in thc half and 53-32
for thc game.
Both teams played relativel y even
the rest ofthe half with strong play by
Craig Philli ps for thc Huskies and Joe
Bergmann for the Mountaineers who
scorcd eight points in the first half to
keep his team in thc game as
Bloomsburg carried a 40-27 lead into
halftime.
The Huskies opened thc second
half wilh a 20-12 run to dash any hope
Mansfield had of a comeback and
build a 21 point lead of 60-39 with
11:50 to go in the game. Bloomsburg
coach Charlie Chronister then rotated

five rebounds) did a real good job and
Karen DcLullo (two steals) played
good defense. Between those four
girls, wc have to get good playing
time out of them ."
Depth of thc bench played a key
role last night and throughout the
entire season. "We weren't as deep as
ihey were," French said , "Our young
playcrsjustarcn 't ready yet , while Joe
(Bressi) has ten people he can play at
any given time."
"That is our advantage," Bressi
said , "You could see how tired Mansfield was at halftime. We have people
who can go in there and play and we
don 't lose anything when we come off
thc bench. That is a big key for us. We
are running and running and still
keeping fresh people in there."
Thc win improves Bloomsburg's
record to 20-5 overall and 9-1 in thc
PSAC East.
Thc Huskies now prepare to take on
East Stroudsburg litis Wednesday,
then have ten days off before thc playoffs begin. "We have to bc careful
how wc use it (the break).We have to
get rest but wc can 't lose the momentum ," Bressi said.

If you were watching the Olympics
this past week you had to be moved by
the story of Dan Jansen. If you have
not been watching here is the story.
Before the start of the Olympics ,
Jansen 's sister, Jane, was suffering
from leukemia.
The family knew that she would
soon die and Jansen told his sister that
he would skip out on the Olympics
which he trained his whole life for and
stay at home to be with her. Jane told
her brother to go to Calgary and
compete, not necessarily win, but
compete.
Jensen then dedicated his Olympic
efforts to his sister. ABC picked up on
the story and even sent a crew to
Jansen 's home in West Allis, Wise,
to cover Jane's reaction as she
watched her brother race.
Then last Sunday morning, the day

of Jansen s first event the 500M race,
Jansen received a phone call from
home. The phone call was to inform
Jansen that his sister would not last
much longer and allow him to talk to
her.
She could not respond to him , but
he knew that she could understand
him. A few hours later, right before
Jansen was to compete, he received
another call from home, his sister
pasted away.
In the true spirit of the Olympics
and in memory of his sister, Jansen
did compete in the SOOM event, an
event he was expected to win. But he
fell in the first turn and was disqualified from the race. Jansen flung his
arms in the air as if to say "what else
can happen to me today."
Letters poured in to Jansen from all
over the world and from other athletes
in condolence.
Some members of his family then

came to Calgary to watch Jansen
compete in the 1000M event on
Thursday night.
Jansen was skating the race of his
life. He was on a world record pace.
Then tragedy struck.
On the last lap, Jansen fell again
and you could see the agony in his
face and you could feel a tear come to
your eye as you watched this unfold
on television.
Jansen went to the infield and received a hug from his fiance, Natalie
Grenier, a Canadian speedskater.
Teammates also gave Jansen money
to start a trust fund for his late sister's
daughters.
Jansen did not finish either race but
was a winner in our hearts as he overcame impossible odds and gave his
best.
Dan Jansen, a true Olympian , and
my early vote as 1988 Sportsman of
the Year.
