Questions regarding Bloomsburg's
recycling program effectiveness were
raised at this month 's Town-Gown
meeting.
Town Councilwoman Florence
Thompson, who said that program
participation has declined in recent
years, commented that the university
participated well in 1983 (when the
program was made mandatory
through a municipal ordinance) and

that she spoke with all university
department seccrtaries about the recycling of office waste papers.
Thompson said that although recyclable materials saved from university dorms are not available for collection, an investi gation of the situation
is underway, and collection will resume when the problem is found.
Concerning student participation ,
Thompson said that students seemed
positive about recycling but did not
realize it was a law .

CGA explored the possiblities of
extended hours for the Health Center,
and three potential comedy acts for
the spring semester.
The Senate also gave approval to
several allocations. The Bloomsburg
University Concert Choir requested
more than $4,000 to travel to Quebec
to give several performances at the
end of the spring semester.
A similar request by Women 's
Choral Ensemble for about $400 was
approved for a tour of Boston.

BU sophomore arraigned for theft

by Leon Bogdan
Press-Enterprise staff
Two policemen interrupted a sociology class atBloomsburg University
Friday to look for a sludent suspected
of theft , prompting a professor 's formal complaint and an investigation by
school officials.
"One of our concerns is lo keep it
from happening again ," said Sociology Department chairwoman Sue
Jackson. "It's very disruptive to all
concerned."
Bloomsburg Police Chief Larry
Smith defended the search by his officer and a BU Law Enforcement officer.
He said police acted within the law
and only go on campus as a "last
resort." Smilh said police have made
similar classroom arrests and will do
so again if necessary.
"This isn't the 38th parallel in the
Korean War where one can jump over
to the other side," he said.
But state police Sgt. Joseph
Donelly, who commands the
Bloomsburg barracks, said it is
"highly unusual" for police to enter a
class to serve an arrest warrant.
"It's not our policy to go into a
classroom itself," he said. "It's highly
unusual for our people to go into a
classroom unless it's a real emergency. You could talk to a professor
and have him bring the guy out. Get
the kid outside if you have a warrant
for him."

CGA Executive Representative
Tim Kurtz said, "Its a matter of habit.
The students come here from all over,
and aren 't used to recycling at
home.... If the law was enforced by
landlords and the university, in a year
or two, recycling would become
common practice."
Thompson said, "Recycling is easy
and only takes two minutes per week.
It 's a matter of not putting the stuff
together in the first place.
"If students find they don 't have
space to store the materials, there are
drop-off shelters in town at Weis
Market and the Hospital parking lot,"
she said.
Curbside collections are held on the
third Saturday of each month.
The materials to be separated are
cardboard , newspaper and clear and
colored glass bottles.
Pamphlets are available at the

Town Hall for further information.
Volunteer Recycling Inc. (VRI), a
non-profit organization which serves
Columbia County, operates curbside
collection in seven munici palities.
VRI, 10-years-old in March, was
started by Department of Enviromental Resources and Pennsylvania Resource Commission grants.
Thompson , the founding and current president of VRI, explained that
concern that the Columbia County
landfill would close in 1977 , a meeting was held and a task force was
appointed.
Originally VRI was a pilot program
to see if recycling could work in rural
areas.
Itis staffed by six full-time employees, aided by community volunteers
on collection days, and welcomes
volunteers from university and community groups.
She added that scholarships are
available for students looking into
careers in recycling by calling is 1800-346-4242.
Concerning the program , Thompson said, "It's been very successful.... If it can work in Bloomsburg, it
can work anywhere.
"It would not have been possible
without the cooperation of the state,
county, town and individuals who
make it work." she said.

Retraction

As editor of The Voice, I would like to extend an apology to the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha.
In the Feb. 22 issue of The Voice, a letter to the editor submitted by Franklin Sellers con tainted false
information presented as fact.
According to Dean Robert Norton , the fraternit y was not pla ced on probation for violating i.nfj ha/ing laws last semester , and was in good standing with the university at the " time of the raid on
their mixer.
The false information was printed as an oversight and not meant to be malicious. However, it is
the responsibility of the editor-in-chief to screen all letters to be sure all information presented as
fact is true.
Letters to the editor are meant to be op inion , supported by fact. There is a definate difference
between the two. It seems Mr. Sellers took it upon himself to assume something to be true.
Although the final blame rests with me, I would appreciate future writers to be careful when
including facts in their letters so embarrassment to innocent people can be avoided .
Finally , I would like to thank Lambda Chi for the respectfu l way the situation was handled.
Karen Reiss
„
Editor-in-chief
P.S. Mr. Sellers. Next time you submit a letter , please refe r to the editorial policy first. Since I am
responsible for eve rything printed , I reserve the option to edit as I see fit and "take it upon myself
to decide what is important and what is not.''

You arc obviousl y confused about

First of all , Frank , the university is

does not work fast enough for you.
This is not a case of the university
trying to wi pe out local fraternities on
campus. It is simply a difference in
circumstances surrounding the LCB
raids.
Contrary to your claim that we were
already on probation for violating
anti-hazing laws, Lambda Chi was in
good standing with the university at
the time of the raid. You stand corrected.
We were not in the woods with kegs

We do agree with you on one point,

two of our fraternity houses.
Although the university 's Code of
Conduct and laws regarding alcohol
have not changed, enforcement efforts have increased significantly.
In the past, the Liquor Control
Board was responsible for enforcement of laws relating to alcohol . This
fall , enforcement responsibility was
transferred to the Pennsylvania State
Police. Since they have assumed this
role, the State Police have stepped up
alcohol enforcement activities.
These actions have resulted in arrests at two of our fraternity houses
and at least one local tavern. As a
result , more than 170 Bloomsburg
University students are painfully
aware that the Pennsylvania Stale
Police are serious about carrying out
their new enforcement responsibility.
It is clear, from these actions and
from the new laws regarding hazing,
that there is widespread concern regarding the dangers inherent in the
use and abuse of alcohol , and in the
hazing practices of some groups.
Be assured that the administration

of Bloomsburg University considers
th ese issues to be very serious and will
continue our educational programming on these top ics. We have concurrent responsibility to take appropriate discip linary action when our
Code of Conduct is violated.
As part of these efforts, we are
working to be sure you are aware of
both individual responsibilities and
the legal ramifications of violating
policy and/or the law.
We have invited Sgt. Ronald Barto
of the Pennsylvania State Police to
campus to discuss the position of the
State Police with regard to their enforcement activities and to answer
any questions you may have.
Please watch The Voice for the time
and place of that meeting.
Thank you in advance for your
cooperation. If you have any questions , please feel free to contact my
office.

Men only clubs are big business

by Ellen Goodman
Editorial Columnist
Those who have never entered the
inner sanctum of an all-male club are
likely to envision it as the exclusive,
wood-paneled retreat of the elite .
There are the very late George Apley
and his cronies , resplendent in
tweeds, still sit in leather wing chairs,
puffing pipes, rising onl y occasionally to toast good fellowship and
lament the loss of the gold standard.
But this vintage 19th-century scene
has been updated. On any given day,
such a club is not just hosting George
and his unreconstructed pals. It 's
probably serving breakfast to the law
form of Biddle , Biddle and Fiddle,
lunch to the monthl y meeting of the
investment bankers and dinner to the
state insurance associauon.
In the twilight of the 20th century,
the most vaunted pri vate clubs are
also in the business of business. The
women excluded from membership
or banned from the premises, women
who aren 't allowed to sit in the lobby
or walk through the front door, are
penalized in doing business with the
boys.
So, on Tuesday, the Supreme Court
is going to hear what might be called
The Last Bastion Case. It is listed

formally as New York State Club
Association v. City of New York. It
will test the constitutionality of a law,
already copied in at least half a dozen
other cities, that would force these
clubs to choose - gasp - between
admitting women or giving up
money.
This choice is not just an arbitrary
one, your money or your manhood.
Under the Constitution, any group of
Americans has the right to private
association. If the blue-eyed , righthanded , bird lovers of Wisconsin
want to form an exclusive club for the
purposes of warbling, the government cannot force them to open up the
premises to brown-eyed, left-handed
cat fanciers.
More to the point, any group of
males, young boys or old boys, can
freely build their plywood clubhouse
and post a sign: NO GIRLS ADMITTED. Any group of girls can do the
same thing. But if a pri vate club gets
involved in public , commercial activity, how long can it go on claiming the
rights of "private association"?
The New York law says that a club
stops being private and starts being
subject to public laws - including
those against discrimination- - if it has
more than 400 members, provides

regular meal service and gets regular
money from non-members "in furtherance of business or trade." Most
of the rich and famous clubs do ju st
that.
In 1980, 37 percent of city-club income and 26 percent of country-club
incomes in America came from memberships that were paid by businesses .
Companies paid men to belong to
clubs that barred their female colleagues. It 's estimated that 85 percent
of the money spent at these same
clubs was treated as business expense, so that taxpayers also supported "private clubs."
Columbia Law Professor Jack
Greenburg, author of the law, made
this careful distinction , "If it's a club
where people hang out, are affable
and drink port it's not covered." But if
it's the Century Club and assorted
other last bastion of New York business, it is.
This case goes to the Supreme
Court at something of an historic
moment. Justice Blackmun recently
resigned from one all-male club. The
brand new Justice Kennedy resi gned
from another all-male club. A third
Justice, O'Connor, was once barred
from an all-male club.
It was Justice O'Connor who wrote

the decision that opened up the Jaycees and Rotary : "When a club enters
the marketplace of commerce in any
substantial degree, it loses the complete control over its membership that
it would otherwise enjoy if it confined
its affairs to the marketplace of
ideas." Do I hear a bell knolling over
the Century Club door?
The issue of integrating clubs is
often seen as one of those elitist matters of importance only to a handful of
already privileged women like the
late George Apley 's granddaughter, a
Princeton graduate and corporate
lawyer. But as any woman who has
ever been excluded from a lunch
meeting or forced to go through a side
door to join her companions can tell
you, they are a real part of the fabric of
business in America.
In that sense, this is not an attack on
single-sex associations. There are allmale and all-female environments,
segregated retreats, coffee klatches
and clubs, that sustain many of us. But
business is not private and professions are not an all-male club. And
clubs that pocket profits from business cannot run for the protection of
privacy. The law before the Supreme
Court says simply: They can't have it
both ways anymore.

Lebanese abductors arrested

by Nora Boustany

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Local security officials and independent military observers in southern Lebanon said Tuesday that three men
involved in the kidnapp ing of U.S. Marine Lt. Col.
William Hi ggins have been arrested , but gave no encouragement that it mi ght lead to the officer's release.
Daoud Daoud , a commander of the ShiitcAmal militia ,
confirmed that two participants in the abduction , as well
as a third man who was carrying a letter from Beirut to the
kidnapers with orders to bring Higgins to the Lebanese
capital, were arrested by Amal last Wednesday, the same
day the abduction took place near the southern port city
of Tyre.
The courier was not able to deliver his message, Daoud
added.
The Amal commander said his militia knew the name
of the mastermind of the kidnapping, but had been unable
to locate him. He declined to identify the suspect or the
three men being held.
Amal security sources said they suspected Higgins was
being held in the village of Jibshcet, about 15 miles
northeast of Tyre.
Hezbollah gunmen have fanned out in a cordon around
the village, where there is heavy Iranian influence and a
fervently religious population .
The gunmen prevented Amal and reporters from approaching the small town. Last Friday, Amal militiamen
searched Jibshcet and took in a few men for questioning.

A security official i.i Tyre said Tuesday that "two of the
kidnappers who were in the front car and a third person
supposedly monitoring Higgins' movements were arrested, but the abduction was a very elaborate and professional operation and involved five cars.
"The kidnappers switched their hostage from a Volvo to
a pickup truck, then to a Mercedes 280, and then the trail is
lost," he added.
The group that said it abducted Higgins, the Organization
for the Oppressed on Earth , has accused the 43-year-old
Marine of being a Central Intelligence Agency operative
under United Nations cover.
Higgins heads the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization
in Lebanon.
U.N. Undersecretary General Marrack Goulding has
described the allegation as "nonsense."
Confirmation by thePentagon of reports that Higgins had
been an aide to former secretary of defense Caspar W.
Weinberger and press reports that the officer had a high
security clearance have minimized chances for his release,
according to U.N. sources.
"This has been a very serious setback, especially if you
understand how the minds of these kidnappers work ," said
one official involved in the investigation. "They now think
they have a gold mine, with a shortage of foreigners in
Beirut and the stream of information on the man. The kidnappers probabl y think they have the top man in the CIA
and they will try to get as much as they can for him from the
. .
highest bidder," he added . .;

Boycott threatens
Arab peace shuttle
by Dan Fisher

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The threatened Palestinian boycott
of a proposed meeting wilh Secretary
of State George P. Shullz during the
American official' s planned Middle
East peace shuttle later this week has
underlined a deep-seated Arab distrust of U.S. policy and added to
doubts about any hoped-for breakthrough in the peace process.
Shultz wants to meet Friday with
Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip,
where 11 weeks of unrest have resulted in at least 61 deaths and the
explosive return of the Palestinian
issue into the international headlines.
Instead of reveling in what may
appear as the first importan t chance to
translate their success on the streets
into more permanent political gains,
however, the Palestinians are threatening to boycott Shulti unless he
agrees to unprecedented ground rules
issued by the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
The PLO has insisted on approving
any Palestinian delegates to the meeting with Shultz , and opposes any
meeting that does not include representatives of the approximately 3
million Palestinians living outside
Israel and the occupied territories.
Palestinian leaders confirmed the
PLO demands here Tuesday and
pledged that no West Bank or Gaza
Strip personality would meet with
Shultz without PLO approval.
Diplomatic sources, meanwhile,
suggested that the American side is
also digging in and threatening to cast
the Palestinians into the role of peace
process spoilers unless they back
down from the PLO demands and
agree to a meeung.
U.S. special envoy Wat T.
Cluverius reportedly warned the
group that "the train of the peace
process has started , and whoever fails
to get on board will be the loser."
And another diplomatic source who
spoke on condition of anonymity said
in an interview Tuesday lhat "whoever says 'no' first will take the responsibility for seeing the whole
(Shultz initiative) fall apart."

While some Palestinians here are
clearly worried that they may wind up
being blamed for any failure of the
Shultz mission , others say they have
heard similar American statementsin
the past.
And the latter dismiss the warnings
as a ploy intended to help impose a
"Pax Americana"that falls far short of
Palestinian goals.
Arabs believe so strongly that U.S.
Middle East policy is held hostage to
Israeli interests that some even claim
thcentireShultzpeaceshuttle is structured purposely so that the Palestinians will emerge as the bad guys, th us
helping to repair the damage Israel
has suffered to its worldwide image
since the unrest began in early December.
"Everyone is fed up wilh American
policy," said Ziad abu Zayed, a
prominent Palestinian editor from
East Jerusalem and one of those
whose names have been mentioned as
possible interlocutors for Shultz.
"We feel we have paid a very expensive price, and as a result we think
we should get something substantial."
according to Zayed.
"Palestinians question Shultz 's
good will," added another East
Jerusalem source who requested anonymity. "If he had such good will, he
would have tried to solve our problem
before (more than) 60 Palestinians
died."
On Tuesday, Hanna Siniora, editor
of the East Jerusalem-based, pro-PLO
dail y Al Fajr and the man reportedly
designated by the PLO as its go-between for the Shultz mission, reportedly told American officials that a
delegation of Palestinians from the
territories and from outside were
ready to meet theU.S. official in some
Arab or Western capital.
The PLO has reportedly made it
clear that while it insists on approving
any delegates to a Shultz meeting,
those representatives do not have to
be PLO members.
The United States is committed to
Israel not to meet with PLO members
until the organization renounces terrorism and officially recognizes
Israel's right to exist.

Rugby club begins
season with game
at Susquehanna

by Lynne Ernst
Features Edito r
Rugby, a game where mere arc no
time-outs, no substititions , and no
protective gear. Kicking, dribbling,
lateral passing and tackling arc permitted , and players must always wear
shorts. It is a rugged sport
But insp itc of the roug hness of
rugby, approximatel y 25 BU men
comprise the newly founded "Rugby
club. The club , formed by Jason
Bardslcy and Mike Kantor has recentl y been gra n ted "Recognition
Status " by the Eastern Pennsylvania
Rugby Union.
Officers for the club are Bardslcy;
president , John Capoilli; vice-president , Kantor; match secretary, Ray
Matty; treasurer , Joe Brann ; secretary , and William Koch; advisor.
The first organizational practice for
the players was last semester. Currentl y, the members arc in the organizational stages of purchasing uniforms and building up their account.
Practices for the team mn three
times a week , lasting an hour to two
hours. Matty says, "Since a lot of our
team has never played rugby before,
we have to work on the skills that need
to be acquired. "

Games planned for the '88 season
arc Susquehanna , Kulztown , Dickenson , Muhlenberg, Wilkes , and Valley
Forge Military. The team's season
will open on Feb. 27 with a home
game against Susquahanna.
Also, an invitation was extended to
the team to participate in the Spring
Sports Festival in Daytona. But , because of the team 's inexperience and
lack of funds , the trip will be a fulurc
goal. Bardslcy, who has been play ing
the game for five ycarssaid , "Anyone
can play rugby. You don 'l have to be
bi g."
Rugby consists of a team of 15 men;
eight backs, similar to linemen in
football and seven backs, equivalent
to receivers and backs in football. The
point system is based on a tie, which is
worth four points , a penally kick
worth 3 points , and a drop kick worth
three.
Each half is 30 minutes long, wilh a
five minute halftime , and only a limited number of substitutions arc allowed for injury. Matty remarks "If
you 're tired , that 's toug h. You have to
be in shape."
Wilh a strong, dedicated team
working to "get in shape" the Rugby
Club is headed in the right direc tion.

walks on me, he said in a recent
inlervicw here.
O'Neal is Mr. Macho. Just ask
him. "At the risk of sounding conceited ," he bragged , "I helped bring
masculinity back into the music industry. I'm the people's choice , a
man 's man. People want to see a real
man up there . They don 't wani fakes.
They 've been fooled long enough."
Bui tins macho man docs have his
soft side. Though one might think he
is a carousing ladies' man , O'Neal is
married, wilh three childrcn_and another on the way.
"At first there was concern about
whal being a family man would do to
my image ," he said. "I' m supposedly
this sexy ballad singe r, so it would
help if I was single. But I' m a famil y
man and I' m proud of it. I don 't care
who knows it. "
"Hearsay " is a clever concept album , featuring meaty, angry songs
about combating lies and rumors. The
danccablc "Fake," the album 's bi ggest hil , is atypical of the smoldering
ballads on the album . Eager to avoid
being stereotyped as a balladcer ,
O'Neal played up "Fake." "I'm a
funkstcr first and foremost ," he said.
"I can do songs like 'Fake' very well ."
He noted that his hi gh , passiondrenched voice is not the result of
training. He did not even sing in
church ("Too shy back then ," he
admitted '1,.
That voice, he boasted, just comes
naturall y: "It's a gift , a God-given
gift."
Even though he was aware of this
"gift " while growing up in a Mississippi town , O'Neal never planned to
be a singer. Football was going to be
his career.

But , after two years of playing linebacker at Mississi ppi' s Alcorn Suite
in the earl y '70s, he quit.
"School just wasn 't for me," he
said. "I wasn 't ready for it. I had too
many personal problems. I was
scarred from growing up dirt poor in
Mississippi . My life had been roug h.
... I needed the kind of suppon my
family couldn 't provide. I just had to
get away from Mississi ppi." It turned
out Chicago , his next stop, was not the
answer cither. But he later loiind
heaven , Minneapolis , his hom e for the
last 15 years. After a series of uneventful odd jobs, he turned to his
singing gift as his salvation.
In the late '70s, he was working the
Minneapolis black-club circuit w hen
he hooked up with a band called the
Time, which featured Jimmy Jam and
Terry Lewis. Eventually tin's band
was offered a job backing up Prince ,
who was blossoming into Minneapolis ' pop-music honcho. But Prince did
not want O'Neal.
O'Neill said the problem was
that he was loudl y lobbying for the
band to keep drummer Jell ybean
Johnson , who was supposedly in
danger of being fired. "But I lobbied
myself out of a job ,"
O'Neal said. "I was out and he
was in." That was one time , he acknowledged , that he was done in by
his big mouth. "If I had shut up I
would probabl y have been the band's
lead singer."
O'Neal admitted he was hurt and
bitter at being left out: "I didn 't like
the way it was done. Prince never told
me himself. Terry (Lewis) told me.
The only animosity I held against
Prince is that he wasn 't man enough to

The lucrative R&B-ballad arena ,
where big, ruggedl y handsome black
singers croon slow , sexy songs to
swooning young women was the
exclusive turf of Luther Vandross
until Freddie Jackson barged in a few
years ago.
But while Vandross and Jackson
were divvying up the turf , another singer muscled in. Ever heard of Alexander O'Neal?
If you haven 't, you will. He started
slowly in 1985, his first Tabu-CBS
Records album , "Alexander O'Neal ,"
selling more than 300,000 copics._
That album , which flashed his star

Both were produced by Jimmy Jam

name masterminding Jancl Jackson 's
multimillion-selling album , "Control ."
Since "Hearsay" came out last year,
there has been a bi g buzz in the black
community about O'Neal , who many
think is an overni ght success. "Overnight? ," laug hed O'Neal, 34. "I' ve

publicist. The best chronicler of
O'Neal's talents is O'Neal. O'Neal
does not see himself as arrogant, just
very confident.
Confidence , he insisted , is a necessity in this business and is almost as
crucial as talent: "Wilhout it , you 'll be

Savage returns to teach and take classes

by Susa n Sugra
Staff Writer
Richard C. Savage, an ambitious
man who opened the doors of journalism at Bloomsburg University in the
1960's, retired in the spring of 1985
after 25 years of teaching at the university.
He chose to leave while still in
"good spirits." Not man y expected
him to return. But , last, semester Savage returned to B.U as a teacher - and
a student.
Since his retirement, he has once
again become involved in the university. In addition to teaching a feature
writing class this semester, he is enrolled in a physics course. After taking two years off to "play around", he
admits that now he has found the best
of both worlds..
Upon his arrival in 1960 ,
Bloomsburg was in the process of
changing from a teachers * college to a
state college. Journ alism courses
were not offered , and Savage considered this to be "quite an oversight."

The Voice , then called the Maroon
and Gold , was published twice a
month . However, B.U. lacked a program to train the staff. Savage persuaded ihe administration to realize
that at ieast one journalism course
needed to be offered. Within a year,
the academic dean and the department
chairperson began approving courses
one at a time.
Since then he can be credited with
introducing seven mass communication undergraduate courses to the
curriculum: Introduction to Journalism, Feature Writing, Mass Communications, Editing, and Journalism
Seminar. Photo-Joumalism has been
approved and may be taught in the
near future.
Savage acted as advisor to The
Voice for 22 years. "The paper was the
greatest pleasure I had here." But ,
after the freedom of the press disputes
in the 1960s and 1970s, Savage says
he lost his "steam", and told the staff
they would be better off with someone
younger.

But The Voice staff would not accept his resignation . He stayed three
more years until his retirement. He
has witnessed the changes in The
Voice , and is proud to say that man y of
his students have become successful
professionals.
When Savage enlisted in the Navy
during World War II, he never
planned on being a teacher. "Entering
the teaching profession was actually
accidental. But I found I really liked
it," says Savage. While in ihe Navy,
he was in charge of education and
recreation. "Some of my duties included taking care of the library, arranging films to be shown, and getting
teams together for athletic events."
After the war, he received a BA
from the University of North Carolina , and a MA from j Columbia University.
Then he worked for newspapers
across the country, such as the Minneapolis Star, Springfield Union , and
The Holyoke Transcript. He was also .
assistant editor at The Saturday Eve-

ning Post horn 1958-2960.
In 1960, Savage accepted a job
offer at B.U. and moved to a 165-acre
farm on the south side of the
Susquehanna River .
Savage, who calls himself a tree
farmer , planted approximatel y 8,000
seedlings years ago, which are now 20
feet high .
An attachment to the outdoors has
kept Savage young at heart. He loves
to spend time hiking through the
woods, fishing, and skiing.
His interest in fiction writing influenced his desire to learn about physics. "Ordinary language is no longer
adequate to describe the world around
us. Some things can be communicated
accurately onl y through the language
of mathematics ," says Savage.
Savage says that after 35 years of
work, he's "keeping active, but not
busy." His involvement in the university hel ps him to keep his life on an
"enjoyable time schedule" so he can
continue to learn more about the
world around him.

The Southern Trek adventure lo
North Carolina will be coordinated by
Rich Hclmuth , QUEST'S logistics
coordinator and recent graduate of
Radford University in Virginia. He
says, "The format of this trip will be
more flexible than most of our trips. In
this way, partici pants arc able to have
input in the planning of their adventures." Hclmuth adds , "As far as how
many days will be spent on each activity, that will pretty much be left up to
the decision of all the participants."
Connelly says, "The Southern Trek
course will be designed for people

each of the activities , QUEST instructors will provide basic activity and
safety instruction and then monitor

Like many other students this time of year, v;our thoughts
may be on sunshine, balmy breezes and cold beer. If you 're
contemplating spending summer vacation in a beach town ,
this story may help you become more aware of the potential
rip-offs of life in the sunshine.
This pastsummcr, nine Bloomsburg University students
and I rented a spacious, bayside condominium in Ocean
City, Md. Upon arrival in May, we found the house in poor
condition . The walls and carpets were filthy, with beds
missing. Upon signing the lease, we had been promised ihe
house would be cleaned and beds would be rep laced. We
did not get ihe agreement in writing, therefore, we cleaned
the house ourselves and used boxsprings for beds.
The condo turned out to be an expensive ventu re.
$10,000 was paid to our landlord .who promised to return
$1,000 for maintaining the house. No damage was done.
We received a check for $300 in November. Our landlord
charged us $700 for cleaning the walls and carpets.
Olhcr promises fell short for th ree of us who were
waitresses in a bustling boardwal k restaurant. Our ninehour ni ghis consisted of such tasks as vacuuming, scouring
the kitchen oven , rolling silverware, setting tables, carrying heavy racks of mugs and glasses, polishing antiques ,
and wailing on tables.
Our wage was $3.35/ hour, more than usual for
¦vait rcssing . However, the 15 percent cratity (lip) included

we are* limiting enrollment to only
eight to ten people."
QUEST will also hold across-country ski weekend, March 11-13, in the
Allegheny National forest. Barb
Lake, QUEST' S program director,
will be instructing the course. "I've
been programming in the Allegheny
National forest for 10 years ," says
Lake. "I think we should have great
winter weather that will allow for
some of the best skiing conditions for
this time of year."Lake adds, "We will
also be enjoying some beautiful scenery."
Participants will be wearing backpacks and skiing on trails that will take
them through the virgin Hemlock forests. This course is designed for the
experienced cross-country skiier who
also enjoys backpacking and camping
out.

Stress aff ects college students

by Lynne Ernst
Features Editor
At the sight of blood, a person usuall y goes in search
of a band-aid. But when a medica l condition causes
internal bleeding, most people go to the hospital in
search of a good doctor. Steve Venuto knows.
Vcnuto, a junior at Bloomsburg University, was
rushed to Geisinger Hospital complaining of cheslpains
and an ear infection. The diagnosis was that Venuto was
anemic.
But soon afterwards his conditions worsened, he
began passing blood in his stool. The next trip to the hospital showed that Venuto had bleeding ulcers.
Of his condition , Venuto remarked that he sensed
something was wrong because, "I was more tired than
usual." His fatigue was followed by dizziness and nausea.
Carol Venuto, Steve's mother, said that , "It seems to
me that I've seen recent studies showing that Type A
people have been given 'bad press'. Certainly it seems
these successful people are not the ones who 'stew in
their own juices'. Rather, it's the unhappy, struggling,
or worried types, those who turn inward ..."
Jane Giltlcr, director of Home Health Services, confirmed Ms. Venuto's beliefs by saying that Type A
aggressiveness lets people release their energy and
stress more productively than others.
Ulcers among the young are probably a more common problem than a lot of people think because stress is

but had gone back to it shortl y before she died of a brain tu mor . After
her death , Jim was taking her body on
the train to bury her with her husband.
But the memory of her laid out in the
coffin looking so young, pretty and
innocent, tormented him
. As a result, he drank constantly on
the train , making a total nuisance of
himself.
On the journey he meets a prostitute, whom he discovers is also heading for the same place that he is. So he
buys her companionship for fifty
dollers a night to forget about his
mother. Later, he can not even make it
to his mother's funeral because he is
too drunk.
He looks on Josie as "simple and
kind and pure of heart,"words he used
for his mother. With his head on
Josie's breast, he confesses and exorcises his past, hoping to find forg iveness. Jim finall y weeps for his faults
and goes to sleep.
Throughout the nig ht, Josie cradles
his head on her breast, like the virgin
and the dead Christ in the Pieta. The

act ends with Josie saying, "God forgive me, it 's a fine end to all m>
scheming, to sit here with his head
hugged to my breast and the moon
looking down laughing at the joke."
The hist act begins with Josie and
Jim in the same position in the morning while the sun is coming up. Phil
comes back and goes into the house.
Josie then wakes Jim. At first he cannot remember anything, but feels at
peace with himself. Also, he has no
desire to drink.

After a while he remembers everything but acts as if he dosen 't. Josie
then pretends that she doesn't remember anything either. But when she
wishes him goodbye, Jim comes back,
kisses her twice, and says that he will
always remember her and the love she
gave him.
Phil comes back and tells Josie that
his scheme was not for Jim 's money. It
was only to bring Josie and Jim together and for them "to face the truth
lhat you love each other." Josie believes her father and teases him for
playing cupid.

But later, when Phil vents his rage at
Jim , she stop him in anguish , saying,
"Father, I love him." Phil apologizes,
and then trys to act in a civil manner.
As Phil leaves, Josie looks after Jim
and says, "May you have your wish

peace."

in the check, was withheld from the waitresses until the
end of the summer to guarantee that they stay the entire
time. For those of us who attend BU (where the semester
began before Labor Day), that meant making up hours in
order to receive our tips, referred to as our "bonus." Furthermore, instead of receiving the full 15 percent, we
received a smaller percentage based on our performances
as waitresses.
Some received as little as 8 percent, the highest being
only 11 percent. That percentage was deducted from our
total hourly wages, and lhat amount constituted our bonus. Upon hiring, we were told bonuses ranged from
$1,000 to $1 ,500. In October, I received a rating of 10
percent and a bonus check for $560. Going through the
figures , I was paid $1.98/ hour for 486 hours of labor.
Summer in a tourist beach town can be wonderful but
costly if you 're naive. Ocean City, Md., has a lot to offer
a young person who wants to get a great tan and meet
scores of young people. The friends I made, the warm
memories that come to me now as I write this almost make
the disappointing financial reality worth it.
If you 're planning summer at the shore, exercise a lot of
precaution. Know exactl y what you 're getting into by
reading your lease and working contracts carefully. Don 't
fall prey to the promises of a friendly landlord or employer
who seems to be offering you a super deal . Believe someone who 's learned first hand how your summer can turn
into a ripoff.

Big East Picking tournament field tough chore this season
brawling
by Jerry Sullivan

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

Jake Crouthamel, the Syracuse athletic director, has been around the B ig
East long enough to know there is
only one problem grave enough to
capture the attention of the conference overlords. And that 's the sort of
problem the league is facing right
now.
"We have," Crouthamel said Tuesday, "a P.R. problem ." Fighting isn't
the problem in the Big East; it never
has been. How else can you explain
the fact that the league has, until now,
never seen fit to draft any regulations
for dealing wilh the violent incidents
that have occurred periodicall y on its
basketball floors? If the conference
truly abhorred fighting, if it really
intended tostopit ,itwouldhave actcd
a long time ago - perhaps when the
conference was first established - by
giving the commissioner the power to
impose suspensions on players involved in fights.
Instead,the league did nothing. The
schools and their commissioner,
Dave Gavitt, apparently were much
too busy selling the conference to the
Eastern populace to confront the trifling issue of violence, too busy promoting the athletes to legislate their
behavior.
From the start, Gavm realized the
Big East would be an enterprise in
P.R., a marriage of marketing and
media. And in a relativel y short time,
it has flourished beyond anyone's
imagination , evolving into perhaps
the finest college basketball conference in the land.
During the Patrick Ewing era at
Georgetown, when the league was
still gaining a foothold , there was as
much , or more, fighting as there is
today. By failing to take action
against fighting, the league, in effect,
sanctionedit- much like they do in the
NHL.
Georgetown, with its surpassing
talent, its reputation for aggression ,
and its mercurial head coach, John
Thompson, created a compelling
sense of conflict for the Big East. For
all their foibles, both real and otherwise, the Hoyas could be tolerated.
They were the ultimate P.R. for a
league that needed it.
But things have changed. The Big
East now has a relatively secure, unassailable P.R.base, and all the television exposure it could ask for. Meanwhile, Georgetown is still becoming
involved in the occasional scuffle,
three this season by last count.
The most recent, and most unsightly, of those skirmishes occurred
this
past
Saturday,
when
Georgetown 's Perry McDonald
cuffed Pittsburgh's Jerome Lane on
the back of the head with four seconds
remaining, touching off a wild ,
bench-clearing melee and necessitating a premature end to Pitt 's 70-65
win. And to the league's misfortune,
it took place on national television, on
a major network, which qualified it as
a significantpublic relations setback.
"TV is a given now," Crouthamel
said. "However, the fact that it was on
national television precipitates our
P.R. problem."
So at last, fighting has become a
problem worthy of the commissioner' s undivided attention , and it
didn 't take Gavitt and his athletic
directors long to respond to the negative P.R. generated by Saturday 's
brawl at Pitt.
Tuesday, after a lengthy telephone
conference call between Gavitt and
the three-member executive committee, the conference enacted standards
the include a one-game suspension
for leaving the bench during a fight
and a one-game suspension for players ejected from games.
And in a laughable, though characteristic, bit of self-promotion , Gavitt
reminded us that the Big East "views
its high visibility, which tends to
magnify any problem areas, as an
opportunity to be an innovative leader
in addressing national trends."
Never mind that the Big East, this
"innovative leader in addressing national trends," has for years lagged
behind just about every other major
conference in giving its commissioner the power to suspend players
for violent acts.
What's important is that the Big
East has taken definitive action that
was long overdue. And Gavitt has
also provided us with a trendy definition for fighting - "magnified problem area."
The guy definitely missed his calling in life. He's a born P.R. director

will have to make room for highly
regarded teams that were upset in
conference tournaments.
It will have to make value jud gments on conferences, deciding
whether a filth-place team in the Atlantic Coast Conference is more deserving than a second-place team in
the Atlanti c 10. And it is guaranteed to
make people - a lot of people - very,
very upset.

Los A ngeles Times
Before silling down to watch the
iVintcr Olympics, or to compete in
hem , it is helpful to remind yourself
hat this is real athletics, not intended
is simple-minded entertainment , like
'Battle of the Network Hunks and
3imbos" or something.
With that in mind , I parked in from

Is Eddy the Eagle part of the Olym

Wh y must ABC cut away so fre
rjucntly from the exciting, fast-paced

)f the Olympics? I mean , just whci
?ou get into the flow of the commcr

After a couple hours , docs anyone

Would we love and respect the skater
any less if they called that move by ;
more honest term , like "The Bouffan

Do ski companies line up arounc
the block to pay Eddy Ihe Eagle not tc

Why doesn 't Eddy the Eagle flj

What 's the name of the color com

who said, "The Swedes are flatter thar

When the Swedes cranked it up in the
10-kilometer cross-country relay,
why didn 't this commentator poini

Bloomsbu rg University 's women 's
basketball team nailed 14-16 free
th rows last n ight to capture their eleventh win in a row, a new school record , by defeating East Stroudsburg
University, 73-60.
The Warrior 's Nan Wagner hit a
three-pointer to pull within three at
63-60 with just under two minutes to
play, but didn 't score the rest of the
way as Bloomsburg iced it at the free
throw line.
Theresa Lorenzi had 27 points to
lead all scorers while Nina Alston had
a near-perfect game with 17 points ,
five steals, two assists and no turnovers. But the real story of the game
was Elaine Wolf.
Wolf didn 't see action until the
second half but made the most of it ,
hitting four of fiveshots from the floor
and her only free throw attempt for a
total of nine points on the night.
Bressi had nothing but praise for his
freshman guard , "We are in pretty
good shape as far as depth goes.
Elaine Wolf did a real nice job , she hit
five big points when it was a one point
game. We gave her player of the
game, she did a real nice job for us
toni ght. She didn 't even get in until
the second half."
But in the end it was Alston and
Lorenzi providing the punch , "Theresa and Nina played well again. Theresa grabbed some big rebounds down

near the end of the game and she hit
some key shots."
Lorenzi also finished with eight
rebounds to lead the team in that category. Carla Shearer and Karen DcLullo each had five.
"We got a pretty good team effort ,
our depth reall y paicl dividends again.
I' m happy with them , it is a nice way
to end the season ," Bressi said of his
bench.
For East Stroudsburg, it was Tonia
Lloyd leading the balanced scoring
attack with 19 points. She had four
rebounds. Amy Miller was hig h rebounder with 18 to go with her 13
points. Jaymc Bochmcr and Nan
Wagner had 13 and 10 points respectively as the Warriors put four players
in double figures.
"She (Lloyd) played one of her
better game against us toni ght ,she got
a couple of baskets when I had my
guards in there. We sacrificed to get a
coupl e offensive points , but we just
tried some things and they worked
offensively but not defensivel y,"
Bressi said.
Freshman Barb Hall had a quiet
night with six points and three rebounds, but namely as a result of a fall
she took in getting back on defense on
a Warrior fast break. "She bruised her
hi p a little ," Bressi said , "She'll be
okay."
While neither team shot exceptional from the floor, Bloomsburg

by George Wadley
for The Voice
This past week saw the
Bloomsburg University Ice Hockey
Club' s regular season came to an end
and their post season play began with
a bang. The Huskies regular season
ended on a semi-sour note as they
settled for an 8-8 tic against Harrisburg Community College in a game
which seemed lo be lucked away in
the win column unti l about :57 seconds left in the game.
The Huskies played the game like a
fine-tuned engine, doing cvcrihing
right wilh absolutely nothing going
wrong. They attacked Harrisburg's
zone aggressively and never let up on
the pressure. Bloomsburgs performance was highli ghted by the T.J.
Joyncr-Bob Weiss "Show "as they accounted for six of the Huskies eight
goals (having three each) and had
assists on the other two.
The game began wilh Bloomsburg
finding themselves down 1-0 after
just 30 seconds of play. But they answered that goal 28 seconds later
when Joyner scored his first of the
night with an assist by Jim Kortnic.
The rest of the period wint on wilh

Bloomsburg applying more pressure
but onl y coming up with one more
goal from Kartnic , who put away a rebound off of a Mick Pclrulla shot.
Harrisburg was able lo get a goal by
the end of the period as it ended wilh
the score 2-1. In the second period ,
Harrisburg found a brief weakness in
the Huskies attack and put two goals
past Bloomsburg goalie Mike Ponchez who, for the mosl part , came up
big when needed.
Being down 3-2 didn 't scale well
with the Huskies. So then fireworks
began as Bloomsburg scored four
straight times beginning with Joyners
scond goal and soon followed by
Weiss' first goal. That seemed to be it
for the period as the clock showed 24
seconds left. But Bloomsburg was
still hungrcy for more. Joyner won the
insueing face off back to defenseman
Andy Wilson who dicn fed Pclrulla
into Harrisburg's zone where he fired
one past a stunned Harrisburg goalie.
This left 17 second to go in the period.
Again Joyner won the insueing
faccoff to Kortic who then sent the
puck across ice to Pclrulla who then
found Joy ner streaking to the net to tip
in the pass with six seconds left. This

shot 44 percent, it was a rather clean
game in terms of turnovers.
Bloomsburg had only 12, with East
Stroudsburg committing 20 miscues.
Cofncidentall y, the numbers were
exactly the same for personal folds,
Bloomsburg committed 12 to East
Stroudsburg 's 20. The Huskies hit on
88 percent (14-16) of their free
throws, while the Warriors only connected on 44 percent (4-9) from the
charily stripe.
While East Stroudsburg is going
nowhere, the loss dropped their record to 2-8, Bloomsburg, now 21-5, is
preparing lo enter the conference
playoffs.
"We don 't play until next Friday
night ," Bressi said, "We'll take a
couple days off and regroup. We will
try to put this part of the season behind
us and start going one game at a time
and go as far as we can."
"We can 't lose our intensity ,"
Bressi said. "It comes down to a one
game season. Its nice to finish the way
we did. No matter what happens it has
been a great year."

Theresa Lorenzi scored a game high 27 points in the victory overEast Stroudsburg

The B loomsburg Huskies kept their
slim playoff hopes alive last night as
they defeated the East Stroudsburg
Warriors by a score of 80-64.

night. He had seven points including two three-pointers.

straight game

scoring binge sent Harrisburgs' temper sky hi gh as they began to lay cheap
hits on the Huskies.
One of the things Bloomsburg was
worried about heading into the third
period was fate. With their 6-3 lead
seeming to be too comfortable against
a strong team like Harrisburg, a team
they have yet to beat this season, the
Huskies let up a bit too much allowing
Harrisburg to score five goals in the
period and then fate took care of itself.
Harrisburg scored the first two goals
of the period before Weiss recorded
his second of the night with 14:27 left
making the score 7-5. Harrisburg
came within one goal with 3:05 left
and then pulled their goalie for a man
advantage up front. Bloomsburg took
advantage though as they netted what
appeared to be the game clincher with
1:06 left whe Joyner skated the puck
toward the empty net and gave it up to
Weiss who tucked it in.
The Huskies began to celebrate too
quickly as they eased up and gave up
two goals in the last minute of play
forcing the game into overtime where
both teams went scoreless.
Bloomsburg entered the preliminary round of the NEPHL playoffs
with high hopes as they squared off
against Kings College, a game which
decided the loser eliminated from the
playoffs. Bloomsburg's confidence
proved successful as they took this
game fairly easily by a score of 5-0.
The Huskies attack was led by defenseman Andy Wilson who scored
two goals and assisted on two more.
The first period ended in a scoreless
deadlockbefore Bloomsburg decided
to take matters into their own hands as
they stormed oui in the second period
striking quickly with two goals. The
first coming from Jim Kortnic and the
second from Wilson who blasted a
slapshot from the point past a heavily
screened Kings goalie. The Huskies
got one more in the period again from
Wilson who walked into the slot from
his defensive point and slipped a
wristshot by the Kings goalie.
Coming into the third period
hopeing to secure a shutout for goalie
Mike Donchez, Bloomsburg dominated scoring quickly once again
when captain Bob Zarko netted an
insurance goal before Petrulla closed
out the scoring on the night. Conchez
recorded his second shutout of the
season and looked very good as he and
the rest of the Huskies get ready for a
best of three showdown with
Harrisburg beginning tonight at 7:15
at the Wilkes-Barre Ice-a-rama.

The Huskies played a strong game
and handled the ball well, which they
have not done well all season. Also,
the Huskies got strong play from their
bench, especially sophomore Dallas
Wilson.
Wilson had eight points and caused
some turnovers in the first half that
spearheaded a 15-0 run midway
through the firs t half and gave
Bloomsburg a commanding lead.
The Huskies also had strong games
from Alex Nelcha and Dave Carpenter. Nelcha and Carpenter played hard
under the boards and had 11 and 10
rebounds respectively.
Bloomsburg caused the Warriors to
turnover the ball many times in the
game as East Stroudsburg coughed up
the ball 23 times. Bloomsburg converted 11 times on those turnovers
which helped them to build leads of
as much as 19 and maintain those
leads.
The game started with a 9-3
Bloomsburg run , but the Warriors
scored the next six points to tie the
game about midway through the first
half. The Huskies then went on a tear
as they scored the next 15 points.
Wilson was the catalist in this run as
he scored six of those 15 points and
caused a few turnovers. The Huskies
scored on four straig ht East
Stroudsburg turnovers and took a 249 lead with 7:32 left in the first half.
East Stroudsburg refused to fold
and went on a 10-2 run. The Warriors
got strong play from their only legitamate star player Jonathan Roberts.
Roberts, the second leading scorer in
the PSAC, scored 11points in the first
half including five points in that 10-2
run ,and pulled the Warriors to within
seven points of the Huskies at 26-19
with 2:20 to play in the half.
Both teams exchanged buckets the
last two minutes of the half with
Bloomsburg holding a 33-25 lead at
the half.
Bloomsburg tryed to pull away
early in the second half by going up by
11 points early in the half behind a
three pointed by Joe Stepanski.
East Stroudsburg played spirited
thoug h second half and would not let
Bloomsburg run away with the game.
Keith Carroll of the Warriors
scored eight of his ten points in the
second half to keep the Warriors in
the game.
The Warriors actually got to within
six points with only 7:52 to play in the

game. East Stroudsburg got this close
by playing a totigh man to man defense and by hitting a few three pointers.
A blow was struck to the Warriors
comeback however when Roberts
fouled out of the game with nearly
seven minutes left to play.
This seemed to rattle East
Stroudsburg as Bloomsburg went on a
17-4 tear for the next six minutes and
built a 19 point lead wilh only 1:38 left
in the game. Matt Wilson helped in the
run by scoring six points including
some scoring off of missed one and
ones by the Huskies.
East Stroudsburg reverted to fouling, but the Huskies hit their free
throws to never let the Warriors even
think of trying to pull a miracle comeback, as Bloomsburg won the game
80-64.
Matt Wilson led all scorers with 18
points and also grabbed seven rebounds for the Huskies.
Jonathan Roberts and Joe Darling
eached scored 15 points in the losing
cause for East Stroudsburg.
The Huskies move to 17-9 in their
overall record and finish the PSAC
season with a 7-5 record , while East
Stroudsburg drops to 6-20 overall and
0-11 in PSAC play.
Believe it or not, the Huskies, who
were written out of the playoff picture
after their loss to West Chester last
week, still have an outside chance to
make the last playoff spot, but the
Huskies need some things to happen.
First, West Chester must lose to
Kutztown. They played each other last
night.
Second, West Chester must then
beat Cheyney on Saturday night.
If both things happen that would
leave Kutztown as the PSAC East
division winner, Millersville as the
second place team, and Bloomsburg
in a tie for third with Cheyney .
The third place team and the last
playoff spot in the East division would
then be determined by a coin toss.
The winner of that coin toss would
then travel to Millersville on Monday
night to start the PSAC East playoffs
against the Marauders.
Meanwhile, the Huskies have one
regular season game left at Concordia
(N.Y.) in a non-conference game.
If Bloomsburg wins that game, it
would give head coach Charlie
Chronister his 300th win in his coaching career here at Bloomsburg.
