Faculty performance j udged by evaluations

Ted Sarnoski
for the Voice
Bloomsburg students can use faculty evaluations as a
guide when deciding what professor to lake for a course.
Bloomsburg University , along with the 14 other state
universities use a method of student-faculty evaluations to
judge faculty performance in the classroom.
According to Hugh McFadden of Institutional Research, there are several purposes for the blue faculty
evaluations.
When instructors are hired, they are evaluated every
semester by students and a faculty member. After a period
of time, instructors may apply for tenure or promotion. At
this time, instructors provide, for the tenure committee,
either the raw data from these evaluations or a report
derived from the evaluations.
During the time before instructors are granted tenure,
the evaluations are just a review or credentials.
McFadden said, "Its a flag essentially, if there's a problem, action will be taken to correct it."
After a student returns the evaluations to the office of
Institutional Research, the results are processed and three
copies of the results are made.
Two copies are given to the faculty and one is on file.
The file copy remains there for five years, during which
time it is available only to the faculty. According to
McFadden, there is no public distribution of the results.
McFadden said no studentshave asked for results of the

evaluation recently. Three years ago, some students requested access through the University Wide Student
Evaluation of Instructors Committee(USEI). Nothing
resulted f rom the request.
The USEI is made up of three faculty members, three
management personnel , and three students chosen by the
Community Government Association. Cal Walker a
member of the psychology depastment and chair of the
USEI said the committee does not meet on a regular basis.
He was unaware of the committee's members.
The USEI creates the evaluation form and periodically
reviews and updates thc form. According to Walker, "We
are responsible for content and McFadden's office
handles' the processing and that is all."
Walker said that he is unaware of any problems with the
current system and has no immediate plans for calling a
meeting of the committee.
McFadden said, "The biggest complaint is it (the evaluation) doesn 't discriminate enough to flag a really rotten
instructor. We do not do norms, instructors have nothing
to compare the results to. I would really love to see us work
towards one. If someone would come up with some good
ideas, the time is ripe for students to come out with them."
"Unless a faculty member attacks a student publicly in
the halls naked, with his hair on fire, and a machine gun
under his arms, you can not bring disciplinary action
against a tenured faculty without proper cause," said
David Cunningham , Personnel.

Cunningham commented that very often action is taken.
However, on a unionized campus there are very few
personnel rules.
Many times when action is warranted, the students are
unaware of what is done. The process takes many years to
complete.
Serving as only advisory to administration in cases of
bad faculty evaluations, Cunningham commented that it
would take about three years of consistently bad evaluations for the case to be strong enough for disciplinary
action to be taken.
Cunningham said it is difficult to judge what is a bad
evaluation, since some instructors are teaching classes that
they do not enjoy and students do not want to take.
In that instance , changes are made to provide a different
schedule for the instructor but the lack cf qualified personnel can make it impossible.
"Chances of you seeing it (change) on a personal basis
are virtually nil ." said Cunningham.
According to the university contract, tenured instructors
are evaluated every five years. McFadden said many
instructors volunteer to be evaluated more often for their
own benefit, some even use their own questionnaire. In the
event of a complaint, the contractdoes provide for interim
evaluations if the dean sees fit, said Dr.John Baird, dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences,
Students need to take the evaluation process more sen
ous," said Dean Baird.

The Provost's Lecture Series will
feature physical anthropologist Dr.
Donald Johanson of the Institute of
Human Origins in Berkeley, Calif ,
on Monday, Feb. 29 at 8 p.m. in
Carver Hall's auditorium.
The lecture, "A New Perspective
on the Human Family Tree," is open
to the public.
Johanson discovered fossil remains in Ethiopia which suggest that
humans have walked the earth for at
least 3.5 million years.
In 1973, Johanson and French geologist Maurice Taieb led a research
expedition in the Afar Triangle of
Northeastern Ethiopia.
On Nov. 30, 1974, Johanson
found a 40 percent complete skeleton, known as "Lucy,"on an eroding
hillside that had once been a lake.
Lucy lay there for some 3.5 million years covered by lake bed sediments.
Lucy's scientific name is "AL
288-1."
She was nicknamed by the research team during their celebration
of Johanson's find when the song
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by
the Beatles was playing on their
portable record player.
Many scientists consider
Johanson 's finding one of the greatest discoveries of this century in the

search for human origins.
One year later, the fossil remains of
at least 13 individuals who apparently
died simultaneously, perhaps during
a flash flood , were discovered by the
Johanson team.
Dubbed "The First Family", these
fossil remains of men, women and
children are valuable to anthropologists because they provide physical
variations of what might be a family
of "Afarensis" fossils, which are the
oldest human form.
Because of Johanson's work and
that of others, anthropologists are
nearly certain humans first set foot on
the ground nearly 5 million years ago
near the equator in East Africa.
However, the precise time frame of
this event is less certain because fossils, biological distance measurements and molecular clocks cannot
clearly distinguish sophisticated apes
from primitive humans.
In recent decades, scientists have
observed that some advance primates
were obviously human in their basic
behaviors even though they do not
resemble modern human forms at all.
Therefore, visualizing the earliest
humans as "ape-men" is not inappropriate.
The "A. afarensis" possesses pelvic, knee and foot bones identical in
form to contemporary humans and
yet has ape-like brain size, relative
arm length and finger curvature.

The afarensis teeth show a mix of
ape and human characteristics.
Johanson, who also discovered the
afarensis, notes that they varied in
height from 3.5 to 5-f eet,and weighed
approximately 45 lbs.
Though small, the skeletal biomechanics and ligament processes
suggest a powerful creature.
The bones are long and exceptionally thick, and details of arm and hand
structure suggest a climbing capacity
as well as full bipedalism, especially
in females.
Conceivably, early males adapted
to ancient conditions by running
away from predators, whereas females, with wider pelvises (designed
for childbirth) found running more
difficult and escaped by climbing into
the trees instead.
Some cultural material, including
crude stone tools dating to 2.5 million
years ago, have been found in the Afar
area.
Plans for a full-scale investigation
of the Afar Triangle have been interrupted by sporadic warfare in the
region.
Ethiopian authorities have halted
further expeditions to the region.
Johanson 's best-selling book,
"Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind," is now on sale at the University
Store and copies will be available for
purchase at the lecture.

Unless there is proof of incompetency in the classroom ,
the evaluations are only an indication of what is happening, the real message must come from the students.
The procedure of filing complaints against faculty is
spelled out in the Pilot under grievance procedures said
Baird.
If students feel something should be done about a
faculty member, they should pursue the process.
Baird added that the process takes time to complete,
and many students are only here for four years and it can
take that long to prove an instructor is bad.
Cunningham said, "Tenure is protection of academic
freedom , not job security." Whf.n action is taken against
an 'instructor it can run from having a fellow faculty
member g ive council to having the instructor return to
school himself.
Rarely is disciplinary action taken by the president.
According to an unidentifiedsources in the administration say, students are not taking an active roll in what
happens on campus.
Student organizations need to take a stronger stand
against "bad" faculty. "No one is ever 100 percent satisfied with the instrument." said McFadden.
Administration officials believe th at the students have
the power to change the system if they want and it would
make the university a better place for the students and the
administration.

Secretary of State George P.
Shultz, arriving Thursday at the start
of a new Middle East peace shuttle,
said that he would present an American plan to Israeli and Arab leaders on
a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
Talking to reporters aboard his jetliner on a flight from Washington to
Jerusalem, Shultz said that he was
prepared to negotiate tlie details of the
American proposal in Israel, Jordan ,
Egypt, and Syria, but that he would
not consider fundamental changes in
it.
He made it clear that he will not
play along if the parties adopt the
familiar negotiating ploy of seizing
on part of the proposal while rejecting
the rest.
"There are various elements in this
package," Shultz said. "Vou
shouldn 't think of it as kind of a cafeteria line. You have to look at it as an
integrated piece."
He added that the U.S. package
"has an appropriate balance to it" that
would be upset by major changes.
The ongoing violence in the Israelioccupied territories - the West bank of
the Jordan River and Gaza Strip -

claimed its 64th and 65th Palestinian
victims as Shultz arrived. An 18-yearold youth from the Jenin refugee
camp in the West Bank died from
Israeli army gunfire, and another
youth was killed in Nablus. At least
eight others were wounded in episodes of violence, four of them in the
Jenin incident, which the army said
occurred when a patrol came under
attack by angry,rock-throwing Palestinians.
There also were scattered disturbances elsewhere in the West Bank,
and a general commercial strike,
called by the so-called Unified National Leadership for the Uprising in
the Occupied Territories to coincide
with Shultz's arrival, kept shops and
schools closed.
Although much of Shultz's peace
plan remains secret, U.S. officials say
that it calls for early negotiations
among Israel, Arab states, and representatives of the Palestinians over the
future status of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip. Israel has occupied the
two areas since the Arab-Israeli war
of 1967.
So far , elements on nearly every
side of the complex situation have
expressed skepticism about the U.S.

Lecture series presents missing link * finder

approach. U.S. officials admit that it
will be difficult for Shultz to bridge
the gap of mistrust.
Arab leaders have complained that
Shultz's purpose is to try to calm the
11-week-old Palestinian uprising in
the occupied regions by misleading
their residents into believing that
improvements are on the way.
Responding to such concerns,
Shultz said that thc Jerusalem government must recognize that it cannot
hope to return to the situation that
prevailed before the uprising, a condition under which Israel maintained
military control ofthe predominately
Arab territories.
"There is an underly ing problem
consisting of a large number of people
in an occupied area that do not have
the basic rights of governance," he
said. He said the situation "is just
inherently not a stable situation."
Elaborating on that point in a statement as he arrived at Ben Gurion
Airport, Shultz said , "Recent events
have underscored a clear and crucial
fact: The status quo in the region is not

a stable option for any of the parties.
At the same time, the status quo must
not be changed in a way that would
endanger Israel's security. Our objective is to help Israel and its neighbors
achieve peace and security, and to
help Palestinians achieve their legitimate rights."
Shultz said that the Palestine Liberation Organization and other
groups have attempted to exploit the
disturbances, but he refused to join
President Reagan, who told a press
conference Wednesday night that
"outsiders" had instigated the unrest
"As I have read the intelligence
(reports), there are various opinions
about the unrest," Shultz said. "I think
its fundamental origins are essentially
indigenous."

Sellers apologizes: 'I was wrong...I m sorry

To the Editor
All right. You got mc. There's no
use denying it. 1was wrong and now
I will publicly say "I'm sorry" to the
brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha for
hurting their feelings. My aggression
toward thc administration got unintentional ly careened atLambda Chi. I
do indeed stand corrected on certain
issues I wrotcabout in my recent letter
to The Voice.
I have been given a hand-written
letter from a Lambda Chi brother who
set the record straight. Thc raid I
wrote of on thc Lambda Chi house
was not for having an open alcoholic
parly but instead for having a closed
alcoholic mixer witli the sorority
Thcta Tau Omega. I apologize to thc
sisters of Thcta Tau for leaving them

out of ir.y letter. But unless every
member of Lambda Chi and Theta
Tau arc 21 or over, I don't see the
justification in this point. Nevertheless, the point was made and I stand
corrected.
The letter went on to correct mc in
thc statement that the brothers were
not in thc woods with their associates
and kegs of beer. Instead they were
hanging out in a field with said associates without any beer. And they
were not on probation at thc time of
their raid.
Where did I get my information
from? It came strai g ht from the mouth
of one of thc "supporting " members
of the Greek system (which I understand a bit more than you would like to
believe, Steve).

This individual apologized to mc
and asked that I apologize for him in
this letter. He has been a naughty boy
and is very, very sorry. Boy is he
sorry! In fact , he's a lot sorrier than I.
In both the hand-written letter and
your letter, Steve, my remarks pertaining to Lambda Chi' s non-alcoholic were completel y misunderstood. I did not condemn Lambda Chi
for having a non-alcoholic party and ,
even though I didn 't specifically
point it out , I do support them in this
step.But it is still oblivious to mc as to
why Beta Sig was not offered the
same opportunity.
I'd like to apologize to Voice

Tension grows in system

To the Editor
This story sU.rts innocentl y enough
with a group of guys who wanted to
suirt a fraternity so that they could gel
together, have fun and help thc school
and thc community .
From one fra t, thc Greek system
grew to a point where it is one of the
most influential groups on this campus.
Thc Greek system docs a lot for this
campus and for thc community
through service projects and activities
on campus.
Then it began. Thc tension between
thc Greeks and thc administration
began to build. So a little friend came
in lo bridge the gap between thc
Greeks and thc administration. She
started off reall y help ing both sides,
creating more tension then ever before.
She tried to diminish thc Greek
system by destroying the roots of it by
destroy ing thc growth of each frat.

She thought it would be simple; just
stop pledging.
But the Greek system united ,

students to show pride in their fraternity and to pledge in the tradition of
thc word.

dreams up another one. Divide thc
system against itself. This could be
done by creating a tension that never
exsisted before - one between the
nationals and thc locals.
Then , by a great coincidence, tlie
administration had its best chance to
cause turmoil among ihe Greeks.
A national frat, Lambda Chi Alpha ,

Could this be a conspiracy by thc

But thc adulls whose lives arc upended also collectively fall in love

Thc baby has a transforming effect.
Thc Tiger Lady becomes a loving

that there was a major concern shared
by many students , Greek and nonGreek alike, that was not being

In response to Lambda Chi' s invitation to their next non-alcoholic

As a last note I'd like to point out

Since thc administration is so contradictory I feel that they should make

The Wall is misunderstood
Of course, there were also those
who just don 't like the music. Forget
terms like "heavy metal" or the longdefunct categories of "hard rock" and
"acid rock", the latter two terms having no bearing on contemporary
music since the early 1970's. Pink
Floyd's soundtrack is often loud and
fast. This is not the sort of thing Frank
Sinatra would perform on stage.
As I've mentioned in a previous
column , there are people who don 't
like any modern music, or who don 't
like anything that 's loud and/or fast.
I feci very sorry for these people,
for just like those who attempt to
avoid facing the darker emotions,
they will never be able to appreciate
the inherent beauty of a Zulu dance or
the intricate nuances of Japanese
poetry.
They will never communicate with
the brushstrokes of Van Gogh or notice the genius of a waterfall.
Let's put all this aside for now.
Assume that The Wall is a type of
artwork that has something important
to say, and forget for the moment that
you may not have liked it.
*
The movie has a profound affect on
me. I am frightened every time I see it,
not from its content but from what it
shows me about myself. Whoever
made it knew. They had been there.
The endless hallways lined with
doors. Emptiness so vast it stretches
like a field in all directions. Searching
my own soul for some remaining

vestiges of humanity, and realizing
there's nothing left. I had never used
drugs or gone through the other painful events that the principle character
in the film suffered , but I recognized
every piece of symbolism.
Who 's right? The kid standing in
line in front of me thought the movie
is about "this guy who does all these
neat things". I see the movie as the
story of a man who destroys himself
by building barricades between himself and the rest of humanity.
There were other things thrown in
as well, all went over the kids' heads.
The racial hatred that serves only to
mask our own feelings of insecurity.
The shallowness of the rock 'n roll
lifestyle. The constraints placed on us
by an education system that insists on
uniformity while preaching individuality. Were these things not noticed by
anyone else in the theater?
Who has the right to interpret? Can
I fault people for not seeing something that is clear to my eyes? Or am
I wrong in my interpretation , is The
Wall just another movie about a rock
and roll singer?
I no longer go to the midnight
movie. I have the tape at home so
when I need to communicate with
someone or something that understands the hallways and the fields, I
can do so alone.
Yes, to answer the underlying question. It was cold, the journey that gave
me eyes of steel. It was very cold.

Sorority performs projects

Chi Sigma Rho, a local social sorority at Bloomsburg University , participated in various service projects last semester.
Projects include bartending at Cheers, a non-alcoholic bar, cleaning the
Ronald McDonald House in Danville, a local house for families of sick
children, visiting the Geisinger Medical Center children 's ward and serving as
campus guides of tours for incoming or prospective students.
BU sororities are required to pariake in one service project a semester.
However, at Chi Sigma Rho, President Bethann Williams, a senior psychology major, says, "Participating in the service programs is fun and worthwhile,
and we usually plan a few because the sisters, individually, get satisfaction
from being involved in these projects."

Report shows
faculty ratio

Fifty-five percent of the faculty
members at Bloomsburg University
have doctoral degrees, according to
the latest faculty and administrative
report issued by the office of planning, institutional research and information management.
The report shows of the 348 fulltime faculty members, 209 (60.06
percent) have a doctorate, 132 have a
master's degree and seven have
bachelor's degrees.
There are 39 part-time faculty
members, five (12.82 percent) of
which have a doctorate, 28 a master's
degree and six a bachelor's degree.
This is about an 8-percent increase
in doctorates held by faculty members
over a report issued 10 years ago when
BU had just slightly fewer faculty
employed, said Hugh McFadden, director of Planning, Institutional Research and Information Management.
Of the 214 full-time and part-time
faculty with doctorates in 1988, 168
(61.54 percent) are men and 46 (40.35
percent) are women.
Ninety-three with doctorates are
full professors, 61 are associate professors, 56 are assistant professors,
and four are instructors.
In the colleges within the university, the College of Arts and Sciences
has the highestnumber of faculty with
234, and doctorates total 143.
The College of Professional Studies has 36 doctorates among its 80member staff, and the College of
Business has a faculty of 51 with 21
holding doctorates.
There are another 17 doctorates
held by non-instructional employees,
and two in th_ *Center for Developmental Instruction.
McFadden noted (hat doctor of
philosophy degrees (Ph.D.s) were
much more prevalent than doctor of
education degrees (Ed.D.s), 177 to 32.

Christian musician
draws large crowd

by Cindy Hurst
Staff Writer
Recent damage to ihe credibility of
television evangelism has not lessened contemporary Christian music 's
impact, message or power.
Approximately 125 listeners
packed thc President 's Lounge last
Thursday evening for a concert given
by Kevin Moycr, a contempora ry
Christian musician.
A junior at BU , Moycr 's publicity
efforts were rewarded as more students poured into the lounge than
sealing arrangements could hold. "I
was definctly pleased with tlie turnout," Moycr said.
All songs performed were written
by Moycr. He began writing songs at
thc age of 12 and has worked to develop his ability.
Among thc- instruments Moycr
played in Thursday 's concert were
two keyboards, a drum machine and
an acoustic guitar.
Aside from Moycr 's musica l (alent ,
he believes thc message he conveys to
his audiences arc just as important.
"I'm up there to provide more than

just Christian entertainment. I want
people to hear about something and '
someone that can change their lives ,
and I enjoy sing ing about thc thing
that is most important to mc."
Kim Morten said , "I loved the
music. Kevin has some incredible
talent. " Also, Bill Simon added , "It's
great that God is into high tech. This
concert helped a lot of people understand that God indeed loves us regard less of our shortcomings. "
Of the concert Moycr said , "God
used this time. Even if one person was
encouraged , il was well worth it. "
Moycr 's lyrics arc packed with his
message that true freedom is found in
knowing and serving Christ.
Future concerts for Moycr have
been scheduled at Lycoming College,
Penn Slate U n i v e r s i t y , Easl
Stroudsburg University, and colleges
in Ohio.
Moycr 's goals arc io continue writing music and making contacts with
hooking agents. According lo Moycr ,
at every show he meets someone who
opens another door for him - bringing
him one step closer to his goal.

There comes a time in a college
student 's liic when thc inevitable
happens - they must prepare their first
resume.
According to-Carol Barnct, assistant director of the Career Development Center located in Ben Franklin,
seniors should start getting their
thoughts and ideas together f or their
resumes in the fal l of their senior year.
Business students arc especially encouraged to prepare their resumes
earl y because ofthe number of corporations that visit on Bloomsburg 's
.
campus during the year.
Now you know when to compile
your resume, but the real question
remains -.How do I get my resume
together? Barnct recommends that
"each resume be reflective of a
person s own style." An education
major should not try to use a business
or biology major 's resume as format
because it is not necessarily appropriate.
The Career Development Center is
available to all students , and it offers a
lot of criti quing and advice on preparing resumes. Also, they hold resume
writing workshops each semester and
offer resume samples which might
help answer questions concerning
your own resume.

"Students should be aware that if
they prepare their resume in the f all
and don 't graduate until May, they
might have to make changes in their
resumes. They don't know what will
present itself ," says BarnetL
There are a few general guidelines
students should follow in preparing
their resume.
*Thc resume should not be more
than two pages. Don 't write a novel .
*Thc emphasis should be on your
college activities and honors. If you
feci it is necessary to add something
from high school do so, but it is not
necessary.
?Make sure you have no typing
errors. If you are not a «good typist,
there are people who will type resumes at reasonable prices.
*Bc honest. Do what you can to
make yourself sound l ike a good candidate for the job, but do not be dishonest to a prospective employer.
*Do not include your age, height,
weight , ethnic or religious background.
When your resume is done you will
need quality copies of your resume.
Duplicating Services will photocopy
resumes free of charge, but you need
to supply the paper.
When preparing a resume, contact
the center for advice on choosing the
most effective resume for you.

Martucci
stresses
fitness

by Lisa Mack
for The Voice
Aerobic exercise is strenuous, and
combining it with dance can make
even diehards g ive up. But not Sheila
Martucci.
Martucci , a member of the department of health, physical education
and athletics, teaches jazz , ballet and
aerobics.
Martucci , after graduating from
William Patterson College in New
Jersey with a degree in physical eduI cation , taught at Bloom Nautilus for
five years. Soon afterwards she join ed
the Bloomsburg Uhiversity staff.
Martucci is currently certified in
aerobic dance from the American
Aerobic Association. The training
program consisted of studying injuries, proper body alignment and routines.
Martucci said that when beginning
any exercise program, it is important
to check with your doctor first.
"I've seen so many careless injuries that are caused because of not
receiving medical approval first," she
commented.
She also stresses monitoring heart
rate during an aerobic workout. "I
always make sure that everyone
knows how to determine their resting
and working heart rate."
According to sophomore education
major Hope Kocher, Martucci provides help ful knowledge about fitness,and is not simply concerned with
how many sit-ups can be done in a
minute. Kocher added , "Mrs.
Martucci' s class was a lot of fun instead of just a lot of work. It provided
a way to get out of the classroom."
Aerobic exercise is a substained
physical activity done at least 15-20
minutes, three to five days a week.
Martucci says,"The proper aerobic
workout consists of a warm-up, low
and high impact exercises, and a cool
down."
Music played during the sessions
provides incentive. "Music," says
Martucci, "gets you motivated by
taking your mind off the work."
Martucci said, "Aerobic dancing is
not ju st a fad. It makes young and old
want to move."
Martucci gives thist test the first day
of aerobic class.

Human-powered flights will be attempted by two groups
by Robert Cooke

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

America's curren t infatuation with muscle power is
approaching serious extremes. Early in April , for example, a leam from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hopes lo fl y an ullralightwcight airplane, powered
only by pedaling, all thc way from Crete to Thcra, another
Greek island , without getting wci. They hope lo mimic
the mythical 70-milc fli ght or Daedalus, without duplicating the crash of his son Icarus.
In the meantime , in California another team of engineering students has built , and hopes lo fl y, die world's
most awkward-looking helicopter. It's also pedal-powered, of course, but has yet to get off thc ground.
The long-distance flight from Crete will be attempted
this spring, when the MIT team plans to be on-site there
in Heraclion , awaiting fair weather and steeling their
nerves. Their plane is named Daedalus I, and five highly
trained athletes have been recruited; only one will make
die flight.
Thc goal is to recreate the storied fli ght to freedom of
Daedalus, the artist-inventor in Greek mythology who
escaped from Crete using wings fashioned of feathers and
wax. Thc MIT team hopes to avoid the fate of Icarus,
Daedalus' enthusiasti c but foolish son , who was try ing to
escape with him but crashed after fly ing so hi gh that heat
from thc sun melted the wax in his wings.

From the Glovebox

of the helicopter project isn 't to go any place at all. What
they must do is j ust go up for one minute. Then come down ,
gently, and collect $20,000.
Although il may sound simple, actuall y designing, buildingand fl ying a human-powered helicopter isatruly daunting task . Larwood and various other students at Cal Poly
have been at it for seven years and are still trying to get
airborne
Indeed , is the task even possible? "We've done feasibility studies on thc possibility of having a human-powered
helicopter , and it can be done," said Mark Paris, a spokesman for the American Helicopter Society, in Alexandria ,
Va. "It is feasible, but not easy."
Paris said several people have called to announce they 're
trying to build pcdal-powcrcd choppers , but he said the Cal
Poly group, which now includes aboul 30 members , seems
to be farthest along with their 285-pound craft, Da Vinci 2.
The 285 pounds , incidentally, includes the weig ht of the
pumping pil ot , Andres Eulate , 155 pounds. "They are
close," Paris said , but he warned that "it takes a world-class
athlete to actuall y keep the machine hovering."
Pedal power for die ungainl y looking Cal Pol y machine
is supp lied by Eulate , an engineering stsdent who is also a
member of the university 's bicycle racing team. In early
tests, Eulalc has succeeded in getting three ofthe machine 's
legs off the ground , and it was sort of pivoting around on the
fourth leg , Larwood said.

"The takeoff point will be at Heraclion ," said Charles
Ball, a spokesman for MIT. 'They will proceed north
toward thc island of Dia, and then toward their primary
destination , thc island of Thcra. The distance is 74 miles ,
and thc flight time, in calm air, is about five hours."
Calm air is critical for such lightweig ht aircraft, which
typicall y fly at altitudes of 10 or 15 feet, and at speeds
around 10 mph.
The team suffered a setback on Feb. 7 when , during a test
flight at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California, air
turbulence caused Daedalus I to crash. Thc mishap occurred when ihe craft was flying at about 15 feet altitude ,
turned suddenl y, dropped a wingtip to the ground and
crashed. The p i lot was not inj urcd,but the 70-pound plane's
fuselage and central wing section were damaged.
Project leader John Langford said Daedalus I has been
shipped back to workshops in Massachusetts for repairs; a
back-up plane that was already under construction was sent
to California so flight testing and training could continue.
Despite the mishap, Bal l said , "They plan to be in place,
ready to go, in early April. They had hoped for a flight
before Easter," but the flight could be made as late as May,
depending on conditions.
As thc Daedalus project progresses toward its ultimate
fate, anolhcr ambitious effort is being pushed by eng ineering students at California State Pol ytechnic University in
San Luis Obispo: the human-powered helicopter. The goal

Although that performance was encouraging, it didn 't
come close to meetingthe contest rules, which require the
craft to climb at least three yards off the floor , hover for
one minute, and not wander outside a 10-yard-square
zone.
One of the main problems the team is facing, Larwood
added , is a simple matter of size. Because their machine
is so light and fragile , and its rotor turns so slowly, it must
be flown indoors, out of the wind. But indoor flying limits
the size of the rotor they can use for flight.
The first version used a rotor sweeping an area 100 feet
in diameter, but at six revolutions per minute it couldn 't
generate quite enough lift. A second rotor 140 feet long,
turning at the same speed, should supply enough lift, they
figured, but it's too big to use inside their 135-foot wide
Cal Poly gym .
Fortunately, the McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Co. offered weekend use o f a huge hangar where the new C-17
military cargo plane will be built in Long Beach , Calif.
That facility will be used for attempts at the prize if all the
mechanical and structural problems can be worked out.

The MIT crew was hoping that tests of their plane could
continue at Edwards Air Force Base in California's
Mojave Desert before they had to go to Crete for the real
thing. In California , all five pilots trained for the Crete-toGrcece flight were qualified for fli ght, Ball said.

Pontiac 's GTO the f irstmusclecar

by Glenn Schwab
Features Editor
1964 marked thc beginning of a
period of time known to performance
enthusiasts as thc muscle-car era. For
about nine years, until the end of 1973,
Americans were treated to some of the
fastest and quickest automobiles to
ever roll off an assembly line. There
are two cars that stand out , in my
opinion at least, as symbols of what
the musclecar era was all about. They
are Pontiac's 1964 GTO and the 1968
Plymouth Road Runner.
The 1964 GTO was the machine
that started the muscle-car era. This
isn 't to say that powerful cars weren 't
built before the coming of the GTO.
The Max Wedge 413 pumped out 375
hp. in a 1960 Chrysler 300-F while the
1963 Chevy Impala SS 409 delivered
409 hp. with the help of two fourbarrel carburetors. But their perform ance was hindered by the 4000-plus
pounds of full-sized car they had to
move around.
TheGTO wa3unique because it was
the first car to have a large V8 in an
intermediate (mid-size) chassis.
When equipped with the Tri-Power
389, rated at 348 hp., the 3200 pound
GTO would blast from 0 to 60 in 4.6
seconds and turn the quarter mile in 14
seconds.
But what was it like to drive such a
car? David E. Davis, former editor of
Car and Driver, probably expressed it
best: "My first ride in a GTO left me
with a feeling like losing my virginity ,
going into combat and tasting my first
draft beer all in about seven seconds. I
remember that the GTO slammed out
ofthe hole like it was being fired from
a catapult, that the tach needle swung
itself across the dial like a windshield
wiper, that the noise from the three
two-throat carburetors on that heavy
old 389 cubic-inch Pontiac V8
sounded like some awful doomsday
Hoover-God sucking up sinners."
Performance like this wasn't the
only reason behind the GTO 's success. It was one of thc most heavily
advertised cars in history, promoted
as the "GeeTO Tiger,"a tire-smoking
performer.
It's popularity spawned such diverse items as GTO cologne by Max
Factor, cuff-links and tie bars emblazoned with the GTO 6.5 litre emblem
and even a line of leather shoes called
the Thorn McAn GTO, which were
"made to fit the Tiger ."

But the GTO's greatcst sales boost
came from an unexpected sources: the
growing rock and roll industry. Ronnie and thc Daytonas, an otherwise
unknown group, made it to number
four on the September 1964 Billboard
survey wiih "GTO." This was an entirely optimistic song, no blown engines, shredded transmissions or broken axles here, just fast cruising and
smooth roads.
GTO cventual y sold 1,250,000
copies, helping Pontiac sell some
32,000 GTOs in 1964, a 600 percent
improvemen t over predictions. As
Jim Wangers, a Pontiac advertising
executive al the time, said, "It (GTO)
did more than anything else to build
up thc GTO's image."
Despite it 's popularity , GTO was
not the first song aboul the legendary
Goat. Jan and Dean sang about their
favorite Poncho product in "My
Mighty GTO," released in June 1964.
These songs became so popular that
Pontiac produced and distributed its
own record, "GeeTO Tiger," in 1965,
selling over 250,000 copies. "Tiger"
sounded something like an options list
set to music, but that's what you
would expect from a song that was
made as a promotional gimmick.
1968 proved to be a great year for
Pontiac in general and the GTO in
particular. With a completely rcstylcd body and a new 400 cu.-in. engine,
the GTO won thc Motor Trend Car of
the Year Award and was named one of
the Ten Best Cars of 1968 by Car Life.
The Goat also came in second, behind
the Dodge R/T Charger, in the Car
and Driver Fifth Annual Readers'
Choice Winners in the Best Super Car
division.
It 's ironic that the GTO placed second to a Dodge in the Car and Driver
poll because another Mopar offering,
based on a famous cartoon character,
would show itself to be even more of
a first year success than the GTO was.
The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner
was a redefinition of the musclecar
concept that the '64 Goat had established. Built and sold on the "morebang-for-Iess-buck" theory, the Road
Runner was designed to provide
maximum performance at minimum
cost, a goal that was beyond the
higher-priced GTO.
This idea made the Road Runner an
instant hit in the sales race. Plymouth
thought only about 2,500 would leave
the lot first year out, so imagine their

suprisc when some 45,000 were sold
during the '68 model year.
Plymouth' s initial plan was to build
a base car that could turn the quartermile at over 100 mph and still sell for
around $3,000. Actual drag strip tests
showed a speed of 98 mph , below
expectations but still faster than anything in its price range.
To make this possible, Mopar concentrated on putting the money into
the essential performance parts such
as the engine, drivetrai n and rear axle,
leaving the interior and exterior
stricdy no-frills. No fancy console,
bucket scats or chrome wheels here,
just a plain bench seat, column shifter
and dog dish hubcaps, in keeping with
the Runner 's image as a strippeddown performer.
Even though it was "stripped" in
comparison to others, the Runner was
still a handsome car. Its slightly boxy
exterior was free of cluttering chrom e
and the Road Runner emblems on the
doors were a nice touch. Engine displacement was shown in white numbering on the inside ofthe side-facing
hood scoops. These scoops were initally nonfunctional , but in 1969 an Air
Grabber option was offered which
channelled cool outside air directly
into the carburetor.
In base form , the only standard
luxuries were the famous "beepbeep" horn and emblems of the
speedy little bird himself on the dash,
trunk lid and doors. The Road Runner
provided just tiie image that Plmouth
wanted for the car. As stated by automotive author Anthony Young, "The
whimsical cartoon character 's traits
of almost unlimited speed and unperturbed stopping power made the name
an ideal choice."
The Road Runner 's performance
makeup was evident in its engine
choices. Aside from the base 335 hp.
383, the only other available engine
was the stump-pulling 426 Hemi. No
middle of the road here, only relatively mild or completely wild. A
Runer equipped with the extra- cost
Hemi would roar down the 1320 in
13.6 seconds at 105.6 mph.
The GTO and Road Runner were

'Cop 2 r has everything but a p lot

by Mike Mayer
Staff Writer
The following conversation may or
may not have taken place verbatim ,
but thc point is that dialogue very
similar lo it was probably spoken
when the script f or Beverly JI ills Cop
2 was being discussed.
"Well , I don 't know what the film
may be aboul yet, but I do know wc
need a car crash or two."
"A car crash or two?! Mak e il dozens of car crashes and chases! That 's
what thc Hollywood movies arc all
about these days. Hey, let's go watch
more movies to see what ideas and
cliches we haven 't used yet."
"Let's talkabouttheplot first. We'll
have Eddie Murphy 's character , Axel
Foley, return to Beverly Hills to help

"Oh, we'll write some lines, and
maybe Eddie will improvise a little
and come up with some really funny
jokes. He's a hilarious guy. He has that
terrific laugh , and his comic timing is
right on target."
"You know, this film sounds pretty
bad. Murphy will be hilarious , but the
plot stinks."
"Who cares! It'll make millions!"

The film did make millions. In fac t,
it was the biggest money-maker of
1987. Thc first Beverly Hills Cop
deserved to be a box-office smash
because it was a good movie, but
Beverly Hills Cop 2 is only fair. Eddie
Murphy is hilarious in the title role,
but the plot is a bagful of crime thriller
cliches.

Ban on night games at Chicag o's Wrigley Field is revoked

by Bob Seder and Wendy Leopold
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

One of the last links to the golden
age of major league baseball was all
but severed Thursday when the Chicago City Council revoked a ban on
nightgames at Wrigley Field, homeof
the National League Cubs.
The 29-19 vote clears the way for
the Cubs to install lights and begin
playing a limited number of home
games after dark this summer - more
than a half century after the rest of
baseball began doing so.
State anti-noise restrictions still bar
night contests at Wrigley, but legislative leaders have long pledged that
they would quickly scrap those I _irriers _>nce the city moved.
The council action represents a
major victor-,' for The Tribune Co., the
giant media conglomerate that has
pressed for ni ght baseball ever since it
bought the franchise from chewing
gum magnate William Wrigley in
1981.
Tribune officials recently threatened to move the team lo the suburbs
if they did not get their way.
But the vote left irate residents of
the Wrigley ville area surrounding the
ballpark crying "foul. " They claim
ni ght games will rob residents of
scarce on-street parking spaces and

turn thc peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood into a summertime haven for
drunks staggering out of the stadium
and nearby bars.
Vowing to go down swinging, opponents have threatened everything
from a last ditch lawsuit lo block the
erection of lights to a move to force a
referendum on whether to vote the
prccint around the ballpark dry.
Technically, that would not stop the
Cubs from playing at ni ght, but it
would keep them from selling beer an essential lubricant for many
diehard fans who have suffered with
the team through a long procession of
losing seasons.
"Lights will mean total chaos,"
moaned Dennis Kowal , who has lived
less than a block from the park for the
last 43 years. "We wouldn 't have no
rest, no peace."
Despite Ihe uproar, thc team did not
get carte blanche to play whenev er it
wants.
Thc council action limits the Cubs
to only 8 night games in thc 1988
season and then to no more than 18
regular games a year over the next 13
seasons.
But even that was too much for
some neighborhood residents, who
said thc Cubs in recent years had set
club attendance records and did not

need night baseball to draw bigger
crowds.
"We've managed to get the best
attendance for the worst team ," said
Charlotte Newfeld, a member of antilights group called C.U.B.S, short for
Citizens United for Baseball in Sunshine.
Though the showdown over lights
has been simmering for years, in thc
end it came down to a classic Chicago
struggle between clout and tradition,
and was foug ht with all thc subtlety of
a bcanball p itch. When support for
lights seemed to be wavering in the
council a few weeksago , The Chicago
Tribune, thc flagship publication of
thc Tribune chain , accused aldermen
in print of being "boneheads" and
"political bums." Pretty soon, the
newspaper said , opponents would be
left with nothing but a "hole in the
ground" where the 73-year-old stadium now stands.
Chicagoans like their baseball
brimming with tradition , if not with
victories. The American League
White Sox play in a stadium built in
1910, the oldest in baseball. It docs
have lights, however.
Wrigley is probably baseball's
most striking th rowback to the charm
of its early years. Tlie fiel d is covered
with sod , not astroturf , the walls are

covered with ivy, the scoreboard is
still hand-operated and the seats are
close to the field. Instead of being
ringed by parking lots, the stadium is
lined by turn-of-the century apartment houses whose residents watch
games for free from lounge chairs on
their roofs.

Decades ago, the Cubs were planning to play night games and had even
begun to instal l the superstructure for
light standards. But World War II
slopped construction. After thc war,
William Wri gley promised area residents he would not disrupt their lives
with ni ght baseball .
But all that changed when the team

changed hands . In addition to the
newspaper, the Tribune Co. owns the
television and radio stations that air
most of the team 's games. During
weekdays, ni ghttime broadcasts command higher advertising revenue than
daytime broadcasts.
The Tribune Co. was also under
pressure from other major league
baseball owners and television networks, who feared low ratings from
daytime games if the Cubs, who finished last in their division in 1987,
should somehow, someday, get hot
and reach the playoffs or World Series.
A few years ago, league officials
had discussed forcing the Cubs to play

from page 8
rang up three straight goals to regain
the lead . Pctrulla , Bob Weiss and
Valli scored ihe Huskies' goals and
gave Bloomsburg a 5-3 lead headed
inlo the third period.
The Huskies would not let Harrisburg get any closer as they outscorcd
them 3-2 in Ihe period ending the
game wiih a final score of 8-5. The
Huskies final goals came from Weiss,
Joyner and Pctrulla as each had two in
tlie game.
The Husky defense , consisting of
Bob Zarko, Andy Wilson , Barbush
and Forkcr stopped Harrisburg 's two
top scorers only allowing them to get

_
one goal between the both of them.
Mark Prince filled thc big skates of
Mike Donchez admirabl y as he
played very well in the net.
Bloomsburg seems to be showing
an extreme amount of confidence as
they look forward to tonight 's opening game against a team which they
went 1-2 against during thc regular
season. They won their first meeting
6-5 and lost thc last two, 10-1 and 8-5.
Although Wilkes' size and experience do give them an edge over
Bloomsburg, some Huskies do not
think this will be the case. Sophomore
forward Pelrulla said, "Although they
do have.thc experience and size ad-

potential post-season games elsewhere if they did not get lights.
Underscoring the financial impact
of lights to other teams, major league
baseball owners Thursday voted to
award the 1990 All-Star game to the
Cubs - but only if the game could be
played at night.
Such actions only reinforced claims
by opponents of night baseball that
the council was being railroaded by
moneyed interests trying to fatten
their profit margines.
"Is it need or is it greed," charged
Alderman Bernard Hansen, who represents the Wriglcyville area in the
city council. "It's real easy to see. It's
greed."

Ice hockey clnb makes finals

vantage, I feel that if we work together
like we have been, the series will not
go three games, we'll juice 'em in
two."
Junior Emmett Phill ips had more
convincing comments to make, "So
far all the games have been exciting
and intense. We're pumped up and
looking forward to crunching some of
their big gunners."
T.J. Joyner added , "they are a more
experienced team because they 've
been playing together and now being
juniors and seniors who are very big,
opposed to us being a team consisting
of mostly freshman and sophomores
playing together for the first time and
being smaller, but faster."
"It should make for a very interesting and intense series. It is kind of like
USA vs. USSR but here I know for
sure that we will pull off 'the miracle'"
Commenting on the physical aspect
ofthe game, he also added arrogantly,
"No matter how physically overpowered we are, we can give hits too and
we expect to give as much as we
receive. We came this far and we
expect to come out on top.
The best of three series begins to

federal officials said Wednesday.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
said 12 of the arrests were made in
Virginia, and the others were made or
expected in California , Florida ,
Maryland , Michi gan , Minnesota,
Montana, Nevada, North Carolina,
Texas and West Virginia.
In Alaska, five airplanes used in
illegal hunting were seized in Anchorage, and special agent Wally Soroka
of the Fish and Wildlife Service said
some of Alaska's best known, longtime big game hunting guides allegedly engaged in illegal activities to
guarantee their clients a trophy.
The Alaska guides were not among
the two dozen arrests nationwide, but
Soroka predicted charges would

come later when thc investigation was
completed.
Hunters , with help from their
guides , illegally took numerous
brown bears and caribou from the
Alaska Peninsula southwest of Anchorage, Soroka said.
Thc operation included the setting
up of the bogus Abrams Creek guide
service in Purcellville, Va., as a cover.
The undercover service was advertised in national magazines, sporting
shows and by "word of mouth" in an
effort to trap illegal hunters, the
spokesman said.
The extent of the illegal taking of
black bear in Virginia and parts of
North Carolina and West Virginia
was not expected by the service, the
spokesman said. He said that poaching occurred in and around the Shenandoah National Park and that at
least 100 black bears were taken illegally over the last two years.
In some cases, the violations included the illegal hunting of game
from the air.

The learning Bloomsburg grapplers
never stops Stalling call on Ippolite
Mike Mullen
results in a drawn match
Sports Editor
FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Education .
After all that is what it's all
about. That is what each and every
one of us is here for. An education.
There is a hackneyed phrase
that says, "College teaches you
more out ofthe classroom than in
classroom." Althoug h overused,
it is true and this past weekend I
found out wh y.
From Thursday until Sunday, I
was in New York City with thc
WBUQ/WBSC staff for an Intercollegiate Broadcasters convention. It was three days filled witli
seminars and discussion panels
covering a wide variety of topics.
Although hclpflul and informative, these sem inars are not what I
was alluding to earlier.
Thc hotel that we stayed in was
directl y across the street from
Madison Square Garden which
coincidentally was where the
Indoor Track and Field Championshi ps were being held Friday
night.
Late Friday night , after some
socializing with other schools, I
was headed back to my room
when I met one of my neighbors.
Sabrina Dornhoefer was her
name, and when I asked what she
was in New York for , she told me.

"Guys are a distraction,
they take my mind off of
running "
-Sabrina Dornhoefer
She had competed m the meet
across tlie street and did very well
(she won the 3000 m race in a time
of 9:03, but that is irrelevant). Curious and full of questions, I began
to talk to her.
It turned out that she was sponsored by Nike, which brought up
some interesting questions and
paradoxes concerning amateur
versus professional athletes. We
talked about that for a long time
discussing exactly what she could
and couldn 't do.
I asked her about what her life
was like. She told me about her
rigorous training schedules and
mentioned some of tlie upcoming
events that she would be competing in.
She was the daughter of a career
man in the Army so she had been
around. She went to Missouri, so
we talked about Derrick Cheivous, and she told me what he was
like and that he is as much of a
character as the press says he is.
When her roommates came
back, we talked some more comparing the three's ideas on different things. All three were sponsored by Nike, and strangely
enough , finishedone, two, three in
the 3000 m race.
They told me about Mary
Decker and how good she was and
how much they wished she wasn't
running the 3000 at the Olympic
trials.
When Sabnna mentioned that
she was waiting for a phone call, I
jokingly said it was from a guy she
met. But Sabrina, it seemed,
hadn 't dated in quite some time.
"Guys are a distraction to me," she
said, "They take my mind off of
running."
By contrast, Nan Davis, One of
her roommates, was manied, interestingly enough to a former
wrestler from Iowa, who wrestled
Rocky Bonomo at nationals.
It's a small world.
But not small enough.
Although we exchanged
adresses, I highly doubt that I will
ever see her again and it is a
shame.
I learned more from Sabrina
Dornhoefer in that one evening
than I have in two years here in
Bloomsburg, in and out of the
classroom.
I guess education is what it 's all
about.

Thc Bloomsburg University Ice
Hockey moved one step closer to
glory by eliminating second-seeded
Harrisburg-PMC in die semi-final
round of die NEPHL playoffs sweeping the best of three scries with two
straight wins.
Harrisburg was a team that
Bloomsburg had not beaten all season
and was thc heavy favorite over the
diird-secdcd Huskies. With the wins ,
Bloomsburg advances lo the finals ,
again best of dirce, to face the vetera n
club team and number one seed
Wilkes-Barrc Wings , from Wilkes
College. The first game i.s tonig ht at
7:15 p.m.
Thc Huskies advanced to the semifinal round by defeating Kings College in the opening round.
Harrisburg had drawn a bye for thc
first round so it was their first playoff
appearance. Bloomsburg was a big
underdog considering the fact that
they were entering die scries with a

handicap. They had just lost their
starting goalie , Mike Donchcz , to
knee surgery and had lo call upon the
services of back-up freshman goalie,
Mark Prince.
Prince , who was just coming off of
a knee inj ury which also required
surgery earlier in thc season , had been
oui of action since November after he
had posted a 2-1 record for himself
after three starts.
Also returning to ihe Husky line-up
was co-captain Tom Barbush. Barbush was recovering from a broken
ankle.
All of these factors made it seem as
thoug h Bloomsburg would down two
goals before ihe scries even began.
But thc Huskies turned thc tabels as
Uie two returnees played major roles
in Bloomsburg 's success.
Game one of thc scries proved
promising as Bloomsburg took it by a
score of 11 -9. In this game, the first
period was dominated by Harrisburg,
the second was dominated by
Bloomsburg and thc third by Alan

Filiault.
The Huskies opened the scoring
when their third line, consisting of
Pete Valli , Keith young and Tim
Herb, unexpectedl y tallied two quick
goals within thc first three minutes of
play.
Valli got the first one from Young
and Herb, then freshman defenscman
Sammy Forker scored the second on
an assist from Valli .
Harrisburg pulled within one soon
after and continued lo dominate the
rest of thc period as they put a great
deal of pressure on the Bloomsburg
defense and goalie Mark Prince.
The Huskies took their slim 2-1
lead into the second period and outskated PMC in every aspect of the
game, keeping the pressure in their
zone for most of the period.
Bloomsburg got their second period goals from Tom Barbush ,
Forker, his second of the ni ght , Mick
Pctrulla and Filiault, as he gave a
preview of the clinic he was about to
put on in the third period by scoring

his first of five goals on the night.
Harrisburg countered with three
goals of their own in the second closing it with a 6-4 score.
Headed into thc third , Bloomsburg
new the importance of scoring the first
goal of thc period to keep momentum
on their side. Filiault responded to the
by immediatel y by opening the third
period scoring.
Jim Kortnic netted a goal before
Filiault tallied his final three. Harrisburg did score five goals in a comeback attempt , thwarted by Prince in
thc Bloomsburg 's 11-9 win.
Needing only one more win to get to
thc finals , the Huskies were fired up
and , behind plenty of fan support,
entered the second game of the series.
Kortnic lit die fuse shortly after the
opening face-off before Harrisburg
tied it midway through the period
before T.J. Joyner put the Huskies
ahead 2-1 with 3:37 left.
PMC went up 3-2 midway through
thc second period before Bloomsburg

f o r The Voice
Bloomsburg University senior
heavyweight Ron Ippolite says he is
doing something this season that he
neglected to do in his first three seasons of wrestling at the school and
that is, commit!

Ippolite , a 1983 graduate of Hi ghland Regional High School in Blackwood, N.J., says that he has made an
all-out commitment to thc sport in his
final year. "Thc buck stops here,"
says Ippolite, "It's my last chance to
fulfill my goal of becoming an AllAmcrican."

Commitment , as defined by
Webster ' s Dictionary, is obligating
ones self to take on responsibility.
Ippolite is doing that by example.
He has obli gated himself to be the
bcsl, and with a record of 21-5-1, a
first-place finish in thc Bloomsburg
Invitational , runncrup finishes in the

Lehigh tournament and Pennsylvania
Conference championships, it seems
that the commitment is paying off.
"The biggest difference between
my wrestling now in comparison with
previous seasons is that I have matured ," says Ippolite.
"I understand what it takes to be
good." He support^ the notion that to
be a successful wresder you have to
be mentally and physically tough.
" A tough mental attitude is something that I lacked before ; but now,
with the help of the coaching staff
(head coach Roger Sanders and assistants Carl Poff and Tom Martucci),
I' m as hard nosed as anybody I face ,"
says Ippolite.
Sanders believes that Ippolite 's
success is coming from his total
commitment to life, not just wrestling.
"Ron has committed himself in
every aspect of his life. His education
has become more of a priority, and
that has acted as a catalyst for his
commitment to wrestling," says
Sanders.
Ippolite, a secondary education/
communications major, feels that the
closeness ofthe team has aided him in
his commitment this season.
"The team is a very supportive
group. When you get down on yourself, there is always someone there to

pick you up." He also believes that
being chosen team captain influenced
his desire to commit to wrestling.
"When I was chosen team captain , I
decided that I wanted to be a positive
role model for the younger guys on the
team, and you can't do that by slacking off at practice."
Teamwise the senior has helped the
Huskies to a 12-5-1 record thus far ,
including two matches that were decided on victories by him.
The young team is currently ranked
15th by Amateaur Wrestling News
(AWN) and 15th in the National
Wrestling Coaches Association Poll.
Ippolite, who was recentl y ranked
12th in the individual ranking by
AWN, is now 5-0-ln Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) action, and is one
of the favorites to win at thc league
tournament.
As far as the rest of the season is
concerned, Ippolite seems to know
what he wants.
My goals are to be the EWL champion and to place in the top eight at nationals," says Ippolite. "But I don't
want to get ahead of myself, I'll just
take them one match at a time."
"Committing to wrestling has been
a growing up period for me. I' ve been
successful thus far,and I justhope that
it will be the key to an AU-American
finish."

Those who attended Friday 's rival
match between Bloomsburg University and Penn State know how one call
can change thc outcome of an entire
match.
In a heated battle that involved thc
audience as much as it did the teams
and coaches, Bloomsburg tied Penn
Suite 18-18. It wasn 't thc wrestling of
PSU that earned them thc tic, it was a
hi ghly controversial call by referee
Robert Pankakc.
PSU did not hold up to their top ten
ranking as Bloomsburg copped six of
ten bouts and had a draw. Bloomsburg
maintained total control throughout
the entire match and dazzled the Nittany Lions head coach , Rich Lorenzo ,
with smooth , clean tough moves.
It wasn 't until thc heavywei ght
match that thc house fell down.
PSU's Dan Mayo , who usually
wrestles at 177, moved up two weight
classes to heavyweight to take on Ron
Ippolite.
Thc first two periods saw no action
as Mayo wascontinually backing off
from Ippolite. Then stalling calls,
which the partisan crowd thought
should have been against Mayo, were
called against Ippolite.
In thc third period , "the call ," as it
will be remembered, was made.
Pankake awarded PSU one point for a
stalling call on Bloomsburg and gave
the 2-1 decision to Mayo.
Thc Nelson crowd seemed to beg lo
differ with "the call" and made it
obvious that they weren 't happy. But
in thc end , Bloomsburg fans had every reason to be proud of the coaches
and team.

Mark Hunks survived un early scare in his mutch tu take a victory at 167 pounds in thc recent match against Penn State that
