Heating
project
continues

by Karen Trimbath
for The Voice
The orange, plastic fencing surrounding the front of the Bakeless
Humanities Center seems to be the
creation of an environmental artist.
However, this area is part of an
ongoing construction project lo replace wornout condensate pipes in
order to increase BU's heating efficiency.
Don McCulIoch, director of BU's
Physical Plant and Energy Management said, "This project is very important. Right now, the campus' heating system is losing 22 percent of
steam through pipes."
He explained that BU's central
boiler plant heats water using coal and
discharges the steam through underground pipes. After heat is released to
the campus buildings, the steam condenses and returns to the plant.
According to McCulIoch, "The
leaks in the condensate pipes let water
escape. Ordinarily, the returning
water is around 180 to 200 degrees
Fahrenheit With escaping condensate, we must use fresh water which is
40-50 degrees. It takes more coal to
heat fresh water, so it is inefficient."
He estimates that $6,000 is spent
each month for the extra coal. "We
still consider this heating system to be
excellent. We have the highest rating
of all the universities operating on
steam in this state. Heating with coal
is one-third the cost of electricity.
This savings is reflected in the tuition," McCulIoch said.
The campus buildings will not be
affected because the new pipes are
laid directly over the old ones.
The construction starts by the
Waller parking lot, and extends to
Bakeless and the roadway between
North and Luzerne Halls.
McCulIoch said a state bill was
passed in 1980 providing $2.5 million
for the reconstruction, but a contractor wasn't hired until 1987 because of
governmental efforts to improve state
prisons.
"This slowed our plans ,"
McCulIoch said.
McCulIoch said the project is on
schedule should be completed by July
1988.

ROTC:
It's a gas

for The Voice
Bloomsburg University's Army
ROTC gained practical experience on
Tuesday, March 1, about nuclear,
biological and chemical warfare protection.
Cadet Robert Karnes, a senior
chemistry major, taught the company
about the history of chemical warfare.
Since the Greeks first experimented with it, chemical warfare has
affected civilians.
During World War II, British
school children had to carry protective masks. To allay their fears, artist
Walt Disney designed a mask which
looked like Mickey Mouse.
After the historical review , the
company split into their respective
platoons for two stations.
The first station donned the Mission Oriented ProtectivePosture, also
known as the MOPP suit.
Once a year, Army personnel must
wear this suit for eight hours doing
their usual duties.
The second station taught cadets
decontamination using the M13 individual decontamination kit which is
used to decontaminate clothing,
equipment and weapons. The M258
kit is used to decontaminate skin.
BU Army ROTC attempts to teach
cadets things that are both interesting
and practical in the military. For more

Daughter believes dream
by Gordon Ovenshine
Slippery Rock Rocket News Editor
The face, the mannerisms and rhetoric were familiar.
And so was the message.
Vestiges of the late Martin Luther King Jr. were
apparent Tuesday night when his oldest child told a University Union audience that the ugly letters of discrimination still pester America.
Yolanda King, actress, director, lecturer, told the 400
person gathering her father 's dream of establishing a
society in which all people are considered equal remains
unrealized.
"We as black people and humanity have not reached
the promised land," King said, mimicking her father.
"We are still bumping into each other in the wilderness.
And that magnificen t dream articulated and fiercly pursued by my father is still only a dream."
King blamed many of the current social problems on
bad fiscal and economic policies. Any country that
spends 10 times as much on ways to destroy life than on
educating its citizens is toying with destruction, she said.
The dream must never be forgotten , she said. Students
must get "up off their apath y" and remember the tremendous sacrifices that were made during the civil rights era
(1954-1968), she said.
She said she supported the decision to designate a
national holiday in remembrance of her father, but insisted that its purpose should be to keep alive the memory
of the civil rights movement in this country, not her
father's birthday.
"We must never forget that discrimination was at one
time a very fiber of our government," she said. "Because
certainly, what you forget, you are doomed to repeat."
King said many contemporary college students don 't
remember the tumultuous civil rights struggle. They
don't remember the sitting at the back of the bus, the

lynchings, the snapping dogs, the sneering fire hoses or the
"white/colored-only" signs.
"The movement rocked the whole world and brought the
South, finally, into the 20th century ," King said.
Fifty million people in this country are functionally illiterate, and still the Pentagon continues to spend $1 billion
a day on defense , King explained. "And the perverted sickness of it all is that we still don 't really feel safe," she said.
Our priorities are warped, she said. She added that basic
reading and writing skills must be provided if Americans
are to move out of the stagnancy that exists in our communities.
Racism is not the only culprit of discrimination, King
said. Greed - an obsessive need to be powerful - contributes.
Six percent of our population owns and controls 70
percent of means and production while 35 million people
continue to live at the poverty level, she said.
"For far too many people - both black and white - it is not
even a question of getting a piece of the pie, because by the
time the pie gets around to them , th ere's nothing left in the
pie plate but a few crumbs," she said.
Fiscal stability and economic security will remain uncertain as long as we allow poor education and unemployment
to run rampant through our nation , she added.
King said black history and its contribution to world
history should not be thought about only once a year - in
February, the coldest and shortest month of the year. .
"It is imperative that we know our history," she said.
"For you really cannot know the history - the true story of
America - unless you also know the story of black America."
She urged students to get involved in organizations on
and off campus that promote human rights.
Quoting her father, she said, "Either we will learn to live
together as brothers and sisters, or we will perish as fools."

Anthropologist Donald Johanson,
discoverer of the famous 3.5 millionyear-old fossil "Lucy", gave his lecture, "A New Perspective on the
Human Family Tree" in Carver Hall
Auditorium Monday night.
Johanson discussed anthropological discoveries and how theories of
human origin change as more discoveries are made.
According to Johanson , Charles
Darwin predicted that humans could
possibly find their ancestors in Africa, home to the chimpanzee, which
happens to be man's closest relative.
A two-percent, genetic variance differentiates modern men and chimpanzees and gorillas, Johanson said.
Raymond Dart first discovered the
Australopithecus , considered by
some scientists to be the "missing
link" between man and ape, in Africa
in 1925, Johanson said. He added that
many scientists disagreed with this.
But a Scottish anthropologist,
Robert Broom, believed Dart's discovery was the "missing link". In
Northern Transvaal of Africa , Broom
found a fossil similar to Dart's A ustralopithecus that had many large
chewing muscles which suggest it
was a "specialized vegetarian."It also
had a "fairly large brain and was
walking," Johanson said. Broom
named this fossil Australopithecus
robustus.
Renowned anthropologist Louis
Leakey developed paleoanthropology, which is the study of and search

Contras are backed

House Democratic leaders, seeking
to firm up support from wavering
liberal members before Wednesday's
showdown vote, announced Tuesday
that a number of U.S. peace groups
are backing the party's plan to provide humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan Contras.
The endorsements should make it
clear that the Democratic proposal,
which will be voted on along with a
Republican alternative, is "the lesser
of two evils,"saidRep. David Bonior,
D-Mich., the party's chief House
spokesman on Central American issues.
Last week, Democratic leaders
were embarrassed when a scheduled
vote on Contra aid was postponed
after party liberals rebelled at the idea
of sending even non-military aid to
the rebels. Now, they are confident
these members will support the $30
million package.
"It's a question of voting for this
proposal, which we think will further
the peace process, or voting no and
paving the way for another vote in
Congress on military aid ," said
Bonior. "Once that word gets out ,
we'll be able to make our point that
much easier."
The problem surfaced last month,
after House Democrats narrowly defeated a White House aid proposal
that included military aid. Speaker

for human origins, Johanson said.
In 1959, African exploration efforts shifted to Olduvai in Northern
Tanzania , where Leakey's wife,
Mary discovered A. boisei or the
"Nutcracker" fossil , named so for its
"huge chewing muscles?" Johanson
said.
Johanson proceeded to discuss his
own expeditions and discoveries,
including that of "Lucy."
While walking in Hadar in the Afar
Triangle of Ethiopia on his way back
to camp, Johanson saw a "piece of
armbone" that his research team had
not noticed protruding from a hillside.
The skeleton he discovered would
become known as "Lucy," after the
Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds," which was playing during the team's celebration of the discovery.
Lucy is classified as Austrolopithtecus Afarensis, named after Dart's
discovery and the Afar Triangle.
Johanson also talked about discovering of a 3.2 million-year-old adult
skeleton that stood about 3.5 feet tall.
Johanson said, "The arms are proportionately much larger than the legs,"
which indicated that it was probably
climbing as well as walking.
In 1974, Johanson 's research team
discovered fossils of 13 adults and
children, known as the "First Family." He said they died simultaneously, possibly because of a flash
flood or hurricane.
Johanson is the founder and current
director of The Institute of Human
Origins in Berkeley, Calif.

Jim Wright, D-Tex., won the support
of about 30 moderates on that vote
after promising them that they would
be able to vote on an alternative package of humanitarian assistance, including food , clothing and medicine.
Since then, however, Democratic
leaders have been trying to win the
support of "nervous" party liberals.
They persuaded several peace organizations long opposed to the Contras to
endorse the Democratic package of
$30 million in humanitarian aid, contending that a defeat of their plan
would trigger a new White House
request for military assistance.

Student
cited for
alcohol

A 20-year-old Bloomsburg University student was cited for underage
possession of an intoxicating beverage Thursday, February 25.
According to police records, Christopher Cassa was stopped on Old Berwick Road and given the citation by
Patrolman Dave Edgar at approximately 9:50 p.m. for transporting a
keg of Old Milwaukee beer.
A person must be 21 years old to
transport intoxicating beverages.

According to the PICPA, the scholarship fund trustees will award ten
scholarship of $ 1,000 and 20 scholarships of $500.
Honorable mention awards of $100
will be given to students from about
75 state colleges and universities.
The students should find out near
the semester's end if they qualify for
the scholarship money.
Even if they don't, just being nominated is quite an accomplishment,
McClellan said.

What has happened to the United
States lately? Americans love the
sound of "America, the land of the
free" and "Russia, the evil empire."
The sad thing is the people in other
countries once believed those statements. Unlike most Americans, most
of these countries now see the truth .
No longer is the United States
looked at as the great free country. It
is now looked at as an oppressing
country that will do anything to anybody as long as it benefits itself.
This view from abroad , unfortunatel y, is more correct today than
most Americans like to believe.
One good example of the United
States oppressing for its own good is
Pakistan .

make free decisions about who to
trade with and who to work with.

At Large

Another one bites the sacred dust

by Ellen Goodman
Editorial Columnist
When Jimmy Swaggart fell from
grace, the event resounded as loudly
as a golden idol hitting a marble
temple floor. The fall , like the rise of
this evangelical, made for high televised drama. At its peak, he cried out,
"I know that so many of you will ask,
'Wh y? Why?' I have asked myself
that 10,000 times through 10,000
tears."
Swaggart had preached mightily
against sin , unforgivingly against
weaknesses in his brother preachers
and bitterly against pornography.
"Pornography titillates and captivates the sickest of the sick and makes
them slaves to their own consuming
lusts...ensnares its victims in a living
hell," he once wrote. It appears now
he knew a good deal about the living
hell.
But it wasn't just Swaggart 's flock
that asked "Why? Why?" as they
found out the details - the motel strip
he cruised regularly, the $13-an-hour
motel room where he is said to have
paid a prostitute to perform pornographic acts, all in the shadow of a
billboard that reads, "Your Eternity Is
at Stake."
The most cynical and secular

people I know seemed somewhat
bewildered. Listing the sex-scandal
ministers alphabetically from Jimmy
Bakker to Marvin Gorman to Jimmy
Swaggart, many of them asked,
"What's with these guys?"
In the week that followed , I
watched two distinct sets of answers
to that question and to Swaggart 's
"Why?" emerge. They reveal a split in
American Society that runs deeper
even than the split in Swaggart 's life.
A split between those who analyze
human failings in the terms of psychology and those who analyze them
in the terms of scripture.
To the millions who worship in
Swaggart's church and through his
televised ministry, the minister lost a
round in the battle between God and
the Devil. To the secular millions
who've absorbed psychoanalytic
terms into their everyday vocabulary,
he lost in a battle between the superego and the id.
To the first group, he was a sinner.
To the second group, he was screwed
up. The first group described a
struggle between the forces of light
and darkness. The second described
the subconscious urges that led to the
motel strip where he was caught by
his arch-rival.

These two American cultures
spoke in their own distinct languages.
Even words like healing and counseling have different meanings in their
dictionaries. If, for example, Jimmy
Swaggart's wife had written to Ann
Landers that her minister-husband
had an obsession with pornography,
she would have been directed to "seek
help."
But it would have been a very differen t sort than the "counseling" prescribed by the Assemblies of God. As
distant as prayer is from psychotherapy.
¦The fundamentalist and therapeutic
cultures in this country are not always
crisply divided. Confession has much
in common with what Freud called
"the talking cure."One group's soul is
the other 's psyche. Most of us are at
least somewhat bilingual. The therapeutic language has infiltrated fundamentalist speech, the words of a moral
code are rampant in a secular world.
Fundamentalist Tammy Bakker
described her use of contributionsfor
personal shopping as "therapy."
More than one secular supporter
judged Gary Hart 's behavior as both a
character and a moral flaw, two parts
stupid, one part wrong. At their edges,
feel-good fundamentalists and feel-

good therapy offer the same promises.
But between the hard-core groups,
there are more than differences of vocabulary. There are conflicts as great
as one's focus on the afterlife and the
other's focus on the here and now.
Swaggart himself railed against psychology as a modern devil . There are
therapists, in turn, who accept everyone and everything except religious
self-righeousness.
The gap is particularly great in
regard to sex, the centerpiece for the
Bakker-Gorman-Swaggart trilogy.
Swaggart said more than once, "Victory over flesh does not come easily."
B ut no child of the Freudian ere would
speak of victory over flesh as if Eros
were the epemy of Psyche.
Indeed Freud believed that trouble
came when sexuality was in conflict
with the spirit.
The Swaggart story is the essence
of a larger melodrama, played before
two American cultures. One that
thinks the preacher was led astray and
another that think he's a neurotic
mess. One thinks he can be saved and
the other thinks he could use a shrink.
And it isn't just one congregation in
Louisiana that speaks in tongues that
sound strange to outsiders.

Iraqi missile attack
adds new life to war

by Charles P. Wallace
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service
Iraqi missiles rained down on Tehran Tuesday, hitting civilian centers in the
Iranian capital and.apparently changing the character of the 7-ycar-old IranIraq War .
Iraq said it fired at least 16 missiles at the city in 28 hours.It was the first time
that ground-launched Iraqi missiles had hit the capital, and according to reports
from Iran , at least 27 people were killed.
Later Tuesday , Iran replied with at least three missiles fired into Baghdad.
The barrage caused a number of casualties and destroyed houses and shops, an
Iraqi military spokesman said.
The Iraqi attack appears to involve new technology and a new strategy . In
August, Iraq said that it had test-fired a missile capable of reaching Tehran ,
more than 200 miles from the frontier , but until this week the missiles had not
been used in combat.
Iraqi spokesmen said that the missiles were produced domestically, but
some military analysts said they believed that the weapons wcre"supplied by
the Soviet Union and were altered to some extent in Iraq."
Radio Tehran said that Iran accused Moscow of supplying the missiles to
Iraq . It said the Soviet ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the Foreign
Ministry and told that "this is not the first time American policies have been
implemented against us wilh Russian weapons."
Unconfirmed reports last year said that Iraq had acquired SS-12 missiles
from the Soviet Union. The Iranians use Soviet-made missiles, apparently
supplied by Libya and Syria. An Iraqi spokesman said that the missiles used
in the latest attacks were Iraqi-made, with a range of 400 miles. He said that
the attacks were a turning point and would avenge Iraqi war dead.
Telephone reports from Tehran Tuesday described a grim scene, with airraid sirens wailing through most of the night and large areas of the capital
closed off to pedestrian and vehicle traffic because of broken glass.
As the sound of the exploding missiles reverberated through the city,
supporters of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's revolutionary regime reportedly ran into the streets shouting "Allahu akbar!" (God is great).
'It was a ni ghtmare," said Ilnur Cevik, a Turkish newspaper editor who was
visiting Tehran with Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Ozal.
Members of the Turkish delegation said that the Iranians, apparendy
believing that the explosions were caused by bombs dropped from aircraft
rather than by missiles, fired anti-aircraft guns throughout the night.
Iraq said that it suspended the missile barrage against the Iranian capital in
order to allow the Turkish group to leave the country. But even at the airport,
the Turks were forced to debark from their plane as the explosions resumed.
Afterward , Iran warned the people of Baghdad to flee, vowing to take
revenge soon for the missile attack.
"Only the language of force can bring the Baghdad rulers to their senses, and
we will demonstrate who has the real power," Tehran radio Quoted an Iranian
military spokesman as saying.
The attack on Tehran was the worst since a year ago, when the Iraqis attacked
with fighter-bombers. The so-called war of the cities, which began in 1985,
was suspended last year on Iraq's initiative.
The attacks were resumed Saturday .Iraqi warplanes bombed an oil refinery
in Tehran , prompting the Iranians to resume heavy shelling of Iraq's southern
port of Basra.
The Iraqis retaliated, and Monday the Iranians fired two missiles int o
Baghdad , reportedly causing considerable damage to civilian areas.

Republican presidential candidate
Pat Robertson said Tue sday he will
seek to drop his libel suit against former Rep. Paul N. "Pete" McCloskcy,
R-Calif., even though McCloskey has
refused to recant his charge that
Robertson used his father's political
connections to avoid combat duty in
the Korean war.
Caugh t in a political bind as he
faced the prospect of a long trial t hat
is scheduled to begin March 8 "Super Tuesday" - Robertson indicated that he will ask U.S. District
Court Judge Joyce Hens Green to
dismiss the suit he brought against
McCloskey more than a year ago here.
When he filed the libel suit,
Robertson declared that it was essential that he clear up the charges about
his military service if he were to become president. "No man can serve in
that capacity with an unresolved
cloud over his own personal integrity
regarding military service," he said.
But in a Florida news conference,
Robertson said the political calendar
forced him to leave the questions
unresolved. Otherwise, he would
have found himself stuck in a court-

room hearing witnesses challenge his
patriotism and integrity at the height
of the primary season. Theemergcnce
last week of two 1lth-hour witnesses
who strongly support the charge that
Robertson skipped out of combat may
have been another factor influencing
his decision.
While battling McCloskey's challenge to his integrity, Robertson has
also found himself criticized for a
series of charges on the campaign trail
that he has been unable to substantiate. In the past two weeks, for example, he has said he knows there are
Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, a
charge he revived Tuesday. He also
said Vice President Bush 's campaign
may have leaked for political reasons
the information about sexual misconduct that forced evangelist Jimmy
Swaggart to give up his ministry and
that Robertson's television network
told President Reagan the location of
U.S. hostages hidden in Lebanon.
McCloskey 's lawyer , George
Lehner, said McCloskey is "eager to
go to trial" to prove that his charge
against Robertson is true. He said
McCloskey would likely oppose dismissal of the suit unless Robertson
agrees to pay all the legal fees

McCloskey ran up in the suit.
Robertson said last week he would not
pay "one nickel" of McCloskey's
fees.
Robertson has called the judge
"patently unfair" for setting a trial
date in the middle of his campaign. At
a news conference Tuesday night in
Orlando Robertson said, "I had a
choice of either going to court and
defending my honor and the honor of
my father or else not keeping faith
with the millions of people who asked
me to be their president and I just
couldn 't do that to them. There's too
much at stake to spend it in court."
As Marine lieutenants, Robertson and
McCloskey were on a troop ship together en route to Korea when
Robertson was removed from the ship
disproving the charges, if Robertson
were to have any hope for success in
the political world.
Some witnesses in the case support
Robertson 's contention that he did not
take advantage of his father's clout.
Others testified that Robertson regularly bragged that his father would

Dreams necessary

Contest
available
to writers

to maintain sanity

by Linda McLcod
Staff Writer
Dreams have forever fascinated the
world and been a subject of interest to
many great writers. Coleridge ,
Goethe, Stevenson , and Poe, among
others made literature of their own
dreams. They also recognized, long
before the age of psychoanalysis, that
dreams arc the language of the subconscious.
Folklore has always told stories of
dreams that come true , but now science has many well-authenticated
cases. It is indisputable that the phenomena exists but the questions that
remain are how and why? Do our'
sleep ing minds have privilcdge to
inconceivable dimensions of time
other than the present in v. hi eh our
waking bodies live. "
An incident or ' a cire.!"-corr.inc true
helped solve the Rec 3.-_~ Murder
Case. In IS? Man.- Vj .r-.er; r.inawa>
from her village in Suffolk . England
with Will:. 1."- Corder. a farmer. Corder later became ir:\o> ec: with another woman , murdered Maria, and
buried her under the floor of the bam.
He wrote to Mari a ' s parents saying all
was w el!. For a year , no one suspected
a thing.
Then one night. Maria ' s mother
had a dream in which she saw her
daughter ' s murder and burial. The
dream was so vivid and alarming that
she and her husband decided to go and
check on Maria. They found the bam
from the dream, tore UD the floor. .and
discovered the decomposing body of
their daug hter stuffed in a sack.
Perhaps the most overwhelming
fact of modem research is that we
must dream to be healthy. Our bodies
require dreaming just as they demand
food and water.
Anyone who is deprived of dreams
suffers as severely as a person who is
starved.
In 1959, Peter Tri pp, a New York
disc jockey attemped a publicity stunt
which temporarily cost him his sanity.
Tripp announced he was going to
remai n awake for 200 hours . After 72

hours , Tri pp began behaving
strangely . He would roar with laughter at things that were not funny and
take, offense at imaginary insults.
Hallucinations followed. Tripp
thought specks of paint on the turntable were insects, and imagined a
doctor 's coat was made of worms.
Tripp also became convinced that
he was broadcasting from a building
elsewhere in town , and that he had
already finished his 200 hours and was
being tricked into continuing to stay
awake.
Tripp was suffering from "gross
mental illness " according to doctors.
The illness is a result of sleep and
dream dep rivation. The hallucinations he experienced were in fact
dream imagery breaking through into
waking consciousness.
It was recorded that his hallucinations were most intense between midnight 3nd eight a.m. The disc jockey
would have normally been asleep and
dreaming between those hours.
Each night, millions of people
dream millions of dreams. Somemake
no sense, some are terrifying, some
are absurd, and some arc symbolic.
Many dreams have had powerful ef
fects upon their dreamers.

So the next time you wake up from
a dream , don 't simply dismiss them as
meaningless. After all, dreams are the
language of the unconscious and just
maybe , your dreams could change the
world.

The Eurythmics are once again
gliding along on a storm of synthesizers and guitars , riding at a lyrical pace
with gold in their pockets.
The Eurythmics are part of the rock
aristocracy for the time being. Their
success over the past few years (starting wilh the hit single Sweet Dreams
Are Made of This) has turned them
into top concert attractions and they
have responded with heightened enthusiasm , so heightened , in fact , that
they are probably much better now in
person than they are on record , which
used to be their best area.
Certainly, Sa vage is, relativel y
speaking, no great shakes. It is a
mediocre statement that sounds as if it
was intended tc feed the market they
have created. In other words, it sounds
mechanical and a little strained.
Nevertheless, it showcases the

magneti c voice of Annie Lennox and
the guitar flash of her partner Dave
Stewart , and that is not all bad.
Savage is, if nothing else, a great
dance record . It docs not contain
anything comparable to Sweet
Dreams Are Made of This, and yet it
moves with sure-fire locomotion.
The texts of the songs are something else again. Most of the lyrics
come off as elitist cynicism. Love is
the cul prit in virtually every instance. In the Eurhythmies ' version
of it , the conjugal life is fraught wilh
pitfalls. The B-movie-script quality
that marks most of the songs,mocks
the very idea of romantic intimacy.
In that respect, Sa vage is consistent wilh the rest of the Eurythmic's
work. There is a fearsome disrespect
for conventional roles in almost
every cut on Savage.
Shame , especially, takes on the
idea of raised expectations generated

combinauon of technical virtuosity

particularly in one so young."
Time magazine later described
Putnam as a "striking star whose lustrous soprano voices handles high
notes with authority and whose acting
is good enough for Broadway."
Putnam's talented display is astounding to many. It was not until her
sophomore year at the University of
Michigan that she abandoned flute
study for voice training. Even as a
student she began attracting critical
notice. After singing in Michigan's
opera department presentation at the
Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts, a critic for Musical America said
she was "simply astonishing in dual
roles..."
Putnam holds bachelor's and
master's degrees from the University
of Michigan.
Since college, Putnam has performed in opera roles from Venice to
San Francisco, in productions from La
Bohcme and La Traviata to Mary,

Opera soprano Ashley Putnam will
be the featured performer for the 12th
annual Weis Cultural Endowment
Performance at Susquehanna University.
Putnam's performance is scheduled
for 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 at
Weber Chapel Auditorium. There is
no admission charge.
The performance is being made
possible by the Stella Freeman Weis
Cultural Endowment, a fund established in 1976 by Sunbury residents
Robert and Patricia Weis to bring
critically acclaimed performing artist
to the Susquehanna stage.
Critics say that Putnam 's combination of vocal and theatrical gifts give
her a unique presence in the opera
world. Her range of repertoire encompasses everything from Mozart to the
contemporary works of Virgil Thomson and Thea Musgave, with Donizetti , Bellini , Rossini, Verdi, Puccini,
Strauss, and Janacek.

Bruce Springsteen sat backstage at
the Centrum arena with his wife, actress Julianne Phillips, chuckling
about how he could ever have fouled
up the words to that song. "Born to
Run," a statement of identity and desire, has played a key role in every
Springsteen concert since he wrote it
in 1975.
But when he cameout for the encore
Sunday night at the second show of his
new U.S. tour, Springsteen forgot the
words of the opening line, stopping
after "The day we ...." After joking
with the audience, he startedagain and
got it right.
The reason for the muff, he explained backstage, was that he was
concentrating so much on the spoken
introduction, telling the audience how
the song has assumed a new meaning
to him over the years.
"I wrote this song when I was 24 and

it was about a guy and a girl who
wanted to run and keep on running, "
he said standing alone on stage,
ready to play a new solo acoustic
arrangement that changed the song
from a youthful declaration of independence to a poignant remembrance of things past.
"As I got older," he continued, "I
realized how much that song was me
and how much I didn't want it to end
up being me. ... I wanted to make a
home for myself somewhere, try and
grow up a little bit. ... A home is a
hard thing to find, and a hard thing to
hold onto. ... Good luck in your
search."
In its revised form, "Born to Run"
underscores one of the key messages
of what may be Springsteen 's most
personal concert approach. Instead
of just talking about growin' up, he is
also speaking of settling down, but
he does the latter with an anxious
realism and convincing warmth that

which houses the organization 's office and "mental-mating" ground.
The theatre's green room , where the

Their primary goal , besides working on the exoti c costumes and set
designs, is to attract more students
into their world.
This organization is an inherent
part of the campus society and involves itself in every department of
theatre work.
"It docs not function in a centralized manner," Mimi says, "Its more
individualistic and has a participa tory
role for each of its members ."
Players expose the students to a

professional environment of theatre
work.
What are the various benefits of
joining the players? "Not only can
you express your creativity," Laura
adds, "but one can also train oneself in
any department of theatre."
Is it more of an exploration into the
world of theatre for students? "Yes,"
according to Mimi , "wc have a wide
range of specialized activities in
which the students can involve themselves. Costume and set designing,
theatre management, public relations
and advertising."
Besides completel y immersing
themselves in theatre, I wondered
what else they derive from being such
a closely knit family of artists.
"Friendship," came the prompt reply.
The staff's consistent guidance has
helped to develop a bond between all
Players members.
Karen , Jody, Jack and Prof. Sato
arc some of the names which always
bring a smile for the players. They
form such an inherentpartof the group
that it 's often difficult to realize that
they arc so much more experienced
than the students.

Sunglasses were a mandatory part of everyone 's wardrodc this past week because of
the warm, sunny days which made us all yearn for SpringBrcak. One more day ...have
p h°'° *» *»!> &¦''¦«•<¦«
a good one!

This kind of friendship fascinates
many new players and delights all
those who jo in.
The Players have staged several
successful plays in the past , such as
Glass Menagerie, Streamers, Wiley
and the Hairy Man , Hamlet and
Doors. "We are very proud of these
productions," said Mimi.
She is also proud of being a student
director, a job that will expand her
talents to the fullest. Command over
decision making on full-length plays
is more of a challenge to her and very
fulfilling.
Why don't the shows attract more
attendance? "Students have come to
expect that theatre is for a few selected arty people and, that is not the
truth ," says Laura , "If you can go and
watch a movie, you can surely enjoy
the theatre as much."
As I walk out of the door,I see Laura
writing on a poster for the next Players
meeting, "Come and join us...we are
too cool." I accept this without a
grudge. For, as Henri Frederic Amiel ,
"The great artist is only a simplifier. "

BU students will be smiling a lot more often now if the weather remains the way it has been the last several days. However,
weathermenwa rn that wc shouldn 't get too used to warm days yet.

1988 cars have continued an old concent

by Glenn Schwab
Features Editor
In the Feb. 29 issue of The Voice J. mentionc din
my column the "more-bang-for-less-buck" approach to manufacturing performance cars.
This was a popular concept during the mid- tolate sixties, enabling younger buyers (the most
interested market) to purchase a fast car , within
their budgets. "More-bang" spawned such great
cars as theFord MustangBoss302,ChevyNovaSS
327/350 and Dodge Dart.
But this idea died out with performance cars in
general in themid '70s, victim of thegovernment's
ever-tigh tening emissions regulations/Compression ratios and hersepower ratings dropped flower
and lower as automakers scrambled to meet emissions requirements, making performance an unknown word.
By 1979,the availability of a big-block V8 in lany
car had been a moot point for three years, afterthe
passing of the 1976 Trans Am's Super Duty 455.
The most potent mill was the Corvette's 230 hp.
350, with the Formula Firebird's 400 coming in a
close second at 220 hp.
But these cars were hardly in the "more-bangfor-less-buck" range.The 'Bird retailed forjj$6,380
and a base Corvette set the buyer backj$13,140.
Performance started to make a comeback in
1982 with the reintroduction of the Mustang GT.
Even though it's 302 V8 developed only 157 hp.,
the GT was a sure sign that the auto industry knew
there were still people out there interested in a
quick car. The Mustang's engine gained more
ponies every year, topping out at 210 hp. in carburated form for 1985. Electronic fuel injection

became standard in 1986, with the little 302 climbing to its present 225 hp. in '87.
With the rebirth of performance also came renewed interest in "more-bang-for-less-buck", because the auto industry knows that there are s'ill
those of us who arc fascinated at the prospect of
going from point A to point B in as little time (and
at as little cost) as possible.
Ford was among the firs t to recognize this by
making the power of their H.O. (Hig h Output) 302
available in the no-frills Mustang LX body as well
as in the hi gher-priced GT model. A base 1988 5.0
liter LX sells for around $10,600, some $2,100 less
than its GT stabler.iate.
Ironicall y, the lower-priced LX is actually a
better perform er than the GT. It doesn 't have the
300 or x> extra pounds of acceleration-robbing
weight , iuch as acro-skirts and other gingerbread ,
that the GT model is saddled with.
This enables the LX to do 0-60 in a quick 6
seconds and top out around 145 mph , figures that
are very close to those of a new Corvette, but at a
third of the price. These factors make the '88 5.0
liter LX the Ix^st American performance buy
around.
¦ M t i t. }-. -i ...
t...'< ¦ -.
'
Ford isn 't the only manufacturer.with the lowbuck market in mind. Chevrolet and Pontiac are
also offering affordable performance machines for
1988 - the Camaro Sport Coupe and Formula Firebird.
But , as usual , Pontiac docs it better. Both cars
retail around $13,800 but this price equips the
Firebird with a healthy 215 hp. TPI (Tuned Port
Injection) 305 V8 while the Camaro is stuck with a
170 hp. version of the same engine with the lesser

Throttle Body Injection (TBI) setup.
The 'Bird also comes with wide 50-series
Goodyear Eagles and a 140-mph speedometer,
more suited to the car's acceleration abilities than
the old 85-mph unit. The Camaro's only advantages are in the looks department, in the form of
lower body aero moldings gained fron the now-defunct Z/28.
With the more powerful engine, the Firebird
turns the quarter-mile in a fairly respectable 14.9
seconds, three-quarters a second faster than the
L03-equipped Camaro.
Though the Sport Coupe is Chevy's only lowbuck performance car, Pontiac offers two more in
this field, a Formula version of the two-seaterFiero
and the Sunbird GT Turbo.
The Formula Fiero comes in at around $ 11,400,
equipped with a 2.8 liter fuel-injected V6 rated at
135 hp. and sporting a rear spoiler and large Formula graphics on the doors.
Going from 0-60 in 8 seconds may not sound like
blistering performance, but it's pretty good for a car
weighing in at 2,775 pounds equipped with only a
small V6.
... With a price in the neighborhood of$13,900,the
little Sunbird GTTu rbo is expensive for its size, but
for those who want the economy of a four-cylinder
with the power of a V8 the Sunbird GT is the way
to go. It 's 2.0 liter 4-cylinder pumps out an impressive 165 hp, booting itpast the quarter-mile at 84.11
mph. in 15.68 seconds.
As long as the folks at Detroit and Dearborn keep
offering cars like these, the low-buck performance
market will no doubt continue to grow for years to
come.

BU professor develops new training system for industry
training package for new employees.
Bailey said this opportunity to mix
theory with hands-on practice gives
students valuable experience.
This exeprience brought the Apple
Corporation to campus two weeks
ago to interview nine students in the
program. "We were the only school
in the country chosen for interviews," Bailey said. "The fact that
they came to Bloomsburg meant a
lot to me."
Some students interviewed will be

by Tom Spock
for The Voice
By combining computer and video
technology, Bloomsburg University
Professor Harold Bailey has developed a useful training device for education as well as for industry.
Interactive video, the integration of
computer screen text and graphics
with audio-visual materials, provides
an individualized environment for
trainees, while saving employers
money.
Bailey, director of Instructional
Systems development, said, "The
purpose of the programs is to provide
training in a more efficient and costeffective way than they have been
done in the past."

These instructional programs
started with work Bailey developed
for Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, and have become a major emphasis in the university's instructional
technology curriculum.
Some of the Geisinger programs
include training for nurses who will
work in intensive care units and instructional programs for paramedics
and emergency medical technicians.
All the training materials are developed in the university's graduate program of instructional technology by
using interactive video as a vehicle to
supply training modules for different
purposes.
Some other educational programs
include poison prevention for four to

seven year olds and AIDS education
for middle school children.
Interactive video also provides useful training for industry. Textron Inc.,
also of Danville, will have a program
developed to train employees on a
computerized milling machine. Before the program, workers would be
sent away for instruction. "Now,"
Bailey said, "the program should train
more people in less time with less expense."

from page 4
year's "Tunnel of Love" album, a
more delicate, sparsely arranged and
personal work, was a deliberate step
from the larger-than-life symbolism
of his massively successful previous
album, "Born in the U.S.A."
"I think the ("Tunnel of Love")
album just sort of happened on one
hand , and at the same time I was interested in personalizing my music. It's
just a natural thing you have to do.
You put something out there, it gets
pulled in and taken up and becomes
part of the culture and part of people's
lives. And then you have to re-invent
yourself. I felt that made sense after
'Bom in theU.S.A." Springsteen says
he never got caug ht up in trying to
match sales figures of "Bom in the
U.S.A."
"The main thing you've got to stop
worrying about is how much the
record's going to sell. My main concern was this: I want to make the best
record I can , and I want to help that
record find its audience, whatever that
is.

"Maybe 'Bom in the U.S.A.' found an
audience that was what, 16 million or
something, and 'Nebraska' found it at
800,000. The important thing to me,
which was one of the reasons behind
thinking of doing this tour, was that I
really felt that the 'Tunnel of Love'
record was one of my very best records, and I said, 'Look, I just want to
make sure this record finds its audience.' "
Springsteen seemed extremely
comfortable sitting on a sofa with his

wife in the dressing room area, a picture that seemed to contradict the
speculation that "Tunnel of Love's"
songs of troubled romance reflected
signs of trouble in his own marriage.
About the album, he said: "I didn't
startout with something that wasautobiographical. Some songs are stories,
some are more a part of my life. The
main thing I tried to do is find real
people in the songs. You have to make
them live and make them be, and then
you have a song."

the next round of interviews. These
positions include full-time employment and internships.
Another company on campus at the
same time was the Lancaster based
ISC Educational Systems. The company came specifically to recruit students for internships.
While two other schools in the
country (San Diego State University
and the University of Georgia) offer
graduate level interactive video training, Bailey believes the program at
BU offers more.

Finom the Wrestling Room
by Mary Ellen Spisak
Staff Writer
Call it dedication , call it devotion,
call them the Bloomsburg University
Wrestling team. This year "has been
one of the most successful and satisfying seasons," says Head BU Wrestling Coach Roger Sanders. Sander 's
16th season achieved a 12-5-1 overall
record this year, and is 4-1-1 in the
Eastern Westling League. The
coaches have trained and projected an
attitude that teaches their grapplers to
never give up! It is evident in the
wrestlers that have left BU, and have
left there winning ways behind.
Names such as "Shorty" Hitchcock,
Rick and Rock Bonomo, just to name
a few. But it is in the 1987-88 team
that we sec the future NCAA champions. This fact is verified by Dave
Kennedy ranked 9th at 126 lbs., Dave
Morgan ranked 6th at 150 lbs., Mark
Banks ranked 10th at 158 lbs. and Ron
Ippolite ranked 12th at Heavyweight.
And the new faces seem to show the
same potential. Tommy Kuntzleman
proves to be at his best this year.
Placed in the starting lineup, Kuntzleman has done a tremendous job at 142
lbs. In the recent match vs. Penn State,
he copped a 7-6 win over junior Rob
Mcloy. Scott Brown proved his po-

tential on the mat has been steady and
consistent. Wrestling at 177 lbs. in the
match against Penn State, he used
quick and agressive moves for a draw
with his opponent. Some other names
to look for are Tony DcFlumeri, Ron
Critchley, Roger Dunn , Tim Casey,
Lenny and Rich Cory. These wrestlers present Bloomsburg with a
promising future. They are dedicated ,
hard working and eager to carry on the
winning tradition here.
In the last match of the season,
Bloomsburg met up with top ranked
Penn State. Nelson Field House could
have exploded with excitement as the
Husky Grapplers won 5 matches and
had a draw. It was the Huskies who
scared the Lions and dominated the
whole match. With everything going
so well , what could possibly go
wrong? Well , a stalling call on the
wrong person atHwt. in the3rd period
with 12 seconds to gojust might do the
trick. Yes, it 's true the unfairness of
one referee Robert Pankakc ended the
match in a tic. Let me emphasize the
fact that Penn State TIED US and not
the other way around! Every wrestler
performed in top condition , with only
excellence in mind. It was truly a
match to see, and if you weren 't there,
you missed it. You missed your last

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Why would
you do it?
Mike MullenSports Editor

Why?
Why would a young man on his
way to big time Division I football
decide to fool around with drugs?
Wh y would someone with so much
going for him just throw it away?
Yes, I am on my soap box. So
what?
In case none of you people read
page seven of The Voice, I would
like to explain myself.
A few weeks ago, a high school
football player, alledgedly dealing
drugs, died of a cocaine overdose.
His name was Rico Lcroy
Marshall. He was 18 years old. He
dealt with drugs.
Now he is dead.
Oh , he was a great guy. He drove
an old car. He would split the cost
of a movie with a date. He wore
fashionable clothes , but they
weren 't lavish. He was on his way
to the University of South Carolina
to play football.
"He wasn 't the type that was concerned about money," a fri end
commented about Marshall.
Unfortunately, he was the type
that dealt drugs.
Basically, it happened like this.
At 1:30 a.m. on a Saturday night ,
two officers in a marked cruiser
were making a routine sweep
through the 1400 block of Nova
Avenue off Marlboro pike in Capitol Heights, less than a mile from
the District of Columbia line.
They saw a young man standing
next to a car and taliking to its occupants. He looked up, saw the
marked car and immediately ran
off and the car sped away," Cpl
Bruce Gentile, spokesman for the
police said.
"He ran almost simultaneously
into the arms of two uniformed officers on foot, they stopped him ,
searched him and found six empty
glassinc envelopes and approximately $150 in currency."
They didn 't find any drugs on
him , so they had no reason to arrest
him.
Two hours later, he was dead.
It seems that he had swallowed
six small chunks of crack, a cocaine
derivative, when the officers approached . The time that elapsed between the encounter with the police
and the time of death is consistent
with the absorbtion rate into the
bloodstream when a drug such as
crack is swallowed.
So, if he got caught, he figured he
could get off if he swallowed it.
Smart move.
If this isn t bad enough, after his
death you have his old teammates
volunteering to take blood tests. "I
think we should have drug testing.
It would be a big step for
Forestville. It's too bad that we had
to wait too long before this kind of
ting had to happen," jun ior Torrence Montgomery said.
Great.
That makes a lot of sense. If he
wasn't using drugs, like most tend
to believe, then tell me how a drug
test is going to do any good.
The problem is not the schools.
They could make mandatory drug
testing a way of life.
The problem is not the streets. A
strong person will say "no" if
taught to do so.
So the problem is - the parents.
A parent who has their son arrested two months earlier for possession of cocaine and does nothing about it is the one at fault.
And what did Marshall's father
say after his son's death?
"I just want to bury my son. My
son knew God. He's in His hands."
What inspiration from a man
whose son is dead.
I don 't do drugs. Neither did Leroy Marshall. He only dealt them.
For all intents and purposes, I could
be the one dead. Dealing is one
thing, taking them is another. A
person who takes drugs is more
likely to overdose than one who
only deals in them.
So for all intents and purposes, it
could have been you.

Bloomsburg women headed to PC playoffs

Huskies preparing to
face IUP in semi-final s
The Bloomsburg University
women 's basketball team will face
Indiana (Pa.) in one semifinal game in
