Social and political reporter for The Washington Post Juan Williams will
discuss civil rights as part of the spring's Provost Lecture Series at
Bloomsburg University.
Williams will speak tomorrow at 8 p.m. in Multi-Purpose Room A of the
Kchr Union. He will discuss the topic "Civil Rights in America." In addition
to the evening lecture, Williams will include an afternoon workshop for
students and faculty at 3 p.m. March 22, in the Forum of the McCormick
Human Services Center. Both events are free and open to the public.
Williams' multimedia program offers, for the first time, a comprehensive
history of the civil rights movement plus an updated analysis of current
controversies affecting minority concerns.
This lecture traces the major events of the civil rights movement including
the march of Sclma, the integration of Ole Miss and school busing in Boston.
Other issues such as affirmative action and political directions also will be
discussed.
Currently a political writer for The Washington Post, Williams has made a
namefor himself in the last 10 years as ajournalistsand civil rights expert. His
recent book, Eyes on the Prize: Americia ' s Civil Rights Years, 1954-1966,
accompanied the PBS s cries of the same title.
During his years as a staff reporter for the Post, Williams specialized in
social and political issues. Special assignments include the presidential
campaigns of Vice President George Bush and Jesse Jackson, recent mayoral
races in Washington D.C. and two years as a White House correspondent.
His writing has appeared in Fortune, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, the
New Republic and Inside Sports. Williams also served as a panelist of
correspondent on a number of public affairs programs on PBS including
Washington Week in Review and has won numerous awards for his writing.
Williams' appearance is sponsored by the University-Wide Committee on
Human Relations.

Nicaraguan issues becoming deadly

by Robert E. Hunter

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

War means that people get killed.
That banality is beginning to dawn on
both sides in the debate about Nicaragua and, in particular, about the future
of the anti-government Contras. Yet
the United States is still far from
drawing appropriate conclusions
about death in Central America.
When Congress voted two weeks
ago to cut off aid to the Contras, it was
not surprising that the Nicaraguan
regime stepped up its military pressure. The only surprises were that it
went so far and has been so successful.
Indeed, the comandantes in Managua may yet rescue the Contras by
creating a backlash in Congress.
Without continued U.S. military
support, it is inevitable that the Contras will in time be defeated in one
way or another.
For the American left there is a
lesson. Whether or not there has been
merit in the Contras and their mission,
they have largely been creatures of
U.S. policy, and there is American
responsibility for their future.
Like them or not, it is immoral to
ignore their fate, just as it was immoral to ignore the fate of the South
Vietnamese who stood with the
United States until the end.
The congressional vote to stop all
aid to the Contras has consequences,
and they must be faced.
The American right, however, is
incorrect in thereby arguing that the

Bring concerns to the top
by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
Bloomsburg University students

During the open forum, every issue
from minority policies to disciplinary
practices will be fair game for question and comment.
This commentary page is frequently filled with letters from concerned students who want answers.
For instance, is the university willing to make on-campus phones available for student safety? Why was the
administration 's disciplinary action
against Beta Sigma Delta so rigid?

When will condoms take their place
between the toothpaste and the cough
medicine in the bookstore?
Someone is asking these questions
and not receiving satisfactory answers. Or, even worse, receiving no
answer at all .
This is our chance to show the big

about what goes on at our school. It is
our chance to find out what policies
are used and why. It is our chance to
show that the apathic label is a fallacy. Take an hour out of your schedule to con/e out and lcam what is happening and why.
As members this community, the

obligation to know what the administration is doing about the issues that
effect us.

Crime victim pushed too far

To the Editor
This letter is written especially to
the guy who grabbed my wallet out of
Centennial Gym Wednesday morning.
I guess you think you arc real tough ,
huh? Personally, I think it shows how
gutless you arc by waiting until I was
in the shower to make your move. Did
you get what you were looking for?
Anyway, you can keep the wallet. It
wasn'tloccxpensivc. I got it free with
the purchase of some Mcmorex tapes
some time ago.
And, as you know , I really didn 't
have a lot of money inside the wallet.
You can keep that , loo. In fact , you
can even keep the checkbook you
managed to swipe.

If , however, there is a small shread
of decency within you , you could return the rest of the contents to the Information Desk or Student Life.
I don 't know what use my I.D. card
is to you , but I would like to have it
back.
I would appreciate if you could
return my driver's license as well.
I realize you are probably gloating
that not only am I older than 21, but
it's also an out-of-state license and
can be changed more easily than
Pennsylvania 's.
However, I would still like to have
it back along with the few personal
items I had in the wallet.
Finall y, I just want to say that
you're the straw that has broken my

back. Nine months ago, I had a different wallet stolen. Twice in the last six
months my car has been vandelized.
I don 't know your name, but fortunately I had the chance to get a good
look at you. The campus police have a
very good description of you.
This dilemma can be resolved if
you would return my driver's license,
my I.D. card and the personal contents.
Keep the wallet, keep the checkbook and keep the money: I don't care
about those.
But if you have any integrity at all,
you will return theses items I've listed
above. No questions will be asked.

AIDS
prevention
is needed

by Linda Badami
Guest Columnist
The administration of this university cares about the physical wellbeing of each student In fact they care
about us so much they require a $20
health service fee from each of us so
that ihcy can care for us. Except if we
get AIDS. Then we just die.
A Walletless Student
If they are truly concerned with our
health they are bound to help us save
our lives: ' 'BlO'ornSburg University
should supply 'edttdoms arid Sexually
active student should use them.vli's
that simple.
Our administration treats a worldwide epidemic with paper .Each of us
received literature about AIDS. Education is an important preventive act,
but far from enough.
Supplying condoms isn 't a guarantee that a student won 't aquire AIDS ,
but it is an effective way to channel the
resources available towards prevention. Someone at this university will
die from AIDS. The statistics arc toe
high to deny this assertion. Once one
person is contaminated , the disease
can be spread in geometric proportions.
As BU students our health is a twofold responsibility. Of course it is our
responsibility and, as stipulated by the
Pennsylvania Legislature, it is the
university's responsibility also.
It is time that the administration
awakens to the needs of their students
by providing a tangible defense
against AIDS.

The odd couple of the campaign trail

by Ellen Goodman
EditorialColumnist
Mike Dukakis and Jesse Jackson.
The manager and the messenger. The
man with the campaign and the man
with the charisma.
We have two proven national candidates now, two democrats with the
political legs to take them from Iowa
to Atlanta to Illinois. And it turns out
that they 're as distant on the political
style spectrum as they can get.
Jackson, a day late and a dollar
short, has become a classic example
of how far you can get in this country
with a strong pitch to values, and an
ability to bond with voters. Dukakis,
aversive to emotion and weak on
message, has become a classic example of how far you can get with a
good organization.
Jackson has been able to put his
mouth where his money isn't, talking
his way into the televised public eye.
Dukakis has kept his eye on the meter,
less a marathoner than a dogged racewalker, with an eye on avoiding potholes.
Yet they both show the same thing:
how a campaign can bea mirror of the
candidate. The two men are shining

examples of style as substance.
To those who live in Massachusetts, the advance of Mike Dukakis
from unknown to head of the pack
isn 't surprising, although the "liberal"
label is. (It may say more about Massechusetts than Dukakis, but he is no
lefty in Bay State eyes.)
Those who knew him asa candidate
for state legislature remember a guy
who worked harder and smarter. He is
not without warmth; the man who
married a young, divorced woman
with a baby long before the days of
"blended" families, the governor who
got home for dinner at night.
But Dukakis, who climbed the
acropolis in his wingtips, has always
looked awkward without a jacket,and
uncomfortable rousing a crowd.
Asked by out-of-staters what
makes Mike run , this Bostonian has
answered:He thinks he can do thejob.
The governor of Massachusetts has
the confidence - maybe the irrational
faith - that the country can be governed well. It 's clear that he wants to
DO it It's a lot less clear what IT he
wants to do.
The national campaign reflects that
part of the candidate's strengths and

weaknesses: He s long on competence, short on vision. The Dukakis
campaign is not using money and
organization to hide the lack of message. In a way, this is the message.
The message of management.
Those attracted to Dukakis are in
large measure attracted to the promise
of competence in making the economy, and the county, work. Massachusetts is only one mini-model for
thesevoters. Thecampaign is another.
Jesse Jackson , way on theotherside
of the style spectrum, is the other
surprisingly strong candidate. He is
the one with star quality, the man who
speaks'in a language that stirred even
the most taciturn of Maine voters into
chants.
Those who 've watched Jackson
don't find his appeal surprising either.
Continually behind schedule, he can
make an audience forget how long
they've been waiting. Continually
unfunded , he can make up for the
deficit with his own energy.
Anyone who has, like this journalist, been singled out by Jackson at
6:30 a.m. on the pre-breakfast, preferry in New York Harbor for a sermon on the drug threat, knows some-

thing about the power of the candidate. To the constituency of the left
and left-out, Jackson 's success is reassuring evidence of the primacy of
message over the paucity of a pocketbook.
But if Jackson knows what he wants
to do, it's notatall clear he knows how
to do it. In Boston, there is an old
saying about incompetent politicians:
That guy couldn 't run a two-car funeral.
Those who doubt Jackson 'sskills at
managing anything, let alone a country, find these doubts reinforced. His
candidacy isn't a management team;
it's a one-man band.
Among all the candidates, these
two front-runners make the oddest
couple. The manager and the messenger. They're as different in style as
any on the campaing trail.
But they do illustrate one value of
the endless endurance contest called
the 1988 presidential campaign.
Eventually, mysteriously, any campaign takes on the persona of the
candidate. If you look hard enough,
you get a preview of what it would
look like if that man moved into the
big headquarters, the White House.

Registrar protests
undeserved blame

To the Editor
The Feb. 22 issue of The Voice
carried a rather lengthy letter from an
anonymous studen t. The headline for
this letter stated "Registrar causes
headaches for senior."
While this particular student did
encounter several headaches over the
last few months, very few , if any of
these headaches were caused by the
registrar.
For example, the student wrote that
three times a request for transcripts
was made to the previous institution.
Actually, the student made the request
only once.
I discovered this fact when I personally contacted the registrar's office at the other university.
Virtually all of the other instances

encountered by the student as expressed in the letter are false or misleading.
I am not questioning the right of
The Voice or any newspaper to publish letters, even letters which contain
criticism. In fact, I welcome criticism
when it is warrcnted.
However, I do question the effect
this type of letter and its headline has
upon the readers of the paper. What
must they think of the registrar?
It's particularly disturbing to me
when a letter such as this one filled
with inaccuracies and falsities is
printed.

To the Editor
I began as a student at Bloomsburg
when it was still a state college, and I
must admit that I was a little polyannic. But having seen Animal House
for the tenth time before arriving, I
figured I was ready for Bloomsburg,
and I was.
I went from being a closet child to
having a rocking good time almost
every weekend. This was a very important part of my college experience.
Not only my educational horizons
were broadened, my social and cultural horizons were broadened also.
Back in those days party nights
consisted of going to a F.A.R.T. party
(does anyone remember these?), go to
a regular party, then to Sal's and back
to the dorms to pass out. That was it,
simple and bridled fun , no damage
and no busts. This is by no means a
defense of underaged drinking, but it
happens.
My firs t few years were great. I was
free of parental restraints and I was

developing my own identity as an
individual.
Then I left for a semester, and when
I returned there had be some shocking
developments. Gone were the
F.A.R .T. parties and in were the nonalcoholic parties. The campus must
have been chemically treated because
it had shrunk. The basketball courts
had a foxhole on them. Beta Sig had
been busted, complete with a riot.
There were even restricted zones
marked off by orange fences. I felt
betrayed. How could this happen? I
began to seek answers to my questions, but found few valid ones. Can
you offer any? I thought of fighting
back, but feelings of indifference and
helplessness were running rampant.
Therefore if there if there is anyone
else with similar feelings I think it's
time we let the powers know that we
are mad as hell and we are not going to
take it anymore. Stand up and be
counted.

Execution policies
of US questionable
by Franklin E. Zimring

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Policies toward capital punishment
in the United States in 1988 arc confused, ambivalent and unstable.
We wish to sec episodes like the
Willie Dardcn execution this week ;n
Florida after 14 years on Death Row
and six stays as a landmark in execution policy, but a landmark leading
where?
The common perception that the
United States is casing toward a policy of regularl y executing prisoners is
not borne out by statistics.
The box score on 1987 , for example, can be read as evidence that
executions are becoming more widespread in the United States, or as an
indication that they have leveled off.
Those who regard last year as a step
toward executions as normal criminal-punishment policy point to the
total number of people put to death .
There were 25 executions last year,
the largest total in more than a quartercentury. So the trend is up. Or is it?
Even the total figure, however, is not
simple to interpret The national total
of 25 executions in 1987 exceeded
those in 1984 by four.
Twenty-five executions arc about
one for every 800 criminal homicides
in the United States, perhaps one
execution for every 500 criminalhomicide convictions.
And because the number of prisoners on Death Row has been increasing, the rate of executions last year
was a smaller proportion of those
condemned than in 1984.
Four years ago 21 of 1,209 prisoners awaiting execution at the start of
the year were put to death - a tiny 1.7
percent of the total. Last year 25 of
1,781 died - an even tinier 1.4 percent
Such are the new mathematics of
capital punishment.
One reason for the minuscule rate
of executions in the United States is
that only a few states are executing.
The death penalty is legal policy in 70
percent of the states, but executions
have been carried out in less than a
third of them.

Last year's statistics show an even
greater concentration among a few
states. In 1987, Louisiana, Texas and
Georgia executed 19 of the 25 persons
who died nationwide, or 76 percent of
the total.
Texas and Louisiana alone accounted for more than half the total.
That is a rather peculiar concentration
for what observers have been callinga
nationwide trend.
The concentration of executions in
a narrow band of Southern states has
actually increased recently. From
1982 through 1985 at least one new
state started to execute prisoners each
year - the pattern that we would expect
if capital punishment were becoming
more widespread.
But no new state joined the ranks of
those executing in either 1986 or
1987.
The base stopped broadening.
The career of the death penalty in
the U.S. Supreme Court last year also
showed contradictory trends. On the
one hand , the court has consistently
turned back challenges to the legality
of state systems of capital punishment.
A decision last year refused to stop
executions on the ground that those
convicted of killing whites are far
more likely to receive death sentences
than those who kill blacks.
This issue was widely regarded as
one of the last major roadblocks to
sharp rises in executions.
Yet the comfortable court majorities with which the justices used to
turn back challenges to capital punishment seem to have disappeared.
Throughout the early 1980s the standard division on the court had been 72 in favor of capital punishment, with
Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and
Thurgood Marshall the lonely and
predictable dissenters.
Last term the court found itself
more closely divided, with the important cases decided by 5-4 majorities.
This barest majority might be an insufficient institutional foundation on
which to legitimize a practice as divisive as the execution of prisoners.

Anniversary Month

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The body of Hitler's deputy ,Rudolf
Hess, was buried for a second time
Thursday in the family grave in Eastem Bavaria where fears of neo-Nazi
demonstrations prevented him from
being laid to rest after his death in
Spandau Prison, Berlin, last August
The early morning ceremony at the
snow-covered cemetery of Wunsiedel took place under police protection, and with only 11 of Hess's
friends and relatives present. They
included his son, Wolf-Ruediger, and
his ailing widow, Use Hess.
Gravediggers started their work at
midnight, while the brown wooden
coffin with the remains of the 93year-old Nazi leader arrived at 4:30
a.m. from the undisclosed destination
where Hess was buried as furor over
his death raged.
The ceremony, four hours later, and
conducted by the local Protestant
priest, went largely unnoticed. In
order to avoid attracting attention the
mourners diverted from religious
practice and gathered for a brief
church service after the funeral rather
than before.
Hess was buried in dignity and
peace and most of the townspeople
didn 'teven notice what was going on,
a police spokesman said. A local
woman, who said she arrived for work
at 6:30,and when noticing police everywhere, tried to find out what was
happening, said: No one would tell me
anything.
Last August most of the 5,000 inhabitants of Wunsiedel , near where
Hess used to live before the war, made
it quite clear that they believed that
Hess should be buried there.
They thoug ht it was outrageous that
the international media should interfere with a dignified burial by being
present in force.
The problem will now arise that
Hess's grave may well become a
shrine for the country 's small but active neo-Nazi community.

The Community Government
Association awards a scholarship
recognizing outstanding student
leaders on campus. The scholarship will be awarded to a student
or students who have a minimum
grade point average of 2.5, a
minimum of 32 credits and demonstrated leadership in extracurricular activities.
Students interested in applying
for a Fall 1988 award should pick
up an application at the Community Activities Office. Deadline
for submitting applications is
March 25.

According to Saint Luke, Sunday,
March 20, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church , 16th and Fowler Avenuc, Berwick, at 7 p.m ., and March 27
at St. Paul' s Episcopal Church , Main
and Iron Streets, Bloomsburg, at 2:30
p.m.
The Berwick and Bloomsburg
Ministcriums are sponsoring the performances in their respective communities as part of their observance of the
Passion Week, Palm Sunday to Good
Friday.
Both performances are open to
members of the community at no cost.
Commissioned by the Handel and
Haydcn Society of Boston to commemora te its 150th Anniversary,
Thompson 's oratori o was first perform ed in 1965.
Unlike previous Passion oratorios

by Bach and others, it assigns the role
of narrator to the choms and eliminates later icligious poetry from its
libretto, adhering closely to Luke's
Gospel.
Moreover, it begins with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem ,
thereby deepening the depth and irony
of the calamity that soon afterwards
befell Jesus and his followers.

Thompson divides this work into 10
sections, starting with the entry into
Jerusalem and proceeding through the
Passover and the institution of the
Lord 's Supper to the agony in the Garden of Gcthscmenc, Peter 's denial , the
mocking of Jesus, his trial before Pilate, the march to Calvary, the Crucifixion , and the entombment.
The hi ghl y dramatic music ranges
in intensity from moments of great excitement and exaltation to periods of
grief and serenity.
Born in 1899, Thompson has had an
eminent career in composing and
teaching.

The Greek system at Bloomsburg is
continuing to expand. Some support
the new organizations, but others are
reluctant to "accept new additions to
BU's Greek family."
"We welcome new sororities as
long as they 're sincere about what
they 're doing, and realize exactly
what they 're getting themselves involved with ," stated Harner.
"I think that at first the majority of
sororities weren't against the new organizations, they were just hesitant to
accept the changcs,"added Harner.
Last semester the Delta Zeta chapter hosted Tri Sigma's National Leadership Conference.
Bloomsburg's chapter was chosen
on the basis of their successful rush

Sandy Colebu-m, who recently

on her experience, "It's scary being in

is getting involved with the Big Sister- Little Sister program.
"The project is a lot more involved
than I thought '• would be," commented Amy Fusco, coordinator of
the project. "If you 're interested in
becoming a Big Sister to a child in the
Columbia County you must go
through a series of interviews beginning with a social worker, and continuing with prospective children and
their parents."
Seniors are not eligible to participate, since consistency in the relationship is important.
After the child and student are
matched up, a contract is signed by the
two of them , along with the parents
and social worker.
Big Sisters arc expected to spend 35 hours a week with their "little."
Anyone can participate in the program as long as they have the time to
help fill a child's life with a little more
hapiness.
Sigmas are proud of their national
history, customs and heritage. Traditionally, they have used the sailboatas
a symbol to represent continual forward motion , never moving backward, but progressing towards a destination.

The -Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble is presenting The Nest, a play
of ordinary life, by Franz Xaver
Kroetz, at The AlvinaKrause Theatre
in downtown Bloomsburg until
March 26.
Kroetz is one of Europe's most
prolific and successful contemporary
playwritcs. He has written over 25
plays in the last 10 years and is the
most frequently performed writer in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
His popularity stems from his writing
about cvcrday people and the personal
problems that arise due to outside
influences.
Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble's
production of The Nest is the fourth in
the nation. The play has also been
performed in Seattle, Chicago and
Washington , DC.
The play 's main characters are very
recognizable: a young, working-class
coup le who are struggling on a shoestring budget to prepare a safe, loving
home for their fi rst baby. The addition
of a child into the family sets the stage
for some difficult decisions, and an
unexpected incident causes the
couple to grow up and take the responsibility for the world around them .
The Nest contains20 scenes. Unlike
most plays, the scenes are very brief ,
lasting just long enough to impart the
information. Within each scene, the
characters talk and behave like normal people, without elaborate language and theatrical gestures. Strimbeck notes that it is "extraordinarily
different from anything we've done
before."
The Nest marks Leigh Strimbeck's
directorial debut on the Alvina Krause
Theatre stage. An ensemble member
since 1984, she directed Berwick,
America! for the borough' s bicentennial. As an actress, she has appeared in
such roles as Dorine in Tartuffe , The
Ghost of Christmas Present in A
Christmas Carol and Grusha in The
Caucasian Chalk Circle.

The 5th of July , directed by Jody
Swartz, will be playing at Carver Hall
March 24-26 in Carver at 8 p.m.
A production of the Bloomsburg
Players, the theme revolves around a
couple, Gwen (Evelyn Thomson) and
John (Tony Dietterick) who come
back to their hometown to buy a studio from their longtime friend Ken
(Wesley Young).
What begins as a deal to buy a house
entangles itself into childhood memories for everyone.
What is so special about the 5th of
July ? An electric performance by
Young as Ken, the panic-stricken gay
Vietnam-vet , for whom nothing
seems to hold any interest in life except, "alcohol and his lovers' roses."
The fifth of Jul y is a special day of
revelation for many of the characters
who find themselves torn by love,
hate, jealou sy and anger.
The abstract three-dimensional set
and mingling of the performers with
the audience blends in with the surrealistic approach of the plot.
The fact that each character functions in an independent territory in the
thrust stage contributes to the performance.
Admission with a Bloomsburg ID
is free.

Frantic a thrilling movie
by Michael Wilmington

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

For Polanski, evil is tantalizing, and corruption is a
voluptuous lure winding through a labyrinth of dark corridors and cul-de-sacs.For Hitchcock, evil is a threat and
the complacent are punished.
Here, the Walkers (Ford and Betty Buckley) are, at first,
almost soporifically complacent, surrounded by familiar
sights, like the Pizza Hut scrunched down next to their Le
Grand Hotel. As the camera prowls behind them at
Polanski's usual voyeur's-eye level, neither recognizes
the deadly, skewed blankness of the place, and Walker is
inanely singing "I Love Paris"in the shower while his wife
is lured away by unseen assailants.
Polanski may be following another man's game, but he
establishes his own rhythm early on, a pace very different
from Hitchcock's thrilling measures or the hopped-up,
methedrine frenzy of most current American Hitchcock
imitators. Throughout, Polanski holds to this mesmeric,
excruciating rhythm, while his backgrounds assume a
malevolent solidity.
For the first two-thirds of the film,Polanski's signature
can be seen in its qualities of sinister social rot, alienation,
urban absurdity and sexual menace. But then, to a certain
extent, he eases off. You suspect that Frantic may have
been a fun film for him, a retreat to a safe genre.
If there is a major flaw in Frantic, it is that the movie
does not go far enough. It resolves itself too conventionally. Polanski lapses into easy comedy, patented windups
and stereotypical Arab villains, rather than plunging
deeper into chaos and the dark. He and his long-time
screenwriter Gerard Brach do not really mine the special
perversity and social paranoia they are experts at
But, if Frantic (MPAA-rated R , for language and violence) loses a chance to haunt the mind afterwards, as CulDe-Sac and Repulsion did, it still shows us a brilliant film
maker using some the best tricks in his deadly arsenal. At
its best, it conveys all the desperation and giddiness of a
man racing through a dark maze as his life unravels.

In Roman Polanski's Frantic, an elegant, icy thriller
about an American doctor chasing his wife's kidnappers
through the deadlier byways of Paris , we can tell after 10
minutes that we are in the hands of a superb craftsman.
Polanski steeps us immediately in a dark side of the City
of Light , not the sun-dappled, melodious city of our grand
illusions but a more alienating, harrowing place. It is full
of barrenness and menace, with blank-walled modern
buildings, freeways unwinding under gray skies and seedy
little hotels where trysts are made, thighs entwine and
throats are cut.
Racing gamely through this increasingly peculiar and
terrifying city, a very ordinary man, Harrison Ford in a
near-perfect performance as American doctor Richard
Walker, gradually finds his defenses peeled away, his
sureties smashed. After his lady vanishes, Walker is left
helplessly petitioning an impersonal, bland bureaucracy: a
cynical house detective, a helpful concierge, the exasperated police and a smug and lazy U.S. Embassy official
(another crisp, witty job by John Mahoncy).
Frcnziedly, he turns to informants, petty criminals and
drug dealers. After discovering one corpse, Walker yokes
himself to a murderously enticing street girl named MichMembers of local Cub Scout troups arrived at Bloomsburg Univesity to race their home made cars at the annual Pine

more you can control your consciousness, the more you can control your
life. Slow down. Pay attention to your
thoughts, or lack of them. Awareness
of the altered states of consciousness
can be an asset. You can think more
clearly, visualize and attain your
goals, relax, and even obtain a feeling
of "real and lasting peace" through
mind awareness.
The mind functions in many states.
Daydreaming is the state of removing
yourself from your immediate surroundings and placing yourself in a
different reality. It is not simply an
escape from reality; it serves a vital
function by helping to keep the outer
self and inner self in balance.
Daydreaming provides an opportunity to visualize the way you want the
future to be. Sometimes you have a
mental conversation with someone
you are going to see, a rehearsal. You
can go over the same conversation a
number of times, changing the outcome so that by the time you have had
the actual conversation, you will be
prepared for whatever the other person says.
Sometimes daydreams are wish
fulfilling. How else could you get to
spend the night with Sting or Stevie
Nicks? When you want something
that is seemingly out of reach, daydreaming provides a way to fulfill that

When you dream about something
that is attainable, that is called visualization. The ability to visualize brings
you a little closer to getting what you
want. You then might decide to take
actions that bring you closer to actually realizing your goal.
Absent-mindedness is a negative
expression of daydreaming. It occurs

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Reds will
be strong
in the West
Jim Fisher
Staff Writer
Part two of a series
Throughout the 1970' s and the
early 1980's, the National
League West was always easy to
predict. There were usually only
two choices: The Los Angeles
Dodgers and the Cincinatti Reds.
However, the last four years
there have been four different
winners: the San Diego Padres in
1984, the Dodgers in 1985, the
Houston Astros in 1986, and the
San Francisco Giants in 1987.
This season should be no different from the last four years because there has not beenone team
to come out and dominate the
division.
The Reds have' put together a
team over the past couple of seasons that looks to be able to become that dominant team in years
to come.
The Cincinatti Reds look to
head the field in the NL West. The
Reds acquired Danny Jackson
from the Royals to bulk up the
starling pitching. John Franco is
the best left-handed reliever in
the National League.
Dave Parker is absent from the
Red's lineup. Manager Pete Rose
will try to replace Parker with a
Rose clone, Tracy Jones.
Bo Diaz is coming off his best
season as a Red and all-everything Eric Davis and Kal Daniels
head a potent offensive attack.
The key to the Reds' success
could rest on the arm of Jose Rijo,
a fireballer acquired from
Oakland in the Parker deal. Another factor will bewhether or not
Barry Larkin can live up to the
expectations as an all-star infielder.
The San Francisco Giants
will try and defend their NL West
tide. Manager Roger Craig has
the best all around pitching staff
in baseball. Dave Dravecky may
now get the recognition he deserves.
Will Clark and Jeff Leonard
head the offense. Jose Uribe and
newly acquired Brett Butler will
be expected to contribute a great
deal.
The San Diego Padres will
surprise a lot of people this year
with the combination of youth
and hitting ability.
Tony Gwynn and Benito Santiago are already established stars
in the league, while Chris Brown
will have to get over his attitude
problem in order to be effective.
Lance McCullers heads a
unnnrr hnllnATl with P.rir Slhflu/

leading the starting rotation, despite the effects of his beaning of
Andre Dawson showing during
the second half of the last season.
The Houston Astros will
count heavily on Mike Scott and
Jim Deshaises. Nolan Ryan isn't
getting any younger. Dave Smith
is still one of the premier closers
in the game.
Billy Hatcher and Bill Doran
are the offensive spark plugs for
the Astros. Gerald Young has
been given Jose Cruz's position
and now has the task of proving
he's no fluke.
Glenn Davis provides just
about all of the Astros' power.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are
rebuilding. Free agency acquisitions should help this club.
Kirk Gibson and Mike Davis
should give the Dodgers a respectable outfield. Steve Sax will
be given a try at third base.
Orel Hershier will try to make
up for the absenseof Bob Welch.
Newly acquired Jesse Orosco
won't help an already bad bullpen.
The Atlanta Braves didn't
make any transactions to help
themselves. Manager Chuck
Tanner will probably be the first
manager ' canned this season.
Dion James and Dale Murphy
lead a stale offense.
Damasco Garcia will play his
first game as a Brave for the first
time since being acquired from
the Blue Jays over a year ago.
Zane Smith leads a mediocre
pitching staff.

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

The only way
to have the
Olympics

Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
I am really confused about all of
this fuss that the United Slates has
made about not getting any gold
medals in this year's Winter Olympics.

The reason being that I know of
several dozen American athletes
walking around with gold around
their necks at this very moment.
These Olympians weren't in Calgary, although moybe they should
have been.
No, the athletes that I am talking
about were in East Stroudsburg for
Pennsy lvania 's 1988 Special
Olympic State Winter Games and
were giving it all they had in ¦•. '], a
gold.
Same aspirations as their hiicmational counterparts only with different motivation. While the participants in Calgary were there for their
country, or for themselves, the ones
in East Stroudsburg were taking
advantage of a chance to strengthen
their character, develop thcri physical skills, display their talent and
fulfill their human potential.
Skill , courage, sharing and joy is
what Special Olympics is all about.
Not enough can be said about this
special group of kids or the special
group of volunteers that made the
three-day event possible.
Everything was there, the Olympic torch , a real Olympic Goldmedal winner handing out the
awards at each award ceremony,
Bobby Weaver was present to make
the presentations to the athletes.

Let me win. But
if I can not win, let
me be brave in the
attempt "
And of course after all the medals
wer distributed , the Olympic theme
was played.
There were no national anthems
here. No commercialism. There
wasn't an official soft drink or
camera. In fact there wasn't an official anything, excepting those that
donated of services for the event.
But most importantly, there was
no animosity. No country to win it
for. No pressure except from inside,
where it should come from.
This quote said it best, "Let me
win. But if I cannot win , let me be
brave in the attempt."
That is how these athletes approached the games. That is the
spirit of Special Olympics.
The embodiment of which was
this energetic man named Tom
Bubba. His official title was Director of Human Resources.
What he basically did was got our
butts where we were supposed to be
and on time so we could run the
games as smoothe as possible.
There was skiing and ice skating,
downhill and slalom. Plenty for us
volunteers to do and he made sure it
got done.
Since I couldn't ski at all, I was
dispatched to the end of the beginners slope to time races and record
the times.
While I did this, I met a great
many people. In fact, while I was
timing, a gentleman asked how
things were going.
I told him that things were going
well and when I turned to face the
man, I discovered it was Tug
McGraw, honorary chairman of the
1988 games.
He was there, talking to kids and
volunteers alike giving support
when needed and congratulations
all the time.
What made the entire trip worthwhile for me was when a young girl
slowly stopped to talk to Tug right
after her race and McGraw asked
her how she did.
"Well, I finshed," She said smil
ing from ear to ear, "So I did terri
fie!"
What more is there to say?

Men f s tennis team has sights set on repeating
Lamy, Milner figure prominently in
14th ranked Huskies PC title defense
The Bloomsburg University men 's
tennis team has racked up some pretty
impressive numbers under 20th-ycar
head coach Burt Reese, including 272
wins, 16 consecutive winning seasons, seven Pennsylvania Conference
(PC) team tides, 54 individual PC
singles and doubles championships
and individual All-Amcrican honors.
But !hc one goal that has eluded the
Huskies is a team invitation to the
NCAA Division II Championshi ps,
and the makeup of this year's unit
could be the right mix of ingredients
to put the team in that prestigious
eight-team event.
A somewhat dissapointing pre-sca-

son ranking which has the Huskies in
the 14th position among NCAA II
schools could be quickly raised with
success against a schedule which includes 16 Division I opponents and
some of the East's top Division II
competition.
In addition , the club has three players ranked in the top 40 in the nation
and two other performers rated among
the top 20 players in the Eastern
Region.
Junior Mark Billonc will be the top
player when he returns fom his arm
injury. He posted a 12-4 record in the
fall season and is 51 -20 in two seasons
with the Huskies since transferring

Marc Lupinacci fi gures to play a key role in the Huskies attempt to repeat as PSAC
Voice file photo
Champions.

from Bryant College.
Billonc is ranked 23rd in the country in singles and holds the third spot
in the Eastern Region ratings.
He won the Rolex Eastern Regional
in October and was one of eight players to compete in the Rolex national
tourney. He was a PC runncrup at
number two singles last season and
won the conference's second flight
with partner Steve Augustine.
Billonc was the only underclass
representative at the national tournament last season for the Huskies joining seniors Augustine, Tim Mitchell
and Scott Gibbs.
Freshman Rol y Lamy stepped into
the second spot in the fal l and quickl y
established himself as one of the top
players in the East with a ranking of
fifth , picking up some impressive
victories and earned the lofty rating of
24th in the NCAA II rankings. He and
partner Lance Milner arc rated eighth
among the nation 's doubles teams.
Lamy recorded an 11-3 mark in the
fall campaign. He won two New
Hampshire state high school singles
Li tics and four doubles crowns prior to
coming to Bloomsburg.
Milner, a sophomore, will be the
Huskies' third singles player after
spending his freshman season as the
number one player at the University
of Vermont. He has built a 30-10
career mark including 11-4 in the fall
for Bloomsburg to rccicve an eastern
ranking of eighth.
He teamed with Lamy for the high
doubles ranking and is the country 's
37th rated singles position.
Sophomore Marc Lupinacci moves
into the number four singles position
after capturing a PC title at the fifth
position a year ago. HJe registered a
10-3 record during the fall schedule
and upped his two year mark to 28-4.
Last season he also won the
conference's third flight doubles with
Scott Glassford . Lupinacci is rated
16th in the Eastern Region in singles
and teamed with Billone to recieve

and eastern doubles rating of seventh.
Another sophomre who won a PC
championship in his first year with the
Huskies, Matt Quigley, will be in the
fifth singles position. He was the
conference champion at number six
singles last season.He was 6-4 in the
fall and possesses a career record of
29-14. Quigley is just behind Lupinacci in the eastern rankings in the
18th spot and teamed with sophomore
Dave Gilbert to earn the East's number eight rating in doubles.
Gilbert joined the Huskies after
seeing limited action for one season at
Tulane University, where he was the
seventh player. He went 6-6 in the fall
at number six singles and joined
Quigley to reach the Rolex Eastern

Regional Finals in doubles and receive the regional ranking.
Another transfer, Jay Pheasant,
came to the Huskies from Western
Carolina University where he was the
number two player for the Catamounts. He was 5-5 in the fall and is
15-22 in two seasons.
Glassford teamed with Lupinacci to
win the PC number three doubles title
a year ago and saw some singles action. He was 4-5 in the fall and has a
three-year record of 21-22.
Senior Steve Looker along with
freshmen Eric Ganz , Sean Ryan and
Todd Van Meter all could see limited
playing time throughout the course of
the Huskies' grueling 30-match
schedule.

Senior Kim Fey is one of three returning starters and will be expected to
be one of the leaders in the infield for
the Huskies. Last season, she hit .241
and was third on the team in putouts
with 110 at second base. She will be
joined by freshman Terry hosier who
was an All-Metropolitan player in
Norfolk, Virginia, in 1987, giving the
Huskies two solid players at secdhd.
A trio of freshman could share time
at shortstop with Sandy Herr, Janet
Buckheit and Julie Wolf all contending for the starting job. Herr will have
to catch up with the others after spending the winter with the university's
basketball team.
Wolfe's early season development
could be one of the keys to the Huskies' success and gives the team good
coverage up the middle and another
solid bat in the lineup. Herr and Buckheit also have good range and should
see some play ing time as the season
progresses. Buckheit is one of only
two lefthanders on this season's
squad.
Third base is another position that is

up for grabs with another pair of
freshman vying for the starting spot.
Diane Tafel and Brenda Lewis give
the Huskies goos fundamentals and
quickness on the corner. Both have
the capabilities of being good hitters
and possess strong arms.
"The abundance of youth on the left
side of the infield means we may need
some time to jell," Hutchinson said.
"They must learn our defenses and
learn to play together as a unit
quickly. When the pressure is on,
confidence must be one of our
strengths, and these players just need
some time to develop it"
Some veterans give the Huskies
experience in the outfield with senior
Kim Vogel and sophomore Cindy
Slocum returning with the most playing time from last season.
The duo shared time in rightfield
with Vogel hitting for a .281 average
on 25 hits in 89 at bats and Slocum
picking up 13 hits in 45 at bats for a
.289 average.
Sophomore Paula Miller saw ver
lim ited time appearing at the plate just

11 limes. Freshman Tracy Nilles
rounds out a group of four solid performers behind the infield for
Hutchinson's team.
Vogel has good speed on the
basepaths and is one of the Huskies'
top bunters, while Slocum has good
power at the plate and moves well in
the outfield. Miller has improved with
a year of experience behind several
fineplayers and will push for a starting
berth.
Since joining the club after basketball season, Nilles became the first
three sport athlete at the university in
several years. She was a member of
the Huskies' national champion field
hockey team in the fall. Her bat could
also make her a candidate for the designated hitter job.
"We brought a lot of talent and have
one of our more versatile teams in
several seasons," said Hutchinson .
"How quickly we come together will
depend on how well the new people
adjust to the system here and whether
or not some leaders step forward from
the group of veterans."

Solid pitching could make Huskies a contender

Opponents
on
the
1988
Bloomsburg University Softball
schedule know that coach Jan Hutchinson has "rebuilt" before. This season, Hutchinson has to replace eight
seniors including six starters, three of
whom earned All-Amcrican honors.
However, a fine recruiting class,
along with several veterans and a pair
of transfers that give the unit a solid
pitching staff , should make tha Huskies a serious contender for their sixth
straight Pennsylvania Conference
title and a ninth consecutive national
tournament appearance.
The All-American trio , Jean
Millen, Susan Kocher, and Kate
Denneny, helped the Huskies record
their sixth consecutive 30-win season
in 1987, accounting for 130 hits in 399
at-bats, for an average of .326.
They had a combined 68 runs batted
in , scored another 74 times, and led
the team in all but one individual offensive category. In addition to being
the club's designated hitter, Kocher
was the Huskies' leader on the mound
recording 30 wins against nine losses
and had an earned run average of 0.60.
Also gone are reserve catcher and
designated hitter Lori Guitson, shortstop Donna Graup, third basemen
Donna Shief and Lori Pisco, and centerfielder Joan Lewis.
Providing the most experience and
strength in the infield is veteran
catcher Cindy Freeland. The senior
has already won All-American and
CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-American awards in her previous seasons
with the team.
She will be starting for the Huskies
for the fourth consecutive year.
Freeland had 34 hits and four doubles
in 126at bats a year ago for an average
of .270.
Cindy is without a doubt one of the
finest catchers in the country," said
Hutchinson. "She has a strong arm
and a great sense for pick-offs. she
also calls an extremely intelligent

game behind the plate."
Behind Freeland will be newcomer
Lori Shell y. She has shown exceptional hitting ability and will be called
upon to be a designated hitter when
she is not behind the plate.
Although newcomers will play a
huge role, one of the most experienced positions on the team is the
mound corps. Despite the loss of
Kocher, the Huskies will have four
seasoned pitchers to depend on during the tough 41-gamc schedule
which began in early March.
Senior Kirstcn Upcraft, a transfer
from Stephen F. Austin University in
Texas, brings three years of experience to the mound and was the number two pitcher for the Lumberjacks
when they won the 1986 NCAA
Division II championship.
Joining Upcraft on the mound are
sophomores Gina Lindenmuth and
Julie Robbins. Although they saw
limited action last season, both made
vast improvement during the off-season and are expected to see more
action in 1988. Lindenmuth was 3-1
with an ERA of 0.63, while Robbins
was 1-0 with an ERA of 2.03.
Joanna Sulmonetti, a sophomore
transfer from George Mason, will add
depth to the strong staff. A year ago,
she was the number one pitcher for
the Patriots.
We have some strong arms and
more quality depth than we've ever
had on the mound ," said Hutchinson.
"All four are capable of going out and
giving us a good game."
Sophomore Helen Fausnaught will
add maturity to the young infield and
will see time at first base along with
freshman Patti Camper. Fausnaught
played at Lock Haven as a freshman
and adds good defensive skills to the
right side of the infield. Camper is one
of the club's top athletes and could
play at several positions but appears
to be the leader for the starting berth at
first base.
