Indian
lifestyle
is dying
by Karen Trimbath
Staff Writer
The man , looking much younger
than his 60 years, watches intentl y for
moving game in the dense jungle. He
sees a spider monkey and immediately hits it with a poisoned dart. The
monkey takes off. Three hours and
many more darts later, it weakens and
dies. The successful hunter brings
home the evening meal.
This event takes place everyday for
the Waorani , a primitive tribe living in
the interior Amazon basin in Ecuador.
Their Stone-Age hunting and gathering lifestyle was examined in "Nomads of the Rainforest", a film shown
Tuesday by the Anthropology Club at
the Hartline Science Center.
For many centuries, the Waorani
were hostile toward neighboring
tribes who nicknamed them "Auca",
or savage. Reasons for their aggressiveness, which appears to be characteristic of isolated tribes, aren 't clear.
The Waorani became famous in
1956 when five American missionaries attempting to convert the tribe
were discovered speared and killed.
Soon after the incident, several
female Waorani left the tribe with
their children and lived with Spanishspeaking Indians and white missionaries who translated Bibles into native
languages.
Converted and westernized, the
women returned to the tribe, establishing contact between the tribesmen
and whites. Trade goods such as guns,
axes and pots were introduced.
Encouraged to abandon their primitive way of life, the tribe was put into
government-established settlements.
However, a small group of less than
100 chose the nomadic lifestyle, and
continued using western tools.
During the summer of 1987, the
Waorani again became the subject of
world-wide attention when several
missionaries were discovered murdered. According to the film , this rise
in hostility is a reaction to outsiders
exploring and exploiting their territory for oil, timber and land development Their life-support system, the
jungle, is quickly disappearing.
Although members of the tribe are
treated equally, each sex is given its
own important tasks.
The men hunt and clear the forest
for crops. The women grow crops,
cook and weave. The children learn
by experience.
According to the film expedition,
the only way to preserve the Waorani
culture is to reverse the destruction
caused by exploitation.
However, they conclude that it may
be too late to save the tribe's future.

Greek Week traditions upheld

by Kelli Singley
for The Voice
Togas, chariot races, and Olympic
games are all legendary Greek terms
adopted by fraternities and sororities
during Greek Week at Bloomsburg
University.
"Greek Week is an athletic competition between the social greek organizations," said John Blowers, Greek
Week coordinator.
'There are various events held
throughout the week where individual
fraternities and sororities attempt to
accumulate the greatest amount of
points, and win the Greek Cup," he
said.
Planning for Greek Week begins
early in the spring semester.
Each fraternity and sorority delegates representatives to attend meetings where each greek organization is
assigned an event.
The fraternities and sororities team
together and are responsible for organizing that specific event.
"We take all information to our
fraternities and sororities and motivate them for the different activities of
Greek Week," said Michelle McCoy,
Alpha Sigma Alpha representative.
"It takes a lot of preparation and
time from each person , but it is well
worth the fun ," she said.
The Greek Week festivities begin
on May 1 with the Greek Fair which is
held on the lawn of Lycoming Hall.
"More than just the greek organizations will be involved with the Fair,"
said Blowers.
He added, "We hope to encourage
the entire student body to attend and
be a part of our tradition."
Each organization will have a food
booth and a game table.
WBUQ will be participating in the

Greek Fair on May 1 as well.
The official opening ceremony also
begins on May 1 with the Greek Run ,
which is sponsored by Phi Delta and
Sigma lota Omega.
Each fraternity and sorority selects
their own greek man or woman to
carry the torch through campus.
As the last runner approaches the
end, the torch is lit and the games
begin.
Phi Iota Chi and Zcta Psi will sponsor Musical Chairs , which is located
on the basketball courts of BU.
Any fraternity or sorority member
is able to participate, if they are energetic and eager to play childhood
games.
"There are no special qualifications
for musical chairs, at least none that I
am aware of," said Liz Dalton , a
Sigma Sigma Sigma sister.
"This is one event I'll take part in ,"
she added.
Games night , which includes a
"Basketball Dunk", "Dizzy Bat",
"Pyramid Building ", and many others, will be held at Nelson Fieldhouse.
Alpha Sigma Tau and Chi Thcla Pi
along with Delta Pi and Tau Kappa
Epsilon will organize this event for
Greek Week .
Ancient Greek traditions will magnify when the Chariot Races begin.
Each fraternity and sorority builds a
chariot and designates runners to
carry the rider through the course.
Alpha Sigma Alpha and Gamma
Epsilon Omicron will plan the race,
held at the Fieldhouse.
The greek weight-lifters will probably be participating in the Tug-ofWar, which is located on the
President's lawn.
Hiking boots are not required , but
are helpful in securing a strong grip.

Condoms sold in the University Book Store will be provided to students. The decision to provide condoms resulted from strong
student endorsement.

The Student Organization Committee announced that fundraisers including raffles and lotteries will not
be approved after this semester, as
they are considered illegal.
All student organizations will be
notified.
A request for $2,500 from the
Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble to
fund student tickets to performances
was also passed.
According to the CGA Finance
Committee meeting minutes of
March 23, Tim Kurtz motioned to
accept Phi Beta Lambda's request for
$914.80 to send 37 people to a State
Leadership Conference in Harrisburg
from April 8 to April 10.
Greg Puglisi seconded the motion,
and it was approved.
Lisa Markel motioned to accept
The Bloomsburg Players request for
$1,850 to fund the Dance Company.
Greg Puglisi seconded the motion.
The request was not approved.
Tim Kurtz motioned to accept
sports reallocations for field hockey,
men's tennis, softball , baseball and
football, and Sharon Siegrist seconded the motion. All reallocations
were approved.

Program examines

Condoms are being sold in the
University Store and have been available to students since spring break.
The contraceptives, which are 45
cents, are available in the health care
section of the store. Director of Kehr
Union and Student Activities John
Trathen said the decision to sell condoms resulted from strong student
endorsement.
The issue was discussed in the
Community Government Association senate and by the Kehr Union
Governing Board.
"I think the more they (the condoms) are available, the more opportunity there is for people to use them,"
Trathen said.
He said condoms were made available in the school store rather than the
Health Center in McCormick Human
Services Center because the university does not want to give the impres
sion that it condones sex.

The store is selling the contraceptives at cost.
"We would like to see everyone
abstain but the reality is that out of
6,000 to 7,000 people,not everyone is
going to," Trathen said.
"Condoms, although not 100 percent effective, may prevent AIDS,
other types of diseases, and pregnancy," he said.
The University Store has sold about
20 Trojan brand condoms. Despite a
Bloom News telecast, few people are
aware that the store has condoms
available.
Student reaction has been mostly
positive. Rob Bentzel, a junior, said,
"I think it's a very responsible action
on the part of the university."
Sophomore Judy Lee said, "Selling
condoms in the school store is a good
idea because they're available if you
need them."
Junior Ken Mclssac said, "I don't
know if it's a good idea or not. It
doesn't bother me though."

Condoms provided
at University Store

which will be held in the President's
Lounge at 2:30 p.m., and three speakers who will discuss racial hostility in
the 1980s at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum of
the McCormick Human Services
Center.
Dr. Jack Bloom of Indiana University, author of "Class, Race, and the
Civil Rights Movements" which was
published in 1987, is scheduled to
speak along with Phillip Parrish, executive director of the Health and
Welfare Committeeof the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and
former Bloomsburg University student Aaron Porter.
Porter is currently attending the
University of Pennsylvania, is pursuinga doctorate in sociology, and plans
on attending law school.
He was a member of BU's Council
of Trustees from 1982 to 1985.
Dr. Thomas Bonomo of the Sociology Department planned the program
to raise student concern about racism
and human rights issues.
Bonomo believes that the current
U.S. economic situation has caused
some racism because meaningful jobs
are scarce and are minimum-wage,
service-sector jobs offering little advancement.
This creates competition for the
better jobs and sometimes causes
feelings of reverse discrimination in
whites.
The effect of affirmative action
sometimes creates a condition known
as "white backlash".
The program is sponsored by the
Sociology Department and the Human Relations Commission.

Jackson most qualified
To the Editor
Students of Bloomsburg University I will be quite blunt and to the
point about the April 11 front page
story in The Voice entitled, "Dukakis
locked in two-way race for national
Democratic nomination."
Mike Dukakis has proven that he is
an excellent communicator with a lot
of political experience, but answer
this question: How many middle class
registered voters even knew who the
hell Mike Dukakis was in 1984
through 1987? Not many at all , especially in comparison to Jesse Jackson ,
who is a very close second to Dukakis
in the race for the Democratic nomination.
The typical student I've talked to
stated how surprised and amazed they
were about Jackson 's fine showing so
far. The onl y thing I am surprised
about is how Dukakis is successfull y
promoting himself and his campaign
with 1-S00 number hotlines , travelling place to place (first class of

course) and using a lot of television
air time. All of these things cost
money... a lot of money!
Unlike Jackson, who has spent
$350,000, Dukakis has spent S2.3
million campaigning. Every working
person in America should be able to
relate to that. Plus , Jackson is a respected figure with other countries. I
doubt Dukakis is known at all.
I am not .surprised by the large
amount of brand-new supporters who
jumped on the Dukakis bandwagon
after Gary Hart dropped out of the
race. Why do so many people support
a man whose political views are
mostly unknown? The main reason
for this is obvious, a vote for Mike
Dukakis is a vote against Jesse
Jackson. Is that blunt enough?
These voters obviousl y are not
ready for a black to represent the
Democratic party. Polls say thai
Dukakis has a better chance against
George Bush than Jackson. Then
again , the polls didn 't predict that

To the Editor
In the last commentary section of
The Voice , I stumbled on a misunderstanding about my housing suggestion concerning foreign students in
break periods.
My suggestion to put all the foreigners who live on campus in one
dorm came forward out of monetary'
drawbacks. By no means would I try
to split groups of students up.
Being a growing school and wanting to attract many students wilh different cultures, backgrounds and
countries, I think thai every dorm
should stay open during the semesters

and during breaks during these semesters. It is my understanding that
many universities in this country have
this policy.
Suggestions such as eliminate
these short breaks might help but will
not solve the problem , also putting
every foreigner in the old Magee
Mansion will create a similar form of
segregation.
I' m glad that more people see this
problem and I hope a solution will be
found fast.

OH;

Jackson would be as successful as he
has been cither. The pro-Dukakis article printed in The Voice stated
"Dukakis has the better claim to representing the broad center of the
party, as well as the agenda management skills to deliver for all of the
people when he is chosen our next
president."
It is opinionated statements like
that which brainwash so many people
into voting for Dukakis , but men
again isn 't that the purpose?
In no shape or form would I vote for
Jackson just because »hc is black. In
1984 1 was too young to vote and I fel t
the best democratic nominee was
Walter Mondale.
Now in 1988, there is no question
who the most qualified , respected and
all-around Democratic nominee is.
This man will get my vote. This man 's
name is Jesse Jackson.

At this time it is my sad duty to announce that I am
withdrawing from the presidential race. As you know, I
was running for the Demagogue Party nomination.
There are a number of reasons for my decision. Apparently, my campaign slogan , "vote for me or die", did not
go over as well as I had hoped.
, My plan to raise the legal drinking age to 65 was not
well taken either, for reasons that are entirely beyond
me. My initiative to overthrow the controversial Supreme Court Roe vs. Leotards decision and make aerobics illegal again also ran into stiff opposition.
However, a number of my ideas were well received by
the public. I had proposed to melt all Michael Jackson ,
Madonna , and Prince recordings down into haircombs.
My strong stand on legalizing the burning of FM*easylistening music stations gained particularly good support
in the party .
I had also suggested that we change the national

Critic s lif e ain t easy

To the Editor
This letter, is^in response tOiMik e
Hoover's article entitled "INXS finds
success" in the April 7 issue of The
Voice.
I would like to commend Mr.
Hoover on his excellent memory,
recalling an article I wrote six months
ago. At least someone was reading
what I wrote.
It is not easy being a critic, be it
music, art, thearter or the like. Compliments are few and far between.
There is always someone there to cut
your head off every time you stick out
your neck.
I suspect Mr. Hoover is one of these
people who, though he keeps his ax
sharp and ready, will not use it unless
he is sure that he himself will not get
his head cut off.
It is Mr. Hoover's personal cravenness which givescommentary pages a
bad name and Utile if any substance
for its readers.

Cancer: America ' s new export

BOSTON — This is not the best of
times for the folks who make and sell
cigarettes in America: The revenge of
the nonsmokers is in full spring
swing. An anti-smoking law just went
into effect in New York. Northwest
Airlines is about to ban domestic
puffing. Lawyers in New Jersey are
trying to prove that a company is
liable in a smoker's death.
Everywhere you look, the Surgeon
General in full military regalia is
promising a Smoke-Free America by
the year 2000.
What is a poor beleaguered tobacco
conglomerate to do? Pick up their
httle white sticks and go off in search
of fresh lungs?
That 's what 's happening. The
American market for cigarettes is
shrinking and likely to go on doing so.
Public smoking, like public spitting,
is becoming a socially unaccepatable
habit So the manufactureres are
moving west, really west, all the way
the the Far East.
Turn on television on Japan and
you see spiffy, upbeat and very familiar advertisements for an American
product;cigarettes. There is the liberated American woman selling her
Japanese counterpart on Virginia
Slims. There is the Camel man light-

ing up in his jeep. Mixed into the
Japanese messages are such familiar
American words as "King Sized."
How did this happen? We all know
about trade barriers and government
monopolies in the Far East. We heard
Dick Gephardt talk about S48 .000 K
car.
But one of the little secrets of the
trade story is that cirgarettes have
broken through.
An American cantaloupe may still
cost S10 in Tokyo, but a package of
American cigarettes only costs about
$1.60. As a consequence, we sold 32
billion cigarettes in Japan last year, up
from 5 billion. Hold your applause,
please.
The opening of Asian markets to
American tobacco occured with the
help of the State Department, the
building that houses that Treaty
Room newly refurbished — with
money from the tobacco industry —
in its lovely tobacco-leaf motif. Cigarettes got the sort of trade priority
other industries covet.
The government was persuaded in
1986 to launch an investigation into
unfair trade practices by Japan and
Taiwan against the cigarette companies. Jesse Helms of tobacco-laden
North Carolina then put the arm on

went over quite well with the construction workers and
saxophone-play ing constituency.
Certainly the most popular plank in my campaign platform was my proposal to tax the Contras and use the
revenue to support freedom fig hters in Cleveland.
I'd like to thank the actress Lola LaScandal , who played
the role of my wifeduring the campaign , and those two brats
who were supposed to be my kids, whatever their names
are. I'd also like to thank my campaign manager, Shifty
Feldman, for all the hard work he has done. Hope you can
get parole, Shifty.
In the end, after all is said and done and all the cliches
have been wrapped up and put to bed, I must drop out of the
race so that I can spend more time with my family, reassess
my priorities, dedicate myself lo the party, and plot my revenge.
To tell you the truth, the real reason I' m quitting is because oneof my staff members told me lhatif I won I'dhave
to wear a tie. That is a price that I'm not prepared to pay. I
think I still have time to enter the election race for King of
Yugoslavia...

Japan 's president Nakasone, writing
that his "friends in Congress will have
a better chance to stem the tide of the
anti-Japanese trade sentiment..." if he
opened the door to cigarettes.
Nakasone folded. As a Japanese
newspaper put it, he used tobacco "as
a blood offering." The cigarette biz
boomed. American cigarettes went
from 2 percent of the Japanese market
to lOpercent. Ah, the blessings of free
trade.
Now, as the irrepressible Greg
Connolly, public-health activist and
anti-smoking advisore to the World
Health Organization, likes to say,
"We're dumping digarettes in the Far
East The United States government
is actively involved in the promotion
of world smoking."
Indeed, doing business in the Far
East must be more fun these days. The
Japanese don 't have any of those
sticky rules against TV advertisin g
that we have. Their labeling laws are
nothing short of wimpish. They warn:
"For your health, don 't smoke too
much."
Also, there is a npe market for
women. Though 63 percent of Japanesemen smoke, a mere 12 percent of
women do.
Is this what Americans have in

mind when we talk aggresively about
the balance of trade? A world in
which they sell us Toyota, we sell
them Camels. They give us cars, we
give them cancer.
Somehow I don 't think so. Last
year, RJ. Reynolds sent 8 million
packs of Winston Lights contaminated with the herbicide Dicamba
into Japan.
Not exactly a goodwill ambassador
for future American products. Nor are
the slower and subtler effects of
smoking.
Says Connolly, 'The number of
deaths that will occure in the Far East
from smoking may far exceed the
number of deaths in the United States
from illegal drugs." We too can export disaster.
The tobacco companies argue that
cigarettes are legal. If Asians don 't
smoke our brands, they will smoke
their own. It is an unconvincing argument from people who use advertising techniques abroad that would be
outlawed at home.
The desire in America is to get rid
of smoking, not send it overseas. The
government used its clout for the
wrong product How much disease in
the Far East will bring shame to the
label "Made in America?"

I had reason to believe, based on the
conversation I had with Michael
Hutchence, that INXS was "on the
downswing." He displayed a condesending attitude towards his fans and
an egocentric disposition familiar to
those who have been told once too
many times that they were "artistic
geniuses."
Over and above Hutchence 's personal shortcomings is the utter ludicrousness of the album KICK. It is
musically redundant and boring. It is
an extremely poor effort by a band
with so many musical and recording
outlets at its disposal.
However, as with any other megahype media item , what one lacks in
talent can always be made up for with
the right amount and type of promotion. Why do you think junk movies
like Rocky IV gross millions?
INXS is a reflection of what can be
termed "the new '60s musical revival." There are hundreds of bands
calling themselves "neo-psychedelic" among other terms to relate this
concept. INXS have been suddenly
transformed into one of these '60s
revival clone bands because it sells.

The popularity of the '60s revival in
music is what makes INXS a popular
act, not the presumed "artistry" of
KICK. There is none.
My prediction of a failure for the
band and the album came aboaut
when I assumed music fans like Mr.
Hoover knew the difference between
the real thing and a cheap imitation.
Obviously I was wrong.
Lastly, I'm curious to know why
you waited so long to challenge my
prediction . If you were such a loyal
fan of INXS, and you sincerely believed me to be wrong, why not bring
it to my attention when the original
was published Oct. 29?
I can only surmise that you had little
faith in INXS' artistic ability and even
less in your own power of precognition . Instead you chose to wait and see
if the album would sell before making
a comment.
Perhaps you should use that ax of
yours to knock that enormous chip off
your shoulder.
Sincerely
Ken Kirsch

'Citize n Kane '
a timeless film

by Mike Moyer
Staff Writer
Citizen Kane is a genuine movie
masterpiece.
Widely praised the world over as
one of the greatest films ever made ,
Citizen Kane has appeared as the
number one film three out of four
times on the Sight and Sound poll (a
poll conducted even' 10 years by 122
critics from around the world who
rank the top 10 films of all time.) It
failed to appear on the firs t list in
1952 because Hollywood failed to
release the film on time in fear oi
offending newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, on whose life
the film is loosely based .
The film begins with an ending: the
death of Charles Foster Kane , newspaper tycoon. He is seen dy ing in his
bedroom , murmering his last word ,
"rosebud." After this , a group of
reporters attempt to discover the
meaning of "rosebud." The reporters
interview severa l people who knew
Kane , and slowly and brilliantl y the
film unfolds Kan e's life.
Each person interviewed tells how
they were associated with Kane, and
through a series of flashbacks we
follow him from a young newspaperman to a reel usivc, bitter old man. We
follow Kane when he inherits a newspaper at the age of 21. We follow him
through his marriage, his affair wilh a
showgirl , his run for presidency, his
building of the biggest and most
expensive mansion ever built , and his
death. The audience comes to know

Kane better man he knew himself.
The film is a compelling and brilliant
character study of a man 's life.
Despite being made in 194 1, the
film is far from being dated. Not only
do the technological aspects of the
film seem fresh , but the story itself
coul d have happened at the present
time. Kane, in his run for presidency,
is caught having an affair and is
forced to resign. Sound familiar?
The film is considered one of the
best ever for many reasons. One is the
witty, memborable dialogue and
excellent acung, especially by Orson
Welles who plays Kane. But the
film 's most notable feature is its intricate structure. The film 's structure
was unlike any that was seen in a film
prior to 1941. Using flashbacks, the
film jumps back and forth from different parts of Kane's life.
Yet it is never hard to follow , but is
brilliantly conceived as to allow us to
sec only parts of his life at first , then
eventually reveal his whole life.
Technicall y, the film was a breakthrough. Unusual camera angles,
inventive lighting techniques, and
overlapping sound had all been seen
in films before , but Citizen Kane
greatly developed these techniques.
Another astonishing aspect of the
film is that diis was co-writcr/director Orson Welles' first film he ever
made.
He directed several films after
Citizen Kane , but none received the
high status of this masterpiece. Citizen Kane is a film not to be missed.

Oh , spring. With each passing
week the days grow longer and so
does the grass, which need to be cut.
Once a week. All spring and summer
long.
To prepare for the first cut of the
new year, a few steps need to be
taken.
The first thing to do is locate the
lawnmower.(This becomes easier if
you own a riding mower. The number
of places it can hide is limited.) Is it in
the shed, still hibernating with the
other tools? Or is it in the atic, behind
the Christmas decorations? (If this is
the case, a partner will be needed for

made materials of the early years of
the country into the slick, bright ,
machine-made products of today.
Beg inning with mud and wood , the
objects gradually show the colorization of the world , ending in the brilliance of plastics and other synthetics.
The more than 400 objects in "A
Material World" are for people who
like to see wheels go round , motors
go chug-a-lug, parts go clank. As its
designer , architect Jeff Howard, puts
it, "It 's the sort of show kids will
explain to their parents." Museum
Direc tor Roger Kennedy sees it as a
samp ler, an introduction to the whole
museum.
Bob Post , the curator , said ,
"Maybe it isn 't the secret of the universe it's a simploidea but not unimportant to ask, 'What is that-stuff? Is
it what it seems to be?' "
Two automobiles, early and late,
slow and fast, probably will be the
biggest crowd plcasers. The 1986
Swamp Rat XXX , a top-fuel dragster
designed by "Big Daddy " Don Garlits of Ocala , Fla., stands to the east of
the center ring.
The first top-fuel dragster to go
270 mph , the racer won eight event s
last year. Its materials are duly listed;
here's a condensed version: aluminum alloys, Babbitt metal, Bakelite,
brass, bronze , cadmium , carbon fiber, carbon steel, cast iron , stainless
steel, Teflon , titanium , Vasco, vulcanite and zinc.

the extraction.) Or could it be in the
garage under all of the junk piled
there?
Once the lawnmower is found ,
everything is downhill. (Unless your
lawn is steep upgrade.) Take the fourwheeled, metal-mouthed monster to
the nearest patch of greencrie, grasp
the ripcord and pull with all of your
might. Nothing. Must be out of gas.
The out of gas theory holds water,
for after unscrewing the cap to the
tank, you soon discover that it is bone
dry. Now where was the spare gas
can?
After spending an hour to find the
gas can , drive to the nearest gas station. Make sure you take money to
avoid repeating this step.
After pouring half the gas in the
tank
and
half
on
the
lawnmower(since the funnel was
nowhere to be found.), you 're ready
to try to start it again. Grasp the rip-

cord and pull with all of your might.
Nothing. Not a whir. Hmmmmmm .
Upon further inspection, you remember that your neighbor borrowed the spark plugs for his
snowblower. Six stores and two
hours later, you return home with the
right size plugs.
The lawnmower has plenty of gas,
new plugs and nothing else seems to
be wrong. It has to start now.
Grasp the ripcord tightly and pull
until you have brushburns on your
hands. The engine coughs and then
sputters loudly. The blade turns as
smoke puffs from the exhause. And
then finally, a sweet whirring sound
fills the air. It works!
After the initial excitement subsides, you notice it is getting dark.
As you begin to cut a crooked path ,
you realize you 'll have to wait until
tomorrow for that first cut of the new
year.

The car stands at the cxhibiuon
entrance, back where the Model T of
sainted memory used to stand.
There seems to be one of everything and more of some, standing in a
curious clutter on platforms, in a
mock boutique and in low "delicatessen cases" (as show designer Jeff
Howard calls them) with rather art
modeme carved styrofoam stands,
hand-carved by Marcia Powell. The
show is designed with foot space so
that wheelchairs can ride up close.
In the 1900-1920 section are,
among other things: A Mutoscope (a
precursor of the movies), a telegraph
office sign, an electric table fan , a
U.S. War Department aluminum
canteen, an Edison General Electric
toaster, a Chicago Pneumatic Tool
electric drill, a tin-plated can and a
-¦¦¦*
traffic signal.
Next to these and other wonders
are a 1946 Automatic Musical Instru m ent jukebox , a Black Beauty
slot machine and 1955 Charles
Eames stacking side chairs.
One entire section is devoted to
washing machines: the 1860 Union ,
the 1900 Easy, the 1912 National
Vacuum , among other wishy-washers. You can't help but feel wet standing by them.
The history of plastics shown
ranges from celluloid (actually a
modification of the natural plant
polymer cellulose), invented by John
Wesley Hyatt in 1869, the first material one thinks of as plastic; Bakelite
from about 1910, and cellophane
from 1912.
The plastics boutique displays in
living color: Erwine and Estelle
Laverne's 1959 Lily Chair (look hard
for it in the booth's hollow), radios,
pocketbooks and housewares.
Alexander MacLachlan, senior
vice president for technology at Du
Pon t Co., which gave SI million
toward the approximate $1.75 million cost of the permanent installation, reminded preview guests that
nylon is celebrating .

The 11 helmets range from an 1814
dragoon 's leather headgear, through
a 1960 acry lic space-flight protector
and to a 1986 U.S. Army infantry
helmet.
The seven bicycles roll from an
1869 velocipede to the 1986 Gold
Ru.sh human-powered vehicle (the
first single-pedaler to go more than
65 mph).
In case you like really lethal machines that look like ancient tortu re
devices, the show also has a huge
universal testing machine and a concrete testing machine.
Several video displays give a
choice of films explaining how materia Is are manufactured. Volunteers
will demonstrate how some of the
machines work.
A demonstration center allows a
10-f>pot, 17-ton test cable section of
New York' s George Washington
Bridge to be touched.
The exhibit replaces the Foucault
Pendulum on the Constitution Avenue (lower) level of the
Smithsonian 's National Museum of
American History.
So what happened to the pendulum?
From the patterned marble floor
where the pendulum used to knock
over pegs, you can stand and look up
at a new domed ceiling.
Through the oculus in the dome's
center you can see the pendulum
swinging one floor above on the Mall
level. It now hangs 59 feet instead of
78 feet and swings 7 feet, 6 inches
instead of 9 feet , 5 inches.
"A Material World" is the latest,
though not the most ambitious, R
oger Kennedyization of the American History Museum.
It began in 1981, when, on the first
floor alone, he removed the central
escalators that once dominated the
Constitution Avenue entrance and
went on to install the Palm Court, a
working vintage ice-cream parlor.
What will that man do next? Watch
that space.

LIFE passes charter

ByMissiMenapace
StaffWriter
The constitution of a pro-life group was recently
approved, making Life Is For Everyone (LIFE) an
official student organization .
It was the end of a process that began in October.
LIFE expects to be active next year.
Founder Julia Spychalski says the group defines prolife as "Respecting life at all its stages, from conception
to natural death. It will not be ju st an anti-abortion
group." Spychalski adds that LIFEs main goal is to educate the university community.
"We'd like to raise awareness on campus of human
rights issues, particularly euthanasia , infanticide and
abortion," she says.
Robert Campbell assistant professor of Nursing and
advisor to LIFE, agrees. 'They want to make sure that
when people make decisions, they are informed.
The groups plans for next year reflect their educational
goal. "We would like to have speakers, debates, possibl y
a Human life Awareness Week," Spychalski adds. Service projects involving Special Olympics or visiting
nursing homes are other possibilities.
LIFE members are planning to attend the pro-life
march in Washington D.C, marking the 1973 Supreme
Court decision of Roe v .Wade, which legalized abortion.
LIFE will join the Intercollegiate Federation for Life and
the Pennsylvanian Intercollegiate Federation for Life.

LIFE now has eight members. Spychalski hopes a diversity of people will get involved. She acknowledges
that the pro-life movement is often associated with religious groups, but LIFE has no religious affiliation , even
though Spychalski feels her strong Roman Catholic faith
was one of the forces that shaped her views. "It's true that
people have a stereotype .but it shouldn 't really be a
problem. It doesn 't matter even if you believe in God or
not - it's if you respect life."
Her own background makes her particularly aware
of abortion. She is adopted, and has always been sharply
aware that her fate could have been very different if she
was conceived just a few years later. "When I was
adopted at birth ," Spychalski said "abortion was not legal. And I think having been adopted I understand the
issue more. Because I understand there are alternatives ,
and I don 't think killing should be one of them .
The thought of founding a pro-life group had been on
Spychalski" s mind since her freshman year.
She was encouraged this year when Mary Lou Miele,

Rugby club loses to Penn State
by Edward O 'Neill
Staff Writer
This past weekend found the
Bloomsburg Rugby Club at Penn
State to play their B-side. Both teams
looked evenl y matched at the start of
the game as each team worked the ball
back and forth.
As each team vied for field position, Penn Stalc was able to get a small
breakaway and score the firstpoints of
the game with a tiy. A four point lead

turned to a six point lead as the kick
afterwards was put through the uprights.
Bloomsbueg regrouped and
played very well. Aggressive play by
Bloomsburg lead to many victories in
the scrums but also to a penalty in their
own end. Penn State was able to convert the kick and up their lead to 9-0.
With the score, Bloomsburg
didn 't let up in their intensity and Penn
State was caught in their end and
committed s, penalty of their own.
Bloomsburg chose to pass up a penalty kick and continue play because
they were only 10 meters from goal.

The choice was the right one as Jim

have 100 clients, including 18 National Football League quarterbacks ,
a phenom-to-bc in Gaston Green, a
National Basketball Association star,
Byron Scott, and a fi gure skater, Brian
Boitano.
Steinberg's clients do not hold out
while under contract. There have been
no college payoff scandals. In nearly
20 years, if any of Steinberg 's clients
have gone away mad , they have done
so quietly.
Some agents provide limited service. Steinberg is a 24-hour dial-a-pal.
Dr. Ruth probably fields fewer phone
calls. I once eavesdropped as.Steinberg spent two hours on the phone,
soothing a rookie NFL quarterback
who wanted to leave training camp.
The rookie stayed and is now a superstar.
Talking about the charity program,
Steinberg has said, "We're all responsible in some way for the shape the
world is in."
Can Steinberg help it if he grew up
in the '60s and went to the radical
University of California , Berkeley,
soaking up the cornball idealism and
social consciousness of the time? He
probably still puts bricks in the water
tank of his toilet.
Everyone, however, doesn't love
Leigh. Several years ago, a rival agent
caught Steinberg spreading apparently untrue rumors. The agent
brought this to Steinberg's attention.
A contrite Steinberg apologized and
asked forgiveness^ The agent granted
same and promisedto let the incident
die. It would be their secret.
Not long ago the agent wrote a book
and devoted an entire chapter to the
indiscretion.
So Steinberg isn't perfect. And he
¦¦•

example for this lesson, which is that
there is some good stuff happening in
the business side of sports.
As one of Steinberg's players said
at the roast, "He has helped our lives
by using our notoriety to help the
world."
You've got to admit, it's a pretty

ward while being tackled by a third
player to score a try. The kick afterwards failed and Bloom cut the lead to
9-4.
Later in the half Penn State was
able to get another penalty kick to go
through for three more points. With
this score and the end of the half,
Bloomsburg was down 12-4.
The second half began and some
good play was shown by both teams.
Bloomsburg seemed to turn it up a
notch and much of the play was forced
into the Penn State end.

momentum and score a try. A missed
kick afterwards had Penn State leading 15-4.
Bloomsburg continued to play
well. With solid play in the scrums by
props Jack Gillard and Doug Green,8man Mike Kantor, and hooker Ray
Matty, along with good kick coverage
by John Gibbons, Bloom kept the ball
in the Penn State zone.
With continuous pressure, State
was forced to kick out of trouble many
times. Ed O'Neill was able to partially
block one of these kicks and Mark
"Tidder "Rarrick scooped up the loose
ball and easil y scored a try. The kick
was made and Bloomsburg cut the
lead to 15-10.
This score put Bloom right back
in the game and even a later penalty
kick for State and a 19-10 deficit
didn 't deter them. Time became
Bloomsburg 's worst enemy as it ran
out too quickl y and Penn State held on
for a nine point victory.
The nine points was the result of
three penalty kicks converted by State
and these mistakes cost Bloomsburg a
chance at a victory.
Bloomsburg has their first home
game of the season this Saturday at
Athletic Park on the corner of 7th and
Iron Streets against Muhlenburg. The
team asks that you come out and join
them at 1p.m . and show your support
for Bloomsburg sports and especially
the Rugby Club.

OSTLER ON SPORTS

Huskies split with East Stroudsburg

Another
agent with a Bloomsburg earns close
gimmick
win before offense fails
Scott Ostler

When you 're talking about sports
agents, a compliment might be
something like, "He's not in jail."
Or, "Sqme of his clients have decided not to sue him."
Ithasnotbccnan al together happy
chapter of sports history, this era of
the agent, covering the last decade or
so. For every honest, effective agent
there seems to be a sewer full of
fugitives , bunglers, scoundrels and
sleazcbags. You 've heard the horror
stories. Athletes tell 'em like war
stories.
Agents are necessary. Without
agents, athletes would have to go
back to the old system of blowing
tiicir money themselves. And there
is so much money in big time sports
now that blowing it all would be too
time consuming.
Are there any good agents? I think
so. I hope so. Not a lot, certainly. The
term "good agent" seems almost a
contradiction in terms, like "good
used car."
There arc a few I suspect of being
good agents, and I will use one here
as an exam ple of those who are performing worthwhile services for
their clients and maybe to the world
in general.
His name is Leigh Steinberg.
You 've heard of him. He is the agent
with the gimmick. He only takes on
athletes who cheerfully agree to donate portions of their incomes to
charity . A field goal kicker kicks in
$100 for every field goal to a cancer
fund , that type of thing. Many set up
scholarship funds at their old high
schools or colleges.
Steve Young, a 49cr quarterback ,
explained the Steinberg system at a
recent March of Dimes banquetroast.
"Here's a guy who has made his
reputation by giving his clients '
money away to charity," Young
said.
Dozens of Steinberg 's clients
showed up for the affair, none of
them with subpoenas. Most of the
things they said about Steinberg
were too sappy and affectionate to be
repealed here.
I have expressed reservations
about Steinberg 's system because
Leigh is so eager to talk about his
clients ' donations. It's sort of like the
old Graig Nettles line about Reggie
Jackson: "He'd give you the shirt off
his back, then call a press conference
to tell about it."
Steinberg 's reasoning is that if a
lot of other agents and athletes hear
about this charity concept, and notice that fans think it's nice, they
might be inspired to try it. In that
case, whether the motive might be
human kindness or tax-sheltering,
the result would be the same, a lot of
money flowing from rich athletes to
crippled kids and such.
Maybe it's working. For example,
Los Angeles Clipper forward Michael Cage, acting on an idea by Jack
Gallagher, Clipper public relations
director, is donating S5 a rebound to
the Big Brothers of Greater Los
Angeles. California Angel pitcher
Kirk McCaskill has announced that
he will donate $20 per strikeout to a
