Singer
feat ured
speaker

by Bridget Sullivan
Staff Writer
A New York City singer, actress
and dancer was one featured speaker
during the Bloomsburg Women 's
Center Eight Annual Conference held
Saturday, April 16 on the
Bloomsburg University Campus.
According to the conference coordinator/director Betsy Dowd, the activities began Friday night with Elizabeth Hodcs' presentation entitled
"Women's"World."
Dowd said Hodes "has been wellreceived on [the BU] campus in the
past."
Registration for the conference
began in the Presidents' Lounge of
the Kehr Union Building from 8 a.m.
The conference lasted until 4 p.m.
More than 60 workshops, all of
interest to women were presented.
Women attending the conference
attended four workshops.
A continental breakfast and luncheon was provided.
Dr. Wilma Brady discussed
"Women Paying the Price for Peace"
as the keynote speaker.
Following Dr. Brady's talk, Outstanding Women Awards were presented. Women were nominated in
eight different fields, such as education and business.
They must be nominated be a person or organization for Columbia or
Montour counties.
Dramatic readings by women
wrapped up the day's activities, followed by Happy Hour at Russell's
commencing at 4:30 p.m.
An art exhibit was presented in the
Presidents' Lounge all weekend, featuring landscape artist Cynthia Dennis and sculptor and ceramic artist
Kathy Watson.
In addition to the conference Quest
sponsored a White Water Rafting trip
for women Sunday afternoon.
Dowd explains the conference is
open to all women, "The idea behind
the conference is feminist based, but
these is a broad mix of people in it,
[ranging from] grandmothers trying
to broaden themselves [to] farm
women interacting with career
minded women."

The committee emphasized that
they can not force the university to
follow the policies, only recommend
possible solutions to problems that
may arise from the AIDS problem.
The committee also stated they are
working on the educational programming problems.
Hranitz and Jean Kalat, assistant
professor of nursing, agreed to work
together on drafting the cover letter.
Carpenter brought up the issue of
cleaning weekend "messes," such as
vomit , from the residence halls when
no housekeeping is available.
"What we need is some kind of
absorbant material to soak up the
messes until housekeeping can take
care of it," Carpenter said.
Housekeeping agreed to look into
the possibilities, as well as getting
heavy gloves for the housekeeping
staff to wear while doing their daily
cleaning.
The AIDS committee also reviewed the revised addition of the
athletic department's AIDS policy.
After being reviewed, it was decided
that a few more changes are needed.

These revisions were mosdy dealing
with the specific wording of some of
the statements.
The committee examined the Samanam II CPR mask, brought by
Lynold McGhee, occupational health
and safety officer.
The mask is designed to allow no
body fluids to be exchanged when
administering CPR .
McGhee added that "the new design is more flexible and can be carried easily on the body."
The committee plans lo distribute
the mask to Law Enforcement officials.
Carpenter suggested the mask
should be made available in the residence halls.
Hranitz distributed to all committee
members information published be
the American College Health Association (ACHA) entitled General
Statement on Institutional Response
to AIDS .'
The next AIDS committee meeting
will be April 28, when educational
programming and the ACHA 's information will be discussed.

The Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC)
decided not to add Theta Chi as a
member of IFC for the fall semester at
the IFC meeting held last night in the
Kehr Union Building.
"I have no opinions as of yet because I want to discuss the decision
with ihc rest of my fraternity," said
Mike Morrissey, Theta Chi president ,
after the decision was announced.
"I feel that concessions were made
that should satisfy us, but I can't make
a statement until I have a chance to
meet with my fraternity as a whole."
Morrissey said.
Concessions, such as allowing
Theta Chi to have a pledge class next
semester, were given based on the fac t
that, IFC felt that "they did deserve
something," even though they did not
complete every aspect of the probationary status satisfactorily,
They received a tentative six-point
program allowing Theta Chi to continue under their probationary status
with these revisions.
The first will be the fact that Theta
Chi will be allowed to conduct an
official rush and have a pledgeclass in
the fall semester.
Secondly, although not able to mix
individually, Theta Chi would be able
to attend an all-Greek mixer if they
organize the mixer.
EFC felt that this would be an ideal
way for members to get to know other
ff _ lif __ f 1wlffirflr lyiylflfflvl vJii Ml fraternities, not only at the mixer, but
while organizing the event.
Two things would remain the same,

one being that the displaying of letters
in any way is a violation of probation,
except on their two rush days, and
secondly they would continue to have
a non-voting representative on IFC.
The fourth item revised was regarding their involvement in IFC sports.
Although still unable to compete,
they will not have to officiate anymore, but will be asked to offer their
assistance in organizing and running
the events.
The last revision arose through a
misunderstanding about the amount
of money that is required to be kept in
the escrow account with the university .
IFC requires an amount of $500 be
in the account , while Theta Chi was
under a different impression.
Jeff Smith , IFC president, said, "I
feel that it was a fair decision. We
reviewed the facts and we reviewed
the requirements of the probation and
saw that some were violated."
So, we tried to concentrate on disallowing things that they had abused, "
Smith added.
Two of the areas that IFC felt Theta
Chi had been remiss in were IFC
sports and the displaying of letters.
Three different isolated incidents
involving letters were cited at the
meeting and were admitted to by the
representatives of Theta Chi in attendance.
This had a tremendous effect on the
decision to disallow the displaying of
letters for the duration of the probationary period.
"I could foresee problems going in

to the meeting," Morrissey said, "We
admitted to to the letters issue.
We are excited about the pledge
class, but without letters, we will get
no publicity and that will hurt our
rush."
The decision was met with mixed
emotions from Lori Barsness ,
Bloomsburg 's Greek advisor.
"I have seen Theta Chi go through
their highs and lows this semester and
I understand that IFC has had a difficult time with this issue. I am glad that
the door is still open for fulladmission
to IFC and I think that this presentation has given them a better view of
Theta Chi," she said.
Tom Barbush , IFC representative
from Sigma Iota Omega, said, "It was
a definite showing that having a seal
on the IFC board isn't something that
can be accomplished easily. We
showed that Theta Chi did gain a part
of IFC, but with more effort the full
privilege of IFC can be enjoyed."
Smith said, "I hope they stay in the
IFC community and work with us. I
also hope our organizations give them
support in the next step of the process."
Barsness added, "Theta Chi and
other fraternities must work together
and continue that spirit of cooperation .
Theta Chi realizes they have made a
positive step and they want to be a part
of it (IFC)."
"IFC has come along way and
Theta Chi will be a good addition to
both IFC and the Greek community,"
Barsness concluded , "I have no problem with IFC being adamant in their
position. They expect a lot from Theta
Chi and in the end it will make for a
stronger Greek system."

Beta Sigma Delta brothers Mark Urcvich and Tom Hutchinson , with the help of
Biko, helped raise money for the Leukemia Foundation , Saturday during their
annu al DuckWalk.

Maintaining alleys
will be an op tion
Th eta Chi not added to IFC

Contrary to an article published in the April 14 issue of The Voice,
maintaining the bowling alleys will be a choice on the questionnaire
to be distributed during the April 26 class officer elections.
The article failed to include "continue to operate the alley " as an
option for students during the elections.
According to Dr. John Trathen , director of student activities, students should realize they do have a say in determining the fate of the
alleys.
If enough students vote to keep the alleys, they will remain in the
Kehr Union Building.
Trathen added that if students vote to keep the alleys, he hopes
they will be used.
He reported there has been a decrease in sales in the alleys during
the past few weeks.
Other choices that will be included in the questionnaire are create
a permanent home for Cheers and other activities, and as a student
lounge/study area in the space currently occupied by the bowling
alley.
Also, there is a space for a write-in suggestion of what to do with
the space.
Trathen said he believes that whether the lanes are removed
should depend on what will benefit the student body the most.
Students should take this into consideration when voting.
"Students should not vote to keep the alleys here if they do not plan
on using them ," Trathen added.

Creation evolution
and new movement
top ics of seminars
by Cindy Hurst
Staff Writer
Creation and Evolution and the new
age movement were among the topic
discussed and two seminars sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes and Inter-Varsity Christian
Fellowship, Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
Brian Sauder , a graduate of Penn
State University, came to
Bloomsburg from D.O.V.E. Christian
Fellowship International to speak on
Creation and Evolution and the New
Age Movement.
In his creation and evolution presentation , Sauder described the viewpoints of both theistic and naturalistic
scientists.
"I challenged the students to take a
close look at the facts and to think
about what they believe,"Sauder said.
He did this through a discussion on the
philosophy of science.
Using uncomplex examples ,
Sauder pointed out some of the conflicts and inconsistencies in the evolution model.
"A common argument students
often have against the creation model
is that creation scientists are in the
minority and that the missing links of
evolution will eventually be found
through research," Sauder said.
Sauder said the audience was atten-

Revised AIDS policies will be sent
to all faculty and staff along wilh a
cover letter from the AIDS committee
explaining the importance of these
policies, a Thursday meeting of
Bloomsburg University AIDS decided.
Dee Hranitz, committee chairperson, noted that they will be sending
these policies and letters with the
cooperation of Dr. Jcrrold Griffi s,
vice-president for student life, to
"noti fy all personnel on taking the
proper measures to insure total
safety ."
Hranitz added lhat the policies will
be sent out only after "they have been
reviewed and accepted by [the committee]".
Jennie Carpenter, director of Residence Life, questioned who will make
the faculty and staff follow the policies.
Carpenter also expressed concern
about the lack of educational programming among the staff and faculty
dealing with the AIDS epidemic.

tive, and although not everyone
agreed, they were at least challenged
to think about what they believe and
why they believe it.
Sauder answered many questions at
the end of the seminar.
In Thursday's discussion on the
New Age Movement, Sauder pointed
out that many people are experiencing
meaninglessness in their lives and are
therefore searching for meaning and
purpose from many kinds of "guiding
forces."
This movement is sweeping
through Central America and Europe.
New Agers believe we are all gods
and that Jesus Christ was a god, as we
are.
Sauder added that the movement is
a result of secular humanism and that
humanism in its highest degree removes God from mankind.
Sauder said, "Every man is seeking
after a god of some sort, and as a
Christian, I believe that if a person
does not know that living God , he'll
make one." He added that the god the
New Age Movement teaches is a
force, not a personal God.
"Many people try to achieve peace
and power through the use of drugs
and alcohol. People are looking for a
supernatural experience that only
Jesus Christ can bring to their lives,"
Sauder said.

Lack of experience will
not get Jackson votes
To the Editor
I am writing in response to Mr.
Lindner 's article "Jackson most
qualified" printed in the Apri l 14 issue
of The Voice. Qualified for what?
Surely not as president of the United
States.
Jackson has h_ id no governmental
experience. Americans do not want a
man , who has never held a public
office , lo gain on-the-job experience
in our most powerful governmental
position. Especiall y nol a man with
Jackson 's past record.
First , Jackson refcred to Jews as
"H yniics " and New York as "Hymielown. " I' m sure this will nol help him
win the New York primary where
Jews account for about a quarter of the
Democrati c vote.
Jackson also claims thai lie "has no
recollection " of his stalcmcnls about
Ihc Jews. Thus , I do not want a man
elected president who is prejudice.
Second , there is Jackson 's relationship wilh Louis Farrakhan , a black
Muslim leader who has called Hitlcra
great man. Jackson has been quoted

speaking about Farrakhan, I respect
him very much." This statement
proves how radical Jackson can be.
Finally, consider Jackson 's position on defense and foreign policy. He
would cut weapons such as the Stealth
bomber , Midgctman missile and the
advantageous ballistic-missile submarines.
He would also eliminate S.D.I, and
cut U.S. Iroop strength by at least
100,000 in Europe.
By eliminating these defense weapons, the United States would no
longer have mutual assured destruction willi the Soviet Union , which is

To the Editor
This is in response to Ken Kirsch' s
letter on the "downswing " of INXS.
Come on Ken , give us a break .Instead
of cutting up a music fan , why don 'l
you jusl let him express his opinion?
Personall y, fro m raiding your column , I had gained nothing. Well , not
true. I have come lo realize that your
opinions arc totall y self-centered and
useless (like that classic one on
Springsteen vs. Bill y Joel).
Simp ly because you do not like the

new INXS album docs nol mean it 's
not good. The band had said they
wanted each of their albums to sound
different from the last, and they have
successfully done so. Now that takes
talent.
Perhaps the main reason not many
peop le showed up to the concert on
Oct. 27 was because their new album ,
KICK , hadn 't even come out yet.
Their last album ,Listen Like Thieves,
had been released almost two years
ago.

the assurance that wc could effectively retaliate against a Soviet strike.
Jackson is willing to eliminate all
deterrents we have against the Soviet
Union. Even moderate and conservative Democrats fear his foreign policy.
Jackson has said ,"If 1were white , I
would be the nominee." I say, if he
were while, Jackson wouldn 'tcvcnbc

Jesse Jackson is a persuasive and
dynamic communicator , but he is not
qualified to be president of the United

Condoms in book store

i

To the Editor
The decision
to sell condoms at cost at the
University Store is a curious one indeed. It seems to
me that students at a university would be more appropriatel y served by having text books sold at cost and
condoms sold for a profit.

Everyone has an opinion

I think by saying that fans like Mr.
Hoover don 't know the difference
between the "real" thing and a cheap
imitation was a pretty ignorant statement. At least it 's easy to distinguish
between a "real" critic and a cheap
imitation.
Real critics learn to accept criticism , Mr. Kirsch , nol whine like a
baby.

In s upport of D ukakis
To the Editor
We arc pleased to see at least one
individual had the interest in the
campaign thus far to respond to our
story about Dukakis in your Apri l 11
issue.
We hope the primary race generates
broad interest and debate among supporters of all the candidates, since we
need energy, not apathy, to win in
November.
Let us make one or two comments
about Mr . Lindner 's letter to bring our
support for Mike Dukakis into focus.
First , we are not newcomers to the
Dukakis campaign. When we helped
him win reelection to governor in
1982-83, we knew then he was presidential material and encouraged him
to run.
Our first letter to the Dukakis campaign manager , John Sasso, in my
computer file , is dated March 20,
1987 and wc have been active supporters of Dukakis from the beginning, because we always believed he
was the best qualified candidate.
This is not to disparage Mr.

Are lanes
needed?

THE.

Jackson , but to make the point that it is
possible to be an avid supporter of
Dukakis on his own merits.
We also believe that anyone who
has been politically conscious for the
last 10 years or so has known about
Mike Dukakis and followed his career
wilh interest, much as the careers of
Bill Bradley, Sam Nunn and Jesse
Jackson have been the subject of
comment even when they were nol
running for anything in particular.
Next, what was Dukakis doing
while Jackson was runningPUSH and
planning his campaign? He was proving what Mario denied , thai you can
govern a major industrial state while
running for president.
The day The Voice published Mr.
Lindner 's letter was the day the New
York Times announced final passage
of the first program guaranteeing
universal health insurance for all
(including low-income workers previously denied benefits , and the unemployed), in Massachusetts.
This program took years of planning, advocacy and consensus build-

ing, and is typ ical of the kind of prograniming-Mikc Dukakis will seek to
enact if he is elected in November.
Dukakis cannot help his race or
class or citmic backround anymore
than any other candidate. He is the son
of immigrants , aitendcd Swarthmorc
and Harvard on the basis of merit, and
has worked to serve the public all his
life. It strikes me as odd to hold his
experience , organizations and success agaiifsi him.
The workers of America , the elderly and all Americans in general,
need honesty and competence working for them in Washington , and that
is wh y wc are supporting Mike
Dukakis lliis year.
II " you wish details on his issues, I
have position papers on mostsubjects
available for copy ing. In the meantime , wc need helpgciling outthe vote
on Primary day, and planning for the
fall campai gn over ihc summer.

Nothing in life is that simple
BOSTON - When they write the
linguistic history of the 1980s—commemorating all those wonderful
phrases like "Peacekeeper" and "Star
Wars"— I hope they give due notice
to the greatest misnomer of them all:
The Tax Simplification Act. Yes,Tax
Simplification.
This was the pristine notion that the
government could not only lower
taxes but also lower the threshold of
confusion and mathphobia among
taxpayers.
In the greatest switch-and-bait
operation of the period , we bought
simplification. But what did wc receive? Exacdy 48 new tax forms,
2,704 changes in the code, and a 48page instruction booklet that reads
like an English translation of a manual
for operating a Japanese computer
program.
In its first year, tax reform may have
resulted in the largest transfer of income in the century. Any money that
might have been retrieved from the
government's coffers went directly to
the accountants.
But this is not another mid-April

diatribe against the government. I am
convinced that simplification was
doomed from the start. When , after
all , was the last time anything in your
life was actually simplified?
Consider the equipment you deal
with every day; the dashboard of your
car, the instruction panel of the VCR.
Consider the day itself , the increasing
variety of things that are inscribed in
your minute-at-a-glance book?
The direction of contemporary
American life is relentlessly moving
from generalist to specialist, from
simple to complex.
We no longer have one doctor's
name; we have an entire list, each
corresponding to a different part of
our anatomy.
We no longer work, eat, sleep and
take care of our families in one location; we spend our lives commuting
along some personal assembly line,
from home to school to work to shop.
The tax system is nothing more or
less than a metaphor for this technological and personal scattering. The
forms that have proliferated are a reflection of the increase in the number

of things we are supposed to know
about. There'sjust too much information . And the IRS wants it all.
Jeremy Rifking, a man of maverick
intelligence at the Foundation on
Economic Trends, has though t a good
deal about the fragmented society. He
says: "The IRS deals with individuals
as a productive unit. But that unit is increasingly Balkanized , divided , subsetted."
In the past, the average American
"productive unit" generally had one
source of income and worked in one
location, had one pension at best , one
bank account, no mortgage and no
credit card.
Now in accordance with time and
trends, we have many of the above,
each with a form to fill out.
The person with a computer at
home can work at home and deduct at
home. And then prove it to the IRS.
The bank that offers more credit options than the airlines offer fares will
give you a home-equity loan. In return
the ERS will hand you the sciencefiction creature of the new tax laws,
Form 8598. MIT graduates have

paled when confronted by it.
As for retirement income, it now
comes in more flavors than ice cream,
from ERAs to Social Security to military and company pensions. Each has
its own meaning (and calculations) to
its own "productive unit" and that
productive unit-watcher, the tax man.
It's not just our professional lives
that have divided into the sum of their
tax-relevant areas; so have our personal lives. Any number of fractured
families spend April playing the game
called "Who Gets the Kids as a Tax
Deduction?"
"It 's a mess," says Rifkin , who relates it to the decline and fall of
everybody 's favorite empire. "When
Rome got too complex in all its interactions, we got the Middle Ages with
the manor system."
That sort of nostalgia won 't get you
a tax-filing extension until the barbarians are at the gate. The reality is
that taxes imitate life. This is the time
of year that the IRS takes stock of our
lives.
The tool for the job is that wonder of
the era, The Tax Complification Act.

New York hotel
owpers accused
of tax evasion

by Eileen V. Quigley

LA. Times-Wo:hington Post Service

Hotel tyoons Harry and Leona
Helmsley aid two of their former
financial auvisers proclaimed their
innocence Thursday as the state accused then of tax evasion , conspiracy, scheming to defraud and falsifying busincis records.
The Hcmslcys, Joseph V. Licari ,
senior vie;presiden t and chief financial officsr of their Helmsley Enterprises, aid Frank J. Turco, vice presidentane'ehief of financial services for
Helmsby Hotels, appeared before
Acting New York State Supreme
Court Justice Carol Bcrkman , as a
188-tount slate indictment was
handxl up by a grand jury .
Bifkman denied the stale Atlorncy
Gcreral's office request that the
Heriislcyseach post$1 million bonds
ant' instead released Uiem on their
ov/i recognizance.
The defendants will be arraigned in
L.S. District Court here next week on
asimilar , 47-count federal tax evasion
indictment that was also returned
ihursday.
Earlier , the Hclmsleys, whose $5
million real estate empire includes 27
hotels and the Empire Suite Building,
surrendered at New York Attorney
General Robert Abrams ' office ,
where they were fingerprinted , photographed and booked.
The Hclmsleys arrived in a silver
stretch imousinc about 7:40 a.m.
Clad in a bright red dress, Mrs.
Helmsley linked arms with her husband anl smiled as the couple entered
Abram.'' office building.
The indictment, word of which had
leakedout earlier this week, charges
that b.tween June 1983, and April
1986, about $4 million in Helmsley
company funds were used to refurbish

1

the couple's $11 million , 28-acrc estate in Greenwich , Conn., which they
purchased on June 20, 1983. The
expenditures included a SI million
pool enclosure for one of the estate's
two pools that added a breakfast room
and marble dance floors, $500,000
worth of jade artwork , more than
$130,000 for an indoor-outdoor music system, and more than $370,000 in
landscaping.
The indictment alleges that these
expenses were paid by various hotels
and properties owned by the
Hclmsleys and that the four defendants falsified business records to
disguise the expenses as corporate
rather than personal. The indictment
also accuses the Hclmsleys of filing
false personal , corporate and partnership returns with New York authorities.
In addition , the indi-tmcnl claims
that the couple 's Park Lane hotel paid
for a $45,000 silver clock Mrs.
Helmsley gave her husband for his
birthday in 1984 that was designed in
the shape of the Helmsley Building on
Park Avenue. The same hotel was also
billed for "uniform s" that allegedly
were a white lace and pink satin dress
and jacket and a while chiffon skirt
that Abrams said were worth about
52,000.
The defendants were accused of
conspiracy to commit extortion by
demanding free goods and services

Hijackers seen linked to Iran
by Julie Flint

Shi'ite officials who are in close
contact with Iran believe the hijackers
or" the Kuwaiti Jumbo seized 11 days
ago are a specially trained team of
Islamic extremists with links to Iran 's
interior Minister , Hojatoleslam Ali
Akbar Mohtashemi .
The hijackers , according to these
sources, are drawn frcm two main
groups - Lebanese radicals moving in
the orbitofthe Islamic Jihad , and Iraqi
expatriates with connections to, although not necessarily ordered into
action by, the Opposition Da'wa
party. A similar team is said to have
been responsible for 'he hijacking of a
Kuwait Airways Airbus in December
1984.
The demand the.., as now, was for
the release of 17 convicted terrorists
held in Kuwait. Tne 1984 hijacking
ended after six nays when Iranian
commandos storned the plane, but
there is no evidence that the hijackers
were ever broufht to trial.
In the opinion of Lebanese observers, thehijacke s of KU422 are showing uunusual determination not to
surrender without winning some corn
cession from Kuwait , indicating that
the ordeal of the passengers still
aboard the plane may be far from over.
According to one source, who
knows himj well , the mastermind of
this lateff hijacking is Imad
MugniyetiJ an early member of

Lebanon s Hezbollah Party whose
interest in the Kuwai 17 stems from
the fact that one of the 17, Badre
Mustafa Badreddine, is related to his
wife. .
Badreddine received the death sentence after being found guilty in connection with the bombings of the
French and American embassies in
Kuwait in December 1983. An explosive expert, he is on record as boasting
that he could make a bomb with
kitchen salt.

McBrayer, 54, an Episcopalian ,
saw women and children living in
shacks without water one block from
his hotel in downtown Managua.
He saw cinderblock houses going
up along the road to the airport-evidence that , for some, life was gelling
better.
He talked at length to everyone he
met , and he came back a changed
man.
"It's not cut and dried ," he said.
Arming the Contras to fi ght the
Sandinisla regime would not end the
war in Nicaragua , he told the Lions
Club and churc'h groups in his native
Morgan ton.
Negotiations among countries in
the region might. "We don 't need to
kill women and children ," McBrayer
said in an interview last week. "This
tiling has got to stop."
Wilh those words , McBrayer
joined a coalition of mainline Protestants, Catholics and Jews who in the
last five years have been the loudest
and most consistent critics of the
Reagan administration 's policy of
military intervcniion in Central
America, according to members of
Congress, lobbyists and spokesmen
for the administration.
Not since the waning days of the
Vietnam war have mainstream
church goers become galvanized
around a forei gn policy issue to that
extent, church leaders say.
A legislative newsletter called
Impact '88, sponsored by 17 Protestant, Catholic and Jewish groups and
focused on the upcoming congressional campaigns, is blunt: "For
Americans, the number one moral
problem of this decade is public policy in Central America."
The impact these churches have

had on U.S. policy is hard to measure,
but forei gn policy analysts say it is
undeniable that by stirring up and
sustaining public rejection of military
intervention , they have restrained the
president in what he was willing to
propose and Congress in what it was
willing to finance.
"They have made it much more
difficult for Reagan to pursue the
policy of unrestrained military escalation he advocated early on ," said
William M. LeoGrande, political science professor at American University.
Drawing on years of work in Central American missions, a grass-roots
constituency in the United States and
an unusually unified moral position,
these religious organizations have
helped turn some members of Congress around and helped defeat others.
Cindy Buhl , director of the political
action committee Pax Americas,
credits churches and church-affiliated
groups wilh helping whittle the list of
congressional swing votes on Central
America-from about 80 House votes

in 1984 to about 30 now and from

approximately 16 in the Senate four
years ago to 5 now.
"They organized early and best,"
she said.
The religious lobby's presence was
fel t during recent House discussions
on Contra aid.
"They 've lobbied on other issues,
but on this one I really saw the impact," said George Kundanis, floor
assistant to Rep. Thomas S. Foley, DWash., who helped the majority
leader engineer Democratic alternatives. "Conservative constituents
picked this issue out as different."
"I don 't know of a single foreign
policy issue on which they 've

weighed in more heavily,'' said Rep.
Henry J. Hyde, R-UL , a Reagan supporter. "It has been a clerical fullcourt press. They were particularl y
effective in marginal districts."
Rep. Dave McCurdy, D-Okla.,
from Norman , one of those marginal
districts, was "definitely lobbied
more on Central America than on any
other issue," said legislative assistant
Mike Chapman.
His constituents are split on military aid for the Contras, Chapman
said, "but all the church groups were
saying no aid, no aid."
On Feb. 3, McCurdy voted against
Reagan 's last attempt at lethal aid for
the Contras.
Clearly, other factors have influenced members such as McCurdy,
notably the progress of the peace plan
proposed by Costa Rican President
Oscar Arias.
Yet few in Congress deny that each
side wanted the churches ' help, particularly because every vote was
close.
When the Democratic leadership
was putting together its fragile , $30. 8
million package of humanitarian aid
for Nicaragua last month , Rep. David
R. Obey, D-Wis., called on the U.S.
Catholic Conference, the policymaking body of Catholic bishops, for
support.
The Democratic caucus staff gave
members of Congress a list of organizations supporting or opposing the
proposal, which began, "Due lo the
interest of many members in the positions of peace and religious organizations on the Democratic package... . "
Church groups split over the plan ,
breaking a pattern of unity. All but
five GOP members voted against it ,
and the plan failed , 208 to 216.

"I leave with a lototmemories and
friends ,"says professdr Hitoshi Sato,
who has played a rolefor the past 17
years in establishing the theatre
commune at BU' s carious.
The frown fades behind a smile as
he reminisces about j iis stay in
Bloomsburg from 197/ to the pres^
ent. As he makes clear iys intention
of leaving BU and the theatre this
summer to go the Japan ese way of
"free-enterprising," he leaves behind
a rich tradition of visual at and philosopy.
On choosing Bloomsbuig as the
university to teach at , Sab commented , "I had taught at Duke University and the University tf Wisconsin before coming here ani what
immediately attracted me to this
campus was not onl y because of its
beautiful rural setting but the absence
of any rig id line of demarcatioi '^between the campus and the town.''
On education , Sato believe, it
should not stand aloof and disftni
from everyday life. Instead , it shoald
be ingrained as we live and breaih.
"School ," said Sato, "should not be
the preparation for life, it is life."
Sato 's aesthetic perceptions were
fascinated by theatre as a medium of
presenting ones philisophical half.
"This art has a great immediacy. If
you learned the theory yesterday,
you must practice it today."
What then , has held back: the general public from seeking theatre as a
mode of entertainment? It is the the
emergence of the mass communication channel which has immobilized
it. Sato remarks, "It was proper for a
boy in the 60's to dress fornally and
take his date to a theatre. That is not
the case today. They would ruber go
to a movie which , with its Tiechanized control of human movements
produces a much more paatable
form of pleasure."

Abortion issue

Opinions differ on new law

By Richard Bullaro
Staff Writer
Governor Casey recently signed a
bill that would limit the availability
of abortions in Pennsylvania. According to an Associated Press article, the first part of the new law
would require woman under the age
of 18 to have the written consent of at
least one parent or a court order to
receive an abortion. The law also
requires women who are the victims
of rape or incest to report the crime to
the proper authorities before becoming eligible for public funds for an
abortion.
There are many mixed feelings
about this new ruling. "I think the bill
is good in requiring the report of rape,
but severely limits the rights of individuals under 18," says Bridgcit
Sullivan , a freshman at Bloomsburg
University. "Requiring something
like that (parents' permission) takes
away personal freedom of choice."
Likewise , freshman Chrissa
Hosking feels that it should not be
necessary to h;"'"; a parent 's permission to receive an abortion. "I feel
that you should have to inform your
parents, but not need their permission, " says Hosking, "They should
have the choice to do what they want
with their own bodies. "
Many pro-choice supporters do
not agree with any part of the bill .
Jane Pavlaca Frantz, who teaches
journalism at Bloomsburg , feels that
a woman 's personal choice should
not be limited in any way. "I agree

lhat parents should be informed
about it , but no law should require
women to get someone else's consent." Franiz continued by offering
an alternative to this mandatory consent. She believes that women under
18 may need guidance in making a
decision such as this, and may be able
to find that guidance in profession als.
Sophomore Staccy DiMcdio believes lhat it is a good idea to report a
rape so that the attacker can be apprehended , but she docs not agree that
reporting it should be required by
law. It should be a women 's choice
to report a rape, nol the governments." Frantz agrees, "Often the
attacker is someone that the women
knows, and she is reluctant to report
such a crime because of the embarrassment involved." She believes
that the new law is a form of "punishment" for not reporting the crime.
Many people believe that the law is
good in requiring women under the
age of 18 to have a parent 's consent.
"Abortion is a personal choice, and
people under 18 are not mature
enough to make that choice alone,"
says freshman Angela Candori .
Junior Troy Hunsinger believes
that the law is fair because women
under 18 are still under their parents'
rule and should have their consent
before getting an abortion.
Ellen Maresca, 21, says "people
under 18 are too young to be engaged
in sex...it is too easy to get an abortion
these days." She says that parents

should talk to their children about sex
and contraception. A local nursing
student agrees lhat women under 18
should have a parent 's consent.
She says, "In schools today, education about relationships is much different than it was twenty years
ago...today, kids arc more informed
about sex and wc need something
like this."
Most pro-life supporters do not
agree with the new legislation because it docs not outlaw abortion . "I
don 't feel that abortion should be
condoned in any way, shape, or
form ,"says Sally Francola, 19, "bull
recognize that every person has the
right to their own opinion."
A freshman at Bloomsburg believes that the new law will not
change anything because it will not
deter abortion. "I' m against abortion
in general and I don 't see how this
will make much of a difference,"
says the freshman.
Some believe that this new law
will cause an increase in illegal abortions in Pennsylvania. "If they can 't
get an abortion the legal way , they 'll
go to someone who will do it regardless of the law ," says a juni or mass
communications major , "It may also
cause an increase in the suicide rate."
It is evident that the new law has
stirred many different reactions from
the community. According to the AP
article, spokespersons for the American Civil Liberties of Pennsy lvania
labeled the new law "a civil liberties
disaster."

"A teacher is
there to teach,

As an educator he would raher
follow the eastern formal methoc of
teaching, which renders the hi.rarchial set-up to a distinctive level.
"A teacher is there to teach and lie
student is there to learn."
What Soto most fondly remembers
as a teacher is the production unit _f
Bell Shazzar ,a play he directed. "Tie
entire class worked for 20-22 hoursa
day to make the production a success."
The success of the play was not is
box office draw, but the fact that it
made the student form a productive
combination of artist/humanbeing "
To Soto, education had alwa/s
meant a philosophical "soul searching". The future of present day college theatre and educations seems
bleak to him not onl y because "it has
been made too easy", but also because "the students are no longer
motivated by the intellectual search
for a higher reality."
For him , education does not confine itself to the four walls of a classroom, instead it is global.
Soto also listed internationalism as
one of the inhiirent aspects of school
life. "When I akended the University
of North Carolina , we used to havean
international dorm where the international students and a large number
of American stukents lived together.

racially integrated and international
school for artistic and theatrical talents.
This is evident as Raisin in the Sun,
a play depicting the social problems
that blacks must deal wilh , played
from April 15-17 at the McCormick
Forum.
Mimi Mikalac, student director
for "Raisin in the Sun " shares her
feelings on the production.
"Andre Wills, a theatre major , was
the first to approach the department
with the idea of presenting the BU
students with the social dilemma that
a common black famil y encounters in
their day-to-day lives. Raisin in the
Sun was selected as it highlighted a
plot about a family which faces
problems concerning money, religion and abortion . His extra effort
and initiative made the theatre department aware of the lack of student
activities for the black students on
campus and how unaware the students were in general of the black
social problems."
On her relationship with the actors,
Mikalac said, "I had a long talk with
my actors before we started on the
project and came to the conclusion
that I, being a white, and them , being
blacks would have no impactwhatso-

ever on our professional relationship."
They achieved a degree of comfort
when , according to Mikalic, everyone became "color blind."
Mikalac explains that the show
was not meant to teach anything in
particular but rather to help students

relate to specific problems. "These the black problems and that we
are universal problems. Everyone should grow out of "pre-set notions

Exercise furthers social health

by Linda McLeod
Staff Writer
Exercise can be the first step in
starting and maintaining a process
that promotes social health.
According to psychologists, regular exercises have significantly increased their levels of self-esteem.
Measures of self-acceptance, selfimage and self-assuredness have all
been found to correlate positively
with such variables as increased
aerobic capacity , aerobic-fitness
scores, running activity, and general
physical fitness.
Mary Kane, a senior, rides bike,
runs, lifts weights and does aerobics.
Kane says that , "exercise makes you
feel good.It makes you look good, so
you can go out and meet more
people."
John Rohrbach , also a senior ,
agrees. "It makes me feel better,
physically and mentally." Rohrbach
alternates his exercise routine between weight-lifting, racquetball ,
and tennis.
Recently, he attended one of of the
aerobic classes offered in the Centennial Gym and recommends the experience to both men and women. "I
enjoyed it much more than jogg ing
because of the music and people-it
wasn 't boring. It was a good change
of routine."
And Chris DeMarco, a junior, at-

tends aerobics because of the sense of
accomplishment she gets for "getting
through the hour without falling
over." DeMarco says, "If I'm having
a bad day, aerobics helps get out my
frustrations in a non-violent way."
In addition to boosting self-esteem, exercise appears to have an
effect on tension and anxiety levels.
Exercise not only rids the body of
certain stresses, but it produces a
tension-free state after a workout.

A\*&

There are many different outlooks
on the role of exercise.
Lisa Finkleslein, a senior, sees it
simply as a way to stay thin, while
another student believed exercise
was "a substitute for sex."
Whatever your viewpoint on the
role of exercise, the benefits are the
same: exercise can and will improve
you,both body and soul. Andbesides
that DeMarco says, ".. .it's just fun.

Lacrosse club wins
seventh game in a row
Bloomsburg University's lacrosse club
team narrowly defeated visiting Bucknel l by a
5-4 margin yesterday at Nelson Ficldhouse to
take their third win in four days and record
their seventh win in a row.
Bloomsburg began the weekend on Thursday when they took on Penn State in a match
that was heavily contested but eventually won
by Bloomsburg, 5-4.
Dan Nagcl recorded two goals in that game
including the game winner . Gary McClain ,
Troy Francisco and Tod Gibian each added a
goal for the winning cause.
"This is the first time wc have ever beaten
Penn State twice in one season," said head
coach Bill Acicrno about the victory. "In the
past we have cither split wilh them or lost
twice."
Then on Saturday, the Huskies took a win
by forfeit as Lycoming College was unable to
play.
After that, it was up against a tough visisting
Bucknell team that the Huskies had logo head
to head with.
The offense responded with McClain scoring two goals for the victors. Don Shearer and
Tod Gibian each added a lone goal in the effort
and for the second game in a row , Dan Nagel
netted the game-winning goal.
The wins by the Huskies can be contributed

to many factors, but none is more prominent
than the goalkccping of Mark Burkholder.
In the game against Bucknell Burkholder
recorded 13 saves and had 14 saves in the
Huskies' victory over Penn Stale.
The three victories by Bloomsburg raised
their overall record to 7-0 en the season and
head coach Bill Acierno has some hig h hopes
for the rest of the season.
"Our goal is to win the last four games and
go 11-0," he said, "that would be a great way
to finish our 10lh year as a club team. "
"If the players do nol slack oil or get loo
caught up in the end of the year festivities , wc
have a good chance of reaching that goal ,"
Acicrno said confidently.
The goal, althoug h realizable , "'ill be no
easy task as the Huskies will have to play three
of their last four games on the road.
Bloomsburg will take their first step toward s that goal with their next game which
will be against Juniata this coining Wednesday, April 20 at Juniata.
After that contest, they will return home to
play their last remaining home match this
Saturday, April 23 against Millersville beginning at 1 p.m.
Acicrno hopes lhat the students will come
out and support this club and promises that "it
won't be dull!"

l(loonisl>urg Lniversi ty smen 's lacrosse cluh won its third gum'.' in tour days and their seventh in a row to remain undefeated at 7-0. They now have four games
standing between them and their goal , an undefeated season.

Flyers blow Lacrosse team beats
huge lead, Offense explodes against
Bears but stalls at Drew
Devils a
surprise

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGU1

J im Fisher
Staff Writer
The first round of the N ML playoffs arc over and the onl y upset is
only a mild one.
The New Jersey Devils handed
the New York Islanders a fourgamcs-to-lwo victory in the playoff scries.
The Devils ' goaltender , Scan
Burke , was outstanding in the nets.
In game Uircc , Burke handed the
Islanders a 3-0 shutout.
In the other Patrick Di vision , the
Washington Capitals took care of
the Philadelphia Flyers in seven
games. The Cap itals were able to
come back from a two-game deficit.
The Flyers weren 't able to quiet
the heart and soul of the Capitals 's
Dal Hunter. Hunter scored the
game winning goal in overtime of
Game Seven.
In the Adams Division , there
were no surprises. The top two
teams, the Montreal Canadicns
and the Boston Bruins , took care
of their respected foes rather easily.
Stcp hanc Richer scored six
goals against the Hartford Whalers. The Whalers lost their goalie,
Mike Luit , in Game One to an
inj u ry .
The Boston Bruins took care of
the Buffalo Sabres in six games. In
a losing cause , John Tucker scored
six goals for the Sabres.
In the Campbell Conference
Norris Division ihc Detroit Red
Wings surprised mc because I
thought they would roll over and
die because the loss of Steve Y/.crman.

Y/.crman is my choice for the
League's MVP for his 102 points
in 64 games.
Pctrc Klima came through for
the Red Wings as the offensive
gun.
Greg Stefan picked up the slack
against the Toronto Maple Leafs
when Glen Hanlon went down
wilh an injury.
In the other playoff scries, the
St. Louis Blues defeated the Chicago Black Hawks in five games.
Youngsters Tony Hrkac and
Brent Hull arc coming out of the
series as superstars .
In the Smytlic Division , the
showdown between the Calgary
Flames and the Edmonton Oilers
was set by both teams advancing.
The Calgary Flames took care of
the Los Angeles Kings in fi ve
games. Haakan Loob picked up
where he left off.
The Oilers look care of the Winni peg Jets in 5 games. Wayne
Grctzky came lo play with his
usual playoff form.
Glenn Anderson received a
match penalty in Game Four and a
five minute slashing penalty in
Game Five. The League onl y fined
Anderson for the incidents.
For all you Flyers fans, they
have to rebuild a bit after their
playoff performance. Goalie Ron
Hextall looked miserable throughout the scries. The goon tactics
didn 't work in the playoffs and
haven ' t seemed to work during the
regular season.
A general agreement for the fans
of the NHL is to change the format
for making the playoffs.
The New York Rangers finished
with 82 points and the Pittsburgh
Penguins finished with 81. The
Maple Leafs and the Kings finished in the middle 50s.
I think the old system of taking
the top 16 teams no matter what
division they are in is the best
format for making the playoffs.
For the second round , look for
the Cap itals , Canadiens , Red
Wings, and the Flames to eliminate their opposition and advance
to the semi-finals.

In a wild and hairy slugfest against
Pennsylvania rival Kutztown , the
Bloomsburg University women's lacrosse team won a 16-14 decision on
the strength of Calhy Samples five
goals.
Bloomsburg had been winning the
game at the half by an 8-5 count but
was outscored 9-8 in the second half
to make the game closer.
The win kept Bloomsburg's hopes
of a PSAC playoff berth alive.
In a non-conference match against
Drew University, Bloomsburg's offense was stifled and was able to score
onl y hal f the total of its output the in
the previous game.
In the first half , Drew jumped out to
an early 6-3 lead on the strong play of
Jean Jordan. Jordan finished with four
goals.
Bloomsburg came back strong in
the second half , outscoring Drew by a
5-4 count ot make the game close.
Bloomsburg finall y fell by a score
of 10-8.

Bloomsburg outshot Drew by a 3629 count , but couldn 't convert the
shots.
Drew's goalie, Scarpa ,, stymied the
Huskies' offense and stifled the attack
as she had 18 saves on the day.
For Bloomsburg , Ruth Doyle had a
good day as she turned away 10 shots
on goal .
Kell y Cuthbcrl led the team against
Drew scoring three goals and adding
an assist.
Chris Scavo , "Cathy Samples ,
Sherry Hoover , Cindy Dacchc and
Nancy Warmcrdam each had a goal
while Rhodes added an assist.
The loss dropped the Huskies to 23 overall on the year, but the win at
Kutztown left them 2-2 in the PSAC
and definitely in the ninning for a
playoff spot , only two games behind
the division leader.
Their next action will be Thursday,
April 23 when they travel to Lock
haven lo take on the Bald Eagles in an
important PSAC batUe

Bloomsburg University 's Softball
team began by swiping a pair of of
Colgate and ended the weekend by
snatching the twinbill from visiting
Millersville.
In the opener against Colgate, it
was a six run fourth inning that
spccled doom for Colgate.

Afte r Bloomsburg had already
score two in the first inning and Colgale had lied il up in the third , the
Huskies used six hits to garner their
six runs with the big blow coming off
of the bat of Cindy Slocum as she
contributed a big three-run triple in
that inning.

Bloomsburg scored eight runs in
the fi rst three innings and J.P. Thomas
pitched a six-hit one-run ball game as
the Bloomsburg University basebal l
team destroyed the Kutztown team by
a final of 14-1.
The second hal f of the doubleheader was called off due to the inclement weather conditions.
The Huskies won the game in the
first inning when Steve Sees opened
the game wilh a walk and then stole
second base.
After the first out , Rob Kirkpatrick
doubled home Sees. After the second
out, Tim Pritchard came to the plate
and belted a two-run shot off of starter
and eventual loser Greg Rautzahn to
take a 3-0 lead and the Huskies were
off.
The Huskies added three more in

Philadelphia sports: The end of an era

by Mike Mullen
Sports Editor
How many of us can remember
back to the beginning of the 1980s?
Sure most of us can do it, heck
Jimmy Carter was still president in
1980 when the decade began.
The decade began in a very good
way in Philadelphia. First off , their
beloved Phillies became World
Champions after some 97 years of
waiting.
Then th ree month s later, the
Eagles, forever victims of Monday
morning quarterbacks, beat Dallas to
earn a trip to the Super Bowl.
Unfortunatl y, they lost.
The point was still clear, though
and it hung in every Philadelphian 's
mind but they dared not utter a word.
Perhaps this could be the beginning
of a little prosperity in the sports
world? Would the decade of the 80's
be kinder than the 70's had?
Every fan of just about any Philadelphia team remembers the 70's as a
time they would like to forget.
In 1972, you have a man named

Steve Carlton win the Cy Young
Award by winning 27 games. The
team barely won 60 and finished dead
last in its division.
In 1976, the Sixers adopted the "We
owe you one" slogan due to their early
departure from the playoffs.
This soon began to add up to we
owe you several, as year after year,
they just couldn't capture that elusive
crown.
That same year was the beginning
of a domination by the Phillies of the
National League East that would
conitnue through 1983 excepting
1979, 1981 and 1982.
But the early years were not good to
this young team. Although winning
100 games two years in a row, they
couldn't escape the vacuum of the
league championship playoffs.
First the Reds dropped them in
three, yes this was back when theLCS
was a respectable number of games,
not like the farce now, then the Dodgers beat them two years in a row by 31 counts both years.
The only good thing was the Flyers,

but that was well forgotten as they
hadn 't seriously challenged in a while.
No, all was not well in the 70's for
Philadelphia.
But wait, could the 80's be a redemption?
At first it appeared as if it would.
The World Series victory, the Eagles
first appearance in the Super Bowl,
things were looking up.
Things got even better, when in
1982, the Sixers, six years late, decided to repay that old debt and took
an NBA crown.
What could stop this town from
competing with New York and Los
Angeles in terms of athletic competition? •
Well, themselves.
Success had tasted too sweet to the
fans of Philadelphia and perhaps they
weren't ready for it. They kept booing
as they had for so many years.
Front offices did major rearranging
and stepped on many toes, hell even
the good Doctor was put up for trade.
Was nothing sacred?
The beginning of the end could be

seen when the Phillies again made a
trip to the World Series in 1983, but
posed very little threat and quietly lost
quickly to Baltimore.
Another sign was then flashed
when the Flyers, seemingly invincible, lost a crushing seven game series to the Great One and Edmonton
and lost the Stanley Cup.
Is this what Julius Erving had
warned us of in his farewell speech
given on the night of his last home
game, probably the last time any Sixer
fan really had anything to cheer
about?
Look around, the Sixers didn 't
qualify for the playoffs for the first
time in twelve years, the Flyers got
knocked out of the playoffs in the first
round , and the Phillies start 3-1, then
take the rest of the summer off.
It definitely is the end of an era my
friends . One that started twelve years
ago with some guys you could look up
to like Erving and Schmidt. They
cared, they played hard. Now they are
almost all gone.
The City of Champions has died.
