Students contribute
to university funds

A $250,000 challenge gift has been
pledged over the next five years by the
students of Bloomsburg University
toward a major comprehensive fundraising drive to begin January 1989 in
conjunction with the Susquecentennial Celebration of the university,
according to Anthony Ianiero, director of development.
"The gift is a challenge to the
alumni and friends of the university to
join in and support this vital fundraiser for the 150th celebration of the
institution 's founding," said Edward
Gobora III, president of the Community Government Association.
"We want lo begin the celebration
in a big way, and we believe this
contribution will help us to do that,"
he said.
Ianiero said the gift has been earmarked for the Library Enhancement

Fund , one of the priorities established
for the drive.
Daniel Vann , director of library
services for Andruss Library, notes
the student gift will be an endowment
for additional books and other materials to meet curricula requirements of
the university that could not be purchased without the special funds.
"Some of the funds will purchase
books and materials to enhance the
research collection of the library," he
said.
BU President Harry Ausprich congratulated and thanked the students
for their generous gift and said, "It
should prove an inspiration to everyone planning to take part in the
university's celebration ."
Ausprich said .the trustees are considering other target areas that will be
announced later.

Three speakers discussed such issues as campus racism , social awareness and civil
p„olo by TJ Kemmerer
rights at the Forum on Monday.

by Dawn D 'Aries
Staff Writer
Four topics for discussion were
presented at the Planning and Budget
Committee meeting Thursday, April
14, in the Forum of McCormick
Center for Human Services, according to co-chairpersons Dr. Betty Allamong, provost and vice president
for Academic Affairs, and Brian A.
Johnson , professor of geography and
earth science.
At a special meeting set for May 5,
a review of implementations and information concerning the 1982 to
1987 long-range budget plan will be
provided, according to Dr. Nancy
Onuschak , interim assistant vice
president for Academic Affairs and
chairperson of the Strategic Planning
Subcommittee.
The subcommittee will work on
formulating a two-year budget and
program plan .
The Budget Subcommittee's role
will also be explained at the May 5
meeting, according to Dr. James

Lauffer, associate professor of geography and earth science and committee chairperson of the Budget Subcommittee.
The Environ mental Scanning Subcommittee, concerned with enrollment information, future needs and
demographics, was presen ted by John
Walker, vice president of Institutional Advancement.
He is conferring with previous
Environmental Scanning Subcommittee members of the Strategic Planning Committee to decide whether or
not to continue his effort.
An Enrollment updatp presented by
Dr. Tom Cooper, dean and Enrollment Management, reported on maintaining desired enrollment.
He emphasized that understanding
certain variables is necessary to determine the size of incoming freshman
classes. In the fall, Cooper will try lo
improve student retention with positive programs.
The next meeting will be 3:30 p.m.,
May 5 and is open to all.

in Porter s opinion , is the lack of
minorities in power positions at state
universities.
He cited that six of 13 schools do
not have black members on their
boards of trustees permanently, have
no black vice-presidents and have
few black department heads.
He argued that power positions
must be held by minorities before
changes will benefit them.
He said that while James
McCormick, chancellor of the State
System of Higher Education , was
president of BU between 1972 and
1982, 75 black students of 700 who
attended Bloomsburg were graduated.
Discussing how negative white
perceptions of blacks foster racial
hostility at white college institutions,
he spoke of an American Bar Association study of law school minority
students which concluded mat minorities feel less educationally qualified, and which stated that racism
contributed to minority student
stresses.
The final speaker was Jack Bloom,
who reviewed the civil rights movement and linked other social movements to it.
Bloom , the author of Class, Race,
and the Civil Rights Movement and a
professor at the University of Indiana ,
believes that the next United States
President will inherit a pro-right
wing, Reagan-administration legacy
consisting of an anti-minority, antisocial program.
He added that this will cause a revival of social and civil movements.

According lo Bloom , the civil
rights movement was successful because it was a coalition of various
groups supporting a similar cause. He
sees Jessie Jackson building a new
coalition.
"I'm not saying Jackson will win
the presidency... whatl do think is the
close of the Reagan Era will create a
new era with a climate for the expan sion of civil rights and other movements," he said.

Speakers discuss racial issues and rights

by John Risdon
Staff Writer
Issues of racism, civil rights and
discrimination were addressed Monday in the President's Lounge at 2
p.m. and in the McCormick Forum at
7:30 p.m. by speakers in a program
entitled "Civil Rights and Racial
Hostility in 1988".
The evening's first speaker was
Philip Parrish, executive director of
the Health and Welfare Committee of
the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
Parrish addressed institutional racism and applauded the actions of
Penn State students who were arrested during a recent racial protest.
"Something must be done with
administrations who don't listen to
(racial) problems," Parrish commented.
"If they don 't listen to black students, they don 't listen to whites cither."
Parrish said that if the Penn Slate
administration listened to these students, the riot would not have occurred.
He and others are trying to reduce
the charges of students arrested in the
protest.
Discussing government and racial
problems, he said that former Pennsylvania Gov. Richard Thornburg
was responsible for leaving a "trail of
horror stories in the areas of health ,
education, and every aspect of living."
He added that actions in Washington and Harrisburg are directly affecting students, who should become

more pohucally aware of their government.
Parrish ended by speaking about
attitudes directed at minorities.
He warned that "the myths about
blacks must be shed individuall y so
people can join together. Attitudes are
the key to the door of the future. If you
don 't change your attitudes, the door
will remain closed, and even though
the laws arc on the book, no change
will occur ."
The next speaker, Aaron Porter,
who attended BU and sat on the
Council of Trustees from 1982 to
1985, spoke of his black experience
through college and graduate schools.
After thanking people who supported him at Bloomsburg , he applauded the efforts of Joshua Lee,
president of the Black Cultural Society, and Karen Cameron , a member of
the Council of Trustees.
Porter then addressed racism on
college campuses.
As a specific example of racism, he
spoke about a white fraternity at the
University of Pennsylvania which
hired two black strippers to perform at
a rush party, where members later
engaged in sexual acts with the
women.
Discussing changes at BU since he
left, Porter said a black faculty member with a doctorate will be hired this
fall for the first time in the
university's 150-year history.
According to him , as the number of
black faculty members increases , the
number of black students on campus
will increase also.

What does Jesse want?
¦¦-, . .

—

.

. .

by Dr. K. Vinodgopal
Donna Allen
Guest Columnists
The million dollar question these
days on everyone's lips is "What does
Jesse want?"Theanswerisamazingl y
simple: Jesse Jackson wants to be the
next president of the United States.
Let us for a moment forget the fact that
a similar question has never been
posed to any of the other presidential
candidates.
More important is that nearly 3.5
million voters ranging from Anchorage, Alaska to Portland , Maine , and
tc
from D u l u t h , Minnesota
Brownsville , Texas have answere d
the question quite convincingl y in the
sense that what Jesse Jackso n wants :s
what they want.
Rather than challenge the uneioo ui bility assumptions here which is •_ -..:
implicit basis for the question :r. tho
media , we thought thai we v- ould to;e
this opportunity to answer the :'^r
more interesting question: ""'•'•."-.i:
does Jesse Jackson v. act: as pros dent. " (It is fashionable in. the ~o_o-stream media to support that .* i;'j ur is long on rhetori c but short cn. spec tfics. The error lies v-ith those .-;.-porters w-ho convenientl y assurr. -:•una:
Jackson 's positions are r.o: :.-. -J-.;
mainstream - and who is this so cali;d
mainstream voter - ar.a merer:: ;
never bother to actually find cu: •¦¦.ha
Jackson stands for.
The Jackson agenda has importan t
' implications for both students arid
teachers at every level of the academic ladder including, us at
Bloomsburg University. He is the
onl y candidate to consistently demand increased social spending and
cutbacks in the military budget. It is
not only that our bridges are collapsing or have to be shut down but that
our schools, colleges and universi tiles
have aloso fared very badl y under the
Reagan onslaught of cutbacks and
pnvauzation. Jackson would double
the Federal education budget and give
education the priority it deserves, so
that all needy students can obtain
scholarships and financial aid minus
the cradle to grave debt burden that
they currentl y carry.
Jackson is the only candidate who
has challenged right wing notions
about the role of government in our
life. It is the role of government (and
not some absurd notions of voluntarism) to guarantee a better life in
every respect for its citizens. Private
industry enamored as it is with the
bottom line cannot even begin to cater
to these fundamental necessities. It is
the moral responsibility of the government to provide universal education , universal health care and decent
shelter for all. As Jackson has pointed
out, these objectives can all be accom plished if Reaganism is destroyed. To
quote Jackson "the way out of the
current mess is the way in. "
To begin with , President Jackson
would return to the principles of pro-

gressive taxation, institute a higher
minimum wage of S5, a moratorium
on farm foreclosures, increase corporate taxes to the levels of the early 70s
and invest billions of dollars of pension funds in sociallyproductive areas
such as low-income housing. Jackson
would call for a worker ' s Bill of

whether it is going to be used in producing more aircraft carriers, more
Trident missiles , more exotic and
worthless space weapons and thereby
deepen social disparities or whether it
should be used in more socially productive areas such as our cities , roads ,
schools and universities.
As president , Jesse Jackson would
press for a renewed enforcement of
civil rights laws and the extension of
civil rights across the board to all
people irrespective of race, sex, religious or sexual preference. He would
introduce comparable worth legislation for women , push for renewed
ratification of the ERA , and compre-

hensive day care, thereby giving the
family its due and rightfu l place in
America. To quote Jackson "Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
In the area of foreign policy, Jesse
Jackson is the onl y Democratic candidate who has had the courage to speak
out against Reagnile militarism. Eight
years of Reagan 's manic anti-communis t crusade has onl y earned the
U.S. more enemies around the world
and has left death and destruction in
its wake from Southern Africa to
Central America to the Middle East.
Jackso n would push for comprehensive sanctions against Southern Africa and an end to the current and implicit) ' racist bipartisan policy of support tor covert war against the legitimate governments of Angola and
Mozambique. In contrast , Jackson
would initiate a progra m of US economic and military assistance to the
frontline states in Southern Africa so
that they can withstand Pretoria 's
aggression. Jackson would reverse
the Reagan doctrine of support for
anti-leftist insurgencies around the
world and instead emphasize closer
tics to the Third World. He would
support the formation of an independent Palestinian state within the framework of guaranteed borders and security for Israel, open full diplomatic
relations with Cuba and a reduction of
US forces in Europe and A.sia.

The above Jackson agenda is by no
means comprehensive but just a taste
of what is in store. No doubt this
agenda scares some, but then the
Jackson candidacy is by no means a
vehicle for the rich and wealth y of this
country. It is a campaign "of the
people, by the people and for the
people." Three and one-half million
voters across the country and many
more to come are vociferously supportive of this agenda and acute l y
aware that this is theirs as much as
Jackson 's agenda. If you believe in
the above , then we urge you to vote for
Jesse Jackson in the Pennsylvania
Democratic primary on April 26.
Onward Jesse!

Experience is the key

To the editor ,
After reading the commentary in
the Thursday, Apri l 14 edition of The
Voice , I saw a person 's view which
seemed to be one sided. He mentioned
in his article that Dukakis is politicall y experienced. I agree with him ,
but what experience does Jesse
Jackson have? He has never served in
any public office.
Dukakis has been in politics for a
good 25 years, with 12 years serving
as Governor of Massachusetts.
There are many reasons why
Jackson is so close. One , he is very
talented and smart. Secondly, he is a
charismatic public speaker. But this
commentary failed to realize the
number of blacks coming out to vote,
which have a more liberal approach
then the Democratic party has.
He also mentioned about promoting compaigns, where Jackson has
spent far less than Dukakis. This is
very true, but if Dukakis wants to
spend money to spread his word , then
let him spend his money.
What does this have to do with
being more qualified? Nothing! He
spends the money to keep his campaign strong across the United Sta tes.
I can 't even believe that this article
actuall y mentioned Hart supporters
jump ing to Dukakis because he is
white.
In. that same paragraph , he mentioned his political views being unknown. Where did the S2.3 million
go, that the article mentioned earlier?
Down the drain ! I think you should
look at the politicall y similarities of
Dukakis and Hart and not the color of
the canidates.
Voters of the United States are
ready for a black president; let it be
someone with experience, such as
Tom Bradley or Bill Gray, who have
held a political position for many
years and not just running for a political position like Jesse Jackson is.
These opinionated statements are
just that- opinions. What does that
person think he wrote in his commentary? Even a political reporter who
spoke at Bloomsburg University
named Juan Williams gave his opin-

Debating the right to take a life

BOSTON — The Journal of the
American Medical Association is not
a sensationalist rag. The blood and
gore that dot its pages is of the clinical
sort found in operating rooms. The
passions it evokes are relatively arcane debates between between people
who do double - blind crossover
studies for a living.
Nevertheless, this year the very
same journal presented the country
with something new in the annals of
horror stories. It was the tale of an
exhausted young doctor stalking the
hospital halls and rather casually
rather casually injecting a terminall y
ill patient with lethal drugs.
The editors published an anonymous piece written by a self-described mercy killer who had been
confronted with a young woman
dying painfully of cancer. The author
wrote: "Her only words to me were,
'Let's get this over with' " And after
several seconds of deep moral dilemma, this doctor killed her.
The horror story was entitled, "It's
over, Debbie." But the Debbie story
has had one of the lonest postmortems
in JAMA history.
First the editors had to go to court to

defend the author s anonymity from
outraged law enforcers. Next they had
to defend the publication of the piece
from those who doubted its truth and/
or the wisdom of printing it.
Finally they had to sort through 150
letters on the subject— the equivalent
of 1,500 for Ann Landers — and
choose 18 to print in the current issue
along with two commentaries and an
editorial.
There was almost no professional
support for this resident's off-the-cuff
decision to "end it all" — without
talking to Debbie, her real doctor or
her family. Not even the Hemlock
society approved.
But in some perverse way, the horror story may finally be provoking a
more level-headed and much needed
discussion about a humane was of
dying. From the debate raging in and
out of the "letters" column , it seems
that there is a very real split between
the medical profession and the public.
Most doctors were anxious to defend themselves from charges that
they might be hastening death. The
public, on the other han d, seemed
most concerned with a painful and
prolonged dying.

As. Dr. George Lundberg, the editor of JAMA, who has been full y
immersed in this debate , says: "The
argument ranged from the doctors '
concern with preserving life to the
public 's rather profound desire not to
suffer."
In the letter from one non-physician: "What is more unethical, to let
this young woman live in misery or to
relieve her suffering?"
To many of us, \he choices seem
just that stark: a prolonged miserable
dying or a doctor-assisted death . Increasingly the public is reacting to its
fear of pain and suffering by trying to
get control over medical treatment.
Consider the initiative that may end
up on the California ballot this year . It
would allow a terminally ill patient to
write a directive saying that a ph ysician could help the patient die.
This is not being pushed by injection-happy physicians. It 's being
advocated by people fearful of the
alternative. It comes from the other
assumption that too few terminally ill
people, especially those with cancer ,
experience a humane dying, one in
which the patient's comfort is a priority.

Dr. Ronald Cranford of Minneapolis has written about the treatment of
his mother-in-law in the final stages
of lung cancer. Her priorities became
his treatment. He replaced life-prolong ing drugs with painkilling drugs.
Most doctors, says Cranford , believe in making their patients comfortable, but don 't "have the couraged
of their convictions in terms of the
humane care of the dying. "
This is the debate that shoul d be
taking place. What are the appropriate
humane roles of doctors in care of the
dying? When should doctors remain
passive through the simple non-treatment of a patient? When is it appropriate to administer painkillers even if
those shorten a life? How involved
should a doctor become in active euthanasia? Providing lethal drugs?
Administering them on request?
Debbie 's doctor , a stranger to her,
acted on one ambi guous remark:
"Let 's get this over with." But from
the extraordinary response to this
case, most of us want a much more
intense conversation with the medical
community about suffering as well as
death. The Debbie story is not over
yet, not by a long shot

ion on the Jesse Jackson campaign.
Williams said that Jackson 's candidacy is weakening the unity of the
Democratic party. This is a strong
statement by a black politica l reporter.
In that article, he wanted to stress
that Jackson is most qualified, but I
guess hedidn 't see that Jackson hasn 't
held a political office. He onl y sights
the respect Jackson got from forei gn
countries because of his peace agreements. What about debating for bills
and legislations to pass with Con-

gress? Has he ever done this before?
No!
I think that Jesse Jackson had
learned a lot from his 1984 campaign.
In 1984, Jackson was running as a
mad man and wanting revenge. I think
he has learned a lot from experience.
Now, in 1988, Jesse Jackson has
gained momentum and is finally getting respect horn his Democratic contenders. B ut this article failed to prove
that Jackson is most qualified and I
must disagree with him on that point.

To the Editor
This letter is in response to Ken
Kirsch' s article entitled "Critic 's life
ain 't easy" in the April 14 issue of The
Voice.
Nice letter , Ken. I' m sorry that you
took offense to me calling you on your
prediction .
As a way of making it up to you ,
I' ve decided to give you a few helpful
pointers for future reference should
you decide to pursue your esteemed
literary career outside of the confines
of Bicomsburg University:
Do no; try to invoke reader sympathy. A critic must be strong and walk
proud.
Although my friends and I got abig
kick out of learning about the chip on
my shoulder , in general , it is not a
good policy to criticize your readershi p. This is especially true if you
intend to use the same sharp insight
tha t you 've used when criticizing
bands.
Don 't judge how well a band will
fare by the personal dispositions of
the band members. The world of
superstardom is filled with humble
people and egomaniacs alike.
Keep your facts straight. When
someone reads false information , like
the kind which plagued your articles
last year, it tends to weaken your argument.
Be secure with your viewpoints. Do
not feel the need to respond to every
dissenting opinion.
You don 't think that Dave Marsh
and Lester Bangs sit around and mope

because some of their readers don 't
agree with them , do you?
Don 't underestimate your audience. The old adage "If you can 't
dazzle them with brilliance, then
baffle... "does not apply to critics. For
instance, having been a professional
musician for more than five years,
playing both '60s music and INXS,
and owning an extensive '60s collection , plus growing up in the '60s, I
know that INXS is neither "neo-psychedelic" nor a "60s revival clone."
So you can sleepat night , the reason
I didn 't respond to your prediction at
the time it printed is that I decided not
to encourage you any further. It
doesn't seem as though I was the only
person using this strategy. If I had
known that I was to be personally responsible for drawing you out of retirement, I clearly would have rethought the situation.
Lastly, Ken , I really don 't understand why you 're so sore about this
whole thing. I wasn't busting on you
per se. I' m the onl y reader who ever
acknowledged your existence. You
should be happy about that.
While this has all truly been great
fun , alas, I must turn my attention to
more important things. However, if
you feel the need to respond and tell
me more about movies I've never
seen, be my guest.
No hard feelings and good luck
with your future endeavors.

Hints for the
uptight critic

In good fun

Stude nts urged
to seek $1500
teachers award
Students with high scholastic qualifications in mathematics and the sciences are being encouraged to become teachers of those subjects
through the Scholars in Education
Award (SEA) program , according to
Thomas Lyons, director of financial
aid at Bloomsburg University.
The SEA program , created by the
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), is aimed
primarily at high school seniors, but
college students also may apply,
Lyons said. "It is intended to alleviate
the shortage of highly qualified , new
teachers in the mathematics and science fields," he said.
A SEA award at BU is for approximately $ 1,500 per academic year and
is renewable for each year of academic study as long as the recipien t
meets the renewal requirements,
Lyons noted.
To be eligible, a student must have

high grades, do well on the SAT or
ACT scores and have a personal
commitment to teach mathematics
or science at a Pennsylvania secondary school for each year of SEA
assistance received.
Lyons points out that if a student
fulfills the teaching commitment ,
the obligation to repay the SEA to
PHEAA is cancelled. However, if
the studentdoes not fulfill the teaching assignment, he or she must repay
the SEA plus interest to PHEAA.
For application form s and further
details, high school seniors should
sec their school guidance counselors, and students at BU should contact the office of the College of Professional Studies , McCormick
Human Services Center.
The deadline for returning completed applications to PHEAA for
the 1988-89 academic year is May 1,
1988.

Group 's founder
discusses asthma

The Department of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology and Pulmonology of
Geisinger Medical Center and Glaxo, Incorporated working in cooperation
with the American Lung Association of Central Pennsylvania will sponsor an
evening with Nancy Sander.
A nationally renowned speaker.the president and founder of MOTHERS
OF ASTHMATICS, INC., Sander's, the mother of an asthmatic child has
learned to cope with everyday challenges of raising a child with asthma.
During her talk, she will share with the audience her views on the aspects
of raising a child with asthma.
She will cover topics such as coping with food allergies, childrearing
implications and managing asthma at home and in school.
Sander's will draw upon her own experiences in raising a daughter, born
with severe allergies and asthma , although now relatively controlled , to help
other parents adjust to these problems.
Because studies have shown that Asthma is the most common chronic
respiratory disease in children 17 years of age and younger, and because it is
estimated that 2 million youngsters suffer from this disease, Geisinger
Medical Center, Glaxo, Incorporated and the American Lung Association of
Central Pennsylvania urge anyone who works with or who manages asthmatics children such as teachers, day care personnel,respiratory therapists, nurses

A South African-backed rebel
movement in Mozambique is waging
a reign of terror against unarmed civilians involving random and brutal
killings, slave labor, forced marches
and starvation, which may have
caused at least 100,000 deaths over
the last two years, according to a report to be released Wednesday by the
State Department.
The report, based on recent interviews with Mozambicans who fled
the conflict some arriving in refugee
camps emaciated and clad only in rags
or tree bark is the first systematic
effort to substantiate reports of atrocities by the Mozambique National
Resistance, or RENAMO, in its 10year effort to bring down the Marxist
government of Mozambique.
The refugees, who are among about
872,000 living outside their homeland, paint a picture of a guerrilla
group senselessly and systematically
slaughtering civilians without provocation and with no attempt to proselytize its aims among the population or
win their support, according to a copy
of the report obtained from congressional sources.
"It's in a category by itself. I've
never seen anything like it in Africa,"
said one senior State Departmentofficial. "The efficiency of the use of
people without regard to a political
program... .We had no idea it was this
bad."
Of 200 refugees interviewed, 170
had witnessed or knew of 600 persons, 50 of them children, killed by
RENAMO guerrillas, the report
stated. Based on this, "it is conservatively estimated that 100,000 civilians may have been murdered by
RENAMO," the report concluded.

Scholarships ranging from
S1500 to $2000 for 1988-89 are
available to dependents of honorably discharged American veterans and dependents of active
duty, guard or reserve military
personel.
Applicants must be age 22 or
younger as of July 1, 1988, a
minimum cumulative grade
point average of 3.0, sophomore
or junior standing and be enrolled full-time in an accredited
four-year institution of higher
education in the United States or
an accredited two-year program
leading to a four-year undergraduate degree.
Applications are available in
the Financial aid Office, 19 Ben
Franklin Hall. Deadline is July 1.

Her music touches many bases including her original material.
She performs popular songs by
well-known artists and several lesserknown selections by talented songwriters who have not yet reached national recognition.
In addition to performing overseas,
she has shared the stage with a number
of prominent entertainers including
Billy Crystal, Lee Greenwood, Gary
Morris and David Brenner.
She became better known after reIcasing four albums on Dakota Records and making commercials for

McDonald's and United Airlines.
In her first year of participation
with the National Association of
Campus Activities, Hutchison was
chosen to showcase at the 1983 national convention in Baltimore.
There she received more bookings
than any other musical act in any category, according to an association
spokesperson.
Hutchinson's increasing popularity
on college campuses has resulted in
her selection as the 1985,1986 and

Bloom players show dedication

by Bridget Sullivan
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg Players presented
a student production of Lorraine
Hansbcrry 's black cultura l drama , A
Raisin in the Sun , in McCormick
Forum April 15-17. Although written almost 30 years ago, this classic
play reveals many tnilhs about black
culture and the prejudices they faced
then , and which still apply today.
Excellent directing by Mimi Mikalac , a BU junior made this production a tremendous success in less than
three and one-half weeks.
The two and one-half hour long
show is about three generations of a
poor black famil y in 1950 Chicago - a
mother , her two children , her son 's
wife and their son all live in the same
house. The father died years earlier ,
and "Mama," who is a v ery Christian
woman , receives a SI0 ,000 check
from his insurance policy, and isn 't
sure what she should do witli the

money. Her son Waller Lee wantsto
open a liquor store witli two of his
buddies.
The play centers around Walter
Lcc, intensel y played by Andre '
Dion Wills , and his search for identity. Walter is in his 30s and has been
a chauffeur most of his life. He
dreams of what it would be like to be
rich - all the luxuries he could give
his family, like pearls for his wife
and a bed for his son to sleep in ,
instead of a couch. Walter is haunted
by the shadow of his father , who
"worked himself to death" for his
children.
Mama , brilliantl y - and there is no
other word for il - portrayed by
sophomore Paula Hcadcn , is the
mentor and head of the Younger
famil y. She uses some of the insurance money lo buy a house for ihc
family. The only problem is that
"there ain 't no colored people" in the
neighborhood where the house is.

Brcnda liozochovic
for The Voice
' Maybe it 's the strange hours
people keep, or maybe it comes from
life 's every day stresses, but for millions of people, insomnia is a problem.
Insomnia can have many causes.
For some people il is anxiety that
deters them from getting sleep. Also ,
depression causes many lo wakcup
loo early. Other causes arc a result of
general health problems , such as
some medications which disrupt
sleep habits.
Almost 20% of adults in this country suffer from chronic sleeplessness ,
according to a book published in
1984 by the American Medical Association. Twice as many women as
men arc affected , and incidence increases witli age.
"Everybody gets insomnia at least
onct a year, and on average about 10
times a year ," says Wesley Scidcl ,
head of Stanfo rd 's University 's
Center for Insomnia Research. Most
of these arc cases of passing insomnia , brought on by a brief illness ,
emotional changes or jet lag . In these
cases, sleep usually returns to normal
when the person 's life docs.
But for insomniacs, the solution
isn 't that simple. In order lo obtain
sleep, some insomniacs seek help at
sleep clinics.
Although the sleep program clinic
of the Good Samaritan Hospital in
Portland , Oregon offers a cheery
aunosphcrc, there is little laughter
among the patients.
They sit in the waiting room on the
border of despair, weakened and
feeling unprotected , sometimes a bit
embarrassed. They arc wired , questioned and recorded , and willing to
do just about anything for a proper
ni ght 's sleep.
Almost as worried are people with
sleep apnea, a cessation of breathing
that rouses mem frequentl y from
deep sleep.
Other sleep disorder patients include narcoleptics who may experience hallucinations j ust as they fal l
asleep at night , and they cannot keep
sleep from overstepping into tlicir
waking day.
Tlicir sudden attacks of sleep arc
usuall y triggered by excitement ,
emotion or stress—any disturbance,
pleasant or otherwise, can drop them
to the ground in a paral ysis lasting
from seconds to half an hour .
The diagnosis and treatment of a
sleep disorder requires a certain
undcraking of time on the part of the
patient.
Sleeping problems are best studied during sleep, and the clinic schedules some patients for a 24 hour period inside the laboratory. '
New patients are asked to keep a
diary for several days before tlicir ex-

amination , noting when and for how
long they sleep, and any related problems. They arc then interviewed for a
lengthy period of time by the clinic 's
director, and sometimes by the nurse
practioner , lo differentiate among the
possible syndromes.
Other patients arc then referred to
nose and throat specialists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, pulmonary medicine specialists , urologists
and gastrocntcrolog ists. Some patients arc then checked into the clinic ,
where their sleep for an entire night
and tlicir naps the following day arc
observed and measured. Every time
they dream or breathe or move an
eye, a pen m arks the action on a
graph.
The cost for a nig ht at the clinic is
about $1 ,200. Most insurance companies will cover at least the cost of
diagnosis for comp laints of daytime
sleepiness.
But depending on the company
and the state, other problems may not
be so easily reimbursed by insurance
companies. Insomnia , nightmares
and oilier comp laints arc often seen
as mild or psycholog ical in their origin and difficult to document.
The clinic has developed a lenient
policy for those patients who must
pay out of tlicir pockets. "We never
turn anyone away, "says Kathleen
Nicholas the clinic 's coordinator.
"They can pay us S10 a month if they
have to."
If sleeplessness continues for
weeks or months, going lo a physician may help determine the reasons
for it. But most of the time, you can
improve your sleep with a few techniques, and prevent the occasional
bout of insomnia from becoming a
chronis condition. Here arc some tips
to help you sleep better;
Don 't rely too often on sleeping
pills. Every year , six to nine million
Americans, many of them elderly,
take pills to fight insomnia. It 's important to try to stay away from
sleeping pills because they are addictive.
Anyone who wants a good night
sleep" should stop taking daytime
naps and avoid caffeine, nicotine,
heavy meals and strenuous exercise
for three to five hours before bedtime.
Get to bed at a regular time and try
to relax. Any relaxing act will do,
counting sheep, yoga, and deep
breathing.
Don 't look for help in the refri gerator, unless you are hungry. Some
people believe a hi gh carbohydrate
meal promotes sleep and a high protein meal promotes alertness, but no
controlled studies have confirmed
this.
Reserve your bed for sleeping. Do
your worrying in some other place, at
some other time.

by Samuel A. Red
for The Voice
Someone once likened a teacher to
a gentle breeze at spring time which
moves through the woods while fluttering the branches and stimulating
new growth and then moving on:
leaving no trace of its having been
there.
I feel this is what has happened
when I enrolled in ihc newly offered
class, Chinese I. I' ve experienced an
attitude change in myself concerning
languages. I used to fear them ; now I
am anxious to attend the next class.
I am also able lo maintain a semestcr-long interest in the subject because of an intermingling of language studies with the added spice of
cultural information.
One only has to look at the local
newspapers and watch the news on
TV to determine that our federal
government is also realizing the new
opportunities afforded us by expanding our knowledge and interaction
with the beautiful countries of the
East.
Starting with Nixon we've been
trying to open more trade with China.
Many major blue chip companies are
moving in an Easterly direction with
trade and investments. Only those
business majors with enough foresight will be able to step into exciting
and valued jobs like these.
Sociology and psychology majors
would do well to have some Eastern
cultural background because our in-

teracting socially is becoming more
and more a pleasant everyday experience. We could only improve ourselves as a country and culture to
watch and learn how Easterners are
strongly unified through the strength
of their family units. (The achievement of their children with the love
and encouragement of their parents
should give us pause to watch and
learn.)
Those people who love art, like
myself , would find that they as artists
would develop ten fold with a true
and honest understanding of the
Eastern concept and approach to art.
Business majors—what can I say
that our own State Dcpartmenthasn't
already said?
Finally I would like to address all
students who have a foreign language requirement in their major. I
can do this best by using myself as an
example.
My aptitude for studying foreign
language is probably the least of my
skills as a student. I've always had
the fear of studying foreign languages. At Bloomsburg in the fall—
Chinese I and Chinese II will be offered. They are conversational in
nature.

Show provides variety of talent

by Lisa Cellini
News Editor
Great artists have always been
ignored.
People laud them when they 're
beyond praise because they "contributed something to the human
spirit." It's a pity that people don't
fully enjoy the gifts that artists of
drama, paint, comedy, and music
share freely while they are alive.
Universities plant the seeds of
such greatness , and here at
Bloomsburg University, contemporary talent evinced itself at the first
Variety Show, held in Carver Hall
on April 13.
Sponsored by the BU Concert
Choir to help fund their Canadian
tour, the show included acts ranging
from slapstick Vaudeville humor to
the parody of a classical play, and
from love ballads to gospel songs.
The show featured the sign-song
performers of IMAGE, the BU
Players, Concert Choir members
and the Gospel Choir, and was interspersed by satirical "commercials".
These included such memorable advertisements as "I Wish I Were an
Oscar Meyer Wiener" and "The
Clapper", which provided comy,
but comic, relief.
But comic relief from what , pray
tell? The "15-Minute Hamlet", presented by the Players and directed

The Gospel Choir, directed by
Gerald Blanchard , sang rich , deep,
melodious chords that only the resonant Carver auditorium could
properly enhance. Later, a gospel
group quartet called Trinity sang
"Jesus Christ is the Way". The audience, sparse though it was, clapped in
time with the music.
Separate acts, including Paul
"Rasta" Hayward and a high-school

doctor, realistically played by
Michelle Young. Young is also a
rookie on the stage, but you couldn't
tell by her energetic performance.
The older Youngers are all very adamant about their views, and Beneatha
is no exception.
She doesn't believe in God and
makes the mistake of proclaiming
these views in front of her devout
Christian mother.
Beneatha comes to "hate assimilationist people"who give up their own
culture and allow themselves to be
submerged in another - and in this
case, "oppressive culture," referring
to black people who allow the white
culture to take over their lives.
Beneatha gets this view from one
of her boyfriends, Joseph Asagai,
who is from Africa. He tries to show
Beneatha her cultural heritage, and
wants to marry her and take her back
to Nigeria with him.
James
Barksdale, Jr. plays Asagai. At times
his "African accent" seems a bit burdensome to both himself and the
audience.
Beneatha's other beau is from a
rich, colored famil y. And , as
Beneatha says, "The only thing
worse than rich white people is rich
colored people."
George Murchinson is also a college student who "reads books to
learn, take tests, pass the course, and
get a degree." His cocky attitude and
image-consciousness still apply today, and Gentry Brownie did a wonderful job with his character, especially considering the fact that he
joined the company about a week
ago.
Rodney Hinton, also in his first
theatre production , plays Walter
Lee's friend Bobo who was in on the
liquor store deal with him, and must
break the news that their cohort,
Willy Harris (who is often talked
about but never seen), has run off
with Walter's money as well as
Bobo's life savings. Hinton performs
the part well.
At this point, Walter is a broken
man. Because he realizes that
"money is everything." He decides
that the family should accept
Linder's offer, and calls him. In a
heated and brilliant confrontation
between Walter and Mama, she explains how five generations of her
family "who was slaves and sharecroppers - but ain't nobody in my
family never took no money from
nobody that was a way of telling us
we wasn't fit to walk the earth. We
ain't never been that poor - that dead
inside."

When Linder arrives, Mama stops
Ruth from sending 12-year old
Travis downstairs. She wants him to
see this. She wants her son to show
his son "where our five generations
done come to."Linder is preoccupied
with filling out paperwork, as he is
under the impression that the
Youngers have accepted his offer.
Walter starts out explaining how "my
family is plain people," and how they
have had to work most of their lives.
Linder 's continued indifference
sparks something in Walter that helps
him to overcome his own humiliation, too. With fire in his eyes and in
his voice, he tells Linder the story of
his father who almost "beat a man to
death for calling him a bad name."
A confused Linder says he doesn 't
understand, and Walter goes on to
explain , more calmly now , but with
just as much conviction , that his
family also has a lot of pride.
"We are a proud people...(and) we
have decided to move into our house
- because my father - my father - he
earned it for us, brick by brick."
Linder, in an even more confused
state, leaves saying, "I hope you
people know what you 're getting
into." The rest of the family, excited
to be leaving "this place," decide to
help the moving men who have already arrived.
Momentarily alone with Ruth,
Mama says of her son, "He finally
come to manhood today, didn 't he?

Philadelphia sports : Constant
success and a promising future

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

Wake up and NAILS IN THE COFFIN:
Some statistical evidence to support the basic
smell the soft theory that Philadelphia professional sports teams
are in a comatose state:
pretzels
Editors Note: This is a special
guestcommentarythat is appearing
in my column this week.
The reason I am doing this is due
to the fact that in the three days
since the publicatio n of my columnm titled "Philadelphia sports:
The end of an era," many people
have accosted me and lent their
opinion on the subject of Philadelphia sports.
Although 1amastaunchfa nojthe
Philly teams, I thought my column
was both fair and factua l.
I will reserve a perso nal defense
of my opinions and attitudes about
the situation in Philadelphia until
Monday 's issue.
Until at such time I can defend
myself, I submit as ExibitA, thefollowing article that came across the
national wire exactly one day after
I authored mine.
-Mike Mullen
Ralph Bernstein
Associated Press
Sports Writer
For Philadelphia sports fans, it
isn't Paris in the springtime.
The Philadelphia Flyers are out of
the NHL Playoffs.
The Philadelphia Phillies lost
seven straight games.
The Philadelphia 76ers are about
to miss the NBA playoffs for the
first time in 14 years.
With this town's luck , the Philadelphia Eagles probably will catch a
cold in Sunday's NFL player draft.
And the Atlanta Braves wereconcerned over a measly 10-game losing streak.
The Baltimore Orioles should
celebrate if they set an American
League record for games lost from
the start of the season.
Philadelphia fans are so discombobulated they don't know which
funeral to attend first
Remember, this is a town in
which the Phillies won the World
Series in 1980; the Eagles played in
Super Bowl XV the same year; the
Phillies won the NL pennant in
1983; and the 76ers took the NBA
title the same year.
This is the town Bill Giles promised the team of the 80's, when he
organized the group that bought the
Phillies in 1981.
This is the town Buddy Ryan
promised the NFL playoffs in his
first season, 1986.
This is the town the Flyers took
within one game of the Stanley Cup
championship last year.
This is the town of Bobby Clarke
and Bernie Parent,Wilt Chamberhn
and Julius Erving, Mike Schmidt
and Robin Roberts, Norm Van
Brocklin and Tommy McDonald.
Hey,whatgoes? That's what callers to local radio talk-show hosts
Howard Eskin and Steve Frederick
want to know.
They have the telephone lines to
the shows ringing busy with ideas
about the Phillies, Manager Lee
£lia and pitcher Shane Rawley,
treating listeners to such options' as:
"Yo Howard, the Phillies lack
fire. There's something missing."
"Yo, they ought to dump that bum
Elia."
"Hey, Schmidt'shad it.SendVon
Hayes back to the American
League."
"Rawley couldn 't pitch his way
out of a paper bag."
They have opinions on the Flyers,
goalie Ron Hextall's problems in
the playoffs , general manager
Clarke and former defenseman
Brad McCrimmon:
"Yo Steve,Hextall's aflash in the
pan. Tell Clarke he blew it when he
traded McCrimmon."
Eagles coach Ryan and the 76ers,
with owner Harold Katz, star Charles Barkley and Coach Jim Lynam ,
and others also are popular topics:
"Ryan couldn * t coach his way out
of a paper bag."
"Tell Katz to sell the club. How

After my eyes rcfocused from the
blurry pictures in the last sports section , they fell upon "From the Locker
Room ." After reading the headline,
"Philadel phia sports: The end of an
era", my anger began.
I gave little Mike the benefit of the
doubt and read through the article.
After 1 was finished I didn 't know
whether to laugh or track Mullen
down and do him bodily harm as any
good Philadelphian would do after
reading such a brutal verbal assult.
To clear the air — I'll title my article, "Philadelphia sports: constant
success and a promising future."
Let 's start with the Flyers. This year
they were knocked out of the playoffs,
but names like Brown , Tockct,
Poulin , Hextall and Zezel are just
reaching their playing potential.
The Fl yers as a team were probably
one of the most dominant teams of the
1980s, second to the Oilers. And with
most of the team hurt the last several
months of the season, the Flyers did as
well as they physicall y could in the
playoffs this year. Watch the Flyers
next year!
Mr . Mullen said it himself , "The
Sixers didn 't qualify for the playoffs
for the firs t time in 12 years." The last

way to the finals last year

Penn, and St. Joes. All are top quality
programs which provide the city with
top notch basketball action.
So, I guess the only way to know
Philadelphia sports is to experience
them. So, Mike, if I could pull you out
of your Lehigh Valley surroundings
and invite you to go to the Spectrum or
the Palestra or Vet's Stadium with me,
it'll be great. We'll have a soft pretzel
with mustard .some hoagies and
maybe a brew of two( oh, that's right ,
you're not twenty-one, a beer and a
coke, please). Yell at the refs and boo
when the players mess up, but don 't
forget the standing ovation when they
do something right.
The City of Champions is not dead,
just rebuilding and not losing much
ground in the process. _, , _ , .,
Bob Bailey
WBUQ Sports Director

time they missed tbe playoffs, Mr.
Mullen was still eating paste in third
grade. This year the Sixers had to rely
on the strength of Charles Barkley,
with the front office looking to the
future and acquiring some new faces.
With all the trades they really had no
time to develop that team chemistry.
Watch the Sixers next year!
Now lets move across Patterson
Avenue to Veteran 's Stadium where
the Eagles play. The Eagles are missing Ron Jaworski , and Wilbur
Montgomery and Harold Carmichael.
But have just as good and maybe better players like Randall Cunningham ,
Keith Byars, and Mike Quick as well
as a rougher version of Dick Vermille
in Buddy Ryan.Watch the Eagles next
season!
Now the Phillies , Schmit 's still
there as are Hayes, Samwell, James,
Thomas, Gross, and all under the assertive leadership of a new manager.
Every year the Phill y 's are right in the
thick of it and the right m ix of vercrans
and younger players should take them
far. Contrary to popular belief they
haven 't taken the summer off .silly
Mike.
I also think Mike, forget college
hoops; Villanova , Temple, LaSalle,

HVNSJNGER ON SPORTS

Pittsburgh
gets a chance
to smirk
Troy Hunsingcr
Staff Writer

Yo! What 's wrong in
Philly ? I don 't know, but I love
it.
About four years ago the
same question was being asked,
onl y not in Philadelphia , but '
about Pittsburgh.
Since that time, Pittsburgh
teams have slowly been gaining
ground on their rivals from the
cast and have been earning the
respect of the other teams ever
since.
Needless to say I am a Pittsburgh fan .
The Pittsburgh Penguins
did not have near the season that
the Flyers had , but did manage
to improve quite a bit since last
year.
And that is the point at
hand: Improvement!
This past year the Penguins
ended up in fourth instead of
sixth (last), like the year before.
Major Penguin improvement can be attributed to Mario
Lcmioux , one ot the National
Hockey League's best players,
for scoring the most goals this
year.
The S tcelcrs, did not have a
great season cither. While the
Eagle had a 7-8 record, the
Steelers had an 8-7 record. Although the difference is only
one game, the Steelers can at
least boast a winning record.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, on
the other hand , have a totally
different story.
They have definitely improved since last year when they
managed to tie the Phillies for
last place in their division.
B ut th i s year they are off to
one of the best starts in their history. The Pirates lead their division with a 9-3 record .
While the Phillies (5-8) are
four and a half games out. The
Pirates success has been due to a
joint effort from the team.
Names such as Bonds, Bream,
Bonilla , and Van Slyke have become household names in Pittsburgh.
I am not writing this to put
down Philadel phia teams but to
point out that the same thing
happenning now to Philadelphia , happened to the Pittsburgh
teams not to long ago.
Now it's Philadelphia 's
turn to carry the burden of trying
to turn things around, and I'm
sure they will.

Bloomsburg University left a pair
of Pennsylvania Conference Eastern
Division games get away as the Huskies dropped a twinbill to Millersvilleon Tuesday. The Huskies lost
both of the games by a one-run margin.
In the first game, Bloomsburg fell
behind early 5-1 mostly because

Huskies starting pitcher J.P. Thomas
was working with only two days' rest
and was not very effective against the
Millersville lineup.
He gave up single runs in the first
and third innings and then in the
fourth, with two outs, gave up a single
to Ernie McCooy. After walking the

while Millersville improved to 15-8
and 6-6.
The Huskies travel to Wilkes College for a single game today.

Unfortunately for the Huskies, play
was not exceptional,and with the goal
of an undefeated season still a possibility, one doesn't want to look past
any teams to the next game.
"Our team played a very uneven
game," Acierno said. "If we were to
play that kind of game this coming
Saturday against Millersville, they
will kill us!"
Acierno seemed to have an explanation for the teams level of intensity
against Juniata.
"In the past it seems that we play to
the level of the team that we are playing against at the time," he said.
"There is no doubt that if we play to
our potential against Millersville this
Saturday, we should beat them," he
concluded.
With the victory, Bloomsburg puts
their season record at a lofty 8-0.
They have already set a season
record for victories with three games
still remaining, but according to
caoch Acierno, the ultimate goal is
still in sight, an undefeated season.
The Huskies will play their last
home game this Saturday against
Millersvill with the game beginning at
1:30.

Correction

In the Monday, April 18 edition of
The Voice, their was an error in the
name of the trophy that was won by
the badminton team.
It should have been called the
"Keystone-Empire Trophy."
The Voice regrets this error.
