Widow of State Treasurer R. Bud
Dwycr said last night that talking
about the issue of suicide helps her
accept the loss of her husband.
Mrs. R. Bud Dwyer said, "There
are two reasons for my speaking
about what happened. First I' m surviving a personal 'tragedy and it helps
me feel stronger—secondly, if my
speaking on the subject will prevent
one person from suicide it will be
worth it."
Mrs. Dwyer spoke last night at the
Bloomsburg High School for the
Mental Health Association of Columbia-Montour County.
She addressed The Impact of Suicide on the Family. This was the second such speech she has given since
her husband's public suicide in early
1987.
Dwyer said "I was scared to give
the first speech and almost couldn 't
do it, the second time is hard also."
She announced her plans to move to
Arizona and hoped that her speaking
would "give someone the incentive to

take over what I' ve started".
Dwyer's message was that suicide
is not the answer because of the burden it leaves behind on the family,
community, and colleagues.
She said "suicide is not the answer
because it is like tossing a pebble in
water.
"The number of lives the person
touched moves out like rings resulting from the pebble's striking the
water and although suicide is a immediate answer to someone's problems
they will never know the number of
lives they affected and the amount of
pain they left behind.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I
think I would have to deal with suicide in my life," Dwyer said.
"At first I could not accept that I
was a widow and that my children
were fatherless . The first few weeks
were hectic. I spoke at two services
because I felt I had to speak for Bud.
People asked me how I did it and I
don 't know. The initial impact was
fear , rage, and disbelief ," Dwyer
commented.
Dwyer spoke of a support system

Soviets do not plan to arm Afghans
by David B. Ottaway

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

A senior adviser on Afghanistan for
Soviet leader MikhaiWj orbachev told
a group of Western correspondents
Thursday that the Soviet Union is not
planning to provide more arms to the
Afghan government after its troops
withdraw, and he urged the United
States to follow suit.
"We don 't need to supply,"
Evgeny Primakov said.
"We aren't going to supply if the
Americans aren 't going to supply.

But we're not going to restrict our
relations with the Afghan governmental," Primakov said.
Later, Primakov warned the United
States against pressing Pakistan to
violate the Soviet withdrawal accords
signed in Geneva last week by insisting that American arms continue to
flow through its territory.
Speaking at a conference of Afghan, American and Soviet scholars
and officials , Primakov said there is
"a serious danger" that Pakistan
would "explode" the accords as a

result of U.S. pressure to keep military supplies flowing to the Afg han
resistance.
He called upon the United States
and other signatories of the accords,
particularly Pakistan, to work together to preserve the terms of the
agreement and thus prevent a worsening of the civil war here.
His remarks made clear that the
Soviets are concerned about the implications of the United States insistence on the right to continue providing arms to the rebel alliance based in

Peshawar, Pakistan.
Primakov, who has served as an adviser to Gorbachev on regional conflicts in negotiations with the United
States, appeared to be answering a
call by Secretary of State George P.
Shultz - made at the signing of the
Geneva accords April 14 - for restraint by both superpowers on the
delivery of more arms to their allies in
the civil war.
Both sides are now mounting major
resupply efforts to their allies before
the accords go into effect

Bakker s proposal no longer appeared to be viable.
They noted that Bakker had not
been able to guarantee that he had
sufficient financing for the project.
In a telephone interview from his
home in Palm Desert, Calif., Bakker
insisted that "financing is not a problem."
However, he declined to elaborate
on arrangments for the financing.
Bakker said that "several weeks
ago," he told city officials that he had
the formal plans in hand and wanted
to present them to the planning commission.
The officials declined to accept the
plan, Bakker said, until he could
prove he was prepared to buy the
property for the complex.
"We arejust not going to move rapidly on a project of that size," Bakker
said, adding that his timetable had
been pushed back by a host of unforseen problems.
Among them was that the owner,
Harold McNaughton , of Indian
Wells, was under pressure "to sell his
property" and had begun entertaining
offers from other developers, Bakker
said.
"If this property goes I hope to find
another in Coachella," Bakker said of

the parcel that has been on the market
for $10 million.
Bakker also said that there were
serious "access problems" with the
property that would may require construction of costly bridges and roads,
as well as engineering studies.
He also said that an earthquake
fault runs beneath the property.
"I'd be a fool to buy property that
there is no access to,"Bakker said. "If
you are going to build a 1,000-room
hotel you want to make sure it is not
on a fault." McNaughton could not be
reached for comment.
But Salas said, "McNaughton has
approached us and said he has other
people interested in buying the property."
Salas said these developers also
"want to build a $2 billion project of
golf courses, polo grounds, condos
and shopping centers - but with no religious connotation whatsoever."
Amid his problems in Coachella,
Bakker has turned his attention toward a renewed effort to return to the
PTL-HeritageUSA ministry near Ft.
Mill, S.C. He resigned from PTL a
year ago after acknowledging that he

had sex with with aLong Island,N.Y.,
woman, Jessica Hahn, in 1980, and
then paid her money to keep it quiet
He later lost his minister's credentials
from the Assemblies of God.
Last week, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Rufus Reynolds ordered PTL to begin
planning its own liquidation to repay
creditors owed more than $60 million.
On Tuesday, Bakker and his wife,
TammyFae, sent a letter to PTL trustee David Clark in which they pleaded
for permission to return to the ministry to try and raise enough funds to
stave off liquidation.
"I am begging them to let us return," Bakker said in the telephone
interview. "Ninety days is all we are
asking for. If we can't do it, we will
walk off into the sunset and never
return."
At a press conference, Clark responded to the request by saying the
chances of Bakker returning to PTL
were "absolutely nil."
Meanwhile, the Bakkers are awaiting
the results of a federal grand jury
reviewing evidence of possible tax
evasion and fraud.

Bakker unable to meet religious plans

by Louis Sahagun

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

City officials in Coachella, Calif.,
said Thursday that defrocked evangelist Jim Bakker had been unable to
fulfill his plans and timetable for
developing a $2 billion religious
theme park in the California desert.
In February, Bakker proposed
building a 1,600-acre complex of
condominiums, hotels and shopping
centers, to be called Heritage Springs
International, within the city limits of
Coachella, 125 miles southeast of Los
Angeles. He also promised to return
in one month with formal architectural plans.
At the time, Coachella Mayor
Frank Duran compared Bakker's offer to the town's "winning the lottery." But on Thursday, Duran said,
"He never came back to us with the
plans ... it doesn't look as good as it
used to."
Councilman Larry Salas added,
"As far as Coachella is concerned,
Bakker is out. We have to look at
corporate credibility and legitimacy
here."
In addition, city officials who asked
that their names not be used, said that
the City Council was informed in
closed session last week that

which was important to her in recovering from her husband's death and
necessary for those trying to survive.
"Many people have come to me
since and said that they would have
been there for me but were not because they didn 't know what to say or
do. I urge all of you never to turn away
from others in need. All you need to
do is call or write and ask if there is
anything you can do," Dwyer said.
She commented her family received over 5000 pieces of mail after
the suicide. The third letter she
opened was from a taxpayer that said
he was glad her husband was dead.
Her son, Rob,22, opened the rest of
the letters and said only three others
were negative.
She appreciated the support which
came from neighbors in Hershey and
Meadville.
Support also came from her late
husband's colleagues and members
of the House and Senate.
'The outpouring of love we received from the community strengthened my love for humanity." Dwyer
said.
Dwyer talked about the idea of guilt
involved with her family. "Some
neonle asked me that if I had a 23-

year-marnage, why didn t I know
there was a problem. Everything Bud
led us to believe was that his suicide
was due to his upcoming sentence.
We asked ourselves why us and the
answer always came up why not us.
None of us know true happiness until
tragedy strikes," she said.
Dwyer said, "We learned we are
capable of tears and memories trigger
them sometimes. We had regrets like
why wasn't I nicer that day and things
like that. Regrets are in the past and
you cannot change that.
"As a family we take one day at a
time. When you can put two or three
days together and all of them are good
days then you can tell you 're making
progress."
Dwyer said that there is no way to
prepare for grief but awareness helps.
Her mother's acceptance of her
father's death several months before
the suicide provided her personal
strength. "Watching her grief phases
and listening to her say that Dad
would have wanted her to go on with
her life helped me adjust."
In his letter to me before his suicide Bud told me I was strong and
could go on. I didn 't see myself as
strong at the time but I have to because
I want to survive...the bottom line is if
you know anyone who is depressed
help is near but we need more caring
and concerned individuals. If my
family can survive so can you."
Dwyer stated that her husband's
suicide was different than others because "of his office and its visibility.
His action was statement of right and
wrong and there was apurposebehind
it My heart aches for people who
have no explanation for the suicide of
someone in their life."
"There are legal implications involved and in his letter to me, Bud
asked me to clear his name. The
media helped destroy my husband

Society inducts
30 members

Kappa Delta Pi, an Honor Society
in Education , inducted 30 new members on Thursday, April 13 in the
Presidents' Lounge of the Kehr Union Building.
An invitation to the society is extended to those who have a high academic achievement, a committment
to education as a career, and a professional attitude which assures the
member's steady growth in the field
of education.
Dr. William S. O'Bruba, Chairman
of the Curriculum and Foundations
Department, spoke at the ceremony.
He focused on the topic of "Having an
Impact."

Following the initiation ritual, certificates were presented to the following BU students: Donna Ackerman,
Kim Barnes, Rebekah Brock, Lynn
Cheddar , Sue Hardman , Sally
Gottshall, Karen Gow, Michaline
Grzymsky, Sherry Hoover, Cindy
Hurst, Nancylee Lewis, Beth Lugg,
Denise Lutz, Joann Luzenski, Diane
Myers, Lisa Nicolazzo, Karen Paster,
Lisa Pfirman , Dianna Cherie Plafcan ,
Mary Shade, Deborah Brady Snyder,
Bonnie Schneck, Ann Sheehan, William Sheely, Lisa Jo Sink, John
Stephens, Lou Jo Teichman, Korene
Wile, Carla Williams, Holly Zimmerman.

and his mqtive was to leave a message. Bud's tragic public action was a
plea for reform.
"We are working on a appeal of the
charges against Bud and we hope that
someday the people involved will tell
the truth.
"The appeal should find that he was
not guilty. Someday his name will be
cleared.
"Bud didn't realize the full impact
his death had oi? us. Our lives revolved around him. There will always
be a void in our hearts and our lives
will never be the same. He will never
see his children graduate college or
his grandchildren. I feel fortunate for
23 years of marriage and he left me
with the mostprecious thing of all, my
two children and a will to carry on,"
Dwyer said.
When asked if she thought about
filling her husband's office following
his death she replied "the more I got
involved in it and realized it wasn 't
best for constituents and I had other
priorities and decided it was best for
someone else to take his place."
As far as her current political involvement, Dwyer said she is working for abolishing plea bargaining as
she feels it is an invitation to perjury
especially when it uses the testimony
of convicted people to obtain a conviction.
Her husband was convicted from
the testimony of two people who were
convicted on other charges and she
feels that is a wrong which cannot be
corrected.
The family of Mary Jane Fulton
attended the program with four of her
five children.
Fulton's husband committed suicide on March 13,1987.
She described his situation as losing his hospital job which he held for
17 years because of politics.
After two months of being jobless
he gave her a check for a large amount
of money and later that day hung
himself in their hasemenL

Fulton described the family reaction as shock.
Her husband left no note and although he showed signs of depression
"He wasn't the type who would
commit suicide. Our 10-year-old
daughter says that her father killed
himself. I tell her that's right, he did
kill himself and we did not cause it."
Fulton said.
The Fulton's lived in Boston at the
time and decided they couldn't stay in
the house and sold it to relocate in
Berwick.
"I hope I did the right thing in
moving. I see some positive changes
and some negative ones," Fulton
commented.
"My good friend in Berwick have
helped greatly. People around here
don't seek mental health help. My
next step is to get the children set into
the right directions in life. We came
here tonight for the children and I
hope that if anyone out there who is
thinking about suicide reads this that
they reconsider their problems and
seek help," Fulton said.

A college education, will
not get you everything

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
A funny thing happened on the way
to the S.P.C.A. Well , actually, it happened while we were there, and quite
frankl y, it wasn't too funny.
A group of us went to the shelter to
adopt a cat for a friend who, I might
add , is a Bloomsburg resident. Keep
this in mind because it will be important later.
The cages where full of puppies ,
kittens, dogs and cats. We were all a
bit sobered by it all. Wc realized some
of these animals would never have
their own home equi pped with litter
pan and such.
Our sadness was soon changed to
excitement. Wc found the kitten wc
wanted. She was a skinny little thing
with bright green eyes and coal black
fur. Wc knew she would make a great
companion for our friend and , more
importantly, she would be given a
good home.
Where do wc sign , wc asked ,
anxious to take the littl e creature

home. But our question was met with
a question. A shocking one at that.
"Are you kids college students ,"
one of the shelter employees asked?
We said we were and a heavy silence filled the room. The kitten
started to claw at me. She was not
happy. Neither were we.
"Well, you can 't have the cat ,
then ," he continued. "We don 't adopt
to college students."
Wc told the man that the cat was a
present for our friend who lived in
Bloomsburg. In addition , one- of the
members of our group was also a
permanent resident of the area. He
told the man that he is a commuter
student and lives at home.
"Don 't matter," he snearcd. "Wc
don 't care where you live. If you 're a
college student, you can 't have one."
Humiliation set in. Wc were being
discriminated against because wc
were college students. The folks at the
shelter thought the kitten would be
safer locked in a cold room surrounded by glass than with us.

I BEEM ttlOECKEPf /

Trying to rationalize the situation ,
we figured that they don 't let students
adopt pets because they may abandon
them at the end of the semester.
Chances are, they might end up right
back where they started , or worse.
But this logic didn 't stick when our
situation was applied. We told him it
was for a friend. A college professor
with a permanent address in town. Wc
also had someone with us who has a
permanent address in the area.
Wc tried to argue but were defeated. The skinny kitten was put
behind glass and wc made our unhappy exit.
Wc thought wc had everything wc
needed to adopt a pet: money, a large
cardboard box with air holes and
shredded newspaper, and good intentions.
Wc had never guessed that the education that wc were working so hard
for, and paying so much for, would
hold us back from obtaining what 1
believe is a basic right for everyone: A
new friend.

It s not enough, Mr. Ex-President
a crazy lady in my middle age, one of
an ever-diminishing band of people
still yelling at the television set:
"What about Watergate?" "What
about napalm?"
At other times I wonder if that
would be better or worse than becoming one of those evenhanded people
who say, "To be fair, wemust balance
the Watergate break-in and the China
breakthrough, must balance naplm
and Saran Wrap."
Do I want my moral compass to
become a clock, so that wrongs are
diminished with time? If not, do I
want to be tied to a clock that stopped?
Do 1, do any of us, know when and
whether to let go of past wrongs?
Most of us have faced dilemmas
like these, even in everyday life. I
have been a witness to marriages
where one partner did in the other on
the way out the door. His or her behavior was "unforgivable." We all
said no. Yet almost all were at some
time, to some degree, forgiven .
Indeed, the partner who remains
publicly wronged, timelessly bitter, is
almost inevitably criticized because
he or she hasn 't, we all agree, "moved
on."
When are we supposed to move on
and when are we supposed to stand

detailing my exploits as a hero in the
French Foreign Legion.
I don 't think that 's what 's bothering me, though. I suspect that the
underlying reason for my apprehension concerning the reunion is that
deep down , I'm worried I'll get there
and find out all my old friends have
married movie stars, had eight kids,
made their first million in the gold
market, live in houses too big for the
human mind to comprehend , and are
perfectly capable of writing sentences
that do not take up entire paragraphs.
This fear is allayed by the thought
that everyone else is probably where I
am , success-or-lack-thereof-wise,
and are having the same self-doubts
right about now. So what if I don 't
have enough money to buy cat food ,
I'm probably not any worse off than
most of my classmates. I've got the
best collection of l/35th scale model
tanks this side of Danville!
Just the same, I think I'll give Renta-Family a call and see if Lola LaScandal is free that weekend.
Perhaps I am worried about how the
others will perceive me, compared to
what I was like in 1978. I've been
through a lot since then , been bounced

around the world, met a lot of people
whose names I'll never remember.
Yes, I've written a few articles in my
time.
I've learned a lot in those last ten
years, too. I discovered that the universe does not revolve around me, and
that it will continue without pausing
when I'm gone.
I've learned that I am happiest
when I direct my jhoughts and actions
away from myself and dedicate my
life for the benefit of others.
Most important of all, I've learned
that you should never try to make
tapioca from scratch. It makes a real
mess of the pans and it 's cheaper to
just buy the little tins.
I will try to have a good time at the
reunion , despite my reservations. It
will be a good opportunity for me to
look back and see how much I've
grown from those years of constant
peer pressure and maintenance of
self-image.
Hey Bob, great to see you again!
Haven 't seen you since '79. Yeah,
I' m a big drug lord now. Got my own
Central American country. Have you
met my two lovely children, Igor and
Attila?"

so rude as to actually take these things
so no one else can use them.
For example, Saturday I went to the
library to do some research. I spent a
half hour looking over the business
index and discovered that many of the
information I needed could be found
in Advertising Age. I went upstairs,
and much to my disbelief , most of the
issues of this magazine were missing.
I wonder who would have taken
them?
Another example of this is when
people sign out every book on a certain topic and keep them out forever,
knowing that others need that same
information. Or worse yet, steal the
books and never return them.
Still another example is the old rip-

out-and-run sydrome. This is when
someone finds an article that they
need and, instead of photocopying it,
just rip it out and take it.
I'll tell you, it's fun to spend a
couple of hours in the library trying to
find information and come up with
none because somebody was inconsiderate. Yeah, it's a good time!
I think that everyone would agree
that our library is lacking as it is, and
it doesn 't help one bit when others
take it upon themselves to deplete the
limited supplies even furtherby stealing it.
You know who you are. Please give
me a break.
I know who
you are, too

You know who you are...

To the Editor
So many things on this campus add
to my stress level. The major construction , the fact that the Information
desk's phone is always busy when
you try to call, the way the library
closes at 10 p.m. on Sundays, etc., etc.
But the thing that really, truly annoys
me to death is when I go to do research
in the library and the materials I need
are no where to be found.
It's beyond me how some students
— people who are in the same situation as I am , try ing to get research
papers, articles and debates finished
for the end of the semester — can be

sentry, witness to personal and public
history?
The classic moral example — too
uniquely evil to have wider meaning
— is the Holocaust. Our fear of forgetting is such that we put up memorials and are appalled if the swastiks
reappears as some pop emblem. Yet
even here, we except the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to be allies with the grandchildren of Nazis.
Times change. People change. The
person who carried the candle of a
cause for one generation can be disparaged by the next for carrying a
grudge. The '60s still argue about
"Hanoi Jane" Fonda, while the '80s
identify her as the star of an exercise
tape. There comes a generation that
knows not Sacco and Vanzetti , Joe
McCarthy and then Watergate. Some
42 million Americans have been bom
since Richard Nixon was forced to
resign from office.
Underlying much of the resistance
against rehabilitation , against forgiving, is the fear that our old enemy, the
old wrong-doer will be able to claim
victory after all, simply by outliving
the rage. He or she will have gotten
away with it, whether the "it" is a
personal or public wrong. Our memories are short, our sense of history is

slight, the infamous and famous alike
get homogenized into that morally
neutral category called "Celebrity."
But it seems to me there is a criteria,
though imperfect, for rehabilitation.
It's something quite old-fashioned
that I would call confession or repentance.
An admission of guilt, an expression of sorrow may be a better standard by which to judge a friend or
corporation or an ex-President than
mere time or punishment. Without
repentance, a new image may be nothing more than a P.R. job to whitewash
the past. Without repentance, forgiving can mean forgetting. This can
whitewash the past, prove that what
happened wasn 't so bad if it wasn't
worth remembering.
I am not one of those people who
measure cardiovascular health by
how fast their pulse returns to normal
when Richard Nixon appears on a
television screen. But how does he
describe his attack on the
Constitution that we call Watergate?
"Apart from the fact that it was
wrong, it was stupid..."
That is just not enough. Not enough
to buy my vote for admission into the
circle of elder statesmen. Not enough,
Mr. Ex-President.

Alcohol and drug
task force to be
formed at BU

In response to nationwide concern
about drugs and alcohol problems on
college and university campuses,
Bloomsburg University President
Harry Aursprich has asked Student
Life Vice President Jerrold Griffis to
form a university-wide Drug and
Alcohol Task Force.
Griffis said the university has this
year reemphasized a number of commitments concerning drugs and alcohol by increasing educational programs, intensifying disciplinary
emphasis, adding staff to work more
closely with social student organizations"and , generally, increasing our
overall efforts, and "a task force
should help the momentum to continue in a positive way."
Griffis pointed out that like many
colleges, BU has had some problems,
particularl y with alcohol in regards to
underage drinking.

He noted national statistics reveal
that while 35 percent of adults do not
drink alcohol , 80 percent of collegeage students say they have used alcohol in the last 30 days.
Griffis noted tha t the death of basketball star Len Bias last year focused
attention on the drug situation like no
other event could have done.
Griffis said major task forc e efforts
last year regarding the AIDS education made an impact in many ways
across the Bloomsburg University
campus.
"A similar approach needs to be
used again since the university will be
asked within a year to sign a commitment to the 'standards of the network
of colleges and universities committed to the elimination of drug and
alcohol abuse,'" he said.
Griffis plans to form the task force
in the next several months.

Geisinger telethon needs performers

Entertainers of all categories arc
invited to audition for volunteer performance during Geisinger Medical
Center's Miracle Weekend Carnival ,
to be held this year at the medical
center in Danville on Saturday, June 4
and Sunday, June 5.
The carnival is held concurrently
with the annual Children's Miracle
Network Telethon , which airs live in
central and northeastern Pennsylvania on WNEP-TV, Channel 16.
The Miracle Weekend is a time of
fun , laughter and caring - for a serious
cause. All the money raised by telethon even ts goes to help thousands of
children in northeastern and central
Pennsylvania who are treated at
Gcisinger's Children's Hospital Center.

BU dance show airs on cable

The area 's first video dance party is
set to air on local cable Channel 13 in
Bloomsburg and Channel 10 in Berwick. The show titled the STUDIO A
DANCE PARTY wifl air on Wednesday April 27 at 9 p.m.
The dance party is the result of
months of work put in by students in
cooperation with the Department of
Radio and Television Services and
the Theatre Department. The original
idea for the show was conceived by
senior Mass Communications major
Bob Duthaler.
"What I wanted to do was create a
show which would be a challenge for
myself and everyone involved - a
show patterned along the lines of
CLUB MTV, a show that would be fun
for the dancers and fun for people
watching at home," said Duthaler,
who serves as the show's producer.
"A challenge is exactly what this is
going to be," added Chief Enginner
Terry Hoover. "The dance party is
going to be by far the most technologically advanced show we've produced. There will be four cameras

used and two chroma-keys, which
allow us to superimpose background.
The set is designed for the use of four
monitors in the studio, each showing
a different picture, which will provide
a neat visual effect."
The set for the show was very challenging to design. Duthaler and Set
Coordinator Davelle Yergey enlisted
the help of Jack Wade of the Theatre
Department to help meet the show 's
needs. After several meetings Wade
was able to come up with a design that
allowed enough room for the dancers
and was appealing to the eye. "We are
extremely happy with the set. And,
with the proper lighting, it will give
the set an added flair that will enhance
the show," said Ycrgcy.
The man responsible for the lighting and camera shots is Director Joe
Monkman.
"Lighting-wise this " is a huge
undertaking, we've used almost every light we have. The challenge here
was to create a club atmosophere but
one not too dark. As far as camera
shots, we hope to have some really

Lions hunted in U.S

by Pete Thomas

LA. Times - Washington Post Service

The discovery of two African lion
carcasses this week near Wallisville,
Texas, a small town about 35 miles
east of Houston, has officials in the
area concerned.
Bill Reynolds, a special agent with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
said he located one of the carcasses killed by a bullet - Thursday on a
20,000-acre reserve set aside by the
Corps of Engineers for construction
of a proposed reservoir.
He theorized that the animal probably had strayed from private lands
onto the reserve.
"I think what (the land owner is)
doing is buying these lions, through a
broker, from a zoo or whatever, and
charging people $3,500 to go out and

shoot a lion," he said.
Because the African lion is not an
endangered species and the hunts are
taking place on private lands, Reynolds said, there is very little the
agency can do to stop the hunts.
"I wish there was something we
could do," he said. "There's no sport
involved at all. The guy will let the
animal - probably captive-bred - go
and someone would be waiting there
to shoot it. It's a crying shame. Most
of (the lions) probably don't even
have any teeth or claws."
Should the hunters be found on
federal land they can be charged with
illegally discharging a firearm on
federal property or trash dumping,
both carrying a fine of $50, but that's
the extent of punishment allowed by
law.

unique and different shots. With my
technical director, Ted Hodgins, we
will be mixing the shots and using
different effects. My job is to make
the show visually appealing, and I
think the show will be just that," said
Monkman.
Music for the show will be provided by WBUQ and Music Director
Raquel Alverado. Alverado will
serve as the show's host and will also
be in charge of the video music. "The
videos we're using are good dance
songs as well as good visuall y. We've
got videos from groups that range
form The Cure to Keith Sweat and
some brand new ones that haven 't
made it into MTV's rotation yet," said
Alverado.
"This show has been a team effort;
I just organized the team," said
Duthaler.
"Everyone from the secretary,
Cheri Mitstifer, to the production
team and anyone who helped out inbetween have given no less than 100
percent and the show will reflect that.
So tune in and check it out!"

Harry 's keeps
beer cooled in
unique fashion

by Anne Richardson
f o r The Voice
Twenty-one? Thirsty for an ice
cold beer?If so, head down to Ham' 's
where they have an unusual method
of keeping their beer cold. It is called
a water cooled system , and it works
from the basement.
Under the main structure of the
Hotel Magee lies every keg of beer
delivered to Harry 's. A walk-in refrigerator stores a small system .that
pumps the beer up from the basement
to the bar.
Manager Dave Dick said , "It ' s
very handy. . .when the kegs are delivered , we just bring it in the back
and put it in. "
This method avoids the clutter of
kegs at the bar and does not disturb
customers because it all takes place
underneath them. Dave explained
that once the kegs arc delivere d they
are hooked up to lines that "all go
through the cooler."
These separate lines travel through
the water in the tank that cools the
beer and then travel upstairs by

means of air pressure. The tank is
located outside of this refrigerated
room. After the beer is pumped
th rough a smal l hole in the floor it is
then water cooled once again.
Dick explained , "The best thing
about that (the lines being cooled a
second time) is if the lines are warm
the beer comes out foamy. " This
system avoids that problem.
According to Dick , the difference
between Harry 's system and normal
methods of cooling beer arc that , "A
lot of places must have the kegs right
under the bar. "
This way, the kegs arc either put
into refrigerated cabinets under the
bar or arc iced down. When a keg runs
out another has to be rolled through
the bar.
Using Harry 's system , it is just a
matte r of unhooking the "kicked" keg
and hooking up the full one right
under it. Dick said, "It's a real nice
system." The normal way to keep
beer cold is cheaper but not as convenient and the beer is not as cold as
the water-cooled system.

Tanning salons a hot item

Dawn M. D Aries
Staff Writer
With
the warm
weather
Bloomsburg has been getting, it is no
wonder students are walking around
with suntans. However, some seem
more tan than others, and it is not left
over from Spring Break'. Most of
those already tan students who have
been laying out in their bathing suits
around the basketball courts and on
Lycoming Beach have probabl y visited a tanning salon.
If you sunburn easily or feel better
about yourself when you have a tan ,
then you might consider visiting one
of the estimated 25,000 commercial
tanning salons in the nation.
The equipment used in tanning
salons is regulated by the Food and
Drug Administration. Operators are
required lo provide protective suntanning goggles and to post a label
advising customers who take medicine to consult a doctor before using
the tanning bed.
Almost all of these salons rely on
ultaviolct A radiation (UVA). UVA
radiation consists of the longer waves
in the light spectrum , and penetrates

deeper into the skin , producing a
safer, longer-lasting tan than other
ultraviolet rays.
Until onl y a few years ago, most
salons utilized utraviolct B radiation
onl y (medium-lenth waves). But an
FDA study showed that these rays
caused severe sunburn and health
complications , such as premature
wrinkling of skin.
The main purpose of the salon is
not to burn the skin , then tan , but
instead to create a base tan on the
skin. Tanning salons are ideal for the
person who burns easil y as they allow
sensitive skin to become used to the
sun 's rays. Salons create the base tan
so that a person is able to go out into
the sun without getting bumed.
That is the main reason why Rosemary Schultz , owner of Rosemary's
Beauty Salon on Main Street in
Bloomsburg , installed two tanning
beds at her business.
'When I 'd go to the beach, I'd burn
right away, because I' m fair-skinned.
So I decided to purchase these beds. I
have seen a lot of different types (of
beds), read up on the subject, and
talkedto a lot of people."

W^m^P ^- FORD DEALER

Dcbra Vann , owner of The Ultimate Tanning Salon , 239 Iron St.,
Bloomsburg , said she became interested in tanning beds after getting involved with weightlifting. She and
her husband did research on the subject and decided it would be feasible
to make a business out of Debra's
interest in tanning. The couple
opened The Ultimate Tanning Salon
four years ago with two tanning beds.
Vann explained the benefits of tanning in a salon. "First of all , it 's a
controlled atmosphere. There are no
bugs, it 's cool, private and clean. Secondl y, it controls/prevents acne."
She added th at people look and feel
better mentally and physically with a
tan , especially females, who compromise about 70 percent of her business. Men, particularl y those more
than 23 years old, tend to feel intimidated by the tanning salons.
Another advantage of the tanning
salon is that it provides 10 to 30
minutes of completed relaxation for
the customer. "I have students who
come between classes. If a student
has a tough exam or a difficult class
then they 'll often make an appointexam or a difficult class then they'll
often make an appointment directly
before or after the class," Vann said.
But there are negative aspects of
tanning. Sunlight is well known for
causing cancer, and some researchers
theorize that tanning salons therefore
are also a risk factor.
Large doses of UVA can cause
damage to the cornea, and repeated
exposure in a short period of time may
cause cataracts.
Also, people who take certain types
of medicine cannot safely use a tanning
salon.
But apparency the positive effects
outweigh the negative for many
people, since both Schultz and Vann
say they get about 20 to 50 customers
per day.
Karen Scidcl , a Bloomsburg University sophomore, visits a tanning salon
an average of once a week year round.
"I like to go to maintain my tan and a
health y glow. I feel relaxed after a session."
But getting a tan at a salon can be an
expensive habit. Prices range from
S2.50 to S5 for 10 to 30 minutes under
the lamps, and it's recommended that
customers start with 10 sessions, at two
per week to get a base tan.
Then to maintain the tan, it is recommended to go approximately once or
twice a week.
What it really comes down to is
whether the customer feels satisfied
with the result. With all the hype about
maintaining health y habits, looking
good and feeling good, tanning salons
could becomean even hotteritem in the
future.

by Shakuntala Rao
for The Voice
Many remember Clare Boothe
Luce, but how many remember
her saying, "If God had wanted us
to think with our wombs, why did
He g ive us a brain?"
We turn ourselves away from
such self-revealing reactions because a lot has been discussed
since then on feminist theories sometimes with excitement and at
limes with remorse.
The most recent conference on
the role of feminist theories in
modem educational system was
held at the Hamilton College, New
York on April 16. Feminist scholars from across the nation gathered to discuss feminist transformations of the social sciences and
their applicability to our course
curriculum.
Dr. Alice Klak , a psychology
professor who represented
Bloomsburg University at the
conference , says, "these conferences inform scholars and students from all over the country the
importance of women 's roles in
education and how important it is
to recognize that the theories
which govern most of our disciplines need to include both of the
sexes."
Most of the speakers emphasized feminism becoming an active and inherent group of our
regular education pattern.
"Why do we study political
th eories based as in ancient
Greece when the role of women
was restricted to merely household duties?" asked professor
Nancy Hartsock. "Why do we
have political theories which completely exclude women as gender
or restrain any political contribution from us?"
Hartsock is currently fighting a
legal battle against one of her male
students.
The student recently made national headlines by 'suing the de- '
partment of women studies at the
University of Washington for
teaching that "all men are wife
beaters."
Hartsock is unhappy that such
people should hinder the progress
women studies has made over the
past few years by spreading what
she considers to be "vicious lies."
University of Pennsylvania
psychologist Michelle Fine and
Dorothy Smith of Ontario Institute of Education urged for a
broader perspective to look at research methodologies being followed in various U. S. universities.
"I feel a deep sense of dissatisfaction at the way generalizations
are being made," said Smith.
"Studying women in factories, I
find that each one is different from
the other.
How callously we have generalized them in categories! We put a
few people in supposedly sterile
surroundings, call those 'laboratories' and question them relentlessly by calling them 'subjects'."
She would rather not follow the
empirical rules guiding textbooks
theories but study each individual
in his/her natural setting.
Anthropologist June Nash of
City University of New York
talked at length on the different
cultural roles of women in disparate societies especially in reference to Indian tribes in Brazil and
Guatemala, though we call ourselves civilized , we have a lot to
leam from such cultures where the
women is considered stronger and
prominent."
A number of scholars discussed
at length the disciplines which are
gradually accepting the emergence of women and reframing
their basic and fundamental concepts. They generally agreed that
the social sciences affirm that a
woman 's place in society marks
the level of civilization.
Shirley Perry, a senior at BU
who was present at the meeting,
was impressed with the way feminist researchers are dealing with a
number of problems facing
American women.
Perry wished that BU students
were more exposed to the feminist
theories discussed in major universities.

When I was visiting Washington
D.C. I came across it.
A few friends and I had driven
down from Philadelphia over Easter
to visit a friend.
The long trip had made us all very
hungry, so we decided to eat at a sub
shop down the street from his apartment.
As we entered the sub shop, I saw it.
It was spinning on a stick surrounded
by a heating unit of some kind.
I was pretty sure that it must be
something edible, although of what
variety I couldn 't tell you.
It might be meat of some kind, I
thought. It did look a little like a giant
slab of spam.
But unless they were in the habit of
making Spam in 22 pound cans it
would have to be something else.
It was intriguing to watch, as it spun
around, hypnotically, juices oozing
from the surface and dripping down
to the dish below.
I watched it the whole time I ate.
Finally it became to much for me to
handle, and I decided to ask Chris
what it might be.
"ThatisaGyro,"he said,"itsonour
agenda for tonight."
I was horrified, he didn 't really
expect me to eat that did he?
"Relax," he said, "they are are the
greatest things in the world. Everybody in D.C. is nuts about them."
Chris explained that you didn 't just
eat the meat on the Gyro batter plain ,
they made a sandwich from it. What
they did was trim the "meat" off , fry
it up like a steak sandwich, and serve
it in a pita with lettuce and tomato.
That didn't sound to bad.
But on further questioning of the
origin of the Gyro meat, and what
exactly was used to prepare one, I was
met with uncertainty and mystery.
He wasn't really sure what kind of
meat Gyro consisted of. He wasn't
even sure that it was meat.
"I think it's like cheese food , you
know like a fake meat, or a meat biproduct," he said.
My enthusiasm for a Gyro wasatits
lowest point. I decided to drop the
subject.
As the evening progressed we decided to check out some of the bars in
George Town. After a short cab ride
and a few blocks of walking, we
ended up at a bar.
Everyone was enjoying themselves, except me. I couldn't stop
thinking about those Gyros.
Every where we went that nig ht I
was haunted by them: people earing
them on the street; restaurants with
large signs that would proclaim,
GYROS $3, or WE SERVE THE
BEST GYRO IN D.C.
I waited all night dreading the
moment that Chris would turn to me
and say, "It's Gyro time."
But then it was 3 a.m., the bar was
closing and still no mention of the
Gyro. I was saved.
As we left the bar I felt good for the
first time since I'd seen that horrible
slab of Gyro meat.
But then as we were waiting for a
cab to go back to his apartment, I felt
a tap on my shoulder.
"You thought I forgot didn 't you?"
Chris said.
"Forgot what?" I lied.
He had tricked me.
He waited the whole evening to
trap me into eating one of these Gyros.
There in his hand were two Gyros.
He had bought them when he was
supposed to be getting the cab.
I was trapped , he told me that the
only way to get home was to take a
bite.
My head swam. I thought I m ight
faint
"WHAT IS GYRO MEAT!" I
screamed.
No answer.
Finally, a broken man, I closed my

Staff Writer
Thirty-six women are currently
pledg ing Phi Sigma Sigma, a national sorority, at Bloomsburg University.
According to Lisa Cellini, president of the pledge colony, two
groups of women interested in forming sororities merged last semester,
and have been working with Phi
Sigma Sigma and the Inter-Sorority
Council of BU to establish a chapter
on campus.
Cellini said the women decided on
a national sorority because of the
range of opportunities involved in
being a member.

the women have initiated service

These projects include a hoagie

Cellini said the group is trying to
obtain leadership positions on campus. They have opened lines of communication between themselvesand
other Greek organizations.
"Right now, as far as we can tell,
the sororities and fraternities are accepting and respecting us," Cellini
said. "We're doing everything by
the book and working hard."
The pledging includes various
service projects, such as helping
with campus tours, doing work for
Red Cross, and volunteering at St.
Columbia Day Care Center.
The women, who are all sophomores, must prepare for a national
test to be taken in the fall. For now ,
the group is developing close ties
between themselves, doing service
projects, and developing ties with
other Greek organizations.

Africans seek election reform

by Scott Kraft

The Senior Send-Off Picnic, held yesterday despite cloudy skies, found these five senior

In the face of swelling support for
the government's right-wing political
opposition ,President Picter W. Botha
Thursday reiterated his commitment
to step-by-step reform of apartheid
and proposed that "recognized black
leaders" be included in the electoral
college that chooses South Africa 's
president.
ButBotha , inawide-rangingpolicy
address to Parliament in Cape Town ,
did not give specific proposals for
black participation in the college.
Under South Africa 's white minorityled government, blacks have never
had a direct say in selecting the president.
Botha 's speech was seen by analysts as an attempt to show white
South Africans that his ruling National Party would not buckle to increasing pressure from the extremeright Conservative Party, the official
opposition that has won three recent

Gorbachev 's rival loses Politburo role

by David Remnick and Gary Lee

LA. Times - Washington Post Service

Alexander Yakovlev, aclose ally of
Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev ,
may have already assumed the ruling
Politburo's essential ideology portfolio from Yegor Ligachev, the cmbattled opponent of many of
Gorbachev 's radical reform plans,
according to Soviet and western
sources here.
In another development suggesting
that Gorbachev is gaining in the political duels over the pace and extent
of his reform drive, an official Soviet
newspaper published the first interview with deposed Moscow party
boss Boris Yeltsin , a strong supporter
of the reforms, since his ouster last
fall.
When asked about speculation in
Moscow that Ligachev may soon lose
his standing as the second most powerful political leader in the country
after Gorbachev, a well-informed
Soviet official said , "Look, there are
speculations about cxacdy what will
happen but there are also hard facts.
"And what are these facts? I will

name three in the last week or so.
Yakovlev met with (American industrialist Armand) Hammer, which was
always the job of the number one or
two man. Second, Yakovlev saw off
the prime minister (Nikolai Ryzhkov)
on his trip to Budapest. And third ,
Yakovlev was the leader of the Politburo in its meetings with the Russian
Republic officials. All of it was on
television. What more is needed?
These are hard facts, and the scenarios
I will leave to you."
The scenario predicted most frequently by Soviet and western officials here has Ligachev losing his real
power in the Politburo and eventually
moving to the largely ceremonial job
of head of the Supreme Soviet, or
president, the post now held by former foreign minister Andrei Gromyko.
Gromyko, those sources said,
would retire under that scenario, and
Ligachev's duties would be divided
between Yakovlev, who would take
on Ligachev's ideology portfolio , and
party secretary Georgi Razumovsky,
another Gorbachev ally, who would

take charge of the party cadres.
Other sources have said that Ligachev is away from Moscow on
vacation.
The timing of his absence, if confirmed , would be significant, as the
Kremlin was closed to visitors Thursday while the leadership was preparing the crucial ideological speech
given every year on April 22, the
birthday of the founder of the Soviet
state, Vladimir Lenin.
The publication of Yeltsin's interview is being interpreted here as a
signal that he is making something of
a political comeback. But the interview was published only in the German-language edition of the newspaper Moscow News, prepared for sale
in West Germany, indicating that
Yeltsin 's political position is still
disputed within the Communist Party
leadership.
In the interview, Yeltsin was unrepentant about the sensational speech
he gave to the Communist Party
Central Committee in October, which
led to his dramatic demotion to deputy head of a construction conglomer-

ate and his loss of a nonvoting scat on
the Politburo.
"I spoke candidly and said what 1
felt and what I thought was right ,"
Yeltsin said. He quoted "someone
famous" as saying, "Everybody must
think independently so that the light
doesn 't go out suddenly on everyone."
Alluding to the continuing battle
over Gorbachev 's campaign for
greater democratization , Yeltsin exhorted its proponents to push onward.
"I belong to those who are ready to
tough it out," he said, "and not to be
afraid to take risks."
In his Central Committee speech,
Yeltsin is said to have attacked several members of the Kremlin leadership - including Ligachev - for braking the pace of the reforms.
When Yeltsin 's Soviet interviewer
showed him versions of his speech
that were published in February in the
French newspaper Le Monde and
other western newspapers, he dismissed them as "forgeries."
Yeltsin declined to discuss the real
contentsof his speech, however, citing a party.rule against making public
the contents of remarks made at Central Committee meetings, which are
closed to the public. "I don't want to
talk anymore about what I said a half
year ago," he was quoted as saying.
The current struggle between radical reformers and more conservative
elements in the Kremlin comes at a
time when the leadership is trying
against all odds to make its plans for
change a practical reality. While
many Soviets, especially intellectuals, have been impressed by the openness of debate and criticism in the
press, millions of ordinary people are
profoundly disappointed by the meager results that reform has brought to
store shelves.

pears to be gaining support among the
5 million white voters.
The Conservative Party has accused Botha's government of "selling
out" the whites by engaging in a program to reform apartheid, the system
of racial separation in the country.
"This beautiful country, with its
wealth of diversity, deserves less
negative propaganda and actions,"
Botha said. "South Africa deserves
more patriotism."
He appealed to South Africans to
"remain calm, restore balance and
recognize each other's rights. If wc
wish to live together peacefull y ... the
time has come to reflect on what
unites us instead of emphasizing what
divides us."
The president said that he continued to support the creation of a national advisory council in which
blacks and whites could negotiate and
propose a new constitution. But it
would have to be approved by Parliament, where the country 's 26 million
blacks have no seat.
That proposa l has been rejected by
most prominent black leaders, including moderate Zulu chief Mangosuthu
Buthclezi , who say that the government must first release black nationalist leaders, such as Nelson Mandela,
from jail and lift restrictions on antiapartheid organizations.
While Botha said he thought that
black leaders supported the principle
of a national council, he added that
some had asked that it be named
"Indaba ," a Zulu word meaning
"meeting." "\\ re are of the opinion

that it (the Zulu name) deserves serious Consideration ," he added.
Helen Suzman , of the liberal white
Progressive Federal Party, criticized
the president 's proposals as vague
and noted that Botha gave no timetable for imp lementing them.
And Koos van der Merwe, a Conservative Party member of Parliament, accused Botha of another step
in abandoning the Afrikaner people,
the descendants of Dutch , German
and French settlers who make up the
bulk of the Conservatives. The
speech, he said, was "weak and meaningless, a collection of warmed-up
leftovers from previous statements."
In his speech, Botha also criticized
the anti-apartheid activities of church
leaders, "who go out of their way to
provoke the government."
The multidcnominational South
African Council of Churches had
increased its criticism of the government since the government on Feb. 25
restricted 18 anti-apartheid organizations. Botha responded with vitriolic
attacks on some church leaders, and
the confrontation led to the arrest and
brief detention last month of Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu and
several other clergymen during a
protest march in Cape Town.
South Africa's largest grouping of
anti-apartheid organization s, the
United Democratic Front , with an
estimated membership of more than 3
million , is restricted from commenting officiall y on the speech because of
the restrictions imposed upon it in
February.

American troops report two
intruder incidents in Panama
LA. Times-Washington Post Service
^
U.S. military

troops in Panama
have reported two new incidents of
intruders at American facilities that
led to gunfire from military guards,
Defense Department officials said
Thursday.
Three U.S. soldiers at an observation post west of Howard Air Force
Base said they fired at what they believed were about 30 intruders on
American property at about 8 p.m.
Wednesday, according to Pentagon
spokesman Dan Howard.
'There is no indication the 30 intruders actual ly fired ," Howard said.
The Army guards, while waiting for
backup troops, fired at least two Claymore mines in an effort to divert the
intruders, officials said.

Another suspected incursion was
reported at about midnight Tuesday
when a soldier at the Rodman ammunition storage site adjacent to the U.S.
Naval Station spotted what he believed to be three intruders wearing
berets and carrying small arms and
bags, Howard said.
The intruders shot at the Army
guard , according to the guard's account, and he then returned fire, officials said.
A Marine Corps unit swept the
area, but found no intruders , officials
said. No Americans were injured in
cither incident, officials said.
Military officials are investigating
two other reported incursions at a
fuel-tank farm near Howard Air
Force Base last week. On April 12, a

Marine was fatally shot by one of his
own troops when his unit became
separated while searching the jungle
for the suspected intruders.
The next night, Marines reported
engaging in a two-hour firefight with
40 to 50 uniformed intruders at the
same site. Administration sources
said an investigation of that incident
is "inconclusive" as to whether any
intruders were in the area, and Howard said Thursday that several days of
searching the jungle at the site of the
alleged incursion turned up no spent
cartridge cases. He said searchers
found two bottles of insect repellent
not usually used by U.S. troops , a
used bandage, a black kerchief and
several "well-established trails
marked by slash marks."

Sen. Gore suspends campaign

by Karen Tumulty

LA. Times-Washington Post Service

critical of Illinois Sen. Paul Simon s
decision to suspend his candidacy and
hold his delegates, was notably temperate Thursday in reacting to Gore's
decision to follow the same course.
"In some sense, when the race is
over and you've stopped running, you
should declare that," he said early in
the day in Williamsport, Pa.
"But that's a judgment for Paul
Simon and Al Gore to make,"Jackson
said.
But he said later at a news conference in Erie that both Gore and S imon
had told him that their decisions were
based in part on the belief that a pullout "would be used as a stampede at
this point of their delegates toward
Dukakis, perhaps."
At a press conference at Logan airport in Bostan , Dukakis had only
praise for Gore.
"There's no question he's very
strongly committed to a Democratic
victory in the fall," Dukakis said.
"He made it very clear to me that if
I win this nomination he's going to be
out there working very hard for me. ...
I wish him well and congratulate him
on a long, hard, good fight." Dukakissaid.
Although Gore's impressive finish
on Super Tuesday propelled himrinto
the top tier of Democratic contenders,
it was not enough to carry his cam-

Sen. Albert Gore Jr., predicting
"there will be other days for me and
the causes that matter to us," suspended his presidential campaign
Thursday.
Gore promised to work vigorously
for his party's ultimate nominee.
"The nominee is going to be Michael Dukakis or Jesse Jackson ," he
said.
"I'm going to do everything I can to
help them do what I set out to do, and
that is to put a Democrat in the White
House," Gore said.
Gore said his decision to suspend
rather than end his campaign will not
affect the balance of the race.
All but 78 of his 423 delegates, he
explained , could have gone to the
convention under cither circumstance
and voted for whomever they chose.
However, if he had officially withdrawn from the race, the remainder
would have been blocked from attending.
Their spots would have been allocated roughly evenly between
Jackson and Dukakis.
Gore's announcement came as no
surprise after his distant third-place
finish in Tuesday's New York primary.
The latest in a string of defeats.
Nonetheless, by defying conventional wisdom , Gore outlasted most
of his opponents.
Instead of joining the traditional
winter campaign march through the
snows of Iowa and New Hampshire,
Gore concentrated on his native
South, where he won an impressive
six primaries on March 8.
Super Tuesday, however, would
effectively prove to be both the beginning and the end of his campaign.
Toward the end of his ten-month
quest for the nomination, the 40-yearold Tennessee senator made headlines by attacking his Democratic
rival.
This irked many who saw his tactics as divisive.
His exit, however, was a graceful
one, m which he credited his opponents with teaching him important
lessons.
Particularly eloquent was his tribute to the Rev. Jackson.
Justlastmonth, Gore had dismissed
Jackson 's candidacy with an offhanded barb.
"We're not choosing a preacher;
we're choosing a President," Gore
said.
But Gore acknowledged Thursday <
that "my friend Jesse Jackson" taught •
him that "a successful President must •
be both a chief executive and a *
preacher."
•
In stark contrast to Jackson's cam- •
paign, Gore's was marked by a failure «
to develop a clear, compelling mes- •
sage.
*
Instead of sharpening, Gore's iden- •
tity blurred as his presidential cam- .
paign progressed.
•
The youngest candidate in the race "
had tried, rather incongruously, to sell •
*
himself as the most experienced.
In the South, he emphasized posi- •
tions that made him appear conserva- '
tive.
•
In the North , he seemed moderate *
to liberal.
•
And even as he suffered defeat after •
defeat at the hands of Jackson and •
Dukakis, Gore continued to make the •
argument that he was more electable •
•
than they.
Both Dukakis and Jackson ap- «
pearedready to accept Gore's offer of •
working to restore party unity.
•
Jackson, who has been sharply •

paign north .
Gore joked Thursday: "I was doing
great until I turned 40," a birthday he
celebrated during the height of his
campaign in New York .
Most around Gore insist that he
suffered no permanent political damage during the campaign.
Many say he has positioned himsel f
well for a second try in 1992.
Gore has about $1.6 million in
campaign debt,.
His advisers say retiring it should
be no problem for an incumben t senator who is seen as having a long and
promising political career ahead of
him.
However, his heretofore unblemished record on civil rights may have
been marred by his role in fanning the
racial tensions surrounding the New
York primary.
His most prominent backer there,
Mayor Edward I. Koch, alienated
many in the black community with his
denunciations of Jackson.
Even Mayor Koch has acknowledged that his support - initially
thought to have given Sen. Gore's
candidacy a boost - was instead a liability.
Rep. Thomas J. Downey, D-N.Y.,
who was Gore's New York-chairman,
said the senator now must concentrate
on "mending fences" with blacks.

FISHER ON SPORTS

Stick-violence
has got to go
Jim Fisher
StaffWriter
Two incidents caused me to write
the following article. First, last
week the officiati ng, or should I say
the lack of it, in the intramural
hockey league held in Centennial
Gym, and second, Saturday night's
playoff game in which Marty
McSolcy of the Edmonton Oilers
speared Mike Bullard of the Calgary Flames in the ribs .
The Oilers scored on the play.
The officials gave McSolcy a five
minute major for spearing. Well
gentlemen , your call sucked.
Bullard wasn 't moving on the ice
and had to be taken to a hospital.
The value between the players is uncomparable.
Bullard scored 48 goals and finished with 103 points and McSolcy
scored nine goals and 17 assists.
But the most important slat for
this Oiler was his 223 penalty minutes.
Yes, he is a goon.
These incidents brought me to the
position of researching the violence
and stick work in the recent history
of professional hockey.
I went back to find a rash of incidents starting on January 4, 1975.
The Boston Bruins played the Minnesota North Stars in which the
game turned into a brawl.
David Forbes of the Bruins hit
Henry Boucha of the North Stars in
the face with his stick.
Boucha suffered a fracture of the
eye cavity that left him with residual
double vision. The NHL suspended
Forbes for 10 games.
But this wasn t Forbes only punishment. A Hennepin County, Minnesota grand jury indicted Forbes
for aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon; his hockey stick. In late
July, the case was declared a mistrial.
Also, during the 1974-75 season
Dave "The Hammer" Schultz compiled a record 472 penalty minutes;
or eight games in the penalty box.
On April 11; 1976, Rick Jodzio of
the Calgary Cowboys in the old
World Hockey Association downed
Mark Tardif of the Quebec Nordiques. Tardif in comparison with
the NHL today is like Mario
Lemieux.
Tardif spent the summer in a hospital recovering from brain contusions. He was also voted the
league's MVP.
Jodzio was charged with assault
with intent to injure and was suspended indefinately fro m the
WHA.
Also that year at Maple Leaf Gardens, Dan Maloney of the Detroit
Red Wings slammed Toronto
Maple Leaf Brian Glennie's head
off the ice. Maloney was acquitted
of assault charges.
In the 1981-82 season, Jimmy
Mann of the Winnipeg Jets broke
the jaw of Paul Gardner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The NHL suspended Mann for 10 games.
A federal court in Detroit
awarded Dennis Polonich $850,000
in damages for a stick-swinging
incident involving Wilf Paiment in
1983. I'm not positive but I think it
happened in the 1978-79 season
while Paiment was then with the
Rockies.
Polonich suffered a broken nose
and a concussion. The case was
landmarked because it was the first
to award against a player.
These are just a few examples of
stick-swinging incidents in the
NHL. The NHL has to start getting
tough and enforce its policies or it
will suffer another setback.
One reason I feel the NHL isn tas
popular as it could be is because of
the violence.
Bloomsburg intramurals have the
same situation. The officials are
either too intimidated or inexperienced to make the proper calls.
People participating don 't have
the proper equipment to be playing
in an atmosphere equivalent to the
NHL. Also players who have no
concept of the game have no business playing.
Intramuralsports are meant to be
fun. The stiek-work such as slashing, spearing, and high-sticking has
got to go.
Just becauseyou seeDave Brown
of the Flyers doing it, gives you no
right to do it

Millersville findsBloomsburg 's number
Men 's lacrosse club
loses chance at perfect .
season, fall s 6-5 to MU
*

The Bloomsburg University men s
lscrosse club dropped a tough game to
Millcrsville this past Saturday by a
score of 6-5.
The loss was Bloomsburg's first of
the season in nine tries and was a
tough home loss for the Huskies.
Trailing 6-3 with only 'four minutes
remaining in the game, the Huskies
were able to rally and battle back to 65, with only 30 seconds left.
Bloomsburg 's valiant comeback
stalled there though as time ran out on
the Huskies and the Maurauders captured the victory by a final score of 65.
In the scoring column for
Bloomsburg was Dan nagcl and Matt
Wachinski who each had two. Gary
Fredrickson also chi pped in with his
solo goal.
The match was overshadowed by
another problem , and Bloomsburg's
head coach , Bill Acierno, had mixed
emotions about the game.
"Our team played thier hearts out ,
Acierno said. "When the score was 63 with four minutes left , our team
rallied and we were down 6-5 with 30
seconds left."
"Unfortunately time ran out before
we had a chance to tie," headded.
Despite the praise he gave his team,
he reserved it for those who were
present.
"I am really teed off ," Acierno said.
"We only had two lines of experienced middi es, only three defensive
players with no backups and several
attack players who had to fill in as
middies when Chuck Zwicker got
hurt."
"Then with losing Todd Gibian
(anothermiddie)who isoutfortherest
of the season with a shoulder injury,
we were really sort-handed, especially on defense," he added.
Generally, a normal lacrosse team
would run with as many as .three.lines,
including backups, not the two that
Aciemo just mentioned.
"Some of our guys didn't show up
because of other priorties, and that is
what upset me," Acierno explained.
"If we were a varsity team, we

wouldn't ever have this problem.
As a result of the fact that many defensemen were missing, Bloomsburg
spent most of the game in their own
half of the field.
"Wc were on defen se for more than
two-thirds of the entire game," Acierno said, "and that was without 40
percent of our defensive people."
With so much emphasis on defense
in this game, the Huskies were lucky
to have goalie Mark Burkholdcr.
"Burkholder played his best game
of the season ,mostlysincewe were on
defense so much ," Acierno said of the
goalie."He had so many saves that we
could not keep track of them all. He
kept us in the game," Acierno said.
In a game of this kind though , there
were more players who had good
games, or else Bloomsbug would
have been crushed.
Defensemen Neil Weiler, Dan
Cairns and Tim Fuesner had good
games. Cary McCalain , Don Shearer,
Brian Horan, Chuck Zwicker, Ron
Fehcr, Tom Dastalfo and Fredrickson
were outstanding for the middies.
While attackers Troy Francisco ,
Nagel and Wachinski all had good
days.
First year man Wachinski is making
an impact on the team very early and
has been playing well all season.
"All these guys really played well,'
Aciemo said.
The loss hurt the Huskies though.
Not only was it an end to their winning streak, but also ended their quest
for an undefeated season.
Acierno was less than happy, "If we
had had our full team, we would have
won. I don't mean this to takeanything
away from Millersville, because they
do have five top-notch players, butthe
rest our just average."
Acierno hasn't deserted the season
yet, though.
.'.'We still have a chance to be 1QT -1,
if we take the last two games seriously
and not slack off like we did Saturday
against Millersville," Aciemo said.
"Now,both of the games are against
tough teams, so we have to hang tough
and play as a full team," Acierno said.

iVM 181 W li MB M^|8

Bloomsburg 's men 's lacrosse club lost its chance at an undefeated season when millersville beat them 6-5. They now have two
games remaining and Coach Acierno feels thay can win them both.

KQ

Philadelphia caught in a cycle
Dear Sports Editor,
Michael , Michael , Michael, what is
the matter with you? How in the world
could you say that Philadelphia sports
are dead? Were you ill when you
penned that last column , or were you
just in a different state of mind?
There is nothing wrong with the
sports scene in Philly, except that a
few of the teams are finding themselves in that typical cycle where the
veterans are retiring and young players are r.&t yet contributing.
Now, I know you probably can't
believe I'm saying this (becauseof my
slightly New York-biased feelings),
but it's the truth . Just look at the other
major sports cities and compare.
Take New York for example. It
wasn't too long ago that most of the
teams were downright terrible, struggling as Philadelphia teams are now.
But look at what some young players
and drafting can do.
The Mets and Devils are very much
improved teams. The Yankees
slumped a bit, but are now back.
The Jets and the Giants are now
playoff caliber teams when five or six
years ago they were pushovers.
Do you need another example?
Philadelphia teams aren 't the only
ones slumping.
Look at what's happened to the
once powerful Dodgers and Orioles.
How about the Steelers and Raiders?
And the Knicks and the Bullets?
Finally, how about hockey's Rangers and Maple Leafs, two teams who
just can 't seem to get anything going?
So as you can see, my dear friend ,
Mr. Mullen, Philadelphia sports are
not dead, but merely suffering from
that dreaded disease: aging veterans.
Your sports teams can't be number
one forever (Boston Celtics excluded,
I don't think they'll ever have a bad
season).
Yes, Mike, even though it hurts to

admit, even I know the Mets will crash the sports world, and I'm sure that
one day, and you 'll be laughing in my they'll eventually capture the crown
face.
again.
Dave Sauter
Therefore , give your city 's teams a
Ex-Sports Editor
break. Philadelphia was once king in

Philadel phia sports
teams sorely lacking

With the exception of the Eagles, I
am an avid Philly sports fan , and also
a friend of Mike Mullen. The grief he
is receiving about last week's "From
The Locker Room" is undeserved.
The reason is he told the truth.
I follow all Philly sports except the
Eagles. Face it, 1980 was a fluke. The
mighty polish squirtgun was never
any good. As for Buddy Ryan; all talk,
no action. My Cowboys may be
slumping, but they'll be back up on
top.
The Phillies are currently 8-9. It's
still early, but already the pitching is
shaky. Don Carmen and a healthy
Bedrock will be the only ones who
prove to be dependable. Rawley will
never get healthy. As for Schmidt-hey
he's 39. Can't do it all y 'know.
TheFlyers are the toughest to figure
out No one is healthy, they call players up from Hershey all the time, and
yet the good old Hershey Bears are
still in the hunt for the Calder Cup,
while the Flyers will watch someone
else win the Stanley Cup. Hextall
spends most of his time complaining
to the refs and his defense is always
skating backwards. Where are Tim
Tockey and Brad McCrimmon when
you need them?
As for the Sixers, except for Barkley and Mo Cheeks, the line-up is
changing so often I don't know who
the hell is on the team. Bringing in
Lynan to coach was just brilliant-

Tennis team wins pair over weekend

Huskies drop Kutztown and
Scranton without losing a set

Bloomsburg Up.iversity's men s
tennis team tookapairof victories this
past weekend over viciting clubs,
Kutztown and Scranton by scores of
8-0 and 9-0 respectively.
In the first match on Saturday
against the Golden Bears of
Kutztown, it was the Huskies usual
singles lineup sweeping throught the
order with all wins.
Mark Billone downed Jack
Mchlbaum at first singles, 6-0, 6-0.
Raly Lamy won over John Annoni
at second singles, 6-0, 6-0.
Lance Milner defeated Steve Anzaione in third singles, 6-2, 6-0.

Mike Mullen
SportsEditor
After my cars stopped ringing
from all the mispronunciationsof
names that I have heard over the
few months I have worked with
Bob Bailey, I was able to gather my
thoughts enough to read his letter
to the editor.
Although some points were
raised that seemed pertinent, it
doesn't change the facts that I based
my statements on.
Vague statements like, "Watch
the Flyers (or Sixers or Eagles)
next year" do not back up any argument.
Also insults about my ating habits and/or my drinking habits do
nothing to lend credence to any
argument you are trying to present.
And to make matters worse,
misspelling the names of those that
you claim to know so (Sam)well
just further discredits your arguments.
Can't you make out the jerseys to
well from the 700 level or what?
Your letter gave nothing more
than excuses for the teams. As a fan
myself , I don't want to hear any
more excuses.
It isn't just "silly Mike" that
thinks something is wrong in
Philadelphia , it is professionals
like Ralph Bernstein who writes
for the Associated Press. I am
sorry, but I do have the facts as well
as other professionals on my side.
I honestly cannot foresee any of
the teams in Philadelphia doing
any form of winning for at least
two to three seasons. As a Phillies
fan, I hope that I am wrong, but I
doubt that I will be.
.Finally, watch the comments
about the Lehigh Valley, we gave
you Matt Millcn , Jean Millcn ,
Larry Millerand Kevin Reynolds.
As for experiencing Philadelphia sports, where were you opening day ?
I was at Veterans stadium watching the Phillies lose to the Pirates.
I had a soft pretzel . It was cold.
No hoagies for this man , Abner's
cheesesteaks are the only way to
go. Oh and as for the coke, I drink
Dr. Pepper thatnk you very much.
Yelling at the refs and booing the
players may be your style, not
mine.
And as for a standing ovation ,
the last time anyone got one was
the day Julius Erving retired.
The defense rests.

Marc Lupinacci beat Gary Davidowich , 6-0, 6-1.
Dave Gilbert beat his opponent,
Ken Mackey, 6-1, 6-1.
At sixth singles, Jay Pheasant
downed Paul Trefny, 6-0, 6-1.
With the number one doubles
match not played , the number two
team of Lamy and Steve Looker defeated the team of Davidowich and
Mackey, 6-2, 6-4.
The number three doubles was
Kerry Puhl and Sean Ryan against
Annoni and Trfney. Bloomsburg prevailed , 6-2, -6-4.
The win dropped Kutztown to 2-7

for the season and raised Bloomsburg
to 16-5.
More of the same success was felt
