Parking nig htmare is

For the last 16 consecutive semesters, I've run a student concerns survey in class sections taught. This informal poll relies completely on student inputs: What they like and dislike
about BU.
Both the qucstionairc items and the
percentage listings of specific concerns are exclusively those of the students, not mine.
The list of likes remained identical
after the spring 1988 questionnairerevision process. The lirt of dislikes,
however, changed considerably.

The top two dislikes were "registration or scheduling problems" and

To the editor:
An interesting thing happened to
me on my trek to lower campus from
my night class last evening. What you
may ask was this event that compelled
me to write a letter to the editor so
soon after it happened.
On my way from McCormick I was
passing Bakeless and thought to
myself, with all the rainfall I bet the
mud from the hill next to Bakeless
would run down and cause an awful
mess.
What I did not think about was the
fact that with the m uddy sidewalk also
came a slippery sidewalk.
This realization would not have
come to me except that the person
walking in front of me slipped and

nearly fell in the mud.
I thoughta university thatspends so
much money on replacing flowers to
beautify the campus could at least
replace a slap of ground removed for
their steam project to protect the
safety of its sludents.
While tonights scenario was not
tragic, in the future the university and
its students may not be quite so lucky.
I hope the university decides to
replace the ground it removes with
sod or something comparable so the
students of Bloomsburg do not have
to risk health and limb by taking a
simple walk from upper to lower
campus.
A Concerned Studen t

Beyond the three Rs of education
BOSTON — There was a time
when people believed they could
know it all. An educated person could
read every book ever written , learn
every equation ever devised. Knowledge was seen as a kind of pie. You
could keep slicing away at it until you
had eaten the whole thing.
We have no such illusions anymore. Education in the information
age is something quite different. Every time we find an answer it leads
exponentially to lists of new questions. It 's rather like mapping the universe as it keeps expanding.
We know more than our ancestors
and yet we know a much much
smaller percentage of the sum total of
what is known.
Once you get beyond the three Rs,
learning today becomes a process of
specializing. Those who want to
know a great deal study deeply rather
than broadly.
The best and brightest of one field
may be ignorant of another, unable to
communicate. In the explosion of
information , the center doesn 't hold.
This is why we have such raging
debates right now on college cam-

puses about what every graduate
should know. It's an argument about
creating a core, about reconstituting
common wisdom.
There is much agreement that we
need something to hold onto in this
centrifuge. There is the belief that
people who inhabit the same country
or community need to share some
body of knowledge the way they need
to share a body of laws.
But it 's much harder to agree on
what put in that core. We are, after all ,
arguing about what is most important
in our culture , struggling for intellectual power.
One small piece of this struggle has
gone on at Stanford University this
year over the conten t of a required
course on Western civilization . For
eight years, this class focused on 15
books, classics of Western philosophy and literatu re. Not surprisingly,
the authors were all white men.
To many in the university community, the subjecthadasubtextthatsaid
our civilization was at root a white
male civilization , and the body of
knowledge worth knowing then and
now was European and male. It

passed along this tradition with other
values in those texts.
After much debate, sometimes
heated, sometimes thoughtful, the
Stanford Faculty Senate voted at the
end of March to open up this hard core
a bit. They renamed the course "Cultures, Ideas and Values," and added
"works by women, minorities and
persons of color." They added the
study of one non-European culture
and of race, gender and class.
Into this situation walked Secretary
William Bennett last week. Bennett
has honed the skills of reverse negotiation over these years. He is an expert at "getting to no."
He claimed that the faculty had
been intimidated into lowering their
standards and, in effect, letting down
the side. The side being Western civilization.
Bennett seems to regard the inclusion of women and minorities, of nonWestern cultures, into the inner circle
of learning the way many like him
rgard affirmative-action programs. It
means an automatic sacrifice of excellence to political pressure.
He was surely one of the few who

thought civilization was actually
threatened by a Standford student
chant last fall: "Hey, hey, ho, ho,
Western culture 's got to go."
But the debate raided in California
is not just about the West or the Great
Books (by White European Men)
Tradition. It's about agreeing on a
central core of knowledge in a society
that is pluralistic in its information as
well as its population.
We need shared texts to communicateacross the information explosion.
But cries for unity, whether they are
for family unity or national unity, can
often be a call to silence diversity into
one traditional voice.
In an era of specialization, can we
identify a common wisdom without
retreating to a narrow mind?
Like many other institutions, Stanford is try ing to do something quite
difficult: to pass on tradition without
perpetuating it as an exclusive club.
Going back to basics doesn 't mean
going back in time.
A core curriculum that left a European male spine would, with apologies to Allen Bloom, close the American mind.

Soviet p ress agency
recognizes fail ures

by Charles P. Wallace

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

With the withdrawal of Soviet
troops from Af ghanistan scheduled to
begin in three weeks, the Soviet press
is starting to acknowledge the failures
of the Kremlin-backed revolution in
the country.
The Soviets previously have not
engaged in the kind of public handwringing that surrounded the American involvement in Vietnam.
Most Soviet officials have been
content to express satisfaclion wilh
the Geneva accords signed April 14 by
Afghanistan and Pakistan, with the
United States and the Soviet Union as
guarantors . The accords provide for
the estimated 115,000 Soviet troops to
begin pulling out of Afghanistan May
15 and complete the withdrawal in
nine months.
The Geneva accords did not include
a cease-fire, and the Kabul government still must face seven Afghan
guerrillagroups, which have vowed to
ignore the Geneva agreement, set up
their own transitional government and
fight on until the last Soviet soldier
leaves.
Tuesday, the 10th anniversary of
the so-called April Revolution, when
Soviet-backed leftist officers overthrew the regime of President Mohammed Daoud, the country 's defense minister, Lt. Gen . Mohammed
Rafie, told a parade in Kabul lhat his

government was prepared to keep
fi ghting.
"Our army is ready to fighl for peace
and territory we will never allow the
opposition to put their dirty plan into
action," he said.
Some observers question whether
the Afghan army, which was hardpressed by the guerrillas even when it
was backed by Soviet troops, will be
able to survive when the Soviet units
are withdrawn.
The Afghan ambassador in
Moscow , Mohamadullah Subhani
Safi , told a news conference here
Tuesday that after Soviet troops leave,
he felt sure that Afghan army soldiers
"will be able to repulse the bandits."
But Afghan officials admit serious
political problems in the country after
a decade of Soviet intervention and
Marxist leadership.
In an interview published Tuesday,
the head of the Democratic Youth
Movement of Afghanistan , Farid
Mazdak, said, "We failed to unite the
people under the banner of revolution ,
but wc shall be able to unite people
under the banner of peace."
Among the failures of the revolution noted by Mazdak: seizure of land
from middle-class peasants; trying lo
impose a state economy when 85 percent of the industries were privately
owned; the attempt to "put parly activists in opposition to the mullahs ," the
Moslem holy men.

Walter DeVries, a political consultant and director of the North Carolina
Institute of Politics, said: "Reagan is

not as popular among general election
voters as he is among Republicans,

He must say something different.

Rich Bond , the political director for
Vice President George Bush , took
quiet satisfaction Tuesday as he ticked
off the numbers on his loose-leafbound , computerized "national delegate status report" that put Bush over
the top for the Republican nomination.
It is a measure of the organization of
Bush's campaign that he won more
than the 1,139 delegates needed for
the nomination nearly a month ahead
of the schedule in the status report that
Bond delivered to the vice president
March 1.
On that day Bond told Bush and his
high command at a hotel meeting in
Greenville, S.C., that the race for the
nomination would be over by May 24.
Two weeks earlier , Bush had defeated Dole in New Hampshire, and
the vice president's managers were
certain they would all but end the
threat from Dole as they did on March
5 in South Carolina and on Super
Tuesday threedays later, and cruise to
the nomination.
In wrapping it up Tuesday, Bond
said, "Going back at least 20 years,
this is the earliest a candidate in a
contested nomination contest in either
party has gone over the top."
But even as Bush headquarters quietly celebrated, his strategists and
independent political experts warned
that several of the important factors

Decades ago, responsible adults
with little or no reading or writing
skills were quite capable of finding
employment and maintaining an
adequate family life.
Today, the situation is vastly different because an illiterate person in
the United Slates is illiterate largely
as an outcome from insufficient
educational facilities.
This problem is most visible with
older adults, so one would expect it
to disappear over lime. However,
the rate of time it is taking seems
much too slow.
The biggest concern today focuses mainly on the functionally
illiterate - undcrcducatcd persons
with a fourth grade level or below,
without the ability to read, write,
and do simple arithmetic.
EstimaUons on functional illiteracy have been based on school attendance records, thus only showing a proportion of the problem.
Other data has shown more than
10 million adults have completed
less than six years of schooling.
Functional illitera tes can be
grouped in four categories: 1)
people more than 40 yearsof age; 2)
people living on farms; 3) people

from rural backgrounds who have
moved to dues; and 4) migrant farm
workers and other deprived groups.
Improving levels of education is
the primary action for fighting illiteracy.
A good fundamental education is
imperative for even the least amount
of success.
Practically all job-training programs require some amount of reading and writing skills, which illiterates visibly lack.
Some literacy education programs have been initiated, but it is
still not enough.
According to a report done by the
Office of Education , of the 15,200
school systems studied , only 4,840
have reported any type of adult education program , and of these onl y
160, or 3.3 percent, offer instruction
in basic literacy education."
Despite the increase of educational program s, the problem of illiteracy is still too large.
The Advertising Council airs
various commercial messages
about illiteracy on television for the
public 's awareness.
The commercials let people know
that they can help fight illiteracy in
the communities by volunteering.
The commercials also let illiterate
people know they are not alone. Illiteracy is a problem involving more
than those who cannot read and
write. It hurls society because more
than 70 million people cannot contribute.
Final ly, and probabl y most important, illiterate people can never
realize how good life can be without
an education.

forTheVoice
Phi Beta Lambda (PEL) made a
social trip to Toronto April 23. and
24, 1988 where 42 members, nonmembers and an advisor could sight
see the fastest growing city in Canada.
Jon Goodman planned and organized the weekend. According to
Goodman, the trip was organized to
increase participation in PEL, experience a different culture, and have a
fun and relaxing weekend away
from college and work.
The eight hour trip brought the
students to the Quality Inn Essex
Park at approximately 12 p.m. on
Saturday. The afternoon was free to
spend exploring the city, and the
evening to experience the nightlife
and nightclubs in Toronto. Students
were free to sec anything and go
anywhere in the city. "It was a liberal trip with no restrictions," said
PBL member Wayne Johnston.
Some sights that were seen during
the day were the Eaton Mall, CN
Tower, the Parliament Building,
McClaughlin Planetarium , University of Toronto, and Exhibition Stadium.
In the evening, Mr. Crump 's, Pete
and Marty 's, PM Toronto, and Hard
Rock Cafe were popular spots for
entertainment.
Sunday included a ride to Niagara
Falls on the way back to
Bloomsburg .
Students enjoyed the falls, souvenir shopping, going up the Skylon
and looking out the observation
tower.
According to Ms. Kcil , an advisor
for PBL, this was the first social trip
of its kind planned by PBL.
Phi Beta Lambda is a national
business organization which offers
sludents a great opportunity to expand their knowledge about the
business world through membership.
The Nu Omicron chapter at
Bloomsburg has the largest PBL
membershi p in the nation with 223
members.
The response from studen ts who
went on the tri p was positive. " I
reall y had a good time," said Jill
SpriiiKinaii .
Possible social trips for next year
irmy include Washington/GeorHC I OWII and Boston.

Wage increase resisted

by Danial Nase
for The Voice
One year ago this month congressional Democrats, led
by Sen. Edward Kenned y of Massachusetts and Rep.
Augustus Hawkins of California, introduced legislation to
Congress that would hike the minimum wage by nearly 40
percent. The Kennctly-Hawkins bill would increase the
hourly wage from $3.35 to $4.65, within 25 mon ths.
But since its introduction , the plan has met with strong
resistance,from the Reagan Administration , many Republican legislators and business lobbyists .
Opponents contend that this bill' would reduce the
number of low-wage jobs available , especially part-time
work for teenagers. According to Labor Secretary William Brock , "We need to concentrate on how lo get our
teenagers into the work force rather than a new way to
keep them out. "
The feel the United States has been plagued by escalating unemployment rates for years, especially for the youth
and minorities. If Ihe wage goes up, less people will be
hired.
Mark A. Bernardo, law attorney for the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, states, "For every 10 percent increase in the
minimum wage, there is a loss of 50,000 jobs." His
statement was based on a study conducted for the Minimum Wage Study Commission of 1981.
To this day, many economists have backed up the
Commission's findings. One economist estimates that the
federal minimum wage increase proposed by the Kennedy-Hawkins index could go over S7 per hour by 1995.
Employees earning more than the minimum wage would
expect to get raises to maintain their historical differentials.

"It is unacceptable that the current
minimum wage does not permit
full time workers to provide the
bare necessities for their families"
-Sen. Edward Kennedy
If the increase is too drastic, opponents argue that the
value of the dollar will drop, and inflation could rise. They
believe a minimum wage increase would only have negative effects on this country, on its unemploymen t rate as
well as on its economy.
Proponents of raising the minimum wage argue that it
is a national disgrace for a person to work 40 hours and
earn only SI34 weekly, or 56,968 a year. According to
Sen. Edward Kennedy, "It is unacceptable that the current
minimum wage does not permit full-time workers to
provide the bare necessities for their families."
The minimum wage of S3.35 an hour , earned by nearly

3.5 million American workers has stayed the same for the
past seven year. They believe it is time for the minimum
wage to keep up with the cost of living increases..
Other arguing for an increase in the minimum wage are
organized labor groups. They feel that employers are not
always willing to hire and train inexperienced workers
because they believe their output isn't worth it.
They accuse businesses of supporting the current minimum wage because money can be saved on labor costs. If
they hire workers at such a low rate, they will avoid paying
a real wage to anyone.
For the most part, those workers earning the minimum
wage are young, about one-third are teenagers, and 59
percent are less than 25 years old. Many are students,
some of whom are classified in governmen t statistics as
head s of household.
Besides being the largest group earning the minimum
wage, the young are also the largest buy ing groups in our
economy. If the wage cannot be increased, it could mean
less spent on retail.
Therefore , opponents of the current minimum wage say
it could be damaging to the economy in die future.
Overall , a higher minimum wage could be vital to
American business. It would allow young people to enter
the working world earlier, without any fear of low wages.
A higher income will mean more dedication to work, and
in return , higher and better productivity.
Proponents of this bill argue that seven years is too long
for no change in the minimum wage. If these 3.5 million
people are to survive in today's world , they need this increase.

There is a third view in this debate over raising the
minimum wage. Some economists believe that both sides
arc looking at the wrong thing.
They believe a mandated raise for everyone is an
inappropriate way to help the distinct minority whose sole
livelihood is the minimum wage and public assistance.
They insist that there are only two alternatives in helping these low income people. The working poor can best
be helped by raising the federal earned tax credit. By
raising this , corporations would not be getting the various
tax breaks they are getting now.
The other alternative is the training wage. The Reagan
Administration has long advocated a lower minimum
wage for teenagers.
The training wage would lower, but it would apply to
any new worker, regardless of age. After several months '
training, the new worker 's pay would be increased to a
level that would reflect greater productivity.
Now one year later, the bill is close to being passed. But
there is still strong opposition.
Some economists feel thateven if it'spassed, the rateof
increase will not be high enough to go along with the
higher cost of living.

Moonwalk' answers questions about Jackson

By Richard Harrington

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Since Michael Jackson stopped
doing interviews, his public pronouncem ents have usually been limited to one long or two short sentences.
"Moonwalk," the 304-page Jackson
autobiography published last Monday by Doubleday, is a sweet substitute for all the questions folks might
like to ask him , although it provides
few real answers beyond what is already known. It's sort of a Nutrabook, one with an initial printing of
300,000 copies.
While "Moonwalk" reads very
much the way one imagines Jackson
talks (once one imagines him talking
at all), there are no potent revelations,

no hidden agendas and probably too
much emphasis on his recording
experiences and too little on his personal life.
Despite its size the book is, like
Jackson himself , impossibly thin: It
comes with lots of pictures, big type
and lots of space between the lines,
though one will be hard-pressed to
read anything between them.
In a sincere and often innocent
voice, Jackson chronicles his 24-year
show business career, he is now 29,
from the early days in Gary, Ind., to
his most recent album , "Bad."
There are some glimpses of the
man behind the shades, but seldom is
heard a discouraging word , even
when it comes to Jackson's firing his
father as business manager and leav-

ing his Motown mentor, Berry Gordy
Jr.
Although editor Shaye Arehart
must have worked hard to draw out
the details, the voice is very much
Jackson 's, candid if not revealing,
easily moved to either joy or sadness.
Among the more amusing incidents recounted:
The Jacksons, bored in their hotel
rooms during their early tours, would
engage in shaving-cream wars, drop
balloons and paper bags full of water
off their balconies and have huge
room service orders sent to strangers'
rooms. Years later, Michael would
start throwing S100 bills off his balcony to fans, after which his manager,
Frank DeLeo, would send security
guards down to scavenge in the
bushes.
Nine-year-old Michael jum ping
into a nightclub audience when the Ja
cksons were performing Joe Tex's
"Skinny Legs and All," crawling
under the tables and pulling up "the
ladies'
skirts to look under."
Karnes said that the reason she got

joyed meeting people.
And, being in a college town like have a pimple for every oil gland,"
Bloomsburg helped her make up her Jackson says of his 14th year, when
mind since there are a lot of younger his height also suddenly shot up. "I
became subconsciously scarred by
people around.
Karnes has taken the philosophy this experience with my skin. I got
that hard work and high goals are all very shy and became embarrassed to

to be successful.

Local stylist has
growing business

by Bob Nesta
f o r The Voice
More and more younger people are
making good money these days and
Stephanie Karnes is a prime example.
At the age of 21 she bought her own
beauty salon, Split Ends, which she
runs herself.
Born and raised in Bloomsburg,
she graduated from Central Columbia High School and later went on to
graduate from The Academy of Hair
Design Cosmetology School in 1986.
She then worked in a salon for six
months which led to the ownership of
her own salon.
Karnes worked hard during high
school by taking two part-timejobs in
order to save money for her salon , but
still had to take out a loan for the
purchase.
Karnes currentl y works 63 hours
every week and makes $500 a week.
Plans for expanding the shop and
adding two other operators, or
hairstylists is in progress.
Although she is making a good
amount of money, Karnes had set
higher goals for herself. She would
like to own a chain of Split Ends with
shops in New York , Pennsy lvania ,
Florida, California and New Jersey.
And even thoug h she has her degree
in cosmetology, Karnes would like to
go to hairdrcssing schools in London
so she can "learn something new."

His "first real date," with Tatum
O'Neal: "I fell in love with her (and
she with me) and we were very close
for a long time.
Eventually the relationship transcended into a good friendshi p ... she
was my first love, after Diana
(Ross)."
"My dating and relationships with
girls have not had the happy ending
I've been looking for," Jackson
writes.
"The things I share with millions
of people aren't the sorts of things
you share with one. Many girls want
to know what makes me tick, why I
live the way I do or do the things I do,
trying to get inside my head. They
want to rescue me from loneliness,
but they do it in such a way that they
give me the impression they want to
share my loneliness, which I
wouldn't wish on anybody, because I
believe I'm one of the loneliest
people in the world."
Later, Jackson insists he believes
in relationships.
"One day I know I'll find the right
woman and get married myself. I
often look forward to having children ; in fac t, it would be nice to have
a big family, since I come from such
a large one myself. In my fantasy
about having a large family, I imagine myself with thirteen children."
Earlier, talking about "Heartbreak
Hotel" and "Billie Jean," Jackson
says that although those songs

"seemed to cast women in an unfavorable light, it was not meant to be
taken as a personal statement. Needless to say, I love the interaction between the sexes; it is a natural part of
life and I love women. I just think that
when sex is used as a form of blackmail or power, it's a repugnant use of
one of God' s gifts."
The portrait of Jackson that
emerges from "Moonwalk" is of a
driven waif who vacillates between
grand artistic impulses and sharp
business acumen (he insists it was
Paul McCartney himself who suggested he invest in music publishing,
not realizing Jackson would eventually buy up the rights to the McCartney-John Lennon catalogue).
Outside of the pictures of Michael
and (fill in the celebrity), there is not
all that much name dropping: "Elizabeth Taylor told me she felt the same
way ... Marlon Brando would tell me
that people used to do that to him all
the time ... I had been wandering

around backstage, like the kid in the
Pepsi commercial."
Most of the time, Jackson is reverential toward his heroes, who range
from Smokey Robinson to Fred Astaire, to whom the book is dedicated.
Generally he seems more comfortable with, and trustful of, children,
who take him at face value.
As for the face, Jackson insists he
has never had his cheeks or eyes altered , his lips thinned "nor have I had
dermabrasion or a skin peel ... I have
had my nose altered twice and I recently added a cleft to my chin , but
that is it. Period. I don't care what
anyone else says, it 's my face and I
know."
As for the sunglasses and the occasional surgical mask, Jackson says
"there is so little privacy in my life
that concealing a little bit of me is a
way to give myself a break from ail
that. It must be considered strange, I
know, but I like my privacy."

By Mai Florence
Los Angeles Times
At the tables down at Julie's, long
identified as a hangout for University
of Southern California partisans, or a
similar gathering place frequented by
University of California, Los Angeles
supporters,power lunches are in progress.
The talk is often provocative, such
as,"Let'sbuyoutso andso'scoaching
contract so we can get the croquet
program back in shape."
Or, discussions concerning the university in question may deal wilh the
money package needed to hire a
coach, who will restore a particular
sport to a previous place of eminence.
Some of these people are organized.
They are members of booster, or support groups for USC and UCLA.
They donate money to the athletic
departments.
Some want to have a say in what
goes down.
Their donations are appreciated and
school administrators listen to their
opinions.
But they are not policy makers,
according to school officials, nor are
their donations accepted for the specific purpose of, say, hiring, or firing a
coach.
"I've never gone to the boosters for
money for coaches . and I've been (at
UCLA) for close to 40 years," said
Bob Fischer, a former Bruin athletic
director and now an adviser to the
athletic department.
There has been speculation that
some boosters got together with the
intent of buying out Walt Hazzard's
contract before the UCLA basketball
coach was fired.
"That has never happened here to
my knowledge," said Peter Dalis,
UCLA's athletic director. "I can guarantee you that the boosters are not
running the athletic department."
Dalis said, however, that money
could be specifically pledged to augment a coach's salary, but that that
donation would be used at the discretion of the athletic department.
As for money still owed on
Hazzard's contract, it becomes a
budget item. It could be paid off at the
regular rate, or a settlement could be
reached.
"That 's negotiable," Dalis said.
It is rare, however, that UCLA ever
carries a deposed coach on the books.
Hazzard was the first UCLA coach
fired , at least in a major sport, since
football Coach Bert LaBrucherie was
let go at the end of the 1948 season.
Billy Barnes, UCLA's football
coach from 1959 through 1964, didn 't
have his contract renewed.

Technically, he wasn't fired,UCLA
officials say.
Dalis said that the lion 's share of
operating the athletic department
comes from gate receipts, television
money and private donations.
Such booster clubs as Sportsmen of
the South , the Coaches' Roundtable
and Bruin Bench and Hoopslers are
the supporting agencies. Their donations, if itemized , are presumed to be
tax deductible.
Would their support go so far as
leasing a jet to fly Larry Brown to Los
Angeles and back to Kansas when
UCLA was negotiating with him for
the basketball job?
"The leasing of the jet didn 't come
from private donations," Dalis said,
"That was j ust the cost,of doing business."
It has also been speculated that
some coaches are provided with housing, presumably from boosters, as an
inducement to take a particular job.
Dalis said he had not been involved
in any such deals with coaches, adding
that the university has a program for
the recruitment of faculty that allows
for housing, for mortgage and relocations.
That program is available through
the chancellor's office.
"When you 're trying to hire some of
these doctors for a lot of money in
Michigan , or wherever, and you want
them to come to L.A., you've got to
provide them with some sort of housing allowance," he said. "We'd probably be eligible to talk to the chancellor
about that."
Fischer said he could only recall one
instance in which a coach was helped
with housing.
"That was after Brown was hired in
1979,"he said. "He had no idea where
he was going to live. So a number of
alums bought a house and rented it to
him. After he left , the house was sold
and that was the end of it. The alums
made a small profit , which was donated to the university."
There was a time, however, in the
'60s and '70s, when UCLA didn't
solicit financial support from booster
groups.
"It was against the philosophy of
J.D. Morgan," said Fischer of the late
UCLA athletic director.
" 'He who pays the piper calls the
tune,' as the old saying goes. J.D.
didn 't want any interference from
people who might say, 'We're kicking
in all this dough and we want to have
a voice in who the next coach will be.'
"It was a golden era then. We didn 't
have to share with the conference as
far as television money was concerned. The money we were getting

from the boosters was insignificant ,
and we didn 't need it.
"Pauley Pavilion was a gold mine.
We could bring in somebody and give
them a S10,000 guarantee and make a
profit of 550,000 for one game. And
we had 18 games.
"Then there was an inflationary
period from the late '70s lo the early
'80s, travel costs .hotels, and wehad to
go out and raise a lot more money."
Said Dalis,''Morgan didn 't need the
money. We only started raising
$300,000 to $400,000 about 1981.
Now we're up to $1.5 million annually. That puts us in the lower third."
USC, a private school , got a head
start on UCLA, a state school, in the
area of fund-raising through booster
clubs.
Nick Pappas, a former associate
athletic director and now a consultant
to the school in fund-raising, started
the network of Trojan Clubs.
From one club in 1956 in the downtown area, the Trojans have spread to
the suburbs, with 18 now in existence.
There is also the Cardinal and Gold,
whose members pay $1,500 a year for
preferred seating at the Coliseum and
some other parks.
Scholarship Club members, 70 at
the last count, practically pay for the
cost of a grant-in-aid, each with a gift
of$15,000.
An athletic scholarship at USC
costs the athletic department$16,800,
considerably higher than a grant-inaid at UCLA.
Then , there is the endowment project of soliciting funds for positions on
the football team.
That tab is $250,000 per position,
and Pappas said the 22-member team
was almost completed.
Boosters are involved at USC, but
Pappas said that their function was to
support the school, not to dictate pol-

"It is made plain to board members
ofthe Trojan Club and Cardinal and

Gold that you don 't hire, fire, or make
policy," Pappas said. "If you don 't
like it that way, your money will be
returned."
USC Athletic Director Mike
McGee said that virtually all of the
club donations were specified to support athletic scholarships.
As for operating costs of the athletic
department, football gate receipts and
television pay for almost everything
and support the non-revenue sports,
including the women's program.
Like UCLA, USC seldom fires a
coach before his contract expires.
When Ted Tollner was released in
1986, he was the firs t football coach
fired since Jeff Cravath in 1950.
USC reached a settlement with
Tollner,but alums didn't contribute to
his buyout , according to McGee.

"Peopledon 'tdonate to that,norhas
it been suggested," McGee said. "We
wouldn 't indulge in that."
As for housing, McGee said, "There
are arrangements in the profession
where universities will have certain
benefits for coaches.
Institutions have certain long programs for faculty and staff. But they
are not created uniquely for (athletic)
programs."
McGee has an advisory council on
athletics, but he said it's not a policymaking group.
"We share basically everything
with them. They're a response and
advocacy group, if they're so inclined ," he said.
"Even though they don 't make policy, we try to keep them apprised before policy is implemented."

FROM THE LOCKE R ROOM

Bloomsburg comeback falls short

It is that
time of the First inning rally carries
year again Mansfield over Huskies
Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

As the number 'of remaining issues of The Voice become smaller
and smaller, it becomes time to
once again hand out the Second
Annual FTL Awards for excellence
in Bloomsburg sports.
Last year's winners included
such performers as Mark Banks,
Rookie of the Year, Sue Kocher,
Outstanding Senior Athleleand Joe
Bressi , Coach of the Year.
So lo help sort out the entagling
web of exactly who did what this
year, I will get right to my first
award.
The Rookie of the Year
Award: This award was almost as
hard to choose this year as last year.
First there was Nina Alston and
Barb Hall who both had immediate
impact on the women's basketball
team, especially Alston , who made
the game exciting to watch , and
difficult for mc to broadcast. But
they didn 't win.
The name of Tracey Nilles came
across my mind because she is the
first three-sport athlete to play at
Bloomsburg in a long time. But it
wasn't her.
Kevin Reynolds and Craig Phillips had legitimate claims to the
award, but they didn 't win.
The award almost went to Lori
Shelly, who, in addition to playing
for the outstanding softbal l team
also was an oustanding goalie for
the field hockey team. Her cogoalie of sorts, April Koalar , was ac
close third.
The award went to a pair of
newcomers to Bloomsburg . The
doubles team of Lance Milner and
Roly Lamy were ranked seventh in
the nation and as singles players in
the top 40.
The two should be forces that
could hurtle Burt Reese into contention for Coach of the Year soon.
The Outstanding Senior
Athlete Award: Jay DeDea
almost won this award hands down.
but I was then reminded of a senior
on this year's softball team who is
having one heck of a season. She
also didn't have to bad a career with
the field hockey team in her four
years there.
A Division III All-American
field hockey player, owner of two
national championship rings and a
starter on the softball team , Cindy
Daeche goes far and beyond any
other athlete graduating this year.
Regrets to Shearer and Ippolite.
The Coach of the Year
Award: Just like lastyear, this was
probably the toughest category to
choose a clear cut winner.
Pete Adrian took his football
team to a 14th national ranking and
Joe Bressi set another school record for wins, beating the one he set
last year.
Charlie Chronister had another
winning season and captured his
300th career win in the process,
while Roger Sanders sent a schoolrecord ten men to the national tournament in Iowa.
And we cannot forget about
Sharon O'Keefe who qualified her
women's lacrosse team for the
PSAC playoffs for the third year in
a row.
¦ But this year, the award will be
split between two coaches who
have the most impact, one immediate and one over the duration , on
the sports that they coach.
Tom Martucci and Jan Hutchinson will share this award for the
1987-88 seasons.
Martucci for taking his club in
his first year as coach to a national
ranking of 19th andHutchinson for
losing but one game en route to
winning another national championship for the Bloomsburg field
hockey team.
That's the best of 1987-88 at
Bloomsburg and not surprisingly,
most are the best in the PSAC and
the nation.
Sure makes my job hard, doesn't
it?
