BU economics professor accepts national fellowship
by Michele Bupp
Staff Writer
A Bloomsburg University economics professor has accepted a National
Fellowship for postdoctoral work at
the Hoover Institution at Stanford
University, California , for the 198889 school year .
George B.N. Ayittey, an associate
professor at BU, is one of 12 college
professors chosen from across the
nation for research at Stanford. He
will receive a $25,000 stipend for his
work. He will resume teaching at BU
the following year.
In Ayittey 's topic with an economist view, "Developing Africa Using
Africa 's Own Indigenous Institutions," he hopes to solve some of the
problems of South Africa - such as
apartheid - by alleviating racial animosity between black and white
peoples. He believes that only freedom of expression will induce economic and social development.
They don 't give their own blacks
the right to vote in Africa. Only two
out of 41 black countries gave freedom of expression. So can we understand freedom?," he asked.
Ayittey pointed out Zimbabwe with
its violent revolution as an example of
what Africa might develop into if the
lack of expression continues which,
he believes, is indirectly causing
hatred among races and millions of
deaths from starvation. He explained
that starvation in the African countriesis unnecessary if the presidents of

the countries will invest their billions
to feed their own people.
"Four of the richest people in the
world have once ruled third world
countries. They are each worth over
$30 billion and keep acquiring more
(money). A small part of their booty
could buy grain to feed millions of

people, " he said.
He also pointed out that the "USA
For Africa" campaign in 1985, when
rock singers cut a song to help raise
money to feed the starving, raised a lot
of money but could not begin to feed
the starving billions.
Ayittey is attempting to thrust the
harsh realities of the economic
struggles and starvation in Africa , his
native land, into world attention.
"I don't think Americans are ready
for my views. But that is my crusade."
But Ayittey holds a never-say-die
viewpoint. Taped to a filing cabinet

alongside shelves of economics texts
is this quote, "....Don 't worry about
failure. Worry about the chances you
miss when you don't even try. (United
Tech. Corp, reprinted in the Wall
Street Journal).
Just recently though, he has gained
support for his views by publishing articles in numerous major newspapers,
and guest speaking at such prestigious
universities as George Mason University, Virginia. In July, 1986 he tesitified in favor of foreign investments
with developing nations at the U.S.
Congress, Washington D.C., at the
request of Congressman John Bryant,
D-Texas. This past February, Ayittey
spoke at the Secretary 's Open Forum
in Washington, D.C., about Africa 's
economic disaster and solutions with
fellow speaker and political satirist
Art Buchwald.
Ayittey was born in Tarkwa ,
Ghana, in 1945, and is the eldest of
three sisters and two brothers.
He yearned to travel and when he
completed his undergraduate work in
economics at the University of Ghana,
he received a scholarship which enabled him to attend the University of
Western Ontario to pursue a master's
degree. He then earned his doctorate
degree from the University of Manitoba, also in Canada.
Ayittey smiles when asked why he
majored in economics in college.
"Economics was my worst subject.
I concentrated on history in high
school and performed poorly in eco-

PLO chairman in Damascus
by Michael Ross

L.A. Times - Washington Post Service

Over the years, Yasser Arafat, the
politically acrobatic chairman of the
Palestine Liberation Organization has
managed to spring back from one
misfortune after another not always
landing where he wanted to be but
nearly always on his feet.
This week, in another swiftly executed politicalback-flip, Arafat ended
up in Damascus, the Syrian capital
from which he was ignominiously
expelled in 1983 after a bitter struggle
with Syrian-backed rebels in Lebanon
for control of the PLO.
The misfortune that bounced him
back there was the April 16 slaying of

the PLO's military commander,
Khalil Wazir, allegedly by Israeli assassins.
Wazir, better known by his nom de
guerre, Abu Jihad, was one of Arafa
t's ablest and most trusted aides.
When the Palestinian uprising in
the occupied territories began five
months ago, it took the PLO as much
by surprise as it did Israel. But due
largely to Wazir's efforts , the PLO
subsequendy assumed a prominent
role in the revolt, thus allowing it to
claim at least some of the credit for
posing a more serious challenge to
Israeli rule than it has ever been able to
mount through either terrorism or
guerrilla warfare.

nomics," he explained. Yet on his
high school exam, he did best in economics and poorest in history, so
economics became his concentration
in college. "It just came naturally," he
added.
He was always interested in seeing
the U.S. and accepted a three-year
teaching position at Wayne University, Nebraska. He began searching
for a teaching job on the East Coast
and found BU.
"When I' m in the Northeast I feel
closer to Ghana because there are
more African people here," he
explained.Yet, the professor reminds
people that Africa was not always an
oppressed nation and that social organization once flourished.
"Chiefs did very little to restrain
their people. They were using gold
dust for money exchange centuries
before the Europeans."
His dream is to help put Africa back
in its once productive position.
"But Africa will never be so happy
again without freedom of expression.
Something is wrong with the African
government. It 's a fact. Why
shouldn'11be able to say so without—
poof!—you 're dead," he says.
"Africa is so rich. We have gold,
diamonds, titanium. Still it is starving.
It makes me angry."
When Ayittey began voicing his
opinions, in the early 80's, newspaper
editors and officials did not agree or
disagree with him but simply ignored
him.

Not until he persistantly continued
to send his work to the Wall Street
Journal' s editor to consider his articles for publication , did he get noticed.
"He (the editor) would call me Friday at 7 p.m. and ask me to do quick
revisions. I did about nine revisions
for my first paper ("A Double Standard in Black and White", 22 July
1985). My social life was was ruined ,"
he admits with a smile, "but I established a contact. Now they call me."

nAfrica is so rich.

We have gold,
diamonds, titanium.
Still it is starving.
It makes me angry."
The killing and subjugation of innocent blacks, Ayittey believes, has
prompted world-wide pressure for attention and reform.
Cry Freedom, a movie attempt to
bring out the brutal violence against
blacks in South Africa , is labeled
"very powerful" by Ayittey.
"A feeling of degradation and oppression I felt was missing in the
movie." said Ayittey.
He attributes this loss to the author
of the book who had not direcdy suffered the violence in South Africa.

The author is white and was a
wealthy man in Africa. Ayittey asks,
"Can he be believable?"
When asked how crucial he thinks
discrimination against blacks in the
U.S. is, he agrees that both the U.S.
and" Africa are engaged in a struggle
for equality, but he says they are totally different struggles.
"In Africa the issue isn't racism, but
oppression. They (Africans) are
struggling for the basics—human
rights. I'm not trying to take away
from America 's struggle, but I don 't
feel as if it's as crucial as Africa 's."
Ayittey 's personal response to racism in the U.S. is "I present myself as
I am—a black man with an accent.
Take it or leave it. When people don't
accept me, I don 't conclude that they
are racist. It's too convenient an excuse for me and for many blacks."
When asked to comment on Rev.
Jesse Jackson becoming the democratic presidential nominee and/or the
next president.
He said that for a black man to even
be permitted to run for an office , particularly the highest office in a nation ,
is a great accomplishment
"Even though Jackson may not get
a nomination , he as come a long way.
That's saying something."
Ayittey plans to continue to bring
across his views of the crucial plight
of black Africans and possible solutions including writing articles for
media , accepting interviews, and
making euest soeaches.

Wazir's real importance, however,
lay in the role he played in managi ng
relations between Arafat's more moderate wing of the PLO and radical proSyrian factions.
He was instrumental in negotiating
a rapprochement that restored some
semblance of unity to PLO ranks last
year.
He remained, in many ways, a cornerstone in that organization's fissured structure.
His assassination thus creates a
vacuum in the PLO hierarchy and
pose s a serious challenge for Arafat,
How he meets this challenge in the
coming months, diplomats and Arab
officials say, may well determine
whether Wazir's assassination turns
out to be a crippl ing blow for the PLO
or equally a possibility, in the view of

Bloomsburg University Scholars
Program will continue in its third year
this fall in an effort to create a better
academic community on campus.
The program is offered to 20 freshman students of high academic
achievement who are offered $500
scholarships provided by the University Foundation.
These students are offered 24 cred-

its of special general education
classes for their first two years which
are selected by faculty. Dr. Harry
Ausprich instructed the Scholars Program public speaking class.
Dr. William Baillie, current director of the Honors and Scholars programs, stated that this program has
three goals, "First, provide greater
opportunities for advanced students
than they could get in regular classes.
Second, to establish a better learning

community, based on the idea of better learning in groups than by isolated
individuals. Third, to enhance the
academic atmosphere of the campus.
"The program 's success is evident
through the participation of Scholars
Program students not just within the
program but across the board."
The current year book editor,
Melissia Harris, andVoice news editor
Lisa Cellini are examples of involvement of scholars students on campus.

Punkers are people , too
by Sean Ryan
Guest Columnist
To whom it may concern:
Do you ever stop and wonder why
someone who walks down the street
with combat boots on is automatically
considered an outcast in society?
Or if the average (or should I say
not so average) person walks in for a
job, and is wearing (god forbid!) an
earring is considered an incompetent
fool incapable of holding down a
career for more than five minutes .
Why is it someone who listens to
Huey Lewis and The News is accepted more than someone who listens to the Dead Kennedy's?
Hey, it 's hip to be square?
Let me tell you, I'd feel much more
secure if Jello Biafra (lead singer of

the Dead Kennedy s ) was in charge
of my business, than Rick Astiey.
Hey people, wake up and smell (the
catfood in your bank account?) the
coffee. A human should not be judged
for what he or she wears, but what he
or she can do to benefit the society as
a whole.
This is the 80s, man . We are not all
people that enjoy short sleeve polyester suits from Kmart, or polo's or
Richie Cunningham hair.
We do not all agree there is a god , or
that money lead's to happiness, or that
BMW's are the ideal car. (I'd still
love to have a Volkswagen van personally.)
We all don 't agree to what society
thinks is acceptable. Believe it. There
are Anarchists out there who are more

than qualified to hold an executive
position in a company, (Oh , but you
won 't hire him because he has an
earring ), c'mon you Lee Iacocca's,
get a grip!
This is just one of the many long
haired earringed progressive music
lovers who feels that it's time people
are accepted for what they have accomplished , not hindered because of
the jewelry they wear, or because
they wear hardcore t-shirts, or holes in
their Levi's, or tie-dye's.
Let's start realizing that punkcr 's
are people too, and let' s throw these
first impressions out the window.

Dear Voice staff...

Editor 's note: Sorry folks. We 're a bit lacking in the ol' letters lo the ediior department. I suppose everyone
is content. They say no news is good news. So , instead of a letter to the editor , here is a letter from the editor:
Dear Voice Staff
Since I have this rather large block of white space to fill , I'd like to use it productively and tell you all something I probably should tell you all more often.
Sometimes it is truly amazing that we get this paper printed. When we sit down in front of our terminals Sunday
afternoon and Wednesday night with no stories, no pictures and no prayers, it tends to get discouraging. It hard
to make something out of nothing.
It 's also hard to take some of the criticism that we receive for things we do, or don 't do. Too many typos. Not
enough university news. Spelled someone 's name incorrecUy. Or just plain overlooked something that was very
important.
Yeah , a lot of times we piss people off , but what these people don 't realize is that our mistakes usually make
us angrier than they make others. Working 14 hours on an issue and finding a mistake in the top headline on the
front page tends to get a bit discouraging.
Sometimes it's even hard for me to understand why anyone would want to subject themselves to this kind of
torture only to hear what you did wrong and never hear what you did right.
But I guess the good outweighs the bad because we're all still here. While the rest of the world sleeps, here I
sit trying to fill a big block of white space. (And my professors wonder why I always fall asleep in my classes.)
What I am trying to say here is that your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated. You always come
through, no matter how impossible things get. I want you to know I am very proud of all of you for taking the
time to dedicate yourself to this paper.
What I want to say is thank you.

Beta 5 is the only non-organization

It was obvious we weren't a Greek

Non-pledges to Beta 5 must go
through a vigorous series of tests to
prove their apathy. First, the prospective non-brother or non-sister must
find the non-fraternity house. This
seemingly impossible task is but the
firs t of the secret tasks of initiation
known as the Three Things.
Second, the non-pledge must recite
all three verses of "I'm a Lumberjack" while sitting in a chair.
In the last and most grueling challenge, the person seeking admission
and allowed its non-members to to Beta 5 must state three uses for a

The endless quest for eternal youth

BOSTON — "I don't intend to
grow old gracefully. I intend to fight it
every step of the way." — Anonymous, 1988
This quotation may never make it
into Bartlett's. The author is not apoet
after all, but an unknown copywriter,
maybe a committee of copywriters,
who seek inspiration at the well of Oil
of Olay.
Nevertheless, it stuck into some
groove in my own brain, like a song
that you don't like and can't expel. I
cannot open a women 's magazine
without seeing this sentiment emanating from the well-contoured mouths
of arotating cast of models. "Growing
old gracefully" is apparently out of
fashion. It's an admission of a defeat
rather than a story of success.
What am I to make of this m essage?
The Census Bureau just announced
that the average age of Americans is
now a notch over 32 years old. The
first of the 75 million baby-boomers
have passed forty. Their mid-life is
marked by the emergence of all sorts
of products to help them "fight it

every step of the way.
There are more than the usual
number of unguents and elixirs that
promise to rub the age out of our skins
and preserve our energy, there are
more the usual products to cover gray
hair and fill in the face lines. There are
more than the usual admonitions to
leg-lift a path to eternally youthful
thighs.
Add to the list, Minoxidil fo the
bold, Retin-A for the wrinkled and
liposuction for the middle-age
spread. Those of us who once had two
scant choices — aging gracefully or
foolishly — are now offered a much
larger arsenal of weapons for the
battle against looking our age.
Men who would accept their baldness or risk the ridicule of a toupee,
now have the chance of growing hair
again. Women and men who had to
accept their crow 's feet or risk the
knife to retrieve their younger, tauter
skin can now chemically iron their
wrinkles.
In modest ways, aging has begun to
look like a personal choice. How far

are you willing to go stay the same?
When women over 40 get together
these days, there is often some bashful
conversation about Retin-A. Would
you use it? Would you? Among my
friends, one has had a vial of this
potion for months now, unused. It's a
security vial in some running internal
debate she has about wrinkles versus
side effects. And about aging gracefully.
Women of a certain age wonder. Is
Retin-A, like eye-liner, a cosmetic
chemical that merely makes you look
your best? Or is it a first seductive step
in some unappealing chase after
youth that conjures up the imae of an
octogenarian with platinum hair and
scarlet nail polish and her third face
lift? !
What of the other choices? Are they
the acceptable tools of self-improvement, or are they proof of self-hate?
If you don't color your hair and firm
your thighs, are you letting yourself
go? If you do, are you fighting —
gracelessly — against the inevitable,
the natural?

three) and someone notices, he or she
is admitted into the non-fraternity in a
secret ceremony known as the Sacred
Wearing of the Vulcan Ears. Once
this is over and the floor swept, the
new non-brother or non-sister is
awarded with their new name: John .
We wanted to have special nonfratemity names, just like the Greek
organizations, but it turned out instead of names like Binky and Wild
Toad, everyone wanted John. Somebody figured out that this would save
enormously on printing costs so it
became tradition.
If you would like to join Beta 5, the
meetings are not held in an undisclosed location on campus at a time
and date that haven t been decided
upon yet. Ten people are non-members as of this writing, and several
more have expressed disinterest towards joining.
Beta 5 has an official policy of discriminating against anyone who is a
member of any race, religion, color,
creed, sex, or sports team. In all actuality we don't care and we'll accept
anybody.
I'd like to close by sending a personal message to my little, John:
you 're about the most mediocre, dull
person I've ever met.
To the first non-pledge class of
Beta Beta Beta Beta Beta, I'd like to
extend these words of encouragement: well, who cares.

If I had a role model of an older
woman, it would look like Katharine
Hepburn or the artiest Georgia
O'Keeffe. It would not look like Zsa
Zsa Gabor. I note approvingly the
gray strands in Kathleen Sullivan's
hair. I have been struck by the strong
images of women in Lear ' s, the new
magazine "for the woman who wasn't
born yesterday."
But I don't know how Katharine
Hepburn feels when she looks in the
mirror of whether the women in
Lear 's harbor small vials of Retin-A
in their drawers. There is an ad in that
magazine that admonishes: "Take
control of your skin's age."
Clearly the money is in youth products. There is no way to sell selfacceptance. There may be a profit in
the natural "look" but not in nature.
As we are offered this expanding
array of weapons, we increase our
defense budget. And with each item ,
with each choice, how much harder it
becomes to negotiate a peaceful coexistence with our own age. How much
harder it becomes to age gracefully.

Noriega threatens
'true democracy '

by Dan Williams
L.A. Times - Washington Post Service
Ppposition leaders in Panama expressed worries Thursday about White
House willingness to let Gen. Manuel A. Noriega remain in Panama , even for
several weeks, if and when he finally relinquishes power. One said that his
continued presence here could block the transition to "true democracy."
The softening of U.S. conditions for Noriega's departure followed the failure of economic pressures imposed by Washington on Panama to drive Noriega out of power, as well as the weakening of strikes and protests directed
against him by domestic opponents.
Leaders of ppposition political parties and anti-Noriega civic movements
interviewed by the Los Angeles Times said that the military strongman 's
continued presence inside this country would cripple any future progress to
democratic rule. They fear he could continue to meddle in political affairs even
after shedding his uniform .
"Noriega's presence here could be worse than having Marcos in the Philippines," said Ricardo Arias Caldcron , leader of the Christian Democratic Party .
He was referring to former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who flew fro m
Manila into exile in the United States when he was overthrown in 1986 after
20 years of dictatorial rule.
Arias Caldcron added that even allowing Noriega to stay for several weeks,
once he resigns his command of the 15,000-mcmber Panama Defense Forces,
might backfire if Washington drops its economic sanctions first.
' It could be a catastrophe," he declared.
Arias Caldcron and other opposition leaders said that if Noriega stays, he
should face charges in Panama on a variety of alleged crimes, including
responsibility for the 1985 decapitation-murder of newspaper columnist Hugo
Spadafora.
Otherwise, the opposition leaders asserted , there could be no way lo
guarantee civilian control over the military.
They fear prosecution of Noriega would be blocked by the Defense Forces.
"For Noriega to remain in Panama mi ght mean that his cronies would keep
control of the military and protect him. And that would mean they would block
changes that would lead to true democracy," said Luis Casco Arias, an official
of the anti-military Molircna party.
Lita Arias, a leader of the National Civic Crusade, a business and trade
alliance that has spearheaded opposition to Noriega since June, declared: "If
he is somehow immune from prosecution in Panama , dicn our struggle will
have meant nothing. How will we guarantee lhat ihe courts will go after him
even if he is out of power?"
The change of policy in Washington came to light while a high-level State
Department official visited Panama to negotiate with Noriega. U.S. Embassy
officials said they did not know specifically what Michael G. Kozak , deputy
assistant secretary of stale for Latin America , and Noriega were discussing.
Kozak's current Panama visit was his second in 10 days. He has been
involved in several months of talks aimed at getting Noriega to step down.

songs than they did last March.
Living Earth is a veteran of the
Philidelphia club scene, headlining
clubs such as The Ambler and Chestnut Cabaret ' s and also the Chameleon
in Lancaster. The band has a reputation for filling up clubs and making
the people dance their way through a
set with ease.
"Whatever the stuff is that makes
the Dead 's sound special is what we
try to capture every time we
play...every song is like an improvisational journey on stage," said Bob
Stirner, lead guitarist of Living Earth
m a recent interview.
From personal experience I find
this band about as close as one can
come to seeing the Dead in concert.
They are a very tight improvisational
band , just like the Grateful Dead.
What makes improvisational bands
interesting is the way they communippwM ^

¦

cate on stage with one another. They
never do a song the same way twice.
Living Earth is a treat to see as they
can play great versions of songs from
the Dead 's play list, but specialize in
recreating the sound the Dead had in
the early 70s. Living Earth rocks
through songs like "St. Stephens",
and "The Eleven " as well as
"Dupree's Diamond Blues". These
are songs which the Dead play very
rarely in concert.
As a group, Living Earth feels that
they are more than a cover band. Bob
Stimer commented, "We're a copy
band in that we do the Grateful Dead ,
but we don'treally copy them because
nobody can. We only interpret them.
Their music is not something you can
copy because it is improvisational by
nature. A lot of it has to do with
spontaneity. We try to play more than
their hits and play what an average
'Deadhead' would want to see in
concert.
Even people not familiar with the
Grateful Dead 's music can appreciate
Living Earth for their rhythm , and for
the musical craftsmanship they present on stage. May 6 should prove to be
an enjoyable Friday afternoon as the
last day of classes and a chance to
dance to a great act,Living Earth.

L.A. Times - Washington Post Service

In the latest action in a seven-weckold legal battle between teen pop
music star Tiffany and her mother , a
Los Angeles Superior Court judge has
removed Janic C. Williams as trustee
of her 16-year-old daughter 's
$100,000 trust fund.
Though all proceedings in the case
have been closed and most courlfiles
scaled , Williams and her attorneys
outlined a series of closed court sessions for the Los Angeles Times that
have occurred during the past month ,
culminating in an in-chambers session with Judge Kenneth Black
Wednesday.
Black named the Bank of California
and the accounting firm of Prager &
Fenton as trustees of Tiffany 's trust
fund at the same time that he removed
Williams as trustee.
Black also boosted the percentage
of Tiffany 's record earnings lhat must
be held in the trust fund from 30 percent to 50 percent and authorized the
new trustees to make income tax
payments out of the account. As record royalties and concert earnings
pour in , the trust fund is expected to
grow well beyond $1 million , according to Williams' attorneys.
Williams maintained in statements
to The Times and in court documents
that Tiffany and her manager, George
Tobin, have moved inexorably toward a complete break with Tiffany 's
immediate family since William s first
reported to the Norwalk, Calif.,
sheriff's station March 9 that her 16year-old daughter was missing.
I felt that George wanted all the
control and Tiffany went along with it
because she had her dream of being a
star and he (Tobin) could give it to
her ," Williams said. "I was never in-

«MnnmKnHHnn»i

troduced as Tiffany 's mother. I was
never introduced at all to anybody of
any great importance. George didn 't
want anybody to know I was Tiffany 's
mother."
In a declaration submitted to the
court, Mrs. Williams outlined sever al
incidents in which she alleged that she
was shunted aside by Tobin.
Tobin was not represented in
Wednesday 's proceedings, however.
Tiffany hired John Frankenheimer
of Loeb & Loeb three weeks ago to act
in freeing her finances from both her

mother and her manager, Tobin.
The mother-daughter schism came
to a head March 9, when Tiffan y did
not come home from Tobin 's recording studio in Los Angeles. Shortly
after Williams filed a missing person
report with the Sheriff' s Department,
Tiffany called the Norwalk sheriff' s
station and protested that she was not
a runaway.
She filed a court emancipation action the following week under a littleused section of the California Civil
Code that sometimes allows minors

many people have not forgotten. "

Skateboarders find
taking risks a thrill

by Stacey Sell
for The Voice
They come from all walks of life.
They are young, old , rich and poor,
educated and uneducated . But they
all have one common bond. They are
united by a 30 x 10 inch piece of wood
mounted on four wheels. They are an
obsession on wheels. They arc skateboarders.
A person and his board arc like a
master and his dog. Like a dog, a
person 's board is always loyal. The
board never quits; never lets the person down , and will be ever present
The skater realizes this and in return
pushes beyond personal limits. Each
skater 's board is like no others, it is a
unique expression of that person 's
inner most thoughts.
There are m.inv places a person can
go with the skateboard to play; on
half-pipes, in empty and fogottcn
back yard pools, or just on the street
But the avid skateboarder is not confined to these areas, his imagination
and spontenaity can take him anywhere from schoolyards and parking
garages to rooftops.
To many, the most exciting form of
skateboarding takes place on the halfpipes. These are enormous U-shaped
wooden structures, usually about 10
to 11 feet in height and topped with
one or two feet of sheer vertical .
The skater 's idea of fun is probably
most peoples ' idea of work. He will
take board and body, and push to the
limits of exhaustion. A day on the
half-p ipe will include numerous eggplants , a few Madonnas, and grinds
and aerials of all kinds. These tricks
defy gravity and keep the rider on the

edge of disaster. To the skater, this is
done all in fun.
"The whole thrill of skating ramps
(half-pipes) is knowing that you 're
always on the edge and that you have
to be confident in what you are
doing ," says Pat Andrews, a junior at
Bloomsburg University.
But before the skater can play,
preparation for "battle" must take
place. The skater protect the body
from head to toe with dense padding
covered with plastic to protect the
knees and elbows. The hips are protected with a thin padding, so as not to
hinder movement The tops of his
shoes are covered with a thick layer of
duct tape or leather to prevent getting
splinters during a fall on the halfpipes.
Most important of all is trie r.elmet,
also known as a brain bucket, which
protects the rider from serious injury .
With all of the gear securely attached,
the skater seemingly resembles the
knight of the 80s prepared to battle his
wooden adversary, the monsterous
half-pipe.
At first appearance, the skater may
seem like a strange breed, a loner
perhaps. Actually, skaters are much
like wolves, because they remain in
packs.
Where you find one, you will find
others. Wild and ferocious, they will
skate, one at a time, tearing up and
down a ramp while others eagerly
await their turn.
As the day comes to a close and the
sun goes down , the skaters all go
home and talk of the days events and
think of the challenges that tomorrow
will bring.

Q UES T off ers leadership experience

If outdoors, people, and extended
adventures raise your interest, maybe
you should check out the Summer
internships that are available to all
students through QUEST putdoor
Adventures.
According to Barb Lake, program
director for QUEST, "The interships
can be molded to emphasize the area
each person is most interested in. If
someone is interested in the planning
and managing of the organization ,
they arc able to spend more of their
internshi p doing these kind of
things."
Lake says, "The internship is also
an excellent opportunity for those
people interested in education. There
is much to learn about communication and leadershi p that can be applied in the class room . The experience from these outdoor activities
can also be helpful in teaching anything from geography and geology to
physical education."
The QUEST intership works in
conjunction with a number of academic departments of Bloomsburg

University . The intership is a great
way to get experience working with a
variety of people in a variety of situations, and also can become an Outdoor Leadership and Program Administration Career Concentration.
This means that the credits earned
through this internship can be applied
toward a certification equivalent to
that of a minor in outdoor recreation.
One of last summer 's interns,
Linda Badami , especially enjoyed
learning how to do activities and then
later become the leader in them.
Badami says, "I not only learned how
to rock climb and tc do the high ropes,
but I also learned how to teach these
courses. There are also many other
things I had an opportunity to learn
about. In past classes I learned concepts about communication, but with
QUEST I had hands on experience. I
also learned about logistical planning, and about personal development as a leader."
Dave Roberts, a BU biology major, interned with QUEST two years
ago and says, "I got to know myself

through self experience. I also
learned a lot about leadership and
about organization , which are things
I use everyday." Roberts added , "I
gained long range goals from
QUEST. During my internship I enjoyed working long hours outside ,
and in my biology research, the
same sort of thing will be required.
Now I know that I like it."
"Actually, you don 't have to have
only one purpose or goal in mind ,"
adds Badami. "You usually change
your goals through the course of the
internship, and no matter what the
experience, or where it takes you ,
you will use it everyday of your
life."
Badami recalls one particularly
rewarding experience that she will
always remember. She says, "It was
one day that we had a rockclimbing
course, where one participant and I
really clashed. I was at the top as a
belayer (safety assistant), and soon
this man got stuck on a climb. He
kept saying he was sorry, and just
held on for a time try ing to figure out

what to do next. After a struggle, he
began to climb to the top. First I saw
his helmut rise above the rock. Soon it
was his face. As he climbed all the
way up, he ran over to me, and we
hugged. He was so exposed and raw!
It was wonderful that he was so
happy, and it was I, (as safety assistant) that made him feel safe enough
to make it to the top."
Badami says, "you become a successful leader when you guide someone to find itin themselves to succeed
in something."
Rodgers says, "good candidates for
the internship would be people who
like the outdoors, like interacting
with others and are willing to learn
somethings that they thought they
already knew."
If you are interested in experiencing and participating in the QUEST
Summer intership program, contact
Barb Lake at the QUEST office located in Simon Hall on the
University s campus.
The phone number there is 389
4323.

Alpha Phi Omega. No, it 's not
another newly formed Greek organization. As a matter of fact, Alpha Phi
Omega has been an active campus
organization for over 20 years. In
spite of this fact, most people do not
know who they are or what they do.
Alpha Phi Omega, founded in 1925
at Lafayette College, is a national
service fraternity with over 350 active chapters throughout the United
States. The Xi Lambda chapter at
Bloomsburg University was founded
in 1963.
The organizations is based on the
beliefs and opportunities provided by
the Boy Scouts of America. It's three
cardinal principles are Leadership,
Friendship, and Service.
Cindy Mcintosh,presidentof BU' s
chapter says, "These three things
build up character in a person.
Through these things we become
aware of the needs of others. The
leadership prepares us for when we
graduate."

Corey Wert, treasurer of the organization, agrees.
"Being a service fraternity is good
for people, especially those who are
going to be dealing with others. I'm
and education major, which means
when I begin leaching, I'll be serving
people every day of my life," Wert
saus.
Membership is open to all members of the university community.
Membership is granted to an individual who goes through a period of
pledgeship, meetingspecific requirements of the National Fraternity and
by this chapter as well. Wert, who
went through pledging this semester,
says that the requirements are not that
difficult.
Mcintosh agrees with this, remarking that they only have to know things
that will most likely be used by them
in the future. Learning the history
and getting to know the brothers is a
large part of pledging.
Mcintosh says that, unlike social
organizations, A-Phi-O (as they are
frequently called) accepts everyone
interested in joining. Each person in
the organization is different from the
other. "Different is good," she says,
"We're always changing. Each time a
new pledge class is added , the organization changes. As of now, A-Phi-0
has 20 active members, 14 of which
were inducted this semester."
Since A-Phi-O is a service frater-

nity, they haveparticipated in a large
number of service activities
throughout the years. They have
held a bowl-a-thon for the American
Lung Association, ushered for the
BTE, and visited the children's
hospital. This semester the members participated in helping with the
Red Cross Bloodmobileand moving
the local Head Start program to their
new location. The organization will
also be doing painting for Community Services and will be aiding in
clean up after the Renaissance Jamboree.
"In November, we also have what
is called a National Service Day,"
says Mcintosh. "It's a day that 's put
aside for all chapters to do some sort
of service work. That way we're all
doing something on the same day."
A-Phi-O is committed not only to
serving the campus and community,
but also to serving each other as
well. Mcintosh explains, "As brothers, they all accept each other for
what they are. There is a special
bond between everyone that helps
them to work together."
Wert adds that they are there as a
brotherhood of friendship. "If a person is down, or if they have a problem, another brother will always
help them. Or even when there's not
a problem for that matter," Wert
says.
A total of 10 service hours are

required by each brother per semester. That is less than one hour per
week. Service hours can be work, but
most people are just happy to be there
and are glad to be helping ..." Wert
says. "It's that special bond when
we're working together that makes it
fun ," says Mcintosh.
As for social activities, most brothers are friends and get together often .
There is also an annual Alpha Phi
Omega Pizza Pig Out, as well as a
banquet and a picnic. Fund raisers are
also a part of the organization 's semesterly agenda.
This coming fall and next spring,
the BU chapter will be celebrating its
25th anniversary.
Anyone interested in pledging this
co-ed fraternity "should come to the'
rush meeting in the fall and find out
what we're all about,"says Mcintosh.

You have heard of the "Cola Wars"

Listening important

by Staci Wilson
for The Voice
"Nobody 's listening to me!" All
too often we find ourselves saying
this. Why aren't people better listeners? How can a person improve this
important communication skill?
Listening is not just hearing. To
actually listen to a person, the listener
must hear with attention. This however, is not an easy thing to do.
People don 't listen well for a variety of reasons. Often , the listener is
preoccupied with personal concerns
or the person may think he/she is
listening when actually they have
tuned out the message because the
subject is too familiar or too complex
for the listener. And many peoplejust
don't know how to listen.
While the speaker is only able to
speak at 100 to 140 words per minute,
the listener is able to understand 600
words per minute.
Many people use this extra space in
their mind to daydream, to think
about personal interests or to plan a
reply to the speaker. To be a good
listener, this extra time should be
spent trying to understand what the
speaker is saying.
Active listening is a concept that
incorporates this idea of understanding in its philosophy. In the listener's
response to a message, the active listener rephrases briefly what the
speaker has said for clarification.
Active listening takes the burden
off the listener because by rephrasing
what the speaker says the listener can
be assured that he/she has understood
the message. If the message is repeated inaccuratel y, the speaker

knows there has been a misunderstanding.
Communication skills were studied by Larry Barker in 1981 for his
book Listening Behavior. Above all
other skills, listening occupies 53
percent of a person 's time, followed
by reading at 17 percent, speaking at
16 percent and writing at 14 percent
of a person's time.
So, if so much time is spent listening, how can people become better at
it? There are four ,ways to improve
listening habits.The listener should
focus on the present message of the
speaker. If the mind wanders, successful listening has ended.
Suspend judgement on what someone is saying until the person is finished speaking. If the listener prejudges the communication, he or she
will have biased ideas on where the
conversation is going.
Listen to what is not being said and
watch what gestures are not being
made. The tone of a speaker is important to what he or she really means. A
sarcastic or sad tone and eye contact
or lack of it often says more than the
actual words.
After the speaker is finished talking, check listening accuracy. This
requires the listener to check to see if
he or she understands what the listener has said by using active listening.
To become a good listener, a person must practicejust like in any other
learned skill. It is, however, impossible to be a good listener all of the
time, but imagine how many conflicts
can be avoided if people began to
listen to what they only now hear.

The pizza industry is accomodating demands for variations of the
traditional pizza pie. Hawaiian, barbecue, Mexican , and pita pizza are
just a variety of the number of gourmet pizzas evolving. Vegetarians
want three kinds of mushrooms and
kids want extra , extra cheese.
Although thetwo major contenders
are notmaking major changes in their
pizza toppings, they are however,
adjusting their strategies.

Domino's Noid is a dwarfish claymation figure, closely related to the
dancing raisins in the California raisin advertisments, who wreaks havoc
with the competitors' pies.
High jinks from Pizza Hut include
the MacKenzie Brothers and thenpizza raids to comedian Roseanna
Barr who refuses to allow her husband to "graze" at the salad bar while
her family enjoys a "hot, steamy,
cheesy pizza. . . Get real!"

Their latestattackpIanusesRich Hall
and the Mobile Institution for Pizza
Studies who venture from state to
state examining the habits of pizza
eaters.
The war has no end in sight, but the
results of the battle are quality pizzas
with clever advertising. So while you
sit back enjoying your pizza, the
battle continues.
Remember, you may determine the
victor.

Co-op programs provides learning in a work environment

by Marcie Abruzzese
for The Voice
Cooperative Education , Co-op, is a
work/study program that gives students the opportunity to learn about
specialized areas and gain practical
work experience.
"Co-op is a relatively new program
at Bloomsburg," said Ruben Britt, director of the Cooperative Education/
Internship Placement Programs.
The program has been in effect
about three and a half years. Part of
Brill's job includes developing ihe
Co-op program and increasing opportunities for internships.
"Co-ops provide hands-on experience. It tests the student's strengths
and weaknesses as well as building
confidence and providing valuable
contacts," B*ritt said.
Nationally, 62 percent of Co-op
graduates receive job offers from Coop employers. The fi gure for
Bloomsburg is slightly lower, Bri tt
said , but the opportunities in this area
are expanding rapidl y.
One recent graduate that co-opted
for PP&L is now employed by that
company as a systems analyst. Another graduate co-opted for the Department of Transportation , but chose
to take an appointment with Shell Oil.
"The Co-op made her more marketable," Britt said. The experience may
be a deciding factor in some cases.

In addition to these long-range career possibilities, Co-ops provide
another short-term advantage. Financial assistance is a major advantage
because the student is paid at a competitive level. This is one difference
between Co-ops and internships,
which often do not provide compensation.
There are other several differences
between a regular internship and the
cooperative education program .
First, Cooperative Education consists of at least two job assignments
during different semesters. One option includes alternate semesters of
full-time university course work with
full-time on-the-job employment.The
other consists of part-time course
work and part-time, on-the-job employment.
The Co-op experience may be preferred by employers because of the
extended work period. Also, a distinction will be made on academic transcripts. The office is in the process of
getting a course number for the Co-op
number. Presently, transcripts list the
experience under the course number
for an internship.
The program involves three departments — history, biology and math/
computer science. There is hope that
at least two more departments may be
added by the end of the year. Because
the program is subsidized by the fed-

eral government, each participating
department is given $3600 for the
year to develop the program.
Students interested in partici pating
in the Co-op program should contact
the internship advisor in the appropriate department for information. Each
department has its own eli gibility
requirements.
According to Britt , positions arc
available in various areas. Generally,
placement is in the Philadel phia , Harrisburg, Allcntown , New Jersey and
Washington areas.
"There is a strong interest by the
student body," said Britt. "More than
10 percent of the student population is
involved in field experience, not including the nursing and education
programs."
The participation level is up 39
percent from last year alone. For the
moment, Brill has opted to limit his
job development responsibilities in
order to place the influx of applicants.
"I'm glad lo sec the interest. I hope
it increases," he said.
This year, there has been more
openings than there have been students to fill them. One reason is that
most students elect to Co-op during
the summer so that it will not put back
their expected date of graduation.
"There is more competition for
positions during the summer than
during the rest of the year," said Britt.

The latest project underway includes Bloomsburg , Columbia University and Clark Univeristy in Massachusetts in a joint venture with the
Smithsonian Institute.
• Once the program gets approval,
students from one of these schools can
submit an application for a Co-op to
the Institute which will give them an
edge over oilier applicants. The work/
study will begin under the history
department and may expand to include the biology department.
Brill 's office provides more than

just placement. Aid in writing resumes, the dos and don 'ts of an interview and simulating mock interviews
are additional services.
Once an interview has been set, the
students can also get information on
the prospectiveemployer. After some
initial training, the student is given job
responsibilities.
"Once the supervisor sees the student is acclimated to a certain job, he/
she is given more responsibility," said
Britt.

China 's 'Cultural Revolution '

An experience remembered

by Weiwei Cal
for The Voice
Writer ' s note: In 1966 the Cultural
Revolution took place in China. The
cultural , economic and productive
forces of ihe country were destroyed.
Schools were prevented from teaching classes and workers were idled.
A11 people wereforced to be part of the
"revolution ." Beginning in 1968, students were sent into the countryside to
do farm work. The "revolution " did
not end until 1976.

"How many drops are beiTig eaten
up?" she asks herself. She begins to
count the bubbles of rain drops and
forgets about reading thep icturebook.
She wants instead to walk through the
rain-bubbles in her bare feet. Rain
comes from the Dragon King, she
thinks, doesn 't it? It could be cleansing and lucky to walk through it.
But she doesn 't go out, fearing reproach from her parents for her health .
Instead , she simply sits and watches.
This story took place many years
ago. Ten years later, during the Cultural Revolution , on a summer day
most young people who came from the
city did not like rain in the country of
Shanxi , a province of China. "It has
been raining 11 days now," I said
aloud to myself, sitting on the Kang a brick and clay platform used for
sleeping - in a house made of clay. It
was a very small house with room only
for the Kang. It was so muddy everywhere outside that I had to spend the
entire 11 days inside.
There was nothing to do, not even
any books to read. All books had been
taken away by the Red Guard and were
damaged except for Mao Tsetung's
wnungs.
There was nothing to eat. I had used
a handmill and ground maize into
flour before it started raining, but there
wasn't very much of it Who would
have guessed that the Dragon King
would want to give the world so much
rain? And the millstone was so heavy.
In this house there lived three little
girls who were separated from their
family.
They were very hungry and decided
to go some place to get something to
eat. There was a com field two kilometers from the village. The girls went
there to get some corn without regard
for their safety because they might be
beaten if they were caught. They staggered back to their home of clay. The
rain never stopped. "I hate rain, I'm
bored stiff with it," one girl complained. The colorless lines of rain
continued streaming down. They were
like my life: without hope, no future,
without love and warmth .
I spent seven years at that place. I
was only 14 when I first arrived there.
In the middle of the 1970s, I returned to my hometown of Beijing, the
capital and biggest city in China.
I sat on a bench in a winding corridor
of the Waterside Pavilion of Zhongshan Park which was shrouded in rain.
A small lake was in view. I had no
dreams left, even though I was still
young. I felt that my heart was already
very old, and I wanted to go into that
lake and find another world.
Rain could perhaps cleanse me;
water could perhaps cover my loneliness; the Dragon King mi ght give me
a place to stay which wasn't made of
clay.
I looked away from the lake. I saw a
woman in a blue skirt and pants standing near the lake. She seemed to penetrate the thick, colorless lines of the
falling rain. Although she held a black
umbrella, her face gave out the light
and color of youth, even though my
world was so dark.
She struck my perplexed heart. A
very young and attractive yet unhappy
woman, who would stay in this world.
She could receive much love from
others, I thought.
I saw myself as part of her. A little
light appeared in the sky as I watched
her. Gradually, the thoughts of the
Dragon King faded.
I look out of the window as sun rays
shine through layers of clouds and the
rainbow appear in the sky. The colorful leaves of the trees are deeper after
a rain shower.
The bird is singng and is perched on
the tip of one tree. I stand on the soft
carpet in my room and say softly to
myself, "The rain has stopped, but I
am so very far from my home."

write. In the leaves of a tree outside, a
bird is shaking the drops of rain from
its wings. It is shaking itself violently
as it chirps incessantly.
The rain continues to fall , and I want
to take the bird into my room, but it is
too far from my reach. Watching the
bird and listening to the rain takes me
back in time.
A little girl sitsin a winding corridor

Soviets, Americans have trouble seeing eye-to-eye on INF
by R. Jeffrey Smith

L.A. Times - Washington Post Servhe

The Reagan administration , in a
move that could complicate Senate
approval of the Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces (INF Treaty, has complained that Soviet officials are backing away from several agreed procedures for verifying compliance with
the pact.
Officials of the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow protested to senior Soviet
foreign ministry officials Thursday
that two positions recentl y taken by
ranking Soviet officials on the pact's
verification are contradicted by the
terms of the agreement and a record of
the negotiations that produced it.
The dispute concerns issues described by a State Department official
as "technical , but important" to ensuring that both nations have equal rights
to inspect sensitive military facilities
associated with the weapons banned
by the pact, which President Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev

signed last December.
One dispute involves Whether U.S.
inspectors can peer inside containers
at designated Soviet weapons facilities that are at least 8 feet long, as the
administration claims, or those that
are at least 21 feet long, as the Soviets
claim.
The second involves whether U.S.
inspectors can wander into areas,
which the Soviets claim are off-limits,
of three facilities out of 133 in the
USSR that are covered by the agreement.
State Department officials expressed confidence that the dispute
will be resolved without difficulty
because the INF Treaty language
supports the U.S. position and Soviet
officials so far have not insisted on
maintaining their view.
The U.S. officials are concerned,
however, that any delay in resolving
the matter could cause the Senate to
defer its expected approval of the
treaty until after Reagan meets with

Gorbachev in Moscow at the end of
May, denying the two leaders an opportunity for joint, public celebration.
The dispute became clear several
weeksago during private,U.S .-Soviet
discussions to lay detailed groundwork for the myriad, unprecedented
inspections permittedby the INF pact
Brig. Gen. Roland LaJoie, director
of the U.S. On-Site Inspection
Agency, disagreed when his Soviet
counterpart, Maj. Gen. Vladimir
Medvedev, said the United States
could not inspect certain areas of three
designated Soviet facilities. The Soviets had shaded these areas in maps
supplied in the final days of negotiation.
LaJoie and others, including several members of the U.S. negotiating
team, reminded the Soviets that the
INF treaty gives inspectors "the right
to inspect the entire ... site" at all 133
designated Soviet facilities.
U.S. officials also challenged
Medvedev's assertion that the U.S.

Com& join the? f u n and eotcitement of

GREEK WEEK

inspectors could only peer inside
containers, structures, and vehicles at
the facilities large enough to contain
full y-assembled Soviet mediumrange and shorter-range nuclear missiles , instead of individual missile
stages as the United States has insisted. The difference is roughly 13
feet in length , according to a list of
missile characteristics the two sides
exchanged last year.
The treaty states that inspectors can
look inside containers "whose dimensions are equal to or greater than the
dimensions specified...for the missiles, stages of such missiles, (and
missile) launchers or support equipment."
U.S. officials said Medvedev argued that since Soviet missile stages
can only be assembled at a single,
inspected factory with elaborate
equipment, looking elsewhere for
anything smaller than a fully-assembled missile is pointless.
"Our basic feeling is that they are

right," a senior U.S. official said
Thursday, "but we cannot be in a
position of trusting) them."The official added that the issue was "one of
reciprocity," since the treaty allows
the Soviets to peer inside containers
large enough to hold even a single
stage of the U.S. Pershing II mediumrange missile.
Unlike Soviet missiles,'the Pershing II can be assembled in the field ,
and the Soviets claim this makes the
task of verifying that its stages are not
being surreptitiously produced
uniquely challenging. But at the end
of the most recent discussions,
Medvedev indicated he understood
the U.S. position and did not insist on
his own, according to one informed
official.
There was no immediate Soviet
response to the U.S. protest in
Moscow Thursday.
Meanwhile, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sam Nunn,
D-Ga., expressed confidence Thurs-

day that a separate INF issue, involving elimination of medium-range
ground-launched cruise missiles, can
be resolved by a written,binding U.S.Soviet side agreement that would
accompany the treaty.
The issue is whether the treaty
covers the elimination of cruise missiles arrr.ed with futuristic technol-.
ogy, such as lasers, microwaves and
other exotic weaponry. Although U.S.
and Soviet officials have publicly
agreed it does, Senate Majority
Leader Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, Nunn and others contend there
are ambiguities on the issue that must
be resolved before the Senate acts on
the treaty.
But Nunn said Thursday that he
believed the problem could be resolved without holding up consideration of the treaty, as early as May 9.
Nunn 's comments followed an intelligence committee briefing by military and CIA officials on verifying the
ban on futuristic cruise missiles.

OAS and AID officials said they
have been unable to agree on the
ground rules for how the $10 million
is to be spent. "We hope to break this
deadlock by early next week,"an AID
official said.
The dispute could hold up the flow
of nonlethal aid to Contra troops inside Nicaragua if negotiators for the
rebels and the Sandinista government
reach agreement this week after resuming talks yesterday on how to
implement the 60-day cease-fire accord that was signed in Sapoa, Nicaragua on March 23. U.S. nonlethal aid to
Contra troops inside Nicaragua cannot begin until both sides agree on
how cease-fire zones, called for by the
Sapoa agreement, will operate.
But AID, administrator of a $47.9
million aid package that includes the
nonlethal Contra aid, last week began
food shipments to Contra camps inside Honduras. The deliveries have
triggered protests from the Nicaraguan government and Baena Soares,

m part because the commission is not
yet functioning and able to inspect
deliveries. Thursday, AID also
launched air shipments to Contra
camps in Honduras near the Nicaragua border, flying in an estimated
20,000 pounds of food in addition to
about 70,000 pounds trucked in last
week, according to AID officials.
In a letter to Secretary of State
George P. Shufcz earlier this week,
Baena Soares said the shipments were
in violation of the Sapoa cease-fire
accord.
AID officials have said they began
the shipments because Contra troops,
have been without U.S. aid since late
February and need food.
The officials confirmed that a Honduran air cargo company hired to fly
the nonlethal shipments in Honduras
has made a small number of supply
flights to the Contras. The officials
said the firm , Circle G, is a private
business and is not secretl y owned by
the Contras or the U.S. government.

Nonlethal aid to Contras
causes concern, dispute
LA. Times - Washington Post Service

A dispute between U.S. officials
and the staff of the Organization of
American States (OAS) has held up
the operation of a commission that
was expected to play a crucial role in
administering a new nonlethal aid
program for the Nicaraguan Contras,
U.S. and OAS officials say.
The commission, which is composed of Cardinal Obando y Bravo,
the Roman Catholic prelate of Nicaragua, and Joao Baena Soares, secretary
general of the OAS, is supposed to inspect shipments of U.S. aid to the
Contras to confirm that no military
supplies are delivered.
But the panel has not begun the '
inspections because $10 million in
U.S. funds earmarked for its work is
held up by the dispute between OAS,
which plans to do most of the

and the State Department's Agency

Arab-Israeli conflict won 't be
resolved. TV broadcast claims

by Dan Fisher

L.A. Times - Washington Post Service

Symbolizing the erosion in the last
few months of what little common
ground had been established between
Jew and Arab during a century of
struggle, a two-foot-high wooden
fence stood at the center of a Jerusalem stage one morning last week.
The fence separated Palestinian and
Israeli panelists who participated in a
"town hall" meeting arranged by the
producers of ABC's "Nightline,"
which was being broadcast live to the
United States.
It was demanded by the Palestinians as a condition of their participation - a constant reminder that although they might agree, reluctantly,
to appear, they were there to address
an audience thousands of miles to the
west, not the panel of Israeli politicians a few feet away.
To some who have watched the
growing desperation of the conflict on
both sides since the beginning of the
Palestinian "intifada," or uprising,
last December, the wooden fence
might have been a memorial to the
dream of coexistence between the
estranged peoples who jointly inhabit
the Holy Land.
Seldom have Jews and Arabs alike
been so embittered toward each other
and so forboding in their assessments

of the future. If the dream of coexistence is not dead, they say, it is at least
in intensive care, badly in need of
some redefinition that will give it new
hope.
Coexistence, one Palestinian journalist said, "is a myth invented by the
Israelis. And the Arabs pretended to
go along with it for their own purposes. In a city like Jerusalem, coexistence was a public relations business
rather than reality."
Wrote Jerusalem Post columnist
David Krivine: 'The old-time Utopian
dream of two communities living
together in peace and harmony is
shattered beyond repair."
Even Cabinet Minister Moshe Arens, whose rightist Likud Bloc is seen
as the chief defender of the status quo
in the occupied West Bank and Gaza
Strip, wrote in another column in midApril that "next to nothing" has been
done during the yearsof Israeli rule in
the territories to establish good relations with the Arab residents.
"Just about the only significant
connection existing between them
and Israel these past 20 years has been
the daily entry of about 100,000 Arab
laborers into the Israeli economy to do
the work that Jews were not ready to
do," Arens wrote.
But since the intifada began, even
that tenuous economic connection has

Impasse yet to be admitted

from page 8
negotiate, the owners would consider
"a number of options and concepts."
He did not elaborate on what those
might be.
Union officials have concluded that
they cannot win free agency at the
bargaining table are willing to risk any
terms the owners might impose in the
interim.
Culverhouse said , "maybe at some
point we'll agree there's an impasse.
Then we can consider exercising our
rights under the law to implement
changes in the existing system or
adopt a new one."
Under an impasse the owners are
free to impose the terms of the last
offer at the bargaining table.
It would seem unlikely that the

owners would make any public acknowledgment of an impasse, however, until Doty ruled on the union 's
preliminary injunction request.
Culverhouse said the NFL owners
were confident the Minneapolis court
would approve the freeagency system
now in place.
Under it, a player can change teams,
as Marshall did when he jumped to the
Redskins, but his old team has the
right to either match the offer or be
compensated.
The union argues that the compensation requirement in effect bars free
agency.
Legal sources familiar with the
union 's antitrust suit said it was un
likely Doty would grant the preliminary injunction.

They said it would be easier for the
court to first hear the union 's case and
then , if it ruled in the players' favor , it
could assess damages against the
owners.
If a preliminary injunction was
granted and then the union lost the
case, they said, it would be almost
impossible to undo the damage.
One source who has been following
the NFL situation in recent months
said Judge Doty probably would accept the NLRB declaration of an impasse and then proceed with the antitrust case.
Before free agency could be
granted , he said , "The judge would
have to find the league committed an
antitrust violation , and that's no easy
step."

ATTESTTIOST:

Kelly Cuthbert had six major contributions to the victory over Franklin
and Marshall that guarenteed the
Bloomsburg University women 's lacrosse team its first ever winning season in the 12 year existence of the
sport.
It was Cuthbert who scored six
goals herself to lead all scorers in the
11-9 win over theDiplomats.
Bloomsburg shot out to a 6-4 lead in
*(or equivalent degree)
the first half of their game on the
strength of Cuthbert 's scoring.
Franklin and Marshall matched
Bloomsburg in the second half, with
each scoring five , but was unable to
muster any more of an offense.
Bloomsburg's defense stymied the
entire offense of Franklin and
Marshall by allowing theDiplomats to
get off only 14 shots.
By comparison, the Huskies rattled
off 30 shots on the goalie tandem of
Liz Eide and Lori Kester for Franklin
and Marshall.
They responded well to the task and
turned away 13and five of those shots,
respectively.
Goalie Ruth Doyle for the Huskies
was the author of six saves as she was
aided by her team defense tremendously.
Besides Cuthbert's six goals, five
other Bloomsburg players netted
goals for the Huskies.
Chris Scavo, Nancy Warmerdam,
Betsy Warmerdam, Chris Pierie and
Lisa Rhodes all scored lone goals in
the well-balanced offensive attack.
On the Diplomat side of the ledger,
it was Marcia Gayoos leading the
scoring with five goals.
Karen Weiner netted two goals and
Tina Stathis and Steph Kate each
scored a single goal in the losing effort.
The victory put the Huskies at 6-4
and assured Bloomsburg of thier first
winning season in their 12 year exsistence.
Bloomsburg, who qualified for the
Pennsylvania Conference Championship playoffs for the third year in a
row, will begin those same playoffs
this Friday at Shippensburg.
They play Millersville at 3:30 and
the winner will play Shippensburg,
Saturday at 2:30.

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

The right
time to go
Mike Mullen
Sports Editor

What do Penn State, John
McEnroe and Tony Frecre all
have in common?
Absolutely nothing except
that they have all appeared at
one time or another in one of
my columns under the heading: From the Locker room.
As all things must , it is time
for FfL to come to an end.
Two years is along time
and , for some tilings , way too
long. I have been Sports Ediior
of The Voice for exactly thai
amount of time and feel that it
is time for mc to step down.
This decision has nothing to
do with the threats on my life
after my column about all the
Philadelphia teams.
Rather , it is time to allow
some new blood in ihcofficc
and get some new opinions in
the air.
I am sure that everyone is
sick of my Penn State columns
by now, as well as my Big East
rantings and ravings.
Still , there have been a few
columns that I will remember
wilh a smile.
First there was my "I low wc
measure success," aboul the
runner-up field hockey team.
Then there was the column
about high school football.
How many people remember
the story I told about the senior
(Tony Frecre)who went in and
caught the game winning
catch in The Big Game as lime
ran out, only to do it with a
broken hand?
Or what aboul the one about
the unrul y fans at high school
basketball games and how
they were ruining it for the
kids?
Then there was the one that
took the most effort to write,
the column dealing with prcgame prayer and how a young
student in Georgia was getting
even wilh a small town by
taking his case to court.
He won his case, but in the
long run , wc all lost.
I have also gone out on a
limb in some of my columns
by making a prediction here
and there and , most of the
time, being right.
Penn State fans can attest lo
the column that said in December lhat Penn State would
beat Miami Jan. 2 and Dave
Sauter would cal his words.
You are also reading the
column of the man that called
Miami's win over Oklahoma
the year after that.
Of course, I have had my
misses.
Who could forget my prctournament pick, Syarcuse,
falling just one point short of
making me a sage.
I picked Tyson over Holmes
in six and Washington over
Denver only I thought it
would be a close game.
However, my most memorable column had lobe the one
where I picked Sugar Ray
Leanord to not onl y go the
distance with Marvelous
Marvin Hagler, but also take
his belt.
Noone can ever say I didn t
because I have it all in
print...somewhere.
Maybe someday, Penn
State will win another
championsip or John McEnroe will return to tennis or
Tony Freere will make another game-winning catch ,
this time in college.
And when they do, I'll be
waiting, in the locker room of
course, to tell you what I
thought about it all.
Until then, see you at the
Penn State games.

NFL Players Association
scores a major victory
If the union wins , it would mean the
Washington Redskins would not ha ve
to give the Chicago Bears two firstround draft choices for signing linebacker Wilber Marshall. Union officials said that might be academic,
however, since the Bears already had
used one of the choices in last week's
draft.
Richard Berthelsen, counsel for the
NFLPA, called the ruling "very gratifying " and said he hoped to have a
preliminary injunction as soon as
possible to give the players a chance to
seek free agency before the opening of
training camps in early July.
The effect of Thursday's NLRB
ruling was lo unlock an extremely
compl icated legal situation that had
barred the union from pursuing an
antitrust suit.
After returning to work, the union
filed a federal suit against the league in
Minneapolis late last year. At the time,
it asked U.S. District Judge David
Doty to grant a preliminary injunction
against the league because an impasse
had been reached in negotiations for a
new contract. So long as it had a valid
labor contract, the NFL was exempt
from antitrust law on the free agency
issue.

Cicierski breaks the
school discus record

Kevin Krane had a good day against Joh n Hopkins on Sunday. The Huskies split
Photo by Rob Sammann
with them and evened their record a 17-17.

Bloomsburg University discus
thrower Jill Cicierski broke the school
record of 130 feet, one inch in the track
team's competition against the Millersville Metrics Saturday.
Cicierski threw 143 feet, 81/2
inches to exceed the old Millersville
Stadium record by 13 feet, 31/2
inches.
Cicierski's throw placed her first in
the discus competition.
Cicierski also placed fourth in the
shot competition with a 37-foot-oneinch throw.
In other women's track action,
Deanna Brown took second in the 100
meter high-hurdle with a time of 15
minutes, six seconds.
Brown also placed fourth in the high
jump with a 5-foot-2-inch leap.
Lynne Ritz took first place in the
100 meter with a time of 12:71 and
second in the 200 meter with a time of
25:93.

Lisa Virus placed fifth in the 200
meter with a time of 26:29.
Laurie Alexander and Brenda Bissett also took fifths in their 3,000 and
5,000-meter events with times of
10:50.88 and 18:34.6, respectively.
In men 's action, Stan Share placed
second in the 10,000 meter event wilh
a time of 33:31.5.
A fifth place in the 5,000 meter was
taken by Mark Elsasser in 15:41.4.
The BU Huskies took fourth and
fifth place in the long jump competition when Carl Wiggins covered a distance of 21 feet, 10 inches and Randy
Rulapaugh performed a 21-foot-7inch leap.
Both university teams will prepare
to participate in the PSAC Championships at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
The competition is scheduled to
begin Thursday, May 5 and conclude
Saturday, May 7.

But Doty said he would not rule on
the union 's request until the NLRB
determined whether an impasse had
been reached. The ruling Thursday
allows the union to go back to court
immediately.
John Jones, a spokesman for the
NFL Management Council, said he
did n ot expect the owners to appeal
the general counsel's ruling. The
owners have one week to decide
whether to appeal to the NLRB's
Office of Appeal.
Hugh F. Culverhouse, chairman of
the executive committee of the manag

Thursday warning that if the union did
