Student work-study cut

By Michelc R. Bupp
Staff Writer
The Financial Aid Office at
Bloomsburg University has announced a nearly 50 percent cut back
in federal monies for student workstudy this year.
Most students who have qualified
for federal money in previous years
are now receiving a portion of the
monies or have been eliminated from
the work-study program.
The cutback is taking place in other
colleges and universities across the
country, in addition to Bloomsburg .
The qualifications for state workstudy has not been changed .
According to Tom Lyons, Director
of Financial Aid , the federal government has altered its elig ibility requirements which allow students to obtain
federal money for working on campus. It is now beginning to affect
Bloomsburg and its students.
"Reagan began making these cuts
little by little in the past eight years,"
Lyons says. "Now the student is personally feeling the impact of the cuts

in financial assistance for education."
Accord ing to Lyons, borrowing
from banks and other financial institutions has increased drastically this
year than in the recent history of the
school as an effort for students to pay
their school bills.
But the students are not the onl y
ones suffering from the decrease in
work-study clegibilily .
Academic offices which thrive
from student assistance to type, photocopy and answer phones for professors, have noticed a drop in the number of students applying for positions.
They are attempting to compensate
for the drop by increasing the hours of
the few students qualified for federal
aid.
Lyons explains that the federal dollars are available to pay the students ,
but there are few students eligible for
it.
As a result, the money will remain
unused at the present time.
The crisis is worse for the Kehr
Union because nearly all functions of
the student union are opera ted pri-

marily by students.
Mrs. Purcell , manager of the information desk in the union , is concerned
that she may not hire enoug h students
to work the desk.
"Telephones arc the big thing," she
says. "Wc have several phones that
need to be answered during all-parts of
the day. That 's what we're here for."
Pa/cnts of students are expressing
their concern and disapproval of the
work-study cut-backs.
The Financial Aid Office is being
flooded wilh calls asking for explanations about the cut-backs and possible
alternatives to obtaining funds to pay
for college.
Eligibility for federal and state
work-study is based upon the student
and the student 's family estimated
income tax form of the past year.
If a student qualifies, the federal
government allots the student a certain
amountof money which is based upon
the information in the tax form . The
student may work for the money but
may not exceed the determined
amount.

Critical problems currently faced
by the mass communications department and students in the major were
discussed during a meeting yesterday
called by the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the department chairperson.
The meeting took place in Haas
Auditorium with more than 100 mass
communications students and department faculty members present.
Two professors voiced negative
views of the administration 's handling
of mass communications program
since its inception two years ago. Dr.
Dana Ulloth pointed out lhat the understaffed department of six professors falls far short of a national average of 10 full-time professors in the
mass communications departments at
other universities.
Ulloth stated, "We are far behind
the national standards in terms of the
number of professors in the mass
communications program."
Although two full-time professors
were acquired during a nationwide
search this summer, the department
is still in need of a full-time instructor
for the advertising and public relations
sequences.
Dr. Tamrat Mereba was hired as a
professor but was asked to fill the
department chair after chairperson
Professor John Maittlen-Harris
stepped down to pursue his doctorate
degree. Mereba will serve as interim

chairperson for one year unul a new
chairperson is found.
"I am doing all in my power to make
things easy. Mass communications
has never been a problem-free area,"
Mereba said.
Dr. Teresita Mendoza was also
hired as a tenure track professor in the
department
One of the major controversies
aired at the meeting was whether
advertising, one of the department's
main sequences, has been dropped
from the program.
Dr. Walter Brasch stated that the
faculty recently made a decision to
drop ihe advertising sequence due to
the lack of instructors.
Baird announced that he was unaware of any formal decision on the
fate of the advertising track and had
not received written notification of a
faculty decision at the time of the
meeting.
He guaranteed that students currently enrolled in the major will be
able to complete requirements in order receive their degrees on time.
Despite the lack of classes and
competition for the seats available,
Baird was able to add Publicity and
Public Relations and Advertising
Media and Campaigns at the last
minute.
Mass communications students
will be able to add these classes today
by contacting their advisors and the
registrar's office.
Baird stated, "Despite the lack of
core sequences needed by students,

there are options available for students
to receive credit for classes not offered before the time they expect to
graduate through substituting internships, independen t studies, and individual instruction if a student can find
some one to teach them ."
According to Baird, mass communications is not the largest major in
numbers but is the mostpopular major
in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"There are some 200 students in the
major but we could easily have 400
plus," he said.
Another problem pressing the department is the large number of students who have taken mass communications classes that have not officially
been accepted to the major. Approximately 70 students in attendencchold
a large number of credits working
towards a mass communications degree but have not been officiall y accepted in the major.
Baird advised students to check
wilh their advisors lo make sure that
they are enrolled in the major. He
stressed that the department chair
must inform students whether they
will be admitted into the major. The
status of these students is currently in
limhrv
When asked about alternatives the
large number of sophomore and j unior
level students not in the major have if
they are not accepted , Baird replied ,
"The students not enrolled in the major will have to find a major in another
department lhat is suitable or consider
transfering."

Approximately 30 members of
Bloomsburg University 's newly
formed Drug and Alcohol Task Force
committee met last Thursday at 3:30
p.m. in the McCormick Forum to discuss the growing concern of alcohol
and drug abuse among college students.
The task force is charged with developing polices and procedures that
promote an environment that is supportive of the academic mission of the
institution and that upholds the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Jennie Carpenter, Director of Residence Life and chairperson to the task
force began the meeting by stressing
that it is "vital" for student input to be
a part of the task force. Carpenter
encouraged members to invite students who show an interest to be on a
subcommittee, remarking that while
faculty input is strong, "student representation is still short."
Carpenter 's role as chairperson is to
help acquire materials and publicity
and answer questions posed by the

sub-committees. Of the task force
Carpenter said, "I don 't think I' ve ever
served on a committee with such a
strong sense of support from Dr
Griffis and the president (Dr.
Ausprich)."
Carpenter will be aided by senior
Dawn Grubel, who has done extensive
reading on alcohol and drug abuse.
Grubel will be responsible for sending materials to the appropriate committees.
Next, reemphasizing the importance of the task force, Dr. Jerrold
Griffis , vice-president of S tudent Life
remarked that the most important issue he was going to focus on this year
was drug and alcohol awareness.
Griffis said the need for awareness
stemmed from many changes, including changes in underage drinking
laws, hazing laws, and groups such as
Mother 's Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) becoming more active.
Griffis commented that he has "never
seen this kind of wave come acroos the
country" and added that Bloomsburg
Universities vote can count. "A lot of
other institutions would love to be

where we are," said Griffis.
Griffis also stated that expectations
for Greek units on campus will be discussed at a meeting held next Thursday so that "the organizations know
what is expected of them between now
and next spring.
Currently three out of the eight
fraternities at Bloomsburg University
are on probation , with a fourth fraternity facing a hearing.
Since one committee can not deal
with all of the issues concerning drug
and alcohol awareness the following
subcommittees were formed and are
outlined below.
ASSESSMENT SUBCOMMITTEE- To assess the awareness, attitude and behavior of the campus
community regarding the use and
abuse of alcohol and other drugs; establish procedures to collect alcohol
and other drug information from the
campus law enforcement; health services, counseling services, disciplinary
records and Residence Life incident
reports that may beused in developing
policies and educational programs.

Showers pledges to
support education

by Dawn M. D Aries
News Editor
State Rep. John Showers announced last week that he would seek
a position on the state education
committee if elected to state senate.
Showers, D-Ncw Berlin , is running
against incumben t Sen. Ed Helfrick ,
R-Bear Gap, in ihc 27lh Senatorial
District .which stretches from Sclinsgrove th rough Berwick and includes
Bloomsburg University, Buckncll
University, and Susquehanna University.
Showers announced his commitment to state education while touring
Bloomsburg University last Thursday, saying that education is one of
the keys to unlocking the full potential of this area.
"To turn opporlunics around we
have to invest more in public education so as to open more, new economic
opportunities ," Showers said. "I, as a
senator, will have to make sure a lion 's
share goes into education."
Dr. Oliver Larmi, Professor of Philosophy and Anthropology and co-

chairperson for the Faculty
Association 's Committee for Action
and Politics, introduced Showers to a
group which included University
President Harry Ausprich and explained the committee's support of
the Showers campaign. .
Larmi said the Showcrs-Hclfrick
race is receiving national attention
because the current slate senalc republican dominance is threatened by
Showers' candidacy.
Showers, an eight year veteran of
the state legislature, has not focused
on education during his term. However, he has served on a number of
House Committees, including the
lucal government committee, finance
commiltce, and agricultural committee.
When questioned as to his previous lack of education support , Showers rcplied ,"I'm looking for some
new areas to direct energy. I want to
focus on education as a senator. The
public is getting to recognize the
importance of education in society
and in ihe commonwealth."

develop a policy that addresses both
individual and group behavior and includes all campus property; is consistent with federal , state, and local laws;
establishes guidelines on marketing
and hosting events involving students,
fac ulty, staff , and alumni at which alcoholic beverages are present; develop procedures for articulating the
policy to all members of the university
community, parents, alumni, and the
local community.
EDUCATIONAL SUBCOMMITTEE- To develop an educational program that provides accurate, curren t
information on alochol and drug use
and abuse for students, faculty, and
staff to assist them in detecting alcohol and drug related problems; support the establishment of a referrel
system for persons with these problems; support the inclusion of alcohol
and other drug education into the curriculum.
ENFORCEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE- Establish procedures to insure
all policies concerning drug and alcohol use are articulated clearly to the
university community; insure policies

are consistently enforced; insure that
enforcement procedures are consistent within the university and uphold
federal and state law; establish disciplinary sanctions that are appropriate
for alcohol and/or drug violations and
for the illegal sale or distribution of alcohol or drugs.
Director of University Relations,
Sheryl Bryson said that others will be
following our example to see how and
what our task force is doing and commented that it will be "the focus of
attention of a lot of media."
Members of the committee remarked that although some students
might see the task force 's objective as
trying "incringe on their social life",
the group 's goal is for alcohol and
drug awareness to become widespread.
Carpenter expressed that , "Times
have changed , the world has changed
, and laws have changed and it is time
to look at things like that."
For those interested in submitting
materials or in joining the task force,

Task f orce addresses stu dent concerns

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Ch ief
Five text book thefts were reported
to the University Law Enforcem ent
Office during the first two days of
classes, according to Assistant Director of Law Enforcement Deborah
Barnes.
Two more have been reported during the past week. Barnes said the
number of thefts reported is unusually
high the first few days of lire semester.
Most of the books were taken from
the Scranton Commons during meal
times. One theft was reported by a
professor who had books removed
from his office.
"Theft is one of the biggest problems we have," Barnes said. "There is
usuall y not this many the firs t week of
classes, though."
Responsibility is the best way to
prevent becoming the victim of theft ,
Barnes explained.
Students should not be so trusting.
Also, they need to be more responsible
for their things," she said.
Stolen books can sometimes be
traced by the University Store at buyback time. The identification number
in the front of the book can be used lo
identify stolen books.
However, Barnes suggests that students choose one page in a textbook to
put some type of identifying mark,
whether its a social security number or
a name, so the book can be easily
identified.
"We have made prosecutions in the
past, but it 's tough ," Barnes said. "I
know books are very expensive and I
hate to see people suffer."
Barnes also suggested that students
take advan tage of the lockers available in the lobbies of the Commons.
Each lobby has 90 lockers where students can slore their bookbags while
eating.
t m not sure whether there are
enough lockers available for everyone
but the ones available should be used ,"
she said.
The lockers cost twenty-five cents
to use and the quarter is returned when
the articles are removed.
Although no residence hall thefts
have been reported, Barnes suggests
that residents take precautions and
keep Iheir doors locked when they arc
not in.
"Through [he year wc will have
reports of thefts in the dorms," Barnes
said. "In the past we've had jcwlery
and cash stolen , among other things .
Cash is especially hard to trace."
According to Barnes, taking precautions and being aware and responsible arc the best ways to protect oneself from theft.
"This isn 't like being at home," she
said.

At a theater near you...
bland , poorly-made film.
The best idea , money-grubbingwise, is to take components fro m
previously successfu l movies and
combine them into something trul y
banal. I' m now working on the script
for "The Data Processing Kid".
This is the story about a young teenager who is constantl y teased by the
fraternity computer nerd athletes because he doesn 'i have any computer
skills.
He meets an old Japanese systems
analyst who teaches him the ancient
Oriental art of Iy-Bicm-U.
Various warm and sensitive scenes
portray the two preparing for a big
compute r programming match to be
held in Malibu during monsoon season under Soviet supervision.
"Now!" shouts the old Japanese ,
teaching his young apprentice the
mystic ways of the keyboard. "Use
the default parameters , young Toad!"
"I can ' t , master!" cries ihe boy.
"It 's loo hard!"
You must learn to control your
fears . Make your soul one wilh the
math co-processor. Use your inner
eye to mani pulate all those expensive

What with the rising costs of education and declining wages for archcriminals, I realized lhat I needed to
come up with a few million dollars in
the near future.
The easiest way to dig up that much
lolly is obviously through the movie
industry.
It apparently doesn 't take much to
make a hit movie. For an action-adventure flick , all you need is a hero
who can run within inches of exploding mortar bombs wilhout suffering
so much as an earache from the concussion.
If it 's a comedy you 're after, you
can use the same plots (and much of
the same dialogue) that television
situation comedies have been using
for 30 years and no one will notice except the reviewers.
You don 't even have to pay to advertise a movie anymore. If you
choose a topic that is controversial
enoug h , ihe newspapers will be filled
with debate s over whether or not your
film should be banned , even before
filming begins.
The free publicity will guarantee
capacity theater crowds for even a

special effects. Press the 'escape '
key."
"I can 't, master!" sobs the kid. "It's
still too hard!"
From there the film proceeds to a
freak accident in the nuclear laboratory next door that sends the two back
in time lo meet Jack the Ri pper, but
while returning in a home-made
sports car the kid and the old master
enter a black hole and switch bodies.
Plenty of laughs when the master,
stuck in the kid' s body, has to go
grocery shopp ing for the kid' s mom
while the kid in the old man 's body
tries to trim some bansai trees.
Things straighten out by the final
scene, thanks lo the interference of a
lovable bung ling/detective/merccnary/wizard , and the Data Processing
Kid wins the programming competition in Malibu just in time for the wet
T- sh irt contest and an invasion of funloving aliens wearing hockey masks
and carry ing chainsaws.
It 's a real famil y picture. I hope
you 'll sec il when it comes to a theater
near you , so I can finance my next
film: "Bikini-Clad Warrior Maidens
from Rhylanor Seven , Part III" .

The value of doing being useless
CASCO BAY , Maine — The tide
has come in and filled up ihe cove. A
fat , fuzzy bee has worked the lasi rosehi p flower in fro m of ihe cottage. I
have been sitting on the porch all
morning, sitting and watching.
It has taken me days to come down
to this speed, to this morning of utter
inefficiency. Only now am I finally,
truly, totally unproductive. Able to
just sit and watch.
This has been a rushed , hig h-priority, overnight express, FAX-it sort of
summer. It has been as scheduled as
the airline timetable I carried in my
pocketbook.
By the lime I left Ihe city and office ,
I had reached a peak of impatience:
The money machine at the bank
seemed torturously slow. The traffic
was impossible. The long-distance
number that I had to re-dial was annoying. Too many digits.
Without actually knowing it, I had
upped the quota on my own production schedule. It had begun to seem
important to do two things at once. To
relurn calls while unloading the dishwasher. To ask for the check with
coffee. To read a magazine in the

checkout line. To use rather than
waste time. The pace of work had
taken over the rest of my life.
Now I look at newspaper photographs of Michael Dukakis speedwalking with reporters at his side,
accomplishing two tasks at once —
aerobic interviews — and I am
amused. Somewhere, surely, there is a
commuter learning Japanese on the
way to work. A child is being carpooled fro m one lesson to another by
a parent worried about being late for
gymnastics.
Sitting here , idle at last, I am finall y
conscious of the gap between being
productive and simply being. At the
wonderfu l, sensual luxury of being
useless. And its rareness. Do we need
vacations now to leam how to do
nothing, rather than something?
In front of mc, the sides of an orchid-like wildfiowcr open and close
in the breeze like some cartoon mouth
from a Disney character. I am amazed
at the orange freckles that line its
yellow throat. It is a wonderfully
complex creation. I remember the line
that accompanied that lush exhibit of
Georgia O'Kecffe 's paintings last

winter. She wrote once: "Still—in a
way—nobody sees a flower—reaily it
is so small— we haven 't time—and to
see takes time, like to have a friend
takes time."
Time. It is the priority and the missing clement in our world of one-minute managers and stress clinics. But
the artist knew it wasn't possible to
sandwich in an appointment for
awareness (from two to three this afternoon I will pay attention to the
poppies) or to make friendship more
efficient. They usually lose in the race
of workaday life. Americans waste in
their lives. Five years waiting in lines.
Six month s at traffic lights. Eight
months opening junk mail. The average married couple spends only four
minutes a day in meaningful conversation. If only our tasks could be accomplished more quickly, the researchers suggested , we could have
more hours for the things and people
we loved .
Perhaps. But I am not convinced
that inefficiency is our problem. Instead , it may be the passion for efficiency. The solution to the time
crunch is not to move at a higher

speed. It is too hard to shift out of that
list-making, speed-thinking, fullthrottle life to idle, the gear of human
beings. The faster we try to move , the
further wc get from the rhythms of
friendshi p and flowers.
When we rush through errands to
clear small blocks of free time for
ourselves or families , we may end up
rushing through that "leisure" time as
well. In our most productive mode we
are the least open to that slow , subtle
pace of caring.
The great myth of our work-intense
era is "quality urne.""We bclicve tiiat
we can make up for the loss of days or
hours , especially with each other , by
concentrated minutes. But ultimately
there is no way to do one-minute
mothering. There is no way to pay
attention in a hurry. Seeing, as Georgia O'Kceffe said , takes time. Friendship takes time. So docs famil y. So
does arriving at a sense of well-being.
This is what I have learned on my
summer vacation...slowly. On a porch
in Maine, one American is carefully
lowering the national productivity.
And raising the absolute value of
doing nothing.

Lou Diamond Philli ps portrays f 50s rock star

by Tanya Turner
f o r The Voice
Lou Diamond Phillips portrays early rock legend Ritchie Valcns in this
week' s feature lilmLaBamba , tracing ihcriscofValcns to stardom and success
on the pop charts in the late 1950s and his impact on music , as well as becoming
one of the first successful Hispanic artists.
Northern California , summer of 1957, is the setting for this biographical
film .
LaBamba begins wilh a group of young boys and girls play ing a variety of
sports on a school playground. Two airplanes flying above the playground
collide suddenly, crashing to to the earth below.
The scene leaves us hang ing and quickly changes to a happier note, where
we meet the Valcnzucla (Valcns) family. Ritchie , who has awakened fro m a
bad dream , begins his day. He and his mother , Connie , arc working on a fruit
farm , making just enough money to get by.
Throughout this entire movie , the emphasis is on Ritchie 's famil y and how
his success affected them .
We arc introduced to Bob , Ritchie 's long-lost criminal brother , seeing him
riding in on a black motorcycle. He is a roug h , bad-tempered , violent and
lonely person.
Connie is the driving force behind Ritchie 's ultimate success. Ritchie 's

girlfriend, Donna, also'plays an importan t rolc in his life as well as in his career.
The contrast between brothers in the film , is the reason for most of the action.
Bob' s hostile and driftlcss nature is seen repetitive ly because of the love not
given to him by his now-dead alcoholic father , Steve. Because of the
abundance of love Steve gave Ritchie , Bob feels resentment and betrayal
toward s his brother.
The differences between the brothers arc evident throughout the film , but
their intentions arc similar. Both brothers only want what is best for their
mother. The onl y difference is in their approaches.
Ritchie plans on providing for his mother , as well as his whole famil y, by
excelling at his music. The practice and devotion to his music ultimately brings
him toward his goal.
Bob docs provide for his mother , thoug h not through honest labor , but by
selling drugs. Although his intentions arc good , his quest to be loved and
respected as much as Ritchie circumvents his efforts.
La Bamba ' s plot continues in Southern California , four months later.
The fain il y has moved from poor living conditions to somewhat better ones.
It is in tliis new environment where Ritchie Valcns ' career beg ins lo take off.
The fame he wins begins with the band lie plays for , The Silhouettes. The
band travels lo many locations, which illuminate Ritchie 's talent and popularity.

The Bloomsburg Theatre Department is going through some changes
this semester. In addition to naming a
new director of theatre, it is offering an
improved curriculum and new opportunities for theatrical experience to
majors and minors.
Following Hitoshi Sato 's resignation last year as directo r of theatre , the
department appointed Karen Ansclm
to fill that position.
Since then , Ansclm and her coworkers, Jack Wade and JodyLynn
Swartz, have been busy putting together a new curriculum for theatre
majors.
They have even comprised a booklet explaining the requirements and responsibilities expected of anyone who
wishes to be involved in Bloomsburg
/~
theatre.
The new curriculum should , according to Anselm , prepare the poten-

ter. The department plans to enter this
piece into A .C.T.F. (American College Theatre Festival), which is a national collegiate theatre competition.
If they arc accepted, the cast and
crew will be traveling to Binghamton ,
New York to compete with other colleges.
"This is an excellent opportunity
for the students and the university as
well ," says Ansclm.
Another great opportunity the department may have in the near future is
the performing of an ori ginal headedfor-Broadway musical firsthand. This
musical is called Me! and was writte n
by Alan Green.
Though the production of this show
is not definite yet, Ansclm feels it is a
"very good possibilty. " In a confident
tone she adds , "... we have the expertise and potential. "
And with lhat , the future of
Bloomsburg theatre looks promising.

At 16 years of age, his "professional" debut in the Cowboy Palace Bar and
his appearance on American Bandstand , qualify him to be o'ne of the youngest
singers on the charts.
Success is not thconly thing that accompanies Ritchie. Throughout theentire
film , visions of the plane crash seen at the beg inning of the movie, haunt him.
The debris from the crash had fallen onto the crowded playground, killing his
best friend. If it were not for his grandfather 's funeral , Ritchie would have been
at that playground , too.
Ritchie is reluctant to fly to any of his performances because of this event.
The plot picks up at the point where he is offered a contract with Delphi
Record s and Gold Star Studios. This is his "big break ;" now he is able to play
his hits like Donna , Come On Let 's Go ami LaBamba for the rest of the world.
After many performances, he makes it to the Winter Tour with other greats
like Buddy Holly and The Big Boppcr. After completing a very successful
concert , plans were cut short due to the tour bus brcaking*down , and an old
plane had to be used. There were four men , but only room for three on the plane.
A c<3in toss decided who got to take the plane.
Don 't miss this exciting film , which will be shown today at 2:30.in the Kehr
Union , and Friday at 7 and 9:30 p.m. in Carver Hall , and Sunday at 2 p.m., also
in the KUB.

Theatre program sets
stage for brigh t fu ture
tial theatre major for cither 'JLCCCSS in
graduate school or in the job market.
As Swartz put it at a recent theatre
meeting, "...wc want people to know
that if you have a degree in theatre
from Bloomsburg , you 'ic not going to
be waiting tables all your life!"
Though the official titles of the
professors arc director of theatre, performance director , and technical director, respectively, Ansclm , Swartz ,
and Wade share the responsi bilities in
each production.
They have planned th ree productions for litis semester: A View from
the Bridge by Arthur Miller; An Evening of One Acts , which consists of
several sludcnl-dirc ctcd productions ,
and The Forgotten Door by Gregory
A. Falls.
The dircclors have also iricd lo run
these performances for longer dates
than in the past.
The play A View from the Bridge is
of particular importance this semes-

Only American sports car
reaches 35th anniversary

by Glenn Schwa b
Managing Edito r
Editor's note: This is the
first of a three-part series.
In January of 1953 a two-seater
sports car made its debut at the annual
General Motors Motorama show in
Detroit. It was a unique automobile for
its time, sporting a sleekly styled fiberg lass body that was a break from
the uninspiring designs of previous
years.
Popping the hood on this roadster
revealed a Chevrolet inline six-cylinder wilh the name "Blue Flame"
scrawled across its valve cover.
There were also three sidedraft onebarrel carburetors topped by individual bullet-shaped air cleaners lurking
in the engine compartment.
With its toolh'y chrome grille,
smooth lines and convertible top this
car reminded viewers of exoti c European imports.
The little roadster was an immediate
success and Chevrolet was soon
flooded with questions as to if it would
be produced and how much it would
cost.
These inquiries were answered six
months later when Chevy started a
first model year production run that
would total only 315 units, but ensure
the new auto of its place as America 's
only true sports car.
In 1988, theyearof its 35th anniversary, the crossed-flags emblems emblazoned on every Corvette are familiar to car enthusias ts worldwide.
• This first 'Vette was a compromise
in many ways. Its performance was
limited by the small six-cylinder eng ine and the two-speed Powerglide
automatic transmission, the only powertrain combination available at the
time.

Some other drawbacks were the
clip-in side curtains that were favored
as a cost-cutting measure over rolldown windows. Also , the lack of exterior door handles made it necessary to

reach inside to open the door.
1954 brought few changes, the only
significant one being a new camshaft
which raised engine output to 155 hp.,
up 5 from the previous year.
By 1955 the Corvette's future was
uncertain. Sales had been less than
dazzling, due in part to the high base
price of $3498 and minor problems
such as water leaks around the side
curtains and trouble with synchronizing the three carburetors for smooth
operation.
Salvation for the plastic roadster
came in the form of Chevy 's new 265
cu. in. small-block V8. Despite being
.bolted to the inadequate Powerglide
automatic , the 195 hp. generated by
the 265 injected new life into the
'Vette.
Sixty mph was now only 8.5 seconds away from a dead stop and top
speed was in the 120 mph neighborhood.
In addition to a more powerful version of the 265, the '56 Corvette also
received a body restyling. This included rounded rear fenders , recessed
tail lamps and a more prominen t grille
along with a concave section, later
named "coves", on the body sides that
swept back from the front wheel wells.
This feature gave the Vette a personality of its own and broke up the
fiat-sided look that had led some
people to refer to the lirst generauon
car as the "plastic bathtub."
The only gimmicky parts on the
whole '56 design were the small
dummy scoops on the tops of each
fender near the windshield. They had
originally been intended for cowl
ventilation but this was ruled out because of cost considerations.
By 1957, talk of dropping the Corvette had ceased despite its modest
sales.
The V8 was enlarged to 283 cu. in.
and delivered up to 270 hp. with dual
four barrel carbs and around 290 hp.
with the new Ramjet fuel injection

option , though Chevy rated it at 283
hp. in their sales literature.
Another option was the longawaited four-speed manual transmission , which could take full advantage
of the new engine's power in conjunction with the Positraction limited-slip
differential.
When 1958 rolled around , GM
management felt that their fiberglass
wonder was in need of another facelift
even though the previous body style
had been used for only two years.
To some, the 1958 restyling was a
large step backwards, while others
viewed it as the start of the Corvette's
"Golden Age", which would last until
the end of production of the first generation Sting Ray in 1967.
These changes were relatively minor, including a more aggressive looking, stronger front bumper, dual headlights in place of the old single units
and simulated air ducts set into the
leading edges of the body side coves.
This body style lasted through 1962
with the few changes being different
placement for the emblems, a new
grille in '61 and a redesigned rear end
for 1961-62.
While some were arguing merits of
body styles, enthusiasts were more
interested in what was under the hood.
The little 283 could produce 315 hp.
by 196.0 with the help of 11:1 compression cylinder heads and solid lifters.
The small-block received a boreand-stroke job in 1962 that increased^
displacement to 327 cu. in. and horse-',
power to 340 with a four-barrel carburetor, while the "fuelie " version!
cranked out 360 hp.
!
While these early • Vettes were great'
cars in their own ri ght , they were soont
to be overshadowed both in perform-'
ance and styling by the totally re- i
engineered and redesigned 1963<
models, which would become famous <
for the introduction of the legendary "
Sting Ray.

Huskies debut
season with
14-6 victory
by Daw Sauier
Staff Writer
With the graduation of the much
publicized "80 percent " of the
Bloomsburg offense , new quarterback , Paul Vcncsk y and runningback
Leonard Bluitt found themselves
thrust into the starling roles for the
first time against a tough Norfolk
Stale football team in last Saturday 's
season opener.
But in front of 7,633 screaming
fans , ihc duo showed that former stars
Jay Dcdea and Tommy Martin might
be rcp lacable as the Huskies defeated
ihc Spartans , 14-6.
The game , played at Old Dominion
University 's Foreman Field in Norfolk , Virg inia , featured Vcncsky and
B l u i t t c o m b i n i n g for 243 of
Bloomsburg 's 305 total yards. Throw
in an experienced , hard-hitting Husk y
defense that held Norfolk Stale to only
42 total yards and one can sec ihc score
is not indicative of a close contest.
In the previous two contests , the
Spartans had driven downficld on
their opening scries to score and put
ihc Huskies in ihc hole. Saturday il
seemed history mi ght repeal itself
until a hard hit by Joshua Lcc forced a
Norfolk Stale fumble deep in
Bloomsburg territory.
Vanesk y hig hlighted his initial
appearance by leading the Huskies
downficld lo a touchdown , Mike
Medina.scored ihc drive-capper with a
16-yard run on a delayed trap play.
The score most importaintl y established confidence in the offense as Vcncsky completed four of four passes,
two of which coming in third and long
yardage situations.
Mark Weiss booted the extra point
and wilh three minutes left in the first
quarter , Bloomsburg led , 7-0.
The only other Husky scoring came
laic in the third quarter as Bluitt
charged over the middle for a threeyard touchdown run. Again , Wciss's
kick was on the money and
Bloomsburg was in control , 14-0.
The Huskies did have several other
opportunities to score in ihc contest ,
bul were the victim of costly turnovers.

Both Bluitt and Vcncsky agreed ,
"The offense was sputlcring a bit. "
The fiflh ycarScnior quarterback said ,
"I was forcing the ball."
This mi ght explain his four interceptions, However, considering il was
his first start, head coach Pete Adrian
was impressed , "I thought Paul did a
great job."
When asked if nervous about starling the game, Vcncsky smiled and
said , "No, not really."
His main concern was about the
types of defensed Norfolk State would
employ, considering there were no
films for Bloomsburg to work with.
"It was just a mailer of not knowing
what lo expect."
On ihc other side of ihc field , defensive end , Stcph Peltit, was outstanding, as was Lcc.
Pctlit was credited wilh six tackles
and one and a half pass sacks while
Lcc racked up seven tackles and recovered a fumble. The two veterans
consistentl y had Spartan quarterbacks
Maurice Lawrence and James Barnes
scrambling for their lives.
Pctlit suffered a knee injury lhat
almost required surgery during training camp, but luckil y was able to play.
He claimed alotof his effectiveness is
due to some of his teammates.
"I love playing next to Josh (Lee)
and wilh Dclmas (Woods). They 've
saved my life alot of times out there."
Perhaps Bluitt summed up ihc
team 's attilude as the players were
boarding the buses to return home.
"Wc can 't pat ourselves on ihc back.
Wc have lo keep working and get
better and better each week."
The Huskies travel to Shippcnsburg
on Saturday as they open up their
PSAC schedule in an inter-divisional
conicsl. The 1:30 pm game is the season opener for ihe Red Raiders, whom
Bloomsburg realizes will be no easy
conicst. The Huskies, now 1-0 musl
correct the mistakes made against
Norfolk Slate.
That is the test of a fine football
team , one that is within sight for
Bloomsburg players and fans alike.

Yesterday, the Bloomsburg Men 's
Soccer team suffered a dissappoiniing
loss to West Chester. The final score
was 1-0, and what made it even
tougher was ths fact that Bloomsburg
scored the goal on themselves.
Midfielder Jerry Crick, played a
loose ball back to goalie, Keith Cincotla. They got their signals crossed
and the ball rolled into the net for the
gamed only score. Up until this point
Bloomsburg had controlled the game.
This untimely error marred a very well
played game for the Huskies.
THe Huskies controlled the rest of
the game. They kept the ball in West
Chester's end of the field and completely out played them. Bloomdburg
showed good ball control and crisp
passing. Junior Jack Milligan had a
couple of opportunities in the second
half, but was unable to capitalize on
them. In fact, they dominated play so
much that West Chester did not even
get one shot on goal the whole game,
Bloomsburg had 19 shots on goal.
This was Bloomsburg's seccond
loss making them 0-2 for the
season.Coach SteveGoodwin said,"It
is a disssapointing loss because it was
a conference game and a game we
needed to win. " The Huskies hope to
do well in the conference this year.

Field Hockey champs set to
defend their national title
The entire attack line lhat averagee
three goals per contest last season re
turns as ihc 1988 B loomsburg University field hockey learn looks to defend
the NCAA Division III title it won in
November. One All-American and
three other all-NCAA tournament selections top the list of veterans expected to lead the Huskies lo another
fine season.
A ycarago , coach Jan Hutchinson 's
unit won a school-record 24 games in
25 outings and captured the Pennsylvania Conference crown enroute to
the school' s fourth national title in the
past seven seasons.
"Our attack line is extremely fast
and experienced ," said Hutchinson ,
who enters her 11th season with a
sparkling 155-29-14 mark. "Wc
should be able to score , but I' m also
pleased wilh the way our defense is
developing. Wc have good people
moving up inio starling positions, and
our top recruits were at the defensive
end."
Senior Sharon Rcilly, who earned
All-Amcrican and all-lournamcnt
honors along with departed link
Cindy Dacche , is the top offensive
threat on the fronl line. She lied for the
team lead with 14 goals last season
and assisted on two oilier scores.
Another senior , Alicia Tcrrizzi , was
close behind the scoring leaders with
10 goals and six assists, and another
fourth-year performer , Cindy Hurst ,
added 10 goals and five assists.
Sophomore Susie Slocum made the
most of her first season with the club
by contributing nine goals and two
assists giving die Huskies fourquality
athletes on the offense. In addition .

sophomore Christy Gibson has earned
play ing time with her performance in
the preseason drills. Junior Kelly
Adams , who missed the last two seasons due to an injury, and sophomore
Kristcn Moycr will also sec time as the
season progresses.
Junior Danccn Fcro, an NCAA alltournament pick in 1987, is the lone returning starter in the midfield area.
She also contributed to the offensive
attack wilh three goals and four assists. Who plays beside Fcro at the
other two link positions and in the
backficld will be determined by a few
veterans as well as a number of newcomers.
Sophomore Trisha Pishock has
looked strong in the preseason workouts and could make the jump from the
junior varisty unit , while senior Michelle Carcarcy and junior Betsy Warmerdam both played back positions last
season but could move to the link line
this fall.
Another sophomore, Beth Fritz , has
also shown the capability of moving
into the starting lineup.
Goalie April Kolar gained vast
amounts of experience in her first season wilh the Huskies earning a spot on
the all-tournament team in the national
playoffs. The sophomore turned in an
outstanding performance a year ago
registering 11 and one-hal f shulouls
while allowing just five goals. She
made 89 saves last season.
The top newcomer on this year's
squad is freshman Gisela Smith , who
has gained a lot of international experience as a member of the national

even more, and both could be in the
starting lineup. Juniors Sandy
Gouchcr, who joined the Huskies after
attending the University of Toledo, and
Kathy Frick, who cam e to Bloomsburg
from Kent S talc University , could be in
either theback line or more up to a link
position.
The replacement of five players on
the defense could press the Huskies to
limit the opposition to the 11 goals they
allowed a year ago. However, with the
powerful front line returning, an improvement on the offensive output is
very possible.

The Men 's and Women 's Cross
Country teams started their respective
seasons last weekend at the Millersville Invitational.
Coming off its best season ever in
1987, Ihc Bloomsburg University
women 's cross country team has set a
goal of being even Better in the upcoming campaign.
The Women 's team started towards
lhat goal this past weekend at the
Millersville Invitationa l as they finished second only to Millersville in
the seven team field.
The Huskies , coming off a very
successful 1987 season which saw
them finish in the NCAA Division II
top 20, were led by senior Brenda
Bisscl.
Bisset had the best time of all of
Bloomsburg runners at the Invitational by finishing in fifth wilh a time
of 20:25.
She is, according to Coach Tom
Martucci , an extremely valuable asset to the team . "Brenda has had alot
to do with this program turning
around. S he holds things together and
has a very positive effect on the other
runners."
Last year's All-Conference runners, sophomore Pam Mitchell and
junior Laurie Alexander, also had
good runs.
Mitchell finished sixth with a time
of 20:27, while Alexander finished
18lh with a time of 21:22.

respectively wilh times of 27:53 and
28:03.
"We are continually building
strcnglh , and by using our hilly home

we race on this season," said Coach
Lanny Conner. "I look for us to be
more competitive this year."

Women s tennis to
open season today

A Bloomsburg University women 's
tennis team that includes just one senior on the roster will open the 1988
season , today, when coach Doc
Herbert's team hosts Buckncll. The
Huskies will be out to continue the
succss that has seen them finish among
the top three teams in the Pennsylvania
Conference Championships in each of
the last three seasons, includingatea m
titlw in 1985 and post a record of 10460 in 12 seasons under Herbert.
Junior Cathy Von Luehrte inherits
the top spot in the lineup after reaching
the semifinals at number three singles
in each of the last two years in the
conference tournament. She struggled
slightly during the regular season in
1987 accumulating a record of 6-9.
Nancy Buic, a sophomore who was
also a scmifinalist in the conference
event, moves three notches from the
fifth position to second in the lineup.
She was 9-6 last season. Buie teamed
with another first-year player, Jayme
Arlow, a year ago to win the PC's
number three doubles crown and register an 11-3 mark .
The Huskies' lone returning individual conference champion , sophomore
Chris Labowsky, will play third
singles after winning her title at number six last fall. She boasted the team 's
top record losing only once in 15
matches and coasted through the conference tourney allowing just 13
games in three matches. He did not
play in the doubles lineup a year ago
but will most likely team with Von
Luehrte to form the Huskies top
doubles unit , while Buie and Arlow
will fill the number two spot.
After the top threee spots in the
lineup, Herbert will have to make some
decisions among four players for the

final three positions. Arlow, senior
Jeanne Cancelliere, who sat out last
season, and freshman Michelle Strutt
and Laurie Macgregor will battle for
the remaining positions. Two of the
foursome will also make up the final
doubles team.
Three other first- year, Leslie Troglionc, Stacia Hendrickson and Laurel Romano, will compete for playing
time as the season progresses.
The Huskies placed third in the
congerence toutnament last season
and posted a 7-5 dual match mark, the
school's eighth winning season in the
past 10 years.
Seventeen matches are scheduled
for the season concluding with the
conference tournament in Erie, Pa. in
October 21-22.
