Greeks addressed on hazing
and alcohol policies stances

News Editor
Members of the Intcr-Fratcrnity
and Inter-Sorority Councils were
addressed by administration members and a member of the council of
trustees Sunday night on issues facing the Greek community.
The meeting, which took place in
the President's Lounge, opened the
lines of communication between
Greek groups and the administration
on the alcohol policy, and the
school's anti-hazing policy.
Dr. Jerrold Griffis, vice president
for student life, stressed that Greeks
must take on the challenge of changing negative perceptions that the
campus and local community currently hold.
The elimination of hazing under
state anti-hazing laws, and the current
university policy fcrmulated and interpreted from the state law will be a
positive step forward in his eyes.
Participation with the Quest program as a pledging activity was endorsed by Griffis at the meeting.
He stated, "If a whole fraternity or
sorority group participates in the

Quest high or low ropes course as a
part of their pledging program it will
not cost the 'group. I've shifted
budget money over to them to help
pay for their service."
Dean Robert Norton , Greek Advi sor Lori Barsness and Robert
Buehner , member of the council of
trustees also attended the meeting.
Norton supported Griffis and commented on the anti-hazing policy,
"Its what you do with the pledges,
not what you do to them is what will
form brother or sisterhood. No
physicals are required to pledge, so
no physical activity should be required of pledges."
Norton also added , "The hazing
law reads, not withstanding unwillingness of the individual. That's a
big statement and we want our
Greeks to realize the impact of the
law."
A pledge may agree to a pledging
activity, but, if injured , the sorority
or fraternity can still be brought up
on charges or sued.
Griffis stressed that in general that
Greek service goes unrecognized by
many in our community and that

Greek groups must work together in
order to further public relations.
Kc commented, "If there is any one
thing that the Greeks don 't do well is
to show to others what they are about.
The best way to get others to understand is to talk to faculty members
and others eye-to-cye and find out
what they believe is happening and
take their suggestions and understand
their beliefs about you."
The administrators fieWed questions from the audience which called
for a joint effort to work together in
adjusting the Greek system to carry
on in spile of new rules.
Griffis' outlook toward the Greek
society was positive and he stated , "I
can see a willingness to work together
and make advances and sense an
awareness of hazing and alcohol policy within the groups."
I.F.C. President Cortland Bigelow
noted , "the meeting was positive as it
opened up lines of communication
between the I.S.C., I.F.C. and administration. I hope they can see our
concerned about what is going on and
are willing to join together and sit
down to work out current problems."

Space shuttle future examined

By Cass Peterson
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

When the United States committed itself more than 15 years ago to the
shuttle program, the craft was envisioned as a delivery vehicle a "space
truck" for men, machines and materials. But the shuttle had trouble living
up to its promise of "routine" space
flight, even before the Challenger
accident grounded the fleet in early
1986.
Now, with many potential payloads taking other routes to orbit,
invention has become the mother of
necessity.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration is looking to
strengthen the rationale for its $40
billion space transportation system,
and science appears to be the likeliest
candidate.
Shuttle proponents who once
spoke confidently about ferrying satellites and building space stations
now talk about microgravity research
and the need to stay abreast of international competition in space-based
materials processing.
One of the brightest promises
offered by shuttle supporters was its
potential as a high-flying laboratory
for high-tech science. Perfect crystals
could be grown in the orbiter's nearzero gravity, for example, illuminating molecular structures and possibly
leading to important breakthroughs
in medical treatments.

The shuttle also would be used
to launch deep-space probes, giant
telescopes to scan distant galaxies,
and state-of-the-art instruments to
monitor Earth.
In the 32-month hiatus since the
Challenger explosion , those scientific missions have been grounded as
surely as the commercial and military payloads. But unlike the satellite
companies, which are looking elsewhere for a ride to space, and the
Pentagon , which has starting building its own boosters, the science
payloads arc pretty much stuck on
the shuttle.
• The SI.4 billion Hubble Space
Telescope, for example, couldn 't be
hoisted into space by an unmanned
booster even if one could be found. It
was designed specificall y to be carried by the shuttle. That leaves space
scientists relian t on a transportation
system that was not designed with
them inmind. 'Tthas proven to be an
artifact," Logsdon said. "It's a firstrate policy mistake."
Part of the problem stems from
compromises made in the shuttle's
design to accommodate bulky satellites and military payloads, such as
the Keyhole photo reconnaissance
satellite. Enlarging the cargo bay
reduced the space available in the
middeck area, where smaller mantended experiments were to be
housed.
Spacehab Inc., a Washington ,

D.C., firm , has designed a modular
lab to fit into the cargo bay , which
would greatly expan d the space for
experiments.
The first Spacehab flight is tentatively scheduled for August 1991, but
somescientistssay theorbiteralready
has proved to be a disappointing
environment for some of the experiments it is intended to house.
Microgravity experiments, for
example, require perfect , jolt-free
weightlessness _ difficult to achieve
in the shuttle because of its human
inhabitants and occasional use of
thrusters.
The shuttle also has proved to be a
poor launch vehicle for interplanetary missions. Launch delays make it
difficult to hit the relatively short
"window" when planets are properly
aligned , and , after Challenger, the
high-energy rockets needed to speed
probes across the solar system were
deemed too dangerous for a manned
space vehicle.
Scientists can compensate by
routing interplanetary probes around
Mars or Venus and using gravity to
whip them into space like a stone
from a slingshot, but the process adds
years to the journey.
Meanwhile, the flood of commercial business that NASA had expected ha s failed to materialize,
largely because of concerns about the
frequency and priceof shuttle flights.
The Ortho division of Johnson &

against Rowan, his bid to have the
possession charges dropped was rejected last week. So was his attempt to
subpoena Washington Mayor Marion Barry and other high-ranking city
officials.
If convicted on the weapon and
ammunition possession charges,
Rowan faces a possible maximum
penalty of two years in jail and a
$2,000 fine, though attorneys forboth
sides say a jail sentence is all but
inconceivable.
At issue in Monday 's jury trial,
which both prosecuting and defense
attorneys said they expect to last no
more than four days, is whether
Rowan violated the District of
Columbia's tough 1976 gun control
law by having the revolver in his
possession.
The ordinance does not allow
handgun registration or ownership by
private citizens, except for weapons
purchased and registered before the
law was enacted.
But Rowan maintains that Wash
ington police told his son, Carl 1

Rowan Jr., an attorney and former
FBI agent who gave the gun to his
father in 1981 after the columnist said
he received several death threats, that
he did not need to register the firearm.
"The police department interpreted this law in such a way as to
exempt law enforcement officers and
former law enforcement officers, and
it says that they can own the gun.
A person in an apparent position to
know, someone from the District of
Columbia 's gun control unit , told
Carl Rowan Jr. that it was all right to
keep the gun ," Rowan 's attorney
Raoul L. Carroll said last week.
In testimony at a pre-trial hearing
Sept. 16, the younger Rowan said
that he repeatedly attempted to register the gun with Washington police
officers in the gun control unit , and
added that he mentioned to them that
other people, including his father,
might have access to the gun.
He said they told him he was completely exempt from the law, but
under cross-examination he acknowledged that he could not re-

Johnson , for example, dropped its
involvement with the shuttle program
when it developed a new method of
electrically separating dru g compounds suspended in a fluid. The
technique gave results comparable to
those obtained in the microgravity of
space, but at far less cost.
The shuttle still offers advantages
for some scientific disciplines, notably materials science. In the nearweightlessness of space, it is possible
to combine some materials that do not
mix on Earth , creating the potential
for new alloys that arc stronger and
lighter than existing compounds.
But scientists say mat even those
experiments could be done on an unmanned space vehicle, if a capsule
were developed to return the samples
to Earth.
In the near-term , NASA's biggest
shuttle customer is the military,
which is booked for five of the nine
flights planned through 1990. Policy
analysts say it isn 't clear whether the
shuttle is especially valuable for
those missions or whether NASA
simply asked the Pentagon to tailor its
payload to fit the orbitcr.
"The military has never really been
a great supporter of the shuttle ," said
Paul Stares of the Brookings Institution. "Even before Challenger, the
Air Force had started to procure expendable rockets. It's quite clear that
NASA couldn 't deliver the number
of launches they had promised."

Columnist faces gun posession charges

By Akin R. Cohen
LA. Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON _ After three
months of public clamoring and legal
maneuvering, the trial of syndicated
columnist Carl T. Rowan is scheduled to begin Monday.
Rowan, a well-known and outspoken advocate of banning handguns,
pleaded not guilty Aug. 1 to two
misdemeanor counts of possessing an
unreg istered .22-caliber Charter
Arms revolver and ammunition.
The charges stem from a June 14
altercation at the columnist's Washington home, during which Rowan
shot a Chevy Chase, Md. teen-ager
who has admitted that he and several
companions were using Rowan 's
back yard pool and hot tub without his
permission.
Since the incident, Rowan has defended himself against charges of hypocrisy and vigilantism from individuals and organizations on both
sides of the gun control debate.
Although the U.S. attorney's office
decided not to file assault charges

member the officers names.
Claude Bailey , a spokesman for
the Washington corporation
counsel's office , said last week that
even if the younger Rowan were able
to convince the jury that he was told
he did not ha ve to register the gun and
could keep it, it would have no bearing on his father 's rig ht to possess the
weapon.
"The point is that there is no transferability of this gun , whatever the
police may have told Rowan Jr.,"
Bailey said.
Washington D.C. Superior Court
Judge Arthur L. Burnett Sr. wrote in
his 17-page opinion refusing to dismiss the charges against Rowan that
the conversations between the
younger Rowan and the police are
"the critical fac tual situation in this
case."
Burnett also quashed Rowan 's attempt to subpoena Barry and other
high-ranking city officials last week,
saying he could find no purpose in
"calling these celebrities."

Anti-

Hazing
policy
affects
sororities

By Michele R. Bupp
Staff Writer
The new state hazing law, which
forbids all types of initiation procedures prior to entry into a social fraternity or sorority, will be strictly
enforced this semester, according to
ISC (Inter-Sorority Council) President, Mary Ann Patton.
The Pennsylvania hazing law not
only forbids humiliating or painful
initiating procedures for Greek organizations such as walking or running until exhaustion, a known hazing act, but no longer allows mild
hazing.
Pledges wearing hats, armbands,
nametags, and carrying binders containing information about the organization and its members are familiar
sites
around
Bloomsburg
University's campus and are all considered mild hazing.
These and other related procedures are now prohibited at all college campuses in addition to
Bloomsburg University.
We can t do anything or allow
our pledges to wear anything which
draws attention to them as being different from others on campus ," explained Patton .
Pledge educators must reconstruct
their pledging programs to ensure
that none of the new policies are violated. Pledges may be permitted to
wear nametags for the first two weeks
of pledging so sisters can get to know
their names, as last semester.
Patton admits that some sorority
members have mixed feelings about
the new law because they must invest
additional hours to arranging a new
pledge plan.
Others feel it is not fair that they
endured the pledging rituals which
consumed many hours, often on week
nights, and yet also found time to
study for classes.
While members feel the pledges
are missing out on the some of the
rites of initiation, it is definite that the
new hazing law is making an impact
on Greek organizations and their
universities.

Impact of a concert shirt

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
Picture this: a woman slumped in
what appeared to be an alley. The
woman's expression was one of great
pain. She was topless, her skirl was
pulled up above her knees, and her
underpants were pulled down to her
knees. She looked helpless. Behind
her in blood red letters was a message.
Guns n' Roses was here.
Concert t-shirts are always interesting. They present a statement about
the wearer and the group. Recently I
saw a shirt that made a very harsh
statement. Basicall y it said, "Guns n '
Roses rapes women."
A few weeks back we read a review
by someone who made this group
sound like the greatest thing since
sliced bread. "Their songs deal with
the cold harshness of reality ," Scott

/

Anderson wrote, and the band s perhaps hopeless, yet vibrant desire for a
better society."
Are they dealing with reality or
contributing to the harshness of it?
This show souvenir gives the impression that they don 't want to better
society, they want to rape it.
In his review, Mr. Anderson makes
the claim that many groups have tried
but few have "created such an impact..." Their music may appeal to
Anderson and others. I am not passing
judgement on their talents as musicians.
I am, however, questioning their so
called "desire for a belter society." I
am being told one thing, yet I sec a
totall y different image.
The impact created by the t-shirt
was nolhing short of » obscene.

'L is for libr ary, and- lear
that it is only open until 5 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, and does not
open until 2 p.m. on a Sunday , those of
us who are on a tight schedule get
screwed even more. *
It's pretty ridiculous that the games
room in the Kehr Union is open to 11
p.m. on Friday so the area high school
kids have a place to hang out. But, at
the same time, the library is closed so
anyone who might want a quiet place
to catch up on homework or reading is
out of luck.
Oh well. Might as well head down
to Good Old Days.
Saturday is the same way. If you
want to go to the football game and
show your team spirit then head to the
library and work on that term paper,
think again. By the time you get there
the doors will be literally slammed in
your face.
Of course, it is open at 9 a.m. on
Saturdays. So we could all get up early

to go. But we do have laundry to wash,
cleaning to do, groceries to buy, and
other domestic type errands to take
care of.
On Sunday, we find ourselves wasting time hanging out while we could
be working our brain cells. The library
doesn 't open until 2 p.m.
Even the people with the biggest
hang overs are up and moving by 2
p.m. Those of us who are feeling
productive, well we just have to wait.
Then, once you get there, get situated, and begin doing some hard-core
studying, they are flashing the lights.
Sorry, we close at 10 p.m. on Sunday.
What do you think this is, a school?
It would be nice if, for once, student
needs would be considered. After all,
don 't we pay to go here?
Without bringing out all of the old
cliches, let me just say that we expect
to have access to the resources we pay
to use.

Why is everyone so preoccuppied
with the way they look? Yes,I know it
is sometimes a good boost to the oV
self-esteem to get decked out once in
a while for no particular reason. But
all this fussing—every day—about
what to wear, and making sure every
single, solitary strand of hair is in
place (with just the right amount of
hairspray, which usually equals a
whole bottle) just seems unneccessary.
Our society today places so much
emphasis on looking good, and being
"in fashion" that it's no wonder so
many people have complexes, and not
just of inferiority. Having "cool"
clothes also seems to be a major priority of most young people. Sure, it's a
good feeling to look nice,and be'.'with
it."'Budget real!'Jeans that cost $50
and sweaters that sell for more than
that are outrageous.
What 's even more ridiculous is that
people actually pay these prices! Any
thrift store or blue-light special at KMart carries the same pieces of merchandise (or something in the same
category) for at least half as much.
I'm not saying that we should all
boycott Macy's and get Salvation
Army charge cards, but maybe we
should reevaluate our spending habits. Here's an even better suggestion:
let's all get NAKED!
Now before you all jump down my
throat and call me all sorts of nasty
names, hear me out. (And anyone who
has had Human Sexuality knows what
I'm talking about.) Think of it...you
literally could just roll out of bed and
go to class. No more spending hours
tearing apart the contents of your
closet (and yourroommate's and your

A litmus test is not required

BOSTON—It was enough to make
the anti-abortion shock troops impale
themselves on their pickets. George
Herbert Walker Bush , the great white
hopeoftheright-to-lifers, v.as saying
that abortion shouldn ' t be a political
litmus test
The direct descendant of Ronald
Reagan had passed just such a test in
the primaries. He'd come out aggressively in favor of a constitutional ban
against abortion. The Republican
platform itself had passed the same
test with flying colors: "The unborn
child has had fundamental individual
right to life which cannot be infringed."
Now the candidate was sounding
dangerously open-minded. Talking
about abortion, he said, "Nobody in
our party takes a litmus test that says
that everybody has to agree on every
issue."
This was anathema to the gang that
spends days trying to break up rallies
for Michael Dukakis. And many of
them were already a touch suspicious
of the gentleman from Kennebunkport. After all, his politics were conceived in the days when conservatives
like Barry Goldwater didn 't believe in

To the Editor
After spending much of Friday afternoon in the computer lab in Ben
Franklin , I went to the library to do a
bit of research before it closed. Much
to my surprise, it was already closed
—15 minutes early,
I'm really not sure which was more
frustrating, the fact that a univeristy
library closes at 5 p.m. or the fact that
a university library, which closes at 5
p.m., closes early.
This is supposed to be an institution
of higher learning, however, the library , as inadiquate as it may be, is not
very beneficial to many of us. First
and foremost, 12 midni ght is when
some students begin to study. After
classes, practices , rehersals, and
meetings, midnight seems to be the
first opportunity to open a book for
those of us who are involved in other
activities.

nir of the show , but the message it
conveys makes it more.
What shocked me even more than
this graphic display was the person
inside of it. She didn 't seem to realize
what the shirt was saying, and if she
did, she didn 't seem to care.
In a world where women are still
sexually abused, treated as sex objects, and still struggle to get ahead in
"a man 's world", I found this shirt
disgraceful.
In the eyes of a male band, which
makes millions of dollars from their
music, concerts, and souvenirs ,
women were reduced to mere trash
discarded in an alley.
It was scary to some that Mr. Anderson compared Guns n' Roses to
the greats of rockn ' roll. Itis scary me
that educated men worship bands
with this type of mentality.

government intrusion.
Bush had gotten on the constitutional bandwagon in 1980. But now,
eight years later, he was admitting,
perhaps even bragging, that some of
hisbestfriends andkey supporters are
pro-choice. The campaign 's co-chair,
Rep. Lynn Martin, is one. So is Deborah Steelman, his domestic policy
adviser. And, you can bet your bottom
dollar, so are some members of the
Bush family.
More to the point, the Republican
was wobbling on the platform which
banned abortion with no ifs, ands, or
buts; with no dispensation for cases of
incest, rape or the health of the
mother. In the same interview, Bush
suggested that he favored these exceptions.
Was there a waffle afoot? Should
the right-to-lifers insist on a urinalysis
to see if George would still pass?
What we are into is phase two of the
Bush campaign. In phase one he
whacked; in phase two he welcomed.
He went from immolating Dukakis
with the American flag to making
commercials calling for a gentler,
kinder nation. He went from feeding
red meat to the right, to proffering a

well-balanced meal to the middle.
The pragmatic patrician can, you
see, read numbers. On abortion, the
public attitude is quite clear. Only 10
percent of Americans believe we
should ban them all. Even Among
Republicans, 73 percent believe that
abortion should be a private matter
between a woman and her doctor. The
swing voters both candidates are
wooing are solidly pro-choice.
Bush already has the right-to-life
voters in his pocket, no matter how
itchy they may feel in there. What he
wants to do is to appear just moderate
enough to appeal to Reagan Democrats. Republican pollster Linda Divall once said that the party goal was
to have Democrats say, "Now there's
a Republican I can vote for."
Is it enough that Bush has retreated
from the rigid right? KateMichelman,
the head of the National Abortion
Rights Action League, says no. "We
aren't being asked to elect his staff or
the majority of Republicans," she
says. "We are being asked to elect
George Bush, who opposes abortion
and favors adoption." This week
NARAL endorsed Dukakis.
The bottom line is that Bush be-

lieves Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme
Court decision upholding choice,
should be overturned. As the Presdient, the man who chooses judges, he
could pretty much assure that it would
happen. The part of the Republican
platform he hasn't criticized calls for
"the appointment of judges at all levels of the judiciary who respect...the
sanctity of innocent human life."
Under this rubric, Ronald Reagan
has appointed half of all the federal
judges now sitting. We are beginning
to see those results. In one circuit
court this year,an ideological block of
Reagan judges upheld a law forcing
pregnant girls to search out and notify
both parents before getting an abortion. In other appeals courts, Reagan
appointees reluctantly ruled for
choice only because of Roe.
Now the Supreme Court,with three
Reagan appointees, hangs uncertainly. The next president will surely
have more appointments to make.
So I am delighted that Bush includes pro-choice people in his inner
circle. But the question isn't whether
there's alitmus testfor politicians. It's
whether this politician has one for the
courts.

money you'd save if you didn 't have
to spend it all keeping up with the
latest fashion—if everyone wore their
birthday suits, we'd all be in style all
the time. The only trends you'd have
to worry about would be how to wear
your hair and how dark your tan is.
With the extent of my wardrobe, this
idea would definitely improve my
style status.
Clothing promotes the growth of
bacteria, too. Bacteria like cold, dark
and moist places. Covering up the
skin creates such a place. And, contrary to popular belief, perspiration
doesnof smell. The only reason you
smell when you sweat is that the perspiration reacts with the bacteria on
you from your clothes. Granted, I
would npt really want to exercise (i.e.,
go jogging, dp aerobics or Nautilus)
with just my bare bod, but the point is
made. If you sweat a lot, and really do
not care for such locker-room odors
on your person, wear nothing on your
person!
Of course, being in the buff all the
time for women would present a problem at certain times of the month.
Since bikinis today leave nothing to
men's imaginations anyway, I propose that during these periodic feminine inconveniences, women wear
the old bathing suits. Dressing up
once in a while would be a nice
change, anyway.
Instead of having "nude beaches,"
we would have "clothed beaches" for
those who like to show off their latest
charge account bill, or just want to be
"different. "
And during those cold winter
months, if cuddling up with your favorite someone (or someone else's for
that matter) just doesn't toast those
tootsies enough , I guess we can make

some concessions and wear an animal
skin or two. I bet Fred Flintstone never
dreamed he would be a fashion designer someday.
I can just see it now..."Bloomsb*&g
bears it in the buf!"
Although I realize such an idea as
this would never become a reality in
Bloomsburg because of our intense
self-consciousness, the principle behind naturism has merit. Were you
born with clothes on? The only clothing you wore at birth was your skin.
There is nothing wrong with skin, or
the naked human body. It is probably
the most truly pure, natural product of
our world that's left. The only additives, preservatives and artificial
sweeteners added are what you consume. Being what you eat is your
problem.

National Park Service fire policies to be re-evaluated

By Boyce Rensberger

LA. Times-Washington PostService

WASHINGTON _ The National
Park Service's fire management
policies and practices, made controversial by the unusually large fires in
Yellowstone National Park, will be
re-evaluated by a panel of outside
experts to be appointed in the next
few weeks by Interior Secretary
Donald Hodel. .
The review, according to Denis
Galvin, deputy director of the Park
Service, will include public hearings, probabl y in the Yellowstone
area and here. Galvin said the group
will be expected to make formal recommendations to Hodel by Dec. 15,
so that any proposed revisions can
undergo further debate and be put in
place before next summer.
The panel is only one of several
initiatives under way in the governm

ent to cope with opposition to and,
Galvin said, misunderstanding of the
16-year-old policy of letting natural
forest fires burn if they do net threaten
lives of property.
Last Friday, Sen. Max Baucus, DMont., held hearings in Bozcman,
Mont ., on the effects of the fires on
small businesses in and around the
park. The hearings also dealt with
whether federal disaster relief should
be made available to hard-hit businesses. Later this week, the Senate
committees on agriculture and energy have scheduled joint hearings on
the government's forest fire-management policy.
Galvin said little of the controversy involves ecological or environmental questions. Most conservation
groups and ccologists agree that the
fires ars a natural phenomenon that,
in the long run , are beneficial.

Most of the concern comes from
people living near the park whose
homes and businesses are threatened
by the fires _ a population that has
grown dramatically in recent years.
Although only four houses outside
thepark burned,residents over a wide
area were evacuated or irritated by
smoke. Within Yellowstone, 14 vacant cabins burned, but no one was
killed by the fires.
Much opposition has come from
those who consider all forest fires to
be bad,people whom some ecolog ists
say took the movie "Bambi," in
which the deer are terrorized by a fire ,
too seriously. 6thers blame Smokey
the bear, the longtime symbol of the
now discredited policy of preventing
all forest fires.
Although many in the business
community fear Yellowstone will no
longer draw the heavy tourist volume

Hundreds of untouched . "islands
remain from which plant and animal
species will repopulate the burned
«
areas.
Moreover, the burned areas will be
unusually fertile because the fire returned much of the above-ground
plant matter to the soil. And many
animal species, dependent on young
vegetation, are expected to help establish habitats that have been rare in
Yellowstone for many decades.
Galvin said the Park Service is
planning new trails and interpretive
programs so that visitors can learn
more about the role of natural fires
and how nature quickly exploits
newly opened habitats.
Until Yellowstone was established
more than a century ago as the
world's first national park, fires, set
by lightning or by Indians, had been a
part of the ecosystem and had shaped
much of the natural beauty that drew
early conservationists to the region.
When the park was established,
Indians were evicted and a policy of
suppressing fires begun. Gradually,
like a village where few children are
born, the forests became older and
weaker, more vulnerable to disease
and death from old age. Dead wood on
the forest floor _ fuel waiting forafire
_ accumulated to unprecedented levels.
In 1972, the Park Service responded to overwhelming ecological
advice and instituted the "let bum"
policy. Since then , Yellowstone has

for which it has been famous, figures
for this year show only a modest
decline from last year. At the end of
August, tourist visits numbered 1.7
million, down 12 percent from the
same period last year.
"I think we'll see this go up next
year," Galvin said. "We've already
got tour companies calling up wanting to organize special groups for
next year. They want to see the regeneration ."
Even before the snows began
falling earlier this month , green grass
was sprouting from roots untouched
by fire. Wildlife biologists say next
spring should bring a dramatic resurgence of plant and animal life, because in much of the burned area ,
many trees are still alive and many
shrubs have viable roots. Galvin said
about half of the area within the perimeter of the fires has not burned.

Reagan takes stand again st chemical warfare
By Sara Fritz

L.A. Times-Washington Post Times

WASHINGTON _' President Reagan, in his final appearance as chief
execu livebefore the United Nations
Monday, plans to call for an international conference aimed at limiting
proliferation of chemical weapons
in the Third World, sources said Saturday.
The president's proposal will
come in direct response to new
charges that Iraq recently may have
used chemical weapons to kill thousands of Kurds in towns and villages
along the Turkish border. In addition, poison gas is known to have
been used by both sides during the
eight-year Iran-Iraq war.
A White House official, who declined to be identified by name, said
that Reagan will suggest that signatory nations to the 1925 Geneva
Protocol that outlawed the use of
poison gas be called together to discuss ways to reverse the rising danger of the use of chemical arms in
Third-World regional conflicts. Iraq
is one of about 100 nations that
signed the protocol.

Reagan will not single out Iraq in
his U.N. sprcch, butinstead will raise
the broader issue of the proliferation
of chemical weapons n the Third
World, the official said.
He added that the recent cease-fire
in the Iran-Iraq war -has created a
unique opportunity for the United
States to initiate discussions seeking
a new commitment on the part of the
signatory nations.
According to a recent study by the
Defense Intelligence Agency, about
20 nations have chemical weapons.
They are believed to include Israel,
Egypt, Syria, North Korea and Taiwan.
In addition , the State Department
has said that Libya is on the verge of
full-scale production.
Reagan's appeal for an international conference will come at a time
when Congress is close to passing
legislation that would block U.S.
trade with Iraq until the president can
certify that Baghdad has renounced
the use of chemical warfare.
Although administration officials
have denounced-Ifaq's-use -of poison

opposition to economic sanctions.
U.S. officials have said that they
would rather rely on diplomacy to
achieve a change in the Iraqi policy.
To bolster the case for sanctions,
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee issued a report last week based
on eyewitness accounts that accused
Iraq of genocide in its use of poison
gas against the Kurdish minority.
Senate investigators said that Iraq
had used mustard gas, which causes
vomiting and blocks respiration after
several hours, as well as nerve gas,
which causes instant death.
The report concluded: "Poison gas
is Iraq's final solution to its Kurdish
insurrection."
In Baghdad , Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz said last week that his
country "respects and abides by all
provisions of international law and
international agreements accepted by
the international community ," presumably including the 1?25 Geneva
Protocol.
Until now, negotiations under the
1925 Geneva "iTotocol have focused

weapons by the United States and the
Soviet Union .
But Reagan 's national security
adviser, Lt. Gen. Colin L. Powell ,
said earlier this week that the administration now thinks a more comprehensive, worldwide ban is necessary.
In his regular Saturday radio address, Reagan said that he would use
his U.N. speech to discuss what steps
the nations of the world should take
"in the next eight and the next 80
years" to make the world safer.
However, he did not mention
chemical weapons.
"My message this year to the delegales of the United Nations will be a
message of hope," he said.
"This year, as we survey the scene
one last time," he added ," We can see
that our strength has indeed proven to
be the engine of peace and hope in the
world."
It was not known whether the
president, who is a long-timecritic of
the United Nations, would refer to his
recent surprise decision to pay $44

had hundreds of fires , most of which
died out , yielding relatively small
patches of land to new generations of
trees. This summer was different
because the record drought left the
trees weak and the deadwood drier
than ever.
"You could have had any fire
management policy you wanted and
it probably wouldn't have made a
major difference this year," Galvin
said, noting that the fires became too
big too fast and were fanned by too
high winds for any human effort to
have mattered much.
Asking firefighters to put out the
Yellowstone fires , some experts have
said, is like asking the weather service to put out Hurricane Gilbert.
Galvin speculated that the review
panel will probably not change the
Park Service's fire policy. "It's already very flexible and gives us a
wide range of options from total suppression to simply monitoring fires ,"
Galvin said. "The real questions are
going to be about how it is implemented."
Galvin said he expects revisions to
call for more consideration of we
ather trends that boost the risk of
small fires becoming large and more
emphasis on "presuppression efforts ."
These include steps to protect
buildings, including those outside the
parks, by clearing the brush and deadwood from surrounding areas and
keeping it cleared.

IMA GE members let their
fi ng ers do the talking
by Lynne Ernst
Contributin g Editor
Fourteen years ago, a group came to Bloomsburg University 's campus with hopes of promoting deaf
awareness through sign language and song. Although the group's show was a success , it disbanded the
following year. However , in spite of the group 's breakup, their performance was not forgotten , and a few
Bloomsburg University students formed their own sign-song group, which is today known as Image.
To become a member of Image , individuals must perform a skit and sign to a song of their choice. Upon
* being .selected, each individual spends approximately eight hours a week learning to sign songs and
rehearsing skits chosen tor the program.
The following people have been chosen for the Fall 88' production: Cathy Banks, Amy Cebrosky, Bonnie Chesney (vice-president), Debby Crespo, Michelle Garrity, Amy Herbener, Debbie Marconi (president), Katie McKeown , Denise Powers, Amy Reece, Bonnie Schneck , and Amy Sprauge.
"The main purpose at Image is to entertainall audiences,"said Image advisor Joanne Jackowski , placing
special emphasis on the word "all. " Also , because a large majority of the audiences attending performances
are the hearing, it allows them to recognize the language of the deaf. Jackowski added that the deal' and
hearing impaire d can appreciate the show "because it is being done by non-signers."
Since it is difficult to perform songs in American Si gn Language (ASL), which has its own grammar and
syntax , songs are performed using a mixture of ASL and Sign English. This, says Jackowski, allows the performers to "keep the meaning of the message and expose the mood and intent of the singer of the song."
The theme song of I mage is Han ds, with words written by Mary Jane Rhodes, the mother of a deaf child,
and m usic by Dan Rob bins. Jackowski explained that Hands was a product of the 1970s, a time when there
was a real movement towards deaf awareness.
Both Jackowski and the members of Image expressed concern that not enough is being done for the deaf,
as it is not a visible impairment.
Image promotes deaf awareness not only by performing twice a year on Bloomsburg's campus, but also
by taking their show on the road. Last year 's travels took the group to Corning*' New York; Penn State;
Rutgers College; Kings College, and Parkland High School in Allentown , Pa.
Jackowski remarked that the only other travelling sign/song group she is aware of is Beautiful Hands,
located in Pittsburgh , Pa.
Although the group receives some travel expenses from the Community Government Association, a
majority of donations come from supportive family members who supply costumes and props.
Image 's next performance will be held on November 20 and 21 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. in Haas auditorium.
Adm ission is free , says Jackowski, because "even if we charge a quarter, someone might not have a quarter , and we don't want to turn anyone away." •

TKE wins national award

by Dawn M. D 'Aru s
Xews Editor
Arn :V!>i the Lv:il controversy and
concern about Greek life at
Bloomsburg University , one fraternity lias proven themselves superior
on an international level.
Tati Kappa E psilon (TKE), a social
fraternity at BU. was named lop TKE
chapter out of almost 290 chapters and
40 colonies in the United States and
Canada.
TKE brothers applied for the honor
this past April and received word over
the summer that they had been
awarded the title of top chapter.
In order to be able to apply for the
top honor , a chapter of the TKE fraternity must qualif y by receiving superior chapter standing, which the BU
TKE chapter received last year.
The app lication itself was not an
ordinary application. It included pictures of the brothers and records of
officers ' accomplishments , and was
worked on by a number of fraternity
brothers before being bonded and sent
to headquarters .
Key TKE brothers who worked on
the application included Mark
Bcaudoin , current president of TKE;

Chip Plankcnhorn , present TKE
treasurer; Ed Gobora , past president
of TKE (and recipient of a special
commendation), and brother Robert
McCullough.
According to Jeff Smith , TKE
alumi chairperson , the award of lop
chapter is based on such tilings as
financial situation , alumni support ,
relationshi p with other fratcrniiies on
campus , whether they have a house",
the activities of brothers and those of
the fra ternity as a whole.
National representatives also visited with BU administrators to get a
lecl as lo TKE s standing on campus.
Specifi c brother activities included
a number of Community Government
Association senators , and some executive board members , a treasure r
and president on the Inter-Fraternity
Council , brothers involved with ihe
campus radio station , WBUQ, and
broth ers working with The Voice.
TKE service activities included
working with the Special Olympics , a
clean-up of Bloomsburg with the
Rotary Club , help ing with' campus
tours , and standing at water stations
along the course in the Twin Bridges

r- Z?L-1

Run . TKE brothers also held a volleyball game last year with local police at
which juveniles with outstanding
fines acted as referees and line jud ges
to pay off their fines. This "Earn It "
program got positive reactions from
both the police and TKE brothers , and
will probabl y take place, again this
year.
In addition to being honore d with
the title of lop TKE chapter , brothers
arc looking foward to an official
award ceremony Homecoming
Weekend.
"At least one national officer will
be there ," said Smith , a former IFC
president. "Hopefull y a lot of alumni
will be there because they 're a part of
it , loo. This (award) is not exactl y for
something we accomp lished in just
one year alone. "
Smith added thatihcTKE fraternity
would invite a couple of administrators to the ceremony, including Greek
Life Coordinator Lori Bareness.
The title of lop TKE chapter will be
until Apri l of 19S9, when they can reappl y for it.
Smith said that now they know how
to prepare the application , they hope
to appl y again and retain the title.

1963 Corvette Sting Ray
set standard for U.S.
sport car production

by Glenn Schwab
ManagingEditor
Editor's note: This is the
second of a three-part series
"Legendary " is a word that gets
thrown around a lot when people talk
about old performance cars. You can
hear about the legendary GTO, one
of the first musclecars. How about
the legend that Mopar's 426 Hemi
engine made for itself on the racetracks and dragstri ps in the mid 60's?
Whether these really were legends
is left to personal opinion. Some
might point out that Chrysler Corporation was making musclecars long
before the GTO was even an idea in
the mind of John Delorcan.
Others could say that Chevrolet's
409 V8 was in production and putting out as much horsepower as the
Hemi years before the street version
of that Mopar motor was even introduced. It's all up to preference and
point of view.
While these kind of debates have
raged among car enthusiasts nationwide for years without anything
being settled, I think I might have
found a point on which all could
agree. The one car that has surely
earned the right to be called a legend,
in its own time as well as the present,
is the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray.
There are several reasons why the
'63 'Vette earned the right to such a
title. This was the first Corvette that
~ showed the promise of becoming the
. true world-class sports car that it had
originally been envisioned as.
Its re-engineering resulted in some
design elements that had previously
been seen only on European imports.
The most definite improvement was
introduction of Independent Rear
Suspension (IRS) with a single transverse leaf spring, a setup that is still in
use today.
IRS improved handling and traction while also giving the Corvette a
front/rear weight distribution near
50/50, ideal for a sports car.
Styling was another definite reason behind the 'Vette's legend status.
The 1963 model is famous for being
the only year the split-window coupe
was produced. Other visual cues
included the two fake air intakes on
the hood, another '63 only feature ,
hide-away headlights and that huge
rear deck gas cap, a Corvette trademark from '63 to the present day.
The split-window proved to be a
controversial feature and was

dropped from production for
1964, making those that were
produced aviuly sought-after collectors items today.
While the body received a
major restyling, what was under
the hood was basicall y a carryover from '62. The 327 V8 ,was
offered in 250, 300 and 340
horsepower versions when
topped with Carter 's AFB (Aluminum Four-Barrel). Opting for
the $430.40 fuel injection option
netted the buyer 360 horsepower
and surprisingly good gas mileage for a high-performance engine.
Motor Trend tested a fuclic
Corvette in 1963 and averaged
13.6 miles per gallon In low n and
18 on the highway, wiih an overall average of 14.1 mpg. Not bad
when you consider the numbers
are about the same for today 's
Vettcs, which have only 245 hp.
A few styling changes for 1964
included the elimination of the
Mitchell Stingray-inspired air
intakes on the hood , simplified
wheel covers and diffcrcnl
chrome rocker panels*.
The 340 hp version of the 327
gained 25 ponies with the help of
a new high-lift , long-duration
camshaft and a Hollcy four-barrel
in place of the Carter AFB. The
fuclie engine gained 15 hp, but
the price of this option shot up to
$538—a sum that few were willing to spend at the time. The
Borg-Wagner T10 transmissions
used in previous years were replaced with four-speed units built
at GM' s Muncie, Indiana plant.
It soon became apparent that
Uicsc new and stronger transmissions would be needed in the
'Velte for 1965 because ihe new
Mark IV big-blocks were destined to find a home between the
fenders of America 's only sports
car.
The first of these new engines
was the 396. It was initially offered in 325 and 360 hp. versions ,
but the boys at Chevy felt that the
Corvette should have something
special, so they whipped up an
extra-high-performance motor
that churned out 425 hp, rivaling
the Street Hemi which Mopar
introduced in the same year.
Even with this 650-pound
motor up front , the fiberglass-

bodied sports car still had a front/rear
weight distribution of 51/49, showing
how farsightcd its early '60s designers
were.
Of course, the 'Vette had to have some
outward sign of change , beside its rumbling exhaust note , to go with the new
eng ine. Big-block-cquippcd cars were
fille d wilh an aggressive-looking hood
bulge , while chromed side-mounted
exhaust pipes were a popular option.
Four-wheel disc brakes were offered as
an option for ihe first time this year.
These 396 Gsrvcttcs are valued collector
pieces today since this was the only year
this eng ine was offered in a Sting Ray.
This was also the last year the fuclic 327
was offered.
The 396 was bored outto 427 cu. in .for
1966 and came in two states of tune—a
390 hp motor and a version rated at 425
hp but actually closer to 450. The 327s
were still around for those who wanted
power along with reasonable gas mileage. While they didn 't give the shotfrom-a-cannon takcoffs of ihe 427s, they
still delivered impressive performance
with only 3,100 pounds to move around.
The 427 was properl y showcased in
1967 with the introduction of what has to
be the slickest and most intimidating
hood scoop ever to be pul on a factory
production car.
Seeing this shark-like scoop with the
427 emblems prominently placed on its
sides appear in the rear-view mirror was
enough to shake up anyone driving anything shori of a Shelby Cobra. The 400
and 435 hp versions of the 427 were now
topped by three two-barrel carburetors,
the first multiple cart) setup in the 'Vette
since die old six-cylinder. The 435 hp
unit also featured a transistorized electronic ignition.
The 1967 model year is also famous for
the introduction of a competition version
427 designated ihe L88. Equi pped with
aluminum cylinder heads and intake
manifold , topped by a 850-cfm Hollcy
four-barrel and boasting a compression
ratio of 12.5:1, the L88 produced 560
horsepower and made the 'Vette turn 13sccond quarte r miles. Only 20 L88s were
installed in 1967, wilh a mere Uirce
known lo exist today.
The 1963-67 gcncraiion of Sting Rays
arc among the most prized Corvettes ever
built , setting a standard which no Corvette made since has yet lived up to.
While there were more powerfu l and
faster 'Vctlcs just a few years down the
road , dicy fail to hold the places in die
hearts of Corvette lovers that these first
Sting Rays do.

Bloomsburg Fair
brings back happy
childhood memories
by Chrissa Hashing
Featur es Editor
Hey people! Fasten your seatbelts
and hang on for this news. The '
Bloom sburg Fair is here and the fun
has already started!
So maybe you aren 't as excited as I
am; maybe you couldn 't care less
about the fair. I don 't think you know
what you 're missing.
Since I grew up in this area , the fair
has played a major part in my life .
And I'm glad it's back.
When I was younger , I went to the
fair with my parents and little
brother . We weren 't allowed to
wander off by ourselves and we
weren 't allowed to eat the great food
that surrounded us. My parents spent
most of their time in the exhibition
buildings , dragg ing two whining kids
all the way. But we still enjoyed
looking at the neat things on display,
when we stopped complaining long
enough to notice.
When we finally hit the age where
we could walk around by ourselves ,
my brother and I still had to stay
together. Unfortunately, we have
conflicting interests and could never
agree on the places to go. We usually

spent our allotted time at the fair
arguing.
Then I hit my teenage years.
Freedom at last—or so I thought.
You mi ght be able to imagine my
despair when I still had to take my
brother to the fair!
It was a \ery uncool situation ,
until my brother and I devised a
way to get rid of each other for the
night.
It wasn 't a brilliant idea , but it
worked for us. My brother would
check in wirh me at a set point
every half-hour , jus*, in case we
ran into our parents , so we could
keep our stories straight.
This worked for awhile until I
went boy-crazy. I didn 't really feel
like checking in with a little
brother and wasting valuable
"cruising " time on the Midway.
Fortunately for me, at this time
my brother was deemed old
enough to be on his own.
Soon after that I had my first
real boy friend. Of course, for the
young male generation , the game
stands are the place to be. So by
the end of that fair year I had
every type of game prize imagin-

able and I knew the location of
every game stand by heart.
Last year was my freshmen
year and I didn 't have the time
or the money to go the fair. It
didn 't bother me to miss out
for one year , but now with the
leaves starting to turn , the
memories of the fair are
coming back.
This year I plan to go down
and do all of the things I never
had the chance to do last year.
I w ant to go over all of my old
haunts and savor the sights
and smells of days gone by.
I want to sit down anil look
at the people and see the happiness in children 's faces, hear
it in their laughter. This year
the Bloomsburg Fair will be a
rememberance of my childhood.
Even if you didn 't grow up
with the fair as I did , you can
still go and have a lot of fun.
You can go with old friends
and meet some new ones, eat
some real food(for a change)
and walk away with some

ence, consisting of division I teams, is
very tough. BU women's cross country, however, proved themselves by
being ranked 19th overall in the country for Division II for the first time
ever in the history of the sport last
year. Their third place finish, incidentally, was their highest ever.
How do they keep moving up?
Tough , intensive, continual training.
According to Martucci, cross country
"reall y works on making you a
tougher person mentally. To get
through the physical part, its all in
your mind. It strengthens you physically, but more mentally. That 's going
to carry over into life itself. You can
better handle stressful situations in
life. That 's a big advantage."
A look at their training schedule
would probably leave anybody mental l y and physicall y exhausted. The 50
to 60 miles includes different running
techni ques. Races are always held on
Saturdays, so the athletes can keep up
a pretty good routine each week. By
the way, training covers SEVEN days

orig inally from Palisades Park, New
Jersey, has grown to respect the sport
since coming to BU.
Martucci's sport was wrestling. He
had never run on a coss-country team.
He began his position as assistant
coach to the women 's cross country
team in 1984. This year he has the
pleasure of running the program, and
since 1984, has had the pleasure of
watching his team grow and improve.
As a coach , he is not content to just
sit back and tell his athletes what to do.
He runs with them. "Cross country is
one of the toughest sports I've ever
seen. I run and I know what it feels
like. I have a lot of respect for the
women who do it. Not many people
realize how they train."
He added, "I've seen the women
come from a 10th place finish in the
PSAC conference last year to a third
place finish , and they were only one
point from second place. I've seem
them come far. " From Martucci's
perspective, the team has turned over
a new leaf .
A cross country season is not an
easy one by any means. The confer-

The auburn-tinted hills of
Bloomsburg provide an excellent
training ground for a sport that involves much more than just jogging.
Many of the season 's fallen leaves
experience first-hand the dedicated
treads of the cross country runner, an
athlete who trains intensively, both
physically and mentall y, all season.
Tom Martucci , first-year head
coach for women's cross country,
believes that the sport "is not just
going out and jogging. That 's a common misconception. There's a big
difference between jogging and racing, and that 's what people don 't
understand." *
BU women cross country alhlctes

their mental and physical fitness elements are well in-sync. Every week
these athletes run at least 50 to 60
miles. During the course of the season
they rack up over 700 miles of conditioning, training and racing. And , if
these runners represent BU for the full
four years, that means that in their
sport alone they distance a good 2,800
miles during their careers.

From The

J ust when you
thought you knew
all the records
I'm watching the tube die othei
night , eating my pizza which is such
an integral part of my diet , and
wouldn 't ya know it , Byun Jong
broke a record in die Olymp ics ?
You don 't know who Byun Jong is ,
you say ?
My ,. I thought everyone knew who
he was.
Well , now that I have your full attention , Byun Jong recently lost a close
decision (4-1) to Bulgari a 's Alexandar Hristov in die 119 lb. division
amateur boxing in Seoul.
What was so intri guing about the
fight was that after Jong was declared
the loser of the bout , frenzy broke out
in the ring, and we witnessed better
fighting in the "post game brawl"
than in the actual fight.
Immediately after the decision was
rendered , Jong 's trainer , Lee HungSoo ran into the ring, and a group of
officials from the floor followed. Soo
punched the New Zealand
refcrcc .Walker, in the back while
others pulled his hair and stomped on
liim. Two meta l chairs and water
bottles were thrown in the ring.
The crowd screamed for all ontcr
fights not to continue until the decision was changed. Yeah , maybe thai
will work .
Mr. Jong then sal in the ring for 6"
minutes afte r the fight was over as i
proicsl sit-in. You know incidcntly .
Ghandi starved himself when he protested , Iwas hoping this protest
would be more interesting. Oh well , 1
was wrong. No one was affected a?;
boxing matches in the other ringi
resumed and referee Walker was
probabl y home in New Zealand b\
the lime Jong left die ring.
ltseemcnd like ihe crowd was looking edgy and frustrated , when one ol
their other fighters of South Korea ,
Kwang-Soo lost his bout to U.S.'s
Michael Carbajal , in a close decision
3-2.. So this crowd was pumped for
this fight. Then Byun was warned
three times for for leaning forward
with his head and then the next time
he was given two penalty points.
Wouldn 't you know it, these two
points cost him the victory . So it s
obvious that pandomonium struck at
the gymnasium.
Anyway just when you thought the
prtotcsl sit-in was a waste you were
sadly mistaken. The 67 minute sit-in
broke the previous record set by,
Dong-Kih Choh of 51 minutes , when
he was disqualified for holding his
head too low in his flyweight bout in
1964. So, all was not a toial loss for
Mr. Jong.
Wow, the things these kids will do
these days to get their name in the
record books.
So, let's assess the damage from this
fight. Trainer Lee Hung-Soo was suspended indefinitely, as well as assistant coach of the Korean Boxing
team, Lee Han-Seung, and Byun
Jong for his sit-in protest, from the
Amateur Boxing Association. The
referee Keith Walker, was also suspended for "a series of lapses" during
the fight.
The USA Today reports that Walker
had called nine cautions and two
warnings against Byun , and none
against Hristov. I lake it this is where
the anger stems from for the Soulh
Koreans.
Hey, Hristov is picked to win the silver, I think that Byun should haVc
been happy he fought so well , it
wasn 't really necessary to make a
mockery out of his country. But hey ,
it 's not right for me to pass judgement
on someone. Maybe he just wanted
ihe record and he 's laughing at all of
us right now. Nah', I don 't think so.

Field hockey faces
first loss of season
by Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
BU field hockey suffered a disappointing loss this weekend to visiting
William Smith , 2-1. The loss to William Smith , a team the Huskies defeated 1-0 last season for the national
title , snapped a 13-gamc winning
streak for BU.
The loss will probab ly effect BU' s
ranking in the National Field Hockey
Poll in which they were ranked second
to Trenton Slate as of Scpl. 21. BU' s
record now stands at 8-1 for the season.
The Huskies have dominated every
team they 've played this season , with
the exception of William Smith , who
was ranked sixth in the poll behind
Sliippcnsburg.
Things looked grim at the end of the
second hal f when William Smith
earned and kept a 2-0 lead. The first
goal cam e from opponent Karen Alcott and the second from teammate
Amy Moorf.
BU attempted a come back in the
second half but fell short by one goal.
Christy Gibson scored with 12 minutes remaining in the game, and she
was assisted by Susie Slocum.
In other action this weekend at the
Bloomsburg Invitational , BU gar-

nered two victories, one a shutout. On
Saturday the Huskies defeated St.
Lawrence 3-0, thanks to a strong offense that scored all their goals in the
first half and a strong defense that held
St. Lawrence scoreless the entire
game.
Alicia Terrizzi had two of those
goals from her right forward position.
Her fi rst goal was assisted b y Susie
Slocum and her second goal was assisted by Danccn Fero. Trudy Horst
also knocked one into the cage unassisted.
BU went on to defeat Drew University 6-1 on Sunday. The game was
closer in the beginning, posting a
halftimc score of 2-1 wilh BU ahead.
Cindy Hurst scored the first goal , assisted by Trishxi Pishock. Teammate
Sharon Rcill y scored the second goal
unassisted.
The second half saw the offensive
explosion so notcworlhy of BU.
Drew remained scoreless while BU
knocked four into ihcir opponents '
cage. Senior Sharon Rcill y led the
team wilh her second goal , assisted by
Alicia Tcrriz/.i. Danccn Fero, Kim
Smith and Kristcn Moycr each added
a goal. Smith was assisted by Chrisly
Gibson. The Huskies will host Messiah on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 3:30 p.m.

Football defeats Kutztown
by a narrow 14-9 margin

by Dave Satiter
Staff Writer
An inspired Kutztown University
football team came to Bloomsburg visioning an upsel victory , and left wilh
Hie bitter taste of defeat as the hi ghly
acclaimed Husky defense stopped the
Golden Bears, 14-9.
The Kutztown defense played
lough the whole game as they forced
six fumbles of which they recovered
two.
They halted Leonard Bluitt 's streak
of three straight games of rushing over
100 yards as they held him to onl y 74
yards on 22 attempts.
The KU defense was rough on quarterback Paul Venesky as well. The
talented Bloomsburg senior could
only complete nine passes out of 23 attempts for 152 yards.
However, despite the good game by
the Golden Bears, the defense of the
Huskies was just superior. Not only
did Bloomsburg force and recover a
fumble, but they also grabbed two
interceptions and held Kutztown to
only 213 total yards, a minisculc 64
coming on the ground.
Suprisingly, Kutztown opened the
scoring in the game wilh a Sean
Raceanu field goal of 26 yards, with
3:58 to go in the first quarter. The
drive of 43 yards was set up by the
recovery of Eric Spcccc's fumble near
midficld.
A fumble recovery by Brian Agney
three minutes later set up
Bloomsburg 's first score of the game,
a three-yard run by Bluitt around the
right side for a touchdown.
The short 26 yard was highlighted
by Venesky's 10-yard run and one by
Bluitt for 12 yards. Drew Lotsis
booted the extra point for a 7-3 lead.
Bloomsburg 's other touchdown
came late in the third quarter and made
the score, 14-3.
The 52 yard drive took only four

plays as Venesky had a 30 yard touchdown pass to Mike Medina across the
middle. For Venesky, it was the first
touchdown pass of his college career,
and it also proved to be the margin of
victory .
Lotsis was again on the money wilh
his extra poinl and the Huskies had an
11 point lead.
Kutztown refused to die though , as
the Golden Bears mounted an impressive 80 yard drive in 12 plays to cut
the Bloomsburg lead. Quarterback
Grcdy Buchman completed a short
pass to fullback Joe Svede, who ran 23
yards breaking tackles for the score.
However, the two point conversion
attempt failed and the Huskies were
up 14-9.
Kutztown 's on-sides kick was unsuccessful and the Huskies ran out the
clock to win the game.
Statistical ly, left tackle Chris Gross
on defense was simply outstanding
for Bloomsburg . He led the team wilh
ten tackles, including five unassisted ,
and also broke up a pass. In addition ,
he continual ly was successful in putting strong pressure on the quarterback.
Joshua "Tex"Lee was also having a
fine day as he recorded eight tackles
and had all three of Bloomsburg's
quarterback sacks for 26 yards.
Also having fine day were Steph
Pettit and Ron Sahm , who each had
interceptions, and Brian Angney who
caused a fumble and also recovered
one.
For the offense, there were several
players who had good days. Besides
Bluitt 's 74 rushing yards, Eric Speece
gained 50 yards in nine attempts, and
Mike Medina had four carries for 23
yards.
Venesky 's 152 passing yards were
split up among four receivers. Tight
end Paul Loncrgan was the leading
receiver wilh three catches for 41

yards. Wide receiver Stef Kern had
two catches for 59 yards, including
one beautiful diving catch for 43
yards.
Bluitt had two catches for 20 yards,
and Medina had two catches for 32
yards and a touchdown.
This Friday night Bloomsburg travels to West Chester for a game under
the li ghts. At stake is the Huskies 4-0
record in this divisional rivalry.
West Chester, previously ranked
fifth in the nation , is coming off a stunning 17-13 loss to Millcrsville, meaning they will be pumped up for this
game.
A win there for Bloomsburg would
be a tremendous confidence boost for
the Huskies and give them a good
ranking in the PSAC Eastern Division.
