Book cites Bloomsburg University as high quality institution
by Jen McGin ley
Staff Writer
Bloomsburg University is one of
115 public colleges and universities
listed as "the best" for students to
receive a lop quality education in a
new book released this September.
How to Get an Ivy League Education at a State University by Martin
Nemko of Oakland, California used
some of the following criteria in
choosing the top 115 institutions:

quality of students, quality of faculty,
class size, quality courses in the libera l
arts and sciences, and location.
Bloomsburg University President
President Hairy Ausprich said the
book's assessment of the university is
generally fair. Auspritch commcrted ,
"We are*pleased to be included in this
list of the top 115 public institutions.
We, of course, have always known wc
provided excellent educational opportunities at an affordable cost."He thinks
that a major factor in Bloomsburg being

listed in thobook results from the
amount of student retention. The
main reason for this hig h retention
rate is the quality of the faculty.
As Nemko notes, Bloomsburg
"has grown into a solid comprehensive university, with the unusual combination of firm discipline and academic standards at a
public college price."
In the chapter which lists colleges and universities with outstanding features , Bloomsburg is

mentioned as being a university
where teaching counts more than
research in terms of hiring and promoting faculty.
The honors program received
mention for its excellence. The book
also cites the uniqueness of
Bloomsburg as a small university
composed of strong colleges offering
varied areas of instruction.
Dr. Gerald Strauss, of the Eng lish
Dcparuncnt , views Bloomsburg as a
multi purpose institution.

"Courses here are more vocationally oriented. Bloomsburg aims to
meet the desires of the student in
teaching them how to think. Students
arc not here to be spoon fed an education ," said Strauss.
He believes most students enjoy
the size of the university as underclassmen and are able to have more
contact with senior faculty members,
whereas at an Ivy League school the
student is more likely to encounter
the graduate assistant.

Forensics Team host of novice tournament
by John Risdon
News Editor
The Bloomsburg Forensics Team
hosted its largest novice tournament
this weekend with 11 visiting college and university teams competing in speaking events ranging from
persuasive speaking to dramatic interpretation.
Over 100 competitors and
coaches participated in the tournament entitled the Third Annual
"Through'the Looking Glass" Novice Tournament. Forensics team
coach and tournam ent organizer,
Mr. Harry Strine III commented,
"Communications is vital in today 's
world. Forensics competition helps
students improve reasoning, listening skills, and their analytic ability.
The goal for this competition is to
give beginners a positive experience
in forensics and hope they conAs a novice competition, the tournament was based on individual performance, not team competition.
Three Bloomsburg students placed
in the competition with Rich Knight
taking second place in prose interpretation. John Holliday placed fifth
in impromptu speaking and Deanna
Mills was awarded a superior rating
in impromptu speaking.
Competitor Debbi Cahoone of
West Chester University, com-

mented on misconceptions people
hold on forensics. She commented ,
"Many people think of Quincy (a
famed TV medical examiner) when
they hear the word forensics and others think that it only involves debating. I'm entered in what is called
Dramatic Duo, where two people
interpret a small part of a play. There
is a lot more going on here than debate."
When asked what play Cahoone
and partner had selected for the competition, she smiled and replied " The
Abbot and Coslcllo classic, "Who's
on third base" routine.
"Forensics offers many outlets for
students to be creative and teaches
them to be resourceful ," Strine added.
"In the extemporaneous draw event
entrants are given 10 cards with topics concerning current world events,
economics and politics and they select a topic and are given a half hour
to "compose a five to seven minute
speech on the topic. This requires the
competitors to stay ahead of current
events and be in touch with the world
around them.
Strine continued ,"Many of these
students involved with forensics are
getting the most out of their college
educational experiences."
Anyone interested in joining the
forensics team can contact Harry
Strine at 389-4576.

A junior marketing major said
that she feels that Bloomsburg is a
good university, but it is up to the
student to educate themself. She
said,"Most of my professors don 't
make any sense in lectures. I have to
come home and read the text to make
sense out of the material."
She agreed that the faculty was
usually quite willing to meet with
the student, but that didn 't necessarily mean that she learned anything
more from die meeting.
Another point of view from a
sophomore education major expressed much satisfaction in the education he was receiving here at
Bloomsburg.
He came to Bloomsburg for two
reasons: it has a good reputation as a
"teachers college" and it fit his
budget. "After a year here, though ,
I realized that Bloom also offers a
great social atmosphere," he said.

Dukakis strengthens campaign to capture the South 's Big Five

By Douglas Jehl
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

ATLANTA-Facing the prospect that
the South might again vote solidly
Republican, top officials of Michael
S. Dukakis' presidential campaign
gathered secretly Saturday to help
fashion a fallback strategy that will
focus resources on the five Southern
states where a Democratic victory
still seems possible.
The officials reviewed polls taken
in selected states after last week 's
presidential debate and planned to
narrow the Southern battleground
significantly in an effort to forestall a
feared Republican sweep, according
to knowledgeable campaign aides.
The campaign now intends to focus
a newly honed message at what aides
call the "Big Five"-Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Georgia, the only Southern states
where Dukakis appears to remain
within striking distance.
Campaign officials have dismissed
as ridiculous gleeful Republican assertions that they are beginning a
quick march out of the region. But
their closely guarded meeting,
chaired by political director Charles
Campion , served as tacit acknowlegement of the gravity of the
situation the campaign faces.
Nowhere in the South are the
Democrats running any better than
even. Without victories in the region,
which holds 118 of the country 's 538
electoral votes, Dukakis would
probably have to counter with a solid

sweep of the industrialNortheast and
Midwest. And even in the Big Five,
things haven 't been going Dukakis'
way.
"We're really sucking wind down
here," said one state director, who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Throughout the region, the campaign has been put on the defensive
by a Republican strategy that has
sought to tag Dukakis as a liberal
hostile to Southern values.
"Labels don'tmatter,"insists Larry
Harrington, Dukakis' Southern political director. But interviews last
week with campaign officials, analysts and voters in the states where the
Democrats have staked their claim
suggest that tire Republican attacks
are sticking.
'There are only four words we need
to mention,"boasts Tommy Hopper ,
who directs Vice President George
Bush 's campaign in Tennessee and
claims to be running 11 points ahead.
(The Democrats say four.) "ACLU.
Gun control. Furloughs. Taxes.
Down here, one of those four is bound
to hit home."
Such wounding attacks put the
Democrats in a familiar situation. No
presidential candidate since Reconstruction has been elected without
significant Southern support, and the
Republican lock on the region has
been broken in the past two decades
only by Georgia's Jimmy Carter.
Dreams that the Democrats mi ght
dominate again this year died with
Dukakis' nomination , but campaign

officials continue to hope that, with
Texan Lloyd Bentsen on the ticket,
the party might score in a few states
to relieve pressure elsewhere.
"Dukakis can win without the
South ," says Los Angeles Times political analyst William Schneider.
"But there's no room for error."
If the Democrats can build a Southern cushion, it will almost certainly
be in the Big Five. Registered Democrats in those states vastly outnumber
Republicans.
Generally, Democrats in the region
say, the Democratic party in the Big
Five states has been less polarized by
race than elsewhere in the region, and
white Democrats have proved more
favorably disposed to stick with the
ticket in national elections.
Moreover, says analyst Schneider,
a populist tradition in these states
might make it possible for populist
Democrats to outvote the conservative Democrats who remain suspicious of Dukakis. The Dukakis campaign saw other advantages from the
start in the five states, and targeted
most of them for in tensive campaigning.
Kentucky, perhaps their best bet,
faces high unemployment and boasts
popular Democratic state officials.
Arkansas, another good possibility,
faces similar economic problems.
North Carolina 's economy has
boomed, but unevenly, and Democrats hope that resentful have-nots
will align with a substantial bloc of
liberal Democrats. *

The other two states present more
difficult challenges. Tennessee's
Republican party is virtuall y moribund , but the state remains deeply
conservative.
Georgia is strongly Democratic,
but racial tensions persist, and
Dukakis has not returned there since
the Atlanta convention in July.
But Dukakis' weakness in the region in the primaries-Florida and
Texas were his only Southern victories on Super Tuesday-has come to
haunt him.
In Kentucky and Tennessee, where
Dukakis did hardly any organizing in
March, newly arriving state directors
were stunned last month to discover
that they were barred by quirky state
laws from spending funds raised by
the Democratic National Committee.
Admittedly worried, they have had to
scramble to schedule in-state fundraisers.
And because Dukakis remains
litde known throughout the region,
the Bush campaign has been able to
strike effectively even in the Democratic strongholds, launching the
harsh attacks that painted Dukakis as
a man hostile to Southern values.
"Around here," said Bill Wells, a
West Tennessee manufacturing employee, "folks see some city slicker
from up North telling him he's going
to raise taxes."
"You know, I liked him pretty
good until he started talking about
taking my damn guns away," said
firefighter Richard Hutcherson.

That issue has dominated the dialogue for more than a month in Kentucky, where the Bush campaign
made much of Dukakis' pro-gun
control position and the Dukakis
campaign took out full-page ads accusing their opponents of lying.
"Either way ," says Bush's Southern coordinator , Lanny Griffiths, "
we win."
Even in North Carolina, where the
1984 Senate contest between Gov.
Jim Hunt and Sen. Jesse Helms was
so bitter that politicians have been
reluctant to engage in mud-slinging
ever since, an onslaught appears to be
imminent.
"We're ready to go," says Bush
state chairman Bill Graham, the state
banking commissioner. During the
interview, he voices delight that a
Jesse Jackson rally in town the day
before received extensive media
coverage: "Now we can go back to
talking about three men on the
Democratic ticket, with Bentsen the
odd man out."
With such an arsenal, says University of North Carolina political scientist Merle Black , the Republicans
have a formidable advantage: "They
simply have much more negative
things to work with."
That has presented the Dukakis
campaign in the South with what its
state directors acknowledge is a difficult twofold task. In the space of five
weeks, they must blunt the power of
the harsh Bush attacks and then project a compelling image of their own

that persuades Democrats who voted
for Ronald Reagan to "come home."
"The task of the next few weeks,"
said Tennessee Rep. Jim Cooper, '
'is to make Michael Dukakis into a
good ol' boy."

Debate viewpoint lacks obj ectivity

To the Editor
Objectivity (n.) — Having actual
existence; uninfluenced by emotion
or personal prejudice.
That is the American Heritag e Dictionary definition of objective. It is
safe to say that The Voice ' s political
columnist, Paul Mellon , does not
have hispiclurc beside this definition.
Having read two of Mr. Mellon 's
columns , I have gained new insight
into the orig ins of the phrase "closedminded conservative."
Mr. Mcllon 's last column focused
on the firs t presidential debate, which ,
as he accuratel y slated, ended in a
draw. Having said that , Mr. Mellon
got around to his real aim , which was

to throw sideways jabs at Michael
Dukakis while extolling the virtues of
his obvious favorite, George Bush.
To wit: "He (Bush) effectively
drew a sharp comparison between
himself as a moderate conservative in
touch with Middle America and Gov .
Dukakis whom he showed to be an
old-time liberal from die Carter years
who would raise taxes , weaken defense, and crush die longest economic
recovery since WWII. "
Did we watch die same debate?
If George Bush is so "in touch with
Middle America", wh y did he get
trounced in die Iowa primary? And in
talking about the great "economic recovery ", how can you ignore; the wid-

ening gap between the rich and poor,
and the statistical evidence showing
that real spending power for the average American family hasn 'tincreased
one cent?
Later in the column , Mr. Mellon attacks Dukakis for calling die Vietnam
war a mistake.
Seriously Mr. Mellon. Can you say
with a straight face that the Vietnam
war was not a mistake? That is was not
ill-conceived and poorly fought? If it
wasn 't a mistake, why did a good conservative president like Richard
Nixon end the war? Maybe Watergate, but we wouldn 't want to get into
that , now would we?
Then this statement: "It is much to

W WANT70 KMOW H0W
l eOT TVllS eLDVEANI?
[RESE NEW BASEBALL '—
SHOES AMD ADIRTSIKE?

Bush s credit that he rtas redefined
tliis campaign to focus on the issues."
With all due respect, that has to be
the icing on thecake. George Bush has
spent the last two months of the campaign making absurd accusations that
Michael Dukakis is unpatriotic. Mr .
Dukakis served in the Army in Korea.
His loyalty has never been questioned. Is his patriotism really an issue, or is talking about it a way to
avoid questions on the Iran-Contra
affair?
I could go on, but I have neither the
lime or energy to delve into Mr.
Mcllon 's other shaky assertions.
Sincerely
Scott McLatchy

Give credit
where
credit 's due

To the Editor
Bloomsburg University has always
prided itself on offering each student
a quality education and, in fact, encourages students to become wellrounded during tileir college years.
But what about a student who has
chosen to become well-rounded by
aquiring a double major? What does
BU currendy offer this student at
graduation time? Two diplomas recognizing twice the effort put forth by
the student? No, only one diploma
stating a single major is given.
Is there a line on a transcript that the
student has completed requirements
for a second major? No, the classes
speak for themselves, and probabl y
not loud enough for a graduate school
or potential employer to hear.
Isn 't it time that students carrying a
double major be achnowledged for all
of their achievements, not just some?
Yes, and something needs to be done
before more double majors graduate
from BU without the recognition they
deserve and need to succeed.

We all could use
impro vement

To the Editor
My sincere congratulations and
admiration for a job well done with
your recent article "A class for those
who have none". I especially appreciated the part emphasizing greater respect for the dining service.
It is often difficult and always challenging to consistantly provide quality service to 3200 experts, all with
individual tastes and expectations,
but with litde or no knowledge and
understanding of what goes on behind
the scenes to provide that service.
Although I initall y found myself
saying " Ri ght on. Preach it. You tell
'em", furdicr introspection revealed
that I too have room for improvement
in this area.
Occasionally while having a bad

day or feeling particularly stressed by
the business at hand , I' ve unleashed
my emotions on some student who
may have been deserving of a reprimand , but not the outpouring of a rude
and inexcusable verbal barrage seasoned with anger and sarcasm. To all
who have ever been the recipient of
my poor manners, I apologize.
Common sense coupled with a selfless rather than a self-centered attitude, simply demonstrated by thinking before one speaks or acts, would
produce significant progress in this
area of manners. This is my goal. I
trust it will be others also.
Sincerely

Political debate or dramatic pro duction?

BOSTON—For days we had heard
about the handlers and strategists, the
managers and debate coaches. We
heard them wrangle over the height of
lecterns, the lighting and distance
between candidates.
There were profiles on the
speechwriters who specialize in oneliners that would be delivered and
pollsters who tell them how to pitch to
the undecideds. We even heard about
the rehearsals — who played Bush for
Dukakis and Dukakis for Bush.
Finally last Sunday night, two candidates for President of the United
States came out to face the American
people all by themselves. And I suspect that few of us could hear their
words without also staying conscious
of the stage directions. Could you see
the riser under the governor's lectern?
Did the Vice President's voice go
tinny on him? Had Dukakis been told
to smile? Would Bush he able to finish
his sentences?
And if I may ask another set of
questions: Is this the year we have
finally all become insiders? Have we
become so sophisticated about the

backstage politics that we can no
longer see it like a voting audience,
but only like drama critics?
The debates Sunday night began
with a television commentator warning us that these "debates" would
really be joint press conferences.
They ended with the same commentators telling us amiably about the
spin controllers on the way. After all,
he seemed to suggest, we all know
about spin controllers now, the way
we all know about debate coaches.
It wasn't just the media that
watched for the one-liners; so did the
viewers. Even Bush joked about it.
You could almost see the stage
crew in every answer. As predicted , as
planned by the inner cirlce and reported by the media, Dukakis got in
the deficit, health care and his "passionate" desire to be commander in
chief. As predicted, as planned by the
innercircleandreporledby themedia,
Bush got in his Pledge of Allegiance
and a bit of Boston-bashing.
Almost every response could be
ascribed , in the insider vocabulary we
all understand now, to "targeted"

voters. Passion for the woman 's vote,
toughness for the Reagan Democrats.
The only unscripted moment in this
confrontation was near the closing
when a fly circled the governor's
head. One could imagine a member of
his staff saying, "Damn , why didn't
we rehearse with a fl y?"
In the early hours of Monday morning, the reporter on Good Morning
America began the debate analysis
saying, "Both candidates were very
well rehearsed. Who were they targeting?" And in the Miami He rald , ordinary viewers said things like, "He had
good one-liners." "He seems to have a
problem emotioning." "He made
himself more of a human being."
It reminded me of what a seasoned
political reporter said to me just days
ago. She went out into the heardand to
find out what people were talking
about this election year. She found out
they were talking about campaign
strategy.
If you prefer, blame it on Tedd y
White. He is the one who began to
write about the inner workings of
presidential campaigns in 1960. Or

blame it on the egos of those managers
and strategists, coaches and handlers,
speechwriters and campaign poll-takers who are only too eager to let us
know how important their roles are.
But once, only the political junkies
knew the language and the jobs of the
"operatives." Now that inner circle
has widened to include the great mass
of voters.
And as it widens, so inevitably does
our cynicism about politics.
The more we hear about campaign
strategies, the less we accept a
candidate's beliefs. The more we hear
from "operatives," the less faith we
have in a candidate's leadership.
If we think that the presidential
candidates today are small, maybe it is
not just because we see them up close
and personal on a 19-inch screen. It
may also be because every day we
observe the directors and producers,
and hear what they are trying to accomplish with this scene and that line.
Even this live debate carried the
subtext of the whole 1988 campaign:
Pay no attention to the man in front of
the curtain.

Me bimbo , you stud?
I'd like you to meet two
hypothetical friends of mine...
let's call them Jane and Tarzan.
Jane is an independent junior
here at Bloom. She wants her
own career in marketing when
she graduates. She likes to date
guys, but doesn 't want to get
involved with anything serious.
Tarzan is an independentsenior ,
also here at Bloom (what a coincidence , eh?). He plans to become a high school Biology
teacher. Tarzan likes to date a
lot of different girls, but nothing
serious—you know what I mean
( n ud g e ,n u d g e ,w i n k ,wink!).
Jane is a bimbo, while Tarzan is
a stud.
Yes, the never ending saga
of the double standard . Guys
have a reputation to live up to, as
girls wind up with a reputation
to live down. But things seem to
be changing, something wild is
happening... why, it looks like a
sexual revolution. Jane isn 't a
bimbo afterall , she 's human.
It's true , the Bloomsburg male
species is beginning to realize
that a girl with a brain can be
beautiful and is something to be
sought after... like a commodity.
And girls are starting to give
themselves some credit , they can
date a different guy every
week— and that DOESN'T
mean sleep with them—without
feeling sleazy.
Now you 're saying, "C'mon
Jen , what's your point?" Well ,

my point is that a conversation
between a guy and girl no longer
merely consists of your basic
congenialities. It mig ht even go
something like this...

JANE: Hi Tarzan , how ya
doing? Do you want to go to the
movie on c ampus this week?
TARZAN: Sure, I hear that
Wallstreet is a really interesting
Im about what really goes on in
the stock market.
JANE: That's what I heard
too, and if I'm going to have a
career in marketing, I'd better
see just how competitive CEO's
President' s of the maand
jor corporations are today.
TARZAN: That' s really good
planning Jane.
Okay, it may not go exactly
like that, but you get the idea.
This revolution isn't about
burning bras or protesting a
war (at least not this week). It's
all about mutual respect, just
like Aretha Franklin was singing about years ago... only now
it' s time to get up and dance
ladies, oh and gents, too!
And for those of you who
were quite satisfied with the
"Me Tarzan , you Jane" conversations (I do like to include everyone)... well, maybe you too
will come to see that there is
more to life than swinging on
branches that are bound to
snap.

Opinions welcome

If we can stand a few more words
about Guns n Roses, I have some.
First, Mr. Anderson , while you had
your dictionary open you should have
looked up the word opinion. According to Webster,an opinion "is a belief
not based on certainty but on what
seems to be true". That is what the
commentary page is all about. Opinion.
No, I did not take the time to research every perverted act by every
band since the beginning of time. My
commentary was based on a gut reaction to something I saw that was disturbing.
If you think calling that picture art
can justify the use of it forme, you are
sadly mistaken. I would probably find
the painting just as offensive if I saw
it hanging in the Gutenheim.
However, thank you for realizing
my point. It certainly doesn 't belong
on a t-shirt. The Mona Lisa would
loose a bit of artistic value if it were
placed on an Iron Maiden concert
shirt.
You were also mistaken about who
said comparing Guns n Roses to the

greats of rock was scary.It wasn't me.
I was referring to a letter to the editor
which appeared in the Sept. 15 issue.
Remember your fan club, "Students
Against Scott Anderson 's Taste in
Music"?
Not to belabor this issue any longer,
let me just say thank you for taking the
time to voice your opinion. That is
your right. I still may not agree with
you , however I am sure many do not
agree with me.
I write my opinions to stimulate
thought and initiate response. It
would be great if everyone took the
time to stand up for what they believe
in as you did.
I have been asked why I printed
your letter, considering you attempted to "ri p me apart." If I had not
I would have deprived you of your
right to an opinion and quite frankly
would have lived up to the label of
narrow minded.
However, please keep in mind that
my opinions, respected or not, are just
that — my opinions.

Women winning political race HUSKY A N N O U N C E M E N T S
By Karen Hosier

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-More than two
dozen bureau chiefs, columnists and
political reporters from leading newspapers gathered recently to hear Michael S. Dukakis' foreign policy adviser expound on the Democratic
presidential nominee's views.
They sat-middle-aged , faintl y
rumpled white men-in respectful attention and hoping for news on complex issues of war and peace from the
diminutive and matronly figure in
purple silk at the head of the table.
The gathering was nothing unusual
for Madeleine Albright , a Georgetown University professor who
says that in the field of foreign policy,
the meeting rooms are invariabl y full
of men.
But it was a harbinger of tilings to
come in diis town , which despite the
decline of many hoary male traditions, has rarely had to deal with
women at the center of governmental
or political power.
Mrs. Albright represents a first
generation of women political operatives and advisers that has come of
age with this presidential election
season and now influences the top
levels of both the Republican and
Democratic campaigns.
Regardless of whether Dukakis or
GOP nominee George Bush wins the
presidency, some of these women
will be propelled into the -highest
ranks of the new administration-integrating the elite inner sanctums of the
White House at a level far above the
secretaries and mostly junior female
aides who work Uicrc now.
Their advancement is not yet complete. No woman is actually at the
pinnacle of either campaign. Susan
Estrich , 36, who won national attention last fal l when Dukakis named her
the first woman manager of a presidential campaign , has been "layered ," insiders say, by the return of
predecessor John Sasso, who came
back in a more senior role.
And Margaret Tutwiler, 37, seen
by many as the most influential
woman in the Bush campaign, derives her power from her association
with campaign Chairman James A.
Baker III , a long-lime mentor whom
she serves as deputy and "right arm ."
The light circle of confidantes and

strategists immediately surrounding
each candidate includes people most
like themselves: middle-aged , white
and male. The Dukakis crowd of Paul
Brountas , Nicholas Mitropolous and
Sasso simply has a m ore ethnic flavor
lhan the combination of Baker, Robert
Teeter and Roger Ailcs.
But not far behind , helping to raise
the money, plot the strategy, put out

"There has definitely been a quan tum leap since 1984," said Sheila
Talc, 46, Bush 's chief spokeswoman,
who was Nancy Reagan 's press secretary when the Reagan-Bush team was
rc-cleclcd that year. Ms. Tutwiler, a
veteran of every GOP presidential
campai gn since 1976, could not recall
a single woman holding a post more
senior than treasurer in previous cam pai gns.
Aides to Dukakis made similar
observations.
Mindy Lubber, 35, a longtime
Massachusetts political activist, said
she was "shocked" at how many
women were involved in running the
Dukakis campai gn. "With a couple of
exceptions , the enti re administrative
staff here is run by women ," said Ms.
Lubber , who as chief scheduler for the
Dukakis-Bcntsen ticket commands a
frantic nerve center in Boston dubbed
"die pit."
There has been much debate between the two campaigns about which
candidate has the most women in trul y
senior positions.
The original appointment of Ms.
Estrich and talk of the "gender gap"
that earlier seemed to. plague. Bush
made it a campaign issue.
There is only one woman intimately involved in running Mike
Dukakis ' campaign , and because of
her the Bush campaign was made to
look sexist," said Janet Mullens, 39.
deputy political director and media

director for Bush. "Nobody is even
talking about the fact that Estrich has
not been seen or heard from in weeks."
"Everybody trotted Madeleine Albright out as a top adviser. We laug h at
that ," Ms. Mullen s added ."We've got
37,000 Madeleine Albrights running
around. She is just not a high level
player. Issues people don 't do that. "
But the Bush campaign also advertises an issues person , domestic policy
adviser Deborah Stcclman , as one of
die women play ing key roles in that
campaign.
A 33-ycar-old former public defender from Missouri who zoomed her
way up the political ladder in Washington , Ms. Stcclman has been credited with sensitizing Bush to issues of
particular concern lo women , such as
day care.
In recent weeks, his poll ratings
wi\hwomen have improved enoug h to
suggest the gender gap has disappeared.
"I'm delighted if our example has
encouraged diem to hire some women
," said Ms. Estrich , who still directs
the Dukakis staff on a day-to-day
basis, diough Sasso has taken over the
tactical planning and strategy that
guides the effort. "For much of the
primaries there was no Sheila Tate ,
dicrc was no Deborah Stcclman."
Fact is, neither campaign knows
much about the oilier, and the struclu
res are so different dial comparing
staffers job-for-job is misleading. By
rough approximation , il appears they
are about equall y represented by
women at the top.
Moreover, this phenomenon probably has less to do with cilher of die
candidates than with the evolution of
women in all professions.
"Women are advancing now because they paid their dues," observed
Linda Peck, 38, a public relations
consultant who worked in the Democratic campaigns of Jimmy Carter and
in the Carter White House before
becoming a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd , D-W ,Va>

'A View From the Bridge * enj oys successful opening

by Lori Ransier
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg University Players presented Ardiur Miller 's A View
From the Bridge in an excellent opening night performance to an appreciative crowd Friday night.
This, show created an atmosphere of
tense, moving energy that no one
should miss.
The play revolves around Eddie, a
New York longshoreman , his wife
Beatrice, the niece Uicy arc raising,
Catherine. Beatrice 's illegal immigrant cousins Rodolpho and Marco
are taken in by the family, putting
them in great danger if it is ever discovered that Eddie and his family are
hiding illegal aliens. The play then
focuses on the tensions that build
when Catherine and Rodolpho fal l in
love.
The cast of View deserves special
acclaim , especially Shawna Van Tatenhove, who accepted the role of
Catherine only two days before opening night.
The production ran its course
smoothly from beginning to end , tension building every step of the way.
Eddie , played by Tony Deitterick ,
reaches out widi his hate, pain , rage
and passion in a way that should leave
very few untouched.
Marco, convincingly portrayed by
Andrew Baylcy, is very "old world,"
very honorable and very protective of
his own.
Rodolpho (Wesley A. Young) was
bclicvcably excited , in love, angry; a
sweet kind of guy that every girl
dreams of meeting.
Newcomer Van Taienhovc took the
ball and ran with it in her brilliant
portrayal of Catherine. The audience
felt her love, her confusion , and her
divided loyalties with her.
Beatrice, played by Kim Sloan , is
aunt ,' wife, and cousin , trying to make
it all work. Sloan did a marvelous job ,
especially in the scenes where she
confronted Catherine or Eddie.
MIMIIIIIHII IIBII iiiiiiiiiininiTnraaTl

Mr. Alficri (David Waterman) is a
lawyer, and narrator of this story.
Eddie consults him , thinking that
Rodolpho is onl y interested in Catherine so that he can marry her to become an American citizen.
Alficri tells the story with convincing speeches. Although he missed
several lines, he covered so well that
it would require a familiarity with the
play to catch him.
The rest of the cast, David O'Brien ,
Douglas Rapson , Bill Greenly, and
Todd A. Miller rounded out the cast
as background characters, and also
deserve credit.
The movementof characters getting
into place was at times distracting, but
not enough to hurt the overall performance.
The entire cast and crew acted as an
ensemble in a way BJoomsburg University has not seen in many moons.
There was a unity and flow to the production dial docs Director JodyLynn
Swartz credit.
The set, designed by John Wade,
advanced the storyline and added
immensely to the tension-building as
did the costumes, created by Karen
Anselm.
The multimedia projecdons used
with the set made the show even more
incredible with walls of buildings
vanishing to show a room inside
where the scene took place.
The lighting, by T. Andrew Wright ,
also enhanced the action of the play by
helping to isolate certai n characters ,
placing them in their own separate
pool.
It is also impressive to note that the
American College Theatre Fcsdval
judged this production for inclusion
in national collegiate theatre competition in Bingham ton , NY. Results
will be known next week.
This is a show not to be missed.
Performances this week are at 8
p.m . in Mitrani Hall of Haas auditorium , Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Oct. 7 through Oct. 9.

An immigration officer confronts illegal alien Marco and his cousin Beatrice,whose family has been hiding him and his brother,in the Bloomsburg Players' production of 'A

dance music.
Program Director Tracey Grace
describes BUQ as " ... an alternative
station. That is, we're an alternative to
the top 40 stations in the area. ... That 's
why we do mostly progressive —
because an alternative stadon needs
alternative music. And it's good music — it really is."
Some of die people who really seem
to appreciate BUQ are the disc jockeys.
They are required to play the progressive format during each of their
two-hour shows. Though they sometimes find the format a hassle because
they do no get to play the music they
want, most of the DJ' s agree that the
progressive style is a posidve feature
of the stadon.
Comments senior DJ Moe Hines,
"[By listening to] all new progressive
music, you can find some interesting
new groups!!"
In terms of publicity, the station has
come a long way since it first began. It
now has sponsors from businesses in

So, on Sept. 16, 1985 at 6 p.m., the

However, since that fateful day in
1985, there have been some changes

BUQ plays mostly progressive music,

According to Grace, "We have

Comedy-drama nominated for seven
Academy Awards featured this week

I

by Mike Moyer
Staff Writer
Broadcast the news , Broadcast
News is the movie to see. Writer/Director James L. Brooks ' (Terms of
Endearment) second film was nominated for seven Academy Awards last
year.
The academy made a mistake in not
awarding any Oscars to Broadcast
News, but Brooks makes no mistakes
in this comedy-drama masterpiece.
Set against the backdrop of a Washington network news station«the film
focuses on the lives of three people. It
explores how each person affects the
other , and how each is affected by the
broadcast news business.
Meet Jane Craig (Holly Hunter),
one of the producers of the news.
She 's hardworking, demanding and
obsessive. She has no social life because she's constantly working day
and ni ght. In a funny running gag, she
cries every morning to relieve stress.
Meet Aaron Altman (Albert
Brooks), one of the smartest, but least
respected , reporters at the station.

Murph, the physical comedian, comes to Bloomsburg Oct. 8.

He's so smart he graduated from high
school at the age of 14. But he 's also
insecure and lonely, and hides behind
his hilarious sense of humor , so no one
knows how much he really hurts.
Meet Tom Grunick (William Hurt) .
He's the new anchorman on die block.
Tom is handsome, well-spoken , and...
an airhead. As he says in the film , "I
don 't even understand the news I' m
?
reading."
He admits that he 's not die smartest
guy around, but he doesn 't do anything to change himself.
All three interact with each oilier.
Aaron has loved Jane probably since
die first time he met her. Jane cares
deeply for Aaron , but just as a good
friend.
When Tom arrives, Jane is so confused about her attraction to him because he personifies everything she
hates about the news business: he's a
fake. He's an anchorman because of
his looks, not for his qualifications,
^nd , of course, Aaron is very jealous
if Tom.
All this may sound like a light,

never forget.

everyone worships as a god.
Broadcast News is one of the best
films to come along in a while. Very
rarely does a film explore a subject as
thoroughl y and realistically as this one
docs.
It 's even more rare that a film lias
such three-dimensional characters.
You see all sides of Aaron , Jane, and
Tom: anger, desperation , happiness ,
jealousy, and sadness. Their characterizations arc so complex and so real.
The humor rises from the characters. There are no cheap laughs. The
situations ring true because in a threeway relationship like Aaron 's, Jane's,
and Tom 's, someone is bound to get
hurt.
Broadcast Newsisatilm lhalblcnds
happiness and sadness successfully, is
perceptive and witty, and , most of all ,
is a film lhal cares very deeply about
its subject and its characters.
Show dates and times are: Wednesday and Thursday , Oct. 5 and 6, at2:30
p.m. in Kehr Union; Wednesday and
Friday nights at 7 and 9:30 p.m. and 2
p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 in Carver Hall.

buffoon , someone who cleverly combines the magic of the
circus, the bite of the stand-up

movement of the mime and
gymnast?

of person described above, you

fluffy romantic comedy, but it 's not.
It's so much more.BroadcaslNews is
a comedy with a message. What Director Brooks is saying is that the
news business is all a show. It 's all
style over substance, which is proven
throug h the character of Tom.
Brooks also explores relationshi ps

Wrestling

by Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
Nothing ever comes easily in athletic competition. And lately, it seems
that less and less comes naturally. The
Ben Johnson controversy is one small
example of the athlete who crosses the
line—one who stretches natural abilities by taking steroids or other drugs
that effect the psychomotor and central nervous system.
Carl Lewis experienced first-hand
an unnatural defeat and then later was
awarded the Gold Medal for the 100
meter dash when Johnson was disqualified. What kind of pressures will
steroid users place on seriously dedicated natural athletes in the future? It
will be interesting to see how the
world of intercollegiate sports will be
impacted. Many can 't find a common
ground when it comes to steroids. Is
there really a problem in college
sports?
"I don 't think they (steroids) are a
v/idc-spread problem now," comments Head Football Coach Peter
Adrian. "The players and the coaches
have become better educated about
them—they realize that they
shouldn 't use them because of the side
effects. We always ask, why in the
world would you want to do something if you don't know how your
body will react to it 10 or 15 years
down the road?"
Adrian believes that steroid use is
not a problem because athletes have
become much better educated. "As
coaches, we certainly look for it and
preach to the kids about just working
hard. I'm not saying that we don 't
have any (users), but I think kids have
become better educated and that 's the
number one factor." Adrian backed up
his belief by pointing out that 3,000
college-level football players have
been tested by the NCAA in the last

person's own choice."
The question remains—will that
choice pressure natural athletes into
taking the same route? *
Assistant Wrestling Coach Tom
Martucci believes that steroid-use is
definitely effecting the world of intercollegiate sports. "It's a problem
where you get an athlete that wants to
do well and compete. If he's competing against another person involved in
the same situation, and this guy's on
steroids, he's getting faster and bigger
and there's no way he can compete
with him unless he does it himself. It's
almost like a Catch 22; you either do it
or you don 't. "
Martucci graduated from a Division
I school where he believed steroid use
was prevalent. "I've always known
the physical ej ects. The one that
scares me the most is that it might
damage a fetu s in the future," he
stated.
Martucci believes that many people
are educated about steroids, but some
have a greater desire to make a team ,to
be the best. "I think the crazy thing is
that a lot of people not even involved
in athletics are on them! It's like
smoking—some people can do them
and it may never effect them. Others
might just do it once and it may have a
fatal effect on them. It depends on
body chemistry."
Adrian pointed out that it's not yet
proven that steroid use improves your
performance. "Studies show that there
is no significant strength difference.
You gain weight, but not good weight.
It's like water weight."
Martucci commented, "It would be
nice to have all athletes tested and to
take it upon ourselves (as a university)
to do that."
Resolving a Catch 22 issue is never
easy, and the solution is also something that will not come naturally.

Brown also stated that the procedure was "just an uncomfortable
th ing." When athletes are tested, they
are taken into a room , sign a form ,
have a urine validator constantly present during the procedure, and cannot
leave the room until two sample
bottles are filled with 100 ml of urine.
It 's a known fact that wrestlers
don 't have a lot of fluids in their bodies
because they must maintain their
weights for competition. Brown said,
"They make us drink and eat stuff
while we're in that voom and I was
seven pounds over my weight limit!"
He suggested that the NCAA test
people before a national tournament
begins. "It would cause an athlete
more embarrassment by getting
caught after the act lhan before the act.
It could cut out a lot of problems." He
cited the Ben Johnson case. "What
about the guy who look second? He
could' vc had first if that guy had not
taken steroids."
Brown was also skeptical about the
randomness of the selection at the
1987 national tournament. Both
Brown and David Kennedy, a twotime BU wrestling champ, were sick
and taking medication such as nasal
spray and cough drops. "It was ironic
that we were both taking medicine and
we both got picked ," Brown stated. "I
think its odd that they picked 16
people at random from all the teams in
the nationals, and they picked two
from BU. I think they picked on a lot
of little schools in the random testing
last year."
He added , "If somebody wants to
take steroids, it 's up to them. I see now
what the effects can become, if someone wants to take steroids, they 've
gotta ask the question, do I really belong where I' m at? If you feel fine
getting where you 're at by using steroids, that 's your decision. It's a

couple of years and less than 2 percent
have tested positive for steroid use.
"Everybody was surprised ," he said.
Roger Sanders, head wrestling
coach , takes a different view . "I think
drugs are a problem period , not only in
athletics , but in society today. Personally, I feel there is no place for them on
the playing field or off the play ing
field."
The problem not only involves
education , but most certainly choice.
"Some athletes are aware of the problems associated with steroid use, but
they arcchosing to ignore them. Some
people do not know the long-range
side effects that might be involved ,"
Sanders stated.
Drug testing by the NCAA usually
takes place at national tournaments
and certain football contests. Selection for the procedure is mostly done
on a random basis, but athletes can be
selected on the basis of playing time,
positions , and suspicion as well. And ,
these testing procedures are very
costly.
The tests are strong enough , but is
there enough money to do it?" Adrian
asked. Sanders stated , "Testing by the
NCAA is nice and that 's good for all
sports. If we can deter one person , then
it's been a successful endeavor."
He added , "I would like to see us be
able to test at local levels. I wish that
the expense involved in drug testing
wasn 't so much , and that we would be
able lo do it more often without violating anyone 's rights."
BU Junior Scott Brown , a wrestler
who competed in last year's national
tournament , was randomly selected at
the tournament for drug testing and
tested right after his match. He believes that the procedure is necessary
but that it violates athletes ' rights.
"But you can 't get past it, you gotta
test people."

(Knowing there 's,
not much to say; a
short note on the
Phillies)
by Sean Ryan
Sports Editor
Phillies, the name itself sends chills
to all Philly fans such as myself.
Here is just a brief depressing synopsis of the season.
Low notes of the season:
Two weeks ago the Phillies
needed to win two games to make
sure they would not hit triple digits
in losses. Meaning if they did' t win
two games they would have accumulated 100 losses or even more.
OH, my god. But not to worry my
friends, our Phillies actually did
win two more games and ended the
season with a record of 64-95.
Well , actually there is still lots to
worry about.
They were plagued with men on
the injured reserve during the season, including Hayes, Schmidt , and
Milt Thompson to name just a few.'
The best pitcher for the Phillies
was Kevin Gross, with a record of
12-14.
High notes of the season:
The amazing rookie Ricky Jordan
started for the Phillies about halfway through the season when Von
Hayes was injured , and finished
with the Phillies highest balling
average, .313. Look for him to be in
contention for rookie of the year,
but don 't expect him to win it,
Steve Bcdrosian , the Phillies best
reliever finished with 27 savcs,4th
bestin the National League, almost
half of the Phillies wins.
Samuel almost won the triple doubleawardfor the second consecutive year, but fell two triples short.
He hit 32 doubles, 8 triples, and 12
home runs.
What to do:
With new General Manager Lee
Thomas looking into the future
look for a lot of changes in the
Phillies rosier.
To name just a few, we need to get
rid of the Manager, Lee Elia, but
that has already been taken care of.
One step in the right direction for
the Phils.They have not named the
new Manager but rumors have it
that it may be Nick Leyva of the
Cardinals.
At shoprtstop, we need to "relieve" Steve Jeltz. He hasn't done
scratch since becoming a Philly, he
batted .187 for the season. For the
Phillies to become a contender, we
need to get a better shortstop.
We need to bag catcher Lance Parrish. He was expected to do great
things for the Phillies, an he hasn't
impressed anybody in the slightest.
Pitching. The only bright spot in
thier staff is last year's Cy Young
Award winner, Bcdrosian . Not one
Philly pitcher finished with a winning record. They need a Goodcn or
a Herschciser, an ace pitcher to
build around the rest of the staff.
We need a good left-handed rcIeiver. As of now Bruce Ruffin
didn 't work out, he finished with a
6-10 record and a 4.43 ERA , not
impressive nimbers to say the least.
They have to realize that they arc
not one or two players away from
contending. "This team needs some
serious surgery, not just a few bandages."
Juan Samuel was quoted as saying
