News Editor
State Senator Ed Helfrick teamed
up with Phi Delta sorority and Beta
.Sigma Delta fraternity at Saturday 's
Homecoming parade to spread the
word on drugs to the crowd and onlookers-Just Say No.
He commented after the parade that
he is glad to sec the race aginst John
Showers for the 27th district scat
winding down.
Part of his stance against drugs include legislation introduced in a five
part package to strengthen existing
laws.
The laws include drug-free school
zones, modeled after New Jersey legislation , which call for a manditory
sentence of three years for selling or
delivering illegal substances within
1000 feet of a school , college or university.
Other tencnis of the legislation in-

clude 20 year manditory sentences for
people manufacturing or selling drugs
for profit , and a $100 surcharge for
every drug and alcohol conviction to
fund education on drugs.
"Drugs are a number one priority
for me and I think it will be for everybody," Helfrick commented. "The
legislation introduced was a step towards getting really tough on drugs
and is aimed at sellers and producers."
Helfrick stated that he is proud of
Bloomsburg Univers ity and his son
graduated from the school in 1986.
He backed recent hikes in the Stale
System of Education budget which
decreased tuition by $52 for the 91,000
students attending the slates 14 higher
educational institutions this spring.
Senate Bill 1437 provided $4.43
million for educational and general
approprations monies for ihe slate system which is a 5.5 per cent increase
over last year.

the McCormick Human Services
Center.
The topic will be "Bloomsburg
Week in Review:Young Journalists
and Washington Politics".
The lecture and programs are part of
the Provost's Lecture Series.
Next month's speaker is Douglas
Fraser.
Fraser is a member of Chrysler s
Board of Directors and an expert on
labor-management relations.

In private meetings with his top arms
con troladviscrs , Democratic presidential nominee Michael S. Dukakis is
said to return again and again to a
question that sharply defines a key
difference with his Republican opponen t, George Bush.
Wh y, Dukakis asks, docs the United
Stales need any more strategic nuclear
weapons than il has now? The Massachusetts governor , an advocate in 1982
ol freezing U.S. nuclear weapons testing, production and deployment , remains deepl y skeptical thai eight
years of nuclear rearmament under ihe
Reagan-Bush administration has improved U.S. security.
As president , Dukakis says, he would
try to negotiate bans on underground
nuclear explosions and ballistic missile flight tests needed for new weapons development and he would attempt to halt deployment of highly
accurate nuclear weapons.
None of these goals has been a high
priority for the community that dominates U.S. arms control policy-making, and achievement of them would
disrupt the milita ry 's plans to build a
new and ever-chang ing array of nuclear weapons systems, possibly including missile defenses.
In contrast , Bush says thai modern
nuclear arms have brought the United
Stales increased security by enhancing its political stature and demonstrating American resolve.
He favors deployment of new weapons designed to shoot down enemy
satellites and a new land-based missile
capable of striking Soviet targets with
pinpoint accuracy; continued under-

ground nuclear tests; and continued
flight testing of ballistic missiles.
Bush also has supported the bitterly
conteslcd "broad" or permissive reading of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile
(ABM) treaty, which bolh Congress
and the Soviet Union rejects , and has
backed a costly program to develop
ballistic missile defenses "as fast as
we can."
Bush and Dukakis bring sharply
contrasting ideas to the debate over
the relationship of nuclear weapons to
national security . Dukakis declared
last year that "the price tag of the arms
race goes up and up, but the product
has no value. There is no return on the
investment."
He emphasizes the high cost of
buildingand maintaining nuclear force
and says that deep reductions on bolh
sides couldevcnlually allow the United
States to divert funds in to non-military cxpcnditurcs/'National strength
cannot be measured in guns and missiles alone," Dukakis said.
Behind his skepticism about the need
for additional nuclear weapons
Dukakis' view that the existing U.S.
arsenal is "enough to blow up the
Soviet Union 40 times over" and "far
more than enough" to deter any attack.
"Nuclear war can nei ther be won
nor survived ," he told the Air Force
1986 letter opposing construction of a
supplementary military communications network designed to carry orders
for nuclear strikes in a prolonged war.
In 1984, he barred Massachusetts' participation in federal planning for relocation of millions of residents in the
event of a nuclear attack.
At the same time, Dukakis successfully opposed efforts by some Demo-

Affirmative action
growing stronger
by Sheraton Smith
Staff Writer
During the past few years the administration of Bloomsburg University has
focused on minority recruitment and
retention.
An important influence in making
this policy succcsful is an effective affirmativcaciiondepartment. As chairman of the a ffirmative action , George
Mitchell is one influential administrative member who can initiate and
enforce the placement of minority
employees to the university community.
Mitchell noted that since 1982 there
was an increase i n the number of black
university employees from eight to the
present number of 26. In 1984 there
was a total 18 minority employees.
This year, that fi gure has risen to 55.
He stressed that the goal of affirmative action is lo increase equal employment and education opportunities

cratic activists to include a call for
large military spending cuts and aU.S.
pledge of "no first use" of nuclear
weapons in the party 's campaign plat- '
form.
Under pressure from the Bush
campaign in September, Dukakis also
gave unqualified support of several
new nuclear weapons systems initially ordered by President Jimmy
Carter, including a highly accurate
submarine-launched missile, the D5;
a long-range, radar-resistant airlaunched cruise missile; and the Stealth
bomber. He has resisted conservative
Democrats who want him to endorse
with qualification the costly deployment of additional land-based nuclear
missiles such as the Midgetman or the
MX as urged in 1983 by President
Reagan's Commission on Strategic
Forces and accepted by many Democratic legislators.
HaroldBrown .aDukakiscampaign
adviser who was Carter's defense
secretary from 1977 to 1981,adds that
Dukakis is probably "more anti-nuclear than most U.S. presiden ts but
less so than Reagan ," who at the 1986
U.S.-Sovict summit meeting in
Reykjavik , Iceland, unsuccessfully
proposed lo eliminate all nuclear ballistic missiles.
Bush , who is less enthusiastic about
drastic arms reductions than Dukakis,
has made the need to continuously
build new nuclear weapons a major
theme of his campaign.
"Only a willingness to keep our arms
up to date makes the Soviet Union
respect America's deterrent," he told
an August convention of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
"Only the constant modernization
of our forces , complete with the testing of new systems, gives the Soviets
the incentive to negotiate real arms
control agreements."

This letter is in response to the Theta

For starters, Theta Chi is a creation
of Lori Barsness and die rest of the BU

trying to rid the campus of fraternities
and sororities who stand up to the
administration. Before Lori. all greeks
were happy with membership and the
system in whole.
Now enters Lori and the rest of the
dictators who attempt to create their
own ideal greek system. They start
with Them Chi. These guys come from

I' m sick and tired of people who

Royal Ballet twirls
through Mitrani
Michele Ii. H upp
Staff Writer
About 1200 students and community members attended the performance of The Royal Ballet of Flanders,
sponsored by ihe University Celebrity
Artist Scries, Thursday evening in
Mitrani Hall.
The 35-mcmbcr troupe performed a
scries of serious ballet and li ght comedy ballet pieces.
Selections included , Allegro
Brilliante , Go! Said Max, a modem
dance piece with two dancers, Symphony in D , and the Act III of Don
Quixote.
Technical difficulties involving the
sound equipment caused the show to
begin about 20 minutes laic. The
company 's crew attempted lo correct
it, yet sound problems prevailed
throughout the show.
The scraping and hilling of ballet
slippers against ihe stage was heard
above the recorded music distracted
the audience.
In addition , prior to the opening of
the curtain , it was announced that four
dancers were replaced for others.
Details were noi provided.
Allegro Brilliante , a brisk , quick
piece utilizing five couples with one
dancer of each couple being the soloist, opened the show with enthusiasm.
A modern piece with classical and
contemporary movements/Jo/ Said
Max , demonstrated rivalry between a
male and female dancer in a comedy
setting.
The comed y routines in Joseph

Haydn 's Symphony D were well-received by the audience.
Elaborate props and stage setting
contributed lo the drama of Don Quixote , Act III. This enactment brought
the dancers into a more serious li ght
than previous pieces.
Although both the comedy and seriousness of the performance proved
successfu l by the response of the
crowd , the dancers movements
looked choppy and short; ihcy were
not utilizing the full range of motion.
Asa group, the troupe often failed to
move in time with the music, and
when the dancers realized Ihcy were
behind step, they would rush the
music. The result was sloppy movements in some instances.
However, the audience didn 't seem
to notice, or mind.
According to Nancy Voughl , Administrative Assistant of Student Affairs at Bloomsburg University, ihe
troupe has received 514,000 for the
performance.
Voughl would like lo commission
the troupe to return lo Bloomsburg but
not for at least five years because she
docs not want to repeat events.
"I like to have new events for the
students. I wail until ihe student
graduates until I bring the same performers back," she said.
Tickets for nearly all theatre performances at Bloomsburg University
arc free for students with BU idenlilcalion.
Tickets arc available al the information desk in Kehr Union.

Lions, tigers and beasts, oh my

by Douglas Rapson
Games Expert
Editor 's note : Gameknobs and Joysticks will now be a regular column ,
appearing Mondays.
It seems as though my two editors
are always hassling me for my latest
feature or column. It would only seem
fair that The Voice provide funding
for my research on this column.
However, as much as I would enjoy
that, I think I will have to support my
own addiction.
That in mind , I present this week's
addiction.
Altered Beast is for those who ever
enjoyed reading talcs of swords and
sorcery. It is rig ht up the alley of those
of us who used to play the game
Dungeons and Dragons.
The premise behind the game is
fairly simple. An evil scorccrcr has
wisked away the daug hter of some
lesser diety. Don 't ask me wh y this
guy can 't save his own daughter ~
that 's why he brings you back from the
grave.

As you wander through this fantasy
world you must face all sorts of
nasties that want to slop you in the
worst way. These guys range from
your typ ical zombie to flying demons
to nasty "hcad-suckcrs" (I don 'tknow
if that 's the technical term , but you get
the idea).
As you make your way through the
level, you get the chance lo kill the
sacred two-headed white wolf. This
guy will die releasing a magic sphere
that will allow you to "Power Up."
After collecting three of these
power pellets, you arc supcrchaged
into a werewolf, gargoyle, and more.
Each of these creatures has different
powers to defeat the nasties that you
will face during your quest.
At the end of each wave, you fight
an even bigger and baddcr nasty. I
mean , isn 't that the way it always is in
these games ?
Don 't get loo comfortable in that
new body of yours, though. After each
wave, the wicked sorcerer appears and
changes you back to your human

In March, 1988 the organizaiion
branched into ihrcc other stale —
California (naiional headquarters are

Saturday 's cold , rainy weather
discouraged many Husky fans
from attending the annual Homecorn ing Parade. The crowd lining
Main Street was notably smaller
than previous years.
Desp ite the poor parade turnout
and the miserable weather, Karl
Steiner was there as fie has been
for the past 20 years.
Heads turned as Steiner walked
down the rain-slicked street Saturday morning. Smiles greeted
the short , clderiy man wearing
black-rimmed glasses and carrying maroon and gold balloons in
one hand.
Decked in a red , green and blue
plaid suit and wearing a matching
wide brim hat he strutted down
the street cry ing, "Balloons , balloons! (Jet your homecoming balloons!"
Steiner has been selling balloons
at the Bloomsburg Homecoming
Parade for the past 20 years and
plans on coming back for many
more years.
"The people in Bloomsburg are
always very nice ," Steiner said. "I
enjoy coming here and working
the parade. The people here are
more friendly th an most other
places."
Ori g inall y from Greensburg,
Steiner says,"!' ve been a carnie all
my life ."
He exp lains that carnies are
peop le who travel from town to
(own performing and entertaining at parade s, fairs , and carnivals. Steiner also faithfully attends the Bloomsburg Fair each
venr.
Many Bloomsburg University
students and alumni remember
Steiner from previous years. One
student commented that Steiner
seemed to be just as dependable as
the parade itself.
Steiner became a carnie when
he was six years old.
Pete the 10-Foot Giant, a carnie ,
introduced Steiner to the world Of
traveling shows, bright carnival
lights, and big crowds.
Since then he has returned
again and again to the same towns
to entertain and bring smiles to
the faces of young and old.
Steiner vividly remembers each
town lie 's been in.
"I'm in the 1979 Bloomsburg
yearbook ," he says proudly.
"There's a picture of me righ t in
there."
At 75 years old , Steiner has a vitality and cheerfulness that
warms the hearts of both adults
and children alike.
Rain or not , parade-goers can
be sure to spot Steiner walking
down Main Street wearing his
plaid outfit and carrying his balloons.
Steiner says he'll definetly be
back next year to bring a piece of
sunshine to the annual parade.

BSTC never looked like this

by Douglas Rapson
Staff Writer
My famil y is dominated by Huskies , but sometimes it seems wc can 't be the same breed. My dad is an alumnus
of Bloomsburg State Teacher 's College and bolh my sister and I have made BU our choice for«sol!egc.
I still remember Uic fi rst lime iluii my parents brought mc up to Bloom. I knew that Dad had graduated from
Bloomsburg . And yet , he looked around as though he had just landed on Mars.
I knew the di ploma in our den read Bloomsburg Stale Teacher 's College. I couldn 't help but ask, "Are you sure
its the same Bloomsburg? Maybe lucre 's two of them. "
But back in 1961 , when Dail graduated, BSTC looked very different than BUdoes today.
There were onl y two dorms on campus. About 100 men , mostly football players and other athletes, lived in the
men 's dorm. All of the other guys lived off campus in houses around town.
When Dad mentioned Waller , I finally thought wc were gelling somewhere. But then he went on to say how
Waller Hall , the only women 's dorm on campus, was situated where-the Scranton Commons now is. The building was Z-shapcd and one of ihe arms had the commuter lounge and school store.
This was not the same Waller that many of us dread. This was not the Waller that often limes seems like a giant
Hoover Vacuum , sucking the money out of our pockets.
I tried to explain this to my dad , but all he kept say ing was that the area I was talking about was where the old
football stadium used lo. be. And next to that , was the old baseball field. There was no field on the upper campus.
There was no upper campus.
Of course , many of us have classes in , or at least know of , Old Science and Navy Hall. These buildings were
around in my dad's day. Ho wcver , jus i when 1 thoug ht wc might be talking about the same Bloomsburg, Dad started
talking about Sutliff Hall , the science building.
Dad did/ecogni/.e many of the landmark s in town. Apparently, the Woolworth's that I get some of my supplies
at was doing a booming business back in 1961 as well.
Some changes have been made. The Aivin a Krausc Theater, now home lo the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble,
was a movie house during Dad' s lime at Bloom .
"I can remember seeing 90 percent of Bridge on the River Kwai in that theater," Dad once told me.
Apparentl y, girls could only be out until a c'eriain time and good old dad didn 't realize that the movie would run
so long. So Dad and his dale had to leave the film ri ght before the end , and sprint up the hill to make her curfew.
It seems so hard to believe that things could have changed that much in only 30 years. But I guess they have.
Because when 1 asked Dad what The Voice was like back then , he said that the school paper was a lot heavier in
his time because it was chiseled on sionc tablets .

Sum) up comics Dv.:i\ nc Cimning h:im will appear in the Kehr Union on Oct. 27.

Homecoming lias
evolved over time
by Melissa Harris
Staff Writer
"November J6: Alumni visited.
Bloomsburg 14 East Stro udsburg 0. "'
That was all thai appeared in the 1930
edition of the Obiter to record Homecoming for prosperity.
Apparently it wasn 'tabi g deal way
back when , at least not bi g enough lo
merit much of an entry in the most permanent record events at Bloomsburg
State Teacher 's College.
One would think that the hisiory of
Homecoming would be rather well
documented. It 's been around nearly
as long as yearbooks , so a comp lele
history should be easily available in
the storehouse of yearbooks. Wrong.
In the late 1920s when Homecoming started , it was nothing like it is
now. Alumni came back and their was
always a bi g game, but the other trappings , the queen , the banners and pa-

rade , cilherdidn ' i exisi or Jidn 'tmcrit
copy in ihe yearb ook.
By the 1940s , Homecoming had
grown . More events were recorded in
ihe yearbook , and the Homecoming
Oueen had a whole page to her self.
In ihe 60s and 70s Homecoming
took up pages of ihe Ob iter. Events
todav ' s students are familia r with ,
such as Alumni-Student mixers ,
decorating halls and a dance existed
pretty much hi their present form.
Bloomsburg Uni versity 's Homecoming in the late 19S0s is a long way
from what a small , teacher 's education oric.nied school did in the 20 s. If
the Class of 1927. the first locelcbratc
Homecoming could lia\e been in
Bloomsburg tins weekend , ihey
would have be ama/cd.

Jfi- e- Tcu-k, of
iB Cooni-sbu-rq
by Jason Knig ht
for The Voice
As
you
are
entering
Bloomsburg from the south on
U.S Route eleven , there stands a
sian next to the Citgo gas station
that states " Bloomsburg, the only
tow 11 in Pennsy lvania. " Being the
curious type , I decided to investi"
gate.
- .
I thought the the logical thing to
do would be to ask employees of
the gas station that sits next to the
si gn. Not a good idea.
I asked Earl Ziegler about
Bloomsburg being the only town
in the state. As he pumped by gas,
he said "That' s what they say, but
I' ve seen a lot town 's around,
may be it had something to do with
population or maybe it was one bl
the first around." I'm not sure
what he meant.
Then I asked a friend of mine,
Steve Fetter-man ,who has lived in
Bloomsburg all his life. He said
"It's a town because of the
amount of industry and the population. " That seemed logical to
! me, but aren 't there other places
around that would fit into the
"town" category?
Next I went to the ColumbiaMontour tourist agency and
I talked to the woman there. She
recommended the Chamber or
Commerce.
The women in charge, Edna
Lynn ,, recommended a book Columbia County Place Names , by
the University 's very own Dr.
Walter M. Brasch. I gleaned the
following information.
"In 1870 , state Senator Charles
R. Buckalew successfully sponsored leg islation that allowed for
the establishment of towns as distinct from villages and boroughs." The political system of
the corporate body was to distinguish towns.
That same year Bloomsburg
applied for and became the first
and only town in Pennsylvania. In
1920, Bloomsburg decided not to
continue the political structure,
but was allowed to keep its desi gnation as a town .

political discussions

By Paul Cwtti

L.A. Times-Washington I' ost Service

To Santa Monica , Calif. , screenwriter Robin Love , the problem with
Americans is that they ' re loo timid in
expressing their political views.
Love, who grew up in Australia ,
says that she can 't think of anything
belter than to have a knockdown ,
drag-out battle in which guests are
pounding the dinner fable , rattling the
crystal and getting red in the face.
That, she says , is the way they do it
Down Under.
But in America, she says, as soon as
the discussion begins to get a little
heated, people get embarrassed and
change the subject.
"Americans ought to learn to loosen
upand enjoy the argument, then go out
and have a beer together , " Love says.
The reason Americans don ' t express political views more openl y —
even "ow in tl^ hcicht of a presiden-

tial election season — is mat those
views tend to be a reflection of their innermost needs and longings, says
Walter Fisher, a University of Southern California professor of rhetorical
theory.
So when a person docs express an
opinion , Fisher says, "They take an
incredible risk. "
Of course, Fisher says, there are
people "who live for strife and onl y
feel alive when they arc in competition , and if there isn 't any agitation
going on , (they) create it. "
Movie critic Michael Mcdvcd of the
"Sneak Previews" TV show knows
such people.
They don 't air their political views
to get new information , "They (do) it
to vent aggression. "
So how do you get along with someone whose political opinions are violentl y different from your own?
It 's not always possible, Mcdved
says. So unless you enjoy feeling "as
if you arc ripping someone 's heart
out ,"ilmaybcbcstto !elslccpingdogs

Most people in my industry arc
liberal not as a matter of political belief , but as religious belief , " he notes.
"And questioning any of their
orthodoxy is like telling a follower of
(ihe Rev . Jerry) Fahvcll that you 're
not so sure about Jesus. You can 't do
it. " So in polite company, "I bile my
tongue. "
Besides, Mcdvcd says, "most political conversations are not so much
about political issues as about feelings or a view or the world.
" Therefore , he says , getting into an
argument is "a waste of time. "
For many veterans of dinner table
political wars , the onl y way lo talk
politics sensibly is to stick lo the
issues and stay away from the underly ing ideology.

People don t change their mindson
basic ideology, anyway, and if you
start attacking their fundamental beliefs, all that happens is they really
get upset.
Though he sometimes gets into
major disagreements with colleagues, Judge Alex Kozinski, a
Reagan appointee to the 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals, says that he never
deludes himself that he will change
their basic philosophy.
"Past college," he says, "your
views are set."
What he does instead, he says, is
tell the other judge that "given your
general philosophy, you shouldcome
out with me on this one."
The important thing, Kozinski
says, is to build bridges and coalitions, not fight over differences. And
to do that, "you take your allies everywhere you can get them."
In any event, Kozinski says, there
is no relation between a person's
politics and his qualities as a friend.
And of all his colleagues on the
bench, he says, "the person I get along
best with" is the one person he disagrees with most often.
On Ihe other hand, there is a type of
person to be avoided: the ideologue,
a person so stubborn and inflexible
that he cannot conduct a civil conversation about anything.
'Ideologues tend to have rigid
minds in areas other than politics,"
Berkeley, Calif., writer Michael
Rossman says.
"It 's not a political flaw. It 's a character flaw.
"It 's also destructive," says Ken
Kelcy, former minister of information for the White Panther Party.
"You can't get crazed and say, "
You are my enemy forever because
you don 't support Albania.' Life is
too short for that stuff."

Citizens of small world on top of universe after decorating win

by Melissa S. Mcnap acc
Feature s Editor
It was a very small world at
Bloomsburg University 's Child
Care Center last week. Tiny "citizens " of the world won the Homecoming Office Decoration}; competition.
"When you sit clown with a
group of children , they can really
brainstorm ," said Child Care
director .Judy Colcman-Brinich.
"This won 't be over , even when all
this is torn down. "
"All this " was five countries set

up in the Child Care Center in the
basement of Elwell Residence Hall.
A one-room rustic colonial schoolhouse stood next to an elegant
Japanese room.
A festive Italian restaurant , pinata-draped Mexico and a Dutch
tulip garden completed the international look.
The elaborate planning kept the
staff busy for nearly a month , but
most of the construction and decorating was done by the children.
Some of the younger ones painted
the cardboard floor mats that went

around the Japanese table and
made Japanese flags.
Older children used paper
niaiche and sheets of construction
paper to turn everyday objects
into a Mexican adobe or an oldfashioned wood stove. The children decided to put their wooden
blocks in the stove to simulate fire
wood.
One boy caused a last minute
change of plans. "It was so funny,"
Coleman-Brinich said. "He said
the pinatas they were making in
Mexico looked more like salami.

A corner of JClwcll Hall was turned into a hit of Holland , complete with tuli ps that the children will nurture as they bloom.

REM mixes best of old and new

by David M. Marra
Staff writer
REM's newly released recording,
oddly named Eponymous, could be
considered a greatest hits compilation.
It contains a few of their newer
songs mixed nicely with some of
their best older classics Three of the
songs on this 12-song album arc redone in different , ncvcr-rccordcd
versions.
In addition , Eponymous includes
one song which could onl y previously be obtained on the illegal bootleg market. Side one opens with a
quicker, more upbeat rendition of
Radio Free Europe (the song which
started REM out on the road to fame
in 1981).
Next , the liste ner is treated to
Gardening at Night , recorded with a
uniquel y different vocal mix. Side
one continues with the orig inal , un-

changed classics ,Talk About the
Passion , South Central Rain , (Don ' t
Go Back to) Rock ville , and Can ' t Get
Therefrom Here.
Turning over to side two, it starts
out with an old favorite called Driver
S which is done in its usual form. This
is followed by an older-sounding
REM song which is titled Romance.
It was written during the earl y days
their musical career and it was never
before made available to the public.
Eponymous continues with the unchanged versions of Fall On Me and
the popular hit song This One Goes
Out lo the One I Love. Next, a musically-enhanced example of Finest
Worksong is featured.
In this song, a unique mix of drum
and horn playing is added which
combine to make this REM hit sound
fairly beautiful. This album closes
with the very popular Its the End of

And they did. So they were painted
brown and became salami in the
restur ant. "
Differen t groups took responsibility for each section , but every
child worked on each section. On
Friday, the day of the judging, they
arrived in costume.
But winning the decorating contest was onl y one of the rewards of
their project. "When we saw that
the theme was "It' s a Small
World ," we thought it would be a
great opportunity for learning, "
the director said.
The project has been the focus of

COACH 'S CORNER

BU's "Coach of the Year"
earns Hall of Fame statu s
by Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
In college he stumbled into a game
of love to which he was perfectly
matched—tennis. The sport eventually led this coach to Bloomsburg,
where he would earn "Coach of the
Year" six limes, earn it once nationally in 1987 and most recently, be
inducted into East Stroudsburg University's (ESU) Hall of Fame.
Three weeks ago Burt Reese, BU
men 's tennis coach, was inducted
into the ESU Hall of Fame and annals
of its sports history—something
which came as a surprise io this ESU
1963 graduate. "! had no idea this was
going on," he said and laughed.
"When I found out , I said you 've got
to be kidding me." But to others , his
success is no surprise. Il s another
credil to his successful career, which
began to formulate in his childhood.
The dream was fostered by his father, whom he lost at the age of six. "I
wanted to follow in his footsteps," he
said. "To me, he became bigger than
life. I always wanted lo be acoach and
he was the reason."
Reese's father also attended ESU
and became a physical education
teacher and a coach. As a role model ,
it's easy to sec why the younger
Reese became so inspired. "My father was successful at what he did , he
looked like he was having fun doing
it, and I saw thai other people looked
up to him very much."
Now, 25 years after graduation ,
people look up lo this 21-ycar BU
tennis coach. A look at his career

achievements spells it out. In high
school he played footbal l and basketball. In his sophomore year in college
he was introduced to a new love—
tennis. Afraid he might not make the
basketball team , he decided to try out
for tennis—a sport he had never
played before. He proceeded to compile an utterly impressive record . His
team won the conference in his first
yearplaying, and in his senior year he
became co-captain and learned up
with his doubles partner on the way
to an undefeated season. Reese also
never lost in the Pennsylvania Conference in his three years of participation. By the way, he made the basketball team and even wen t on to become a co-captain in his senior year.
And he didn 't stop there. After
graduation he held various high
school basketball , football and tennis
coaching positions before coming to
BU.At BU, his team won the conference championship seven limes.
Likewise, Reese has been selected as
"Coach of the Year " six times, and as
"Coach of the Year" nationally in
1987. An amazing record—considering thai when he got here
Bloomsburg did not have any tennis
courts! He had to lake his learn downtown to practice on courts at a small
club until facilities were constructed
atBU in 1972.
The secrets lo his success? He likes
his athletes lo be well rounded. Early
on he suggests that kids "should practice and try a lot of different sports
and sec which ones tliey like."Reese
recruits this type of athlete and makes

them better. 'The players get belter
because they are self-motivated," he
states. "If I can find that kind of
player, that is not only a good tennis
player but a good athlete able to
compete in other sports, they turn out
to be outstanding."
He's quick to add that winning is
important, but not the only principle
of importance.
"Being a good person both during
and after athletic events, and all the
little things breed success." Not only
does Reese want his players to be the
best they can be in anything they
might do, but he takes a personal
interest in them.
"If they know you 're really interested in them as a person, academically, athletically, and socially, that
helps."He adds.'Tf they play the best
they can and still don't win, that's
okay."
Taking a personal interest in your
players isn 't always easy. Seven
years ago Reese had to stop playing
competitively. "It's more difficultto
coach when you can'tplay with ihem.
It's easier toget their attention when
they're looking across the net at you
instead of the sidelines."
Even though he's not playing
competitively, he still does it for fun .
"That's what coaching does—it keeps
you young." Perhaps someday his
young daughter and son, both budding athletes, will grow up to continue this successful legacy. Meanwhile, the dedication, respect and
excellent coaching that have become
a Reese tradition live on.

BU soccer drops
early lead in a 7-2
defeat on Saturday
by Jamie Calkin
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg men's soccer team
was defeated 7-2 by firs t-lime opponen t Monmouth University on Saturday afternoon. Monmouth was another tough Division I team on
Bloomsburg's schedule.
Although Monmouth scored early
in the first half , by halftime BU was in
the lead, 2-1. In fact , the opposing
coach said he was very worried about
losing the game because the momentum and the score were in
Bloomsburg 's favor. The first of the
two BU goals was scored by
midfielder Jerry Crick.
Don Phomsouvanh knocked in the
next goal of the game.

The momentum changed,however,
six minutes into the second half. A
penalty kick was granted to Monmouth and they took advantage of it,
tying up the game.
Within three minutes of the first,
another penalty kick was called
against Bloomsburg. Monmouth
scored again and BU simply lost the
momentum it had built in the first
half.
"Our guys just folded after that
second penalty shot," Coach Steve
Goodwin commented.
"We jut didn't do what we were
doing before and what we had to do to
win."
The team takes on Kings College
today on home turf at 3:30 p.m.

The never ending story between actress Robin Givcns and heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has
conic lo its final chapter wilh Robin
Givens filing for divorce, and asking for half of his money.
The marriage of Givens and Tyson began on Feb. 7 and up until she

making the newspapers constantly.
The latest being that Mike Tyson
filed a pctiton in New Jersey for
divorce or annulment , claiming that
he married Givens after she told him
she was pregnant.
Now I' m not trying to injec t my
opinion here , but I just want to pose
a few questions , present some facts,
and let you make the call .
Tyson a year ago spoke to a London tabloid saying that she had
wanted to marry him for along time
but there was no way he was going
lo do it , saying lhal they fi ght constantly. What made him change his
mind and go through with it jusi
three months later?
When Tyson crashed his car Sept.
4, at the hospital , Givens and her
mother refuse lo lei any of Tyson 's
friends as well as his manager and
his trainers into Tyson 's room .
Then the duo of Givens and Mom
told the New York Dail y News that
Tyson was suicidal and homocidal
and had a chemical imbalance that
¦
made him violent. ' "¦ :
Tyson was diagnosed as a manicdepressive by New York Psychciatrist Dr. Henry McCurli s and was
given mcdccinc for treatment. But
Dr. McCurlis would not acknowledged that Tyson was a patient of
his.
Another interesting thing is this
trio of Givens , her mother , Ruth
Roper and her sister who were labeled "die package" in Sports Illustrated. The trio was resposible for
just aboul every accusation made
against Tyson. Why did Given s, her
mother and sister come as a "package" when ihcy were married?
Funny, I never thought that Tyson
was marry ing three people. Now I
understand wh y most husbands
cringe when their Mother-in-law 's
come around.
When Givcn 's went to Russia lo
shoot her series Head of ihe Class,
she went into great detail of how her
husband chased her and her mother
around the Hotel because he was
losing control of his emotions. Get
this, she says he chased ihcm until . 5
a.m. and stopped onl y because tlicy
had to catch ;a plane." Don 't you
think that the last thing on a person 's
mind who lost control of his emotions would be that the he had to
catch a plane?
> ::; She said in her first interview on
20/20 that he shakes and pushes, he
swings while in her divorce petition
she says th roughout their marriage
he has been violent. Then in interview , she said that she and her
mom(shcalways talks in pairs) love
him dearl y but he is such a beast
they are afraid when he is around.
Then in her second interview after
she filed for divorce she cried to
Walters on 20/20 and said nobody
loves Michael as much as I do.
Would you insult the person you
love on national television? And
why does she contradicl herself
¦whe'ri.she ' talks' aboul him?
They were marriced illcgaly in
Illinois , ihcn officially in New
York , and she filed for divorce in
California. Wh y in California? Was
it because the law in Cal. provides a
50/50 split of communal properly?
This love and hale marriage had
many problems in it for bolh people.
The bottom line is did she love hini
or did she marry him for the money?
You make the call.

The Huskies of Bloomsburg University put on a total defensive show
as the veteran unit recorded their second shutout in two weeks, beating the
Mansfield Mounties , 9-0.
Saturday 's game marked homecoming for Bloomsburg as 2,800 fans
braved the cold winds and rain to
witness the win that improved the
Huskies mark to 7-1.
Bloomsburg rode the kicking foot
of freshman Mark Weiss lo the win as
he booted three field goals lo account
for the scoring.
The first successful kick by Weiss
came at the 5:48 mark in the first
quarter , a short 21 yard chip shot for
the 3-0 lead.
A fumble recovery by Joshua Lee
set up the score as he pounced on ihe
ball at the BU 48. Three big plays
helped the Huskies move to die Mansfield one yard line until ihe drive
stalled.
On second and 15, quarterback Paul
Vencsky sprinted 25 yards on a sneak.
Runningback Mike Medina had a bi g
11 yard run on th ird down , and Vencsky completed a 17 yard pass on
third and long to Stcph Kern for a first
and goa l situation. However, three
plays were stopped dead by the Mansfield defense and the Huskies had to

settle for three points.
Bloomsburg picked up it 's second
field goal early in the third quarter ,
again via a Mansfiled turnover. This
lime ihe fumble recovery came by
Chri s Gross at the MU 48.
Vcncsky 's passing carried the Huskies once again as he completed three
of four passes on the drive. One was a
big 17 yard pass play to Jeff Sparks on
second and long. The other big one
was a shovel pass to Medina who ran
for len yards to put BU in the kicking
range of Weiss.
The talented freshman kicker was
good from 29 yard s out to make the
score 6-0 at the 9:41 mark.
Medina was the workhorse on
Bloomsburg 's final scoring drive, one
that resulted in Weiss' field goal of 31
yards at the 14:28 mark in the fourth
quarter , rounding out the scoring at 90.
The senior running back , who is
replacing the injured Leonard Bluitt,
accounted for 29 of die 35 yard scoring drive , including a big 16 yard run
on a draw play. He also caught a nine
yard pass from Vencsky.
Despite the lack of scoring by
Bloomsburg, there were a lot of highlights for the struggling offensive

Los Angeles: city of champs?

An interesting possibility has
dawned upon me since the Los Angeles Dodgers have won baseball' s
World Champoinship. Can Los Angeles become the new city of Champions?

Fred Claire went out and signed
Kirk Gibson , Mike Davis and Rick
Dcmpscy last season. Who knows
what Claire will do this season lo
secure L. A. 's place at ihe top of ihe
baseball world.
The Los Angeles Lakers are the
defending NBA champions and arc
looking to defend their title this season. The likes of Magic Johnson ,
Byron Scotl, James Worlhy, A.C.
Green , and Karccm Abdul-Jabbar
make the Lakers look like the odds on
favorite to win ihe title again.
The Lakers drafted David Rivers in
ihe first round of this years' draft.
Rivers is an oustanding ballhandlcr
from Notre Dame. Rivers allows ihe
Lakers to use Michael Cooper more as
a shooting guard ralhcr than a point
guard .
The Los Angeles Rams are having a
great year under the leadership of John

Robinson. Quarterback Jim Everett
has matured and Greg Bell leads a
good running attack.
The NFL's leading rusher last season , Charles White , was suspended
for 30 days following his failure of a
drug test. His return will help the
Rams.
The Los Angeles Kings are the onl y
question mark conserning greatness.
The Kings acquired Wayn e Gretzky in
the celebrated trade with Edmonton
over the summer. The Kings have
gotten off to a fast start due to the play
of die "Great One". But others have
sparked Ihe Kings as well as Gretzky.
Luc Robitaille who is considered the
league's best left wing and Dave
Taylor are paired with Gretzky and
blend wilh their tremendous talent.
Marty McSorcly and Mike
Krushclnysk i who have also brought
their experience over from Edmonton
arc off to a quick start. John Tonelli
was signed as a free agent to bring his
leadership.
How far the Los Angeles teams go
depends upon luck , the players, and
the rest of their respective leagues.
With a little luck, Los Angeles could
be called the "City of Champs".

Overall , the defense has not allowed
