Students lost in academic shuffle question admistrative actions

by Dawn M. D'Aries
News Editor
Despite a pledgeby the Dean of Arts
and Sciences for improved policies,
mass communications majors are still
struggling to get mandatory classes in
order to graduate. It is a struggle which
now involves the School of Business.
Questions remain unanswered, solutions seem out of reach, and students
are outraged.
The controversy centers around a
class that is officially a closed section.
The class, which is offered in the
marketing department in the School of
B usiness, is Consumer Mod vation and
Behavior.
Mass Communications majors wi„th
a concentration in advertising must
take the course in order to graduate. In
theSpring 1988 scheduling paper there
are two sections listed.When scheduling began Monday morning only one
section was open.
One senior advertising major went
to the registrar's office to find out
why.
People at the registrar's sent her to
speak with Professor Charles
Chapman , chairperson of the marketing department. According to the stu-

dent, Chapman said there was a cap on
the class, which is a limit to the number of students enrolled, and no more
pink slips could be given out.
Chapman directed the advertising
major to ask Dr. Tamrat Mereba, chair
of mass communications, to provide a
substitute course.
The student went to Mereba's office
and explained the situation. Mereba
said he wasn't informed the class was
being capped.
The mass communications student
was then sent to speak with John Baird,
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.Baird encouraged the senior
to draw up a petition and have it for
him at 9 a.m. today.
"There's no way I can get all the
Mass Communications majors to sign
this petition by tomorrow morning,"
the student argued.'Tve got classes I
have to go to."
Baird then suggested the student get
in touch with the president and vice
president of the university. Discouraged, the student went home.
"I'm getting the ran around ," complained the senioradvertisingmajor."!
want to graduate in May with the rest
of my class. Why doesn't anyone have

any answers?"
There is an apparent lack of communication among faculty, staff, and
students.
"I was shocked," said Mereba yesterday afternoon.'This morning was
the first I'd heard of it. It was like a
bang on the head. If they had contactedmemaybe something could have
been done before this."
Mereba said that it is not fair to
students to be given a substitution
course.
He added that students in one major
should not have priority over students
in another major.If students expect to
take a specific course to meet graduation requirements then they should
be able to take that course.
"I am hoping things will be decided
in our favor. We appreciate the School
of Business doing everything they
can," said Mereba. "Wc are really
cornered. We have some-serious problems in the mass communications
department."
Mereba said he was told by Baird
that the university would do anything
to open another section of Consumer
Motivation and Behavior , including
spending additonal money.

Baird insists he can do nothing to
add a business course. He did promise
to bring the problem up at a Dean's
Council meeting this morning.
Baird said students can petition
Chapman to add another section of
Consumer Motivation and Behavior.
"The students need to let me know
about the general situation ," said
Baird ."We can provide individualized
instruction to seniors who need this
course to graduate."
Chapman explained that the Marketing Department is experiencing the
same turmoil as the Mass Communications Department.
According to Chapman there arc
currently 300 marketing majors and
only 3 full-time instructors.
Last year's Dean of the College of
Business, John Dittrich, got administration approval to hire three more
professors. Over the summer, because
of budget cuts, one of those positions
was cut.
Chapman said out of 35 students
currently enrolled in the course, 22
percent arc mass communications
majors .
"I am not singling out mass communications majors," said Chapman."!

have a list of eight senior marketing
majors who were not able to schedule
the course and need it to graduate.
Right now there are three management majors enrolled in the class and
they will be removed."
Last year • 112 people who took
marketing classes for electives had to
be taken out of them in order to make
room for marketing majors. Similar
problems between the Marketing
Department and Mass Communications Department may not be coincidental.
The Mass Communications Department has also been plagued with insufficient student-faculty ratios, oversized classes, and insufficient explanations for num erous problems.
Baird explained there are a number
of reasons for the serious problems
within the Mass Communications
Department.
The number of students interested
in the major is too big for the number
of faculty in the department.
"The demand is greater than the
resources, including faculty, room ,and
space, can meet.We now have a cap in
the major of 150 people," said
Baird."One problem is we have not
told students early enough about

whether or not they are admitted to the
major."
One result of this is afoot-high stack
of folders in the Academic Advisement office indicating the number
students rejected from the mass communications department. Another result is a large number of outraged
junior and senior mass communication majors struggling to schedule
mandatory classes.
At the mass communication meeting held Sept. 7 Baird guaranteed that
students currendy enrolled in the major
will be able to complete requirements
in order to receive their degrees ' on
time.
One mass communications major
expressed doubts as to the validity of
that guarantee.
"We should have gotten that statement in writing," he said.
Another student added,"Pretty soon
there aren 't going to be any majors
left. Maybe then our concerns and
questions will be answered."
A mass communications major
graduating in December commented"!

Alcohol and drug use to be studied
by Lynne Ernst
Contributing Editor
Members of Bloomsburg University 's Alcohol And Drug Task Force
gathered yesterday to discuss suggestions of a student alcohol and
drug use study and the creation of a
campus rehabilitation center formulated by the Task Force's four subcommittees.
Dr. Mchdi Haririyan, chairperson
to the assessment subcommitee
began the meeting by informing
members that the assessment subcommittee had created a questionnaire containing 35 questions dealing with alcohol and drug use on
campus.
The questionnaire, to be distributed to approximately 1,200 students,
will be handed out by faculty members on die sub-committeeand other
interested faculty.
Haririyan remarked that the questionnaire will allow data to be collected in order to arrive at better answers concerning alcohol and drug
use and abuse among students.
The education subcommittee,
chaired by John Couch, has suggested a rehabilitation center be
available on Bloomsburg 's campus.
Couch commented that the campus agency should be a central

agency, much like those apparent in
many industries.
Couch asked, "How are we much
different from industries when that is
what we're preparing students for?"
Because Bloomsburg University
does not have the staff necessary to
deal with a campus rehabilitation
agency at this time, students are currently assessed by the counceling
center and referred to outside rehabilitation agencies if necessary.
Geisinger Hospital has offered help
in creating a campus rehabilitation
agency but stressed that the Hospital
does not want people to think the
problem will go away after they leave,
as addictive behavior requires ongoing rehabilitation.
Also noted during education subcommittee meetings was the fact that
few classes dealing with alcohol and
drug addiction are offered at
Bloomsburg University.
A possible university seminar given
to all incoming students dealing with
the subject of addiction was suggested
during education subcommittee meetings.
The enforcement subcommittee
chaired by Linda Fedor noted that
several subgroups need to be addressed concerning the enforcement

of alcohol and drug policies on campus.
These subgroups include students
(bothon and off-campus) , faculty , staff
and adminstration members, and citizens, or those individuals who come
to campus who are most likely not
aware of Bloomsburg University 's
current policy.
Fedora commented that about 75
per cent of alcohol related incidents
on campus are caused by non-students
coming to campus.
"This is a very big problem in the
residence halls,"commented Fedora.
BU students being visited by individuals not enrolled at Bloomsburg
are currently responsible for the actions of their friends. This issue will be
discussed during future enforcement
sub-committee meetings.
The meeting concluded with Sandy
Walker, chairperson to the policy
subcommittee, distributing rough
drafts of the campus alcohol policy.
Currendy the policy subcommittee
is 18 members strong, with eight student members actively participating
in weekly meetings.
One sanction under consideration
in the policy is that students who use,
sell, exchange or possess alcohol will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the

Senior 1987-1988 Voice News Editor TJ Kemmerer has won one of three
national senior editorial leadership
awards in the Los Angeles Times and
Associated Collegiate Press annual
writing competition.
The Voice published her story - on
printing of fake sections of drivers'
license cards - last February.
The awards are conducted by the Los
Angeles Times and the Associated
Collegiate Press each year for stories
printed during the previous academic
year.
The contest awards major prizes to the
three finalists in the senior four-year
college category and three in the twoyear college category. Only two entries are permitted from each college.
Winners will receive their award
plaques during the final luncheon
ceremony of the ACP/College Media
Advisors conference at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel in Atianta this Saturday.
Winners will also receive recognition
in Scholastic Editor's Trends in Publications.
The LA.Times and Associated Col
legiate Press awards "recognize inti

tiative in original reporting of a situation or problem affecting students,
and editorial leadership, quality writing, sensitivity and fairness in reporting of a situation, problem or popular
issue."
Kemmerer's award was for a pageone story on the apprehension by
Bloomsburg Law Enforcement officials of two students who were allegedly duplicating parts of state drivers'
licences on laser printers in the Ben
Franklin student computer laboratory.
The writing award is the second national honor The Voice has received
this year. In April the paper received
a first place award for overall excellence in the national American Scholastic Press Association annual newspaper awards. This award placed The
Voice as one of the top 40 college
papers in the country in the competition.
Kemmerer, who lives in Oley, Pa.,

major in Mass Communications last

Bloomsburg fraternity house in November and arrested 146 students for
underage drinking. This incident led
to a student march at 2 a.m. through
the middle of Bloomsburg to the college president's house after the police action and follow up allegations
of policeover-reaction, lack of training in crowd control, unnecessary
use of nightsticks and mace.
"On the Sunday afternoon Feb. 7,
working closely with Editor-in-Chief
Karen Reiss, Managing Editor Tom
Sink and our faculty advisor we detailed the ID copying story from the
facts we felt we could substantiate.
"We again checked with the two
eyewitnesses to see if they would allow us to identify them more obviously and to double check the facts
as they remembered them. Our first
working draft made it too easy for
readers to assume guilt of forgery
when we had little proof , although
we did have a copy of what the two
students printed from the laser.
"We spent several hours reworking
the story simply to tell the specific
sequence of events as we knew them
and to let readers make up their own

minds about the incident. Five hours
later I wrote a quiet low-key head for
the story and we locked it into page
one on the Macintosh desktop layout
system.
"It was a good illustration of the
amount of time and effort required to
gather, write, confirm and edit a 17graf story."

To the Editor
This is wri tten in response to the
letter to the editor written by Mark
Monpcr that appeared in Monday's
issue.
You confused boy. I just finished
reading your article. Next to the Far
Sides, it was the funniest thing in the
paper . Seriously though , your article
was an incredible display of ignorance.
When you write a letter, it should be
based on fac t and sound reasoning
rather than wild and senseless
accusations. In other words, don 't
whine.
First of all , about Theta Chi being a
creation of Lori Barsness. We've been
together since spring semester of 1986,
long before Lori had anything to do
with Bloomsburg University.
The administration is not trying to
rid the campus of fraternities and
sororities. A closer, more rational
look will show that they are tfying to
work with us. If they really wanted to
gct rid of us, they could probably do so
witli a single stroke of a pen.
Next , I would like to know how you
concluded that all greeks were happy

remember your poll. Did you send out

looking absurd.

First of all , there is a difference
between maintainingpositiverelations
with administration and kissing bull.
Our fraternity kisses up to no one.
The relationship we have with
administration is a result of openmindedness
and
positive
communications; bom of which were
accomplished without even having to
pucker up.
Now, about this not having to
struggle. Since day one, we've done
nothing but struggle. We've spent an
entire year on probation during which
we worked our tails off in every way.
Being on probation yourself, I'd think
you 'd understand more than most how
very frustrating it is. Try it for a whole
year.
Do you think it was easy staying
together after being voted down by
IFC? Do you think it was easy to walk
into a packed Union and have to go
pick up a table and chairs from one
side and carry it to the other just to
have a place to sit?
Well , I could go on forever proving
you wrong, but your arguement isn 't
worth the effort. Besides, it 's too easy.

Insi ght gained while trading p laces

News Editor
Barry went to the coffeehouse Tuesday afternoon to
schedule classes. He waited patiently in line with his
signed schedule form , anxiously glancing towards the
computer terminals every few minutes. When he reached
the front of the line he handed the woman his form and
waited for the customary stamp of approval. However, like
a typical studen t, Harry was confronted with a scheduling
problem.
"I' m sorry President Ausprich ," said the university
employcc."But you are scheduling on the wrong day. Tomorrow is your day to schedule."
Wearing his daughter 's neon yellow BU sweatshirt, a
pair of trendy acid-wash jeans , and donning Recboks on
his feet, President Harry Ausprich was an amusing sight to
students Tuesday afternoon.
Despite being turned away at scheduling he was positive
about his experience.
"The employee was very poliie. She assured me that the
schedule would be processed and sent to me," Ausprich
said.
"I would 1ike to go throug h the whole scheduling process
from beginning to end ," he added."! want to start at the
beginning with the advisor , which is one of the most
important parts of the process, and go Uirough the whole
procedure."
Scheduling was just part of Trading Places Day at
Bloomsburg University, sponsored by the Husky Ambassadors.
Foraboutfourhours PrcsidentHarry Ausprich switched
places with* Monya Lee, a junior Spanish major from
Towanda.
After an exchange of books and brief case at Carver
Hall, Lee assumed Ihc role o[ university president and
joined faculty members for lunch.
"The discussions at lunch really made me aware of some
of the problems at the university," Lee said."I didn 't have
to make any major decisions, but I think being a president

requires great responsibility and you have to be very
informed ."
Lee purchased one Trading Places Day ticket Friday
afternoon in the Kehr Union. She went home that evening,
missing the homecoming football game and the Trading
Places drawing at halftime. "I didn 't know until I was on
my way back to school and a friend told me the news," said
Lee.*I was very excited."
As president for the afternoon Lee-reviewed mail , answered telephones, met with faculty and staff ,and attended
a press conference. As studen t for the afternoon Ausprich
attended class, enjoyed a hotdog and onion rings in the

"Walking to class brought back mem ories of 20 years
ago. I genuinely felt a role reversal," said Ausprich .'The
assignments I had , places I was going, and people to whom
I was talking contributed to that. It was very interesting."
Evidentl y taking his role seriously, Ausprich raised his
hand and aswered questions in World Cultural Geography
with Professor Scrff. Ausprich said the class was very well
prepared and as a general education course had valuable
general information.
"The whole experience of being a student certainl y did
open my eyes lo some new insights ," said Ausprich. Lee
agreed that her experience did the same.
"Being president of the university for the day made me
more aware of things that I can make friends more aware
of ," she explained."! learned of some activities that I'm
sure most students are unaware of and should get involved
in."
Lee, who is involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes
and the Anthropology Club, added that she learned how to
delegate authority and rely on others for resources.Lee and
Ausprich gained valuable insight and enjoyed Trading
Places Day. Both expressed hope that another one would
be held in the future .
Ticket sales for the day raised S246 for the CGA scholarship fund.

Students display apathy
by Jen McGinley
Staffwriter
Election Day .Nov. 8, is rapidly approaching. A little over two weeks
ago members of both the Republican
and Democrat parties were registering
people on campus. There are approximately 600 on-campus students. One
for every five students is now registered to vote in the upcoming presidential election.
A state of apparent political apathy
has appeared. "I don 't care who wins.
My vote won 't make any difference,"
said a junior Secondary Education
major.
Or is it ignorance? One sophomore Business major said,"I don't even
know what the politicians stand for, let
alone who I want to vote for this year."

People aren t wuling and don t
care to find out what both parties are
about. It 's crucial that we become
educated about the politics of all parties," said Faith Warner, President of
BU's Young Democrats.
There are copies of Newsweek,
Time, U.S. News,and many reputable
newspapers available to students at
the library and Kehr Union Informaton Desk. "It is the responsibility of
the student to be informed. How we
vote now is going to have a direct
effect on our lives tomorrow," said
Warner.
"I'm registered in another state and
I made sure to get an Absentee Ballot.
You can't say that all students are apathetic," said a senior English major.
Tonight at 7 p.m. in the Sociology

... haunted??

by Lori Ransicr
Staff Writer
Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls await brave souls in the second annual
Haunted Haas, a fundraiser for the BIoomsburgTlayers, Saturday,
Oct. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 30.
Several "celebrities" from the world of horror will be featured , such
as Freddy Kruger, as well as a few of The Lost Boys and Jason of
Friday the 13th fame.
Thanks to special latex molds of people 's faces, the masks worn by
the special guests will be "frighteningly lifelike ," according to Michele Defuso, Haunted Haas chairperson.
The auditorium will resemble a tunnel that Defuso says looks like
something from Stephen King 's thriller , Children of the Corn.
Defuso is very excited about the fundraiser this year. The Players
have been preparing for the project for a month , and they have tried
to publicize the Haunted Kaas as much as possible.
Defuso says, "The secret of the Haunted Haas is the art of surprise. "
Entry into the domain of darkness will cost only $1, and about 30
students will be waiting to hel p you celebrate Halloween this year,
from 8 p.m. until midnight both Saturday and Sunday nights.

If you can stomach this gruesome

Student-run 'Evening of One-Acts one to be remembered

by Mark Schiffer
For The Voice
Bridget Sulli van
Features Editor .
This past Homecoming weekend ,
the Bloomsburg Players put on an
entertaining Evening of One-Acts at
the McCormick Forum.
Thre e plays were featured , each
being student productions. Considering the fact that they only had two and
one-half weeks to prepare (due to
space limitations , etc .), ihc Players ,
especiall y die direc tors, did an exceptional job and presented an evening to
be remembered.
The Proposa l, conceived by Russian playwri ght Anion Chekhov (and
translated into Eng lish , creating some
interesting sentence structures by our
standards) and directed by James
Slusscr , gol die crowd off lo a rousing
start.
Dclbcrl Arthur Roll gave a superb
portrayal Ivan Vassilcvitch Lomov,
an eager young man nervously attempting to propose to Natalya
Stcpanovna Chubukov.
After asking Nalal ya 's falhcr ,
Stcpan Stepanovitch Chubukov , exceptionally performed by David Patrick O'Brien , for permission for his

daughter s nand , Ivan proceeds to try
and "pop the question. "
Completel y unaware of his intentions , Natal ya wonders why Ivan has
come to visil "in evening dress."
When their conversations became a
barrgagc of competition (who owns
what piece of land), name-calling and
insults by both panics, the audience
has quite a few laughs.
Outraged , and ph ysically ill , Ivan
storms out of the Chubukov 's home.
Equall y insulted thai litis man was to
become his son-in-law , Stcpan comments lo about the real reason for his
visit. Natalya , shocked to realize she
has turned away her future husband ,
wails, "Fetch him! Bring him back!"
Ivan returns , and marital bliss gets a
chance as Natalya tries to make him
forget the argument they had moments
before by "admitting "Oxen Meadows
reall y arc his.
Changing the subject results in an
argument about whose dog is better.
This literall y kills Ivan , and Natalya
franticall y tries to get "water, a doctor
— he's dead ." (Water seems to be a
believed cure-all in Chekhov 's lighthearted comedy.)
Miraculousl y revived (by water),
Ivan deliriously wakes to a kiss from

Natalya , the champagne cork is
popped by the proud father as wedding bells arc heard in the distance.
The "happy ending" is the future
husband and wife still arguing about
who has the better dog, while the everoptimistic father of the bride says,
"Champagne , champagne!"
The audience response to The Proposal was very encourag ing, and only
a small sign of what was to come.
The Movie Man , by Eugene O'Neill
and directed by Tony Dietterick, look
the audience to another end of the
world: Mexico, and a revolution.
Dclbcrl Arthur Roll, in his second
appearance of the evening, once again
did an outstanding job as the money
hungry American film producer
Henry Rogers, trying to make a movie
with footage from the war.
Rogers has paid off Mexican general Pancho Gomez, hysterically portrayed by Imtiaz Ali Taj — the accent
was even natural for him!
The audience thoroughly enjoyed
AliTaj 'svivu ' facial expressions,and
womanizing comments toward Anita
Fernandez, very well portrayed by
Louise Ruane.
Although her accent was not natural , it was very convincing, as she
pleaded with "Generalissimo Gomez"
to save her father 's life; Gomez was to
execute him the next morning.
With the help of bribery and blackmail , Rogers is able to have Gomez
call off the execution — Gomez's
contract with the American clearly
states, "In black and white, in English
and in Spanish ," that the "Movie
Man" is entitled to filming of all
batdes and "no fighting shall take
place when the shooting of motion

pictures is impraclical.
The night attack Gomez had
planned was "nixed" by the American
with the threat of taking away all the
money, ammunition and promise to
help him become President after the
revolution. Gomez's wide eyes and
open mouth had the audience roaring.
As Anita tries to thank Rogers for
his help, he, too, begins to enjoy
Mexico a little more as a hint of being
more than "just a brother" to Anita's
family is clearly.given.
Performances by Andrew Bayley,
playing Rogers' American buddy who
actuall y likes Mexico; David
O'Brien, as the drunken Virella,
Gomez's cohort, and W.R . Greenly,
who played a sentry (and also designed the multi-purpose set), deserve
special mention as they definitely
added to the flavor of this play.
The last show, Peter Shaffer's The
Public Eye , had a flavor all its own.
Directed by Mimi Mikalac and starring John Roberts as an off-the-wall
private detective; Andre Dion Wills as
an accountant who hired Roberts'
character to spy on his wife because he
thinks she's having an affair , and Jenn
Henton the mistrusted, young wife,
The Public Eye made sure the audience left the Forum smiling.
Julian Cristoforou , exceptionally
portrayed by John Roberts, is the
oddball private eye who is addicted to
sweets (yogurt, bananas, and macaroons, especially) and falls in love
with Sidley 's wife while following her
for a month.
They exchanged no words, and yet
wind up having the most intimate of
relationships without ever speaking to
each other.

Wills ' character is a stuffy-but-likable man who genuinely loves his
wife, but is afraid of losing her. So he
hires a private detective.
Now Cristoforou has the task of
giving his client the report he is paid
for.
Charles is convinced that his wife
has a lover, and Cristoforou tells him
in the opening scene, honestly, that
there is someone else, but he is ...
"handsome, debonair ... a diplomat."
Laughtetechoed through the small
Forum when Belinda, very believably
portrayed by Jenn Henton, makes a
surprise visit to her husband's office
and proceeds to try and be honest with
her husband, too.
Cristoforou has, meanwhile, snuck
out the fire escape and back to the
office ~ he was not going to miss any
of this conversation.
When Belinda tells Charles the
other man is a "goofy-looking man
with spectacles, eating macaroons out
of a paper bag," the look on Charles'
face is enough to break the ruler in his
hands into nieces.
Cristoforou, overhearing their entire conversation, realizes that Belinda still loves her husband.
He barges in on them, and finally introduces himself to the "witch who
can throw acorns at a duck and strike
the heart of a man with grief at 50
paces."
The unique private detective has
learned some things about himself
from this whole escapade and proceeds to try and be the "first detective
to cement a marriage."
He tells Belinda not speak to Charles for one month.
"Just think how many more marriages would be saved if people would
just shut up and look and listen for a
change," Cristoforou notes.
The play ends with Cristoforou
taking over Sidley's job, and Charles
replacing Cristoforou following Be-

silently.
Scenic designer W.R. Greenly developed a set that accommodated
three very different plays — one in
Victorian Russia, one in Mexico, and
the other in a modem-day accountant 's office.
The set consisted of a simple floor
with vertical poles scattered throughout. As an abstract scenic concept, the
poles were interesting, and were very
efficient for placing doors on The
Movie Man set and a drape and a
picture in The Proposal. The poles
also were somewhat of an obstruction
to the audience, but no one seemed to
mind much.
Unfortunately, the set for The Public Eye seemed to be lacking the most,
with a University desk for Sidley the
accountant, and chairs from the Forum in the waiting room. But it served
its purpose, and again realizing that
there were only two and one-halfweeks to prepare for three shows, the
job was well done.
As an aid to the audience, seats
were placed on platforms, raising
them above the stage, improving their
view a great deal.
The limited space available in the
Forum also limited the scenic and
lighting design, but the designers
compensated sufficiendy.
Costumes for the characters, also
spanning a wide genre of fashion ,
were quite appropriate, thanks to costume designer Sherrie Van Dewark.
Each show's characters were welldefined , righdy colorful, and fitting.
Sound designer David Waterman
chose very appropriate pre-show and
post-show music (and the wedding
bells and telephone ring), to enhance
the moods of each show.
All those involved with this production are to be commended for providing their audience for a truly
memorable and enjoyable Evening.

inflicted on a living family member.
In order to expel the sickness from the
body, the Black Carab must higher a
buyei , who will then, only after being
paid a large sum of money, consult
with the spirits on the behalf of the
inflicted family member.
During her lecture, Bianchi recounted witnessing a young Black
Carab girl enter into "some sort of
hypnotic state" where her eyes rolled
back, and shebegan to move in jerking
motions. The girl then placed her head
inside a drum which was being played
loudl y. Still, she remained in a trance
for the next 24 hours.
When asked how the Catholic
priests from Trajillo viewed the Afri-

can and Amerindian rituals, Bianci
said that while the priests are not
happy about what is going on, they
don'tattempt to drive out the other religious practices with force.
Aside from practicing religious
syncretism, the Black Carabs have
their own language called Garifuna.
Also, many Black Carabs are bilingual or trilingual, speaking English
and/or Spanish.
Many Black Carabs have relatives
in the United States or may have lived
abroad at some time in their lives.
Bianchi said, "Just because many are
living in mud huts, don 't think they
don't know a lot about the outside
world."

Will Mike Schmidt leave the
Phillies for the Yankees?
By Jim Fisher
Staff Writer
Reports have Mike Schmidt leaving the Philadelphia Phillies via free
agency for the New York Yankees.
Schmidt has several reasons for leaving a team he 's played with since
1971. The major reason is that Bill
Giles and the Philadel phia organization haven 't treated Schmidt as the
senior member of (lie ball club with
the desire to finish his career with the
Phillies. Another reason is someone
has expressed interest in Mike
Schmidt 's playing ability . Dallas
Green is the manager of the Yankees
who in his rookie man- ^erial season
with the Phillies led tlu ito theWorld
Championship. Green and the Yankees envision Schmidt as a designated hitter.
I think its wrong for Schmidt to
leave. I've always had two ideals
about aging ballplayers, or for that
matter, sports stars. First, they know
when lo say when. That is, retire
before they look like average players. Go out on a positive note. Second, I enjoyed watching the player
perform for one specific team his
entire career. Why in the twilight of
his career docs he have to play for
some mediocre team?
I realize that in today's game
money, free agency, and incentives
all play a part in the players decision
where to play and for how much.
Above all else, the most important

factor would be happiness.
Maybe I am sort of a Utopian—
dreaming of the select few who are
their sports' greatest finishing where
they start. Someone like Carl Yastrzemski playing, no mastering 23
years with the Boston Red Sox in
search of aWorl d Championship ring.
Or Ernie Banks, "Mr. Cub", the man
who coined the phrase "Let's play
two," while he never achieved the
same goal as Yastrzcmski.
One day that broke my heart was
seeing Bobby Orr in a Chicago Black
Hawks uniform. Familiar number
three wasn 't in the-black , yellow, and
white of the Bruin dynasty . Can you
image Bobby Clarke playing for the
Vancouver Canucks? I never could.
Clarke and Orr knew when to bow out
gracefully.
The funniest thing I ever saw was
seeing Steve Carlton in a Cleveland
Indian uniform , a White Sox uniform , a San Fransisco Giant uniform ,
or how about a Minnesota Twin uniform. Carlton belonged with the Phillies. I couldn 't ever get used to reading the transaction list in the sports
pages stating Carlton released or cut.
Steve was a great left-hander but I
wish he knew when to quit. I guess
Carlton wanted to hear the cheering
again.
His counterpart, Jim Palmer, had a
Hall of Fame career. Palmer looked
as good in his Baltimore Orioles
uniofrm as he did in jockey shorts.

Palmer saw no future in baseball as
he got to a certain point; all was accomplishsed and the body couldn't
take any more.
The three greatest sluggers in baseball history are Willie Mays, Hank
Aaron, and Mickey Mantle.
Mays reared after the 1973 World
Series with the New York Mets. Mays
started his career with the New York
Giants but finished in New York.
Mays went out at the proper time.
Aaron did almost the same. Hank
started in Milwaukee and finished in
Milwaukee, but with the Braves and
the Brewers. He played two years too
long. As a DH , he looked very average to a good fast ball.
Mantle played his entire career with
the New York Yankees and quit when
it was time—when the knees couldn 't
take any more.
Reggie Jackson changed the game
of baseball as I loved it in the early
1970s. Jackson , I feel , didn 't care
where he played as long as he made
plenfy of money .
Whatever happened to team loyalty?
In today 's age, I'm happy I can
look back and see men like Terry
Bradshaw (Steelers),RogerStauback
(Cowboys), BobGibson (Cardinals),
Dr. J (Sixers), andRodGilbert(Rangers) who knew when to quit and
exemplify team tradition.
Tonight I hope that Mike Schmidt
doesn't end up like John Unitas.

Student Huskies seek first place tie in game at Millersville
Athlete of
the Week

Tom Kanger

Photo by Chris i^rwer

John Pctrus are the leaders of the Maraucders ' defensive unit. Cassarella
has 81 tackles and Pctrus has been
credited with 75 additional hits. End
Kyle Landis has also been very active and currently has 49 tackles. The
Marauders have intercepted 18 opponent passes, and free safety Pete
King and cornerback Darren Ryals
have combined for 10 of
those interceptions.
The play of the special teams has
been a bright spot for veteran head
coach Gene Carpenter. Kicker Luke
Hadfield needs just one more extra
point conversion to become the
school record holder and made 21 of
22 attempts this season. Desmond
Washington has eight punt returns
for 102 yards last week and handled
three kickoffs for 121 yards one of
those for a touchdown.

A victory at Millersville this Saturday, Oct. 29, will give the Bloomsburg
University football team a share of the
Pcnnsylavania Conference Eastern
Division title. The contest, which is set
for 7 p.m. in the Marauders' Bicmisdcrfer Stadium , will pit two teams that
have just a pair of losses between them.
Bloomsburg won its third-consecutive game with a 9-0 triumph over visiting Mansfield last Saturday to up its
overall record to 7-1, while Millersville (6-1) was dropping its first
game of the year to Slippery Rock 3429. The Huskies are 4-1 in the Eastern
Division , while the Marauders have an
unblemished 4-0 mark. If coach Pete
Adrian 's club can knock off Millersville, the clubs would finish in a
deadlock for the top spot. In addition , a
West Chester victory over Cheyney
this week would lift thc Ram 'sto 4-1 in
the PC East and they could share firs t
place.
Two outstanding defensive units
will be displayed in the contest, both of
which have proven to be tough to run
the ball against. Bloomsburg is allowing an average of only 99.3 yards per
game, and Millersville is giving up just
slightly more yardage on the ground
with a 114.1 average. The Huskies
ranked fourth in the latest NCAA Division II scoring defense statistics and
didn 't damage that standing with the
shutout over Mansfield. The club is
allowing only 7.4 points per game.
Free safety Dan Shutt was credited
with two of the squad 's four interceptions last week and has combined wiUh
his backup, Trent Dennis, to pick off
nine opponent passes this season. Shult
also has 26 tackles. Tackle Joshua Lee
is the defensive point leader based primarily on his team-leading totals of 61
tackles and 11 sacks. Linebacker Wade
Pickett is second in the tackle departiiK-m with 54 followed by end Stcph
Pettil with 44.
Frcshamn kicker Mark Weiss accounted for all of the Huskies' scoring
