Student organization faces
administrative opposition
by Sheraton Smith
Staff Writer
The Young Democrats, a student
polilical organization , has encountered
opposition from university administrative officials who have temporaril y
stopped the organization from using
the duplicating services located on the
first floor of the Waller Administration building.
The conflict centers on the duplication of democrati c leaflets informing
the voting public on democratic nominees running for office in the November elections.
These nominees range from state
senatorial elections lo the presidential
elections , which will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
The polilical organization has
charged that the university is stalling,
preventing them from properly distributing information on democratic
candidates before the election.
The Young Democratic organization and university officals are in disagrecmentover issues that would make
the student group eligible to use the
university duplicating services.
The major conflict revolves around
whether or not the organization is
university recognized , which would
be one of the determining factors in
the group's request.

Donald Hock, director of Budget
and Administrative services, has not
allowed the organization to use the
duplicating facilities because to his
knowledge the Young Democrats are
not a university-recognized group.
He also stated the duplicating/print
shop policy prevents non-university,
partisan , political groups from using
the duplicating office.
The policy states, "effective July 1,
1988, duplicating and printing activity must be limited to instructional ,
research , administrative and student
activities having an obvious and direct
relationship to the central mission of
the university ".
Thccentral mission of the universty
can be found in the Mission Statement, a document released May 8,
1987, thatstates the university 's goals
for achieving academic and social
growth .
Senior Faith Warner, president of
the democratic organization , disputes
Hock's claim of organizational eligibility . Warner said the organization is
recognized by the CGA and is listed in
the Pilot as a university-recognized
student group.
"It seems to us the administration
here is advocating political apathy and
ignorance on campus," said Warner.
She continued , "The question for

municauon. It's more negative and
less substantive than any I can remembcr,"agreed Ann Lewis, former political director of the Democratic National Committee.
Charles Black, a Republican strategist and senior adviser to the Bush
campaign , spoke from a different perspective. "In terms of the advertising
techniques of presenting negative
messages," he said with some pride,
"this is the first presidential race that's
used all the modem formats and techniques."
There were factors that made the
Bush-Dukakis contest susceptible to a
negative assault. There were no wide
ideological differences on fundamental issues between them to dominate
the agenda; neither candidate was
especially popular; Dukakis in particular was liule-known and vulnerable to being defined by whomever
talked louder.
Indeed, the Bush strategy was set
last spring when his campaign advisers discovered that Dukakis' nascent
support among Democrats who had
voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984 could
be quickly undercut.

our club is that if we don 't get lull
rights and privileges of a club on
campus, Dr. Ausprich should , and
must, expcll us as a club organization ,
both us and the Young Republicans."
Warner also stated organizational
goals coincide with the university
mission and, according to the university duplicating policy created by the
president's cabinet May 20, 1988,
satisfy the requirements of being a
universty-recognized student group.
Dr. Anne Wilson , sociology professor and ad visor to the group for the last
four years, said, "Every election wc
produce a leaflet,and every year we've
had problems getting it run off.
She said that appeals to Robert
Parrish, vice president for administration , and Dr. Harry Ausprich , university president, to clarify the situation
have, for the most part, been ignored.
Wilson also noted that the university mailroom has caused delays in
distribution of material supporting
democratic affiliation.
This situation has lead both parties
to seek legal counsel.
She stated the organization will hold
a press conference at 10a.m., Monday
in front of Carver Hall and that there
are plans for the organization to apply
for an injunction to require that the
leaflet be printed.

Pledge colony inducted as chapter

by Da wn D'Aries
News Editor
New sorority Phi Sigma Sigma was
formally initiated as the Epsilon Zeta
chapter by their national headquarters
this past weekend.
Accepted by the Inter-Sorority
Council in April of this year, the organization existed as a pledge colony
until this past weekend.
According to Gina Vicario, vicepresident of Phi Sigma Sigma, the
sorority had to have an effective rush
program and obtain a pledge class
before they could be established as a
chapter.
Initiation began Friday at 6 p.m. for
the 34 women. National representatives along with sisters from Mill-

ersville, Muhlenburg, and Shippensburg chapters conducted the ini tiation activities.
Vicario noted that they had to know
the background of the sorority, demonstrate portions of their rush program , and prove they could function
on their own without the aid of a field
representative.
Bloomsburg Phi Sigma Sigma
pledges supported the founding sisters
but did not actually participate in the
initiation.
Ceremonies ended with a luncheon
yesterday afternoon at the Best Western in Danville.
Guests at the luncheon included a
numberof fraternity and sorority presidents. John S. Mulka , dean of student

development,and RobertNorton,dean
of student life, also attended the noon
banquet.
Phi Sigma Sigma was started in the
spring of 1987 when two groups of
girls joined together in hopes of starting a national sorority .The women
followed guidelines establishedby ISC
and participated in a number of social
events and service activities.
As a chapter, Vicario expressed their
hopes of becomingmore involved with
the Greek system.
"We couldn 't have done it without
all the support from the other sororities on this campus. They've sent us
letters and cards of encouragement
throughout our pledge period," said
Vicario.

advisers said tne new strategy was
beginning to make some headway in
key states, although other political
analysts said the response had come
too late to change the outcome of the
race.
And Bush' s top strategists, who say
they have been amazed by the effectiveness of their attacks and the initial
reluctance of their opponent to respond , continued their schizophrenic
mix of Bush's harsh attacks on Dukakis
as well as his evocation of a "kinder,
gentler America" resplendent with a
"thousand points of light."
Both candidates have said th at they
intend to present more positive messages this week as they turn to get-outthe-vote efforts, although it was clear
the negative drumbeat would also
continue. "Now it'sgoing to be a kinder
and quieter finish to this campaign ,"
Bush told an exuberant fund raiser at
comedian Bob Hope's house in Los
Angeles Thursday night , but since then
he has kept up his standard attacks
over furloughs, crime and taxes.
Dukakis will emphasize his message to middle-class voters that he is
"on your side" on economic issues,

though someofhis negative television
ads also will be aired. "The American
public wants to vote for somebody,"
said Leslie Dach , Dukakis' communications director. "We've got to give
them a reason to do that." Actually,
the reason many now give for supporting one candidate is to vote against the
other guy - the view of one in three
voters, according to an NBC-Wall
Street Journal poll. Almost two-thirds
of the respondents in that survey and
another by CBS-New York Times said
they wished they had different choices
available. Most voters said the campaign had been negative; many thought
it was more negative than those in the
past. And they said they didn 't like it.
But results from those same surveys
gave what Jamieson called "incentives" for candidates to wage negative
campaigns in the future.
For one thing, both Bush and
Dukakis were blamed equally for the
negative tone - perhaps because by the
time many voters really paid attention
to the campaign, Dukakis was trying
lo respond in kind.
For another, voters in striking
numbers seemed to have accepted the

negative portrayal of Dukakis that
Bush had painted, despite Dukakis'
protests. The NBC poll found that
voters by 56 percent to 27 percent
thought Bush would be tougher on
crime; in August, Dukakis had held a
41 percent to 36 percent edge on the
issue. The CBS poll found four in 10
voters said Dukakis would weaken the
nation 's defenses; nearly as many
predicted he would raise taxes if
elected.
And while Bush's favorable-unfavorable rating remains less than stellar
- 59 to 35 percent in the new Gallup
Poll - Dukakis' rating, which last
summer was quite good, is now even
worse than his opponent's, at 50 to 43
percent.
Negative campaigning isn 't exactly
new, of course. Backers of Thomas
Jefferson and John Adams distributed
strident handbills against the other.
President Martin Van Buren was accused of wearing corsets and taking

Americans react to negative presidential campaign tactics

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Negative campaigning? It 's awful ,
Americans in record numbers are telling pollsters and reporters these days
about the presidential race. Attack and
counterattack? Demeaning, degrading,
disgusting.
But they listen to it. And it works.
Despite voter protests that they arc
dismayed by the tone of this fall's
presidential campaign, the concerted
negative strategy followed by George
Bush - "George die Ri pper," as political scientist Merle Black dubbed him
- has succeeded in defining his opponent for many voters and transforming
the race.
Once trailing by double digits, Bush
now seems poised to claim victory on
Election Day next week over Michael
Dukakis, who failed to follow what in
recent years has become a cardinal
rule of political campai gns: When hit ,
hit back hard and fast.
Tins is the most negative presidential campaign of the electronic age,"
bemoaned Kathleen Jamieson , a University of Texas professor and a specialist in political rhetori c and com-

Watching two fociis groups of such
voters in Paramus, N.J., from behind a
one-way mirror, they saw Dukakis'
support peel away when voters were
told that he had vetoed a bill requiring
public school teachers to lead the
Pledge of Allegiance, that he had
backed a prison furlough policy that
led to a tragic assault, that he had
described himself as "a card-carrying
member of the ACLU."
With a
coordinated national attack on those
issues beginning in August, the Republicans managed to turn upside down
the 17-point lead Dukakis held in a
nationwide survey taken after the
Democratic Nati onal Convention .
Bush pulled ahead after the Republican National Convention, and by most
measures he has been ahead ever since,
now by eight to 13 points.
Last week, Dukakis began trying to
make an issue of Republican tactics,
decrying what he called the "lies and
distortions" of Bush' s negative ads on
defense and prison furlough issues while, in what might seem like a contradiction, redoubling his own efforts
to attack Bush's record and character
in tougher.morenegativeads. Dukakis

and Scott Stuhlmuller
for The Voice
"Mean,meaningless,and miserable"
is how journalist Paul Duke described
the 1988 presidential election.
Duke, best known as moderator of
the
PBS
weekly
news
series,Washington Week in Review,
delivered the second lecture of
Bloomsburg University 's Provost
Lecture Series Thursday at 8 p.m. in
Carver Auditorium.
Duke commented,"The level of
campaigning has been so pathetically
low, so pathetically bad,"this year and
criticized the candidates' failure to
address the issues.
He referred to the campaign as
"fictitious" and continued, "neither
candidate has defined himself well or
provided any real answers to our biggest problems."
Negative campaigning is an old
American tradition,according to Duke.
He believes the Republican campaign
is very negative and criticized Bush's
attacks on Dukakis's patriotism.
But Duke said the Dukakis cam-

paign is also negative, it is just that the
Democrats are not very good at it.
Two of the issues Duke said the
candidates should have addressed were
the federal deficit and housing. Duke
called tins year's race "staged and
managed" by both parties.
Presidential candidates manipulate
the press with staged photo opportunities, short, snappy "sound-bites" for
television, and by avoiding press conferences and debates. He said that if
that's what the candidates do, that's
what the press has to report.
At a time when many people are
attacking the way the press and especially television covered the campaign,
he defended the press, countering that
the style of the campaign is set by the
candidates and not the press.
At the beginning of his speech, Duke
vowed to be comprehensible and was
often quite humorous.
"There's nothing wrong with political jokes," he commented,"as long as
they don 't get elected to office."
Next, he took some time to talk
aboutpoliticians' abuse of the English
language. Examples included politi-

more baths than a real man should.

Grover Cleveland was ridiculed in a
campaign jingle when it was revealed
he had fathered an illegitimate son.
"Ma! Ma! Where's my Pa?" his opponents would taunt; Cleveland's backers would respond , "Gone to the White
House! Hah! Hah! Hah!" (He did end
up winning.)
In campaigns now, though, those
attacks are grounded in polling, tested
before focus groups, and enormously
magnified by the power of television.
In 1980, when the National Conservative Political Action Committee targeted six incumbent Democratic senators with negative ads, the senators
thought they shouldn't respond and
dignify the attacks.

cians using "revenue enhancement"
instead of "tax increase" and the CIA
calling their assassination teams
"health alteration committees."
Duke stated, "The political process
is always characterized by change and
inconsistencies." He proceeded to list
major inconsistencies of the past six
presidents.
Two examples he used were Richard Nixon , one of the most successful

Dear administrators: We want some answers

An Open Letter to Administration
After talking to my advisor and

problems in the communi cations
department. The followin g letter

problems
that

Dr. Baird was quoted in The Voice
as saying that one of the solutions to
the problem was for us to transfer to a
different school or change majors.
This is outrageous!
I cannot believe any administrator
would care so little about the studen t
body to suggest such a thing. First of
al!. I happen to like being a BU student
Therefore . I have no desire to transfer.
Second. 1 do no',want to be a doctor , a

Empty promises cause chaos
in mass communications

Mas s communi cations majors have
a right to be angry. They have been
rmsied by ihc:: department and by the
3U administration. Administrators on
thi s campus have been using the mass
communications department in order
to rec ruit students for the past several
years. I know from experience that
campus to urs for prospectivefreshmen

and television stations whil e often

and departments such as history ,

We have reason to be proud of our
studios. They contain some of the best
equipment at a state university.
However , we are stuck with a
department that is unable to utilize this
equipment effectively. A lot of the
available funds have gone towards
promoting a department that is
hopelessly

and
understaffed .
Tnere is no one specific to blame for
these unfortunate circumstances ,
except perhaps those who insisted that

Perhaps even more to blam e are the

To the Editor
This ism response to Tina Wendt 's editorial in Thursday ' s
Voice. Tina, you had very good points and I have to say , I
agreed with all of them.
However , we must also realize that not everyone in the
greek system holds these same views , nor are these
individuals mature enough to see where they are wrong.
Hopefully, some day they will be able to accept the fact
that they 've been nothing but rude. Only then will they be
respected by everyone in the greek system , including the
new organizations.
Holding regular meetings with presidents and socials is
just an example of how we are trying to work together. The
greek system has experienced many changes recently, but
laws need to be obeyed. .As laws change, we must change.
It is not "kissing butt " or brown nosing; it 's logical and
mature.
Having met with administration just a week ago, I' ve
come to realize that they are trying to work with us. They
also wan t the greek system to be strong and the best it can
be. I get the impression that sororities are trying harder to
work with administration and earch other in order to
accomplish this.

Another look at the campai gn issues

by Bruce L. Rockwood
As the campaign shifts into high
gear for the final stretch , I want to
remind the voters that everyone's vote
counts , and to thank those of you who
have privately expressed your support
for our national democratic ticket
Given the deceptive and outrageous
charges being made against Mike
Dukakis and Lloyd Bensten , I can
understand that the silent majority will
be voting democrat.
I have noted around town, and
particularly near campus, that signs
for both Dukakis and Bush , as well as
for Showers , Helfrick , and
vVoodhouse, have been torn down or
damaged. I hope supporters of all
candidates will re-cognize that this
juvenile behavior is inconsistant with
democratic politics, and that signs for
all sides should berespected until Nov.
8 (after that you 're welcome to your
souveniors!;
In response to specific concerns
raised by numerous , expensive
commercials paid for by the NRA, I
have called the Governor's official
office in Massachusetts, and asked for
copies of the relevant statutes and
regulations. Hunters are perfectlyfree
to be sportsmen in Massachusetts.

The only issue here is whether
Dukakis 's current support for a sevenday waiting period for handguns of the
son. that Hinkley used to shoot
President Reagan , any more than
George Bush' s past support in
Congress for gun control , should the
considered relevant to die campaign .
Since neither Presidential candidate
is advocating taking away the rightsof
sportsmen , and since the national
lobbyists for the NRA know this, I ask
local sportsmen to consider what
ulterior motives are behind this
expensive and misleading campaign .
Beyond that, I will soon have specific,
factual information and will be glad to
furnish copies to anyone who asks.
As to the deba te over the ACLU, the
pledge, and so forth , let me point out
that the people most harmed by this
issue (Jehovah' s Witnesses) do not
vote and do not take part in thepolitical
process, because of their religious
beliefs.
I find this part of the campaign
unbecoming someone of Bush' s
previous stature since it undermines
understanding as well as suport for the
fundamental Constitutional values that
project not only religious liberty but
private propertyas well. I do not want

to live in a theocracy, and while my
feelings about groups like the
American Nazis are more viscerally
represented by John Baluchi' s
approach in the Blues Brothers than
by the more reasoned approach of the
ACLU, I have to admit that I would
rather let one Oliver North go free than
destroy the meaning of the Fifth
Amendment to give only one example.
The Founders knew that we were
too diverse to have any one religion
imposed on anyone else, and the ACLU
today stands in their footsteps in
defending church-state separation and
unpopular viewpoints because once
the government starts interfering in
speech and religion , all of our freedoms
go down the tube.
As to the furlough issue, local
taxpayers being asked to fund new
prisons and salaries for prison guards
should be aware that all 50 states and
the federal government have furlough
programs, that over 53,000 persons
got furloughs in 1987, and very few
prisoners violated the terms of their
furlough.
If B ush wishes to turn this campaign
into a series of seminars, the seminar
on penology would demonstrate that
Republican and Democratic governors

was supposed to graduate in May of
1989 , however , now hasno idea when
she will graduate because her last
required course is full of graduate
students and mass communications
majors. Still the department refused to
give her a "pink sli p ".
I ask that you please rep ly to this
letter. After examining these problems
and talking to students in the same
situation as myself , I feel that you owe
us an explanatio n. If I do not receive
any answers, I will see you in your
office.
Sincerely
W.

su

major was already overloaded with
students , not to mention those on the
waiting list
I can understand that this
adm inistration would wish to promote
the majors available at BU besides the
ones it is already well known for:
education, business , and nursing.
However, they spend a lot of time and
effort equipping and promoting an
obviousl y shaky department when
some of our most stable, proven
depar tments such as chemistry ,
communication studies, and history
are virtually ignored on visitation days.
Hopefully , for the sake of the
students and for this university 's
credibility, the problems within the
mass communications department will
be solved. Until then , the
administration should stop making
promises to potential and incoming
students that it knows it cannot keep.
Unsiened

all filled to capacity within the first
two days of scheduling. Furthermore ,
I was told by a professor in the speech
communicationsdepartment that many
of the students in these upper-level
classes are mass communications
majors. How can you ignore the double
standard? They can take our classes ,
but we can not take theirs.
The last major problem I want to
address here is the decision made by
the faculty in the speech
communications department to
discontinue giving "pink slips", no
mauer what the reason.
I happen to know a BU student who

and presidents alike rely on furlough
programs. Bush was responsible for
setting up a half-way house for
offenders , and one of the residents of
that program later raped and killed
several people , andhedidnotrepudiate
the program as a result and quite
rightly so. Far more people are not
raped and murdered because furlough
programs and half-way houses enable
offenders to make the transition back
to freedom withoutcommitting further
crimes. The truth here is so obvious
that one trembles for the country at the
success of this "big lie" technique that
Hider perfected so well in his assault
on the Weimar Republic.
In the end , the voters will note that
Bush has for eight years done nothing
independently, and thus has no
independent record to be examined
that comes close to the work Gov .
Dukakis has done as governor of
Massachusetts. The few things Bush
has done have shown poor judgement
— from backing aid to Iran to thinking
Dan Quayle would do as his vice
president.
Quite frankly, after all is said and
done, Bush may even stand in Quayle 's
shadow after the crassness and deceit
of this campaign.

We haven ' t been writing editorial orpersonals attacking
Phi Sigma Sigma. We 've accepted them as a new sorority
on campus and intend to work with them , not against
them.
The articles being written concerning Theta Chi have
not only been disrespectful in nature, they 've disgusted
me. Theta Chi did their damnedestto get where they are
and I admire them for that
Why must certain individuals continue to display bad
feelings towards Theta Chi? They are a great group of
guys and much easier to work with than some other
fraternities I' ve come across. I won 't mention names, I'd
only be stooping to there level.
Hey, the brothers of Theta Chi know that it's what
they 've done that counts, not what others think they 've
done (or haven ' t done). I just wish some people would
grow up and learn to work with others in order to develop
the greek system on this campus. It simply won 't work if
people continue to attack each other. We're in college
now. Let 's grow up kids.

Black vote may have low impact in '88

Broadcast journalist Paul Duke spoke to students last week on the roles of the
press in political arena.

Paul Duke addresses
j ournalism students
on political reporting

by Lois Shearer
and Julie Forrester
for The Voice
Paul Duke, the second speakein the
Provost's Lecture Series told a nearly
full forum on Friday what it is like to
be a journalist in Washington.
Beginning as an Associated Press
reporter in 1957, he has been a senior
correspondant for public television
since 1974, best known as the modcratorof the weekly news seriesWasftington Week in Review.
Duke stated the role of the press is
to report the facts. Throughout his
presentation he stressed the importance of the First Amendment. One of
his heroes was a senator from South
Carolina who said the First Ammendment was not designed to protect the
press, it was designed to protect the
people. Duke said he felt the public
has a right to know about the personal
lives of political candidates. He
mentioned that the press was instru-

mental in the Watergate scandal. He
also talked about how the press covered Billy Carters involvement with
Libya and the Gary Hart scandal.
Duke said most politicians are creatures of vanity, who want to hear three
things: praise,praise, andmore praise.
He said politicians try to do things
that aren't in the public's interest and
the press exposes this.
Duke spoke about people's complaints that the press is too negative,
and not enough good news is reported.
He said there is one paper that only
reports the good news, it's a paper in
Moscow and that's the communist
way. He said news reporting is superficial and many local news programs
are poor as they cover too many
murders, auto accidents, etc. This is
all due to the ratings game, he said.
Duke is a news junkie, he reads the
paper every day and watches news on
television to keep on top of things.
He said he really loves his job.

CHICAGO - In theblackcommunity,
the question is not whom to vote for,
but whether to vote.
"Go out and ask blacks about the
election, and many are angry because
Jesse Jacksonisn 'trunning,"said I.A.
Lewis, director of the Los Angeles
Times poll.
"On the other hand, there's no one
they 'd like to see get in less than
(George) Bush. They've had their
heads bashed in for eight years by this
administration."
It is a dilemma many blacks across
the country face, should they vote for
Democratic presidential nominee
Michael S. Dukakis, or stay home on
Election Day?
Dukakis has not been warmly received by many in the black community .
This summer, he was seen not only
as the man who defeated Jackson in
the spring primaries, but who worsened the wound by not informing
Jackson of his vice presidential choice
before making the selection public.
Many blacks perceived that as a
snub. A survey by Washington 's
Joint Center for Political Studies in
Augustfound"anunenthusiasticblack
electorate" that was "unlikely to turn
out on November 8."
But Jackson is campaigning vigorously for Dukakis. Pollsters find that
blacks, when asked whom they support, overwhelmingly favor the Massachusetts governor.
To translate more of that support
into votes, black leaders in many
communities are heading energetic
campaign efforts.
Linda F. Williams, senior political
analyst at the center, said Friday that
it was possible that black turnout this
year could reach the 56 percent figure
of 1984.
"If you have good get-out-the-vote
activity and Dukakis keeps differentiating between himself and Bush , that
could lift the turnout," she said.
Most national polls see Dukakis

winning about nine of every 10 black
votes, about the same percentage that
Democratic presidential nominees
have enjoyed since the 1960s.
But the question is how many
blacks will turn out, and that depends
largely on three people; Dukakis,
Jackson and George Bush , the Republican nominee.
On East 63rd Street on Chicago's
South Side, across from a vacant lot,
the Dukakis operation seems incongruous. The red-brick shopping center seems to have little life to it. But
inside this is a busy place, full of intensity and fun. Twenty volunteers
squeeze their way into a room and try
to fill their telephone quotas of 37
calls an hour, eight hours a day.
The Dukaki s campaign is reaching
voters such as Sean Ford, a recent college graduate looking for a job. He
knows that while the national jobless
rate for whites in August was 4.9
pcrcent .itwas 11.3 percent for blacks.
"It's not tough because of racism or
anything like that ," Ford said . "The
familiarity with the business community isn 't thcre for many blatks. They
tend to come from families where the
parents have not worked with big
business, and the subtleties of finding
a job are just not known."
ThomasCullensisa security guard,
but because of government cutbacks,
he is unable to afford college. He
hears Republicans talk about how
millions of new jobs have been created. "What jobs?" he asks. "I've
applied for all of them."
Dukakis is hammering hard at the
idea that he is more sensitive to these
concerns. He has made three radio
ads that are running on black radio
stations nationwide, and in one says
that under Republicans, "the gap between black and white Americans
has widened in every way."
There is a growing confidence here
and in many black communities
around the country that people will
turn cut for Dukakis. "We're going to
do very well," says Joseph Warren,
Dukakis' national general election

coordinator.
The key to how well Dukakis does
could be a few miles away. In Chicago's downtown, amid thebig banks
and government buildings, is the national headquarters of the Rainbow
Coalition, headed by Jackson.
Just a block from city hall, this was
the campaign headquarters for former
Chicago Mayor Harold Washington.
But there is little elegance here, from
the gray tile floors to the hodgepodge
of bumper stickers and posters that
dot the walls.
In the back sits Joseph E. Gardner,
the coalition's operations director, in
an office that looks borrowed from a
detective movie.
Throughout the fall , the question of
whether Dukakis would use Jackson
and how strongly Jackson and his
supporters would back Dukakis has
gnawed at the campaign . Jackson had
seemed invisible; Dukakis rarely had
rallies or events in black communities.
Therehave been some changes over
the past few weeks. Jackson has been
campaigning at his trademark hectic
pace.
Dukakis and black leaders from
around thecountry, including Jackson ,
held a widely publicized meeting last
week. Jackson has made several radio
ads for Dukakis. Ronald L. Brown ,
Jackson 's convention chairman, is
now a top Dukakis adviser.
Even so, Gardner does not seem
enthralled by Dukakis. "If the campaign had incorporated our ideas inlo
the campaign earlier, we could have
had a greater impact in a number of
states," he said, notably in the Northeast and South. "The campaign got
off to a fairly slow start, and that
affected everyone."
Dukakis compounded the problem
at an appearance in August in Philadelphia, Miss., near the site where
three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964 by members of the Ku
KIux Klan. Dukakis never mentioned
the incident.
Now, though , it is less than two

weeks until the election, and Gardner
insists "there's no ill feeling"between
the two camps.
He, Brown and other Jackson backers refuse to be drawn into any controversy these days about Jackson's
role. The Mississippijncident, Gardner says, was an oversight. Jackson 's
seemingly invisible role in September was no problem .
The important thing, Gardner and
others say, is that 1988 should be
viewed not only as a campaign to be
won, but as a building block, another
step toward acquiring power and
prestige for Jackson's movement.
Others blacks are inclined to vote
for Bush. In the middle- to uppermiddle class Chatham-Avalon neighborhood of Chicago, Jim Perkins is
one.
Perkins had been a social worker
during the 1970s, but found he was
not seeing much progress among
those who neededhelp. People needed
jobs, he said, and Republicans were
better at creating them .
He and others Bush backers know
the charges that have been made by
Democrats,thatRepublicans have run
a racist campaign, scaring voters by
running ads about how convicted
murderer William Horton Jr., who is
black, escaped from a Massachusetts
furlough program and raped a white
woman.
Jackie Robinson, another Chicago
Bush supporter, had a quick defense.
"You don 't spend your time worrying about racism," he said. "Racism
is an irrational reaction.This is a twoparty system, and the Republicans
have never told us no."
The Bush campaign all but admits
its efforts among blacks are lagging .
Connie Newman, deputy director of
Bush's national voter coalition, said
there will be a radio ad aimed at
blacks but would not disclose its
contents.
Bush officials admit they will be
fortunate to get 10 percent of the
national black vote. "You don't move
mountains overnight,"Newman said.

Abortion pill creates medical world stir

Remember the good old days when
Halloween meant trick-or-trcat, bobbing for apples and bags full of candy
bars? When the holiday 's main movie
image was wide-eyed little Margaret
O'Brien , as Tootie in Meet Me in
St.Louis.
How times change. Nowadays ,
mention of Hallo ween — and the ridiculously inevitable new horror
sequel , Halloween 4 — suggests frantically groping small-town teenagers, interrupted in their promiscuous love-play to bchideously slaughtered by a white-masked, bloodthirsty
fiend.
Gore. Skcwcnngs. Carnage. LitUc
girls running around in clown suits
pursued by maniacs. Eviscerated
cops. Charred corpses. Howling lynch
mobs.
Once agai n , Haddonficld , 111., that
hunk of complacent suburbia where
unkillablc psychotic Michael Myers
wreaked his bloody will 10 years ago,
is subject to the peregrinations of this
taciturn slasher-come-home.
Now, he is stalking his little niece,
Jamie (Danielle Harris). And her
doggie. And her mama. And everybody else.
Once again , thoughdess, lustful
teen-agers paw one another , while the
smiler with a knife — and an ax and a
truck — waits to pounce.
Once again , Donald Pleasence, as
psychiatrist Loomis, runs around
pleading with everyone to realize that
Michael iscvil incarnate,conquerable
only by several police forces , the
National Guard and perhaps a small

thermonuclear device.
Myers is not just a man , not just a
monster. He is something far more
loathsome and destructive: a hi gh
concept fro m hell.
Anyone who goes to Halloween 4
deserves what they get: stale, sordid
tricks and no treats. Original writerdirector John Carpenter has long since
bailed out , survived only by a snatch
of music and a pastiche of his patented
subjective tracking shots.
Jamie Lee Curtis is present only in a
snapshot (And at that , she gives one of
the film 's more animated performances).
Donald Pleasence is still there,
sadly enough , wandering around in a
mass of scar tissue, giving this hopeless trash a patina of class. But he
looks weary unto death , as if the prospect of being disemboweled by a
maniac boded sweet,mcrciful release.
What is more remorseless and cruel
than an endlessly rampaging sequel?
Despite a slighdy tricky climax ,
Halloween 4 (MPAA rated R for sex
and violence) is the sort of ugly,
squishy movie where it is hard to
appreciate any displays of skill.
Cinematographer Peter Lyons
Collistcr docs some crisply atmospheric work, but Dy the end , he and
director Dwight Litde have plunged
the film into such gloom they frustrate
you.
There is so little light you cannot
even read your watch to find out when
you can get out of the theater.
And leaving the theater is one of the
only pleasures this movie has to offer.
Halloween 4 ... Bah , Humbug!

GAUNTtET !! WAKES WAGlC

Games Expert
To those who have played Gauntlet
and decided that they enjoy the concept but have battied through all of the
major levels and still yearn for more,
fear not. Gauntlet II is such a game and
provides hours of entertainment.
Like the original , Gauntlet II features the Valkyrie, Elf , Warrior, and
Wizard . The infamous band of video
characters continues to battle against
demons, lobbcrs, and death himself.
Similar to the original, the sequel
to Gauntlet features three easy controller elements. The joystick charges
your character down dark corridors to
face the evil nasties that await. All
characters have some sort of projectile
weapon. The Fire button is the controller which launches these deadly

one cannot reach a potion , th at potion
can be shot. This normall y has half the
effect.
Shots must be carefully monitored.
This is not just true witli regard to food
and magic. As the characters move
from level to level , shots can injure
other players. Depending on how one
feels about his fellow adventurers , he
can shoot at them. This plan of action
is not advised however. Teamwork is
essential in Gauntlet and Gauntlet II.
The other features which make
Gauntlet II such an enjoyable game
include stunning tiles, shifting walls,
magic amulets , and many secret
suprizes. This also means new nasties
to batde.
All in all, for those who enjoyed
Gauntlet , there is more. It 's called
Gauntlet II.

As we waited for everyone to free
themselves from the spider 's web, and
the vamp ire to (hopefully) still be full ,
we started down the leaf trail.
The roar of an engine at the rear of
our group suddenly became a fri ghtening reality as Jason was back — for
real, chainsaw and all. Trying to run
was futile because the leaves made
any sort of traction impossible. Slipping and sliding our way down the
hall , wc go through another door.
It is a laboratory. The mad scientist
and Igor are there, with operating table
and victim , looking for blood and a
brain.
Seeming to be some of the nicer
people in the Haunted Haas, I offer my
blood. The "doctor" asks if I have a
brain , and my ever-supporuve (and
honest) friend , BJ, says, "Naa, she
doesn 't have a brain." This made the
doctor happy. I conceded I had a brain,
but that it was only a small one.
Ready to literally "donate my body
to science," our tour guide thanks us
for coming and leaves us at a door. It
is closed. You mean it 's over? MG and
I look at each other. I don t think so.
Still at the front of the group, we
opened the door. Then we went down
a couple steps, into another dark,
sheeted hallway. It was very dark.
We start walking slowly down the
hallway, because we had no idea what
or who was gonna practice the "art of
surprise" on us, as the sound of metal
scraping against metal becomes increasingly louder. A riderless tricycle
rolls in front of us, coming from
nowhere.
Still clinging to each other, BJ included by now, we are confronted by
the shadow of a dark fi gure. He looks
pretty much human. He is wearing a
hat. There is a glove on his right hand
... and he has razors for fingers . Oh
shit, another horror movie set. The
infamous Freddy Kruger, with an intensely frightening just-like-themovie-face who the little girl practically told us was going to be here, is
standing right in front of us.
He starts walking toward us, everso-slowly, using die art of suspense.
His razors flash in front of my face, as
I can, again, no longer keep quiet, and
MG, BJ and I drag each other past the
man we saw on TV in the lobby.
We run down the hallway, through
the doors. There is a blood-curdling
scream. Wc glance back and realize
the tour guide got it. We were just
thankful it wasn't us.
As wc wander back to the lobby,
BJ' s man says, "Is that all?"

us with a snarl , which I thought was
quite vicious, considering I didn 't do
anything to him . Small detail , I guess.
The stage was transformed into a
maze, using sound shells.
As we became guinea pigs wandering through the maze, I wanted to
know what our reward would be for
getting to the finish line. I was about to
make a crack to MG about that when
the sight of a punk vampire silenced
me quite quickly, which , I might add ,
is not an easy thing to do.
I still remained quiet as a zombied
woman lie on the floor ahead of me
with blood all over her body (at least I
thought it wasblood—I didn 't stop to
ask for details).
Figuring she was dead, I stared a
little, but kept walking past her. Next
thing I know , she's asking (screaming) for us to hel p her, as she grabs my
feet , which ends my silence, and I let
out a scream of my own.
If I ever find out who she really is, I
must apologize to her for stepping on
her fingers. Then I ran into the reason
she was so bloody.
A hideous looking spider — a
hideous looking, big , life-size spider
— was coming at me. I didn 't know if
I should have apologized to him , too,
for being in his way, so I tried to get out
of his way, which meant walking past
him.
As the spider seemed to have found
a more interesting snack behind me, I
was faced with the punk vampire's
boyfriend. Well , I just hoped he was
full , and dragged MG through the door
with me.
Somehow wc survived the maze,
but no sign of a reward. Bummer. MG
says, "Hey, we're backstage." Leaves
covering the entire floor and sheets on
the walls somehow made me realize
this wasn't the kind of backstage the
Bloomsburg Players are used to.

projectiles. Then there is the magic
button. This will activate the magical
potions that the characters can collect
as they brave the dark unknown.
As you wander about the darkened
dungeons , you will meet with many
different situations. You will fight
monsters, collect treasures, and find
food to eat (some of which is poisoned).
Good food will restore health points
which can be lost battling the evil
nasties. Some food is represented by
earthenware jugs. These can be shot
and destroyed, so the would-be adventurer should be careful as he is taking
aim.
Magic can be applied in one of two

television in the lobby, the mood was
set.
Led by a black and white-faced tour
guide in black tails, my friend MG and
I walked through the doors prepared
for anything, as wc clung to each other
before the doors even opened . And we
were at the front of our group. Daring,
may be. Crazy is more accurate,
though.
Wc proceeded down the dark corridor , one of many, (to the right of the
audi tori urn , by the coat racks) on a facsimile of train tracks with quite real
sound effects echoing around us. As
the train tooted (in the distance?), we
tried to figure out which direction it
was going to come at us from , and
were blinded by a tremendous spotli ght flash.
Seeing stars, we turned left into the
audi torium , at least what used to be the
auditorium.
Walking through tunnels of sheets,
a littl e girl hauntingl y singing, "One,
two, Freddy 's coming for you ," made
us pick up the pace a bit. Then one of
The Lost Boys came from the darkness
on the other side, while a woman
dressed in black — maybe a female
vampire — tried to get some fresh
meat.
Now walking between the aisles, a
mummy lying on the floor tried to
make a new friend by grabbing our
feet.
As we were walked quickl y in front
of the stage that also could not be
recognized, we thought wc walked on

saw it before; I felt lucky I missed that
one, as a very well camouflaged scarecrow kept us away from his corn.
As we wandered through the corn
fields (with real corn stalks) and proceeded up the steps onto what we
remembered was really the stage,

'King of the Mill' Corvette the culmination of new models

by Glenn Schwab
Managing Editor
Editor's note: This is the
last of a four-part series.
1983 was peculiar for Corvette
enthusiasts because it was the only
year General Motors didn 'tmanufacture its fiberglass sports car since the
first model in 1953. Although the
Corvette was sold in the spring of '83,
it was an '84 model. The reason
behind this absence was that the new
design for this sixth-generation
model was experiencing teething
problems and GM didn 't want to release the Vette until it was as close to
perfect as possible.
With the exception of the engine,
everything was new in the 1984
Corvette. This model featured unit
construction , a removable one-piece
roof panel, a new rear glass liftback
and an electronic instrument display
with digital and color bar graphs. The
rear suspension was a five-link independent design with fiberglass-reinforced plastic leaf springs mounted at
both ends.
The L83 350 delivered 205 hp with
the help of a Cross-Fire TBI
(Throttle-Body Injection) system

hate-it-or-love-it variety. Some
purists found the absence of the
traditional bulging rear and front
fenders and the widening of the
mid-section to be too radical a
change. Others found the new
sty le a refreshing change from the
previous 15 year-old design.
"Slippery" was the word most
often used to describe the new
design elements. The 'Vette's
windshield contributed greatly to
this image, its 64-degree slope
being the steepest of any American production car in history.
The '84 was the best-handling
model to date, the Eagle VR50series tires designed specifically
for the Corvette by Goodyear giving it excellent road- gripping
ability in either wet or dry conditions. The bad point about these
tires was, and still is, the fact that

COACH 'S CORNER
Jan Hutchinson : The driving
force behind BU field hockey
By Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
During the next two weeks Head
Field Hockey Coach Jan Hutchinson
will be busy preparing her players for
the 1988 National Championship
Tournament. Defending champ
Bloomsburg
defeated
East
Stroudsburg University on Friday (10) and Kutztown on Saturday (1-0) to
take their fourth Pennsylvania Conference Championship in the last six
bouts.
The Huskies (19-1-1) will make their
ninth straight national tournament appearance and have claimed four of
these titles in the last seven years.
Hutchinson 's team always manages
to dominate, no matter what the circumstances. This season her players
have racked up 768 shots on goal to
their opponent 's 151 and have
outscored the opposition 70-7.
In her 11th season as head coach,
Hutchinson brings her career record to
174-30-15. How can one team be so
consistent and successful?
Hutchinson contributes the success
to four factors. "We spend a lot of time
with basic skills. One on one our players have superior skills to those on
other teams." Hutchinson also tries to
get the players to understand the science and strategy of the sport. And
physical conditioning is no small part

ofthistrainingprogram. Ourkidsare
in superior condition physically. Very
few teams can stay with us in the
second half. Wc usually beat teams in
the second half because of that."
Not least of all is team unity . "The
team is a family and it 's a team sport.
They get along so well and have so
much fun—especially this team."
When there's such intense competition , how do they keep this team unity ?
Hutchinson states, "They love the
game. We work very hard , but we try
to keep it fun. "
"I think they know I care a great deal
about them as individuals. That helps."
Not only docs Hutchinson want them
to play field hockey well and have fun ,
but she wants them to take away a lot
more than that from the experience. "I
want them to become good people.
They are hard working and honest and
caring. They know how to set goals for
themselves and work towards achieving them." She added , "Players need
to learn to work together and be giving."
Even with all this success, BU has
no room for overconfidence. "I keep
challenging them with new goals so
they don 't get over-confident. They
have to want to play thebest game they
can and not worry about winning and
losing. If they do this, they can never
be disappointed.If someoncbcatsthem

at their best , then perhaps other teams
deserve to win."
Sofar . thathasn'thappened.BUhas
been at their best all season and excellent coaching is the reason.
"I really respect my coac h because
she doesn 't play favorites but plays
according to potential. She's very
dedicated and she cares about us on
and off the field .notjuslbccause we're
field hockey players butbecause we're
humans outside of hockey," stated
senior link Michelle Carcarey.
She added , "Field hockey teaches
you a lot of things. Il teaches you how
to get along with other people, work as
a unit , have good communication
skills, leadership abilities, and patience.
BU goalie April Kolar knows all
about patience. Many times she's just
waited patientl y for some action while
her teammates were up-field passing,
dodging, dominating, and scoring
against BU opponents. She said that
Hutchinson "knows what she's talking about. Her hockey program is a big
success because she knows what she 's
talking about. And everyone is out ot
hel p everyone else—it 's a group effort."
Kolar said that what she 's learned is
how to getalong with everyone. "Team
work counts." Obviously, the Huskies
know what they 're talking about.

Danccn Fcro (31) and two East Stroudsburg players fight for possession of the ball on Friday. BU won the first-round
title game 1-0 on the strength of Susie Slocum 's goal, and beat Kutztown 1-0 to capture the PC title on Saturday.

Today wc celebrate the holiday
of Halloween , the pleasure of
being forced to sec candy all
around you and testing your will
power here in this diet conscious
America of ours, the colors of orange and black constantly staring
you in the face , an the annual event
of dressing up in costumes, and
putting on masks.
Masks: 1. A covering worn on
ihc face to conceal one's identity.
Since today is Halloween , I
would like to focus on those people
who deal with sports who mi ght
find itbeneficial to invest inamask
for a few days, weeks?
Let 's start with the people who
thought that Bill Cosby should purchase the 76crs. The famous star of
the Cosby show was in rumors
around the City of Brotherly Love
which said that he and former star
of the. 76crs , Julius Erving should
purchase the team. I mean , something like this would give me nightmares everyni ght. I can picture it
now. Bill Cosby 's starting five:
Mommy at guard , Daddy at forward , son at shooting guard ,
daughter at swing forward , and
Rover the dog at center. Don 't get
mc wrong, I'd rather have Rover
than Mike Gminski , or Cliff
Robinson. But I don 't think that
this team would prove to be a
power house in the NBA.
Dick Perry : the man that cofounded the Short Fat Guys Road
Run in Marccllus N.Y. This 5'8",
185 pounder whose favorite foods
arc twinkics and whipped cream
strai ght , developed the race which
entails a 3.1 mile walk-run with
stops along the way to load up on
junk food and cigarrcttcs. The race,
which is held on Nov . 13, brought
50 people the last two years, but
witli two weeks left before the race
there has been no signups. Looks
like N.Y. is out of a premo event,
unless this diet phase of America
ends in a hurry.
It pains mc to talk about this next
person.
Alrig ht I'll do it. This man has
been a legacy in the game of tennis.
With over 100 grand prix titles
under his belt, including titles in all
of the Grand Slam events at times
in his career, my man Jimbo,
Jimmy Commors, has decided to
risk putting a serious blow to his
career. By listening to Merv Griffin , Jimbo has decided lo audition
for the job of replacing Pat Sajek as
the host of The Wheel of Fortune. I
kid you not. The producers do feel
however that he may be too much
of a risk , knowing what a jester he
is on the tennis court. Let's hope
for the sake of tennis, they decide
not lo hire Jimmy Connors. This
will also save mc many sleepless
ni ghts.
And last but not least, Mark
Gastineau. The former New York
Jet who was leading the league in
sacks, when he decided to quit midway through this season because
he says his heart wasn't into it
anymore. Yeah, Okay. It's pretty
obvious that he quit because his
wife, Brigitte Nielson , was getting
too much grief from New York
fans. C.mon Mark have you been
talking to Mike Tyson? Look for
Mark and Mike to get raked for
everything except their last pair of
underwear.
Just when you thought that Halloween would run out of scary stories think again. Have a good Halloween.

Huskies win PSAC Title 1-0

Bloomsburg defe ats Kutztown to capture f ourthtitle in six years
by Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
Sophomore Susie Slocum and junior Daneen Fcro scored goals respectively against East Stroudsburg University Friday (1-0) and Kutztown
University Saturday (1-0) that led to
another Pennsylvania Conference
championshi p title for Bloomsburg
University field hockey in their ninth
conference tournament appearance.
The victories bring BU' s record to
19-1-1, the best in Division III, with
15 of those games (79 percent) recorded as shutouts.
This PC championship is the fourth
of the last six bouts for Bloomsburg,
who captured the regular season conference with a record of 6-0-1. The tie
came from a match with Millersville,
who lost to Kutztown on Friday in
overtime flickoffs in the second playoff game in title play.
BU proved that their regular season
victory bout against Kutztown , with a
like score of 1-0 off a Cindy Hurst
goal , wasn 't luck or chance. Husky
offense and defense united in a superb
team effort to put the Bears back in the
woods.
With the Kutztown offense pressuring, BU defense had to come through.
Freshman Gisela Smith , freshman
Trudy Horst, junior Kath y Frick , senior Betsy Warmerdam , and senior
Michelle Carcarcy all had good defensive games. Carcarey 's play was out-

standing. This player was all over the
field—always in the right place at the
right time. She made two excellen t
defensive saves when BUgoalie April
Kolar was pulled off her angle. Everywhere Carcarcy went she stopped
Kutztown efforts to break through the
Husky defense.
It would be a crime not to mention
the handiwork of goalie Kolar . She
was phenomenal against ihc Bears.
She made 15 saves during the game—
especially toward the middle of the
second hal f when she was barraged
with four consecutive shots and saved
them all before BU was awarded a 16yard hit.
The second half was scoreless, but
not without fair attempts. Senior
Cindy Hurst was hassled by Kutztown
defenders on a breakaway and a penally shot was awarded to BU. Quiet
descended again as Gisela Smith
faced the opposing goalie with only 42
seconds left in the game. Smith' s shot
was a great shot to the very left of the
cage, but it just missed its mark and
rebounded off the post.
Offensivel y, the game saw some
pinball action—the ball kept going all
over the field as the teams locked in
competition. Only Kutztown was a
little too agressive. BU was awarded
two penalty corners before a
Kutztown player was carded for pushing in front of the cage. This set up
another penalty corner for BU and the

freshman Gisela Smith (13) moves a ball around an ESU player during conference play this weekend. Teammate
Daneen Fcro (31) looks on. Fcro netted the goal on Saturday against Kutztown that clinched the Pennsylvania
Conference Championship title for BU.

only goal of the game. Cindy Hurst
drove the bal l to Smith at the top of the
circle, who slopped it cleanly for
Daneen v Fcro. Fero knocked in a
bouncing shot right between the
goalie 's legs at 23:39 in the first hal f.
BU took 18 shots to the Bears' 16
and was awarded five more penalty
corners than 'heir opponent. "In the
first halfwc passed well and pressured
them very well so they could never gel
anything going. In the second half we

didn t pressure as well and Kutztown
got some shots off ," Hutchinson said.
East Stroudsburg didn 't get that
chance in the tournament opener..
Hutchinson looked calm and collected
on home sidelines Friday as BU took
on a psyched but unranked ESU.
Bloomsburg would emerge victorious
from the cold , muddy field of battle,
but ESU would put up a good fight.
Both teams played hard , though BU
dominated . In the middle of the first
half , BU players brought the ball
down to scoring range with nice passing plays and there was a skirmish in
front of the cage. An ESU player fell
and ended up sitting on the ball , which
immediately gave BU a penalty stroke
opportunity.
Quiet descended on the field as
Susie Slocum prepared to face the
goalie alone. Her shot, however, was
wide, but that didn 't stop her from
scoring before the end of the half with
two and a half minutes remaining. The
Huskies brought the ball down the
field again and they were awarded a
hit outside the circle. Michelle Carcarcy, who played excellently in both
games, hit the ball into the circle and
Slocum picked it up center cage,
where she slammed it in. "Susie's
goal was beautiful ," Hutchinson
stated. That score would seal the victory and ESU would not answer the
challenge.
Bloomsburg outshot the Warriors
by 20 and took 11 penalty corners to
their two. "Their were moments when
we played really well, and we did play
a good game," commented senior
wing AliciaTerrizzi , "but we're going
to work on supporting each other better and getting the loose balls."

Millersville crushes BU football. 51-17
by Dave Sauter
Staff Writer
"No Virginia , there is not a Santa
Claus." At least this was the case on
Saturday night as Bloom sburg University was thoroughly trounced by
Millersville, 51-17.
Turnovers crushed the Huskies as
BU fumbled the ball away three times
and were intercepted three more
which led to four Marauder scores.
Meanwhile, the Huskies did manage to move the ball against the MU
"prevent" defense as 325 offensive
yards were wracked up. However,
once again the Bloomsburg offense
could just not consistently put the ball
in the endzone.
"We had some chances, a couple of
big plays we didn 't capitalize on. The
ball didn 't bounce our way. It was just
a thorough whipping," said Delmas
Woods, BU's senior strong safety.
The Huskies played tough early in
the game as they held a 10-7 lead
going into the second quarter.
After a Millersville score on their
opening drive, a one-yard plunge by
Al Deans, Bloomsburg drove back
with a 25-yard field goal by freshman
Mark Weiss.

The 41-yard drive in 11 plays was
set up by quarterback Paul Venesky's
13 yard run and Mike Medina 's nine
yard run. Weiss' kick came at the
12:31 mark.
Millersville fumbled the ball on
their next possession and Chris Gross
of BU recovered at the MU 38.
Three plays later, Venesky found
Sparks in the endzone on a 27-yard
pass p lay with only 32 seconds left in
the first quarter. The extra point by
Weiss was good and the Huskies enjoyed their only lead of the game, 107.
The second quarter belonged to
Millersville as the Marauder defense
completely stifled the BU offense ,
forcing two interceptions and a
fumble.
The Marauders scored 23 unanswered points in the stanza sparked by
the running of junior tailback Scott
Highley and the passing of veteran
quarterback Bret Stover.
Millersville scored touchdowns off
passes from Stover to tight end Roger
Smith (five yards), split end Tony
Malatesta (eight yards) and to Highley
for 38 yards. Kicker Luke Hadfielc
added a 25-yard field goal for gooc

measure. At halftime, the score was
30-10.
Stover 's pass to Highley really hurt
the Huskies the most as it was the
difference between going into
halftime down by two TD's versus
three.
Woods later added, "I think the
biggest thing that hurt us was the score
they got right before the half. The
score at the time was 23-10, and two
scores puts us back in it. Then they
scored making us have to score three
times."
Bloomsburg came out after
halftime pumped up and moved the
ball fairly well, but as has been a
problem all season , could not score the
touchtown.
At one point, the Huskies had a first
down on the Millersville 14, but four
straig ht incomplete passes did
Bloomsburg in. Three of those passes
BU receivers touched, but could just
not haul in for the score.
Woods said, "We got the ball early
in the third quarter, but didn 't score.
Those two things (the MU touchdown
before halftime) were the biggest
things. That's a 14 point swing right
there."

Millersville put the game completely out of reach in the fourth quarter as the MU second string came in
and kept scoring against the demoralized Husky squad.
Stover left the game after he put the
Marauders up 37-10 with a 32-yard
pass to Highley, Stover's fourth TD
pass of the night.
Senior running back Shaun Arline
scored on a 14-yard run making it 4410 in favor of MU.
Venesky did complete a 41-yard
bomb to Steph Kern to make it 44-17,
but Millersville with a 53 yard touchdown run by reserve sophomore quarterback Dave Becker to round out the
scoring, 51-17.
The loss by Bloomsburg severely
damaged the hopes of the Huskies for
making the playoffs.
Not only will BU drop from its 13th
ranking nationally, but two more
tough games against IUP and New
Haven lay ahead.
Bloomsburg, now 7-2 on the season, will face IUP next Saturday in
the last home game of the season. The
game will start at 1:00 p.m. and is a
must win situation for the Huskies.
See FOOTBALL page 7

Hutchinson agreed. "ESU got to the
loose balls first. In the first half we
were trying to play our methodical
game, but we did better in the second
half with pressuring. It was hard to get
a passing game going when they 're
(ESU) so spirited."
Even so, BU's will to succeed and
talent could not be surpresscd.
The championship title brings
Hutchinson 's record to 174-30-15 in
her 11th season as head coach. With
her hockey and Softball records combined , she has the most wins for a
coach with 461. In single sport coaching, Charles Chronister, the men 's
basketball coach, has the most wins
with over 300.
BU field hockey has outscorcd the
opposition 70-7 and has taken 768
shots on goal to their opponents' 151
shots. Kolar made 126 season saves.
Senior Sharon Reilly leads all BU
scorers with 12 goals and six assists,
while Hurst is not far behind with 11
goals and four assists. Slocum raises
her total to 10 goals and five assists,
followed closely by Fero with nine
goals and four assists.The facts speak
for themselves—it's always amazing
when you have so many people figure
in the team's scoring. And 17 players
have done so for Bloomsburg.
The next step for BU will be to
defend their 1987 national championship title at the 1988 nationals. The
conference call for tournament location will take place today. For the
Huskies, it will be their ninth straight
national tournament appearance. BU
has claimed four of these titles in the
last seven years and this year should
be no different for the Huskies , who
like to go out in style.
