Education maj ors suggest
improvements at meeting

by Karen Reiss
Editor-in-Chief
Nearly 100 education majors gathered last Monday to voice their concerns about the required field studies
courses.
The meeting, moderated by Professor William O'Bruba, chairperson of
curriculum and foundations , was called
in response to the letters to the editor
run on two different occasions in The
Voice .
O'Bruba said he wanted to allow
students the chance to vent their frustrations with the courses.
"We took notes and recorded the
session," he said. "We will compile
the information and distribute it
throughout the department."
O'Bruba added that another meeting with students will be held late this
semester or first thing next semester to
discuss what changes, if any, can be
made to make the courses more agreeable.
"I don't think we'll have enough
time this semester," he said.
Education major Theresa Creasy
said she expected the negative before
the meeting but was pleased with the
outcome.
"I went into the meeting with a

pessimistic attitude, but once he
(O'Bruba) let us know reasons for
implimenting the field studies courses,
I felt better about what was going on,"
Creasy said. "Just the open communication was very helpful."
One of the main points O'Bruba
made was that the committees responsible for reviewing the curriculum for
education majors stress the Reed for
more practical experience.
"They don't feel student teaching is
enough," he said.
According to Dr. Howard Mac Cauley, dean of professional studies,
the two bodies that review the curriculum specifically for teacher education
are the Pennsylvania Department of
Education and the National Council
for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
"Both groups will be visiting the
campus in 1990 to make sure we offer
field experience early for freshmen
end sophomores," he said.
One student chose not to attend the
meeting because she was informed it
would "just be a grievance session."
Junioreducation major Kathy Moyer
she-didn 't feel like hearing all the
complaints again.
"You can complain all you want but

westill have to put up with the courses,
Moyer said. "We're the guinea pigs."
Moyer said one of the. major problems with the Field Studies I and*fl
classes is that most students are unable
to schedule them until their jun ior or
senior year.
"They would be much more beneficial if taken as a freshmen ,"she added.
Other concerns aired at the meeting
were the lack of participation from
area schools, limited space for the
trips to the schools , cancelled trips ,
and miscommunications about rescheduling the trips.
According to Moyer, students miss
other classes at times because of the
trips.
She added that the local schools are
sometimes disturbed when the field
studies students show up at the wrong
times.
"They are say ing Bloomsburg University is basically a nuisance," Moyer said. "We set a bad example."
O'Bruba said he thought the students at the meeting handled themselves very professionally.
"I was very impressed with the way
the students conducted themselves,"
he said. "We will try to react to the
concerns."

The Telethon of Hope, spon sored by the Columbia County
unit of the American Cancer Society, raised a total of $11,590 yesterday, falling short of last year's
total by approximately $13,000.
According to Mary Ann Boyer,
multi-unitexecutivedirectorofthe
Columbia County Cancer Society, technical problems prohibited certain areas in the region
from viewing the telethon.
"We were not reaching some
areas with the cable television,"
Boyer said. MiUville and parts of
Berwick were a few of the areas
unable to tune into the show.
Despite the low contributions,
Boyer said she was very happy
with the telethon.
*1t was wonderful. The talent
was tr em endous and I was p leased
with the overall production,"She
said. Boyer said she is counting on
more donations to come in within
the next few days which will boost
the final tally.
Broadcast live on Channels 10
and 13 from the TV facilities in the
McCormick Human Services Center, the telethon featured local TV

and radio personalities, regional
talent, and taped massages from
national celebrities.
Professor William Acierno, coordinator of the 11-hour show , said
there was no actual goal, however,
the group had hoped to earn at least
$1 more than last year. Acierno also
attributed some of the decline to the
telethon's move completely from
Berwick to the BU campus.

"We couldn 't
have done it without the
students. About 25-30
students put in long
hours today. "
-William Acierno
Last year, Acierno said, the large
portions of the telethon were broadcast from a restaurant in Berwick.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary
this year, the American Cancer
Society is striving to find a cure so it
will not have to celebrate many more,
Acierno explained. One of the major themes stressed was finding a
cure so the society can "go out of
business."

Other themes the telethon focused on were volunteerism and
the survivor. Thoughout the show,
cancer survivors from the Columbia County and surrounding areas shared their experiences with
cancer. Many of the volunteers
also told about their personal
bouts with cancer and explained
why they donate their time to the
cause.
Chairman of the Columbia
Country Cancer Society Wayne
Yorks, who lost his larynx to
cancer 21" years ago, said he has
live 21 good years cancer free.
"Even withcancer, we still have
a future," Yorks said. "The only
way to keep going is to look to the
future. If I can help the people of
the Columbia County, I feel I'm
accomplishing something."
According to William Kelly, vice
president and station manager of
WVIAChannel44, approximately
100 volunteers donated time yesterday as well as days before the
telethon.
"We couldn't have done it without the students,"Acierno added.
"Unfortunately it was only a small
number. About 25-30 students put
in long hours today."

Survey examines campus opinions

Majority would vote republican
by John Risdon
Ne ws Editor
' In a survey of political attitudes
conducted last week by sections of
Basic Social Statistics classes, a total
of 41 percent of students replied that if
they were to vote today, they would
vote for the Bush/Quayle ticket, while
34 percent supported the Dukakis/
Bentsen ticket.
The survey examined a cross section of 324 students, representing
members of each of the university's
three colleges of study. The information was collected between Oct. 25
and Nov. 1.
It revealed that 14 percent were
undecided on which presidential candidate they would vote for as of last
week and 11 percent of the students
would not vote in tomorrow's election.
Student political apathy was reflected as a total of 35 percent surveyed were not registered to vote and
20 percent responded that they were
not registered to vote because they

were not interested at this time.
The issues of greatest student concern were homelessness/poverty, protecting the environment, negotiating
defense treaties with the Russians, the
size of the deficit, restoring student
aid, and abortion.
A total of 19 percent of the students
believed that solving the problems of
homelessness and poverty was the top
student concern.
Protecting the environment was
second at 16 percent followed by 15
percent favoring negotiating nuclear
arms treaties with the Russians. Restoring student aid was the fifth highest student issue, backed by 13 percent. Only 5 percent of the students
surveyed believed that abortion was
an issue of personal concern.
Other questions reflecting student
viewpoints supported the ranking of
issues according to personal concern.
A total of 80 percent were in favor of
cleaning up the environment, even if it
requiressome some sacrifice to industry or the economy.

Some 74 percent were in favor of
the government funding education so
that acollege education is within reach
for everyone who wants one.
Social program increases were favored by 44 percent surveyed, even at
the costof raising taxes. Opposed were
18 percent and 39 percent were undecided.
Defense spending cuts in order to
fund social programs were supported
by 51 percent and opposed by 14 percent with 35 percent surveyed undecided.
Dr. Anne K. Wilson, who instructs
the Social Statistics classes commented
on the results, "When we made up the
survey we picked out four Bush issues
and four Dukakis issues and two which
were neutral at the time.
"It seems that the students are going
to vote for Bush , but feel strongly
towards 'liberal' issues. This represents inconsistency between the candidates and issues supported. I was
surprised that Bush had a seven-point
lead."

Bush battles exhaustion

by David Hoffman

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Clark, N.J., - Almost at the end of the
long campaign, tired from the travel
and uncertainty, Republican presidential nominee George Bush Saturday
attempted to rally his troops from the
East Coast to the heartland, fighting
off his exhaustion with quips and even
some door-to-door vote-seeking of his
own.
Explaining why Bush's rapidly
changing schedule no longer includes
a visit to Fresno in California's Central Valley this weekend, press secretary Sheila Tate quoted Bush as joking, "I didn't want to see those damn
dancing raisins again."
He was referring to the costumed
mascots of the California raisin industry, which appeared at a Sun-Maid
raisin factory Bush visited in
Kingsburg, Calif.,Sept. 14. The Central Valley is a critical swing region in
the state with the largest number of
electoral votes - one where Bush has
fervently courted the agriculture industry.
Barbara Bush , flying on the chartered plane carrying the media this
morning, said the Bush entourage is
struggling with exhaustion. "We are
all very tired," she said. "Tired of she began, then paused - "and tired."
At Bush's campaign headquarters
in Washington, exhausted aides
breathed sighs of relief Saturday, saying overnightpollingindicated the vice
president's lead was holding steady
and improving in some critical states,
such as Ohio and New Jersey. Campaign chairman James A. Baker III
acknowledged that the race "may have
narrowed a little bit" in recent days,

but said that was occurring in traditionally Democratic states that Democratic nominee Michael S. Dukakis
should have locked up long ago.
Tate said Friday's schedule, from
the East to the Midwest and back to the
East again, had been especially arduous for Bush. She said the schedule
was being trimmed back, but Bush
officials in Washington disputed that.
"There is some desire not to overschedule him ," she said. "The whole
thing is just a little too much. He was
just feeling real tired yesterday. If you
schedule smart, you don 't have to
schedule heavy."
Bush , however, told reporters the
opposite - that he was going ahead full
steam. He said there were no lastminute schedule changes, just "finetuning" for tactical reasons.
"I prefer to leave these technical
questions on scheduling and polls to
our experts," he said, vowing not to
"lighten up."
Asked whether he is the chief strategist, Bush grinned and joked: "No.
That's one of the reasons we're doing
reasonably well."
Earlier, visiting a sign-painting effort by 11 children at Bush-Quayle
headquarters here, Bush was asked to
cross off day No. 4 on the countdown
calendar. He hesitated. "Let's see, I
got to put a big X through it, that
means," and he paused again, as if
counting the days backward from the
election.
"Is this Saturday or Sunday?" he
asked. "Wait, I got to figure this out I
made a mistake yesterday."
(Bush Friday vowed to fight right
down to the wire - "Nov. 4.")
Finally,Bush crossed of f Day No. 4 on

the calendar.
The nominee, sticking with a frontrunner's strategy of trying to fire up
his supportersduring the critical weekend before the election, also spent
time today on his hands and knees.
He got down to sign one of the handpainted posters. Barbara Bush urged
him to sign them all.
"Once you start, you can't stop,"
she said.
Bushcomphed .crawlingaroundlike
one of the schoolchildren who painted
the signs.
"That's a beauty," he said.
"These homemade ones are much
better," he added, noting that one boy

Bloomsburg students receive swiss cheese education

To the Editor
I agree with Ms. D'Aries' views
expressed in her letter to the editor on
Nov. 3. It is time we stood up and
spoke out.
Whether the administration likes it
or not, we are consumers, and as
consumers, we have the right to object
to goods when they are shoddy, illmade, or falsely advertised.
As a student who intends to go on to
graduate school, I am dismayed at my
lack of knowledge in my chosen field.
And while I admit, Harry, the flowers
are pretty, the new carpet is soft , and
it 's nice that the sidewalk in fron t of
McCormick was dug up and re-laid
three times last winter, I personally
would have preferred to have courses
which are generally offered only once

every two or three years available on
a yearly basis.
But I understand that the flower
beds are more important lhan hiring
additional faculty or speeding up the
approval process on relevant new
courses. After all , parents don 't see
classes.
Hence, as I apply to Harvard and
other highfalutin institutions, I know
my education looks like a slice of
swiss cheese, translucent and full of
holes. And although I attempt to
compensateby extensive supplemental
reading,itbarely equates with in-depth
classroom discussions led by one of
the many thoug ht-provoking
professors we are lucky to employ.
So.if Harvard does casta benevolent
eye upon my humble acaccmic

beginnings , I'll be there a year or more
longer than most of my peers,
transforming swiss into solid sharp
cheddar. But hey, what do I,a40-yearold single parent, care if it takes me
longer than average to earn a Ph. D?
Meanwhile, I'll be wondering how
things arc progressing at my alma
mater. Will the administration actually
enact the high ideal s stated in the
student handbook? Will they, in the
interest of community service, stop
the department power moguls and
upper-level "who 's the boss" games?
Will students at Bloomsburg learn
how to grasp a wide range of
knowledge and, better still, use what
they have gained as a foundation for
discernment and rational judgem ent
based on logical thought? Will the

young and old who sit in these buildings
come lo value the principles of a crosscultural perspective and a concerned
mind?
Will the adminstration (who must
instigate and set the tone for change)
make the degrees we earn more
meaning ful than the proverbial
stamped ticket, leading to a mindless
job and a mindless following of the
preva lent consumer mentality
expressed by slick Fifth Avenue
advertising?
I wonder. It 's up to you , Harry. It 's
your choice if (after all is said and
done and you are long gone), the
university 's annuals record you as the
president who planted flower beds
along the parking lots, or whether
you 're considered responsible for

elevating the university '? educational
and intellectual standards.
If you prefer the former , why not
plant more ivy—that would create the
proper illusion .
If the latter is more appealing, you
might want to reconsider the Young
Democrats issue. For a bipartisan
atmosphere is, after all , an "Amcrican "
ideal , one our fore-fathers believed
would foster freedom of thoug ht
choice, for each individual.
You sec, the general idea was to
ensure that no one person , political
party, or rcl igious sectcould ever usurp
the right of the individual to have
access to a full range of information ,
thereby insuring that the individual
could makean indcpendcntjudgemcnl
on any given issue.

About now , some of you might be
play ing with the idea that I'm some
sort of crazy left-wing liberal. But
consider this: When a citizen takes the
time to up hold the rights and ideology
set forth in the 200-year-old plus
Constitution of the United States, that
makes him traditional, conservative,
and perhaps even status quo.
And when a student points out to the
administration that they should be
concerned with the availability of
knowledge and bipartisan thought, it
should trigger some recognition to the
effect that students prefer not to be
regarded as sheep waiting to be led to
a holding pen.
Sincerely
C.S. Clare

Leadership needs to be p roven
LA. Times-Washinton Post Service

The 1988 presidential campaign
comes down to a question of leadership.
Not competence, not ideology, but
leadersh ip. How a president connects
wi th the American people and how the
American people feel about his
judgment , his values, his character,
his vision of the future, his ability to
guide and inspire this noblestof nations
—that is what the 1988 election is
about.
On the day after , all the maneuvers
of the candidates and their managers
will be subject to the historical
revisionism that onl y final results
permit. Then it will be the task of
George Bush or Michael Dukakis to
take charge in a world of turbulence.
Until Uicn , in thislastpregnantmoment
of the cafnpaign , the decision still lies
widi the American people.
They wi 11not be choosing the perfect
model of a president, but between two
men
whose
strengths
and
imperfections have been vividly
exposed during the past four months.
The most dishearteningevent of this
political year was Bush's selection of
Indiana Sen. Dan Quayle as his
Republican running mate. If a voter is
looking for a reason to reject Bush ,
this is it.
The GOP standard-bearer had any
number of running mates available
who were eminentiy presidential,
which is what is needed in a vice
president. Instead he chose a senator
of limited experience, a man with little
depth or intellect.
Given this same opportunity,
Dukakis selected Texas Sen. Lloyd
Bentsen. Of course he did so in hopes
of winning Texas for the Democratic

Party. But the fact that Bentsen is rated
higher than any of the other threemen
on the national tickets confirms the
wisdom of Dukakis' choice _ and the
appeal of a conservative Democrat.
Against this singular blunder by
Bush stands the ineptness, insularity
and incoherence of the Dukakis
campaign. "Well, look, you 've got to
find your rhythm , youknow,"Dukakis
said as the final week began. This
admission hardly reflects well on a
three-termgovernor who had two years
on the hustings to contemplate his
presidential message. Instead of
welcoming the liberal tradition of his
party, and defining it to reflect his own
doctrines, he allowed himself to be
intimidatedby conservative taunts into
running away from his own beliefs.
In our view, the two candidates are
morecentristthan the highly polarized
mood that now prevails. They inherit a
nation that has been taught to be more
distrustful of government, more selfcentered in its pursuit of wealth and
less concerned about the environment
it will leave to future generations.
America at the end of the 20th century
is indeed the success story that turns
Ronald Reagan misty-voiced.
The first requirement for the next
president will be to deal with budget
and trade deficits piled up by the
Reagan administration . Bush has
constricted his future course of action
(or his credibility) by asserting he will
never raise taxes. Dukakis has been
only slightly more candid about the
need to bring the nation 's consumption
more in line with its productivity .
For many of Ihe reasons that have
denied Dukakis a warm rapport with
the electorate, he probably would be

more ready than Bush to impose
austerity. But his problem would be
Democratic constituencies demanding
larger government social spendingthan
the budget will permit.
Voters therefore have to ask which
candidate would be able to rein in the
Pentagon and yet maintain American
security interests worldwide. While
Mr. Dukakis ends the campaign in a
better position to fight the deficit , Mr.
Bush continues to hold the edge in
international diplomacy. He has fewer
illusions than his opponent about what
goads the Soviet Union toward a less
expansionist path , even in the
Gorbachev era. His party has notjoined
the Democrats in embracing
protectionism and all the xenophobia
it connotes.
As this campaign ends, it is evident
the public is unenthused about either
candidate and unhappy with the TVoriented tactics of both political parties.
To this extent, the leadership of the
next president is already crimped.
Nonetheless, both Dukakis and Bush
have the potential to rise to presidential
responsibilities.
Dukakis, late in the campaign, has
displayed some welcome flexibility to
go with his stubborn singlemindedness. Bush has shown a
toughness that has eliminated the
"wimp" factor and demonstrated he
can be a man of purpose. In many
ways, however, presidents are like new
Supreme Court justices.
They come to their jobs with resumes,
ideologies and programs, but there is
no way either they or the voters know
how they will perform under pressure.
Their leadership remains to be
confirmed.

Pill would make abortion a private act

BOSTON—In my town, there is a
women 's health clinic. To go there,
whether you need a papsmear or
pregnancy counseling, you have to
run a gauntlet of anti-abortion
picketers.
I have something in common with
that crew. I would also like to close
down the abortion business of that
clinic, send their vaccum aspirators
and surgical tools to some museum of
medical history.
In my fantasty, the abortions would
be phasedoutbecauseevery pregnancy
was a welcome one. But in the real
world of imperfect and sometimes
desperate human experience, I put my
hopes on a new pill to replace the
surgery. The pill called RU-486.
These are two distinct ways to close
an abortion clinic. Make it illegal or
make it unnecessary. And right now
they are in a conflict that is generating
extraordinary heat.
In the course of one dramatic day
last week, the pill RU-486 was abruptly
taken off the world market by its
European drug maker. Roussel-Uclaf
did this under intense pressure from
anti-abortion groups. The very next
day, it was ordered back on the market
by theFrench government Theofficial
called it the moral property of the
women of France.
On the day after that, in the United
States, pro-lifers by the hundreds
targeted clinics all over the country in
a planned protest against abortion.

If the international conflict over the
pill was explosive, if the sidewalk
demonstrations in America were
especially intense, it is no wonder.
The abortion debate is no w in a new
and climactic phase of conflict ,
revolving around technology and law.
Can a law stop the technology from
spreading? Can the technology make
an end run around any law?
RU-486 and its look-alike drugs
make abortion as private as a
prescription pad, as personal as
swallowingapill.Forthisreason, Faye
Wattleton , the president of Planned
Parenthood, says: 'The right-to-lifers
are fighting the last gasp. If thesedrugs
get to the market it is really all over."
Chemically, this pill prevents the
cells in the lining of the uterus from
getting progesterone.
Without progesterone the wall of
the uterus breaks down just the way it
does for menstruation. RU-486 can
prevent a fertilized egg from ever
implanting in the uterus, or it can ensure
that an implanting egg sloughs off.
And it can do this in the earliest
days and weeks of pregnancy, before a
surgical abortion is possible, before a
fetus is even formed.
In short, the drug makes abortion
easier, safer, less traumatic, less
expensive. To some, there is good and
bad news buried in that simplicity:
RU-486 could also increase the
number of women using abortion as
birth control.

B ut the doctors who created a storm
of protest over the brief banning of
RU-486, reminded the world that
200, 000 women die every year from
botched abortions in countries where
doctors are few and facilities are far
between.
In addition , this pill may be used in
treating breast cancer and ectopic
pregnancies.
But today, RU-486 is available in
the United States. The large American
drug companies that aren 't intimidated
by "controversy" are terrified by
liability suits. Anything to do with
reproduction sends them skittering.
Inevitably though , a small drug
company will ask to market this drug.
When that happens, we will see the
last major battle over reproductive
rights.
This fall , almost against the
candidates' will, abortion became a
campaign issue. In the aftermath of the
first debate, we learned the Bush way
to close an abortion clinic: by making
criminals out of doctors, though not
their female "victims."
What would be the effect of the new
technologyon this old argument? Once
the abortion pill is available in the
black market,could we call the woman
who buys and takes these pills a
"victim" or would she be a criminal?
What of the mother who smuggles a
pill in to that 12-year-old? What of the
12-year-old?

Precious hours left for Dukakis
by T.R. Reid

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Lansing, Mich. — The hours have
dwindled down to a precious few. And
Democratic nominee Michael S.
Dukakis, determined to squeeze every
last drop of campaigning out of the
time he has left , came running - not
jogging, but running - across a rain
swept tarmac here in his black baseball
jacket to greet several hundred hearty
souls who had waited two hours in the
chilling drizzle just to see him.
"Three days to go - so much to do!''
the chipper underdog shouted to the
roaring crowd. And then he went
running - not jogging, but running - off
again, plunging ahead on a whirlwind
final weekend of cross-country
campaigning that seems to be driven
by three rules: No media market is too
small, no airplane trip is too long, and
no polling gap is too great.
Back at headquarters in Boston ,
Dukakis campaign staff seems
suffused in gloom and the internal
backbiting is in full swing. But on the
Boeing 737 campaign jet, spirits are
sky-high and the constant talk is of an
upset. The over-extended candidate
has lost his voice but he has found a
message. When he croaks out his
trademarkpledge- "V m on your side''
- his audiences thunder tiieir approval.
Dukakis' endgame schedule is in a
state of constant revision as the
candidate triesto shoehorn in one more

stop. Saturday found him in Chicago,
Detroit, and Denver - but also Rock
Island , 111., Lansing, Mich., and
McAllen,Texas. The tentative itinerary
for Monday takes the candidate on an
around-the-clock trek across the
breadth of the nation, with a midwa y
rally in Des Moines penciled in for
3:30 a.m. on Election Day.
At the center of it all is the hyperenergized Dukakis, no longer the
cerebral champion of competent
management but rather a happy liberal
warrior who clearly believes that he
can still win the election, polls or no
polls.
"Mr. Bush is coasting, and we're
fighting," Dukakis said here in a
mocking singsong. "He's slipping, and

*

"" '*'

we're surging."
The political experts might call it
whistling in the dark, but the ordinary
people showing up by the thousands at
every Dukakis stop this weekend seem
to feel differently. They jam sardinestyle into ihe union halls and school
gyms and airportwaitingrooms where
rallies are scheduled, carrying tired
toddlers who stare wide-eyed at the
encircling hullabaloo. And they insist
defiantly lo any inquisitive reporter
that Dukakis can win.
"He's going to win it, I'm telling
you ,'' argued Larry Brand as he batted
away a cascade of falling balloons at
the end of Dukakis' triumphant
appearance in Rock Island, 111., this
morning.

BU students get 'selectrocuted* at Cheers

by Bridget Sullivan
Features Editor
About 200 Bloomsburg University
students got "sclectrocuted" last
Thursday ni ght at Cheers in Kehr
Union .
It wasn 't a bomb, and it didn 't hurt.
As a matter of fact, everyone
seemed to enjoy themselves quite
thoroughly.
If you were daring enough to participate in "Sclcctrocution ," this is
what happened: as you entered the
third floor of the Union , you received
a name tag wilh two initials on it. (To
prevent repeti tion , however, onl y one
person of each gender received agiven
combination of initials , meaning that
your name tag didn 't necessaril y have
your real , or requested , initials.)
Then you were given a scorccard .
On tin's card, you wrote down the
initials of five members of the opposite sex you found most attractive.

You found out what that was for later.
As tht-DJ 's from WBUQ spinncd
the tunes , you danced the ni ght away,
jusl like at any oihcr Cheers dance
party, onl y this time you were checking out everyone 's initials.
If you found someone's initial s to
be particularl y pleasing, you could
send that person a message.
All you had to do was write out a
message on a little card , and drop it in
the box on a table where a person was
typ ing furiously away on a computer
keyboard. The message would be
typed in , and then appear on a big light
board that was in the corner of the
dance floor.
The LED display board looked ju st
like the one that is in the Union , and
the "initials" you found interesting
saw what you wanted to say — in big
red lights.
Everyone else got to read them , too,
but that kept things exciting. You

wound up dancing and looking at the
board at the same time.
It tru ly was "High Tech Flirtation "
at its finest.
At 11:30 p.m., the "Most Attractive
Males and Females" were announced.
These people were determined by the
tally ing of the scorecards everyone
filled out during the evening. Those
individuals who received the most
"votes" were named as the Most Attractive Male and Female.
Every person that turned in a scorccard received a printout of all the
"initials " who put him or her down on
their scorccard , which let people find
out who was attracted to them during
the course of the evening.
The Most Attractive Male, Albert
Caldcron , saysofhis "Sclcctrocution "
experience, "I loved it. I didn 't think it
would go good at first — in the beginning of the night , it was empty, then it
started hopping... They should have it

next semester ... they should have it
every semester."
Most of the students asked agreed
with Caleron 's comments.
Debbie Marconi thinks "Sclectrocution " is "an inspiring adventure for
those who arc under 21," while Tisa
McDonald complains , "They 're
aren 't enough guys here."
But 'McDonald docs think BU
should be "Sclectrocuted" again , and
Steve Mazur agrees.
According to Mazur, the evening
was "very entertaining, very relaxed
and a lot of fun."
Carol ynn Witts was "surprised at
how crowded it is," but she does feel it
should happen again. Tony Suma,
who was working at Cheers the night
everyone was "Selcctrocuted" even
claims he had a "fun time."
Phil Cable adds, "This is the firs t
time I' ve been to Cheers. I had an
awesome time — the sound was

f

wonderful and the atmosphere was
great."
Most Attractive Female Susan
Walker says, "It was a lot of fun. I've
never seen this done before. " Walker
also adds with a laugh , "It's a really
good way to flirt. "
The committees responsible for
bring "Sclcctrocution" to BU were the
Special Events Committee , the
Cheers Hospitality Committee and the
Program Board .
Special Events Committee Chairperson Dave Wargo was the first to
learn anything about "Sclcctrocution."
Last April, he saw an ad in a newspaper about "Sclcctrocution ," and
after reading a few reviews and many
people recommending the event , he
realized it might be a good idea for
Cheers.
He was right. As chairperson for the
Special Events Committee this year ,

one of Wargo 's goals was to "find the
most novel entertainment ... a wide
variety of entertainment."
And , he says, "We'll definitely have
it back next semester."
Cheers Hospitality Committee
Chairperson Eric Walker is also "very
happy with the way [Cheers] has progressed in the last two years."
John Ginner , president of Program
Board , was "very happy [with the
turnout] ... considering it's a new
thing."
Ginner says , "Cheers is growing.
Things have changed — two years
ago, this was nothing."
Now Cheers is one of the more
popular things lo do on campus every
Thursday night.
Wargo, and all those who helped
BU get "selcctrocuted ," would also
like to "thank the students of
Bloomsburg for making 'Selectrocution ' a success."

Hey, let's all go Toobin ' Selectrocution 'first made

by Douglas Rapson
Games Expert
If you haven ' t introduced yourself
to Bit " and Jet , you really should.
They 're the Toobin ' guys and they
really arc too cool.
Incase you haven 't played Toobin '
in the BU games room , let's take a
quick look at ill is hi ghly cntcriaining
game.
As I said before , Bif and Jet are two
hi ghl y cool dudes. And just like the
rest of us, they 've got their share of
problems. All these two guys wanted
was a relaxing time for toobin '.
But no sooner than they hopped in
their inncrlubcs , the trouble began.
Now these poor guys have got to
scoop up all the cans that they can find ,
because they'll need 'cm to bop the
baddies.
Bif and Jet have five simple controllers that help you guide them through
Kehr Union

(

the waters. Five buttons that paddle
them forward , backward , turn them
around and shoot those cans.
While they explore new terri tory,
Bif and Jet can scoop up treasures.
Some of these are floating chests.
These simply give the guys more
points.
But many of the handy floating
prizes can aid Bif and Jet in their quest.
The beach balls add additional speed
to our heroes and allow them to travel
about with greater case. There are also
patches for the guys ' tubes. These help
them stay afloat longer(in other
words, they are extra lives).
However, floating treasure chests
are hot the onl y way to earn points for
our video heroes. The guys can also hit
objects with their cans. This will not
only get the guys some points but may
also keep them out of perilous positions. Man y a tuber has been saved

There was one more perso n responsible f o r bringing "Sclcctrocution " to Bloomsburg. His name
is BrianSmith.Representing the East Coastfranchise,the largest territory of "Selectrocution,"Smith
helps many places — Delaware to Rhode Island, and asf a r west as Buffalo , New York, — become
"Selcctrocuted."
But how did it all start?
A Ne w York stockbroker,JeffAdylette , was tired of the way the bar scene operated. Smith says, "He
thought there was a poor signals thing in bars — there was nothing to get ii started," especially for
shy individuals.
So, Adylctte began "Selectrocution"first by going into bars, and giving everyone cards and name
tags with initials,as is still done with the modern version of his "High Tech Flirtation." He would tell
people to write down messages to individuals they were attracted to, andAdylette himself would take
the messages from table to table.
He later got the idea to use an LED board and a computer to send the messages, copyrighted the
idea ,and then incorporated the scorccard. The initialsfrom each scorccardare fed into the computer,
which cross-matches the information. Then each person knows who (by their initials) was attracted
to him or her during the evening.
However , "Selectrocution "did not become popular overnight. According to Smith, "It tookawhile
to get started... it was new,andpeople didn't want to risk something new." But, he says, "Once they
got in there," things just took off. Today, the company is a nationwidefranchise that even serves
Puerto Rico, and has a contract with the Mariott and Sheraton corporations.
Smith himself got into "Selectrocution" five years ago through a f riend named Bruno, who
managed a bar in Wildwood, NJ. "Selectrocution " was there, and Bruno really seemed to like the
idea,so he bought afranchise for this area. Bruno asked Smith to help him out, but after a while, the
travelling was too much for Smith, so he left.
Bruno didn 't give up, though, and soon called Smith back to help again because his territory had
become so large.Since then,Smith claims,their territory "has been growing at an unbelieveable rate."
Adve rtising in trade papers and sending out videos of "Selectrocution " has helped them gain some
publicity. Getting into the college scene was accomplished by going to Bruno 's alma mater,
Monmouth College in New Jersey. He had been activities director during his career there. Visitors
from other schools who had been "selectrocuted" helped spread the word about "Selectrocution."
"Colleges are a lot of f u n ," Smith says, "because kids aren 't so reluctant to do it as pe ople in bars.
They 're more open-minded."
The best thing about "Selectrocution," according to Smith, is that "it's a good ice-breaker ...for
example,a guy mightsend outmessages to 20 different girls here,butataparty, he mighttalk to three "
Through "Selectrocution,"he adds, "You can make a pass at someone without getting slapped in
the face or shot down."
An interesting true story — with empahsis on true ,added by Smith -proving that "Selectrocution"
is agreat way to meetpeople,is that its inventor,JeffAdylette ,met his wife through "Selectrocution. "

Reggae band S.W.A.M.M.R
brings its unique beat to BU
Sound, Wisdom , and Many Musical
Powers is not only an excellent description of this group 's vibe, but is
also what S.W.A.M.P..P. stands for
literally and spiritually. The band who
took this acronym for its name is more
than just a group of guys who have a
common interest in reggae music.
Behind their musical talents lies a
concept based upon their spiritual
beliefs. S.W.A.M.M.P. describes
their music as a combination of AfroJamaican rhythms, which is something one cannont merely write musically, but which has to be felt from the
heart. They call their style of reggae a
heartbeat music, which is not only for
dancing, but also for the mind. This
feeling comes across loud and clear in
the group 's live performance of their
distinctive blend of throbbing reggae
rhythms, roots and rock with a strong
Caribbean seasoning.
The band brings their authentic
reggae sound from Jamaica, where
they were one of the most followed
and reespected bands at Jamaican
clubs and resorts in and aroundNegril ,
Ocho Rios, and Montego Bay. Their
popularity and musical proficiency
earned them gigs with reggae giants

such as Third World and Bob Marley
and the Wallers. Now based in Pittsburgh , the band has become quite
popular on the college and nightclub
circuit on the East Coast and in the
Midwest.
S.W.A.M.M.P.'s musical message
is chanted out by Rastafarians. Many
of their lyrics reflectthebasic tenets of
Rastafari, but what is communicated
to the audience is that this group is
socially, politically and spirituall y
aware. Some say the music is soothing; some say it is political; ' some say
it is controversial, but the band says it
is basically the roots music from Jamaica.
With a showmanship derived from

New shop deals cards and comics

Comic book, sports, entertainment legends are at home in this store, recently opened in downtown Bloomsburg.

Superman, Marilyn Monroe, Babe
Ruth: figures such as these are the
business of Heros and Legends,
which opened in Bloomsburg last
week.
" We deal in anything having to do
with a hero or legend," Ron Martin
said, "whether that is fantasy, sports
or entertainment. We're going more
into sports merchandise."
But Heros and Legends deals
mainly in comic books. They receive
40 to 70 comic books a week, for a
total of roughly 350 different titles a
month . A selection of nearly 60,000
back issues is available. Comic collecting supplies like storage boxes
and protective plastic bags and other

comic related items. In the last several years the audience for comic
books h as been dominated by college
students and people in their twenties.
Martin says comic books have an
even wider appeal. " You should see
the people in their forties and fifties
who come in here," he said.
Access to that audience is what
prompted Martin and his partner,
Sam Chairge, to open a branch of
their business in Bloomsburg. "We
felt there is a need that wasn 't being
served. With a large university here
we thought it would pull in a lot of
people and serve the three city area of
Bloomsburg, Danv|Jle and Berwick,"
Martin said.
The new store is an extension of
two successful businesses in WilkesBarre and Scranton.

Decision 88-the year of poll proliferation
L.A Times-Washington Post Service
By Nancy J. Schwerzler
The 1988 presidential campaign
season may be recorded as a year of
poll proliferation. Never have so
many pollsters asked so many
questions so often. And the uses and
misuses of polls may be altering the
nation 's political debate.
With more polls being conducted,
there has been an increased emphasis
in poll results in news coverage of Ihe
campaign, according to independent
analysts, and polls have themselves
become an issue.
Democrat Michael S. Dukakis,
trailing Republican George Bush in
most opinion surveys, complained
that "polls drive the process" after he
was forced to respond for days to one
poll that put him much farther behind
than in other surveys. But thatpollhas
subsequently been dismissed as
flawed by most political and polling
experts.
While polling is generally reliable if
conducted carefully, polling by
nature an inexact science. But even
accurate poll data can be
misinterpreted , or given undue
emphasis, and some analysts believe
that can alter the choices voters make.
This year, there have been as many as
150 polls in the general presidential
campaign and still more private
polling by the candidates , in
comparision with just 10 national
polls 10 years ago, according to
Michael Traugott, senior project
director for the Gallup organization.
"There are too many polls, too much
poll reporting; it 's become too
inportant in the dynamics of the
campaign ," said Cliff Zukin ,
professor of political science and
director of the Center for Public
Interest Polling at Rugters
University. Zukin not only studies the

"Polls are being used by journalists
in 1988 in a way that they have been
used before," said Marvin Kalb, the
former television network news
correspondent. Kalb is now director
of the Joan Shorenstein Barone
Center on the Press, Politics and
Public Policy at Harvard University.
"This year, for the first time, major
newspapers ... are using polls
regularly on the front page and
polling data regularly as a staple of
the news stories," Kalb said. The
reliance on polls seems to be a sign of
"laziness and a substitution for "oldfashioned Iegwork" by reporters, he
said.
Even those being polled, the voters,
are concerned with the effect of
polling. A recent Gallup survey for
the Times-Mirror company, which
owns The Sun and other newspapers,
found that 45 percent of those polled
thought coverage of who is ahead in

"You are in effect participating in
the emotional disenfranchisemenet
of the American people, you are robbing them of the excitement' of the
contest, Kalb said, and voters are
"turned off by the notion of preknowledge ... of what they are going
to do."
There is some evidence that the
"it's over"impression may alter voter
toumout or influence some voters'
choices.
Michael Delli Carpini,professor of
political science at Barnard Coin
New York , studied the 1980
presidential race when the television
networks, based on exit polling,
declared RonaM Reagan the winner

while the voting booths were still
open on the West Coast. He
concluded there was a shortfall in
West Coast state voter turnout of
about two to three percentage points,
although other researchers conclude
no impact or ' as much as 10
percentage points.
There is also another factor, the
bandwagon effect or, in a theory of
research in Germany, "the Spiral of
Silence," Delli Carpini said.
At the end of the election season,
there is "a surge toward the pert
people predicted would win ,"
especially among previousl y
undecided voters.
"Their tendency is to move in the
direction of the consensus," Delli
Carpini said.
But awareness of poll standings does
not seem to alter the basic vote.
Recentpolls have shown that as many
as 70 percent of the respondents think
that Bush will win, but the same
voters split their own preferences
between Dukakis and Bush at
nowhere near that rate.

Telethon
helps f i ght
smoking

by Dave Marra
Staff Writer
At the American Cancer Society
Telethon of Hope, broadcast this
past weekenda presentation detailing the Great American Smokeout
was given by The Smoking
Dragon ( a symbol of the bad
"dragon breath" of smokers),
Roger Rabbit, and two senior
community health nursing students, Nadine Kowalsky and Debbie Reed.
On Thursday, November 17th,
the day of The Great American
Smokeout, all American smokers
are urged to give up smoking for
the entire day.
The Student Nursing Association will sponsor events to help
smokers kick the habit. Education
booths in the McCormick Center
and the Kehr Union will educate
smokers about the dangers of
smoking.
Also, "survival kits", containing helpful tips on how to stop
smoking, carrot sticks, popcorn
and pretzels to stop the urge to light
up will be made available to
smokers.
An"Adopt-A-Smoker"program
shall be initiated. In this program, a
caring non-smoker will "adopt" a
smoking friend for the day to encourage the smoker to refrain
from cigarettes, and the smoker
will be able to turn to this friend
should they be tempted.
An open coffin will be set up in
the Kehr Union, into which all
smokers will be asked to toss their
cigarettes. To offer realistic,
straightforward, and honest approach, this should be an effective
method to get people to stop their
deadly habit.

Too Much Football for plot

BU Soccer loses in overtime

by Jamie Calkin
Staff Writer
The Bloomsburg men's soccer team
finished out the 1988 season on Saturday with a loss to the Division I, University of Delaware.
The Huskies were defeated in overtim e
by a score of 2-1.
With the advantage of the wind at

their backs, BU dominated the first
half of play. Off a pass from John
Marshall , Jack Milligan knocked in
his last goal of the season midway
through the first half.
The second half of the game was
even more physical than the first, as
the momentum switched to Delaware.
The score remained 1-0 until the last

minute of regulation time. After continuous pressure on BU's goalie, Delaware tied up the game.
The Delaware Blue Hens kept up the
pressure through the beginning minutes of overtime and were rewarded
with the winning goal.
It was scored halfway through the
first overtime.

Coach 's Corner:

L.A. Times
Washington Post Service
"Everybody ' s All-American "
eventuall y shapes into a pretty good fil
m.'Itis the first hour that tires, and that
may be because director Taylor
Hackford ("White Nights") gives us
too much football.
Yes, the movie is about a football
player, but Hackford apparently ha s
not learned that if you do a film about
football , you should spend very little
time on the field. It's the same with
baseball and basketball movies. If you
spend too much time with the game,
you lose the audience, and that's what
happens during the first half of
"Everybody 's All-American."
The second half is much better
because there is less football and bee
ausc one of the princi pal characters
has disappeared. He is the very close
friend of the hero, a co-player, and
when he's around , the film plays like
so much locker-room time.
When he leaves, "Everybody's AllAmerican " (Rated "R") gets down to
Ihe business of plot, and it 's a rather
good one. Dennis Quaid plays the lead,
an AU-Amcrican football hero. He is
married to Babs Rogers, the campus
queen, and together this golden couple
looks forward to a golden fulure.
Life, however, doesn 't always turn
out the way we hope it will , and b cfore
long Gav in Grey (Quaid) realizes that
he has stayed too long on the field.
He's very wise forhisagc.Heknows
that he will be feted so long as he can
make those touchdowns. He also
knows that life is never what we expect
it will be. His trouble is that he pays

himself no mind. Instead, he listens to
his heart and continues to play until he
reaches that point when he is no longer
wanted.This is about the same timehe
leams that his business associate has
squandered all his money, so he and
his famiiy are penniless.
However, he still has the name. He
is still "The Gray Ghost," and he can
trade on that, which he does. He
becomes part owner of a restaurant,
but the arrangement is humiliating to
him. He is required to fraternize with
the patrons. He has become a prisoner
of his own legend, and he doesn't
know how to cope with the situation .
Fortunately, he has a wife who adores
him , but will he realize this i n time to

Football Seniors

Coaching f ootball not you r typica l nine to f ivej ob

by Dave Sauter
Staffwriter
The job as head football coach of a
university is more than just an August
through November job. Just ask
Bloomsburg's head coach , Pete
Adrian, who is wrapping up his third
year at the helm of the Huskies. Not
many people realize it's a job that runs
August through June, taking up huge
amounts of time.
"When we start pre-season camp in
August,"Adrian said,"It's seven day's
a week and our average work=week~h?
about 85-90 hours per week. We're
really involvedin breaking down films,
and of course work with a group of
about 100 kids and there's a lot of
things that go on there. Everything
you can think of we have to do."
As the regular season gets under
way, the long work weeks continue.
Adrian explains,"It takes a lot of time
to get your game plans right. If you
have three game films to break down,
that in itself takes about five hours a
game. So there's 15 hours of work you
have to do before you can even get into
talking about how you are going to
stop this opponent or how you are
going to attack this opponent. Then of
course you have to go through organization,practices,and this type of stuff."
Adrian continues,"Now, while all
that is going on , we are also recruiting.
Recruiting never stops. We have to
send out mailers, get on the phone, and
get recruits to come in and visit us.
"After the season is over, recruiUng
becomes a full-time job. Basically,
we'll have between 200 and 300 athletes visit the campus with their families. That's what you have to do. you
have to get a lot of kids to come in and
see your facility, meet their parents,

and let them see the university . The
school really has an excellent academicrcputation , and thatreall y helps.
We try to sell that as our big selling
point."
"That's a lot of time. First of all you
have to go out on the road and you
have to go to a lot of high schools to
see a lot of kids. You have to attend a
lot of dinners and be in tl.e families '
homes a lot. When you come home
you have to make a lot of phone calls
and keep in touch , because all of your
c^rx5sitionsis-doing*esame-rlTinfrAir
of this really runs the entire months of
December, January, February, and
March."
Recruiting, however, is not all
Adrian is doing those four months, as
he further explained.
"When school come back to start,
(after Christmas), we start our offseason program up which is five days
a week with agilities, weight-lifting,
and working with about a hundred
kids. So now you're doing that along
with your recruiting at the same time.
Our work-week then usually runs about
six days a week, about 60-80 hours a
week. You have to work Saturdays,
and sometimes on Sundays. There's
no such thing as coming in at 8:30 a.m.
and leaving at 4 p.m., it's usually 6:30
a.m. to 7 p.m.. Then you have to make
phone calls every night to your prospects.That really goes right on through.
just about the time we finish up the
recruiting aspect, we start running the
spring football practice.
"This practice usually runs through
to three and one-half weeks of regular
practice six days a week. When that 's
over with we have to finish up with
school which is roughly two or three
more weeks to go. Then we have to do

our spring recruiting, which again you
start from the cream from the nexl
year's class and that takes up to and
including the month of May."
The year, though , is still not over for
Adrian , as there is yet more work to
do.
"We have to do a lot of work then,
that we call football work, by breaking
down our own films-what we did well
and what we didn 't do well-which
takes a lot of time. Then we study our
opponents. We
always like to start
_
^ on our first three or four
wOTkirrg
opponents for next year. At the beginning we get films in from different
places, for example the MillersvilleWest Chester game, and we take time
to study that. Maybe we can steal
something from them that worked
good, whether it be on offense or defense, which is a very common practice among the coaching profession."
"When all that's finished up, usually about the second week of June, we
get to take our vacations.When school
is out, our time slows down, and we
get to be like regular human beings.
Then it starts right back up again in
August.
With the long hours the job entails,
it takes a special kind of family to keep
pulled together, the type that Adrian
realizes he is lucky to have."
He said,"It's tough. There's a very
high divorce rate in this business. You
have to have a wife and family that
really likes athletics, especially the
sport you're in. If not,you 're in trouble.
I've been very fortunate because I met
my wife, Chris, in college and we've
gone through everything together. She
just understands that during the season, you 're a stranger. But we have
what we call quality time. We do an

Playoff hopes lost as Indiana
(Pa.) rolls to a 32-7 victory

The Bloomsburg field hockey team
advanced to the next round of the
NCAA Division III national field
hockey tournament wilh wins over
Calvin and Lebanon Valley by scores
of 7-0 and 2-0 respectively.
The Huskies dominated their opponents all weekend and played what
head coach Jan Hutchinson called the
best hockey that Bloomsburg has
played all year.
"We played top hockey all weekend ," said Hutchinson. "That tells me
that our players are playing with the
right mental attitude."
On Saturday, the Huskies advanced
to the next round by dominating Lebanon Valley and winning 2-0.
Bloomsburg outshot Lebanon Valley
45-8 and had 21 corners to Lebanon 's
four.
Sharon Reilly opened the scoring
for Bloomsburg at the 33:01 mark of
the first half to give the Huskies a 1-0
lead.
Cindy Hurst scored at 30:18 of the
second half to give Bloomsburg insurance and made the score 2-0.

On Friday, Bloomsburg destroyed
Calvin by a score of 7-0 in the opening
game.
Reilly tied a school record with four
goals in the Huskies ' victory.
Bloomsburg outshot Calvin 52-6
•and had an advantage in corners with
22 corners to Calvins ' five.
The two victories now gives
Bloomsburg a 21-1-1 record and advances them to the next round of the
national tournament. The Huskies
will play Cortland this coming Friday
at Trenton State. Trenton State a will
also play Salisbury State.
Since Trenton State 's field is an
astroturf field , the Huskies will practice this week at Wilkes Barre. Playing
on the turf does not bother Hutchinson. "The kids are really looking forward to it. On the turf you get true
bounces and it favors a team who has
good stickwork, which we are. It may
give Trenton an advantage but the last
two times we played them for the
national title, we beat them on the turf.
The astroturf really flatters our game."

Huskies end season with a 4-1 home record

Seniors honored in
pregame ceremony

by Da ve Sauter
Staff Writer
Saturday's home game against Indiana's University of Pennsylvania
marked the final home contest for 23
talented and dedicated Bloomsburg
seniors. As is annual; BU tradition, the
23 players were honored in front of
1,370 fans who braved the inclement
weather in pre-game ceremonies.
Among ;the graduating are quarterback Paul Venesky and running back
Leonard Bluitt, the dynamic duo who
stepped in for the graduated Jay
DeDea and Tommy Matin. Despite
Bluitt's season-ending injury against
Cheyney, the two turned in fine season
efforts.
Also leaving in the running corps
are Mike Medina and Eric Speece.
Medina played behind Bluitt early in
the year and has started since. Speece
has been steady all-year in the fullback spot coming through with the
tough yardage when needed.
By way of receivers, Jon Smith an
Dave "Punky" Brewster are receiving
their diplomas. Though both have
seen limited action this year, their
value to the team of experience and
knowledge are immeasurable.
Offensive lineman Scott Long and
Bob Preston will also be leaving
Bloomsburg unit. Not much is heard

about the offensive line these two have
played valuable roles during tenures,
as Huskies.
On the defensive side of the ball, the
Husky defense will suffer greatly from
the loss of five tough defensive backs:
Delmas Woods, Bruce Linton, Ron
Sahm, Brian Murphy, and Dan Shutt,
