University tenure procedure challenged by two professors

by Dawn M. D'Aries
'News Editor
In the midst of student dissatisfaction wilh administration , two former
professors are. questioning why they
were refused tenure. Tenure is the
right of a faculty member to hold his
position and not be removed except
for just cause.
Guidelines for obtaining tenure are
included in the Collective Bargaining
Agreement, which is a contract between the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) and the university.
BU faculty members who are hired
on tenure-track appointments must
submit an application for tenure no
latojthan at the completion of four and
one half years of teaching. The application is evaluated by the department
tenure committee, the department
chairperson, and a university-wide
tenure committee. Based on those three
separate evaluations and subsequent
recommendations, President Harry
Ausprich makes the final decision on
tenure.
There are four items of criteria for
performance review and evaluation of
faculty : effective teaching, which is
based on peer and student evaluations;
continuing scholarly growth , which is
based on publications, awards and
research activities; contribution to the
University , based on quality of academic advisement and active participation in department and University
committees; and contribution to the
community, which includes public
service and speaking engagements to
community organizations.
Two former professors who were
denied tenure are taking legal action
against Bloomsburg University. In
apparently unrelated circumstances,
Dr. Carole Reifsteck and Dr. Robert
Obutelewicz are challenging decisions
which refused them tenure positions.
Reifsteck, formerly an assistant
professor in the music department, has
filed sex discrimination charges with
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and the Pennsylvania
Human Relations Board.
The music department tenure committee and the music department chairperson recommended that Reifsteck
be denied tenure. Professors John

Couch , Nelson Miller, and William
Decker made up the music department tenure commitlec and Stephen
C. Wallace is music department chairperson. Of those four, only Decker
and Wallace have doctorates.
According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, professors can not
follow grievance procedures if they
receive two recommendations for
tenure denial . Therefore , Reifsteck is
unable to file a grievance to be reinstated as a BU professor. Wilh the help
of the EEOC, she is seeking back pay.
Part of Reifsteck's discrimination
argument is based on a letter written
by retired BU professor Dr. George
Boss.
Boss wrote that in a conversation
wilh retired music professor Nelson
Miller he found out the committee
wanted to deny tenure to Reifsteck
and music professor Wendy Miller ,
the only women in the music department at the time.
Nelson Miller has denied accusations written by Boss that the committee was "concerned how it would look
for them lo turn down two women for
tenure at the same time, both of whom
have had highly complimentary public exposure, as well as campus recognition .
"So they decided to deny the one
woman in their opinion who was least
likely to offer resistance to their denial ," wrote Boss in the letter.
Boss, who was a professor in the
now defunct speech, theater, and mass
communication department, was refused tenure at BU in 1980.
Boss said he believes tenure "too
often gets to be a decision of a few in
the department," and doesn't reflect
the majority.
His contract with the university kept
him employed until 1982, however,
and he contends that his retirement
papers give him some of the same
rights as tenure.
Boss represents a minority of professors who have been refused tenure
after five years of employment.
"It's a very remote thing that someone is denied tenure after five years of
evaluations," said Reifsteck.
She said Boss's statements in the
letter are supported by fact.
"If you compare Dr. Wendy Miller's

contributions (to the university and
community) and mine, you 'll find I' ve
done equally as much if notmore ," she
addcd. "If she was granted tenure then
wh y wasn 't I?"
Boss said he decided to support
Reifsteck because he is familiar with
her contributions to the university and
community and saw an injustice being
done.
"I' ve supported her all this time,"
Boss said.'T went directly to President
Ausprich and spoke with him about
it. "
Reifsteck said although she has not
been able to speak personally wilh

tee recommended that tenure not be
granted . Ausprich , contradictory to the
Reifsleck case, then went against
department recommendations and
denied tenure for Obutelewicz.
After going through two on-campus
gricvanceprocedures .lheObutelewicz
case was presented in Harrisburg about
a month and a hal f ago. There the case
was reviewed by an arbitrator.
According to Dr. J. David Cunningham , director of Personnel and Labor
Relations , the arbitration decision was
lo bring Obutelewicz back lo the university for one year and evaluate him
again.

"The system we have is by no means
perfect, but I don 't see reasons to make
drastic changes. " .D_ Brian Johnson
Ausprich about the matler, union leaders and other faculty members have
spoken with him on her behalf.
The first meeting scheduled for
discussion of ihe justification for tenure denial was to include Ausprich ,
union members, Reifsteck's lawyer,
and herself. However, Reifsteck
said ,"We were not permitted to sec
President Ausprich. We had to see Dr.
Cunningham (director of Personnel
and Labor Relations) who projected
himsel f as the 'official spokesperson '
for the mailer."
Currently, Reifsteck is job-hunting
while awaiting EEOC action. She cites
that it is difficult to go to an interview
and be asked why she is no longer at
Bloomsburg University.
While Reifsteck must settle for an
EEOC decision and keep looking for a
job, Dr. Obutelewicz is fighting for
reinstatement at BU.
Obutelewicz , a former assistant
professor in the economics departmen t,
is following grievance procedures
outlined in the Collective Bargaining
Agreement.
According to Dr. Brian Johnson ,
professor of geography and earth science and president of APSCUF, ihc
economicsdepartment tenurecommittee and economics chairperson recommended tenure after evaluating
Obutelewicz.
The university-wide tenure commit-

Since this resolution is a method not
included in the collective bargaining
agreement , the University is appeali ng the decision to the Commonwealth
Court of Pennsylvania. The case will
be prescnied lo a panel of three judges
at a December hearing.
Obutelewicz , faculty advisor for Phi
Si gma Xi fraternity, could not be
reached for comment. However, Phi
Sig president Timothy Holier commented that the fralernity is optimistic
that Obutelewicz will be reinstated.
"Right now we're waiting to see
what happens wilh the appeal ," Holier
said. "But, if we need to, we'll start a
student petition and help him in any
way wc can."
Despite the actions taken by these
two professors , Johnson contends the
tenure procedure does not need major
revisions.
"The system we have is by no means
perfect ,"Johnson admilted ,"butl don't
see reasons to make drastic changes."
Dr. Ronal d Champoux , professor of
communication disorders and special
education , heads the univers ity-wide
tenure community.
Seven committee members serve
two-year terms after being elected by
their peers. Committee members include Champoux , William Frost, reference collection librarian , Dr. Howard Schrcier, professor of communication studies, Clinton Oxenrider,

professor of mathematics and computer science, Dr. Mark Hornberger,
professor of geography and earth science, Charles Laudermilch, professor
of sociology and social welfare, and
Wallace. Irvin Wright, assistant director of Developmental Instruction, and
Susan Hibbs, professor of health,
physical education and athletics, will
replace Hornberger and Laudermilch
in January.
Champoux said that the tenure procedure has improved somewhat.
"We've tightened up the tenure
process," Champoux said."We're
taking a harder look at the applicants."
But tenure may not be getting enough
attention from fac ulty and students.
"The tenure committee is not given
its due in terms of the import and
implications it has for the decisions
that it makes," Champoux said."The
tenure committee can set the tone for
the university and the quality of education that's provided. It effects students and it effects the University at
large."
The promotion committee, which
decides on faculty promotions and
positions, is often regarded by faculty
as being of higher importance than the
tenure committee.
The main concern for students seems
to be whether professors who are not
providing a quality education are
granted tenure. Another student concern is whether or not tenured professors are continually maintaining an
appropriate level of instruction.
"When we grant someone tenure
based on the past five years we're
making the assumption that that individual is going to continue to perform
satisfactorily," Champoux explained.
In some instances, professors hired
on tenure-track appointments have
been released after one year because
their performance was judged to be
unsatisfactory.
Johnson noted that this is an efficient procedure.
In some cases you will know after
one year if the professor is inadequate," Johnson said."Some professors, on the other hand, need four
years to prove they can do the job."
But some professors , such as
Reifsteck and Obutelewicz, fall "victim " to the procedure. The two profes-

sors taught four years on tenure-track
appointments, continually making
improvements according to evaluations, and were led to believe they
would eventually receive tenure. Critics of the tenure procedure explain
that this is unfair to the individual
professor, other faculty, and students.
Another concern is thatstudents have
no power over tenured faculty or the
procedure to obtain tenure.
"I've had a couple of professors
with tenure who don'tcompare to some
professors without tenure," said one
BU senior student who refused to be
identified.'The quality of education
some tenuredprofessors provide is not
worth my money."
But Johnson insists that tenure provides reasonable protections for faculty, explaining that non-tenured professors are least likely to make suggestions or speak about university
problems.
This is a problem on the national
level as well. Dave Noble, currently a
tenured professor at Drexel University, is suing Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) for $1.5 million.
He charges that "the university fired
him because of his left-wing political
views and his public statements criticizing MIT, and thus denied his rights
to free speech and academic freedom."
Professors at Bloomsburg may be
hesitant to speak out as well.
Faculty seem to have become increasingly hesitant to publicly criticize the University or elaborate on
administrative policies,unless they are
figh ting for students' rights," one student said.
Tenured professors must be evaluated every five years. If students feel a
professor with tenure is providing
unsatisfactory instruction they can
complain to the dean of their specific
school of concentration.
"If thedean believes somebody isn 't
doing very well he can ask for a review
oftener ," Cunningham said."You
could review every year, if you had
reason."
Cunningham, Johnson , and Champoux could not recall any cases where
a professor with tenure was fired.
They also could not recall any serious complaints about a tenured professor.

The FDA - the principal consumer
protection agency in the federal government - is responsible for insuring
that all drugs are proven "safe and

their risks.

manufacturers. Consumers,many say,
end up paying the high price of getting
drugs approved.
"My sense is there is virtually a
unanimous consensus that the FDA
should do a faster job in approving
safe and effective new drugs," Gerald
J. Mossinghoff , president of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association, said in a recent interview.
There are, however, exceptions to
MossinghofFs rule. They include some
academic researchers and consumer
advocates who argue that the United
States may take longer than other
countries, but it has been more successful in keepingdangerous drugs off
the market.
Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the
Public Citizen Health Research
Growth , contends that the agency's
time is frittered away reviewing insignificant new drugs.
Far from breakthroughs, most new
drugs are simply another company's
version of what already exists,he says.
"In the world that we think would be
much safer and better for patients, the
FDA would not be able to approve a
drug unless it were an important advance," said Wolfe. "Most of their
time and energy is wasted on drugs
that do not even arguably offer an
important advance."
The drug approval process currently
under fire goes something like this: A
drug's sponsor - a company or a research institute, for example - that
tries out its new product on a . few
dozen volunteers.
That study, called a phase-one trial,
is designed to'determine whether the
product can be tolerated and metabolized in humans.

If it can, theproductgoes into longer
and more extensive trials - 200 people
in phase two and in 200 to more than
1,000 people in phase three. Those
trials, which usually take years, examine the drug's safety and whether it is
effective and at what doses.
In those studies, the volunteers are
placed randomly. Some receive the
drug, others receive an innocuous
placebo. The aim is to enable the researchers to recognize real effects of
the drug by comparing the reactions of
the two groups.
What finally emerges is a so-called
New Drug Application - as much as
100,000 pages of data to be reviewed
by the FDA.

Real world is not to be f eared
by Melissa S. Menap ace
Guest Columnist
This weekend a friend told me she
was worried about going into the "real

NOVEMBER 8--PEARL VTOEORVAY

Time has come for a change
To the Editor
It 's a day of change in The Voice
office .today. Our beloved Editor-inChief Karen A. Rciss is stepping down.
This is her last issue as our head
honcho , and as of Thursday, Dawn M.
D'Aries will take over the chaos that
wc call the newspaper.
As a rookie editor myself , this
semester has been one of change for
me, personally, too. Working with the
seven other incredibl y dedicated (or
are we all crazy — sometimes we have
to wonder) people on this staff , we
have all learned a lot of things. Like
the meaning of the word stress,
especially when stories aren't handed
in , or an incredibl y important event

and you have half a page oLwhite
space staring at you and nothing to fill
it up — and typos, well , we've all had
our share ... And then there's the allniter (not the one sponsored by the
Program Board), which we have each
mastered quite nicely by now ... but
the most important thing we've learned
— at least I' ve learned — is the
importance of dedication to something
you believe in (even if you 're not a
mass comm major), even though you
may get criticism for all your hard
work. We know we're not perfect —
being human dees have its limitations.
But we try, and we try to do the best we
can, which is why many of the people
who put this publication together are
serenaded all night long by the games
in the games room (yes, some are not
turned off ,ever) until the wee hours of

Once again, someone for us to despise
"I mink I should have voted for
Bush. " said a disappointed friend.
"Since everyone I Note for always loses;
may be it would have thrown the
election to Dukakis. "
It 's true that , in my neig hborhood ,
we 've backed a lot of losers. Here on
Manhattan 's Upper West Side , which
has one of the most liberal electorates
in the nation and a congressman , Ted
Weiss , with a record to match , the
lines at the polling booths bristled with
never-say-die Dukakis-Bentsen
buttons and pessimistic frowns. The
retu rn s from around the nation came
as no surprise, but election night was
nonetheless a gloomy one.
There was no surprise, too, in the
reactions of my friends. Most of us are
in our late 30s or earl y 40s ,
professionals and academics of one
kind or another with rent-stabilized
apartments, postgradua te degrees and
some experience , back in the '60s,
with the anti-war movement.
Predictably, the feelings that I' ve
heard expressed by almost everyone I
know are deeply at variance with the
rest of America: It's a given , around
here , that George. Bush is a goofily
grinning mediocrity whose election
bodes ill for the environment , for
women 's rights and for the poor; that
his running-mate, Dan Quayle, is a
national embarrassment (and
potentially a national catastrophe), and

that , in handing the two of them so
lopsided a victory , American voters
have once again demonstrated their
blindness , their anti-iniellectualism
and their susceptibility to the crudest
sort of flag-waving demagoguery.
"Those morons out there have done it
again " _ that 's what people in these
parts have teen say ing ever since the
election. I hear it all the time.
But I' ve also begun to hear
something else _ something I first
became aware of eight years ago with
the coming to power of Ronald Reagan.
I heard it again after his re-election ,
but it seems even more apparent today.
Beneath the genuine anguish and
disappointment, beneath the grumbling
and the sighs , as my friends and I
contemplate another four or even eight
years of Reaganism and enumerate the
disasters that await us, I hear a secret
satisfaction.
In part , of course, it s just the
melancholy satisfaction of the doom cryer; there's something undeniably
enjoyable about playing Cassandra.
There's also a hint , in my friends '
worried tones, of the excitement one
tends to feel in a crisis. Adversity is
not without its appeal.
This time, though , the appeal is of a
very special kind: that of the outcast,
the rebel, who defines himself by his
opposition to those in power .

The semester is not over yet, but it
has been quite an eventful one so far.
From a suicide to a mass comm rally
(that wouldn 't have been possible
without a certain special person); from
the establishment of an alcohol task
force on campus to new dorm s by
Nelson , and Pat Benatar to Bob from
Sesame Street, and of course, cursing
out the computers for losing six hours
of work to having to make absolute
last-minute changes; and who can
forget the editorial staff changes to
teaching us all how we put a newspaper
together, and closing the Union each
Sunday and Wednesday night, only to
help the janitori al staff open it every
Monday and Thursday morning, too ...
it certainly has been eventful.
All the late ni ghts and bullshit
sessions are priceless memories I won't
soon forget. It 's amazing how much
can be learned staying up late and
stressing out with a bunch of unique
people. Without very off-the-wall
sense of humors , I don 't think any of

us would survive. (If we didn 't already
have a good sense of humor, by now,
we certainly have gotten them!) But
we have survived , and I think we're
better for the experience , no matter
how exhausted we all are, and how
much homework wc,have to catch up
on. It has been fun , and I don 't regret
accepting the responsibility I have
taken on. It hasn't been easy, granted,
but it has been an experience that has
taught me a lot — about myself and
other people. Without other people
behind me, supporting me in what I do
and believing in me, I never would
have made it this far. And without
your support , Karen , we really would
have to hand out crayons with the
paper, so that people could color on
page 4!
I think I can speak for the entire staff
and my fellow editors in saying,
"Thank You, Karen!" You 've been a
boss, a peer, a counselor ... but most
importantly, you 've been a friend. Now
that the back desk is going to have
someone else's junk all over it , your
influence will definitely remain.

Bush administration faces huge deficit Noted sociologist to

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON _ Soon after
taking office, President-elect Bush will
face some little-mentioned problems
that could cost the government at least
$70 billion and severely complicate
the already difficult task of reducing
the budget deficit, according to Bush
advisers.
The new president will have to
devise a solution for the nation 's
deteriorating savings and loan
industry , which could cost more than
$50 billion , the advisers say.
He also l'nust confront the high edst
of remedying the severe health and
safety problems in the nuclear
weapons industry, which experts say
could cost $20 billion as a first
installment , the aides said.
The General Accounting Office and
the Department of Energy estimate
the long-term cost at $170 billion to
restore and operate (lie industry in an
environmentally sound way .
Although barel y mentioned by
cither candidate in the campaign , the
crisis facing the savings and loan
industry may be at the top of the new
president 's domestic agenda of
immediate problems to address.

Losses are piling up in the insolvent
and near-insolvent part of the industry,
with a leading federal regulator
estimating the hemorrhage at between
$700 million to $800 million a month.
The politically influential industry
is seeking some kind of a
multibillion-dollar government rescue
as an alternative to placing the burden
on the healthy part of the industry, a
step that savings and loan officials
warn would force more institutions
into insolvency.
"Something's got to be done as part
of a broad review of financial
regulations," a top Bush adviser said,
but we are opposed to a taxpayer
bailout. It is not really necessary."
But many experts on Capitol Hill
say that a taxpayer bailout probably
will be needed even though it would
increase the deficit.
About 500 of the nation 's 3,092
savings and loan associations are in ,
and 400 others are reported to be shaky,
Officials of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board expect to report a thirdquarter loss of about $2 billion , which
would be downfrom $3.9 billion in the
first quarter and $3.6 billion in the
second quarter.
But the industry 's losses would still

set a record this year.
The board estimates that $45 billion
to $50 billion will be neededto resolve
the crisis by replenishing the bankrupt
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corp., which insures deposit accounts
for up to $100,000. Private estimates
of the industry's need range up to $100
billion .
Insurance premiums paid to the
board by the healthy thrifts amount to
a total of $2 billion a year to help
resolve the crisis , but those
contributions are cutting deeply into
profits .
To minimize the bailout , Congress
will consider a merger of the insurance
agency for the savings and loans with
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.,
which insures deposits in the
commercial banks.
The fund now has about $16 billion ,
but the banks are adamantl y opposing
a merger, which they contend would
divert their resources to rescue the
savings industry .
FDIC Chairman L. William Seidman ,
who opposes a merger, plans to produce
a rescue package for the savings
industry Nov. 30. The industry itself
intends to recommend new regulations,
including larger capiial requirements ,

in exchange for a federal bailout.
Meanwhile, a series of revelations
over recent weeks about the hazardous
operations in the nuclear weapons
industry has set the stage for a costly
overhaul.
The Department of Energy, which
oversees production of nuclear
warheads shut down for safety reasons
several reactors that make ingredients
for the weapons.
That problem and the savings and
loan crisis fall on top of a budget for
1990 that may reach $136 billion ,
according to the Congressional Budget
Office. That is considerably higher
than the administration s mid-1988
forecast of $111 billion.
Administration sources said that
President Reagan intends to send Coa
budget Jan. 9 wilh a projected deficit
of $100 billion that will be "extremely
ti ght " on domestic spending but
increase defense spending about $6
billion beyond the rale of inflation.
An economics adviser to Bush said
that the president-elect "probably will
back away from the plan to raise
defense spending above inflation in
negotiations with Congress, but he
definitely will keep to his campai gn
pledgeto oppose a tax increase. "

Company pollutes environment in Virginia
by D'Vera Cohn and Peter Pae

LA Times-Wash ington Post

FRONT ROYAL, Va.-It was the
popularity of the Culligan man in this
Shenandoah River town that first led
William Kregloe to investiga te what
turned out to be one of the major
environmental messes in Virginia.
Kregloe, a regional engineer for the
State Water Control Board , wonder
why so many people were buying water
treatment from Culligan for their wells.
When his queries led state officials to
inspect those wells in 1982, they
pumped out water that smelled like
sulfur and looked like weak tea.
The state's investigation eventually
accused Avtex Fibers, the nations
largest rayon manufacturer , of
dumping, hazardous chemicals into
unlined pits that polluted ground water

environmentalists and other critics say
that regulatory agencies could have
acted faster and tougher. In addition ,
outdated regulatory procedures may
have delayed state attempts to make a

Two weeks ago, on Oct. 31, Avtex
announced that it would close because
of fi nancial troubles, throwing 1,300
people out of work on three days'

Last Wednesday, officials reversed

In 1985, while doing graduate work
at Yale University, Smith organized
an expedition of graduate students to
study the biology of the people along
the Omo River. The Omo River Valley , located in Southwest Ethiopia , is
one of the most unexplored areas of
the world. The expedition was funded
by Yale, National Geographic , and
The World Wildlife Fund.
Smith noted that his desire to study
the Omo region resulted from his interest in the antiquity of humanity in
Africa and also from his concern over
resources being poorly managed on
the planet, especially on the continent
of Africa.
To reach the Omo River Valley,
Smith and his group had to travel the
Omo River. Although Smith had previously been a guide in Africa and
knew Africa well from having been
there, one problem could not be
avoided along the journey — daily
hippo attacks. Smith remarked that
researchers travelling the Omo River
are always in fear of the attacks because, "When all of your supplies for
two months are on a raft, you can 't
afford to lose it."

I used to play Spy Hunter. It was a
great game for its time and I enjoyed
the idea of being James Bond for a
little while. Of course, my best friend
enjoyed knocking the innocent pedestrians off of bridges and sending the
motorcycles careening into trees.
But video games got more sophisticated and , as much as I enjoyed Spy
Hunter, I couldn 't just stick with it.

Old times' sake or not, I had to move
on to bigger and better things.
But th en my hopes were revived. It
was much more a case of Mad Max
than James Bond , but Road Blasters
brought my favorite game concept
back to life.
Road Blasters is, essentially, a three
dimensional Spy Hunter. The game is
very simple to control and play , but a
true challenge to master.
, The controllers consist of a gas pedal

and a modified steering wheel. The
wheel consists of two triggers underneath the wheel and two buttons
above it. The triggers activate simple
road cannons. These are to be used
acccurately to maximize scores but
can be used in a rapid fire mode in a
crisis situation.
For those who remember having to
chase down the Special Weapons Van
and the frustrations that it caused,
don't worry. In this scenario, the spe-

cial weapons come to you. A space
ship will drop off some very helpful
gadgets every so often. These gadgets
are controlled by the upper set of buttons and are very useful as each situation dictates.
One of the first gadgets that can be
used is a machine gun , or uzi cannon
as the game prefers to call it. This can
be used to wipe out everything on your
path with out affecting your multiplier, which boosts your score.
Weapon number two is a nitro-injector. This little baby will lake you
from zero to 200 in a heck of a lot less
than ten seconds. However, steering at
these speeds does become tricky and
the pro and novice alike should excercise caution .
The Force Field is a handy little
gadget. It is a way to zap you out of that
sudden collision crisis. It is also a last
ditch effort to avoid the roadside cannons that await the unwary driver.
My favorite weapon is "the nuke."
This is, simply put, a sure fire way to
eliminate anyone or anything that gets
in your way. Simply press the button
and wi pe out your rivals without
blinking an eye. One minute they're
there.The next minute — POOF! Spy
Hunter was never like this.
I warn you , this game could be addicting. But for those who dare, get
behind the wheel of a car that kicks
and go wild.

Geograph y Awareness Week
highlights an American weakness
by Melissa S. Menapace
Features Editor
Geography is much more than
maps and place names. It plays a
crucial role in addressing national
and global concerns. Unfortunately,
Americans have a woefully
inadequate knowledge of geography.
To increase public awareness of
geography, the geograph y faculty
and students at Bloomsburg
University are installing exhibits of a
geographic nature in Hartline
Science Center, Andruss Library,
and the University Book Store
during this year 's Geography
Awareness Week, Nov . 13-19.
Congress created Geography
Awareness Week by joint resoludon
as a resolution on the initiative of
Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey.
This is the second national
Geography Awareness Week.
A recent Gallup poll found that a
large majority of American adults
consider geography important and
recognize that a country 's location
cans significantl y affect many
aspects of it's peoples lives. And
yet, many Americans lack the basic
geography skills needed to function

in society or to make informed
judgements about national and
international affairs .
For example , half of those
surveyed are unaware that Nicaragua
is the country in which the
Sandinistas and centra 's are in
conflict. More than half do not know
the population of the United States.
One American in seven can not
identify the United States 'on a map
of the world and one-fourth can not
identify the Pacific Ocean or the
Soviet Union.
The Congressional Record
of
June 9, 1987 reported lhat 39 percent
of studen ts surveyed in Boston could
not name the six New England
states.
Almost 70 percent of in another
survey c students could not name one
country in Africa bewtween the
Sahara and South Africa. Only
twelve percent of the same students
could name all of the Great Lakes.
The Dead Sea is in Utah , and
Vladivostok is in Poland , according
to some school children surveyed in
in 1987.

Eddie to know
the score of
last night's game."

During the 1960s, when the
Vietnam War was at it's most
vicious, one man found levity
among the horror; disc jockey
Adrian Cronauer. Cronauer
was famous among American
soldiers for his emphatic ,
boisterous wake up call used to.
lift spirits during the dreary
days of war.
Good Morning Vietnam is
based on the true story of this
witty, sincere and controversial
personality, played by Robin
Williams. He demonstrates his
well rounded acting ability in
the performance of Vietnam
intelligently uses Cronauer to
show the many facets of the
Vietnam War. There is the
humor, used to keep the troops
going each day, the serious
side, which led to Cronauer's
removal, and of course the
tragic side , depicting the
horror of violence and senseless
killing that was part of daily
life during the war.
Unlike most recent films on
the war, this one manages to
focus on life outside the battle
field , showing
people 's
reactions to the fighting which
was devastating an already
hopeless country.
Despite the plethora of war
films that has emerges in the
last few years, this is the first to
show all viewpoints of the war,
is
using Cronauer , who
neutral, to display different
views.
Good Morning Vietnam is a
warm, sensitive movie which
should not be missed.
Showtimes are Wedensday
and Thursday at 2:30 p.pm. in
the Kehr Union B uilding, and 7
p.m. and 9:30 in Haas Center.

illiteracy. Geography incorporates
many of his interests. " I like to
travel, and I enjoy maps , working
with spatial relations. I was a
navi gator pilot in the Navy. "
Stetson says a major in geograph y
incorporates
many careers.
Teaching and map making are two
of the most obvious. Working in
environmental p lanning and
industrial locations, working for the
military and the government are
some of the areas
in which
geographers are invaluable.
The Geography Department at
Bloomsburg University has 14
professors, one of whom is on
sabbatical. Most of them are involved
with geographic research. Dr.
Stetson is studying Irish migration in
Susquehanna County . Some other
current topics include old order
Amish landscapes , relig ious
geography of the Mormons; factors
contributing attracting industry to
Columbia County, inventory and
assessment of flood control projects
along the Susquehanna River from
Danville to Wilkes-Barre.

COACH'S CORNER

Af rican experience leads B U's
Dave R ider to coaching career
By Kelly Cuthbert
Sports Editor
In 1967 he set off for a turbulent
Israel wilh the intent of becoming a
serious, ambitious archaeologist.
While in The Holy Land , he
searched for artifacts and later did the'
same in North America. He eventuall y
found himself in the Peace Corps
setting up beekeeping cooperatives in
Morocco , where an opportunity arose
to teach Moroccans to swim and to
olay basketball. This was the first
coaching experience for Bloomsburg
swimming coach Dave Rider.
Little did he know that an interest in
archaeology would lead to a coaching
career. During college, Rider directed
his efforts toward swimming, playing
baseball, and "going on to become a
serious archaeologist."Rider earned a
bachelor's degree from the University
of Chicago in Near Eastern
Archaeology and then went on to earn
his master's in Sports Science from
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
¦ He began his trek across culture and
time in Israel. As a laborer, he dug for
bones, pottery, and other elements of a
culture dating back to 1500 B.C. The
six-week dig was coordinated jointly
by Hebrew Union College and Harvard
University, and it took place shortly
after the Six-Day War had ended.
"There were a lot of soldiers around,
but it didn 't seem to be tense or
volatile," Rider stated.
The period of study was the Middle
Bronze era, and Rider and his fellow
workers would work , from 4 a.m. to"
noon every day trying to unearth its
secrets.
Among the things they discovered
were flint knives, pottery, flint sickle
blades, and remains of walls. The
artifacts were washed and then labeled
where they had been found. "Basically,
since I didn 't know the language, I

really just learned archaeology. I
couldn 't speak to them (native
inhabitants)," Rider said.
One year later, Rider found himself
back in Chicago—as part of a twoweek dig into the past of North
American Indians. Artifacts were
retrieved from as far back as 200 years
ago. "In North America, you find a lot
less. It 's an entirely different culture,"
Rider said. "I've really been spoiled
by Near Eastern archaeology—you're
finding stuff constantly." At that time,
Rider was working for the Field
Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
Besides being a scientific expedition
into the past, the dig was educational
for hi gh school students. It was a way
of learning about archaeology and
Indian culture .
In 1969, Rider joined the Peace
Corps, a body of trained personnel
sent out as volunteers to assist
underdeveloped nations. He left
America for a three-yearexperience in
Morocco, a kingdom in North West
Africa. This time, communication
wasn't a problem. The Peace Corps
had trained him to speak the proper
language in just three months—
dialectical Arabic.
Rider was assigned to a small town
in a mountainous region. His job was
"to go up into the mountains and talk
to the farmers, trying to convince them
that it was in their best economic
interest to takeequipmentprovidedby
the government and teach them how to
keepbees."The average yearly income
for farmers in this area was $150.
"They could sell the honey for $1 a
kilogram . And hives usually produced
about 20 kilograms. It was a nice
addition to their income," he added.
After a year and a half of working
with bee keeping cooperatives and
native African farmers, the Peace
.Corps.chose Rider._o,fill a position as

a swimming and basketball coach to a
formalized Moroccan league of
partici pants. "The Peace Corps
checked who wasalready in the country
(Morocco) with this ' type of
background and asked me to do it. I
jumped at the chance."
Not only did the move influence his
future, but it gave Rider a differen t
perspective on the Moroccan culture .
"I felt like I became very close to a
different type of inhabitant. I'd been
mostly dealing with farmers and now,
sudden ly, I was dealing with city youth.
It was an entirely different outlook.
That was very good for me to learn an
entirely different side of the culture I
hadn't seen before."
These experiences also combined to
produce a unique coaching perspective
for Rider, who believes that the
technical partof his job is only ^minor
part. Besides recruiting, planning
meets, arranging schedules , and
running practice drills, there is the
human side of coaching. "Everyone
has problems sometimes that you need
to talk about," Rider states, and
counseling is no small part of coaching.
When he recruits, Rider looks not
only for talented people who are good
students, but for people he can enjoy
working with. "Swimming requires a
lot of support from teammates and
that's what keeps team unity."
For Rider, there is also the element
of ego-satisfaction—but not in the
ordinary sense. "You like to feel like
you're part of the athletes' success,
even though it's a minor part."
There is an underlying motive to his
teaching and coaching. "I want them
to get the satisfaction of knowing that
they 've achieved the goals that they 've
set for themselves."
With Rider at the helm, Bloomsburg
swimmers should accomplish a lot as
.they dig it out this-season:" ¦•<" •<-

Husky football finishes at 7-4
f r¦o mpage 8
Overall, Horton completed 25 of 49
passes for 270 yards and two
touchdowns, his fullback, McCoy,
gained 52 yards rushing and caught
seven passes for 63 yards.
Offensively, the Huskies gained a
total of 241 yards. Venesky was nine
out of 24 passing for 133 yards and
gained another 28 on the ground.
Fullback Eric Speece closed out his
career with a strong game gaining 57
yards on nine carries. Mike Medina
rushed seven times for 22 yards while
John Cannon had nine yards on four
attempts.
Tight end Paul Lonergan , played a
very good game with five receptions
for 92 yards. Jon Smith chipped in two
catches for 22 yards while Speece

gained 19 yards the two times he caught
the ball.
On the defensive side of the ball, it's
safe to say the Bloomsburg squad was
kept quite busy. Bruce Linton and
Wade Pickett tied for team honors
with 11 tackles.
Nine of Linton 's hits came
unassisted, and he also had an
interception.
Cornerback Tom Heavy also had
nine unassisted tackles and ten all
together. Like Linton , he too was
credited with an interception.
Another member of the BU
secondary, Dan Shutt, had the third
interception and also a pass break-up.
Also enjoying big days with eight
tackles each wereGene Straface, Brian
Anghey, and Todd Leitzel.

From the Field hockey takes second
Cheap Bloomsburg f alls to Trenton
Seats State 3-2 in double overtime
Well , I guess I
don 't have much of
a future as a boxin<
analyst
Sean Ryan
Sports Editor
Well you can 't win them all. Here
I am thinking that I can read a few
articles and predict a fight. My prediction of this fig ht was as accurate
as Pete Axthclm 's football picks on
Sunday: basically wrong.
What docs he mean basically
wrong you say?
Hey, I never came right out and
said that Lalondc would win, I
merely implied that it would be a
better fi ght than most people expected^ it's obvious here that I'm
trying to save face).
The fight that I predicted would
put a dent in Sugar Ray Leonard 's
boxing career winded up putting a
dent in Lalonde 's head.
Lalonde registered a knockdown
in the fourth round , but after that the
five-time world champion , Sugar
Ray Leonard basically controlled
the fight on route to a 9th round
knock out to clinch the light-heavy
weight and the WBC super middleweight title.
Leonard said that for two weeks
prior lo the fight he had a premonition that he would get knocked
down. He called the vision 'haunting ' when he was knocked down in
the fourth. The knockdown was the
second one in his whole career.
Lalondc said the key to his loss
was his failure to stay on top of
Leonard after the knockdown in the
fourth round. '" I let myself down. I
should have gone after Ray," Lalonde said. (He sure should have, he
would have made me look a Hide bit
belter !).
Lalonde stopped using his left
and Leonard took advantage of Lalonde's defensive faults registering
a knockout in the 9th round that Lalonde doesn 't even remember. He
says he never fell the punch , but we
know there must have been something behind it if il put him to the
canvas.
Lalonde said that three days before the bout he had a dream that Leonard knocked him out with a right. (
this was no doubt a nightmare that
came true).
A short note on the Philadelphia Eagles:
The Birds look like they may
have a shot of getting to the playoffs. The Eagles defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-26 yesterday in
and ugly fashion and upped their
record to 6-5.
The division leading New York
Giants lost to Pheonix Cardinals,
and dropped their record to 7-4,
makingthem theco-leaders with the
Cardinals.
The Redskins and Eagles are tied
for second place. The last five
games are of major importance to
the Birds because they are all opponents within the division.
Next Sunday could possibly be
one of the most important Sundays
this year. The Giants play theEagles
at the Medowlands, the Cardinals
play Houston Oilers at Houston,
and the Redskins play San Fransisco at San Fran' on Monday Night
Football.
The key for the Eagles will be
quarterback Randall Cunnigham. If
Cunnigham can continue to stay
healthy ,which ahs been so difficult
for NFL quarterbacks, the Birds
have a legitimaate shot at making
the playoffs or even winning the
division .
If all goes well and the Eagles
win and Washington and Pheonix
lose next Sunday, theEagles will be
be in a three way tie for first place.

Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg University field
hockey team completed its*season on
Saturday as they came in second place
in the NCAA Division III Field
Hockey Championship.
Host team Trenton (NJ.) State
College bacame the national champions by defeating the Huskies in an
exciting 3-2 victory that went into two
overtimes in what can be considered a
true championship calliber game.
The astroturf did not seem to be as
big an advantage for Trenton as
Bloomsburg dominated the first few
minutes of play. "I think we shocked
them a little because we really took it
to them ," said Bloomsburg Coach Jan
Hutchinson. "This is their home turf
and they play on it all year, but I think
wc outplayed them. I think our kids
just played super."
The Huskies were continuously
frustrated by the great play of Trenton
State's goaltender Denise Brown ,
who made 16 tough saves during the
game—many of those in the first part
of the game.
Trenton survived the earl y
Bloomsburg rush and began to put on
pressure of their own as they had two
one on one shots off of corners. But
Bloomsburg s April Kolar just stoned
the Trenton players on both occasions
and kept the game scoreless until halfway through the first half.
Trenton continued to pressure the
Bloomsburg defense and the Lions
finall y broke through for a score by
Nancy Warren with 14:49 left in the
firs t half. Warren knocked in a rebound off of Kolar in heavy traffic lo
give Trenton the 1-0 advantage.
Trenton continued to pressure the
Huskies but momentum switched
back to Bloomsburg as they started to
get more opportunities in the Lions'
end of the field. Bloomsburg scored
off of a corner with 10:12 left in the
first half. Daneen Fero took the initial
shot and Sharon Reilly put the rebound in to tie the score at 1-1.
The goal was number 18 for leading
scorer Reilly and her sixth of the
NCAA tournament.
Bloomsburg kept continuous pressure on Trenton the next four minutes
but were again stopped by outstanding
saves by the Lions' Brown.

Bloomsburg s Kolar matched
Brown save for save, however, as both
teams had good scoring opportunities
the rest of the half. But the score
remained 1-1 after the firs t half of
regulation.
The second half started the same
way the first half ended , with both
teams playing superior hockey. The
goaltcnders continued to shine as
many plays could have resulted in
goals for cither team.
With about 19 minutes left in regulation time , Bloomsburg ' s Kolar
made another outstanding save on
Trenton. Without the saves of Kolar,
the score could have been 7-1 in Trcnton 's favor, but the sophomore goaltender continued to play an MVP type
of game as she made 11 saves in the
contest.
The game settled down for about the
first twenty minutes of the second half
as there was a lot of midfield play .
With 14 minutes left in the hal f,
Cindy Hurst forced Trenton State into
a mistake which resulted in a corner
for Bloomsburg. The Huskies were
unable to convert that corner as Hurst
just missed a tip-in shot off a pass from
Fero.
Trenton look a 2-1 lead on a fine
play by Denise Decker and goalscorcr
Meghan Kelly. Decker fed Kelly with
a pass to Hie right side of the field and
Kelly bcal Kolar wilh a hard 15-yard
shot with only 6:30 left in regulation
play.
Bloomsburg refused to quit , however, and began to pressure the Lions.
The Huskies received a corner with
2:25 left in the game. On that comer
Hurst hit the ball to Fero. Fero made a
great play in controlling the ball and
sent the ball right back to Hurst , who
got the game tying goal with 2:22 left
in regulation as the Bloomsburg fans
went crazy .
Regulation ended with the game
tied at 2-2.
In the first overtime, Trenton controlled the action and Bloomsburg
survived on the goaltending of Kolar.
Wilh 4:43 left in the first ovcrlime
Kolar made two outstanding saves to
keep the score lied.
In
the
second
overtime ,
Bloomsburg had early pressure but
Trenton turned the tables and continued where they left off in the first

overtime , dominating play.
With
seven
minutes
left ,
Bloomsburg 's Betsy Warmcrdam
was penalized for arguing with the
referee and had to sit out the next four
minutes.
The Huskies put up a valiant shorthanded effort , but Trenton eventually
broke through with a goal by Jill
Shipley willi 6:33 left in the overtime.
Trenton then held off a late rush by
Bloomsburg as they tried to come
back a third lime. A comer by
Bloomsburg failed with about one
minute left and that left the final score
3-2 for Trenton in two overtimes.
On Friday, Bloomsburg advanced
to ihc final by defeating Cortland State
(N.Y) by a score of 1-0 in double
overtime on a goal scored by Gisela
Smith on a penalty stroke.
The Huskies dominated play early
in the game but could not convert any
of their nine penally corners or 15 firs t
half shots.
Bloomsburg played very agressivc
field hockey and Cortland' s goalkeeper Kris LaPaglia made five first
half saves, many of them very tough ,
to keep her team in the game.
Cortland put pressure on the Huskies in the fi rst ten minutes of the
second half. Cortland continuall y
intercepted Bloomsburg passes at
midfield and kept the ball in
Bloomsburg 's end of the field.
About halfway through the second
half the Huskies final ly turned the
game in their favor and Cortland
never got close to the Bloomsburg
cage the rest of the game.
Bloomsburg had a great opportunity to score wilh 16:18 left in regulation. Cortland stopped a shot by Hurst
illegally to give Hurst a penalty slroke.
Hurst , however, was beaten by
Cortland's LaPaglia. That save did not
turn the momentum in Cortland's
favor as Bloomsburg continued to
take shot after shot but LaPaglia made
14 saves to keep Cordand in the game
and regulation ended in a 0-0 tie.
In the first overtime, the Huskies

through again to keep the game scoreless.
Bloomsburg recieved another penalty stroke as the Cortland goaltender
was beaten by a shot and the save was
made illegally by a Cortland player
with 8:24 left in the second overtime.
The stroke was taken by freshman
Gisela Smith. Smith never put the ball
into the cage but the official ruled that
Cortland' s LaPaglia moved before the
stroke was taken and awarded Smith
the goal.
"I thought we played well once we
adjusted to the turf and got the nervousness out of our system," said
Hutchinson. "It was a tough way to
win the game but you can 't feel too
bad because they stopped two of our
shots illegall y which gave us the penalty strokes."

The Huskies of Bloomsburg University made the long trip to Connecticut to face New Haven University
hoping to end their season on a high
note. Unfortunately, the Chargers had
other plans in mind as BU was thoroughly defeated , 26-2.
Bloomsburg actually played what
seemed like two football games, one
in the first half and one in the second.

In the first half , the Huskies put on
a defensive clinic completely stopping the highly explosive New Haven
offense. Talented Charger quarterback , Mike Horton , could onl y complete nine of 32 passes for 118 yards
and threw there interceptions.
Meanwhile, Bloomsburg managed
two points at the 4:48 mark of the
second quarter when Ron Sahm came
flying in to block a punt. New Haven
did recover the ball, but in the endzone

for a safety for BU.
On the offensive side for the Huskies, Paul Venesky led the Huskies
into New Haven territory, but just
came up empty as the Charger defense
held strong, mark Weiss came up just
short on a 41-yard field goal attempt to
end one of those drives.
Their first score came at the 10:33
mark in the third quarter on an eightyard run around the right side by tailback , Weaver Williams. A 14-yard

BU quarterback Paul Venesky led the Huskies to another winning season as they finished 7-4.

pass by Horton on third-and-long was
the key of the drive.
The second half was a complete
new story for New Haven . Horton
came out throwing and completed an
amazing 15 of 17 passes to spark the
Chargers to four second half touchdowns.
Their first score came at the 10:33
mark in the third quarter on an eightyard run around the right side by tailback Weaver Williams. A 14-yard
pass by Horton on third-and-long was
the key of the drive. BU blocked the
extra-point to make the lead , 6-2.
Four seconds into the fourth quarter, new Haven expanded their lead to
12-2. Fullback Keith McCoy ran up
the middle for a two-yard touchdown.
A Horton pass to McCoy for 15-yards
set up the score. The two-point conversion attempt failed.
Five minutes later Williams scored
his second touchdown on a nine-yard
pass from Horton . This time the
Chargers managed the extra-point as
Pat Fitzpatrick's kick made it 19-2.
The scoring was rounded out at the
3:07 mark on a 27-yard touchdown
pass from Horton to split end Dan
Schwab. Fitzpatrick's kick made it
26-7. The pass was the only play of the
drive as the Chargers had good field
position after the Huskies gave the
ball up on downs.
Overall, Horton completed 25 of 49
passes for 270 yards and two touch-
