Study of college chairpeople reveals role conflict
by John Risdon
News Ediior
A study of die roles and relationshi ps
between department chairpersons and
their deans has revealed the existence
of role conflict and ambigu 'ty for
chairpersons. The conflict is related lo
differences in the perceptions of deans
and
chairs
concerning
the
responsibilities of die chairpersons.
The survey group of the study
included 107 chairpersons and 12
deans from six universities within the
Stale Higher Education System of
Pennsylvania. The sample group was
drawn from deans and chairs from
Colleges of Arts and Sciences and
Colleges of Professional Studies.
The siudy was conducted by Sam ucl
B. Slike , an associate professor of
Bloomsburg Uni vcrsi ty '.sDepartment
of Communication Disorders and
Special Educalion and Dr. William E.
Caldwell of Penn Sui te University. An
article co-written by the two professors
will be published by Higher Education Abstracts.
Based on past research which
pointed outambi guily concerning roles

of chairs in colleges and universities ,
the study anal yzed die chairpe rsons'
'positions on facets of their jobs
including feed back ,job autonomy, and
orientation received to prepare them
for their posilion.
Findings of the study indicated that
deans may have unrcalisli cpcrccptions
of Ihe chairpersons ' roles. According
to the article, deans viewed the
chairpersons lo hold more autonomy,
receive more feedback than they
actuall y do, and be betlcr oricnlcd
toward their positions than ihe chairs
themselves reported. In the slud y, 83
percent responded lhal ihcy had no
training lo become a departmental chair
person. Slike was not surprised at this
finding as there is onl y two to five
univcrsilies in the nation which have
training programsfor dicir chairpeople,
so thesta tesystem refl ects the national
trends.
Also, as the number of full lime faculty in departments increased , the role
conflic t expressed by chairpersons also
increased.
Slike commented
on the
findings ,"The majority of chairpeople

indicated the best way for ihcm to
learn their jobs was lo be trained by the
previous chair. " Slike said.
"It seems to me,"hecontinued , "thai
an orientation program for chairpersons would involve former chairs
helping new chairpeople."
"In some cases chairpersons arc
thrown into their job," Slike said. "It is
a difficult position , as not everyone
wanis to be a chairperson and due to
personnel resources it may come do wn
to a siluation where it is their turn .
This is not always the case , but when
il is it becomes not only a thankless
job , but one the person doesn 't want. If
the former chair was not doing a good
job then who does ihe new chai r turn
to?" .
Slike relates the posilion of chairperson equates to "quasi-middle man agement" in which the chair finds
themselves halfway between the
administration and their staff. He
staled , "What the dean wants usually
takes precedence over what the staff
wants. The chairperson must figure
out how to please both groups.
"The bottom line is that since we

need chairpeople in all aspects of the
university you must have people lo fill
the posilion in order to have a smooth
running institution ," Slike said. "The
people need to have human relation
skills , take care of scheduling, who is
teaching what classes and also take
care of a b u d g e t . . . its an incredible
job."
Calvin Walker , chair of the
psychology departmentcommentedon
•he study, "I think that you would
expect some sort of orientation in
taking over the position. I would say a
combination between the formerchairman and probably the dean helped me.
Between die two of them when I had
questions I spent a lot of time on the
phone figuring out what I should do
and could and couldn 't do as chairman. But I didn 't have any training.
I' ve never had any major problem
with Vacuity with what my role is."
Walker continued , "I'd think you
would find if you spoke to other
chairpeople that and asked specif ic
questions like scheduling or
determining course load , the faculty
response would vary widely. Prob-

lems will always vary between departments."
James Tomlinson , chair of speech
and communication studies, stated that
he also received no training as a new
chairperson at Bloomsburg. However,
the preceding chair, Richard Alderfer,
played a major role in adjusting him to
his new position four years ago and he
still refers to him to discuss problems,
even to this day, as he was the former
chair. Tomlinson commented, "I have
seen other places on this campus where
the form er chair did not help. That
could be because friction existed
between the people or the chair retired
or left the university. Then you have
no one to turn to with experience with
in the department. In my case I was
1ucky to have Alderfer around. He was
a great help and continues to be."
Tomlinson commented, "Because
we are faculty-elected chairpersons
and not administrators, role conflict
comes in to play because the dean may
say 'We need to do X and Y and you as
chair must implement it'. If the chair
does this and their faculty rebel than
you don 't have a chairperson any

longer. This has happened at this
school and every university I have
been at."
"I am all for faculty-elected chairpeople as they reflect the department's choice but they cannot always do what the administration
wants," he continued.
"Three years ago I brought up the
idea of training for chairs in a meeting
with John Baird ,"Tomlinson stated.
"It was after my first year as chair
and we were bringing in other people
as new chairs. I suggested that we do
.somekind of training and we did a
retreat for all chairpeople at the time.
So far there has been no action, but it
is still being discussed."
In terms of Tomlinson 's work as
Communication and Coordination
Task Force co-leader for this year's
Middle Stales Report he commented,
"As chairpeople are a vital link in the
communication chain here between
administration and faculty. Something must be done to take M s into
consideration. I probably will include this into my Middle States
report."

ized to coincide with any hearing the
Supreme Court may hold next year on
an abortion case.
Openly promising to break the law
if necessary to carry on "direct action ," Ms. Yard said that her group
will try to stir up "total chaos" to put
pressure on the nation 's "political
leadership."
If abortion is made illegal again, she
added, "there aren 't enough cells to
hold all the women who will defy the
law.
" We aren 't going to take it; we will
go to jail , no question about it. There's
not going to be any law-abiding."
Asked whether Congress might be
persuaded to restore, by constitutional
amendment, a right to abortion if the
Roe decision is overturned, Ms. Yard
commented: "We aren 't going to go
that route. We're not going to lose any
lives (through illegal abortions); we
will make it clear that it is unacceptable to overturn Roe vs. Wade."
She traced her anger, and the plans
for the coming protests, to the presidential election campaign, in which
George Bush came out fully against
the right to abortion , and to theReagan
administration 's decision last week,
endorsed Monday by Bush , to ask the
Supreme Court to reconsider the Roe
decision , and overturn it.

"We are in battle, and we will galvanize the women," she promised.
We will not allow turning back the
clock."
Joining Ms. Yard at the press conference, Eleanor Smeal, former NOW
president and current president of the
Fund for the Feminist Majority, a
fem inist political action group, said
that there will be "no honeymoon
period, for either (political) party" or
for the new Bush administration. The
new challenge to the Roe ruling, she
said, "ended any thought of a honeymoon period.''
"There is going to be far more direct
action," she added.
The set is not just to sit there, and
let a small group terrorize clinics and
health-careofficials. The majority has
been far too quiet. If the issue (of abortion) is too hot for politicians, it's not
too hot for us."
She was as critical of the Democrats
as of theRepublicans, saying that "neither party is leading on the question of
women's rights."
Ms. Smeal hinted that she may seek
to organize a new political party based
fem inist issues, noting that her surveys of women's attitudes on such a
movement had shown a doubling of
support recently for "a feminist approach in politics."

particularly in the case of the bombing
raid on Libya in April 1986," Dingell
said in a letter to a Los Angeles federal
judge who is handling a criminal case
stemming fromthefalsecertifications.
Genisco Technology Corp., an aerospace company based in Rancho
Domin , about 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles, which supplied a
small but critical component on the
missile system known as the pressure
transducer.
The corporation pleaded guilty along
with three of its managers to charges
of falsify ing test data to make it appear
that the transducers met design specification s when they had in fact not
been tested.
Failure of the transducers, which
are altitude sensing devices, could
cause the missiles to miss their targets,
federal officials said.
The charges prompted Navy officials to recall the High-speed AntiRadar Missile from strategic locations
around the world, and Genisco last
week agreed to pay $725,000 in fines
and restitution.
The three Genisco employees are
awaiting sentencing.
Texas Instruments, the prime contractor for the HARM missile, said
that transducers in about 100 missiles
had to be replaced.

Committee sources said that congressional investigators sought details on the performance of the missile
after the Libyan bombing raid, but
were told that individual pilot debriefings had been destroyed.

Researcher faults government stance

by Victor F. Zonana

LA Times- Washington Post Service

LOS ANGELES-Robcrl C. Gallo, a
co-discoverer of the human immunodey virus that causes AIDS , defended the pace of the federal govern ment's research effort into the deadly
syndrome, though in an interview
Tuesday he criticized the government's
attitude, saying, "There is not a wartime mentality ."
Gallo, on a lecture visit to Los
Angeles, was commenting on a recenty issued Congressional report entitied "AIDS Drugs: Where Are
They ?" The Committee on Government Operations report is harshly critical of the Reagan administration for
its "appalling " leadership vacuum in
the battle against AIDS.
"The committee finds the absence
of a clear mandate for urgent action in
the hig hest levels of the administration has had a direct negative impact
on the effort to develop AIDS-relatcd
drugs," the report stated.
Gallo said that scientific research is
"more or less adequately fun ' but that
red tape is to blame for delays in the
research effort.
As an example, he cited renovations
to his office and laboratory that took
more than a year to complete.
"There is no person to blame," he
said. "It is not a leader. It is the way the
situation is. It is a super-peacetime
mentality."
Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Institute
Pasteur of Paris, who codiscovered
HIV with Gallo and appeared with

him Tuesday at the World Affairs
Council , told a similar story.
"The response from the decision
makers (in the French government)
was always too late and too small,'' he
said in an interview.
The Congressional report , which
was based on hearings last April, cid
testimony by National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci in concluding
dial the government's clinical research
program into AIDS had been hampered by inadequate staffing.
Fauci testified at that time that of
127 new full-time staff positions had
requested for fiscal year 1988, he received only 11.
As a result, the report stated, of 24
drugs identified by a selection committee as "high priority ," 11 of them
were still nol in clinical trials at the
time the hearings were held.
In an interview earlier this month ,
Fauci noted that he had been gin additional resources after the Congressional
hearings.
Without providing specifics, he
added: "I have a new request in for this
year. At this point, I have not yet
gotten what I asked for."
Whenever you have a situation in
which you do not have a cure, it does
not matter what anybody does, the appearance is that we're not moving
quickly enoug h," Fauci said. "People
who do not understand clinical trials,
and the complexity .t appreciate why it
takes so long to get a trial rolling."
Nevertheless, Fauci called the gov-

Ausprich defends policy
An open letter to all Bloomsburg
University students:
Bloomsburg University has been and
continues to be committed to the
fundamental values and rights of
freedomof expression and open access
to diverse ideas, opinions , and points
of view. We encourage ongoing
dialogues on issues of concern to the
university community and society in
general.
These values are central to the
institution 's educational mission ,
which states;"it is a goal of the
university to integrate academic
programs, cultural activities , and
interpersonal relations to promote
intellectual growth and social
responsibility among its students.
The university seeks to extend the
academic environment from the
classroom into other student activities.
It strives to foster openness in
communication and involvement in
decision making through a
participatory governance structure, the
university community is committed to
the principles of personal and academic
freedom in the framework of ethical
responsibility."
In recent days , issues have arisen

causing some in the university
community to question our
commitment to these values and
beliefs.
Let me assure you personally that
we have not wavered in our resolve to
adhere to these principles. As a matter
of fact , we encourage student
involvement in the political process.
I believe, however, that there is a
need to clarif y existing university
policies and procedures in connection
with the questions that have bscn
voicedf
First, the Duplicating Services
Office may be used by any recognized
university group according to our
policy. No such group has been "denied
access" to the services provided by
Uiat office, the policy states mat access
is not available to groups who wish to
use the services for "partisan political
movements."
We cannot and do not permit public
funds to be used to support political
candidates of any party. The university
has been supported in the issuance of
this policy by our regional State System
of Higher Education attorney, who
advises that government personnel and
services should not be used to advocate

the election of a particular political
candidate.
The Mail Room policy supports this
policy. Groups that may wish to engage
in such political advocacy on campus
may have their materials for such
efforts duplicated elsewhere and
stamped for delivery th rough the
federal mail system on campus.
Second , posters announcing
speakers, times , dates, and locations
of campus organization events arc
routinely printed in the Office of
Student Activities for all recognized
student organizations. Statements on
such posters advocating election of a
particular candidate are prohibited.
I also want to assure you that our
policies and procedures arc reviewed
regularly to ensure that they arc sound
legally, educationally, and in support
of our central mission.
May I again say how deeply I feel
aboul the responsibility we have as a
univcrsiiy lo encourage open dialogues
concerning all issues so that our
students can benefit from the best
possible academic aunospherc.

Harry Ausprich

On Nov. 8, we added exactly two

This is the first time since 1982 that
women have made any gains in the

A stunning 99 percent of the 408

is if it 's already vacated or if the

This snail 's pace of capitol change

Forum rescheduled at the
inconvenience of students
by Dawn D Aries
Editor-in-Chief
Due lev the illness of President
Ausprich , the open forum has been
rescheduled for Monday , Nov. 28.
Students will have to wait another
week and one half to vent their
frustrations. Unfortunatel y, because of
the postponement of the forum, it may
be reminiscent of the open forum held
earlier this year in March.
At that forum there was seating for
125. Approximately 45 people
attended. This was the fault of apathetic
*
' - <,?*<' students; *¦. ' ¦¦¦•• •"
If attendance is low at this semester's
forum , it may be the result of clever,
rescheduling on the part of the
president 's office. As always, after a

break , almost half of the student
population won't return to Bloomsburg
until Monday night or Tuesday
morning.
The other half of the student
population will have forgotten about
the President's forum or decide Ihcy
have better things to do.
Therefore it seems debatable
whether or not the open forum will be
beneficial to students or to President
Ausprich. It might be better to have the
forum on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
There is no doubt that students arc
displeased (to put it mildly) with
university administration and policies.
However, this conclusion could not be
reached by reading the editorial page
of The Voice.

Where are the controversial letters
to the editor that question the sincerity
of BU administration? Where are the
letters about the overcrowded library
and parking concerns?
Where are the letters demanding
more interpreters for the hearing
impaired?
Where are the letters from students
who have been getting the scheduling
run-around?
The Voice is the only medium on
this campus where students who are
not members of the staff can express
their opinions to the university
community .
Don 't wai t until the forum.
Take advantage of your freedom
and write to The Voice , now.

Dear Editor,
I would like to reply to the article
printed in the Thursday, November 10
issue of The Voice regarding the
actions of some of my fra ternity
brothers in the commons on Tuesday,
November 8.
Apparendy, the person was offended
by their loudness and one particular
brother's comment.
Often, in my position, I find myself
responsible for other's actions of which
I have no control. I understand and
accept this to be part of my duties as
president.
With this in mind , I would like to
take this opportunity to apologize to

both the author and any of the commons
staff that we may have offended. This
behavior is not indicative of the
fratern ity and is not acceptable under
any circumstances.
We are sorry and will make an effort
to avoid this type of behavior in the
future.
Please do not judge my fraternity by
a single, isolated incident. I could list
dozens of positive activities which we
have been involved in throughout the
past three years.
However, I will limit the list to those
of the past three weeks. The Day Care
Center, Special Olympics, Danville
State Meftlal Hospital , Bloomsburg

University FoundaUon Phonathon, and
the recent Red Cross Blood drive have
all had very positive responses to our
involvement.
We will continue to support these
and other organizations in the future
as do other Greek and non-Greek
groups on campus.
If the author of the previous article
would care to further express his or her
opinion , please contact me at your
earliest possible convenience.

assorted religious groups , got the
support of 9.9 percent of IBM shares
voted in a meeting last April.
Its supporters said thai percentage
was higher than any other shareholderproposed rcsol ution pul before an IB M
mectinc .
IlhinklBM' sagrcalplacclowork ,
Leas said this week . "All of us arc very
happy with the company, but we are
very concerned thai IBM is continuing
to sell lo South Africa. "
Last year, IBM turned its South
African marketing subsidiary overto a
trust for its South African employees.
That company, later acquired by a
South African industrial conglomerate, continues to market a range of
IBM products and services there.
IBM contends that continued sales
arc needed lo assure the welfare s
former employees and cuslomcrs.
But critics want all sales slopped
and say the former employees now
enjoy the support of the industrial conglomerate and no longer need IBM
support.
"I feel that selling computers lo
almost exclusively white customen
South Africa gives support to die
apartheid system and makes IBM
complicit with apartheid," said Leas.
D. Quinn Mills, author of "The IBM
Lesson ," a study of the company 's
employment practices, said both IBM
and its employees tend to be unusually
involved wilh social issues.
"I'm not surprised that IBM employees would be concerned about
those kind of issues." he said.

McGrath brings music and

It was not the usual concert
atmosphere. The orchestra
members were dressed in bright ,
cheery colors, rather than the
typ ical black.
The audience was composed
not of middle age or elderl y
i n t e l l e c t u a l types , but of
rambunctious children.
With Mitrani Hall filled with
children
screaming
and
laug hing, running around and
dragg ing their parents by the
hand , it was hard to tell what to
expect. By the atmosphere alone,
it promised to be and exciting
afternoon.
And what what an afternoon it
tuned out to be. Bill Kell y of
Channel 44 opened the show.
Then the li ghts dimmed and all
sat silentl y in antici pation. The
silence was broken by a
reverberating "Hi!"
The lights went one to reveal
the familiar form of Bob , straight
from Sesame Street, runnin g on

stage with a big smile that had long
ago won the hearts of many in the
audience.
After a few songs, the phone on
stage began to ring. Bob answered
it, and the audience heard Big
Bird's voice ask to hear Sing with
Me. Later, Oscar the Grouch called
to request his favorite, ILo ve Trash.
For Kermit the Frog, Bob sang
The Rainbow Connection, while
scenes from The Muppet Movie
were shown on a screen in the
background.
Later , the screen showed slides
depicting the Revolutionary War as
the orchestra played excerpts from
Aaron Capland' s h a u n t i n g
Appalachia n Spring, and Bob
recited Longfellow 's poem , The
Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
True to the values of Sesame
Street, this historical interlude was
not the only educational portion of
the show. Bob, with the help of the
orchestra , taught the children
about the sounds of different
instruments.
It was an upbeat , energetic show,

with Bob leading the audience
through variousclapping, stamping
and singing games such as ,If you 're
Happy.
Students from Arlene Noss 's
dancing school put on wonderful
performances as everything from
bunny rabbits to bakers to circus
performers.
Bob' s boundless energy may be a
hard act to follow, but the kids kept
right up with his, as did many of the
parents, after Bob said, "Come on
parents, don't let me be the only
grown-up doing this."
It is a difficult task to keep a
bunch of children entertained for
two full hours, but Bob succeeded
easily.
After the show, he remained to
sign autographs on the posters
given to the children. Almost
everyone in the audience remained
to have their picture taken with the
performer.
The concert was
fun. The
children weren't the only ones being
taken back to Sesame Street with
smiles on their faces.

rated on how fast it got its fan s up and
dancing, S.W.A.M.M.P. would
undoubtedly rate high on the charts. .

The crowd stayed despite some small
technical difficulties wilh the sound
system, too.
The group, coming from Jamaica ,
definitely has modernized reggae,
with the new sound and reproduction
of songs from such greats as Bob
Marley, Eric Clapton and Phil
Collins-, but they emphasize a little
loo much heavy guitar, in that a
screeching solo filled in the pauses
between just about every song.
S.W.A.M.M.P. 's remakes seemed to
go o^er well, though , wilh only In the
Air Tonight sounding a bit
inappropriate with a reggae tune.
The audience members kept right on
jamming with the group long into the
night , regardless, and most seemed
to have left impressed, if they left at
all.

One thing I was accustomed to
seeing around the dorms last year was
cigarette machines. It was common
to see students purchase their
cigarettes in the lobby.
But as I walked into Montour Hall
this year I noticed something was
missing. The machines were gone. It
seemed strange that they had taken
the machines out of the building.
I assumed that it was broken , but
weeks went by and they still hadn 't
been replaced. I asked resident
director Donald Young.
They were removed from all dorms
to create a healthier environment ,

Young said. Not only would
removing the machines discourage
students from smoking, the
university had reasoned, but it was
also a step towards eliminating many
problems in dorms.
Cigarettes snuffed out in furniture
and on the floor had been common ,
and the smoke and odor contributed
to an unhealthy atmosphere.
Young pointed out that there are
many more students who don 't
smoke than who do.
The removal of the machines is a
small but si gnificant effort to
improve the living conditions and
health of Bloomsburg University
students.

Students from around the world
will share their culture during today 's International Day, sponsored
by the International Relations Club
and they are inviting everyone to join
them.
Students and some faculty will be
hosting displays representing almost
20 different countries. The Russian
Club, a new organization , will be
participating in International Day for
the' first time. The French and Spanish Clubs will also be part the program.
Countries like China, United Arab
Emirates, Iran will be displaying an
Eastern perspective. While countries
like Mexico, Peru and Paraquay will
be giving you more an inside of hnw

they are living south or this countries
border. Most of the displays will
include traditional items and traditional foods of the various countries
They will also give examples of
their language, most of which are
unfamilar to the average Bloomsburg
Universtity student.
Video displays will give a more
detailed image of various parts of the
world. A short general video about
international students and studiesat
Bloomsburg University will also be
a part of the exhibit.
The International Relations Club
tries to raise awareness in the of different countries in the Bloomsburg
University. The IRC hopes that International Day will help accomplish their goal while having fun.

Two actors from the Bloomsburg
Players productio n of A r t h u r
Miller 's A View From the Bridge ,
performed in October , have received
nominations for the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarshi p, which they will
compete for at the American Collegiate Theatre Festival (ACTF) in
Bingham ton , New York this January.
The scenic design for the same production was also nominated for a
certificate of merit in the same competition.
Theatre major ' Tony
Senior
the
received
Dictcrrick
recommendation for his role as
D avid
Eddie Carbone , and
Waterman , also a theatre major , for
his portrayal of Mr. Alficri , in A
View From the Bridge. John Wade ,
director of sccnograp hy in the theatre
department , received credit for his
set design for the production.
The competition , is "absolutely the
most prestigious college-level theatre competition in the country ," says
Director of Theatre Karen Ansclm.
According to Jody Lynn Swartz ,
pcrformencc director , if they win
Bing hamto n , they will go on lo
reg ional competition at the Kennedy
Center in Florida.
If they become one of 12 finalists ,
they will study al Chautauqua
Theatre School in New York. Al die
school , winners will study speech ,
movement and voice.
Wade 's scene design for View
utilized slide projections built by the
Players ihcmselvcs. Wade says
multi-media theatre "is the direction
in which we 're moving. "
That direction is definitely being
followed by the theatre department ,
in the Players ' current production of
The Forgotten Door (which opened

tycstcrday and runs until Sunday).
Directed by Ansclm , special slide
projections and unique set design ,
also by Wade, definitely will add
depth to a u d i e n c e members '
thcairical experi ence with The Forgotten Door.
The Forgotten Door is also entered in ACTF, as a participating
entry. Ansclm explains that there arc
two categories for entering the competition: participating and associate.
Particip ating entries have outside
educators view the production and
can go on to compete, if recommended. Associate entries do not go
on to competition , but students arc
entered for scholarshi ps, and outside
educators do sec a performance and
give criti ques to the ensemble. Student desi gners from The Forgotten
Door arc also entered in the ACTF
competition .
Bloomsburg University Director
of Theatre Karen Ansclm says they
entered View , and will enter all
future productions, into competition
bccauscwill "let people know about
us. Wc decided it would be an
excellent opportunity for ourselves ,
and our students primaril y, to benefit
form outside education. "
Swartz adds , "We 're building a
[theatre] progra m [at BU] — no one
knows wc exist. |Entering into competition] is one way to let them
know ." As well as being a great opportunity forstudents to earn scholarshi ps for graduate school and obtain
contacts , the competition will give
students something to work toward.
Swartz says, "Our students arc
ready. They need [the competition]
for their growth. " Knowing that they
;irc eli gible to com pete, Swartz says,
"[Students arc ] driving for something more."

Stubble and stvle make the swine

Gibson didn 't win with numbers

by Scott Ostler

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

It was a tense moment during the
National League playoffs and Kirk
Gibson was making his way slowly
from the on-deck circle to the batter 's
box.
He was moving in a half swagger,
half stagger, like Popcyc with a pulled
hamstring.
Up in the Dodger Stadium press
box, a writer said , "Here comes the
only player in history who will win
the MVP award for the way lie walks
to the plate."
The writer was being facetious, of
course. It is true, especially so in the
playoffs and World Scries, that every
Gibson at-bat was a theatrical event.
But a flair for the dramatic in
approaching the plate isn 't going lo
win you an MVP.
No, what swung the vote for Gibson
was the way he didn 't shave. The
stubble factor definitely doomed
Kirk's worth y yet wimpy MVP
rivals.
Simply put , Gibson won because of
the feeling among the voters that he
turned the Los Angeles Dodgers
around by infusing the team with his
caveman spirit.
He certainly didn 't win the award
with his statistics. Darryl Strawberry
had 14 more homers than Gibson and
25 more runs batted in , huge gaps.
Kevin McRcynoIds had 23 more
RBIs , was a quiet leader and played

Wrestling
Starts

The Bloomsburg University
wrestling team has been ranked 14ih
in a preseason poll by Amateur
Wre.»//«£ News, aprominent wrestling
magazine. The Huskies were one of
six Pennsylvania wrestling teams
ranked in " the too 20. Other
Pennsylvania wrestling teams, in the
top 20 include Eastern Wrestling
League members Penn State (3rd),
Edinboro (7th), Lock Haven (11th)
and Pittsburgh (12lh).
Lehigh , a member of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Association,
was ranked 17th. Bloomsburg had one
individual ranked in the top 12 in his
respective weight class. All-American
Dave Morgan , a third-place finisher at
150 pounds in last season 's NCAA
Division I Championships , was rated
third at 150. The Huskies will host the
12th-annual Bloomsburg Invitational
this Saturday, Nov. 19, starting at 9
a.m.

circles around Gibson in the outfield.
For Gibson to overcome those
numbers , the voters had to be
convinced that he had performed some
heavy attitude' adjusting in the
Dodgers' clubhouse.
As the season progressed , a lot of
the Dodger players came to resent that
growing theory, that tlicy had been a
bunch of lazy, sun-baked prima donnas
unti l Gibson arrived with his menacing
glare.
But the players didn 't rcsentGibson.
It wasn 't his theory , it was so mething
the media invented and grew
increasingly fond of.
And even the proudest Dodgers
couldn 'tdeny lhalGibson had brought
an interesting level of intensity wilh
him when he signed on as a free
agent.
In spring training, he almost had to
be sedated and caged after a teammate
put some eye-black in his cap-band as
a prank. Gibson didn 't find out who
had done it until the next day, when
he had cooled down. Otherwise he
would have set a league record for the
Jesse Orosco toss.
That wasn 't the onl y earl y
demonstration of Gibson 's attitude. I
turned on one televised spring training
game just in time to see Gibson steal
third base with a head first slide, all
but uprooting the bag with his chin.
Meaningless game? Gibson obviousl y
didn 'tknow the meaning of that term.
He plays the game with a distinctive

style. First there is the look - the
tough-guy stubble, stiff enoug h to
catch stray hot-dog wrappers; the
Dodger cap pulled down tight on his
head , as if he's about to drive some
bumpy road.
The Dodgers ' fans tuned into
Gibson 's energy level right off. I got
a letter from one fan who said he got
seats a few rows behind the Dodger
dugout one Sunday.
Gibson struck out. A few innings
later , he struck out again. Striking out
is not something that puts Gibson in a
particularl y pleasant frame of mind.
The second time Gibsos struck out ,
the fan behind the dugout decided he
would try to buck up the big guy 's
spirits with a little friend ly
encouragement , so the fan called out ,
"You 'll get 'em next time, Kirk!"
Gibson , about to disappear into the
dugout , looked up at the fan and
screamed something like, "Eat dirt ,
very bad person!"
How could the fan s help but love a
ballplayer who isn 't afraid to int eract
with them , lo share his innermost
feelings?
Ball players tend to put up a stoic
front , hiding emotions behind a cool
facade. But with Gibson around , when
the Dodgers are play ing lousy, the
fans know somebody is as teed off
and frustrated as they are.
He cares. Not that other Dodgers
don 't, but you won 't see Gibson strike
out and return his bat lo the rack as if

he were sorting mail. When he kicks
his helmet or assaults a bat rack, he
conveys to the fans the impression
that he takes the game as seriously as
they do.
So he not only won the MVP for
the way he walked to the plate and
the way he didn 't shave, he also won
for the way he slruck out.
Paul Desmond , the legendary
saxophonist , has said that when he
plays , he hopes to sound like a dry
martini.
When Gibson plays , he hopes to
play like a wet six-pack. Not that
light stuff ,either, bul the extra-foamy,
industrial-strength brine thai real men
drink after a hard day of riveting steel
girders .
Maybe Gibson just got lucky this
season. It could be that he just
happened to show up when the
Dodgers started play ing with a little
more zip and spirit.
Had they flopped , as they 'd done
the two previous seasons, Gibson 's
flashes of temperan d intensity would
have been seen as infantile , rather
than heroic. But the Dodgers won
when they had no business winning,
and we have to blame someone.
Tuesday, in a conference call wilh
reporters after the MVP award was
announced , Gibson was polite but
not very expansive. Kirk had just
returned from a hunting trip and he
probably was eager to unpack his
gear and clean his club.

Stick-swinging brawls land
questionable calls for the NHL

by j un l'isher
Staff Writer
The media is having a field day
wilh ihe National Hockey League. It
seems every time I turn on ESPN
there's a segment pertaining to
another stick swinging incident or a
bench-clearing brawl or something
like that. The National Hockey
League has been gaining popularity
here in ihe United Slates since the
days of ihe Boston Bruin dynasty in
the early 1970s. The negative press is
going to put a damper on the NHL.
Let's take a look at what has
happened so far this season. Mark
Messier of the Edmonton Oilers hit
Vancouver Canuck Rich Sutter across
thejaw with his stick. When the trainer
examined Suiter, there was tape in
his mouth. The result: Sutter loses
four teeth and the cut he received
took 35 stitches to close. Messier was
suspended for six games. The NHL
didn 't feel that it was intentional. I
believe they thoughl it was defensive.
There wasn 't a penalty on the play.
Rick Tocchet of ihe Philadelphia
Flyers , while fighting Dean
Chynoweth of the New York
Islanders, gouged Chynoweth's eye.
Chynoweth isoutforatlcastamonth.
NHL executive vice president Brian
Oneil then staled publicly that in

death threats against Shaw for the
next time the two teams meet.
Murray Craven of the Flyers scores
the game-winning goal with 13 seconds
left in the third period against the
Detroit Red Wings. Red Wings '
^
Miroslav Frycer belts Craven across
the face. Frycer received a 10-game
suspension.
If ihe NHL is going to dish out
suspensions, they have to be consistent.
Messier receives only six game
suspensions compare d to David
Shaw 's 12 games. Messier may be a
star in the league, but compared in
these type of incidents his end result
was worse.
The NHL might want to regulate the
Junior Hockey Program attentivel y.
Some of these players are 17 years old
and don 't know how to fight.
So what do they do? They use their
sticks. Most of the young players in
the NHL wear the plexiglass shield
covering their eyes.
Once an older veteran is hit by a
high-stick and a fight breaks out , the
younger player has the prelection oi
the face shield.
The NHL, to rid themselves of the
major incidents, must be consistent.
The next option for the players may
be to take perpetrators to court to lei a
judge decide punishment.

reviewing the tape of the incident,
Tocchet did not appear to intend to
injureCh ynowcth'seye.Acouplcdays
later Tocchet was suspended for 10
games.
Chicago . Blackhawk Dave Manson
fought Vancouver Canuck Dave
Bruce. While the linesmen were
separating the two, Manson kneed
Bruce in the head. Manson was
suspended for 10 games.
Philadelphia Flyer Ron Sutter skates
into the corner to check New York
Islander James Patrick. Sutter ends up
on the ice. Both men had their sticks
up but Sutler got hit in the face. Sutter
ended up with a slight concussion and
a broken jaw. Patrick received a twominute penalty . No suspension was
laid down because the league called
the incident accidental. Sutter, by the
way, is the twin brother of Rich Sutter
mentioned previously.
Ranger David Shaw retaliates
against Mario Lcmieux 's cross check
with a slash across the chest. Lemicux
lay motionless for a couple of minutes.
The Pittsburgh Penguins went nuts.
Dan Quinn immediately attacked Shaw
brandishing his stick like a sword. The
rest of the game was fight-marred.
Shaw received a 12-game suspension.
Quinn received nothing.

Athletes of

Sports Editor
Consider this.
You are in compitition wilh over
110 colleges at the start of the season to become the best in your sport
and you end up finishing second in
the nation our of all of these
schools.
That is what Bloomsburg University did in Held hockey this year
as they finished second to Trenton
State. But do not consider that as a
defeat , for anyone thai say the
championship game last weekend
can testify dial this learn had the
guts, drive , and determination lo
win the national title. The Huskies
came back twice in that game with
one goal coming wilh only six
minutes left in regulation .
When you think of the field
hockey team do not think of them as
second rate because this is nol the
case. Think of the tremendous season thai they had. Remember their
undefeated PSAC record including
an exciting 2-1 victory over East
Stroudsburg , a 1-0 victory over
then number one ranked Kutztown
in double overtime. Remember the
PSAC championships wilh 1-0
victories over East S iroudsburg and
Kutztown
thereby
giving
Bloomsburg iwo wins over both
learns during the year. And remember victories over Salisbury State
and Ithaca , the only iwo schools
oilier than Bloomsburg and Trenton to win the NCAA Division III
Championship.
When you think of ihe field
hockey team think of the tri-captians and onl y seniors of the team ,
Alicia Terrizzi , Cindy Hurst, and
Michelle Carcarcey. Remember
Terrizzi with her excellent bal l
handling and passing. Remember
Hurst wilh her goal scoring ability
and leadership qualities. Remember Carcarcey, who always seemed
to be were the ball was. Also remeber lhat these three seniors
helped this program to th ree
straight championshi p games, ihey
will be missed.
When you think of the field
hockey team think of juniors Sharron Reilly, Betsey Warmerdam ,
Daneen Fero, Kathy Frick , and
Sandy Goucher. Remember Reilly
the team leading scorer. Remember
Warmardam and her excellent defensive ability. Remember Fero
with her powerful shots from outside the circle and her crisp passing.
Remember Frick for constantly
intercepting passes. Remember
Goucher for breaking up many
plays. And remember that they will
be back next year.
When you think of the field
hockey team think of sophomores
April Kolar, Susie Slocum , and
Chrisley Gibson. Remember Kolar
for her goal saving ability. Remember Slocum for her assists. And
remember Gibson who could come
in and substitute at any time and
always contribute.
When you think of the field
hockey team think of the freshmen ,
who have already contributed so
much to the team. Remember
Gisela Smiih , who was consistent
in her defensive play all year.
Remember Trudy Horst, who did
not play like a freshman at all.
When you think of the field
hockey team think of the dedicated
coaching staff of Jan Hutchinson ,
Sharon O'Keefe, and Lynn Hurst.
Without them , all the talent in the
world would not win like this team
does.
When you think of the field
hockey learn think of anyone I
failed to mention in this column
because any role player can tellyoii
that they give just as much in practice as any other player and are
usually your hard est players.
When you think of the field
hockey team think of them as Student Ath letes of the Week.

Huskies seek division
title in 1988-89 season

The return of 10 of Ihe 14 players
from last season 's club and th addition
of two talented players who missed
the 1987-88 campaign should have the
Bloomsburg University men 's basketball learn looking lo challenge for
the Pennsy lvania Conference Eastern
Division top spot again this season.
The club , which has never had a losing
record under veteran coach Charlie
Chronister , posted an 18-9 mark a year
ago, the school's 22nd-consecutive
winning season. The Huskies open the
1988-89 season against PitiJohnstown in the opening round of the
Si. Vinccni College tournament at 8
p.m. on Friday, Nov . 18.
Two starters musi be replaced , but a
solid nucleus of experienced players
who have spent iwo or three years in
the program are the base on which
Chronister will build. In addilion , the
Huskies , who finished the season
ranked fourth among NCAA Division
II teams in rebounding margin , will
have adequate size lo threaten lhat
mark with six players on the roster
listed at 6'6" or better. The Huskies
pulled down 44.1 rebounds per contest compared to theiropponents ' 35.6
average last season.
"We have a lot of people who now
what to expect, and I' m pleased with
the results of the off-season conditioning program ," said Chronister , who
takes a record of 300-158 into the
season. "Some players have gotten
stronger and added some meaningful
pounds. There is a group of eight or
nine players that deserve and will gel
quality minutes on the floor."
Senior Alex Nelcha of Caracas,
Venezuela , figures to be the Huskies'
starting center and will be counted on
to supply a lot of the rebounding and
inside scoring for the Huskies in his
final season with the club. He suffered
a broken foot on the first day of practice last season, which forced him to
miss ;the first eight games of the season, but returned to average 9.5 points
per game and 6.5 rebounds. Nelcha
was the team 's leading shooter form
the floor connecting on 68 of 126 field
goal attempts, a percentage of 54.0.
He is a three-year starter who has allconference potential . Nelcha will
move into the middle from one of the
forward spots to replace the team 's
leading rebounder, Matt Wilson , who
averaged 10.3 p.p.g. and 8.6 rebounds
in his senior season.
A pair of veterans, sophomore
Craig Phillips of Washington, D.C.,
and junior Dave CarpenterofOreland ,
could flank Nelcha at the forward
spots. Phillips earned a starting role in
his initial season with the squad and
enjoyed as fine a rookie year as any
ever at Bloomsburg. He had the second-hi ghest scoring average on the
team averaging 11.7 p.p.g. and 6.3
rebounds.
In addition , he led the team in steals
with 42 and was second in the assist
department with a total of 31 and was
second in number of minutes played.
If he becomes more consistent wilh
the three-point shot, he will be a threat
to make something happen from anywhere on the floor. Carpenter has had
experience in a starting role as well as

coming oil the bench in his two seasons wilh the Huskies. A year ago, he
averaged 5.8 p.p.g. and 6.4 rebounds
while being one of onl y four players to
play in all 27 games. For ihe Huskies
to maintain the strong inside game
they possessed a year ago , Carpente r
will have to have his best season to
date. His scoring and rebounding productivity could go hand in hand with
the club' s success.
The return of junior Bill Connelly of
Absccon , N.J., should hel p offset the
loss of lasl year 's leading scorer,
guard Joe Stcpanski. Connell y was an
all-conference first team selection as a
sophomore while averaging 16.3
p.p.g. and pulling down 3.7 rebounds
per game. He is very explosive offensivel y and finds a way lo put points on
the board . Two years ago lie established new Bloomsburg records for
free throws made and attempted in a
season as well as ticing a sing le-game
standard for three-point field goals.
He must improve his play at the defensive end of the floor if the Huskies
hope to force the tempo of the games
with pressure.
One of the team 's better athletes ,
Dallas Wilson of Wyandanch , N.Y.,
started lo come on strong late last
season and could challenge for a starting berth. He can play a wing posilion;
however, he can play on the inside
when necessary. Wilson averaged 6.6
p.p.g. and 2.8 rebounds. He could be
one of the pleasant surprises of the
upcoming season if his stamina and
defense continue to improve. Another
pair of veterans, senior Steve MclchiorofLansdale , Pa., and junior Kyle
Miller of Easl Stroudsburg will also
provide front line hel p. Mclchior
gives ihe club a steady, experienced
performer who averaged 4.0 p.p.g.
and 2.4 rebounds in 209 games a year
ago, while Miller may have improved
as ;much as anyone in the off-season
after contributing 1.6 p.p.g. and 1.3
rebounds in 12 contests.
A pair of newcomers add even more
to the Huskies' inside attack. Forward
Rob Gluck of Quakcrtown and center
Chris Parker of Roslyn should sec
ample playing time in their freshman
seasons. Bolh come from solid high
school programs.
The versatility of Phillips and Connelly will allow them to play at a wing
position making it possibly the strongest area on the floor for the Huskies.
Senior Jim Higgins of Phoenixville ,
who joined the squad in mid-season
last year, averaged 8.2 p.p.g. and 2 .9
rebounds in the 18 games he played
and could start on the one side. Higgins can score from the perimeter as
well as take the ball to the basket
making him a threat to score in a hurry .
Senior Greg Thomas of Carlisle,
who sat out the last two campaigns due
lo a knee injury , could be a huge help
to the club if he can make a successful
return. MikeSimpkins of Norristown,
who missed last season , adds even
more experience and talent to an already strong area. Thomas averaged
8.6 and 4.2 p.p.g., respectively, as a
freshman and sophomore , while
Simpkins scored 7.3 p.p.g. two years
ago.

The team 's biggcsl question mark
entering ihe 1988-89 season is who
will fill the point guard position vacated by the departure of Stcpanski.
Several of the wing players , especially
Philli ps, have the ability to make the
move if necessary , but Chronister is
counting on the development of
sophomores Kevin Reynolds of BcthIcthcm and Bob Coppolino of Philadelphia. The duo spcnl time behind
Stcpanski last season with Reynolds
seeing time in 23 contests and Coppolino play ing in 17 of ;fhc Huskies' 27
games. Reynolds averaged 6.8 p.p.g.,
and Coppolino chipped in 2.8 per
contest. Both arc outstanding free
throw shooters as evidenced by Reynold' s 86.8 pcrcenlperformancc at the
line and Coppolino 's 95.0 percent
effort. Reynolds appears to be the
better long-range shooter making him
more of a th ree-point threat where he
shot 47.4 percent last season. If the
duo advanced as much as Chronister
had hoped , both could sec a lot of
action wilh the up-tempo offensive
pace and the stunting defense the
Huskies intend to employ this season.
"We appear to be relatively quick in
spots, but I' m concerned about our
overall team quickness ," said Chronister. "As I said , we plan on using more
people, so we won 't be relying on one
or two people to have big games every
night out. There are a number of players capable of making big plays, but
we'll be as balanced as we have been
in the past."
Two areas upon which the Huskies
must improve over last season 's performance arc in ball handling and foul
shooting. The squad combined for an
average of 17.1 turnovers per contest
and made 68.3 percent of its free
throws.
Just four of the first eleven games
will be played in the Huskies ' Nelson
Fieldhouse, so if they hope to duplicate last season 's 10-2 start they will
have to show success on the road in the
early going.

In only two years as head coach , Joe
Brcssi has led his team to its second
consecutive Pennsylvania Conference Championship playoff berth as
well as setting a school record for
victories with a.21-6 record the past
season.
"Hopefull y, wc will keep building
the winning traditic.i. Wc have good,
experienced starters coming back ,"
Brcssi said. "It was a good recruiting
year which should add more depth to
the team."
Leading the team will be the Huskies ' four-year starter Theresa
Lorcnzi of Weston. She was the leading point-scorer for the club last season with 618 points bringing her career total to 1,623 and making her the
all-time high scorer in Bloomsburg
history.
Returning, along with Lorcnzi , will
be second-year starter Nina Alston of
Bcrwyn. Alston , chosen several times
during the past season as the ECAC
Rookie of the Week, led the team in
three-pint field goals with 27. She also
made 51 of 65 free throw attempts for
a percentage of 78.5. She scored 334
points in the season for an average of
12.8 points per game.
The Huskies will also depend upon
the experience and skills of seven
oilier returning players. Sophomores
Donna Cooper of Harrisburg, Barb
Hall of Turbotvillc , Sandy Herr of
Jonestown , Becky Pigga of Dunmore,
Chris Sims of Camp Hill , Elaine Wolf
of New Oxford , and junior Karen
DeLullo of Williamsport, will add
maturity and strength lo the lineup.
Hall had 203 points for an average
of 8.8 points per game and was the
team 's leading rebounder for the past
season with a total of 187, an average
of 8.1 per game. Cooper had 134 total
rebounds for an average of 5.4 per
game. Hall and Cooper were the Huskies' high reboundcrs in all but eight
of ihe club' s 27 games.
Pigga, who saw limited playing
time last season due to injuries , should
return as a solid performer. She had 22
steals, 21 assists and connected on 27
of 44 free throw attempts and averaged 3.1 points per game in the past
season. She is joined by Herr who
made 81.3% of her free throw attempts and averaged 3.1 points per
game.
DeLullo, the only returning junior ,
made 38 of 57 free throws last season
and averaged 3.1 points per game. She
also had 13 assists and 24 steals for the
Huskies and is one of the top defensive
players.
Wolf and Sims, who contributed
last season, should make more of a

contribution in n the upcoming season. Wolf completed 61.7% of her
free throw shots , had 22 steals and
averaged 5.6 points per game. She was
also the only freshman to play in all of
't he team 's 27 games making 11 of 17
ficld»goal attcmpLs and averaging 2.5
points per game.
The depth and experience of the
returning players should be enhanced
by six incoming freshmen. All-State
players Kathy McGuire of Dunmore,
Michelle Simon s of Camp Hill and
Simons ' teammate, Leslie Seitzinger
of Girardvillc , along with Carol
Wysocki of Seven Valleys, should
contribute to the speed and size of the
team. Harrisburg area Big 15 athletes
Bcrnadctlc Nedham of Harrisburg and
Tamika Howard of Harrisburg, add to
the defensive prowess and shooting
ability of the club.
"We've proven we can be a contender in the conference, but it won't
be too easy to sneak up on anyone this
year," Brcssi said. "It will be tougher
lo repeat as division champ ions because of the parody in the league. New
coaches for some of the teams help the
conference lo keep getting better and
better. We also made some schedule
changes and picked up some tougher
teams, but it should make us a betterteam in the long run."
Bloomsburg will open its season
Nov. 18 at the Immaculata Tournament against the host team, the Mighty
Macs of Immaculata.
