Reporters recall Kennedy
tragedy after 25 years
by Thomas Collins

LA Times-Washington Post Service

The White House reporters who
accompanied John F. Kennedy to
Dallas found themselves covering the
biggest story of their lives, but in the
first chaotic hours after the president
had been hit they could report onl y
raw, sometimes unverified information to a world hanging on every word .
The centra l question-was Kennedy
dead or alivc?-remaincd officially
unanswered while reporters frantically pleaded with White House aides ,
nurses, priests and doctors at Parkland
Hospital for a report on his condition.
Bob Clark of ABC News, who was
in the pool car in the motorcade , while
it passed under the Texas School
Book Depository building just as the
shots were fired , recalls Secret Service men at the hospital giving three
different answers to the question.
One said he was still alive, another
said he had died , and the third said he
didn 't know.
"There was no central place to go
for information ," Clark recalled. The
police tried to to be helpful , but there
was nothing they could do. They didn 't
know whether there was just one
gunman or whether it was a consp iracy. They couldn 't answer the fusillade of questions that were being fired
at them."
Therehadbecn unofficial statements
that Kennedy was dead , one from a
priest who administered the last rites,
another from an unattributcd local radio
bulletin .
Finally, Malcolm Kilduff , the No.
3 man in the White House press office
at the time , ended the speculation that
had hung in the air for almost an hour
by announcing to reporters at the scene
that Kennedy was dead.
Ironically, the outside worl d knew
that something terrible had happened
before most of the correspondents on
the spot were aware .
United Press International' s Mcrriman Smith had sent the first bulletins
after commandeering the only telephone in the pool car and grappling
with Jack Bell of The Associated
Press to keep possession of it. In one
bulletin , he said that Kennedy had
been shot, "perhaps fatally." (Both
Smith and Bell are now dead. Smith
won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage.
Bell, it is said, never got over the
incident.)
Two busloads of reporters, however, had continued to the Trade Mart,
where Kennedy had been due to speak
at a luncheon , and were out of touch
with events.
"Practically everybody knew what

was happening except us, said
Douglas Kikcr of NBC News, who
was a brand-new White House reporte r for the New York Herald Tribune at the time. It was his first out-oftown presidential trip.
Twenty-five years later, sequence
and limes arc sometimes blurred , be
individual impressions and recollections of those who covered the slory
remain as fresh as yesterday.
Kikcr recalls Marianne Means of
the Hearst papers announcing to the
group at the Trade Mart that Kennedy
had been shot, and the stampede to get
to the hosp ital. Means had gotten the
word when she routinely checked in
with her New York office.
ABC' s Clark remembers rushing
from the pool car up to the Kennedy
limosinc shortly after it pulled up to
the hospital. The presidential party
was still inside.
"The scene was frozen ," he said ,
while everyone wailed for stretchers
lobe brought. Kennedy was "stretched
out in the back scat with his head in
Mrs. Kennedy 's lap with his head half
way down but not so you could sec a
wound. Jackie was silting with her
hands on his head , staring and saying
nothing. " There were no signs of life
in Kennedy.
When the shots had been fired and
the motorcade sped off , the car carrying the pool photograp hers had
dropped out , attracted by the commotion of the crowd lining the route.
"That 's why there aren 't any pictures
of him at Parkland Hospital," Clark
said.
Theprincipal emotions thatday were
confusion and disbelief. "We could
hardly believe that something like that
could happen ," said Tom Wicker, a
New York Times columnist who was
the paper 's White House correspondent at the time. "Nobody living had
lived through the McKinley assassination. "
In a book , On Press, Wicker wrote:
"I know no reporter who was there
who has a clear and orderly picture of
that surrealistic afternoon; it is still a
matter of bits and pieces thrown hastily into something like a whole."
Reporters had to rel y on instinct; there
was no time to check and doublecheck information.
Kiker and Wicker wound up that
evening sharing an office at the Dallas
airport , writing their stories after Air
Force 1 had left with now-President
Lyndon B. Johnson , Mrs. Kennedy
and the dead president aboard .
"I'd write a page of copy and call it
in to New York and Tom would take a
page and dictate it," Kiker said.
Wicker 's account was printed in ex-

tra-large type and his byline on it is the
largest in the history of the Times'
front page.
The press had gotten one of its best
briefings that day fro m Sid Davis ol
Wcstinghouse B roadcasling, who had
been a pool reporter who witnessed
the swearing-in ceremony aboard Air
Force 1.
"Somebody picked me up and put
mc on the trunk of a car used in the
motorcade," said Davis, who is now
with the Voice of America after serving several years as NBC Washington
bureau chief. "I was apprehensive ," he
recalled. "I wanted to make sure I gol
as much detail as possible. If I got
something wrong, I would be marked
for the rest of my life."
Two days later , similar thoug hts
were going through Ike Pappas mind.
He found himself in the crowded basement of the Dallas City Hall when
Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald.
He had dropped to a crouch when
Ruby fired , fearful of getting caught in
a crossfire. "I said to myself, if you
ever say anything into a mike, say it
now. Don 't freeze. This is history," he
recalled in an interview.
Pappas, formerl y of CBS News, was
with WNEW radio in New York at the
time. He continued broadcasting, it is
his voice you hear on some of the
videotapes of the scene, describing the
shooting and the struggle with Ruby
for the gun.
There were between 30 and40 from
the White House press corps on the
scene,but hundreds more soon arrived
from news organizations all over the
world. For the next four days, many of
those covering the ceremonial aftermath of the death in Dallas stifled their
emotions and concentrated on doing a
professional job on what they, along
with the rest of the country, felt as a
personal loss.
"I think we were all traumatized ,"
said UPI's Helen Thomas, who covered the arrival of Air Force 1 at
Andrews Air Force Base the night of
the assassination. She remembers
dictating her story with tears streaming down her face. "But you still had to
compartmentalize," she said. "Wc all
realized youcouldn 'tg ive way to your
sadness."
James Dcakin, now retired fro m the
St. Louis Post Dispatch , remembers
weeping at the sight of Caroline Kennedy lifting a corner of the flag over
Kennedy 's casket "to see what was
underneath ," as he lay in state in the
Capitol Rotunda.
"A lot of people think we lost our
soul in Vietnam ," Deakin said , "but I
think a good part of it was lost when
Kennedy was killed ."

Boarding home owner caught
after bodies are found in lawn

by Pete r 11. King

LA Times-Washington I' nst Service

SACRAMENTO , Calif. -Rank ,
overly sweet, unforgettable , the smell
rose up from Dorothea Montalvo
Pucntc 's garden like fog and lingered
in her boarding house like a ghost. She
tried to steam it out. She tried to bleach
it out. She attacked it with gallons of
wate r and sacks of lime , with cans of
leinon-sccntcd aerosol and even with
(h h emulsion.
Pucnic told a friend that dead rats
were decaying beneath the old two
storey house. She told her boarders
that backed-up sewers were to blame.
Last week , after seven bodies had
been excavated from Pucntc's wellkept gardens , after the throngs had
thinned from in front of the pastel blue
Victorian , the people who knew
Dorothea Montalvo Pucntc wouldoffcr
the stench as but one of several clues
that had been there all along as signposts on a macabre trail of death .
And yet until this month , indications that something was amiss thcreor had been misread or written off as
harmless eccentricities , a fac t that
speaks to the shecraudacity of Pucntc 's
alleged undertakings , to the social
anonymity of its luckless victims and ,
perhaps most of all , to the eni gma
presented by the suspect herself , a
well-dressed , soft-spoken woman with
the demeanor of a grandmother and
the rap sheet of a felon.
"I didn 't kill anybody, " Pucntc told
a television news crew last week after
her arrest. She said it sweetl y, evenly,
peering straight into the camera .
What Homer Myers reflects on now
isallthcdigging hcdidin histwoyears
at Pucntc 's place. He also wonders
how close he came to winding up in a
hole himself.
"I was just wondering how lucky I
am ," the 74-ycar-old pensioner said
happily the other night. "Especially if
persons did come and go the way they
(the police) say they did."
Myers, a stocky old man , had moved
out of Pucntc 's house about a week
before the corpses were discovered.
He said that Puentc became furious
with him for failing to p ick up Christmas decorations , and he took that as
his cue.
Nonetheless, Myers had rather enjoyed his stay at the house, even though
a lot of spade work had been required
in die garden.
There had been the hole for an apricot tree, and Myers now recalls wondering at the lime why it needed to be
4 fee t deep. There had been trenches
to replace a stopped sewer line , or at
least that was how the awful smell had
been explained to him.
Myers had met Pucntc in a downtown bar: "I walked in , sat beside her
and she recommended herself."
He paid Pucntc $350 a month for a
private downstairs bedroom and two
hot meals a day , breakfast and an early
dinner. The boarders would cat around

a small formica table in the upstairs
kitchen. Other than that they were
welcome upstairs by invitation only.
1 Except for John McCauley, the
handyman who was arrested last week
as a potential accomplice and then
released. McCauley slept upstairs in a
bedroom near the back staircase.
Another house rule was that no one
but Pucnte was permitted to pick up
the morning mail. Also, no liquor was
allowed , although Puente herself kept
a well-stocked bar.
Until the fight over Christmas decorations , Myers said that the only friction between himself and Puente occurred when she would pressure him
to sign papers empowering her to cash
his Social Security checks.
"I just never signed them ," he said.
"I just passed it off."
Puentc did not come as a stranger
last Thursday when she entered a
Sacramento courtroom to be accused
formally of murdering Alvaro Montoya , also known as Bert.
Her past encounters with the law
were well-documented: a 1948 conviction for forgery, a 1960 conviction
for residing in a brothel.
In 1978shewas convicted forcrimes
described in a subsequent parole report: "For approximately three years,
the defendant , while operating a Board
and Care facility in Sacramento, secured U.S. Treasury checks from her
residents and cashed them."
She was placed on probation for
five years and ordered to receive
pyschiatric treatment. A psychiatrist
diagnosed her as a chronic schizophrenic , "a very disturbed woman ."
The records show that in 1979 she
was accused by doctors of poisoning a
roommate. Puente complied with her
parole officer 's suggestion and moved
out. In 1982 she was convicted of a
series of robberies in which she doped
her elderly victims.
"Each of the four victims were vulnerable, particularly vulnerable," the
judge said as he sentenced Puente to
five years in state prison. "Three of the
victims were respectfully 74, 82 and
83 years of age."
She served three years.Paroled, she
was instructed not to work with or
"handle government checks of any
kind issued to others."
The paper trail jumps forward to
Nov. 4 and a missing-persons report
to police by a social worker. A client
named Alvaro Montoya, described as
a mentally disabled man whom Puente
boarded and acted as payee for his
Social Security checks, had not been
seen for three months. Efforts to contact him produced only alibis: Bert
was sick; he was headed for Utah; he
was in Mexico.
A few days later, thepatrolmen made
inquiries among the boarders . One
confided that he was under instructions from Puente to lie about Bert's
whereabouts. A secret discussion ensued at a prearranged corner, and later

was recorded in the officer s handwritten report.
It concluded:"Sharp also advised
that suspspect has had some large holes
dug in the back yard over the past three
months because of 'sewer problems.'
The holes have been filled in since and
concrete poured over some of them ,
according to Sharp. I contacted (a
detective) in homicide and advised
him of the information. He was familiar with the suspect and has had similar reports about her in the past."
The digging began Nov. 11. After
three hours the first remains had been
found. Puente could be seen peering
down into the hole herself.
About an hour before the second
corpse was discovered, Puen te told
officers that she wanted to visit a cousin
who worked at a hotel a block away. A
police detective escorted her and the
handyman , McCauley, past the curious throng to the corner.
Four hours later, it was clear that
Puente had decided not to come back
at all. When McCauley returned alone,
police rushed to the hotel and searched
unsuccessfully for theirprime suspect.
Four day s and five bodies after she
fled , Puente would be arrested in Los
Angeles. She was caught after a 59year-old man she met at a bar remembered her face from television reports.
Puente was flown back on a corporate jet chartered by a Sacramento
television station. As a police detective sat at her side, she denied killing
anyone but admitted that ,"!cashed the
checks, yes."
It was proving difficult to determine how long the bodies had been in
the ground and what had killed them.
So far, none of the corpses has been
identified; these were not the sort of
people to be missed.
A coroner's investigator said that
normally investigators receive 600
calls on a single unidentified murder
victim within 24 hours. By Friday, in
the case of the seven bodies found on
F Street, there had been six.

Student cites flaws in administrative policy

To the Univer sity community:
I ask you to re-read the words of Dr.
Ausprich as expressed in his open lettei
inTVze Voice, Thursday,November 17,
in light of the accompanying
photograph (see pg. 3).
This poster , many other signs printed
and distributed throughout campus ,
and the rally i tself came to be only
through the use of university services
and facilities , i.e.. Pa. Right-to-Life .
This took place less than two weeks
before the genera '; election , and two
days after the administration ruled that
the BU Young Democrat s, an official
on-campus organization , could not
avail itself of similar services to
communicate campaign information
to its own club members .

Why? We 're told that "public funds"
cannot be used to advocate the politica
agenda or candidates of any party.
Dr. Ausprich , is the administration
of our university so naive as to think
that a Right-to-Life PAC, holding a
rally just before the elec tion and
featuring a "special message from
George Bush ," has no political agenda
does not advocate the election of a
candidate of a particular political party?
We think not. (We hope not!)
Rather , it seems clear that the
university 's sign-making service ,
duplicating service , and mail-room
services may or may not be used
depending upon the political views
and whims of the director of the
particular service.

All we re asking for is a degree of
consistency and uniformity in the
policy regarding a student
organization ' s, access to university
services. Any student organization —
political, religious, cultural , academic,
and yes , even a social fraternity or
sorority — has an agenda of ideas, and
maybe even ideals, at the core of its
existence as a student group. As we
see it , the administration must decide
on one of three clear options governing
the use of university services by such
student groups:
(i) insure equal access for ALL
student organizations , regardless of
agenda ,
(ii) comp letel y deny access to
sign-printing, duplicating, and mail-

Tenure concerns examined

To the Editor:
The recent article on the two current
tenure denial challenges { The Voice ,
Monday. November 14) was much
needed and long overdue. Though there
is no doubt that students are keenl y
interested in seeing a poor instructor
removed from his or her position , we
must also be interested in seeing that
quality instructors are retained here at
Bloomsburg.
I was extremely surprised to hear
that Dr. Brian Johnson , president of
APSCUF. said that he doesn 't see
reasons to make drastic changes in the
tenure procedures. While it may be a
good system overall , it still allows
some of his colleagues , like Dr. Carole
Reifsteck. to be victimized. In cases
like hers , in my op inion , the system
fails miserably.
Hers is a case in which all criteria for
performance review and evaluation
were easily met and well known , yet
she is now out of a job. Because the
music d e p a r t m e n t chairperson
recommended tenure denial , she can

not appeal. This is despite the fact that
the university-wide tenure committe e
recommended tenure for her.
When Stephen C. Wallace , music
Department Chairman , stated in his
tenure report to President Ausprich
that "Though it is a fact that my
(previous) evaluations of Carole ' s
work would seem to be assessed as
'positive endorsements'. . . ", clearly,
a red flag should have gone up. This is
where the system failed.
Despite Dr. Reifsteck' s positive
evaluations by both peers and students
for four years, despite unsubstantiated ,
last minute out-of-the-blue allegations
by Wallace , despite the fact that
Wallace and members of the music
department tenure committee were all
males , two of which had not even
earned their doctorates , despite cries
of sexual discrimination and foul play
from students , professors and retire d
professors outside of the department ,
no investi gation ever took place and
Dr. Reifsteck' s side of the story was
never heard.

I personall y talked to President
Ausprich about this matter, and he told
me that he had to let the system work.
But in the Obutelewicz tenure case,
both the department tenin c committee
and the department chairper son
recommended tenure and President
Ausprich , who has the final decision ,
denied tenure , against departmental
wishes. I ask you , what is the system
that is being allowed to work? It seems
to me that fli pping a coin may work
just as well.
I think that it is time for a change and
I think that the students should be
involved in tenure decisions so that
another quality professor is not
railroaded out of a job.
I' m sure that this is wishful thinking,
judg ing from the recent response to
student concerns from the
administration , but what affects the
faculty affects the students and we
should all be working toward making
Bloomsburg University the best it can
be.
Mike Hoover

room services to ALL student
organizations , or
(iii) single out student political
organizations as having no place and
no function on this campus. Ban all
student political groups from BU.
Dr. Ausprich' s conflicting claim s
that "wc e n c o u r a g e s t u d e n t
involvement in the political process "
but that posters and duplication of
materials "advocating the election of a
particular candidate are prohibited"
leave us in a ludicrous Catch-22.
A student political group that can ' t
say anything political? You 're
effectivel y choosing the third option
listed above , Dr. Ausprich.
To clari fy a couple of other points .
. . no one is under the delusion that
campaign information produced bv .

and clearly identified as the advocacy
of, the BU Young Democratssomehow
constitutes endorsement of this
position by the University. So, wherc 's
the legal problem? Furthermore , our
use of campus services in the past has
always involved payment for materials
out of club funds , not "public funds. "
As students , the members of the
Young Democra ts have onl y a single
chance during their undergraduate
years to become involv ed in a
presidential campaign.
That opportunity now past , we are
resentfu l to an administrati on that has
obstructed our ability to carry out our
*
function.
This resentment extends now to the
manner in which the administration
has chosen to respond to what we

clearly feel has been a violation of our
ri g hts as a student organization: no
personal response to club members,
no call for a meeting to resolve the
issue, only an open letter in The Voice
that can only be viewed as a belated
attempt at "damage-control. "
Our simple appeal now is to insure
that the Young Democrats , Young
Republicans , Young Whalcvcrs of
1992 will find an environment and an
administration here at BU mat , if not
encourages involvement in the political
process , at'lcasl tolerates it.
Sadly, desp ite the words of Dr .
Ausprich , such an environment is not
the reality of 1988.

Some perspective on where we are now and where we have come f r om

by Melissa S. Menapace
Features Editor
A n n i v e r s a r i e s are times to
remember , to look back. Looking back
gives us perspec tive on where we are
now and where we have come from.
Tuesday is the 25th anniversary of the
assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.
I was thinking about what that event
meant for our parents ' generation , and
what Kennedy has come to stand for ,
when someone pointed out to me that
this week also marks a year since the
infamous Bloomsburg "riot" (it 's not
really worth di gnif y ing with the term
anniversary;.
The two occasions have nothing to
do with each other.
One commemorates a man who gave
much and the other is a reminder of an
act of extreme self-centeredness and

selfishness. I' m not even comfortable
putting the near sacred and the profane
in the same paragraph.
But the timing of the two
anniversaries could be cause for fruitful
reflection. Kennedy is widely credited
with sparking an active , idealistic
generation of young people. Even
though they have been hi ghly
romanticized , some of them are a fine
example to us. They had an awareness
of the world and their place in it that
many of us lack.
Even if we do know what is going on
in the world we often do not apply that
knowledge to our lives or we just block
it out.
Apathy runs wild while Rome burns.
Those that really strike me are the
ones who really owned their decisions
and their actions. Their actions had a
purpose. They were aware of the

consequences and accepted them.
So many people saw the challenges
and problems around them and
accepted the responsibility to try to do
something about them , even if it was
difficult. Or a least they had an
awareness of how various situations
affected their lives and thought about
how to react.
I think of young women who braved
everything from insinuations about
their sexuality to open threats about
going into majors and professions not
traditionall y open to women , thereby
getting feet into doors that we are nowopening even wider.
I think of the hundreds of college
students from mostl y white , affluent
Eastern schools who went to the deep
South in the "Freedom Summer "
during the late 60s to work for civil
richts. This was not a summer at the

shore. Some of them died. They left
situations as comfortable as for in some
cases, more comfortable than) ours ,
because they believed it was something
worth working for.
Some of the same people were
involved in riots , real riots. Riots
complete with dogs , gas. guns , and
blood.
Watch television footage of
Birming ham , or Watts , or the chaos
after students took over buildings at
Columbia University. Read Meridian ,
Alice Walker 's fictionalized account
of that time and , I suspec t, herself.
In the book , a group of townspeople
pull a young girl away from the
protection of the main character during
a demonstration that turns in to a riot ,
and force the girl to drink ammonia.
Compared to that , what happened in
Bloomsburg last year is a temper-

Young people afraid of taking risks

I was too young to vote for Jack
Kennedy. He was my generation 's
older generation. But when I think of
him on this anniversary, Nov . 22, 1 still
think of youth. His , mine , America 's.
I spent the Kennedy years in college
and I can attest to the fact that not
every young person during that lime
asked what he or she could do for his
or her country . But it is true that
Kennedy called us and we heard that
call.He made us understand that he
and the country has expectations and
even ne-eds for our public service.
As young people , we were wanted .
And that was no smal l thins.
Now I am older than Jack Kenned y
was when he was killed. The younger
generation to-day, we are told , is not
much interested in service , except the
kind you find in the modern
marketplace : self-service.
I spent an afternoon this month at
UCLA with Alexander Astin , who runs
the annual college freshman surveys.
The major trend culled fro m his
computer , he says with much regret ,
has been a "very strong materialistic
tendency among students.
They are more preoccupied with
money, power , status and less
concerned with serving society."

His data fits the stereotype of youth
on a fas t track to materialism , a
generation that only gets worked up
about aerobics. It is in sync with a
cartoon from last commencement
season that showed two college
students crossing a campus. One is
saying to the other, "This is incredible,
do you know that I, too, want as much
as I can get as fast as I can get it. "
But if there is a difference in the
degree of engagement in public life
and public issues among today 's young
— and I think there is — it 's not that
some spiritual flaw , some epidemic of
narcissism , some warped sense of
values has infested this generation.
Nor has idealism and the urge to create
a better community atrophied.
If the young are preoccupied with
"money, power , status ," it may be
because they haven 't been offered any
better set of goals. By us. It may be
because nobody in the current older
generation , no leader President, hero ,
has really called them to serve. Not the
way Kennedy did.
This has been the decade of feelgood patriotism. All we had to do for
our country was to get goosebumps
v/hen we heard the "Star Spangled
Banner " playing. The best and the

brightest have been told by inference
that the private sector is where the
action is. The young in turn listen to
any call to public service with a more
sophisticated , even cynical , ear than
we had. At least before we had
experienced the death of the first
Kennedy, then King, then the second
Kennedy, then Vietnam and
Watergate .
They have , among other things ,
much less certainty about the good of
doing good, especially on a large scale.
Wipe out a disease and you may face
the problems of overpopulation. Clear
a jungle and you may endanger a
species or a culture .
i n e young, Domrj araea witn
ambiguities, seem to prefer a sure thing.
Those who want to help are more
likely to choose the soup kitchen and
the shelter , places where there is little
moral risk of going wrong.
At the same time these in-between
years have been marked by greater
attention to private life. We judge each
other, we judge ourselves — and even
this fallen President — by how we
behave at home as well as in the
community .
We have become wary of people
who dedicate themselves to public

service while neglecting their private
circle.
Americans have upped the ante on
what makes a good person and a good
life. We are now supposed to save the
world and be home for supper. As
personal lives have become much more
complex and challenging , they too
siphon some of the energ y from public
service.
But I believe the impulse to belong
to something larger is very' much alive
among the young. Indeed , they seem
melanchol y at the absence of a public
life . I have heard many search for
something more engaging than a good
job or a VCR.
What is missing, if the word were
not so open to ridicule , may be
idealism.
I wish I knew what Jack Kennedy
would have made of all this , how he
would have crafted his call in the '80s,
because he would have called and he
was a fine craftsman.
But it 's left to those of us who were
his younger generation , his sometimes
disillusioned human legacy, to fi gure
out a way to pass on that vision to a
very different generation , at a very
different moment in our country '
history.

tantrum in a nursery. How dare we
compare it to what happened in the 60s
(as I heard some shortsi ghted children
of the 80s do last year at this time) or
mak e light of mindless destruction by
wearing t-shirts proclaiming "Party at
Bloomsburg , it 's a riot. "
I' m sure such sentiments were not
what President Kennedy had in mind
when he said ,"The torch has been
passed to a new generation. "
We can learn from the idealism and
energy of a quarter century ago and
from the stupidity of last year. We
have such energy, such latent power
and often latent potential.
Can ' t it be better directed?
Is the "right " to parly in loud ,
obnoxious , and often illegal hordes ,
the most pressing injustice we can
come up with?
What a sad commentary that incident
was.
I wish we would take all the energy
and rage that was wasted by a drunken

mob last year and turn it to something
productive. It's not that we aren't doing
many, many productive things , but
they tend to get lost in the shuffle of
things like the riot.
It goes back to responsibility. Take
the word apart and look at what it
means. Responsibility: the ability to
respond. We certainly have that ability.
We are intelli gent , well educated ,
basically well off , and we are young.
That was part of the charm and
tragedy of the man wc commemorate
on Tuesday .
He was struck down at such a young
age. But in his relatively short life he
pinpointed many areas that still need
work: poverty and racism, for example.
And we can certainly find causes
enough on our own campus.
If we can tru l y learn from two very
different anniversaries, maybe we can
make the torc h being passed to our
generation shine more brightly into
the new millennium.

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

OTTAWA - A volatile Canadian
public goes to the polls to elect a new
parliament Monday altera wild sevenweek election campaign that centered
on Canada 's relations with the United
States.
With almost a year left to go in his
five-year term , Conservative Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney called for
the election Oct. 1, after the Canadian
Senate refused to go along with the
free-trade pact negotiated between
Canada and the United States.
Normally the unclecled Senate
approves whatever the House of
Commons docs, but recently the Liberal-dominated upper chamber has
displayed a mind of its own on several
matters .
After Mulroney won Commons
approval for the pact, not a difficult
feat considering his party controls 211
of the 282 seats, Liberal leader John
Turner asked the Senate to delay passage of the measure, which has a year's
end signing deadline. The Senate
obliged.
Mulroney, whose party had climbed
from thirdplaceamongCanada 's three
major parties to first within a year,
according to the polls , called an election to get a new mandate for his
government and free trade.
But it was a move not without peril.
Not in 35 years has a Canadian government won back-lo-back majority
victories.
Right after the election call , Gallup
found the Tories with 43 percent backing and the Liberals with 33 percent. A
month later, though , it was ihe Liberals who had 43 and the Tories 31. (The
third party , the New Democrats , had
22 percent support both times.)
What made the difference , according to observers, was the Canadian
venue of election debates '88. For
three hours Oct. 24 the three candidates debated in French for this bilingual nation. The next night , they held
another three-hour debate in English.
Unlike the American debates, the
Canadian candidates were not encum-

bered wilh rules barring real confrontation. And confrontation is what they
got.
Ai the end of ihe debate , the topic
suddenly returne d lo free trade and
Turner and Mulroney got into a shouting match over who was the more
patriotic.
According to the polls , Turner won ,
thereb y turning die whole campaign
around and putting free trade so firmly
on the tabic that other issues arc rarely
mentioned anymore.
Toronto media consultant , Patricia
Adams says it was not a question of
Turner 's performance being all that
good , but that the public had not expected him to be good at all , remembering that il was-his performance in
the debates at the last election that was
credited wilh bring ing his inherited
rei gn as prime minister to a hall after
10 weeks.
"Better against bloody awful isn t
that much ," she said , but she added
that it was enough for the media to
declare him die winner , for ihe public
to latch onto this judgment , and for
Turner 's standing in the polls to rise
dramatically.
While some other observers agree
with this interpretation , not all agree.
Mike Bozinoff , of ihe Gallup organization , ihinks thai Turner deserves
credit for changing his own fortunes.
"He came across as sincere. . . ,"
Bozinoff said , "almost as if he had
found religion. "
"He seemed natural , unrehearsed ,"
he added , and also said the Liberal
leader hit a chord of "latent Canadian
nationalism " that people didn 't realize
was there .
The dcbaic marked ihe real siart of
the campai gn , he said. Before il people
had been turned off by months-long
speculation on whether and when an
clcclion would be called. But when the
debate focused their interest , Turner
was there wilh his winning perform ance.
Further adding to the Liberal skyrocketing in the polls after the debate,
Bozinoff said , was that the Conservatives did not respond to the Liberal

assault lor days.
New Democratic Party leader Ed
Broadbent also opposes free trade.
Though he did well in the debate,
according to University of Alberta
political scientist Ian Urquhart , the
media ignored him in its accounts and
thesocial democratic New Democratic
Parly 's standings remain stagnant.
Adams said that Broadbent came on
too strong, "like a pit bull." Adams
added , while he frequently is rated as
the most liked leader, this does not
translate into votes for the party .
"People arc afraid of the party , they
like die man ," Adams said.
The heart of the campaign has
remained free trade , with Mulroney
supporting the pact he worked out
with the United Slates and the other
two leaders denouncing it.
The pact , which won U.S. approval
witii no perceptible public debate, did
eliminate the few remaining trade
barriers between the world' s biggest
trading partners.
"The trade deal is a must for Canada' s future ,"Mulroney repeatedly has
told the voters. "It's a visionary instrument of job creation and new wealth
and it is clearly something that is on
the right side bf'hfs tory."' r ; "
Canada has a choice of remaining a
small market of 25 million or becoming a large market of 270 million
"where we can match strength with
strength and skill with skill ,"he said.
Furthermore , Mulroney has said,
throwing out the agreement would set
the precedent for future accords. He
visualized Turner going to the White
House and saying "By the way, I've
just torn up the free-trade agreement.
But how would you like to negotiate
an acid rain treaty?"
Said Turner: "I think that Canada
would be ill-advised to becomea regular partner in Fortress America. It has
always been in Canada 's interest to
seek a widening trading perspective
globally (instead of bilaterally).
"We're saying to our American
HlMjULMBlt' W

»¦ imTm%JTL

««¦

A

friends , 'We want to trade with you,
but we want to do it without . . .
yielding our sovereignty and our way
of doing things,' "he said.
Not loath to mince words, the political leaders accuse each other of not
knowing about what the free-trade pact
will mean or do to Canada. In addition
to jobs and the economy, there are
fears it will hurt Canada's more advanced social programs and its cultural identity .
Observers agree that it is hard for
voters to figure out what is true and
what isn 't in the barrage of charges,
denials and advertisements flooding
the country. Some, like Adams, think
the Conservatives missed their chance
by not explaining what was in the
1,100-page pact long ago.
Meanwhile, polls show support for
the pact eroding. Where all early polls
showed the public pretty evenly divided , Bozinoff said, a survey early
this month found the agreement favored by only 26 percent and disapproved by 50 percent. A majority was
opposed to it in every region of the
country, he said.
Amid all this, the United States is
trying to hunker down and stay out of
tne'fight , with officials declining 'even
to say what they think the pact really
does say.
"U.S. officials refuse comment on
the free-trade agreement because we
don 't want to be perceived as interfering with the election ," said one, refusing to comment. "It's a domestic affair."
Even the word that President Reagan was going to mention the pact in
a long-planned speech on world trade
last Thursday was enough to cause
anti-pact forces to predict he would be
meddling in Canadian affairs.
When the 30-minute speech did
contain a fleeting positive referencee
existence of the pact, the forces were
quick to cry foul. "Deliberate" intervention , said Turner , a "lame duck
trying to rescue a dead duck. "

Honesty and naturalness worked best
as the 12 women in IMAGE came out

did compete well.
Clowns joined in on the fun when
Debbie Marconi , Cathy Banks , Amy
Recce, Denise Powers and Bonnie
Schneck acted out and signed Send in

costumes were fun to look at and so
were they.
The audience learned how to fight
ghosts and sign "ghostbusters"at the
IMAGE concert when Bonnie
Chesney, Amy Reece, Amy Cebrosky
and Bonnie Schneck had trouble
gelling rid of the one on Haas stage.
Ghosts roaming the audience helped
with the sienine, too.

Good Things Happen in the Dark ,

Herbencr and Debby Crespo as little

Once they wereasleep, the fluorescent
hands came out once again. This time ,
hats and canes accompanied the
different-colore d hands , as Amy
Cebrosky, Bonnie Chesney, Bonnie
Schneck and Amy Herbencr told the
audience , Don ' t Worry, Be Happy,
from the movie Cocktail.
Michelle Garrity shined when , even
though she didn ' t want anyone to tell
her moiher what she was doing for a

from Cabaret in a slink y black
evening dress , working at a ni ghtclub .
Singin in the Rain had Cath y
Banks , Katie McKeown , Debby
Crespo , Amy Cebrosky, Bonnie
Chesney and Denise Powers toting
bri ghtly colored umbrellas. They did
some pretty exciting things wilh the
umbrellas , except keep themselves
dry as they danced in ihe street.
Then came the finale. After two
hours of fun and laughs , IMAGE
wasn ' t tired , and neither was the
audience. Locomotion , bv Kvlic

Minoguc , had all IMAGE members
on stage or gallavanlin g in ihe aisles
wiili ihe audience , gelling everyone lo
do this "brand new dance. "
Just like the music , IMAGE never
slowed down. The energy, enthusiasm
and dedication of these individuals ,
along with iheir advisor Joanne
Jackowski , was very obvious in ill is
performance. The messages they
conveyed were not lost on the mixed
audience of hearing and hearing
impaired. And iheir energy was
definitel y not wasted.

Q UES T Director Smith tells
of adv entures in Ethiop ia

by Lynne Ernst
Contributing Edito r
It is six in the morning and as th
sounds of howling monkeys am
growling lions echo throug hout tlu
mountains, tranquility envelopes the
explorers traveling ihe Omo River
below . "It is after having that experience ", said Roy Smith , explore r ,
write r, natural scieniisi and current
director of Quest at BU , "that you
know that this is the place you want to
be. "
Last Thursday at 8 p.m., Smith presented a slide lecture titled "Valley
Where Man Was Born " before a full
house in Kuster auditorium. Smith' s
lecture, sponsored by the anthropology and biology clubs , dealt with his
journey along the Omo River in
Southwest Ethiopia , one of the most
inaccessible and least visited reg ions
of Africa.
Smith , originall y from England , left
his native country in 1959attheaiie of
19 and "escaped to colonial Africa. "
It was on Christmas Day of that year
that Smith drove his land rover to the
area of Lake Turkana and looked
toward a muddy river and hazed
mountains. He dreamed of one dayreaching those mountains.
The dream became a reality in 1986
when Smith , a graduate student at
Yale, organized an expedition to
travel to the Omo River with other.
graduate students. The journey was
sponsored by National Geographic
and Yale University.
During the lecture , Smith noted that
three weeks before the journey was to
begin , 525,000 was still needed to
finance the tri p. Smith then decided to
call the travel editor at The New York
Times. As a result , a story about
Smith 's plans to travel the Omo River
was printed , and three adventuresome
individuals soon paid S8,000 each to
join the expedition.

The group spent two and one-half
months on ihe Omo River and covered
600 miles. "Once you ' re on ihe river. "
said Smith , "you can 't turn back.
There are no roads and no radio contact. "
The group had many obstacles to
overcome w h i l e traveling the river ,
which included avoiding large rapids
ind thwarting off crocodile and hi ppo
attacks.

The iribes were especiall y inter:sted in the amount of material goods
lossessed by ihe explorers , such as
:ameras. containers and sung lasses.
During the descent of ihe Omo ,
explorers came in contact with the
3odi. a tribe of approximatel y 5,000
icop le occupy ing an area of 25 miles.

desire to hel p the Dimi , they had an
even stronger desire to conclude there
journey after ihree months spentalong
the river.
So while the Dimi tribe was having
a meeting concerning whether or not
the explorers should be made to stay
Dimi soil , Smith and the others snuck
out ihe back of the hut and ran swiftly
towards the river. Fortunately, one
crew member who had run in the

After showing slides of crocodiles
encountered along the river , Smith
qui pped , "Crocodiles did very well
during the Peace Corps days when
unsuspecting fellows went into the
area. "
Aside fro m fending off crocodiles ,
the explorers also encountered daily
hi ppo attacks. Hippos , although herbivores , wei gh close to 5,000 pounds ,
possess 18-inch incisors , and , said
Smith , "They are very territorial , especiall y the large males. "
So how does one deal with hippo
attacks? "First ," answered Smith ,
"you gel real scared , but then you get
an adrenalin rush ... and then , you
knock the living day li ghts out of it
wilh rocks. "
Two weeks ago , while giving a lecture before the National Geographic Society, Smith remarked that he had
never heard of anyone having survived a hippo attack. After his lecture ,
however , a d i s f i g u r e d w o m a n
hobbled toward s Smith with the use of
a cane. Just months earlier , she had , in
fact, been attacked by a hippo.
Smith remarked that 17 diffe rent
iribes were contacted during the journey . The iribe s ' rcaciions to white explorers entering their lands , Smith
noicd , "The women scream and run ,
the young boys run , and the men sweat
and tremble. B ut after the iniiial shock
passed , the. people were very intrigued. In some instances , the iribes
were so interested wilh their cuests

The Bodi are essentially a nomadic
pastoralist group who rely heavil y on
the milk of ihe cow in their diet.
The milk , explained Smith , is
mixed with blood and urine. The
blood gives additional nourishment
and the urine is thought to keep the
milk from spoiling.
"I iried it , " said Smith , reassuring
the disquiete d audience , " and it 's
actuall y not that bad. "
Smith noted that although the Bodi
have a good gene pool , 25% have
sickle cell anemia. However , Smith
noted , "While our diseases are selfinflicted , iheir diseases are circumstantial. "
Four hundred miles down ihe river ,
the explorers came in contact with the
Dimi.
Currently, ihe Dimi are being
murdered by ihe Bodi tribe, not because the Bodi want to kill the Dimi ,
but instead , because they need the resources the Dimi possess.
The Dimi are currently losing because , while they are fighting with
spears made of iron ore obtained from
the mountains, the Bodi are fighting
wiih rifles obtained through trade.
As a result of the conflict between
the Bodi and the Dimi , Smith and his
crew were held captive in a hut by ihe
Dimi. It was thoug ht by the Dimi that
if ihe exp lorers remained on iheir soil ,
ihe Bodi would no longer fi ght with
them.
Althoueh the explorers had a strong

opposite direction was able to find the
group three days later,just before they
were about to depart.
At ihe end of the journey, where the
river drifts into Lake Turkana , Smith
was once again able to stand where he
had stood in 1959 and realize that he
had accomplished his dream . He had
travelled to the Omo River Valley.
Upon returning to the mainland of
Ethiopia, the explorers informed the
Marxist government about the plight
of the Dimi. However, the government said that they were unable to do
anything because of the remote location of the Dimi.
During his lecture, Smith spoke
about the problems confronting the
people of Ethiopia.
In Addis Ababa , the capital of
Ethiop ia, the population is doubling
every 20 years. Because of the overpopulation , lots of erosion is occuring
in Ethiop ia and , "This," said Smith ,
"is very hard on an agrarian society."
On future journ eys, Smith will be
taking Bloomsburg University students with him. This summer, a group
will be going to Alaska. In 1990,
Smith will head a student bicycle tour
across China.
A man who was being punished by
ihe Ethiopian government and was
forced to act as a guide along the
journey once asked Smith , "Roy, why
is it you do this?" Smith' s reply,
"Because it is there, and I guess that is
as rood a reason as :inv."

Leadership Excellence Starts Here

ToXfe, of
Btoomsbur g
by Christ! Gibson
for The Voice
I've never paid much
attention to the strange objects
that infest our campus, until
recently. A structure behind
Bakeless caught my attention.
A maroon picket fence encircles a wide patch of ground.
I is surrounded by overhead
lights and neatly bordered
with well tended flowers. The
inside is completel y empty,
except lor a concrete floor.
Why is there a comp letely
empty structure on campus?
I asked the director of the
ground crew , frank Curren.
He told me it had been used to
house kilns until about five
years ago. Kilns were used to
fire pieces lor the ceramic and
pottery classes.
Moving the kilns to the
fenced in area had made class
rooms less cluttered and was a
convenient central area for the
students.
But they were eventualy removed because of weather conditions and a need for more
space. Since then no one has
used the area. Apparently no
one has considered tearing it
down or using it for anything
else.
So in the meantime BU has
what is certainly one of the
more uni que structures on a
college campus.

body of the overture was exciting and
within proper stylistic approach of
the Classical Period. Unfortunately,
the overture provided a somewhat
rock y beginning to the evening.
Obvious ensemble problems existed
as a result of delayed entrances between strings and winds.
Sibclius 's Symphony Mo. 7, Op.
105 was the hi ghlight of the evening,
and provided an excellent conu-ast to
the Mozart. It was quite apparent that
the single movement symphony is a
favorile of Conducior Keelan 's. He
is to be commended for thoroughly
preparing the orchestra on the work ,
sensitive phrasing, executing difficult meter and tempo changes and

Animated film deals
with serious subj ect
L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Spielberg and George Lucas' "The
Land Before Time," an animated
prehistoric fable about a motley
group of baby dinosaurs , has a
sleepy, gentle spirit , and that seems
entirely appropriate because iis subtext is serious. The picture begins at a
time when the plant-eating dinosaurs
have run out of food and in order to
survive must journey many, many
miles to a place called the Great
Valley.
The dinosaurs are divided into
herds, Long Necks, Three Horn s,
Sharp Teeth , etc., and as the trek
commences, each herd is blessed
with new arrivals. To the Long
Necks is born the sole hope for the
continuance of the species , a purplish , slightly timid creature named
Littlefoot. (The name comes out of
nowhere, his feet seem perfectly normal.)
About the same time, the Three
Horns welcome a fiercely cute and
rambunctious little dynamo named
Sarah. Though they are from different groups, these two love to get into
trouble together, but one day the
trouble turns serious when a Sharp
Tooth interrupts their games. A
deadly chase ensues, and in the process of defending her offspring, Littlefoot 's mother is killed.
Simultaneously, an earthquake
causes Sarah to become separated
from her parents. Death and separation are the themes of The Land
Before Time, and unlike Bambi , in
which we had to deal with the death
of the mother on our own , the
filmmakers here have attempted to

address these issues in an instructional manner.
The heaviest share of this burden
falls to a creature named Rooler, who
tells LittlcFoot about the great cycle
of life, at the end of which the grieving youngster will be reunited with
his mother.
The animation work here isn 't
breathtaking, but it is workmanlike,
and in places there are even touches
of beauty. The characters are appealingly conceived and engaging, and
never once do they pick up guitars
and launch into dinosaur renditions
of rock songs (as cartoon Chipmunks
and Care Bears are prone to do).
Along the way to the Great Valley,
the main characters pick up several
supporting players , a neurasthenic
birdlike creature named Petrie (who
bears a disconcerting resemblance to
Charlie Callas), a perky amphibious
thing called Ducky and a blobby,
lethargic Spike Tail named Spike.
There is nothing about either the
story or its execution to place "The
Land Before Time"' alongside the
classics , but then again , the age of
animated masterpieces may be forever past. Still, though it 's not a great
film , it is an entertaining and , at
limes, emotionally rich one.

keeping the symphony musically
alive. The many moods of the composition were clearly depicted to the
audience.
The final selection of the evening,
Brahm 's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77 , was received with mixed
responses. From the initial somber
opening, the piece seemed to go
nowhere musically until the j ovial
third movement.
Violinist victor Danchenko, is to
be commended for his fine performance and for replacing Nadja
Salcrno-Sonnenberg at a moment's
notice. From were I sat , my initial
response was that he had a rather
small sound , but I am aware that
Mitrani Hall has dead spots approximately were he was standing.
Subsequent passages demonstrated fuller sound. Dankchenko is
an outstanding violinist and certainly
did the work justice. His warm and
virtuosic approach to the instrument
complimented the concerto with the
intended expression.The orchestra 's
contribution to this work is also to be
complimented. In general, the symphony has a real flair for romantic
music.The oboist receives my vote as
outstanding soloist throughout the
entire work. Never was their a sign of
struggle between the two. Keelan
provided a masterful fusion between
soloist and orchestra.
The evening was truly delightful
thanks to Hugh Keelan and the
Northeastern Philharmonic.

delay between the beginnings of a
religious group and when he learns oi
its existence. He said that he expected
to hear of "numerous additional
groups " over the next several years.
Melton formed the Institute for the
Study of American Religion as a
writing and lecturing base. He now is
a visiting scholar in the religious
studies department at the University
of California , Santa Barbara.
Melton 's list of nascent religious
groups encompasses a wide range ,
from magic, psychic and metaphysical organizations to relatively traditional Hindu and Buddhist bodies.
But he contended that all are "nonconventional within the prevailing
Judco-Chrislian culture and "almost
all of the groups have been labeled
'cull ' by antagonists.
. "Non-conventional religion in the
United States has flourished for a
generation ," he said , "and is transforming America religiously into a
radicall y pluralistic culture. "
Melton took issue with some
common scholarly theories about the
growth and trials of new reli gious
movements. Contrary to popular assumptions , he said , most non-conventional religions do not fall apart
when a charismatic founder dies, nor

L.A. Timcs-Washinglon Service

A leading chronicler of reli gious
movements in the United Slates says
that the formation of what many call
"cults " has conlinucd unabated in
the 1980s, despite the wary atmosphere created since the Jonestown
mass murder-suicides 10 years ago
this week.
Anti-cult groups , such as the Cull
Awareness Network and American
Family Foundation , have long insisted to parents, students , courts and
news media thai many offbeat religious groups use devious proselytizing and "brainwashing " methods lo
build quasi-spiritual hegemonies.
Yet, "the anii-cult movement ...
has had no measurable effect (on) the
development of nonconvcntional religions," said J. Gordon Melton of
Santa Barbara , Calif. , in a paper at
the annual meeting of ihe American
Academy of Religion in Chicago, t
Melton said that 35 new groups look
shape in the 1940s, 88 formed in the
1950s, 175 in the 1960s, 216 in the
1970s and 103 so far have been found
with ori gins in this decade.
Although the 1980-1989 total is
half that of the previous decade 's,

Celebrity Artist Series review

Once again Bloomsburg was
treated to a wonderful performance
by the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Philharmonic in the third installment
of the Celebrity Artist Series Thursday night. ' :
The orchestra, in return , was fortunate to have a large and gracious
audience. Programing for the concert
offered its listeners a well balanced
and varied program.
Commencing with Mozart 's Overture lo " Die Zauberflote, (The Magic

are they otherwise short-lived phenomena.
"Of more than 500 groups formed
since 1950, less than 100 have become
defunct , and 21 of those were small
Neo-Pagan covens and groves which
have been quickly replaced,'' he said.
Neo-Pagan groups, a form of popular
magical religion , "seems to have a
bright future in spite of forces in the
culture that continue to identify it
falsely with Satanism," said Melton ,
who holds a doctorate from Garrett
Theological Seminary.
Melton also disputed the theory that
tied the campus and war-protest turmoil of the late 1960s to the emergence
of spiritual movements in the 1970s.
He said that theory "found particularly
fertile soil" in studies associated with
the Center for the Study of New Religions at Berkeley, which has defended
the legitimacy of the movements. Melton said that lite continued formation of
new reli gious groups in relativel y
stable and conservative times seems to
belie that theory.

The Raiders have lost, on the
field and in the city of L.A.
by^cott Ostler

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

The Raiders have lost Los Angeles.
That's not an easy thing to do, Los
Angeles being a big town that pretty
much slays in place, except during
earthquakes.
But theRaiders have done it , they 'vc
lost their city . Maybe it will turn up
before the end of the season , maybe
Los Angeles will show up back at the
it 's Coliseum some Sunday morning,
scratching at the back door, begging to
be Jet back in.
Then again , maybe it 's gone for
good, run off with another dream.
This is an embarrassing irony for a
team in a habit of leaving cities , to
have the tables turned like this.
But check it out. The Raiders can 't
draw fan s, in the scats or in front of ihe
televisions.
Sunday, there were 40,000 fans at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
enjoy ing as peaceful and tranquil an
afternoon as you 'll sec at a National
Football League game. Your in-laws
will make more noise in your living
room on Thanksgiving Day.
On several occasions, ihcroarof the
Coliseum crowd was drowned out by
the din of aphids munching petals in
the Exposition Park rose garden.
If the Raiders could have harnessed
the electricity generated by ihe fans,
Coach MikeShanahanmi ghthave been
able to blow-dry his hair after the
game. Instead he merely pulled it out.
The intensity of the crowd picked
up near the end of the game, a 12-6 loss
lo the Atlanta Falcons. There was some
very sincere booing, and the cretins
who traditionally hang over the Coliseum tunnel and drool down on the
players as they run off the field of
valor were quite vocal and unsympathetic to the local lads.
But make no mistake: Somewhere
along the line, the Raiders have lost
the hearts and minds and wallets of the
City of Angels.

Even the Clippers are generating
more excitement these days, with their
palace revolt against the tyrannical
Gene Shue.
It 's a shame. The Raiders are tied for
first place in their division , yet the
fans seem to demand more.
Like maybe a touchdown every
month or so.
The Raiders have tried to copy the
Dodgers ' formula , winning public
sympathy wilh a light-hitting offense,
but it hasn 't worked.
The team has lost its grasp on the
city.
"We just couldn 't get the fire," said
Raider defensive end Greg Townsend.
"It 's like the fire was out today. We're
supposed to beat a team like Atlanta.
Wc knew in the second quarter both
teams (division co-leaders Denverand
Seattle) lost. If thai didn 't fire us up, I
don 't know what could."
Townsend painted a poetic word
picture of an ugly ballgame.
Those (Atlanta) guys are just big
slugs .wcjustwallowed with 'cm. We
shoulda played our game. We let 'em
push us around , we shoulda been
shuckin ' 'em , getting lo the ballcarrier."
Normall y, an NFL defensive squad
that gives up 12 points is in line for a
bonus and a party. But when your
offense has gone on vacation , only a
shutout will do.
If any group earned the right Sunday to refer to itself as wallowing
slugs, it was the Raiders' offense.
Early in the second quarter the Raiders had a sccond-and- 1 at the Falcon
30.
The next two plays were runs by
Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson. Each
play gained zero yards.
That is astounding.
Bo explained that the sluggish Raider
offense about as eloquently as anybody.
"I ain 't got nothing to say," Jackson
said as he cut around this reporter and

out the locker-room door, breaking to
daylight.
Despite gaining just 25 yards in §
carries, Bo did get out of his uniform
after the game without pulling a groin
muscle, as he did the previous week.
So, all the Raider news this dreary
Sunday wasn 't bad.
But despite the sunshine, it was a
strange and depressing day for the
silver and black. The few fans who did
show up at the Coliseum waited and
waited , almost reverently, as if anticipating some kind of harmonic convergence.
The Raiders continue to battle for a
playoff berth , but nobody is sure why
they bother.
The team that once threatened to
take the city away from the Rams, to
win the affection and loyalty of the
struggling masses, has lost its city .
Maybe it 's the planned departure of
the Raiders to Irwindale or Algiers
that has cooled the local fans. Maybe
the recent glorious successes of the
Lakers, Dodgers and Trojan s have
made il harder lo impress Mr. and Ms.
Los Angeles Fan.
It 's a tough city . Mediocre and dull
don 't cut it , even if mediocrity and
dullness put you at the top of your
division.
All hope is not lost. Maybe the
Raiders will all learn their playbook
and suddenl y start lining up in the
correct formation most of the lime,
which they didn 't do Sunday.
Maybe they 'll catch fi re, or at least
register a pulse.
But if they do, will they ever find the
city they 've lost?
What can Al Davis do? Have an
LAPD sketch artist draw a composite
of 1 million missing fans?
Long after Sunday 's game, Davis
slipped into theback seat of his silverand-black stretch limo. It cruised
slowly away from the Coliseum , out
into the night, in search of a lost city.
It's out there somewhere, Al.

they were offered and the fact that
many seem to be close to the end of
their careers and do not fear suspensions.
Stewart says he joined the tour
because he "always wanted to go to
South Africa."He spent 17 days there,
running in meets in Pretoria, nearCape
Town and in Johannesburg and participating in three clinics. He said
blacks and whites participated in the
meets and clinics, and, after one meet,
he was mobbed by black children who
kept him for hours before he could
board the bus for the hotel.
But critics of the tour say athletes
chose to participate for another reason. Generous sums of money were
made available to them. The going
rate for the two-week trip was $30,000,
according to estimates.
But Jim Spivey, the bronze medalist
in the 1,500 meters at the 1987 world
championships, told Sports Illustrated
he was offered $200,000 to compete.
He declined.
Stewart refused to say how much
money he made.
"It's not important,"hesaid. "I think
some people went for the m oney, but
I wanted to see what South Africa was
about."
Critics of the tour say the athletes
were naive and claim that by participating in meets with wide publicity,

they helped give legitimacy to the white
government. Clinics alone would have
been fine, said someathletes who didn 't
go. But competition, they say, is
something else again.
"They 're wrong," Stewart said.
"That's unfair and two-faced. Every
one remembers when Jimmy Carter
said we were boycotting the Moscow
Olympics and the athletes involved
said that was wrong because politics
and sports don 't mix. So I go to South
Africa and say that politics and sports
don't mix , that I'm there to help the
people, and those same athletes now
get angry with me. I went there to
show them that blacks can be role
models, that they should try to get out
of South Africaand come to the United
States and get better at what they do."
Stewart, who comes from what he
called a middle-class, suburban backg
round, said he was "scared" when he
arrived in South Africa.
That might have been the scariest
thing I've ever done," he said. "It's
also probably the boldest thing I've
ever done."
An opponent of apartheid , Stewart
said he spoke out against the polic y in
an interview with a white newspaper
reporter from Cape Town, and was
pleasantly surprised to see himsel f
quoted accurately in the paper the next
day .

Hurdler to be banned for life
by Christine Brennan

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

Hurdler Milan Stcwart of the United
States on Friday will be banned for life
from officially sanctioned national and
international track and field competition.
Stewart knows most people think
what he did was wrong. But he says he
doesn 't care.
"I know why I did it, and I feel good
about it," he said.
A black man , Stewart defied the
anti-apartheid policy of U.S. and international track and field governing
bodies to compete in three meets in
South Africa last month. He says he
simply was try ing to help black athletes in a nation that oppresses blacks.
Track official s and others say, by his
actions, he was doing just the oppoA three-member panel from
site.
The Athletics Congress, meeting in a
Chicago hotel Friday, is expected to
suspend Stewart and a dozen other
U.S. athletes six black, six white for
taking part in the South African competition. Stewart said he expects to get
kicked out of track forever and will be
surprised if he isn 't. But he also says
he would do it again, and in fac t wants
to go back to South Africa to give
sports clinics and establish a trust fund
for black athletes next year, something that would not be restricted by
his likely suspension.
"I felt like I was running for those
people,"Stewart, 28, saidby telephone
from his parents ' home in West Covina, Calif. "I'd like to believe I gave
black peop le insp iration. I hope they
were thinking, 'This is a brother running."
Stewart, who narrowly missed
making the 1984 and 1988 U.S. Olympic team in the 110-mcterhurdles , was
part of a group that included former
javelin world-record holder Tom
Petranoff , a 1988 Olymp ian ; javelin
throwerCarol Cady, another '88 Olymp ian; John Powell, the '76 and '84
Olympic bronze medalist in the discus; '84 Olymp ian Ruth Wysocki; and
'76 Olymp ian James Robinson.
Many athletes were contacted this
summer by tour organizer Dick
Tomlinson, a U.S. track coach. Those
who went chose to go for a variety of
reasons, chief among them the money

Cable TV to bid for Olympics
by Jay Sharbutt

L.A. Times-Washington Post Service

There is debate about whether the
price will rise. The Fox television
network may join ABC, CBS and NBC
in the competition. But the biggest
question as bidding ncars on U.S. television ri ghts to the 1992 Summer
Ol ympics is what role cable will play.
With memories of NBC' s financiall y disappointing 1988 Summer
Ol ympics show still fresh , Olympic
officials for the first time arc actively
pushing for cable lo get a piece of the
action for the Barcelona Games.
Their hope is to keep the overall
rights fee up by encouraging the winning network to defray its costs via
cable sales. NBC paid $300 million to
televise the Games in Seoul , South
Korea , but dre w lower ratings than it
had antici pated and wound up making
a small profit onl y because of the extra
revenues generated by the TV stations
it owns.
The International Olymp ic Committee is still auctioning off only one
package, however. As with pastOlympics , all U.S. television ri ghts broadcast, cable, pay cable will go lo one
network , with that network then allowed to sell part of the package to
other outlets though none has chosen
to do so before.
In preparing draft contracts that
were sent to the networks for inspection and comment , a variety of options
for parceling the rights were considered, and network concerns on such
matters as the quality of cable-produced events were addressed , said
Richard Pound , vice president of the
International Olympics Committee and
chairman ofits television negotiations
committee.
"Wc listened for a while, and final ly said , 'OK , we'll throw in ever
ything (in the rights package) but it 's
got to be understood that we're expecting to sec some cable,' "he said in

a telephone interview from Montreal.
Despite NBC' s recent experience,
top Olympic officials think that the
winning 1992 bidder will offer, as one
put it , a "significantly higher figure"
than $300 million.
Bids probably will be accepted on
or about Dec. 1, Pound said, with the
winner to be announced soon thereafter.
Reasons cited for this optimism
include the fact that the Games from
Spain , unlike NBC' s late SeptemberOctober sportsfest , will be back in the
summer running fro m July 25 to Aug.
6, 1992.
As official Olympics theory goes,
this will be good for ratings. Families
will be together , not returning from
vacation to schools and jobs, and viewers will not be distracted by late-season baseball races and new fall TV
programming.
B ul there arc those who scoff at such
Olymp ian optimism , among them retired NBC board chairman Julian
Goodman.
"Wouldn 't you say that if you were
in their place?" he asked. "They can 't
say, 'It was terrible and we' 11probably
get less this time. ' They 've got to talk
it up. ..."
(Goodman lakes a dour view of the
whole process of Olympic bidding.
He has proposed that America's broadcasting and cable industries form wilh
federal approval a non-profit corporation to make a single bid for Olympics
rights , then divide them. His suggestion hasn 't been adopted.)
With the bidding about to begin, the
presidents of the sports divisions at
CBS,NBC and ABC are playing things
close to the vest, lest a slip of the lip
sink their respective strategies.
ABC's Dennis Swanson, whose
network paid the all-time record of
S309 million for this year's Winter
Olympics, declined to be interviewed.
So did NBC' s Arthur Watson. A

NBC considered selling some"lesser
events" from Seoul to cable TV , but
quickly dropped the idea after strong
objections from its affiliated stations.
CBS has not ruled out the idea for its
1992 Winter Games.
One network source said that CBS
had received inquiries about selling
some of those events to basic cable,
pay-cable and pay-per-view cable
services, with Home Box Office and
Turner Broadcasting among the inquirers.
"There is plenty of interest from
cable," said CBS spokesman George
Schweitzer, declining to say who specifically is interested. "But no decision (on cable sales) has been made
yet."
CBS has no cable operations, nor
does it plan any, it says. But its rivals
are active: ABC owns 80 percent of
all-sports ESPN , while NBC in February will launch a business-and-sports
cable service, CNBC.

spokesman for Watson said that NBC
would be "a serious bidder," althoug h
"we wouldn 't take it at a ridiculous
amount of money just for the sake of
having it."
CBS' Neal Pilson , whose company
last May paid $243 million for rights
to its second-ever Olympics show, the
1992 Winter Games in Albertville,
France, was readily accessible for a
brief phone interview. But he declined
to say if he thought the winning price
for the Summer Games in 1992 would
be higher than for those of 1988. Nor
would he comment on what impact the
ratings that NBC got for the Seoul
Games may have on the bidding for
Barcelona.
The idea of sharing the Olympic
costs has become increasingly appealing to the major networks as their
audience shares continue declining
because of sharp inroads of independent stations and the growth of cable

BU Invitational
Miracle in the
Meadowlands
Part II
Sean Rya n
Sports Editor
Well it was no doubt that the
Philadelphia Eagles went to church
before today 's game.
The Eagles rallied from behind lo
beat the New York Giants and
advance their record lo 7-5 which
also puts them as co-Icadcrs in firs t
place in the NFC East.
Let 's fi rst turn back the clocks
and look at the strange correlation
of today 's game and almost the
identical one played at the
Meadowlands nearl y ten years ago.
They called il the "Miracle at the
Meadowlands. " The (6-5) Eagles
came into the Meadowlands on
Novembe r 19, 1978 loplay the New
York Giants , hop ing they would
walk away with a victory and keep
them in the hunt for a Wid Card
spot.
Late in the fourth quarte r with the
Eagles down 17-13 , Giants
quarterbac k Joe Pisarcik downed
the ball twice to run out the clock.
On third down instead of "eating "
I he ball .Pisarcik decides to hand the
ball off to running back Larry
Csonka. On a bad handot 'i", the ball
fumbled and #48 Merman Edwards
recovered the ball and ran it in for a
touchdown to beat ihe Giants 19-17
in one of the most bizarre games ol
(he season.
Now almost ten years later on a
rainy 20th of November 1988, the
Eagles march into the New Jersey
Meadowlands with a 6-5 record
hoping to win the game and keep
their playoff hopes alive.
The game had a host of strange
plays, which included all three of
the Eagles touchdowns. The first ol"
the Eagles touchdowns was scored
on a questionable quarterback
sneak by Randall Cunningham.
Randall Cunning ham tried a QB
sneak the play before and it looked
like he crossed the goal line , but it
was ruled no good , Now on the third
down he tries the QB sneak again
and it looked like hcdidn 'icross the
plane , but out of a guilty conscious
perhaps the referees ruled il a TD.
The second touchdown came on a
reception from Keith Jackson that
was fumbled in the end zone and
picked up by wide receiver Ron
Johnson to tic the game at 17-17 late
in the fourth quarter.
The most bizarre of the thre e
touchdowns came in overtime
when Luis Zcndcjas attempted a 26yard field goal that was blocked and
picked up by 4196 Cl yde Simmons ,
which he ran in for the gamewinning touchdown.
Immediatel y after the touchdown , Head Coach ol" the Giants
Bill Parcel! pleaded with the referees saying that you can not run in a
blocked field goal for a touchdown.
But the touchdown was ruled legal
because the field goal was attempted on third down and Clyde
Simmons recovered the ball in the
backfield. The Eag les went on to
win the game 23-17 in Overtime in
no doubt the most bizarre wins of
the 1988 Eagles.
This tips ihe Eagles record to 7-5,
putting them in first place wilh the
Giants and the Phconix Cardinals.
The Eagles host the Phconix
Cardinals at Veterans Stadium next
Sunday.
The Phconix Cardinals arc
without starling quarterbasck Neil
Loniiix , which should be a bi g plus
for the Philadelphi a Eagles.
The Eagles look to beat the
Cardinals and keep iheir first place
ranking.
Let 's go Eagles !

the intensity, especially the
conditioning of the kids. Tony Reed
wrestled very well, beating two
nationally ranked kids in the
semifinals and finals."
Marty King put in a lot of time this
summer practicing and proves to be a
top competitor in his weight class. On
a negative note, Kazsa at 118 has torn
intercostals of muscles in the ribs and
will be out approximately three to four
weeks. And Chris Homes tore a
ligament in his thumb and may need
an operation. "This hurts our
flexibility in the lower weights," said
Sanders. "Overall, I was very pleased
with the performance of all our teams.
This will be a very competitive team."
