BU saves on
disposal fees
by Amy Br ayf o r d and
Joel Lilje
for The Voice
Bloomsburg University 's tipping
fees for garbage disposal have
remained stable during the last year.
Bloomsburg ' s maintenance
department says university savings
have been the result of increased
recycling programs on campus.
Recycling now saves BU from
$10,000 to $12,000 a year. In 1983 the
University saved approximately
$6,000.
In 1983, recycling at BU
concentrated only on computer paper
and cardboard boxes. This semester
the program expanded to include
aluminum cans and glass.
Thc growth in recycled goods
handled has doubled the University 's
savings in garbage removal within a

few years.
Voluntary Recycling Incorporated,
a non-profit organization based in
Bloomsburg, collects and recycles the
University 's products.The university
pays the company $4,000 a year to
remove recyclable products from the
campus.
Recycling is not only the job of the
University 's maintenance department
and Voluntary Recycling Incorporated
but relies heavily on student
cooperation and participation.
This semester thc program added
special bins for separation of aluminum
cans. Most of these bins were placed
alongside drink vending machines
which are located across campus.
All students have been asked to
separate all major types of trash into
proper bins to increase the
effectiveness of the recycling program.

Applications now
being accepted

The upperclass room assignment
process for the new apartment
complex, located on the upper campus,
is now making instructions and
agreement cards immediately available
to all on-campus and off-campus
students.
On-campus students can obtain a
copy of the instructions*and agreement
card in any residence hall while offcampus students must go to the
Residence Life office. The cards must
be stamped paid , from the Business
Office, and hand delivered to the
Residence Life Office no later than
February 1, 1989.
The cards will only be accepted in
groups of four and applicants of each
group must be of the same sex. The
selection of groups will be determined
through Social Security numbers
picked on February 2,1989.
Elegibility of students who want to
live in the apartment complex will

groups.
.Group one will require all four
students having earned 64 ,pr more
credits, group two must have at least
one student with 64 or more credits
with the remaining students having at
least 45 credits earned, and group three
will require all four students having 45
credits or more.
The process for requesting an
apartment begins with those students

Complex Agreement card and
accompanying information at any
residence hall desk or the Residence
Life Office. The agreement must bc

of getting a fuller account later from
Nir or other U.S. or Israeli sources.
In a subsequent telephone
conversation Oct. 10, Nir said he was
not to "go public," citing the damage
publicity might do to his business
activities.
Washington Post editors concluded
that Nir 's death Wednesday
removeded reasons for the agreement
to withold attribution to Nir of the
information he provided in June. In a
telephone interview on Friday, Nir's
widow, Judy , said she knew that her
husband was talking to Woodward,
but she had "no idea" why he was
doing it At the time of his death he
was not prepared to tell his story
publicly, she said.
Nir was a central figure in many
aspects of the Iran-Contra affair. He
was cited by North as the originator (in
November 1985) of the funds
generating profits from arms sales to
Iran to fund other covert projects; the
idea North used later to divert support
to the Nicaraguan rebels. In January
1986, North and Nir discussed using
$2.5 million from the first direct sale
of U.S. arms to Iran for their joint
covert operations, according to an entry
in North's notebook made public by
the congressional Iran-Contra
committees.
When details of the Iran-Contra
operation were about to be disclosed
in November 1986, Nir refused North's
request that he take the blame for tlie
diversion of profits to the Contras,
according to North 's notebooks. Nir

said in the June interview: "I like Ollic.
He was under great pressure. To mix
the Iran operation and &e Contras was
stupid, stupid , stupid."
Nir representedIsrael in negoliations
with U.S. and Iranian representatives
that led to three shipments of U.S.
arms to Iran in 1986.
He accompanied former national
security adviser Robert C. (Bud)
McFarlane and North on their secrci
mission to Tehran in May 1986. Nir
said in the June interview that
McFarlane failed to improvise and take
advantage of the meetings, that "full }'
50 percent of (this trip) is not known,"
and that he had extensive notes on this
and other aspects of the secret initiative.
Nir and North planned and carried
out at least two secret joint operations
outside normal intelligence channels .
These were "only part" of their covert
activities. Nir said , "There is much
more. "With Iranian middleman
Manucher Ghorbanifar, Nir arranged
for Iranian help in freeing thc Rev.
Lawrence C. Jenco , an American
hostage held by Lebanese extremists.
Jenco was released in July 1986 based
on Ghorbanifar's promise that thc
United States would subsequently ship
arms to Tehran. Nir called Ghorbanifar
"a tool, no matter whose tool," adding
that he was told by an important figure
in the affair that "imperfect tools must
be used for imperfect ends ,"
On July 29, 1986, within days after
Jenco was released, Nir briefed Vice
President Bush and his chief of staff ,
Craig L. Fuller, in Israel on the need to
respond to the release by shipping
arms to Iran.
Nir said in the interview that Israel
carefully restricted the information that
was provided to U.S. investiga tors

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-Amiram Nir, the
former Israeli official who died in a
plane crash Wednesday, said last June
that a confidential Israeli-American
agreement authorized still-secret
counterterrorist operations that he and
Lt. Col. Oliver L. North supervised in
1985-86.
American and Israeli sources
confirmed that there was an IsraeliAmerican agreement, referred to as
"terms of reference" or "accords" by
some knowledgable sources. Its
existence has never been disclosed to

Congress, according to American
sources familiar with it.
A White House spokesman said
Saturday the Reagan administration
would offer no comment on the
agreement or any operations that may
have been conducted under it
Yossi Gal, spokesman for the Israeli
embassy, said, "I won't go into this
agreement Israel and the United States
have lots of agreements.We have never
maintained that Nir was operating on
his own or as a renegade. Everything
he did was being done by the
government of Israel."
Nir disclosed the existence of an

agreement during interviews in
London last June. He maintained that
secret U.S.-Israeli covert operations
were authorized by President Reagan
and then-Israeli Prime Minister
Shimon Peres under the accords. Few
details of these operations have been
disclosed. Nir said the Israeli
government has detailed records of all
of them.
One operation conducted under the
agreement was the organizing of and
force of Lebanese Druze in Beiru t in
May, 1986, at a time when the White
House was considering the use of force
to try to free American hostages.

Appreciation course offered

Contributing Editor
A one credit experimental course,
Experiencing the Arts , which was
unlisted in the scheduling newspaper
is scheduled for the spring semester of
1989.
The course was not listed in the
scheduling newspaper as it received
approval on the last day of scheduling
period.
The course, to be taught by Dr. Terry
Oxley, will meet four times a semester
on Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.
Pre-requisites for the course include
having had or being currendy enrolled
in Music 35-101, Theatre 26-102 or
Art 30-101.
"The objective of the course," says
Oxley, "is to encourage attendance at

Throughout the course, each student
will be required to attend eight cultural
performances, two from the Celebrity
Artist's Series, two from the music
department, two art shows and two
theatre events, one of which must be
performed on Bloomsburg's campus.
After attending productions, each
student will be responsible for writing
a two page evaluation.
Oxley noted that, "Class lectures
will be geared towards the aesthetic
appreciation of the arts and give
students the information and tools
necessary to go to cultural events and
objecti vely decide if they like the.

If a student attends the shows and
writes five evaluations which are

the grade of an A," said Oxley.
He added that, "Unfortunately,
because the course is in the
experimental stage, it can not count
towards Group A-The Humanities."
However, if the course is successful,
Oxley hopes that Experiencing the Arts
will be a course that can be repeated
several times.
Experiencing the Arts is a result of
the Task Forceon Cultural Affairs, cochaired by Dr. Baird tfnd Dr. Mulka.
Currently, 300 seats hav e been
allocated for the class.
Oxley remarked, "I am interested in
as many people taking the class as
possible in order to get feedback from
students to see if they get anything out
of it"

Disclosure of lhc agreement adds
yet another layer to the mysteries
surrounding thc Iran-Contra affair. As
described by Nir , the agreement led to
a series of covert actions that had
common tactical elements. The nowfamous secret transactions that
produced unauthorized aid for the
Nicaraguan Contras from the profits
of aims sales to Iran may have fit a
pattern established in those other secret
undertakings. And , like thc arms-forhostages dealings with Iran, these other
secret operations were apparentl y
hidden from Congress.
References were made to the NorthNir "off-the-books" operations during
the congressional Iran-Contra
investigation , but Nir 's assertion that
they were carried out under an
agreement was the firsl indication that
he and North , who has since retired
from the military , claimed lop-level
governmental authorization for their
activities.
Nir was interviewed by reporter Bob
Woodward for 13 hours last June in
London. He said he expected to tell
his story publicly later , and said he
was debating how best to do it: in a
television interview, for a newspaper
or some other way. Woodward and
Nir agreed that the information Nir
provided was not to be attributed to
him without further discussions.
Throughout the summer Nir did not
return numerous phone calls in Israel.

Soviets express hope toward Bush
by Robert C Toth

LA Times-Washington Post Service

WASHINGTON-Preparing the
ground for Soviet leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev 's visit this week, upbeat
Sc-viet officials said Sunday that
Moscow could work with Presidentelect George Bush and expressed hope
that some of Bush' s doubts about
Gorbachev could be eased during
Wednesday 's lunch.
Two former U.S. ambassadors to
the United Nations, Jeane J. Kirkpatrck
and Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D-N.Y.,
said that the Kremlin could improve
prospects for peace in the Middle East
if it sought to repeal the decade-old
U.N. resolution lhat equates Zionism
and racism.
The Soviets first raised the concept
and pushed tbe resolution, Moynihan
said.
"It is impossible for the United
Nations to play a positive role ine
Mideast as long as the Soviets and
their friends are pushing" to rob Israel
of its legitimacy through the resolution
Kirkpatrick said.

The two Americans appeared with
Shishlin on the NBC program "Meet
the Press."
Shishlin predicted the Gorbachev
"will have in his pocket very integral
initiatives" to present during his speech
to the United Nations and luncheon
with President Reagan and Vice
President Bush Wednesday. He did
not elaborate, however.
Asked for the Soviet view of the
president-elect, Shishlin said, "Bush
is the heir of Reagan." There were "no
brilliant ideas about Soviet-American
relations" in Bush' s election speeches,
he added, but afterwards, his comments
about U.S.-Soviet relations were
positive.
"I think we can work with Mr. Bush
as productively as with Mr. Reagan,"
Shishlin said.
Gennady I. Gerasimov, spokesman
for the Soviet Foreign Ministry, called
him a "good pragmatic leader."
Asked on the ABC program "This
Week with David Brinkley" if he
expected Bush to be "tougher than
Reagan ," Gerasimov said that

"continuity is the name of the game"
and that the three men would meet at
lunch "to pass the torch."
Gerasimov appeared to accept the
fact that Bush was less enthusiastic
about Gorbachev during the campaign
than Reagan.
"Everybody is entitled to his own
doubts," he said, "but I hope that these
doubts will be cleared when Presidentelect Bush knows our leader better and
our politics."
Secretary of State George P. Shultz,
who also appeared on the ABC
program , again defended his
controversial decision last week to
deny a visa to Yasser Arafat, leader of
the Palestine Liberation Organization ,
who wanted to come to the United
States to address the U.N. General
Assembly.
"As chairman and responsible party'
of the PLO, said Shultz , Arafat knew
about, condoned and supported the
(terrorist) activities of Fatah" which is
both part of thc PLO arid Arafat 's
personal organization.

throughout the world.
It is through large scale efforts, such
tis these, that AI hopes to raise world
consciousness to Uie plight of political
prisoners.
Unfortunatel y, it is still not enough.
In ils 1988 Annual Report, AI pointed
out lhat many goverments still continue
to deny their citizens fundamental
rights.
"In at least half the countries of thc
world , people are locked away for
speaking their minds, often at trials
that are no more than a sham.
In at least a third of the world' s
nations , men , women , and children
are tortured. In scores of countries ,

governments achieve their goals by
kidnapping and murdering their own
citizens. "
AI' s only method to stop lhc abuse
of human rights is to increase the public
attention to thc specific cases.
Quite often , lhc avalanche of mail
which reaches ministries , embassies ,
and newspapers persuade officials that
keeping a prisoner is not worth it.
Since ils founding in 1961, AI has
adopted more than 30,000 individual
prisoners of conscience cases, of which
27,352 have been closed either by
release or dealh.
These statistics have led United

Affairs have drastic consequences

Eight years ago, Edward McNamara
had what is described as a "casual
affair." But in the way of lhe world, his
brief romance had more than casual
consequences. Unknown to him , the
20-year-old single woman became
pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl.
On Aug.l , 1981, over dinner in a
San Diego restaurant , she told him
about the baby and how she had placed
it for adoption. She asked him to sign
away his parental rights.
That vivid scene between man and
woman, the news announced over the
neutral turf of a tablecloth — her
revelation , his shock — was a vivid
tableau of the essential difference
between a biological mother and father.
Only a father could be "stunned ," in
his words, by the birth of a child.
Despite all the birthing classes and
self-conscious descriptions of "our"
pregnancy, not even married men and
women are truly equal partners in
pregnancy. Unwed and disconnected
fathers haven 't nearly the same
investment as unwed mothers in a
newborn child.
But does that mean there are no
rights that come with a paternal set
genes? Does a mother have the

unilateral power lo put a child up for
adoption? Can thc state view unwed
mothers and unwed fathers wholl y
differently?
These arc some of lhc questions Uiat
came out of this casual affair. On Nov .
28, Ed McNamara brought them lo the
Supreme Court.
McNamara never signed away his
parental rights. He had them ruled
away. Months after thc baby g irl —
now a seven-year-old named Katie —
was placed in a foster home, the court
allowed Robert and P.J. Moses to adopi
the baby over McNamara 's protests.
The girl had bonded with her new
parents, thc court ruled . Adoption was
in her best interest.
McNamara claims that the law
violated his rights, indeed all fathers'
rights. An unwed mother could only
lose her parental rights if she was
unfit But an unwed father could lose
them "in the best interests oftlie child."
He was denied equal protection of thc
law.
This is not an isolated or freakish
case. One out of every four children in
the country is born out of wedlock.
Many of these children have a tenuous
relationship with their fathers . There

arc more women trying to get men into
lhc lives of children than trying to
keep them out. There are more women
than men trying to prove paternity in
court
Indeed , that scene at the restaurant
might have gone differentl y if the
biological mother had decided to keep
the child. The result of McNamara 's
casual affair might have been 18 years
of child-support payments.
But can a state hold a man
responsible for supporting his children
one day and cut off his right to those
children the next? Is a father who is
liable for responsibilities to be denied
rights?
At lhc same lime, this or any woman
who carries a child alone for nine
months may assume that she can decide
thc fate of her newborn alone. Only six
percent of babies born to unwed
mothers are put up for adoption.
Those mothers act in what they
believe is "the best interests of the
child. " How would she assess those
interests, make that decision , if the
child could be claimed by a strangerfather?
The Supreme Court has ruled that
biology isn't destiny for unwed fathers

Perez de Cuellar to call AI the world's
most effective human ri ghts
organization.
Because our world leaders found it
necessary to develop the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and
Amnesty International has been able
to effectively implement its use, isn't
it our turn to celebrate the anniversary
of the declaration and join tfie members
of AI?
Human rights offer the right place to
stand up and fight.
AI offers (hc means... to someone
who has been jailed or tortured because
of his religion , political beliefs, or
race, a letter can spell freedom.

exactly the way it is for unwed mothers.
If an unwed father wants to claim his
paternity, he has to act like a father.
But neither the mother nor the
California law ever gave Ed
McNamara the chance to act like a
father.
This is a time of flux and confusion
about families and the rules that
regulate them. Family structures are
more diverse; family law more
complex. As a society we are trying to
strengthen emotional ties while our
institutions weaken. We are especially
concerned about fathers and children.
Ed McNamara knows something
about changing families and about
maintaining relationships.
A divorced father of two, an unwed
father of one, he doesn't ask for custody
of Katie but rather the right to visit, the
right to be known and named as her
father.
For all of its good intentions , the
state of California was wrong to sever
this or anu father's rights before he can
make a case for his responsibility. It
may be rare, but a brief affair produced
a tenacious father. There is nothing
casual about Ed McNamara 's
fatherhood anymore.

Convict teaches class at Stanford Journalism certificates now
Vacaville prisons.
"The transition from mat "nothing'
back there, to this, it's going to take
some time. It's going to take some
time to learn to walk alone."
Over objections from state parole
officials, U.S. District Judge Then
Henderson ordered Spain 's release
March 10, ruling that he served enough
time for the 1966 murder. Two years
earlier, the judge had overturned
Spain's conviction in connection with
the murders of two prison guards in
the San Quentin uprising and ordered
a new trial.
Watched, helped and guided by close
friends he met during the tumulte
prison rights movement of the 1960s
and 1970s and the San Quentin trial,
he has lectured to groups as far away
as Oberlin College in Ohio.
Spain is progressing in his job at a
San Francisco company that makes
showcases, and until this week was
co-teaching a class at Stanford with
Kathy Kornblith , a private investigator
who has worked on his case since
1971.
Entitled "Society Behind Bars," Uie

IA Times-Washington Post Service

It's a long way from California 's
Vacaville prison to Stanford
University.
But there was Johnny Spain , the
convicted murderer, ex-Black Panthed
survivor of the bloodiest riot in
California prison history, enrapturing
a class of Stanford undergrads with
tales of life behind bars.
Eight months after his release from
the California Medical Facility to
Vacaville; Spain is trying to prove his
friends , lawyer, and supportive
politicians and prison officials right:
this worst of the worst inmates
rehabilitated himself.
Spain, 39, is somber when he tells
students about the murder he commtted
at age 17 in Los Angeles and can be
"painfully honest" about it, a student
noted.
He will not talk in detail about his
role in the San Quentin bloodshed ,
saving that for a new trial ahead of
him.
This is not to say life on the outside
has been easy.
I do understand why people get out
and don't make it. It's tough for me,
and I have had all these people
helping," said Spain, 39, who spent
21 years at Soledad, San Quentin and

prison, a prison guard , a probation
officer , and a former San Quentin death
row inmate. Students toured San
Quentin.
"I'd think some peop le would be
concerned mat their sons and daughters
were being taught by a guy like Johnny
Spain," said Folsom Warden Robert
G. Borg, who told the class of his
success in reducing violence at his
prison.
"I happen to think prisons are doing
a good job," he said, noting in his visit,
he tried to counter what he suspected
was a skewed view that students had
receiv.ed during the course about the
department's efforts.
Borg , a 29-year veteran of . the
system, went to the class not knowing
that Spain was one of the teachers.
He's not sure he would have gone if he
had known..
"I'd like to think I probably would
have shown up, in spite of my personal
feelings," he said, referring to the San
Quentin riot , a chapter that pains
officials whose fellow officers were
murdered and maimed. "A few years
ago, I damned sure wouldn 't (have
shown up).
" I think it 's important that you get a
different view. The fact that I was
invited is a plus," He added. " I think I
had some impact."

HUSKY
NOTES

Nir offers insight on Contra affair

(Continued f r o mpa ge 1)
of the Iran-Contra affair,
assigning a former senior Israeli
official who had been inspector general
of the Israeli armed forces , reserve
Gen. Raphael Vardi, to review the
Israeli documents.
Two limited chronologies, one
financial and Uie other historical, were
given to the United States. By sticking
to dates and the most general
descriptions of planned agenda items
for meetings, the Israelis conveyed
very little of substance to the United
States, Nir said.
Nir said Israel has assembled
extensive records not turned over to
the state department, based in part on
his detailed notes and papers.
They provided point-by-point
documentation of all contacts ,
discussions and undertakings with U.S.
officials , including North, Nir said.
Nir said he also provided full written
reports to his superiors and he gave
oral briefings to Shimon Peres, the
Israeli prime minister who hired him
as counterterronst adviser, and later to
Peres' successor, Yitzak Shamir. Nir
said he was "on a short leash."
At the time North and Nir joined
forces in 1985, the former military
correspondent for Israeli television was
the newly appointed counterterrorist
adviser to Peres.
North was a member of the staff of
the National Security Council and was
responsible for coordinating
counterterrorist activities for the White
House.
Informed sources said the secret
agreement that Nir said authorized the
Nir--North undertakings was signed by
hi gh-level officials for both
governments.
Nir said he drafted the agreement
and that it was formalized in an
exchange of letters between Reagan
and Peres.
Other sources involved in
counterterrorist operations for the two
countries said the agreement was
signed at a lower level.

Whatever form it took , the
agreement is an important missing
piece ie history of secret White House
operations in President Reagan 's
second term.
U.S. government sources said the
agreement originally was negotiatede
State Department and the Israeli
foreign ministry to permit the exchange
of sensitive information between U.S.
and
Israeli
government
counterterrorism experts.
These sources said Nir and North in
their activities clearly went beyond
this intent, at least as understood by
senior State Department officials.
The agreement is formally spelled
out in its "terms of reference," which
officials said included vague language
and statements that are subject to
differen t interpretations.
One senior U.S. source said the
American-Israeli agreement appeared
e connected to earlier authorizations
or "findings" for covert intelligence
operations signed by Reagan , which
authorized aggressive anti-terrorist
actions.
The Post reported in October that
Reagan signed findings in 1984 and
1985 authorizing antiterrorist
operations arid stipulating that any
actions taken under those orders in
"good faith" would be "deemed" legal:
language several officials interpreted
as a "license to kill."
Under longstanding executive
orders, it is illegal for American
operatives to engage in any activity
that could lead to assassinations, but
those intelligence findings signed by
Reagan seemed to at least some
officials to create a legal loophole to
circumvent that prohibition.
One of several versions of the
"license-to-kill" finding was signed
by Reagan on Aug. 11, 1985, at about
the time that Nir said he was drafting
the secret American-Israeli agreement
on counterterrorism.
. The same senior American source
said that because Congress was never

Concert Choir brings J oy of Christmas with song
by Lynne Ernst
Contributing Editor
While there arc still three weeks left
until Christmas, the Bloomsburg University Concert Choir , along with a
guest appearance by thc BU Husky
Singers, brought thc joy of Christmas
to approximatel y 300 people last Friday evening at 8 p.m. in Carver Hall.
The concert , appropriatel y titled
The Joy of Christinas, was conducted
by Dr. William Decker. Thc concert
began with a scries of foreign carols
which included , Psallite . Noe , noe,
noc , Noel! ,Sors de ton lit , and
Weihachte.n.
Dr. Decker then introduced a pair of
songs, New Prince , New Pomp and
God Pest You Merry Gentlemen .
which were arranged by ^Dcckcr ' s
friend Syndcy Hodkinson. "These
songs ," said Decker , "arc quite unusual and ry thmicall y, thc pieces are
very complicated to perform."
In New Prince, New Pomp Heather

Bodine and Donna Zimmerman
played thc triangles and Nancy
Howarth played the glockensp iel.
God Rest, You Merry Gentlemen
feature d Amy Glut play ing thc free
standing chimes. Thc songs , as
Decker had noted , were unique.
However , they provided thc audience
with an interesting variation from
traditioiut! Christmas carols.
The program continued witli the
song Three German Caro l Settings ,
whieh featured Janet Fisher on the
cello, Mary Ellen Kolatis on thc clarinet , and Barb Lee on the Hute . Following this , the choir their sang Love
Came Down at Christmas , Lei Our
Gladness Have No End and 0 Little
Town of Bethlehem.
Following thc Concert Choir were
the Husky Singers , who began their
portion of thc show with thc songs
Alleluia , Vidimust scllum , with a solo
from Geoffrey Lapp, and Scijneur .j e
vous cn pric. Next , a familiar carol,

The First Nowell began with a strong
solo performance by senior Andre
Wills. The Husky Singers concluded
'tlieir portion of the show with The
Twelve Days of Christmas , which
featured solo performances from
Steve McLaughlin and Kcnj i
Kinoshita .
After a brief intermission, the Concert Choir continued with Once in
Royal David' s City , featuring solos'by
Paula Hcaden and John Oxenridcr and
What Cheer, which was conducted b y
Steve McLaughlin.
After Good Cheer, thc choir then
moved from thc stage and stationed
themselves throughout Carver Hal l
and proceeded to treat the audience to
familiar carols such as Away in a
Manger , Jolly Old St. Nic/iotas , Silent
Ni g ht , Behold a Star From Jaco b
Sinning , For Unto Us a Child is Born.
Thc show concluded with an encrgyfillcd rendition of Handel' s
Hallelujah.

"Basically, it 's just people on
campus who wan t to dance." That is
how thc choreographer/director
JodyL ynn Swartz describes the
modern dance ensemble she has put
together under the name The Moving
Company.
Thc Bloomsburg University
troupe 's second production , Scidpture s of Life , features thc dance
company as well as three groups of
actors from Swart/.' Fundamentals of
Acting class.
"We're going a little bit beyond
naturalistic acting," says Swartz , who
sees the performance as "somewhere
between " dance , basic movement ,
body language, and mime.
Sculptures follows lasl fall' s Thisn- 'That. It will feature six numbers by
thc troupe and three by the actors. Thc
key to tlie entire production is expression th rough movement.

Some of the company 's numbers
stem from sculptures (Rodin 's Head
of Sorrow and Alberto Giaocometti 's
Four Figures on a Pedestal ) which
Swartz has studied. "I just keep
looking into the sculpture ," she says.
Four figures on a Pedestal , for
example , expresses the fi gures '
breaking away fro m their immobile
pedestal bonds and their first
encounter with free movement.
Other numbers developed out of
musical pieces. "I listen over and over
and over until I get one movemen t
that 's really it ," notes Swartz.
Alexander Charles, whom Swartz
met throug h thc Bloomsburg Theatre
Ensemble 's production of Tar tuffe
lasl year, composed much of lhc music
featured in thc Sculptures of Life
show. (Charles did lhc music for
Tartuffc , and Swartz was reall y
impressed by it , so she contacted him
lo compose for the Moving
Company.) Thc numbers Hip to be

Nip and Rainbo Love were inspired by
tracks on thc album Bedful of
Metaphysicians.
In Hip, thc characters "meet each
other, share an experience, and leave."
Rambo Love employs portable
cassette players worn by the dancers .
Though they all dance and listen to
lhc same music , the meeting is not
complete because of the cassetle
players ' interference. "There's part of
the interaction thai just can't happen."
Charles also composed , at Swartz '
request, an o riginal score for the show
titled The Wall. Swartz says that
when she talked, to Charles , telling
him how his music had inspire d her
dance ideas, "He didn 't understand
lhat at all , how anybody could be
inspired in thai way."
Thc idea for The Wall arose from
Swartz ' visit this summer to the
Vietnam Veteran s' War Memorial in
Washington D.C. "There was
something tliere," she says. "I looked

Gameknobs & Joysticks

Games perspecti veye sterday
and today : it all comes around

by Douglas Rapson
Staff Writer
It 's hard to believe how far video
games have come since the good old
days. I can still remember hassling
Mom or Dad for a quarter as we would
wander up the concourse of the mall.
Thc first game I ever remember
playing was some sort of bomber
game. Thc object was to destroy the
buildings below with your bombs.
However , enemy planes were always
pestering you and hampering your
efforts.
My dad got in on the act once the
new game came to the mall. Perhaps
there arc other people who remember
a certain football game in which one
would select a play and proceed to
play it out by slapping a track-ball.
Thc "O's" would always run down the
field as the "X's" chased close behind.
Soon , thc mall replaced the footbal l
game and Space Invaders came to

town. I was never very good at Space
Invaders until it came to thc Atari
2600's, but I persisted in playing thc
arcade version all the same.
But then thc mall started to expand.
They gol another game that Dad coul d
play with his son. Space War previewed the famous "Asteroid"
starship and another that looked like
Star Trek's Enterprise.
It feature d two ships that would
battle against each other around a sun
with gravity . The firs t player to reach
10 points would win .
Asteroids followed wilh its "killer
UFOs" and was another instant hit. It
seemed that I could never get anywhere near the Asteroids machine in
thc mall .
And then Pac Man came. The first
dollar that I spent on Pac Man , I was
under thc impression that I was one of
thc ghosts. I tried like mad to get my
ghost to respond. But no matter how

hard I tried , that darn yellow "gobbler" got me and I disappeared.
Many years later , during junior
high , the next major innovation happened. They incorporated laser disk
players with the video game. AH ofa
sudden everyone was playing
Dragon 's Lair and Space Ace.
However , these games were very
short-lived and can 't even bc found
these days without a dili gent search .
But as tliey say, it all comes around.
What are some of tlie newest games
that are attracting game players
galore? Would you believe
Blasteraids, a three dimensional
version of — you guessed it —
Asteroids. Three dimensions enhance
every game. It seems that Pac Man has
gone 3-D in its latest upgrade, also.
Of course there are always new up
and comers in the field and newer
variations on the old themes. It all
comes around.
¦

up my father's name and my brother's
name , jusl to see if they were there,
and they were." Though most of the
names belonged to total strangers and
not her relatives , seeing them still
struck a chord.
' Thc role of thc acting students in tlie
product ion has its roots in pre-Hitler
Germany when "movement choirs "
were Conned to provide a creative and
emotional release for thc working
class who, S warty, says, "did not feci
appreciated."'Thc choirs also gave a
common goal and sense of purpose lo
the workers , who eventually formed
tlie choirs in nearly every community .
Thc influences of these choirs , she
says, were reflected in lhe animated
and synchronized parading of the Nazi
troops.
"Each of the three groups (from the
class) were extremely different from

Staff writer
This morning I was awakened
to strains of Red, Red Wine from
Bloomsburg 's only radio station.
Or should I say the only one that
my radio can receive. No one can
doubt the merits of UB40 , but a
change of pace would be nice.
It was then that I realized that
WHLM (also called by other nonprintable names) was the only
radio station in Bloomsburg that
comes on early enough for me to
be awakened by it.
Certain that I was not the only
student to have this problem , I
endeavored from my friends to
find out other opinions on the
subject of good morning radio.
WHLM js one of the few stations that those of us without
major antennae can get. It is not
always the favorite, but it does
provide the news and a wide spectrum of music on the morning
show with Joe Tallman. However, "Anything for Donuts" is
trying my nervesmore, "No More
for Donuts, Please."
WKRZ, out of Wiikes-Barre ,
seems to be the popular favorite
of those who can receive it. The
music is very top 40 and often
very loud, but I can live with the
volume for a non-repetitive station.
I was even able to find a few
who were lucky enough to get
WMMR out of Philadelp hia and
told me of The Morn ing Zoo .
That must be a wild experience.
Someday, maybe I'll make it
close enough to Philadelphia to
listen to it.
WBUQ, when it comes on in the
morning, is a favorite, but it's all
progressive and there is no news
that early in the morning. But
then, you take what you can get
and the Friday morning deejay
really sounds great. (That's because it's me!)
In the end , you adjust, you
adapt, and after awhile, everything sounds almost the same.

BU s Sharon O'Keefe finds herself in chief
position of Algonquin Indian game at BU
by Kelly Ann Cuthbert
Sports Editor
North American Indians started the
game, women originated their own
version of it in 1886, and some 102
years later, it found it's way to
Bloomsburg University.
The game of lacrosse was apparently invented by the Algonquin tribes
in the Valley of the St. Lawrence.
Only then , the game was called
"Baggataway" and had religious
value. It was performed as a training
device for tribal warriors. "Games"
lasted for two or three days and the
goals, which were 500 yards apart,
were marked by trees.
The first rules were established in
1867, and 19 years later, women were
in the market for their own version.
They had their first Southern Ladies
lacrosse club in 1905, and in 1912,
they had their own Ladies' Lacrosse
Association.
Women have been participating in
the sport at BU since 1976. Since that
time, there have been many ups and
downs.
The road to success hasn't been
easy. Sharon O'Keefe, head coach for
BU women's lacrosse, can attest to
that
"When I first came here, we were
very unsuccessful . We.had no wins
and only six games on our schedule.
But we went from 0-8 to 6-5 last year.
And for the last three years we have

qualified for states."
O'Keefe, who enjoys outdoor and
wilderness activities such as backpacking, is currently seeking her second Master's degree in Experiential
Education from Mankato in Minnesota. This Trenton , New Jersey native
received a Bachelor's of Science in
Health and Physical Education from
Trenton State College, where she
played field hockey and lacrosse. Her
firstMaster 's of Education was earned
at East Stroudsburg Un iversity, now a
rival of her own team.
O'Keefe credits her interest in
coaching to an active family life .
"Being raised with two older brothers
and a twin sister, I was always active.
That led to my interest in sports."
While in college, she coached club
teams—a job lhat included instructing
basketball, lacrosse, swimming, and
field hockey. She is also the assistant
coach for BU field hockey.
Field hockey lakes her time in the
fall , while lacrosse opens in the
spring.
"Lacrosse keeps you in shape and
everyone seemsto have a good time—
it must be something about the
spring."
And having fun is an important part
of the O'Keefe coaching philosophy.
Maybe this has something to do with
her role models, who were her high
school and college coaches. "They
had a good outlook on life," she said,

"and it wasn't just win , win, win. It
was more than lhat. You wanted to
behave as a team member, to do it for
the betterment of the team, the betterment of you—not just to win.
"As a coach, I want to go out to
practice and enjoy it and in return , I
want the players to enjoy it—that 's
my first priority."
She added , "Only hard work will get
them success, and if they enjoy doing
lhat, that says a lot."
Every player on this squad has to
work hard because no player has a set
position. "I like to treat my players
fairly and with respect, and I expect
that in return—that makes the team
rapport really good"—whether the
players are skilled or just beginning.
O'Keefe enjoys teaching unskilled
lacrosse players the basics. "How they
react when they 've finally picked it up
makes it worth it, worth the effort."
And her efforts as a coach have not
been without success. Three years ago
BU was ranked fourth in the state
PSACs and took fourth. Two years
ago they were ranked fourth and
placed third. Last year they were
ranked third and took third, but they
beat the team that won the championship in regular season—Millersville.
O'Keefe believes the team's recent
success is due to more participants and
more interest in the sport. "It's a good
feelingknowing that the students want
to come out and play."

But O'Keefe is disappointed with
one aspect of the overall program—
the fact that there is no national tournament for Division II teams like
Bloomsburg. "We don't get any publicity because we're not going to nationals. But there's only 13 Division II
schools in the nation, and they have to
go to Division I nationals."
She adds that it's very hard to get
players for the lacrosse program itself.
"There's no lacrosse in this area, but
other sports are all around. Lacrosse is
not a really popular sport, or one that's
as competitive as other sports because
there are less teams and less players."
The smaller number of players must
"work together to improve each
other." Even though she's disappointed with the limited opportunities
afforded to the participants of the
sport,she is positive about the impending season. O'Keefe is excited about
talented incoming freshmen,returning
scorers, and a strong midfield. "I'm
looking to be a contender for the
PSAC, a strong contender. Last year
we broke a lot of firsts—including the
win against Millersville. We beat them
and we had our best season yet."
Those kind of hard-fought wins are
the results of intense training. The
players begin to practice on February
1. What follows is a hard two months
of indoor training at Nelson Field
House, and cold practices outside in
the parking lot when the fields are

covered with snow.
How do they escape the frigid environment? They migrate—to the warm
sunny beaches of thc south during
Spring Break.
This year most of the learn will
spend their break in Bermuda. "We've
gone south five times out of the pasl
seven years. It's very good for us. It
helps the team get to know each other
and get pre-season conditioning and
skill work in while the fields arc still
covered with snow. I think we're a lot
stronger than other teams in lhe beginning of lhe season because of this."
Not only are the players quite ready
to face the season, but O'Keefe feels
that sports help you to face life.
It certainly disciplines you—it
demands you organize your schedule.
I think sometimes athletes tend to have
better grades than others who aren 't
active in extracurricular activities."
She added that sports "teaches you
to communicate with others. Certainly, a good sense of humor helps!"
Being on a team also gives you a
chance td meet new people, and for
O'Keefe, "The more people you meel,
the more you learn."
There's one more thing she has to
add. "I don 't think a team is a team
unless they're all pulling for each
other."
This season should be no exception
for a coach and a team that work hard
but know how to have fun too.

As we head into finals week, most
of us will not be thinking about
Bloomsburg basketball. But upon return to the university after the Christmas break, both the men's and
women's basketball teams will head
into conference division play.
Last week we reviewed the PSAC
East division for the men. Today we
will review the PSAC East division
for the women. The top three teams
qualify for post season play.

sity history should score over 2,000
points in her career at Bloomsburg.
Becky Pigga or Nina Alston will be
coach Joe Bressi's point guard. Pi gga
battled through injuries last season but
should contribute more to the program. Alston was a strong player as a
freshman and has scoring punch along
with better defensive play.
Up front will be sophomore Barb
Hall. Hall will not be relied upon for
scoring but more for rebounding.
Others to watch will be Donna
Cooper and Karen DeLullo. DIVISION CHAMPS FOR THE SECOND
YEAR IN A ROW.
MILLERSVILLE- Millersville lost
their co-captains, Jul Zuber and Ginny
Ackeiwicz, to graduation but returns
everyone else and should again contend for the conference title.
Returning is two all PSAC East first
team choices, forward Karen Arnold
and guard Kathy Howell. Arnold led
the team last year in scoring and rebounds and probably will do the same
thing this year. Howell gives the
Marauders a outside shooting threat as
she shot over 50 percent from the field
last year.
Also returning are forwards Deb
Hallman and Tina Klotzbeecher.
Others to watch are Mary Mcleerey
at point guard and freshman Tracy
Brain at center. ANOTHER RUN AT
THE TITLE, BUT NOT ENOUGH
HORSES.
KUTZTOWN -With a tough non-

conference schedule ahead of them
the Golden Bears will have problems
early in the season but will contend for
a playoff spot come division play
time.
Kutztown returns all players from
last year's club that just missed the
playoffs a year ago.
The team leader is senior Sherry
Szczuka. Szczuka can do it all, score,
rebound, steal the ball, and hand out
assists. Pam Dreisbach will be the
point guard and should continually
feed the ball to Szczuka.
Leading the forward positions will
be Melissa Boettger. Boettger will be
needed to score more points that last
year in order for Kutztown to win.
Others to watch will be Katy Tranguch and Monica Charles. PLAYOFF
CONTENDER , COULD SURPRISE
SOME TEAMS.
WEST CHESTER- Will the Rams
survive without superstar center
Linda Vidovich. Head coach Deirdre
Kane hopes so as she has everybody
else back.
Alicia Lomax should help fill the
shoes of Vidovichas she will probably
be the starting center.
Four starters return including senior
Leslie Mensch who is a reliable
shooter and a strong defensive player.
Michelle Markley will need to learn
how to stay out of foul trouble at the
other forward spot in order to be effective.
At guard will be Gretchen Scott, she

is the team defensive player and
sharpshooter from the outside.
At point guard is Colleen McNamara who is the team playmaker
handing out over 100 assists last season.
Others to watch will be Lori Patrick
and Bridget Gieles. A PLAYOFF
CONTENDER.
EAST STROUDSBURG- The
Warriors will struggle early while
they learn a new system under first
year coach Betty Clark.
East Stroudsburg has eleven players
returning including top scorer Nan
Wagner. Wagner should be the third
player in the university's history to
score over 1000 points in her career.
Also returning is Tonia Lloyd, another scoring threat for the Warriors
along with point guard Laura Lenio.
Others to watch are Colleen Newman .Colleen CaseandMariaLangendoerfer. CAN BE A SPOILER LATE
IN THE SEASON.
CHEYNEY- The Wolves return to
division play after five years at the
Division II level.
Second year coach Jackie Tunstall
returns all key players from last year's
team including one of the top leading
scorersin the nation Wanda Williams.
Williams had a outstanding 26.7 average last season and she may be able to
carry the team to some victories in the
division.
Annette Rodgers is the center and
Denise Hughes is the point guard.

Returning to Cheyney are four
proposition 48 victims.
Cheyney is tall as they have five
players that are 5-10 or higher.
Others to watch are Tina Brooks,
Leslie Baker, and Star Hopkins. THE
RETURN OF A ONCE PROUD
JUGGERNAUT.
MANSFIELD- The Mountaineers
can score, but they can 't defend. That
may change with an outstanding
freshman class that includes high
school all-star selections Dominica
Applegate and Darla Shepard.
Leading Joe French's club will be
Lisa Sherman who leads the team in
scoring and rebounding.
Sophomore Sondra Tracy led the
conference in three point shooting last
year and should do so again.
Mansfield has their version of the
twin towers in Dawn Bemhard and
Debbie Gyms who need to play strong
inside for the Mountaineers to win.
Others to watch will be Tina Craig,
and Denise Pitcher, all first year players for Mansfield. NEEDS HELP
WITHDEFENSE AND THAT WILL
LOSE MANY GAMES.
